Today's Video Focus: The Welsh government today cleared its diary in the assembly for ministers to announce one by one what the impact would be of leaving the EU in 66 days without a deal.

And the Labour First Minister went further than his leader in London, saying if there is no deal by next week he will back a second referendum.
