Gwent Police are investigating the discovery of a baby's body

:00:12.:00:14.

near an industrial estate on the outskirts of Newport.

:00:15.:00:17.

They received a call just before two o'clock yesterday afternoon,

:00:18.:00:20.

that a baby's body had been found on land near

:00:21.:00:23.

Officers are treating the death as unexplained,

:00:24.:00:27.

and a postmortem examination is due to take place on Monday.

:00:28.:00:30.

They haven't released further details.

:00:31.:00:33.

The Welsh Economy and Transport Minister, Edwina Hart,

:00:34.:00:36.

has accused UK government officials of ignorance over suggestions

:00:37.:00:39.

several cross-border rail services could be split up.

:00:40.:00:43.

It would force passengers to change trains at a station near the border.

:00:44.:00:47.

Here's our Political Reporter, Cemlyn Davies.

:00:48.:00:52.

Like most routes in Wales, the Aberystwyth to Birmingham

:00:53.:00:53.

International line is part of the Wales and Borders rail

:00:54.:00:56.

franchise which will soon become the Welsh government's

:00:57.:00:59.

But it seems the map could be very different and much smaller

:01:00.:01:04.

There is a suggestion now that services like this one starting

:01:05.:01:10.

in Wales but ending in England could be broken up with different

:01:11.:01:15.

companies providing the service either side of Offa's Dyke and that

:01:16.:01:19.

could leave passengers travelling to places like Birmingham

:01:20.:01:22.

from Aberystwyth having to change at a station near the border.

:01:23.:01:27.

That's a very bad suggestion especially for people

:01:28.:01:29.

going to Birmingham International Airport, which is people

:01:30.:01:32.

from university, hospital, travelling a lot going

:01:33.:01:35.

I have to change over in Shrewsbury anyway.

:01:36.:01:44.

It's only about 20 minutes, 25 minutes maybe, half an hour

:01:45.:01:47.

changeover anyway, so it's just the best option

:01:48.:01:50.

The Department for Transport in London has said it expects that

:01:51.:01:58.

routes serving English communities will be remapped to ensure

:01:59.:02:01.

there is a proper accountability for passengers in England

:02:02.:02:04.

after the franchise has been devolved.

:02:05.:02:07.

The Welsh Transport Minister disagrees.

:02:08.:02:10.

I sometimes think that some of the people that you deal

:02:11.:02:13.

with don't actually understand Wales and they don't understand how things

:02:14.:02:15.

I mean sometimes officials at various levels within DFT

:02:16.:02:22.

but I have to say, at the end of the day, my job is to ensure

:02:23.:02:26.

we have the best passenger service and the best franchise and that's

:02:27.:02:29.

The Department for Transport said it's working closely with the Welsh

:02:30.:02:34.

government and no decision will be made without taking local

:02:35.:02:38.

And you can see more on this story on Sunday Politics Wales tomorrow

:02:39.:02:44.

morning at 11.00am on BBC One Wales.

:02:45.:02:48.

Homeowners in Pwllheli say they were left feeling frightened

:02:49.:02:50.

after receiving letters saying the Crown Estate wanted

:02:51.:02:54.

to keep its historical right to dig under their houses.

:02:55.:02:58.

The Crown Estate says it has no intention of digging anywhere

:02:59.:03:01.

but it's a legal process to ensure it doesn't lose the rights.

:03:02.:03:06.

I could understand that people might be quite afraid having seen this

:03:07.:03:09.

that something is going to happen in the near future

:03:10.:03:11.

I don't think that necessarily is the case, but certainly people

:03:12.:03:15.

should be aware of what their rights are and aware of what the potential

:03:16.:03:19.

Football, and in the Championship, Cardiff City have beaten

:03:20.:03:23.

In League 2, Newport County have also enjoyed a win away

:03:24.:03:28.

against Morecambe, 2-1, while Wrexham drew 1-all away

:03:29.:03:32.

Rugby and in the Pro 12, the Scarlets have lost away

:03:33.:03:37.

It was the Wales full-back Liam Williams' first appearance

:03:38.:03:42.

Meanwhile, the Cardiff Blues are playing Edinburgh

:03:43.:03:47.

A short time ago the score was 7-0 to the Blues.

:03:48.:03:52.

Let's get the weather forecast now with Sue Charles.

:03:53.:03:54.

Today's been the calm before another storm,

:03:55.:03:58.

Henry, on the way but before that, some rain tomorrow, milder

:03:59.:04:00.

Tonight starts dry but showers developing.

:04:01.:04:03.

Could turn wintry as they hit cold air on high ground but short lived.

:04:04.:04:06.

It turns less cold as cloud and rain arrives from the West.

:04:07.:04:13.

Maybe some frost and ice in East where it stays clear longest.

:04:14.:04:17.

Misty and murky with some rain, drizzle and hill fog.

:04:18.:04:23.

The wind picking up again but drawing in milder air

:04:24.:04:26.

11 Celsius in Ceredigion, 13 in Conwy.

:04:27.:04:33.

Then this low-pressure system pushes in from the Atlantic

:04:34.:04:35.

Our next named storm Henry could bring gale force winds,

:04:36.:04:42.

The potential for stormy conditions into Monday.

:04:43.:04:48.

Hello. The UK's next named storm is on the way, on Monday and Tuesday

:04:49.:05:20.

with rain and
