With conflicts raging around the world, aid budgets are being slashed in favour of defence spending.


But experts are warning that cutting aid may not just hurt the world’s most vulnerable, it could make life in Britain more dangerous.


This week, Lord Dannatt, the former head of the British Army, tells Venetia and Arthur why cutting aid to boost defence actually makes us less safe.


Plus we hear from the author of a new Chatham House report, Olivia O'Sullivan, about the risk of China filling the power gap and the impact on global health.
