Into the Grey Zone

Into the Grey Zone — Sky News podcast explores how warfare is evolving

Posted Filed under

Starting Monday January 11 a new nine-part Sky News podcast Into the Grey Zone will examine modern warfare from cyber attacks to assassinations

Foreign Affairs Editor Deborah Haynes and her team as explore the space between war and peace, where no one is too unimportant to be a target. Discover the covert tactics used by states, criminals and terrorist groups to deceive, gain influence and – at times – kill.

Sky News looks into this often invisible battlefield, where anything can be – and is – used as a weapon, from computer hacks and disinformation to assassinations and intimidation.

With world-exclusive interviews with spies and military chiefs, the series offers chilling insight into a murky evolution of warfare that, as the series demonstrates, could unravel the world’s democracies “without a shot being fired”.

Starting Monday January 11, a new episode will be available each week. Items covered include elections, cyber attacks and an assessment of the future, including a look at the possibilities of AI taking centre stage. The final episode will air on 4th March 2021, the third anniversary of one of the most high-profile grey zone attacks on the UK – the attempted murder of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, and the fake news that followed.
