Plans to give more power to the Assembly could still result

That's according to a committee of Assembly Members.

The UK Government insists the Wales Bill, currently

passing through Parliament, will secure "stronger" devolution.

But a cross party committee in the Senedd says the Bill

Here's our political reporter James Williams.

It's meant to push things forward, but there's concern the Wales Bill

as it stands could roll back Welsh devolution.

The latest warning comes from a committee of Assembly Members.

It isn't going to be a durable settlement.

It might only last for a couple of years, if that.

But more importantly, there are dangers within this bill

that could roll the devolution settlement backwards and that'll be

the first time a Government of Wales Bill has ever done that.

From taxi licensing to speed limits, energy projects such as fracking,

to control over the voting age in assembly elections.

Just some of the powers on offer under the Wales Bill.

Now, the main point of contention is about the structure of devolution.

As it stands, the areas Assembly Members here

in the Senedd can make laws on are written down.

Essentially, under this new proposed new system,

it would be those areas where AMs could not make laws that

would be written down - it would be a list of powers

But there's concern the list, which has already been

Thousands of farm workers have their wages protected thanks

The committee says it wouldn't be possible to pass that law under

I think there has been more thought put into this Wales Bill than any

previous piece of legislation to do with devolution and I recently

delivered a lecture where I argued the last thing we wanted to do

In terms of rolling back the devolution settlement,

I think it is almost a deliberate dishonesty on behalf

Yet, criticism of the current Bill extends beyond the Senedd,

with some pointing the finger of blame at Westminster.

I think there is a general lack of interest in Welsh

We are very much the poor relations when it comes to discussions,

even behind Northern Ireland in this respect.

When you put it together it comes up with a pretty weak Bill that does

not pay any serious attention to some constitutional principles

and ambitions for the devolution settlement in Wales.

The Wales Bill's grand ambition is to solidify

the foundations of devolution, but many want it taken back

Up to 100,000 litres of Kerosene has leaked from a major fuel pipeline

It's already had an impact on local wildlife, with many fish found dead

The incident has been linked to repair work on a major pipeline

in the area which carries fuel from Pembroke refinery

Valero, the pipeline owner, has apologised.

In the quiet Carmarthenshire countryside, teams have been working

around the clock to prevent tens of thousands of litres of kerosene

from causing major damage to the local environment.

The volume at the moment, we are working on estimates.

It is around about 70,000 - 100,000 litres of oil

However, the company acted very quickly and brought on-board

specialist companies, as you can see, to help gather

the oil, as they are doing here and they have been fortunate

enough in actually recapturing about 60,000 litres earlier today.

The consequences of the kerosene spill from a nearby fuel pipeline

Already, local anglers have pulled a number of dead fish out

Just a few hundred yards down the road behind me is where work

is being carried out to repair a defect on a high pressure fuel

line which runs under the eastbound carriageway.

It is not certain that the moment whether the work being carried

out here has caused the kerosene to leak.

Some locals say they noticed oil in the river two days ago.

They then contacted the relevant authorities immediately.

Since then, there continues to be a strong smell of kerosene vapour

in the air and people have been informed to keep their windows shut.

The river affected by the spill runs through local

polluted and will be polluted for years to come.

This is not something that is going to get better overnight.

Once you kill everything in the river, it's gone.

Work will continue here for a number of days to minimise the impact

Public Health Wales says it is unlikely that anyone exposed

to fuel oil for a short period of time will have any long-term

health effects but they are advising anyone who comes into contact

with the oil should seek medical attention if they become unwell.

Football and Chris Coleman's men have drawn 2-2 against

4,000 fans have travelled to Vienna to watch Wales,

On a wet, grey and miserable night in Vienna, quit the national side

lift the autumnal gloom for the 4000 who travelled here? A win for Wales.

I wouldn't have come out here otherwise. Great trip, beautiful

city, nice people. Hopefully top it off with three points to take back

to Cardiff. The players gave the fans plenty to shout about. Gareth

Bale with the first real chance. If the goalkeeper was surprised that

one, he certainly didn't see this strike coming. A volley to silence

the Vienna crowd. Joe Allen at his brilliant best. It is said that

Austria are always start well and then fade. Not tonight. A gaping

hole emerged in the Wales defence. Arnautovic pounds. The Austria

manager said Wales have been lucky of late. Their second goal of the

night was certainly fortunate. The ball went off and Austrian leg.

Second half and Wales sloppy. The ball given away too easily.

Arnautovic took full advantage for his second. And he could have had a

hat-trick late on but both sides had to settle for a draw. Very difficult

game. We knew they are a quality side. They are at home and it was a

great test for us and we have come through it and got a point out of

it. And that is important to come to these type of places. We knew it

would be a difficult match and the important thing was to come away

with something. We look forward to Sunday now. Wales don't have too

much time to reflect on tonight 's draw. Their next match is in just

three days. The players fly home tonight and face Georgia at the

Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

A photography exhibition, looking at the lives of people

who live and work in Port Talbot, has opened in the town.

The works are by 12 photographers from around the world

was showing, so we decided to like focus a bit on it and maybe

High pressure is keeping things nice and quiet but we will see the

temperatures dropping a degree or so, day by day. Through tomorrow, we

can look forward to some bright spells but it will feel much colder

as we see the drop in those temperatures tomorrow. Through

tonight, variable amounts of cloud and also clear skies. Some isolated

showers but most of us getting away with a dry night. Quite a breezy

night as well. Tomorrow high-pressure still over

Scandinavia, dragging in easterly winds taking of the -- the edge of

the temperatures. First thing tomorrow morning, it is a chilly

start. You will need an extra layer. But we will see a few showers across

parts of the north-east. The best of the bright weather in Pembrokeshire,

Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion. Scotland enjoying the best of the

drier weather and we do have some showers across Northern Ireland,

England and Wales. Tomorrow afternoon, some bright or sunny

spells. Generally quite a bit of around. The winds will be lighter

than today. It will feel pleasant in the sunshine. Tomorrow night, fairly

quiet. Variable amounts of cloud with a few isolated showers.

Temperatures similar to tonight. Staying fairly settled as we head

into the weekend. Saturday, a lot of dry weather to look forward to.

Variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells. Just the risk of the odd

isolated shower. And that theme will continue into Sunday the start of

week. We'll be back in Breakfast with

updates from 6.25 in the morning. From all the late team,

thanks for watching.
