A day at UK’s largest arms fair, plus Qatar and Poland attacks

It's been a week of big developments, with Nato planes scrambled
after Russia sent more than a dozen drones into Polish airspace,
and Qatar on high alert after Israel bombed a Hamas negotiating
team in the centre of Doha. Roland and Venetia unpack the
significance of the events and what might happen next. 


Plus, the team spends a day at DSEI, one of the world's largest
arms fairs, to look at how the UK is getting its armed forces
ready for the next war. They catch up with a veteran British tank
commander on the pros and cons of the upcoming Challenger 3, the
managing director of Ukrspecsystems, Ukraine’s largest drone
manufacturer, on why they’re investing in the UK, and Hamish de
Bretton-Gordon on chemical warfare and the importance of good
defensive kit.
