find Ben Thompson, missing since Saturday's six nations match in | :00:05. | :00:15. | |
:00:15. | :00:16. | ||
Cardiff. Tonight his wife made a desperate appeal. I would ask | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
anyone who saw him after 7pm on Saturday to please contact the | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
police are urgently. Please help me find my husband. Find you. -- thank | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
Our other headlines tonight: The over-50s were promised an annual | :00:40. | :00:50. | |
:00:50. | :00:51. | ||
health check, now Labour is accused of a U-turn. They promised us this, | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
the promise as that and then everything comes to nothing. Sylvia | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
and Alison looking back on their big day. Tonight every Welsh | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
conservative MP looks set to vote against gay marriage. Could Gareth | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Bale be the answer to Wales' striker problem for the friendly | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
against Austria? And the snow's back, at least for some of us, with | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
a warning of more wintry weather on the way. Good evening. The wife of | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
the missing rugby fan Ben Thompson has made an emotional appeal for | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
help to find her husband. Around 20 people, family and friends have now | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
come from Haverfordwest to Cardiff to join the search for the 34-year- | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
old who disappeared following Saturday's Six Nations match in the | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
city. Caroline Evans reports. Desperate for news today, Jo | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Thompson, together with her Brother and Ben's Mother and his twin | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:55. | ||
brother, made a public appeal for help to find him. Ben is kind and | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
loving, he is an exceptional friend which is why we have everyone here | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
today looking for him. I would ask everyone who saw him after 7pm on | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Saturday to please contact the police. Please help me find my | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
husband. 34-year-old Ben Thomspson had won tickets to Saturdays match. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
He'd travelled up with friends and gone drinking beforehand. After the | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
game ended, he called his wife from the packed city centre, to tell her | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
that he was heading to their favourite Cardiff pub. The won | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
tickets to go in the box for the Rugby, he was very excited about it, | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
he was a big a Rugby fan. At some point in the evening he left acute | :02:44. | :02:54. | |
for the bar and made his way foot deep CCTV camera footage showing | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
him on a particular road. He was last seen by his friends after the | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
match, at around 6:30pm in Mill Lane. The area is well known for | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
its bar and restaurants and would have been packed at the time. From | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
there he's thought to have walked to Canton. At 17 minutes past seven, | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
police now know he was at Lawrenny Avenue near Cardiff City's football | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
ground. Today they issued this CCTV which shows him crossing Leckwith | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
Road into Lawrenny Avenue. Anyone who recognises the hem, he was not | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
wearing a red shirt that night but something that was light coloured. | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
I today ask anyone who was picking their kids upon anything like that | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
if they saw him that night to get in touch. His family say he knows | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
his way through Cardiff by car but fear, on foot, he lost his way. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
think he was heading back to the hotel which was at the airport. | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
plan was for him to stay there? he was, he was staying with a | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
friend. Or try the plans now? to carry on searching, knocking on | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
doors and trying to help the police in any way. That is what they did. | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
They hope to turn up any information that might help. Police | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
currently have 50 officers currently working on the case. For | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
his family and friends every hour brings growing concern for his | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:45. | ||
welfare. If you're over 50, the Government promised that you would | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
be entitled to an annual GP check - an MOT if you like. But today the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
First Minister has been accused of going back on that election promise. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Instead, there'll be an online system which will identify people | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
who need to see their doctor. Here's Our Welsh Affairs Editor | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
Vaughan Roderick. Most of us feel pretty good when we hit 15 nowadays. | :05:04. | :05:13. | |
Like these pensioners we expect be extended life. We are in no doubt | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
however about the importance of check-ups. Sometimes you are not | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
aware of what is wrong with you, Diabetes comes on, things like that. | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
I do think it is very important to have an annual check. The older you | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
get, things happen. The sooner things are treated, the better. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Labour pledged at the last election to set up a scheme for all over 50s, | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
but the plans have been changed. It will now be what is described as a | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
modern gateway on the internet. It is a massive climbdown according to | :05:57. | :06:05. | |
the Conservatives. Plaid Cymru branded it a U-turn. Health checks | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
led by GPs and nurses for the over- fifties are a firm commitment from | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
the Welsh Government. What will this new website offer that is not | :06:18. | :06:28. | |
:06:28. | :06:28. | ||
already offered by NHS 24? It will allow GPs and other care | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
commissioners to identify and contact those most at need for her | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
:06:44. | :06:45. | ||
care and advice. So is the new plan for a U-turn? Or is it a another | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
way of delivering the election promise? Money has been set aside | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
to pay for the system which the Government says will provide | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
personally tailored services. Patients will be offered access to | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
prevention services and for those who do not have alternative online | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
access there will be something else for them. I am disappointed because | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
the promise as this, the promise as that and everything counts for | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
nothing. We have been promised one thing and now we are getting | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
something different. It is being dressed up as the same thing and I | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
do not think that is right. There will be relief among doctors who | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
were worried about their surgeries being clogged up by people who did | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
not really need to be there at all. Vaughan, U-turn, or is the | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
Government sticking to their promise? If you read the Labour | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
manifesto you would say that everybody would be offered an | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
appointment to see their GP, a practice nurse maybe or a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
pharmacist. This is something very different. The Government says it | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
is promising this opportunity but it really does not sound like it. | :08:11. | :08:21. | |
Why the change? Other parties are calling it a U-turn on a climbdown | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
but they think that maybe it was not a good idea in the first place. | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
Some people might be concerned about their health but do not | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
really need to be. It is those who are more difficult to reach, the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Government system would not necessarily reach them. Is this | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
politically damaging for Labour? The family of a girl who was killed | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
after a wall collapsed on her near Prestatyn have had their campaign | :08:44. | :08:54. | |
:08:54. | :08:54. | ||
for the licensing of builders highlighted in the House of Commons. | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
I think so. All this chipping away at the realignment of services and | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
now aback track, that must be causing some damage to the Labour | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
Party. We have heard lots tonight about what the politicians have had | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
to say, what has the medical profession had to say? The medical | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
profession were greatly concerned about the prospect of surgeries | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
being full of people who had these appointments and did not really | :09:23. | :09:33. | |
:09:33. | :09:35. | ||
need them? Emergency services are tonight tackling a house fire in | :09:35. | :09:44. | |
Bridgend. It is at two-storey mid- terrace house. These photos were | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
taken by an neighbour just a few minutes ago. Police were also at | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
the scene. The family of a girl who was killed after a wall collapsed | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
on her have had their campaign to have builders licensed highlighted | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
in the House of Commons. Meg Burgess was 3 when she died | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
following the incident in Meliden five years ago. The man responsible | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
for building the wall was jailed for two years. Today, her parents' | :10:08. | :10:17. | |
:10:18. | :10:18. | ||
local MP spoke in the commons. this case, despite the builder's 30 | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
years' experience he decided to cut corners. If the builder had | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
followed guidelines then the little girl would still be alive today. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Health Managers in North Wales have denied claims they are rushing | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
through controversial changes to health services. Betsi Cadwaladr | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Health Board last month approved plans that would see some community | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
hospitals close and big changes to specialist intensive care for | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
babies. They've confirmed some will close within two weeks. Today, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Denbighshire council postponed a vote of no confidence in the health | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
board, to hold further discussions with managers. Parents of children | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
at Cwmcarn High School say they're frustrated and confused after being | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
told it will be at least another three weeks before a decision will | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
be reached on whether to re-open the school. It's been closed since | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
a report raised concerns about asbestos level in October, but | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
yesterday a health and safety executive survey said levels were | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:27. | ||
normal. Paul Heaney reports. It has been closed since October because | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
of concerns about high levels of asbestos. The Health and Safety | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
Executive said the amount in the ear at this high school was within | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
acceptable levels. Many have been travelling by bus to another school | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
:11:55. | :11:55. | ||
which could cost the education of Faherty a million pounds by the end | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
of the year. -- a quarter of a million pounds by the end of the | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
year. We would not have missed so much education time for our | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
children. It is just really frustrating for the pagans, the | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
students and the teachers as well. Back in November special health | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
clinics were set up to advise parents about the desk. The Health | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
and Safety Executive says it was the right decision to close the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
school at the time but the situation has led to a bigger | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
debate. The issue of asbestos in buildings has been discussed across | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
the country. There are calls for a national database of where the | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
material is used. Children being bussed 12 miles up the valley when | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
there was asbestos in that school, brown asbestos which is very | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
dangerous. If people had the right to know access to that information | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
beforehand people would know what the situation was in their own | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
school. The decision on whether to reopen the school will be made in | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
the next month after a further report into asbestos levels. | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
:13:27. | :13:27. | ||
Much more to come before seven o'clock. Could Gareth Bale be the | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
answer to Wales' striker problem for the friendly against Austria | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
tomorrow? And the snow's back at least for | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
some of us with a warning of more wintry weather on the way. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
MPs are voting tonight on whether to allow gay people to marry in | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
Wales and England. All eight Welsh Conservative MPs are expected to | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
vote against same-sex weddings. Live to Westminster and our | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Within the next 20 minutes MPs are expected to start of that vote on | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
whether to legalise gay marriage. It is expected to go through but | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
there is a lot of opposition from Conservatives in Wales. Sylvia | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
Jones and Alison Proctor have been together for 22 years. The couple | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
are already in a civil partnership and they would welcome the chance | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
that gay couples to be able to choose to marry. We have always | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
said that people were so supportive of civil partnerships and will be | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
of marriage because everybody loves a good party. It is about | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
celebrating people's love for each other and people's commitment to | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
each other. That is what is important. For those people who are | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
against it, they have a right to voice their opinions, but they are | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
in the minority. The Welsh Secretary arriving at today's | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Cabinet meeting believe marriage means a union between a man and a | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
woman. He and the other seven Welsh Tory MPs are expected to vote | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
against the bill tonight. I feel redefining the meaning of marriage | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
will inflict damage on the institution of marriage. It is a | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
difficult issue. I know a lot of people disagree with me but that is | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
my distinct -- instinctive opinion. It has split the Conservative Party | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
from the Cabinet to grassroots activists. This man is the former | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
chairman of the Monmouth Conservative Association. I have | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
had a couple of resignations as my time. I have had resignations as | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
chairman of the local branch here in Chepstow. I have not had any | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
body come to me suggesting that this is a desirable position to | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
take. The Church in Wales opposes same-sex marriage and its clergy | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
won't be able to carry out gay weddings are less his governing | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
body later decides to opt in under the new law. One pro gay marriage | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
MP hopes it will do so. It is a regret to me my Church does not | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
allow same-sex marriage. They will not be forced to do so under the | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
proposed legislation and they could not be a more respectful compromise. | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
The Church is happy with the compromise that the members of his | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
complaint -- congregation would be able to name the day for some time | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
yet. It has the overwhelming support of | :16:22. | :16:31. | |
almost all the Labour MPs in Wales. It is not the only problem facing | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
David Jones, the Welsh Secretary, because the Daily Telegraph has | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
photographed him being chauffeur- driven in a Jaguar V 100 metres | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
between his office in Whitehall and that Cabinet meeting in Downing | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Street that we saw him in my report. He says he had to be driven there | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
because he had papers he was working on right up to the Cabinet | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
meeting. Labour say he is wasting public money and they have a new | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:14. | ||
nickname for him, does the Jaguar. -- Jones the Jaguar. | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
A meeting of Welsh language musicians is underway in Cardiff | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
this evening. They're members of the group Eos in dispute with the | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
BBC over how much they get paid when their songs are played on | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Over 300 composers and publishers. Our arts and media correspondent | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Huw Thomas is at Chapter Arts Centre where the meeting is taking | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
place It has no plans to close the city's | :17:31. | :17:41. | |
:17:41. | :17:42. | ||
riding school despite recent 300 composers have signed their | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
broadcast rights to this new company, Eos. Some of them have | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
been arriving here for a meeting which has just gone under way. Eos | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
is trying to negotiate a higher rate every time their members music | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
is played on Radio Cymru. When Radio Cymru lost their right to | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
play the music, they lost the right to about 30,000 songs and has been | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
broadcasting with a reduced service since January. This is a | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
development that has come to pass in the last hour, the BBC has begun | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
the process of taking Eos to a Copyright Tribunal in an attempt to | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
resolve this issue and find a fair price for this music. I spoke to a | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
member of the Eos board before he went into this meeting and he was | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
clear he was unhappy with this development and this is what he had | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
to say. We have taken legal advice on that today so we will be | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
considering our position. What is disappointing is why as we thought | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
we were negotiating with the BBC on their term, we were preparing | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
ground for this. The BBC has sent it to approve her to come to an | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
agreement without going to a Copyright Tribunal and it still | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
hopes to do that. It does say it remains the focus to avoid the | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
tribunal process but it would allow a fair decision on a transparent | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
process. What is going on in that meeting behind do? Away any closer | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
to irresolution? The hot topic is this new Copyright Tribunal threat | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
which has emerged tonight. The are the nitty-gritty of this, what is | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
considered to be a fair price? What is the price Eos members would | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
accept? By all accounts irresolution still appears to be a | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
long way off especially if a rather long drawn-out and complicated | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
tribunal process is about to get under way. Cardiff council says it | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
has no plans to close the city's riding school despite recent press | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
reports and concerns. The authority says Cardiff Riding School will | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
remain open until a third party has been found to run it. It also says | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
it has no plans to sell of land associated with the school. | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
How to keep our children safe online. That's the aim of a new | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
project launched by Wales' Children's Commissioner. It'll | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
study how children use the internet and digital media. | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
The principles are the same as they are in trying to protect children | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
in any setting. The most important thing if you are operating a good | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
learning environment, is is it safe. This is a place where children feel | :20:23. | :20:27. | |

-- safely. Wales football manager Chris | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
Coleman says he's considering playing star man Gareth Bale out of | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
position as a striker during tomorrow's friendly against Austria. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Bale trained with the squad today alongside Craig Bellamy who's set | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
to play his first game for Wales for six months. Coleman says it's | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
his strongest squad since taking charge a year ago. Here's our | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter. With a freezing wind whistling in | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
off the sea, Wales players were bracing themselves for a chilly | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
afternoon on the training pitch as they boarded the team coach at | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
their base in Cardiff Bay. The sight of the Premier League's | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
otters property, Gareth Bale, climbing aboard will warm the | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
hearts of fans. His form for Tottenham has been nothing short of | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
spectacular. Such is his talent, they are considering switching him | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
to the position of striker. An idea that Chris Coleman is looking at. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Bail will start in his usual position tomorrow but could be | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
switched during the game. When he is in the mood he is unstoppable. | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
He is very strong and so quick and good with the ball. You see him in | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
the Premier League. Chris Coleman seemed surprised to have his best | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
players available, a spate of withdrawals is often the norm for | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
friendlies. The icing on the cake is definitely the return of Craig | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Bellamy after the six-month absence. He told reporters yesterday he | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
wants to retire early from international football because it | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
is like a drug. I have never seen him as relaxed as he is now. He is | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
in a good place at the moment. He has been through a lot in the last | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
12 months. He has found his love for football again. You can see | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
that when he plays for Cardiff. He is coming in smiling, looking | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
forward to playing. Wears his last game at home against often inspired | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
one the greatest goals in recent memory. Wears his first win in if - | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
- World Cup qualifying campaign. Two qualifiers follow next month. | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Rugby - Wales fullback Leigh Halfpenny says the players have to | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
take responsibility for their performance on the pitch, not the | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
coaching staff. Coach Rob Howley has come into heavy criticism | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
following their eighth consecutive loss against Ireland on Saturday. | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
But Halfpenny says it's the players who need to step up to the mark. | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
prepared well throughout the week. We gave everything -- we were given | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
every bit of information we needed so we were fully prepared. So, it | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
is down to the guys on the pitch. Coe's cars are carried out an | :23:27. | :23:37. | |

followed the discovery of a mortar like Shell near Chepstow at the | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
weekend. Snow has made a return to parts of | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Wales today. This was Bala earlier this morning, where several inches | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
fell on higher ground. Despite temperatures dipping to minus two | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
degrees, it made for some picture postcard scenes. | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
And there's more wintry weather in There is more snow on the way but | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
not a lot and some places will have none. Mother Nature is throwing | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
just about everything at us at the moment. Hail, thunder, rain, snow | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
and gales. For tonight, windy with showers. Some heavy showers too | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
mostly of rain or hail.. Eastern parts and the southeast drier and | :24:30. | :24:33. | |

Gusts of 65 to 70mph. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure over | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
Europe. Lots of isobars over the UK and that means strong winds. Those | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
winds will come all the way from the Arctic. So tomorrow morning | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
:25:07. | :25:08. | ||
cold and windy. Some dry weather but there will be showers around. | :25:08. | :25:17. | |
Heavy in places with hail. Some snow too. Most of it on higher | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
ground, the hills and mountains. During the day, the weather will | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
cheer-up. Becoming dry, bright and sunny. However, showers in the | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
Irish Sea will affect the west coast and especially Pembrokeshire. | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
Hail likely with snow on the Preselis. Top temperatures around | :25:31. | :25:36. | |

Otherwise much of the country dry and clear. The wind easing with a | :25:43. | :25:46. | |

cold. Thursday one or two showers otherwise dry. Lighter winds. | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
