Climate activists, camped alongside the UK's largest opencast coal mine | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
in Merthyr Tydfil, are holding a day of preparations ahead | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
of what they're calling "mass action" tomorrow. | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
The 'Reclaim the Power' group say they'll attempt to halt operations | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
at the Ffos y Fran mine, as our Environment Correspondent, | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
At the End Coal Now camp, workshops are well under way | :00:27. | :00:33. | |
for those taking part in tomorrow's demonstrations. | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
They have occupied a blustery patch of open moorland | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
in between the existing Ffos y Fran mine and the site of another | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
proposed opencast operation in the Rhymney Valley. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
We have just signed the Paris agreement which commits us | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
to keeping warming to 1.5 degrees which is totally incompatible | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
So we're here to make a stand against that with the local | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
Opencast mining has seen something of a resurgence in South | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
There are five sites currently in operation supplying | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Aberthaw Power Station in the Vale of Glamorgan and the steelworks | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
If we're not going to mine it locally in South Wales in the future | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
it will have to come from elsewhere and one of the biggest producers | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
If you say let's shut down everything in South Wales, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
You are asking for a larger carbon footprint. | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
But this is about more than the local dispute. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
By tomorrow they reckon they will be around 400 activists | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
from all across the UK from as far afield as France | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
They are calling for a suspension of opencast mining across the UK, | :01:41. | :01:48. | |
timing the protests so that it falls days before local and | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
In Wales, Plaid Cymru, the Liberal Democrats | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
and the Green Party says they will oppose any | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Labour, the Conservatives and Ukip say it should be down | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
These protesters will tomorrow attempt to halt operations at Ffos y | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Fran to try and urge politicians to call time on coal. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Those in charge of the mine say their concern will be the safety | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Police have named a man who died in a car crash near Mold yesterday, | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
He came from the Nannerch area, not far from where | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The search for a fisherman who's been missing since his boat sank off | :02:27. | :02:35. | |
the Pembrokeshire coast last Thursday has ended. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Dan Willington from Carew hasn't been seen since the vessel hit rocks | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
His father was rescued, but later died. | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
With three days to go until the Assembly election, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
the parties are making their final push for votes. | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
Labour is appealing for left-leaning supporters of other parties | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
The Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and the Liberal Democrats have | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
been attacking Labour's record in Government. | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
He is the man Labour has put front and centre of its election campaign | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
and with the opinion polls suggesting the party could concede | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
political ground on Thursday Carwyn Jones today made this appeal. Over | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
the next few days we will focus on getting out the vote and making sure | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
those who promised to vote Labour vote Labour and secondly of course | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
saying to people who live in constituencies where it is a | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
straight fight between Labour and the Tories, lend us your vote. Don't | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
wake up with a Tory AM representing you on Friday. The majority of tight | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
contests will be between themselves and the Conservatives. The focus is | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
what they say is Labour's mismanagement of the NHS. It can't | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
be right that on polling day that people will reward labour for | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
underinvestment in our health service and a doubling of NHS | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
waiting times. What the Conservatives are promising our | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
year-on-year investment, cutting waiting times and the creation of a | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
cancer treatment plan for Wales. Plaid Cymru believes its campaign | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
has moved up a gear in recent weeks. Opinion polls suggest the party is | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
in second place behind Labour. We have had 17 years of Labour | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
government and Wales is desperate for change. Plaid Cymru is a | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
progressive party. People want change. Elections have not exactly | :04:32. | :04:39. | |
been kind to the Liberal Democrats in recent years. In the shadow of | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
one of the greatest leaders they know they are fighting for their | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
very existence in Cardiff Bay. If the Welsh Liberal Democrats are not | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
in the assembly they will be nobody there to talk about the issues that | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
are sidelined or forgotten by the other parties. We have consistently | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
highlighted the need to improvement of health services in Wales. Ukip | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
poses the biggest threat to the Lib Dems with opinion polls suggesting | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
they could win seats for the first time. With days to go until the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
voting starts all pie -- five parties have it all to play for. | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Football and The New Saints have completed a second successive treble | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
after beating Airbus 2-0 at the Racecourse. | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
Saints had already won the Welsh Premier League | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
and the Word Cup for the third season in a row. | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
It was Airbus' first time in the final. | :05:32. | :05:32. | |
Let's get the bank holiday weather forecast. | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
It has been a lovely afternoon and we can look forward to a chilly | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
night and those temperatures will recover as we head into the end of | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
the week. The odd isolated shower tonight but the bulk of the country | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
will be tried with temperatures down to four Celsius. I pressure is in | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
charge of our weather tomorrow and that will bring a settled way. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
Tomorrow morning, a chilly start with some sunshine. The odd isolated | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
shower but most of us getting away with a dry day. It will be breezy | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
with temperatures between 11 Celsius and 13 Celsius. Wednesday, high | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
still in charge and we can look forward to more fine conditions. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Temperatures getting up to 15 Celsius. More sunshine towards the | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
end of the week. I'll be back with our | :06:25. | :06:25. | |
late update at 10.45pm. the club since October. They have to | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
win to avoid the drop. Bidding has not come easy | :06:35. | :06:36. |
