 Subversion, Russia and the West
Complaints that Russia interfered in America’s presidential election are only the latest chapter in a much longer story. Both Moscow and the West have engaged in political subversion over the last 100 years, in an attempt to undermine the other.

BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera tells the stories behind a struggle which still dominates – and often poisons – relations between the East and the West (BBC)

The Big Brief
Zita Adamson spends a week with Bishop Dickson Chilongani, Bishop of Central Tanganyika in Tanzania, as he goes about his work ministering to both the spiritual and practical needs of his many parishioners. His territory is the largest Anglican diocese in the world with 700,000 Christians in 265 parishes. What is it about this modest, unassuming man that won him a landslide victory in a country where Episcopal victories are normally hotly contested? And why did he lose all his friends on the day he became bishop?
