Now, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Some of Wales' most visited museums will be closed over the Easter break | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
It's over plans to stop extra payments for weekend working. | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
It is amongst one of Wales's top visitor attractions. | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
But the doors weren't open at the Big Pit mining Museum | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
More than 130,000 people have come to visit | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
the Big Pit here in Blaenavon over the past year. | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
But on a day when the chatter and footsteps of visitors | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
would usually be heard it is a lot quieter. | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
The museum opened at one o'clock but with a limited service. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
I drove four hours specific to come here. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
I was disappointed the underground bit was closed. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
Over the bank holiday, another five establishments run | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
by National Museum Wales are affected by | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
industrial action causing a mixed response. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
I've come all the way from Australia and I can't see all that Wales has | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
to offer so I'm disappointed about it. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
If they did it outside the most popular times | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
then we may not see it but this way they will get the most effect. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Strikes at Welsh museums aren't an unfamiliar sight. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
For more than two years, PCS union members have been | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
protesting against cuts to front line staff members pay on weekends | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
But National Museum Wales says a cut of 4.7% to | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
its annual grant from the Welsh Government means extra | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
weekend payments are now unaffordable as they cost | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
They want to be treated fairly in the same way as everybody else | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
It is the lowest paid, they want some security. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The last planned strikes were suspended in September | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
But further disagreement means the long-running dispute continues. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
National Museum Wales says resolving it is a matter of urgency. | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
An individual consultation process will start a week on Monday. | :02:11. | :02:16. | |

in television, film and the creative industries is closing | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Creative Skillset Cymru says it's due to a lack of public funding. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
Companies who want to attempt a new way of transforming | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
underground coal in Wales into synthetic natural gas won't be | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
The Welsh Government took the same action on fracking last year. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
One academic study suggests synthetic natural gas emits seven | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
times more greenhouse gases than natural gas. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
The president of athletics governing body, Lord Coe, | :02:48. | :02:50. | |

But for Olympian Mo Farah it isn't just about clocking the | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
Young people from across the city got the chance to ask Mo a few | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
At the age of 12 I started running and then racing. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
It was a great experience to meet an Olympic winner. | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
He was talking about, like, what he eats with diet and stuff. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
I was just like, I'm in the same room as Mo Farah! | :03:45. | :03:52. | |

Despite fears over recent events security | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
will be discreet and proportionate according to the organisers. | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
Security is always uppermost in any event organisers mind whether, | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
whatever the level, the threat level is. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
We lived through that in the London Games. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
