Work begins on the site of a large shopping | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
and leisure complex in Merthyr Tydfil with the hope | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Some of the cottages were being burned down. | :00:16. | :00:32. | |
There are calls for the Welsh Secretary to consider his position. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
One of Wales' leading heart surgeons calls for a ground-breaking | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
operation to be made routinely available on the NHS. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Picking up debris from drug use - the Cardiff community that claims | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
police aren't doing enough to tackle the sale of drugs. | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
The residents to worry for their children and the walkers. Everybody | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
is in danger. New Swansea City manager Bob Bradley | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
tells me it's a special club and he cannot wait for his first | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
game in charge. I go out of my way to make sure | :01:06. | :01:17. | |
players understand, come on, let's enjoy the moment and go for it. | :01:18. | :01:33. | |
It's been on the agenda for 20 years but work is now underway | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
on a ?40 million retail and leisure complex in Merthyr Tydfil. | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Trago Mills, which runs three stores in Cornwall and Devon, | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
says it'll create 1,000 jobs in construction and 400 | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
It was granted planning permission in 1999 but work has | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Here's our business correspondent Brian Meechan. | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
This was once an old brickworks, part of Merthyr Tydfil's industrial | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
past. On the Hill above the town, the retail park, home to many big | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
chains, work is starting on a less familiar name. This the new Trago | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Mills site. It sells everything from carpets to clothes. They have all | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
the brands, a typical retail Park, the pre-eminent retail Park in the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
valleys already. You will add our value proposition to it, I think it | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
is an offer that the shopping public will resist and it will put Merthyr | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
as a destination on the map. This is what it should look like but it has | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
been a long time coming. Merthyr council has tonight given the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
go-ahead to a ?20 million out of town development. Planning problems | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
and economic turmoil caused continued delays but now work is | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
finally underway. 1000 construction jobs will be created during the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
course of this project. ?21 million has already been spent in the local | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
economy and that includes 75 per cent of the steel that is being used | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
here coming from Port Talbot directly. It is the latest in a | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
series of big investments in Merthyr in recent years. In March, General | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
Dynamics opened its new plant in the town where it assembles and tests | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
the next generation of armoured vehicles, creating 250 jobs. And | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
more than 250 people are employed at an exhaust maker. Part of the | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
council strategy is to develop economic development and | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
regeneration. We have got a very strong team and they work with | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
manufacturers and retailers from start to finish. It really is a good | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
package we offer. The unemployment rate in Merthyr seems to bear that | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
out. In the last five years it has halved. That is still higher than | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
the current Welsh average though. There are concerns that the new | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
shopping development could attract people away from the town centre. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
This restaurant opened a year ago. The owners say it is thriving and | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
believe Trago Mills as to what the town has two offer. I think a lot | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
has been done by Merthyr Council, the college in the centre of town as | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
well, that is all creating excitement in the town itself. There | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
is a need for both a retail Park but also the town centre should be a | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
thriving hub as well. Trago Mills Reject any suggestions that its | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
plans will hurt shots in the town. Children here today were not even | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
born when this was first planned. But the council say this is a clear | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
sign that Merthyr is on the up. There are calls tonight | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
for the Welsh Secretary It comes after he claimed | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Plaid Cymru members may have broken the law to stop people who don't | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
speak Welsh from moving into areas where Welsh | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
is the dominant language. Alun Cairns made the comments | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
on the BBC's Question Time programme last night after he told Plaid | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
leader Leanne Wood that her party seemed to be open to immigration | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
into the UK, but not You absolutely know that we can | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
go to communities... The audioence will know as well | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
there are communities in Wales where there are nationalist | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
activists that take direct action It was not so long ago that some | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
of the cottages were Hang on, that was nothing to do | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
with Plaid Cymru. Our political correspondent | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Arwyn Jones is here. It started off as a discussion with | :05:45. | :05:58. | |
accusations that the Conservatives were making life difficult for | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
people moving into the UK to work and live as immigrants. Alun Cairns | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
turns that onto Plaid Cymru, accusing them in Welsh speaking | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
areas. He mentioned burning cottages, that is a reference to the | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
late 1970s and 1980s campaign, 30 odd years ago, holiday homes being | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
burned down as a backlash against wealthy English people buying second | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
homes in rural parts of Welsh Wales. Leanne Wood not happy that there was | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
an insinuation that Plaid Cymru members were involved in that. There | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
is no evidence to support any members of Plaid Cymru was involved. | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
Only one man has been convicted of being part of that campaign, member | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
of another group who were critical of Plaid Cymru. That is why we have | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
seen the Plaid Cymru leader in Westminster saying Alun Cairns | :06:53. | :06:53. | |
should consider his position. I think he should apologise | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
and consider whether he I am not calling on him to resign, | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
that is a matter for him, So has there been any reaction from | :06:59. | :07:10. | |
the Welsh Secretary today? I have spoken to his office and he has no | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
further comment to make. But for Plaid Cymru, the difficulty is, go | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
back ten or 15 years when they went through a rough patch. Some of their | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
councillors associated with a group who were accused of being | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
anti-English and racist. They worked very hard to shed that image of just | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
standing for Welsh communities, especially under Leanne Wood. I | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
think they are angry today not just because of the baseless accusations | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
but also it is a really touchy subject for Plaid Cymru. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
A pharmaceutical company in Flintshire is to close | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Parent company Quantum Pharma says NuPharm will cease trading | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
at Deeside Industrial Park by the end of December due | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
It says closure is the only viable option. | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
NuPharm makes products for the pharmaceutical | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
The cause of an oil spill which means 100,000 litres | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
of kerosene have leaked into a Carmarthenshire | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
The pipeline which carries Kerosene from Pembroke's Valero refinery | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
Valero say it's a complex operation and it could take days | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
Union leaders have met with bosses at Ford's plant in Bridgend. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
Len McLuskey, the General Secretary of Unite, says he impressed | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
upon the Ford team that their UK plants deserve a bright future. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
The site, which employs about 1,850 people, will cut production | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
of new petrol engines and investment at the plant. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
Heart surgery is amongst the most complex things the NHS does. | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
And recently surgeons in Cardiff became the first in Wales | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
to perform a ground breaking procedure which could help | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
But, as things stand, the surgery isn't routinely | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
But one of the country's leading heart surgeons has told this | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
programmes it's "essential" it should be. | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Our health correspondent Owain Clarke has this exclusive | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
report, which does contain images of a heart operation. | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
It's early morning but this surgical team at Wales' biggest | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
This elderly patient had been complaining about chest pains. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Doctors found out that one of the valves in his heart | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
It's quite a complicated thing to repare but with one of Wales' | :09:29. | :09:40. | |
most eminent heart surgeons in charge, you would not know it. | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
He is having an aortic valve replacement. | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
It should hopefully give him a better quality of life. | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Any type of heart surgery, by its very nature, can be really | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
But earlier on this year in the summer, the lead | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
surgeon here and her team managed to push the boundaries further | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
than ever before and perform a procedure that has never before | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Blood is pumped from the heart through a big blood | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
But if there is a weakness in its walls, it can begin to bulge. | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
burst, the consequences can be catastrophic. | :10:20. | :10:30. | |
Although it is rare, if any of the bulges | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
burst, the consequences can be catastrophic. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Previously repairing certain types of aneurysms would have needed | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
a patient to undergo two separate big operations. | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
We open the breastbone and once we have got the patient ready, | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
we basically stop the circulation and we opened the arch | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
of the aorta and we deploy this, this is how it looks when it | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
comes out of its package, we deploy it into the aorta | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
She carried out the procedure for the first time in Cardiff just | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
This patient had a 6.5 centimetre aneurysm which could | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
She has not been able to travel around so with this fix, | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
But you don't have to take the doctor's word for it. | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
She had a family history of heart problems. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
I would go to New Zealand every other year because my | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
I lost that but now I have had my operation I can go. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
The problem is, the operation, as things stand, is not | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
It only took place because there was a special request for funding. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
But the process of making those requests is long and drawn-out. | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
The alternative is to send a to Birmingham. | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
Especially with advanced screening, more of these are diagnosed, | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
so it is essential that we offer this as a service routinely and have | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
This team and the heart surgery unit in Cardiff can already boast | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
some of the best results anywhere in Britain. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
The hope is that soon they will be able to do even more, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
offering surgery that is right at the cutting edge. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
After helping Wales to a 2-2 draw against Austria, | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
Joe Allen is a major doubt for Sunday's qualifier | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
And marking 50 years since the Aberfan disaster - | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
new work by renowned composer Sir Karl Jenkins will be | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Residents of the Butetown area of Cardiff claim police aren't doing | :12:42. | :12:54. | |
enough to tackle the sale of drugs in their community. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
They say heroin and cannabis are openly sold in parks | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
and playgrounds and addicts are discarding dirty | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
Sandwiched between affluent Cardiff Bay and the city | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
centre is the old docks community of Butetown. | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Many who live here are becoming increasingly concerned that the area | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Community activists say heroin and cannabis is openly sold | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
and taken in very public places like parks and children's | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
Christian Wagstaff is so concerned by the problem that his morning | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
ritual now involves personally picking up the drugs debris | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
That is a spoon they use for burning. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
He coaches the local football team, AFC Butetown. | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Tiger Bay AFC also play here and there are fears that | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
a child or a player may be injured by needles lying in the grass. | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
I think it is only a matter of time before somebody has | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
I have had conversations with the council and police | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
and obviously nothing has been done, as you can see. | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
If you get a needlestick injury, you could get HIV or hepatitis, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
and obviously then you would be ineffective for life. | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
But it's not just needlestick injuries that people | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Some in the community are very angry because they say the police are not | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
doing enough to tackle the dealers that are supplying the drugs | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
We have got the biggest police station in the area | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
That is the long and short of the story and they are not | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
doing anything about it, as you seen today. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
Saeed Noor Ebrahim has lived in the area all his life | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
and believes more needs to be done to protect the public | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
from the drug dealers, users and the mess they leave behind. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
It's just getting out of hand at this current time. | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
The residents do worry for their children and walkers. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Everybody is in danger of the needles. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
We have got a number of hostels nearby and that might be an element | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
of it but it is just an issue that needs to be looked at thoroughly. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
We have had the Council come to clean a number of times | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Council staff were in the area today picking up litter. | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
Police are also aware of the problem. | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
PCO Will Barnett says he often patrols the park and finds | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
The citric acid is mixed with the heroin before they inject. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
It's an issue with kids playing football here. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
That's why we get rid of it as quick as we can. | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
South Wales Police say there is a zero tolerance to drug | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
dealers in Cardiff and say those who spread the misery | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
of addiction will be dealt with swiftly and robustly. | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
They say in the past couple of weeks alone, | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
officers have executed six drug warrants in the area which has | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
resulted in the seizure of crack cocaine and heroin with a street | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
But some residents believe more needs to be done to reclaim | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
the parks and public spaces for the community as a whole. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Time for the sport, and Claire's at the Liberty Stadium for us tonight. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
It's the first Pro 12 Welsh derby of the season. | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
Tonight, the Ospreys take on the Cardiff Blues. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
It should be a cracker with both teams focused on moving | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
First, the Liberty Stadium is of course also home | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
to Swansea City and the club's new manager Bob Bradley | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
has been getting used to his new surroundings. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
The 58-year-old American has been speaking for the first time today | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
and says he's hoping to create a special atmosphere at the club. | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
He is known as the no-nonsense, smooth-talking American. | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
Bob Bradley meeting the media today, seeming relaxed and keen | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
He believes Swansea is a special club. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
What I know is that when you have a club with a soul, | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
a club that has real passion and real supporters, | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
At 58, he is the first American ever to manage in the Premier League. | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
He started coaching at just 22 and his career has seen him | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
in charge of the United States and spells in Egypt, | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
He is fully aware of Swansea City's trademark passing style of play | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
but with the team having not won since the opening day of the season, | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
he later told me he knows the pressure will be on. | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
That ability to deliver a message and establish an identity | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
where every time you go on the field you go for it, you're not afraid, | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
you put your front foot forward, I like that kind of approach. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
I will go out of my way to make sure players understand, come on, | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
let's enjoy the moment and go for it. | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Swansea City press conferences attract a lot of media interest | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
these days and with American owners and now an American manager, | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
there is certainly a lot of curiosity from across the pond. | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
The feeling among the American soccer community is that this | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
appointment could be a breakthrough for the nation. | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
I have never seen somebody more fearless in the path, in the choices | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
From somebody who is obviously very close with him, | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
who looks up to him in every way, I could not be more proud. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
There could have been an awkward moment this afternoon. | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Former manager Francesco Guidolin spotted in the reception | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
of the hotel before Bradley was unveiled. | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
Thankfully they did not bump into each other. | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Hailing from New Jersey, Bob Bradley has got music in his blood. | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
His passion for Springsteen and Bowie has been well documented | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
so expect a dressing room with the rock music pumping. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Swansea City are accustomed to making interesting appointments. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Well, it's a busy week on the manager front. | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
Newport County have appointed Graham Westley as their new manager. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
The 48-year-old former Peterborough boss replaces Warren Feeney, | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
County are currently bottom of League Two. | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Wales boss Chris Coleman says he was proud of his side | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
following their draw against Austria last night. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
It was a below-par performance but Wales held on to salvage the draw. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Goal scorer Joe Allen is expected to miss Sunday's World Cup | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
The fans heading home having seen their side pick up a point. | :19:50. | :19:59. | |
Wales go into Sunday's game with Georgia still unbeaten. | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
Joe Allen, the scorer of Wales' opening goal. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
He left the field with a hamstring injury and will have a scan today. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
We would not gamble with any of the players because it is not | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
Joe belongs to Stoke City and we have to try and send him back | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Normally he scores tap-ins but it was a great one. | :20:25. | :20:34. | |
As we said before the game and in the last campaign, whoever | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
The manager said Wales started slowly and nervously. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Austria, who have not lost a competitive match here since 2012, | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
When we are not playing well, we know we have to dig deep | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
We are showing what a good team we are even when we are not playing | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
They were lucky to see this one go in. | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
But defensive mistakes allowed the hosts to salvage a point. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
Wales will be expected to get all three points in their next game. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
We prepare for every game exactly the same. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
We look at the other team and then it's all about what we do. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
If people say we are favourites, that's fine. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Despite what Chris Coleman described as a below-par performance, | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
Wales leave Vienna with a valuable point. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
They are overwhelming favourites to win on Sunday but Chris Coleman's | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Now, back to rugby, and the Ospreys welcome the Blues for the first | :21:30. | :21:40. | |
The Blues are the leading Welsh region. | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
Their defeat to Leinster last weekend, their first | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
The Ospreys have lost two on the trot. | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
Scrum V Live is over on BBC2 Wales at 7:30pm. | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
There's also coverage on BBC Radio Wales Sport from 7pm. | :22:10. | :22:27. | |
That is it from me. Back to you in the studio. | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
This month marks 50 years since the Aberfan disaster. | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
144 people died, most of them children, when a coal waste tip | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
slid down the mountain, engulfing Pantglas Junior School. | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
Over the coming weeks there will be many special events to mark | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
And tomorrow, a new choral work by renowned composer | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
Sir Karl Jenkins will be premiered at the Wales Millennium Centre, | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
There were hundreds of people trying to do their best, | :22:52. | :23:08. | |
Occasionally there would be a shout for people to be quiet, | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
and if there was a hint of a body somewhere, people were really | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
encouraged to carry on and to try and draw that child out of the tip. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
Half a century ago, the Reverend Milton Jenkins | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
witnessed the aftermath of the Aberfan disaster. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
His cousin's child, nine-year-old Dyfrig, | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
I shall never forget that day, that week. | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
I am still reminded of that terrible tragedy. | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
And I am still reminded of those hundreds of people | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
who were here during that time, helping, doing their very best, | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
to bring some of those children out from under the debris. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
In the work, Cantata Memoria, world renowned composer | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
Sir Karl Jenkins, tries to convey the experiences and emotions | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
It was hugely emotional, it was harrowing but paradoxically | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
The piece gets gradually more optimistic as it goes on. | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
How children love light is one line in it. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
And there is another dual theme going on, that of birdsong | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
It was said that there was no birdsong before | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
The work will be premiered tomorrow at the Wales Millennium Centre | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
in Cardiff, performed by Sinfonia Cymru as well as | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
a children's choir of 116, the number of children | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
There was an overwhelming sense of responsibility. | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
One is very aware of the sensitivity surrounding this and just hoping | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
that whatever we came up with was in some way... | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
That it will meet with the approval of the people of Aberfan. | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
The piece is a testament to the strength of the community | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
that rebuilt itself and fought for justice. | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
It remembers the tragedy but looks to the future 50 years after one | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
of the worst industrial disasters the world has ever seen. | :25:27. | :25:36. | |
And you can see highlights of tomorrow's concert on 'Aberfan - | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
Cantata Memoria', on S4C on Sunday night at 7:30pm. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
The weekend weather forecast now with Derek. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Hurricane Matthew is the big story on the other side of the Atlantic, | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
moving up the east coast of Florida today, towards the coast of Georgia | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
Closer to home, our weather is much quieter with high pressure | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
Now much of Wales has been cloudy today. | :26:07. | :26:16. | |
The cloud was thin enough to allow some brightness through. | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
A few holes in the cloud and it may turn a bit misty in places. | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
Lowest temperatures around 7 to 11 Celsius. | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure still over Scandinavia stopping | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
fronts over the Atlantic from reaching us. | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
So here's the picture for 8am in the morning. | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
A cloudy and misty start in places but dry. | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
Breaks in the cloud and some sunshine. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
Some bright spells and sunshine but some cloud in the mix as well. | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
I wouldn't rule out the odd shower but most places dry. | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
Top temperatures around 14 to 17 Celsius with lighter winds. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
In Gwynedd tomorrow, dry with clouds and sunshine. | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Mostly cloudy with a few bright intervals. | :27:05. | :27:12. | |
Tomorrow evening and night will be dry. | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
Cloud will come and go with perhaps the odd isolated shower. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
Clearer later in the night and chilly with the odd | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
Maybe a shower in the north-east in the late afternoon. | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
Temperatures average 13 to 15 Celsius. | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
In the sunshine it will feel very pleasant with a light breeze | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
If you're travelling to Cardiff for the football on Sunday, | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
the weather fine and dry with light winds. | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
Our next update is at 8pm and then again after the 10pm News. | :27:42. | :27:45. |
