Middle East War Week 3, Trump Messaging 'Winning', Voting Act

March Madness is here. The high-stakes, sudden-death college basketball 
tournament is a beloved tradition in American sports. For the players, 
it’s a chance to showcase the skills they’ve developed through years of 
hard training of the body and mind. In many cases, that push produces 
incredible feats of athletic performance. But an investigation by 
reporters Julia Haney and Elizabeth Santos has found instances in which 
athletes allege that the push from coaches goes too far. Emotional abuse
 by coaches, some athletes maintain, can cause lasting, even irreparable
 damage. On this episode of The Sunday Story, we hear from athletes who 
fought back.
*A warning that today’s story includes mentions of sexual and emotional abuse, suicide, bullying and includes explicit language.

Iran War, Political Violence in US, New Action on Housing Affordability

Israel struck central Beirut overnight and issued the first ever evacuation order for part of the capital, as Israel vows it will not stop until Hezbollah is defeated and nearly a million people are displaced in Lebanon alone.
The FBI is investigating two separate attacks as acts of terrorism — an armed man drove a car into a Michigan synagogue, and a gunman with a prior ISIS conviction opened fire in a Virginia university classroom, killing one person.
And the Senate passed the largest housing bill in decades with bipartisan support, including a ban on large corporations buying up single-family homes, but it faces an uncertain path with President Trump.

**Correction: In a previous audio version of this episode we mistakenly stated that car that drove into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan was packed with explosives.

Israel Bombs Beirut, Attacks In Michigan And Virginia, Housing Bill

Three commercial oil tankers were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. and Israeli airstrikes continue on Tehran — Iran may be losing the war in the air, but it is strangling one of the world's most vital waterways and shaking global markets. 
President Trump, who campaigned on bringing gas prices down, is now tapping the strategic petroleum reserve as the war drives prices up.
And the Pentagon has determined the U.S. is responsible for a missile strike on a girls school in Iran that killed at least 165 civilians on day one of the war — NPR has learned the school had been walled off from a nearby military base years before the strike.
