:00:08. > :00:12.CEDWHITE Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story: The world's largest
:00:12. > :00:15.passenger planes touches down in Cardiff. Now there are hopes that
:00:15. > :00:20.contracts for servicing the aircraft will follow.
:00:20. > :00:30.There's a huge maintenance depot here with 800 workers. Servicing the
:00:30. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:51.The other headlines tonight, why the law could be changed to make it
:00:51. > :00:58.harder to live in caravans all year round.
:00:59. > :01:03.Swansea tries to get on top of its centre centre -- city centre drink
:01:03. > :01:06.culture. And jazz Carlin misses out by. 014
:01:06. > :01:11.of a second. Good evening. Long-haul aircraft
:01:11. > :01:15.like the Boeing 747 are already serviced there. Tonight British
:01:15. > :01:19.Airways says Cardiff airport could be where the new fleet of 12
:01:19. > :01:23.superjumbo planes are also serviced. That would safeguard hundreds of
:01:23. > :01:29.jobs. The company was speaking as the
:01:29. > :01:39.first Airbus A380 touched down at Cardiff. Live to our business
:01:39. > :01:46.
:01:46. > :01:50.(inaudible) We forget a lot of people work here at Cardiff airport,
:01:50. > :01:55.specifically at the British Airways maintenance facility where there's
:01:55. > :02:02.800 staff. For them they had an historic day today, as the world's
:02:02. > :02:06.largest passenger aircraft flew in. BA's Airbus A380. They got up close
:02:06. > :02:12.and were given the opportunity to see that new aircraft as it came in.
:02:12. > :02:18.They were given a taster, but the real prize for the staff is the
:02:18. > :02:23.prospect of long-term maintenance contracts.
:02:23. > :02:27.With its unmistakably high tail fin and curved Welsh-made wings, the
:02:27. > :02:33.Airbus A380 touched down at Cardiff, the biggest aircraft ever to have
:02:33. > :02:39.landed at the airport. BA has become the first British airline to order
:02:39. > :02:42.the super upbows. Before commercial flights start in September, this was
:02:42. > :02:47.a practice diversion and an opportunity to show the hundreds of
:02:47. > :02:51.staff at the maintenance centre in Cardiff. They already maintain BA's
:02:51. > :02:55.biggest planes here. A decision will be made over the next two years
:02:55. > :03:01.whether that will include the A380s in future. It's a decision we'll
:03:01. > :03:05.make when the time is right. We'll look t the competitive landscape.
:03:05. > :03:11.there a chance it will come to Cardiff? There's always a chance. We
:03:11. > :03:17.have great skills base and a great workforce, fantastic work ethic. At
:03:17. > :03:19.the end of the day, it will be a rational business decision. This
:03:20. > :03:23.aeroplane will need facility investment and the like. We'll have
:03:23. > :03:28.to make that decision at the right time. Board staff were given the
:03:28. > :03:34.chance to see for themselves the inside of the aircraft. The other
:03:34. > :03:42.thing next to it are a couple of cameras. Zblt Cardiff-born pilot
:03:42. > :03:48.learned to fly 30 years ago on gliders at nearby Stagen. Technology
:03:48. > :03:55.has moved on. The wings, for example, they're 50% bigger area
:03:55. > :04:01.than on a jumbo. It's incredibly quiet. For our customers it's quiet
:04:01. > :04:05.inside. There are just under 500 seats on this plane. That's about a
:04:05. > :04:09.third more than you'll find on a 747. It's here at the back of the
:04:09. > :04:14.aircraft thaw get a real sense of the scale of it, particularly with
:04:14. > :04:22.this staircase. That takes me to the upper deck.
:04:22. > :04:29.This Gooly area for the cabin -- Gooly area -- gally area for the
:04:29. > :04:33.cabin crew. BA gave the best indication yet that the maintenance
:04:33. > :04:39.work on the Dreamliner would be coming to Cardiff. This could be
:04:39. > :04:42.significant as BA's Dreamliner fleet will be more than 40 strong. So the
:04:43. > :04:48.world's largest and most advanced passenger planes could be flying in
:04:48. > :04:53.and out of Cardiff to be maintained. But could any be taking passengers
:04:53. > :04:58.in the future? As part of efforts to restructure air travel across the
:04:58. > :05:02.UK, one group of academics and business leaders have put together
:05:02. > :05:07.proposals to develop long-haul services out of Cardiff. The future
:05:07. > :05:12.of the airport is really about long-haul flights. It's got a
:05:12. > :05:16.fantastic opportunity with a long runway to actual actually have
:05:16. > :05:19.bigger aircraft landing and taking off from Cardiff, especially for the
:05:19. > :05:24.transatlantic flight to New York. There's a huge catchment area for
:05:24. > :05:28.that particular flight. If planes of this size are ever going to carry
:05:28. > :05:33.passengers out of Cardiff, it's certainly a long way off. The most
:05:33. > :05:41.realistic hope in the medium term at least is that Welsh engineers
:05:41. > :05:44.service them instead. It was announced today that a new
:05:44. > :05:48.express bus service will take passengers from the city centre of
:05:48. > :05:52.Cardiff every 20 minutes from early in the morning to late at night. The
:05:52. > :05:56.idea is to boost passenger numbers. At its peak this airport had more
:05:56. > :06:00.than two million passengers. Last year that number fell to just over a
:06:00. > :06:06.million. Since then, of course, the Welsh Government has bought this
:06:06. > :06:11.airport. So we've been asking potential passengers what would make
:06:11. > :06:16.this airport more attractive to them. It's pointless looking at
:06:16. > :06:21.Cardiff. You'll have to change or something. You haven't got the
:06:21. > :06:25.long-haul flights. We work abroad a lot. For us, getting from Cardiff
:06:25. > :06:31.would be very convenient. We spend a lot of time, even the short-haul
:06:31. > :06:36.stuff to Europe is actually a lot more expensive from Cardiff in a lot
:06:36. > :06:41.of circumstances than going to Stansted or Heathrow. It would be
:06:41. > :06:48.good for Cardiff itself, where more people have a chance of going better
:06:48. > :06:54.places. I'm joined by the chief executive of the airport John Horn.
:06:54. > :06:57.A lot has been going on today. Let's start with the A380. What does it
:06:57. > :07:00.mean for Cardiff airport the fact that it can land here? It's a
:07:00. > :07:05.feather in our cap. There's only a handful of airports in the UK that
:07:05. > :07:10.can take this, the largest passenger carrying aircraft in the world. And
:07:10. > :07:16.operationally, it means a great deal for us. I mentioned in the item
:07:16. > :07:20.there that people will see some of the most desirable and advanced
:07:20. > :07:23.passenger aeroplanes flying in and out to be maintained. What are the
:07:23. > :07:27.prospects of passengers flying long haul from the airport? Long-term, we
:07:27. > :07:32.think that opportunity exists. That's driven by market. That's what
:07:32. > :07:35.we're focussed on. It's not just the 380. There are planes that would
:07:35. > :07:38.suit those markets. We're talking to airlines across the board at the
:07:38. > :07:45.moment. Some of those things we believe will come about in the
:07:45. > :07:48.future. What are you focussed on? What's in your in-tray? Really, what
:07:49. > :07:52.we're focussing on is what those people have been saying to you - we
:07:52. > :07:56.want more services to Europe. We want more holiday destinations, more
:07:56. > :08:01.business flights. We're looking at that and what we've been able to do
:08:01. > :08:05.already is achieve some of those. We have a fantastic new schedule with
:08:05. > :08:15.Aer Lingus operating over Dublin into the US with fantastic
:08:15. > :08:16.
:08:16. > :08:20.time-saving connections. We've got extra capacity from chart charter
:08:20. > :08:23.operators themselves. Finally, there's been a lot of criticism
:08:23. > :08:27.about the connections to this airport. What difference will the
:08:27. > :08:32.new bus link make today? It will be significant. High frequency, every
:08:32. > :08:36.20 minutes, it's a very high quality bus, with leather seats and WiFi.
:08:36. > :08:41.It's the right sort of connection that enables not just passengers
:08:41. > :08:45.travelling out from the airport, but passengers that are flying in from
:08:45. > :08:50.other places Germany for instance, with lustancea's flight on
:08:50. > :08:54.Saturdays, that's -- Lufthansa's flighted on Saturdays, that bus will
:08:54. > :08:58.be important to them. From a very busy day at the terminal
:08:58. > :09:02.here, back to you. The public services ombudsman for
:09:02. > :09:05.Wales has recommended The Health Board, which runs the Princess of
:09:05. > :09:08.Wales hospital in Bridgend, apologise to the family of an
:09:08. > :09:12.elderly woman and pay compensation following failures in her care. The
:09:12. > :09:17.Health Board has accepted the recommendations. The 82-year-old
:09:17. > :09:20.died days after being admitted to A & E. It comes Dales after a BBC
:09:20. > :09:24.Wales investigation uncovered allegations that an elderly patient
:09:24. > :09:27.was repeatedly neglected at the same hospital. That sparked calls for a
:09:27. > :09:33.public inquiry. A man and a woman have been remanded
:09:33. > :09:37.in custody following the death of a man outside a pub on Thursday night.
:09:37. > :09:42.The pub's manager, Tracy Jones and Anthony Smith, have both been
:09:42. > :09:45.charged with manslaughter after 54-year-old Paul Blackledge died in
:09:45. > :09:51.hospital. They will appear in court next week.
:09:51. > :09:57.A workman, who died while removing asbestos, may have been leak
:09:57. > :10:00.tricuted. 26-year-old James Pull died at the site ten days ago. The
:10:00. > :10:07.Coroner heard he suffered cardiac arrest while working in ceiling
:10:07. > :10:10.space. The school was forced to close over safety fears. The Coroner
:10:10. > :10:13.has adjourned the investigation until October.
:10:13. > :10:18.Holiday homes or permanent homes? Thousands of people along the Welsh
:10:18. > :10:22.coast are living in static caravans all year round, although they are
:10:22. > :10:26.not permitted to do. So now there are calls for the rules to be
:10:26. > :10:29.tightened. Our coastline is crowded with
:10:29. > :10:34.caravan parks and most of them provide the perfect chance to get
:10:34. > :10:37.away from it all for a few weeks a year. Many are breaking the rules
:10:38. > :10:42.and living on such parks all year round. They don't pay council tax
:10:42. > :10:46.but use many local services. Darren miller says it's time to get tough.
:10:46. > :10:51.What we want to do is to improve the regulatory framework, make it easier
:10:51. > :10:55.for local authorities to enforce, tougher the penalties for people who
:10:55. > :11:01.break the law and make sure that this is a phenomenon which we nip in
:11:01. > :11:09.the bud so we can actually have and ennigh a -- enjoy a wonderful
:11:09. > :11:14.industry for generations to come. The current laws on caravanning date
:11:14. > :11:18.to 1960 and Darren says it's time to update them to fit what is now a
:11:18. > :11:24.multimillion pound industry. Nearly two million stay in private caravan
:11:24. > :11:30.holiday homes each year. Half a million rent while 450,000 use
:11:30. > :11:35.touring caravans. Conwy alone is estimated to have 5 5,000 people
:11:35. > :11:41.living in caravans the whole time. With caravanning making up a large
:11:41. > :11:48.proportion of tourism income, you can understand why we don't want to
:11:48. > :11:52.alienate those who want to come. Andy runs Treetop Park near holly
:11:52. > :11:57.well. We do check on the residences of our customers to make sure
:11:57. > :12:02.they're not living here. We monitor usage. We're here every day as
:12:02. > :12:06.owners of the park. We would know if someone was living here. In the case
:12:06. > :12:10.of our area where we're open for ten-and-a-half months, we ask for
:12:10. > :12:17.three proofs of residence and the park license clearly details the way
:12:17. > :12:20.that the caravan can and can't be used. Some arg unite new law could
:12:20. > :12:25.force legitimate caravanners to ditch their pitch and turn their
:12:25. > :12:28.back on Wales. People are urged to have their say over the next few
:12:28. > :12:32.weeks. A man charged with arson following a
:12:32. > :12:37.fire which destroyed a Poundstretcher store in May has been
:12:37. > :12:40.remanded in custody. The 27-year-old Stephen Powell will appear before
:12:40. > :12:44.the Crown Court next month. It closed part of the main street in
:12:44. > :12:47.the town and took six hours to bring under control.
:12:47. > :12:52.Controversial plans for an egg factory housing more than 17,000
:12:52. > :12:55.chickens are due to be discussed by Wrexham Council. The development has
:12:55. > :13:01.been recommended for approval despite concerns over the noise and
:13:01. > :13:06.smell. If the plans go ahead, 400 tons of manure would need to be
:13:06. > :13:11.cleaned out every 60 weeks, which would be used as fertiliser on niche
:13:11. > :13:15.land. Can there be too man many bars in
:13:15. > :13:18.one place? That's what Swansea Council is asking. There are
:13:18. > :13:22.currently more than 250 licenses premises there. With alcohol-related
:13:22. > :13:29.crime on the rise, the leader of the council says something must be done.
:13:29. > :13:36.The council is due to debate a new policy on curbing the number of life
:13:36. > :13:41.senses handed out tomorrow. Another lively night out in Swansea.
:13:42. > :13:45.Revellers from near and far. The seemingly never ending choices of
:13:45. > :13:50.bars and clubs making it a popular destination for hen and stag
:13:50. > :13:57.parties. Has the city's night life Spiralled out of control? There are
:13:57. > :14:04.currently more than 250 licensed premises in the city centre. Last
:14:04. > :14:10.year there were nearly a thousand alcohol-related incidents on Wine
:14:10. > :14:14.Street alone. The cost of policing that was nearly �600,000. The leader
:14:14. > :14:20.of the County Council says enough is enough and says it's time to limit
:14:20. > :14:25.the number of licenses handed out. . It's about being able to maintain
:14:25. > :14:29.the street as a place of fun and safe entertainment, but recognising
:14:29. > :14:33.with people living in the city centre they have rights in terms of
:14:33. > :14:38.what happens in the city centre in the evening. At the moment, when an
:14:38. > :14:42.application is made for a license to sell alcohol, the presumption is
:14:42. > :14:48.that it will be granted. Under the new proposals if there are concerns
:14:48. > :14:53.a new bar or club would have a Negative -- would have a negative
:14:53. > :14:59.impact on the city centre, then the applicant has to prove it wouldn't
:14:59. > :15:02.be the case. Here in Swansea giving places like Wine Street, already
:15:02. > :15:06.packed with licensed premises, there's a feeling it's too little
:15:06. > :15:13.too late. Steve George say manager at one of the bars on the street.
:15:13. > :15:19.He's got another idea. With Wine Street, the need to pedestrianise it
:15:19. > :15:23.and bring a cafe culture and encourage people to come and eat and
:15:23. > :15:28.drink will change the demographic of people coming here. You know older,
:15:28. > :15:34.more responsible people coming into town as a consequence. The council
:15:34. > :15:38.will discuss the presence of sex entertainment venues in Swansea,
:15:38. > :15:40.with the leader hoping it will be possible to ban any opening in the
:15:41. > :15:44.city centre. Both policies will be debated tomorrow evening.
:15:44. > :15:49.Much more to come before 7pm: Including a full weather forecast
:15:49. > :15:52.and all of tonight's sport. One year on, we've been to catch up with
:15:52. > :16:02.Aidan Reynolds the young Welsh javelin thrower who played a crucial
:16:02. > :16:04.
:16:04. > :16:07.part in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
:16:07. > :16:15.The World Swimming Championships are under way in Barcelona. Ashley is
:16:16. > :16:23.here with all the sport. Yes,. 014 was all that separated
:16:23. > :16:27.jazz Carlin from a medal last night. She finished an agonising fourth
:16:27. > :16:32.place in the race. It's a brilliant return to form for a swimmer who
:16:32. > :16:37.missed the London Olympics after suffering grand lar fever. She could
:16:37. > :16:42.yet win a medal this week. Walking out for a World Championship
:16:42. > :16:49.final is a fine achievement for any swimmer. But it was all the sweeter
:16:49. > :16:52.for Jazz Carlin. She missed out on a home Olympics after illness left her
:16:52. > :16:55.unable to trained properly before the Games. 12 months on and it's a
:16:55. > :16:59.different story. She's new a real contender. Last night in Barcelona,
:16:59. > :17:05.she competed in the first of three events, the final of the 400m
:17:05. > :17:12.freestyle. The shortest of her three events is
:17:12. > :17:17.also, in theory, her weakest. She came within a whisker of a medal.
:17:17. > :17:20.Just 014 of a second separated her from the bronze. She smashed the
:17:20. > :17:23.Welsh record too. Jazz spoke to Wales Today before heading to Spain.
:17:23. > :17:27.Then she was confident she was in the best form of her life. This year
:17:27. > :17:32.I've come back. I've had a solid block of training, which I think has
:17:32. > :17:35.really paid off and showed in my racing. I've never had that winter
:17:35. > :17:39.block without illness or injury free. Yeah, I think that's
:17:39. > :17:43.definitely showed in my racing and moving forward it's great to see my
:17:43. > :17:47.times are what they are this year and hopefully I can go faster.
:17:47. > :17:50.couldn't have been more different. She kept getting ill, missing hours
:17:51. > :17:54.of vital training. Ultimately it stopped her from qualifying for the
:17:54. > :17:58.Olympics. It was the lowest point in her
:17:58. > :18:04.career. While others went to London, she had her tonsils out. It gave her
:18:04. > :18:08.time to reflect and she's now focussing on long ere vents like the
:18:08. > :18:12.800 and 1500m, which her coach believes are better suited to her.
:18:12. > :18:15.She wouldn't be the swimmer she is today. That's the hard truth. If she
:18:15. > :18:20.hadn't gotten sick and missed the Olympics, she wouldn't have had the
:18:20. > :18:25.same motivation. She might have had her tonsils out, I'm not sure she
:18:25. > :18:30.would have done the distance training she has. This morning she
:18:30. > :18:36.failed to qualify for the final of the gruelling 1500m event. But her
:18:36. > :18:39.best chance of a medal should come in the 800m on Saturday.
:18:39. > :18:44.Football and speculation is continuing about the future of
:18:44. > :18:48.Gareth Bale and a potential world record move to Real Madrid. The
:18:48. > :18:51.chairman of Tottenham is adamant the Wales international won't be sold,
:18:51. > :18:56.despite the player indicating he wants to speak to the Spanish giants
:18:56. > :19:06.about a move that could be worth more than �80 million. Cardiff City
:19:06. > :19:09.
:19:09. > :19:16.have appointed club director and merch ant bank Memhet Dalman. Last
:19:16. > :19:20.week, former own owner Sam Haman was made honorary president after the
:19:20. > :19:24.backer said a long standing debt had been written off.
:19:24. > :19:30.Swansea City are preparing for a return to European competition. The
:19:30. > :19:34.swans host mall mow in the Europa League -- Malmo in the Europa
:19:34. > :19:44.League. It's very, very important for the
:19:44. > :19:49.team and for the club and for the fans. I think that the first test is
:19:49. > :19:55.Thursday against a very big opportunity for everybody. If it's
:19:55. > :19:59.possible to play, I'm very excited. Yeah, I'm looking forward to this
:19:59. > :20:03.competition. We'll have all the build up this week. The operators of
:20:03. > :20:07.the Millennium Stadium have all but ruled out rebuilding its two-tier
:20:07. > :20:10.north stand to complete three tiers around the ground. Sources have told
:20:10. > :20:14.BBC Wales that the cost of rove building the stand would not be
:20:14. > :20:20.recouped for only a limited improvement to the capacity. The
:20:20. > :20:23.stand is the only surviving part of the old National Stadium which backs
:20:23. > :20:29.on onto Cardiff Arms Park's club ground.
:20:29. > :20:33.Simon Jones is in the Glamorgan squad for their T20 match tomorrow.
:20:33. > :20:38.The Ashes winner hasn't played since May due it a shoulder injury. A win
:20:38. > :20:42.for Glamorgan will see them qualify for the T20 quarter finals.
:20:42. > :20:46.Now it's a year since the Olympics, an event that impacted millions of
:20:46. > :20:51.people in all sorts of different ways. Tonight in the first of a
:20:51. > :20:54.series of reports, we've been to catch up with Aidan Reynolds, a
:20:54. > :20:59.young Welsh javelin thrower who played a crucial part in the opening
:20:59. > :21:03.ceremony. Aidan, based in Telford, was picked to light the flame. 12
:21:03. > :21:09.months on he's still using it as motivation as he chases his own
:21:09. > :21:13.ambitions. With the world watching, it was a
:21:13. > :21:18.moment that stunned Aidan's family and friends, sworn to seekericy he
:21:18. > :21:22.hadn't been able to tell anyone about it. This was the moment last
:21:22. > :21:26.summer when he, with six other young British athletes, carried the
:21:26. > :21:31.Olympic flame around the stadium before lighting the cauldron. 12
:21:31. > :21:36.months on he speaks of that day with disbelief. It was just unbelievable.
:21:36. > :21:39.We were sat there, the six of us and Danny Boyle comes in and tells us
:21:39. > :21:44.what his idea is about inspiring a generation and for about three
:21:44. > :21:50.minutes, there was just silence. No-one knew what to say. We were
:21:50. > :21:56.just laughing. We didn't think, we were like "Is that actually true?
:21:56. > :22:00.Young javelin thrower Aidan Reynolds is nominated by Lynn Davies CBE.
:22:00. > :22:03.Aidan's been representing Wales since a schoolboy. His talent and
:22:03. > :22:07.potential has been recognised by Lynn Davies for some time. Last
:22:07. > :22:15.year, the passing of the torch similar blielzed former champions
:22:15. > :22:21.passing on their legacy to future stars. Aidan's parents knew he was
:22:21. > :22:28.involved but had no idea how big his role would be. The lights went down
:22:28. > :22:32.and we saw seven people and we knew it was going to be crazy. It was
:22:32. > :22:36.nonstop phoning for quite some time. After about five minutes the people
:22:36. > :22:40.next door were knocking on the window with a lot of champagne.
:22:40. > :22:44.a lot of screaming and a lot of tears. It was a very good night.
:22:44. > :22:48.Months on Aidan has completed his first year at Oxford studying
:22:48. > :22:53.physics. During the summer it's dad overseeing his daily training,
:22:53. > :22:57.keeping him on the right road. And this is where his heart lies,
:22:57. > :23:01.throwing the javelin. Studying with exams, moving 100 miles from home
:23:01. > :23:07.and with his coach based in Loughborough, it's been a tough
:23:07. > :23:11.year. But his dedication is easy to see. Last summer, he was through the
:23:12. > :23:16.into the limelight. 12 months on, his aims are clear: The Commonwealth
:23:16. > :23:24.Games next year and then Rio. Definitely. It's a long way to get.
:23:24. > :23:28.There that's definitely the dream at the moment. 68. 77 is my PB at the
:23:28. > :23:31.moment. At the beginning of this season I would have thought I would
:23:31. > :23:34.have thrown further. I've had a tough year. So I can't complain.
:23:34. > :23:41.Being on the biggest stage in the brightest spotlight, now it's time
:23:41. > :23:45.for Aidan to shine on his own terms. Ever since I did the opening
:23:45. > :23:50.ceremony, I told myself, I want to be there again, but as an athlete.
:23:50. > :23:55.That's definitely the dream. , as part of our series, a year on from
:23:55. > :23:58.London 2012, we'll hear from some of the Welsh medallists and finding out
:23:58. > :24:04.whether Olympic success changed their lives. Winning the Olympics
:24:04. > :24:08.has changed my life. I think it's just made me grow up a lot more.
:24:09. > :24:13.Yeah, I've still got so much more experience to get, now because I'm
:24:13. > :24:17.Olympic champion, there's a lot of pressure coming from everywhere to
:24:18. > :24:22.expect me to be the best and winning everything. In terms of personal
:24:22. > :24:26.sponsorship it's not really helped. But everyone says a year after the
:24:26. > :24:30.Games, everyone is looking at different directions and then three
:24:30. > :24:32.years out people look at the Games again. That's tomorrow. I'm done for
:24:33. > :24:36.tonight. Let's see what the weather has in
:24:36. > :24:39.store. store.
:24:39. > :24:44.Derek, a mixed bag? Yes, very mixed indeed. A few places
:24:44. > :24:47.were lucky today and stayed dry. Others have had a drenching with big
:24:47. > :24:51.towering clouds, heavy down pours and thunder storms as well. The
:24:52. > :24:58.showers show up really well on the radar, moving North Eastwards across
:24:58. > :25:03.the country today. Some heavy down pours for example. Sunshine in
:25:03. > :25:07.Swansea. This evening then scattered heavy showers will move away. A few
:25:07. > :25:12.showers overnight in the south and west. Other-wise it's a dry picture.
:25:12. > :25:16.Lowest temperatures 12 to 16 Celsius. Here's the picture for the
:25:16. > :25:21.morning, a cloudy start in the south. A little rain likely for
:25:21. > :25:27.Barry, Cardiff and Newported. Further north, plenty of cloud for
:25:27. > :25:30.Powys and Ceredigion, a few showers. It's nice and bright on the north
:25:31. > :25:36.coast. During the day, rain in the south will move away. It will start
:25:36. > :25:39.to brighten up. A few sharp showers likely in the afternoon. The best of
:25:39. > :25:43.the sunshine in the north. Some places are dry. The wind is lighter
:25:43. > :25:46.than today with temperatures similar with the West to South Westerly
:25:46. > :25:50.breeze. If you're head together cricket in Cardiff tomorrow evening,
:25:50. > :25:55.good news, it should be dry with a breeze. Elsewhere any showers will
:25:55. > :25:59.fade away. Dry for a while, but it won't last. Rain spreads from the
:25:59. > :26:03.south-west after midnight. Into Wednesday, cloudy, outbreaks of
:26:03. > :26:07.rain, spreading their way northwards. The rain heaviest in the
:26:07. > :26:11.north and west. Mist, hill hand coastal fog. Should turn drier later
:26:11. > :26:15.in the south. Into Thursday, much brighter, brightening up with some
:26:15. > :26:21.sunshine. Very warm as well and feeling humid with a south-easterly
:26:21. > :26:26.breeze. Temperatures back into the mid-to high 20s. Showers possible in
:26:26. > :26:30.the north. Later in the west showers could be thundery. Friday is warm
:26:30. > :26:34.and breezy. The chance of a few showers and some sunshine. July was
:26:35. > :26:39.on course to be one of the driest on record, but not any more. There is
:26:39. > :26:45.more rain on the way. Tropical on Thursday, but by the weekend, cool
:26:45. > :26:49.and fresher with sunny spells and showers. Our picture tonight is from
:26:49. > :26:52.Paul Dyer, tower towering clouds, a sign of unstable air and heavy
:26:52. > :26:56.sign of unstable air and heavy showers.
:26:56. > :27:00.The headlines again: British Airways says there's a chance they could
:27:00. > :27:06.carry out the maintenance of its super jumbo passenger planes from
:27:06. > :27:10.its base at Cardiff Airport. Today the company's first A380 touched
:27:11. > :27:14.down in Cardiff on a test flight. The airport's chief executive told
:27:14. > :27:18.us it's looking to develop long-haul services. We think long-term that
:27:18. > :27:22.opportunity exists. That's driven by markets and clearly, that's what
:27:23. > :27:25.we're focussing on the it's not just the 380. There are lots of
:27:25. > :27:28.aeroplanes that suit those markets. We're talking to airlines across the
:27:28. > :27:33.board at the moment. Some of those things we believe will come about in
:27:33. > :27:37.the future. We'll have an update for you here at
:27:37. > :27:40.8pm and I'm back after the BBC News at 10pm. That's Wales Today. Thanks
