2022

Available for over a year

It's been a momentous year, with news that we had hoped to never hear again: war in Europe, double-digit inflation, a crash of the pound. There's been unprecedented political turmoil with three Prime Ministers: Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak. And an era has come to an end: after celebrating a unique 70 years on the throne, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96, and was succeeded by her son, King Charles III. There's been joy, too. England's Lionesses won the European football championships, putting an end to decades of wait and heartache. And while the men didn't "bring it home", both the England and Wales teams delighted their fans during the World Cup in Qatar. Adam Fleming is joined by four senior BBC journalists to look back over an extraordinary year of news: Political Editor Chris Mason, Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet, Technology Editor Zoe Kleinman and Newsnight's Economics Editor Ben Chu.
