This is surely think tank nirvana…! The BBC’s podcast studio with a buffet of pods-in-a-box! The missing one is #GlobalStory that we recorded today. Thanks to host Katya Adler and fellow guest Ben Chu Listen out on Thursday #RussiaMustPay

The latest from BBC News (UK) #GlobalStory in which we talk about 🇷🇺 Central Bank assets, and what’s to be done. Katya Adler Ben Chu #RussiaMustPay bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

Is this a cunning ruse to get British tourists to electrocute themselves in Italy!?!?

.British Airways reaches a new customer service low. According to the cabin crew on my 3.5 hour flight back from Athens ‘we’re only given enough food for the outbound flight so all we’ve got is porridge and crisps’… #Hangry

👇👇👇 Banks learnt to fear sanctions 10 years ago. Manufacturers and exporters still see increased sales as something to celebrate… It’s time London, Washington and EU capitals walked the talk and made some examples.

After three days in Berlin, I’m very depressed. So much discussion about the long term future without realising that the long term is a function of the near term and that requires URGENT action by Ukraine’s allies, not interminable roundtables and musings…

…and this from me in March… rusi.org/explore-our-re…

On POLITICOEurope today, how and why Britain and the EU should build a shared finance and security vision. From me and Dr Kinga Redlowska politico.eu/article/financ…

Hi @British Airways so far, the total delays on my past three flights with your airline are 16 hours… and counting.

#HIRING We have an exciting opportunity available for you to join The Centre for Finance and Security (CFS) at RUSI as a 'Russia Sanctions Implementation Project Officer' and support the team to deliver workshops and other events related to Russia sanctions. Apply on our website, and/or share with your network.

In December I travelled 100s of kilometres by train in Japan. Total delay: 2 minutes (a ‘significant’ delay, we were told by apologetic staff). In January an attempt to travel a few 100 kms by Eurostar = 10.5 hours delay, and counting…

.SWR Help here are today’s excuses for delayed and cancelled trains, so far: - train crew being delayed - a shortage of station staff - overrunning engineering works Do you have any other excuses ready to go (unlike your train service)?

.Timothy Ash we’d welcome your thoughts…

As night follows day, DT begins to wake up to reality… and no doubt next he’ll offer US oil as a tariff free alternative to the countries he threatens. ‘Trump threatens secondary tariffs on Russian oil if no deal on Ukraine’ via Financial Times giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

Thanks Steve Rosenberg for constantly shining a light on the headwinds faced by the Russian economy. For those looking for the impact of sanctions, these daily news snippets are invaluable!

“…the mood in the business community is getting worse.” Imagine if Europe really delivered on its threat of massive sanctions…
