Signals

The news that reaches your front door.

Each week we scan the news for the stories that matter to ordinary people: hybrid threats, disinformation, civilians in war, disasters and the money behind security. Then we explain them plainly and link every source.

How we pick signals

A story makes the list when it shows how modern threats reach civilians, or what people and governments are doing about it. We report what was said and by whom, link to the original, and say when something is unconfirmed. Signals are context, not alarm. Where a story connects to an episode, we point to it.
