:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories:

:00:00. > :00:09.the First Minister meets the Prime Minister to find a future

:00:10. > :00:16.for Port Talbot and the other Welsh steel plants.

:00:17. > :00:18.Tonight, I'm at the Liberty Steel plant in Newport.

:00:19. > :00:20.Could the entrepreneur who owns this place offer hope

:00:21. > :00:27.Anglesey's new nuclear power station could be Wales' biggest

:00:28. > :00:34.But the warning tonight that it has almost zero chance of being built.

:00:35. > :00:36.Kirsty Williams is fighting for her political life.

:00:37. > :00:39.Can she save the Liberal Democrats from being wiped out

:00:40. > :00:51.And England's Joe Marler faces a World Rugby disciplinary hearing

:00:52. > :00:53.for his comments to Wales' Samson Lee during

:00:54. > :01:09.There are several options on the table

:01:10. > :01:12.That was the message from the First Minister,

:01:13. > :01:14.Carwyn Jones, following a meeting with the Prime Minister

:01:15. > :01:20.It was described as "productive" by both governments and covered

:01:21. > :01:23.issues such as energy costs and steel tariffs.

:01:24. > :01:26.Meanwhile, Tata Steel has said it doesn't have a timescale

:01:27. > :01:29.for selling its plants, but that discussions

:01:30. > :01:39.Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan.

:01:40. > :01:45.This morning's meeting was said to be constructive. It seems clear by

:01:46. > :01:49.now that any deal to stave -- save International Olympic Committee's

:01:50. > :01:54.Welsh Guards will involve both governments. But the heaviest

:01:55. > :01:58.financial burden will have to be met by the UK. -- Welsh plants.

:01:59. > :02:02.Ministers will not say how much they are prepared to put forward but

:02:03. > :02:07.insists the options are open on pensions, energy costs and tariffs

:02:08. > :02:11.on cheap steel imports. The Business Secretary, Sajid Javid, spoke to

:02:12. > :02:14.frustrated steelworkers on a visit to Port Talbot last week after

:02:15. > :02:20.criticism of his handling of the crisis. He is on his way to Mumbai

:02:21. > :02:23.to meet with Tata bosses in the morning. What I want to achieve

:02:24. > :02:26.mostly out of that is to have a final agreement on the sales

:02:27. > :02:30.process, and it comes back to the role of the UK Government and I want

:02:31. > :02:35.to make sure that when the documentation for that is issued, it

:02:36. > :02:38.is clear that the UK Government understand the role of every

:02:39. > :02:42.potential buyer and we are well coordinated with Tata. It is clear

:02:43. > :02:45.that Tata has been focusing on other parts of its European business.

:02:46. > :02:53.Diggers show that in February this year, Tata produced 598,000 tonnes

:02:54. > :02:58.of steel at Port Talbot. That was a 37.9% drop on the previous year. At

:02:59. > :03:02.the same time, the melly-mac increased production at its site in

:03:03. > :03:08.the Netherlands to 602,000 tonnes of steel. That was up 9.4% on the

:03:09. > :03:11.previous year. Speaking to the enterprise and Business Committee at

:03:12. > :03:19.the SMB Mac, Tata says it is looking to find a buyer quickly. The

:03:20. > :03:23.uncertainty that the process leads to amongst employees, customers,

:03:24. > :03:29.suppliers etc, means we are very interested in completing the process

:03:30. > :03:35.as quickly as we can. One potential buyer that has emerged is Newport's

:03:36. > :03:39.Liberty Stadium. It has bought International Olympic Committee's

:03:40. > :03:45.Scottish operations and took some part of another plant after when --

:03:46. > :03:49.it went to administration. But the Welsh operations are on a much

:03:50. > :03:53.bigger scale. One of the key aspects is the energy question. We need a

:03:54. > :03:57.solution to that. If we melt steel, it has to be melted on legislative

:03:58. > :04:02.energy. But what realistically can be done about that? Expert on

:04:03. > :04:06.European rules that restrict what governments can do to help

:04:07. > :04:10.businesses says subsidising energy costs would be difficult. The

:04:11. > :04:16.Government could not subsidise those costs, that would be seen as

:04:17. > :04:23.operating in an illegal way. Business rates is a difficult one.

:04:24. > :04:31.Again, that would have to be agreed with the Commission. It is

:04:32. > :04:34.potentially very small money. One specialist says the steel industry

:04:35. > :04:38.needs continuous innovation to improve productivity. That should

:04:39. > :04:44.lead to smaller plants that are cheaper to run, similar to Liberty

:04:45. > :04:47.Steel's mini meal. What we could see happening now is a move to

:04:48. > :04:53.specialist smaller plants. -- mini mill. It could be it into four,

:04:54. > :05:02.five, six smaller That could sit alongside one

:05:03. > :05:06.another, you get economies of scale around the skilled workforce but the

:05:07. > :05:11.funds themselves are specialist producers. It would see Port Talbot

:05:12. > :05:15.change from making skills -- steal from scratch to recycling it from

:05:16. > :05:16.scratch. It is not clear whether any other buyers will come forward who

:05:17. > :05:18.want to keep the plant as it is. Brian is at Liberty Steel

:05:19. > :05:20.in Newport tonight. Brian, the owner of that plant

:05:21. > :05:22.is the centre of attention, but tomorrow, the focus

:05:23. > :05:33.is back on Tata in Mumbai? That is absolutely right. Sanjiv

:05:34. > :05:38.Gupta, who owns the site, met with the UK Government today, said it was

:05:39. > :05:41.very positive, he said the Welsh Government has been very engaged,

:05:42. > :05:46.but it is now up to Tata to outline the sales process and also to invite

:05:47. > :05:54.buyers to come in and put their opposition. Mr Gupta said he will

:05:55. > :05:57.look at that when that next step happens but he has also said that

:05:58. > :06:02.everyone is very motivated to find a solution, and we are seeing the UK

:06:03. > :06:06.Government's Business Secretary going over to Mumbai to meet Tata,

:06:07. > :06:10.to talk about the role of the UK Government in this sales process and

:06:11. > :06:15.to find out how Tata wants to progress. That will perhaps be

:06:16. > :06:20.satisfied, more satisfying to those people who are very critical of the

:06:21. > :06:23.UK Government, many very critical of the Welsh Government for not being

:06:24. > :06:26.more involved earlier, before the decision was taken to put it up for

:06:27. > :06:28.sale. Brian, thank you. Plans for a new power plant

:06:29. > :06:31.on Anglesey have a "slim to zero" That's according to an expert

:06:32. > :06:35.on the world's nuclear industry, who argues that the difficulties

:06:36. > :06:39.faced by the proposed Hinkley Point C reactors in Somerset

:06:40. > :06:42.would affect Wylfa Newydd's ability Our environment correspondent,

:06:43. > :06:49.Steffan Messenger, reports. If it gets off the ground,

:06:50. > :06:51.Wylfa Newydd will become one of the biggest infrastructure projects

:06:52. > :06:55.ever undertaken in Wales. A new ?10 billion nuclear

:06:56. > :07:02.power plant, capable of delivering electricity

:07:03. > :07:04.to around 14 million homes But to what extent does the future

:07:05. > :07:08.transformation does this site, at Cemaes Bay in Anglesey,

:07:09. > :07:11.depend on the fate of another, rival plant, some 200 miles

:07:12. > :07:16.away in Somerset? Hinkley Point C is causing a huge

:07:17. > :07:19.headache for its developer, EDF, with similar projects in

:07:20. > :07:22.Finland and France behind schedule A final decision on whether to

:07:23. > :07:27.commit to the English plants The Hinkley Point C project

:07:28. > :07:34.is in great difficulty... The situation raises serious doubts

:07:35. > :07:36.for the future of the other nuclear reactors

:07:37. > :07:40.the UK has in the pipeline, according to this former

:07:41. > :07:42.adviser for the French The Hinkley Point C project is

:07:43. > :07:48.far ahead, and the uncertainties are even much larger

:07:49. > :07:52.in the case of Wylfa. So, what are the chances,

:07:53. > :07:54.would you say, But the company behind

:07:55. > :08:00.Wylfa Newydd says On-site, building work

:08:01. > :08:04.is already under way on new office space for

:08:05. > :08:07.Horizon Nuclear Power. I think it is important

:08:08. > :08:09.to note that while Hinkley appears to

:08:10. > :08:11.be going through some difficulties at the moment, for us,

:08:12. > :08:13.we have technology, the advanced boiling water reactor,

:08:14. > :08:16.which is very different to the European

:08:17. > :08:18.pressurised reactor that ours has been built before

:08:19. > :08:24.four times, has been But there is a long way to go before

:08:25. > :08:29.construction can start in earnest, from licensing the design

:08:30. > :08:31.of the reactors, getting planning permission and most importantly,

:08:32. > :08:34.attracting enough investment Key to that will be

:08:35. > :08:40.hammering out with the UK Government how much money

:08:41. > :08:42.the company are guaranteed to get Nuclear projects are very complex,

:08:43. > :08:47.they are very costly, and nuclear power stations take

:08:48. > :08:50.a long time to build. But I do believe that energy policy

:08:51. > :08:55.in the UK favours nuclear. We are here as a

:08:56. > :08:57.council to work with Horizon, to help them de-risk the project,

:08:58. > :09:00.and we are also here to work with and influence

:09:01. > :09:02.the Welsh Government so it is very important

:09:03. > :09:09.that the project goes ahead. Horizon insists the difficulties

:09:10. > :09:12.faced by its rival, EDF, will not cast a shadow over

:09:13. > :09:15.Wylfa Newydd's prospects. But as the French firm

:09:16. > :09:17.finalises its plans for Hinkley Point C, any repercussions

:09:18. > :09:20.for the industry further afield One of the most high profile

:09:21. > :09:29.Tories, Boris Johnson, says the Conservatives

:09:30. > :09:31.are "on the rise" in Wales. The Mayor of London has spent

:09:32. > :09:35.the day campaigning in Wales Ahead of the election, Plaid Cymru

:09:36. > :09:45.has published its manifesto, containing what it calls a plan

:09:46. > :09:47.for a new Wales. Plaid says its policies for public

:09:48. > :09:52.services would redirect ?1 billion of the Welsh Government's

:09:53. > :09:56.?15 billion budget. Here's our political correspondent,

:09:57. > :10:00.Daniel Davies. Raise your sights,

:10:01. > :10:04.show some vision - that's what Plaid Cymru say

:10:05. > :10:07.they are doing. They say it's the most ambitious,

:10:08. > :10:11.most exciting plan for government it's certainly one of the longest

:10:12. > :10:17.manifestos we've seen! the party would recruit an extra

:10:18. > :10:25.1000 doctors and 5000 nurses. Plaid says it would provide free

:10:26. > :10:30.social care for the elderly. It is promising a national childcare

:10:31. > :10:33.service, with free nursery places The manifesto pledges

:10:34. > :10:39.to help students, by paying off up to ?18,000 of debt,

:10:40. > :10:45.if they return to Wales to work. And it would invest

:10:46. > :10:48.in public transport throughout Wales, but opposes

:10:49. > :10:52.spending ?1 billion on Our vision for

:10:53. > :10:58.building up this country. There is a lot in your manifesto

:10:59. > :11:02.about building a nation. Is that a realistic prospect

:11:03. > :11:06.in a five-year Assembly term? What we can do within

:11:07. > :11:10.a five-year term is put But what you will see

:11:11. > :11:15.in her manifesto is In the distance, you can just about

:11:16. > :11:28.see the Assembly from here. Plaid hope they will be back

:11:29. > :11:31.there after the election on May the 5th with enough seats

:11:32. > :11:34.to form the next Welsh Government. To do that, they will have

:11:35. > :11:36.to overtake the Conservatives and Labour, and they hope

:11:37. > :11:39.voters will see something in this document

:11:40. > :11:40.they have published today that will give them the support

:11:41. > :11:42.that they need. Daniel Davies,

:11:43. > :11:53.BBC Wales Today, Cardiff. And Daniel is here now to look in

:11:54. > :11:54.more detail on one of those policies.

:11:55. > :11:56.Jamie, let's take a look at that pledge to recruit

:11:57. > :12:01.Plaid says it would need ten years,

:12:02. > :12:08.500 of them would be in place by the year 2021,

:12:09. > :12:16.The NHS is the big spending priority for the

:12:17. > :12:18.current Welsh Government, and it would be for Plaid, who promise

:12:19. > :12:23.to protect the health and social care budgets.

:12:24. > :12:25.But to a large extent, the Welsh budget

:12:26. > :12:34.So, protecting one department means reading another.

:12:35. > :12:39.Academics who assess Plaid's plans on behalf of the party say other

:12:40. > :12:41.spending would be severely restrained to meet these plans.

:12:42. > :12:43.Plaid thinks there are opportunities to save money within

:12:44. > :12:47.the health budget - ?300 million a year after five years.

:12:48. > :12:50.If the recent history of the NHS is anything to go by,

:12:51. > :12:53.Health boards have needed to be bailed out

:12:54. > :12:56.Plaid is now proposing to ask NHS managers

:12:57. > :13:00.Overall, the academics think Plaid's figures

:13:01. > :13:04.Bear in mind, these are academics commissioned

:13:05. > :13:09.Nevertheless, they point out that raising the kind of money

:13:10. > :13:10.Plaid talks about from efficiency savings

:13:11. > :13:20.Much more to come before seven o'clock.

:13:21. > :13:23.England's Joe Marler has faced a World Rugby disciplinary hearing

:13:24. > :13:24.for his comments to Wales' Samson Lee

:13:25. > :13:39.And a change in the weather from tomorrow, turning cooler and more

:13:40. > :13:42.unsettled during -- join me later for a full forecast.

:13:43. > :13:45.The challenges of a major tidal energy project off the North Wales

:13:46. > :13:47.coast have been discussed at an international conference.

:13:48. > :13:50.The scheme, which would involve creating a walled lagoon

:13:51. > :13:54.between Llandudno and Prestatyn, is currently being investigated.

:13:55. > :14:03.Harnessing the power of the tide is not a new idea.

:14:04. > :14:06.Plans for a ?1 billion lagoon in Swansea Bay are being considered,

:14:07. > :14:08.although the UK Government is reviewing such schemes

:14:09. > :14:11.to establish if they offer good value for money.

:14:12. > :14:13.Its findings will be published later this year.

:14:14. > :14:15.But it's the scientific side of tidal lagoons

:14:16. > :14:17.that is being discussed at this conference,

:14:18. > :14:31.This is a major infrastructure project, and it is a 200 year period

:14:32. > :14:36.project, so we have to mature the science is world-class. One of the

:14:37. > :14:36.key things is that we want to have this leading science, really

:14:37. > :14:38.influencing how we will go forward. It is claimed the scheme would offer

:14:39. > :14:41.flood protection to places along the coast and generate jobs,

:14:42. > :14:44.as well as sustainable electricity. But the international scientists

:14:45. > :14:46.here want to know how the sea bed will be affected

:14:47. > :14:58.by offshore development. Offshore, where we are increasingly

:14:59. > :15:02.building, building infrastructure because restrictions on energy,

:15:03. > :15:05.tides, it is always using the sea bed, so we need to know what the

:15:06. > :15:09.impact is on the sea bed in the long-term and in the short term. Not

:15:10. > :15:10.just around the structure but in the forefront.

:15:11. > :15:13.Around ?35 million of EU and private sector money is currently invested

:15:14. > :15:15.in new tidal and wave energy projects in Wales.

:15:16. > :15:17.The North Wales scheme could ultimately cost

:15:18. > :15:21.billions of pounds and before it gets the go-ahead,

:15:22. > :15:26.the benefits will need to be weighed against the price tag.

:15:27. > :15:28.The Assembly election for Kirsty Williams will be

:15:29. > :15:31.a far cry from the early years of her leadership of

:15:32. > :15:34.the Welsh Liberal Democrats, when she talked about winning

:15:35. > :15:37.31 seats and forming a government in Cardiff Bay.

:15:38. > :15:40.The party now has five AMs and is facing its toughest test

:15:41. > :15:42.since the start of devolution, after suffering major losses

:15:43. > :15:46.Our political editor, Nick Servini, caught up with Kirsty Williams

:15:47. > :15:49.at a hotel in Abergavenny in the latest of our interviews

:15:50. > :16:12.Kirsty Williams, welcome. You and I did a similar interview around a

:16:13. > :16:15.year ago, let's be honest, it has been a devastating year for the

:16:16. > :16:20.Liberal Democrats, particularly after the General Election result. I

:16:21. > :16:26.suppose the key question is, have you bottomed out yet in Wales? Well,

:16:27. > :16:30.it is true, the General Election result was devastating for the

:16:31. > :16:35.party. But since then, we are really seeing the party pick itself up,

:16:36. > :16:39.dust itself down, a huge increase in members since the General Election

:16:40. > :16:44.and similarly important electoral tests. For instance, we took a

:16:45. > :16:49.council seat from Labour in a by-election in Wrexham, we took a

:16:50. > :16:53.council seat from the Tories in Powys. A big difference between a

:16:54. > :16:59.council by-election and something like the Cinema collection. I think

:17:00. > :17:03.people will realise they need to listen to the Liberal Democrats

:17:04. > :17:08.again and recognising hard-working campaigners in their communities.

:17:09. > :17:13.And we will devastate we are a party that can deliver. Even with just

:17:14. > :17:16.five members for the last five years, we have been able to change

:17:17. > :17:20.the law to ensure we will have enough nurses on our hospital wards.

:17:21. > :17:26.But we want to go further. Over the last five years, we have been able

:17:27. > :17:31.to deliver additional money to our schools, targeted on her poorest

:17:32. > :17:35.pupils, which the Government's to an inspector says is making a real

:17:36. > :17:39.difference in closing the attainment gap between those poorer and richer

:17:40. > :17:42.children. I have listened to a number of your speeches at

:17:43. > :17:47.conferences, and you are very critical of the labour Government,

:17:48. > :17:53.and yet, you prop them up time and time again. How do you square that?

:17:54. > :18:00.If they are so bad, why do you keep supporting them? Well, as I said, we

:18:01. > :18:04.live in a democracy. They have 30 seats, I do not like that, but that

:18:05. > :18:10.is what the people of Wales have decided. Only 30? They do not have a

:18:11. > :18:13.majority? And I do not have a majority either, and do -- I do not

:18:14. > :18:17.have the votes to defeat the Government... But according to your

:18:18. > :18:19.rhetoric, they are so bad, anyone who listens to your speeches come

:18:20. > :18:28.and in your latest you basically accuse them of wrecking the

:18:29. > :18:32.aspirations that people have. On any kind of logic, you would not touch

:18:33. > :18:37.them with a barge pole! Let's be clear, after 17 years, if we are

:18:38. > :18:41.truly honest about what devolution has achieved for people, if you

:18:42. > :18:46.listen to people, they want the Welsh Government to work. They want

:18:47. > :18:51.the National Assembly to work. But they need it to work better for

:18:52. > :18:54.them. And I make no apology for getting up, week on week in that

:18:55. > :18:59.chamber and holding First Minister to account in his failure, for

:19:00. > :19:04.instance, to ensure that we have a Health Service that meets the needs

:19:05. > :19:10.of people. What about after the election? Would you do a deal with

:19:11. > :19:13.Labour again? Would you form a coalition, for example? I think what

:19:14. > :19:17.people want to know is, what am I going to get from the Welsh Liberal

:19:18. > :19:24.Democrat representative? And what they will get is an individual who

:19:25. > :19:29.will, with whatever influence they have, whether that is in government,

:19:30. > :19:34.but the government, will do certain things to build homes for people and

:19:35. > :19:37.affordable homes... And a lot of people have come to the conclusion

:19:38. > :19:43.that they will always prop up a Labour administration. We have not

:19:44. > :19:49.propped up any Labour Laika you have done, for the past five years!

:19:50. > :19:52.Budgets have got through because the Welsh Liberal Democrats have been

:19:53. > :19:57.able to use their influence to make progress for the people of Wales.

:19:58. > :20:02.You can stand on the sidelines, you can argue and shout and throw stones

:20:03. > :20:09.at the window, like the official opposition has done, and it achieves

:20:10. > :20:13.not a jot. But you have been there since 1999, how serious is the

:20:14. > :20:17.situation for the Liberal Democrats? Presumably, this is the toughest

:20:18. > :20:22.fight you have had. It is a very tough election for our party. And it

:20:23. > :20:27.is very clear that if people want the Welsh Liberal Democrats to

:20:28. > :20:33.continue to have that role in the National Assembly, we need to get

:20:34. > :20:36.out -- they need to get out and vote for us. We are the only party that

:20:37. > :20:40.is really listening to people, recognising that there is more to be

:20:41. > :20:45.done... But is anyone listening to you? I believe so. People need to

:20:46. > :20:52.know that they are putting together public services right in Wales,

:20:53. > :20:55.making sure there is a GP for them, making sure there is a nurse on a

:20:56. > :20:57.hospital ward. Kirsty Williams, thank you very much.

:20:58. > :20:59.And tomorrow Nick will be speaking to the leader

:21:00. > :21:03.We will be hearing plenty from politicians about what they say

:21:04. > :21:05.they will deliver if they form the next Welsh Government.

:21:06. > :21:09.Over the next few weeks, you've got the chance to

:21:10. > :21:13.tell them, as part of our My Manifesto 2016 project.

:21:14. > :21:15.Here is what people in Llanrwst and Conwy told us

:21:16. > :21:21.they would do if they were in charge of Wales.

:21:22. > :21:29.Put a lot more money into the National Health Service, that is the

:21:30. > :21:32.main concern, that it is just going down. Cheaper childcare would be

:21:33. > :21:40.really helpful for working families. I would like to see the old cottage

:21:41. > :21:44.hospitals used. Reduce the salaries of us and the members by 20%. --

:21:45. > :21:45.assembly members. To tell us what you would do

:21:46. > :21:48.if you were First Minister, you can also get in touch

:21:49. > :21:50.on e-mail - Facebook and Twitter -

:21:51. > :21:54.you can find us at @BBCWalesToday and follow the hashtag

:21:55. > :21:55.#MyManifesto2016. We will be passing on your

:21:56. > :21:57.ideas to whoever is Rugby, and the England prop

:21:58. > :22:04.Government from May the 6th. disciplinary hearing tonight

:22:05. > :22:07.for comments he made to Wales' Samson Lee about

:22:08. > :22:10.his traveller background during a game at

:22:11. > :22:13.Twickenham last month. Tomos Dafydd has been

:22:14. > :22:25.following the story. It has been going on for five hours,

:22:26. > :22:30.it started at 2pm this afternoon and know I just yet. Joe Marler is

:22:31. > :22:34.facing a three-man disciplinary panel. I am told an announcement is

:22:35. > :22:39.expected within the next few hours, sometime this evening. Joe Marler

:22:40. > :22:45.was Howard saying gypsy boy to Samson Lee. Samson Lee has been open

:22:46. > :22:50.about his traveller heritage. Many are expecting a ban, instead Joe

:22:51. > :22:53.Marler exit -- escaped punishment. This has left the Six Nations

:22:54. > :22:57.disciplinary process under almost as much scrutiny as Joe Marler himself.

:22:58. > :23:01.It has also raised questions over the way the sport deals with racist

:23:02. > :23:07.remarks. Simeone unhappy with the way the complaint was handled, so

:23:08. > :23:11.World Rugby stepped in and before today's hearing, Joe Marler

:23:12. > :23:19.apologised and said he will not accept any punishment, but tonight,

:23:20. > :23:22.almost a month after those commons, we are still no closer. -- said he

:23:23. > :23:24.will accept. But I get the feeling Benaz

:23:25. > :23:36.is about to say You're feeling is correct!

:23:37. > :23:44.Temperatures today reached a high of 14 Celsius for most of us, but

:23:45. > :23:46.turning unsettled tonight. Here is the satellite picture showing lovely

:23:47. > :23:50.sunshine earlier today. But the cloud has been filling throughout

:23:51. > :23:57.the afternoon. Just fair weather cloud, it has still been bright and

:23:58. > :24:01.a lot of dry weather. Tonight, it is clear at first, but the cloud

:24:02. > :24:09.thickens from the West. After midnight, we will see rain

:24:10. > :24:12.approaching parts of Anglesey, Ceredigion and Gwyneth. Temperature

:24:13. > :24:18.not dropping too much, six Celsius at its lowest. -- Ceredigion and win

:24:19. > :24:24.it. Tomorrow, starting with some blustery showers, notice the squeeze

:24:25. > :24:28.it has a bias. That rain clearing first thing, behind it some strong

:24:29. > :24:33.winds coming from the West. Showers continuing to pack in. Could be

:24:34. > :24:37.heavy at times and a mix of hail and thunder, but the wind will push them

:24:38. > :24:41.on quickly and there is some sunshine in between. Top

:24:42. > :24:44.temperatures from nine to 10 Celsius. Tomorrow night, more

:24:45. > :24:51.showers to come. The potential for some snow on higher ground. Drier

:24:52. > :24:55.interludes in between. Overnight, the temperatures getting down to

:24:56. > :24:58.around three Celsius. Thursday, we have another front bringing more

:24:59. > :25:05.rain. A much cooler fuel compared with today. First thing on Thursday,

:25:06. > :25:09.a wet start, the rain pushing South and East words, turning showery in

:25:10. > :25:15.the afternoon, still some brisk winds coming from a north-westerly

:25:16. > :25:18.direction. Temperatures 9-10 cells. The unsettled theme will continue

:25:19. > :25:20.into the weekend but the winds should ease little.

:25:21. > :25:22.I'll have an update for you here at eight o'clock

:25:23. > :25:26.That's Wales Today, thank you for watching.

:25:27. > :25:32.From all of us on the programme, good evening.
