:00:00. > :00:09.Wales stood still this morning to remember and pay tribute to those
:00:10. > :00:11.who lost their lives in the Manchester terror attack.
:00:12. > :00:14.After reports of a suspicious vehicle in Newport -
:00:15. > :00:16.the city is getting back to normal as police confirm
:00:17. > :00:21.And Ukip launches its Welsh General Election manifesto -
:00:22. > :00:39.the party says it will cut the cost of politics.

:00:50. > :00:52.Towns and city centres, as well as schools and workplaces
:00:53. > :00:54.came to a standstill as part of a minute's
:00:55. > :01:07.People stopped and fell silent to remember everyone affected
:01:08. > :01:18.It is important that we all have to stand together.
:01:19. > :01:20.We all have feelings about what has happened.
:01:21. > :01:24.We feel for the families and the people who have lost their lives.
:01:25. > :01:27.Their sentiments were echoed in Aberystwyth.
:01:28. > :01:35.It could have been our kids at that concept.
:01:36. > :01:38.I just feel sad for everybody involved.
:01:39. > :01:46.22 people died in the attack at a pop concert, with the youngest
:01:47. > :02:03.As children as well as adults tried to make sense of such terror,
:02:04. > :02:09.In Wrexham, people are displaying their support on the Welsh flag,
:02:10. > :02:12.The flag will stay in the market until Saturday before
:02:13. > :02:16.Proceedings were opposed in the Assembly and in offices
:02:17. > :02:23.and council buildings across the country.
:02:24. > :02:28.Police forces here also paid tribute.
:02:29. > :02:30.Outside the police headquarters, officers lined up
:02:31. > :02:34.One of their own, and off duty officer from Cheshire,
:02:35. > :02:37.64 people were injured on Monday night.
:02:38. > :02:39.The family of one woman badly injured says her
:02:40. > :02:46.Lisa Bridgett was hit by shrapnel which struck her hand and phone,
:02:47. > :02:50.slowing down before hitting her face.
:02:51. > :02:59.Tonight, another sign of the evolving security operation,
:03:00. > :03:10.an increased presence of armed police officers at Holyhead port.
:03:11. > :03:13.North Wales Police say the aim is to reassure travellers and deter
:03:14. > :03:19.Today, Wales showed its support for the city of Manchester.
:03:20. > :03:24.It was their chance to pause and remember and stand
:03:25. > :03:26.in solidarity with those affected as they try to recover.
:03:27. > :03:29.And tonight Newport city centre is getting back to normal
:03:30. > :03:32.after the city centre was cordoned off for hours following reports
:03:33. > :03:37.Police they don't believe the incidents to be terror related
:03:38. > :03:39.but in light of the Manchester attack, they're urging
:03:40. > :03:46.A suspicious car parked outside a shopping centre that for several
:03:47. > :03:52.hours brought Newport to a standstill.
:03:53. > :03:54.Earlier in the day, a bomb disposal robot removed a bag
:03:55. > :03:58.The shopping centre and surrounding streets were evacuated.
:03:59. > :04:06.Shop and office workers were told to wait behind police cordons.
:04:07. > :04:10.All at a time when security is an everybody's minds.
:04:11. > :04:12.Robot and bomb disposal units turning up.
:04:13. > :04:15.They have turned up in Newport before.
:04:16. > :04:18.It has been things as stupid as a box of nails ouside
:04:19. > :04:21.You take a little hesitation when you analyse the situation
:04:22. > :04:26.There were reports of another suspicious device on the nearby
:04:27. > :04:36.The road closures causing major congestion across Newport.
:04:37. > :04:39.This evening, the streets, roads and city centre have reopened.
:04:40. > :04:50.Many here acting calmly and with understanding to today's events.
:04:51. > :04:56.This evening the police say both incidents are not believed to be
:04:57. > :04:58.terror related and they thanked people for their patience.
:04:59. > :05:00.They are now moving this car from outside the shopping centre.
:05:01. > :05:12.It caused widespread disruption across new sport,
:05:13. > :05:17.the result of police precautions at a time when people say
:05:18. > :05:20.And with security heightened and an increased police presence
:05:21. > :05:25.Leanne Wood, has criticised funding cuts to the police in the wake
:05:26. > :05:28.She was appearing on BBC Wales' Ask The Leader programme.
:05:29. > :05:32.It is difficult to imagine doing a job where you have to run into a
:05:33. > :05:37.situation of danger when everybody else is running away.
:05:38. > :05:41.I know that, from the police officers that I have
:05:42. > :05:46.spoken to in recent times, there is a lot of anger there.
:05:47. > :05:53.Also appearing tonight's Ask The Leader programme -
:05:54. > :05:58.He said that people in Western society do not feel they can
:05:59. > :06:00.honestly discuss what he called "problems" that exist
:06:01. > :06:06.There is a strand of Islam which is extreme and fundamentalist who do
:06:07. > :06:08.not believe that women have any place in society, for example.
:06:09. > :06:19.It doesn't matter how tiny the percent is.
:06:20. > :06:26.Meanwhile, launching Ukip's Welsh general
:06:27. > :06:30.election manifesto today, Neil Hamilton, defended his party's
:06:31. > :06:32.decision to resume campaigning - saying terrorism "must be defend
:06:33. > :06:33.by the democratic process continuing.
:06:34. > :06:41.Parties suspended their campaigns for two days
:06:42. > :06:44.Most will resume their national campaigning tomorrow,
:06:45. > :06:48.whilst Ukip decided to restart today.
:06:49. > :06:51.It would be a victory for the terrorists if we cowered away,
:06:52. > :06:54.as he launched his party's Welsh manifesto.
:06:55. > :07:02.Well, there's a promise to reduce the cost of politics.
:07:03. > :07:04.No increase in the number of Assembly Members.
:07:05. > :07:06.And a limit on the cost of government.
:07:07. > :07:08.Those earning the minimum wage would pay no income tax
:07:09. > :07:12.Police and Crime Commissioners would be scrapped.
:07:13. > :07:14.And they would also back the Swansea Bay
:07:15. > :07:22.It also includes pledges on devolved issues such as health and education,
:07:23. > :07:24.highly unlikely to be implemented, given that Ukip Assembly Members
:07:25. > :07:36.Entitled Wales Into The World, Ukip's manifesto offers a vision
:07:37. > :07:38.for the country after Brexit, but there are serious
:07:39. > :07:40.questions about Ukip's future now that we are leaving
:07:41. > :07:49.Since their breakthrough in last year's Assembly election,
:07:50. > :07:52.when they won seats for the very first time, the party's opinion poll
:07:53. > :07:56.It is hard, you are right, and that's why we are in the process
:07:57. > :07:57.of changing people's perceptions of us.
:07:58. > :08:05.Even on the most pessimistic polls,
:08:06. > :08:11.one in 20 of the population supports Ukip.
:08:12. > :08:14.But such support is unlikely to change the fact that Ukip
:08:15. > :08:23.In fact, the party is only standing candidates in 32
:08:24. > :08:26.of the 40 Welsh seats after having a full slate in 2015.
:08:27. > :08:28.Is Ukip going backwards with Neil Hamilton at the helm?
:08:29. > :08:33.You've seen the polls that suggest your personal
:08:34. > :08:38.Yes, but I'm not the leader of the party, I'm not seeking
:08:39. > :08:40.to become Prime Minister, I'm merely the leader
:08:41. > :08:43.of the group in the Assembly, and I can tell you...
:08:44. > :08:45.Even among your own supporters the numbers aren't great.
:08:46. > :08:51.When Christine first took me home to meet her mother,
:08:52. > :08:55.she took the same view of me but I grew on her over the years
:08:56. > :08:58.and I hope I have the same effect on the Welsh people.
:08:59. > :09:00.We'll see in exactly two weeks' time.
:09:01. > :09:07.Two men from north Wales have been charged with the murder
:09:08. > :09:12.21-year-old Shkelzen Dauti also known as "Genny" from Albania,
:09:13. > :09:14.died after being found stabbed in the early
:09:15. > :09:18.27-year-old Christopher Jones, from Denbigh, and Lee Williams,
:09:19. > :09:20.also 27 and from Flintshire, are due before Southampton
:09:21. > :09:27.Two men and two women have been charged following
:09:28. > :09:29.a Dyfed-Powys Police's investigation into historical child abuse
:09:30. > :09:42.place at Rhydygors School in the 70s and 80s, and Cartref-Y-Gelli
:09:43. > :09:56.children's home between 1986 and 1990.
:09:57. > :10:05.A bridge that block the river at the time and led to the flooding of more
:10:06. > :10:08.than 400 homes. Despite the disruption, inconvenience and
:10:09. > :10:15.timescale, this 30 tonne Reg Spann is a welcome arrival. It is one of
:10:16. > :10:20.five sections of a cross link that will provide protection against
:10:21. > :10:25.flooding. When they are ready, they will take out the old bridge and the
:10:26. > :10:32.new bridge will have a new level higher than the old bridge. The
:10:33. > :10:38.bridge would have to be replaced. When the rains came in 20 12,000 of
:10:39. > :10:43.people had to leave their homes and 91-year-old Margaret Hughes died. It
:10:44. > :10:49.was already high and debris piling up led in part to the water bursting
:10:50. > :10:55.its banks. After a couple of days of sunny weather, the river level is
:10:56. > :10:59.low. Hard to believe that the water over to the bridge at all of this
:11:00. > :11:04.area was submerged. Now a higher bridge should reduce that happening
:11:05. > :11:10.again. The spectacle of an 80 foot crane has attracted onlookers, one
:11:11. > :11:17.of the city mayor. He says this work is reassuring for many. When we get
:11:18. > :11:22.more than a day's rein in the winter, the residents are so worried
:11:23. > :11:27.about it. It is unbelievable. This will give tremendous relief to most
:11:28. > :11:31.of our residents. The old bridge will be removed and the project will
:11:32. > :11:34.be completed by winter, when its effectiveness could be put to the
:11:35. > :11:39.test. Time for a look at the weather. Is the sunshine going to
:11:40. > :11:47.continue? For one more day. The warmest day of the year so far. 28
:11:48. > :11:52.Celsius and if anything it could be even hotter tomorrow. If we take a
:11:53. > :11:59.look at the map, a coastal mist and largely clear. Large wins and very
:12:00. > :12:03.mild. Those of 13 Celsius. Closer to the average daytime temperatures for
:12:04. > :12:07.me. High pressure brings settled weather tomorrow, drawing up here
:12:08. > :12:12.from the continent. This front is edging closer. Tomorrow, any early
:12:13. > :12:21.Mr Cockburn back to the coast and turning warm and sunny. With strong
:12:22. > :12:27.sunshine and high UV levels. The weather cloud at times. Temperatures
:12:28. > :12:33.in the mid-20s and high 20s likely in south England. These sunny
:12:34. > :12:37.afternoon with temperatures in the high 20s. The breeze picking up in
:12:38. > :12:42.the west later. High-pressure is likely to break down as we head into
:12:43. > :12:47.the weekend. This cold front will push in from the west overnight on
:12:48. > :12:53.Saturday as it hits the air, increasing risk of thundery showers.
:12:54. > :12:57.Pleasantly warm tomorrow and cloud thickening from the west. Mild,
:12:58. > :13:02.Misty and muddy and thundery showers overnight. Those showers will come
:13:03. > :13:05.in from the south-west on Saturday morning. Improving through the day
:13:06. > :13:12.and south-westerly wins. Still quite warm. The 20s. A much fresher feel
:13:13. > :13:16.on Sunday. Sunny spells and cloud and maybe the odd shower.
:13:17. > :13:22.Temperatures back nearer the May average. And he very much. We will
:13:23. > :13:27.be back with updates from around 6:25am in to BBC Breakfast. From all
:13:28. > :13:28.of us here, thank you for your company and he very good night.
:13:29. > :13:32.Goodbye.
