:01:27. > :01:29.In the meantime, Carwyn Jones said he would
:01:30. > :01:36.I've written to the Prime Minister saying I expect every single penny,
:01:37. > :01:44.every single penny that we will lose when we cease to be eligible for

:02:18. > :02:21.The leader of Plaid Cymru, Leanne Wood,

:03:10. > :03:11.How did First Minister's Questions go down
:03:12. > :03:18.I watched it with a former Labour adviser, a league campaigner and one
:03:19. > :03:23.My general impression was Carwyn Jones's underlying fury.
:03:24. > :03:25.He is livid and you can tell from his responses.
:03:26. > :03:32.He knows that it's quite unlikely that he's
:03:33. > :03:35.going to be able to deliver the manifesto on which he's been
:03:36. > :03:37.elected because the money that the Welsh
:03:38. > :03:39.Government gets is about to fall off a cliff.
:03:40. > :03:52.But he did get into quite a bad tempered little spat
:03:53. > :03:56.He is probably very frustrated that none

:04:16. > :04:18.the middle not really knowing what to do.
:04:19. > :04:21.We know there are deep divisions on the Brexit across Wales
:04:22. > :04:29.and the chamber of the assembly is no exception.
:04:30. > :04:31.The MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire and Work and Pensions Minister
:04:32. > :04:33.Stephen Crabb could be the next Prime Minister.
:04:34. > :04:35.The former Secretary of State for Wales
:04:36. > :04:37.will be throwing his hat into the ring to lead
:04:38. > :04:40.the Conservative Party. From Pembrokeshire, James Williams.
:04:41. > :04:44.It's all change in Westminster and with a vacancy at the top of

:04:59. > :05:00.she fled Pembrokeshire and took Stephen Crabb and his two brothers
:05:01. > :05:04.They eventually returned to live here, Porterfield
:05:05. > :05:10.And they lived in this council house where
:05:11. > :05:13.Stephen Crabb was raised by a single mother who, for a period,
:05:14. > :05:22.It's the kind of back story that said Stephen Crabb
:05:23. > :05:23.--sets him apart from many of his privately
:05:24. > :05:27.I think Stephen brings something to the
:05:28. > :05:29.table that is incredibly fresh, incredibly relevant and he is the
:05:30. > :05:33.one person I think that could championed the union, and one nation
:05:34. > :05:37.conservatism, and bring this divided country together after what has been
:05:38. > :05:40.a very divisive time of the European referendum and bring our party
:05:41. > :05:44.After attending the local Tasker Milward comprehensive
:05:45. > :05:49.school, he went to Bristol University where he earned a first
:05:50. > :05:52.in politics and met his French wife Beatrice, with whom he has two
:05:53. > :05:58.His Westminster career started in 2005 when he won his home
:05:59. > :06:01.seat of Preseli Pembrokeshire but he would have to wait nine years
:06:02. > :06:03.until asked to join the cabinet as the
:06:04. > :06:10.He wouldn't have to wait as long for a promotion as he
:06:11. > :06:13.took control of the Department for Work and Pensions earlier this year.
:06:14. > :06:16.Some three months later and he has his eyes set
:06:17. > :06:20.on adding his picture to the Conservative wall of fame.
:06:21. > :06:23.The country is in a hell of a predicament at the moment but I
:06:24. > :06:27.think Stephen is the one to bring them out of it.
:06:28. > :06:31.Boris and Theresa May are the firm favourites there
:06:32. > :06:34.but, like I say, David Cameron was in the same position as Stephen
:06:35. > :06:38.But, for others, he lacks match practice at
:06:39. > :06:44.I don't think he's got the experience to do that sort of
:06:45. > :06:48.I think he should be in politics a bit longer before he
:06:49. > :06:54.I'm sure that local people might like to say,
:06:55. > :06:56."We have the Prime Minister," but, at the end of
:06:57. > :06:58.the day, it has to be the
:06:59. > :07:00.right person and I don't feel he has sufficient parliamentary experience.
:07:01. > :07:03.A keen rugby player and supporter, Stephen Crabb isn't afraid to get
:07:04. > :07:08.But with many others also in the frame for the captain's
:07:09. > :07:12.armband, it's going to be a bruising few months.
:07:13. > :07:15.Up to 1000 people attended a pro-European rally in the centre
:07:16. > :07:22.The Welsh capital was one of five Welsh local authority areas
:07:23. > :07:25.which voted to remain in last week's referendum.
:07:26. > :07:28.Plaid Cymru Leader Leanne Wood and frontman of the band
:07:29. > :07:30.Super Furry Animals, Gruff Rhys, were among those
:07:31. > :07:39.A two-year long dispute between National Museum Wales
:07:40. > :07:43.Following a series of strikes, Wales' National Museums will re-open
:07:44. > :07:46.fully over the course of the next week after both sides
:07:47. > :07:53.agreed on bank holiday and weekend working payments.
:07:54. > :07:56.Ukip Assembly member Mark Reckless is to chair
:07:57. > :07:57.the Assembly's Climate Change, Environment and Rural Affairs
:07:58. > :08:04.The news has prompted anger from Labour Assembly
:08:05. > :08:06.Member Lee Waters who described the move as
:08:07. > :08:07.appalling, given that Ukip questions whether climate
:08:08. > :08:15.The leader of the Wales Green Party, Alice Hooker-Stroud, has described
:08:16. > :08:29.Football, and the first question posed to Wales players at today's
:08:30. > :08:31.training session was if they had any regrets
:08:32. > :08:32.after they were filmed celebrating Iceland's victory
:08:33. > :08:37.Chris Gunter said it was not meant to show any
:08:38. > :08:40.disrespect and they were simply glad to see the underdogs win.
:08:41. > :08:51.The goal that means Wales now stand alone as the only home nations team
:08:52. > :08:57.It was a game to rock English football and with just three wins
:08:58. > :09:00.in 11 major tournament matches, has led to the resignation
:09:01. > :09:07.Fans from Iceland on the other hand, a country with a population
:09:08. > :09:14.of just 330,000, are still celebrating the 2-1 victory.
:09:15. > :09:18.The result was also noted at the Wales team hotel in Dinard.
:09:19. > :09:21.This video, widely shared on social media, showed the squad
:09:22. > :09:25.The Wales players were today asked if they had any regrets
:09:26. > :09:31.That was half of the celebrations, because of how well
:09:32. > :09:37.I can understand how it would come across but as a group of players
:09:38. > :09:40.we have supported the underdogs throughout the tournament.
:09:41. > :09:44.It certainly wasn't a video to show any lack of respect.
:09:45. > :09:47.I think it's fantastic for the tournament that
:09:48. > :09:51.another smaller nation have progressed through,
:09:52. > :09:53.another team that were probably written off
:09:54. > :09:58.It certainly wasn't meant as a lack of respect.
:09:59. > :10:01.After the celebrations, the squad back training today.
:10:02. > :10:05.It was unexpected but encouraging for Welsh fans to see
:10:06. > :10:08.Ashley Williams out of his sling and taking part in the morning
:10:09. > :10:11.session, although he did seem to have trouble moving his left
:10:12. > :10:17.The Wales captain put his hands down to break a fall during the victory
:10:18. > :10:19.over Northern Ireland and, with a straight arm,
:10:20. > :10:21.jolted his shoulder, but Chris Coleman has no doubt
:10:22. > :10:28.The line-up for the last eight now clear, with Wales up against Belgium
:10:29. > :10:31.in three days' time, as the only team from the UK
:10:32. > :10:38.But success has thrown up a problem for Chris Gunter, whose
:10:39. > :10:41.brother is getting married in Mexico on the 7th of July.
:10:42. > :10:45.He is in the air now, flying to Mexico, so he will miss the game.
:10:46. > :10:48.My parents were scheduled to fly on Saturday morning so they are
:10:49. > :10:59.The actual wedding is a week Thursday so, if we get through,
:11:00. > :11:01.there won't be many people from our side of the family
:11:02. > :11:04.at the wedding, but there won't be anyone happier than my brother
:11:05. > :11:08.Gunter, mind you, won't be the only one to lose out.
:11:09. > :11:10.We always expected to go as far as we can.
:11:11. > :11:13.It's not as bad as Gunts but I had Beyonce tickets,
:11:14. > :11:16.Yes, they are enjoying the experience and may well be
:11:17. > :11:19.underdogs against Belgium, the second-best team
:11:20. > :11:21.in the world, but these players, when together for Wales,
:11:22. > :11:26.have proved able to create something special.
:11:27. > :11:31.A thunderstorm has struck parts of mid and west Wales this evening.
:11:32. > :11:41.So much for flaming June. We have had isolated thunderstorms tonight
:11:42. > :11:45.but things coming down for a time before we see wet and windy weather
:11:46. > :11:48.tomorrow morning. Looking dry by the time we get into the afternoon.
:11:49. > :11:53.Quiet now but we have some isolated showers across the North coast.
:11:54. > :11:57.Otherwise there is some cloud, mist and fog forming and by dawn we will
:11:58. > :12:02.start to see the next weather front approaching, bringing a little rain
:12:03. > :12:06.to Pembrokeshire. Temperatures getting down to seven Celsius
:12:07. > :12:10.overnight. Low pressure in charge of our weather, feeding in the next
:12:11. > :12:13.weather system is go through tomorrow, bringing more rain with
:12:14. > :12:18.that. First thing tomorrow morning, not very nice for the rush Amber,
:12:19. > :12:22.especially further west. Wet and windy. That rain band will push
:12:23. > :12:27.eastward, heavy pulse as likely as well. There is the potential for
:12:28. > :12:30.localised flooding. There could be minor disruption to travel, do keep
:12:31. > :12:34.listening to BBC Radio Wales to keep up-to-date dread the day. But the
:12:35. > :12:38.rest of the British Isles, Scotland escaping the worst of the rain, the
:12:39. > :12:42.odd shower and sunshine. The rain band pitching eastwards through the
:12:43. > :12:46.day, heavy at times, accompanied by strong south-westerly winds. The
:12:47. > :12:51.timber drizzle range from 14 Celsius to 19 Celsius. Tomorrow afternoon in
:12:52. > :12:54.Wales, and improving story. That rain band will push Cyclades words
:12:55. > :13:00.and it will start to brighten up for parts of the north and west.
:13:01. > :13:04.Temperatures will range up to 70 Celsius. A quiet night and the rain
:13:05. > :13:08.band will clear. Variable amounts of cloud, it is dry and temperatures
:13:09. > :13:12.getting down to nine Celsius. Thursday will start off dry and
:13:13. > :13:15.bright, yet again we have another weather front bringing more rain
:13:16. > :13:18.with it by the time we get into the afternoon. Keep the umbrella to
:13:19. > :13:22.hand. Thank you very much. We are back
