Welcome to Wales Today. Our top stories:

Wales' First Minister says he'll bypass London

and deal directly with Brussels if the UK votes

And Wales football fans pack their bags.

Now all roads lead to Paris for the next journey in Euro 2016.

Wales could make its own agreements with the European Union if there's

a Leave vote in Thursday's referendum, according

Carwyn Jones says he'll talk to Brussels directly,

suggesting Wales could retain links with the EU even if

Here's our political correspondent Daniel Davies.

This referendum has cause splits and turned rivals into allies. Labour's

Carwyn Jones playing for the Remain side with Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood

today. The campaign is in injury time and the stakes are high.

We have to take steps to talk to the US and Wales on Friday if we Brexit.

We are going to get the best deal for Wales, whatever happens. But

those campaigning to leave say the UK should speak with one voice.

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

entire world, unilaterally trade deals, but also with the EU, with

the 27 nations that remain. And we don't need to be fighting

individually. We can all pitch in together will stop we are reunified

nation. Before his appearance with Leanne

Wood, Mr Jones joined Labour AM is an former party leader Lloyd Kinnock

to warn that Brexit would put Wales at a disadvantage and scare off

investors. We are campaigning very strongly, as we have throughout, the

great danger to the economy, to jobs and working conditions, and

investment if we leave the European Union.

It is not a scare story. Not so, says the Welsh Tory leader

Andrew Artie Davis. At a business in Newport which, like him, wants out.

We know that 100% of businesses have to subscribe to the EU rules and

regulations, yet only about 5% of businesses export to the EU. That

has a huge cost on the bottom line of businesses, and if they were

relieved of that day, they could employ more people and create

quality jobs and communities are desperately need those jobs.

It has been a long campaign, and both sides say the result is too

close to call. And that is the end of the process,

is it? Not quite the end. There is another full day of

campaigning tomorrow, but the end, and a big decision for voters, is in

sight. And with just two days

to go until we decide whether to leave or remain,

as a member of the EU, have we lost the ability

to run our own affairs, or are we happy to share

some of our power Sovereignty - who has the power

to run our affairs - is at the heart of this referendum

debate for some, as our political Time is running out, but with some

voters still undecided, both sides of the campaign are making a

last-minute - for support. In deciding how to vote on Thursday,

some will consider the issue of the economy, the pound in their pockets,

how much money they have for the weekly shop if we vote to leave or

remain in the EU. Many will consider the issue of immigration, and yet

for others, it boils down to sovereignty. Where does power like?

Who should make the decisions that affect our everyday lives?

Government here in the UK, or the European Union?

Take the so-called tampon tax. For years, campaigners have been calling

on the UK Government is clap the VAT charged unsanitary product. But

under EU law, they were unable to do so, unless all 28 member states of

the EU agreed to the change, which they did, back in March. Remain

campaigners say it shows that the UK can influence the EU's future

direction, but Leave supporters say it is just another example of the

EU's rigidity, Brussels meddling in our affairs.

That was part of the deal when we joined back in 1973. We gave up some

powers in order to join the European trading bloc. We pool power in other

ways as well, for example, with Nato. The UK Government plays by the

military alliance's rules, because it thinks unbalance it is a

worthwhile trade-off. The question being asked in this referendum is if

the same can be said about the EU. Is it worth ruling out powers in the

union so that we can, for example, sell Welsh lamb to 27 other

countries without paying export taxes? Or are some of the benefits

of our membership outweighed by not being able to take all of our own

decisions? The Americans don't give up any of

their sovereignty whatsoever to sell their product on the European

market. Why do we have to? The truth is, we don't. This referendum is the

chance for the people to claim that sovereignty back.

As you were bringing up sovereignty, it is something that is absolutely

necessary in the modern world. If we aren't going to tackle the problems,

like international crime pollution, for example, countries have to work

together. It is unlikely such arguments

pierced the public consciousness on a day-to-day basis. But this

referendum is no everyday occurrence. And on Thursday, it is

you that has the ultimate power to decide the country's future

direction. And you can get more information

and follow the link All day, football fans

have frantically been re-arranging their plans,

as many thought they would be But at Euro 2016, Wales are now

preparing for a game in the last 16 They'll face either Albania,

Northern Ireland, Croatia, We'll know for certain tomorrow

evening. It was an early start after a

late-night, and while the party is for Jilly far from over, now it is

time for the fans to serious. The mass exodus of Welsh fans from

Toulouse has already begun. Plenty have come through the station

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

end up in Paris next, where are they all going?

We thought we would come runners-up in the group, so we thought maybe we

would have a nice weekend in Nice, but we have come top, so I think we

are off to Paris on Saturday! English fans expected to win the

group, so they have got hold of all these tickets for Paris, and now, of

course, they finished second and are trying to off-load them. So frankly,

I knew an English guy who is a bit disappointed, and snapped it up.

But wherever they are heading, they are doing so with a huge smile on

their faces. Hats Wales' greatest ever moment.

Taylor, can he finished? And water time to score your first

ever goal for Wales? And believable feeling to get it in

the Euros, as well. In the last game in the group stages, very special. I

did my best to miss it, but scored on the second attempt.

And of course, it would not be a Wales win without the Gareth Bale

goal. It was a night of celebrations, both

on and off the pitch. Joe Ledley provided the moves, while the fans

offered a soundtrack of their own special performance. We are top of

the league! We are top of the league!

Awesome. Can't believe it. Best game ever.

And those here will be joined by more fans from home soon. Several

travel companies are hurriedly chartering flights, finding ferries

and booking coaches to take fans to Paris, and even bring some home on

the same day. The support, wherever it has come from, has not gone

unnoticed. Fantastic. They have been absolutely

unbelievable this campaign. Their support, the way they have behaved,

and it just makes us proud to be Welsh.

As a nation, geographically, we are small. But I think if you judge as

on passion, I think you can describe us as a continent.

Chris Coleman's men now face another step into the unknown in Paris on

Saturday. But the fans, as always, we'll be following closely, not

wanting to miss a moment of the hysteric Euro 26 in journey.

The union representing Tata steel's workers says it has "serious

concerns" about the integrity of the way the business

is being sold off, including the steel works at Port Talbot.

The community union says three months after the announcement

of the sale, steelworkers are "less certain of their future than ever".

Tata says it's committed to an urgent sale process.

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

pilots by shining a torch into their cockpits has said

he wasn't in the area when some of the offences are alleged

John Arthur Jones, from Anglesey, told Mold Crown Court

he was in dispute with the RAF over the noise from low-flying aircraft,

Arriving at court this morning, John Arthur Jones denies shining a torch

into the cockpit of aircraft passing over his land. At times, he said he

wasn't even at home when the offences were alleged to have

happened. The court heard his property is close to Mona airfield,

a reserve airfield for RAF Valley. The prosecution say he developed an

accession with the RAF and low-flying. Trainee pilots reported

being distracted by a light as they flew close to his land. For

undercover police officers were deployed to watch him.

During the prosecution case, the court was told John Arthur Jones was

identified by an undercover officer during a recce of his property. From

the witness box, he told the jury he was in Manchester at the time, and

had the paperwork to prove it. The case continues.

The Economy Secretary Ken Skates says "all alternatives"

Let's see what the weather has in store.

The night, dry spells, but rain thicket and winds pushing up from

the south. Feeling quite muddy overnight. That rain is courtesy of

this front, pushing up from the Bay of Biscay, which should clear

eastwards later tomorrow. Also, another front harvest at the

north-west of the UK. Tomorrow could be great and damp in the morning,

patchy rain in the south and east, brightest further north and west,

and across the UK, where we saw those fronts, that is where we are

most likely to see any rain. The line across the Midlands, Wales,

this up as England and Northern Ireland, for western Scotland, but

for most of the UK, best of the brightness across northern England,

cloudy across the South, warmest here as well, 23 Celsius.

South-westerly winds during humid air. More likely to see mid to high

teams across the North of Scotland, and across Wales, brightest in the

north and west, murkier in the south-east, feeling quite humid.

Temperatures now in the 20s back the lead again in Flintshire, high teams

along Cardigan Bay. Later in the week, we are caught between these

two macro weather fronts. High-pressure trying to build, but

low pressure either side could bring some showers as we continue to drag

in humid air from the South will stop Thursday leading mainly dry

with sunny spells, cloudy at times, maybe the odd shower, light winds,

and temperatures holding up in the high teens, low 20s. Friday and into

the weekend, similar, staying warm with sunny spells, but the chance of

the few showers, especially further west.

That's Wales Today. Thank you for watching.

From all of us on the programme, goodnight.
