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.

As the year draws to a close, correspondents muse on the upcoming global events of 2021

As the year draws to a close, correspondents muse on the upcoming global events of 2021, including Joe Biden's inauguration and the Covid vaccine rollout.

There were times in 2020 when the world felt like an out of control carousel and we could all have been forgiven for just wanting to get off and to wait for normality to return.

But will 2021 be any less dramatic? Joe Biden will be inaugurated in January but will Donald Trump have left the White House by then? And vaccines are promised to help tackle the Covid19 pandemic but how successful will they be and how do global leaders go about trying to repair the economic damage the virus has caused? 
So many big questions but luckily we have some big hitters to provide plenty of answers.
