:00:00. > :00:00.Our top story: First Minister Carwyn Jones' head-to-head with Ukip

:00:07. > :00:08.leader Nigel Farage, debating the UK's future

:00:09. > :00:17.It's one of the biggest decisions that our generation

:00:18. > :00:29.Organisers are hoping it sets the tone and terms of the debate in

:00:30. > :00:42.Wales. The plummeting price of scrap metal

:00:43. > :00:45.and why it's bad news The inquest hears poor ambulance

:00:46. > :00:51.response times inevitably The school set on fire

:00:52. > :00:58.on New Year's Day. We've spent the day with pupils,

:00:59. > :01:03.parents and teachers as they return. In tonight's sport: The manager says

:01:04. > :01:06.they were embarassing Now Swansea focus on staying

:01:07. > :01:10.in the Premier League after crashing Should the UK leave or remain

:01:11. > :01:23.in the European Union? That's the heart of the debate

:01:24. > :01:25.tonight between the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, and Ukip leader,

:01:26. > :01:29.Nigel Farage. Mr Farage has already raised

:01:30. > :01:32.the stakes, claiming Britain's membership of the EU has helped put

:01:33. > :01:35.the future of Port Talbot Carwyn Jones responded by accusing

:01:36. > :01:41.Ukip of an anti-Welsh attitude. Our political editor,

:01:42. > :01:43.Nick Servini, is in Cardiff Bay, where things are about

:01:44. > :01:59.to get underway. As you can see, the hall is filling

:02:00. > :02:04.up behind me. The two sides had been upping the ante over the course of

:02:05. > :02:08.the day and it will be interesting to see how emotive this head-to-head

:02:09. > :02:15.debate becomes when these two men take to the lectern. It is not being

:02:16. > :02:20.televised live but it is being streamed online. It's fair to say

:02:21. > :02:23.that what is said here tonight could form the backdrop of the EU

:02:24. > :02:31.referendum campaign when it finally gets underway in Wales. Nigel Farage

:02:32. > :02:35.faces the cameras in Cardiff Bay. He is hoping his party will have a

:02:36. > :02:40.presence here this year after the Assembly elections and he is also

:02:41. > :02:44.hoping he does so as the UK gets ready to leave the European Union.

:02:45. > :02:49.The fact we are not free in the global economy to make our own deals

:02:50. > :02:57.across the world, to control our own borders, to have have an Australian

:02:58. > :03:03.style points system is not working any more. This is the first

:03:04. > :03:08.head-to-head debate of its kind. As we look set to enter the campaign

:03:09. > :03:12.for the first EU referendum in 40 years. Welsh Labour has already come

:03:13. > :03:17.out strongly in favour of remaining in. I think we should put forward a

:03:18. > :03:26.positive case as to why Wales benefits as part of being part of

:03:27. > :03:31.the European Union. It can help us in terms of jobs, innovation, that

:03:32. > :03:37.for the future of our young people. Expect one of the main battle

:03:38. > :03:41.grounds to be jobs. Carwyn Jones believes tens of thousands are at

:03:42. > :03:47.risk particularly with big manufacturers in the UK pulls out.

:03:48. > :03:52.Ukip says it will respond and highly topical fashion, claiming EU

:03:53. > :03:55.regulations put the future of the steelworks at risk. Nigel Farage is

:03:56. > :03:59.likely to go on the attack about the Welsh government's record on the

:04:00. > :04:05.millions of pounds of EU aid that has been invested in deprived

:04:06. > :04:09.communities. Labour claims more than ?800 million in aid will be lost to

:04:10. > :04:14.Wales in the event of a withdrawal but Ukip says the Westminster

:04:15. > :04:18.government pays up ?55 million a day to be part of the EU. If the UK

:04:19. > :04:25.pulls out, much of that money would be free to be spent in Wales. And

:04:26. > :04:30.looking in the background is the Assembly election campaign. There

:04:31. > :04:33.are advantages potentially to both men for tonight. It gives an

:04:34. > :04:38.opportunity to the First Minister to portray himself as a guardian of

:04:39. > :04:42.Welsh interests in the EU debate on the Nigel Farage an opportunity to

:04:43. > :04:48.be in Wales where his party is making a big push for the Assembly.

:04:49. > :04:52.The main campaign groups in the referendum would be formed into we

:04:53. > :04:56.know the exact date. David Cameron said yesterday that could be in the

:04:57. > :05:00.summer if he completes his re-negotiation with other EU leaders

:05:01. > :05:04.next month. The official Conservative position will not be

:05:05. > :05:10.known until those talks are over but there are plenty of sceptics in his

:05:11. > :05:14.party. The fact is simply that if we were not sending ?10 billion to

:05:15. > :05:24.Europe every year, we would spend it the way we want to our own

:05:25. > :05:26.priorities, one of them being regional aid. As far as Wales is

:05:27. > :05:29.concerned, Wales could do better as part of a strong United Kingdom. The

:05:30. > :05:34.Lib Dems say jobs would disappear overnight of the drawbridge was

:05:35. > :05:40.pulled up. Applied, it says the UK should not exit the EU without all

:05:41. > :05:46.four nations agreeing. If you look at our higher education sector,

:05:47. > :05:50.transport infrastructure and our agricultural centre and business,

:05:51. > :05:54.those are all areas where there is clear benefit to Wales and it is in

:05:55. > :05:59.Wales's interests were asked to remain a member of the EU. The

:06:00. > :06:04.stakes are high for both parties in the campaign. Labour says Wales has

:06:05. > :06:12.the most to lose. On that reckoning, Ukip will claim Wales has the most

:06:13. > :06:18.to gain as well. To my's event has been organised by a think tank and

:06:19. > :06:23.in the audience are many of the opinion formers in Wales, one of

:06:24. > :06:30.them Valerie Livingston. What are you expecting tonight? A really good

:06:31. > :06:34.debate. Nigel Farage has extensive experience in these events. He is

:06:35. > :06:39.also debating Europe, topic knows very well and is passionate about.

:06:40. > :06:47.He is up against Carwyn Jones, a man who also has a lot experience

:06:48. > :06:51.debating opposition politicians. He talked about emotion earlier. They

:06:52. > :06:56.have been building it up. How emotive do you think it will be?

:06:57. > :07:01.Passions will run high tide. It would make a lot of sense for both

:07:02. > :07:10.politicians to get in killer sound bites. And I suppose the key

:07:11. > :07:14.question is, to what extent will Wales set the tone and terms of the

:07:15. > :07:23.referendum campaign when it gets underway? I think tonight, the

:07:24. > :07:28.Carwyn Jones especially, it's about establishing himself as a credible

:07:29. > :07:35.leader and positioning himself as First Minister of Wales. And Nigel

:07:36. > :07:39.Farage? It's very important for in to night to get those great sound

:07:40. > :07:43.bites, to keep the momentum he has got in Wales at the moment that

:07:44. > :07:48.could transform into a block of assembly seats. Thank you very much

:07:49. > :07:53.indeed. We will have live updates online join the cause of the debate

:07:54. > :07:57.and I will bring you more at the 10:30pm bulletin.

:07:58. > :08:00.The state of the steel industry is expected to come up in the debate

:08:01. > :08:03.tonight so let's stay with that now because the price of scrap

:08:04. > :08:07.It's a good barometer of the health of the steel industry

:08:08. > :08:11.Scrap steel is only reaching half the price it was fetching this time

:08:12. > :08:14.last year - of great concern because of the thousands of jobs

:08:15. > :08:25.Our economics correspondent, Sarah Dickins, has the story.

:08:26. > :08:32.In Swansea docks, scrap metal is prepared to export and usually with

:08:33. > :08:37.the neighbouring steelworks. It notably buys scrap steel from this

:08:38. > :08:40.site to add to the steering makes from raw materials. None has been

:08:41. > :08:45.ordered for the first three months of this year. The demand for scraps

:08:46. > :08:51.steel fell throughout last year. 2015 has been tough. We have seen

:08:52. > :08:55.cheap Chinese still coming in from China into traditional European

:08:56. > :09:01.markets. In the UK particularly, they have suffered as a result of

:09:02. > :09:05.high energy tariffs as well. It is a double whammy with cheap Chinese

:09:06. > :09:10.products as well as the electricity tariffs. That has dampened the price

:09:11. > :09:15.of steel scrap down to virtually all time lows when you take into account

:09:16. > :09:23.annual inflation. Scrap cars were fetching ?85 per tonne a year ago.

:09:24. > :09:30.Now they are sold for ?25. 15 people are employed here. The scrap is

:09:31. > :09:38.change for different customers. These bundles will be exported to

:09:39. > :09:44.India. This has a copper content in it. We send that the fragmentation.

:09:45. > :09:50.On the left-hand side, this parlours where we load up the steel. We send

:09:51. > :09:55.that to Spain. The scrap sector employs 1500 people in Wales, 10,000

:09:56. > :10:00.across the UK and impacts many different parts of the economy. When

:10:01. > :10:02.economies around the world of feeling strong, confident and

:10:03. > :10:09.optimistic about the future, scrap like this game is huge value.

:10:10. > :10:13.Everybody wants it because it goes into so many commodities. The fact

:10:14. > :10:18.it is so low, the price, now and that there is a demand across the

:10:19. > :10:22.world suggests we have bumpy months ahead. Many economic forecasters say

:10:23. > :10:27.growth around the world will slow further as the year progresses,

:10:28. > :10:32.hitting scrap and the steel industry in general. South Wales particularly

:10:33. > :10:36.was the hub of the steel-making sector and relied upon steel scrap

:10:37. > :10:42.is a vital raw material within the steel-making chain so scrap matters

:10:43. > :10:46.absolutely. It is an essential raw material. And steel scrap is not the

:10:47. > :10:51.only commodity where prices are plummeting. The same is happening

:10:52. > :10:52.with oil, copper and iron ore, all indicators economies around the

:10:53. > :10:53.world are weakening. So Sarah, if the world's demand

:10:54. > :10:56.for steel doesn't pick up, it's a real worry

:10:57. > :11:07.for the industry here? It is. The works are loosing hundred

:11:08. > :11:13.million pounds a day and has been a long time. However committed Tata

:11:14. > :11:17.Steel is in the UK and Wales, and it clearly is, even through difficult

:11:18. > :11:21.times, there comes a point when things have to change. There are no

:11:22. > :11:26.indications that China will suddenly start using itself, the steel that

:11:27. > :11:34.makes, and start exporting steeper steel here. World prices are down.

:11:35. > :11:39.Even the steel Port Talbot is making our low prices. If you remember,

:11:40. > :11:45.before Christmas, we heard the unions were working with Tata Steel

:11:46. > :11:51.to save Port Talbot 4000 jobs. What they want to do is save it as much

:11:52. > :11:56.as possible. It is pretty likely, almost inevitable, that we will not

:11:57. > :12:05.see hundreds of jobs going very soon in the hope of saving as many of

:12:06. > :12:10.those 4000 as we possibly can. A pre-inquest hearing into the death

:12:11. > :12:13.of a soldier has heard how she may have been manipulated by those

:12:14. > :12:20.higher up the chain of command for sexual purposes. Cheryl James was

:12:21. > :12:24.found with a bullet wound to her head in 1995. The coroner must now

:12:25. > :12:29.decide on whether to consider new evidence at a full hearing next

:12:30. > :12:32.month. The MoD said it was inappropriate to suggest widening

:12:33. > :12:34.the scope of the inquest at this late stage.

:12:35. > :12:37.A man who failed to stop after his motorbike hit

:12:38. > :12:40.a ten-year-old boy in Mountain Ash has been jailed for 15 months.

:12:41. > :12:42.Matthew Llewellyn pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice

:12:43. > :12:44.and leaving the scene of the accident.

:12:45. > :12:47.Tye Hawkins suffered life-changing injuries as a result of the accident

:12:48. > :13:04.He suffered a serious brain injury and he is fortunately has had the

:13:05. > :13:07.support of his family and they are very grateful for the support they

:13:08. > :13:12.received from the community and friends in the local area but it is

:13:13. > :13:17.fair to say that there will be significant challenges ahead for him

:13:18. > :13:19.and it might not be until his late teens before the degree of the brain

:13:20. > :13:21.injury becomes clear. A 27-year-old woman has been

:13:22. > :13:23.arrested on suspicion of murder after the body of a man was found

:13:24. > :13:26.in a house in Cardiff. Police were called to an address

:13:27. > :13:29.in Llanrumney Avenue at around 4:30am yesterday following

:13:30. > :13:31.reports of a house fire. The man has not yet been

:13:32. > :13:33.formally identified Poor ambulance response times

:13:34. > :13:46.will inevitably lead to deaths, An expert witness was speaking

:13:47. > :13:50.at the inquiry into the death six-year-old Jasmine Lapsley,

:13:51. > :13:52.who choked on a grape whilst Her parents have questioned the 25

:13:53. > :14:09.minutes it took an ambulance Jasmine Lapsley was taken to

:14:10. > :14:15.hospital by helicopter. It arrived shortly after an ambulance. The

:14:16. > :14:22.inquest was told Time is crucial in cases like hers. The first 999 call

:14:23. > :14:29.went in it 8:32pm. Ambulance control contacted the RAF at 8:45pm. An

:14:30. > :14:40.ambulance to not get to Jasmine until 10:57pm. She was in intensive

:14:41. > :14:47.care in Bangor at 9:33pm. Professor Charles Deacon said he did not know

:14:48. > :14:52.why there was a delay in getting in touch with the RAF. One would have

:14:53. > :14:57.thought it would of made sense to contact them right away, he said,

:14:58. > :15:01.and he was asked if the delay was too long. Earlier would have been

:15:02. > :15:06.better, came the reply. Jasmine had been on holiday with her brothers,

:15:07. > :15:10.parents and grandparents. She was playing cards on a grape stuck in

:15:11. > :15:15.her throat. They had travelled from their home in Liverpool to the

:15:16. > :15:19.coast. The inquest heard frantic attempts to help while they waited

:15:20. > :15:23.for an ambulance arrive. The coroner was given figures that showed the

:15:24. > :15:29.upturn in August last year, ambulance response times and Gwyneth

:15:30. > :15:35.Bell consistently below government targets. Lowered targets lead to

:15:36. > :15:39.deaths, Professor Deacon said. At the time, two ambulances in the area

:15:40. > :15:45.were both on the calls. Neither could be diverted. Across the UK,

:15:46. > :15:47.you said, ten children a year die of choking. Time is of the essence.

:15:48. > :15:54.Is Swansea City's exit from the FA Cup a blessing in disguise?

:15:55. > :15:57.Now they can concentrate on staying in the Premier League.

:15:58. > :16:01.And finally, it's turning colder, wintry showers, ice on the roads

:16:02. > :16:12.Pupils have returned to Coed Eva primary school in Cwmbran

:16:13. > :16:16.after the infant classrooms burnt down on New Year's Day.

:16:17. > :16:19.The junior school building has been made temporarily infant-friendly

:16:20. > :16:22.as the school tries to accommodate all of the year groups

:16:23. > :16:32.Jordan Davies spent the afternoon there.

:16:33. > :16:35.Back to school, finally, and a special assembly

:16:36. > :16:39.for the retuning Coed Eva pupils, their Christmas holidays extended

:16:40. > :16:44.by a week because of a fire at the school on New Year's Day,

:16:45. > :16:57.To say that we have moved mountains has not been an understatement. We

:16:58. > :17:00.have had to do staggered break times and the catering facilities but we

:17:01. > :17:01.are managing to do that so that's positive.

:17:02. > :17:05.The infant classrooms burnt down in less than 20 minutes.

:17:06. > :17:08.Two men and four teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of arson

:17:09. > :17:12.and have been released on police bail.

:17:13. > :17:15.The junior classes are now officially infant-friendly,

:17:16. > :17:17.which means an urgent delivery of a sandpit for this lot

:17:18. > :17:27.and alterations elsewhere in the school.

:17:28. > :17:30.Temporary classrooms will be craned onto this land to free up space in

:17:31. > :17:33.the school. Parents and pupils have raised

:17:34. > :17:35.hundreds of pounds to help Some were relieved to be

:17:36. > :17:49.back at school. I have been fortunate. A neighbour

:17:50. > :17:55.has looked after my son. But family have had to rally round. For some

:17:56. > :18:02.friends, it has been a big disruption in terms of working and

:18:03. > :18:07.trying to sort out childcare. I was lucky up until Wednesday. My mum was

:18:08. > :18:11.able to take him for me. But as childcare runs out, I had to take

:18:12. > :18:16.unpaid leave from work. As well as dealing with all that trouble, they

:18:17. > :18:18.have had to find replacements for me about other site as well.

:18:19. > :18:20.It could take two years before new permenant classrooms

:18:21. > :18:23.Nursery pupils will have to wait up to a fortnight before

:18:24. > :18:29.The Brecon Beacon National Park Authority has refused to comment

:18:30. > :18:34.further on its proposals to change visitor centres and cut eight jobs.

:18:35. > :18:36.The body says an internal consultation is looking

:18:37. > :18:39.at the proposals to save more than ?200,000 as a result

:18:40. > :18:46.One former park authority member says some feel the body could do

:18:47. > :19:05.We noted in this area, every visitor brings about ?5 into the local

:19:06. > :19:12.economy, which is huge. And I really do think that it is very easy for

:19:13. > :19:15.them to hit the soft targets, the tourist information centres, the

:19:16. > :19:18.Mountains sent and other areas when they should be looking at expanding

:19:19. > :19:19.areas such as the planning department.

:19:20. > :19:22.69 road accidents have been reported to North Wales Police today

:19:23. > :19:23.following an early-morning drop in temperature.

:19:24. > :19:26.Denbighshire and Flintshire Coucils have both said said they didn't grit

:19:27. > :19:28.roads until this morning because overnight forecasts

:19:29. > :19:31.Motorists are being warned to take extra care as the cold

:19:32. > :19:43.We'll have a full weather forecast after tonight's sport with Tomos.

:19:44. > :19:46.Disappointed and embarassed - that's how Swansea's interim manager

:19:47. > :19:51.and players felt after crashing out of the FA Cup at Oxford.

:19:52. > :19:54.Now, staying in the Premier League will be Alan Curtis' main focus,

:19:55. > :19:57.starting with a key game against relegation strugglers

:19:58. > :20:03.Curtis also revealed tonight the club will consider selling

:20:04. > :20:06.Jonjo Shelvey if they get a firm offer.

:20:07. > :20:13.There won't be an FA Cup run for Swansea City this season.

:20:14. > :20:16.Following the dissapointing defeat to Oxford, Alan Curtis was keen

:20:17. > :20:19.to look forward to this Wednesday's fixture against fellow struggling

:20:20. > :20:35.As disappointed and embarrassed as we were by yesterday's performance,

:20:36. > :20:40.we have to look forward now. Wednesday will be a different set of

:20:41. > :20:42.circumstances and I'm sure there will be a big bounce back.

:20:43. > :20:44.Jefferson Montero's sublime strike gave Swansea the lead at Oxford

:20:45. > :21:03.but the League 2 side fought back, securing a shock 3-2 win.

:21:04. > :21:07.Alan Curtis confirmed the club would consider selling shellfish.

:21:08. > :21:09.You described the result as a huge setback but are you looking

:21:10. > :21:12.at yesteday's FA Cup defeat as a blessing in disguise?

:21:13. > :21:14.You're now able to prioritise the League.

:21:15. > :21:19.I have got to be honest, I would rather be in the cup.

:21:20. > :21:22.Swansea are just two points clear of the relegation zone and four

:21:23. > :21:23.points ahead of next opponents Sunderland,

:21:24. > :21:28.The visit of the Black Cats is the first of four home games

:21:29. > :21:31.here at the Liberty over the next month.

:21:32. > :21:33.Cardiff City will also play on Wednesday.

:21:34. > :21:35.They travel to Hull in the Championship,

:21:36. > :21:38.hoping to bounce back after a third-round defeat yesterday

:21:39. > :21:52.to lower league opposition Shrewsbury of League 1.

:21:53. > :22:01.The new playing surface could be installed on Thursday.

:22:02. > :22:04.The weather has also taken a toll on the pitch at Rodney Parade

:22:05. > :22:06.with Newport County's FA Cup third-round game cancelled.

:22:07. > :22:10.Their tie with Blackburn has been postponed until a week tomorrow.

:22:11. > :22:14.They are the only Welsh team in the pot.

:22:15. > :22:16.Newport fans - you haven't got long to wait.

:22:17. > :22:18.The draw is at 7:15pm, during The One Show,

:22:19. > :22:22.Wales have confirmed they'll be based in Brittany

:22:23. > :22:26.in North West France for this summer's Euro 2016 finals.

:22:31. > :22:34.set among 30,000 square metres of parkland overlooking

:22:35. > :22:38.It has a world-class fitness centre that includes three indoor swimming

:22:39. > :22:48.The players will train at Dinard FC, which is less than two miles away.

:22:49. > :22:51.Welshman Mark Sampson says he owes a lot to his players after agreeing

:22:52. > :22:55.a two-year contract extension with the England women's team.

:22:56. > :22:58.Well, it's a big night for Sampson, who's from Taff Well near Cardiff.

:22:59. > :23:01.He's nominated for the Women's Coach of the Year at the Ballon D'or

:23:02. > :23:09.Awards in Zurich, which celebrates the best in world football.

:23:10. > :23:18.You have got to paint yourself sometimes. I have got some really

:23:19. > :23:21.good friends and family back home to bring me back down to earth to

:23:22. > :23:25.remember the tough times as well. But at the moment, they are good

:23:26. > :23:28.times. You are always aware in football that things can change

:23:29. > :23:31.quickly so you've got to enjoy the good times and get back on the

:23:32. > :23:33.bandwagon when you have got bad times.

:23:34. > :23:35.The Glamorgan bowling coach Robert Croft, who'll be joining

:23:36. > :23:37.the England coaching team for the One Day International series

:23:38. > :23:40.against South Africa next month, says he's interested in the vacant

:23:41. > :23:44.The club hopes to appoint Toby Radford's successor next month.

:23:45. > :23:46.Croft also told me he's looking forward to working with England's

:23:47. > :23:59.I am really excited about it. I got a phone call before Christmas from

:24:00. > :24:03.Andrew Strauss, asking me if I would consider going out of being in the

:24:04. > :24:08.environment for the spinners primarily, if they should want to

:24:09. > :24:16.discuss experiences on the field, nothing technical. Do you think you

:24:17. > :24:22.fancy your chances at the top job? It appeals to me. At this stage in

:24:23. > :24:28.my career, playing has gone, so it is a job that appeals to me. It is

:24:29. > :24:34.just whether it is the right time. You up for it, it is whether

:24:35. > :24:38.Glamorgan want you. I am sure, like any decision-making process, it will

:24:39. > :24:43.be examined fully by Hugh Morris and his team.

:24:44. > :24:49.This is the first time this winter I've used the frosty globe.

:24:50. > :24:53.Not a big freeze but feeling much more seasonal.

:25:02. > :25:04.Ice caused numerous accidents in north Wales this morning.

:25:05. > :25:07.Tonight some dry weather but a few showers as well.

:25:08. > :25:16.Becoming strong on the north and west coast with lowest

:25:17. > :25:20.Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure over the North Sea.

:25:21. > :25:25.Plenty of isobars over the UK and that means stronger winds.

:25:26. > :25:29.Here's the picture for 8 in the morning.

:25:30. > :25:32.Parts of the south and SW dry but a different story for mid

:25:33. > :25:37.Falling as snow on higher ground, the hills and mountains.

:25:38. > :25:46.During the day the rain and showers will spread further south.

:25:47. > :25:50.Most of the snow on higher ground, the hills and mountains.

:25:51. > :25:59.Temperatures lower than today 3 to 7 Celsius.

:26:00. > :26:02.And feeling much colder in the strong and gusty wind.

:26:03. > :26:05.Bitterly cold on Pen y Fan tomorrow with gales and snow showers.

:26:06. > :26:10.Tomorrow night the wind and showers will ease.

:26:11. > :26:12.Becoming dry and clear with a widespread

:26:13. > :26:17.So a dry, frosty and icy start on Wednesday.

:26:18. > :26:20.Bright for a time but more showers will spread from the west

:26:21. > :26:31.And falling as snow on higher ground, the hills and mountains.

:26:32. > :26:33.On Thursday a breezy, windy day and feeling colder.

:26:34. > :26:38.Most of the showers in the north and west.

:26:39. > :26:41.Let's return to our main story and the First Minister Carwyn Jones

:26:42. > :26:43.and UKIP's Nigel Farage are about to go head to head

:26:44. > :26:45.in a debate on whether the UK should leave -

:26:46. > :26:49.Our Political Editor Nick Servini is there.

:26:50. > :27:08.It is. Fair to describe this as the most high-profile event, political

:27:09. > :27:13.event, in Wales in relation to the EU referendum campaign. The timing

:27:14. > :27:18.here is relevant. Organisers want this to kick start a debate about

:27:19. > :27:21.our membership of the EU and they could be right. David Cameron

:27:22. > :27:25.yesterday was indicating strongly that if he gets his renegotiation

:27:26. > :27:30.next month, this referendum could happen as early as June. The

:27:31. > :27:35.campaign could be a con us before we know it. In terms of the issues that

:27:36. > :27:41.will be debated tonight, I would expect aid, trade and immigration to

:27:42. > :27:46.dominate. Interesting questions that will be fascinating to see how it

:27:47. > :27:51.plays out. To what extent will Labour play the fear card on what it

:27:52. > :27:56.could mean for jobs and growth in the event of an EU withdrawal? Nigel

:27:57. > :28:01.Farage will be far more used to operating in a head-to-head debate

:28:02. > :28:09.than Carwyn Jones in relation to this. And then of course, how

:28:10. > :28:14.emotive or both leaders be? Comprehensive coverage of that

:28:15. > :28:17.debate at 10:25pm. Quick update a PM before then.
