Europe embraces national service - should the UK do the same?

Tue, 25 Nov 2025

Are you prepared to fight for your country?

That's the question Emmanuel Macron will be asking the young people of France this week when he announces a plan to introduce voluntary military service.

The threat posed by Russia and a US that has a questionable commitment to NATO means Mr Macron isn't the only European leader who has had to ponder such a move.

Should the UK follow France's lead and introduce some form of military service?

Niall is joined by former armed forces minister James Heappey.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025

Is it time for an NHS screening programme for prostate cancer? 

The disease is the most common cancer affecting men in the UK and kills more than 12,000 men every year. A decision is expected to be made by the National Screening Council later this week. 

Now, former prime minister Lord Cameron has become the latest high-profile figure to reveal his own diagnosis and has called for a national programme to target the groups most at risk.
