Show Notes
With the help of Nuala McGovern, we ask some of the BBC's best correspondents from around the world to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2024 might have in store. Next year will see nearly half of the world's population going to the polls - 40 elections are scheduled to take place 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 the conflicts that have dominated 2023? Big questions, but luckily, we have some of the BBC's best minds on hand to provide plenty of answers.
