Any Brexit deal must secure access to the single market - | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
the warning from the Economy Secretary tonight after Ford cuts | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
Workers there tell us they want clarity over their future. | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
I think the majority of people think it is going in 2018. We will have to | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
see what transpires and hopefully it will be positive news. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
We are live in Rio ahead of the opening ceremony of the Paralympic | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
games. Welsh athletes targeting a medal haul as good if not better | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
than London 2012. Police and friends at experts have | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
been combing every inch of these school playgrounds today. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
Teenager Janet Commins was killed 40 years ago. | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Now Stephen Hough appears in court charged with her rape and murder. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
And the breakthrough by scientists at Swansea University - | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
one of the most deadly cancers could be detected | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
The car industry employs 18,000 people in Wales and it needs | :01:00. | :01:21. | |
a Brexit deal that secures it access to the single market. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
That's the demand from the Economy Secretary tonight | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
following Ford's announcement that it's slashing production | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Ken Skates says he also wants promises from the car-maker | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
about the security of 500 jobs there, which was a condition | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
of the ?15 million of state aid the Welsh Government | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
Workers at the plant are after reassurance too, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
as our Business Correspondent Brian Meechan reports. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Despite assurances from Ford that no one will lose their jobs, there was | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
concern as shifts changed this afternoon. It is all over the place | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
at the minute because nobody knows what is going to happen. The | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
majority of people think it is going in 2018 - 2020. That is the rumours. | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
People have an open mind on it. We will have to wait and see what | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
transpires and hopefully it will be positive news. In a letter to staff | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
seen by this programme, Ford blames lower global demand for the new | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
petrol engine for its decision to almost half its investment at | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Bridgend. It has left some concern that the company isn't committed to | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
the UK. That's not the case, according to this firm, which works | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
closely with Ford. This company near Neath is an engineering company and | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
tool maker that is part of the booming UK automotive industry. It | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
has grown 50% in the last three years and now employs more than 50 | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
people. Bosses yet reject claims that Ford is ready to abandon | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
Bridgend any time soon. I think it is a very competitive sector. It is | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
a sector where we all need to show continual and accelerating | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
innovation so that is not concern me at this moment in time. This is a | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
major investment for the long term coming into South Wales. But the | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
problem for Bridgend is clear. This time last year workers were | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
celebrating the news that it had secured the contract to manufacture | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
250,000 of the new Dragon petrol engines manually, starting in 2018. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
It secured hundreds of jobs but it meant that Bridgend would only be | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
making a third of the engines it does now. A year Ron and it emerges | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
that Ford will produce 125,000 Dragon engines, only half of those | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
previously planned, from 2018. Meanwhile, Ford Bridgend stops | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
producing the 250,000 engines a year it makes for Jaguar Land Rover in | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
2018. Production of the 500,000 engines it makes for Ford models is | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
also expected to come to an end around the same time. The Welsh | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
government argues that uncertainty resulting from Brexit has caused | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
problems for companies. In order to get stability for Ford and four | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
others in the automotive sector and other sectors, what we need from the | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
UK Government is a firm commitment to access to the free-market in | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
order to create stability within the currency markets. It's no good | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
having fluctuations in terms of the value of sterling. We need sterling | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
to be steady in terms of its value. But the value of the pound following | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
the leave vote has benefits for companies as well. The currency | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
fluctuates all the time and from an exporter's point of view it was very | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
good to be able to sell your goods abroad and some of these engines to | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
go abroad to Ford's plans in the Europe and it puts the plant in a | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
very good position. It's clear that Ford Bridgend needs to get back to | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
the drawing board to bring in more business. While Brexit may not be | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
responsible for the decision to scale back production now, how we | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
trade with the world after it will have an impact on the plant's | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
ability to bring in that work. Nick, Ford say Brexit isn't to blame | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
for cutting production. Ken Skates seemed to suggest it | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
might be playing a part. Is the Welsh Government | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
going to blame every bit of bad There has been loads of good | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
economic data since the referendum result but this is the first bad | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
news, the big corporate announcement in Wales from an large company. It | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
was fascinating to see what the political reaction would be and we | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
got it today from Ken Skates. Very difficult to bring Brexit because | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Ford are doing it but nevertheless it highlights the need for Wales and | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
the UK to be part of the single market. In a way, he is making the | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
point and stressing what is the red line for the Welsh government in | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
these Brexit negotiations, to try to put pressure on Theresa May to try | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
to ensure that the UK is part of that single market. Slightly | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
dangerous game, this, and they have got to be careful. Most senior | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
politicians are acutely aware that if there is a way of winding up | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
people to match, it is the danger of blaming every bit of bad news on | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
Brexit. Thank you very much. In just a few hours' time, | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Rio's Maracana Stadium will be awash with noise and colour once again | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
as the Paralympic Opening Athletes from Wales won 16 medals | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
at the London Paralympics and the aim is to at least match | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
that haul this time round. Our reporter Steffan Messenger | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
is in Brazil for us. Welcome back to Brazil. Once again, | :06:36. | :06:51. | |
the eyes of the world will be on this beautiful city as it welcomes | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
Paralympic athletes from over 170 countries. In the stadium behind me | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
they are getting ready for the opening ceremony. Britain are | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
sending 264 competitors and we will be honing in on the 26 who come from | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
Wales. There are some real medal hopes in a range of different sports | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
over the next ten days. We really are in for a treat. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
As the Paralympians arrive, Rio has become a place of heroes. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Athletes who've faced huge challenges in life here to impress | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
with feats of strength, endurance and skill. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
Targeting a medal at his first Paralympics, archer | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
and former steelworker David Phillips from Cwmbran. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
He picked up the sport after a diagnosis of MS forced him | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
Ten years ago I thought I would be wheelchair-bound | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
I didn't realise that sport could make such | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Archery is one of 12 sports to feature Welsh competitors. | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
In the athletics, there are big hopes for javelin thrower | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
Hollie Arnold from Ystrad Mynach, current a world champion. | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
We've a great planning, we've had it all worked out and there | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Meanwhile, four of Great Britain's 12 strong table | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Brecon's Robin Davies is world number one in his classification | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
while his good friend Paul Davies is also hoping for a podium finish. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
He won a bronze at London 2012, as did Sara Head. | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
To have a third of the team is a fantastic achievement in itself. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
We are very proud to represent Wales, to represent everyone, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
Winning a medal at the Paralympics can be life changing. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Just ask one of the biggest stars of London 2012. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Back then Aled Sion Davies claimed a discus gold and a shot put bronze, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
It was my opportunity to show everyone I can be an elite athlete. | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
I took that opportunity with both hands and didn't look back. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
After winning the gold, I was given the opportunity | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
At London 2012, Welsh athletes provided some really | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
There were 16 medallists from Wales as part of Paralympics GB. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Four years on, against a stunning backdrop here in Brazil, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
those responsible for running and promoting disability sport | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
in Wales say they hope to equal that success. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
Our medal ambition over two Paralympic Games cycles, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Rio and Tokyo, is to get between 20 and 30 medals. | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
We have got some particularly talented athletes and some | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
experienced athletes but we have also got some new athletes. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
We have got nine coming onto the Paralympics stage | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
for the first time and it will be interesting to see how they go. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
The hope is that a successful Games will also help to drive interest | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
There are some 750 clubs in operation, up from just | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Proof, if it was needed, that the Paralympics has | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
Disability doesn't always have to be about setting limits. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
A man has appeared in court in Llandudno accused of raping | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
and murdering a teenage schoolgirl 40 years ago. | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
15-year-old Janet Commins from Flint died in January 1976. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Now Stephen Hough is charged with sexually assaulting | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
and killing her as well as more recent sex offences. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Stephen Hough was brought to court today from police custody. | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
He was charged yesterday with committing five offences | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
From 1976, he is accused of murder, rape and a serious sexual offence. | :10:25. | :10:33. | |
In February this year, he is charged with rape | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
The hearing before District Judge Gwyn Jones lasted | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Stephen Hough spoke to confirm his name, | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
As he was remanded in custody, he was asked whether he understood | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
Police and forensic experts have been combing every square inch | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
of the school playground today where the body of pretty 15-year-old | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
The killing of the schoolgirl 40 years ago made headline news | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
and became a major police investigation involving dozens | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
of officers who took thousands of statements. | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
One senior officer appeared on BBC Wales Today in an attempt to speak | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
This girl had been sexually assaulted and she did die... | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
After nearly three weeks, a man was charged and subsequently jailed | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
In a statement, North Wales Police have said Stephen Hough was not | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
charged in their original investigation. | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
He was remanded in custody until tomorrow, when he will appear | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
Three health boards in Wales have been placed under an increased level | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
of scrutiny and control by the Welsh Government over | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
doubts about their ability to tackle their challenges. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Cardiff and the Vale, Abertawe Bro Morgannwg and Hywel Dda | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
health boards now face what is known as "targeted intervention". | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
That's one level lower than special measures. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
An agricultural machinery company says it's closing | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
its North Pembrokeshire base because of the difficulties | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
Up to 20 people work at the Riverlea depot in Crymych. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Owners say staff will be offered posts at their other branch | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
The BBC has announced that funding for S4C will remain at its current | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
level of ?74.5 million a year until 2022. | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
The Welsh language society, Cymdeithas yr Iaith, | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
said although it meant financial security, | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
the freeze meant more real term cuts to come for the channel. | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
Scientists at Swansea University have developed a revolutionary blood | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
test which could detect oesophagael cancer, one of the most deadly | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
forms of the disease, at a far earlier stage. | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
It's hoped the test could be in widespread use within five years, | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
So this is a blood sample and you can see the mutant | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Professor Gareth Jenkins and his Ph.D student Rachel Lawrence | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
have been studying the blood of oesophageal cancer patients | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
and noticed interesting differences with the blood of healthy people. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
They believe they have made a significant breakthrough | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
in Swansea, which means this particular cancer could now be | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
We have been asking the question, do cancer patients, patients | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
with oesophageal cancer, have elevated levels | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
We have shown in a pilot study we have been doing for the last | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
four years that they do, so this offers the promise | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
that we could, in the future, detect an undiagnosed cancer patient | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
at an earlier stage purely from taking a blood sample | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
and measuring the number of these mutated red blood cells. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
And it's that simplicity that is key. | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
Currently the test for this cancer involves an invasive and costly use | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
of an endoscope but simply testing blood instead means the disease can | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Cancer Research Wales believe that has the potential to save lives. | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
Early diagnosis of cancer generally is critical because Wales actually | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
suffers from late diagnosis and is a major reason why Wales | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
suffers poorly in terms of survival rates. | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
A so a blood-based test that can actually detect cancers | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
earlier is very welcome, particularly for something | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
like oesophageal cancer that has poor five-year survival rates. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
The Swansea researchers have likened their technique to a smoke | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
detector that warns of fire as this test warns doctors | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
They hope it could also be developed for other cancers too. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
They now need to conduct a larger validation study | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
but they are confident this simple test could be in widespread | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
For many, it was rugby's worst kept secret. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
Warren Gatland is appointed Lions head coach for the tour | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
And it's been a lovely summer's day across much of Wales | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
A campaign to encourage us to reach out to people with mental health | :15:08. | :15:19. | |
Time to Change Wales wants to get more of us talking about mental | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
illness and break down some of the prejudice that often | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
surrounds it, as Nicola Smith has been finding out. | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
To me, spending time with family and spending time with the kids. | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
This is a television advert about mental illness but Lisa | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
and Liz aren't actors, they are a couple who experienced | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
first-hand how devastating it can be. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Lisa developed pre and postnatal depression with their second child. | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
I would have to be in bed, under the duvet, and that would be | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
I would have complete anxiety and it was nothing I had ever felt | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
before, so the anxiety for me would be a tight chest, | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
panic and it would be more of...I would freeze. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
At those times Lisa turned to her partner Liz | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
She says talking about it saved her life. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
My very worst day, I was able to find a little bit of strength | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
in me to stop myself doing anything to seriously hurt myself. | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
And that subconscious part of me conntacted Liz, | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
who was my support, and I wouldn't have done that if I had not felt | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
supported by her and everyone else throughout the good days. | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
So all those things that everyone did gave that part of me | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
the strength to fight back against everything else. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
She has returned to work full-time at the Principality | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
Someone reaching out to you at work can make all the difference. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
Now she is part of a campaign encouraging us all to reach out | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
We know that one in four people in Wales will experience a mental | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
health problem in any one year but we also know that 25% | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
of the population still feel uncomfortable around people | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
One in four people think you shouldn't be able to hold public | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
office and some people still feel you shouldn't have children | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
The people we talk to every year who come to our services tell us | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
that sometimes the discrimination they experience is worse | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
She lives with depression after being diagnosed with a rare | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
eye condition and says the simplest gesture can make | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
It can be as small as sending a text to someone, a funny | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
It's not difficult and I would stress for anybody who knows anyone | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
with a mental health problem to reach out to them. | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
It's what happened to Anya and Lisa, proof that changing attitudes | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
The body which distributes Lottery money to historic projects | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
is calling for new ways of managing parks in Wales. | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
The Heritage Lottery Fund says we need to avert 'a crisis'. | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
80% of park managers it asked expect budget cuts in the next three years. | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
The green heart of a capital city. Cardiff's Bute Park, home to | :18:31. | :18:45. | |
thousands of species of plant and businesses to. Caffrey 's which help | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
pay for its upkeep. Many parks in Torfaen are well maintained to. This | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Bowls club took over the facility from the council but others have | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
become overgrown. Local people now fundraising to make a difference. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Lots of comments that we have been getting through the fundraising | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
activity is, I have climbed every tree in that part, I played there | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
every Saturday and Sunday, and it has opened up conversations with | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
people about how it used to be and how they would love to see it | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
brought back. We are where we are with budgets. If we can raise the | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
money ourselves to the community working together, that is | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
phenomenal. The Heritage lottery trust report today says 80% of Park | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
managers it asked in Wales anticipate cuts to their budgets of | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
10% or more over the next three years. It says in these financially | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
challenging times, innovative and sustainable models of funding need | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
to be found to maintain these highly valued community spaces. Every time | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
there is an issue, we contact council. They come here and anything | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
we can get to help the park, we will get it. One local group in Swansea | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
was formed last year to make sure their local park stays looking as | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
good as it does today. Regular litter picks, applying for money, | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
putting on community events. We have cleared about 50 black bags out of | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
the park. Swansea council says it maintains its parks to the highest | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
standard but welcomes the support of local groups to make a contribution. | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
The body representing local councils across Wales says authorities will | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
continue to find new ways of ensuring our green spaces are | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
maintained. The message from the Heritage Lottery Fund today, don't | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
take your local park for granted. Let's get the rest of today's | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
sport now with Tomos. Wales coach Warren Gatland will lead | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
the British and Irish Lions for next His role with Wales will be filled | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
by Rob Howley for the season, which will see the national side | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
play four autumn internationals, the Six Nations and a tour | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
of the Pacific Islands. But tonight, Gatland has warned some | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
high profile players will miss out on selection for Wales | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
if they ply their trade The head coach for the 2017 British | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
and Irish Lions tour There was really no need | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
for the big introduction today. Warren Gatland getting the top job | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
was the worst kept secret in sport. But before heading to New Zealand, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
a warning to the Welsh players Some, he said, won't be picked | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
for the national side in future. A couple of big-name players | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
are going to miss out in the autumn, they will not be involved | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
in the squad, and that will be quite dramatic, | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
and perhaps the Six Nations, but everyone has been questioning | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
where we are going with that policy and I can guarantee | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
that is going to happen. The Welsh Rugby Union has worked | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
hard to stop the stem of Welsh Jonathan Davies is one who has | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
returned home recently. Only players who play in Wales | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
will be considered for national selection, with only three wildcard | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
places available to those who play This man will help | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
enforce that rule. With Gatland gone for a time, | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Rob Howley takes temporary charge, as he did four years ago | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
when he guided Wales It's a great opportunity for Warren | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
to probably undertake the biggest challenge in world rugby | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
and when he comes back to us in ten months' time, | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
I would have thought he will be Gatland led the Lions to success | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
in Australia three years ago but no Lions side has won a series | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
in New Zealand since 1971. It has been made more difficult | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
as players will be involved in the finale of the domestic | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
season the week before The playing season this year, | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
if you go on the Lions tour this year, it is going to be about 11 | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
months, so it's all Who can best recover the quickest | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
because everybody is going to want a pound of flesh from the WRU | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
from a Welsh perspective He flies tomorrow to New Zealand | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
to start preparing, aiming Something he has failed | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
to achieve in ten attempts Thousands of spectators | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
were in Denbigh this morning to cheer on some of the world's best | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
cyclists as they reached the first Welsh stage | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
of the Tour of Britain. Sir Bradley Wiggins | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
and Mark Cavendish joined more than 120 riders including | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Welsh Olympic gold Pleased to be home | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
but not taking it easy. Owain Doull went straight | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
from his Rio success to competing in the gruelling road race | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
from Glasgow to London via Wales. Riding as part of Team Wiggins | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
with fellow Olympian Sir Bradley, he says it's a world away | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
from the velodrome. They are polar opposites. For the | :23:47. | :23:56. | |
last two years, we have optimised our body to be good for four minutes | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
but today I have got to race for five or six hours. It does take a | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
bit of getting used to. Myself and Brad are struggling quite a lot this | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
week. The Tour started in Denbighshire | :24:10. | :24:11. | |
for the first time, with people lining the route to catch a glimpse | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
of their sporting heroes, including Rio silver | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
medallist Mark Cavendish. With 100 of the world's best riders | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
going through the heart of Wales in front of tens of thousands of people | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
and with the Rio Olympics still fresh in people's memories, there | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
has never been a better time to get on your bike. | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
Cycling clubs across Wales say they're reaping the benefits | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
We started a new club about a year ago and I think we are probably up | :24:37. | :24:46. | |
to about 100 members or thereabouts. It is a very active club. That has | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
all started in the last year and that has stemmed the activities the | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
British guys have been doing over the last couple of years. | :24:55. | :24:55. | |
Team Wiggins is some way off the lead, but after scooping so many | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
medals just a few weeks ago, they're already | :25:00. | :25:00. | |
Some warm and muggy conditions for the riders | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
The average temperature for September is about 16 Celsius so it | :25:04. | :25:19. | |
has been quite a warm day. Turning pressure as we go into tomorrow but | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
still some sunny spells to look forward to. Some clear skies | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
tonight, especially further inland, but a cold weather front will bring | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
thicker cloud and some rain from the West. The rain is patchy in nature | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
but some heavy poles is likely on Snowdonia. Those temperatures | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
between 14 and 16 Celsius. The breeze picking up as the front | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
approaches as well. Tomorrow we do have high pressure to the east, low | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
pressure to the West. That cold weather front will clear and behind | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
it we will have another friend that will bring some rain tomorrow night. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
But first thing tomorrow morning, a little bit of rain across the | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
north-east. Some brisk south-westerly winds. Some sunny | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
spells and a few isolated showers. Those temperatures will range | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
between 17 and 19 Celsius. If you can find shelter from the wind, in | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm. Tomorrow night we will start | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
to see the next weather system pushing in from the West, bringing | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
more rain with it. Those temperatures will range between 14 | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
and 16 Celsius. By Friday morning, we will start to see that rain band | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
clearing as well. As we head into Friday, we have got high pressure to | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
the south-east, low pressure to the west of us and that is controlling | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
our weather. It is a fairly unsettled day. First thing on Friday | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
morning we have a little bit brain, that will clear, and then it is | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
sunny spells and a few showers. But in between the showers, if you can | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
find some sunshine, it will feel rather humid again for the end of | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
the week. Those temperatures between 16 and 20 Celsius. If you catch a | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
shower, it could linger on for a time as well. As we head into the | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
weekend, a little bit of rain Friday night into the early hours of | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
Saturday morning. That will clear and by the time we get into Saturday | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
afternoon, we can look forward to dry and brighter conditions. Sunday | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
the best day of the weekend. Largely dry, bright and breezy. Keep your | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
umbrella to hand. I'll be back with a quick | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
update at 8pm and more For now, from all of | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
us on the programme, | :27:34. | :27:38. |
