From the transcript

Welcome back to the Situation Room, the weekly show The One Day hopes to feature in the opening montage of humanity's personal post-apocalyptic movie, with my face being the last thing anyone sees before we cut to black in the words… 13 years later, appear ominously on screen.

I'm Simon Whistler, and this week we're diving into the endless wars in the Congo, and Sudan, while also honouring into the factional politics in northern Iraq's Kurdish region. And if that wasn't enough excavation-based metaphors for you, we're first shoveling statefuls of knowledge at you as we attempt to uncover an answer to the burning question.

Is Britain about to plunge into civil war, okay? As always, time steps are below, and now let's take the first question, the next British Civil War. Hydrating for this one is going to be important.
