Hello, this is the Red Box Podcast. I'm Matt Chauley.

Now, what's the point of the UN?

As the war in Ukraine continues,

the police and the UN Secretary-General

to give peace a chance, while they didn't work today.

So we'll ask, what is the point of the UN

at a time in Russia holds the rotating presidency

of the Security Council?

That's coming up in just a moment.

We kick off though, as ever, on a Tuesday with...

Meet the Cerberus of Colomists,

the Janus of Journalism,

and the ultimate political portman-toe of opinion.

Finkelvich, with Daniel Finkelstein and David Aronovich,

on Times Radio.

Very good morning to Daniel Finkelstein and John Smith and the studio.

Good morning, Danny. Good morning.

And beaming in from outer space

is David Aronovich.

Sorry, we on yet.

How are you, David?

I'm good. Thank you.
