Kirsty Williams - funding cuts will hit 'most vulnerable'
Welsh Liberal Democrats party leader Kirsty Williams has claimed £10.5m in education cuts will affect the "most vulnerable" students in Wales.
Kirsty Williams said: "Colleges and schools have already spent this money but are now being told that they will not receive the cash they expected from the government.

Llandrindod lake - 'no fishing' signpost
Took this photo of an old discarded signpost on one of the embankments surrounding Llandrindod Wells lake. When I took this there was a boat about 100 yards away with 4 people in it looking at reeds.
