Huge wildfires are still burning in parts of Wales. In Blaenavon, emergency crews have been tackling a fire that's been burning since last Sunday. People can smell the smoke up to 30 miles away. In north Wales, a specialist firefighting helicopter is due to join efforts to tackle a mountain blaze in Rhinogydd, near Harlech. Until now there've been no helicopters available to help because they were tackling fires elsewhere in the UK. Do you live near one of the wildfires? How are wildfires affecting you this summer? Research from wealth manager Quilter suggests almost half of couples do not share financial planning equally, with 46% acting alone in some way and more than one in 10 leaving one partner solely responsible. Do you talk to your partner about money? Do you split your bills equally or are you more likely to keep your finances separate? And finally, have you seen something in the sky you can't explain? Michael Sheen has - he's spoken out about his experiences of seeing a 'phalanx of lights' coming over the mountain in Port Talbot when he was a child. He'll be starring in a new Welsh comedy all about seeing UFOs, that premieres at Edinburgh Film Festival in August. And in the US, the House of Congress has just adopted the 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act', which would create new requirements for the US government to track and identify unexplained experiences. So have you ever seen anything? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110 or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
