Years of policies to help vulnerable people out of poverty. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
So how come so many are still struggling? | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
We are supposed to be one of the richest nations in the world. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
They don't look after the pensioners how they should. | :00:19. | :00:35. | |
Wales at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
Tonight, why we won't be hosting it any time soon. | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
150 people who work at Dow Corning chemical plant in Barry | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Why any next generation of nuclear power in Wales needs | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
to create local jobs and demonstrate value for money. | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
It has been extraordinarily greedy for subsidies over many, | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
many years and they are still asking for subsidies. | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
Why patients are being encouraged to understand more about cancer. | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
We've had years of policies to try to get people out | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
So how come so many people are still struggling? | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
Tonight, calls for the Welsh Government to be given | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
A report from the Bevan Foundation says current policies aren't | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
working, as nearly a quarter of the population are struggling | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
to make ends meet, a figure which hasn't gone down in a decade. | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
The Department For Work And Pensions has calculated how much money | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
you need to have left after you've paid your rent or mortgage to be | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
If you're single with no children, you need ?7332 a year left over. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
But if you're a couple with two children, it's more | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Here's our economics correspondent Sarah Dickins. | :02:02. | :02:15. | |
Looking for bargains, that is what so many households across Wales have | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
to do every week. Outside London, Wales has the | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
highest proportion of working age people living in poverty, despite | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
having low and implement than the UK. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
In Wales, nearly one in three children live in poverty, as do one | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
in four working age adults, and one in six pensioners. For 15 years, the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
level of pensioners living in poverty fell but, for the last three | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
years, it has risen. People have lived off their savings. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
They have always saved for a rainy day. | :02:52. | :02:52. | |
It has come faster than I thought. | :02:53. | :03:15. | |
This has been a real shift from people being in poverty who are out | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
of work to in-work poverty. In Ceredigion Emma Turner is studying | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
at university and working all the hours she can to bring up her | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
children. The Government says a single parent with two children need | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
?291 a week after paying per household bills to be above the | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
poverty level. If you have rent to pay, the average | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
house price rental around here is around ?600 a month for a | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
three-bedroom house. Since demolition, successive Welsh | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
Government have made combating poverty a priority and many millions | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
have been spent on schemes, from free school breakfasts, to attempt | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
to get children with few qualifications into work, to get | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
more parents working and older people as well. And initiatives to | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
attract more investment and jobs into Wales. These figures suggest | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
poverty hasn't changed over all those years. The Bevan Foundation is | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
proposing one radical approach, devolving benefits. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
Such new ideas may gain momentum. Housing benefit could make a | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
difference, there is ?1 billion coming into Wales and straight into | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
the landlords's pockets. If that money was used better we could build | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
more houses and people could have more affordable, secure homes. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
The Welsh Government says it is working | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
hard to create jobs and | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
improve skills but when Wales is enjoying the steepest increase in | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
jobs in the UK, yet still has levels of poverty, it suggests the problem | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
is about more than just getting people into work. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
It's one of the biggest sports events in the world but the 2026 | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Commonwealth Games will not be staged here. | :04:49. | :04:49. | |
The Welsh Government has announced that an all-Wales bid for the event | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
will not go ahead due, in part, to financial uncertainty | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
Glasgow 2014, a record 36 Welsh medals in what many say | :04:55. | :05:06. | |
was the most successful staging of the Commonwealth Games. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
It is likely to be the closest Welsh athletes get to a home | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
With estimates suggesting the cost for an all-Wales bid for the 2020 | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
The Welsh Government has decided it is not feasible. | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
We would love to be able to bid for the Games but in the current | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
but in the current circumstance, leaving Europe and | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
the cost to Wales was judged to be too great. | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
An official report into Glasgow's staging of the Games two years ago | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
and it was worth ?740 million to the Scottish economy | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
with the city getting close to ?400 million. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Around 690,000 people are estimated to have visited Glasgow | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
With cross-party support for a bid, the announcement today has been met | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
They have damaged Wales' future in terms of economic development, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
It costs a lot of money to host the Games but you earn a lot | :06:05. | :06:16. | |
of money directly and indirectly and you can't buy advertising | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
The Welsh Government's preferred bid would have seen events staged | :06:19. | :06:34. | |
With increased costs and greater logistical problems, it is believed | :06:35. | :06:44. | |
they would not have gained support with voting nations. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The chair of the committee leading the bid says an estimate is needed. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
If we had this world-class sports facilities, like people | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
who hosted the Games before, a lot of cost is to develop that. | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
With one of football's greatest events, the Champions League final, | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
being staged in Wales next year, Wales is still on the map | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
The Welsh Government says it is ordering a review into sports | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
facilities here to bring other big events here in the future. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Let's talk to our political editor Nick Servini. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
How significant is the timing of this? | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
The timing is fascinating, we are at a very sensitive moment in working | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
out what Brexit means for the Welsh economy. We have a high-profile | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
announcement, and the reason we're not bidding is because of Brexit. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
The danger for Welsh Government ministers is obvious. At a time when | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
virtually every statement on this is that Wales is open for business, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
something like this comes along and it can affect the sense of | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
confidence that they are trying to create. I suspect that is why the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
opposition parties have come in so hard on this, calling it an own goal | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
and pathetic. But it would have cost | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
a huge amount of money. There will be plenty who will say | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
this is sensible. That was reflected in the Welsh | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Government official I spoke to. The first sentence he said was, for ?1.5 | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
billion you could build an M4 relief road. There are questions why those | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
projected costs are so high but the clear feeling was the huge amounts | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
of money and uncertainty out there which meant it was not justifiable | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
to spend that amount on a sporting event. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
The death of a man from Bronygarth near Oswestry, who fell from a cliff | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
while trekking in Peru, has been recorded as | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
Harry Greaves' body was found two weeks after he was | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Parents have accused Carmarthenshire Council | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
of "enforcing the Welsh language" over plans to remove | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
English medium education from Llangennech Primary School. | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
The council says the demand for Welsh medium provision | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
is increasing, and they want to encourage this. | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
The proposals will now go out for consultation. | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
115 people who work at Dow Corning chemical plant in the Vale | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
of Glamorgan have tonight lost their jobs. | :09:11. | :09:11. | |
Workers were told last month that some jobs at the Barry-based | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
Let's talk to our business correspondent Brian Meechan. | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
What more do we know? This site in Barry is one of the most advanced | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
manufacturing sites for silicon anywhere in the world, silicon is | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
used in cosmetics, construction, so it can be used to make make up last | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
longer, or used to make sure buildings and bridges stand the test | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
of time. It employs 630 people at the Barry | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
site and has been operating for over 60 years. The company has announced | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
there would be a global restructuring of the company, and | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
everyone was quite concerned about what that potentially would mean for | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
the Barry site. Now it has become significantly clearer that it is not | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
good news for those 115 workers. And the knock on effect of those workers | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
losing the money that goes into the local community potentially. | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Also, silicone and chemicals, it is very high energy using industry, and | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
as in steel, energy costs can be a big problem in the UK compared to | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
other parts of the world. One thing that has to be said is | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
that the company is clear this decision has nothing to do with | :10:41. | :10:41. | |
Brexit. Thank you. | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Much more to come before seven o'clock. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Great fishing on the River Taff this afternoon. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
The latest production for National Theatre Wales. | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
The new boss tells us she plans to be bold and brave. | :10:57. | :11:09. | |
Future nuclear power projects in Wales need to show value | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
That's the call from MPs who sit on Westminster's | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
A report published by them today looks at the potential of developing | :11:16. | :11:26. | |
new nuclear power stations at Wylfa and Trawsfynydd in North Wales. | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
Our environment correspondent, Steffan Messenger, has the story. | :11:29. | :11:37. | |
For more than half a century there has been a history | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
Well, the old Wilfa power station on Anglesey was shut down last year | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
there are plans for a new ?8 billion plant next door. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Meanwhile in Gwynedd, there are calls to redevelop | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
Plenty for the Welsh Affairs Committee to consider | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
with its inquiry into the industry in Wales. | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
It took evidence about the economic and environmental impact | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
of new nuclear sites and how the Welsh and UK Governments | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
were working together to deliver them. | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
We think nuclear has an important place in the future energy mix, | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
that is my view, and that of virtually all the electric | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
They are saying economically it is important | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
because the wages that are paid in the industry are much higher. | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Once operational, there is a promise of 850 well-paid jobs at Wilfa | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
but the report says more needs to be done to train people in | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
North Wales so they are in the best position to go for them. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Nuclear and electric energy is important for the prosperity | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
of the island, not only job numbers but the quality of employment | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
and impacts in terms of spending power for businesses | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
and establishments across the island. | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
Building nuclear power stations is a costly, complex business. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Hinkley Point C in Somerset which could finally get the go-ahead | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
The UK Government has faced criticism for the high price it | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
agreed to pay for electricity from this site. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
The report says the cost of energy from Wilfa must be low or else it | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Nuclear power has consumed more than half of all the subsidies | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
It has been extraordinarily greedy for subsidies over many | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
years and they are still asking for subsidies. | :13:28. | :13:42. | |
When it comes to the reactor currently being decommissioned, | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
the report says the first of a new generation of smaller | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
reactors should be installed here to help regenerate the area. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
We have the chance to become a global leading hub | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
for the development of small modular reactors. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
If we wait longer in terms of the new nuclear programme | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
we are at a tipping point of nuclear skills to a point where there | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
will be very few people who are trained and highly skilled | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
enough to design and deliver a nuclear programme. | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
The MPs say they recognise levels of concern among the general public | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
about proposals for new nuclear power plants but are reassured | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
by the industry's safety record in the UK and the opportunity | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
for the economy of Wales they claim is too good to miss. | :14:15. | :14:25. | |
You'll find good fishing on the River Taff and, from today, | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
It's the biggest of its kind in Wales costing nearly ?4 million | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
to build and Cardiff Council hopes its new hydro electricity | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
plant will help to offset its annual ?10 million power bill. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
Radyr Weir was built in 1774 to divert water to what would become | :14:38. | :14:52. | |
the largest tin plate works in the wild downstream. The mill was | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
powered exclusively by the River Taff. 250 years later, the waters | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
still flow over the weird but from today it will produce electricity. | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
When both these turbines are turning it is estimated there will generate | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
around 1.6 gigawatts of electricity every year, enough to power 550 | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
homes. The biggest project of its kind in Wales at a cost of ?3.9 | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
million. Cardiff Castle contributing most of the total spent. The | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
lectures degenerated will be sold to the National Grid and it is | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
estimated within 12 years the project will have paid for itself. | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
Any profits will be put towards the council's electricity bill. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Small-scale projects are growing in popularity with over 15 community | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
funded schemes like this one already in operation. But with any | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
construction project, there are ecological considerations. Here, | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
there is a newly constructed fish pass funded by natural resources | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
Wales. There was an old fish pass for | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
salmon and trout, the Nuwan passing up this route allows more species of | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
fish to pass upstream, increasing diversity and the fish population | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
stocks as the River Taff recovers. The fish are happy as are the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
cyclists. This section of the trout is closed during construction but | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
has now reopened. As the turbines weighing 30 times each produce | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
electricity for the first time, it is hoped Radyr Weir can attract | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
visitors and generate renewable energy for a generation to come. | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
Cancer patients at Glan Clwyd Hospital in Denbighshire | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
are being offered question and answer sessions | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
The six-month trial is a joint venture by the North Wales Health | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Its aim is to reduce the anxiety some people feel before | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Chris Dunning from Pentre Halkyn in Flintshire has just completed | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
the second of three chemotherapy sessions for cancer | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
Having previously attended a session with medical and support staff | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
who told him what to expect, he's speaking to patients | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
about to undergo their own treatment. | :17:15. | :17:15. | |
If you know what you're going to expect when | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
It is actually not a horrible place, it is quite a pleasant environment | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
to sit while they give you an infusion with different drugs. | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
As a consequence, I knew where I was coming, what I was doing | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
and what the day might look like, rather than this worry | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
that I was building up in my head before that. | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
The classes explain what chemotherapy is, | :17:40. | :17:40. | |
how it could affect people and what steps they can | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
take to stay as healthy as possible during treatment. | :17:43. | :17:54. | |
Hospitals can be bewildering at the best of times which is why | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
there is a list showing you where to go. | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
Now the hospital has created a road map to guide people | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Patients and their families are able to ask about anything that concerns | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
One of my main questions was, will I lose my hair. | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
At my age, I am pleased with my bonnet. | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
I was told ii properly wouldn't lose my hair | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
And now they are going to make me unhealthy to make me look healthy. | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
That is just getting my head around that. | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
But the advice and support extends beyond the merely medical. | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
We do our best to enable them to be more confident going home having | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
We would like them to be able to seek help and ask for attention, | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
We are here to help people with any financial problems they have. | :18:47. | :18:58. | |
They can join our choirs, they can speak to a nurse | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
We also have a cancer call-back service to speak to patients | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
regularly to see how they are doing through treatment. | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
The six-month trial is halfway through and the vast | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
majority of participants have found it useful. | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
A cancer diagnosis can be a journey into the unknown but the classes | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
should help to illuminate at least part of it. | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
Welsh Olympic cyclist Becky James has told the BBC the Olympics should | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
be a level playing field, following allegations of doping | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
She was speaking as the Great Britain Olympic cycling team | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
held their final training sessions at the National Velodrome in Newport | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
Wales is well represented on the team, as Jordan | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
And for Team GB training here in Newport so do medals. | :19:35. | :20:01. | |
Wales at the heart of the team with the likes of Elinior Barker, | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
We went to California for altitude camp as a big group. | :20:05. | :20:13. | |
We had 100 good days of consistent training. | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
No one has had any injuries or illnesses. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
If we are beaten, all you can say is that we were in | :20:20. | :20:37. | |
And Abergavenney#s Becky James certainly is. | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
This moment has been a long time coming after missing out | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
And, after allegations of doping among Russian athletes, | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
she has faith her competitors will race cleanly. | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
It should be a level fair playing field. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
It is awful for those if you miss out on a medal as you got knocked | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
out first round by someone who was doping then. | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
These were the scenes at London 2012. | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
12 medals for Team GB, eight of sheer gold. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
It's where heroes became legends and propelled the sport into | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
And this will have helped Chris Froome becoming the first | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
Assisted by the man to his left, Wales' very own Geraint Thomas, | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
one of the biggest names on two wheels at the Games. | :21:17. | :21:28. | |
The Wales National Velodrome once again the staging point | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
for our cycling stars before they compete against | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
Let's hope the success that followed in London is repeated in Rio. | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
Seven Welsh Paralympians have been added to Team GB's track and field | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
They'll be joining discus and shot put athlete Aled Sion Davies | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
and javelin thrower Holly Arnold who had already been included. | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
And in the Royal London One-Day at Chelmsford. | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
The new boss of National Theatre Wales has called for the company | :22:03. | :22:17. | |
Kully Thiarai has come to Wales after running | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
She's already getting hands-on with the company's latest | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
production, as our arts and media correspondent Huw Thomas | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
Rehearsals for Wonder Man, the latest show | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
It will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe next month with these last | :22:34. | :22:42. | |
few days of rehearsals overseen by the most powerful | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
Kully Thiarai is new to Wales but brings a familiar | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
in unusual locations that has come to define the National | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
Its Passion in Port Talbot brought thousands on the streets, | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
and the countryside in Usk doubled as northern France to tell the story | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
And under new leadership it is still a core ambition to take | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
new work to audiences across the country. | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
It is such an enormous commitment to people across the country | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
and made a really national and international impact. | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
It feels a huge responsibility but a really exciting opportunity | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Kully Thierai comes highly recommended, an experienced theatre | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
director in the north of England and Midlands, | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
she launched a thriving new venue called Cast in Doncaster in a part | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
of south Yorkshire that had been underserved by the arts. | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
On getting the job in Wales this year, the Guardian heaped praise | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
on her appointment saying she was one of the arts | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
Her first task is to oversee a huge celebration of Roald Dahl | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
in Cardiff in September, 100 years since he was born | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
Wonder Man, based on Roald Dahl's stories for adults, is an appetiser, | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
but for the new artistic director, the characters and landscapes | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Our commitment is based on people and place. | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
Our ambition remains we push the art form. | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
That we experiment and we are bold and brave in the work we make | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
The actors prepare for opening night but Kully Thiarai is already some | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
way into her opening scene guiding National Theatre Wales | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
through the next steps of its creative life. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
Curtain up now on tonight's sell-out production starring Derek Brockway. | :24:35. | :24:42. | |

visibility especially on higher ground. It will improve with | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
brighter weather spreading down from the North West. By 4pm, the weather | :25:41. | :25:47. | |

with sunshine. Visibility will improve. Quite pleasant. Highest | :25:53. | :25:57. | |

the sun. And a reminder of today's | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
headlines from the BBC. So-called Islamic State | :27:13. | :27:14. | |
has claimed an attack An 84-year-old priest died | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
in the attack and four others were taken hostage as two armed men | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
stormed the church in Rouen. And a report is calling | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
for the Welsh Government to be given power over welfare benefits | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
so it can tackle the number The Bevan Foundation says current | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
policies aren't working as nearly a quarter of the population | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
can't make ends meet I'll have an update for you here | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
at eight o'clock and again From all of us on the programme, | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
have a good evening. | :27:50. | :27:53. |
