Description
Professor Paul Rogers returns to lead a panel of expert commentators in our annual current affairs event, offering a 360-degree view of the most urgent issues shaping the world in 2025.
From ongoing conflict and humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, to escalating tensions in the Red Sea and South China Sea, and the global impact of Trump’s return to office, this year’s conversation couldn’t be more timely.
With instability rising and elections reshaping political landscapes worldwide, our panel brings clarity, insight and sharp analysis to the headlines — and what lies beneath them.
