Sitrep’s looking into the role of the Russian mercenary group, Wagner, after reports of fierce fighting in the West African country of Mali and asking why this conflict has caused a diplomatic row between Mali and Ukraine?
And where is the balance between the needs of the military and the needs of the media? Sitrep will discuss that with the former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff, and Mark Urban, former Defence Editor at BBC Newsnight.
And Sitrep has the latest in its series, The Moment that Made Me – this week there’s a powerful account from Major General Chip Chapman about what he learnt during the Battle for Goose Green in the Falklands.
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
