:01:22. > :01:23.on the Welsh Government to block plans to remove sixth forms
:01:24. > :01:26.from English-medium high schools in Torfaen.
:01:27. > :01:30.Schools in Cwmbran, Croesyceiliog and Pontypool would be affected.
:01:31. > :01:33.The council says plans to move post-16 provision
:01:34. > :01:39.to a new ?20 million site in Cwmbran from 2019
:01:40. > :01:57.Performing well, Saint Alden's high school in Pontypool. Sounds, lights
:01:58. > :01:59.and much more, all the responsibility of sixth form
:02:00. > :02:07.students. Without them, this show simply couldn't go on as often. Some
:02:08. > :02:11.disappointed at the prospect of losing the sixth form. We have a lot
:02:12. > :02:15.of schools coming from further up the valley and if we close down our
:02:16. > :02:20.strict form and we have a college built down in Cwmbran, that creates
:02:21. > :02:22.more barriers for disadvantaged students to access further
:02:23. > :02:26.education. We are asking the question, could that money be spent
:02:27. > :02:31.improving and enhancing education that we have here rather than a new
:02:32. > :02:36.facility? There are three in this medium sixth forms in Torfaen. The
:02:37. > :02:40.council wants to merge them, creating a ?20 million college at
:02:41. > :02:44.this former industrial site near Cwmbran town centre. No one from
:02:45. > :02:47.Torfaen council was available for interview today but officials have
:02:48. > :02:50.told me in the longer term the authority expects to get less money
:02:51. > :02:55.from the Welsh government, in part because fewer pupils will be coming
:02:56. > :02:58.through the system here. Leave sixth forms as they are, they say, and
:02:59. > :03:03.there's a chance that not all topics available now will be available in
:03:04. > :03:06.future. They simply might not be the student numbers to make some of
:03:07. > :03:10.those courses buyable. Get everyone on one site here, and you may create
:03:11. > :03:16.a critical mass and get a better chance of offering that wide range
:03:17. > :03:20.of courses. 14-year-old Ffion and others in her eurogroup would be the
:03:21. > :03:25.first not to be able to stay in high school beyond their GCSEs. It would
:03:26. > :03:28.have a lot of facilities, but if they have difficulty getting staff
:03:29. > :03:32.in the first few years, then they wouldn't be able to run the courses
:03:33. > :03:37.either, so new facilities are nothing without promises of great
:03:38. > :03:42.teachers. And a promise of good outcomes and grades. The merger of
:03:43. > :03:45.high school sixth forms has already happened elsewhere. Some in Gwinnett
:03:46. > :03:51.years ago. Merthyr Tydfil did the same in 2013, against the wishes of
:03:52. > :03:56.many at the time. Controversy back then, but now staff here say there
:03:57. > :04:00.are more students, better links with industry and grades have improved.
:04:01. > :04:04.The critical aspect for us has been the partnerships we have built up at
:04:05. > :04:10.the local scholars to ensure that it is seamless transition from year 11
:04:11. > :04:16.into the college. B show goes on in Torfaen. The schools watchdog says
:04:17. > :04:20.sixth forms here are likely to at least maintain current standards. It
:04:21. > :04:25.warning to, more assessment is needed on the effects on those from
:04:26. > :04:28.low income backgrounds. The curtain isn't down yet. The proposal now
:04:29. > :04:30.with the Welsh government for final approval on.
:04:31. > :04:32.The trade union Unison is branding the Welsh government's approach
:04:33. > :04:35.to the funding of its jobs advice service as "a mess" and wants
:04:36. > :04:39.an urgent meeting to discuss plans to cut 10% of the workforce
:04:40. > :04:43.The organisation says it's looking at all the options
:04:44. > :04:51.Our business correspondent, Brian Meechan, joins us now.
:04:52. > :04:59.Brian, what else is the union been saying? Careers Wales offers advice
:05:00. > :05:02.to people going into work and training and apprenticeships. And it
:05:03. > :05:06.is in the running at the moment to get a new contract to deliver this
:05:07. > :05:09.scheme in future by the Bush government. It is fully owned and
:05:10. > :05:14.funded by the Welsh government, but it has had budget cuts in recent
:05:15. > :05:18.years. It has had gone from a staff of 1200 down to a staff of 600 and
:05:19. > :05:23.it is now looking for a further 60 voluntary redundancies and Unison
:05:24. > :05:24.say that frankly be current funding arrangement is a mess.
:05:25. > :05:29.It doesn't make sense to us to plan a multi-million pound apprenticeship
:05:30. > :05:32.programme next year where our careers members will be needed
:05:33. > :05:36.and yet at the same time, they're downsizing their own service now.
:05:37. > :05:43.We won't be in a position to deliver what the Welsh government want.
:05:44. > :05:51.So what has been the response from the Welsh government and from
:05:52. > :05:54.Careers Wales? Careers Wales say they have a budget shortfall and
:05:55. > :05:58.they have to look at all the options on the table to try to deal with
:05:59. > :06:02.that. The Welsh government has said that ultimately this organisation
:06:03. > :06:07.has got to be more efficient and it's got to be on a longer-term
:06:08. > :06:10.fitting with the funding that it is able to have and I think ultimately
:06:11. > :06:15.we have seen budgets being cut. The Welsh government's budget has been
:06:16. > :06:18.cut and Careers Wales is not the only organisation that is
:06:19. > :06:23.experiencing that squeeze and the difficulties that they face so this
:06:24. > :06:26.will be a 30 consultation period. As I say, it will be looking for
:06:27. > :06:30.voluntary redundancies to start off with but it hasn't ruled out any
:06:31. > :06:34.thing so we will have to see what happens next but Unison say there is
:06:35. > :06:36.a real concern about the long-term future. Thinking.

:08:00. > :08:01.The local Assembly Member, Darren Millar, is calling
:08:02. > :08:05.on the council to dismantle the pier as soon as possible.
:08:06. > :08:08.Take a look at the pier as it was in early February
:08:09. > :08:11.and look again now that Storm Doris has been to visit.
:08:12. > :08:13.Another sizeable section of the structure
:08:14. > :08:17.Fortunately, it had already been fenced off and Conwy Council
:08:18. > :08:20.engineers are preparing to inspect the damage and begin
:08:21. > :08:25.I asked a retired civil engineer to give me his personal assessment
:08:26. > :08:29.I seem to remember there was a lot of
:08:30. > :08:33.cross bracing on the piece that has fallen, so that stability,
:08:34. > :08:38.whatever it was in the condition it was, has now been lost, so the rest
:08:39. > :08:43.There are ambitious plans being drawn up by a local trust
:08:44. > :08:46.to salvage and restore what they can and give the pier
:08:47. > :08:49.They admit it won't be cheap and will require
:08:50. > :08:54.A long running legal fight between Conwy Council and the pier's
:08:55. > :08:57.former owner was bitter at times but is now over.
:08:58. > :09:00.We want to draw a line under the past.
:09:01. > :09:05.We have a good working relationship with the council at the moment and
:09:06. > :09:11.Without them, we won't succeed and they won't succeed either
:09:12. > :09:13.without us, so it's a symbiotic relationship.
:09:14. > :09:18.So hopefully, in the not too distant future, we will have
:09:19. > :09:22.The pier trust says the storm damage hasn't
:09:23. > :09:26.affected its plans or its timescale but there are those who feel that
:09:27. > :09:29.it's now urgently necessary for work to begin to stop what's left
:09:30. > :09:32.of the pier from coming to any more harm.
:09:33. > :09:37.There's a lot of nostalgia in people's memories about the pier,
:09:38. > :09:40.but at the end of the day, you know, at the moment,
:09:41. > :09:43.it's not an asset for the town in its current state
:09:44. > :09:46.so let's take it down, let's have a look at
:09:47. > :09:48.whether there can be a creative solution found
:09:49. > :09:52.to give it a future where it can be put back together again
:09:53. > :09:55.and if that can't happen, then perhaps it may be the end
:09:56. > :09:59.The latest proposals for the pier will go before
:10:00. > :10:01.councillors next month, while the pressure to act

:10:23. > :10:24.Angling clubs say pollution incidents affecting rivers
:10:25. > :10:27.in West Wales are becoming more frequent and could cause
:10:28. > :10:33.It follows a slurry leak which has killed hundreds of fish
:10:34. > :10:35.in the Gwili river in Carmarthenshire.
:10:36. > :10:38.It's the third large scale pollution incident in recent months
:10:39. > :10:52.It was described as one of the worst cases of pollution to hit in a
:10:53. > :10:57.generation. More than 1000 fish were wiped out on a six mile stretch of
:10:58. > :11:04.the river by a slurry like substance. It killed salmon, and
:11:05. > :11:06.brown trout. Now, just a month later, another agricultural
:11:07. > :11:11.pollution incident has killed hundreds of fish. Around 200 trout
:11:12. > :11:14.and 40 lap rape and hundreds of small bullhead fish have been killed
:11:15. > :11:19.in the river Gwili in Carmarthenshire following a slurry
:11:20. > :11:23.week. Alex Young from the Angling club believes our rivers have to be
:11:24. > :11:28.managed better. The impact it's having on the local rivers I think
:11:29. > :11:31.is devastating, to be honest. This is our third one within
:11:32. > :11:35.Carmarthenshire. Any slurry becomes downstream is going to end up in
:11:36. > :11:38.here, end up in the river, and that is going to have an effect not just
:11:39. > :11:42.on the fish but all the vertebrates and everything in the river. Now,
:11:43. > :11:45.the hundreds of dead fish might have been washed away or cleared away,
:11:46. > :11:51.but there is still evidence of a slurry week. You can see it here
:11:52. > :11:53.with this form on the water. The concern is the frequency of these
:11:54. > :11:57.pollution incidents and the effects that will have on the environment
:11:58. > :12:02.and also the economy because angling tourism is a multi-million pound
:12:03. > :12:06.industry for West Wales. Following the incident on the TV, the oil
:12:07. > :12:12.leaked into the waterways in October last year, and now the slurry per
:12:13. > :12:20.listen in the Gwili, it is worried visiting anglers by stayaway. She
:12:21. > :12:23.says they are trying to tackle agricultural pollution and the cases
:12:24. > :12:28.are following. Although we have had three high-profile cases recently
:12:29. > :12:31.that have made the news, overall the number of significant pollution
:12:32. > :12:35.incidents we have been dealing with has dropped tremendously since last
:12:36. > :12:40.year. It's just that we have had three with in quick succession. I
:12:41. > :12:44.think the reason for that is a changed the way we are working in
:12:45. > :12:47.terms of our proactive campaigns but also the weather has had a big
:12:48. > :12:52.impact on that. The environmental might still be visible after this
:12:53. > :12:55.most recent incident but the economic impact is still to be felt.
:12:56. > :13:01.Former Wales captain, Sam Warburton says he's braced
:13:02. > :13:04.to face the toughest Scottish side of his rugby career.
:13:05. > :13:06.Wales run out at Murrayfield tomorrow, looking for their tenth
:13:07. > :13:09.consecutive win but the 28-year-old flanker says Scotland
:13:10. > :13:13.look a complete side and will provide a stern test.
:13:14. > :13:17.The stakes are high with both camps knowing the loser can almost
:13:18. > :13:20.certainly give up any hopes of being crowned
:13:21. > :13:30.The streets of Edinburgh today passed in winter sunshine,
:13:31. > :13:32.the thousands of Welsh fans who braved yesterday's stormy weather
:13:33. > :13:35.to get there looking forward to an encounter that should see
:13:36. > :13:40.We've beaten Scotland nine times in a row now...
:13:41. > :13:43.So, you know, it'll be number ten tomorrow.
:13:44. > :13:45.Scotland have been playing well this year,
:13:46. > :13:48.but they're not going to play well enough to beat us.
:13:49. > :13:51.I think it will be a very close game, but I think we
:13:52. > :13:53.might just catch it by a point or two.
:13:54. > :13:59.I think if we kick the ball to Stuart Hogg,
:14:00. > :14:02.Wales will run out at Murrayfield looking for their
:14:03. > :14:03.tenth consecutive victory but they're not taking
:14:04. > :14:06.Sam Warburton says he is braced to face
:14:07. > :14:08.the toughest Scottish side of his career.
:14:09. > :14:13.the Scots are now difficult opposition.
:14:14. > :14:16.You know, they've got a really good front five,
:14:17. > :14:23.They're physical in the contact area, they've got a back line
:14:24. > :14:26.to match all that as well, so it's definitely going to be the
:14:27. > :14:29.toughest Scottish team we've played against and it's going to be at
:14:30. > :14:31.Murrayfield as well which makes it tougher, so...
:14:32. > :14:33.I imagine it's going to be the toughest Scottish fixture
:14:34. > :14:37.Scotland's win over Ireland on the opening weekend has certainly
:14:38. > :14:39.given rugby north of the border the feel-good factor.
:14:40. > :14:42.They may have been outmuscled by France last time out,
:14:43. > :14:45.but make no mistake, come tomorrow afternoon,
:14:46. > :14:49.Their new captain, Scarlets back rower John Barclay,
:14:50. > :14:53.says he knows Wales will be under pressure.
:14:54. > :14:56.Living in Wales, what rugby league is there, and I know
:14:57. > :14:59.the pressures they're under, so probably for me, I think there's
:15:00. > :15:04.If you don't win, then people talk about that,
:15:05. > :15:07.and I kind of thought it was kind of half in jest,
:15:08. > :15:11.but if you walk down the street, people will talk to you every time.
:15:12. > :15:13.And I'm a Scottish person living in a part of Wales
:15:14. > :15:20.And it is full on rugby there, so I think there,
:15:21. > :15:26.And one former Wales captain and current Scotland forwards coach,
:15:27. > :15:28.Jonathan Humphreys, says the pressure on Wales
:15:29. > :15:39.So the things that can hang in the back of your mind as that
:15:40. > :15:42.game is coming to a close, if you don't win,
:15:43. > :15:51.Yeah, takes a bit of getting used to.
:15:52. > :15:54.With Scotland having injuries and Wales
:15:55. > :15:57.close to full strength, the stats to point to a Welsh win.
:15:58. > :16:02.They were much improved against England and if
:16:03. > :16:05.they reach those levels again, it's set to be a successful
:16:06. > :16:09.Wales Women's match against their Scottish
:16:10. > :16:17.The latest from Cumbernauld is
:16:18. > :16:21.The first try being scored by Wales and they have converted that too and
:16:22. > :16:23.are winning 7-0 at the moment. The game is live on the BBC Sport
:16:24. > :16:25.Wales website and the red button. That match is also
:16:26. > :16:31.on the BBC red button. And if that wasn't enough,
:16:32. > :16:34.Scrum V will have the Blues away Coverage starts at seven
:16:35. > :16:37.on BBC Two Wales. Football and Neil Warnock says
:16:38. > :16:41.he will be Cardiff City manager next season following positive talks
:16:42. > :16:43.with his bosses. The 68-year-old is expecting to sign
:16:44. > :16:47.a new deal in the next 24 hours. I'm pleased to say that, you know,
:16:48. > :16:53.we've agreed everything. Other than I've not
:16:54. > :16:57.put pen to paper, but we've agreed an extension
:16:58. > :17:01.for next season. We're all singing from
:17:02. > :17:06.the same hymn sheet. Like I said, Vincent
:17:07. > :17:08.and them have been nothing Let's talk to our football
:17:09. > :17:21.correspondent Rob Phillips. You were the man asking the
:17:22. > :17:26.questions today. Cardiff city have got their man and to be fair, Rob,
:17:27. > :17:31.he has delivered. He has delivered. If you think they are in the bottom
:17:32. > :17:34.three when he arrived in October and since then, he has delivered a brand
:17:35. > :17:39.of football bad the fans like to see. It is up and at them, in your
:17:40. > :17:42.face, and he has got results and that means that really the
:17:43. > :17:48.negotiations were made fairly easy so he stays along with Kevin
:17:49. > :17:52.Blackwell, his assistant, the coach and the goalkeeping coach. He has
:17:53. > :17:56.done more than that, he has galvanised the fans. There was a big
:17:57. > :18:01.disconnect between the fans and clubs over the rebrand but they sort
:18:02. > :18:05.that Neal wore knickers patching up that and there are smiles on the
:18:06. > :18:10.faces of Cardiff city supporters. They fit each other very well. He
:18:11. > :18:14.has made no secret told that he wants to win another promotion in
:18:15. > :18:18.his career. I think it might be his eighth if I am correct. Wally back
:18:19. > :18:22.him? Financially, they will need to get right behind him. They have to
:18:23. > :18:26.tiptoe around the financial fair play roles but he is confident he
:18:27. > :18:30.will have the backing. That is what the meeting was about with chairman
:18:31. > :18:35.members last Monday, positive noises came from that. To date Neill
:18:36. > :18:39.Warnock revealed he would be staying and he loves the job, he loves the
:18:40. > :18:43.club, but at his age, he doesn't want to be in a struggling clubs so
:18:44. > :18:47.yes, they will find the money for him. He will have to work off the
:18:48. > :18:51.field as well to sort out contracts and to bring them in line so that
:18:52. > :18:54.they don't offend financial fair play roles but all that is good for
:18:55. > :18:55.them now. It's working. Thank you very much indeed.
:18:56. > :18:57.Swansea City boosted by news today that defender Federico Fernandez

:19:01. > :19:02.The 28-year-old's previous deal was set to expire
:19:03. > :19:07.The Swans travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday to face Chelsea.
:19:08. > :19:11.Swans boss Paul Clement, who began his coaching career
:19:12. > :19:16.at the club says the league leaders are clear favourites.
:19:17. > :19:18.They've got themselves in a very strong position.
:19:19. > :19:21.Excellent run recently where they were winning game
:19:22. > :19:27.And they deserve to be in the position they're in
:19:28. > :19:29.based on the way they've been playing.
:19:30. > :19:31.Everyone's going to have to play well on Saturday if
:19:32. > :19:35.we're going to get something out of this game.
:19:36. > :19:37.Welsh skeleton racer, Laura Deas, is targeting a medal at
:19:38. > :19:45.And despite a good second run, that heat had to be abandoned due
:19:46. > :19:47.to snow, meaning the 28-year-old remains in 13th place
:19:48. > :19:51.It'll now be just a three-run race and Deas will compete again
:19:52. > :20:03.Now could Wales' shellfish industry double in size thanks to help
:20:04. > :20:10.A unique project involving academics and shellfishers here and in Ireland
:20:11. > :20:15.It will investigate the movement of shellfish in the Irish Sea
:20:16. > :20:18.with the aim of boosting production but at the same time
:20:19. > :20:21.ensuring shellfish numbers remain sustainable.
:20:22. > :20:28.Today in Bangor, the mussel boats were tied up alongside the dock.
:20:29. > :20:32.What we're doing is just getting the live product
:20:33. > :20:35.and cleaning it up ready for wholesale market.
:20:36. > :20:37.Trevor Jones is a partner in one of the boats.
:20:38. > :20:40.He told me it is used not just to harvest mussels,
:20:41. > :20:43.but also to collect young shellfish and move them
:20:44. > :20:50.Our biggest constraint, if you like, to increasing
:20:51. > :20:53.production is that irregular supply of natural
:20:54. > :20:57.sea mussels and sometimes getting the permission to go and fetch it.
:20:58. > :21:00.We rely on finding seen mussels in Morecambe Bay, south Wales,
:21:01. > :21:09.These pictures show one of the Bangor boats at work.
:21:10. > :21:11.They go out in all weathers and have a very
:21:12. > :21:15.short season in which to find the young mussels.
:21:16. > :21:17.That's where Dr Sheila Malham comes in.
:21:18. > :21:19.She's a scientist at Bangor University's
:21:20. > :21:23.So, these mussels are about three years old.
:21:24. > :21:26.At the moment, they're obviously going off to be sold.
:21:27. > :21:29.Dr Malham is now working with the shellfish industry
:21:30. > :21:31.to discover where the mussel larvae go,
:21:32. > :21:37.We know a little bit about what they like to settle on,
:21:38. > :21:40.but we don't know the exact Skuse and what they are happy on,
:21:41. > :21:44.so some of the things that we might be doing
:21:45. > :21:53.is putting out long lines out offshore and these, we hope,
:21:54. > :21:56.the mussels will sit on and stay on because we know that
:21:57. > :21:59.And we will be able to capture far more mussels
:22:00. > :22:04.The scientists will use what is known about currents
:22:05. > :22:08.in the Irish Sea to track the mussel larvae.
:22:09. > :22:11.At your local fishmonger or supermarket, you'll pick up a bag of
:22:12. > :22:15.mussels for anything between ?4 and ?5 per kilo depending on the
:22:16. > :22:20.quality, but here in Bangor, this is already multi-million pound industry
:22:21. > :22:24.and it's one here they say could easily double in size.
:22:25. > :22:27.And they already sell 7000-10,000 tonnes of
:22:28. > :22:35.Science and business working together.
:22:36. > :22:38.Prince Charles has been visiting various projects and sites
:22:39. > :22:43.On a visit to Llandeilo this afternoon, he donated money
:22:44. > :22:47.towards saving White Park Cattle from extinction, after learning
:22:48. > :22:50.about the National Trust's efforts to protect the species.
:22:51. > :22:59.They're so rare some experts say more giant pandas exist in the
:23:00. > :23:02.world, but Dinefwr Park in Llandeilo has been home to White Park Cattle
:23:03. > :23:16.And visiting this afternoon, Prince Charles showed his backing
:23:17. > :23:19.to save the species from extinction by making a donation
:23:20. > :23:25.It will go towards buying a new bull.
:23:26. > :23:29.A campaign launched last autumn to save the herd.
:23:30. > :23:31.As well as Caernarfonshire, the prince visited
:23:32. > :23:34.several other sites in South and West Wales.
:23:35. > :23:39.This morning, ex-service personnel, who make up 10% of the workforce,
:23:40. > :23:42.at Alculus greeted him at the company's new office
:23:43. > :23:51.The organisation has donated an IT system to the
:23:52. > :23:55.Prince's own charity, The Prince's Trust,
:23:56. > :23:57.which supports young people to secure jobs,
:23:58. > :24:04.It's been a varied visit for the Prince of Wales.
:24:05. > :24:06.A busy day in and out of the office
:24:07. > :24:15.Time for a look at the weather forecast now.
:24:16. > :24:20.After a calmer day, what's in store this weekend?
:24:21. > :24:27.It will be wet and windy at times over the weekend but nothing as
:24:28. > :24:32.extreme as Storm Doris. With some dry spells, feeling fairly mild as
:24:33. > :24:38.well. There's even coloured cloud thickening and outbreaks of light
:24:39. > :24:40.rain and drizzle will push in. Moving eastwards, drier spells
:24:41. > :24:45.developing. Winds will pick up overnight and cloud holding up the
:24:46. > :24:50.temperatures between six and eight Celsius. Tonight's front clears
:24:51. > :24:55.allowing just a few drier spells in early Saturday but then these two
:24:56. > :24:58.will follow bringing heavy rain by tomorrow afternoon. Early on
:24:59. > :25:03.tomorrow in the south and east, the best chance of any dry weather.
:25:04. > :25:08.Turning quite wet and windy form the north and west with heavy rain at
:25:09. > :25:12.times especially on higher ground, often misty, murky and overcast with
:25:13. > :25:15.hype south-westerly winds which could lease deal forced along
:25:16. > :25:21.exposed coasts but when is also drawing up mild air so top
:25:22. > :25:26.temperatures between nine Celsius in Swansea and 11 in French and Conwy.
:25:27. > :25:30.For the six Nations match in Edinburgh tomorrow afternoon, breezy
:25:31. > :25:34.with some rain and showers but some dry weather tomorrow, around seven
:25:35. > :25:39.Celsius. Back in Wales tomorrow night, the rain turned patchy,
:25:40. > :25:44.easing overnight. Misty and murky with just the odd spot of drizzle
:25:45. > :25:51.but cloudy and not too cold at 4-8 C. The pressure chart shows this
:25:52. > :25:54.easing eastwards over Sunday allowing clearer conditions for a
:25:55. > :26:00.time until another system pushes for the Atlantic later in the day. On
:26:01. > :26:04.Sunday, early brightness, dry for a time but winds picking up again and
:26:05. > :26:08.gale force south-westerly is developing along Cardigan Bay with
:26:09. > :26:12.some rain pushing in from the north-west in the afternoon. Patchy
:26:13. > :26:17.at first, then turning heavier with top temperatures of ten or 11
:26:18. > :26:21.Celsius. Turning wet and very windy at times through Saturday, the best
:26:22. > :26:25.of any dry and bright weather on Sunday morning with further rain and
:26:26. > :26:30.stronger winds in the afternoon and then next week, looking a bit cold
:26:31. > :26:35.and breezy with sunshine and blustery showers which could turn
:26:36. > :26:42.wintry in hills. Finally, today's picture. Shower clouds developing.
:26:43. > :26:45.We are likely to see a lot of clout over the weekend and just a
:26:46. > :26:49.reminder, if you have any photos to help tell the weather story, you can
:26:50. > :26:51.become a weather watcher and check out all the latest detail of the
:26:52. > :27:00.weather for the weekend online. A reminder of our top story. The

:27:04. > :27:09.Copland. Is the first time a party in government has taken a seat in a
:27:10. > :27:12.by-election for 35 years. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn describes their
:27:13. > :27:16.defeat is very disappointing but he said he wouldn't be standing down.
:27:17. > :27:19.And hundreds of parents, pupils and teachers are calling on the Welsh
:27:20. > :27:26.government to block plans to remove six forms from high schools in
:27:27. > :27:32.Torfaen. The council say plans to move post 16 provision to a new 20
:27:33. > :27:33.million pounds site with benefit students.
:27:34. > :27:36.I'll be back with a quick update at eight and a full round up
:27:37. > :27:52.But for now, from everyone on the programme,
