But now it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:11.

Around 400 people have marched through Llangefni on Anglesey

:00:12.:00:14.

Roads closed and shops were boarded up, ahead of a far-right rally and a

:00:15.:00:19.

The streets of Llangefni were unusually quiet today,

:00:20.:00:27.

Some were boarded up and roads closed,

:00:28.:00:32.

Saturday is a good day for me usually so I'm a bit peeved

:00:33.:00:44.

There's not a lot I can do about it, is there, really?

:00:45.:00:49.

People calling themselves the Infidels of North Wales had

:00:50.:00:52.

Around 60 people took part, many from the north west of England.

:00:53.:00:59.

They are opposed to immigration and what they describe as

:01:00.:01:01.

Around 350 people, including politicians, took part

:01:02.:01:07.

in a counter rally to oppose their message and celebrate diversity.

:01:08.:01:19.

To all of our Muslim brothers and sisters and people of colour in this

:01:20.:01:26.

country, you live here, you are an equal and valid member of our

:01:27.:01:32.

society and an attack on you is an attack on all of us. We are here to

:01:33.:01:37.

say in one strong voice we are against what the infidels of North

:01:38.:01:40.

Welles stunt for, everything they stand for. There have been given

:01:41.:01:43.

freedom to much and we're here to counter that to show the true face

:01:44.:01:49.

of Anglesey, the true face of Wales and international is, which is that

:01:50.:01:52.

we stand together against racism, Nazism and Fascism.

:01:53.:01:54.

Around 80 police officers were on the streets of Llangefni to

:01:55.:01:57.

The rallies passed off peacefully and there were no arrests.

:01:58.:02:03.

Business owners and residents hope the disruption won't be repeated.

:02:04.:02:06.

Steelworkers from across the UK have taken part in

:02:07.:02:09.

a minute's silence, to remember the two workers who died in an explosion

:02:10.:02:11.

Engineers Peter O'Brien from Cardiff and Mark Sim from Caldicot died

:02:12.:02:19.

Hundreds of steelworkers from Wales travelled to Sheffield

:02:20.:02:23.

for a march and rally for the Save Our Steel campaign organised

:02:24.:02:25.

We are here to raise awareness about the plight of the steel industry and

:02:26.:02:31.

The fear is, that if nothing is done to help support the industry,

:02:32.:02:36.

there will be no steel industry going forward.

:02:37.:02:41.

Emergency services say three men are lucky to be alive, after

:02:42.:02:44.

the four-by-four they were in, fell 200 feet down a gully in Powys.

:02:45.:02:51.

A difficult rescue in challenging conditions.

:02:52.:02:55.

Police, mountain rescue teams, fire crews, paramedics

:02:56.:02:58.

and a rescue helicopter all working together to reach the injured men.

:02:59.:03:05.

They had been among a three-vehicle party who were

:03:06.:03:08.

off-roading on land near New Radnor in the early hours of this morning,

:03:09.:03:14.

when the Land Rover they were in rolled off a path and into a ravine,

:03:15.:03:18.

People that were up there in the three four-by-fours, it was evident

:03:19.:03:23.

that they hadn't looked at the weather forecast, they weren't from

:03:24.:03:25.

the area, they hadn't recced out the area where they were going to go,

:03:26.:03:28.

they didn't know where they were going, and, unfortunately,

:03:29.:03:31.

when they did come down actually I noticed the type

:03:32.:03:33.

of clothing that they were wearing, they were not prepared at all.

:03:34.:03:36.

They were in tracksuits and trainers and no real, what I

:03:37.:03:39.

The alarm was raised just after 2.00am, but freezing

:03:40.:03:42.

temperatures and the remote location meant the rescue operation lasted

:03:43.:03:44.

The three men suffered spinal injuries in the incident.

:03:45.:03:53.

Two were airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales in

:03:54.:03:55.

Cardiff while the other was taken by ambulance to hospital in Hereford.

:03:56.:03:58.

When you're cocooned in a vehicle with heaters on and

:03:59.:04:03.

so on, you don't necessarily appreciate just what's outside, so

:04:04.:04:06.

It was obviously dark when the accident happened.

:04:07.:04:11.

And with more freezing temperatures expected across Wales tonight,

:04:12.:04:13.

the message from the authorities is clear.

:04:14.:04:15.

Don't go onto the mountains unless you're fully prepared.

:04:16.:04:22.

Football, and Swansea City have drawn 2-2

:04:23.:04:24.

Cardiff City lost 2-0 against Derby County.

:04:25.:04:30.

Wrexham beat Aldershot 1-0, while Newport County had a goaless

:04:31.:04:32.

Rugby, and the Scarlets are at home to Racing 92 in the Champion's Cup.

:04:33.:04:42.

A short time ago they were losing 12-0.

:04:43.:04:43.

While the Newport Gwent Dragons are losing

:04:44.:04:45.

A look at the weather forecast and it will stay dry overnight with

:04:46.:04:49.

Winds will ease, allowing temperatures to drop close

:04:50.:04:52.

Tomorrow will be another dry day with sunny spells expected.

:04:53.:04:56.

We'll be back tomorrow evening at 6.10pm.

:04:57.:04:59.

From me and the weekend team, goodnight.

:05:00.:05:02.
