27 分钟A bonus episode from The Global Story podcast. On this episode, we’re covering two very different stories. After the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack on a concert hall in Moscow, we’re revisiting a previous episode asking how much of a threat the group still pose. Mina al-Lami from BBC Monitoring tells us that the groups fortunes fell in 2023, with them claiming far fewer attacks. And Josh Baker from The Shamima Begum Story podcast joins us to explain why they still pose a credible threat. Previous episode: Islamic State group – spent force or present threat? https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0h42vkq Also, as spring approaches in the United States, millions of young people are heading off on spring break. But some cities have had enough of student revellers unwinding and the chaos that can arrive with them. Terry Ward, a travel writer and BBC contributor tells us what it’s like to go on spring break. And Beatriz Diaz from BBC Mundo explains why Miami is discouraging spring breakers. The Global Story brings you trusted insights from BBC journalists worldwide.

Today we're talking about two stories, two really different stories.
Our planned episode today is about spring break in the US how the good times have become too much for the city of Miami, specifically Miami Beach.
They've been telling some people to stay away and we'll be getting into that a little bit later.
First, though, the horrific concert attack in Russia.
The Islamic State group said four of its members carried out the attack after gunman stormed a concert hall in Moscow on Friday, killing more than 100 people.
We've discussed IS previously here on the Global Story, and we wanted to share a part of that previous episode that was titled Islamic State Group Spent Force or Present Threat.
It has some really interesting insights on IS and is very relevant to the Moscow attack.
We thought back in January.
I was talking to Mina Alami, a jihadist media specialist with BBC Monitoring.
She keeps a close eye on the comms and propaganda of Islamic State Group.
And to Josh Baker, the journalist behind the Shamima begin story, part two of the I'm Not a Monster series, the BBC's most awarded podcast about a young British girl seduced into joining Islamic State Group and who sparked a fierce debate in the UK about her wish to come home.
Josh has interviewed IS members, victims of their crimes, and in 2016 he narrowly survived an IS suicide bombing himself.
Islamic State group were once all over the news, but we've heard a lot less about them since 2019 when they lost their stronghold in Syria.
So I was asking Josh and Mina about the the status of the group in 2024.
