weekend, someone's and humidity. -- 22-25. And | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after completing an 8 mile fitness test in Brecon. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |

And we hear from young farmers on the challenges | :01:13. | :01:15. | |

Police and the Ministry of Defence are investigating, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
after a soldier died following a training march in Brecon. | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
26 year old Corporal Joshua Hoole had just completed the 8 mile route | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
His death comes three years after three soldiers died during | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
an SAS selection exercise in the Brecon Beacons, | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
Our reporter, Caroline Evans is in Brecon for us | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Thank you, as the news emerged mind inevitably turned to the tragedy | :01:51. | :02:01. | |
when the three soldiers died in the heat when out on exercise but the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Ministry of Defence say the circumstances here are very | :02:07. | :02:18. | |
different. 26, and planning to get married next year, corporal Joshua | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
Hoole came here for a promotion, the position of platoon Sergeant. This | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
is a key training facility and he was on the second day of his course. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
He had been out training collapsed when he got back. Ambulances were | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
called just before nine a.m.. My heart and all of those in the Army | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
go out to the family of the soldier who died yesterday. We don't yet | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
know the circumstances. Or indeed the reasons why he did. What I can | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
confirm it was not an special forces selection, this was training for a | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
career course to become a Sergeant. Soldiers train around Brecon Beacons | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
all year, these shots were taken on Monday. But with yesterday being the | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
hottest day of the year so far questions have been asked about | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
whether the Army has learned from the deaths of three soldiers in 2013 | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
whilst doing the SAS selection course. If they had not learned of | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
them quite honestly that is totally and utterly unforgivable. I have | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
spoken to the clerics of the Defence Select Committee today. -- the | :03:32. | :03:45. | |
clerks. We want to make sure that there is no hiding behind, oh, we | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
cannot complete enquiries, we still investigating. It was an annual | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
fitness test when soldiers have to carry 25 kilos around the local | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
roads. They are expected to complete it in under two hours but the | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
Ministry of Defence say that also do it in the infantry do this and it is | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
not meant to be taxing. A spokesman said the officer in charge would | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
have checked the conditions and the temperature. It was 17 Celsius when | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
they started, 21 or 22 when they got back. The Army is important to | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
Brecon and the news has been received with real sadness. The Army | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
have been taken to the hearts of the people here and the economy. So it | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
is vitally important that they carry on. In Scotland the family of | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
Corporal Joshua Hoole say they want answers. Defence Minister Harriet | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
Baldwin has promised the Ministry of Defence will undertake a full | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
investigation. In a statement the MoD has said that it has looked at | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
how training is done following previous deaths including the three | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
soldiers who died on that SAS selection training in 2013. They say | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
that where practicable every recommendation and report has been | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
implemented to ensure that training is as safe as possible. Tonight, the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
widow of one of the three men has sent her condolences to the family | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
in Scotland and said that she hopes all enquiries will be carried out | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
promptly and with total transparency. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
An investigation's been launched and a member of staff suspended | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
after a child was left alone on a minibus outside | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
The charity that runs the nursery, Mudiad Meithrin, said the child | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
was left on the bus outside Camau Bach in Aberystwyth for more | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
The incident has been referred to the Care and Social Services. | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
This is a flagship nursery for a charity but yesterday, the hottest | :05:52. | :06:04. | |
day of the year, saw one of their staff leave a child alone on a | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
minibus. The member of staff responsible was immediately | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
suspended from work. It is believed that the young boy was meant to | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
spend half a day at a local Welsh speaking primary school and the | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
other half at the nursery. It was the journey between both were things | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
went wrong. I have spoken to parents of children at business we who do | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
not want to appear on camera but told me that it was only noticed the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
young boy was still inside the minibus when the parents arrived at | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
Kinloch, it -- when the parents arrived, he was said to be very | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
distressed. Imagine it was my own children, you leave children with | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
people you trust, and they are left on a boss like that, it is terrible. | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Surely there should have been a headcount, if it happened to one of | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
my children I would be appalled. To leave the kid in a carer's | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
responsibility and for them to leave him on a bus during a heatwave, I | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
find it disgusting. Debbie is from the NSPCC and warns of the dangers | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
of leaving children at any age unattended in hot weather. When left | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
alone in a vehicle children and young people can quickly become | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
anxious and distressed. Especially in high temperatures that we have | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
had in the last couple of days. There are some really clear dangers | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
of doing that. We would always advise parents and carers never to | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
leave children and toddlers. The incident has been referred to the | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
care and social services Inspectorate and the council | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
safeguarding board. The nursery will be close for one week to allow the | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
investigation to take place. A young mother from Gwynedd, | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
whose death is being investigated by police, has been described | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
by her family as "the best mother" was discovered in the garden | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
of her home in Penygroes A man has been arrested on suspicion | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
of murder and a woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
and assisting an offender. Labour leadership candidate | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Owen Smith says his rival Jeremy Corbyn has not done enough | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
to deal with online abuse given death threats, | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
and women MPs have suffered Mr Corbyn says he's consistently | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
condemned all abuse and called for 'a kindler, | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
gentler politics'. Nominations | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
for the leadership have now closed - meaning the contest | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
is a two horse race. Here's our political | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
reporter Paul Martin. In position behind his leader. But | :08:45. | :08:58. | |
Owen Smith wants to swap places with Jeremy Corbyn come September. And as | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
the leadership contest formally gets under way he has accused Jeremy | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Corbyn of failing to deal with online abuse of Labour MPs. As well | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
as anti-Semitism and misogyny MPs have reported regularly being called | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
liars, traitors, and Furman. I was subject to death threat yesterday | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
and social media. Some of the women in the Labour Party, some of our | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
great, brave labour women have been subject to appalling abuse, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
absolutely disgraceful and outrageous abuse online, and it is | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
utterly unacceptable. Jeremy should have stamped on the sale or harder. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
Some people think he has even encouraged it. I don't know that but | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
I do know it has to be stamped out. A spokesperson for Mr Corbyn says he | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
has consistently condemned abuse. This was his response when speaking | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
ten days ago. Nobody does a vile abuse in my name with my approval | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
and support. I absolutely and totally condemn it in every way. But | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
many MPs feel that much of the recent abuse is coming from his | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
supporters. I have received a number of serious threats from a range of | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
sources from the far right, Islamist extremist, but also the left, and | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
the majority of what I would say is the lower level of usage recently | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
has come from the left. But one senior Jeremy Corbyn supporter said | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
that the suggestion the abuses coming mainly from his supporters is | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
a concerted tactic being used by his opponents. Becky joined Labour last | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
month in support of Jeremy Corbyn. She told me that whilst racism, | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
misogyny, and direct personal abuse is unacceptable, MPs should accept | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
they will face strong opinions. The problem is definitely not unique to | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
the left. It is Internet wide. It is a problem with wife in general. I | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
was a waitress for 15 years and dealt with abuse day in day out. You | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
just need a thick skin, I had one for the minimum wage, I'm sure they | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
can do so for the ?80,000 per year they are receiving. Threats of death | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
and violence can come from anywhere on the political spectrum, but there | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
is a variety regarding the leadership contest. One MP said that | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
one thing can feed the other people with extreme views can feel | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
emboldened to make threats because of the atmosphere created social | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
media by so many messages of personal abuse. There are calls on | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
both sides for a clean campaign this summer but some fear the leadership | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
battle may be a catalyst for more personal abuse. | :11:43. | :11:43. | |
Bovine TB is the "single biggest problem" facing animal health | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
That's according to Wales' Chief Vet. | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
Professor Christianne Glossop has been defending the Welsh | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
Government's record on fighting the disease, after farming leaders | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
at the Royal Welsh Show renewed calls for a badger cull. | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
Our Environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger is there. | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
We are in the cattle shed where one of the challenges of this you's show | :11:58. | :12:13. | |
has been keeping the animals cool in the hot weather. But the biggest | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
challenge across the country according to the chief vet, is | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
bovine TB. And working out how best to tackle it is a huge issue. It is | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
a curse lurking in our countryside. Gareth's farm has been hit by TB | :12:30. | :12:39. | |
many times in recent years, it has meant moving his cattle whilst some | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
have been taken away and killed. I regularly hear of herds that have | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
20, 30, 40, 50 cows going down. Even 100 or more. One neighbour of ours | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
had 300 and lost 100 last year. At the Royal Welsh Show farming leaders | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
say the Welsh Government must get a grip on the situation. They claim | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Wales could struggle to export meat after Brexit if we do not achieve | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
TB-free status. Last year and eradication scheme was launched, | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
since then there has been a 37% fall in outbreaks but the number of | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
cattle being put down is increasing. Almost 9000 in the | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
cattle being put down is increasing. Almost 9000 in year leading up to | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
April, a rise in the previous year. In my job not a day has gone by when | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
In my job not a day has gone by when I have not been focusing on | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
TB, it is the single because problem we have when dealing with animal | :13:46. | :13:54. | |
welfare. -- single guest. We are reading deeper into the farms that | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
have TB and as a result we are taking more animals right now. But | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
what about badgers? They also get TB and can spread it to cattle. A | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
global shortage of the TB jab has meant a vaccination programme in | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
Pembrokeshire has been put on hold. Farming unions say it should be | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
scrapped altogether, they want to see badger cull allowed in Wales | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
like in England and Northern Ireland. We need a national | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
programme of TB management here in Wales to ensure we don't face any | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
risk at all on our trade negotiations down-the-line. The | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
rural affairs Secretary said she recognised the issue is of great | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
concern to farmers and promised an update on future plans to tackle TB | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
by the autumn. Back on his farm Gareth is far from hopeful. The | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
enthusiasm that we seem to see from the Welsh Government is poor. It is | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
too much of a political hot potato. It is decimating the Welsh | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
countryside. The chief vet says her team are watching the badger cull | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
and other parts of the UK closely to see if there are any benefits. | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
Changing practices and continued testing, she says, are also key. It | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
is a complicated picture causing real distress in the rule Wales. | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
A seminar is being held on the showground this evening for farmers | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
to be presented with the very latest evidence around bovine TB from the | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
chief vet. It is hard to overstate the level of concern, along with | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
Brexit it has dominated discussion at the show. | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
We've been underground to take an exclusive | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
look at the electrified track being installed in the roof | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
And these young farmers are just starting out in the industry. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
We'll hear about the challenges they say they face. | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
The editor-in-chief of Wales Online has said he is "absolutely" | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
Paul Rowland was speaking after sister title, the Daily Post, | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
It was a move that was attacked by politicians - | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
But Mr Rowland says his own publications are committed | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
He's been speaking to our Arts and Media correspondent, Huw Thomas. | :16:19. | :16:30. | |
This is the newsroom that feeds one of the fastest-growing websites in | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
Britain. Wales online gets almost 1.5 million visitors per week but | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
for the news industry there is a struggle to make money in a digital | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
world. That has forced cutbacks elsewhere. The daily post made its | :16:46. | :16:58. | |
Senedd reporter redundant. Paul Rowland says his own reporter at the | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
Senedd will be staying and that the press should not be blamed when | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
politicians failed to get their message across. There is a much | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
bigger issue around Wales regard to covering the little process properly | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
beyond just sending a reporter, there's a bigger regards engaging | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
the public in politics, and using the media as a scapegoat only gets | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
us so far. In recent years politicians haven't looked on as | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
some newspapers have closed completely while others cut back. | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
Fewer reporters in the Senedd house meant less scrutiny of Welsh affairs | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
leading some to believe voters are uninformed about decisions affecting | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
their lives. There is a fundamental democratic deficit in Wales, that is | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
why we must look at creating indigenous media in Wales so that we | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
can provide the nation people need about their everyday life will stop | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
look at Scotland, and how there have been successful in doing that. And | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
other parts of Europe also. So that we can try to get to grips with the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
situation. Industry observers say it needs help at a time when headlines | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
really matter. One of the main points about having news reporters | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
on the ground is that you actually need a certain base of qualified, | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
experienced reporters, to do the work and scrutiny. More than ever we | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
now need to be better informed. We are seeing major changes in Wales | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
and in the UK with Brexit. Paul Rowland says politics stories are | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
sometimes the most popular articles on Wales online, but often they are | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
not and lifestyle pieces about restaurants and nostalgia are still | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
a big draw for readers to a site where every click counts. | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
Unemployment in Wales has dropped to its lowest level in a decade. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
The latest figures for March to May show 4.6% | :18:55. | :18:56. | |
of people were out of work - 30,000 | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
The unemployment rate here has fallen faster than any other UK | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
region over the year - and compares to 4.9% | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
The Severn Tunnel has become the first in the UK | :19:05. | :19:13. | |
to have a special version of electrified track | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
The Swiss made device is so advanced, Network Rail have | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
set up their own engineering course at a college in Nantgarw - | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
The tunnel will close in September for six weeks, | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
to allow more work on electrifying the line. | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
Jordan Davies had exclusive access, to take a look. | :19:27. | :19:35. | |
It may not be obvious but this century-old tunnel has had a bit of | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
a makeover. They had originally planned to remove four tonnes of | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
soot but ended up moving 40. It was to prepare for this overhead system, | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
tailored to the tunnel. It will carry power to an electrified | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
trains. The shiny new device is in stark contrast to the dark, damp | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
Severn Tunnel surrounding it. It is made mainly out of high-grade | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
stainless steel to reduce the effect of corrosion on the system. It is | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
designed to be low maintenance so that the people who maintain the | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
railway do not need to spend too much time maintaining it. You | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
excited to see go up? Very excited. And this is how it looks in the | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
light. Swiss made, it is so advanced that contractors have had to go | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
through a bespoke course. They are trained to a standard rarely seen in | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Britain. And it could be a growth area for the college. I have already | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
started discussions within the college whether or not in the next | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
year or two we could consider expanding. If the growth continues | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
at the speed it is then I can see us having to put on an extension in the | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
future. Some of those training are former miners, said to have a | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
natural aptitude for this kind of engineering. It has got to be done | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
the right sequence. Obviously done right, done perfect, and first time, | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
so you don't have to go back on it. It has got to be done right the | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
first time. I'm sure our boys will be up to it. Back in the tunnel, | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
intense work has been carried out to prepare for the rest of the new | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
track. This machine has been specially designed to drill holes in | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
the roof of the Severn Tunnel, they will eventually bring the power to | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
the electrified trains. This tunnel will be completely closed for six | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
weeks insert timber to finish the work. Trains will be diverted. This | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
is just one part of the electrification jigsaw, a mammoth | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
Wojciech already exceeding its original deadline and budget. -- | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
mammoth project. But it is one that will improve connectivity across the | :22:06. | :22:06. | |
border. Let's return to the Royal Welsh Show | :22:07. | :22:07. | |
and Teleri Glyn Jones, I am on the balcony was a great view | :22:08. | :22:24. | |
of the tug-of-war competition behind me, it has been going on all | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
afternoon, it has been heaving around here since lunchtime. | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
Young Farmers Cymru is 80 years old this year - | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
it's been getting young people into the industry since | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
There are calls today for more to be done to help those traditionally | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
from farming backgrounds to get into the industry. If this young farmers | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
tug-of-war competition is anything to go by, the future of Welsh | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
farming is in safe hands. Getting a foothold in the industry is not | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
always a young man's game. This man has helped on a family friend's farm | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
since being at school, a ScottishPower apprentice at the | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
moment, he dreams of getting into the tree himself. I have wanted to | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
be a farmer since I was young. But without a farming background I | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
struggle to get into it, to do so you need a lot of money or a loan, | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
partnerships, there are different ways, but it is a real job just to | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
get started. Here the Scarlets giving a helping hand to promote the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
industry and encourage the next-generation Internet. Avian Jews | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
says the Welsh Government should encourage all the farmers to retire | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
by paying them a pension as the Irish government did some years ago. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
There has been too much emphasis on the youngsters coming in and not | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
enough on the older generation coming out. We want to make it as | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
simple as possible for the older generation to retire with dignity | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
and for the youngsters to come in with enthusiasm. But there is more | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
than one way to reinvigorate the industry and an increasingly popular | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
option is share farming. According to young farmers young people have | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
the energy and skills to be good farmers. The older generation | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
perhaps don't have the strength any longer to run an efficient farms | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
needed now in the modern industry. But they have the land and the | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
infrastructure. The new entrant, as such, they have the energy, the | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
skill, and the power to move the farm on and to take it on to being | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
an efficient farm. The Welsh Government say that developing the | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
next generation and creating opportunities for those not | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
traditionally from farming at grounds is a top priority, securing | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
the sustainability of the industry depends on it. It has been a lovely | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
day here, not as hot as yesterday but still warm and dry. Will it last | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
until the final day of the show tomorrow? Here is the forecast. | :25:06. | :25:22. | |
Temperatures today lower than yesterday. Only 21 in parts, but | :25:23. | :25:32. | |
still very warm elsewhere, up to 27 Celsius, 81 Fahrenheit. The heat and | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
humidity led to thunderstorms in parts of it, North, and West Wales | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
earlier today. This picture of lightning taken by a viewer, another | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
of lightning over Snowdonia. We are not expecting any thunderstorms | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
tonight. It will be dry and partly cloudy. Clear spells. A more | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
comfortable night for sleeping. Last night it did not drop below 21 in | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
Cardiff, but cool and fresh everywhere tonight. Here is the | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
picture for eight a.m.. Much of the country dry. A bright in places, | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
sunshine in the north and east. As we had further south and west, more | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
cloud. One or two showers. The wind is light and feels quite fresh. | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
During the day a few showers will spread north-eastward. Hit and miss | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
but if you catch one it could be heavy. Saying that, a lots of places | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
will remain dry. Sunshine and pleasantly warm, top temperatures | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
19-21dC with a light to moderate breeze. Most places dry but with | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
showers dotted around light in the night. On Friday, dry and bright | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
weather and sunshine, scattered showers, heavy in places and I would | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
not rural out thunder. It will feel warm with light winds. A ridge of | :26:57. | :27:01. | |

Saturday looks the best day of the weekend, most of the day is dry, | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
sunshine, although on Sunday there is the risk of rain, which may be | :27:11. | :27:12. | |
heavy. Our main news again: police and the | :27:13. | :27:22. | |
Ministry of Defence are investigating after a soldier died | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
during a training march in Brecon. 26-year-old corporal Joshua Hoole | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
had just completed the eight mile route when he collapsed yesterday | :27:32. | :27:32. | |
