This week, Richard and Yalda talk about ‘Operation Spiderweb' - the Ukrainian drone attack that is being described by some analysts as 'Russia's Pearl Harbor'. 

How did Ukraine pull this unprecedented attack off? Where does this leave peace talks? And how might President Putin respond?

 Richard and Yalda also reflect on the difficulties of not being able to report from inside Gaza. Israel has previously said it has escorted journalists to Gaza to allow them to report safely.

Yalda also dissects the Gaza special programme she fronted and dissects two of the interviews she did. One which saw a former UN humanitarian chief use the word genocide to describe Israel's actions in Gaza, and the other which saw a heated debate with Netanyahu's former adviser.
