What do you make of the amount of money that Wales spends overseas? A motion was tabled in the Senedd calling for an end to Welsh Government spending on international relations. It's been criticised by campaign groups, who say it would damage Wales’ reputation overseas. We're talking banks today, is there still one near you? Wales has seen many banks closing over the last few weeks. Halifax has lost its banks in Cardiff, Bridgend and Cwmbran this month... Lloyds has closed branches in Cardiff and Llangefni. So - what’s happened to banking where you live? Why do we still need face-to-face services when we can bank online? Tell us the towns in Wales without a bank... Have you been keeping up with The World Cup? And more specifically, hydration breaks... All 104 matches in this World Cup are pausing for three minute hydration breaks midway through each half - to protect players from the hot weather in the USA. But there has been some criticism of the breaks - with some saying broadcasters are using them to show more adverts. What do you think of the hydration breaks? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
