William Sanderson-Meyer has been watching South African politicians for more than three decades. His verdict on John Steenhuisen's News24 interview is unsparing: it was a ransom note. Not a whistleblower's disclosure, not a principled stand — a threat, published in the open, by a man who cannot accept his own demotion and needs the DA to find him a way out. WSM traces the damage: a personal financial hit of half a million rand a year, severed relationships, a tainted brand, and a party now forced to choose between quietly paying him off or risking a public war three months before a local government election. Either outcome, WSM argues, tells you exactly who is really running the DA. Also today: National Treasury pulls funding from 65 municipalities including Johannesburg, Shell sells its South African forecourts to Abu Dhabi's ADNOC, and 91's founders buy their own shares.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, US President Donald Trump heads to the Nato summit in Turkey, where Iran, defence spending and support for Ukraine are expected to dominate discussions. European allies are also expected to outline new contributions to security in the Strait of Hormuz. In Iran, millions of mourners are expected to take part in the funeral procession for former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as a week of ceremonies continues before his burial in Mashhad. We also look ahead to a landmark visit to Damascus, where French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to become the first European Union leader to visit Syria since President Ahmad Al Shara came to power, with talks focused on investment, reconstruction and regional co-operation. In business, Adnoc launches a new global LNG marketing and trading platform in Abu Dhabi as it expands its role in international energy markets and prepares to significantly increase its liquefied natural gas exports. And the UAE takes another step in its digital economy, with the country's dirham-backed stablecoin becoming available on regulated trading platforms, making digital payments more accessible for consumers and businesses.

Svojo kariero je začel na Fakulteti za strojništvo v laboratoriju LFDT (Laboratorij za fluidno dinamiko in termodinamiko), kjer se je ukvarjal s področjem termodinamike in dinamike fluidov. Že več kot 12 let živi in dela v Združenih arabskih emiratih, kjer kot poslovni direktor za Bližnji vzhod pri irskem proizvajalcu industrijske opreme Combilift razvija logistične in materialno-transportne rešitve za številne industrije, med drugim prehransko industrijo, oil & gas sektor, logistiko in skladiščenje, železarne ter pristanišča. V tem času je sodeloval pri številnih pomembnih industrijskih projektih v regiji.

Ta projekt, izveden leta 2018 v ZAE, je bil eden prvih tovrstnih avtomatiziranih logističnih sistemov v regiji. Pri svojem delu sodeluje z nekaterimi največjimi podjetji na svetu, kot so Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, DP World, DSV, ter z vodilnimi oil & gas podjetji, ki črpajo nafto v regiji, in podjetji, ki zagotavljajo logistično in tehnično podporo tem operacijam.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the Strait of Hormuz dominates talks as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets Gulf foreign ministers in Bahrain. Iran insists vessels must use routes designated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, while Mr Rubio rejects any attempt to impose tolls and reaffirms US security commitments to Gulf allies. US President Donald Trump says Iran has agreed to the key American demands in negotiations on a permanent peace agreement, but the deal is coming under growing scrutiny. Republican legislators are questioning the administration's approach, while a new poll suggests most Americans remain unconvinced the conflict was worth fighting or that the agreement will ultimately succeed. Lebanon says it is awaiting Israeli approval for the first phase of a military withdrawal from the south under a US-backed process, although the sides remain divided over the future of the border area and Hezbollah. In Gaza, residents tell The National that Israeli military surveillance cranes mounted with automatic machineguns overlooking the territory have transformed daily life, with many avoiding open spaces despite the ceasefire. And in the UAE, Abu Dhabi approves the Bab Gas Cap project, the world's largest development of its kind, as Adnoc and international partners move forward with plans to boost gas production and strengthen the country's path towards gas self-sufficiency. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

A deal to end the U.S.-Iran war is constantly talked up, but has yet to materialize. Meanwhile, market reaction doesn't seem to match “the biggest physical energy disruption in history”, as Helima Croft, Global Head of Commodity Strategy, describes it. At RBC's Global Energy, Power and Infrastructure Conference, Helima considers the prospects for a deal and what it would take to restore global oil flows once the Strait of Hormuz reopens.Key Points• Strong inventories and stockpile releases have so far contained oil prices despite the ongoing Iran conflict.• The market continues to respond to repeated signals of an imminent end to the war.• Restoring normal levels of oil flow after the Strait of Hormuz is reopened may take months.• Issues over Iran's nuclear program and sanctions relief will be obstacles to a lasting deal.Introductions [00:05]John Soughan, Assistant Vice President of Global Commodity Strategy and MENA Research, introduces Helima Croft, Global Head of Commodity Strategy, in a session at RBC's Energy, Power, and Infrastructure Conference.Stockpiles limit disruption impact [00:25]The U.S.-Iran war has created history's biggest physical energy supply disruption. So far, robust inventories and stockpile releases have provided a buffer, but shortages will become more evident in coming weeks.Peace agreement fails to emerge [03:41]The White House has repeatedly suggested a resolution is imminent. Each time the market responds with a sell-off. But a deal has yet to materialize. The IRGC controls shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and is not anxious to reach an agreement.Nuclear issues will impede deal [05:56]Nuclear capabilities and sanctions relief will be obstacles to any lasting deal. Even when the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, oil flows will be significantly lower than before the war began, because shippers and insurers will be reluctant to use it.Oil flows will take months to restore [09:41]The CEO of ADNOC has indicated it would take four months after reopening to return to 80% of pre-war oil flows.
We cover 9 huge stories today. We would like to take a moment to wish all of our great Veterans a Happy Memorial Day, who gave their all so we could be free.

** VIDEO EN NUESTRO CANAL DE YOUTUBE **** https://youtube.com/live/hJFxGKRP_XE +++++ Hazte con nuestras camisetas en https://www.bhmshop.app +++++ En este episodio urgente de ¿HABLAMOS? analizamos con rigor y sin filtros la nueva escalada en el Golfo Pérsico: Irán ha roto el frágil alto el fuego de abril y ha lanzado una oleada de misiles balísticos y drones contra objetivos en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos (instalaciones de Fujairah, buques de ADNOC y zonas próximas a Dubái). Mientras tanto, el presidente Donald Trump activa el Project Freedom y lanza un ultimátum claro: o se garantiza la libertad de navegación en el Estrecho de Ormuz o se aplican medidas contundentes. El tráfico marítimo se ha reducido a un goteo, Irán mantiene su esquema de separación de tráfico y un petrolero sancionado (NOOH GAS) intenta cruzar bajo la mirada de la US Navy y CENTCOM. ------------------------------------- LIBRO "UN MUNDO CONVULSO" ** https://amzn.to/4s6UrRc ** Firmado y dedicado en https://franciscogarciacampa.com/libros/ ------------------------------------- Enfoque histórico y geopolítico Este conflicto no surge de la nada. Es el mismo patrón que vimos en la Guerra de los Tanqueros (1980-1988) durante la guerra Irán-Irak: ataques sistemáticos a la navegación civil, minas en Ormuz y la necesidad de que EE.UU. interviniera con la Operación Earnest Will. Hoy, como entonces, quien controla Ormuz controla casi el 20 % del petróleo mundial. Irán vuelve a apostar por la guerra asimétrica (drones, misiles antibuque y lanchas rápidas) contra un aliado clave de Occidente como los EAU. ¿Irán está forzando una negociación o realmente busca escalar? ¿El ultimátum de Trump y Project Freedom consolidarán el orden marítimo o provocarán una respuesta mayor? ✅ En este vídeo encontrarás: • Análisis en tiempo real de los ataques a Emiratos • Explicación detallada del Project Freedom y el bloqueo naval • Contexto histórico de la Guerra de los Tanqueros • Posibles escenarios y consecuencias geopolíticas • Visión objetiva, rigurosa y sin dogmas Si te gusta la historia militar, la actualidad y la geopolítica con rigor y cercanía, este es tu canal.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the UAE confirms its exit from Opec as a long-term strategy to gain greater flexibility in oil production and meet higher output targets. We also look at Adnoc's progress towards producing five million barrels per day, as the energy sector adjusts to disruption caused by the Iran war. In Washington, British King Charles III defended Nato during an address to Congress, as tensions persist between the alliance and the administration of President Donald Trump. In Dubai, a major infrastructure push is set to transform Jumeirah Golf Estates into a key transport centre, linking metro, rail and road networks.

Today we were delighted to welcome Dr. Anas Alhajji, Managing Partner of Energy Outlook Advisors and Author of the Energy Outlook Advisors Substack (linked here). Dr. Alhajji is a leading expert on global energy markets. He advises governments, companies, financial institutions, and investors on oil and gas outlooks, energy geopolitics, energy security, and the impact of disruptive technologies on supply and demand. Anas previously served as Chief Economist at NGP Energy Capital Management and taught economics at the University of Oklahoma, the Colorado School of Mines, and Ohio Northern University. He holds an M.A. and Ph.D. in Economics, with a specialization in energy economics and policy. We were thrilled to hear his insights on the oil markets and beyond. In our conversation, Anas explains why mainstream oil-market commentary often falls short, how OPEC's role is to match supply and demand, and shares on-the-ground sentiment from ADIPEC including a focus on AI and “energy addition, not transition,” with OPEC's outlook seeing demand rising toward ~123 mmb/d. We discuss structural demand drivers including urbanization, immigration, rising incomes, and AI/data centers plus autonomous vehicles and the equity valuation puzzle amid inventories and spare capacity. Anas details the “oil on the water” debate including why recent headline numbers were overstated and how different factors from Iranian tankers suddenly broadcasting their transponders, Saudi barrels routed to Egypt but for Saudi-owned storage, Brazilian cargoes diverted to China, slower ship speeds, and others all swell oil-at-sea without adding supply. We explore how Aramco and ADNOC are evolving into global energy companies, why Saudi is leaning on renewables and nuclear to free oil for export, what to make of Saudi rigs and capacity, and why demand analysis should prioritize growth rates over absolute levels given definitional differences and the IEA's repeated upward revisions. Anas argues the IEA has persistently underestimated demand (including major multi-year revisions), contrasts IEA growth figures with stronger observed U.S. demand, and notes record U.S. crude without shale growth. We also touch on SPR strategy, why Anas believes the large 2022 release worked, his critique of “circular information” among agencies, banks, and media plus conformity shaping bearish narratives, the limited efficacy of current sanctions regimes, and much more. It was a wide-ranging discussion and we're grateful to Anas for sharing his expertise with us. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that the U.S. Government shutdown has reached Day 35, tying the previous record set during President Trump's first term. In oil markets, WTI continues to hover around $60/bbl and is still being impacted by 2026 global oil supply concerns. OPEC+ agreed to raise December oil production by 137kbpd (consensus) but will pause oil production increments in January, February, and March. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 is down ~1% this week and looks to be losing some trading momentum after a huge recent run. Many of the Big6 AI/Tech stocks reported Q3 results last week, which were generally solid with AI capex spending budgets heading higher as expected. Over the last week or so, these same AI/Tech stocks were down 3-5% (on average) due to both growing valuation concerns and sustainability of this AI rally. These Big Tech stocks make up >35% of the S&P 500 market-cap, and if they sneeze, markets could catch a cold. Aramco reported quarterly results this week and struck a pretty constructive tone with one of its key highlights this quarter being an increase in their natural gas production capacity growth target (by 2030) to 80% up from 60%. On the E&P equity front, gassy E&Ps have been pretty constructive but aren't leaning into gas growth just yet, while oily E&Ps are taking a more cau
