it'll mean reshaping the armed forces. less of the old, like tanks and heavy armour. and more of the new, like drones and robots. at bae systems in lancashire, they're already working on the next generation fighterjet, in what they call their factory of the future. for now, tempest is just a concept, though the plan is to be able to fly it with or without a pilot in the cockpit. but the armed forces also want to be ready to fight in the new domains of space and cyber. this is the first look inside the army's special unit to counter disinformation from states like russia — now operating in the increasingly blurred lines between war and peace. all this doesn't come cheap. it's very difficult to imagine that the ministry of defence could do all that it's going to be required to do on the budget it's presently got, because it's going to be required to do lots of new things. and there is a sense, in some parts of government, that if you find the right technologies, you can do all of these things more cheaply. you can't. the defence secretary ben wallace now wants to pers

armed forces. simply put, it refers to our military's ability to answer the nation's call and to fight and win any time, anywhere. the traininged of and equipment we provide our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and professionals as well as the deployment and the maintenance schedules that drive our operations in the way we keep our service members physically strong in mentally tough. the bottom line is that each part of the readiness life sequence is vital to preparing and enabling our men and women in uniform to successfully execute their mission. the question we must answer is this -- if called upon to fight tonight, are we ready? today, given our efforts over the past few years, i am fully confident that the answer to that question is a resounding yes. i will explain why in a few minutes because first i want to show through historical example how we learned the hard way the cost of not being ready. 1950, at the beginning of the korean war, and understrengthed battalion and toillery battery of

phil: you mentioned the possible involvement of german armed forces. in what capacity? >> what the mayors of the 11 large cities have agreed is that if they need to -- in other words, if infection rates go up -- they can call on the armed forces, in particular come to help with contact tracing. of course, that's quite personnel-intensive work. in particular in the cities where infections have gone up sharply, that could affect local government employees, so there may be a shortage of personnel. this is the kind of work soldiers could be brought in in short order to do. they've got hospital capacity that they have made available. this is just making sure those resources continue to be available going forward. phil: lots of action being taken now. how bad is the situation? how are is germany from a second national lockdown? >> the chancellor was clear today she desperately wants to avoid that. she wants to avoid a return to the stricter measures that were in place in the spring. germany never had quite as drastic a lockdown as some other countries did, but there were rest

the impact of the pandemic on armed forces veterans and personnel. i think this year, more than any other year in recent times, there is a greater need — well, from our armed forces community, from our veterans and their families — for help. people, because of covid, are suffering, as we know, but particularly people who have served our country. so many of our armed forces personnel are on the front line now, working with nhs staff in wards, in hospital wards where people are suffering from covid. and again, if we have a very bad winter with covid, and we get floods again, for instance, we'll ask for our armed forces to intervene and help us. so this is an opportunity between now and the 11th to buy a peppy, to say "thank you", and to help people who desperately need our help. as i say, every poppy this year counts. ross kemp speaking about the royal british legion. let's return now to the news that research by one of the largest studies of covid—19 infections in england suggested almost 100,000 people are catching the virus every day. the rese
