It’s been an exceptionally wet start to 2026. Rain has fallen somewhere in the UK every single day for weeks on end. 26 weather stations set new monthly records for rainfall in January. And Wales has already reached 39% of its February monthly average. So how is the continuous wet weather impacting you? It’s National Apprenticeships Week - a celebration of the positive impact that apprenticeships make. Since 2021, more than 100,000 people have pursued apprenticeships in Wales, giving them practical work skills and recognised qualifications. Which route did you use to get into work, and was it the right choice for you? And would you use a driverless taxi? A robotaxi service could be operational in London as soon as September this year. Waymo, the US driverless car firm, says a pilot service will launch in April, and their vehicles are currently being operated by a safety driver, mapping the streets.The UK Government has estimated that the autonomous vehicle industry could add £42 billion to the UK economy by 2035 and create nearly 40,000 new jobs.
