Recent escalations in the ever simmering tension between India and Pakistan brought us closer to conflict - conflict between two nuclear powers.

For a long time doctors have campaigned for nuclear disarmament, and Chris Zielinski, president of the World Association of Medical Editors, makes the case for returning WHO's mandate to measure the potential impact of nuclear war.

Also the militarization of the region is detrimental to the health and wellbeing of the populations in both India and Pakistan. co-chairs of The BMJ's South Asia editorial board, Sanjay Nagral and Zulfiqar Butta, explain why a focus on the daily material and health needs of citizens is the way to change political rhetoric in the region.

Gordon Guyatt, distinguished professor at McMaster University, was one of the people responsible for starting GRADE - which is a structured system for assessing the quality of evidence in systematic reviews and clinical practice guideline. Gordon thinks that process has become too complicated - so he’s now championing “Core GRADE”. He joins us to explain why.
