Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines.

:00:00.:00:07.

Nurses say they are frustrated and demoralised following criticism by

:00:08.:00:11.

Labour MP Ann Clwyd. They're demanding a report into her

:00:12.:00:21.

husband's death be made public. We cannot continue to have this

:00:22.:00:25.

barrage of exposure within the media without actually knowing what is it

:00:26.:00:29.

that has gone so drastically wrong and wearies of the evidence and what

:00:30.:00:34.

action has been taken to hold anybody who was responsible to

:00:35.:00:36.

account. Tonight, Ann Clwyd tells us why she

:00:37.:00:40.

doesn't want the details to be published.

:00:41.:00:52.

Also tonight. Charges will be brought against the

:00:53.:00:56.

owner of Farmbox Meats in Ceredigion, accused of mislabelling

:00:57.:01:01.

goat as lamb. Storm damage to Welsh woodlands. The

:01:02.:01:11.

cost is estimated at more than a million pounds.

:01:12.:01:13.

In tonight's sport, they both desperately need points, but Cardiff

:01:14.:01:16.

and Swansea face stern opposition against the giants of Merseyside

:01:17.:01:19.

this weekend in the fight to stay in the Premier League.

:01:20.:01:23.

And pass it on - the hunt is on for players to join the North Wales

:01:24.:01:25.

Crusaders wheelchair rugby league team.

:01:26.:01:31.

Good evening. The Labour MP Ann Clwyd is tonight under pressure to

:01:32.:01:37.

allow an investigation into her husband's death to be made public.

:01:38.:01:41.

The Royal College of Nursing in Wales has told this programme staff

:01:42.:01:44.

feel demoralised and frustrated that Mrs Clwyd has refused to share a

:01:45.:01:48.

report looking at the care Owen Roberts received at the University

:01:49.:01:52.

Hospital of Wales. She claims her husband spent 27 hours on a trolley

:01:53.:01:55.

and was treated with coldness and indifference. Tonight, the Director

:01:56.:01:59.

of the RCN tells us it's crucial nurses and the public know what

:02:00.:02:08.

happened. We cannot continue to have this

:02:09.:02:13.

barrage of exposure within the media without actually knowing what is it

:02:14.:02:18.

that has gone so drastically wrong and wearies the evidence and what

:02:19.:02:22.

action has been taken to hold anybody who was to account.

:02:23.:02:28.

Realistically, we do need to have the health board and the complainant

:02:29.:02:32.

in gauging withers and if there are people to be held accountable, to

:02:33.:02:35.

look at that. Earlier today, our Welsh Affairs

:02:36.:02:38.

Editor Vaughan Roderick spoke to Ann Clwyd. He started by asking her why

:02:39.:02:43.

she is unwilling to release the report. The reason I said no and may

:02:44.:02:51.

continue to say no is that the process is not complete. But didn't

:02:52.:02:57.

you put these circumstances into the traveller domain yourself? Some of

:02:58.:03:03.

them, of course I did. It is important when you are discussing

:03:04.:03:07.

waiting times on trolleys to say they made my husband wait 27 hours

:03:08.:03:14.

on a trolley. I think that is very pertinent. Under the complaint

:03:15.:03:18.

procedure, if you are not satisfied with the initial response to your

:03:19.:03:22.

complaint, there is another road that you can go down and I am going

:03:23.:03:29.

down that road now. Can you understand the feelings of staff who

:03:30.:03:35.

may say, Ann Clwyd is publishing things that are detrimental to us,

:03:36.:03:39.

they may be other things in this report that are not detrimental. The

:03:40.:03:44.

people who asked for the information under the Freedom of information is

:03:45.:03:50.

apparently the Royal College of nursing in Wales. They are next door

:03:51.:03:57.

to the University Hospital. I am quite sure that the people at the

:03:58.:03:59.

Royal College of nursing already knew what some aspects of that

:04:00.:04:03.

report would because they would have been questioned about some of the

:04:04.:04:08.

allegations made about nurses. They are behaving like a trade union,

:04:09.:04:13.

protecting their members. Which they are allowed to do. Of course. Carwyn

:04:14.:04:22.

Jones was pretty dismissive of what you have been saying. He says,

:04:23.:04:29.

produce the evidence, we have not seen the evidence. Were you

:04:30.:04:33.

surprised at an attack like that? A little surprised. You know how many

:04:34.:04:38.

times I have talked about these issues publicly over the last year

:04:39.:04:43.

and a half, and particularly when in England I was doing a review into

:04:44.:04:51.

complaints procedures. 20% of the letters I got were from Wales. The

:04:52.:04:55.

majority of those were about University Hospital of Wales. Why

:04:56.:05:01.

not show them? Let me answer you. You cannot show under the Freedom of

:05:02.:05:10.

Information Act. You cannot show names and addresses. Do you think

:05:11.:05:14.

the University Hospital of Wales could be another Mid Staffordshire?

:05:15.:05:20.

Because of the figures I have seen in the past, there is cause for

:05:21.:05:24.

concern and all I have been asking for all along is a review by 70 like

:05:25.:05:32.

Sir Bruce Keogh who wrote to the Chief medical Officer and offered

:05:33.:05:37.

his assistance. He said he was concerned by the figures I had shown

:05:38.:05:41.

him and he told me it was a moral issue. Do we need a Welsh enquiry?

:05:42.:05:50.

Yes, I have said so for months. No doubt some people in your party will

:05:51.:05:55.

say, there is an election coming, it is going to be a tightly fought

:05:56.:06:00.

fight between Ed Miliband and David Cameron. Why are you helping David

:06:01.:06:06.

Cameron? I laugh about that. I am representing my constituents. I want

:06:07.:06:12.

what is best for them. There is never a right time to criticise

:06:13.:06:17.

something but there is a year to go until the election. I have been

:06:18.:06:21.

saying this for the past year and a half.

:06:22.:06:24.

Vaughan joins me now. How politically awkward is this for the

:06:25.:06:32.

Welsh government? This is hugely politically awkward for the Welsh

:06:33.:06:36.

government and there already are people within Labour in Wales who

:06:37.:06:40.

are saying that Carwyn Jones handled it very badly this week by seeming

:06:41.:06:46.

to attack Ann Clwyd. There are people saying that in the court of

:06:47.:06:49.

public opinion, the battle between a grieving widow and the first

:06:50.:06:54.

Minister, there is only one of those two people will feel sympathy with

:06:55.:06:59.

in this case. But it is also incredibly difficult, not just for

:07:00.:07:03.

the Welsh government but also for the health board in Cardiff. Hearing

:07:04.:07:09.

Ann Clwyd say that the University Hospital could be another Mid

:07:10.:07:13.

Staffordshire, you could imagine the effect on staff morale, on people

:07:14.:07:16.

who may be waiting to go into that hospital. They have issued a

:07:17.:07:20.

statement today saying they have reviewed a thousand case notes of

:07:21.:07:25.

deaths in the hospital to offer further reassurance to patients. As

:07:26.:07:31.

you heard from the Royal College of nursing, they are desperate for that

:07:32.:07:35.

report into the death of Owen Roberts to be published because they

:07:36.:07:37.

believe the public would get a full picture. They are not saying things

:07:38.:07:43.

did not go wrong, they say -- the public should be able to see what

:07:44.:07:47.

went wrong because Ann Clwyd decided to put this case into the public

:07:48.:07:52.

arena. But this row is unlikely to go away. Ann Clwyd says she will

:07:53.:08:00.

continue to speak out. She has had hundreds of e-mails, the vast

:08:01.:08:03.

majority supporting her for speaking out. The problem with the Welsh

:08:04.:08:07.

government has got is she wants to see what the opposition parties want

:08:08.:08:13.

to see, which is a full enquiry. The opposition parties are not going to

:08:14.:08:18.

let them go. The man likely to open the Welsh Conservative conference in

:08:19.:08:22.

a few weeks time is no other than the English Health Secretary. What

:08:23.:08:29.

is he coming to talk about? It is pretty easy to guess.

:08:30.:08:32.

Meanwhile, the Welsh government's Deputy Chief Medical Officer says

:08:33.:08:35.

Welsh hospitals are probably the most scrutinised and inspected of

:08:36.:08:39.

any in the UK. It comes as new statistics on hospital mortality

:08:40.:08:43.

rates are published. The Welsh Conservatives have renewed their

:08:44.:08:45.

call for an independent inquiry and Plaid Cymru say further

:08:46.:08:48.

investigation is needed into high mortality rates at Glangwili

:08:49.:08:50.

Hospital in Carmarthen and Neath Port Talbot Hospital. But Dr Chris

:08:51.:08:55.

Jones insists Welsh hospitals are becoming safer.

:08:56.:09:03.

We know that numbers will be higher in Wales than in England because all

:09:04.:09:07.

measures of mortality are higher in Wales. We don't have as healthy a

:09:08.:09:11.

population overall in Wales as in England. I think there are lots of

:09:12.:09:17.

measures that shows the NHS in Wales is providing excellent health care

:09:18.:09:20.

and it is improving continuously. I would rather people looked at those

:09:21.:09:22.

measures. In other news, two men from

:09:23.:09:25.

Ceredigion are facing charges relating to the mislabelling of

:09:26.:09:29.

meat. Dafydd Raw Rees, the owner of Farmbox Meats in Llandre, and Colin

:09:30.:09:32.

Patterson, a company representative, are accused of mislabelling goat

:09:33.:09:37.

meat as lamb or mutton. Last year, the business was raided by Food

:09:38.:09:41.

Standards Agency Officials. Cemlyn Davies has more.

:09:42.:09:45.

Farmbox Meats hit the headlines last February at the height of the horse

:09:46.:09:49.

meat scandal. This man, the company's owner, Dafydd Raw Rees,

:09:50.:09:52.

and Colin Patterson, who also worked here, were arrested on suspicion of

:09:53.:09:56.

fraud following a raid by Food Standards Agency officials. They

:09:57.:10:02.

were investigating claims horse meat was being sold on as beef. No

:10:03.:10:07.

charges have been brought in relation to that investigation and

:10:08.:10:13.

both men remain on bail. But they have now been told they'll be

:10:14.:10:16.

charged with offences relating to the mislabelling of goat meat as

:10:17.:10:21.

either lamb or mutton. 19 of the charges are to do with alleged

:10:22.:10:24.

offences contrary to the Food Safety Act. There's an additional charge of

:10:25.:10:29.

failing to comply with traceability requirements. The two men's

:10:30.:10:34.

solicitor has told the BBC his clients will contest the

:10:35.:10:39.

allegations. Meanwhile, two men from West Yorkshire have been accused of

:10:40.:10:42.

failing to comply with traceability requirements for horses slaughtered

:10:43.:10:48.

at their premises in Todmorden. The slaughterhouse's owner, Peter Boddy,

:10:49.:10:51.

is also facing a charge of one count of forgery relating to an allegedly

:10:52.:10:54.

falsified invoice for the sale of horse meat. In a statement, the CPS

:10:55.:11:01.

said it believes there's a realistic prospect of conviction and

:11:02.:11:03.

prosecution is in the public interest. All four men are due to

:11:04.:11:08.

appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court next month.

:11:09.:11:14.

A woman has denied seven charges relating to indecent images of

:11:15.:11:16.

children at Cardiff Magistrates' Court. The court heard the charges

:11:17.:11:21.

against Joanne Mjadzelics came to light as part of an investigation

:11:22.:11:24.

into Ian Watkins, the former singer in the band Lostprophets. Ms

:11:25.:11:28.

Mjadzelics will appear at Cardiff Crown Court next month.

:11:29.:11:32.

Customs officers have seized what is believed to be the largest haul of

:11:33.:11:36.

illicit alcohol discovered in Wales. A man from Cardiff has been

:11:37.:11:40.

arrested. More than ?169,000 worth of beer, wine and spirits was found,

:11:41.:11:49.

worth ?303,000 in lost duty and tax. A man has been arrested on suspicion

:11:50.:11:52.

of murder following the death of a man in the Grangetown area of

:11:53.:11:56.

Cardiff earlier this week. The body of David Alun-Lewis from Ystrad

:11:57.:11:59.

Mynach was found partially submerged in the River Taff. Police are

:12:00.:12:03.

currently searching the area for a weapon and are carrying out house to

:12:04.:12:09.

house inquiries. Nick Palit reports. In the shadow of the Millennium

:12:10.:12:11.

Stadium, the police investigation continues. Specialist divers

:12:12.:12:15.

searching the murky waters of the Taff for any clues to what happened

:12:16.:12:19.

here. Other officers combing the river bank and dense undergrowth

:12:20.:12:22.

along the waters edge in their search for the weapon that killed

:12:23.:12:28.

45-year-old David Alun-Lewis. His family in Ystrad Mynach describe him

:12:29.:12:32.

as a good, decent man, highly intelligent and a talented musician.

:12:33.:12:40.

He was found just before midnight on Wednesday, his body was found

:12:41.:12:45.

partially submerged in the water underneath this bridge. Police say

:12:46.:12:49.

he had significant head injuries and they are awaiting the results of a

:12:50.:12:52.

postmortem examination. Police today arrested a 28-year-old man on

:12:53.:12:56.

suspicion of murder. They say the last sighting of Mr Lewis was on

:12:57.:13:00.

CCTV with another man walking past this storage company onto the

:13:01.:13:03.

Penarth Road bridge. They're appealing for witnesses who may have

:13:04.:13:07.

seen Mr Lewis that night and say he was wearing a navy anorak, jeans and

:13:08.:13:10.

a light coloured baseball cap with Cross Hatch branding. We are really

:13:11.:13:16.

keen to establish whether any members of the public in the

:13:17.:13:22.

vicinity between 7:45pm and 11:50pm on Wednesday, March 19 may have

:13:23.:13:28.

seen, witness, heard any altercation or suspicious incidents on the bank

:13:29.:13:32.

of the river. Detectives have today been carrying out house to house

:13:33.:13:35.

inquiries in the Grangetown area. Residents on the street which faces

:13:36.:13:38.

the murder scene say they're shocked. For the past few months,

:13:39.:13:43.

there have been a lot of incidents going on, especially in that area

:13:44.:13:48.

where the body was found. It was awful because we were watching out

:13:49.:13:51.

of the window as the body was being removed. It was awful. To be outside

:13:52.:13:59.

your house, it was shocking. Though Mr Lewis lived with his parents in

:14:00.:14:02.

Ystrad Mynach, when in Cardiff he often stayed at the Huggard Centre -

:14:03.:14:06.

a night shelter for the homeless less than a mile from where his body

:14:07.:14:10.

was found. Police have set up an incident room at Cardiff Central

:14:11.:14:13.

Police Station. Still ahead tonight, fighting for

:14:14.:14:16.

their Premier League lives. Both need points. Can the managers at

:14:17.:14:20.

Cardiff and Swansea mastermind some magic this weekend against stern

:14:21.:14:23.

opposition? And wheelchair rugby league - we're

:14:24.:14:27.

live at this club in Flintshire as it tries to find new team members.

:14:28.:14:35.

As we head into the longer days of spring and summer, many of us would

:14:36.:14:41.

be looking forward to making use of what the woodlands of Wales have to

:14:42.:14:45.

offer. But it's been estimated that the winter storms have caused over a

:14:46.:14:48.

million pounds worth of damage with thousands of trees knocked down in

:14:49.:14:52.

the winds. And there's been an impact too on visitor attractions.

:14:53.:14:57.

Roger Pinney has been to Coed y Brenin near Dolgellau to find out

:14:58.:15:02.

more. You will probably remember this. And

:15:03.:15:08.

what about this? The storms which wreaked havoc on the coast also left

:15:09.:15:13.

a trail of destruction through our woodland. Massive trees flattened

:15:14.:15:20.

like matchsticks. Clearing the damage is a massive task, not just

:15:21.:15:26.

here but across the country. Thousands of trees were felled in

:15:27.:15:31.

the storms and don't forget, many Welsh forests are important tourist

:15:32.:15:36.

draws. This is the worst I have seen in my career. The district manager

:15:37.:15:43.

of the forestry arm of Natural Resources Wales says staff have been

:15:44.:15:48.

at full strength. It is going to take as several months if not years

:15:49.:15:53.

to get back to the position we were before the storm. In some ways, it

:15:54.:15:58.

has caused us a lot of work but it does give us advantages in some

:15:59.:16:03.

respects. It enables us to reconvert this back to a native woodland. Wood

:16:04.:16:09.

from the trees will eventually be sold so their value is not lost.

:16:10.:16:15.

More worrying is the damage caused to the tourist attractions. This

:16:16.:16:19.

tangle of wires was a high ropes course, and attraction with last

:16:20.:16:25.

year brought in 15,000 visitors. 90% of it has been flattened. The course

:16:26.:16:31.

is unlikely to reopen this year. Mountain bikers have had better

:16:32.:16:35.

luck. One by one, their trails have been reopened and it is hoped they

:16:36.:16:41.

will all be in use again soon. There are massive trees which are all

:16:42.:16:46.

down. It is a complete mess. Lots of tree damage. But it looks like they

:16:47.:16:55.

are doing a good job of getting the trails open. It attracts around

:16:56.:17:02.

170,000 visitors a year. There are walking trails as well. They are

:17:03.:17:08.

important to the local community with bed and breakfast. It really is

:17:09.:17:12.

a battle to get as much of it going as possible? It is a battle we are

:17:13.:17:17.

starting to win but it is going to be ongoing for a couple of months.

:17:18.:17:23.

Natural Resources Wales thinks the damage caused is worth ?2 million.

:17:24.:17:28.

One way or another, we will be counting the cost of the storms for

:17:29.:17:31.

some time yet. The number of people with scarlet

:17:32.:17:35.

fever has increased, with 139 cases recorded in Wales since January.

:17:36.:17:39.

That's double the number seen during the same period last year. Swansea

:17:40.:17:43.

has the highest number of cases, with 24 people affected. Scarlet

:17:44.:17:46.

fever can bring on a high temperature and a pink-red rash, but

:17:47.:17:50.

it's treatable with antibiotics. BBC Wales' headquarters in Cardiff

:17:51.:17:53.

will not be listed, paving the way for the corporation to move to new

:17:54.:17:57.

premises. Cadw, the body responsible for protecting buildings, had been

:17:58.:18:00.

asked to consider listing the building in the Llandaff area. The

:18:01.:18:04.

final decision was made by the Culture Minister. BBC Wales has put

:18:05.:18:09.

the site up for sale as part of plans to move its broadcasting base.

:18:10.:18:12.

Let's catch up with tonight's sports news now. Here's Claire.

:18:13.:18:18.

Good evening. Our two Premier League teams will be delighted to come away

:18:19.:18:22.

with anything from a difficult weekend ahead. Cardiff City, who are

:18:23.:18:25.

in the relegation zone, host title-chasing Liverpool. While

:18:26.:18:29.

Swansea City, only four points clear of danger, travel to Everton. Here's

:18:30.:18:35.

Ashleigh Crowter. The last time Cardiff played

:18:36.:18:38.

Liverpool, it was Malky Mackay who was fighting for survival as

:18:39.:18:42.

manager. Three months on, the whole club is on the brink. Brendan

:18:43.:18:47.

Rodgers's side are genuine title contenders. It means no one is

:18:48.:18:53.

giving Cardiff a chance tomorrow. But it is getting to the stage where

:18:54.:18:57.

Cardiff need to defy everyone's expectations. In a game at

:18:58.:19:02.

Liverpool, we have got nothing to lose. We are at home. We have done

:19:03.:19:08.

it against City, we have drawn against United. There are still 24

:19:09.:19:15.

points to play for with eight games left. After Liverpool, the next two

:19:16.:19:20.

games are against sides in the relegation mix. They will not want

:19:21.:19:23.

to leave it to the last game when Chelsea try to win the title. An

:19:24.:19:28.

injury time goldeneye Cardiff a point last week. Now Swansea will

:19:29.:19:32.

head to Goodison Park hoping for better luck. Swansea are just four

:19:33.:19:38.

points above the drop zone. A bad run at this stage of the season

:19:39.:19:42.

could put them in deep trouble. Last weekend they lost at home to one of

:19:43.:19:45.

the sides below them which has made things even tighter. It means every

:19:46.:19:49.

game will now be a test of character. I have got no question at

:19:50.:19:55.

all with the players. They realise what is at stake for themselves.

:19:56.:20:00.

Reputations are on the line, not just the club only as a manager but

:20:01.:20:05.

them as players. When you get question, you tend to get a

:20:06.:20:10.

reaction. Swansea have a game in hand on Cardiff with nine left to

:20:11.:20:14.

play. They have a trip to Arsenal on Tuesday and then a collection of

:20:15.:20:19.

so-called 6-point is against the likes of Norwich, Hull City and

:20:20.:20:21.

Sunderland. It's one of the most

:20:22.:20:23.

eagerly-anticipated European football fixtures and a certain

:20:24.:20:26.

Welshman will play his part this weekend. Gareth Bale, who's been

:20:27.:20:29.

playing for Real Madrid for six months now, is gearing up to face

since joining from Spurs and he says he's beginning to make his mark.

:20:41.:20:48.

When you come to any club, you want to perform straightaway and

:20:49.:20:52.

obviously, because of having no pre-season, the physical demands

:20:53.:20:56.

were a lot more than I was able to do myself. But as I have got

:20:57.:20:59.

fitter, my performances have got better. Hopefully now I can keep

:21:00.:21:05.

maintaining the level of performance and get a lot better.

:21:06.:21:08.

And Sport Wales has been to out Madrid. There's a profile on Gareth

Bale and his time in Spain so far tonight at 9.00pm over on BBC Two

:21:15.:21:16.

Wales. Rugby and there's a Welsh derby in

:21:17.:21:21.

the Pro12 tonight. The Ospreys, the top Welsh region, fourth in the

:21:22.:21:24.

table, face the Blues who are 10th. It's the Blues' first match since

:21:25.:21:28.

the departure of Director of Rugby Phil Davies. The Scarlets are away

:21:29.:21:31.

to Glasgow tomorrow night, while the Dragons welcome Connacht on Sunday.

:21:32.:21:34.

You can catch the derby tonight on Scrum V Live over on BBC Two Wales

:21:35.:21:38.

from 7.00pm. Now, rugby of a different kind is

:21:39.:21:41.

getting underway in Flintshire this evening as North Wales Crusaders

:21:42.:21:44.

Wheelchair Rugby League Club begins training for the new season. Formed

:21:45.:21:48.

last year, they're appealing for more players to join them. It's also

:21:49.:21:52.

open to those who aren't wheelchair users. Matthew Richards is at

:21:53.:22:02.

Deeside Leisure Centre. We have fortunately got a bit of a

:22:03.:22:07.

respite in what has been a fast and furious bit of training. Let's speak

:22:08.:22:11.

to the coach. Explain to us how it works. Wheelchair rugby league is a

:22:12.:22:21.

similar version to the running game of rugby league. It is modified a

:22:22.:22:25.

little bit that you don't have any scrimmaging but we have the play of

:22:26.:22:34.

the ball, kicking and scoring tries by grounding or putting the ball

:22:35.:22:44.

down and the post. They are basic sports cheese which are great and

:22:45.:22:49.

they are mobile, everything is basically just right for the

:22:50.:22:52.

players. They are designed for the young person or the older player.

:22:53.:23:00.

Anybody can have a go. Let's find out a little bit more about that

:23:01.:23:03.

recruitment drive and speak to Ian Edwards, the chairman of North Wales

:23:04.:23:06.

Crusaders Wheelchair Rugby League Club. How are you spreading the word

:23:07.:23:12.

about this? Mainly at the moment we are quite keen to get into schools.

:23:13.:23:16.

We have got some junior sized wheelchairs here. We are going to be

:23:17.:23:26.

put on some children's training. It does look pretty brutal at times.

:23:27.:23:32.

While the lads are carrying on, you will often hear big crashes. They

:23:33.:23:40.

don't hold back. But I guess that is an attraction for some kids. They

:23:41.:23:45.

love it. It is actually what they want to do. They want to get stuck

:23:46.:23:51.

in. Thank you very much and good luck with your recruitment. --

:23:52.:23:55.

drive. Paralympian athlete Nathan Stephens

:23:56.:23:58.

learnt to dance for his wedding and probably thought that would be that.

:23:59.:24:03.

But tonight he'll appear in Strictly Come dancing for Sports Relief after

:24:04.:24:06.

the programme makers saw his wedding video. The 25-year-old, who lost his

:24:07.:24:10.

legs in an accident when he was nine, has been in training with his

:24:11.:24:14.

partner Iveta practising their Salsa routine.

:24:15.:24:16.

And you can see Nathan in action tonight.

:24:17.:24:26.

The only time I have danced is my first wedding dance which was a bit

:24:27.:24:28.

stumpy but I managed to get through it. Hopefully with a bit more

:24:29.:24:34.

training, I will remember the steps. Javelin has got to be quite rhythmic

:24:35.:24:37.

anyway. It has got to be quite smooth. Hopefully it will marry up.

:24:38.:24:46.

Sport Relief starts straight after us at 7.00pm here on BBC One Wales.

:24:47.:24:50.

Derek's been known to wear his leg warmers for a spot of dancing. How

:24:51.:24:52.

is the weekend weather looking? Leg warmers will come in handy. We

:24:53.:25:01.

are in for a chilly weekend with a mixture of sunshine and showers. The

:25:02.:25:04.

air is unstable which means heavy showers, hail and a risk of thunder.

:25:05.:25:08.

Also some of the showers wintry with sleet and snow. And watch out for

:25:09.:25:12.

frost, especially on Sunday night. This evening, a trough will move

:25:13.:25:16.

east bringing a spell of rain. This will clear to scattered showers.

:25:17.:25:21.

Some of the showers heavy with hail and falling as snow on higher

:25:22.:25:28.

ground. A cold night. Here's the picture for 8.00am in the morning.

:25:29.:25:32.

Some places dry but there will be showers around. Some of them heavy

:25:33.:25:35.

and wintry with sleet. Snow in parts of Powys and Brecon Brecons. Rain or

:25:36.:25:39.

hail on the coast. The temperature in Caernarfon only five Celsius. So

:25:40.:25:44.

it's a case of dodging the showers. Snow on high ground. But I can

:25:45.:25:47.

promise some dry weather and sunshine as well. Temperatures

:25:48.:25:54.

nothing to write home about. In Caerphilly tomorrow, sunny intervals

:25:55.:25:57.

and heavy showers. Hail possible with a high of eight Celsius in

:25:58.:26:01.

Risca. In Montgomeryshire, it's a similar story with a top temperature

:26:02.:26:04.

of seven Celsius in Newtown. Tomorrow night, a few showers. Some

:26:05.:26:08.

dry, clear weather as well. Windy on Anglesey. Sunday will be chilly and

:26:09.:26:13.

breezy with a few scattered showers but generally more in the way of dry

:26:14.:26:24.

and bright weather. If you're in Cardiff Bay for the Sport Relief

:26:25.:26:28.

mile on Sunday, I wouldn't rule out a shower, but otherwise dry. Ideal

:26:29.:26:34.

for running. Sunday night will be dry and cold with a widespread

:26:35.:26:39.

frost. In Mid Wales, the temperature could dip as low as minus five.

:26:40.:26:44.

Monday will start cold and dry but it won't last with more rain on the

:26:45.:26:49.

way. Our picture tonight is from Steve Davies-Evans. Towering clouds

:26:50.:26:57.

over the Bristol Channel. Thanks, Steve.

:26:58.:27:02.

The main news again. The Labour MP Ann Clwyd is under

:27:03.:27:07.

pressure to allow an investigation into her husband's death to be made

:27:08.:27:13.

public. The Royal College of Nursing in Wales has told Wales Today that

:27:14.:27:16.

staff feel demoralised and frustrated that she has refused to

:27:17.:27:20.

share a report looking at the care Owen Roberts received at the

:27:21.:27:22.

University Hospital of Wales. Two men from Ceredigion are facing

:27:23.:27:25.

charges relating to the mislabelling of meat. Dafydd Raw Rees, the owner

:27:26.:27:29.

of Farmbox Meats in Llandre, and Colin Patterson, a company

:27:30.:27:31.

representative, are accused of mislabelling goat meat as lamb or

:27:32.:27:33.

mutton.
