Welcome to Wales Today. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
Tonight... A battleground for Labour. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
The MP for Caerphilly turns on his own party leader | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Jeremy Corbyn following the vote to attack in Syria. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
And London has Boris Johnson - should Welsh cities have | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
an elected mayor? | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Good evening. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
A senior Welsh Labour MP who backed air strikes against so-called | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
Islamic State targets in Syria has launched an outspoken attack | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
on his leader, Jeremy Corbyn. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
And another has claimed that some MPs who voted for air strikes had | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
been abused on social media. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Here's our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
Tornado jets take off from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
The targets were said to be Islamic State-controlled oil fields | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
in eastern Syria. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Their first mission came hours after MPs voted to approve air | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
strikes following a debate that divided MPs from the same party. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
I voted against the air strikes. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
I've seen terrible atrocities in Paris. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
Something needs to be done but I wasn't convinced by the | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
Prime Minister's strategy. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
Order! | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Just a day after one of the most momentous debates | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
in years, one senior Welsh Labour MP launched a stinging attack | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
on his leader, Jeremy Corbyn. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
There's a great deal of concern about his stance on a whole range | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
of different issues, particularly defending this country. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
And I have offered to work closely with him and help him prepare | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
his speeches and for him to make more coherent arguments. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
Unfortunately, that hasn't been taken up | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
but the offer is still there. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
So to how did your MP vote? | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
15, fewer than half of Wales's 40 MPs voted for military | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
action, all 11 Welsh Conservatives voted with their government | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
and were joined by four Labour MPs. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
24 MPs, 20 Labour, the Plaid Cymru and one | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Liberal Democrat opposed bombing. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
One Welsh MP, Ann Clwyd, is unwell but says she would have | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
voted for air strikes. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
After the vote, one MP who defied the leadership | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
explained his decision. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
It's not a perfect solution. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
But there is a strong enough case for the limited air strikes that | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
have been proposed to go forward. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Remember, this isn't about a mass invasion or | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
a major bombing operation, it's about precision strikes. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Stephen Doughty and several other MPs have been sent messages such | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
as these on social media. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
One questioned how he reconciled his conscience with people being bombed | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
and another called him a murderer. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
In the Commons, a member of Mr Corbyn's Shadow | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Cabinet led calls for action. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
I gather today some members have received photos of severed heads. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
MPs have broad shoulders. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Of course we do but can I ask the leader to review the | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
arrangements regarding the security of members homes and offices. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
Some Labour MPs who voted against their party leader now fear | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
they could be targeted by his supporters and deselected as MPs. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
Jeremy Corbyn says there's no place for bullying in his party | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
but last night to vote but deep Labour divisions on display. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
The first Syrian refugees to arrive in Wales this month will settle | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
in Torfaen, Ceredigion, Neath Port Talbot and Caerphilly. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
About 50 people are due to arrive from refugee camps before Christmas, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
the first of about 1,000 coming to Wales over the next five years. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:40 | |
The operator of the Brecon Jazz Festival has announced | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
it's pulling out of the event. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
The Orchard and Media Events Group who've been running the festival | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
since 2012 say their decision is based on financial considerations. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
The Arts Council of Wales who appointed the firm say | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
it's now very difficult to see how a festival can happen next year. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
It's hoped the electrification of the Great Western main line to | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
Swansea can be completed by 2020 or 2021. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
That's according to the UK Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
His comments follow the publication of a report | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
by Network Rail last week which said the work between London | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
and Cardiff would be completed by 2019 but that it may take another | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
five years to reach Swansea. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Once we get to Cardiff, I want to carry on and we'll see the | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
electrification of Cardiff by 2019. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:30 | |
I don't want us to carry on to Swansea. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
It's very important. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:33 | |
It's right that we should do that. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
We'll have the equipment down here and I see that | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
as the whole line being done. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
A campaign for Cardiff to have an elected mayor | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
will be launched in the new year. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
To get a Yes-No referendum, around 24,000 people in Cardiff | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
would have to sign a petition. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Here's our political reporter Paul Martin. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
Comfortably the most high profile elected mayor in England, but Boris | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Johnson's is not the only one. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
There are now 17 but none in Wales. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
Ceredigion, the only Welsh council to have | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
a referendum on the idea, said a firm no to it back in 2004. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
For the yes, 5308, no, 14,013. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
Now there's a move to get a referendum for a in the capital. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
Darren Hill is organising a campaign to get 10% of Cardiff voters, | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
around 24,000 people, to sign a petition for a yes-no referendum. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:32 | |
I'm confident from the conversations I've had with people on a | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
cross-party basis and from no party at all that is actually going to be | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
a fair bit of momentum for this. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
It's a new fresh idea and I think it'll energise | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
the people of Cardiff. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
And people in Cardiff don't have to look too far for a neighbouring | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
city with an elected mayor. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:48 | |
Independent George Ferguson became Bristol mayor in 2012. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:55 | |
Some say the rise of mayors across England including here | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
in Bristol has given cities added status and profile and put pressure | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
on Cardiff to have one too. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
So three years since George Ferguson was elected here for City Hall, what | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
impact do people think he's had? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
It has made a big difference in just the years. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
He hasn't even had the full term. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:16 | |
I don't see any presence from the mayor. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
I don't know what the Mayor of Bristol does. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
He seems quite approachable, sort of one of the people. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
Back in Cardiff, there is scepticism. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
There's no proof in benefits. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
It's also completely the wrong time because we're talking | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
about local government reorganisation, when local | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
authorities are coming together and we're talking about a city region. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
Cardiff had an elected mayor throughout the 19th century. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
One of them, John Batchelor, is immortalised here | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
in the city centre. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
If enough people sign the petition, and the yes side then wins | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
the referendum a modern-day successor would probably be elected | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
in the summer of 2017. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
The UK Government's Broadcasting Minister Ed Vaizey has said S4C is | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
extremely generously funded. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
That's despite concern over cuts in the Welsh-language channel's | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
government grant. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
It's being reduced from ?6.7 million to ?5 million by 2020. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
But most of the channel's funding comes via the BBC licence fee. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
And in football, there's been some news that could | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
prove to be a boost for Wales. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
FIFA will discuss a proposal to expand the World Cup | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
from 32 teams to 40. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
The changes could see more teams qualify for the Tournament | 0:07:31 | 0:07:38 | |
from 2026. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:38 | |
Meanwhile, Chris Coleman's team has dropped two places to 17th | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
in the latest FIFA World Rankings. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
Now, Mid and West Wales Fire service say they're dealing with numerous | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
reports of flooding tonight. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Ceredigion is being hit particularly badly, with around 20 | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
homes evacuated on the coast road. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
Across the country, there are three flood warnings | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
and 30 flood alerts in place. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
With a full weather forecast now, here's Sue Charles. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
After all the recent rain, there's an ongoing risk of flooding with | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
river levels so high and the ground already saturated but a brief | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
respite from the rain tomorrow, turning drier, brighter and colder. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
Tonight, the rain clears, turning drier and clear overnight, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
Cillier to, behind the cold front. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
Temperatures between 5-7 C in towns and cities, even colder in the | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
countryside with a touch of frost. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
A fresher feel tomorrow, a crisp, cold start with sunny spells | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
and the same for the southern half of the UK. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
Bright and breezy, sunniest in the south and east | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
but turning cloudier from the west through the day, windier too with | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
rain arriving across Northern Ireland and the North of Scotland. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
And turning hazier later across Wales with thicker cloud, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:53 | |
south-westerly winds really picking up highs of 10-12C. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
It's those south-westerly winds trying to push in another | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
weather system from the Atlantic overnight Friday and Saturday. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
So Saturday may now stay dry in the south and east | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
but closer to that front along the north and west coast, strong to | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
gale force wind and further heavy rain so another Met Office wind | 0:09:11 | 0:09:18 | |
and rain warning here for Saturday. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
That front moves south eastwards Saturday night but it's waving back | 0:09:19 | 0:09:25 | |
and forth so the detail is sketchy, the timing and the position | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
of this could change but it could be drier for a time Sunday morning, | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
especially further north but with more rain pushing up | 0:09:31 | 0:09:35 | |
from the south later in the day. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
So some very mixed weather of the next few days, | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
much brighter tomorrow, wet and windy in the northwest | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
on Saturday, dry in the south-east. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
Maybe a bit drier at times on Sunday but more rain likely further south | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
later. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:49 | |
Remaining mild but often windy through the weekend. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
We'll back with updates in breakfast from around 6.25 in the morning. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
That's Wales Today. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
From all of us here, good night. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 |
