:00:04. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story:
:00:07. > :00:12.Protestors win their argument in Powys tonight - plans for three
:00:12. > :00:22.wind farms are opposed. But it's a public inquiry next. Local
:00:22. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :00:40.councillors don't have the final Also tonight: do river levels are
:00:40. > :00:44.still rising. This pub beer garden is almost
:00:44. > :00:48.under water and there is a warning of more flooding to come.
:00:48. > :00:51.Should you get paid less in Wales than in England for doing the same
:00:51. > :00:54.kind of job? Ten marine conservation zones are
:00:54. > :01:01.planned for our coast, but the Welsh Government's under fire for
:01:02. > :01:04.not visiting any of them. I know I am better looking than all
:01:04. > :01:08.the girls. And patronising and stereotyping
:01:08. > :01:18.the Welsh or just plain honest? The reality TV show all about the
:01:18. > :01:26.
:01:26. > :01:30.Good evening. The Liberal Democrats have called on the UK government to
:01:30. > :01:37.rule out regional pay. Delegates at the conference in Brighton ruled
:01:37. > :01:41.overwhelmingly against the expansion of regional or local pay.
:01:41. > :01:45.A storm in a coalition teacup is brewing. Conservative ministers are
:01:45. > :01:49.looking at replacing national pay deals for staff in schools and
:01:49. > :01:54.hospitals with more local agreements. There Liberal-Democrat
:01:54. > :01:57.coalition partners are not happy. I've brought together a supporter
:01:57. > :02:04.of regional pay and the Liberal Democrat Assembly Member leading
:02:04. > :02:07.the debate. Why is regional pay a good idea? If it is a basic concept
:02:07. > :02:11.of fairness we pay is set nationally, it is not really take
:02:11. > :02:17.into consideration local cost-of- living, if performance of
:02:17. > :02:20.individuals. I completely disagree. When you talk about fairness, you
:02:20. > :02:25.think about people doing the same job in different parts of the
:02:25. > :02:31.country being valued and respected at the same level. There is already
:02:31. > :02:37.an element of flexibility. But what does it mean outside the political
:02:37. > :02:41.trouble? This solicitor is a partner at a small firm in South
:02:41. > :02:46.Wales and she says she is having trouble filling a vacancy because
:02:46. > :02:53.she can't compete with the public sector. With the public sector,
:02:53. > :02:57.they have had packages or a final- salary pension, they also have
:02:57. > :03:01.things like good holidays and they also have a higher starting rate of
:03:02. > :03:06.pay. In the private sector, we can't offer that rate and, as a
:03:06. > :03:12.result, candidates are more attracted to the public sector.
:03:12. > :03:16.unions say regional pay is unfair. It will have a devastating impact
:03:16. > :03:21.on the Welsh economy. It will strip money out of the Welsh economy with
:03:21. > :03:27.people getting paid less. That is going to impact the private sector
:03:27. > :03:35.as much as the public sector. little democrat members agree with
:03:35. > :03:39.him. The conference vote was emphatic. - Liberal Democrat. The
:03:39. > :03:43.vote does allow them to highlight the differences between themselves
:03:43. > :03:47.and their conservative coalition partners at Westminster. We're
:03:47. > :03:50.being told we need them to keep the lights on and supplies of fossil
:03:50. > :03:54.fuels are running out so, tonight, another council in Wales weighs up
:03:54. > :03:58.whether to give the go-ahead to wind farms. But, for now, it looks
:03:58. > :04:01.like the protestors have won. In Powys, three schemes were up for
:04:01. > :04:04.consideration and have tonight been opposed by the council. But that
:04:04. > :04:13.won't be the end of the story. It's a public inquiry next. The final
:04:13. > :04:19.say rests with politicians in London. Cemlyn Davies reports.
:04:19. > :04:23.They gathered once again outside Powys Council's headquarters. More
:04:23. > :04:28.than 150 campaigners came to show the opposition to more wind farms
:04:28. > :04:32.and to which their councillors to do the same. The objections are a
:04:32. > :04:35.visual point of view, on the point of view that wind farms, there is
:04:35. > :04:40.little evidence that they are actually effective in producing
:04:40. > :04:46.electricity. I am hoping that somebody might listen to us.
:04:46. > :04:50.Somebody who has not got a vested interest in making a lot of money.
:04:50. > :04:53.Such was the anticipated interest in today's defence, the Cabinet
:04:53. > :04:59.meeting and debate that followed were both broadcast live on the
:04:59. > :05:04.internet. The councillors had three planning applications to consider.
:05:04. > :05:09.One Faure farm to be built here Meir Llanbrynmair. Councillors have
:05:09. > :05:14.also been discussing an application to build a new wind farm above the
:05:14. > :05:22.village of Llandinam. 100 or so turbines here at the moment
:05:22. > :05:27.generate around 30 megawatts. Develop - developers want to
:05:27. > :05:32.replace these. The third application concerns of the area
:05:32. > :05:37.surrounding Llaithdu. At the moment, Wales has three wind farms with a
:05:37. > :05:42.capacity to generate more than 50 megawatts of energy. Two of them
:05:42. > :05:46.are offshore. There is a need for renewable energy because of climate
:05:46. > :05:51.change and the threat to the supply of our energy markets. As much as
:05:51. > :05:58.we can, we need to increase renewable energy generation. Powys
:05:58. > :06:02.is a prime area for wind in eg - energy. Because the applications
:06:02. > :06:08.are for wind farms which generate more than 50 megawatts, the final
:06:08. > :06:13.decision must be made in London. Does it matter what the council
:06:13. > :06:18.decides today because this is a decision that will be made by
:06:18. > :06:21.politicians in Westminster? It will be made by politicians in
:06:21. > :06:28.Westminster, I accept that, but I think it is important that they
:06:28. > :06:33.know what the people on the ground are think. You had the views of the
:06:33. > :06:38.whole of Powys County Council today. The council must be allowed to have
:06:38. > :06:43.its say and every time it formally opposes one of these applications,
:06:43. > :06:48.it triggers a public inquiry. Each one of those will cost in the
:06:48. > :06:51.region of �150,000. Today that will grow further as the council opposed
:06:51. > :06:54.all three applications. The leader has already asked the Welsh
:06:54. > :06:59.Government for financial support. He has been suggested the final
:06:59. > :07:04.bill could be in the region of �2.5 million.
:07:04. > :07:07.Heavy rain has again caused disruption across Wales today. The
:07:07. > :07:10.worst affected areas have been in the north. As the weather map shows,
:07:10. > :07:13.few places have escaped the wet weather, which looks set to
:07:13. > :07:23.continue into tomorrow. Sian Lloyd is in Rossett near Wrexham this
:07:23. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:29.evening. What is going on tonight? Tonight, a level of the river here
:07:29. > :07:33.is rising. I am in the garden of a pub and half of the beer garden is
:07:33. > :07:38.already under water. Members of the Environment Agency Wales have been
:07:38. > :07:45.here today envoys in the owners and bringing in those temporary Fred
:07:45. > :07:49.defiance measures. We have been out and about and many of the fields
:07:49. > :07:56.have been flooded. A few miles from here, the River Dee has burst its
:07:56. > :08:01.banks. It runs along the border from - between Wales and England.
:08:01. > :08:06.Miles of land is under water and there is a flood water warning in
:08:06. > :08:10.place. There are 11 alerts in place across Wales tonight. There are a
:08:10. > :08:14.series of warnings being given out by North Wales Police for motorists.
:08:14. > :08:18.There is a great deal of service - surface water and they want people
:08:18. > :08:27.to slow down and take care. There is also disruption on the railway
:08:27. > :08:37.lines. It has been a busy day for all of the emergency services. It
:08:37. > :08:39.is still raining here and more rain to come.
:08:40. > :08:42.Farmers are being urged to be vigilant after a virus which
:08:43. > :08:45.affects cattle, sheep and goats has been detected in Wales for the
:08:45. > :08:48.first time. The Welsh Government says Schmallenberg virus antibodies
:08:48. > :08:50.have been discovered in three cows and a calf at a location in
:08:51. > :08:53.Ceredigion. The virus has been circulating in England since last
:08:53. > :09:02.year. It can cause stillbirths and deformities in animals, but isn't
:09:02. > :09:06.thought to pose a risk to humans. 74 people have become ill after
:09:06. > :09:09.visiting the Hilton Hotel in Langstone near Newport. An
:09:09. > :09:12.investigation is being carried out after 51 guests and 23 staff
:09:12. > :09:16.suffered from diarrhoea and vomiting, starting last Tuesday.
:09:16. > :09:19.Public health officials say it's probably the norovirus. They say
:09:19. > :09:23.the outbreak isn't linked to a particular function, but the virus
:09:23. > :09:26.was passed on by someone originally infected.
:09:26. > :09:30.The commissioners appointed to run Anglesey Council are being
:09:30. > :09:33.withdrawn. It follows reports from them and the Auditor General for
:09:33. > :09:36.Wales that the council has made a complete turnaround since March
:09:36. > :09:38.last year. The commissioners took over the council's executive
:09:38. > :09:45.functions after shortcomings in performance and allegations of
:09:45. > :09:47.political infighting. The Welsh Government has been
:09:47. > :09:52.criticised for not visiting fishing communities before publishing plans
:09:53. > :09:55.to set up conservation zones off the coast. An investigation by BBC
:09:56. > :10:01.Wales has found officials didn't make visits to assess how new rules
:10:01. > :10:11.could impact on livelihoods. Ten new marine zones are planned around
:10:11. > :10:12.
:10:12. > :10:16.the coast to protect the environment, but could ban fishing.
:10:16. > :10:18.Between temperature and Anglesey, 10 sites have been identified were
:10:18. > :10:22.highly protected marine conservation zones could be
:10:22. > :10:26.established. He has given the go- ahead, fishing and any harmful
:10:26. > :10:32.activities to the environment could be banned. Many coastal communities
:10:32. > :10:41.claim it will impact businesses badly. We found our by internet,
:10:41. > :10:45.trawling through 300 page documents and then we did have a meeting with
:10:45. > :10:50.the Welsh Assembly Government. But ferry minimum. The areas were
:10:50. > :10:55.identified after research by the Countryside Council for Wales found
:10:55. > :11:00.them rich in marine life but opposition has grown after the
:11:00. > :11:03.consultation started especially after BBC Wales discovered
:11:03. > :11:07.government officials did not visit any of the site before the plans
:11:07. > :11:12.were published on the internet. In the middle of the Bristol Channel,
:11:12. > :11:16.there has been a new take fishing area near Lundy Island for a decade.
:11:16. > :11:21.It has been praised. There were four times as many lobsters after a
:11:21. > :11:27.five-year study and other benefits as well. What we have seen is that
:11:27. > :11:30.tourism is actually benefiting greatly from the No takes zone
:11:30. > :11:39.because a lot of diverse now come to the island whereas they could
:11:39. > :11:44.have gone somewhere else. We have seen in increase in tourism.
:11:44. > :11:48.Tanzania sort then introduced in the 1990s and they use local people
:11:49. > :11:53.to police the scheme. There was a greater understanding among local
:11:53. > :11:59.people in Africa. We are talking about literally villages with a
:11:59. > :12:05.village chief. We are not living in that way in Wales but it means the
:12:05. > :12:09.same thing. If you discuss things you can end up quite quickly with a
:12:09. > :12:19.structure where you can get lots of information. How conservation might
:12:19. > :12:21.work in Wales is still being considered. They could be areas at
:12:21. > :12:27.greatest threat and other areas which are more resilient way you
:12:27. > :12:30.can allow these activities to continue. A decision on how many
:12:30. > :12:32.conservation zones are to be set up and how they will be regulated is
:12:32. > :12:36.expected from the Welsh Government this autumn.
:12:36. > :12:39.And you can see more on that story in Taro Naw on S4C at 9pm with
:12:39. > :12:43.English subtitles. Much more to come before 7pm:
:12:43. > :12:47.It's a reality TV show all about the valleys. It's kicked off a huge
:12:47. > :12:57.row about stereotyping the Welsh. A valleys MP who's criticised the
:12:57. > :12:58.
:12:58. > :13:00.producers and a star of reality TV A mother from Cardiff whose son is
:13:00. > :13:05.one of more than 6,000 prisoners serving an open-ended sentence is
:13:05. > :13:09.calling for a review of all such cases. The government recently
:13:09. > :13:13.scrapped indeterminate sentences. These were originally handed out to
:13:13. > :13:15.violent criminals in order to protect the public. Opponents,
:13:15. > :13:22.including the Plaid Cymru MP Elfyn Llwyd, says they're effectively
:13:22. > :13:27."life sentences through the back door".
:13:27. > :13:31.Eight years ago Shirley Lloyd's sun a mug someone in the street. She
:13:31. > :13:35.says he deserved jail, what he did not deserve to be locked up year
:13:35. > :13:41.after year without a date for release. I don't condone what he
:13:41. > :13:47.did. He did deserve to go to prison, but I don't think a mugging, street
:13:47. > :13:56.robbery, with no harm orangery was caused, physical injury and harm, I
:13:56. > :14:01.don't think it merits a light sentence. Give him 10 years, give
:14:01. > :14:07.him a date of release. But not an indeterminate sentence with no date
:14:07. > :14:13.of release. No light at the end of the tunnel. But you can't get away
:14:13. > :14:18.from the fact he did commit that crime. I was attacked when I was 23
:14:18. > :14:24.years of age. A man tried to rape me. That man went to prison for
:14:24. > :14:29.four months for what he did to me. My son has gone to prison for eight
:14:29. > :14:33.years of his life for doing a mugging, robbery, and if I was to
:14:34. > :14:39.compare the two crimes, I know which one I would put away for
:14:39. > :14:44.eight years. How today more than 6000 prisoners are currently
:14:44. > :14:51.serving in prison at for public protection sentences. Around 3500
:14:51. > :14:55.have served more than the original term set by the judge. Elfyn Llwyd
:14:55. > :14:57.says they are effectively life sentences through the backdoor. The
:14:57. > :15:03.comments justice committee will press the UK government to review
:15:03. > :15:08.these cases. But the Conservative MP, David Davies, says it is the
:15:08. > :15:11.rights of the victim which should be considered first. People have
:15:11. > :15:16.gone into prison with indeterminate sentences and they have gone in for
:15:16. > :15:19.a reason. Usually because they pose a risk to the public. There is a
:15:19. > :15:23.likelihood when they come out they will commit further violent
:15:23. > :15:27.offences against the general population and therefore I am
:15:27. > :15:31.surprised that Elfyn Llwyd is so concerned and is not thinking about
:15:31. > :15:35.the human rights of the rest of us. The government has already
:15:35. > :15:39.announced that the system will be replaced by what it says will be a
:15:39. > :15:43.tougher regime. Shirley Lloyd knows that this year she will be getting
:15:43. > :15:47.a Christmas card from prison again. She has now joined other families
:15:47. > :15:50.around the country to campaign for their cases to be reviewed.
:15:50. > :15:53.Questions are being asked about a decision to spend public money to
:15:53. > :15:56.train Assembly Members how to ask questions. The Assembly Commission,
:15:56. > :16:00.which employs AMs, says it's vital so that members can scrutinise
:16:01. > :16:03.Ministers. But one AM who went on the course says the use of public
:16:03. > :16:12.money can't be justified. Here's our political correspondent, Aled
:16:12. > :16:19.ap Dafydd. It is Tim time again. Another
:16:19. > :16:22.chance to get the basics right. Back after a nine-week recess,
:16:22. > :16:28.Assembly members will be hoping to put training given to them before
:16:28. > :16:34.the summer to good use. A Scottish barrister gave 10 training sessions.
:16:34. > :16:39.The total cost was �10,500. They were trained in how to ask
:16:39. > :16:42.questions, some were given advice on how to sit and what to wear. One
:16:42. > :16:46.former Assembly member says political parties rather than
:16:46. > :16:50.public money should be used to train politicians who are not the
:16:50. > :16:55.finished article. A lot of people have complained over the years that
:16:55. > :17:00.Assembly members do not seem to be added to the job or are not as good
:17:01. > :17:06.as those elsewhere, as in Westminster. It might well be that
:17:06. > :17:09.the commission has decided, we have got to improve our public image.
:17:09. > :17:14.Unfortunately for them, spending public money in this way has not
:17:14. > :17:20.improved the image of the Assembly at all. I took a certain amount
:17:20. > :17:24.away from it that was helpful. I think there is a limit to what a QC
:17:24. > :17:28.can teach Assembly members. We are in a different type of job.
:17:28. > :17:38.asking questions does not always come naturally to everyone. First
:17:38. > :17:42.
:17:42. > :17:47.Minister,... The commission sees training opportunities as a chance
:17:47. > :17:49.for members to improve their skills. D I think it is essential that
:17:49. > :17:57.Assembly members are able to scrutinise the government, are able
:17:57. > :18:00.to develop laws which are fit for the purpose of Wales. I am very
:18:00. > :18:07.pleased they are prepared to come forward because they need that
:18:07. > :18:11.training. For that you for that update. Today's attempt at
:18:11. > :18:16.questioning the first minister got off to a less than perfect start.
:18:16. > :18:20.Are you coming to the question? this is a story partly about the
:18:20. > :18:25.use of public money but also about what type of institution this place
:18:25. > :18:29.should be. An Assembly which caused the government to account will
:18:29. > :18:34.always come with a price tag. Those in charge here say that value for
:18:34. > :18:37.money will come if Assembly members perform their jobs better.
:18:37. > :18:40.A new reality TV show starts tonight, but it's a bit closer to
:18:40. > :18:44.home than some would like. The programme, called The Valleys,
:18:44. > :18:46.features a cast of young people from South Wales who move into a
:18:46. > :18:49.house in Cardiff together. Opponents say it's patronising and
:18:49. > :18:52.stereotypes Welsh people, but the TV channel behind the show has
:18:52. > :19:02.defended its portrayal of the area. Here's our arts and media
:19:02. > :19:02.
:19:02. > :19:07.correspondent, Huw Thomas. This is what I was born for. Posing,
:19:07. > :19:11.my hair blowing in the wind, looking stunning. Half they are
:19:11. > :19:17.nine JUN people brought from towns and villages across South Wales to
:19:17. > :19:21.share a terraced house in Cardiff. The Valleys is warts-and-all and
:19:21. > :19:25.while the cameras are always watching, they cast a given task
:19:25. > :19:29.designed to help them become models and celebrities. I am going to give
:19:29. > :19:33.you some posters and I want you to get talking to people. It all
:19:33. > :19:35.happens under the guidance of two mentors will steer them towards
:19:35. > :19:39.success but they have been accusations that Welsh people will
:19:39. > :19:44.come off badly because of the show and it is wrong to suggest you need
:19:44. > :19:47.to escape the valleys to get ahead in life. With a rocking horse,
:19:47. > :19:54.leeks and sheep on the walls in the House, campaigners say it is all
:19:54. > :19:58.based on lazy stereotypes. Their accusation MTV rejects. There is
:19:58. > :20:02.always some accusations but the show is absolutely celebrating
:20:02. > :20:06.these nine JUN people and their mentors. It is very much about
:20:06. > :20:09.their individual stories. The thing they have in common is their common
:20:09. > :20:15.sense of pride and their sense of identity but the show is about
:20:15. > :20:18.their individual journeys. He is not about stereotyping. Her MTV has
:20:18. > :20:21.launched a big advertising campaign to get the programme noticed but
:20:21. > :20:27.the marketing started a debate about the impression the show was
:20:27. > :20:30.going to make. Charlotte Church will not be watching. She told her
:20:30. > :20:33.twitter followers that it will exploit the cast and the horrific
:20:33. > :20:38.representation of Wales. But there has been support from Gareth Thomas,
:20:38. > :20:43.who says he will be sitting down to watch. MTV insists it is right to
:20:43. > :20:46.highlight problems in the valleys. He says unemployment and the lack
:20:46. > :20:50.of opportunities are real issues in these parts of South Wales but
:20:50. > :20:54.campaigners say it is wrong to focus on the negatives. They want
:20:54. > :20:59.MTV to make a pledge to help young people who are growing up in the
:20:59. > :21:03.area. If they have done a great deal of harm to start off. I feel
:21:03. > :21:06.very annoyed about it already. I think it is about time they showed
:21:06. > :21:12.the pace and respect and the best way to do that is to donate five
:21:12. > :21:20.per cent of the profits of the show to a valleys charity. That is a
:21:20. > :21:24.drop in the ocean. But he would make a difference. The call for a
:21:24. > :21:29.donation has so far gone unanswered by MTV and it is the ratings that
:21:29. > :21:35.will decide if the show is a success. I am supposed restyling
:21:35. > :21:39.the girls today but I have still got the goggles. Critics who have
:21:39. > :21:42.seen the first episode say it is jaw-dropping the funny, outrageous
:21:42. > :21:45.and crass. Viewers can make their own minds up tonight.
:21:45. > :21:50.I'm joined by the MP for the Rhondda, Chris Bryant, and Glyn
:21:50. > :21:54.Wise, who appeared on reality show Big Brother. You have not seen the
:21:54. > :21:58.show yet. No, but I have watched the clips and I have read the
:21:58. > :22:02.publicity. I used to watch big brother, I don't mind a bit of fun
:22:02. > :22:07.on television, I don't even mind a bit of nudity on television, but
:22:07. > :22:13.what I do mind is when it is so lazy. They have got lots of sheep
:22:13. > :22:19.because it is in Wales. They have not got a rocking horse, they have
:22:19. > :22:23.got a rocking sheep. It is a bit of fun, isn't it? It is patronising.
:22:23. > :22:26.First of all, it implies the only way you can get on a life is by
:22:26. > :22:31.getting out of the valleys and going to Cardiff and that somehow
:22:31. > :22:35.the streets are paved with gold in Cardiff. Completely and utterly
:22:35. > :22:39.untrue. Secondly, the oppression that you are more likely to get on
:22:39. > :22:43.in life if you can become a celebrity. You are more likely to
:22:43. > :22:50.win the lottery. Even if you have been a big brother, you still end
:22:50. > :22:55.up having to be a teacher. You did the whole reality TV show thing. It
:22:55. > :23:02.did not do you any harm. publicity is good publicity. When
:23:02. > :23:10.it comes to Wales, great. This is not something new. This has been
:23:10. > :23:14.done over and over. It has been done in Essex and Newcastle.
:23:14. > :23:19.Hopefully, the whole publicity will come to Wales. In my eyes,
:23:19. > :23:26.hopefully we will get more out of it. What about the negative
:23:26. > :23:36.impression of Wales? This is what people are concerned about.
:23:36. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:42.really. To be honest, the publicity is going to grow and that is what
:23:42. > :23:47.people want to watch. To be honest, I did well from it. We managed to
:23:47. > :23:54.get the Welsh-language on the front page of newspapers. It was all over
:23:54. > :23:58.the news. That is a good thing. were only two contestants out of 14
:23:58. > :24:03.people. The this is not about trying to get a good result for
:24:03. > :24:06.Wales. If that was the case, MTV would be donating five per cent of
:24:06. > :24:11.its profits from the programme to valleys kids so it would make a
:24:11. > :24:15.difference. Yes, there are problems in the valleys. There are not
:24:15. > :24:19.enough jobs, the real difficulty for young people, unemployment in
:24:19. > :24:22.my patch has gone up by 700 and said a five per cent in the last
:24:22. > :24:27.year, but this is about rich people in London making money out of
:24:27. > :24:30.people in Wales. Thank you very much.
:24:30. > :24:33.Sport, and Wales will launch its own track cycling team next week
:24:33. > :24:36.with new junior world champion Elinor Barker one of the first
:24:36. > :24:39.riders on its books. The Sport Wales Institute Welsh Cycling trade
:24:39. > :24:43.team will compete in World Cup events, racing against the likes of
:24:43. > :24:53.Sir Chris Hoy in the all-conquering Great Britain squad. Wales is the
:24:53. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:10.first of the home nations to have its own track team. Let's get the
:25:10. > :25:12.Richard Hopkins in Llandudno has recorded over 100mm of rain since
:25:13. > :25:17.Sunday evening. That's over four inches and well over a month's
:25:17. > :25:20.worth of rain. There is still one flood warning in force in the Lower
:25:20. > :25:25.Dee Valley from Llangollen to Chester. Plus eleven other flood
:25:25. > :25:28.alerts on rivers in Mid Wales and the north. There is also a Met
:25:28. > :25:33.Office amber warning covering the north and most of Mid Wales. Valid
:25:33. > :25:38.until midnight. Another 10mm to 30mm of rain expected. So a wet
:25:38. > :25:43.evening and night for much of the country. Some persistent rain and
:25:43. > :25:47.poor travelling conditions. The reason for all the heavy rain is
:25:47. > :25:51.low pressure. It came up from the south earlier in the week and,
:25:51. > :25:57.having moved north, it's now moving south again. So, tomorrow, more
:25:57. > :26:02.cloud, rain and showers. Heavy in places. Strong winds on Anglesey.
:26:02. > :26:08.The north-east wind whistling through the Menai Strait. The good
:26:08. > :26:12.news, there will be a few gaps in the rain. The sun may break through
:26:12. > :26:15.in Carmarthen. During the day the rain will turn more showery. Heavy
:26:15. > :26:20.showers in places with thunder, but some dry spells developing with a
:26:20. > :26:22.few bright or sunny intervals. So, overall, not as wet as today.
:26:22. > :26:26.Temperatures a little higher, between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius
:26:26. > :26:30.with a cool north-easterly breeze. Brisk and gusty on exposed coasts
:26:30. > :26:33.in the north and west. Tomorrow evening, the showers will ease with
:26:33. > :26:39.more of the country becoming dry. The wind easing as well. Thursday a
:26:39. > :26:44.better day. You may catch a shower but generally drier. Some sunshine
:26:44. > :26:48.and lighter winds. Beyond that, a front will bring a little rain and
:26:48. > :26:51.showers on Friday. Saturday will be dry apart from the odd light shower.
:26:51. > :27:01.Some bright spells and sunshine. Sunday windier with rain spreading
