:00:21. > :00:25.Ruption is expected on the A48 in Carmarthenshire next weekend -
:00:26. > :00:27.when the road is closed to fix a fractured pipeline.
:00:28. > :00:29.So far, nearly a 150,000 litres of kerosene have leaked
:00:30. > :00:41.Normally tranquil part of the countryside. The silence broken by
:00:42. > :00:44.these machines. The purpose was to minimise the impact of an oil spill
:00:45. > :00:52.on the environment. The initial estimate of around 70,000 litres has
:00:53. > :00:55.now risen to 140,000 of kerosene. It is coming from a pipeline which
:00:56. > :00:58.carries the oil from the Pembroke refinery. With the cause of the
:00:59. > :01:05.league still unknown that figure could rise. We have been told there
:01:06. > :01:10.is an estimated 140,000 beaters. I think today we have been told 88,000
:01:11. > :01:14.has been recovered. That is a significant figure this close to
:01:15. > :01:17.when the incident happened. The fractured pipe is 12 metres below
:01:18. > :01:22.ground and to fix the problem the A48 will have to be excavated,
:01:23. > :01:27.meaning closure in both directions over a weekend. Natural resources
:01:28. > :01:31.Wales said about half the spilt material has been recovered from the
:01:32. > :01:37.water. And that it is working closely with the pipeline owner to
:01:38. > :01:42.minimise the impact on wildlife. The environmental consequences of the
:01:43. > :01:45.spillage are visible. And now a local assembly member is concerned
:01:46. > :01:51.about the potential impact on the local economy. The proposal to close
:01:52. > :01:55.what is the main arterial route in West Wales over the course of a
:01:56. > :02:02.whole weekend has very serious implications. The closure is planned
:02:03. > :02:08.from next Friday evening to early on Monday October 17. With traffic
:02:09. > :02:11.diverted. People are being warned to expect delays as work is carried out
:02:12. > :02:16.to find the source of the leak and to stop any further damage.
:02:17. > :02:18.The man who delivered a blueprint for reforming public services
:02:19. > :02:20.in Wales says he's "disappointed" so little has changed
:02:21. > :02:22.since he recommended merging local councils -
:02:23. > :02:27.Ministers have shelved plans for mergers, due to lack of support,
:02:28. > :02:29.and now want councils to work together to deliver services
:02:30. > :02:40.I think I am, personally. I think probably my commission members were
:02:41. > :02:45.disappointed, given the depth of the evidence we took and at the time,
:02:46. > :02:47.virtually everybody we spoke to expressed a view something had to be
:02:48. > :02:52.done. The First Minister has called
:02:53. > :02:54.on the Welsh Secretary to apologise for comments he made about Plaid
:02:55. > :02:56.Cymru. Carwyn Jones says Alun Cairns's
:02:57. > :02:59.attempt, on BBC Question Time, to link Plaid with illegal action
:03:00. > :03:01.against migrants into Welsh-speaking communities,
:03:02. > :03:02.was "unwise and baseless". A spokesman for Mr Cairns has
:03:03. > :03:06.declined to comment. A memorial concert will be held
:03:07. > :03:09.in Cardiff this evening to mark 50 Cantata Memoria, a new choral work
:03:10. > :03:15.by composer Sir Karl Jenkins, will be premiered at
:03:16. > :03:23.the Wales Millenium Centre. It includes a children's choir
:03:24. > :03:25.of 116, which is the number of children who died
:03:26. > :03:29.in the disaster. You can see highlights
:03:30. > :03:32.of the concert on S4C Football now and the Wales Manager
:03:33. > :03:38.Chris Coleman has confirmed that Joe Allen is out of tomorrow's

:03:44. > :04:01.midfielder Aaron Ramsey, It is a shame for us. It is good for
:04:02. > :04:07.Georgia. It is a shame as well without Aaron, of course. But no, we
:04:08. > :04:11.are there, the game is in front of us. We have got other players that
:04:12. > :04:14.can step in and do the job for us, which they will.
:04:15. > :04:17.In the National League Wrexham had their sixth defeat under Gary Mills,
