:00:00. > :00:08.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story.
:00:09. > :00:12.The home of the Bond movies. Pinewood Film Company is opening a
:00:13. > :00:18.new studio in Cardiff, promising a multi-million pound investment. I'll
:00:19. > :00:21.ask the Pembrokeshire film-maker who won a BAFTA last night if the
:00:22. > :00:37.promises will live up to the billing.
:00:38. > :00:42.Our other headlines tonight. We're in the market to see if the benefits
:00:43. > :00:47.shake up will result in more or less money being spent in our
:00:48. > :00:50.communities. A string of rescues prompts a
:00:51. > :00:53.warning of avalanches after two climbers are swept 1,000 feet down
:00:54. > :00:57.Snowdon. And cautiously optimistic. Could the
:00:58. > :01:04.ongoing rugby row be solved before the end of the Six Nations?
:01:05. > :01:08.Good evening. Best known for James Bond films, Pinewood Studios has
:01:09. > :01:10.announced is to open a new facility in Cardiff. The Welsh Government
:01:11. > :01:14.says the deal would generate an estimated ?90 million and support
:01:15. > :01:17.2,000 jobs over five years. In return they would also make
:01:18. > :01:21.available ?30 million for film projects made in Wales. The new site
:01:22. > :01:24.will be located in Wentloog in Cardiff and will be leased by
:01:25. > :01:27.Pinewood for five years initially. It's not the Welsh Government's
:01:28. > :01:31.first venture into attracting film-makers. In 2008, the
:01:32. > :01:33.multi-million pound Dragon International Studios in Rhondda
:01:34. > :01:55.Cynon Taf was partly mothballed after only one film.
:01:56. > :01:58.It is the movie brand that has promoted British film around the
:01:59. > :02:03.world perhaps more than any other. For years, James Bond has made its
:02:04. > :02:08.home at Pinewood and helped cement the company 's place as one of the
:02:09. > :02:15.film industry 's biggest names. But could this be their new home? It
:02:16. > :02:19.will open soon. After a year of talks, Pinewood
:02:20. > :02:25.picked Cardiff for its first British studio away from the south-east of
:02:26. > :02:29.England. I think there is a lot more that we
:02:30. > :02:32.can do as a government and we just see this as being a very important
:02:33. > :02:37.venture for us and we were able to give them the building they require.
:02:38. > :02:42.The amount of space they require is absolutely phenomenal. But then you
:02:43. > :02:50.add the beautiful locations we can also provide, it is a win-win. It
:02:51. > :02:54.will help small businesses, it is and employment opportunity.
:02:55. > :02:57.The significant after days announcement cannot be understated.
:02:58. > :03:10.It is one of the biggest names in the film would. The deal -- with the
:03:11. > :03:18.deal announced, we could see some familiar faces in South Wales. Wales
:03:19. > :03:24.has often been a popular location for filming. But the relationship
:03:25. > :03:39.with film studios has been a turbulent one.
:03:40. > :03:43.Pinewood 's arrival comes with optimism, with a heritage of
:03:44. > :03:46.film-making and an initial commitment to take a five-year lease
:03:47. > :03:50.on the site. And there is a promise of more funding from the Welsh
:03:51. > :03:55.Government. They are making a ?30 million pot available to production
:03:56. > :04:03.companies. The government will get a cut of the profits if they do well
:04:04. > :04:07.at the box office. Wales has become quite a well-known centre for the
:04:08. > :04:09.production of television drama and with the UK Government 's
:04:10. > :04:14.introduction of a tax incentive for big budget television, this
:04:15. > :04:20.partnership is something we are very excited by. And it will allow us to
:04:21. > :04:27.work you within this facility to make it suitable for production.
:04:28. > :04:30.While it is the film 's stars that we are most likely to notice in
:04:31. > :04:36.Wales, it is the skilled workforce established here that are likely to
:04:37. > :04:43.feel the benefit. It is an established and trusted brand. It
:04:44. > :04:47.has the track record. It is about the timing. You have lots of new
:04:48. > :04:53.talent coming through the ranks, radiator break into pictures. --
:04:54. > :04:57.ready to break. We will not have to wait long to
:04:58. > :05:00.find out what is produced next. Pinewood say they are hoping to
:05:01. > :05:04.start work as soon as possible. It was a big night for the British film
:05:05. > :05:06.industry last night, and in particular, for Pembrokeshire film
:05:07. > :05:09.maker, Kieran Evans. He won the Outstanding Debut BAFTA
:05:10. > :05:18.for his first feature length film Kelly And Victor. Congratulations.
:05:19. > :05:21.Kieran, we'll discuss your wonderful achievement in a few moments, but
:05:22. > :05:25.first, your reaction to Pinewood studios coming to Wales?
:05:26. > :05:30.I think it is fantastic news. It is a great boost for the creative
:05:31. > :05:35.industry. There is a lot of talented film-making in Wales. And I think it
:05:36. > :05:40.is about time that we got to see a bit more of that. You struggled for
:05:41. > :05:44.years to get this film off the ground. I wonder what difference
:05:45. > :05:48.this kind of investment, this kind of name in Wales, will make to
:05:49. > :05:52.people like you want the way up. I think it is important to realise
:05:53. > :05:57.that when you are looking for money, you need some back-up and
:05:58. > :06:02.money from the Welsh Government and especially for people like film
:06:03. > :06:07.agency Wales, but all helps you to get on the first rung of the ladder.
:06:08. > :06:15.Let's talk about that after. It has put you on the world stage.
:06:16. > :06:20.I hope they don't take eight years to make my next film. But is the
:06:21. > :06:25.first thing. It is about getting recognised. It is the first rung on
:06:26. > :06:28.the ladder and getting going. And just moving on with the new projects
:06:29. > :06:33.and getting exposure to what you want to do next. Wales likes to
:06:34. > :06:38.think of itself as a boom area for the creative arts and for
:06:39. > :06:46.film-making. Is it really? I personally think so. There are a lot
:06:47. > :06:50.of talented people. I have been working making three Manic St
:06:51. > :06:55.preachers videos. There is a well and depth of talents. It needs to be
:06:56. > :07:00.tapped into a bit more. But there is a lot of good creative people
:07:01. > :07:04.waiting to make films in Wales. And I think this announcement today can
:07:05. > :07:08.only get them on their way. Was there one thing that was the secret
:07:09. > :07:14.of your success? Someone in school? Family influence?
:07:15. > :07:18.There are in broth people that I have to think. My parents
:07:19. > :07:23.especially. -- a number of people. But there was a drama teacher in
:07:24. > :07:32.school who opened my mind to drama when I was about 13 years old. She
:07:33. > :07:37.set me on my way. I have a lock to thank her for. A lot to thank her
:07:38. > :07:43.for. Thank you very much. And there was
:07:44. > :07:46.another Welsh winner last night. Sarah will know who grow up in
:07:47. > :07:58.Swansea won the short animation award.
:07:59. > :08:02.Two women from mid Wales have been jailed for illegally burying a man
:08:03. > :08:05.and claiming benefits in his name. Geoffrey Sturdey died in 2008, but
:08:06. > :08:09.his body was only found the village of Llwynygroes in Ceredigion last
:08:10. > :08:14.June. His widow was involved in the fraud. Cemlyn Davies reports. This
:08:15. > :08:17.is the remote part of countryside where Geoffrey Sturdey's body was
:08:18. > :08:21.found nearly five years after he died. He lived with his wife and
:08:22. > :08:25.three other woman near Llwynygroes in Ceredigion. Mr Sturdey was 60
:08:26. > :08:29.when he died of natural causes but his death was kept a secret as his
:08:30. > :08:35.widow, Ladan Rebekah Sturdey and Boque Ore Aide, continued to claim
:08:36. > :08:45.benefits in his name. They fraudulently received more than
:08:46. > :08:50.?77,000. Eventually staff at the Department of Work and Pensions grew
:08:51. > :08:58.suspicious. It started as a departmental matching scam. It was
:08:59. > :09:02.above the required limits. It seemed to be a straightforward case but
:09:03. > :09:04.when the investigator looked at it closely, it became apparent there
:09:05. > :09:07.was more to this. The women claimed Mr Sturdey had
:09:08. > :09:09.gone travelling across Europe but after an extensive search operation
:09:10. > :09:12.involving digging equipment and ground-penetrating radar police
:09:13. > :09:20.found his body - and notes written in Hebrew explaining how he had
:09:21. > :09:23.died. As he sentenced them to 20 months in prison, his honour judge
:09:24. > :09:27.Paul Thomas QC told Ladan Rebekah Sturdey and Boque Ore Aide they had
:09:28. > :09:34.taken advantage of Mr Sturdey's sad death to claim benefits to which
:09:35. > :09:37.they were not entitled. It gave you two the opportunity to enrich
:09:38. > :09:48.yourselves at the expense of the rest of us, he said. Ladan Rebekah
:09:49. > :09:50.Sturdey and Boque Ore Aide will serve half their sentences behind
:09:51. > :09:55.bars before being released on license. This investigation has
:09:56. > :09:59.shown that people have unlawfully buried this person and then
:10:00. > :10:05.continued to claim benefits and they will not get away with it. Karmel
:10:06. > :10:08.Aide, who had also admitted unlawfully burying a man, was given
:10:09. > :10:20.a nine month suspended sentence and she was ordered to complete 150
:10:21. > :10:34.hours of unpaid work. There's a police investigation into
:10:35. > :10:37.an unlawful payments he received. Pembrokeshire County Council, Bryn
:10:38. > :10:40.Parry Jones, will not be standing down, unlike his counterpart at
:10:41. > :10:43.Carmarthenshire Council, Mark James. On Friday, Pembrokeshire Council
:10:44. > :11:07.accepted a Wales Audit Office report stating they'd made "unlawful"
:11:08. > :11:11.payments to Mr Parry Jones. It's the biggest shake up to welfare
:11:12. > :11:13.payments in generation - now the Welsh Government has calculated the
:11:14. > :11:17.cost to Wales of UK Government's changes. It argues that ?930,000 is
:11:18. > :11:20.being taken out of the Welsh economy. The Department for Work and
:11:21. > :11:23.Pensions says when Universal credit is rolled out across the UK, three
:11:24. > :11:27.million households in the UK, 200,000 in Wales, will be better off
:11:28. > :11:30.by just more than ?160 a month. So who's got their sums right? Here's
:11:31. > :11:32.our economics correspondent, Sarah Dickins.
:11:33. > :11:35.Neath market, the heart of the county which the Welsh government
:11:36. > :11:38.says will be hit hardest by changes to welfare payments. Its research
:11:39. > :11:44.argues they will affect all of us not just individuals getting
:11:45. > :11:49.benefits or tax credits. I think they are more price conscious, from
:11:50. > :11:56.young families to especially pensioners, who are striving to
:11:57. > :11:58.hatch out -- stretch out a pound, basically. The argument follows that
:11:59. > :12:02.if individual household incomes fall, there's less money in the
:12:03. > :12:05.economy as a whole. The Welsh Government has analysed 14 benefits
:12:06. > :12:08.and come to the conclusion that changes will reduce the money coming
:12:09. > :12:11.to Wales through benefits and tax credits by ?930 million a year.
:12:12. > :12:22.That's equivalent to ?500 a year for every adult in Wales between the
:12:23. > :12:29.ages of 16 and 64. That is bound to have an impact in terms of private
:12:30. > :12:33.sector jobs. It is something we have to look at very seriously indeed.
:12:34. > :12:36.But the Department of Work and Pensions says its welfare reforms
:12:37. > :12:40.will improve the lives of ?200,000 households in Wales by ?163 a
:12:41. > :12:46.month. Added together that's a total of just more than ?390 million a
:12:47. > :12:49.year. The Department for Work and Pensions says when Universal Credit
:12:50. > :12:53.is rolled out people will be able to work for more hours before they
:12:54. > :13:01.reach the cut off point for welfare payments. I have very little
:13:02. > :13:06.sympathy. In fact, I have no sympathy for young, healthy,
:13:07. > :13:10.able-bodied people who say they cannot find work. If it means
:13:11. > :13:14.moving, you have to move, that is the way life is. And when he refers
:13:15. > :13:17.to one million people finding work he's referring to people coming from
:13:18. > :13:20.Eastern Europe to work. The Welsh Government and the
:13:21. > :13:23.Department of Work and Pensions are talking about different things, like
:13:24. > :13:26.comparing apples and pears. The Welsh Government is focussing on the
:13:27. > :13:30.financial impact on the whole of Wales, while the Department of Work
:13:31. > :13:37.and Pensions it talking about how it will affect particular households.
:13:38. > :13:41.Much more to come before 7pm. String of rescues - now experts warn
:13:42. > :13:44.of the risk of avalanches after two climbers are swept 1,000 feet down
:13:45. > :13:47.Snowdon. And why those botox injections to
:13:48. > :13:57.take away the wrinkles maybe causing depression.
:13:58. > :14:00.Your local council is unlikely to be reorganised this side of the next
:14:01. > :14:04.assembly election in two years time, so says the First Minister Carwyn
:14:05. > :14:06.Jones. Instead, he's called on councils to merge voluntarily,
:14:07. > :14:14.saying it would be in their interests to do so. Our Political
:14:15. > :14:19.Editor Nick Servini is here, Nick, how significant is this?
:14:20. > :14:23.The Williams commission, if you remember, which was published last
:14:24. > :14:30.month, put forward a tomato reduction in the number of councils
:14:31. > :14:35.-- dramatic reduction, and to do it through a series of mergers. Carwyn
:14:36. > :14:38.Jones started talks with the opposition party leaders to try and
:14:39. > :14:43.fast-track the lawmaking bit of this before the next assembly elections
:14:44. > :14:46.and in a news conference this morning he pretty much admitted that
:14:47. > :14:49.will not happen, the lawmaking element will start after the next
:14:50. > :14:54.assembly elections and will not be completed until 2018. But he did say
:14:55. > :15:00.he will continue the talks with those parties to try and come to an
:15:01. > :15:06.agreement on the map, and idea of a physical, geographical structure of
:15:07. > :15:10.what it will look like. And off the back of that, to the local
:15:11. > :15:13.authorities and try to get them to merge voluntarily, saying it is in
:15:14. > :15:18.their interest to do so. This is what he had to say. I want to be
:15:19. > :15:21.able to be in a position before the summer where there is general
:15:22. > :15:27.agreement about what the map should look like that then offers the
:15:28. > :15:32.opportunity for local authorities to start the merger process
:15:33. > :15:38.voluntarily. But avoids years of uncertainty and the difficult of
:15:39. > :15:42.recruiting. If they merge knowing that the map is complete, we can
:15:43. > :15:46.move forward. How likely is it that he will get support for that?
:15:47. > :15:51.Politically, he needs to see this through. He has ramped up his
:15:52. > :15:55.rhetoric against councils in recent months. He is quite brutal when he
:15:56. > :16:01.talks about them. He talks about how he would not tolerate failures. It
:16:02. > :16:04.will be difficult, the political parties all have issues about things
:16:05. > :16:09.like costs, boundaries, voting reform, the councils themselves have
:16:10. > :16:14.issues. I suspect he will have to persuade the council 's that this is
:16:15. > :16:17.definitely going to happen and then he is some way towards getting those
:16:18. > :16:19.voluntary mergers that he is talking about.
:16:20. > :16:22.Walkers and climbers are being warned to take extra care in the
:16:23. > :16:26.mountains following a string of rescues in Snowdonia at the weekend.
:16:27. > :16:29.Experts say there's a high risk of avalanche after a couple was
:16:30. > :16:33.swept1,000 feet down the mountain by one on Saturday. Another walker fell
:16:34. > :16:36.200 feet after a snow cornice he was walking on collapsed. Roger Pinney
:16:37. > :16:40.reports. These photographs give an idea of
:16:41. > :16:45.what it is like high on Snowdon. They were taken during a rescue on
:16:46. > :16:48.Saturday. This one clearly shows the track of a massive avalanche which
:16:49. > :16:54.swept one Walker 1000 feet down the mountain. Snow on Snowdon at this
:16:55. > :17:00.time of year is not unusual but the moment it is said to be particularly
:17:01. > :17:04.unstable. This is one of the most popular starting off points for
:17:05. > :17:08.walkers going up Snowdon. And you do get an idea of how deceptively
:17:09. > :17:11.conditions are. Down here, there is no snow and it is not even
:17:12. > :17:18.particular the cold. Upon the mountain, the snow starts at 500
:17:19. > :17:22.metres. By the time you get to 800 metres, it is deep. These walkers
:17:23. > :17:27.today turned back. They did not feel safe enough to carry on. Just a bit
:17:28. > :17:31.silly to go any further. The majority of people got to where we
:17:32. > :17:36.were and they turned around as well. The wardens were heading up to see
:17:37. > :17:41.if anyone had gone any further. I think we did the right thing in
:17:42. > :17:45.turning round. This video shows a scene which would not be out of
:17:46. > :17:48.place in the Alps. Team members use a rope to bring a
:17:49. > :17:56.casualty down the mountain after an avalanche. This man says at times
:17:57. > :18:04.conditions at the weekend were atrocious.
:18:05. > :18:11.One of our chaps went through, he was rope at and he went through the
:18:12. > :18:20.cornice. It is a significant risk to them, especially in the wind and the
:18:21. > :18:25.reduced visibility. The most important thing is to have a really
:18:26. > :18:31.good quality walking winter boot. The National mountain centre trains
:18:32. > :18:36.people in the skills they need to keep safe in these conditions, as
:18:37. > :18:39.well as probables, crampons and an ice axe are essential, they say. --
:18:40. > :18:40.probably is. Anti-aging injections, like Botox, have
:18:41. > :18:47.But having your laughter lines done could lead to depression.
:18:48. > :18:57.It is the snow sitting there, and then the Walker putting their weight
:18:58. > :19:02.on it is enough to put it into action. Rescuers say if you survive
:19:03. > :19:06.an avalanche, you can count yourself lucky. The conditions in the
:19:07. > :19:11.mountains can change by the hour. Anti-ageing injections like Botox
:19:12. > :19:15.have become the most popular form of cosmetic treatment in the UK. But
:19:16. > :19:18.having your laughter lines den could lead to depression. A study by
:19:19. > :19:21.Cardiff University reveals a link between the areas of the face where
:19:22. > :19:24.the injections are targeted and the psychological effects experienced by
:19:25. > :19:30.people who've had the treatment. Carwyn Jones reports.
:19:31. > :19:35.This woman from Cardiff has been having Botox injections for ten
:19:36. > :19:38.years. The procedure takes just a few minutes. Three injections around
:19:39. > :19:43.each eye. This needle contains a powerful toxin which smooths out
:19:44. > :19:49.lines and wrinkles are paralysing muscles in the face. It makes you
:19:50. > :19:55.feel better in yourself. Makes you feel happy, cheers you up a bit.
:19:56. > :20:01.Around 200,000 injections are carried out each year. They change
:20:02. > :20:06.how we look on the outside but do they also affect how we feel on the
:20:07. > :20:09.inside? Research by psychologists at Cardiff University has found that
:20:10. > :20:14.people who have treatment on their forehead attentive you happier
:20:15. > :20:20.because the face is unable to form frown lines. But injections for
:20:21. > :20:25.crows feet around the eyes have the opposite effect. People feel
:20:26. > :20:29.depressed and that is because the facial muscles cannot form a true
:20:30. > :20:32.smile. The results were measured using a clinical scale for
:20:33. > :20:37.depression and the findings were stark. Laughter lines, the early
:20:38. > :20:43.data seems to indicate that this kind of treatment can reduce people
:20:44. > :20:49.'s ability to smile and makes people less happy. Cosmetic injections are
:20:50. > :20:53.the most popular form of treatment at this clinic in Cardiff. Over the
:20:54. > :20:57.years, this woman has noticed more and more customers having Botox to
:20:58. > :21:01.give them the outward appearance of happiness. Very often, they come in
:21:02. > :21:07.because they are aware that they are frowning a lot or that they are
:21:08. > :21:11.looking miserable and they feel that other people judge them for it. And
:21:12. > :21:16.they want to look like a brighter, happier version of themselves, the
:21:17. > :21:20.kind of person they would like to project. In the UK, the cosmetic
:21:21. > :21:25.sieges industry is booming. Its turnover has turned wood macro
:21:26. > :21:39.increased fivefold in the last ten years as old -- in the last ten
:21:40. > :21:41.years. Rugby, football and Winter Olympics now.

:21:48. > :21:50.with France. There are no fresh injuries but there was confirmation
:21:51. > :21:53.today that Jonathan Davies won't be in contention for Friday night, the
:21:54. > :21:56.Lions centre hasn't fully recovered from injury. Warren Gatland will
:21:57. > :21:59.name his side to face France on Wednesday. Behind the scenes, some
:22:00. > :22:02.positive signs tonight of a resolution in the on-going rugby
:22:03. > :22:05.row. Chief Executive Roger Lewis says there are more talks tomorrow
:22:06. > :22:10.and he's hopeful the matter can be sorted before the end of the Six
:22:11. > :22:13.Nations campaign. The certainty that everyone has been
:22:14. > :22:18.seeking for a Europe and for competitions is close to resolution.
:22:19. > :22:22.I will be back up in London tomorrow with my colleagues from France and
:22:23. > :22:26.Ireland and England. We have a small working party to put the flesh on
:22:27. > :22:29.the bones of what we discussed last week. Personally, for the
:22:30. > :22:33.competitions, I would like to resolve it by the end of the Six
:22:34. > :22:36.Nations. But it will take as long as it takes because we have to get the
:22:37. > :22:39.right resolution, the right decision, the right outcome for
:22:40. > :22:42.rugby. The latest big football event to come to Wales will be worth
:22:43. > :22:45.hundreds of thousands of pounds to the local economy, according to the
:22:46. > :22:49.Welsh Government. The Cardiff City Stadium will host the Super Cup in
:22:50. > :22:52.August, a match between the winners of the Champions League and Europa
:22:53. > :22:55.League. Two former trophy winners, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Kevin
:22:56. > :22:59.Ratcliffe, were on hand for today's official launch. The FA of Wales
:23:00. > :23:04.hopes it will boost Cardiff's chances of being a host city for the
:23:05. > :23:07.European Championships in 2020. Swansea City and Cardiff City can
:23:08. > :23:12.now concentrate on avoiding relegation after getting knocked out
:23:13. > :23:15.of the FA Cup in the fifth round. Despite Jonathan de Guzman's header,
:23:16. > :23:18.Swansea lost 2-1 at Everton, after Neil Taylor's ill-judged back pass
:23:19. > :23:22.let in Stephen Naismith to score the winner. Cardiff also lost 2-1 to Cup
:23:23. > :23:29.holders Wigan. Midfielder Gary Medel tore a muscle in the defeat and
:23:30. > :23:31.could be out for several weeks. Former Swansea City manager Michael
:23:32. > :23:36.Laudrup will speak publically about his sacking for the first time
:23:37. > :23:40.tomorrow. The Dane, who led Swansea to the League Cup title in his first
:23:41. > :23:43.season in charge, is holding a press conference in London. He was
:23:44. > :23:48.dismissed by the club two weeks ago and is now considering whether to
:23:49. > :23:52.take legal action. At the Winter Olympics in Russia,
:23:53. > :23:57.Welsh born skater Lloyd Jones was in action earlier, competing for France
:23:58. > :24:01.in the Free Dance final. He finished 15th. The 25-year-old, who's from
:24:02. > :24:08.Whitchurch in Cardiff, moved abroad for a new partner and better
:24:09. > :24:11.facilities. Another Welshman, Bruce Tasker from Manobier, is part of
:24:12. > :24:15.Great Britain's four man bobsleigh team. He's arrived in Sochi, excited
:24:16. > :24:20.and ready to compete for a medal. He starts his bid for Olympic glory on
:24:21. > :24:24.Saturday. Great to finally be here. We are
:24:25. > :24:29.soaking up the environment and getting it out of our system before
:24:30. > :24:33.we focus on the job in hand. It is just another race. Yes, it is the
:24:34. > :24:39.Olympic Games, it is the pinnacle of our sporting career but the rules do
:24:40. > :24:44.not change, the competitors do not change. We are not changing
:24:45. > :24:50.anything. Got to be brave to do that event.
:24:51. > :24:54.Brave man. Now, the weather forecast.
:24:55. > :25:00.Some good news. I'm not expecting any big storms this week which makes
:25:01. > :25:04.a change. Mind you, it's not going to be completely dry with further
:25:05. > :25:07.rain and heavy showers at times. And given the ground is so wet and
:25:08. > :25:09.saturated, relatively small amounts of rain could lead to further
:25:10. > :25:13.localised flooding, especially in the south. We've all seen some rain
:25:14. > :25:17.today spreading north across the country. The rain heaviest on the
:25:18. > :25:24.high ground in the south with around 20mm. This evening rain will clear.
:25:25. > :25:30.Followed by a few scattered showers but a lot of places becoming dry.
:25:31. > :25:33.The wind falling light with lowest temperatures four to seven Celsius.
:25:34. > :25:40.Here's the picture for 8am. A grey start in places with some low cloud,
:25:41. > :25:44.mist and hill fog. One or two showers here and there, otherwise
:25:45. > :25:48.most of the country dry. Light winds and not too cold. During the day,
:25:49. > :25:51.the low cloud and mist will lift. It will brighten up in places with
:25:52. > :25:55.sunshine. You may catch a shower but these few and far between. A lot of
:25:56. > :25:58.places will enjoy a dry afternoon. Top temperatures seven to ten
:25:59. > :26:05.Celsius. Above average for February with a light west to south-westerly
:26:06. > :26:08.breeze. Moderate on some coasts. Tomorrow evening dry for a while but
:26:09. > :26:11.some showery rain will spread across the country later in the evening and
:26:12. > :26:16.overnight. Wednesday showery rain first thing will clear. Most of the
:26:17. > :26:21.day then dry. Plenty of cloud but bright in places with some sunshine.
:26:22. > :26:26.Overnight into Thursday. More rain on the way. So a wet and windy start
:26:27. > :26:31.on Thursday. The rain clearing to sunshine and showers. Friday windy
:26:32. > :26:43.and chilly with sunshine and squally showers. Hail and thunder possible.
:26:44. > :26:46.Wintry on high ground with snow. Our picture tonight is from Louise
:26:47. > :26:49.Rixon. Sunshine in the Brecon Beacons yesterday. Thanks, Louise.
:26:50. > :26:51.More rain and showers on the way this week but I can promise some dry
:26:52. > :27:02.weather and sunshine as well. To write headlines. The war of words
:27:03. > :27:06.over the future of Scotland has intensified. Alex Salmond has said
:27:07. > :27:10.that mocking an independent Scotland's ability to share the
:27:11. > :27:14.pound could damage business in the rest of the UK -- blocking. Lastly,
:27:15. > :27:19.George Osborne said they vote for independence meant walking away from
:27:20. > :27:23.the pound -- last week. Pinewood Studios will open a new
:27:24. > :27:28.facility in Cardiff. The Welsh Government says the deal could
:27:29. > :27:32.generate around ?90 million and support 2000 jobs over five years.
:27:33. > :27:34.X Ray is coming up in 30 minutes. Here's Lucy and Rhodri with what's
:27:35. > :27:39.in tonight's programme. Tonight, we go undercover to expose
:27:40. > :27:47.the trading shoddy counterfeit goods which is sweeping through Wales.
:27:48. > :27:52.And how would you claim compensation if you're car is damaged by a
:27:53. > :27:57.pothole? All that and more. I'll have an
:27:58. > :28:00.update for you here at 8pm and after the BBC News at Ten.
:28:01. > :28:02.That's Wales Today. Thank you for watching. From all of us on the
:28:03. > :28:04.programme, good evening.
