Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories? | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
Welsh Tory leader Andrew RT Davies says | :00:09. | :00:09. | |
David Cameron's EU deal was not "robust" enough for him to vote | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
And 600 pupils, parents and teachers protest against plans | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Good evening. The leader of the Welsh | :00:18. | :00:41. | |
Conservatives says David Cameron's deal was not "robust" enough | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
to convince him to vote to remain in the European Union. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Andrew RT Davies has been setting out his reasons for his decision | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
to vote to leave the EU at the referendum on June 23. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
But he says his first priority is trying to win the Assembly | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Our Political Correspondent Daniel Davies has the story. | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
The most important election in a generation, he says. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
But this morning's questions were all about another vote. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Politicians around here, including Andrew RT Davies, | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
would rather the EU referendum was happening later | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
The Assembly election would be overshadowed | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
At that election, the Tories hope to kick Labour out of office | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
and occupy the corridors of power in the Welsh government | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
Between now and the Assembly election, your opponents will use | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
every opportunity to remind voters that, on Wales' place in Europe, | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
Is that going to damage your Assembly election campaign? | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
At the end of the day, the Conservatives | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
My vote, David Cameron's vote, is worth | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
no more than your vote, than the lady or gentleman walking | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
outside this building, than the lady or gentleman | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
in Cardiff, Wrexham, Mold - the length and breadth of Wales | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
The Tories united in celebration after last year's | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
general election, but now they are divided over Europe. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
Had Mr Davies discussed his views with the Prime Minister? | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Whatever those decision are taken, I will stand by them. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Mr Davies is one of three Conservative AMs | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
who have said they will vote to leave. | :02:31. | :02:44. | |
Three more have confirmed that they are on the remaining side. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
The other eight either haven't decided or are not saying. | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
At the end of the day you have to decide what do you think | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
is in the best interest of your constituency, | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
your country and I've decided that I think we should go | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
I think it is a good deal for Britain. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Mr Davies says he would fight for ways | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
to get money from Westminster if funding was cut | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
He paid tribute to the Prime Minister for negotiating hard | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
on EU reform but in the end the deal on offer wasn't robust enough | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
so he is following his instincts and voting to leave. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Some of Wales' largest companies, employing over 14,000 people, | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
are calling for the UK to remain part of the European Union. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
BT, HSBC, Airbus and Ford are among those who have told BBC Wales that | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
jobs and growth will be better served by being in the EU. | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Those campaigning for us to leave the EU say trade will continue, | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
An ex-Scoutmaster jailed for 12 years in 2014 for abusing boys | :03:36. | :03:46. | |
was back in court today, where he admitted to charges | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Martyn Tucker pleaded guilty at Caernarfon Crown Court to 28 | :03:49. | :03:56. | |
offences of indecent assault, spanning an 18-year period. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Conwy Council is to run a trial collecting refuse bins | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
But the pilot will only happen in one area, rather than throughout | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Hundreds of people have signed petitions opposing the plans | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
which were being introduced by the council in a bid to reduce | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
the costs of sending waste to landfill and to | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
More than 600 schoolchildren, parents and teachers have been | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
protesting at plans to re-organise secondary education in Powys. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
The council wants to close Llandrindod and Builth Wells High | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
School and build a new school in Builth Wells. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
It also wants to replace two schools in Brecon | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
The Cabinet has voted for a full consultation to be carried out. | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
Rather than double maths it was a silent demonstration | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
They were protesting against Powys Council's shake up | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Llandrindod and Builth Wales High School and a new school being built | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
A petition with more than 1,300 signatures on it was handed | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
What I'm particularly concerned about is the impact | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
At the moment there are three schools in special measures in this | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
Indeed, I haven't got a problem with that. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
What I have got a problem with is the school being sited | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
The impact on this town and the students who are here | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
would be highly negative, in my opinion. | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
Over 600 pupils, teachers and parents have turned up here | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
this morning to protest and handing in a petition | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
This the secondary school here for well over 50 years | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
and these people don't want to lose it. | :05:44. | :05:56. | |
Llandrindod Wells is a small-town of a | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
population of just under 6,000 people. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
If it even didn't have a high school here how is that town | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
If it goes it'll be a great loss to the community. | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
It is a major thing in the town and I | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
feel very passionate about it and so do other people. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
At a packed meeting, councillors approved | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
on a merger of Llandrindod and Builth Wellss high schools, | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
as well as a consultation on the closure of Brecon High | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
and Gwernyfed school, to establish a new English medium | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
The council says with three schools in special measures and pupil | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
numbers dropping by around 800 in four years they had | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
We can't offer a sustainable curriculum and a satisfactory | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
The consultation will start in September, but these pupils | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
protesting already fear this could be beginning of the end | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
Former Conservative MP Neil Hamilton has described a campaign | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
against his bid to stand as an Assembly Member for UKIP | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
as a "cancer that needs to be cleansed". | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
UKIP has launched an investigation, after an anonymous leaflet | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
criticising Mr Hamilton was sent to party members. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
It describes him as being "parachuted in" - | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
I was born in Wales, I grew up in Wales, I was educated | :07:03. | :07:15. | |
in Wales, both at school and at university. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
My father was the chief engineer for the Coal Board in Wales. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
He had an office just across the water there | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
in the early 1970s, before he retired. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
I am just as Welsh now as I was then. | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
Rugby now and Warren Gatland has made three changes to the Welsh team | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
that will face France at the Principality Stadium | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Alex Cuthbert will start on the wing, as Dan Lydiate gets | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Second row Bradley Davies will get his chance in light | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Two football results for you tonight. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Cardiff lost 3-1 to Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Wrexham moved into the play-off places in the National League | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
after securing their third successive win, with a 2-0 victory | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
over struggling Kidderminster Harriers. | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
A lovely dry day for many of us today. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |

Good evening. Cold And frosty today. Tomorrow, more dry weather and | :08:17. | :08:32. | |

Jupiter just to the left of the moon. Overnight temperatures down | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
below zero. He cold frost first thing tomorrow. Across the rest of | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
the United Kingdom, a frosty start for much of the country, especially | :08:56. | :09:03. | |
in Scotland. A few showers in Northern Ireland, with wintry | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
showers in the north of Scotland. Only four Celsius in Edinburgh, | :09:10. | :09:19. | |

and poisons. Again, some frost overnight once again. On Thursday, | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
more cloud alone. Still some dry and great weather. On Friday, still some | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
uncertainty, with the chance of a little rain. Looking mostly dry over | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
the weekend, but very cold. That is Wales Today. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Thank you for watching. From all of us on the | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
