0:00:14 > 0:00:16Good evening.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Welsh Labour could separate from the rest of the UK party
0:00:18 > 0:00:21if Jeremy Corbyn remains leader, according to a former
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Welsh Government minister.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Leighton Andrews said the current Labour leadership election was "very
0:00:28 > 0:00:31serious" for the party.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34But Corbyn supporters have told BBC Wales that party membership is high,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36and say talk of splits is unhelpful.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Here's our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Wales has been at the heart of the Labour Party
0:00:43 > 0:00:45throughout its history.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47The party's first leader Keir Hardie represented Merthyr
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and during the '70s and '80s, three leaders in a row represented
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Welsh constituencies - James Callaghan, Michael Foot
0:00:51 > 0:00:54and Neil Kinnock.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58But as the current crisis facing the party continues,
0:00:58 > 0:01:00this former Welsh Government minister says if Jeremy Corbyn
0:01:00 > 0:01:10remains as leader, the party in Wales could go its own way.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14I certainly think it would be an autonomous Welsh Labour Party,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17but it could be a separate Welsh Labour Party and at this point
0:01:17 > 0:01:20I wouldn't rule anything out.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23I think this leadership election is potentially the last
0:01:23 > 0:01:27opportunity for British Labour.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Mr Andrews knows about the challenge facing Labour - he lost his seat
0:01:30 > 0:01:32in May's election and says Jeremy Corbyn, even though he barely
0:01:32 > 0:01:35appeared here during the campaign, was a vote loser in that election.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38He supports Owen Smith for leader, but this former leader
0:01:38 > 0:01:40of the party in Wales thinks, whatever happens next,
0:01:40 > 0:01:48Labour will find it difficult to remain as a UK-wide party.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Certainly, a split would be sad and will be difficult,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54because it is more difficult to put things back together again
0:01:54 > 0:01:57when they have been broken than it is to try to maintain
0:01:57 > 0:02:03a unity of purpose.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06There is a long summer ahead for the two rivals as they try
0:02:06 > 0:02:09to win votes from the hundreds of thousands of party members
0:02:09 > 0:02:11to become leader, but after the result is declared in September,
0:02:11 > 0:02:16it's not certain if UK Labour will still include Wales.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Ukip Wales leader Nathan Gill says he will not stand
0:02:19 > 0:02:21down from his MEP role, claiming those making the call
0:02:21 > 0:02:24are doing it out of "malice."
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Mr Gill, who is also now an Assembly Member, has been told
0:02:27 > 0:02:30to stop "double jobbing" by Ukip's German Steve Crowther.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32But Mr Gill says he can do the both jobs and doesn't
0:02:32 > 0:02:40take home two salaries.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42A North Wales coach company are helping French police
0:02:42 > 0:02:45with their inquiries after one of their buses crashed
0:02:45 > 0:02:46in Eastern France.
0:02:46 > 0:02:4813 teenagers from Cheltenham were injured - two seriously -
0:02:48 > 0:02:50after the coach from Express Motors in Penygroes overturned
0:02:50 > 0:02:53into a ditch yesterday.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57The drivers are being interviewed by police.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Hundreds of people have gathered to celebrate the anniversary
0:03:01 > 0:03:03of an historic bridge, which has played an important part
0:03:03 > 0:03:06in linking communities in Wales and England for 200 years.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11The Grade One listed Chepstow Bridge is the longest iron bridge
0:03:11 > 0:03:13of its age to survive, as Carys Notley reports.
0:03:13 > 0:03:20Connecting two nations for two centuries, spanning 34 metres
0:03:20 > 0:03:25across the River Wye, Chepstow Bridge, a five-arch iron
0:03:25 > 0:03:29structure built and designed by engineer John Rastrick in 1816.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Today, to mark the milestone, a procession, uniting
0:03:33 > 0:03:35how it was first opened two centuries ago.
0:03:35 > 0:03:44Chepstow Bridge is 200 years old today!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46And it's stood the test of time - now grade one listed,
0:03:46 > 0:03:51it's the oldest standing bridge of its kind.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It's the largest iron arch Road Bridge remaining for the first
0:03:54 > 0:03:5950 years of iron in bridges and so it is incredibly important
0:03:59 > 0:04:02to the world and we have a river that is really strange -
0:04:02 > 0:04:04it flows four times in different directions every day
0:04:04 > 0:04:12because of such high tides.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14For residents, it has been both practical and provided some
0:04:14 > 0:04:15particular memories.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18One day I was coming to the English side and the river
0:04:18 > 0:04:20and it was just red with tomatoes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25A lorry full of tomatoes had gone completely over the top.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Until the second bridge opened in the it played a vital
0:04:28 > 0:04:30role in uniting Wales with the west Country.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The hope is it will continue to bring English and Welsh
0:04:33 > 0:04:38communities together for another 200 years.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Welsh cyclists Geraint Thomas and Luke Rowe helped Sky teammate
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Chris Froome to victory in this year's Tour de France.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Thomas and Froome will ride again together for Team
0:04:46 > 0:04:47GB in the Olympics.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49A quick look at the weather now.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Rain in the east will die away during the evening, leaving a dry
0:04:52 > 0:04:53night with some clear periods.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Tomorrow, there will be some sunshine, but also showers,
0:04:56 > 0:04:57possibly heavy at times in the afternoon.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Highs of 19 Celsius.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We'll be back in Breakfast from around 6:25 tomorrow morning.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Thanks for watching.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Goodnight.
0:05:09 > 0:05:09Good
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Good evening.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13Good evening. After
