New MI6 chief identifies Russia as an urgent threat

Great Britain is facing a "new era of uncertainty" where "the front line is everywhere." The new head of the British intelligence service, formerly known as MI6, is expected to say this in a speech later on Monday.

Several media outlets have seen Blaise Metreweli's speech in advance. It is her first speech since taking office this year.

In the speech, Metreweli is expected to address Russia as an urgent threat and warn that Britain could be exposed to cyberattacks and new assassination plots, similar to the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury in 2018.

"Exporting chaos is a deliberate part of Russia's way of acting internationally - it is not a mistake," the written speech says.
