Eric Schmidt: Ukraine is changing warfare faster than ever
It’s been said this year that Ukraine has had some successes on the battlefield thanks to its use of drone warfare. But- is that progress starting to slow down as Russia catches up? This week, Richard is joined by Eric Schmidt, the former CEO and Chairman of Google, and ex-chairman of the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence. He is now using his experience to advise Ukraine on its use of AI in drone warfare and provides them with advanced AI technology in his role as Chair and CEO of Relativity Space, an American manufacturing company.

Inside Iran: Is the war about to escalate?
Richard has just returned from Iran, where he witnessed the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He shares what he saw inside the country, answers your questions about reporting from Tehran as tensions flared once again, and explains what the funeral revealed about the mood inside Iran after months of conflict. Richard is also joined by Professor Robert Pape, one of the world's leading experts on war and military strategy. They look at why the Iranian regime still appears so resilient when the country has suffered such significant military blows. And is the US and Israel's strategy achieving its goals - or risking something much bigger?

Communism, cigars and Cadillac cars. A beautiful island that has been the thorn in the side of the U.S government for 67 years.

Yalda has just been in Havana, interviewing the president who rarely gives interviews to foreign press. He told her he was ready to give his blood to defend Cuba, if Trump decides on military action.
