:00:00. > :00:16.Thank you for The number of people in Wales
:00:17. > :00:19.diagnosed with the most serious form of skin cancer has more than
:00:20. > :00:23.quadrupled in the last 40 years. It's time for the Welsh government
:00:24. > :00:30.to take responsibility for pay and conditions. At this teachers would
:00:31. > :00:35.be out of pocket. Empty playgrounds and locked gates.
:00:36. > :00:39.Last month, half of Wales 's schools will either wholly or partially
:00:40. > :00:44.closed as teachers walk out on strike. It's an ongoing dispute over
:00:45. > :00:48.pay and conditions. Although education in Wales is mainly a
:00:49. > :00:52.devolved issue, amateur teacher here gets paid as a matter for
:00:53. > :00:56.Westminster. Today a Welsh union which represents 5000 teachers in
:00:57. > :01:01.Wales says it's a situation that can't continue.
:01:02. > :01:06.The true education systems in Wales and England are diverging so quickly
:01:07. > :01:12.that it's time for the Welsh government to take responsibility
:01:13. > :01:15.for pay and conditions in Wales. The decision to develop a system where
:01:16. > :01:20.there is more local power, more powers for schools to decide on the
:01:21. > :01:23.pay of individual teachers is a greater threat to teachers in
:01:24. > :01:28.Wales. Last month, a major report
:01:29. > :01:32.recommended that teachers pay and conditions be devolved. The
:01:33. > :01:36.education minister welcomed that recommendation but most teaching
:01:37. > :01:40.unions oppose it. At the annual conference today, the Nu Teeside
:01:41. > :01:44.Wales can't afford its own framework for teachers and its members would
:01:45. > :01:48.lose out. Inevitably it will lead to teachers
:01:49. > :01:52.in Wales being paid less because we are in low paid economy. We were
:01:53. > :01:56.probably then see adrift of experienced teachers across the
:01:57. > :02:00.border to England. Many in the education profession believe that
:02:01. > :02:02.strikes like these could be avoided if the Welsh government takes
:02:03. > :02:07.control. But many more idea that would come
:02:08. > :02:13.at a cost. In Wales, we cannot afford that. The Fire Service is
:02:14. > :02:16.urging people to report grass fires after receiving a hundred calls in
:02:17. > :02:22.one day. Crews have tackled at least 480
:02:23. > :02:29.fires since April. It has cost ?850,000 this year.
:02:30. > :02:34.The blues and the ospreys both came out on top this afternoon at the
:02:35. > :02:38.Millennium Stadium. With the Scarlets playing for
:02:39. > :02:45.Europe, the blues playing for a third win and most playing to press
:02:46. > :02:50.the Wales coast, today was good. Alex Cuthbert got the best start for
:02:51. > :02:55.the blues. He didn't have long to celebrate, taking out in the air by
:02:56. > :03:00.Liam Williams. Yellow card? It could have been a riot. Rees Priestland
:03:01. > :03:08.had tried putting the Scarlets back. But Miss a conversion. It seemed
:03:09. > :03:12.like a quieter second half until two red cards, one for Robin Copeland
:03:13. > :03:16.and a second yellow for Liam Williams for slowing the ball. Ken
:03:17. > :03:20.Owens had the best break and minutes later was able to finish it,
:03:21. > :03:24.bringing the Scarlets within a point. But a point. Better penalty
:03:25. > :03:30.put an end to hopes of sneaking the win. Blues, Scarlets 13. Plenty of
:03:31. > :03:36.action is early in the Dragons ospreys game and frustration. The
:03:37. > :03:41.ospreys, the only region still hunting a pro 12 semifinal place,
:03:42. > :03:48.couldn't take chances. Ryan Jones stops the dragons taking theirs. It
:03:49. > :03:53.was the Dragons who got on the scoresheet first with a try from
:03:54. > :03:57.Richie Rees. The ospreys waited patiently to respond. Tom
:03:58. > :04:01.Habberfield crossed the line to button briefly ahead. A penalty for
:04:02. > :04:06.the dragons levelled the score afterwards. It all came down to the
:04:07. > :04:10.final few minutes. A penalty try for the ospreys sealed the win at 20
:04:11. > :04:15.points to ten. Circle. After the world
:04:16. > :04:19.Championships tonight, Ryan Day is now down to the last frame against
:04:20. > :04:24.Stephen Maguire to decide who is through to the second round. Time
:04:25. > :04:29.for the weather forecast. We do have some rain in the forecast
:04:30. > :04:33.but once that clears, much better conditions for tomorrow. That rain
:04:34. > :04:39.band clearing north and West Woods, drier with some clearer skies. Light
:04:40. > :04:42.winds overnight with temperatures down to six Celsius. That will give
:04:43. > :04:47.us a dry start to Mendes with some sunshine. By the afternoon we will
:04:48. > :04:51.start seat a few showers creeping into passive powers. They could be
:04:52. > :04:57.happier and could be mixed with thunder. That's Wales today. Thanks
:04:58. > :05:05.for watching. Good night. two showers. April showers for much
