World War Three? Biden's risky missile plan – Take That! Boybands reveal all – What’s behind the boredom epidemic?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Natasha explains Biden’s decision to lift the ban on Ukraine using long range US missiles, and reassures us that it (probably) won’t start World War 3. Gráinne has found an article in The Guardian all about 90s boy bands. Plus – Miranda corroborates The Times’ claim that young people would rather electrocute themselves than be bored.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Natasha Devon and comedian Gráinne Maguire.
