UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a multi-billion pound investment in the armed forces, which he described as the country's "biggest sustained increase" in defence spending since the 1980s. The new expenditure is intended to prepare the British army, navy and air force for the future of war, with an emphasis on drones, AI and autonomous systems.
This comes amid international warnings that Russia could directly threaten Nato countries within the next five years. Britain and its European allies have been ramping up their military spending - spurred by the war in Ukraine and threats by President Donald Trump to withdraw from Nato. We ask the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams how Nato members are preparing for the future of war, and threats in Europe, the Pacific and beyond.
