-Christmas decorations.

-These ladies have given us to get

-our lives in order.

-I'm joined by Buddug Eidda.

-You're meeting tonight.

-Yes, that's right.

-What can you tell us about

-the 2017 diary?

-How did it all come about?

-We were funded to help farmers...

-..to help their way of life.

-We thought about all sorts

-of things...

-..but realized that a diary

-was the best way...

-..to help others with their lives.

-Paperwork is a busy part

-of farming these days.

-We have to get everything in order.

-We wanted to help farmers

-and hope the diary is helpful.

-I'm not from a farming background.

-What is in the diary?

-We had some tips from people

-from last year's diary.

-There's an area from

-when the cows are ready to calf.

-It's been a lesson for myself!

-I've enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

-The diary also has sayings too.

-Yes, we wanted something new

-this time.

-There are some sayings

-about the weather.

-We hope to have something different

-for next year's diary.

-Manon Watkin Jones is with me.

-We're grateful for all the support.

-This is a new company.

-Contact us if you'd like to

-advertise in the diary.

-What response have you had outside

-North Wales?

-We've had a great response.

-We'd like to hear more from

-the people in South Wales.

-It's great to be in this gang.

-I think it looks wonderful.

-Congratulations on

-all the hard work.

-I'll be back to hear about the

-2018 diary.

-Thank you, Elin.

-Sioned Hughes is the chief executive

-of Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

-She's been in the role for a year.

-What's the year been like for you?

-I started on 4 January 2016.

-I can't believe

-that it's been a year.

-I've learnt so much...

-..and experienced so much

-in the last twelve months.

-Do young people still have time

-for the Urdd?

-People have busy lives...

-..but the Urdd

-does a lot for young people.

-We run sports clubs

-and various clubs.

-I also got to experience

-the Urdd Eisteddfod...

-..from a working role.

-We had so many people

-The Urdd camps are also very busy

-all year round.

-I'd like to see more people

-in the Urdd.

-I'd like to have about

-100,000 members...

-..by the time the Urdd

-marks its centenary.

-I think we'll get close

-to that target.

-It's something that

-we can aim at achieving.

-I've interviewed people

-with the Urdd.

-They know about the world.

-Yes, and we have a new board...

-..that was established

-four years ago.

-It's important for us

-to give young people a voice.

-We do a lot of work with them.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Last night, Rhodri looked ahead to

-some highlights and events of 2017.

-It's set to be a busy year.

-Tonight, Huw Edwards

-and Guto Harri...

-..are among the familiar faces

-to share their opinions.

-Our first milestone marks 75 years

-since some events of World War II.

-Many of the most fateful battles

-of WWII took place in 1942.

-Singapore fell,

-but we won El Alamein.

-The Russians won at Stalingrad

-despite huge suffering.

-The Americans won

-the Battle of Midway.

-The tide had turned and the

-victories continued from then on.

-Also this year, Canada celebrates

-its 150th birthday.

-It's an excuse for us in Wales

-to remember such explorers...

-..as David Thompson and Sir Thomas

-Button from the Vale of Glamorgan.

-He was one of the first people

-to explore and map the country.

-It's also 150 years since we heard

-a certain legendary piece of music.

-That was The Blue Danube

-by Johann Strauss II.

-And speaking of legendary...

-If we go back 50 years ago to 1967,

-I don't need any history books.

-I remember hearing songs

-by The Beatles everywhere.

-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely

-Hearts Club Band.

-I remember the LP that I had

-and it was fantastic.

-There was also the Summer of Love.

-In Wales, there was something that I

-never thought of as a young woman.

-Merched Y Wawr was established.

-A branch in Bala insisted

-that everything was in Welsh.

-Now I'm the Chair

-of our local branch!

-1967 was a very important year

-for the Welsh language

-The Welsh Language Act...

-..was the first step in giving the

-Welsh language an official status.

-It also annulled the status of Wales

-as a part of England.

-This year is an important milestone

-for us.

-Twenty years ago, the Welsh

-devolution referendum was held.

-I don't want to give away my age,

-but it was the first time I voted.

-As far as devolution is concerned,

-one thing to look out for in 2017...

-..is the development

-of the Welsh Bill.

-This month, AMs will vote on whether

-to accept or reject the Bill.

-There are important decisions to

-be made here once again this year.

-This time last year,

-I stood here and suggested...

-..that Donald Trump could be on

-his way to the White House in 2017.

-President Elect of the USA,

-Donald Trump.

-Obviously, I didn't expect Trump

-to be on his way to the White House.

-We believe in taking the argument

-to the people.

-But having said that,

-I didn't expect Brexit either.

-Those two words, Trump and Brexit,

-will be key over the coming months.

-No-one would have predicted

-Donald Trump in the White House.

-This time last year,

-the very idea was almost laughable.

-It's impossible to predict

-what Trump will do.

-I hope he will give the economy

-a boost, be more cautious...

-..and a bit more sensible

-than how he comes across.

-I also think he could be

-a complete disaster.

-I love this country.

-Are you for Brexit?

-As far as the negotiations

-about Brexit are concerned...

-..I don't think people realise how

-complicated the process will be...

-..and that it will last

-for four or five years.

-If you think it will be over in two

-years, you're living in a fantasy.

-I'm not just being spiteful

-but it's not going to be simple.

-Here in Wales,

-there's even a sharper focus.

-If powers return to Westminster

-from Brussels...

-..it's not clear how many

-will be passed on to Cardiff.

-The problem with this process

-is a lack of clarity.

-Brexit has even divided families.

-Some families have fallen out

-because of Brexit.

-Trump has said terrible things

-about women, Muslims and Mexicans.

-We need to build bridges, not walls.

-I really hope that people

-will remember that...

-..for this year to be a better one.

-There's plenty to look forward to

-over the coming year.

-Plygain services are among the most

-popular events at this time of year.

-Here are details of some

-that have reached us.

-Don't forget about the Plygain

-in Dinas Mawddwy.

-It takes place at Ebenezer Chapel

-this Friday.

-The Rev Roland Barnes

-will open proceedings...

-..and there's a warm welcome to all.

-Darowen Plygain takes place

-on Monday, 9 January at 7.00pm...

-..at St Tudur's Church in Darowen.

-There's a warm welcome to everyone.

-On Sunday, 15 January, a Plygain

-at Ainon Chapel in Llanuwchllyn.

-There's a minibus from the village

-hall and everyone is welcome.

-A Plygain takes place at St

-Gwyndaf's Church in Llanwnda...

-..at 7.00pm on Sunday, 15 January.

-There's a warm welcome to everyone

-and a cup of tea to follow.

-Come and enjoy.

-Contact us with your messages,

-events and stories in your area.

-You can get in touch via email,

-Facebook, Twitter...

-We always enjoy hearing from you.

-The TV producer and director,

-Cleif Harpwood has joined us.

-Elsi also joins us and she stars

-in a new series on S4C tonight.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Cleif has been working on a new

-series that starts on S4C tonight.

-Llys Nini airs after tonight's Heno.

-Tell us more about it.

-Llys Nini is a six-part series...

-..about the life and work

-of Wales's busiest animal centre.

-Llys Nini is based in Penllergaer

-near Swansea.

-The farm is steeped in history.

-It has 80 acres

-that houses the centre.

-Let's see a clip of Llys Nini.

-That was a taster of what

-we can expect on Llys Nini.

-Those images were quite happy...

-..but you tell

-some heartbreaking stories.

-The Welsh and Brits

-consider ourselves...

-..to be animal lovers...

-..but that isn't always the case.

-Yes, the series shows that some

-animals have a happy ending...

-..but there are stories

-that are not so happy.

-Llys Nini takes animals

-from South, Central and West Wales.

-The animals are often

-in a very sorry state...

-..following years

-of neglect or abuse.

-Elsi wasn't abused

-but she was neglected.

-She was kept with a lot

-of other dogs...

-..in a very unsuitable condition.

-She was brought to Llys Nini

-and was cared for and rehomed.

-We fostered her at first

-but have adopted her now.

-The series is presented

-by Elin Fflur and Steffan Alun.

-Steffan's grandfather

-farmed the land...

-..and his wife works at the centre.

-Llys Nini is just one of the

-many centres across Wales...

-..and there are many others

-that do some incredible work.

-Llys Nini is just

-one of those places.

-Sioned Hughes

-has also joined me tonight.

-Sioned is the chief executive

-of Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

-She's been in the role for a year.

-What are your hopes

-for the coming year?

-I'm looking forward to

-this year's Urdd Eisteddfod.

-We have a scheme to encourage

-more to join the Urdd...

-..and have a national scheme

-about rugby.

-We want people to tell us about

-their stories about the Urdd.

-Tell us your stories.

-That's it from us tonight.

-Don't forget about Prynhawn Da

-tomorrow at 2.00pm.

-On Heno tomorrow, musical diva,

-Shan Cothi joins us in the studio.

-We hear the story of Angylion Arwel

-or Arwel's Angels from Tregaron.

-Carys Tudor has tips on pulling

-down your Christmas decorations.

-You can also win a television or

-iPad in our New Year competition.

-Until tomorrow, it's goodnight

-from me, Sioned, Cleif and Elsi.
