:01:42. > :01:45.they will underestimate it. It is going to take a big performance.

:02:18. > :02:25.The big beasts of Welsh Labour hit the streets of Pontypridd to try to
:02:26. > :02:42.persuade voters to remain in the EU. Wearing white roses in memory of the
:02:43. > :02:50.murdered MP Jo Cox. Lord Murphy and Lord Hain, a pair of former Welsh
:02:51. > :02:55.secretaries. The big focus is now in the valleys because not enough
:02:56. > :03:03.people are like him. Too many are ignoring the wishes of the party's
:03:04. > :03:08.leadership and considering a Leave vote because of concerns about
:03:09. > :03:15.immigration. It has been difficult, especially in the valleys where
:03:16. > :03:20.there has been support for Leave. My opinion is that there is a definite
:03:21. > :03:27.change of move and now a trend towards Remain. This is a safe
:03:28. > :03:32.Labour seat but it is a striking feature of the campaign that areas
:03:33. > :03:37.that are not used to tight political contests like the South Wales
:03:38. > :03:41.valleys, find themselves in the middle of the political action. It
:03:42. > :03:46.is the message getting through? I don't know. I swing from one to
:03:47. > :03:54.another. I just don't know. I will decide on the day. Jobs,
:03:55. > :03:58.opportunities, the ability to move freely around Europe. No one has
:03:59. > :04:05.presented any facts that persuade me we should vote out. Out. They have
:04:06. > :04:16.had a go at in and they haven't done a very good job. Leave campaigners
:04:17. > :04:27.have said that Wales may have extra money in the event of a Leave.
:04:28. > :04:30.Members of the Leave campaign have categorically confirmed that when we
:04:31. > :04:35.leave the EU that farmers will continue to get the money they
:04:36. > :04:41.receive, that all the money that the EU has promised to 2020 will be
:04:42. > :04:44.continued to be received. There will be plenty of conversations on both
:04:45. > :04:46.sides as the final flurry of campaigning gets underway.
:04:47. > :04:48.Well, Nick's here with the First Minister Carwyn Jones
:04:49. > :04:53.And the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies
:04:54. > :04:54.who wants Britain to Leave the European Union.
:04:55. > :05:09.Thanks. First Minister, as long as we are in the EU, we cannot control
:05:10. > :05:13.immigration from the EU. What it is wrong with wanting to control
:05:14. > :05:19.immigration? You talk as if there is no passport control. There is.
:05:20. > :05:25.50,000 people who work in the NHS are from the EU. People feel
:05:26. > :05:29.concerned about job security but blaming immigrants is not the way to
:05:30. > :05:35.deal with it. People need proper job security through laws. Do you accept
:05:36. > :05:43.that we can't control it? Jeremy Corbyn said that. We have 3 million
:05:44. > :05:48.people in Wales. We have 47,000 EU citizens. A tiny proportion. There
:05:49. > :05:54.are 2 million UK citizens who live in countries outside the UK. Andrew,
:05:55. > :06:02.are you happy with the tone of the Leave campaign. Baroness Warsi left
:06:03. > :06:09.today saying it was xenophobic. The tone outlines what people are
:06:10. > :06:16.saying. He clearly didn't say we have control over immigration. I
:06:17. > :06:21.support somebody who supports migration because I see it as a
:06:22. > :06:25.positive economic driver. However, all these decisions are taken in
:06:26. > :06:30.Brussels by unelected commissioners. If we want to be responsible for the
:06:31. > :06:33.borders of this country, we have to leave the European Union and hold
:06:34. > :06:39.politicians to account at the ballot box. There is immigration out of
:06:40. > :06:49.control in Wales? I'm positive about immigration. So it is a positive. In
:06:50. > :06:54.some places it is a problem and in others it is perceived problem. But
:06:55. > :06:59.there is a problem over the government's inability be to control
:07:00. > :07:05.borders and red tape. To take back that control we need to vote Leave.
:07:06. > :07:10.I spend a lot of my time trying to bring investment into Wales. We have
:07:11. > :07:14.unemployment figures lower than Scotland and Northern Ireland. Every
:07:15. > :07:19.investor that comes to Wales sees it as a base for the European market.
:07:20. > :07:24.If we can't guarantee access to that market, they won't come. They will
:07:25. > :07:30.go to Ireland, France, Germany. It is what Ford have said. It is what
:07:31. > :07:34.Nissan have said. It jeopardises jobs for working people. Are we
:07:35. > :07:38.going to listen to those who employ thousands across the UK or dismiss
:07:39. > :07:43.their concerns? I want to make sure that we are confident country within
:07:44. > :07:48.the EU working with other countries like ours rather than shouting on
:07:49. > :07:54.the sidelines. Much better to be on the pitch playing rather than on the
:07:55. > :07:56.sidelines. Being governed by European guidelines rather than
:07:57. > :08:02.controlling them which is where Norway is now. We've seen the
:08:03. > :08:09.strengthening of the pound off the back of polling at the weekend which
:08:10. > :08:13.is more towards Remain. If there is economic downturn, it won't be the
:08:14. > :08:19.wealthy parts of the UK, it will be Wales, who will suffer. Can we
:08:20. > :08:24.afford to stay within the European Union? The Eurozone is one of the
:08:25. > :08:39.weakest areas of growth in the world. There is only Antarctica with
:08:40. > :08:46.a lower growth rate. James Dyson has come out for Leave. Many are saying
:08:47. > :08:51.that there is nothing to be feared from Brexit. Do people want to hold
:08:52. > :08:55.politicians to account, to safeguard our borders, make sure we don't move
:08:56. > :09:09.into a federal state of Europe with in income tax powers and an army.
:09:10. > :09:16.That is a fallacy. A lot of people see migrant workers cutting wages
:09:17. > :09:20.and keeping a lid on wage increases. Where is it happening? We know that
:09:21. > :09:25.there migrant workers in Wales working in jobs where it is
:09:26. > :09:30.difficult to recruit local people. Abattoirs will tell you that. Miss,
:09:31. > :09:35.Richard Branson, the English Premier League, they are all saying that
:09:36. > :09:41.Brexit is bad for Britain. We have those employees in Wales. Brexit is
:09:42. > :09:47.saying that their views are of no importance. I deal with those people
:09:48. > :09:53.regularly. Tata, all this uncertainty doesn't help. We don't
:09:54. > :10:01.want them to say when the tough got going, Britain run away. The notion
:10:02. > :10:08.of EU aid in Wales. If we were to see a Brexit, Andrew, your own prime
:10:09. > :10:14.ministers said in that chair and he said he could not guarantee any
:10:15. > :10:24.shortfall in EU funding for deprived communities in Wales because part of
:10:25. > :10:29.Brexit. We spend between 18 and 19 billion to be part of the EU and we
:10:30. > :10:33.get back about 9 billion. There will be a surplus to. We have to have an
:10:34. > :10:37.eye on where the money is disbursed. We are part of the United Kingdom.
:10:38. > :10:47.It is imperative that government spreads it around. No guarantees. No
:10:48. > :10:51.politician will give a guarantee. The people vote at the ballot box.
:10:52. > :10:57.There is no guarantee of European money continuing. It will only be
:10:58. > :11:08.until 2020. The common agricultural policy is now under 40% of the EU
:11:09. > :11:12.budget. From a Welsh perspective, we lose 245 million straightaway. It is
:11:13. > :11:24.money we cannot make up. It comes from Europe. Andrew is like Boris
:11:25. > :11:33.Johnson and others, he cannot guarantee it. He cannot guarantee
:11:34. > :11:38.that money how can you guarantee it? Yes, it is there. It is coming from
:11:39. > :11:46.Brussels. The money is there. I can see it. Farmers can see it now. You
:11:47. > :11:51.are saying that money will disappear into a money box in Whitehall. It
:11:52. > :11:58.will be secured because everybody has to have full security. ?260
:11:59. > :12:01.million of money coming into Wales to our farmers, there is no
:12:02. > :12:09.guarantee that will come to Wales from Whitehall. Now, our farmers are
:12:10. > :12:15.guaranteed that money. It will continue. The First Minister is the
:12:16. > :12:23.leader of a government with the highest modulation of funding. If we
:12:24. > :12:28.take control on Thursday, we will get that back. You did say there
:12:29. > :12:38.will be a collapse in farming in the event of Brexit. Our farmers in
:12:39. > :12:41.Wales get ?260 million per year. I've dealt with Whitehall
:12:42. > :12:49.departments. They're not interested in farmers in Wales. You cut a hill
:12:50. > :12:53.farming support. Our farmers rely on exporting to the European market. It
:12:54. > :12:58.will increase the price of Welsh lamb in Europe. They want a free
:12:59. > :13:04.trade agreement with New Zealand. That means more cheap New Zealand
:13:05. > :13:10.lamb. The introduction of tariffs is obviously going to be difficult. We
:13:11. > :13:11.have to leave it there. Andrew R T Davies and Carwyn Jones, thank you.
:13:12. > :13:14.Nick, thank you. You can get more information
:13:15. > :13:17.on the EU Referendum campaign in Wales on the BBC News website
:13:18. > :13:22.- bbc.co.uk/Walesnews - and follow the link
:13:23. > :13:27.to the EU Referendum page. it's a big night for Wales
:13:28. > :13:34.at the football championships. They take on Russia in a crunch game
:13:35. > :13:49.in just over an hour's time. Not long to go now. Thousands of
:13:50. > :13:56.fans have started to arrive here at the stadium in Toulouse. It promises
:13:57. > :14:01.to be a night of high drama. Anything could happen. Wales could
:14:02. > :14:07.progress to the last 16 but could also be heading home. Wales's group
:14:08. > :14:15.is wide open. Wales could finish first, second, third or, maybe,
:14:16. > :14:20.fourth. The fans have been considering the permutation for
:14:21. > :14:26.days. It's complicated. A win for Wales, they are through. A draw is
:14:27. > :14:35.likely to be enough. Here is the latest. A warm up for the fans.
:14:36. > :14:40.Russia versus Wales, a friendly before the main event this evening.
:14:41. > :14:46.A game of such significance, tonight's result for this Welshman
:14:47. > :14:53.and his Russian wife might have implications for their relation
:14:54. > :14:57.ship. It may deteriorate depending on the result. The fairest result
:14:58. > :15:03.will be a draw. I think it will be 1-1. Then we can go home happy and
:15:04. > :15:10.we will be speaking together and everything will be happy. This game
:15:11. > :15:15.ended 3-3. That would suit this family. Other supporters want a
:15:16. > :15:20.victory. We need to believe in ourselves. We were ponderous on the
:15:21. > :15:26.ball against England. If we can push up we can beat them. Wales fans will
:15:27. > :15:30.be discussing the permutations, what result means what in Group B? Beat
:15:31. > :15:36.Russia and Wales will finish first or second and through to the
:15:37. > :15:41.knockout stages. A draw will see them finish second or third.
:15:42. > :15:45.Finished third and a place in the last 16 depends on other results.
:15:46. > :15:52.Even if Wales lose to Russia, they can still make third if England beat
:15:53. > :15:56.Slovakia. We could have done better with the ball against England and we
:15:57. > :16:01.have been looking to put that right on the training pitch. The boys are
:16:02. > :16:07.relaxed. We know what we need to do. We are looking forward to the game.
:16:08. > :16:13.We don't have to say too much. The preparation is done. The party is
:16:14. > :16:19.well underway. The fans wearing red in the pink city are here to enjoy
:16:20. > :16:25.it. The security may have been upgraded from medium to high after
:16:26. > :16:31.violence in Marseille but the atmosphere over night and through
:16:32. > :16:35.the afternoon has been relaxed. Have few Russian guys were with us having
:16:36. > :16:40.edging and a singalong, sharing pictures. We just been having
:16:41. > :16:49.photographs with them. It's been brilliant. Very friendly. Fantastic.
:16:50. > :16:54.It's been underwhelming for Russia, drawing with England and losing to
:16:55. > :16:59.Slovakia. The centre-back pairing has a combine age of 70 and they are
:17:00. > :17:03.missing key players. Having said that, Wales have never won against
:17:04. > :17:12.tonight's opponents. The disappointment of missing out in a
:17:13. > :17:18.place in the Euro 2004 finals in Wales was devastating. We were
:17:19. > :17:24.devastated the night. We did really well in Moscow but we didn't play in
:17:25. > :17:29.the home game. We failed in 2003. What an opportunity these players
:17:30. > :17:32.have to get back into the last 16. I don't think they will
:17:33. > :17:39.underestimated. If we can defend like we know we can. Their
:17:40. > :17:42.centre-backs are 34 and 36. We need to stretch them and give a fantastic
:17:43. > :17:48.performance which is what it will take tonight. A win to bury the
:17:49. > :17:56.heartache of previous campaigns. Tonight is not a time to lose. It
:17:57. > :18:00.was thought that Wales would have to play in their away top but after an
:18:01. > :18:02.agreement with Uefa and Russia they will play in their home strip
:18:03. > :18:06.instead. Read for Wales tonight. Much more to come
:18:07. > :18:19.before seven o'clock The campaign warning of the dangers
:18:20. > :18:27.of swimming in reservoirs and why men are being targeted. Today is the
:18:28. > :18:31.start of the summer solstice. It didn't feel like it today but there
:18:32. > :18:33.is better weather on the way. More in a free minutes.
:18:34. > :18:40.That's how one Welsh MP described "the sense of loss and grief" felt
:18:41. > :18:42.after the murder of his colleague, Jo Cox.
:18:43. > :18:44.Mrs Cox died after being shot and stabbed in her Yorkshire
:18:45. > :18:47.constituency and today Welsh MPs and peers were among those
:18:48. > :18:49.who returned to Westminster to pay their tributes.
:18:50. > :18:51.Our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock, was there.
:18:52. > :18:59.Today, MPs gathered in Parliament Square to remember
:19:00. > :19:12.tears and flowers - but laughter too -
:19:13. > :19:19.Jo Cox was Stephen Doughty's boss when they worked for Oxfam.
:19:20. > :19:38.She once told me in a one-to-one meeting as my manager that she
:19:39. > :19:39.didn't do touchy feely. That irony was too emotional and needed to get
:19:40. > :19:42.on with it. The widely-worn
:19:43. > :19:43.white roses - of Yorkshire - Nobody said no. I immediately said
:19:44. > :19:52.yes. Jo Cox's first job after university
:19:53. > :19:54.was working for Glenys Kinnock, Lady Kinnock said her death had left
:19:55. > :20:07.so many feeling emptiness. We must overcome that. Jo Cox would
:20:08. > :20:10.have said, don't moan, work, organise and campaign for a better
:20:11. > :20:13.world. I hope that we would and we will.
:20:14. > :20:17.Stephen Kinnock's best friend in Parliament.
:20:18. > :20:23.He told MPs she'd have been outraged by a pro-Brexit poster featuring
:20:24. > :20:25.refugees and the slogan Breaking Point.
:20:26. > :20:29.He said there were lessons for politics from the way she died.
:20:30. > :20:39.This is our time to honour the legacy of the proud Yorkshire lass
:20:40. > :20:43.who dedicated her life to the common good and who was so cruelly taken
:20:44. > :20:48.away from us in the prime of her life. Jo Cox, we love you. We salute
:20:49. > :20:54.you. And we shall never forget you. A memorial service was held
:20:55. > :20:57.in a Westminster church. The shared grief etched on the faces
:20:58. > :20:59.of politicians struggling David - an emotional
:21:00. > :21:03.day in parliament - after months of politicians
:21:04. > :21:16.being very divided - Very emotional House of Commons
:21:17. > :21:25.today. The way in which Jo Cox died has sparked a debate about the tone
:21:26. > :21:32.of politics. MPs discussing how to disagree without being disagreeable.
:21:33. > :21:37.It has also sparked a debate about MP's security. Stephen Kinnock for
:21:38. > :21:41.one doesn't want high-security to stop him talking to his
:21:42. > :21:44.constituents. He said that would let the bad guys win. Thank you.
:21:45. > :21:47.Two brothers, who were both teachers in Gwynedd,
:21:48. > :21:51.have pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children.
:21:52. > :21:53.Dr Robyn Wheldon-Williams pleaded guilty to eight charges
