That's all for now. The next news on BBC One is

Wales Coach, Warren Gatland, says this afternoon's draw

with Ireland was a fair, but frustrating result.

Wales found themselves 13 points behind, but despite a fightback,

they were unable to secure a win in Dublin, in the Six Nations opener.

No scenes of celebration. Wales have not lost. Their dreams of post-World

Cup grand slams are over leading to mixed emotions in the Wales camp. It

is good to come to Ireland and not lose and I guess we have got three

home games in our next four matches but it was not what we wanted

really. It takes away a lot. Takes away the Grand Slam, the triple

Crown, from that point of view it is a little bit disappointing. Wales

had a fight on their hands early on. There was a major setback, Dan

Biggar the fly-half limped off. It did not look good as Ireland took

control of a frantic start. Conor Murray was able to squeeze through

from two yards out. The Irish were 13 points ahead but the visitors in

red cord their way back. The Williams came close. Thrown into the

team at a late stage as someone else pulled up with the tight hand

strength. Today, becoming his countries most capped number eight.

At 1310 the second period was a nervous fear. Jamie Roberts, a

colossus and defence was king. The Irish Lion was on passable as Wales

went through the phases. It came down to a battle of the kickers and

that the final whistle both teams were on 16 points. We looked flighty

out the and once we got a battle that behind us we got back in the

game and we showed a lot of positives. Our scrum was excellent

today which was a bonus, something we have been working very hard on

that yet, all teams will be frustrated coming away with a drop.

The bodies will be sought tomorrow, a win has slipped away but will

still have three home games do, and the championship is still on.

The rest of the days news now, and the Welsh Liberal Democrats say

they would build 24,000 affordable homes

if they're in power after May's assembly election.

At their spring conference in Cardiff, members also voted

to remove parents' rights to take their children out

Our political correspondent, Daniel Davies reports.

We have been innundated now with speakers cards,

captures the imagination of Lib Dems.

Today, party members voted to remove parents' right to take

their children out of sex education lessons.

Hoping to capture the imagination of people outside the conference

hall, the Lib Dems say they'd double the budget for affordable homes,

partly paid for by scrapping the M4 relief road.

At the conference, you could check your blood pressure.

The pressure the Lib Dems should be worrying about is the pressure

on their five seats in the Assembley.

As if May's elections weren't difficult enough,

here's something else to send their stress levels soaring,

UKIP are a big threat and I don't know about pretending

I don't know about pretending otherwise.

For many people when they come to full on that second regional

list ballot the choice is going to be between Ukip

and having a Liberal Democrat assembly member.

If you don't get Liberal Democrats you're

going to get Ukip so I think people need to think very

Carefully how the vote in that ballot. How will getting people on

the housing ladder help you win votes? There are many people on the

housing list for social housing in Wales. Building was a theme of this

conference, building houses and rebuilding trust with voters in time

for maize assembly election. A UKIP councillor who accused

the party of "cronyism" of potential Assembly

election candidates. Kevin Mahoney has been disciplined

after he said he would resign if former Conservative MPs

Neil Hamilton and Mark Reckless After months of argument,

UKIP has now decided that the party's members in Wales

will get a vote on a shortlist Mosques across Wales are taking part

in an open day in an attempt The Al Manar in Cardiff is one of 80

mosques in the UK to show visitors Islamic exhibits,

they're part of the wider community. I think it's just very important for

people to know that we Muslims from Cardiff and in Wales are very much

Welsh are also we have a religion that we practice and it's important

for them to come to have a look at how we worship and what sort of

things we do in the community for the benefit the wider community.
