About this listen

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised billions for the UK armed forces after two decades that have seen a massive drop in troop numbers. But it comes as many young people say they’re not willing to fight for their country.

As the world becomes more dangerous how much can really be done to reverse the decline and make sure the country is ready to fight? Martin and Laura hear from former Royal Marine and TV presenter JJ Chalmers.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
