-Hello and welcome to Tuesday's

-Prynhawn Da live from Llanelli.

-In a moment, we'll speak with

-Dr Dewi Evans about meningitis.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Welcome to the programme.

-

-Thank you.

-Here's what's coming up

-on today's programme.

-The law about children's car seats

-is changing on 1 March.

-We'll have all the safety details.

-Sarah Philpott is here with advice

-for choosing a vegan diet.

-Carys demonstrates how to keep

-a child's playroom neat and tidy.

-Daf's at an exhibition that focuses

-on turning waste into a daily use.

-Llangeitho-born Daniel Thomas

-also shares his prized possessions.

-Stay tuned to Sian and myself

-for the next 50 minutes.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-It's a year since two-year-old

-Faye Burdett died of meningitis.

-Since then,

-her parents have campaigned...

-..for every child to

-have a Bexsero vaccination.

-It's given free on the NHS to babies

-but not to older children.

-One charity claims

-that if given free on the NHS...

-..it could have prevented

-400 meningitis cases last year.

-We're joined by Dr Dewi Evans,

-an expert in children's health.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What is the situation

-with the vaccination?

-It's given free on the NHS to babies

-at two months, at four months...

-..and as a booster when they're one.

-It's not available

-on the NHS for toddlers.

-Privately, you would pay between

-150 and 180 for the vaccine.

-Even older children

-can get the vaccine.

-Older people get vaccines

-for different meningitis cases.

-Meningitis B is very difficult.

-It can cause life-threatening

-blood poisoning, septicaemia.

-This can result in permanent damage

-to the brain or nerves.

-Meningitis can be very serious

-if not treated quickly.

-There is an argument for giving this

-to toddlers.

-What about the success rate

-of this vaccination?

-Meningitis B is relatively new

-as a vaccine.

-It seems successful now.

-Meningitis happens in clusters.

-You might not see it for years.

-We haven't had an epidemic

-for years.

-Until that happens,

-it's not possible to know...

-..if the vaccine works.

-As a parent, you want no risk.

-You will want to go private.

-I wouldn't judge anyone

-going privately.

-You might have known someone

-with meningitis.

-You might be going

-to a different country.

-However, we should be lobbying

-the government.

-We have to start somewhere.

-It has been successful.

-Children up to five

-should have it now.

-Older children going

-to university could also get it.

-I think that will happen.

-It can cause life-threatening

-blood poisoning, septicaemia.

-Many people carry the disease

-but don't show them.

-Symptoms of meningitis develop

-suddenly.

-Symptoms can include

-a high temperature or fever.

-Symptoms are feeling sick

-and having a headache.

-A blotchy rash can develop...

-..which doesn't fade

-when a glass is rolled over it.

-It's different

-to more common rashes.

-You can then get blood poisoning.

-Most sever cases die

-from blood poisoning.

-Early intervention is crucial.

-Contact your doctor

-if you see the rash.

-Antibiotics must be given

-immediately.

-Thank you, Dr Dewi Evans.

-On Friday's Heno, we'll be judging

-our winter photography competition.

-Here's a taste of some

-we've already received.

-Our next item will interest those

-viewers with children in the family.

-Next Wednesday, a new legislation

-will apply for children's car seats.

-Carmarthenshire Road Safety Officer,

-Nicola Olsson is here to elaborate.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Is this news a shock to parents?

-Many families will be shocked by

-this new legislation.

-It was meant to be implemented

-last December.

-The new law regarding backless

-booster seats starts on 1 March.

-The new legislation doesn't

-affect current booster seats.

-It doesn't mean that current booster

-seats are unsafe and illegal.

-You won't break the law

-if you use a backless booster seat.

-What are the current rules?

-Manufacturers will be unable to sell

-backless child car seats...

-..to children shorter than 125cm,

-or weigh less than 22kg.

-You need to provide your child's

-weight and height to buy a seat.

-A booster seat that conforms to

-the current R44 rules isn't illegal.

-The new rule has altered the weight

-of the child.

-Manufacturers will be unable to sell

-backless child car seats...

-..to children shorter than 125cm,

-or weigh less than 22kg.

-This seat is group 123.

-It's suitable from 9kg upwards.

-It can be used until your child is

-12.

-They range in price too.

-It can prove a little more

-expensive.

-When your child grows, you have

-to look at your child's weight.

-Take a photo of the harness.

-That's good advice.

-Check what age they need a harness

-and don't need it.

-12 is old for a seat like this.

-12 years old or 135cm is the rule.

-Your child must be 4ft 5inches

-to sit in a backless booster.

-What happens if they don't

-use the right seats?

-You can still use the seats

-you are using now.

-Three-year-olds go

-from seats with harnesses...

-..to seats suitable

-for older children.

-Three and a half stone is the

-required weight for a backless seat.

-Safety is very important.

-The booster raises your child

-in the seat.

-The seat belt can go

-around the shoulders.

-There's also side protection.

-Seats with back can also be a

-comfort for a child to fall asleep.

-Details are on your website.

-There's also a free examination

-service for children's car seats.

-Tumble Fire Service is in Tumble

-tomorrow between 1.00pm and 4.00pm.

-How are you?

-We need a place for everything.

-You need a place for everything.

-Get your child to choose

-It can be difficult to keep

-everything neat and tidy.

-It's all the small items that get

-everywhere.

-There are bargains to be had.

-These items are on the high street.

-You can get some bargains

-and two for ones.

-Children love branded goods.

-These storage boxes are adorned

-These are made from plastic

-and have longevity.

-It's best to stack these boxes.

-At the centre, we have items for

-primary school children.

-There are boxes to store hair

-products for girls.

-The ones with animals

-Terms such as patching and repairing

-were familiar during the war.

-That is, sewing a patch

-on an old garment.

-Today, we tend to buy a new item

-of clothing rather than repair it.

-It's also the focus of

-an exhibition in Swansea.

-And Daf paid it a visit.

-Every household in Britain throws

-away a tonne of waste every year...

-..but how much of it is recycled?

-With far more materials

-being recycled these days...

-..this has inspired a new exhibition

-at the National Waterfront Museum...

-..Waste Not! Want Not!

-Recycling has become an important

-part of our everyday lives.

-It's has always been

-an important industry in Wales.

-Scrapping ships in the Giants'

-Graveyard was essentially recycling.

-It's far more relevant to us today

-in our homes...

-..and what we do with the waste

-that we throw away.

-There are many colourful and

-interesting items in the collection.

-They come from across the world.

-My favourite pieces

-in the exhibition...

-..are these wonderful

-African and Asian lanterns.

-They are from countries which don't

-have a proper electricity supply.

-They are used with kerosene lamps,

-which are not good environmentally.

-It does show how they recycle

-these tins, one of which held tuna.

-Holes are drilled into them

-and they make very attractive items.

-They look good from a distance...

-..and close by,

-you can see where they've come from.

-Recycling is crucial

-to the future of the world.

-Nappies are not usually discussed

-in exhibitions.

-Here we can see what can be done

-with the eight million nappies...

-..which are thrown away

-every day in Britain.

-I'm totally amazed that nappies

-are made into a type of plywood.

-Nappies can take up to 500 years

-to decompose.

-If Elizabeth I was wearing them, her

-nappies would still be here today!

-Here in Wales, in Ammanford,

-we recycle nappies...

-..into a useful material

-fit for everyone, not just babies.

-Recycling possibilities are endless.

-These were once black plastic

-silage bags from near Ammanford.

-They are now chairs.

-The story of aluminium

-is very interesting.

-It starts its journey in Australia

-and having reached Britain...

-..9.6 billion drink cans

-are produced every year.

-We only manage to recycle

-50% of them.

-There's plenty of work to do

-to make sure we all play our part.

-Why is recycling important?

-Recycling rubbish avoids the need

-to dump at landfill sites.

-It saves between

-10 and 15 million tonnes...

-..of carbon emissions every year.

-It equates with taking

-3.5 million cars off the road.

-Yes, recycling possibilities

-are endless.

-This is a light-hearted part

-of the exhibition...

-..but it does show

-some great recycling.

-It's by Dominic Gubb,

-an artist from Cardiff.

-He uses old mops, chairs and sofas

-to produce these wonderful animals.

-The orang-utan is lying in some

-discarded school gym equipment.

-The dogs are made from old settees

-and there's a stretching cat.

-It brings a lighter side

-to the exhibition.

-Which one would you choose

-to take home with you?

-I think I'd go for the cat

-that's stretching.

-I think it's very clever although

-I don't particularly like cats!

-The exhibition runs until 1 May.

-Mari has joined us with

-a guide to tonight's Heno.

-Don't forget to join me at 7.00pm.

-We're live with the

-Folk Frenzy crew in Glan-llyn.

-We also enjoy a song from them.

-Miriam Isaac tells us about her new

-role as a presenter on TAG on S4C.

-Glesni Jones from Trawsfynydd

-is the British Enduro Champion.

-She also joins me tonight.

-A Cardiff flashmob will denote...

-..that only 100 days remain

-until the Champions League final.

-It took place outside

-the Old Library at midday today.

-We hear from Cor Glanaethwy

-about this.

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-..we'll be chatting with Daniel

-Thomas about his prized possessions.

-We look forward to hearing from him

-after this short break.
