ITV News: Anti-fracking events to get underway across Wales

Anti-fracking street stalls and events are taking place across Wales today, with thousands of people expected to join environmental groups demanding that the Welsh Government bans the drilling process.

Friends of the Earth say over a million people in Wales live in areas at risk from the process used to extract shale gas.

They say more should be done to cut energy waste and develop Wales' potential to find cleaner energy sources.

However, The Welsh Government say appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the environment in regards to dealing with natural gas and minerals.
