Note

The UN has thought of a new way to help Syrians. Have a concert thousands of miles in the opposite direction in New York. Bear in mind that the mandate of the organization is the protection of international peace and security. But short of that, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says: "The casualties are many and growing. We risk an entire generation of children being scarred for life. Tonight our thoughts are with the children of Syria. I hope the moving music on tonight's programme can help to move hearts and minds so we can end the suffering." The note not heard round the world.
