Selfish Fantasists Hijacked Bristol Protest (with Mayor Marvin Rees)

Protests in Bristol over the Crime and Police bill turned violent and led to a number of police officers being seriously injured. The city's Labour Mayor Marvin Rees, tells Bloomberg Westminster's Caroline Hepker and Roger Hearing that a small number of self-indulgent people - with fantasies about being revolutionaries - hijacked what was otherwise a legitimate debate. Plus Tobias Ellwood, Conservative MP & chair of the defense select committee, joins to discuss the government's new defense review. He argues that shrinking the armed forces now is a mistake and that defense spending must go up to three percent of GDP to deal with a constant conflict even more complex than the Cold War.
