Our other stories this evening. The gap in GCSE performance narrows | 0:00:33 | 0:00:42 | |
with the rest of the UK and the number of A stars is up. They ease | 0:00:42 | 0:00:48 | |
are hardened criminals postop Cracking down on metal thefts. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:56 | |
We're out on patrol with a special police operation. We had just had a | 0:00:56 | 0:01:02 | |
call about a scrum dealer but the police want to check out. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
And this is the devastation metal thieves leave behind. Now the | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
charity running this miners institute has to find money for the | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
repairs. And cockles, Welsh cakes or even | 0:01:09 | 0:01:17 | |
the corned beef pasty - what should be our national dish? Let me try | 0:01:17 | 0:01:27 | |

Good evening. The search has been called off for the night for one of | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
two friends who went into the sea off Anglesey. Last night, an RAF | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
helicopter and the local lifeboat were called out to Cable Bay near | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Aberffraw. They winched one of the men - a 22-year-old who was from | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
the island - from the sea, but he was later pronounced dead on | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
arrival at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor. The search for the other man has | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
continued throughout the day. Roger Pinney is there. Roger. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:03 | |
Yes, up the coast guard told me this afternoon that they were | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
suspending research until they have new information. Let me take you | 0:02:06 | 0:02:13 | |
back 24 hours. A group of four de people came here, three men and a | 0:02:14 | 0:02:21 | |
woman, all in their early twenties, carrying fishing gear. There was a | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
lot of light hard to talk about going for a swim. It seems that one | 0:02:26 | 0:02:34 | |
of the men did go for a swim and got into difficulties. His my right | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
honourable friend went to help them, both were lost. They searched well | 0:02:37 | 0:02:44 | |
into the night. The first man was found almost immediately. He was | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
taken to hospital but could not be revived. The winchman on the | 0:02:49 | 0:02:59 | |
0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | ||
helicopter jumped him to get to the man and drag him out. It was very | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
close to the rocks and put the crew in considerable danger. This woman | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
was here last night and saw the group set off. Just two of them | 0:03:11 | 0:03:19 | |
returned. The car behind you put up just after 7pm. Four Magnum people | 0:03:19 | 0:03:29 | |
0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | ||
got out, all happy and joking around.. -- four young people. Then | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
50 minutes later, I young lad other goal came back. She said she had | 0:03:37 | 0:03:44 | |
witnessed her two friends go over the side, she was hysterical. An | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
ambulance turned up and within 20 minutes, RNLI and helicopters were | 0:03:49 | 0:03:59 | |
0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | ||
up. That search have resumed in daylight. By lunchtime, the | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
helicopter was back in the air, searching for a body. Any chance | 0:04:05 | 0:04:12 | |
that the missing man has survived was long gone. It is a very popular | 0:04:12 | 0:04:19 | |
part of Anglesey with visitors. But the weather can be dangerous, the | 0:04:19 | 0:04:29 | |
0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | ||
waves are treacherous and it is a dangerous piece of coastline. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:42 | |
Searchers worked along the coastline searching for the body. I | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
understand both young men are from Anglesey. This is a stunningly | 0:04:46 | 0:04:55 | |
beautiful part of Wales. But there are dangers here. The search team | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
tell me they are exhausted and devastated. They do the job to save | 0:04:59 | 0:05:09 | |
lives, but on this occasion, they were not able to help. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
It has been another year of records in Wales' GCSE results. 6.6% of | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
entries received an A star, more than ever before. It means the gap | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
with the rest of the UK at the highest grades has closed a little. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
But Wales is still behind England and Northern Ireland on every | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
measure. The percentage of A star to C grades in Wales was 66.5%, a | 0:05:27 | 0:05:35 | |
record 3.3% lower than the rest of the UK. And the overall A star to G | 0:05:35 | 0:05:44 | |
pass rate was 98.7%, the same as in 2010. Here's our education | 0:05:44 | 0:05:54 | |
0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | ||
Years of school, hours of painstaking revision. But for the | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
16-year-olds at Oakdale Comprehensive, it has been worth it. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
I had 10 A stars, 2 As and a B. As, 5 Bs, 2 A stars and a | 0:06:02 | 0:06:12 | |
0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | ||
distinction in media. Across Wales, there was much to celebrate. More A | 0:06:13 | 0:06:23 | |
0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | ||
star grades, more getting the all important A star to C. We do a lot | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
of work after school. You have to work if you want to get a good | 0:06:30 | 0:06:40 | |
0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | ||
result. A more over the moon. I am really happy. We have achieved a | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
pass rate of 98.7 per cent, we have improved A star grade to C grade. I | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
am pleased with the performance of young people in Wales. We can | 0:06:50 | 0:07:00 | |
0:07:00 | 0:07:00 | ||
always do better and we will always try to do better. Throat this year, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:07 | |
-- a rare this year, the minister has spoken of needing to improve | 0:07:07 | 0:07:17 | |
0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | ||
port results. Particularly in comparison with the results of | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
England. There is much more that the Government should be doing to | 0:07:23 | 0:07:31 | |
narrow the gap. There was government hopes that results will | 0:07:31 | 0:07:38 | |
pick up if inconsistency is stamped out. It expect similar schools like | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
all Dale and Barry comprehensive to be performing at the same level. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:52 | |
0:07:52 | 0:08:07 | ||
Last year, the dead. -- Glastir the We have a very good behaviour | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
system that pupils understand that we expect good behaviour in lessons. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
When they are in lessons, they are there to work. We have instilled in | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
all of our pupils that work is not a four-letter word. And it is not | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
geeky to be successful. Absolutely brilliant! For many pupils and | 0:08:19 | 0:08:25 | |
parents, this is a day to celebrate. The statistics will show that while | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
results have improved, compared to the rest of the UK, there is still | 0:08:28 | 0:08:37 | |
some way to go. Ciaran is at Barry Comprehensive | 0:08:37 | 0:08:46 | |
tonight. What a day for teenagers and their parents. I am sure they | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
were celebrating here. Some great results. But could you have done | 0:08:51 | 0:08:58 | |
better? For many students, they have exceeded expectations. But we | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
cannot stand still, we have to improve the standards. We will | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
always strive to achieve higher results. The government in Wales | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
are now expect schools to be performing at roughly the same | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
level. I am sure there are schools out there who did better than you, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:21 | |
and you did better than other schools. Why this variability? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:27 | |
Schools reflect the area that they are in. But schools have to have | 0:09:27 | 0:09:33 | |
the highest expectations of their pupils. We are one of only two | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
schools in Wales that are all boys. We do feel strongly that our | 0:09:38 | 0:09:45 | |
performance is very good and we are constantly trying to improve it. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:51 | |
Well done to all the children. Your members, local councils, are | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
running schools across the country. Can you answer me this question? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
Why is it that a pupil in Wales, on average, will get worse GCSE | 0:10:02 | 0:10:08 | |
results than a people in England? Today is a day of celebration. We | 0:10:08 | 0:10:12 | |
need to credit the young people who have done so well in their GCSEs. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:20 | |
It is a day to celebrate success. We must pay tribute to ever go | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
teachers, students and schools. we are not celebrating the fact | 0:10:24 | 0:10:30 | |
that if you are a parent in Wales, your child will go to a school that | 0:10:30 | 0:10:36 | |
does worse than one in England. are right to point the fact that | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
there is too much variation in the system. Every child should have the | 0:10:41 | 0:10:50 | |
same chance. But in Wales, I do not thing we are sharing good practice. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:56 | |
An initiative that we are developing is looking at the best | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
practice that exists with them Wales and that opportunities to | 0:11:00 | 0:11:10 | |
0:11:10 | 0:11:18 | ||
share that practice. -- that exist within a Wales. Thank you very much. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
A former county councillor who held the economy portfolio on Gwynedd | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Council has been jailed for 16 months for stealing more than | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
�53,000 from the village sub-post office that he ran. 55-year-old | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
Dewi Lewis admitted stealing the cash after an audit was undertaken | 0:11:29 | 0:11:38 | |
at the shop in Penrhyndeudraeth. An inquest has heard how 45-year- | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
old Darren Williams was found hanging in woodland just hours | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
after shooting his estranged wife in a Newport hair salon. Two other | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
women were also taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. Police | 0:11:46 | 0:11:54 | |
investigations are continuing. Ministers in the Labour government | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
are being accused of targeting independent-run councils for | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
criticism. The charge comes from John Davies, the leader of the | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
Welsh Local Government Association who says ministers are playing | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
politics. Mr Davies is leader of Pembrokeshire Council which has | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
been involved in a public row with the Welsh Government this week. Our | 0:12:09 | 0:12:14 | |
Welsh Affairs editor Vaughan Roderick joins us now. | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
It is extraordinary. I told you last night that I had never seen | 0:12:17 | 0:12:27 | |
0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | ||
such a bitter spat as that. It could even more bitter today. I | 0:12:29 | 0:12:35 | |
have to say that I have not find many people who agree with the | 0:12:35 | 0:12:42 | |
analysis of Mr Davies. Councils like Pembrokeshire and Anglesey are | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
not councils that Labour would hope to win. But it does reflect the | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
degree of bitterness and ill feeling that there is between the | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
Government and local council leaders. I spoke to the leader of | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
another local council and he said that the relationship has gone | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
downhill very badly off the last month and he does not remember it | 0:13:04 | 0:13:13 | |
being as bad The minister has spoken of systemic failure in the | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
does anybody else support his stance? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:26 | |
0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | ||
There is a lot of support. There is no doubt that there is deep | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
unhappiness in the council's and amongst the opposition parties in | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
the Assembly about the way the government is acting. But what the | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
government was say is that they have received these critical | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
reports about vitally important issues such as child protection and | 0:13:47 | 0:13:57 | |
0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | ||
the government would be remiss and Labour will bring to pass a vote of | 0:14:02 | 0:14:09 | |
no confidence in the leader of the Ebbw Vale have votes. Still to come | 0:14:09 | 0:14:17 | |
on the programme this evening - What should be our national dish? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:27 | |
0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | ||
Get stuck in there. Just as good? at his beautiful. It is disgusting. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:36 | |
Why don't you like that? It is horrible. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
First, the growing problem of metal theft. Thieves are taking bronze | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
plaques, manhole covers even statues and that is costing our | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
local authorities almost �680,000 a year. But the impact of the thefts | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
for some communities is far more than purely financial. Sian Lloyd | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
can tell us more. I am at St Mary's Church in St | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
Fagans and they know all about metal theft here. It has been | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
targeted twice in the last fortnight. Thieves made off with | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
lead from the church roof and vestry. I will be talking to the | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
vicar here in a few minutes about the toll it is all taking, but | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
first what is being done to crack down on metal theft? In | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
neighbouring Rhondda Cynon Taf the council faced a bill of �250,000 | 0:15:19 | 0:15:26 | |
over the past two years to replace stolen items. I have been following | 0:15:26 | 0:15:36 | |
a special operation there today. These are hardened criminals to | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
make a living out averse and our communities by taking the metal. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
8:30am and Operation Magnet is under way. Officers from Rhondda | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
Cynon Taf Council, South Wales Police and Trading Standards need | 0:15:47 | 0:15:54 | |
to find out what the day has in store. This is what it is all about. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
Stopping vehicles for spot checks. The driver of this van is asked to | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
take it to the base to be tested and searched. The aim is to be seen | 0:16:02 | 0:16:10 | |
on the streets and target metal thieves on the move. It is very | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
widespread and very isolated locations. It is better for us to | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
catch them on the move. It is difficult if you don't catch them | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
on the move to identify where the property has come from. We're out | 0:16:20 | 0:16:26 | |
on the road again, this time heading up into the Rhondda Valley. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
It is where it is taken to that also counts. We have had a call | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
about his scrap dealer that the police and council want to checkout | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
and we're on our way there. We follow a team of officers into an | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
industrial estate in Maerdy. They want to investigate reports of | 0:16:42 | 0:16:48 | |
activity at one of the units here. Trading Standards will be taking | 0:16:48 | 0:16:54 | |
the lead. It will be offences for them to check. We will search the | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
premises and. We have asked the owner, they are not happy for you | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
to going and film. We will search the premises. We later find out | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
that the business was not properly registered, the owner was fined | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
�100 on the spot and told to file the correct documents to trade. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
Back to the vehicle inspection yard and other van gets searched. This | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
is just one of scores of drivers questioned by enforcement officers | 0:17:15 | 0:17:23 | |
today and the message is clear. have poured a lot of vehicles over | 0:17:23 | 0:17:28 | |
and issued fixed penalties. We have had a number of a arrests. We have | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
got to wave a legal scrapyard and dealt with that. All in all, an | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
excellent exercise. It is not just metal theft under the spotlight in | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
this operation. While this van was empty it was found to be unfit for | 0:17:39 | 0:17:48 | |
the roads and was impounded. Its occupants had to walk home. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
When thieves broke into a miners' institute in the Gwent Valleys they | 0:17:51 | 0:17:56 | |
ripped almost every copper pipe from the building. Now, the charity | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
running the institute is facing huge repair bills as Carwyn Jones | 0:17:59 | 0:18:05 | |
reports. It opened in 1911 and paid for by | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
local miners. But there will be no centenary celebrations for the | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Fleur De Lys Institute near Blackwood. The building isn't even | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
open to the public. A few weeks ago thieves broke in and ripped the | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
place apart, stealing every copper pipe they could lay their hands on. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
The institute's run by a charitable trust. Its chairman was first on | 0:18:26 | 0:18:34 | |
the scene after the break-in. the copper that was in the building | 0:18:34 | 0:18:39 | |
had been stolen, just ripped out and they did not give a damp about | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
what they had done. They destroyed everything. The trustees now face a | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
repair bill of more than �10,000 and they couldn't afford the delay | 0:18:46 | 0:18:48 | |
in getting the builders in. After the robbery the heating and | 0:18:48 | 0:18:54 | |
plumbing systems were useless. It has caused a lot of damage | 0:18:54 | 0:19:01 | |
throughout the building because of the water, water causes damage. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:04 | |
They didn't think to turn everything off and then rip it out. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:11 | |
Pages ripped it out. -- they just. The Institute had recently been | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
restored and refurbished and was used by the community as a venue | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
for dance classes and coffee mornings. That has been put on hold. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:23 | |
There is also concern for the heritage of the building itself. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
is an historical building. It is a legacy of the mining industry. The | 0:19:29 | 0:19:35 | |
people who worked hard to put that building via originally, it's a | 0:19:35 | 0:19:41 | |
degrees their memory. -- it degrades. It is thought the sale of | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
the store and copper might have netted the thieves just a few | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
hundred pounds. But the cost of repairing this century-old building | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
has run into thousands and it is the local community who have had to | 0:19:50 | 0:20:00 | |
0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | ||
pick up pieces. Anthony Wintle is rector here at St Mary's. What has | 0:20:01 | 0:20:11 | |
0:20:11 | 0:20:11 | ||
happened? The thieves have taken the lead from the ridges. On | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
Tuesday of this week, lead was taken from the lynch gate -- | 0:20:16 | 0:20:26 | |
0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | ||
litigate. What concerns me is the human it impact. It was restored in | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
memory of the young man from the parish. I take a serious view of | 0:20:32 | 0:20:38 | |
this because this constitutes an attack upon the community, upon our | 0:20:38 | 0:20:43 | |
heritage, this is a wonderful church and look what they have done | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
to it. It is an attack upon the congregation, brides and grooms who | 0:20:48 | 0:20:52 | |
want to be married here. I was talking to a groom who was to be | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
married here two weeks tomorrow. When funerals are held also, it | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
means the rain could so easily have been pouring into that building. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
Thanks to a local builder we were able to put some polythene on the | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
roof. It is an historic church, valued very much here in the | 0:21:11 | 0:21:17 | |
community. People are very upset. That set and annoyed. Before you | 0:21:17 | 0:21:22 | |
ask me, I am going to pray for the thieves, I certainly am, I am going | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
to pray that they are caught. Thank you. We have seen the effect | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
metal theft is having and how at least one area is attempting to | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
tackle it. Forces across Wales are working on this but they face an | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
uphill struggle at the moment. Wales manager Gary Speed has named | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
his squad to face Montenegro and England in the Euro 2012 qualifiers | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
next month. Gareth Bale and captain, Aaron Ramsay, are in the 24 man | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
squad along with Aston Villa defender, James Collins, who is | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
suspended for the first of those matches. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Also in that squad is striker Craig Bellamy and BBC Sport understands | 0:21:54 | 0:21:59 | |
he could be on the brink of a return to Liverpool. However the | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
32-year-old would need his current side, Manchester City, to agree to | 0:22:01 | 0:22:08 | |
release him on a free transfer. The directors at Wrexham Football | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
Club say they hope for a speedy conclusion to the deal to sell the | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
club to Wrexham Supporters Trust. Last night more than 400 members of | 0:22:16 | 0:22:24 | |
the Trust unanimously voted to If you had to choose a national | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
dish for Wales, what would it be? What about some Penclawdd cockles, | 0:22:27 | 0:22:37 | |
0:22:37 | 0:22:43 | ||
we've got some laverbread here, Or what about the corned beef | 0:22:43 | 0:22:49 | |
pasty? It may not be the first thing that springs to mind but | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
would you believe it there's a petition actually trying to get it | 0:22:52 | 0:23:01 | |
Welsh food traditions are rooted in our historic culture. From Welsh | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
lamb to laverbread. It dates back centuries and even today the boiled | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
down seaweed is proving popular in Swansea market with another | 0:23:06 | 0:23:16 | |
0:23:16 | 0:23:17 | ||
Penclawdd delicacy. Cockles and laverbread. You could | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
fry the cockles in onions. In Wales, there's only two foods which are | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
protected food name status. That is Welsh lamb and Welsh beef. Now | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
there is a drive to get the corned beef pasty recognised as a Welsh | 0:23:28 | 0:23:34 | |
national dish with a petition handed in at the Assembly. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:39 | |
But what do people here think should be our national dish? I have | 0:23:39 | 0:23:43 | |
the tree of variety here. We have got the Penclawdd cockles on the | 0:23:43 | 0:23:49 | |
laverbread, we have got eight faggot and the Welsh cakes. What | 0:23:49 | 0:23:58 | |
are people's favourites? What had they like? Good. Always good. A win | 0:23:58 | 0:24:08 | |
0:24:08 | 0:24:13 | ||
and? Definitely. The Welsh cake. is disgusting! Can I get you to try | 0:24:13 | 0:24:23 | |
0:24:23 | 0:24:24 | ||
one of these? Know, you need to capture the best! Cockles. Lovely. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:30 | |
Nice and big and you see today. Welsh cakes. Those are the | 0:24:30 | 0:24:36 | |
Penclawdd cockles. Very good. You can taste the sea and the salt. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:42 | |
has not been the most scientific of experiments, in last place it is | 0:24:42 | 0:24:47 | |
the faggot. The winner, it was close between the cockles and the | 0:24:47 | 0:24:56 | |
Welsh cakes but at Swansea market, the Welsh cakes worthy winner. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:01 | |
It has burst talking in the office. The stormy weather and high winds | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
this afternoon has caused some damage. A fire crew went to | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
Pontypool after a flat roof was blown off the building and hit an | 0:25:10 | 0:25:15 | |
adjacent roof. It Newbridge, a large tree fell damaging offence | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
and the roof of a house. Nobody was injured. Some dramatic weather | 0:25:20 | 0:25:29 | |
It has a mixed picture across Wales. If we look at the radar picture, | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
eastern Wales state dry but we had some heavy thunder showers in the | 0:25:34 | 0:25:38 | |
West and then in a line through the Gwent Valleys down to Cardiff where | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
we had those reports of a high wind and even tornadoes. Heavy showers | 0:25:43 | 0:25:50 | |
are focused -- forecast overnight. The Met Office is issuing a warning | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
for south-west Wales. Through this evening, the showers persist | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
further west and we could see up to 40 mm, two inches of rain, falling | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
overnight. It is remaining cloudy. Temperatures staying in double | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
figures overnight so it is not going to be a particularly cold | 0:26:07 | 0:26:13 | |
night. Tomorrow is another day of sunshine and showers. Don't take | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
the graphics too literally. Hit and miss scattered showers. Not as | 0:26:18 | 0:26:23 | |
heavy as today. Some bright spells and it will be bright in the West. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
A changeable day and a change in wind direction bringing in cool air | 0:26:28 | 0:26:32 | |
from the Nov. Temperatures are down on today. 15 degrees Celsius the | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
highest in Anglesey. The good news is that it is an improving picture | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
through the weekend. Showers turning more isolated on Saturday, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
drying up later. It is not particularly warm and still quite a | 0:26:48 | 0:26:53 | |
brisk breeze. Unsettled as we head into the weekend. High pressure | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
pills for Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday so we should be dry and | 0:26:56 | 0:27:05 | |
bright. Not necessarily warmer. This photograph is taken at | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Pembrokeshire looking West that the storm clouds gathering. We will see | 0:27:09 | 0:27:17 | |
a few more of those before it Tonight's main use. A man has died | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
and another is still missing after going into the sea off Anglesey. An | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
RAF helicopter recovered one of the two friends last night's from the | 0:27:26 | 0:27:31 | |
waters off Cable Bay. He was later pronounced dead. The search for the | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
other man has been suspended. G CSE results in Wales have | 0:27:36 | 0:27:39 |
