It also explores how the industry can attract a new generation of talent, including more women into traditionally male-dominated STEM fields.
Mr Sheta discusses the role of education and training in preparing the next generation for these jobs, as well as how digital technology and AI can be used to cre...

- Description
- When the US announced it was imposing new sanctions on Iran late last month, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the aim was to sever every economic lifeline “until Tehran stands alone”.
The burden will also fall on Iran-backed groups across the region. For Hezbollah in Lebanon, the sanctions deal yet another blow after its war with Israel, the fall of the Assad regime in Syria and the fallout from the US-Iran conflict.
Before the war, Iran’s funding to Hezbollah was about $700 million a year, according to the US State Department. Now, Washington has designated Hezbollah a terrorist group under Iranian control as part of its economic-pressure campaign.
But the consequences could be felt by some southern Lebanese communities that depend on the group for their livelihoods and for reconstruction support after the ruinous conflict.
In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher asks whether Hezbollah can survive if it ...
