Truth vs Lies | Grey Zone Ep 2

This episode explores a battle between truth and lies that’s threatening democracies around the world. It looks at how information is used as a weapon, not just by hostile foreign states, seeking to divide and weaken rival nations, but also by domestic politicians and other actors. Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes speaks to the author of a book on the history of disinformation, Professor Thomas Rid , who talks about fake news during the Cold War and warns about the risk of political violence today when people can no longer agree on facts. It’s a warning that played out on the streets of Washington DC in January when supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol building, spurred on by a false belief that Joe Biden had stolen his way to victory in the 2020 presidential election. Deborah also visits one of the UK’s best-known fighters of suspected Russian and Chinese fake news, who battles online trolls from his remote cottage in Scotland. And if you think that sounds strange, remember, in the grey zone, the frontline is everywhere! Interviews: Thomas Rid, professor of strategic studies at Johns Hopkins University, author of Active Measures – the secret history of disinformation and political warfare Linas Linkevicius, foreign minister of Lithuania until December 2020 Keir Giles, author of a handbook on Russian information warfare for NATO, senior consulting fellow at Chatham House Daniel Jones, founder and president of Advance Democracy Ben Nimmo, head of investigations at Graphika Ben Wallace, United Kingdom’s defence secretary Kate Jones, director of Oxford University’s diplomatic studies programme. Credits: Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris Scott Production support from Sophia McBride and Victoria Seabrook Additional voices provided by Cayetano Delgado The head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris

Hack & Leak | Grey Zone Ep 3

This episode looks at the grey zone weapon of hacking information – like private emails or documents – and then leaking it online to try to influence people or damage reputations. It is a tactic Russia’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, is accused of using to target the US presidential election in 2016 and the French election in 2017. Moscow has denied involvement. Sky News journalist Deborah Haynes also talks about how she was impacted in a suspected hack and leak against a British organisation that ran a programme, called the Integrity Initiative, aimed at countering suspected Russian disinformation. Interviews: Paul Chichester, director of operations at the National Cyber Security Centre Chris Donnelly, founder of the Institute for Statecraft “Hawk”, a Lithuanian man, who volunteers as an “elf” to fight the online “trolls” Keir Giles, author of a handbook on Russian information warfare for NATO, senior consulting fellow at Chatham House Thomas Rid, professor of strategic studies at Johns Hopkins University, author of Active Measures – the secret history of disinformation and political warfare Ben Nimmo, head of investigations at Graphika Credits: Written and narrated by Deborah Haynes Edited and produced by Chris Scott Additional voice provided by Matt Steele The head of Sky News Radio is Dave Terris
