As we approach the end of the year, we are taking a look at some of the big stories and talking points of 2024. Today we turn to our Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg, who yesterday at a press conference challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin on his 25 years in power. We also discuss what this year has been like for Russia, and what we can expect from 2025.

The Malaysian government says it has agreed in principle to resume the search for a passenger jet that vanished 10 years ago in one of aviation's greatest mysteries. We speak to our correspondent to find out more.

And we bring you the latest from Syria, where an American strike has killed a leader of the Islamic State group.
