What if you could predict tomorrow’s headlines, before they break?
This event marks the London launch of Cauldron, in collaboration with UCL Diplomacy Society & LSE Grimshaw Club. Cauldron is reimagining how we interact with news by turning real headlines into predictions you can make, track, and learn from. As we say at Cauldron: predict tomorrow to understand today!

Join us for an evening with Andrew Mueller - contributing editor at Monocle and host of The Foreign Desk, whose work has also appeared in The Guardian, the Financial Times, and The Independent - to explore how journalism, predictions, and global affairs intersect.
Instead of a standard talk, we're doing something different.
We'll take two or three of the most provocative questions shaping the coming decades, such as:
Will the UN still exist in 50 years?
Will the US remain the global leader?
Is a second consecutive Trump presidency inevitable?
Will AI become the main way most people consume news?
Through these questions as anchor points, Andrew will take us behind the scenes of his reporting and adventures - from conflict zones to political flashpoints - and share what those experiences taught him about how the world really works.
For each topic, we will explore:
the history behind the issue,
what journalists have got right (and wrong),
early signals people often miss, and
what these patterns might tell us about the future.
The conversation will be followed by an audience Q&A, and we will wrap up with informal networking at the pub.
