That is all from the BBC's news at six, so it is goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Parents protest over a | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
council's plans to cut back on nursery services for | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
three-year-olds. 10,000 sign a petition against the move. Enough is | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
enough and they need to find the savings elsewhere. I think it's | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
shocking. In neighbouring Bridgend, they're | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
trying to protect nursery education, but at what cost for schools? | :00:34. | :00:48. | |
Also tonight: The five-year-old at the centre of a custody battle. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Members of her family jailed for refusing to reveal her whereabouts. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
A new flu vaccine for two and three-year-olds. Doctors say it | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
could ease the pressure on the NHS this winter. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Setting fires, wrecking junk, running riot. The pioneering | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
playground that's now attracting interest from the States. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
And rugby star Sam Warburton launches the Poppy Appeal, helping | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
the armed forces community and those who've lost loved ones. He was fun | :01:16. | :01:29. | |
loving and hard-working. Good evening. In the past hour, | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
angry parents have been protesting against cuts to nursery services in | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
Rhondda Cynon Taf. The council there wants to withdraw full-time nursery | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
places for three-year-olds. Instead, children would start full school | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
days after they turn four as in many other council areas. It comes as all | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
22 local authorities grapple with how to balance the books after their | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
budgets for next year were cut. Our political reporter Daniel Davies has | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
the latest. You can't avoid these cuts. Councils | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
are doing it too. This three-year old has a full-time place at nursery | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
but she were looted next April if the cuts proposed by the council | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
go-ahead. I am really concerned about the effect it might have on | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
her. With their condition, I have had to reduce my hours in work and | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
that was not easy. I am concerned that if they do come in I will have | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
to reduce my hours again, which will come easy and we are going to go the | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
pocket. We won't have any money for childcare. The mother is not the | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
only one worried. It inside us their fears and their plans to fight cuts | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
at meetings like this across Rhondda Cynon Taff. This is the result. A | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
protest outside a full council meeting tonight. At the moment these | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
families can send their children to nursery full-time when they are | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
three is old. The council cut would delay that until the September after | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
the turn four. The children out very limited opportunities. We are the | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
second most deprived area in Wales. The full-time education is the way | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
around that. There aren't enough provisions in yearly at the moment. | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
I would withhold my council tax. I would withhold his nursery fees as | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
well. I pay the council over ?1000 a month. If they can't go to Italy | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
before his five, they will get extra money off me. It would save ?4.5 | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
million and the council is considering cuts with ?56 million in | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
all. Libraries would close two. Carmarthenshire Council talking | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
about cutting a total of ?30 million from its budget. In Powys they want | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
to save almost ?1 million by handing over responsibility for public | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
toilets. We have no choice. We have to look at all areas of spending. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Nursery education is one of those. We fulfil our statutory obligations | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
but where we provide over and above statutory education we have to look | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
at it. Rhondda Cynon Taff blames the cuts on the austerities drive. So | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
far councils have been shielded from the worst of it but that has | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
changed. In one part of Wales this is what they think about it. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Daniel joins me now. Well, that's what's happening in Rhondda Cynon | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Taf, but nurseries are under the spotlight in the neighbouring county | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
too. What's happening there? This is Bridgend local council. It is a | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Labour lead counsel. The local council of the first Minister Carwyn | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
Jones. Bridgend wants to say ?1.5 million from its budget for nursery | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
services. The level of service berries around Wales. Bridgend | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
thinks it can keep it as it is and it wants to take many that is set | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
aside for schools and spend it on nursery services. A potential | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
problem is that Welsh Government has said that schools funding will be | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
protected from all these cuts we are seeing. It is politically very | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
important pledge for the first Minister. Bridgend council has been | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
told there are a couple of risks. Teachers may not like many spent in | :05:33. | :05:40. | |
this way but that is a risk that the policy may not comply with Welsh | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
Government policy on school funding. What does Bridgend council say about | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
this? We've had a statement saying it is trying to keep the current | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
level of nursery provision in the county and they believe they have | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
found a way of doing that without breaching Welsh Government policy. | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
That is why they are organising a consultation which will go to the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
public soon. The Conservatives are claiming this is a big embarrassing | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
the first Minister. It is happening in his backyard. Thank you very | :06:07. | :06:18. | |
much. The grandparents and aunty of a | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
five-year-old girl, missing with her mother for nearly two years after a | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
custody battle, were sentenced to 12 days in jail this morning for | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
failing to reveal their whereabouts. But the couple who live near Cardiff | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
and their daughter walked free after the High Court hearing because | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
they'd already spent the required time in prison on remand. The court | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
was told that their granddaughter has now been found in Russia. | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Caroline Evans reports. Missing for nearly two years. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
49-year-old Jacqueline Davies and her daughter Alice, said today to be | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
in Russia. The little girl is said to be safe and well with her mother | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
and the two are expected back in the UK next week. Outside the High Court | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
in London her father said he was now looking forward to seeing his | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
daughter at last. The relief is phenomenal. We can start working | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
towards becoming a family again. But this is a family saga which has seen | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
the grandparents both jailed for contempt of court. The judge said | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
they had lied when asked for information about the whereabouts of | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
the little girl. The couple were sentenced to 12 days in prison but | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
released immediately cause of the time spent behind bars waiting for | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
today's hearing. I am glad they never sent the grandparents down. I | :07:42. | :07:53. | |
don't think it deserved that. You can't go to the courts of justice | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
and lie and get away with it. It's not clear how or why their daughter | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
and granddaughter ended up in Russia. It's understood they were | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
found as the result of publicity about the case on the Internet. But | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
a family lawyer says it's rare for a judge to use his powers to jail in | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
this way. It is very much a last resort because the courts give the | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
mother every opportunity to respond. She has family in this country, she | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
must have been aware of what was going on. She must have been aware | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
of the implications. But because it is not frequently used, she probably | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
thought that parents would not be committed to prison. So far this | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
evening the Davies family have not returned back to their home and | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
little is known locally of the couple. People say they keep | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
themselves to themselves. A judge has already ruled that Alice should | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
have contact with her father. Her mother is now expected to appear | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
before the High Court in Birmingham next Tuesday. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
A new plan to help improve diagnosis of neurological conditions like | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Parkinson's disease and epilepsy has been published by the Welsh | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Government. More than half a million people here are affected. The plan | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
highlights six areas that need to be addressed, including raising | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
awareness of conditions and targeting research. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
The Welsh Ambulance Service has missed its target response time for | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
the most urgent cases for the 16th month in a row, despite | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
improvements. 63% of ambulances arrived on time in September, up one | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
percent on August but short of the 65% target. The Ambulance Service | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
says it's introduced changes to improve responses. | :09:30. | :09:39. | |
An inspection has found a shortage of trained custody officers in the | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
Dyfed-Powys Police area is putting people in cells at risk. A joint | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
report from the Chief Inspector of Prisons and Inspector of | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Constabulary said that just three inspectors oversee custody and they | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
were often distracted from that by other responsibilities. The force | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
says it's already making improvements. | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
The British Medical Association in Wales says a new flu vaccine for | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
children as young as two and three could help the strain on the NHS | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
over the winter. All children up to 16 could soon be vaccinated every | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
year as part of a new strategy by Public Health Wales. Until now, | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
people only 65 and over or with an underlying condition are offered the | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
vaccine on the NHS. Paul Heaney has more. | :10:21. | :10:30. | |
This is the new way of delivering the flu vaccine. For the first | :10:31. | :10:41. | |
time, two and three roles are getting routine protection against | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
the flu. -- two and three-year-olds. It's important to | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
protect the community as a whole. I'm at an age where I can have a flu | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
jab and it's important in people have it as well. The aim is to get | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
all children vaccinated every year. The BMA say that could help the NHS | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
during a busy winter. This is one of the biggest causes of access to | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
hospital in the winter time. Individuals will benefit by not | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
getting sick but also the NHS does benefit and obviously that benefits | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
us all. Different strains like swine flu are amongst the most dangerous | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
but all flu viruses can spread easily. One in ten children get it | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
every year. Each winter 50 healthy children die in the UK. The nasal | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
spray is cheaper than the old-fashioned jab so it's no | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
cost-effective for more children to have it. We are vaccinating children | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
and we are not only protecting them from flu, but also it has a wider | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
benefit on their family and other children at school. Children aged 11 | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
and 12 are also included in this pilot Roger and they will get the | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
vaccine in school. -- this pilot project. It is always easier to add | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
something onto it and doing something from scratch. That exists | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
already in young children and we have an active programme and | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
increasingly we are offering more in the musician through school health | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
services. -- more immunisation. Public Health Wales says it | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
understands concerns about more vaccines being given to children but | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
says immunisation is not harmful while flu can be deadly. | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Still to come in the programme: It's a symbol of courage and sacrifice. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
The Poppy Appeal is launched with the help of Wales rugby star Sam | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Warburton. And it's a popular Olympic sport in | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
Europe. Handball is causing yet another Swansea Cardiff rivalry. | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
A pioneering playground made out of junk in Wrexham could inspire | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
identical schemes across America. The Land, on the Plas Madoc estate, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
allows youngsters to create or destroy the environment around them | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
with minimal adult interference. It's attracted the attention of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
specialists in the States who want to copy the idea. | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
To adults, it looks like a wasteland. But for kids, it's a | :13:33. | :13:53. | |
wonderland. Ellie and her friends come here whenever they can to | :13:54. | :14:07. | |
swing, slide or smash things up. Is it a good place to unwind? Yes. I | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
can't do this at home. This waste ground was turned into the Land last | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
year with recycled and donated materials. On one of Wales' most | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
economically deprived estates, it's been a big success. I think that a | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
lot of playful behaviour can sometimes be perceived as | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
anti-social behaviour and this provides a space which older can and | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
destroyed if they've had a bad day, they can let it out. Joan Almon and | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
Janice O'Donnell are champions of children's play from America. It | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
only has four adventure playgrounds and they want to introduce parks | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
like this across the states. We would love to see play valued more | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
in the US and by that we mean this kind of free play where it is the | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
children's choice, not somebody saying line-up and throw the ball. | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Adventure playgrounds Dexter that kind of activity. -- dead for that | :15:03. | :15:10. | |
kind. With health and safety legislation now so prevalent it's | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
perhaps surprising that a playground like this is being seen as a model. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Not according to some. Sometimes children will take chances but in | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
the boundary of what they think they can do. All of these are different | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
kinds of way that children need to be versatile human beings. | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
Increasingly we see children narrowed down. They are not given | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
the chance to be children. The experts seem to agree to. If Janice | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
Ann Jones like what they see they could take the ethos and transported | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
from the land of Song to the land of the free. | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
The construction of one of Europe's biggest off-shore wind farms, eight | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
miles off the North Wales coast, is on target to be completed next year. | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
The Gwynt y Mor development will generate enough energy to power the | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
equivalent of around 400,000 homes. Work to install 160 wind turbines | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
has been speeded-up by warm weather over the summer. | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
A number of Welsh recipients have received honours at Buckingham | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
Palace, including one of Wales' richest men, the venture capitalist | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Michael Moritz. Also meeting the Queen has been the conductor Tim | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
Rhys Evans. The music director of the choirs Only Men Aloud and Only | :16:23. | :16:36. | |
Boys Aloud received an MBE. Time for tonight's sport now, and a | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
return to the ring for our top boxer. Ashleigh's got the details. | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Thanks, Lucy. Nathan Cleverly will make his comeback next month at a | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
new weight. The former light-heavyweight world champion | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
from Cefn Fforest is stepping-up to cruiserweight, to fight Australian | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Daniel Ammann for the vacant Commonwealth title in London on the | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
30th of November. Cleverly lost his world title to Russia's Sergey | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
Kovalev in August. In ice-hockey, the Cardiff Devils' | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
managing director will also coach the club until the end of the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
season. Former player Brent Pope will take over from Gerad Adams, | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
after he was relieved of his duties as both player and coach. He'll now | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
see-out the remaining six months of his contract in a development role. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
The Devils are currently ninth out of ten teams in the Elite league. | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
It's time to brace yourself for a week of serious sporting rivalry. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
Cardiff City and Swansea City meet in the Premier League for the first | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
time on Sunday. But the battle for bragging rights between our two | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
biggest cities isn't confined to just football. Take the Olympic | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
sport of handball, for example, where the clash between Cardiff and | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
Swansea is also keenly awaited every year. The strictly neutral Sachin | :17:47. | :17:56. | |
Krishnan went along to watch. The rivalry is friendlier, the pace | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
a little less frantic, but the commitment very much reflects a | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
sporting meeting between Swansea and Cardiff. Handball is one of the most | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
populous sports in mainland Europe, played from Germany to Iceland, from | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Denmark to Croatia. Here it is just played by a handful of teams. | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
Cardiff was established in 2008 and their cosmopolitan team playing one | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
of the UK leagues. We rely on awful lot on volunteers. Exposure to | :18:30. | :18:40. | |
handball for most people comes from the Olympics every four years. | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
London 2012 was the inspiration for the husband and wife who formed | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
Swansea handball last year. We were working as a games maker in the | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
London Olympics. I got a text of Matthew saying I have been watching | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
the handball and we should set up a club. We set up a Facebook group to | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
find out what kind of interest they might read and we had quite a few | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
people who said they wanted to give it a go. In Wales, Aberystwyth and | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
Banda have handball teams but there is some way to go before it reaches | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
the level of participation enjoyed in the rest of Europe. -- Angola. -- | :19:21. | :19:32. | |
Banda. It is the same as rugby in Germany. It is played but I | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
foreigners in Germany. In what is probably not a precursor to the | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
Premier League meeting on Sunday, this particular South Wales derby | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
was won by Cardiff by 31 goals to nine. | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
I don't think it will be that one-sided on Sunday. And tomorrow | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
night, as part of our build-up to the South Wales football derby, | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
we'll be looking at how the rivalry between Swansea and Cardiff is | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
played out in politics and business, as well as on the sports field. | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
The Wales rugby squad say they need to beat some big southern hemisphere | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
teams this autumn if they're to mount a serious challenge at the | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
next World Cup. And they may get some inspiration from watching this | :20:11. | :20:12. | |
bit of classic archive footage. Because it was exactly 50 years ago | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
today that Newport beat the mighty All Blacks at Rodney Parade - the | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
tourists only defeat on their 1963 tour. John Uzzell's drop goal was | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
the difference, as the Black and Ambers won 3-0. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Wales captain Sam Warburton joined members of the armed forces and | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
families who've lost loved ones on the front line to launch this year's | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
poppy appeal in Wales. The Royal British Legion hopes to raise ?37 | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
million to help veterans and serving soldiers. But this year's appeal | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
focuses on families too, as Carwyn Jones reports. | :20:44. | :21:01. | |
The crucible of war. Past and present. By land, a and sea. In all | :21:02. | :21:10. | |
corners of the world. Since 1921 the Royal British Legion has adopted the | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
poppy as a symbol of remembrance. It has become the backbone of the | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
charity's fundraising efforts. At the launch of this year 's poppy | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
appeal at the Millennium Stadium, military personnel rubbed shoulders | :21:29. | :21:38. | |
with the Wales rugby squad. You go through the wars on the rugby pitch | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
but they have actually been through it. It puts it into perspective when | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
you think what they have been through. 40 million remembrance | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
poppies added sugar did this year. The money raised helps veterans as | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
well as more recent theatres of war. The Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan. | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
The Royal British Legion spends ?1.5 million each week helping the Armed | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Forces community. Even when a tour of duty comes to an end, many | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
service men and women still need support. Sometimes the effects of | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
that war only come to the fore even now. So there may be physical scars | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
or emotional and psychological scars. The Royal British Legion | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
helps the entire Armed Forces community including the families who | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
face life without their loved ones. In March 2009 Corporal Dean John was | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
killed by a roadside bomb in Helmand province. His family were at the | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
launch of this year 's appeal. He was fun. He was a big motocross fan. | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
He was fun loving and hard-working. He liked anything with mechanics. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Last year 's poppy appeal raised 35mm pounds. This year the charity | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
hopes to raise even more. It is a tradition which began 92 years ago | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
in the aftermath of the First World War. As the country prepares to mark | :23:07. | :23:14. | |
the centenary of that conflict in 2014, the poppy remains a poignant | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
symbol of courage and sacrifice. Carwyn Jones reporting. Let's get | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
the latest weather now with Derek. There's more rain and showers on the | :23:19. | :23:30. | |
way. And it looks like we're in for a very blustery weekend with strong | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
to severe gale force winds. We've all seen some rain today spreading | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
eastwards across the country this afternoon. Strengthening winds as | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
well. At Capel Curig a gust of 63mph was recorded. Tonight the rain will | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
clear with a few fog patches. So this evening rain will move away. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
The wind easing with a few mist and fog patches forming. Scattered | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
showers turning-up after midnight and not as cold as last night. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Lowest temperatures, 6C or 7C but a few spots could drop as low as 4C. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
Here's the picture for 8:00am in the morning. A few mist patches. Some | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
places dry but not everywhere. There will be showers dotted around in | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Gwynedd. A few places will see the sun | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
tomorrow but during the day showers will become more widespread. Heavy | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
in places and merging into longer spells of rain. Top temperatures, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
11C to 13C and breezy, especially on the coast. In north east Wales | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
tomorrow, some dry weather. A few showers as well. 11C in Holywell and | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
Corwen. Tomorrow evening, further showers in the south and west. Heavy | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
in places. More rain later in the north. The wind easing. So for | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Halloween tomorrow, it's a case of dodging the showers, although parts | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
of Mid Wales and the north may be dry. Friday looks wet for most of | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
Wales. Some heavy rain. Although parts of the south and south east | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
may escape the worst of it. Over the weekend, low pressure over Ireland | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
will move across Britain. Lots of isobars and that means strong winds | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
and gales. So becoming windy over the weekend. Risk of severe gales on | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
exposed coasts and hills. More rain and blustery showers as well. Not | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
ideal if you're organising a firework display. Temperatures | :25:26. | :25:27. | |
around average and feeling chilly in the wind. | :25:28. | :25:39. | |
The main news. The -- parents are protesting against cuts to nursery | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
services in Rhondda Cynon Taff. The council blames the UK government 's | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
austerity drive. The prosecution has opened its case | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
in the phone hacking trial. The former News International chief | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
executive and David Cameron's ex-spin doctor are among eight | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
defendants conspiring to intercept voice telephone messages. | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
That is it from all of us on the programme. Have a good evening. | :26:17. | :26:17. | |
Goodbye. | :26:18. | :26:21. |
