A leading charity says it is "vital" that older people in Wales are able to sign up for the priority food delivery services with supermarkets.

Age Cymru said many older people had reported waiting for up to three weeks for a delivery while others simply could not register.

"Systems must be put in place to enable the supermarkets to verify who exactly needs to be given priority in Wales," said chief executive Victoria Lloyd.

“We'll be urging the appropriate authorities to work with the retail sector to make sure vulnerable people are not worried about how they will feed themselves over the coming weeks.”

Carmarthenshire council has commissioned contractors to prepare Carmarthen Leisure Centre, the Selwyn Samuel Centre and Parc y Scarlets barn in Llanelli to provide additional bed space for the NHS.

Fishermen on the Llyn Peninsula say they have been devastated by the coronavirus outbreak.

With markets and restaurants closed, and buyers not purchasing their catch, fishermen say they are struggling to pay their bills.

Sion Williams, who fishes for shellfish off Porth Colmon, said it was the latest blow after being unable to fish during storms over recent months.

"There’s no money coming in," he said.

"I have people who owed me money before this started and they can’t pay, but my bills are coming in just the same.

“It doesn’t seem as though there is any hope that things will improve in the coming months."

The head of BBC Wales has said the broadcaster is having to make “hard calls about priorities” following a decision to cancel breakfast TV bulletins on BBC One Wales from Monday.

None of the UK’s nations and regions will provide morning TV bulletins during BBC Breakfast from 30 March.

Viewers were told this morning that it was a “temporary measure” while the BBC adapted to the “demands of covering Covid-19 and its effects on all our lives”.

Responding to criticism of the move on social media, BBC Wales director Rhodri Talfan Davies said: “Staffing levels at the BBC have been affected across the UK, and we have to make hard calls about priorities."

He said audiences were “significantly higher” for BBC Wales Today programmes later in the day.

On Thursday, BBC Wales announced it would broadcast the Welsh government’s daily press conferences live on BBC One Wales from Monday lunchtime.

It has also introduced new programming on Radio Wales and Radio Cymru in response to the pandemic.

Wales rugby international Jamie Roberts is on his way home from South Africa on the "last flight" out before the country went into lockdown.

The 33-year-old had intended to stay in Cape Town, but said on social media it would be best to be home in the UK "during this unprecedented time".

Roberts had played 10 games for the Stormers before the Super Rugby season was put on hold, having joined from Bath in January.

Community groups are appealing for personal protection equipment (PPE) in hospitals, surgeries and for community nurses in Pwllheli, Gwynnedd.

Video calls and drive-through blood tests are helping patients get regular check-ups during the coronavirus pandemic.

Zoe Coleman worked as a lifeguard but has been redeployed as a waste collector.

She called on people to respect those working in the industry - saying they too are putting their health at risk.

The head of South Wales Police says he is confident people are following guidelines over when they can leave their house.

Chief Constable Matt Jukes told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast: "Talking to colleagues about incidents overnight and looking at CCTV footage across Cardiff, it is clear that people are following the rules.

"We will be on the streets of course and we will have the opportunity to enforce the law, but the first place we’ll start is that appeal to stay at home, to save the NHS and to save lives that way."

Mr Jukes said he did not see the need for checkpoints and roadblocks being put in place at the moment, but would continue to turn people away from popular sites.

"We don’t want people gathering on the beach fronts and in the forestry in our area.

"We are getting all sorts of questions about how far we can drive to take exercise and whether surfing at the beach is included in that.

"If you're looking for a way to creep in between these rules, you are missing the point. There is a national emergency under way and people do need to act in ways which are responsible."

For many in the UK who have plans of moving house this Friday, it's probably best to delay, if possible.

Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick went on Twitter to urge people not to move house unless absolutely necessary - and if it is - to do so while maintaining social distancing.

Talking drones have taken to the skies in the fight against coronavirus to tell people: "Please follow the government rules."

The devices are being used across Neath Port Talbot during the coronavirus outbreak.

"You must stay home," they say.

"Only be outside for food, for health reasons, for exercise."

The council has teamed up with South Wales Police to survey hotspots where people are not following social distancing measures.

The chancellor Rishi Sunak said the package was "hopefully a way of alleviating a lot of our worries".

Fifteen Welsh Labour MPs are urging UK ministers to state clearly when measures to deal with the coronavirus crisis apply to England only.

They warn "mixed messages" could mean people lose confidence in their actions and refuse to comply with their advice.

In a letter, the MPs highlight "confusion" over a business rates plan that did not specify Welsh ministers would have their own programme.

The UK government said it was working closely with ministers in Wales.

They describe similar problems with an England-only NHS volunteering scheme.

It says many people have been left feeling "angry, anxious and exasperated" during the pandemic by the handling of some announcements.

Snowdonia National Park is "shut down" regardless of where you live, its chief executive has warned.

Emyr Williams said: "We were very disappointed with the volume of people that came in last weekend so we took immediate action of shutting down our car parks and now with the emergency legislation we've shut down large parts of Snowdon, as have the other national parks in Wales."

He told BBC Radio Wales Breakfast that new emergency powers enabling police to give on the spot fines should "get the message out".

Mr Williams added: "We do encourage people to have their walk everyday but you can only do it from your own home. This applies to everybody."

Jeremy Corbyn says the government's response to coronavirus proves he was "absolutely right" about public spending at the 2019 general election.

The Labour leader told the BBC he had been "denounced as somebody that wanted to spend more money than we could possibly afford" to fix social wrongs.

But he said he had been vindicated by the vast sums the government was spending on the current crisis.

The Tories now realised they had to "invest in the state", he added.

Mr Corbyn said the country had been "ill-prepared" for the coronavirus pandemic because of "10 years of austerity, of underfunding the National Health Service and under-funding our benefit system".

People across Wales stopped and clapped in support of NHS workers.

At 20:00 on Thursday, people across the country stood in their houses and applauded health workers.

Turn your sound on to hear their appreciation.

People who break new rules to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak risk a £60 fine.

First Minister Mark Drakeford has signed into law regulations laying out how the measures will be enforced.

A fixed penalty notice for a first offence falls to £30 if paid within 14 days.

Fines rise to £120 for second and subsequent offences and people ignoring the law risk arrest if they do not comply.

While fines in England could reach as much as £960, that will not happen in Wales.

A woman trying to get a food delivery for her 85-year-old mother says it’s “annoying” a database open to supermarkets to prioritise those who need it most only covers England.

Retired nurse Beverly Harrison-Wood, who lives in Cardigan, has about a week’s worth of food left for herself, her husband and her mother.

She says there is "no chance at all" of getting a delivery from the supermarkets for weeks.

The Welsh Government says it will make sure vulnerable people will get food, medicine and other essential items, and local support will be offered to those who cannot get help from family and friends.
