Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines.

:00:20.:00:28.

5,000 people treated at Welsh hospitals will be contacted after a

:00:28.:00:30.

health care worker infected two patients with Hepatitis C.

:00:30.:00:37.

MP Nigel Evans tells the Commons he'll continue to represent his

:00:37.:00:40.

constituents, after being charged with eight sexual offences,

:00:40.:00:49.

including rape. 15 years ago, women were allowed to

:00:49.:00:51.

including rape. become priests. Now members of the

:00:51.:00:57.

Church in Wales gather to decide whether women can become bishops.

:00:57.:01:01.

Using tolls from the Severn crossings to fund an M4 relief road

:01:01.:01:05.

- why some business leaders are concerned by the idea.

:01:05.:01:09.

Prince William has done his last shift at RAF Valley, ending his time

:01:09.:01:12.

as a search and rescue helicopter pilot on Anglesey.

:01:12.:01:15.

And after another disappointing night for Welsh football, questions

:01:15.:01:18.

over the future of the Wales manager.

:01:18.:01:24.

5,000 people are to be offered blood tests after a retired health worker

:01:24.:01:29.

infected two people with Hepatitis C. The person, who can't be

:01:29.:01:36.

identified, spent most of their career at Caerphilly District

:01:36.:01:38.

Miners' Hospital, but also worked in other parts of Wales and the UK.

:01:39.:01:42.

Here's our health correspondent Owain Clarke.

:01:42.:01:52.

5500 women in Wales will receive a letter within the next few days. It

:01:52.:01:56.

is one of the most serious public health alert ever seen here. At

:01:56.:02:01.

least two patients contracted the disease from the health care

:02:01.:02:05.

Caerphilly District Miners' Hospital for almost 20 years. They all spent

:02:05.:02:12.

time at the hospital in Pontypridd and in North Wales. Health officials

:02:12.:02:18.

in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are also contacting former

:02:18.:02:21.

patients who may have come into contact with the infected person.

:02:21.:02:28.

This incident is wider than Wales. The health care worker worked in

:02:28.:02:31.

England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. All four of the areas can

:02:31.:02:40.

do the same thing for patients who may be at risk. Hepatitis C can have

:02:40.:02:47.

no obvious symptoms but they can be flu-like symptoms, tiredness and

:02:47.:02:54.

depression. In some cases, it can lead to serious liver damage. You

:02:54.:02:58.

can catch the virus by coming into contact with the blood of an

:02:58.:03:04.

infected person. And in the vast majority of cases, treatment is

:03:04.:03:10.

successful. Over the last decade, a lot of new and effective drugs have

:03:10.:03:16.

been developed. 20 years ago, knowing you had the disease did not

:03:16.:03:22.

help but now there is effective treatment that can get that of the

:03:22.:03:26.

chronic disease. It is worthwhile knowing you have got it. Health

:03:26.:03:32.

officials insist that patients will receive this letter but should not

:03:32.:03:37.

be overly alarmed. But with two cases confirmed, they are urging

:03:37.:03:41.

women who could be at risk to get in touch so that they can be offered

:03:41.:03:51.

tests, advice and support. The director of public health for

:03:51.:03:56.

the Aneurin Bevan health board joins us now. People who receive these

:03:56.:04:00.

letters are going to be worried. What is your message to them

:04:00.:04:06.

tonight? My message would be that we are really contacting them as a

:04:06.:04:11.

precautionary measure. We are contacting anyone who was definitely

:04:11.:04:15.

or possibly treated by this health care worker to come forward so that

:04:15.:04:19.

we can offer them an appointment and a test for Hepatitis C. How and when

:04:19.:04:25.

did you become aware that this was a serious issue? We became aware that

:04:25.:04:32.

there had been a transmission to a case in May of this year. We were

:04:32.:04:40.

advised by the UK advisory panel on blood-borne viruses that we needed

:04:40.:04:45.

to start a look back exercise which would involve looking through

:04:45.:04:49.

thousands of clinical records, over 20 years of history, and a shorter

:04:49.:05:00.

time for some health boards. We were then alerted by the laboratory about

:05:00.:05:08.

the second transmission because they had that patient's details on record

:05:08.:05:12.

and made the same match to the health care worker. Do you believe

:05:12.:05:18.

this could have been prevented? Nowadays, in 2007, there was some

:05:18.:05:26.

new guidance which said all people entering the NHS who were going to

:05:26.:05:30.

perform exposure prone procedures needed additional health clearance

:05:30.:05:35.

so that they should definitely be proven to be free of HIV, Hepatitis

:05:35.:05:40.

B and Hepatitis C before they began work. Obviously, 20 years ago, that

:05:40.:05:48.

was not the case. Thank you. The Swansea-born MP Nigel Evans says

:05:48.:05:51.

he'll defend himself robustly after being charged with eight sexual

:05:51.:05:54.

offences, including rape. Mr Evans, a former Conservative spokesman on

:05:55.:05:57.

Wales, told the House of Commons he'd resign as its Deputy Speaker,

:05:58.:06:01.

but would carry on as an independent MP. From Westminster, here's our

:06:01.:06:04.

parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock.

:06:04.:06:12.

Back at work in the House of Commons less than 24 hours after being

:06:12.:06:16.

charged with eight sexual attacks. Nigel Evans made an emotional

:06:16.:06:20.

personal statement to MPs explaining why he had resigned as Deputy

:06:20.:06:25.

Speaker. This is the most painful thing I have in due at in my life

:06:25.:06:29.

alongside the loss of my mother in 2009 and the loss of my brother

:06:29.:06:33.

earlier this year. Winston Churchill said, when you are going through

:06:34.:06:40.

hell, keep going. Sage advice. I will see this through to the end.

:06:40.:06:44.

With the support of the people who mean so much to me. He has said he

:06:44.:06:51.

will sit as an independent while legal proceedings continue. His

:06:51.:06:54.

speech got a sympathetic response from many MPs here but others

:06:55.:06:59.

wondered whether it was appropriate, given the very serious criminal

:06:59.:07:04.

charges he now faces. The former Shadow Welsh Secretary spent

:07:04.:07:08.

yesterday more than 200 miles from Westminster at Preston police

:07:08.:07:11.

station being questioned by detectives. He emerged last night

:07:11.:07:16.

charged with one rape, five sexual assaults and two indecent assaults.

:07:16.:07:21.

The alleged victims are all men. He has consistently denied the

:07:21.:07:26.

allegations. I have today answered bail following complaints I have

:07:26.:07:31.

said were incredulous. While I am saddened this case has not been

:07:31.:07:35.

closed today, I am certain of two things. Firstly, that I am innocent,

:07:35.:07:40.

and secondly, that my innocence will be demonstrated. Nigel Evans will

:07:40.:07:45.

make his first court appearance a week today.

:07:45.:07:48.

A prisoner who's serving a life sentence has admitted attacking the

:07:48.:07:51.

man who murdered five-year-old April Jones. Juvinai Ferreira, who's 22,

:07:51.:07:54.

wounded Mark Bridger at Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire. Bridger

:07:54.:07:58.

was jailed for killing April, from Machynlleth, earlier this year.

:07:58.:08:01.

Juvinai will be sentenced next month.

:08:01.:08:11.

Unemployment in Wales has fallen by 7,000 in the last three months. The

:08:11.:08:14.

latest figures show 118,000 people here are now out of work. Across the

:08:14.:08:18.

UK, unemployment has fallen by 24,000.

:08:18.:08:22.

Members of the Church in Wales have been gathering in Lampeter on the

:08:22.:08:26.

eve of a vote which will decide if women can become bishops. For some,

:08:26.:08:29.

it is a long-awaited, logical step after women were given the right to

:08:29.:08:33.

become priests back in 1996. But others say a vote in favour would

:08:33.:08:36.

split the church. Caroline Evans reports.

:08:36.:08:42.

When the Church in Wales agreed to ordain women as priests, the women

:08:42.:08:47.

involved said it was a turning point in the history of the church. For

:08:47.:08:52.

them and their supporters, the next obvious and logical step was to

:08:53.:08:57.

appoint women as bishops. 17 years on, they hope that moment might

:08:57.:09:03.

finally come. Among the first women ordained was the Reverend here. For

:09:03.:09:10.

her it is unthinkable that the church would say no to women as

:09:10.:09:15.

bishops. So why issue putting forward an amendment that some fear

:09:15.:09:21.

could scupper the whole bill? There is the possibility for infinite

:09:21.:09:25.

delay. We will not have women bishops until a second law is passed

:09:25.:09:29.

to make provision for those who dissent. That could mean that every

:09:29.:09:33.

governing body, twice a year, for ever, could be an argument about how

:09:33.:09:39.

best to care for them. As a way Christian people should proceed is

:09:39.:09:41.

away by mutual agreement in that way. Today, the governing body began

:09:41.:09:48.

gathering in Lampeter. They will vote on the issue tomorrow but it

:09:48.:09:52.

looks like being a lengthy and passionate debate. There are still

:09:52.:09:54.

those within the church cannot accept the idea of women as bishops.

:09:54.:10:00.

The bishops here are raging people to vote in principle for the idea

:10:00.:10:04.

while promising that in practice nothing will change until another

:10:04.:10:08.

bill is passed to cater for those who object to the idea. People like

:10:08.:10:16.

Father Ben Andrews. He says he and others would have to consider their

:10:16.:10:22.

future if the bill is voted through. My fear is that it is going to cause

:10:22.:10:27.

great disunity within the church. Yes, we have lived with women

:10:27.:10:33.

deacons, women priests, for the last ten or 15 years, but this is a whole

:10:33.:10:42.

new ball game. It leaves us in a mess as to where we can be. We have

:10:42.:10:48.

been told we have an honoured place within the church but that place is

:10:48.:10:52.

going to be incredibly difficult if not impossible for us to stay and

:10:52.:11:01.

remain. It is a complicated picture. If the bill is passed, it will not

:11:01.:11:07.

guarantee the ordination of women as bishops and it will be at least two

:11:07.:11:10.

years until the next step is taken in that direction. The uncertainty

:11:10.:11:20.

is not acceptable. But if it all fails, the whole idea will be

:11:20.:11:26.

shelved for five years. Still to come tonight.

:11:26.:11:29.

The idea of using tolls from the Severn crossings to pay for an M4

:11:29.:11:32.

relief road - why there's opposition from some business leaders.

:11:32.:11:35.

And even an appearance by Gareth Bale couldn't save Wales against

:11:35.:11:39.

Serbia. Now questions over the future of the Manager.

:11:39.:11:43.

The practice of blacklisting workers for union activity or raising

:11:43.:11:47.

questions about health and safety was made illegal three years ago.

:11:47.:11:54.

But unions argue it still goes on. Now, the Civil Engineering and

:11:54.:11:56.

Contractors Association and several trades unions have welcomed the

:11:56.:11:59.

Welsh Government becoming the first in the UK to help the public sector

:11:59.:12:02.

ban companies known to blacklist workers from bidding for Government

:12:03.:12:07.

contracts. Here's our economics correspondent Sarah Dickins.

:12:07.:12:16.

The early 1970s and hundreds of workers are building an advanced

:12:16.:12:21.

site. At the time, some raised fears that scaffolding was not safe. Now

:12:21.:12:26.

George James knows questioning his employers cost him years of work. He

:12:26.:12:30.

looks at the evidence that he was turned down for work as an

:12:30.:12:34.

allegation because he was on a secret blacklist, accused of being a

:12:34.:12:39.

communist. I applied for jobs but never had a reply. I never joined

:12:39.:12:44.

the commonest party or anything else. Were you a troublemaker? No, I

:12:44.:12:55.

always abided by the law. The letter has confirmed that he was one of

:12:55.:13:00.

thousands of names on the list used by the construction industry. Across

:13:01.:13:06.

Wales, there were around 100 others. Unions fear many others were

:13:06.:13:11.

also denied work on the basis of gossip. This is just part of the

:13:11.:13:16.

£4.3 billion of public money given to private companies each year in

:13:16.:13:20.

Wales, blacklisting workers. It is now illegal but the Welsh government

:13:20.:13:27.

fears it still exists. It is helping companies to ban companies who

:13:28.:13:33.

blacklist workers from bidding for work. Massive projects like this are

:13:33.:13:38.

not just very expensive, they are also very competitive. The companies

:13:38.:13:41.

that Wendy tended to build projects like this want to do it quickly and

:13:41.:13:45.

within budget. They don't want any delays. The message from the Welsh

:13:45.:13:50.

government is that any company who is known to have blacklisted workers

:13:50.:13:53.

will not be allowed to bid for projects like this. This is a strong

:13:53.:14:00.

message today from the Welsh government. Blacklisting is

:14:00.:14:04.

unacceptable, it is inappropriate, and it is illegal. Not

:14:04.:14:09.

surprisingly, trade unions have welcomed the Welsh government's

:14:09.:14:15.

action. So do some employers. Companies that may have been

:14:15.:14:18.

involved in the past will have nothing to fear in the future. They

:14:18.:14:23.

need to demonstrate how they have gone about that. The Welsh

:14:23.:14:28.

government hopes the rest of the UK will follow its lead and make

:14:28.:14:31.

blacklisting workers a thing of the past.

:14:31.:14:33.

Using the money from the tolls on the Severn crossings to finance an

:14:33.:14:37.

M4 relief road would face stiff opposition from business leaders.

:14:37.:14:40.

That's according to the Federation of Small Businesses, which says it's

:14:40.:14:43.

deeply concerned at renewed suggestions that the Westminster and

:14:43.:14:46.

Welsh Governments are discussing the proposal. But the Welsh Government

:14:46.:14:50.

says it would seek to reduce toll levels if control of the bridges was

:14:50.:14:54.

ever devolved. More from our political reporter James Williams.

:14:54.:15:00.

It is a road well travelled. The debate over what to do with the

:15:00.:15:03.

Severn Bridge tolls has rumbled on for years. Scrap them completely,

:15:03.:15:09.

reduce the cost of the Welsh government's preferred option. But

:15:09.:15:12.

what about using the money to finance a project further down the

:15:12.:15:16.

M4? Gridlock after an accident near Newport. Building a relief road has

:15:16.:15:23.

been on the cards for years. But now, with Westminster support. We

:15:23.:15:29.

will be able to say more about the impressive plans to improve the M4

:15:29.:15:34.

in south Wales. But it is not cheap. This idea of using the tolls

:15:34.:15:39.

once they revert to public ownership to fund the relief road has gained

:15:39.:15:43.

traction recently. It was first raised by the Finance Minister this

:15:43.:15:49.

summer, followed by a quick rebuttal by the first Minister. But then a

:15:49.:15:52.

key adviser in Cardiff Bay said the plans are very much on the

:15:52.:15:56.

negotiating table between the Treasury and the Welsh government.

:15:56.:15:58.

negotiating table between the It is a plan that will affect

:15:58.:16:04.

businesses. 80,000 vehicles crossed the bridge is every day. We were

:16:04.:16:14.

always hopeful that as the bridge comes back into public ownership

:16:14.:16:19.

that the tools will be reduced. With this option, it seems they will not

:16:20.:16:23.

be and it is not seem fair that they will be used to fund the new road.

:16:24.:16:30.

The Federation of small businesses agrees but believes the stand-off on

:16:30.:16:32.

this issue and be separate debate on further following -- borrowing

:16:32.:16:36.

powers is damaging the Welsh economy. Organisations in favour of

:16:36.:16:45.

resolving the issue is left in a predicament. We want to be able to

:16:45.:16:51.

fund the kind of projects going forward. Exactly what the Welsh

:16:51.:17:00.

government wants. However, one of Wales's top corporate deal-makers

:17:00.:17:03.

questioned the Welsh government's ability to manage big funding

:17:03.:17:09.

decisions. I am not convinced. We have seen recent situations where

:17:10.:17:12.

substantial government funds have been spending on infrastructure

:17:12.:17:18.

projects which begs the question of how they were appraised and whether

:17:19.:17:24.

they were sufficiently analysed. The airport springs to mind. The gap

:17:25.:17:34.

between the governments sat on either side of the M4 seems to be

:17:34.:17:36.

increasing. Prince William has done his last

:17:36.:17:39.

shift at RAF Valley on Anglesey, bringing to an end his time there as

:17:39.:17:43.

a search and rescue helicopter pilot. With his wife Catherine

:17:43.:17:46.

Duchess of Cambridge and their son Prince George, he's now due to leave

:17:46.:17:49.

the island, which has been his home for the last three and a half years.

:17:49.:17:54.

The Prince has already said how much he'll miss the place, as Roger

:17:54.:17:56.

Pinney reports. It was good while it lasted. Good

:17:56.:18:00.

according to be pundits for William and Catherine. And good according to

:18:00.:18:05.

many for Anglesey as well. They clocked up a string of Royal first.

:18:05.:18:09.

It was here that William and Catherine first appeared in public

:18:09.:18:13.

as an engaged couple. In August, William could not have appeared more

:18:13.:18:17.

relaxed as he mixed with the crowds. It was here he gave his farewell

:18:17.:18:22.

speech to the island and its people. You got a sense of the affection the

:18:22.:18:30.

couple feel for the place. I know that both of us will miss it

:18:30.:18:34.

terribly when my search and rescue two of duty comes to an end next

:18:34.:18:37.

month and we have to move neck -- elsewhere. But away from the public

:18:37.:18:43.

gaze, the couple have been able to enjoy a pretty normal life on

:18:43.:18:51.

Anglesey. Walking their dogs, using Rockall restaurants, and local

:18:51.:18:57.

supermarkets. But has there been a William and Kate affect here? At

:18:57.:19:01.

this company, they believe the couple has been good for business

:19:01.:19:05.

and tourism. They say it got the island noticed. My favourite story

:19:05.:19:11.

was that they had gone into a restaurant without booking a table

:19:11.:19:14.

and they were told there were no tables free. Could they come back

:19:14.:19:18.

later? Maybe they were not recognised. They have not had a lot

:19:18.:19:24.

of pompons and stands about them so they have blended in. And this was

:19:24.:19:30.

the reaction to today's news. The whole of North Wales is very proud

:19:30.:19:34.

of both of them. We wish them the best for the future. They have

:19:34.:19:41.

brought a focus to Anglesey. Perhaps they have never thought of Anglesey

:19:41.:19:47.

before. So they will be missed? Definitely, yes. For Prince William,

:19:47.:19:57.

it has all been about the job. He clocked up a string of rescues. And

:19:57.:20:05.

at sea, casualties. He has now left that job, but in the past hinted he

:20:05.:20:09.

would not want to say goodbye to Anglesey for good. We would not rule

:20:09.:20:15.

out having a house in Anglesey permanently. I do love it here. We

:20:15.:20:19.

will have to wait and see what our plans. So it is good by William and

:20:19.:20:25.

Catherine. But is it just for now? We saw a few minutes of Gareth Bale

:20:25.:20:29.

on the pitch at last, but after another disappointing defeat for

:20:29.:20:32.

Wales, it was the manager who ended up as the main talking point.

:20:32.:20:35.

Ashleigh's here with tonight's sport.

:20:35.:20:39.

The future of Chris Coleman was the subject that had everyone talking

:20:39.:20:42.

after another poor showing from the national team last night. The 3-0

:20:42.:20:45.

defeat against Serbia leaves Wales bottom of their World Cup qualifying

:20:45.:20:48.

group and Coleman under real pressure as he prepares to sign a

:20:48.:20:53.

new contract as manager. Sachin Krishnan reports.

:20:53.:21:05.

It is another defeat for Wales. The fans left no doubt as to what

:21:05.:21:09.

they made of it. Wales were thoroughly outclassed by Serbia. A

:21:09.:21:14.

second defeat in a week left the manager with no excuses. It is

:21:14.:21:20.

expensive to come and watch a game of football and I don't blame them

:21:20.:21:25.

for being disappointed. I don't blame them if sections are calling

:21:25.:21:30.

for my head. They come, they are expected, they want to see a

:21:30.:21:35.

performance at the very least. If we lose and we have performed, they are

:21:35.:21:39.

not going to have that reaction. They were disappointed with the

:21:39.:21:42.

performance and we are. So what of Chris Coleman's future in the job?

:21:42.:21:46.

Despite just three wins in 12 matches, he says a new contract is

:21:46.:21:49.

ready for him to sign. FAW President Trefor Lloyd Hughes told BBC Wales

:21:49.:21:59.

that nothing has been decided. Are you happy he's your man? Personally,

:21:59.:22:08.

yes. Give him the opportunity. Have we got the finances to get somebody

:22:08.:22:18.

who wants a lot of money? He has not got a lot of quality in the side. It

:22:18.:22:23.

is difficult. We know that from previous managers. They have not

:22:23.:22:27.

been able to go forward. Hopefully Chris can do that. It is a big job.

:22:27.:22:32.

It comes with an immense amount of pressure. One bright spot last night

:22:32.:22:37.

was the first football played by Gareth Bale since his record move to

:22:37.:22:41.

Real Madrid. In a cameo appearance, his huge talent was on show for all

:22:41.:22:46.

to see. While Bale is clearly committed to Wales, one man whose

:22:46.:22:49.

international future is in doubt is James Collins. Chris Coleman said he

:22:49.:22:54.

was disappointed that the West Ham defender refused a call-up to the

:22:54.:22:57.

squad for last night's match after originally being left out.

:22:57.:23:01.

Rugby bosses from around Europe say they'll keep on talking to try and

:23:01.:23:04.

save what's arguably the world's most prestigious club tournament,

:23:04.:23:09.

the Heineken Cup. They met in Dublin earlier today after England and

:23:09.:23:11.

France's top sides announced they'd withdraw from the tournament next

:23:11.:23:14.

season and set up their own competition. They're unhappy with

:23:14.:23:18.

how the money is shared around and think it's too easy for Welsh,

:23:18.:23:21.

Irish, Scottish and Italian clubs to qualify.

:23:21.:23:29.

Saving the Heineken Cup, the most important item on the agenda for top

:23:29.:23:34.

rugby officials in Dublin today. The English and French clubs want out

:23:34.:23:37.

because they say the current structure is unfair, favouring teams

:23:37.:23:41.

in the pro 12, which includes the four Welsh regions and sites from

:23:41.:23:46.

Ireland, Scotland and Italy. At the moment, all the teams from Scotland

:23:46.:23:50.

and Italy are guaranteed places in the tournament regardless of where

:23:50.:23:55.

they finish in the league. Wales and Ireland get three places each even

:23:55.:24:08.

if their teams are in the bottom half of the table. But English and

:24:08.:24:09.

French clubs have got a battle for half of the table. But English and

:24:09.:24:12.

qualification by finishing in the top positions in the domestic

:24:12.:24:14.

leagues. They say the Celtic countries and Italy should do the

:24:14.:24:16.

same. We are prepared to look at meritocratic qualification, we are

:24:16.:24:19.

prepared to look at how revenues are distributed. We are prepared to look

:24:19.:24:21.

at the timing of the competition. These are the things we need to

:24:21.:24:27.

discuss. May I add, to % of the revenues already go to the French

:24:27.:24:32.

and English clubs. It would be a major blow for Welsh regions if they

:24:32.:24:36.

stop playing England and French clubs. They are the most lucrative

:24:36.:24:41.

and exciting games of the season. I can't believe it will come to that

:24:41.:24:45.

because common sense will could prevail. But the French statement

:24:45.:24:48.

yesterday said they stand full square behind England on this. They

:24:49.:24:53.

will not take part in any European opposition that is not involve the

:24:53.:24:55.

English. I think that is a real jolt opposition that is not involve the

:24:55.:25:00.

to the Welsh Rugby Union, the Irish Rugby union and the Scottish Rugby

:25:00.:25:07.

union. Tonight, a board said they were going to do talking until they

:25:07.:25:10.

find a solution but it is anyone's guest whether they will be a

:25:10.:25:13.

European Rugby Cop division next season.

:25:13.:25:17.

Let's get the weather forecast now. Here's Derek.

:25:17.:25:20.

All change today with some rain. Feeling quite cool as well. There is

:25:20.:25:29.

more rain and drizzle on the way but I can promise some dry weather as

:25:29.:25:34.

well. This evening, rain will clear southwards, so drier overnight. Just

:25:34.:25:39.

the odd spot of drizzle and, if you're travelling, watch out for

:25:39.:25:43.

mist and fog patches. Milder than last night. Lowest temperatures

:25:43.:25:49.

around ten to 14 Celsius. 15 in Pembrokeshire. Here's the picture

:25:49.:25:56.

for eight in the morning. A grey, cloudy but dry start for most of the

:25:56.:26:02.

country. Misty in places too with fog patches. Brighter in parts of

:26:02.:26:11.

the east. Thicker cloud in the west with spots of drizzle. Most places

:26:11.:26:17.

dry for a while tomorrow. You may even see a glimpse of sunshine but

:26:17.:26:20.

more rain and drizzle will spread from the west during the afternoon.

:26:20.:26:23.

In Monmouthshire tomorrow, a dry morning. Misty in places. In

:26:23.:26:29.

Ceredigion, cloudy tomorrow. Dry for a time in the morning but wetter in

:26:29.:26:32.

the afternoon. The temperature in Lampeter rising to 17 Celsius.

:26:32.:26:35.

Tomorrow night will be cloudy with further rain and drizzle at times.

:26:35.:26:38.

Mist and hill fog. Although it should become dry in the north after

:26:38.:26:42.

midnight. Friday doesn't look as wet as it did yesterday. Having said

:26:42.:26:46.

that, there is a risk of rain in the south at least for a time. On

:26:46.:26:49.

Saturday, some uncertainty but at the moment it looks like we're in

:26:49.:26:53.

for more rain. The rain should clear during the afternoon but may stay

:26:53.:26:56.

damp until tea-time. Dry and chilly Saturday night. Sunday will start

:26:56.:27:00.

dry but then go downhill with rain. Becoming windy as well. The start of

:27:00.:27:03.

next week, colder and windy with sunshine and blustery showers. We've

:27:03.:27:06.

had some lovely sunsets and sunrises recently. How about this one from

:27:06.:27:10.

Clive Stanley-Williams in Aberdare. Red sky in the morning, shepherds'

:27:10.:27:13.

warning. Drier for a time tomorrow but there is more rain and drizzle

:27:13.:27:15.

on the way. 5500 women will receive letters

:27:15.:27:25.

offering them a blood test after a health worker infected to people

:27:25.:27:31.

with Hepatitis C. The majority were treated at Caerphilly District

:27:31.:27:33.

Miners' Hospital between 1984 and 2003.

:27:33.:27:40.

That is Wales today. We will have another update at 8pm. Good evening.

:27:40.:27:42.
