From the transcript
Welcome back to the situation we're in the Every Now and Then show where we take your questions about the state of the world and give our, well, inevitably depressing answers.
In this end of year edition, we're going to be covering fun Christmassy topics like Sudan genocide denial, where the Mexico could be classified as a failed state, and what we've recently learned about the violence and predations of Assad's Syria.
And if that wasn't enough Christmas magic for you, we're also going to be touching on the raw power of the modern Trump doctrine, as well as answering your questions about the terrifying concept, known as nuclear landmines.
