This episode of The Intelligence from The Economist covers two main topics: the disputed death toll in Gaza and the Church of England's decline. The discussion on Gaza features a data journalist explaining the challenges of accurately counting casualties due to the ongoing conflict and the unreliability of official figures, suggesting the actual number of deaths may be significantly higher than reported. A Middle East editor then discusses the implications of these figures, the complexities of assessing proportionality in warfare, and the shifting international view of the conflict. The second segment explores the Church of England's declining attendance and influence, its financial status, and the upcoming selection of a new Archbishop, highlighting the challenges facing the church in modern Britain, including its stance on social issues and the weakening ties between the church and the crown. Additionally, the episode includes a segment on the health benefits and potential drawbacks of consuming juice shots.
