That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me,

:00:00.:00:00.

Four health boards, ?146 million in the red -

:00:00.:00:12.

tonight, Welsh Government says no more bailouts,

:00:13.:00:13.

We can't have a position that the Health Service gets an additional

:00:14.:00:29.

sum of money at great expense to the rest of public funding in the rest

:00:30.:00:32.

of Wales and we don't deliver properly acceptable level of

:00:33.:00:34.

performance and also financial performance is part of that. So

:00:35.:00:39.

could that mean waiting lists for some surgery will get longer?

:00:40.:00:53.

The mother of the Westminster attacker Khalid Masood -

:00:54.:00:55.

says she is "shocked, saddened, and numbed" by his actions.

:00:56.:00:59.

more than 100 grassfires across the country since the weekend.

:01:00.:01:14.

Here in Rhondda, now the fire is out, we can see the destruction it

:01:15.:01:18.

has caused. The call for schools

:01:19.:01:19.

to record all incidents Health spending accounts for around

:01:20.:01:22.

half of the Welsh Government's ?15 billion annual budget,

:01:23.:01:32.

but, tonight, a warning that there is no blank cheque

:01:33.:01:36.

to bail out overspending in the NHS. With four health boards

:01:37.:01:41.

here seeing their overspend treble in the past year,

:01:42.:01:43.

it's prompted the Health Secretary to tell them to do more

:01:44.:01:46.

to live within their means. Here's our political

:01:47.:01:50.

editor Nick Servini. We knew the NHS in Wales was under

:01:51.:02:01.

intense pressure. We now know what the impact has been on the budgets

:02:02.:02:05.

of some of our largest health boards. The deficit forecast for how

:02:06.:02:11.

old are University health board, which covers West Wales, is ?50

:02:12.:02:19.

million. Bridgend and Swansea, it is 35 million. Cardiff and Vale, 31

:02:20.:02:25.

million and Betsy Cadwallader, which covers North Wales, ?30 million for

:02:26.:02:32.

the financial year coming to an end. Overall, that is three times higher

:02:33.:02:35.

than the previous year. Smiles all round as the Health Secretary born

:02:36.:02:42.

Gethin meets staff at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, one of

:02:43.:02:44.

the trust that fail to balance the books. As a result, the message was

:02:45.:02:49.

a serious one. There will be no bailout. Every health board itself,

:02:50.:02:58.

their independent members should be challenging and looking at the

:02:59.:02:58.

financial plans that are coming forward, because we can't have a

:02:59.:02:59.

position where the help service gets an additional sum of money at great

:03:00.:03:03.

expense to the rest of public funding and the rest of Wales and we

:03:04.:03:07.

don't deliver properly acceptable level of performance and also

:03:08.:03:10.

financial performance as part of that as well. The director of

:03:11.:03:14.

nursing at ABM you Rory Farrelly catches up after the weekend at

:03:15.:03:18.

Morriston Hospital in Swansea. This is part of ABMU where deterioration

:03:19.:03:27.

has been start, going from a break even position to ?35 million

:03:28.:03:31.

overspend, a figure that is enough to run the entire health board for

:03:32.:03:36.

nearly fortnight. It has responded to the problems by focusing on

:03:37.:03:41.

recruitment, and cut down on the cost of taking on agency staff. If

:03:42.:03:47.

you are using premium agency, that will have a drain on the financial

:03:48.:03:50.

resources but it is really important that we utilise and keep the staff

:03:51.:03:54.

we have got and keep our ongoing recruitment going and getting more

:03:55.:04:00.

staff to work for us on the health board and we have seen that over the

:04:01.:04:04.

last few years. Up until this point, the Welsh Government has had and we

:04:05.:04:10.

are all in this together sort of approach but that Minister causing

:04:11.:04:15.

the finances are acceptable is a reflection of the frustration felt

:04:16.:04:18.

very senior levels of the Welsh Government at the way some of these

:04:19.:04:23.

are being run, and from the health board's perspective, they have the

:04:24.:04:27.

big job now are trying to introduce savings in the next year without

:04:28.:04:31.

affecting services. The think tank the health foundation analysed a

:04:32.:04:38.

potential back hole in the NHS in Wales in a report last year --

:04:39.:04:42.

Blackall. We have been going around needing to make continual savings

:04:43.:04:48.

every year. We need a real system look at how we can really work

:04:49.:04:52.

together as an NHS, as a combined Health Service, to really release

:04:53.:04:57.

the savings. At a time of rising demand, these figures reflect the

:04:58.:05:00.

ever-growing problem for help bosses and Government ministers are coping

:05:01.:05:07.

with the spiralling costs within the NHS.

:05:08.:05:08.

Our Health Correspondent, Owain Clarke is here.

:05:09.:05:10.

We've heard there about the effect on the health boards,

:05:11.:05:13.

Well, day-to-day individuals might not notice any difference, but this

:05:14.:05:26.

is the truth, but the health boards that have overspent in this

:05:27.:05:29.

financial year will need to try to find even bigger financial savings

:05:30.:05:35.

in the next. So what do they do? They can't, hospitals can't tell

:05:36.:05:38.

emergency patients, for example, comeback in a couple of weeks, we

:05:39.:05:42.

are a little bit short. Expectant mothers will still need to deliver

:05:43.:05:46.

their babies. What we have seen in the past when things have been

:05:47.:05:50.

squeezed and really tight financially is that waiting time for

:05:51.:05:55.

planned, scheduled have lengthened. Also waiting times for certain types

:05:56.:05:59.

of tests. The Welsh Government won't want to see that happening, they

:06:00.:06:03.

have taken a fair bit of flak that in the past. Perhaps the biggest

:06:04.:06:06.

concern is for recruitment and Nick mentioned it in his piece, health

:06:07.:06:11.

boards paying over the odds because of too many vacancies. We know there

:06:12.:06:15.

has been a Wales wide recruitment campaign, I'm told it's beginning to

:06:16.:06:18.

work, but the effects will take awhile to feed through.

:06:19.:06:22.

Nevertheless, the Welsh Government will argue that it three health

:06:23.:06:25.

boards can live within their means, why can't the other four? Thank you.

:06:26.:06:28.

Now the rest of the day's news. The mother of the Westminster

:06:29.:06:31.

attacker Khaled Masood - says she's shocked, saddened

:06:32.:06:33.

and numbed by his actions. Four people were killed

:06:34.:06:36.

when the 52-year-old drove a car into pedestrians

:06:37.:06:38.

on Westminster Bridge and stabbed a police officer,

:06:39.:06:42.

before being shot dead. Our reporter Kate Morgan

:06:43.:06:46.

is in the newsroom. Well, Jamie, it emerged last week

:06:47.:06:57.

that the mother of the attacker Callard Massoud lived in a small

:06:58.:07:01.

village in Carmarthenshire. Since then, there has been a police

:07:02.:07:05.

presence outside Janet Ajao's home in the village of Trelech. Tonight,

:07:06.:07:10.

we have heard from her the first anchormen in a statement she said

:07:11.:07:14.

she was deeply shocked, saddened and numbed by the actions of her son.

:07:15.:07:18.

She said that on the discovery that it was her son responsible, she shed

:07:19.:07:22.

many tears for the people caught up in that horrendous incident. She say

:07:23.:07:27.

she does not in any way condone his actions or support the believes that

:07:28.:07:32.

led to him committing that atrocity. Finally, she thanked her family,

:07:33.:07:35.

friends and the community their love and support. Her home in

:07:36.:07:40.

Carmarthenshire was one of a number across the UK searched in an

:07:41.:07:43.

extensive police operation. Police didn't arrest anyone at that address

:07:44.:07:46.

and they are keen to stress that they are not suspects in this

:07:47.:07:52.

ongoing investigation. The Met police, who are leading the

:07:53.:07:54.

investigation, said there is no threat to the area and Janet Ajao

:07:55.:08:01.

now wants privacy in what is an extremely difficult time. Kate

:08:02.:08:01.

Morgan, thank you. After a weekend where firefighters

:08:02.:08:03.

were called to more than 100 most of them started

:08:04.:08:06.

deliberately, and the emergency services are warning that lives

:08:07.:08:15.

are being put in danger. One of the worst hit areas

:08:16.:08:17.

was Rhondda Cynon Taf, where Caroline Evans

:08:18.:08:20.

is for us this evening. Jamie, on a day like today, it is

:08:21.:08:27.

glorious appear in Penrhys, but if you take a look at my feet, you can

:08:28.:08:32.

see the damage that has been done in just a few short hours. The land

:08:33.:08:37.

here is going to take months to recover and tonight, fires in other

:08:38.:08:38.

parts of Wales are still burning. Flames creeping ever closer to

:08:39.:08:48.

houses in the kill Bay Hill area of Swansea. Firefighters are trying to

:08:49.:08:53.

put out the blaze before it spreads any further down the mountain. The

:08:54.:08:56.

latest in a series of grass fires across the country since the

:08:57.:09:00.

beginning of the weekend. This was Penrhys Mountain in the Rhondda at

:09:01.:09:03.

the height of the blaze on Saturday night. Dramatic and dangerous. The

:09:04.:09:07.

flames leaping, powered by the strong east wind. As you can see

:09:08.:09:11.

from the scorch marks, a relatively small fire, but with the windy

:09:12.:09:16.

conditions, spread quite quickly across the mountainside. As you can

:09:17.:09:20.

see behind us there. Up to the roadway, a lot of spectators there,

:09:21.:09:25.

so we had to go back with the roadway but more worryingly, burned

:09:26.:09:29.

down towards the side of the mountain towards the houses and

:09:30.:09:32.

going right close to the backs of some of the houses. Eileen is part

:09:33.:09:35.

of a team who rescues animals, but there aren't any to rescue from

:09:36.:09:40.

scene like this. The animals don't survive. Now is the start breeding

:09:41.:09:45.

season, so we have got baby animals, maybe undercover, which aren't going

:09:46.:09:49.

to survive those kinds of fires the adults may be run away from the

:09:50.:09:54.

scene, but if they are injured, they are not found, they just crawl off

:09:55.:09:56.

and die and that is re-heartbreaking. We can use the

:09:57.:10:05.

Polaris on a lot of this. The fire services adopting new approaches and

:10:06.:10:07.

as Craig explained to me, this vehicle is not only helping them get

:10:08.:10:10.

water to the scene, it also means they can fight fire with fire. So we

:10:11.:10:16.

have drip torches. This contains a mixture of petrol and diesel and we

:10:17.:10:20.

actually put it together and we have along with coming out with a burning

:10:21.:10:23.

torch on the and that we can walk along and actually light fires. We

:10:24.:10:28.

have a tool box of tools, we have water, a leaf blower, with no flames

:10:29.:10:33.

with a leaf blower. And exacerbating the problem is the sheer amount of

:10:34.:10:37.

dry Bracken now covering the hillside. Harris is involved in a

:10:38.:10:41.

project looking at what can be done from an environmental perspective.

:10:42.:10:45.

By reintroducing traditional management like this, in the long

:10:46.:10:50.

term, you will get more varied habitat, the seed bank will build

:10:51.:10:55.

back up again on the hills, because at the moment, it is getting

:10:56.:10:58.

devastated by these fires. And the problem isn't going away. Near

:10:59.:11:03.

Llangollen, a blaze which has been extinguished reignited. And in

:11:04.:11:09.

Swansea, it could be hours before these claims are brought under

:11:10.:11:10.

control. Well, the fire service tell me that

:11:11.:11:19.

after this weekend, they are now hoping for rain, but what they want

:11:20.:11:21.

more than that, they say, is for people to wake up to the mindless

:11:22.:11:38.

damage that these fires cause and to the potential for loss of life.

:11:39.:11:38.

Caroline Evans, thank you. who was murdered by her husband 20

:11:39.:11:42.

years ago - were found tied to a porcelain sink at the bottom

:11:43.:11:46.

of Wentwood reservoir last month. The reservoir near Newport hadn't

:11:47.:11:49.

been drained for 100 years. Michael Bowen was jailed

:11:50.:11:51.

for her murder in 1998, but never The clean-up of the Wylfa

:11:52.:11:54.

and Trawsfynedd nuclear sites because of the rising

:11:55.:11:58.

cost of the project. The ?6 billion contract

:11:59.:12:01.

to decommission 12 redundant was awarded to the Cavendish Fluor

:12:02.:12:03.

Partnership in 2014. But the UK Government's scrapped

:12:04.:12:07.

the deal and will investigate A Pembrokeshire man who raped

:12:08.:12:09.

a stranger at knife-point has been jailed for ten years

:12:10.:12:16.

at Swansea Crown Court. Andrew Check, who's 30, broke

:12:17.:12:20.

into the woman's home in Tenby, after he left a footprint

:12:21.:12:23.

near the scene of the attack. The woman's DNA was also found

:12:24.:12:27.

on a glove at his house. From Swansea Crown Court,

:12:28.:12:34.

Aled Scourfield. This is Andrew Edwin Check,

:12:35.:12:35.

a 30-year-old bar manager who climbed through a woman's

:12:36.:12:37.

bedroom window in the middle of the night and subjected her

:12:38.:12:40.

to a terrifying rape at knife-point Swansea Crown Court heard

:12:41.:12:43.

that the attack in the seaside town of Tenby lasted 15 minutes

:12:44.:12:48.

and the woman is still suffering In a video that was played

:12:49.:12:51.

to the court, the victim described She said her life had totally

:12:52.:12:57.

changed and the sheer horror, fear and terror she felt

:12:58.:13:02.

was off the scale. Check matched the description

:13:03.:13:06.

of the attacker during house-to-house enquiries,

:13:07.:13:09.

but detailed forensic work by Dyfed-Powys Police helped build

:13:10.:13:12.

the case against him. These prints were left

:13:13.:13:15.

outside the property Crime scene investigators worked

:13:16.:13:17.

through the night to process the footprint before it was analysed

:13:18.:13:23.

by experts back at the Dyfed-Powys Evidence which led to

:13:24.:13:26.

the defendant being arrested. that was recovered from the scene

:13:27.:13:32.

and the first thing I do then is to look at the pattern elements

:13:33.:13:42.

and try and identify those elements by using our footwear

:13:43.:13:45.

database system. And as you can see from this one,

:13:46.:13:47.

we got the zigzag type pattern and then I searched

:13:48.:13:50.

through all our zigzag type patterns on the database to try

:13:51.:13:54.

and narrow down the one that is most And the one that I came

:13:55.:13:57.

to was of course the Fred Perry 54. From the house-to-house team

:13:58.:14:04.

officers that attended his home address and identified him

:14:05.:14:06.

from an early footwear mark, right through to the forensic team

:14:07.:14:10.

which identified the victim's DNA on gloves that were recovered

:14:11.:14:16.

in his home address. In sentencing Check to ten years

:14:17.:14:21.

in prison with a further seven years on licence,

:14:22.:14:24.

his honour Judge Keith Thomas said Andrew Check had carried out

:14:25.:14:26.

the attack in a callous and determined way and he posed

:14:27.:14:29.

a significant risk to the community. The offence sent shock waves

:14:30.:14:33.

through the quiet seaside community, An attack that frightened and

:14:34.:14:37.

horrified people in equal measure. Much more to come before seven

:14:38.:14:55.

o'clock. No Barry incinerator. Protest at the pervert, they do not

:14:56.:14:59.

want Westwood turned into electricity. This plant would be the

:15:00.:15:02.

first in the country -- protest at the power plant. And with

:15:03.:15:08.

temperatures reaching 19 Celsius over the weekend, more unsettled

:15:09.:15:13.

weather on the way. More problems tonight the drivers along North

:15:14.:15:21.

Wales' Maine Road, the A55. Yesterday, there were reports of

:15:22.:15:24.

drivers taking hours to travel a few miles.

:15:25.:15:26.

The Welsh Government insists delays are being kept to a minimum -

:15:27.:15:29.

but some businesses say they've lost thousands of pounds.

:15:30.:15:31.

Well, at least today, the traffic was moving, most of the time.

:15:32.:15:35.

There were hold-ups at the rush hours

:15:36.:15:37.

The A55 continues to crawl eastbound from Dwygyfylchi at 16A

:15:38.:15:46.

all the way through towards Old Colywn.

:15:47.:15:48.

It's a bit slow heading west toward Old Colwyn on the 55 as well.

:15:49.:15:52.

That's what listeners to BBC Wales heard yesterday.

:15:53.:15:56.

If anything, the situation on the ground was worse.

:15:57.:15:59.

There were reports some drivers were stuck in the queue several hours.

:16:00.:16:02.

and at the Mulberry Pub and restaurant on Conwy Marina,

:16:03.:16:08.

Debbie Taylor, the manager there, says the traffic

:16:09.:16:11.

disrupted staff, customers and cost the business thousands.

:16:12.:16:15.

A lot of our tables didn't turn up

:16:16.:16:17.

or were ringing to say they were going to be

:16:18.:16:19.

at least an hour, an hour and a half late, which set us back.

:16:20.:16:23.

We had a lot of empty tables for a time because most

:16:24.:16:27.

of our tables were booked between one and half two.

:16:28.:16:30.

Staff, same with staff, coming in to do service,

:16:31.:16:35.

they were late, stuck in the traffic,

:16:36.:16:37.

Traffic Wales, the roads arm of Welsh Government,

:16:38.:16:41.

says work is going on around the clock to clear

:16:42.:16:43.

At Conwy tunnels, its planned improvements, but further east

:16:44.:16:48.

of Colwyn Bay, there's what's described a semi-emergency

:16:49.:16:52.

We do understand that these important maintenance

:16:53.:17:05.

It is better that they are done in the winter rather

:17:06.:17:09.

I think we've probably just got to put up with it and hope that

:17:10.:17:17.

For now, though, it's a case of just grin and bear it.

:17:18.:17:24.

Schools in Wales should be legally required to record

:17:25.:17:29.

all incidents of bullying, that's according to

:17:30.:17:29.

Bullies Out, says a true understanding of what's going on can

:17:30.:17:34.

only be achieved if there's a consistent approach

:17:35.:17:38.

The Welsh Government says it's reviewing its anti-bullying policy

:17:39.:17:41.

It's something that no parent should have to go through, the heartbreak

:17:42.:17:57.

of losing a child. But the Dominique Williams and her partner Suzanne

:17:58.:18:01.

from Swansea, the pain is still raw after their daughter took her own

:18:02.:18:07.

life earlier this year. Her mother claims her 14-year-old daughter's

:18:08.:18:11.

there was a result of being bullied at school. South Wales police is

:18:12.:18:15.

investigating the claims but says it is yet to find any evidence of

:18:16.:18:19.

bullying. It makes us feel as if we have failed as parents because we

:18:20.:18:22.

weren't there to stop it, because we weren't told, you know? To find out

:18:23.:18:28.

she was being bullied, she was going through such pain of her own and we

:18:29.:18:33.

didn't know nothing about it and that kills us every day. Every

:18:34.:18:39.

day... We feel as if we have failed her. We feel as if we failed her.

:18:40.:18:46.

This is an anti-bullying film shown in classrooms across the country. In

:18:47.:18:50.

Wales, schools are required by law to have behaviour policies in place

:18:51.:18:53.

but there is no legal requirement for schools here to record every

:18:54.:18:57.

incident of bullying. Now an anti-bullying check back at a

:18:58.:19:01.

charity please legislation should be introduced in Wales to ensure there

:19:02.:19:03.

is a consistent approach to tackling the issue. We need to have that

:19:04.:19:09.

consistent definition of what exactly bullying is and then, again,

:19:10.:19:14.

maybe by having every incident recorded, will get the true

:19:15.:19:16.

statistics of what exactly is going on. Last year in Northern Ireland,

:19:17.:19:21.

and act was passed making it a requirement for schools to record

:19:22.:19:25.

all reports of bullying after a review was ordered of school

:19:26.:19:30.

policies across the country. We find that the schools were doing their

:19:31.:19:34.

best -- we found the schools were doing their best to tackle bullying

:19:35.:19:37.

but were struggling in some cases, so their anti-bullying policies were

:19:38.:19:41.

sometimes very mixed qualities, referring to some but not other

:19:42.:19:45.

forms of bullying. The definitions of bullying were many and varied. In

:19:46.:19:50.

Wales, however, head teachers' union believes that introducing

legislation isn't the most effective way forward. I have a fear of making

:19:53.:19:57.

it a legal duty to report that will end up with a compliance model in

terms of addressing bullying in schools. The Welsh Government says

:20:04.:20:08.

it offers guidance to schools in order to prevent bullying and is

:20:09.:20:11.

currently reviewing its policy. Back in Swansea, Nyah's family continue

:20:12.:20:16.

to grieve but they hope will can be done to ensure others don't have to

:20:17.:20:17.

suffer the same kind of loss. It would be the first power plant

:20:18.:20:20.

of its kind in Wales, But people living near the planned

Barry Docks biomass project are trying to stop it getting

:20:24.:20:33.

a permit as they're worried Now Friends of the Earth

:20:34.:20:36.

is complaining to the European Commission because an environmental

:20:37.:20:39.

impact assessment hasn't been done. No Barry incinerator! No Barry

:20:40.:20:42.

incinerator! Unpopular with some people living

:20:43.:20:54.

here, worried about fire There's even a dispute

:20:55.:20:56.

about terminology. The company says it's

:20:57.:21:00.

not an incinerator, It converts it at high

:21:01.:21:02.

temperatures into gas. Johanna and Kelvin Knight live near

:21:03.:21:09.

the site and have a baby on the way. Now they feel their dream move

:21:10.:21:13.

is being undermined. If I had known that there is the

:21:14.:21:23.

chance of the incinerator, I wouldn't have bought. I think this

:21:24.:21:26.

being put in the position is just the completely wrong place at the

:21:27.:21:30.

wrong time. Barry is being regenerated and that being the case,

:21:31.:21:34.

that is why I moved here, I wanted to be next to the coastal path, next

:21:35.:21:39.

to nature and now someone has made a decision in the middle of nature to

:21:40.:21:43.

drop a woodchip incinerator. Complete contrast to the whole

:21:44.:21:45.

philosophy of green, clean living. The company, Biomass UK Number 2,

:21:46.:21:48.

wasn't available for interview today, but said in a statement it

:21:49.:21:51.

understands locals' concerns. The developers say conversion of

:21:52.:22:10.

waste wood into energy means less landfill and the plant will be able

:22:11.:22:12.

to power around 20,000 homes a year. The company's already had planning

:22:13.:22:17.

permission from Vale of Glamorgan Council but before that chimney

:22:18.:22:20.

behind me can start operating, it needs a permit from

Natural Resources Wales. Now friends of the Earth is

:22:23.:22:30.

complaining to the European Commission about how the application

:22:31.:22:34.

is being assessed. We are sure that it requires proper assessment and

the European law. Here is the European Commission, who are

:22:41.:22:44.

ultimately responsible for taking proceedings against the Welsh

:22:45.:22:48.

Government if it is not coming at its job properly. Then RW says it

:22:49.:22:56.

can job does not include an environmental impact assessment and

:22:57.:23:01.

this was a job for the Council during the planning phase. They will

:23:02.:23:05.

make a decision on the permit than just over a month.

Welsh Gymnast Maisie Methuen says she's aiming to make it

The 15-year-old from Pontypool beat the Commonwealth Champion

and Strictly Come Dancing Star Claudia Fragipane to the title.

:23:21.:23:23.

I never expect to beat her, but I guess she is coming back

from Rio, it is hard for your fitness and stuff,

but it is a nice feeling to, you know,

The Cardiff Devils will play Manchester Storm next weekend

:23:35.:23:45.

The Devils - who lost their last game of the regular season

:23:46.:23:51.

against Belfast Giants last night - are top seeds.

:23:52.:23:55.

Having won the Challenge Cup and the Elite League,

:23:56.:23:57.

It's been confirmed a 12-millimetre-long millipede -

:23:58.:24:03.

described as the Mardy Monster - is a new species.

:24:04.:24:05.

Experts say the brown bug - which was found crawling under

:24:06.:24:08.

stones at the old colliery site in the Rhondda - is completely

:24:09.:24:13.

new to science and is distinct from other millipedes.

:24:14.:24:18.

But it's not known how it came to be in South Wales.

:24:19.:24:26.

What is in store for the rest of the week

:24:27.:24:29.

with the weather? It was a warm spring like we can across Wales,

:24:30.:24:38.

temperatures reaching 19 Celsius in Porthmadog and Gwynedd, 18 in

Pembrey in Carmarthenshire. Drive across most of Wales but it will not

last much longer. This week turning more unsettled with rain at times

were still some brightness but becoming blustery. Tonight will

:24:51.:24:55.

Remain drive with various files and light winds. It will turn chilly in

:24:56.:25:02.

rural areas, fog forming in the early hours so not as cold as recent

:25:03.:25:07.

night, loads of 4-9 C. The chart shows we start a season changes

:25:08.:25:12.

tomorrow as this weather front pushes in from the south-west.

:25:13.:25:15.

Tomorrow morning, low cloud and fog in mid and North Wales will clear to

live a mix of sunny spells and showers. Showers pushing up from the

:25:20.:25:23.

south-west could turn heavy in places, still some warm and sunny

:25:24.:25:26.

spells through the afternoon and winds also turn more south-westerly,

:25:27.:25:30.

quite gusty along the coast, so not quite as warm as recent days, more

:25:31.:25:36.

like 12 Celsius in Gwynedd, Porthmadog tomorrow, 15 in

:25:37.:25:40.

Monmouthshire. Tomorrow, thicker cloud, rain pushing in from the west

:25:41.:25:44.

would serve the south-westerly winds and a noticeably milder night, mist

:25:45.:25:50.

and fog forming with overnight lows of nine and 11 Celsius. This big

:25:51.:25:54.

area of low pressure in the Atlantic influences our weather from mid week

:25:55.:25:58.

on, more rain and with stronger winds too. So on Wednesday, some

:25:59.:26:05.

drier spells, often cloudy with showers and bells of rain pushing in

:26:06.:26:08.

from the west. Heaviest on west facing hills. Temperatures still

:26:09.:26:16.

above average at 12-15, probably warmest in the is. On Thursday, a

:26:17.:26:20.

mix of sunshine and showers, brisk southerly winds but temperatures

:26:21.:26:24.

will still do well in any sunshine. More unsettled from midweek onwards,

:26:25.:26:29.

often quite windy and relatively mild and frost free. Slightly cooler

:26:30.:26:33.

but changeable on Friday and looking maybe a bit drier as we head through

:26:34.:26:37.

next weekend. Finally, the weather watchers pictures show changes

:26:38.:26:43.

across Wales. Tenby in the sunshine the cold and foggy then went. If you

again. The mother of Khaled Masood, the man behind the Westminster

attacks has expressed anguish about the actions of her son. In a

:27:10.:27:14.

statement tonight, Nichols Canyon, who lives in Carmarthenshire, said

:27:15.:27:19.

she did not condone what he had done -- Janet Ajao. It has emerged today

:27:20.:27:23.

that the car used in the attack was driven at more than 70 mph.

:27:24.:27:28.

Health boards and Wales have been told there will be no blank cheque

to bail them out. It is forecast that four of them will overspend by
