Newsnight’s diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban investigates what lessons we can learn the battlefield in the Ukrainian war. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog

In just two and a half months, the war in Ukraine has claimed tens of thousands of lives and flattened countless communities.

The intensity of this struggle has shocked many, even those military professionals across the world who now find themselves watching, trying to understand what lessons to draw about war and its future conduct.

How long could this conflict continue? Could we see a WWI stalemate? Are we witnessing the death of the tank?

Newsnight’s diplomatic and defence editor Mark Urban has been scouring Russian and Ukrainian accounts online and speaking to expert observers to discover more about what those early lessons might be.

This film was produced by Louis Harris-White.

    Why not this man has stopped? What this man wanted? Invading a an independent State? Killing it's people. Where is justice for those who killed by him? If he wants something more destructive.. ok. Let him used his nuclear weapons. Let's see his toughness. If wants to sacrifice his own people. His millions of people to die. Ok. Push him now. Before the west has been fed up with all of his bluffings. Is he the who was afraid of his threats. Ok do it now with all your threats. The world has been waiting now. Lets see if he can do his threats. If he was brave enough. NATO might strike first. Then lets see who will exterminate on the face of the planet. Just like dinasours extinct because of asteroids that hit earth a long time ago. And nuclear bombs were like asteroids who can exterminate a race. The question now who will go first to exterminate.

    Fancy that: another snippet of news from the largest war in Europe since WW2! And this while the BBC is fighting its own heroic battle against the advanced stages of IAD (Infantile Attention-span Disorder).
    Hats of to the heroes on its editorial board, who—despite the absence of their own spines—struggle to salvage what they can from the steady flow of news from reporters who put their lives on the line every single day.

    Watch Patrick Lancaster or Eva Bartlett on YouTube for the real story of how the Ukraine military has been shelling civilians and holding human shields. The Ukraine Neo-Nazi war crimes are far worse than anything the Russian side has allegedly done.

    Oh I see god that is so smart, is that why the Russians are winning, is that why the Russians are taking 20% of your claim is that why so many Ukrainians are dying and they can’t get enough weapons and they complain about not having enough, they need more and more and more, wow this guy seems so smart, boy if you listen to him he knows a lot, I don’t know it looks like the Russians are doing pretty good

    sending your sons into these tanks knowing that they will be killed by missiles, would you support your leaders, when your leaders are living in bunkers and are drinking whisky, hell.

    Sooner or later we’re just going to have robots with a race for the most sophisticated AI fighting other robots in proxy wars in pocketed battles all throughout the front lines.. in this case Advanced microchips are going to be @ a premium. And guess what that tiny Island country Taiwan produces just over 50% of the microchips that are critical to the functioning of this advanced military equipment going forward, not to mention Phones, cars & other consumer electronics this is the main reason why Taiwan is very much on Xi Jinping’s menu that is a huge balance of power control technologically going forth into the future.

    Lets do this analysis. What if the War drags on for several years and the Ukraine pushes the Russians out of Crimea and the Donbass, how much of Russia do you think the Ukraine will capture before there is peace ? And wouldn't that throw Putin's plans to re-conquer the old Russian Czarist Territory. And why don't you entertain what will happen if Russia attacks Poland ? How far into Russia can NATO push before the Nuclear trigger is pulled ? How can NATO and Russia fight on Russian soil without triggering tactical nukes ? Russia is still married to the doctrine of kicking NATO back to its 1997 borders and to dissuade Russia of this political aim, isn't it necessary at some point that NATO aggressively engages Russia and decidedly beats the Russian and pushes them back well behind the current Russian border. What will NATO'S terms of peace be for the War in Ukraine and the war that follows ? And what of the continued diatribe from Russia and China that the old uni-polar world (which did not exist except in the disturbed Russian Cold Warriors mind who failed to recognize the USSR collapsed from within) ? How is the West going to address and do battle with this Chinese /Russian collation which has clearly been at war with the West for 20 years but we just failed to notice. Is the West going to re-Militarize and if so, lets do it with overwhelming production of all vehicles of war, land , sea and air so that it is clear that the West can defeat both Russia and China, at the same time, and do so clearly and with great advantage. These are the REAL issues we are facing. Lets do some examination of these truths.

    Nations like Germany and Sweden that has totally destroyed their defence has to rethink their priorities. One can see that the leaders of those nations have been taking little responsibility for the safety of their people.

    The use of attach drones and precise artillery fire power is altering the result on the modern battle field. The only constant which doesn't change is man's inhumanity towards man. Diplomacy is a good starting point – always. But when the first shot is fired…"it's too late she cried."

    Correction: The Ukraine's done a great job of using US intelligence.

Russell Brand jury will not be shown TV documentary | BBC News

Published

on



The jury in Russell Brand’s rape trial won’t see a TV documentary that a complainant says led her to come forward.

Judge Mr Justice Bennathan said it would be unfair to show the Channel 4 Dispatches programme because the allegations it contains have not been tested in court, but said that jurors will hear about it during the trial.

The 51-year-old actor and comedian faces seven charges – three counts of rape, three charges of sexual assault and one of indecent assault.

The allegations, made by six female complainants, span a 10-year period between 1999 and 2009. He denies the charges.

Are we building the AI that destroys us? | BBC News

Published

on



There have been sobering warnings this week from MI5, the UK’s AI Minister and a number of security officials – AI is already a threat to our lives.

But despite those fears, innovation and AI development continues at breakneck speed.

So this week on AI Decoded we focus in on that central question of AI – should we accelerate the development of ever more powerful AI systems, or slow down before the risks become unmanageable?

It’s the question at the centre of a major new film, Artificial, which explores the growing divide between OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever over the answer.

To discuss it all, Marc Cieslak and Dr Stephanie Hare are joined by technology futurist Bernard Marr and AI safety researcher Roman Yampolskiy, one of the world’s leading voices on the risks posed by superintelligent AI.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinians in West Bank during olive harvest | BBC News

Published

on



The BBC has witnessed Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and set fire to olive trees in the occupied West Bank.

Several dozen settlers dressed in black charged down a hill near an outpost – illegal under Israeli and international law – to a field where Palestinians and activists were harvesting olives. They torched about a dozen trees and hurled stones from slingshots.

Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was at the scene, was taken to hospital where she told reporters she “got jumped” and described being kicked on the ground.

The UN says the past two weeks have already seen more attacks by violent Israeli settlers than during the entire harvest season last year. It says this year levels of settler violence have reached an all-time high.

The BBC’s Middle East Correspondent Lucy Williamson reports from the occupied West Bank.
