Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories - | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The First Minister is heading to the US to - as he says - | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
But how easy is that in the aftermath of Brexit? | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
I think there is a lot of concern from American businesses about the | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
role that Wales and the wider UK will play. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
The pedigree dogs worth ?1,000 each - and the puppy thieves | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
So far - it looks like a bumper tourist season. | :00:27. | :00:39. | |
And 25 years ago Ely in Cardiff erupted into days of riots - | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
it all started over a row over the sale of bread. | :00:48. | :01:06. | |
Wales needs to be sold to the world "like never before" according | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
New figures suggest the number of jobs created by foreign companies | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
But Mr Jones says that performance could be under threat - | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
if Brexit negotiations result in the UK losing the ability | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
to trade freely with the rest of the EU in the single market. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Here's our political editor Nick Servini. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
You can argue that Wales' profile around the world | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
has never been higher, after the success of our footballers | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
in the European Championships this summer, but can that be | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
capitalised on when the whistle is set to be blown on the UK's | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
New figures show that in the year from April 2015, | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
nearly 5,500 jobs were created in 97 investment projects. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
That is a rise of 7% on the previous year. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
The figures don't reflect the referendum result but it appears | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
that they weren't affected by the general uncertainty | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
surrounding the build-up to the vote. | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Big names like Aston Martin have recently announced plans | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Carwyn Jones believes that trend could be under threat if the UK | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
You have to say to people what you believe is absolutely | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
fundamental and for me, it is absolutely fundamental | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
that we have access to the single market. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Anything beyond that, to me, that is negotiable, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
but I cannot see how we can continue to attract investment in the levels | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
we have done if we are outside a market ten | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
We now know that Carwyn James will define his approach to Brexit | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
negotiations around the need for the UK to form part | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
In other words, for there to be free movement of goods and services. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
The problem is though that that may only be achievable if there is | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
And it is likely that that would be unacceptable for many | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
After criticism from opposition parties that he had been slow | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
to act, the focus now is selling Wales abroad. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
First up, Chicago, as part of a series of trade visits | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
by the First Minister to the US next week. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
But there will be challenges, including the fact that he cannot | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
tell the Americans exactly what kind of relationship we | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
There is probably more concern than confusion about | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
the attractiveness of the UK because historically, | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
we have seen the UK and Wales, as part of that, as a fantastic | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
launchpad and now, we are maybe not so sure what the advantages | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
would be and should we go straight into the EU market, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
or should we test and refine what we do in Wales before | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
The terms of that future relationship will be | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
under discussion tomorrow when the Prime Minister Theresa May | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
chairs her first Cabinet since the summer break. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Around the table will be the Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
who struck an upbeat tone today on the latest economic data. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
We have heard figures of doom and gloom all along but we need | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
People said the inward investment figures this year would be down | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
because of the uncertainty of the referendum. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
We need to work positively and constructively with businesses. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
It is not just inward investment, there have also been some strong | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The big job for all now is to try to ensure they continue. | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
Nick, we also learnt how the Welsh Government | :04:51. | :04:51. | |
Carwyn Jones has been under some pressure to appoint specialist | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
Brexit minister like we have seen in Scotland. He did that, I suppose, | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
you could say this morning, when he appointed himself, saying in effect | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
the job was too big to give to anyone else. There will be a | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
specialist unit of senior civil servants involved, trying to work | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
out the obligations of the Brexit for the Welsh government but | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
largely, they will be responding, particularly in the early days, the | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
big decisions made at Cabinet level and in this regard, Alun Cairns, the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
Welsh Secretary, is closer to the action in terms of how it will play | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
out. I thought it was striking, the difference in tone between Alun | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
Cairns and Carwyn Jones. Alun Cairns talked about how entrepreneurs | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
thrived on change and the opportunities for businesses. Carwyn | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Jones saying there will be problems down the track if we are not in the | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
single market and how lots of investment decisions have been put | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
on hold. You can argue either way about who is right at this stage but | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
I don't think anyone would argue that both governments need to work | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
together in what is obviously a major task facing senior | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
politicians. Thank you. Now, the rest of the day's news. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
Two men have been sentenced to a total of nearly six years | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
in prison for the violent theft of a pedigree dog from | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Thomas Stokes and his son Martin Stokes from the East Midlands | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
posed as potential buyers before stealing the puppy. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
The pedigree dogs fetch over ?1,000. Jordan Davies has the story. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
He was prepared to steal people's prize animals, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Thomas Stokes on the left and his son Martin Stokes posed | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
Seen here outside court, they contacted Liz Swain, | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
a pedigree breeder from Abergavenny, and travelled to her home. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Reports hear the men wanted to take three of the puppies to their car | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Liz Swain became suspicious and tried to prevent the men | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
Thomas Stokes then punched Liz Swain and they made off with one | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
Liz Swain was left with serious injuries. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
She also fell trying to chase the men. | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
The courts heard the attack has destroyed her confidence. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
Thomas Stokes was after these prize pugs worth around ?1,200 each. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Two were later found hiding near Miss Swain's home. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Hilary Linnett breeds pugs and German Shepherds | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
She says security for private sellers is becoming | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
She checks people are who they say they are before allowing | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
A lot of people don't get past a phone call. | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
If they are enquiring about a puppy, if I don't... | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
I know this sounds a bit contrary but if I don't like the sound | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
like the sound of them, or they don't meet my very, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
very specific criteria that I have for whoever wants a puppy from me, | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
if they don't fit that, a lot of people don't | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
The court heard the men had about 50 previous convictions between them. | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
The judge said the sentences were aimed at preventing other | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
attacks on people who sell from their home. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Thomas Stokes admitted theft and assault and was sentenced | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Martin Stokes admitted conspiracy to pervert the course | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
of justice and was sentenced to ten months in prison. | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
Staff at a North Wales coach firm - which collapsed last month - | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
have contacted lawyers about a possible group | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
More than 300 people were made redundant when Wrexham-based GHA | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Now 48 staff are considering legal action, for failing to consult | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
A man has been banned from driving for 56 days after being caught doing | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
a 129 miles per hour on the A55 in Anglesey. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Magistrates were told Habib Malik, from Birmingham, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
was worried he'd miss a ferry from Holyhead to Ireland. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
The takeaway owner was also fined ?150. | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
More than 800 people were arrested in Wales over the last three years - | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
suspected of illegally entering the UK. | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Figures obtained by the BBC from three of the Welsh forces, | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
show South Wales Police had the most arrests at 572. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Gwent saw the biggest rise, up by 73%, to 184. | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
August Bank Holiday has passed and it is about that time | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
that the tourist industry starts to assess just how good - or bad - | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
Officially there are no figures yet, but according to Visit Wales - | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
the tourism arm of the Welsh Government - | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
initial reports suggest summer 2016 has been a bumper year. | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
Roger Pinney is at one of Colwyn Bay's main | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
attractions - the Welsh Mountain Zoo. | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Meet Genghis, the camel. We have had a mostly glorious day here with | :10:09. | :10:22. | |
bright sunshine and warm temperatures, but it has been a | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
pretty mixed summer weather-wise. Not that it seems to have bothered | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
the many tourist operators. There is a very confident feel about this | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
year. Let's get the latest on the roads with Dave Brooks. Still | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
looking pretty slow on the a 55 heading east anywhere from Colwyn | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
bay through to the same Asaph area. Seems to be a lot of holiday traffic | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
heading home. With so much going on, it was hardly surprising the roads | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
were busy. A sunny Bank Holiday Monday, what more could the Welsh | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
tourist trade hope for? This is my idea of camping. I don't do crawling | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
into a tent across a muddy fields. So we have a nice, big king-size | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
bed, super king-size bed actually and everything you would expect to | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
find in a hotel suite. It is an industry leading to cater for | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
different tastes. This safari tent encampment isn't in Africa but in | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
the grounds of a country house near Denbigh. Glamorous camping is the | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
new big thing, apparently. This site took the plunge 18 years ago. You | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
are charging lots of people to stay in a tent? Yes, but look at the | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
tent! We have the zip wire, Snowdonia, everyone is looking for | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
something different and they have the money. They have low mortgage | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
rates and good jobs and they have the money and they want something | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
different and they are working very hard and they only have a couple of | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
days and they are happy to pay for something that is a really good | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
facility and they expect a 5-star standard which is what we give them. | :12:06. | :12:13. | |
The latest visit Wales advert shows Wales to be the place for surf lakes | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
and zip wires as well as cattle and mountains. There is still the place | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
for the old-fashioned seaside holiday break and many we spoke to | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
in Colwyn Bay today are day-trippers. We are coming for a | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
nice, sandy beach not too far away. Also ideal for grandchildren. We | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
love coming to Wales. We love the beach for the children, walking, the | :12:38. | :12:46. | |
castles and of course, funfairs intended no so quite a variety of | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
things Wales offers. The Welsh tourist industry is changing, | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
adapting, to chase the market. You can do all the adventure stuff but | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
also have a traditional beach bucket and spade holiday as well. They even | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
offer free wi-fi here. Is it evolving quickly enough? Some | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
statistics suggest the English holiday industry is performing | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
better than the Welsh. Looking at the whole package of figures, you | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
will find tourism in Wales has grown significantly outperformed the rest | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
of the UK in many respects in recent years. No doubt, the UK should and | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
possibly will catch up to some extent but we are continuing to | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
punch well above our weight. It will be some months before the adding up | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
is down and an accurate picture of how Wales summer 2016 has gone | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
images. In the industry, they are already thinking ahead to the next | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
tourist season. With me now is Mick Jackson, director of the Welsh | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
mountain soon. We talk about the summer season is that the industry | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
packs up and goes to bed in September but it isn't like that any | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
more? Not at all, we are open 364 days a year. It is all about | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
bringing people in all year round, it is very weather dependent in our | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
case. It has been a mixed summer weather-wise. It certainly has, we | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
had a disastrous Easter. The weather was bad. A few wash-out days since | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
but what has been remarkable this year has been in between, when the | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
sun has come out, we have been packed, heaving with visitors. We | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
are a little behind last year but one really good bumper day and we | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
will be up to last year's figures. So we are very pleased. Looking at | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
what is happening in the industry as a whole, lots of changes, lots of | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
adventure holidays and lots of all year round all weather attractions | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
as well, is that the future? Definitely and part of our | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
development programme as we look ahead here. We are looking to | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
increase the number of undercover attractions that we have. Being | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
fully aware that is the way to bring people in all weathers. It is the | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
way a lot of attractions are going certainly in north Wales in the | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
tourism trade. When you plan what you do here, are you planning next | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
year already? We are. Over the years in the past, as we have developed, | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
we have been a little hand to mouth. We are now able to plan a little | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
further ahead in the future. We looking a few years ahead. Thank | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
you. It is an all year round industry now. We will say goodbye to | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Genghis and his partner and their baby camel are inside. | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
Thank you, it is a while since we have had a camel on the programme. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
25 years ago Ely in Cardiff erupted in riots. | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
It all started over a row the sale of bread. | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
And most of Wales turned out warm and sunny today. | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
But what's in store for the start of September, | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
I'll have the forecast in about ten minutes' time. | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
We're all getting richer - but we're also working harder - | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
at least that's according to research by Barclays Wealth - | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
but Wales is still only two places from the bottom of the bank's 12 | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
The research also suggests that Cardiff is one of the fastest | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
growing cities, in terms of the turnover from small | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
Earlier I spoke to Professor of Entrepreneurship, | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Dylan Jones Evans, for his take on the figures. | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
We have a thriving indigenous business population, | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
not only those who are growing quickly but more importantly, | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
many more companies setting up in all parts of Wales. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
So, yes, this, I think, reflects what is actually | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
happening on the ground, not obviously through different | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
parts of Wales but through the whole of Wales entirely. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
The big concern is perhaps there are two Welsh colonies, | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
there is Cardiff which is doing rather well, thank you very much, | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
small businesses flourishing in Cardiff, 12% up. | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
People watching in Holyhead and Haverfordwest would suggest | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
to you that perhaps it isn't as strong there. | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
No and you are absolutely right and you can see now, | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
Cardiff is growing in some areas at the same rate as London | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
and that is to be obviously encouraged and applauded, | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
We have seen for example the Swansea Bay city region, | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
there was a strategy developed by Sir Terry Matthews and his team | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
there that now has to be put into place to ensure that | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Swansea Bay and the west of Wales really benefits. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
And of course, I am here in North Wales today, | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
and we have seen this demand that is really required | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
here for a stronger infrastructure, to enable | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
There are some fantastic new businesses and of course, | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Airbus here in North Wales, but it needs far more support | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
and I think it is about time that rather than talking about putting | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
an economic strategy into place for North Wales, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
one is actually implemented as soon as possible. | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
This may be good or bad news on whether or not | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
you love your job or not - we are all working | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
We are working longer hours but if you are talking | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
about an entrepreneurial economy, as we have seen now, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
a lot of the jobs that have been created are not by... | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
It is great to have 5,000 new jobs by inward investors, | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
but a lot of them are created by people getting | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
off their backsides, setting up their new businesses | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
and actually growing jobs in the economy. | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Those people will work long hours and they will put a lot of effort | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
in but at the end of it, what we will create is a more | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
entrepreneurial, innovative economy that will push Wales over the next | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
few years even further up that league table. | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
The site of the former Whitland Creamery could finally be | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
developed after planning was granted this afternoon for 28 houses. | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
Carmarthenshire Council's planning officers had recommended the plans | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
be rejected - because the land has been reserved to | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
But there was concern locally that the derelict site | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
has become an eyesore. Jennifer Jones reports. | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Established in 1914, Whitland creamery grew to become the largest | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
manufacturing creamery in Britain. But the operation came to an end in | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
1994. The last buildings were demolished nine years later. The | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
site is now derelict. Local people have long complained that the | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
eyesore is detrimental to their town. Carmarthenshire Council says | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
redevelopment is a firm objective. But the land is earmarked for | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
employment and an application to build houses on the site was | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
rejected in January. Planning officers had recommended a new | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
application for 28 houses, also be rejected. But contrary to advise, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
those plans were approved this afternoon. It was just needed to be | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
the right thing for Whitland to develop. There are lots of different | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
ideas thrown about over the last 20 plus years. But I think now, just | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
seeing the fact that no residents have quibbled about it, nobody put | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
up any objection to extract the Nick it at all, I think it shows Whitland | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
is ready for residential there. The planning committee members voted by | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
eight to six to approve Whitland Green Park limited's plans. But they | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
will have to explain the decision to go against their own advice before | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
permission can be formally granted. 25 years ago - a Cardiff | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
community hit the headlines - 175 police officers were called | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
to Ely to quell the disturbances. Unemployment, racism - | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
even the hot weather were all cited Compared to riots in some English | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
cities it was fairly low-key - but according to some who still live | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
on the sprawling estate today, Ely's reputation was tarnished | :20:53. | :20:54. | |
and still hasn't recovered - The four hot summer nights back in | :20:55. | :21:10. | |
1991, some streets in Ely became a battlefield. Riot police pelted | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
bottles, slates and stones and a crowd of up to 500 people. It all | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
began between a shopkeeper and his Wilson wrote neighbour over the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
right to sell bread in their respective shops. It quickly | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
escalated into violence and vandalism. Some of them were up on | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
the roofs and breaking tiles, I think it was more frustration | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
because... I don't really know what was on their mind to be honest, | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
because it was just over a loaf of bread. It just blew out of | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
proportion. A terrible time? It was, they were coming from all over the | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
country. And you were next door? Yes, they were coming in and masses | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
of them from London, different parts of the country. It was a bit crazy. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
25 years on and nothing remains of the shops in the centre of this | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
riot. What does remain according to many in the community is a tarnished | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
reputation that refuses to go away. 20 people were jailed and promises | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
were made to help the estate. We will try to build in more work, that | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
was the biggest mistake made when Ely was constructed. No work was | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
transferred into the area. To match the population that was transferred | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
into the area and that should've been done. It is difficult to find | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
the land to do it now but if we can, we should, even now. Some believe | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
things are no better two and a half decades on. I fear for the young | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
ones growing up around this area and thinking it is OK to have an | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
argument and the next best thing is for gangs and violence, knives and | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
guns and stuff like this and it is getting worse and it will get worse | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
and there is no education. None is going in the school and speaking | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
about the situations in the streets. We had riot police here and the | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
rioters were down there. This couple lived through the riots and they | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
live a charity on the estate and they hope the area will now have a | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
brighter future. This is where the riots took place 25 years ago. You | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
can see, it has been left, only recently but we have worked with the | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
Council and we have finally got plans drawn up for this site. The | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
community spirit is really strong so when we finally get this belt, I | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
think it will be the end, we can finally put it to rest. The rights | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
were blown out of perspective. It was made such a big deal. The site | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
of the old shop in the road has become wasteland, a dumping ground, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
but now it is about to be transformed and many people hope the | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
notoriety the disorder of the town will change for the better. | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
Football - and Cardiff City captain, David Marshall's move | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
The Bluebirds wouldn't confirm the fee - | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
rumoured to be ?5 million - but said the move to | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
the Premier League club was subject to international clearance. | :24:10. | :24:12. | |

A giant model crocodile has been installed | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
on the barrage in Cardiff Bay - as part of celebrations to mark 100 | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
The 12-metre long croc is inspired by the book, The Enormous Crocodile, | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
and was made by the same firm that made the rugby ball featured | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
on Cardiff Castle during last year's World Cup. | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
The big beast of the weather world now. You might be biting my hand off | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
after hearing the forecast today. Today turned out warm and sunny | :25:00. | :25:13. | |
across much of the country. Blue sky in Tonypandy with a high of 24 | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Celsius in Cardiff. It hasn't been sunny everywhere, parts of the north | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
and west in cloud. Little change this evening. Cloud will increase, a | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
couple of showers likely around midnight into the early hours. Some | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
rain in the north and west late in the night. Milder than last night | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
and breezy in the north west machine peninsula. Tomorrow shows a cold | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
front coming through Wales. It will move eastwards during the day | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
followed by fresh air from the Atlantic. This is the story for 8am. | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
A little rain in the marches and Welshpool. The moderate bursts of | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
rain in Gwynedd and Ceredigion. Hopefully brightening up in | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
Pembrokeshire. During the morning, a little rain will spread eastwards | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
and clear and then it will dry and brighten up, sunny spells tomorrow | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
afternoon and most places dry, just a couple of showers. A bit fresher | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
than today. A west south-westerly breeze. Rain first thing on Anglesey | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
that will clear and the sun will come out. On the Gower tomorrow, | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
light rain in the morning and that will clear the sunny spells and a | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
westerly breeze. Thursday is fine and settled but cloud increasing | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
during the afternoon and maybe a few showers in mid and north Wales later | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
on. Freshening winds in the west and north west. Friday will see a spell | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
of rain most places, followed by drier and brighter weather and on | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
Saturday, the low pressure bringing some unsettled, wet and breezy | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
conditions, followed by clear weather and showers. Sunday is dry | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
for awhile but the signs are it won't last. | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
The American technology giant Apple has been ordered to pay billions of | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
pounds in back tax to the Irish government. It is said the Irish | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
government gave Apple illegal tax benefits. Both parties say they will | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
appeal. The First Minister Carwyn Jones says that following the Brexit | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
vote, Wales needs to be sold as a world like never before. He has also | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
called for the UK to continue to have access to the single market. I | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
will have an update for you at eight and again after the BBC News at | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
