一 | British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace wants a major hike in armed forces spending in response to the conflict in Ukraine.,The BBC reported that Wallace will call on Chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak to raise defense spending from around two per cent of GDP — the NATO target figure — to 2.5 percent.,The minister is expected to make comments to that effect when he addresses the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) Land Warfare Conference in Westminster later on Tuesday, before flying to Madrid for the NATO summit there.,"The defense secretary is expected to emphasize that now that the threat has changed, governments must be prepared to invest to keep us safe," said a defense source quoted by Sky News.,"We do not comment on alleged leaks," another defense source insisted, adding: "The defense secretary and the prime minister have always said that the government will respond to any changes in threat, which is why in 2020 the Ministry of Defence received a record defense settlement.",Britain has sent a battalion-sized force of soldiers to Estonia in a bid to confront Russia, while supplying Ukraine with thousands of man-portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons, over 120 armored vehicles and three M270 multiple-launch rocket artillery systems.,Wallace claimed earlier in June that Western military aid was helping the Ukrainian military make "significant progress" in the east of the country against Russian and Donbass forces. But recent days saw the capture of the city of Severodonetsk and a string of smaller settlements in Lugansk, with up to 8,000 Ukrainian troops now trapped in Lisichansk.,British Chief of General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders told the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) conference on Tuesday morning that the crisis in Ukraine was "our 1937 moment" — a possible reference to then-prime minister Neville Chamberlain's simultaneous policy of appeasing towards Nazi Germany while re-arming Britain.,Sanders said his focus was on "mobilizing the army to meet the new threat we face", insisting: "The British Army is not mobilizing to provoke war, it is mobilizing to prevent war.",NATO Could Expand Eastern European Battlegroups to Brigade or Division-Size Forces: Report26 June, 15:49 GMT,The general called the scale of the conflict in Ukraine "unprecedented.","In all my years in uniform I haven't known such a clear threat to the principals of sovereignty and democracy and the freedom to live without fear of violence as the brutal aggression of President Putin and his expansionist ambitions," Sanders said.,"This is our 1937 moment," he added. "We are not at war but must act rapidly so that we aren't drawn into one through a failure to contain territorial expansion… I will do everything in my power to ensure that the British Army plays its part in averting war."。 
Peacock 的订阅价格将再次上涨。从 8 月 18 日起，新订阅用户或回归订阅者的价格将率先上调，现有订阅者的资费则将于 9 月 17 日起增加。具体价格调整如下：包含广告的 Peacock Premium 档位将调整为每月 12.99 美元（此前为 10.99 美元）；Peacock Premium Plus 档位将调整为每月 19.99 美元（此前为 16.99 美元）；价格最低但限制最多的 Peacock Select 档位将调整为每月 8.99 美元（此前为 7.99 美元）。这是该平台四年内的第四次涨价，上一次调价是在去年夏天。这一调价时机颇为耐人寻味，因为康卡斯特（Comcast）在最近的财报中表示，Peacock 历史上首次实现了盈利。但显然这还不够，价格依然再次上涨。不过这并不令人意外，各大流媒体平台都在不断上调价格，尽管这令用户感到非常沮丧。不过，这其中也有一个潜在的好处：Peacock Premium 将于 2027 年初加入 YouTube Premium，且无需额外费用。如果你经常使用 YouTube 或已经是 YouTube Premium 的订阅者，这可能比单独订阅 Peacock 更有价值。目前，YouTube Premium 不会因为这一服务的加入而涨价，但如果管理层认为有必要，未来情况可能会发生变化。
