Welocme to Wales Today. Our top stories: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A warning tonight, millions of pounds of EU funds destined | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
for Wales could stop even if the UK stays in the European Union. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Talks end between Labour and Plaid Cymru about | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
breaking the deadlock on the next Welsh Government. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Both sides will put the deal to their members tomorow. | :00:19. | :00:35. | |
The campaign over whether the UK stays or leaves the European Union | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
has stepped up with Leave campaigners warning that there's no | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
guarantee Wales would continue to get EU funding after 2020, | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
That claim was dismissed by senior Labour figures campaigning | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
in Merthyr Tydfil who stressed the benefits for businesses | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
One vote passes but another is fast approaching | :00:58. | :01:08. | |
and the EU referendum is a once in a generation opportunity. | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Therefore, despite being in Wales on government business, | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
this Conservative minister found the time to make her case as to why | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
We are but one voice around a large table and we can't effec the change | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
Increasingly we are seeing that we ar enot able to overturn | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
the votes that take place in the European Parliament | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
and decision-making is now working against Britian's interests. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Projects like the all Wales coastal path and | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
the Swansea University campus have benefited from EU money | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
As one of the relatively poorer parts of the Union, Wales has | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
received billions of pounds in structural funding, although some | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
This fish farm on Anglesey was not monitored properly, | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
while this rural heritage centre in Gwynedd failed. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
The conventional wisdom is that Wales | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
receives more from the European Union than it pays. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
It is taxpayers' money that goes to Wales and comes back to | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
You get money back, there is no assurance that you get | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
The Minister's argument is that as the | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
EU expands further and more countries from Eastern Europe join | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
In 2007, when Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU there were | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
concerns that Wales would get pulled out on that level of funding | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
but that turned out not to bew the case so it is, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
potentially something that might be of concern but not | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
For members of the public and professional politicians | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
alike, it is certainly a debate that has passions running high. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
As Labour's pro-EU battle bus rolls into | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
Merthyr Tydfil there is a sense that it is | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
going up a gear but the party knows it has a battle on its hands | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
because the vote on June 23rd could hinge on how Labour voters vote. | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
I have never said that this is a walk in the park | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
This is a profound decision and we have to make the arguments. | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
41 years aog Britain voted by 70% to go into this. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
It was different organisation back then. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Yes, then there were nine member states, now there are 28. | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Then, the world was not so interdependent as it is now, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
then there was not a World Trade Organisation or a Channel Tunnel. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
Now there is a more strong reasons to remain in the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
There is just over five weeks left until you decide. | :03:46. | :03:55. | |
Talks have ended between Labour and Plaid Cymru on breaking | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the deadlock on the next Welsh Government. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Labour, the largest party following the election earlier this | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
month, have been prevented so far from forming a new administration. | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Last week's vote for a new First Minister saw | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
Carwyn Jones and the Plaid leader Leanne Wood tied on 29 votes each . | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Let's talk to our political editor Nick Servini. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
It is probably overstating it to describe it as a breakthrough. It | :04:20. | :04:32. | |
doesn't feel 1 million miles away from it. We had a joint statement | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
from both Plaid Cymru and labour. Both sides are happy with the way it | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
has gone. They will go to their respective Assembly Members in the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
morning to put the proposals to them. The leadership are going to | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
have a good idea of what is acceptable to their own AMs. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Nevertheless, they will still face questions. From the Labour side, the | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
questions will be, as the Labour leadership conceded too much ground | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
to Plaid Cymru? Likewise on the other side of the coin, from Plaid | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Cymru AMs to the party leadership. As it gained enough of a victory and | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
NFL significant gain as a result of the dramatic political scenes last | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
week when Leanne Wood, with the support of the Conservatives and | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Ukip, managed to block Carwyn Jones's nomination. What is likely | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
to happen now? The anticipation is the nomination | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
will happen on Wednesday this week, the week after it was supposed to | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
have happened to stop presumably without the drama. That's the cakes | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
that the chain of events that will allow Carwyn Jones to form a | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
cabinet. -- kick-start. We should have a Labour minority Welsh | :05:52. | :05:52. | |
Government in place. Police are investigating the murder | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
of a 73-year-old man from Ogmore Vale which occurred | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
sometime over the last 24 hours. A 49-year-old local man has been | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
arrested on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
of a 21-year-old woman. Passengers from north Wales heading | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
to Manchester Airport can now catch Arriva Trains Wales says | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
the increase to 57 direct return journeys will improve the local | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
economy by bringing in more passengers from | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
the north west of England. But Network Rail says Arriva Trains' | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
move puts unmanageable Police in Pembrokeshire | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
are investigating the sudden death of a 15-year-old boy | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
near Pembroke School earlier today. We understand the emergency services | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
were called to Pembroke School shortly before midday today | :06:48. | :06:53. | |

A department where he was later Dyfed-Powys Police say | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
they are continuing to investigate the circumstances | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
surrounding the 15-year-old's death. We understand his next of kin have | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
been informed as has Her Majesty's Pembrokeshire Council say the school | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
remained open following today's incident but a number | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
of pupils at the school were clearly very upset as news trickled | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
through of the death This has been a very | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
sad day for the school. We understand special police | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
officers have been deployed here to support pupils who have been | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
affected and to ensure their But clearly, a very sad day | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
for the school, for the local community following the tragic death | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
of this 15-year-old boy. Ben Price, BBC Wales | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Today, Pembroke. The Liberty group wants to open | :07:54. | :08:15. | |
their factory. They closed it in October with the loss of 14 jobs. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
They are bidding for tighter steel and says they have increased the | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
workforce to 40. So the Crown Court has heard how a rugby player on a | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
night out was deliberately punched from behind before he died. Jonathan | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Thomas, who played for Swansea, died following the incident on Princes | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Way in November. Daniel Shepherd denies manslaughter and the case | :08:42. | :08:42. | |
continues. He used himself as a human shield | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
to protect his fiancee. Mathew James who was shot three | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
times when terrorists attacked a beach in Tunisia has been | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
officially recognised as a hero Rhondda Cynon Taf Council | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
conferred on him the freedom It is the biggest honour any council | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
can bestow, Matthew James, I would like to say how proud I am | :08:59. | :09:11. | |
today to receive this award. And know you are | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
proud of me as well. 30 British people were | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
killed in the attack. This guy had walked down | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
the front of the beach Looked over then and moved, well, | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
I pushed everyone out of the way. People were running and screaming | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
and I just, no matter how hard The next minute, Matthew | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
pushed me to the floor. I rolled over to see | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
him lying on the sand I pulled the sunbed over | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
to give us a bit of protection and try to help him as much | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
as I could until he said it was Saera told me she was | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
one of the last of the I just thought, I'd lost | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
him, that he was gone. They were just closing the meeting | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
when somebody turned round and said, is there | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
a Saera Wilson in the room? I turned around and they said, | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
I've got some guy on the phone refusing treatment until | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
he knows you are OK. I know we spoke to several | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
of your friends at the time who were describing you as a hero and just | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
saying they couldn't believe this was their mate who had done | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
such an amazing thing. Are they still treating you like | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
that hero? They just want you to | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
buy the next pint now. What are your plans | :11:05. | :11:07. | |

the business back up. And try to live life to the max now | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
instead of worrying about tomorrow. We've enjoyed a few bright few days | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
but is it set to last? We have enjoyed plenty of sunshine | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
