:00:00. > 3:59:59there are major concerns about the spread of disease. That is all from

:00:00. > :00:10.us. Welcome to Wales Today. Our top

:00:11. > :00:13.story. Seriously ill children and newborn

:00:14. > :00:19.babies will get treatment in North Wales after all. The First Minister

:00:20. > :00:24.over rules the local health board. There have been these announcements

:00:25. > :00:27.and then going back on them and then another consultation and nothing

:00:28. > :00:35.ever seems to come out with a clear decision on what is going to happen.

:00:36. > :00:38.Tonight announcement changes what was originally planned, so what does

:00:39. > :00:51.it mean for controversial proposals in other parts of the country?

:00:52. > :00:55.Our other headlines tonight. Small business and why Finance Wales, the

:00:56. > :00:59.organisation set up to help them, isn't working.

:01:00. > :01:04.30,000 people still haven't been vaccinated, despite our worst

:01:05. > :01:07.measles outbreak. And are we better prepared for a

:01:08. > :01:11.white winter than last year, when roads ground to a halt and hospitals

:01:12. > :01:16.filled up? If you ever wonder what it would be

:01:17. > :01:20.like to fly like a bird, now we know what gannets get up to off

:01:21. > :01:25.Pembrokeshire. Good evening. Specialist intensive

:01:26. > :01:28.care for the sickest and most premature babies in North Wales

:01:29. > :01:33.should be centralised in one hospital in the area. That's the

:01:34. > :01:38.decision made this afternoon by the First Minister Carwyn Jones. It

:01:39. > :01:41.follows a review into the controversial decision by Betsi

:01:42. > :01:53.Cadwaldr health board to transfer some care for babies across the

:01:54. > :01:58.border to England. This child is celebrating her

:01:59. > :02:03.birthday today but her parents feel lucky to have her. She was all --

:02:04. > :02:09.you was born nearly four months early. The unit would have been

:02:10. > :02:15.closed and the Betsi Cadwaladr 's plans to move neonatal care to the

:02:16. > :02:21.Wirral. Her mum says it has been a frustrating process.

:02:22. > :02:24.There have been these announcements and then going back on them and then

:02:25. > :02:27.another consultation and nothing ever seems to come out with a clear

:02:28. > :02:33.decision of what is actually going to happen. The future of neo-natal

:02:34. > :02:42.Kerry North Wales came under the spotlight following an internal

:02:43. > :02:49.review by the Betsi Cadwaladr health board.

:02:50. > :02:54.The board decided the answer was to switch services to Arrowe Park

:02:55. > :02:59.Hospital on the Wirral. That prompted an intervention by the

:03:00. > :03:04.First Minister. Carwyn Jones today plotted a way forward. Neonatal

:03:05. > :03:09.intensive care in North Wales will be centralised in one new centre, an

:03:10. > :03:14.idea which had been rejected by the Betsi Cadwaladr health board. The

:03:15. > :03:17.location will be confirmed March next year. Some premature babies

:03:18. > :03:22.will still be looked after in England, a number expected to total

:03:23. > :03:27.around ten per year. The First Minister rejected a model that would

:03:28. > :03:30.have divided all levels of neonatal care in North Wales. I will

:03:31. > :03:36.therefore be establishing an independent panel to work with the

:03:37. > :03:40.University health board to develop that as this case and to recommend

:03:41. > :03:44.to me the best site for the location of the centre, along with the

:03:45. > :03:50.invitations for the remaining sites and other services. That would mean

:03:51. > :03:56.investing in more doctors with particular interest in this area and

:03:57. > :04:00.having a system within a network that enables the very sick babies to

:04:01. > :04:05.have the right care delivered in the right place. It is an outcome which

:04:06. > :04:11.drew a lukewarm welcome from Welsh Conservatives. Why is the health

:04:12. > :04:16.service in North Wales second best once again? Why is the health

:04:17. > :04:20.service once again a one-way ticket to a Tory privatised health service

:04:21. > :04:25.in England? I think that is what people need, clarity with regard to

:04:26. > :04:32.these arrangements. I think we do need, if this is the decision, it is

:04:33. > :04:36.this confidence in the transparency of government and practical

:04:37. > :04:42.arrangements going forward. At this birthday party, mum Lucy says many

:04:43. > :04:47.questions remain unanswered. I think it means we will be going to Arrowe

:04:48. > :04:51.Park Hospital for now and then they say that there will be a plan to

:04:52. > :04:56.move back to Wales but whether or not this comes off, we are not sure.

:04:57. > :05:01.Campaigners remain to be convinced about today's announcement. It was

:05:02. > :05:03.down to a matter of trust. They don't trust the health board or the

:05:04. > :05:09.Welsh Government to deliver on promises.

:05:10. > :05:14.And that is what we have today, the promise of a new, single site centre

:05:15. > :05:18.in North Wales, although it will be able to do as much as many hoped.

:05:19. > :05:20.Some critics will feel they have not been offered the whole cake, but

:05:21. > :05:27.half of it. Let's talk to health correspondent

:05:28. > :05:30.Owain Clarke. Yes, there has been quite a bit of

:05:31. > :05:33.debate here and elsewhere this afternoon about what exactly the

:05:34. > :05:38.First Minister 's decision will actually mean for services in North

:05:39. > :05:43.Wales in the future. Some have paid tribute to the First Minister for

:05:44. > :05:45.overruling what they believed to be a clearly wrong decision by the

:05:46. > :05:50.health board. The health board suggested to me that the decision is

:05:51. > :05:58.an endorsement of their plan to treat some of the sick list babies

:05:59. > :06:02.across the border. Let's get some clarification from Carwyn Jones. How

:06:03. > :06:06.is your decision different to what the health board was planning all

:06:07. > :06:10.along? Fewer babies will have to leave Wales in the future. There

:06:11. > :06:13.will be a higher level of intensive care available to babies in the

:06:14. > :06:19.north of Wales. Did you overrule them? It was different to their

:06:20. > :06:27.plan. There have to be a change. This was an option at the Royal

:06:28. > :06:30.College came forward with. How many more babies do you think can be

:06:31. > :06:36.treated closer to home now under your plan than what the health board

:06:37. > :06:46.set up? The vast majority. We are talking about the very sick as

:06:47. > :06:48.babies. They will go to Arrowe Park Hospital, that is where they will

:06:49. > :06:52.get the best level of service. If you have a very specialised service,

:06:53. > :06:59.you need to make sure there are enough Jordan going through that

:07:00. > :07:10.service. -- enough children. That is why it is important that we have

:07:11. > :07:15.specialised centres. It would take between ten and 50

:07:16. > :07:22.years. They would be problems recruiting the staff. The staff

:07:23. > :07:27.would need sufficient experience. The objections I have heard today

:07:28. > :07:30.have been purely on the basis of able not wanting babies to go to

:07:31. > :07:37.England. We want to see the best services for people in Wales,

:07:38. > :07:43.regardless of where they live. Have you set a dangerous precedent today?

:07:44. > :07:45.No, it is very different. I intervene specifically because the

:07:46. > :07:49.suggestion was that more services would move to England. I thought it

:07:50. > :07:53.was important to look carefully at that and make sure we were happy

:07:54. > :07:57.with the level of service provided. The Royal College of Nursing they

:07:58. > :08:02.are happy and I am happy to follow their recommendations. -- the Royal

:08:03. > :08:21.Oak have said they are happy. As people in the Philippines assess

:08:22. > :08:23.the scale of the damage from the Typhoon, Filipino communities across

:08:24. > :08:27.Wales are anxiously waiting for news of loved ones back home. A mother

:08:28. > :08:30.from Wrexham, whose 14-year-old son was caught up in the devastating

:08:31. > :08:33.storm, has been trying to contact him and other relatives. Meanwhile,

:08:34. > :08:35.appeals are being made to help the relief effort.

:08:36. > :08:38.It's Christian's seventh birthday tomorrow, but instead of having a

:08:39. > :08:41.party and presents he's asked his mum and dad to send money to help

:08:42. > :08:45.his 14-year-old brother Prince who's been left homeless by the storm. He

:08:46. > :08:47.has been hit by a strong storm called a typhoon. It is the

:08:48. > :08:50.strongest storm in the world. Christian's mum has five children,

:08:51. > :08:53.but only Prince was in the village which experienced the full force of

:08:54. > :08:59.Typhoon Haiyan. Here he is describing the way his family's

:09:00. > :09:02.homes have been destroyed. His mum has only had brief contact with her

:09:03. > :09:06.sister since Friday, who said the family were alive but shaken by

:09:07. > :09:17.their ordeal. She said that whatever will happen,

:09:18. > :09:27.they are prepared. She is telling me that. I am crying because how I wish

:09:28. > :09:31.I am there. But my son needs help. There are around 300 Filipinos in

:09:32. > :09:34.Wales. Like Evelyn Morgan from Swansea they're trying to get news

:09:35. > :09:40.of their families. The agonising wait for up to date information has

:09:41. > :09:44.taken its toll. My brother in one part of the area is trying to

:09:45. > :09:51.contact but there is no communication. It is very difficult

:09:52. > :09:57.and frustrating for us. I am in this country, watching on the television.

:09:58. > :10:00.And I feel so helpless. With 10,000 people estimated to have died and

:10:01. > :10:03.millions facing food and water shortages the First Minister has

:10:04. > :10:07.echoed calls for donations to disaster relief funds. A concert in

:10:08. > :10:12.Caerphilly later this month has been planned to raise money. Aid workers

:10:13. > :10:18.are making their way to the affected areas and one expat from Bridgend is

:10:19. > :10:24.hoping to take supplies too. Yes, a lot of people in Manila are

:10:25. > :10:29.volunteering to pack goods and obviously get as much donated as

:10:30. > :10:35.possible, clothing, money, foodstuffs. Anything that can be

:10:36. > :10:39.sent. I know that major businesses are doing what they can. Just trying

:10:40. > :10:44.to get as much help as possible out there. Divina and her family will

:10:45. > :10:48.keep trying to reach Prince. She, like many outside the Philippines

:10:49. > :10:50.feeling helpless but full of hope. The Disasters Emergency Committee

:10:51. > :10:52.has launched an appeal for people affected by the typhoon in the

:10:53. > :11:30.Philippines. An organisation accused of putting

:11:31. > :11:33.the lives and homes of thousands of people at risk, is to be taken over

:11:34. > :11:35.by Natural Resources Wales. The Caldicot and Wentlooge Internal

:11:36. > :11:42.Drainage Board will be transferred in two years time, along with the

:11:43. > :11:45.boards at Powysland and Lower Wye. A senior Welsh Conservative MP has

:11:46. > :11:49.said feckless fathers should be put in chains, to make sure they

:11:50. > :11:51.contribute to the cost of raising their children. David Davies was

:11:52. > :11:55.speaking during a Commons debate on changes to housing benefit. He told

:11:56. > :11:57.the House of Commons it was outrageous that young men

:11:58. > :12:04.disappeared after getting women pregnant. It is utterly shocking and

:12:05. > :12:07.I hope that the ministers will take note of this and get hold of some of

:12:08. > :12:12.these feckless fathers, drag them off and make them work. Put them in

:12:13. > :12:26.chains if necessary and make them pay. There are claims tonight that

:12:27. > :12:29.small businesses have been ripped off by the Welsh Government's own

:12:30. > :12:32.investment bank. A highly critical report into Finance Wales says it's

:12:33. > :12:35.not fit for purpose and should be scrapped in its current form. Here's

:12:36. > :12:38.our Political Editor, Nick Servini. These are some of the comments in a

:12:39. > :12:40.damning report into Finance Wales, the closest body the country has to

:12:41. > :12:42.its own national commercial bank. Finance Wales provides money for

:12:43. > :12:46.companies by buying shares in them or lending money to them. But are

:12:47. > :12:51.the reports findings borne out in reality? This brewery is one company

:12:52. > :12:57.which agrees with the findings. The chief executive spent months trying

:12:58. > :13:02.to raise money from Finance Wales in order to expand before the deal fell

:13:03. > :13:07.through. He says one reason was the level of interest being offered on a

:13:08. > :13:15.potential loan. The current marketplace, you can borrow money at

:13:16. > :13:25.anywhere between 2.5 and 4% but this is the key issue, Finance Wales, it

:13:26. > :13:34.is 10% flat and this is the killer, repayable over five years. Another

:13:35. > :13:38.company, another story. This is a packaging company for the food

:13:39. > :13:43.industry. When the boss bought it out of administration, Finance Wales

:13:44. > :13:51.gave it the loans it needed to get started when no one else was able to

:13:52. > :13:57.help. When the business had 45 employees, it has now grown to 75,

:13:58. > :14:02.we have grown sales by 80%, we have grown exports, it now accounts for

:14:03. > :14:07.more than a quarter. Without Finance Wales, that would not have been

:14:08. > :14:12.possible. There are positive stories out there and this is clearly one of

:14:13. > :14:16.them. But there is criticism as well. Probably the most serious

:14:17. > :14:21.accusation in today's report is that you we have an organisation in

:14:22. > :14:25.effect owned by the taxpayer which has lost sight of its core purpose

:14:26. > :14:34.of helping the Welsh economy by charging too much interest on its

:14:35. > :14:38.loans to companies. The government needs to quickly consult with the

:14:39. > :14:44.business community and get them on board. And get the other opposition

:14:45. > :14:48.parties on board. There was a general consensus today that

:14:49. > :14:52.something needs to be done. Finance records defended its record saying

:14:53. > :14:56.it takes risks in a competitive market. Our interest rates are

:14:57. > :15:02.appropriate for the level of risk that we take. Losing private-sector

:15:03. > :15:13.investors, that's where we see private sector investors, they are

:15:14. > :15:20.compatible. Access to finance is crucial for the economy. Because of

:15:21. > :15:24.patient will get underway. -- a consultation will now get underway.

:15:25. > :15:27.Much more to come before 7pm. This was winter in Wales last year,

:15:28. > :15:30.roads impassible and hospitals full, are we better prepared this time

:15:31. > :15:34.round? And the life of birds captured on

:15:35. > :15:42.camera. The gannets off Pembrokeshire share their secrets.

:15:43. > :15:47.It was the largest measles outbreak in Wales since the introduction of

:15:48. > :15:50.the MMR vaccine. Now a new report has outlined key recommendations to

:15:51. > :15:54.prevent a repeat of the Swansea epidemic in the future. They include

:15:55. > :15:57.excluding children from school if their siblings are suspected of

:15:58. > :16:00.having the virus. The report also makes it clear the majority of

:16:01. > :16:05.children who weren't vaccinated when the first cases were reported still

:16:06. > :16:09.aren't fully immunised. Cemlyn Davies looks back at how the

:16:10. > :16:12.outbreak unfolded. The first cases of measles were

:16:13. > :16:16.reported in the Swansea area last November. The virus spread quickly

:16:17. > :16:22.and within months the city was in the grips of an epidemic. Lengthy

:16:23. > :16:25.queues became a common sight outside emergency drop in clinics as worried

:16:26. > :16:31.parents brought their children to be immunised. In total there were more

:16:32. > :16:34.than 1,200 reported cases of measles, 88 people were admitted to

:16:35. > :16:39.hospital and one man died after contracting the virus. Father of one

:16:40. > :16:48.Gareth Colfer-Williams was 25 years old. He hadn't been vaccinated. The

:16:49. > :16:51.epidemic was declared officially over in July but last month the

:16:52. > :16:56.virus reappeared at Cwmtawe School in the Swansea Valley. There are now

:16:57. > :17:05.36 reported cases connected to the latest outbreak. According to

:17:06. > :17:08.today's report there are still 30,000 ten to 18-year-olds in Wales

:17:09. > :17:12.who haven't had the full MMR vaccine. Health experts are warning

:17:13. > :17:18.until 95% of youngsters have had both doses of the MMR jabs further

:17:19. > :17:21.cases and outbreaks are inevitable. Dr Marion Lyons is from Public

:17:22. > :17:24.Health Wales. More than half of those who weren't immunised when the

:17:25. > :17:37.outbreak started still haven't been vaccinated. Why? It is a pity that

:17:38. > :17:48.there are so many teenagers still unvaccinated and you must remember

:17:49. > :17:53.that ten years ago, this group, 25% were not vaccinated. We have been

:17:54. > :17:57.chipping away. We are pleased that 20,000 were vaccinated but there is

:17:58. > :18:02.more to be done. Thousands of people are at risk in Swansea. That is

:18:03. > :18:06.true. That is why we have recommended that the Welsh

:18:07. > :18:10.Government commission a piece of research to truly understand why the

:18:11. > :18:14.resistance is there in this age group.

:18:15. > :18:22.Despite the huge media awareness, all the campaigns, the public

:18:23. > :18:27.information, why hasn't it worked? I am sure there are many reasons. Some

:18:28. > :18:31.of it will be because there is still a little bit of suspicion about the

:18:32. > :18:35.safety of the vaccine. Others will be because they never received a

:18:36. > :18:43.letter, the child was not in school. We did explore this with parents.

:18:44. > :18:50.Your message tonight to those thousands of people is presumably go

:18:51. > :18:56.and get the jab? It is safe, effective, it has significant

:18:57. > :19:06.value. Children could be excluded if there

:19:07. > :19:11.siblings have the virus. We have to consider what benefit there would be

:19:12. > :19:13.in not allowing children into classrooms where others are

:19:14. > :19:16.susceptible. Earlier this year heavy snow left

:19:17. > :19:19.hundreds of schools closed across the country, main travel routes

:19:20. > :19:21.disrupted and homes without electricity. Today, the Welsh

:19:22. > :19:25.Government has outlined their preparations to deal with the worst

:19:26. > :19:29.of the winter weather and how local councils can get ready to deal with

:19:30. > :19:32.any heavy snowfall. They're building up their reserves

:19:33. > :19:37.of road salt here at Cardiff Highways Depot in readiness for the

:19:38. > :19:41.winter weather. In the next few days 90 lorry loads of this grit will be

:19:42. > :19:48.delivered from Cheshire ready to be spread on the capital's road. How

:19:49. > :19:52.prepared we are to tackle the winter weather has been discussed at the

:19:53. > :19:57.Senedd today. But it's not just local government services and the

:19:58. > :20:00.roads under the spotlight. The NHS often sees a spike in hospital

:20:01. > :20:04.admissions when the weather turns bad. Now a health specialist has

:20:05. > :20:12.been seconded to the Government to manage any potential winter crisis.

:20:13. > :20:15.There has been in a lot of hard work going on to get people prepared. For

:20:16. > :20:22.the first time this year, there is a formal process involving health

:20:23. > :20:27.boards and the ambulance service and local authorities. I am reassured by

:20:28. > :20:32.the amount of preparation that has gone on. When the snow came back in

:20:33. > :20:35.January, the Valley areas of South Wales were particularly badly

:20:36. > :20:38.affected. The geography of the area means the roads are often steep and

:20:39. > :20:42.narrow. Here the local authority is determined they won't be caught out

:20:43. > :20:46.as in previous years. They have brought in 15,000 tonnes

:20:47. > :21:00.of road salt, more than they have ever had before. I would say over

:21:01. > :21:07.the last couple of years, since we have the bad snow, we are better

:21:08. > :21:12.prepared and we have a lot more contractors on stand-by to assist.

:21:13. > :21:15.We can activate quite quickly. In Cardiff too, they've ordered in

:21:16. > :21:22.extra road salt, 5,500 tonnes, to keep a priority network of roads

:21:23. > :21:27.clear. Without the roads being salted, everything grinds to a halt.

:21:28. > :21:31.People's lives could put in danger, ambulances cannot move. Back in

:21:32. > :21:34.January and in previous winters with the white-out and snow damage, the

:21:35. > :21:37.inevitable power-cuts followed. At their regional depot here in

:21:38. > :21:44.Swansea, engineers from Western Power Distribution are gearing up

:21:45. > :21:48.for the busiest time of the year. We have staff in the Midlands and the

:21:49. > :21:52.South West as well. Generally when the snow comes, it hits one of our

:21:53. > :22:00.regions. We are able to move people in. We have around 3000 field staff.

:22:01. > :22:05.The government has issued new guidance on school closures. Network

:22:06. > :22:09.Rail has new measures in place. But it is only when the snow starts to

:22:10. > :22:17.fall that we will see if the intense planning has worked.

:22:18. > :22:20.Rugby and Jonathan Davies is to become the latest Wales player to

:22:23. > :22:26.Auvergne. He'll leave next summer. Wales Assistant Coach Rob Howley

:22:27. > :22:30.says his departure is a blow to the national team and to the Scarlets.

:22:31. > :22:35.He wants to be part of a winning team, winning medals, and obviously

:22:36. > :22:43.has gone to a side which he feels is going to be right up there in

:22:44. > :22:46.European rugby. Jonathan Davies will be out of action for up to four

:22:47. > :22:50.months because of injury. There's more bad news tonight for

:22:51. > :22:53.the Wales squad. Adam Jones has been ruled out of the entire autumn

:22:54. > :22:57.series due to the calf injury he picked up in the defeat against

:22:58. > :23:00.South Africa. Football and Newport County host

:23:14. > :23:17.If you've ever wondered what the UK's largest sea bird gets up to

:23:18. > :23:20.when it takes to the sky, then a team of researchers may have found

:23:21. > :23:23.the answer. By attaching miniature cameras to some of the gannets at

:23:24. > :23:26.Grassholm island, off Pembrokeshire, they've captured unique footage of

:23:27. > :23:34.the birds as they fly hundreds of miles in search of food. Carwyn

:23:35. > :23:40.Jones reports. Footage like this has never been

:23:41. > :23:45.capped jet before. It is literally a birds eye view of a Gannett. These

:23:46. > :23:51.images were recorded using tiny video cameras taped to the heads of

:23:52. > :23:57.the birds nesting at Grassholm island. The birds flew home each --

:23:58. > :24:07.huge distances and the cameras filmed at all. They were foraging

:24:08. > :24:15.off the coast of North Cornwall. The GPS is on the top and this is the

:24:16. > :24:19.little pinhole camera. This project by Exeter University, the RSPB and

:24:20. > :24:23.Natural Resources Wales has taken years to get off the ground. But

:24:24. > :24:26.images like these reveal a huge amount of detail and that could

:24:27. > :24:31.safeguard the future of this endangered species. A lot of the

:24:32. > :24:37.protection of the spirit is only where they actually breed. That is

:24:38. > :24:43.only Grassholm island. What we don't understand is where they go and feed

:24:44. > :24:47.at sea. Effectively, we want to manage their entire life cycle.

:24:48. > :24:54.Grassholm island is just nine hectares in size but it is home to

:24:55. > :24:56.14,000 pairs. One of the biggest colonies in the world. Now the

:24:57. > :25:01.researchers know the technology works, they hope to place cameras on

:25:02. > :25:02.other species to learn more about life in the skies.

:25:03. > :25:11.Time now for the weather forecast. Good flying weather today. Sunshine

:25:12. > :25:16.and clear with visibility between 20 and 40km. Pembrey one of the warmest

:25:17. > :25:22.places in Wales today. A high of 13 Celsius. Mind you, temperatures are

:25:23. > :25:27.dropping now. Some frost tonight. A few mist and fog patches as well. So

:25:28. > :25:30.a fine evening and night. Turning cold with a few mist and fog patches

:25:31. > :25:34.forming and a widespread ground frost. Air frost in parts of Powys

:25:35. > :25:39.and Carmarthenshire where the temperature will fall as low as

:25:40. > :25:46.minus one. Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure near Iceland. A cold

:25:47. > :25:55.front over Ireland and that's heading our way. Lots of isobars too

:25:56. > :25:59.and that means stronger winds. A dry but cold start. You may need to

:26:00. > :26:03.scrape the frost off the car windscreen. Watch out for a few mist

:26:04. > :26:06.and fog patches as well. Otherwise dry and bright with plenty of

:26:07. > :26:09.sunshine. During the morning, any mist and fog will lift. Make the

:26:10. > :26:13.most of the sunshine because during the afternoon it will cloud over.

:26:14. > :26:16.Spots of drizzle in the north and west by mid afternoon with rain by

:26:17. > :26:19.dusk. Top temperatures eight and 11 Celsius. The south west wind

:26:20. > :26:25.gradually picking up. Becoming strong in the west. Gale force in

:26:26. > :26:28.the north west. In south east Wales tomorrow. Morning mist and fog

:26:29. > :26:32.patches will lift. Most of the day dry. Some sunshine. The wind

:26:36. > :26:38.evening windy with rain clearing to scattered showers. No frost tomorrow

:26:39. > :26:43.night but cold in the wind. Thursday blustery and cold. The strong to

:26:44. > :26:48.gale force wind bringing a few showers. The showers wintry on the

:26:49. > :26:52.mountains. Some dry weather as well. The best of the sunshine in the

:26:53. > :26:55.south east. Friday a quieter day. Most places dry with lighter winds.

:26:56. > :27:06.Saturday cloudy and grey. A few spots of drizzle otherwise dry.

:27:07. > :27:09.Our picture tonight is a painting by Prince Charles. Cwm Berwyn in

:27:10. > :27:17.Ceredigion, his favourite view in Wales. Looks like a good place to go
