YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMI5 has been left “stretched” as the growing threat from Russia distracts from counter-terrorism efforts, according to its chief.
The UK’s intelligence agency has been forced to move its focus from counterterrorism to the threat posed by Russia and its allies, Ken McCallum, the director-general of MI5, said.
Britain is facing a once-in-a-generation challenge, he warned, as he laid out the “grander and more sophisticated attacks” from hostile states across the globe.
In a conversation seen by the Times, Mr McCallum said the UK only has “finite” recourses and has been forced to make “uncomfortable choices” in recent years.
“We now face much, much more aggression from nation-states,” the intelligence chief said.
Ali Miraj is joined by former Attorney General Dominic Grieve to discuss the matter.
