:00:03. > :00:11.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Slowing down motorists
:00:11. > :00:21.to save lives. A call for more 20 mile-per-hour zones. I think it is
:00:21. > :00:38.
:00:38. > :00:41.a good idea. Children safety is a Also tonight: The Welsh language
:00:41. > :00:43.festival that's attracted some of our biggest rugby stars. The Welsh
:00:43. > :00:50.Government is criticised for giving �20,000 to help a Labour-run
:00:50. > :00:53.council secure it. Would the same kind of response to be given to a
:00:53. > :00:57.Conservative or Liberal Democrat council? Not many of us think that
:00:57. > :01:01.would be the case. In the driving seat - David
:01:01. > :01:07.Phillips is one of a growing number of people here who are now working
:01:07. > :01:11.for themselves. 40 metres under the ground in east London, the sight of
:01:11. > :01:18.Europe's biggest construction project and I have come to meet the
:01:19. > :01:22.man in charge, before much apprentice from Cwmbran. -- A
:01:22. > :01:25.former apprentice. And Wales have been hit by a late
:01:25. > :01:29.injury for tonight's game with Austria. Aaron Ramsey has been
:01:29. > :01:32.ruled out. Good evening. More 20 mile-per-hour
:01:32. > :01:35.zones could save lives on our roads. That's the message from a group of
:01:35. > :01:37.Assembly Members tonight. They say lowering the speed limit will
:01:37. > :01:39.protect pedestrians, particularly children, in towns and villages.
:01:40. > :01:44.The latest figures show that 82 children were killed or seriously
:01:44. > :01:54.injured on Welsh roads in 2011. That's 15% more than the year
:01:54. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :01:58.before. Brian Meechan reports. This area of Port Talbot already
:01:58. > :02:02.has a 20 mile an hour speed restriction across the whole estate.
:02:02. > :02:09.There has been a reduction of almost 50% of road traffic
:02:09. > :02:15.accidents in the last three years. As the head teacher of this school
:02:15. > :02:20.says, it can save lives. Pupils, we try to educate them about road
:02:20. > :02:25.safety, but without thinking they do sometimes run out behind a car.
:02:25. > :02:30.If you were doing a significant speed, you will not stop in time.
:02:30. > :02:35.The statistics say a difference between the accident at 30 miles an
:02:35. > :02:44.hour and 20 miles an hour can be significant. Parents also support
:02:44. > :02:53.it. They come out and ran across the road. I think it is a good idea.
:02:53. > :02:58.Children's safety is a priority. I agree. A child has a 90% chance of
:02:58. > :03:03.surviving being hit by a car at 20 miles an hour but only 40% at 30
:03:03. > :03:09.miles an hour. This is a 20 mile and our CERN we are driving in.
:03:09. > :03:16.That is why the Assembly Member wants to see more sense restricting
:03:16. > :03:21.speeds to 20 miles an hour especially outside of schools.
:03:21. > :03:26.Wrexham have a clear programme in place. All of the areas outside of
:03:26. > :03:33.their schools will be 20 MAR an hour Sones. Contrast that for
:03:33. > :03:40.example with Caribbean -- 20 miles an hour areas. -- contrast that
:03:40. > :03:45.with other areas... Some areas have gone further. There are warnings
:03:45. > :03:49.that we should not take the speed limits too far. It may take too
:03:49. > :03:55.many resources to police it. Speed cameras and the police at the
:03:55. > :04:02.moment are struggling to enforce the 30 Mar Lour areas so trying to
:04:02. > :04:05.when forced a new 20 miles an hour area might prove difficult.
:04:05. > :04:10.Association of Chief Police officers is also against
:04:10. > :04:15.introducing a blanket 20 miles an hour limit because it would be
:04:15. > :04:23.difficult to enforce. Politicians and parents will continue to ask
:04:23. > :04:25.for a change if it could save children's lives.
:04:25. > :04:28.Swansea Council has been accused of acting unlawfully by the Wales
:04:28. > :04:31.Audit Office after it transferred �20 million from a pension fund to
:04:31. > :04:34.a bank account. The authority moved the money when it changed bank
:04:34. > :04:36.accounts last March. It was done without the knowledge of the
:04:36. > :04:41.pension trustees or the council's chief financial officer. The
:04:41. > :04:45.council says it wasn't illegal and it acted in good faith.
:04:45. > :04:47.Up to 80 jobs are under threat at a car parts factory in Colwyn Bay.
:04:47. > :04:50.It's been confirmed tonight that the parent company of Quinton
:04:50. > :04:52.Hazell at Mochdre has gone into administration. Union officials say
:04:52. > :04:57.they'll be meeting the administrators in the hope of
:04:57. > :05:01.keeping the business as a going concern.
:05:01. > :05:03.Last week it was in danger of losing its grant. Now the Welsh
:05:03. > :05:06.Government has stepped in to save the Welsh language Tafwyl Festival.
:05:06. > :05:09.Cardiff Council had said it couldn't afford to give 20,000 to
:05:09. > :05:18.the festival as it faced major budget cuts. But opposition parties
:05:18. > :05:22.say the move creates a dangerous precedent.
:05:22. > :05:26.8000 people visited the Tafwyl Festival last year. A week-long
:05:26. > :05:31.event to celebrate the Welsh language. On Sunday, a public
:05:31. > :05:35.meeting was held after its future was put in doubt. When Cardiff
:05:35. > :05:39.council proposed cutting a grant by �20,000. The Welsh Government will
:05:39. > :05:44.now make up the shortfall leading to accusations that a Welsh Labour
:05:44. > :05:48.government is saving the skin of a Labour council. Would the same kind
:05:48. > :05:54.of response be given to pro- Conservative, Plaid Cymru or
:05:54. > :05:58.Liberal Democrat council? Not many of us think that would be the case.
:05:58. > :06:02.What the government have done is undermined the city council in
:06:02. > :06:08.making sure they should be looking after the Welsh language agenda and
:06:08. > :06:13.not taking a rash decision to take away fund and 100%. This is another
:06:13. > :06:17.organisation facing 100% reduction in funding from Cardiff council.
:06:17. > :06:21.They provide creative programmes for people with learning
:06:21. > :06:26.disabilities. We are desperate for the money. Without it, we could
:06:26. > :06:32.fail. We could fail because we are an organisation which can snow went
:06:32. > :06:39.away. We work with the most vulnerable citizens -- we turn that
:06:39. > :06:45.no one away. Protests have already taken place to try to save a riding
:06:45. > :06:49.school that was facing closure. What hope of the Welsh Government
:06:49. > :06:53.stepping in to support other threatened organisation and events?
:06:53. > :06:57.Not at all. I want all councils to understand responsibility in
:06:57. > :07:02.respect to the Welsh language. We were already investing in this
:07:02. > :07:07.event which has a national focus. The questions being asked by
:07:07. > :07:10.opposition parties tonight is why Tafwyl Festival has been given
:07:10. > :07:16.preferential treatment. Is it because they last Labour government
:07:16. > :07:21.wants to give a helping hand to a Labour council? -- because a Welsh
:07:21. > :07:23.Labour government. Live now to our political editor
:07:23. > :07:28.Betsan Powys. How has the Government responded to the
:07:28. > :07:32.criticism about this decision today? I think it is fair to say
:07:32. > :07:36.the minister and the government are taken aback at the farce that has
:07:36. > :07:41.been created by this particular decision. What they have done it is
:07:41. > :07:47.not just spend a bit of money and the minister was saying, I Wish You
:07:47. > :07:51.made fast as when I spent �5 million on something. It is not the
:07:51. > :07:56.amount but the principle. The other parties have been saying that it is
:07:56. > :08:03.a Labour-run council in Cardiff, even before it has finally voted on
:08:03. > :08:09.some tough spending decisions, the Labour Government's steps in to
:08:09. > :08:12.plug the gap. They have invited the other parties to chomp at the bit
:08:12. > :08:16.and list festivals and libraries and swimming pools in their own
:08:16. > :08:20.patch that would be sorely missed by the community and they would
:08:20. > :08:23.argue is unique. The minister says he has weighed up the evidence here
:08:23. > :08:27.and the value of this festival to the Welsh language, he is the
:08:27. > :08:32.minister responsible for the language, and he has come to the
:08:32. > :08:40.conclusion he should spend the money. No precedent created. This
:08:40. > :08:43.minister has certainly created waves once again.
:08:43. > :08:46.There's been an increase in the number of people working for
:08:46. > :08:49.themselves in Wales. In the year to last summer, 4,000 more people here
:08:49. > :08:52.became self-employed and make up 13% of the workforce. Anglesey has
:08:52. > :08:55.seen the largest increase, in fact, the fourth largest in the UK.
:08:55. > :08:57.Here's our economic correspondent Sarah Dickins.
:08:57. > :09:02.Self-employed people are most likely to be taxi drivers, followed
:09:02. > :09:06.by builders trades and carpenters. The new self-employed are also most
:09:06. > :09:16.likely to be men and over 50. David Phillips of Nantygo is typical of
:09:16. > :09:21.
:09:21. > :09:25.that picture. I'd taken profits of around �150 a week. The turnover is
:09:25. > :09:30.about 250 something like that. It varies from week to week. I do most
:09:30. > :09:33.of my work in the evenings. Dave is one of 177,000 self employed people
:09:33. > :09:36.in Wales, up 4,000 compared with at the start of the economic crisis.
:09:36. > :09:46.Angelsey is a particular hotspot where there's been a 41% increase
:09:46. > :09:46.
:09:46. > :09:51.to more than 13,500 people. Unemployment here is around 16%,
:09:51. > :09:55.twice the Welsh approach. Many are surprised it is not higher after
:09:55. > :10:01.five years of economic crisis. One reason it seems is the substantial
:10:01. > :10:06.increase in the number of people working for themselves. Maybe some
:10:06. > :10:12.people are struggling to find work and are setting up themselves. The
:10:12. > :10:14.older age groups, 50 plus, self- employment is increasing for them.
:10:14. > :10:19.And more than half the increase in self-employment was people working
:10:19. > :10:26.more than 30 hours a week. I am doing about 65 hours a week to make
:10:26. > :10:31.a living. Do you want to work that many hours? No. I would like to do
:10:31. > :10:34.40 hours a week. But I have no choice. In Nantyglo, Dave, like one
:10:34. > :10:38.in ten of the self-employed workforce ,would like to have more
:10:38. > :10:45.work. He has to wait for the wider economy to pick up before that
:10:45. > :10:48.becomes a reality. Still to come tonight: Wrexham's
:10:48. > :10:50.markets were once busy and bustling. But now stallholders are warning
:10:50. > :10:53.they could become a thing of the past.
:10:53. > :10:56.And it could be quite a night for fans at the Liberty Stadium with
:10:56. > :11:06.the prospect of two of Wales star players, Craig Bellamy and
:11:06. > :11:07.
:11:07. > :11:10.Christian Bale, on the pitch The Health Minister Lesley
:11:10. > :11:13.Griffiths says she'll study a report into failings at a hospital
:11:13. > :11:16.in Staffordshire to see if it has any lessons for Welsh hospitals. A
:11:16. > :11:22.public inquiry found years of abuse and neglect at Stafford Hospital
:11:22. > :11:25.led to the deaths of hundreds of patients. In the wake of the
:11:25. > :11:27.findings, the Cynon Valley MP Ann Clwyd has been appointed to review
:11:27. > :11:30.NHS complaints procedures. Last December she announced she was
:11:30. > :11:33.starting a campaign for more compassion in nursing after saying
:11:33. > :11:36.her husband had died like a battery hen in hospital. I spoke to Ann
:11:36. > :11:42.Clywd earlier and began by asking her whether the same problems exist
:11:42. > :11:47.here as those in England. The Prime Minister has asked me to help
:11:47. > :11:51.review the complaints system as far as NHS patients are concerned.
:11:51. > :11:55.will not have particular responsibilities over Wales, but do
:11:55. > :12:01.you believe Wales has similar problems to those highlighted in
:12:01. > :12:05.the inquiry? I am a constituency MP and I know what people have been
:12:05. > :12:09.saying. They complain about Accident and Emergency and long
:12:09. > :12:14.waits and sometimes being sent home. They also right about the quality
:12:14. > :12:20.of care and patients who are not able to reach out to get food and
:12:20. > :12:25.drink. I have had about 1400 letters from all over England and
:12:25. > :12:29.Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland. People have had the
:12:29. > :12:35.experiences of the NHS. You claim to have had first-hand experience
:12:35. > :12:39.of an uncaring NHS. Do you believe people have lost faith? That was my
:12:39. > :12:49.experience, trying to make somebody listen to me at a time when it was
:12:49. > :12:53.essential they did. And also seeing very few nurses around, stopping a
:12:53. > :12:56.nurse and asking a question right, why it isn't my husband in
:12:56. > :13:01.intensive care and being brushed aside and told there were lots of
:13:01. > :13:06.people worse off than he was. The next day, he died. Other people
:13:06. > :13:10.with similar experiences. We need to look at the system of complaints.
:13:10. > :13:20.Who is accountable, what the procedures are, and if there are
:13:20. > :13:21.
:13:21. > :13:24.whistleblowers, the whistleblowers are protected.
:13:24. > :13:27.Wrexham is a historic market town. But without urgent improvements to
:13:27. > :13:30.its three indoor markets, they could become a thing of the past.
:13:30. > :13:32.The warning from some stallholders comes as councillors consider a
:13:32. > :13:35.range of options to entice vendors and visitors to return.
:13:35. > :13:37.From clothing to jewellery, books, music, furniture and food,
:13:37. > :13:40.Wrexham's long had it covered. Since 1848 when the butchers'
:13:40. > :13:43.market began, the general and people's market have also opened.
:13:43. > :13:53.But in the past six years, the number of stalls has dropped from
:13:53. > :13:57.almost 100 to 78. The council are coming the council are trying to
:13:57. > :13:59.stop businesses stalling. A council report considered closing, merging
:13:59. > :14:02.and moving the markets but the reccommendation is to improve the
:14:02. > :14:04.look and layout and increase awareness. But in these days of
:14:04. > :14:12.internet shopping and out-of-town superstores, is there still a
:14:12. > :14:16.market for markets? One experienced trader says there is. Markets can
:14:16. > :14:21.offer specialisation. There is a fabulous book shop in the other
:14:21. > :14:26.market and that sort of thing, at the big multiples do not carry the
:14:26. > :14:34.range. We can do what they do not do and give it to the public at the
:14:34. > :14:38.price they want in the place they want. I thought I'd set out my
:14:38. > :14:42.stall in the town centre to see if shoppers agree. I walk stroll
:14:42. > :14:48.through now and again but there is not anything that appeals. They
:14:48. > :14:51.used to be a first class market town. Those years have gone. Shabab
:14:51. > :14:56.Anwar's family have run stalls at the general market since 1969. He
:14:56. > :14:59.thinks traders need to up their game too. Traders need to look at
:14:59. > :15:03.themselves first before they complain to anyone else. You need
:15:03. > :15:13.to think on your feet and do some research, what can you do to
:15:13. > :15:16.improve your and service? Before you start saying things are bad and
:15:17. > :15:19.blaming the council. The decline in business is affecting most towns.
:15:19. > :15:24.But Wrexham Council hopes its intervention will stop retailers
:15:24. > :15:27.shutting up shop for good. He started out as an apprentice at
:15:27. > :15:29.a car-parts factory in Cwmbran. Now he's in charge of Europe's biggest
:15:29. > :15:32.civil-engineering project. Terry Morgan is the chairman of Crossrail
:15:32. > :15:35.which is London's new east-west rail link. His budget is �15
:15:35. > :15:43.billion. That's about the same as the Welsh Government spends every
:15:43. > :15:47.year. Our business correspondent Nick Servini has been to meet him.
:15:47. > :15:52.I am at the top of what has been described lost one of the biggest
:15:52. > :15:58.hauls in London, this is one of the sites in east London forming part
:15:58. > :16:02.of the CrossRail project. I am just about to go down to meet the man in
:16:02. > :16:08.charge. 45 metres below the surface, from here, you get a sense of the
:16:08. > :16:13.scale of the project. This is one of 40 sites in London. CrossRail is
:16:13. > :16:18.an East-West connection due to open in five years. Two tunnels will
:16:18. > :16:22.take passengers below central London. Passengers from South Wales
:16:22. > :16:27.arriving at Paddington will see journey times transformed. From
:16:27. > :16:33.there, it will take nine minutes to get to the financial area of the
:16:33. > :16:39.City or 16 minutes to get to Canary Wharf. In all, 13 miles of tunnels
:16:39. > :16:44.are being built. This is the main shaft of the site I visited. Full
:16:44. > :16:49.bigging is yet to begin. The Earth is taken from here and by barge to
:16:49. > :16:53.the Thames estuary to build a nature reserve. 64-year-old Terry
:16:53. > :17:00.Morgan has spent a lifetime in engineering but jobs don't come
:17:00. > :17:03.much bigger than running CrossRail. How does an apprentice from a
:17:03. > :17:12.factory in Cwmbran end up running Europe's biggest engineering
:17:12. > :17:15.project? Lucky. I think... I enjoy engineering. I come here and I can
:17:16. > :17:20.learn things. I will never be an expert on how to construct a
:17:20. > :17:25.project like this in terms of the technical detail. I can understand
:17:25. > :17:29.it but I think the whole question about enjoying different
:17:30. > :17:34.experiences, I have done most forms of transport now. I think this is
:17:34. > :17:38.phenomenal. This is the business end of the operation, inside one of
:17:38. > :17:46.the tunnel boring machines. For the next three months, this will travel
:17:46. > :17:51.at 100 metres a week in the westerly direction of Canary Wharf.
:17:51. > :17:57.I am 100 metres in one of the tunnels now and it is quite warm.
:17:57. > :18:02.Directly above me is a river which is an offshoot of the Thames river.
:18:02. > :18:06.I and 10 metres from the cutting face. I can see the electric motors
:18:06. > :18:11.powering the machinery. It is a vast infrastructure project but
:18:11. > :18:15.will any of the benefits be felt in Wales? This is yet more investment
:18:15. > :18:19.for London. Looking at what has been happening over the past few
:18:19. > :18:25.years, the Olympics and now CrossRail and commitments for big
:18:25. > :18:29.capital programmes, electrification on the Great Western, they are all
:18:29. > :18:32.examples of investment in infrastructure. By doing that, we
:18:32. > :18:37.create a growth agenda and jobs. Even though a lot of it is in the
:18:37. > :18:42.south-east, what are you saying, it is spread? Without doubt. That
:18:42. > :18:47.sales pitch to the rest of the UK is a big part of his job. 500 tons
:18:47. > :18:52.of the steel used in the shaft came from a company in Neath. Terry
:18:52. > :19:00.Morgan insists there are more contracts like that up for grabs
:19:00. > :19:03.for Welsh firms. Wales manager Chris Coleman says he
:19:03. > :19:05.has his strongest squad ever to play against Austria in their
:19:06. > :19:08.friendly tonight. Coleman has the option to have Gareth Bale and
:19:08. > :19:11.Craig Bellamy starting a game together for the first time since
:19:11. > :19:15.he took charge. Claire Summers reports.
:19:15. > :19:20.Never has so friendly had such rich pickings and for the first time
:19:20. > :19:24.during his reign Chris Coleman has a squad just missing a few long-
:19:24. > :19:29.term injuries. The prospect of that and play in Bale and Bellamy
:19:29. > :19:32.together for the first time since he took over his one he is
:19:32. > :19:42.relishing. Bale and Bellamy in the same team, you always have a chance
:19:42. > :19:42.
:19:42. > :19:46.to create problems. Such an offensive threat. Wales rely
:19:46. > :19:50.heavily on Gareth Bale, but Tottenham Hotspur do as well now.
:19:50. > :19:56.In terms of the quality we have got, looking at those available for this
:19:56. > :20:00.game, it is the strongest squad we have had. The Gareth Bale factor is
:20:00. > :20:06.one the opposition is fully aware of. He is in sensational form and
:20:06. > :20:13.the Austrian manager says he is well aware of the threat he poses.
:20:13. > :20:17.TRANSLATION: It is probably the key kapok of Wales especially in the
:20:17. > :20:21.offence. -- the key player of Wales. We have to work together and try to
:20:21. > :20:25.stop him. For the man who knows what it is like to win at the
:20:25. > :20:29.Liberty stadium, tonight will be a special moment as he captains his
:20:29. > :20:34.country on home turf. With the club game so strong, he believes the
:20:34. > :20:38.national side can only benefit. Cardiff are top of the league and
:20:38. > :20:41.Swansea are having a really good year and in the Cup final. All
:20:41. > :20:48.things going forward and looking well, hopefully the national team
:20:48. > :20:51.can mirror fit and we have got to do well. We have got to defeat fans
:20:51. > :20:58.something to cheer. Both teams are flying the flag, Cardiff and
:20:58. > :21:05.Swansea, and as Wales we need to do that too. It has been a rocky 12
:21:05. > :21:08.months for Chris Coleman with just one victory in six. He is hoping he
:21:08. > :21:14.will get the ball rolling tonight as they prepare for Scotland and
:21:14. > :21:17.Croatia next month. Live to the Liberty Stadium now.
:21:17. > :21:24.Rob Phillips is commentating for BBC Radio Wales tonight and we can
:21:24. > :21:28.speak to him now. Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out. It seems it never
:21:28. > :21:33.quite works that far and the Wales manager. I understand Aaron Ramsey
:21:33. > :21:37.went for a scan yesterday and it is not too serious. Had it been a
:21:37. > :21:45.qualifier, Aaron Ramsey may well have been playing tonight. But I
:21:45. > :21:49.know he has gone back to his club Arsenal. Just a slight calf tissue
:21:49. > :21:53.injury but they do not want him going back to Arsenal with any
:21:53. > :21:58.serious problems. But a very exciting prospect for welsh fans to
:21:58. > :22:02.see Bale and Bellamy played together. Absolutely. Gareth Bale
:22:02. > :22:07.is the hottest young property in British football. He is being
:22:07. > :22:12.ranked up with the best because of his form with Tottenham. He scored
:22:12. > :22:15.every goal that Wales scored in 2012. He is very important. Craig
:22:15. > :22:20.Bellamy looks refreshed and he is back on the international scene and
:22:20. > :22:26.any Cardiff City fan will tell you he is playing really well in the
:22:26. > :22:31.championship. If he can transfers that prompted the international
:22:31. > :22:36.scene, Chris Coleman will be happy. He seems delighted with the squad.
:22:36. > :22:39.He is. He is very excited. It is rare he gets the likes of Bale and
:22:39. > :22:44.Bellamy together. The first time they will have played together
:22:44. > :22:47.since Gary Speed's last game against Norway. That was a 4-1 win.
:22:47. > :22:51.Chris Coleman will hope for something similar tonight but it
:22:51. > :22:56.will be very tough. Austria are a tough nut to crack but the Welsh
:22:56. > :23:05.fans will turn up tonight full of expectancy. Fingers crossed. Enjoy
:23:05. > :23:08.the match. The game is live on Radio Wales
:23:08. > :23:13.from 7pm. And you can watch the highlights over on BBC Two Wales at
:23:13. > :23:23.11.20pm. It looks like another cold night in Swansea. Lovely sunshine
:23:23. > :23:28.It has been a long winter and it is not over yet. It felt cold in the
:23:28. > :23:33.winds today. Gusts of up to 63 now sought an hour at Aberporth in
:23:33. > :23:38.Ceredigion. It has not been dry everywhere today. There have been
:23:38. > :23:40.showers. The winds will ease tonight with icy patches. Showers
:23:40. > :23:47.are extending today from Aberdaron into South Ceredigion,
:23:47. > :23:50.Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Cornwall. This is known as the
:23:50. > :23:55.Pembrokeshire Dangler in the weather world. It is quite common
:23:55. > :24:00.and forms when the winds are from the north. This evening, further
:24:00. > :24:06.showers for the south-west. Elsewhere, dry and clear. Overnight,
:24:06. > :24:12.a few showers turning up. Temperatures inland falling below
:24:12. > :24:17.freezing. There is a warning of icy patches. Tomorrow's chart shows a
:24:17. > :24:21.front over Ireland moving slowly towards us. Tomorrow morning, a
:24:21. > :24:27.cold start and it could be icy in places. A few showers likely in
:24:27. > :24:36.parts of the North. Otherwise, most of the country dry and bright for a
:24:36. > :24:40.time with weak and hazy sunshine. During the day, cloud will increase
:24:40. > :24:47.and thicken and that will eventually bring rain and sleet and
:24:47. > :24:52.snow in the afternoon. We could see a few centimetres on some of the
:24:52. > :24:56.hills and mountains. Temperatures, up to six degrees. Winds much
:24:56. > :25:04.lighter than today. Outbreaks of rain, sleet and snow tomorrow
:25:04. > :25:10.evening. Turning lighter overnight. Friday, showers will gradually die
:25:10. > :25:16.away. Quite windy again on the west coast. Saturday, mostly dry and
:25:16. > :25:23.settled. Sunday into Monday, not so clear cut. There is a risk of heavy
:25:23. > :25:28.rain and more snow. Not 100% sure how much snow at the moment. Stay
:25:28. > :25:34.tuned for up its. Our picture tonight is cheap braving the cold.
:25:34. > :25:43.Thank you for all of your photographs. Stay warm and keep the
:25:43. > :25:46.woolly coats handy. Louise. Not Louise! You can call me what every
:25:46. > :25:50.you like! Hundreds of patients suffered and
:25:50. > :25:55.many may have died as a result of years of neglect at Stafford
:25:56. > :25:59.Hospital. An inquiry into what went wrong there says there has to be
:25:59. > :26:06.fundamental change from top to bottom in the NHS.
:26:06. > :26:10.In the wake of the findings, and Ackroyd has been appointed to
