Summary
As fighting in the Russian-Ukraine war intensifies, and Israel warns of an imminent Iranian strike, what does it take to report on these deadly conflicts?
Adam Boulton is joined by three war journalists from The Times - Catherine Philp, Anthony Loyd and Manveen Rana - who have faced violence, kidnapping, and gunfire in war zones around the world.
Plus: Columnists Libby Purves and Tim Montgomerie discuss whether Keir Starmer has a handle on immigration, why Rishi Sunak was a 'weak' prime minister, and why humans are so fascinated by collecting relics.
