07/06/2016 BBC Wales Today

Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

Crowds welcome the Queen as she opens

the new session of the National Assembly.

She said it marked a "further significant development

And good news from France - Joe Ledley, Joe Allen

set to return from injury for Wales' Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia'

The Queen has officially opened the new session

This was the fifth Royal opening, and was also attended

by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales

Today's event coincided with the latest attempt

to find agreement on the devolution of further powers to the Assembly

with the publication of a new Wales Bill.

Here's our political editor, Nick Servini.

The Band of The Royal Armoured Corps played the national anthems

as the Royal party arrived at the Senedd.

At the head of the procession, the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh,

followed closely by the Prince of Wales

They were welcomed on the steps of the Senedd by First Minister

Carwyn Jones and Presiding Officer Elin Jones,

before meeting the leaders of all the political parties.

The mace was carried before the Queen into the chamber.

I would like to welcome our royal guests.

Thank you for returning here at the beginning

The volume and complexity of your legislative responsibilities

will increase further during this fifth assembly.

And you will also have the fiscal responsibilities

including tax-raising powers for the first time.

And on a day dominated by pomp and ceremony in Cardiff Bay,

even more powers could be on their way

in a revised version of the Wales Bill,

which was introduced in the House of Commons.

but it's also about the business of government,

because when all the crowds and the barriers have gone,

a process has got under way which could mean that the Assembly

gets some control over the income tax that you pay,

some control over whether a wind farm is built in the area you live

and even whether 16-year-olds get the vote in Assembly elections.

So how did some of those in the crowd feel

We can't go on our own - we're such a small country.

It just seems at Westminster is dominating, even with the Assembly,

so I do think it's good that Wales is having a bit more say

The revised Wales Bill is the second attempt to bring in the legislation

after it ground to a standstill last year

when there was a row over attempts to clarify which areas should come

under the control of Westminster, and which Cardiff Bay.

Today was about celebrating devolution, but then the accusation

was that UK Government ministers at the Wales Office had gone

against its spirit by introducing an English veto on Welsh laws.

This time round the Wales Office has removed many of those hurdles

and as a result the Welsh Secretary, Alun Cairns,

is optimistic that agreement can be found.

At the moment, we have got too many challenges

of who is to blame or who is responsible for different areas

of policy and this bill will provide clarity and accountability.

The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, gave a cautious welcome but there's

still serious disagreement over the lack of devolution

I don't understand the logic behind it.

Quite honestly, I don't understand the logic.

Does that mean we cannot discuss this bill?

Does it mean the bill should not be introduced?

Does it mean this bill couldn't lead to something that takes us forward?

All those things can happen with this bill.

So a day full of symbolism, but with many changes on the way,

also a day that could have long-term implications.

A businessman originally from Cowbridge

in the Vale of Glamorgan has been arrested in Kenya

after a woman died at his home there.

Lawyers for Richard Alden say the woman

was taking photos of herself with a mobile phone

when a gun she was holding "went off".

Mr Alden will remain in custody until Friday

while police carry out a murder investigation.

for the two sides of the EU referendum debate is level in Wales.

According to the latest YouGov survey for ITV Wales

and Cardiff University, Remain and Leave are both on 41%,

with 18% of those questioned saying they don't know or won't vote

in the referendum on the future of the UK and the European Union.

Registration to vote closes at one minute to midnight.

What's been described as the best brain-imaging centre in the world -

looking deep into dementia, depression and MS -

has been officially opened at Cardiff University by the Queen.

It's home to several state-of-the-art brain scanners.

This is just the most significant advance, I think,

for brain imaging in the UK and indeed in Europe

it is the second of its kind in the world.

And it is this kind of strategic investment in a piece of kit

that places Wales and, indeed, the UK and Europe

in a position we've never been in before.

Football, and midfielders Joe Ledley and Joe Allen -

and striker Hal Robson-Kanu - are set to return from injury

for Wales' Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia on Saturday.

All three missed Sunday's 3-0 friendly defeat in Sweden

but have resumed training at Wales' base in France.

where he faced questions from the media.

The focus was on injuries with good news regarding the fitness

of Joe Allen and Joe Ledley and striker Hal Robson-Kanu.

All three players came through sessions yesterday

and fully integrated with the rest of the squad.

Of course, they are lacking gametime but physically they look very good.

Taking a session in Portugal just over a fortnight after breaking

his leg on the 7th of May, Chris Coleman said Joe Ledley has done

amazingly well to return to train fully yesterday with the team.

But despite being available the manager added that

starting with the midfielder is another question

and he'd have to think long and hard about the decision.

The players didn't train today but they do have access

to state-of-the-art facilities, from top-class pitches

Wales Women have missed out on qualifying for next summer's

European Championships finals in the Netherlands

following a defeat by Norway in Newport.

Let's see what the weather has in store.

It was another humid one for Wales today. The radar shows what we had

the thunder showers. Dry for most. Tomorrow, more of the same, mostly

fine and warm with isolated heavy showers. Looking overnight, the

showers ease off, but cloud of this developing with light winds and

staying muddy. Temperatures remaining in double figures

overnight. Tomorrow, the mist should burn away, with coastal fog

lingering. Then very for cloud, sunny spells and hazy at times.

Similar stories for the rest of the UK. As the heat bills, the humidity

could trigger the odd shower. More likely further west, but staying dry

for many. Cooler in the North, 13 Celsius. In the unity across the

south-east, around 26. The odd shower later in Wales, most places

staying dry and warm. High teens across Cardigan Bay, load when she's

-- low 20s they cross the marchers. Another muggy night in the mid teens

or many. We keep the humid conditions for Thursday. Scattered

showers are more likely later, some heavy. A low pressure system starts

to move on from the Atlantic which could bring more widespread rain on

Friday. A muggy start, with rain arriving from the West with heavy

outbreaks. Temperatures back in the high teens everywhere. A couple more

fine achievement days. Sunny spells and if you showers. More unsettled

on Friday, sunshine and showers on Saturday.

From all of us on the programme, good night
