Today I learned that the first drum machine was invented in the 12th century by Ismail al-Jazari, the father of robotics, who created a automaton band that played instruments powered by the flow of water. It featured a drummer whose rhythm could be programmed via wooden pegs in slots.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

It seems possible that Musk was lying when he said Starlink won't work in Russia and that Russian troops don't use it.
Serial number of the Starlink unit on board a drone shot down by Ukrainians is intact though, so should be able to provide clarity on purchase:
