:01:06. > :01:13.In the early days, it all seemed so simple. Don't forget, choose your
:01:14. > :01:17.doctor now. But the NHS has changed a lot since then and in part of the
:01:18. > :01:22.country, the challenge now is not so much choosing a family doctor about
:01:23. > :01:24.finding one in the first place. I'd developed as a GP in one of the
:01:25. > :01:29.poorest boroughs of Swansea. She also teaches at the city's medical
:01:30. > :01:33.school. -- Heidi Phillips is one of the GPs. We are about to have a
:01:34. > :01:37.senior partner retire as we cannot get a replacement partner to take
:01:38. > :02:03.over that role, so I recognise personality challenges. To
:02:04. > :02:07.offer me mineral wealth is absolutely fine, but my husband
:02:08. > :02:10.needs a job as well. And the family connections are all there as well.
:02:11. > :02:12.As part of its campaign to try to persuade doctors from around the
:02:13. > :02:15.world to come to Wales, there are cash incentives. ?20,000 will be
:02:16. > :02:18.paid to those who train in areas of long-term shortages. As part of a
:02:19. > :02:21.new contract, every trainee doctor, regardless of their speciality, will
:02:22. > :02:23.get predicted time to study. But GP leaders took to the airwaves this
:02:24. > :02:25.morning complaining I've missed opportunity. There wasn't so much
:02:26. > :02:29.opportunity to use those wheels of a discharge to fix the problems we
:02:30. > :02:34.face in general practice. But all we have got as a marketing campaign.
:02:35. > :02:37.Scotland, England have just announced massive increases in the
:02:38. > :02:40.funding going to general practice. We had the opportunity to do that
:02:41. > :02:45.and so far it is not part of the wealth of. This afternoon, GPs have
:02:46. > :02:48.a chance to raise their concerns with the First Minister. It is not
:02:49. > :02:53.just about GPs. They are important but it is about looking at nurses,
:02:54. > :02:57.pharmacists, therapists to provide a wider comprehensive service so that
:02:58. > :03:00.people know how to go to when they have a particular condition. But it
:03:01. > :03:10.was useful today for me to listen to the GPs that I met here, just to get
:03:11. > :03:15.a better understanding of the pressures they feel they are under.
:03:16. > :03:16.But what matters most is not what they think but whether these
:03:17. > :03:20.second-year Swansea medical students will be more likely to stay in
:03:21. > :03:22.Wales. It all plays a part, but I think the main considerations are
:03:23. > :03:26.about family, friends and the way you form your life. I think it's
:03:27. > :03:31.definitely will be attractive. I think there is a lot of pressure
:03:32. > :03:35.being a GP and for me I think it is quite a lonely profession. Since the
:03:36. > :03:39.early days, the NHS has changed dramatically. But most of the care
:03:40. > :03:42.most people get is still delivered through the GP surgery. That is why

:04:34. > :04:37.being tracked down in Tanzania. Yesterday, he went on trial at
:04:38. > :04:41.Cardiff Crown Court for her murder. Sammy Almahri had already indicated
:04:42. > :04:44.he would plead guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of

:04:51. > :04:55.morning, on the second day of what was to have been a four-week trial,
:04:56. > :05:01.he decided to change that plea. He admitted he had murdered Nadine
:05:02. > :05:08.Aburas. Yesterday, the prosecution described the strangling as the
:05:09. > :05:13.deliberate killing of a defenceless woman by a jealous, angry and
:05:14. > :05:16.dangerous man. After the guilty plea, there were tears from an

:05:37. > :05:42.given the time to grieve and remember our beautiful girl. I will
:05:43. > :05:46.get a full statement after sentence. The court heard how the couple met

:06:59. > :07:13.correspondent, Arwyn Jones. Rewind nine years, when the Labour
:07:14. > :07:19.and Plaid Cymru leaders joined together to form the One Wales
:07:20. > :07:23.coalition government. Labour was short of a majority so some Plaid
:07:24. > :07:28.Cymru members became Cabinet ministers. Ahead of the conference
:07:29. > :07:30.this weekend, Leanne Wood briefed journalists that they were actively
:07:31. > :07:34.considering whether to seek a coalition with Labour again, and
:07:35. > :07:38.that the discussion was ongoing. This evening, however, after some
:07:39. > :07:42.backlash from within her party, and criticism from other parties, she
:07:43. > :07:49.wrote back from her earlier comments. We are not in 2000 79.
:07:50. > :07:53.This time it is very different. Brexit has changed everything. From
:07:54. > :07:57.Plaid Cymru's perspective, we are driven by what is in Wales's best
:07:58. > :08:02.interests, and at this present time we feel the arrangement that we have
:08:03. > :08:05.got is the best one that we can proceed for wealth at this moment in
:08:06. > :08:08.time. So why would they be considering there's any way? It all
:08:09. > :08:13.comes down to the numbers in this place, the Chamber in Cardiff Bay.
:08:14. > :08:16.We have got 60 members, so for the government to get all of its
:08:17. > :08:22.policies through, it needs a majority of 30 or more. At the
:08:23. > :08:26.moment, Labour only has 29, so just one short of that majority. But if
:08:27. > :08:31.it did go into coalition with Plaid Cymru, it would mean 11 additional
:08:32. > :08:36.Assembly members, with a grand total of 40, more than enough. But while
:08:37. > :08:41.the leader might be considering that arrangement, 1am told me the group
:08:42. > :08:44.in the Assembly had already voted against a coalition, and that the
:08:45. > :08:49.party faithful would not be keen. I think I am extremely confident in
:08:50. > :08:54.saying that the vast majority of members do not want a coalition with
:08:55. > :08:58.a very toxic Labour Government. As a loyal member of the Plaid Cymru
:08:59. > :09:02.group, I think in public I need to convey the line which has been voted
:09:03. > :09:07.upon by the group, that we do not want a coalition with Labour. Of
:09:08. > :09:12.course, Plaid Cymru is already working with Labour in the Assembly.
:09:13. > :09:16.The two parties have an agreement which means Carwyn Jones could
:09:17. > :09:23.become a minister in May and could pass a budget earlier this week. It
:09:24. > :09:28.is called a compact and means Plaid Cymru also has a say in some of the
:09:29. > :09:31.government's policy. Labour says it is happy with the arrangement as it
:09:32. > :09:33.is and some observers think it serves both sides well. I do not
:09:34. > :09:36.think it would be a temptation for Plaid Cymru or the Welsh Government.
:09:37. > :09:40.When he was government stands, they have got 30 members if you include
:09:41. > :09:45.Kirsty Williams, and two independence, plus the compact with
:09:46. > :09:54.Plaid Cymru. And from Plaid Cymru's perspective, ad hoc deals that are
:09:55. > :09:58.reactive and have specific cons are surely more -- outcomes are surely
:09:59. > :09:59.more beneficial. They may become closer but might not quite joined

:11:43. > :11:46.31 millimetres of rain, less than one fifth the total monthly average.
:11:47. > :11:50.And there is plenty more dry weather to come over the few days. Much of
:11:51. > :11:55.the country is right on it. The clouds clearing. It will turn
:11:56. > :12:00.chilly, if not cold, some ground frost in the countryside by the end
:12:01. > :12:04.of the night. If you mist and fog patches of. It chilly, cold start
:12:05. > :12:08.first thing tomorrow. The mist and fog will slowly lift. Much of the
:12:09. > :12:12.country them dry with some bright spells on sunshine. Just the odd
:12:13. > :12:16.light shower perhaps in some places. Across the rest of the UK, there
:12:17. > :12:21.will be a few showers in East Anglia tomorrow, with a cool breeze. A
:12:22. > :12:24.little rain in the far north-west of Scotland. Elsewhere, mostly dry.
:12:25. > :12:32.Clive, sunny spells, just one or two about showers in the afternoon. A
:12:33. > :12:36.highs of 12 in Liverpool. In Wales tomorrow afternoon, most places dry
:12:37. > :12:40.with a mixture of cloud. Some sunshine, the Ord, isolated light
:12:41. > :12:45.shower. Most listeners dry, top temperatures 11-14dC with light

:12:49. > :12:52.quite cold with a fairly widespread ground frost. A few mist and fog
:12:53. > :13:01.patches or so. These will slowly lift on Saturday morning, leaving a
:13:02. > :13:03.dry day. There will be some cloud around but we will all see some
:13:04. > :13:06.sunshine, I think, and that easterly breeze picking up on the side. Then
:13:07. > :13:09.on Sunday most places dry. Just one or two showers perhaps in the north.
:13:10. > :13:12.There will be some cloud around, with some sunshine in parts of the
:13:13. > :13:17.south and the West. Some men may reach the Bristol Channel by Sunday
:13:18. > :13:26.evening. A stronger easterly wind on Sunday, that will make it feel cold.
:13:27. > :13:28.Into next week, we may see a little rain on Monday. Otherwise, plenty
:13:29. > :13:30.more dry weather to come. See you soon!
