he's a senior lecturer and strategic studies at the university of portsmouth, also a former u. k. military intelligence officer of frank. good to see you again. as israel says, it's preparing for a broad ground defensive. what do you think is going through the minds of military planners? right now? demonic that they are trying to reconcile, be constant and perennial issues of ends, ways means and risk. so those are they, those are the key aspects of military plants with respect to the is re lease. they got back on maintenance at the time the ends. so everybody, all come on this plan is will be very keen and concerned to ensure that that's so it is a very clear as to what the objectives of the campaign. oh not just at that higher level elimination of how much what your personal level is. so that's the end. so i may say that very, very, very relentless with this is really what strategies here. i'm curious, what do you think of these ends are in their strategy to get their so i well that's, that's the question. the immediate time. so the crushing elimination of, of how much now the

they've got a university in portsmouth. it's mainly sort ofhow to steal cars, etcetera . but it's university. >> they've got cars in portsmouth . portsmouth. >> the least legitimate science list, if you can call them scientists, is a is a physics professor from the university of portsmouth. >> but yeah, the matrix, maybe i've heard this before, i think elon musk is has also said, you know, in a 99% know, there's in fact a 99% chance we are living in a simulation, which would explain classical religion. you know, the idea of god watching you because they can watch you anyway. the front pages anyway. that's the front pages covered. join us in two for covered. join us in part two for black matter supporting black lives matter supporting hamas. rowling not supporting labour and an asteroid that could support life. see you in a radio. >> welcome back to headliners . >> welcome back to headliners. i'm leo kirsten. i'm still here with paul cox and lewis schaefer . and let's kick off with the guardian with reports from sheffield where israel and hamas

and garza franklin, which is a former british army officer and a senior lecturer at the university of portsmouth in the u. k. and when i spoke to him earlier, he told us more about what is ray, the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu strategy might be now. oh, good afternoon and yeah, there are multiple vectors of advice going into nothing. yeah. who's come on the group at the moment? first of all, there's a dispute capacity between the military advisors and, and political advisors come back to in a 2nd about whether or not was the time to begin this campaign. this is further complicated by american perspectives to the effect that they don't believe that there are achievable goals. and the coverage is right. the plan and the particularly concerned of course, about an aftermath of not making the same mistakes that we made in iraq and afghanistan. so it's a highly complex situation, of course, that's complicated by the hostage situation. i suspect no decision is going to be made for several days and to be no offensive for that time. but look, it's, it's crystal stuff, but it's very complex. a very

analysis from frank language of the 1st issue on the officer and a senior electra at the university of portsmouth in the u. k. it's good to see you, frank. and is rose military says that it is ready and waiting for instruction from political leaders on the next move. what do you think is going through and join us in yahoo? his mind right now, what's he waiting for? oh, good afternoon. and yeah, there are multiple vectors of advice going into nothing. yeah. who's come off the group at the moment? first of all, there's a dispute capacity between the military advisors and political advisors come back to in a 2nd about whether or not was the time to begin this campaign. this is further complicated by american perspectives to the effect that they don't believe that there are achievable goals. and the coverage is right. the plan and the particularly concerned of course, about an aftermath of not making the same mistakes that we made in iraq and afghanistan. so it's a highly complex situation, of course, that's complicated by the hostage situation. i suspect no decision is going to be made for several d

that was destroyed by so you know, me 12 years ago jim smith is a professor of environmental science at portsmouth university in new k. and he explains what spring really is precise. the main road you out to the element, but in the waste water. so pushing is a thing called tritium, which is a form of hydrogen, but it's radioactive. and what happens is that the water has been treated to remove almost all of the other right here. active elements but size is trickier to water left. so what happens in nuclear reactions all over the world is a small proportion of the water that passes through the reactor gets at changed into this thing called trip to water. so instead of being h 201 of the hydrogen's in water was replaced by the radioactive form of hydrogen, which is tricky. and when it comes h t o, not com be removed from the treatment process because it's a chemically identical to ordinary water. so it can't be chemically distinguished, and that means nucleus sites all over the will discharge the small amounts of radioactive, tricky age and water into rivers. oh light. so the se, and that's what's happening it.

he is a senior lecturer in strategic studies at portsmouth university and a former u. k. military intelligence officer of frank israel has already been hitting him off and gaza on an unprecedented scale. is really military now saying it's prepared for what they're calling the next stage of the war. what do you anticipating? well, good morning sarah. the israelis have said did promise enough. and yahoo has said that. they evolved to crush the eliminate thomas. and we've heard that kind of, uh, that's called it rhetoric before or objective before actually in the middle east. quite recently, 201617 a plan the coalition thought to do exactly the same to i, us and most, all america. and they did that. and one expects is something in nature, pups at scale slightly different to what happens in most so i mean rocca, which was an investment of the city. and then essentially a, an entry into the city in this case was really focuses dot wellness. that's necessarily involved. extensive civilian casualties because of course their opponents will be very well prepared. let's talk a little bit about the scale of the is

portsmouth university. he's a former u. k. military intelligence officer as well. i asked him whether the expansion of the is really armies operations, whether or not that points to the start of a ground in beach. a 33 indications. brands that would indicate that it is the beginning of a military operation. and i'll come back to that in a 2nd. first is the communications blackout, which will include the electronic uh will 5 to deny thomas communications. so it would say not for the last few hours and we'll say got that go on. not when it includes cyber a cyber attacks, as well as well as taking down the radio towels. the 2nd indication is a huge bombardment and made out talk about something considerable here. a thumbs or a big joke at a rate of about one, every heavy bones every 10 seconds and find live easy. it is the announcements of these really defense voltage plus an i i so this as well the, the right price is picking up the house to do the same. it is very types of conducting at least a rate installs. however, the us are advising the idea very strongly. they have a very senior general in the is

portsmouth university and a former and u. k. military intelligence officer. he joins us from oxford. frank, you said at the beginning of this war, the israel did not appear to have a clear strategy for the military campaign. now 3 weeks into it, has that start there should be company clear. a good morning, terry. the answer i'm afraid is no. this is causing worries amongst these rails friends notes of the united states and indeed within the government itself. the only thing we know is that israel has said it will no longer have responsibility for gods. and now there's a number of meetings and benefits that tons of being knocked around. is there any government for example, to resettle or to move some of the guys and population to egypt up comes with administered intelligence? that's a non sconces. nothing never happened. but i think most seriously negotiations going on with the palestinian authority, hoping that are well sometimes, but somehow get involved no sign of dot. so what still doesn't know the states us a very concerned about it. they didn't budget us cd us military stuff within the planning sales to ensure tha
