    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.
