:00:00. > :00:09.and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:10. > :00:13.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines.

:00:14. > :00:16.It was abuse that spanned decades at children's homes in north Wales.

:00:17. > :00:17.The latest review finds no evidence that

:00:18. > :00:28.We are talking about dark and shameful events that are a stain on

:00:29. > :00:31.our nation. These were children in the care of the state because they

:00:32. > :00:36.were abominable, and the state let them down. -- were vulnerable.

:00:37. > :00:38.Tonight, we hear from one victim who says the review was

:00:39. > :00:48.Also tonight. A bill that could have seen

:00:49. > :00:54.a partial ban on e-cigarettes. The First Minister says

:00:55. > :00:56.Plaid Cymru voting against it was "childish".

:00:57. > :00:59.The idea was to build a better system of policing -

:01:00. > :01:03.but concern tonight that many of us don't know enough about

:01:04. > :01:04.the Police and Crime Commissioner's role.

:01:05. > :01:10.It was called the Cardiff City Asylum

:01:11. > :01:15.Now hopes a new facility will revolutionize mental health care.

:01:16. > :01:26.The row over calling one of Wales' players "Gypsy Boy" goes on.

:01:27. > :01:28.The England head coach criticises the WRU -

:01:29. > :01:29.suggesting its stance over the controversy

:01:30. > :01:45.at the Waterhouse inquiry was tasked with looking again

:01:46. > :01:55.into historical child abuse in north Wales, following fresh allegations.

:01:56. > :01:57.Today, the Macur review was published and found no evidence that

:01:58. > :01:59.politicians or national establishment figures were involved.

:02:00. > :02:02.It said there was no reason to doubt the inquiry's conclusions.

:02:03. > :02:07.The Welsh Secretary told the Commons that the long-awaited review

:02:08. > :02:09.into the Waterhouse Inquiry found it had fulfilled its remit

:02:10. > :02:18.into exploring a tragic period of Welsh history.

:02:19. > :02:26.We are talking about dark, shameful events that are stain on our nation.

:02:27. > :02:28.These were children in the care of the state because they were

:02:29. > :02:37.abominable, and at the state let them down, the main founding of the

:02:38. > :02:42.two was that she had found no findings to undermine Waterhouse in

:02:43. > :02:44.respect of the scale and nature of the abuse.

:02:45. > :02:47.Lady Justice Macur was asked to carry out her review

:02:48. > :02:50.She even heard evidence in Wrexham to discover what,

:02:51. > :02:52.if anything, was missed by Sir Ronald Waterhouse's inquiry.

:02:53. > :02:54.Started in 1997, it contained 700 allegations of abuse

:02:55. > :03:00.Commissioner for Wales. was the creation of a Children's

:03:01. > :03:07.Today I am thinking of the victims of the North Wales scandals. They

:03:08. > :03:10.need to be heard, they need to have justice, but also we need to make

:03:11. > :03:15.sure that children today are kept safe and that if there are victims

:03:16. > :03:17.that the we are able to respond to them properly and they get justice.

:03:18. > :03:19.The Waterhouse report also found that a paedophile ring existed

:03:20. > :03:22.but it said the inquiry had had seen no evidence

:03:23. > :03:25.that prominent public figures were involved.

:03:26. > :03:27.However, fresh claims resurfaced in 2012 when Steven Meesham,

:03:28. > :03:30.a survivor of abuse, gave a Newsnight interview which led

:03:31. > :03:32.wrongly to the naming of former senior Tory Lord McAlpine

:03:33. > :03:35.as an offender, something that was later retracted.

:03:36. > :03:43.broadened its scope. the Macur report should have

:03:44. > :03:53.To see that the Waterhouse inquiry was not too narrow was an outrageous

:03:54. > :03:56.statement. It did not go as far as Liverpool and Manchester, South

:03:57. > :04:01.Wales, and air in mind people like myself who were abused in those

:04:02. > :04:02.places, we were still in the care of Clwyd, and they were not able to

:04:03. > :04:04.investigate that. Lady Justice Macur highlighted

:04:05. > :04:06.concerns about the way relevant documents were stored and in some

:04:07. > :04:08.cases destroyed - though that was

:04:09. > :04:10.an innocent mistake by Welsh

:04:11. > :04:11.government contractors she said. But for many who endured abuse

:04:12. > :04:14.at children's homes in North Wales this review isn't the

:04:15. > :04:16.conclusion they hoped for. Survivors, as many like to

:04:17. > :04:20.describe themselves. They've included some

:04:21. > :04:22.of the harshest critics Hundreds did tell their stories

:04:23. > :04:29.there but many kept away only speaking out now to the

:04:30. > :04:30.Operation Pallial National Crime Agency

:04:31. > :04:31.investigation. Roger Pinney, who has followed this

:04:32. > :04:34.story since the 1990s, It was supposed to draw a line

:04:35. > :04:44.under the whole affair. Sir Ronald Waterhouse investigating

:04:45. > :04:47.claims of abuse that dogged the care On the 21st January, 1997,

:04:48. > :04:56.the first public hearings For 201 days, we sat here listening

:04:57. > :05:03.to the evidence from abuse victims, from those who were said

:05:04. > :05:05.to have done the abuse. To encourage the abusers

:05:06. > :05:07.to give their evidence, they were even granted

:05:08. > :05:12.immunity from prosecution. Convicted paedophile

:05:13. > :05:17.John Allen was one. The owner of the Bryn

:05:18. > :05:22.Alan care home. He simply stuck to his story

:05:23. > :05:32.that it was all lies. To be honest I felt that it was just

:05:33. > :05:34.me when it came out, I never knew anything different.

:05:35. > :05:36.Many abuse survivors lost their trust in authority.

:05:37. > :05:39.As a 12-year-old, he was plucked from the South Wales valleys

:05:40. > :05:41.and sent to a children's home in Wrexham.

:05:42. > :05:43.He didn't tell Waterhouse what happened to him.

:05:44. > :05:45.What's the point of me standing up, saying anything to anybody?

:05:46. > :05:50.When nobody's going to listen, anyway?

:05:51. > :05:53.Doesn't matter whether you had ten, ten of them at that time,

:05:54. > :05:54.it wouldn't have made any difference.

:05:55. > :06:09.26 of his victims gave evidence

:06:10. > :06:12.Sir Ronald Waterhouse was proud of his inquiry.

:06:13. > :06:15.But he did make it clear it was never meant to be

:06:16. > :06:18.Perhaps that's why so many have always felt

:06:19. > :06:25.Malcolm King, a former social services chair in Clywd,

:06:26. > :06:33.points to current, successful prosecutions of historical abuse.

:06:34. > :06:36.The Pallial Inquiry now, having had lots and lots of people

:06:37. > :06:44.well over 100, with scores of allegations about

:06:45. > :06:47.and more and more people being prosecuted and convicted

:06:48. > :06:49.in court, clearly says there were lots of things

:06:50. > :06:57.Now, some of that, you could say people were not ready to come

:06:58. > :07:00.forward, and so on, but a lot of it, you have to question,

:07:01. > :07:06.Victims expected so much more. This man wishes to remain anonymous.

:07:07. > :07:08.He was abused at the Bryn Alan care home.

:07:09. > :07:13.His words are spoken by a member of our production team.

:07:14. > :07:15.They wrote down everything what I told him.

:07:16. > :07:17.They went away with that statement, leaving me thinking

:07:18. > :07:21.that they were going to act on it. And do something about it.

:07:22. > :07:22.And they've done absolutely nothing about it.

:07:23. > :07:25.You know, the guy wasn't even spoken to until three years ago.

:07:26. > :07:32.I thought it was an actual inquiry, that people were going to get

:07:33. > :07:35.charged and convicted and may e imprisoned for what they had

:07:36. > :07:37.done to children. But it was never done.

:07:38. > :07:40.We were targets, we were sweets in a candy shop to paedophiles

:07:41. > :07:45.There have been a string of them over the years.

:07:46. > :07:54.For the victims, the horror of this has never gone away.

:07:55. > :07:56.Our political correspondent Daniel Davies joins me from Westminster.

:07:57. > :08:01.How's the review been received there?

:08:02. > :08:08.MPs on all sides have been paying tribute to the victims, many of whom

:08:09. > :08:12.waited decades to be heard. Some of them took their own lives before

:08:13. > :08:15.that happened. Labour MPs have been asking questions about the names

:08:16. > :08:22.that have been withheld or redacted from this report. Those are concerns

:08:23. > :08:28.shared by the blade coming MP, Liz Saville Roberts. There are a

:08:29. > :08:32.combination of issues about this report as it comes out now, with all

:08:33. > :08:37.of these names being concealed, of names being held back. That is what

:08:38. > :08:43.redaction means. Alongside the jaw-dropping announcement that a

:08:44. > :08:47.database, the evidence of the database was so corrupted that it

:08:48. > :08:55.was destroyed IE IT consultants in 2008. Those things they together,

:08:56. > :08:57.the red actions, the destruction of information, means that there will

:08:58. > :09:01.be more questions about whether we will get to the bottom of what

:09:02. > :09:06.happened in these care homes. The government accept criticism on

:09:07. > :09:09.record-keeping and says that were names are redacted it is done to

:09:10. > :09:13.protect victims and police inquiries, and the Secretary of

:09:14. > :09:17.State Stephen Crabb says that those reductions are crucial because as we

:09:18. > :09:21.heard tonight, many victims have lost faith in the system what they

:09:22. > :09:28.want to see is justice. He said that there have been prosecutions and

:09:29. > :09:34.more are likely to take place. A full unredacted version of the Lady

:09:35. > :09:39.Macur report will be read by another judge leading the UK- wide inquiry

:09:40. > :09:43.into child abuse, which means that this review is unlikely to be the

:09:44. > :09:45.last word in what was described today as "A dark chapter" in Welsh

:09:46. > :09:50.history. First Minister Carwyn Jones says

:09:51. > :09:53.he has never seen anything as childish as the behaviour

:09:54. > :09:56.of Plaid Cymru - after it helped defeat a proposed ban

:09:57. > :09:58.on e-cigarettes in public places. Plaid withdrew its support

:09:59. > :10:00.when a Labour minister described a previous deal between the two

:10:01. > :10:03.parties as a "cheap date". The parties have been accused

:10:04. > :10:05.of playing political games Our political editor

:10:06. > :10:17.Nick Servini has the latest. Labour called it theatre and

:10:18. > :10:25.disagreement in the chamber. Played calmly called it belittling and

:10:26. > :10:28.sexist. Yesterday's exchange certainly had consequences, as the

:10:29. > :10:35.public Health Bill fell at the final hurdle. At the time I thought they

:10:36. > :10:39.were a rather cheap date. Labour went on the attack, claiming that

:10:40. > :10:42.years of work had been wasted as a result of an overreaction which,

:10:43. > :10:46.they said, showed that played Camry were unfit to govern. -- cloud Camp

:10:47. > :10:54.Nou. You could not say that it was mature

:10:55. > :11:04.politicians prepared to make decisions on behalf of the people of

:11:05. > :11:07.Wales. The former leader of cloud Cymru said he'd betrayed by his

:11:08. > :11:11.party's opposition but overall, he said they felt United in taking a

:11:12. > :11:16.stand. There was an assumption by Labour that they could depend on the

:11:17. > :11:23.support of those members. It was an arrogant assumption in relation to a

:11:24. > :11:28.controversial and, in my view, bad legislation, and that is why Labour

:11:29. > :11:31.themselves jeopardised this bill. Labour and cloud Cymru have been

:11:32. > :11:35.coalition partners in the past. Many believe that some kind of future

:11:36. > :11:38.deal could be on the cards after the assembly elections. But this has

:11:39. > :11:43.been a notch above the usual political knock-about. And the

:11:44. > :11:48.question is how realistic that could be after such a bruising 24 hours. I

:11:49. > :11:52.running out the details of the public Health Bill took five years.

:11:53. > :11:57.The proposal to ban the use of e-cigarettes in some public places

:11:58. > :12:02.what all the headlines. But it would also have created a compulsory

:12:03. > :12:08.licensing system for tattooists and acupuncturists, and require councils

:12:09. > :12:12.to ride more public toilets. Doctors and nursing unions like the DMA and

:12:13. > :12:16.royal poll of nursing called on all parties not to play games with the

:12:17. > :12:19.health of the nation. Their disappointment that time had run out

:12:20. > :12:24.for the bill was shared by the owner of this tattoo parlour, who

:12:25. > :12:29.supported greater regulation. At the moment, tattooing is on a

:12:30. > :12:33.registration system and basically anybody can get registered. You

:12:34. > :12:39.could get registered tomorrow. There is no minimum standards, no training

:12:40. > :12:44.standards, and what we were hoping for was a tighter licensing system

:12:45. > :12:47.which would have had a minimum standard and possibly hygiene

:12:48. > :12:52.training before they are allowed to be licensed. A number of cancer

:12:53. > :12:56.charities had opposed plans to ban the use of e-cigarettes because they

:12:57. > :13:02.felt it helped discourage smoking. For them, the defeat last night was

:13:03. > :13:06.welcomed. One of the things that we have actively spoken out against has

:13:07. > :13:13.been the restrictions based on -- placed on e-cigarettes. We were

:13:14. > :13:21.really quite concerned about the impact of putting electronic

:13:22. > :13:27.cigarette users out with smokers in certain situations. Today, no word

:13:28. > :13:32.from Leighton Andrews on his use of the term, cheap date. The only

:13:33. > :13:35.reaction got on that was on Carwyn Jones who said that the public

:13:36. > :13:37.services Minister had his time again, he would have said things

:13:38. > :13:41."It's time for a change" - differently.

:13:42. > :13:43.the message from the Welsh Conservatives as they launched

:13:44. > :13:45.their campaign for the Assembly election in Cardiff earlier today.

:13:46. > :13:48.The Tories say they're the only party that offers a real alternative

:13:49. > :13:52.to what they say has been 17 years of Labour failure in running Wales.

:13:53. > :13:58.Our political reporter, James Williams, has more.

:13:59. > :14:04.Kick-off for the Welsh Conservatives. With just under two

:14:05. > :14:09.months to go until the Assembly Election, this is the team they hope

:14:10. > :14:14.will be running Wales. After 17 years of bad results in government,

:14:15. > :14:17.it is time to relegate Labour to the backbenches, they say. According to

:14:18. > :14:24.the party leader, the Conservatives are the only alternative. We have

:14:25. > :14:26.crafted out policy positions unique to the Welsh Conservatives such as

:14:27. > :14:33.protecting the health budget and driving forward excellent and

:14:34. > :14:37.education, dignity and security in old age and 30 hours of free

:14:38. > :14:42.childcare, and it is only the Welsh Conservatives that can give that

:14:43. > :14:47.security of real change. Labour's failure in running Wales was a

:14:48. > :14:51.prominent narrative in the Tories' election campaign last year. It led

:14:52. > :14:57.to their best election result in Wales in 30 years, a useful

:14:58. > :15:06.springboard, they say, for the Welsh Assembly elections. Technically, if

:15:07. > :15:10.we got all of those Conservative voters out in this election we could

:15:11. > :15:14.win an outright majority. At the assembly level, the Conservatives

:15:15. > :15:17.have increased the number of seats in Cardiff they in every single

:15:18. > :15:22.election since the start of devolution in 1999 and they are now

:15:23. > :15:27.the official opposition, but becoming a party of government will

:15:28. > :15:29.be a much harder challenge. One issue that might potentially make

:15:30. > :15:36.things more difficult for the Conservatives this year is that we

:15:37. > :15:39.are seeing is let's in the Conservative Party on the EU

:15:40. > :15:43.referendum. We don't know how that is going to impact on the

:15:44. > :15:48.Conservative Party support here in Wales. It is quite possible that

:15:49. > :15:51.there could actually hurt them. Our focus will remain on the Assembly

:15:52. > :15:55.Election until the vote on made up with, say the Welsh Conservatives.

:15:56. > :16:00.But for their team-mates in Westminster, domestic concerns might

:16:01. > :16:02.play second fiddle to Europe. More like a hotel, than a hospital -

:16:03. > :16:08.claims this new, state of the art facility will revolutionise mental

:16:09. > :16:09.health care. And so far this month

:16:10. > :16:12.is colder and drier than average. But how much longer will the high

:16:13. > :16:14.pressure last They control of millions

:16:15. > :16:24.of pounds of funding yet the vast majority of people

:16:25. > :16:32.in Wales don't know who they are. In Police and Crime Commissioner

:16:33. > :16:34.elections in 20-12, only 15%

:16:35. > :16:36.of us turned out to vote. Elections take place

:16:37. > :16:40.again on the 5th May. Gwent Commissioner Ian Johnston

:16:41. > :16:43.is warning more needs to be done to make people aware of the role,

:16:44. > :16:46.as he prepares to stand down. Paul Heaney has been

:16:47. > :16:56.speaking to him. The idea was to build a better

:16:57. > :17:01.system, listen to what local people want. Meet our Chief Constable, the

:17:02. > :17:05.person in charge of running your police force day to day, ultimately

:17:06. > :17:10.responsible for investigating crime, arresting people. A group of local

:17:11. > :17:16.councillors used to hold them to account. In 2011 they were replaced

:17:17. > :17:19.by a Police and Crime Commissioner. One democratically elected person to

:17:20. > :17:24.look carefully at each police force. Some commissioners promised to spend

:17:25. > :17:29.less time catching people speeding, others to reopen police stations.

:17:30. > :17:33.They cannot interfere with investigations or arrests, but they

:17:34. > :17:37.can hire and fire chief constables. In charge of millions of pounds of

:17:38. > :17:43.funding from the Home Office and money seized from criminals, this

:17:44. > :17:47.training video was paid for by the Commissioner in Gwent, Ian Johnson,

:17:48. > :17:52.telling is forced to focus on victim satisfaction, the film aims to

:17:53. > :17:55.educate people about stalking. I joined the Commissioner for a day

:17:56. > :18:01.earlier this month to see exactly what his role has achieved. A drama

:18:02. > :18:05.group telling people about the risks of drugs. Council funding was cut.

:18:06. > :18:11.The Commissioner stepped in. Not the first time that they have picked up

:18:12. > :18:14.the slack from local authorities. Lots of people after four years

:18:15. > :18:21.don't understand what people use and Crime Commissioner does. And when

:18:22. > :18:25.you look at the crime linked to money and link to prevention, linked

:18:26. > :18:31.to educating children about making choices, that is a big part of it.

:18:32. > :18:37.His office funded this skate park in Monmouth to reduce anti-social

:18:38. > :18:39.behaviour. It runs a dedicated support centre for victims and has

:18:40. > :18:45.responsibility for drug addiction services. He is worried that not

:18:46. > :18:48.enough is being done to let people in Gwent and elsewhere know why they

:18:49. > :18:54.should turn out to vote for Commissioner. This is the

:18:55. > :18:56.Conservative government's idea, the concept of the Police and Crime

:18:57. > :19:00.Commissioner. And I think a lot more effort could go in to raising the

:19:01. > :19:06.awareness of the public. Which means more money. Yes, absolutely. You can

:19:07. > :19:11.choose your next Police and Crime Commissioner on made up of, the same

:19:12. > :19:21.day as the council elections. Turnout last time was just 15%.

:19:22. > :19:25.Labour and cloud Cymru have disagreed with the position of

:19:26. > :19:29.Police and Crime Commissioner in the past, but they will be fielding

:19:30. > :19:30.candidates along with everyone else, promising to change your local

:19:31. > :19:33.police service for the better. What springs to mind

:19:34. > :19:35.to when you look at these images? You wouldn't immediately, perhaps,

:19:36. > :19:38.think they're of a hospital. But it's claimed this new state

:19:39. > :19:40.of the art facility will help transform mental health care in

:19:41. > :19:43.Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. Patients at Whitchurch hospital

:19:44. > :19:50.will move to the new ?88 million facility in Llandough

:19:51. > :19:52.following concerns about as our health correspondent

:19:53. > :20:03.Owain Clarke explains. After 108 years you can forgive the

:20:04. > :20:09.building for not looking its best, but would you want to come here?

:20:10. > :20:13.When the hospital opened in 1908, it was called the Cardiff city are

:20:14. > :20:15.silent. The way that we think about mental health has changed a lot

:20:16. > :20:26.since then, but this building has not. -- Cardiff city at asylum. It

:20:27. > :20:30.gives you the idea of being in an institution. It is very enclosed.

:20:31. > :20:37.The ceilings are very high, but you feel very enclosed, you feel very

:20:38. > :20:41.trap. This ward closed several years ago, yet around 120 mental health

:20:42. > :20:46.patients are cared for here. But things are about to change. When I

:20:47. > :20:53.was shown into this room I burst into tears, because the contrast, in

:20:54. > :20:57.here, it feels like people care. This woman is a mother of three who

:20:58. > :21:02.has had to be admitted in the past for help. She has bipolar disorder

:21:03. > :21:06.and most of her care now happens at home, what if she needs to be

:21:07. > :21:09.admitted again she will come here. Here, if you are stuck inside your

:21:10. > :21:13.head with strange stuff going on, this is a place that you can be

:21:14. > :21:20.drawn out of that, you can be drawn into the real walled in a very

:21:21. > :21:23.comfortable way. What makes this place special? One of the wonderful

:21:24. > :21:28.things about this building is that the services have been involved at

:21:29. > :21:31.every step of the way, and what we try to respond to here is what they

:21:32. > :21:37.have been asking for, they want something that is airy, that has

:21:38. > :21:41.lots of natural light, with areas where they can have privacy and

:21:42. > :21:45.calmness, and also areas where they can socialise. That has been the

:21:46. > :21:53.focus of the strategy from the beginning. There are some hotels

:21:54. > :21:55.that are less well equipped. But in its cutting-edge designer was

:21:56. > :22:01.another question to consider, how to keep patients sake. Some of the

:22:02. > :22:07.patients that'll be saying it will be monitored by staff to make sure

:22:08. > :22:11.that they are safe. Now that happens with staff having to physically

:22:12. > :22:15.enter the room, but that will not have to happen any more because in

:22:16. > :22:18.each room a camera has been set up so that staff can check on the

:22:19. > :22:22.patients without disturbing them. Each of the rooms has been

:22:23. > :22:26.specifically designed. It does not look anything like a hospital, but

:22:27. > :22:34.what is crucial about the design can be seen in the details. The

:22:35. > :22:41.furniture has been weighed down so that it cannot be thrown. But the

:22:42. > :22:51.key theme is to give a sense of normality. They might only be a few

:22:52. > :22:53.miles apart, but Llandough is a world away from the old hospital at

:22:54. > :22:54.Whitchurch. Here's Tomos now with tonight's

:22:55. > :23:04.sport. The Welsh Rugby Union say that they

:23:05. > :23:15.are surprised that Six Nations organisers are surprised that the

:23:16. > :23:19.interplay has not been punished. Lee, who is from the Traveller

:23:20. > :23:24.community, said that he accepted an apology from his opponent. I cannot

:23:25. > :23:29.speak for myself, I speak for the organisation. We don't condone any

:23:30. > :23:36.discrimination whether it be race, religion, sexuality, etc. As an

:23:37. > :23:42.organisation, I think we probably slightly disagree with it but the

:23:43. > :23:46.decision has been made, move on. The response from the Wales management

:23:47. > :23:50.has been ridiculed by the England coach, Eddie Jones, who suggested

:23:51. > :23:52.that the position of the WRU has been inconsistent after the Wales

:23:53. > :23:59.head coach Warren Gatland initially played down the incident. If you're

:24:00. > :24:06.the statements out by Wales yesterday, maybe they are not

:24:07. > :24:12.interested in saying what is right and wrong, there was a decision

:24:13. > :24:29.made. That is why we have those sort of judiciary 's and committees.

:24:30. > :24:34.The Swansea coach says that his only focus is keeping his team in the

:24:35. > :24:46.Premier League and that is not interested in the to the national

:24:47. > :24:53.job. Now, I think only of Swansea and they are now my team, my club,

:24:54. > :24:56.my players. I am happy my name is in the list, but I don't, I don't know

:24:57. > :24:59.nothing. Chris Coleman names his squad

:25:00. > :25:02.for the forthcoming friendlies against Northern Ireland

:25:03. > :25:05.and Ukraine tomorrow. Gareth Bale could miss

:25:06. > :25:23.the Ukraine game Wales are without Aaron Ramsey and

:25:24. > :25:34.David was because of injury. Let's get a full check on the weather

:25:35. > :25:38.forecast. Probably more cloud than sunshine over the weekend. Hardly a

:25:39. > :25:47.cloud in the sky in Barry Island this afternoon. And the cloudy

:25:48. > :25:52.morning in Powys. We're only halfway through March, and so far we have

:25:53. > :25:56.had around two inches of rain, slightly less than we would normally

:25:57. > :26:00.expect at this point in the month. Tonight, dry with a clear sky,

:26:01. > :26:07.becoming cold, temperatures close to freezing or below. And the

:26:08. > :26:11.widespread frost with one or two mist and fog patches forming as

:26:12. > :26:13.well. High-pressure still with us tomorrow. Normally, our weather

:26:14. > :26:19.comes in from the Atlantic. At the moment the atmosphere is locked. Low

:26:20. > :26:24.pressure that normally brings rain is being diverted towards Greenland

:26:25. > :26:29.and towards Portugal. This is the picture for eight o'clock in the

:26:30. > :26:32.morning, the whole country drive, cloudy on the border from Wrexham to

:26:33. > :26:41.Monmouth. Elsewhere, some mist and fog patches. Clear, bright and sunny

:26:42. > :26:47.but the wind, light. Another dry day tomorrow, past of Powys, north-east

:26:48. > :26:49.and south-east Wales might cloud over in the afternoon, most of the

:26:50. > :27:01.North and south-west remaining sunny. Temperatures reaching 11-12

:27:02. > :27:14.Celsius. Some cloud in the afternoon in poverty. -- in Breconshire.

:27:15. > :27:20.Similar run Sunday, and high pressure will bring more dry weather

:27:21. > :27:31.next week. Our picture tonight is from Stephanie Marshall. Sunset in

:27:32. > :27:35.Burycourt. A lot of story, a review of the water out inquirer into child

:27:36. > :27:42.abuse in Jordan zones in North Wales found no evidence that any national

:27:43. > :27:44.figures were on board. No reason was found to undermine the conclusions

:27:45. > :27:49.of the inquiry.
