    Nicholas Blanford: Hezbollah’s Struggle Against Israel

    This week on Babel, Jon Alterman speaks with Nicholas Blanford, a Beirut-based security consultant, the author of two books on Lebanon, and a non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. They talk about Hezbollah’s evolution, its ties to other actors in the region, and the role the group is playing in the current Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Then, Jon continues the conversation with Will Todman and Leah Hickert to discuss Hezbollah’s deep roots in Lebanese society and the organization’s future.

    “Pregnant? We can help.”

    When Brandi David discovered she was pregnant, she knew she wanted an abortion. Brandi was a graduate student at the time and didn’t feel ready to be a mother. She wasn’t sure where to go for help. But then she remembered a billboard at a busy intersection in South Bend, Indiana that she had driven by many times. It said: “Pregnant? We can help.” So she called the number. What happened to Brandi next… well, that’s what brings us to Indiana–the last stop on our cross-country trip where we investigate how states spend federal welfare dollars.  If you’re curious about how your state spends federal welfare dollars, check out this online tool from Marketplace. Welcome back to “The Uncertain Hour,” the Wealth & Poverty desk’s new podcast hosted by Senior Correspondent Krissy Clark.

    Hezbollah’s Digital Footprint

    40 years ago this week, Hezbollah blew up the barracks of U.S. Marine and French military peacekeepers in Beirut, killing about 300 people. The group continues to carry out attacks, but has developed the means to complement and support these real-life operations through online activities. Hezbollah was one of the first non-state actors to build up a digital presence to conduct cyber operations against its enemies. The group also uses some unconventional means to recruit and radicalize followers and engages in cyber attacks and sleuthing targeting its enemies. Today, Hezbollah even produces its own first-person shooter video games in which gamers kill Israeli soldiers to promote its vision of the world to impressionable youth. This week, we shine our spotlight on Hezbollah’s digital footprint.  Guests: Galen Lamphere-Englund, co-founder, Extremism and Gaming Research Network. Alma Keshavarz, official, U.S. Cyber Command. Douglas London, former official, Clandestine Service, CIA.  Breaking Hezbollah’s Golden Rule is hosted by Dr. Matthew Levitt from the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.   It is produced by Anouk Millet from Earshot Strategies, and written by Dr. Levitt, Lauren von Thaden, and Camille Jablonski, research assistants at The Washington Institute. Explore my map and timeline of Hezbollah’s Worldwide activities. For a full transcript of the episode, a list of sources, recommended reading, and information on our guests, visit our website.

    رحلة داخل منظومة الإسعاف السعودية

    يتعامل الإسعاف مع أخطر لحظات الإنسان، وتقع على عاتقه مهام ثقيلة لا تحتمل الخطأ، من تقدير خطورة المكالمات وترتيب الأولويات، إلى إرسال سيارة الإسعاف والبدء بالعلاج.  ضيف هذه الحلقة رئيس هيئة الهلال الأحمر السعودي، جلال العويسى، للحديث عن المنظومة الإسعافية في السعودية، والتحوّل الجذري فيها. يأخذنا العويسى في رحلة الإسعاف كاملة، من لحظة الاتصال وتلقّي البلاغ، إلى وصول سيارة الإسعاف بالمصاب إلى المستشفى، كم يستغرق وصول الإسعاف؟ وعلى أي أساس يُحدَّد مستشفى الاستقبال؟ ولماذا تستغرق الرحلة إلى المستشفى أكثر من أربعين دقيقة أحيانًا، رغم أن وصول السيارة قد لا يتجاوز عشر دقائق؟  يقول الضيف إن الاستجابة تبدأ من لحظة الاتصال بـ 997، لا من عند وصول سيارة الإسعاف، حيث يتولى المرحِّل الطبي دور المسعف الأول، يقيّم الحالة، يوجّه المتصل، ويحدّد أولوية التدخل، لكن كيف تُحدد الحالات الخطرة؟ متى تُرسل سيارة الإسعاف؟ وكيف تُفرَز المكالمات أصلًا؟ إذ يقول إنهم يستقبلون نحو خمسة عشر ألف مكالمة في اليوم الواحد! حلقة إنسانية رائعة، تكشف ما يحدث خلف مكالمات وحالات الإسعاف التي نراها من بعيد. مستجيب - تطبيق مهم يربط أي شخص يواجه حالة طبية طارئة، أو يشهد حادثًا أو إصابة، بأقرب مزود خدمة إسعافية. ــــ • حمّل تطبيق «راديو ثمانية». • فرصة للمهتمين: فريق سقراط يبحث عن أشخاص شغوفين للعمل معه. لو مهتم، قدّم عبر الرابط. • تابع أخبار الكرة وسياقاتها أولًا بأول في نشرة «مصدر مطلع» • المربع الجديد بوابة إلى عالَمٍ آخر.

    Everything but the kitchen sink

    What do college scholarships, marriage counseling classes and crisis pregnancy centers have in common? In some states, they’re funded by federal welfare dollars. We are continuing our cross-country tour where we drop in on states to investigate how they spend welfare money, known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families or TANF.  This week: Michigan.  The state spends about $100 million a year in TANF dollars on college scholarships—and many recipients are from families that earn more than $100,000 year. Meanwhile, just 18 out of every 100 families living in poverty receives basic cash assistance. If you’re curious about how your state spends federal welfare dollars, check out this online tool from Marketplace.

    The Iranian 'Escalation Trap': Gen. Joseph Votel

    Michael is joined by Gen. (Ret.) Joseph Votel, former CENTCOM Commander, to examine the high-pressure maneuvering between Washington and Tehran amid the recently extended Mideast ceasefire. Gen. Votel warns of a looming "escalation trap" as the US and Iran navigate a delicate truce. He also provides a candid assessment of a potential second round of negotiations in Islamabad and explains why the US must now work harder than ever on the diplomatic and strategic communications fronts to avoid a return to full-scale hostilities.

    What’s love (styles) got to do with it?

    What do you think of when you think of welfare? Probably something along the lines of help or money given to families living in poverty.  Or, work requirements to receive assistance. But actually, in 2014 only 23 out of every 100 poor families received basic cash assistance. That’s partly because states have a lot of discretion in deciding how to spend federal welfare block grants, known as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, or TANF. States spend welfare money on the obvious things, like childcare and work-related activities. They also spend a significant chunk on some very surprising things, which you can see using this online tool from Marketplace. We took a trip to Oklahoma to hang out in a marriage class for middle-income couples, funded by — you guessed it —  your taxpayer dollars.
