Tonight's headlines: 19-year-old Georgia Fairthorne wasn't wearing | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
a helmet when she was seriously injured in a skateboarding accident. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Now a leading charity urges young skateboarders and cyclists | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Head injury can affect people in terms of their behaviour, in terms | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
of their emotional well-being and also, physically, people can be | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
affected and be left with long-term disabilities. | :00:27. | :00:44. | |
Also tonight, Anglesey teenager Amy Brooke is in hospital | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
with spinal injuries after a tree branch fell | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
on her at a National Trust site on the island. | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
It only re-opened to visitors a few years ago but at the end | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
of the summer St Catherine's Island is shutting once more. | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
A successful few days for Welsh athletes in Rio. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
Owain Doull and Elinor Barker win Olympic Gold for Team GB - | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
a moment their families will never forget. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
I was the happiest sister in the world | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
but it came across as a lot of sobbing. | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
The definite crybaby of the family and super proud of Owain | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
Every three minutes, someone in the UK is admitted | :01:31. | :01:42. | |
to hospital with a head injury and, according to a leading brain-injury | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
charity here in Wales, many of those injuries | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Headway are calling for helmets to be compulsory for all children | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
who are cycling and believe skateboarders would also benefit | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
It comes as a mother from Pembrokeshire is campaigning | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
for new helmet laws after a skateboard accident left her | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
It's fast and fun but the thrills can so easily turn into spills | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
and for skateboarders who have no protection for their head, | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
there can be devastating consequences. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
That is what happened to 19-year-old Georgia Fairthorne. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
She fell off a skateboard in Pembrokeshire while playing | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
with her brother and sister ten days ago. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
She is now recovering in hospital in Cardiff where for | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
As a result her mother Emma has launched a social media campaign | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
Take care of your kids and get them a helmet | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
when they are on their scooters or their skateboards. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Emma Fairthorne has also launched an online petition calling | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
for the government to make the wearing of helmets compulsory. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
But within the skating community, there are mixed views. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Guto Williams runs this popular store in Cardiff and is an advocate | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
of safe skateboarding but he says there is resistance | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Believe it or not, head injuries are really rare in skateboarding. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
It's an action sport so it is quite dangerous but it is quite rare. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
That said, we strongly advise children and beginners | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
The Headway charity at Rookwood Hospital in Cardiff | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
helps people who have had brain injuries, some from accidents. | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
They believe a sizeable proportion of those injuries could have been | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Every three minutes a person is admitted to hospital in the UK | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
with a head injury and some are permanently brain-damaged. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Head injury can affect people in terms of their behaviour, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
in terms of their emotional well-being and also, physically, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
people can be affected and be left with long-term disabilities. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
And that is just what happened to Jeff. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
He's now 41 but as a teenager he came off his skateboard | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
He was in a coma for six weeks and has suffered brain injuries | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Obviously you are a keen advocate of helmets? | :04:15. | :04:52. | |
But the message is not getting through. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
None of these teenagers at this skate park on this Cardiff Bay | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
barrage were wearing helmets and they say they really do. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
The better you get, the more you learn to fall safely | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
and the less likely you are to get a head injury. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Nothing has happened around my head area ever. | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
If something does go wrong, we know how to protect our body | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
What do you think the others would say if one of you | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
But as Georgia Fairthorne and Jeff know, | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
With the number of head injuries on the increase, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
their families are determined to keep up the pressure | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
A teenager has also been seriously injured after a tree branch snapped | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
and hit her at a National Trust site on Anglesey. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
18-year-old Amy Brooke was hit while she was at | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Her family have been waiting to hear whether or not she'll | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Matthew Richards joins us now from Plas Newydd. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
The area where this happened is a Woodland park just on the other side | :06:00. | :06:11. | |
of the property behind me. I think we can show you a picture of the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
branch which snapped and fell on top of Amy Brooke. She had only been at | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Plas Newydd for about 15 minutes with a friend and she suffered a | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
number of injuries to her lower back and spinal area. She is being cared | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
for locally and we understand she is in a comfortable condition. There | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
was some discussion as to whether she should be transferred to a | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
specialist hospital in Stoke. Plas Newydd is a large estate, very | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
popular with tourists. It has been very popular today. Bidders on the | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
banks of the Menai Strait. Earlier, I asked a member of the trust to | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
explain what they think happened. From the investigations that have | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
been carried out so far, we believe that it might be, | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
and I stress it might be, a phenomenon known as summer drop, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
where a healthy tree for no apparent reason suddenly | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
drops a major branch. But it's very early days so I can't | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
confirm that is actually the case and we will do everything we can | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
to get the bottom of this So the investigation is already | :07:09. | :07:20. | |
underway? There have been a number of National Trust experts having a | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
look at the trees on the site today. All the areas where the public would | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
normally walk have been created as no entry areas today and that will | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
remain the case until at least tomorrow when the Health and Safety | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
Executive will be on site to assess any problems. Ordinarily, the | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
National Trust say they carry out visual inspections of the trees to | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
make sure there are no obvious problems. They have expressed their | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
sympathies to Amy Brooke and her family. They will try and get to the | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
bottom of what happened to make sure they can open the site in full and | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
to make sure that everyone is safe. Well, it was an extraordinary | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
weekend for Team GB at the Rio Olympics and Welsh | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
athletes certainly had their part The number of medals won by Welsh | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
athletes competing for Team GB could reach double | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
figures, according to Welsh athletes have equalled | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
the record haul of medals Seven in medals in total - | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
five silvers, in the swimming, rowing, rugby sevens | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
and in the velodrome. Welsh cyclists have also | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
delivered two gold medals. The good news is there's another | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
week to go, with taekwondo's Jade Jones and sailor | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Hannah Mills competing. Becky James is going | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
for her second medal. Terrific, wasn't it? It all started | :08:37. | :08:59. | |
on Friday with Owain Doull and Jaz Carlin. Two medals in a day. Surely | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
it could not happen again. Well, it did. We are still some way of the | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
four golds of Antwerp in 1920. That includes four golds in the relay at | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
the athletics but already these games are considered to be up there | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
with the best ever for Welsh athletes. | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Gold medal winners, Olympic champions and Welsh. | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Owain Doull and the Great Britain team pursuit team won | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
in world record time and celebrations soon followed. | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
Feeling a bit worse for wear today, I will be honest. | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
I think it's the only thing to do after three or four years | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
You did not get led astray by Sir Bradley Wiggins, did you? | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
Whether that is on the bike or off the bike. | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
When we caught up with Wales' second gold medallist | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
and world record-holder yesterday, Elinor Barker, | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
I only turned my phone on a few hours ago to see what | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
Everybody seemed to know what was going on. | :10:14. | :10:21. | |
It did not seem like this worldwide thing. | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
Having grown up together in Cardiff, riding for the same club as kids, | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
they became Olympic champions within 24 hours of each other. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
But they are based these days in Manchester. | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Most of the Welsh athletes in Team GB train across the border | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
but sporting chiefs insist that Wales has had an important | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
85% of the team have had support from the Institute and Sport Wales. | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
Sports science, sport medicine, so they have come through club | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
systems and the majority have come through in Wales, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
which is about great coaching, great facilities, it is about | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
starting them young and helping them develop their talent. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
It is exactly what is happening here. | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
A chance to try cycling at a very young age. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
These sessions in Maindy in Cardiff are organised by Welsh Cycling, | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
Their old coach says that Lottery money has transformed the sport. | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
It has made a massive difference since it came along in 1997, | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
just for the riders to be able to be full-time. | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
They don't have to work alongside training. | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
They can do everything they need to do and that is why | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
Back in Rio, Welsh cycling success continued. | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
After spending a difficult two years dealing with injury and a cancer | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
She could win another medal in the sprint tomorrow. | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
It does not even feel real right now. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
I knew I was stuck at the back and I did not know | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
I didn't want to be stuck on the outside so I left | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Spectators wore red dragons with pride. | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
This medical volunteer from North Wales | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
cheering Welsh competitors on between sets. | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
As soon as you mention Wales, everyone says Gareth Bale. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Hopefully they will now mention our athletes doing well | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
Jazz Carlin has certainly been one name everyone is talking about. | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
A second silver, this time in the 800 metre freestyle, | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
putting her up with the greats of Welsh swimming. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
It took a lot for me to get back in the pool | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
and a lot for me to find that drive again but I am glad. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
The Rio Games are already amongst the most successful ever for Welsh | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
athletes and with plenty of medal prospects to come, they could well | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
I mentioned Becky James there. She broke Victoria Pendleton's Olympic | :12:53. | :13:07. | |
record in sprint qualifying yesterday and made it through to the | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
last eight today. The final is tomorrow. And Cardiff sailor Hannah | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Mills and her partner continue to lead in their class. There could be | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
another successful week to come. I'll have the rest of the day's | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
sport later in the programme. Still to come on the programme | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
before seven o'clock: It has been reopened to the public | :13:26. | :13:41. | |
after being closed since 1978 but now developers say problems mean it | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
will once more have to close its doors. | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
The whole of Wales basking in sunshine. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
Even warmer tomorrow but how long will it last? | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
The chance of a split in the Labour Party is greater now | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
That's the view of a Welsh Labour supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, who sits | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
It comes amid a row over which party members can vote in the leadership | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
election between Mr Corbyn and Pontypridd MP Owen Smith. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Our political correspondent Daniel Davies has been speaking | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
to party members, starting in Newport. | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
Which direction for Labour? These three young members in Newport told | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
me why they hope Owen Smith can topple Jeremy Corbyn. They are both | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Labour members and for them to share the same view, it is expected | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
almost. The difference is that Jeremy Corbyn will not win a general | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
election and Owen Smith can. You can have a traditional Labour leader | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
becoming the next Prime Minister or you can opt for Jeremy Ayre, but you | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
are just surrendering to the Conservatives. I would say even got | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
a good chance. I would say don't listen to the hype around Jeremy | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
Corbyn. Whoever wins will have to sell the party to a wider electorate | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
and while the two campaigns trade blows over who should get that job, | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
this contest has provided brisk business for the lawyers. There has | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
been a tussle in the courts over who should vote. Labour members who | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
joined in the last six months will not take part. A decision by the | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
party's National Executive Committee upheld in the Court of Appeal last | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
week. Harriet rejoined Labour to back Jeremy Corbyn. She paid an | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
extra ?25 to make sure she could vote for him and she says trying to | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
groom the electorate for this contest will fuel his campaign. The | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
party is trying really hard to stop the left developing and getting | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
votes and Jeremy but they are doing the opposite because we see | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
thousands of people across the country turning up to his rallies. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
He is now the antiestablishment candidate. One Jeremy Corbyn | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
supporter on the party's committee dismisses claims the far left is | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
trying to infiltrate Labour. The idea that any significant proportion | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
of the 300,000 members comes from any number of the tiny far left | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
sects that we are talking about is ludicrous. And on the chance of | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
labour splitting? There is more chance of us splitting now than | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
there has been at any time in the recent past. I hope that can be | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
avoided. I think whatever the outcome a few people will leave the | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
party but I hope those figures will remain small. Owen Smith today | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
attacked what he calls Tory plans to privatise in England. He says labour | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
is heading for a crushing defeat if it does not change course. But the | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
Jeremy Corbyn can claim today it has the overwhelming support of local | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
constituency Labour parties. The result for this second Labour | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
leadership election in as many years will be announced on the 24th of | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
September. The recovery of an RAF helicopter | :17:05. | :17:05. | |
which burst into flames in Snowdonia A chinook helicopter from RAF Odiham | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
in Hampshire has been sent to move The training aircraft caught fire | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
shortly after making an emergency All five people on board | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
escaped unharmed. Figures suggest the number | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
of shoppers in Wales has reached its highest level | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
since June 2013. The figures from the British Retail | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Consortium show footfall was up by 1.7% here last month, | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
with Wales outperforming But there's also been a small rise | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
in the number of empty shops, We have seen some positive news | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
from the footfall figures for the last three months | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
and that is great news for consumers, great news for stores | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
and great news for the 135,000 people who are employed | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
in the retail sector. While that is positive, | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
and we have a cautious optimism going forward, | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
there is the downside at the moment where we are seeing an increase | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
in the number of vacant premises. A multi-million pound Army drone | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
was scrapped after it crashed at Aberporth Airfield in Ceredigion, | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
according to a de-classified report. The 70 stone unmanned and unarmed | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
air vehicle crashed during a test It was part of the Army's | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
billion pounds Watchkeeper It only re-opened recently | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
but St Catherine's Island near Tenby is to close at the end | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
of this month. The island fort, opened as a tourist | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
attraction last year after being shut since the 1970s | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
but developing it further has become Abigail Neal is there | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
for us tonight. It is a beautiful evening here in | :18:41. | :18:57. | |
Tenby tonight but this scene really does illustrate one of the problems | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
of developing St Catherine's Island as a tourist attraction. Namely, you | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
are beholden to the tide. Those behind this venture had been | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
planning to build some jetties so that you could arrive by boat but in | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
the end they thought, because of circumstances, it was all grooving | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
to costly. It is not just the glorious sunshine | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
which set the scene. A backdrop like St Catherine's Island, enticing | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Tenby's villagers to explore. The island and its Napoleonic fort had | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
been close to the public since 1978 but recently moves were made to | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
regenerate this landmark. Last year, it was opened up for guided tours | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
and, after a long road through planning, the idea to develop it as | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
a tourist attraction was given approval. The developers had been | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
looking to do more work here with a nature trail around the island, | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
jetties to make it more accessible by boat and even an outdoor cafe up | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
on the roof. But in the end of the restrictions involved made it | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
financially unviable. Visitor numbers have been steady but not as | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
high as had hoped and at the end of this month the doors will close once | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
again. It will be a shame to lose it. Over 35 years I have been coming | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
to Tenby and it is something I have been looking forward to be able to | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
visit and it is really sad that it is due to close. Many are not too | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
worried about the loss of this one attraction. After all, Tenby still | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
has lots to offer. And some are optimistic this will not be the end. | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
Hopefully there will be developers that can take it on and there are a | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
number of other attractions that operate very successfully in the | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
area. It may have been built for soldiers in the 19th century but the | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
fort has had many uses since then. Although now it's next chapter looks | :21:02. | :21:02. | |
uncertain. Inside, the fort has not changed | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
much since it was first built in 1870 but it has had various | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
incarnations over the years, including most bizarrely as a zoo at | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
one point. But come September, St Catherine's Island will go back once | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
again to being cut off and inaccessible. | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
Let's get the rest of the day's sport now with Tomos. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
First to football, and Arsenal have confirmed the Wales midfielder | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Aaron Ramsey has a hamstring injury and is being assessed by the club. | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
In exactly three weeks, Wales will start their World Cup | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
qualifying campaign against Moldova at the Cardiff City Stadium. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace midfielder Jonny Williams is expected to miss | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Wales assistant manager Osian Roberts says Wales | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
striker Hal Robson-Kanu, who's without a club team, doesn't | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
Robson-Kanu has been a free agent since he left Reading. | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
After Euro 2016, the midfielder has been linked with several | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
Cricket, and on day three of four of Glamorgan's away game | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
against Worcestershire, the home side finished on 393, | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
setting Glamorgan 265 to win, with nine wickets remaining. | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
Back to Rio, and a wonderful few days for our athletes | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
It's the culmination of years of hard training, | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
often not just for them but their families too. | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
So, it made it even sweeter that they could share | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
I hated it, if I am honest. I was so nervous. I am a terrible spectator. | :22:43. | :23:11. | |
There is George North, her boyfriend. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
It was so emotional. She was so pleased, we were so pleased. It was | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
so nice that we could be together and celebrate her success. | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
Smiles all around and well-deserved. She keeps her feet on the ground, | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
that has been really important for us as a family. And we will make | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
sure she does keep her feet on the ground. She will be washing the | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
dishes. Owain Doull! | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
Their moment, their glory. I was the happiest sister in the | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
world but it came across as a lot of sobbing. Definitely the crybaby of | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
the family and super proud of him and what he has achieved today. | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
The first Olympic Games but her second Olympic medal. | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
She blew us all away in the 400 metres earlier in the week. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
I am absolutely speechless. I don't know what to say! That was beyond my | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
wildest dreams, for her to come away with two medals. She has certainly | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
made up for lost time. It's been a golden day weather-wise | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
for the whole country. Derek, is the good | :24:37. | :24:41. | |

would get last week but warm enough Temperatures inland falling as low | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
