0:13:01 > 0:13:05- And speaking of legendary...
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- If we go back 50 years ago to 1967, - I don't need any history books.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- I remember hearing songs - by The Beatles everywhere.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely - Hearts Club Band.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- I remember the LP that I had - and it was fantastic.

0:13:35 > 0:13:39- A branch in Bala insisted - that everything was in Welsh.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Now I'm the Chair - of our local branch!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- 1967 was a very important year - for the Welsh language
0:13:47 > 0:13:53- The Welsh Language Act...
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- ..was the first step in giving the - Welsh language an official status.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- It also annulled the status of Wales - as a part of England.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- This year is an important milestone - for us.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13- Twenty years ago, the Welsh - devolution referendum was held.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I don't want to give away my age, - but it was the first time I voted.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- As far as devolution is concerned, - one thing to look out for in 2017...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- ..is the development - of the Welsh Bill.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30- This month, AMs will vote on whether - to accept or reject the Bill.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- There are important decisions to - be made here once again this year.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- This time last year, - I stood here and suggested...
0:14:39 > 0:14:45- ..that Donald Trump could be on - his way to the White House in 2017.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51- President Elect of the USA, - Donald Trump.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- Obviously, I didn't expect Trump - to be on his way to the White House.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- We believe in taking the argument - to the people.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- But having said that, - I didn't expect Brexit either.
0:15:02 > 0:15:12- Those two words, Trump and Brexit, - will be key over the coming months.
0:15:12 > 0:15:18- No-one would have predicted - Donald Trump in the White House.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- This time last year, - the very idea was almost laughable.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- It's impossible to predict - what Trump will do.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- I hope he will give the economy - a boost, be more cautious...
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- ..and a bit more sensible - than how he comes across.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- I also think he could be - a complete disaster.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- I love this country.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Are you for Brexit?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- As far as the negotiations - about Brexit are concerned...
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- ..I don't think people realise how - complicated the process will be...
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- ..and that it will last - for four or five years.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- If you think it will be over in two - years, you're living in a fantasy.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- I'm not just being spiteful - but it's not going to be simple.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Here in Wales, - there's even a sharper focus.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- If powers return to Westminster - from Brussels...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- ..it's not clear how many - will be passed on to Cardiff.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- The problem with this process - is a lack of clarity.
0:16:19 > 0:16:25- Brexit has even divided families.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Some families have fallen out - because of Brexit.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- Trump has said terrible things - about women, Muslims and Mexicans.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- We need to build bridges, not walls.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- I really hope that people - will remember that...
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- ..for this year to be a better one.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- There's plenty to look forward to - over the coming year.
