00:00 Shumai, these are your Wales headlines. Former Welsh Secretary Simon Hart was accused
00:06 the Welsh Government Ministers of not fully understanding their own lockdown rules during
00:10 Covid. Speaking at the ongoing Covid inquiry taking place in Cardiff, Hart also made the
00:15 claim that the Welsh Government had different lockdown rules for the sake of it.
00:20 Pembrokeshire County Council's 12.5% tax rise is believed to be the biggest in the country,
00:24 with another rise potentially next year. There was talk of a 21% increase which would have
00:28 been the biggest jump in Welsh history, but that was decided against. The council say
00:33 there is over £30 million funding gap they need to make up.
00:37 Newport City Council has hit back at a local brewer who said they are closing their Newport
00:40 location due to a slowly imploding city centre. Tiny Rebel, who also has a site in Cardiff
00:45 and a brewery in Rogerstone, say that the High Street in Newport has been a casualty
00:48 of no help for hospitality post-Covid. Those are the headlines, you're up to date.
