As Poland and NATO scramble fighter jets to intercept Russian drones in Polish airspace, the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk says his country is the closest to open conflict since World War II. 

David, Katie and Fran are joined by Associate Professor of Warfare and Counter Terrorism, Patrick Bury to discuss this 'unprecedented' violation of Poland's airspace. Patrick suggests that the purpose of this drone activity was to check for weaknesses in NATO's defences. 

Later, Fran reveals details of the suspicious death of 87 year old Leitrim man, Liam Farrell who died in 2020 and whose family say there are questions around what really happened to their loved one.
