I'll be back here on BBC1 with the News at Ten.

The Labour MP, Owen Smith, has formally launched his

leadership campaign, pledging "a new deal" for Britain.

Speaking to supporters at Coleg y Cymmoedd in Nantgarw,

the MP for Pontypridd said that while he supports Jeremy Corbyn's

anti-austerity agenda, he doesn't believe Mr Corbyn

could ever be elected as Prime minister.

Our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones reports.

I am so proud to be stood here before you today.

Owen Smith launched his campaign at his Pontypridd constituency

he drew on his valleys background background,

pleased his parents, wife and children were with him.

And proud of an area which has shaped his Labour politics.

He spoke of his grandparents Jack and Aggie, people who were not party

members but benefited from past Labour governments who created great

I think many of us feel in the movement that we have

lost our way from those old times and those great ambitions and those

And I think Jack and Aggie would have looked at the party right

now and would have been horrified that we are not on the pitch,

we're not fighting for our people in the way in which we ought to.

The town of Pontypridd is named after the bridge that

sits over the River Taff and according to his supporters,

Mr Smith could also reconnect the party and the electorate.

What Owen possesses that Jeremy doesn't is the leadership skills

and I think you need that to unify the party,

If we have Owen as our leader, we will have somebody

who is credible in government but also someone who will take

the party in the direction clearly many people, especially the people

But in Pontypridd there are also plenty of people

He has done a lot of good things in the last year, in a short period

of time and with real opposition from his own party members.

You have Owen Smith coming out with anti-austerity

and so is Angela Eagle, they're copying him

Mr Smith said he wanted tackling inequality to be at the heart

of his campaign as he tries to become the first Welshman in over

Search efforts are to resume for a man from Swansea

who was one of four men killed when the Didcot Power Station

It comes after the remaining section of the decommissioned

plant in Oxfordshire was demolished this morning.

The search for three men, including 34-year-old

Christopher Huxtable, had been postponed because

the building was too unstable to be approached.

Significant improvements have been made at North Wales's health board

following an outbreak of C-difficile three years ago.

There were 96 cases at Glan Clwyd Hospital -

In his latest report, Professor Brian Duerden says

despite the improvements, staffing issues have created

'a potentially unsafe clinical service.' The Health Board

will consider the report on Thursday.

The President of the Royal Welsh Show has said this year's event

is taking place at a time of unprecedented uncertainty

Richard Jones told BBC Wales that there was "no plan" for life

outside the EU and Welsh Government ministers need to prioritise

listening to the views of farmers and people

Our environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger reports.

The stage is set for another celebration. The best of rural

Wales. Nearly a quarter of a million people

visited the Royal A testament to the growing success

of this annual event. A sign too of its significance

to rural communities up and down This showground has always been

a platform for discussion and debate on the biggest issues facing those

who live and work This year that may be

truer than ever before - according to the man

elected President of With Britain's withdrawal

from the EU top of the agenda. We do not know where it is going to

lead us. Hopefully for the better. It depends entirely on the

government and how they listen to the farmers and it is time they

listen to the farmers. It is well and good coming to the showground

and saying I see your point, they go back to Cardiff and forget about it

completely. It will be up to the recently appointed Welsh secretary

for rural affairs to design a new agricultural policy for Wales.

Lesley Griffiths dismisses talk of a new UK farming bill. Officials tell

me there are 5000 pieces of legislation which apply across the

portfolio so a huge amount of work to be done but I wanted to be about

not only the challenges and uncertainty, I wanted to be about

opportunities as well was up farming is wholly devolved so it is up to us

to decide what is the best going forward.

Talks will take place here tomorrow about how agriculture in Wales

should work in future - the future of subsidy payments,

access to markets and environmental protections at the heart

Lesley Griffiths will attend an event leading figures from the rural

sector on Monday. The debate on the future shape of farming here will

last far longer than this four-day event.

Let's take a quick look at the weather, and it'll be cloudy

and muggy but dry overnight, with sea and hill fog

As for tomorrow, the cloud and mist will soon break up

and will be mostly dry, humid and very warm.

Plenty of sunshine in the afternoon, with a top

That's Wales Today - I'll be back at 10:20pm.

For now though, enjoy your evening, goodbye.

then, have a lovely evening. Goodbye.

Hello. Hotter weather is on the way. If some areas do not get to 30

tomorrow, they will on Tuesday but if you have had a sunny Sunday, this

is a view from Lincolnshire, from one of our weather watchers. Not

everyone has had the blue sky for that there may be a heavy shower

somewhere in southern England. Misty, murky, Wales and south-west

England. A warm night as well for that there will be missed and fog

patches to start the day tomorrow. Things for many will improve. There

could be a bit of sea fog turning things misty and reducing visibility

at times. For many it will be a glorious Monday afternoon. Near 30

in the Channel Islands. 26 for Cardiff, Hull. Just an indication

North Wells, northern England, Northern Ireland, southern Scotland

may catch an isolated heavy shower and perhaps a thunderstorm. Most

won't. 20 in Glasgow, which will feel very different. Still reign in

northern Scotland. That gets the message and clears the way

northwards on Monday night and into Tuesday but on Tuesday we import

hotter air from the
