The ability to book a hospital appointment, organise transport | :00:17. | :00:19. | |

Questions over next years gay Pride event in Cardiff. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
The actor Sir Ian McKellan voices his concern. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
It is a bit alarming, I hope it doesn't mean there | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
is a serious change of attitude from the elected officials. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
It's been four years since a Welsh winner of the Pro12. | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Tonight, a former international says a major overhaul is needed | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Some have fled the horrors of war or the threat of violence in search | :01:01. | :01:21. | |
But when they arrive in Wales, is enough being done to ensure | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
refugees and asylum seekers can integrate into communities and get | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Oxfam Cymru is calling on the National Assembly to review | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
the support currently on offer, claiming many refugees find | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
The Welsh Government says it's working to ensure Wales | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
plays its full part in responding to the current refugee crisis. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
The Oasis Centre in Cardiff is a place where refugees and those | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
seeking asylum can meet, socialise and learn. | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
Many here have learned to their cost it can be difficult to access | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
This man who is fearful of being identified says | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
without the right paperwork accessing a doctor is not easy. | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
It is because of these problems that the Oasis Centre | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
and Oxfam Cymru have written to the National Assembly's Equality, | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
Local Government and Commnities Committee to investigate. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
The ability to make hospital appointments, organise transport, | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
find language lessons, can be quite difficult. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
We are asking Assembly Members to have a review of those services, | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
how they work, how they are working for refugees and asylum seekers, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
so they can get on with their life in Wales and have a sustainable | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
An asylum seeker is someone who has fled their homeland. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
They make themselves known to authorities and submit | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
That is what happened to this man from Ethiopia. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
I didn't go back to Ethiopia because so many of my people | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
A refugee is someone who has proven to the authority they would be | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
This 20-year-old arrived in Cardiff from Syria a month ago. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
I want to spend my life living here and I want to study English | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
English lessons are vital to refugees to progress in society | :03:24. | :03:38. | |
and that is something they offer at the Oasis Centre. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
For this man from Cameroon, language was never a barrier. | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
He is a published author and has written about his experience | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
and those of others trying to rebuild a life in Wales. | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
As a refugee, you have a recognised status, and doors are open to you. | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
As an asylum seeker it is a different ball game. | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
You have to rely on support from strangers. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
He recognises he is one of the lucky ones and believes | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
I was kicked out of my village, human trafficked into Russia. | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
I came to live in a housing association. | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
For me, Wales has provided a perfect canopy, a perfect umbrella | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
The Welsh Government says it is working hard to make sure | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Wales is playing its full part in responding to the current refugee | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
crisis, coordinating housing, health, education | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
The Labour MP for Islwyn Chris Evans has said there's | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
a deep wedge in his party with little sign it can | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
be reunited after the leadership election. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
Mr Evans, who supports Pontypridd MP Owen Smith | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
in the two-horse leadership race, says he's more concerned | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
than ever about the future of the Labour Party. | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
The saddest thing about the last year has been as a long-standing | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
party member that party members are attacking each other | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
We are all members of the Labour Party, | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
That will not come about if we are fighting each other. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
A conservation charity has strongly criticised the National Trust | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
for allowing a renewable energy project to be built on their land. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
The director of the Snowdonia Society says | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
the Conwy Falls would "become the Cowny | :05:35. | :05:35. | |
trickle" if a dam was built by RWE Innogy on the Conwy River. | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
The National Trust says the scheme would continue | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
without its involvement, but it's influenced the design | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
During construction, a Brown sign of visitor attraction will be turned | :05:43. | :05:58. | |
into a building site and during operation the river itself will be | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
seriously diminished with up to 60% of the water taken out, out of a | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
significant section of the river. The wife of a man rescued | :06:08. | :06:08. | |
after an empty speedboat was spotted circling in Aberystwyth Harbour has | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
said they're utterly heartboken after his best friend | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
died in the incident. Amanda Jones says her husband, Alan, | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
and his friend named locally as Bill Davies, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
were thrown overboard after Mr Davies became unwell | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
on Wednesday morning. One of the world's most famous | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
actors and gay rights campaigners, Sir Ian McKellen, has said he's | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
alarmed by the uncertainty surrounding next year's | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Pride event in Cardiff. The council has said there could be | :06:33. | :06:33. | |
challenges over holding it in Coopers Field as it's being used | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
as a Champions League final fanzone next summer, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
but stressed it has not The first British gay pride rally | :06:40. | :06:57. | |
was held in London in 1972. Rallies have been held in the Welsh capital | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
since the 1980s and by the turn of the millennium Cardiff saw its first | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
Mardi Gras. Every year since then thousands of | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people from Wales have | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
celebrated their culture in a colourful annual. Festival Cardiff | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Pride 2016 was the biggest to date with 12,000 people attending. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Organisers have been told next year's event may be in doubt. | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
Plaid Cymru say they haven't been told anything officially but they | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
have heard unofficially their main venue in Cardiff will be unavailable | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
in August. Because on the 3rd of June there will be a fan zone for | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
all the football fans who failed to get a ticket to the Champions League | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
final being played over the road. They have heard the field will be | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
rested and re-turfed once the fans and is cleared away. With the most | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
recent figures suggesting 20% of LGBT people in Wales have exposed to | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
homophobic hate crime, organisers say the event is important in | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
changing attitudes. The uncertainty is alarming | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
according to one of our best-known actors currently performing in the | :08:13. | :08:13. | |
capital. is a serious change of attitude | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
from the elected officials. And the people they employ to | :08:16. | :08:26. | |
service the town, the city. And I hope there is a change of heart and | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
the practicality and goodwill will rain. | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
Cardiff Council says it has always supported Plaid Cymru and isn't | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
looking to move the event from the field but it says there will be some | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
flexibility with event dates next year. | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
It is having an enormous impact on our sponsors. | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
To say, 2017, this is the theme, and we can't do that at the moment. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Our sponsors are being cautious because if the event doesn't go | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
They are due to meet with Cardiff Council this month when they hope to | :08:58. | :09:08. | |
draw a line under the uncertainty and look ahead to next year's | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
celebrations. Parents and governors who've | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
campaigned to keep two high schools in Powys from closing | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
are celebrating tonight - as it appears a U-turn | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
could be on the cards. The council has planned on shutting | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Gwernyfed and Brecon schools But a new report says both | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
sites should stay open. It also says the council should look | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
again at the future of other They said closing their | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
school was a bad idea. The council said having a smaller | :09:30. | :09:41. | |
number of large schools would lead to a better education, | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
a wider range of subjects available But now it seems there | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
could be a change of heart. The original plan was for Brecon | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
and Gwernyfed High Schools to close, replacing them with one | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
newbuild in Brecon. Builth Wells and Llandrindrod High | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
Schools were set to close. But this report says both Bracken | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
and Gwernyfed should change and improvement should be made | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
to both buildings. Builth and Llandrindod should merge | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
to form one new school operating For those who would have been | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
affected by the original The council have listened | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
and that is a brave decision. They have their budget | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
responsibilities, But we are looking for something | :10:36. | :10:36. | |
sustainable here financially If a council looks to close | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
a school, it has to be sure that taking that step will lead to wider | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
improvements in education When Powys County Council put | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
forward its controversial proposals to close schools here, | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
it employed an independent body That independent body found over | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
1000 people objected, as did the schools watchdog, | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
it said closing schools here is unlikely to improve | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
education in the area. It is in contrast to what is going | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
on in some other parts of Wales, like the so-called super | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
school in Port Tolbert. Three secondary schools and one | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
primary school closed to allow this Council leaders in Powys | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
will formally vote later this month on new proposals | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
with fewer closures. For rural schools here | :11:20. | :11:20. | |
who thought their time was up, Tributes have been paid | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
to Rowena Kinkaid, the cancer campaigner, | :11:24. | :11:39. | |
our friend and colleague Rowena became well known | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
for her frank and honest documentary about living | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
with a terminal illness, and raised thousands of pounds | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
for cancer research. My name is Rowena, I am young, full | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
of ambition and I have a zest for life. Even though I don't look it, I | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
am terminally ill. Three years ago, Rowena Kincaid was | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
told her cancer was terminal and was given up to six months to live. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Unsurprisingly to those who knew her she defied the doctors and became | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
determined to raise awareness of living with a terminal illness. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
I want to find people in the same boat as me to see if they can offer | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
sensible suggestion as to what I should be doing in that time I have | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
left. Her documentary saw Rowena come to | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
terms with her diagnosis and support others in similar situations. | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
It has been my worst nightmare. And here it is. Living through the | :12:38. | :12:45. | |
worst. Her campaign to raise awareness went | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
nationwide and her fund raising for cancer charities totalled thousands | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
of pounds. Hello, good morning. A very cloudy | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Good Friday. We do have some rain in the forecast. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
After 13 years of working as a picture editor here, she became a | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
weather presenter, fulfilling one of her many ambitions. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Rowena will be remembered for her determination and her fighting | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
spirit. And, for us at BBC Wales, as a great colleague, and our friend. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |

The long rugby season kicks off tonight with | :13:40. | :13:50. | |
It'll culminate with the Lions' tour of New Zealand next June. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
On the eve of the campaign, there are calls for | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
a shake-up of the way the game is run here. | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
The four Welsh rugby regions in the Pro12 are suffering | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
because they have to do without their big name players | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
so often because of too many international games. | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
That's the warning tonight from the former Wales and Lions | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
On the eve of the opening weekend of matches, he's calling for world | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
rugby's calendar to be re-organised to help benefit the regions. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
A new season and the message from the organisers is positive, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
the league more attractive with more tries last season than ever. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
-- Do followers of the Welsh regions they have much | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
Four years have passed since the Ospreys were the last | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
The highest any Welsh side got last season, fifth, | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
the Scarlets finished above the Blues, Dragons and Ospreys | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
Too often, players emerged on to the field to a sea of empty | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
One former international says it is a challenge to sell the league | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
when its star names play so few games for the regions. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Respectively England and France have a larger pool of players, | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
so consistently week in and week out they get the top boys playing, | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
generating interest from the crowd where they are getting 15,000 coming | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
through the turnstiles which gives you as a player that hype and buzz. | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
If you're playing in front of 3,000 in an empty stadium, | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
The Welsh Rugby Union has worked hard to stop the tide of Welsh | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
Centre Jonathan Davies has returned from Clermont to join | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
Scarlets, Bradley Davies is in Wales with the Ospreys. | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Some say the regions aren't benefiting enough. | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
The major problem is the cannibalisation of the season | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
It doesn't happen in the southern hemisphere. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
The ideal solution would be to move the Six Nations forward | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
That means the regions get to keep their players for the Pro12 | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
And post that period, you have Six Nations, | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
and they stay together as a bloc, the Welsh squad, and go on a summer | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
tour which is what happens in the southern hemisphere. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Changing the world rugby calendar has long been talked about. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
The head of the Pro12 says both club and country need to consider | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Slightly reduce the international calendar, increase quality, | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
slightly reduce the club calendar, increase the quality. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Players play slightly less often, their intensity will be higher. | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
Play them in meaningful games and fans will watch. | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
For some, the season won't finish until the first week of July | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
when the Lions face the All Blacks in their final Test match. | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
As the campaign gets under way, concerns of a player burn-out | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
The former Cardiff Blues, Wales and Lions back-row | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Martyn Williams is at tonight's game between Ospreys | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
Good evening, it has taken four years for a Welsh winner in the | :16:56. | :17:10. | |
Pro12. Will it change this time round? | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
I am optimistic this season, when you look at the ospreys, Scots and | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
blues, they have strengthened squads. Disappointing last season. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Only three teams getting into the top competition in Europe. There is | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
hopeful optimism throughout Wales. There is no World Cup which disrupts | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
our Welsh regions. The big players are there from the start. All three | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
can push to even when the league this year. | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
What needs to happen to ensure we see more of big names playing | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
It is difficult. You have this problem in France and England. Not | :17:44. | :17:57. | |
so much can our top players play, they will, probably a dozen games. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
It is growing their strength and depth so when those players are | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
away, the regions are still competitive which at the moment they | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
are struggling. They showed that last year. Slowly and surely there | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
is more depth. Listening to that piece, a few less international | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
matches would help. That is why the cash cow is to fund the regions. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Many elite players have been rested but it's | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
Still a good looking squad. A perfect opening game, conditions | :18:28. | :18:40. | |
will be as good as you can have, the pitch is perfect. Expect some | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
rustiness in the first game. You can expect them to win Dibley this | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
evening. -- win comfortably. That's on Scrum V Live, | :18:47. | :18:55. | |

that they could qualify for a World Cup and the success | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
in France though can It's a group I feel we can attack, | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
it is something we can take take confidence from, | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
from the summer. The lads are buzzing to get | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
together and looking Probably the first time | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
we are going into a group stage with this confidence, | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
on the back of the last tournament. Wales under-21s were aiming | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
to close the gap on group leaders Denmark | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
tonight in a European The Welsh side went | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
into the match four points behind the visitors | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
but it's not good news from the Racecourse Ground | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
in Wrexham, Wales are 4-0 down On Monday, all the build-up for | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
Wales versus Moldova. Now, it's 120 years old and still | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
pulls in the crowds. The Snowdon Mountain Railway | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
is the only one of its kind in the UK, taking its first | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
passengers to the roof Well, today they've been | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
marking the anniversary and Next stop, Snowden, another | :20:03. | :20:16. | |
generation enjoying a trip up our highest mountain. | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
The easy way. Return fare, ten bob. There are always more customers than | :20:22. | :20:23. | |
seats. These days, the fair is quite a bit | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
more than 50p and the number of passengers has ballooned over the | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
years up to 140,000. Much else remains unchanged, the | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
views on the way up past tumbling waterfalls before the high open | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
mountainside. The train sweeps past the walkers | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
tackling the climb rather than taking and paying for the ride. And | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
the train passengers that keep on coming, today, Michael and Mary | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Heathfield from the south of England have bought their granddaughters. | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
It is amazing seeing the countryside, we are so high, it is | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
amazing. I really like going out into the | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
high hills and seeing the little Valleys below. | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
We have been on lots of mountain railways all over Europe. But this | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
is just special. The mountains all around you are so vast. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Unlike the other little trays of Wales, this mountain railway was | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
built for the purpose it is used for now, tourism. The tracks were laid | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
in a year, although disaster hit the very first service, a passenger fell | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
out of the carriage and died. Just after the First World War and | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
attempt was made to take a car up the tracks, replacing tyres with | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
train wheels. This weekend, all that history is | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
remembered. Even back then, people were becoming | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
more adventurous. They had more leisure time, they wanted more | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
extreme adventures. At the time, they could only walk to the summit. | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
Or take a donkey. That brought the decision, let us build a railway to | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
take many more people who couldn't walk to the top. | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
There is an enduring appeal, the anticipation of reaching the summit. | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
When we get here, it is windy, it is cloudy, and there is no view at all. | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
It isn't always like this. Then the clouds part just briefly to reveal | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
what must be one of the best views in Wales. A view hardly altered | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
since that first train journey 120 years ago. | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
Derek will have the latest weather forecast in just a moment. | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
September might be here but no signs of a cold | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
scientists at Bangor University are carrying out research into how | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
to make sheep more comfortable in extreme weather | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
The life-size models are being used to measure how much shelter | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
So lifelike in their design, the e-sheep are even | :22:51. | :23:02. | |
confusing their flesh and blood counterparts. | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
And, though this first meeting didn't go well, | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
it's hoped they'll provide data which could make their | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
doppelgangers' lives much more comfortable. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
A cold snap a couple of years ago killed around 30,000 sheep. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
And represents huge losses not just in terms of sheep | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Energy that sheep are using to keep warm just isn't going | :23:21. | :23:29. | |
Bangor University along with the Woodland Trust | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
and the Knowledge Economy Skills Scholarship are finding out how hot | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
or cold these electric sheep get in all weathers and all | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
The results could have a direct effect on a farm's | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
We want to be able to talk to farmers about how | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
they might design their farms with weather in mind. | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
Design tree-planting to offer shelter to the animals | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
from the sun and wind, to improve the efficiency | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
of their farming, to negate some of those energy losses and turn that | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
into healthier animals that grow quicker. | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
The e-sheep might not look high-tech but inside they are | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
crammed full of electronic equipment like this which acts | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
as a mobile weather station, heating elements, and a thermometer. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
While their input isn't always as dignified as it could be - | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
the e-sheep will help animals on farms around the world. | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
Farmers will be able to work out the best places to buld shelter | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
With a Google map, let us say, he can look at his farm, | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
and he can click and control the actual barrier on the map. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
Until now, shearing has been the main way to keep sheep cool | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
but this hi-tech field study is the future. | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Let us hope there were no extreme conditions on the way for us or the | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
sheep. Trouble is brewing over the | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
Atlantique and the sheep will need shelter tomorrow. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
A weekend of another two halves, dried tomorrow followed by heavy | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
rain and strong winds. Sunday is the better day with sunshine. | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
It brightens up quite nicely in Conwy this afternoon with blue sky. | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
After a damp morning, the sun eventually came out this afternoon. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Fine and brightness is running, dry overnight bar the odd light shower. | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
Clear spells, lowest temperatures, 11th Celsius. | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
With a south-westerly breeze. Tomorrow, the remains of the | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
hurricane will be near the Azores, it won't affect us but these | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
Atlantique France will. Tomorrow morning, not a bad start, | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
most of the country is dry for a while, bright in the north and east | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
with hazy sunshine. But rain and freshening winds will reach | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
Pembrokeshire. That rain will spread across the rest of the country | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
during the morning. A wet spell tomorrow, heavy rain, 30 millimetres | :26:04. | :26:10. | |
in the south and west, the wind becoming strong on the coast. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
In the afternoon, the rain will ease. | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
Further rain likely in the south. Tomorrow evening, the rain in the | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
south will clear. Windy overnight, blustery showers in North Wales. | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
Sunday, a better day, improving as time goes on. Breezy with a few | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
showers, heavy in the north. These will clear. Some sunshine on a | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
Sunday afternoon. The wind easing down. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Festival number six is in full swing here. | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
Strong winds in the afternoon. Sunday, much brighter with lighter | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
winds. The weather going downhill tomorrow | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
but not a right of this weekend. Next week, some will return, the jet | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
stream will move north. High pressure will take charge with | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
warmer south-easterly winds. Temperatures rising into the | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
mid-20s. Funny how the weather is often improves after the school | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
holidays come to an end it? Always the way! | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
The main headline. Oxfam country is calling on the national Assembly to | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
look at its support for asylum seekers and refugees in Wales, | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
saying many find themselves living in poverty. The Welsh Government | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
says it is working to ensure Wales says its full part in responding to | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
the refugee crisis. We will be back with an update at | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
8pm. Have a good evening, goodbye. | :27:46. | :27:47. |
