What a year 2024 has been. It's had it all. Highs and loves and lows, elections and entertainment.

With my colleagues Sasha Kehoe and Vanessa Phelan, we take a look at some of the biggest news stories of 2024.

It was a year of elections, but also of countries coming undone through continuous wars or overthrowing of regimes (Syria and Bangladesh).

Paris hosted the Olympics and added breakdancing as one of its choices.

We can't go without mentioning Taylor Swift and the Eras Tour. Then there was the mispronounced names including Kamala Harris, Chappell Roan, Zendaya, Barry Keoghan.

Bringing it back to Luxembourg, we had the Caritas embezzlement scandal, increased defence spending (along with much of Europe), and the idea of conscription was floated. Eurovision mania hit Luxembourg for the first time in 31 years and the new crop of talent is lining up for next year's show.
