Drivetime - 5pm - 7pm Friday. Friday Drivetime - Bristol’s weekly current affairs round-up. Discussing the big stories in Bristol. Britain and around the world live with Martin Summers and Marina Morris - at 6pm straight talking and investigative reports
This week we hear from local author and campaigner Joanne Baker who has uncovered the horrible truth behind the British Army's use of radioactive Depleted Uranium ammunition. Joanne has discovered the devastating after-effects can effectively render areas where the weapon has been used permenantly uninhabitable and induce the most horrible birth defects in the population around these areas. Like many scientists and others across the world she believes this nuclear waste, turned into a weapon, should never be used.

He asks why the peace process has failed to re-route parades despite the sectarian violence they cause.
