Budget, pylons, riots in Italy, EU, and is the cabinet bloated?

Vaughan Roderick with political news, discussions and analysis from Wales and beyond.

As the chancellor prepares for his first budget, we'll consider what might be announced with economist Vicky Pryce. The Welsh government are consulting on banning pylons. 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. Journalist Mared Gwyn will explain how and why this came about. Former Secretary of State for Wales Robert Buckland thinks the cabinet is too big. He tells us why, and how he would change things.

And continuing with our series meeting politicians of all colours, this week we have the company of Plaid Cymru's Llinos Medi, MP for Ynys Mon.
