Jonny Dymond asks some of the BBC's top journalists to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2023 might have in store. This time last year Russian troops were massing on the Ukrainian border but little did we know how quickly war would begin and how bravely the people of Ukraine would defend their country.

But how will the war play out in 2023? Can either side allow it to endlessly drag on?

Will 2023 be a more settled year in UK politics? With the ongoing cost of living crisis and little sign of a resolution to strike action, how will the government deal with those challenges next year? We'll also explore the political challenges facing leaders in China, Iran and Afghanistan.

So many big questions, but luckily we have some of the BBC's best minds on hand to provide plenty of answers.
