Claire Griffiths' 5th and final Paralympics | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
A father and son whose family business sold dangerous | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
teeth-whitening products at the Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd - | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
and across the UK - are starting a prison | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
The judge described the venture, run by John Hargreaves | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
and his son Matthew, as 'a sophisticated well | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
organised operation, which risked the health | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
Good morning. What's your name? When Powys Trading Standards raided the | :01:45. | :02:00. | |
Hargreaves luxury home two years ago. Tonight, 69-year-old John | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
Hargreaves and his 49-year-old son Matthew had been sentenced for | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
selling cheap wine with 110 times the limit of the legal limit of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
hydrogen peroxide. It started to come undone at the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
Royal Welsh show when they began to sell teeth whitening products from a | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
stand. -- cheap teeth whitening products. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
This post as customers and bought some of the goods, they were tested | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
and shocked by results. The store was raided and goods | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
seized. They were trading selling products which were over 6% hydrogen | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
peroxide, which really means that they could be harmful for anybody | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
using the products. Our investigation demonstrated that they | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
were active at 150 sites throughout the UK. They were trading for at | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
least eight years. Ruth Clements from Dorset wanted whiter teeth so | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
she bought one of the home whitening kits from a stall at the show which | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
cost her ?30. She told a BBC programme that she took it home but | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
after putting it in her mouth, she had to take it out almost | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
immediately. My gums began to burn after a very short time. A tingling | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
sensation which was most uncomfortable, and soon became | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
painful. My gums were actually on fire. Teeth whitening is a popular | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
and modern way of lightning teeth which is used extensively in the | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
UK... Professor Alan Gilmour is a | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
consultant in district -- dentistry in Cardiff, he realises | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
that teeth whitening is becoming more popular but is concerned as to | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
how it is done. Safety is paramount and materials | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
used need to be able to cause minimal or no harm, and affect | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
whitening. Unfortunately, some materials at the wrong concentration | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
or the wrong material themselves can cause sensitivity, sometimes | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
extreme, and cause gums to be burned around the teeth. The judge said | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
upon sentencing that this was a sophisticated and well organised | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
family operation that was thoroughly dishonest, risking the health of the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
general public for a highly lucrative business. He sentenced | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
Jonathan and Matthew Hargreaves to 18 months in prison each, Jean | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Hargreaves received a six-month suspended sentence. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
An Iranian man, living in Cardiff, has been sentenced for illegally | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
helping asylum seekers into the country - | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
It's the first case of its kind dealt with by the Regional Organised | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Cardiff Crown Court heard that 32 year old Mostafa Rabeh Lalaikah | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
helped 4 Iranian women and 2 children enter the UK - | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
in what was described as a carefully organised enterprise, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
where people were exploited for substantial gain. | :04:46. | :04:46. | |
He was sentenced to 38 months in jail. | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
If we are serious on addressing this problem, I think we need to continue | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
to develop whatever information is available and look | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
for information to get us to a point where we can | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
identify these people and stamp this form of criminality out totally. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
To make Wales a hostile area for individuals | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
who want to engage in | :05:08. | :05:08. | |
A 43 year old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
Emergency services were called to Cardiff Road in the town centre | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
A 61 year old man was taken to the University Hospital of Wales | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
where he is said to be in a stable condition. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
A former Anglesey councillor has been jailed for 18 months | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
for endangering aircraft - by shining a powerful torch | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
66 year old John Arthur Jones had become obsessed with repeated | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
night-time low-flying exercises close to his house. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
The judge described him as arrogant and said his actions | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
Earlier this afternoon, Diane James was appointed UKIP leader - | :05:49. | :05:58. | |
And Neil Hamilton, who leads UKIP's group in the Assembly here has | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Infighting has already seen the party's leader | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
in Wales, Nathan Gill, decide to sit as an independent | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
The party's conference is underway in Bournemouth and our | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
political reporter Cemlyn Davies is there. | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Yes, Diane James is already making her mark, just a couple of hours | :06:18. | :06:31. | |
after she took over as leader, this new revised agenda was distributed. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
The first thing we noticed was that Ukip's assembly group leader in | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Cardiff Bay, Neil Hamilton, who was done to speak tomorrow, has been | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
replaced by Ukip's leader in Wales Nathan Gill. | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
We know that there are tensions between the two men and did a couple | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
of minutes I will be getting Neil Hamilton's reaction but this is yet | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
another example of a deep division within Ukip. | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
Bournemouth basked in glorious September sunshine today, perfect | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
weather for the post EU referendum party Ukip had planned. And there | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
were celebrations here. Cakes too. But there is no denying this is also | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
a deeply divided party, especially in Wales where the knives have long | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
been out, having been turning his back on the party, | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
Nathan Gill was conspicuous by his absence at the Wales delegations | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
conference stand. Instead he was showing support for | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Diane James, the party 's new leader, who took questions later | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
from journalists. May I ask about the situation in Wales and how you | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
plan to heal a deeply divided party in Wales with Nathan Gill sitting as | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
an independent member. Nathan Gill has my 100% support. He's been a | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
very, very valued member. CLAPPING In European Parliament. I trust him | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
100% entirely in terms of his views and commitment to Ukip. I believe | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
that she will now be able to professionalise on many different | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
levels way needs to be done. She is pro-sorting out the NEC which is | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
something that has to happen for us as well as a party internally. And I | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
think that she's got a very big vision and it is the exact vision | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
that I had for the party as well. This leadership race has further | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
exposed the deep split within Ukip between those like Nathan Gill who | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
believe the party should continue with Nigel Farage's approach, and | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
those who feel it is time to change direction. | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
Although today grassroots members from Wales from both wings of the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
party were keen to look to the future. At the end of the day, we | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
all have to be united and obviously Diane is now our leader and we had | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
to support her. I'm delighted that Diane James has won today. I think | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
that she can review build upon the success and either ship that Nigel | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
Farage has had -- rebuild. So that we can become successful | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
opposition. Away from the conference, a former | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
aide to Nigel Farage who continues to work for Nathan Gill has said | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
that she has joined the Conservative. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
We have these divisions which are executing people with talent, that | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
is not what he party needs going forward. The environment is probably | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
the worst in Ukip, they are not able to profit from those big electoral | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
gains. Despite successes this year, Ukip faces challenges and the new | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
leader has significant rebuilding work to do. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Ahead of next year 's local elections. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
I am now joined by Neil Hamilton. Mr Hamilton committee did not support | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Diane James in this leadership race. You are not speaking tomorrow now. | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
How do you feel this evening? It is very perplexing, I think, that on | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
behalf of Wales to hear from someone not a member of Ukip rather than the | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
leader of the Ukip group in the assembly. Nathan at McGill is still | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
the leader, isn't it right that he speaks? | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
To be a leader you need followers, I've been democratically elected as | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
the leader of the group in the assembly but it is up to Diane James | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
as to who she hears from. Had she thinks it is too exciting | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
and needs a sedative? Nathan Gill has Diane James's unequivocal | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
support, are you worried about what it could mean for you and your | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
position in the assembly, for example? I was voted by the Ukip | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
members in the whole of Wales. As the lead candidate in West Wales. I | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
was elected by the people of West Wales as assembly member and was | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
elected by the group of assembly members as the | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
Leader. None of that will change and giving Nathan a title without | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
substance attached to it will make no difference at all. You spoken | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
today about needing to lend factionalism in Ukip at the moment, | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
you don't sound like a man prepared to compromise or play a part in | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
uniting the party. That is exactly what I want to do | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
but I do not think this helps, for no reason at all, I've not actually | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
been informed the agenda has changed tomorrow officially. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
To be taken off the speaker's list and for my slot to be given to | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
someone who isn't even a member of the assembly. What do you think the | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
future holds for Ukip in Wales and Nathan Gill? I've no idea what the | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
future holds for him, we have to wait for the conclusion into the | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
investigation into allegations that he is misused his expenses. | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
They are allegations. Yes, they are, but we continue to work hard in the | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
semi and fighting council elections next year in a positive frame of | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
mind. Thank you. Back to you, Lucy, from Bournemouth. -- work hard in | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
the elections. Should we have more of a say | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
in the treatment and care Well a new campaign called | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Choosing Wisely Wales - wants to encourage a more equal | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
relationship between medical It comes amid concerns that up | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
to twenty percent of NHS treatments 'do no good' - | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
or might even cause harm. Here's our Health | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Correspondent, Owain Clarke. Use plenty of it, | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
a generation or two of germs The traditional view of the Doctor | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
and patient relationship. Doctor Finlay knew best, | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
his patients needed The TV series is showing its age, | :12:45. | :12:46. | |
but its attitude hasn't It's interesting that some | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
conditions that come over from England to work in Wales have | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
said that Welsh patients are that little bit more passive, | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
though not quite so He's leading a new campaign to try | :12:58. | :12:58. | |
and get us to take more control of decisions | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
about our own care, but why? Where there is decision-making, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
patients feel greater ownership of that decision and are keen | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
to follow it through. It tends to been more in keeping | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
with their needs and experiences While training for the London | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
Marathon, she noticed she was lacking energy | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
and her heartbeat was a regular. she was lacking energy | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
as her heartbeat was irregular. After discussing all of the options | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
with a specialist, she decided to have a pacemaker mainly | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
because it meant she I don't have the symptoms I had | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
at all now, I hardly In fact, some of my friends | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
are a bit jealous. They think I've got some | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
kind of advantage now, But equally it is argued that | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
patients will be less likely to want treatment if they understand it | :13:51. | :13:59. | |
will not make much difference. It is estimated around 20% of tests | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and treatments carried out One example where more is not | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
necessarily better is in There's almost this belief growing | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
that an MRI scan will provide The key element is about having | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
the confidence to keep So we are all being encouraged, | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
when discussing treatment options, Second, what are the benefits | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
and harms? And lastly, what can I do | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
to help myself? Through taking more exercise | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
or living more healthily? So what do the patients | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
here in Prestatyn think? When you go to the doctor | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
you are looking for a solution If I've got an opinion, I'll | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
tell him. I used to have a doctor years ago - | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
you walked into his office. He never looked up, he'd be | :14:56. | :15:06. | |
writing everything down. A cigarette in one hand, | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
and he'd say "sit You'd say yes, he'd say give it up, | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
and he's there puffing away! So that wasn't | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
a relationship really? And then he said, how long do | :15:16. | :15:16. | |
you want a sick note for? He didn't even know | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
why I'd gone there! The Choosing Wisely Wales | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
campaign concedes that some will think that this | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
is all about cutting costs. Others ask, can this work | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
when patients usually get no more But what is clear is that compared | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
to the days of Doctor Finlay, The question is, does | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
it always need to? Disappointed, yet proud - | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Newport's Claire Griffiths denied bronze in her 5th | :15:39. | :15:50. | |
and final paralympics. Preparations for Cardiff to become | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
the City of the Unexpected - It was established in the aftermath | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
of the BSE crisis to help support local producers - | :15:57. | :16:07. | |
and 17 years on the Abergavenny Food Festival has grown | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
into an international event - attracting chefs like | :16:10. | :16:11. | |
Raymond Blanc and Rick Stein. It opens tomorrow and tens | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
of thousands of visitors But some local traders in the town | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
claim they're being They say they've been told to close | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
for the weekend to make room for the event - | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
without compensation. Sights, sounds and tastes of an | :16:29. | :16:43. | |
international food Festival. For 17 years, Abergavenny has played host | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
to producers, chefs, critics and visitors from across the world, an | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
event that is flying high like the art installation the organisers | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
helped pay for. But market traders will have to | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
close over the weekend to make room for all of those visitors. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
This business has been in Robert's family for two generations. We are | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
all small businesses here, it's difficult enough as it is but to | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
lose two days has a big impact. When you lose half of a week 's wages you | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
don't see other councillors losing their wage packages, they will still | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
get paid. Other businesses have applied for one of 300 stalls at the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
festival itself, they cost hundreds of pounds though. This bakery says | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
it is worth it. You can encourage people back to the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
business in the market in future. No reason why it cannot work on both | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
sides. I don't know why people don't want the festival to come, they just | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
want people to stop and give them a thought. The issue was only brought | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
while retention yesterday and sadly it's too late for us to be involved. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
So next year, perhaps compensation or a different arrangement? I think | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
that we would have to look at making sure these people have a good | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
arrangement next year. Contractually, the issue is with mum | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
and share council -- Monmouthshire. But we have to put these issues out. | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
Robert received a token amount in compensation last year for lost | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
trade, but no sign this year. I asked the council if they had spoken | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
to some of the traders here about their concerns, about perhaps | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
offering some sort of compensation for losing their pitch here this | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
weekend. I also asked if the council received money from the food | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Festival this year as rent for this building. But I was told there was | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
no one available for interview and the council had no information to | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
act. Millions of pounds of spending | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
power, some local businesses hoping for some thing slightly different | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
next year though, to make them feel better. | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
Time for tonight's Sport - here's Tomos. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
The Rio Paralympics enters its final weekend - | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
Welsh athletes have so far contributed a total of 6 medals | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Tonight, Claire Griffiths from Newport is part of GB | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
Women's most successful Wheelchair Basketball side | :19:06. | :19:06. | |
just missed out on a bronze medal - she said this will be her | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
Disappointed yet proud. Newport's Clare Griffiths helped the GB | :19:10. | :19:27. | |
women's basketball team to their first appearance in a bronze medal | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
match. But they lost to the Netherlands earlier, missing out on | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
a medal. When a member of the Paralympics GB team wins a medal | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
they are brought to British house to speak to the world's media. So far, | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
six athletes have stepped onto the balcony for round after round of | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
interviews in Welsh. There were gold medals for Rachel Morris, Hollie | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
Arnold in javelin, table tennis player Rob Davis, and shot put | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
Geordie Shore. One of the youngest Welsh | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
competitors of the games, 19-year-old Sabrina Fortune, claimed | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
a shot put bronze. It was a really good performance, a | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
couple of chances still to come, but I think we would all say it has been | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
a successful games for Welsh athletes. When it comes to sport, it | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
has been a golden games, the best ever in terms of medals for | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
Paralympics GB. The build-up they was branded a mess | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
by the International Paralympic Committee. The games organisers | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Brazil were plagued by financial problems. With everything going on, | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
my expectations were so low. To be fair though, it's been really good. | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Such a nice place. It would never beat London, London was phenomenal. | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
But, for what it was, it was pretty special. My highlight was a la John | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
Davies in the shot put which was remarkable. This man has been out | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
here seven weeks volunteering as a Riojas met Angel, helping the | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
athletes and spectators. It's been fun, everyone enjoying | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
each other's company and sharing achievement and stories. With two | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
days left, matching the 14 medals won by Welsh competitors at London | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
2012 looks unlikely, but the Rio games have provided some memorable | :21:26. | :21:26. | |
moments for athletes from Wales. Rugby - and the Scarlets face Ulster | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
tonight in the Pro12 after losing their two opening games | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
of the season. That match live on Scrum V Live | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
over BBC Wales at 7. Elsewhere tonight Wales | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
captain Sam Warburton will start his first | :21:47. | :21:47. | |
competitive game of the season when Cardiff Blues | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
host Glasgow Warriors. Both sides so unbeaten | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
in the Pro 12. Football - and Swansea City's Neil | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Taylor could be left out of the team The Wales international | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
was substituted before half-time last weekend as manager | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
Francesco Guidolin changed Record signing Borja Baston | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
could be on the bench after a thigh injury which has delayed his debut | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
since a 15 million pound move and Non Stanford from Swansea | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
are competing at the Triathlon World Series Grand Final | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
in Mexico this weekend. Stanford, who finished | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
4th at the Olympics, says she's considering taking part | :22:27. | :22:27. | |
in 2 events at the The former World Champion wants | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
to compete in the triathlon and in the 10,000 | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
meters on the track. I might look at doing some track, | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
they have not released qualifying times yet or the timetables to see | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
if it would be possible to double up on both events. It interests me, it | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
is a different challenge. Normally the grand final is the biggest race | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
of the year but for us it was three or four weeks ago. It's not as big | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
as Rio, definitely! But I'm just happy to be here and see what my | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
body can produce on the day. See how they get on on the BBC | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Red Button and Online Roald Dahl's centenary celebrations | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
will continue this weekend, with Cardiff being transported | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
into the "City of the Unexpected". Organisers remain tight-lipped | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
about the detailed arrangements, but they say it will be the biggest | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
arts event ever to happen on the streets of the capital, | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
with thousands of artists and performers contributing | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
to the spectacle. Our reporter Geraint Thomas had | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
a look behind the scenes. It has been two years in the making, | :23:30. | :23:44. | |
the pages of Roald Dahl's books will come to life on the streets of | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Cardiff this weekend in an event on the scale rarely seen in Wales. | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
Around 6000 performers have been rehearsing to take part in the | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
weekends events, including 2000 choristers, 1000 dancers, four brass | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
bands and 40 bald men! These amateur performers will be taking part in | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
one of over 75 spectacles staged across the centre of the capital | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
after responding to an advert searching for hairless volunteers. I | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
thought the question was quite interesting, are you a bald man? | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
I've always been a fan of Roald Dahl, I'm half Swedish so the | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Scandinavian and Welsh connections were intriguing. | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
I love Roald Dahl, I thought he was amazing. Great, I love Cardiff. I | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
want to be part of something amazing for Cardiff. It is so far out of our | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
comfort zones, I think we had to say yes to it. It would be like Roald | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
Dahl is up there in the heavens with a control of logic and the city and | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
traffic and the people... Nigel Jamieson has directed many | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
world-famous large-scale events, including the Sydney Olympic opening | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
ceremony. This National Theatre Wales and Wales millennium Centre | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
collaboration is his latest project. Although the budget of course is | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
nothing like the opening ceremonies, but I've been involved in in the | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
past, in terms of sheer scale of time and energy and ideas, it is | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
certainly, I think, one of the biggest things I've been involved | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
in. I don't think any city has ever attempted anything like this. It | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
really is a first. Don't forget we are counting down Wales's favourite | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
Roald Dahl characters... Familiar faces and voices will be taking part | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
in the weekend events. But, the exact details are being | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
kept tightly under wraps. I never read Roald Dahl as a child, but | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
thankfully because of the centenary celebrations, Roald Dahl has come | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
into our home. But I'm not quite sure if I'm allowed to tell you what | :25:50. | :25:51. | |
I'm doing. But if I don't say a word, I'm not | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
spoiling anything! If you are in Cardiff, over Sunday, come over and | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
see us at the castle. Some of Cardiff's they miss lummox will be | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
transformed this weekend. For flash mobs to giant fruit to | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
pyjama parties and pillow fights, the city of the unexpected aims to | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
inspire visitors in Cardiff with Roald Dahl magic on the streets of | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
the city that made him. Looks fantastic - | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
but will the weather perform? Sue hoping for dry in Cardiff this | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
weekend? After the humidity | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
of the last few days - feeling much fresher | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
as we head into the weekend, fairly settled with some | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
decent sunny spells - Although rain is likely | :26:36. | :26:36. | |
later on Sunday. Tonight's fairly quiet - | :26:37. | :26:50. | |
the odd shower, otherwise clear dry spells - | :26:51. | :26:51. | |
some cloud around - and slightly cooler | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
than recent nights - High pressure builds | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
from the SW into the weekend, keeping things settled - | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
although this Atlantic low will start to push | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
in later on Sunday. So a chillier start tomorrow - | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
we swap the humidity for fresher, fine and settled weather with some | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
decent sunny spells, variable amounts of cloud - | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
it should stay dry for most with a cooler northerly breeze - | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
16C in Conwy - 19 in Cardiff - temperatures back where they should | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
be for mid-September. It stays clear tomorrow night - | :27:17. | :27:18. | |
but this cold front will arrive Fine on Saturday evening, | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
dry and quiet tomorrow night - and under those clearer skies | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
temperatures will drop away - lower than of late, 7-13C, | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
cooler in the countryside. A dry but chilly start to Sunday - | :27:33. | :27:35. | |
sunny spells in the morning - but turning a bit cloudier | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
from the west, with the threat of rain heading in later - | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
reaching Anglesey and Pembs So we lose the humidity | :27:42. | :27:43. | |
of the last few days - then we're in for a cooler, | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
fresher weekend. More typical autumnal | :27:48. | :27:49. | |
conditions to come next week. Finally today's picture, | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
taken by one of our I will be back with a quick update | :27:52. | :28:07. | |
at eight o'clock, but from all of us on the programme, good evening and a | :28:08. | :28:08. | |
great weekend. | :28:09. | :28:11. |
