Jonty Colchester, from the Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales and Guto Davies from Green Gen Cymru discuss what they think should happen. Cost of living protests have turned violent in Italy. We'll hear from journalist Sabine Castelfranco in Rome. EU and Canadian representatives will meet at a summit in Montreal later this week to discuss associate membership for Canada.
