:00:00. > :00:00.goodbye from me and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where

:00:00. > :00:07.Is Welsh Labour's call for more powers for Wales out

:00:08. > :00:13.First Minister Carwyn Jones sets out his vision for Britain to the

:00:14. > :00:28.The future we promised to Scotland must be delivered. An equal share of

:00:29. > :00:32.resources, a powerful parliament. They must be offered two wheels and

:00:33. > :00:34.Northern Ireland as well, home rule all around.

:00:35. > :00:37.If you're home's on the border and you live in Wales

:00:38. > :00:39.but use hospitals in England, why constitutional tinkering could

:00:40. > :00:44.Good news for low paid workers but what about employers?

:00:45. > :00:46.Driving through some of our most beautiful forests may

:00:47. > :00:56.soon be a thing of the past all because of larch disease.

:00:57. > :01:03.And the fine weather means it has been a bumpy year for fruit and veg

:01:04. > :01:07.but who is going to pick all of this? Farmers are warning that we

:01:08. > :01:17.need to make harvesting a more attractive career option.

:01:18. > :01:21.Rebuild the UK and give more powers to Wales, or face growing calls

:01:22. > :01:26.That was the message from the First Minister to the Labour Party

:01:27. > :01:30.Carwyn Jones told delegates that, four days after the Scottish

:01:31. > :01:33.referendum, a conversation needs to take place now

:01:34. > :01:48.David Cornock reports from Manchester.

:01:49. > :01:54.Better Together on the conference fringe. Ed Miliband was among

:01:55. > :01:57.friends at this reception but the week after that referendum, the

:01:58. > :02:02.cross-party consensus on what happens next is breaking down.

:02:03. > :02:06.Cameras were kicked out for his speech but he used it, behind closed

:02:07. > :02:10.doors, to rally the troops and accuse David Cameron of trying to

:02:11. > :02:14.set the nations against each other. England versus Wales, Wales versus

:02:15. > :02:21.Scotland, according to the Labour Leader. Labour's answer to questions

:02:22. > :02:23.about the UK's future is a constitutional convention put

:02:24. > :02:29.forward by the First Minister. It would meet in one year is Ed

:02:30. > :02:34.Miliband becomes Prime Minister. But what would it do? It would look like

:02:35. > :02:40.the Ford government sitting down and working out a plan as to how it

:02:41. > :02:42.would develop. You then set up a standing executive or committee to

:02:43. > :02:46.move it forward. You talk to the public and listen to them and come

:02:47. > :02:50.back with a suggestion for the Constitution and all for government

:02:51. > :02:53.agree. It cannot all be done by Westminster. It cannot all be done

:02:54. > :02:59.by separate discussions with all the nations. Critics say that if a

:03:00. > :03:03.device to avoid awkward questions about devolution and who pays for

:03:04. > :03:07.it. The Labour Leader defended a spending formula the First Minister

:03:08. > :03:15.says leaves his budget of ?300 million, or 2%, short each year. The

:03:16. > :03:19.party leaders have all said that the Barnett formula is oriented towards

:03:20. > :03:24.need and serve us well. It is based on population, not meant. Labour say

:03:25. > :03:27.that they could top up the formula for Wales despite spending cuts

:03:28. > :03:33.elsewhere but will not say who. There are awkward questions at

:03:34. > :03:37.Westminster. Why should Welsh MPs vote on spending issues in England

:03:38. > :03:47.when it does not approve the other way around. David Cameron thinks the

:03:48. > :03:51.answer could be to stop Welsh MPs voting on English issues. Labour

:03:52. > :03:56.have 41 of Scottish MPs. Labour have 26 of the 40 seats in Wales. One

:03:57. > :04:02.Welsh MP has just published a history of Parliament and sees broad

:04:03. > :04:07.change ahead. There is a big issue about how you make sure that English

:04:08. > :04:10.people have more of a say on what affects them, and I do not just mean

:04:11. > :04:12.Westminster affects them, and I do not just mean

:04:13. > :04:17.England or London telling the rest of England, I mean genuinely people

:04:18. > :04:23.across the North East, North West and Midlands. Scotland's referendum

:04:24. > :04:29.may have set the rest of the UK on a journey. The final destination,

:04:30. > :04:32.where ever you love, remains as much of a mystery as the estimated time

:04:33. > :04:42.of arrival. We will have more on that story

:04:43. > :04:44.later on. We will return to that story in a

:04:45. > :04:47.few moments. The family of a 19-year-old

:04:48. > :04:50.motorcyclist from Anglesey who was killed in a collision with

:04:51. > :04:52.a 4x4 car say they are Ben Calveley, from Llanerchymedd,

:04:53. > :04:56.died on Sunday in the crash on the B5109 between Bodffordd

:04:57. > :05:04.and Llynfaes. I am just waiting to find out what

:05:05. > :05:09.story to go on to next. South Wales Fire Authority has voted

:05:10. > :05:12.by secret ballot to close Stephen Griffin died with

:05:13. > :05:15.his colleague Kevin Lane in 1996 fighting a house fire with

:05:16. > :05:20.the crew from Blaina. Campaigners say closing

:05:21. > :05:23.the station will put lives at risk, Cwmbran station

:05:24. > :05:39.in Torfaen will also lose one of its In the 25 years that I have worked

:05:40. > :05:44.in their Fire and Rescue Services, this is the most difficult today I

:05:45. > :05:47.have had. We have responded to queries and questions from the

:05:48. > :05:52.public and other stakeholders. We have got through all trust and

:05:53. > :05:56.confidence in their modelling and statistics that we have used to come

:05:57. > :06:00.to the judgement that we have but we have also overlaid that with

:06:01. > :06:04.professional opinion. Not just by myself but the rest of the senior

:06:05. > :06:09.management team that have got over 100 years operation experience.

:06:10. > :06:12.There are concerns tonight that one of Wales' most scenic roads could be

:06:13. > :06:16.The 7-mile-long Cwmcarn Forest Road will be closed to cars in November,

:06:17. > :06:19.to allow tens of thousands of diseased larch trees to be felled.

:06:20. > :06:21.Locals are worried that heavy machinery and trucks will damage

:06:22. > :06:24.the road to such an extent that it won't ever be reopened.

:06:25. > :06:33.Our environment correspondent reports.

:06:34. > :06:41.Mountain biking is increasingly popular in the forest. New tracks

:06:42. > :06:45.are open but the forest's main tarmac road will be closed for at

:06:46. > :06:51.least 2 years in November. 150,000 trees will be cut down to try and

:06:52. > :06:56.stop the spread of a disease. It affect trees but is not harmful to

:06:57. > :06:59.people or animals. Filling will be difficult on these steep slopes and

:07:00. > :07:04.bloggers will have to use the Main Road that is normally open to

:07:05. > :07:09.visitors. The uncertainty is what seems to be driving local concern.

:07:10. > :07:13.Walkers and cyclists will still be able to come here when the filling

:07:14. > :07:19.starts but this seven Mile Rd will be closed for 2 years. There are

:07:20. > :07:25.seven concerns -- several concerns. Will the road reopened? What is the

:07:26. > :07:31.cost of repairing and strengthening the road afterwards? And will there

:07:32. > :07:38.be accessed for car as if the vote reopened? At a meeting yesterday,

:07:39. > :07:43.locals came to voice their fears. -- for cars if the road is reopened.

:07:44. > :07:49.People are taken up there by car to enjoy the views of the valley,

:07:50. > :07:52.people in their 80s and 90s, they cannot walk or cycle. We are

:07:53. > :07:56.concerned about it being reopened, and that is the thing we want. We

:07:57. > :08:01.want an answer to say that they will do all they can to reopen. The

:08:02. > :08:09.disease was 1st spotted in 2010. Millions of pounds have been spent

:08:10. > :08:14.to clear it from the Aven Valley. Being a public body we rely on

:08:15. > :08:17.public sector funding. Our ambition is to reopen the drive. We would

:08:18. > :08:22.love to. There is an opportunity that we might be able to open it and

:08:23. > :08:29.do something slightly different. 30,000 cars use the road each year.

:08:30. > :08:34.In 2013,, 250,000 visitors came to picnic, walk and cycle in the area.

:08:35. > :08:38.It will perhaps affect the work of the valley but we are keen to

:08:39. > :08:45.emphasise that the council is keeping everything open so that

:08:46. > :08:49.people can still, and enjoy walking, cycling, the visitors centre. In

:08:50. > :08:53.all, 400 acres of trees could be affected. The work is necessary to

:08:54. > :08:57.stop the disease spreading throughout the countryside but

:08:58. > :08:58.budgets are tight and no guarantees if this broad can be open to cars in

:08:59. > :09:04.future. -- this Road. Well, one proposal made by Labour at

:09:05. > :09:06.their conference is raising the national

:09:07. > :09:08.minimum wage to ?8 an hour in That would have more impact in Wales

:09:09. > :09:13.than other parts of the UK because, Our economics correspondent

:09:14. > :09:28.Sarah Dickins has been looking Thank you. Nortel 's and restaurants

:09:29. > :09:36.employ many people on the minimum wage. As 2 sectors like social care

:09:37. > :09:42.and retail. -- Portales. With average wages in Wales lower than

:09:43. > :09:46.many other parts of the UK, changes to wages particularly affect the

:09:47. > :09:54.Welsh economy. Minimum wage will dash-mac minimum wage will rise next

:09:55. > :09:59.year. In contrast, ?8 per hour is being proposed by Labour. During the

:10:00. > :10:03.next Parliament, that is if it wins the general election. That would

:10:04. > :10:10.increase wages for around 291,000 employees in Wales. That is one in

:10:11. > :10:14.four of the workforce. Those people with higher wages would have more

:10:15. > :10:18.money in their pockets and would hopefully spend more back within the

:10:19. > :10:23.Welsh economy. There would be more money circulating. But there is

:10:24. > :10:30.another side to this. It would also put up wage costs for employers.

:10:31. > :10:35.Around 95,000 people work in the hospitality industry in Wales and

:10:36. > :10:39.many of those will be on minimum wages, as will many in tourism.

:10:40. > :10:43.There is an argument that large increases in pay can cause problems

:10:44. > :10:52.for small businesses. I think they would look at hours,

:10:53. > :10:57.opening hours, the strategy with regards to business. Can they afford

:10:58. > :11:01.to take on any extra stuff? Can they afford to keep the staff they have?

:11:02. > :11:06.I think that is one thing that we need to ensure as an industry that

:11:07. > :11:11.we are taking into account. But we need to remember the proposal for ?8

:11:12. > :11:16.per hour minimum wage is during the lifetime of the Parliament, five

:11:17. > :11:21.years. It may seem like a big increase today for a quarter of the

:11:22. > :11:25.people working in Wales and costly for their employers, but since the

:11:26. > :11:31.national minimum wage owes up with inflation anyway, by 2020, it may

:11:32. > :11:39.not seem as expensive or as generous after all.

:11:40. > :11:40.Much more to come before seven o'clock.

:11:41. > :11:44.Is this the man to take over at Cardiff City?

:11:45. > :11:46.200 widows and hundreds of children left behind.

:11:47. > :11:56.The 80th anniversary of the Gresford colliery disaster.

:11:57. > :11:59.Senior Conservatives have spent the day at the Prime Minister's

:12:00. > :12:01.country residence, Chequers, discussing those plans to change

:12:02. > :12:05.David Cameron is adamant he wants to introduce plans that would see only

:12:06. > :12:14.English MPs voting on English issues.

:12:15. > :12:16.That's of particular concern to Welsh MPs who have constituencies

:12:17. > :12:21.Here's our political reporter James Williams.

:12:22. > :12:32.Welcome to border country. This village straddles the boundary

:12:33. > :12:34.between Wales and England. It's politics already complicated by

:12:35. > :12:38.devolution could become even more difficult. In the last days of the

:12:39. > :12:44.Scottish independence campaign, the 3 main party leaders vowed to get

:12:45. > :12:49.more powers to Edinburgh. Hours after the result, the Prime Minister

:12:50. > :12:54.said it should go hand-in-hand with plans to make sure that only English

:12:55. > :12:59.MPs vote on English issues. It would mean that MPs from the other nations

:13:00. > :13:03.could not vote on issues devolved to their respective nations, such as

:13:04. > :13:09.health and education. It could pose a particular problem for border MPs.

:13:10. > :13:11.It would not work. The whole of my constituency depends on the Health

:13:12. > :13:20.Service in Shropshire for their treatment. We do not a district

:13:21. > :13:23.general hospital. The idea of us not being involved in the organisation

:13:24. > :13:28.of services on the other side of the border is ridiculous and would not

:13:29. > :13:33.work. Moving across the border is a part of daily life here. Even the

:13:34. > :13:39.golf club's situated in both countries. Living on the Welsh

:13:40. > :13:45.border, we can go to the orthopaedic be because petrol in Shropshire,

:13:46. > :13:54.which people do from all over Wales. There is no reason why we couldn't

:13:55. > :14:00.use and any department in a Welsh hospital. I hope it stays everyone

:14:01. > :14:05.voting for the country, rather than the individual country, four other

:14:06. > :14:08.words united country rather than the individual countries. Discussions

:14:09. > :14:14.were also being held this afternoon at the Prime Minister's country

:14:15. > :14:18.residence. Over a steak pie lunch, Conservative backbench MPs said they

:14:19. > :14:21.wanted the prime ministers to go further on English devolution. 1 of

:14:22. > :14:26.the two Welsh Conservative MPs at the summit said the issue of

:14:27. > :14:29.significantly stronger powers four-wheeled was also on the table.

:14:30. > :14:38.There is a lot of sympathy with any government that the work that has

:14:39. > :14:43.been done by Lord Strathclyde in the Scottish contest. It goes much

:14:44. > :14:49.further than anything the Labour Party has proposed. There was a

:14:50. > :14:53.willingness to look at the possibilities of this being

:14:54. > :14:59.implemented in a Welsh context. That could mean Phil income tax powers

:15:00. > :15:02.for Cardiff Bay, as well as some control over VAT and welfare issues,

:15:03. > :15:08.such as housing benefit. As the dust begins to settle, it is clear there

:15:09. > :15:16.is still many issues to navigate on the political shape of the country.

:15:17. > :15:21.Has significant are the MPs comments? Pretty significant. The

:15:22. > :15:24.Strathclyde commission was set up by the Scottish Conservatives to look

:15:25. > :15:32.at what they would devolved Scotland in the event of a no-mac Ford, and

:15:33. > :15:35.they offered on the devolution of Phil income tax powers, some VAT

:15:36. > :15:40.powers and some welfare powers on issues such as housing benefit. If

:15:41. > :15:46.we considered that that cause a lot further than the Wales Bill going

:15:47. > :15:52.through at the moment, which would devolved some of the income tax

:15:53. > :15:56.powers, subject to referendum, and some powers on financial issues such

:15:57. > :16:00.as stamp duty, this is going a lot further. So if this is what the

:16:01. > :16:05.coalition is considering, it would be very significant increased

:16:06. > :16:09.financial powers for Wales. Talk through what happens next. The

:16:10. > :16:14.committee on devolution that the UK government has set up will meet on

:16:15. > :16:17.Wednesday for the 1st time. It will be chaired by the leader of the

:16:18. > :16:22.House of Commons, William Hague. And in discussions with the Welsh

:16:23. > :16:28.Secretary, they say that Wales will be at the forefront and the heart of

:16:29. > :16:31.this devolution committee and any proposals about devolution to the

:16:32. > :16:36.different parts of the United Kingdom. We also understand from

:16:37. > :16:39.Stephen Crabb that he has written a letter to the Welsh party leaders in

:16:40. > :16:46.the Commons to ask him to join him at a summit to be held when the

:16:47. > :16:52.little and returns dash-mac when the house of commons returns in a month

:16:53. > :16:56.to discuss what we sold it in any further devolution package.

:16:57. > :16:58.Many of us have been enjoying the unseasonable amount of sunshine

:16:59. > :17:03.Many have been able to get ahead with harvesting,

:17:04. > :17:06.and say the quality and quantity of crops this year has been good.

:17:07. > :17:09.But there are concerns that in future the industry could

:17:10. > :17:11.suffer, unless it can convince more people to get picking.

:17:12. > :17:18.And you need it when picking tomatoes on an industrial scale.

:17:19. > :17:20.Roughly a third of summer fruit and vegetable pickers used to come

:17:21. > :17:24.from outside the EU, as part of the Seasonal Agricultural

:17:25. > :17:29.But that's now come to an end and farmers are worried.

:17:30. > :17:36.Our horticultural members within the NFU are arguing that there ought

:17:37. > :17:39.to be a seasonal workers mark two, something along the lines of

:17:40. > :17:42.Australia, or something along the lines of what we used to have in the

:17:43. > :17:46.UK, to make certain that have those pool of people. The scheme closed

:17:47. > :17:49.after working restrictions on Eastern European countries were

:17:50. > :17:53.Once inside the EU, many workers are looking

:17:54. > :18:01.On this organic vegetable farm near Tenby,

:18:02. > :18:07.they're small enough to be able to do the work themselves for now.

:18:08. > :18:09.But it would help them grow if picking was better promoted.

:18:10. > :18:13.I think it does have a bad reputation but we need to

:18:14. > :18:20.realise that we don't want to be bringing in all this food.

:18:21. > :18:25.We need to be growing it locally but that is always going to involve

:18:26. > :18:30.The fine weather has meant this season's crop has been

:18:31. > :18:36.It's not just farmers who've had a good yield this year,

:18:37. > :18:41.if you're a forager there's been plenty to catch your eye, too.

:18:42. > :18:44.Just a few miles away at the National Trust's Colby

:18:45. > :18:48.Woodland Gardens, the harvest is all around, and they

:18:49. > :18:55.Hazelnuts are obvious and easy and blackberries, too, but there's a few

:18:56. > :19:08.Getting to recognise which ones are going to have a nut.

:19:09. > :19:11.But we do have also loads and loads of elderberries

:19:12. > :19:15.which are really easy to pick, really good for bulking up

:19:16. > :19:20.the blackberries, if you haven't got as many of those as you want.

:20:11. > :20:14.the odds on Russell Slade moving to South Wales after he revealed that

:20:15. > :20:17.Cardiff had been in touch. The 53-year-old,

:20:25. > :20:28.released the pressure valve, but there's now uncertainty about

:20:29. > :20:39.his job for a different reason. It is nice to be linked with such a

:20:40. > :20:42.huge club as Cardiff City. I was very proud that they have seen the

:20:51. > :20:52.What can you see on that? Has there been an approach? I believe they

:20:53. > :20:54.have but I am been an approach? I believe they

:21:41. > :21:41.there's a local derby in the Conference, too, as Wrexham travel

:24:04. > :24:06.generations of people in the area. Ruby McBurney was just three

:24:55. > :24:57.so that they could go to the big derby in those days and they drew a

:24:58. > :24:58.lot of crowds. Such was the scale of

:24:59. > :25:01.the tragedy that even those who were spared felt they'd lost everything,

:25:02. > :25:11.as miner Tom Taylor told his nephew My school friends, my football

:25:12. > :25:19.friends, my Army friends, all my friends have gone. I said, "one

:25:20. > :25:26.where?" "I don't know, uncle Tom." "They are still down that it." A bit

:25:27. > :25:30.stronger than that! I said, "you were very fortunate." ", I have been

:25:31. > :25:40.very lonely." Let's see what the weather has

:25:41. > :25:52.in store. Thank you. We had a fairly quiet

:25:53. > :25:55.weather today for the last day of summer. For the first day of Alton

:26:26. > :26:29.of rain. Behind that, we have got high pressure building in time for

:26:30. > :26:33.weekend. Through tomorrow morning it is a chilly start. The mist and fog

:26:34. > :26:42.will lift a pretty quickly and the crowds come in from the West. -- the

:26:43. > :26:45.clouds come. Gradually spreading. The further south and east you are

:26:46. > :26:51.you can look forward to something a bit drier and brighter with highs of

:26:52. > :26:56.18 Celsius. The wind remaining light and that rain band will clear with

:26:57. > :27:03.showers falling behind. It should be a mild night compared with tonight.

:27:04. > :27:08.Through Wednesday, it is a Charolais start but an improving picture. By

:27:09. > :27:12.the time we go into the afternoon, we can look forward to something

:27:33. > :27:35.and again after the BBC News at Ten.
