Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm Jason Palmer.

Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.
The Church of England has got a growing problem with empty pews.
And it's selling off plenty of its lesser-used properties at knockdown prices.
And I bet you've seen juice shots on sale recently which claim to bring all manner of health benefits.
Our sceptical correspondent downs a few and explains whether they're worth it.
First up, though.
Israel says it lifted its 11-week blockade of Gaza,
allowing food and medical aid into the territory.
But the United Nations has found that none of that aid is being distributed.
Today,
one of our teams waited several hours for the Israeli green light to access the Karim Shalom area and collect the nutrition supplies.
Unfortunately, they were not able to bring those supplies into our warehouse.
Yesterday, the UN suggested 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours if aid did not reach them.
But later walked back that number.
How could it be calculated anyway?
It's been a year and a half of war.
