:01:46. > :01:52.This man wants to be the next First Minister of Wales but if he gets the

:01:57. > :02:01.Conservatives form a government he and his Cabinet will take a 10% pay
:02:02. > :02:04.cut to their ministerial salary, saving around a quarter of ?1
:02:05. > :02:08.million. We are actually saying where we would invest that money
:02:09. > :02:10.because ultimately we believe that young people obviously for the
:02:11. > :02:15.future of this great country and we believe that this institution is the
:02:16. > :02:19.democratic will of lost democracy and we do want greater youth Welsh
:02:20. > :02:22.participation here so instead of just talking about it we will be
:02:23. > :02:29.making sure we put our money where our mouths are and invest that money

:02:54. > :02:56.MPs in David Cameron's Summit. This recruitment specialist says it is
:02:57. > :03:01.not money that would attract executives politics. I would say for
:03:02. > :03:07.people going into politics, there needs to be airway and it is usually
:03:08. > :03:12.deep within them for another challenge for them, not all about
:03:13. > :03:15.money, certainly wouldn't going in politics for that, it is about
:03:16. > :03:19.making a difference. Last year an independent panel recommended that
:03:20. > :03:22.they should be given a pay rise but with the current squeeze on public
:03:23. > :03:27.spending many members said they couldn't take the squeeze and would
:03:28. > :03:30.give the money to charity. But if we want the best and brightest
:03:31. > :03:34.representing us in Cardiff Bay, isn't it right we paid top dollar?
:03:35. > :03:40.On a High Street here it was a mixed response. If other people are either
:03:41. > :03:46.having a pay cut or the wages are staying the same for just 1% for
:03:47. > :03:50.something why should they not be in the same situation? It is a very
:03:51. > :03:55.responsible job, you should have good pay. It is penny-pinching
:03:56. > :04:01.otherwise to cut it. So is it a bit of a gimmick? Absolutely. It is a
:04:02. > :04:06.gimmick. Considering I had ?1 80 last week, brilliant. Last year on
:04:07. > :04:10.the pension. They need to, and live with the common people for a month
:04:11. > :04:13.and see how we live and then they might have a different idea. So some
:04:14. > :04:19.support here for cut-price politics, after all, everyone loves a bargain.

:04:22. > :04:26.Arwyn, an election is on the horizon - this is just an easy
:04:27. > :04:33.I think every political party knows that when the Welsh Assembly
:04:34. > :04:37.election begins in a few weeks' time, voters will dodge them on
:04:38. > :04:41.plans for hospitals, schools, support they can give businesses.
:04:42. > :04:47.Mike but I think the Conservatives know full well there are an awful
:04:48. > :04:50.lot of voters have either seen pay freezes or pay cuts. Also there is
:04:51. > :04:54.the residual feeling that politicians tend to be in it for
:04:55. > :05:01.themselves will stop so, any sort of plan a can outline which seeks to
:05:02. > :05:04.address that will certainly be good for them. Andrew RT Davies will also
:05:05. > :05:07.be outlining a package that will include fewer holidays for Assembly
:05:08. > :05:11.members, they should be in this place more often and that perhaps
:05:12. > :05:16.trying to address that feeling that all voters are not all that keen on
:05:17. > :05:21.politicians. What has been the reaction from other parties? But a
:05:22. > :05:24.lot from the other parties. Perhaps that is understandable because we
:05:25. > :05:29.would want to be seen to be opposing it cut to the cost of politics? But
:05:30. > :05:34.as I was saying in the report, last year when we got that independent
:05:35. > :05:40.panel which recommended the salary for Assembly members should go up
:05:41. > :05:42.from ?54,000 to ?64,000, a lot of Assembly members crossed the
:05:43. > :05:46.political divide and said they couldn't accept that increase and
:05:47. > :05:49.would give to charity. There is a consensus that this idea of cutting
:05:50. > :05:53.the cost of politics. The Conservatives certainly have taken
:05:54. > :05:57.the lead on that today but not a lot of reaction today because we get
:05:58. > :06:00.closer to that election campaign you can rest assured that an awful lot
:06:01. > :06:05.of politicians will have an awful lot to say an awful lot of issues.

:11:08. > :11:11.earlier this week that after old local members here will now get a
:11:12. > :11:15.vote on ranking those selections but it hasn't satisfied everyone. There
:11:16. > :11:19.are four now on the record all going for him to go over how he has
:11:20. > :11:24.handled this and others are saying so privately. There is still support

:11:28. > :11:35.happening and he said this. Nathan has not been week. Absolutely not.
:11:36. > :11:39.Nathan will be leading this party, I can after you, into the Assembly
:11:40. > :11:44.elections and he will be a very effective leader. So where does all
:11:45. > :11:48.this leave the party? There are two immediate problems. Firstly getting
:11:49. > :11:52.the members united behind Nathan Gill. Clearly at this age of the
:11:53. > :11:56.electoral cycle this kind of position is not helpful. From an
:11:57. > :12:00.organisational perspective is not as a thing. Secondly, getting these
:12:01. > :12:04.selections finally sorted so the party can appoint sportspeople in
:12:05. > :12:08.areas like health, education and inequality and get focused on
:12:09. > :12:11.finalising the men's first to and focusing on the campaign. There is a
:12:12. > :12:15.meeting of the Welsh committee this Saturday. I think it is going to be

:14:35. > :14:39.health and an expensive bill for the NHS. One Welsh MP dings this may be
:14:40. > :14:44.because they and their parents don't realise how much they eat. They

:15:18. > :15:22.would make me think twice if it was a lot and if it said, it is beans
:15:23. > :15:27.but if it was just a few, then it probably would get it. The proposed
:15:28. > :15:30.law would force manufacturers to state how many teaspoons of sugar
:15:31. > :15:33.the put in food ordering. The industry is not keen. I think it is
:15:34. > :15:40.a really bad idea. For a number of reasons. Firstly obesity is caused
:15:41. > :15:45.by excess calories, those could come from alcohol, saturated fat, five,
:15:46. > :15:50.protein. Or they could come from sugar. So why would you single out
:15:51. > :15:58.one particular nutrient? Better labelling is one idea. Plaid Cymru
:15:59. > :16:03.say they've would also put a tax on sugary drinks and spend the cash
:16:04. > :16:09.raised on the NHS. If more people are aware of the health impacts on
:16:10. > :16:14.what was perceived to be healthy, if they believe it is going towards
:16:15. > :16:18.something like more doctors and not into the general public purse. That

:20:02. > :20:05.wins in the championship will guarantee Wales a place at the
:20:06. > :20:06.tournament next year. We wish them well.
:20:07. > :20:08.To the men's game, and after selecting Tom James
:20:09. > :20:10.to start on the wing against Ireland this weekend,
:20:11. > :20:13.Wales coach Warren Gatland says Hallam Amos isn't quick enough to be
:20:14. > :20:17.Amos is being released back to the Dragons for tomorrow's game
:20:18. > :20:20.at Ulster and Gatland says he sees him more as a fullback
:20:21. > :20:24.I know he can cover on the wing and does play there,
:20:25. > :20:31.but we do see his long-term position being full-back
:20:32. > :20:34.and gave him the opportunity to exploit and work on improving
:20:35. > :20:44.He is quick but he wouldn't be an international winger.
:20:45. > :20:47.Swansea City's new striker Alberto Palosgi is expected
:20:48. > :20:51.to start his first game for the club against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
:20:52. > :20:54.The Italian, who cost ?8 million, came on from the bench in Tuesday's
:20:55. > :20:57.draw against West Brom and nearly scored on his debut.
:20:58. > :21:05.Manager Francesco Guidolin says he was impressed by his performance.
:21:06. > :21:13.Alberto played well against West Brom.
:21:14. > :21:19.Normally I decide the last day before the match,
:21:20. > :21:23.but I think Alberto is ready for a game.
:21:24. > :21:26.Tenby on the Pembrokeshire coast attracts plenty of visitors every
:21:27. > :21:29.year but one of its oldest attractions has a blunt message -
:21:30. > :21:32.come and visit us or we will be forced to close.
:21:33. > :21:38.Wales' oldest independent museum opened in the town in 1878,
:21:39. > :21:41.but following cuts to its funding it could be forced to shut its doors
:21:42. > :21:57.Perched high above the sea, Tenby's Museum reigns over the history and
:21:58. > :22:02.heritage of this town. Tenby Museum has got great collections. The
:22:03. > :22:06.wonderful Augustus Gwen John collection which are really
:22:07. > :22:10.unparalleled in the county. Those famous Welsh names helped draw in
:22:11. > :22:16.17,000 visitors a year. But it is also a line on local authority
:22:17. > :22:20.funding. That is drying up. It costs about 100,000 a year. We are going
:22:21. > :22:26.to suffer a cut in funding of 10,000 from next year which is a big lump,
:22:27. > :22:30.about 10%, of our overall income year-on-year. Councils don't have to
:22:31. > :22:36.fund their local museums but most do. There are around 120 in Wales.
:22:37. > :22:41.76 are run will receive some help from their local authority. With
:22:42. > :22:45.councils across Wales spending ?9.3 million financing them. A Welsh
:22:46. > :22:50.Government review into this sector found many were in a state of real
:22:51. > :22:55.decline. To survive, there needs to be real reform. These challenges are
:22:56. > :22:58.not going to throw people off their game. Museums will find new
:22:59. > :23:02.collaborations, partnerships and a new way of working to still deliver
:23:03. > :23:08.services in a really positive way. To the benefit of communities. Tenby
:23:09. > :23:13.has cut staffing costs but is now making a direct appeal to the
:23:14. > :23:18.community. Use it or lose it. If everybody who lives in Tenby bought
:23:19. > :23:21.a ticket and came up here and that ticket is valid for a whole 12
:23:22. > :23:25.months. They can come back as often as they like and bring children into
:23:26. > :23:30.for nothing, that would be such a big help. Pembrokeshire Council says
:23:31. > :23:34.they least the building to the museum to peppercorn rent and they
:23:35. > :23:37.cannot comment yet on what the next budget will bring.
:23:38. > :23:40.Well, let's see how the weather is looking over the next few days.
:23:41. > :23:51.After a couple of colder and brighter days we are back into mild
:23:52. > :23:55.and unsettled weather. Turning wet and windy tomorrow. This evening
:23:56. > :24:00.rain will continue on and off. Cloudy, Misty and murky. Spells of
:24:01. > :24:06.drizzle especially in the hills. Dry by Don but strengthening winds. It
:24:07. > :24:11.or 10 Celsius. Tomorrow starts tribe but this cold front pushing
:24:12. > :24:14.south-east across Wales later on and through the night. Tomorrow will be
:24:15. > :24:19.mostly cloudy. Some really bright spells and patchy drizzle. That
:24:20. > :24:24.heavier rain will arrive from the north-west through the afternoon
:24:25. > :24:30.slowly spreading south-east. Strong winds in the West, Gail possible
:24:31. > :24:34.along the coast. Top temperatures of nine on Anglesey and 11th in
:24:35. > :24:36.Newport. That cold fund will continue to bring a spell of heavy
:24:37. > :24:42.rain clearing through the early hours of Saturday but further rain
:24:43. > :24:48.arriving from the west by Don. Temperatures more like 4- yet
:24:49. > :24:52.Celsius, cold behind that front. On Saturday further wind and rain from
:24:53. > :24:56.this area of low pressure as these from Spanish in from the Atlantic.
:24:57. > :25:02.The exact track of these is uncertain but it brings some very
:25:03. > :25:05.unsettled weather. Some dry spells further east on Saturday but it
:25:06. > :25:12.deteriorates through the day turning wet and windy. A Met Office warning
:25:13. > :25:17.for heavier rain later on Saturday. The risk of gales. These are the
:25:18. > :25:22.mean wind speeds. 29 or 30 mph but we could see ghosts of 50, 60 or
:25:23. > :25:28.even 70 along the exposed coasts. Low pressure systems with this
:25:29. > :25:32.unsettled Atlantic influence will make it changeable on Sunday.
:25:33. > :25:36.Remaining windy. There could be a mix of sunny spells and blustery
:25:37. > :25:40.showers on Sunday morning which could be wintry on high ground. More
:25:41. > :25:46.rain is likely by Sunday night. Stronger winds again. And unsettled
:25:47. > :25:51.weekend ahead. Very windy with some heavy rain at times, particularly on
:25:52. > :25:56.Saturday. It could be potentially very windy on Monday stop quite
:25:57. > :26:01.stormy conditions. Today's picture is from Mike Davis, a rainbow over
:26:02. > :26:05.the Vale of Neath and we could see a few of these of the next few days.
:26:06. > :26:13.If you have any photos to help tell the weather story you can send them
:26:14. > :26:17.to us by e-mail or Twitter. You can become one of our weather watchers.
:26:18. > :26:26.Sign up and upload pictures on the website. You can keep up-to-date
:26:27. > :26:34.with all the detail on the smartphone up and check out the
:26:35. > :26:44.latest video forecast online. Some very changeable weather to come over
:26:45. > :26:49.the next few days. Lucy. A reminder of our main stories. World leaders
:26:50. > :26:53.have spent nearly ?7 billion to help refugees displaced by the Syrian
:26:54. > :26:57.conflict. David Cameron announced the funding at an international
:26:58. > :26:59.conference but it was overshadowed by the extension of peace talks and
:27:00. > :27:00.intense fighting on the ground. And Welsh ministers could get
:27:01. > :27:03.their pay cut by 10% if the Conservatives win
:27:04. > :27:05.the Assembly election in May. Their leader, Andrew RT Davies,
:27:06. > :27:08.says the money saved would go towards getting young people
:27:09. > :27:09.involved in politics. We'll have a quick update at 8pm,
:27:10. > :27:23.more after the BBC News at Ten. We are being honest. We are being up
:27:24. > :27:26.front. We are saying what we would do. If anyone would like to serve on
:27:27. > :27:31.a Welsh Conservative Cabinet they would have to take a 10% pay cut,
:27:32. > :27:36.plain and simple. No ifs, no buts, that is the measure. We will have a
:27:37. > :27:41.quick update for you at 8pm and more after the BBC News at ten but that
:27:42. > :27:43.is it for now. Thank you. Good evening and I will see you a bit
:27:44. > :27:44.later,
