:00:09. > :00:27.He says he has given it a lot of thought. Now to make the man who
:00:28. > :00:28.would be the Welsh Conservative First Minister says he has decided
:00:29. > :00:30.to vote to leave. Llangollen welcomes musicians

:00:33. > :00:35.of remaining or leaving the EU? All I know about the no campaign

:01:23. > :01:29.is back in training. The leader of the Welsh
:01:30. > :01:33.Conservatives Andrew RT Davies has tonight become the highest profile
:01:34. > :01:36.politician from Wales to back the campaign for Britain
:01:37. > :01:38.to leave the European Union in the forthcoming
:01:39. > :01:42.referendum in June. Earlier, the Welsh Secretary,
:01:43. > :01:44.Stephen Crabb, described a vote In a moment, we'll be getting
:01:45. > :01:48.the view from Westminster. First to our political
:01:49. > :02:06.correspondent Daniel Davies What are his reasons for wanting to
:02:07. > :02:11.the? We asked his office this morning how he would be voting in a
:02:12. > :02:16.referendum. I think a lot of people expected he would be voting to stay
:02:17. > :02:20.in, the same as David Cameron. He kept us waiting, perhaps a little
:02:21. > :02:26.bit like Boris Johnson, and then this evening, he said he would be
:02:27. > :02:29.voting when the time comes in June for Britain to leave the European
:02:30. > :02:33.Union. He has leased a statement saying after a great year of
:02:34. > :02:36.thought, I have decided I will be voting for Britain to leave the
:02:37. > :02:41.European Union. It is my belief that our future will be best served as
:02:42. > :02:44.part of a looser economic relationship with the European
:02:45. > :02:48.Union. That is despite David Cameron saying he would vote to stay in.
:02:49. > :02:49.Welsh Secretary Stephen Dasher Stephen Crabb saying he would vote
:02:50. > :03:11.to stay in. Andrew RT Davies clearly thinks the
:03:12. > :03:16.opposite is true and he will be voting to leave the European Union.
:03:17. > :03:22.So a split in the Tory party on Europe just as the party is gearing
:03:23. > :03:27.up for an assembly election. Yes, and their opponents tonight have
:03:28. > :03:29.pounced on that. Plaid Cymru, Liberal Democrats and Labour
:03:30. > :03:34.highlighting this difference of opinion in the Tory party. No secret
:03:35. > :03:38.that there are differing views on Britain's membership of the European
:03:39. > :03:43.Union within the Conservative Party but coming as it does in the run-up
:03:44. > :03:46.to the assembly election in May, you can expect their opponents to try
:03:47. > :03:54.and make a yard of that. The Tories themselves would much rather
:03:55. > :03:58.concentrate on that election in May. Mr Davies says that election will be
:03:59. > :04:01.the dip -- biggest assembly election since the assembly was founded in
:04:02. > :04:06.1999 and it is an opportunity to kick Labour out. We have not had an
:04:07. > :04:11.opportunity to speak to him tonight but I have spoken to notorious and
:04:12. > :04:15.remember who will be voting to leave the European Union, Mark Isherwood,
:04:16. > :04:18.and I asked him what he made of those arguments that people said the
:04:19. > :04:23.European Union has been good for Welsh farmers and the Welsh economy.
:04:24. > :04:26.There is a lot of scaremongering going along. There is a lot of smear
:04:27. > :04:31.and sneer from some of the comments being made but it is vital that
:04:32. > :04:34.whatever people's views are and whatever views they form, they are
:04:35. > :04:37.based on facts rather than scaremongering. That is a simply
:04:38. > :04:43.stick argument. I have heard it too often. I do not leave it will be the
:04:44. > :04:50.case if the people decide to come out of Europe. There we have it, the
:04:51. > :04:56.view of one Tory semi-member. Most SME members here do not agree with
:04:57. > :04:59.him. All the party leaders bar one would like to stay within the SME
:05:00. > :05:02.members -- European Union. Well among Welsh Conservative MPs
:05:03. > :05:06.in Westminster similar While the Prime Minister David
:05:07. > :05:09.Cameron was making his case to remain in the EU to the House
:05:10. > :05:13.of Commons some of his backbenchers have explaining why they won't be
:05:14. > :05:15.backing their leader. Here's our Parliamentary
:05:16. > :05:27.Correspondent, David Cornock. This could be the biggest political
:05:28. > :05:33.decision of our lifetime and the world wants to know. This patch of
:05:34. > :05:38.grass opposite the Houses of Parliament has become a temporary
:05:39. > :05:42.home to a media circus with reporters and TV crews from across
:05:43. > :05:47.the probe trying to find out how Britain's politicians see this
:05:48. > :05:55.country future. The dividing lines are becoming clearer. All 25 Welsh
:05:56. > :05:59.Labour MPs back to remain calm. The European Union over 43 years has
:06:00. > :06:05.delivered fantastic benefits for the British and the Welsh economy, a
:06:06. > :06:08.great amount of regional funding has come into Wales. Hundreds of
:06:09. > :06:14.thousands of jobs rely on it but I'll is it is very important from
:06:15. > :06:16.the point of view of security. This referendum will see the Liberal
:06:17. > :06:22.Democrats and Plaid Cymru on the same side as the Prime Minister.
:06:23. > :06:25.Were we to leave, what would happen to measures such as convergence
:06:26. > :06:28.funding which has provided large amounts of money for the poorer
:06:29. > :06:33.areas in West Wales and the valleys quest in Mark I think the short
:06:34. > :06:37.answer is if we were to leave the European Union, we would not be able
:06:38. > :06:42.to get those funds which have made a big difference in parts of Wales.
:06:43. > :06:47.But David Cameron faces a bigot challenge persuading his own MPs. I
:06:48. > :06:55.will be voting to leave in June because I feel that Britain needs to
:06:56. > :06:59.take back control of its borders and it needs to regain powers that we
:07:00. > :07:02.have over time given away to Brussels and that was the strong
:07:03. > :07:05.view that I was getting when I campaigned in the run-up to the
:07:06. > :07:11.general election. The issue has split the 11 Welsh Conservative MPs.
:07:12. > :07:16.He is the forth publicly to back the leave campaign but six now say they
:07:17. > :07:20.want to stay in, including the Wales Office minister Alun Cairns and his
:07:21. > :07:29.boss. It was a difficult decision. There is no perfect easy and serve.
:07:30. > :07:32.But for me what clinched the argument is with the package that
:07:33. > :07:35.the Prime Minister has secured last week there is at least now clarity
:07:36. > :07:40.about what kind of reform membership we have got the European Union. Not
:07:41. > :07:44.everyone it is fair to say is fighting at a difficult decision. We
:07:45. > :07:48.must do what is best for the British people and the people here in Wales
:07:49. > :07:54.and I believe passionately and strongly that we remaining a part of
:07:55. > :07:59.this failing superstate is not in our nation 's best interest.
:08:00. > :08:02.Politicians are taking the lead in framing the arguments but on
:08:03. > :08:06.referendum day in June, your vote will be just as important as theirs.
:08:07. > :08:09.So that's the view from Westminster, but what about those of us who'll be
:08:10. > :08:13.We've been to Llangollen to see whether people there have made
:08:14. > :08:21.Once a year, Llangollen is transformed into a cultural
:08:22. > :08:23.European Union, as competitors from this continent and beyond take
:08:24. > :08:25.part in the International Musical Eisteddfod.

:08:28. > :08:34.Llangollen is a town regularly extends a hand of friendship
:08:35. > :08:41.So does that colour the way its inhabitants would vote
:08:42. > :08:48.Have they made their minds or are they still very much confused
:08:49. > :08:53.There are many ways in which the EU affects our daily lives.
:08:54. > :08:55.Here are just a few voters will have to consider.
:08:56. > :08:57.Stephen Johnson's family has run a dairy and sheep farm
:08:58. > :09:01.He says he's been helped by EU subsidies in leaner times,
:09:02. > :09:04.but even he's not sure if either the leave or remain camp has
:09:05. > :09:08.We don't know really what we are voting for.
:09:09. > :09:13.In some ways, it is easier to vote yes because we know really
:09:14. > :09:16.what is going to happen in Europe, we will probably stay similar
:09:17. > :09:19.Voting no, it is going into the unknown really.
:09:20. > :09:21.This European Language centre in the middle of Llangollen teaches
:09:22. > :09:24.English and offers work placements to people from all over the EU.
:09:25. > :09:27.It's one of hundreds of organisations in Wales which rely
:09:28. > :09:29.on European funding to operate, though it's argued that that money
:09:30. > :09:31.would be replaced by the UK Government.
:09:32. > :09:34.I don't think there is enough public information about it
:09:35. > :09:38.what the European Union fund in Wales and I think
:09:39. > :09:41.if there was more propaganda about it then there would be
:09:42. > :09:55.a better understanding of how much money is actually invested in Wales.
:09:56. > :09:58.The way Europe funds farming and a range of other areas can be
:09:59. > :10:01.confusing but when it comes to who decides how our own money
:10:02. > :10:03.is spent the issues seem more clear cut.
:10:04. > :10:06.For me, it is better that Britain come out from the European Union
:10:07. > :10:09.because Britain has paid a lot of money to the European Union
:10:10. > :10:15.but I don't think it gets that much help from the European Union.
:10:16. > :10:17.I would be worried about defence if we leave.
:10:18. > :10:22.I don't know why people think we can manage on our own.
:10:23. > :10:25.I think we are harking back to a past that does
:10:26. > :10:32.We have not got any industries our own any more.
:10:33. > :10:36.The next four months will be crucial for both sides of the debate
:10:37. > :10:37.to explain their positions to the undecided.
:10:38. > :10:39.But for others, who've already made a decision,
:10:40. > :10:52.Hospitals around Wales have tonight said they are experiencing very high
:10:53. > :10:54.demand and are urging people only to visit emergency
:10:55. > :10:57.Health officials say they are extremely busy,
:10:58. > :11:00.and some say patients are having to wait a long time before
:11:01. > :11:14.Are we doing enough to improve our children's reading?
:11:15. > :11:17.One campaign group fears 26,000 children in Wales are at risk

:11:51. > :11:56.Reading is fun. It is important to read because you can learn different
:11:57. > :12:04.things that you do not even know. Because you can learn things

:12:20. > :12:23.concerned 26,000 children in Wales are at risk of leaving primary
:12:24. > :12:26.school unable to read properly. The campaign group says children who
:12:27. > :12:29.read well by the age of 11 are more likely to do better at school,
:12:30. > :12:32.achieve more in exams and fare better in the workplace and is
:12:33. > :12:37.calling for more to be done to ensure that all children in Wales
:12:38. > :12:42.start secondary school as confident readers. It is not just saying the
:12:43. > :12:46.government needs to do this but we do in -- in four party leaders to
:12:47. > :12:52.show they care about this and put this into their manifestos. We would
:12:53. > :12:58.like the public to be behind that. And to build a sort of constituency
:12:59. > :13:02.to say yes, this is a scandal and we all need to do something about it.

:13:32. > :13:37.homework tasks involve reading. We try to generate as much interest as
:13:38. > :13:40.possible. For this young bunch, it is about getting through a paid at a

:14:15. > :14:26.council here with large numbers of holiday homes is considering
:14:27. > :14:28.bringing in a special levy. A new act will allow up to a maximum
:14:29. > :14:32.of double the council tax to be charged on second homes to try
:14:33. > :14:35.and ease the problem of access But as Abigail Neal discovered
:14:36. > :14:38.in Pembrokeshire, there are fears it As one of Pembrokeshire's
:14:39. > :14:47.prettiest seaside towns, no surprise Tenby is a popular
:14:48. > :14:49.choice for holiday homes, With home ownership increasingly out
:14:50. > :14:54.of reach for those who live and work here, the council wants
:14:55. > :14:56.to redress the balance. Matthew Bryant's family bought this
:14:57. > :14:58.holiday home for their own private use 20 years ago but under
:14:59. > :15:01.new plans, they could be charged We are contributing the same
:15:02. > :15:11.as everybody else who owns a house If you are going to start doubling
:15:12. > :15:21.it, well, you have got to say, you are using address,
:15:22. > :15:24.we already contributing 100%, why are you trying to tax people
:15:25. > :15:30.who are investing in this area? A new act coming in this April
:15:31. > :15:33.allows authorities to charge up to an additional 100% council tax
:15:34. > :15:36.on both second and empty homes. Figures seen by Wales Today show
:15:37. > :15:39.there are more than 16,000 second homes across the country,
:15:40. > :15:42.with a slightly less number Most second homes are in coastal
:15:43. > :15:45.areas with Gwynedd, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey and Ceredigion having
:15:46. > :15:47.the highest numbers. Gwynedd have said they are not sure
:15:48. > :15:50.about this tax yet and want to wait to assess the impact,
:15:51. > :15:53.so we asked the people of Pwllheli I would say it would probably put
:15:54. > :15:57.people off because they would not come if they had to pay
:15:58. > :16:09.twice what we pay. If they can afford to homes,
:16:10. > :16:19.they can afford double the price. They have got beautiful hotels
:16:20. > :16:26.and bed-and-breakfast. Just because they do not
:16:27. > :16:30.have a house which is only used two weeks of the year, I do not think
:16:31. > :16:33.that would stop anyone coming. Pembrokeshire Council say
:16:34. > :16:35.they are not looking to damage the tourism industry
:16:36. > :16:37.here because any second home which is officially let as a holiday
:16:38. > :16:40.cottage would be exempt from this tax and at the moment,
:16:41. > :16:43.that is roughly a third of them. With second home buyers also facing
:16:44. > :16:46.a steep price in stamp duty this spring, some fear any extra tax
:16:47. > :16:48.will deter investors. But with around 300 holiday
:16:49. > :16:50.properties on their books, this agency thinks it
:16:51. > :16:52.could actually increase numbers, as people try and avoid the charge
:16:53. > :16:55.by turning their holiday home We have the rise of websites
:16:56. > :16:59.like booking.com and they are taking a certain percentage of the business
:17:00. > :17:02.away from us. What it might do is encourage people
:17:03. > :17:06.to come to someone like us who can manage the property for them
:17:07. > :17:08.and make them legitimise If that happens, it may
:17:09. > :17:15.have the reverse effect for the Council, raising less,

:22:39. > :22:41.by the likes of David Lloyd George, the Welsh Prime Minister
:22:42. > :22:45.at the time, and now the hunt is on try and find some of the trees

:22:47. > :22:50.Well, newspaper articles from the time suggests some good

:23:36. > :23:38.This the last of its kind in Wentwood Forest on the outskirts
:23:39. > :23:51.It is somewhere you can actually go and actually feel a piece
:23:52. > :23:54.You can sit underneath the tree that was a seed during
:23:55. > :23:57.the First World War and it will be there for your children
:23:58. > :24:03.So they are an important part of the timeline for us.
:24:04. > :24:06.In the absence of so many of the fallen, trees like this have
:24:07. > :24:21.Time now for the weather forecast. Some good news. I think we have seen
:24:22. > :24:27.the last of the wind and rain for a while. The next two days drier and
:24:28. > :24:31.colder. Some wintry showers but sunshine and frost as well. Blue sky
:24:32. > :24:36.in Penrhyn Bay today and the sunglasses will come in handy
:24:37. > :24:40.tomorrow as well. This evening, most of the country dry but showers will
:24:41. > :24:50.spread south overnight. Heavy in places. Colder than recent nights.
:24:51. > :24:54.Temperatures inland falling close to freezing with a frost. For mid and
:24:55. > :24:59.North Wales, a warning of icy patches. Tomorrow's chart shows
:25:00. > :25:06.high-pressure near Iceland. A cold front lying through France and
:25:07. > :25:12.Germany. Here is the picture for 8am. Some cloud likely in the south
:25:13. > :25:17.and west. Showers in places but these will soon clear away.
:25:18. > :25:23.Elsewhere, looking dry clear and bright. Some sunshine in mid and
:25:24. > :25:27.North Wales with frost inland. A chill in the air tomorrow but it
:25:28. > :25:32.will turn into a nice day. Sunnier than today with a few clouds in the
:25:33. > :25:40.afternoon. Temperatures on the chilly side. But in the sunshine, it
:25:41. > :25:43.will feel pleasant. In Conwy tomorrow, fresh and dry. Lots of
:25:44. > :25:54.sunshine. Top temperature six Celsius. Eight Celsius in Briton
:25:55. > :25:56.Ferry. Tomorrow night will continue dry and with the clear sky, there
:25:57. > :26:05.will be a widespread and sharper frost. Minus five Celsius in mid
:26:06. > :26:09.Wales. Wednesday, a frosty start. Most places dry with sunshine but
:26:10. > :26:15.showers in places. Most of the showers in the north and west.
:26:16. > :26:21.Thursday, one or two light showers around. The best of the sunshine in
:26:22. > :26:26.the south-east. Friday, more uncertain. There is a risk of some
:26:27. > :26:33.rain, especially in the south and west. The weekend cold with
:26:34. > :26:37.north-easterly winds. The leader of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT
:26:38. > :26:42.Davies, has now become the highest profile politician from Wales to
:26:43. > :26:45.back the campaign for Britain to leave the European Union. Earlier
:26:46. > :26:50.the Welsh Secretary Stephen Crabb described the vote to leave as a
:26:51. > :26:55.leap into the dark. Let's get a final word with our political
:26:56. > :26:59.correspondent, Daniel Davies. The leading politicians in Wales from
:27:00. > :27:05.the Conservatives are on separate sides of the argument. Yes, it is no
:27:06. > :27:08.secret that there are differences of opinion within the Conservative
:27:09. > :27:13.Party about Europe. Some may say that is the reason why David Cameron
:27:14. > :27:17.wanted a referendum in the first places -- first place. The big fear
:27:18. > :27:21.of politicians in the building behind me was this, if the
:27:22. > :27:24.referendum was to happen in June, it would overshadow the assembly
:27:25. > :27:30.elections in May. If you are going to be talking about your politics
:27:31. > :27:33.with your friends and work, are you going to be talking about the
:27:34. > :27:36.semi-election or are you going to be talking about this huge question
:27:37. > :27:41.about Britain's future? Their fear was the latter would win out and the
:27:42. > :27:45.assembly would not get a look in. The date has been set and once the
:27:46. > :27:51.date is set, one Tory semi-member told me today, people will want to
:27:52. > :27:54.know how you are going to vote and today Andrew RT Davies has answered
:27:55. > :27:59.that question. He will vote to leave. Thank you very much.
:28:00. > :28:03.I'll have an update for you here at 8pm and again after the BBC
