    Defence, Belfast, Finance, Welsh Communities, Unnos, New MS

    With two further ministerial resignations, this time in the ministry of defence, what now for the government and defence spending? Francis Tusa, editor of Defence Analysis is with us to discuss. After two nights of rioting in Belfast following a horrific attack, Professor Dominic Bryan from Queen's Belfast University explains to us how we got here. Questions are being raised about how Plaid Cymru will fund their policies in government. We put them to Finance minister Elin Jones. With rural schools in Welsh-speaking communities closing, research fellow Catrin Llwyd looks at the use of the Welsh language in our communities. The Welsh government is naming its arm's length body for building social housing 'Unnos'. Dr Juliette Wood from Cardiff University tells us what a 'Ty Unnos' or house in one night really is. And in our series meeting new members of the Senedd, we have Plaid Cymru's Zaynub Akbar joining us in the studio.

    Health Minister Mabon ap Gwynfor joins us for the first time in his new role. St Petersburg hosted its annual economic forum this week.
