-Hello and welcome to Llanelli

-for today's edition of Prynhawn Da.

-Are you totally confused

-by all the fake news stories?

-Sian Morgan Lloyd joins us today

-to shed some light on the subject.

-This what else you can enjoy

-over the next 50 minutes.

-It's Storytelling Week so there's

-another excerpt from Mari George.

-Merched y Wawr is 50 so some

-of its members are today's models.

-Dr Ann tells us more about Heart

-Month that is marked every February.

-We hear of a new fund in memory of

-a boy called Jac who died aged two.

-There's all this and more over

-the next 50 minutes on Prynhawn Da.

-If you've been listening to the news

-over recent months...

-..especially the events that have

-unfolded in the United States...

-..you'll have found it impossible

-to avoid references to fake news.

-Donald Trump has accused the press

-of publishing fake news about him...

-..but has also delivered

-fake news himself.

-But what is true and what is fake?

-Sian Morgan Lloyd

-is a lecturer in Journalism...

-..at Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol

-in Cardiff University.

-Fake news isn't something new.

-No, fake news isn't new.

-We are familiar with newspapers

-that print fake news.

-We are familiar with newspapers

-that print fake news.

-Newspapers will show favouritism.

-We rely on the internet

-for how we view the news.

-Is it possible to recognize

-what is fake?

-Donald Trump has liaised

-with the press over recent weeks.

-The same applies with Brexit.

-It's been too little, too late.

-In The Times today, it's said

-that we should teach children...

-..what is fake online.

-We need to be aware of what to look

-out for and check facts.

-Facebook is very influential.

-Yes, Facebook is influential.

-Many people have turned their backs

-on the traditional media.

-People prefer to hear their news

-through social media.

-You may be friends with people

-who share different views.

-They only show the stories

-that interest them.

-You may only see what their

-views are on these sites.

-Facebook claims that fake news

-isn't true.

-Facebook has also been slow to act

-upon fake news.

-You may be looking for a hotel

-online...

-..and Facebook will pick up on this.

-Facebook may have had

-an influence on election votes.

-There's a lot fake news

-that's been published...

-..before Facebook came along.

-In the USA recently,

-alternative news has come to light.

-This may be an image

-that appears online...

-..but the image was taken years ago.

-There was the image of the crowd

-at the inauguration for Trump.

-The image was compared to Obama's

-inauguration.

-We're celebrating

-Storytelling Week...

-..by reading excerpts of

-Hi and Fi by Mari George.

-Branwen's mother from the Mabinogion

-is unhappy with her marriage...

-..to the King of Harlech.

-On the evening of the hunt...

-..when Llyr went with the boys

-to collect meat for the winter...

-..I had a dream full of things

-that I didn't understand yet.

-There weren't any clues

-This dream depicted

-the colour of my love.

-The man himself was smiling at me.

-I woke covered in sweat and tears

-and Branwen must've heard me.

-Because she came into the room

-and climbed towards me on the bed.

-Her body heat was more comforting

-than any woollen blanket.

-There was something maternal

-about Branwen at that moment.

-And I decided to open

-up my heart to her.

-"I don't love your father."

-Branwen paused for a second.

-"I know", she replied.

-"I hate him", I said.

-"Me too", said Branwen,

-and I grabbed both her hands.

-"Don't put yourself in a situation

-where someone can mistreats you."

-"You've got strength,

-so don't waste it."

-The following day,

-whilst the men were sleeping...

-..I found her on the side

-of the castle above the sea.

-She was holding an axe.

-"What are you doing?" I said.

-"We'll take the best horses

-and the dogs as well."

-"I've sharpened the axe."

-"OK, but not now", I replied,

-"We need time to prepare."

-"But we'll leave." "When?",

-she asked. "In a week."

-I began to plan our escape and

-go to the man who truly loved me.

-If I only listened

-to Branwen that night.

-The first of September dawned

-and it was an important day.

-The day I fled from

-Harlech and Llyr.

-Both of us collected weapons

-in a wooden box...

-..and sharpened each one in

-the early hours whilst Llyr slept.

-They were waiting for us

-with two sacks of clothes...

-..ready to tie to the

-youngest horses in the stable.

-There was a knock on the door

-and it was Branwen.

-Her face told me that

-our world had changed.

-We'll hear the final part of

-our story on tomorrow's programme.

-This year, the Merched y Wawr

-marks its 50th anniversary.

-We're joined by three ladies

-from the various groups in Wales.

-They are Sian Davies,

-Carys Roberts and Delyth Jenkins.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Sian has recently retired

-from being a nurse with the NHS.

-I was a sister at Bronglais.

-I retired back in November.

-I'm a member of the Clwb Gwawr

-group of Merched y Wawr...

-..in the Cilcennin area.

-The branch has about 11 members.

-We have a quiz next Tuesday.

-It should be a lot of fun.

-Delyth is a keen cook.

-She won the World Bara Brith

-Competition in Llandudno.

-This is the bara brith.

-I thought it was a Merched y Wawr

-competition.

-I heard that I won on Heno.

-Is it a family recipe?

-The recipe is in my family.

-It's from my Aunty Beryl.

-I hope to sell the bara brith

-in a shop.

-I've always made it for friends.

-Some of the crew have nibbled on the

-bara brith!

-I'm a retired teacher.

-I've taught in Somerset and Cardiff.

-I've returned to my home area.

-I'm a member of the Aberaeron

-branch of Merched y Wawr.

-Our branch is very busy.

-We enjoyed a recent talk

-with Sulwyn Thomas.

-We also enjoyed some cake

-and tea afterwards.

-Delyth won best in show

-for her Italian biscuits...

-..at the Royal Welsh Show.

-Yes and I won a Merched y Wawr

-competition with my biscuits.

-Merched y Wawr enabled me

-to socialise with women my age.

-It was a chance to visit places

-and do some pottery.

-You'll be modelling for us today to

-coincide with the 50th celebrations.

-We are looking forward to model

-for Huw today.

-We are slightly nervous.

-We have seen the clothes

-and we like them.

-There aren't any bikinis in sight!

-After the break,

-we open the surgery with Dr Ann.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Dr Ann has joined us

-to discuss heart disease...

-..and more specifically

-the hearts of women...

-..as February is Heart Month.

-This is the heart.

-It beats 70 times a minute.

-It's a bundle of muscles.

-It needs oxygen.

-The oxygen is delivered

-through arteries.

-The arteries are

-the coronary arteries.

-The image showed a yellow coating...

-..which is the fat

-inside the arteries.

-This forms the arteries to close.

-This starts in your twenties.

-If your arteries close...

-..do you need to have an operation?

-It will cause a cardiac arrest.

-The heart needs to be restarted

-within eight minutes...

-..before any brain damage is caused.

-Some people will need a stent.

-It's placed in an artery

-in the leg...

-..and is led to the heart.

-This will help to open the heart.

-However, some people will need

-to have a by-pass.

-We are focusing on women today.

-Women suffer as much as men.

-Heart disease is often thought of

-as being a male disease...

-..but it's just as popular

-in women...

-..as it is in men.

-Men and women are at the same risk.

-Smoking is one of the main causes

-of heart disease.

-It has more of an effect on women...

-..than of men.

-More girls in their teens smoke...

-..than boys of the same age.

-Women are three times more likely

-to die of heart disease...

-..than of breast cancer.

-But we can also help ourselves.

-It's important that

-you shouldn't smoke...

-..and eat healthily.

-You need to arrive in the hospital..

-..within an hour of an attack.

-Does alcohol help your heart?

-Those people who are sensible

-about their alcohol intake...

-..and about the amount

-of exercise they do...

-..are at less of a risk

-of having a heart attack.

-The jury is out on this!

-They say that our body shape

-can be a risk factor.

-As we age, we gain more body fat

-around our waist.

-This will affect the heart.

-Many women have symptoms

-and don't realize...

-..that it's caused by heart disease.

-The symptoms are more gradual

-in women.

-It's time for some fashion.

-How are the new models behaving,

-Huw?

-Did you mention models?

-Yes, I've got models

-from Merched y Wawr.

-They will be modelling once a month.

-I hope that we can try some

-other delicacies.

-Delyth won the World Bara Brith

-Competition in Llandudno.

-Today, I'm looking at navy.

-It's very fashionable.

-It was so easy today.

-I didn't know my models.

-Navy is all over the high street.

-It's a tasteful colour.

-it's a great option

-other than the black.

-I've kept it simple

-and practical for Delyth.

-Yesterday,

-I was talking about coats.

-The jacket is by Ben De Lisi

-and is 95.

-He's working with Principles.

-Principles sells the staples.

-I want to show the jumper.

-There's a flap on it.

-It's far more interesting.

-This is what you get from

-Principles.

-There's plenty of trousers on the

-high street.

-Sian is our next model.

-Sian's outfit is similar to the

-clothes she wears.

-Sian likes to wear layers.

-All the ladies were worried about

-modelling today.

-There's a great scarf.

-The tunic is very simple...

-..but it isn't denim.

-There's some super skinny jeans.

-A lot of people don't think that

-they can wear super skinny jeans.

-Please remember that most people...

-..will wear something

-longer over the top.

-They are like leggings.

-Leggings are very 1990s!

-I prefer the trousers.

-Carys is our next model.

-Carys struggles to find items to

-suit her shape.

-It's important to shop around.

-This outfit is lovely.

-The navy blouse

-has some black lace...

-..so it's teamed

-with black trousers.

-A lot of people will

-have black accessories.

-The lace adds interest.

-It means you can wear it

-to many events.

-I think it looks very expensive.

-I'm ready for my coffee

-and Bara Brith now!

-After the break,

-we hear of a new charity.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Our next guest is a young mother.

-On 12 April 2012, she gave

-birth to twins, Jac and Wil.

-It was a joyous day for the family.

-But tragically, on 3 February 2015,

-two years ago to tomorrow...

-..Jac sadly died.

-His parents, Sian and Andy

-have set up a special trust...

-..to help other parents

-who face a similar battle.

-Welcome to the programme, Sian.

-Tell us about Jac

-who was the second twin to be born.

-He had a straight-forward birth,

-just like Wil.

-At about six months, we noticed

-that he wasn't developing like Wil.

-He never enjoyed eating

-and always had stomach problems...

-..just like a lot of other babies.

-We consulted a doctor and noticed

-some differences between the pair.

-He had a lot of tests

-and they thought he had epilepsy.

-He was put on various courses

-of medication but nothing worked.

-I had to fight to get a doctor to

-study the workings of his stomach.

-We eventually saw a specialist and

-thought we were on the right path...

-..as he was improving

-and gaining weight.

-Unfortunately in the November...

-..he got a virus

-and was admitted to hospital.

-Wil was ill too just like a lot

-of children at that time of year.

-The doctors were very worried and he

-went into the high dependency unit.

-He was discharged

-but his body wasn't strong enough...

-..and he lost his battle.

-We're not certain but think

-that the virus caused his death.

-You still don't know what caused it.

-No, we don't know why he suffered

-in those early days.

-He had bronchiolitis

-His body was so weak

-that he couldn't fight it.

-When you have children

-of the same age...

-..it's only natural that you compare

-their development.

-Yes, they advise against it

-but it's difficult to avoid.

-Wil was walking

-at eight and a half months...

-..so they were both

-at different extremes.

-Friends had babies at the same time

-so it was difficult not to compare.

-You were shocked that he wasn't

-as strong as his brother...

-..but it was an even bigger blow

-to lose him.

-Yes, and the night he died,

-everyone in the house was ill...

-..but he seemed to have turned

-a corner and was improving...

-..so it was totally unexpected.

-That was two years ago and

-his brother, Wil, is full of life.

-Yes, that's right.

-Did he miss his brother

-or was he too young to realize?

-We explained it in a simple way by

-saying that he'd gone to the stars.

-Wil still looks to the stars

-and talks to him.

-We talk about him and there are

-photographs all over the house.

-Tell us about the charity

-that you've established.

-A month after losing Jac,

-we had a leaflet through the door.

-It was from a neighbour who I didn't

-know and lived five doors away.

-She wanted money for her twin

-daughter who had cerebral palsy.

-They needed 80,000

-for the treatment.

-After my experience, I knew

-that I had to help this girl.

-I didn't know how to raise money

-but was told to start a charity.

-I thought it was silly

-and not something that I could do.

-We thought about it and decided to

-try it and we named it after Jac.

-Elusen Jac Bach Charity

-has raised about 60,000 to date.

-We've helped eleven families

-and we're working with two more now.

-You sell merchandise and we can see

-the logo on your jumper.

-I like that hoodie.

-How can people donate or buy

-any of your great merchandise?

-There's many ways to do that but

-we have a website, www.jacbach.com

-You can donate on that website.

-You can also email me as we have

-hoodies, t-shirts and beanie hats.

-Thank you, I know it hasn't been

-easy for you to tell your story.

-Good luck with the charity

-as you help a lot of families.

-Next week, we celebrate

-a legendary Welsh figure...

-..and these are the details.

-Next week on Heno and Prynhawn Da...

-..we mark 300 years since the birth

-of William Williams Pantycelyn.

-He was responsible for some

-of our nation's greatest hymns.

-We'll discuss his life and work,

-visit places of importance...

-..and hear many renditions

-of his popular hymns.

-Join us next week...

-..as we remember the Sweet Singer,

-William Williams Pantycelyn.

-Yes, we'll be celebrating William

-Williams Pantycelyn next week.

-Let's see what you can enjoy

-on tonight's Heno.

-Llinos Lee

-has joined us in the studio.

-What have you got for us tonight?

-I won't be singing!

-You made me panic!

-My studio guest is the Welsh

-Language Commissioner, Meri Huws.

-She's also my husband's boss!

-She tells us about the options

-of using Welsh in the supermarket.

-Yvonne joins the Treorchy Male

-Choir as they celebrate 70 years.

-There's also some Hyni-buns.

-They are being sold in Dolgellau.

-We mark the end of an era

-in Whitland...

-..as the local postmaster

-retires after 53 years of service.

-There's more fashion from our

-catwalk with Huw and the ladies...

-..in a few minutes.
