From Sunday Morning, 8:14 am on 18 May 2025

With the 80th Anniversary Commemorations of the end of World War II fresh in our minds, a new YouGov survey conducted in Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain shows between 41-55% of people think another world war is likely to occur within the next 5-10 years.

Waikato University's International Law professor Alexander Gillespie joins Jim to assess the prospect of another global conflict.
