Tonight, a new Prime Minister is in place. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The First Minister says he's looking forward to meeting | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
with Theresa May And the Pontypridd MP Owen Smith announces he'll stand | :00:10. | :00:18. | |
If you Google Theresa May in Wales you find out what she has said in | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
the past but I am looking forward to meeting her to see what her view is | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
about the future of the UK, particularly with regards to Brexit. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |

Theresa May is in Downing Street tonight after being appointed | :01:17. | :01:27. | |
Here in Wales the First Minister Carwyn Jones says he's looking | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
forward to meeting her, but admits he knows very little | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
In a momentous day at Westminster, there were also developments | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
in the battle to be the next Labour leader with the Pontypridd MP | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Live to Westminster now and our Parliamentary Correspondent | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
We sometimes overuse the word historic in politics but today feels | :01:49. | :01:59. | |
like an historic day. Theresa May entered Downing Street | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
just over an hour ago as Britain's Before entering Number 10 she said | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
she would lead a one nation government, protecting | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
the United Kingdom, England, Wales, Scotland | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
and Northern Ireland. But what does her | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
appointment mean for Wales? What challenges will she face | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
as she prepares for her first Our political editor | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Nick Servini reports. She's been in the Downing Street | :02:27. | :02:39. | |
many times before but Theresa May did so tonight for the first time as | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Prime Minister. Before she's even had time to unpack her bags, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
questions are being asked about what her priorities are here in Wales. As | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Home Secretary Mrs May visited Wales several times to show the portal | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
David Cameron ahead of last year's general election. Here in Wales and | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
across the United Kingdom we are on the cusp of recovery, of new growth, | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
more jobs, better wages. Nice to meet you. She was a familiar face on | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
the campaign trail, helping her colleagues with support in key seats | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
like Cardiff North. Now as Prime Minister what are the challenges she | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
faces? First of all, the economy with growing uncertainty in the | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
background surrounding the UK's withdrawal from the EU. Confidence | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
is vital. We live in a changed world both politically and economically so | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
the leader of the country she has an absolute duty to promote certainty | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
and confidence amongst businesses. Businesses are slightly nervous but | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
perhaps not as nervous as you may expect them to be at the moment. We | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
are only a few weeks after the vote and there is a long way to go get. | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
Her role will be leading those Brexit negotiations. The UK | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Government needs to give a clear undertaking on very clear picture of | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
quite what funds are going to be provided to Wales once Brexit | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
happens. Alongside that, whether any powers that are repatriated from the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
European Union remain in Westminster rather than being devolved. What | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
about devolution at a time when powers over income tax, energy and | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
devolved elections are in the process of being transferred from | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
Westminster to Cardiff? Wales need a fair financial settlements, which we | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
haven't got. We need a fair settlement in terms of what powers | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
the people of Wales have through their own parliament here. Theresa | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
May is above all a cautious politician and those who know her | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
say that will apply to devolved matters as well. But they also say | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
she will be unlikely to get in the way of plans to devolve further | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
powers here. Remember, the constitution will be on her agenda. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
She will look to try to keep the UK together. At a time when Scotland | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
could try to become independent again the call Brexit. Today's Prime | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Minister's Questions were the last were David Cameron. Outside of the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
Commons, in his time at Number 10, he came to Wales more often than | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
many previous leaders. He has been a regular in the Wales today studio | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
and as is the case with all politicians, he likes to come with | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
good news. The Nato summit that will take place in the autumn of next, 28 | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
members of Nato, including the president of the United States, will | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
be coming here to Wales. Newport welcomes the world's most powerful | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
leaders. He was joined in Cardiff by Nick Clegg, to set out plans for | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
further powers for the assembly. This was mixed with hard political | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
attacks. The most striking was this. We are witnessing a national | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
scandal. The tone in what became a fractious relationship between the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Labour Welsh government and the Conservative lead UK Government | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
about the state of the NHS. He was also Prime Minister at a resurgent | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
time for the Welsh Conservatives as they took scalps in the general | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
election last year, including seats like Gower. There is no time though | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
for Theresa May to find her feet as well. With so many urgent matters to | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
deal with. And it's not only the Conservatives | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
that have been making the headlines today but Labour, | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
too, with Owen Smith entering The Pontypridd MP and former | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Shadow Cabinet member says he can heal the party and turn | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
the page on internal strife. Here's our political | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
reporter James Williams. He's the Labour man from a Labour | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
family with his eyes firmly set But do the people of Pontypridd, | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
his home area, a Labour Have you had enough of Jeremy Corbyn | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
as Labour's leader? I just...he doesn't | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
have the support, does he? I think he's | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
a straight man. And I think he'd go | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
for the Conservatives. Well, you've got to give | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
the man time. He's been in it | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
for nearly 12 months. Owen Smith says he can | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
heal those wounds. Jeremy Corbyn is a good man | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
with good values and he's done a lot of good things to shift the debate | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
of this country but I don't think he realises the danger that is now | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
attached to him sticking in, forced perhaps to stick | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
in by some of his supporters. But, as it stands, he's not budging | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
as Labour leader. Last night, party officials ruled | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Jeremy Corbyn will automatically be If he gets enough support | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
from Labour MPs and MEPs, The 46-years-old he has been | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
a Labour Party member since the age of 16, at which time he attended | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
Barry Boys Comprehensive School in the Vale of Glamorgan, | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
before leaving on to study history and friends | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
at the University of Sussex. A career at the BBC followed, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
where he worked for a decade I think that is the best | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
way to describe Owen. Very bright, lots of enthusiasm, | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
very little self-doubt, but a very high standard | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
of what he expected. After journalism, Owen Smith's first | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
experience of professional politics was forged in the cauldron | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
of the Northern Irish peace process as a government special | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
adviser to Paul Murphy. He was brilliant in the peace | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
process. The help he gave me in hugely | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
difficult times, talking to both sides and knowing both sides, | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
going sometimes into very difficult parts of Belfast, | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
but also being very understanding of the complexities of the peace | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
process in Northern Ireland. Lobbying for the pharmaceuticals | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
company Pfizer was Owen's last job before entering | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the House of Commons in 2010. He retained the Pontypridd seat | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
in last year's election. Owen Smith rose quickly | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
through the party's ranks, becoming Shadow Welsh Secretary | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
and then Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
a job he stepped down from a fortnight ago, | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
citing a seemingly unbridgeable divide between Labour | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
MPs and their leader. But Jeremy Corbyn enjoys | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
a lot of support among Labour grassroots members, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
including here in Pontypridd. Although the chair of the local | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
party branch tells me he expects the majority of the roughly 600 | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Labour members in the area will back Owen Smith, | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
there is a contingent of Corbyn supporters, including the assembly | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
member for Pontypridd, Mick Antoniw. Owen Smith describes himself | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
as a combatant, not a commentator. Today, he's decided to embark | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
on a bloody internal battle that may He thinks he can win but it will be | :10:07. | :10:27. | |
difficult because he is facing not just Jeremy Corbyn, who won by a | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
landslide last you, but also Angela Eagle, another former Shadow Cabinet | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
man who was also challenged Jeremy Corbyn and there are fears among MPs | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
that having two antique Corbyn candidates will split the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
anti-Corbin vote that could mean Jeremy Corbyn gets to keep his job | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
and all the problems that would cause for labour, given the split we | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
have seen over the last few weeks, so both Angela Eagle and Owen Smith | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
will come under pressure from MPs to agree that only one of them should | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
go forward into that at that. There may be hustings here next week and | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
so far neither of them shows any sign of wanting to back down that | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
Labour MPs fear that unless one of them agrees to back the other then | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Jeremy Corbyn will stay on. We will get the official timetable for the | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
contest tomorrow and the result is expected to be announced in late | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
September. And the new Prime Minister is | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
forming a government tonight. We are expecting Theresa May the | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
night to name some of the big jobs in government, Home Secretary, | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
Chancellor, Foreign Secretary. We aren't expecting too much movement | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
in terms of the Wales Office, I think he expects to keep his job but | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the lesson of the last few weeks here is expecting unexpected! | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Let's join our political editor Nick Servini now. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
What's your assessment of the challenges facing | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
In terms of the challenges and what people want I think it is clear. | :11:55. | :12:07. | |
Businesses want stability and confidence, the Welsh government | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
here want more money and possibly more importantly they want to be | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
directly involved in the Brexit negotiations. Also, a sense today of | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
how little people actually know about Theresa May. Carwyn Jones | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
saying earlier that if you Google the reason away -- Theresa May | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
Wales, not much comes up. On a broader range of subject areas they | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
don't know, the Conservatives, where she stands. At a turbulent time she | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
appears to be a solid presence. And what will David | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Cameron's legacy be here? Supporters have his say he | :12:47. | :12:57. | |
understood Wales. There were some I catching announcements, such as the | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
Nato summit. He engaged in the constitutional debate about further | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
powers. Critics will point to stare at two and point to him setting the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
benchmark, if you like, in terms of a poisonous debate about the | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
standard of the health service in Wales and England. The final legacy | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
will be down to the US referendum and the consequences of that, we | :13:19. | :13:19. | |
don't know. -- the E U referendum. The Circuit of Wales won't go ahead | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
until the company behind it makes sure less taxpayers' money | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
is needed guarantee it. That's according to the Welsh | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
Government's Economy Ken Skates told the Senedd Chamber | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
more private investment must underpin the regeneration | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
project in Ebbw Vale. The developers say they're already | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
working with civil servants on that, as our Economics Correspondent Sarah | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Dickins now reports. The latest impression of the | :13:44. | :13:55. | |
developer's dream but five years since the Welsh government first | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
looked at proposals, it's still in question. The insurance giant Aviva | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
is putting in ?281 million but the developers had asked the Welsh | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
government to underwrite a proportion of the project cost and | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
in return the Welsh government would be paid more than ?100 million over | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
30 years. The Cabinet Secretary has said the level of underwriting, | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
nearly 75% of the total project cost, was too much. Despite the | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
efforts of the project backers this leaves around 17% being taken by the | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
private sector. That amount of risk falling on the Welsh taxpayer | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
through Welsh and support is unacceptable. At a time when we are | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
facing significant economic uncertainty from the UK exit from | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
Europe. He said the government would not underwrite more than 50% of the | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
project but he was criticised by other Assembly Members. Isn't it | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
true that his own government's due diligence shows that there is a | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
negligent scenario where the guarantee will be called in because | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
it is a strong project, that is why. It is a strong business case, in | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
which case all of this is academic and he should get on with the job | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
and actually support this proposal in an area of Wales that is crying | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
out for jobs and leadership. Where does that leave the circuit Wales | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
project? We looking for the message that was enthusiasm, excitement, | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
recognition of the investment. He is very cautious and he has given a | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
message about his criteria about what he would like to see in terms | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
of this project. We accept that and we will move towards delivering | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
that. We are working with officials to make sure that happens. As money | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
has become tight, there are many different ways in which the private | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
and public sectors have worked together to enable bid projects to | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
happen, for instance this shopping centre in Newport. They weigh about | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
hearing Newport is the council waste a load of ?90 million at a low | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
interest rate and lent that money to the developers at a higher rate so | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
the council got extra money from the developers, the developers got their | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
project. In the end it all comes down to an agreement about an | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
acceptable level of risk. That is still the question hanging over the | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Circuit of Wales regeneration plan. The assert addicts then it is | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
subjective. How Britney is what it would bring to the area where that | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
risk? It is more about -- it is more than just Moto GP racing. It is | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
still working closely with officials to reach the government's demands. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
Theresa May has become the new Prime Minister | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
and is tonight forming her new government. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
And with the school summer holidays almost here, | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
the free scheme teaching children how to swim safely in the sea, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
A mother from the Vale of Glamorgan says she's "petrified" | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
about her son's future, following a decision by the NHS | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
not to pay for a drug, which she says could help him live | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Gemma Brownhill's son Ben has a very rare, and potentially | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
It comes as the Welsh Government announces a review of the way | :17:13. | :17:22. | |
patients can apply for drugs, that aren't deemed | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Our health correspondent Owain Clarke reports. | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
Little do they realise, but their big brother is finding it | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
ever more difficult to keep up with them. | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
Three years ago when he was just 15, Ben Morgan Brownhill's kidneys | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
began to be destroyed by his own immune system. | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
I definitely think it would be a lot more fun for them to have | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
someone who can run around and play with them. | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
His health deteriorated to such an extent his own mother, Gemma, | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
donated one of her own kidneys, which was transplanted into Ben. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
At first it worked, but just ten weeks later the family were left | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Ben's body had started attacking that kidney, too. | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
There's not even much you can describe it. | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
There's not even much you can describe it. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
Obviously I was aware of it being possible but actually it | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
actually coming back and being told that, it was a big | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
He has peaks and troughs, health-wise. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
The best chance now, according to Ben's mother, | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
is the drug Eculizumab, used by the NHS to treat | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
a similar kidney disease, but just a six-month course | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Because of a lack of evidence of the benefit, | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
funding was turned down, even though Ben's doctors | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
On a case-by-case basis, the NHS can decide to pay | :18:42. | :18:58. | |
for unapproved drugs if experts agree that a patient's case | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
is exceptional but there are concerns that the chances | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
of success could depend on where you live. | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
I want the review to be short and sharply focused. | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
But after coming to a deal with Plaid Cymru, the Health | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
Secretary Vaughan Gething yesterday announced that an expert panel | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
will now look at how the process could be made fairer. | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
There are many kidney diseases, many of them are rare and affect | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
small numbers of people, for whom, obviously, | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
the treatments may be very expensive. | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Some of these things can be life-saving and therefore | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
it is vital that we find ways to get early access to treatment for people | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
affected by these serious, serious diseases. | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
Even if he wanted to live life in the fast lane, David Griffiths, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
who works at this garage in Newport, can't. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
His body is also attacking his own kidneys, meaning he has to fit | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
in work between frequent visits to hospital. | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
When you come off dialysis, it's a funny feeling, | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
it's like you've been riding in a washing machine for four hours. | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
You know, we are here once, we have to enjoy the time we are here, | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
Hopefully medical research will go forward with all the funding | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
and we will be able to get some sort of answers and some sort | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
of cure or something to suppress the disease. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
To be able to move on with my life, get a job, do everything | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
an 18-year-old person should be able to do, really. | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
There's no certainty that the review or any changes that might come | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
in its wake will make a difference in Ben's case. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
But, back in the Vale of Glamorgan, his biggest hope simply is this. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
That one day, somehow, his life can get back to normal. | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
The former Shadow Welsh Secretary, Nia Griffith, has raised concerns | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
that the German steel manufacturer, Thyssen Krupp, could "hoover | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
up" Tata's Port Talbot plant and close it down. | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
The Indian steel conglomorate has stopped the sales process | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
for its Welsh sites as it continues talks with Thyssen | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
The emergency services are still tackling a fire | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
at a tyre recycling facility in Port Talbot this evening. | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
Thick smoke has been seen across the town for most of the day. | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
Up to 100 firefighters tried to bring the blaze under | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Roads are still closed and people are being urged to stay away. | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
National Resources Wales say they've been concerned about this site | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
for some time, because waste was illegally stored | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
There's been a significant increase in the number | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
of online viewers of S4C, according to the channel's | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
Its programmes were requested more than eight million times | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
in the last financial year, up from 5.7 million a year earlier. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
It comes as the number of viewers to the channel | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
The channel said changes in viewing habits would shape the kind | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
It's important for us to note exactly what sort of content | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
is being selected but what sort of content are people going to look | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
for and does that mean that our commissioning policies need | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
to be reviewed in order to make more programmes, | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
more of the sort of content that people are more likely | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
to look for online rather than just view passively. | :21:58. | :22:13. | |
For the first time, children in Wales have been given | :22:14. | :22:15. | |
access to a free scheme, to teach them how to stay | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
safe when swimming in the sea, rivers, or lakes. | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
The Swim Safe programme was launched today in the Menai Strait. | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
Chris Dearden went along to find out more. | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
Heading into open waters and yes, it's cold. | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
These children are learning what to do if things | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
That includes positions like the huddle and the crocodile, | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
where they line up and paddle to safety as a group. | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
We've been doing stuff in the sea with, like, huddles, | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
Learning about the sea and learning about lifeguards, | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
what they do and we've been doing a load of other stuff, | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
The organisers hope techniques like the crocodile will get a child | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
to safety when the instructors are not on hand to help. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
What we're trying to encourage people to do is, yes, | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
they can swim in a swimming pool, but the swimming pool is completely | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
different to open water, whether that's the sea, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
You've got hidden dangers underneath, you've got | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
It's all very familiar to one mother. | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Debbie Turnbull lost her son Chris ten years ago while he was swimming | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
He went along this particular weekend with five friends, obviously | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Very sadly, Chris sat on the edge of the waterfall, thumbs up | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
to his pals and the next thing we knew he was under water | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
And she's not the only one supporting today's lessons. | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
The Lifeboat Service says they're essential for children | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
Sessions like this will be going on throughout the week until Sunday. | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
Officials hope it will avoid an incident or an emergency call-out | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
Time for the weather forecast and Derek's here. | :23:55. | :24:08. | |
Showers in places again today but some fine weather | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
A lovely afternoon in Flint for a walk along the coast. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
There's more dry weather and sunshine to come tomorrow. | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
Tomorrow the best day of the week but it's all change again on Friday. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
This evening scattered showers in the north and west. | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
Heavy in places will spread southeast overnight. | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
Breaks in the cloud and another fairly cool night. | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
Temperatures inland falling as low as 9 Celsius. | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
Tomorrow's chart shows a ridge of high pressure over the UK | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
but these fronts over the Atlantic are heading our way. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
So here's the picture for eight in the morning. | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
A few clouds and some lovely sunshine. | :24:48. | :24:57. | |
Feeling quite pleasant with a light to moderate breeze. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
A few clouds but some blue sky and sunshine as well, | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
Top temperatures between 16 to 20 Celsius with a light | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
Fine tomorrow evening and dry overnight. | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Some high cloud with temperatures in mid Wales falling | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
But clouding over with a little rain and drizzle. | :25:23. | :25:32. | |
The breeze picking-up as well and turning muggy. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Now the weekend doesn't look quite so promising as it did | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
On Saturday a cold front will move South East but the rain, | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Followed by dry, brighter weather and some sunshine. | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
Dry with a mix of clouds and some sunshine. | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
Temperatures around the seasonal average. | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
So the changeable weather is set to continue. | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
A reminder of our main story tonight. | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
Theresa May has become Britain's new Prime Minister. | :26:12. | :26:13. | |
In a speech outside Downing Street, she said her mission was to make | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
Philip Hammond has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. George | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
Osborne has resigned from government. The government I lead | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
will be driven not by the interest of the privileged view but by yours | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
will stop we will do everything we can to give you more control over | :26:38. | :26:38. | |
your lives. Let's return to our westminster | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
correspondent David Cornock David you've seen many | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
Prime Ministers come and go and Theresa May is facing | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
a number of challenges. Yes, very much so. The end of George | :26:46. | :26:59. | |
Osborne's career in government is the end of an Iraq for the Cameron | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
government. He is replaced by Philip Hammond, someone who has said it | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
could take up to six years to negotiate Britain's departure from | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
Europe -- it is the end of an era for the Cameron government. Theresa | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
May is trying to strike a different tone from David Cameron who will now | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
be a backbencher. So humble is his new role that he has had to evict | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
for Conservative MPs from their office at Westminster to take over | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
in his new job as a backbencher. I'm back with our next update | :27:35. | :27:36. | |
after an extended Ten O'clock News From all of us on the | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
programme, good evening. | :27:44. | :27:46. |
