That's all from the BBC News at Six - so it's goodbye from me -

:00:00.:00:00.

The Tories promise to cut Welsh government ministers' pay

:00:00.:00:10.

If anyone would like to serve in a Welsh

:00:11.:00:15.

Conservative Cabinet, they would have to take

:00:16.:00:17.

It's usually one of the busiest roads in Wales.

:00:18.:00:27.

Work to reduce the risk of flooding will begin in the next few months.

:00:28.:00:30.

Growing calls from within Ukip for the party's leader

:00:31.:00:32.

How much sugar is there in your food and drinks?

:00:33.:00:37.

One Welsh MP wants it shown in spoonfuls on labels.

:00:38.:00:40.

Well, it should have been done a long time ago,

:00:41.:00:43.

Especially when my children were younger.

:00:44.:00:45.

I don't really think many people look.

:00:46.:00:51.

They just take it off the shelf, don't they?

:00:52.:00:54.

Wales' women prepare to start their Six Nations campaign.

:00:55.:00:58.

We'll catch-up with the army captain who's served in Afghanistan aiming

:00:59.:01:00.

for success against Ireland on Saturday.

:01:01.:01:14.

Welsh ministers could get their pay cut by 10% if the Conservatives win

:01:15.:01:19.

Their leader, Andrew RT Davies, will say in a speech tonight that

:01:20.:01:25.

giving his cabinet members ?90,000 each a year rather than ?100,000

:01:26.:01:29.

would save a quarter of a million over five years -

:01:30.:01:34.

money he says he'd put towards getting young people

:01:35.:01:37.

Our political correspondent Arwyn Jones has the details.

:01:38.:01:45.

This man wants to be the next First Minister of Wales but if he gets the

:01:46.:01:52.

top job after the election in May he wants a pay cut because if the

:01:53.:01:56.

Conservatives form a government he and his Cabinet will take a 10% pay

:01:57.:02:01.

cut to their ministerial salary, saving around a quarter of ?1

:02:02.:02:04.

million. We are actually saying where we would invest that money

:02:05.:02:08.

because ultimately we believe that young people obviously for the

:02:09.:02:10.

future of this great country and we believe that this institution is the

:02:11.:02:15.

democratic will of lost democracy and we do want greater youth Welsh

:02:16.:02:19.

participation here so instead of just talking about it we will be

:02:20.:02:22.

making sure we put our money where our mouths are and invest that money

:02:23.:02:29.

to develop youth participation. After the Assembly election day

:02:30.:02:34.

First Minister salary is expected to increase to ?140,000 with ministers

:02:35.:02:36.

of the worst government paying 100,000. That compares with 56,004

:02:37.:02:47.

headteachers, ?91,000 for top GPs, 147,004 council chiefs and 134,004

:02:48.:02:53.

MPs in David Cameron's Summit. This recruitment specialist says it is

:02:54.:02:56.

not money that would attract executives politics. I would say for

:02:57.:03:01.

people going into politics, there needs to be airway and it is usually

:03:02.:03:07.

deep within them for another challenge for them, not all about

:03:08.:03:12.

money, certainly wouldn't going in politics for that, it is about

:03:13.:03:15.

making a difference. Last year an independent panel recommended that

:03:16.:03:19.

they should be given a pay rise but with the current squeeze on public

:03:20.:03:22.

spending many members said they couldn't take the squeeze and would

:03:23.:03:27.

give the money to charity. But if we want the best and brightest

:03:28.:03:30.

representing us in Cardiff Bay, isn't it right we paid top dollar?

:03:31.:03:34.

On a High Street here it was a mixed response. If other people are either

:03:35.:03:40.

having a pay cut or the wages are staying the same for just 1% for

:03:41.:03:46.

something why should they not be in the same situation? It is a very

:03:47.:03:50.

responsible job, you should have good pay. It is penny-pinching

:03:51.:03:55.

otherwise to cut it. So is it a bit of a gimmick? Absolutely. It is a

:03:56.:04:01.

gimmick. Considering I had ?1 80 last week, brilliant. Last year on

:04:02.:04:06.

the pension. They need to, and live with the common people for a month

:04:07.:04:10.

and see how we live and then they might have a different idea. So some

:04:11.:04:13.

support here for cut-price politics, after all, everyone loves a bargain.

:04:14.:04:19.

Arwyn is at the Senedd tonight where the Conservative leader

:04:20.:04:21.

Arwyn, an election is on the horizon - this is just an easy

:04:22.:04:26.

I think every political party knows that when the Welsh Assembly

:04:27.:04:33.

election begins in a few weeks' time, voters will dodge them on

:04:34.:04:37.

plans for hospitals, schools, support they can give businesses.

:04:38.:04:41.

Mike but I think the Conservatives know full well there are an awful

:04:42.:04:47.

lot of voters have either seen pay freezes or pay cuts. Also there is

:04:48.:04:50.

the residual feeling that politicians tend to be in it for

:04:51.:04:54.

themselves will stop so, any sort of plan a can outline which seeks to

:04:55.:05:01.

address that will certainly be good for them. Andrew RT Davies will also

:05:02.:05:04.

be outlining a package that will include fewer holidays for Assembly

:05:05.:05:07.

members, they should be in this place more often and that perhaps

:05:08.:05:11.

trying to address that feeling that all voters are not all that keen on

:05:12.:05:16.

politicians. What has been the reaction from other parties? But a

:05:17.:05:21.

lot from the other parties. Perhaps that is understandable because we

:05:22.:05:24.

would want to be seen to be opposing it cut to the cost of politics? But

:05:25.:05:29.

as I was saying in the report, last year when we got that independent

:05:30.:05:34.

panel which recommended the salary for Assembly members should go up

:05:35.:05:40.

from ?54,000 to ?64,000, a lot of Assembly members crossed the

:05:41.:05:42.

political divide and said they couldn't accept that increase and

:05:43.:05:46.

would give to charity. There is a consensus that this idea of cutting

:05:47.:05:49.

the cost of politics. The Conservatives certainly have taken

:05:50.:05:53.

the lead on that today but not a lot of reaction today because we get

:05:54.:05:57.

closer to that election campaign you can rest assured that an awful lot

:05:58.:06:00.

of politicians will have an awful lot to say an awful lot of issues.

:06:01.:06:05.

I'm sure they will. Thank you very much.

:06:06.:06:06.

Work to reduce the risk of flooding on one of the busiest roads in Wales

:06:07.:06:10.

The Welsh government has announced an extra half a million pounds

:06:11.:06:14.

to improve drainage on and around the A55 near Bangor -

:06:15.:06:17.

which was badly affected over Christmas.

:06:18.:06:18.

A major highway, or a dual carriageway canal.

:06:19.:06:23.

This was the A55 on Boxing Day as flood water closed the road

:06:24.:06:30.

and left places like Bangor partially cut off from the rest of

:06:31.:06:32.

It wasn't the first time in the last few years it had happened.

:06:33.:06:36.

Water also flowed into the village of Talybont, alongside the A55,

:06:37.:06:41.

Today the First Minister came to North Wales to announce that work

:06:42.:06:45.

will begin soon to deal with both problems.

:06:46.:06:51.

The A55 is the major gateway to Wales across the northern coast and

:06:52.:06:57.

it needs to be as resilient as possible. So, what we are doing is

:06:58.:07:01.

making sure that the money is available to move forward, it

:07:02.:07:07.

schemes in Talybont and also bringing the work between junctions

:07:08.:07:10.

12 and 13. Both areas were affected by flooding over Christmas.

:07:11.:07:13.

The response to that flooding and other emergencies on the A55

:07:14.:07:15.

is co-ordinated from this control room near Conwy.

:07:16.:07:17.

Staff here also get a good view of the many cones

:07:18.:07:20.

which are currently on the carriageway.

:07:21.:07:27.

Some drivers fear this means more are to come.

:07:28.:07:30.

Back in Talybont, one resident has welcomed the scheme

:07:31.:07:32.

The people of Talybont will be very pleased with this. It has been a

:07:33.:07:43.

long time coming but only people in Talybont Worle rest peacefully

:07:44.:07:47.

knowing that the A55 warm up not fund again and that homes are safe.

:07:48.:07:52.

People in Talybont also welcomed the scheme to protect their homes but

:07:53.:07:56.

some wish it could have been done sooner before the house was flooded

:07:57.:07:59.

by the second time in just a few years.

:08:00.:08:01.

A jury at the Old Bailey has retired to consider its verdict in the case

:08:02.:08:05.

of three men accused of helping a teenager from Cardiff to join

:08:06.:08:07.

militants from the Islamic State group in Syria.

:08:08.:08:09.

The men, including Kristen Brek from the Grangetown area

:08:10.:08:12.

of the city, are charged with assisting in the preparation

:08:13.:08:14.

Tata Steel has reported a net loss of ?215 million in the last quarter

:08:15.:08:20.

of 2015 across its business in Europe and India.

:08:21.:08:26.

Last month the company announced hundreds of job losses at its works

:08:27.:08:29.

The Indian company said that despite rising demand for steel,

:08:30.:08:33.

it has been hit by a flood of cheap imports.

:08:34.:08:37.

An inquest in Cardiff has heard how a father-of-three choked to death

:08:38.:08:41.

while trying to eat a McDonald's cheeseburger in one go.

:08:42.:08:54.

burger following a night out drinking with friends.

:08:55.:08:58.

A verdict of death by misadventure has been recorded.

:08:59.:09:06.

The headmaster of a Newport secondary school has criticised

:09:07.:09:08.

the way the Council has handled the planning of a new Welsh language

:09:09.:09:11.

Parents are meeting tonight to discuss the rejection of plans

:09:12.:09:15.

to build a new Welsh school on the site of Duffryn High School.

:09:16.:09:18.

The headmaster, Jon Wilson, says the whole situation

:09:19.:09:20.

is a "mess." Newport Council says it's committed to investing

:09:21.:09:22.

A new report on cancer in Wales has shown that an estimated 40% of cases

:09:23.:09:27.

could have been prevented by tackling smoking,

:09:28.:09:29.

The figures show a 14% rise in new cancer cases in the ten years

:09:30.:09:33.

to 2014, mainly due to people living longer.

:09:34.:09:35.

It also found a clear link between lung cancer and inequality

:09:36.:09:38.

in Wales, with survival rates among the lowest in Europe.

:09:39.:09:42.

Getting older is the main risk factor for most cancers,

:09:43.:09:45.

but also we've noticed that there are increases beginning

:09:46.:09:51.

in middle age and younger pensioners and many of these are partly

:09:52.:09:54.

preventable cancers, so that's important.

:09:55.:10:00.

Four general election candidates for Ukip Wales are calling

:10:01.:10:02.

for the party's leader here, Nathan Gill, to resign.

:10:03.:10:06.

Joe Smith - the party's best performer in Wales at last year's

:10:07.:10:10.

election - says he's been "weak" during the party's controversial

:10:11.:10:14.

selection process ahead of the upcoming Assembly election.

:10:15.:10:16.

Many in the party are also unhappy that the former Conservative MPs

:10:17.:10:19.

Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless are seeking seats.

:10:20.:10:27.

I want Nathan Gill to resign as leader in Wales because of

:10:28.:10:30.

the mess that we are in at the moment.

:10:31.:10:32.

He has shown no leadership whatsoever.

:10:33.:10:34.

He should have not allowed the situation to get as it is now.

:10:35.:10:37.

He never listened to the members, activists and candidates in Wales,

:10:38.:10:39.

Our political reporter Paul Martin is here.

:10:40.:10:43.

It all centres on just how sought after the most winnable seats for

:10:44.:10:56.

UKIP at the Assembly election are. There was fury amongst Welsh actress

:10:57.:11:00.

last summer when it was decided that an Executive committee in London

:11:01.:11:03.

would have the final say on selections. Nathan Gill announced

:11:04.:11:07.

earlier this week that after old local members here will now get a

:11:08.:11:11.

vote on ranking those selections but it hasn't satisfied everyone. There

:11:12.:11:15.

are four now on the record all going for him to go over how he has

:11:16.:11:19.

handled this and others are saying so privately. There is still support

:11:20.:11:24.

for Mr Gill in the party. I spoke to one long-standing member is

:11:25.:11:27.

happening and he said this. Nathan has not been week. Absolutely not.

:11:28.:11:35.

Nathan will be leading this party, I can after you, into the Assembly

:11:36.:11:39.

elections and he will be a very effective leader. So where does all

:11:40.:11:44.

this leave the party? There are two immediate problems. Firstly getting

:11:45.:11:48.

the members united behind Nathan Gill. Clearly at this age of the

:11:49.:11:52.

electoral cycle this kind of position is not helpful. From an

:11:53.:11:56.

organisational perspective is not as a thing. Secondly, getting these

:11:57.:12:00.

selections finally sorted so the party can appoint sportspeople in

:12:01.:12:04.

areas like health, education and inequality and get focused on

:12:05.:12:08.

finalising the men's first to and focusing on the campaign. There is a

:12:09.:12:11.

meeting of the Welsh committee this Saturday. I think it is going to be

:12:12.:12:15.

very lively. We will hear more of that I am sure. Paul, thank you very

:12:16.:12:17.

much. 150 jobs are under threat near Risca

:12:18.:12:24.

after an American-based company confirmed its factory

:12:25.:12:27.

there will close next year. Penny Giles in Cwmfelinfach makes

:12:28.:12:29.

sensors and control equipment. Business as usual, at this

:12:30.:12:31.

industrial estate here, workers, tightlipped,

:12:32.:12:46.

but disappointed. Penny Giles was taken over

:12:47.:12:47.

by the American group The company makes everything

:12:48.:12:50.

from joysticks and censors to parts for control desks, it's equipment

:12:51.:13:02.

used in a variety of industries Most of the sites are in America

:13:03.:13:05.

but 1 is here in Wales. The workforce here have been told

:13:06.:13:09.

to divert any questions about the future of this factory

:13:10.:13:11.

to the company's headquarters From there a spokesman

:13:12.:13:16.

told BBC Wales that this site will close

:13:17.:13:24.

at some point next year. We asked about the possibility

:13:25.:13:26.

of people transferring to other parts of the business,

:13:27.:13:28.

a spokesman said he couldn't provide The company blames economic

:13:29.:13:31.

conditions for this disappointing news, 9000 employees globally,

:13:32.:13:37.

it seems few of that total will come Use it or lose it -

:13:38.:13:40.

the message from Tenby Museum And Wales' women prepare

:13:41.:13:49.

for their Six Nations opener against the reigning

:13:50.:13:55.

champions Ireland. How much sugar is there

:13:56.:14:03.

in a can of pop? A Welsh MP thinks we should be told

:14:04.:14:06.

- and he's trying to change the law to force food and drinks companies

:14:07.:14:11.

to reveal how many spoonfuls Here's our parliamentary

:14:12.:14:14.

correspondent David Cornock. Obesity, it's a growing problem. One

:14:15.:14:30.

in four Welsh children now overweight or obese risking their

:14:31.:14:34.

health and an expensive bill for the NHS. One Welsh MP dings this may be

:14:35.:14:39.

because they and their parents don't realise how much they eat. They

:14:40.:14:44.

don't know there is nine spoonfuls in a can of fizzy drink and seven in

:14:45.:14:49.

this yoghurt, which is more than a man and a woman are supposed to it.

:14:50.:14:53.

People have the right to know what they are eating and they are

:14:54.:14:56.

becoming ill and the graphics and deceit is going down. The cost of

:14:57.:15:01.

obesity and diabetes is costing the nation billions. So is he right?

:15:02.:15:05.

Would better labelling make a difference, we as some of the

:15:06.:15:08.

constituents. Definitely should have been done a long time ago. I aways

:15:09.:15:12.

check even if I buy some but something for the grandchildren. It

:15:13.:15:17.

would make me think twice if it was a lot and if it said, it is beans

:15:18.:15:22.

but if it was just a few, then it probably would get it. The proposed

:15:23.:15:27.

law would force manufacturers to state how many teaspoons of sugar

:15:28.:15:30.

the put in food ordering. The industry is not keen. I think it is

:15:31.:15:33.

a really bad idea. For a number of reasons. Firstly obesity is caused

:15:34.:15:40.

by excess calories, those could come from alcohol, saturated fat, five,

:15:41.:15:45.

protein. Or they could come from sugar. So why would you single out

:15:46.:15:50.

one particular nutrient? Better labelling is one idea. Plaid Cymru

:15:51.:15:58.

say they've would also put a tax on sugary drinks and spend the cash

:15:59.:16:03.

raised on the NHS. If more people are aware of the health impacts on

:16:04.:16:09.

what was perceived to be healthy, if they believe it is going towards

:16:10.:16:14.

something like more doctors and not into the general public purse. That

:16:15.:16:18.

is also winning growing support at Westminster. The bill stands no

:16:19.:16:23.

chance of becoming law due to lack of parliamentary time, but he does

:16:24.:16:26.

hope it may yet become government policy.

:16:27.:16:30.

Councillors in Carmarthenshire have rejected a proposal to build

:16:31.:16:32.

a new waste processing and energy generation plant at Cwmgwili

:16:33.:16:34.

Clean Power Properties wanted to turn people's rubbish

:16:35.:16:38.

But planners recommended the proposal be refused,

:16:39.:16:43.

saying emissions from the plant could impact the health of people

:16:44.:16:45.

Merthyr Tydfil Council has apologised to a driver

:16:46.:16:53.

who was issued a parking ticket after breaking down

:16:54.:16:55.

The authority says its traffic warden should have offered

:16:56.:17:00.

the motorist help rather than issuing the fine.

:17:01.:17:03.

The latest audience figures show both of BBC Wales' radio stations

:17:04.:17:06.

have recorded increases in listeners.

:17:07.:17:09.

409,000 weekly listeners tuned in to Radio Wales during the last

:17:10.:17:15.

three months of 2015 - an increase of 25,000 compared

:17:16.:17:18.

Radio Cymru had 108,000 listeners - an increase of 4000 listeners

:17:19.:17:24.

Tomos is here now with all the sport.

:17:25.:17:32.

Wales' women's rugby team are preparing for their opening game

:17:33.:17:35.

of the Six Nations against reigning champions Ireland on Saturday.

:17:36.:17:38.

Centre Gemma Rowland says the team's in a better position than last year

:17:39.:17:41.

The 26-year-old army captain made it into the side having served

:17:42.:17:45.

Gemma Rowland has set her heart and helping her side succeed this year

:17:46.:18:02.

and when the British Army officer takes aim she rarely misses the

:18:03.:18:06.

target. On her debut last year, Wales beat champions England for

:18:07.:18:10.

only the second time in the history. She picked up the title of Army

:18:11.:18:16.

sportswoman of the year. It's a far cry from when she spent the 2013 six

:18:17.:18:23.

Nations. Back then she was a trip commander in Afghanistan, in charge

:18:24.:18:26.

of 30 men, working in the surveillance, watching over patrols

:18:27.:18:31.

and lookout for potential danger. Despite 18 hour days she told me she

:18:32.:18:36.

still managed to find the time to train. Eager to continue playing

:18:37.:18:42.

rugby on her return home. It's an experience I wouldn't trade for

:18:43.:18:45.

anything because I learn a lot from myself and I'd grew as a person.

:18:46.:18:49.

Being able to handle pressure, worked as a team leader, lead a

:18:50.:18:56.

team, it all transfers to a rugby pitch. Probably hand in hand but

:18:57.:19:01.

helpfully. Her team faces Ireland on Saturday. Both sides met last week

:19:02.:19:06.

in a warm up match. Wales finished on top, 15-5. While the current

:19:07.:19:11.

squad is preparing for the immediate task of facing Ireland, work to find

:19:12.:19:14.

the next generation of players is already underway. Summer leagues and

:19:15.:19:18.

more girls only teams have helped the growth of the game. A couple of

:19:19.:19:26.

seasons ago just 179 to 15-year-olds were playing at special hobs set up

:19:27.:19:31.

across the country. But that figure was up to more than 1300. Those

:19:32.:19:36.

running the game here say a successful senior side will also

:19:37.:19:39.

help raise the profile of this board. Performances have helped. We

:19:40.:19:43.

had a good crowd last week against Ireland. Over 1000 I believe were

:19:44.:19:46.

there to watch a good standard of rugby. It will draw in the crowds

:19:47.:19:53.

moving forward. This year's six Nations is more important than

:19:54.:19:57.

usual. Results will help decide who qualifies for the World Cup. Two

:19:58.:20:01.

wins in the championship will guarantee Wales a place at the

:20:02.:20:05.

tournament next year. We wish them well.

:20:06.:20:06.

To the men's game, and after selecting Tom James

:20:07.:20:08.

to start on the wing against Ireland this weekend,

:20:09.:20:10.

Wales coach Warren Gatland says Hallam Amos isn't quick enough to be

:20:11.:20:13.

Amos is being released back to the Dragons for tomorrow's game

:20:14.:20:17.

at Ulster and Gatland says he sees him more as a fullback

:20:18.:20:20.

I know he can cover on the wing and does play there,

:20:21.:20:24.

but we do see his long-term position being full-back

:20:25.:20:31.

and gave him the opportunity to exploit and work on improving

:20:32.:20:34.

He is quick but he wouldn't be an international winger.

:20:35.:20:44.

Swansea City's new striker Alberto Palosgi is expected

:20:45.:20:47.

to start his first game for the club against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

:20:48.:20:51.

The Italian, who cost ?8 million, came on from the bench in Tuesday's

:20:52.:20:54.

draw against West Brom and nearly scored on his debut.

:20:55.:20:57.

Manager Francesco Guidolin says he was impressed by his performance.

:20:58.:21:05.

Alberto played well against West Brom.

:21:06.:21:13.

Normally I decide the last day before the match,

:21:14.:21:19.

but I think Alberto is ready for a game.

:21:20.:21:23.

Tenby on the Pembrokeshire coast attracts plenty of visitors every

:21:24.:21:26.

year but one of its oldest attractions has a blunt message -

:21:27.:21:29.

come and visit us or we will be forced to close.

:21:30.:21:32.

Wales' oldest independent museum opened in the town in 1878,

:21:33.:21:38.

but following cuts to its funding it could be forced to shut its doors

:21:39.:21:41.

Perched high above the sea, Tenby's Museum reigns over the history and

:21:42.:21:57.

heritage of this town. Tenby Museum has got great collections. The

:21:58.:22:02.

wonderful Augustus Gwen John collection which are really

:22:03.:22:06.

unparalleled in the county. Those famous Welsh names helped draw in

:22:07.:22:10.

17,000 visitors a year. But it is also a line on local authority

:22:11.:22:16.

funding. That is drying up. It costs about 100,000 a year. We are going

:22:17.:22:20.

to suffer a cut in funding of 10,000 from next year which is a big lump,

:22:21.:22:26.

about 10%, of our overall income year-on-year. Councils don't have to

:22:27.:22:30.

fund their local museums but most do. There are around 120 in Wales.

:22:31.:22:36.

76 are run will receive some help from their local authority. With

:22:37.:22:41.

councils across Wales spending ?9.3 million financing them. A Welsh

:22:42.:22:45.

Government review into this sector found many were in a state of real

:22:46.:22:50.

decline. To survive, there needs to be real reform. These challenges are

:22:51.:22:55.

not going to throw people off their game. Museums will find new

:22:56.:22:58.

collaborations, partnerships and a new way of working to still deliver

:22:59.:23:02.

services in a really positive way. To the benefit of communities. Tenby

:23:03.:23:08.

has cut staffing costs but is now making a direct appeal to the

:23:09.:23:13.

community. Use it or lose it. If everybody who lives in Tenby bought

:23:14.:23:18.

a ticket and came up here and that ticket is valid for a whole 12

:23:19.:23:21.

months. They can come back as often as they like and bring children into

:23:22.:23:25.

for nothing, that would be such a big help. Pembrokeshire Council says

:23:26.:23:30.

they least the building to the museum to peppercorn rent and they

:23:31.:23:34.

cannot comment yet on what the next budget will bring.

:23:35.:23:37.

Well, let's see how the weather is looking over the next few days.

:23:38.:23:40.

After a couple of colder and brighter days we are back into mild

:23:41.:23:51.

and unsettled weather. Turning wet and windy tomorrow. This evening

:23:52.:23:55.

rain will continue on and off. Cloudy, Misty and murky. Spells of

:23:56.:24:00.

drizzle especially in the hills. Dry by Don but strengthening winds. It

:24:01.:24:06.

or 10 Celsius. Tomorrow starts tribe but this cold front pushing

:24:07.:24:11.

south-east across Wales later on and through the night. Tomorrow will be

:24:12.:24:14.

mostly cloudy. Some really bright spells and patchy drizzle. That

:24:15.:24:19.

heavier rain will arrive from the north-west through the afternoon

:24:20.:24:24.

slowly spreading south-east. Strong winds in the West, Gail possible

:24:25.:24:30.

along the coast. Top temperatures of nine on Anglesey and 11th in

:24:31.:24:34.

Newport. That cold fund will continue to bring a spell of heavy

:24:35.:24:36.

rain clearing through the early hours of Saturday but further rain

:24:37.:24:42.

arriving from the west by Don. Temperatures more like 4- yet

:24:43.:24:48.

Celsius, cold behind that front. On Saturday further wind and rain from

:24:49.:24:52.

this area of low pressure as these from Spanish in from the Atlantic.

:24:53.:24:56.

The exact track of these is uncertain but it brings some very

:24:57.:25:02.

unsettled weather. Some dry spells further east on Saturday but it

:25:03.:25:05.

deteriorates through the day turning wet and windy. A Met Office warning

:25:06.:25:12.

for heavier rain later on Saturday. The risk of gales. These are the

:25:13.:25:17.

mean wind speeds. 29 or 30 mph but we could see ghosts of 50, 60 or

:25:18.:25:22.

even 70 along the exposed coasts. Low pressure systems with this

:25:23.:25:28.

unsettled Atlantic influence will make it changeable on Sunday.

:25:29.:25:32.

Remaining windy. There could be a mix of sunny spells and blustery

:25:33.:25:36.

showers on Sunday morning which could be wintry on high ground. More

:25:37.:25:40.

rain is likely by Sunday night. Stronger winds again. And unsettled

:25:41.:25:46.

weekend ahead. Very windy with some heavy rain at times, particularly on

:25:47.:25:51.

Saturday. It could be potentially very windy on Monday stop quite

:25:52.:25:56.

stormy conditions. Today's picture is from Mike Davis, a rainbow over

:25:57.:26:01.

the Vale of Neath and we could see a few of these of the next few days.

:26:02.:26:05.

the next few days. Lucy. A reminder of our main stories. World leaders

:26:45.:26:49.

have spent nearly ?7 billion to help refugees displaced by the Syrian

:26:50.:26:53.

conflict. David Cameron announced the funding at an international

:26:54.:26:57.

conference but it was overshadowed by the extension of peace talks and

:26:58.:26:59.

intense fighting on the ground. And Welsh ministers could get

:27:00.:27:00.

their pay cut by 10% if the Conservatives win

:27:01.:27:03.

the Assembly election in May. Their leader, Andrew RT Davies,

:27:04.:27:05.

says the money saved would go towards getting young people

:27:06.:27:08.

involved in politics. We'll have a quick update at 8pm,

:27:09.:27:09.

more after the BBC News at Ten. We are being honest. We are being up

:27:10.:27:23.

front. We are saying what we would do. If anyone would like to serve on

:27:24.:27:26.

a Welsh Conservative Cabinet they would have to take a 10% pay cut,

:27:27.:27:31.

plain and simple. No ifs, no buts, that is the measure. We will have a

:27:32.:27:36.

quick update for you at 8pm and more after the BBC News at ten but that

:27:37.:27:41.

is it for now. Thank you. Good evening and I will see you a bit

:27:42.:27:43.

later,
