Russia could chop vital undersea web cables, warns Brit military chief • The Register
In a speech made to military think-tank the Royal United Services Institute last night, the air marshal said: "There's a new risk to our way of life, which is the vulnerability of cables which criss cross the sea beds. Can you imagine a scenario where those cables are cut or disrupted? Which would immediately and potentially catastrophically affect our economy and other ways of living if they were disrupted."
Peach was giving the annual Chief of the Defence Staff Lecture, in which he talks about topical defence, security and geopolitical issues. He specifically highlighted Russia as the most likely nation state that might go around cutting cables and causing chaos."

The pig farmer taking on Tesco - BBC News
But Mr Baugh says he's been forced to change the name of his business after Tesco rebranded its own label pork products as "Woodside Farms".
He's now threatening legal action if the supermarket giant doesn't drop its new branding.
"What bothers me the most is it's not necessarily British food they're putting it on," says Mr Baugh, who's changed his business name to "Bofs Hogs" to differentiate it from Tesco.
"It's European pork which sometimes isn't under our strict regulations."
A spokesperson for Tesco said the supermarket was not willing to comment, but in the past it has said the brands have been popular with customers."
