Welcome to the first episode of Dispatch, a weekly podcast looking at the biggest stories in the Middle East, North Africa and beyond.

This week we talk about Israel's clampdown on Ultra-Orthodox communities in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus, the sudden resignation of Iraq's second prime minister nominee in less than 10 weeks, and the UK government's turbulent fight with Covid-19 takes its toll, with Boris Johnson admitted into intensive care.
