Last night’s #SecurityBrief. We interrogate Trump’s Gaza plan. I’ve deployed on Afghan, Kosovo and Macedonia operations. All three operations gave me insights into the issues ahead.

Petition: Invest in brain cancer and give rights – turn terminal into treatable Brain cancer is the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, 87% with a high-grade brain tumour diagnosis die within 5 yrs, and yet it gets just 1% of the national spend on cancer.

My lovely mate Group Captain Pip Harding is enduring brain cancer right now. I attended his living memorial and he is still fighting. ~79,000 more signatures required. If you live, work, or study in the UK (inc under 18), you can sign. Link below. Thank you.

YouTube video by BBC News The US and China: Are we heading for space wars? | BBC News

WATCH tonight’s #SecurityBrief is now on @YouTube. The evolution of Chinese Hypersonic Missile Capability - that’s missiles that travel at Mach 5+ and warheads that can manœuvre. The West currently has no answer. Unless space is weaponized? @BBCWorld

youtu.be/5B7684WXSVo?...

China’s development of Hypersonic missiles has opened up a big capability gap in how the West can counter this threat. We take a deep dive tonight at 1840hrs on BBC News. Join me, Christian Fraser, and @frankgardner.bsky.social for the #SecurityBrief

YouTube video by BBC News What are US nuclear submarines capable of? | BBC News

Watch an episode of the #SecurityBrief breaking down U.S submarine operations & capability. Guest is Ret’d Commodore Bob Fancy, former trainer on the Royal Navy’s elite Perisher course-arguably one of the hardest courses to pass in the British military.

Nothing correlates. Misinformation and disinformation (no surprise there). Don’t take anything at face value. I’m working hard to join the dots. As there is a lot that doesn’t sync. #Doha

Really good discussion on @BBC Ukrainecast with @lucyhockings @vitalybbc and @mikey-kay.bsky.social to talk about the recent horrific attacks on Ukraine and possible new sanctions on Russia. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Back on air w/ a 10min brief at 2035hrs questioning: how IDF strike aircraft got close to drop precision munitions on Qatar. Route and airspace considerations; types of aircraft and weapons used; Qatar quick reaction alert assets; and battle space deconfliction? #BBCWorld

On air now with breaking analysis on the IDF strike on Hamas leadership in Doha, Qatar, discussing Gaza ceasefire proposals. #BBCNews

Not sure why this latest attack suddenly wakes Trump to Putin’s disregard for any cessation of hostility. Putin/Lavrov have made it quite clear what their egregious demands are. 4 Eastern Oblasts, zero pathway to NATO or other alliances, and capping on Ukraine military capability. Wake up!

At Arrivals at Bordeaux airport. Literally like being on the set of Love Actually. If you want to reaffirm your faith in goodness and love, and humanity, it’s a brilliant exercise! I am actually waiting for friends! 😅

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Tonight on the #SecurityBrief. I’m taking a look at U.S Submarine capability in response to Trump’s comments on moving 2 x U.S nuclear subs into position. We don’t know if Trump was referring to nuclear powered, or nuclear ballistic missile capable. Tonight, 2030hrs on BBC News World.

July 30, 2025 @BBCWorld #SecurityBrief - U.S Secondary Sanctions| Trump goes after India, but we also take a look at Western-made components in Russian weapons, that are being used to strike Ukraine.

What’s smashing Ukraine at the moment are the massive attacks by Putin using Geran 2 drones (a copy of the Iranian-made Shahed 2 - effectively the same blue print). And glide bombs (Fab 500 to Fab 3000). Patriots won’t be able to absorb these mass of attacks.

Of course. Same when the FAA was gutted. The uptick of incidents and accidents that started occurring wasn’t a coincidence.

Another shift in the Israel/Iran conflict. This time deescalatory. We’ll be starting coverage at 15.30hrs on BBC World (Tuesday 24 June), with in depth analysis on the #SecurityBrief at 2030hrs. We’ll be using maps, graphics and visuals to talk you through the last 12 days.
