UN says funding suspension threatens its work

The head of the United Nations has pleaded with Western governments to "at least continue" funding the operations of the UN agency in Gaza.

Also in the programme: what should we expect at the UN after this week's ruling by the International Criminal Court; and how Ukraine fights Russia on the disinformation front.

Joining Julian Worricker on the programme are Matina Stevis-Gridneff, the Brussels bureau chief for the New York Times, and Ukrainian-born author and journalist Yaroslav Trofimov.
