:00:12. > :00:17.Good evening. The counting has begun in Wales for the votes cast in the

:00:18. > :00:21.European elections. The Welsh votes are being counted across the country

:00:22. > :00:23.tonight - but the results will be declared in Fishguard in

:00:24. > :00:32.Pembrokeshire and our Political Editor Nick Servini is there. Nick.

:00:33. > :00:36.Well, Gary, the counters have been briefed at the last minute before

:00:37. > :00:39.they begin the process. They are counting for Pembrokeshire here. The

:00:40. > :00:43.results will come out on the big screen you can see behind me. We

:00:44. > :00:47.will get a formal declaration after 10pm tonight and we have a real

:00:48. > :00:56.contest on our hands. Everyone except that it will be very tight.

:00:57. > :01:02.-- everyone accepts. The strongest parties are going to be Labour and

:01:03. > :01:06.UKIP. A big question is whether Labour can generate enough support

:01:07. > :01:10.to have an added seat, in which case, the Conservatives or Clyde

:01:11. > :01:17.Camry will lose one of their candidates. Turnout has been lower

:01:18. > :01:22.at 32%. It has been higher in some of the areas where the Conservatives

:01:23. > :01:30.are strongest. One of the questions is, to what extent have they got

:01:31. > :01:36.their core bowed out. Another key question is how strong UKIP has

:01:37. > :01:41.performed across Wales. Anecdotal indications are that they have

:01:42. > :01:44.performed strongly. Nick, thank you. And we'll have more from the count

:01:45. > :01:48.in our late bulletin tonight. There's also up to the minute

:01:49. > :01:54.coverage of the results from the team at BBC Wales news website live

:01:55. > :01:57.page - go to bbc.co.uk/walesnews. Tourism is now worth ?256 million to

:01:58. > :02:00.the Anglesey economy, new figures show. That's thanks to a boost in

:02:01. > :02:04.the number of people visiting the island. Over 1.5 million people

:02:05. > :02:07.visited Anglesey in 2013 - five % more than the previous year. The

:02:08. > :02:18.study by the steam research programme suggests the good weather

:02:19. > :02:22.last summer was a key factor. The Queen's Baton Relay has spent its

:02:23. > :02:25.second day in Wales as it makes its way to Glasgow for the Commonwealth

:02:26. > :02:28.Games. Today's journey started in Llantrisant and ended in Llandrindod

:02:29. > :02:38.where around a thousand people came out to cheer it on. Paul Heaney has

:02:39. > :02:42.been following its progress. Rhys Williams from Bridgend swaps the

:02:43. > :02:45.hurdles for the Queen's Baton Relay this morning on its second day in

:02:46. > :02:52.Wales, at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant. Starting production of

:02:53. > :02:57.a new 50p coin, he hopes the athletics this summer will make a

:02:58. > :02:59.lasting impression. This should be a springboard and an opportunity for

:03:00. > :03:03.people to take up sports so I hope it proves to be exactly that and

:03:04. > :03:08.people support the Games, and take up new sports. A small crowd then

:03:09. > :03:15.welcomed the baton relay near Aberdare. This is where I am based,

:03:16. > :03:19.this is where I am set up, this is everything. It is great to see local

:03:20. > :03:25.people coming out and supporting me. They are part of this whole thing.

:03:26. > :03:36.It is an honour. Norman Price carried the Batten -- the baton

:03:37. > :03:40.relay at the 1958 Empire Games. It makes people more aware of it and

:03:41. > :03:45.what the Commonwealth Games are all about. I am Welsh and it rained most

:03:46. > :03:51.of the year! That is why I like indoor sports because I do not like

:03:52. > :03:58.the rain. No worries, I will cope. A musical welcome at the Aberdare

:03:59. > :04:03.Park. The weather was blamed for fewer people turning out than last

:04:04. > :04:09.year. Many of those I spoke to are already members of sports clubs and

:04:10. > :04:15.are out to show support. We think we have 4000 people here already. The

:04:16. > :04:19.sports village is really busy and lots of fruit and are trying new

:04:20. > :04:23.things. The Batten relayed travels north into mid Wales as it continues

:04:24. > :04:27.to drum up support for the Games across the country.

:04:28. > :04:30.Football, and Gareth Bale has been celebrating scoring a vital goal

:04:31. > :04:33.which helped Real Madrid to victory last night in the Champions League

:04:34. > :04:36.final against Atletico Madrid. The Welshman put the side in front in

:04:37. > :04:39.extra time with an important header. Afterwards, Bale celebrated the 4-1

:04:40. > :04:42.win with a Welsh flag, and later joined his team-mates for

:04:43. > :04:51.celebrations back on the streets of Madrid. It is amazing, for me this

:04:52. > :04:57.is why I came here. It is what I wanted to do. To win the Champions

:04:58. > :05:01.League in my first season is a dream come true. We have played them and

:05:02. > :05:05.they are difficult to break down. We knew we had to keep going and not

:05:06. > :05:07.wait until the last minute. Let's get the weather forecast now -

:05:08. > :05:10.here's Georgina Burnett. get the weather forecast now -

:05:11. > :05:15.here's Georgina Good evening. We continue with our team of changeable

:05:16. > :05:19.weather over the next couple of days. The showers have been here

:05:20. > :05:23.today but they have been confined to the West Coast. A cloudy night in

:05:24. > :05:30.store, slightly clearer to the east but there may fog patches developing

:05:31. > :05:34.in the early morning. Temperatures down to seven or eight Celsius and

:05:35. > :05:37.milder down towards the south. Tomorrow, some sunny spells around,

:05:38. > :05:42.the best of any sunshine on the West Coast. We are looking at a mixture

:05:43. > :05:46.of sunshine and showers, though. Those showers are quite heavy,

:05:47. > :05:51.perhaps thundery at times with temperatures reaching 17 Celsius.

:05:52. > :05:55.The showers fade away later but they return on Tuesday. We may have rain

:05:56. > :05:59.pushing in from the East but altogether, it is weak of sunshine

:06:00. > :06:02.and showers. That's Wales Today. I'll be back just after ten to
