Start Your Year: What’s coming in 2021 with Arthur Snell

Joe Biden’s in-tray is packed but will the 46th President’s energies be consumed by repairing the damage of Trumpism instead of his own agenda? What lies in store in flashpoints around the world from Taiwan to Turkey to the Western Sahara? And will the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks see the Taliban restored to power in Afghanistan? Arthur Snell plots out the year ahead.   “Are we really in a place when many American voters don’t believe in democracy, or is it just when Trump is on the ballot paper?” “It’s extraordinary that we could get to the end in Afghanistan almost where we began, with the Taliban back in government.” “By the end of the year, there’ll be a new cast of people that we don’t recognise in control of politics.”  Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
