:00:05. > :00:15.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story - Queues at filling stations

:00:15. > :00:16.

:00:16. > :00:20.as motorists stock up fearful of a tanker driver strike. I am topping-

:00:20. > :00:25.up because of what I heard on venues, I live on the farm and I

:00:25. > :00:35.need my car. I just filled it up today instead of keeping his at my

:00:35. > :00:40.

:00:40. > :00:46.Our other headlines tonight - Your doctor's surgery should open for

:00:46. > :00:48.longer and on Saturdays - the message to GPs.

:00:48. > :00:51.Also tonight - A man is being questioned on suspicion of

:00:51. > :00:56.attempted murder following a collision between a cab and eight

:00:56. > :00:59.men in Cardiff. Casey Breese from Caersws died

:00:59. > :01:05.after a goal post fell on him - now new guidelines to prevent another

:01:05. > :01:15.tragedy. And it's seen better days, now

:01:15. > :01:17.

:01:17. > :01:20.Good evening. There've been queues at some filling stations across

:01:20. > :01:26.Wales as apparent panic buying kicked in ahead of concerns there

:01:26. > :01:29.may be a strike by tanker drivers. There's been criticism of a UK

:01:29. > :01:35.government minister who urged motorists to store spare fuel at

:01:35. > :01:40.home. Some filling stations are now running short with their operators

:01:40. > :01:50.saying it's because of the increase in demand, not supply problems.

:01:50. > :01:54.Roger Pinney reports. These days you can't get far on a

:01:54. > :01:58.10 pound. At this filling station they have restricted how many

:01:58. > :02:04.customers can buy. Just down the road they queue for fuel back up

:02:04. > :02:12.onto the road. Only a few motorists would own up to panic buying.

:02:12. > :02:15.Everybody is panicking so you can't win. That is it. I am topping-up

:02:15. > :02:21.because what I heard on the news at lunchtime, I thought, living on a

:02:21. > :02:26.farm, I need my car. I filled it up today instead of keeping it at my

:02:26. > :02:31.normal half fall. It has been really busy today and yesterday. We

:02:31. > :02:36.ran out of these so yesterday and petrol today. There's not enough to

:02:36. > :02:39.go around. I have been to half-a- dozen filling stations are the last

:02:39. > :02:44.hour and they all say they have been -- there's been a big increase

:02:44. > :02:48.in demand. Some say they are running short on diesel and others

:02:48. > :02:52.say petrol is getting low. It isn't because of any distribution

:02:52. > :02:57.problems, it is because of this rush to buy. What has kicked this

:02:57. > :03:01.off? There was this strike vote by tanker delivery drivers although

:03:01. > :03:07.any distraction it is a week away. There was this from a senior UK

:03:07. > :03:13.Government minister. There is no need for everybody to rest to the

:03:13. > :03:17.petrol station. The great extent that people have fewer when their

:03:17. > :03:21.vehicles, maybe a little bit in the garage as well, the long go will be

:03:21. > :03:31.able to keep things going. That advice has been criticised by the

:03:31. > :03:38.

:03:38. > :03:44.The UK Government advice has not gone down well with some motorists

:03:44. > :03:49.either. I think it is stupid. I really do. They haven't given

:03:49. > :03:54.notice of a strike. We have got a government coming on this morning

:03:54. > :04:00.and BBC News saying Phil a jerry can. And they're wondering why

:04:00. > :04:05.everybody is panic-buying. Absolute rubbish. Not handled well.

:04:05. > :04:11.Everybody was always going to start panic-buying. Once it came out on

:04:11. > :04:16.the news, everybody suffers. just isn't here in Wales. Demand is

:04:16. > :04:20.up by 45% across the UK. Government in Westminster and Cardiff are

:04:20. > :04:22.planning what to do if there is a strike. Motorists have reacted

:04:22. > :04:26.before then. Your GP surgery should open later

:04:26. > :04:29.in the evening and on Saturday mornings. That's what the Welsh

:04:29. > :04:33.Government wants. It published figures for opening hours for the

:04:33. > :04:37.first time today. Just under a third of surgeries are open for

:04:37. > :04:40.appointments throughout their core opening hours of 8am to 6.30pm.

:04:40. > :04:47.Another 26% came within an hour of that but 43% of practices, that's

:04:47. > :04:57.205 in Wales, were open for even shorter hours. More from Aled ap

:04:57. > :05:01.

:05:02. > :05:06.Dafydd. Good afternoon. This surgery near

:05:06. > :05:09.Caerphilly is amongst the minority in Wales. There is a doctor here to

:05:09. > :05:15.see patients between 8 o'clock in the morning at half-past six in the

:05:15. > :05:19.evening. We try to be available over the phone. The door is open as

:05:19. > :05:25.8 o'clock and we will offer appointments for blood to be taken

:05:25. > :05:31.early in the morning. We offer a ray chance for patients to make

:05:31. > :05:36.appointments on wine. We try to be as available as we can. -- online.

:05:36. > :05:40.Contracts for our doctors came into force nearly 10 years ago. The way

:05:40. > :05:46.they are implemented varies dramatically across the country.

:05:46. > :05:51.Fewer than one in three surgeries are open throughout the core hours,

:05:51. > :05:58.one health board was the worst performer. Wallace 6% of practices

:05:58. > :06:03.them at the targets. Better access to GPs was one of the headline

:06:03. > :06:11.pledges in labour's manifesto. They are trying to ease the burden on

:06:11. > :06:15.GPs. There is a great emphasis on pharmacies to provide services. It

:06:15. > :06:21.is an expectancy that doctors' surgeries will be open later in the

:06:21. > :06:24.evening and on weekends. The health minister says progress is well

:06:24. > :06:28.under way to eliminate half day closing surgeries and to extend

:06:28. > :06:34.opening hours. From April next year the Welsh Government wants greater

:06:34. > :06:38.access outside those core hours. I'm having discussions with the BMA

:06:38. > :06:43.and general practitioners, I talk to GPs all the time. We need to

:06:43. > :06:49.make sure that the News of the patients across Wales are met.

:06:49. > :06:52.Rejigging appointments can do that. The last government will not

:06:52. > :07:00.renegotiate the GP contract to try to force surgeries to open on

:07:00. > :07:05.Saturday morning. -- the Welsh Government. It will be up to health

:07:05. > :07:10.boards. The body representing doctors warning a Saturday you

:07:10. > :07:15.openings will mean cuts in other areas. There are lots of practices

:07:15. > :07:18.where the at providing a well- rounded diabetic service. More

:07:18. > :07:24.important for patients is that. It is a question of local health

:07:24. > :07:29.boards making those choices in terms of priorities. Juggling daily

:07:29. > :07:32.life with an appointment that the doctor isn't anything new. What is

:07:32. > :07:39.now being debated is how best to balance the needs of patients with

:07:39. > :07:45.the working life of doctors. Dr Peter Saul is a GP based in

:07:45. > :07:51.Wrexham and he joins me now. Good evening. For a lot of patience will

:07:51. > :07:56.wonder why all GPs' surgeries are not open for the full day.

:07:56. > :08:00.poise that the Health Minister was making are valid. There are calls

:08:00. > :08:06.opening hours and there before 8 o'clock and have parsecs. It does

:08:06. > :08:13.not mean there will be surgeries operating but there should be a

:08:13. > :08:19.doctor you can speak to. In most areas there is. Doctors don't just

:08:19. > :08:25.sit around doing surgeries. They do house calls, they do reports for

:08:25. > :08:29.patients, they have to do a lot of administrative work in line with

:08:29. > :08:33.meeting a lot of the targets of government has set, making sure

:08:33. > :08:38.that patients get the right treatment. The job has changed. If

:08:38. > :08:43.any of our viewers watched the Indian doctor, they would not

:08:43. > :08:47.recognise the way it is now. There are different ways of working.

:08:47. > :08:57.Let's pick a pub that point. Everybody is working in different

:08:57. > :09:00.ways including your patience. What about Saturday openings? Many GP

:09:01. > :09:06.practices would be quite happy to open on a Saturday morning provide

:09:06. > :09:11.the we get the resources. What when you buy resources? It needs to have

:09:11. > :09:15.to employ staff to cover the practice, there is heating bills,

:09:15. > :09:19.there is talking to the hospital, making sure somebody is at the end

:09:19. > :09:26.of the phone when you have a problem you want to discuss. Is

:09:26. > :09:31.there somebody there? This Saturday is is is a whole packet. I am not

:09:31. > :09:37.sure that in every practice the majority of patients want that.

:09:37. > :09:41.Some practices, if they're commuter tie practices, it may be important.

:09:41. > :09:44.It is much less importance for rural areas. Many thanks.

:09:44. > :09:49.A man in his fifties has been taken to hospital after a gas explosion

:09:49. > :09:52.destroyed his flat. The man, who hasn't been named, was at home in

:09:52. > :09:55.the first floor flat in the Saint Mellons are of Cardiff this

:09:55. > :09:57.lunchtime when the explosion happened. He was treated for burns

:09:57. > :10:02.to his hand. Neighbouring properties were evacuated and an

:10:02. > :10:04.investigation has begun. The Conservatives and Liberal

:10:04. > :10:07.Democrats in the National Assembly have said they're against

:10:07. > :10:13.introducing regional pay in Wales despite their UK parties' plans for

:10:13. > :10:16.it. During a debate in the Assembly, concerns were raised that thousands

:10:16. > :10:18.of public sector workers would be disadvantaged. Last week the

:10:18. > :10:27.Chancellor said some government departments could introduce

:10:27. > :10:31.regional pay deals from April. An elderly woman and her son from

:10:31. > :10:32.Cardiff, who were found dead at the bottom of cliffs, have been named.

:10:32. > :10:37.81-year-old Elizabeth Gosling and 58-year-old Christopher Gosling

:10:37. > :10:40.were discovered at Beachy Head in East Sussex last week. Two days

:10:40. > :10:50.before they died, Mr Gosling had been arrested on suspicion of

:10:50. > :10:54.

:10:54. > :10:57.A taxi driver is being questioned on suspicion of attempted murder

:10:57. > :10:59.following a collision between a cab and eight men in Cardiff. The 28-

:10:59. > :11:02.year-old was arrested yesterday near the city centre. One man

:11:02. > :11:06.remains in hospital with burns following the incident outside the

:11:06. > :11:10.Millennium Stadium. Police are appealing for witnesses. Matt

:11:10. > :11:13.Murray reports. It was a scene which shocked and

:11:14. > :11:17.scared people passing by. It's believed a street row between a

:11:17. > :11:19.group of rail workers and a taxi driver ended with this cab mounting

:11:20. > :11:25.the pavement and ploughing into the men just outside the Millennium

:11:25. > :11:30.Stadium. Many people in the capital on their way home stopped to help

:11:30. > :11:33.before paramedics tended to the injured on roads and pavements.

:11:33. > :11:41.Gaegam Cognard lives near to where it happened. He was the first

:11:41. > :11:45.person to alert the police. I saw and altercation. I saw

:11:45. > :11:51.someone being beaten up in front of the train station. He just walked

:11:51. > :12:00.away from the sea and the next thing I saw his a taxi cab running

:12:00. > :12:03.over them on the street. It was just here where it's

:12:03. > :12:06.believed taxi hit the group. The damage here is clear to see.

:12:06. > :12:11.Everyone I've spoken to has described it as a violent scene and

:12:11. > :12:14.police are appealing for witnesses. Eight people were taken to hospital.

:12:14. > :12:18.Only one 35-year-old man still remains and is being treated for

:12:18. > :12:21.burns. Paul Duffy is visiting Cardiff from Monaghan in Ireland.

:12:22. > :12:30.Last night he was walking past the stadium and described the scenes as

:12:30. > :12:35.chaotic. There are about six police cars, it

:12:35. > :12:39.was bedlam. I thought the bomb had gone off because they were so many

:12:39. > :12:42.people, ambulances and police were here. A taxi driver is still being

:12:42. > :12:45.held on suspicion of attempted murder while police examine CCTV.

:12:45. > :12:49.A report by MPs into the breast implant scandal has questioned the

:12:49. > :12:52.Welsh Government's policy on replacing them. The government here

:12:52. > :12:55.has offered to pay to remove and replace banned PIP breast implants

:12:55. > :13:02.for those treated privately, while in England the NHS will remove but

:13:02. > :13:06.not replace them. Of the 1,000 women affected in Wales, around 300

:13:06. > :13:12.have already been referred for treatment here. Let's talk to our

:13:12. > :13:17.parliamentary correspondent David Cornock.

:13:17. > :13:21.What is the nature of this criticism? This goes back to the

:13:21. > :13:27.decision when the scandal broke by the Welsh Government that it would

:13:27. > :13:33.not only pay to remove the implants but also pay to replace them. At

:13:33. > :13:37.the time the Health Secretary in England said that risk letting

:13:37. > :13:41.private companies of the up. That is an argument that found favour

:13:41. > :13:47.with the MPs who published their report today. The chair of the

:13:47. > :13:53.committee, an all-party committee of English MPs, says that as far as

:13:53. > :13:57.he is concerned the taxpayer should not end up picking up the bill for

:13:58. > :14:03.what is cosmetic surgery. What we're saying is that in England it

:14:03. > :14:07.should be for the women's choice and the woman's risk to have a

:14:07. > :14:12.replacement implants inserted as part of the same operation. It

:14:12. > :14:17.should be very clear, this is a new private sector procedure carried

:14:17. > :14:22.out in an NHS hospital like many private sectors procedures are. The

:14:22. > :14:26.responsibility for that should rest with the woman not with the NHS.

:14:26. > :14:31.How has the Welsh Government responded? The Health Minister has

:14:31. > :14:35.issued a statement today weight she points out health is devolved

:14:35. > :14:39.matter and says her response to the PA p issue has been based entirely

:14:39. > :14:43.on what is best for women in Wales needing help from the health

:14:43. > :14:48.service in Wales. A Welsh Government on theirs can do its own

:14:48. > :14:52.thing. Far fewer people affected in less than in England so the overall

:14:52. > :14:57.cost will not be as great. Much more to come before seven

:14:57. > :15:03.o'clock. This was Colwyn Bay in the good old days. Can the pier's new

:15:03. > :15:05.owner turn back the clock? Face to face with the past. Scientists in

:15:05. > :15:15.Swansea investigate if these are the remains of Welsh archers who

:15:15. > :15:16.

:15:16. > :15:19.The Football Association of Wales has written to every football club

:15:19. > :15:24.in the country with new guidelines following the death last July of

:15:24. > :15:28.12-year-old Casey Breese. Casey died after goalposts fell on him

:15:28. > :15:33.while playing football in Caersws. The FAW hopes it'll help prevent

:15:33. > :15:37.another tragedy. Cemlyn Davies reports.

:15:37. > :15:42.A star who'll never be forgotten. That was one of the tributes paid

:15:42. > :15:45.to Casey Breese after his death. A keen footballer, he was playing on

:15:45. > :15:50.this recreational field next to his village team's home ground when the

:15:50. > :15:58.goalposts fell on him. The 12-year- old was flown to hospital in

:15:58. > :16:03.Shrewsbury where he pronounced dead shortly afterwards. After what

:16:03. > :16:09.happened here the FAW launched an inquiry and even though he was not

:16:09. > :16:13.playing on this pitch, the chief executive of the FAW has sent this

:16:13. > :16:16.report to every club in the country with a series of new goalpost

:16:16. > :16:19.guidelines. They include banning the use of so-called homemade

:16:20. > :16:22.goalposts. These are posts which have been altered in some way. John

:16:22. > :16:26.Ford's letter also says portable goalposts should be properly stored

:16:26. > :16:31.when they aren't being used. All goalposts must be regularly

:16:31. > :16:39.inspected. Phil Woosnam helps run a league in mid Wales. He hopes

:16:39. > :16:42.others will follows the FAW's lead. We need to get the other bodies on

:16:43. > :16:50.board such as the county councils, the town and community councils, to

:16:50. > :16:56.help us. Cades arcades and they will play anywhere. -- cates

:16:56. > :17:01.arcades. That is difficult to stop but hopefully with these ideas that

:17:01. > :17:04.have come out from the FAW that will solve some issues. Casey's mum,

:17:04. > :17:06.Sian, told me she hopes what happened to her son never happens

:17:06. > :17:09.again. The FAW's aim, through its new

:17:09. > :17:12.guidelines, is to help ensure that's the case.

:17:12. > :17:15.Former workers at the Visteon UK car parts factory in Swansea have

:17:15. > :17:20.been demonstrating in Westminster to mark the third anniversary of

:17:20. > :17:22.the company entering administration. The group claim the value of their

:17:22. > :17:28.pensions dropped substantially when previous owner Ford transferred

:17:28. > :17:33.their retirement funds to the care of Visteon UK. Ford say it's an

:17:33. > :17:38.issue for Visteon to settle. A �40 million fund to support small

:17:38. > :17:41.and medium sized businesses has been set up. It's hoped it will

:17:41. > :17:43.create 4,000 jobs, with the money coming from the Welsh Government

:17:43. > :17:46.and the private sector. During a visit to Bridgend pharmaceutical

:17:46. > :17:48.company Biotec, business minister Edwina Hart said it would help

:17:48. > :17:56.businesses which sell directly to consumers, who are barred from

:17:56. > :18:04.accessing other funds. Where we had our last economic

:18:04. > :18:09.growth fund, the competition was intense. We allocated �50 million.

:18:09. > :18:12.We hope very much says people will want to access this fund as well.

:18:12. > :18:15.The future of Colwyn Bay's Victoria Pier looks a little more certain

:18:15. > :18:19.tonight, with Conwy Council taking over as its owner. The pier has

:18:19. > :18:21.been closed for four years and has fallen into disrepair. But it's

:18:22. > :18:26.hoped it will be refurbished as part of major coastal redevelopment

:18:26. > :18:30.in the town. Matthew Richards is there for us.

:18:30. > :18:33.Thanks Jamie. A shadow of its former self, there's been growing

:18:33. > :18:37.concern at the safety of the pier with pieces falling to the beach

:18:37. > :18:43.below. But controversy still surrounds the sale with the former

:18:43. > :18:47.owner claiming it still belongs to him.

:18:47. > :18:50.Built in 1900, Victoria Pier has had a turbulent history. Destroyed

:18:50. > :18:52.by fire in 1922 and badly damaged once again in 1933 it's had a

:18:52. > :18:58.number of private owners, most recently Cambridgeshire businessman,

:18:58. > :19:03.Steve Hunt, who took over in 2003. But he was declared bankrupt after

:19:03. > :19:06.a dispute with Conwy Council and lost control of it in 2008. But

:19:06. > :19:10.while he insists he still owns the pier and is challenging the council

:19:10. > :19:16.in court next month, it says it's now the owner and is working with a

:19:17. > :19:20.campaign group to attract �10 million in investment.

:19:20. > :19:27.People are starting to buy into that. They can see something to

:19:27. > :19:34.happen here so there is a lot of notice. In fairness, even those who

:19:34. > :19:39.say polyp down, they do wish us well. -- pour it down. They are not

:19:39. > :19:42.bought over that we can turn it around. The council says it wants

:19:42. > :19:45.to include the pier as a focal point of the major redevelopment of

:19:45. > :19:52.the town's seafront. That will prove expensive but the local

:19:52. > :19:56.tourist industry thinks its worth If you add a fully functioning

:19:56. > :19:59.paean and excellent opportunities for nightlife as well, you're doing

:19:59. > :20:02.something to put Colwyn Bay back on the map. Down along the promenade

:20:02. > :20:07.the day-trippers and dog walkers all agree that its past its best

:20:07. > :20:14.and needs urgent work. It would be lovely to see it done.

:20:14. > :20:18.Really nice. It isn't finished once they put his right, it will need

:20:18. > :20:23.lot of maintenance. It would be a shame to knock it down. Does the

:20:23. > :20:26.lick of paint! It should be renovated, definitely. It is part

:20:26. > :20:29.of this area. An announcement about Heritage Lottery money is due

:20:29. > :20:34.shortly, which could encourage more investment, that is if all the

:20:34. > :20:40.legal hurdles are overcome. If the development does go ahead, what is

:20:41. > :20:45.being proposed? Once you get past the basic repairs, as a cost enough

:20:45. > :20:50.in itself, they are talking about a modernised approach. They want to

:20:50. > :20:55.reopen the pavilion which was badly damaged in the fire in 1933. That

:20:55. > :21:00.could be used as it confirmed -- concert venues. They want to bring

:21:00. > :21:03.shops and businesses along the boardwalk. They would Open any

:21:03. > :21:07.interpretation centre as well as a renewable energy section because

:21:07. > :21:12.there is a wind farm off the coast. Why has it taken so long to get the

:21:12. > :21:18.plans moving? In short it is because over the last five or six

:21:18. > :21:22.years there has been a lot of black -- at bled between the previous

:21:22. > :21:27.owner and Conwy County Council. He says it isn't fair their pier has

:21:27. > :21:31.been taken out of his hands and sold without his permission.

:21:31. > :21:39.Whoever is involved, most people think there is still life left in

:21:39. > :21:42.the pier. Many thanks. She was the pride of King Henry

:21:42. > :21:45.VIII's fleet, but in 1545 his warship, the Mary Rose, sank with

:21:45. > :21:48.the loss of nearly 400 lives. Now a team of sport scientists at Swansea

:21:48. > :21:52.University are analysing bones recovered from the wreck. They're

:21:52. > :21:57.hoping to learn more about life in the 16th century and to find out if

:21:57. > :22:02.some of the remains belong to Welsh archers. Carwyn Jones has more.

:22:02. > :22:06.Coming face to face with the past. This skull belongs to one of the

:22:06. > :22:10.hundreds of sailors and soldiers who died on board the Mary Rose.

:22:10. > :22:13.But just who was he? That's what Dr Nick Owen has to find out. He's a

:22:13. > :22:15.sports scientist at Swansea University so he's used to

:22:15. > :22:20.analysing the bodies of the living, not the dead, usually elite

:22:20. > :22:23.athletes. But the Mary Rose conservation trust asked for his

:22:23. > :22:30.help and that's because they needed to know if these remains belonged

:22:30. > :22:34.to archers who were on board the vessel when it sank.

:22:34. > :22:39.We had to think a little bit laterally. If these were living

:22:39. > :22:45.people, how would we deal with them? We were able to get living

:22:45. > :22:50.Archers down here and make predictions as to the effect of a

:22:50. > :22:56.lifetime of using longbow would have on their skeleton. What we

:22:56. > :23:01.found was looking at the top bit of this year, this is head that forms

:23:01. > :23:05.the elbow joint. On the right side this is about 50% larger in surface

:23:05. > :23:08.area than the left side. So these bones belong to someone whose arms

:23:08. > :23:11.and upper body experienced years of strain, most likely thorough the

:23:11. > :23:14.use of a heavy longbow. It's been documented that a company of

:23:14. > :23:18.archers were on board the Mary Rose when she capsized in 1545, off the

:23:18. > :23:21.south coast of England. The wreck was eventually salvaged in the

:23:21. > :23:25.1980's and on the sea bed archaeologists found hundreds of

:23:25. > :23:34.human bones. Those bones still contain traces of DNA, which are

:23:34. > :23:39.now being analysed by Nick's team. All of the information about these

:23:39. > :23:44.individuals is contained inside that DNA. These are 500-year-old

:23:44. > :23:47.bones, we can look at hair colour, I colour, perhaps Welshness.

:23:47. > :23:53.Tudor times, Welsh archers were the cream of the English army and were

:23:53. > :24:00.an important part of medieval warfare.

:24:00. > :24:04.You have the pike men, you have Archers providing covering fire. We

:24:04. > :24:07.did have a tradition of providing archers in Wales. It is likely that

:24:07. > :24:11.some of the marchers on the Mary Rose were Welsh. These boats

:24:11. > :24:15.represent just 1% of the total number of remains recovered from

:24:16. > :24:18.the Mary Rose. The techniques developed here at Swansea

:24:18. > :24:23.University of the potential to build a fuller picture of just who

:24:23. > :24:27.was on board that ship when it sank in 1545.

:24:27. > :24:37.Derek's out and about tonight for the forecast. Can we expect another

:24:37. > :24:39.

:24:39. > :24:47.It's a gorgeous evening here. A little bit hazy but wonderful views

:24:47. > :24:51.inland and down to the coast. So the weather today is the same as

:24:51. > :24:56.yesterday and the day before and it's not often you can say that in

:24:56. > :25:02.this country. Mind you, there is a change on the way. By the end of

:25:02. > :25:07.this week it will be cooler and cloudier. Now with a clear sky we

:25:07. > :25:10.have seen a huge rise and fall in temperature this week. A touch of

:25:10. > :25:19.frost in Knighton last night but John Goodger who runs a weather

:25:19. > :25:22.station at Velindre near Glasbury recorded 21C this afternoon. That's

:25:22. > :25:29.11 degrees above average and the highest temperature John has

:25:29. > :25:34.recorded in March for 40 years. It's beginning to cool down again

:25:34. > :25:36.now and tonight will stay dry. The sky clear so turning chilly inland.

:25:36. > :25:42.Temperatures in rural areas falling close to freezing again with

:25:42. > :25:47.another ground frost. If you look to the west you can see the planets

:25:47. > :25:50.Jupiter and Venus near the moon. Venus is really bright at the

:25:50. > :25:55.moment. Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure centred to the west of

:25:55. > :25:59.Ireland and that means cooler north-westerly winds for Britain.

:25:59. > :26:02.So tomorrow another fine day but with one difference. Some high

:26:02. > :26:09.cloud is likely so the sky won't be crystal clear and the sunshine will

:26:09. > :26:14.be hazier. Nevertheless another lovely day. Top temperatures in the

:26:14. > :26:19.south. 18 to 20C. Cooler in the north and west, especially on the

:26:19. > :26:24.coast with a breeze off the sea. In Caerphilly tomorrow, another fine

:26:24. > :26:27.spring day. Lots of sunshine and cirrus clouds. Temperatures in

:26:27. > :26:31.Blackwood rising to 19 Celsius with a light breeze. Friday - more cloud

:26:31. > :26:34.around. The odd spot of drizzle on the north coast but otherwise dry.

:26:34. > :26:39.Some sunshine and cooler, especially on the north and west

:26:39. > :26:42.coast with a breeze off the sea. The weekend cooler and cloudier.

:26:42. > :26:48.The odd spot of rain or drizzle otherwise dry. Temperatures nearer

:26:48. > :26:51.average. Hopefully some sunshine on Sunday. It looks like there's more

:26:51. > :26:54.dry weather to come next week. Further into April, though, there

:26:54. > :26:58.are signs it will turn more unsettled with some rain and

:26:58. > :27:01.showers. So more fine weather and hazy sunshine tomorrow. Cooler and

:27:01. > :27:11.cloudier everywhere by the weekend but I think we'll have to wait a

:27:11. > :27:14.

:27:14. > :27:16.while before we see any useful rain It is coming up to 7 o'clock.

:27:16. > :27:21.Tonight's headlines. The Prime Minister has suggested that

:27:21. > :27:26.motorists should top up on fuel encase the strike by tanker drivers

:27:26. > :27:30.goes ahead. Another minister advise family to keep a jerry can in the

:27:30. > :27:34.garage. In part of wears motorists had been queuing up for petrol.
