:00:00. > :00:08.details throughout the evening. Thank you very much.
:00:09. > :00:12.Council budgets across the country are cut. Services are on the line as
:00:13. > :00:15.some local authorities face a reduction of nearly five per cent.
:00:16. > :00:24.Tonight, the Welsh Government gives the strongest indication yet, that
:00:25. > :00:27.we'll all pay the price. I am expecting council tax to go up
:00:28. > :00:40.and I think the Public Health Wales would expect council tax to go up.
:00:41. > :00:45.Also tonight: The Chief Medical Officer for Wales calls for an end
:00:46. > :00:52.to the postcode lottery for cancer drugs.
:00:53. > :00:55.Patients do trust that people are doing the best for them, that
:00:56. > :00:59.politicians are doing the best for them and they will be treated
:01:00. > :01:03.fairly. I now have evidence that there is no fair treatment in Wales.
:01:04. > :01:06.Arrested and charged with piracy after trying to scale an oil rig.
:01:07. > :01:09.The Welsh Greenpeace activist refused bail by a Russian court.
:01:10. > :01:12.And he's our youngest ever international - why this appearance
:01:13. > :01:20.means his grandfather can now retire.
:01:21. > :01:26.Good evening. Councils across Wales might have to cut services to save
:01:27. > :01:29.money. Today, local authorities have been told exactly how much funding
:01:30. > :01:34.they'll have to run services like schools, libraries, leisure centres
:01:35. > :01:38.and parks. Some will be hit harder than others. Denbighshire, Powys and
:01:39. > :01:43.Ceredigion will all have 4.6 per cent less money to spend next year.
:01:44. > :01:52.While Newport and Merthyr Tydfil face smaller cuts. Our economics
:01:53. > :01:55.correspondent Sarah Dickins looks now at how councils are finding ways
:01:56. > :02:01.of working differently to make their money go further.
:02:02. > :02:07.This could be a vision of the future. Perhaps all tennis and other
:02:08. > :02:11.services. It is run by volunteers since Swansea Council handed it
:02:12. > :02:16.over. They have both been winners. It has saved the council ?120,000 a
:02:17. > :02:21.year and volunteers have turned around the centre's fortunes. It
:02:22. > :02:26.isn't something to be taken lightly but I think if the council can find
:02:27. > :02:30.volunteers in people who are prepared to put in the hours, it
:02:31. > :02:33.works. That kind of community role may be
:02:34. > :02:39.something we see more of in Wales when the announced cuts take effect.
:02:40. > :02:45.Councils have known for months that cuts are on the way and they have
:02:46. > :02:49.discussed priorities. Now they have to make decisions. They know change
:02:50. > :02:56.is inevitable and some have already found different ways of working.
:02:57. > :02:59.This is the first time we have done thing like this regarding the
:03:00. > :03:03.budget. These Monmouth residents have come together to tell their
:03:04. > :03:08.council houses in the cost should be cut.
:03:09. > :03:11.How can we spend limited resources putting in place what we think
:03:12. > :03:17.people will want without knowing what they want? Today Monmouthshire
:03:18. > :03:25.has heard it is facing one of the biggest levels of cuts- 4.4%.
:03:26. > :03:29.Would you be prepared to see your council tax go up to cope with this
:03:30. > :03:34.or do we need a more radical think, do you think?
:03:35. > :03:38.In my case I think I could afford to pay the council tax but some people
:03:39. > :03:44.can't. The services we have at the moment should be capped.
:03:45. > :03:48.The recycling trolleys here are a practical result of consultation.
:03:49. > :03:53.The council asked what would make things easier to recycle and the
:03:54. > :03:58.council is now making money from what goes into the trolleys.
:03:59. > :04:02.This scheme with the trolley box is from the idea of the residents. They
:04:03. > :04:06.have said they wanted to be made easier and they the boxes to be
:04:07. > :04:12.easily handled and that is what we have done. Enrich the last place in
:04:13. > :04:15.Wales to change from weekly to fortnightly bin collections and it
:04:16. > :04:19.has looked to other councils on advice on how to change.
:04:20. > :04:25.I am grateful to my colleagues in other authorities that have shared
:04:26. > :04:30.with us there experiences. We have learnt from what they have been
:04:31. > :04:33.through. The challenge for all communities is how to cope with the
:04:34. > :04:35.cuts. It may mean things being run
:04:36. > :04:41.differently or by different people but some services may be cut, like
:04:42. > :04:44.toilets in Ambridge. Cancel proposals include closing seven and
:04:45. > :04:54.getting a private company to run 65 others. It will save the council
:04:55. > :05:02.have ?1 million. -- half ?1 million. I think people need amenities.
:05:03. > :05:07.I think it is disgusting because where our visitors to the town going
:05:08. > :05:12.to go smack I think that is bad really, isn't it?
:05:13. > :05:14.You have got to have somewhere. There are many ideas about the way
:05:15. > :05:23.forward, from getting together to keep your club going to setting up a
:05:24. > :05:26.literary. -- lottery. Council now know what they have to work with and
:05:27. > :05:30.will have to start making difficult decisions. What we expect from our
:05:31. > :05:34.councils is likely to looks different by the end of the decade.
:05:35. > :05:37.Councils do raise much of their funds for services through the
:05:38. > :05:40.council tax we pay. And we've heard the strongest indication so far from
:05:41. > :05:47.the Welsh government this evening that bills could rise in the years
:05:48. > :05:50.to come. The local government minister Lesley Griffiths has been
:05:51. > :05:53.speaking to our political editor Nick Servini who joins me now.
:05:54. > :05:56.What did the Minister have to say? Lesley Griffiths wrote to the local
:05:57. > :06:00.authorities telling them to expect English style reductions.
:06:01. > :06:06.She said tonight they were nowhere near as bad as some of the cuts in
:06:07. > :06:09.English councils that they have had three years to prepare for this and
:06:10. > :06:14.as a result, they need to take the public with them with any changes
:06:15. > :06:17.that will be introduced. One of the critical point that is what they
:06:18. > :06:25.will decide to do about council tax rises. She could cap any council tax
:06:26. > :06:29.increases if she wants to. It will be up to the local authorities what
:06:30. > :06:32.they decide to do. Last week we had the chief executive of the Welsh
:06:33. > :06:36.local government Association which represents all the councils saying
:06:37. > :06:45.it would lead to pressure on Castle tax rises and this afternoon --
:06:46. > :06:50.Castle tax rises -- council tax rises.
:06:51. > :06:54.I am expecting council tax to go up and I expect the public will think
:06:55. > :06:57.so as well for top I have a figure in my head and we will see what they
:06:58. > :07:04.come forward with. They have suggested about 3.5%.
:07:05. > :07:09.Does that seem about right to you? I would say net is probably about
:07:10. > :07:13.right but into each authority comes up with a figure, I would rather not
:07:14. > :07:18.pass comment. If we look at an increase of about
:07:19. > :07:23.3.5% on an average property that would be an increase next year of
:07:24. > :07:26.more than ?40 so just under ?4 a month.
:07:27. > :07:35.There has been some criticism of Rhondda Cynon Taf council.
:07:36. > :07:43.They describe the cat as Armageddon style -- cuts as Armageddon style. A
:07:44. > :07:48.Labour run local authority leaving the conservative coalition and as it
:07:49. > :07:51.did so, it announced plans to close more than half of its libraries and
:07:52. > :07:57.day centres. It was interesting that a Labour minister at the Assembly,
:07:58. > :08:03.Lesley Griffiths, in effect slapped them down for this from what she
:08:04. > :08:08.said was an over the top use of language. The cancel tonight said
:08:09. > :08:17.the cuts are even worse than they envisaged -- the cancel tonight. One
:08:18. > :08:26.of the questions is who is going to be blamed for these cuts? Rhondda
:08:27. > :08:29.Cynon Taf council want the blame to lie with the Conservatives but
:08:30. > :08:32.others will place the blame closer to home. You can find the details of
:08:33. > :08:38.each council's budget on our website.
:08:39. > :08:43.The Chief Medical Officer for Wales is warning tonight that access to
:08:44. > :08:46.cancer drugs in Wales needs to be more consistent. Ruth Hussey's
:08:47. > :08:49.comments following a BBC investigation which found that the
:08:50. > :08:53.type of cancer drug you're given depends on where you live. Helen
:08:54. > :08:56.Callahan has been speaking to two patients in neighbouring health
:08:57. > :09:05.boards who have had very different experiences.
:09:06. > :09:11.These friends were diagnosed with the same advanced ovarian cancer but
:09:12. > :09:16.their NHS experience here in Wales couldn't have been more different.
:09:17. > :09:22.Gene from Neath was given a drug that Annie from Cardiff was not.
:09:23. > :09:27.I feel I am lucky being this health authority because they are finding
:09:28. > :09:31.it for us that when I see a friend of mine who can't get it, I feel
:09:32. > :09:35.quite cross about that. I feel it is a postcode lottery. When I was
:09:36. > :09:40.diagnosed with cancer, I didn't understand all of this and patients
:09:41. > :09:43.do trust that people are doing the best for them, that politicians are
:09:44. > :09:48.doing the best for them and they will be treated fairly.
:09:49. > :09:51.This drug is not normally available on the NHS because it is judged to
:09:52. > :09:55.be too expensive but patients can get this and other drugs like it by
:09:56. > :09:59.making an individual patient funding request.
:10:00. > :10:03.They have to convince a panel in their health board area that their
:10:04. > :10:10.case is exceptional. All seven panels in Wales follow the same
:10:11. > :10:15.guidelines but some panels are more likely to say no than others.
:10:16. > :10:18.Our exclusive figures show that there is indeed a huge variation
:10:19. > :10:25.when it comes to giving out other and approved cancer drugs. -- and
:10:26. > :10:31.approved. The Chief Medical Officer for Wales now acknowledges there are
:10:32. > :10:34.feelings. This policy was introduced as an all
:10:35. > :10:40.Wales policy and we have looked at is this year and seen that we need
:10:41. > :10:43.to make some improvement and this confirms that from a patient
:10:44. > :10:49.perspectives work is underway to do that and we must continue to develop
:10:50. > :10:54.a fair and transparent approach. These friends and others like them
:10:55. > :10:58.across Wales say a system review can't come soon enough.
:10:59. > :11:01.You can see more on this story on The Wales Report, here on BBC One
:11:02. > :11:04.Wales at 10:35pm tonight with Huw Edwards.
:11:05. > :11:08.A British solider killed while on patrol in Afghanistan has been named
:11:09. > :11:16.as Lance Corporal James Brynin of the 14th Signal Regiment, which is
:11:17. > :11:20.based in Pembrokeshire. The 22-year-old from West Sussex was on
:11:21. > :11:29.his second tour to Afghanistan as an intelligence analyst when he died in
:11:30. > :11:32.Helmand Province on Tuesday. The First Minister has warned that
:11:33. > :11:35.major road projects, like the M4 relief road, could be delayed by the
:11:36. > :11:38.UK government's delay in granting the Welsh Government borrowing
:11:39. > :11:41.powers. Carwyn Jones was speaking in Downing Street after meeting David
:11:42. > :11:47.Cameron and UK Cabinet ministers, who rejected his claim.
:11:48. > :11:50.Some of the major road projects will not go ahead unless we have the same
:11:51. > :11:58.powers as every other government elsewhere in the UK. The same goes
:11:59. > :12:02.if we are borrowing and it is difficult to see how we will pay for
:12:03. > :12:05.it. I would gently point out actually
:12:06. > :12:08.that it is the responsibility of the Welsh government to upgrade roads
:12:09. > :12:15.and it has been for the last 13 years. Frankly, the condition of the
:12:16. > :12:18.M4, which he is primarily concerned about, is a consequence of lack of
:12:19. > :12:22.maintenance of the last 13 years which was the responsibility of the
:12:23. > :12:25.Welsh government to carry out. A Welsh Greenpeace activist who's
:12:26. > :12:31.being held in Russia on piracy charges has been denied bail.
:12:32. > :12:34.Anthony Perrett from Newport was arrested at gunpoint along with 30
:12:35. > :12:37.other campaigners after a protest near an Arctic oil rig. Jordan
:12:38. > :12:45.Davies has more. Anthony Perrett peering behind bars
:12:46. > :12:49.in a Russian court. He and five other Britons have now spent nearly
:12:50. > :12:57.a month in this jail Russia all charged with piracy which in Russia
:12:58. > :13:04.carries a 15 year sentence. Today the judge denied him bail.
:13:05. > :13:07.I have been in Anthony's position and I was arrested in a similar
:13:08. > :13:12.position. He will be missing his family and his friends. He will know
:13:13. > :13:16.that Greenpeace are trying to get him out of there but he will be
:13:17. > :13:21.extremely concerned by the fact that he could be facing charges of up to
:13:22. > :13:27.15 years in jail for this sort of ludicrous charge of piracy.
:13:28. > :13:30.All 30 activists were detained by armed officers when they tried to
:13:31. > :13:37.tie themselves to a Russian Arctic oil rig. Greenpeace says drilling in
:13:38. > :13:45.Arctic seas is a disaster waiting to happen. Something the owners of the
:13:46. > :13:49.platform deny. The activist... Plight has been
:13:50. > :13:53.raised through demonstrations throughout the world. Anthony
:13:54. > :14:02.Perrett, a tree surgeon, joined after a stint as a town councillor
:14:03. > :14:06.in cold cart. His case has been raised by the Foreign Secretary and
:14:07. > :14:10.Welsh MPs. Today his girlfriend met officials in London. A full trial
:14:11. > :14:15.will need to take place before any sentence is passed but concern is
:14:16. > :14:18.growing for the activist now approaching their second month
:14:19. > :14:22.behind bars. Coming up on the programme - we
:14:23. > :14:25.reflect on Wales' final World Cup qualifier. After the excellent draw
:14:26. > :14:31.in Belgium - will Wales move forward with manager Chris Coleman?
:14:32. > :14:34.And following in the footsteps of royalty - a new project in Snowdonia
:14:35. > :14:37.traces the lives of Wales' medieval kings How many politicians should
:14:38. > :14:49.there be in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay? How many politicians should
:14:50. > :14:52.there be in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay? Well, according to a report
:14:53. > :14:55.published today, the 60 Assembly Members there now are over-stretched
:14:56. > :14:59.so the number should be increased to 100 at a cost of ?10 million a year.
:15:00. > :15:01.But opponents say there's little public appetite for more
:15:02. > :15:06.politicians. Our political reporter James Williams has been crunching
:15:07. > :15:11.the numbers. It was a close thing in 1997 but
:15:12. > :15:16.Wales voted yes to an Assembly with 60 members. This compares with 129
:15:17. > :15:21.politicians in the Scottish Parliament, 108 in Northern Ireland
:15:22. > :15:25.while Cardiff Council has 75 representatives. The original plan
:15:26. > :15:32.was for the Assembly to have 80 members but this number was reduced
:15:33. > :15:36.to 60 but with the Welsh Assembly having seen it powers increase since
:15:37. > :15:41.then, some say this number should be expanded to 100. When you look at
:15:42. > :15:45.the workload facing Assembly Members, they are clearly struggling
:15:46. > :15:51.to hold the Welsh government to account effectively.
:15:52. > :15:54.The Welsh government controls ?15 billion a year and is responsible
:15:55. > :16:00.for aspects of daily life in Wales and we need a strong legislature
:16:01. > :16:04.holding them to account and it looks like 60 is not enough. What does it
:16:05. > :16:09.entail? When they are not attending to
:16:10. > :16:19.constituency business, they spend around 30 weeks a year in the
:16:20. > :16:25.Assembly and pick up ?53,000 a year unless they join any other
:16:26. > :16:30.committees. I am a member of a couple of committees and I sit on
:16:31. > :16:41.enemies. I sit on three committees. I speak
:16:42. > :16:47.on to committees. The report argues that as every
:16:48. > :16:50.members are overstretched. Plaid Cymru and the Liberal
:16:51. > :16:56.Democrats agree more Assembly Members are needed but Labour says
:16:57. > :17:02.it is premature to speculate. Conservatives disagree. What the
:17:03. > :17:06.public are telling me is they want politics to come cheaper and what
:17:07. > :17:10.they want is good governance. We need to make sure that we connect
:17:11. > :17:13.with the electorate and we stand up to the issues that concern our
:17:14. > :17:20.communities and ultimately deliver improvements in Wales. At a cost of
:17:21. > :17:25.?10 million a year, this may be something the public does not wish
:17:26. > :17:30.to answer at this time of austerity but if devolution is a process, it
:17:31. > :17:33.is a question which may need answering in the years to come.
:17:34. > :17:36.So Wales ended their World Cup campaign on a high out in Belgium.
:17:37. > :17:38.But where now for manager Chris Coleman? Ashleigh's here with
:17:39. > :17:41.tonight's sport. Chris Coleman says he won't rush
:17:42. > :17:44.into a decision about his future despite last night's excellent draw
:17:45. > :17:48.against Belgium - a team who tipped to do well at next year's World Cup.
:17:49. > :17:51.Aaron Ramsey's late equaliser has certainly helped Coleman's cause and
:17:52. > :18:02.tonight, one former international told me that the FAW "would be mad"
:18:03. > :18:06.not to offer him a new deal. The clock is ticking on Chris
:18:07. > :18:09.Coleman's Wales contract as it runs at next month. He had asked his
:18:10. > :18:17.bosses not to judge him on the final two games but as it happens, they
:18:18. > :18:19.went rather well. Last night's draw in Belgium meant the campaign
:18:20. > :18:26.finished more strongly than it started. He says he is undecided
:18:27. > :18:31.about carrying on but others argue continuity is vital. They would be
:18:32. > :18:35.mad not to offer Chris is a new deal.
:18:36. > :18:38.Whether Chris accepts that, it is down to Chris Coleman. I think the
:18:39. > :18:43.last two games have been very encouraging. They have shown me that
:18:44. > :18:47.the players want to play for Chris. We have had some frustrating results
:18:48. > :18:50.and inconsistent performances and I think that goes because we haven't
:18:51. > :18:56.had our best payers playing all the time. It is debatable whether fifth
:18:57. > :19:01.place in the group represents progress.
:19:02. > :19:07.The football Association Wales will now have to decide whether to offer
:19:08. > :19:11.Chris Coleman another campaign. There is a better chance of us
:19:12. > :19:14.qualifying now. We have to give him another go.
:19:15. > :19:18.I think Wales should have patience with him because we have not had the
:19:19. > :19:22.easiest group. I don't think there is anyone else for the job so it is
:19:23. > :19:27.a tricky one. The World Cup campaign has had it
:19:28. > :19:31.moments but maybe too few as injuries hit the squad. That is
:19:32. > :19:34.something no international manager can control.
:19:35. > :19:37.Coleman also made a bit of history last night, sending on Liverpool
:19:38. > :19:40.winger Harry Wilson, aged 16 years and 207 days, to become our youngest
:19:41. > :19:44.full international - taking the record off a certain Gareth Bale. Of
:19:45. > :19:48.course, it was a special evening for Harry's family, but especially his
:19:49. > :19:51.granddad, who now says he can retire after collecting the winnings from a
:19:52. > :20:01.?50 bet he'd placed on his grandson when he was just a toddler. Matt
:20:02. > :20:06.Murray's been to meet him. Peter Edwards is a proud
:20:07. > :20:11.grandfather. He always knew his grandson would be good enough to pay
:20:12. > :20:15.professionally and he placed a bet that in the year 2000 when he was
:20:16. > :20:19.just a toddler. Peter walked into the bookmakers and wondered what he
:20:20. > :20:24.could get unhappy one day playing for Wales.
:20:25. > :20:35.What odds will you give me for a pet and I thought to myself, if I could
:20:36. > :20:39.get 1000 /1 I would take it. They offered me 2500/1 and I took it.
:20:40. > :20:46.His grandfather was watching in a caravan when Harry made his debut.
:20:47. > :20:52.He came onto the pitch as the youngest player in Welsh history,
:20:53. > :20:59.beating Gareth Bale I100 eight days. -- 108 days.
:21:00. > :21:03.I intend to work another year. I will be 63 this Christmas. I was
:21:04. > :21:09.going to finish at 64 but because of that, I finished this morning. What
:21:10. > :21:15.are we talking? ?100,000?
:21:16. > :21:22.More. ?150,000? The figure is around
:21:23. > :21:30.?125,000. Today his family are just proud. Tell me what it is like? He
:21:31. > :21:34.used to play football in here with me.
:21:35. > :21:40.He would kick a ball until he was about two years old when he broke
:21:41. > :21:45.the lights. They were shattered. My husband was working and I had to get
:21:46. > :21:49.somebody in to fix it temporarily until he came home. We allowed him
:21:50. > :21:55.to have a balloon after that is a safer option.
:21:56. > :21:59.How many times did you replace the lights? Three times.
:22:00. > :22:05.The youngster had been at football since he was eight.
:22:06. > :22:10.Last night's appearance means Harry will not be able to play for England
:22:11. > :22:13.in future if they show an interest. His grandparents will now be
:22:14. > :22:20.watching him every step of the way that he will be driving two games
:22:21. > :22:23.now in a new Jaguar. Independent auditors say they can't
:22:24. > :22:28.rule out fraud after examining the accounts of the Welsh amateur boxing
:22:29. > :22:32.Association. The firm say they cannot account for her 30% of the
:22:33. > :22:36.income over a three year period was spent. They described the
:22:37. > :22:41.organisation is not fit for purpose and recommend it changes before they
:22:42. > :22:52.can receive any more public money. Last year they receive grants of up
:22:53. > :22:55.to ?200,000 for. And this rugby club is only just getting back on its
:22:56. > :23:02.feet after a fire destroyed part of its clubhouse but now these have
:23:03. > :23:06.broken in and stolen rugby shirts donated by Rob Howley.
:23:07. > :23:14.It is the third robbery at the club in three days.
:23:15. > :23:17.That is to night's sport. Visitors to Snowdonia are being
:23:18. > :23:20.encouraged to follow in the footsteps of royalty. The Princes of
:23:21. > :23:23.Gwynedd project has linked 30 sites which played a significant role in
:23:24. > :23:26.the lives of Wales' medieval monarchy. From Conwy to Criccieth
:23:27. > :23:31.walkers and cyclists can follow the rise and fall of the dynasty which
:23:32. > :23:35.shaped the nation. Their names may not be as familiar
:23:36. > :23:38.as they once were, but Llywelyn the Great united more of Wales than
:23:39. > :23:41.anyone had before. His grandson Llywelyn the Last came to a sticky
:23:42. > :23:49.end near Builth Wells resisting Edward First's army in 1282. To keep
:23:50. > :23:51.their legacy alive for the 21st century Conwy and Gwynedd council
:23:52. > :24:00.together with Cadw the historic monuments body put their thinking
:24:01. > :24:04.caps on. It is our heritage and it mustn't be
:24:05. > :24:11.forgotten and unless we do this sort of project a couple of generations
:24:12. > :24:16.down the line, the heritage will be dilutive even further so it is
:24:17. > :24:22.important to keep it alive and explain it and that people
:24:23. > :24:24.understand where we have come from. They've created routes linking 30
:24:25. > :24:28.locations across Snowdonia which played big parts in the lives of the
:24:29. > :24:34.Princes of Gwynedd and the legends which surround them.
:24:35. > :24:39.It is not doing it in an academic or overly sadistic way. A lot of sexes
:24:40. > :24:47.can engage with it. That is the point. If you are looking for a week
:24:48. > :24:52.of following the story -- a knot of sectors can engage with it.
:24:53. > :24:55.As well as bringing in an extra 12,000 visitors to Snowdonia over
:24:56. > :25:01.the next year, the project should refresh an often neglected part of
:25:02. > :25:06.our past. Quite a few schools go back as far
:25:07. > :25:09.as the Tudors and the Romans and there is nothing in between but it
:25:10. > :25:13.is an important part in Welsh history because it is the formation
:25:14. > :25:17.of Wales and where are legend originate.
:25:18. > :25:22.The groups behind this project hope that this will become a well trodden
:25:23. > :25:24.path as we learn more about these princes. Way markers and
:25:25. > :25:27.interpretation boards are dotted throughout incredible scenery to
:25:28. > :25:30.paint a vivid picture of the princes and the principality they left
:25:31. > :25:34.behind. Well, I think you may need your wet
:25:35. > :25:38.weather gear if you're thinking of heading to any of those sites over
:25:39. > :25:43.the next few days. Quite a bit of rain about, Benny?
:25:44. > :25:49.We are expecting heavy rain for the weekend and Friday but this evening
:25:50. > :25:56.is not bad. The milder night compared to the last few nights. A
:25:57. > :26:00.few showers to deal with and quite a bit of cloud around. Quite breezy
:26:01. > :26:05.but not as windy as it was today. A mild night temperatures in double
:26:06. > :26:12.figures. High-pressure just about taking charge through tomorrow just
:26:13. > :26:15.for the day, taking things fairly quietly but low pressure is not far
:26:16. > :26:20.away with wet and windy conditions as we go in to Friday. First in
:26:21. > :26:26.tomorrow morning it is easy but at least we have some brightness to
:26:27. > :26:29.look forward to. A few showers batted around that many of us
:26:30. > :26:36.getting away with a Friday and feeling pleasant with highs of 17
:26:37. > :26:41.Celsius in Cardiff. As we go into tomorrow evening, the showers will
:26:42. > :26:45.fizzle out and we will see low-level cloud with mist and fog into early
:26:46. > :26:48.hours of Friday morning. Temperatures should remain in double
:26:49. > :26:54.figures and then into Friday morning, that rain will push its way
:26:55. > :26:59.in from the south-west and Anthony the cloud and rain it won't feel as
:27:00. > :27:07.pleasant. -- Anthony cloud and rain. It will be slow to clear. A
:27:08. > :27:09.miserable day on Friday but over the weekend a mixture of sunshine and
:27:10. > :27:18.showers and breezy at times. Councils across Wales might have to
:27:19. > :27:22.cut services to save money. Local authorities have beans told how much
:27:23. > :27:29.funding they will have to run services like schools, libraries and
:27:30. > :27:30.leisure centres. Some will get 4% less from the Welsh government next
:27:31. > :27:34.year. We'll have an update at 8:00pm, more
:27:35. > :27:38.news at 10:25pm. For now though from all of us on the programme, thanks
:27:39. > :27:40.for watching. Have a good evening.
