    When The Grey Zone Becomes A War Zone | Grey Zone Ep 8
    2021/03/01
    What happens when the grey zone becomes a war zone and what might future wars look like, with hypersonic missiles, artificial intelligence and cyber changing calculations?

    These are questions Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes explores in this episode, in part, by looking at Russia’s annexation of Crimea and the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

    She also talks to General Sir Nick Carter, the head of Britain’s armed forces, about what he thinks is the gravest threat to the UK and about how the military is adapting to operate in the grey zone.

    Guests:
    General Sir Nick Carter, Chief of the Defence Staff
    General Sir Richard Barrons, former head of Joint Command, now Strategic Command
    Emine Dzhaparova , First Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine
    Sergei Markov, political scientist and former member of the Russian parliament
    Keir Giles, senior consulting fellow at Chatham House

    China - A Battle of Values | Grey Zone Ep 7
    2021/02/22
    This episode explores a global battle of values between China and leading democracies over issues like Hong Kong, Taiwan and Xinjiang.

    It’s being fought with an array of covert weapons, from cyber attacks and information operations to economic coercion and even something called “lawfare”.

    Allegations of such behaviour are made and denied by both sides, which of course is to be expected - in the grey zone.

    Guests:
    Tom Tugendhat, Conservative MP, chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee
    Matthew Turpin, visiting fellow, Hoover Institution
    Charlie Parton, former British diplomat, senior fellow at the Royal United Services Institute
    Dr Shi Yinhong, Director of the Academic Committee of the School of International Studies and US Research Center of Renmin University in Beijing
    Nathan Law, pro-democracy activist from Hong Kong
    Julie Marionneau, research fellow, Policy Exchange
    Freddy Lim, Taiwanese politician, lead singer of heavy-metal band Chthonic
