Looking Ahead to 2021

After a year dominated by a global pandemic and the US election, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ correspondents gaze into their crystal balls to predict what 2021 might have in store.

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? Vaccines are promised to help tackle the Covid-19 pandemic but how successful will they be and how do global leaders go about trying to repair the economic damage the virus has caused? And then there's the not insignificant matter of what happens in the latest Brexit chapter, the ending of the transition period. What impact will that have on both the UK and the EU?

So many big questions but luckily we have some big hitters to provide plenty of answers.
