Wales Covid rules, Ethiopia and Swansea's Copperopolis

Political news, discussions and analysis. Guests include Dr Dafydd Townley, Stephen Doughty MP, former MP Mark Williams, Professor Louise Miskell and Professor Chris Evans.

We consider what new Covid regulations might mean for Wales. Across the Atlantic, President Elect Joe Biden is looking ahead to his time in the White House. We ask American historian Dr Dafydd Townley what he thinks the future might bring.

Meanwhile, the situation in Ethiopia looks grave. William Davison is a senior Ethiopia analyst with the International Crisis Group, and he has just left Ethiopia. We hear his views and we discuss it with Shadow Foreign Affairs and International Development Minister and Labour MP for Cardiff South & Penarth Stephen Doughty.

Also former Welsh Liberal Democrat MP Mark Williams will tell us about a visit to a political event in France which he subsequently discovered was at the centre of an alleged bomb plot.

And we'll consider a new book 'Swansea Copper - A Global History' by historians Professor Chris Evans, from the University of South Wales, and Professor Louise Miskell, from the University of Swansea. Plus a round up of the Sunday papers with guest reviewers Chris Johnes and Dr Rebecca Rumbul.
