Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories. He was killed by the IRA in | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Hyde Park. Tonight his brother tells us he'll never get justice after the | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
man accused of the bombing walks free. | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
I just believe that is an end to it. We will never bring his killers to | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
justice. Also tonight, the bitter row engulfing Carmarthenshire | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
Council after damning reports by the spending watchdog. The leadership | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
under scrutiny after claims they acted unlawfully over money given to | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
their chief executive. acted unlawfully over money given to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
areas have received billions of pounds from the EU since 2000, so | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
why hasn't the economy caught-up with the rest of Britain? Charging a | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
new revolution in electric cars. Why so few of them are on our roads. | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Good evening. In tonight's sport. Will Swansea's European adventure | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
take them past Napoli tonight? We'll have the latest from Italy live. | :00:54. | :01:11. | |
Good evening. The family of a Welsh soldier killed in an IRA attack fear | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
they'll "never get justice" after a legal blunder meant the alleged | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
bomber has walked free. 19-year-old Corporal Jeffrey Young from | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Tonyrefail was killed in the 1982 Hyde Park blast. Today | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Tonyrefail was killed in the 1982 Minister David Cameron has ordered a | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
judge-led review into the matter. Nick Palit reports. | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
July 1982 and the community of Tonyrefail are out in force to | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
honour one of the four soldiers killed in the IRA bomb attack in | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
London's Hyde Park. Corporal Jeffrey Young from the Household Cavalry was | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
19 when he died. Seven days later he was buried with full military | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
honours on his 20th birthday. He left behind a wife, two daughters, | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
and a devastated family. We were all very proud of him. More than 30 | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
years on, his brother Vincent still has vivid memories of the day his | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
brother was killed by the IRA. He was -- it was like a blur. We | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
travelled to London. You could not see him because he was just | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
mummified in bandages. And then the next day, he died. John Downey was | :02:37. | :02:52. | |
due to stand trial at the Old Bailey for his part in the Hyde Park | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
bombing. He denied the charges and the trial was halted after his legal | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
team claimed he'd been issued with an official letter that gave | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
assurances that he wouldn't been tried. That had been part of the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Good Friday Peace Agreement. Now a political row is brewing over the | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
existence of these secret letters. We were not the only people who knew | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
about this, that the information about this was actually in the | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
political about this was actually in the | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
extent, within the public domain. Today Prime Minister David Cameron | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
ordered a judge led inquiry in to the letters. The Neath MP Peter | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Hain, who was the Northern Ireland Secretary for part of the time when | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
the letters were issued, defended the practice. It was a completely | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
lawful process and I think the victims who have suffered such | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
terrible trauma over the last few days with all sorts of accusations | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
being flung around, as if there has been something sordid or full on, I | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
think they need to be reassured that this was perfectly lawful. Back in | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
Wales, Jeffrey Young's family view news of the judge led inquiry with | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
cynicism. I just believe that is an end to it. We will never bring his | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
killers to justice. We were all very proud of him, all the family. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
killers to justice. We were all very ended up burying him on his 20th | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
birthday. It was very sad. "We're sorry - we made mistakes." | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
That's the message from the leadership of Carmarthenshire | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
council tonight after they voted to accept the recommendations of the | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
Wales Audit Office report that pension payments to its chief | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
executive Mark James were unlawful. Pembrokeshire council, which was | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
also criticised over their payments, has already agreed to accept the | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
report. Abigail Neal has more. Inside these four walls, a debate | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
has been raging all day. Councillors came to take their seats and with | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
the meeting broadcast over the web, some argued the scandal surrounding | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
their chief executive had seriously damage the council 's reputation. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
This council 's name has been dragged through the mud. The chief | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
executive is no longer at his desk, members are each other's throats, | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
valuable time has been wasted and redirected away from what we are | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
here to do, provide quality services. Today's event stem from a | :05:07. | :05:16. | |
report about cash given in view of employer pension contributions to | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
the Chief Executive 's of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Council, Mark James and Bryn Parry Jones. The report stated that cash | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
payments were unlawful. It also said a separate decision to pay for Mr | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
James' legal fight against a blogger was also unlawful. Carmarthenshire | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
Council spent more than ?26,000 helping him pursue a libel | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
counterclaim for comments made in a blog. On the issue of pensions, the | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
council admitted they were wrong. I am man enough to say sorry to anyone | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
who has been upset by it. But we have learned from it. You do not | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
always get everything right. The decision to cover the legal costs | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
was trickier. But in the end, they voted to accept the auditor 's | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
recommendations and agreed they would not do it again. The council | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
has accepted the recommendations in both reports. That is an end of it | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
from my point of view. It is not the end of it for the council. They have | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
some things to look at and we will be monitoring that very closely. A | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
Plaid Cymru Welsh and of no-confidence field. | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
Abigail is at the council's headquarters tonight. Does this | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
bring the issue to an end? It would seem so. Essentially what we saw | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
today was the first opportunity of the full council to question their | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
leadership about this issue of pension payments and legal payments | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
to their Chief Executive. And although we heard lengthy | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
discussions from the council 's executive board about why they did | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
it, and that they were acting in good faith, it came down in the end | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
to a straight vote, do we accept what the Wales audit say -- Wales | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Audit Office say or do we risk owing to court? By voting to accept the | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
recommendations, the auditor has confirmed it is the end of it from | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
his point of view. And what about this motion of no confidence? It is | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
not too surprising that the Plaid Cymru motion did not go through. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Although they are the largest party in this council, in a Labour | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
independent coalition, they do not hold the majority of the vote. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
Although they did not get this motion of no-confidence, it can be | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
said that they did the leadership a bloody nose because what has come | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
out of this now is a recommendation to establish a cross-party group to | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
look at governance within this council and certainly the leadership | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
of Plaid Cymru tonight are saying they are happy with that. They are | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
hoping this will improve decisions taken here and the way those | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
decisions are made. A deputy head teacher from Cardiff, who has | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
previously admitted secretly filming children in a toilet, has appeared | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
in court charged with 48 further offences. 47-year-old Gareth | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Williams, who's been suspended from his job at Ysgol Glantaf, faces 12 | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
further counts of voyeurism, six of which relate to the school. He also | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
faces charges of making and possessing indecent images of | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
children. He was remanded in custody. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
A drug to treat people with alcohol dependence has been approved by the | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
NHS here. Wales has followed Scotland by giving the go ahead to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
Nalmefene, which has been shown to more than halve the amount people | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
drink, when used alongside psychological support. It's thought | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
the drug could help some of the 140,000 people with alcohol | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
dependence in Wales. The drug hasn't been approved in | :08:56. | :09:05. | |
England yet. The leader of Anglesey council has | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
voiced his objection to a merger with Gwynedd Council. He told | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
members of the full council he would not accept a voluntary merger with | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
the neighbouring authority, as was proposed in a | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
council reorganisation. A man from Bridgend has been found | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
guilty of murdering his wife by strangling her with a dog lead. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Asiah Newton was found in the bedroom of her home in Pencoed last | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
July. Cardiff Crown court heard that she told Kelvin Newton she wanted a | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
divorce after meeting another man on holiday in Tunisia. | :09:34. | :09:42. | |
The Prime Minister has been meeting Conservative AMs in Downing Street | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
amid tensions within the party over its devolution policy. The meeting | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
takes place two weeks after the Welsh Tory leader, Andrew RT Davies, | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
sacked four members of his shadow cabinet for rebelling over the | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
transfer of income tax powers. Live now to Downing Street, and our | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock. | :09:57. | :10:08. | |
What brings you here? Jobs, prosperity. Not a crisis summit? | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
What crisis? David, no crisis summit, so what did | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
they find it awkward? This was a long planned annual meeting beast we | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
need Prime Minister and his Assembly Members but in politics, as in | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
comedy, timing is everything and it follows the fallout from the shadow | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
cabinet reshuffle and also differences between Andrew Arty | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Davis and the Secretary of State for Wales, David Jones. Their body | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
language suggests that those differences may go rather deeper | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
than the minutiae of fiscal devolution. There have been | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
questions from Downing Street in the run-up to this summit today, trying | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
to find out just what it led to, the departure of those four Cabinet | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
ministers -- shadow cabinet ministers. And the tensions between | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
the party in Wales and Westminster. I asked one Assembly Member, when is | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
your leader? And she replied, which one? That gets to the heart of their | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
recent problems. Andrew Davies and David Jones went into the meeting | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
separately with their various entourages but they emerged as one. | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
They gave a rare joint interview, this is what they said. We actually | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
have not got any differences. The position is, the draft Wales Bill | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
has been published and that is the form which the Bill will proceed. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
The Welsh select committee is reporting tomorrow and we will look | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
carefully at the recommendations. A policy we have announced is party | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
policy and I think we are agreed on that. This is a positive meeting, a | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
meeting of Assembly Members and the Secretary of State, and the Prime | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Minister, everyone making sure there is a strong conservative voice for | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Wales. That was a positive meeting we just had. The focus was very much | :12:10. | :12:18. | |
on jobs, concern about those jobs at the refinery in Milford Haven, the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
prospect of rail electrification and no one, apparently, mentioned those | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
sacked shadow cabinet members. You're watching Wales Today. Stay | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
with us. Plenty still ahead. Swansea on the scoresheet. We will have the | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
latest from Italy. And there's a mixture of rain, sleet | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
and snow on the way tonight. Snow for some of us, but not everywhere. | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
Stay tuned for a full forecast. Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has been | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
criticised for releasing higher than permitted levels of sewage into a | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
river in Wrexham. The company has been fined ?15,000 for deliberately | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
discharging waste into the River Clywedog when its overflow tanks | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
were full. It's the fifth time in the last five months the firm has | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
been prosecuted for failings at its sewage plants in North Wales. | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
Matthew Richards reports. Five Fords Sewage Treatment Plant | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
receives waste from across Wrexham, including the town's main industrial | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
estate. But following an audit by Natural Resources Wales, it emerged | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
that more raw sewage was being released into a nearby river than it | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
should. That's because its overflow tanks were full and an operational | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
decision was taken to pump the excess waste out. | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
decision was taken to pump the is the river, which is a tributary | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
of the River Dee. Because drinking water is taken from the River Dee, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
the water here is readily monitored and it was when samples were taken | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
from here in July 2012 at higher than normal levels of ammonium while | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
found. The levels were still within acceptable standards and there were | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
no ill effects on wildlife or people. But fining the company | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
?15,000 today the chairman of Wrexham magistrates said there was a | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
significant risk of harm. Dwr Cymru Welsh water runs 800 sewage | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
treatment plants like this one in Cardiff, fed by 19,000 kilometres of | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
sewer. Since the period in question ?23 million of improvements have | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
been made at the Five Fords plant to reduce the risk of a similar | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
incident. We have invested heavily at this plant in Wrexham in order to | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
high standards and this was a breach high standards and this was a breach | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
of consent on a technicality. It had no But Natural Resources Wales has | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
criticised Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for a series of failings at other sewage | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
works in North Wales. Impact on customers nor the environment. This | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
is the fifth prosecution of the company here, and the most serious. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
We work with them, as we do with any commercial company, to make sure | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
that they operate within the law and the environmental permits that they | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
have God. This is not the first time we have been in this situation. The | :14:56. | :15:04. | |
court heard how Natural Resources Wales weren't informed of the | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
company's decision to discharge the extra waste and the firm has | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
apologised for its failures in communication behind the case. | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
A key measure of economic performance from the European Union | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
suggests that Wales has fallen further behind the average of the | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
European Union. That is despite the country receiving billions of pounds | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
worth of funding from Brussels to help the economy. Our political | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
reporter Dan Davis joins me now. We have been on the slide since the | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
middle of the last decade. In other words, before the financial crisis, | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
before the recession. What we are looking at is and assessment of how | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the economy is in the nations and regions perform and the European | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
Union uses those figures to decide on funding. It is basically an | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
assessment on standard of living. If you imagine the average is 100%, we | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
can see who is above and below that line. In Wales in the year 2000, we | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
were 85% of the average. That went up to 90% over the next couple of | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
years but by 2011, it had come back down to 74%. We are looking in | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
particular at West Wales and the valleys. That region cover is -- | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
covers pretty much most of Wales. The same story again, raising | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
towards the middle of the decade but then going straight back down. | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
Since the year 2000, Wales has had just over ?4 billion worth of aid | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
from the European Union. As it happens, I was in Strasbourg this | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
week covering a meeting of the European Parliament where I met the | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
European Commissioner in charge of regional policy, in charge of all | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
this funding, and this is what he had to say. It is difficult to | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
assess but certainly the situation would be much worse result in the | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
structural funds, so I would that the structural fund | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
contribution has mitigated the problems of the crisis and I think | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
this is the message we have to pass. Not everyone agrees with that | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
assessment. Get bed is a vocal critic of the way this money has | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
been spent. He says the money has been wasted. Leanne Wood has said | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
there needs to be a review of this funding. The Welsh Government says | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
this data is from 2011. More recent data shows that the economy in Wales | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
is moving on the right track. When this funding was first announced, it | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
was announced as a once in a generation opportunity. We have had | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
a once in a generation recession since then. The question is has that | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
undone the work of all that money? Car manufacturers are producing more | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
of them. The Government is offering us grants to buy them, so why are | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
there so few electric cars on our roads? There are moves to get more | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
of us in Wales to switch from petrol engines to electric powered | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
vehicles. Opponents say the technology is still too expensive. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
But converts say electric cars bring environmental and economic benefits. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Iolo ap Dafydd reports. If you use motorway service | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
stations, you may have seen one of these, Japanese car manufacturing | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
Nissan and renewable energy company have paid to install them. There are | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
eight electric charge points along the M4 in South Wales. The ambition | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
is to have them on main roads all over Britain within two years. We | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
will have done 250 motorway charge points by the end of next year. How | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
long will it be be for you can drive 50 miles, 60 miles, in any part of | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Britain and you could come across a charging point like this? Maybe two | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
years from now. Currently power at motorway plug-in points is free. The | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
National trust in Wales is also keen to expand the number of charging | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
points. They have 26 plug-in sockets at their main site and another ten | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
will be installed next month. There are 28 million vehicles in Britain | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
but despite a government grant of up to ?5,000 to help pay for a new | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
electric car, sales have not yet taken off. There is an increase, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
almost 3800 grants given out last year. David Walker is a convert. The | :19:18. | :19:31. | |
book price is 28,000 but with the ?5,000 grant from the government and | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
the dealers that are quite keen to get the ball rolling on selling | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
electric cars, you can get another reduction of maybe 3000. You are | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
down towards 20,000. If you wanted to hire the batteries in | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
down towards 20,000. If you wanted rather than buy them out right, that | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
reduces it again by another ?5,000. Inside, the car is much quieter than | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
ordinary vehicles. David also has a petrol car but loses this -- uses | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
this car locally. We are in a rural area. Finding a charging point could | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
be a problem. But as people see more electric cars on the road, people | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
will start putting charging points in their own garages. According to a | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
website, there are around 50 charging points in Wales. But with | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
more than 1.7 million vehicles on our roads, there has been a modest | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
increase in vehicles powered electrically in the past six years. | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
People are not flocking to buy them and the reason is they are still | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
relatively expensive to purchase, even with the subsidy. They do not | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
know how much the money they will get for them when they go to sell | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
them second-hand. It seems until petrol prices increased radically, | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
we are not queueing up to buy electric cars just yet. Swansea City | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
hoping to make a bit of history tonight. Here's Claire with | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
tonight's sport. How are they doing? Good evening. So far, so good. Yes, | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
it's half time on Swansea City's biggest night in Europe. They're | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
looking to progress through to the last 16 of the Europa league. It was | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
all square after the first leg, which ended goalless. Tonight | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
they're in Napoli's own backyard. They kicked off at 6pm. Both sides | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
have had their opportunities but the breakthrough came for the home side | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
on 20 minutes. They have had more chances but Swansea got their | :21:24. | :21:24. | |
equaliser. And that is how chances but Swansea got their | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
half ended. Let's go live to Naples now and hear from our football | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
correspondent Rob Phillips, who is commentating on the game for BBC | :21:36. | :21:48. | |
Radio Wales. Yes, it is advantage Swansea City at | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
the moment because they have scored this away goal. The first leg a week | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
ago was goalless, any away score draw would be good enough for | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
Swansea City. Effectively, they are 45 minutes plus injury time from a | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
place in the last 16. That would be absolutely historic. And they have | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
played really well. It has been a terrific game. Yes, Natalie got the | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
opening goal but Swansea equalised and Wilfried Bony is causing all | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
sorts of problems. There are more goals in this. We have just seen a | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
Swansea goal again. Garry Monk is a man with a lot on his mind at the | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
moment. A huge night for the club. His fiancee is due to have twins at | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
any minute. Does he look extra energy? No, he looks fine. We were | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
talking to him about it as we travelled over and he said, she | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
understands that the job he has to do... I think they are due on | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Tuesday but if we are nervous now, imagine what it will be like in 45 | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
minutes' time. I hope his wife is coping fine. Garry Monk is otherwise | :23:10. | :23:10. | |
engaged at the moment. coping fine. Garry Monk is otherwise | :23:11. | :23:17. | |

Steven Caulker has been named in England 's 30 man squad for their | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
friendly against Denmark at Wembley next Wednesday. Caulker last | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
featured for England in the game with Sweden in November 2012 when he | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
scored a goal on his debut. The 22-year-old is one of eight | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
defenders in the named in the squad today. Welsh hopes at the Wales Open | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Snooker in Newport remain solely on the shoulders of former World | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Champion Mark Williams. The 39-year-old caused an upset | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
yesterday knocking world number one Neil Robertson out of the | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
tournament. Williams, who's now 18th in the world is back in action | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
tonight, taking on Marco Fu. His match starts at 7pm and you can | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
catch it over on BBC Two Wales. At the World Track Cycling | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
Championships in Columbia, Elinor Barker is hoping to match the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
success of Becky James in the women's Pursuit Team later. Great | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
Britain are favourite to win gold. James won a bronze medal in the Team | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Sprint last night, matching her performance last year. The | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
22-year-old from Abergavenny is also defending two individual titles. | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
Let's get the forecast now. And snow on the way for some of us, Derek. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
For some of us, yes, but not all. Don't get too excited. At the | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
moment, the greatest risk of snow will be in upland areas of south | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
Wales tonight and tomorrow morning. The Brecon Beacons could see five to | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
10cm. Two to four inches of snow. Low lying areas will have plain | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
rain. This evening dry for a while but heavy rain will spread into | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
south then Mid Wales overnight. Ten to 20mm of rain likely with snow on | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
higher ground above 300m. 1000 feet. Northern counties should stay dry. | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
Lowest temperatures zero to four Celsius. Here's the picture for 8am. | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
A mix of rain and sleet and snow in the southeast. Snow on higher | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
ground. Could be a bit tricky on some high level roads for a time. | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
Further north and west dry. No more than the odd shower. Feeling chilly | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
with a northerly breeze. During the rest of the morning the rain, sleet | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
and snow in the south-east will clear leaving a better afternoon. | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
Dry and brightening up with some sunshine. Feeling a bit chilly. Top | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
temperatures six to eight Celsius with a north-westerly breeze. Colder | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
on high ground. In Heads of the Valleys, sleet and snow will clear. | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
The afternoon dry and feeling cold. In Radnorshire tomorrow dry with a | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
high of six in Rhayader. Tomorrow night one or two showers | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
high of six in Rhayader. Tomorrow dry and cold. Mist and fog patches, | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
frost and a risk of ice. The forecast for Saturday is not clear | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
cut. At the moment, I'd go for some dry weather. Bright in places too | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
once any morning fog lifts. Perhaps some rain Saturday evening. Sunday | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
some dry weather and sunshine but rain is expected by the evening. The | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
wind picking up as well with snow on high ground. In the meantime, a | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
wintry mix of heavy rain, sleet and snow tonight and tomorrow morning | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
for mid Wales and the south. Most of the snow on the Brecon Beacons. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
Becoming dry and brightening up tomorrow afternoon. This winter is | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
the mildest since 2007, but we're in for a chilly start to March. | :26:31. | :26:53. | |
