:00:00. > :00:00.Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight's top stories:
:00:07. > :00:08.Prime Minister Theresa May says she'll listen to the Welsh
:00:09. > :00:13.but they won't have a seat at the negotiating table.
:00:14. > :00:16.And Francesco Guidolin is sacked as Swansea City's head coach
:00:17. > :00:35.and replaced by the American Bob Bradley.
:00:36. > :00:39.Will Wales' voice be heard when it comes to negotiating Britain's exit
:00:40. > :00:43.The Prime Minister has told BBC Wales the Welsh Government WILL be
:00:44. > :00:45.involved in discussions, but she stressed it'll
:00:46. > :00:48.be HER government that'll negotiate with the EU.
:00:49. > :00:51.There'll be no seat at the table for the Welsh Government.
:00:52. > :01:02.From the Conservative conference in Birmingham, David Cornock.
:01:03. > :01:08.In question, and no one can be certain of the answer, or how to do
:01:09. > :01:12.it while keeping the United Kingdom together. The Prime Minister told me
:01:13. > :01:17.the Welsh government would be involved in discussions preparing
:01:18. > :01:20.for Brexit, but... Of course, it will be the UK who is
:01:21. > :01:25.negotiating with the European Union in terms of the terms for Brexit. I
:01:26. > :01:30.want to make a real success of it, but in doing our preparations, I
:01:31. > :01:32.want to listen to the devolved administrations to hear the
:01:33. > :01:35.particular issues in different parts of the UK, so they are fully
:01:36. > :01:40.engaged. So, if the Welsh government thought
:01:41. > :01:45.it was going to get a seat at the wrecks it stable, it can think
:01:46. > :01:47.again. Theresa May is clear that it is her government and the government
:01:48. > :01:52.alone that will be negotiating Britain's departure from the
:01:53. > :01:55.European Union. The First Minister insisted his voice would still be
:01:56. > :01:58.heard. What the UK Government said is
:01:59. > :02:02.effectively that they have to leave the negotiations. I agree with that,
:02:03. > :02:08.but it makes perfect sense to get as much planning as possible across the
:02:09. > :02:11.UK. The UK Government not looking to impose a final settlement, when they
:02:12. > :02:16.might have this agreement from elsewhere in the UK. So, so far, we
:02:17. > :02:19.have had the level of engagement that we would expect.
:02:20. > :02:23.But Plaid Cymru said it was an affront to democracy.
:02:24. > :02:28.I have been quite critical of the First Minister, and particularly in
:02:29. > :02:35.comparison with the effort and action that has gone in on the part
:02:36. > :02:38.of the Scottish Government. Wales is unique in its economic position, and
:02:39. > :02:42.it needs to have a very strong and loud voice in the middle of this,
:02:43. > :02:44.including a voice in the negotiations.
:02:45. > :02:48.Back in Birmingham, the Conservatives are preparing for
:02:49. > :02:54.Britain to leave the EU. Conservative MEP meants? They will
:02:55. > :02:58.be around for long. Theresa May's plan to start the
:02:59. > :03:02.Brexit process early next year means Britain's MEPs, including four from
:03:03. > :03:05.Wales, will lose their jobs, but a clear message from the new Prime
:03:06. > :03:07.Minister that when it comes to leading the United Kingdom's nations
:03:08. > :03:09.out of the EU, she is in charge. An 18 year-old-man has pleaded
:03:10. > :03:12.guilty to the kidnap and rape of a 62 year-old-woman
:03:13. > :03:14.who was walking her dog Jack Karl Thomas Williams appeared
:03:15. > :03:18.at Mold Crown Court. The woman needed hospital treatment
:03:19. > :03:23.after the assault in August. It's emerged a nursery worker has
:03:24. > :03:27.been dismissed after a young boy was left alone for more than
:03:28. > :03:30.two hours in a minibus on one It happened outside Camau Bach
:03:31. > :03:34.in Aberystwyth in July. In a separate incident,
:03:35. > :03:37.police have confirmed a man entered the nursery without
:03:38. > :03:40.permission last week. There were no children
:03:41. > :03:43.in the room at the time. There's a new man in charge
:03:44. > :03:46.at Swansea City, after the club The former USA national team boss
:03:47. > :03:53.Bob Bradley is his replacement, becoming the first American to take
:03:54. > :03:56.charge of a Premier League side. Swansea Supporters Trust says it's
:03:57. > :04:00.frustrated and angry with the way the club handled the sacking.
:04:01. > :04:16.Ben Price reports. He is the fourth manager to leave
:04:17. > :04:19.the club during his six seasons in the Premier League. This lunchtime,
:04:20. > :04:25.Swansea city announced it is to part company with Francesco Guidolin.
:04:26. > :04:28.Despite an improved performance, Saturday's 2-1 defeat against
:04:29. > :04:31.Liverpool meant time was up for the Italian after nine months in the
:04:32. > :04:38.job. I saw my team play 95 minutes with
:04:39. > :04:46.character, with good quality overall in the first half, and I think if we
:04:47. > :04:49.play in this way, we can turn the situation.
:04:50. > :04:53.But it will be the job of this man to turn the situation around.
:04:54. > :04:57.Bob Bradley will become the Premier League's first American manager when
:04:58. > :05:03.he takes over before next weekend's trip to Arsenal. So, who is Bob
:05:04. > :05:07.Bradley? Unusually, Bradley started his managerial career at the age of
:05:08. > :05:11.22 in the US. He has experience of managing club sides around the
:05:12. > :05:16.world, including in France and Norway. He also coached the men's US
:05:17. > :05:20.national team, who topped their World Cup group ahead of England in
:05:21. > :05:23.2010 before losing in the last 16 of that tournament.
:05:24. > :05:27.He is a no-nonsense manager. He is a guy who likes to have what badly
:05:28. > :05:33.calls "Real conversations" with people, whether it is players,
:05:34. > :05:36.media, anyone. Sometimes, those can be uncomfortable conversations, but
:05:37. > :05:40.he is fearless. The Premier League years have been
:05:41. > :05:43.up and down for the Swansea faithful. There have been relegation
:05:44. > :05:49.battles, but also top ten finishes, and League Cup win, and top European
:05:50. > :05:54.football. Familiarise themselves with new managers has also become a
:05:55. > :05:56.trend. So what are they make of the new management?
:05:57. > :06:00.I'm not sure Bob Bradley knows enough about a club and our way of
:06:01. > :06:04.playing to reinstate that at the moment, because I don't think anyone
:06:05. > :06:09.knows what our best 11 is, even at the moment, within the club.
:06:10. > :06:12.The Liberty Stadium has already welcomed two American businessmen,
:06:13. > :06:16.with plans to improve the club's future off the field. Fans will now
:06:17. > :06:17.help I would hope another American will be able to improve performances
:06:18. > :06:18.and results on it. He's been called the King of
:06:19. > :06:21.Painters and the Painter of Kings. Once one of the world's richest
:06:22. > :06:23.living artists, Andrew Vicari died He's best known for painting some
:06:24. > :06:28.of the world's wealthiest Sarah Hibbard looks
:06:29. > :06:40.back at his life. Andrew Vicari first thought of
:06:41. > :06:47.becoming an artist when he won a gold medal Abbey National Eisteddfod
:06:48. > :06:52.at the age of 12. There was a telegram for my father
:06:53. > :06:57.saying I had one. I receive ?10 and a gold-medal. I said, that is the
:06:58. > :07:01.life for me! So easy! Born in Port Talbot, he attended art
:07:02. > :07:05.school in London before deciding to tour Wales to paint the faces of
:07:06. > :07:08.Welsh people, but it was outside Wales that he found fame and
:07:09. > :07:13.fortune. After being introduced to the Arab world by a friend at the
:07:14. > :07:18.Foreign Office in the 1970s, he was adopted as the official artist to
:07:19. > :07:22.the Saudi royal family. In 1991, he painted over 200 canvases depicting
:07:23. > :07:31.the Gulf War. They were later bought for millions by an anonymous Arab.
:07:32. > :07:33.He is a guy who wanted adventure in life. He was born into a fairly grey
:07:34. > :07:36.landscape in post-war Neath, but his dreams were in Technicolor, and they
:07:37. > :07:39.wanted adventure, and he travelled the world.
:07:40. > :07:43.In 2002, he was commissioned to paint a mural to break an apparent
:07:44. > :07:47.curse and the South stand dressing room of then Stadium in Cardiff,
:07:48. > :07:53.where teams had lost 11 matches in a row. At the height of his fame, he
:07:54. > :07:57.was estimated to be worth ?92 million, and listed as Britain's
:07:58. > :08:02.18th richest person. It was not to last. In 2014, he filed for
:08:03. > :08:06.bankruptcy. But his legacy will live on in the Middle East, where there
:08:07. > :08:07.are three museums dedicated to his work.
:08:08. > :08:09.The life of the artist Andrew Vicari.
:08:10. > :08:14.The weather forecast for Wales now - here's Sue Charles.
:08:15. > :08:21.Good evening. It is a pretty quiet week. Looking largely dry with sunny
:08:22. > :08:25.spells, often breezy, but with chilly nights. A blocking ridge of
:08:26. > :08:29.high pressure over Scandinavia is keeping our weather settled over the
:08:30. > :08:33.next view days, dominant enough to keep these friends in the Atlantic
:08:34. > :08:38.at bay. So overnight, staying dry with clear spells, some patchiness
:08:39. > :08:41.and fog forming, not to dance, because of the breeze, and
:08:42. > :08:45.temperatures in single figures in towns across mid Wales, but colder
:08:46. > :08:49.in rural areas. Tomorrow, more of the same after a chilly start. It
:08:50. > :08:52.will be fine and dry with sunny spells, and that the area of high
:08:53. > :08:58.pressure keeps things fine and settled for most of the UK, just
:08:59. > :09:01.some patchy Fairweather cloud at times, breezy, maybe some drizzle
:09:02. > :09:06.across the Northern Ireland and western Scotland, and coolest here
:09:07. > :09:11.as well, nearer the front, 15 Celsius in north-west Scotland, 18
:09:12. > :09:14.in south-east England. Across Wales, bright and breezy, south-easterly
:09:15. > :09:20.winds, but again, feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine. I is a 15
:09:21. > :09:26.Celsius, 17 Swansea. Tomorrow night into Wednesday, dry and chilly
:09:27. > :09:30.overnight. A subtle change of these isobars moved from a south-easterly
:09:31. > :09:34.to a more easterly direction, a cooler wind direction. Similar on
:09:35. > :09:38.Wednesday, sunny spells, the best in the West, variable cloud. It should
:09:39. > :09:42.stay dry and that easterly breeze develops strongest along the coast,
:09:43. > :09:48.just a slight dip in temperature of 14-16. Then looking largely fine and
:09:49. > :09:52.dry for the rest of the week. Chilly nights, plenty of autumnal sunshine,
:09:53. > :09:56.a bit cooler later in the week, maybe a bit more cloudy as well.
:09:57. > :09:58.Could be thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle, but no significant
:09:59. > :09:59.rain in the forecast. That's Wales Today.
:10:00. > :10:03.Goodnight.
