A pandemic treaty at last agreed by the UN is an important step—even if the most desired signatory was absent (10:54). And a novel exhibition in London shows how to make the most of a museum's collection (18:22). Get a world of insights by subscribing to Economist Podcasts+.

  • The Economist.

  • Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

  • I'm your host, Jason Palmer.

  • Every weekday we provide a fresh perspective on the events shaping your world.

  • As we now all intimately know,

  • international cooperation during a pandemic is crucial to ending it.

  • We examine a new UN pandemic treaty, the most notable absence among its signatories,

  • and reasons to be grateful for a modest diplomatic win.

  • And in the world's biggest museums,

  • you know you're only seeing a fraction of the collection.

  • There's always more in a basement or a warehouse.

  • We report on a novel exhibition in London that should be replicated.

  • Let the public into the warehouse too.

  • But first...

  • There have long been questions about the distribution of aid in Gaza,

  • but this week they have piled up.

  • What amounted to a total Israeli blockade began in early March.

  • Last Monday, it was lifted and aid was supposed to flood in.

  • Question.

  • Why on that first day did only five lorries make it through?
