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

:00:00. > :00:00.A warning tonight, millions of pounds of EU funds destined

:00:07. > :00:12.for Wales could stop even if the UK stays in the European Union.

:00:13. > :00:14.Talks end between Labour and Plaid Cymru about

:00:15. > :00:18.breaking the deadlock on the next Welsh Government.

:00:19. > :00:35.Both sides will put the deal to their members tomorow.

:00:36. > :00:39.The campaign over whether the UK stays or leaves the European Union

:00:40. > :00:43.has stepped up with Leave campaigners warning that there's no

:00:44. > :00:47.guarantee Wales would continue to get EU funding after 2020,

:00:48. > :00:53.That claim was dismissed by senior Labour figures campaigning

:00:54. > :00:57.in Merthyr Tydfil who stressed the benefits for businesses

:00:58. > :01:08.One vote passes but another is fast approaching

:01:09. > :01:13.and the EU referendum is a once in a generation opportunity.

:01:14. > :01:16.Therefore, despite being in Wales on government business,

:01:17. > :01:21.this Conservative minister found the time to make her case as to why

:01:22. > :01:28.We are but one voice around a large table and we can't effec the change

:01:29. > :01:34.Increasingly we are seeing that we ar enot able to overturn

:01:35. > :01:38.the votes that take place in the European Parliament

:01:39. > :01:42.and decision-making is now working against Britian's interests.

:01:43. > :01:44.Projects like the all Wales coastal path and

:01:45. > :01:49.the Swansea University campus have benefited from EU money

:01:50. > :01:54.As one of the relatively poorer parts of the Union, Wales has

:01:55. > :01:59.received billions of pounds in structural funding, although some

:02:00. > :02:03.This fish farm on Anglesey was not monitored properly,

:02:04. > :02:07.while this rural heritage centre in Gwynedd failed.

:02:08. > :02:10.The conventional wisdom is that Wales

:02:11. > :02:12.receives more from the European Union than it pays.

:02:13. > :02:16.It is taxpayers' money that goes to Wales and comes back to

:02:17. > :02:20.You get money back, there is no assurance that you get

:02:21. > :02:24.The Minister's argument is that as the

:02:25. > :02:27.EU expands further and more countries from Eastern Europe join

:02:28. > :02:36.In 2007, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU there were

:02:37. > :02:39.concerns that Wales would get pulled out on that level of funding

:02:40. > :02:43.but that turned out not to bew the case so it is,

:02:44. > :02:47.potentially something that might be of concern but not

:02:48. > :02:54.For members of the public and professional politicians

:02:55. > :02:58.alike, it is certainly a debate that has passions running high.

:02:59. > :03:02.As Labour's pro-EU battle bus rolls into

:03:03. > :03:04.Merthyr Tydfil there is a sense that it is

:03:05. > :03:08.going up a gear but the party knows it has a battle on its hands

:03:09. > :03:15.because the vote on June 23rd could hinge on how Labour voters vote.

:03:16. > :03:18.I have never said that this is a walk in the park

:03:19. > :03:24.This is a profound decision and we have to make the arguments.

:03:25. > :03:28.41 years aog Britain voted by 70% to go into this.

:03:29. > :03:32.It was different organisation back then.

:03:33. > :03:35.Yes, then there were nine member states, now there are 28.

:03:36. > :03:38.Then, the world was not so interdependent as it is now,

:03:39. > :03:41.then there was not a World Trade Organisation or a Channel Tunnel.

:03:42. > :03:45.Now there is a more strong reasons to remain in the

:03:46. > :03:55.There is just over five weeks left until you decide.

:03:56. > :03:59.Talks have ended between Labour and Plaid Cymru on breaking

:04:00. > :04:03.the deadlock on the next Welsh Government.

:04:04. > :04:07.Labour, the largest party following the election earlier this

:04:08. > :04:10.month, have been prevented so far from forming a new administration.

:04:11. > :04:12.Last week's vote for a new First Minister saw

:04:13. > :04:17.Carwyn Jones and the Plaid leader Leanne Wood tied on 29 votes each .

:04:18. > :04:19.Let's talk to our political editor Nick Servini.

:04:20. > :04:32.It is probably overstating it to describe it as a breakthrough. It

:04:33. > :04:38.doesn't feel 1 million miles away from it. We had a joint statement

:04:39. > :04:44.from both Plaid Cymru and labour. Both sides are happy with the way it

:04:45. > :04:49.has gone. They will go to their respective Assembly Members in the

:04:50. > :04:52.morning to put the proposals to them. The leadership are going to

:04:53. > :04:58.have a good idea of what is acceptable to their own AMs.

:04:59. > :05:04.Nevertheless, they will still face questions. From the Labour side, the

:05:05. > :05:08.questions will be, as the Labour leadership conceded too much ground

:05:09. > :05:13.to Plaid Cymru? Likewise on the other side of the coin, from Plaid

:05:14. > :05:19.Cymru AMs to the party leadership. As it gained enough of a victory and

:05:20. > :05:24.NFL significant gain as a result of the dramatic political scenes last

:05:25. > :05:27.week when Leanne Wood, with the support of the Conservatives and

:05:28. > :05:34.Ukip, managed to block Carwyn Jones's nomination. What is likely

:05:35. > :05:38.to happen now? The anticipation is the nomination

:05:39. > :05:42.will happen on Wednesday this week, the week after it was supposed to

:05:43. > :05:45.have happened to stop presumably without the drama. That's the cakes

:05:46. > :05:51.that the chain of events that will allow Carwyn Jones to form a

:05:52. > :05:52.cabinet. -- kick-start. We should have a Labour minority Welsh

:05:53. > :05:55.Government in place. Police are investigating the murder

:05:56. > :05:57.of a 73-year-old man from Ogmore Vale which occurred

:05:58. > :06:01.sometime over the last 24 hours. A 49-year-old local man has been

:06:02. > :06:06.arrested on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder

:07:32. > :07:37.sad day for the school. We understand special police

:09:19. > :09:24.proud of me as well. 30 British people were

:09:25. > :09:34.killed in the attack. This guy had walked down

:09:35. > :09:41.the front of the beach Looked over then and moved, well,

:09:42. > :09:52.I pushed everyone out of the way. People were running and screaming

:09:53. > :10:01.and I just, no matter how hard The next minute, Matthew

:10:02. > :10:06.pushed me to the floor. I rolled over to see

:10:07. > :10:14.him lying on the sand I pulled the sunbed over

:10:15. > :10:20.to give us a bit of protection and try to help him as much

:10:21. > :10:26.as I could until he said it was Saera told me she was

:10:27. > :10:30.one of the last of the I just thought, I'd lost

:10:31. > :10:35.him, that he was gone. They were just closing the meeting

:10:36. > :10:39.when somebody turned round and said, is there

:10:40. > :10:42.a Saera Wilson in the room? I turned around and they said,

:10:43. > :10:45.I've got some guy on the phone refusing treatment until

:10:46. > :10:47.he knows you are OK. I know we spoke to several

:10:48. > :10:52.of your friends at the time who were describing you as a hero and just

:10:53. > :10:56.saying they couldn't believe this was their mate who had done
