:01:20. > :01:29.today. The campaign is in injury time and the stakes are high.
:01:30. > :01:34.We have to take steps to talk to the US and Wales on Friday if we Brexit.
:01:35. > :01:37.We are going to get the best deal for Wales, whatever happens. But
:01:38. > :01:42.those campaigning to leave say the UK should speak with one voice.
:01:43. > :01:48.Britain together will fight for the best deal that we can get with the
:01:49. > :01:53.entire world, unilaterally trade deals, but also with the EU, with
:01:54. > :01:56.the 27 nations that remain. And we don't need to be fighting
:01:57. > :01:59.individually. We can all pitch in together will stop we are reunified

:02:14. > :02:19.investors. We are campaigning very strongly, as we have throughout, the
:02:20. > :02:22.great danger to the economy, to jobs and working conditions, and
:02:23. > :02:26.investment if we leave the European Union.
:02:27. > :02:32.It is not a scare story. Not so, says the Welsh Tory leader
:02:33. > :02:36.Andrew Artie Davis. At a business in Newport which, like him, wants out.
:02:37. > :02:41.We know that 100% of businesses have to subscribe to the EU rules and
:02:42. > :02:45.regulations, yet only about 5% of businesses export to the EU. That
:02:46. > :02:48.has a huge cost on the bottom line of businesses, and if they were
:02:49. > :02:51.relieved of that day, they could employ more people and create
:02:52. > :02:55.quality jobs and communities are desperately need those jobs.
:02:56. > :02:57.It has been a long campaign, and both sides say the result is too
:02:58. > :03:03.close to call. And that is the end of the process,
:03:04. > :03:06.is it? Not quite the end. There is another full day of
:03:07. > :03:09.campaigning tomorrow, but the end, and a big decision for voters, is in
:03:10. > :03:09.sight. And with just two days
:03:10. > :03:12.to go until we decide whether to leave or remain,
:03:13. > :03:14.as a member of the EU, have we lost the ability
:03:15. > :03:17.to run our own affairs, or are we happy to share
:03:18. > :03:19.some of our power Sovereignty - who has the power
:03:20. > :03:29.to run our affairs - is at the heart of this referendum
:03:30. > :03:40.debate for some, as our political Time is running out, but with some
:03:41. > :03:44.voters still undecided, both sides of the campaign are making a
:03:45. > :03:50.last-minute - for support. In deciding how to vote on Thursday,
:03:51. > :03:53.some will consider the issue of the economy, the pound in their pockets,
:03:54. > :03:56.how much money they have for the weekly shop if we vote to leave or
:03:57. > :04:01.remain in the EU. Many will consider the issue of immigration, and yet
:04:02. > :04:06.for others, it boils down to sovereignty. Where does power like?
:04:07. > :04:09.Who should make the decisions that affect our everyday lives?
:04:10. > :04:15.Government here in the UK, or the European Union?
:04:16. > :04:19.Take the so-called tampon tax. For years, campaigners have been calling
:04:20. > :04:24.on the UK Government is clap the VAT charged unsanitary product. But
:04:25. > :04:27.under EU law, they were unable to do so, unless all 28 member states of
:04:28. > :04:33.the EU agreed to the change, which they did, back in March. Remain
:04:34. > :04:37.campaigners say it shows that the UK can influence the EU's future
:04:38. > :04:42.direction, but Leave supporters say it is just another example of the
:04:43. > :04:45.EU's rigidity, Brussels meddling in our affairs.
:04:46. > :04:50.That was part of the deal when we joined back in 1973. We gave up some
:04:51. > :04:56.powers in order to join the European trading bloc. We pool power in other
:04:57. > :05:00.ways as well, for example, with Nato. The UK Government plays by the
:05:01. > :05:06.military alliance's rules, because it thinks unbalance it is a
:05:07. > :05:09.worthwhile trade-off. The question being asked in this referendum is if
:05:10. > :05:14.the same can be said about the EU. Is it worth ruling out powers in the
:05:15. > :05:17.union so that we can, for example, sell Welsh lamb to 27 other
:05:18. > :05:24.countries without paying export taxes? Or are some of the benefits
:05:25. > :05:27.of our membership outweighed by not being able to take all of our own
:05:28. > :05:29.decisions? The Americans don't give up any of
:05:30. > :05:34.their sovereignty whatsoever to sell their product on the European
:05:35. > :05:40.market. Why do we have to? The truth is, we don't. This referendum is the
:05:41. > :05:44.chance for the people to claim that sovereignty back.
:05:45. > :05:47.As you were bringing up sovereignty, it is something that is absolutely
:05:48. > :05:52.necessary in the modern world. If we aren't going to tackle the problems,
:05:53. > :05:55.like international crime pollution, for example, countries have to work
:05:56. > :05:58.together. It is unlikely such arguments
:05:59. > :06:00.pierced the public consciousness on a day-to-day basis. But this
:06:01. > :06:06.referendum is no everyday occurrence. And on Thursday, it is
:06:07. > :06:07.you that has the ultimate power to decide the country's future
:06:08. > :06:07.direction. And you can get more information
:06:08. > :06:09.on the EU Referendum campaign That's bbc.co.uk/walesnews

:06:14. > :06:26.have frantically been re-arranging their plans,
:06:27. > :06:28.as many thought they would be But at Euro 2016, Wales are now
:06:29. > :06:36.preparing for a game in the last 16 They'll face either Albania,
:06:37. > :06:45.Northern Ireland, Croatia, We'll know for certain tomorrow
:06:46. > :06:53.evening. It was an early start after a
:06:54. > :06:58.late-night, and while the party is for Jilly far from over, now it is
:06:59. > :07:01.time for the fans to serious. The mass exodus of Welsh fans from
:07:02. > :07:06.Toulouse has already begun. Plenty have come through the station
:07:07. > :07:10.already. The question is, with Wales not expected to top the group and
:07:11. > :07:12.end up in Paris next, where are they all going?
:07:13. > :07:15.We thought we would come runners-up in the group, so we thought maybe we
:07:16. > :07:21.would have a nice weekend in Nice, but we have come top, so I think we
:07:22. > :07:24.are off to Paris on Saturday! English fans expected to win the
:07:25. > :07:28.group, so they have got hold of all these tickets for Paris, and now, of
:07:29. > :07:33.course, they finished second and are trying to off-load them. So frankly,
:07:34. > :07:36.I knew an English guy who is a bit disappointed, and snapped it up.
:07:37. > :07:40.But wherever they are heading, they are doing so with a huge smile on
:07:41. > :07:43.their faces. Hats Wales' greatest ever moment.
:07:44. > :07:46.Taylor, can he finished? And water time to score your first
:07:47. > :07:49.ever goal for Wales? And believable feeling to get it in
:07:50. > :07:55.the Euros, as well. In the last game in the group stages, very special. I
:07:56. > :07:57.did my best to miss it, but scored on the second attempt.
:07:58. > :08:02.And of course, it would not be a Wales win without the Gareth Bale
:08:03. > :08:06.goal. It was a night of celebrations, both
:08:07. > :08:12.on and off the pitch. Joe Ledley provided the moves, while the fans
:08:13. > :08:16.offered a soundtrack of their own special performance. We are top of
:08:17. > :08:19.the league! We are top of the league!
:08:20. > :08:21.Awesome. Can't believe it. Best game ever.
:08:22. > :08:26.And those here will be joined by more fans from home soon. Several
:08:27. > :08:29.travel companies are hurriedly chartering flights, finding ferries
:08:30. > :08:34.and booking coaches to take fans to Paris, and even bring some home on
:08:35. > :08:37.the same day. The support, wherever it has come from, has not gone
:08:38. > :08:41.unnoticed. Fantastic. They have been absolutely
:08:42. > :08:44.unbelievable this campaign. Their support, the way they have behaved,
:08:45. > :08:46.and it just makes us proud to be Welsh.
:08:47. > :08:52.As a nation, geographically, we are small. But I think if you judge as
:08:53. > :08:56.on passion, I think you can describe us as a continent.
:08:57. > :09:00.Chris Coleman's men now face another step into the unknown in Paris on
:09:01. > :09:03.Saturday. But the fans, as always, we'll be following closely, not
:09:04. > :09:05.wanting to miss a moment of the hysteric Euro 26 in journey.
:09:06. > :09:07.The union representing Tata steel's workers says it has "serious
:09:08. > :09:09.concerns" about the integrity of the way the business
:09:10. > :09:12.is being sold off, including the steel works at Port Talbot.
:09:13. > :09:14.The community union says three months after the announcement
:09:15. > :09:17.of the sale, steelworkers are "less certain of their future than ever".
:09:18. > :09:28.Tata says it's committed to an urgent sale process.
:09:29. > :09:30.A second man has been charged with the murder
:09:31. > :09:35.Robert Lainsbury, who's 22 and originally from Kidderminster,
:09:36. > :09:37.has been remanded in custody, accused of killing Mr Brewster
:09:38. > :09:42.in the Llanedeyrn area of the city earlier this month.
:09:43. > :09:45.The police are also appealing for a third man to come forward,

:10:11. > :10:23.Arriving at court this morning, John Arthur Jones denies shining a torch
:10:24. > :10:28.into the cockpit of aircraft passing over his land. At times, he said he
:10:29. > :10:31.wasn't even at home when the offences were alleged to have
:10:32. > :10:38.happened. The court heard his property is close to Mona airfield,
:10:39. > :10:41.a reserve airfield for RAF Valley. The prosecution say he developed an
:10:42. > :10:45.accession with the RAF and low-flying. Trainee pilots reported
:10:46. > :10:48.being distracted by a light as they flew close to his land. For
:10:49. > :10:54.undercover police officers were deployed to watch him.
:10:55. > :10:58.During the prosecution case, the court was told John Arthur Jones was
:10:59. > :11:03.identified by an undercover officer during a recce of his property. From
:11:04. > :11:06.the witness box, he told the jury he was in Manchester at the time, and

:11:40. > :12:00.The night, dry spells, but rain thicket and winds pushing up from
:12:01. > :12:05.the south. Feeling quite muddy overnight. That rain is courtesy of
:12:06. > :12:08.this front, pushing up from the Bay of Biscay, which should clear
:12:09. > :12:11.eastwards later tomorrow. Also, another front harvest at the

:12:17. > :12:20.patchy rain in the south and east, brightest further north and west,
:12:21. > :12:24.and across the UK, where we saw those fronts, that is where we are
:12:25. > :12:28.most likely to see any rain. The line across the Midlands, Wales,
:12:29. > :12:32.this up as England and Northern Ireland, for western Scotland, but
:12:33. > :12:35.for most of the UK, best of the brightness across northern England,

:12:42. > :12:46.South-westerly winds during humid air. More likely to see mid to high
