:00:22. > :00:25.BBC Wales are taking part in industrial action. The walk-out
:00:25. > :00:28.began at midnight and is the second of two, one-day strikes over
:00:28. > :00:30.potential redundancies. The BBC says it's trying to reduce the need
:00:31. > :00:40.for compulsory redundancies, but that it's likely to be impossible
:00:40. > :00:43.to avoid them. It has apologised for any disruption to programmes.
:00:43. > :00:46.Worshippers fighting to save their church in Rhondda from closure are
:00:46. > :00:51.meeting this evening to decide whether or not to accept an offer
:00:51. > :00:54.to sell it to them. The Church in Wales has offered parishioners at
:00:54. > :00:58.All Saints Church in Maerdy the chance to buy the building for

:01:08. > :01:12.try to get it reopened. Alan Main objective is for the Church to
:01:12. > :01:16.remain here. -- Alan Main objective. We want to support the worshippers
:01:16. > :01:22.see on a Sunday, and every day if they want to worship here. That is
:01:22. > :01:27.what our main objective is. There are lots of legalities surrounding
:01:27. > :01:29.that, so we have to look into that now. Repair work on the Brynglas
:01:29. > :01:32.tunnel is continuing following the fire which severely damaged the
:01:32. > :01:35.tunnel last week. The first westbound closure of the tunnel
:01:35. > :01:37.will start tonight with the carriageway due to be closed from
:01:37. > :01:43.8:00pm, re-opening by 6:00am the following morning. The work is
:01:43. > :01:45.scheduled to last up to a week. A witness in the original
:01:45. > :01:49.investigation into the murder of Cardiff prostitute Lynette White
:01:49. > :01:52.has told a court he changed his story about what he had seen the
:01:52. > :01:55.night she died. Mark Grommek, who lived in the flat above Miss White,
:01:55. > :01:58.said police pressure had driven him to the verge of a nervous breakdown.
:01:58. > :02:00.The original prosecution resulted in the wrongful conviction of three
:02:00. > :02:03.innocent men. Eight police officers involved in that investigation are
:02:03. > :02:11.accused of conspiring to pervert the course of justice. They've all

:02:13. > :02:17.An independent Texas-based company has bought the Chevron oil refinery
:02:17. > :02:19.in Pembroke in a �447 million deal. It is hoped the sale to a
:02:19. > :02:29.subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation will secure the
:02:29. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:33.refinery's future. It employs 1,400 people and is worth an estimated
:02:33. > :02:37.�1.5 million a week to Pembrokeshire's economy.
:02:37. > :02:40.The National Eisteddfod is underway in Wrexham all week. In this
:02:40. > :02:42.afternoon's crowning ceremony, the winning poet was Geraint Lloyd Owen,
:02:42. > :02:45.a former teacher who now works in publishing. Clearly emotional
:02:45. > :02:48.during the ceremony, he attributed his success to his mother, who died
:02:48. > :02:57.exactly 22 years ago and the motivation of having a younger
:02:57. > :03:00.brother who's won twice before at the National Eisteddfod.

:03:09. > :03:13.skippered Wales in their defeat to the Barbarians two months ago,

:03:40. > :03:44.With the weather forecast for Wales, August has got off to a
:03:44. > :03:48.disappointing start, cloudy and Monday, and it will stay like that
:03:48. > :03:52.for the next few days. A few showers and the forecast as well.
:03:52. > :03:57.Plenty of cloud across the country with mist and hill fog. Outbreaks

:04:05. > :04:11.Celsius. An improving story tonight. The rain in the east will clear
:04:11. > :04:15.away, then the country brightens up. Most of the country dry, but not
:04:15. > :04:20.everywhere. A few showers breaking out during the afternoon. A warm
:04:20. > :04:25.and humid day tomorrow with top temperatures of 23 Celsius. Colder
:04:25. > :04:29.on the coast where it stays Misti. The wins will remain light. If you
:04:29. > :04:35.are off to Wrexham, it will brighten up with a chance of a
:04:35. > :04:39.share in the afternoon. Wednesday will continue warm and humid.
:04:39. > :04:47.Thundery showers breaking out in the afternoon. On Thursday it turns
:04:47. > :04:50.unsettled, so rain and showers. We'll have a full round up of all
