0:00:01 > 0:00:01Here on BBC One it's time for the news where you are.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Welcome to Wales Today.
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Our top stories...
0:00:09 > 0:00:12As the Prime Minister sets out her vision for Brexit,
0:00:12 > 0:00:13what will it mean for Wales?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And Assembly Members have tonight voted to approve the UK
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Government's Wales Bill, meaning some new powers will be
0:00:18 > 0:00:23devolved to Cardiff Bay.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Good evening.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39"A Brexit that works for the whole of the United Kingdom
0:00:39 > 0:00:41outside the single market."
0:00:41 > 0:00:43That's the promise from Prime Minister Theresa May
0:00:43 > 0:00:46as she ended months of speculation.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48She also said the Welsh government would be fully
0:00:48 > 0:00:50engaged in the process.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54The First Minister, Carwyn Jones, responded to her speech by saying
0:00:54 > 0:00:57she was heading in the wrong direction for the good
0:00:57 > 0:00:58of the economy.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Here's our Poltiical Editor, Nick Servini.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05The wheels are slowly turning on what many considered
0:01:05 > 0:01:08to be a hard Brexit.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12And a hard Brexit is, appropriately, what the boss and most of the staff
0:01:12 > 0:01:16are after at this steel coating plant in Newport.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19The European single market aims to make trade easier by allowing
0:01:19 > 0:01:24the free movement of goods, services and people.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27A departure in order to control immigration could open
0:01:27 > 0:01:30the door to trade tariffs.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Despite that, there's confidence here that new deals can be done
0:01:33 > 0:01:36outside of the single market.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40We buy a lot of material from the EU, and we export to the EU.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43So we've got to work out a deal that's good for both sides.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46A different industry, and a different view.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It's not a hard, but a softer approach to Brexit, which this
0:01:50 > 0:01:53yoghurt maker on Anglesey wants.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57The firm exports between 30-50% of its goods to the EU,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01and the owner feels businesses like his are better off inside.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06The simplicity of just being able to sell products into Europe
0:02:06 > 0:02:10without being stopped at the borders and checked over and redoing
0:02:10 > 0:02:14all the paperwork.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Theresa May says staying in the single market would not mean
0:02:16 > 0:02:18leaving the EU at all.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24And she had this message for the devolved administrations.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Part of that would mean working very carefully to ensure that as powers
0:02:27 > 0:02:30are repatriated from Brussels back to Britain, the right powers
0:02:30 > 0:02:34are returned to Westminster and the right powers are passed
0:02:34 > 0:02:37to the devolved administrations of Scotland, Wales
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and Northern Ireland.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Carwyn Jones said he'd continue to push for full and unfettered
0:02:43 > 0:02:47access to the single market, despite today's announcement.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51And he called for the Assembly to have a say.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We've got to get a deal that's going to last.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58It has to be agreed as widely as possible.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Why on earth would Whitehall take decisions on agriculture
0:03:01 > 0:03:03in Wales and Scotland that are the responsibility of the
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Welsh and Scottish Governments?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Watch exports are particularly reliant on markets
0:03:06 > 0:03:13in the EU for trade.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15So how has the departure from the single market gone
0:03:15 > 0:03:16down in another market, Pontypool?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19An area that, like the rest of Wales, voted to leave.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20It's far right.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23This country used to be Great Britain and one time.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Now it's just a place for immigrants.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I think for the normal ordinary people, it is not the right thing.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Why's that?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, I just think it would be, going forward with younger people,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35it just would be very detrimental.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Theresa May's argument is that people voted to leave including
0:03:37 > 0:03:40in places like this, Pontypool, with their eyes wide open.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43In other words, they did so knowing full well that leaving the single
0:03:43 > 0:03:47market would form part of the deal.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Of course, what she's got to do now for everyone,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52and not just those who voted to leave, is to try to do that
0:03:52 > 0:03:56without trade being affected.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Businesses in particular wanted clarity and so after seven months
0:03:59 > 0:04:03of speculation and long periods of silence from ministers,
0:04:03 > 0:04:09an early glimpse of what Brexit would look like.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Assembly members have tonight backed the UK
0:04:13 > 0:04:16government's Wales Bill, by 38 votes to 17.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It will move responsibility for several areas from London
0:04:20 > 0:04:23to Cardiff for the first time, giving Welsh ministers power
0:04:23 > 0:04:26over energy, transport, teacher's pay and some control
0:04:26 > 0:04:28of income tax.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33But the leader of the Welsh Conservatives says devolution
0:04:33 > 0:04:38will eventually need another rethink as powers come back from Brussels.
0:04:38 > 0:04:4220 years ago, Tony Blair swept to power, promising devolution.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Since then, the extent of the Assembly's power
0:04:45 > 0:04:50has been argued over and tinkered with repeatedly.
0:04:50 > 0:04:57Tonight the latest set of changes was approved by AMs.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00And before it's even become law, talk has already
0:05:00 > 0:05:02turned to what's next.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Some powers over energy, more power over tax.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09For some, the Wales Bill has a pick and mix feel that's left
0:05:09 > 0:05:14them undernourished.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yes, there are some areas that are unsatisfactory,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19and there are areas that are yet to be addressed that will need to be
0:05:19 > 0:05:20addressed in the future.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23But on balance we took the decision to support the LCM this afternoon,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27although that decision hasn't been easy.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The First Minister is eyeing further powers, including
0:05:30 > 0:05:35the tax on plane tickets - air passenger duty.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Devolving it would allow the Welsh Government to make flights
0:05:38 > 0:05:40from Cardiff cheaper than those in England.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42The Welsh Tory leader, too, would like that duty devolved.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45But for now he thinks this bill strikes the right balance.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'm particularly pleased to say that income tax will be coming to this
0:05:48 > 0:05:51institution to make sure that we do have greater accountability
0:05:51 > 0:05:55in the way the money is spent in this institution
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and by the government.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Mr Davis also said that Brexit means devolution will eventually
0:06:01 > 0:06:05need another rethink.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08And there was a nod to that in the Prime Minister's big Brexit
0:06:08 > 0:06:11speech in London earlier.
0:06:11 > 0:06:17Some Labour AMs are backing this bill to protect powers
0:06:17 > 0:06:20they already have, like over agriculture with EU negotiations
0:06:20 > 0:06:22due to start soon.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Plaid Cymru decided to oppose, saying this bill takes power away
0:06:25 > 0:06:30from Cardiff Bay and hoards it in Westminster.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33We welcome those aspects of the bill which enabled the future
0:06:33 > 0:06:36devolution of income tax, control of our own elections
0:06:36 > 0:06:41and the provisions over energy and fracking.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45But let there be no doubt.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48We in Plaid Cymru want to go much, much further
0:06:48 > 0:06:51than what is on offer here.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55The only reason that we are going to oppose this
0:06:55 > 0:06:57is because of the provision to remove the requirement
0:06:57 > 0:07:00for the referendum to trigger income tax raising powers,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05which we think is a breach of faith with the Welsh people.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's not the end of the road for the Wales Bill.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Parliament needs to sign off on it.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And after that, few expect this to be the end
0:07:12 > 0:07:17of the road for devolution.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Planned changes to the way women in Wales are screened for cervical
0:07:20 > 0:07:22cancer could help detect an extra 20 cancers a year, according
0:07:22 > 0:07:25to Public Health Wales.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28In future, instead of studying cervical cells for any changes,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32cells will be screened for the main cause of cervical cancer,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36the HPV virus.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40A pilot programme will start in April.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Rugby, and Sam Warburton is no longer Wales captain.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's been confirmed Alun Wyn Jones will take over.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Interim Head Coach Rob Howley says he wants Warburton
0:07:47 > 0:07:50to concentrate on his own game.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Seven uncapped players are included in the 36 man squad
0:07:53 > 0:07:58for the Six Nations.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let's see what the weather has in store.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Here's Derek Brockway.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Good evening.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Parts of mid Wales saw a little sunshine today,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08but for most of us it's been grey and dreary.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12This picture was taken by one of our Weather Watchers in Monmouthshire.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14It will change tonight.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Misty in places, some hill fog.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19The odd spot of light rain and drizzle about.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Otherwise a dry night.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Too much cloud for any frost, with the lowest
0:08:23 > 0:08:26temperature of seven Celsius.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28For tomorrow, a similar story.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Misty and places in the morning with plenty of cloud.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Again, the odd spot of light rain or drizzle, but no more than that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Maybe, if we're lucky, a little bit of brightness
0:08:37 > 0:08:40and sunshine in Bangor.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Across the rest of the UK, mixed fortunes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Many places right and cloudy with mist and the odd spot or drizzle.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Most of the mainly far north and north-west of Scotland.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53The best of the sunshine in south-east England.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57It will be chilly in the south-east - only four Celsius in Norwich.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Milder in the north and west - 11 in Inverness.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03In Wales tomorrow afternoon, most places will be cloudy and dry.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Some mist in Powys.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09A few places may brighten up with temperature similar
0:09:09 > 0:09:11to today, up to ten Celsius on the north coast.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15A chilly six in Monmouth and Brecon.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Tomorrow night again will have some mist.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20The odd spot of drizzle.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Otherwise dry and fairly cloudy, and a frost free night.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Into Thursday, mist will slowly lift.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30The cance for a little sunshine in parts of the South and West.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The odd light shower in Monmouthshire.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Otherwise dry with light winds.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37A similar story for Friday, cloudy and mostly dry.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Seven degree in Aberystwyth.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44This will change over the weekend with high pressure keeping things
0:09:44 > 0:09:45mostly dry unsettled - and hopefully with
0:09:45 > 0:09:49a little sunshine.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50That's Wales Today.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Thank you for watching.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56From all of us on the programme, goodnight.
