Rob Howley make any changes? Good evening. Five members of the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
same family have been killed in a car crash in Saudi Arabia. Three | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
generations of the family from Newport had been making a | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
pilgrimage to Mecca when the taxi they were travelling in crashed | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:54. | ||
into a ditch. The only survivor was a one year-old boy. | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
This has cut to the very core of this community. It will be | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
difficult to find a more well- respected family than the Hayat | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
family. People have been walking around with tears in their eyes and | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
attending the local mosque to pay their respects. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
A family that where the heart of their community. Cruelly and | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
:02:25. | :02:30. | ||
suddenly taken away. 56-year-old man, his wife, his elder son, their | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
daughter were killed when the taxi they were travelling in crashed | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
into a wall. The only survivor, a one year-old boy. He was reportedly | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
found in the arms of his grandfather. Friends have called | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
this a miracle. You can imagine if it was your family. It is tragic | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
just losing one person but when a whole family like that, and an | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
expectant mother seven months pregnant, that is really tragic. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Beyond belief. The family were on a pilgrimage to the holy city of | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Mecca. A trip they had made before and a trip made by millions of | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
Noddy and -- Muslims every year. This visit was particularly special | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
because Sira was due to get married this weekend. Devastating. With | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
five members just gone. It is horrible. No words can express. | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
service was held at their local mosque. Their funerals have been | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
taking place at a holy site in Saudi Arabia throughout the day. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
was very sad and heartbreaking news when the people, especially of this | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
mask, when they heard the news. People could not believe and many | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
of them started crying. 20 members of the extended family had | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
travelled to the country and friends of -- and neighbours have | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
pledged their support when they return with the young boy. The city | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
has immense respect for the Hayat family. There will be real grief in | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Newport tonight at these terrible tragedies that have happened. | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
prayers go to them and we are waiting for them to come and we | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
will be visiting and supporting them on a long-term basis. I know | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
it will not be easy but we will work together to do our best for | :04:25. | :04:33. | |
them. The family are expected back in Newport in the coming week. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
Evening prayers are due to take place shortly and no doubt the high | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
at family will be in the course of everyone in there. The Foreign | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
Office says it is providing assistance as is the Saudi Arabian | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
royal family. The extended family are out in Saudi Arabia. They will | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
want to bring back the young boy as soon as possible, but certainly for | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
the people here, they will be mourning the loss of one of their | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
own. Catholics across Wales have been | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
reflecting on the shock announcement that Pope Benedict is | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
to resign on health grounds. The Archbishop of Cardiff has called | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
for people of all faiths to pray for his well-being. There are | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
150,000 Catholics in Wales and many have been surprised and saddened by | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
the news. Praying for the Pope. At this mass | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
at the cathedral of St David in Cardiff, where ships were asked to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
keep Pope Benedict in their thoughts and prayers. News of his | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
resignation had just come through and this seemed to take everyone by | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
surprise. It is a great shock and he will be a great loss to the | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
Catholic Church. I am from Australia so it was news to me | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
today. Maybe because of ill health, all aged but that is understandable. | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Shocked because it is a long time since the last time this happened, | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
600 years. There are around 150,000 Catholics in Wales. Although Pope | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Benedict has not come here, Wales has gone to the Pope. In 2010, he | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
blessed a mosaic of St David at Westminster Cathedral and pray | :06:14. | :06:23. | |
before the statue of Our Lady which had been bought from Cardiff. | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
bless the people of Wales. Today the Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
called for people of all believes in Wales to pray for the Pope and | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
to have faith that the pastoral care will continue. The life of the | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
Church goes on and with the election of a new Pope, he becomes | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
the focal point, he becomes the father figure as it were. But that | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
does not mean to say in the interim that there is no guidance, no | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
leadership because the rhythm and the life for the Church continues | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
throughout the world. This morning's announcement took even | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the Pope's closest aides by surprise at throughout the day, | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
Welsh Catholics from all walks of life have been taking in the news. | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
A complete surprise to all of us. Saddened also because the reason | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
the Pope wants to resign is because of his health. He is 85. I would | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
suspect there during the last years of the previous Pope, the current | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
one saw him deteriorates so much that he did not want that to happen | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
to him. St Winifred's is one of Wales's haulier sides and a place | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
of pilgrimage. Its custodian says he is saddened by today's news but | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
realises all things must pass. will light a candle for him and | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
wish him the best for the future. We hope the weather takes over will | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
be the same as Pope Benedict. just two weeks' time, the Pope will | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Stepaside and the church will move as quickly as they can to appoint a | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
successor. Catholics around the world will be watching and waiting. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
A woman from Carmarthen Show will not face charges over allegations | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
they she failed to disclose information about the location of | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
one of the victims of Moors murderer Ian Brady. Jackie Powell | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
was arrested last year on suspicion of preventing the lawful burial of | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
Keith Bennett. He was one of five children killed by Brady and Myra | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Hindley. South was police are continuing | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
their search for the missing rugby fan Ben Thompson. He was last seen | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
more than a week ago after the Wales are running game in Cardiff. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
There was close to the television footage of him in the Leckwith area | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
and teams of officers have been combing the backs of the River Ely. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
Come to Wales because we have the skills you need and the people who | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
want to work. That is the message from the First Minister Carwyn | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
Jones as he takes 15 what companies on a mission to San Francisco. The | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
US was Wales's largest trading partner last year but as export | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
figures decline there is a call for the Welsh Government to do more. | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
The Chinese new year brings with it new opportunities for Welsh | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
companies. Bitter something which has not lost on the First Minister | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
as he invited the Chinese ambassador for talks on how to | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
boost trade and business links between the countries. But when it | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
comes to making sure that the Welsh businesses are best placed in | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
foreign markets, is Carwyn Jones a good salesman? We have to sell | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
ourselves to the world. David Cameron does it all the time, Alex | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
Salmond all the time. We have to make sure our name is known around | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
the world. We went to India and came back with a hundred million | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
pounds. Of position parties questioned whether that investment | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
was a result of his visit but the First Minister has been racking up | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
the Air Miles. Two weeks ago he was in Turkey. Then it was on to Dublin, | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
this week to San Francisco, followed by trips to New York and | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
Japan in the next few months. Cardiff-based technology company | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
rant media are going with the First Minister to San Francisco. The | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
latest application has been featured international by Apple. 92 | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
% of the revenue came from abroad. We are hoping to meet some high- | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
level technical contacts as well as meeting up with some blockers, some | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
take industry experts, some of whom we had met before some of whom we | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
have not. Gay and in some lost ground in San Francisco will high | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
on the watch Government's agenda. In the third quarter of last year, | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
a Welsh exports were worth �1 billion to North America but this | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
has now fallen to 915 million. Most recent figures show the total Welsh | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
exports fell by �200 million. recent table of inward investment | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
in the UK have shown that Wales has fallen from the top of the league | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
table to the bottom in about seven years. That is not good. In the | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
Chinese deer of the snake, things can always turn around. According | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
to Chinese astrology, people born in the year of the snake us are to | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
be keen and determined, a trait that will have to be on show this | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
week if Welsh businesses are to be recognised abroad. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
More to come including �1.5 billion gambled on them each year. Dove the | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
crack cocaine of gambling, tonight calls for stricter regulation. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
And after that win in Paris, Royal Rob Howley select the same man | :11:54. | :12:03. | |
:12:04. | :12:04. | ||
They had been described as the crack cocaine of the betting | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
industry and more than �1.5 billion was gambled on them in Wales last | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
year. Electronic gambling machines. Now the they are a target of a | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
campaign for greater regulation but bookmakers say there was no sign of | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
:12:29. | :12:42. | ||
$:/STARTFEED. I am not here to say that machines should be taken off | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
the high street. Our organisation is not anti- gambling. We want to | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
see restrictions put in place. Ingrid Wallace gives counselling to | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
people with gambling problems in Cardiff and also has concerns about | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
the machines which are known as fixed odds betting terminals. | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
people are placing a bet or when people play the National Lottery | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
was something like that, there is a bit more distance and people have | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
time to think in between and talk to other people and do something | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
else in between. I do think that there are potentially not a safe | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
product. Adding up all the stakes in Wales last year gives a total of | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
�1.9 billion, up 5% on the before. A large chunk of that is people | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
gambling away their winnings so the profit for bookmakers and Wales was | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
comparatively lower. There is no empirical evidence that it is a | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
problem. I would therefore say that one has to remember the betting | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
industry is the most heavily regulated sector on the high street. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
The betting shops in Wales support 2000 jobs and contribute a hundred | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
million pounds to the Welsh economy. Fresh out of the bookies, even some | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
customers have concerns. You have one big win and that's game over. | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
Have you seen people lose a lot of money? Thousands of pounds. People | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
are hitting the machines and it's not good. It is like a drug. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
bookmaking industry is conducting research to find out whether the | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
machines are causing any issues but say most people use them without | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
any problems. Campaigners argue that with debts of up to �100 every | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
20 seconds the stakes are too high for vulnerable people. $$CLEAR | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
$:/STARTFEED. Almost one in five cancer patients | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
in Wales say they've experienced a lack of support from family and | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
friends. That's according to research by the charity Macmillan | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
that reveals that some even refuse treatment because they fear | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:15. | ||
relatives will be unable to help them through it. Cancer patients | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
get help for the physical side of their illness but this report shows | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
that thousands of patients are finding they are not getting the | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
emotional support they also need from some of those closer to home. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
Mair Dempster Jones from Mold was diagnosed with breast cancer five | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
years ago. She came through it, but says she couldn't have done it | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
alone. You are given that the diagnosis and to Onye Rome, | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :15:51. | ||
literally. It is your problem and your illness. You need the backing | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
of friends for all sorts of reasons. The charity Macmillan says one in | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
five cancer patients in Wales feel isolated, either because they live | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
far from family or worry that relatives won't be able to cope. | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
Sometimes they have not got anyone to make sure they have eaten or | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
cook them a hot meal. They have difficulty getting prescriptions or | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
getting to an appointment. At worst, people might actually turned and | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
treatment because of some of those practical support us and that Care | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Network is not around them. Former Assembly Member, Karen Sinclair, | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
from Llangollen has lived with cancer for five years. She says | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
where family and friends can't help, alternatives are available. It is | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
absolutely imperative that we reach as many people to say to them you | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
don't have to be alone and you don't have to go through this | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
without support and really good support is there. Cancer patients | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
know that science and medicine can only do so much. A friendly face | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
and helping hand are just as important. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
We don't want a repeat of the Aberfan disaster. That's the | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
message from protestors who've handed in a petition against a new | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
coal mine in the Swansea Valley. They're worried the development | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
could lead to landslides similar to the one seen nearby at Ystalyfera | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
before Christmas. Neath Port Talbot Council says it's considering the | :17:07. | :17:17. | |
:17:17. | :17:22. | ||
application and is aware of concerns. We have come to protest | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
against this proposed mine application because it has a | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
history of landslides as it is. The application could cause further | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
landslides in the area and destroy our villages. | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Catherine Zeta Jones will return to the Oscars stage at the end of the | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
month to reunite with the cast of Chicago. It's ten years since the | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
Swansea actress won an academy award for her role in the film. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Dame Shirley Bassey will be making her first appearance at the | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
ceremony in what's rumoured to be a special tribute to James Bond. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
Next year marks the centenary of the start of the First World War | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
and tomorrow night we begin the first of two special reports from | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
Flanders. Roger Pinney reports from the site of the Battle of | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
Passchendale where in 1917 thousands of soldiers from north, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
south, east and west Wales fought and died. An appeal has been | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:24. | ||
launched to build a Welsh memorial there. This memorial on the | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
outskirts of the town remembers the people of Scotland who died in the | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
first world war but is it time now for one remembering those from | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
Wales? More on that tomorrow. Back to | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
tonight and let's talk Rugby. Here's Claire. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
Good evening. Wales say their win over France has given them new | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
found belief ahead of their next game against Italy in Rome in just | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
under two weeks. In a moment, the thoughts of former Wales and Lions | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
centre Tom Shanklin, who's with us for the duration of the | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Championship. But first, here's how some of the players reflected on | :18:56. | :19:06. | |
:19:06. | :19:08. | ||
that win in Paris. It is up there with one of the best feelings in a | :19:08. | :19:18. | |
Welsh jersey. To go to Paris and Wayne is a huge challenge -- to go | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
:19:28. | :19:31. | ||
to Paris and wind. You could see how much it meant to all the boys. | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
It was an amazing feeling. It is up there with one of the best days of | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
my life. Unbelievable celebrations on the field after the game. It was | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
a fantastic win. We had one opportunity in the second half and | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
we took it. That is what won us the game. We didn't take opportunities | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
against Ireland and it was the difference between winning and | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
losing. Tom, how important was that win for | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
Wales? It has lifted morale. These coaches and players were under | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
pressure and had not won a game for eight matches. You saw the reaction | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
of the players and it meant everything to them. It was not the | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
greatest game but I am sick of seeing Wales play well and lose so | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
the win was important. Hopefully, this is the start of something big. | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
It started with the moment of magic from George North. That was the | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
catalyst. You mentioned the reaction of the players and the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
relief afterwards, many of the players were emotional. It was a | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
great kick by Dan Biggar. George North was the only player who could | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
have finished that offer. There were a lot of emotions after and | :20:51. | :21:00. | |
Jamie Roberts showed his emotion during an interview after the game. | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
It meant so much to him. It has been a tough period for them under | :21:05. | :21:13. | |
there has been a lot of pressure on them. What will a win like that to | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
to the squad? Confidence is everything. They will go to Italy | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
now ins two weeks and feel better about themselves. There will be | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
more self-belief. He beat them and Scotland and then you have England | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
at the end. They could be coming here to win a Grand Slam. The IM | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
glad England won at the weekend because it is in our control now, | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
stopping England winning the Grand Slam and possibly winning the | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
championship. You have to be positive. The let's have a quick | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
chat about Ryan Jones. He was immense. The couple of selection | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
headaches for Robert Howley now. Would you make any changes? Ryan | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
Jones was immense. Gethin Jenkins were immense. There were two senior | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
players who stood out. It is a tough dilemma because Alun Wyn | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
Jones is back and you have a Sam Warburton who will be fit. But I | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
feel you can't wind -- change a winning team. It could be damaging | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
to morale. This is a close-knit team and how dewdrop someone after | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :22:37. | ||
that great win. They will be involved. But I would not change it. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
Football, and Swansea City striker Itay Shechter has been forced to | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
miss the club's warm weather training camp in Dubai. The Israeli | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
player was denied entrance to the country. Defender Chico Flores has | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
travelled, despite an ankle injury picked up in Saturday's 4-1 win | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
over QPR, which is likely to rule him out of the Capital One Cup | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
:23:01. | :23:04. | ||
final at the end of the month. is important for the players to get | :23:04. | :23:14. | |
:23:14. | :23:15. | ||
away for three or four days. We have that play on Sunday at Anfield | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
so it will not be a holiday but the conditions will be warmer. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Cardiff City remain on course for the Premier League. They extended | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
their lead at the top of the Championship to eleven points, | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
despite a goalless draw at Huddersfield. In the Conference, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Wrexham are keeping up the pressure on leaders Grimsby. They beat | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
Stockport 3-1. Newport are slightly off the pace in fifth after their | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
home draw with Tamworth. Snooker, and Mark Williams and | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Matthew Stevens are safely through to the first round of the Welsh | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Open in Newport. Williams beat Liu Chang of China 4-1 this afternoon, | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
while Stevens knocked out England's Alfie Burden 4-2 in his qualifier. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
But two more Welshmen, Gareth Allen and Ryan Day, both lost on the | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
:23:59. | :24:11. | ||
first day of the tournament. It was freezing in Paris on | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Saturday and hopefully it won't be as cold in Rome in a fortnight. | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
Temperatures on Anglesey reached 6C today with some sunshine but | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
Tredegar, over 1,000 feet above sea level, stayed around freezing. Now, | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
in the end, Wales had more rain than snow over the weekend. At the | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
moment, there are two flood alerts in force in south Pembrokeshire, | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
Swansea Bay and on the Gower coast. This evening, largely dry. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
Overnight, thicker cloud may bring a little sleet and snow. Any snow | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
will be light. It will be hit and miss and won't amount to much. | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
Temperatures inland close to freezing or below with the risk of | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
icy patches. Tomorrow morning, a lot of cloud. Cold and grey. Misty | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
in places. A few spots of sleet. The odd snow flurry but not | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
amounting to much. Temperatures around freezing or just above with | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
light winds. During the day, any light sleet and snow flurries will | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
die away, leaving a dry afternoon. Plenty of cloud but it should | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
brighten-up in places. The best chance of sunshine in Gwynedd and | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
Anglesey. Temperatures around 2C to 4C on the Pembrokeshire coast. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Around freezing on high ground. Tomorrow night, dry and with more | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
breaks in the cloud more frost is likely. Windier in the west, though, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
with temperatures on windward coasts above freezing. The chart | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
for Wednesday shows a deep low near Iceland. This is the remains of the | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
Boston Blizzard. It's not heading our way but its fronts are. They | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
will bring a mixture of rain, snow and stronger winds. So Wednesday | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
will start dry but windier with rain on the way. Some snow too for | :25:42. | :25:48. | |
a time. Most of the snow in mid Wales and the north but not lasting. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
It will turn back to rain. Wednesday night will be wet. 20mm | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
to 40mm of rain with a risk of localised flooding. Thursday will | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
start wet. The rain will clear to sunshine and the odd shower is | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
possible. Milder on Thursday but chilly overnight with ground frost. | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
Friday, largely dry. Some sunshine and lighter winds. Our picture | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
tonight is from Gerry Pierce. Snow covered mountains above Llyn Ogwen. | :26:16. | :26:26. | |

The main news again from the BBC: Catholics across Wales have been | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
reflecting on the shock announcement that Pope Benedict is | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
to resign on health grounds. The Archbishop of Cardiff has called | :27:17. | :27:25. | |
for people of all faiths to pray for his wellbeing. | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Five members of the same family from Newport have been killed in a | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
car crash in Saudi Arabia. Three generations of the Hayat family had | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
been making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca when the taxi they were | :27:34. | :27:44. | |
:27:44. | :27:45. | ||
travelling in crashed into a ditch. A one-year-old boy survived. | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
city has immense respect for the family and there will be a lot of | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
grief in a Newport today after these terrible tragedies. | :27:55. | :27:59. |
