And, of course, what's particularly noticeable in Gaza is the intermingling of civilians throughout the conflict. And that presumably ups the risk of increased resistance.

Dom, it's absolutely fascinating what you say, because I have to say, I hadn't thought for a moment about, you know, war as an accelerant for antimicrobial resistance. And yet what Abdul Jalil said, what you just say about Gaza, it's clearly happening. Is there anything that can be done to slow the rate or the increase in the rate of AMR in war zones?

And really, really challenging when the war zone is spread throughout society rather than being a battlefield or a front line. What about in civilian medicine, leaving the war zones for the moment to one side? How can sort of best practice help limit antimicrobial resistance among civilians?

We talked about the growth of antimicrobial resistance in war zones. And you mentioned, you know, that you were pretty pleased you weren't in a part of the world where there were diseases that had become resistant to antimicrobial drugs. It begs the question, how much of a global problem is this really? Or is it more about bad luck you've been born there, bad luck you happen to be in a war zone?

MI5 normally have a very clear policy that they will neither confirm nor deny whether somebody is an agent. And the courts have always respected it because of the need to protect agents. To get it wrong reduces the trust of the judiciary in what is said to them by an intelligence agency. And the need to maintain that complete trust between government and the courts is absolutely essential.
