This year is on track to be among the deadliest on record for aid workers around the world. Nearly 200 have been killed so far, compared with 280 last year. Local staff are the most frequent targets, as experts say they bear much of the responsibility for delivering aid but “usually do not have access to the same level of security, training, and protection as international staff.” The most dangerous places for aid groups are Gaza, Sudan, and South Sudan. The director of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said there has been “an erosion and disrespect of the established norms” that used to protect aid workers in conflict zones.

The activist who engineered the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is launching a $1 billion effort to “crush” liberal America. Leonard Leo, who helped build a pipeline of conservative judges, wants to do something similar for “talent and capital” in news and entertainment. With a network of nonprofits and a $1.6 billion donation at his disposal, Leo intends to invest in a local media company. He will also support campaigns against companies, financial institutions, and public agencies that have diversity policies or socially responsible investing practices.
