On BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

Shipped The Remain And Leave Says Make One Last Push For Your Boat.

This Issue Is About Uk Competitiveness, Access To The

Single Market. You should not be frightened to leave but excited by

the opportunities it provides. Leading politicians from both sides

take each other on in BBC will's referendum debate.

David Craig Ellis is found guilty of murdering his landlord.

Alec Warburton was bludgeoned to death - his body

As a newspaper company plans to get rid

of an Assembly-based reporter for the Daily Post,

a warning readers will be "uninformed" about Welsh politics.

And Manager Chris Coleman says he doesn't

have a preference who Wales face next - it'll be Turkey

or Northern Ireland in Euro 2016 knock out stages.

It's been a frenetic day of campaigning and last minute

canvassing across Wales, with politicians making their final

pitches about why we should leave or remain in the European Union,

The key battleground today - whether Welsh businesses would

This evening, attention is shifting to the centre of Cardiff,

where big names from both sides are fighting it out

Our political editor, Nick Servini, is there for us.

You see, that debate has been pre-recorded and is due to be aired

at eight o'clock after Wales Today. What is interesting is there are so

many complex issues in this referendum campaign and many

debates, but this is the last one, and intriguingly, because there are

so many people who are undecided, I think it is fair to assume that many

people will be watching tonight who have yet to make up their mind. So

what is art is not said tonight could really make a difference, and

it comes after a frenetic day of the final campaigning.

It's been a frantic final day of campaigning as the EU referendum

At ten this morning, it began in Monmouth with

This was one of the many canvassing teams, making use of the

last few hours to try to convince voters.

This man didn't need much, as he agreed there and then to don

And some of his feelings were expressed by others.

Have you decided how you're going to vote in the referendum?

I think we've gone downhill drastically, this country, so we

need a boost, and I think we can do it on our own.

Well, we need to concentrate on our own country.

The national health and police force, everything.

We're just going to pot if we stay in.

Nobody can tell me what they are going to do about the

People have had to ask themselves difficult questions about

They've had brutally honest conversations about their attitude

to immigration, and probably what's been most difficult of all is an

awareness that this decision is being made

Next stop for Vote Leave, 11:15 at a farm near Ruthin, where

the Conservative Cabinet member Chris Grayling

He had no problems persuading this farmer of the merits

of the Brexit for small rather than big business.

It's clearly the case that big international businesses

and the big international banks want us to stay in the European Union.

They benefit from being able to recruit cheap labour from

But the smaller businesses that are the engine of our economy

Up and down this country they've been telling me

they want to leave, that the European Union holds them back.

Five minutes later, and the Welsh Secretary and Remain

campaigner Alun Cairns goes under the bonnet of the

latest Toyota at its plant on Deeside.

Is this to do with the hybrid element?

His aim was to promote the value of the single market.

This issue is the biggest decision we're going to take

This issue is about the UK competitiveness.

This is about access to the single European market.

He then had to rush back to Cardiff for 6:30 to

take part in the final televised debate.

A final day in a final push for votes.

Nick, the debate will be on right after Wills Today. How is it going

there? It has been a very lively debate as you would expect.

Certainly when it came to the economy, how kicked things off, then

we moved onto migration and it became passionate and at times

bad-tempered. Someone in the audience asked people to tone things

down. On the economy, Carolyn Jones said Brexit would make it harder to

save the steel industry. TC Davies on the Leave side said that if South

Korea could set up its own trade deal with the EU, then so could the

UK in the event of a Brexit. But on the subject of immigration, Carwyn

Jones tried to address the concerns that people had. He said migrant

workers from the EU were not a drain on the state, but then made and Gill

defended the poster that said breaking point that was published by

Nigel Farage last week controversially. The accusation was

that it inflamed all the rhetoric on immigration. That drew a response

from the ad would that it was recent. TC Davies said he was fed up

with many of the accusations that had been thrown at Leave happiness.

-- a response from Leanne Wood that it was racist. I am fed up of being

called a racist. It is clearly not the case that anyone can walk into

this country. That is wider always people in Calais. If they could just

walk into the country, they would be your by now. -- that is why there

are all these people in Calais. That prompted this response from Carwyn

Jones. The debate is now wrapped up, and it really comes down to a lot of

key issues, particularly on immigration and the economy. Both

sides have an opportunity to set out as style.

We will be back with you later on. And you can watch BBC Wales' EU

Referendum Debate here Celtic Energy has announced

a proposal to mothball the largest of its three pits -

Nant Helen opencast mine The company says it will

consult on the plans, which it says are in response

to decreasing demand Police have found a body

on the outskirts of Bangor. It's believed to be that of missing

man Michael Bryn Jones. Mr Jones, from Llandudno, hasn't

been seen since April the 3rd. In the weeks afterwards,

his family organised a search The body was found in

the Caerhun area of the city. At this stage, Mr Jones' death

is not thought to be suspicious. Events have been taking place around

the world to mark what would have been the 42nd birthday of the Labour

MP Jo Cox, who was shot In Cardiff, people gathered

at the Temple of Peace. MP Stephen Doughty,

who organised the event, says he wanted to bring

people together in her name. I think that you can

live life differently, Working together, speaking

for the people who are And also, that it's not just

about thinking and talking, it's about doing, and it's

about taking action, and that was It wasn't just her career as an MP -

she exemplified that before, and I hope that people go away

from today feeling that they can make a difference in

their communities here A man has been found guilty

of attacking his landlord with a hammer in Swansea last summer

and dumping his body 41-year-old David Ellis always

admitted killing retired telecoms engineer Alec Warburton,

but claimed he'd temporarily However, the jury at Swansea Crown

court accepted the prosecution's case that this was in fact

a brutal, planned murder. It was here at his three-storey town

house in the Sketty area of Swansea that 59-year-old Alec Warburton

was killed, bludgeoned to death by several hammer

blows to his skull. The retired telecoms engineer rented

out several rooms of his home, and it was one of his tenants

that killed him. David Ellis never denied

the killing, but always maintained David Ellis's defence

was that he'd lost control, killing his landlord after he'd made

sexual advances towards him. He claimed he'd been sexually abused

as a child, and the same feelings emerged when Mr Warburton

pressurised him for sex But the jury here at

Swansea Crown Court did not believe him, instead agreeing

with the prosecution that this was in fact a brutal murder

carried out by a cunning, Alec Warburton was subjected

to a planned, violent and senseless His death shocked the

community of Sketty. Our thoughts, as ever,

are with the family and friends of Mr Warburton, and I hope today

they can gain some comfort from the fact David Ellis has been

convicted of his murder. The court heard that two days before

the murder last July, David Ellis wrote and printed out

a note at Swansea Central library, purporting to be from Warburton,

saying he was going away for a while, and asking his other

tenants at the house to pay The prosecution described this

action as a blueprint for murder. After the hammer attack

at on the Vivian Road house, Ellis cleaned the bloodstained walls

and removed the body The green Peugeot was picked up

on CCTV on the way to Betws-y-Coed, an area Ellis knew well,

having grown up there. The trial heard how he threw

Mr Warburton's body He then briefly returned to Swansea,

before fleeing to Ireland, It took the jury of nine women

and three men two days The judge, Mr Justice Robin Knowles,

will pass his sentence The Wales squad wait to find out

tonight who they'll be playing We'll guide you through the maze

of arguments to remain in or leave the EU, with less

than 12 hours before The National Union of Journalists

have called on the National Assembly to scrutinise what they're calling

"ludicrous" behaviour by The company recently announced it

intends to close the role of Senedd reporter for the Daily Post,

though it says it's "committed" The NUJ say without a reporter

in Cardiff Bay, readers may Our arts and media correspondent,

Huw Thomas has the story A traditional technique that's

produced newspapers for 400 years. While the product still sells,

demand for news online has forced titles like the Daily Post to change

the way it runs the business. It means the paper is ending

its tradition of having a reporter at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay,

speaking to politicians and writing stories relevant

to its North Wales readership. Instead, a new politics

and transport reporter will work from the Daily Post office

in Llandudno Junction. It's a change too far

for some journalists, who warn that readers in North Wales

will lose out. We think that that is rather

a ludicrous proposal. It is impossible to cover

the National Assembly for Wales from Llandudno Junction,

and it shows a complete lack Trinity Mirror said the Daily Post

was committed to covering Welsh politics, but confirmed

a politics and transport reporter in North Wales

will replace The company said it was part

of a restructuring that will strengthen the newsroom

and better serve its audience. Part of that involves driving more

of its audience to its websites, but it's become a delicate balance

of publishing traditional news and stories that'll

catch the attention The NUJ has already resisted a plan

by Trinity Mirror to set targets for its journalists for the number

of clicks they get under articles, and it's criticised what it sees

as an emphasis on reporting the opening of pubs and burger bars

over harder news stories. Trinity Mirror insists it's not

softening its stance, and is simply offering readers

more of what they want But there is no escaping the cup

hacks that have affected most But there is no escaping the cut

backs that have affected most This is the media briefing room,

where the politicians Press conferences like this

happen all the time, but the number of reporters coming

to cover them has been falling. The journalists themselves have now

asked Assembly Members to hold We should be in a position

where were seeing journalism The opposite is happening,

and that is something that should be It's very important that Government

is scrutinised carefully in the decisions that they take,

that we as Assembly Members, all of us as elected

Assembly Members are scrutinised. In the 70s and 80s,

there were regular strikes A ballot of Daily Post reporters

is currently underway to decide if they'll walk out over

the latest changes. John Arthur Jones from Anglesey,

seen here in the light coloured jacket, has told Mold Crown Court

he was already in police custody when he was alleged to have shone

a bright light at RAF jets Mr Jones, from Bodffordd, denies 13

charges of endangering aircraft. A policeman could be fined

after being investigated by his own force for allegedly

taking a selfie while driving. The investigation began

after a picture of PC Joe Hawken from North Wales Police

appeared on Facebook. To Euro 2016 - and Wales will find

out later this evening who they'll play in their last 16 match

in Paris on Saturday. Iwan Griffiths is with the squad

in Dinard. Having spoken to the manager

and players today, I can tell you that the Wales

squad say they don't mind It all depends on the two

final group games - they kick off at eight

o'clock this evening. But it does look likely that

Chris Coleman's men will face Turkey in the next round,

although Northern Ireland Or mathematically even Albania.

Those are the possibilities. The heroes of Toulouse were missing

from today's training. Those who started in that they must win

against Russia on Monday were in a recovery session. But every player

is fit. The manager now preparing his squad for the gift game in the

history of the national team. Realising how good we are and then

being able to accept that responsibility and take it onto the

pitch. We did against Russia, and we need to reproduce that. Following

last night's other results, wheels have found themselves on the

favourable side of the draw and won't face the giants of European

Dibble, the likes of Spain, France, Germany and Italy before the final.

But forget about the latter stages of this club edition. Chris

Coleman's name are so weak of the mat 16 game in Paris, whoever the

opposition may be. -- Chris Coleman's men are solely

concentrating on the last 16 game. A last 16 game against a more familiar

opposition is also possible. Wales have won 44 and drawn 24 of the last

games against Northern Ireland. There are dangers and challenges in

any fixture we get. Playing in only their second major fit bowling

tournament, Wales have never faced a penalty shoot out. Now in the

knockout stages that scenario is a possibility, and players have been

regularly taking spot kicks after training. So widely ready? Yes, I

suppose. On an off day in a body can score a penalty and anybody can

this. Wales are gearing to dream, as are the fans, with all roads leading

to Paris. -- Dearing to dream. Onto rugby, and forwards coach

Robin McBryde and assistant coach Rob Howley have agreed new deals

to remain part of the Wales team, The side for the final test

against New Zealand will be named shortly, and Robin McBryde says

they'll continue to play adventurous rugby, despite losing

the first two tests. In the last game, we were willing

to try different things. Not everything came off,

but we can't be scared of that. You're playing against the best team

in the world, and if you just revert to type and just play a safe game,

you're not going to beat them. And Flint's Jade Jones has been

named in Great Britain's taekwondo Jones won Gold in London in 2012,

and will be looking Back here in Dinard,

we'll know by ten o'clock tonight which team Wales will face

in the last 16 of Euro2016. It could be Turkey, neither Ireland,

possibly even Albania. In very different scenarios. -- Northern

Ireland. Back to tonight's main news now -

the frenetic final day of campaigning by the Leave

and Remain camps ahead You can start voting from seven

o'clock in the morning, and polling stations

are open until ten at night. Voters will be handed

a ballot paper asking them whether they want to remain

or leave the European Union. Some people will have voted already

using a postal vote. Now, if you've got one of those,

but have forgotten to post it, you can still hand it in at your

local polling station tomorrow. The votes will start being counted

at ten o'clock tomorrow evening - and we'll hear how each local

authority in Wales has voted through the early hours

of Friday morning. The Wales-wide result will be

declared from Flintshire. And we're expecting the final UK

result sometime before nine on Friday morning,

declared in Manchester. If you're one of the many

people still unsure about which way to vote,

here's our political reporter, James Williams, to guide

you through what both sides navigating this campaign has been

anything but simple. Conflicting claims have

left some feeling lost. In other cases, we've hit a dead

end, because after all, nobody can be 100% certain of

what the future holds. But with just hours left

until the polls opened, we can be certain that both sides

will concentrate on some During this campaign,

it hasn't been hard to find people concerned with immigration,

even here in Wales, where we have the lowest proportion of migrants

of all the UK nations. But Leave campaigners say

the European Union's open borders policy means we can't

control immigration, while Remain supporters point out that EU

migrants, in particular, contribute But what about the pound

in our pocket and the wider economy? Will we be better or worse off

inside or outside the EU? On the Remain side, they say that

Brexit would lead to an economic shock, that

growth will be slower, Quite simply, they say that it's

a leap into the unknown. But Leave campaigners say that

Brexit would free Welsh companies from EU red tape, that we would

still do business with EU countries, but that it would be a lot easier

to trade with the rest of the world. With parts of the Welsh economy

in the EU slow lane, we've received billions of pounds from Brussels

in order to help us catch up. Our farming industry

and universities But it's our money

in the first place, It's just our contribution

to the EU pot If we left, we'll just

run our own schemes. There is no guarantee of that,

say Wales Who also point out that according to

the academics, Wales receives more money from the EU than we picked on.

And then for others, it is a question of who should have the

power to plot the country's future course. UK politicians exclusively,

or should Brussels also play a part? After months of puzzling over the

issues, the end is almost in sight, but which way will you turn?

Let's go back to our political editor Nick Servini

at the Cardiff and Vale College, where tonight's BBC Wales EU

Nick, we can't underplay tomorrow's vote - it has potentially huge

consequences for the UK and Wales, doesn't it?

That's right, and I think there is a sort of generational element to

this. I have lost count of the number of times people have come up

to me, it happened in Monmouth this morning, and say, I am making this

decision because of the impact my children or around children. I heard

it's both on the Leave and Remain site saying they are doing this for

their kids. People have a sense of responsibility and even a burden

because of this. It has been a fascinating campaign to observe, but

brutal at times, highly complex, and because of some of the subject areas

that have been discussed, it has been emotive as well. And you

through into that sense of responsibility that people feel as

Isolde, I'm not sure if many people have enjoyed the experience. -- as a

result. In terms of the two campaigns, if we bought to remain in

the UK, the remain camped will have succeeded to allay the fears people

have about immigration. If the Leave campaign succeed, they have

succeeded in dealing with the concerns that are out there of the

economic impact potentially of a withdrawal. The stakes are very

high, and of course, it could be very tight. Thank you very much.

So what does the weather have in store for the rest of the week?

Mixed fortunes across Wales today. The reader shows where it has been

cloudy, but much brighter across much of north and west Wales.

Looking more promising everywhere tomorrow, generally drier and

brighter for most, but quite humid. Tonight is patchy rain in the east

peters out, missed and market clearing, turning drier from the

west. Overnight lows between nine and 14 Celsius. Tomorrow missed and

low cloud will clear, and then looking mainly dry and fine, plenty

of sunny spells. Some fair weather cloud, small chance of a shower,

remaining dry and bright remorse. Light westerly winds, and humid. We

are between these two whether France tomorrow, so reasonably settled, but

low pressure in the Atlantic will edge closer, bringing a greater

shower risk later on Friday. Tomorrow night starts fine and dry

with some thick clouds ahead of that from developing further west

overnight followed by a few showers. Another mild night. And then on

Friday, ID of sunny spells, variable cloud, but also if you showers. Some

sharp ones, especially further north, westerly winds, Bristol on

the course. Staying relatively warm at 16 to 19 Celsius. -- brisk on the

coast. The weather front mid east word bringing thicker cloud and

showers. A chance of showers early on Saturday, and generally

lightening up and turning drier later in the day. Cloudy at times.

Winds turning more north-westerly. Not as warm. I find it tomorrow, and

sunny spells over the next few days, but that you showers as well,

especially north and west. -- a fine day tomorrow. Finally today's

picture. Some breaks in the code taken by one of our Weather

Watchers. Remember, BBC Wales EU

Referendum Debate is next I'll be back with an update

for you at half past ten. From all of us on the programme,

goodbye.
