Welcome to Wales Today, live from Bordeaux. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Euro 2016 is about to kick off, and with it, the hopes | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
They arrived amid high security, France in a state of emergency | :00:11. | :00:19. | |
after recent attacks, tens of thousands of police | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
The fans in fine voice - they've waited decades for major | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
This stadium behind me is where Wales will take to the field | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
The Wales squad left their training base in Brittany earlier. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
Chris Coleman says his men are ready. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
The results will be what they're going to be. | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
But we'll make sure we take care of our performance and we | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
And Wales in a major championship used to be the stuff | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
As thousands of steel workers wait for news about their jobs, | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
the call for a long-term solution to the steel-crisis | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
And how the family of Oliver Edwards-Cavill - | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
who took his own life - are campaigning for more | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
support to prevent other parents losing a child. | :01:16. | :01:32. | |
France is holding a month-long European football party | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
and for the first time, Wales are invited. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
This elegant, sophisticated city of culture and breathtaking | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
architecture has been transformed over last few hours, as fans pour | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
If Chris Coleman's men want to be crowned European Champions and bring | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
home the Henri Delaunay Trophy, they'll have to make it | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
through seven games over the next month. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
They'll be cheered on by thousands of fans from Wales, just some | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
of the half a million from the UK making the journey. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
But before there are any celebrations, Wales have | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
They face Slovakia here in Bordeaux tomorrow at 5pm. | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
Next, it's up to Lens for the highly anticipated clash with England. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
And it's back down the country to Toulouse, for the final group | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
But the fans arrive in a nervous country. | :02:35. | :02:46. | |
France is in a state of emergency, with 90,000 police and military | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
Where this is attendance at a major tournament is not the only thing | :02:51. | :03:09. | |
unprecedented about Euro 2016. France remains on high alert | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
following last year 's terror attacks in Paris. Is thought to | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
record 90,000 security staff are working here, and makes them | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
officers from Welsh police forces. These officers along with Slovakian | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
officers will be working in teams with French colleagues. We'll be out | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
on the ground, engaging with all the fans, the locals and the neutrals | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
who are coming to Saturday's game. We'll be advising and supporting the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
French police. There are also hoping to avoid | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
scenes like these. Police using tear gas to break up of a brawl last | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
night. But the Welsh fans in Bordeaux are not worried, just | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
excited. We waited 58 years so we are not | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
bothered. We're going to make the most of it. | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Never thought I'd Ashleigh make it in my lifetime. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
The more the better as far as I'm concerned. | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Everybody seems to be behaving themselves. The security is getting | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
into the fans only. They check you down anything on your bike and go | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
through banks, and anything they don't like to be locked up and they | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
have to do that for up to 60,000 fans. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
The Welsh supporters have no truly arrived in Bordeaux, making the most | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
of the French experience, which today includes a strike on some tram | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
services around the city and then the more relaxing cafe culture. | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
They're not even going to let the familiar weather spoiled the party. | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
The atmosphere 's been amazing. Everyone talks to each other. As | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
soon as you see another Welsh shirt, it's like hey, hey! You can join | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
everyone and have drinks for them. The first half of the week we spent | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
sightseeing and looking round the city. It's absolutely beautiful and | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
the fans are turning up now in force. The atmosphere is building | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
and everybody is looking forward to the game. | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
And so is the new sports Minister who will arrive before kick-off | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
tomorrow. People don't take an interest in the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
football team in itself are showing more of an interest as more and more | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
attention than that they wouldn't have been and is a message for our | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
elite athletes and for everyone who's interested in some form of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
sport or exercise. It's a real bonus for Wales on the sporting front and | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
obviously, it's an opportunity to sell Wales to the world. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Wherever you are, the agonising wait for the kick-off is almost as an end | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
and while security is visible, is only one thing on the minds of fans, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and that's watching their team make history. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
The Wales squad left their training base in Brittany earlier, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
and have been training on the pitch in Stade de Bordeaux tonight. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Manager Chris Coleman has just given his final press conference | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Iwan Griffiths is following the team for us. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
What's the mood in the camp less than 24 hours before kick-off? | :06:01. | :06:11. | |
There's definitely a feeling of excitement here tonight. You could | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
describe the mood in the press conference as emotional. Chris | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
Coleman celebrating his 46th birthday today, just urging his | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
players to enjoy this moment. It's been a long 58 year wait. We're | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
nearly there. Threading that if at the stadium, the Europe campaign | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
gets under way for these men. The self-proclaimed band of brothers | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
taking the opportunity to get a feel of the pitch, less than 24 hours | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
before this historic adventure kicks off against Slovakia. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
We'll have goose bumps, that's for sure especially with the Welsh fans | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
singing the anthem and knowing everybody in Wales is watching on | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
TV. The people not in the stadium will be supporting us and getting | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
involved in a major championship instead of watching obviously on the | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
TV. To be fully involved as a nation is going to be amazing for everybody | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
and we hope we can do everybody proud. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Chris Coleman on the day he turns 46 says they're prepared and ready. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
We're going to enter the tournament in the same spirit that we entered | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
the campaign and that is, when we walk onto the pitch, we give | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
everything for our jersey and what will be will be after that and the | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
results will be what they're going to be but we'll make sure we take | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
care about performance and we'll do our nation proud. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
The Slovakian is also in town. They won seven back-to-back games | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
qualifying for this tournament including a memorable victory | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
against Spain and they beat world champions Germany just a few weeks | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
ago in a friendly. Liverpool's captain will captain the side while | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
their current top scorer is arguably the squad's most important player. | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
He's obviously a great player but, you know, you've looked at them, to | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
now research, then our work on the field but at the end of the day, | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
it's the same as always, we concentrate on ourselves and how we | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
can hurt Sabato. It's been a long wait with Wales | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
having to sit out of each major footballing tenements since 1958. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
This evening, fans placed their hopes on these men to make that wait | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
The thoughts of Chris Coleman and the players there. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
A little earlier, I caught up with former Wales midfielder | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Robbie Savage to hear how he sees the challenge that Slovakia | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Weiss, Mak and obviously Hamsik, who can score goals. | :08:47. | :08:58. | |
I think he got a five goals in the qualifying campaign. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
They won six out of six in the first six games, | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
so they're not to be taken lightly but I think it's a game, | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
it's a massive, massive game, it's a game Wales cannot | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
You speak to pundits, former players from outside of Wales, | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
where do they place Wales' s chances in this tournament? | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Well, I know we keep saying about Gareth Bale, | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
but with him on the pitch, he's a superstar. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
And that's why I think we are different to the Republic | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
of Ireland and Northern Ireland, because there haven't | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
England have got, you know, Ian Kane and Rooney and Delle Ali. | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
So if he can stay fit and you can get the ball as often as he can, | :09:39. | :09:44. | |
I think the last 16, with a possible quarterfinal | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
is a real opportunity but first and foremost, | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
you cannot lose against Slovakia tomorrow. | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
Everything on Gareth Bale's shoulders. | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
I wouldn't say on his shoulders, but when you're involved in 9 out | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
of the 11 goals in the qualifier, you have to say that going forward, | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
we are reliant upon him, no doubt about that. | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
Will he go with Robson Kanu, will he go with Sam Vokes, | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
Will he go with Dave Edwards or Andy King | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
So, you know, I'd go for it, I'd go with Andy King | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
in the middle of the park, with Ramsey and Allen, | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
but I've got a sneaky feeling he might go withthe more physical | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
Robbie, you came close to qualifying yourself. | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
While you're there, how excited are you? | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
You know, I speak to John Hartson, Craig Bellamy, of course, | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
we missed out to Russia but this group of players has bonded so well | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
and to be here as a pundit, you know, it's my third one | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
but when you've got involved within it, it's fantastic. | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
I've been with all the fans in Bordeaux this morning. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
There's 10,000 fans expected so it's brilliant for everybody | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
My heart says yes, my head says it's going to be tougher | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
Robbie Savage. It's quiet here this evening. 42,000 fans will stream | :11:10. | :11:23. | |
into the stadium tomorrow. Kick-off is at five o'clock. I bring you all | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
the reaction on Wales today tomorrow evening. Back to you, Lucy. | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
The new Economy Secretary is calling for a long-term solution | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
to the steel crisis that will protect jobs, whether Tata | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Ken Skates says the company would have to show that it | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
could sustain steel making at Port Talbot if it decided to hold | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
on to the plant, while Plaid Cymru says Tata must not be allowed | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
to benefit from proposed pension changes aimed at helping | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Our business correspondent, Brian Meechan, has the latest. | :11:49. | :11:59. | |
The week continues for Tata workers, not only in Port Talbot but across | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
the country. Steel prices have begun to rise and losses at this site are | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
starting to fall. The UK Government's is also negotiating | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
with Tata on issues like reducing the company 's pension liabilities | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
and energy costs. Some believe that the Indian company is reconsidering. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
At its first interview with this programme since being appointed, the | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
new economy Secretary says Tata will have to show it image for the | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
long-term if it's not selling. We want sustainable solution that | :12:34. | :12:41. | |
provides steel-making jobs in Wales. For many communities, Steelers | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
essential for the country. And our preferred option would be for any | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
buyer for Tata to maintain for the long-term steel-making in Wales. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
That is being expected to release a short list of potential bidders for | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
weeks but still is alleged worries about what's happening. Liberty | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
stealing Newport is one of the company is expected to be on that | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
list, along with Spell at birth and another investor. -- X Balaban. Tata | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
workers held a rally in London last month and the Business Minister | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
marched alongside them but some argue these workers and other | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
members of tartar's pension scheme shouldn't lose benefits if the | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
company does decide to keep its UK operations. | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
This is Tata is opportunity and liability. In law they cannot walk | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
away from it. Tata group can meet this pension fund deficit and it | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
would be morally and legally wrong for all kinds of other corporations | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
to let Tata to walk away from its responsibilities. | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
Both the UK Government and Tata said they working together to secure the | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
future of the business and secure the best outcome for members of the | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Around 50 people gathered in Pembrokeshire today to discuss | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
concerns about mental health support for young people. | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
The public forum was organised by the family of 15-year-old | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
Oliver Edwards-Cavill from Pembroke Dock who took | :14:08. | :14:08. | |
Pembrokeshire Council and Hywel Dda Health Board were due | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
to be on the panel but both were unable to attend. | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
The health board said this was due to sickness. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
The Council has been asked to comment. | :14:19. | :14:19. | |
It's hoped the forum will help to improve services. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
Young people are identifying that they want to see services | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
improved but also maybe the establishment and development | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
of more maybe appropriate type services that are not necessarily | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
mental health but more emotional well-being, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
to do that transfer from young person to adulthood. | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
A coroner has told Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board it must push ahead | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
with plans to set up a special team to help mothers-to-be | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
It follows the death of 22-year-old Shanice Priestley who was eight | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
months pregnant when she hanged herself at her home | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
The health board said it is developing a perinatal mental | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
The Welsh Government has stepped in to attempt to end a dispute | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
affecting staff who work for National Museum Wales. | :15:10. | :15:11. | |
Members of the PCS Union have been taking continuous strike action over | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
plans to end extra payments for working weekends. | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
The Museum has now offered a lump sum, equivalent to five years' worth | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
The Welsh Government is financing half of the offer. | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
The union says it's considering the details and hopes | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
Three days of celebration to mark the Queen's | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral this morning. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
And among those chosen to lead the prayers is Hilda Price | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
from Cardiff, who shares her birthday with the Queen. | :15:45. | :15:58. | |
We give you thanks for Jesus Christ. His body may be united in his love. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Mrs Price, who was born in Carmarthen, said | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
when she was told she was to take part, it was the shock of her life. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Rugby and Wales centre Jamie Roberts says players are always on edge | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
when facing New Zealand, more so than when playing | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
They face the All Blacks in Auckland tomorrow. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
But kicking coach Neil Jenkins says they won't be intimidated. | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
Their home record is pretty impressive and no matter where they | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
play in the world, they are pretty impressive, so I think obviously, | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
we've been here as some of the players | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
World Cup in 2011, and semis and the third | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
quarter didn't go too well for | :16:37. | :16:37. | |
us on those occasions so hopefully we can turn that around | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Let's re-join Tomos now in Bordeaux. for you at 8.00pm. | :16:41. | :16:53. | |
Since 1958, the closest a Welshman has come to playing | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
in a major football tournament is on a computer. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
And with that in mind, here's our guide to Wales' group | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
at Euro 2016, which celebrates both the beautiful game | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Wales are in group B, alongside England, Russia and Slovakia. | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
First up, Slovakia - underestimate them | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
They've just beaten world champions Germany in a | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
friendly and beat Spain during qualification for the Euros. | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Wales have played them twice before and | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
A 5-2 win away but a 5-1 thrashing in Cardiff. | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
The only high point of that game - Gareth Bale's | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Apparently, they won something back in 1966 but | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
Their team is full of stars and full of | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy among the Premier League's top | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
With a perfect record in qualifying ten wins from ten games, | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
they are favourites to top the group and beat Wales. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
But they don't always live up to the potential when | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
Responsible for Welsh heartbreak when they beat us | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
in the play-offs for Euro 2004, Fielding a player, Yegor Titov, | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
There aren't too many household names in the | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
Russian squad and their star player Alan Dzagoev | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
has already withdrawn through | :18:37. | :18:37. | |
The Russians have bags of experience but they're an ageing | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
squad and Wales' pacey attackers will love to exploit that. | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
Finish in the top two and Wales go through to | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
the next round but the four best third-place finishers | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
Lets hope Wales will prosper throughout this tournament | :18:53. | :19:13. | |
24,000 Welsh fans have tickets for tomorrow's game. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
They'll be savouring all the atmosphere here in Bordeaux. | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
But many more will be on the edge of their seats back home in Wales, | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
watching the game with friends and family. | :19:23. | :19:23. | |
Carwyn Jones has been looking at how Wales is preparing for | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
the tournament that's been 58 years in the making. | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Camera phones at the ready because the euro is looming large on the | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
Welsh capital. As if we needed any reminder, a giant Welsh football | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
shirt now dominates the city 's shopping precinct, a photo | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
opportunity this proved impossible to resist. Something else that | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
appeared in Cardiff is this a fan zone, a huge field behind the | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
castle, where Wales supporters can come together to enjoy all the | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
action. Tomorrow, around 6000 football thanks -- fans will be | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
gathering here to watch Wales played Slovakia on a giant screen placed | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
behind me and that's green organisers say is the largest high | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
definition screen anywhere in the UK. Watching the last minute | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
preparations with pride as Blackwood student Marc Jones. He fired up a | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
social media campaign calling for a fan zone in the capital when it | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
looked like wasn't going to be won. His petition got 1000 signatures in | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
a fortnight and it's all paid off. Hopefully in years to come, people | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
will be looking back at thousands of people celebrating here and looking | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
back at it. So really emotional! It'll be just | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
as emotional for fans in Swansea, the city 's Castle Square is hosting | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
a fan zone two. Tomorrow, thousands of supporters are expected to take | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
the train, heading into city centres to enjoy the match. British | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Transport Police is beefing up its presence on the rail network. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
We do have sufficient resources to make sure we cater for normal | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
footfall through our stations but also that extra level that might | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
come through and parts that might come through with the way for drug. | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
Throughout the tournament, at nightfall, 16 historic landmarks | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
including Conwy Castle will turn red. Be lit up throughout the group | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
stages and as and as long as Wales is in the tournament, fans will be | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
hoping the night sky stays that way well into July. | :21:33. | :21:33. | |
Well, the mass exodus of Wales fans started a few days ago. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
The initial few dozens have now been joined by thousands | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
Those without a ticket to the game at Stade de Bordeaux | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
will be able to watch it in the fan zone in the city. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Tonight, people are gathering for the opening game | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
This is the Bordeaux fan zone and you can watch it. Actually, 62,000 | :21:55. | :22:15. | |
people can come here and watch every game. Bear in mind, that's 20,000 | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
more than will be in the stadium against Slovakia tomorrow. These two | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
fans will be there. You've been a lifelong football supporter. | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
What's it like to finally be here? Absolutely incredible. It's the | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
final leg of a journey that I started about 31 years ago in | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
Cardiff. It is a journey never thought I'd make and here we are | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
today in the fan zone in Bordeaux, absolutely loving it. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
And it's going to emotional. I think I cried when we beat | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
Belgium, I certainly did cry when I went to Zeneca. Tomorrow, when they | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
play the national anthem, I'll be in tears of joy. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
Ryan, can you quite believe this moment is actually here? | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
Not really. The sticker books and the songs, it's all been surreal and | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
its sinking in. Walking around Bordeaux today and seeing all the | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
flags and the fan zone, spotting Welsh people all over, it's sinking | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
in but when those teams walk-out tomorrow, that's when we'll know. I | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
really believe that this is happening, cos I still can't quite | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
get my head around our little nation has finally got our spot on the | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
world's speech. Release -- really proud. | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
Thank you from that. It's been a mixed day here in Bordeaux, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
weather-wise, but the sun is coming out. Let's get the full weather back | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
home with Llyr Gruffydd Davis. A mixed bag there is well. Humid | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
conditions of the most to the country for most of the week, and | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
into the weekend. Some showers tonight as well. The showers are | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
mixed all over the place, not much of a pattern. Some late today | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
brightness of the parts of Pembrokeshire with showers | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
elsewhere, high over mid Wales. Some more heavy showers there but a mild | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
night. Quite unsettled and certainly feeling maquis. We've got low | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
pressure in charge of the weather and this is bringing more unsettled | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
conditions. A series of friends in the West, pushing over the country | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
over the next few days. Not necessarily bringing heavy rain but | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
making things damper. Tomorrow morning, eight o'clock, we see | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
plenty of sunshine in the south-east, spells of such a comment | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
go during the day but further north, more showers. These could be heavy | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
at times but still quite well, considering it's early in the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
morning. Some more showers as we go down into parts of south Ceredigion | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
and barbiturates are. Quite a mixed bag ahead for Saturday. We'll see | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
more showers throughout the day once again. Some drier spells as well. A | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
hint of sunshine here and there before evening. In the evening, | :25:14. | :25:21. | |
quite another warm evening, temperatures around 16-18dC and | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
Saturday nights, Maggie once again. One or two afternoons boss of | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
sunshine as we go into Saturday night but then, more rain pushing in | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
from the south-west in the early hours of Sunday. Still feeling quite | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
stuffy. Sunday itself, are starts across most of the country with rain | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
pushing across the country, gradually clearing towards the east, | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
so although it looks dismal on the map, we could see some dry weather | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
and hints of brightness before we get to the end of Sunday. An outlook | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
for the next two days. The showers continue for tonight, into Saturday, | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
cloudy at times. Some showers across the country, wetter than for Sunday | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
and the beginning next week, the mild conditions remain. More cloud, | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
showers and sunny intervals, but are looking clearer and certainly | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
brighter by the end of next week. Have a great weekend. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Tomorrow, you can listen to commentary on the game on BBC world | :26:23. | :26:34. | |
and Radio Cymru with updates on line. Live coverage on S4C and | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
you're on BBC One Wales, the coverage starts at four o'clock. | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Kick-off at five o'clock. You won't miss a thing here on the BBC. The | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
players are at their hotels to night. Quietly contemplating the | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
task ahead on the streets and expectations are high and reaching a | :26:55. | :26:55. | |
crescendo. Having endured decades of despair, | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
years of footballing frustration and near misses, | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
many thought this day would never come - that Wales would play | :27:03. | :27:04. | |
on the big stage, making history. | :27:05. | :27:08. |
