Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
I'm Alex Dibble and I executive produce the podcast.
The World in 10 is partnered with Frontline, the interview series from Times Radio,
available on YouTube, with expert analysis of the world's conflicts.
At the weekend, we bring you Frontline interviews in full.
Here's one from this week.
I hope you find it interesting.
Hello and welcome to Frontline with me, Philip Ingram.
Now, today we're talking to Professor Mark Gagliotti.
Professor Mark is one of the world's leading experts on Russian crime and security and is on Russia's banned list,
but he's an old friend of the show.
So, Mark, welcome back to Frontline.
Good to be here.
Now, today, we're supposed to have the senior diplomats from European nations with Marcus Rubio,
the US Secretary of State, in London.
taking forward the peace negotiations, the ceasefire negotiations or anything else.
But then Marcus Rubio says he's not coming.
Most of the other European senior diplomats say, well, if he's not coming, we're not coming.
And they've handed over to their lackeys, those that are the number twos.
