North Korea’s dynasty dictatorship has taken on a new leather
clad, second-in-command. Reports from South Korea have suggested
that Kim Jong Un’s daughter Kim Ju-ae is now the heir apparent in
the totalitarian state.

Could she one day be the youngest person to command a nuclear
arsenal? Roland chats to The Telegraph’s Lily Shanagher and from
the University of Oxford, North Korea watcher, Dr Edward Howell,
to unpack what we know from the shadows.

Plus, after the Munich Security Conference at the weekend, Europe
is facing a new future without Washington’s steadying hand and
will have to be less reliant on the Stars and Stripes. But is
European defence manufacturing scaling up in line with these new
demands? Roland speaks to Philip Lockwood from defence startup
Stark to find out just how quickly the ambitions are being
realised.
