First Minister Carwyn Jones in Downing Street. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
He's told not to undermine Brexit negotiations, | :00:08. | :00:08. | |
but Theresa May says the Welsh Government | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
The First Minister's top priority - ensuring Welsh companies don't have | :00:11. | :00:22. | |
But he says he's still unsure about what sort of Brexit the UK | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
rapes in the wake of the retrial of Wales footballer Ched Evans, | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
How much will you pay for a pint of milk? | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
More if it's organic - is that the answer to help | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Wales forward Gareth Bale on the shortlist for the 2016 | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
And it's been cloudy and chilly today. | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Damp in places too, but what's in store for the rest of the week? | :00:57. | :01:15. | |
The message tonight from the Prime Minister | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
to the Welsh Government, as she met Carwyn Jones | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
and the leaders of the other devolved nations. | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
After Wales was promised a say in shaping the UK's exit | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
from the European Union, the First Minister described access | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
to the single market for Welsh businesses as a red line. | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
Here's our Parliamentary Correspondent, David Cornock. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
All the main players arriving in Downing Street. | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
A seat at the table and smiles for the camera from the First | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Minister and his counterparts from Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
ready for the first meeting of the so-called joint ministerial | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
The stakes are high and confusing in this Brexit game of cards. | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
Wales voted to leave the European Union but the First | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Arlene Foster voted to leave but Northern Ireland voted | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
to remain, as did Scotland, where Nicola Sturgeon has talked | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
of holding a second referendum on independence. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
But in deciding Britain's strategy, Theresa May may yet | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
The Prime Minister has offered Carwyn Jones a chance to help shape | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
Britain's Brexit strategy but made it clear that it | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
will be her government that negotiates a UK wide deal. | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
What I want is for us in determining the UK's position because it will be | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the UK that will be negotiating with European Union our future | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
relationship that we take into full account and understand properly | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
the impacts and the particular issues that are of concern | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
to the devolved administrations and that is precisely | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
It is precisely what we are going to be discussing in detail with them | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
Since the vote to leave the European Union, Carwyn Jones' | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
diary has been full of visits and events where Brexit | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
He is concerned leaving the European Union could mean | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
new barriers that make it more expensive for Welsh companies | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
The absolute red line is I want to make sure that Welsh | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
manufacturers have full and unfettered access | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
That is by far the most important issue for me. | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
And that is something that to me cannot be negotiated away. | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
How do you get full and unfettered access without agreeing to full | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
There will need to be a quid pro quo. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
There are different models that can be adopted but yes, | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
there will be a need for compromise in order to make sure | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
that the Welsh economy continues on its upward trend. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
But the UK Government said setting out red lines now is unhelpful. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
It is the UK Government that will ultimately make | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
the judgment but we all want the same thing. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
Let's look pragmatically and professionally. | :04:00. | :04:00. | |
We want UK business, UK manufacturing sector, | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
UK financial services sector and other sectors to have access | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
We want them to be able to trade as freely as possible, that will be | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Mrs May told the First Minister she wanted a bespoke deal for the UK | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
that wouldn't mean a binary choice and there will be more talks | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
involving the Welsh Government before Britain triggers the formal | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
process of leaving next March, but the Prime Minister | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
continues to play her cards close to her chest. | :04:30. | :04:40. | |
Fair to say, a mixed response from First Ministers | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
Yes, that is putting it politely. Carwyn Jones emerged disappointed, | :04:43. | :04:58. | |
if not surprised, said he was none the wiser about the UK Government 's | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
strategy for Brexit. The First Minister of Scotland, Nicola | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Sturgeon, went further. She said how can I undermine a strategy when | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
there is not one to undermine? She of course has rather more leverage | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
than Carwyn Jones, in the sense that Scotland voted to remain inside the | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
European Union and she is threatening to call a second | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
referendum on Scottish independence if the Brexit deal is not to her | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
liking. Carwyn Jones says he would not agree to support a deal that did | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
not meet his red lines but there are questions about whether that red | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
line of access to a single market can be delivered when the UK | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Government is committed to introducing new curbs on | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
immigration. We shouldn't be too surprised because the UK Government | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
says the idea was to hear from the Welsh and other governments about | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
their ideas to feed into the process and the detail will come later. Can | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
we expect more of these get-togethers? Yes, if they agreed | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
on one thing today, that was the case. There will be more meetings, a | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
new forum chaired by the Brexit secretary and that will start | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
looking at the nitty-gritty of issues, so at the moment if you | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
travel from Fishguard to Rosslare, you don't need to show your | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
passport. Is that the sort of thing that is going to change after | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Brexit? Looking at how Brexit will impact on different industries. | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Those talks will continue and will get into the detail in the weeks and | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
months to come. Women may be less likely to report | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
rape, in the wake of the retrial of former Wales footballer, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
Ched Evans. That's according to 40female Labour | :06:36. | :06:36. | |
MPs, two of them from Wales, who've written to the Attorney | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
General. Mr Evans was found not | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
guilty earlier this month. His appeal relied on evidence given | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
by other sexual partners One of the most high profile | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
court cases of the year, Whilst my innocence has | :06:46. | :06:58. | |
now been established, I wish to make it clear that | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
I wholeheartedly apologise to anyone who might have been | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
affected by the events This retrial was ordered | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
because of new evidence, evidence that more than 40 female | :07:08. | :07:15. | |

for as a Labour Parliamentary women's committee is an assurance | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
that this is not going to be a retrograde step, that we are not | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
going to find that increasingly we are back in the past where women | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
were put off actually coming forward when they had been raped | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
because they didn't want to go through the trauma of being | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
cross-examined about their previous The woman in the Ched Evans case | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
never directly accused him of rape. She woke up in this hotel | :07:41. | :07:50. | |
in Denbighshire alone, naked and confused, unable | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
to remember anything. The Crown Prosecution Service argued | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
she was too drunk to consent. Ched Evans was asked | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
about what happened here, The sexual past of alleged victims | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
though cannot normally be It is a rule designed to stop | :07:59. | :08:10. | |

forward with more detail about what happened between them | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
and the same woman. Both men said she used to very | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
specific phrases and acted in a very specific way with them, | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
one's waking up having not remembered what had | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
happened the night before, Now, that evidence was so similar | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
to the account given by Ched Evans that judges ruled it was in | :08:27. | :08:40. | |

a fund for the woman She spoke anonymously this morning | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
on the Victoria Derbyshire programme because of threats | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
made to her online. Because of the way it has been | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
amplified in the media, it is going to mean another sharp | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
drop in reporting. Women will be afraid | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
of having their sexual history paraded before a courtroom | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
and in this case, before Others say this case has | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
not set a precedent. Judges in my experience are very, | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
very restrictive in the way that We encourage people and not put up | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
barriers and hurdles and give them some sort of fear that in practical | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
terms is not there. Mr Evans says everyone involved | :09:30. | :09:36. | |

in which he claims he may have killed a man who attacked him | :10:01. | :10:03. | |

against plans to downgrade Dairy farmers have long warned that | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
they're struggling to cope with fluctuating milk prices | :10:26. | :10:36. | |
and earlier this year warned of devastation to West Wales, | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
if the situation didn't improve. A report from the Welsh Government | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
says it can pay better. 17 years ago, this dairy farmer | :10:41. | :11:06. | |
chose to go organic. A grant was crucial to his decision. Since then | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
the business has expanded and sells its produce as far afield as a | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
teacher at preserving the land remains his biggest priority. It is | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
the belief that we can actually farm organically and use modern | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
techniques without the persistent use of fertilisers and pesticides. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
And the issue of the quality and taste of the food is not a line I go | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
down. I just go down on the treatment of the farm and | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
surrounding areas. Organically produced milk usually brings a low | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
will yield compared to when using conventional methods but some argue | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
that is compensated by lower running costs and the increase in the price | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
of organic milk in our shops. A Welsh Government commissioned report | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
on organic farming shows the organic industry is generating higher | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
profits than conventional farms. Of course, organic milk does cost more | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
but it seems we, the consumer, are happy to pay more for it. Last year | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
the price for organic milk rose to an average of 38p per litre, whereas | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
conventional milk prices show a drop. | :12:14. | :12:25. | |
But some like Brian Walters say organic farming has more financial | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
risks. He gave up on it a few years ago. There was a collapse in the | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
market at one time and conventional was paying more than organic milk. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
And that is the only reason we changed. I think there is also going | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
to be a change in the way that conventional farming is going to be | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
controlled more in the use of antibiotics and fertiliser in the | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
future. On the eve of the Welsh dairy show, milk prices dominate | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
discussion. Just one of many challenges facing farmers. The | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
changes could affect both, especially in places like | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Pembrokeshire. And Anglesey. And also TB, we still have a problem | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
with bovine TB in Wales and because alteration is out at the moment and | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
we are consulting with members on that. When it comes to dairy | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
farming, it is clear that one size does not fit all but the choices we | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
make as consumers over whether to buy organic or not will have a | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
bearing over the future of the industry. | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
Much more to come before 7pm. This train running between Wales | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
and London is renamed, as the Severn Tunnel reopens | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
after work to electrify the line, but will electrification ever reach | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
And Wales forward Gareth Bale on the shortlist for the 2016 | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Ballon d'Or award for the world's best player. | :13:38. | :13:50. | |
A Welshman has thrown his hat into the ring to replace | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Nigel Farage and become the new leader of Ukip. | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
It's not Neil Hamilton, but a former parliamentary | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
candidate for the party, John Rees Evans. | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
He's no stranger to tabloid headlines. | :13:59. | :13:59. | |
Our Political Reporter, Paul Martin, can fill us in. | :14:00. | :14:11. | |
Yes, John Rees Evans has been active in Ukip in South Wales for some time | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
now. Not a senior figure in the party but he has stood for election | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
and he made headlines a couple of years ago after a bizarre exchange | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
outside Ukip 's office in Merthyr was filmed and put on the Internet | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
and in it he was asked about his views on homosexuality and ended up | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
making a claim that a male donkey had raped his stallion horse. Today | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
he described that as a bit of playful banter with a mischievous | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
activist but he did say it had been a mistake to make the comments and | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
he made his pitch for the party 's leadership. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
The other leaders are offering pretty | :14:54. | :14:54. | |
much the same thing, so if the membership of Ukip | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
want to see Ukip democratised and they want to see | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
power shifted to the membership, they want to see a reason to invite | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
their friends and family to join Ukip, they want to see us grow, they | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
want to see is equipped to take on the enemy, | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
John Rees Evans is now one of eight candidates in the running. Others | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
are far more high-profile than him. The best-known are Paul Nuttall and | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
Suzanne Evans and I think a lot of the focus in this contest will be on | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
those two because it really goes to the question of where does Ukip want | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
to position itself now? Should it try to appeal to voters in | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
traditional Conservative areas? Suzanne Evans is a former Tory and | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
seen as best suited to do that. Or should the party look at Labour | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
voters in former industrial areas. Many would see Paul Nuttall as the | :15:47. | :15:47. | |
better fit for that. The man in charge of Britain's Rail | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
network has told BBC Wales he can't guarantee the South Wales Mainline | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
will be electrified Sir Peter Hendy, the Chairman | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
of Network Rail was speaking on a visit to a rail | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
contractor in Cardiff. Network Rail says the ambition | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
is to electrify the line to Swansea by 2024, but business leaders | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
in the city are concerned the work They are newer, faster, electrified | :16:04. | :16:22. | |
trains, planned to run between London and South Wales. They are due | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
to arrive in Cardiff by 2019 and in Swansea by 2024. But some in the | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
city are concerned. Electrification may not arrive. Because of what they | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
see as a lack of detail and public commitment to the scheme there. Now, | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
the man responsible for the entire electrification programme and every | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
public rail track in Britain says he cannot guarantee the roll-out. Will | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
the line be electrified to Swansea? It certainly will be done this side | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
of March 2019, which is when the five-year funding period for the | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Railway goes up till. Beyond that, it is a matter for the Welsh | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Government, for the national government, but the trains will be | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
there and people's experience will be transformed by those trains. So | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
it is for politicians, you cannot make a guarantee. Network Rail is | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
now a public corporation, a nationalised industry. Our money | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
comes from government and it will be for politicians to make a decision | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
about what is funded in the next period. Business leaders and | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
politicians in Swansea and the surrounding areas say | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
electrification is vital to the growth of their local economies. It | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
is shocking. Absolutely shocking. Yes, I think people from Cardiff | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
onwards, anyone looking to travel from Cardiff to Swansea, the wider | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
implications for the Valley lines, this needs to happen and it is | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
incredibly important the government and the Welsh Secretary stepped up | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
to the plate now to secure this. The Welsh Government says any delay is | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
unacceptable and the responsibility for the funding rests with the UK | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Government. The UK Government Department for Transport says | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
ensuring passengers get the improved services they need is a top | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
priority. And this is a complex project that takes time. One Network | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Rail says is already delivering economic benefits. Three quarters of | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
the engineers working in the Severn Tunnel during the recent closure | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
will Welsh. Many former miners and steelworkers. And firms like this, T | :18:32. | :18:40. | |

The family of a Cardiff woman missing for nine months say | :19:48. | :20:00. | |
the way the police have investigated her disappearance has | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
57-year-old Lorraine Ridout vanished in January. | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
Despite searches of the River Taff and two family properties, | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
police have yet to find any clues to her disappearance. | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
With just a few photographs to remind her of happier times, every | :20:10. | :20:28. | |
hour is agony for Christine. It is nine months now since her mother | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
vanished. I never met anyone who dislikes my mum really. She had a | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
big heart. She likes to help everyone, my mum. 57-year-old | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
Lorraine Ridout disappeared after going to visit a friend. I thought | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
she had stayed at my auntie is because she has done that before. It | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
is one I got home the next night that I was starting to worry and I | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
noticed the handbag, she had not taken her phone. Since then, her | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
family have helped lead a surge of the river bank near her home and | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
specialist teams have trawled the river but after months of | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
investigation, last week, her home and another family home was searched | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
by police. They have said, initially, you are suspects because | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
80% of the time it can be someone in the family. We accepted that. I have | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
attended meetings and they said, you are not a suspect and then Monday, | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
last week, then he turned up with a warrant to search the property. And | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
we were asked to leave within half an hour. So yes, from that point of | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
view, it is not good and I don't really know how the police expect me | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
to work with them after this. South Wales Police have issued a statement | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
saying as yet Lorraine 's disappearance is unexplained. But | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
they have grave concerns for her. They are still convinced the answers | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
lie in this part of the city and are appealing for anyone with | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
information to come forward. This evening they said they had nothing | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
further to add. But her daughter Christine says digging up the garden | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
at this stage of the investigation has been traumatic and the family | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
are now considering moving away. Gareth Bale is among the candidates | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
for the World Footballer of the Year Award, known | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
as the Ballon d'Or. The Welsh star is currently the only | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
British player on the list. It follows his success | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
at the Euros this summer. It is for moments like this that | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
Wales's best player finds himself on the Ballon d'Or, | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
a short list of the world's best. Gareth Bale has been | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
nominated before but he's had His performances helping Wales | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
to the semifinals of Euro 2016 and his success at Real Madrid, | :22:39. | :22:59. | |
where he secured a second Champions League title in three | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
years, meant his place Getting on the list is one thing, | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
but winning it is quite another. It's been dominated over the last | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
few years by Gareth Bale's team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
and Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who won the award last year | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
for a record fifth time. In fact, the last time anyone other | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
than Lionel Messi or Cristiano No Welsh player has ever won the | :23:18. | :23:33. | |
prize but back in 1959, a sit in Welsh player came third. John | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
Charles. This year 's list will also be cut to a top three before the | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
winner will be announced at an awards ceremony in January. There is | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
no doubt it has been another stellar season for Gareth Bale but the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
competition against the best in the world could not be tougher. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |

getting up to 16 Celsius by the time we get to the middle of the week. | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
Good news if you do not like the chilly weather. Today has been | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
chilly and cloudy thanks to this front which brought with it quite a | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
bit of cloud and some rain as well. Through tonight, we do still have | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
some rain but tomorrow we can look forward to some mist and fog patches | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
first thing, followed by some bright weather. We do have this rain mainly | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
across parts of the South and West. Further north and east, dry with | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
some clear skies and the temperatures are responding. Low | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
single figures under the clear skies. Underneath the cloud, | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
temperatures in double figures still. Tomorrow, we are still | :25:34. | :25:42. | |
dragging in air from the east, so it is still cold but it is blocking | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
this weather system from coming in. It should be a largely dry a story. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
First thing tomorrow morning, we do have some mist and fog around but | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
that will lift and it should brighten up. The best of the | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
sunshine across the North. Further south, it is cloudy with limited | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
amounts of bright weather and the cloud might be thick enough to | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
produce the odd spot of rain. Those temperatures tomorrow still chilly. | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
But around where they should be for this time of year. Through tomorrow | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
night, fairly quiet. We will see quite a bit of cloud around, some | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
mist and fog but not as chilly as tonight. We will steal loads of -- | :26:22. | :26:30. | |
low temperatures of eight Celsius to 12 Celsius. On Wednesday, this | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
weather front is coming in pretty quickly. High pressure building and | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
then we are into a westerly flow. Much milder air moving in and you | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
will certainly notice the difference. First thing on Wednesday | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
morning we do have that cold weather front bringing quite a bit of cloud | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
and a little bit of rain but by the afternoon it is looking much drier | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
with limited amounts of bright weather. Temperatures getting up to | :26:54. | :27:06. | |
15 Celsius if lucky. It was a chilly start of the working week today. | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
Quite a bit of cloud around and some rain but as we go through the week, | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
we can look forward to some sunny spells and certainly turning milder. | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
You will need the umbrella on Wednesday and then you can put it | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
away and you can put the coats away. The headlines from the BBC. The | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
