The UK could break up because of Brexit, so warns | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
the First Minister on a trade visit to the US, but critics say he should | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
be drumming up business, not putting off investors. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
What we don't want is a situation where different nations in the UK | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
feel unhappy at the final deal, so it is hugely important | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
that we work together, from my perspective to keep | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
We ask could the UK really break-up over Brexit? | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
Also tonight. The Severn rail tunnel shuts | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
for six weeks from Monday, as electrification work begins. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Expect delays and diversions - we'll have all the details to help | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
It blights landscapes and damages the environment - | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
why there's concern that flytipping could be set to rise. | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
Although the trend is downwards, many fear that it could be about to | :00:53. | :01:09. | |
increase again as council budget cuts mean that local authorities are | :01:10. | :01:10. | |
closing official dumps. In tonight's sport, selling | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
players and in the red. Cardiff City deny claims owner | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
Vincent Tan is asset The First Minister is under fire | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
for using a speech during his trade visit to America to say | :01:18. | :01:32. | |
the United Kingdom could "break-up" because of | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
tensions created by Brexit. Speaking in Chicago in the last half | :01:36. | :01:36. | |
hour, Carwyn Jones said big changes his critics are questioning why he's | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
highlighting possible political instability on a trip designed | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
to get US businesses More from our political reporter, | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Cemlyn Davies. This is what Carwyn Jones fears | :01:46. | :02:12. | |
could happen unless radical changes are made to help the nations of the | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
UK overcome the tensions Brexit could cause between them. The First | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Minister has spent the past few days in the United States trying to build | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
and strengthen trade links with American firms. His message, Wales | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
means business. But in Chicago this evening, his focus is firmly back on | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
this side of the Atlantic. For me it is a question of making sure that | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
when we look at where powers lie there is a coherent approach. If we | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
carry on as we are now then it is just went to Leeds to confusion in | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
the future and I don't want to see that. I want the UK to stay together | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
but we need to make sure that the structure is right in the future. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
His decision to make these comments on a trade visit has raised | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
eyebrows. The Welsh Conservatives leader has criticised the First | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Minister. If you are promoting a destination for investment and a | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
place of opportunity, you don't then talk about its imminent as eyes, as | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
he is talking about today. The United Kingdom is strong, Wales is | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
strong, let's promote that has a good virtue. This former Labour | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
adviser has also criticised Mr Jones' political decision-making. | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Where he is straying into dangerous territory, he is trying to sort of | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
interpret the Brexit referendum as somehow a vote for a federal United | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Kingdom and a stronger Welsh Government and a stronger assembly. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
It might be what he wants, it might be what I want, but I don't believe | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
it is what people in Wales voted for in the referendum. Away from | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
constitutional arguments, the First Minister is a game insisting today | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
that the UK must retain access to the European Union single market | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
after leaving the European Union. He also wants Wales to play an active | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
role in the Brexit negotiation process. When it comes to the | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
negotiations, his hand is not that strong. In Wales, the voters voted | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
to leave the European Union and that is in contrast to Scotland and | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Northern Ireland. When it comes to speaking to the UK Government, I | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
would imagine that Carwyn Jones is at the back of the queue. In | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Bridgend, Carwyn Jones' home turf there was broad support today for | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the First Minister 's calls. I voted remain. I would like to stay as | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
close to that as possible. Staying in the single market. If we are not | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
in the single market, I think we are the creek. They have to get a good | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
deal for Britain, in the single market, for instance, and making | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
sure that immigration is sorted out. And we should not just leave that up | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
to the UK Government? No, Wales has a voice and it needs to be heard. | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
Carwyn Jones will return to Wales facing more questions about his | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
comments. He says Brexit is all he has been asked about in United | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
States and so he has had to offer his thoughts. They have become | :05:12. | :05:12. | |
clearer today. Our Welsh Affairs Editor, | :05:13. | :05:13. | |
Vaughan Roderick is here. Vaughan, why's the First Minister | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
chosen to make this speech Any international visitors not just | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
about one thing. It includes a number of other things but it does | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
seem strange when he is trying to drum up business to say, maybe this | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
uncertainty is going to go on for years. Maybe the United Kingdom | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
itself could fall apart. I think the key to understanding it is this, he | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
is desperately worried about access to the single market, which he sees | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
as vital to Wales because of the importance of manufacturing and | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
agriculture to our economy. I suspect he feels he is not being | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
listened to, that the signals coming out of Westminster are that the | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
single market is less important to the government and controlling | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
immigration. It may be that Carwyn Jones feels that by saying this | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
abroad in front of a very high-powered meeting in Chicago that | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
it will receive attention that it would not have received if he had | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
simply said it in the assembly. This idea that the UK could break up | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
because Brexit, how realistic is that? Well, there is always the | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
possibility of a second Scottish independence referendum. There is no | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
reason why they could not be another. We know that Irish politics | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
is a law unto itself. It is very fluid. And there are legal and | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
constitutional means built into the Good Friday Agreement by which there | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
could be a united Ireland. No sign of that coming any time soon but it | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
is a possibility. The question is then where does that leave Wales? | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Does Wales continue as part of a new if you like state of England and | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Wales or is there some sort of new relationship and that is a question | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
that may well come down the track. One has to say though that there are | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
other major questions about Brexit that are far more urgent in terms of | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
being addressed. A 33-year-old man from Milford Haven | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
has been jailed for life for Luke Jones killed Natasha Bradbury | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
in what's been described as a 'brutal, sustained' attack | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
at her flat in Swansea Crown Court heard | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
the 27-year-old died Jones will serve a minimum of 17 | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
years behind bars. A 47-year-old man has admitted | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
the murder of his mother Robert Owens pleaded guilty | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
to killing 75-year-old Iris Owens in Ystrad Mynach - | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
the judge ordered him to be seen by a psychiatrist becuase | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
of the 'peculiar nature' He's due to be | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
sentenced next month. The number of drug related deaths | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
in Wales rose sharply last year, after a five year period | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
where it was consistently falling. Figures from the Office | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
for National Statistics suggest heroin is a particular problem | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
in England and Wales. Public Health Wales say they hope | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
wider use of Naloxone, which counteracts the effects | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
of an overdose, will reduce deaths. The main union at Ford in Bridgend | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
is demanding answers about how the car maker will keep around 1,800 | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
people in work, while halving the number of new engines | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
it plans to produce. Our Business Correspondent, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Brian Meechan, broke the story earlier this week and Brian you've | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
now got hold of a letter setting That's right. The letter is written | :08:19. | :08:39. | |
by Unite 's Welsh Secretary, Andy Richards. He was a union official at | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
this Ford plant for two decades. He does know the business and he says | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
this is part ultimately of Ford 's attempt to get out of the UK market | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
completely and unite questions answered, including this one. | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
What level of manning is going to be left in the plant when, you know, | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
the Jaguar engine finishes, that is probably prior | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
to 2020 now, the Sigma engine finishes, around 2019, | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
and we are left with only 125,000 units a year out of a capacity | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
in the plant of three quarters of a million? | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
We would like to know how on earth they are going to sustain | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
It also wants to know whether the company is still committed to the | :09:13. | :09:34. | |
number of jobs it said it would deliver for the ?15 million Welsh | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
Government invested as part of getting this deal on engines to | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Bridgend and what the plan is for getting further engines. In the last | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
hour, Ford has responded, reiterating it is up to Bridgend to | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
be competitive enough to win business with other Ford plants | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
around the world. And what more does Unite want government ministers to | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
do? I think Unite is ultimately pretty happy with the way the Welsh | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Government is responding. No surprise there, given how close | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Labour and the Unite union are. But what they are trying to do is to | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
bring the UK Government into this much more quickly than we have seen | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
previous UK governments get involved in industrial disputes. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
The Severn rail tunnel will be completely closed from Monday, | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
for six weeks, delaying journeys across the border. | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
It's being upgraded as part of the electrification programme. | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Passengers will be diverted via Gloucester, or will have to use | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
The more than a century old Severn Tunnel, connecting | :10:30. | :10:41. | |
But from Monday, the engineers take over. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
It'll be completely closed for six weeks. | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
To finish installing this, electrified rail, that'll power | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
We're working to modernise the Severn tunnel in order | :10:50. | :11:02. | |
to prepare it for faster, greener, more modern electric trains. | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
We've got six weeks of work to do, we've planned everything | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
ready for those six weeks and we are confident that trains | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
The tunnel will be closed between September the 12th | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
If you're travelling from South Wales to London, | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
you'll be diverted via Gloucester, adding around 40 | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
If you're travelling from South Wales to Bristol, | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
you'll have to take two rail replacement buses, | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
Passengers are being urged to plan in advance. | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
We don't anticipate a chaotic scene at all. | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Obviously, it will take a little bit of getting used to that we have | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
The regular travellers know what to expect. | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
So we are hoping that everybody will settle into the new short | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
to routine whilst this essential work is going on. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
In six weeks, it is hoped the tunnel will be ready | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
They could cut 20 minutes off a journey to London. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
It's hoped these six weeks will lead to improved journeys for everyone. | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
Residents of a Swansea estate say fly-tipping in their area | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
They believe the problem's got worse since changes were made | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
to what could be left at official council recycling centres. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Across Wales, illegal dumping of rubbish is causing environmental | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
damage, but as councils close household tips to save money, | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
some believe the problem is set to rise, as Nick Palit reports. | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
It is a depressingly familiar sight on isolated roads or back | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Illegally dumped rubbish, a blot on the landscape, | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
often an environmental hazard, and always expensive to clear up. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
Last year across Wales, there were 32,000 incidents | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
And although the trend is downwards, it has halved since 2008, | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
many fear it is about to increase again, as council budget cuts mean | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
that local authorities are having to close official rubbish dumps. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
This council recycling centre in Cardiff is set to close soon. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
Campaigners say that will inevitably add | :13:02. | :13:02. | |
I think it is going to be catastrophic. | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
We are already seeing an increase in fly-tipping. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
We have an influx of a considerable number of new houses. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
It is very, very false economy and the cost to the taxpayer will be | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
huge because the council then need to deal with the clean-up | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Cardiff Council don't believe this closure will result | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
in more illegal dumping, as they say they will increase | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
capacity at the city's other household recycling centres. | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
It is the best I have seen it for a long, long time. | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
The rubbish, the papers, all around the grass, all have gone. | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
In Swansea, it is all clean now, but the streets around Elaine | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
and Bill's home on the Penlan estate have been blighted by fly-tipping. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
The amount of rubbish, a whole house contents have been | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
Bill believes part of the problem is that the nearby council tip | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
will not accept certain waste any more. | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
When people sort of go into the place, they are turned away | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
because you can't take a carpet in there, you can't take | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
beddings in there, you can't take a bed in there. | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
People are thinking, rather than travelling two or three, | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
four miles down to the other plant, they will just nip around | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Swansea councils say there are rules on the disposal of rubbish changed | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
in a bid to boost recycling rates and reduce costs. | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
By 2020, all councils in Wales must recycle 64% of its waste. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
It's down to the cash-strapped local authorities to clean | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
up after fly-tippers but they are warning that | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
enforcement officers will sift through rubbish, | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
checking for anything to identify those who dumped it. | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
If caught, it can lead to prosecutions, fines or even | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Cardiff City deny claims owner Vincent Tan is asset | :14:40. | :14:53. | |
stripping the club. And the weather is taking a turn | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Some heavy rain and strong winds, but I do have some good | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park is appealing to the public not | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
to camp overnight in the sand dunes at Poppit beach near St Dogmaels. | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
Litter has been left in the dunes, which is a site of special | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
scientific interest, after parties, and there's concern | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
about the impact of camp fires on the fragile habitat. | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
The Welsh Government has been consulting on whether so-called | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
"wild camping" could be more widely allowed. | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
This is what the morning after the night before looks | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
These pictures show how one of Pembrokeshire is most beautiful | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
beaches has become a magnet for wild campers. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Rangers at Pembrokeshire Coast National Park have had enough | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
of cleaning up after parties in the sand dunes and they are asking | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
This is a very popular spot for wild camping. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
And just looking around here under my feet, you see | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
a lot of broken bottles, remnants of the fire in the middle, | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
and bottle tops, paper, small items, but obviously after a party, | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
These sand dunes are protected by law. | :16:05. | :16:12. | |
This is a site of special scientific interest. | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park authority are asking people not | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
to stay here overnight but to use designated campsites nearby. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
Wild camping seems to be increasing in popularity but it does | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
bring problems to some of the National Park 's most idyllic | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
I know there are problems with camping at Angle | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
We are having an increasing number of complaints | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
about anti-social behaviour and in general, wild camping. | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
The Welsh Government held a consultation two years ago | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
on access to the outdoors but there is yet to be a decision | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
on whether people should have greater access to camp | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
At the moment, you must have the permission of the landowner. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Visitors to Poppit Sands had some mixed opinions about whether people | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
should be allowed to stay in the sand dunes overnight. | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
But they should tidy up after themselves, yes. | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
People should not even be walking in the dunes. | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
It is a site of special scientific interest and the damage caused | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
walking through continually basically takes away the natural | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
In everything in life, you will get a tiny handful | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
of people who will spoil it for everybody else. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
It is one of the best places that we have got in | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
Our beaches are what we advertise most within the national parks. | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Yes, that is something that we definitely want to keep | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
Dyfed-Powys Police will be conducting extra patrols | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
near the beach to try and deter anti-social behaviour. | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
And to help protect this fragile habitat. | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
A busy sporting weekend lies ahead - here's Tomos. | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
The Cardiff City chairman has denied suggestions the owner is asset | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
stripping the club and preparing to off-load the club. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
Mehmet Dalman says the Championship side is being run | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
It comes after disquiet among fans after high profile players departed | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
and many are now questioning the owner's commitment. | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
Happier times playing Premier League football, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
attracting big crowds and big-name signings. | :18:22. | :18:22. | |
Expectations at Cardiff city were as high as the owner's | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
Three years on, managers have come and gone and with the club | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
losing ?13 million a year, players have been sold, | :18:34. | :18:35. | |
leaving fans to wonder whether the money has dried up. | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
To have a healthy club, you have to run it like a business. | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
It is a business that will always be losing money for you, we know that, | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
it is a degree of how much money you can lose. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
And we operated quite prudently, but that does not mean | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
to say our ambition today is any less than it was two | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
There have been some notable signings but top talent has also | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
Goalkeeper David Marshall and fans favourite Fabio gone. | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Cardiff's annual losses is at the maximum allowed | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
Exceed that limit on the club could be placed under | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
This football finance expert is also chair | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
And has sympathy with the club's hierarchy. | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
I want to see them spend lots of money and compete | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
with the likes of Newcastle and maybe Aston Villa | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
but wearing my football finance hat, I have dealt with a number | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
of football clubs who following that policy have got themselves in real | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
serious financial trouble and some have almost gone to the wall | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
I want to see that avoided because I want to see | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
But the owner's commitment is also being questioned. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Vincent Tan is focused on his businesses in Asia, | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
but he still, we are told, gets about three in the morning | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
to follow his team on the television. | :19:56. | :19:56. | |
But his absence from the ground is raising suspicions. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Some fans worry their football team could be in freefall. | :20:00. | :20:11. | |
We are seeing big clubs like Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton, | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Leeds, who have gone down the divisions into League 1. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
There is a concern that Cardiff could do that but I think what fans | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
would really relish and welcome is a dialogue with the club. | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
The last time that the club spoke to fans about their ambitions, | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
they clearly stated that top six was the aim. | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
They can see what other clubs are doing. | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
They can see that it is going to be tougher and maybe a bit | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
Vincent Tan announced earlier this year that he is going to lower | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
the club's debt by turning ?68 million worth into equity | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
and writing off a further 10 million and the club insist | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
they are on course to be debt free by 2021. | :20:47. | :20:53. | |
Swansea City's record signing, Borja Baston, is unlikely | :20:54. | :20:54. | |
to start against Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday. | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
The ?15 million Spanish striker has yet to make his debut for the club | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
because of a thigh injury and manager Francesco Guidolin | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
says the 23-year-old is still getting up to speed. | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
He is not injured but he has to go slow for two or three days. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
I hope to have him available for the bench | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
Rugby and Taulupe Faletau, Jamie Roberts and George North | :21:17. | :21:30. | |
will have to rely on wildcard selections by Wales interim coach | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Rob Howley, if they're to take part in the autumn internationals. | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
They're among seven players who could miss out on selection | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
Dominic Day, Nicky Thomas, Rhodri Williams and Rhys Priestland | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
are the other players affected by the so-called 'Gatland's Law'. | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
Ice hockey and the Cardiff Devils start their new season this weekend, | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
with a trip to face Manchester Storm tomorrow, before taking | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
on Braehead Clan at Ice Arena Wales the following evening. | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
The Devils have a have a new captain, the Canadian | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
Last season, the Welsh side led the Elite League table for months, | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
We just missed out last year and that was disappointing last year | :22:05. | :22:16. | |
and we will try to put the disappointment behind us | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
and learn from that and take anything we can and we are excited | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
We have a great group of guys and everyone is getting along well. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
Everyone is ready to go, so it is exciting. | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
Welsh paralympic rower Rachel Morris won her heat in the women's singles | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
sculls in Rio and will compete in the final on Sunday. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
The 37-year-old from Pembrokeshire won gold in Beijing and silver | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
in London in hand-cycling, but has since switched to rowing. | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
Back home and Paralympics GB is touring the country, | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
hoping to inspire the next generation of athletes, | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
inviting people to come and have a go at disability sports. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
But there are calls tonight for people to have better access | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
to those sports all the time and not just in a Paralympics year. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Disability sport on a world stage, challenging preconceptions and | :22:58. | :23:15. | |
inspiring more people to get involved. The organisers are hoping | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
to capitalise on the enthusiasm but they admit it is not always easy to | :23:21. | :23:28. | |
maintain that momentum. It is an ongoing challenge. We have to work | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
together with other organisations in the wider community, transport, | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
dividing access, making it truly inclusive. It is great that certain | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
sports clubs exist and offer opportunities but if they cannot get | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
there or afford to get there or they don't have support to help them to | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
attend, all those things need to work together. There are dozens of | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
sports on offer here from judo to trampolining, wheelchair rugby and | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
table tennis and for some, the chance to try a new challenge is a | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
valuable part of the journey. I had my crash in May, I broke my back and | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
all my ribs. It put me in a coma. That is where I am now really. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Paralysed from the waist down. How important is this to you? I just | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
want to make something, definitely, yeah. I want to make some thing | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
myself now. The emphasis today is on having a go at the variety of | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
opportunities available but that is not say the Paralympics stars of the | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
are not here today. One of these events was what got me hooked on | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
Paralympics sports. I did not know where my life was going to be, but | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
then I started sport again and the environment pushed me and broke down | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
the barriers and allowed me to be me again. More than 500 disabled people | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
are expected here to try their hand at sport. The challenge for the | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
organisers is to keep that momentum going year-on-year. | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
Time now for the weather forecast with Derek. | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
Heavy rain and strong winds for the weekend? | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
Not a complete wash-out. I do have some good news. The worst of the | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
wind and rain will be this evening and to night but once that moves | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
through, we can look forward to plenty of dry weather over the | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
weekend. Some sunshine and light winds as well. The strongest winds | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
and gales this afternoon had been in the north-west of Wales where we | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
have seen gusts of over 60 mph. This evening, a dry start in the East but | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
it will not last. Rain spreading from the West. Some heavy rain, | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
strong winds and poor travelling conditions. The north and west will | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
dry up later on tonight. Tomorrow is charged shows a cold front lying | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
through England and that will move slowly eastwards during the day. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Behind it, some sunshine and cooler air. This is the picture for eight | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
o'clock in the morning. The range would have gone from the south-east. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Still fairly cloudy. Elsewhere drive. Bright in the north and on | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
the west Coast. Bright in Cardigan with just a light breeze. It is an | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
improving story tomorrow. Cloud in the south and east will gradually | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
clear away. It may take its time. More of the country will brighten up | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
during the afternoon, some sunshine, most places dry, just the odd cheeky | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
shower in the north. Temperatures lower than today. In the sunshine, | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
it will feel quite present. In Pembrokeshire tomorrow, semi in | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
Saint Davids. And it will be a pretty nice day on Anglesey | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
tomorrow. 16 Celsius. The BBC Proms in the park is taking place in | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
Colwyn Bay tomorrow evening. The weather will be ideal. Cool and | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
fresh but fine and clear. Tomorrow night generally dry. Clear spells. | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
Quite chilly in the countryside. Maybe the odd mist and fog patches. | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
A taste of autumn. On Sunday, low-pressure in the Atlantic will | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
track its way north-eastwards. That will bring the stronger winds and | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
gales to Ireland. In Wales, a decent enough day on Sunday. A lot of dry | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
weather with bright spells and hazy sunshine. Next week, it looks like | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
warming up a bit. Temperatures into the 20s again. Monday May be dry but | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
we could cease and heavy showers on Tuesday. In the meantime, a lot of | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
dry weather over the weekend watch -- once we have got rid of tonight | :27:30. | :27:30. | |
's heavy rain. I'll be back with a quick | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
update at eight, more after the BBC News at Ten, | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
for now, from all of us on the programme, | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
have a good evening. | :27:39. | :27:44. |
