World order at risk, spy chiefs of US, UK warn

In rare joint op-ed, heads of CIA and MI6 call growing alliance between Russia, China, Iran and North Korea as 'troubling'

CIA Director Bill Burns and UK MI6 chief Richard Moore warned on Saturday that the world order was "under threat in a way we haven't seen since the cold war".

Writing in a Financial Times op-ed, the two spy chiefs said "we have no more trusted or esteemed allies" than each other, adding that the partnership would be vital as they "face an unprecedented array of threats", chiefly from Russia, China and in the West Asia.
