We speak to Mouenes Kalakesh, the Director of south Lebanon’s Marjayoun Governmental Hospital, one of the hospitals forced to close. Also in the programme: We’ll hear from the widow of the man who died during the failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump in July; and the European Union slaps punitive tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles.

The WNBA playoffs are underway, capping a record-breaking season: The league added teams, games saw the highest attendance ever, and television viewership skyrocketed.

Host Elahe Izadi speaks with sports reporters Kareem Copeland and Ava Wallace about how the “Clark effect” has transformed the WNBA on and off the court. Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Reena Flores. It was mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Mark Selig. Sign up for the Sports Moment newsletter here . Subscribe to The Washington Post here .
