What Britain learnt from the Ukraine war & Germany's east-west election divide

Today marks three years since Russia's full scale invasion of
Ukraine began. As Europe prepares to boost its defence in
preparation for a future possible war with Russia, we ask: what
has the British army learned from the Ukraine war? To find out,
Venetia Rainey went to visit one of the host camps for Operation
Interflex, a mammoth operation that has seen the UK and 13
partner nations train up tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers
since June 2022. 


Plus: James Rothwell brings us the election results from Germany
and explains what Friedrich Merz's upcoming leadership means for
European defense and what the East-West election divide reveals
about German society today.
