The takeover from the terraces. Wrexham fans are set to get the

:00:53.:00:55.

green light tonight. We're live at the Racecourse.

:00:55.:00:59.

The hospital sandwich protest. Volunteers threaten to quit as a

:00:59.:01:05.

local supplier is ditched. I don't think they should take jobs away

:01:05.:01:09.

from the vicinity where they are. And Cardiff see off Huddersfield,

:01:09.:01:19.
:01:19.:01:20.

but a shock for Swansea as they Good evening. Senior figures in

:01:20.:01:23.

Pembrokeshire council have been accused of playing down the

:01:23.:01:28.

seriousness of reports criticising its child-protection record. Welsh

:01:28.:01:30.

Government ministers said they should concentrate on looking after

:01:30.:01:35.

the county's children rather than the council's reputation. Our Welsh

:01:35.:01:45.

Affairs Editor Vaughan Roderick is at the Senedd. They sound like very

:01:45.:01:50.

serious allegations. What are the Government claiming?

:01:51.:01:56.

In all my years in this job, I have never seen a letter quite as blunt

:01:56.:02:02.

as this one. It was sent to the leader of Pembrokeshire Council. It

:02:02.:02:08.

was sent to him by Leighton Andrews and Gwenda Thomas. This goes back

:02:08.:02:13.

to two reports. The first was triggered by the sickening case of

:02:13.:02:17.

this man. You may remember him as the Pembrokeshire headmaster found

:02:17.:02:23.

guilty of a series of sex assaults on children. That triggered a joint

:02:23.:02:26.

report by the Education Inspectorate and the social

:02:26.:02:29.

services inspectorate into Pembrokeshire Council's child-

:02:29.:02:35.

protection measures. There was also a second report into education in

:02:35.:02:40.

Pembrokeshire. Both of which were highly critical of Pembrokeshire's

:02:41.:02:45.

record on child protection. This letter says that Jon Davies and the

:02:45.:02:50.

council in general reacted to this report by a making misleading

:02:50.:02:53.

statements and playing down the seriousness of the allegation and

:02:53.:02:57.

possibly most seriously, by not survive -- supplying the police

:02:57.:03:02.

with information they had asked for for some inquiries they were

:03:02.:03:05.

carrying out. Put bluntly, the government says the council has

:03:05.:03:09.

worried more about its reputation than about the children of the

:03:09.:03:16.

county. You raze Leighton Andrews. If I was a parent in Pembrokeshire,

:03:16.:03:18.

I would want to be sure that the leader of Pembrokeshire Council was

:03:19.:03:22.

sorting out his officers and to ensuring that all systems were

:03:22.:03:25.

probably in place rather than worrying about the reputation of

:03:26.:03:33.

the council. How has the council reacted? I think they were

:03:34.:03:37.

initially stunned. They any got the letter the same time it was

:03:37.:03:43.

released to the media. At the time, they said they would reply in full

:03:43.:03:46.

tomorrow. But they did add that they thought there would

:03:46.:03:52.

inaccuracies in the government's letters. The government said, come

:03:52.:03:55.

back to us and tell us what the inaccuracies are. The council did

:03:55.:03:59.

not do that. Later on in the afternoon, they decided they would

:03:59.:04:03.

have to tackle it head on. Jon Davies agree to give interviews and

:04:03.:04:09.

he was remarkably blunt and very angry. It is now becoming, for some

:04:09.:04:13.

reason or other, very much a personal issue. In my view, this is

:04:13.:04:19.

no way to run a country. It is no way to deal with issues. We have

:04:19.:04:25.

got issues as far as safeguarding our children and what I have

:04:25.:04:29.

witnessed in regard to the commitment of those working in

:04:29.:04:34.

Pembrokeshire, we are very keen to put it right. Pembrokeshire is not

:04:34.:04:39.

the only council under the cosh. Know. Today, the government

:04:39.:04:45.

announced the names of the people who will be running education in a

:04:45.:04:49.

blind eye Gwent. Jon Davies is not the only one in local government to

:04:49.:04:56.

think that it is becoming a bit politicised and a bit too close to

:04:56.:05:01.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission will look into the

:05:01.:05:04.

events which led to a man shooting his estranged wife at a

:05:04.:05:07.

hairdressers in Newport on Friday. Darren Williams' body was found in

:05:07.:05:10.

woods hours after he shot and injured Rachel Williams. Today, 92-

:05:10.:05:12.

year-old great-grandmother Connie Evans, who was also injured at

:05:12.:05:14.

Carol-Anns Hair salon, has been telling our reporter Nick Palit

:05:14.:05:22.

about her terrifying ordeal. Five days on and Connie Evans is

:05:22.:05:25.

still in pain from the gunshot pellets that pierced her leg and

:05:25.:05:28.

back. The events of Friday afternoon will be etched on her

:05:28.:05:32.

mind forever, when a normal trip to the hairdresser saw her caught in

:05:32.:05:41.

the crossfire of an angry gunman and his estranged wife. As I was

:05:41.:05:48.

about to leave the shop, this big man came in. I said to myself, he

:05:48.:05:54.

never once his haircut, surely. And with that, he grabbed hold of

:05:54.:06:02.

Rachel and said, I love you, Rachel. Now, take this. He was punching her.

:06:02.:06:09.

He was hitting her, kicking her. And then the game went off and she

:06:09.:06:15.

fell to the floor. I was frightened, but I did not realise how quickly

:06:15.:06:24.

it was down. To make my senses work. I was not crying. I did not panic.

:06:24.:06:30.

I think I was very brave. As the gunshots rang out in this

:06:30.:06:33.

hairdressers, Connie fell to the ground hitting her head on a table,

:06:33.:06:40.

her lower body peppered with lead shot. I was bruised everywhere.

:06:40.:06:49.

Right at my back. It was so sharp. And then my head started bleeding

:06:49.:06:54.

all over my clothes. 13 of these pellets were removed from Connie

:06:54.:06:57.

and she's still in pain as some could not be located. She'll

:06:57.:07:04.

eventually need to go back to hospital. They took a big one out

:07:04.:07:09.

of year and they took two little ones from there. There are a few

:07:09.:07:13.

more travelling around, but they have not come to the surface, where

:07:13.:07:18.

I can have them taken out. One woman is still being treated in

:07:18.:07:20.

hospital for gunshot wounds. estranged husband Darren Williams

:07:20.:07:24.

was found dead in woods close to the scene of the shooting late on

:07:24.:07:26.

Friday night. An inquest into his death will open tomorrow. Meanwhile,

:07:26.:07:29.

Connie says she just feels lucky to be alive.

:07:29.:07:32.

It's a big day for both rugby and football based at the Racecourse

:07:32.:07:34.

ground in Wrexham. Supporters of the rugby league side, the

:07:34.:07:38.

Crusaders, are bidding to keep the club alive. More on that later. But

:07:38.:07:42.

first, it's decision day for fans of Wrexham Football Club. Let's

:07:42.:07:44.

head live to the Racecourse now and join Matthew Richards

:07:44.:07:51.

Thanks. In an hour's time, members of the Wrexham Supporters' Trust

:07:51.:07:54.

will be asked to vote on a plan to buy the club. They've overtaken

:07:54.:07:57.

rival bidders who they feared would sell off this ground, but now they

:07:57.:08:01.

have to decide if they're willing to make the move from the stands to

:08:01.:08:05.

the boardroom. Members of the trust will decide

:08:05.:08:08.

tonight if they're happy to go ahead with the purchase of Wrexham

:08:08.:08:11.

FC and become custodians of one of the oldest teams in the football

:08:15.:08:22.

dream a reality won't be easy. whole area, after the Troubles,

:08:22.:08:26.

trials and tribulations we have suffered over the last few years,

:08:26.:08:32.

we are crying out for something new, something different. That is

:08:32.:08:38.

community ownership. We believe that can lead to a bright future.

:08:38.:08:42.

new era is in sight, but it's been a turbulent year. Owners Geoff Moss

:08:42.:08:44.

and Ian Roberts announced in January that they wanted to sell

:08:44.:08:47.

the club saying they'd spent millions, but still suffered

:08:47.:08:49.

personal abuse from some fans. In March, a number of interested

:08:49.:08:51.

parties, including businesswoman Stephanie Booth, and solicitor

:08:51.:08:54.

Colin Poole bid for the club. The Revenue and Customs office issued a

:08:54.:08:58.

winding up petition in April, saying Wrexham owed �200,000 in tax.

:08:58.:09:03.

That was paid by the club and loyal donors. In May, the Wrexham

:09:03.:09:06.

Supporters Trust were one of two bidders in the running until Colin

:09:06.:09:10.

Poole pulled out after a confrontation with fans. In July,

:09:10.:09:12.

players refused to play in two friendlies after not getting their

:09:12.:09:16.

wages. Earlier this month, Glyndwr University stepped in to buy the

:09:16.:09:25.

Racecourse, its next door neighbour. The supporters have to recognise

:09:25.:09:30.

that a football club is a business and therefore, they will have to

:09:30.:09:35.

wear a two hat in a new role. There will be out and out supporters will

:09:35.:09:39.

be at absolutely delighted to be in charge of the club they have

:09:39.:09:42.

supported for many years. But business is all about good

:09:43.:09:47.

management. Fans have taken over clubs both big and small before.

:09:47.:09:49.

European Champions Barcelona are run by over 150,000 members who

:09:50.:09:53.

elect a president and a board of directors to manage the club In the

:09:53.:09:56.

Football League, both Exeter and AFC Wimbledon are owned by their

:09:56.:09:59.

supporters trusts and the same is true at Merthyr Town. Fans took

:09:59.:10:01.

over after Merthyr Tydfil folded last year. Proof that passion can

:10:02.:10:11.

bring a club back from the brink. Supporters direct is an

:10:11.:10:15.

organisation that helps fans who want to get involved more with

:10:15.:10:21.

their local clubs. I am joined by a gentleman from supporters trust.

:10:21.:10:28.

has been a roller-coaster journey for Wrexham supporters. They have

:10:28.:10:33.

been absolutely first class. In the early days, it was about

:10:33.:10:36.

campaigning and making sure the Racecourse ground stayed where it

:10:36.:10:42.

was. More recently, it has been about sharing some of the knowledge

:10:42.:10:47.

of the 25 also a supporter going to collapse that once exactly what

:10:47.:10:51.

Wrexham went. What are the advantages of being a community

:10:51.:10:55.

club? We have done some research on this in recent years and there are

:10:56.:11:01.

some real benefits. If you get the model right. At Chester, the

:11:01.:11:06.

attendance there, they have really got that community feel, people

:11:06.:11:10.

realise they are the sole and joint owners of the football club and

:11:10.:11:14.

their attendants has gone up immensely. Sponsors come on board

:11:15.:11:20.

because they like the vibe of the club. Fans are generally more

:11:20.:11:24.

resilient because they generally feared it is their club. Can clubs

:11:24.:11:29.

be really successful owned by the fans? Completely. There is no magic

:11:29.:11:35.

wand, but we have seen last season, Wimbledon went up sustainably. They

:11:35.:11:41.

have not borrowed money to do that. Exeter City had the most successful

:11:41.:11:48.

season in the history last season. From football fans to rugby league

:11:48.:11:54.

fans. We found it stay that Crusaders will be bidding for a

:11:54.:11:58.

place in the co-operative championship last season. The here

:11:58.:12:01.

they would enable for financial reasons to take part in the

:12:01.:12:03.

Superleague, but now they have enough support to take the club

:12:03.:12:09.

into the future. One of the concerns we had is that having

:12:09.:12:13.

never paid -- played a championship that be the, we were not sure about

:12:13.:12:20.

the level of support. We have had over 4,000 messages of support.

:12:20.:12:25.

Today, we told them that we intend to apply for they place in the

:12:25.:12:29.

championship. The hard work now begins on preparing our business

:12:29.:12:34.

plan. We are very excited. For the fans have jumped on board since we

:12:34.:12:38.

lost our Super League licence. I think they have realised that we

:12:38.:12:46.

have got something good and a to not one to lead -- to lose it.

:12:46.:12:49.

A 25-year old man has appeared before magistrates in Caerphilly

:12:49.:12:52.

charged with the murder of 60-year- old Jerzy Dubiniec. His body was

:12:52.:12:55.

discovered in the Pill area of Newport in the early hours of

:12:55.:12:58.

Saturday morning. The baker from Poland was visiting Wales. Gavin

:12:58.:13:01.

Mills will appear in court again tomorrow.

:13:01.:13:03.

Britain's biggest motor insurer, Admiral, which is based in South

:13:03.:13:06.

Wales, has recorded record half year profits before tax of �160.6

:13:06.:13:13.

million. The company now has more than 4,000 staff in Cardiff and

:13:13.:13:17.

Newport, who'll be given a �1500 share bonus. Profits were boosted

:13:17.:13:22.

by rising sales of car insurance and higher premiums.

:13:22.:13:26.

An RAF helicopter crew from Valley on Anglesey has been involved in a

:13:26.:13:29.

dramatic rescue at Porth Dafarch near Trearddur Bay on the island. A

:13:29.:13:32.

man got into difficulty whilst coasteering. Luckily for him, the

:13:32.:13:35.

search and rescue crew were training just half a mile away.

:13:35.:13:38.

They were there in less than a minute before winching the casualty

:13:38.:13:46.

The row over the supply of sandwiches to a North Wales

:13:46.:13:52.

hospital he is Kal lated today when WRVS volunteers took their protest

:13:52.:13:56.

to the streets. A charity-run tea bar has cancelled its contract with

:13:56.:14:02.

the local Dell deli and is switching to a national supplier.

:14:02.:14:05.

Some volunteers are threatening to quit.

:14:05.:14:10.

The charity is about helping people stay active in the community. But

:14:10.:14:15.

the WVRS probably didn't have this activity in mind. Volunteers are

:14:15.:14:20.

angry a change in supplier is putting jobs at risk. Some are

:14:20.:14:25.

prepared to vote with their feet. I'm not going to work to support an

:14:25.:14:28.

organisation which doesn't take any notice of volunteers which have

:14:28.:14:35.

worked for them for 40 30 years. it is working locally, leave it

:14:35.:14:40.

alone. Why change it.? Local people need jobs. The changes have been

:14:40.:14:47.

brought in across 13 hospitals in Wales. The WVR say switching

:14:47.:14:56.

supplies to Ginsters is more cost eefeblgtive. It means another six

:14:57.:15:01.

people unemployed in this man's community. He's been amazed by the

:15:01.:15:04.

support of the volunteers. These people come here for the social

:15:04.:15:10.

side of it. They've lost partners. It is not just serves sandwiches

:15:10.:15:16.

and cups of tea. It is the social side of it, somebody to confide in,

:15:16.:15:24.

talk to. The WVR S says it will supply consist tenancy across share

:15:24.:15:29.

shops. On patrol to protect a World Heritage Site blighted by fly-

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:43.

First, universities need to be more a gresive in trying to attract top

:15:43.:15:50.

academics to Wales. Wales chief scientists says we're missing out

:15:50.:15:54.

on millions of pounds of research funding. This is the kind of

:15:54.:15:59.

cutting edge research the Welsh Government wants to see more of.

:15:59.:16:03.

The Institute of Life Science? Swan sea university opened four years

:16:03.:16:10.

ago. It hosts 30 hi-tech companies and has Cree iate the ed hi-tech

:16:10.:16:14.

jobs. An extension is already being built it is so successful. The

:16:14.:16:17.

scientists are working on new treatment for asthma. Securing

:16:17.:16:25.

funding be can be difficult. Wales only receives about 3-4 % of what's

:16:25.:16:28.

on offer. It is crucial. Within institutions it is very important.

:16:28.:16:32.

We have very important collaborations with the college of

:16:32.:16:36.

science and engineering here in Swansea university. Extern alley,

:16:36.:16:41.

nationally and in ter nationally. An artificial pump for the heart.

:16:42.:16:46.

One of the many projects underway here. To get more research funding

:16:46.:16:53.

flowing across Wales, it is said we need to poach top academics from

:16:53.:16:58.

elsewhere. We take 3-4% of the council income. We're 5% of the

:16:58.:17:03.

population. It is a significant difference. It requires investment.

:17:03.:17:07.

The Welsh universities have been significantly underinvested

:17:07.:17:11.

compared to their English and Scottish counterparts for some time.

:17:11.:17:18.

If Wales is only getting 3% We're missing out on tens of millions of

:17:18.:17:21.

pounds. Perhaps now there is a case to be made. It is the elephant in

:17:21.:17:25.

the room for many universities and politicians, there's a case to be

:17:25.:17:30.

made to go to the UK Government and say why can't we have research

:17:30.:17:34.

council funding which would create hundreds of jobs in this sector?

:17:34.:17:41.

Why not have that devolved to Wales as we've higher education funding?

:17:41.:17:44.

Repeating success stories like it this is vital to the economy's

:17:44.:17:49.

future. But money's tight and the competition for the top talent is

:17:49.:17:53.

intense. The pressure's now on the universities to attract big names

:17:53.:17:57.

and more big money. It was once an industrial landscape.

:17:57.:18:03.

Now, it's a World Heritage Site. But fly-tipping, off-road bikes and

:18:03.:18:13.

grass fires are spoiling the countryside around Blaenavon. It is

:18:13.:18:18.

quite a view, perhaps a rather daunting one for PC Rob Maddox. It

:18:18.:18:23.

is his job to cut crime in one of Wales' most beautiful and

:18:23.:18:27.

historically significant landscapes. For the past eight months, his

:18:27.:18:32.

office has been his four wheel drive. The World Heritage Site and

:18:32.:18:37.

the wildlife too here offering unrivalled view views from his

:18:37.:18:42.

window. As Landscape Crime Officer, he's tackling everything from metal

:18:42.:18:48.

they have, to fly-tipping. We're going to an area where we've had

:18:48.:18:52.

trouble with fly tipping in the past. We're going to see if there

:18:52.:18:57.

are any new fly-tip sites and found evidence if somebody's dumped stuff

:18:57.:19:02.

there. We found this, mat rests, old carpets, children's toys, as

:19:02.:19:08.

bests to, all dumped in the past few days. It is lazy ness. There's

:19:08.:19:12.

no excuse for dumping here. It is ugly, spoils the beautiful views

:19:12.:19:18.

around here. There's no need. Maddox is part the Forgotten

:19:18.:19:24.

Landscapes project a scheme to help con serve the environment and on 80

:19:24.:19:28.

square kilometres of land. Since December, there's been ten

:19:28.:19:35.

prosecutions for fly-tipping, more than 40 off-road bikes have been

:19:35.:19:39.

seized. We stopped to see the damage those off-road bikes can do.

:19:39.:19:45.

You've the lush Heather and moorland here. Here, you've the

:19:45.:19:51.

scarring of the landscape. It scars and looks bad and alters the water

:19:51.:19:57.

table on the landscape. Others used abandoneded mines as a quick source

:19:57.:20:03.

of quash. Metal theft is big business. PC Maddox rely s on

:20:03.:20:08.

people living nearby to help him out. We've set up an intelligence

:20:08.:20:11.

system. A lot of farmers and landowners and residents in the

:20:11.:20:16.

area, if they see anything suspicious, they have mow mobile

:20:16.:20:21.

and will alert me to it. It is that team work PC Maddox hopes the job

:20:21.:20:25.

he's so passionate about will be a success.

:20:25.:20:29.

It is a big night for Wrexham football fans. Now here's the sport

:20:29.:20:32.

with Claire. Swansea City's manager described

:20:32.:20:38.

last night's Carling Cup defeat as his most disappointing. Brendan

:20:38.:20:43.

Rodgers warns some players have played their way out of contention

:20:43.:20:48.

for the weekend. Brendan Rodgers made nine changes

:20:48.:20:53.

to the side which drew against Wigan on Saturday but still

:20:53.:20:57.

expected his players to be too strong for Shrewsbury. They took a

:20:57.:21:02.

fortunate lead early on but Shrewsbury rallied and were level

:21:02.:21:08.

soon after. Mark Wright gave the home side a deserved lead. Despite

:21:08.:21:13.

some Swansea pressure, Nicky wrapped up a memorable win for the

:21:13.:21:18.

League Two side. After the match, the Swansea manager did not hold

:21:18.:21:22.

back in his criticism. We've lost games in the time I've been here

:21:22.:21:27.

but they've normally come on the back of good performances. This has

:21:27.:21:30.

been the most disappointing one. In the last week or so, there's a

:21:31.:21:37.

history of making a couple of games. The players will never forget. I

:21:37.:21:40.

also told them not a forget tonight. Make sure you tell your

:21:40.:21:44.

grandchildren you played in this game. At the Cardiff City Stadium

:21:44.:21:49.

there were goals galore. The League One outfit hit back in the second

:21:49.:21:55.

half and with just two minutes to go, they led 3-2. But, deep into

:21:55.:22:01.

injury time, done coyy levelled matters at 3-3. A goal in each half

:22:01.:22:07.

of extra time, including a second for Cowie finally saw the Bluebirds

:22:07.:22:12.

through. Still running freely and strongly to make sure we managed to

:22:12.:22:18.

get the draw and take us into extra time. After that, making sure that

:22:18.:22:23.

in extra time we kept a calm head. The draw for the third round of the

:22:23.:22:26.

Carling Cup which will feature the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal

:22:26.:22:31.

and Chelsea takes place on Saturday. The Wales football side shruched to

:22:31.:22:37.

their lowest placing since the FIFA rankings were spro Decembered to

:22:37.:22:41.

117 in the world just below Haiti and North Korea.

:22:41.:22:47.

Wales fly to New Zealand a week today for the Rugby World Cup. The

:22:47.:22:53.

first match is in wellington on September 11. Jonathan Thomas says

:22:53.:22:59.

it is time to focus on his season with the Ospreys as he didn't make

:22:59.:23:03.

the Wales team. There were a lot of disappointed guise. If there are

:23:03.:23:10.

injuries, may get the call. We've trained hard this summer. Not to

:23:10.:23:17.

make the squad is disappointing. Just look forward to having a good

:23:17.:23:21.

season with the Ospreys. After the World Cup, Wales will play

:23:21.:23:26.

Australia at the Millennium Stadium on December 3rd. One for the diary.

:23:27.:23:31.

Archaeologists say it is a discovery which sheds new Lydon

:23:31.:23:36.

Wales' role in the Roman Empire. A team from Cardiff university

:23:36.:23:46.
:23:46.:23:46.

uncovered a 2000 -year-old hash our outside Caerleon. Where Romans once

:23:46.:23:55.

reigne ed archaeologists now dig. The discoveries here have exceeded

:23:55.:23:59.

all expectations. We can now place the fortress within its immediate

:23:59.:24:04.

landscape. It had a series of large public buildings built on the

:24:04.:24:08.

south-western side of it which appears to suggest there were

:24:08.:24:13.

marketplaces, temples and bath houses. We believe we've located

:24:13.:24:20.

the port. It allows us to see Caerleon in a wider sense. This is

:24:20.:24:24.

how the port could have looked with ships helping bring soldiers and

:24:24.:24:28.

goods from the Roman world to Wales. This port is facilitating the

:24:28.:24:35.

legion to bring their stocks and supplies up the river so they could

:24:35.:24:39.

move into the administrative centres up the top and move grain,

:24:39.:24:46.

goods, and whenever else is coming into the port. This is the largest

:24:46.:24:50.

discovery in all of Roman Britain. The site is about the size of six

:24:50.:24:55.

football pitches. Along with buildings, other objects have been

:24:55.:25:01.

found shedding light on how the Romans lived. We can reconstruct

:25:01.:25:05.

the animals they farmed around here and that they brought into Caerleon

:25:05.:25:11.

in order to eat or get leather. They were found of oysters which

:25:11.:25:17.

they may have got locally. Joining the dig today, Tony Robinson and

:25:17.:25:21.

his Time Team. It is the only place in Britain where you can see a

:25:21.:25:25.

Roman barracks. There were three properly built Roman barracks. The

:25:25.:25:29.

other two under present day York and Chester. This is a real

:25:29.:25:33.

fantastic snapshot of what military life would have been like in Roman

:25:33.:25:38.

times. They'll be digging here for another week. But the Roman secrets

:25:38.:25:42.

unearthed here are to be buried. These fields will soon be farmland

:25:42.:25:45.

once again. At the this are there for the next

:25:46.:25:49.

week they'll pay particular attention to tonight's weather.

:25:49.:25:53.

is looking mixed. I'm hopeful by the time we reach the weekend it

:25:53.:25:55.

the time we reach the weekend it will improve.

:25:55.:26:02.

Here's the extend of the rain. We'd heavy bursts, 12mm in three hours.

:26:02.:26:06.

This evening, a fine evening for many of us especially in the west.

:26:06.:26:10.

Lovely sunshine to end the day. Overnight, a few coastal showers.

:26:10.:26:15.

The rainband just nudging parts of the border. In between, it will be

:26:15.:26:19.

dry. Overnight temperatures between 8-11 Celsius. The winds should be

:26:19.:26:24.

light. The pressure chart for tomorrow showing an area of low

:26:24.:26:28.

pressure over Ireland. Another unsettled day. First thing in the

:26:28.:26:31.

morning we'll see showers over parts of the south and west.

:26:31.:26:34.

They'll become heavy through the day and push north and eastwards.

:26:34.:26:38.

The winds are light tomorrow. If you get kautd under a shower, it

:26:38.:26:45.

could last a while. Some areas getting away with a with a dry day.

:26:45.:26:49.

Highs of 19 Celsius. Tomorrow evening, becoming dry. Showers

:26:49.:26:54.

becoming confined to coastal areas. Further inland, dry but cloudy.

:26:54.:26:59.

Overnight temperatures 8-11 Celsius. The winds again lithe into the

:26:59.:27:03.

early hours of Friday morning. A disappointing day on Friday. We'll

:27:03.:27:08.

see longer spells of rain on Friday. The sunshine hard to find. Saturday

:27:08.:27:12.

morning could be wet. As we go into Saturday afternoon and Sunday and

:27:12.:27:17.

Monday, it is looking drier and brighter. Hopeful for the bank

:27:17.:27:20.

holiday weekend. Thank you very much. A reminder of

:27:20.:27:25.

our top story. The Education Minister Leighton Andrews hasn't

:27:25.:27:30.

ruled out taking aex against Pembrokeshire Children's Services

:27:30.:27:37.

after accusing them to -- the council's leader say John Davis

:27:37.:27:40.

says the attack is politically motivated.

:27:40.:27:45.

Tomorrow, find out how pupils across Wales fared in their GCSEs.

:27:45.:27:53.

We'll be out filming early as they get those all-important results.
