Join General Sir Nick Carter, the United Kingdom's former Chief of the Defence Staff, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they discuss the future of warfare through the lens of conflicts in Israel, Ukraine, and Africa. Drawing on his extensive military career - serving in Western Germany, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq, General Carter provides his thoughts on the Trump administration's approach to the conflict in Ukraine, Putin's ambitions in Europe, and Russia and China's revanchist power in Africa. He discusses how conflicts in Africa, the Middle East and Europe are connected to the looming crisis in the Indo-Pacific associated with China's revanchist agenda, as well as the US-UK relationship and whether he is optimistic for the future prospects of the Free World.

Imam Asim Hafiz, the first Muslim chaplain to the British Armed Forces and an Islamic advisor for the Ministry of Defence, who has been working with the armed forces since 2004 discusses the many changes which have seen attitudes towards his role shifting according to the political climate and Mandeep Kaur, who was appointed as the first and only Sikh Chaplain for the entire British Armed Forces, reflects on why the idea of military chaplaincy may seem like a difficult job to take on and the impact of the role within faith communities. There are approximately 260 regular and 58 reserve chaplains across the armed forces. They serve personnel dealing with the pressures of being away from home, working in hostile environments and dealing with life and death decisions. How has the service evolved to support the broad range of beliefs represented in the armed forces? And how can religious belief really be balanced with the very real possibility of military action leading to loss of life? To discuss Giles is joined by Roger Hutton, President of Defence Humanists and former Ministry of Defence Director International Security, Dr. Sunil Kariyakarawana, the first Buddhist Chaplain to the British Armed Forces, and the Revd Joanna Jepson, an Anglican priest and a Chaplain to the British Army.Producers: Alexa Good and Linda Walker Editors: Tim Pemberton and Chloe Walker

Ros Astengo spoke to Opposition member Atrish Sanchez for the feedback that they've received from the public. Local navy enthusiast Michael Sanchez was a teenager in 1982 when the Falklands war broke out between Britain and Argentina. Sensing that Gibraltar would play a vital strategic role for the British Armed Forces, he began a diary chronicling the events which would last for 74 days. Now, over 40 years later, Michael's published it as a book... it's called "Falklands conflict - A diary from Gibraltar".What is 'Gibraltarian English'?

TW: sexual assault, rape, suicideThis week on the podcast, Em and Alex are joined by Gemma Morgan. When Gemma joined the Army, she discovered very quickly how she had to behave as a woman to get by: prove your strength by pushing yourself harder than you ever thought possible, but ensure you act small enough so you don't step on the toes of your male counterparts. This balancing act proved near impossible under the weight of oppressive misogyny deeply entrenched within the structure of the British Armed Forces, where razors were supplied for men to shape their facial hair while sanitary products for her and others that needed them weren't even a consideration. Gemma's Army career didn't go to plan, with trauma, abuse and PTSD all featuring in her story. She explains how she went from outstanding soldier to suffering a near-fatal mental health crisis, and why she is now demanding change. Gemma found help and hope, and wants to show others that they can too.If you have been affected by any topics in this episode, or you want to talk to someone, you can call the Samaritans free, anytime, at 116 123If you are a member of the Armed Forces community and you need help, you can call Help For Heroes weekdays 9-5 on 0300 303 9888 you can also submit a form anytime at https://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/application/You can buy Gemma's book, Pink Camouflage, here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pink-Camouflage-soldiers-resilience-leadership/dp/1804251232Follow us on Instagram @shouldideletethatEmail us at shouldideletethatpod@gmail.comEdited by Daisy GrantMusic by Alex Andrew Hosted on Acast.

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Prescribing Lifestyle podcast, Dr. Avi Charlton sits down with the multi-talented Paul Taylor, a neuroscientist, physiologist, nutritionist, and former British Navy aircrew officer. Paul shares his fascinating journey from serving in the British Armed Forces to his current work in Australia, where he focuses on developing stress fitness programs. They delve into the concept of hardiness, exploring how we can harness stress to become stronger both mentally and physically. Paul also provides insights into his ongoing PhD research, the impact of modern comforts on our health, and practical tips for building resilience in everyday life. Key Takeaways: Paul Taylor's Background: Former British Navy aircrew officer with experience in anti-submarine warfare and search and rescue missions. Transitioned to becoming a neuroscientist, physiologist, and nutritionist in Australia. Currently completing a PhD in applied psychology with a focus on stress fitness. Understanding Hardiness: Hardiness involves control, challenge, and commitment orientations, helping individuals grow from stress rather than just bounce back. The importance of deliberately seeking discomfort to build resilience, both physically and psychologically. Stress Fitness and Resilience: Paul's research involves developing and evaluating training programs to improve psychological measures, fitness levels, and cognitive function. The concept of “stress inoculation training” and how it prepares individuals to handle stress more effectively. Impact of Modern Comforts: Paul's book, Death by Comfort, discusses how our hunter-gatherer physiology is mismatched with modern life, leading to health issues. The need to integrate more physical and psychological challenges into our lives to counteract the negative effects of too much comfort. Practical Tips for Building Resilience: Start small with challenges like cold showers or setting progressive physical goals. Focus on what you can control and use strategies to manage what you can't. Track progress to maintain motivation and cultivate a mindset that embraces challenges as opportunities for growth.

Dan and Conrad join the British Armed Forces for a spot of hiking in the Scottish Highlands, only to find themselves in a siege horror surrounded by werewolves! Yes, Neil Marshall's debut feature Dog Soldiers (2002) has escaped its leash and scampered out of the oubliette for this episode. Often overshadowed by the director's wildly popular follow-up, The Descent (2005) – particularly in the U.S., where it didn't get a theatrical release – Dog Soldiers is a witty, action-packed lost patrol monster movie that punches above its weight and delivered some visceral practical werewolf goodness at a time when CGI was becoming a popular method of visualising lycanthropic transformations. But does it hold up 22 years later? Find out! Follow us on Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram and maybe what's left of Twitter.

Harriet Gray, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of York, mental health nurse Nicola Lester and Emma Norton, lawyer and Director of the Centre for Military Justice, talk about their research on sexual violence in the British Armed Forces and discuss cultural and institutional responses.

In February 1988, I sat in a plain interrogation room in Portsmouth, England, under arrest. I had been warned that what I said may be used to prosecute me, and my answers were written down word-for-word by a naval policeman, then taken page-by-by page to be typed up for me to sign. I was asked detailed questions about my sex life and about whom I counted among my friends in the armed forces.

A bipartisan group of senators releases the $118 billion border security package that includes foreign aid: $60 billion for Ukraine, $20 billion for immigration enforcement, $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for humanitarian aid-- including for Gaza. Dems Senate Leader Chuck Schumer EXPLODES, says if the bill is killed, America will regret it, Ukraine will lose the war, Israel will not defeat Hamas, Palestinians will starve to death and Americans might fight in Europe. That being said our allies are not prepared...In the case of a war between the United Kingdom and a similarly-sized opponent, the British Armed Forces would exhaust their capabilities “after the first couple of months of the engagement,” said General Sir Nick Carter, the former Chief of the Defence Staff, a House of Commons defence committee report revealed. Plus more on today's episode. 

Following the speech last week by the head of the British Armed Forces calling for a new ‘citizen army', we look at what this could look like and what role women would play. Emma Barnett speaks to former RAF Group Captain Kathleen Sherit the author of Women on the Front Line, and to Diane Allen, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. It's been reported that the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fasts for 36 hours at the start of each week. He is said to stop eating by 5pm on a Sunday and doesn't permit himself to touch food again until 5am on a Tuesday, and allows himself to drink only black coffee and water. It is said that he has followed this practice for years. Emma is joined by Dr Saira Hameed to discuss fasting and how men and women should approach it differently. Amy and Anu are identical twins, but just after they were born, they were taken from their mother and sold to separate families. Years later they connected online and realised they were among thousands of babies in Georgia stolen from hospitals and sold, some as recently as 2005. Emma speaks to one of the twins, Amy Khvitia, and also Fay Nurse, a BBC journalist behind a new documentary, Georgia's Stolen Children. From cute cat memes to plush toys, a new exhibition at Somerset House explores the power of cuteness in contemporary culture. But is buying into a cute aesthetic regressive or even sexist, or can cute be reclaimed as a form of protest? And how would you feel, as a grown woman, about being labelled 'cute' or 'adorable'? To discuss, Emma is joined by Dr Isabel Galleymore, a consultant on the Cute exhibition; and the journalist Vicky Spratt.Presenter: Emma Barnett Producer: Emma Pearce

After hearing James Dunne's single “Black Train,” I immediately thought, “I need to talk to this guy.” And here we are.   James and I talk about is first single, “Duty,” which reflects on is own time serving in the British Armed Forces and the other tales he covers in the EP, released earlier this year. Music has been a part of James' life for years but it's only recently that he decided to release it and we look into what led to this.   James and I talk about the music video for “Black Train” which features—you guessed it—a black train. There's a story with this one, and the visuals are amazing. We also talk about the reception he's gotten since the release of his music and the different folks he's met as he's begun this new part of his life.   Opening the episode is an excerpt from “Black Train” and closing the show is the full song.

An elite soldier, veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and a former member of the British Royal Marine Commando. The Royal Marines are ‘the best of the best', they are the elite of the British Armed Forces and Martin was one of them. He shares what it takes to get into one of the best military units in the world, how hard the training is and what it's like afterwards when that ultimate "We're going to war" order comes. Martin has stared death in the eyes on several occasions, been in direct clashes with Taliban fighters and was among the first to capture Saddam Hussein's palace. The unique, extraordinary and breathtaking story of Martin Stapleton...

He is a passionate advocate for veterans' rights and support services and has worked with various organizations to raise awareness of the challenges that veterans face when returning to civilian life.

My guest today is not prominent on Social Media, and you have probably never heard of him, but his story is remarkable.  He left school at the age of 14 to work in construction where he spent many years before joining the British Armed Forces. After leaving the military through a few twists and turns he  taught bricklaying to students until he did research on ways to combat stress, downloaded a REIKI training  manual and that one act literally changed his life.He and his wife attended the Spiritualist Church near them and more synchronicities and healing abilities landed upon him. He shares with us the stories surrounding how he acquired all of his healing modalities. His authentic and down to earth nature will leave you uplifted and inspired. He tells us that we all have the ability to heal ourselves energetically and John now spends his time healing, teaching, leading the Church and igniting the sparks (the energy) of all who come into his presence.John tells us that we all share guides, they are energy and surround us all. We can reach out to them at any time for assistance with healing and more. He also tells us that The Fifth Dimension is a place where all all unwanted energy is sent, transmuted and released as a harmonized energy back to the universe.John is charming, modest, wise and so knowledgeable.  I hope you enjoy him as much as I did.Thank you for tuning in and should you love the podcast I hope you will share it, leave a review and give it five gold stars!Shine on!You can find John on Facebook Messenger - the best way to reach him.

Exactly 20 years ago more than 40,000 British troops were deployed on Operation Telic, to invade Iraq in search of weapons of mass destruction which did not exist. The legacy of that invasion is complicated, and Sitrep explains how it's shaped the British Armed Forces of today.General Lord Dannatt, former Chief of General Staff, tells us how it made us more risk-averse, but developed leadership skills that remain in today's servicemen and women.Plus decorated bomb disposal operator Chris Hunter tells us why he's now living in the country where he was shot, and is still working to make it a safer place.

Some trust in (rely on) chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Some nations boast of armies and of weaponry, but our boast is in the Lord our God TLB) They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. LORD, give victory to the king! Answer when we call! (from Psalm 20) The verb to escalate is only acquired its modern usage in recent times. Deriving from the Latin scala ladder, and passing through ‘escalade' (meaning ‘to assail a city by means of siege ladders), the West has been understandably cautious of escalating the conflict with Russia – but this at a time when that country has been throwing the entire weight of its considerable military weight and force against a nation many times its inferior in size and population. There has only been one country in this conflict guilty of escalation, and that is Russia, which has, effectively, declared war against the West. Ukraine has lost huge numbers of its fighting troops and remains heavily outnumbered and outgunned. At this time when Russia has effectively declared war against the West, Ukraine faces intense danger as this dedicated foe, who has learnt from his mistakes and is numerically far stronger than a year ago, intensifies its military push. Let's pray for Ukraine to have both the skill and the resources with which to survive, and then one day to rise again and resume its place as the breadbasket of the world. The matter of being prepared to send the advanced weaponry that Ukraine is manifestly in need of is also a test of each nation's commitment (and bravery). The West has been upping its response in terms of its willingness to provide Ukraine with what it needs to survive, but there are massive logistical challenges in this – not least in that the West has been sharing what it can spare, and drawing from a dwindling pool of resources, being neither able nor willing to restock at the pace at which these weapons are either being used or destroyed. In that sense the longer the conflict goes on the more it benefits Russia, who, so far from being completely defeated by the severe sanctions targeted against it has harnessed its industrial resources to massively increase weapons production, as well as obtaining supplies from similarly-minded nations. Pray too for those serving in the British Armed Forces, which have long been pared to the bone, as well as for effective supplies and resources. The music, the 1st movement of Manuel de Falla's Harpsichord Concerto, was written just before the outbreak of the horrifyingly bloodthirsty Spanish civil war in the 1930. It is a difficult piece to listen to, because it resounds with the menace and tumult of both that time and our own. We chose this music deliberately because times are hard for so many and what is happening in China is of extreme importance to the whole world. The musicians were Justin, playing the virtuoso harpsichord part, Nicola Gerrard , Amy Roberts, Shirley Richards, Helen Rees and Corinne Frost.

Seamstress Doris Staples doesn't want to see Private John Waters any more... but the American soldier has other ideas. He goes to her workplace to make sure she doesn't "step out" with any other man... and carries with him a pistol. Men were expected to seek an outlet for their sexual appetites, but any women who saw multiple partners or wanted to exit a relationship faced stigma, hostility and deadly violence.   Further reading: Ashton, John R; Machin, David; Osmond, Clive; Balajaran, Rasaratnam; Adam, Sheila A and Donnan, Stuart P B. ‘Trends in Induced Abortion in England and Wales', Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, vol. 37, 1983, pp. 105 - 110.

The sun is shining, brightly coloured bunting flutters from London's streets, traffic has been stopped - it's the 50th Anniversary of Pride. Thousands of the LGTBQ+ community and their allies will march through the streets in celebration. Joining the party is a group representing the Armed Forces. But there is a dark legacy of criminalising and ostracizing the LGBTQ people who served the British Armed Forces. Until the year 2000 being LGBTQ+ in the armed forces was an offence which could lead to dishonourable discharge, harassment or even a jail sentence. Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm talking with Major Andrew Fox. Andrew a retired paratrooper in the British Armed Forces who is a strategic, leadership and boardroom advisor drawing on 30+ years' experience leading military and inter-agency teams at home and in international crises from Sarajevo to Raqqah. He is also understood to be the most senior army officer yet to disclose his struggles with mental health after returning from war. The main reason I had the opportunity to speak to Andrew is due to his involvement in a charity, called Azadi, which was formed as an urgent crisis response to the brutal Taliban takeover of Afghanistan exactly one year ago. In the last year Azadi have assisted thousands of targeted Afghans to evacuate and resettle, taking a tailored approach to each person or family.

Composition by Fergus Kelly. "I've multi-tracked multiple pitch-shifted versions of the source sound to create a series of overlapping drones that phase and beat against each other. Shortly before starting work on this piece I had made field recordings in The National Museum of Ireland at Collins Barracks in Dublin. These consisted of various recordings of large radiators. Some were made with binaural mics placed between the two panes of the radiator to capture the drone close up, others were made by running my hand across a large upright wall mounted radiator to create resonant bell tones.  "There were rodent poison boxes nearby, hence the reference in the title, which is deliberately alliterative and lighthearted. The piece starts with the source sound at normal pitch, then gradually gets split into various versions of itself at different speeds – it becomes hydra headed, like some kind of mutating drone beast. The piece, after going through various changes, ends with a return to the source sound which is switched off, thus forming a nice full stop to the piece. "Archival sounds/archival sites: There's an interesting link between the manufacturer of the source sound and the location of the field recordings. Based in Essen, Krupps was well known as the largest maker of steel, artillery, ammunition and other armaments, and was the principal weapons manufacturer for Germany in both world wars. Collins Barracks is a former military barracks in Dublin, having housed both British Armed Forces and Irish Army garrisons through three centuries. It now houses the National Museum of Ireland (for decorative arts and history exhibits).

This week on Wellbeing we talk with Nick Martin, a Falklands War veteran with PTSD. Nick joined the British Navy in 1977 and when the Falkland Islands were invaded on April 1st 1982, he was soon deployed there. The Falklands War was a ten-week undeclared war between Argentina and the United Kingdom. Nick was serving on the Atlantic Conveyor. In May 1982, the ship was hit by two Argentine missiles causing Nick to suffer a fractured skull, broken jaw and dislocated shoulder as a result. However, it was the mental struggles that followed and the PTSD that affected him for the next 34 years that motivated him to seek help. Today, Nick is involved in Help For Heroes, a British charity which provides lifelong recovery support to British Armed Forces. In this episode, Nick talks about his service in the Falklands War, the wartime experiences he had while there, how his Falklands experience affected him in the form of PTSD on his return, how his PTSD affected his relationships, his journey to getting help, and where he is at today in his PTSD journey. "Its forty years ago now, and it has almost ruled my whole life. The PTSD that I finally got diagnosed about six or seven years ago, has ruled everything I did." - Nick Martin on this episode of Wellbeing Tune in next week when we speak with an Iraq War veteran about their PTSD journey.
