Users of messaging service urged to immediately update to latest version.

The heightened tensions in the Middle East increase not only the possibility of a nuclear war, but also the risk of a tragic accident.

And that’s not just because the leader of one of the countries with a finger on the button is erratic and unpredictable. But President Donald Trump is not the only problem here.

If you don’t believe us, take a look at this list of close calls — many of which did not become known for years or decades.

I covered healthcare in Washington, DC, for a few years at the start of my journalism career. Back then, it was all about abstract policy for me, because, fortunately, I had not had any real experiences with the US healthcare system.

More recently — earlier this year to be precise — I got a much more intimate look at healthcare in action. Following open heart surgery and various complications, I was forced to spend nearly two months in a hospital — a large portion of that in the ICU.

Immigrants appear to be everywhere in America and, according to the two videos we present, this is not a bad thing. The narrator of the first one offers an engaging, well-documented overview of migration movements around the world, the way they are used by politicians, and their fate in the past and present. But he mostly focuses on the good effects of immigration on the US economy.
