The Newscast Review of the Year 2025

The biggest events of the year and what it was like on the inside as they happened.

Adam, Chris, Laura and Paddy go through the biggest stories of 2025 with the help of economics editor Faisal Islam and international editor Jeremy Bowen.

They also reveal what it was like to be on the inside as they happened, and discuss how Keir Starmer will reflect on his first full year as prime minister, how Donald Trump's tariffs reshaped the world's economy, and how a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached.

And we look at where the rise of Nigel Farage鈥檚 Reform UK and Zack Polanski鈥檚 Green Party have left politics in the UK.
