Europe is mobilising to face Russia. Is the UK falling behind?

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced the return of
military service in the country, 25 years after mandatory
national service was phased out. And he's not alone, with the
German parliament set to vote on similar measures, while Belgium
and the Netherlands have already introduced voluntary military
service.

necessary are they, and will the UK follow suit?

Dr Lynette Nusbacher, a military historian and strategist,
and James Crisp, The Telegraph’s Europe editor, to hear more.
