Episode description

Tensions are rising between two nuclear powers after India launched missile strikes into Pakistan-controlled territory. Pakistan’s calling it an “act of war”. The London Standard’s reporter Jacob Phillips joins us to explain what’s happened, why now, and what it means for the UK and wider world.


Plus, we hear from James Ashton, co-founder of Oscar’s Book Prize. He tells us about this year’s winning picture book “Just The Two of Us” by Polly Noakes - and the moving legacy behind the award.
