English: The state of our environment is the most pressing issue of our time. A United Nations report has found that climate change, pollution and changes in water and land management have combined to ensure that we are fast approaching irreversible collapse for biodiversity. And this would mean the irreversible collapse of food production too. The global grassroots organisation Slow Food said that 'Time is running out, we must turn things around within the next 10 years or risk a total and irreversible collapse.' It's timely, therefore, that Democrat representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and fellow party members have unveiled a green new deal that would usher in huge reforms to dramatically reduce United States carbon emissions while adding millions of jobs and investing in infrastructure projects. Cortez and her colleagues have correctly identified that the time for tinkering has passed, we need fundamental change if we are to save this planet for future generations. Will this Government recognise the climate emergency that we face and introduce a radical plan to address this issue? We need a fundamental rethink of our economy. Is the Government prepared to act on that? I'd like to raise the matter of the support that veterans receive when they return to civilian life. This is a matter I've raised before and there has previously been some exemplary campaigning work undertaken by my Plaid Cymru colleagues in Westminster on this. A constituent contacted me recently to share with me his experiences of accessing mental health services after leaving the army. Whilst in service, this man completed two tours of Iraq and three tours of Afghanistan. He subsequently suffered from depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and extreme anxiety, as well as drink and drug problems. I'm pleased to say that he has come out on the other side, but he says that that was not as a result of the overstretched mental health services that he tried to access. In his own powerful words, he said, 'I feel the army and the Government completely leave veterans to crash and burn, especially in our area, once service has been terminated. I'm proof of this. The aftercare is pretty poor and therapy for me used to consist of questionnaires that would ask, " On a scale of one to 10, how are you feeling today? " .' When are we likely to see real change on the ground for Welsh veterans and are you confident that the 10-year strategy for our veterans, unveiled last year, will deliver for people like the man from the Rhondda who contacted me? I want the Government to reconsider the threshold for free school meals. This is something that I've called for before and I will keep calling for it until we have parity with the north of Ireland, which has a threshold twice that of Wales's £7,000. Many of my constituents in the Rhondda are in work, yet they remain in poverty. They fall just outside the threshold for free school meals and they are the type of people who the children's commissioner, Sally Holland, identified in her report released this week. She said that children's basic needs in families like these aren't being met, with families struggling to afford school uniform, equipment and sanitary products. She also said that we need this Welsh Government to, and I quote, 'show real ambition and leadership in helping the thousands of families across Wales who are really struggling.' Do you believe that that much needed ambition and leadership are forthcoming and can we please have a debate about the children's commissioner's findings in Government time as soon as possible?
Welsh: Cyflwr ein hamgylchedd yw mater mwyaf enbyd ein cyfnod ni. Mae adroddiad gan y Cenhedloedd Unedig wedi canfod bod newid hinsawdd, llygredd a newidiadau o ran rheoli dŵr a thir wedi uno i sicrhau ein bod yn prysur agosáu at chwalfa na ellir ei ddadwneud o ran bioamrywiaeth. A bydd hyn yn golygu chwalfa na ellir ei ddadwneud o ran cynhyrchu bwyd hefyd. Mae'r sefydliad llawr gwlad byd-eang Slow Food yn dweud bod Amser yn prinhau, mae'n rhaid inni newid pethau o fewn y 10 mlynedd nesaf neu beryglu chwalfa na ellir ei ddadwneud. Mae'n amserol, felly, fod cynrychiolydd o blaid y Democratiaid Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a chyd-aelodau wedi dadorchuddio bargen werdd newydd a fyddai'n cyflwyno diwygiadau enfawr i leihau allyriadau carbon gan yr Unol Daleithiau wrth ychwanegu miliynau o swyddi a buddsoddi mewn prosiectau seilwaith. Mae Cortez a'i chydweithwyr wedi nodi'n gywir bod amser y chwarae bach wedi dod i ben, ac mae angen newid sylfaenol arnom ni os ydym am achub y blaned er mwyn cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. A wnaiff y Llywodraeth hon gydnabod yr argyfwng hinsawdd sy'n ein hwynebu a chyflwyno cynllun radical i fynd i'r afael â'r mater hwn? Mae angen inni ailfeddwl o ran ein heconomi. A yw'r Llywodraeth yn barod i weithredu ar hynny? Hoffwn godi mater y cymorth a gaiff cyn-filwyr pan fyddan nhw'n dychwelyd i fywyd sifil. Mae hwn yn fater yr wyf i wedi ei godi o'r blaen ac mae rhywfaint o waith ymgyrchu rhagorol wedi ei wneud gan fy nghydweithwyr ym Mhlaid Cymru yn San Steffan yn hyn o beth. Cysylltodd etholwr â mi yn ddiweddar i rannu ei brofiadau o geisio gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl wedi iddo adael y fyddin. Tra'r oedd yn y lluoedd arfog, bwriodd y dyn hwn ddau dymor dyletswydd yn Irac a thri thymor dyletswydd yn Affganistan. Dioddefodd iselder ac anhwylder straen wedi trawma a phryder eithafol wedyn, yn ogystal â phroblemau alcohol a chyffuriau. Rwy'n falch o ddweud ei fod wedi dod allan yr ochr arall, ond dywed nad oedd hynny o ganlyniad i'r gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl sy'n cael eu hymestyn yn ormodol. Yn ei eiriau grymus ei hun, dywedodd,"Rwy'n teimlo bod y fyddin a'r Llywodraeth yn gadael i gyn-filwyr fynd yn llwyr ar ddifancoll, yn enwedig yn ein hardal ni, pan ddaw'r gwasanaeth yn y llu arfog i ben. Rwyf i'n brawf o hynny. Mae'r ôl-ofal yn wael iawn a'r unig therapi a gefais i oedd ateb holiaduron a fyddai'n gofyn, " Ar raddfa o un i 10, sut ydych chi'n teimlo heddiw? " . Pryd fyddwn ni'n debygol o weld newid gwirioneddol ar lawr gwlad ar gyfer cyn-filwyr Cymru, ac a ydych chi'n hyderus y bydd y strategaeth 10 mlynedd ar gyfer ein cyn-filwyr, a ddadorchuddiwyd y llynedd, yn darparu ar gyfer pobl fel y dyn o'r Rhondda a gysylltodd â mi? Rwy'n awyddus i'r Llywodraeth ailystyried y trothwy ar gyfer prydau ysgol am ddim. Mae hyn yn rhywbeth yr wyf i wedi galw amdano cyn hyn a byddaf yn dal ati i alw amdano hyd nes y cawn gydraddoldeb â Gogledd Iwerddon, sydd â throthwy ddwywaith maint un Cymru, sef £7,000. Mae llawer o'm hetholwyr i yn y Rhondda yn gweithio, ac eto maen nhw'n parhau i fyw mewn tlodi. Maen nhw'n cwympo ychydig y tu allan i'r trothwy am brydau ysgol am ddim, a nhw yw'r math o bobl a nodwyd gan y Comisiynydd Plant, Sally Holland, yn ei hadroddiad a gyhoeddwyd yr wythnos hon. Dywedodd hi nad yw anghenion sylfaenol plant mewn teuluoedd fel hyn yn cael eu diwallu, gyda theuluoedd yn ei chael hi'n anodd fforddio gwisg ysgol, offer a nwyddau glanweithiol. Dywedodd hefyd fod angen i Lywodraeth Cymru, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, ddangos uchelgais ac arweinyddiaeth gwirioneddol er mwyn helpu miloedd o deuluoedd ledled Cymru sy'n cael trafferthion gwirioneddol. A ydych chi'n credu bod yr uchelgais a'r arweinyddiaeth angenrheidiol yn yr arfaeth, ac a gawn ni ddadl ynglŷn â chanfyddiadau'r Comisiynydd Plant yn amser y Llywodraeth cyn gynted â phosib os gwelwch yn dda?
