Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: Major concerns over the | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
care and safety of heart patients in Mid and West Wales. Consultants say | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
standards are "very poor". They should be making sure that the care | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
they provide is the best possible care that they can provide for their | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
local patient population. Where that has not happened, then, of course, | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
that is something as minister I very much regret. | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
Also tonight: Time out of school to follow other interests. Changes on | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
the cards for our national curriculum. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Carl Nolan died from liver disease but wasn't told he had the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
condition. Four years on, his sister says the family still need answers. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
We shouted really loudly for Carl when he was ill. And nothing | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
happened. What hope has anyone got really? | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
They're best known for amassing one of Britain's greatest art | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
collections. Now the little known story of the Davies sisters and the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
role they played during the First World War. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Good evening. There are more concerns tonight about the care and | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
safety of hospital patients with the spotlight this time on heart | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
patients in West Wales. Hywel Dda University Health Board asked the | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Royal College of Physicians to look at its cardiology services after a | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
number of concerns were raised by doctors and patients. The report | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
says resources are "stretched" across four hospitals, with some | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
cardiologists describing the care patients receive, as "very poor". | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
The panel also has "major concerns" about the way the health board's | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
hospitals gather statistics about the number of people dying from | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
heart disease. Its recommendation is centralising cardiac services at one | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
hospital, Glangwili in Carmarthen. Steffan Messenger reports. | :02:08. | :02:19. | |
Patient care in mid and West Wales has barely been out of the headlines | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
this month. We have seen protest against plans to centralise | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
specialist A provision as well as care for newborn babies. It seems | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
more services could be on the move. At the moment, heart patients can be | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
cheated at any of the four district hospitals. They can see a consultant | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
in Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest, Llanelli or Carmarthen. According to | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
the Royal College of physicians that is unsustainable. Difficult | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
recruiting staff means are stretched too thinly with some consultants | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
working all hours to meet targets. The review heard that the care | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
patients receive his pool. The answer, it says, is to create a | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
heart disease hope from -- in Glangwili. A consultant cardiologist | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
should be available in every hospital at least one day a week. We | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
recognise everything they say in the report. We will need to -- have a | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
programme board which I will be chairing to consider these | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
recommendations along with the recommendations that we have to use | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
to design our services and then we will be taking the action plan to | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the public ward meeting in May. Major concerns were reported on high | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
death rates for heart disease in with the Bush hospital. The health | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
board says there were mistakes with healthy data was collected. The four | :03:50. | :04:01. | |
campaign is already fighting to protect local services, the idea | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
that more could be lost from three hospitals has come as a bitter blow. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
These recommendations and an expected, out of the blue and that | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
will leave people in Ceredigion without direct close access to | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
cardiac services that are so critical to saving lives. It'll cost | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
a huge amount of concern in the communities that I represent. Her | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
world fly University health board has stressed that no decisions have | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
yet been made. -- how well the. Our health correspondence has been | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
speaking to the health minister, Mark Drakeford, and asked him how | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
will it hears about cardiology services in mid and West Wales. This | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
is a report commissioned by the local health board. It is aware that | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
challenges in cardiology services in that part of Wales. It is for the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
health board to discuss those reports with its clinicians and with | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
its patients. They should be making sure that the care they rip -- they | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
provide is the best care they can provide for their local patient | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
population. Where that has not happened then of course that is | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
something, as minister, I very much regret. What we have to say to | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
people in Wales, patients as well as health boards, is that they have to | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
have a mature conversation about the way in which services in the modern | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
health world are best provided. We cannot say to people with honesty | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
that we can provide all services everywhere of the standard we would | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
like to provide. Since you took the reins as health minister, we have | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
seen your grappling with many stories involving concerns about | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
patient safety. This allows prove the case then has to be a wider look | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
on how safe the NHS is. Weather is evidence of something going wrong we | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
will want to take an independent and third-rate look at those | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
circumstances. We need to look at them. I will not allowed the | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
exceptional to be cheated as though it were the rule. Has been a chorus | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
of criticism about your record on handling the NHS particularly from | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Westminster. Today we had the Deputy Prime Minister joining in the claims | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
that diagnostic waiting times was longer in Wales. In the last few | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
weeks there has been a concerted attempt by the Conservative Party in | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
London to drag the reputation of the Welsh NHS. They are not alone in | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
criticising! They are much in the lead of it. They have a particular | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
agenda. Believe me, then agenda is nothing to do with patient care here | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
in Wales. Your message to patients is the NHS is as safe as it can be. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Where things go wrong, and the do go wrong, they go wrong in any | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
organisation that employs 80,000 he polled, has 19 million appointments, | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
carries out 18 million tests every day on a population of 3 million | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
people, they will be instances where things go wrong and where the do we | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
attend to those and we learn the lessons of them. The message I must | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
give, and it is my job is to stand up for the NHS in Wales, with cannot | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
allow its reputation to be this merged by regarding the exceptional | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
events are things going wrong as typical of the bigger picture. -- to | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
be this merged. The Health Minister Mark Drakeford | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
speaking to Owain Clarke. The day's other news now. A former | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
Conservative Party councillor has told a court he saw a man "thrashing | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
about" trying to get free from the Swansea-born MP, Nigel Evans, on a | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
night out in Blackpool. Mark Famosa told Preston Crown Court he had to | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
push Mr Evans, seen here in the dark suit, off the alleged victim in a | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
bar during the 2003 Party Conference. Mr Evans denies one | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
count of rape, two of indecent assault and six of sexual assault. | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
A man involved in the death of Cardiff teenager Karen Price 25 | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
years ago has been invited to appeal against his conviction. 48-year-old | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Idris Ali admitted manslaughter in 1994, after the 15-year-old | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
disappeared from a children's home. His case is one of a number referred | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
to the court of appeal because of concerns about techniques used by | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
South Wales Police at the time. The way schools teach our children | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
could change significantly in future. The Welsh Government has | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
announced a fundamental review of the whole curriculum in Wales. The | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
Education Minister Huw Lewis has told BBC Wales he'd be keen to see | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
some pupils in year eight and nine take some time out of school to | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
follow personal interests. Here's our education correspondent, Arwyn | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
Jones. Which of these different subjects | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
should get most attention on the curriculum? How we are equipping our | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
children with the skills they need for the 21st-century? After several | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
reviews into different subjects from the art to 80 reported back to the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
Welsh Government, the Education Minister has decided to look at the | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
whole lot. This man has been tasked to review our curriculum. It is | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
ensuring the -- preparation for the more formal period in Key stage four | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
is built progressively. We need to build towards that. One idea from | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
the Education Minister is that 13 and 14 euros could be able to follow | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
their own interests duelling school time made the off school property | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
for stock 13 and 14-year-olds. Could we inspire people better? Can we | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
unleash their enthusiasm is a little more? Can we remove the straitjacket | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
of the school timetable from around them? Let's see what kind of answers | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
we come up with. We have two square this with practicalities of | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
delivery. Museums and universities could be asked to help pupils | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
nurtured their interests. It could be one day a week according to the | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Minister and businesses could also be involved. Members Tevez but is a | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
gap between the real-life skills young people have. -- members tell | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
us. Any steps such as this to close that gap, to provide meaningful work | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
experience for learners in the real world of work with the welcome by us | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
and our members. The current curriculum has been around since the | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
end of the 80s that after a turbulent spell for our schools do | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
they want a calmer period? It is happening in the midst of other | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
developments. There is a need to look at it. If we take time and get | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
it right we can avoid that turbulence as long as everyone is | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
involved in the process. Nobody would deny that is a need to look at | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
the curriculum. Between now and the end of the year all subjects will be | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
considered. The curriculum could look very different in future. A | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
development tonight in the story of the disappointing GCSE results for | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
English language exams sat in January. Heads from every school in | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Rhondda Cynon Taff have written a joint letter to the Education | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Minister, outlining their concerns. You have a copy of the latter. What | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
does it tell you? It is on the half of 19 secondary schools and on | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
average those schools where pupils sat this English-language GCSE and | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
generally, they saw a 25% drop in the number of pupils gaining eight | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
seat grade above. They say they are worried that the results have | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
impacted the progress and attitude of a whole cohort of students are | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
stuck the extremely worried students and parents are losing faith in a | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
once reliable examination system and there is an erosion of parents faith | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
in teachers. They ask that all pupils who sat this result to | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
research them in the summer free of charge and also there should be a | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
rethink of how this English-language UCSC is all about in future. A | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
stronger stance from the Education Minister. He said he won't jump to | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
conclusions that will focus on hard evidence and not hearsay and rumour. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
Then I Welsh Government officials looking at what went wrong, where | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
did it go wrong and how could it be avoided. That review will report | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
back at the end of the month. The WJEC have also conducted an internal | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
review and that will report back next week. | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
Still to come before seven o'clock. 30 years since the Miner's Strike. | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
The view from those whose lives were changed forever three decades on. | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
The family of a man who died following what was described as one | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
of the worst examples of poor treatment in the Welsh NHS in recent | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
years, has accused a medical watchdog of refusing to take action | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
against some of the doctors responsible for his care. Carl Nolan | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
died from liver disease but wasn't told for seven years he had the | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
condition. Last year the Public Service Ombudsman produced a damning | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
report, but the family say complaints to the General Medical | :13:40. | :13:47. | |
Council are going nowhere. Carl Nolan was 30. We shouted really | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
loudly for him when he was ill. Nothing, nothing happened. The | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
emotions are still raw. Nearly four years after Carl Nolan died, his | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
family feel they are not getting anywhere. People have got to be | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
accountable, we have all accountable. They had made some | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
dreadful, dreadful errors. They have to be brought to task about it. He | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
was born with liver disease, tests he had that Ann Clwyd hospitals in | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
2001 that the condition but neither he nor his family were told until | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
almost seven years later. In 2010 his liver was failing and was rushed | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
to Glan Clwyd but was rushed home several times before eventually been | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
referred to a specialist unit in Birmingham and put on a transplant | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
list. He died a few weeks later. In October, the ombudsman told Wales | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
today poor care throughout had the nine the 30-year-old chances to | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
survive and flourish. -- had denied. There was shock that our | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
investigation found. This is one of the worst examples of poor treatment | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
and communication with the patients I have encountered. With the | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
ombudsman 's backing, Carl 's family complained to the General medical | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
Council. The GMC's replies said it hasn't been able to identify one of | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
them and can't investigate another because he is no longer practising. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
It will look at to more because the offence took place more than five | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
years ago. Complaint against two other doctors are being looked at. | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
They have a discretion to investigate outside the five year | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
time limit and some of the omissions in this case occurred in any event | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
in 2010. We could have gone to a lowly -- lawyer and sue the hospital | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
but we didn't do that. We do not want to get a sum of money but we | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
wanted to change. We don't want anyone else to go through what we | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
went through. The Betsi Cadwaladr health board says no staff have been | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
disciplined or dismissed as a result of the Carl Nolan case. The GMC says | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
it does not comment on individual cases. Carl Nolan's family and not | :16:14. | :16:21. | |
satisfied. They know what went wrong with his care and they are not | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
convinced it will not happen to someone else. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Today marks 30 years since the start of the national miners' strike, one | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
of the longest, most divisive industrial disputes in British | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
history. At the time, more than 20,000 men in Wales worked in the | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
coal industry. Three decades on, the strike still resonates with former | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
miners, their families and children. Carwyn Jones reports. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
It was the last deep mine in the Rhondda Valley. Today, all that | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
remains of Maerdy Colliery are the floor tiles of the old canteen. | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
Trevor Morgan worked this pit for 16 years. It's the first time he's been | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
back since it was demolished. Nothing here, just memories. Some | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
good, some bad. On the 12th March 1984, nearly 300 Maerdy miners, | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
including Trevor, downed tools and went on strike. A lots of us | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
realised they were was something we could not win. It was never | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
envisaged we could win it but at the same team it was nothing else we | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
could do. If we sat back and did nothing we were going to go anyway. | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
The miners' strike became a battle of ideas which split the nation. It | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
even divided those on the picket lines. Although the miners of South | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Wales stood firm, there was growing unease at how NUM leader Arthur | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
Scargill was steering the dispute. Had he gone to meetings we could | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
have gone back in the November and won 80% of what we wanted. He wanted | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
outright fixedly and we were never going to get that. That is the dark | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
side. Within weeks it became clear that a quick resolution to the | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
dispute was no longer on the cards. With 21,000 men in Wales out of | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
work, it fell to their wives, mothers and daughters to sustain the | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
strike. Kay Bowen was a mother of four and during the strike she ran | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
the food distribution network for the Neath, Dulais and Swansea | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Valleys supporting more than 1,000 families. We weren't getting wages | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
coming in and yet you still had the expenses. He still had the food, the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
electricity, the water, everything to pay for. There were lots of | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
people that sense donations of food. It went to one central point and we | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
had a satellite system from their outer to each village. After the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
strike it's made you think, I don't want to just be a housewife is that | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
I don't want to just sit back and look after the children. I want | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
something a bit more. Very few children of mining families would | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
grow up to follow their fathers and grandfathers underground. Dean | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Cawsey was five at the time of the strike. His father worked at | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Bleanant colliery. Today Dean works here, at the old mining offices in | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
Banwen in the Dulais valley. I remember being ten years of age and | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
my father then still working in the coal industry, working in the local | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
wash early. He dreamt into me how important education was in order to | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
give yourself the most choices in life are the best chance in life. In | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
March 1985, after a bitter 12 months, the miners returned to work. | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
30 years on, the dispute still casts a long shadow over communities | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
across Wales. BBC Cymru Wales and the Arts Council | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
of Wales are joining together to find new Welsh musical talent. | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
Unsigned artists and bands can apply online. 12 will be picked and | :19:52. | :20:00. | |
showcased on radio and festivals over the next year. The Horizons | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
project has won the support of Charlotte Church, who says, after | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
two years of releasing her own music she understands how difficult it can | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
be. Whilst it has been incredible and an | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
incredible experience, it has been really tough. It is difficult to try | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
to make a career in music from a cold start. We often get overlooked | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
in Wales a lot of people who want to become an artist or an in a band | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
feel they have to move to London. That is a shame. | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
The Davies sisters from Mid Wales are best known for amassing one of | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
the great British art collections of the 20th Century. But what's less | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
known is their pivotal role in the lives of the Belgian refugees and | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
soldiers during the First World War. Charlotte Dubenskji has been finding | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
out more. They are the sisters who gave the | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
nation one of the best collections of art in the world. Hanging on the | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
walls of National Museum Wales in Cardiff are works I Masters like Van | :21:02. | :21:09. | |
Gough, and Mornay. They are there because of Gwendoline Davies and | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
Margaret Davies. The sisters were brought up to believe they should be | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
great philanthropists. What is less known is that impulse to do good | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
bore fruit as war broke out in 1914. The sisters helped a number of | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
Belgian artist and their families to flee from the conflict and set up | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
life in Wales. This was their great project, when war broke out. He saw | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
the opportunity of bringing people to Wales who could inspire students | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
of art in Wales to raise the standard of art and craft in Wales. | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
This house on the outskirts of Aberystwyth was lived in by one of | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
the artists. He said his time here was prolific, painting many Welsh | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
landscapes. As the war progressed the sisters became actively involved | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
in the war effort. They went in 1916 to found a canteen for French | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
soldiers. They worked for the French Red Cross because they loved France, | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
they were fluent in French and it was something they could do. He led | :22:23. | :22:30. | |
the canteen, the sisters this doubt Coffey, soups and snacks full French | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
soldiers trudging towards the French lack -- from mine. The sisters | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
continued to add to their art collection. They visited galleries | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
on their days off. The generosity of the Davies sisters did not end with | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
the First World War. Their vast collection is now enjoyed by | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
hundreds of thousands of people every year and all because of two | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
sisters from mid Wales. Time for the weather now, Benny's | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
here. The tender just that they've reached | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
a high of 17 Celsius in North Wales making its warmer than I'd be fair. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
It did take its time to bright enough in the South East. We will | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
see is clouding over with some dense fog is going over with some dense | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
fog as we go into the overnight period. Temperatures dipping away | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
overnight. Thickening cloud and some dense fog along the border creating | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
poor visibility. Temperatures down to about two Celsius. Because | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
seasoned travel disruption tomorrow morning with the fog so leave plenty | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
of time if you are travelling. If you are flying from Birmingham I | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
would suggest you check before you go as they could be problems with | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
file. In Wales, the dense fog taking its time to lift and then some | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
brightness across much of Wales but who will see coastal fog lingering | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
on. Through tomorrow night, we do it all again. The cloud preforming and | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
some dense fog yet again into the early hours of Friday morning, poor | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
visibility and it is a call night. Temperatures getting down to two | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
Celsius. High-pressure remaining in charge as you go into the end of the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
week. This weather system is trying to sneak in. With that comes a lot | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
of clout as we head into Friday and the weekend. First thing Friday, it | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
is start with the spot of rain or drizzle possible for parts of | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Pembrokeshire and Cardigan Bay. It will write to them for a time and | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
feeling cooler with highs of 9-13dC. As we head into the weekend, a | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
breezy at exchange, north-westerly winds picking up and the cloudy | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
picture as well. If you are going to the rugby on Saturday take a extra | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
layer with you. At least it is try as we head into the weekend and for | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
the start of next week. Today's picture is of a beautiful scene. We | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
would like to see more of your victors. Please send them to us. And | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
outlook for the weekend, it is looking cloudier, breezy but mostly | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
dry. Looking good for Mark. -- March. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
Ed Miliband says a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU is | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
unlikely if Labour win the next election unless Brussels request | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
more powers. The Prime Minister said labour 's plan gives the British | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
people no choice and only the Conservatives would guarantee a | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
referendum. A review of heart patient care in West Wales has | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
recommended centralising services at Glangwili in Carmarthen. | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
The report by the Royal College of physicians describe the care | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
received by Cardiff patients in the area as varied work. | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
I'll be back with an update at 8.00pm and a full round up after the | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
