Y Byd ar Bedwar

Y Byd ar Bedwar is a Welsh-language current affairs television programme, which has broadcast on S4C since the channel was launched in 1982. Produced by ITV Wales, the programme has a reputation for hard-hitting, investigative journalism of the highest standard. Literally translating as 'The World on Four', the programme's reporters have brought stories from the four corners of the world to Welsh screens. In the 1980s, long-serving reporter Tweli Griffiths secured the first interview with Libyan dictator Colonel Gaddaffi. Reports also covered the fall of the Berlin wall, the Chernobyl disaster and the Gulf wars. The programme is also famed for securing high-profile exclusive interviews in Wales, such as with Sion Aubrey Roberts, the only person to be jailed over the Meibion Glyndwr arson campaign and Ryan James, a vet from Ammanford who had been wrongly jailed after being accused of murdering his wife. More recently, several undercover investigations into west Wales puppy farms have led to several pressure groups to call for a change in legislation by the Welsh Government to protect animals. Senior producer Eifion Glyn travelled undercover to Zimbabwe in 2008 to show the horrors of life there under Robert Mugabe's rule and also to Afghanistan for the second time in 2013 to produce a series of programmes documenting the lives of the Welsh troops fighting the Taliban.
