Welcome to the programme.

Tonight's headlines: Welsh Labour's Carwyn Jones

is reappointed as First Minister.

There's a deal with Plaid Cymru, who have already fired a warning shot.

Paul Trollope is the new boss of Cardiff City.

He has given one simple aim - promotion to the Premier League.

Good evening.

After a week of deadlock, it is official.

Carwyn Jones has been elected Wales' First Minister.

He has announced a one hundred day plan of action

for the Welsh Government.

A deal was struck between Labour and Plaid Cymru, but both parties

say this is not a coalition.

Plaids' leader - Leanne Wood - didn't pull any punches,

accusing Labour of bullying tactics last week.

Our Political Editor reports.

A week after it was supposed to have happened, Carwyn Jones

was officially nominated as First Minister, and it was far

from being a victory speech after the events of last week,

when his nomination was effectively blocked by the opposition parties.

For the fifth time in a row, the Welsh people have asked

Welsh Labour to form government and they have said proceeds

but with caution and humility, because we have no majority.

It was in marked contrast to the tone adopted by Plaid Cymru

leader Leanne Wood, who wasted no time in going on the attack.

If that party thinks they're bullying last week will stop

Plaid Cymru from voting in a similar way in the future to hold

you to account, then think again.

I am not sorry for what happened last week and I will do it again

if I have to make Labour realise that they are running

a minority government.

You would be forgiven for thinking that the two parties had not been

in talks with each other over the past few days to try to break

the deadlock that had prevented the formation of a new government.

But that is what has happened and they have agreed

a plan to work together.

The deal means the new Labour administration will prioritise,

among other things, the setting up of a new medical treatment fund

and will review the way patients are assessed,

there will also be a plan to increase the nub

of GPs and the creation of a national

infrastructure commission.

there will also be a plan to increase the number

of GPs and the creation of a national

infrastructure commission.

But there was no agreement on some of the subjects that

split the two parties, such as reform of the voting system

and proposals for a ?1 billion M4 relief road around Newport.

What we have done is identified areas of common ground

between the two parties.

There are a few areas where that has happened.

This was looking at particular issues.

The leader of the Welsh Conservatives said there were still

many unanswered questions.

On infrastructure projects, large infrastructure projects,

it is important that some clarity is brought around the debate

of the M4 relief road.

This is an opportunity now for a new government to map out

and press the green light on what the option is.

Ukip promised to is shake things up and they certainly proved

controversial when the leader of the party's group, Neil Hamilton,

was accused of using sexist language for this description

of Kirsty Williams and Leanne Wood.

I am afraid these two ladies have just made themselves political

concubines in Carwyn Jones' harem.

What a gruesome prospect that must be.

Whatever the prospects, the time has finally come

for the fifth Assembly term to begin.

The next step is a new cabinet which will be put together

over the next few days, after Carwyn Jones has been sworn

in as First Minister.

Unemployment has continued to fall in Wales and is once again lower

than the UK average, according to latest

official figures.

The rate of unemployment for January to March fell to 4.8%,

below the UK average of 5.1%.

The former Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys has

strongly criticised Carmarthenshire council and some police officers.

Writing on his personal website, Christopher Salmon -

who lost the job following an election earlier this month -

likened the local authority to a Sicilian cartel

with a bullying nature.

He also says some police officers need to learn

they work for the public and not for themselves.

Carmarthenshire council said it would not respond to the criticisms.

A "stronger, clearer" devolution settlement for Wales.

That's the promise from the Queen's Speech,

at the State Opening of Parliament.

The Wales Bill is one of 21 new laws promised and one of 16

which will affect people living in Wales.

Here is our Parliamentary Correspondent.

It is something people who live in urban areas take for granted -

high-speed broadband.

But for Frank Jordan, and many like him in rural

areas, it's a dream.

Frank lives in a hamlet near St Asaph in Denbighshire.

You can't have a phone on and the laptop or the television

and the laptop, it has got to be one or the other.

You also notice at peak times when maybe the children arrive

from school and more people are using it, the signal

strength does go down.

The Queen's Speech promised the right for every household

to access high-speed broadband.

This offers so many opportunities to communities in rural Wales

that sometimes have not had that fast access,

they will now have access to that which will provide so many

economic opportunities.

Some of the new laws announced today sounded a bit familiar.

Establish a strong and lasting devolution settlement in Wales.

A strong and lasting settlement is what the government promised last

year, only to be forced by opponents to rethink its plans.

The new, revised Wales Bill will offer similar changes.

More power for the Welsh government and Assembly over

transport and energy.

And more say over its own affairs, the right to call itself

a parliament and allow 16-year-olds the vote.

But with details yet to emerge, opposition parties are sceptical.

I don't think there was much mention of Wales in it.

We heard about the Northern Powerhouse but we have not had any

dates about the electrification of the railway, nothing

at all in North Wales, and nothing more about the tidal lagoon.

These are important infrastructure projects and I would

like to have a bit more.

We need equality with Scotland.

That will be our aim when that Bill is presented.

But the Wales of the future could look rather different,

in politics and from space.

Llandbedr Airfield, near Harlech, is still in the running to be chosen

as the UK's new spaceport.

But with a final decision still to be taken, we will have

to wait a while before blast-off.

Sport, and Paul Trollope is the new Head Coach

at Cardiff City Football Club.

He succeeds Russell Slade who has taken up the post

of Head of Football.

The 43-year-old former Wales midfielder says it has

been his long-time ambition to take the reins at the club.

Every coach, every manager has their own personal philosophies

of how they want the game played, what they expect of the players,

both on and off the pitch, and I will be bringing my

own thoughts to that.

There will be fresh blood in the staff as well.

The National Trust is looking for a tenant farmer to rent

a ?1 million farm in Llandudno, for the price of just ?1 a year.

It is offering the keys to its 145 acre site on the Great Orme

to a farmer who is willing to help preserve its fragile landscape.

Sunshine and showers today, and the weather remains

in a changeable mood.

Dry for a while tomorrow, but there is more rain on the way.

Most places dry tonight, some clear spells and turning

quite cool, especcially in the countryside,

with temperatures falling into single figures.

Tomorrow's chart shows a frontal system over Ireland

and that is heading our way.

Tomorrow morning looks quite nice, dry and bright.

Some hazy sunshine with cloud spreading from the west.

Across the rest of the UK, some rain for Northern Ireland,

and that will spread across much of Scotland during the day

and eventually into many northern and western parts

through the afternoon.

Further south and east, staying dry and bright,

some hazy sunshine and quite warm.

Up to 20 Celsius in London.

Closer to home, the weather will go downhill tomorrow afternoon.

The cloud lowering, with outbreaks of rain.

Turning misty too with some hill fog, and the breeze picking up.

Top temperatures, 14-18 Celsius.

Tomorrow evening, the rain, mist and drizzle will clear,

much drier overnight and fairly mild with a southwesterly breeze.

Friday will bring some reasonable weather.

Dry and bright for a while, a little sunshine.

But it looks like more rain will spread from the southwest

during the afternoon.

The wind increasing as well.

The weekend will be changeable.

Breezy at times, some rain and heavy showers,

wet and breezy for a time, but not a total washout.

There should be some drier interlude and some sunshine as well.

Temperatures nothing special over the weekend,

but the sun is quite strong at this time of year,

so when the sun is out it should feel pleasantly warm.

Goodnight.

That's all from Wales Today.

The Wales Report is up next, but from all of us on the programme

thanks for watching.

Goodnight.
