:00:00. > :00:00.Good evening. Welcome to Wales When is it going to end?
:00:00. > :00:07.Good evening. Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's top stories.
:00:08. > :00:22.650 jobs under threat after a Newport bakery loses a multi-million
:00:23. > :00:25.pound contract with Marks Spencer. I thought it was going to be for
:00:26. > :00:33.quite awhile that I was going to working here.
:00:34. > :00:42.It could deal a heavy blow to the local economy.
:00:43. > :00:48.Also tonight. Could the sea be the answer to our
:00:49. > :00:52.energy needs? Plans for a tidal lagoon in Swansea Bay.
:00:53. > :00:58.We've been battered by wind and rain this week. Wales gets ready for more
:00:59. > :01:01.severe weather to come. Good evening. In tonight's sport.
:01:02. > :01:04.It's been all change since Swansea and Cardiff last met - now there is
:01:05. > :01:07.pride and vital Premier League points at stake.
:01:08. > :01:11.And the crossing may have been rough but the spirits are high - the Welsh
:01:12. > :01:17.exodus to Dublin ahead of the Six Nations clash.
:01:18. > :01:22.Hopefully a Welsh win but after last week who knows?
:01:23. > :01:26.Good evening. The future of 650 jobs are under threat at a bakery in
:01:27. > :01:30.Newport tonight after they lost a multi-million pound contract with
:01:31. > :01:33.Marks Spencer. Avana Bakeries in Rogerstone say they're looking for
:01:34. > :01:36.new work, but the future of the whole site is in doubt. Our
:01:37. > :01:44.economics correspondent Sarah Dickins reports.
:01:45. > :01:49.Workers clocking in full shifts today heard the bad news. Their
:01:50. > :01:54.biggest contract had been lost. They have been told redundancies could
:01:55. > :02:00.begin as early as April. Workers have been involved in decorating
:02:01. > :02:05.cakes here for over 25 years. 650 jobs are in question. The contract
:02:06. > :02:12.amounts to 85% of its business, making a range of cakes for its
:02:13. > :02:15.stores across Britain. I am on a temporary contract on the verge of
:02:16. > :02:24.being taken on full time so that is a knock to me now. I can't see that
:02:25. > :02:28.happening. We do products for Tesco, Sainsbury's and we recently
:02:29. > :02:34.received quite a large algae contract. We have got the business
:02:35. > :02:41.but to make 85% of the incoming business is going to be a really
:02:42. > :02:51.hard task. Avana Bakeries is owned by a group based in Birmingham. But
:02:52. > :02:57.it adds it is going to do everything it can to attract new customers. I
:02:58. > :03:01.have had an assurance that officials will do everything they can to help.
:03:02. > :03:06.I don't know whether they will get orders and that is what the managers
:03:07. > :03:11.have assured me, that they are looking for new orders. It would be
:03:12. > :03:17.perfect if Marks Spencer changed their mind but I can't see that
:03:18. > :03:23.happening. All jobs are important. We need jobs in Newport and south
:03:24. > :03:30.Wales. These jobs, five or ten years ago, replaced what were industrial
:03:31. > :03:34.jobs. They are really important. Their work at the plant is skilled
:03:35. > :03:40.and relatively well-paid. Employees had thought business was going well.
:03:41. > :03:44.They are a good workforce so they are very solid in how they are and
:03:45. > :03:54.they performed very well over Christmas. This is a shock. The
:03:55. > :03:59.harsh reality is that Marks Spencer will in future gets its
:04:00. > :04:03.cakes supplied by a firm in Oldham. In a statement it said the decision
:04:04. > :04:09.was part of its work to further improve the quality of its food
:04:10. > :04:12.supply chain. Workers can only hope that new orders can be found.
:04:13. > :04:21.Sarah is outside the bakery for us tonight. Is this company are unusual
:04:22. > :04:28.in having one big contract making up the majority of their business? Not
:04:29. > :04:33.that unusual. The food sector is surprisingly important for our
:04:34. > :04:37.economy. Quite a few of the larger employers in the food sector are a
:04:38. > :04:40.bit like this one. They have a big contract, largely with a
:04:41. > :04:45.supermarket. We have had numerous stories of abattoirs and food
:04:46. > :04:49.processing plants closely tied in with some of the big names in the
:04:50. > :04:53.supermarkets and when those supermarkets decide they want to get
:04:54. > :05:00.it from somewhere else, either for reasons of quality or cost, that is
:05:01. > :05:04.a problem. 85% of the work at this factory is done for Marks
:05:05. > :05:08.Spencer. Those contracts are fantastic to win but they are
:05:09. > :05:17.devastating when they go. How much of a blow to the economy could it
:05:18. > :05:24.be? 650 jobs if this site goes. If it loses the Marks Spencer
:05:25. > :05:29.contract and can't get two extra capacity, if all these jobs go,
:05:30. > :05:34.obviously there is that loss in income to the community but, more
:05:35. > :05:39.importantly, these are skilled jobs and there are not many other people
:05:40. > :05:45.wanting to take on people with these particular skills. Rogerstone is not
:05:46. > :05:51.one of the worst affected areas of industrial Wales but it is fragile
:05:52. > :05:59.and anywhere losing 650 well-paid jobs is a blow economic league and
:06:00. > :06:02.emotionally. -- economically. It could provide power for 120,000
:06:03. > :06:06.homes for 120 years by using the energy from the flow of the tide.
:06:07. > :06:10.That's the claim from developers behind a new tidal lagoon in Swansea
:06:11. > :06:13.Bay that has been submitted for approval today. The ?850 million
:06:14. > :06:18.scheme would initially create 2,000 jobs and will connect Swansea Docks
:06:19. > :06:28.and the Neath river estuary. But opponents say the energy generated
:06:29. > :06:32.doesn't justify the cost. On a day like today, it is easy to
:06:33. > :06:37.see why the government is interested in generating power from wind and
:06:38. > :06:41.wave. In four years time, they could be the world's first energy
:06:42. > :06:46.generating lagoon on the other side of the breakwater. It could cover a
:06:47. > :06:52.quarter of Swansea Bay, from the dock area towards the university's
:06:53. > :06:58.new science campus. 16 turbines, seven metre in diameter, would catch
:06:59. > :07:02.the world's second highest tides, rushing in from the Atlantic Ocean.
:07:03. > :07:08.If the scheme is approved, this newly formed company say power could
:07:09. > :07:19.be reduced for 216 hours a day. This is about launching an industry. The
:07:20. > :07:24.price will be cheaper than nuclear power. The money is there to build
:07:25. > :07:29.the lagoon. We do need to which even the correct subsidy level from the
:07:30. > :07:32.British government. They could be at two 2000 construction jobs, 60
:07:33. > :07:39.full-time posts are promised and it is hoped it will become a tourist
:07:40. > :07:42.attraction. But the real prize could be a fit with thousand engineering
:07:43. > :07:48.jobs, establishing a new tidal energy industry in -- if three or
:07:49. > :07:53.four tidal lagoons are building future. To generate a cleaner source
:07:54. > :07:58.of power for any adversity, tidal lagoon power is asking for a
:07:59. > :08:05.government subsidy for around 40 years. Last year, EDF energy secured
:08:06. > :08:13.?92 50 per megawatt hour of energy after 2023. Large solar parks will
:08:14. > :08:21.attract government support of ?120 per megawatt hour. Wind farms on
:08:22. > :08:31.land typically are offered ?95. Wind farms offshore demand ?155. The
:08:32. > :08:38.tidal lagoon in Swansea are asking for an electricity strike price of
:08:39. > :08:42.between ?155 and ?154 per megawatt hour. The development claim the
:08:43. > :08:47.subsidy was fall as more are built but those who favour a much bigger
:08:48. > :08:49.barrage across the Severn Estuary between Cardiff and
:08:50. > :08:55.Weston-super-Mare say the price of energy generated from a lagoon could
:08:56. > :09:01.be its biggest drawback. The Swansea Bay tidal lagoon is fine for Swansea
:09:02. > :09:05.Bay but it is 1500 football pitches in size. You would need 50 of them
:09:06. > :09:11.to generate the fraction of the power of the Severn barrage. In
:09:12. > :09:15.contrast to a barrage across the seven, tidal lagoons would not block
:09:16. > :09:20.river estuaries. Scrutiny will now start in earnest. The planning
:09:21. > :09:25.Inspectorate will look at this proposal for up to a year. The final
:09:26. > :09:36.decision will rest with Ed Davey, the energy minister in Westminster.
:09:37. > :09:39.April Imrie investigation for murder and the possession of jerk -- drugs
:09:40. > :09:45.is under way following the death of a 33 old woman from Swansea in
:09:46. > :09:48.Bulgaria. Nina Holmes from Gorseinon collapsed in the skiing resort of
:09:49. > :09:50.Borovets on Sunday. The Foreign Office has said it's providing help
:09:51. > :09:54.to her family. A series of clinics will be held by
:09:55. > :09:57.Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board for patients and their
:09:58. > :10:00.relatives who want to voice concerns about standards of care. It follows
:10:01. > :10:06.a public meeting last week where calls were made for the Health
:10:07. > :10:10.Board's chief executive to resign. The Labour Assembly Member Keith
:10:11. > :10:14.Davies has called for the immediate suspension of the chief executive of
:10:15. > :10:22.Carmarthenshire county council. His comments come after a report from
:10:23. > :10:24.the auditor general, -- auditor general's office claims of the
:10:25. > :10:28.payments made to him were unlawful. It's heading our way and is supposed
:10:29. > :10:31.to hit land at around 8.00pm tonight but what will Hurricane Petra bring?
:10:32. > :10:35.We're being told to expect disruption to transport and to
:10:36. > :10:37.power. For some, it's just adding to the difficulties the rain has
:10:38. > :10:41.already brought. Caroline Evans has been looking at how conditions are
:10:42. > :10:48.affecting people and what one of our power companies is doing to prepare
:10:49. > :10:52.for the next 48 hours. Here at the Cardiff heard of Western
:10:53. > :10:57.power distribution, they are ready. All staff on stand-by. This is the
:10:58. > :11:09.control centre that controls the network. Across South Wales and the
:11:10. > :11:15.south-west of England. The company constantly monitors the weather. The
:11:16. > :11:20.wind is the main concern, particularly if it goes over 60 mph.
:11:21. > :11:25.We normally have people on stand-by over a weekend and that will be 40
:11:26. > :11:32.or so. We have now put everybody on stand-by so that goes up to about
:11:33. > :11:36.300. That is right across South Wales. We also put other people
:11:37. > :11:39.across the whole of the business from Skegness to Land's End on
:11:40. > :11:44.stand-by so we could be able to call on them as well if things get really
:11:45. > :11:47.bad. News that a section of the Cambrian line is expected to reopen
:11:48. > :11:52.on Monday has brought relief for some. Brilliant news for the
:11:53. > :12:02.community after a month of destruction. It is really good news
:12:03. > :12:10.for the town. I know it has had an adverse effect on the economy. But
:12:11. > :12:13.for farmers, the weather continues to make life difficult, killing
:12:14. > :12:19.crops and soaking pastures at what is one of the busiest times of the
:12:20. > :12:23.year. We have turned up about 400 lambs. I walk around them each
:12:24. > :12:28.morning, worried how I will find them because they have been outside
:12:29. > :12:32.in torrential rain all night. If you have water standing on a crop for
:12:33. > :12:39.more than a fortnight, the crop will actually die and rot away. There are
:12:40. > :12:48.lots of lakes on the fields where we have corn which have been studied
:12:49. > :12:53.since Christmas. After what was the wettest January in 50 years, this
:12:54. > :13:00.week Wales saw a bus washed off the road, beach huts damaged and a train
:13:01. > :13:06.overturned. Student accommodation in Aberystwyth was also evacuated. And
:13:07. > :13:11.on top of the beacons, fresh snow. Still to come in the programme.
:13:12. > :13:16.Marking half a century of programmes from BBC Wales.
:13:17. > :13:23.And a broadcasting revolution for the country.
:13:24. > :13:31.Good evening. A lot has changed since Swansea and Cardiff last met
:13:32. > :13:36.each other on a football field. It has been a jubilant few weeks with
:13:37. > :13:39.both clubs sacking their managers. The men who have replaced them are
:13:40. > :13:43.comparative rookies but they have been thrown into a South Wales derby
:13:44. > :13:48.that will have a huge bearing on whether their clubs avoid relegation
:13:49. > :13:52.from the Premier League. The South will star be is spicy at
:13:53. > :13:57.the best of times but the added ingredients of two new managers and
:13:58. > :14:01.a relegation scrap means tomorrow's match is hotter than ever. In
:14:02. > :14:07.November, it was Malky Mackay against Michael Laudrup. Tomorrow,
:14:08. > :14:12.the new men in charge will fight for a victory which could help define
:14:13. > :14:15.their young managerial careers. In the away dugout, Ole Gunnar
:14:16. > :14:21.Solskjaer hoping to lift Cardiff out of the bottom three since taking
:14:22. > :14:25.charge. And over yet, Garry Monk, a matched a manager for the first
:14:26. > :14:34.time. Win the Derby, and the job could be his long-term. It is
:14:35. > :14:38.massive. It has got to be about the football. I have said that the
:14:39. > :14:42.players. I think it makes for a great game. Especially at home in
:14:43. > :14:47.front of our supporters. We lost the first game their place so we have
:14:48. > :14:52.the right a wrong. We are burning to create history. To be fair, to
:14:53. > :14:59.repeat history. You can create history by doing the double, Craig
:15:00. > :15:07.scored the winner at the Liberty Stadium three years ago. So it is an
:15:08. > :15:11.important game for us, don't worry. The form of both clubs is for coming
:15:12. > :15:16.into the match. Cardiff have won two and Swansea just one of their last
:15:17. > :15:20.ten semi-league matches. That has pulled them both into the relegation
:15:21. > :15:24.scrap. A Cardiff win would put them level but the Swans can open a
:15:25. > :15:31.6-point gap over their rivals if they come out on top. A lot of fans
:15:32. > :15:34.will be making a day of it. This city centre restaurant in Swansea
:15:35. > :15:37.will be busier than normal with a rush of people hoping to celebrate
:15:38. > :15:47.or maybe commiserate over dinner and drinks. My cell is full, my fridge
:15:48. > :15:51.is full. That has a knock-on effect to my suppliers. They are happy this
:15:52. > :15:57.weekend. We are buying a lot more produce. It is an upward spiral for
:15:58. > :16:01.all of us. Commentator Rob Phillips is looking forward to one of the
:16:02. > :16:04.highlights of the year. He is preparing to describe a match for
:16:05. > :16:11.radio Wales tomorrow evening. It really is a close one to call. In
:16:12. > :16:15.terms of quality, Swansea city probably cannot on top but in terms
:16:16. > :16:20.of commitment and maybe the desire in a derby, these Cardiff players
:16:21. > :16:25.have got a lot going for them. These are two clubs trying to move clear
:16:26. > :16:28.of a crisis. This is the perfect opportunity for both to take a big
:16:29. > :16:35.step forward. It's been billed as the grudge match
:16:36. > :16:39.of this year's Six Nations. Wales are in Dublin hunting a win that
:16:40. > :16:42.would keep them on course to become the first nation to win three
:16:43. > :16:45.successive Six Nations titles. The hundreds of fans that have made the
:16:46. > :16:50.trip are confident Wales have a few tricks up their sleeves to overcome
:16:51. > :16:54.the Irish challenge. Holyhead port today and rugby fans
:16:55. > :16:57.arriving to catch the ferry to Dublin. The Welsh team can boast a
:16:58. > :17:05.loyal and loud following and these fans couldn't wait to get there.
:17:06. > :17:10.Fantastic. It is always an epic trip when we go to Ireland. The French
:17:11. > :17:15.game is on Friday which is awkward so this has become our home trip.
:17:16. > :17:19.One of the lads bought it for me to get in the spirit of things. For
:17:20. > :17:23.those who braved the weather and have already arrived in Dublin, they
:17:24. > :17:26.are optimistic that not only will they be going home in calmer
:17:27. > :17:31.conditions but they will get that win over the Irish. They will tackle
:17:32. > :17:38.hard but I think we will come away victorious. Hopefully a Welsh win
:17:39. > :17:42.but after last week who knows? Wales came unstuck to Ireland at home
:17:43. > :17:45.despite going on to win the championship last year. They know
:17:46. > :17:48.they can't let that happen again if they are to stay on course for the
:17:49. > :17:55.historic three title wins on the trot. Every game is tough but this
:17:56. > :17:58.game in particular, given the quality of Ireland and the way they
:17:59. > :18:01.played last weekend and the last game was New Zealand, they looked
:18:02. > :18:09.like a good outfit and they are going to be tough to beat. It is
:18:10. > :18:12.definitely going to be a key battle. Whatever team wins, I think they
:18:13. > :18:18.will go on and have a lot of momentum. Ireland are boosted by the
:18:19. > :18:23.return of Paul O'Connell and Gordon D'Arcy. And despite Warren
:18:24. > :18:26.Gatland's plea, the whole saga over Brian O'Driscoll's Lions axing and
:18:27. > :18:30.the notion of this being a revenge mission for the centre is the
:18:31. > :18:34.subplot to the whole weekend. The players know each other very well
:18:35. > :18:39.and Ireland's coach says that adds extra spice. Paul O'Connell was
:18:40. > :18:43.talking about always feeling that Mike Phillips was difficult to play
:18:44. > :18:48.against and getting angry with him on occasions but he says he is a
:18:49. > :18:53.great guy and they kid around together on the Lions tour. It is
:18:54. > :19:00.like when you compete with your brother. You are that much more
:19:01. > :19:04.competitive. Best of friends on the streets of Dublin today, they will
:19:05. > :19:07.be Celtic froze just before kick-off in the game earmarked as the biggest
:19:08. > :19:10.grudge match of this year's tournament.
:19:11. > :19:13.So, it's all set up, and there's plenty of action. After a great
:19:14. > :19:16.start to their campaign, the Under 20s play tonight. Scrum V are live
:19:17. > :19:20.in Athlone. Coverage starts at 7:15pm over on BBC Two Wales. And
:19:21. > :19:23.Wales Women are hoping to bounce back from their defeat to Italy.
:19:24. > :19:27.They're also in action tonight. Here's how tomorrow looks - covearge
:19:28. > :19:30.of Ireland and Wales starts at two o'clock on BBC One Wales. That game
:19:31. > :19:36.is followed by Scotland against Ireland. Scotland and England,
:19:37. > :19:38.rather. And tomorrow afternoon, Radio Wales will also have
:19:39. > :19:41.commentary of the big football derby.
:19:42. > :19:45.And as we just saw, thousands of Welsh fans will be in Dublin for
:19:46. > :19:48.tomorrow's game, but for most of us it'll be an afternoon on the sofa
:19:49. > :19:51.glued to the telly. This is how Maureen Boyardi and her friends in
:19:52. > :19:54.Treorchy enjoyed last weekend's Italy game. No shortage of high
:19:55. > :19:58.spirits there. But how and where will you be watching the Ireland
:19:59. > :20:02.match? Take a photo or video and send it to us. Here's how to get in
:20:03. > :20:09.touch. E-mail us at wales.today@bbc.co.uk. We look
:20:10. > :20:13.forward to hearing from you. The opening ceremony for the Winter
:20:14. > :20:19.Olympics is underway in Russia. The only Welsh athlete in the British
:20:20. > :20:23.team is from West Wales. He is the brakeman in the bobsleigh team. He
:20:24. > :20:27.is in with a realistic chance of winning a medal.
:20:28. > :20:38.Newport County's game against Fleetwood tonight is off. It's their
:20:39. > :20:41.fifth postponement at Rodney Parade since late December. The Football
:20:42. > :20:44.League has been in touch over the state of their pitch. Wrexham are
:20:45. > :20:46.holding a pitch inspection at 8.00am tomorrow ahead of their Conference
:20:47. > :20:51.game against Dartford. Now the face of BBC Wales on our TV
:20:52. > :20:54.screens has changed over the years - and this weekend marks the fiftieth
:20:55. > :20:58.anniversary of the launch of a uniquely Welsh television service.
:20:59. > :21:01.Before 1964 viewers here shared a local service with the west of
:21:02. > :21:04.England, but a broadcasting revolution meant programmes from
:21:05. > :21:06.Wales would now hold their own - as our arts and media correspondent Huw
:21:07. > :21:21.Thomas reports. Over changing times and changing
:21:22. > :21:23.styles, BBC Wales has been broadcasting to a distinctly Welsh
:21:24. > :21:34.audience for 50 years. From dramas and music to in-depth
:21:35. > :21:40.investigations, it was a decision in 1964 that began a revolution in the
:21:41. > :21:43.new service. A new transmitter was built in Cardiff, creating a new

:21:49. > :21:53.schedules with the English regions. But not everyone was pleased. There
:21:54. > :21:57.were a couple of areas where people went for the Bristol service rather
:21:58. > :22:03.than the Welsh service. There were those who complained, particularly
:22:04. > :22:06.in parts of north west Wales that they weren't getting enough in
:22:07. > :22:18.Welsh. You could say it was something of a conundrum. Welsh
:22:19. > :22:23.language programmes were a staple of the BBC will service. It was not
:22:24. > :22:29.until 1982 that S4C would become a permanent home for shows like this
:22:30. > :22:33.soap opera. Over time, our tastes have changed, but through it all we
:22:34. > :22:38.have been glued to the box. From early transmissions to a full
:22:39. > :22:42.schedule of programmes, the BBC has been broadcasting its bespoke
:22:43. > :22:47.service for the last 50 years. And while many others now watch
:22:48. > :22:48.programmes online, more than 90% of television viewing still happens
:22:49. > :23:01.while we sat in front of the box. We all change when you think about
:23:02. > :23:05.it. We are all different people. In recent years it is drama like
:23:06. > :23:09.Doctor Who that has become an important part of BBC will's
:23:10. > :23:16.output, made here and shown across Britain and around the world. There
:23:17. > :23:22.are plenty of challenges ahead. BBC were, like every part of the BBC, is
:23:23. > :23:25.going to need to adapt and evolve, but that basic notion that Wales
:23:26. > :23:30.deserved its own media service that can deal with Wales on its own terms
:23:31. > :23:40.in our own language, I think that is hugely important and it is something
:23:41. > :23:43.that will endure. In its 50th year, BBC Wales's programmes are watched
:23:44. > :23:48.by a million people a week on BBC One Wales and while the shows have
:23:49. > :23:51.come a long way in 50 years, it is a tougher task than ever to keep
:23:52. > :23:58.audiences gripped with all the chalice and technology in their
:23:59. > :24:03.living rooms -- channels. Who knows what the next 50 years
:24:04. > :24:05.will bring? Derek will probably still be here. Now he can bring us
:24:06. > :24:14.the weather. Batten down the hatches again. The
:24:15. > :24:21.next big Atlantic storm is on our door step, bringing yet more rain
:24:22. > :24:24.and very strong winds. Met Office warnings are in force, one for heavy
:24:25. > :24:30.rain, plus an amber warning for severe gales in southern counties.
:24:31. > :24:33.Gusts of 70mph to 80mph on the Bristol Channel coast tomorrow
:24:34. > :24:39.afternoon could bring down a few trees. Be prepared for more
:24:40. > :24:46.flooding, travel disruption and possible power cuts this weekend.
:24:47. > :24:55.This evening it will turn wet and windy. Another 10mm to 20mm of rain.
:24:56. > :24:59.Strong to gale force winds as well. The rain clearing to showers after
:25:00. > :25:03.midnight.. Temperatures staying above freezing. The chart for
:25:04. > :25:09.tomorrow shows an intense low pressure centred over Ireland. Lots
:25:10. > :25:19.of isobars and that means very strong winds. So at 8.00am in the
:25:20. > :25:27.morning, some places dry but not everywhere. There will be heavy
:25:28. > :25:32.showers around. Breezy in the east. The wind stronger in the south and
:25:33. > :25:38.west with gales on the coast. During the day, more rain and heavy showers
:25:39. > :25:44.to come. Hail and thunder possible. Snow on the mountains and very
:25:45. > :25:50.windy. Gales inland with gusts over 50mph. Severe gales on the south and
:25:51. > :25:53.west coast. At the Liberty Stadium, strong winds will ruffle the
:25:54. > :25:59.feathers of the Swans and the Bluebirds. Wet at times as well and
:26:00. > :26:04.feeling cold. Not quite so windy in Dublin for the rugby but watch out
:26:05. > :26:09.for heavy showers. If you're out on the town tomorrow night, it will
:26:10. > :26:14.continue very windy with gales. More rain and heavy showers as well with
:26:15. > :26:19.snow on higher ground. Sunday will be windy too with further rain and
:26:20. > :26:25.blustery showers. Snow on some hills and mountains. Turning drier later
:26:26. > :26:29.in the day. The tides this weekend will be lower than recently, but big
:26:30. > :26:34.waves are expected in the south-west so there is a risk of flooding on
:26:35. > :26:37.parts of the coast. Next week, Monday will be calmer with some
:26:38. > :26:41.sunshine but the signs are that it won't last. Low pressure may bring
:26:42. > :26:47.more rain and strong winds by Tuesday. Still no sign of the
:26:48. > :26:54.weather settling down. So the record breaking wet winter looks set to
:26:55. > :27:03.continue for a while yet. You can keep up to date with the forecast on
:27:04. > :27:04.our website. Hopefully the Welsh rugby team will give something smile
:27:05. > :27:16.about tomorrow. The main news a game from the BBC.
:27:17. > :27:20.The chair of the Environment Agency has defended its handling of the
:27:21. > :27:27.flooding crisis during a visit to Somerset, saying he has no intention
:27:28. > :27:30.of resigning. And six and 50 jobs are under threat
:27:31. > :27:38.at a bakery near Newport after it lost a multi-million pound contract
:27:39. > :27:40.with Marks Spencer. -- 650. Avana Bakeries say they are looking for
:27:41. > :27:44.new work. And that is Wales Today. We'll have
:27:45. > :27:45.more news at 8.00pm and at 10.25pm. For now though, from all of us
:27:46. > :27:47.more news at 8.00pm and at 10.25pm. For now though, from all of us on
:27:48. > :27:49.the programme, have a good evening.
