- CNN's Eleni Giokos joins Radio Davos to look at that, and some of the other big news stories of the year.
- The invasion of the US Capitol, the postponed Olympics, and COP26 were all big news events.
The Radio Davos podcast joins CNN anchor Eleni Giokos to look through a small selection of big stories, and we listen back to some remarkable news reports.
Eleni Giokos, CNN anchor and correspondent based in Dubai, spoke to Radio Davos from quarantine in a hotel in Greece.
2021 news review
"If you'd said to me last year that that we would be talking again with me in quarantine and you recovering from COVID, I would have said: 'You're a doomsayer.' And now I've literally been put in my place realising that we're still very much in the thick of things," Eleni says.
"But despite everything that's happened this year, I still feel that there are so many people working to ensure we get through COVID-19 that it gives me hope."
