Good evening. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
The Former Labour Welsh Secretary Lord Murphy says it is not the role | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
of the House of Lords to thwart or block Brexit, but it | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
will play an important role in scrutinising its terms. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
He was speaking ahead of a two-day debate by peers about the bill | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
giving the Prime Minister the power to begin the process | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
of leaving the EU. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
Meanwhile, one of his cross-party counterparts in the Lords says | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
they should not delay or alter the bill. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Nick Palit reports. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:39 | |
MPs have already voted by a majority of 4:1 to give | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Prime Minster Theresa May the power to invoke Article 50 | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
and begin the process of Britain leaving the EU. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
Now, peers in the House of Lords will debate the bill for two | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
days, starting tomorrow. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
The Upper House normally gives an unopposed second reading | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
to government legislation. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
So it would be a breach of tradition if they opposed it. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
Lord Lisvane, who is from Cardiff, and who, with Sir Robert Rogers, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
served as clerk to the House of Commons says peers may succeed | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
in tweaking the terms of the bill. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
I think it is possible that the Lord Mayor asks the Commons | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
to think again on the position of EU nationals resident in the UK. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
I don't think that there is any chance that the Lords | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
will delay the bill. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
If the elected house has decided not to do so, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
then the unelected house, I think, could not, would not | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
and should not do so. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
Former Welsh and Northern Ireland Secretary, Lord Murphy of Torfaen, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
agrees that it's not the role of the Lords to block Brexit, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
but he'll be tabling an amendment on the issue of a hard customers' | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
border with Ireland, and feels peers have an important role to play. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
Parliament does have a very important role in scrutinising | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
the terms of our exit and, in our case, of course, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
to make sure that we get the best possible deal for the Welsh people. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Because we rely so heavily, for example, on our exports to Europe. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
We rely heavily on European money for agriculture and for all sorts | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
of schemes up and down Wales. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
So we have to try and safeguard those and to ensure that we get | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
the best deal possible. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
So there is a role, but it's not one to block or to thwart Brexit. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Nearly 200 peers have put their name down to speak. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Any amendments would then go back to the Commons. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
But political analysts say, barring anything unprecedented, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
the bill to leave the EU should become law. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:28 | |
A police car chase which led to a BMW crashing and closing | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
a major road in north Wales has been referred to the watchdog, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
the Independent Police Complaints Commission. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
The crash closed the A55 between St Asaph and St George yesterday. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
The driver of the car is said to be in a stable condition in hospital. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
North Wales Police are appealing for anyone who saw the BMW | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
convertible travelling from Bodelwyddan to get in touch. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:55 | |
The Labour party says it has suspended a campaigner who fought | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
against the decision to change a Carmarthenshire primary school | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
to Welsh-medium education. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
However, tonight, Michaela Beddows has told BBC Wales she is not | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
a member of the Labour party, who have said they've launched | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
an investigation into her conduct. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
Carmarthenshire council voted in January to drop the English stream | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
at Ysgol Llangennch near Llanelli. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
A man's body has been found on a Pembrokeshire beach. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
Police were called to Manorbier beach in Tenby yesterday | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
morning at around 7:30am. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
Officers say the man has been identified and his | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
family has been informed. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
His death is being treated as unexplained. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
All lost pets found by councils should be checked for microchips | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
so they can be returned to their owners. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
That's according to a petition which will be considered | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
by the National Assembly. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Currently, it is compulsory to get a dog microchipped, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
but it isn't mandatory to scan them. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Six councils across Wales say they don't routinely | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
scan found animals. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
The petition, signed by 160 people, says the microchip system can | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
only be fully effective if all animals are checked. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:03 | |
Football: And Gareth Bale said he absolutely loved being back | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
playing after nearly three months out with an ankle injury. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Within minutes of his return as a substitute for Real Madrid, | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
he scored in their win against Espanyol. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
His return gives Wales a huge boost ahead of a vital World Cup qualifier | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
in Ireland towards the end of March. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:23 | |
Snooker: And Stuart Bingham is ahead in the final of the Wales Open | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
after the first session. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:27 | |
The former World Champion leads Judd Trump by five frames to three, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
with the first to nine taking home the ?70,000 prize. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
The match resumes from 7:00pm this evening with live coverage | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
over on BBC Two Wales. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
The first Welshman to fight in the mixed martial arts | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
Ultimate Fighting Championship says his bout tonight in Canada | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
will be the biggest of his career. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:47 | |
Jack Marshman will take on Brazil's Thiago Santos | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
at UFC Halifax later. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
It's his 27th professional fight, but only his second in | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
the Championship after his winning debut in Belfast last November. | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
This is a momentum fight. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:01 | |
I beat this guy and I've just beat a guy who's ranked 15th in the world | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
a couple months ago. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
So it's really going to step me forward, I think. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
And it's exciting. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
Because I feel I've got the measure of it. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
I can't see how I'm going to lose. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I'd like to be at the very top end of the top 15 | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
by the end of this year. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
And then you start reaching for the top 10 the year after. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Because, like I said, I'm still only young. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
Time for a quick look at the weather: | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Tonight, cloudy and damp conditions | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
will continue with further outbreaks of rain. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:34 | |
Very murky with widespread mist and fog, but remaining mild. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Lows of around nine Celsius. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
Tomorrow remains murky with more rain, but drier in the east. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Strong winds will pick up, especially over higher ground. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Staying mild, highs of around 14 Celsius. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:50 | |
I'll be back with your late update at around 10:30pm this evening. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
Thanks for watching. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
Enjoy your evening. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
Bye for now. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 |
