The Observer.

Hello, I'm Alexi Mostras, the host of the slow newscast from The Observer.

Welcome to this week's show.

The news this week is dominated by one story, President Trump's decision to bomb Iran.

It's a story that's unfolding in real time, and who knows where it's going to end.

In many ways, the Iran attack is a battle of ideologies, a 40-plus year dispute over how the

world should look.

The top decisions are being made by men in their 50s or older.

But when it comes to ideology, especially in war, it's the young people who really count. They're the

ones on the front lines. If you look at the Ukraine conflict, thousands of young volunteers from countries like Britain

and America have volunteered to fight in the war against Russia. But what happens when that

ideology is subverted? What happens when someone from a country that supposedly stands for one

worldview goes to fight for the other side.

This is what our brilliant reporter Francisco Garcia is looking at. How is it that a young man

from a stable family with a good friendship group can end up in Dinesk unloading shells off

the back of a van, not for President Zelensky, but for President Putin.

And once you've made that decision, is there any way back?

This is Rogue Brits, fighting for Putin.

I hope you enjoy the show.

When Jay was here, were there any alarm bells?

Did you ever think, oh, this got,

something changed in him or was it just the case
