in both english and welsh. these days, with the law—making senedd in cardiff bay, it is a very different wales and a rather different bbc wales to that of 25 years ago. who could have predicted these scenes and that result? 0.3% nationwide in wales of a victory for the yes campaign, everything turning on carmarthenshire. what a terrifying transition from then to now! as someone once said, nothing has changed. i wish! then to now! as someone once said, nothing has changed. iwish! 0k, we are going to turn now to the weather with matt taylor. a lovely day in wales today, west wales the warmest part of the country, 16 degrees. this sunset was captured in the isle of man, saharan dust adding to the colours, but this
10:31 pm
cloud is a sign of rain on the way. for some, cloud is a sign of rain on the way. forsome, particularly cloud is a sign of rain on the way. for some, particularly across england, not much of that over the last few weeks, barely over one millimetre in some places. in the atlantic, some cloud, rain bearing clouds rushing towards us, got to get this through first, and tonight bringing rain eventually to northern ireland, western fringes of scotland, but away from it a try micronised, clearfor many, more fog, limited to eastern counties of england. a chilly start, another mild day on the way, but for some a much wetter one. northern ireland, a wet start before things turn bright at later. rain spreads through scotland on the morning, and across northern and western england through the afternoon, reaching the midlands and fizzling a little bit. east anglia and the southeast staying dry through the daylight hours. here
10:32 pm
is where the mildest conditions are, but mild in most areas. patchy rain tomorrow evening, east anglia and the southeast, a dry spell, then more widespread rain and drizzle pushing across into thursday morning. england, wales, southern scotland, a damp and grey day, but misty around the hills, the best sunshine across the north of scotland, where you will start with the frost. rain into thursday night, strengthening winds, deepening low pressure firing its way eastwards, bringing a little bit of rain, but the big story for friday will be the strength of the wind, topping 80 mph for some. strength of the wind, topping 80 mph forsome. back strength of the wind, topping 80 mph for some. back to cardiff with huw. thanks, matt. and that's bbc news at ten from me and all the team here in cardiff. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are.
10:33 pm
good night. good evening i'm tulsen tollet and this is your sports news where we start with football and tottenham were beaten 1—0 in the first leg of their champions league round of 16 tie against ac milan tonight. brahim diaz scored the only goal of the game at the san siro, as the spaniard reacted quickest following an excellent save from fraser forster in the tottenham goal. spurs�* best chance came when son heung min was put through one—on—one with the goalkeeper, only to have his shot saved and then see harry kane hit the bar, before the linesman raised his flag for offside. the second leg will take place at the tottenham hotspur stadium on the 8th of march. in the night's other game, bayern munich were 1—0 winners at paris saint germain. kingsley coman�*s second half strike proving to be the difference on the night. bayern had benjamin pavard sent off in injury time. in the premier league it's first
10:34 pm
versus second tomorrow night as arsenal host champions manchester city — and the game has been billed as the biggest of the season so far. the game has been dogged by controversy in the build up with the gunners on the wrong end of a controversial decision against brentford on saturday, but mikel arteta, who was the city assistant manager previously, knows the challenge they face. what they have done in the last six years, they absolutely merited. they merited on the pitch and the way they play, the way they have competed, the way they have gone through difficulties. and for us, the challenge is to get to that level. in we need to use that challenge and that energy. this is where we want to be. manchester city manager pep guardiola has refused to rule erling haaland out of the clash. the league's top scorer remains a doubt for the trip to the emirates after being substituted at half—time following a knock in the victory over aston villa on sunday.
10:35 pm
trading, right now i don't know. yesterday was a recovery from the game. that's all. yeah, we have to try to read the game are going to play, were going to be a big battle. in the departments and you have to be ready. in the championship, promotion chasing burnley were denied a club record eleventh consecutive win after being held to a 1—1 draw at home to watford. the away side took the lead throuthoao pedro after a mix up in the burnley defence. it looked like vincent kompany�*s men were heading for their first home defeat of the season before michael 0bafemi struck a 95th minute equaliser. burnley stay top and are now 18 points clear of third placed middlesbrough. coventry city put a dent in millwall�*s play—off hopes and boosted their own with a 1—0 victory. victor yokarash scored the only goal of the game in the second half. stuart broad has been recalled
10:36 pm
to the england side for the first test against new zealand which starts on thursday in mount maunganui. the fast bowler missed the 3—nil test series win against pakistan in december because he was on paternity leave. it means broad and james anderson will get the chance to eclipse australian greats shane warne and glenn mcgrath as the most prolific bowling partnership in test history this week. ollie robinsonjoins the pair in the pace attack for the day—night opening match of the two—test series. defending champions australia have beaten bangladesh by eight wickets in their women's t20 world cup group game in south africa. captain nigar sultana joty top scored with 57 for bangladesh as they finished their 20 overs on 107 for seven, ash gardener hit the winning runs as the favourites cruised to victory. australia have won their first two matches, but bangladesh have lost both theirs. it was an eventful afternoon for ronnie 0'sullivan at the welsh 0pen snooker in llandudno. the tip of his cue came off twicein his match
10:37 pm
against scotland's ross muir. he was then penalised for not hitting a red at the third time of asking, being forced to concede the frame as a result. 0'sullivan came through the decider though to book his place in the third round with the 11—3 win. i said to the guy afterwords, if it comes off once more i have tojust pull out because i can't keep changing my tip every five or six shots. it's not fair on the opponent or the crowd. so, it stayed on and we have to wait and see. it never happened to me before. meanwhile, there was a big shock earlier as the two time champion neil robertson crashed out. the australian failed to get on the board as he lost by four frames to nil to welshman dominic dale. anotherformer winner — china's ding junhui has also been knocked out. that's all the sport for now.

this is bbc news.
10:42 pm
we'll have the headlines and all the main news stories straight after this programme. lara: when 3d printers first went mainstream, many imagined a world where some households would be creating missing pieces of board games or spare parts to fix their cars. the reality has actually probably been more impressive because we're getting 3d—printed houses and even 3d—printed body parts. and some of the latest trials involve printing bones for people who've had cancer. researchers at king's college london and clinicians at guy's and st thomas�* nhs foundation trust
10:43 pm
are collaborating on a project to help cancer patients like colin. i'd quite a few appointments, first of all. i had several tests and a biopsy, which then diagnosed me with cancer. you've got to look at what the alternative is if you don't have it done, isn't it, really? i mean, everybody says that word, �*cancer,’ so you imagine it can spread here, there and everywhere. in a number of cases of lung, bone or metastatic breast cancer, removing the area around the tumour means the need to take away some of the chest wall. but here, 3d printing is being used to help create something that can replace what's been removed. the way we reconstruct the chest wall is important to preserve the stability of the chest wall and to preserve the way and the breathing mechanic. before 3d printing, there were several different methods. the first one was to use the methyl methacrylate. it's been used by orthopaedics and
10:44 pm
thoracic surgeons for many years. this cement was modelled at the time of surgery on the patient, just to create a fixed area, like, to replace the ribs or the sternum removed at the time of surgery. then the 3d—printed started and we started to use the titanium. but prosthetics made from titanium are expensive, so this team has developed a novel way, using 3d printing. this is the 3d—printed model of the prosthesis. i place that into a box and then mix these two parts together. i pour them over this plastic printed part. then once that silicone — like, the liquid silicon cures after about four to six hours, then i remove the printed part and that leaves a cavity in the exact same shape of the patient's anatomy, and that is then sterilised and taken into theatre. in thoracic surgery, when you are removing this area, rather than having three ribs,
10:45 pm
you are creating, like, a big square of cement. very good to protect your lung... yeah. ..but there was not a good functional result. so, moving from using the same material, you get the same kind of resistance because, you know, you can break it. but also, you have the flexibility, so when you are breathing, they can move. to me, it was new, putting something foreign in your body. _ but when he explained it to me, it sounded more or less - the right way to go. so, from then on, i had a ct scan, which obviously gave _ all the measurements for them. to make the part, which they did eventually make and it was implanted in me and i've not been _ looking back since. the technology is helping us a lot to provide better surgery with better results for the patients, not only in terms of cancer resection, but also in terms of quality of life and cosmetic results, which, for me, are equally important for my patients. but there's a cost saving as well
10:46 pm
of nearly £1,000 per procedure, and the whole process is about to get even smarter. by next year, the aim is to directly 3d—print the ribs or sternum. so, instead of a whole process that requires a mould and everything along the way, it'lljust be made straight away in a material like this polymer, which is called peek, which can be sterilised and then used inside someone�*s body. i did ask at the time how long this material they use would last, and i was told it would last at least 200 years, which would seen me out here. but then, i never thought of asking at the time how strong that is compared to bone. but apparently, it's as good as bone, so... time will tell!
10:47 pm
shiona: being here really reminds me of when i was younger and coming for riding lessons, but i've not been on a horse in a very long time. so i'm interested to see how technology is helping people who are learning to ride a horse today. time to get back on the saddle, i guess. the team here at scotland's rural college have really embraced new tech, and by doing so, it's hoped it can benefit the riders as well as the horses. meet penny who will help me demonstrate. ok, let's go. first up, there are smart reins — they tell me how much pressure i'm putting on penny as she walks. so what we're using here on this horse is a rein pressure sensor. there is a little box that sits
10:48 pm
on the top of the horse's head and it has two lights that will indicate your left rein and right rein. so if you take any pressure on either rein or both reins, the colour will change. purple indicates low pressure and blue and red show medium and high pressure. they maybe have a problem where they have maybe one rein a little bit too higher than the other or one a bit shorter than the other, it can really help them to make those adjustments themselves rather than an instructor sort of having to tell them all the time. i have also tried on the biomechanic jacket, which helps me get my posture right, and makes it more comfortable for penny too. initially, we look for a straight line from the shoulder through the hip down to the rider's heel when they're on the horse. we also look for a nice straight line from a relaxed shoulder and then a line from the rider's elbow through the hand, and right down through the rein to the horse's bit.
10:49 pm
anything different than that, you can restrict the way the horse is going and it can make it quite uncomfortable for the horse and sort of stops them from travelling forward. and so, how are you monitoring that using these fluorescent lines? so what we do is we use a robot camera. it tracks the rider no matter where they go in the arena, and then they can review their riding position afterwards, discuss it with their instructor and then they can see maybe what is really good and what needs improving. and finally, we have the pressure mat. this mat sits underneath the horse's saddle. we can use it to help learn about saddle fitting initially, but also, it is great for detecting any abnormalities in position, and that pressure mat will pick that up and then it transmits data to an ipad. these four bits of tech being used together mean students here are getting the most modern way of learning in an industry which has been steeped in tradition. and it looks like the college has their eyes on more tech for the future too. got a question for you.
10:50 pm
would you like to eat and drink on a moving ride? no — why would anybody do that? good question. well, there's a new ride that's opened at one of europe's largest theme parks, and who do we call on when there's a ride involved? ah, lj rich. exactly — so get ready for eatrenalin. how do you stop this thing? lj: when i was asked to try out a new theme park dining experience called eatrenalin, i wondered what could possibly be in store. well, i wasn't expecting this. turns out it's less a physical thrill ride and more an emotional and culinary experience. the food is augmented by visuals, lighting and music. meals with feels. i've kind of forgotten that i'm moving, but...
10:51 pm
..i've still got this sense of...tranquillity. the story behind eatrenalin follows an ai who just wants to become human, while diners are leisurely transported through themed spaces. earlier in the day, i met co—founder thomas mack for a behind—the—scenes tour of the ride — or is that experience? so, welcome. here are our floating chairs. it's like they are breathing, they are being charged up. is it rollers or is it a cushion of air? so, the first idea was a cushion of air, but then it was too loud, so that was prototype number one. now it is all electrically driven. you have three different wheels, but also, the wheels we developed, the floating chair can move. the chairs use infrared sensors
10:52 pm
so they don't bump into anything, and run to a preprogrammed journey through the rooms. here, with this sort of movable chair, you're in complete control of your guests' journey. diners change formations throughout the two—hour experience, so each new course brings a new companion, which may or may not add to the enjoyment. the main event, though, is the food, which is typical of a high—end restaurant. i love going in the kitchens, because this is where all the real work's getting done. and this is amazing. you don't normally get this number of screens in a restaurant kitchen, but in fact it's telling people everything they need to know about the diners' food tolerances and even exactly where they are sitting whilst they are having the experience. do you come here often? it's my first time.
10:53 pm
at nearly 200 euros per person, eatrenalin is definitely priced as a high—end restaurant rather than a ride. europa—park aims to sell the concept to other parks and cities around the world, and it's hoping the experience will be attractive to those outside the amusement park industry. it's a bold ambition, and for a company used to exporting roller—coaster hardware, it is a very big move into uncharted territory. still not convinced — i think that would give me indigestion. nah, i thought it looked great. i'll take someone else then. fine. that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye— bye.
10:54 pm
hello. well, tuesday was officially the warmest day of the year so far. temperatures reached around 16—17 celsius in mid—wales. it wasn't quite so mild everywhere else. and then the rest of the week — a change on the way. more cloud but it will remain on the mild side. now, here's the outlook for wednesday. the weather map. and you can see a weather front crossing the country and that's because high pressure is slipping away to the east and it's giving way to these weather systems off the atlantic. so through wednesday, the weather front sweeps across the uk, only very slowly, but because the high pressure is still close by, this weather front is basically going to be dried out by the high pressure here, so very little rain reaching the midlands and the southeast. you can see through the course of the evening, as that weather front reaches london,
10:55 pm
kent and sussex, there's hardly any rainfall at all, but it won't be long before the next area of cloud and rain sweeps in. it won't be too heavy, though. now, with all of this cloud and the outbreaks of rain, it won't be cold at all. in fact, early on thursday morning, generally speaking, it's well above freezing across most of the uk, bar the north of scotland. so here's thursday's weather map and you can see another weather system moving across the country. within it, there's actually mild air, this is subtropical air to the south of us, colder north atlantic air to the north, so this is what it looks like then on thursday. here's the weather front — cloudy, occasional outbreaks of rain, sometimes a bit of drizzle here and there. the north of scotland is in the colder air so, here, temperatures will be into single figures. but further south, midlands southwards, it'll be round about 13—14 celsius. and then friday. batten down the hatches, particularly northern parts of the uk. there's a risk of gales and they could be gusting 60—70mph on exposed coasts. so here's that low pressure, then, early in the morning but swiftly, come the afternoon, it should move out into the north sea and then another low pressure comes in behind it. so this is the early morning —
10:56 pm
really very strong winds, particularly across scotland, but a risk of gales further south too. certainly east of the pennines, it could be very gusty. i don't think it's going to be a gale force in the south, but certainly breezy enough. with that, it's still relatively mild. this is again subtropical air. temperatures around 1a in the south, but a little bit colder in the north. the next low pressure arrives on saturday, so you get the picture. it is going to be quite a changeable weekend, with low pressure systems moving off the atlantic, but in the south, we keep that mild source of air from the southern climes, so it's never going to get cold. but in the north of scotland, particularly across the hills and the mountains, it could be cold enough for a little bit of sleet and snow. you can see a change in the wind direction there, it's coming in more from the north, so those temperatures will dip little bit, particularly in the northern isles, around six celsius. in the south, still around 13—111, so above the average for the time of year, which is closer to around 8—9 across central parts of the uk. now, sunday, it does look as though
10:57 pm
things will settle down, high pressure will build and temperatures will hover around about 10—12 celsius, so maybe a shade cooler. ok, let's have a look at the outlook further ahead, and high pressure still dominating the weather across the south of the country, briefly we'll see incursions of weather systems in the north of scotland, but on the whole, i think into next week it does look as though high pressure will start to build once again across the uk. you can actually see that in the outlook — that unsettled spell end of the week into the weekend, and then again drier by the time we get to tuesday. bye— bye.
