The movers and shakers from the biggest political party in the world – the 96 million-members who make up the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – will gather in Beijing this Sunday, and for one man among the 2,296 delegates it promises to be history-defining. China’s 20th National Congress is expected to approve its leader Xi Jinping by a landslide vote to serve a historic third term, making him the most powerful leader China has had since Mao Zedong.

Are we facing nuclear Armageddon? What might precipitate the ultimate nightmare scenario? Joe Biden is worried. On October 6 the US President used the A-word, warning Vladimir Putin that any use of a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine risked cataclysmic consequences. Ukraine fills our minds, naturally, but it is not the only potential nuclear flashpoint. Lest we forget, one such flashpoint just issued a reminder and not for the first time. On October 4, North Korea test-fired a missile. That’s hardly news. This year Pyongyang has launched no fewer than 46 projectiles on 29 separate occasions – an unprecedented pace.…

DISTURBING pictures have emerged of Ukrainian children in Russia-occupied Mariupol being trained in the use of firearms and mine sweepers The images were passed to National Security News by the Oleksandr Merezhko, the chair of the Ukrainian Foreign Affairs Committee and an expert in International Law, who described Russia’s so-called “patriotic military” summer camps as an “appalling” attempt at brainwashing. The images have been posted on the Mariupol city council telegram account and appear to be supported by articles which have appeared in pro-Putin publications, which described the children as attending “Young Vigilante” training in self-defence. Missing from the majority…

As the recently departed Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne on her Coronation Day on June 2nd 1953, she spoke memorably of the living strength of the Commonwealth, as well as of “societies old and new; of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God’s Will, united in spirit and aim.” Now King Charles III, her eldest son at 73 years of age, faces the history-defining challenge of keeping the Commonwealth as one when it seems that it will take considerably more than a divine decree to keep it united. In the week when it was…

Vladimir Putin has been warned that his rag tag army of exhausted conscripts and demoralised mercenaries are in no fit state for him to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in the Ukraine. General David H. Petraeus, a former top U.S. commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, said that although regular troops had historically been trained to operate on a nuclear battlefield, the Russian president’s current forces were not up to the task. General Petraeus added that the localised nuclear option – which many see as a last desperate throw of the dice by Putin – would also render the affected areas as impassable to Russian…

Dual national Britons based in Russia face being called up to fight in Ukraine, western officials have warned An estimated 4,000 British people currently living in Russia have also been warned to leave the country as soon as possible.

The top-secret unit will be staffed by a team of forensic and clinical psychologists under orders to root out agents planted inside Britain’s intelligence services by hostile states. The psychologists will also play a role in recruiting and vetting MI5 and MI6 officers, as well as monitoring members of the intelligence agencies involved in what are described as “high risk” roles -meaning spies responsible for recruiting foreign agents and those officers involved in undercover operations. Intelligence sources…

Explosive claims have emerged from the Ukraine that a former model who accused one of the most powerful men on Wall Street of multiple sexual assaults, is a Russian spy. The intelligence arm of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence published a list of what it said are FSB employees on its own website, and later shared it on Twitter. They include names, addresses and even passport numbers. As recent investigations by the website Bellingcat show, names and passports are frequently altered to suit the legends of the spies. According to the country’s Intelligence Directorate, Guzel Ganieva is one of 620 FSB…
