Another Conservative politician has criticised the decision to allow | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
former Ukip AM Mark Reckless into their group in the Assembly. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
Monmouth AM Nick Ramsay says he's not sure now whether he is a member | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
of a Conservative or a "hybrid independent group". | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
More from our political editor Nick Servini. | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
The Welsh Conservative MPs, Craig Williams, Byron Davies | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
and Simon Hart have already been openly critical of the decision | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
to bring Mark Reckless into the Tory fold at the Assembly. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Now, for the first time, one of the Conservative Assembly | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Members, Nick Ramsay, has entered the fray. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
At the heart of this is the fact that Mark Reckless, pictured | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
here with the Welsh Conservative leader, Andrew RT Davies | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
on Thursday, has become a Welsh Conservative AM when he's | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
There is still too much bad feeling within Tory ranks for that to happen | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
because of his high-profile defection from being a Conservative | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
MP to Ukip, two and a half years ago. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
This has led Nick Ramsay to question the status of the group if it's not | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
entirely made up of card-carrying Tory members. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
I was elected as a Welsh Conservative and I sit | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Now, today, I am faced with a situation that I'm not | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
I believe I'm still a Welsh Conservative but I want to be told | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
you are able to go into that next Assembly election as a Conservative | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
and campaign on a policy agenda set by that | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
It's quite clear that we now have a group that will not | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
The Conservative rule book says you cannot become an AM | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
Some say those rules would have had to be suspended | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Not so says Andrew RT Davies who insists the decision | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
There's been nothing from Mr Davies today. | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
His supporters, though, have questioned why Nick Ramsay | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
failed to voice his concerns when he had the chance to do so. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
This story has involved a mix of delving into the party rule book | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
and old-fashioned Tory tribal antagonism towards Mark Reckless. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Now senior Conservatives in London do not want | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
a high-profile split in the party between Westminster and Cardiff. | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
But there is a feeling behind-the-scenes that | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Andrew RT Davies has entirely misjudged the mood of the party | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Nick Servini, BBC Wales Today, at the Senedd. | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
After an increase in the number of lifeboat rescue | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
call-outs last year, the RNLI is urging people to keep | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
safe if they're visiting the coast over the Easter holidays. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
RNLI lifeguards have been on duty at Three Cliffs Bay | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
on Gower since last year, after two people died within two | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Three Cliffs is quite a dangerous beach. | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
The main reasons is the geographics of it, we have got a tidal river | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Because there's been no lifeguard service until last year, | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
a lot of members of the public weren't very educated | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
on where the safest area was to swim. | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
And we've really made a good impact on that. | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Police investigating a serious road traffic collision | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
between a motorbike and a white van on the B4358 between Newbridge | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
on Wye and Beulah this afternoon, are searching for the driver | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The injured motorcyclist was taken to hospital by Air Ambulance | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
and is said to have possible life changing injuries. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
He's in a serious but stable condition. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Rugby - and Ospreys fly-half, Dan Biggar, is having concussion | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
tests after initially passing a pitch-side examination | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
during their Pro 12 defeat to Leinster yesterday. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
In a post match interview Biggar said he couldn't really remember | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
much of the last 10 minutes of the game. | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
The Ospreys say the Wales international must pass | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
return-to-play protocols before playing again. | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
And the Cardiff Devils have narrowly missed out on achieving | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
the ice-hockey grand slam this evening. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
They lost 6-5 to the Sheffield Steelers during overtime | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
in the final of the Elite Ice-hockey league play-off. | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
They were hoping for the treble having previously won both | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
the Elite League and the Challenge Cup. | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Time now for a quick look at the weather forecast. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
A band of cloud and rain will clear overnight with some frost in places | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Tomorrow it'll feel colder than today with patchy | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
More in the way of sunshine in the afternoon. | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
There'll be more news in our breakfast bulletins. | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
Good evening. Was it spring or summer today? They crushed and some | :04:52. | :05:15. | |
of you may have been asking. A beautiful day across much of eastern | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
and south-eastern England. We saw highs of 25 | :05:21. | :05:21. |
