[ucrdem]

Who and what will be making the global headlines in 2016? Owen Bennett-Jones and leading BBC correspondents discuss and give their predictions about what will shape the world in the year ahead and assess its likely impact on the United Kingdom.

Owen is joined by Chief International Correspondent Lyse Douce, who has spent the year reporting from across the globe; North America Editor Jon Sopel looks ahead to next year's US Presidential election. Who does he think will win the race for the White House? Joining them are the BBC's most experienced diplomatic correspondents, James Robbins and Bridget Kendall. Last year she predicted that 2015 would be a year of shocking terrorist activities in Europe and a big year for the Pope. What will she and the other correspondents predict for 2016?

They differed about the GOP nominee (3 Rubio, one Cruz) but all four predicted Hillary would take the nomination and the WH in 2016. One predicted that Trump will run 3rd party and split the GOP vote, thus delivering Florida for example to Hillary.

They also predicted that the next UN Secretary General will be a woman.
