Secret new weapon 'Gravehawk' declassified & Russian troop losses doubled in 2024

Day 1,062.

Today, we talk about secretive air-defence systems - some developed by Ukraine and others donated by the UK in the 100-year partnership signed last week. We look ahead to the beginning of the second Trump era starting later today, in Washington. And Joe Barnes talks to lead trauma surgeon Dr Shehan Hettiaratchy about the realities of healthcare on the front line.
