Welcome to Wales Today, live from Toulouse Wales

:00:00.:00:07.

fans packed their bags, now all roads lead to Paris

:00:08.:00:10.

Tonight the scramble for hotels and more time off from work.

:00:11.:00:23.

I'm going to try and get a few days off work, if my boss is listening

:00:24.:00:30.

I'd like to pass on the message to him, if you could, please.

:00:31.:00:40.

Wales' First Minister says he'll bypass London, and deal directly

:00:41.:00:46.

with Brussels if the UK votes for Brexit on Thursday.

:00:47.:00:51.

And John Arthur Jones, in the light jacket,

:00:52.:00:53.

accused of endangering RAF jets tells a jury flights could be

:00:54.:00:56.

All day fans have frantically been re-arranging their plans,

:00:57.:01:09.

many thought they would be heading home after three games,

:01:10.:01:15.

underdogs normally don't end-up as group winners.

:01:16.:01:19.

Now Wales are preparing for a game in the last 16 in Paris on Saturday.

:01:20.:01:28.

They will face either Albania, Northern Ireland, Croatia, the Czech

:01:29.:01:37.

Republic or Turkey. We find out for certain tomorrow evening.

:01:38.:01:40.

It was an early start after a late-night and while the party

:01:41.:01:43.

is fortunately not over, it is time for the fans

:01:44.:01:46.

The mass exodus of Welsh fans from Toulouse has already begun.

:01:47.:01:49.

Plenty have been through the station already.

:01:50.:01:51.

The question is, with Wales not expected to top the group

:01:52.:01:54.

and end up in Paris, where are they going?

:01:55.:01:56.

We did think that we would be runners-up in the group,

:01:57.:01:58.

Maybe we'll have a nice weekend, girly weekend in Nice.

:01:59.:02:04.

But we've come top, so I think we're off to Paris on Saturday!

:02:05.:02:07.

English fans expected to win the group so they've got hold

:02:08.:02:11.

of all these tickets for Paris, and now they finished second

:02:12.:02:13.

So, thankfully, I knew an English guy who was disappointed

:02:14.:02:17.

But wherever they are heading the doing so with a huge

:02:18.:02:24.

Perhaps Wales's greatest ever moment.

:02:25.:02:29.

And what a time to score your first ever goal for Wales.

:02:30.:02:32.

An unbelievable feeling, to get it in the Urals as well.

:02:33.:02:35.

In the last game in the group stages is very special.

:02:36.:02:41.

And, of course, it wouldn't be a Wales win

:02:42.:02:46.

It was a night of celebration is both an and off the pitch.

:02:47.:02:53.

Joe Ledley providing the moves while the fans offered

:02:54.:02:55.

the soundtrack of their own special performance.

:02:56.:03:02.

Those few were joined by more fans from home, several thousand travel

:03:03.:03:12.

companies are chartering flights, finding ferries and booking coaches

:03:13.:03:14.

to take fans to Paris, and even bring some of them

:03:15.:03:17.

The support, wherever it has come from, has not gone unnoticed.

:03:18.:03:22.

They've been absolutely unbelievable during this campaign.

:03:23.:03:27.

As a nation, geographically we are small.

:03:28.:03:35.

But, I think you if are judging us on passion, you could describe us

:03:36.:03:39.

as a continent tonight, that was amazing.

:03:40.:03:41.

Chris Coleman's team now face another step into the unknown

:03:42.:03:43.

But the fans will be following closely not wanting

:03:44.:03:49.

to miss a moment of the historic Euro 2016 journey.

:03:50.:03:56.

By finishing top of the group Wales should have a more comfortable route

:03:57.:03:59.

through the knockout phase of the tournament.

:04:00.:04:02.

The players were cheered by locals as they returned to their base

:04:03.:04:05.

Iwan Griffiths is there for us, any word from the Wales camp today?

:04:06.:04:14.

Good Evening, Tomos, well, they spent the morning

:04:15.:04:17.

where you are in Toulouse getting a chance to see friends

:04:18.:04:20.

and family and relax briefly, before they get back to work.

:04:21.:04:24.

As you say, they flew safely back here to Dinard this afternoon, where

:04:25.:04:28.

Chris Coleman will be keen to move on from the victory against Russia

:04:29.:04:34.

and get his team ready for that last 16 game.

:04:35.:04:39.

No matter who they face in Parc de Princes on Saturday.

:04:40.:04:42.

So let me bring you some fascinating facts from EURO 2016,

:04:43.:04:49.

so far Wales top of their group - and the tournament's top scorer

:04:50.:04:55.

as we stand, is a Welshman, Gareth Bale with three goals.

:04:56.:04:58.

The top scoring country with six goals- Wales.

:04:59.:05:06.

Aaron Ramsey, and Bale got on the score sheet last night

:05:07.:05:08.

in Toulouse, so too, Neil Taylor the last time he scored

:05:09.:05:11.

was for Wrexham, that was six years ago, but against Russia

:05:12.:05:17.

There will be a press conference tomorrow afternoon at 1.30,

:05:18.:05:25.

a chance to hear the very latest from the Wales camp, and I'll bring

:05:26.:05:29.

you all the details from Dinard on tomorrow night s programme.

:05:30.:05:36.

Wales making all the headlines today in the papers here.

:05:37.:05:43.

Le fantastic show Gallois, Wales pulverised Russia -

:05:44.:05:48.

they showed they have the best supporters in the world.

:05:49.:05:54.

Qualified top of their group, and even better, finished

:05:55.:06:00.

I'm sure Chris Coleman would love similar headlines

:06:01.:06:05.

Good evening, now the rest of the day s news.

:06:06.:06:11.

The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, has said he'll talk to Brussels

:06:12.:06:14.

directly if the UK votes to leave the EU in Thursday's referendum.

:06:15.:06:17.

He suggested Wales could retain links with the EU,

:06:18.:06:20.

This referendum has caused splits, and turned rivals into allies.

:06:21.:06:33.

Labour's Carwyn Jones playing for the Remain side

:06:34.:06:37.

with the Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood, in Cardiff

:06:38.:06:40.

The campaign is in injury time, but the stakes are high.

:06:41.:06:47.

If there is a leave vote on Friday, we'll take steps to talk to the EU

:06:48.:06:50.

I'm not going to rely on that lot in the Brexit campaign to represent

:06:51.:06:55.

So it's hugely important that we get the best deal

:06:56.:07:00.

But those campaigning to Leave save the UK should

:07:01.:07:04.

Britain together will fight for the best deal that we can get

:07:05.:07:09.

with the entire world, unilaterally, trade deals,

:07:10.:07:13.

We don't need to be fighting individually.

:07:14.:07:24.

We cn all pitch in together, we are unified nation.

:07:25.:07:26.

Before his appearance with Leanne Wood Mr Jones joined

:07:27.:07:29.

Labour AMs and former party leader Lord Kinnock to warn that Brexit

:07:30.:07:32.

would put Wales at a disadvantage and scare off investors.

:07:33.:07:39.

Not so says the Welsh Tory leader, Andrew RT Davies at a business

:07:40.:07:42.

in Newport, which, like him, wants out.

:07:43.:07:45.

There's too much red tape from Brussels, they say.

:07:46.:07:49.

And that's the end of the process, there then, is it?

:07:50.:07:51.

Not quite the end, there's another full day of campaigning tomorrow,

:07:52.:07:56.

but the end, and the big decision for voters is in sight.

:07:57.:08:03.

Our political editor, Nick Servini, will be taking any questions

:08:04.:08:05.

you have on the EU referendum on the BBC Wales News Facebook page

:08:06.:08:08.

A man has died after reports that he was hit by a boat

:08:09.:08:17.

Allen Stanley, from Nefyn, was swimming off the coast

:08:18.:08:20.

of the Maltese island of Gozo on Saturday.

:08:21.:08:26.

A public inquiry into controversial proposals for an M4 relief road

:08:27.:08:28.

around Newport will be held in the Autumn.

:08:29.:08:32.

The Economy Secretary Ken Skates says "all alternatives"

:08:33.:08:35.

A man accused of 13 charges of endangering the lives of RAF

:08:36.:08:43.

pilots by shining a torch into their cockpits has said

:08:44.:08:46.

he wasn't in the area, when some of the offences

:08:47.:08:49.

John Arthur Jones from Anglesey told Mold Crown Court he was in dispute

:08:50.:08:55.

with the RAF over the noise from low-flying planes,

:08:56.:08:57.

Arriving at court this morning John Arthur Jones denies shining

:08:58.:09:08.

a torch into the cockpit of aircraft passing over his land.

:09:09.:09:13.

At times, he said, you wasn't even at home when the offences

:09:14.:09:16.

The court heard his property is close to an airfield,

:09:17.:09:20.

The prosecution say he developed an obsession about the RAF

:09:21.:09:25.

Trainee pilots reported being distracted by a light

:09:26.:09:29.

Four undercover police officers were deployed to watch him.

:09:30.:09:36.

During the prosecution case the court was told John Arthur Jones

:09:37.:09:39.

was identified by an undercover officer during a recce

:09:40.:09:43.

From the witness box he told the jury he was in Manchester

:09:44.:09:49.

at the time, and had the paperwork to prove it.

:09:50.:09:51.

Let's see what the weather has in store, Sue Charles

:09:52.:10:00.

After a mixed start to the week turning humid tomorrow,

:10:01.:10:05.

with sunny spells but rain for some too.

:10:06.:10:07.

Tonight starts fine and dry, but cloud thickening and warm

:10:08.:10:10.

southerly winds pushing up some rain from the south and feeling

:10:11.:10:14.

That rain is courtesy of this front pushing up from the Bay of Biscay

:10:15.:10:20.

which should clear away eastwards again later tomorrow.

:10:21.:10:24.

So tomorrow could be grey and damp in the morning,

:10:25.:10:27.

patchy rain lingering further south and east, some heavier pulses too,

:10:28.:10:32.

the best of the brightness further north and west with sunny spells

:10:33.:10:35.

here and feeling quite humid as South Westerly winds

:10:36.:10:39.

draw up that warmer air, temperatures back in the 20s

:10:40.:10:41.

again in Flintshire, highs teens along Cardigan Bay.

:10:42.:10:45.

Tomorrow night that patchy rain in the South East peters out,

:10:46.:10:49.

mist and murk clearing, turning drier overnight

:10:50.:10:53.

clearing from the west, overnight lows between 9

:10:54.:10:56.

Later in the week we're caught between these two weather fronts,

:10:57.:11:01.

high pressure trying to build, but low pressure either side

:11:02.:11:03.

could bring some showers as we continue to drag in humid air

:11:04.:11:07.

Thursday's looking mainly dry with sunny spells, cloudy at times,

:11:08.:11:14.

maybe the odd shower, light winds and temperatures holding

:11:15.:11:17.

Then Friday and into the weekend, similar really, staying quite

:11:18.:11:25.

warm with sunny spells, but also the chance of a few showers

:11:26.:11:28.

Finally today's picture sunny spells, but also some big cumulus

:11:29.:11:33.

shower clouds taken by weather watcher James

:11:34.:11:36.

Similar sights over the next few days.

:11:37.:11:44.

For the last word tonight, back to Toulouse, and Tomos Dafydd.

:11:45.:11:46.

Wales defied all expectations to make it into the knock out

:11:47.:11:52.

stages, fans feared it would all end against Russia but now they're

:11:53.:11:57.

This trip to Toulouse will certainly live long in the memory,

:11:58.:12:10.

Just four games stand between Chris:'s team and the trophy. The

:12:11.:12:20.

team heads to Paris tonight. We have all the build up ahead of that game

:12:21.:12:26.

on Saturday. Tomorrow we find Abu they will face. But make no mistake,

:12:27.:12:32.

this trip will live long in the memory. From all of us, good

:12:33.:12:42.

evening. This, for Wales, is it. And Wales win the league! His first ever

:12:43.:12:51.

goal for Wales. Bale is onside. Surely, this time! Fantastic.

:12:52.:12:58.

Absolutely fantastic. What a result. We are top of the league! We are top

:12:59.:13:02.
