That is all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Isolated for three weeks after treating patients with | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
the Ebola virus - the Welsh doctor tells us about her | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Probably one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. It was very | :00:11. | :00:24. | |
challenging. Fears for Glyndwr University - still | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
waiting to find out whether they can An appetite for the Scottish | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
referendum - we take a Welsh business there to | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
see how independence And the number of visitors to Wales | :00:37. | :00:52. | |
is on the rise, there are strong signs the industry is growing. | :00:53. | :00:53. | |
And success for Sherlock - the BBC Wales produced series wins | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
A young doctor from Swansea who's been treating | :00:57. | :01:15. | |
victims of Ebola in West Africa has told us it was one of the most | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Dr Nathalie MacDermott came home last month, but has spent | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
three weeks in isolation, as two American colleagues | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
This is myself and two of my colleagues wearing protective | :01:28. | :01:42. | |
equipment. Back home in Cardiff, | :01:43. | :01:43. | |
Dr Nathalie MacDermott is reflecting on her recent period | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
in the Liberian capital, Monrovia. Working with the charity | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
Samaritan's Purse, she helped set up a hospital ward at Elwa to treat | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
victims of the deadly Ebola virus. The outbreak has killed more than | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
1,300 people in West Africa, with many | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
of the deaths occurring in Liberia. It's been a harrowing experience | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
for the young Welsh doctor. Out of the 100 or so patients | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
she helped care for, That is William, a 12-year-old boy, | :02:06. | :02:21. | |
one of our only surviving patients. It was probably one of the most | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
traumatic experiences of my life, it was very challenging, to manage so | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
many patients and see so few survive, and also, the trauma to the | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
families of knowing that their loved one had Ebola and the likelihood | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
they would not survive was difficult to manage. It felt like we were | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
sitting on a time bomb waiting to explode and it was apparent there | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
were increasing numbers of Ebola cases not enough staff. | :02:47. | :02:47. | |
And despite all the precautions and protocols, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
medical staff in West Africa were at risk of contracting the disease. | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Nathalie MacDermott was working alongside American's Dr Kent Brantly | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
They were taken ill, but have recovered after treatment in the US. | :02:55. | :03:07. | |
Today is a miraculous day. I am thrilled to be alive, to be well, | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
and to be reunited with my family. Their illness had repercussions | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
for Dr MacDermott on her return to Wales, especially | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
as the WHO has now said Ebola has left an unprecedented number | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
of medical staff infected or dead. They were my friends and colleagues, | :03:21. | :03:34. | |
it was very unclear to us how they had contracted it, because that was | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
unclear it was quite consenting to us that we may also have had contact | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
with it. I had to be isolated for 21 days away from work and family and | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
friends and any direct physical contact. There is always a level of | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
risk when you go out to a location like this but we were confident in | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
our protocols, we have personal protective equipment that was more | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
than adequate. Today, Dr MacDermott starts back | :04:01. | :04:00. | |
in the neonatal unit at Swansea's Singleton Hospital, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
but the next time she gets leave, it'll be for another humanitarian | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
mission, rather than a holiday. Glyndwr University is facing | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
financial uncertainty just weeks That's the warning tonight | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
from a local AM. The institution is still waiting to | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
find out whether a ban on recruiting overseas students will be lifted, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
following allegations of visa fraud. Aled Roberts, | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
who's also a member of the Assembly's Education Committee, says | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
a decision needs to be made soon. The finances at the University have | :04:29. | :04:43. | |
to be secure because of the staffing within the University, without | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
maintaining staffing levels, they will be unable to provide courses, | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and without being able to provide courses, the whole future of the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
University is at risk. Our reporter Roger Pinney is | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
in Wrexham for us. So, the university was expecting | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
something more concrete today? I think it was. A yes or no, but | :04:58. | :05:10. | |
what we have had today is a maybe. This was back to June when the | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
investigation found irregularities at a company the university was | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
using to test language skills of potential non-EU students. What the | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
investigation found was that some potential students were passing | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
these language tests when in reality, their English was not up to | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
scratch. How damaging has this been for the University? That is | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
difficult to say what we know is that at the moment, around 3000 of | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
the 8800 students enrolled at the University come from non-EU | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
countries. In the last year, they contributed around ?9.5 million to | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
the budget of the University. Students already enrolled are not | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
affected by this suspension handed any event, the majority of these | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
non-EU students do not study in Wales at all, they go to a satellite | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
campus set up down in London. Working Dirk University to get this | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
back, they could stop right away. -- if Glyndwr University were to get | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
this back. The Home Office gave the University breathing space, | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
suspended their right but give it time to come up with an action plan. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
The University have done that, they have presented the Home Office with | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
a plan to make sure these abuses do not happen again. Reading between | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
the lines, the University seem quite optimistic they will get this back. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
We have been told there are still some issues to be ironed out, hence | :06:43. | :06:43. | |
the uncertainty. New figures suggest the number of | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
incidences of hate crime recorded in They were released | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
after a request by Plaid Cymru - there were 1,220 crimes recorded, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
the majority involving race. North Wales Police saw a slight | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
increase, while Gwent and Dyfed Powys recorded | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
small decreases. Around 200 homes in Blaenau Gwent | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
are still without gas, five days after supplies were cut | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
by a water leak. Wales and West Utilities say they've | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
now restored gas to 560 of the 755 properties affected | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
in Nantyglo, with washing and showering facilities available | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
at local leisure centres. More than 150,000 litres | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
of water have been removed The 65-year-old former | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Chief Executive of the ethnic minority charity Awema is accused of | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
fraud involving more than ?15,000. The jury is expected to retire to | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
consider their verdicts tomorrow. The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, | :07:44. | :07:53. | |
has weighed into the Scottish independence referendum | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
by reaffirming his opposition to a currency union if there's | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
a Yes vote. He said it would be bad for Wales | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
and the rest of the UK. His intervention came | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
after the second head-to-head debate between Scotland's First Minister, | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Alex Salmond, and the leader of the Better Together campaign, | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
Alistair Darling. Our political editor Nick Servini | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
is at the Senedd for us. How did Welsh health spending,? -- | :08:13. | :08:28. | |
come up. The issue of Wales has not featured highly in the debate so far | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
which has been largely about the relationship between Scotland and | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
England, but what Alex Salmond was getting at during the debate was | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
that British -- reduced spending on the NHS in Wales is not because of | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
decisions he says were made by the Welsh Government because of | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
decisions made by the coalition led government at Westminster. As a | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
result, Wales has suffered. The point he was getting at is that | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
devolution only goes so far and if you want real protection against | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
decisions that are made elsewhere, the only way to do that in the case | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
of Scotland, he is seeing they should go for independence. -- | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
saying. Particularly protecting from decisions made by a Conservative led | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
government at Westminster. Carwyn Jones may have some sympathy with | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
the bomber ability of the Welsh Government's budget because of | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
decisions made by London -- vulnerability, but I do not think we | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
will see much agreement between Welsh Labour and the SNP. Carwyn | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Jones has written in a daily newspaper in Scotland reaffirming | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
his strong opposition to any form of currency union or sharing of the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
pound in the event of a Yes vote. The summer recess is still going on, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
has there been any reaction tonight? I caught up with the leader | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
of blood coming today, she has described the intervention facility. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
-- the leader of Plaid Cymru. He says -- she says he does not have | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
any kind of veto when it comes to the currency union and she says or | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
his comments do is succeed in winding up the Scots. He has been | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
strong in his criticism of the Yes campaign, but that could be | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
reflective of the view of many people here who think that Wales | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
could be a part of the UK that suffers as a result of Scottish | :10:21. | :10:21. | |
independence. A vote for independence could also | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
have an impact on the Welsh economy, as many of our businesses compete | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
with similar firms in Scotland Our economics correspondent, | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Sarah Dickins, has taken a food producer from Monmouthshire to meet | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
his counterpart in Scotland, to find out exactly how Welsh businesses | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
might be affected by a Yes vote. This is Monmouthshire - | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
border country. James Swift runs a farm | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
and cured meats business from here. 10 people - and they're hands-on. | :10:47. | :10:58. | |
are very small, employing fewer than And on the Scottish border, | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
this is Peelham Farm. Their business is identical to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
James's, as is their neighbour. The English town of Berwick upon | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Tweed is over those hills - it could soon be in a separate | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
country. Berwick is our local town. It has | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
been such a comfortable Berwick is our local town. It has | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
suddenly to have this division, and it will be division, | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
suddenly to have this division, and boundary between us and our local | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
time. It feels uncomfortable. What will the consequences be? | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
So would Scottish independence give Denise the edge over James, | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
I've taken James to Scotland to find out. | :11:43. | :11:52. | |
At the moment, James and Denise compete on a level playing field. | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
That is Scottish chorizo. We make Welsh chorizo. | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
But an independent Scottish Government would be able | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
pensions contributions, which would put up costs for Scottish companies, | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
or they could slash the taxes that Scottish companies pay, which would | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
put them at a big advantage over competing Welsh firms. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
But what if an independent Scotland could no use longer the pound? | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
On one hand, that could cause uncertainty | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
in the Scottish economy, which Welsh firms may be able to capitalise on. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
But on the other hand, using a new currency, Scottish firms | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
may be able to undercut their Welsh counterparts with cheaper exports. | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
There's also the question of Scotland having to apply | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
The policy of us not being able to get backend is unlikely, but Italy, | :12:45. | :12:59. | |
The policy of us not being able to Spain and France, they are not going | :13:00. | :13:00. | |
to letters in straightaway, there will be a delay, it could be three | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
years. That few years of limbo could be extremely damaging for our | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
economy. Another argument is that | :13:08. | :13:07. | |
independence would strengthen We know that our customer base like | :13:08. | :13:19. | |
to buy something from the local economy, they like to feel their | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
pounds are going into the local economy. That is the real argument | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
that is moving people today. Maybe it it is all fashion to think you | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
have to be a different country, thinking that way. | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
They're strengthening the borders at Peelham Farm. | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
And if Scotland separates from the UK, Denise says | :13:36. | :13:37. | |
an independent government would better understand local business. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
The argument for independence is Compal in. The argument for the food | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
and farming industry is even more compelling. We know from our own | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
experience at Westminster does not do Scotland well in terms of farming | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
and food. Do you think the Welsh economy could be at a disadvantage | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
if Scotland is independent? I can't see it being a disadvantage but I | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
see it as raising some interesting questions about the Welsh economy | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
and how the devolved government in Wales goes on using its powers and | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
what kind of extra powers it might think about addressing. These are | :14:20. | :14:36. | |
small businesses, but would independence make Scotland more | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
attractive to big business? With the likes of Pinewood and Amazon be more | :14:38. | :14:38. | |
likely to choose a Scotland if, for instance, corporation tax was | :14:39. | :15:01. | |
lower? Or would the security of Wales being part of the UK actually | :15:02. | :15:02. | |
mean that Wales was the winner because Scotland was seen as too | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
risky? You're watching Wales Today, | :15:05. | :15:04. | |
stay with us - plenty still ahead: Why tourism bosses say there are | :15:05. | :15:04. | |
strong signs And new images of what Swansea could | :15:05. | :15:04. | |
have been centuries ago - the new project to help people | :15:05. | :15:04. | |
experience life in medieval times. It's just days since two leading | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
figures with expertise in intelligence and terror legislation | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
warned that not enough was being done in Wales to prevent Muslims | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
being radicalised here in Wales. Now, one of | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
the country's top anti-terror police officers has issued an appeal to the | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
public to help spot family members or friends who may be in danger | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
of joining terrorists in Syria. Caroline Evans is in our Cardiff | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
newsroom. Well, you will no doubt remember the | :15:27. | :15:41. | |
video of the two Cardiff men that was not to have been filled in | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Syria. Apparently showing them urging others to join ISIS. Footage | :15:45. | :15:57. | |
like this is thought by police to be one example of a sophisticated | :15:58. | :16:11. | |
strategy to radicalise young Muslims will stop last week, there were | :16:12. | :16:27. | |
concerns about the issue of radicalisation might not be tackled | :16:28. | :16:48. | |
effectively here in Wales. Today, police issued an appeal for help | :16:49. | :17:13. | |
from families and communities to help spot the signs that someone has | :17:14. | :17:31. | |
been, as they put it, seduced by this propaganda. The point the | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
changing behaviour, including things like talking about travelling | :17:33. | :17:33. | |
abroad, or possibly selling possessions. It is about dealing | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
with a small number of dangerous people. All communities are | :17:37. | :17:38. | |
horrified about what they have seen on the news and social media in | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
terms of what is going on in Syria and Iraq. Everyone wants to join | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
in, in confronting that. What we also see sometimes is extremists | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
trying to radicalise vulnerable people, and the earlier we spotted, | :17:46. | :17:46. | |
the more we can protect the vulnerable. It is in the interests | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
of everyone. What are the police doing to tackle propaganda is self? | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
They told us today that they have been putting effort into getting | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
they have pulled 40,000 cups of the internet. They have arrested 69 | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
people, they say that as a fivefold increase over last year. They say | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
only half the people who travelled to hand out of Syria who daydreamed | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
to be of concern were not thought to be a risk previously. That is why | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
they are now appealing directly to Muslim families and to communities, | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
to help spot these things. Thank you. | :18:07. | :18:06. | |
It may have got noticeably chillier over the last few days, | :18:07. | :18:07. | |
but early indications are this year has been warmly welcomed | :18:08. | :18:07. | |
It's been the second successive summer of largely dry weather, and | :18:08. | :18:07. | |
experts say there are now strong signs the industry is growing. | :18:08. | :18:07. | |
Look to North Wales, and what you see is innovation. | :18:08. | :18:08. | |
Helping to market the country as the go-to destination | :18:09. | :18:08. | |
A former slate mine turned into a giant underground trampoline. | :18:09. | :18:08. | |
A quarry boasting the longest zip wire in the northern hemisphere. | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
All that investment means confidence. | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
In Pembrokeshire, one of Wales' top tourism | :18:15. | :18:16. | |
Folly Farm invested ?500,000 in a new pride of lions. | :18:17. | :18:24. | |
Visitor numbers are up and all this interest has helped drive publicity. | :18:25. | :18:36. | |
He has such a beautiful Maine. We have had a lot of feedback on | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
Facebook. Photos of people with the Lions. | :18:48. | :18:47. | |
Visit Wales have not published official figures yet | :18:48. | :18:48. | |
for this summer, but the latest statistics from | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
the first half of the year bode well. | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
There were just over 1.5 million trips made to Wales between January | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
and March 2014, that's up 3.2% from the same period in 2013. | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
And that's impressive, because it seems we're bucking | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
the trend - across the whole of Great Britain, there was a downturn | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
The dry weather and hot spells mean coastal areas have done best | :19:09. | :19:17. | |
of all - coverage of the winter storms here in Aberystwyth have | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
The silver lining, a lot of people were affected by it, it has also | :19:21. | :19:34. | |
done a lot of people towards the towns, to see the before and after, | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
they want to see how the town done -- has done and how it has got back | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
together. It seems the Wales brand | :19:43. | :19:43. | |
is now clearly emerging. With or without good weather, | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
that's something A Swansea-based project is | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
aiming to bring the city's Researchers have produced images | :19:48. | :19:59. | |
showing what parts of the city may Pavement markers have also been put | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
in place to form And a new exhibition at | :20:04. | :20:07. | |

a 700 years ago. The church has been rebuilt several times since the 14th | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
century. Back then, imposing walls surrounded the town, and is dramatic | :20:41. | :20:52. | |
images are part of a project led by researchers at Southampton | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
University, which also includes this exhibition of medieval treasures at | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
Swansea Museum. One of the items on display is this stone carved head, | :21:09. | :21:21. | |
believed to represent a noblewoman. It is said her ghost continues to | :21:22. | :21:34. | |
haunt the castle. People know a lot about the copper industry and how | :21:35. | :21:46. | |
important it was and how important Swansea docks were, but perhaps they | :21:47. | :22:06. | |
do not know so much about the medieval era so it is important to | :22:07. | :22:16. | |
concede objects and maps from that time and experience a little what it | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
might have been like to live in Swansea during that time. Swansea | :22:19. | :22:19. | |
has grown and evolved immeasurably since the 1300 and today there is | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
little left to see of the city's medical past. I am standing just | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
above North Hill Road. Back then, it was gibbet Hill Road and this is | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
where the gallows were. This pub was the last remaining medieval building | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
in Swansea. In the 14th century there was a hospital here, now the | :22:29. | :22:29. | |
pub is part of a city centre trail leading passers-by back in time. The | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
trouble with cities is that they represent multiple layers of | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
interest and history which you have to peel away and most people do not | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
have the time to look for them. So we try to present ways for people to | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
stumble across history in the form of paving markers or blue plaques or | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
regeneration project and try to bring the history of the city back | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
to life. There are 17 pavement markers, each one carefully | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
positioned and each one a portal to Swansea's evil past. | :22:49. | :22:48. | |

The BBC Wales drama series Sherlock has won several of the global TV | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
At the Emmys in Los Angeles last night, there were prizes | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
for the show's stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
as well as for the series writer and co-creator, Steven Moffat. | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
Our arts and media correspondent Huw Thomas reports. | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
They're the most sought-after prize in television, | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
and notoriously difficult for British programmes to win. | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
But last night in LA, a show from Wales cleaned up at the Emmys. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
Sherlock won seven of this year's awards, including one | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
each for the show's stars, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
There was one, too, for Steven Moffat, | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
Since it began in 2010, Sherlock has enjoyed big audiences | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
And on the phone today, Martin Freeman told me how much | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
I am delighted, really pleased. You know you have a shot, so you always | :23:51. | :24:12. | |
think you have got a chance. I certainly wasn't banking on it. | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
As well as Emmys for the writing and the acting, | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
the crew have also won four awards in the technical categories. | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
They're part of the team who help create Sherlock's | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
The vast majority of the scenes, both indoors and out, | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
are filmed here in Wales, substituting corners of Cardiff | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
It's one of the programmes that's helped trigger a growth | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
in the creative industries here - important to the economy, jobs, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
The series has done so well this time, on the creative side with the | :24:34. | :24:48. | |
local teams. And with Martin and Benedict and Steven being quite an | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
extraordinary talent, Benedict and Steven being quite an | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
very proud. Even without the Emmys, | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Sherlock's future is guaranteed. No awards for the weather recently - | :24:59. | :24:58. | |
any improvement on the way, Owain? I don't know if improvement is the | :24:59. | :25:26. | |
right word. But some blue skies and hopefully some of us will see some, | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
late afternoon and early evening. It has been unsettled today thanks to | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
this area of low pressure. That is moving away and high-pressure taking | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
over. But more in the way of low pressure waiting in the wings. | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Mostly dry across Wales tonight, unsettled, light winds, not much in | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
the way of rain. Some brightness across western parts tonight. | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
Overnight, some mist and fog patches across eastern parts of the | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
country. But dry for most. Temperatures between eight and 13 in | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
towns and cities, a bit lower across rural parts. It got tomorrow | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
morning, 11 Celsius, quite mild rural parts. It got tomorrow | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
start, after mid-Wales and North East Wales, with mist and fog. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
Anglesey and Gwynedd probably seeing a fare. Decent weather, sunshine and | :26:18. | :26:19. | |
blue skies. Down a fare. Decent weather, sunshine and | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
quite a cloudy start. -- Pembrokeshire. Not a cold start. | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
Throughout the day we will see strengthening winds from the South | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
and south-east. Clothing overhead of this band of rain which creeps into | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
southern parts. North Wales remaining mostly dry. Temperatures | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
tomorrow between 17 and 20. Tomorrow night, patchy rain makes its way | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
North across the country. Some heavy downpours at times but generally | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
light, patchy rain. Lows of 13 to 16. That area of low pressure is | :26:56. | :27:03. | |
moving in on Thursday. It will creep down from north-east Wales and | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
north-west Wales will stop some rain associated with it. And unsettled | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
picture, but there will be some blue skies as well. | :27:12. | :27:19. | |
The main news again, a doctor from Swansea who has been treated victims | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
of Ebola in West Africa has told us it was one of the most dramatic | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
experiences of her life. Since her return, she has spent | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
three weeks in isolation as a precaution. | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
We'll have an update for you at 8pm and a full round-up | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
That's Wales Today, from all of us here, have a good evening. | :27:38. | :27:43. |
