:00:00. > :00:10.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight, an exclusive report on the roll out of

:00:11. > :00:13.superfast broadband. It's claimed not enough people are taking it up

:00:14. > :00:16.because it's not being promoted well enough by the Welsh Government.

:00:17. > :00:26.Nantymoel in the Ogmore Valley is one of the latest places to get

:00:27. > :00:28.connected. Did you know it has come to the Ogmore Valley? Yes I did. Not

:00:29. > :00:48.many people do know. Waiting too long for vital financial

:00:49. > :00:53.help. Cancer sufferers like Jane face delays getting new disability

:00:54. > :00:57.benefits. A bilingual maths lesson but tonight

:00:58. > :01:09.a call for primary school children to be taught in three languages.

:01:10. > :01:15.It was battered by the storms but now I have cash injection to help

:01:16. > :01:19.the resort get shipshape in time for the start of the tourist season.

:01:20. > :01:23.And he designed the iconic Guggenheim museum in New York. We

:01:24. > :01:27.look back at the life of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who died 55

:01:28. > :01:32.years ago. Good evening. The former head of BT

:01:33. > :01:35.in Wales has told this programme the take up of super fast broadband is

:01:36. > :01:38.too slow here because the Welsh Government isn't doing enough to

:01:39. > :01:41.promote it. The ?400 million project, half of which is public

:01:42. > :01:45.money, aims to make high speed internet available in almost every

:01:46. > :01:53.corner of the country. This exclusive report by our Political

:01:54. > :01:57.Editor, Nick Servini. That is a slow pace of life in nine

:01:58. > :02:01.tomorrow at the top of the Ogmore Valley but it now has superfast

:02:02. > :02:16.broadband as part of a multi-million pound roll-out across Wales. It is

:02:17. > :02:20.the result of the biggest deal of its kind signed by BT in the UK.

:02:21. > :02:27.Wales has low levels of superfast broadband access. This is an attempt

:02:28. > :02:31.to change that. The man who used to run the BT in Wales and now advises

:02:32. > :02:37.the communications watchdog leaves the benefits could be felt quicker.

:02:38. > :02:40.The evidence from elsewhere in the UK is if you put in a

:02:41. > :02:45.disproportionate effort on stimulator and demand and mobilising

:02:46. > :02:49.your business community you should get faster take-up rates and greater

:02:50. > :02:54.take-up rates than so far we have seen in Wales. Wales has a tendency

:02:55. > :02:59.to lag. Communities across Wales will see dramatically quicker

:03:00. > :03:04.broadband speeds as a result of replacing the copper wire that comes

:03:05. > :03:07.to cabinets like this with fibre cables and around ?200 million worth

:03:08. > :03:12.of public money is being spent rolling it out to communities like

:03:13. > :03:15.this where it is not profitable enough for commercial companies to

:03:16. > :03:22.do it on their own. The question is, do people know about it? I didn't

:03:23. > :03:30.know it was you. Would you use it? Yes if I knew it was there. I am

:03:31. > :03:35.always on my phone and if I had Wi-Fi it would be great. It would

:03:36. > :03:42.make a lot of difference to a lot of people. A lot of people go shopping

:03:43. > :03:47.and things like that online and if they want to buy clothes and things

:03:48. > :03:54.and people can't get out. Everybody needs broadband speeds. You can't

:03:55. > :03:58.find out much if you don't have the Internet any more. It is the only

:03:59. > :04:04.way to get information. Do you think it should be promoted more?

:04:05. > :04:07.Definitely. ?27 million of public money has been sent on the project

:04:08. > :04:13.so far and it aims to give most of us access to superfast broadband by

:04:14. > :04:18.2016. Just over ?300,000 has been spent on marketing. Take-up in the

:04:19. > :04:23.areas that have had it for a year stands at 19%. When you look at the

:04:24. > :04:30.intervention areas, you will find the take-up is higher than in the

:04:31. > :04:33.pew early commercial centres. Where Welsh Government has been in charge

:04:34. > :04:37.of promoting it it has been most accessible. I would suggest that

:04:38. > :04:41.what we need to do is make sure that the Internet service providers

:04:42. > :04:45.themselves promote and market it as well. Broadband for most in this

:04:46. > :04:52.valley led other parts of Wales is now up to speed. Whether they take

:04:53. > :04:56.advantage of it is another matter. The company in charge of bringing in

:04:57. > :04:59.a new form of disability benefit has apologised to people who've had to

:05:00. > :05:03.wait for their assessments. MPs say people with cancer and other serious

:05:04. > :05:06.conditions are having to wait too long to be assessed for the Personal

:05:07. > :05:10.Independence Payment. Paul Martin reports.

:05:11. > :05:16.It has been a tough few years for Jamie Roberts. Diagnosed with our

:05:17. > :05:19.cancer in 2011 she has also suffered side-effects from her chemotherapy

:05:20. > :05:24.meaning she cannot go back to old job as a photographer. Used to

:05:25. > :05:27.receive disability living allowance but has been waiting for months to

:05:28. > :05:35.be assessed for the benefit replacing it. You try and keep

:05:36. > :05:41.yourself as healthy and fit as you possibly can so that you can cope

:05:42. > :05:48.and manage the next lot of treat and. You are trying to manage the

:05:49. > :05:54.worry that you have about keeping a roof over your head. Personal

:05:55. > :06:02.independence payment is worth between 21 and hundred and ?38 a

:06:03. > :06:07.week. Around 100 and -- 140 adults are being moved onto it by 2017.

:06:08. > :06:11.Under the new system there are more assessment on the situation is

:06:12. > :06:14.reviewed more readily but MPs say they are concerned that people are

:06:15. > :06:21.having to wait too long to get an assessment. There are huge delays of

:06:22. > :06:28.six months or more. There are two big problems. It is leaving some

:06:29. > :06:31.vulnerable people like cancer sufferers without any financial

:06:32. > :06:37.support and it is a huge drain on the taxpayer. At Westminster debate

:06:38. > :06:41.this morning the minister responsible said he was responding

:06:42. > :06:45.to the concerns. The real truth is that there will be people who

:06:46. > :06:50.benefit from it and people that will not. What they need is decisions and

:06:51. > :07:00.we need to communicate with these people much better. The system is

:07:01. > :07:03.run in Wales by the private company capita which had this message to the

:07:04. > :07:08.people who had to the people that await. I would like to apologise to

:07:09. > :07:13.each and every one of them. It is not the place I want this business

:07:14. > :07:18.to be at. Those in live running at taking longer than routine business

:07:19. > :07:27.so we are doubling our health professional workforce. Jane is

:07:28. > :07:31.still waiting for the chance to prove she needs this benefit. The

:07:32. > :07:35.government says anyone who's had to wait for assessment will have

:07:36. > :07:38.payments backdated. I'm joined now by Helen Powell, a

:07:39. > :07:41.leading welfare benefits advisor for the cancer charity Macmillan. We

:07:42. > :07:44.heard Capita apologising for delays in assessing people for the new

:07:45. > :07:58.benefit. How have the people you help found the new system? McMillan

:07:59. > :08:04.have got 13 welfare advisers across Wales. What is being reported back

:08:05. > :08:07.to us is that it is very difficult for people affected by cancer at the

:08:08. > :08:15.moment because the delays are causing a great deal of distress. In

:08:16. > :08:21.one part of Wales at 61 claims have been made and only nine decisions

:08:22. > :08:27.have been made. In another area only three decisions has been made. They

:08:28. > :08:30.say they are going to double the number of people carrying up the

:08:31. > :08:39.assessments. What impact will that have? I'm not sure it will totally

:08:40. > :08:46.solve the problem but it will help. In all honesty the system and

:08:47. > :08:50.process itself is quite flawed. There are more problems than just

:08:51. > :08:55.manpower. We are being told there is a state of confusion in tins of

:08:56. > :09:00.getting appointments. Appointments are being cancelled and even when

:09:01. > :09:05.you have the assessment it can be months before you receive a

:09:06. > :09:09.decision. The government says personal independent payments are

:09:10. > :09:12.better because people are assessed regularly and changes in their

:09:13. > :09:19.condition can be monitored. Is that your experience? Any assessment

:09:20. > :09:23.process causes great stress so people affected by cancer, they

:09:24. > :09:25.might be in the middle of treatment and the last thing they need is to

:09:26. > :09:33.be continuously asked to complete more forms.

:09:34. > :09:37.David Cameron has once again repeated his criticism of the Welsh

:09:38. > :09:39.Government's record on the NHS in Wales, describing it as "a shambles"

:09:40. > :09:43.during Prime Minister's Questions. In what has become a regular spat,

:09:44. > :09:46.the First Minister said Mr Cameron was using an old trick to divert

:09:47. > :09:49.attention away from his own problems. Our health correspondent

:09:50. > :09:58.Owain Clarke is at Westminster tonight. Even a Cabinet resignation

:09:59. > :10:05.couldn't keep the Welsh NHS out of Prime Minister 's questions. On some

:10:06. > :10:09.counts this was the 31st time David Cameron used prime ministers

:10:10. > :10:13.questions to attack the Welsh NHS performance. He was answering a

:10:14. > :10:16.question by the Tory MP Alan Cairns who suggested Welsh soldiers might

:10:17. > :10:22.be at a disadvantage because of longer waiting times in Wales. Even

:10:23. > :10:25.the denial of that by the Welsh Government earlier this week it was

:10:26. > :10:31.interesting to note David Cameron did not focus on that specific issue

:10:32. > :10:38.but once again he did broaden it out and renewed his attack on Welsh

:10:39. > :10:41.Labour 's health record. There is a truly dreadful record when it comes

:10:42. > :10:46.to Labour 's NHS in Wales. You see a huge contrast now with the NHS in

:10:47. > :10:52.England properly funded, well-run, meeting the key targets and the

:10:53. > :10:57.shambles in Wales. Coincidently at exactly that time Carwyn Jones was

:10:58. > :11:02.answering questions on Radio Wales and he had back claiming the Prime

:11:03. > :11:08.Minister did not give two hoots about the Welsh NHS and was using an

:11:09. > :11:14.old trick to develop diced -- David attention from his own problems. Is

:11:15. > :11:23.there any way of judging who is right here? What is the state of the

:11:24. > :11:30.NHS truly? We might get a definitive -- definitive answer on Friday

:11:31. > :11:34.because an influential study will be published with the aim of comparing

:11:35. > :11:38.and contrasting how the four health care systems in the UK are

:11:39. > :11:44.performing. They will measure them against each other. Six academics

:11:45. > :11:47.have spent two years on it and it should give us a clear picture and

:11:48. > :11:51.we will bring you the details on Wales today.

:11:52. > :11:54.A jury's heard how one of Britain's most promising sailors was urged to

:11:55. > :11:57.go faster before their speedboat crashed, leaving a schoolgirl brain

:11:58. > :12:02.damaged. Cardiff Crown Court heard how Nia Jones. On the left.

:12:03. > :12:06.Accelerated but then collided with another boat after dark. She and

:12:07. > :12:09.Eleni Morus have admitted piloting the boats without navigation lights.

:12:10. > :12:13.But they deny speeding and not keeping a proper lookout in Cardiff

:12:14. > :12:17.Bay in October 2010. An inquest has opened into the death

:12:18. > :12:20.of a teenager after what his family has claimed was years of bullying.

:12:21. > :12:23.15-year-old Simon Brooks, who was from Tonyrefail, died four days

:12:24. > :12:26.after a suspected overdose, having left a message alleging he was

:12:27. > :12:33.bullied. The inquest was adjourned until July.

:12:34. > :12:36.The jury in the trial of former Shadow Welsh Secretary Nigel Evans

:12:37. > :12:39.has retired to consider its verdict. 56-year-old Mr Evans from Swansea

:12:40. > :12:46.denies nine charges including rape and sexual assault against seven

:12:47. > :12:49.young men. Welsh should become the main

:12:50. > :12:52.language of the foundation phase in the next decade and a foreign

:12:53. > :12:55.language should be taught in primary schools. Just two of the suggestions

:12:56. > :12:58.made in a consultation document from Plaid Cymru. The party says that

:12:59. > :13:13.developing a trilingual nation would benefit Wales economically and

:13:14. > :13:17.culturally. Nicola Smith reports. Bilingualism in action. These six

:13:18. > :13:20.and seven-year-olds at St Woolos Primary School in Newport are

:13:21. > :13:23.learning maths and Welsh is interspersed throughout. Three to

:13:24. > :13:26.seven-year-olds in Wales learn through the foundation phase through

:13:27. > :13:38.play and language and communication are key parts of it. But Plaid Cymru

:13:39. > :13:42.would like to take it further. The children enjoy it and they love

:13:43. > :13:50.using language and they use it followed her earlier round the

:13:51. > :13:52.school. So the children would lap up the challenge as would we. Plaid

:13:53. > :13:56.Cymru's consultation paper suggests that in ten years' time, half of all

:13:57. > :14:02.English medium primary schools like this one would use Welsh as the main

:14:03. > :14:05.language at Foundation Phase. To do that they say an intensive

:14:06. > :14:08.recruitment and training programme would be needed to ensure enough

:14:09. > :14:18.teachers are available and able to teach in Welsh. So what do parents

:14:19. > :14:23.here think? The idea sounds wonderful but how practical it is, I

:14:24. > :14:27.really don't know. I think it is nice to have a generalisation and

:14:28. > :14:33.having a background of being able to talk a bit of Welsh but having it

:14:34. > :14:35.intends in school can be a bit confusing for the children. Another

:14:36. > :14:39.proposal is to teach a modern foreign language at primary school,

:14:40. > :14:42.closing a skills gap and reap longer term economic and social benefits.

:14:43. > :14:47.But the headteacher here questions whether there's room in an already

:14:48. > :14:49.full curriculum. The idea of teaching modern foreign languages in

:14:50. > :14:53.primary school is great but there are more implications to be taken

:14:54. > :15:09.into consideration because staffing issues and resorting effusion --

:15:10. > :15:13.issues are significant. The low reading and writing skills in Wales

:15:14. > :15:18.are part of the mix of the teaching we have in Wales and we have to look

:15:19. > :15:21.at the evidence of what looked -- works in other countries where it is

:15:22. > :15:26.natural to have bilingual and trilingual teaching with the

:15:27. > :15:33.additional foreign-language is in riches the experience of the child.

:15:34. > :15:36.-- in riches There are 34 different languages spoken in the corridors of

:15:37. > :15:41.this school. Perhaps one day, Welsh will be the most common one.

:15:42. > :15:44.Still to come tonight: you're going to lose again tonight. And he was

:15:45. > :15:49.right, as Newport's play-off hopes come to an end with another home

:15:50. > :15:53.defeat. Coastal areas hit by severe storms

:15:54. > :15:57.last winter are to receive more than ?850,000 to them help gear up for

:15:58. > :16:00.the start of the tourist season. The Welsh Government has announced 17

:16:01. > :16:05.counties will be able to access funds to repair damage to the Wales

:16:06. > :16:07.Coast Path. Aberystwyth will also receive ?310,000 to restore its

:16:08. > :16:18.damaged promenade and our reporter Charlotte Dubenskij is in there

:16:19. > :16:22.tonight. Good evening and welcome to what has

:16:23. > :16:27.been a glorious day in Aberystwyth. Very different to the scenes we saw

:16:28. > :16:30.a few months ago when the severe winter storms battered the

:16:31. > :16:35.coastline. The government has announced more than ?850,000 to

:16:36. > :16:41.replace -- repair some of the damage. That money is from the

:16:42. > :16:45.promenade to help things like restoring some of the railings that

:16:46. > :16:51.were damaged during the storms. Joining me is one is this manager of

:16:52. > :16:59.the cliff railway and the vice chair of the chamber of commerce. Is this

:17:00. > :17:04.many NFO is it too little too late? It is a bit late but it is

:17:05. > :17:08.definitely needed and we are grateful to have it. It was worrying

:17:09. > :17:13.for people like myself who were worried we would not have got the

:17:14. > :17:18.place in any kind of state and I must commend the Council for the

:17:19. > :17:22.hard work they have done. Businesses have raised concern that not enough

:17:23. > :17:26.is being done to show that Aberystwyth is open for business.

:17:27. > :17:34.Has enough now been done? We're getting there. I know Ceredigion

:17:35. > :17:43.Council tourism organisation has been hard at work and have spent

:17:44. > :17:47.some money to promote a tag saying Aberystwyth is open for business.

:17:48. > :17:52.That is the message from here. Aberystwyth is open for business and

:17:53. > :17:58.many people have already been enjoying the sunshine ahead of the

:17:59. > :18:01.tourism season. Two people have been taken to

:18:02. > :18:04.hospital and ten others have been treated after toxic vapour was

:18:05. > :18:07.released at a factory which makes condiments in Flintshire. The

:18:08. > :18:10.company says it happened during a routine cleaning process and that

:18:11. > :18:17.the cause of the incident at the plant in Saltney is under

:18:18. > :18:21.investigation. Work on a ?13 million replacement

:18:22. > :18:24.for the Afan Lido leisure complex will begin within a matter of weeks.

:18:25. > :18:27.Neath Port Talbot Council today approved plans for the centre on

:18:28. > :18:30.Aberavon seafront which should be opening its doors in late 2016. The

:18:31. > :18:34.old centre was demolished after being ravaged by fire back in 2009

:18:35. > :18:36.and the town has already been without leisure facilities for more

:18:37. > :18:40.than four years. It may lie in the shadow of the

:18:41. > :18:43.steelworks but with its views across Swansea Bay, Aberavon beach is a

:18:44. > :18:46.prime location for re-development in Port Talbot. Right at the centre of

:18:47. > :18:49.this promenade, the original Afan Lido built in 1965, used to be the

:18:50. > :18:54.cultural and sporting centrepiece of the town. In December 2009 it was

:18:55. > :18:57.ravaged by fire. Now it's hoped its replacement, to be built a few

:18:58. > :19:07.hundred metres away, will once again give the community a building to be

:19:08. > :19:14.proud of. It would be the same as the old facility but the integrated

:19:15. > :19:20.design will provide comprehensive leisure with the cinema and bowling

:19:21. > :19:24.alley and other facilities. At a cost of more than ?13 million, the

:19:25. > :19:28.new centre will have an eight lane 25m pool at its heart, a four court

:19:29. > :19:31.sports hall, youth club, cafe and community rooms. It'll also get new

:19:32. > :19:40.gym facilities, which are currently being housed in a temporary building

:19:41. > :19:47.adjacent to the site. We are excited to get that into a state of the art

:19:48. > :19:50.premises. Hopefully we will be in the facility as soon as possible.

:19:51. > :19:53.Campaigner Harry Worth had previously accused the authorities

:19:54. > :19:56.of dragging their feet in rebuilding the centre. He runs the local

:19:57. > :20:02.lifeguards, and says a place to teach youngsters to swim is vital.

:20:03. > :20:06.This town has a very long seafront and a couple of rivers and docs and

:20:07. > :20:13.reservoirs. It is very important that we have a facility that we can

:20:14. > :20:19.teach local children water safety and swimming. Work on the new centre

:20:20. > :20:32.is to start in the next few weeks and the opening should be in around

:20:33. > :20:34.18 months' time. The Welsh Rugby Union says it will

:20:35. > :20:40.increase the funding for regional rugby. The WRU says it is still

:20:41. > :20:43.negotiating the details of a new agreement with the regions but the

:20:44. > :20:46.second-tier premiership and the grassroots came will receive

:20:47. > :20:50.increases of several hundred thousand pounds in July.

:20:51. > :20:53.Cricket, and Glamorgan have won their first match of the season,

:20:54. > :20:59.beating Surrey by ten wickets at the Oval. They bowled out the home side

:21:00. > :21:03.for just 82, with Graham Wagg taking six wickets. Openers Gareth Rees and

:21:04. > :21:04.Will Bragg then eased Glamorgan to victory with an unbroken stand of

:21:05. > :21:07.156. Football, and Wales' women face

:21:08. > :21:11.Ukraine in Llanelli this evening in a match that could have a huge

:21:12. > :21:14.bearing on their chances of qualifying for the World Cup. The

:21:15. > :21:16.two countries are battling each other for second place in their

:21:17. > :21:19.qualification group. Here's Ashleigh Crowter.

:21:20. > :21:22.It is a night when Wales 's World Cup credentials will be tested. They

:21:23. > :21:29.have seen of lesser opposition comfortably including a 5-0 win in

:21:30. > :21:35.Turkey. But Ukraine are unbeaten in the group. Wales is only defeat so

:21:36. > :21:38.far was to England. Three wins has put them in second place where they

:21:57. > :22:00.now. We are happy with our performances and results. It's

:22:05. > :22:09.On the domestic scene new book counties season continues to tail

:22:45. > :22:52.will re-evaluate and have a busy summer. More positive signs for

:22:53. > :22:57.22-year-old Emily Hughes who showed why he is so highly rated with this

:22:58. > :23:06.cool the Birmingham as they lost at Middlebrook -- Middlesbrough.

:23:07. > :23:09.He's one of the greatest architects of all time. Frank Lloyd Wright, who

:23:10. > :23:12.died 55 years ago today, designed some of the world's most iconic

:23:13. > :23:15.buildings. Although he found fame in America, his family were from

:23:16. > :23:19.Ceredigion and Welsh culture was to have a huge influence on his

:23:20. > :23:22.architecture. As a new exhibition of his work opens in New York, Carwyn

:23:23. > :23:24.Jones has been tracing Frank Lloyd Wright's Welsh roots.

:23:25. > :23:28.It's become his signiature building, dominating the upper east side of

:23:29. > :23:31.Manhattan. The Guggenheim Museum is just one of more 500 buildings

:23:32. > :23:38.around the world conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright. He was first and

:23:39. > :23:41.foremost a designer of houses. He introduced the idea of open plan

:23:42. > :23:45.living, which we take for granted these days but which was an entirely

:23:46. > :23:48.new concept in the early years of the 20th century. Throughout his

:23:49. > :23:53.life he prided himself as being a Welsh-American and it all started in

:23:54. > :23:57.West Wales. His roots are in Ceredigion and this is where his

:23:58. > :24:02.mother was born. His grandfather was a Unitarian and a lay preacher. The

:24:03. > :24:05.family worshipped at this chapel in Rhydowen. But their religious

:24:06. > :24:10.beliefs brought them into conflict with the local landowner, who was

:24:11. > :24:14.less tolerant of their faith. They were not free to practice their

:24:15. > :24:18.faith or politics and so they left the area in 1844 and emigrated to

:24:19. > :24:23.America. The family settled in Wisconsin, where Frank Lloyd Wright

:24:24. > :24:26.was born in 1867. His mother encouraged his interest in

:24:27. > :24:29.architecture, and by the end of the century he was designing houses and

:24:30. > :24:34.public buildings throughout America. His own home he called Taliesin,

:24:35. > :24:37.after the ancient Welsh poet. In fact the traditions and culture of

:24:38. > :24:49.Wales were instilled in him from birth. His family had moved to

:24:50. > :24:55.Wisconsin from West Wales and I think in Wisconsin they created a

:24:56. > :25:02.facsimile of West Wales. Poetry, music, the chapel life, agricultural

:25:03. > :25:10.life. Those deeply affected his outlook on design. The whole organic

:25:11. > :25:21.idea of this continuity between nature and design. Frank LLoyd

:25:22. > :25:24.Wright only visited Wales once, towards the end of his life, when he

:25:25. > :25:28.received an honorary doctorate from Bangor University. He died on this

:25:29. > :25:32.day in 1959 but his work remains as popular as ever. The Museum of

:25:33. > :25:34.Modern Art in New York is currently hosting a major exhibition of his

:25:35. > :25:38.futuristic designs. His thinking changed the course of 20th century

:25:39. > :25:41.architecture and defined how we live and work in a modern world.

:25:42. > :25:45.Let's get the weather forecast now. Some lovely sunshine today, Derek.

:25:46. > :25:49.There was more sunshine than expected today which is a bonus.

:25:50. > :25:53.There's plenty more dry weather to come over the next few days. Not

:25:54. > :25:57.completely dry, though. A few spots of light rain or drizzle are likely.

:25:58. > :26:01.The odd shower but no more than that. So dry this evening. And a dry

:26:02. > :26:03.night for most of us. Although cloud may bring spots of drizzle to

:26:04. > :26:07.Gwynedd and Ceredigion. Chilly inland. Mist in Monmouth with a low

:26:08. > :26:10.of 4C. Milder on the coast. Tomorrow's chart shows high pressure

:26:11. > :26:13.over the Atlantic. A weak cold front lying through Southern Scotland and

:26:14. > :26:16.Ireland will move slowly southeast. So here's the picture for 8.00am in

:26:17. > :26:20.the morning. Plenty of cloud. The odd spot of drizzle but otherwise

:26:21. > :26:24.dry. Bright in places. Some sunshine on the north coast and Anglesey. The

:26:25. > :26:27.temperature on Great Orme, 9C with a light breeze. During the morning

:26:28. > :26:34.more of the country will brighten-up with sunny spells. One or two

:26:35. > :26:37.showers breaking out in the south. A little rain will spread into the

:26:38. > :26:41.north and northwest during the afternoon. Top temperatures around

:26:42. > :26:49.14C with a light breeze. Cooler on the coast with a breeze off the sea.

:26:50. > :26:52.On Anglesey a dry morning. A little rain in the afternoon. Dry again by

:26:53. > :26:58.evening. In Monmouthshire tomorrow, generally dry. Sunshine and cloud

:26:59. > :27:01.with a high of 13C in Abergavenny. Tomorrow evening, spots of light

:27:02. > :27:04.rain and drizzle will spread southeast. Dry and clearer weather

:27:05. > :27:07.following from the north overnight with a few mist and fog patches

:27:08. > :27:10.forming. Friday, a nice day. Dry with a good deal of sunshine. Just

:27:11. > :27:14.the odd isolated shower. Friday night turning cold with a widespread

:27:15. > :27:17.ground frost. More dry weather on Saturday. Some sunshine but

:27:18. > :27:21.generally a lot of cloud and a weak front may bring spots of light rain

:27:22. > :27:23.and drizzle later in the afternoon and evening. Sunday dry with

:27:24. > :27:27.variable cloud. Some sunshine and light winds. Next week may start dry

:27:28. > :27:38.but it looks like the weather will break before Easter.

:27:39. > :27:44.A reminder of our main news. The former head of the tea in Wales has

:27:45. > :27:48.told this programme the take-up of superfast broadband is slow here

:27:49. > :27:54.because not enough is being done to promoted by the Welsh Government.

:27:55. > :27:58.That is it for now. We will have an update at 8pm. For now, from all of

:27:59. > :28:00.us here, goodbye.
