Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories -

:00:00.:00:07.

The First Minister is heading to the US to - as he says -

:00:08.:00:12.

But how easy is that in the aftermath of Brexit?

:00:13.:00:17.

I think there is a lot of concern from American businesses about the

:00:18.:00:20.

role that Wales and the wider UK will play.

:00:21.:00:23.

The pedigree dogs worth ?1,000 each - and the puppy thieves

:00:24.:00:26.

So far - it looks like a bumper tourist season.

:00:27.:00:39.

And 25 years ago Ely in Cardiff erupted into days of riots -

:00:40.:00:47.

it all started over a row over the sale of bread.

:00:48.:01:06.

Wales needs to be sold to the world "like never before" according

:01:07.:01:12.

New figures suggest the number of jobs created by foreign companies

:01:13.:01:18.

But Mr Jones says that performance could be under threat -

:01:19.:01:24.

if Brexit negotiations result in the UK losing the ability

:01:25.:01:27.

to trade freely with the rest of the EU in the single market.

:01:28.:01:30.

Here's our political editor Nick Servini.

:01:31.:01:36.

You can argue that Wales' profile around the world

:01:37.:01:40.

has never been higher, after the success of our footballers

:01:41.:01:45.

in the European Championships this summer, but can that be

:01:46.:01:49.

capitalised on when the whistle is set to be blown on the UK's

:01:50.:01:52.

New figures show that in the year from April 2015,

:01:53.:01:58.

nearly 5,500 jobs were created in 97 investment projects.

:01:59.:02:01.

That is a rise of 7% on the previous year.

:02:02.:02:05.

The figures don't reflect the referendum result but it appears

:02:06.:02:09.

that they weren't affected by the general uncertainty

:02:10.:02:12.

surrounding the build-up to the vote.

:02:13.:02:15.

Big names like Aston Martin have recently announced plans

:02:16.:02:18.

Carwyn Jones believes that trend could be under threat if the UK

:02:19.:02:24.

You have to say to people what you believe is absolutely

:02:25.:02:31.

fundamental and for me, it is absolutely fundamental

:02:32.:02:34.

that we have access to the single market.

:02:35.:02:37.

Anything beyond that, to me, that is negotiable,

:02:38.:02:40.

but I cannot see how we can continue to attract investment in the levels

:02:41.:02:50.

we have done if we are outside a market ten

:02:51.:02:52.

We now know that Carwyn James will define his approach to Brexit

:02:53.:02:58.

negotiations around the need for the UK to form part

:02:59.:03:00.

In other words, for there to be free movement of goods and services.

:03:01.:03:05.

The problem is though that that may only be achievable if there is

:03:06.:03:08.

And it is likely that that would be unacceptable for many

:03:09.:03:13.

After criticism from opposition parties that he had been slow

:03:14.:03:19.

to act, the focus now is selling Wales abroad.

:03:20.:03:22.

First up, Chicago, as part of a series of trade visits

:03:23.:03:25.

by the First Minister to the US next week.

:03:26.:03:27.

But there will be challenges, including the fact that he cannot

:03:28.:03:30.

tell the Americans exactly what kind of relationship we

:03:31.:03:34.

There is probably more concern than confusion about

:03:35.:03:41.

the attractiveness of the UK because historically,

:03:42.:03:44.

we have seen the UK and Wales, as part of that, as a fantastic

:03:45.:03:47.

launchpad and now, we are maybe not so sure what the advantages

:03:48.:03:51.

would be and should we go straight into the EU market,

:03:52.:03:55.

or should we test and refine what we do in Wales before

:03:56.:04:00.

The terms of that future relationship will be

:04:01.:04:07.

under discussion tomorrow when the Prime Minister Theresa May

:04:08.:04:10.

chairs her first Cabinet since the summer break.

:04:11.:04:13.

Around the table will be the Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns

:04:14.:04:16.

who struck an upbeat tone today on the latest economic data.

:04:17.:04:21.

We have heard figures of doom and gloom all along but we need

:04:22.:04:25.

People said the inward investment figures this year would be down

:04:26.:04:31.

because of the uncertainty of the referendum.

:04:32.:04:36.

We need to work positively and constructively with businesses.

:04:37.:04:41.

It is not just inward investment, there have also been some strong

:04:42.:04:44.

The big job for all now is to try to ensure they continue.

:04:45.:04:50.

Nick, we also learnt how the Welsh Government

:04:51.:04:51.

Carwyn Jones has been under some pressure to appoint specialist

:04:52.:05:01.

Brexit minister like we have seen in Scotland. He did that, I suppose,

:05:02.:05:07.

you could say this morning, when he appointed himself, saying in effect

:05:08.:05:10.

the job was too big to give to anyone else. There will be a

:05:11.:05:15.

specialist unit of senior civil servants involved, trying to work

:05:16.:05:19.

out the obligations of the Brexit for the Welsh government but

:05:20.:05:25.

largely, they will be responding, particularly in the early days, the

:05:26.:05:30.

big decisions made at Cabinet level and in this regard, Alun Cairns, the

:05:31.:05:34.

Welsh Secretary, is closer to the action in terms of how it will play

:05:35.:05:39.

out. I thought it was striking, the difference in tone between Alun

:05:40.:05:44.

Cairns and Carwyn Jones. Alun Cairns talked about how entrepreneurs

:05:45.:05:48.

thrived on change and the opportunities for businesses. Carwyn

:05:49.:05:51.

Jones saying there will be problems down the track if we are not in the

:05:52.:05:55.

single market and how lots of investment decisions have been put

:05:56.:06:02.

on hold. You can argue either way about who is right at this stage but

:06:03.:06:06.

I don't think anyone would argue that both governments need to work

:06:07.:06:11.

together in what is obviously a major task facing senior

:06:12.:06:16.

politicians. Thank you. Now, the rest of the day's news.

:06:17.:06:19.

Two men have been sentenced to a total of nearly six years

:06:20.:06:22.

in prison for the violent theft of a pedigree dog from

:06:23.:06:24.

Thomas Stokes and his son Martin Stokes from the East Midlands

:06:25.:06:29.

posed as potential buyers before stealing the puppy.

:06:30.:06:33.

The pedigree dogs fetch over ?1,000. Jordan Davies has the story.

:06:34.:06:37.

He was prepared to steal people's prize animals,

:06:38.:06:40.

Thomas Stokes on the left and his son Martin Stokes posed

:06:41.:06:46.

Seen here outside court, they contacted Liz Swain,

:06:47.:06:52.

a pedigree breeder from Abergavenny, and travelled to her home.

:06:53.:06:57.

Reports hear the men wanted to take three of the puppies to their car

:06:58.:07:00.

Liz Swain became suspicious and tried to prevent the men

:07:01.:07:07.

Thomas Stokes then punched Liz Swain and they made off with one

:07:08.:07:12.

Liz Swain was left with serious injuries.

:07:13.:07:18.

She also fell trying to chase the men.

:07:19.:07:21.

The courts heard the attack has destroyed her confidence.

:07:22.:07:25.

Thomas Stokes was after these prize pugs worth around ?1,200 each.

:07:26.:07:28.

Two were later found hiding near Miss Swain's home.

:07:29.:07:35.

Hilary Linnett breeds pugs and German Shepherds

:07:36.:07:40.

She says security for private sellers is becoming

:07:41.:07:46.

She checks people are who they say they are before allowing

:07:47.:07:53.

A lot of people don't get past a phone call.

:07:54.:07:57.

If they are enquiring about a puppy, if I don't...

:07:58.:08:00.

I know this sounds a bit contrary but if I don't like the sound

:08:01.:08:05.

like the sound of them, or they don't meet my very,

:08:06.:08:09.

very specific criteria that I have for whoever wants a puppy from me,

:08:10.:08:12.

if they don't fit that, a lot of people don't

:08:13.:08:14.

The court heard the men had about 50 previous convictions between them.

:08:15.:08:20.

The judge said the sentences were aimed at preventing other

:08:21.:08:22.

attacks on people who sell from their home.

:08:23.:08:25.

Thomas Stokes admitted theft and assault and was sentenced

:08:26.:08:28.

Martin Stokes admitted conspiracy to pervert the course

:08:29.:08:35.

of justice and was sentenced to ten months in prison.

:08:36.:08:41.

Staff at a North Wales coach firm - which collapsed last month -

:08:42.:08:44.

have contacted lawyers about a possible group

:08:45.:08:50.

More than 300 people were made redundant when Wrexham-based GHA

:08:51.:08:56.

Now 48 staff are considering legal action, for failing to consult

:08:57.:09:02.

A man has been banned from driving for 56 days after being caught doing

:09:03.:09:09.

a 129 miles per hour on the A55 in Anglesey.

:09:10.:09:12.

Magistrates were told Habib Malik, from Birmingham,

:09:13.:09:15.

was worried he'd miss a ferry from Holyhead to Ireland.

:09:16.:09:19.

The takeaway owner was also fined ?150.

:09:20.:09:22.

More than 800 people were arrested in Wales over the last three years -

:09:23.:09:26.

suspected of illegally entering the UK.

:09:27.:09:29.

Figures obtained by the BBC from three of the Welsh forces,

:09:30.:09:32.

show South Wales Police had the most arrests at 572.

:09:33.:09:35.

Gwent saw the biggest rise, up by 73%, to 184.

:09:36.:09:44.

August Bank Holiday has passed and it is about that time

:09:45.:09:48.

that the tourist industry starts to assess just how good - or bad -

:09:49.:09:51.

Officially there are no figures yet, but according to Visit Wales -

:09:52.:09:56.

the tourism arm of the Welsh Government -

:09:57.:10:00.

initial reports suggest summer 2016 has been a bumper year.

:10:01.:10:03.

Roger Pinney is at one of Colwyn Bay's main

:10:04.:10:05.

attractions - the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

:10:06.:10:08.

Meet Genghis, the camel. We have had a mostly glorious day here with

:10:09.:10:22.

bright sunshine and warm temperatures, but it has been a

:10:23.:10:26.

pretty mixed summer weather-wise. Not that it seems to have bothered

:10:27.:10:32.

the many tourist operators. There is a very confident feel about this

:10:33.:10:38.

year. Let's get the latest on the roads with Dave Brooks. Still

:10:39.:10:42.

looking pretty slow on the a 55 heading east anywhere from Colwyn

:10:43.:10:48.

bay through to the same Asaph area. Seems to be a lot of holiday traffic

:10:49.:10:53.

heading home. With so much going on, it was hardly surprising the roads

:10:54.:10:57.

were busy. A sunny Bank Holiday Monday, what more could the Welsh

:10:58.:11:02.

tourist trade hope for? This is my idea of camping. I don't do crawling

:11:03.:11:07.

into a tent across a muddy fields. So we have a nice, big king-size

:11:08.:11:12.

bed, super king-size bed actually and everything you would expect to

:11:13.:11:17.

find in a hotel suite. It is an industry leading to cater for

:11:18.:11:21.

different tastes. This safari tent encampment isn't in Africa but in

:11:22.:11:27.

the grounds of a country house near Denbigh. Glamorous camping is the

:11:28.:11:35.

new big thing, apparently. This site took the plunge 18 years ago. You

:11:36.:11:40.

are charging lots of people to stay in a tent? Yes, but look at the

:11:41.:11:46.

tent! We have the zip wire, Snowdonia, everyone is looking for

:11:47.:11:50.

something different and they have the money. They have low mortgage

:11:51.:11:55.

rates and good jobs and they have the money and they want something

:11:56.:11:58.

different and they are working very hard and they only have a couple of

:11:59.:12:01.

days and they are happy to pay for something that is a really good

:12:02.:12:05.

facility and they expect a 5-star standard which is what we give them.

:12:06.:12:13.

The latest visit Wales advert shows Wales to be the place for surf lakes

:12:14.:12:18.

and zip wires as well as cattle and mountains. There is still the place

:12:19.:12:21.

for the old-fashioned seaside holiday break and many we spoke to

:12:22.:12:24.

in Colwyn Bay today are day-trippers. We are coming for a

:12:25.:12:30.

nice, sandy beach not too far away. Also ideal for grandchildren. We

:12:31.:12:37.

love coming to Wales. We love the beach for the children, walking, the

:12:38.:12:46.

castles and of course, funfairs intended no so quite a variety of

:12:47.:12:53.

things Wales offers. The Welsh tourist industry is changing,

:12:54.:12:57.

adapting, to chase the market. You can do all the adventure stuff but

:12:58.:13:01.

also have a traditional beach bucket and spade holiday as well. They even

:13:02.:13:07.

offer free wi-fi here. Is it evolving quickly enough? Some

:13:08.:13:10.

statistics suggest the English holiday industry is performing

:13:11.:13:13.

better than the Welsh. Looking at the whole package of figures, you

:13:14.:13:19.

will find tourism in Wales has grown significantly outperformed the rest

:13:20.:13:23.

of the UK in many respects in recent years. No doubt, the UK should and

:13:24.:13:28.

possibly will catch up to some extent but we are continuing to

:13:29.:13:32.

punch well above our weight. It will be some months before the adding up

:13:33.:13:37.

is down and an accurate picture of how Wales summer 2016 has gone

:13:38.:13:41.

images. In the industry, they are already thinking ahead to the next

:13:42.:13:48.

tourist season. With me now is Mick Jackson, director of the Welsh

:13:49.:13:52.

mountain soon. We talk about the summer season is that the industry

:13:53.:13:55.

packs up and goes to bed in September but it isn't like that any

:13:56.:14:00.

more? Not at all, we are open 364 days a year. It is all about

:14:01.:14:05.

bringing people in all year round, it is very weather dependent in our

:14:06.:14:11.

case. It has been a mixed summer weather-wise. It certainly has, we

:14:12.:14:18.

had a disastrous Easter. The weather was bad. A few wash-out days since

:14:19.:14:22.

but what has been remarkable this year has been in between, when the

:14:23.:14:26.

sun has come out, we have been packed, heaving with visitors. We

:14:27.:14:31.

are a little behind last year but one really good bumper day and we

:14:32.:14:35.

will be up to last year's figures. So we are very pleased. Looking at

:14:36.:14:40.

what is happening in the industry as a whole, lots of changes, lots of

:14:41.:14:45.

adventure holidays and lots of all year round all weather attractions

:14:46.:14:51.

as well, is that the future? Definitely and part of our

:14:52.:14:54.

development programme as we look ahead here. We are looking to

:14:55.:14:58.

increase the number of undercover attractions that we have. Being

:14:59.:15:03.

fully aware that is the way to bring people in all weathers. It is the

:15:04.:15:07.

way a lot of attractions are going certainly in north Wales in the

:15:08.:15:11.

tourism trade. When you plan what you do here, are you planning next

:15:12.:15:17.

year already? We are. Over the years in the past, as we have developed,

:15:18.:15:26.

we have been a little hand to mouth. We are now able to plan a little

:15:27.:15:30.

further ahead in the future. We looking a few years ahead. Thank

:15:31.:15:36.

you. It is an all year round industry now. We will say goodbye to

:15:37.:15:40.

Genghis and his partner and their baby camel are inside.

:15:41.:15:47.

Thank you, it is a while since we have had a camel on the programme.

:15:48.:15:52.

25 years ago Ely in Cardiff erupted in riots.

:15:53.:15:56.

It all started over a row the sale of bread.

:15:57.:15:59.

And most of Wales turned out warm and sunny today.

:16:00.:16:01.

But what's in store for the start of September,

:16:02.:16:05.

I'll have the forecast in about ten minutes' time.

:16:06.:16:11.

We're all getting richer - but we're also working harder -

:16:12.:16:14.

at least that's according to research by Barclays Wealth -

:16:15.:16:18.

but Wales is still only two places from the bottom of the bank's 12

:16:19.:16:21.

The research also suggests that Cardiff is one of the fastest

:16:22.:16:26.

growing cities, in terms of the turnover from small

:16:27.:16:32.

Earlier I spoke to Professor of Entrepreneurship,

:16:33.:16:36.

Dylan Jones Evans, for his take on the figures.

:16:37.:16:39.

We have a thriving indigenous business population,

:16:40.:16:42.

not only those who are growing quickly but more importantly,

:16:43.:16:46.

many more companies setting up in all parts of Wales.

:16:47.:16:50.

So, yes, this, I think, reflects what is actually

:16:51.:16:53.

happening on the ground, not obviously through different

:16:54.:16:56.

parts of Wales but through the whole of Wales entirely.

:16:57.:16:59.

The big concern is perhaps there are two Welsh colonies,

:17:00.:17:02.

there is Cardiff which is doing rather well, thank you very much,

:17:03.:17:05.

small businesses flourishing in Cardiff, 12% up.

:17:06.:17:08.

People watching in Holyhead and Haverfordwest would suggest

:17:09.:17:13.

to you that perhaps it isn't as strong there.

:17:14.:17:16.

No and you are absolutely right and you can see now,

:17:17.:17:19.

Cardiff is growing in some areas at the same rate as London

:17:20.:17:23.

and that is to be obviously encouraged and applauded,

:17:24.:17:26.

We have seen for example the Swansea Bay city region,

:17:27.:17:32.

there was a strategy developed by Sir Terry Matthews and his team

:17:33.:17:35.

there that now has to be put into place to ensure that

:17:36.:17:39.

Swansea Bay and the west of Wales really benefits.

:17:40.:17:42.

And of course, I am here in North Wales today,

:17:43.:17:44.

and we have seen this demand that is really required

:17:45.:17:47.

here for a stronger infrastructure, to enable

:17:48.:17:50.

There are some fantastic new businesses and of course,

:17:51.:17:56.

Airbus here in North Wales, but it needs far more support

:17:57.:17:59.

and I think it is about time that rather than talking about putting

:18:00.:18:02.

an economic strategy into place for North Wales,

:18:03.:18:05.

one is actually implemented as soon as possible.

:18:06.:18:07.

This may be good or bad news on whether or not

:18:08.:18:10.

you love your job or not - we are all working

:18:11.:18:13.

We are working longer hours but if you are talking

:18:14.:18:18.

about an entrepreneurial economy, as we have seen now,

:18:19.:18:22.

a lot of the jobs that have been created are not by...

:18:23.:18:27.

It is great to have 5,000 new jobs by inward investors,

:18:28.:18:30.

but a lot of them are created by people getting

:18:31.:18:32.

off their backsides, setting up their new businesses

:18:33.:18:34.

and actually growing jobs in the economy.

:18:35.:18:36.

Those people will work long hours and they will put a lot of effort

:18:37.:18:40.

in but at the end of it, what we will create is a more

:18:41.:18:43.

entrepreneurial, innovative economy that will push Wales over the next

:18:44.:18:45.

few years even further up that league table.

:18:46.:18:47.

The site of the former Whitland Creamery could finally be

:18:48.:18:50.

developed after planning was granted this afternoon for 28 houses.

:18:51.:18:52.

Carmarthenshire Council's planning officers had recommended the plans

:18:53.:18:56.

be rejected - because the land has been reserved to

:18:57.:18:59.

But there was concern locally that the derelict site

:19:00.:19:04.

has become an eyesore. Jennifer Jones reports.

:19:05.:19:11.

Established in 1914, Whitland creamery grew to become the largest

:19:12.:19:16.

manufacturing creamery in Britain. But the operation came to an end in

:19:17.:19:21.

1994. The last buildings were demolished nine years later. The

:19:22.:19:27.

site is now derelict. Local people have long complained that the

:19:28.:19:29.

eyesore is detrimental to their town. Carmarthenshire Council says

:19:30.:19:35.

redevelopment is a firm objective. But the land is earmarked for

:19:36.:19:38.

employment and an application to build houses on the site was

:19:39.:19:43.

rejected in January. Planning officers had recommended a new

:19:44.:19:48.

application for 28 houses, also be rejected. But contrary to advise,

:19:49.:19:52.

those plans were approved this afternoon. It was just needed to be

:19:53.:19:58.

the right thing for Whitland to develop. There are lots of different

:19:59.:20:01.

ideas thrown about over the last 20 plus years. But I think now, just

:20:02.:20:08.

seeing the fact that no residents have quibbled about it, nobody put

:20:09.:20:15.

up any objection to extract the Nick it at all, I think it shows Whitland

:20:16.:20:21.

is ready for residential there. The planning committee members voted by

:20:22.:20:24.

eight to six to approve Whitland Green Park limited's plans. But they

:20:25.:20:29.

will have to explain the decision to go against their own advice before

:20:30.:20:31.

permission can be formally granted. 25 years ago - a Cardiff

:20:32.:20:33.

community hit the headlines - 175 police officers were called

:20:34.:20:36.

to Ely to quell the disturbances. Unemployment, racism -

:20:37.:20:42.

even the hot weather were all cited Compared to riots in some English

:20:43.:20:46.

cities it was fairly low-key - but according to some who still live

:20:47.:20:52.

on the sprawling estate today, Ely's reputation was tarnished

:20:53.:20:54.

and still hasn't recovered - The four hot summer nights back in

:20:55.:21:10.

1991, some streets in Ely became a battlefield. Riot police pelted

:21:11.:21:15.

bottles, slates and stones and a crowd of up to 500 people. It all

:21:16.:21:21.

began between a shopkeeper and his Wilson wrote neighbour over the

:21:22.:21:24.

right to sell bread in their respective shops. It quickly

:21:25.:21:26.

escalated into violence and vandalism. Some of them were up on

:21:27.:21:32.

the roofs and breaking tiles, I think it was more frustration

:21:33.:21:36.

because... I don't really know what was on their mind to be honest,

:21:37.:21:41.

because it was just over a loaf of bread. It just blew out of

:21:42.:21:47.

proportion. A terrible time? It was, they were coming from all over the

:21:48.:21:53.

country. And you were next door? Yes, they were coming in and masses

:21:54.:21:57.

of them from London, different parts of the country. It was a bit crazy.

:21:58.:22:03.

25 years on and nothing remains of the shops in the centre of this

:22:04.:22:07.

riot. What does remain according to many in the community is a tarnished

:22:08.:22:12.

reputation that refuses to go away. 20 people were jailed and promises

:22:13.:22:16.

were made to help the estate. We will try to build in more work, that

:22:17.:22:21.

was the biggest mistake made when Ely was constructed. No work was

:22:22.:22:26.

transferred into the area. To match the population that was transferred

:22:27.:22:29.

into the area and that should've been done. It is difficult to find

:22:30.:22:34.

the land to do it now but if we can, we should, even now. Some believe

:22:35.:22:38.

things are no better two and a half decades on. I fear for the young

:22:39.:22:43.

ones growing up around this area and thinking it is OK to have an

:22:44.:22:48.

argument and the next best thing is for gangs and violence, knives and

:22:49.:22:51.

guns and stuff like this and it is getting worse and it will get worse

:22:52.:22:56.

and there is no education. None is going in the school and speaking

:22:57.:23:01.

about the situations in the streets. We had riot police here and the

:23:02.:23:05.

rioters were down there. This couple lived through the riots and they

:23:06.:23:09.

live a charity on the estate and they hope the area will now have a

:23:10.:23:13.

brighter future. This is where the riots took place 25 years ago. You

:23:14.:23:21.

can see, it has been left, only recently but we have worked with the

:23:22.:23:25.

Council and we have finally got plans drawn up for this site. The

:23:26.:23:31.

community spirit is really strong so when we finally get this belt, I

:23:32.:23:35.

think it will be the end, we can finally put it to rest. The rights

:23:36.:23:41.

were blown out of perspective. It was made such a big deal. The site

:23:42.:23:46.

of the old shop in the road has become wasteland, a dumping ground,

:23:47.:23:50.

but now it is about to be transformed and many people hope the

:23:51.:23:55.

notoriety the disorder of the town will change for the better.

Football - and Cardiff City captain, David Marshall's move

:23:59.:24:00.

The Bluebirds wouldn't confirm the fee -

:24:01.:24:06.

rumoured to be ?5 million - but said the move to

the Premier League club was subject to international clearance.

A giant model crocodile has been installed

:24:34.:24:37.

on the barrage in Cardiff Bay - as part of celebrations to mark 100

:24:38.:24:40.

The 12-metre long croc is inspired by the book, The Enormous Crocodile,

:24:41.:24:47.

and was made by the same firm that made the rugby ball featured

:24:48.:24:50.

on Cardiff Castle during last year's World Cup.

:24:51.:24:54.

The big beast of the weather world now. You might be biting my hand off

:24:55.:24:59.

after hearing the forecast today. Today turned out warm and sunny

:25:00.:25:13.

across much of the country. Blue sky in Tonypandy with a high of 24

:25:14.:25:18.

Celsius in Cardiff. It hasn't been sunny everywhere, parts of the north

:25:19.:25:22.

and west in cloud. Little change this evening. Cloud will increase, a

:25:23.:25:30.

couple of showers likely around midnight into the early hours. Some

:25:31.:25:34.

rain in the north and west late in the night. Milder than last night

:25:35.:25:39.

and breezy in the north west machine peninsula. Tomorrow shows a cold

:25:40.:25:45.

front coming through Wales. It will move eastwards during the day

:25:46.:25:48.

followed by fresh air from the Atlantic. This is the story for 8am.

:25:49.:25:56.

A little rain in the marches and Welshpool. The moderate bursts of

:25:57.:26:02.

rain in Gwynedd and Ceredigion. Hopefully brightening up in

:26:03.:26:05.

Pembrokeshire. During the morning, a little rain will spread eastwards

:26:06.:26:09.

and clear and then it will dry and brighten up, sunny spells tomorrow

:26:10.:26:13.

afternoon and most places dry, just a couple of showers. A bit fresher

:26:14.:26:21.

than today. A west south-westerly breeze. Rain first thing on Anglesey

:26:22.:26:27.

that will clear and the sun will come out. On the Gower tomorrow,

:26:28.:26:32.

light rain in the morning and that will clear the sunny spells and a

:26:33.:26:37.

westerly breeze. Thursday is fine and settled but cloud increasing

:26:38.:26:40.

during the afternoon and maybe a few showers in mid and north Wales later

:26:41.:26:45.

on. Freshening winds in the west and north west. Friday will see a spell

:26:46.:26:50.

of rain most places, followed by drier and brighter weather and on

:26:51.:26:54.

Saturday, the low pressure bringing some unsettled, wet and breezy

:26:55.:26:59.

conditions, followed by clear weather and showers. Sunday is dry

:27:00.:27:02.

for awhile but the signs are it won't last.

:27:03.:27:10.

The American technology giant Apple has been ordered to pay billions of

:27:11.:27:16.

pounds in back tax to the Irish government. It is said the Irish

:27:17.:27:21.

government gave Apple illegal tax benefits. Both parties say they will

:27:22.:27:25.

appeal. The First Minister Carwyn Jones says that following the Brexit

:27:26.:27:29.

vote, Wales needs to be sold as a world like never before. He has also

:27:30.:27:33.

called for the UK to continue to have access to the single market. I

:27:34.:27:38.

will have an update for you at eight and again after the BBC News at

:27:39.:27:40.
