:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top story.

:00:07. > :00:10.This nursery is doing good business - as unemployment falls again in

:00:11. > :00:18.Wales, what's the big picture when it comes to the jobs market?

:00:19. > :00:24.There aren't many jobs around. This was an opportunity of a lifetime

:00:25. > :00:27.here. I had to snap it up. The UK and Welsh governments both

:00:28. > :00:31.claim credit for the improved jobs figures - we're in Wrexham to see if

:00:32. > :00:46.people here are optimistic about the labour market.

:00:47. > :00:51.Our other headlines. Food for hungry families - the

:00:52. > :00:56.number of people receiving emergency food from food banks has more than

:00:57. > :01:00.doubled this year. Malcolm Green would probably have

:01:01. > :01:04.lived had it not been for a breach of duty by medical staff at

:01:05. > :01:07.Withybush Hospital. They come for our castles - the

:01:08. > :01:15.number of tourists coming here on holiday from the rest of the UK is

:01:16. > :01:20.on the up. I am in Tenby taking the temperature

:01:21. > :01:24.of the tourism industry ahead of the big Easter getaway.

:01:25. > :01:27.Good evening. Unemployment has fallen again in Wales, but there are

:01:28. > :01:33.concerns that the jobs being taken are low paid, offering too few

:01:34. > :01:38.hours. According to the latest figures, over 100,000 people here

:01:39. > :01:43.are out of work. That's 6,000 fewer than the last quarter. That means

:01:44. > :01:50.6.8% of us are unemployed - lower than the rate across the UK. That

:01:51. > :01:53.stands at 6.9%. The UK and Welsh governments have welcomed the news

:01:54. > :01:58.but unions say the labour market here is far from healthy. Our

:01:59. > :02:10.business correspondent Brian Meechan is in Wrexham this evening.

:02:11. > :02:13.This is the Wrexham Lager Brewery. It was started up two and a half

:02:14. > :02:20.years ago and has just taken on a new employee. It has huge expansion

:02:21. > :02:25.plans and it hopes to be taking on even more employees. I have spent

:02:26. > :02:35.the last few days going around Wrexham talking to businesses.

:02:36. > :02:39.Wrexham has a higher rate of implement than both the UK and Welsh

:02:40. > :02:44.averages but when it comes to pay, it is similar to the rest of Wales.

:02:45. > :02:48.Workers earn around ?4000 a year less than the average employee in

:02:49. > :02:55.the UK. It has been a tough few months for the Wrexham economy. 230

:02:56. > :03:01.people lost their jobs at First cat promo in October. December saw

:03:02. > :03:07.another blow with the news that another 600 jobs would go at the

:03:08. > :03:15.electronics manufacturer, Shark. They were 140 under threat at the

:03:16. > :03:20.start of the year at Kellogg's. Local people in Wrexham say job

:03:21. > :03:25.losses affect the whole town. Lisa Howard manages a nursery in Wrexham.

:03:26. > :03:28.We are lucky that none of our parents work for any of the

:03:29. > :03:33.companies that have closed down because that would have an impact on

:03:34. > :03:40.us as a provider of childcare. It is taking on new staff. The competition

:03:41. > :03:45.for jobs is tough. Misery had fully qualified teachers applying for

:03:46. > :03:48.minimum wage jobs. There has not been many jobs around so when this

:03:49. > :03:53.opportunity came, an opportunity of a lifetime, I had to snap it up

:03:54. > :03:59.because there is nothing here. I am pretty grateful. The concern has

:04:00. > :04:05.been that many of the manufacturing jobs being lost will be replaced by

:04:06. > :04:12.lower skilled, poorer paid, less secure work. The trend is for Wales

:04:13. > :04:17.to be in the service sector. There are over a million people employed

:04:18. > :04:22.in that sector. But we have got very buoyant tourism, leisure. Unions

:04:23. > :04:26.have also raised objections to people being offered zero hours

:04:27. > :04:32.contracts with AI not guaranteed work and under employment with

:04:33. > :04:38.people have jobs are not doing as many hours as they want or need. A

:04:39. > :04:41.lot of employers talk about the need for flexibility. If you have a new

:04:42. > :04:46.contract which requires you to produce 107 more product next week

:04:47. > :04:54.or next month than you did last month, you need to increase your

:04:55. > :05:00.workforce very rapidly. But that might not be sustained work going

:05:01. > :05:04.forward. As with much of Wales, Wrexham has traditionally relied on

:05:05. > :05:09.manufacturing, but it is now usually cheaper to make goods abroad so if

:05:10. > :05:18.they can't be the cheapest, they have got to be the best. The Wrexham

:05:19. > :05:23.-based Moneypenny employs 250 people providing telephone reception for

:05:24. > :05:30.businesses. When it advertised for further job it had a thousand

:05:31. > :05:36.applicants. You have got to continue to change. The people and the

:05:37. > :05:39.economies that have really benefited are the ones that have accepted that

:05:40. > :05:48.change is going to happen and they roll with it. A new employee is one

:05:49. > :05:51.of those who has changed careers. Have the strength to do it and the

:05:52. > :05:55.belief in yourself that no matter how long you have been working in

:05:56. > :06:03.one type of career, you can have a change and still be successful in

:06:04. > :06:06.that career. Some of the themes we often hear

:06:07. > :06:11.talking to businesses about the economy and how it is changing. For

:06:12. > :06:17.example, we hear that there has got to be an upscaling. People have got

:06:18. > :06:22.to be willing to train for different careers. But they also have to have

:06:23. > :06:26.support from the Welsh government, they also need support from

:06:27. > :06:31.businesses who need to be investing in order to delivering the

:06:32. > :06:34.manufacturing we still can deliver. But also embracing other parts of

:06:35. > :06:38.the economy and other sectors of the economy, for example services.

:06:39. > :06:42.Last week the Prime Minister called Wales the UK capital for jobs

:06:43. > :06:48.growth. This is what the UK and Welsh governments had to say about

:06:49. > :06:52.today's figures. We know that this confirms a trend

:06:53. > :06:58.that has been in place for some months now and it shows that Wales

:06:59. > :07:01.is outperforming the rest of the UK. Lower unemployment than England and

:07:02. > :07:05.historically that has been very unusual. It shows that what we are

:07:06. > :07:11.doing as a Welsh government is helping. A year ago, when Wales was

:07:12. > :07:18.lagging badly behind the rest of the UK, they blamed the UK government

:07:19. > :07:27.entirely and said it did nothing to do with us. Now Wales is doing well,

:07:28. > :07:32.suddenly they are rushing forward to take the credit. The truth of the

:07:33. > :07:36.matter is, we are working well in partnership, the two governments

:07:37. > :07:39.must work together in partnership in order for Wales's economy to

:07:40. > :07:42.succeed. David Blackaby is a Professor of

:07:43. > :07:49.Economics at Swansea University. We've just heard the politicians'

:07:50. > :07:55.views there. Who should we credit? It is confirms that create jobs. Bad

:07:56. > :07:59.policy can destroy jobs. We know in Wales in terms of labour market

:08:00. > :08:03.policies, we have the jobs growth fund which has been very

:08:04. > :08:08.successful. The work programme in the UK has been less successful.

:08:09. > :08:11.These programmes usually only make small differences but the Welsh

:08:12. > :08:16.government seems to make a positive impact on the Welsh economy. We have

:08:17. > :08:21.heard concerns from the TUC that there are concerns about zero hours

:08:22. > :08:28.contracts but if you are 22 and you want a job, a job is a job is a job.

:08:29. > :08:33.We know you've unemployment is still over 20% which is far too high. It

:08:34. > :08:39.is important that we get unemployment down. It has economic

:08:40. > :08:44.costs but also social costs because people's health are affected, heart

:08:45. > :08:50.disease, mental health are all badly affected. It is important that we

:08:51. > :08:54.get people into work. In Wales we have people in low jobs which is a

:08:55. > :09:00.concern and that may be the next policy we need to introduce. We have

:09:01. > :09:04.just seen the picture in Wrexham and lots of well, high-end manufacturing

:09:05. > :09:11.jobs lost. The concern is that those kind of jobs are not being replaced.

:09:12. > :09:16.We have been losing manufacturing jobs since the 1970s so it is

:09:17. > :09:21.nothing new. We still have more people employed in manufacturing in

:09:22. > :09:26.Wales than in the rest of the UK and the recent increases are probably

:09:27. > :09:33.related to manufacturing jobs. These jobs have grown over the last year

:09:34. > :09:41.more quickly in Wales than the UK but there is a downward trend in

:09:42. > :09:45.manufacturing. A major business park near Bridgend

:09:46. > :09:48.which is home to Sony has been bought by the Welsh government in a

:09:49. > :09:51.bid to attract new businesses and jobs. Several other life science and

:09:52. > :09:54.technology companies are also located in Pencoed Technology Park,

:09:55. > :10:28.which is just alongside the M4. It's been sold for ?12.3 million.

:10:29. > :10:31.Another referral to the food bank. This time a woman who has three

:10:32. > :10:37.children to feed. It is an emergency. In the last six months,

:10:38. > :10:45.the food bank has held more than 350 people. 40% of them children. Across

:10:46. > :10:50.Wales, almost 80,000 received food. That is more than double the figure

:10:51. > :10:56.for the previous 12 months. All people in need and here they say it

:10:57. > :11:00.is very often a short term need. The majority of our clients don't come

:11:01. > :11:06.back more than once. They might come back once or twice until their

:11:07. > :11:12.problem is sorted. It is not to meet a long-term situation. We don't want

:11:13. > :11:17.to encourage a dependency culture. James works as a volunteer and

:11:18. > :11:23.recently he has had to look for help himself. I put in for a claim of

:11:24. > :11:27.benefits eight weeks ago and I have had one payment in the eight weeks.

:11:28. > :11:33.For six weeks I have not had any money whatsoever. It came to a point

:11:34. > :11:36.on Friday where I had been ill and suffered depression where I came

:11:37. > :11:43.back to the Salvation Army and use a food bank. If you speed to those who

:11:44. > :11:49.run food banks, the word you keep on hearing is crisis. For so many

:11:50. > :11:53.people, any financial cushion they have had disappeared during the

:11:54. > :11:58.recession so when a problem strikes, even buying essentials can become

:11:59. > :12:03.impossible. At the cathedral, they run another of the food banks now

:12:04. > :12:08.open in Wales. They find many to return for help time and again. The

:12:09. > :12:13.biggest cause is welfare changes. The bishop is among those speaking

:12:14. > :12:17.out today. We need to ask why there are so many people dependent on

:12:18. > :12:21.others. We need to look at the way the welfare system is running. There

:12:22. > :12:28.are lots of things that are feeding into the crisis. That word crisis

:12:29. > :12:31.again. A crisis for those in need, certainly, although the UK

:12:32. > :12:35.government questions today's figures. It says the numbers are

:12:36. > :12:38.falling. A businessman from Haverfordwest who

:12:39. > :12:41.died at Withybush Hospital following a routine operation would probably

:12:42. > :12:44.have survived had it not been for a breach of duty, an inquest has

:12:45. > :12:49.heard. Malcolm Green passed away in 2012. The Hywel Dda Health Board has

:12:50. > :12:57.already apologised to his family and says an investigation has been

:12:58. > :13:03.carried out. Cemlyn Davies reports. Malcolm Green was a fit 82-year-old

:13:04. > :13:07.businessman who was awarded the MBE for services to the community. He

:13:08. > :13:11.died at Withybush Hospital a few days after undergoing a routine

:13:12. > :13:17.operation to remove a tumour from his: . Today his sons heard how

:13:18. > :13:22.their father would probably have lived had it not been for what was

:13:23. > :13:29.described as a breach of duty. His operation took place on June 26,

:13:30. > :13:34.2012. Buying for 30 AM the following morning, there were indications

:13:35. > :13:38.something was wrong. His blood pressure had dropped significantly.

:13:39. > :13:42.But it was some hours before medical staff realised he was bleeding

:13:43. > :13:46.internally and he was prepared for emergency surgery. That operation

:13:47. > :13:51.did not get under way for another three hours. He died three days

:13:52. > :13:55.later. This morning, this independent expert said he thought

:13:56. > :13:59.the death was more likely than not aggravated by gross failure to

:14:00. > :14:04.provide basic medical attention in the face of obvious need. The

:14:05. > :14:09.professor of surgery told the inquest he believes that if Malcolm

:14:10. > :14:15.Green had undergone surgery to stem the bleeding before 1015, the

:14:16. > :14:19.multi-organ failure he suffered would have been avoided and he

:14:20. > :14:22.probably would have survived. The Hywel Dda Health Board has

:14:23. > :14:25.apologised to the family, acknowledging that on this occasion

:14:26. > :14:29.the level of care provided fell below the acceptable level. The

:14:30. > :14:34.health board says steps have already been put in place to ensure these

:14:35. > :14:40.failings do not happen again. The coroner will deliver his inclusion

:14:41. > :14:42.in due course. -- conclusion. Much more to come before seven

:14:43. > :14:45.o'clock. Wednesday down the gym - we'll be

:14:46. > :14:47.investigating claims that a government funded drug-testing

:14:48. > :14:49.service is being exploited by steroid dealers.

:14:50. > :14:52.And it's been another beautiful day but there is a change on the way. A

:14:53. > :15:03.full forecast coming up. The number of tourists visiting

:15:04. > :15:08.Wales from the rest of the UK is on the rise, according to a nationwide

:15:09. > :15:11.survey. Figures for last year show that nearly ten million people

:15:12. > :15:16.travelled to Wales despite a dip in the number of trips across the UK as

:15:17. > :15:26.a whole. Our reporter Sachin Krishnan is soaking up the sunshine

:15:27. > :15:30.in Tenby this evening. You join me on a very nice evening

:15:31. > :15:38.in Pembrokeshire. Just over my shoulder you can see one of the

:15:39. > :15:42.local tourist attractions. You get a real sense of just how much the

:15:43. > :15:47.tourism industry is at the heart of much of what happens in this town.

:15:48. > :15:51.Plenty of people will be interested in the survey which has been

:15:52. > :15:55.published today and following those results they will be hoping they are

:15:56. > :16:00.a good sign of things to come. Preparing for another wave of Easter

:16:01. > :16:04.visitors, this hotel is one of those fixtures of Tenby hospitality. Chris

:16:05. > :16:08.Osborne is the third generation of his family to run the hotel and in

:16:09. > :16:14.his time in charge he says he has seen plenty of ups and downs in its

:16:15. > :16:19.fortunes. There has been a phenomenal change over the last 15

:16:20. > :16:24.years. They used a bug for a week or two but now it is a day at a time.

:16:25. > :16:28.The results of the Great Britain tourism survey which looks at people

:16:29. > :16:32.from the UK visiting other parts of the UK appears to show Wales

:16:33. > :16:39.punching above its weight. But in a UK trend of falling figures, 9.9

:16:40. > :16:46.million people came here last year. A rise of 3.4%. And the amount of

:16:47. > :16:52.money they spent was ?1.7 billion, another rise, this time of 7%. On a

:16:53. > :16:54.visit to a brand-new leisure and restaurant development in

:16:55. > :16:58.Saundersfoot, the economy minister said those within the UK tourism

:16:59. > :17:02.industry had at their game in recent years. The important thing is the

:17:03. > :17:08.level of quality of experience we now offer in Wales. This is a

:17:09. > :17:12.beautiful new project, we can look at the quality of the building, the

:17:13. > :17:17.beautiful views, and this is what people want. A successful tourism

:17:18. > :17:22.industry does not just affect those who provide the hotel rooms or run

:17:23. > :17:25.the restaurant. This is a deli in Tenby town centre and a large

:17:26. > :17:29.percentage of what they sell is produced locally so would be a

:17:30. > :17:35.success as well as that of their suppliers is very much tied into the

:17:36. > :17:39.town. Tenby as a whole is just tourist -based. It is very quiet

:17:40. > :17:44.after season. It comes alive during summer and Christmas and the deli

:17:45. > :17:49.now is really pushing for the summer trade. As far as tourism goes, Tenby

:17:50. > :17:55.holds true for many places across Wales. It needs the visitors to come

:17:56. > :17:58.to be successful and just as important is providing an experience

:17:59. > :18:04.that means they will come back again and again.

:18:05. > :18:08.Picking up on that last point, if you have ever driven to this part of

:18:09. > :18:18.Wales, you will be familiar with the a 47/7, a notorious stretch of road

:18:19. > :18:24.in the past -- Alpha 427. Today, the hope is that by improving the travel

:18:25. > :18:32.experience, it will mean people are encouraged to come to praise is like

:18:33. > :18:36.Saundersfoot and Tenby -- A477. A man who knocked down and killed

:18:37. > :18:39.two cyclists in a stolen car while being followed by police has been

:18:40. > :18:42.jailed for ten years. Reading Crown Court heard how Alexander Farrar

:18:43. > :18:45.Walters, who's originally from Grangetown in Cardiff, was two and a

:18:46. > :18:49.half times over the drink drive limit. At a previous trial for fraud

:18:50. > :18:54.in Cardiff, Mr Walters was described as a career criminal who had forged

:18:55. > :19:00.a fantasy life. Nick Palit reports. This was Alexander Farrar Walter at

:19:01. > :19:03.18 back in 2001. Here at Merthyr Crown Court, he was sentenced to two

:19:04. > :19:08.years custody after phoning a bomb hoax to Heathrow Airport. He made

:19:09. > :19:13.that call just days after the 9/11 terror attacks on the United States.

:19:14. > :19:17.Not long after he served that sentence and he was back in court

:19:18. > :19:22.again, this time at Cardiff Crown Court after admitting 15 counts of

:19:23. > :19:26.fraud and two of theft. He'd tried to fly first class to Australia on

:19:27. > :19:30.forged tickets and funded other lavish holidays with false cheques.

:19:31. > :19:34.The judge here at Cardiff Crown Court jailed him for three years and

:19:35. > :19:41.told him at 21 he'd already forged an interesting career in crime. But

:19:42. > :19:46.his defence team said his offending was partly due to his upbringing. He

:19:47. > :19:52.was brought up in a Soviet orphanage before being adopted by a Welsh

:19:53. > :19:56.vicar. The judge told him he was intelligent enough to do something

:19:57. > :20:01.better with his life but today he was back in court facing his most

:20:02. > :20:04.serious offences to date. This afternoon, at Reading Crown Court,

:20:05. > :20:10.he pleaded guilty to seven counts, including two charges of causing

:20:11. > :20:13.death by dangerous driving. Cyclists John Morland and Kris Jarvis were

:20:14. > :20:19.killed in the village of Purley on Thames after Walters ploughed into

:20:20. > :20:22.them in a stolen BMW convertible. Tonight, this adopted son of a Welsh

:20:23. > :20:27.vicar is beginning a ten year sentence.

:20:28. > :20:32.A fire at a recycling plant on the outskirts of Cardiff last month is

:20:33. > :20:36.being treated as arson. The blaze in Wentloog went on for five days after

:20:37. > :20:41.more than 2,000 tonnes of plastic and wood were set alight.

:20:42. > :20:47.The Welsh government has insisted a drug-testing service it funds isn't

:20:48. > :20:50.being exploited by steroid dealers. Wedinos is run by Public Health

:20:51. > :20:52.Wales and is designed to tackle the increase in new psychoactive

:20:53. > :20:58.substances, better known as legal highs. But now there are concerns

:20:59. > :21:02.steroid dealers are using test results from Wedinos to market their

:21:03. > :21:10.product. Here's our political reporter, Paul Martin.

:21:11. > :21:15.Working hard to maintain a Peak physique. This woman has never used

:21:16. > :21:22.steroids to Elba chinos many who have. I think it is a growing

:21:23. > :21:25.problem. I train in lots of different gyms all over South Wales

:21:26. > :21:30.and you can tell by the shape of the people and the size of people. Men

:21:31. > :21:36.like the thickness of the muscle and that is what it gives them. It is a

:21:37. > :21:41.quick fix. Anabolic steroids are prescription only. It is not illegal

:21:42. > :21:46.to possess them for personal use but they are a class C drug so dealing

:21:47. > :21:52.them is a criminal friends. The maximum sentence is 14 years in

:21:53. > :21:57.prison. Regular use of steroids can cause serious side effects like

:21:58. > :22:00.infertility, high blood pressure, heart attacks, aggressive behaviour

:22:01. > :22:07.and mood swings. Since its launch last year, the Wedinos lab, designed

:22:08. > :22:12.to test legal highs, has received around 800 samples. Several results

:22:13. > :22:18.showed steroids have been tested and now there is concern it is being

:22:19. > :22:21.exploited by steroid dealers. Wedinos is being referred to

:22:22. > :22:25.regularly on Internet body-building forums as a place to get steroids

:22:26. > :22:31.tested. One contributor says his dealer told him, we will be sending

:22:32. > :22:37.in one tab every product we make to Wedinos. And there are other

:22:38. > :22:41.examples. Another person says he bought a steroid because it checked

:22:42. > :22:48.out on Wedinos. And this example, I am praying Wedinos test the sample.

:22:49. > :22:51.It looks as though people are using this to endorse the quality of their

:22:52. > :22:54.products and that can cause significant harm to those people who

:22:55. > :22:58.then take those products. Although this website was established with

:22:59. > :23:04.every good intention, I think it is starting to go fishing. But when

:23:05. > :23:14.drugs charity is said Wedinos is right to test whatever it receives.

:23:15. > :23:19.If somebody has been given a substance which they feel they are

:23:20. > :23:24.using for whatever reason, they should have the same level of access

:23:25. > :23:29.to test what they are taking. The Welsh government and Public Health

:23:30. > :23:32.Wales say Wedinos does not report on substance purity and its

:23:33. > :23:34.accessibility helps get harm reduction messages to those most at

:23:35. > :23:37.risk. Welsh swimmer Jazz Carlin claimed

:23:38. > :23:40.her second title of the British Championships in Glasgow last night

:23:41. > :23:44.as she won the 400m freestyle, having already triumphed in the 800m

:23:45. > :23:48.freestyle. Carlin, who's based in Swansea, says it was an emotional

:23:49. > :23:59.night as she bid farewell to her coach, Bud McAllister, who's leaving

:24:00. > :24:04.to work in Australia. I feel really emotional. It is

:24:05. > :24:08.really hard to hold back the tears because I feel he has really

:24:09. > :24:12.developed to me. It is when you have that special relationship with a

:24:13. > :24:16.coach, you can make magic, you can do great things in the pool and I am

:24:17. > :24:21.so grateful that I have had him for seven years.

:24:22. > :24:24.With Mark Williams and Matthew Stevens failing to qualify for the

:24:25. > :24:29.World Championships, in tomorrow's programme, we will be asking, is

:24:30. > :24:37.there a crisis in world snooker? Wales was once a leader in the game

:24:38. > :24:40.but now with a decline in fewer clothes -- close, we will be

:24:41. > :24:45.investigating tomorrow. The sun is shining. Will it last to

:24:46. > :24:47.the weekend? Derek's down by the river.

:24:48. > :24:53.It's a lovely evening. Unfortunately it's not going to be as nice as this

:24:54. > :24:57.tomorrow. There is a change on the way. Nothing major but you will

:24:58. > :25:00.notice a difference. A front is heading south and that will bring

:25:01. > :25:04.cloud, spots of light rain and drizzle. But it's only a blip

:25:05. > :25:09.because more sunshine is on the cards for Good Friday and Saturday.

:25:10. > :25:13.This evening, dry and fine with increasing cloud. Late in the night,

:25:14. > :25:19.thicker cloud will bring drizzle to the northwest. Elsewhere dry and not

:25:20. > :25:24.as cold as recent nights. The lowest temperature around four Celsius.

:25:25. > :25:30.Tomorrow will not be as nice as today. A bright start in the

:25:31. > :25:35.southeast. Elsewhere will be cloudy. A little rain and drizzle dying out

:25:36. > :25:40.as it moves south-east. Becoming dry and brighter during the afternoon.

:25:41. > :25:44.Cooler than today, especially on the north and west coast. Top

:25:45. > :25:48.temperatures of 11 to 15 Celsius with a breeze. Tomorrow evening, the

:25:49. > :25:54.odd shower in the north otherwise a dry night. The cloud clearing and a

:25:55. > :25:59.colder night. A widespread ground frost in the countryside with the

:26:00. > :26:02.odd mist patch. The chart for Good Friday shows a ridge of high

:26:03. > :26:07.pressure over the UK and that means settled weather. So the forecast for

:26:08. > :26:12.Friday is good. Any morning mist will clear, leaving a dry day. Lots

:26:13. > :26:15.of sunshine with a few clouds. Temperatures rising to 13 Celsius

:26:16. > :26:20.with light winds and sea breezes. Saturday will be another dry day. A

:26:21. > :26:25.sunny start with cumulus clouds building-up as temperatures rise.

:26:26. > :26:29.The high around 13 Celsius with a light to mod breeze. Sunday may

:26:30. > :26:33.start dry and bright in the west but then go downhill with low pressure

:26:34. > :26:37.and rain spreading west across the country. The wind picking-up as

:26:38. > :26:40.well, making it feel cold. So, Good Friday and Saturday the best days of

:26:41. > :26:45.the Easter weekend if you're planning a picnic, BBQ or a trip to

:26:46. > :26:49.the sea side. It could change but at the moment it looks like an umbrella

:26:50. > :26:54.will come in handy on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday. So, a change

:26:55. > :26:59.tomorrow, much cloudier with spots of rain dying out. A fine start to

:27:00. > :27:06.the holiday weekend but the signs are it won't last.

:27:07. > :27:13.Tonight's headlines. A ferry carrying hundreds of schoolchildren

:27:14. > :27:18.has capsized and sunk off the coast of South Korea. 164 people have been

:27:19. > :27:23.rescued by almost 300 are still missing. Five are confirmed dead but

:27:24. > :27:27.that number is expected to rise considerably.

:27:28. > :27:33.Unemployment has fallen again in Wales. 102,000 people are out of

:27:34. > :27:36.work. That is 6000 fewer than the last quarter.

:27:37. > :27:39.I'll have an update for you here at 8.00pm and again after the BBC News

:27:40. > :27:41.at 10.00pm. That's Wales Today. Thank you for watching. Have a good

:27:42. > :27:43.evening.
