The last of our Christmas guest editors is the CEO of the global biopharma company GSK, Dame Emma Walmsley.

She wanted her programme to look to the year ahead with optimism. In these highlights from her programme hear Dame Emma in conversation with the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, who urges politicians not to treat their opponents as enemies but as fellow human beings.

Dame Emma also speaks to the Health Minister for Singapore; visits Kew Gardens and she asks former guest editor and Nobel Laureate Sir Paul Nurse to discuss with a group of students, the scientific and technological advances they are most excited for in 2024.

Simon Jack interviews Dame Emma to end her programme and she chooses a special piece of music.
