A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder

:00:17.:00:18.

after two men were stabbed in Blackwood late last night.

:00:19.:00:22.

The incident happened on Bryn Road and Apollo Way in the town.

:00:23.:00:25.

The two men, both from the area, remain in hospital.

:00:26.:00:28.

With the first day of competition at the National Eisteddfod in Llanelli

:00:29.:00:33.

underway, there are warnings tonight that council re-organisation could

:00:34.:00:35.

impact how much money the festival gets in the future. Joannna Rowlands

:00:36.:00:38.

A soggy start to Wales's biggest cultural festival but is there

:00:39.:00:50.

another dark cloud looming with a warning tonight that local

:00:51.:00:54.

government we organisation could affect the National Eisteddfod

:00:55.:00:58.

future funding. Its annual budget is ?3.6 million. 9% of that comes from

:00:59.:01:06.

all 22 of Wales' councils. But at the number of councils is reduced

:01:07.:01:12.

and Borders change, there are claims that it may affect the funding. The

:01:13.:01:19.

current scheme allows the macro one -- the National Eisteddfod to go to

:01:20.:01:26.

other places such as Morgan and that has captured the imagination of

:01:27.:01:30.

people in those locations. What that level of support would be, that is a

:01:31.:01:34.

different matter. I think the challenge at the moment is to retain

:01:35.:01:39.

the current level. I think it would be very challenging to try and

:01:40.:01:44.

increase it. At the moment, we have not discussed this at all because I

:01:45.:01:49.

think everybody is waiting to see what happens if reorganisation does

:01:50.:01:54.

happen. Competitions are already well underway with this year's

:01:55.:01:59.

funding firmly secured but it seems inevitable that the question of how

:02:00.:02:02.

the National Eisteddfod get its money in the future will not go away

:02:03.:02:06.

for some time yet. It is taken of the Commonweath

:02:07.:02:11.

Games. Good afternoon. With a day to go,

:02:12.:02:19.

Wales' medal tally stands at 34 but none of them have come from track of

:02:20.:02:23.

field athletes. There is plenty of interest tonight as our reporter now

:02:24.:02:32.

reports. Hampden Park has not been a happy hunting ground. With no medals

:02:33.:02:36.

so far, a review will be carried out after the games. But can Wales

:02:37.:02:40.

flourish on the final night of competition? The women's relay team

:02:41.:02:46.

made it through to the final, eventually. The quartet were

:02:47.:02:49.

initially disqualified for an illegal changeover of the bat on.

:02:50.:02:54.

They demanded a video review and were reinstated. Chris go all was

:02:55.:03:01.

impressive in qualifying and will go into the final. Another Swansea

:03:02.:03:08.

athlete finished ninth in the 10,000 metres. She goes again in the 5000

:03:09.:03:15.

tonight. Elsewhere, Welsh boxers are picking up bronze medals. There is

:03:16.:03:22.

some frustration that not one boxer made it through for a chance to

:03:23.:03:27.

fight for gold. Every boxer wants to win a gold medal. I think the

:03:28.:03:36.

performance was fantastic. Five medals. A great starting point for

:03:37.:03:42.

us. After short break, the women boxers will prepare for the world

:03:43.:03:46.

Championships in November. Then, litigation for the Olympics start

:03:47.:03:48.

early next year. But when -- men and women's cycling

:03:49.:03:56.

happens tomorrow morning. We will have news of that and we will be

:03:57.:04:00.

looking forward to the closing ceremony here tomorrow night. That

:04:01.:04:04.

is all from us here tonight. Back to you.

:04:05.:04:14.

Cricket. The Morgan -- Glamorgan has stopped play because of the weather.

:04:15.:04:18.

Lots Cricket. The Morgan -- Glamorgan has

:04:19.:04:19.

stopped play because of the weather. Lots of the wet stuff around today.

:04:20.:04:23.

You can see the shower free rein swirling around. Also tonight, very

:04:24.:04:29.

breezy for this time of year. The wind is picking up through the

:04:30.:04:35.

night. Temperatures down to 13 or 14 Celsius. Tomorrow morning, still

:04:36.:04:38.

some showery bits and pieces hang around but once it clears, a largely

:04:39.:04:46.

dry day. Maybe one or two showers around. Not too cool. Temperatures

:04:47.:04:52.

in reaching 20 Celsius. Still the south to south-westerly breeze so

:04:53.:04:56.

bright and breezy day for Sunday and fairly decent on Sunday as well

:04:57.:04:59.

before it becomes unsettled again on Tuesday.

:05:00.:05:01.

There is more online stop we are that you have a very good evening,

:05:02.:05:05.

goodbye.
