0:00:01 > 0:00:01That's all from me, stay with us on BBC1 -

0:00:15 > 0:00:16Good evening.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19The First Minister has told BBC Wales he will not support any deal

0:00:19 > 0:00:23on Brexit if it involves trade tariffs on goods produced in Wales.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Carwyn Jones will meet Theresa May in London tomorrow as part of talks

0:00:27 > 0:00:31between the leaders of each part of the United Kingdom.

0:00:31 > 0:00:34The UK government says countries in Europe will be keen

0:00:34 > 0:00:36to trade with Britain, as our political correspondent,

0:00:36 > 0:00:40Arwyn Jones, reports.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43From the biggest companies based here such as Airbus,

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Tata and Ford to the thousands of smaller firms up and down

0:00:46 > 0:00:50the country, Wales exports a large number of goods,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53especially to other EU countries, and the ability to do that freely

0:00:53 > 0:00:58is an important way to remain competitive in a worldwide economy.

0:00:58 > 0:01:03From their very first meeting in July, Carwyn Jones has reiterated

0:01:03 > 0:01:07to Theresa May that his priority is that firms based in Wales can

0:01:07 > 0:01:08continue to have access to the European markets

0:01:08 > 0:01:11with any financial cost.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14He'll meet with her again tomorrow in London, but he took

0:01:14 > 0:01:16to the airwaves today to make his strongest remarks yet

0:01:16 > 0:01:19about how important the issue is to him.

0:01:19 > 0:01:23I would not under any circumstances support any deal that saw

0:01:23 > 0:01:24the reintroduction of tariffs...

0:01:24 > 0:01:27But would you have any choice?

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Do the UK government want to go into negotiations with other

0:01:31 > 0:01:33governments in the UK critical of them, or other governments

0:01:33 > 0:01:38in the UK critical of any deal they might reach?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I don't think that's wise.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Much better for the UK government to look at getting support

0:01:42 > 0:01:43at the beginning.

0:01:43 > 0:01:51That's what negotiation is.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Mr Jones also said he accepted there would need to have limits on how

0:01:54 > 0:01:57many citizens come to live and work in the UK and offered some ideas

0:01:57 > 0:01:59on how a future system might work.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01What we absolutely need is no barriers in place

0:02:01 > 0:02:03for doctors coming here, for nurses coming here,

0:02:03 > 0:02:04for professionals running companies.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07No barriers to them and the same for our citizens going to other

0:02:07 > 0:02:09European countries.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11So a work visa system is what you are looking at, then?

0:02:11 > 0:02:13There are models elsewhere where if you have a job,

0:02:13 > 0:02:15you can come to work.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16That is one possibility.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18The UK Government refuses to give a running commentary on negotiations

0:02:18 > 0:02:21on negotiations with EU countries, but today a leading figure

0:02:21 > 0:02:25of the Brexit campaign told the BBC that other countries are going to be

0:02:25 > 0:02:26keen to trade with the UK.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Nobody in continental Europe benefits from a reduction

0:02:28 > 0:02:31in the ability to trade with the United Kingdom,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34therefore, it is not going to be in their interest

0:02:34 > 0:02:37to see tariffs imposed.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40This is why I have always been convinced we will have tariff free

0:02:40 > 0:02:42trade, we will have sensible trading arrangements, because it is

0:02:42 > 0:02:44in both our interests that that should happen.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Tomorrow, the leaders of each part of the United Kingdom

0:02:46 > 0:02:48will meet in Downing Street.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54referendum being discussed was for Scottish independence.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57The vote on Brexit was a long way away.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Now the different administrations work together may well

0:03:01 > 0:03:06have a dramatic impact on the UK's future relationship with the EU.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Tributes have been paid to a 41-year-old electrician

0:03:51 > 0:03:53'significant challenges' to health services in North Wales -

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Horizon, the company behind the project,
