Good evening and welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: 40 | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
years each for the men who murdered 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi. The | :00:10. | :00:16. | |

this will go some way to achieve Two more investigations are ordered | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
into the sale of millions of pounds worth of public land across Wales | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
as a regeneration fund is suspended. How much is your household | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
spending? Why families living in rural areas spend more than those | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
living in cities. The travelling fans are not just | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
there to see the sights. They are there to see Wales right the wrongs | :01:00. | :01:07. | |

prepares for its new season, its artistic director defends the cost | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
Good evening. Two hit men convicted of killing a Cardiff teenager in a | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
case of mistaken identity have been told they will have to serve at | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
least 40 years each in prison. 17- year-old Aamir Siddiqi was at home | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
with his parents when two masked men burst in and stabbed him. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
Sentencing Jason Richards and Ben Hope, the judge told them if they | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
die behind bars no-one is likely to shed a tear. From Swansea Crown | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
Court, Caroline Evans reports. Describing them as brutal, Savage, | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
callous and cruel, today the judge said 38-year-old Jason Richards and | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
39-year-old Ben Hope had taken a human life for just �1,000 each. A | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
pittance. The modern-day equivalent of taking 30 pieces of silver. By | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
contrast, he said, the quiet dignity of Aamir Siddiqi's family | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
had been humbling. We feel this sentence is appropriate. Our | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
brother will not have returned to us but this will go some way to | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
achieve peace for all of us. We would like to thank South Wales | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Police, the CPS, friends and family and a wider current -- Cardiff | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
Community. At 17, Aamir Siddiqi was a bright, popular student hoping to | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
study law. But in 20th April 10, he was murdered in his own home when | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
he answered the front door to two masked men. Inside the family | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
hallway, despite his parents desperate attempts to buy them off, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
based at him to death. Neighbours say they were stunned at what | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
happened in this leafy suburb of Cardiff. Just frantic. A big police | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
presence. We had the feeling something that had gone on. When we | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
learnt the boy had been murdered it was terrible. Richards and hope | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
were found guilty of murdering Aamir Siddiqi and attempting to | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
murder his parents. He was recovering from an operation, both | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
were stabbed as they tried to jump on the mend and Paul them off their | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
sent. During the trial the jury was told that two would drug-addict, | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
their supply an Asian businessman which was said that man who ordered | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
the contract killing. Their target address was an end-of-terrace house | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
in Shirley Road. They went into the house 70 yards away. There, Aamir | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
Siddiqi was waiting for his car ran teacher to arrive. The police said | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
this was one of the most complex investigations they faced. They | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
sifted through eight-and-a-half years' worth of the CCTV footage. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
Today, they were commended by the judge. Following the court case | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
that a policeman who wants to remain anonymous has come forward | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
to say he too was attacked by Jason Richards when he was out on a night | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
out with friends. Richards was jailed for his 27 months as a | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
:04:45. | :04:47. | ||
result. He laid into me and I went blank and unconscious. My head hit | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the kerb. It caused the fractured skull. Throughout this case both | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
men blamed each other for the attack. Passing sentence, the judge | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
told them, you are both dangerous men and and maybe you are never | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
released. If you die in jail few will shed a tear and some may say | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
it will be no more than you deserve. Two more investigations are | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
underway into the sale of more than �20 million worth of publicly-owned | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
land to a company based in Guernsey. We revealed last year that the | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
Regional Investment Fund for Wales was being looked at by the Audit | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
Office. The Fund has now been suspended and its projects put on | :05:25. | :05:35. | |
hold. 16 parcels of land spread around | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
Wales. Sold in a deal worth around �21 million. In terms of the number | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
of sight it was one of the biggest disposals of public land in many | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
years. The question is that the tax payer get value for money? The | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
Regeneration Investment Fund for Wales was set to have to redevelop | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
town centres like Neath. Its funding came from the Welsh | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Government and the EU. The Welsh Government sold the parcels of land | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
in order to raise its share of the money. Managers of the investment | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
fund handled that sail for them. The sites were bought by a company | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
in Guernsey. It is that sale process which has come under | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
scrutiny. It was referred to the auditors by the Conservative | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
Assembly Member, Byron Davies. He says the site should have been sold | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
-- sold off separately. Then, only sold after an open advertising | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
campaign. We have had 16 parcels of land sold for just over �20 million. | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
I know that one of them is within here and is worth more than �100 | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
million. It is disappointing for the taxpayer, a great loss of money | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
and in his handling of fiscal arrangements by the Labour | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
government was are this is one of the most valuable site so, it is in | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
Monmouth. The last Government's defended the bundling up process. | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
It said whilst there was no open tendering process 16 developers and | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
agents were approach. The fund has been suspended but the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
investigations are carried out. The redevelopment of any town centre is | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
the only scheme that has been signed off so far. A feature -- the | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
future is more uncertain for eight other redevelopment. Nick joins me | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
now. What turn these two new inquiry is going to be looking at? | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
The Regeneration Minister informed Assembly Members here that two | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
internal inquiry's under way. The first a look at that a specific | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
disposal of the land by the fund and a broad look at the oversight | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
of the fund by the Welsh Government. Both of these will run in tandem | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
with their investigation. It has been under way for a few months now | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
by the Auditor General. We have three separate investigations, | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
plenty of scrutiny of this fund and that property deal. Another issue | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
is that in the future the site could increase dramatically in | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
value. It is likely that a number of them will be developed for | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
housing. As Byron Davies eluded two in his club, the most striking | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
example is 120 acres of farmland to the north of Cardiff and if that is | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
developed it could be worth tens of millions of pounds. The crucial | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
question is how much of that is going to be shared by the Welsh tax | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
payer? There is a clawback mechanism which will allow that to | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
happen. At this stage we don't know how much that is and exactly which | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
sides that clawback mechanism applies to. I suspect that will | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
form a central part of any of these inquiries that are now under way. | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
The First Minister says he is disappointed that the budget deal | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
agreed today by the European Council. The Prime Minister David | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Cameron who had been pressing for cuts hailed it as a good deal for | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
Britain. Carwyn Jones said provisional compilations show Wales | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
could lose up to �400 million which will be felt mostly in west Wales | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
on the Valleys. Police closed off part of a major | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
road in Cardiff today as they continued the search for a missing | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
rugby fan. 34-year-old Ben Thompson from Haverfordwest disappeared | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
:09:40. | :09:40. | ||
after last Saturday's Six Nations game against Ireland. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Police are appealing tonight to anyone who uses heroin to contact | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
their GP after two men collapsed in the Cynon Valley in incidents which | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
are believed to be linked with the drug. A 28-year-old and a 40-year- | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
old, whop are being treated at Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
were found in separate streets in Aberdare and Cwmbach within 30 | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
minutes of each other. One is said to be in a life threatening | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
condition. Families across Wales spend a | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
larger part of their weekly bills on food and non-alcoholic drinks | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
than any other of the UK. The figures also show it costs �52 a | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
week more to live in rural areas than in towns. With all the details, | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
here's our economics correspondent, Sarah Dickens. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
The family kitchen, the room and the House that it seems absorbs the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
large share of our spending. As a proportion of earnings families in | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
West spent more on me as at home than any other part of the UK. This | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
woman, her husband and three children live in the countryside | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
near Wrexham. Their weekly there was a higher -- is a bit higher | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
than the average. It is similar every week. Week by a foot over the | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
internet. That comes every Friday morning. We have a cleaner once a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
week so it doesn't change too much. The children have a piano lesson | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
every week so it stays the same. Their food bill is about �130 per | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
week. On food and non-alcoholic drinks, we spend an average in | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
Wales �52.60 a week. We spent the lowest amount in the UK and | :11:08. | :11:16. | |
personal goods, insurance, banking and legal services. And the least | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
on household goods at �22.10. As well as that the least amount on | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
health, for instance with osteopaths, private dentists or | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
homeopath, just �3.10. The report spells out the different costs for | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
rural and urban living. People in the countryside tend to spend less | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
on housing and clothes but more on alcohol and tobacco, food and | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
transport. People in rural areas depend on cars, rising fuel prices | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
mean the man they have to spend in total has increased. Another thing | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
that may be a suspicion although there is a clear evidence, the | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
retail choice available for people living in the country said his last. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
They are paying higher prices for their everyday goods. We have to go | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
in the car because that is a big thing. We noticed that when petrol | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
prices increased. When we come by rural and urban aid is, across the | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
UK we spent on transport than food. Does Cardiff threaten Newport's | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
identity? Why there are calls to keep the two cities separate. | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
Hundreds of fans have travelled to Paris to see the sights and to see | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
their team face France in what is in must-win game. We will have all | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
the build up from Paris. Farmers and vets say a virus that | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
leads to birth defects and lambs has been increasingly detected here. | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
The Schmallenberg virus first detected in Germany is thought to | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
have have been carried here by midges and infected some sheep and | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
cattle last summer and early autumn. But it is only now, with the | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
lambing season getting underway, that the scale of the problem is | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
beginning to emerge. This report from our rural affairs | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
correspondent. For six weeks Colin Evans have been | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
lambing at his farm near Abergavenny. He has 800 news that | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
has seen an increase in lambs born with abnormalities and blames the | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Schmallenberg riders. This is our latest mismatch case which we had | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
borne a couple of days ago. The leg joints at extremely deformed. This | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
front like here will not straighten at all. Compared with this Norman | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
Lamb, that is a normal leg and that is the Schmallenberg deformed leg. | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
A up to 25 lambs have been lost on this farm. Elsewhere Monmouth | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
shuddered her early lambing in areas of South Wales, there are | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
reports of farmers suffering heavy losses. It could be problematic for | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
dairy and beef farmers when carving start. It is important to try to | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
get a vaccine out as soon as possible to give far was the choice | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
to be able to vaccinate or not. There is one in the development | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
stage. We need to make sure it is licensed as soon as possible. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
isn't a legal requirement on farmers to tell the a authorities | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
there are cases of Schmallenberg on their farms. It is going to be | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
difficult doing this lambing season to know exactly how many | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
Schmallenberg cases they are how widespread it is the stock these | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
newborn lambs are healthy and there is no evidence linking the vilest | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
to any health risks for humans. It is named after a town in Germany | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
where Schmallenberg was detected in Europe 18 months ago. This vet says | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
there are cases on the Gower and he it is a farmer's to ask for advice. | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
It is important that farmers are aware of the disease. What the | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
primary symptoms are, what a lookout for and equally as | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
important, if the do see any suspicious eyes the do report it to | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
their own vet was up back at this farm, Colin Evans has does has a | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
healthy lambs to Rea but is concerned about future losses. | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
the price of lamb falling at the moment it will have an enormous | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
impact on the bottom line figure of the balance sheet on the end of the | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
year. The first signs of spring had arrived in Monmouthshire despite | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
working long hours, many farmers enjoyed alarming period. This has | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
been overshadowed by the Schmallenberg violist busier. No | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
news yet if all went the vaccine might be ready. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
The chief executive of the National Eisteddfod said it will be a | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
disaster if the event adopted plans to alternate between two permanent | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
bases. A working group set up by the Welsh Government has suggested | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
the change but Elfed Roberts says the decline in Welsh language | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
communities means there is a greater need for it to travel. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
A green belt is needed in Cardiff to separate the city from Newport | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
according to Newport councillors. They're concerned that plans to | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
:16:23. | :16:24. | ||
develop the capital threaten Newport's identity. | :16:24. | :16:32. | |
Newport. Cardiff will stop sister cities but with different | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
identities. They could be under threat according to some in Newport. | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
Plans to build 2,000 new houses here it in North these Cardiff over | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
the next decade could eat into the so-called Newport, Cardiff gap. One | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
of Newport's most famous sons also known as NHC, says this may not be | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
such a bad idea. Her identity is something people have and keep to | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
themselves. I don't have a problem with Cardiff and Newport merging. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
It could be a good thing. Change could be good for Newport. Newport | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
council wants a green belt in this area to make sure any The City | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
overlaps culturally or physically. What is the view from the other | :17:19. | :17:27. | |
side? Frank Hennessey has been chronicling the fortunes of Cardiff | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
for decades. He views the cities as siblings, but with no shared future. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
Generally, a Big Brother and a small brother. A Big Brother | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
telling him into bathos are you have got have a bit of a green belt, | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
an no man's land. Both councils say that his appetite for the cities to | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
merge but the south-east where city region is being looked at. Cardiff | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
as the capital city, its knees to establish itself as the generator, | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
not just for the city region, but for their regions. A gap is more | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
than just a strip of land. It is the gulf in culture and character. | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
Some feel there is more that unites the two than divides them. That | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
made to this gap closing for. There is another tense weekend of | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
Six Nations rugby ahead. Wales desperately need to beat France to | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
end a losing streak of eight consecutive matches, their worst | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
run for a decade. France have their problems too after their shock | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
defeat in Italy on Sunday. But many observers think they will be a | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
different proposition at home. Our reporter sent this report from | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
:18:58. | :18:58. | ||
Paris ahead of the big game. Paris at sunrise. Whilst being one | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
of the world's most popular destinations the city of Light has | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
been a dark and cruel place for Welsh like the fans over the years. | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
-- rugby fans over the years. And yet, they return every other year | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
in their hundreds. You never know which France team will turn up. | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
They are looking for a backlash after the its elite last. I think | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
it is keep the faith in Rob Howley. I don't know. They seem to go from | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
Champs to chomps. It is the same team. I think they will make a | :19:45. | :19:52. | |
comeback. The French and good when they are on form but I think Wales | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
will turn it around tomorrow. other basic mistakes in get a good | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
start. A good start with lessons learnt from the performers against | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
the Irish on the opening Six Nations weekend. At a performance | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
that was unacceptable according to Rob Howley who admits he is under | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
pressure. When we win we are not as good as we are portrayed, when we | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
lose we are not as bad as we are portrayed. It is tough. Nobody says | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
:20:34. | :20:38. | ||
it is easy. I just hope that we can win. The French will want to bounce | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
back following a shock defeat in Italy. I hope we will have more | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
:20:54. | :20:55. | ||
urgency and more clinical, more desperate. We lost against Italy. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
Paris is home to his small but patriotic was community. If -- | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
beware wounded Frenchman is that the message. They will expect Wales | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
to put a good performance. We will expect the French to play with | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
panache. Wales certainly face a monumental challenge having won in | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
France just four times in over 40 years. Rob Howley played a | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
prominent role in two of those games. Will he be the catalyst that | :21:31. | :21:39. | |
brings his team's losing a friend to an end? -- losing run to an end. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has appointed a new | :21:41. | :21:43. | |

The artistic director of the Welsh National Opera has defended the | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
amount of public money that is spent on the arts saying we risk | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
turning back into animals without the country's cultural institutions. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
The WNO relies heavily on public subsidy but David Pountney says the | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
arts give a lot more value to society. He has been speaking to | :22:21. | :22:23. | |

If you were in Gwynedd or Anglesey Welsh National Opera's new | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
production opens tonight. It is a story of an actress and dancer | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
whose destructive lifestyle comes at a high personal cost. It's | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
directed by David Puntney Bennett is the first production he has | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
fully of the scenes is joining WNO thin 18 months ago. It is an urban | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
peace and comes from the glamourous Vienna of the 1920s, 1930s. A very | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
hectic decadent time. A time when women's liberation was beginning to | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
:23:17. | :23:17. | ||
be a hot social topic. Opera is an expensive business with �10 million | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
of public money has funded WNO in this financial year. While arts | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
organisations have had to tighten their belts in recent years David | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Puntney believes funding is justified. Weary society that | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
generate a surplus and part of that is expressed and the fact we bring | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
beauty and we bring cultural ideas, we bring philosophical ideas and | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
music into our being. That is what makes a civilised. If we don't do | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
that then we are turning back into animals. David Puntney has been | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
called and all the radical with new ideas. Audiences and critics will | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
hope his impact on WNO will be something to sing about. Plenty of | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
drama in North Wales. If you were in Gwynedd on Anglesey the chances | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
are you might have felt the earth move. Around 50 people contacted | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
the British Geological Survey saying their windows were shaking. | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
The 2.3 magnitude earthquake happened south-west of Caernarfon | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
at 10:40pm last night and was also felt in Anglesey, Porthmadog, and | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
Bangor. This is what people in Caernarfon have to say about it. | :24:29. | :24:38. | |
We heard two rumbles. Whether it was the earthquake or not. It is | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
are like this is California are anything. I heard this terrible | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
rumbling and never thought anything about it until you mentioned it to | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
make a stab I had been in one or when I lived on the Wirral. It has | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
nothing like that, a couple of noises that was different to normal. | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
Ever experienced anything like that Tremors are not unusual in north | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
west Wales. In fact, the biggest known earthquake in Britain took | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
place on the Lleyn Peninsula in 1984. Now from the core of the | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
earth to the atmosphere, and there's some heavy rain on the way | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
over the weekend and a risk of some snow. A yellow warning has been | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
issued by the Met Office. At the moment, the greatest risk of heavy | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
snow on Sunday into Monday is in mid and north Wales, especially on | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
high ground. Mind you, it's not a done deal on how much snow we'll | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
get. Tonight - cloud and rain in the west will spread across the | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
country. A little sleet or snow on high ground. Temperatures staying | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
above freezing with light to moderate winds. Tomorrow a dull and | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
damp morning for most of the country - the north, mid Wales and | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
the south. Light rain, drizzle. Mist and hill fog. The southwest | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
dry and milder. Seven Celsius in Haverfordwest. During the day, more | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
of the country should become dry. Brighter in the west with a little | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
sunshine but parts of the east, northeast including Deeside may | :26:05. | :26:13. | |
stay damp. Temperatures four to seven Celsius with light winds. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
Eight in Pembrokeshire. Over to Paris and I wouldn't rule out a | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
light shower tomorrow. Otherwise dry with light winds. Temperatures | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
rising from freezing to a high of five Celsius. Hopefully we'll be | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
celebrating a Welsh win tomorrow night and if you are heading out | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
watch out for rain. This turning heavy. The chart for Sunday shows a | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
trough of low pressure over the UK bringing heavy rain and some snow. | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
So Sunday wet. 10mm to 20mm of rain. A risk of snow in mid Wales and the | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
north. The coast may not see much but inland five to ten centimetres | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
is possible. More on high ground, especially on the Berwyn Mountains. | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
In the far south and southwest, it may dry and brighten-up during the | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
afternoon. Sunday night into Monday risk of more snow in the north and | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
northeast and the south may see a little sleet or snow as well. Next | :27:02. | :27:12. | |
