-We start by looking back at the

-stories hitting the headlines...

-..with Karl Davies.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Today, the date of 8 June

-is grabbing all the headlines.

-It's come as quite a shock

-to a number of people.

-Nobody expected this!

-I've worked in the world

-of politics.

-It takes months to organize

-a General Election.

-There's so many things

-that need publishing.

-There's going to be a lot

-of sleepless nights.

-All the broadcasters

-are in the same boat.

-People will need to book places

-for people can go voting.

-It'll be a short campaign.

-A lot of people

-are in states of panic.

-We'll chat more

-about this in coming weeks.

-We remain with politics as we move

-to a story in The Guardian...

-..about the Turkish Referendum.

-The Turkish President

-Recep Tayyip Erdogan...

-..won the Turkish Referendum

-that was held on Sunday.

-Erdogan is set to claim a number

-of new powers.

-It's thought

-he can make decisions...

-..without going through parliament.

-There is a lot of divisions

-in the city of Istanbul.

-Parts of it

-is a cosmopolitan city...

-..whilst other parts

-are still traditionally Muslim.

-There are obligations to

-the European Union.

-Erdogan wants to bring back

-capital punishment.

-This will not help in their campaign

-to the European Union.

-Edrogan says that the French and

-Germans don't bother him...

-..and it's all about the Turks.

-I was in a wedding in Turkey.

-You could tell there was a division

-in the city.

-Our next article is from The Times.

-The article talks about being

-stranded on an island.

-It's all about a tortoise.

-The island is 4,500 miles

-from Rio de Janeiro.

-The British Government has spent

-about 300 million...

-..on an airport on the island.

-There has only been

-one commercial flight...

-..to the island.

-The island has a population

-of about 4,500.

-Napoleon also lived on the island.

-There's also the tortoise.

-It's the oldest tortoise

-in the world.

-It takes five days to sail to the

-island from Cape Town.

-We remain with The Times

-for the next story.

-The Times has an interesting story

-about a giant worm.

-"Life's a gas for the lazy giant

-shipworm" says The Times.

-This worm grows to the size

-of a small child.

-It eats dead things from the sea.

-The microbes in the dead things

-in the sea...

-..help the worm to feed him.

-It's thought to be the laziest

-animal in the world.

-Let's turn to another story

-in the Western Mail.

-We've got a sporting story to finish

-that centres around football.

-I know nothing about football.

-The Champions League Trophy

-is going on a tour of Wales.

-The Champions League

-is going to be held in Cardiff.

-Fans will all descend on Cardiff.

-All the hotels have been booked.

-I think we'll all avoid the M4!

-After the break, we chat about

-the fact we're living longer...

-..with psychiatrist for the elderly,

-Dr Betsan Rosser.

-And join us in Caerphilly,

-a great place for a day out.

-Welcome back.

-The latest statistics show

-that people are living for longer.

-It's a reason for celebration...

-..but also a cause for concern as

-living longer brings many problems.

-Dr Betsan Rosser is a psychiatrist

-who works with the elderly...

-..and is here to chat

-about the subject.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-This is good news.

-It's great news.

-It's a sign of our success

-as a society...

-..and the success of the NHS.

-We have to look at the successes

-that we've had...

-..and treat the NHS with respect.

-Some 48 million people in America

-don't have any form of care...

-..but we're very lucky

-to have our NHS in this country.

-Is more support needed?

-Care has changed a lot

-during my career.

-A number of people receive care

-in their own homes.

-Some 80% of people in the homes

-for the elderly...

-..suffer from dementia.

-We've got more facilities

-for all this.

-There's a lot of pressure

-on people...

-..to support those who are living

-longer.

-Society has changed.

-A few years ago, people would have

-lived near each other.

-It still exists in some areas

-of Wales.

-I'm talking about rural areas

-towards the north and the Valleys.

-In towns and cities...

-..a number of people don't have

-family members living nearby.

-We're all living longer.

-We need to look after ourselves too.

-I've worked in cases of dementia.

-A third of people of 90

-suffer from dementia.

-This means that there's two thirds

-who are relatively healthy.

-A lot of young people can enjoy

-their lives with grandparents.

-It's great for young people.

-They can spend time with those

-from older generations.

-A lot of grandparents care

-for their grandchildren.

-What advice would you give?

-As people get older,

-they should look after themselves.

-You need to keep your body

-and mind active.

-It can help as you age.

-It's difficult when some people

-have to stop driving.

-It's important to keep active

-and busy.

-We apologize for the loss in our

-pictures.

-Next, we take a trip to Caerphilly.

-This market town

-has a huge castle...

-..and was once at the heart

-of Welsh history.

-Yvonne learned about the town

-and saw what it is on offer today.

-The castle sits at the heart

-of Caerphilly.

-What can you tell us

-about the castle?

-The Romans came in the first century

-after Christ and then the Normans.

-It had strategic significance as

-you can see in three directions...

-..so the Romans and Normans

-could spot any attacks.

-The castle was started in 1268

-and completed in 1271.

-It's the second biggest in Europe...

-..and has concentric defences

-with its wall, a moat and a wall.

-# Gwlad, Gwlad #

-Pontypridd is often associated

-with the National Anthem...

-..but I believe its roots lie here.

-Evan James was born in a cottage

-in the shadows of this building.

-He is closely associated

-with this area.

-He lived at Ffos-yr-Hebog at

-Gelli-gaer and the mill at Bargoed.

-By the end of the World War I, local

-miners wanted a hospital nearby...

-..so they raised the funds

-that were needed.

-The hospital was opened in 1923.

-Since October 2015,

-it's been a community centre.

-We follow the example

-set by the miners.

-This centre is here

-to improve the quality of life.

-There's a library, a cinema club...

-..and a centre

-where classes are held...

-..such as art, yoga

-and line dancing.

-A choir rehearses here, Coleg Gwent

-runs Welsh lessons here...

-..and there's a cafe that's open

-to the public four mornings a week.

-The Visitor Centre sells gifts

-from Wales and local delicacies.

-It was the ideal place to meet Ben

-for a spot of lunch.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-Thank you.

-We come to the centre to learn Welsh

-and have fun.

-I enjoy coming here

-to drink coffee and tea and toast...

-..and enjoy a bit of everything!

-I couldn't come to Caerphilly

-without buying its famous cheese.

-Here's some Caerphilly cheese.

-Here's some Caerphilly cheese.

-

-Thank you, Martin.

-Caerphilly was also the birthplace

-of entertainer, Tommy Cooper.

-Just like that!

-Llyfrau'r Enfys sells Welsh books

-and produce.

-It's had a stall at the indoor

-market for some time.

-A lot of Welsh speakers come here.

-Non-Welsh speaking parents come here

-to buy bilingual books and get help.

-The town was screaming out for this

-There are many independent shops

-a stone's throw from each other.

-One sells gifts and homeware

-and another sells and repairs bikes.

-There's a barber, a menswear shop

-and a whole lot more.

-This is the oldest shop in the town,

-it has been here for 65 years.

-Mr and Mrs Jones opened it

-when the town was bustling.

-This was where I had my first job

-after leaving school aged 16.

-You had regular customers, a fish

-counter and everything was fresh.

-You should shop locally

-as they appreciate the custom.

-Our journey ends in the courthouse

-that is now a pub!

-The building dates back

-to the 14th century.

-They settled disputes about rent

-so it should be called a courthouse.

-My cousin

-was one of the first women...

-..who remembers it changing

-from a GP surgery to a pub.

-They made Caerphilly cheese by hand

-and sent them around the world.

-It's an interesting site for the

-pub and restaurant.

-It's one place to quench a thirst

-so thank you for today and cheers!

-Cheers!

-Hannah Roberts,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-How many Eisteddfod Chairs

-have you won in total?

-I have 18 chairs.

-I can't sit in any of them!

-The first was from Bancffosfelen.

-I have a glass Chair

-from Bancffosfelen.

-I've also won in Crymych.

-Tell us about this Chair.

-The Reverend Harold Appleyard served

-at Christchurch in Ontario, Canada.

-Many of the parishioners were killed

-during the 1942 war.

-Reverend Harold Appleyard was called

-up as a Military Chaplain...

-..for the army in Sussex.

-I read about him

-in the Readers Digest.

-We fought with Canada.

-The Germans

-had changed their tactics.

-They stopped targeting railways

-and targeted historical buildings.

-A number of churches lost

-their stained glass windows.

-Appleyard did fire duty.

-He was walking back one evening

-and heard the sound of glass...

-..under his feet.

-It was from a stained glass window.

-He picked some of them up.

-He had a dream of creating

-a memorial window in Canada.

-Harold started collecting shards of

-the glass from the bombed churches.

-He dreamed of recreating

-a memorial window in Canada...

-..for the parishioners.

-He had various shards

-with different images.

-The church near the barracks

-was also hit.

-The whole windows were blown out.

-He went and asked people

-to help improve the windows.

-He collected shards of glass

-from 125 churches.

-Some of this glass was sent

-from Welsh churches.

-In the Newcastle Emlyn Eisteddfod

-of 2015...

-..the Chair topic was Ffenest

-or window.

-I wrote a poem about Harold's story

-and won the Chair.

-This was a wonderful background

-to my poem.

-He collected the different shards

-from different locations.

-He even got some from France.

-One shard had a poppy on it.

-You can see it on the window.

-It's only during the last month...

-..that I have seen photographs

-of the window online.

-They were asking for people to leave

-their comments about the window.

-I told them that I had written

-the poem and received a reply.

-They wanted me to send a photograph

-of the Chair...

-..and to translate

-the poem for them.

-The long Easter weekend was

-a bit cold but dry on the whole.

-Did you take advantage of the fine

-weather and take some photographs?

-You can enter

-our spring photography competition.

-Nature springs to life...

-..the flowers are in bloom,

-leaves fill the trees...

-..and the lambing season

-is in full swing!

-It's the school holidays...

-..so Lowri Steffan has tips

-on decorating children's bedrooms.

-Welcome to the programme, Lowri.

-I have a few ideas.

-Children like to have their own

-input on their bedrooms.

-We start with the girls.

-Our first item is the spotty chair.

-Children like to have small chairs

-to sit in to read.

-It's 29.99 from Dunelm.

-These are available

-in different designs.

-They are all well-suited

-to children's bedrooms.

-This would work well.

-We have extra accessories.

-Next, we have the cloud lampshade,

-which is 9.99 from Dunelm.

-This is wonderful.

-You could use this

-in a boy or girl's room.

-If you painted the ceiling

-a different colour...

-..this would look great.

-We move on to these boxes

-that cost 4.99 from TK Maxx.

-Girls like to have trinket boxes.

-They will last for years.

-They look grown-up.

-The bedding is important.

-There is a wide variety of

-available.

-You don't have to match everything.

-We have curtains

-that are 14 from Asda.

-There's a floral pattern

-on the curtains.

-You could match the curtains

-with a different print.

-We move on to the duvet set,

-which is 19.99 from Dunelm.

-It looks fresh.

-Children love throws.

-These are reasonably priced.

-The throws are 3 from ASDA.

-You can wash them a few times.

-For that price, you can't go wrong!

-You might not want to go for an

-overly girly look.

-It's 12 for the red curtains

-which is very reasonable.

-The red solid colour looks great.

-You could use these

-for a boy's or girl's room.

-You might have to consider

-using a blind...

-..if the curtains are too thin.

-We've got two duvet sets

-that cost 14 from ASDA.

-You get two single duvet sets

-in this.

-These might appeal

-to the older children.

-They wash well.

-Supermarkets are used to having

-materials which wash well...

-..for the children.

-Next, we have a toy box.

-It has a wonderful pattern inside.

-You could also use

-it as a laundry basket.

-It's 9.99 from TK Maxx.

-I would be happy to place that

-in any room.

-Next, we move on to the boys' room.

-This caught my eye in Dunelm

-and it costs 12.

-Girls also like to play football.

-The lamp uses batteries.

-You won't have to worry about using

-electricity.

-Our final item is a monster cushion.

-It's 9.99 from Dunelm.

-I love the cushions.

-Thank you, Lowri.

-After the break, Fflur Arwel

-Why We Should All be Feminists...

-I consider myself a feminist

-and a intersectional feminist.

-to Welsh society and the world.

-I keep it on the shelf at home.

-I would love to write in the future.
