In the past hour, Liberal Democrat Kirsty Williams has been given | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
a cabinet job in Carwyn Jones' Labour government. | :00:15. | :00:22. | |
Carwyn Jones continues to try to reach out to the other parties. He | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
has reached out to Plaid Cymru and now a Lib Dem is at the heart of the | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Labour government. Also tonight, Richard Osman | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
from Carmarthen is believed to be among the 66 people on board | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
the EgyptAir plane missing John Sabine's mummified remains | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
were discovered 20 An inquest hears he was killed | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
by his late wife, who'd She kept up the facade that | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
John Sabine had either left her or was with another | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
woman or indeed had died. He was also kept on the voters | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
register, his pension was claimed School transport costs to one Powys | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
comprehensive could quadruple. Parents issue a legal | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
challenge to the council. And protecting the paths | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
of Snowdonia - how visitors and businesses will be asked | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
to help foot the bill. The First Minister Carwyn Jones has | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
announced his cabinet. Liberal Democrat AM | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Kirsty Williams has been appointed Carwyn Jones says it reflects | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
the need for progressive Our politcal editor Nick Servini | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
is at the Welsh government's offices in Cardiff, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
where the cabinet was announced. It has been a dramatic couple of | :01:47. | :02:02. | |
weeks for Welsh politics and after the theatre and drama of the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
Assembly in Cardiff Bay, the action has come here to the heart of | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
government in the centre of Cardiff. And in keeping with what we have | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
seen of late, there were some real surprises here. Some big changes, as | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
expected, at the top of the big briefs of the economy and health, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
but it will be the change at the top of education that will get all the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
headlines. Smiles all round as Carwyn Jones's | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
new look cabinet lines up for the first time. There were many familiar | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
faces from the Labour Party, one that was conspicuous by its absence | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
was the Liberal Democrat offered the job as Education Secretary, Kirsty | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Williams. She needs to get her appointment ratified by a special | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
Lib conference on the weekend. Earlier, Carwyn Jones was sworn in | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
as First Minister after receiving approval from the Queen and after a | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
dramatic week in which his initial nomination was blocked by opposition | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
parties. Bringing Kirsty Williams into the cabinet still does not give | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
the party and overall majority at the Assembly but Carwyn Jones said | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
he wanted to reach out. First of all, I meant what I said on | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Wednesday. I don't want to be tribal for tribalism's sake. I think she | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
will be a very good minister. And 30 makes a difference in the chamber. I | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
recognise the arithmetic. If you have 29, you are always fun double | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
two a no-confidence vote. But Kirsty is someone who can do a very good | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
job. These standout appointment is of course Kirsty Williams. In making | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
that decision, Carwyn Jones has stressed his lack of tribalism. For | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Kirsty Williams it is a case of poacher turned gamekeeper, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
particularly after she laid into his record on education in the build-up | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
to the Assembly election. Instead of ministers, the new Cabinet ministers | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
will be called secretaries. And this is its make-up. Vaughan Gething, | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
Kirsty Williams, Ken Skates, Mark Drakeford, Carl Sargeant, Lesley | :04:22. | :04:34. | |
Griffiths and Jane Hutt. Julie James and Rebecca Evans are ministers and | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Alun Davies, who was sacked from the government, is backing from the cold | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
as the Minister for lifelong learning and Welsh language. The | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Health Secretary faces major challenges, bringing down waiting | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
times and dealing with the health board covering North Wales, Betsy | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
to, which is in special measures. In education, the new secretary will | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
oversee major changes, including a new curriculum. And for the economy | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
secretary, top of the in tray will be a decision on controversial plans | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
for an M4 relief road around Newport. So it is the same | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
challenges as before the election but there is a new team in place to | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
try to deal with them over the next five years. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Nick, how big a decision is this by Carwyn Jones to bring | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
in a Liberal Democrat into the heart of government? | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
Let's talk about it from Kirsty Williams' perspective. The real | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
danger is, the last remaining Lib Dem in the Assembly, is that | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
identity going to get swallowed up in the Labour machine, even though | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
she will remain a Lib Dem politician? Speaking to the party | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
tonight, they say there is going to be a danger of that happening anyway | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
so you might as well be in a place where you can make a real | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
difference. And no doubt opponents will dredge up some of the comments | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
she said in the past that have been highly critical of labour's | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
education policy and she is going to have to deal with those. From Carwyn | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Jones' perspective, one danger is that he has overlooked senior Labour | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
figures for a plum job like that but it is all part of his attempts to | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
try to reach out to other parties. The question is, how successful will | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
he be? Plaid Cymru are seeing the Assembly is too cosy and the | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
Conservatives are saying the appointment of Kirsty Williams is | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
anti-democratic because the party did so badly in the Assembly | :06:38. | :06:38. | |
election. It's feared a Welshman could be one | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
of the 66 people on the EgyptAir flight which disappeared over | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
the Mediterranean Sea. 40-year-old Richard Osman, | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
who grew up in Tanerdy, is a geologist who worked for a gold | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
mining company in Egypt. It's understood he had been | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
a passenger on the flight from Paris to Cairo which crashed in the early | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
hours of this morning. Still no clarity yet on what caused | :06:56. | :07:12. | |
the crash of the EgyptAir plane. But that the investigation got under | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
way, details began to trickle out on social media sites about the | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
passenger list and the 66 people who had been on board. It is known there | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
was one British and and that is believed to be 40-year-old Richard | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Osman. A geologist who worked for a gold mining company with offices in | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
each, Australia and Jersey, he grew up and went to school in Carmarthen. | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
The eldest of four children, his Egyptian father moved to Wales to | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
work as a consultant in Swansea. The family also have links to the | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
mumbles. Their former neighbours were too upset to talk but told us | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
they remember him well. The Foreign Office have not yet confirmed he is | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
the missing British passenger but First Minister Carwyn Jones said his | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
officials will be using with them, saying he was horrified to hear | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
reports that a Welshman may be among the victims. | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
A man whose mummified remains were discovered behind flats | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
in Beddau in Rhondda Cynon Taf had been unlawfully killed by his wife | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
An inquest has heard how Lee Ann Sabine fractured her husband | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
John's skull with a stone garden ornament, some time between February | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
However, his body wasn't found until just after she died | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
It was a call to police from a housing officer saying they believe | :08:29. | :08:44. | |
tennis had found a medical skeleton in the back of the flats that | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
sparked a murder enquiry. Scenes of crime officers spent most of the day | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
at the property backing evidence after the suspect package in the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
garden had turned up to BD mummified remains of a man, later identified | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
as John Sabine, who had lived there with his wife Lee Ann Sabine up | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
until 1997. The inquest into the gruesome circumstances of his death | :09:08. | :09:16. | |
has been launched. The coroner was told the body was wrapped in many | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
layers of material. A subsequent postmortem examination revealed the | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
body to be that of a man in his 60s who had died of a blunt force trauma | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
to the head. And this was the unusual weapon the pathologist | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
believed was used. A stone frog will -- weighing 1.1 kilograms. The | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
indentations in the skull a perfect match to the shape. Through DNA, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
John Sabine was identified and the murder enquiry concluded his wife | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Lee Ann Sabine murdered him. But she died of cancer just seven weeks | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
before John's body was discovered. It was not moved until 2014, when | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
she asked two friends to take the role that carpet from her flat down | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
to the garden in who we bin. Unwittingly, they had moved the body | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
for her. They had lived all over the UK, New Zealand, Australia. They | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
kept no close friends, no close family members and she kept that | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
these bizarre that John had either left are all was with another women | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
or had indeed died. He was also kept on the voters register, his pension | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
was claimed and sadly, no one missed John Sabine. As the investigation | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
continued, please unravel the double two at family past. They abandoned | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
their five children in New Zealand. Once grown up, they pursued them | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
live on TV looking for answers. And John Sabine also had a family from | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
his first marriage. His son Christopher, now in his 60s, only | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
knew his father for a brief six-month period. When they said | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
they had found a body, I was very surprised. I could not believe it. | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
We did not know what happened. We tried to contact them on numerous | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
occasions but they never replied to any calls. We did not know whether | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
he was dead already or not. We had no idea. But you knew he was living | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
in south Wales? No. Michelle James discovered the body and police | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
questioned her for a while. She was a summary did but she says it was an | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
episode in her life she will never recover from. I have lost sleep | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
through it, self harm as well, which I have never done before. It turned | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
my whole life and side down. I never thought anybody could do something | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
like that. How is the evil out there like that? People might say it might | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
be one in a million it might happen to, but be careful of your | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
neighbours are. The coroner for South Wales Central, Andrew Barclay, | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
said there was no evidence to suggest John Sabine was alive after | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
April 1997 and he said it was clear he died of a blunt force injuries to | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
the head. He recorded a verdict of unlawful killing. | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Police investigating an historical murder are searching | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
Forensic officers, police dogs and specialist army teams have spent | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
the day examining forestry at Nant y Ffrith. | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Several other searches have taken place, including one | :12:27. | :12:28. | |

Andrew Seal, who is 49 and also from Ogmore Vale, | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
has been charged with the murder of Gwilym Jones and the attempted | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Police are appealing for any information. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Two Dyfed-Powys Police officers have appeared in court charged | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
with wilful misconduct in public office after an investigation | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Stephen Greensmyth and Rhys James are accused of supplying a Class B | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
BBC Wales has learned that the leader of Carmarthenshire | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
Parents of pupils at a Powys school are launching a legal challenge | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
against the local council after being told transport could no | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
longer be subsidised for children from outside the catchment area. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Llanfyllin High School was found to have broken council rules | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
earlier this year for subsidising the bus fares and has since been | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Ruth Evans from Oswestry catches up with her daughter | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
13-year-old Lydia has just been dropped off by the school bus | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
as she studies over the border at Llanfyllin High School. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
At the moment, her mum pays ?80 a term for a subsidised school bus | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
service but after a ruling by Powys Council, that | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
Ruth is a single mum and works in a hospice. | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
She says she can't afford this price hike and will have to make her | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
We are paying ?240 a year at the moment, so ?80 a term. | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
So there is no way I can afford to go up to ?800. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
What will it mean to Lydia if you have to take her out | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
of school because you can't afford the transport costs? | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
She has learned her lessons for two years in Welsh and she would have | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
She would be devastated to change schools. | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
Llanfyllin High School broke council rules after spending ?500,000 over | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
five years to bus 200 pupils from outside the catchment area. | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
It was told to pay back just ?17,000 but governors claim the council | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
was aware of the school's actions and parents have now threaten | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
We took specialist barrister's advice and it was his opinion | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
that there are merits in mounting a legal challenge to | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
the decision on the basis that Powys County Council did not | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
necessarily choose the correct course of action in implementing | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
their policy decision in the first place. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Oswestry has its own secondary school but many parents | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
are attracted over the border by the dual stream | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
It is market day in Oswestry and you hear plenty of people | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
speaking Welsh and there are plenty of street names and place names | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
It is right on the border and it is those historical | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
and cultural links to Wales why many parents decide | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
to send their children to school over the border in Llanfyllin. | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
Jane does not want to see her children separated | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
I am Welsh and I would like my children to go | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
there to have the option to learn Welsh. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
My son enjoys agriculture, to take part in the Eisteddfod, | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
things like that, but really we have to consider as a family, | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
are we prepared to spend that sort of money per year on transport? | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
Powys Council say an independent barrister is carrying out | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
The Lewises and all parents involved say they will fight this price | :16:01. | :16:05. | |

And enjoying the climb - but walkers and businesses will be | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
asked to help foot the bill to maintain Snowdon's footpaths. | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
There is a much stronger chance of saving the steel industry | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
if the UK decides to stay in the European Union. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
That's what the Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns has said today. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
But campaigners urging a Leave vote in June's referendum say the EU has | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
limited what both the Welsh and UK governments can do | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Our political reporter James Williams is here with the details. | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
In exactly five weeks time, we as a country face one | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
of the biggest decisions in our lifetimes. | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
Now, there are many big issues at the heart of the European Union | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
For example, the economy, our security as a nation | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
and who should make the decisions that affect our lives. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
Here in Wales, following Tata Steel's decision earlier | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
in the year to sell its UK operations, there is also a big | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
debate over whether the ailing steel industry that employs thousands | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
of Welsh workers would be better or worse off | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Speaking to an audience of business leaders in Swansea | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
earlier this morning, the pro-EU Welsh Secretary | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
Although there are no guarantees, be in no doubt, our membership | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
of the European Union makes our chances of | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
gaining that buyer, of defending our industry, | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Membership of the European Union is fundamental to simply attracting | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
investors and buyers because of the benefits the market | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
The dumping of cheap Chinese steel on the European market is seen | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
Campaigners for a Leave vote say we would be better able to respond | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
It is remaining in the EU which is risking the death | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
The EU is not protecting us against dumped Chinese steel, | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
it is giving us sky high energy prices, it is not even letting us | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
cut the business rates, and for those reason we believe | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
a vote Leave vote on June 23rd is the only hope for | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
a sustainable future for steel in Wales and the UK. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
So, steel is just one of the many key issues in this referendum | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
campaign that could help you decide how you're going to | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
answer the referendum question on June 23rd. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
Now, if you were registered to vote in the Welsh Assembly election then | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
you'll be able to vote in the referendum. | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
If not, then you have until the 7th of June to register. | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
Dementia is a condition that affects 45,000 people in Wales and, | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
as part of dementia awareness week, two new dramas are hoping to raise | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
awareness about the impact it's having on Welsh communities. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
Before I Leave by National Theatre Wales and Belonging, | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
which is currently touring the country, both try | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
to break some of the taboos that surround dementia. | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Our arts and media correspondent Huw Thomas has been finding out | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
about the plays and the stories that inspired them. | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
In Merthyr, a choir for people with dementia offers respite, | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
relaxation and therapy for people who are living with the condition. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
It's an inspiring sight and it's prompted a drama that'll use music | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
to tell the stories of people like these. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Before I Leave is still locked in rehearsals. | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
It's a play where young and old actors tackle some | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
of the taboos around dementia to a soundtrack of Welsh songs. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Thousands of people in Wales are living with dementia. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
Many more of us will know somebody who has been affected by it | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
but it can be an incredibly difficult subject to talk | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
about and that is where drama could help to break some of those taboos. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Written by Patrick Jones, the play includes a new song | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
by his brother Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
But it focuses on real experiences, and how closer communities could | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
I try and make comment about society and we are in the age of the big | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
society, people are coming together who don't have much and are pulling | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
I have been a nurse for four years now and one of the hardest parts | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
of the job is caring for patients with dementia. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
On a different stage, another play trying to make sense of dementia. | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Belonging is touring Wales and shines a light on the struggle | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
facing some Welsh-speaking patients to be treated in their native | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
language, at a time when life can be confusing enough. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
I live up in North Wales and, generally, people | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
within the profession, their attitude, they are aware | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
of this happening, with the Welsh language in particular. | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Attitudes generally are very healthy as far as that is concerned, | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
but maybe there are individuals, and this needs to be | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
In song or on stage, sharing stories about dementia gives | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
a voice to a condition that too often has remained | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
And on tomorrow night's programme we'll bring you a special report | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
looking at how Wales is leading the way in dementia research. | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Visitors to Snowdon are being asked to pay | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
towards the cost of maintaining the mountain's footpaths. | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
It's the idea of the Snowdon Partnership, which is made up | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
of local groups and businesses, but the scheme is | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
meeting resistance, as Roger Pinney reports. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Perhaps it was the weather, rain and high winds, | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
but walkers were few and far between on the Llanberis path today. | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
The damage caused by the thousands of feet that pass this way each year | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
Paths which cost the National Park Authority ?250,000 | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
In the shelter of the valley, there were plenty of visitors. | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
Quite a few enjoying a trip on the Llanberis railway. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
This is one of the businesses supporting the Visitors Giving | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
From their cafe they have decided to give a share of their sales | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
We are going to have posters around the cafe and a shop explaining | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
that we are a partner in the Visitor Giving | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
will be able read it from the literature we have got. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
However, we are not going to be increasing the price | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
of the produce we sell, so we are going to be taking it out | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
of the profit we make on them without penalising our customers. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
Other businesses say they will offer customers the chance to add a little | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
to their bills but the principle is to keep it entirely voluntary. | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
The Snowdon Partnership asked 100 businesses to take part. | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
Dylan Jones has run his outdoor equipment shop for nine years | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
and he is worried about how the scheme could work | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Implementing it is going to be difficult for some businesses, | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
It is probably harder in the retail sector where you are very cost | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
driven or price conscious and adding a pound to everybody's bill | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
People complain about 5p for the plastic bag tax. | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
This opens up a wider question which goes way beyond Llanberis. | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
How much should visitors pay towards the cost of local services? | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
If you go abroad, you pay a tourist tax in lots of countries | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
and in London they discuss charging visitors a pound a night | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
Tourist tax? Absolutely not. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
It should be open and free to everybody who wants to enjoy | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
They are taking advantage of what is here and if we don't help | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
maintain it, it is not going to be here for our grandchildren. | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
I want my grandchildren to enjoy this too. | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
In Llanberis, the Visitor Giving scheme kicks off | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
I think the water proofs will come in handy. | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
The weather will be up and down over the next few days. | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
That said, there will be some dry, bright spells as well. | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
Some hazy sunshine in South Cornelly. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
But the weather went downhill during the afternoon. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Cloud spreading from the west, bringing rain. | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
So this evening, rain, drizzle and mist, but this | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
A lot of cloud and a relatively mild night with a south-westerly breeze. | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
Here's the picture for 8:00am in the morning. | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
Plenty of cloud but bright in places. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
12 Celsius in Aber with a south-westerly breeze. | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
However, cloud will increase during the afternoon with some rain. | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
Top temperatures in the north-east up to 18 Celsius. | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
Cooler on windward coasts with a south to south-westerly breeze. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
In Flintshire tomorrow, dry with sunny intervals. | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
17 Celsius in Queensferry in Pembrokeshire. | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
A good part of the day dry but a little rain | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
By the way, the Trefriw Walking Festival starts | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
The rain should hold-off until the evening. | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
Tomorrow's chart shows low pressure over the Atlantic and this warm | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
So tomorrow night cloudy and mild with outbreaks of rain. | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
Some heavy rain but it should dry and brighten-up | :26:15. | :26:16. | |
later in the afternoon with a better evening. | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
More wet and breezy weather on Saturday. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
Heavy in places with thunder but some places will stay dry. | :26:26. | :26:46. | |
Tonight's top story. The Liberal Democrats' only AM, Kirsty Williams, | :26:47. | :26:56. | |
has been appointed as Education Secretary. The First Minister says | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
it reflects the need for parties to work together. And since we have | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
been on air, Kirsty Williams has given this reaction. The First | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
Minister said very clearly no party has a monopoly on good ideas. I | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
think that is the case. We have a chance to do Welsh politics | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
differently, working with other political parties, focusing on where | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
there is agreement and will be can push Wales forward. | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
And Richard Osman, who grew up in Carmarthen, is believed to be one of | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
the 66 people still missing after a plane crashed into the Mediterranean | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
Sea in the early hours of the morning. | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
We'll be back with another update at 8:00pm and again | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
Until then, from everyone on the team, goodbye. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
