in 1944 the british royal air force sets out on a bombing mission. the target is the gestapo headquarters in copenhagen, perfect target. the planes loose the bombs, drop the bombs, and they miss. instead of the gestapo headquarters, they hit a children's hospital, and scores of children are horribly killed. this is an accidental, tragic outcome of war. this can happen, but it is not terrorism. because what terrorists do is target the innocent deliberately. and therefore, my definition of terrorism is the systematic and deliberate attack, the murder, maiming and menacing of innocents, of civilians, for political goals. - what do you make of that, kim? - hamas began this war through a major act of terrorism on the 7th of october going and killing and kidnapping innocent civilians in israel, slaughtering babies. those are acts of terror, without any doubt. - and you've dealt with this question of civilians deliberately being targeted, as well as civilians who have been tragic casualties in war in ukraine and afghanistan and in iraq. of course, this is e

air force. alfred "barney" barnett, who was a gunner in the royal air force.nted to be pilots, but they had about a two or three—year wait for that. and so i put my name bound to be an air gunner. we just thought it'd be like another exercise. i but we didn't know, of course, what the opposition would be i until the last moment. pamela gallowayjoined the women�*s auxiliary air force. she was part of a secret operation to disrupt german bombing raids by using radio signals to lure the aircraft off course in what became known as the battle of the beams. the wireless operators were able to identify, i suppose you�*d call it, the wavelength or frequency on which the german bombers were navigating. and so the wireless sending stations would send out a different frequency that would either confuse or made the german bombers follow a different course. and the result would be that they would miss their targets. alfred barnett, known as barney, was a gunner in the raf. he flew more than 80 bombing missions over germany. now lancaster use to carry one or two cookies. th

we just heard, there has been some progress on making air travel more sustainable, like this royal air force powered by cooking oil. the 90—minute flight was also the first time that a military aircraft of that size flew on sustainable fuel. the raf says waste—based fuels could lower carbon emissions by up to 80%. ok, now to something that may seem like science fiction — conjuring energy out of thin air. well, two scientists have developed a device that uses a natural protein and moisture in the air to generate a small continuous electric current, and they think it could be a game—changer. i spoke to one of the scientists behind the project, electrical engineerjun yao. pulling electricity out of the sky — i mean, this is an idea that goes all the way back to nikola tesla in the 20th century, right? but you think that you might�*ve figured this out. today in the lab, there's a possibility for that — although i think we have a way to go to scale this up from the lab prototype device to a much larger device that can be deployed in the, for example, ambient environment. what will it take to scal

. >> in 1944, the royal air force bombed the guess stappo headquarters in copenhagen.is a perfectly legitimate target. but the british pilots missed. and instead of the gestapo headquarters, they hit a children's hospital nearby. and i think 84 children were burned to death. that is not a war crime. that is not something you blame britain for doing. that was a legitimate act of war with tragic consequences that accompanied such legitimate action. >> except that that has been deconstructed since, and first of all, there were no war crimes, until after world war ii, as you know, precisely because of that kind of thing, and this implies that they missed, and not only went into the area, as they said, to get the tart. do you have an issue with the world war ii rhetoric? >> well, this isn't like world war ii. it's very, very different. this is not like ukraine. this is a battle that israel is fighting for its own security. i think it is perfectly legitimate for those of us in europe and america and around the world to be a supporter of israel's security, and at the same tim

i'll try to give an example of what is not terrorism, in 1944 the british royal air force is sent to.tap headquarters in copenhagen, an ideal target, planes drop bombs and miss. instead of the gestap headquarters, they end up in a children's hospital, many children die, this is an accidental tragic outcome of the war, such may happen. it is the hospitals in the gas sector that have now become the subject of close attention from the army. alshifa came under attack, the goal was to seize hamas underground communications. 700 patients and the same number of doctors, as well as about 6,000 refugees, were targeted. according to arab media, the israeli military, during the storming , demanded that the doctors leave it, provided an allegedly safe corridor for exit, but soon after that they opened fire on the medical workers. as a result of combing the medical facility, the military discovered a lot of interesting things, weapons, military equipment and a command headquarters belonging to hamas, a little later they announced that they had also found the entrance to the tunnel, as well as a ca

royal institute of defense studies. they emphasize. the armed forces lack systems for mine reconnaissance, russia has air superiority, and they also talke the approach in the training of ukrainian officers with an emphasis not on academic knowledge, but on real experience of the war in ukraine. we heard many reports from ukraine that the domestic training is not the best, we also heard from the ukrainian side that the training soldiers abroad is too short. in fact, one of the problems is how to create a large enough reserve, how to train these guys without putting them into battle, because as soon as you send them to the front line, they will suffer from exhaustion, so on the one hand ukraine needs to train the reserves, and on the other on the other hand, you need to continue to deliver personnel to the front line to cover losses and maintain the current pace of attacks, finding the right balance is very important. if they waited another year or two with tanks, with ammunition, with artillery, then the minefields would already be of such a density that a mine is buried in a mine and then no one will pass there, the very time we gave t
