“The Undeclared War” is a hit-or-miss affair.The new espionage drama, premiering Thursday on Peacock, does a lot of “throat clearing” and takes a long-ish time to get to the point — but once it does, the six-episode series offers a healthy dose of twists and turns that, if not riveting, resonate with the current geopolitical climate.The timeframe here is the near-future. It’s April 12, 2024 in London when Britain’s GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) is hit with a cyberattack that shuts down virtually the country’s entire online and telecommunications footprint — save for social media.
Scots band The Ronains receive death threat from Russia after featuring Putin on their album cover

Scots band The Ronains received a death threat from Russia after their new single artwork for Lunatics featured an image of Vladimir Putin.
The band, whose new track questions how society labels those with mental health issues, had decided to use images of Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Vladimir Putin, Joe Biden, North Korean Kim Jong-Un and other world leaders to question what real insanity might look like.
They suggested Putin and his peers might be better suited to an asylum than others with mental health issues - and couldn’t believe it when they received a death threat from a Russian Facebook user. The message they received privately said: “Watch your drinks you Ukrainian British f***, we know what you look like and will track you. Russia forever”.
Jim Ronain of the band, which also has members Debi, Linzi, and Ciaran, said: “We always like to question the norm and have a bit of a laugh at other people’s expense so we put out the artwork to accompany our single for its release next month, but we couldn’t believe it when we got a message in Russian from someone who took our message way too seriously.
“It’s actually really scary, particularly because they said they know what we look like. With us gigging and touring they could access us at any time really and we are concerned because we do like a drink, and don’t always think about what we are gulping down.”He added: “We actually have filed a police report on the matter because it is considered a serious threat.”
The Ronains, who count Peaky Blinders Tommy Flanagan amongst their famous fans, received a further blow when the artwork for the song which has been mastered by U2 and Oasis producer John Davis, got banned from all outlet stores, Spotify, TikTok, Amazon, FB,
