That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's headlines: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Vigils are held across Wales in memory of the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welsh colleagues and friends pay tribute. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
She was prepared to fight on every front for justice, fair play, | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
common-sense and this was a woman that couldn't be suppressed. | :00:18. | :00:39. | |
Stuart Bates and his son Fraser, died after being hit by a car. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
A 22-year-old man pleads guilty to causing death | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
The call for a crackdown on taxi drivers who break the law | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
by refusing to take guide dogs in their cabs. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
I asked, was it because of my guide dog? | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
They then attempted to drive away while I was still leaning on | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
We asked what you would do, if you were in charge of Wales. | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
Now we're passing on your ideas to the First Minister. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
And following defeat against England, the Wales squad | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
are back in Brittany preparing to face Russia on Monday night. | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
Vigils have been held tonight to remember the Labour MP Jo Cox , | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
who died after being shot and stabbed in her west | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Politicians here have been paying tribute to the 41-year-old, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
described by former Labour leader Lord Kinnock as someone who fought | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
Referendum campaigning across the country has been | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
suspended as our political editor Nick Servini reports. | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
She may have been tiny in stature but her determination, love and | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
It happened in Yorkshire but the impact of the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
killing of Jo Cox has had much wider repercussions. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Tonight, vigils were held in Swansea and Cardiff, the | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
emotions were still raw for the former leader | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
of the Labour Party, Lord Kinnock, as he gave this | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
personal recollection of the 41-year-old. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Steve, our son, her colleague, spoke of her last night. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
She would identify a problem and she would pursue it. | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
She was prepared to fight on every front. | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
Her constituency has lost a real champion for those people. | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
Facing the public, the Pontypridd MP Owen Smith holds a | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
The death of Jo Cox has sparked a wider debate about the security | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
But he believes that can only go so far. | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
This is my office, it is right in the middle on the Main Street | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
People know exactly where that office is. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
I go to the rugby on a Saturday, my kids go to school | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
here and in all of those ways I am a very public | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
I wouldn't want that to change, not for a minute. | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
If it did change it would fundamentally change the | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
nature of the relationship between the MP and the people you represent. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
A number of MPs have warned that threatening and abusive behaviour | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Owen Smith says much of that is online. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
People were tweeting me yesterday saying, I'm surprised more | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
of you don't get attacked in this fashion. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
What I do with those people is I just block | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
them, I don't bother torespond to them. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
It is a pretty ugly thing for someone to think that | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
This has shed light on a hidden part of the job of being an MP, the | :03:57. | :04:12. | |
constituency work. Most of them have offices in busy town centres like | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
this one in Pontypridd. Access to them from the public isn't just an | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
add-on of the job but a fundamental part of what they do. It is | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
representing their constituents. This has touched all parties. The | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
conservative former Welsh Secretary David Jones was determined to carry | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
on with business as usual at a care home summer party in his Clwyd West | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
constituency. All MPs are being encouraged to review their own | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
security arrangements. As you might imagine immediately after the | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
incident yesterday would receive messages from the police and the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Palace authorities to review our security. We are all aware of it but | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the most important thing is we should always strike a balance. In | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
respect of Jo Cox campaigning in the referendum has been cancelled | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
throughout the Daily Mail is like elsewhere in the UK. Tevez's BBC | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Wales television debate in Swansea and senior figures on both sides has | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
also been cancelled. It is a day for paying respects at a formal level in | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
Wales and at a personal one as well. After the death of a politician that | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
many find shocking. The real as pouring of grief today | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
across Wales as elsewhere. Because of the shocking nature of it | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
and an attack on an elected politician is an attack on the | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
system. It has certainly thrown up a range of talking points. One of them | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
is how do we protect our politicians? Short of airport style | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
security at constituency offices or near permanent presence by local | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
police officers, it is difficult to do that. We all like the easy access | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
they could have with our local MPs and AMs. Putting them in some | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
security bubble is going to make that difficult. There is the | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
secondary elements which is the tone in terms of public debate. MPs are | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
complaining about increases in aggression towards them. What they | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
see, Owen Smith and others telling me today, not just the tone from the | :06:25. | :06:33. | |
public to politicians is aggressive and now acceptable but also the way | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
politicians attack each other as we have seen in the referendum | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
campaign, has become the norm. It would not have been acceptable in | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
any of life. These are difficult questions to try to answer. Many | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
people like vigorous debate at the same time how do we draw a line when | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
things go over the top? Not easy. Campaigning for the | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
referendum at a standstill. Will that continue? It will and its code | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
change the dynamic and the momentum in the referendum campaign. We are | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
unlikely to see anything substantive in terms of the Welsh campaigns this | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
weekend. We have the recall of Parliament on Monday which will take | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
the sting out of things. We are looking at a frenetic 48 hours of | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
activity ahead of this huge decision on Thursday, an extraordinary time. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
A 22-year-old man has admitted causing the deaths of a father | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
and son as they crossed a road after a Christmas party. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
43-year-old Stuart Bates and seven-year-old Fraser were hit | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
by a car in Talbot Green, in Rhondda Cynon Taf. | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Joshua Staples from Tonyrefail pleaded guilty to causing death | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
It was in December last year that father and son, | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
They were making their way home in the early hours from a | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
party, both wearing their Christmas jumpers. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
But when they tried to cross the dual carriageway | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
here in Talbot Green they were struck by a car. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
That car was driven by 22-year-old | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Today, he admitted causing death by careless | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
driving but pleaded not guilty to causing death | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Fraser became an organ donor saving the lives of four others and a new | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
organ donation charity, Believe, was launched in his memory. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
His father also donated tissue to help others. | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
Since their deaths thousands of pounds has been raised | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Fraser's mother has described them as inspirational, | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
saying she draws comfort from knowing they live on in others. | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
Today at Cardiff Crown Court Staples was banned from driving and granted | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
bail until sentencing which is expected to take place next month. | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
A 29-year-old man has appeared before Cardiff Magistrates' Court | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
charged with murdering another man in the Llanedeyrn area of the city. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Lynford Brewster, who was also 29, died following an incident | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Dwayne Edgar has been remanded in custody to appear | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
National Museum Wales workers will be balloted on a new pay | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
offer which could end a long-running dispute. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
PCS union members have been involved in an all-out strike | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
since April over changes to weekend working allowances. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
The Museum said additional financial support from the Welsh Government | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
has allowed it to improve its previous offer. | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
There's continuing disruption to services in and out of Paddington | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
station after an empty rain derailed at the station yesterday evening. | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Services from Cardiff, Swansea and Carmarthen to London | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Passengers are being urged to check for updates before they travel. | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
A growing number of blind and partially sighted people | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
in Wales are being turned away by taxi drivers because | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
they have a guide dog, according to a charity. | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
Although it's illegal to refuse a fare from passengers | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
with assistance dogs, Guide Dogs Cymru is warning that | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
incidents are on the rise and is calling for tougher sentences | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
He relies on his guide dog Lloyd to be his eyes and ears. | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
Last month, after a shopping trip, he made his way to this taxi rank | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
I opened the passenger door of the car | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
and asked the driver if they would take me home. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
They refused saying they didn't want to take me. | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
I asked was it because of the guide dog? | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
They then attempted to drive away while I was | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
still leaning on the car and I fell flat on my face. | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
I felt quite humiliated and embarrassed and a | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
complete loss of confidence in my personal independence. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Under the Equality Act, it is illegal for a taxi | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
driver to refuse a fair just because the customer has a guide dog. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
Unless the driver has a medical reason why | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
they can't have a dog in the car, in which case they will have | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
to apply for an exemption certificate from | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
But according to the charity Guide Dogs Cymru, | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
taxi refusals in Wales are on the rise. | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
Individuals are telling as they can stand and wait | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
for a taxi in a queue and not know the taxi drivers are ignoring them. | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Even with the Equality Act the problem does seem to be | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
What we would like to see is stiffer penalties so that taxi drivers | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
understand the need to comply with the law. | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Drivers can be fined up to ?1,000 for refusing | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
But research by the charity Guide Dogs showed that prosecutions | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
In the Welsh capital all private hire and Hackney Carriage drivers | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
must undergo disability awareness training, | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Mathab Khan knows his obligations when it comes to picking up | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
passengers with guide dogs and feels other cabbies should too. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
If any taxi driver refuses to take a guide dog | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
If he still does it his licence should be revoked. | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
Powys County Council says it's carrying out an investigation | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
into the taxi driver who refused to take Nick's fare. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
The majority of cabbies do comply with the law, | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
but the actions of those who don't can have a real impact on people, | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
like Nick, who want to take a taxi without fear of refusal. | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Still to come in the programme: Can the voices of these children stop | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
people smoking outside a Pembrokeshire hospital? | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
And Wellington is the setting for Wales second Test | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Coach Warren Gatland is hoping for an improved performance. | :12:48. | :12:59. | |
During the run-up to last month's Assembly Election you may remember | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
that we asked you to tell us what you would do if you | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Well, after the dust settled and with Carwyn Jones in place, | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
I recently met the First Minister to hand over My Manifesto 2016. | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
What would you do if you were First Minister? | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
We travelled the length and breadth of Wales to find out. | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
If I was First Minister I would reorganise the NHS. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
If I was First Minister I would ensure that all | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
We promised we would pass on all your | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
I've come to the Senedd to do just that. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
Hundreds of you got in touch about what matters to you. | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
We have worked out what topics most of you | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
contacted us about and it is those issues I am going to put the First | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Starting with better transport links. | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
If I were First Minister I would build a | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
Jeffrey Solomon from Carmarthen thinks better roads | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
between north and south Wales would help his business. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
We're not going to have a dual carriageway north to south. | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
What we will look to do is improve sections | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
of the main roads, north/south, over the next few years. | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
Carwyn Jones insists there is money for those | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
improvements as well as the South Wales Metro and the M4 relief road. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
We do need a relief road, there is no getting away from it. | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
The tunnels at Brynglas are terrible. | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
If the Severn tolls go at some point all | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
that traffic that sits at the tolls will just end up sitting in Brynglas | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
It has got to be tackled and we will move forward with that now. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Lots of people got in touch with us concerned about care for | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
If I were the First Minister I would enact a holistic Bill of Rights | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
that would protect elderly, disabled and former double | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
people in their own homes, in hospitals and in care homes. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Ken Mack in Wrexham will be pleased to know the First Minister | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
is meeting the Older People's Commissioner next month to | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
discuss what can be done during the next Assembly term. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
With more people living longer too, Carwyn Jones is | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
considering the options to fund care. | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
If we want to go to a situation where we say, right, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
people have a right to free care in future above a certain age | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
it is going to cost and that means raising taxation. | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
Again, people need to understand what the costs are | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
I met Annie Mulholland from Cardiff who was terminally ill with | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
Annie died three weeks ago but throughout her illness | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
she fought for fair access to drugs for all patients. | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
If I were First Minister I would stop the NHS | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
Two things we are going to do, firstly, | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
we are going to introduce a new treatments from. | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
When a drug is approved for a life-threatening condition | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
including cancer but not chest cancer, the money will be | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
available to rule that out across Wales regardless of health board | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
The second thing we're going to look at is, the current | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
system we have means where people need to access a non-approved drug | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
they have to go through a panel in the health board area they live. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
People have told us it is difficult to see the consistency. | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
One of the things we're looking at is whether we | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
can put in place a national system and whether that would give is the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
We were overwhelmed by your response to | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
My Manifesto 2016 and so was the First Minister. | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
The sheer number of ideas, the fact you've got all these | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
responses show people are interested in politics. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
They don't think of it as politics but if you want something | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
fixed in the road, you want a good school for your children, you want | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
to have treatment in the health service it is politics | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
It shows people far from being apathetic and not interested | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
in what is going around them are very interested. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Will you be taking the suggestions of people across the country | :17:09. | :17:10. | |
We get a lot of our ideas from what we pick up | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
We are nothing without the public to electors. | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
The opinions of those people can help us to be able to do | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
So many of you got in touch and we didn't have time | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
to tell all your stories during the election campaign. | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
If you have a story you want us to tell, or an issue you want us | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
to investigate get in touch with My Wales Today. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Tweet us @BBCWalestoday using the hashtag #mywalestoday. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
Or write to us - the address is on the screen now. | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
We're looking forward to hearing from you. | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
If you started smoking outside the doors of a hospital | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
in Pembrokeshire you could be in for a shock. | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
Hywel Dda has become the first health board in Wales to launch | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
a new push-button public address system using children's voices, | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
Hospitals have long been cigarette-free, but enforcing that | :18:08. | :18:17. | |
Not everyone pays attention to the signs so perhaps it's time | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Launched by the children of Wolfcastle primary theirs | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
This is a smoke-free site, please do not smoke here. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
For free support to become smoke-free... | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
We thought it was an excellent idea to have a button that somebody | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
could press when they entered the hospital if they | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
just walked past somebody that was smoking outside the entrance. | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
We felt hearing a child's voice outside | :18:54. | :18:54. | |
the hospital was something you don't hear very often. | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
It is more likely to get people's attention and | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
hopefully it will seem more supportive rather than threatening. | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
With their catchy message now up and running | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
across all the hospitals in Pembrokehire, Carmarthenshrie | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
campaigners are in no doubt about why their mission is so important. | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
It is because you can cause lung cancer. | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
I am on the school council so we speak to the government and we | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
make school decisions about health and we go to the community. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Hospitals are supposed to help people with problems not to create | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Other hospitals will now be looking at how effective this | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
new public health persuasion proves to be and if it is, it could be | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
The Wales squad are back in their Brittany training camp | :19:49. | :20:03. | |
following yesterday's last-gasp defeat against England. | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Attention is now firmly fixed on Monday evening's match | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
against Russia which will determine if Wales make it into the knock-out | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
Let s head to Dinard and join Iwan Griffiths. | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
Good evening. Yes, after the bustle of Bordeaux, the loss in -- Lens, it | :20:24. | :20:35. | |
is back to Britain. Those who played yesterday have had a rest. We're | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
looking forward to that big game against Russia. Let's look forward | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
to the importance of that game in the company of the former Wales | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
midfielder. More than 24 hours after that defeat to England, did they | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
deserve to win? England played well. Their second-half performance showed | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
their power in bringing on Sturridge and Jamie Vardy and Wales couldn't | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
quite hold on. We were 60 seconds away from a heroin point which | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
almost would've got as through to the next round. Let's look at the | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
calculator. What do Wales need to do now on and a night against Russia? | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
Quite simply, if we win we are through. If we are beaten and lose | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
the game, we are struggling. We are dependent on other results. If it is | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
a draw, we need England to win. Which isn't something we say often! | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
The players need to be ready and looking to win the game against the | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
Russians. What should Chris Coleman expect from the Russians? A stubborn | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
side it isn't going to be a pretty game. We want to look to release | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale. It could go deep into the second half, | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
it will be nervy but I am confident we will get the job done. What does | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
Chris Coleman need to do now? It is all about recovering, making sure | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
the energy levels are Rob and making sure physically they are ready and | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
mentally. Thank you very much. They will be training at 11 tomorrow | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
morning. A press conference at 1:30pm. I will bring you the latest | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
tomorrow night. But for now, axed EU. -- back to you. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
After defeat in the first Test, Wales take on the New Zealand | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Coach Warren Gatland will be hoping for a much improved performance | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
following the midweek thrashing by provincial side the Chiefs. | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
From Wellington, here's Ross Harries. | :22:36. | :22:36. | |
The nation's capital, Wellington, is the setting for the second Test, | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
But Wales have had little time for sightseeing as they seek | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
to restore pride to the jersey after Tuesday's mauling | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
It was quite an embarrassing defeat for us, an embarrassing performance. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
But I suppose the nature of these things, you have to | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
dust it off pretty quickly and get on with it. | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
We're playing the All Blacks on Saturday so it isn't one | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
we can dwell on for longer than half a day, really. | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
As soon as we landed here in Wellington the boys | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
were on their laptops reviewing the Chiefs game but all eyes | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
Wellington is known as the Windy City and here in the | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Westpac Stadium the swirling winds can create havoc for the kickers. | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
They are putting in an extra bit of practice today and for that man | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
there on Saturday night, it is set to be a real baptism. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Really exciting thing to look forward to. | :23:31. | :23:31. | |
I'm sure Saturday night it will be bouncing and it will be a great | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
Last weekend was a really good game to | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
listen to on the radio, I'm sure it was great to watch. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
For 60 minutes the boys really went at it and it is important | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
we build on those 60 minutes and see where that takes us | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
These All Blacks have become the masters of closing out games. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
During that final quarter when the body tires and the mind | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
becomes less sharp, these players always find another gear. | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
If Wales are to record their first away win | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
over the All Blacks, they will have to stay | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
in the fight until the final whistle. | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
Tributes have been paid to the sports journalist | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
Peter Corrigan from the Vale of Glamorgan, who's | :24:20. | :24:21. | |
He started his writing career at the south Wales Echo | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
when he was just 16 before eventually becoming the sports | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
editor for The Observer newspaper and chief sports columnist | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
A number of properties have been flooded in Rhyl following heaving | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
The worst affected areas were Vale Road and Ffordd Derwen. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
After the water receded residents began drying out their homes. | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
Denbighshire Council said drains overflowed due to the high | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
We're in for some better weather this weekend. | :24:51. | :25:02. | |
The best of the sunshine on Saturday. | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
Some sunshine in Rhaeadr today but not everywhere stayed dry. | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
The radar shows torrential downpours in parts of mid and south Wales | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Langland Bay on Gower was hit by flash flooding this afternoon. | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
This evening heavy showers in the south and southeast | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
And a fresher night with lowest temperatures ten to 13 Celsius. | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
So here's the picture for eight in the morning. | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
Some patchy cloud but some sunshine as well. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
And it will feel quite pleasant with just a light breeze. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
So the weather in better shape tomorrow. | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
Most places dry with a mix of cloud and sunny spells. | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
The air more stable so any showers in the Marches will be light. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
15 to 19 Celsius but with light winds it will feel warm. | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
Now, Snowdon Rocks is taking place tomorrow. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
The weather dry with light winds but with mist and fog on the summit. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
17C in Barrybados with a westerly breeze. | :26:19. | :26:28. | |
Tomorrow evening dry with some sunshine. | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
Overnight dry but later in the night increasing cloud may bring a few | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
So a ridge of high pressure will bring drier, more settled | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
weather over the weekend but these fronts over the Atlantic | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
So for Sunday a bright start in the east otherwise cloudy. | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Some dry weather but a few spots of light rain and drizzle. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
And then during the evening it looks like we'll all see some rain. | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
So Saturday the best day of the weekend. | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
Next week, a damp start on Monday but brightening-up. | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
Tuesday drier and fresher with some sunshine. | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
The weather in Toulouse mixed and warm this weekend. | :27:04. | :27:05. | |
But for the match on Monday evening it should be dry. | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
Vigils have been held to remember the Labour MP Jo Cox, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
who died after being shot and stabbed in her | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
Politicians here, have been paying tribute to the 41-year-old, | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
described by former Labour leader Lord Kinnock as | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
"someone who fought for justice and fair play". | :27:25. | :27:31. | |
We'll be back with our next update after the BBC Ten o'clock news. | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
For now, from all of us on the programme, | :27:36. | :27:38. |
