    Representatives from all over the world gather in Turkey on Monday for the annual keynote UN climate conference, COP 31. Meanwhile, Welsh government have confirmed they will no longer fund planting trees in Uganda, an environmental project undertaken by the Size of Wales charity. Their deputy director, Barbara Davies-Quy joins us in the studio. Should the 43 police forces of England and Wales unite to become eight or ten larger forces? Dyfed Powys police and crime commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn would prefer devolving policing to Wales and explains why. With talk of a May general election in the air, one vote we know we'll have to cast in six months time is for our local councillors. Wales Governance Centre's Richard Wyn Jones is with us to tell us what we can expect in that campaign. Is the Senedd a failed experiment? That's what former Conservative Senedd candidate Councillor Calum Davies thinks and he's written a pamphlet all about his views. He shares them with us too. And it's Remembrance Sunday. Simon Bendry from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission illustrates why it's still important to honour the dead of the First World War.

    Continuing with our series meeting politicians of all colours, this week we have the company of Claire Archibald, one of Reform's two Senedd members for Ceredigion Penfro.

    Violence and fires have spread across France during mass demonstrations about the cost of living. We have journalist Anne-Elisabeth Moutet live from Paris. With a wildfire summit planned for the end of the week, and NRW warning of flooding to come, we have rural resilience minister Llyr Gruffydd on the programme. The petitions' committee in the Senedd has been told our children learn more Welsh history in Welsh lessons than from their history teachers. Dr Elin Jones made recommendations to the Welsh government for more Welsh history in schools more than a decade ago and is with us in the studio to tell us why. Poet Laureate Hanan Issa was barred from the Senedd's official opening ceremony because her poem commissioned for the event wasn't "apolitical". Aneirin Karadog takes us back to the old court bards to explain our bardic traditions.

    Continuing with our series getting to know politicians, we have the company of one of Reform's three MSs for the Blaenau Gwent Caerffili Rhymni constituency, Catherine Cullen.
