Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Labour and the Lib Dems | :00:05. | :00:15. | |
:00:15. | :00:15. | ||
strike a deal over the budget. we can look forward to securing the | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:40. | ||
Also - remembering the name you should died at Gleision. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Julie Morgan - wife of the former First Minister Rhodri Morgan - says | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
she may have been a victim of phone hacking. I was shocked and upset. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Then I felt angry. In tonight's sport - Wales beat | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
England at the Rugby 7's. And it's set to be a 300th club appearance | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
for Stephen Jones - it's a welsh derby tonight as the Scarlets | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
welcome the Dragons. And rare in this number - 100,000 | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:16. | ||
starlings making Wales their home Good evening. After months | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
wrangling, and behind the scenes talks, a budget deal's been struck | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
in Cardiff Bay. The Welsh Government and the Liberal | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
Democrats have agreed how to spend �14.5 billion. First Minister | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
Carwyn Jones said it would help the economy and create jobs. But the | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
other opposition parties say the Lib Dems have sold out. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
They have been meeting behind- closed-doors trying to a good be on | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
how to Vic-Wells budget will be spent. Without a clear majority in | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
the assembly Labour needed the support of at least one of | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
opposition parties to get its spending plans approved. After | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
negotiations with plied Cumbrae and the Liberal Democrat it was | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
announced that they had made agreement with the Lib Dems. This | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
was done after a lot of detailed negotiation. This will secured a | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
financial basis for Wales. What have the agreed? The Lib Dems | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
wanted more cash for the poorest Seoul is an extra �20 million for | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
children to achieve their potential. Also �40 million was announced over | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
two used to protect the economy. The Chancellor will give details in | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
next week's spending statements and both parties will agree how to | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
spend it. It would have been unthinkable | :02:52. | :03:01. | |
given these very difficult times to leave this country without a budget. | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
According to some the Lib Dems have sold their support cheaply. | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
shows the her doing something, but the Labour government has been | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
condemning the Liberals roundly. The orbits needed a partner. | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
Today's deal means there is a clear idea how the money will be divided | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
next year. The deal has to be stamped in an assembly fought in | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
less than a fortnight. Let us speak to hour correspondent | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
at the Assembly. How much other surprise was the announcement | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
today? The timing was a surprise. People thought it might go right | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
down to the wire. What is perhaps not a surprise that the deal is | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
with the Liberal Democrat. I am told the price that plied country | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
was asking was too expensive. It is also good for the Lib Dems in that | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
being seen to do a deal with Labour here detoxify rises to an extent | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
their view of left-wing voters were unhappy with the Coalition between | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
the Lib Dems and the Conservatives in Westminster. This is very | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
significant for the stability of Carmen Jones's government? Wales to | :04:24. | :04:33. | |
the Budget. Government needed a Budget. �20 million, which the Lib | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
Dems have extracted, what does that mean? It is not that much money. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
But when you apply it to actual schools on the ground the sounds | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
they will be receiving in some cases are tens of thousands of | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
pounds extra, up to �100,000 in some areas, so it is not | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
insignificant for schools and is not insignificant for the political | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
fortunes of the Liberal Democrat. Another baby is suspected to have | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
been infected with ecoli at Swansea's Singleton hospital. The | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
latest case involves a baby who is carrying the bacteria - without any | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
signs of infection. An independent review has been announced into the | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
deaths of two premature babies at the hospital. The maternity unit is | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
currently only open to full-term babies following the deaths. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
And there is a helpline set up for women who are due to give birth at | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Singleton Hospital and may have worries. The number is 07747 615 | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:36. | ||
627. Around 300 people have attended a | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
memorial in the Swansea Valley for the four miners who died at the | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Gleision colliery in September. The service, at St Peters Church in | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Pontardawe, also remembered five year old Harry Patterson who died | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
in a car accident outside his home near the mine in the same week. | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
Kate Morgan reports. They came to remember their loved | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
:06:07. | :06:11. | ||
ones. In memory of Charles. We like this candle in memory of Gary. | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
tragedies struck this community within one week. These men were | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
killed when a mine flooded at Gleision colliery two months ago. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
The first minister met with families at the service and spoke | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
of what he felt. To date all of wheels remembers with you. God | :06:39. | :06:49. | |
:06:49. | :06:49. | ||
bless you. Two days earlier and near the main a five-year-old boy | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
was killed in an accident. Today his school friends paid their own | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
:07:05. | :07:15. | ||
This afternoon five families from the community came together over at | :07:15. | :07:22. | |
their loss. 300 people in the area joined them to offer support. | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
Everybody knows somebody who was involved. There was a sense of loss | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
that somehow it these people have been lost. There for the express | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
:07:45. | :07:49. | ||
compassion and care. The service to the has been very well attended. I | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
think we can all share in the sentiment. We are hoping that the | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
valley can now move on. Hopefully the families realised be are still | :07:59. | :08:09. | |
:08:09. | :08:12. | ||
there for them in the future. was a tragedy. I cannot begin to | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
imagine what the family's went through and hard going through. It | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
is affecting so many people in different ways. It is been two | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
months since grief struck at the heart of this community, but today | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
tribute was paid. The wife of the former First | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Minister Rhodri Morgan says she may have been a victim of phone hacking. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Julie Morgan, the Labour AM for Cardiff North, says she's been in | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
contact with police over calls made to her phone in 2005 and 2006. She | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
said the calls had come from News International, the owners of the | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:02. | ||
News of the World. The company says it's co-operating with police. | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
first couple of Welsh politics. In 2005 Julie Morgan was in Parliament | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
and her husband was first minister. But were people listening in to her | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
phone messages? She has been told she is a potential victim of phone | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
hacking - something that came as a shock. I was very shocked. I was | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
:09:35. | :09:35. | ||
upset. I felt angry. I am only finding out five years later when | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
it is difficult to see back and see what was happening. Since 2005 it | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
has come to light that journalist of the News of the world were | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
listening to messages. An inquiry is up and running. According to one | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
former newspaper editor that if there is doing enormous damage to | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
the industry. The image of journalists will have taken a knock | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
this week. There is no doubt about that. People will remember things | :10:09. | :10:18. | |
like this. It will cause damage. It will make it harder for journalists | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
to to their work. On Monday the inquiry will hear from Charlotte | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
Church. She says that it has had a brutal impact on her family's life. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
The inquiry is wide-ranging and will take time to go to a | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
conclusion. The hacking scandal has touched a great many people. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
A serial rapist and paedophile who tried to evade justice by going on | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
the run has been jailed for 18 years at Cardiff Crown Court. 43 | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
year old Edwin Smith from Bargoed, near Caerphilly, carried out sex | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
attacks on girls and women between 1985 and 2006. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Tolls on both of the Severn Bridges are to rise again from the | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
beginning of next year. Crossing into Wales by car will now cost �6. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
That's 30 pence more than the current charge. The price for small | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
goods vehicles and small buses has also gone up - by 60 pence, while | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
heavy goods vehicles and buses will pay �18.10. That's an increase of | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
90 pence. It is considered of the most | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
picturesque parts of the country, but new figures show that workers | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
in parts of Gwynedd are amongst the lowest paid in the UK. Median | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
earnings in the Dwyfor Meironydd are almost �10,000 a years less | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:42. | ||
than in the most affluent area of Cardiff. Here's Roger Pinney. Do | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
open for business but not bristling with trade. If you worked here you | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
are probably in tourism or retailing or farming. There is not | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
much else. The tourist trade is incredibly seasonal. I spoke to one | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
businessman here he told me that 75 % of his annual take comes in just | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
six weeks. Around the town is events of that. Shops closed for | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
the winter season. When they are close they are not employing anyone. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
No wonder pay here tends to be lower than anywhere else in the UK. | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
Even those shots which were open struggle at this time of year. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
have to try and make as much as you can in the summer. You are relying | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
:12:40. | :12:41. | ||
on decent weather. According to the latest figures average pay for this | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
:12:51. | :13:01. | ||
latest figures average pay for this But businesses here you keep going. | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
This woman is a hairdresser. For while she moved away from the town, | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
but came back and found a full-time job. Many of her contemporaries | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
have not. It is difficult. I am lucky because they went to college | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
and trained. I was lucky to get the job at the end of it. It is | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
difficult. I moved to the wholesale trade. I have also got a shop and a | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
chip shop. This man is a businessman and local councillor. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
The problem he says his lack of opportunity. Since we lost the air | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
base, the nuclear power station, we lost jobs that were a bit more | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
specialised. Those people moved away. If you once he went to a | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
specialist job in engineering or something like that you have to | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
move away from the area. It is all about geography and is | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
difficult to see how the kind of skilled jobs that pay well can ever | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
Still to come in the programme - Escaping harsh conditions. A | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
hundred thousand starlings come to Companies involved in forestry are | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
warning of job losses in the industry if plans to merge bodies | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
which look after the environment go ahead. Proposals to combine the | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Countryside Council, the Forestry Commission and Environment Agency | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
in Wales could be approved next week. More from our environment | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
correspondent, Iolo ap Dafydd. From forests to flood protection, | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
caring for our environment is in the hands of three public bodies. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
The Countryside Council for wears advises the Welsh Government on | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
land management and wildlife. The Environment Agency is responsible | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
for the quality of air and water as well as flooding. Protecting trees | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
is done by the Forestry Commission. After nine months' work a business | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
plan supporting merging the three into a single environment body is | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
now ready for the Welsh Government to consider. We understand the | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
strong record of commercial forestry in Wales very much helped | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
by the Forestry Commission. The business case will consider and | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
evaluate whether anything would be lost or not through the creation of | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
a single environment body. 10,000 people are directly employed in | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
forestry in Wales, worth over �840 million annually to the economy. | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
Half of the commission's income comes from selling what. If the | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
merger goes ahead, the manager here says it could supply -- affect | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
their supply. If our supply of raw material is not assured and we | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
don't have the support of the Forestry Commission to ensure our | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
raw material chain is maintained, we would not be in a position to | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
invest in new technology and new jobs at the site. These contract is | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
in mid Wales are members of the industry association which has been | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
canvassing the government not to include the Forestry Commission in | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
its merger plans. There are two parallel courses. You have got | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
their natural environment framework which is about the legislative and | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
policy side of things and then you have the proposal of a new body. At | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
the moment, as things stand, the legislation will not happen until | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
2015 wears the merger will happen in 2013. We are putting the cart | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
the height -- before the horse. environment body will affect most | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
people in Wales if it gets the go- ahead. There are still some awkward | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
questions for the Welsh Government to consider. How can the same | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
organisation in future assume and advising and a regulating role on | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
the environment? B gas fired power station near Pembroke Dock is a | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
case in point. They can decide Council advised that Welsh | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
Government it could be violating European law. The Environment | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
Agency gave the plans a permit to operate. In future, the same body | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
could be asking the questions and giving the answers. Claire is here | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
now with the day's sport. Good evening. Let's start with rugby. It | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
is a Welsh derby tonight in the Pro12 as the Scarlets welcome the | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Dragons. Stephen Jones will captain the home side marking his 300th | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
appearance for the club. After being dropped from the Wales squad | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
he has opted to play for the Scarlets rather than the Barbarians | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
tomorrow. The Dragons are looking to move out | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
of the bottom two in the Pro12 table. Let's go live to Parc y | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
Scarlets now. Scrum V's Ross Harries is there for us. Both sides | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
are missing key personnel and Nigel Davies admitting that the vultures | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
have been circling for some of his players, the likes of George North | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
and Rhys Priestland. The Scarlets have become victims of | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
their own success. They have spent a lot of money and investing in | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
youth and developing players from within the region. Many were picked | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
and shone at the World Cup. That means some richer foreign clubs | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
have come looking around. Nigel Davies had the foresight to sign | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
some of them up for a long term contracts. I am joined by Kingsley | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
Jones and Robert Jones. It is a catch 22 for the coaches. You | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
invest in the coach it -- been the young players and the rich clubs | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
come sniffing around. Welsh rugby is buoyant at the moment. The | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
players make those mistakes, they learn from them and they're top of | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
their game at 23. That emphasises how important academies are, to | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
make sure you have the next group coming up behind. He would like to | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
see some loyalty from the players. If it is a matter of �15,000 more, | :19:06. | :19:14. | |
you hope they will stay with you. The some of the French clubs can | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
:19:24. | :19:24. | ||
give double the salary. Wales are playing Australia next weekend but | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
many players are missing. At the dinner that the results in Europe, | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
the Welsh clubs have done fantastically well. Very | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
disappointing for the coaches. Nigel Davies has mentioned that | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
today. It is an opportunity for youngsters to show what they are | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
capable of. We have a crop of young players coming through. There are | :19:49. | :19:58. | |
more coming through again. How hopefully the Scarlets can perform. | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
An opportunity for some of them to stake a claim tonight. Scrum V live | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
is at 7:00pm on BBC Two Wales. Last night the Cardiff Blues | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
notched up their biggest win for two-and-half years as they thrashed | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
their Italian opponent, Aironi, 38- 0. The Blues's bonus point takes | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
them to third in the Pro12 table. Gavin Henson says he hopes to play | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
for the club in a fortnight. Out in Australia at the IRB Rugby | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
World Sevens, Wales are through to the quarter-finals after beating | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
England this morning. They ran in three tries to win 21-7, the result | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
seeing them top of Pool D. They also beat Scotland and Tonga. They | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
will play Fiji in the quarter- finals tomorrow morning. | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Football - Swansea City welcome Aston Villa to the Liberty Stadium | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
on Sunday. Cardiff City are in action tomorrow against Nottingham | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Forest and midfielder Peter Whittingham will once again be a | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:06. | ||
marked man after an exceptional For the past few weeks it has been | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
a case of getting the ball to Peter Whittingham and watching him fire | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
it into the net. His long-range shooting is one of the reasons why | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
Cardiff have climbed to third in the championship. For once this | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
week, Peter Whittingham got -- was part of the match when he did not | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
score. He was helping to coach a team from which it high school who | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
were taking part in the npower Football League Girls Cup. Peter | :21:32. | :21:42. | |
:21:42. | :21:45. | ||
Whittingham is back to the championship tomorrow. I am happy | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
with how things are going. We are picking up some good winds and | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
unbeaten in quite a few games which is good for the confidence. Swansea | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
City have another home match on Sunday against Aston Volette, the | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
sort of game they need to win to ensure their top-flight survival. - | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
- Aston Villa. They could have got something out of the game against | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Manchester United but Brendan Rodgers feels he needs to add to | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
his board in January. I wanted to assess it through to | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
January. The players have arrived - - have just arrived in this | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
position. It gives us the opportunity to stay in the league | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
and they feel we need between four and six players to ensure we keep | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
the strength in depth. In the Blue Square best Premier, Wrexham are | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
still the team to beat. The takeover by the supporters' Trust | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
has still not been ratified. The Conference leaders are away to | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
Braintree tomorrow. Newport County's battle is that the other | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
end of the table. They're in the relegation zone but hope for three | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
points against -- Luton tomorrow. From Bluebirds to starlings, and | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
lots of them. It is estimated that one hundred thousand starlings have | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
descended on wetlands in Llanelli. They are roosting in the reed beds | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
in the Millennium Wetlands and are providing quite a sight for anyone | :23:08. | :23:17. | |
in the area as Carwyn Jones has 's they arrive at sunset in small | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
numbers at first and then gradually merging into a bigger flock. The | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
skyline is a swirling cloud of black. Around one and 1,000 | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
starlings have Jews and -- chosen to roost here. It is a spectacular | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
sight. They can turn very quickly. You don't bump into the person next | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
year. You keep close but to change when they change. It is fascinating. | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
This vast flock is a mixture of native starlings on those who have | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
flown from Russia and northern Europe. The birds first arrived | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
about a month ago just a few hundred at first and then thousands, | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
then tens of thousands. They had been starlings here before but | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
never in this number. We think it is because the way the reed beds | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
are cut. It is good shelter for them, they like to roost in numbers. | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
It looks like they are coming here because we can support a vast | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
number of starlings. It's thought the starlings will remain here for | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
the winter and then in spring they will fly after sunnier climes to | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
mate. It looked a beautiful evening in | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
Llanelli. What a sight. What is it This time last year, it was much | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
colder with snow. It is not going to be this -- that cold. It is | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
going to be mild in comparison but strong winds and gales and the | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
forecast. The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning. The | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
strongest wind expected in the north over the weekend. This | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
evening will be dry but overnight clouding over. If you spot of light | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
rain with the wind easing as well for a time. The lowest temperature | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
around three degrees Celsius in Knighton. Tomorrow a's charter | :25:17. | :25:25. | |
shows low pressure in the Atlantic. Tomorrow, a few bright or sunny | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
intervals but generally cloudy with spot of light rain and drizzle at | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
times. That will be mainly on the high ground. Mostly dry with | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
temperatures higher than today, 13 degrees Celsius but feeling chilly | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
out in the wind. The south-westerly wind fresh to strong. Gales in the | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
north. They could be wind gusts of 70 mph. It would be wise to stay | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
off the Mounties if you are walking. Tomorrow night, some drizzle and | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
rain after midnight. Very windy with strong to a goal force winds. | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
On Sunday, good news, the weather will cheer up. It will become dry | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
and much brighter with some sunshine. The wind easing and | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
feeling cooler. A couple of events for you. The Hay-on-Wye winter food | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
fair is taking place tomorrow. There is a Christmas Craft Fair in | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
:26:34. | :26:35. | ||
Next week will start dry for the winter fare in Builth Wales. There | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
is a hint of colder weather in December but no sign yet of another | :26:39. | :26:48. | |
A reminder of the top stories. Heathrow tells passengers to expect | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
delays of up to 12 hours on the day of the public sector strike next | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
week. The airport asks planes to arrive half-empty as it was | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
passengers of the danger of gridlock. | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Labour and Liberal Democrats have agreed a deal over the Welsh budget | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
worth �14.5 billion. The Conservatives are Plaid Cymru say | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
the Lib Dems have sold out but the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, said | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
it would help the economy. It is an agreement to secure a budget for | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
the people of Wales, it was done after a lot of detailed negotiation | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
and what is important now we can look forward to securing the | :27:27. | :27:31. |
