Ian Bremmer answers your most burning questions on the World In 60 Seconds!

What's the update with Jamal Khashoggi case?

Five Saudis given the death penalty for their direct involvement. Mohammed bin Salman nowhere engaged, no responsibility personally. That's, of course, what they've been saying, even though the CIA says different. The Saudis are hosting the G20 next year and everyone is pretty much moving on, except, of course, Jamal Khashoggi and his family. Never going to receive real justice on that.

What are world leaders asking for this holiday season?

A little bit of peace, a little bit of quiet. Hey, and in the United States, one thing you can say about Pelosi not handing over the actual articles of impeachment is that we don't have to pay as much attention to it for a couple of weeks. Take some time off. Enjoy yourself. Happy holidays.

Listen: It's officially the new year, and 2025 will bring a whole new set of challenges as governments react to the shifting policies of the incoming Trump administration, instability in the Middle East, China’s economic weakness, and a world where the global order feels increasingly tenuous. 2025 will be a year of heightened geopolitical risks and global disorder, with the world no longer aligned with the balance of power.

What happens when no one’s in charge

Annie Gugliotta

We are heading back to the law of the jungle – where the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. This is the G-Zero world I’ve been warning about for over a decade now – an era when no one power or group of powers is both willing and able to drive a global agenda and maintain international order.
