:01:09. > :01:10.The announcement does not necessarily mean new jobs,
:01:11. > :01:11.but business as usual for tjhose already working
:01:12. > :01:24.It also means business as usual for those companies on Anglesey
:01:25. > :01:26.and further afield to supply RAF Valley with everything from catering
:01:27. > :01:33.Although it is a military facility it is of vital
:01:34. > :01:36.It offers high-quality employment, and creates disposable income
:01:37. > :01:44.which is distributed and spent across the island.
:01:45. > :01:47.RAF Valley is still one of the largest employers on Anglesey.
:01:48. > :01:50.There were threats of job losses are to be end of last year,
:01:51. > :01:52.but the Ministry of Defence confirmed in February that it
:01:53. > :01:55.will remain the fast jet training base until at least 2033.
:01:56. > :02:05.Officials say today's announcement makes the future even more secure.

:02:08. > :02:10.with Tata Steel representatives in Mumbai ahead of the Tata board
:02:11. > :02:12.meeting tomorrow when the company discusses the future of the works

:02:45. > :02:54.Football and Wales have lost 1-0 in Ukraine.
:02:55. > :02:57.It was the players' last chance to impress manager Chris Coleman
:02:58. > :02:59.before he names his squad for this summer's finals in France.
:03:00. > :03:18.Goals from Gareth Bale helped propel Wales to Euro 2016 but in his
:03:19. > :03:24.absence, who would deliver in front of goal? Tom Laurent sat alone on
:03:25. > :03:29.Cardiff got another chance to show what he can do. This early effort
:03:30. > :03:36.was eased over the bar. While Wales struggled to find the net, Ukraine's
:03:37. > :03:41.only shot on target yielded a goal. For the second successive game,
:03:42. > :03:45.Wales conceded from a set piece but there were encouraging signs for
:03:46. > :03:48.Chris Coleman. His team had most of the ball with Joe Allen commanding
:03:49. > :03:53.in midfield but they could not find a breakthrough. With time running
:03:54. > :03:59.out, Tom Bradshaw came on to earn his first cap. He plies his trade in
:04:00. > :04:08.League 1 for all soul and he could have snatched a goal late on. It is
:04:09. > :04:14.a good headache. Summary times I have been scratching around, trying
:04:15. > :04:19.to get a squad together. It would be nice if they were all fit. Chris
:04:20. > :04:27.Coleman must now whittle his squared down to 23 by the end of May. By
:04:28. > :04:31.then, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey should be available again. On the
:04:32. > :04:34.evidence of Wales' performance in front of goal in the last two games,
:04:35. > :04:37.their return cannot come soon enough.
:04:38. > :04:42.Wales missed the worst of the Storm Katie.
:04:43. > :04:44.Blustery, wintry showers tomorrow, some bright spells too.
:04:45. > :04:45.Tonight, winds will continue to ease.
:04:46. > :04:47.Dry for a time but more showers push in overnight.
:04:48. > :04:50.Some wintry, some possibly frost patches in sheltered rural spots.
:04:51. > :04:53.Sunny spells and a few showers in the morning.
:04:54. > :04:55.Brisk winds and then showers turning heavy at times from
:04:56. > :05:04.Also a risk of hail and thunder but sunny spells between the showers
:05:05. > :05:07.and highs of eight Celsius in Pembrokeshire, ten in Conwy.
:05:08. > :05:09.High-pressure brings more settled weather on Wednesday and Thursday.
:05:10. > :05:16.Largely fine and dry with sunny spells.
:05:17. > :05:34.From all of us on the programme, goodnight.
:05:35. > :05:38.again, largely dry and fine but still a bit of uncertainty regarding
:05:39. > :05:41.this broadcast so keep an eye on it.
