:00:08. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to Wales Today. Guilty of misconduct. The
:00:11. > :00:21.social worker who failed to warn of a family about a boy in their care
:00:21. > :00:35.
:00:35. > :00:38.went on to sexually abused their Also tonight: Back to work after
:00:38. > :00:40.his disqualification - but fresh claims are made about the election
:00:40. > :00:43.guidance followed by Lib Dem Aled Roberts.
:00:43. > :00:45.She's one of Wales' most high- profile businesswomen and wanted to
:00:46. > :00:53.buy Wrexham Football Club - but tonight Stephanie Booth is forced
:00:54. > :00:56.to close part of her hotel chain. It is a new European and world
:00:56. > :01:04.record for Ellie Simmonds. Golden girl Ellie Simmonds shatters
:01:04. > :01:08.more records in the pool at the European Championships.
:01:08. > :01:11.And welcome to the west wing, the new home for contemporary art at
:01:11. > :01:18.the National Museum. It opens to the public at the weekend. You can
:01:18. > :01:20.see it first here. Good evening. He's one of the most
:01:20. > :01:23.outspoken critics of News International, the parent company
:01:23. > :01:26.of the News of the World. After today's announcement that the paper
:01:26. > :01:36.is to close, the Rhondda MP Chris Bryant says the latest development
:01:36. > :01:41.
:01:41. > :01:45.It is further evidence of the shambles surrounding the Liberal
:01:45. > :01:50.Democrats' procedures during the Assembly election campaign. One of
:01:50. > :01:54.the candidates ineligible was standing a seat they had no hope of
:01:54. > :01:58.winning. So that it might not have mattered too much. But another one
:01:58. > :02:01.was standing in Montgomerie Shire. It is a seat they held until the
:02:01. > :02:07.last Assembly election. He would have been disqualified by virtue of
:02:07. > :02:10.the fact he was a member of a promotion agency. If he had been
:02:10. > :02:14.elected and then disbarred, he would have been sent home and there
:02:15. > :02:18.would have been a by-election being held the right now. That is a close
:02:19. > :02:22.it came to having three out of five of their Assembly Members barred
:02:22. > :02:28.from this place. And this isn't the only development
:02:28. > :02:31.today, is it? And no, it is not. Last night, on another BBC
:02:31. > :02:39.political programme, a spokesman for the electoral commission cast
:02:39. > :02:47.doubt on the report by the standards officer, claiming I'd
:02:47. > :02:51.Robinson had received wrong advice from Electoral Commission. He said
:02:51. > :02:55.the place that Aled Roberts said he had visited had not been visited.
:02:55. > :03:00.The Standards Commissioner looked at it. He was what Aled Roberts had
:03:00. > :03:02.to say. The situation was one that had been dealt with in the
:03:02. > :03:07.investigations as far as I was concerned and the questions were
:03:07. > :03:12.put to me by the police. It was covered at length in my questioning.
:03:12. > :03:17.I didn't know what there was and why those comments had been made.
:03:17. > :03:19.Everybody thought the story was done and dusted after the boat to
:03:19. > :03:24.reinstate him yesterday. But it seems to keep running and running
:03:24. > :03:28.the stock that is right. Letters have been sent to the Presiding
:03:28. > :03:33.Officer today asking for a forensic examination both of the electoral
:03:33. > :03:39.commission was but computers and of Mr Roberts. He was one of the
:03:39. > :03:45.people calling for that, Ceredig JUN AM Elin Jones. For two parties
:03:46. > :03:49.whose credibility are at stake with this information, Aled Roberts and
:03:49. > :03:54.Electra Commission, I would hope that somehow both parties would
:03:54. > :03:58.want to establish the truth out of this matter, because currently
:03:58. > :04:03.there doesn't seem to be a truth. This afternoon, the Presiding
:04:03. > :04:09.Officer has written to all AMs indicating that she does not want
:04:09. > :04:19.to reopen the investigation. You can see more on this at 7:00pm on
:04:19. > :04:32.
:04:32. > :04:35.BBC Two Wales. A social worker from the Vale of Glamorgan has been
:04:35. > :04:37.found guilty of four charges of misconduct. Julian Swan placed a
:04:37. > :04:40.teenager with a history of sexually inappropriate behaviour with a
:04:40. > :04:47.family with two young children in 2008. The teenager went on to
:04:47. > :04:51.sexually abuse those children. I deeply regret the events that are
:04:51. > :04:54.read to me being here today. I have never sought to deny or diminish my
:04:54. > :04:58.responsibility for these events. There are two families involved,
:04:58. > :05:03.the family of the children and has sent my deepest apologies and
:05:03. > :05:09.sincerest regrets and the family that has been the perpetrator. His
:05:09. > :05:13.family are victims. I get on and move on with my life. It has been
:05:13. > :05:17.hanging over me for two and a half years and now I can move on.
:05:17. > :05:19.Foster family have already received an apology from the Vale of
:05:19. > :05:24.Glamorgan council after their two young children were subject to
:05:24. > :05:27.serious sexual assaults by the teenager, who ate agreed to Foster.
:05:27. > :05:31.They were not told he had a history of inappropriate behaviour towards
:05:31. > :05:35.children, it is claimed, because Julian Swan, the social worker for
:05:35. > :05:41.the teenager, didn't know him self. The hearing was told her Julian
:05:41. > :05:43.Swan had failed to read all of the teenager's files. He had they are
:05:43. > :05:46.to carry out an investigation forming one incident involving a
:05:46. > :05:51.girl at a hostel. Have we had failed to carry out a proper risk
:05:51. > :05:55.assessment on the teenager and so had failed to inform the Foster
:05:55. > :06:00.family of the risks they faced. At the teenager's court case, the
:06:00. > :06:03.family claimed they were not told that in 2004 allegations were made
:06:03. > :06:08.about the teenager being sexually inappropriate with a boy while on
:06:09. > :06:13.holiday with care staff. In 2005, he had admitted touching another
:06:13. > :06:17.young boys sexually while they were both living in a hostel. And in
:06:17. > :06:21.2008, he was caught sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a
:06:21. > :06:25.hostel. In the end, it was the teenager's father who alerted
:06:25. > :06:30.social services to the fact that there have been previous incidents
:06:30. > :06:34.which showed he posed a risk. When social workers looked, it took them
:06:34. > :06:39.just 45 minutes to find the relevant report from 2002. The
:06:39. > :06:42.hearing was told that since losing his job, Mr Swan has been in --
:06:42. > :06:47.been unable to find employment as a social worker will stop he has been
:06:47. > :06:57.working as a clean and a pizza delivery man to make ends meet. He
:06:57. > :06:57.
:06:58. > :07:00.had given up hope of ever working as a social worker again. A court
:07:00. > :07:02.has heard how a retired senior police officer "bullied and
:07:02. > :07:05.browbeat" witnesses into giving fictitious evidence that was used
:07:06. > :07:08.to jail three innocent men for the murder of Lynette White, who was
:07:09. > :07:11.working as a prostitute in Cardiff, in 1988. The former Chief Inspector,
:07:11. > :07:14.Graham Mouncher, and seven other former officers are accused by the
:07:14. > :07:18.prosecution of fixing evidence. All eight retired policemen, along with
:07:18. > :07:21.two witnesses, deny conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
:07:21. > :07:25.More than 150 jobs are at risk at the Sogefi filtration factory in
:07:25. > :07:30.Rhondda Cynon Taf. The company, which makes oil and fuel filters
:07:30. > :07:32.for cars, employs more than 400 people at its Llantrisant site. It
:07:32. > :07:38.says it's restructuring its operation because of difficult
:07:38. > :07:42.market conditions. An investigation is continuing into
:07:42. > :07:45.the death of a teenager in a river near Carmarthen. 14-year-old Kieran
:07:45. > :07:55.Bennett-Leefe was swept away by strong currents in the River Towy,

:07:56. > :08:00.near the village of Trevaughan, on Monday.
:08:00. > :08:04.A month after she failed in a takeover bid for Wrexham Football
:08:04. > :08:08.Club, part of Stepney brew's business empire is in trouble. A
:08:08. > :08:12.winding-up petition has forced the closure of the Wynnstay Hotel in
:08:12. > :08:15.Wrexham town centre. Around 100 guests, some of whom only check in
:08:15. > :08:24.last night, were asked to leave, and staff say they have not been
:08:24. > :08:30.paid, some of them for weeks. You have to go out with a red-hot
:08:31. > :08:35.plate for breakfast. Stephanie had become just about Wrexham's best-
:08:35. > :08:39.known business figure. Stephanie book boasted of transforming the
:08:39. > :08:44.Wynnstay Hotel and Wrexham town centre. She chaired the Chamber of
:08:44. > :08:48.Trade. But then there was the aborted bid to link up with fans
:08:48. > :08:52.and by Wrexham Football Club, now part of the business empire she
:08:52. > :08:55.built up is in tatters. This morning, staff at the Wynnstay
:08:55. > :09:00.Hotel were told it was closing. Guests were instructed to leave.
:09:00. > :09:06.They didn't even get breakfast. Tim a good children's soft play centres
:09:06. > :09:12.have also closed. But Stephanie Booth's other hotels are still
:09:12. > :09:16.trading. These doors were locked at 9am. The staff when they left were
:09:16. > :09:19.given a copy of this letter. It talks about the business
:09:19. > :09:24.experiencing financial difficulties. This afternoon, a statement was
:09:24. > :09:28.issued on Stephanie blue's behalf. It said a winding up order petition
:09:28. > :09:32.had been instituted and the Wynnstay Hotel would be close
:09:32. > :09:37.immediately. Some people who made and paid for future bookings have
:09:37. > :09:47.been left to ponder their next step. I have paid over two grand for my
:09:47. > :09:52.wedding on 19th August. I can't find anything. They don't know
:09:52. > :09:56.anything. Performing at the Eisteddfod to day, and 85 strong
:09:56. > :10:04.choir from Pennsylvania in the USA. They were staying at the Wynnstay
:10:04. > :10:07.Hotel and were asked to leave this morning. We were informed by a two
:10:07. > :10:09.glance that we needed to they Kate the hotel, that it was in
:10:09. > :10:15.bankruptcy and they were shutting it down immediately and we needed
:10:15. > :10:18.to pack up and leave. Staff held an impromptu meeting at to Wrexham PUP.
:10:18. > :10:21.They are all owed money, and some were at the hotel last night when
:10:21. > :10:26.fixtures and fittings were being moved out. We didn't know anything
:10:26. > :10:32.was happening until about 11 o'clock last night when they tried
:10:32. > :10:36.to assure me and two other people out of the building and then in
:10:37. > :10:40.came a load of big, heavy, burly men with Kabul boxes. All questions
:10:40. > :10:47.about the future of the hotel on a been directed to a firm of
:10:47. > :10:54.accountants. So far, few answers have been forthcoming. Tonight,
:10:54. > :10:59.Stephanie book is understood to be on holiday in Spain.
:10:59. > :11:04.Still to come, Ellie Simmonds is all smiles as she breaks are ruled
:11:04. > :11:09.record at the European Championships. -- breaks her own
:11:09. > :11:13.Throughout this week we've been focusing on manufacturing with our
:11:13. > :11:17.series Made in Wales. Yesterday we were at one of the largest chemical
:11:17. > :11:20.plants of its kind in the world in Barry. Today we're heading to the
:11:20. > :11:23.Gwent Valleys where the small remnant of a once-large industry is
:11:23. > :11:26.still surviving. This is New Tredegar. There was a
:11:27. > :11:31.time when thousands of women in this area used to work in a number
:11:31. > :11:34.of factories making underwear. The big ones have all gone now but as
:11:34. > :11:43.part of our Made in Wales series we've tracked down what we think is
:11:43. > :11:45.the last one. It's tucked away among these streets in a converted
:11:45. > :11:53.chapel over there. This is AJM Sewing. From here, the 41 staff
:11:53. > :11:56.make some of the most expensive lingerie on the British high street.
:11:56. > :11:58.James Mellor started the company 10 years ago with his redundancy
:11:58. > :12:08.cheque from the underwear giants Gossard when their Blackwood
:12:08. > :12:13.factory closed. I am quite saddened that we are the
:12:13. > :12:18.last of a breed, making underwear. Then again, it is a privilege to be
:12:18. > :12:22.working at the level of manufacture in that we do because we have the
:12:22. > :12:26.big design brands in the UK. Our products get shipped all over the
:12:26. > :12:30.world. Some of the products may be extravagant but the profit margins
:12:30. > :12:33.aren't. AJM say it will typically sell a bra for around �10, but
:12:34. > :12:41.it'll cost them around �8 to make. The big money is being made by the
:12:41. > :12:46.brands, with the bras made here retailing for upwards of �50.
:12:46. > :12:51.One bonus of being based here is responding quickly to orders.
:12:51. > :12:56.We have to be in the UK for speed because we are at the forefront of
:12:56. > :13:00.fashion trends and so on. They have to ship it in two as quickly and we
:13:00. > :13:04.have to get it back on to on the market quickly.
:13:04. > :13:08.The other big advantage is the skill of the workforce. They have
:13:08. > :13:16.you -- they have worked in this driving industry in the Gwent
:13:16. > :13:20.valleys for years. I am hoping to spend the rest of my
:13:20. > :13:26.working days here. I have been in the industry since I was 16,
:13:26. > :13:36.straight from school. My family has been in the industry. Sadly, we are
:13:36. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:40.the last ones standing. AJM sounds like a fairytale story,
:13:40. > :13:48.but they'll tell you it's a daily battle for the firm keeping on top
:13:48. > :13:56.of costs. Tomorrow night, we will come from a
:13:56. > :13:59.ceramic mosaic company in Denbigh. He is one of the most outspoken
:13:59. > :14:04.critics of News International. After today's announcement that the
:14:04. > :14:07.paper is to close, Chris Bryant joins me now to say the latest
:14:07. > :14:12.development is a move to protect those at the top of News
:14:13. > :14:16.International. He believes his firm has been hacked and instigated
:14:16. > :14:20.yesterday's emergency debate in the Commons. He has just come from
:14:20. > :14:25.Westminster and joins us now. Your reaction to the news?
:14:25. > :14:28.I think it is a despicable way to protect those at the top, to let
:14:28. > :14:34.hundreds of those people who work at the newspaper know they are
:14:34. > :14:37.getting sacked on television. Of course it is right that they are
:14:37. > :14:41.taking serious action at the News of the World but they are beginning
:14:41. > :14:44.to confess what happened there because the Royal British Legion
:14:44. > :14:48.came on telly to say it is despicable what they have been
:14:48. > :14:54.doing because the families of those murdered six years ago today said
:14:54. > :14:58.it is despicable, what they have been up to. The truth is, this is
:14:58. > :15:02.all being done to protect Rebekah Brooks at the top. She is the
:15:02. > :15:07.person in charge of the organisation when Milly Dowler's
:15:07. > :15:11.telephone was packed. I still find it difficult to even say that but
:15:11. > :15:15.she is hanging on. I honestly believe she had a single shred of
:15:15. > :15:19.decency in her, she already would have resigned. Rupert Murdoch has
:15:19. > :15:23.not sector and has no judgement either.
:15:23. > :15:28.What would satisfy you? There still has to be a police
:15:28. > :15:32.investigation. Those who have committed criminal acts should be
:15:32. > :15:37.investigated by the police. �100,000, is what I am hearing, has
:15:37. > :15:41.been paid by the News of the World to the police officers. That is
:15:41. > :15:45.bribery and corruption. Do you have confidence in the
:15:45. > :15:49.police investigation? I do at the moment, but not in the
:15:49. > :15:54.original investigation. Everything we heard this week, police had in
:15:54. > :15:59.their files since two girls and six. They did nothing about it and it is
:15:59. > :16:04.because people batted at the door of the News of the World, finally,
:16:04. > :16:07.Rupert Murdoch has to sit up and beg.
:16:07. > :16:10.The News of the World political editor said that hard-working
:16:10. > :16:14.journalists are carrying the can for a previous regime. Do you
:16:14. > :16:19.agree? He is right. David is a decent guy.
:16:19. > :16:25.I know several journalists there now and this is the Plimsoll line
:16:25. > :16:30.strategy. Remember the Plimsoll line on a ship? As soon as the
:16:30. > :16:33.water touched it, you had to throw something out? First of all they
:16:33. > :16:38.checked out some journalists and then some senior executives like
:16:38. > :16:41.Andy Coulson. It still goes to the issue was at the helm of the
:16:41. > :16:45.newspaper. Briefly, is this the beginning?
:16:45. > :16:49.I think there is a long way to go yet.
:16:49. > :16:52.Thank you for joining us. The National Museum of Wales
:16:52. > :16:55.unveils its new showcase for contemporary art this weekend.
:16:55. > :16:58.Former gallery space have been given a �6.5 million makeover the
:16:58. > :17:07.create the new West Wing. Sian Lloyd has been getting a sneak
:17:07. > :17:11.preview. Sian. I have managed to get into the West
:17:11. > :17:17.Wing, the new home for contemporary art at the National Museum for
:17:17. > :17:21.Wales, before the 500 also invited guests at a special reception at
:17:21. > :17:26.the museum this evening. The space opens to the public at the weekend.
:17:26. > :17:29.It contains exceptional pieces from Wales and the world from the 1950s
:17:29. > :17:32.to the present day. And you don't get much more
:17:32. > :17:35.contemporary than this, the Blaenau Ffestiniog Circle by former Turner
:17:35. > :17:38.Prize winner Richard Long was installed just last week. He
:17:38. > :17:41.collected the slate from a working quarry in Blaenau on the Wednesday,
:17:42. > :17:47.bringing part of the landscape of North Wales into one of the six new
:17:47. > :17:52.galleries at the National Museum in Cardiff. The space was once home to
:17:52. > :17:54.the archaeology collection which is being rehoused downstairs. It gives
:17:54. > :17:59.the museum 30% more space to show its contemporary art collection
:17:59. > :18:03.from Wales and the world. Manon Awst and Benjamin Walther have
:18:03. > :18:12.loaned their sculpture for the opening show. They spend their time
:18:12. > :18:18.working between their bases in Caernarfon and Berlin.
:18:18. > :18:22.The influence comes from being within the setting of Wales,
:18:22. > :18:26.experiencing the life, the landscape, the people, the Culture,
:18:26. > :18:31.strongly. And also having also the possibility of going where I come
:18:31. > :18:35.from, which is Germany, and having a comparison between Wales and
:18:35. > :18:41.Germany. The piece is called proposal for a
:18:41. > :18:46.social centre, which implies a building. This is, in a way, an
:18:46. > :18:51.architect -- architectural model. You think, who is it made for? You
:18:51. > :19:01.start analysing the material, like the gelatine, which is an organic
:19:01. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:07.material, a pure protein found in our bones and skin.
:19:07. > :19:11.We have people like David Hockney and Richard Long. We are showing
:19:11. > :19:16.those alongside artists born in Wales who have come to Wales to
:19:16. > :19:25.produce work, to show there is an inter-relationship between artists
:19:25. > :19:27.and Wales. Contemporary pieces have also been placed in some of the
:19:27. > :19:36.other galleries. Unlliw by Carwyn Evans is an installation of 6,500
:19:36. > :19:42.bird boxes handmade from cardboard. It was also meant to express the
:19:42. > :19:47.housing policy. Their plan was to build 6,500 homes in Ceredigion. I
:19:47. > :19:54.couldn't make any sense of this. I have installed it here in front of
:19:54. > :19:59.a painting of Caernarfon Castle. It is interesting being in the
:19:59. > :20:01.landscape of Wales Gallery in the museum because it does show how
:20:01. > :20:04.important the landscape of Wales has been to artists across the
:20:04. > :20:07.centuries. Although many pieces have been brought out from the
:20:07. > :20:10.vaults, the museum still doesn't have enough space to show all its
:20:10. > :20:20.collection, but the exhibitions will be changed every 18 months,
:20:20. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:25.allowing more the nations treasures And we can talk now to David
:20:25. > :20:28.Anderson, the director general of the National Museum. It certainly
:20:28. > :20:32.has the wow factor. What were you trying to achieve here?
:20:33. > :20:37.We wanted to have a better platform for Welsh art for the people of
:20:37. > :20:41.Wales but also for international audiences. We have deliberately put
:20:41. > :20:45.the contemporary and modern work alongside the historical work and
:20:45. > :20:50.hope that people who come to see the new work will be inspired to
:20:50. > :20:54.see the old and new. Above all, we want to have this as a platform to
:20:54. > :21:00.reach out to audiences across Wales and inspire new generations to be
:21:00. > :21:03.creative themselves. You have been in post for eight
:21:03. > :21:07.months and have come from the Victoria and Albert Museum in
:21:07. > :21:12.London. How important is this space and the exhibition you are doing
:21:12. > :21:16.here, not only in Wales but how the museum is seen on a wider stage?
:21:16. > :21:20.I think Wales can now say it has art collections but also a museum
:21:20. > :21:25.space as well, which stands in comparison with any in the world.
:21:25. > :21:27.What is special is that you get a distinctive Welsh voice to the
:21:27. > :21:31.interpretation of the collections, which means there is something
:21:31. > :21:36.special for people who come from abroad to see these collections, in
:21:36. > :21:39.to see it -- in coming here. We will tour overseas as well so it
:21:39. > :21:45.will bring a new identity, I think, to Wales.
:21:45. > :21:50.It has been some years in the making and a �6.5 million price tag.
:21:50. > :21:55.Over those five years, the economic price climate has changed.
:21:55. > :22:00.As usual, it is a mixture of funding. We are grateful to the
:22:00. > :22:04.Welsh government for giving as part of that funding. We are grateful to
:22:04. > :22:09.trust foundations and private individuals as well.
:22:09. > :22:19.Thank you. You can come along to the museum, to the exhibition, from
:22:19. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:21.the weekend. Admission is free. Paralympian Ellie Simmonds is
:22:21. > :22:23.celebrating another gold medal and another world record at the
:22:23. > :22:27.European Disability Swimming Championships in Berlin. The 16-
:22:27. > :22:30.year-old from Swansea is expected to be one of the stars of London
:22:30. > :22:36.2012 and on current form, she'll be looking to win another clutch of
:22:36. > :22:40.medals, as Ashleigh Crowter reports. It has been an event to remember
:22:40. > :22:43.for Ellie Simmonds in Berlin. She won the 400 metres freestyle
:22:43. > :22:48.earlier in the bleak and matched that achievement last night,
:22:48. > :22:53.producing a blistering last 50 metres to miss -- to win the
:22:53. > :22:57.individual medley, setting another global best. Newport's Liz Johnson
:22:57. > :23:03.was left in her wake. I was coming back with fighting
:23:03. > :23:09.spirit. It was quite hard but I am really happy. A new world record. I
:23:09. > :23:15.couldn't ask for more. The first 150, my weakest stroke. My front
:23:15. > :23:19.crawl is what I have been improving. I do like to have a little bit of
:23:19. > :23:24.excitement. As a 14-year-old, Ellie Simmonds
:23:24. > :23:28.shot to fame with two world records at the Beijing Paralympics. She is
:23:28. > :23:33.part of a successful group who are trained in Swansea. Winning major
:23:33. > :23:37.medals has become part of a habit and she has already got her sight
:23:37. > :23:39.set on a third gold this week in the final of the 100 metres
:23:39. > :23:42.freestyle on Saturday. Cycling, and Geraint Thomas has
:23:42. > :23:47.played a crucial role in setting up a first ever stage win for his team
:23:47. > :23:50.at the Tour de France. He rode a perfect tactical race in Normandy,
:23:50. > :23:53.leading out his team-mate Edvald Boasson Hagen so he could win the
:23:53. > :23:56.final sprint. Thomas, who you can see punching the air a few metres
:23:56. > :24:06.back, retained the white jersey for best young rider for the sixth
:24:06. > :24:09.
:24:09. > :24:12.successive stage. He's still in seventh place overall. Now let me
:24:12. > :24:15.tell you about an exclusive report that's on tomorrow night's
:24:15. > :24:18.programme. We 've been looking at the care system in Wales. With
:24:18. > :24:21.fresh warnings of a crisis in the care system this week, we'll have a
:24:21. > :24:24.special report on tomorrow's programme on the future of homes in
:24:24. > :24:27.Wales. Figures we've obtained show the gap in how much councils are
:24:27. > :24:33.prepared to pay for care is growing, leading to fears that some homes
:24:33. > :24:37.could close. Hard market economics mean that it
:24:37. > :24:42.is not sustainable. Places will go to the wall and that is not a
:24:42. > :24:47.desirable situation. Those rates have got to be reflective of actual
:24:47. > :24:50.costs. We can't do that without more money going into the system.
:24:50. > :24:59.That's on Wales Today tomorrow, and what will the weather be like then
:24:59. > :25:02.The weather is looking more and settled tomorrow. Some sunshine. A
:25:02. > :25:06.few showers too but there's more rain, heavy showers and gusty winds
:25:06. > :25:09.on the way. In fact the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for
:25:09. > :25:14.north Wales tomorrow which means be aware of heavy rain. 30 to 40mm
:25:14. > :25:17.possible tomorrow with a risk of flooding. The satellite picture
:25:17. > :25:20.shows a mixture of sunshine and showers over Wales today but this
:25:20. > :25:23.lump of cloud over Ireland is heading our way. So this evening
:25:23. > :25:26.some sunshine and a few showers but rain will spread from the southwest
:25:26. > :25:29.after midnight. Some heavy rain. Lowest temperatures around 11
:25:29. > :25:32.Celsius. The wind picking-up as well. Becoming strong in the west
:25:32. > :25:35.and the southwest with gusts over 40mph. Tomorrow's chart is not a
:25:35. > :25:41.nice one. Low pressure over us which means unsettled weather. Rain,
:25:41. > :25:43.showers and gusty winds. So here's the picture for 8 in the morning.
:25:44. > :25:47.Cloudy with showers or longer spells of rain. Some heavy
:25:47. > :25:53.downpours in places. Feeling cool as well. Temperatures in Llandudno
:25:53. > :25:56.13 Celsius and breezy. Strong winds on Gower. During the day, it will
:25:56. > :26:06.brighten-up in parts of the south and east with scattered sharp
:26:06. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :26:15.showers. Prolonged showers in the north-west. A risk of thunder.
:26:15. > :26:18.Temperatures 17 or 18 Celsius and breezy. The south-westerly wind
:26:18. > :26:28.fresh to strong on southern and western coasts. In Gwynedd tomorrow.
:26:28. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:33.Cloudy and wet at times. Better for the weekend. Still a few showers
:26:33. > :26:36.around but lighter and more scattered. Some sunshine and a
:26:36. > :26:39.little warmer. By the way, Welsh Girls U18 Hockey team are off to
:26:39. > :26:49.Prague tomorrow to compete in the Euro Hockey U18 Championship. Good
:26:49. > :26:50.
:26:50. > :26:54.luck to them and it's going to be It will be tough for them. Thank
:26:54. > :26:59.you. Tonight's news is dominated by the announcement that Britain's
:26:59. > :27:01.best selling newspaper, the News of the World, is to close. News
:27:01. > :27:07.International made the decision following public anger over the
:27:07. > :27:12.phone hacking scandal. Chris Bryant gave his reaction on this programme
:27:12. > :27:15.a short while ago. This has all been done to protect
:27:15. > :27:20.Rebekah Brooks at the top. She is the person in charge of the
:27:20. > :27:24.Organisation when Milly Dowler's telephone was packed. I still find
:27:24. > :27:29.it hard to even say that. If she had a single shred of decency in
:27:29. > :27:32.her, she already would have resigned. The fact that Rupert
:27:33. > :27:36.Murdoch has not sector already shows that he has no judgement
:27:36. > :27:39.either. And that's Wales Today. We'll have
