:01:09. > :01:12.as physical gatherings go. The nations gathered in Newport and
:01:13. > :01:20.Cardiff for what is probably one of the most important alliance meetings
:01:21. > :01:23.in a quarter of a century. To the voters -- tonight the focus shifted
:01:24. > :01:29.to Cardiff Castle, where they will have dinner ahead of the second and
:01:30. > :01:31.final day of discussions. The small talk over dinner was strictly
:01:32. > :01:36.limited. The first people to greet the US
:01:37. > :01:39.president weren't the other leaders gathered at the Celtic Manor

:02:42. > :02:44.asking if we could have a VIP visit. How things happened
:02:45. > :02:47.from there we are not sure but we ended up six weeks ago with a couple
:02:48. > :02:50.of little pre-visits and then we were told that something significant
:02:51. > :02:56.is probably going to happen. In terms of keeping it a secret, a

:04:05. > :04:07.for the real business to begin. But it wasn't Afghanistan that was
:04:08. > :04:09.dominating the agenda, Events in Ukraine, Iraq,
:04:10. > :04:16.Syria and elsewhere meant a note We meet at a crucial time
:04:17. > :04:22.in the history of our alliance. The world faces many dangerous and
:04:23. > :04:25.evolving threats and it is clear that NATO is as you vital to our
:04:26. > :04:34.future as it has been in our past. Tomorrow it will be back to Newport
:04:35. > :04:37.and more talks to resolve problems Our political reporter

:04:56. > :05:00.chef Stephen Terry as we speak. It seems that things are coming to a
:05:01. > :05:04.close here. This is very much
:05:05. > :05:07.a working dinner so the discussions that have been ongoing throughout
:05:08. > :05:10.the day at the Celtic Manor resort at Newport are still being discussed
:05:11. > :05:12.here at Cardiff Castle. There are two main things
:05:13. > :05:15.on the agenda. Firstly, they will be discussing
:05:16. > :05:22.the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and secondly, the focus will be on the
:05:23. > :05:24.issue of rising extremist Islamic There will be some fine dining for

:05:32. > :05:33.arrests as global leaders made their way to
:05:34. > :05:48.the banquet in Cardiff Castle. We understand around 2,000 people
:05:49. > :05:51.thronged the streets of Cardiff, I understand the number of curious
:05:52. > :05:57.bystanders far outnumbered There was
:05:58. > :06:01.an earlier protest this morning when 250 protesters marched from
:06:02. > :06:04.the centre of Newport city centre to But, again, the numbers are
:06:05. > :06:11.far fewer than expected. Although there are undoubtedly
:06:12. > :06:14.pockets of ill feeling towards Nato, the people here
:06:15. > :06:16.in Wales are generally content that Wales can provide
:06:17. > :06:33.the backdrop to the discussions. Well, earlier this evening,
:06:34. > :06:35.the Prince of Wales hosted a reception for world leaders
:06:36. > :06:38.and guests from all walks of Welsh President Obama was
:06:39. > :06:47.among the guests. I can see the extraordinary beauty,
:06:48. > :06:49.the wonderful people, I would encourage everyone
:06:50. > :07:03.in the States to come to Wales. Some other news in brief
:07:04. > :07:06.and a coroner has called for improvements in the transfer
:07:07. > :07:08.of patients from ambulance to hospital, after a man from Wrexham
:07:09. > :07:11.died of a haemorrhage in his bowel. Clive Turner, who was 73,
:07:12. > :07:14.waited nearly six hours for an ambulance and two hours in a queue
:07:15. > :07:17.outside the Maelor Hospital, during The doctor then misdiagnosed
:07:18. > :07:23.his condition and sent him home. There's uncertainty over
:07:24. > :07:25.the future of Plas Madoc Leisure Centre following the resignation of
:07:26. > :07:28.ten Labour councillors in Wrexham. The authority was due to decide
:07:29. > :07:31.whether it should be handed over But the meeting has been postponed
