We're just days away from CND's conference, The World We Want: A New Agenda for Peace and Justice! Amid rising nuclear threats, a growth in active conflicts, and the impact of climate breakdown risking more, we need fresh thinking on how we create genuine security and justice for all.

With CND Vice-President Jeremy Corbyn, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, arms trade expert and anti-Apartheid campaigner Andrew Feinstein, and CND Vice-President Roger McKenzie among our list of panelists, this conference will look at what is causing conflict in the world today. More importantly, it will discuss solutions, policies, and campaigns on how we change this for the better. See our full timetable here.

Saturday, 12 October, 10am to 5pm

Unfortunately we are unable to offer the opportunity to join the conference online. However, recordings of the opening and closing plenary sessions will be recorded and made available online.

The conference will finish with a drinks reception to mark the retirement of CND General Secretary, Kate Hudson. We hope to see you there.

Watch Threads with CND tonight!

A reminder that the 1984 apocalyptic docu-drama Threads will be aired on BBC 4 tonight. It's only the fourth time that the BBC has aired Threads in the film's 40 year history. Despite this, it has become a critically acclaimed classic for its harrowing and realistic portrayal of what survival in Britain would be like in the aftermath of a nuclear war.

Ahead of its start time at 10:15pm, the film's director and producer Mick Jackson shares the story of how the film was made.

Mick Jackson Remembers...Threads, BBC 4, 10:00pm
