A woman who alleges she was raped | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
by footballer Ched Evans in a hotel room tells a jury she did | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
Another blow for the Welsh steel industry - 100 jobs go | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
And we're underground with the latest on the Severn | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
It's costing ?10 million, but bosses say work is right on track. | :00:23. | :00:34. | |
You can understand the scale of the work, working 24 hours with 200 | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
people around condensing five years of work into six weeks. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
In tonight's sport: It's arguably their toughest | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
World Cup qualifier - the Wales team arrive in Vienna | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
ahead of their clash against Austria tomorrow night. | :00:49. | :01:01. | |
A court has heard that a woman allegedly raped by the former Wales | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
footballer Ched Evans woke up naked and alone in a hotel room and | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
The prosecution say the woman was too drunk to consent. | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
The Chesterfield striker denies raping her at the Premier Inn | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
in Rhuddlan in Denbighshire five years ago. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
His re-trial was ordered after a successful appeal | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
For a second day, Ched Evans listened in court that the woman he | :01:26. | :01:40. | |
is accused of raping. It is alleged to have happened five years ago in | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
Denbighshire. The court heard the 19-year-old woman was out drinking | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
with friends in real during the second Maybank holiday weekend in | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
2011. The jewellery were shown recorded a lease video interviews | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
with the alleged victim from 2011. In them, she explains how she | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
remembers nothing after leaving a nightclub last night save for | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
holding a piece of pizza at some point in a takeaway. She described | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
waking up alone in a hotel room without her clothes on, unable to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
explain how she got there. She said even her friends would say she does | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
go out and drink, but not to the extent where she doesn't remember | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
anything. CCTV shown in court showed the woman at this takeaway, she is | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
seen stumbling and falling over. She met a friend of Chad Evans here, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
too. Follow football at Clayton McDonald's. The jury was shown CCTV | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
showing the pair of getting a taxi back to the hotel. Previous trial, | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
great Donnal was admitted of rape -- cleared of rape, there is no | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
suggestion he has done anything wrong. The defence team of Ched | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
Evans say he went into the room while the woman was having | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
consensual sex and joined in with her permission. The QC put it to the | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
alleged victim, I'm suggesting you were disinherited, you lost your | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
inhibitions because you had been drinking? I don't no, said the | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
woman. Later she said, a memory blackout does not mean unconscious, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
not capable of making decisions, would you agree with that? Yes, the | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
woman replied. It was put several times to the alleged victim that she | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
took the lead and directed things at the hotel that night. She maintains | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
that's not something she would do. Chad Evans denies one count of rape. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
The trial continues. Around 100 workers have lost their | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
jobs at a Newport steel firm. AIC Steel Limited, which has only | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
been operating since 2014, 29 people are left | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
working at the plant - and their future is unknown, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
as our Economics Correspondent Right in the heart of | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Newport's Docklands, they've been putting together | :03:44. | :03:58. | |
structures made from steel Just two years ago, AIC celebrated | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
a ?10 million investment But yesterday lunchtime, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
130 workers were called in the canteen, and told | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
that the business was going 101 of them were made redundant, | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
and those that are still left here are keeping the business | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
ticking over while the administrator AIC has been buying steel | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
and drilling and welding it and cutting it into whatever | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
structure their clients order. The sheer size of the site means | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
this team can work on vast projects. The site has helped build some | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
of the most high-profile sporting venues in the UK, | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
including the roof at the London Olympics Aquatics Centre, | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
stadia in Cardiff and Swansea, Most recently, AIC had a contract | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
with Bristol City Football Club It is very unfortunate for the | :04:44. | :05:00. | |
workforce and the steel company. Unfortunately, it's not a great | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
surprise, because the fabrication industry is facing a number of | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
difficulties. Firstly, the demand, which was predicted to increase | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
through 2016, is still flat-lining, there is very the full increase in | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
demand in the fabrication industry. Working here for more than 40 years, | :05:15. | :05:26. | |
and at one time, more than 1000 workers were there. It is only 2.5 | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
years since AIC took it over, when the company went into | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
administration, hitting the local community hard. It has come as quite | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
a shock, really. Only one year ago, they laid quite a few people off. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
And now have, you know, but in all of them go, is, yeah, it is going to | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
be big in Newport, 100 people, lots of people, yeah, a sad day, a sad. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
How vulnerable is the Welsh steel industry right now? | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
Well, really this isn't the steel industry as we might think of it in | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
terms of Tata Steel, this company does not make steel, it buys steel | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
and make things from them, it is a fabricator, we have got lots of | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
fabricators across Wales but that doesn't mean they are having an easy | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
time. They are the kind of business that do badly in a downturn or a | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
recession, and it is very competitive out there. In fact, | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
somebody who's applies that sector told me today that it is very quiet | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
in Wales in that field. That is particularly dangerous because you | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
could go out as a business tendering, trying to get work, get | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
too much work in and not be able to deliver in the time because you | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
don't have the capacity, you have only got 130 workers after all. But | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
the other thing is special bespoke tailored products like this are very | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
hard to cost. You want to offer a cost that is cheap so that you get | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
the business, the lowest you can to get the business, but you might find | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
there is no room for any profit there. We don't know the reasoning | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
behind this, the administrators and saying what, but it is a fragile, | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
delicate kind of business. Thank you, Sarah. | :07:09. | :07:09. | |
A 33-year-old man from Cardiff has appeared in court charged | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
with six terrorism offences, including membership of so-called | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Islamic State, and possessing a missile guidance book. | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
Samata Ullah was arrested in the city last Tuesday | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
by the Metropolitian Police Counter Terrorism Command. | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey later this month. | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
An investigation's underway into an oil spill which has entered | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Natural Resources Wales says it's working to contain the spill | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Kerosene from the pipeline which carries aviation fuel | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
and diesel from the Valero refinery in Pembroke has | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Anglers in the area say they've seen a large number of dead | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
You know, the river's bad enough as it is. | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
You can smell it in the air now, I can feel it on my hands. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
If this is happening here, what's it going to be like once it | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
And then it's floating up and down with the tides. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
We don't know what effect that's going to have. | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
The leader of Ukip in the Assembly, Neil Hamilton, has ruled himself out | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
of the running to become the party's new UK leader. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Diane James, who'd only held the post for 18 | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Nigel Farage, whom she took over from, described the prospect | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
of Mr Hamilton leading the party as a "horror show", | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
I do not see any prospect of that horror story coming to pass. | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
He is the leader of Ukip in the Welsh Assembly? | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Because I'm afraid he doesn't do our public image a whole | :08:37. | :08:46. | |
Our Political Reporter, Paul Martin, has been following another lively | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
Yes, it was just last week that Diane James was here in Cardiff Bay, | :08:52. | :09:06. | |
meeting Ukip AM to tell them about her plans for the future of the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
party. Nine days later, she is out of the job at Nigel Farage is back, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
temporarily at least. As for who is going to take over from Diane James | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
here in the longer term, Neil Hamilton ruled himself out, and he | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
had this response to that big from Nigel Farage. I suppose different | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
things Bright and different people. In the cause of a long political | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
life, criticism is rarely inhibited by ignorance. As for who is in the | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
running for the drop, Steven Woolfe, an MEP who fail to get his | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
nomination papers in in time, he confirmed this afternoon he is going | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
to go to the job again, and he is very close to form the Ukip Wales | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
leader Nathan Gill. A rival, of course, of Neil Hamilton. People who | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
followed the Ukip Wales or will not be surprised to hear that Neil | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
Hamilton is backing a different candidate. He wants another MEP, | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
Paul Nuttall, deliver the job. Mr Hamilton feels that Paul Nuttall | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
will be the best man to develop the presence that Ukip as in traditional | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Labour areas like the Welsh valleys. Thank you, Paul. | :10:14. | :10:14. | |
It's emerged the six-week electrification work | :10:15. | :10:15. | |
in the Severn Tunnel is costing Network Rail ?10 million. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Engineers at the partly taxpayer-funded body say | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
they are on track to finish by their October 21st deadline. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
The tunnel is closed during the engineering, | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
The future's arrived in the dark, damp Severn Tunnel. | :10:26. | :10:37. | |
A 21st-century rail anchored in Victorian brick. | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
But while engineers are ferried to their subterranean work, | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
This work has caused misery for thousands of commuters, | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
who've had to travel the long way round using | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
Transport planners are hoping it's worth it. | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
The Swiss-made rail will power faster trains to South Wales. | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
The England to Wales line has already been finished. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Those working here say it's the most intensive rail project | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
These six weeks are costing Network Rail, which is | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
Within the six weeks' working, we're spending circa ?10 million. | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
So you can understand the scale of the work, | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
working 24 hours with 200 people round-the-clock, condensing five | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
Commuters are travelling the long way round while | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Trains between South Wales and London are taking the scenic | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
route via Gloucester, adding around 35 | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
And passengers have been sharing their experiences online. | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
Emma from Newport posted this picture, pleased | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
with her new commute along the River Severn. | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
But others, like Nathan Cready, are frustrated with | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Electrification will allow these to operate in Wales - | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
they should cut 30 minutes off a journey to London. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Engineers say working the tunnel is going to plan, | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
but exactly when electrified trains will arrive here | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
Network Rail say they should be in Cardiff by 2019, | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
And more bad news for commuters tonight - | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
the railway line between Newport and Cardif has been closed | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
because an unexploded bomb from the Second World War has been | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
We'll be in Vienna, as Wales prepare to take on Austria | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
in arguably their toughest World Cup Qualifier. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
And it's been a beautiful autumn day. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
Sunny and breezy, but how long will the fine weather last, | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
The Prime Minister Theresa May has promised to help ordinary working | :13:01. | :13:12. | |
class people in a speech to the Conservative Party | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
conference, claiming they'd been hit hardest by the financial crisis. | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
But what do the blue-collar workers of Wales make of her message? | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Our Political Correspondent, James Williams, has been | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
A speech delivered to the party faithful in Birmingham, but one | :13:26. | :13:40. | |
directed to the country at large. This is a bold plan to bring Britain | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
together, to build a new united Britain, rooted... The test, as | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
always with these beaches, is whether they resonate outside of the | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
conference hall in places like Bridgend. A lot of water has flowed | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
under the bridge since this area last turned blue. It was 1983, in | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
fact, when spread end back the Conservatives. But the party has | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
been chipping away at the majority of Labour here in recent years, and | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
has the seat firmly set in its sights. So, what are the people of | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
the town make of Theresa May's hotly contested pitch that the | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
Conservatives can reclaim the new centre ground of British politics? | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
Well, I've never been impressed with the Conservative Party, to be | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
honest. I think she's possibly got more qualities to help most people | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
in the country than Mr Cameron before her. Do you think she is a | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
strong leader? Yeah, I'm just glad there is another woman in, to be | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
honest. Would you consider voting for her? Yes. She didn't vote for | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
Brexit. I voted out, and I'm glad to see now that she is trying to keep | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
it going, you know, do the best she can for the country. Brexit will | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
undoubtedly defying Theresa May's time in Downing Street. She called | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
the vote to leave the EU we quiet revolution, urging people to seize | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
the day. She will do the best that she can. And she is in a difficult | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
position. In reality, it's probably a no-win situation on a personal | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
site. It has been six months since this councillor left the | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Conservatives. But he thinks other people in the area may go the other | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
way. In the last election, we had the unknown quantity that is Ukip. | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
And as they are currently seeking the votes back from Ukip by really | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
adopting there are gender, it is quite possible, of course, that they | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
will chip away at Labour's majority little bit more -- there agenda. | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
Whether it is enough to turn its blue, that is going to depend very | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
much on how Brexit really does affect Bridgend. Three months into | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
her premiership, Theresa May is still enjoying her honeymoon. But | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
there is a very rocky road ahead. A drop-in session has been held | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
for people to find out more about plans for a ?7.5 million | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
flood-defence scheme 91-year-old Margaret Hughes died | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
and 400 homes were flooded when the River Elwy burst its banks | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
in St Asaph in November 2012. Work to protect the city from future | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
flooding is due to start next week. Plans for a ?12 million renewable | :16:17. | :16:24. | |
energy project at a waterfall in the Snowdonia National Park | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
have been withdrawn. Innogy Renewables UK Limited had | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
proposed a hydro-electric scheme on the River Conwy, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
near Betws y Coed. But it says it's decided | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
to shelve the project. It had attracted opposition | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
from environmentalists, Let's get tonight's | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
sport now with Kate. More money than ever | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
before is being spent on rugby in Wales, according | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
to the Welsh Rugby With a 13% increase in its turnover, | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
the WRU says it will continue to increase funding | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
for the game at all levels. But some community clubs claim | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
they're struggling to survive. Nurturing the rugby stars of the | :17:08. | :17:22. | |
future. Today, this club welcomed Gower College. This is on the 18th | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
elite college rugby. The young players at Galer College, like many | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
other schools around Wales, are coached by a rugby officer, | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
appointed as part of the school choir Pup programme. Its purpose is | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
to boost the number of children playing the game. We are trying to | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
promote rugby, encourage kids to play, we can start filtering them | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
into the clubs. Last year, we had year sevens, a lot of them coming to | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
school, never played rugby before, we worked really hard to get the | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
team up and running. We created and under 12 is. If we can do that every | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
year, we can have a full junior section in three or four years, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
which is great for the club. Expanding this kind of initiative | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
has been possible due to what the Welsh Rugby union claims is a record | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
investment in the national game. If we take a look at that investment in | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
a bit more detail we can see that regional rugby gets the biggest | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
portion of the money, more than ?19 million. Around ?200,000 more has | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
been invested in premiership rugby, and further to that, an extra ?1 | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
million has gone back into the game at the grassroots level. We always | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
try and encourage the club to be sort of like the hub of society. I | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
think we're all aware in Wales that many of these institutions are | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
struggling, if you like, in terms of attracting people. So it's | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
important, you know, villages the length and breadth of Wales have | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
rugby clubs, it is important they have sustainable futures. | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
Encouraging words for the likes of this club. They had to pull out of | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
the league this season because they were not able to arrange a team. | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
This is a unique situation. Over the past few years, many clubs have | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
struggled. We have been struggling for a few years. But at the start of | :19:13. | :19:18. | |
the season, we were hopeful that we would have a decent season. First | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
training session we had 20-odd players out. But from there it | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
declined. I come up here two or three weeks later, coming in the | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
dressing room and there five or six players. They said that players have | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
transferred into other clubs. I just don't know what the reason is. Many | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
of these young players have their sights set in a career on | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
professional rugby. To ensure more young players can have the same | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
aspirations, the W Y dew says it will look for new ways of generating | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
revenue to allow the game to to grow. | :19:52. | :20:03. | |
Let's start with Cardiff City - they've appointed Neil Warnock | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
as manager after Paul Trollope was sacked yesterday. | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
The 67-year-old helped Rotherham avoid relegation | :20:10. | :20:10. | |
from the division last season, but turned down the chance to stay. | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
Trollope was dismissed after only two wins in 11 games. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
The Wales team have arrived in Vienna, head of arguably their | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
toughest World Cup qualifier against Austria tomorrow night. Chris | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
Coleman's side will be looking to continue their good run of form. In | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
the city famous for Mozart and Strauss and calculus concert halls. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
It is Wales' turn to perform in Vienna. It's all on tomorrow night. | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
It's the night we've been waiting for, we'll see who is ready and who | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
is prepared. Whether they've got strength and weaknesses the same as | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
us, it's who is ready for the night and ready for the game tomorrow | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
night. The Austria manager said the night two or three of his players | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
will be tasked with marking Gareth Bale. The manager also claimed Wales | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
were lucky to reach the semifinals of Euro 2016. After success in the | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
summer, the demand for tickets has been higher than usual. Around 4000 | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
supporters are expected to travel here. But some fans won't have to | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
travel too far to get to the game. John Morgan was brought up in | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
Newcastle Emlyn, but Vienna has been his home for 40 years. Having | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
clocked up thousands of miles in his car following the national side, | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
this game is on his doorstep. This is marvellous, because we're still | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
recovering from the French trip, even the bank account are being | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
slowly repaired. At the moment everybody wants to see Gareth Bale, | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
he is the superstar, he is the local hero in Austria. Everybody wants to | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
see him play. And who would bet against it Wales side with bail on | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
form? But tomorrow's match is possibly Chris Coleman's toughest | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
test of the campaign, taking all aside seeded second behind Wales in | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
the group. -- taking on a side. We will of course have all of the | :22:12. | :22:12. | |
build-up. We'll have all the build-up | :22:13. | :22:13. | |
to Wales' World Cup qualifier against Austria | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
in tomorrow's programme. For now, that's all | :22:17. | :22:17. | |
your sport, Nicky. ?7 million a year is spent | :22:18. | :22:18. | |
clearing drains in Wales, because people are flushing things | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
they shouldn't down the loo. Now Welsh Water is launching | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
a new campaign to get people to clean up their act, | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
as Caroline Evans reports. Yet another blockage | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
for the Welsh Water team to tackle. And there's a stone | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
in there as well, I think, Wet wipes by the bucketload | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
are having to be pulled out Steve has been doing | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
this job for 15 years, The worst thing I found | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
in the drains was a small kids' paddling pool, | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
which someone had obviously just stuffed on the line | :23:00. | :23:00. | |
and used it as a bin. His colleague, Gareth, | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
just a few months into the job, has A kids' toy, and I've seen | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
a football before now. It seems people will throw | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
anything down the drain. But even rinsing oil down the sink | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
can lead to major problems. Just remember this fatberg | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
found under Cardiff. With 2000 call-outs to blocked | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
sewers every month, Welsh Water has today launched a campaign hoping | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
to make people realise the damage they can cause by flushing a cotton | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
bud or putting food down the sink. If we just stick to putting paper, | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
poo and pee down the toilet and not wet wipes and cotton buds | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
and plastic and all sorts of manner of other things, | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
then the sewers will block far less So, really, it's all | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
about working with customers so that they understand what not | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
to put down the toilet. A recent survey found Welsh Water | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
customers would rather see investment in our water system | :24:03. | :24:04. | |
than money off bills. It is hoped that by highlighting | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
the cost of work like this, ?7 million per year, | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
it will help change habits. There is plenty more dry weather to | :24:12. | :24:30. | |
come this week, that's for sure, although it will turn a bit cooler | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
and Claudio. No sign yet of any significant rain, just one or two | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
showers. Lots of sunshine and cloud in Welshpool today with a gusty | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
wind, sunny and breezy in Tonypandy. High pressure over Scandinavia at | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
the moment, that's the reason for the dry spell. Quite a few isobars | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
across the UK, that's why it has been a bit windy today. We also have | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
some cooler air lurking David Germany, and that blob of cooler air | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
is heading our way, it's going to reach us tomorrow, bringing in | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
temperature. In the meantime, fine and clear this evening. -- bringing | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
a cooler temperature. The South and West stays clear, and cooler than | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
last night, temperatures falling as low as six or seven Celsius. Here is | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
the picture for tomorrow morning at 8am, it will feel chilly, but dry. | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
Cloudy in parts of the South East. Some cloud likely in Wrexham and | :25:29. | :25:35. | |
Flintshire. I'll swear, fine and bright, should be sunny in the West. | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
-- elsewhere. During the day, some cloud will spread from the east, | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
still a few sunny intervals in the afternoon but not as sunny as today. | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
Generally dry and cooler. Temperatures lower than today, 12 to | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
15 Celsius. The wind not quite so strong, but still a noticeable | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
breeze. In Monmouthshire tomorrow, cloudier than today, cooler as well | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
with the breeze. Turning a bit cloudier in the afternoon. Tomorrow | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
evening and overnight, the cloud may be thick enough for one or two | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
passing showers here and there, and feeling on the cool side. Friday is | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
fairly cloudy, showers in places, otherwise a lot of dry weather and | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
bright and sunny towards Pembrokeshire. Temperatures a degree | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
also higher, 16 Celsius in Aberystwyth. The weekend, not agree | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
deal of change. -- not a great deal of change. One or two showers, | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
otherwise dry, bright spells of sunshine, wind light, similar on | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
Sunday, the risk of a sharp too, slightly cooler. Make the best of | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
the sunshine in parts of the South and West. That's all for me. Thanks, | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
Derek. A reminder of our top story tonight. A court has heard that a | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
woman allegedly raped by the formal Welsh footballer Ted Evans -- Ched | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
Evans said that the woman was too drunk to consent. The Chesterfield | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
striker denies raping her in Denbighshire in 2011. I'll be back | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
I'll be back with a quick update at 8pm, and a full round-up | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
From all of us on the programme, have a lovely evening. | :27:28. | :27:30. |
