Paul Clement will be the third manager to take charge at the

Liberty Stadium just this season. Tonight the club say they have

agreed to an half year deal. This will be his first time at the helm

in the Premier League but he does come with some big names on his CV.

He is leaving Bayern Munich, you has won the cup with Real Madrid and a

Premier League title with Chelsea. He was in charge of Derby County

last season but was sacked after eight months. Supporters hope he is

the man who can return the Swans to their old style. We have lost only a

little bit in the last 18 months and what Paul does is he fit that

profile of the Brendan Rodgers type. The 44 euros was first interviewed

for the job at the liberty back in October along with former Manchester

United assistant Ryan Giggs who was this time the early favourite. Then

the club went American Bob Bradley. Paul Clement won't have much to do

to beat his record with seven defeat in 11 games and conceding 29 goals

and sacked after just 85 days. Swansea are currently bottom of the

Premier League, four points adrift of safety. Tomorrow they face

Crystal Palace and it will be a chance for Paul Clement to see

exactly what he has taken on and whether as some pundits say he will

have to be a medical worker to change the club's fortunes. --

Here's our Economics Correspondent, Sarah Dickins.

James Hopkins makes the final touches to a newly built house going

onto the property market in Cardiff. This time last year James was an

apprentice at a building in Port Talbot. Work levels reduced and he

was anxious about his prospects and was made redundant. It was

horrendous. I was coming home from work, not knowing if I was going in

the next day because they were on about closing shop. After three

months and implied he was taken on by a construction firm and is now

starting a three-year degree course. His employers are paying. It is one

construction firm starting major projects in Wales this year and not

just houses. It has won the ?80 million contract to expand the

innovation Centre at Cardiff University with two new buildings.

The company is committed to using local workers and suppliers. The

idea of the innovation centres to develop you industries in Wales that

we can't yet imagine. The fourth Industrial Revolution has Billy Zane

's and represents a period that we are going through with it is going

to be a rapid move towards automation. We will have to design

new ways of doing things and design new products and manufacture more.

The new site in Cardiff is one project that it's hoped will bring a

better future to Wales. Initially there will be in prime and for

construction workers but it's also hoped that from this Brownfield

sites new high-value industries will emerge. With so much uncertainty in

economies around the world the challenge for Wales is to develop

new industries with new opportunities but as well as that it

is to have an environment that people want to work in and that can

mean good in the bash infrastructure, roads and good

housing. With a degree in his belt Jamie should be able to earn

above-average in Wales but at the moment one quarter of jobs you are

low-paid and its acknowledged that what Wales needs are better paid

opportunities and that is one big challenge for the year ahead.

Not such a good afternoon for Newport County.

Let's see what the weather has in store.

It's been a beautiful day. A lot of sunshine but cold out and about and

it will be a cold night. Widespread frost forming and the potential for

icy stretches. You will need to take care on untreated services. Cloud

will increase in parts of the North. Temperatures getting down to minus

one Celsius. Tomorrow high-pressure still in charge but this weather

front is sneaking in and that will bring quite a bit of cloud. Less

chance of seeing the blue skies that we saw today. First thing tomorrow,

cloud increasing from the north. A chilly start to the day. The best of

any bright as across the South and West. Cloudier in the North and

where we have the clout there is potential for some rain. Not feeling

as cold as today. Tomorrow night we will see more cloud around compared

with night. The cloud thickening to produce a little bit of drizzle. It

should be a frost free night. Temperatures now lower than for

Celsius. As we head into Wednesday this weather front will push

southwards and clear through and behind it it should become much

drier and even brighter. First thing on Wednesday morning we will see

more cloud around. A little bit of drizzle and becoming much drier by

the time we get into the afternoon. We'll be back with our next update

after the BBC news at 10:00pm. From all of us on the

programme, good evening.
