Our top stories: After one of the biggest railway engineering | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
upgrades in a generation, a warning that we need more | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
investment to meet passenger demand over the next decade. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
First day back in work, not noticed any issues today. It was better | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
today. A little bit late but getting back and forth to work over | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Christmas was difficult. Bird flu is confirmed in a domestic | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
flock in Carmarthenshire. Tonight, a surveillance zone | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
is in place to contain the outbreak. We're on Gower, once rock | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
solid Labour territory. Can the party regain once safe seats | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
from Tony Blair's era? The council thought to be the first | :00:37. | :00:44. | |
in the UK to have handed out more fines for litter | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
than for parking offences. And beavers haven't been seen | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
in our rivers for hundreds of years. A leading transport expert says | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Cardiff's Central Station urgently needs to expand if it s to cope | :00:56. | :01:18. | |
with predicted demand which could see passenger numbers | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
rise to 23 million a year. Professor Stuart Cole's comments | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
come on the day that the station saw the official opening | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
of a new platform, but he says as the Welsh capital continues | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
to grow its transport infrastructure It was back to work for commuters | :01:32. | :01:50. | |
today after the festive break. The train services themselves were back | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
on track after engineering and signalling works which have caused | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
delays over the past week. First day back in work and I've not noticed | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
any issues today. Little do better today. A little bit late getting | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
back and forth to work over Christmas was difficult. For some | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
passengers the first journey of the New Year terminated at a brand-new | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
platform at Cardiff Central. This is the new platform eight designed to | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
ease congestion. But with commuter numbers set to rise by 6% a year or | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
next decade many are saying at least two new platforms are needed. With | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
huge commercial developments and the construction right on the doorstep | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
of this transport hub thousands will be applied in the shiny new offices | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
and many of those extra workers will want to travel by train. At present | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
there are 30 million passengers expected to go through the stage | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
this year. I Twenty20 three that will have risen to 23 million. That | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
rate of growth requires and it banding station. If it not expanded | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
we will get the kind of queueing with pad in the past outside Cardiff | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
Central station and will have overcrowding on platforms. With room | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
to expand a short this book -- supplied redevelopment of this | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
brewery site could provide new platform space. Network Rail accept | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
new platforms are needed and are working to get it thundered. We are | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
working through options and the brewery is one of those options. We | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
don't know numbers of platforms but we have options and we're working to | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
see with the Welsh Government and with our customers to understand | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
what the capacity will be in the future. For passengers more pressing | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
demands is the cost of tickets which rose this week by nearly 2% in | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
Wales. That was less than the drug Britain but still prompted a | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
demonstration. We have seen a steady increase in fares year after year | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
and the trains get more crowded. All the investment into the railways is | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
actually public money. The latest improvements in Cardiff will make | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
things easier for the 265,000 passengers that currently use this | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
station every week. But the expansion in infrastructure may | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
struggle to keep pace with the expansion in passenger numbers. The | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
UK Government says it is delivering the biggest rail modernisation | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
programme for more than a century. Bird flu has been found | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
in a domestic flock of chickens The chief veterinary officer | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
for Wales confirmed the H5N8 strain of Avian flu was discovered | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
in a back yard in Pontyberem It's the same strain found | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
in a wild duck in Llanelli Our reporter Teleri Glyn Jones joins | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
us now from Pontyberem. The Chief Veterinary Officer | :04:39. | :04:57. | |
announced today the strain of bird flu that is H5N8 has been found in a | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
flock of chickens and ducks kept in a backyard here in Pontyberem in | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Carmarthenshire. The flock was killed today before confirmation | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
because there was a strong suspicion the birds were infected. Since then | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
a protection zone and a ten kilometres surveillance zone has | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
been set up around this area in order to stop the disease from | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Reading. It is this team strange -- strain found in a while to and | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Llanelli before Christmas and in turkeys on a farm in Lincolnshire | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
earlier in December. Shoppers will be concerned on hearing this. What | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
the advice following the discovery? The risk to public health from the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
virus itself is very low and the food standard agency has made it | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
clear there is no risk to food safety. Poultry products and eggs | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
are safe. However the chief vet has stressed that the keepers must be | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
responsible and they should practice the very highest standards of | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
bio-security. Even when birds are housed there is still a risk of | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
infection and vision avoid any contact with wild birds. Everything | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
should be disinfected and moving poultry should be kept to a minimum. | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
Organisers of Festival Number 6 in Portmeirion will pay | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Gwynedd Council ?8,000 in reimbursement costs. | :06:27. | :06:27. | |
The local authority helped out when the event's car park | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Council staff worked at Porthmadog leisure centre for two nights | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
when 200 people took refuge because their cars were stranded. | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
Work will begin this month to build an ?800 million waste incinerator | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
The incinerator, on Deeside Industrial Park, will burn up | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
to 200,000 tonnes a year of black bag waste, and create enough | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
The Welsh Government has put half a million pounds towards giving | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
children from deprived communities good meals during | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
The primary-school clubs will provide breakfast and lunch, | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
as well as activities and lessons about eating healthily. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Five councils in Wales already run similar schemes. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
Claims the Labour party is "too weak" to win a majority at the next | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
general election are "utter nonsense", according | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Jo Stevens was responding to a report by the left-leaning | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Fabian Society which said Labour has "no chance" of winning more | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
Well in the meantime, the incoming chair of Welsh Labour | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
has told BBC Wales the party won't make any headway | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Here's our political reporter, Cemlyn Davies. | :07:48. | :07:59. | |
The Gower constituency was always a rock-solid Labour fortress. The | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
party held the Parliamentary seat for more than 100 years before the | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Conservatives won it by just 27 votes two years ago. This is the | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
kind of area Labour will have to take back if it wants to win the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
next general election. But today's report says the party has no chance | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
of securing a majority in the Commons and it should look instead | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
to govern with the help of other left of centre parties. As it's done | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
in the Welsh assembly. We've got a long way to go. I'm not saying they | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
will never get in power but not in the next ten years. The problem lies | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
with Jeremy Corbyn. I just don't think he's the right leader. We will | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
have to wait and see. No chance whatsoever. We are well behind in | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
the opinion polls. We have a lot of ground to make up. But the important | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
thing is to realise that it can be done. What we need to do is not be | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
defeatist. We need to recognise that if we have the right policies and | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the right attitude and the right enthusiasm we can win the next | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
election. 20 years ago Labour knew all about winning seats. Here is the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
then leader Tony Blair campaigning in Cardiff, fortnight before his | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
party swept to victory winning 34 seats in Wales. That figure fell to | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
25 out of 42 years ago. Before Labour's couldn't leader was | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
elected. That can Jeremy Corbyn turn things around? The incoming chair of | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Welsh Labour told me this report is a fair reflection of the party at UK | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
level and he doesn't think Labour will make any headway and the Jeremy | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Corbyn. Others of course will disagree. It's overly pessimistic. | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
First of all we've got about 33% of the electorate to go for love not | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
turned out to vote. That is part of Jeremy Clarkson appeal. Can Labour | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
win an election in the Jeremy Corbyn? Yes. The New Year has | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
brought familiar questions and doubts for Labour. Make's local | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
elections will provide another test of the party's hopes. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Wrexham Council is thought to be the first in the UK to have | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
collected more fines for littering than parking offences. | :10:26. | :10:26. | |
More than 3,000 fixed penalty tickets were issued in the past six | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
months as part of the council's zero tolerance approach to litter. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Despite claims from critics that enforcement officers | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
are over-zealous, the authority says the aim is to keep Wrexham tidy. | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
Cleaning up the streets or dirty tricks? | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
Opinion is divided in Wrexham about the way the council chooses | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
Since last April it's employed Kingdom Environmental Protection | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
to issue ?75 fixed penalty notices to anyone seen dropping litter. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Dog fouling and discarded cigarette butts are the most common reasons | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
for the fines but some say the council's zero tolerance | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
It's happened to me. I open the packet and it was windy and the wind | :11:04. | :11:18. | |
took it out of my hand and the officer saw it and hit me with a ?75 | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
fine. It's good to keep the Tarantino and tidy but I have | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
watched them operating and they are hiding around corners waiting and | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
pouncing. 3,500 litter penalties have | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
been issued since April, raising three times as much | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
as parking fines. The council says the net income | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
from the fines is ?30,000 a year as not all are paid and the aim | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
is to keep the town tidy Litter is later whether it is dog | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
fouling or Bill receipts or cigarette litter or chewing gum. | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
It's all classed as litter under the act. If it is accidental we would | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
expect some lenience but officers have taken a zero tolerance approach | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
and I do believe the enforcement mechanisms we have in place is | :12:08. | :12:08. | |
working. The council is inviting tenders | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
for a two year extension Kevin Critchley runs Eagles Meadow | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
Shopping Centre in Wrexham. He says a gentler approach | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
to rubbish disposal has The suggestion on the guidelines and | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
the approach we take is to approach people and ask them will they pick | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
it up. Usually people say sorry I wasn't thinking and pick it up. We | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
also have done a lot of work where people have dropped litter and put | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
bins where the litter goes. Debate will continue over | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
whether the carrot or stick The council say there's never | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
an excuse to drop litter and facing Others believe that's just rubbish | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
and persistent offenders Still to come on tonight's programme | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
before 7.00pm: He's worked at some | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
of the biggest clubs in the world. Now, Paul Clement prepares | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
for the job of rescuing Swansea City And tributes to the man who founded | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
one of the country's They haven't been seen in our rivers | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
for hundreds of years but beavers could once again become | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
a common sight. Wildlife experts in Wales are hoping | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
to release ten beavers at an undisclosed location | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
in South Wales this year. In Scotland, beavers have been | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
successfully reintroduced and given From a distance this looks like | :13:37. | :13:56. | |
ordinary marshland but on closer inspection this enclosure is home to | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
a couple of beavers. It's a small project run in Machynlleth but we | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
could now be a step closer to seeing beavers in the wild here. Wildlife | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
trust Wales has applied to release ten beavers into the wild at an | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
undisclosed location somewhere in South Wales. It could happen as soon | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
as this year. We have a breeding pair we hope and they are getting on | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
really well. They are enclosed in now because beavers are not allowed | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
to live in Wales freed up until very soon hopefully. We are hoping our | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
kits might be part of the reintroduction programme. In | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Scotland following a five-year trial the government has given the species | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
protected Asus meaning they are back the good. In Devon couple of pairs | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
established there is hard kits last year. Beavers were native to Wales. | :14:45. | :14:54. | |
We are getting European beavers and bringing them over and we have to | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
make sure they are held in captivity to make sure they are healthy and | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
not going to spread any disease and make sure they are healthy animals. | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
But not everyone is happy. Farmers and anglers have raised concerns | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
beavers damaged the landscape and fish migration routes. The original | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
science we were prevented with suggested they wouldn't build dams | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
and travel very far but we now know that is not the case. The evidence | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
in Scotland is they can do considerable damage. The species | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
were handed to extinction here in the 16th century but a licence for | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
their release in the wild could mark a reversal in fortunes after an | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
absence for centuries. Natural Resources Wales said it would have | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
to consider the pact on existing wildlife and land use before making | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
a final decision. It's 40 years since Wales's first, | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
and only, national Welsh language Radio Cymru went on air | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
on January 3rd 1977. While it has a loyal listenership, | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
a fall in its audience over recent years has led to calls for a second | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
Welsh language station to be created But it's also facing challenges | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
from digital platforms, and the changing habits | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
of its listeners. Our arts and media correspondent | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
Huw Thomas reports. Since 1977 Radio Cymru has given a | :16:08. | :16:27. | |
voice to Welsh speaking Wales on the wireless. Over four decades its | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
focus on Welsh, music, news and information has survived, changing | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
tastes and fashions. And it's launched the careers of broadcasters | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
like Betty Georgiou has been with the station since it started and now | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
thinks this should be a second Radio Cymru channel. We wanted to prove we | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
were as good a broadcasters as those working through the medium of | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
endless. We've only got one service and it's not good enough really. We | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
should have two channels without a doubt. The future is the focus for | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
Betsan Powys who as editor has overseen experiments with temporary | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
digital stations and brought in new presenters. It's in response to | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
falling audience members with the total of noon every week dropping to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
just over 100,000. The challenge is can Radio Cymru change in the right | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
way and that the right times to ensure it still has an audience and | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
if it doesn't change then something is wrong. It should change but you | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
shouldn't underestimate the challenge of change at a time when | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
that core audience that has been so loyal to Radio Cymru for 40 years, | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
we should not forget them either. On a Radio Cymru has held its ground as | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
the only national Welsh language station and while some listeners | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
have trusted away the BBC has avoided introducing any radical | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
changes. But the language campaigners who first called for the | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
creation of Radio Cymru now want far greater choice and not all of it in | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
the hands of the BBC. The only Ansa is devolving broadcasting to Wales | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
because we know what we want and we know what we need and it's much more | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
than one radio station and on TV channel through the medium of Welsh. | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Celebrations in the studios today and plenty to shout about for a | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
station that has inspired other minority language radio services in | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
the UK and further afield. But change in technology and in the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
habits of listeners mean there are plenty of challenges ahead if Radio | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
Cymru is to thrive for another 40 years. | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
Football and the man tasked with reviving | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
the fortunes of Swansea City will watch his new side at Crystal | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Paul Clement, the former Bayern Munich assistant manager, | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal with the Swans who are bottom | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
The latter half of 2016 has been one to forget for Swansea City with just | :18:54. | :19:06. | |
three wins from 19 games. But New Year and a fresh start at the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
Liberty Stadium as Paul Clement becomes the club's third head coach | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
this season. I could have stayed at Bayern Munich but I've chosen to | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
come into a challenging situation and it excites me to do it. That's | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
the attitude I want the players to have. It's a big task but it can be | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
done. The most important thing is to focus on some of the smaller details | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
regarding performances. Having enjoyed modest success as a | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
non-league player it's as a culture that Paul Clement's area has | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
blossomed. He was appointed assistant manager at Chelsea by | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Carlo Ancelotti as they went on to win the Premier League. The pair | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
have also worked together at Paris St Germain and Real Madrid. They won | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
the Champions League there. This season they took over at Bayern | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
Munich. His sole job as a manager in his own right ended in | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
disappointment despite leading Derby County to play-off contention the | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
championship he was shown the door last fed here. Paul Clement was one | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
of the contenders for the top job there back in October when Bob | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
Bradley was appointed instead. He became the Premier League's first | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
American manager but Bradley fails to make an impact and Swansea City | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
remain rooted to the foot of the table, four points adrift of | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
relegation safety. But one former Swansea City player believes the new | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
head coach still has time to put things right. It's up to him now. He | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
has two identify what kind of way he wants to get in and the board and | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
the fans have got to get behind him. At the moment they are four points | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
away. A massive game tonight against Crystal Palace. If they win that | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
they are only one point away from getting out of trouble. No point | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
pushing the panic button yet. As fans gathered this morning ahead of | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
the journey for tonight's match many are hopeful that he is the man to | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
turn their season around. He is probably the one person who is | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
likely to take us back to the old way of playing. I am hopeful. What | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
we needed somebody give our boys confidence. We have got good players | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
but in any job if you lose your confidence it makes it harder. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Hopefully he will do something that Brendan Rodgers didn't bring us | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
glory. With the new head coach expected to be watching from the | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
stands at Selhurst Park tonight the players will be looking to impress | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
and the Swans faithful will be keeping everything crossed for an | :21:45. | :21:45. | |
important three points. Rugby and Wales' Taulupe Faletau | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
is a doubt for the start The number eight injured his knee | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
playing for Bath on Christmas Eve. He's expected to be out | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
for four to six weeks, meaning he could miss Wales' | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
Championship opener in Italy The founder of the race in Rhondda | :21:57. | :22:12. | |
Cynon Taff has died at the age of 91. Bernard Baldwin started the | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
event nearly 60 years ago as a tribute to a local athlete. It has | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
now grown to attract over 10,000 people and the support of some of | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
the biggest names in Welsh sport every New Year's Eve. The streets of | :22:24. | :22:37. | |
Mountain Ash every New Year's Eve. Spectators and runners in their | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
thousands, an event started as a tribute in 1958 by a local man, | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Bernard Baldwin. One athlete from the 20th century paying tribute to | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
one from the 1700s. Known as Guto Dafydd brand,. That is not a wealth | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
of information about him but if the story at his graveside are to be | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
believed he ran 12 miles in just 53 minutes before collapsing and dying | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
just 37 years old. Running legend and inspiration here. Torches | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
carried from the church where he is buried each year to multinational | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
way the race starts. The founder of the event will be remembered today | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
as he passed away peacefully in hospital. The fact that Sony people | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
come along to support the event, this year the race was full two | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
months before the night. People from all over the world come to run and | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
it's something we should be proud of. He has put mountain ash on the | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
map. We get people from America, Australia, all over Europe every | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
year. Bernard Baldwin started a tradition here six decades ago to | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
honour someone inspirational. The event he founded may well stand as | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
the tribute to him in future as well. Let's see what the weather has | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
in store. Derek has the forecast. We ve seen a contrast | :24:07. | :24:11. | |

a much colder night again. Temperatures falling as low as -5C | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
with a widespread hard frost. One or two freezing | :25:54. | :25:57. | |

like a yo-yo over the next few days. Tomorrow night the coldest | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
night of the week. The headlines. Britain's top | :26:46. | :26:58. | |
diplomat to the European Union has resigned. Sir Ivan Rogers leaves his | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
job weeks before the government is due to begin formal Brexit talks. He | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
found himself at the centre of a political storm recently when he | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
told ministers that trade deal could take up to ten years. Leave | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
campaigners accuse him of being unduly pessimistic. And a leading | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
