:00:28. > :00:38.Wrexham Football Club say they've run out of money - staff and

:00:38. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:44.players won't be paid this month. The fans are being asked to pitch

:00:44. > :00:46.in to pay the players' wages. Elliot can now talk after going to

:00:46. > :00:52.a special unit for autistic children, but it's threatened with

:00:52. > :00:56.closure. He has made massive progress. It

:00:56. > :00:59.would be devastating to his future if that did happen.

:00:59. > :01:01.And yours for a thousand pounds - the deal offered to campaigners

:01:01. > :01:04.fighting to save this church. Good evening from the National Pool

:01:04. > :01:14.in Swansea where, tonight, our Olympic hopeful is a swimmer who

:01:14. > :01:16.

:01:16. > :01:19.calls this place her second home. Good evening. It caused traffic

:01:19. > :01:23.chaos and misery for thousands of commuters. Some queued for hours

:01:23. > :01:26.just to travel a few miles. On Tuesday, a lorry fire in the

:01:26. > :01:30.Brynglas Tunnels closed one of the main routes into Wales but, tonight,

:01:30. > :01:33.the road has re-opened. These pictures from inside the tunnel

:01:33. > :01:38.show the extent of the damage - the temperature so high, the tarmac

:01:38. > :01:42.melted. Well, Kate Scott-Williams is in the newsroom with the latest.

:01:42. > :01:44.What's the latest? This afternoon, we've heard from

:01:44. > :01:49.the Minister for Transport, Carl Sergeant, who's confirmed that the

:01:49. > :01:55.tunnel is now fully reopened in both directions. As you can see

:01:55. > :01:58.here, traffic is moving well through the tunnels. There's a

:01:58. > :02:04.30mph speed limit in the westbound tunnel as there is only partial

:02:04. > :02:09.lighting. If you remember, it was this tunnel where the lorry caught

:02:09. > :02:17.fire. Temperatures were so high that it melted the tarmac and

:02:17. > :02:20.destroyed the overhead lights. At the time, they said the tunnels

:02:20. > :02:23.could be closed for weeks, but around a hundred people have been

:02:23. > :02:32.working around the clock over the last 72 hours to clear debris and

:02:32. > :02:35.examine the tunnel to make sure it's safe. They've resurfaced part

:02:35. > :02:43.of the tunnel, they've replaced the white lines and the cats eyes on

:02:43. > :02:47.the road and they've cleaned the tunnel. And today engineers gave it

:02:47. > :02:52.the green light. There are restrictions as I said - 30mph, and

:02:52. > :02:57.drivers must have their headlights Kate, it's caused traffic problems

:02:57. > :03:02.for days. Obviously, this news will come as a

:03:02. > :03:07.huge relief to motorists. During Tuesday's rush hour, the M4 around

:03:07. > :03:11.the area was closed both ways. Some of them were left stranded for up

:03:11. > :03:16.to two hours and queues stretched back for nine miles. Amazingly, no-

:03:16. > :03:25.one was injured. The incident has re-opened the debate on whether an

:03:25. > :03:27.M4 relief road is needed. But, tonight, some relief for motorists,

:03:27. > :03:30.especially those going on holiday, but the 30mph speed restriction

:03:30. > :03:34.will stay in place until they're able to carry out improvements to

:03:34. > :03:44.the tunnel over the coming weeks, which will mean a number of night-

:03:44. > :03:49.

:03:49. > :03:52.time closures. Six members of staff have been

:03:52. > :03:56.suspended at a care home in Gwynedd after a report found several

:03:56. > :03:59.failings. The Care and Social Services Inspectorate, who visited

:03:59. > :04:04.Cerrig Camu in Dolgellau, found rooms smelling of urine and a poor

:04:04. > :04:08.standard of care. It followed an anonymous complaint that one of the

:04:08. > :04:13.residents was being neglected. The company, which owns the home, says

:04:13. > :04:15.it takes client welfare extremely seriously.

:04:15. > :04:19.A sex offender from Powys who was jailed indefinitely earlier this

:04:19. > :04:22.year has had his conviction overturned. Anthony Milsom, who's

:04:22. > :04:27.62 and from Newtown, pleaded guilty to more than 40 sex-related

:04:27. > :04:30.offences, dating back to the early 1990s. He's now been sentenced to

:04:30. > :04:33.three-and-a-half years at the Court of Appeal after the judge said his

:04:33. > :04:40.crimes did not justify an open- ended sentence from which he might

:04:40. > :04:43.never be released. It's a new low for a club that

:04:43. > :04:46.seems to be stumbling from one financial crisis to the next.

:04:46. > :04:51.Wrexham's fans are being asked to pay the players' wages because the

:04:51. > :05:01.club can't afford it. More than 100 support staff will also miss-out on

:05:01. > :05:05.

:05:05. > :05:08.pay this month. Carwyn Jones has commented on the club's problems,

:05:08. > :05:12.saying it is sad news. Matthew Richards is at the Racecourse for

:05:12. > :05:15.Thanks. First there was the news that Wrexham FC's stable-mates,

:05:15. > :05:19.Crusaders, wouldn't be playing in the top flight for the time being,

:05:19. > :05:22.and now the future of the football club itself has become even less

:05:22. > :05:27.certain. The players have revolted, saying that without being paid,

:05:27. > :05:29.they wouldn't play in two friendly games. And, to cap it all, in just

:05:29. > :05:32.a few days, the Football Conference will want assurances that Wrexham

:05:32. > :05:35.is actually match fit for next season.

:05:35. > :05:39.The team were told at training yesterday that the club wouldn't be

:05:39. > :05:42.able to pay them this month. Dean Saunders says his team held a

:05:42. > :05:45.meeting and decided to down tools, missing two friendly matches,

:05:45. > :05:55.including one last night at Colwyn Bay. But, this afternoon, the

:05:55. > :05:59.Wrexham Supporters' Federation has appealed to fans to make donations.

:05:59. > :06:05.The federation has approached us about any interim fund to help

:06:05. > :06:09.players with wages. That will help the supporters' trust in being able

:06:09. > :06:12.to conclude the deal. The club's plight has even attracted comment

:06:12. > :06:16.from the First Minister, who says he's saddened by events at Wrexham,

:06:16. > :06:19.but that the best way forward is for it to be run by people with its

:06:19. > :06:22.best interests at heart. The Football Conference is

:06:22. > :06:32.investigating the problems. It will want to know soon if the club will

:06:32. > :06:36.be able to take part in the Blue Square Premier next season. There

:06:36. > :06:40.are 115 people employed here from office workers, bar staff, caterers

:06:40. > :06:44.and the people who maintain the crowds do. In the past they have

:06:45. > :06:48.been told they might be paid a deal too late but this month they will

:06:48. > :06:54.not get paid at all. Former manager Dixie McNeil says whatever is

:06:54. > :07:01.causing the hold-up, time is running out. The deal is taking so

:07:01. > :07:06.long between the trust and it looks as if patience is running out. On

:07:06. > :07:10.the website, the statement was, we have gone past our sell-by date, we

:07:10. > :07:14.are not going to pay any more money to the football club. A deal has

:07:14. > :07:17.got to be done very quickly. Crusaders players have at least

:07:17. > :07:20.been paid. The Rugby Football League stepped in, offering the

:07:20. > :07:22.club an advance on its broadcasting revenue. The football side will be

:07:22. > :07:30.hoping fans dig deep too. Matthew, what's causing the delay

:07:30. > :07:35.in signing a deal? It is all very complicated but the latest

:07:35. > :07:39.participant in this saga is the university. They want to buy at

:07:39. > :07:42.this ground, and that is the expensive part. The support

:07:42. > :07:46.distrust are only interested in taking over the club, and that

:07:46. > :07:50.would be for a nominal fee. But Glyndwr University are following

:07:50. > :07:54.all the correct procedures. They are carrying out a due diligence

:07:54. > :08:00.process and that this takes some time. It is also complicated by the

:08:00. > :08:04.fact there is not just one owner. BBC Wales understands the Rugby

:08:04. > :08:07.Football League also owns a large portion of the ground itself.

:08:08. > :08:13.new season is just around the corner. Wrexham need to get their

:08:13. > :08:15.house in order before the first game. The Football Conference have

:08:15. > :08:18.already started to make their inquiries but we understand they

:08:18. > :08:23.are going to try to meet some delegates from Wrexham next week to

:08:23. > :08:27.get some answers because, as we saw with the Crusaders, they need to

:08:27. > :08:31.say at a particular deadline, we will be able to play in the league

:08:31. > :08:36.this season. We have only got two weeks until the first home game is

:08:36. > :08:40.Scheduled at Wrexham. In the meantime, we have had the local

:08:40. > :08:45.Assembly Member saying perhaps the Football Association could step in

:08:45. > :08:48.to try to pay the players' wages. She has also asked the Football

:08:49. > :08:51.Association of Wales to lend its support to all the parties.

:08:51. > :08:53.Council officers in Flintshire have been accused of presenting

:08:53. > :08:58.inaccurate information to justify closing a unit for autistic

:08:58. > :09:01.children. The unit at Westwood Primary School in Buckley faces

:09:01. > :09:04.closure after officers said it hadn't succeeded. But a professor

:09:04. > :09:14.at Bangor University says his research suggests the claims are

:09:14. > :09:17.

:09:17. > :09:20.wrong. Mark Hannaby has the story. This five-year-old is autistic. He

:09:20. > :09:25.has difficulties communicating and interacting with people. His mother

:09:25. > :09:35.says he has been helped enormously by a teaching method called Applied

:09:35. > :09:35.

:09:35. > :09:41.behavioural analysis at the primary She fears Elliott's progress may be

:09:41. > :09:46.reversed if the unit closes. That has happened. There is a young boy

:09:46. > :09:50.who went to the class and he was put in a bid Generic special school.

:09:50. > :09:54.He spot speaking with informants of been there. That is not what I want

:09:54. > :09:59.to happen to Eliot because he has made such massive progress, it

:09:59. > :10:04.would be devastating to his future. Flintshire council claimed the

:10:04. > :10:06.autism unit has not worked. A report says it restricted the

:10:06. > :10:11.development of independence skills and left children with increased

:10:11. > :10:16.dependency on adult support. Those claims are denied by the professor

:10:16. > :10:19.from Bangor University who previously oversaw the work there.

:10:19. > :10:23.We have got good outcome data from those children and we have

:10:23. > :10:28.presented that data at conferences and should the data with the

:10:28. > :10:31.council and the school with a unit is based. I am pretty sure that

:10:31. > :10:37.information is available and clearly shows that children did

:10:37. > :10:45.very well. The chair of the Assembly's autism group, argue

:10:45. > :10:49.councillors have not been accurately informed. Absolutely.

:10:49. > :10:54.There are major questions to be asked about the evidence which

:10:54. > :10:58.appears to have been presented to elected members. A lack of any

:10:58. > :11:01.objective evidence based, suggestions rather than fact, about

:11:01. > :11:10.outcomes, about the numbers of children who need this kind of

:11:10. > :11:12.provision, confusion even over what autism is. A spokesman for the

:11:12. > :11:17.council said the unit can support 10 pupils but that demand has gone

:11:17. > :11:22.down, with only two pupils due to attend in the next school year.

:11:22. > :11:25.Molly Johnson learnt to communicate through sign language at the unit.

:11:25. > :11:30.Her questions -- parents questioned claimed that there is insufficient

:11:30. > :11:34.demand for it. We know from first- hand experience that they are not

:11:34. > :11:38.telling parents about the unit. If the parents don't know about the

:11:38. > :11:42.unit, they are not going to demand it. There was a joint venture

:11:42. > :11:45.between Wrexham and Flintshire put Wrexham have decided not to send

:11:45. > :11:50.any children there because it is closing, and Flintshire claim it is

:11:50. > :11:56.closing because no one is sending any children there. Councillors

:11:56. > :12:02.vote on the unit's future on 20th October. Supporters will try to

:12:02. > :12:06.persuade them a disservice to stay open. Gashed the service needs to

:12:06. > :12:08.stay open. And Flintshire Council has

:12:08. > :12:11.responded tonight, saying all parents of pupils with Autistic

:12:11. > :12:13.Spectrum Disorder in the area are made aware of the full range of

:12:14. > :12:17.provision available, including the unit at Westwood Primary School.

:12:17. > :12:20.Sarah Lambert is the Head of Policy from the National Autistic Society.

:12:20. > :12:22.What sort of pressure are you seeing on autism units like this

:12:22. > :12:27.one, given the tough financial situation for councils across

:12:27. > :12:33.Wales? There are financial constraints on councils at the

:12:33. > :12:38.moment but what of the action plan in Wales shows is that all local

:12:38. > :12:42.authorities should be gathering together local stakeholders and

:12:43. > :12:46.probably setting out plans for their local autism provision. If

:12:46. > :12:50.they do that properly, they can save money in the long run, because

:12:50. > :12:55.if you invest early in autism, it prevents other problems developing

:12:55. > :13:00.at a later stage. How important is it that services like this are

:13:01. > :13:06.accessible to people who need it? Parents tell us they want a range

:13:06. > :13:10.of provision for their children. Every child's autism is different.

:13:10. > :13:13.Some can flourish in mainstream education while others need

:13:13. > :13:17.specialist support. What is important is that there is that

:13:17. > :13:25.knowledge and expertise and that they can have a choice between

:13:25. > :13:28.provision, whether mainstream or The Church in Wales has offered to

:13:28. > :13:32.sell a Rhondda community its church for �1,000. Protesters have been

:13:32. > :13:35.camped out at All Saints in Maerdy for almost a month to try to get it

:13:35. > :13:45.reopened. Today, they've been offered the chance to buy it for a

:13:45. > :13:46.

:13:46. > :13:51.fraction of its market value. The parishioners have a big decision to

:13:51. > :13:58.make. They wanted 12 months to raise the money needed for repairs.

:13:58. > :14:02.At times, things have become heated. We are only asking for 12 months.

:14:02. > :14:11.The Archbishop of Wales's first offer to sell the church was turned

:14:11. > :14:15.down. Today's further concession means the community who can own it

:14:15. > :14:20.for �1,000. I think it is a brilliant opportunity for the

:14:20. > :14:25.community to own the church. Obviously, we need to take charge

:14:25. > :14:29.of it and to get it repaired and get it up to its former glory.

:14:29. > :14:34.many, it has become a second home. Up to this week, protesters have

:14:34. > :14:41.been sleeping at the church. But there are conditions attached to

:14:41. > :14:50.the sale. There are legalities involved. We are looking for

:14:50. > :14:55.somebody who is experienced in the law. We need legal advice.

:14:55. > :15:00.Church needs a lot of money to be spent done it. A survey this week

:15:00. > :15:06.indicated that making the building Structured a sound would cost less

:15:06. > :15:09.than the original estimate. But it has suffered from deterioration of

:15:09. > :15:15.the fabric on the outside and there is dampness getting into it. Other

:15:16. > :15:24.than that, it is in pretty good condition. There are a few areas

:15:24. > :15:28.where work is required. If they address the main areas to make sure

:15:28. > :15:32.it is weather type then that would go a long way. That would leave a

:15:32. > :15:36.lot of internal repairs to pay for. A public meeting are now be held on

:15:36. > :15:39.Monday to decide the next move. Still to come on Wales Today: All

:16:03. > :16:07.storing up to 10,500 tonnes of waste have escaped prison. Barry

:16:07. > :16:15.Hermon and Dennis Morgan ran Able Skips in Newport. They consistently

:16:15. > :16:18.breached the limits of waste they were allowed at their site. Able

:16:18. > :16:21.Skips of Newport was first issued with a permit to store controlled

:16:21. > :16:26.waste in 2004, but it wasn't long before it was in the sights of the

:16:26. > :16:28.Environment Agency. Between 2006 and 2008, despite warnings to clear

:16:28. > :16:31.waste, a prosecution and fines totalling almost �30,000, the

:16:31. > :16:41.company consistently exceeded it's allowance of 1,000 tonnes, at it's

:16:41. > :16:43.

:16:43. > :16:45.height reaching over 10,000. After admitting 20 charges related to

:16:45. > :16:55.environmental crimes, directors Barry Hermon and Dennis Barry were

:16:55. > :16:59.

:16:59. > :17:02.today given suspended prison sentences of 10 months each.

:17:03. > :17:06.think it sends an important message to anybody who is operating

:17:06. > :17:11.illegally that the Environment Agency is tenacious and we will

:17:11. > :17:14.bring them to court and justice will be done. From above, the scale

:17:15. > :17:17.of the waste kept at an industrial estate in Newport is clear. The BBC

:17:18. > :17:22.were taken onto the site by the Environment Agency in 2009. Waste

:17:22. > :17:25.that could no longer fit into the unit was piling up outside. At the

:17:25. > :17:33.height of the operation, the directors of Able Skips say they

:17:33. > :17:39.were taking in income of a thousand pounds a day. There is a level of

:17:39. > :17:41.activity at of this nature for that we have a great deal of

:17:41. > :17:45.intelligence and we will bring these cases to court when we find

:17:45. > :17:48.them. Both men have been ordered to pay back almost half a million

:17:48. > :17:51.pounds of assets between them. Dennis Barry, seen here leaving

:17:51. > :17:55.court, was told he escaped time in prison, in part due to the recent

:17:55. > :17:58.ill health of his fellow defendant. In sentencing the pair, Judge

:17:58. > :18:01.Nicholas Cooke QC said they had been motivated by greed and that

:18:01. > :18:06.nobody should have sympathy for them being left penniless due to

:18:06. > :18:14.this prosecution. He added that had this case been dealt with quicker,

:18:14. > :18:17.they would've faced a prison Jobs could be at risk if the

:18:17. > :18:20.National Eisteddfod is forced to make further savings. That's the

:18:21. > :18:23.warning tonight from its Chief Executive. Ahead of this evening's

:18:23. > :18:26.opening concert in Wrexham, Elfed Roberts says the festival has

:18:26. > :18:29.tightened its belt as much as it can. The Welsh Government says it's

:18:29. > :18:39.committed to the festival but the Eisteddfod must consider its

:18:39. > :18:41.

:18:41. > :18:45.priorities. We are hoping that people will turn up to see what a

:18:45. > :18:49.wonderful sight this is an to see everything we have prepared for

:18:49. > :18:53.them. We will take it from there. That is the only thing we can do.

:18:53. > :18:55.Derek and I will be at Wrexham next week, bringing you all the news

:18:55. > :18:59.from the Maes. Let's head to Swansea now and the

:19:26. > :19:29.Andy Powell and Jonathan Thomas have been re-called to the squad.

:19:29. > :19:32.The pair had been excluded from Wales' second training camp in

:19:32. > :19:40.Poland, but they'll now be available for selection for the two

:19:40. > :19:43.matches against England and one against Argentina in August.

:19:59. > :20:02.has agreed personal terms to join them on a three-year contract. The

:20:02. > :20:10.26-year-old striker is expected in the city on Tuesday for a medical

:20:10. > :20:19.and could face Celtic a day later. Meanwhile Cardiff's new striker

:20:19. > :20:22.Kenny Miller has finally been unveiled.

:20:25. > :20:29.Swansea City now seem on the verge of adding another quality striker

:20:29. > :20:33.to their squad. Leroy Lita is 26 years old and a former England

:20:33. > :20:36.under 21 international with a decent goal-scoring record. He'll

:20:36. > :20:41.have a medical at Swansea next week after agreeing a fee of �1.75

:20:41. > :20:45.million with Middlesbough. Elsewhere Cardiff City's new

:20:46. > :20:48.striker was introduced to the media today. Scottish international Kenny

:20:48. > :20:57.Miller explained why he joined after a short-lived spell at

:20:58. > :21:07.Turkish side Bursaspoor. For me, it was an opportunity to get across

:21:08. > :21:10.

:21:10. > :21:14.here. I was really excited to come and speak to the manager. Everybody

:21:14. > :21:16.speaks good words about them. They have a fantastic reputation. Fans

:21:16. > :21:24.are hoping he'll now form a prolific partnership with another

:21:24. > :21:29.recent signing, Robert Earnshaw. They are both good players and they

:21:29. > :21:35.are very experienced. They will make a good combination. This year,

:21:35. > :21:40.they have both captained their country and that speaks volumes. We

:21:40. > :21:43.have to cut and wanting to come to play to -- with us. It's only nine

:21:43. > :21:46.days until Cardiff's first competitive match away at West Ham.

:21:46. > :21:48.But tomorrow they'll have real test when Italian Seria A side Parma are

:21:48. > :21:51.the visitors to the Cardiff City Stadium.

:21:51. > :21:55.All this week on Wales Today we've been marking a year to go until the

:21:55. > :21:58.Olympic Games by looking at five Welsh hopefuls, all with a dream of

:21:58. > :22:01.getting there. One lady who spends most of her time here at the

:22:01. > :22:05.National Pool is swimmer Jazz Carlin. She spends almost 24 hours

:22:05. > :22:08.in this pool every week. She's at the World Championships at the

:22:08. > :22:11.moment in China where she's been having a tough time, but they don't

:22:11. > :22:21.call her the pitbull for nothing. She's determined to be in London

:22:21. > :22:22.

:22:22. > :22:25.next year. She is the glamourous face of swimming. But it is the

:22:25. > :22:30.pool where she is still most comfortable. With the Olympic Games

:22:30. > :22:36.less than one year away, it is all she can think about. It gives you

:22:36. > :22:42.goose bumps. I have been two major meets and the an Olympic Games is

:22:42. > :22:47.the big one. Fingers crossed I can be there. Training means 23 hours a

:22:47. > :22:52.week in the water and around five hours in the gym and six hours of

:22:52. > :22:57.physio in preparation of the big competitions. Illness means she has

:22:57. > :23:06.had a difficult World Championships. She failed to reach the final of

:23:06. > :23:16.the 800 metres today. She has won silver with team GB. For Wales, she

:23:16. > :23:20.has had success at the Commonwealth Games. Everyone says is at a bad

:23:20. > :23:25.thing to have such strong competition. That is a good thing.

:23:26. > :23:29.It spurs me on even further. Racing the best in the world in my home

:23:29. > :23:34.country events definitely helps because it prepares me to face the

:23:34. > :23:40.rest of the world. She is under the guidance of a world renowned

:23:40. > :23:50.Californian coach. His sessions may be like a maths session but they

:23:50. > :23:52.

:23:52. > :24:02.work. Right now one of their best events she is ranked 5th or 6th in

:24:02. > :24:02.

:24:02. > :24:08.the world. Realistically, she could have a shot at her a medal if she

:24:08. > :24:12.stays healthy and trains well. started swimming at a young age and

:24:13. > :24:19.says family support is vital. But not everyone in the family is a

:24:19. > :24:24.water baby. My mother hates swimming. She is scared of water.

:24:24. > :24:30.My father likes to come for a swim. But they do manage to come up and

:24:30. > :24:37.watch me a swim. It is nice to have that support from them and to know

:24:37. > :24:41.your home town or being around you and they say well done. The Olympic

:24:41. > :24:48.trials our next match in the Olympic pool. She desperately wants

:24:48. > :24:55.to be there. It is definitely what we are hoping for. We have been

:24:55. > :24:57.training our whole lives to go out there.

:24:57. > :25:07.Just down the road at St Helen's Glamorgan's cricketers having a

:25:07. > :25:26.

:25:26. > :25:29.Plenty of action here tonight. Swimming club racing this weekend.

:25:29. > :25:39.Back to the studio. The weather's looking good for the

:25:39. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:47.weekend for most of us. Here's It has been a pretty cloudy day

:25:47. > :25:50.today. The satellite picture picked it up very nicely. Thick cloud

:25:50. > :25:57.sitting across Wales. Some bright as developing in the West.

:25:57. > :26:02.Overnight, the whole mass of cloud slowly shifts southwards. It will

:26:02. > :26:07.leave some clear spells. With the clearer skies and the light winds,

:26:07. > :26:11.this is where we will have some of the lowest temperatures. Further

:26:11. > :26:17.south, we keep the remnants of the weather front and a thicker cloud.

:26:17. > :26:21.A milder night to come. For the first half of the weekend, it is

:26:21. > :26:26.dominated by a high pressure. It is trying to keep this weather front

:26:26. > :26:29.at bay. It looks as if it will be successful by Sunday. It may be

:26:29. > :26:39.cloudy on Saturday to start. The cloud will break and sunshine will

:26:39. > :26:41.

:26:41. > :26:47.come through. For July can -- for July, it to return pretty warm. A

:26:47. > :26:53.fine end to the day and a lovely evening. Overnight, it stays

:26:53. > :26:57.largely dry. Overnight lows dipping to around 12 Celsius. On Sunday,

:26:57. > :27:03.the sign of that weather front starts to approach from the West.

:27:03. > :27:06.Thicker cloud developing throughout the day. Cooler in the West and a

:27:07. > :27:15.few spots of rain. The best of any bright s will be in the east. For

:27:15. > :27:20.the weekend, not looking too bad. It will turn more and settled on
