In the Senedd today, Plaid Cymru's Adam Price is making the case for the age of criminal responsibility to be increased. It has been reported in the press today that John Venables, who tortured and murdered two-year-old James Bulger back in 1993, is going to have his case heard by a parole board. Venables and Robert Thompson were only 10 years old at the time they committed the murder. The case led to the age of criminal responsibility in Wales and England being lowered to 10. What do you think? Should the age of criminal responsibility be increased? How important is faith to you? A recent YouGov study found that a spiritual surge has taken place amongst 13-28 year olds, often referred to as Gen Z. Data suggests that there has been a rise in church attendance among young people, and that their level of faith has now surpassed the 65+ age group. And what’s been your best find? Nine year old Ariana discovered a rock whilst on a trip to Penarth – which experts believe is a meteorite from a planet which no longer exists. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110, or Text 8 10 12.
