News Review of the Year

 
Winter Weekend 2025, 

Chew over the biggest news stories of 2025 in our review of the year, led by historian David Olusoga. David will be joined by ITV Wales Correspondent Rob Osborne, award winning journalist Jennifer Nadel Wall Street Journal correspondent Sune Engel Rasmussen, and together they will revisit the good, the bad and the I-forgot-that-happened moments of the year, and bring personal perspectives and first-hand experiences of the stories that defined 2025.

They'll dissect Trump's unique approach to foreign policy, spawning unforgettable moments including President Zelensky being thrown out of the White House for not wearing a suit, assess the prospects of a ceasefire in Ukraine and the Middle East, and pick out the moments that defined the 2025, from protests over immigration to the bin strikes in Birmingham.

But it’s not all bad news, you’ll also have the chance to relive the year's good news stories, including triumphant sporting successes from the Lionesses and Luke Littler.

Our News Review of the Year is the perfect way to begin your Sunday at the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.
