Statements about the doctrine or the future made by current LDS Prophet, and the church view on those

I was looking at this mormon.org page that mentions that "The current prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Thomas S. Monson." 1. Does the LDS church assert that doctrinal statements made by the current Prophet are either "inspired", "infallible", or both? 2. Has the Prophet made any statements about (near)future events that Mormons expect to happen? (I am separating "inspired" and "infallible" because I am not sure how they are interpreted in this context.)
