:00:38. > :00:43.the end of an era, as production stops at Avana bakeries.

:00:44. > :00:46.The retiring Archbishop of Wales says he still believes

:00:47. > :00:50.the change to the law on organ donation here was wrong.

:00:51. > :00:52.I wasn't against organ donation at all.

:00:53. > :00:58.I was just against the method by which they were going about it.

:00:59. > :01:03.Tonight we're in Las Vegas as Lee Selby aims to defend his IBF

:01:04. > :01:32.The families of three men who were driving home to Wales

:01:33. > :01:35.when they were killed by a runaway truck in Bath have told a court

:01:36. > :01:37.about the life-changing impact of the crash.

:01:38. > :01:39.Stephen Vaughan and Phillip Allen from Swansea, and Robert Parker

:01:40. > :01:42.from Cwmbran died alongside four year old Mitzi Steady when they were

:01:43. > :01:46.The owner of the haulage company, Matthew Gordon, and mechanic

:01:47. > :01:48.Peter Wood were jailed at Bristol Crown Court earlier

:01:49. > :02:04.This was the senior path in February 2015 after the brakes failed to work

:02:05. > :02:10.causing it to career out of control, devastating everything and its path.

:02:11. > :02:14.Tonight, Matthew Garden is starting a seven and a half year jail

:02:15. > :02:19.sentence for the manslaughter of for innocent lives. The judge described

:02:20. > :02:23.Gordon as a man who had showed more concerned for himself than for the

:02:24. > :02:27.public, a business owner who flouted the rules. Mechanic Peter Wood was

:02:28. > :02:39.spent five years and three months behind bars. The judge told him he

:02:40. > :02:41.should have known a casual attitude about safety risk the lives of

:02:42. > :02:43.others. We need to remember the devastation their gross negligence

:02:44. > :02:46.caused innocent lives and their families, as well as the deep impact

:02:47. > :02:50.this has had in the community at large, including the driver of the

:02:51. > :02:55.bus, the emergency services and all the passers-by who attended the

:02:56. > :02:59.scene. Phillip Allen from Swansea and Stephen Bannon were on business

:03:00. > :03:02.on the day of the crash. Stephen Bannon a professional chauffeur had

:03:03. > :03:09.been to pick them up as they made their way back to Wales, as they did

:03:10. > :03:13.so, there was nothing Stephen Vaughn could do to avoid a tipper truck

:03:14. > :03:17.which careered towards them. All three men were killed. The truck had

:03:18. > :03:21.also hit four-year-old Mitzi Steady, killing her as she tried to cross

:03:22. > :03:27.the road. Her grandmother suffered life changing injuries. They

:03:28. > :03:33.listened as a series of emotional victim statement impact where less

:03:34. > :03:37.than red. Sian Vaughn described when she had to go and identify her

:03:38. > :03:41.husband's body, the man she had married just six months before the

:03:42. > :03:45.crash. Speaking to the BBC after the trial, it she spoke to BBC about

:03:46. > :03:50.heartache and how she was deprived of a family of her own. If that was

:03:51. > :03:55.the case, we would have had a family by knowing which we have been

:03:56. > :04:01.denied. Whereas the owner of the company has gone on to have a child

:04:02. > :04:05.and has won on the way as well. I feel very upset over that, he has

:04:06. > :04:11.gone to have a life and mine has been taken away from me. Phillip

:04:12. > :04:15.Allen brings -- leads to children, his wife said he was his soul mate

:04:16. > :04:19.and the family had been looking forward to see him give his daughter

:04:20. > :04:23.away at their wedding but died before he could walk down the aisle.

:04:24. > :04:27.In her statement, she said her daughter's wedding day would be

:04:28. > :04:31.remembered as bittersweet and a very emotional day. Daniel will not get

:04:32. > :04:35.the chance to have his dad at his wedding. Robert Parker was married

:04:36. > :04:41.for 42 years and had one son, his wife said their lives can never be

:04:42. > :04:45.the same and she feels extremely angry that the reckless actions of

:04:46. > :04:49.others took husband away from her, a truly amazing, clever, generous man.

:04:50. > :04:54.As Gordon and Wood were driven away to prison, reporters outside were

:04:55. > :05:00.told the extent of both men's serious failings. Matthew Gordon had

:05:01. > :05:05.no chance that -- transport manager and flouted every regulation to

:05:06. > :05:09.ensure public safety. As a mechanic, Peter Wood signed off vehicles are

:05:10. > :05:12.safe when clearly they were not. The judge described the condition of the

:05:13. > :05:16.brakes on the vehicle which crashed as appalling and he said the

:05:17. > :05:20.failures of Gordon and would to maintain that vehicle for

:05:21. > :05:25.inexplicable. He said this was not a one-off but an accident waiting to

:05:26. > :05:29.happen which devastated the lives of so many families. Gordon and Wood

:05:30. > :05:35.were jailed for a total of 12 years and nine months.

:05:36. > :05:38.The Labour MP Jo Stevens has resigned as shadow Welsh secretary

:05:39. > :05:40.over Jeremy Corbyn's instruction that the party's MPs

:05:41. > :05:42.must vote to support the bill to trigger Brexit.

:05:43. > :05:45.In her resignation letter she said she was a passionate

:05:46. > :05:48.European and had been urged by her constituents

:05:49. > :05:50.in Cardiff Central to vote against the Article 50 bill.

:05:51. > :05:54.Our political correspondent, Arwyn Jones, is with me now.

:05:55. > :05:56.You have a copy of her resignation letter.

:05:57. > :06:08.It essentially comes down to her belief that she thinks Brexit is and

:06:09. > :06:13.will be a terrible mistake. This vote will be the most important ever

:06:14. > :06:18.for her as an MP and is an issue of principle conscious, many of her

:06:19. > :06:22.constituents have been in touch to urge her to vote in this way. She

:06:23. > :06:25.goes on to say it's been an honour and a privilege to serve as

:06:26. > :06:28.Secretary of State for Wales but carrying out that role has

:06:29. > :06:32.galvanised this belief infers that Wales will be worse off after

:06:33. > :06:37.Brexit. We have no one has been disquiet over Labour MPs because

:06:38. > :06:41.Jeremy Corbyn has decided to use the strongest, and he has, a three line

:06:42. > :06:45.whip to force them to back the small piece of legislation in the House

:06:46. > :06:49.which will trigger Brexit next week. She is not the first to resign over

:06:50. > :06:54.the issue but the most senior. It does mean that Labour once again is

:06:55. > :06:55.looking for a Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, the fifth time now

:06:56. > :06:57.since the general election in 2015. What's the reaction been

:06:58. > :07:03.to her resignation? We have heard from a former Labour

:07:04. > :07:07.Secretary of State who says she will be a big loss for the front bench

:07:08. > :07:11.and also criticising what he said was a lack of ambition and strategy

:07:12. > :07:14.from Labour over Brexit. We have heard from Jeremy Corbyn this

:07:15. > :07:20.evening and he says he understands why MPs like Jo Stevens are touring

:07:21. > :07:24.because they represent constituents who voted to remain in the European

:07:25. > :07:27.Union but he said that Labour has to respect the outcome of the

:07:28. > :07:31.referendum and mustn't do anything to the street that process. Thank

:07:32. > :07:32.you very much for that. -- frustrate.

:07:33. > :07:35.The leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies has

:07:36. > :07:37.demanded a public apology from the First Minister

:07:38. > :07:40.to be part of deciding Wales' Brexit strategy.

:07:41. > :07:42.Writing to Carwyn Jones, Mr Davies called the comment,

:07:43. > :07:44.made on the BBC's Wales Report programme, a "false

:07:45. > :07:49.A spokesman for the First Minister has described

:07:50. > :07:53.The public inquiry for the M4 relief road south of Newport

:07:54. > :07:56.is delayed by almost four months because traffic

:07:57. > :08:03.A pre-inquiry meeting was told today that congestion forecasts were LESS

:08:04. > :08:07.The inquiry was due to start in November

:08:08. > :08:10.but will now start at the end of February for the proposed

:08:11. > :08:13.BBC Wales understands a one-off pension contribution,

:08:14. > :08:17.could be made to Tata Steel workers in their fifties, if changes

:08:18. > :08:21.to the company's pension scheme are accepted.

:08:22. > :08:23.Unions will begin balloting members on Monday, on whether to move

:08:24. > :08:25.from the current final salary provisions, to a less

:08:26. > :08:29.Our business correspondent, Brian Meechan, is in

:08:30. > :08:41.Brian, what more do we know about this offer by Tata?

:08:42. > :08:48.It has emerged that up to ?10,000 will be paid into the pensions of

:08:49. > :08:55.older workers who are considering retiring early in order to get them

:08:56. > :08:59.to move onto this new scheme. They won't get ?10,000, it will depend on

:09:00. > :09:03.the length of service and how long they have been paying into the

:09:04. > :09:07.pension scheme. There is some hope amongst many people who would like

:09:08. > :09:10.to see this going ahead that this will in some way help make it a

:09:11. > :09:14.little bit better and a little bit easier for those who are having to

:09:15. > :09:18.decide ultimately when these ballots go out whether they are willing to

:09:19. > :09:25.accept as union members moving from a final scut -- salary scheme to a

:09:26. > :09:30.much less generous one which is tied to ?1 billion of funding coming from

:09:31. > :09:33.Tata to Port Talbot over eight years. The ballot is going out on

:09:34. > :09:37.Monday, the decision will still have to be made by union members but

:09:38. > :09:41.crucially Tata isn't bound by whatever decision is made by the

:09:42. > :09:44.members of the union. Thank you very much, Brian.

:09:45. > :09:46.Production has ended at Avana Bakeries in Newport tonight.

:09:47. > :09:49.The factory is to close after more than six decades in the city,

:09:50. > :09:54.Around 100 staff will lose their jobs, though some

:09:55. > :09:56.will work out their notice until the end of February.

:09:57. > :10:00.Owners Food Utopia say they've been unable to find a way to keep

:10:01. > :10:06.One of Newport's best known employers, but now workers

:10:07. > :10:10.leaving the production line for the last time.

:10:11. > :10:12.I've made some really good friends and I really am

:10:13. > :10:17.It's just a very sad atmosphere in there.

:10:18. > :10:23.Everybody's sad to leave and trying to find new jobs.

:10:24. > :10:33.It started in a shop in the 1800s, it grew to fill big factories

:10:34. > :10:41.At one time, over 1,000 employed at the Rogerstone factory,

:10:42. > :10:44.two million cakes made here since 1999.

:10:45. > :10:50.Others gave decades of service and more.

:10:51. > :10:55.I used to work like 80 hours a week up there.

:10:56. > :10:57.My grandmother worked here, my auntie worked here.

:10:58. > :11:02.It was guaranteed work up here all the time.

:11:03. > :11:08.We used to do Blackpool, Disneyland Paris, Tenby, everywhere.

:11:09. > :11:14.Now it's closing down, it's very sad to see it go.

:11:15. > :11:18.A turbulent recent history, a fire in 2001.

:11:19. > :11:21.But the business bounced back and won a big contract with Marks

:11:22. > :11:28.In 2011, it was sold by Premier Foods to the Two Sisters food group.

:11:29. > :11:31.The new owners lost that big supermarket contract and then sold

:11:32. > :11:37.the company again in 2014, hundreds lost their jobs.

:11:38. > :11:39.Current owner, Food Utopia, says it did everything it

:11:40. > :11:41.could to make the business a success, but it was

:11:42. > :11:47.The workers' union says it knows times have changed but has

:11:48. > :11:50.questioned how the company was run and whether it could have done more.

:11:51. > :11:51.Obviously people's tastes are changing.

:11:52. > :11:55.They're not encouraged to eat sugar any more.

:11:56. > :11:58.More of a treat than an every day occurrence.

:11:59. > :12:01.But there's still room in the industry for good quality

:12:02. > :12:05.cakes and these people made a good quality cake.

:12:06. > :12:08.Some staff will work their notice period here for a few weeks.

:12:09. > :12:10.A handful of others will look after smaller

:12:11. > :12:15.But the curtain has come down slowly on some long careers here.

:12:16. > :12:23.Mass production now over, most staff now looking for a new job.

:12:24. > :12:33.here are confident they'll be toasting success after Brexit.

:12:34. > :12:35.And - 'I'll come home world champion again' -

:12:36. > :12:45.The Archbishop of Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, says

:12:46. > :12:48.he still believes the law introducing presumed consent

:12:49. > :12:51.for organ donation was the "wrong way" to approach the problem

:12:52. > :12:56.Dr Morgan's comments come as he prepares to retire next week.

:12:57. > :13:00.He's been the head of the Church in Wales for nearly fourteen years.

:13:01. > :13:04.He's been speaking to Felicity Evans.

:13:05. > :13:06.Barry Morgan is the longest serving Archbishop in the worldwide

:13:07. > :13:11.And he's got the funny stories to prove it.

:13:12. > :13:17.When I was installed in Bangor, I knocked the door.

:13:18. > :13:19.The Dean said to me, "Knock the door three times."

:13:20. > :13:23.In the end, I knocked nine times because...

:13:24. > :13:26.They didn't seem to hear me and, not realising I had the microphone

:13:27. > :13:29.on, said to my chaplin, "Well, they obviously don't want

:13:30. > :13:35.It's exactly that warmth and self-depricating humour that's

:13:36. > :13:38.enabled him to steer the church in Wales through some long-running

:13:39. > :13:43.He's been an outspoken voice, usually on the liberal

:13:44. > :13:45.side of the argument, in public and political

:13:46. > :13:50.He's supported more powers for the National Assembly,

:13:51. > :13:53.but opposed the introduction of a law that assumes people

:13:54. > :13:57.want to be organ donors unless they opt out.

:13:58. > :13:59.You found yourself very much on the outside when it

:14:00. > :14:01.came to the view that you were expressing there.

:14:02. > :14:11.I felt that I was making a valid point.

:14:12. > :14:13.I think what I did object to was people thinking that

:14:14. > :14:19.I wasn't against organ donation at all.

:14:20. > :14:23.I was just against the method by which they were going about it.

:14:24. > :14:25.I still feel that, to be honest, because it's much better

:14:26. > :14:31.if people voluntarily say we want to give organs.

:14:32. > :14:38.Women clergy and same sex marriage have been the big battles

:14:39. > :14:44.He's in favour of both and he is delighted that the church

:14:45. > :14:47.in Wales first woman bishop was consecrated just a couple

:14:48. > :14:52.I think that was pretty important as a matter of justice,

:14:53. > :14:55.as a matter of equality and as a matter of doing

:14:56. > :15:02.That's been pretty important and I never expected a woman bishop

:15:03. > :15:09.However fierce the arguments over these issues, he's always sought

:15:10. > :15:12.to accommodate different views, holding the church together,

:15:13. > :15:15.even as he apologised to LGBT people for the way it's behaved

:15:16. > :15:20.You've pushed the gay marriage thing as far

:15:21. > :15:23.as you could while keeping everyone on board, haven't you?

:15:24. > :15:29.I've done that with the full support of the present bishops and also

:15:30. > :15:35.too with the support of the governing body.

:15:36. > :15:38.That's quite something, I think, in a church that hasn't always been

:15:39. > :15:42.known for its liberalism and I felt that, therefore,

:15:43. > :15:48.the bishops could issue prayers to say with gay people in church,

:15:49. > :15:51.but to bring a bill to allow gay marriage would have just

:15:52. > :15:56.And in terms of the church reaches out to its congegration

:15:57. > :16:00.and the wider society in Wales, what are your thoughts on how

:16:01. > :16:02.effectively it's done that under your leadership?

:16:03. > :16:05.If you're just going to judge it by church attendances,

:16:06. > :16:09.then the honest answer is not terribly well.

:16:10. > :16:12.But when I go around here and other parishes in Wales,

:16:13. > :16:15.I see church communities more engaged with their local societies

:16:16. > :16:26.Were it not for church people, lots of organisations

:16:27. > :16:34.I'm thinking of food banks, I'm thinking of dementia groups.

:16:35. > :16:36.His successor as Archbishop will be chosen in the summer.

:16:37. > :16:41.For Dr Morgan, that means a quieter life outside the public eye.

:16:42. > :16:43.I take the view that once you're gone, you're gone.

:16:44. > :16:51.I just want to leave the field clear, I don't want to make another

:16:52. > :16:54.public statement about issues again because that would be unfair

:16:55. > :16:59.on whoever succeeds me and I hope I can keep to that.

:17:00. > :17:01.Archbishop Barry Morgan, thank you very much.

:17:02. > :17:09.The Archbishop of Wales talking to Felicity Evans.

:17:10. > :17:12.Teresa May is meeting the new US President, Donald Trump

:17:13. > :17:15.and trade is likely to be high on the agenda.

:17:16. > :17:18.It's a visit being followed here by drinks producers -

:17:19. > :17:20.some of whom are due to visit the US soon.

:17:21. > :17:24.Wales exported around ?9 million worth of drinks in 2015.

:17:25. > :17:26.And the co-founder of one of Wales' newest breweries

:17:27. > :17:29.says he's confident new, global trade deals will benefit

:17:30. > :17:39.Capacity-wise, we're five times more than what we currently had so over

:17:40. > :17:43.a year, that's five million litres is what we can produce here.

:17:44. > :17:45.And that's what this place is all about.

:17:46. > :17:49.More beer, yes, but also more exports.

:17:50. > :17:53.Tiny Rebel already sell more beer in Norway than Wales.

:17:54. > :17:56.Whereas in the past brewery, we were doing a lot of it by hand,

:17:57. > :18:01.So it's made things a little bit easier.

:18:02. > :18:04.It means we can focus on other areas.

:18:05. > :18:07.And those other areas include America and China,

:18:08. > :18:11.But Bradley wants the cost and bureaucracy involved

:18:12. > :18:14.in selling his beer globally reduced.

:18:15. > :18:18.And hopes new trade deals after Brexit will help.

:18:19. > :18:20.For us, this is a long-term thing whichever market we go into.

:18:21. > :18:25.So hopefully Britain can set up a bit more of bespoke and even

:18:26. > :18:28.better trading terms with certain countries.

:18:29. > :18:32.Which will benefit us in the long run.

:18:33. > :18:35.Wales exported around ?9 million worth of drinks in 2015.

:18:36. > :18:42.Currently, British beer, as it travels towards an EU border,

:18:43. > :18:51.Although businesses hope alternative global deals can be struck up.

:18:52. > :18:53.Including in America, where Teresa May is meeting

:18:54. > :18:57.the new US President, Donald Trump.

:18:58. > :19:02.But some are worried about his protectionist policies.

:19:03. > :19:05.The Otley brewery in Pontypridd - another well known

:19:06. > :19:10.They too are "dipping their toe" into the export market.

:19:11. > :19:13.Funnily enough, China is going mad for Oh Ho Ho.

:19:14. > :19:16.Originally, we brewed Oh Ho Ho for a Christmas market.

:19:17. > :19:21.But we've never made a fuss about putting Christmas on the label

:19:22. > :19:23.or selling it or promoting it as a Christmas beer.

:19:24. > :19:26.So they're taking that all year round.

:19:27. > :19:29.Bosses here have big hopes for China, but feels there's too

:19:30. > :19:33.much uncertainty to be able to plan post-Brexit.

:19:34. > :19:36.With Brexit and Donald Trump in America, I can see it becoming

:19:37. > :19:42.a bit more difficult in Europe if tariffs are brought in for trade.

:19:43. > :19:45.But then you just have to look at other parts of Europe and see

:19:46. > :19:48.This is what the new Tiny Rebel brewery could look

:19:49. > :19:52.And it's a future that could hold great potential

:19:53. > :20:00.But the Welsh Government and a Committee of AM's say access

:20:01. > :20:03.to the EU single market is key for Welsh firms.

:20:04. > :20:08.The UK Government says it will make a success of Brexit.

:20:09. > :20:16.Time for the sport, and a big fight this weekend Tomos?

:20:17. > :20:18.Yes, another exciting night planned in the city.

:20:19. > :20:20.It's described as the Entertainment Capital of the World,

:20:21. > :20:22.and in the bright lights of Las Vegas tomorrow

:20:23. > :20:25.night Lee Selby has promised to put on a show

:20:26. > :20:26.and defend his IBF featherweight title.

:20:27. > :20:29.The boxer from Barry is up against Argentine Jonathan Victor Barros.

:20:30. > :20:33.Selby insists he'll return home still world champion.

:20:34. > :20:40.The Nevada desert - scorched arid landscapes

:20:41. > :20:42.and in the middle of these sprawling mountains,

:20:43. > :20:53.And Welshman Lee Selby will realise a lifelong ambition here on Saturday

:20:54. > :20:57.night when he defends his IBF featherweight world title

:20:58. > :21:01.against Jonathan Victor Barros at the MGM Grand.

:21:02. > :21:04.The dream for every fighter and the goal is to one day box

:21:05. > :21:10.And to most it's not a realistic dream.

:21:11. > :21:16.I go to show with hard work, with that dream and focus,

:21:17. > :21:19.hard work and dedication, you can make it possible.

:21:20. > :21:24.This is Lee Selby's 25th professional bout

:21:25. > :21:29.and of his previous 24, he's won 23 and lost just one.

:21:30. > :21:34.And of those 23 victories, eight have come via knockout.

:21:35. > :21:37.As for Barros, he's a more seasoned campaigner.

:21:38. > :21:43.He's had 46 professional fights, 41 victories and four defeats.

:21:44. > :21:49.Selby will be fighting Barros at the world famous MGM

:21:55. > :21:57.Headlining this bill is Carl Frampton, the WBA

:21:58. > :21:59.featherweight champion from Northern Ireland

:22:00. > :22:03.who defends his crown against Leo Santa Cruz.

:22:04. > :22:07.Then, it could be unification against Selby.

:22:08. > :22:09.I would love to see it, whether it's going to be

:22:10. > :22:12.at Windsor Park or Ravenhill, where they play the rugby

:22:13. > :22:15.or whatever, we'd love it to be in an outdoor arena in the summer.

:22:16. > :22:17.But you've got to think about Saturday night.

:22:18. > :22:19.That's the only thing we're focussing on.

:22:20. > :22:22.I can think about pitching ahead, but we're 100%

:22:23. > :22:29.I want to be involved in big fights after this and Selby's

:22:30. > :22:33.Huge respect for Lee Selby and I think it's the same

:22:34. > :22:38.I respect him, great fighter, but I would love

:22:39. > :22:43.So a mouth-watering duel with Frampton is Selby's ultimate

:22:44. > :22:54.goal, but for that to happen, he has to beat Barros tomorrow.

:22:55. > :22:56.Football, Cardiff City defender Bruno Manga could miss

:23:10. > :23:10.strengthen his squad before the transfer window closes

:23:11. > :23:18.He says playing a game on deadline day isn't ideal.

:23:19. > :23:20.I don't envisage running up the touchline to the fax

:23:21. > :23:22.machine during the game, if I'm honest.

:23:23. > :23:25.I mean, it's not as if we are looking for major

:23:26. > :23:27.We're just looking to improve the squad

:23:28. > :23:32.The Ospreys may be forced to play their home European Challenge Cup

:23:33. > :23:36.quarter final against Stade Francais away from the Liberty Stadium.

:23:37. > :23:45.on the 1st Sunday in April, but that could clash

:23:46. > :23:47.-- first with Swansea City's Premier League match against Middlesbrough

:23:48. > :23:50.if Sky decide to move that game to the Sunday and televise it.

:23:51. > :23:52.The Cardiff Blues meanwhile will play Gloucester

:23:53. > :23:56.Hurdler David Omoregie is among the athletes competing

:24:06. > :24:07.He just missed on the Olympic games last year.

:24:08. > :24:11.Meanwhile, Pole Vaulter Sally Peake - who won silver

:24:12. > :24:15.at the Commonwealth Games three years ago -

:24:16. > :24:19.is hoping to break her own national record this season.

:24:20. > :24:22.It's the first weekend where some of the Welsh athletes can start

:24:23. > :24:24.to try and get those qualifying performances out.

:24:25. > :24:27.It's the start of a really exciting year, really.

:24:28. > :24:31.I've made a few technical changes, especially my approach

:24:32. > :24:34.to the first hurdle, so I've gone from eight strides

:24:35. > :24:38.For me, indoors has always been about practising that and cementing

:24:39. > :24:40.that for the outdoor season and hopefully trying to make it

:24:41. > :24:49.to the team in London and being competitive there.

:24:50. > :24:50.The indoor champs in Cardiff tomorrow.

:24:51. > :24:56.Back to tonight, and the weather forecast.

:24:57. > :25:04.After a couple of cold days, blustery and more unsettled through

:25:05. > :25:07.the weekend, rain at times but eventually turning mild air. The

:25:08. > :25:12.pressure chart shows a cold front moving from west to east across

:25:13. > :25:17.Wales overnight bringing rain at times. Outbreaks of rain become more

:25:18. > :25:21.widespread, heavy and persistent, wintry over higher ground, easing

:25:22. > :25:29.from the west by dawn but misty and murky with overnight lows of six

:25:30. > :25:36.Celsius. Tomorrow, fog patches, rain will clear eastwards with dry and

:25:37. > :25:38.bright spells in the morning but a scattering of showers will push in

:25:39. > :25:43.from the west. Wintry on high ground, some heavy with a risk of

:25:44. > :25:51.thunder. Dreyer spells in between. Temperatures higher than today.

:25:52. > :25:55.Tomorrow night, those showers Peter Wright, try for a time, missed and

:25:56. > :26:00.fog developing and then clouding over with outbreaks of rain starting

:26:01. > :26:05.to move them from the west. Wear it is clearer and still in the cold,

:26:06. > :26:10.temperatures are hovering at freezing. Less cold further west as

:26:11. > :26:14.the rain arrives. That's because there's warm front moves eastwards

:26:15. > :26:20.through Sunday and the winds turn were south-westerly. Milder but more

:26:21. > :26:25.settled Atlantic influence to our weather. Uncertainty as to how far

:26:26. > :26:29.north this system will spread. Misty murky start on Sunday, turning

:26:30. > :26:34.cloudy with drizzle and spells of rain moves eastwards to the day.

:26:35. > :26:38.More likely to be heavier in the south and turning blustery as the

:26:39. > :26:41.winds pick up. Clearing from the south-west later in the day that

:26:42. > :26:48.remaining mistake and becoming milder with top temperatures of

:26:49. > :26:52.seven to 10 Celsius. That sets us up for a milder but more changeable

:26:53. > :26:55.starting next week, we swap the better but dry continental

:26:56. > :26:57.error-free Atlantic conditions, less cold but windy and more rain at

:26:58. > :27:07.times. As Theresa May becomes the first

:27:08. > :27:11.foreign leader to be welcome to the White House since Donald Trump took

:27:12. > :27:14.office, the new American president described the special relationship

:27:15. > :27:23.between the UK and the US as one of the great forces in history. We

:27:24. > :27:28.pledge our lasting support to this most special relationship. Britain

:27:29. > :27:29.is a blessing to the world and our relationship has never been

:27:30. > :27:30.stronger. We're back with our next update

:27:31. > :27:33.after the BBC News at Ten. For now though, from all

:27:34. > :27:36.of us on the programme,
