-and Lesotho for over 30 years.

-The World Food Programme

-Let's see a clip

-from Argyfwng Sychder Lesotho.

-This child is eating porridge.

-He's obviously enjoying his food but

-this could be his only meal today.

-A lot of these children

-will only have a meal at school.

-It must have been very harrowing

-for you.

-It's so emotional.

-There were many orphans

-in that school.

-I was there in 2005 to report

-on the HIV and AIDS epidemic.

-Some 23% of the population

-still suffer from the disease.

-Some children only have food

-in school.

-We can see some shots of Lesotho.

-There's a lovely sunset.

-Yes, this is so beautiful.

-It's a lovely country.

-It's the most beautiful country

-in the world.

-Thousands of acres of crops

-have failed across the country.

-Some rain came but it was too late.

-Some 80% of the people

-depend on farming.

-They haven't got anything for the

-winter.

-You've been to the country before.

-There have been links between Wales

-and Lesotho for over 30 years.

-Dolen Cymru Wales Lesotho Link

-has an Emergency Drought Appeal.

-Gwenallt and Non Rees

-The clinic is under strain

-from HIV/AIDS.

-Unicef has warned that up to 800,000

-people, 40% of the population...

-..will be in danger

-in the coming months.

-This time they are facing

-a very different crisis.

-Things could get as bad

-as it has done in Ethiopia.

-I was there in 2005 to report

-on the HIV and AIDS epidemic.

-Things haven't changed much.

-International Nurses Day allows us

-to honour nurses who help others.

-Nurses are essential to the lives

-..from the moment you're born to

-the day you draw your final breath.

-We celebrate nurses on 12 May which

-was Florence Nightingale's birthday.

-Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli.

-It's important to celebrate

-International Nurses Day...

-..as there's a lot of good work

-in the profession and the NHS.

-This is an opportunity for people

-to see all the hard work that we do.

-Everyone is coming up with new

-initiatives for our wards and units.

-There are pamphlets and stickers

-Welcome back.

-This week, Wrexham is full of events

-for its Carnival of Words.

-The town library hosts the launch

-of a book by a prominent local poet.

-How's it all going

-in North-East Wales, Gerallt?

-Good evening, Angharad.

-Tonight sees the launch of a new

-book of poetry called Llinynnau...

-..by Aled Lewis Evans.

-The book has poems about the towns

-along the Wales-England border.

-I joined Aled Lewis Evans

-in some of the hidden gems of Wales.

-"There are still places in Wales

-that cannot be found on a map

-"Beyond the reach of any TomTom

-"Despite our desire to find them

-"This could be why they continue

-to remain hidden from modern media

-"Selattyn, Weston Rhyn, Dolywern

-"On the old borders of our pains"

-In this area, people never know

-if they are in England or Wales.

-Yes, we're on the borders

-and there's a mixture of names...

-..with a Welsh placename in England

-and an English name in Wales.

-There are names such as Selattyn,

-Weston Rhyn and Dolywern.

-We're sitting in that triangle now

-and I refer to it in my poem.

-What are you trying to convey

-about these hidden areas of Wales?

-"Hidden" is the perfect word

-for the area.

-I was trying to find somewhere using

-the TomTom and it couldn't find it.

-The point I make is that

-these places are not on the maps...

-..yet retain their Welsh essence

-making them interesting but hidden.

-"At Sycharth,

-Rhydycroesau, Llansilin

-"Miles of our permanence

-"Retaining our secret tightly

-close to the old border"

-You mention Llansilin

-and I'm familiar with that name...

-..but I'm sure many, including me,

-don't know about Rhydycroesau.

-It's an old crossroads

-near Llansilin and Oswestry.

-Llansilin is also relatively hidden

-but celebrates the Welsh culture.

-The streets also retain

-the area's ancient essence.

-A lot of the references are about

-the areas along the border...

-..so are you a poet of the border?

-Yes, but I often like to see the

-continuation of the Welsh essence...

-..in the villages of Llansilin,

-Rhydycroesau and that triangle.

-I don't know how they retain

-the Welsh essence with such gusto!

-Llansilin is a glorious place

-to bring our journey to an end...

-..and wish you all the best

-with this new book.

-My thanks to Aled Lewis Evans for

-taking me to unknown areas of Wales.

-I'm now joined by Karina Wyn Dafis

-and Arwel Tanat.

-Karina is reading some of his work.

-It's an honour to read his poetry.

-He is a real communicator.

-He can connect with the audience.

-He is an instinctive bard.

-He is a popular poet.

-He is a real character.

-We have been friends

-for a long time.

-We choose songs to compliment

-the poems.

-We also write special ones.

-Back to you in Llanelli.

-How many of you had a sandwich

-for lunch?

-Did you realize

-that it's National Sandwich Week?

-Tonight, London hosts the Sammies

-that award sandwich makers...

-..but Llinos has been in search

-of the best sandwich in Wales.

-The sandwich, one of the world's

-most famous and popular foods.

-It was named after John Montague,

-the 4th Earl of Sandwich...

-..back in the eighteenth century.

-In Britain, we eat over 11.5 billion

-sandwiches every year.

-It's no surprise then...

-..that a whole week has been

-earmarked to celebrate the sandwich.

-The aim is to look

-at sandwiches in a new light.

-With thousands of food options

-available these days...

-..so we want you to enjoy sandwiches

-anytime throughout the day.

-But what is your favourite sandwich?

-The most popular cold sandwiches

-in Caernarfon...

-..are ham salad and turkey salad.

-Many choose tuna or egg mayonnaise.

-My favourite is lettuce,

-ham and tomato.

-Chicken piri piri.

-Today, I've got chicken and salad.

-Cheese and cucumber.

-If you could choose anything,

-what would it be?

-Chocolate!

-What is a fashionable sandwich

-from a chef's point of view?

-At the moment,

-hot fillings are the done thing.

-Also chutneys and pickles

-instead of just mustard or a sauce.

-Maybe a smoked pork belly bun

-with an Asian slaw.

-Raw vegetables with chilli, sugar,

-sesame oil and Thai fish sauce.

-It's really crunchy and tasty.

-I'll put some on the sandwich and

-then add some hot smoked pork belly.

-Instead of using butter, the juice

-will permeate the sandwich.

-Then more slaw on top.

-If you consider that 60 million

-people live here...

-..which equates to 60 sandwiches

-per person every year.

-Every person in the country eats

-at least one sandwich every week.

-Is there still hope

-for the jam sandwich?

-Everyone who feels hungry late at

-night will go for a jam sandwich.

-Whatever is your favourite sandwich,

-enjoy British Sandwich Week.

-We've already had some

-great feedback on Twitter.

-Cathryn Evans likes a chips, salt

-and vinegar or fish finger sandwich.

-Lynwen John

-prefers a crisp sandwich.

-Rhodri Brookes likes a sandwich with

-cheese, plum chutney and pickle.

-Gwen Alaw enjoys a sandwich

-filled with cheese and onion crisps!

-It's time to return to the

-Carmarthen Bay Film Festival.

-Let's hear from the directors

-of the three Welsh language films...

-..shortlisted for

-the John Hefin Award.

-There is another award

-in John Hefin's name.

-A special Welsh Short Film award.

-There are three on the short list.

-Representatives of two of them

-join me...

-..Glanant and Matthew.

-Tell us about the film.

-It's called Pili Palod Penygroes.

-It's a comedy about cross dressers

-in Caernarfon.

-It was part of the It's my Shout

-series with the BBC and S4C.

-I had great fun filming it.

-It's an honour to be nominated.

-I hope I have half the career

-John Hefin had.

-Glanant, how about you?

-It's called Cymanfa Garu.

-It's a film about people from

-across Wales who come together.

-I'm sure you are very competitive.

-I was involved with both films.

-I sort of know

-which one I want to win.

-I hope they both do well.

-You will celebrate whoever wins.

-I would like to thank Matthew,

-who was the cameraman for us.

-How long does it take to film them?

-Pili Palod was a three-day shoot in

-North Wales.

-Cymanfa Garu, we filmed in one day

-in Newcastle Emlyn.

-A lot of hard work.

-We don't know who will win but there

-will be celebrations.

-The journalist, Garry Owen, has

-been my studio guest this evening.

-Garry presents a programme on S4C

-about the drought in Lesotho.
