Weather expert Derek Brockway described the winds in part of Wales as storm force 10

Ferocious winds are battering parts of Wales due to Storm Dave. Areas in the north west of the nation are experiencing the strongest gales.

The Met Office reported wind speeds of 93mph in Capel Curig, Conwy, and 81mph in Aberdaron, Gwynedd at 8pm on Saturday. Capel Curig was listed as having the strongest winds recorded in the UK during Storm Dave.

Shortly afterwards BBC Wales weather presenter Derek Brockway posted on social media: “Cold front has passed through. Gales will slowly ease overnight.”

Brockway described the wind speed at Aberdaron as storm force 10 but said he expected milder weather on Sunday, writing on X: “Bright and breezy tomorrow. Colder with sunny spells and scattered showers. Winds easing. Dry Monday and Tuesday with sunny spells and turning warmer.”

It comes after amber and yellow weather warnings were issued for parts of north Wales, the north of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Met Office forecast for Wales states: “Storm Dave will bring strong winds and coastal gales this evening, particularly around exposed coasts of north and north-west Wales. Heavy and blustery spells of rain to start then the storm will clear in the early hours as winds ease. Minimum temperature 3C.

“Sunny spells and scattered showers on Easter Day with lighter winds. Mostly dry by the afternoon but feeling colder than previous days with a fresh breeze. Maximum temperature 11C.”

Anthony Joshua was ringside for Derek Chisora’s showdown with Deontay Wilder

Eddie Hearn hasn’t ruled out the possibility of Anthony Joshua fighting Deontay Wilder but dropped a major hint regarding a superfight with Tyson Fury.

The Matchroom supremo revealed that they are focused on finalising a showdown with The Gypsy King. The former world heavyweight champion made his first public appearance as he attended the O2 Arena for Derek Chisora’s final bow against American Deontay Wilder.

Fury and Joshua have been long-standing rivals after competing at the pinnacle of heavyweight boxing for a number of years. However, so far in their careers, they have failed to reach an agreement to stage the all-British showdown but recently, it has appeared that the bout is closer than ever.

Hearn said: “To be honest, we’ve been very focused about making the Tyson Fury fight. AJ did mention to me that, he’s supporting Derek he thinks he’ll win, but if Deontay Wilder wins in style tonight, it opens a big fight with Anthony Joshua.

“We are here as friends and fans but got one eye on the game.”

Joshua made his return to the ring in December after over 12 months away, following his defeat to Daniel Dubois, as he beat Jake Paul in Miami, Florida.

However, his return remains to be seen after the 36-year-old was involved in a car crash in Nigeria which killed two of his friends. Joshua escaped the incident and was treated in hospital with minor injuries, personal trainer, Latif Ayodele, and strength coach, Sina Ghami, died after their vehicle collided with a stationary lorry near Lagos.

Fury, meanwhile, is edging closer to his return to the spotlight after ending his fifth retirement from boxing when he faces Arslanbek Makhmudov.

The 37-year-old takes on the Russian next weekend in his first comeback fight since the defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in December 2024.

The Gypsy King headlines at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 11. When announcing his return, he said: “I came back for one reason only: To make boxing great again. Since I stopped boxing a year ago, boxing for me has gone on a downward slope. It’s become quite boring.

“Boxing is at his maximum potential when Tyson Fury’s actively fighting. I didn’t say that, AI, Chat GPT [did]. So believe it.

“With me, I brought the biggest streaming platform on earth, Netflix. First fight back, fighting at a 60,000-seat stadium. I bring a circus, entertainment, action, cameras, everything to the sport. I was enjoying being retired.

“Made ‘At Home with the Furys’ Season 2, made a documentary, travelled the world with my family, a few private jets, yachts … I was enjoying myself.

“But it comes to a point where you just want to go back to work. My work will always be the fight game, no matter how old I am.”

In the space of 180 minutes, Arsenal’s dream of a quadruple has been obliterated so thoroughly that it has been reduced to a double. Two matches have cost them a shot at two trophies, and this FA Cup loss by Southampton was every bit as dismal as their Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City two weeks ago.

The international break was supposed to soothe Arsenal’s pain after that Wembley defeat but now they will feel even worse, having been deservedly beaten by Championship opposition. Mikel Arteta’s side had plenty of the ball but they rarely showed the same clarity of thought, and indeed the same composure in the penalty box as their supposedly lesser opponents.

There can be no hiding from the reality for Arsenal: this dip in form must be addressed immediately, or there will be nothing to celebrate this season. The Champions League awaits in midweek and there are still no guarantees in the Premier League, despite their lead over City. If they continue to play like this, they will undoubtedly be caught in the league.

How Southampton delighted in this unexpected victory, with Ross Stewart and Shea Charles both producing classy finishes, either side of a Viktor Gyokeres goal for Arsenal. Southampton were aggressive when they could be, energetic throughout and boisterously supported by a fanbase that rightly believed from the first minute to the last.

Bath turned to a quartet of their England backs to turn the tide as they edged into the Champions Cup quarter-finals with a 31-22 victory over Saracens.

Trailing 10-0 at the interval at the Recreation Ground, the hosts burst into life with tries from Henry Arundell, Joe Cokanasiga, Ben Spencer and Ollie Lawrence as they set up a last-eight appointment at home against Northampton.

Spencer’s 59th-minute finish of an audacious attack that began on their own try-line looked to be pivotal but determined Saracens refused to throw in the towel and were only truly beaten when Arundell ran in his second in the 80th minute.

Bath’s scrum needed rescuing after a humbling first half with the introduction of prop Thomas du Toit making the difference and the South Africa tighthead was named man of the match.

Unlike their visit to the Recreation Ground a fortnight ago when they were overwhelmed 62-15, it was clear Saracens meant business from the start as they halted an early Bath onslaught including holding up a forward drive over the line.

Having proved their mettle in defence, they surged ahead in the 14th minute when Charlie Bracken deceived Cokanasiga with a dummy from the base of a maul and raced over.

It was poor defending from Cokanasiga, but at the other end Saracens continued to show far greater determination as the outstanding Tom Willis bulldozed a way through heavy traffic to rescue a dangerous position.

Bath’s scrum was beginning to buckle and they were also suffering at the breakdown, but the visitors were their own worst enemies at times with Fergus Burke failing to find touch with a penalty.

Rhys Carre rampaged into space and Noah Caluori almost crossed in the left corner before Guy Pepper was shown a yellow card for cynically heading the ball away on the floor.

So many elements of Saracens’ game were firing but the points they deserved proved elusive with a Farrell penalty their only other score in a half they had controlled.

To punish their wastefulness, Arundell sprinted across after being released by Charlie Ewels early in the second half and then Cokanasiga scooped up a loose ball to weave over after Lawrence had carried into space.

The tries sandwiched a dramatic reversal in the scrum with Beno Obano sin-binned for a cumulation of penalties before Du Toit forced a penalty, providing Cokanasiga with the platform to score.

Bath led for the first time and then produced the highlight of the afternoon by stopping Saracens from scoring by dislodging the ball from Andy Onyeama-Christie as he ran at the line before striking with a move that began from their own whitewash.

Cokanasiga escaped the 22, found Alfie Barbeary who waited for Spencer and the England scrum-half had gas to finish from long range.

Maro Itoje and then Ivan van Zyl burst through the breakdown and Saracens were far from done as a period of pressure ended with Max Malins touching down in the left corner.

But Harry Wilson was the next to see yellow for a dangerous tackle on Miles Reid and soon after Lawrence crashed over from close range. Caluori replied for Saracens, but Bath had the final say at the death through Arundell.

Elsewhere, Toulouse swept into the last eight with a resounding 59-26 victory over Bristol while Glasgow Warriors clinched a close affair 25-21 against the Bulls.

Harlequins were beaten 17-26 by Sale at home with Luke Cowan Dickie twice crossing the line and fly-half George Ford leading from the front as Sharks breezed into the next round.

Cowan Dickie said: “We saw more of a Sale Sharks performance today, we weathered some of their lightning bolt moments and came away with a win.”

However, the closest match-up came with Toulon versus the Stormers as the French side moved into the next round thanks to a single-point victory with a 28-27 win at the Stade Mayol.

The ITV talent show sees people from the UK and across the world audition to show off their unique talents in an attempt to impress the judges and win the £250,000 prize money.

Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon returned to the panel for the news series, and guest judge KSI has become a permanent judge on the show following the departure of Bruno Tonioli.

While Simon Cowell featured at the start of the episode, viewers saw Stacey Solomon temporarily replace him for some of the auditions this evening.

Remember the BGT winners from 2018 to 2025

Students from Braunstone Community Primary School and their headmaster combined comedy with dancing and singing, which impressed Solomon so much she said she believed they deserved the golden buzzer.

The children meet each week at 2pm on Fridays with their headmaster, who gets them all dancing and singing together, something Alesha Dixon said “all schools should roll out because kids need this life force of music”.

What is a golden buzzer on BGT?

The golden buzzer is pressed when a judge or the hosts, Ant and Dec, want to send an act straight through to the live shows to award them for their talents.

It’s only given to a select few acts per series and it means golden buzzer acts can skip some of the other auditions.

What does the winner of BGT 2026 get?

There have been 18 winners of BGT since its first series in 2007, with magician Harry Moulding winning last year.

In the ITV show’s first three years, winners won a prize of £100,000, while the biggest winners were Ashleigh and Pudsey with a prize pot of £500,000 in 2012.
