Jason Mohammad takes your calls on animal cruelty, apprenticeships and holograms.

How do you think dog cruelty cases should be stopped? Does an apprenticeship have the same value as university? Would you be happy to see your favourite artist as a hologram?

The RSPCA says reports of deliberate cruelty have risen by over 50 per cent in Wales in the last five years. There were nearly 200 more cases of cruelty in 2025 than in 2024. The figures show Staffordshire bull terriers and bulldog type dogs make up almost a quarter of deliberate cruelty cases. How do you think dog cruelty cases should be stopped?

The National Training Federation for Wales has urged the Welsh Government to position apprenticeships with equal status alongside further education, higher education and other parts of the tertiary model. Strategic Director, Lisa Mytton, has said that one should not be seen as a lesser option than another. Do you view an apprenticeship as the same value as university?

And finally, Elton John has reportedly signed a multi-million-pound deal to star in a groundbreaking Las Vegas residency as a hologram, meaning fans could continue watching him perform long after he has taken his final bow. Would you be happy to see your favourite artist as a hologram?
