Morale amongst Hezbollah fighters must be desperately low after the group’s command and control network – the ability to coordinate its fighters dotted along the border with Israel – was severely undermined by the astonishing Mossad-led pager and walkie-talkie attack, which killed dozens of fighters and injured many…

Calls for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hezbollah conflict are toothless, according to Col. Philip Ingram, a former British Army Intelligence Officer and NATO planner. Ingram added that it will also be very difficult to halt a military operation of the scale that Israel has initiated in southern Lebanon. “It’s like a super tanker, but it’s one that’s larger than any you’ve encountered before.

Norway has announced that it is rearming amid growing fears that the melting Arctic caused by global warming will increase the chance of war with Russia and China. In a bid to combat the potential threat the Nordic country has commissioned five new warships, six submarines along with increased space surveillance to observe Russian and Chinese movements, said State Secretary Anne Marie Aanerud. Global warming is melting the Arctic four times faster than elsewhere on the planet, according to the Norwegian minister.

The huge cost of nuclear power stations will only decrease when nations start building them in large numbers, a leading industrialist has claimed. Seb Henbest, Group Head of Climate Transition at HSBC, highlighted China’s strategic approach to nuclear power and suggested that it was a model the rest of the world could follow.
