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.
:01:33.:01:34.

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.

National Park planners agree with the idea, but there have been

objections, and now the Welsh government says it is thinking of

:22:08.:22:14.

interfering. Taking an old aircraft to bits. It

is dramatic stuff, and it is the thought of this happening in

This air base has been largely disused since the RAF left years

plans for the site. The planners said yes, at the Snowdonia society

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

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

hope this decision will be bounced back to them. A public inquiry may

also be considered. More from Clare at the Millennium

Some breaking news - a Ryan Giggs will not captain the side tonight.

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

tomorrow. Very busy on the water for Welsh Olympians at Eton Dorney

Way. There is a race at 12:10pm. Geraint Thomas will be involved at

the Velodrome for the first time as well, expect plenty of noise there.

Under cause Sarah Thomas in the hockey making a great start to

these Games. They are against Belgium tomorrow. And kick off at

7:45pm. It has been raining, but it I have worked my magic for you,

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

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

Bellamy is set to lead the side tonight. And Olympian fans have

eyes on the Paul at the Olympic Park as well. Jemma Lowe swims in
