:00:00. > :00:23.blustery. Thank you very much. That is all from

:00:24. > :00:24.Welcome to Wales Today our top story.

:00:25. > :00:26.More spending on the NHS in the annual budget

:00:27. > :00:29.but local council services lose out so less cash for our councils.

:00:30. > :00:31.What that could mean for services like leisure centres

:00:32. > :00:33.Billions of viruses in Cardiff University -

:00:34. > :00:36.one of these test tubes could provide answers for HIV and cancer.

:00:37. > :00:53.funding fitness in communities with money made by criminals.

:00:54. > :00:59.And a loss of habitat has led to the disappearance of more than half of

:01:00. > :01:08.wild animals. We will be discovering how Wales is coping.

:01:09. > :01:14.The number crunching is over, negotiations have ended,

:01:15. > :01:17.the Welsh Government has announced its spending plans for next year.

:01:18. > :01:20.It has more than ?15 billion to spend on public services -

:01:21. > :01:23.?40 million less than they have this year.

:01:24. > :01:26.But, the draft budget includes an extra ?425 million

:01:27. > :01:36.the Welsh Government had to do a deal with the Liberal Democrats.

:01:37. > :01:41.But the extra spending on health means cuts in local government

:01:42. > :01:46.Here's our political correspondent, Daniel Davies.

:01:47. > :01:57.So another part of the public sector will feel the pain

:01:58. > :02:03.of her funding injection for the health service.

:02:04. > :02:12.Health is a priority for the people of Wales, for our well-being, for

:02:13. > :02:14.our economy and that is what we are looking at.

:02:15. > :02:17.Here's how the picture fits together.

:02:18. > :02:20.There'll be an extra ?425 million for the health service

:02:21. > :02:22.over two years - ?225 million of it next year.

:02:23. > :02:25.There'll be more for the economy, science

:02:26. > :02:28.and transport next year too - ?14 million.

:02:29. > :02:30.But every other department gets a cut.

:02:31. > :02:33.Education is down more than ?28 million.

:02:34. > :02:39.Funding for local councils will fall by more than ?192 million.

:02:40. > :02:43.Another serving of austerity for local councils,

:02:44. > :02:45.like Ceredigion council, which shut the building

:02:46. > :02:48.that hosted this lunch club in Aberaeron in March.

:02:49. > :02:51.And that's at a time when ministers say they want to protect

:02:52. > :03:02.It was not just about a hot meal, it was about getting up on time,

:03:03. > :03:06.getting dressed, was about getting up on time,

:03:07. > :03:10.house, meeting other people, socialising. It was a relief to

:03:11. > :03:12.loneliness. The Welsh government isn't just

:03:13. > :03:15.short of cash. It's short of seats in the

:03:16. > :03:18.Assembly too - it has no majority. Fundamental differences

:03:19. > :03:20.with the Conservatives and a row with Plaid Cymru mean

:03:21. > :03:23.Labour has just one option Their price - a ?200 million deal

:03:24. > :03:30.over two years, with more funding school children

:03:31. > :03:42.from deprived families. It has always been the Welsh Liberal

:03:43. > :03:47.Democrat priority to make sure that we begin to close the educational

:03:48. > :03:52.funding gap that exists between England and Wales, starting with our

:03:53. > :03:55.poorest pupils first. We have secured an increase in the amount of

:03:56. > :03:59.money that goes to schools to educate our most venerable children.

:04:00. > :04:02.The deal includes completing a long-awaited link road

:04:03. > :04:04.to Cardiff Bay and a pledge not to start building

:04:05. > :04:07.the new M4 relief road near Newport before the next assembly election.

:04:08. > :04:10.It was the government's support for that motorway which drove

:04:11. > :04:22.There will be an attempt to protect health spending, which is a good

:04:23. > :04:26.thing, but unfortunately if you take money away from social services and

:04:27. > :04:32.from other supporting budgets, the elderly will suffer and there will

:04:33. > :04:33.be a merry-go-round and increased pressure will come on the health

:04:34. > :04:36.service again. Few AMs would begrudge a shot

:04:37. > :04:46.in the arm for the NHS. The reason the UK to wish in

:04:47. > :04:50.government is having to make cuts is because of the previous UK Labour

:04:51. > :04:55.government spending too much money. The debt has got to be paid off,

:04:56. > :05:00.even the Labour Party know that. But with the amount of money the

:05:01. > :05:01.assembly is getting, ?15 billion, the health service could be more of

:05:02. > :05:03.a priority. when they hear Tory complaints

:05:04. > :05:13.about cuts. He seems to ignore the fact we were

:05:14. > :05:17.called upon to make cuts as well by the UK Government. I know he thinks

:05:18. > :05:20.there is a magic money tree somewhere but there is not and that

:05:21. > :05:22.means difficult decisions have to be taken.

:05:23. > :05:24.If you were Carwyn Jones' Finance Minister,

:05:25. > :05:36.You have got to spend more on hospital nurses. In Llanelli, one of

:05:37. > :05:43.the Accident and Emergency Department is going so the nearest

:05:44. > :05:47.one is 20 miles away. Definitely the economy because without that you

:05:48. > :05:51.don't have any of this. Where would you make the cuts? Things like

:05:52. > :05:55.executive salaries. Those things. Crafting a budget

:05:56. > :05:57.with fewer resources. Jane Hutt has got a deal on her

:05:58. > :06:00.spending plans, but when there are cuts to make, her handy-work

:06:01. > :06:04.won't be to everyone's taste. So, Daniel, the budget is a big

:06:05. > :06:19.political test for the government. Yes, Carwyn Jones is very keen to

:06:20. > :06:22.stress that this is a two-year budget that gives the government

:06:23. > :06:28.much more stability between now and the run-up to the next election in

:06:29. > :06:31.2016. Stability for the government perhaps but not for local councils

:06:32. > :06:36.who are saying that if things carry on like this, services will

:06:37. > :06:41.disappear. Let's discuss that with the finance minister who joins me

:06:42. > :06:47.this evening. Weak at the week, we hear from David Cameron criticising

:06:48. > :06:51.your government's record on the NHS. Is that pressure the reason you are

:06:52. > :06:56.now spending more on health? The people of Wales are going to be very

:06:57. > :07:01.pleased to hear we are putting an extra ?425 million into our health

:07:02. > :07:06.service. But we are doing that because we have had advice from the

:07:07. > :07:13.independent foundation who said to us, if we can put this investment

:07:14. > :07:16.in, we can put the health service of affordable and sustainable in Wales.

:07:17. > :07:20.It does mean investment with a strong message to our health boards

:07:21. > :07:24.that they have got to perform and make sure that we deliver the best

:07:25. > :07:31.in terms of support for our health service. It is not just David

:07:32. > :07:33.Cameron who is criticising you, we have heard from the British Medical

:07:34. > :07:36.Association that the have heard from the British Medical

:07:37. > :07:43.meltdown in Wales. Is the reason a lack of funding? The hospital I

:07:44. > :07:49.visited today with the Health Minister, Royal Glamorgan Hospital,

:07:50. > :07:53.is at the forefront of diagnostic abilities, a new CT scan,

:07:54. > :07:58.radiologists telling me they are the forefront of the UK in terms of the

:07:59. > :08:03.equipment they have got and also making very important decisions to

:08:04. > :08:07.help keep people safe and well at home and reduce admissions. Of

:08:08. > :08:12.course we have got to work on how we can improve our health service but

:08:13. > :08:17.today is about investing in our health service. I will also say

:08:18. > :08:23.interesting in social services. We are also investing in those services

:08:24. > :08:27.which will help local government. But those social services are run by

:08:28. > :08:33.local councils and you are reading their budgets to prop up the health

:08:34. > :08:37.service. Can councils really cope? We have protected local government

:08:38. > :08:44.over the past four years. That has changed now. If you look at the way

:08:45. > :08:51.they have been cut in England, 9.5%, of those local services that mean

:08:52. > :08:54.some edge to people, so we have worked with local government

:08:55. > :08:59.particularly in terms of health and social care will stop we are also

:09:00. > :09:04.putting money into education. We are going to put another ?44 million

:09:05. > :09:08.into the pupil deprivation grant. This is going to reach those

:09:09. > :09:12.children who are most disadvantaged, eligible for free

:09:13. > :09:16.school meals. Teachers, head teachers and parents will be

:09:17. > :09:18.delighted that because we got a budget agreement, we are going to

:09:19. > :09:25.move forward and protect that funding. It is support for local

:09:26. > :09:29.services. The deal has been done, the final vote on the budget will be

:09:30. > :09:31.in December with plenty of scrutiny between now and then.

:09:32. > :09:37.Dan, thank you, and later we'll be taking a closer look at the impact

:09:38. > :09:40.today's budget announcement will have on the services

:09:41. > :10:02.A health board has tonight apologised to the family

:10:03. > :10:04.of a disabled man who died following a gall bladder operation.

:10:05. > :10:07.Timothy Cowen was treated at Wrexham Maelor Hospital last year.

:10:08. > :10:09.A senior executive at Besti Cadwaladr told an inquest his case

:10:10. > :10:11.was a "watershed" in the way it deals with

:10:12. > :10:24.Tim Cowans had severe learning difficulties since birth but the

:10:25. > :10:29.inquest heard he loved life as far as he could. He enjoyed football,

:10:30. > :10:34.the cinema, theatre. The last week of his life exposed a series of

:10:35. > :10:39.failings in his hospital care. He went to Wrexham Maelor Hospital for

:10:40. > :10:44.a gall bladder operation on April 23, 2013. He was discharged on the

:10:45. > :10:48.25th but here is noticed his health was deteriorating and he was taken

:10:49. > :10:55.to Accident and Emergency a few days later. He died on May two. He could

:10:56. > :10:59.not walk, talk or swallow. But the inquest was told there were

:11:00. > :11:04.questions whether the hospital, whether his reading was carried out

:11:05. > :11:08.safely. His condition was not properly assessed before he was

:11:09. > :11:12.discharged. Giving evidence, Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board chief of

:11:13. > :11:21.staff said the organisation had had some dark times. Timothy's case is a

:11:22. > :11:25.watershed page, she said. After the hearing, his family said despite

:11:26. > :11:30.having to fight for an enquiry into his death, they are now satisfied

:11:31. > :11:40.that changes are being made. But such a change is due to the death of

:11:41. > :11:45.my brother is humbling. In death, Timothy has achieved more than most

:11:46. > :11:51.would consider possible in any lifetime. It is a true and lasting

:11:52. > :11:55.legacy. For the family, this was always about making sure this would

:11:56. > :12:00.not happen again and the training the coroner has asked the health

:12:01. > :12:06.board to put in place will help. They have turned a corner but not

:12:07. > :12:09.completely yet. This evening, in a statement, the Betsi Cadwaladr

:12:10. > :12:13.Health Board apologised for what it said were a range of clinical

:12:14. > :12:16.errors. An investigation had recommended training for staff in

:12:17. > :12:18.the care of people with disabilities. The coroner said that

:12:19. > :12:21.training should be made compulsory. Carmarthenshire Council's

:12:22. > :12:24.chief executive Mark James part of the council's voluntary

:12:25. > :12:29.redundancy scheme. Mr James was cleared of criminal

:12:30. > :12:32.offences earlier this year following findings

:12:33. > :12:34.by the Wales Audit Office that the authority had made

:12:35. > :12:37.unlawful payments to him. The council says it's

:12:38. > :12:42.considering his application. Police officers who found

:12:43. > :12:45.a 93-year-old woman collapsed in her home following a burglary

:12:46. > :12:49.have arrested a teenage boy. They were called to her home

:12:50. > :12:52.in the Killay area of Swansea She was taken to Morriston Hospital

:12:53. > :12:57.where she remains Wylfa nuclear power station

:12:58. > :13:03.on Anglesey has been given a licence to continue operating

:13:04. > :13:06.until the end of next year. The reactor, which opened

:13:07. > :13:09.in 1971 and is Britain's oldest, was due to close today,

:13:10. > :13:13.when its current licence expired. But a last minute extension

:13:14. > :13:15.has been confirmed. An ?8 billion replacement

:13:16. > :13:19.for Wylfa has been provisionally Could our body's immune system

:13:20. > :13:26.be adapted to fight off some of the world's deadliest

:13:27. > :13:29.diseases? That's what scientists at Cardiff

:13:30. > :13:32.University have been working on for 10 years, and they now

:13:33. > :13:36.believe they have the answer. By cloning billions of viruses,

:13:37. > :13:40.they've discovered how our body reacts to the world's most complex

:13:41. > :13:43.infection and that could hold the key to

:13:44. > :13:47.treating HIV and even cancer. It's the size of a fridge freezer

:13:48. > :13:53.you'd find in your kitchen. This is Cardiff University's

:13:54. > :13:59.centre for infection and immunity. There are 19,000 tubes

:14:00. > :14:02.in this freezer and each one contains 10 million

:14:03. > :14:06.viruses. They hold the key to understanding

:14:07. > :14:28.how killer diseases live This tube contains a disease which

:14:29. > :14:29.could affect newborn babies or people with a weakened immune

:14:30. > :14:31.system. This is what CMV looks like

:14:32. > :14:34.up close - the green slivers are human cells

:14:35. > :14:36.that have been infected. It's a complex virus that's learned

:14:37. > :14:39.how to hide from our immune system. But scientists here have now worked

:14:40. > :14:42.out exactly how it does that. The trick up their sleeve was to

:14:43. > :14:45.clone the virus in the laboratory but allow it to attack

:14:46. > :14:47.the immune system as if it were still

:14:48. > :14:49.in the human body. They've effectively developed the

:14:50. > :14:51.definitive version of CMV, paving the way for new ways

:14:52. > :15:01.to treat it. Because of the work we have been

:15:02. > :15:08.doing in Cardiff, pharmaceutical companies worldwide have been using

:15:09. > :15:09.our viruses to detect infection in patients worldwide and potentially

:15:10. > :15:11.save lives. By understanding how CMV and our

:15:12. > :15:14.immune system interact with each other, scientists around the world

:15:15. > :15:16.are now developing new treatments for a host of other diseases, based

:15:17. > :15:20.on Cardiff University's research. There has been an exciting

:15:21. > :15:28.development, particularly in There has been an exciting

:15:29. > :15:31.United States, where they have used part of a vaccine aiming to protect

:15:32. > :15:37.United States, where they have used against HIV, so understanding what

:15:38. > :15:41.happens when the virus gets into cells and understanding how we can

:15:42. > :15:45.induce the best possible immune response against CMV, will really

:15:46. > :15:53.help the development of a vaccine against HIV. There is another

:15:54. > :15:54.interest in harnessing this virus in vaccines against other diseases, for

:15:55. > :15:57.example cancer. Our body's immune system can be

:15:58. > :16:00.the most powerful weapon Understanding how that immune

:16:01. > :16:07.response is supressed when it Research like this could influence

:16:08. > :16:09.how those treatments look Much more to come before

:16:10. > :16:13.seven o'clock. new research suggests the number

:16:14. > :16:18.of wild animals on Earth has halved in 40 years.

:16:19. > :16:22.How is the natural world doing And the last day of September,

:16:23. > :16:26.a remarkable month, one of the driest on record,

:16:27. > :16:36.but there's a big change on the way. Back to our main story and the

:16:37. > :16:39.Welsh Government's draft budget. Earlier we heard how money for

:16:40. > :16:43.councils will be reduced by just over ?192 millions - that's

:16:44. > :16:48.around 4% of their budgets. It represents another big challenge

:16:49. > :16:51.for local authorities already dealing with cuts

:16:52. > :16:55.from previous years. Our economics correspondent

:16:56. > :17:06.Sarah Dickins reports. As the Welsh government prepared to

:17:07. > :17:09.deliver its spending plans for next year, in Denbighshire they were

:17:10. > :17:15.still discussing this year's budget. When councils list the services

:17:16. > :17:19.they want to change, it's often followed by scenes

:17:20. > :17:22.like this. Its in leisure services that

:17:23. > :17:24.the most difficult Cardiff Council wanted to close

:17:25. > :17:29.this leisure centre in Splott and they're building a hub with

:17:30. > :17:41.leisure facilities down the road. In Blaenau Gwent, they're building

:17:42. > :17:44.skills for the future. 16-year-olds taking time out

:17:45. > :17:47.of school for what they hope will benefit them

:17:48. > :17:59.in the long term. I feel me when I am here. Hopefully

:18:00. > :18:04.get an apprenticeship in the future. I have been coming here for about a

:18:05. > :18:06.year and I do like carpentry and we do bricklaying, carpentry, painting

:18:07. > :18:09.and decorating, plastering. Today, more cuts and more pressure

:18:10. > :18:12.for councils. In the past year alone,

:18:13. > :18:14.3,000 jobs have gone in local government

:18:15. > :18:23.as they try to balance their books. It means all the cuts tend to fall

:18:24. > :18:31.on a range of services so it is no surprises that leisure centres get

:18:32. > :18:35.it, libraries are getting it, public toilets, gay centres. All the things

:18:36. > :18:37.that the public really value but the things you can't protect.

:18:38. > :18:42.Blaenau Gwent Council pays towards this training centre at the moment.

:18:43. > :18:45.It's kept it open because its in one of Wales' most challenging

:18:46. > :18:54.Long-term, in courage and people into training and employment,

:18:55. > :18:57.Long-term, in courage and people are savings across the whole public

:18:58. > :19:02.sector portfolio with regard to health, looking at employment

:19:03. > :19:06.opportunities, saving on benefits, everything going on with welfare

:19:07. > :19:11.reform, encouraging people into the workplace.

:19:12. > :19:15.Individual councils will hear next week what sums they will get

:19:16. > :19:17.from the Welsh Government from April and then decide

:19:18. > :19:20.whether to increase council tax or for instance sell assets.

:19:21. > :19:23.At the same time councils are being encouraged to merge

:19:24. > :19:25.with neighbours and see if they can work more efficiently

:19:26. > :19:33.The discount supermarket chain Aldi is to build a warehouse

:19:34. > :19:36.on the outskirts of Cardiff, which it says will create 400 jobs.

:19:37. > :19:39.On Monday, it announced a big rise in profits.

:19:40. > :19:42.The supermarket has been given planning permission

:19:43. > :19:45.for a distribution centre on the Capital Business Park in Wentloog.

:19:46. > :19:49.Websites with Welsh domain names go live for the first time

:19:50. > :19:54.The new .cymru and .wales addresses are being switched-on

:19:55. > :19:59.The National Assembly, the Welsh Rugby Union and political parties

:20:00. > :20:05.Money seized from criminals in the Gwent Police Force area

:20:06. > :20:08.is being used to support good work in the community.

:20:09. > :20:11.A mixed martial arts club is just one of those given a grant

:20:12. > :20:13.by the Police and Crime Commissioner,

:20:14. > :20:16.for their work in reducing anti-social behaviour.

:20:17. > :20:20.In total, more than ?150,000 has been made available.

:20:21. > :20:30.Jenny Rees has been finding out how it'll be spent.

:20:31. > :20:39.Focus, determination and a lot of hard work. It is a tough learning

:20:40. > :20:42.environment at this academy. But they are invaluable lessons for

:20:43. > :20:48.young men who may otherwise have strayed down a very different path.

:20:49. > :20:54.We do a lot of work with the youth offending team and we have a massive

:20:55. > :21:00.success rate. 95% turnover of kids who do something with their lives.

:21:01. > :21:03.The academy has been given ?5,000 by the police and crime commission in

:21:04. > :21:09.Gwent, raised from the proceeds of crime. These lads will have

:21:10. > :21:15.confidence. Before, a little bit insecure and felt the need to prove

:21:16. > :21:19.themselves. I left school at about 14, got arrested a number of times.

:21:20. > :21:24.Richard sorted me out and calmed me out and company write-down. I joined

:21:25. > :21:30.the Army, I have done two tours of Afghanistan, I have won a lot of

:21:31. > :21:35.titles, Welsh boxing titles, it has changed me from that troublemaker.

:21:36. > :21:40.This is just one of a number of projects which has been given a

:21:41. > :21:46.share of more than ?150,000, supporting groups having a positive

:21:47. > :21:50.impact. There were projects out there that needed a little bit of

:21:51. > :21:54.funding to help them to do a really good and important thing in their

:21:55. > :21:57.communities. This year, we have developed that and I decided we

:21:58. > :22:03.would take the money from money we get from criminals. Those people who

:22:04. > :22:07.have been locked up and made money out of drugs or criminality, we have

:22:08. > :22:11.taken the money of them and put it back into the community. Among those

:22:12. > :22:16.deciding where the money was spent were members of the Blaenau Gwent

:22:17. > :22:22.youth Forum. It has nearly brought me to tears and you have to decide

:22:23. > :22:27.with your heart or your head. It is life changing to a lot of people and

:22:28. > :22:32.you can see it changing people's lives, not just instantly but

:22:33. > :22:36.further down the line as well. For the Academy, the grant means that

:22:37. > :22:41.Jim gets a complete refit. For its members, it means some urge more. A

:22:42. > :22:44.healthy lifestyle and, for some, their first sense of achievement.

:22:45. > :22:47.The World Wildlife Fund says the number of wild animals on Earth

:22:48. > :22:51.The Living Planet Index found the biggest threat to habitats

:22:52. > :22:55.And while the biggest losses are in the developing world,

:22:56. > :22:58.we're seeing the same patterns here in Wales.

:22:59. > :23:05.Magical sights like this are what the Welsh coastline is famous for.

:23:06. > :23:09.Just last weekend a superpod of up to one thousand dolphins

:23:10. > :23:16.But Worldwide Marine and other animal wildlife is in steep decline.

:23:17. > :23:20.The World Wildlife Fund has come up with what they call

:23:21. > :23:26.Using 1970 as a baseline, they've sampled

:23:27. > :23:31.day populations of animal, fish and bird species across the world.

:23:32. > :23:37.species like the water vole are disappearing.

:23:38. > :23:42.In rivers and freshwater ecosystems across the world animal populations

:23:43. > :23:51.Human behaviour and consumption are driving this rapid decline,

:23:52. > :23:57.It may be more dramatic in the developing world but we see

:23:58. > :24:00.the conflict between man and nature here too.

:24:01. > :24:03.This area of Cross Hands is marked for development

:24:04. > :24:07.and it sits right beside a nature reserve.

:24:08. > :24:10.The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales work hard to keep

:24:11. > :24:19.this grassland an open habitat for the species that depend on it.

:24:20. > :24:32.This is a food plant for a butterfly. This one food source

:24:33. > :24:36.alone preserves the flood relief. In Wales, because it is associated with

:24:37. > :24:39.grassland, we are still a stronghold for it. We feel a responsibility to

:24:40. > :24:41.protect it. Intervention can turn things

:24:42. > :24:44.around. Once persecuted and on the brink

:24:45. > :24:46.of extinction, feeding centres

:24:47. > :24:48.like this one near Aberystwyth have helped bring back the red kite

:24:49. > :24:58.across the British Isles. To start with, you would be lucky to

:24:59. > :25:00.see half a dozen kites here but these days we are getting on average

:25:01. > :25:04.probably about 150 kites every day. Otters too are making a comeback,

:25:05. > :25:07.but as each generation expects to see less and less in the wild, the

:25:08. > :25:12.challenge of conservation increases. In Football, Cardiff City still

:25:13. > :25:14.without a permanent manager face Brighton

:25:15. > :25:19.in the championship tonight. The end of September and we can

:25:20. > :25:35.expect a change in the weather. The second driest September on

:25:36. > :25:38.record according to The Met office. This is an average figure for the

:25:39. > :25:45.whole country. Some places have had more rain than others. Only a few

:25:46. > :25:50.millimetres in Flintshire. It is also the third joint warmest

:25:51. > :25:56.September since 1910 and Wales has been the sunniest nation of the UK

:25:57. > :26:01.this month. This picture taken in Llandudno. The reason for the warm

:26:02. > :26:05.weather is high pressure. However, next week the jet stream is going to

:26:06. > :26:10.slip further south, low pressure will bring rain and it will turn

:26:11. > :26:17.cooler and windy. A big change on the way. This evening, some rain

:26:18. > :26:21.around, moving eastwards. Once again, another mild night. Here is

:26:22. > :26:28.the picture for eight in the morning. Most of the country dry at

:26:29. > :26:34.this stage. Not dry everywhere though. In North Wales, we could see

:26:35. > :26:38.a few spots of light rain and drizzle. During the day, a cold

:26:39. > :26:44.front will move eastwards bringing thicker cloud, a little patchy rain

:26:45. > :26:48.and a few showers. However, it should brighten up in the north and

:26:49. > :26:56.west later in the afternoon. Temperatures not as high as today.

:26:57. > :27:03.Tomorrow night, fine and dry. A cooler night than of late. Five

:27:04. > :27:08.Celsius or lower in Snowdonia. Thursday, most places dry with a

:27:09. > :27:13.mixture of sunshine and cloud. Friday, a breezy, windy day, spots

:27:14. > :27:18.of drizzle. Rain will reach the north west later in the afternoon.

:27:19. > :27:20.This spreading south-east to give a wet end to the day. Turning fresher

:27:21. > :27:32.over the weekend. Health spending will go up by ?425

:27:33. > :27:36.million over the next two years after the Welsh government announced

:27:37. > :27:38.its draft budget but there are cuts in areas like education and local

:27:39. > :27:39.government. I'll have an update for you here

:27:40. > :27:42.at eight o'clock and again That's Wales Today.

:27:43. > :27:45.Thank you for watching. From all of us on the programme,

:27:46. > :27:48.good evening.
