To the outside world, Thomas Sibick seemed to have it made. He was 35 years old with a master’s degree in public health and a good job as an administrator. He lived in a flat with his girlfriend in his home town of Buffalo, New York. His father Eugene was a successful dentist, his mother a teacher, and when Sibick and his three brothers were growing up they would spend school holidays in Florida or at the family’s second home in Canada.

This is a story about pain, the joy of it and how it can inspire. It involves disaster, triumph, a horse and nine days in a coma. From being paralysed to Paris, Georgie Brayshaw has already won. “You know if you’re in pain you’re giving your absolute all,” says the world champion rower in her bouncy Yorkshire accent. “That’s what you want out of this sport. You want to give part of your soul.”Brayshaw’s status as an Olympian is good for the soul, because it has taken a lot.

The Ukrainian drone crews kill Russian soldiers in different ways, and say different things as they do so. In the darkness of a summer night, the remote operators of the Vampire hexacopters follow a precise set of instructions before dropping their bombs on the enemy’s infantrymen. Yet when the kamikaze FPV drone teams kill, there is a heated rush of words as they send their explosives-packed craft hurtling down onto the Russian forces.

It is just before dawn and I am one of dozens of staff arriving to start our shifts at HMP Bedford. Walking through the prison’s front door, I flash an ID to someone on reception and then carry on walking, straight through security. I pass a stack of trays — the kind used in airports for the x-ray baggage scanners — but no one is using them, and the prison’s scanner appears to be switched off.

An urgent investigation has begun into prison security after an undercover journalist was hired at one of the country’s most dangerous jails and was then able to walk inside and interact with prisoners without security searches. Last month a Times reporter was hired by an agency to work at HMP Bedford amid a nationwide staffing shortage. On two out of eight days that he worked at the prison, there was no one manning the security scanners at the front entrance when he arrived for work.
