In this, the final regular episode of The Crisis Room, Amber, Mark, and Marc P recap an unprecedented last twelve months in geopolitics - and look ahead to which other crises are coming down the track in the year ahead.

From the tensions between Turkey and Israel, from Iran to Greenland, and the question of what the future holds for Venezuela, the team predict which situations pose the most problems for the world in 2026, and discuss whether the UK has any major role to play in helping to solve them.

Amber, Mark, and Marc P also leave us with some parting thoughts - but don't miss the final Q&A episode of The Crisis Room next week.

In this week's Q&A, Mark & Amber assess whether the US decision to mobilise troops in the Alaskan Airborne Division is a sign that Trump is still eyeing up a military takeover of Greenland.

They also explain why MI6 officers speak publicly so rarely - and whether that should change. Plus, Mark looks at whether Jeffrey Epstein's geopolitical connections should be more closely examined, while Amber gives her verdict on whether it's time for Nigel Farage's Reform UK to appoint a dedicated spokesperson on defence and security.

Later, they explain why Israel has become the first country to recognise Somaliland as an independent state.

After a week of high drama in Davos, where leaders from Donald Trump to Mark Carney and Emanuel Macron traded blows and the whole western alliance appeared to be on the brink of collapse, Mark & Amber analyse whether there really is a new world order as the dust starts to settle.

They're joined by George Robertson, the former Defence Secretary and Secretary General of NATO who triggered Article 5 after 9/11, to discuss the future of the Transatlantic Alliance, whether America would come to Europe's aid if an ally was invaded, and why Keir Starmer needs to put his money where his mouth is on defence spending.

Plus, Marc P dials in from an undisclosed location with his reaction to the week's events, and Trump's bizarre speech at the World Economic Forum.
