:01:04. > :01:06.into Downing Street. It's the latest twist

:06:08. > :06:12.to talk about and I'm sure there will be other negotiations,

:06:45. > :06:48.a quarter of the cost. In all, the public purse
:06:49. > :06:52.would guarantee 75% of the total The rest of the risk would be borne
:06:53. > :06:59.by the private sector. The leader of Monmouthshire Council
:07:00. > :07:02.has said tonight that neither they nor Blaenau Gwent council have
:07:03. > :07:05.yet agreed all backed the loans. The economy secretary is due to make

:07:31. > :07:33.that we wanted to support this project, we thought it
:07:34. > :07:35.would have been good. But I'm not entitled to take
:07:36. > :07:39.the risk with our public money, and I don't think the public
:07:40. > :07:44.would expect me to take that risk. Now the Welsh government says it's
:07:45. > :07:46.always been clear that any support provided by the taxpayer needs to be
:07:47. > :07:50.proportionate and fair. It has also stressed that its door
:07:51. > :07:53.remains open if sufficient private The question is whether that's
:07:54. > :07:59.the case. Let's see what the
:08:00. > :08:14.weather has in store. The weather is feeling fresh as they
:08:15. > :08:18.go through the night in over the coming days. We look forward to
:08:19. > :08:23.sunshine tomorrow but first we have showers to do with. The showers are
:08:24. > :08:27.across North Wales and are making their way south and eastwards. We
:08:28. > :08:32.have quite a bit of cloud around. The winds easing overnight.
:08:33. > :08:39.Temperatures in towns and cities 10-14dC. Tomorrow, we have this
:08:40. > :08:42.trough bringing the showers which will clear through. Behind it, high
:08:43. > :08:47.pressure so things will settle down by the time we get into the
:08:48. > :08:53.afternoon. First thing tomorrow morning, a few showers. Some
:08:54. > :08:56.sunshine in between. Pembrokeshire escaping the worst of the showers
:08:57. > :09:00.and they will ease late morning into the afternoon. For the rest of the
:09:01. > :09:04.British Isles, the northern half enjoying the best of the dry and
:09:05. > :09:08.bright weather. Heavier downpours across the South and east with the
:09:09. > :09:12.potential for surface water flooding. In Wales tomorrow
:09:13. > :09:18.afternoon, it's looking pretty good. We can look forward to more in the
:09:19. > :09:25.way of sunshine. Much lighter winds compared with today. Temperatures
:09:26. > :09:29.range 15-19dC. Tomorrow night, misty patches forming. The odd isolated
:09:30. > :09:37.shower but dry weather to look forward to and feeling cooler with
:09:38. > :09:42.temperatures down to seven Celsius. Then on Wednesday, fewer showers and
:09:43. > :09:46.more in the way of sunshine, less humid, temperatures getting up to 18
:09:47. > :09:48.Celsius. A similar picture on Thursday where we see the return of
:09:49. > :09:49.the humid conditions. More on all of tonight's
