23/01/2016 BBC Wales Today

Good evening.

A Welsh Minister says he's confident the Assembly will reject UK

government moves to tighten up the rules on industrial action

in areas such as health and education.

Public Services Minister Leighton Andrews says the Trade Union Bill

is "an intrusion into the devolution settlement", ahead of a vote

in the Assembly on Tuesday.

Here's our political reporter Bethan Lewis.

A fair balance between the right to strike and the rights of everyone

else to go about their daily lives - that is how the UK government

sees its reforms to the rules about industrial action.

But the Welsh Government is strongly opposed and says it

will fight the changes.

The Trade Union Bill, which is going through Parliament

at the moment, would allow employers to use agency workers

to replace striking staff.

50% of a union's members would have to vote in a ballot calling

for industrial action.

And 40% of those eligible to vote would have to support a strike

in key areas such as health and education.

Later this week, the Assembly is likely to vote against allowing

the UK Parliament to pass parts of the new law,

but with the UK government adamant that responsibility is not devolved,

it is heading for a constitutional clash.

The First Minister has already said it could ultimately end up

in the Supreme Court.

We are confident that the Assembly will not give authority for the UK

Government to legislate in this area.

The UK Government may take the view that they are able to do so,

in which case we will seek to reverse the effects of the bill

in the next Assembly, as the First Minister has said.

Employment legislation is not devolved to the National Assembly,

therefore issuing an opinion on it is nothing more than that.

Passions run deep on issues such as the right to strike

and the impact of industrial action.

Although the Welsh Public Services Minister says a legal fight can be

avoided if the UK Government listens, at the moment both sides

are standing firm.

You can see more on this story tomorrow morning

on Sunday Politics Wales at 11.00am on BBC One Wales.

Baroness Jenny Randerson is to launch a review of heritage

services in Wales.

The aim is to help those involved in preserving Welsh heritage

to work better together.

Baroness Randerson says she hopes it will help heritage sites to compete

more effectively with other UK nations to attract visitors.

It is very important indeed that we ensure that,

not just people in Wales, but people well beyond Wales know

all about our heritage and are encouraged to come here,

to visit heritage properties, historic houses, castles,

museums and so on.

A unique art exhibition has opened today reflecting the history

of the Wylfa Nuclear Power Station on Anglesey.

It has been created by a group of artists from around the UK

and includes original paintings, photographs and historic films

from the power station.

After 44 years, Wylfa stopped producing electricity last year.

Some sports news now, starting with football.

In the Championship, Cardiff City have drawn 2-2 at home

against Rotherham - the Bluebirds' Andy Pilkington

scoring an own goal.

Meanwhile, Newport County could only manage a 2-2 draw against strugglers

Dagenham and Redbridge in League 2, and Wrexham have moved up to tenth

after beating Lincoln City 3-1 in the National League.

In rugby, the Scarlets are hoping to avoid a European Champions cup

whitewash as they take on Northampton this evening.

The Saints can still reach the last eight, but the Scarlets haven't

made the cut.

The latest score at Parc y Scarlets is 12-0 to the vistors.

Time for a full check on the weather now with Behnaz Akghar.

Good evening.

The milder air is set to stick around well into the start

of next week.

With that, we do have quite a bit of cloud and some

rain, as well.

The rain heavy for the first part of this evening,

but gradually easing as we go into the overnight period.

We will see it turning more patchy.

Also some mist and hill fog forming, as well.

Temperatures not dropping too much with a low of eight degrees or nine

Celsius.

Tomorrow, once the mist and fogs lifts, we will hang on to quite

a bit of cloud, so it is a grey day, largely dry in the morning.

Some patchy rain especially on the hills by the time we get

into the afternoon.

Limited amounts of brightness for Powys and the south-east.

Temperatures creeping up to about 14, maybe even 15 Celsius,

which is quite unusual for the time of year.

Remaining unsettled for the start of next week.

By Tuesday there is the potential for some localised flooding.

That's Wales Today.

We'll have more tomorrow evening at 5.20pm.

Thanks for watching.

Goodbye.
