Good evening. Tonight's headlines: Separating recycling at the | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
roadside, but soon we may all have to do it ourselves. Single bag | :00:14. | :00:22. | |
collections could be banned. I just find it messy and unhygienic. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
you believe in something and it has obvious benefits, it is something | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
we will have to put up with. The A55 gridlocked for 12 miles | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
after an articulated lorry overturned causing chaos for | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
thousands of people. Could this happen in Snowdonia | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
National Park? Opposition could force the Welsh government to step | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :01:00. | ||
Can Jemma Lowe bring home a medal to Wales? Later this evening she | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
swims in the final. Everyone's rooting for her success, especially | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
:01:12. | :01:18. | ||
in Swansea where she trains. Jemma, Jemma! | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
And good evening. Plenty of excitement here too. It is a sell- | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
out Millennium Stadium tonight as football captain Ryan Giggs leads | :01:23. | :01:33. | |

Team GB. Good evening. Do you have to put | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
your recycling in separate bins before it gets collected, or does | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
your paper, glass and tin all go into one bag? At the moment half | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
the councils in Wales allow us to put all our recycling in one | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
container to be sorted later. But new European rules say we may soon | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
have to sort all our waste into separate bags, before it's | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
collected. Our political correspondent, Tomos Livingstone, | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
reports. The communities of this town are | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
showing the rest of Wales how it is done. Nearly three-quarters of | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
waste is recycled. The community has hit ambitious Welsh government | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
targets, more than one decade ahead of scheduling. Households are | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
giving three boxes to help them sort their recycling and the | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
rubbish is sorted further on the side of the road. All the paper and | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
cardboard is in this one. Cans are trained here. Then we have glass | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
and food. We also take textiles and small electrical items. Some Welsh | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
councils collect these things separately but more than half-assed | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
et put your recycling all-in-one green bag. -- a but more than 50 % | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
of them askew. It is too expensive, says summer and more inconvenient | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
for households as well. The more complicated it becomes the less | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
likely it is that someone is going to participate. Changing those | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
systems is always done with some trepidation. It was rubbish bin day | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
in this town today. The Vale of Glamorgan council has scrap | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
separate collections and all the recycling goes in one can Stainer. | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
-- one container. I think it is a brilliant idea. My wife puts it all | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
in one bag. She recycles everything. If she had to separate everything I | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
do not think she would bother. Wales recycles 48 % of its waste. | :03:40. | :03:49. | |
The target is to increase this to 70 % by 2025. If councils do not | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
keep to the brand new EU rules, they could lose their grants, worth | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
�72 million last year. Councils who have not moved to separate | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
collection will have to do so by 2015. The stakes are high as the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
argument rages over what to do with the things that we throw away. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
There has been traffic chaos across North Wales after a lorry crash led | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
to the complete closure of the A55 for most of the day. Drivers caught | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
up in the crash at Abergwyngregn near Bangor were diverted around 40 | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
miles via Betws-y-Coed to Llandudno Junction. The eastbound carriageway | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
is still closed this evening. The disruption affected thousands of | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
commuters, tourists and even led to the adjournment of a trial as | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
jurors were stuck in traffic. 500 litres of diesel had leaked after | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
the lorry carrying meat overturned on the eastbound carriageway at | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Llanfairfechan this morning. One man was injured. | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
The main carriageway through North Wales brought to a total standstill. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The lorry overturned near Abergwyngregyn just before 8 | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
o'clock and the emergency services closed the A55 in both directions | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
while fire crews and the environment agency mopped up | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
hundreds of gallons of spilled diesel. Every Road has road | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
drainage and doors had quite a lot -- and those often lead to water | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
courses and rivers. Our concern is to make sure that no diesel is | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
going into those drains and rivers. The westbound carriageway was re- | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
opened at 12:30 but the long tailbacks in both directions meant | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
misery for motorists. frustration is the fact that we | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
have managed to pull over here and there is such a lack of information | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
and it is such a tourist area. The majority of people are tourists and | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
there is no information. We took a bit of a data. We have literally | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
been sat here ever since. How have you cope? It has been a trial. Are | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
we there yet, we there yet? Drivers were forced to use | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
alternative routes, adding hours to their journeys. At the moment, the | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
eastbound carriageway is still closed, forcing drivers to take | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
this road, the A5, and then back up the A 70. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Ten hours on, traffic was finally on the move again with many drivers | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
asking why the clean-up took so long. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
To the Olympics now, and as well as the swimming this evening, there is | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
plenty of other Welsh interest tonight. Men's football returns to | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
the Millennium Stadium. Claire Summers is there for us. A sell-out | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:34. | ||
crowd there to see Team GB, Claire? Good evening. As very important few | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
hours for a Team GB and the Welsh Olympians taking part. All eyes on | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the Olympic pool as Jemma Lowe swims in the final of the 200 | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
metres butterfly. But we're under the Olympic spot light at the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
Millennium Stadium, completely sold out for the men's football as Great | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Britain take on Uruguay this evening. A real atmosphere has | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
started to build. If I look over my shoulder, as you cannot see it, but | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
there are no queues at the moment, things are running smoothly. There | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
are some teething problems in Cardiff Bay at the park and ride, | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
but things seem to be running on time and on track in general. Kick- | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
off tonight is at 745. Team GB will be read out -- will be led out by | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
Ryan Giggs. Lots of speculation and discussion about the Welsh players | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
not singing the national anthem. Craig Bellamy has expressed his | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
thoughts and he says he is hoping it will be respected here tonight | :07:41. | :07:51. | |
:07:51. | :07:59. | ||
at the Millennium Stadium. The capital is awash with red white | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
and blue. But Mexico again Switzerland is already under way in | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
the capital. Nations are feeling proud. I have just watched Bradley | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
Wiggins get a gold medal. I think the medals will start to come in. | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
think we're going to win. The anthem has been a talking point | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
during these games. Manager Stuart Pearce has left it up to players to | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
decide whether to sing the words and the Welsh players have opted | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
not to. But they're urging fans to respect God Save The Queen. It | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
follows Welsh supporters booing it during a Wales-England qualifier at | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
the Millennium Stadium last year. National anthems should be | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
respected all round. I dislike it immensely as a player when my own | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
supporters dislike is certain groups. When the booing national | :08:56. | :09:04. | |
anthem, it does leave me very disappointed. -- when they boo. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
Welsh players have made their mark during these Games with Craig | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
Bellamy scoring the first goal for Team GB and Ryan Giggs starting the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
scoring on Sunday in their 3-1 win over the United Arab Emirates. | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Wales' Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey and Neil Taylor are also in the squad | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
for this kick-off in the capital. Uruguay have failed to fire on all | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
cylinders during the Olympics. They secured a win against the United | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Arab Emirates but the pre- tournament favourites lost to | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Senegal on Sunday. Now its fans think their star players will be | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
dangerous after that suprise defeat and will be looking for victory. | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Today, we are going to do a little bit better and hopefully get to the | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
quarterfinals. Tonight Uruguay will win, because we are a great team. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
In the city centre, those without tickets will be watching it on the | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
big screen. They have already seen Team GB's first gold medals of | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
begins today. Fans were buoyed by Team GB's first gold medals of the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
Games. They will be hoping for a victory tonight to make sure that | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
the team are back here on Saturday night in a confident mood for the | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
quarterfinals. Kick-off is at 7:45pm. If you are watching at home, | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
make sure you flick over to BBC One at 8:10pm, because all eyes will be | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
on the Olympic pool and Jemma Lowe going in the final of the 200 | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
metres butterfly. Our reporter is at the Olympic Park knife. | :10:40. | :10:48. | |
Good evening. At 8:10pm tonight, stop whatever you're doing and go | :10:48. | :10:53. | |
to the television screen to see Jemma Lowe perform tonight. She is | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
hoping to become only the third Welsh women to win and medal in the | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
swimming pool. -- woman. The last time that happened was 80 years ago. | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Her family are certain night. You have, all the way from Hartlepool. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
But you have roots in Cardiff as well and Jemma is a proud swimmer | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
for Wales. How have you been coping in the stands? I am pretty cool at | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
the moment bad as the race goes before Jemma's I will start to turn | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
up inside. As the race starts I will probably go wild and be | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
possessed! After years of taking Gem Wright to swimming classes, I | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
guess this makes it all worthwhile? Yes, this is the ultimate end | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
result of every athlete and swimmers. To be here, this week has | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
been amazing. To get to the final has been difficult for the whole of | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
the British team. The competition is the best in the world but she is | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
in there. Let's speak to her boyfriend. You just missed out on a | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
place at the Olympics. You met Jemma training in Swansea. Water | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
her chances tonight? I know she has been putting in the work and | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
everyone knows she is the hardest worker. She said she wanted to be | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
in the outside lane to night and she has got that outside lane. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
Anything is possible. How do you cope with the attention and | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
pressure before the race? Basically you try and keep as calm as | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
possible. There will be 17,000 people in the stadium, but keep Cam, | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
and let the adrenalin go and use the energy. We have our fingers | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
crossed. Thank you very much. Another busy day at the Olympics. | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
:13:01. | :13:08. | ||
Here is a round-up of the action no time at all. As Natasha Perdue | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
took the stage, she was not only representing their country, but | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
also continuing a remarkable family tradition. 40 years after her | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
father competed in his second Olympics, today, his daughter also | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
became an Olympian. But it was soon clear all was not well. She failed | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
with their first left. Her legs seemed to buckle under her as she | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
walked away. But the 37-year-old showed courage and pride to return | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
to the stage and left 92 kg in the snatch. That remained her best lift. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
She was clearly in real pain, but, inspired by the crowd, she refused | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :13:59. | ||
to give up, and wasted 113 kg in the clean and jerk. The spirit was | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
willing, but the body had had enough, and Natasha decided she | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
could not carry on with an injured back. Behind the scenes, there was | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
a wild tree Union. Team-mate Gareth Evans was there to offer support. - | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
- a Welsh reunion. Natasha is moving back to Swansea now, saying | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
goodbye to the Leeds. As she gestured to the heavens, it was | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
clear her late father is always in her thoughts. That was why I came | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
to the Olympics. I'm sure he will be up there smiling to themselves. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Anyway, you know what parents alike. If you come last in the race, did | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
they always say well done, that was brilliant. They were glued to the | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
action here at this club. It will be worth it in the end. Hopefully | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
you will be talking about me next time. Our first gold medal came in | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
the rowing today. Helen Glover on the right study sports science at | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Cardiff Metropolitan University, graduating in 2007. But a pair also | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
coached by Robin Williams who was delighted with their success. | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
incredibly proud of them. The rowing themselves -- itself, with | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
my coaching hat on, was the best I could have asked for. Elsewhere, a | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
footballer has been suspended after an abusive text were sent to | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
British diver Tom Daley bull. Club officials say his firm was used in | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
a misguided prank when you left it unattended. At the Aquatics Centre | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
today, Mark's Olympics lasted only one race. He finished seventh in | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
his heat. But tonight, it is all about Jemma Lowe. She goes in the | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
final of the Women's 200m Butterfly. Everybody hopes she can spring a | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
surprise and get a medal. And I'm at the Wales national pool in | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Swansea. This is where Jemma Lowe put in hours of practice every | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
single day. It is business as usual here this evening, with the | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
youngsters in training, but a huge sense of excitement, because later | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
on they will be tuning in to watch Jemma Lowe in that final. No-one | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:34. | ||
will be keeping a closer eye on her I am very nervous., how will she do | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
this evening? That she does her best time, she is in it with a | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
chance for a medal. Yes, it she does that, she will be right in the | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
middle of it. Now, she did mention you in an interview after the semi- | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
finals. She said you would be pleased with the choice of lane. | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
Yes, the chance was to go less than 100% at that. Most swimmers had a | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
go at 100% to get in. We didn't, we were trying to save energy for | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
tonight. When you do that, you will be in an outside lane. And also, | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
last year at the World Championships, she was in lane four | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
and qualified first. All focus was on her. She swims better when she | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
is by herself and nobody is paying attention. So that was the plan, to | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
be in the outside lane. She has worked so hard. A tremendous amount | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
of work. Six days a week, 11 months of the year. We will be keeping our | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
fingers crossed. Of course, all these a Olympians are raised huge | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
inspiration to the next generation who are here this evening. Have you | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
been watching? Yes. I have enjoyed the swimming and watching all the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Welsh athletes compete in the finals. It is amazing how many | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Welsh swimmers have got through. sparing the one? Yes, hopefully. | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
And who is your idol in the Olympics? Michael Phelps. He is a | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
great Olympian, isn't he? If you work hard it here in Swansea, you | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
see these great Olympians who are now competing. Are you enjoying | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
ourselves? Yes. Well, you carry on with your training. We mentioned | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Michael Phelps there, but the whole emphasis tonight is on Jemma Lowe. | :18:21. | :18:31. | |
:18:31. | :18:37. | ||
Have you got a message for the? Jemma, Jemma, Jemma, Jemma! | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
The Welsh Education Minister has written to his counterpart in | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
England talking about increased communication about changes to | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
exams. In the past few months, England only announcements have | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
taken was -- Wales by surprise. Confusion can cause distress to | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
pupils. In just a few months, it seems like | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
this will be repeated across Wales as people collect exam results. But | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
exactly how they should be assessed in the future is the subject of | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
debate. Education in the UK is devolved, | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
Sir assembly members here have a direct say on the developing system | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
they believe is right for people's. But the Education Secretary in | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
Westminster has made it clear he wants to see fundamental changes to | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
GCSEs and A-levels in England. Although he does not have power | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
year, what he does will impact Wales. In June, details were leaked | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
of proposals to scrap GCSEs and return to an O-level * | :19:38. | :19:44. | |
qualification. This idea has been described as crazy. Michael Gove | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
also taught about potential changes to how exam boards offer | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
qualifications. In a letter to Michael Gove, Leighton Andrews and | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
his counterpart in Northern Ireland said that prior warning is of | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
critical concern to them. They say that being involved at an earlier | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
state would reduce confusion for people living outside of England. | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
think if he had -- if he has views on future qualifications, where | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
those qualifications are also available in Wales and Northern | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
Ireland, then we need to agree on how announcements are going to be | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
made about their future. Department of Education | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
spokesperson told them it is down to the devolved administrations to | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
decide how to run their systems, and down to us to do what is best | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
for English students. Right now, a review panel is asking the public | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
on what the Welsh system should look like. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Firms owed money by a private Carmarthenshire college, which went | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
into administration, are "very unlikely to get a penny", according | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
to liquidators. Around 30 people were at a meeting for those owed | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
money by Llandovery College earlier. The school ran into financial | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
problems, with debts of more than �2 million The new firm, which will | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
run the college, will be operational by Friday. In reality, | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
it is unlikely creditors will receive anything at all, because | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
the assets physically owned by the company are extremely limited. We | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
are hopeful we will be able to facilitate a sale of the limited | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
assets that are available to a new company, so there is a prospect of | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
this call reopening and pupils being taught here. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
A walker from Dorset has died after falling three hundred feet at | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
cliffs in Snowdonia. The 23-year- old slipped and fell at Glyder Fach | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
in the Ogwen Valley yesterday. Rescuers said it appeared the | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
walker, along with another man, had taken the wrong route in thick | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
cloud. Now, should old claims be broken up | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
in Snowdonia? This evening there are fresh doubts. Developers want | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
to use this military site to service and dismantle aeroplanes. | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
National Park planners agree with the idea, but there have been | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
objections, and now the Welsh government says it is thinking of | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
interfering. Taking an old aircraft to bits. It | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
is dramatic stuff, and it is the thought of this happening in | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
Snowdonia which has conservationists are concerned. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
This air base has been largely disused since the RAF left years | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
ago. Today, Snowdonia National Park people were there to talk through | :22:33. | :22:41. | |
plans for the site. The planners said yes, at the Snowdonia society | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
which campaign stirred protect this area, objects. We wish to encourage | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
more jobs and we wish to examine everything. We are not happy with | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
all development, but before making a clear decision about that, we do | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
need to have all facts so we don't feel that we have had them. We were | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
disappointed to hear at the beginning of the meeting that it | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
appears the Snowdonia society has once again put a spanner in the | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
works by calling for the Welsh government to step in. I sincerely | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
hope the government will see this for what it is and dismiss that | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
application. Nobody knows quite how long it will take the Welsh | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
government to decide. In any event, planners have already said they won | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
the dismantling done inside hangers. The National Parks you is that | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
planning decisions are best made when they are made locally, and | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
that part will be made forcibly to the Welsh government. Park members | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
hope this decision will be bounced back to them. A public inquiry may | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
also be considered. More from Clare at the Millennium | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
Stadium for tonight's and pick the ball. -- Olympic football. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
Some breaking news - a Ryan Giggs will not captain the side tonight. | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
Craig Bellamy will wear the captain's armband. It is is the | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
evening ahead, of course, with Jemma Lowe going ahead in their | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
final in the Women's 200m Butterfly. Let me take you quickly through to | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
tomorrow. Very busy on the water for Welsh Olympians at Eton Dorney | :24:26. | :24:36. | |
:24:36. | :24:38. | ||
Way. There is a race at 12:10pm. Geraint Thomas will be involved at | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
the Velodrome for the first time as well, expect plenty of noise there. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
Under cause Sarah Thomas in the hockey making a great start to | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
these Games. They are against Belgium tomorrow. And kick off at | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
7:45pm. It has been raining, but it I have worked my magic for you, | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Clare. Hopefully they showers will miss the stadium and it should stay | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
dry for the rest of the evening. Temperatures about 17 Celsius with | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
a bit of a breeze. The next few days - not the best of summer | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
weather, I'm afraid. Some sunshine, yes, but also heavy showers, | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
thunder, and gusty winds. In Pembrokeshire it will be dry, but | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
elsewhere showers which generally clear. Just the odd shower in the | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
West. Partly cloudy, the wind easing, lowest temperature is | :25:36. | :25:44. | |
between 12 and 15 Celsius. Low pressure near Ireland means | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
unstable and more showers. Tomorrow, we mostly start of drive. There | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
will be some brightness and sunshine, but showers develop and | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
if you catch one of them it could be heavy, with hail and thunder. | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
Having said that, a few places will miss them and stay dry. It could | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
turn quite sunny in Pembrokeshire in the afternoon. Temperature wise, | :26:04. | :26:14. | |
:26:14. | :26:21. | ||
we are looking at up to 20 Celsius. The wind is not as strong as today. | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Tomorrow evening is generally dry and sunny. Fewer showers by then. | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
Overnight, most places are dry. Friday May start dry but more | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
showers are on their way. They could be heavy with thunder, a | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
chance of prolonged rain as well in places. The weekend will be hit and | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
miss. Sunny spells, but heavy showers as well. Some longer spells | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
of rain are possible in places, temperatures around the seasonal | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
average. So the weather will not win any medals over the next few | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
days, but good luck to Team GB this evening, and of course Jemma Lowe. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
Not long to go before kick off. And Team GB are bidding for a place in | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
the final eight against Uruguay. And that breaking news that Craig | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
Bellamy is set to lead the side tonight. And Olympian fans have | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
eyes on the Paul at the Olympic Park as well. Jemma Lowe swims in | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
the final of the Women's 200m Butterfly. That race is due to | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
start at 8:10pm. She is in lane eight and says she will give it | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
absolutely everything. That will be on BBC Two three, the football. If | :27:34. | :27:38. |
