:01:41. > :01:43.It comes after chickens and ducks with bird flu were discovered
:01:44. > :01:46.at a property in Carmarthenshire earlier this week,

:02:50. > :02:54.stay here until the end of February at least. For me until your lifetime
:02:55. > :02:59.poultry keeper it is devastating, really. It is on par with foot and
:03:00. > :03:03.mouth. I have lived through two foot and mouth outbreaks in poultry as is
:03:04. > :03:08.the same. These birds are irreplaceable. They are, a lot of
:03:09. > :03:12.them, the result of two lifetimes of reading. I can go out and buy
:03:13. > :03:19.another bunch of birds to replace them or had another bunch. They are
:03:20. > :03:24.gone. The extension of restrictions on keeping poultry comes after a
:03:25. > :03:27.case of avian flu was discovered, yesterday a domestic flock of
:03:28. > :03:32.chickens and ducks have to be culled. A sequel on that protection
:03:33. > :03:34.zone has been set up around the area as well as the chemical mutter
:03:35. > :03:39.surveillance on which aims to stop the disease from spreading. The same
:03:40. > :03:45.strain of bird flu was also discovered if Llanelli before
:03:46. > :03:47.Christmas, at another turkey farm in Lincolnshire. Infected birds have
:03:48. > :03:53.arrived in Great Britain, we know that from the findings in Wales
:03:54. > :03:57.England and Scotland now, and we can control any of that. But what we can
:03:58. > :04:02.do is everything possible to protect our own domestic flock and bringing
:04:03. > :04:09.them indoors is the best way to do that. Ian Williams is a poultry farm
:04:10. > :04:12.and can have up to 200,000 chickens in his sixth sense here. Cameras
:04:13. > :04:17.were not allowed onto the farm but has to film from a distance as he is
:04:18. > :04:22.taking every precaution possible to stop avian flu reaching the site. We
:04:23. > :04:27.are only allowing essential visitors onto the site so we have to have a
:04:28. > :04:31.few deliveries for the chickens and Solares after doing essential
:04:32. > :04:37.deliveries like that are allowed on site but no other visitors. It is a
:04:38. > :04:42.massive risk to me that my livelihood will be affected if I got
:04:43. > :04:47.avian flu on this farm. Those who keep more than 50 birds are required
:04:48. > :04:49.to sign up to a poultry register but tonight the Welsh government is
:04:50. > :04:54.urging those with fewer birds to sign up, too. It is said they should
:04:55. > :04:58.look out for any symptoms which includes birds not laying eggs or
:04:59. > :05:04.eating or any swelling on the birds but they have reiterated there is no
:05:05. > :05:09.risk to human health. This strain of avian flu which we call 85 and eight
:05:10. > :05:12.has never been reported in a human, there have been no cases in humans
:05:13. > :05:17.and that is supported by Public Health Wales evidence, however it is
:05:18. > :05:23.very appealing, highly pathogenic to her birds. That is why it is very
:05:24. > :05:29.important that we get on top of the disease but in terms of public
:05:30. > :05:32.health this is of negligible risk. With news tonight that over 1
:05:33. > :05:37.million ducks will be culled in France over the coming months Elaine
:05:38. > :05:43.fears. A -- full-scale outbreak could come from across the Channel.
:05:44. > :05:45.The advice is to disinfect and keep movement to a minimum if you come
:05:46. > :05:48.into contact with wild birds. Norway isn't in the European Union -

:05:52. > :05:57.has flown to Norway's capital Oslo tonight -
:05:58. > :05:59.to understand how the EU Our reporter Daniel
:06:00. > :06:03.Davies is in Oslo. He's been looking at
:06:04. > :06:07.Norway's relationship Is this how our relationship with
:06:08. > :06:15.the EU will be after Brexit? It's not a member of
:06:16. > :06:20.the European Union. But trades freely with Europe
:06:21. > :06:24.as a member of the single market. It has to pay financially
:06:25. > :06:26.for that privilege - and must accept the right of EU
:06:27. > :06:32.citizens to live and work here. It also must accept EU laws -
:06:33. > :06:34.but has little say Norway's single market agreement
:06:35. > :06:41.doesn't include fisheries - the country's biggest industry
:06:42. > :06:44.after oil and gas. They've tried to protect it
:06:45. > :06:46.from European competition, but it faces pressure,
:06:47. > :06:50.from countries like Poland. And Carwyn Jones says the same
:06:51. > :06:57.is true for Wales' economy. Those who want the softest
:06:58. > :06:59.Brexit possible look Others might think Norway's
:07:00. > :07:06.relationship with the EU is still too close for Brexit
:07:07. > :07:19.Britain. Dan, what is the First Minister
:07:20. > :07:24.hoping to wear? We are used to seeing him overseas
:07:25. > :07:27.on trade missions trying to encourage foreign businesses to
:07:28. > :07:30.invest in Wales, this time he said he is here to learn about Bobby's
:07:31. > :07:36.relationship with the EU, he has meetings lined up with government
:07:37. > :07:39.ministers, not the Prime Minister or Foreign Minister but junior
:07:40. > :07:43.ministers to talk about Brexit over the next three days and you'll be
:07:44. > :07:50.hearing about those compromises that Norway has made and he said that the
:07:51. > :07:58.single market is vital not just to Norway but to Wales and we should be
:07:59. > :08:00.making colonisers, two, including an immigration and if people have a job
:08:01. > :08:03.then they should continue to have the right to work here after Brexit.
:08:04. > :08:08.In Norway by and large people are happy with that situation but
:08:09. > :08:12.whether they would be in Wales, that remains to be seen.
:08:13. > :08:20.And Carwyn Jones has been giving his reaction to the resignation of
:08:21. > :08:24.Britain's ambassador to the EU. Yes, Ivan Rogers, Carlin Jones said
:08:25. > :08:28.he met with him last week and that he was completely neutral and that
:08:29. > :08:33.your point diplomats to be told what you need to know, not what you want
:08:34. > :08:38.to hear. This follows a row about why Ivan Rogers has had to leave his
:08:39. > :08:45.job. But Carwyn Jones, I think his visit here though the underlying the
:08:46. > :08:51.fact that it is more than six months after the referendum of use utility
:08:52. > :08:52.options for the future and with negotiations due to start it is not
:08:53. > :08:54.clear what the future holds. A former soldier from
