Thursday to Thursday night. Cooler for all by the end of the week. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight's top stories: Changing the political landscape of Wales - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
the number of Welsh MPs could be cut by a quarter from 40 to 29. | :00:08. | :00:19. | |
I don't agree with that. I think Westminster is the place for Welsh | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
MPs. I would probably cut the Welsh Assembly. | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
So is cutting the number of MPs long overdue - or will the voice of Wales | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Wales sees the biggest drop in applications to medical school | :00:33. | :00:47. | |
in the UK - tonight worries about the impact on the NHS. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
One of the things I would like to see in the future is maybe a new | :00:51. | :01:04. | |
medical schools serving areas such as North Wales, mid Wales and other | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
areas. 50 years after Aberfan, the American | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
photographer who captured This is what is means to win gold - | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Brecon's Rob Davies and Hollie Arnold crowned | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Paralympic champions. The political landscape of Wales | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
could be about to change. Proposals to redraw our constituency | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
boundaries could see Wales lose more than a quarter of our MPs, | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
in the biggest shake up Wales' current 40 MPs | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
would be reduced. Under the new proposals | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
from the Boundary Commission, The reason is to try and make | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
all our parliamentary constituencies more or less equal in size - | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
just over 71,000 voters. In a moment, we'll gauge what impact | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
all this could have on Wales, and get reaction live | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
from Westminster. First, here's how a redesigned | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Wales could look. Over the years, the way we report on | :02:09. | :02:38. | |
elections has changed. We will bring you all the latest | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
developments... But as we have modernised the shape | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
and size of our constituencies have stayed largely the same. These | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
proposals by the Boundary Commission at the biggest change to the Welsh | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
electoral map for more than 70 years. There are some major changes. | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
Among them, Anglesey. It would no longer be an island constituency and | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
will include Bangoura and Caernarfon. -- anger and Caernarfon. | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
Across to the sparsely populated areas of mid Wales, they could see | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
huge rural constituencies. Brecon and Radnorshire, for example, could | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
be augmented by Montgomery. South Pembrokeshire would become one | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
constituency while North Pembrokeshire would become part of | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Ceredigion. South Wales's constituencies look to be intact. | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
But nowhere remains unchanged. Notably the Vale of Glamorgan, which | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
would be split into to. These are just lines on a map. These changes | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
could have far-reaching political repercussions. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
The aim is to reduce the numbers coming here. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
How that's done will have a huge impact on all parts of Wales. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
It won't come as a surprise that large rural constituencies in Wales | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
are considered to be too sparsely populated. | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
But even the densely populated constituencies of the valleys | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
and cities are considered to have too few voters. | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
In fact, there's only one existing seat in Wales which is big enough | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
to bring it in line with the rest of the UK. | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
But keeping everyone happy won't be easy. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
It's something the Boundary Commission is all too aware of, | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
and has been trying to maintain a sense of community | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
There are some areas where we have probably created more disruption | :04:32. | :04:45. | |
than in other areas. Places like the Vale of Glamorgan and in North | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
Wales, we are anticipating receiving feedback in those areas. We want to | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
hear what people say to see if we can improve. | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
No decisions can be taken in isolation. If the constituencies in | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
the South Wales valleys largely remain intact, there are not gones | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
for Cardiff. Four become three. And Penarth would become part of the | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Vale of Glamorgan. Trouble is, the veil becomes too big, so the plan | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
would be to split it into to. Penarth would be come part of a new | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
seat in the east. And in the west of the Vale of Glamorgan, a new | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
constituency would incorporate the town of Bridgend. This is where the | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
political dynamic could change. Bridgend is currently a relatively | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
safe Labour seat. Under these changes, the Conservatives could | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
pose more of a challenge. I think Westminster is the place for our | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Welsh MPs. I would probably cut the Welsh Assembly. MPs seemed to be | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
career politicians. If there were a lesser number of seats, there would | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
be more competition for those seats. We may get a better calibre of MP. | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
Now that Brexit has happened, I think maybe we need to keep our MPs. | :06:14. | :06:22. | |
Too many politicians trying to have different opinions. They are all | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
fighting. The less there is, the better. The changes could lead to | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
some interesting bouts in the future. | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
Among them, a Conservative head to head in Pembrokeshire | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
between Stephen Crabb and Simon Hart. | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
And in Cardiff between Labour's Jo Stevens | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
It is their party which is likely to be hardest-hit Mac | :06:39. | :06:50. | |
today we are seeing the number of MPs cut by more than a quarter. That | :06:51. | :06:59. | |
does create a concern about the influence of Wales. It could have an | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
impact on some MPs. There will always be people complaining. This | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
is slightly different in that it reduces overall the numbers of | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Parliament. I don't see many members of the public weeping over the fact | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
that? Of us will lose our jobs. Are we looking at a welcome cut to | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
the cost of politics, or a worrying reduction of Welsh voices at | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
Westminster? I am at Westminster with two of the | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
MPs are affected, Glyn Davies and Jo Stevens. Take away a quarter of | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Welsh MPs, you lose the voice of Wales at Westminster? I don't think | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
that will be the case. We have 29 members of Parliament. Clearly it is | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
a big reduction. We were overrepresented before. We have the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
Welsh Assembly. I think that aspect is entirely reasonable. Jo Stevens, | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
we are overrepresented? I don't think we are. This has been done on | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
a flawed electoral register. We have disappearing Dave Baxter Whitney and | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
a House of Lords behind is stuffed with another 260 unelected peers. | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
The whole rationale for this exercise is it will save money. It | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
is not. We are losing 73 members of the European Parliament. We do not | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
need to reduce the number of MPs by 50. Welsh MPs represent fewer people | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
than English MPs. It is right they should represent roughly equal | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
numbers? I agree with equal sized constituencies but do it properly on | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
the basis of proper electoral registration numbers. There are 7 | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
million people who are not registered. If you are going to | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
revolutionise representation, make it more democratic, have automatic | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
registration and do it properly on population numbers. You say you are | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
heartbroken by the way the Boundary Commission has divided your | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
constituency. Why is that? I have represented Montgomeryshire for 40 | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
years. It is being demolished. I am bound to be heartbroken. It is a | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
consequence of the act that has gone through. It is very difficult. I | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
hope there will be ways of ameliorating that. That is why I am | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
having some sympathy with the Boundary Commission. They want to | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
change their minds before they come back. I hope the final report will | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
be more to my liking. MPs will ultimately have to vote and if you | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
are a member of government you will have to vote for it? I don't think | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
any member has doubled the government before their | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
constituency. A lot can change. The Boundary Commission have two more | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
stabs at this. We may never get there. It would be unwise media to | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
take up a definitive position two years before one has to decide. You | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
may face a fight with a colleague to get selected? Yes. I don't want to | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
be in that position and neither does my colleague. David Cameron put this | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
in place and left us to add, leaving a disaster behind him. It is | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
fiddling while Rome burns. We do not need to do it. If I put money on it, | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
I don't think it will go through. Thank you both. Thank you. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
A two-year-old from Flintshire who died after a fireplace fell | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
on him, has been named locally as Malaki Hughes. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Emergency services were called to the little boy's home in Saltney, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
The toddler was taken to the Countess of Chester Hospital, | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Neil Hamilton, the leader of Ukip in the Assembly, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
has been condemned after describing Welsh Labour's electoral | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Mr Hamilton said Labour would "suffer | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
a holocaust" by losing Welsh seats at the next general | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
Labour AM Joyce Watson urged him to consider what the word | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
holocaust really means, in particular to Jewish families. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
It's been a golden day for Welsh athletes competing | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
Hollie Arnold from Ystrad Mynach won gold in her javelin event, | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
breaking the world record twice in the process. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
In the table tennis, Rob Davies from Brecon | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
beat his South Korean opponent to be crowned Paralympic champion. | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
There he is. The new Paralympic champion. This is what it means to | :11:26. | :11:43. | |
win Paralympic gold. Formerly a semiprofessional rugby player, Rob | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Davies took up power table tennis after an accident left him with a | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
damaged spinal-cord. He has become world number one. In Rio he was | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
chasing his first Paralympic title. He had faced days of testing | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
matches, but in the end it was a comfortable victory over his Korean | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
opponent. Four of the 12 strong Paralympic GB team our Welsh. -- I | :12:07. | :12:13. | |
was. Rob Davies was cheering him on the crowd. Meanwhile, in the Olympic | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
Stadium Hollie Arnold was chasing her first Paralympic title. From the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
off she made her mark, a world record-breaking throw on her second | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
attempt. But she left the best till last. A throw of 43 metres. Her | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
proud parents celebrating a famous win. Welsh athletes have so far | :12:37. | :12:46. | |
added six medals to Paralympic GB's tally. Four Golds, a bronze and a | :12:47. | :12:56. | |
silver last night in the mixed team event in archery. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
I spoke to my family before and after. My little brothers are more | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
impressed. I am famous because my name comes up on Google. | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
That is what they have realised. Yesterday's big Welsh story came | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
from Aled Davies, the bear from Bridgend. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
I came here to execute a process and we have done that and taken home the | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
medal I wanted. The pressure on your shoulders was enormous, the weight | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
of expectation huge. Talk to me about coping with that and then | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
performing at the highest level? I remember coming off the podium in | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
London and thinking, that is it, I can never lose again. Every | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
conversation I have been in ever since, they have put the gold medal | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
around my neck. I am my own worst enemy. I was put the pressure on | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
myself. I do not want anything less than | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
gold. A gold rush in Rio with plenty of other medal hopes in action in | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
the coming days. Much more to come | :14:00. | :14:00. | |
before seven o'clock. 50 years after Aberfan, | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the American photographer who captured the community on camera | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
and children in schools across the country | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
celebrate the centenary The number of students from Wales | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
applying to study medicine has fallen by 15% over the last five | :14:10. | :14:24. | |
years - with a particularly sharp It's the biggest drop anywhere | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
in the UK, and there are concerns it could deepen recruitment | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
problems in the Welsh NHS. The warning comes as a documentary | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
series begins tonight on S4C, following students | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
at Cardiff University Cardiff is the most popular medical | :14:41. | :14:55. | |
School in the UK. Training to become the doctors of tomorrow on one of | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
the most demanding but rewarding courses in the UK. 3000 per year in | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
-- apply to come here, but only one in ten get accepted. One of the | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
stars of the new series is Ainsley Richards from mumbles. She has just | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
started her fourth year. Why do you want to become a medic and why did | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
you want to stay in Wales? I have competed internationally had a | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
number of sports since I was 13. I remember going to training with my | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
dad and just thinking, why is my body adapting like this? Also, | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
choosing Cardiff, it was a no-brainer, really. I read about the | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
sea 21 course and it is completely different to other courses I have | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
read about. Ainsley wants to stay in Wales when she qualifies and that | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
would be welcomed. There is a big shortage of doctors in some parts of | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
the country. There are big worries that fewer in Wales are applying to | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
do medicine in the first place. That is 100 fewer than five years | :15:58. | :16:28. | |
ago, a 15% drop. The largest of any UK country. | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
Everybody will understand that medical schools are competitive | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
environments. We want the best graduates to come from Cardiff. All | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
applicants to Cardiff should be treated equally, with places offered | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
on the basis of ability and potential. But some have called for | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the Welsh government to introduce quotas, guaranteeing places for | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
applicants from Wales. It is a controversial idea. Asher came from | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
north London to study in Cardiff. I wouldn't be here if that was the | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
case. I am very much of the belief that it should be on people's | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
merits, whatever the processes. If that is how they deem you to be a | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
better doctor, then the best students should be selected. I would | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
like to see an increasing the number of medical students in Wales. If we | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
are thinking about improving the nature of the primary workforce and | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
practitioners, we should have more students and we can put them nearer | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
where patients are in areas where it is difficult to recruit. ?350 | :17:33. | :17:43. | |
million supporting 15,000 wanted to work in health care is spent in | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
Wales every year. Many of these students will end up working in the | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Welsh NHS. But the question is, will it be enough? | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
Celebrations have been held across the world, | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
to mark 100 years since Roald Dahl was born in Cardiff. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
The author is well known for his Norwegian and English connections. | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
But in this centenary year, there's been a concerted | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
effort to highlight Wales as Dahl's place of birth, | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
and a formative influence on his imagination. | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
It is Willy Wonka's chocolate factory at the school hall. This | :18:15. | :18:32. | |
school was transformed as monstrous villains and magnificent heroes came | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
together to celebrate 100 years since the birth of one of the | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
greatest storytellers ever. His books have been the bedrock of | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
countless childhoods, with millions of copies sold having been | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
translated into 59 languages. He has a good imagination. The pictures are | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
really good and his books are funny. I like Matilda. It is wonderful to | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
have all the powers she has. How many books have you read of his? All | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
of them. Which is your favourite? I don't know. It is hard to say what | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
is your favourite out of all the books. Darryl's Welsh connections | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
are marked by a series of blue plaques. This was outside the house | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
where he was born. This is where the young author bought his sweets from | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
Mrs Cratchit, the shopkeeper. This elaboration -- illustration on the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
front of his autobiography shows the time he put a mouse in the sweets. | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
That led to a caning. If I sit on a hard seat for two ours, I begin to | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
feel my heart actually beating along the stripes on my bottom where they | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
were. But the Welsh influence is not just confined to Cardiff. He was a | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
fan of the poet, Dylan Thomas. You can see that in the place where both | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
literary greats produced their magic. | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
He realised he had to have a space of his own in the garden away from | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
the children and the noise and the general domesticity. And he | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
remembered that Dylan Thomas had felt the same. And so he went down | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
to Wales to look at Dylan's writing hot. And like everybody, I think | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
probably fell in love with it. Although his Norwegian and English | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
connections are well-known, the part Wales played in the right's | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
imagination was the topic of a collection of essays published by a | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
number of academics. -- writer's. He was born in Wales, | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
went to school in Wales. The fingerprints of Wales might be there | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
in work. We might think about the ways in which Wales is kind of | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
imprinted, quietly, silently, almost invisibly in his work. | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
26 years after his death, the magic and wonder of his creations | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
continue, especially here in his city and country of birth. | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
Geraint Thomas. Next month will mark 50 years | :21:17. | :21:17. | |
since the Aberfan disaster. 116 children and 28 adults killed | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
when a coal tip slid onto Pantglas School | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
and houses in 1966. A few days later an American | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
photographer Chuck Rapoport arrived. His images form part | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
of a new exhibition in Merthyr Tydfil, but also led | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
to life-long friendships. White? Why did I live and my brother | :21:36. | :21:55. | |
died? School boy Ronnie Davies was trying to make sense of something | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
nobody can really comprehend. Here he is showing a photographer from | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
America where his school used to be. He came to me to say something and I | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
said, I think God has a plan for you and kept your life. After the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
disaster many children were kept indoors. The fear was that the site | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
of survivors playing in the street might upset others, those who had | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
lost sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, entire families, parents, like | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
John Collins. He lost both his boys and his wife. And as if that wasn't | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
enough, he lost his home. If he had said, don't take my picture, his | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
whole life would've been different. His picture round in life magazine. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
An American woman saw the picture she was so moved by the story, she | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
got in touch. They had a romance and they married. His daughter from that | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
marriage contacted me in 2010, to tell me that my photograph, that she | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
is alive and living because of my photograph. And that he had a life | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
and he had happiness again. This was the first wedding after the | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
disaster. Denise and going. My dad was only a | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
minor. He could not afford a professional photographer. When this | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
guy turned up and said he wanted to give us an album and make beautiful | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
photographs, we said yes. He came over just to take photographs. But | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
he made an impact on our lives and we made an impact on his. The story | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
seems to keep riding new chapters, if that makes sense. You took stills | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
in a moment in time but other things have happened? Yes, it is an ongoing | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
story, some of which cannot be photographed. The most important | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
story of my life. The latest exhibition is now open in Merthyr | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Tydfil at the red house. It runs until the 29th of October, exactly | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
50 years to the day he first arrived in Wales. | :24:06. | :24:06. | |
And there'll be comprehensive coverage of the 50th anniversary | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
commemorations of Aberfan across the BBC next month. | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
Tonight's weather forecast now here's Lucy Martin. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
Thank you and good evening on what has been the hottest day of the year | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
so far across the UK and the warmest September temperature recorded since | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
1911. Parts of Kent have seen temperatures reaching a maximum of | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
34 Celsius. A different story in Wales, where temperatures have | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
peaked at 23 degrees. Plenty in the way of patchy showers. And also | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
quite a lot in the way of low cloud. You can see where the temperature | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
split is from where the clouds sit. The good news is as we move into | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
tomorrow, we will see plenty in the way of sunny spells. We will see | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
slightly warmer temperatures as well. First of all though, looking | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
at this evening, showers clearing to the north-west. By midnight, a | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
largely dry night, with temperatures falling to 14 to 19 Celsius. A few | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
mist and fog patches developing first thing. A mild start tomorrow. | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
Mist and fog around first thing. That should clear up quite readily. | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
Then we see decent sunny spells. Temperatures should be quite warm. A | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
maximum of 25 Celsius. We could see 2627 in the south-west. As we move | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
into Thursday, we will see plenty in the way of cloud. Again, a mild | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
night, with temperatures in the upper teens. We will see more mist | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
and fog. We will see a mild start on Thursday. Through the day we should | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
see sunny spells developing. And again, well, not again, on Thursday, | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
the risk of the odd isolated shower. Those temperatures back to 25 | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
degrees. By the time we get to Friday, I think we will see a | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
slightly fresher feel to the weather. Temperatures reaching a | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
maximum of 16 or 17 degrees. I leave you with the Outlook. The warmest | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
day of the week tomorrow. Fresher towards the weekend. | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
The number of Welsh MPs could be cut by more than a quarter, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
if plans to redraw constituency boundaries go ahead. | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
The number of Welsh seats in the House of Commons would fall | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
from 40 to 29, in a bid to make sure all constituencies have | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
We will have 29 members of Parliament. It is a big reduction. | :26:37. | :26:51. | |
We were overrepresented before and we have the Assembly in place. I | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
think that aspect is entirely reasonable. I have a great love for | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Montgomeryshire. It has been completely demolished. I am bound to | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
be pretty heartbroken. This exercise is being done on a flawed electoral | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
register rather than population size. We have David Cameron | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
disappearing to Whitney and the House of Lords stuffed with another | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
260 unelected peers at a cost of 30 million quid. The rationale is it | :27:21. | :27:21. | |
will save money. It is not. Our political editor, Nick Servini, | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
will join Carl Roberts to answer all your questions | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
about those changes to our constituencies, | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
on the BBC Wales News Facebook page I'll have an update for you here | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
at eight o'clock and again That's Wales Today, | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
thank you for watching. From all of us on the programme, | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
good evening. | :27:39. | :27:43. |
