That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Tonight, the pressure on the NHS this winter. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
It's seen some of its busiest days ever and is facing | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
There has been an increase in children's admissions. And also the | :00:10. | :00:24. | |
elderly who can't go back to their home. Staff in this department | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
adding they are feeling the strain. The NHS government and health board | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
insist winter plans are holding up. Chelsea Manning was jailed | :00:36. | :00:48. | |
for 35 years for leaking Her Pembrokeshire mother | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
says she's overjoyed. President Obama commuted her | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
sentence, and she'll soon be freed. Farming outside the | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Europe's single market. One union warns of a "perfect | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
storm in the making." The Welsh government is accused | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
of negligence over the way it handled air pollution concerns | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
from Wales' largest And jumping or climbing | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
on buildings, it's a new sport. Why one club is teaching free | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
running alongside gymnastics. The NHS in Wales is facing | :01:18. | :01:26. | |
exceptional challenges this winter. That's according to the head | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
of the health service He says the last month has seen some | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
of the busiest days ever faced by hospital emergency units | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
and the Welsh Ambulance Service. Let's get the latest now from our | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
health correspondent Owain Clarke. Welcome to one of Britain's busiest | :01:42. | :01:59. | |
A departments at Wales biggest hospital. Since midnight staff have | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
seen 320 patients. When they're really busy, they can see up to 60 | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
patients each and every hour. The figures out today suggested there | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
had been a deterioration in the performance of A departments | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
across Wales in the early part of the winter but what does that tell | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
us? Especially when the boss of the NHS in Wales warns that the system | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
is facing exceptional challenges? Winter or summer, rain or shine, | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
it's rarely quiet here. Staff and Britain's biggest A department I | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
used to working under pressure but they've been busier than ever. We | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
have experienced a 2% increase in attendance compared to last year and | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
that's been predominantly with children. We have seen an increase | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
in children's admissions and also with the elderly. The elderly that | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
have fallen but can't go back to their home. They are overrun. And | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
when the seat you, they are great. I've had no problems and I've been | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
in and out of this place a few times, I'll tell you. They are | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
certainly busy but they still have time for you. And introduce | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
themselves by name. The upshot is described as extraordinary pressure. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
Take a look at this map. On Christmas day, most of these places | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
were quiet, circled in green. Two days later, admissions soared. New | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
Year's Day was the busiest on record for the Welsh ambulance service. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Look at the red on the map, most hospitals were at the highest state | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
of alert meaning they were facing extreme pressure. So, how do they | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
respond? When we moved escalation level format, we look at where do we | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
have space? Where is the space we wouldn't traditionally use? Let's | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
use that space, let's ensure we get the discharge process in place, we | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
are clearing patients by midday. Let's look at the additional | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
capacity we can use. And we have a large number of plans that we are | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
already implementing to improve capacity and the flow through the | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
system. A similar across Wales. Several health boards have had to | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
redirect patients from one hospital to another at times of spikes in | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
demand. Many have also reported a big increase in the most urgent | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
category of patients. But several say they are preventing planned | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
operations from being spent 400 beds are available across Wales when | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
things are very busy. Here at the heart of the Welsh government's HQ, | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
officials can monitor the situation in each and every hospital in Wales | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
minute by minute. And it happens in this room. When I visited, this was | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
the situation. Really busy hospitals just about managing. Twice a day, | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
conference calls take place involving health board bosses to | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
discuss ways to ease the strain. The boss of the entire NHS in Wales says | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
system is coping. We remain a system under a lot of pressure. I think the | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
fact we've come into this winter with an ambulance service that has | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
been performing more resiliently and has really helped us in our | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
response, they have maintained a really good level of response. We | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
have kept our social care delays low, which is positive, but there is | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
more to go out. Staff have done a great job to manage, whether in GP | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
settings, in social care or on the hospital site and in A but it is | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
important we focus on the demands on an ongoing basis. A shortage of | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
staff and beds is making a difficult situation even worse, bosses say. | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
We've lost 40% of bed numbers in Wales in the last couple of years. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
When there is the surge, you don't have the capacity to cope. That is a | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
knock on. Even when you're back to more normal levels, you have the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
backlog because he can't get people out of hospital because of social | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
care cuts, because of difficulties of getting people back in their | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
environment. The priority the staff is to make sure patients get treated | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
safely, even when the pressure's really on. The problem is the | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
strain, year on year, shows little signs of easing. | :06:24. | :06:24. | |
So, Owain, do today's figures tell us anything | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
about whether the pressures on the Welsh NHS are any different | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Well, generally speaking, I think it is fair to say the simple answer is | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
they are broadly similar. I was spoken to the doctors to the BMA, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and their members, wherever they worked, England, Wales, the rest of | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
the UK, the same as their message. It's really tough out there. Leaked | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
figures in England suggested that performance in A deteriorated | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
quite rapidly there during the first week of the New Year. The very time | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
the boss of the NHS in Wales is saying that the system had | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
significant problems. But we won't get to judge the impact of that | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
until the next set of official statistics are out in February. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Historically speaking, it's fair to say that the performance in Wales | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
has been worse than in England. The Nuffield trust, an independent think | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
tank, says there might be a mismatch between the number of beds in | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
hospitals and the demand for them. But part of the reason might be that | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
the Welsh population, as a whole, is older, poorer, and less healthy than | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
across the border. Thank you very much. | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Chelsea Manning's family in Pembrokeshire say they're | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
overjoyed by the news that she will be freed in May. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
Barack Obama has announced that Manning's 35-year sentence | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
for leaking military documents will be commuted, or reduced. | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Tonight President-elect Donald Trump's Press Secretary has said | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Mr Trump is troubled by President Obama's decision. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
With the reaction, here's Teleri Glyn Jones. | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
With three days left before he leaves office, President Obama has | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
commuted the sentence of Chelsea Manning, the former Army private who | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
gave thousands of military documents to WikiLeaks. The leak was one of | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
the biggest breaches of classified material in US history. For some, | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
Chelsea Manning is a hero who expose wrongdoing in the military. For | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
others, she is a traitor that could encourage other acts of espionage. | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
She was born Bradley Manning in Oklahoma but spent most of in | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
Pembrokeshire. James went to school with Chelsea. She was very | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
interested in computers and very political. A lot of people are and | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
you don't expect them to stand up and make that big step forward but | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
themselves out there in that sort of position. After leaving school, | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
Chelsea Manning joined the US Army and was posted to a rock in 2009 but | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
was found guilty for years later of espionage by leaking three quarters | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
of a million documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Private Manning was sentenced to 35 years and a maximum security | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
military prison. Last night, that sentence was commuted by Barack | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
Obama in one of his last acts as president. And the family home, the | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
news that Chelsea Manning will be released in May has been welcomed. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
I've spoken to Kevin Fox, Chelsea's uncle, who said they are over the | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
moon. In a statement, Susan Manning, her mother, says she now hopes | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
Chelsea will be able to get on with the rest of her life and added there | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
will always be a welcome for higher here. Family and friends have kept | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
in close contact with Chelsea Manning throughout her imprisonment | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
in the USA. One school friend visited her in prison and has always | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
aborted her. When I heard the news last night that President Obama has | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
commuted Chelsea's sentence, my personal reaction was utter joy. | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
When you're faced with a 35 year prison term, it is an incredibly | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
daunting prospect. I cannot imagine being in Chelsea's shoes. The | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
priority now is when Chelsea is liberated is to make a plan for her | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
welfare. Nobody is seeking to downplay the enormity and zero and | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
solve a crime but anybody looking into this can see this is far from | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
straightforward, it is complicated. There have been can serious concerns | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
about Chelsea Manning's emotional and physical well being expressed by | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
family and friends and I think President Obama has taken a very | :10:33. | :10:43. | |
human decision. It isn't the pardon some campaigners have hoped for but | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
having been expected to be in prison until 2045, Manning will now be | :10:46. | :10:46. | |
released in May. BBC Wales understands Wrexham's | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
new prison, HMP Berwyn, will accept its first inmates | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
on the 27th of February. Work began on the category C | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
men's prison at Wrexham When full, it will house up to 2,000 | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
prisoners and will be The unemployment rate | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
in Wales has risen slightly It's up 0.1% since | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
December to 4.4% %. 66,000 people over the age of 16, | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
are out of work here. The UK rate has remained | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
the same at 4.8%. A sex offender from Clydach | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
in the Swansea Valley who poses a risk to young girls has been | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
spared a jail sentence. A judge said it would not | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
properly protect the public. 52-year-old Bernard Merrells | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
was arrested after being caught sending explicit messages online | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
to who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, but he was actually speaking | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
to a member of the public posing Bernard Merrells arrived at court | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
today. And and and and after pleading guilty to inciting sexual | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
activity with a child. In March 2015, the former supermarket worker | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
sent sexually explicit messages online. He believed he was | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
contacting a 13-year-old girl. In fact, he was talking to a member of | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
the public, posing as a child, cold Roxy. The conversation took place on | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
a dating website. The chat log was later posted on an online blog which | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
claims to expose suspected paedophiles. In the messages, | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
Bernard Merrells asks the girl if she has any photos. When the request | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
is refused, the 50-year-old man offers to be her boyfriend. As the | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
chat continues, Bernard Merrells asks if she's ever seen a nude man. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
She says no. He promises to send pictures of himself naked. The court | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
heard Bernard Merrells sent a number of naked photos and indecent video | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
of himself. We know from the requests we've had, in terms of data | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
and evidence, the grooming process which in the past has happened in | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
ways that could have been in a local park or school in the past, we are | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
learning most grooming, the majority, is taking place online. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
The judge said if Bernard Merrells were to receive treatment for sex | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
offenders in prison, he'd need to give him an immediate four-year | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
sentence, something which she said the legal guidelines don't allow for | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
in this case. The judge said it would be more constructive to give | :13:18. | :13:27. | |
him a suspended sentence and a rehabilitation and to register as a | :13:28. | :13:28. | |
sex offender. This is Wales' largest | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
coal-fired power station. The Welsh government is accused | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
of negligence over the way it And it's a newly recognised sport, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
how free running is being taught alongside gymnastics, | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
in the hope of increasing That's how one Welsh farming union | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
has described a combination of Brexit and a trade deal | :13:46. | :13:58. | |
with New Zealand, they're worried, of course, | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
about the possibility of competition But what will leaving | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
the European Union and the single Could there be opportunities, | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
as well as challenges? Rebecca Roberts is 23 and has her | :14:08. | :14:27. | |
future mapped out in front of her. At least she thought she had. Taking | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
on in time the family's sheep and beef farm. Brexit has brought new | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
uncertainties. It may well be your generation that will have to sort | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
this out. What do you make of that? I don't know if I will be able to | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
stay on the family farm. I'll probably have to diversify or go out | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
to work. I don't know. It's worrying but we have to do something. And the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
whole of the Welsh farming industry will have to do something, one way | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
or another quiz Brexit poses questions. There's no doubt Brexit | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
will challenge every sector of the Welsh economy, and agriculture more | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
than most. The Common Agriculture Policy is one of the pillars on | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
which the common market and the EU was built. In the future, Welsh | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
farmers will have to learn to live without it. 90% of Welsh | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
agricultural exports go into the EU, with a value of more than ?270 | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
million. Under the EU's, agriculture policy, Welsh farms get ?336 million | :15:32. | :15:40. | |
in direct subsidies. For nothing to change, we will have to have | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
unfettered access to European markets and guarantee UK or Welsh | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
government subsidies at the level currently paid by Europe. | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Uncertainties which farmers here know would prompt some tough | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
talking. Most of our produce is going into Europe. Theresa May and | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
her negotiating team will have to have this in mind. Nobody knows what | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
is going to happen, do they? Everybody is working day to day. | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
Challenges, but what about opportunities? Brexit backers talk | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
about winning new markets away from Europe, and shaping a British or | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
Welsh agriculture policy rather than one which also has to suit France, | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
Greece or Italy. Rebecca's father is president of the National union of | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
farmers in Wales. Getting a trail deal with a country is one Dale. | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
Getting a proper market is another. We have to look at helping us. The | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
British government has made it clear it will be positive going into the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
negotiations with the European Union because we do need the broadest | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
possible access to the single market. Don't forget the reach of | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Welsh agriculture goes way beyond those who are directly employed in | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
it. Culturally, linguistically, the industry is bound into the fabric of | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
rural Wales. There is a lot at stake here. | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
The Welsh government has been accused of "negligence" | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
in its handling of concerns about air pollution from Aberthaw | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
In September last year, the European Court of Justice ruled | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
that the plant had been emitting illegal levels of air pollution. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Now Plaid Cymru says it's found out there's been no correspondence | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
between Welsh ministers and Natural Resources Wales | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
Our environment correspondent Steffan Messenger reports. | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
It is one of Wales' largest power stations. For over 40 years, | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
Aberthaw has been generating electricity from burning coal. | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
Enough to meet the needs of some 3 million homes. But in September last | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
year, EU judges ruled that it was also pumping out too much air | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
pollution. Double the legal amount of toxic nitrogen oxides which can | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
harm people's health. The case was brought against the UK with the | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Westminster government ordered to pay legal costs. As the plant in | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
Wales air quality measurement lies with the Welsh government. Now Plaid | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
Cymru says it has discovered via a Freedom of information request there | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
hasn't been a single letter or e-mail sent between Welsh ministers | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
and an RW on this issue since the court ruling. I'm flabbergasted. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
They should have been in there straightaway after the decision was | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
made, this was illegal commissions and Wales, polluting the air, | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
polluting people in Wales. Natural Resources Wales told the commission | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
today it is assessing Aberthaw's permit, which it needs to operate | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
the plant. We will vary the permit, based on the European Court | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
judgment, and we seek information from them to allow us to do that, so | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
we are currently waiting for that information. Environmental groups | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
say all involved need to pick up the pace. This is causing about 400 | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
premature deaths every year. It really is not good enough to be | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
leaving it as long as this. It needs to be treated with a level of | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
urgency that doesn't seem to be being shown. The Welsh government | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
told us it was committed to improving air quality across Wales | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
and it was urging RW even to cut emissions from this site. It has | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
said it plans to downgrade its operations here from April focusing | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
on generating electricity at times where there is peak demand. The UK | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
government wants to see all coal-fired power stations closed by | :19:57. | :19:57. | |
2025. It's a test of extreme | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
individual endurance, the challenge for one Welsh sailor | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
is nearly over, Tomos After 73 long days alone on the | :20:04. | :20:20. | |

of finishing the round-the-world race, the Vandee Globe, and is | :20:23. | :20:24. | |

was OK and your ship is all right. Everything is fine, looking forward | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
to getting to dry land again. He hasn't got long to wait, | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
he's expected to finish The sailor, born in Bangor, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
is now just 33 nautical miles behind the leader, | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
with less than 300 miles to go. It's remarkable that Thomson | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
is still in this race, he's been competing with a damaged | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
boat for weeks, and has made-up nearly 900 miles | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
since the end of the December. Organisers of the Champions League | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
final in Cardiff in June are looking Cardiff hosted the Uefa Super Cup | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
three years ago, now the Football Association of Wales | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
wants people to help with transport, marketing, ticketing | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
and dealing with VIPs. Another 500 volunteers could also | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
perform in a pre-match ceremony at the Principality Stadium, | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
which will be re-named the National Stadium | :21:23. | :21:25. | |

frame, losing narrowly 6-5. It's a newly-recognised sport, | :21:49. | :22:04. | |
where people jump over improbable obstacles and move | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
from rooftop to rooftop. Elements of free-running are now | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
being taught alongside gymnastics, it's helped boost numbers | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
at the Valleys Gymnastics It's an idea praised by seven-time | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
Commonwealth Games medallist, Frankie Jones, but some are warning, | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
combining both sports Run, jump or climb freely over | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
any type of terrain. This is parkour, or free running, | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
now a recognised sport in its own right, taught and trained | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
for at a custom-built Similar elements to the sport | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
of free running have been introduced at this gymnastics club | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
in Crumlin near Newbridge. Attendence here is up, | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
particularly amongst boys, most of whom, they say, | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
would have otherwise lost interest. Probably 200 young people coming | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
through every week that we know wouldn't be coming through these | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
doors if it were only offering If people said, come | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
along and try gymnastics, You have to put loads | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
of effort into it. Would you recommend | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
it to your friends? I've got a few of my | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
friends coming here. Frankie Jones won gold for Wales | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
in rhythmic gymnastics She has praise for the work here | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
in appealing to more young people. It's just kind of a different | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
mindset for them to buy And then actually realise | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
how much fun it is. I think gymnastics has a level | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
for any person to get As soon as you get through the door | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
and you see the bouncy floors So, seeing them all go | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
mental and having fun One of the coaches here has | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
a background in free running but they're keen to stress this | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
is freestyle gymnastics, albeit with a few extra tricks, | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
not something they encourage Back in Cardiff, professional free | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
runners say there is an important distinction to be made | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
with their sport and Knowing how to do it safely | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
and with respect for the outdoor environment is what they teach | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
here with separate It's all about learning risk, | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
and figuring out what you can do, And you kind of can't quite do | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
that in an environment What both sports do agree | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
on is encouraging more young people to take part in exercise, | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
whichever of these two Let's get the weather forecast, | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
Derek is with us tonight. Snow on the beach at Havea | :24:35. | :24:46. | |
on the Costa Blanca. The settled weather set | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
to continue into next week. Pressure is high abut high pressure | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
doesn't always bring sunshine. Grey and cloudy in Porthcawl | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
today with a high of 6. A few spots of drizzle | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
otherwise dry. And in the south and south-east, | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
the cloud may clear with temperatures falling as low | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
as 2 or 3. Under the cloud, temperatures | :25:17. | :25:26. | |
a few degrees higher. So here's the picture | :25:27. | :25:28. | |
for 8 in the morning. However, parts of the south | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
and west may be brighter During the day most | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
of the country cloudy and dry. Some sunshine in the south may | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
spread a little further north 10 on the north and west coast | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
with light or gentle winds. In Flintshire tomorrow, | :25:52. | :26:06. | |
grey and mostly dry. Dry, bar the odd spot | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
of drizzle in the north. Sunny in parts of | :26:09. | :26:29. | |
the south and west. As we head into the weekend, high | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
pressure still the dominant feature. Drifting away to the east but then | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
another high develops So the outlook for the weekend | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
mainly dry and settled. Mind you, it will turn colder | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
with overnight frost. It now looks as if the dry, settled | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
spell will last until next Tuesday. A reminder of tonight's | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
top news stories. Boris Johnson has warned EU leaders | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
not to give the UK, what he called, "punishment beatings, | :27:00. | :27:02. | |

come after Prime Minister Theresa May set out her Brexit strategy | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
in a speech yesterday. It included leaving | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
the EU single market. From all of us here, | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
thanks for watching, | :27:18. | :27:25. |
