Love Island's Gemma Owen SPLITS from boxer Prince Naseem Hamed's son Aadam as star confirms she's single again: 'I'm not in a relationship' Jennifer Lopez is fierce at 54 as she shares 'first of many' album covers for new release This Is Me... Now The “Best Little Army in the World” may be getting littler, but it is not for the better. As the defence analyst Francis Tusa warns , the result of its decades-long and self-inflicted procurement woes is that it is now more or less “combat incapable against high-end threats”. Two decades of fighting poorly-equipped insurgents has distracted the Army from its primary mission of defending the country against a competent and well-equipped adversary like Russia or China. Serena Williams cuddles newborn daughter Adira and says 'this makes me so happy'... after tennis champ admitted she's 'not okay today' Both retell the bare, painful facts of the Army’s two most recent defeats. In Iraq, the initial capture and occupation of Basra, entered into with soft hats and the self-congratulatory confidence of an Army that believed it led the world in peacekeeping and counterinsurgency, ended in a humiliating negotiated withdrawal of British forces to the edge of the city, where, pinned down by constant bombardment by the Shia militias who now ran the city, they lost all capacity to exert their influence.

Taylor Swift thanks fans for 'unforgettable' concerts as she wraps the 2023 Eras Tour dates: 'I'm so grateful' I'm A Celebrity bosses 'fear more stars could quit the show' after Grace Dent's departure - as hungry campmates face storms and harsh trials By the time he'd have come to the throne, the 26-year old Duke was a washed-up junior officer in the Royal Scots Greys, a regiment which had no further use for him, even in wartime.
Sydney Sweeney looks unrecognisable with brunette hair while filming the upcoming survival thriller Eden in Australia Dua Lipa sets pulses racing in daring lace bodysuit and faux fur coat as she enjoys evening out in New York City The Army’s focus on the new Ranger battalions, tasked with training and directing local partner forces, in place of line infantry hints at a world of conflict where the business of fighting is increasingly left to expendable proxies. Yet a shrunken, more tightly-focussed Army also presents a challenge for a denuded British state, which has increasingly come to rely on soldiers to make up for its own lost capacity.
Lottie Tomlinson's lavish family holiday comes to an abrupt end as she's turned away from the airport after visa issues stopped her entering the US As you know we select approx. 45-50% of BAME and female that we board therefore we expect to select c15 female and 7 BAME from the current cohort. The Great British Bake Off final review: Nude baking, Noel? It's a surprise it's not been on Channel 4 already, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS Sophia Bush posts 'toxic relationship' meme after ex-husband Chad Michael Murray sidestepped allegations he cheated on Erin Foster with her The Sea Hurricane was a rebuilt Mark 1 with 1939 performance deployed in 1941. The Seafire was a navalised 1941-era Mark V Spitfire deployed in 1943. Both were outclassed by both the Oscar and the Zero.

Great British Bake Off winner Matty Edgell reveals he is engaged togirlfriend Lara following final where he was named champion Dua Lipa puts on an edgy style display in Matrix-inspired all-leather ensemble in NYC - as star 'plans a stadium tour for 2024' Snow could hit London this weekend: Met Office forecaster says there's a chance of 'wide snowfall' across the capital - as Brits in North England and Scotland wake up to snow after temperatures plunged below zero
He added: "There was a need to review the systemic issues that were causing a shorter Return of Service for BAME Officers than their colleagues." WW1 traumatised a civilian population which had known peace since 1815. Hardly anyone could complate war up to 1939. Pacifism slowly changed to defeatism. People like Vera Brittain who had served as as a nurse in WW1 had her fiancee, the next man she planned to marry, her brother and her brother’s best friend killed in WW1. Trying to increase defence exoenditure until September 1939 was impossible. How Omid Scobie has reignited 'racist royal' row after Harry and Meghan distanced themselves from it By 1941, the supposedly secret Euthanasia Program is generally known about in Germany. Bishop Clemens August Graf von Galen of Muenster denounces the killings in a public sermon on August 3, 1941. Other public figures and clergy will also raise objections to the killings. Sam Thompson reveals 'plans to quit television' following successful stint in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungleThe bill for all these mistakes was always going to come in eventually. The result was defeat in France, the western desert, and the Far East. Yes, there was Alamein, but it was timed to start at the same time as the invasion of Tunisia, so that if Rommel moved west to deal with that, it could be painted as Monty’s victory. Alamein also relied on US armour as the home-made stuff was so lamentably poor.
EastEnders fans cry out in horror as Nish finally discovers Suki's affair with Eve after seeing them share a kiss: 'It sent chills down my spine!' They were wrong. Thinly spread out in isolated rural compounds, or “platoon houses”, British troops were besieged by waves of Taliban fighters, and only avoided being overrun through devastating use of air power, which in turn alienated the civilians whose homes it destroyed. Along with a desperate need to avoid casualties, the reliance on short-ranged patrols, magnets for Taliban ambushes and bogged down by IEDs, meant that the Army could never retain tactical dominance in the countryside, let alone gain the strategic initiative. The evidence of white men having been disadvantaged by RAF recruitment practices appears to contrast with comments by Air Chief Marshal Wigston to MPs on the defence select committee in February. I'm A Celebrity bosses reveal Nella Rose's future on the show after she was rushed out of camp to see medics Evan Ellingson's cause of death revealed: My Sister's Keeper star died from accidental fentanyl overdose at age 35
Neymar splits from Bruna Biancardi a month after welcoming their first child together amid claims he 'asked OnlyFans star for nudes' I don’t particularly see a problem with the army moving from the kind which was designed to fight large scale conventional battles of the Cold War to a much smaller more tactically flexible one, capable of small scale, high impact interventions in potential future hot spots. Basra has been very hard for the British Army. ‘The siege of Kut Al Amara’, (WWI, up the river from the army based at Basra) a book very worth reading, ended in one of the large disasters of the British Army, and their Batan Death March. The Murder of People with Disabilities Many Germans did not want to be reminded of individuals who did not measure up to their concept of a "master race" and were considered "unfit" or "handicapped." People with physical and mental disabilities were viewed as "useless" to society, a threat to Aryan genetic purity, and, ultimately, "unworthy of life." At the beginning of World War II, individuals with mental or physical disabilities were targeted for murder in what the Nazis called the "T-4," or "euthanasia," program. This meant they were offered employment - a place on a course - prior to undertaking a pass or fail fitness test, the source said. By contrast, before being offered employment, white men would be required to pass the fitness test first.
