:20:16. > :20:18.further 11 are still being investigated. What we don't know is
:20:19. > :20:22.how big the unregistered industry is. Those people who see an
:20:23. > :20:27.opportunity to say for example get involved in removing tattoos get
:20:28. > :20:31.hold of a laser and just start doing it themselves. We don't know who
:20:32. > :20:36.they are, we don't know where they are, and that's the area of concern.
:20:37. > :20:41.Registered practitioners like Jodie echo these concerns. She and her

:21:48. > :21:50.But what we're going to do if we find out who the perpetrators are,
:21:51. > :21:54.what is the punishment? Is it a little rap on the knuckles, or is it

:24:19. > :24:21.England for residential training. I could satisfactorily exceed the high
:24:22. > :24:24.street but coming back here was a different story. So having a
:24:25. > :24:29.training centre in Cardiff has made a world of difference. And for Sean

:25:11. > :25:12.and the guide dogs who have made a difference to people's lives here.
:25:13. > :25:19.It's time for the weather now. We got to see some sunshine today,
:25:20. > :25:23.didn't we? Certainly, much brighter today. With
:25:24. > :25:30.sunny spells and a few passing showers. Some blue sky and cumulus
:25:31. > :25:34.cloud here today, the temperature around 16 Celsius with a gusty wind.
:25:35. > :25:38.This evening and tonight some dry, clear weather but a few showers
:25:39. > :25:42.dotted around as well. Heavy in places and a cooler, fresh and last
:25:43. > :25:47.night. Temperatures in mid Wales falling as low as 7-8 Celsius.
:25:48. > :25:52.There's a chance to night of seeing the Northern lights especially in
:25:53. > :25:57.the north. So look out for those. So what about tomorrow? At 8am it's a
:25:58. > :26:02.bit of a mixed picture. There will be a few showers about, one or two
:26:03. > :26:06.heavy ones. The chance of hailstones. Some parts will be dry
:26:07. > :26:10.and bright. Some sunshine in Carmarthen and the wind lighter than
:26:11. > :26:13.today. A mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers tomorrow. Sharp
:26:14. > :26:21.showers in places, but they will be hit and miss. That means you may be
:26:22. > :26:23.lucky and get away with a dry afternoon. Temperatures will be a
:26:24. > :26:27.little lower than today, 14-17 Celsius and less breezy. In Merthyr
:26:28. > :26:34.Tydfil tomorrow, a mixture of sunny spells and showers, feeling cool and
:26:35. > :26:36.fresh, 14 Celsius. Similar in Montgomeryshire, showers in places,
:26:37. > :26:42.some dry weather and sunshine as well. Tomorrow evening scattered
:26:43. > :26:46.showers, dry for a while, but then more rain and showers will spread
:26:47. > :26:49.from the west after midnight. That doesn't bode well, really, for
:26:50. > :26:56.Saturday because we will have low pressure over the UK. The
:26:57. > :27:00.waterproofs will come in handy on Saturday with heavy showers or
:27:01. > :27:03.longer spells of rain circulating around the low. A few bright sunny
:27:04. > :27:06.intervals in the mix with temperature of the cool side.
:27:07. > :27:10.Saturday night will become dry and chilly. On Sunday we are between
:27:11. > :27:16.weather systems with high pressure over France. So much nicer on
:27:17. > :27:19.Sunday. One or two mist and fog patches in the morning, otherwise
:27:20. > :27:23.dry, some sunshine and light winds. If you are taking part or watching
:27:24. > :27:27.the Cardiff half Marathon on Sunday the weather should be ideal. Sunday
:27:28. > :27:29.is the best day of the weekend. Monday as dry as well with the
:27:30. > :27:39.south-easterly breeze. That's Wales Today. We have a quick
:27:40. > :27:44.update at 8pm and more after the BBC News at Ten PM. For now, thanks for
:27:45. > :27:45.your company and have a really good evening. Goodbye.
