Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories: A miner who almost died at | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Gleision describes how he crawled along a conveyor belt to escape as | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
water quickly swept through the colliery. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
They decide what gets built in some of the most beautiful parts of the | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
country but calls for powers to be stripped from the National Parks. | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
Unhealthy hotspots. The parts of Wales with the highest health risks | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
in Britain. Hogging parking spaces. The motor | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
homes outstaying their welcome in this seaside town. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
It's very unfair I feel on the residents here who have bed and | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
breakfast businesses. There should be a sea view and all they can see | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
is a line of caravans. In tonight's sport: As Ryan Giggs | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
prepares for his first game in charge of Manchester United his old | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
team mate is hoping he can do Cardiff City a favour and beat one | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
of their relegation rivals. I spoke to Giggsy, of course. I | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
wished him all the best and that a boy from Cardiff should do us | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
favours now. And I'm at Pontypridd Rugby Club | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
where they're getting ready for one of their biggest games in years. | :01:09. | :01:25. | |
Good evening. A miner working at the Gleision Colliery has been | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
describing his dramatic escape when the pit flooded killing some of his | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
colleagues. David Wyatt described how he'd been pinned down by the | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
volume of water but managed to frantically crawl to safety. Four | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
other miners lost their lives in the tragedy three years ago. From | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Swansea Crown Court, Nick Palit reports. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
The 15th of September 2011 and rescuers work frantically at the | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Gleision mine hoping to save the lives of four men trapped | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
underground. But their efforts were in vain. David Powell, Gary Jenkins, | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Philip Hill and Charles Breslin all drowned, after 650,000 tonnes of | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
water poured into the area where they were working 275 metres into | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
the mountain. Prior to the flooding explosives had been used to break | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
coal away from the seam. The company which own the mine and the mine | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
manager were charged with manslaughter. Today at Swansea Crown | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Court, miner David Wyatt described what happened on the day the tragedy | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
unfolded. Mr Wyatt, who'd been working at the pit since March 2010, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
said it was his job to load coal onto the conveyor belt or Panzer. He | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
described how he'd been at his station about ten yards away from | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
fellow miner Garry Jenkins working in cramped conditions with a roof | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
height of just two foot six inches in places. He said suddenly there | :02:48. | :03:01. | |
was a noise like a jet engine, like washing. Close to tears, he said how | :03:02. | :03:14. | |
he jumped onto the conveyor belt. I crawled, I crawled he said. He told | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
the court he could hear the noise behind in getting louder and louder | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
and then it pinned me against the wall. He described how he rolled | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
over the conveyor belt and managed to get 40 or 50 yards up the main | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
drift until exhaustion forced in to stop. He said the water stopped four | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
yards behind him. As he tried to crawl out of the mine he screamed at | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
colleague Nigel Evans who was in front of him to get out quickly. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
This map, which was shown in court, shows the size and complexity of the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Gleision Colliery. This is where the men would enter the mine. At the | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
bottom of the main drift is what's called Heading one or H1. This is | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
where Gary Jenkins's body was later found. This is where the three other | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
men breached old workings, releasing enough water to fill an Olympic size | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
swimming pool. Experts estimate the flood water was travelling at speeds | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
of up to 21 miles per hour. Mine manager Malcolm Fyfield just escaped | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
in time. Today the first police inspector on the scene described how | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Mr Fyfield exited the mine dishevelled, soaking wet and with a | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
gash on his head. Mr Fyfield denies four charges of manslaughter through | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
gross negligence and the mine operators, MNS mining, deny four | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
counts of corporate manslaughter. The trial continues. | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
A man accused of shooting his wife in the street will go on trial for | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
her murder. Caroline Parry died after being found near her home in | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Newport. Christopher Parry suffered gunshot wounds to his head during | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the incident. He has admitted carrying a firearm or imitation | :04:44. | :04:53. | |
firearm with criminal intent. Wales' three National Parks should | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
be stripped of their planning powers as a first step towards abolishing | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
them altogether. That's the call from the Farmers' Union of Wales. It | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
claims the parks are anti-farming and anti-business. Abigail Neal has | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
been finding out more. Such beauty has a unique value. Sometimes that | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
means development can be a thorny issue. I with three national parks | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
in Brecon, Pembrokeshire and Snowdonia say what can and can't be | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
built within their boundaries. Farmers want them to lose this | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
power. There is an inconsistency in the way they operate. It is | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
undemocratic and it tends to be more concerned with tourism and incomers | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
than it is with the need to population and agriculture. The | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Farmers' Union of Wales is calling for planning powers to be | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
transferred to local authorities instead. The raise some support from | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
small businesses. Tyrone Williams has a storage yard within | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
Pembrokeshire national park. His planning permission has come with so | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
many conditions. I can't come here after hours and there is no light | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
available here. I have put lights up here but they do not comply. They | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
are threatening to take me to court because I haven't complained with | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
the conditions -- complied. Mr Williams has been helped by an | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
architect who has taken on a number of disputes against the national | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
parks. I have been a practitioner right across Wales for 50 years. | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
There is a negative culture. It is as if we are in a museum. The | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
national parks told me they were surprised by this attack because | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
figures show they approve 85% of that -- applications. Farmers turned | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
to benefit quite a bit from the work of national park authorities so I am | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
slightly surprised the Farmers' Union of Wales are taking decisions | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
that might be detrimental. These complaints from farmers and small | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
businesses are not new but they are coming at the time of change because | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
the last government is consulting on a new draft planning Bill. One of | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the proposals is to reduce the number of planning authorities in | :07:14. | :07:27. | |
Wales. The data breach has affected three Welsh councils. In a letter | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
sent to residents, Rhondda Cynon Taff council says details from | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
before -- full electoral roll were released accidentally in March. | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Caerphilly Council on Torfaen Council have admitted they have been | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
affected by the same glitch. All the local authorities say they have | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
taken action to try to fix the errors. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
How healthy is your neighbourhood? Well, you can find out by using a | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
new online map. It highlights the risk of developing certain diseases | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
depending on where you live. Parts of South Wales comes out top in many | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
categories. Researchers at Imperial College London studied the risk of | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
developing 14 conditions, including heart disease and lung cancer. They | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
found people in Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taf are more at risk of | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
diseases like lung cancer and kidney disease. Skin cancer was more of a | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
risk in parts of Pembrokeshire and heart disease in some areas of | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
Flintshire. Professor Paul Elliott helped carry out the research and | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
joins me now. Good evening. You quality health | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
Atlas. How does it work? We hold all the national data on mortality, | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
birds and so on and what we have done is taken that data together. We | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
have mapped it on a local scale and has not been done before. We want to | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
look at your graphic variability and ask questions of the data as to why | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
some areas may be higher and others lower. What type of data were you | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
looking at? We have cancer incidence eight and data from birth records | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
including stillbirth and also low birth weight when a mother gives | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
birth to a child. Parts of south Wales fared pretty badly. Why are | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
people there more asterisk? We tried to take account of where people | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
lived in pool areas and affluent areas. People living in poorer areas | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
have worse health. This reflects lifestyle in particular smoking. In | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Wales, perhaps that's correction was not as good as it wasn't the rest of | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
England. Perhaps some of the deprivation factors have been in. | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
That is reflecting smoking rates and lifestyle. There is a heritage of | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
industrial activity in Wales. We are looking over a long period of time | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
and people carry that risk forward with them. What do you hope will | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
happen with this research now? How useful is it? This is the first time | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
that simply have put together this amount of data. It just raises | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
questions. We see it as important for health policy and research is to | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
look at the date and how to understand the patterns. Then we | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
need to ask questions which will be studied in other types of study | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
including individual level. This isn't about individual risk but the | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
type of various people live in and the risk of those areas. You are | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
hoping policymakers will act on your research? It has raised an awful lot | :10:47. | :10:56. | |
of interest. The website has had 2 million hits an hour since it went | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
live today so people are interested to know about and to question why | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
there are variations on what causes the variations, to understand better | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
our health and that will lead to prevention in future. Thank you very | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
much for your time this evening. And if you want to find out how your | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
neighbourhood fares in the research go to envhealthatlas.co.uk. | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
You're watching Wales Today, a reminder of our top story. A miner | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
who almost died at Gleision has told a court the moment the pit flooded | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
sounded like a "jet engine". And coming up: We're at Pontypridd Rugby | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
Club where they're getting ready for one of their biggest games in years. | :11:40. | :11:50. | |
It has one of the best views in West Wales but residents living along a | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
part of the prom in Aberystwyth aren't happy. They're complaining | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
that holiday makers are parking big motor homes along the front spoiling | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
the view and taking-up parking spaces. Ceredigion Council is now | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
considering putting parking restrictions in place. Charlotte | :12:05. | :12:14. | |
Dubenskij reports. It is a breathtaking view. But for | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
some residents living here instead of the calming sea, they are seeing | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
red. The complaint holiday-makers are bringing motorhomes and parking | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
here for weeks at a time because there are no restrictions. It is | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
very unfair on the residents here who have bed-and-breakfast | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
businesses. They have their client is looking through windows where | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
they should be ace EV land all they can see is a line of caravans. Over | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
a 24-hour period we filmed the same campers parked up. One owner told me | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
there is no alternative. They are not allowing anywhere else for the | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
camper van is to park. They are big vehicles are they have to have a bit | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
of space to park in. We can't leave our camper van wherever we are | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
staying and then come into the towns. We have to bring it with us. | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
It is our vehicle. But the local county council says that is not the | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
case. There are lots of caravan sites around the area. There is one | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
about a mile away. They could park there and they could walk the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
distance. It seems it is a cheap holiday with the can park for free. | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
There are already parking restrictions here on the northside | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
of the promenade. The recommendation is to extend those now to the south | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
side. That movie is being welcomed by some businesses which rely on | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
trade from tourists. If it was restricted to two or three hours we | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
would have more holidaying makers. If they were staying in the evenings | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
I don't see a problem but I can understand why they are staying all | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
day. Residents have already made their views known to Ceredigion | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Council and a decision will be made next month. Until then, people here | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
may have to put up with having rooms without a sea view. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
12 new musicians have been picked for a BBC Wales and Arts Council | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
project to promote talented performers. Announced as part of BBC | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Radio Wales Music Day in Wrexham, the Horizons Scheme chose a dozen | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
artists from 300 entries. They'll get the chance to showcase their | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
music live on radio programmes as well as having professional | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
recording sessions and photo shoots. There's something for everybody. If | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
you love folk music there'll be something for you. If you love | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
electronic music. And also there are incredible, beautiful personalities | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
as well. Over the next 12 months by listening to Radio Cymru, Radio | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Wales people will get to know them quite well. | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Rare notebooks and manuscripts belonging to Dylan Thomas have | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
arrived at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth from the | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
University of Buffalo in New York. The loan also includes a series of | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
black and white photographs of the poet rarely seen. They'll be shown | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
at an exhibition to mark the centenary of his birth. | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
Another crucial weekend for both our Premier League sides. Here's Claire | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
with tonight's sport. Good evening. Yes, and a resurgent | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Manchester United can do Cardiff City a favour tomorrow afternoon by | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
beating one of their relegation rivals - Norwich. Former Wales | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
captain, Ryan Giggs has admitted he's a little nervous about taking | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
charge of Manchester United for the first time. Speaking at his first | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
press conference as interim manager he said it had been a chaotic week, | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
and he was hoping to get a good result tomorrow. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
I'm just concentrating on the short time, on the four game remaining and | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
that's my main focus. My main focus is on tomorrow against Norwich which | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
is going to be a tough game because they're fighting for their lives. I | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
want to see goals, I want the passion. My immediate aim is to win | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
Saturday. And that will please his former | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
United team-mate and now Cardiff City manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
He revealed he's spoken to both David Moyes and Ryan Giggs this week | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
and hopes United can do them a favour by beating Norwich, who sit | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
just above them in the table. Cardiff play Sunderland who are | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
bottom on Sunday. Three games to go now and we're two | :16:30. | :16:39. | |
points over knowledge. It is a situation everybody would take at | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
the start of the season the Erin with a shout. It is the first time | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
in 51 years, you can't expect this to going to mid-table. Three games | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
to go. We have got a chance. Tomorrow, Swansea City are aiming | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
for back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in over a year. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Aston Villa are the visitors to the Liberty Stadium where the Swans held | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
an open training session for fans this week. Caretaker head coach, | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Garry Monk, says he wants to ensure the club's top-flight survival | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
before discussing his own future. We have to mathematically make it for | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
certain. We are not for certain. If we go into these three games and we | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
don't get any points and the other teams get points, it is relegation | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
for us. We need to fight for three points. When it is mathematically | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
then that is when we consider and with the chairman of the club and | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
see what the future is and what they're thinking is. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
Meanwhile, the Football Association of Wales has confirmed it has | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
submitted a bid to UEFA to be chosen as one for Cardiff of the 13 host | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
cities for the 2020 European Football Championships. The bid | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
includes hosting matches at the Millennium Stadium, including three | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
group games, plus either a last 16 or a quarter final match. | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
The Welsh regions may be out of Europe but Pontypridd Rugby Club are | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
flying the flag and play in one of their most important games in a | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
decade tomorrow afternoon. A bumper crowd is expected at Sardis Road to | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
watch them take on Leinster A in the semifinal of the British and Irish | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
Cup. The side are being put through their final paces in training | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
tonight and Jordan Davies is there for us. | :18:19. | :18:30. | |
Welcome to Sardis Road. Otherwise known as the house of pain. They are | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
going through their final paces. All we have got to do now is wait for | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
the 5000 people to turn to fill the stadium. It will be a chance for | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
this club to relive its glory days. If I can start with you, this tops | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
off a good season for you. The club has never made it through to the | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
final of this competition before. It is a tough task. They have got a | :19:03. | :19:10. | |
very good squad. They have got a lot of experience. We have got to go at | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
them. We are confident having beaten them last season. How is the | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
training been so far? It is nice and light, seeing the game is tomorrow. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
You remember the glory days of the mid-90s. It is a chance to recapture | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
that. It should be a tremendous occasion tomorrow. The atmosphere | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
here is always great. We have had tremendous support. That hasn't | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
changed since the mid-90s. There is plenty of cheered about in the last | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
few years. We are looking forward to this tomorrow. Is it the same old | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
faces who are still supporting you? Yes, the end of the day they are | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
born and bred Pontypridd. That is their club. We very thankful for the | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
support they have given us. I am sure they are looking forward as | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
much as anyone to host the team of Leinster's calibre. And the added | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
incentive is it will be a home tie if you win. Having a home final | :20:26. | :20:35. | |
would be tremendous. We are under no illusions about the enormity of the | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
task tomorrow. It'll be nice if we could make it. It chance to relive | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
the glory days here. 5000 people, you should be a great game. | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
Now most of us know all about the growing popularity of mountain | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
biking in Wales. Well, there's a push this weekend to encourage more | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
people with disabilities to take up the sport. Today at the Coed y | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Brenin centre near Dolgellau, instructors were getting to grips | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
with the specially built adaptive bikes. Tomorrow there's a have a go | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
session at Morfa Mawddach and on Sunday a full blown eight hour | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
mountain trek. Awareness, I think, is the challenge. One of the | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
objectives from our weekend is to just let people know that these | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
kinds of places exist. We're not the only place, we're one of a very few | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
at the moment but hopefully that's going to change as more people start | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
asking the question, can I do that too? The answer is, generally, yes. | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
You can crash these just as well as you can crash a two wheeled bike! | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
Whatever your weekend plans are, you'll need to know the weather | :21:40. | :21:40. | |
forecast. Derek has the details. Good evening. The waterproofs will | :21:41. | :21:51. | |
come in handy this weekend. There is some rain on the way. Heavy showers | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
and windier. But I can promise some dry weather and sunny spells as | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
well. Talking of sunshine, Pembrokeshire was the place to be | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
today. Beautiful in Tenby. Elsewhere, cloudier with rain | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
spreading into south east, mid and north Wales during the afternoon. A | :22:09. | :22:20. | |
few heavy showers in the south west. This evening, rain in the north east | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
will clear. Elsewhere any showers will die away. Dry for a time but | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
then a band of rain will spread north across the country after | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
midnight. The wind picking-up as well. The reason for the wind and | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
rain is an area of low pressure centred over the Celtic Sea | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
tomorrow. Now, by eight in the morning the rain will have cleared | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
from the north coast leaving most places dry with some sunshine. | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
However, there will be a few showers in the south and west. Breezy on the | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
coast. So some dry weather tomorrow but showers will become more | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
widespread during the afternoon. Most of them in the south where they | :23:06. | :23:13. | |
will be heavy. The best of the sunshine in the north. Top | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
temperature 12-15 Celsius and breezy. Strong winds in the south | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
west and on the Bristol Channel coast. The Tour of Pembrokeshire | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
cycle ride is taking place tomorrow. It may start dry but blustery | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
showers are forecast. A strong wind as well. Good luck. In Conwy | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
tomorrow, sunny spells with a few showers in the afternoon. A high of | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
15C in Betws y Coed. In the Vale of Glamorgan, the morning may be dry | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
but expect showers in the afternoon. Windy on the coast. 13C in Barry. | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Tomorrow night further showers, especially in the south. A few in | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
mid Wales. Drier in the north. The wind easing as well. Sunday hit and | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
miss with showers. Heavy in places with a risk of thunder but some dry, | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
brighter spells as well. Gaps in the cloud and sunny intervals. | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
Temperatures around average with a north easterly breeze. Next week, | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
some sunshine. Also a little rain and a few showers. The signs are it | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
will turn colder for the start of May with lower temperatures and even | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
some frost. Mixed weather this weekend, some showers and sunny | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
intervals as well. The main news again from the BBC. A | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
miner working at the Gleision Colliery has been describing his | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
dramatic escape when the pit flooded, killing some of his | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
colleagues. Four men lost their lives in the tragedy three years | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
ago. The manager and mine owners deny manslaughter charges. | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
And the Royal Bank of Scotland has abandoned attempts to pay bonuses | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
twice the size of salaries after being told the move would not be | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
approved. I'll have an update for you at eight | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
and a full round-up after the BBC News at Ten. That's Wales Today, | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
from all of us here have a great weekend. Good evening. | :24:59. | :24:59. |
