Lunchtime meeting at the Senedd. Bruce Kent speaks to the All Party Group on Human Rights and Peace about "Trident and Nuclear Disarmament".

Côr Cochion Caerdydd (Cardiff Reds Choir) was formed in turbulent 1983. They learned their songs from many sources; from people on picket lines and protests during the Miners’ Strike, and from those who struggled for freedom in South Africa, Latin America and elsewhere. In the past three decades, their singing has raised tens of thousands of pounds supporting dozens of causes and organisations. This is a celebration of the popular movements which brought an end to Apartheid, the Poll Tax and saw nuclear weapons leave Greenham Common.

With John Hilary. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) now under negotiation between the EU and the US is set to be the most significant trade liberalising agreement the world has ever seen. This treaty, and especially its proposals for investor-state dispute settlement, will empower corporations to override government laws protecting public health, environmental regulations and social policies where these interfere with corporate profiteering. Tax payers and citizens will once again be left dealing with the consequences and footing the bill.
