:00:00. > :00:00.brightness between the clouds. The outlook is mixed. Thank
:00:00. > :00:10.Welcome to Wales Today. Today, the proposals to improve the health of
:00:11. > :00:13.the nation. Electronic cigarettes could be banned in enclosed public
:00:14. > :00:15.places although thousands of people say they've helped them stop
:00:16. > :00:19.smoking. A minimum price of alcohol could
:00:20. > :00:27.also be introduced. Tonight, the Welsh Government says it is a
:00:28. > :00:31.radical step forward. We are confident today marks the day when
:00:32. > :00:35.people look back on it, they will say this was a really important step
:00:36. > :00:39.forward in that great Welsh radical public-health tradition in
:00:40. > :00:51.safeguarding the health of the Welsh nation for the future.
:00:52. > :00:56.Also tonight: Former Visteon workers have fought for five years to win
:00:57. > :01:00.compensation. Finally, a deal is reached said to be worth millions of
:01:01. > :01:03.pounds. Are children in Wales waiting too
:01:04. > :01:07.long for psychiatric services? Claims tonight their plight being
:01:08. > :01:11.ignored. And after a battle against cancer
:01:12. > :01:17.he's back in the game. Matthew Rees tells us how he got through the dark
:01:18. > :01:22.days. My family have been very supportive
:01:23. > :01:26.of the way through this. I have got a young daughter. To be seen her,
:01:27. > :01:32.when I was going through the treatment, on a daily basis, it is a
:01:33. > :01:36.fight. Good evening. Wales could become the
:01:37. > :01:39.only part of the UK to restrict the use of electronic cigarettes in
:01:40. > :01:44.confined public places under plans put forward by the Welsh Government.
:01:45. > :01:48.There would also be minimum price for alcohol. The Health Minister
:01:49. > :01:51.says it's part of a radical package of proposals to improve public
:01:52. > :01:56.health but critics claim the move to restrict e-cigarette use could be
:01:57. > :02:04.misguided. Here's our health correspondent Owain Clarke.
:02:05. > :02:10.Enjoying a Perth over a cup of tea. Don't be fooled, this Cathy isn't
:02:11. > :02:15.breaking the smoking ban. This is an smoke, it is vapour and these are LH
:02:16. > :02:22.on. E-cigarettes as you can see coming all shapes and sizes. The
:02:23. > :02:26.idea is that by inhaling a VP at people can still get their fix of
:02:27. > :02:33.nicotine but without being exposed to some of the toxins or poisons
:02:34. > :02:39.present in normal cigarette smoke. It is a business that is growing
:02:40. > :02:42.rapidly. What is the appeal? BC hundreds of customers coming in
:02:43. > :02:50.every week. They are becoming so popular. I used to smoke about 25 a
:02:51. > :02:57.day, super Kings. Since I have started these, 15 months ago, I
:02:58. > :03:02.haven't smoked a cigarette. If the Welsh Government had its way this
:03:03. > :03:04.place would have to close, but why? It argues e-cigarettes normalise
:03:05. > :03:08.smoking making it appear acceptable. It claims research from
:03:09. > :03:12.the United States suggests more young people are trying them. If
:03:13. > :03:22.they become addicted they could move on to real cigarettes. It argues
:03:23. > :03:28.that the evidence is limited. Others challenge those claims. The number
:03:29. > :03:32.of studies show people are using them as effective aids to quit
:03:33. > :03:36.smoking. The studies that are available don't suggest that
:03:37. > :03:39.e-cigarettes at the news that some sort of gateway where you start
:03:40. > :03:44.using them and end of smoking tobacco. Beyond restricting
:03:45. > :03:48.e-cigarettes the government was to introduce food standards for
:03:49. > :03:52.nurseries and care homes. They will force councils to open more public
:03:53. > :03:58.toilets and have registers of tobacco sellers and tattoos
:03:59. > :04:03.parlours. It wants to set a minimum price for alcohol, 50p a unit which
:04:04. > :04:09.would mean a can of strong lager couldn't be sold for less than ?1
:04:10. > :04:16.50. We're having 30,000 bed days every year blocked due to problems
:04:17. > :04:22.with alcohol. This is an epidemic. To tackle that we need drastic
:04:23. > :04:29.measures. One of those should be minimum pricing. Are these
:04:30. > :04:34.international students currently studying in Cardiff convinced? If
:04:35. > :04:41.students want to go out, they still drink. They still find to alcohol.
:04:42. > :04:45.You do to have fun, become more social. You are still going to buy
:04:46. > :04:49.it if that is what you want. It isn't only the students who are
:04:50. > :04:54.likely to give the minimum price plan hostile reception. Launching
:04:55. > :04:57.his proposals, the health minister admitted he is likely to face a
:04:58. > :05:02.challenge from the drinks industry. He could also face an even bigger
:05:03. > :05:05.hurdle, the UK Government has claimed he hasn't got the power to
:05:06. > :05:10.set a minimum price in the first place. I am quite sure there will be
:05:11. > :05:15.pushed back from the alcohol industry as the husband in Scotland.
:05:16. > :05:23.We can't necessarily prevent others from challenging our powers through
:05:24. > :05:27.the courts. Maybe the UK Government. You could describe them as
:05:28. > :05:30.trigger-happy in wanting to do that, to take legislation passed the
:05:31. > :05:37.National Assembly to the Supreme Court. We're confident of our
:05:38. > :05:39.ground. In the end, the health minister IDs improving people 's
:05:40. > :05:44.health is one of the most powerful things a government can do. Here in
:05:45. > :05:49.Carmarthen they argue the new law, at least in one respect, as have the
:05:50. > :05:54.opposite effect. Clamping down on e-cigarettes, they claim, could
:05:55. > :05:58.stigmatise the people trying hard to turn their back on tobacco.
:05:59. > :06:01.A little earlier I spoke to the Chief Medical Officer Dr Ruth
:06:02. > :06:04.Hussey. I began by asking her whether there was any evidence to
:06:05. > :06:11.show that banning e-cigarettes will improve public health.
:06:12. > :06:15.Our concern is that the growth, the rapid growth in the use of
:06:16. > :06:21.e-cigarettes runs the risk of three normal eyes in smoking, making it
:06:22. > :06:25.more common. -- pre-normalising the stop the consequence is that a lead
:06:26. > :06:32.into an expectation this could be a gateway into conventional smoking.
:06:33. > :06:37.It becomes more familiar to people. But there is no evidence that it
:06:38. > :06:43.will improve public health. The argument is that we have made huge
:06:44. > :06:46.strides in the last seven years since smoking was banned in public
:06:47. > :06:54.places here in Wales, we have made huge strides in reducing the
:06:55. > :07:02.evidence of smoking around as. The concern is we are seeing much more
:07:03. > :07:07.frequent use of e-cigarettes in public places. The challenge is to
:07:08. > :07:13.people who are concerned, to implement restrictions, they are
:07:14. > :07:16.hard -- finding it hard to tell the difference. Many people say they
:07:17. > :07:25.don't know. They don't want e-cigarettes. We do know this,
:07:26. > :07:27.University College of London and Cancer research UK both save the
:07:28. > :07:32.list are clear connection between the use of e-cigarettes and the
:07:33. > :07:40.uptake of normal smoking. Could you be creating a problem? What we are
:07:41. > :07:45.concerned about, this is emerging evidence day by day, our knowledge
:07:46. > :07:52.about these products is we are seeing young people using them. They
:07:53. > :07:57.don't know that is nicotine in them. In a sense, this is a precautionary
:07:58. > :08:01.approach. This is uncharted territory in terms of the detailed
:08:02. > :08:04.long-term evidence and follow-up of these because they are such new
:08:05. > :08:09.products. Our consultation is a consultation. It is a question in
:08:10. > :08:13.terms should we take this that? Would this help in making sure
:08:14. > :08:16.smoking is not normalised again? The Chief Medical Officer Ruth
:08:17. > :08:22.Hussey talking to me earlier. Our health correspondent Owain Clarke is
:08:23. > :08:26.at a pub in Cardiff tonight. What is your take on the Welsh
:08:27. > :08:33.Government health plans? This perk which is a favourite haunts of
:08:34. > :08:37.students is the head of the game. It is already banning the cigarettes.
:08:38. > :08:41.If you want to smoke then we have to go outside with the smokers. But I
:08:42. > :08:45.think there will be a lot of debate here tonight about the pros and cons
:08:46. > :08:50.of the Welsh Government's proposals. The main debate as you mentioned
:08:51. > :08:54.earlier is about the evidence and stop the Welsh Government claims
:08:55. > :08:58.e-cigarettes can be a gateway to proper tobacco smoking. A study
:08:59. > :09:04.published this month by the University of Leicester says the use
:09:05. > :09:09.of e-cigarettes by individuals would never smoked is extremely rare. The
:09:10. > :09:11.other debates would be about minimum alcohol price, has the Welsh
:09:12. > :09:16.Government got the power to do that? The wealth -- Welsh health
:09:17. > :09:24.minister thinks he has got the power. He wanted to go much further.
:09:25. > :09:29.He wanted to place restrictions on fast food outlets, for example, but
:09:30. > :09:32.found he didn't have the to do that. He is confident he has the power to
:09:33. > :09:39.introduce a minimum price on alcohol. But this is consultation.
:09:40. > :09:43.If you believe this is a nanny state in action you can have your say. If
:09:44. > :09:47.you believe these are sensible puzzles, you can also have your say.
:09:48. > :09:50.-- proposals. Hundreds of workers at the former
:09:51. > :09:54.Visteon car parts factory in Swansea are being offered compensation after
:09:55. > :09:57.the value of their pensions was slashed. The Ford motor company,
:09:58. > :10:00.which formerly owned Visteon, and the union Unite said they had agreed
:10:01. > :10:03.a settlement. It follows years of campaigning by the pensioners, who
:10:04. > :10:12.took their case to parliament today. David Cornock reports.
:10:13. > :10:19.This is a moral victory. I hope we're going to good news. We have
:10:20. > :10:23.got our fingers crossed. Back to Westminster, this time with a spring
:10:24. > :10:27.in their step. Car parked workers who felt cheated out of their
:10:28. > :10:32.pensions when Visteon went bust five years ago. Its owner, Ford, denied
:10:33. > :10:43.any liability. The workers took liability for the bash legal action.
:10:44. > :10:47.-- the workers took legal action. I lost 40% of my pension and as a
:10:48. > :10:52.result my standard of living has gone down considerably. What
:10:53. > :10:58.difference do you hope today's deal will make? I hope to have some for
:10:59. > :11:05.that form of compensation for the many I have lost. John won't get
:11:06. > :11:12.back everything he lost that the deal is said to be worth millions of
:11:13. > :11:17.pounds shared between 1200 workers. It is important is pensioner
:11:18. > :11:20.understands how much many they get. Everybody will get something. If
:11:21. > :11:26.there is a court case, all pensioners may not get a pay-out. It
:11:27. > :11:31.is for them to decide. Inside the House of Commons, the deal was
:11:32. > :11:34.welcomed across political parties. This is a good development for
:11:35. > :11:39.pensioners and all those who played a role. Colleagues all sides of the
:11:40. > :11:42.house have been involved in this. They should be credited with the
:11:43. > :11:47.work they have done with Ford. Outside, the mood was unusually
:11:48. > :11:52.buoyant. For years, these pensioners have been travelling from Wales to
:11:53. > :11:56.Westminster to put political pressure on the Ford motor company.
:11:57. > :12:02.They hope today's deal means it will never have to come here again. The
:12:03. > :12:06.deal needs the approval of 95% of pensioners. Ford said the agreements
:12:07. > :12:08.were settled the legal claims made against the company but the details
:12:09. > :12:11.were confidential. An inquest into the death of a
:12:12. > :12:14.Newport teenager, who went missing in December last year, has been
:12:15. > :12:18.opened and adjourned. Nida Naseer's body was found at the Wetlands area
:12:19. > :12:22.of the city last month. The coroner said the cause of death has not yet
:12:23. > :12:25.been determined. The inquest has been adjourned for six weeks.
:12:26. > :12:28.Two teaching unions have asked that pupils be allowed to re-sit the
:12:29. > :12:31.controversial English Language GCSE this summer without any extra cost
:12:32. > :12:35.to their schools. A review by the Welsh Government found there were a
:12:36. > :12:38.number of reasons why thousands of pupils here received "unexpectedly
:12:39. > :12:44.low" grades but ruled out paying for re-sits.
:12:45. > :12:46.It was as if they had drawn up a battle line. That's how a doctor
:12:47. > :12:50.described the relationship between the family of a dying teenager and
:12:51. > :12:53.the director of care at Ty Hafan's children hospice today. Jayne
:12:54. > :12:56.Saunders faces claims of professional misconduct over the way
:12:57. > :13:01.she dealt with the girl named only as S at the hearing of the Nursing
:13:02. > :13:09.and Midwifery Council. She denies all the allegations. Caroline Evans
:13:10. > :13:13.was at the hearing. What was the background to this case?
:13:14. > :13:18.Ty Hafan just outside Cardiff was established about 15 years ago. This
:13:19. > :13:21.case goes back to 2008 and relates a 14-year-old girl with leukaemia and
:13:22. > :13:24.how she was treated by the director of care, Jayne Saunders. The dispute
:13:25. > :13:30.began when her mother noticed a red mark on the girl's body and reported
:13:31. > :13:33.it to staff. The allegations are that Jayne Saunders, seen here in
:13:34. > :13:37.green meeting Prince Charles, told the family child S would have to be
:13:38. > :13:41.regularly examined by members of the care team if she was to stay at the
:13:42. > :13:44.hospice, that she failed to ensure that the child was giving informed
:13:45. > :13:51.consent to examinations, and that she failed to ensure that only a
:13:52. > :13:54.qualified nurse examined her. She also accused of giving insufficient
:13:55. > :13:58.consideration to the child's feelings when she asked to have a
:13:59. > :14:03.sleep over at Ty Hafan. What was said at the hearing today? We heard
:14:04. > :14:06.from a specialist doctor there who said it was Mrs Saunders' general
:14:07. > :14:11.approach to say no to things and then go away and consider it. He
:14:12. > :14:16.said it was her job to keep Ty Hafan safe but that she and the family
:14:17. > :14:20.seemed to view each other as on the opposites sides of a battle line.
:14:21. > :14:23.Asked about the family he said, they were intelligent analytical people,
:14:24. > :14:34.going through a very difficult time and their emotion would sometimes
:14:35. > :14:39.surface unexpectedly. With me, they were courteous, he said, but I have
:14:40. > :14:42.is from others who were not doctors who said they were not treated with
:14:43. > :14:45.the same courtesy. The case is expected to continue until the end
:14:46. > :14:48.of April. He's responsible for looking into
:14:49. > :14:50.complaints about public services in Wales and is independent of
:14:51. > :14:53.government. Today, Nick Bennett's appointment as the new Public
:14:54. > :14:56.Services Ombudsmen was approved by the National Assembly. He says he
:14:57. > :14:58.hopes to help drive improvement in public services here.
:14:59. > :15:01.The growing problem of children waiting for psychiatric services in
:15:02. > :15:05.Wales is being ignored by ministers, it has been claimed. The number
:15:06. > :15:08.waiting more than 14 weeks has soared in the past year. Ongoing
:15:09. > :15:12.problems with mental health services in Wales were previously highlighted
:15:13. > :15:19.in a report last year. Here's our political reporter James Williams.
:15:20. > :15:26.Amanda Jones's certain a few years ago. He was diagnosed with
:15:27. > :15:31.Asperger's last November that they will have to wait six months for a
:15:32. > :15:36.psychiatrist appointment. It has left a lot of people down. I joined
:15:37. > :15:40.a small group. Most of the people in the group have had similar dealings
:15:41. > :15:45.with not getting the support they need to help their children.
:15:46. > :15:48.Amanda's certain is one of a growing number of children and young people
:15:49. > :15:55.waiting longest foray psychiatrist appointment. There were 139 waiting
:15:56. > :15:58.more than 14 weeks and the numbers wavers slightly before rising
:15:59. > :16:01.dramatically from November of that year to the highest point in January
:16:02. > :16:08.of this year. The latest available figures show 736 are now awaiting
:16:09. > :16:14.the longest for an appointment. It has led to more work for this child
:16:15. > :16:18.psychiatrist. She works privately. Long way to the public sector and
:16:19. > :16:24.increasing demand for the services. My experience is there has been an
:16:25. > :16:27.increase. But there has always been delay in being able to assess
:16:28. > :16:34.children appropriately for mental health problems. Child health
:16:35. > :16:36.experts recently told BBC Wales the service which treats children and
:16:37. > :16:41.young people with mental illness is in a state of crisis. Opinions
:16:42. > :16:46.rejected by the Welsh Government which is prioritising tackling
:16:47. > :16:51.waiting times in its improvement plan. But the service is the subject
:16:52. > :16:57.of an Assembly committee enquiry and was raised by the Liberal Democrats
:16:58. > :17:00.today. As we have seen this so many Welsh Government strategy the words
:17:01. > :17:06.on the paper are fine. But when it comes to action the Welsh Government
:17:07. > :17:10.wealth -- let's people down. It is a feeling shared by Amanda as she
:17:11. > :17:12.continues what she calls her battle against the system.
:17:13. > :17:15.Still to come tonight: Bridge over the Dwyryd estuary. Why renovation
:17:16. > :17:23.work is causing problems for local people.
:17:24. > :17:26.The BBC has been accused of making "elementary errors" when it comes to
:17:27. > :17:30.covering matters that are devolved to Wales. The comments were made
:17:31. > :17:33.during the director general's appearance before Assembly Members
:17:34. > :17:39.this morning. Our arts and media correspondent, Huw Thomas was
:17:40. > :17:47.watching proceedings. What happened? Today, it was the way
:17:48. > :17:51.Wales 's portrait of BBC programmes that are made in London such as News
:17:52. > :17:56.at ten that was top of the agenda when the director general appeared
:17:57. > :18:02.before committee at the Assembly. A specific example was raised. It was
:18:03. > :18:06.a decision to hold question Time in Newport without any Assembly Members
:18:07. > :18:12.on it. There was barely a mention of Wales. When a topic map to link to
:18:13. > :18:18.Wales was mentioned the wealth health service was the topic and
:18:19. > :18:23.cause the shadow minister to struggle with it. There are clearly
:18:24. > :18:33.issues on the Welsh Government is dealing with that. I don't want to
:18:34. > :18:38.be unkind but I know bits more about the Welsh health service than you
:18:39. > :18:46.do. I say that with a despite. What did Tony SOP -- Tony Hall have to
:18:47. > :18:54.say about that? It said the way West in time selects its panel will be
:18:55. > :18:58.looked at. Rosemary Butler said that the programmes the BBC makes in
:18:59. > :19:02.London has struggled with the fundamental differences of
:19:03. > :19:07.devolution. She said the coverage can sometimes leave Welsh viewers
:19:08. > :19:11.feeling short-changed. Tony Hall said the way to address all of these
:19:12. > :19:17.concerns was to persist and explain devolution to BBC staff. We have got
:19:18. > :19:24.to keep on working, using the strengths we have got in Wales to
:19:25. > :19:31.work closely with London. We need to improve the sensitivity, accuracy of
:19:32. > :19:36.what we do and whilst recognising this is changing all the time. Tony
:19:37. > :19:41.Hall reiterated this morning a point he made in a speech last night. That
:19:42. > :19:46.was English-language television programmes have been in decline in
:19:47. > :19:48.Wales for around a decade. He said it was right BBC Wales has
:19:49. > :19:53.prioritised news and current affairs when budgets were tied but he wanted
:19:54. > :19:57.to start a discussion about how Welsh culture can be better
:19:58. > :19:59.deflected on BBC programmes in fault -- in future.
:20:00. > :20:02.People living in the Penrhyndeudraeth area are expected
:20:03. > :20:06.to use a public meeting tonight to voice their concerns about a
:20:07. > :20:09.decision to scrap plans to build a temporary bridge across the Dwyryd
:20:10. > :20:13.estuary while an old bridge there is being replaced. A diversion adds 16
:20:14. > :20:17.miles to an around trip. Work on the new bridge at Briwet is expected to
:20:18. > :20:19.last until the end of the year. Gwynedd Council says it's taken the
:20:20. > :20:26.decision to improve safety. Here's Roger Pinney.
:20:27. > :20:32.It is hardly a major lose but if you live, work or holiday here replacing
:20:33. > :20:38.the Briwet Bridge matters. But that is now a longest detour. That is no
:20:39. > :20:41.doubt this diversion is an inconvenience even for somebody like
:20:42. > :20:44.me who has to do its very occasionally. There are those who
:20:45. > :20:49.have to make the journey every single day. Let's see what problems
:20:50. > :20:59.they face. This is the main route south to places like Harlech. France
:21:00. > :21:06.Penrhyndeudraeth, the D2 takes a East to a crossing then there is an
:21:07. > :21:09.narrow winding roads back along the southern bank. Finally, you get to
:21:10. > :21:15.the other side of the Briwet Bridge. And to end them make that has built
:21:16. > :21:21.eight miles and it has taken me 20 minutes. Traffic today was light. A
:21:22. > :21:25.temporary bridge seemed the obvious answer but Gwynedd Council decided
:21:26. > :21:29.to spend the money on another local concern. Putting traffic management
:21:30. > :21:33.on a narrow stretch of road close to the southern end of the bridge where
:21:34. > :21:37.construction vehicles are making driving difficult and in some
:21:38. > :21:44.peoples eyes, dangerous. I live halfway up the mountain. This man
:21:45. > :21:52.lives on one side and works of the ever. It is a former attorney before
:21:53. > :22:02.that which was maybe 15 minutes. But now it is a 45 minute journey. At
:22:03. > :22:08.Gwynedd Council, the few caught between two stools. People have come
:22:09. > :22:14.to us initially saying the situation on the road was a fatality waiting
:22:15. > :22:19.to happen. We are dammed if we do and dammed if we do. I am confident
:22:20. > :22:23.we have made the right decision. A question of road safety or
:22:24. > :22:25.convenience? At Gwynedd council they say the new bridge will be completed
:22:26. > :22:28.soon. An exercise, testing the response of
:22:29. > :22:32.the emergency services, has taken place in Cardiff Bay. The RNLI and
:22:33. > :22:35.the police took part with the fire service and the Coastguard. An RAF
:22:36. > :22:38.helicopter from Chivenor was also involved in a staged crash between
:22:39. > :22:42.two boats involving 25 potential casualties.
:22:43. > :22:46.The owner of Neath Rugby Club has been arrested on suspicion of fraud
:22:47. > :22:49.and money laundering. Geraint Hawkes, who's 47, and another man
:22:50. > :22:53.aged 44, are being questioned as part of an ongoing fraud
:22:54. > :23:00.investigation. Police say the arrests were made at addresses in
:23:01. > :23:03.south Wales, including at Neath RFC. When Wales international Matthew
:23:04. > :23:06.Rees was diagnosed with testicular cancer last November, he didn't know
:23:07. > :23:11.whether he would be able to play rugby again. But last weekend, he
:23:12. > :23:14.took the field for the Cardiff Blues after being given the all-clear
:23:15. > :23:17.following a gruelling course of chemotherapy. Today, he's been
:23:18. > :23:21.telling our sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter about how his young daughter
:23:22. > :23:34.and his love for rugby kept him going through the dark times.
:23:35. > :23:42.The support has been phenomenal. I think it shows how good a friendship
:23:43. > :23:49.you can get from rugby. The strong, sort of, friendships that you carry
:23:50. > :23:53.through the rest of your life. You still finding it hard about the
:23:54. > :23:57.treatment you went through. But physically and mentally, is there
:23:58. > :24:00.any reason why you can't get back to the clear you were 12 months ago? I
:24:01. > :24:09.am meant to be stronger than they have ever been after the last five
:24:10. > :24:20.or six months. They have always been pushing myself as a player. That is
:24:21. > :24:25.my goal, the World Cup. Especially after missing the last World Cup. It
:24:26. > :24:28.is a massive goal of mine. They need to ask you about how you feel about
:24:29. > :24:36.the people at Felindre who have helped do. They have been amazing.
:24:37. > :24:42.The staff have been phenomenal all the way through my treatment. A lot
:24:43. > :24:48.of credit has got to go to the Princess Margaret Ward when I was
:24:49. > :24:53.based. You realise how important those type of people are. They are
:24:54. > :24:58.worth their weight in gold. It has changed me as a person. You never
:24:59. > :25:05.know what is round the corner. Obviously, my family have been very
:25:06. > :25:12.supportive all the way through this. I have got a young daughter. To be
:25:13. > :25:18.seeing her when I was going through the treatment on a daily basis, it
:25:19. > :25:24.was a fight. There are things you want to see your daughter grow up
:25:25. > :25:28.and do. That has kept me going. Matthew Rees talking to us. Good to
:25:29. > :25:29.see him back. All change on the weather front
:25:30. > :25:39.today. Derek has the forecast. We have all seen some rain and
:25:40. > :25:42.rumbles of thunder. The raider shows the rain and showers spreading their
:25:43. > :25:46.way northwards, dry weather following from the south with the
:25:47. > :25:51.odd glimpse of sunshine. Tomorrow, some dry weather but there is more
:25:52. > :25:55.drain on the way. Some heavy rain as well. A lot of dry weather tonight
:25:56. > :26:01.but splashes of rain which could be heavy and thundery, for example in
:26:02. > :26:06.Pembrokeshire. Another mild, murky night. Lowest temperatures in 11
:26:07. > :26:09.Celsius. There is a trough of low pressure over the south west of
:26:10. > :26:14.Britain with a front line through Pembrokeshire. Tomorrow morning at
:26:15. > :26:19.eight o'clock, most of the country dry at this stage. Little bit misty
:26:20. > :26:28.in places. It won't be dry everywhere. Rain is likely part of
:26:29. > :26:31.the and west. During the day tomorrow, the rain in the south and
:26:32. > :26:37.west will become more widespread, some of it heavy, over 20
:26:38. > :26:42.millimetres in places. The north east dry but even here a few
:26:43. > :26:50.showers. The winds light with top temperatures of 13 Celsius. Turning
:26:51. > :26:53.wet in Pembrokeshire. Tomorrow evening, how to break suffering will
:26:54. > :26:59.spread northwards and eventually clearing. Overnight, turning try it
:27:00. > :27:03.with low cloud. Friday will be a better day with one or two showers
:27:04. > :27:10.but generally dry and brightening up, feeling fresher. The air quality
:27:11. > :27:15.improving. The weekend, light rain on Saturday, heavy rain on Sunday
:27:16. > :27:16.but it should try and brightening on Sunday afternoon. Not a total
:27:17. > :27:26.write-off this weekend. The main news again from the BBC.
:27:27. > :27:28.And new proposals to ban people using electronic cigarettes in
:27:29. > :27:31.public places have been put forward by the Welsh Government. It says
:27:32. > :27:34.it'll help reduce smoking related deaths.
:27:35. > :27:38.And that is Wales Today. We'll have a quick update at 8pm and more news
:27:39. > :27:40.at 10.25pm. For now though, from all of us on the programme, have a good
:27:41. > :27:41.evening.
