As the year wraps up, we're looking back at ten of the episodes that defined our year at The Take. This originally aired on January 13.

In Russia's war in Ukraine, the use of drones – for surveillance, correcting artillery fire and dropping weapons on the enemy – has become increasingly important, especially for the Ukrainian army.

The drones used so far are believed to have all been controlled by humans but experts say the technology for fully autonomous weapons exists. Are so-called ‘killer robots’ that take to the battlefield inevitable?

Around the world, there’s a vast population known as internally displaced people, forced by disaster or conflict to move within their countries. In 2022, that number hit a record high, according to the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Photographers have been the entire world’s lens into the Russia-Ukraine conflict for the past year. They’ve captured shocking scenes – from refugees and frontline battles, to portraits of bravery and resilience. But the photographers behind these images have also found themselves in the middle of an information war – to establish what’s really happening on the ground, and how this war will be seen in the future. 

In this episode: 

• Serhii Korovayny (@SerhiiKorovayny), Ukrainian photojournalist
• Natalie Keyssar (@NatalieKeyssar), freelance documentary photographer

Covid's on the wane but the battle against biomedical tyranny rages on. This regime might be the worst ticket ever. Yes, we should ban Russian oil but do this one thing as well. More election bombshells the media won't cover. The Patriot and outrages of the week.
