BFBS Radio Sitrep - A podcast by BFBS Radio - Thursdays

In this episode of Sitrep with Kate Gerbeau and Christopher Lee we hear from Dr Karin Von Hippel the Director General of RUSI about President’s Trump’s recent visit to Europe.  Did he achieve anything other than international confusion?     Also a statement from the government on the Modernising Defence Programme.  James Hirst explains why it doesn’t say anything we don’t already know.   Why has there been a rise in violence in Northern Ireland?   Ali Gibson takes a look into the future of the RAF at the Farnborough Air Show with a report on future updates to the Eurofighter Typhoon and the virtual reality of The Tempest.   And the Commander of British Forces Germany tells Chris Pearson about British Army infrastructure in Germany after drawdown.   Follow us @bfbsSitrep on Twitter.
