:00:00. > :00:00.some places could get a real downpour. England

:00:00. > :00:08.Is Social Care here really at 'Tipping Point?'

:00:09. > :00:16.There are calls for urgent action to avert a crisis before Christmas.

:00:17. > :00:23.What we currently have a dysfunctional system, dysfunctional

:00:24. > :00:25.is the word we would use. We need to ensure that the health and social

:00:26. > :00:29.Also tonight, six months after the collapse of the Didcot

:00:30. > :00:31.Power Station Christopher Huxtable from Swansea is still missing, his

:00:32. > :00:42.I talked to him. It sounds stupid, doesn't it?

:00:43. > :00:46.The Archbishop of Wales announces he's to retire in January.

:00:47. > :00:48.Dr Barry Morgan is the longest serving Archbishop in the Anglican

:00:55. > :00:57.but one former Gold medallist tells us budget cuts ahead

:00:58. > :01:21.People who are cared for in their own houses

:01:22. > :01:24.and residential homes are facing a "winter of discontent" if urgent

:01:25. > :01:27.action isn't taken to ease funding and recruitment pressures,

:01:28. > :01:40.that's according to the body which represents care-providers here.

:01:41. > :01:42.Matthew Richards has been to meet Mario Kreft,

:01:43. > :01:46.An art and craft session for residents of a nursing

:01:47. > :01:49.Elderly and disabled people here are encouraged

:01:50. > :01:52.to indulge their creative side as part of a wide programme

:01:53. > :01:57.But a senior figure in the care industry says that creative thinking

:01:58. > :01:59.is also urgently needed to stop a catastrophe in the sector this

:02:00. > :02:04.You can only innovate if you're working with partners.

:02:05. > :02:07.Currently, the relationship between the sector, generally

:02:08. > :02:17.speaking, and has boards and local authorities is not where Richard B.

:02:18. > :02:22.And local authorities is not where it should be.

:02:23. > :02:24.We want to see those organisations and regulators

:02:25. > :02:27.led by the Welsh government, trying to make some sense of this.

:02:28. > :02:29.If we don't we going to have real winter of discontent.

:02:30. > :02:32.Mario Kreft says a lack of investment combined with a major

:02:33. > :02:35.increase in the number of over 85s in the next 20 years plus moves

:02:36. > :02:38.to increase pay in line with the so-called living wage

:02:39. > :02:40.is a triple whammy pushing services to a tipping point.

:02:41. > :02:43.Staff at nursing homes like they say they have noticed growing pressures,

:02:44. > :02:46.and they always make sure residents are the last people to suffer.

:02:47. > :02:48.But they say that the current level of Carey is unsustainable

:02:49. > :02:52.Tracy Cuthill runs a care home for people with physical disabilities.

:02:53. > :02:56.She says the comparative underfunding of the social sector

:02:57. > :02:58.compared with the NHS means staff are fighting

:02:59. > :03:03.I had a gentleman in from a hospital two months ago came

:03:04. > :03:09.Now, as far as they were concerned he was going to lie in bed

:03:10. > :03:11.until such time we could get him a wheelchair.

:03:12. > :03:13.Now, that's not our responsibility either, but then, you want

:03:14. > :03:22.It's a basic human rights, but because of waiting lists,

:03:23. > :03:30.You are almost pleading for basic human rights to get out of bed.

:03:31. > :03:32.The Social Services minister wasn't available for interview

:03:33. > :03:34.but the Welsh Government says the sector is neither

:03:35. > :03:42.The majority of adult care homes raised no concerns in a recent

:03:43. > :03:45.report and it says it's investing in both health and

:03:46. > :03:49.But some experts say the system is in a fragile state.

:03:50. > :03:51.The businesses are particularly financially fragile,

:03:52. > :03:53.which means that residents in them are vulnerable

:03:54. > :03:59.If they are slow one payments, the banking and lending institutions

:04:00. > :04:02.could ask for a big financial payment, and they don't bother

:04:03. > :04:07.to find out which business it is they are demanding those from.

:04:08. > :04:10.In those instances older people become commodities in the business

:04:11. > :04:12.model where the profit margins are locked at instead

:04:13. > :04:20.The art class in Wrexham is drawing to a close.

:04:21. > :04:23.It's part of the added value staff are trying to provide for some

:04:24. > :04:27.of the most vulnerable people in society.

:04:28. > :04:31.They warn it could be lost unless the picture improves.

:04:32. > :04:34.I'm joined by Sarah Rochira, the Older People's Commissioner,

:04:35. > :04:37.to pick up on some of the points raised in Matthew's report,

:04:38. > :04:40.Sarah Rochira, some serious concerns raised about the fragility

:04:41. > :04:48.of the care system in that report, should we be concerned

:04:49. > :04:56.I don't think anybody has any doubt about the pressures facing the

:04:57. > :05:00.social care system, financial pressures, recruitment pressures,

:05:01. > :05:04.particularly in terms of nurses, but also care home managers.

:05:05. > :05:08.In parts of Wales we don't have providers and others are struggling,

:05:09. > :05:11.but can't get the support to improve.

:05:12. > :05:16.It is a complex and long-standing issue.

:05:17. > :05:22.Mario said they could be a crisis within the next few months, bet you

:05:23. > :05:25.released a major report two years ago highlighting that standards were

:05:26. > :05:31.slipping in homes, why hasn't the situation been turned around?

:05:32. > :05:34.You are absolutely right. We looked at the quality of life of older

:05:35. > :05:40.people but we talked about the systemic problems we have in Wales,

:05:41. > :05:43.the things the system, the Welsh judgment, local authorities and

:05:44. > :05:47.health will need to change. I understood they were difficult.

:05:48. > :05:51.They've been building for a long time.

:05:52. > :05:55.I sought from them and I pushed into assurances, I told them I knew it

:05:56. > :05:58.would take some time, that I'm going to take a follow-up review in

:05:59. > :06:02.November and I publish that next year.

:06:03. > :06:06.I've been very clear, I know there is a huge amount of work going on in

:06:07. > :06:11.Wales, I've seen that myself. There is a huge amount of action,

:06:12. > :06:14.but ultimately we've got to address the systemic issues.

:06:15. > :06:18.I think there is another issue that we're not talking about in Wales.

:06:19. > :06:22.Action is important. The things that has boards do. But they will come a

:06:23. > :06:27.point when we have to talk about that most Google topic, money.

:06:28. > :06:30.People often say we don't have enough money.

:06:31. > :06:35.The reality is that a price is always paid. The prices paid by Paul

:06:36. > :06:40.care, and it is paid by individuals. The time has come when we had to

:06:41. > :06:44.have a grown-up debate as a society, but a debate led by government about

:06:45. > :06:48.what they are prepared to invest into social care.

:06:49. > :06:53.That is important to the workforce. You talk about investment, it is a

:06:54. > :06:57.complex situation, we heard in the report about staffing and

:06:58. > :07:02.recruitment problems, low morale. Is throwing money going to help?

:07:03. > :07:06.Well, I was very clear when I produced the review it's not all

:07:07. > :07:10.about money. There is much we can do once already doing in Wales in best

:07:11. > :07:15.care homes, that doesn't cost anything. One of the things I did

:07:16. > :07:19.talk about, and focus on, was investment in the workforce.

:07:20. > :07:23.Wherever you find great care, you find great people. We need to invest

:07:24. > :07:27.in those people. We need to pay them are probably with their terms and

:07:28. > :07:37.conditions, we provide opportunities for training and career advancement.

:07:38. > :07:41.Those will come with a cost. I am clear that it is a price not just

:07:42. > :07:42.worth paying, but a price we have to pay if people are not going to

:07:43. > :07:43.suffer in Wales. It's six months since the collapse

:07:44. > :07:45.of Didcot Power Station in Oxfordshire which trapped three

:07:46. > :07:47.workers including Christopher His family have spoken today saying

:07:48. > :07:50.they now need closure. Politicians representing

:07:51. > :07:52.the families of the workers say they're "horrified" by how long it's

:07:53. > :08:06.taking to recover their bodies. Returning to the site with a loved

:08:07. > :08:09.one is still lying. Six months on the body of Christopher Huxtable

:08:10. > :08:15.from Swansea has been trapped under the rubble since Didcot power

:08:16. > :08:19.station collapsed in February. His sister and daughter save the last

:08:20. > :08:22.few months have been torture. It's not nice to think he still out

:08:23. > :08:28.there after six months. They should get him out.

:08:29. > :08:33.I hope they get him out soon. I talked to him I do, through the

:08:34. > :08:42.scrap. It sounds stupid, doesn't it. It's the only thing I can do. I just

:08:43. > :08:45.think it needs to bring closure now. Destruction, devastation, this was

:08:46. > :08:49.the scene at Didcot power station not long after part of the

:08:50. > :08:53.decommission site collapsed in February. It killed for demolition

:08:54. > :09:00.workers. Only one of the bodies has been recovered. Today the mail

:09:01. > :09:04.Didcot says the family should now be allowed to mourn.

:09:05. > :09:12.Six months is an acceptable. They should be allowed to move on. Into

:09:13. > :09:16.mourn, and to... Closure is not the right word. But they should be able

:09:17. > :09:21.to actually just step away from thinking about Didcot and focusing

:09:22. > :09:25.on their own lives and families. Politicians representing the

:09:26. > :09:28.families have also criticised the recovery effort. One Swansea MP told

:09:29. > :09:33.me the time it has taken me shopping.

:09:34. > :09:37.As a family representative I am horrified at how long it has taken.

:09:38. > :09:43.It's just unfair, they have no closure. It's a tragedy. A dreadful

:09:44. > :09:46.tragedy. When I think about Didcot I think about the man and the families

:09:47. > :09:56.of the man left grieving without being able to have closure.

:09:57. > :09:59.Last month the demolition of the remaining section was carried out

:10:00. > :10:03.using explosives. The half demolished Sally was finally fully

:10:04. > :10:09.levelled. The search for the men resumed. But around 20,000 tonnes of

:10:10. > :10:13.material still needs to be sifted through. The company which owns the

:10:14. > :10:17.site has defended the recovery operation, it says part of the

:10:18. > :10:20.structure have proven challenging to remove, but they are working seven

:10:21. > :10:24.days a week and their priority is recovering the man.

:10:25. > :10:28.For the families of those whose body is still a end of the rubble the

:10:29. > :10:31.A 23-year-old man has appeared in Cardiff Crown court accused

:10:32. > :10:34.Police were called to a property in the Llandaff area

:10:35. > :10:38.Jordan Matthews is accused of killing 24-year-old Xi-Xi Bi.

:10:39. > :10:42.He's been remanded in custody until October.

:10:43. > :10:44.The firm behind plans to build a ?120 million holiday village

:10:45. > :10:47.on Anglesey has bought 600 acres of land for the development.

:10:48. > :10:50.Land and Lakes has purchased the site at Holy Island,

:10:51. > :10:52.where they plan to develop 800 lodges and cottages,

:10:53. > :10:59.They also plan to restore buildings on the Penrhos estate.

:11:00. > :11:02.The company claims the new resort will generate hundreds of jobs.

:11:03. > :11:12.The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, has announced he's

:11:13. > :11:14.to retire next January, on his 70th birthday.

:11:15. > :11:16.He's the longest serving archbishop in the Anglican communion,

:11:17. > :11:18.and has been a strong voice in public and political

:11:19. > :11:24.He supported more powers for the Assembly, but opposed

:11:25. > :11:29.a change in the law around organ donation.

:11:30. > :11:40.He's led the way on big occasions, here in Llandaff Cathedral two years

:11:41. > :11:42.ago, at the Welsh national service marking 100 years since

:11:43. > :11:46.But has been there too, for communities rocked by personal

:11:47. > :11:51.tragedies as at Gleision, when four miners were killed in 2011.

:11:52. > :11:53.Those within the church credit him with holding it together,

:11:54. > :11:55.when topics like women bishops and same sex marriages,

:11:56. > :12:01.But Archbishop Barry Morgan hasn't been afraid to speak out

:12:02. > :12:10.What I'm not in favour of is this bill which presumes that

:12:11. > :12:15.unless you have opted out then your organs can be used

:12:16. > :12:20.What is it about a prosperous country where people have two depend

:12:21. > :12:24.on food banks to get food, in order to feed their families.

:12:25. > :12:26.There was something really wrong here.

:12:27. > :12:28.I think it's been absolutely right for the Archbishop

:12:29. > :12:31.to take a lead in politics, he will be there to

:12:32. > :12:36.He, across the board has spoken for the vulnerable, particularly

:12:37. > :12:41.That has been hugely appreciated by those of us who work

:12:42. > :12:46.But I think it's appropriate for a bishop of a province

:12:47. > :12:52.He will, of course, received rough treatment from some when he has

:12:53. > :12:57.Dr Morgan stands down in January, when he turns 70.

:12:58. > :13:00.Today he thanked those who have supported him over the years,

:13:01. > :13:04.particularly since the death of his wife earlier this year,

:13:05. > :13:10.a loss, he says, he found enormously hard to bear.

:13:11. > :13:13.Still to come on tonight's programme.

:13:14. > :13:16.It's a waterway with 200 years of history, much of the Swansea

:13:17. > :13:21.Now the engineer who carried out the work has returned to help

:13:22. > :13:31.28C, 82F, the highest temperature recorded in Wales so far this month.

:13:32. > :13:45.Ukip hasn't been far from the headlines in recent weeks

:13:46. > :13:47.partly because of the increasingly bitter battle between

:13:48. > :13:50.Assembly Members Neil Hamilton and Nathan Gill.

:13:51. > :13:54.But the party is also now electing a successor to leader Nigel Farage,

:13:55. > :13:56.and it's a race between five relatively low profile candidates.

:13:57. > :14:01.Our political reporter Paul Martin has been looking at what impact

:14:02. > :14:03.Nigel Farage's departure may have on Ukip in Wales.

:14:04. > :14:14.He's been the face of Ukip for the best part of a decade,

:14:15. > :14:17.and become one of Britain's few celebrity politicians.

:14:18. > :14:20.So this is a story about how everyone has behaved

:14:21. > :14:23.I think that's right, Ian.

:14:24. > :14:29.But no Nigel Farage is stepping down as Ukip leader,

:14:30. > :14:33.and the candidates in the running to replace him are not

:14:34. > :14:38.Even to Ukip supporters, let alone voters generally.

:14:39. > :14:41.One of Nigel Farage's strengths was his ability to appeal to two

:14:42. > :14:44.very different parts of the electorate.

:14:45. > :14:48.On the one hand, voters into dishing only conservative areas,

:14:49. > :15:01.And on the other, ex-Labour supporters in former

:15:02. > :15:05.This constituency was one of Ukip's five second-place finishes

:15:06. > :15:09.So will Nigel Farage standing down make Ukip voters hear less likely

:15:10. > :15:16.I think party members would stand for the same things as he did.

:15:17. > :15:20.He got us out of Europe, and I was so glad.

:15:21. > :15:26.Mark Jones is a former Labour member from Merthyr who now

:15:27. > :15:32.He is worried about the party's future once Nigel Farage

:15:33. > :15:39.He was such a brilliant man to the party.

:15:40. > :15:44.Like I said, when I was on holidays, and I found out he'd left I just

:15:45. > :15:48.think that the party is going to go downhill.

:15:49. > :15:56.Ukip's chairman in Wales is worried too.

:15:57. > :15:59.Mainly about the impact of recent infighting.

:16:00. > :16:01.But he thinks Nigel Farage's successor can unite ex-Labour

:16:02. > :16:10.Some of the worries, you know, the working-class Labour

:16:11. > :16:12.voters in Merthyr are no different from those

:16:13. > :16:16.Particularly will as far as immigration is concerned.

:16:17. > :16:18.Concern about taking jobs, British jobs going

:16:19. > :16:25.So really, I can see how the two sides can come together.

:16:26. > :16:28.Ukip as described Wales as a party stronghold after the election

:16:29. > :16:35.It infighting within the party has followed.

:16:36. > :16:38.The question now is whether Ukip can maintain its support in areas

:16:39. > :16:47.Time for tonight's sport, here's Tomos.

:16:48. > :16:49.Welsh members of Team GB touched down at Heathrow airport greeted

:16:50. > :16:54.A record haul of ten medals was won by the Welsh athletes

:16:55. > :17:00.Among the Gold medallists was sailor Hannah Mills, from Dinas Powys,

:17:01. > :17:06.who won the 4-70 class with her partner Saskia Clarke.

:17:07. > :17:10.The preparation and everything culminating in a two-week long

:17:11. > :17:16.Yes, just mentally and physically exhausted and can't

:17:17. > :17:26.I can't wait to go and watch, as a fan.

:17:27. > :17:27.So that's it, is it?

:17:28. > :17:39.Obviously I'm going to miss Saskia, that will factor in what I decide

:17:40. > :17:47.to do but we'll see how the dust settles.

:17:48. > :17:49.In just over a fortnight Rio will host the Paralympics

:17:50. > :17:52.but the financial crisis affecting the games, is a real concern

:17:53. > :17:55.to athletes here and may affect the image of the event.

:17:56. > :17:57.That's the warning tonight from Disability Sport Wales.

:17:58. > :17:59.Most of the 24 Welsh athletes competing for Paralympics GB

:18:00. > :18:17.Organisers have been forced to announce major budget cuts.

:18:18. > :18:25.They won 22 medals last time around in London. Today's Britain's cycling

:18:26. > :18:31.team trained in Newport. At the weekend most will be flying to a

:18:32. > :18:33.training camp in Brazil, heading to a games overshadowed by financial

:18:34. > :18:37.troubles. It's concerning for the athletes and

:18:38. > :18:42.for the image of the games. I know that the IPC are working with the

:18:43. > :18:47.teams they aren't the Government of Brazil to make sure they put on a

:18:48. > :18:52.good show for the athletes. I think the athletes will be fully supported

:18:53. > :18:57.with no cutbacks, hopefully, on the field of play they wouldn't be any

:18:58. > :19:01.issues. The Paralympics budget has been is tailed back. Cuts have been

:19:02. > :19:07.announced including the closure of a park, the second-largest of the four

:19:08. > :19:15.zones used in the Olympics the down workforce will also be downsized.

:19:16. > :19:19.Issues such as repairs at the athletes village, extra security and

:19:20. > :19:23.the treatment of the green water in the aquatic centre have meant that

:19:24. > :19:28.Paralympics friends have been diverted. Sport Wales has set a

:19:29. > :19:33.target of 20 to 30 medals for Welsh athletes over the next two

:19:34. > :19:36.Paralympics. One of the medal hopes took to Twitter this week asking

:19:37. > :19:42.whether these problems would have occurred had the Paralympics been

:19:43. > :19:46.held before the Olympics. Another Paralympic champion from 2012 told

:19:47. > :19:51.me it is disconcerting, but the cutback shouldn't affect the

:19:52. > :19:54.athletes. It is shameful as far as I am concerned. As an ex-athlete I

:19:55. > :20:01.feel that any athlete representing the country, Olympic or Paralympic

:20:02. > :20:11.should be given the same opportunity. Real jinni real have

:20:12. > :20:15.had enough time now to get it right. Organisers said they wanted to

:20:16. > :20:22.welcome the world to the city, but just 12% of tickets have been sold

:20:23. > :20:25.so far. The Beijing and London Paralympics generated huge interest

:20:26. > :20:29.in disability sport and brought a shifting perceptions. The hope is

:20:30. > :20:30.that that momentum will continue in Rio despite the problems

:20:31. > :20:38.behind-the-scenes. Neil Taylor is expected to make his

:20:39. > :20:41.first start of the new season as Swansea city begin their campaign

:20:42. > :20:47.against League 1 side Peterborough tonight. Leo Britton and Kristoffer

:20:48. > :20:51.Nordvelt who has just signed a new contract is also likely to start the

:20:52. > :20:52.second round match. It is live on BBC radio Wales from 7pm.

:20:53. > :20:55.Gareth Bale's agent has denied reports that the Wales international

:20:59. > :21:01.Media reports in Spain had suggested Bale, who scored twice

:21:02. > :21:03.on the opening weekend of the La Liga season

:21:04. > :21:06.He joined the European Champions for a thenWorld record

:21:07. > :21:17.In rugby it has been confirmed that the Aviva Stadium in Dublin will

:21:18. > :21:26.stage the pro 12 final next May. Volunteers are working to restore

:21:27. > :21:31.parts of the historic Swansea Canal that were covered over and built on

:21:32. > :21:34.more than four decades ago. The local canal society and the canal

:21:35. > :21:38.and River trust in Wales are working to reopen stretches of the waterway

:21:39. > :21:40.with the help of the engineer originally tasked with filling it

:21:41. > :21:48.in. And covering 200 years of history.

:21:49. > :21:53.It might not look like much now but beneath the surface is one of 36

:21:54. > :21:57.blocks which forms the historic canal. In the 1970s this part was

:21:58. > :22:01.covered over with concrete to make way for a council depot. The

:22:02. > :22:05.engineer responsible for managing the work more than 40 years ago has

:22:06. > :22:08.returned to find the lock has survived.

:22:09. > :22:13.When we did it I always wondered if it was going to be dug up, but I

:22:14. > :22:21.never thought that would happen. I'm so pleased to see the canal society

:22:22. > :22:24.doing it. Hopefully, any few years' time it

:22:25. > :22:29.will be back to its former glory? Absolutely.

:22:30. > :22:33.It is going to take some time but having bought the land Swansea Canal

:22:34. > :22:37.Society are working hard to bring Lock seven back to life.

:22:38. > :22:41.When it was built in 1788 the canal was used to transport coal from the

:22:42. > :22:45.upper Swansea Valley to the world-famous copper works on the

:22:46. > :22:48.banks of the river Tawe. As the industry closed down much of the

:22:49. > :22:53.canal was covered over. Part of it fell into disrepair. Over

:22:54. > :22:58.the past 50 years much of this waterway has been filled in. Only

:22:59. > :23:02.six out of 16 miles of it has been accessible, over the past three

:23:03. > :23:06.years more than 25,000 hours have been clocked up by volunteers as

:23:07. > :23:10.they try to restore it to its former glory.

:23:11. > :23:13.Restoration work has ranged from clearing away the overgrown trees

:23:14. > :23:18.and hedges to rebuilding the old canal walls.

:23:19. > :23:22.They are using local stone. The locks we were gone we use the same

:23:23. > :23:25.techniques that were used 200 years ago. We use a light mortar mix which

:23:26. > :23:32.is more forgiving than cement which would crack. We don't want to damage

:23:33. > :23:35.the old bridges and locks. It is absolutely fantastic that we still

:23:36. > :23:38.use the same techniques from 200 years ago.

:23:39. > :23:43.We work closely with a heritage advisor to ensure that all volunteer

:23:44. > :23:46.works are adhered to. We have the waterway recovery group, that is

:23:47. > :23:50.healthier for the last three years and we've had people from all over

:23:51. > :23:54.the world come and join us working on the lock. We've had people from

:23:55. > :23:59.Italy, America, and they are keen to learn about the area.

:24:00. > :24:03.The tranquillity of life on the canal is a far cry from the

:24:04. > :24:07.industrious rooted once was. With big plans to redevelop much of this

:24:08. > :24:10.waterway in the future the Swansea Canal Society hopes it can write a

:24:11. > :24:12.new chapter in its long and important history. Ben Price in

:24:13. > :24:13.Swansea. Well it's been a beautifully sunny

:24:14. > :24:16.day today, is the hot weather going to last,

:24:17. > :24:24.Derek? Not all week. It is a short burst of

:24:25. > :24:30.heat. It won't stay dry all week either. But today has felt like

:24:31. > :24:32.summer again. A lovely day for working on the farm.

:24:33. > :24:34.The sunshine hazy at times with wispy high level cirrus clouds.

:24:35. > :24:37.Temperature wise, Cardiff soared to a humid 28C this afternoon.

:24:38. > :24:42.The highest temperature recorded in Wales so far this month.

:24:43. > :24:45.Parts of the coast cooler, 20C in Aberdaron.

:24:46. > :24:48.So fine and warm for most of us this evening.

:24:49. > :24:52.That cloud will spread across more of the country overnight.

:24:53. > :24:57.A bit misty in places and a mild night.

:24:58. > :25:09.There will be more cloud around but dry.

:25:10. > :25:13.Bright in parts of the south and west with some sunshine.

:25:14. > :25:18.So a mix of cloud and sunshine tomorrow.

:25:19. > :25:21.Generally dry but the odd shower is possible in the afternoon.

:25:22. > :25:27.Temperatures not as high as today but still on the warm side.

:25:28. > :25:31.Fresher in the north and west especially on the coast.

:25:32. > :25:38.Cloudier and not as warm as today but dry.

:25:39. > :25:45.On the North Coast tomorrow dry with sunny spells .

:25:46. > :25:52.Tomorrow evening there is a risk of some rain in the south east.

:25:53. > :25:58.Elsewhere dry apart from the odd shower.

:25:59. > :26:01.On Thursday greater risk of some rain and showers.

:26:02. > :26:05.Heavy and thundery in places but some dry weather as well.

:26:06. > :26:07.And in the west it should brighten-up during the afternoon.

:26:08. > :26:13.Dry with a mix of cloud and sunny spells.

:26:14. > :26:16.Feel pleasantly warm with a light to moderate breeze.

:26:17. > :26:18.Will it stay dry over the bank holiday weekend?

:26:19. > :26:22.High pressure will be in charge on Friday but a front will move

:26:23. > :26:28.And then on Sunday it looks like low pressure will be over us.

:26:29. > :26:30.That means some rain and heavy showers over

:26:31. > :26:38.the weekend but some dry, brighter spells in the mix as well.

:26:39. > :26:39.And a reminder of today's top stories.

:26:40. > :26:42.Welsh athletes were among those who landed at Heathrow today

:26:43. > :26:44.in a specially chartered plane from the Rio Olympics.

:26:45. > :26:47.It's been a record breaking games, with ten medals for Welsh athletes,

:26:48. > :27:04.There is a warning to make that older people in Wales could suffer

:27:05. > :27:08.unless more money is invested in training care staff and making sure

:27:09. > :27:11.they are well paid. Speaking on this programme the older people's

:27:12. > :27:15.commissioner said there needs to be a change in the wake areas provided

:27:16. > :27:22.for people in residential homes and in their own homes. Wherever you

:27:23. > :27:28.find great here you find great people. We need to pay them

:27:29. > :27:32.appropriately give them opportunities for training and

:27:33. > :27:37.career advancement. Those will come with a cast. I'm clear that it is a

:27:38. > :27:38.cost not only worth paying but we have to pay if people aren't going

:27:39. > :27:42.have to pay if people aren't going to suffer in Wales.

:27:43. > :27:45.And that's Wales Today, we'll be back with all the latest
