The number of motorcyclists dying on our roads has gone up | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
significantly this year, that's the warning from two chief constables. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
They're blaming excessive speed for the rise in injuries | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
and fatalities in the North Wales and Dyfed Powys force areas. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
The police say they'll continue to support schemes which educate | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
There are around 54,000 motorcycles licensed on the roads of Wales. | :00:38. | :00:50. | |
And with fuel prices making cars more expensive to run, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
But it's a sobering thought that the risk of being killed or | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
seriously injured on a motorbike is around 78 times greater than | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
Last year, there were 17 motorcycle deaths on the roads here. | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
But already this year, that figure's almost been matched | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
In one, there have been 11 deaths already, up from two last year and | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
Police say the beautiful countryside of Mid and | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
North Wales is a draw for bikers, but excessive speeds, particularly | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
The typical person buying a bike is between 35 and 50. | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
People who've got a bit of disposable income, | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
they are going back to bikes and not getting any further training, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
going out not regularly so they're permanent novices, if you like. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
They are buying big powerful bikes and getting into trouble. | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
As we get older, our reactions get slower and eyesight starts to go. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
It's really important to take on some further training. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
The police say they'll continue to support schemes like Bike Safe | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
which educates riders about the risks of riding inappropriately. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
This is the latest scene of a fatal motorcycle accident. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
At the weekend, a 53-year-old man was killed here. | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Despite motorbikes making up just 0.2% of traffic on our roads here | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
in Wales, 39% of all fatal and serious casualties are | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
motorcyclists, a figure that the police want to see reduced. | :02:36. | :02:47. | |
Hundreds of homes in Blaenau Gwent are still without gas, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
four days after supplies were cut by a water leak. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Wales and West Utilities say they're working to reconnect 660 | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
They've already removed hundreds of thousands of litres of water | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
from gas pipes in the area, which were flooded on last Thursday. | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
On the night of the second television debate | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
on Scottish independence, both the Welsh Secretary and the | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
First Minister of Wales have urged Scottish voters to stay in Britain. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb campaigning in Scotland, said: | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
"Britain is a family of strong nations." | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
While Carwyn Jones, writing in the Daily Record, said the idea of a | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
currency union with an independent Scotland would be "bad for Britain". | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
The SNP has spoken of "fear-mongering" | :03:34. | :03:34. | |
Football and Wrexham are down to seventh in the Conference | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
after drawing 2-2 against Macclesfield at the Racecourse. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
After falling behind, goals from Connor Jennings and | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
Macclesfield equalised through Paul Turnbull. | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
In typical Bank Holiday fashion, it was a rather wet start | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
for today's Butetown Carnival in Cardiff, the first for 16 years, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
celebrating the cultural and musical heritage of the area. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Performances and workshops are due to run throughout the evening. | :04:08. | :04:26. | |
Some early rain tomorrow, but turning dry air through the day. If | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
you downpours continuing through the night. The cloud holds up the | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
temperatures. The pressure chart shows the front that brought the | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
rain. High pressure moves from the North, so it might start grey and | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
damp with some showers, but they will fizzle out and dry up through | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
the day with brighter spells developing later on. Winds will ease | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
later. Cooler tomorrow night, and after a dry start on Wednesday, it | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
will turn wet and windy from the West. A week of changes. And I'm | :05:13. | :05:25. | |
settled and talk is. -- and unsettled. | :05:26. | :05:39. | |
Cover the contrasts across the UK, in Scotland, no bank on a day, dry, | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
plenty of sunshine, especially in the | :05:48. | :05:48. |
