Welcome to Wales Today. Our headlines tonight:

:00:18.:00:18.

The house near Carmarthen searched after the London terror attacks

:00:19.:00:20.

belongs to the mother of the man responsible.

:00:21.:00:22.

and a blow for Wales' world cup hopes tonight.

:00:23.:00:24.

A draw with Ireland and Bale and Taylor out of the next game.

:00:25.:00:31.

It's emerged that a house near Carmarthen searched

:00:32.:00:35.

after the London Terror attacks belongs to the mother

:00:36.:00:38.

Police say the search is now over and the mother and stepfather

:00:39.:00:45.

of Khalid Masood are not being treated as suspects.

:00:46.:00:47.

Earlier this evening, a candlelit vigil was held

:00:48.:00:53.

outside the Senedd, to remember those who died.

:00:54.:00:55.

Officers have been guarding the property of Janet

:00:56.:01:05.

and Philip Ajoa in Trelech since the search by the Wales

:01:06.:01:08.

counterterrorism unit, alongside Dyfed-Powys Police.

:01:09.:01:11.

It is understood specialist officers went to the rural

:01:12.:01:13.

farmhouse in the early hours of yesterday morning.

:01:14.:01:16.

There were also raids in London and Birmingham.

:01:17.:01:21.

I would like to appeal specifically to the public,

:01:22.:01:25.

we remain keen to hear from anyone...

:01:26.:01:27.

Anybody who understands who his associates were,

:01:28.:01:38.

anyone who can provide information about the places

:01:39.:01:40.

It is believed that Janet Ajao is the mother of Khaled Masood,

:01:41.:01:44.

born as Adrian Russell Elms, later Adrian Russell Ajoa, the man

:01:45.:01:47.

responsible for the terrorist attack in Westminster on Wednesday

:01:48.:01:51.

afternoon, which killed five people and 50 people injured.

:01:52.:01:55.

Janet and Philip Ajoa have lived at this property on the outskirts

:01:56.:01:58.

We have been told that they moved to the area from Tunbridge Wells

:01:59.:02:03.

and were private people who lived a quiet life here.

:02:04.:02:06.

It is understood Janet kept a rare breed of sheep

:02:07.:02:09.

We have been told that Philip Ajoa is being treated for cancer.

:02:10.:02:13.

Local people have told us they weren't in contact

:02:14.:02:16.

with their son and he had not been seen in the area.

:02:17.:02:19.

Officers from Dyfed-Powys Police have been at

:02:20.:02:20.

this isolated property all night.

:02:21.:02:25.

They say that the search has now been completed and the occupants

:02:26.:02:28.

They also say they are receiving the appropriate support.

:02:29.:02:35.

We were initially made aware of the situation

:02:36.:02:37.

late yesterday afternoon, that the Metropolitan Police

:02:38.:02:42.

were investigating somewhere in Carmarthenshire.

:02:43.:02:44.

However, little did we know then that it was right on our doorsteps.

:02:45.:02:47.

We found out late last night that it was just actually outside

:02:48.:02:51.

the village of Trelech where the investigation

:02:52.:02:52.

At first it was a great shock, but as the day has gone on today,

:02:53.:03:01.

I think there is a great feeling of sympathy amongst

:03:02.:03:04.

the neighbourhood and the surrounding area

:03:05.:03:05.

Dyfed-Powys Police have emphasised that there is no threat to the local

:03:06.:03:13.

area and nobody has been arrested following the search.

:03:14.:03:19.

The man who killed Cerys Yemm at the Sirhowy Arms

:03:20.:03:24.

in Argoed, in 2014 had months earlier,

:03:25.:03:25.

allegedly sent letters from prison threatening to kill people,

:03:26.:03:28.

A police officer told the court, the letters gave him serious

:03:29.:03:32.

concern for the mental wellbeing of Matthew Williams,

:03:33.:03:34.

and were sent to the Crown Prosecution Service.

:03:35.:03:37.

But it was decided not to prosecute because there wasn't enough

:03:38.:03:40.

evidence to prove the letters were from him.

:03:41.:03:46.

The North Wales businesswoman, Stephanie Booth,

:03:47.:03:48.

was crushed to death by a tractor she was using to cut grass at her

:03:49.:03:53.

home in Denbighshire, last year, an inquest has heard.

:03:54.:03:57.

The 70-year-old was well known for the TV series

:03:58.:04:00.

"Hotel Stephanie", as well as an unsuccessful bid

:04:01.:04:02.

The coroner recorded a conclusion of accidental death.

:04:03.:04:06.

Labour will find it tough to avoid losses in May's local elections,

:04:07.:04:09.

The party now leads 12 out of Wales' 22 councils.

:04:10.:04:17.

Speaking during a visit to the Deeside Industrial estate

:04:18.:04:20.

ahead of Welsh Labour's conference in Llandudno,

:04:21.:04:21.

he said it would not be sensible to pretend

:04:22.:04:23.

things are good at Westminster for the party.

:04:24.:04:29.

It is difficult in Westminster,

:04:30.:04:30.

but this is not an election in Westminster.

:04:31.:04:35.

This is Welsh Labour in local elections for the people of Wales.

:04:36.:04:38.

And we will be saying, you look at what is being delivered

:04:39.:04:42.

on your doorstep you will see good delivery by Labour councils

:04:43.:04:44.

So you need to vote in more Labour councillors.

:04:45.:04:52.

increasingly remote of qualifying for the World Cup look

:04:53.:04:56.

after a goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland.

:04:57.:04:58.

It was a fourth successive draw of the campaign

:04:59.:05:00.

We have ground to make up on the leaders and Wales needed a win at

:05:01.:05:15.

the Aviva Stadium. Defeat against the Irish would be unthinkable. I am

:05:16.:05:22.

very optimistic, to one, I think. It will bell like last year, 2-0, we

:05:23.:05:27.

will win. At home in the Aviva Stadium, we are not going to lose.

:05:28.:05:34.

The goalkeepers were not really tested in the match. Gareth Bale,

:05:35.:05:38.

booed by the home crowd, did not get into gear. Neil Taylor failed to

:05:39.:05:43.

control its course. Nothing to excite the 3000 travelling fans.

:05:44.:05:47.

Some of the challenges were uncompromising. Glenn Whelan seem to

:05:48.:05:52.

use his elbow on Joe Root Allen. Team-mates at Stoke, no love lost

:05:53.:05:56.

here. In the second half, there was more urgency from Wales. And after

:05:57.:06:03.

taking out John O'Shea whilst trying to score, Gareth Bale was booked. A

:06:04.:06:09.

second yellow card in this campaign means he will miss the match in

:06:10.:06:14.

Serbia, in June. And moments later Neil Taylor was sent off with the

:06:15.:06:18.

Ireland captain Seamus Coleman seemingly in real pain. With a

:06:19.:06:22.

one-man advantage Ireland were in top and came close to getting the

:06:23.:06:27.

opening goal. Wales climb on and it ended goalless. They made it

:06:28.:06:32.

difficult for us, I think. In the second half we played better and we

:06:33.:06:37.

had a lot more chances. Obviously we have the sending-off, but the boys

:06:38.:06:43.

played very hard and be played the last 20 with ten men and the point

:06:44.:06:50.

is good for them. At 11 against 11 you have got the chance. It was a

:06:51.:06:54.

tough place to come tonight. The crowd got right behind them. And

:06:55.:06:58.

when we went down to ten men, we really had to dig in. I think we did

:06:59.:07:02.

that. And it was a good point for us. A frustrating night for Wales.

:07:03.:07:08.

They have not closed the gap on the group leaders. With Serbia beating

:07:09.:07:12.

Georgia tonight they now top the group. Wales had to Belgrade in

:07:13.:07:17.

June, but a tough task made more difficult as Gareth Bale will miss

:07:18.:07:19.

that game, because of suspension. Rugby and in the Pro 12 -

:07:20.:07:23.

a convincing win for the Scarlets at home to

:07:24.:07:25.

to Edinburgh tonight. Two tries from Rhys Patchell helped

:07:26.:07:27.

them to a 26-10 victory. Not such a good night

:07:28.:07:30.

for the Dragons. The weekend weather forecast

:07:31.:07:32.

now - here's Derek. If you enjoyed today's Sunshine,

:07:33.:07:48.

there's plenty more fine weather and sunshine to come over

:07:49.:07:51.

the weekend, But for gardeners, watch

:07:52.:07:53.

out for Jack Frost. It'll be quite cold, particularly in

:07:54.:08:09.

mid Wales and North Wales, with some frost and some mist and fog forming.

:08:10.:08:17.

Tomorrow morning looking drive. That fog will gradually lift and

:08:18.:08:20.

disappear leaving blue sky and spring sunshine. Across the rest of

:08:21.:08:26.

the UK, a similar story. Fog patches in England will disappear. Many

:08:27.:08:30.

areas bright and sunny. The exception, the far northern

:08:31.:08:36.

Scotland. There, with a little rain in Shetland. Light winds and breezy

:08:37.:08:41.

in the south. The top temperature around 15 Celsius. Cooler on the

:08:42.:08:46.

east coast at around nine Celsius in Cromer. In Wales tomorrow fine and

:08:47.:08:50.

sunny, with a beautiful afternoon. Warmer than today as well. We could

:08:51.:08:56.

see 15 Celsius in Porthmadog. Still breezy in the south. Fine and dry in

:08:57.:09:04.

the evening, the sky clear, so it will turn quite cold with frost

:09:05.:09:08.

likely in parts of mid Wales and North Wales. And on Sunday more dry

:09:09.:09:12.

weather, sunny morning, with cloud spreading from the east during the

:09:13.:09:16.

afternoon. Top temperature around 14, 15 Celsius and an east the

:09:17.:09:22.

north-easterly breeze. High pressure keeping things dry over the weekend.

:09:23.:09:25.

Dry on Monday as well and into Tuesday. Beyond that, signs of a

:09:26.:09:31.

change, becoming more unsettled with some rain and showers and a wind is

:09:32.:09:35.

picking up, but with selfless of westerly winds next week

:09:36.:09:38.

temperatures will remain above average. Before I go, don't forget,

:09:39.:09:44.

the clocks go forward one hour on Saturday night. There was more on

:09:54.:09:57.

weekend. From all of us on the programme, good night.
