That's all from today's First Minister's Questions, in a session that saw tensions flare when the issue of immigration was raised. Here's what happened.

• First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth said an announcement on the use of smartphones in Welsh schools will be made later this afternoon.
• Reform leader Dan Thomas claimed next week's supplementary budget is "warming us up" for unpleasant government announcements on spending, while Labour's Ken Skates demanded ap Iorwerth spell out what will be cut to fund Plaid's election promises.
• Thomas also said a lack of house building "and uncontrolled immigration" has led to a housing shortage across the UK, saying radical reform of the planning system is needed.
• Ap Iorwerth accused Reform's Joe Martin of trying to "drive wedges between communities" after a question on how the first minister would help prevent an attack in Wales like the one seen in Belfast.
• Labour's Shav Taj was close to tears speaking about being a child of immigrants, after Wales' Nation of Sanctuary scheme was brought up.

The big political divide on displaypublished at 15:04 BST 16 June

At times, this was an emotionally-charged session, thanks to questions about immigration from the main opposition party, Reform UK.

As Joe Martin from Reform talked about violence allegedly perpetrated by Sudanese people in the UK, MSs on the Plaid Cymru benches audibly gasped.

I could hear the word "wow" up in the public gallery.

The exchange happened after a question about the Welsh government's Nation of Sanctuary policy, introduced under Labour.

Labour MS Shav Taj seemed close to tears as she gave an impassioned defence of the scheme.

Reform and the Conservatives were strongly opposed to it during the Senedd election campaign. Parties on the left defended it.

Today gave us perhaps the most vivid example yet of the big political divide that has emerged in the Senedd.

First Minister's Questions is wrapped up and the session moves on to questions to the cabinet minister for government effectiveness and the constitution.

Sam Rowlands of the Conservatives says it is "right" for MSs to "ask for assurances from its government as to the safeguarding arrangements in place for any type of people across our country".

He calls for Plaid to back a Wales-wide grooming gangs inquiry.

First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth accuses Rowlands of a "creative way" of aligning himself with the comments of Reform's Joe Martin.

Ap Iorwerth says the government will support any measures to make sure "that we understand the threats faced by young people or women".

The Welsh government's Nation of Sanctuary policy aims to help refugees and asylum seekers placed in Wales to integrate and access public services.

Asylum policy is decided by the UK government, but the Welsh government has a role in providing healthcare and education.

Between 2019-2025 the Welsh government spent 0.05% of its total budget on Nation of Sanctuary.

Both the Tories and Reform UK had pledged to scrap the policy, citing concerns over the message it sends.

Labour's Shav Taj says she is a "proud child of immigrants" and, fighting tears, says "my late father chose Wales over and above England when he first arrived".

"The Nation of Sanctuary ultimately is about keeping our communities safe," she says, adding "people are seeking refuge because they are scared".

"Some of the vile stuff we've just been hearing is actually really shocking", she says, in response to remarks made by Joe Martin.

"It's disturbing for the children who visit the Senedd, who will be... watching our debate here," she adds.

The first minister says it is the Senedd's job to show leadership "and to show we will not be cowed by those who are intolerant and want to sew division."

In a question about the Welsh government's Nation of Sanctuary scheme, Reform MS Joe Martin refers to a recent attack in Belfast for which a Sudanese man was arrested and charged with attempted murder.

Martin asks: "What will you do to make sure that when the next inevitable attack happens, it doesn't take place in Wales?"

Ap Iorwerth says: "I guess we're going to have to get used to this kind of contribution where there is an attempt here to drive wedges between communities.

"I, as first minister... will not rise to that."

Rhun ap Iorwerth announced a short time ago in the Senedd that an announcement on smartphones in schools would be issued later this afternoon.

Currently there is no blanket restriction on the use of smartphones in education setting in Wales.

Plaid Cymru promised at the last election to "empower" councils to restrict the use of smartphones in schools for under-16s, and ap Iorwerth recently said there wouldn't be a Wales-wide ban.

Others parties have gone further, with the Welsh Conservatives and Reform calling for a ban.

Skates tells the first minister that any difficult decisions Plaid Cymru ministers now face are "owed to your party's inability or refusal to cost the promises that you made".

"You wouldn't tell us before the election what you'll cut, will you tell us now? asks Skates.

Rhun ap Iorwerth says it has "become very, very clear" that there had been "mismanagement of funds" under the previous Welsh Labour government.

But the first minister says he's "not going to use that as an excuse for the work that we have to get on with", claiming Plaid "did more in 27 days" than "the previous Labour administration did in 27 years".

Interim Welsh Labour leader Ken Skates brings up a BBC Wales interview with Finance Minister Elin Jones over the weekend, in which he says she claimed Welsh government finances were "more difficult than you have expected".

Skates says the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) had reported before May's election that Plaid Cymru's promises "would require tax increases or cuts to unprotected services" and he asks the first minister if the report was right.

Ap Iorwerth says Welsh Labour was a "government that promised a multi-billion-pound hospital building" but "couldn't even get their sums right on how much money had been allocated for childcare".

Conservative Senedd leader Darren Millar asks whether the first minister agrees a strong defence industry in Wales is essential to the Welsh economy "at a time when war has returned to Europe" and with a fragile security situation.

Rhun ap Iorwerth says one of his first visits was to meet with veterans. He says the defence sector does play "a very important part" in the economy.

Millar cites the two recent resignations from the UK government over defence spending, and says it's important that if there is more investment then "Wales gets its fair share".

The first minister says Millar is right to say that Wales should get that, but calls for "advance warning" if more money for defence is "off the back of public spending".

For context, the Welsh government budget is largely determined by how much is spent on public services in England.

Thomas says he is pleased the supplementary budget is coming next week, but alleges ap Iorwerth is "warming us up" for unpleasant announcements next week.

He calls for the first minister to rule out tax rises and service cuts.

Thomas asks whether it will be a "major fiscal event" that helps Wales get off its feet, or "a continuation of Labour's spending plans with some tinkering around the edges?"

Plaid leader ap Iorwerth says he has made it clear on many occasions that he will not raise taxes.

But he claims the previous Labour government left in-year pressures to the tune of "millions of pounds" in the health system, saying the party should answer for why that is.

"It's for this government to roll up our selves and be determined to deliver on those pledges that we put in front of the people of Wales," ap Iorwerth adds.

Reform's Welsh leader Dan Thomas claims it is "fact that a lack of house building and uncontrolled immigration has led to a housing shortage across the UK".

Plaid has promised to build 20,000 new homes, he says, and adds radical reform of the planning system is needed.

How will ap Iorwerth speed up planning to deliver his promise, Thomas asks.

Ap Iorwerth says the housing shortages in Wales are "very very real" but rejects that they are caused by immigration.

"Yes we have set a high level ambition," he says, saying they need to work with house builders and social housing providers.

"Blaming one part of society for the issue doesn't help us," says the first minister.

"Nobody is blaming immigrants," Thomas responds, to heckles from Plaid Cymru benches.

Plaid Cymru MS Donna Cushing asks about the use of smartphones by children in schools.

Rhun ap Iorwerth says his government "is determined to act" and the evidence is now "clear" about the impact of phones on education.

He says Education Minister Anna Brychan will provide details on what will happen this afternoon.

The first question today is from Labour's Lynne Neagle, who criticises the Plaid Cymru government for announcing £55m for childcare today despite not spelling out costings in the childcare debate last week.

Neagle asks how much additional funding will be made available to meet pressures on additional learning needs (ALN), or whether the childcare pledge comes at the cost of those children who need extra support.

The first minister says the "one-off quick fix" payment will not give a long term sustainability for ALN.

Yesterday the former Labour finance minister Mark Drakeford hit out at comments that Wales' financial situation was "more challenging" than his successor had expected.

Plaid Cymru's Elin Jones said the pressures meant it would be "extremely difficult" to fund all her party's manifesto commitments.

"I am not surprised they find being in government more complicated than talking about it. Given their manifesto, Plaid Cymru were always going to find keeping their promises harder than making them," Drakeford, who was also previously first minister and Welsh Labour leader, said in response.

"What cannot be a surprise on this occasion are the financial facts which were well and publicly known to them."

Today's FMQs come hours after the Welsh government announced it has found an extra £55m to help roll out free childcare to more two-year-olds.

It says the cash will provide an extra 3,300 childcare places, providing 12.5 hours of care a week for parents in Flying Start areas, external in Wales.

That free childcare scheme is a policy from the last Labour Welsh government - and the new Plaid Cymru one has promised to extend it to provide 20 hours a week for all babies from nine months to four years old.

But it has come under pressure to spell out when exactly it will start to roll out its plan - having only said it'll be delivered before the next Senedd election in 2030 - and how it'll afford it.
