Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating 5 feet above ground, sun on your face as you slide by on track to your destination.

Not a car in the world, as you simply lean back. And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel, and on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast, feel good travel.

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

Now, coming up on today's podcast, we were hoping to bring you our latest focus group,

but in the circumstances, that seems a bit weird.

So what I thought we'd do is bring you some of the best interviews from the Times Video Show today

on the terrible situation in Ukraine.

So in a moment, we will hear from James Johnson, who carried out our latest focus group,

on what public opinion is on the situation in Ukraine.

We'll also hear from a Welsh politician who's got family in Ukraine, a YouTuber who's currently in Ukraine,

waving off her friends who are getting to the front line.

And Tom's got a mis Daniel Finkelstein talking about his family connections to Ukraine,

and his sense of what Britain can or can't do in response to value me a Putin's invasion.

But first, as ever, we'll kick off with our economist panel.

On a Thursday, it's the duo we call Night at the Marriott.

This is India Night and James Marriott.

What's your sense this morning, India?

I'm feeling pretty grim, too. I apologise, by the way, for not...

You should have bumped us and got in, I don't know, professors of European history.

We will be doing that as well.
