:00:05. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: A patient dies after
:00:07. > :00:10.contracting hepatitis B at Morriston Hospital. As non-urgent
:00:10. > :00:20.operations are suspended, 150 people are told they too could have
:00:20. > :00:21.
:00:21. > :00:28.the virus. They will be concerned when they receive the letter. There
:00:28. > :00:38.is a low risk that they have received any formal infection. --
:00:38. > :00:38.
:00:38. > :00:48.Also tonight: 15 years after she died, John Pope is convicted for
:00:48. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:52.the second time of murdering Karen Skipper. Justice has now been done
:00:52. > :00:55.and Karen Skipper can now rest in peace.
:00:55. > :00:58.The biggest land deal in Wales in a generation calls for an inquiry
:00:58. > :01:01.into who takes over the vast Vyrnwy estate.
:01:01. > :01:04.Good evening from the final day of the Royal Welsh. Over 200,000
:01:04. > :01:08.people have come through the gates, but have they been spending their
:01:08. > :01:11.cash? Pubs around the showground are
:01:11. > :01:21.toasting a good week, but not all the traders are so happy.
:01:21. > :01:25.And just how long does it take to prepare a prize winning bull?
:01:25. > :01:33.watching them, you have to blow-dry them just like a woman going into a
:01:33. > :01:35.hairdresser. Good evening. The family of a woman
:01:35. > :01:39.who died after contracting hepatitis B in hospital from
:01:39. > :01:41.another patient have launched an official complaint. More than 150
:01:41. > :01:45.people who underwent surgery at Morriston Hospital in Swansea have
:01:45. > :01:47.been told they may also have been exposed to the hepatitis B virus.
:01:47. > :01:54.Non-urgent surgery at the hospital's Cardiac Unit has been
:01:54. > :01:57.suspended. Rhodri Lewis has the story.
:01:57. > :02:00.None of the individuals involved have been identified, but it's
:02:00. > :02:04.known the first person, a woman, came into the Cardiac Unit at
:02:04. > :02:08.Morriston Hospital for treatment in March. During that time, she came
:02:08. > :02:11.into contact with another patient who already had hepatitis B. The
:02:11. > :02:16.woman was discharged in the usual way, but she then developed the
:02:16. > :02:21.acute form of the disease and died last month. The health board says
:02:21. > :02:23.it's likely she contracted the disease in hospital. Her family say
:02:23. > :02:26.they've been left extremely distressed by the death of their
:02:26. > :02:29.mother and the knowledge that her illness had been contracted from a
:02:29. > :02:37.patient known to be infected with hepatitis B. They've launched an
:02:37. > :02:41.official complaint. I have spoken to the family today and they have
:02:41. > :02:46.expressed distress about what has happened. They were to be left
:02:46. > :02:51.alone and I respect that. It is a concern at this point in time that
:02:51. > :02:55.they have not yet told us what the cause was. They are still trying to
:02:55. > :02:59.find out. 150 other people who were treated at the unit between the
:02:59. > :03:02.11th of March and the 17th of April may also have been exposed to the
:03:02. > :03:05.disease. They live in a wide area, stretching from Aberystwyth to
:03:05. > :03:13.Bridgend. The health board wants these people to come forward and
:03:13. > :03:20.have a blood test. In theory, it can happen at any point where
:03:20. > :03:28.bodily fluids get mixed. It can happen at any point in a patient's
:03:28. > :03:32.journey from admission to discharge of the hospital. It happens when
:03:32. > :03:35.there is contamination from them into another patient. Hepatitis B
:03:35. > :03:38.is a viral infection of the liver. It spreads through blood and other
:03:38. > :03:45.bodily fluids following intimate contact. It can cause serious liver
:03:45. > :03:50.damage and in extreme cases, can be fatal. There are things in place
:03:50. > :03:55.and they can get individual advice and a blood test and which can be
:03:55. > :03:58.done from any time from this afternoon onwards. There is a small
:03:58. > :04:01.risk that somebody else has acquired the virus but the only way
:04:02. > :04:04.they will know is to be tested. Morriston Hospital has now
:04:04. > :04:07.suspended all non-urgent cardiac surgery, and has tested all its
:04:07. > :04:17.staff for the disease. It's also going to commission an external
:04:17. > :04:17.
:04:17. > :04:20.review of its procedures. The health board's investigation is
:04:20. > :04:24.continuing but it admits it may never find out exactly what
:04:24. > :04:26.happened here. It's taken 15 years and two trials,
:04:26. > :04:32.but tonight the family of Karen Skipper said justice had finally
:04:32. > :04:35.been done. Mrs Skipper was attacked and drowned in Cardiff in 1996. A
:04:35. > :04:38.local labourer, John Pope, had been convicted of the murder, but that
:04:38. > :04:41.was overturned by the Court of Appeal last year, with a re-trial
:04:41. > :04:45.ordered. Today, a jury at Newport Crown Court decided by a majority
:04:45. > :04:55.of 11 to one that he was, after all, the man responsible for her killing.
:04:55. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:02.Caroline Evans was in court. 62 now, John Pope was today
:05:02. > :05:08.convicted for the second time of a murder he committed 15 years ago.
:05:08. > :05:13.He did not react as the verdict was given. In the court, the family of
:05:13. > :05:19.Karen Skipper sobbed. Afterwards, they gave this reaction. As a
:05:19. > :05:24.family, we have been through 15 years of hell. Justice has now been
:05:24. > :05:29.done and Karen can now finally rest in peace. It was a murder that
:05:29. > :05:32.stunned a city and attracted nationwide publicity. Karen Skipper
:05:32. > :05:37.was 34 and had been out walking with her dogs late one Saturday
:05:37. > :05:41.night when she was killed. Her partially clothed body was found in
:05:41. > :05:45.the River Ely and her hands were tied behind a back with her own dog
:05:45. > :05:50.leads. She had been attacked and held and the river to drown. Her
:05:50. > :06:00.two dogs stayed at his side all night. At first, police focused
:06:00. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:02.attention on her ex husband but at his trial in 1997, he was acquitted.
:06:02. > :06:06.It was then that police looked again at forensic evidence. They
:06:06. > :06:12.discovered a small bloodstain on the pocket of cannons jeans and on
:06:12. > :06:16.her underwear. The DNA or mass a sample on the D8 database from John
:06:16. > :06:21.Pope. He admitted that the blood was his and told police how he had
:06:21. > :06:25.met a woman he had later realised was Karen Skipper outside a shop.
:06:25. > :06:30.He had pulled a thorn from her dog's paw and the dog had bitten
:06:30. > :06:35.him and she had wiped his hand with a tissue. He was not believe that
:06:35. > :06:41.he was sentenced to life in prison. His conviction was overturned last
:06:41. > :06:46.December. The Court of Appeal ordered this retrial. Now, after 23
:06:46. > :06:50.hours' deliberation, the jury in this case decided it was John Pope
:06:50. > :06:55.who was after all responsible. hope the verdict will allow her
:06:55. > :06:59.family and friends to move forward. We know they will never get over
:06:59. > :07:04.losing her so quickly. Our thoughts are also with the family of Philip
:07:04. > :07:09.skipper, who has had to endure a long legal process stretching over
:07:10. > :07:16.nearly 15 years. Passing sentence, the judge told John Pope, quite
:07:16. > :07:23.what happened that night only you know the answer. Karen Skipper was
:07:23. > :07:26.a strong swimmer and in only a few feet of water, you drowned her.
:07:27. > :07:30.It's said to be the biggest land deal in Wales in a generation and
:07:30. > :07:33.tonight a front runner has emerged in the competition to buy the lease
:07:33. > :07:36.on 23,000 acres of Powys, valued at �11 million. But water company
:07:36. > :07:38.Severn Trent say they won't confirm who their preferred bidder for the
:07:39. > :07:41.Vyrnwy Estate is, until a three month consultation has been carried
:07:41. > :07:44.out. And tonight, in a separate development, there have been calls
:07:44. > :07:54.for an inquiry into the sale. Our reporter, Matthew Richards, is on
:07:54. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:04.the Vyrnwy Estate. Much of the spectacular landscape
:08:04. > :08:08.you can see behind me is up for grabs and some of the people living
:08:08. > :08:11.locally wanted whoever bought the land to invest and bring jobs
:08:11. > :08:19.whilst others simply wanted to maintain the peace and tranquillity
:08:19. > :08:23.of this place. Now, amid rumours the front-runner is a water company,
:08:23. > :08:28.people want the long-running saga to be sorted out.
:08:28. > :08:32.Some light refreshment on the banks of Lake Vyrnwy. Chris Clark has run
:08:32. > :08:37.his family business here for 14 years but since Severn Trent
:08:37. > :08:45.announced they were selling up, he has faced uncertainty. We would
:08:45. > :08:52.like to extend a whole business. -- the whole business. But we cannot
:08:52. > :08:59.do that until we know what the next owners want us to do. Maybe they
:08:59. > :09:03.don't want us here at all. They might have different plans. The
:09:03. > :09:08.whole area is full of uncertainty. Many people had supported by a
:09:08. > :09:11.property developer who was brought up locally, believing he would
:09:11. > :09:17.invest in the area and create jobs. He issued a statement last night
:09:17. > :09:20.after being told last night he was unsuccessful. Mr Jones has spent a
:09:20. > :09:25.considerable amount of time and cost in assembling the bid and is
:09:25. > :09:31.clearly disappointed that this has not led him to invest in the area.
:09:31. > :09:35.Mr Jones has respected the views of the local community and our thanks
:09:35. > :09:38.everybody in the community and around Wales who gave him much
:09:39. > :09:44.support in the last 12 months. Rumours that another utility
:09:44. > :09:49.company is the preferred bidder has led to disappointment. I need to
:09:49. > :09:52.meet any new buyer. It seems as if it is united Utilities. The
:09:52. > :09:56.reasonable people are concerned is because they fear it will be the
:09:56. > :10:03.same as before. There are calls tonight into the inquiry for the
:10:03. > :10:07.way the sale has been handled. Pecan nut be about a transfer
:10:07. > :10:11.between two utility companies. There has to be a situation in
:10:11. > :10:14.which the public interest is protected and the democratic
:10:14. > :10:17.interest is held. The area is renowned for its wildlife habitats
:10:17. > :10:20.but the Countryside Council for Wales will now carry out a three-
:10:20. > :10:29.month consultation to canvass opinion on the way forward. It is
:10:29. > :10:34.urging people to make their views known. The public should make their
:10:34. > :10:36.views known. At the slow process of selecting a buyer is reaching its
:10:36. > :10:41.conclusion but many here are still unsure about how they will be
:10:41. > :10:47.affected by any changes a new owner might make.
:10:47. > :10:52.Our I understand there is strong feeling of the about the sale.
:10:52. > :10:58.That's right. Not everybody is necessarily against United in
:10:58. > :11:00.utilities -- United Utilities. Tenants want to know if they can go
:11:00. > :11:05.ahead and develop their businesses and build extensions to their
:11:05. > :11:09.buildings and things like that. On the other hand, there are lots of
:11:09. > :11:16.people say that the Mr Jones bid would have been something that
:11:16. > :11:23.would help the area. They feel Severn Trent left things go
:11:23. > :11:27.downhill when they were landlords. They feel that transferring it to
:11:27. > :11:37.another large company, they would not have an interest in developing
:11:37. > :11:40.
:11:40. > :11:42.the area. There is a public meeting and that will be held on Monday.
:11:42. > :11:50.Let's get more from our environment correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd. How
:11:50. > :11:54.will this consultation work? We are talking about a vast area of policy.
:11:54. > :12:03.We're also talking about conservation land. Land Of
:12:03. > :12:07.Scientific Interest and Special Areas of Conservation. The
:12:07. > :12:11.Countryside Council for Wales will consult for three months. It is not
:12:11. > :12:19.a public consultation but they will be talking to the national park in
:12:19. > :12:25.Snowdonia and to Powys council and to the Environment Agency. If it is
:12:25. > :12:29.thought to be united Utilities, there has to be a relevant
:12:29. > :12:35.documentation handed over about how they will safeguard what there is
:12:35. > :12:41.on that estate in the next 10 to 14 days. They will need to look at
:12:41. > :12:47.Nash -- natural beauty, plants and historical and architectural and
:12:47. > :12:52.public access. The Countryside Council for Wales will also have to
:12:52. > :12:57.report to Caroline Spelman, the UK Secretary on environment. We heard
:12:57. > :13:03.and the report that there are calls for an inquiry. Where is that
:13:04. > :13:08.likely to go? It may well be a test case for the environment and
:13:08. > :13:17.sustainable committee, chaired by the former presiding officer,
:13:17. > :13:21.Dafydd Elis-Thomas. He is calling for an inquiry. We are talking
:13:21. > :13:25.about one large company selling fast parts of Wales on to another.
:13:25. > :13:33.The implications will be on the environment and of his your local
:13:33. > :13:41.people. -- and obviously on. That inquiry will see whether the
:13:41. > :13:44.Assembly Government will be important. The Assembly Government
:13:45. > :13:50.is not offering a response because it does not want to be seen
:13:50. > :13:53.responding to a commercial bid. Still to come tonight: A new
:13:53. > :13:55.international striker is on the verge of signing for Cardiff City.
:13:55. > :14:05.Former Wales international John Hartson tells us Kenny Miller would
:14:05. > :14:06.
:14:06. > :14:11.Welcome for the last time this week to Llanelwedd and the Royal Welsh
:14:11. > :14:14.Show. The crowds are enjoying the final moments in the Main Ring this
:14:14. > :14:18.evening before everyone packs up and heads home. 226,000 people have
:14:18. > :14:24.been here this week - 5,000 less than last year, but organisers are
:14:24. > :14:26.still delighted with how it's gone. But I think it's fair to say not
:14:26. > :14:31.everyone's completely happy, particularly over in that area,
:14:31. > :14:35.where the bulk of the trade stands have been trying to make money. A
:14:35. > :14:38.lot of them have found it a struggle.
:14:38. > :14:48.Every year, more than a thousand trade stands on the showground hope
:14:48. > :14:55.to cash in. Dave Almond runs one of them and, along with others I've
:14:55. > :15:00.spoken to, doesn't consider this to be a vintage year. This is the
:15:00. > :15:05.worst year I have ever done. I don't think I will even cover the
:15:05. > :15:10.costs this year. We sell high- priced items and what has been
:15:10. > :15:13.happening is that they have been giving us a wide berth. They are
:15:13. > :15:18.not looking, they are buying specifically what they want. Those
:15:18. > :15:22.costs are more than �1,000 for the week. But Dave's experience hasn't
:15:22. > :15:29.been shared by everyone. Some businesses close to the showground
:15:29. > :15:32.say they've been overwhelmed. I grew up in mid Wales and spent a
:15:32. > :15:35.summer working at this cafe opposite the showground. I remember
:15:35. > :15:39.royal welsh week being incredibly busy. Let's speak to the current
:15:39. > :15:49.manager. Lisa - I imagine Royal Welsh week here is as intense as it
:15:49. > :15:51.
:15:51. > :15:56.gets. There is a massive increase. We have got to look at the
:15:56. > :15:59.surrounding area to find staff to help us. And pub landlords in
:15:59. > :16:02.Builth Wells say there's been healthy trade in the evenings,
:16:02. > :16:10.despite the Young Farmers' village down the road luring some of the
:16:10. > :16:15.youngsters away. The publicans to tremendously well, the hotelier's,
:16:15. > :16:19.some of the shops are a little bit quiet, and one or two to close and
:16:19. > :16:24.traders take the opportunity to have a week away. But, on the whole,
:16:24. > :16:28.it is a great asset to Builth Wells. Back at the showground, it's a
:16:28. > :16:32.mixed picture. This year, it cost almost twice as much for a farmer
:16:32. > :16:36.to book a cattle stall. The number of entries fell from around 1,000
:16:36. > :16:38.to less than 800. Millions of pounds worth of agricultural
:16:38. > :16:48.machinery is on display but, with people across Wales tightening
:16:48. > :16:51.their belts, are they just looking? We have dealers who will negotiate
:16:51. > :16:55.deals while they are at the show but it will sow seeds for the rest
:16:55. > :16:58.of the year because some of the equipment is seasonal. You are
:16:58. > :17:01.making your mind up on what you want to purchase for the winter.
:17:01. > :17:10.fewer people through the gates this year and, according to some people,
:17:10. > :17:14.less money changing hands. One of the main organisers of the
:17:14. > :17:18.show, Barrie Jones, joins me now. A lot of trade stands saying it's
:17:18. > :17:21.been a slow week. 5,000 fewer visitors than last year. Is that
:17:21. > :17:23.bad news for you? Around 700 fewer police officers
:17:23. > :17:33.could be responding to emergencies in Wales by March 2015 as the four
:17:33. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:49.On the hall we have had good feedback and we are delighted with
:17:49. > :17:54.the support we have had a. But if traders do nothing people are
:17:54. > :17:58.spending money, they might not come back. We have enjoyed the support
:17:58. > :18:07.and loyalty of traders for many years and we are confident that it
:18:07. > :18:12.can be maintained. We will keep our policy and strategy under reveal
:18:12. > :18:17.from ear to ear, but we are confident that we can retain their
:18:17. > :18:20.support in years to come. One of the major talking points prior to
:18:20. > :18:24.the show was the investment made in the ring and the drainage system
:18:24. > :18:29.because in the past we have seen it turn into a mudbath. You must be
:18:29. > :18:34.pretty delighted with the way it has turned out. Absolutely
:18:34. > :18:41.delighted. We invested in a whole new drainage system, a new
:18:41. > :18:46.foundation, it was quite an investment. �200,000. But look at
:18:46. > :18:53.the end result. We are delighted and we have a Main Ring which is
:18:53. > :18:58.worthy of a Royal Welsh Show. you for joining us. Plenty more to
:18:58. > :19:01.come from the Royal Welsh later in the programme. Around 700 fewer
:19:01. > :19:04.police officers could be responding to emergencies in Wales by March
:19:05. > :19:08.2015 as the four Welsh forces make cuts. That's according to research
:19:08. > :19:11.by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. Dyfed Powys Police
:19:11. > :19:16.could see a slight increase, but the other three forces are likely
:19:16. > :19:19.to see reductions. The price of gas and electricity is
:19:19. > :19:24.going up for customers of Scottish and Southern Energy, which owns the
:19:24. > :19:29.Welsh supplier SWALEC. The company is putting household gas bills up
:19:29. > :19:34.by 18% from September, while electricity will rise by 11%. It's
:19:34. > :19:39.blaming higher wholesale costs. The suspension of Conwy Council's
:19:39. > :19:42.Chief Executive cost the authority almost �350,000. Byron Davies, who
:19:42. > :19:46.was cleared of rape in January, was found guilty of misconduct by his
:19:46. > :19:50.employers. Figures released under the freedom of information act show
:19:50. > :19:56.the council paid his salary, legal advisers, as well as the cost of
:19:56. > :19:58.covering his work. Now, it's a bit early for snow, but
:19:58. > :20:01.Cardiff Council is trying to get schools, doctors surgeries and
:20:02. > :20:07.community groups to pay �1,600 on 'snow kits' so they can help
:20:07. > :20:11.themselves in freezing weather. The kits are made up of two gritting
:20:11. > :20:14.bins and a spreader machine. But one teaching union says schools
:20:14. > :20:21.don't have the spare cash, while the British Medical Association
:20:21. > :20:25.said buckets and shovels were a cheaper alternative.
:20:25. > :20:30.It's another big night of European football for Llaneli. The New
:20:30. > :20:37.Saints start 3-1 down to Midtyland in Denmark. Meanwhile, Llanelli are
:20:37. > :20:47.aiming to defend their 2-1 lead this evening. They've kicked off
:20:47. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:50.against Dinamo Tbilisi away in the Football, and former Wales striker,
:20:50. > :20:54.John Hartson, says Kenny Miller would be an ideal signing for
:20:54. > :20:58.Cardiff City. The club's in talks with the Scotland international as

:21:06. > :21:11.Here's Tomos Dafydd. First home game and a first defeat
:21:11. > :21:17.for Malky Mackay. Celtic were the visitors for this friendly. A
:21:17. > :21:21.single goal was enough. And watching from the stands, Kenny
:21:21. > :21:25.Miller, the Scotland striker who travel to Cardiff last night to
:21:25. > :21:31.negotiate a deal with the Bluebirds. They had an offer accepted by his
:21:31. > :21:40.Turkish club. He is a top professional footballer. With age,
:21:40. > :21:46.he is getting better. He is a more experienced player in terms of his
:21:46. > :21:50.overall game. I think he is a top professional as well. Swansea are
:21:50. > :21:55.just weeks away from Premier League football. It was all smiles in last
:21:55. > :22:00.week's team photo with the fans, but John Hartson says they need to
:22:00. > :22:04.sign experienced players to cope in the top flight. Swansea will go
:22:04. > :22:08.through a few rough patches this season, especially on the road, and
:22:08. > :22:13.if they lose one or two games it is important to have a player to get
:22:13. > :22:18.the lads together again in training and focus on the next game. So we
:22:18. > :22:22.could see new faces at Cardiff and Swansea before the new season and
:22:22. > :22:32.preparations on the field continue this weekend with Swansea facing a

:22:33. > :22:37.Welsh League club and Cardiff City travelling to Bournemouth.
:22:37. > :22:40.Well, that's it from me this evening. I'll hand you back to Ross
:22:40. > :22:44.for our final visit this year to the Royal Welsh Show.
:22:44. > :22:49.Thanks, Lucy. The crowds are still enjoying the sunshine here tonight,
:22:49. > :22:53.not leaving the Main Ring. It has been one of the big attractions
:22:53. > :22:56.here this week. But, of course, that Main Ring throughout the week
:22:56. > :23:00.is also about the big competitions where animals try to be Best in
:23:00. > :23:10.Show. Cemlyn Davies has been following the highs and lows of
:23:10. > :23:10.
:23:10. > :23:14.competing at the Royal Welsh. This year's most prominent show
:23:14. > :23:18.winner's circle the Main Ring one final time and among those taking
:23:18. > :23:24.part in the parade of champions, the best Welsh black ball over four
:23:24. > :23:28.years old. We met him on Monday along with John Hughes. John's
:23:28. > :23:35.father owns the ball but was too unwell to come to Llanelwedd. He
:23:35. > :23:40.has been following events closely from the farm on Anglesey. We had
:23:40. > :23:47.Supreme at the Anglesey show four times but this is the cream of the
:23:47. > :23:54.success. I wish I could be there but I am very confident in John.
:23:55. > :23:57.After he won, I have got to tell you, my eyes went a bit wet. He was
:23:57. > :24:02.back in action this morning representing the Welsh Blacks
:24:02. > :24:09.against other native breeds. Preparing a bowl full competition
:24:09. > :24:14.is no easy task. It takes about five hours from start to finish.
:24:14. > :24:20.You have got to wash him and then it is like a woman going to a
:24:20. > :24:26.hairdresser. But this one is much cheaper. He seems perfectly used
:24:26. > :24:36.all of this. We have trained him since he was a little calf. It is
:24:36. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:46.natural for him. Good luck in the competition. This pet rabbit,
:24:46. > :24:50.Sapphire, wins her competition. am amazed, it is her first show.
:24:50. > :24:59.She did really well and I am really happy. Backing the Cattle Ring,
:24:59. > :25:03.there was a different outcome. The first prize went to the longhorn.
:25:03. > :25:09.would have loved to have finished on a high note, but there we go.
:25:09. > :25:13.There is another show coming up so onwards and forwards. They leave
:25:13. > :25:20.for Anglesey knowing that the proud owner and father will be waiting to
:25:20. > :25:23.welcome them home. We've been fairly lucky with the
:25:23. > :25:26.weather this week. No glorious sunshine, but no heavy downpours
:25:26. > :25:34.either. A few showers this afternoon. What's in store for the
:25:34. > :25:38.It is looking quite promising for the weekend. We got off quite
:25:38. > :25:42.lightly today. We had one heavy shower this afternoon but at the
:25:42. > :25:46.moment it is nice and dry with a little bit of sunshine. The best of
:25:46. > :25:51.the sunshine today has been in Pembrokeshire. Temperatures in
:25:51. > :25:58.Milford Haven as high as 19 degree Celsius. But there has been some
:25:58. > :26:02.heavy and thundery downpours. The forecast tomorrow is once again
:26:02. > :26:06.looking mixed. Some sunshine, some places tried but not everywhere,
:26:06. > :26:11.but there are a few more heavy showers in the forecast. This
:26:11. > :26:14.evening, those heavy, thundery downpours I mentioned in parts of
:26:14. > :26:22.Mid-Wales and the South will continue for a while before slowly
:26:22. > :26:26.dying away. A fair amount of cloud overnight. Light winds with lowest
:26:26. > :26:31.temperatures around 11 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows
:26:31. > :26:37.high pressure North of Ireland with a few troughs in southern England
:26:37. > :26:42.and Wales. Tomorrow, mixed fortunes again. A few bright and sunny
:26:42. > :26:46.intervals but cloud building through the day. These mainly in
:26:46. > :26:50.Mid Wales. They should not be as heavy as today but I would not rule
:26:50. > :26:56.out the odd sharp one. Some places staying dry tomorrow, the best of
:26:56. > :27:00.the sunshine towards the north and west coast. Temperatures similar to
:27:00. > :27:04.today's. Tomorrow night, the showers will fade away to leave
:27:04. > :27:09.much of the country dry with some patchy cloud and clear spells. He
:27:09. > :27:14.is looking fairly promising for the weekend. The odd shower in places
:27:14. > :27:23.on Saturday but otherwise fine with good spells of sunshine. Something
