:00:06. > :00:09.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story tonight: Lots of babies. But

:00:09. > :00:17.a warning tonight that we don't have enough midwives to keep up

:00:17. > :00:25.with our rising birth rate. You could have a midwife looking

:00:25. > :00:35.after two women, while undertaking other tasks. That is far from a

:00:35. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:43.parapet and actually could be Our other headlines tonight: One of

:00:43. > :00:52.our most successful sportsmen Simon Richardson speaks for the first

:00:52. > :00:57.time since his terrible accident. Will he still make London 2012?

:00:57. > :01:01.There is no way I would have thought it would take me two years

:01:01. > :01:04.to get me where I was. They're already opening the

:01:04. > :01:13.Champagne on Anglesey. But will the country's new enterprise zones

:01:14. > :01:18.really make a difference? Nick Clegg tells us the coalition

:01:18. > :01:28.deal did cost the Liberal Democrats votes in Wales.

:01:28. > :01:31.And, a room with a view. Skokholm Good evening. So many babies, but a

:01:31. > :01:35.warning tonight that we don't have enough midwives to cope with our

:01:35. > :01:38.increasing birth rate. The warning comes a day after the

:01:38. > :01:42.Welsh Government published its maternity strategy. The Royal

:01:42. > :01:47.College of Midwives says that an extra 136 midwives are needed to

:01:47. > :01:51.cope with the baby boom. That's a 10% increase. Over the last ten

:01:51. > :02:00.years, live births have risen by 19%, to nearly 36,000 in 2010. The

:02:00. > :02:04.Welsh Government says it's surprised by the claims.

:02:04. > :02:08.I would like to save... discussing the maternity is

:02:08. > :02:15.Treasury in the Assembly Chamber, the normal cut and thrust of

:02:15. > :02:19.politics was set aside. The North Wales Assembly member argued any

:02:19. > :02:24.reorganisation must take into account rural issues. This she said

:02:24. > :02:33.came too late for her. She described losing her five-year-old

:02:33. > :02:39.baby boy in 2009. Her I am sorry... I had to wait for over 30 minutes

:02:39. > :02:45.and do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and heart massage on my baby before

:02:46. > :02:51.an ambulance arrived. I had to sit in the ambulance while it took 30

:02:51. > :02:58.minutes to get to the hospital. At that stage, that critical hour had

:02:58. > :03:04.passed. And I do not want any other mother in Wales to have to go

:03:04. > :03:08.through what I went through. I am sorry I am upset. The Welsh

:03:08. > :03:12.government has just issued a brand new McEntee strategy, they want a

:03:12. > :03:18.midwife to have a far wider role including educating pregnant women

:03:18. > :03:22.as well as those who are planning to start a family. This would

:03:22. > :03:32.include raising the number of women who breast-feed, and teaching about

:03:32. > :03:35.the dangers of drinking, smoking and obesity during pregnancy. At

:03:35. > :03:39.this Mother and Baby Club in Cardiff, they know full well what

:03:39. > :03:46.maternity services in Wales are like. The care beforehand is fine

:03:46. > :03:51.actually. Straight afterwards, I think I could have had a bit more

:03:51. > :03:58.midwife visits for care. I had a lot of attention all the way

:03:58. > :04:03.through Labour, and pregnancy. Some of my friends were not so lucky. I

:04:03. > :04:07.had an amazing experience. According to the Royal College of

:04:07. > :04:13.Midwives, there has been a baby boom over the last nine years.

:04:13. > :04:18.36,000 babies in the last year were born in Wales, and 19% increase

:04:18. > :04:23.over 2002. They claim there are fewer midwives than two years ago.

:04:23. > :04:30.It is a break-up call. We now see there are fewer midwives being

:04:30. > :04:35.trained. Could our numbers are going down. It means there could be

:04:35. > :04:40.fewer midwives to provide the care we feel is appropriate for women in

:04:40. > :04:44.Wales. There are other issues around the 20 services. This two-

:04:44. > :04:54.year-old was born three months premature. His mother was rushed to

:04:54. > :04:55.

:04:55. > :04:59.a specialist maternity unit which could now be moved. 30 miles away.

:04:59. > :05:03.My local hospital is only 10 minutes from here. I just think I

:05:03. > :05:09.should be able to go to the hospital of my choice and have

:05:09. > :05:13.services provided at that hospital, and not be sent somewhere else

:05:13. > :05:18.where I do not know the staff. Nicolette is now expected another

:05:18. > :05:23.little brother or sister. She was the best service to be available as

:05:23. > :05:26.close to her as possible. Over the next month she will find out if

:05:26. > :05:31.that is possible. Let's talk to our political editor, Betsan Powys.

:05:31. > :05:39.Arwyn referred to health cuts as a complicated and controversial issue.

:05:39. > :05:44.How will this new, independent group of experts help?

:05:44. > :05:48.This announcement from the government about a body of experts

:05:48. > :05:51.who will scrutinise the plans of local health boards, you could

:05:51. > :05:59.argue they will help by taking the flak, standing between the minister

:05:59. > :06:03.and some difficult, nasty decisions which will have to be taken. If

:06:03. > :06:07.Leslie Griffiths can point to this board of experts and say, they are

:06:07. > :06:13.the experts, telling me this is the right way forward, the best way

:06:13. > :06:22.forward for this local health board, then I am listening to them. Are

:06:22. > :06:25.you saying they are wrong? The tactic is to shoot the opposition,

:06:25. > :06:30.but the position is saying the minister is being cowardly and not

:06:30. > :06:34.taking her responsibilities. We will soon hear her say she is not

:06:34. > :06:37.shirking Harris was pities and is a where the buck stops with her.

:06:37. > :06:45.Health was the issue that dominated questions to the first Minister

:06:45. > :06:50.this afternoon. Emotional speeches, and feisty debate about budgets,

:06:50. > :06:56.promises, who will make the cuts in Wales and England. Today was the

:06:56. > :07:05.first opportunity for the new Conservative leader to take on the

:07:05. > :07:13.First Minister. The new Leader of the Opposition,

:07:13. > :07:17.his first chance to put the First Minister on the spot. Andrew RT

:07:17. > :07:22.Davies says he is a cuddly conservative. He is known for his

:07:22. > :07:28.no-nonsense approach, something Tory members hope will rattle the

:07:28. > :07:31.Cabinet. With a series of announcements from the Welsh

:07:31. > :07:39.government since they last met, Andrew RT Davies had plenty of

:07:39. > :07:45.material. The he chose to attack Carwyn Jones over NHS cuts, and a

:07:45. > :07:48.report suggesting 1,200 nurses could lose their jobs. If we were

:07:48. > :07:52.the government, we would be protecting the Welsh health service,

:07:52. > :07:56.not inflicting �1 million of cuts that your government is inflicting

:07:56. > :08:01.on the Welsh health service. First Minister might be facing a

:08:01. > :08:04.new rival but he deployed a familiar argument. Never mind what

:08:04. > :08:11.the Welsh Conservatives say in the Assembly, look what they do in

:08:11. > :08:16.power at Westminster. We talk of transparency. This government is a

:08:16. > :08:21.beacon of transparency, as opposed to the cat pleasures we get from

:08:21. > :08:25.the Tories. They say we have increased health spending by �1

:08:25. > :08:30.billion, they never say where that money will come from. One session

:08:30. > :08:36.of questions does not change the political landscape. But there was

:08:36. > :08:41.a new edge to today's exchanges. With tough decisions coming up in

:08:41. > :08:48.the Budget, the argument over what should be cut and what should not

:08:48. > :08:51.is only going to intensify. Before those feisty exchanges,

:08:51. > :09:00.there was a minute's silence observed in the Assembly chamber in

:09:00. > :09:03.memory of the four men who died in Flags flew at half mast, and

:09:03. > :09:13.members from all parties sent their condolences to the bereaved

:09:13. > :09:13.

:09:13. > :09:21.families and paid tribute to the I went to bend the rescue team,

:09:21. > :09:26.made up in the main of those working in the Neath Valley. I

:09:26. > :09:30.thank them for the work they were put in in. One said, it is not a

:09:30. > :09:34.question of being thanked, there is one man down there, 62 years old.

:09:34. > :09:40.If he is prepared to go down there and work at 62, I am prepared to

:09:40. > :09:45.find him and I will carry on until I do find him. For me, that summed

:09:45. > :09:49.up in a few short sentences the determination of the mine's rescue

:09:49. > :09:52.teams and all the other people who were there who put so much effort

:09:52. > :09:56.into finding the men. An emotional day in the Assembly,

:09:56. > :10:02.to kick off a term where there's no doubt there's be an edge and an

:10:02. > :10:06.intensity to the debate. The Welsh Government is sending in

:10:06. > :10:09.consultants to Pembrokeshire Council to resolve its shortcomings.

:10:09. > :10:13.The board will look at how it can improve child protection, and will

:10:13. > :10:21.also look at how it's run. The move follows two highly critical reports

:10:21. > :10:25.into education and child abuse allegations in the county.

:10:25. > :10:28.He's one of our most successful Paralympians who had big dreams for

:10:28. > :10:31.London 2012. But those ambitions were crushed last month when he was

:10:31. > :10:35.knocked from his bike. Simon Richardson has spoken for the first

:10:35. > :10:39.time today since the accident that left him fighting for his life. He

:10:39. > :10:42.spoke to Claire Summers. What did he say?

:10:42. > :10:46.This is a man who knows how to fight. He's overcome huge odds

:10:46. > :10:49.before, and the list of injuries he suffered five weeks ago, and how's

:10:49. > :10:56.he's coped with them, is staggering. Today, he told me he doesn't

:10:56. > :11:01.remember what happened. But he knows he's lucky to be alive.

:11:01. > :11:04.Come they first trip away from home for some and since he left hospital.

:11:04. > :11:12.For him and his wife, the last few weeks have been incredibly

:11:12. > :11:19.difficult. He in myself, I am in a lot of pain. Especially in my back.

:11:19. > :11:25.Or the pelvis. I spend a lot of time in bed, lying down to rest my

:11:25. > :11:30.back. The ASDA and left Simon fighting for his life. The 44-year-

:11:30. > :11:34.old was hit by a van while on his bike. He suffered multiple injuries

:11:34. > :11:38.including fractures to his spine, a broken pelvis and a detached long.

:11:38. > :11:41.He still today has blood clots on his lung and breathing is still

:11:41. > :11:47.uncomfortable. Take us back to the morning of the

:11:47. > :11:51.accident, can you remember? only thing I remember his I was

:11:51. > :11:59.meeting someone to train. I had a text from them. Say they couldn't

:11:59. > :12:05.make it. I went on to the road for a change. I never go up that way at

:12:06. > :12:10.all. Simons led was also severely injured as the bike snapped the

:12:10. > :12:19.metal fibre going through it. When he got to hospital he was heavily

:12:19. > :12:27.sedated. I had no idea where I was. Again no I was in an accident.

:12:27. > :12:31.Sterry was it waking up like that? It was quite terrifying. I was

:12:31. > :12:38.having dreams through the unconscious bits. To wake up and

:12:38. > :12:42.realise you have lost at least two weeks is terrifying. The day they

:12:42. > :12:47.gave me back his wedding ring, that was the day I was thinking, this

:12:47. > :12:56.isn't right, there is something wrong. I said, don't be daft, it's

:12:56. > :13:01.because his hands are swollen. This was day 10. I thought, I am being

:13:01. > :13:05.silly. I went home and cried. accident was all the more

:13:05. > :13:09.distressing for his family, as he was involved in a serious crash 10

:13:09. > :13:14.years ago which their tempo and that the disabled. Cycling was

:13:14. > :13:20.recommended by doctors to help his rehabilitation. He went on to win

:13:20. > :13:30.two gold medals and his silver. When I came back, and never had any

:13:30. > :13:35.support. I had a big accident. The support has been worldwide. The how

:13:35. > :13:41.long now is the recovery? The Paralympics next year, is that out

:13:41. > :13:47.of the question? There is no way. It will take me at least two years

:13:47. > :13:55.to get anywhere near where I was. I can forget it. How will you feel

:13:55. > :14:03.getting back on to a bike? first few miles... I have only ever

:14:04. > :14:13.be up the road where my accident was in 2001, once. A lot of people

:14:14. > :14:14.

:14:14. > :14:18.dwell on assistance. You have to be He does not want to dwell on what

:14:18. > :14:22.has happened. He goes back to Wasperton at the end of the month.

:14:22. > :14:29.He will see if he needs another operation on his broken back. If he

:14:29. > :14:34.they decide to operate, that will delay at by some time. But he is

:14:34. > :14:39.making some plans. He is setting up a safety campaign and then he is

:14:39. > :14:46.hoping to cycles 600 miles in six days for the air ambulance service.

:14:46. > :14:49.His wife is an absolute rock. It may taking a few years to get back

:14:49. > :14:57.to full fitness but he is determined. Good luck to him.

:14:57. > :15:01.We wish him well. Much more to come before 7pm.

:15:01. > :15:06.The neighbours are birds and seals. The bid to buy the lighthouse on

:15:06. > :15:09.this Pembrokeshire island. The coalition with the

:15:09. > :15:12.Conservatives at Westminster cost the Liberal Democrats votes in the

:15:12. > :15:17.National Assembly elections last May. That's what the Deputy Prime

:15:17. > :15:20.Minister Nick Clegg said today. But he told Wales Today that the Lib

:15:20. > :15:22.Dems would bounce back in next year's council elections. Live to

:15:22. > :15:32.our Parliamentary Correspondent, David Cornock, at the party

:15:32. > :15:33.

:15:33. > :15:37.conference in Birmingham. The Liberal Democrats may only have

:15:37. > :15:42.lost one seat in the assembly elections four months ago but their

:15:42. > :15:46.share of the vote slumped. 17 candidates did so badly that they

:15:46. > :15:51.lost their deposits. I asked Nick Clegg whether he felt personally

:15:51. > :15:56.responsible. Clearly, we took a knock in all kinds of elections,

:15:56. > :16:01.not just in Wales. I think that is partly to do with economic

:16:01. > :16:05.environment. People are uncertain and anxious and it is partly to do

:16:05. > :16:09.with us entering into a coalition government with the Conservatives,

:16:09. > :16:15.they are not popular in some parts of the country, not least in parts

:16:15. > :16:19.of Wales. Nick Clegg admitting that the coalition deal had cost the

:16:19. > :16:24.Liberal Democrats votes. But the Conservatives did rather well in

:16:24. > :16:28.those Assembly elections. How much influence to the Welsh

:16:28. > :16:33.Liberal Democrats have really have -- really have at the top of the

:16:33. > :16:36.party? That is a good question. There is a

:16:36. > :16:44.commission looking at the way that the Welsh government is funded. We

:16:44. > :16:50.are still looking for details. -- waiting for details. There is not a

:16:51. > :16:54.single Welsh Liberal Democrats MP as a junior member. I put it to

:16:54. > :17:00.Nick Clegg that Wales is being sidelined. I feel that is an

:17:00. > :17:04.extraordinary thing to say. We have done more for Wales. Gordon Brown,

:17:04. > :17:12.I do not think, even visited Wales. We have made announcements on all

:17:12. > :17:18.kinds of things through to transport investment, projects,

:17:18. > :17:22.setting up the commission. And as for that commission, we were

:17:23. > :17:27.expecting it to have been announced by now. We will get the details

:17:27. > :17:32.shortly but even the deputy prime minister does not seem to know the

:17:33. > :17:35.date either. Thank you very much indeed. As we revealed on the

:17:35. > :17:39.programme last night, the Welsh Government has set out plans to

:17:39. > :17:42.create five enterprise zones. A number of companies in Anglesey,

:17:42. > :17:45.Cardiff, Deeside, Ebbw Vale and St Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan are

:17:45. > :17:48.likely to benefit. Tonight there's been a furious response from

:17:48. > :17:50.Newport council at being left out. But will the zones really make a

:17:50. > :18:00.difference with limited funds available? Here's our Business

:18:00. > :18:02.

:18:02. > :18:07.Correspondent, Nick Servini. The champagne has been flowing as

:18:07. > :18:11.they celebrate enterprise zone status. After months of speculation,

:18:11. > :18:16.they were named as one of five across the country. They will be

:18:16. > :18:20.energy on Anglesey, financial services in Cardiff, advanced

:18:20. > :18:25.manufacturing on Deeside, the car industry in Ebbw Vale and airin St

:18:25. > :18:29.Athan. What is on offer? The initial sums

:18:29. > :18:32.are small. Around �10 million for the first five years covering

:18:32. > :18:36.business rate relief but there is likely to be more cash available

:18:36. > :18:41.for tax breaks for companies that are expanding. The aim will also be

:18:41. > :18:45.to bring in relaxed planning rules and training grants.

:18:45. > :18:51.Among those that could receive some of these is this technology company

:18:51. > :18:56.on the Deeside Industrial Park. The managing director of the firm

:18:56. > :19:05.headed at a campaign for the status. The main benefit for him will be

:19:05. > :19:11.protection against English zones. was worried that Warrington would

:19:11. > :19:14.take the business away from here. I knew that a lot of business would

:19:14. > :19:18.have migrated to those areas because of the incentives but now

:19:18. > :19:22.there is a platform. But not everyone is happy. Newport council

:19:22. > :19:25.says it is bitterly disappointed the city has been overlooked. The

:19:25. > :19:29.Welsh Conservatives say the plan has been put together on the back

:19:29. > :19:36.of a cigarette packet. There were always be winners and

:19:36. > :19:39.losers. -- there will always be. This area in Cardiff hardly seems

:19:39. > :19:43.in need of government assistance but the thinking is that this city

:19:43. > :19:48.has already achieved a lot in attracting financial companies and

:19:48. > :19:51.now they are going to use public money to try to give a boost to

:19:51. > :19:55.something they know can be successful.

:19:55. > :19:59.Whatever the advantages, these five zones will still face serious

:19:59. > :20:02.challenges because of the tough economic climate. A review by the

:20:02. > :20:05.BBC Trust of Radio Wales has found listeners value its coverage of

:20:05. > :20:08.news and topical issues with 93% saying the station gave them a

:20:08. > :20:11.better understanding of events. There are some criticisms it calls

:20:11. > :20:14.on BBC bosses to look into greater FM coverage across Wales, which

:20:14. > :20:17.affects the number of people who can listen and suggests the station

:20:17. > :20:23.re-visit its editorial strategies to see whether more can be done to

:20:23. > :20:27.boost appeal in north Wales. Radio Wales is doing very well

:20:27. > :20:32.despite the fact that its distribution is patchy. That is an

:20:32. > :20:37.area where we will be pressing very hard to see whether the answers can

:20:37. > :20:40.be got for better distribution. And then there is a perception among

:20:41. > :20:47.the viewers and it may only be a perception that we have to tackle

:20:47. > :20:51.perceptions as well, that there is a kind of South Wales voice to

:20:51. > :20:56.Radio Wales. I am really pleased with the review. Virtually every

:20:56. > :21:00.listener that contributed believes that Radio Wales is good value for

:21:00. > :21:04.money. We recognise that there are challenges in that, particularly

:21:04. > :21:07.around representing the whole of Wales and we have a lot of work to

:21:07. > :21:12.do but we are already working towards try to make the radio

:21:12. > :21:14.station as relevant in North Wales as it is in South Wales.

:21:14. > :21:17.Denbighshire businesswoman Stephanie Booth says she regrets

:21:17. > :21:19.people lost their jobs when her hotel chain collapsed in July. In

:21:19. > :21:22.her first broadcast interview since Llangollen Hotels went into

:21:22. > :21:30.administration she says some of her creditors won't get their money

:21:30. > :21:32.back. Four of her hotels are being sold and one was closed down.

:21:32. > :21:37.Memories of the big day, but for Elizabeth Matthews from Pentre

:21:37. > :21:40.Broughton near Wrexham, not all those memories are happy ones. Her

:21:40. > :21:44.parents paid �800 for a reception at the Wynnstay Hotel owned by

:21:44. > :21:52.Stephanie Booth. But with just three weeks to go the hotel was

:21:52. > :21:56.closed with guests moved out and staff made redundant. How had to

:21:56. > :22:01.tell all the guests that they had to go somewhere else. There was all

:22:01. > :22:06.that sort of thing, all of the transport. Everything had to be

:22:06. > :22:10.changed. I was basically reorganising the wedding that I had

:22:13. > :22:15.the other hotels in the chain which were in administration but she was

:22:15. > :22:18.worried they too might close down. Stephanie Booth says the

:22:18. > :22:22.combination of losing out on a million pound loan and a �900,000

:22:22. > :22:29.tax bill meant she had no option but to call in the administrators.

:22:29. > :22:34.But despite her efforts not everyone will get their money back.

:22:34. > :22:40.Customers should not lose anything. There are a few suppliers but they

:22:40. > :22:45.tend to be the big ones. We looked after all the smaller people. The

:22:46. > :22:51.only money outstanding was between July 1st have to the 8th, which the

:22:51. > :22:54.government is paying for those people that were made redundant.

:22:54. > :22:57.Barclays Bank has said Stephanie Booth's company had cash flow

:22:57. > :23:00.issues, was overspending and under pressure from other creditors. She

:23:00. > :23:03.says she regrets investing �1 million in a new hotel without

:23:03. > :23:07.waiting for the bank to release the money and she's learned a valuable

:23:07. > :23:12.lesson. When we started buying the freehold of hotels, they are very

:23:12. > :23:19.expensive, we do not have that cash available, you have to borrow from

:23:19. > :23:24.the banks. I regret... At until eight years ago, we had money in

:23:24. > :23:29.the bank and we did not owe anybody anything. I regret borrowing and I

:23:29. > :23:31.will never borrowed a single penny from any banks ever again.

:23:31. > :23:34.Elizabeth Matthews had her reception at another hotel for a

:23:34. > :23:43.further �900. She got her dream wedding even though she'd dreamed

:23:43. > :23:45.of it happening somewhere else. Up for grabs. Amazing views, lots

:23:45. > :23:49.of stairs, tricky access and the neighbours are Pembrokeshire's

:23:49. > :23:52.seals and birds. Skokholm island's lighthouse is up for grabs and the

:23:52. > :23:55.Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales hope to buy it as we as

:23:55. > :23:57.trying to re-establish Britain's first bird observatory and attract

:23:57. > :24:04.more visitors. More from our Environment Correspondent, Iolo ap

:24:04. > :24:08.Dafydd. Skokholm I leant is a nature

:24:09. > :24:16.reserve. It is harder to get to than the nearby islands. It helps

:24:16. > :24:20.to preserve it as a -- an important haven for sea birds. By in the

:24:20. > :24:25.lighthouse for �100,000 would give the trust more space for visitors

:24:25. > :24:30.to stay overnight and greater environmental control. There are

:24:30. > :24:34.about 2,800 birds on the plot of land. It is crucial that we can own

:24:34. > :24:40.this bit of land because anybody could buy this lighthouse and they

:24:40. > :24:46.could renovate the buildings and there could be rats in those

:24:46. > :24:52.materials. That would devastate the island. Skokholm was Britain's

:24:52. > :24:57.first bird observatory in 1933. Between the 35,000 nesting pairs of

:24:57. > :25:05.Manx shearwaters and 120,000 pairs which nest just a few miles across

:25:05. > :25:08.the bay, that amounts to half the world's population. No wonder that

:25:08. > :25:11.Britain's first bird observatory was established here.

:25:11. > :25:17.During the recent gales, hundreds of these birds have to be rescued

:25:17. > :25:24.by local volunteers and the RSPCA. Those rescued birds have now been

:25:24. > :25:29.released in Devon and off the ferries in the eye it -- I receive.

:25:29. > :25:34.-- Irish Sea. They lost it in 1976 when they

:25:34. > :25:40.stopped ringing on the island. There is a network of bird

:25:40. > :25:43.observatories around the coast. Basically, you are keeping all the

:25:43. > :25:49.records in a format which is acceptable and meets the standards

:25:49. > :25:54.right around the country. Wildlife Trust's target is to raise

:25:54. > :25:58.�250,000 to buy and renovate the lighthouse. Future visitors will

:25:58. > :26:07.Steven see the light guiding yachts and tankers along the coastline,

:26:07. > :26:10.some wild weather, as well as Time now for the weather forecast.

:26:10. > :26:14.Tomorrow will be a better day of the Pembrokeshire coast. But before

:26:14. > :26:20.that we have some rain to deal with. Most of it this evening in the

:26:20. > :26:24.south and south-east. Rain clearing from Chepstow around midnight.

:26:24. > :26:30.Lowest temperatures eight degrees Celsius. Tomorrow's chart shows low

:26:36. > :26:40.over Kent. This is tomorrow morning. Much brighter than today. Better

:26:40. > :26:45.visibility, apart from a couple of missed patches. A couple of showers

:26:45. > :26:50.likely in the north. A freshening south-westerly wind on

:26:50. > :26:53.the Lleyn Peninsula. A better day tomorrow. Some cloud than some

:26:53. > :26:58.sunny intervals but not dry everywhere. There will be some
