Episode notes

This chapter examines the commemoration of RAF resistance during WWII while drawing parallels to Ukraine's current conflict with Russia. It analyzes the debate over supplying Western arms, particularly long-range missiles, highlighting military strategies and the complexities of international influence, particularly from the U.S. The chapter also touches on the intersection of military discussions with the rising prominence of fashion in global media, illustrating diverse narratives and cultural engagement.

The first reduction in interest rates for four years shows America’s Federal Reserve thinks inflation is now in check. But does the central bank’s decision suggest it is now concerned about the labour market? Ukraine wants its allies to provide long-range missiles (9:50). Our correspondent explains what difference these would make to the war. And how fashion brands conquered TV (19:44).
