BBC Correspondents' Look Ahead

BBC journalists gaze into their crystal balls to predict what 2024 might have in store.

Nuala McGovern and some of the BBC's best correspondents gaze into their crystal balls to predict what 2024 might have in store.

Nuala McGovern asks some of the BBC's top correspondents from around the world to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2024 might have in store.

2023 has been dominated by the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza and a global cost of living crisis. Next year will see nearly half of the world’s population going to the polls.

Forty elections are scheduled to take place next year, in countries including the USA, UK, South Africa, India, Russia and Pakistan. How will the results of some of those elections shift the geopolitical tectonic plates? And will we see any resolution to those conflicts.

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

BBC World Service - BBC Correspondents' Look Ahead to 2024, BBC Correspondents Look Ahead to 2015

BBC journalists predict the people, forces and ideas that will shape the coming year.

Mark Mardell and the BBC’s top international news correspondents - Lyse Doucet, Carrie Gracie, Kamal Ahmed and Bridget Kendall - look ahead to the major developments in 2015.

Mark Mardell chairs a live discussion with four of the BBC's top international news correspondents as they give their predictions on what is likely to shape our world in 2015.

Mark is joined by Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet; China Editor, Carrie Gracie; Business Editor, Kamal Ahmed; and Diplomatic Correspondent, Bridget Kendall. They explore where our attention is most likely to be focused in 2015.

Topics include the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and, in particular, the economic outlook for both countries. Mark also asks whether the advance in Iraq and Syria of the group that calls itself the Islamic State will be halted and how Iran’s involvement might affect the current nuclear negotiations with Tehran and the Middle East more broadly.
