  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Nick Myers and at 13 hours GMT on Wednesday the 16th of July these are our main stories.

  • Israeli drones have attacked the Syrian military headquarters in Damascus.

  • So why the escalation now?

  • The threat of the Islamic State group in Ethiopia after more than 80 suspected members are arrested there.

  • 20 more Gazans die in a crush at a food point.

  • We ask why they're so deadly for the people they're supposed to help.

  • Also in this podcast, more companies are training younger employees how to behave in the office.

  • We get reaction.

  • I think maybe they think some of us are a bit erratic, a bit odd.

  • Not in a bad way.

  • Older colleagues, they're much more funnier than we are.

  • I feel like they have a more hardworking approach to us.

  • We all spend much more time on our phones than they do.

  • Israel has carried out a drone strike in the Syrian capital Damascus.

  • It hit the entrance of the Syrian military headquarters.

  • It comes after several days of fighting in the south of the country between tribal fighters loyal to the Syrian government and a militia from the Druze minority in which nearly 250 people are reported to have been killed.

  • Qadir Mahesh is an Israeli Druze politician and former member of the Israeli Knesset.

  • She says Druze in Syria need protecting.

  • Horrible visuals coming from Syria
