:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to the programme. Tonight's headlines:

:00:00. > :00:07.Brexit campaigners celebrate as Wales votes

:00:08. > :00:11.We'll look what it could mean for our economy, our government

:00:12. > :00:15.and the effect it could have on all our lives.

:00:16. > :00:18.And there's no talk of leaving Euro 2016 in Paris.

:00:19. > :00:36.Wales' footballers are aiming for a place in the quarter finals.

:00:37. > :00:41.Wales, along with the UK as a whole, has voted to leave

:00:42. > :00:46.The result has been welcomed by Leave campaigners describing it

:00:47. > :00:49.But First Minister Carwyn Jones says he fears there'll be

:00:50. > :00:51.consequences for jobs, and can't see anything positive

:00:52. > :00:58.Just over 52% of voters in Wales backed Leave, compared

:00:59. > :01:05.Out of the 22 Welsh council areas a total of 17 voted to leave the EU.

:01:06. > :01:07.Five local authorities voted for Remain -

:01:08. > :01:11.Cardiff, Ceredigion, Monmouthshire, the Vale of Glamorgan and Gwynedd.

:01:12. > :01:16.Turnout was high in Wales at nearly 72%.

:01:17. > :01:21.Our political editor, Nick Servini, reports on how Wales voted.

:01:22. > :01:24.This day is British Independence Day!

:01:25. > :01:28.They don't look like much out in the rain on the streets

:01:29. > :01:33.of Newport, but more than 850,000 people across Wales backed

:01:34. > :01:37.the cause promoted by these Vote Leave campaigners.

:01:38. > :01:40.Even for some diehards, it came as a surprise,

:01:41. > :01:46.but for many here it was a result of years of work.

:01:47. > :01:48.Last night, Wales voted for us to leave the EU.

:01:49. > :01:53.It wasn't just England pulling the rest of Britain out

:01:54. > :01:57.of Europe, out of the EU, it was England and Wales.

:01:58. > :02:00.And as we've seen throughout the campaign,

:02:01. > :02:05.You go home to a nice, little house...

:02:06. > :02:08.There was always a sense of the band of brothers taking

:02:09. > :02:13.on the establishment with the vote Leave campaign, and it generated

:02:14. > :02:16.excitement and enthusiasm that frankly the other side

:02:17. > :02:21.They just could not make their greater size count,

:02:22. > :02:26.and when they did start campaigning, they were too late to the party.

:02:27. > :02:29.The most prominent vote Leave campaigner in Wales was the leader

:02:30. > :02:31.of the Welsh Conservatives, Andrew RT Davies.

:02:32. > :02:34.He says he was proud to play his part.

:02:35. > :02:38.The beliefs and aspirations of what we were seeking to achieve

:02:39. > :02:42.were magnified last night by the vote, the substantial vote,

:02:43. > :02:45.to recast our relationship with Europe.

:02:46. > :02:48.And I believe my team stuck to their convictions,

:02:49. > :02:51.stuck loyally with me, and we have succeeded

:02:52. > :02:54.with a family of activists that were in the Leave campaign.

:02:55. > :02:57.Their jubilation was in stark contrast to a downbeat news

:02:58. > :03:00.conference in Cardiff, in which Carwyn Jones

:03:01. > :03:05.He also refused to take responsibility for the result

:03:06. > :03:08.in Wales, saying he did not choose the timing of the referendum,

:03:09. > :03:12.but he admitted there was a disconnect between Labour

:03:13. > :03:20.Too many people in these communities feel that politics and our economy

:03:21. > :03:23.has left them behind, and we have a real task ahead

:03:24. > :03:30.There was also a call for stability from the leader

:03:31. > :03:35.In the next phase now, the chances are it could be

:03:36. > :03:38.even more difficult, unless we are prepared to pull together

:03:39. > :03:43.as politicians and as civic society in Wales, to make sure

:03:44. > :03:48.that our needs are fully understood by Westminster and delivered upon.

:03:49. > :03:50.The result in Wales mirrored that in England.

:03:51. > :03:53.Cardiff chose to remain, with the biggest majority.

:03:54. > :03:56.Together with affluent areas like the Vale

:03:57. > :03:58.of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, and with the

:03:59. > :04:02.Welsh-speaking heartlands of Ceredigion and Gwynedd.

:04:03. > :04:08.Plaid Cymru, which is strong here, had urged its supporters

:04:09. > :04:13.With its university and large hospital, Bangor's

:04:14. > :04:18.The city's Pontio arts complex was built using EU cash.

:04:19. > :04:24.Its executive director Dewi Hughes says the future is now uncertain.

:04:25. > :04:27.It would be a great shame obviously of those opportunities are not

:04:28. > :04:31.available to these kinds of areas in the future.

:04:32. > :04:34.Again, I hope that in whatever new settlement comes,

:04:35. > :04:38.there will be the opportunities to obtain that kind of funding

:04:39. > :04:42.for economically disadvantaged areas.

:04:43. > :04:44.It was a very different story in Blaenau Gwent,

:04:45. > :04:49.the most Eurosceptic area, voting by 62-48 to leave.

:04:50. > :04:53.It was one of many former industrial communities

:04:54. > :04:56.in the labour heartland in the South Wales Valleys to reject remain

:04:57. > :05:00.despite receiving millions in EU funding.

:05:01. > :05:05.I think people are trying to take control back from the Government.

:05:06. > :05:07.I think to get our country back owned by ourselves

:05:08. > :05:13.I think there are too many immigrants coming

:05:14. > :05:20.For many years, Wales was considered one of

:05:21. > :05:30.Nick, what is your assessment of the result?

:05:31. > :05:37.I would argue that the symbolic significance of Brexit is as

:05:38. > :05:43.important here as anywhere else in the UK. After the demise of heavy

:05:44. > :05:49.industry the EU played a major role. Grants to deprived areas. The single

:05:50. > :05:52.market was central to weaken -- economic policies. What is

:05:53. > :05:57.fascinating is it has been rejected most strongly in the communities

:05:58. > :06:02.that were supposed to have benefited the most. Why is that? The Brexit

:06:03. > :06:07.campaigners will tell you they have been successful in arguing the case

:06:08. > :06:11.that it is important to regain control. I've been on the campaign

:06:12. > :06:18.for weeks and people have told me they have been voting Leave for all

:06:19. > :06:23.sorts of reasons. They wanted to kick David Cameron and the bankers.

:06:24. > :06:27.In the middle of all of this, the subject of immigration has dominated

:06:28. > :06:32.this by the fact that some of these communities, migration is no higher

:06:33. > :06:36.than 3%. That isn't the point. The fear of immigration is there and

:06:37. > :06:41.that is why so many people voted to Leave. What does this mean for the

:06:42. > :06:44.political parties? Labour were going to do the heavy

:06:45. > :06:50.lifting on this. The questions tonight about the role of Welsh

:06:51. > :06:56.Labour. We had an Assembly campaign but why was it they were so late out

:06:57. > :06:59.campaigning? A momentum against the EU had generated by the time they

:07:00. > :07:01.got there. It was impossible to stop when it's got going.

:07:02. > :07:04.The economic case for Wales' future in or out of the European Union

:07:05. > :07:07.was key to the debate from the very beginning of this

:07:08. > :07:09.Several top Welsh business leaders backed Remain,

:07:10. > :07:11.highlighting the importance of the single market

:07:12. > :07:14.But Leave supporters argued businesses would still be able

:07:15. > :07:18.to trade with the EU after a Brexit and that jobs wouldn't be at risk.

:07:19. > :07:20.So what effect will the leave vote have on businesses

:07:21. > :07:23.Here's our business correspondent, Brian Meechan.

:07:24. > :07:27.Wales has a small number of big companies including Airbus, Toyota

:07:28. > :07:31.They largely supported Remain in the European Union.

:07:32. > :07:35.Airbus said it was concerned about future investment in its

:07:36. > :07:38.Deeside plant in the event of Brexit.

:07:39. > :07:43.Back in 2014 we announced a large investment in Wales so that is

:07:44. > :07:47.We're increasing the automation to ramp up production in

:07:48. > :07:53.But future investments, like everyone else, we will have

:07:54. > :07:57.to consider future investments and I can't commit to that.

:07:58. > :08:00.There may not be many big companies in Wales but

:08:01. > :08:05.Around 38% of the private sector workforce.

:08:06. > :08:09.Medium-sized firms employ about 12%, while smaller firms have

:08:10. > :08:15.House-builders including another big Welsh company, Redrow, have seen

:08:16. > :08:19.their share value drop significantly since vote Leave

:08:20. > :08:23.The property sector is taking an immediate hit

:08:24. > :08:26.from the decision as people expect there will be less demand for costly

:08:27. > :08:35.TRJ is a building company in Ammanford that employs 180 people.

:08:36. > :08:38.The construction industry was particularly badly hit by the

:08:39. > :08:42.financial crisis that started in 2007.

:08:43. > :08:48.They hadn't planned for or expected Brexit and

:08:49. > :08:50.they are now concerned about the future.

:08:51. > :08:53.I don't think anybody planned for what happened today.

:08:54. > :09:00.As a country, Wales has benefited, in our view, from being members

:09:01. > :09:03.of the EU by virtue of the funding that has come back.

:09:04. > :09:06.The First Minister is calling for Wales to be given

:09:07. > :09:09.guarantees that it won't lose out financially from Brexit so working

:09:10. > :09:14.Companies don't like uncertainty but successful ones are able

:09:15. > :09:21.Brexit is very different at this medical leech farm in Llanelli.

:09:22. > :09:23.It trades all over the world including with the

:09:24. > :09:26.European Union but its boss says Brussels regulations have been

:09:27. > :09:31.We may have to increase our breeding for example and we will

:09:32. > :09:39.Over the long term, once that initial setup is done,

:09:40. > :09:42.the overheads are going to be greatly increased by this.

:09:43. > :09:45.What happens next for businesses is uncertain.

:09:46. > :09:49.Aston Martin, which plans to start car production in south

:09:50. > :09:51.Wales, has asked the UK Government for assurances.

:09:52. > :09:56.The impact on the potential sale of Tata's operations will also

:09:57. > :10:01.And there's much more information on our website about the decision

:10:02. > :10:06.to leave the European Union and its implications.

:10:07. > :10:10.And a GP who was cleared over the death of a 12-year-old boy has

:10:11. > :10:12.been formally acquitted of attempting to pervert

:10:13. > :10:18.Ryan Morse from Blaenau Gwent died in 2012 from Addison's disease.

:10:19. > :10:22.A judge ruled last month that Dr Joanne Rudling had no case

:10:23. > :10:26.The case was also thrown out against Dr Rudling's

:10:27. > :10:33.Workers at National Museum Wales have accepted a deal to resolve

:10:34. > :10:39.The museum had been attempting to end "premium payments"

:10:40. > :10:43.The PCS Union balloted its members over an improved offer.

:10:44. > :10:46.The Welsh Government is providing the extra money being offered

:10:47. > :10:52.Let's turn to Euro 2016 now where Wales play

:10:53. > :10:54.Northern Ireland tomorrow, with a place in the quarter finals

:10:55. > :11:02.After dismantling Russia on Monday the challenge now is to reproduce

:11:03. > :11:04.that performance against Northern Ireland.

:11:05. > :11:11.Along with at least another 20,000 Welsh fans,

:11:12. > :11:14.the city of light is due to have a touch of red tomorrow,

:11:15. > :11:17.with the green and white army also adding to

:11:18. > :11:22.Following the referendum result, there is more than just football

:11:23. > :11:28.It took me by surprise, I didn't expect that result.

:11:29. > :11:32.Where we have been staying in quite remote areas of France,

:11:33. > :11:35.we had some Danish people, some Dutch people staying with us,

:11:36. > :11:38.and they were all totally bemused this morning,

:11:39. > :11:43.not sure whether it was foolish thing or a brave thing we've done.

:11:44. > :11:45.My mind has been taken off it with the football.

:11:46. > :11:48.I voted to stay in. I'm shocked that we're leaving.

:11:49. > :11:51.We have had a lot of locals asking us about it.

:12:03. > :12:06.Talking about being in or out of Europe.

:12:07. > :12:09.We're still in it and it's all we care about as a team.

:12:10. > :12:13.It's on the news, but it's not our focus.

:12:14. > :12:15.We will talk about that when we get back.

:12:16. > :12:18.For Welsh footballers, it is a first here at Parc des Princes,

:12:19. > :12:21.but some fans will remember the ground as being the

:12:22. > :12:26.former home of French rugby, where in 15 games Wales

:12:27. > :12:31.Tomorrow, it will be a different story.

:12:32. > :12:34.This Wales team is physical, matches the work rate

:12:35. > :12:37.of the opposition and fights, really.

:12:38. > :12:40.We know it will be a tough physical game against Northern Ireland

:12:41. > :12:43.and we will more than match that, as we always do.

:12:44. > :12:46.Chris Coleman's men may be the favourites before
