Are there any other countries that you can see with that kind of potential?

So it could be Nigeria.

It could be Indonesia.

And Ani, what about your part of the world?

We did a mini series on the rest is politics a few months ago now about the Arctic and the possibility that the Arctic is the place that lights the spark, not least because the so-called great powers are all engaged and all involved.

So two questions in one really, how realistic do you think that is that it could be the Arctic that kicks this off?

And secondly, the role of the middle powers like Norway, like Canada, like the UK in

What role should they be playing that they're currently not playing to try not to fall into the trap that you talked about before of the world not doing enough about the smaller conflicts?

And my final question relates to the picture of human rights and all the stuff that we used to say about China.

You'd see the succession of leaders go to China that all raise human rights.

And today we would raise the Uyghurs.

Am I right that part of the deal with China at the moment?

is that if you want to get on with them, you really got to be very, very careful about even raising those kinds of questions, which we used to do as a matter of course.

And is that a reflection of their own feeling of their own power now?
