sian lloyd is in cardiff.22 welsh local authorities still very much coming in. counting is continuing. cardiff had been seen as a key battle ground, labour delighted to retain it. but their performance across wales has been patchy. the start of a new day in cardiff, and the city was waking up to the news that the city's biggest local authority was still under labour control. attempts by the conservatives, plaid cymru and the liberal democrats to topple labour's hold here, put on ice. for now. i'm really glad that our existing party have got back into cardiff, because i think they are doing a good job. labour have done us no good at all, i don't think. the conservatives should have got in, but there we are, that's how it goes. so we've got to put up with them. labour held onto the big cities of cardiff, swansea and newport, but lost out in some valleys strongholds. worrying times for them in merthyr tydfil. the leader of the council, brendan toomey, went on to lose seat. labour losses here were the independents

you took 11 seats in cardiff.t some of your lib dem colleagues told me that parts of cardiff were looking quite promising? what we found on the doorstep was that once the general election had been announced, the conversation we we re been announced, the conversation we were having with people totally changed. they stopped talking about how the council here in cardiff was run, they were not talking about bins and potholes and so on, they we re bins and potholes and so on, they were talking instead about theresa may, whether they were in favour of heror not, may, whether they were in favour of her or not, they were talking about theresa may and the whole country. and therefore what happened was that the party politics has hardened. there is of course a surge in the conservative vote but the labour vote also hardened here as people who are very certainly not conservatives went to them or tribal allegiance to the labour party. it became difficult as a local election campaign to cut through on that, but i think when we

but to get to that championship final in cardiff, juventus had to finish monaco.lo higuain couldn't score but mario mandzukic made his chance count. magnificent celebrations, juve on the brink before cementing their place in the finaljust before half—time. the ball waiting to be hit, just... like... that. dani alves with the kind of goal only a brazilian can score. a real souvenir it was, too. talking of souvenirs, the match ball will do. monaco found another as monaco scored against juve. aside from that, a nasty knock to gonzalo higuain, this was the perfect night. it is 21 years since juve last won the european cup. the biggest game in european club football will give them another chance. greenock morton and dundee united are meeting tonight trying to keep alive their hopes of gaining promotion to the scottish premiership. simon marion borras buttle scored the goals. the winner will take on falkirk for the right to meet the team finishing second from bottom in the premiership for a place in the top flight. manchester city have gone up to second in the wsl sprin

they are beginning to look as though they have held onto cardiff, which would bea have held onto cardiffy have lost a majority in places, and in merthyr tydfil they lost the council leader. one of the reasons is because of the jeremy council leader. one of the reasons is because of thejeremy corbyn effect. there are have been words used, a time for change, dissatisfaction with leadership and with the corbyn effect, dare i say it, impacting this area, but i am concerned about local people, the national dynamic is important, but not evidential to people on the ground. we are here to be community activists who do things for our people. the conservatives have taken monmouthshire by the other parties haven't done well. plaid cymru were expected to make gains, but they don't believe they have done so. the lib dems have made further losses and ukip have done nothing at all. the major one will be the call in cardiff with the call that labour would lose the majority and their hold over carter. at the moment it looks like they have held onto the capital. thank you. and just a reminder: huw edwards

welcome to a sunny cardiff this evening.er of the year for 2017 are trailing behind us. that's out on the pitch. their last training session ahead of the final tomorrow night. just over 24 hours left of that ago. they had their interesting press conference. there was pressure. they got annoyed with the press conference as they had no explanation from uefa explaining why they were left in the hotel for 40 minutes. a lot of knock—on delays, they said that interestingly it would not happen in the men's event. he was impatient and eager to get onto the pitch. he is happier that he is training now with his lyon side, they are a formidable force in european women's bubble. this is their sixth final appearance, and they won the trophy three times. they could go for a record fourth if they wanted to beat paris saintjermaine behind us. —— psg. it's an all french affair. expected to have 20,000 people coming to see this spectacle in cardiff on thursday. a global showcase event for women's couple. sta rs showcase event for women's coup

cardiff university. a fine choice, ifi cardiff university. a fine choice, if i may say.hin the next ten years? we are up against the clock my dear friends, so on against the clock my dear friends, so on this i really do want you to be concise. i'm going to start with, i think it's neil's turn this time. i want to reverse the trend of my lifetime where wales has gone backwards relatively within the uk. we're now at the bottom of the table of the nations and regions of the uk in terms of income and gross value added. that's a relic of failure by labour governments and conservative governments as well. what we need is to create an enterprise economy in the new wide world that we're going to rejoin as a result of leaving the eu and so, raise the income levels of wales by inacrossing a business friendly environment here which is going to generate the wealth that we all need to redistribute. what i don't want is a wales of tory cuts, a wales where young people are ignored and squeezed, where older people are cast onto the scrap heap, where entrepreneurship is not rewarded, pub

we can cross to cardiff now to get more from our correspondent tomos morgan.s, an embarrassing start to the debate here today. there has been an internal row between members of the conservative party, andrew rt davies is expected to do all three debates, he did the itv debate, the leaders debate with the bbc, alun cairns the welsh secretary took over, that. today, neither of them were of the doing it. it is said that alan cans, thought that andrew rt davies was doing it, and he said that alan cans was unwilling to do it. so, the shadow education minister in wales is stepping in, the only non—leader thatis is stepping in, the only non—leader that is taking part here. today, the leader of the welsh conservatives, ukip‘s leaders in wales, neil hamilton as is mark williams from the welsh liberal democrats. differently to some other debates, that so many key policy issues are devolved in wales, health, education, said the subject areas will include security, immigration, economic and poverty, as well as brexit, the big issue. i'm sure all the parties will be coming

in wales, labour lost more than 100 seats, but held cardiff, and held back some of the worst.ories and plaid nibbling away some of their support. defending wales is what plaid cymru is all about. labourare in no position to do that. they've had a majority of mps in wales for decades, and they've failed to put wales on the map. but it was ukip that had the worst crash from their heights. their scorecard nearly zero. brexit seeming to challenge their very reason for being. we've won the war, but we haven't yet won the peace. and i would say this: that we need ukip to be there, we need ukip to be strong. ukip is the insurance policy in case brexit doesn't get delivered. and yes, this is sometimes how seats are decided. a vote so close candidates draw straws. here, a lib dem had a lucky choice. in what, overall, that party described as a patchy performance. political speak for "not that much to be proud of, nor disaster instead". the liberal democrats are now your best route to prevent our country and our communities being taken for granted by a conservative landslide. not much si

interludes but cool, a lot of cloud in the midlands and wales, but generally a dry day, 50 degrees in cardiffr. that's when will not last too long quiet and will eventually eased towards the south through the evening. we are dry everywhere pretty much, but through the early hours we might seen rain creeping its way into the north of scotland. by its way into the north of scotland. by dawn on sunday, most town cities will be around 8 degrees, and will hang on to double figures in the far south—west. 0n the second part of the weekend, high pressure but a breeze down the eastern coast, further west the winds will be lighter. the breeze will bring low cloud, and light rain, a few pockets of drizzle. away from there, myspace will be fine and dry. a variable amount of cloud, and 15 or 16 degrees. a few degrees higher in northern ireland but ten or 11 or 12 degrees on the north—east coast. at the start of the new week, the isobars got a squeeze, with a breeze blowing down the north and north east on monday. it brings low cloud and pockets of light rain and drizzle. away from the east coast, it is dr

ben is at a dairy farm near cardiff. we‘re feeling worse off. in real terms, it isa feeling worse off. in real terms, it is a pay cut. the bank of england warned us we should expect prices to carry on rising. they could reach 2.8% by the end of the year and that‘s the worry because we‘ll start feeling the squeeze and it might mean we‘ll change our habit, maybe we‘ll go out less and spend less at the supermarket and less on nights out. we have been talking about what it means for producers. they have seen it means for producers. they have seen prices go up. the feed for the cattle has gone up and the price of red diesel and they might have to pass on extra costs to consumers and that means that prices rise at the supermarket. inflation will be a big issue at the election. it will be something that affects the way we live and how much money we‘ve got in our pocket and when we get that figure this morning at 9.30am, it will be worth to see if it continued to rise. the current figure is 2.3%. the cows have aid rived. they ha

leanne wood nowjoins us outside cardiff bay. you mean? well, the polls indicate that in england that there will be a landslide for the conservatives. the question here in wales is what happens to wales. the scots have a strong voice in the snp to advocate for the scottish national interest. theresa may is the official leader of the england party now, so we need applied plaid cymru to speak for wales. many people don't want a party that is split and with candidates who are ready to stab their leader in the back. if wales is to be defended and developed after this election, it's down to a strong block of plaid cymru mps to do that. your manifesto seems to be based on fear of a tory landslide. it's based on evidence. if you look at the great repeal bill, clause 11.2 clearly states that there are powers currently held in brussels of a devolved competence regarding agriculture, and other elements, so the powers could go back to westminster and not come to cardiff. we have put forward the case for a stronger national assembly here, on

we are waiting to see what happens in cardiff, which is still counting at the moment.een some relatively bad news for labour in wales already. we don't have anything at the moment about scotland, where there is a very different story, which isjust scotland, where there is a very different story, which is just how well are the snp doing? will they retain the 56 or 59 westminster seats they had last time? we will be looking for clues about that, it's a different political scenario to what we have tonight with the results in england and wales. thank you very much. time now for the travel show. this week, celebrating gha na's 60th birthday. i'm drinking to the country's independence. sparring with the locals. boxing is massive, they love it here. and meeting some of its cutest residents. i am amazed how much banana a little monkey like that can eat. busy, bustly, noisy and lots of fun. i could be in any of the big, lively west african capitals, but i've come to one country that is celebrating a very special anniversary. news reel: the name gold coast passes, long live ghan
