Guests include Environment Minister Lesley Griffiths AM and a local AM from one of the areas badly hit by recent floods Mick Antoniw. In the wake of the terrible attack in Germany, Professor Roger Griffin discusses the far right and with a parliamentary election in Iran, what are the prospects for Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe? We hear from her sister-in-law, Welsh-based GP Dr Rebecca Ratcliffe Jones. Plus, in the week in which the marbles known as Elgin and Parthenon made the news, what was it that drove the Victorians to take and ship other peoples antiquities halfway round the world? Novelist and Aberystwyth academic Dr Jacqueline Yallop reflects on the whys and wherefores of their collecting frenzy.
