After this programme. hello and welcome to the bbc�*s headquarters here in central london for another edition of unspun world. this week, whats it like for a journalist to be treated like an enemy in moscow? as relations deteriorate between russia and the uk and russia and the west, and just when you think they cant get any worse, they get worse. you know, that makes it difficult. the civil war in myanmar, something the outside world seems completely unaware of. it really is a david and goliat...

And maybe even the best. nato war games of the 1970s often used to end with soviet victories. after vladimir putins so—called special military operation in ukraine, though, russias armed forces seem pretty inadequate. if were looking for historical parallels, the best one is probably stalins invasion of finland — the so—called winter war of 1939 to �*40. finns turned out to be far better tacticians than the russians, and they fought much more effectively. stalin had made the critical mis...

For mr kurti equally clear. does it really matter beyond the two mens hostility towards each other? how disturbing is that for the balkans generally? when theres an actual war going on in ukraine, you do not want a frozen conflict flaring up in the western balkans. thats a distraction that the united states and the european union simply dont need at this time. now, the presence of the nato peacekeepers in kosovo to a great extent keeps everyone honest. in fact, the commander of kfor said that if...

If you take a long view of russian history, it will turn around again and that this period that were experiencing now will will be replaced by another one. there are at least 27 wars going on in the world at the moment, though none of the others has the intensity of the war in ukraine. one particularly vicious conflict, which is going on without much awareness in the outside world, is the civil war in myanmar, formerly burma, where a loose association of ethnic and other forces opposed to the mi...

Their biggest arms dealer. whats your instinct about all this? where is this war going? it really is a david and goliath war here. when youre seeing drones versus russian jets, its hard to see how a peoples resistance can can win against those forces. but the will of the burmese people is incredibly strong. theres a real sense of unity, perhaps for the first time, between different ethnic groups. and if they really can unite and if they can use their forces well, they definitely have a chance. b...

Will be extraordinary. and after all this time, did covid—19 really escape from a laboratory in wuhan? there are a lot of people now who believe that chinas primary aim here isntjust to deny the possibility of a lab leak, but it is to deny the possibility that covid came from within chinas borders at all. the disaster at the nova kakhovka dam on the dnieper river, flooding parts of the front line in southern ukraine, could well be a deliberately engineered effort by russia to derail ukraines b...

On russian television accusing britain of being behind the nazis in germany. and i would like to think that, if you take a long view of russian history, it will turn around again and that this period that were experiencing now will will be replaced by another one. there are at least 27 wars going on in the world at the moment, though none of the others has the intensity of the war in ukraine. one particularly vicious conflict, which is going on without much awareness in the outside world, is the...

But russia, and also china to some extent, but really russia has stepped up to become the juntas biggest foreign backer and also their biggest arms dealer. whats your instinct about all this? where is this war going? it really is a david and goliath war here. when youre seeing drones versus russian jets, its hard to see how a peoples resistance can can win against those forces. but the will of the burmese people is incredibly strong. theres a real sense of unity, perhaps for the first time, betw...

Versus russian jets. so if they do win, it will be extraordinary. and after all this time, did covid—19 really escape from a laboratory in wuhan? there are a lot of people now who believe that chinas primary aim here isntjust to deny the possibility of a lab leak, but it is to deny the possibility that covid came from within chinas borders at all. the disaster at the nova kakhovka dam on the dnieper river, flooding parts of the front line in southern ukraine, could well be a deliberately engin...

The second most effective military force on earth, and maybe even the best. nato war games of the 1970s often used to end with soviet victories. after vladimir putins so—called special military operation in ukraine, though, russias armed forces seem pretty inadequate. if were looking for historical parallels, the best one is probably stalins invasion of finland — the so—called winter war of 1939 to �*40. finns turned out to be far better tacticians than the russians, and they fought much...
