Over the past few years, an overwhelming amount of empirical research has shown the harmful effects of screens on learning, particularly for young children. You can throw a rock in a bookstore and hit a book packed with the evidence. Take Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation, Jared Cooney Horvath’s The Digital Delusion, or Michel Desmurget’s Screen Damage. While theirs were once fringe views, there is a large and growing awareness among parents and educators that is quite difficult to ignore. Many now know: the iPad is not an ideal medium for reading, note-taking, or completing assessments. Reading on paper tends to yield better comprehension than reading on screens. Writing by hand requires forms of cognitive and motor engagement that typing does not. The presence and use of laptops can distract students and interfere with classroom learning. Completing an analogue essay generates formative friction and enables a more reliable assessment of student competence and command of language. Not to mention, policing iPads and Chromebooks has proven to be an endless and ever-changing classroom management issue with no end in sight.

A Russian man secretly working for Ukraine's intelligence services has shared videos of surveillance work he says he has done for Kyiv inside Russia. The man, who we are calling Ivan, claims to have played a role in Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bombers and munitions factories on his home soil. He features in a BBC World Service documentary about the shadowy world of Russian saboteurs. Ivan was cautious about how much detail he shared, making it impossible to verify the activities he claims to have carried out.56 minutes ago

One of the men, whom we are calling Ivan, claims to have played a role from Russia in Ukrainian drone attacks on strategic bombers and munitions factories on his home soil. He features in a BBC World Service documentary about the shadowy world of Russian saboteurs. The documentary, by independent Polish journalist Marcin Mamon, also features a man we are calling Foma, a Russian living in exile in Poland. Foma runs a network of undercover volunteers in Russia, that surveils high-level officers that the GUR - Ukraine's military intelligence service - is considering targeting, he says. He stresses they are never involved in the attacks themselves.
