:00:00. > :00:07.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Their families say they

:00:08. > :00:14.suffered abuse in care homes - now an independent review is announced.

:00:15. > :00:21.We've tried for a long time to get Operation Jasmine into the public.

:00:22. > :00:24.Our families have suffered. We've got no closure. Now we've got

:00:25. > :00:38.something that will take this forward fairly quickly.

:00:39. > :00:42.Also tonight: Less government money for onshore wind farms - an energy

:00:43. > :00:47.company says it undermines confidence in the industry.

:00:48. > :00:52.But a new nuclear power station on Anglesey takes another step forward.

:00:53. > :00:58.A blow for Cardiff Airport as the airline Flybe cancels routes to

:00:59. > :01:01.Paris and Glasgow. Speeding up the planning system -

:01:02. > :01:07.could making it more simple help build the economy?

:01:08. > :01:09.What's the matter with you? That's a suicidal move!

:01:10. > :01:12.And actor Ray Winstone shows parents how NOT to behave on the touchline -

:01:13. > :01:19.now the Football Association of Wales launches its own campaign.

:01:20. > :01:25.Good evening. It was the biggest investigation into alleged care home

:01:26. > :01:28.neglect in the UK. Tonight the First Minister has announced that an

:01:29. > :01:31.independent review will be held to learn lessons from what happened.

:01:32. > :01:34.The seven-year investigation by Gwent Police collapsed earlier this

:01:35. > :01:37.year after one of the defendants suffered brain damage. Carwyn Jones

:01:38. > :01:42.says he doesn't want the events that happened in the Gwent area a decade

:01:43. > :01:50.ago ever to be repeated. Paul Heaney reports.

:01:51. > :01:59.Memories of their loved ones before it all went wrong. Lorraine's mother

:02:00. > :02:04.suffered pressure sores that left her in agony. The family said that

:02:05. > :02:11.she was treated like an animal in her care home near Caerphilly until

:02:12. > :02:16.2004. Another woman had a similar experience. The family say she was

:02:17. > :02:22.left in a nearly empty room. She died of an infection, allegedly as a

:02:23. > :02:28.result of the neglect in care. The care home near Tredegar now has new

:02:29. > :02:33.owners and there are no suggestions of wrongdoing by the current

:02:34. > :02:38.management. Today was the news the families had been campaigning for.

:02:39. > :02:43.We need a full and independent review of these events to understand

:02:44. > :02:46.whether there is anything else the social care sector and policymakers

:02:47. > :02:52.need to learn, anything else we need to put in place. I have therefore

:02:53. > :02:55.decided to establish an independent review to quickly and effectively

:02:56. > :03:01.look at the major issues raised by the events surrounding operation

:03:02. > :03:04.Jasmin. We know it will affect care in the

:03:05. > :03:09.future. It will improve standards in care homes and hopefully nobody

:03:10. > :03:14.would suffer as these families have suffered going forward.

:03:15. > :03:20.We are so pleased that the first Minister has announced this

:03:21. > :03:24.independent review. The failings will be highlighted and hopefully

:03:25. > :03:30.families in the future won't have to go through what we have had to go

:03:31. > :03:33.through. The regret, the feelings of guilt, even after all these years,

:03:34. > :03:40.is still with us. It is wonderful news.

:03:41. > :03:42.These cases were some of 100 investigated over seven years by

:03:43. > :03:47.Gwent police as part of operation Jasmin. The case collapsed in March

:03:48. > :03:57.because the owner of the care homes involved , Dr Prana Das, was too

:03:58. > :04:01.unwell. The scale of the abuse was

:04:02. > :04:06.appalling. The photographs I have seen are shocking beyond belief. I

:04:07. > :04:10.think if nothing else we get from this enquiry, it is not possible

:04:11. > :04:16.ever again for this kind of abuse to occur in care homes in Wales. It is

:04:17. > :04:19.well worthwhile. They have been haunted by their

:04:20. > :04:22.memories of what happened four years. Some relief, at last, for

:04:23. > :04:26.these families today. The UK Government has given a strong

:04:27. > :04:29.indication of how it's planning to keep the lights on across the

:04:30. > :04:32.country. It's renewing its support for a new nuclear reactor on

:04:33. > :04:36.Anglesey - we'll hear more on that in a moment. But first there's been

:04:37. > :04:39.a mixed reaction to how much financial support is going to

:04:40. > :04:43.renewable energy. Subsidies to inland wind farms and solar parks

:04:44. > :04:48.are going to be cut - offshore wind power fares better. One wind farm

:04:49. > :04:50.company here has told us the decision undermines confidence in

:04:51. > :04:56.the whole industry. Our environment correspondent Iolo ap Dafydd

:04:57. > :04:59.reports. Where our energy comes from and the

:05:00. > :05:03.price we pay for it has an impact on all of us. Today the UK government

:05:04. > :05:08.may to announcements that could signal a shift in our energy

:05:09. > :05:11.landscape. One announcement was to outline a cut in subsidies for solar

:05:12. > :05:17.energies and onshore wind farm stop I think we have recognised it can be

:05:18. > :05:23.delivered at a lower price and we are pushing the offshore said.

:05:24. > :05:26.Overall, our ability to generate power on a renewable basis should be

:05:27. > :05:30.the same. Where renewable energy schemes are

:05:31. > :05:34.built has long been a controversial issue in Wales and today's decision

:05:35. > :05:39.is equally controversial to some developers.

:05:40. > :05:43.It will have hit confidence in onshore wind and I am sure it will

:05:44. > :05:50.cut appointment in you care. It is the lowest cost renewable energy

:05:51. > :05:56.source in the UK and I think the disappointing fact is it is shifting

:05:57. > :05:59.away from renewables. New solar parks like this one will

:06:00. > :06:03.feel the force of today's news and according to a leading energy

:06:04. > :06:08.economist, the decision to reduce renal subsidies could see the end to

:06:09. > :06:13.any big renewable industry in Wales and could have an impact on our

:06:14. > :06:18.economy. With onshore wind, we did get a

:06:19. > :06:22.proportion of community benefits and land leases. If we move to

:06:23. > :06:29.centralise power offshore, we get a smaller slice of the cake so intense

:06:30. > :06:33.of economic impacts, we might lose some.

:06:34. > :06:38.These turbines near North Wales were built by npower. The company is now

:06:39. > :06:46.building a larger wind farm out to sea. Subsidies will be increased for

:06:47. > :06:49.a few years for these objects. Renewables are becoming cheaper so

:06:50. > :06:55.it is telling that on the same day as the UK government is reducing

:06:56. > :06:59.subsidies for onshore wind, it is giving increased support to the

:07:00. > :07:04.nuclear industry and the only future for nuclear industry is for more

:07:05. > :07:08.expensive electricity, not cheaper. Also announced was the business case

:07:09. > :07:12.for energy from a proposed tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay. For any

:07:13. > :07:16.renewable, nuclear or gas energy project to be built in future, they

:07:17. > :07:18.will all need some government support which is why the amount of

:07:19. > :07:22.subsidies available could determine which schemes could eventually

:07:23. > :07:25.generate power for our homes. Today's announcements by the UK

:07:26. > :07:28.Government have been welcomed by supporters of a new nuclear power

:07:29. > :07:34.station at Wylfa on Anglesey. But as Roger Pinney reports construction

:07:35. > :07:38.work there is still years away. You would think it was a done deal.

:07:39. > :07:48.The land has been bought, noting cleared, in truth the new oil for --

:07:49. > :07:55.oil for station is no further than the panning desk. We have a tick in

:07:56. > :07:58.the box. This is the UK government saying they are on board and that is

:07:59. > :08:04.important to the developers because it will help them sell this project

:08:05. > :08:09.to potential investors. Nets look at those tick boxes. It had already

:08:10. > :08:13.been agreed as a potential site and the land acquired. Today an

:08:14. > :08:17.agreement in principle from the UK government that it is prepared to

:08:18. > :08:20.underwrite the project but the reactor design has yet to be

:08:21. > :08:24.approved, there is no agreement on the price to be paid for electricity

:08:25. > :08:28.from the new site and then there is planning permission.

:08:29. > :08:31.There are a number of milestones that we have to achieve before we

:08:32. > :08:37.can make the planning application to the planning inspector. That will

:08:38. > :08:42.start with the first phase of formal public consultation next year. We

:08:43. > :08:47.expect to start construction in late 2018.

:08:48. > :08:50.At least another five years before work starts and they have been

:08:51. > :08:57.talking about a second reactor since the mid-1980s. A few miles away, who

:08:58. > :09:01.can blame supporters of the project for saying that their patient is

:09:02. > :09:06.being tested. They are just talking. It is action

:09:07. > :09:10.we want. People wanting a job, there is no

:09:11. > :09:13.definite date, which isn't good enough. There is not enough jobs on

:09:14. > :09:19.the island so people are waiting for this.

:09:20. > :09:23.Not everyone on Anglesey agrees with nuclear power and opponents haven't

:09:24. > :09:28.given up the fight. I think they are sleepwalking into a

:09:29. > :09:35.disaster because they are potentially going to invest and

:09:36. > :09:38.waste taxpayers money on a vastly expensive and terribly dangerous

:09:39. > :09:44.technology. As the existing plant moves towards

:09:45. > :09:47.next year's planned closure, if replacement inches its way off the

:09:48. > :09:50.drawing board but don't expect it to be an entirely smooth process.

:09:51. > :09:53.A former education advisor to the Welsh Government has defended its

:09:54. > :09:55.record during the early years of devolution. Following yesterday's

:09:56. > :09:58.third consecutive disappointing set of results in the PISA international

:09:59. > :10:01.education league tables, the education minister, Huw Lewis said

:10:02. > :10:07.ministers had taken their eye off the ball on literacy and numeracy

:10:08. > :10:09.during the mid 2000s. But professor David Egan, who advised two

:10:10. > :10:15.education ministers during that time said difficult but important

:10:16. > :10:18.decisions had to be made. Let's go over now to our education

:10:19. > :10:25.correspondent, Arwyn Jones who's in the Senedd.

:10:26. > :10:27.I guess it is inevitable that there is going to be this spill-over from

:10:28. > :10:31.such disappointing results yesterday.

:10:32. > :10:35.Those results which showed once again just how far behind we are in

:10:36. > :10:39.terms of education standards. If you think about 2006, we were

:10:40. > :10:43.disappointed with below average international schools. Three years

:10:44. > :10:47.ago we slipped back even further and yesterday showed we slipped back

:10:48. > :10:54.further still as one very angry teaching union leader put it to me,

:10:55. > :10:56.other than a time of war, of months and education systems shouldn't

:10:57. > :11:00.allow standards to slip again and again and again. One of the

:11:01. > :11:05.explanations offered yesterday by the education minister Huw Lewis was

:11:06. > :11:09.that his predecessors had taken their eye off the ball. That refers

:11:10. > :11:16.to the decision not to monitor centrally the progression of peoples

:11:17. > :11:24.but rely on teacher assessments. That was called a mistake I some and

:11:25. > :11:27.the consequences are being seen now. Some saying that too much time was

:11:28. > :11:31.spent in the early hours of devolution creating a curriculum

:11:32. > :11:36.went other countries are improving standards.

:11:37. > :11:41.That argument has been disputed. Professor David Egan, who advised

:11:42. > :11:44.Jane Hutt and Jane Davidson said that they had to make some very

:11:45. > :11:49.tough decisions doing those early years.

:11:50. > :11:53.There was a consensus reported through to the education Minister. I

:11:54. > :11:59.was working for her as a special adviser at the time, that we should

:12:00. > :12:02.move away from this test that were having an inimical effect on our

:12:03. > :12:07.standards in Wales and we should move towards teacher assessment.

:12:08. > :12:10.What we didn't then do was to put enough emphasis, enough resources

:12:11. > :12:17.into developing teacher assessment to be robust, reliable and

:12:18. > :12:22.consistent. I think that is a weakness. And we took our eye off

:12:23. > :12:25.that ball. One of the other things Professor

:12:26. > :12:31.Egan said to me was that during the early years of devolution, ministers

:12:32. > :12:36.felt it was their duty to bolster support for the Assembly itself and

:12:37. > :12:40.that meant keeping the teaching profession happy, keeping them on

:12:41. > :12:47.board, rather than keeping them and pushing them to increase the

:12:48. > :12:50.standard of training. Perhaps that is being felt now.

:12:51. > :12:53.Still to come in the programme: The campaign to stop parents shouting

:12:54. > :12:58.abuse from the touchline - there's claims it's putting youngsters off

:12:59. > :13:03.football. And batten down the hatches. Strong

:13:04. > :13:09.winds and gales on the way tomorrow and the risk of flooding.

:13:10. > :13:15.The airline Flybe has announced it's cancelling flights from Cardiff to

:13:16. > :13:18.Glasgow and Paris, from January. The company has been restructuring the

:13:19. > :13:21.business - but will keep a number of other services to Belfast, Edinburgh

:13:22. > :13:27.and Jersey. Our business correspondent Brian Meechan is at

:13:28. > :13:34.the airport for us this evening. Brian.

:13:35. > :13:37.Thanks. That's news coming in late this afternoon. There has been a

:13:38. > :13:41.restructuring, as you said. It is perhaps not surprising but it is

:13:42. > :13:46.disappointing to hear these two routes coming from Cardiff Airport.

:13:47. > :13:51.The Chief Executive is Jordan horn. This is bad news for passengers and

:13:52. > :13:54.the airport. I think you have already mentioned

:13:55. > :13:58.this as a company that has been going through a major restructuring

:13:59. > :14:02.exercise and what has happened is some of that has affected the

:14:03. > :14:06.airport here. The impact has been greater in other places but if you

:14:07. > :14:10.look at the airport overall, this summer we had 9% growth after a

:14:11. > :14:19.period of decline for five and a half years. The airport is turning

:14:20. > :14:23.round. This is a Flybe issue. Both these routes are popular and they

:14:24. > :14:26.carry significant numbers of passengers. We are already in

:14:27. > :14:30.dialogue with a number of airlines and expect we can find an airline to

:14:31. > :14:35.pick these up. You say they have been popular,

:14:36. > :14:40.75,000 people have flown to Glasgow and Paris from here. How worried are

:14:41. > :14:44.you that your main competitor, Bristol, will take his 75,000

:14:45. > :14:47.people? My focus is finding those airlines

:14:48. > :14:52.to pick up that market that is here already. That is attractive to

:14:53. > :14:56.airlines and hopefully that will resonate in the conversations we

:14:57. > :15:00.have had with other airlines today so we are confident we can do that.

:15:01. > :15:04.When can we expect some good news about new carriers?

:15:05. > :15:08.I can't predict when that is but we are going to work on it as hard as

:15:09. > :15:16.we can and we are confident we will get something in the near future.

:15:17. > :15:19.I think a bullish attitude from Cardiff about the potential for

:15:20. > :15:23.growth, even as we have about the roots disappearing from Flybe.

:15:24. > :15:26.An investigation by BBC Wales has discovered that insurers for Cardiff

:15:27. > :15:30.Council have paid out ?350,000 since 2011 to settle claims of sexual

:15:31. > :15:33.abuse at a school in the city more than 40 years ago. Seven men have

:15:34. > :15:36.received payments after alleging they were sexually assaulted by

:15:37. > :15:43.their art teacher at Cyntwell High in the 60s and 70s. Paul Martin

:15:44. > :15:49.reports. Cardiff in the 1960s. Different

:15:50. > :15:55.times that for one group of men, their memories are all too clear and

:15:56. > :16:01.frightening. One of the men who has been paid ?24,000 has told us about

:16:02. > :16:03.what he went through. He says he was regularly sexually assaulted by one

:16:04. > :16:09.of his teachers here at Cyntwell High School school.

:16:10. > :16:15.It happened a few days week, when I had art. I would go in the cupboard

:16:16. > :16:20.for paint. He would be smoking his cigarettes in there. It practically

:16:21. > :16:23.ruined my life. My education suffered and my marriage suffered. I

:16:24. > :16:27.feel dirty. You just feel disgusted.

:16:28. > :16:34.The teacher in question is David Leighton Davies. He was later

:16:35. > :16:38.convicted of sexual offences against three boys. Those attacks took place

:16:39. > :16:41.away from the school and he died shortly after his release from

:16:42. > :16:52.prison in 1980. Sidwell school -- Sidwell school --

:16:53. > :16:58.Cyntwell High School closed in the 1980s. The boys say that their

:16:59. > :17:02.experience lives with them today. The solicitor who presented the men

:17:03. > :17:05.say that it is about more than money.

:17:06. > :17:09.They often struggle to move on from what happened to them as a child and

:17:10. > :17:13.importantly, many individuals say they they are grateful for the

:17:14. > :17:15.chance to say that what happened to them has been recognised and they

:17:16. > :17:20.are believed. Cardiff council says the claims were

:17:21. > :17:24.settled by its insurers with no admission of liability. It says it

:17:25. > :17:28.can't give any more affirmation about the conditions because of

:17:29. > :17:30.confidentiality. One leading campaigner has criticised the

:17:31. > :17:34.council for not publicising the settlements.

:17:35. > :17:41.We are in the situation where a man is dead. But we still have to be

:17:42. > :17:45.transparent, for the sake of the big wins -- other victims and the

:17:46. > :17:49.survivors themselves so we can get this message across to them, this

:17:50. > :17:53.was not your fault. The man we spoke to said the money

:17:54. > :17:56.helped him but it is not the same as an apology.

:17:57. > :17:59.It is just compensation. If I lost my arm I would get compensation. But

:18:00. > :18:03.the feeling of what I have been through is still on my mind and I

:18:04. > :18:06.still push my wife away so it will never go away. It will be there.

:18:07. > :18:09.And the Children's Commissioner Keith Towler has responded to our

:18:10. > :18:12.story this afternoon saying, "This is another tragic example of the way

:18:13. > :18:17.in which lives of individuals have been marred as a result of

:18:18. > :18:20.professional abuse". Big planning applications, including

:18:21. > :18:23.for some wind farms, could be decided by the Welsh Government in

:18:24. > :18:26.future instead of local councils. It's part of a shake-up to the

:18:27. > :18:29.planning system outlined by ministers today. They unveiled

:18:30. > :18:32.proposals for a planning bill, and called for a "can-do" attitude

:18:33. > :18:39.towards proposals to build. Daniel Davies reports.

:18:40. > :18:45.It is a long haul, getting permission to build. Before digging

:18:46. > :18:51.foundations buried the paperwork. Here is an application for 400 homes

:18:52. > :18:56.and employment Park. The fee is about ?30,000 for

:18:57. > :18:59.application. Then you have a series of tactical reports that go

:19:00. > :19:08.alongside that, the King at transportation, -- looking at,

:19:09. > :19:14.landscape issues... And so, together that is going to cost potentially in

:19:15. > :19:18.excess of ?100,000. He says the system has ground to a

:19:19. > :19:22.halt. The Welsh government thinks some planning authorities do a good

:19:23. > :19:26.job but not all of them. Where the decisions are slow coming

:19:27. > :19:29.forward and making sure they are the right decisions made locally,

:19:30. > :19:33.determined locally but effectively in the process. If that doesn't

:19:34. > :19:41.happen, and esters will have the power for intervention.

:19:42. > :19:44.So what is proposed? Big objects, including some wind farms, will be

:19:45. > :19:48.decided by ministers, not local councils.

:19:49. > :19:55.You could submit plans direct to the Welsh government if local partners

:19:56. > :19:58.drag their feet. And some local authorities could be merged to make

:19:59. > :20:03.it easier to deal with big projects. Here last night

:20:04. > :20:08.councillors agreed to local development plan. Welsh government

:20:09. > :20:12.rejected a previous version and some local people want to protect these

:20:13. > :20:17.fields from a plan to build more than 1000 homes.

:20:18. > :20:24.It makes people feel better, health and well-being. It filters the water

:20:25. > :20:28.we have. It filters the air. It gives people a sense of well-being

:20:29. > :20:35.and being a part of a beautiful place, especially an urban

:20:36. > :20:44.environment. Some say a grey seal planning system

:21:08. > :21:13.and grass roots football matches. Charlotte Dubenskij reports.

:21:14. > :21:19.Like many who watched their children play, these parents have turned up

:21:20. > :21:22.to support their kids in Cardiff. The atmosphere here is fairly

:21:23. > :21:25.relaxed but there is concern that some parents in Wales are taking the

:21:26. > :21:32.game to seriously. That is a yellow card, breath!

:21:33. > :21:39.A similar campaign in England was fronted by the actor Ray Winstone.

:21:40. > :21:42.What is wrong with you? How is he supposed to learn if you

:21:43. > :21:46.can't make his own mistakes with Mac but something that happens often but

:21:47. > :21:49.the football Association of Wales is warning that increasing numbers of

:21:50. > :21:53.children are being withdrawn from the sport because of the behaviour

:21:54. > :22:00.of some parents. There has to be a line and that is

:22:01. > :22:05.why it is called behind the line. I am all for encouraging kids and

:22:06. > :22:10.making a bit of noise in the right way because you can't be to the

:22:11. > :22:14.extent where people are so afraid to make a mistake and you don't get the

:22:15. > :22:19.best out of them. Clubs are being encouraged to create

:22:20. > :22:27.supporters ends with cones like these in the hope it will encourage

:22:28. > :22:30.parents. So what do parents make of the campaign? Do they think a

:22:31. > :22:34.cordoned will really make a difference?

:22:35. > :22:39.Brilliant idea. Absolutely amazing. At the end of the day it is for all

:22:40. > :22:44.for the children and they want to go out and have fun. The last thing you

:22:45. > :22:48.need is screaming parents. So we always know exactly where to

:22:49. > :22:52.stand on the pitch, which I think is a good idea. We have our own

:22:53. > :22:58.designated areas. I think it's great. I think it is a

:22:59. > :23:01.fine line between negativity and encouragement so I see it often with

:23:02. > :23:05.various teams when I go and play. Sometimes it is discouraging for the

:23:06. > :23:09.children. The FA W say it is important for

:23:10. > :23:12.children to have fun with the sport, rather than placing them under too

:23:13. > :23:18.much pressure. It says the campaign will help eliminate negativity on

:23:19. > :23:20.and off the pitch, allowing the game to remain beautiful.

:23:21. > :23:23.On Monday next week we'll be crowning the 2013 BBC Cymru Wales

:23:24. > :23:27.Sports Personality of the Year, and your vote will decide the winner.

:23:28. > :23:30.There are five candidates for you to consider this year - Gareth Bale,

:23:31. > :23:35.Aled Sion Davies, Leigh Halfpenny, Becky James and Non Stanford. We've

:23:36. > :23:37.been featuring each of them in turn throughout this week. Tonight, it's

:23:38. > :23:53.the turn of Leigh Halfpenny. Not only did Leigh Halfpenny finish

:23:54. > :23:59.their six Nations as a member of the championship winning team, he of the

:24:00. > :24:04.highest scorer and nominated player of the tournament. In the summer, no

:24:05. > :24:10.British and Irish Lions roared louder than Leigh Halfpenny. He

:24:11. > :24:13.broke the points record for a lion on four and awarded player of the

:24:14. > :24:16.series. He broke the record for most points scored in one test. 2013 is

:25:14. > :25:21.Let's get the weather. There are warnings in force?

:25:22. > :25:33.Strong to severe gale force winds on the way. The Met Office has issued a

:25:34. > :25:36.yellow warning of gales for northern counties, north Powys and

:25:37. > :25:40.Ceredigion. Gusts over 60 likely. There's also a risk of flooding on

:25:41. > :25:43.the north Wales coast with large waves due to the combination of a

:25:44. > :25:46.storm surge, high tides and strong onshore winds. At the moment, it's

:25:47. > :25:49.relatively calm. Staying dry overnight with a fairly widespread

:25:50. > :25:52.frost. One or two mist and fog patches forming as well. However,

:25:53. > :25:55.later in the night cloud will increase and the wind will start to

:25:56. > :26:02.pick-up. Here is the picture for ATM. Much of the country dry. Plenty

:26:03. > :26:06.of cloud and much windier that today. Strong to gale force winds on

:26:07. > :26:09.the west coast and in the north. So the wind a big feature tomorrow.

:26:10. > :26:14.Could well cause a few problems if you're travelling. The wind is the

:26:15. > :26:17.main concern tomorrow. During the afternoon a band of rain will move

:26:18. > :26:26.southwards. Heavy in places but it will tend to break-up. The North

:26:27. > :26:29.will become clear by dusk. Temperatures tomorrow higher than

:26:30. > :26:32.today. Eight to 10C but feeling colder because of the strength of

:26:33. > :26:35.the wind. Tomorrow evening clearer and colder with a few showers,

:26:36. > :26:39.mainly in the north. Wintry on higher ground. The wind easing with

:26:40. > :26:43.a slight frost in places. Friday a calmer day. Plenty of cloud and a

:26:44. > :26:46.few showers. Some places dry. Glimpses of sunshine. The weekend,

:26:47. > :26:50.less cold with south-westerly winds. Plenty of cloud. A few spots of

:26:51. > :26:55.light rain and drizzle but some dry weather as well. In the meantime, a

:26:56. > :27:00.word of warning. Strong winds and gales tomorrow. Also a risk of

:27:01. > :27:07.flooding on the north Wales coast. Do take extra care.

:27:08. > :27:11.Tomorrow on Wales Today we'll be getting all the reaction to the

:27:12. > :27:14.chancellor George Osborne's Autumn Statement and what it might mean for

:27:15. > :27:17.us in Wales. Here's our Economics Correspondent Sarah Dickins.

:27:18. > :27:19.George Osborne will tell us how he thinks the economy is stronger and

:27:20. > :27:23.he will outline what he's going to do to make it even better. I will be

:27:24. > :27:27.finding out what that means in practical terms for as in Wales

:27:28. > :27:32.where we live, where we were and where we shop.

:27:33. > :27:37.More tomorrow. We will have a quick update at APN to night and tenderly

:27:38. > :27:39.5pm. That is Wales Today. From all of us on the programme, have a good

:27:40. > :27:41.evening.
