:00:51. > :00:55.Putting differences aside, they're usually miles apart on many

:01:04. > :01:09.They made their pitch and answered questions from call centre staff
:01:10. > :01:15.It wasn't the toughest crowd with no mention of immigration,
:01:16. > :01:19.for example, and at times, the two men were jovial.
:01:20. > :01:23.But the claims were serious as they made their case to remain
:01:24. > :01:28.in terms of potential benefits, for security, cheaper energy bills,
:01:29. > :01:32.but time and time again, they returned to the economy.

:01:55. > :01:57.when we had no influence at all on what was happening
:01:58. > :01:59.in the European tournament, and now we're there.
:02:00. > :02:03.And the same thing applies for the referendum next week.
:02:04. > :02:07.Leave campaigners dismissed it as yet another stage-managed event.
:02:08. > :02:11.Their constant deluge of prophecies of doom,
:02:12. > :02:16.of putting fear in people because the world will come
:02:17. > :02:19.to an end if they vote to leave, are not being believed

:02:26. > :02:30.The current Chancellor, George Osborne, and the former
:02:31. > :02:34.Labour Chancellor, Alistair Darling, warned how taxes would rise

:02:51. > :02:58.It was unprecedented to see the leader of the Conservative Party
:02:59. > :03:01.and the leader of Welsh Labour agreeing on so much.
:03:02. > :03:05.They did it in one of Wales' biggest call centres.

:03:33. > :03:37.of the Royal Welsh Regiment, served in the Army for 15 years.
:03:38. > :03:42.He told this programme how tough duty there had been.
:03:43. > :03:46.There were certain times were it was a very scary place to be

:04:15. > :04:18.He was a regular at this gym and here and in the town well-known
:04:19. > :04:24.I know that he set up a watch, just to make sure that children
:04:25. > :04:28.were getting home safely during summer holidays and things.
:04:29. > :04:32.He was a pillar of the community and I would say he was quite
:04:33. > :04:33.selfless, he would do anything for anybody.

:05:09. > :05:11.It's unclear what's happening but there was a loud bang
:05:12. > :05:14.and a big rush of fans down one of the main roads,
:05:15. > :05:15.and they seem to have moved round here.
:05:16. > :05:18.You can see that the police are quick to respond.
:05:19. > :05:20.It's just finding out what's going on.
:05:21. > :05:23.Just before, a large number of England fans gathered in the bars

:05:26. > :05:31.And as always, there are plenty of police to watch the performance.
:05:32. > :05:34.In preparation for any trouble, there are an extra 4000 officers

:05:45. > :05:48.Authorities have also banned the sale of alcohol
:05:49. > :05:51.in shops or supermarkets, but that is proving
:05:52. > :05:56.I think any city in the world who has introduced that type
:05:57. > :06:02.of licensing legislation, within a matter of hours and a city
:06:03. > :06:06.the size of Lille, to try and police that 100%,

:08:01. > :08:04.He was extremely upset as he described finding
:08:05. > :08:07.Finlay at the bottom of the stairs the day he died.
:08:08. > :08:10."I tried to pick up and put on his feet", he said,
:08:11. > :08:19.A 41-year-old man, who's admitted killing his landlord,
:08:20. > :08:21.has been giving evidence in his trial.
:08:22. > :08:25.David Craig Ellis denies murdering 59-year-old Alec Warburton.
:08:26. > :08:28.He told Swansea Crown Court that Mr Warburton had asked him to give
:08:29. > :08:34.Mr Warburton had been missing from his home in Swansea since July
:08:35. > :08:39.when his body was found in Conwy in September.
:08:40. > :08:41.More than two thirds of Assembly Members have
:08:42. > :08:43.signed a letter to the BBC Director General, Tony Hall,
:08:44. > :08:46.demanding he is specific about how much extra money he intends
:08:47. > :08:52.In 2014, Lord Hall told an audience in Cardiff that English-language
:08:53. > :08:56.television programming in Wales had been eroded and he subsequently said
:08:57. > :09:02.he planned to allocate additional funding to the nations.
:09:03. > :09:05.The most rare species of animal, bird and plant in Wales are to be
:09:06. > :09:09.assigned an Assembly Member each to champion their cause.
:09:10. > :09:12.It follows a similar scheme undertaken by members
:09:13. > :09:17.From dormice to dolphins, 60 examples of the most threatened
:09:18. > :09:19.wildlife in Wales will be paired with a politician.
:09:20. > :09:30.Our environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger, has the details.
:09:31. > :09:37.Meet the water vole, one of Wales's rarest animals. A new scheme means
:09:38. > :09:43.it has its own Assembly Member. Every introduction Project in John
:09:44. > :09:50.Griffiths's constituency has seen the furry creature make a comeback.
:09:51. > :09:58.Whatever aspect of nature we use to engage with people is really
:09:59. > :10:02.valuable to get key messages across. 60 of our most threatened animals,
:10:03. > :10:07.birds and plants will be paired with politicians as part of the species
:10:08. > :10:11.champion programme. They will offer an information and opportunities to
:10:12. > :10:15.take part in conservation work. But it's more than just a gimmick. The
:10:16. > :10:21.Assembly members have a particular important role to play when it comes
:10:22. > :10:25.to nature conservation. Wales has international targets to hit around
:10:26. > :10:31.reducing habitat and wildlife loss by 2020. That includes seeing a
:10:32. > :10:35.marked recovery in numbers of threatened species like the
:10:36. > :10:44.dormouse, wiped out in parts of England. In Wales, they will be
:10:45. > :10:48.championed by this man. We know from a report launched a couple of years
:10:49. > :10:53.ago that we are losing 60% of the species in the UK with almost one in
:10:54. > :10:58.ten species at the point of extinction. Most people did not know
:10:59. > :11:02.about that and that is why we need a champions to highlight their plight
:11:03. > :11:06.and help the government reversed the trends in their decline. The
:11:07. > :11:10.charities say a similar scheme in the Scottish Parliament has put more
:11:11. > :11:13.of a focus on nature within politics. They hope the Welsh
:11:14. > :11:14.Assembly can now follow Scotland's tracks.
:11:15. > :11:17.The iconic steam train The Flying Scotsman attracted crowds
:11:18. > :11:19.of over five 500 people at Llandudno Junction today,
:11:20. > :11:23.Enthusiasts gathered to watch the famous train pass
:11:24. > :11:27.through on its way from Crewe to Holyhead with a 20-minute stop
:11:28. > :11:40.giving plenty of opportunities for photos.
:11:41. > :11:48.Greetings. More dramatic with other parts of Wales today. Thunderstorms,
:11:49. > :11:55.pale and flash flooding in places. But some places stayed dry and
:11:56. > :11:59.sunny. The thunderstorms are now dying down. Still a few showers
:12:00. > :12:03.around overnight but most places becoming dry with temperatures
:12:04. > :12:08.staying in double figures. For tomorrow morning, most places. Try,
:12:09. > :12:12.Brighton parts of the West, sunshine, but if you showers around
:12:13. > :12:16.as well and more war brought during the morning telling had been places.
:12:17. > :12:21.Across the rest of the UK, heavily thundery showers will break out
:12:22. > :12:25.across England, torrential downpours in places, but they will be hit and
:12:26. > :12:41.miss, if you spots will stay dry and sunny.
:12:42. > :12:45.Northern Ireland and Scotland, cloudy and cool, spots of rain and
:12:46. > :12:47.drizzle, most of the rain in north-east sock Scotland. There is a
:12:48. > :12:49.Met Office warning in force for more heavy downpours and thunderstorms
:12:50. > :12:53.tomorrow. Torrential rain in places. Parts of the North and west likely
:12:54. > :12:59.to stay dry. A top temperature of 20 Celsius. Over to France now and the
:13:00. > :13:05.weather tomorrow, heavy showers, maybe a thunderstorm, the high 19
:13:06. > :13:10.Celsius. On Friday, dry weather and sunshine, a few showers breaking
:13:11. > :13:14.out, most in the south. And good news for the weekend. Better weather
:13:15. > :13:18.on the way, turning dry and more settled. The best of the sunshine
:13:19. > :13:19.likely on Saturday and feeling fresher.
:13:20. > :13:22.And don't forget, we'll have all the build-up to the Wales'
:13:23. > :13:25.England Euro 2016 game throughout the day tomorrow and there'll be
:13:26. > :13:27.reaction to the result live from Lens at 6:30pm.
:13:28. > :13:33.For now, from all of us here, good night.
