Welcome to Wales today. The top story. | :00:08. | :00:15. | |
Bon Marche is sold, nearly half of its stores will close. The break-up | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
:00:25. | :00:35. | ||
The other headlines. Why are so many being admitted as | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
emergencies for breathing problems? Figures are after a ten-year high. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
This United Kingdom, what English voters think about the way we are | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
governed since devolution. The Scottish have got theirs, the | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
Welsh have got theirs, why can the English not have theirs? | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Peter Hain admits some in the last government did not want Cardiff Bay | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
to have for law-making powers. Wales arrived in Poland as part of | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
their Six Nations training. They are reduced to the big freeze | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
chamber, but how will our reporter cope with temperatures plummeting | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
to -120 degrees? I can barely feel my legs! I want | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
:01:27. | :01:28. | ||
Good evening. It is the beginning of the break-up | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
of peacocks. 1400 jobs and 160 stores around Britain will go at | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Bon Marche, the clothing chain which formed part of the collapse | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Welsh we Taylor. It is being sold to a private equity company. There | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
are just under 30 stores in Wales. Some of the staff have been told | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
what is happening, others say they have been left in the dark. 230 | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
stores saved, but not without some casualties. Yes, on Thursday, we | :02:02. | :02:08. | |
found out that half of the staff at the HQ in Cardiff have been made | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
redundant, and another significant day in what is the break-up of the | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
group as we know it. Bon Marche, the Yorkshire-based retailer chain | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
bought by the Peacock Group 10 years ago, it has been sold to a | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
:02:33. | :02:34. | ||
private equity company. 27 stores in Wales. In the UK, at 160 stores | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
will close, 230 remaining. 2400 staff remaining. To some extent, it | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
could have been worse. Considering this company is obviously insolvent. | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
We do not know exactly which stores will close and which ones will | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
survive. To get a bit of reaction, we have been out in Aberystwyth. | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
These shoppers told us they are concerned. | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
I am disappointed at what is happening. All of the charity shops | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
and temporary shops, it is really sad. Very sad. We will miss it. My | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
mother will be 99, I purchased a lot of things from here. It is | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
ideal. It holds a niche market. For my sort of age. I quite often come | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
:03:38. | :03:39. | ||
here and chop. -- shop. It has got a good selection of women's clothes. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
Let's talk about Peacocks. The administrators are trying to sell | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
it. Any developments? The fate of 600 stores and concessions | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
belonging to them around the UK, it is uncertain. Attempts by the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
administrator to try to find a buyer will begin in earnest this | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
week. The financial books will be made available to any organisations. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
We are told 100 companies have expressed an interest in purchasing | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
the company. That should come as some relief and hope to the staff, | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
hoping to save their jobs. In terms of the Time Inc, there is no | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
specific deadline for any first round bits, but we would expect the | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
process to take around a week. Emergency admissions to hospital | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
caused by lung diseases have reached a ten-year high. Last year | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
saw his huge rise in cases of pneumonia. Patients are having to | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
wait too long for support to help manage their conditions. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Day and night, whenever she goes, Shelley Richards has to stay | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
connected to her oxygen supply. She has COPD. It is something she can | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
manage most days, but there have been emergencies. They have caused | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
her to be rushed to hospital. a nightmare. It is so frightening. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
You just wonder what they will be able to do to make it easier. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
Unfortunately, you are left on a trolley until they find you a bed. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
You do not always get on to the board. Then, you get frightened. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
One in five of the Welsh population has some form of lung disease, with | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
it the asthma, into seam-up or bronchitis. It is taking its toll | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
on our hospitals. Last year, there were 46,000 emergency admissions. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
That includes an 18% rise in one year in cases of pneumonia, by far | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
the biggest rise for any loan condition. Why the big increase? | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Doctors say they could be a link to flu cases, but they warned there is | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
also an underlying trend. We are an ageing population, and older people | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
are more likely to suffer from chest complaints, especially | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
pneumonia. Over time, there has been a substantial increase in | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
certain diseases, particularly those associated with smoking. | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
the NHS is to cope, the British Lung Foundation says it has to | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
improve. It is not fair to people with them and conditions if they | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
have to wait for something like Pulmonary rehabilitation, because | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
the evidence shows how beneficial it is for them, but also how could | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
it is for the NHS, because it reduces hospital admissions. | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
Welsh government admit that access to clinics varies across Wales. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
They say every hot port now has a plan to try and ensure demand is | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
being met -- every every year. Church leaders have united against | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
proposals to make everyone and organ donor unless they opt for it. | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
They say the plans are ill judged, and data not believe presumed | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
consent will lead to more transplants. The Welsh government | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
says it wants as many people as possible to debate the matter. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
They said that man who died after a light aircraft crashed last week | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
has been named as Steve Carr. His family said he was a devoted and | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
loving father, husband, brother and front. The experienced pilot was | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
flying with Bob Jones, the manager of mid-Wales Airport. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
The neighbour of a pregnant teenager stabbed to death before | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
her flat was set on fire frantically tried to wake her, a | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
murder trial has heard. Nikitta Grender died two weeks before she | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
was due to give birth. Her neighbour told Newport Crown Court | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
that she knocked on the flat door for 10 minutes after realising | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
there was a fire inside. Carl Whant denies killing her. | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
A grown in number of English voters think devolution has made the way | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
Britain is governed for us. A report in Cardiff and Edinburgh | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
universities found a shop rise in the number of English NEETS thought | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
the Welsh Assembly has had a negative impact. Carwyn Jones has | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
called for a convention to discuss the future. | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
The two countries separated by Offa's Dyke. Now, it seems, by | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
different opinion. After two successive yes votes in recent | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
referenda, we know that people in Wales have been in favour of | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
greater devolution. But a report out today suggests people in | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
England feel they get a poor deal. The report by the IPPR and Cardiff | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
and Edinburgh universities found that 31% felt the Welsh Assembly | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
had a negative impact on how Britain is governed. That is | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
compared to 11% in 2007. About a quarter, 26%, felt that Wales had | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
its fair share of UK public spending. Only 7% felt England had | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
its fair share. 79% favoured a proposal that only English MPs | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
could vote on matters which affect England alone. Therefore, we get | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
the picture that English voters are becoming more assertively English. | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
The whole nature of the post devolution UK, which is | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
increasingly a concern to English voters, only a quarter of English | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
voters want to continue to be governed in the same way that | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
England is governed by and reformed institutions of Westminster. They | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
want to see something changed. the Severn bridge in Bristol, there | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
are contrasting views about any English side effects from | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
devolution. In Scotland and Wales, different things happen. We have to | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
pay for prescriptions, they do not. People are beginning to feel, if | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
they want to go alone, maybe we should. Maybe we should stand up | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
for being English a bit more and ask for things more. Just as they | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
do. Growing uneasiness is more reason to set up a constitutional | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
convention, says the First Minister. If these findings are correct, at | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
more impetus to the need to make sure that a thought is given to | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
what the structure of the UK should be like in the years to come. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
Should Westminster give Wales more powers? It is a question being | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
debated by the Silk Commission. Another commission is looking at | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
whether Welsh MPs should vote on matters which affect England. That | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
suggestion could appease what seems to be a current number of voters in | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
England who feel their voice is being diluted. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
No Welsh, please, you are in prison. The Prison Service has been accused | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
of undermining the rights of a Welsh-speaking Kinect by preventing | :11:07. | :11:14. | |
him from using his own language. He is serving a 16 month sentence near | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Stockton-on-Tees in the north-east of England. The Prison Service says | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
he can use Welsh but only if he gives them 48 hours' notice. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Deprived of his liberty, but should a Welsh-speaking prisoner have | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
restrictions put on his right to choose his own language? His mother | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
knows where she stands. Welsh is her son's first language, she says. | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
His own son does not speak English at all, but English is the language, | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
she says, they are being forced to use in telephone calls. He should | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
be in prison for what he has done, but do not punish us. He needs | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
punishing, but we do not, we have not done anything. Why do we have | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
to talk English? He was jailed for 16 months here after he admitted | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
aggravated vehicle taking and assault. He served part of his | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
sentence in prisons in the north- west of England. His family said | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
there was no problem there about him speaking Welsh on the telephone. | :12:20. | :12:25. | |
The difficulties began when he was moved to a prison on Teesside. It | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
is a relatively modern jail which can accommodate more than 1200 | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
prisoners. The Prison Service website says it serves primarily | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
communities on Teesside, Durham and North Yorkshire. A spokesperson | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
:12:47. | :12:55. | ||
The case has prompted fresh calls for a prison in north Wales. This | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
would not have happened, had he been kept in a jail in can often or | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
somewhere close. It is a complete injustice. The Prison Service say | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
he might be able to speak Welsh if he gives two days' notice. That is | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
fair enough, but what the Prison told me was, it is expensive, they | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
cannot do that. That is not good enough. It is not good enough for | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
his mother. She says she will not give up on this without a fight. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
Her son continues to serve out his sentence. He is due to be released | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
in June. Much more to come before 7pm. | :13:33. | :13:37. | |

Campaigners in command and say they are considering legal action to | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
stop a housing development that could see over 1,000 new homes | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
being built. Carmarthen West was earmarked for 600 houses in 2006 | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
but under a new development plan, that could double to 1,200. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
It's on these green fields that the council believes the count -- the | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
town of Carmarthen should expand. Come off and has a population of | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
about 15,000. That could increase by 81 10th. The latest plan, due to | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
run from 2016 onwards, calls for more than 1,000 new homes to be | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
built here. The county council maintain the area behind me was | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
designated for 600 houses in 2000 - - in 2006. Opponents say any new | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
houses should be developed in the new plan which is currently being | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
drawn up. We think people have been misled | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
during the consultation process last summer to object to this | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
development I am not aware of what any grounds for a judicial review | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
would be. The extent is not changing. We are | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
being quoted a figure of 600 instead of 1,200. Some of that 600 | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
has already been delivered and the programme of the next few faces | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
would not exceed that figure before 2016. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
Supporters of the new homes say they will build -- bring investment | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
to the town but opponents say it will put a strain on services and | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
damage the Welsh language. The battle for the future of | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Carmarthenshire could be decided by the courts. | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Nearly 50 factory workers in Swansea could lose their jobs after | :15:47. | :15:49. | |

Opera star, Bryn Terfel is moving his summer music festival from | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
Gwynedd to London. The Faenol Festival has been cancelled in | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
recent years due to poor ticket sales. It started in 2000 and | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
attracted big names in music to North Wales, including Jose | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
Carreras and Shirley Bassey. The Welsh festival will be held this | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
year at the South Bank Centre's 21 acre site in July. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
Ministers in the last Labour government tried to block plans to | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
give the National Assembly full law-making powers. That's according | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
to the former Secretary of State for Wales, Peter Hain, in his | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
memoirs, published today, Mr Hain says some Cabinet colleagues were | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
obstructive and that Tony Blair never gave Wales proper respect and | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
attention. He has been speaking to our correspondent. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
It is a background unique among Welsh politicians. He began in | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
South Africa, where his parents were imprisoned and bound for anti- | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
apartheid activity. Some of my earliest memories are | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
being woken in the middle of the night and being told my parents | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
were jailed at the age of 11. Peter Hain made his own name | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
fighting apartheid from exile in Britain before winning the Neath | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
by-election 20 years ago. He spent seven years as Secretary of State | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
for Wales. I'm really looking forward to | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
working with Rhodri Morgan, both in taking forward Wales to be a world- | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
class Wales and making sure that I can support the Assembly. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
He tells of her cabinet colleagues threatened to derail his plans to | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
give the Assembly full law-making powers. | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Principally John Prescott, to some extent Jack Straw and Rita Geoff | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
Hoon, who were obstructive. -- later Geoff Hoon. I had to say to | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
the Cabinet, you either back me on this or I can't do the job. | :17:58. | :18:05. | |
Last year's referendum earned full law-making powers. The Wales office | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
was downgraded and he said that was evidence Tony Blair and his team | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
never gave Wales the proper respect and attention given to Scotland. Mr | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Hain's ministerial career was interrupted by a criminal | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
investigation into donations to his campaign to become deputy leader. | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
I sincerely regret the mistake in declaring donations late. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
He was cleared but the book reveals how he received a sympathetic | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
letter from the Prince of Wales, something which would have shocked | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
the younger, more radical Peter Hain. | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
Not only did I never imagined I would be getting letters from the | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Prince of Wales, I might have been horrified by the thought as I was | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
carried by police officers down Downing Street. | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
He admits he has moved to the centre since his live -- his youth | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
and says the younger Peter Hain would have thought he had become | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
more establishment. Cardiff Blues take on a Leinster in | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
the Heineken Cup quarter-finals. The Blues were thrashed their | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
earlier this season but they hope to pull off a major shock after | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
securing a place in the last eight with a dramatic victory in their | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
final pool match. Qualifying for a European quarter- | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
final is a major achievement yet if there weren't many players | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
celebrating after beating racing Metro. Word had come through from | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Scotland that rivals Edinburgh had one and got a bonus point. That | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
meant they topped the group, smashing a home quarter-final which | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
could and should have been the Blues. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
The Welsh region had only managed three tries in their final pool | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
game. Lloyd Williams pounced on a charge down for the first before | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Alex Cuthbert crossed twice after the ball had bounced county -- | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
kindly on both occasions. As news from Edinburgh filtered through, | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
the Blues went in search of the bonus point. Richie Rees ultimately | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
just a few inches away from booking a home quarter-final for the side. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
That meant any celebrations were muted. Players and fans both | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
realising that they now faced a much harder task in the quarter- | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
finals. On tonight's performance, I don't | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
think they would go further. If we had a proper outside half, we | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
might have qualified. On this campaign and then, I cannot | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
see us beating Leinster. They got every chance, they need to | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
pay more enthusiastically. The Scarlets European campaign also | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
continues after Aaron Shingler's sprint helped them beat Castres. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
They now face brief in the quarter- finals. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Swansea City's the say of winning promotion has contributed to a loss. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
The club board say bonuses and transfer fees were among the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
reasons but income from the first season in the Premier League should | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
cancel out the losses next year. Frustration for Swansea this | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
weekend. Despite dominating possession against Sunderland, they | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
couldn't find a way through. Martin O'Neill's side won the three points. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
In the championship, plenty of goals at Cardiff City game against | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
Portsmouth but a winner saw them fight back to win 3-2. They face | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup semi-final tomorrow. Wrexham beat | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Kettering and Newport County drew against Forest Green. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
The Wales Millennium Centre will be home to 600 judo competitors over | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
the next few days instead of the usual musical entertainment. 24 | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
nations will compete in the judo championships. The over-thirties | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
were in action today with the juniors competing tomorrow. The | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
Welsh team consists of 70 members, one of which is Tracey Hall, he got | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
back into the sport after encouraging her sons. | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
To be honest with you, my nerves, I thought I couldn't do it but when I | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
got on the mat, everything comes back to you. Undead I've done it. I | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
wouldn't be on stage with anything else. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
14 hours a day of intensive training and sessions inside a | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
cryotherapy chamber where temperatures plummet to -120 | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
degrees. All in a day's work for the Wales rugby squad. They have | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
just arrived in Poland for the sessions. Gethin Jenkins hasn't | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
troubled due to a knee injury. The regime seemed to pay-off last year | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
at the World Cup but how would you cope with what has been dubbed the | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
evil sauna? Our reporter went to see what it takes to handle the | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
deep freeze. Wales began their preparation for | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the World Cup in the centre of Poland. This time they are back but | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
on the northern Baltic coast. The training centre is located 50 miles | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
north, right on the coast. The government owned facility will | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
offer the Welsh squad everything they need. One of the main reasons | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
for returning to Poland is the belief in the positive benefits of | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
cryotherapy. You get into the chamber, which can | :23:10. | :23:19. | |
be anything from -128 to -150. It allows us to do a lot of training. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
Explosive movements and then into skill sets. That is really | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
important to us. We have only got a limited time to prepare. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
A couple of times you get a bit nervous going in there because you | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
can't see anything that is in front of you. It is freezing cold. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Personally, it is not too bad. You get in your little place and sing a | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
song. No point coming all the way to | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Poland without trying this out but at 100 -- at -120 degrees, it seems | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
to have a cold and I am slightly apprehensive. I have some | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
compulsory kit and I'm going to do some tests to see if I am fit | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
:24:07. | :24:23. | ||
Oh, God. I can barely feel my legs. I want to swear. I shouldn't. That | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
was an experience. I don't think I want to do it again. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
The Baltic coast is a pretty dull, grey, uninspiring place this time | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
of year, much like the centre behind me. That is precisely the | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
point. No temptations, no distractions, plenty of hard work | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
for the players. That formula worked ahead of the World Cup. It's | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
hoped the same thing will happen again before the Six Nations. | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
He is a brave man. Any attack -- I wouldn't rule out a cold snap in | :24:59. | :25:07. | |
February. Keep your vest handy, Jamie. It will turn milder tomorrow | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
but as is often the way, that will bring some rain and drizzle. This | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
evening his drive with clearer skies for a time and chilly. | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Temperatures for bingo enough for a touch of frost here and there. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Milder on the Pembrokeshire coast. After midnight, the temperatures | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
will start to rise with cloud bringing the rain. Tomorrow she has | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
a warm front moving across Britain, introducing mild and moist air from | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
the Atlantic. Tomorrow morning it is all change again. Cloudy and wet | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
with heavy rain and poor visibility. Lots of mist and hill fog. | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
Temperatures on the race. Nine Celsius in Carmarthenshire. We will | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
all see some rain tomorrow. It should ease of during the afternoon | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
but not completely private some patchy light rain and drizzle. Top | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
temperatures 11 Celsius. A moderate to fresh south-westerly breeze. | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
Wednesday is cloudy and windy. A little rain and drizzle. Fresh and | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
strong winds. Gales through the Irish Sea. Thursday will bring a | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
change, turning cold. Some of the showers heavy with a bit of snow on | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
the mountains. Friday is dry and bright with some sunshine. The wind | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
easing as well and at the moment, the weekend looks promising. High | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
pressure bringing sunshine and frost. Our picture this evening is | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
from will Lewis. These clouds are called Wave clouds. You can read | :26:45. | :26:55. | |

more about those on my blog. And the headlines again. Plans to | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
impose a �26,000 cap on what any family could receive on benefit | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
have run into stiff opposition in the House of Lords. A further vote | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
on whether a child benefits should be excluded from that cap is | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
currently under way. Staff who work for the clothing | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
chain Bonmarche are waiting to hear whether their jobs will be safe. | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
The company has been sold to a private equity company. As part of | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
that deal, 160 stores will close around the UK with a loss of 1,400 | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
