Looking Ahead to 2022

Lyse Doucet asks some of the ±«Óãtv's top journalists to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2022 might have in store. Which people and places should we be watching?

Lyse Doucet asks some of the ±«Óãtv's top journalists to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2022 might have in store. This time last year we were boldly asking what a post-Covid world might look like. Little did we know that 12 months later, world leaders would be trying to deal with the chaos caused by a highly transmissable variant.

Is 2022 the year the whole world gets vaccinated? How will the midterm elections play out in the United States? Can Boris Johnson restore his reputation after a torrid 2021? What impact will Germany's new chancellor Olaf Scholz have? And what fate awaits the people of Afghanistan?

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