Here on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.

:00:00.:00:10.

Our top stories: Wales is home to all of them,

:00:11.:00:14.

but all of their lives have changed after Brexit.

:00:15.:00:16.

Tonight, life in Wales in the aftermath of the referendum.

:00:17.:00:18.

And we'll have all the analysis on Wales cruising to victory

:00:19.:00:21.

in their opening World Cup qualifier against Moldova.

:00:22.:00:40.

The number of hate-crimes reported to the police in the weeks before

:00:41.:00:45.

and after the EU referendum was 60% higher than

:00:46.:00:48.

Over 600 incidents were recorded in June and July.

:00:49.:00:55.

Immigration was at the centre of the Brexit debate,

:00:56.:00:58.

which became one of the most animated political discussions

:00:59.:01:01.

Our reporter Jordan Davies has been taking a look at how that decision

:01:02.:01:07.

The campaigns for and against leaving the European Union

:01:08.:01:16.

were impassioned, frenetic and some say divisive.

:01:17.:01:21.

So, more than two months on, how has the vote affected our communities?

:01:22.:01:27.

For the former deputy mayor of Cardiff, Councillor Ali Ahmed,

:01:28.:01:30.

the votes revealed another darker side to his home of 40 years.

:01:31.:01:35.

I was talking to one of my friends and we were just talking and one

:01:36.:01:39.

gentleman coming towards us from the City Road junction,

:01:40.:01:44.

he stopped and said, "What are you doing?"

:01:45.:01:47.

"We voted leave, when are you going to leave?"

:01:48.:02:00.

Amd in four decades you've never had anything like that?

:02:01.:02:02.

This is the best multicultural country that I can think of -

:02:03.:02:07.

the United Kingdom, especially Wales and Cardiff.

:02:08.:02:10.

In Wrexham, community activist Yolande Viegas from Portugal says

:02:11.:02:15.

We didn't understand really what was about to happen,

:02:16.:02:23.

especially when people passed in front of the cafe and would say,

:02:24.:02:27.

"Out, out, out" and, "Now you have to go back to your country."

:02:28.:02:32.

This is perhaps the most tangible social consequence so far.

:02:33.:02:41.

In the weeks before and after the June vote,

:02:42.:02:44.

reports of hate-crime in Wales were up 60% compared

:02:45.:02:48.

Reports of racially motivated hate-crime increased

:02:49.:02:54.

It's too early to say if the trend will continue in Wales.

:02:55.:03:00.

I think what Brexit has done is given greater

:03:01.:03:03.

We've had key individuals coming forward and giving examples

:03:04.:03:07.

where they believe they've been targeted as a consequence of Brexit.

:03:08.:03:12.

We do expect the trend to have a natural spike this time

:03:13.:03:15.

of year but not until July so the spike started slightly

:03:16.:03:18.

In Swansea, some women joined this self-defence class over fears

:03:19.:03:25.

It was made clear that Polish people have always been welcome.

:03:26.:03:34.

In Newport, the repercussions are also being felt.

:03:35.:03:38.

In this quaint creative corner of Caerleon, where Wales

:03:39.:03:42.

is sold to the world, Brexit has put a strain

:03:43.:03:45.

on relations, including for Rhian Rees, who has a shop here.

:03:46.:03:50.

There's a couple of people who I can't talk to

:03:51.:03:53.

Friendships that I have had with people for a long time

:03:54.:03:58.

and I said, "I can't talk to you about it."

:03:59.:04:00.

The owner of this impressive store who has worked all over

:04:01.:04:03.

Europe in the circus says many of her friends are now

:04:04.:04:07.

"That's it, I don't want to live here any more.

:04:08.:04:14.

That's some of the things that have been said to me.

:04:15.:04:19.

While the full consequences of Brexit are yet to crystallise,

:04:20.:04:22.

for some, things here have already changed.

:04:23.:04:26.

Ripples in society that may or may not grow to become waves.

:04:27.:04:32.

The First Minister says divisions in Wales since the Brexit

:04:33.:04:37.

Carwyn Jones, who campaigned for Britain to stay in the EU,

:04:38.:04:43.

says he acknowledges immigration needs to be tackled but repeated

:04:44.:04:48.

his call to keep access to the single market.

:04:49.:04:52.

What cannot change for me is our ability to sell freely

:04:53.:04:57.

If that happens, that can only be bad for Welsh business.

:04:58.:05:01.

Think about it sensibly, if you're an investor,

:05:02.:05:04.

are you going to go somewhere where you can sell freely in the big

:05:05.:05:08.

market or somewhere where you can't sell freely in the big market

:05:09.:05:11.

on the same terms and the same prices.

:05:12.:05:13.

It doesn't take a genius to work out where the investment will go

:05:14.:05:16.

in the future if we don't get the free movement

:05:17.:05:19.

Questions are being asked about how hundreds of motorists became

:05:20.:05:25.

stranded in a flooded field at Festival No.6 in Portmeirion.

:05:26.:05:29.

Many festival-goers are furious that the car park was opened

:05:30.:05:33.

Around 160 people were forced to spend the night at a leisure centre.

:05:34.:05:39.

Not a disaster, not a crisis, but hugely

:05:40.:05:45.

Images like these will be unwelcome to festival organisers.

:05:46.:05:51.

And then there are images like these - 200 people cwtched up

:05:52.:05:58.

Local people have turned out to serve food and warming drinks.

:05:59.:06:04.

Essentials like toiletries have been donated, but there

:06:05.:06:07.

We were stuck in the field from six until midnight, waiting

:06:08.:06:13.

for a tractor to bring us out but the tractors were getting stuck

:06:14.:06:17.

We got sent to Glaslyn, where we stayed overnight and had

:06:18.:06:23.

some food and then we tried again this morning and after a couple

:06:24.:06:26.

of hours standing in the rain, we finally managed to get the car.

:06:27.:06:29.

It's really disappointing that this is clearly a flood plain.

:06:30.:06:32.

It shouldn't have been used in the first place.

:06:33.:06:34.

Others seem more relaxed about it all.

:06:35.:06:38.

They could have planned it a little bit better.

:06:39.:06:41.

I don't think there's much they could do if the weather's

:06:42.:06:43.

Every festival gets like this, doesn't it?

:06:44.:06:49.

In its short life, Festival No.6 has grown in popularity.

:06:50.:06:53.

With Clough Williams-Ellis' Portmeirion as its stunning

:06:54.:06:56.

backdrop, it's become known for the quality of the acts

:06:57.:06:59.

In future, organisers are now being urged to think again

:07:00.:07:04.

There was a contingency plan in place, but perhaps that needed

:07:05.:07:10.

to be a bit firmer and we needed to have that ready to roll

:07:11.:07:14.

when the weather forecast was perhaps predicting a bad day

:07:15.:07:18.

Friday was a perfect day and Sunday was OK,

:07:19.:07:22.

There's something to learn from that.

:07:23.:07:26.

Through much of the day there has been a flow of festival-goers

:07:27.:07:30.

Volunteer 4x4 drivers have been here to help.

:07:31.:07:35.

We're getting cars stuck left, right and centre and it has been

:07:36.:07:38.

We have had a few that have managed to get themselves off,

:07:39.:07:44.

Tonight some cars remain on the site.

:07:45.:07:50.

These are the most mud-bound - the most difficult to move.

:07:51.:07:54.

A 36-year-old man has admitted murdering his neighbour

:07:55.:07:59.

The body of 65-year-old Christine James was discovered

:08:00.:08:04.

after she missed a flight to Florida in March.

:08:05.:08:08.

Kris Wade is due to be sentenced later this month.

:08:09.:08:12.

The mother of a four-year-old boy who died in a house fire

:08:13.:08:16.

near Pontardawe in July has been arrested on suspicion

:08:17.:08:19.

Jac Davies was rescued from a bedroom at his home

:08:20.:08:24.

Three of his siblings escaped unharmed.

:08:25.:08:29.

28-year-old Jennifer Davies has been released on bail.

:08:30.:08:34.

South Wales Police say they're investigating a complaint

:08:35.:08:38.

about the far-right group Britain First after it

:08:39.:08:41.

filmed its supporters at a Cardiff mosque.

:08:42.:08:43.

The force says it has received a complaint from the Al-Manar Centre

:08:44.:08:46.

It followed allegations made in national newspapers

:08:47.:08:51.

about the Mosque's Imam, Shaykh Ali Hammuda,

:08:52.:08:54.

Football, and Wales made a successful start

:08:55.:09:01.

in their World Cup campaign with a win over Moldova in Cardiff.

:09:02.:09:07.

There is a new confidence about Welsh football. The summer happy the

:09:08.:09:27.

euro everything. Expectations are now higher than ever. They are

:09:28.:09:33.

definitely going to wind. Gareth Bale to score, I hope. My son loves

:09:34.:09:39.

Gareth Bale. We are on a high after the Euros so I am quite optimistic.

:09:40.:09:44.

Only a wind would do against one of the weaker sides in the group. 154

:09:45.:09:49.

places separate the teams in the rankings but Wales had to be

:09:50.:09:52.

patient. They eventually made their dominance count. Sam Vokes finished

:09:53.:10:02.

it off. Moldova offered next to nothing. Wales soon saw their lead

:10:03.:10:06.

doubled. Joe Allen will never forget this, his first goal for his

:10:07.:10:12.

country. If Moldova were to get back into the match, they could have done

:10:13.:10:16.

without presenting the ball to one of the greatest players on the

:10:17.:10:22.

planet. 3-0. And Gareth Bale crowned the evening from the penalty spot.

:10:23.:10:27.

That is 24 goals in eight Wales shirt, which moves him within two of

:10:28.:10:33.

Ian Rush's record. The top seeds and people are looking at is a little

:10:34.:10:37.

bit differently. They are not going to come at this as much in the 90

:10:38.:10:41.

minutes. We took our foot off the gas a little bit in the second half,

:10:42.:10:46.

which is to be expected, I suppose, but on the whole we did a

:10:47.:10:50.

professional job. We knew how important it was for us to get off

:10:51.:10:54.

to a winning start. We knew it wouldn't be easy. Being favourites

:10:55.:10:59.

to wind the game at home, we knew they would make it difficult for

:11:00.:11:04.

ourselves. In previous years, we have not coped very well but credit

:11:05.:11:07.

to ourselves tonight, you can see how much we have grown as a team. So

:11:08.:11:17.

the opening game done. It is the first time Wales have started a

:11:18.:11:21.

World Cup qualifying game with a wind in eight years but severed ties

:11:22.:11:25.

lie ahead. Next month it is Austria in Vienna and then Georgia here.

:11:26.:11:28.

The scores on the doors weather-wise?

:11:29.:11:30.

We're still on course for a brief taste of summer this week.

:11:31.:11:36.

Windier and more unsettled later in the week.

:11:37.:11:44.

Tonight we have low cloud, drizzle, mist and fog patches.

:11:45.:11:47.

Parts of the north and east dry and a very humid night.

:11:48.:11:50.

Temperatures not falling below 17 or 18 Celsius in many places.

:11:51.:11:53.

The best of the sunshine in the north and north-east

:11:54.:12:06.

Across the rest of the UK, the south will start grey and misty

:12:07.:12:12.

but most places brightening up with some sunshine.

:12:13.:12:15.

Patchy rain for Northern Ireland and southern Scotland.

:12:16.:12:18.

The north and north-east of Scotland clearer with some sunshine.

:12:19.:12:23.

A top temperature of 26 Celsius in London, where it'll feel muggy.

:12:24.:12:27.

Most places dry with sunny spells but cloudy in parts of the west

:12:28.:12:33.

Highest temperatures of 19 and 20 Celsius in Carmarthenshire.

:12:34.:12:38.

On Wednesday, the wind will shift more to the south-east and that

:12:39.:12:45.

will bring dry air our way from France and more in the way

:12:46.:12:49.

Higher temperatures, up to 26 Celsius in places.

:12:50.:12:54.

A cold front will move through, low pressure over Ireland,

:12:55.:13:00.

so Thursday windier, cooler and fresher

:13:01.:13:03.

Breezy on Friday with some rain and showers as well.

:13:04.:13:09.

Wednesday the warmest day but it won't last long.

:13:10.:13:16.
