:03:24. > :03:29.Wales, we have a leader who can speak for you all. I'm delighted
:03:29. > :03:32.for Leanne Wood. As a feminist, I'm delighted that Plaid Cymru has

:04:04. > :04:13.I was worried, thinking Elin Jones would win it because she is the

:04:33. > :04:36.I think Leanne Wood has the power to take pride Cymru forward and
:04:36. > :04:40.it's an exciting time to be a member.
:04:40. > :04:45.Leanne Wood is on the left of Welsh politics. She says she's palate --
:04:45. > :04:48.passionate about social justice and economic renewal. She now has the
:04:48. > :04:57.opportunity to set her party on a path she hopes Welsh voters will
:04:57. > :05:03.follow. Nobody described Leanne Wood as a safe pair of hands but
:05:03. > :05:07.that is probably what won her the leadership today. She became the
:05:07. > :05:10.favourite and then slipped back. There were enough pride can be
:05:10. > :05:13.voters in Wales who wanted to see real, real change.
:05:13. > :05:16.Leanne Wood was regarded by many as the rank outsider. Just 40-years-
:05:16. > :05:19.old, the mum-of-one from the Rhondda was the youngest candidate.
:05:19. > :05:21.And she hadn't held a top political position like former cabinet member

:06:07. > :06:13.social worker, Leanne Wood was the first Welsh politician to start a
:06:13. > :06:18.weekly podcast from her website. Very good! Very impressive!

:06:35. > :06:39.her of. She would like me for saying this
:06:39. > :06:44.but I compare her to Tony Blair, who had never it -- who had no
:06:44. > :06:51.government experience and ended up at Number 10. Leanne Wood won't
:06:51. > :06:55.like the comparison but I don't think you need experience of being
:06:55. > :07:00.a deputy leader before you become leader. You stand on a platform and
:07:00. > :07:03.take a chance. Sometimes you when, sometimes you lose. Leanne Wood
:07:03. > :07:08.fought the best campaign and that is why she has one today.
:07:08. > :07:14.Leanne Wood's finest political hour came when she exposed excesses at
:07:14. > :07:19.the Wales Audit Office, which included a severance payment of
:07:19. > :07:24.�750,000 to the then Auditor General, Jeremy Colman. Her
:07:24. > :07:28.political agenda has evolved around a document she published, the green
:07:28. > :07:32.print for the valleys which reinforced her belief that co-
:07:32. > :07:37.operative formed the basis of any economic resurgence in Wales. Those
:07:37. > :07:40.policies will now be put to the test, to prove the high-profile

:07:53. > :07:58.leader of Plaid Cymru. Do you think you one because you are not Ieuan
:07:58. > :08:02.Wyn Jones? I think members wanted a change and
:08:02. > :08:07.to go in a different direction but I think members would say that
:08:07. > :08:13.Ieuan Wyn Jones has made a great contribution to Plaid Cymru as
:08:13. > :08:21.leader. He has been Sjoerd we now have a parliament in Wales so I
:08:21. > :08:25.want to pay tribute. But you are going to change things?
:08:25. > :08:31.I intend to plough a different furrow. We need to put the economy
:08:31. > :08:35.at the top of our agenda. People are looking for solutions to the
:08:35. > :08:41.problems they face. The lack of jobs, the lack of money, the lack
:08:41. > :08:46.of security. As a party, we need to offer hope to people that Wales can
:08:46. > :08:51.be better and different in future. Critics from within the party said
:08:51. > :08:55.he had good ideas but put them under scrutiny and they are in
:08:55. > :08:59.danger of crumbling. They are nervous. What is your message to
:08:59. > :09:04.them? I've put a lot of ideas out there.
:09:04. > :09:09.Maybe the party went round with all of them but in Plaid Cymru, we have
:09:09. > :09:13.a tremendous group of talented people and I think if we can take
:09:13. > :09:18.the ideas I've put out there and put all those talents and best
:09:18. > :09:25.brains we've got in the party together, we can come up with a
:09:25. > :09:29.robust plan for turning around the Welsh economy and to develop a
:09:29. > :09:35.successful Wales for the future. When the Queen visits, the Assembly
:09:35. > :09:40.across the water, would you shake hands? How would you behave this
:09:41. > :09:47.time went Mrs Windsor is in town? I said I will do what is
:09:48. > :09:52.constitutionally necessary and as leader of the party, we will need
:09:53. > :09:58.to be represented. I'm not going to be happy participating. I'm a
:09:58. > :10:03.strong Republican. People know that. That has been clear. At the same
:10:03. > :10:08.time, the role of party leader is different to that of a backbencher.
:10:08. > :10:13.I would still like to give the backbenchers the freedom to do what

:21:40. > :21:44.I am from South Wales and my question is, what has been your
:21:44. > :21:51.biggest challenge whilst organising the game's?
:21:51. > :21:58.The biggest challenge, really, is you are in one of our venues. There
:21:58. > :22:04.are 26 Olympic sports, 20 Paralympic sports. They are like
:22:04. > :22:09.world championships. We have to deliver, in our Olympic terms, 26
:22:09. > :22:14.simultaneous world championships all in the space of 16 days.
:22:15. > :22:20.The experience was brilliant. It was nice to meet Sebastian Coe and
:22:20. > :22:24.to go around the Olympic village. It's not finished yet. I'm sure
:22:24. > :22:29.they will finish in time. It looks amazing so far and I can't wait
:22:29. > :22:32.until the Olympics start. I think we agree that Sophie and
:22:32. > :22:37.all of it did a great job. Let's have a chat with the other
:22:37. > :22:42.reporters. What did you enjoy most about the day?
:22:42. > :22:47.I enjoyed just learning how to work as a team, how to put a news report
:22:47. > :22:56.together and being part of a project.
:22:56. > :23:00.Harry, what did you find the most challenging?
:23:00. > :23:05.I found during a story on the computer quite challenging because
:23:05. > :23:10.you had to go on the internet and find different stories. That was
:23:10. > :23:13.pretty hard. Has it given you a taste for life
:23:13. > :23:17.as a journalist? Definitely.
:23:17. > :23:24.Briefly, what have you learnt today?
:23:24. > :23:27.We learned how to work as a group and we have learnt how to write
:23:27. > :23:31.everything and do a story. If we had the chance again, we would do
:23:32. > :23:39.it. I'm sure everyone would agree with me.
:23:39. > :23:43.There is an important task still to do and Kayleigh is going to help me.
:23:43. > :23:53.A bit cloudy here today in Lampeter. Let's take a look at the weather
:23:53. > :23:57.
:23:57. > :24:05.The weather's been quiet in Lampeter this week. High pressure
:24:05. > :24:08.bringing a mixture of sunshine, low cloud, mist, fog and drizzle. Mind
:24:08. > :24:12.you, the weather is on the change. Pressure is falling. The breeze
:24:12. > :24:16.will pick-up tomorrow with some rain on the way. So tonight is
:24:16. > :24:19.cloudy. Drizzle in the south and west. Mist and hill fog. Dry and
:24:19. > :24:25.clearer in the north-east. Lowest temperatures five Celsius along the
:24:25. > :24:30.border. Seven on the Carmarthenshire coast. Tomorrow's
:24:30. > :24:33.chart shows a cold front over Ireland and that is heading our way.
:24:33. > :24:37.So tomorrow the north-east will start off dry and bright. A little
:24:37. > :24:42.sunshine in Welshpool but most of the country cloudy. Spots of
:24:42. > :24:48.drizzle in the south and west. Hill fog. Temperatures in Dolgellau
:24:48. > :24:52.seven Celsius with a fresh breeze on the Lleyn Peninsula. So the best
:24:52. > :24:56.of the weather tomorrow in the north-east and the Marches. Dry and
:24:56. > :25:01.bright. Elsewhere mostly cloudy and later in the afternoon some rain
:25:01. > :25:05.will spread into western counties. Breezier tomorrow. Top temperatures
:25:05. > :25:09.10 to 13 Celsius with a south- westerly wind. Tomorrow evening
:25:09. > :25:12.rain will spread further east. Overnight the north and west
:25:12. > :25:16.becoming dry but the south and south-east into Powys may turn wet.
:25:16. > :25:23.On Saturday some dry weather. If you're lucky you may see the sun
:25:23. > :25:27.but on the whole a lot of cloud. Some rain and heavy showers as well.
:25:27. > :25:30.So if you're in Cardiff for the Six Nations final. I predict a great
:25:30. > :25:35.atmosphere. A few showers and a win for Wales. On Sunday, the weather
:25:35. > :25:38.is set to improve. A few showers. These wintry on the hills and
:25:38. > :25:40.mountains but during the day it should become dry and brighter with
:25:41. > :25:44.some sunshine. Sunday night into Monday cold with a slight frost.
:25:44. > :25:46.Next week turning milder, damp and breezy for a time but from the
:25:47. > :25:49.middle of the week the weather looks like settling down with
:25:49. > :25:57.rising temperatures. By the way, Trefnant Bowling Club are holding a
:25:57. > :25:58.Table Top Sale on Saturday. Everyone is welcome.
:25:58. > :26:01.A reminder of our top story tonight:
:26:01. > :26:04.Leanne Wood is the new leader of Plaid Cymru. The Assembly member
:26:04. > :26:13.for South Wales Central beat the bookies' favourite Elin Jones into
:26:13. > :26:21.second place in the contest to succeed Ieuan Wyn Jones. She said
:26:21. > :26:25.people were looking to the party We need to put the economy at the
:26:26. > :26:30.top of our agenda. People are looking for solutions for the
:26:30. > :26:33.problems they face. The lack of jobs, security. We need to offer
:26:33. > :26:36.hope to people. For the last word tonight, back to
:26:36. > :26:42.our Political Editor Betsan Powys. Betsan, what do we think this will
:26:42. > :26:46.mean for the party? Change, is the simple answer to
:26:46. > :26:51.that. What members have made clear today is they were ready for change.
:26:51. > :26:55.They have taken a punt and some of them know that. They have done it
:26:55. > :27:01.because they felt so strongly that it was time for things to change.
:27:01. > :27:06.She was the candidate least like Ieuan Wyn Jones. People said, we
:27:06. > :27:11.are going to vote for her with hearts, not heads. Others said that
:27:11. > :27:14.she wouldn't win. She has now and some are concerned about those
:27:14. > :27:20.policies, will they stand up to scrutiny that the other parties
:27:20. > :27:25.will put on them? Her supporters are confident that she will deliver
:27:25. > :27:30.real change. Her job is persuading the 45% who didn't vote for her
:27:30. > :27:34.that she can deliver that changed. That's Wales Today. I'll have
