Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:NuRAN Wireless Inc. (Nasdaq: NUR) (FSE: 1RN)NuRAN is piloting licensed Starlink low-Earth-orbit satellite backhaul in Nigeria with partner Infratel to boost throughput and revenue at its rural mobile sites. The company finances, builds and operates more than 5,000 contracted sites across Africa and views backhaul as the lever to carry more traffic and add services without expanding its tower footprint. A successful pilot could become a repeatable model across the DRC, Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Cameroon.Zefiro Methane Corp. (Cboe CA: ZEFI) (FSE: Y6B) (OTCQB: ZEFIF)Zefiro completed the plugging of two oil and gas wells inside Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland, its second engagement in the park under a contract awarded in June 2026. The National Park Service still has roughly 1,800 wells to address across at least 47 parks, and Ohio remains one of Zefiro's most active markets. Repeat work in a high-visibility federal setting underscores the company's execution as the national orphaned-well cleanup accelerates.ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. (CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF)ICG intersected 24.3 metres of 10.14 g/t gold, including 4.6 metres of 51.84 g/t gold and 1.5 metres of 137.0 g/t gold, at its Battle Mountain target in the Tuscarora District, Nevada. All six of the first reverse-circulation holes hit gold and/or silver, validating the company's structural targeting on newly staked ground. Assays from six more holes are pending, with an inaugural resource estimate targeted for Q1 2027.Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF)Cabral completed its first gold sale from the 100%-owned Cuiu Cuiu district in Para, Brazil, selling over 2,400 ounces of dore at an average net realized price above US$4,200 per ounce. The milestone marks the start of revenue from the Phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap-leach operation, which remains on schedule and budget for commercial production in Q4 2026. Management is now focused on ramping throughput and recoveries toward design capacity.Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV: GRDM) (OTCQB: MSMGF)Grid Metals reported a maiden cesium-dominant resource at its Lucy South deposit in Manitoba: a measured 51,500 tonnes at 2.58% Cs2O, enclosing a higher-grade pollucite zone of 15,600 tonnes at 5.19% Cs2O. Held in a joint venture with Agnico Eagle subsidiary Avenir, the near-surface deposit is now the world's second-largest cesium resource in active development. Cesium is a designated critical mineral, and Grid is advancing toward metallurgical testing and permitting.Kobrea Exploration Corp. (CSE: KBX) (FSE: F3I) (OTCQB: KBXFF)Kobrea's exploration alliance with BHP Metals Exploration approved a US$4 million work program for the 2026/2027 season at its Western Malargue copper projects in Mendoza, Argentina, fully funded by BHP. The program includes diamond drilling at the El Destino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry prospect plus property-wide geochemistry and geophysics across the 733 square-kilometre package. BHP funding provides validation and a well-capitalized path to advance multiple porphyry targets.Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF)Arizona Gold & Silver intersected 43.59 metres at 1.48 g/t gold, including 7.04 metres at 4.24 g/t gold, along with a separate 70.41 metres at 1.16 g/t gold at its Philadelphia project in Mohave County, Arizona. The new holes extend the Perry Zone down-dip and point to continued drilling to depth and to the north. Two additional holes are underway to test the system's growth.Bottom Line: Today's headlines were dominated by high-grade gold and critical-mineral drill results, maiden resources and a first gold sale, alongside milestones in rural connectivity and environmental remediation -- a broad show of small-cap momentum across mining and technology.

Imagine a little girl growing up in Cameroon, from humble beginnings, curious about everything and never afraid to ask why. Decades later, she is in Silicon Valley building AI technology used by billions of people around the world. This is Dr. Marie-Ange Eyoum Tagne, and she became the first African-born woman to earn a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Berkeley. She almost quit during that program until one mentor looked her in the eyes and said, I believe in you. From there, she went on to lead product at Meta, Amazon, Roku, Yahoo and Intel. Then, after twenty years of eighty hour work weeks, she was laid off. She sat with an empty calendar and started journaling just to find her way back to herself. One question kept surfacing. Who am I without this job and without this title. In this episode we get into what it really looks like to rebuild your identity after a layoff, the mentors who believed in her before she believed in herself, and the legacy she is building on her own terms.

On this exclusive episode, Jéan P the MC sits down with international drummer and founder of Trust Drum Circles, Maseh Nchang, live from Electric Company Studios in Akron, Ohio.Jéan and Maseh talk about their collaboration on Maseh's new album, Man in Rhythm, and dive into Maseh's journey from Cameroon to Ohio, the influence of African culture and rhythm on his life, and the powerful effects music can have on our mental and emotional well-being. They also discuss the mission behind Trust Drum Circles, using rhythm to build community and connection, and much more.It's a conversation about music, culture, healing, collaboration, and finding your own rhythm.Peace & Positive Energy. ✌

Renowned comparative political scientist and former CASBS fellow (1999-2000) David Laitin has influenced generations of scholars through his investigations of the intricate interplay of cultural phenomena – such as language, religion, and ethnicity – with politics and political life across societies. The complex dynamics he reveals get to the roots of conflict, cooperation, identity formation as well as nation- and state-building. Laitin takes us on a sweeping tour of some of his career's principal works, findings, and collaborations in conversation with 2025-26 CASBS fellow Olukunle Owolabi.DAVID LAITIN: Stanford faculty page | Google Scholar page | National Academy of Sciences bio | Wikipedia page | Johan Skytte Foundation article |OLUKUNLE OWOLABI: Villanova faculty page | CASBS bio | Villanova article on six awards won by Kunle's 2023 book |David Laitin books:D.

Hirschman, notably, wrote the seminal book Exit, Voice, and Loyalty: Responses to Decline in Firms, Organizations, and States while at CASBS. In this podcast episode, David Laitin describes developing the argument for his book Identity in Formation by following the conceptual framework of the classic Hirschman book.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Kesho Septemba 24 viongozi wa dunia wanaokutana hapa New York, Marekani kwenye makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa watakuwa na mkutano wa ngazi ya juu kuhusu ongezeko la kina cha maji ya bahari duniani. Hatimaye wanatarajiwa kupitisha azimio la kusaidia mataifa yanayokumbwa na madhara yatokanayo na ongezeko hilo. Kutoka Nairobi, Kenya, Assumpta Massoi kwa ushirikiano na Radio washirika wetu Pangani FM ya mkoani Tanga, mashariki mwa Tanzania na Kituo cha Habari cha Umoja wa Mataifa, nchini humo, UNIC, anamulika madhara ya ongezeko la kina cha maji ya Bahari ya Hindi, kilichosababisha maji hayo kuingia ndani ya Mto wa Pangani. Sasa wakulima na wavuvi wanahaha. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari. • Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, António Guterres, amesema kuwa maendeleo, haki za binadamu na amani ni nguzo zinazopaswa kusonga mbele kwa pamoja ili kuleta ustawi wa watu wote duniani. Ametoa kauli hiyo mjini New York, Marekani, wakati wa Mkutano wa Ngazi ya Juu uliofanyika kuadhimisha miaka 40 tangu kupitishwa kwa Azimio la Haki ya Maendeleo la Umoja wa Mataifa la mwaka 1986. Amesisitiza akisema, “maadhimisho haya ni zaidi ya wakati wa kutafakari. Ni wito wa kuchukua hatua, kutimiza ahadi ya kulinda haki ya maendeleo kwa wote. Kupanua ushiriki na ujumuishi wa watu na nchi katika maendeleo ya dunia. Na kusukuma mbele zaidi maendeleo.” • Tukisalia na suala hilo, mmoja wa vijana kutoka barani Afrika, nchini Cameroon, Nakita Aboya ni miongoni mwa watu wanaohudhuria mikutano ya kandoni mwa Mjadala Mkuu wa Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa, UNGA81. Anasema ingawa hakupata nafasi ya kushiriki katika Mkutano huu wa leo wa Ngazi ya Juu uliofanyika kuadhimisha miaka 40 tangu kupitishwa kwa Azimio la Haki ya Maendeleo la Umoja wa Mataifa la mwaka 1986 lakini ana maoni akisema, “Ndiyo, ninaamini kwamba kila mtu ana haki ya maendeleo, mradi tu maendeleo hayo hayakiuki haki za wengine. Ninaamini kila mtu ana haki ya maendeleo. Lakini ujumbe mmoja tu kwa viongozi; tekelezeni ahadi zenu. Kwa mfano, mara nyingi katika hotuba tunasikia kauli kama: Vijana ndio msingi; inabidi vijana wajumuishwe; ooh hatuwezi kufanya chochote bila vijana; vijana, vijana, vijana. Lakini zaidi ya maneno hayo, ni hatua gani zinazochukuliwa? Kwa hiyo, ujumbe mmoja ninaoweza kutoa ni: asante sana kwa ahadi zenu, lakini tafadhali sasa tekelezeni ahadi hizo.” • Na hotuba za viongozi katika Mjadala Mkuu wa Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa zinaendelea leo ikiwa ni siku ya pili. Rais wa Ndaishimiye wa Burundi ameutumia mkutano huu kusisitiza nafasi ya Afrika duniani,..anasema “Burundi, ikiwa inashikilia Uenyekiti wa Muungano wa Afrika, imechagua umoja, mshikamano na kuchukua hatua. Tumechagua Afrika yenye amani, Afrika iliyounganishwa, Afrika inayojilisha yenyewe, Afrika inayobadilisha na kuongeza thamani ya rasilimali zake, Afrika inayowapa vijana wake fursa na uwezo wa kuunda na kubuni, Afrika inayosimamia hatima yake yenyewe. Na tunachagua mfumo wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa ulioboreshwa, ambao kila eneo, kila jamii na kila taifa linahesabiwa. Kwa Afrika, tunataka Umoja wa Mataifa wenye uwakilishi mpana zaidi, wenye ufanisi zaidi na ulio karibu zaidi na wananchi.” Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!

Analysis found 171 sanctioned vessels near UK waters between June 1 and August 26, with shadow traffic through the Channel almost daily. After the Smyrtos was boarded over a deregistered Cameroon flag, Moscow moved its routes north of Scotland, added warship escorts, and put more tankers under genuine Russian registration. False flags invite seizure, while a real one brings the protections of flag-state jurisdiction. The legal shield is real but narrower than Moscow may hope.

What if the numerically greatest untapped force for global mission is already sitting in the pews?   In this episode of God on the Move, Jennifer Abigail Lawson-Wallace and Beulah Joyce Ashindu Muga share how Women in Tune—birthed through years of prayer, a vision of Christ's return, and a mandate to restore and disciple women—has mobilized “ordinary women” across Africa to discover their identity and inheritance in Christ and step into worship, prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and leadership. They describe trainings like Free to Serve, prayer-walking initiatives, translations and literacy support, and testimonies of transformed families, growing churches, community change, and ministry breakthroughs in places like Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, and Ethiopia, while also addressing resistance rooted in culture and church structures and calling the global church to fresh empowerment by the Holy Spirit.  

This week on The Sound Kitchen it's a doubleheader: you'll hear the answers to TWO quiz questions, as well as TWO “Listener's Corner" with Paul Myers, and of course, Erwan Rome's “Music from Erwan”. So sit down, relax, and join the banquet! Just click the “play” button above to join the feast. Hello everyone! As noted on the show, I am retiring on 1 October. Unfortunately, The Sound Kitchen is retiring too – I will not be replaced. We've had a great time together all these years, haven't we? Click here to listen to past Sound Kitchen podcasts.   I know you will all stay loyal to RFI English – our service has so much to offer. We're small, but my colleagues are firebrands! For example, we have wonderful podcasts: Spotlight on France, with journalists Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas; Melissa Chemam's insightful Spotlight on Africa, and our International Report, usually sent to us by one of our foreign correspondents. We also have an award-winning bilingual series – an old-time radio show, with actors (!) – to help you learn French, called Les voisins du 12 bis. Remember, podcasts are radio, too! As you see, sound is still quite present in the RFI English service.  Please keep checking our website for updates on the latest from our team of journalists. You never know what we'll surprise you with! To listen to our podcasts from your PC, go to our website; you'll see “Podcasts” at the top of the page. You can either listen directly or subscribe and receive them directly on your mobile phone. And don't forget, in addition to our audio bilingual series, you can also learn French through our website “Le Français facile avec rfi”. In addition to online lessons, there are news broadcasts in slow, simple French, with exercises to practice what you've heard. Go to their website and get started! At the top of the page, click on “Test level”, and you'll be advised on the best-suited activities for your level, according to your score. Do not give up! As Lidwien van Dixhoorn, the head of the “Le Français facile” service, told me: “Bathe your ears in the sound of the language, and eventually, you'll get it”. She should know – Lidwien is Dutch and came to France hardly able to say “bonjour,” and now she heads this key international award-winning RFI department – so stick with it! For the quiz on 24 January: I asked you a question about the Africa Cup of Nations, and an article sent to us by Paul Myers, who was there. You were to re-read his article “Senegal outwit Morocco to claim 2025 Africa Cup of Nations”, and send in the answer to this question: At the 2026 World Cup, which took place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada in June, in which group did Morocco play, and in which group did Senegal play? The answer is, to quote Paul's article: “Morocco will play in Group C against Brazil, Scotland and Haiti. Senegal will feature in Group I with France, Norway, and the team that emerges from the intercontinental play-off in March.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: “What is your favorite day of the year? Why? What is it about that day that makes it your favorite?” The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Dipita Chakrabarty from New Delhi, India. Dipita is also the bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners this week are Muhammed Naved, a member of the International DX Radio Listeners Club in West Bengal, India; Muhammad Abdullah, a member of the RFI Online Visitors Club in Sahiwal, Pakistan; RFI Listeners Club member Rodrigo Hunrichse from Bio-Bio, Chile, and last but not least, RFI English listener Sakila Musarrt from Chapainawabganj in Bangladesh.  Congratulations winners! For the quiz on 31 January: You were to listen to our podcast “Spotlight on France”, the brainchild of my colleagues Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas. I hope you listen to it regularly, it's really quite good. On their programme number 138, Alison reported on La Ménardière, an alternative living arrangement for seniors in the village of Bérat, close to the southern French town of Toulouse. The aim of the project is for seniors to live and grow old together, contributing to society for as long as possible, and to delay – or avoid – the moment when people are forced into institutional care. The answers you were to send in were: How many residents can live at La Ménardière, and what is the selection process? The answer is, to quote Alison: “La Ménardière can house up to 20 residents. The selection process to become one is rigorous. Candidates stay for trial weekends and, if they decide to join, they must then complete a six-month probation period.” The bonus question you answered that week – suggested by Murshida Parvin Lata, the co-chairman of the Sonali Badhan Female Listeners Club in Bogura, Bangladesh – was: “Which daytime temperature do you prefer: cold or hot? Why?” The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Father Steven Wara, who lives and serves in the Cistercian Abbey in Bamenda, Cameroon. Father Steve is also the winner of this week's bonus question. There's long-standing RFI Listeners Club member Zenon Teles, who is also the president of the Christian – Marxist – Leninist – Maoist Association of Listening DX-ERs in Goa, India, as well as another faithful Sound Kitchen listener – and club member – Radhakrishna Pillai from Kerala State, also in India. Moving over to Bangladesh, Anjana Parvin – she's the secretary of the very active Shetu RFI Listeners Club in Naogaon. And last but not the least, club member and my fellow dinosaur, Alan Holder, from England's Isle of Wight. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Take the A Train” by Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, performed by Duke Ellington and his orchestra; the “AFCON 2025 Official Intro Theme – Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025” by Othmane Laaouina; “What a Wonderful World” by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, sung by Louis Armstrong; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer, and “Étincelles”, Op. 36, No. 6 by Moritz Moszkowski, played by Alexander Zhou. I'll talk to you next week, 26 September, for our final Sound Kitchen together. You'll hear the answers to the questions about the Grammy Awards Lifetime Achievement Awards and the Benin Bronzes, as well as your responses to the bonus questions on "The Listener's Corner" with Paul Myers, so be sure and tune in. Until then, fare thee well!

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever felt the ground shift beneath your feet? I've shared before about a time when I was home on the island, sitting with my Dad in the living room, when I felt the earth shake beneath my feet. Not only my feet. I felt it in my core. So did the recliner. So did the house! It was as if the entire island was shaken! And it was. Mount Cameroon, a few miles away across the channel of ocean between us, erupted. The ground shifted.The next day, we went to the church in Ela Nguema, facing Cameroon and we watched the fiery lava flow into the sea, staining the rising steam with reds and oranges. I remember being in awe of what we saw, and also a little unsettled because our island is part of the same volcanic chain.This must have been how God's people felt as Joshua led them through the Jordan River, into the land promised to them (Joshua 1.2). Like their parents who were left in the wilderness, these men, women, and children passed through on dry ground into a land given to them at the crossroads of the world. Imagine what it must have been like for Joshua when the Lord told him—in the season when the Jordan's banks were overflowing—to tell the priests to go stand in the river, carrying the Ark of the Covenant, and watch as the waters stopped flowing and “stood up in a heap” (3.13). The rushing river folded up on itself, the crashing waters stacked up as the priests entered and stood on miraculously dry ground (3.17). One by one the people entered God's promise. One by one, the ground of their personal experience with God shifted. They were stepping into the Promise of God's Mission, for themselves and for all nations!This Sunday we are stepping into those same waters, believing the Lord is leading us as His kingdom of priests into a deeper understanding of who He is and who we are in Him (Exodus 19.6; 1 Peter 2.9). Friend, I don't want to be left in the wilderness. I want to enter on dry ground Into the Promise, and I want us to go together.

Ghofrane Labyedh came to Cameroon in search of whales and instead discovered an overlooked conservation story: threatened sharks and rays were being landed in large numbers, yet little was known about the fisheries catching them. Since 2019, Ghofrane has worked alongside Cameroon's coastal communities to understand these fisheries and the cultural, social and economic importance of sharks and rays. In this episode she shares stories of her work, which weaves together research, community-led conservation, policy and storytelling; culminating in an initiative where the fishers themselves play a central role in protecting the endangered species on their doorstep. She also discusses how she has taken this multi-layered approach in her new role as Lead Coordinator of the West and Central Africa Elasmobranch Coalition with the Manta Trust. Her work here will focus on bringing together researchers, organisations and practitioners from across 14 countries in the region to address the decline of sharks and rays, strengthening in-country capacity for research and monitoring, and enhancing policy and legal frameworks for endangered species.

Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote has launched Africa's largest-ever share sale, offering a stake in his oil refinery to the general public. The initial public offering (IPO) covers roughly 3% of the Dangote Refinery and aims to raise $1.6 billion across Africa, targeting up to 10 million shareholders.Hours after the offer went live, several stockbroking applications reported downtime due to unusually heavy traffic from potential investors believed to be rushing to buy stakes in the company.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Professor Appolinaire Djikeng, Director General of the International Livestock Research Institute and CGIAR Senior Director for Livestock-Based Systems. Recorded at ILRI's headquarters in Kenya, Appolinaire talks about growing up in a village in western Cameroon where the family's pigs, goats and chickens paid for his schooling, and the work he now leads for a sector more than 1.7 billion people still depend on.You'll hear why Appolinaire says he would probably never have received an education without livestock, why a dairy farmer in Kenya may need ten animals to produce what one animal produces in the Netherlands or Australia, and why he argues livestock is the top climate solution the Global South has to offer rather than the problem it's usually cast as.Resources and links:Professor Appolinaire Djikeng, Director General, ILRIAppolinaire on LinkedInInternational Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) ILRI on LinkedInCGIAR Connect:Future Fork podcast websitePaul Newnham on InstagramPaul Newnham on XPaul Newnham on LinkedInDisruptive Consulting Solutions websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub websiteSDG2 Advocacy Hub on XSDG2 Advocacy Hub on FacebookSDG2 Advocacy Hub on LinkedIn

The recent killing of eight women across Cameroon in a single week has sparked outrage and renewed calls for specific legislation to tackle gender-based violence. The country has been grappling with femicide in recent years, with human rights organisations accusing the government of not doing enough to protect women.

Developing nations seek greater access to talent, infrastructure to boost growth发展中国家寻求更多人才、基础设施支持，以推动人工智能发展Developing nations are seeking greater access to talent, infrastructure, artificial intelligence models and governance expertise, as they aim to harness AI without lagging further behind in its development and application, officials and experts from Global South countries said at an AI workshop in Beijing.全球南方国家的官员和专家在北京举行的一场人工智能研讨会上表示，发展中国家正寻求更多机会获取人工智能人才、基础设施、人工智能模型以及治理经验，以便在利用人工智能推动发展的过程中避免进一步落后于全球技术发展和应用进程。The fourth Workshop on AI Capacity Building is being held at Peking University from Monday through Saturday, with representatives from more than 30 nations attending.第四届人工智能能力建设研讨班于周一至周六在北京大学举行，来自30多个国家的代表参加了此次活动。The AI capacity building workshop follows President Xi Jinping's announcement at the 2026 World AI Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global AI Governance in July, in which he said that China would provide developing countries with 5,000 opportunities for AI training and seminars over the next five years.此次人工智能能力建设研讨班，是继中国国家主席习近平在2026年7月举行的世界人工智能大会暨全球人工智能治理高级别会议上宣布相关倡议之后举办的活动。习近平当时表示，未来五年，中国将向发展中国家提供5000个开展人工智能培训和研讨交流的机会。Speaking at the workshop's opening ceremony, Renan Gaya, director of data structuring and artificial intelligence at Brazil's Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, said that deep disparities in data, computing capacity, talent, standards and capital continue to shape the global AI landscape.在研讨班开幕式上，巴西管理与公共服务创新部数据结构化与人工智能司司长雷南·加亚（Renan Gaya）表示，数据、算力、人才、标准和资本方面存在的巨大差距，正在持续塑造全球人工智能发展格局。“Without collective action, AI may reinforce historical inequalities and create new forms of technological dependence,” Gaya said, adding that “countries must build their own capacity or, at least, reduce strategic dependencies”. “如果缺乏集体行动，人工智能可能会强化历史性不平等，并产生新的技术依赖形式。”加亚说。他补充道，“各国必须建立自身能力，或者至少降低在战略领域的依赖程度。”He added that the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organization, or WAICO, and United Nations programs could help bridge the digital divide by sharing knowledge and providing training in areas where they are most needed.他表示，世界人工智能合作组织（WAICO）以及联合国相关项目，可以通过分享知识、在最需要的领域提供培训，帮助缩小数字鸿沟。“By sharing open-source AI models and knowledge through training and partnerships, China helps others build their own capacity,” he said.他说：“通过培训和合作伙伴关系分享开源人工智能模型与知识，中国正在帮助其他国家建设自身能力。”In 2024, China promoted the adoption of a UN General Assembly resolution on AI capacity building by consensus. The country later launched further initiatives to expand practical cooperation in the field and proposed the establishment of the WAICO.2024年，中国推动联合国大会就人工智能能力建设通过一项协商一致决议。随后，中国进一步推出扩大人工智能领域务实合作的相关倡议，并提出建立世界人工智能合作组织。Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Bin described China as an early advocate of AI capacity building and noted that all of the participants in the workshop are from founding members of the WAICO, reflecting a commitment to ensuring that the initial participants would also be among the first to benefit.中国外交部副部长刘彬表示，中国是人工智能能力建设的早期倡导者。他指出，本次研讨班所有参与方均来自世界人工智能合作组织创始成员，这体现了确保首批参与者也能率先受益的承诺。However, Liu said that the potential of AI would not automatically translate into benefits for common development, and that it could instead entrench or even exacerbate inequalities. He said that capacity building should go beyond simply providing access to technologies and services, adding that greater emphasis should be placed on helping developing countries build the capabilities required to develop and apply AI more independently, using it to solve real-world problems in ways that generate lasting value.不过，刘彬表示，人工智能的发展潜力并不会自动转化为促进共同发展的成果，反而可能进一步固化甚至扩大不平等。他指出，能力建设不应仅停留在提供技术和服务的层面，而应更加重视帮助发展中国家提升自主开发和应用人工智能的能力，使其能够利用人工智能解决现实问题，并创造长期价值。Antoine Pokam, an inspector at the Inspectorate General in charge of Technical Matters of Cameroon's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, pointed to infrastructure, financing and access to AI models as areas in which developing countries need greater support.喀麦隆邮政与电信部技术事务总监察局检查员安托万·波坎（Antoine Pokam）指出，基础设施、资金支持以及获取人工智能模型，是发展中国家需要获得更多支持的重要领域。Stressing the need for capacity-building programs, he added that support was also required for projects, financing and infrastructure.他强调，开展能力建设项目十分必要，同时相关支持也应覆盖项目实施、融资以及基础设施建设等方面。Aung Myo Maung, deputy director of the National AI Development Department of Myanmar's Ministry of Digital Development and Communications, said as Myanmar moves toward digitalization, the country's government could benefit from China's experience in areas such as data analytics and decision-support systems.缅甸数字发展与通信部国家人工智能发展司副司长昂妙茂（Aung Myo Maung）表示，随着缅甸迈向数字化转型，政府可以借鉴中国在数据分析、决策支持系统等领域的经验。Thanongdeuane Toulihong, deputy director of the Applied Research Institute of Smart Technology under Laos' Ministry of Technology and Communications, said that human resources and infrastructure are among the major constraints facing AI development in his country, and that relevant policy frameworks also need to be developed further.老挝技术与通信部智慧技术应用研究院副院长塔农杜安·图里洪（Thanongdeuane Toulihong）表示，人力资源和基础设施是当前制约老挝人工智能发展的主要因素之一，同时，相关政策框架也需要进一步完善。[词汇提炼]harness /ˈhɑːrnɪs/ v.利用；驾驭；有效运用capacity building /kəˈpæsəti ˌbɪldɪŋ/ n.能力建设；能力提升infrastructure /ˈɪnfrəˌstrʌktʃər/ n.基础设施governance /ˈɡʌvərnəns/ n.治理；管理体系disparity /dɪˈspærəti/ n.差距；不平等；悬殊reinforce /ˌriːɪnˈfɔːrs/ v.强化；加剧；巩固dependency /dɪˈpendənsi/ n.依赖；依赖关系collective action /kəˈlektɪv ˈækʃn/ n.集体行动；共同努力

Some fish can deliver electric shocks that are four times more powerful than the electricity in your plug sockets at home. Crowdscience listener Mouhammed in Cameroon was stunned by this, so he charged us with finding out how they do it. Presenter Caroline Steel heads to Bayreuth in Germany to meet some eels who have this amazing ability. Dr Stefan Schuster and Susanne Proschke introduce us to their collection of electric fish, and help us conduct some experiments to work out how the fish are wired. We'll be diving into electric fishes' anatomy, learning how a specialised organ allows them to generate massive voltages of electricity. Harold Zakon from the University of Texas will help us understand their evolutionary history, while Brazilian ecologist Nonato Junior takes us on a journey into the currents of the Amazon River where electric eels live. And we'll answer a question that has boggled philosophers, thinkers, and scientists for over 2000 years. If these fish can stun a human, a crocodile or even a horse, how do they survive the electric shocks themselves?

John sits down with Mike Arnold (author of Bringing Back the Lions and Bringing Back the Wild, biologist, and host of the Bringing Back the Wild podcast) for a deep dive into one of the more specialized pursuits in African hunting: the Tiny Ten. Mike shares the full story of how his very first African animal — a Vaal Rhebok in the Great Karoo — launched a multi-country quest that eventually produced eleven of these pygmy antelope. He walks through the hunts for Vaal Rhebok, Bush Duiker, Klipspringer, Cape Grysbok, Steenbok, Damara Dik-Dik, Blue Duiker, Red Duiker, Suni, Oribi, and Red-Flanked Duiker across South Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, and Cameroon. They discuss the specialized habitats and tactics required, the surprisingly effective use of varmint calls on some species, the best cartridges for animals that can weigh under 20 pounds (from .22 Hornet to .375), the challenges of shot placement and taxidermy, SCI scoring realities, and why these little antelope are often more difficult and rewarding than many larger plains-game species. Mike also puts on his biologist hat to explain how so many tiny antelope have thrived in a predator-rich landscape, the heavy bushmeat pressure they face, and the conservation role of places like Zambezi Delta Safaris. Whether you've already taken a couple of the Tiny Ten or you're just curious about this specialized side of African hunting, this episode delivers both great stories and practical insight.

WAFCON's quarterfinals just delivered the craziest week in the tournament's history, and the results prove it: ten-time champion and defending champion Nigeria were knocked out and Malawi, playing in just their first-ever WAFCON, qualified for their first-ever World Cup as the lowest-ranked nation to ever do it.In this episode, LDG breaks down all four quarterfinal matches before making the case that the World Cup slot allocation hasn't caught up to what African women's football has become. He lays out the numbers first: CAF and UEFA have almost identical membership, 54 nations to 55, yet UEFA gets eleven direct World Cup slots to CAF's four. This year's WAFCON proves how badly that decision missed the mark and why this current framework is detrimental to the growth of the women's game.He backs it up with what just happened on the pitch, a 16-team WAFCON field for the first time ever with two debutant nations reaching the tournament and a group so tight that CAF had to separate Malawi, Nigeria, and Zambia on a rarely-used head-to-head tiebreaker.From there, LDG gets into the storylines carrying the tournament into its final week, including KC Current forward Temwa Chawinga's goal against Ghana that kept Malawi's run alive, and what it means for an NWSL name to be at the center of an African qualifying story.He previews Wednesday's semifinals, Morocco hosting Cameroon in Rabat and Malawi facing Algeria in Casablanca, and closes on the four teams still fighting for a way into Brazil: Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, and Ivory Coast all play an extra round on August 13 for a single remaining spot in the FIFA inter-confederation playoff, with two former champions now needing one more result just to stay alive.As mentioned in the episode, if you are looking to more WAFCON content, listen to our interview with Nigerian forward Esther Okoronkwo here, which we released on the day of their first 2026 WAFCON match!Thank you all for listening!

New Bell Prison in Douala, Cameroon, operates a bit like a city within a city. The facility has its own "taxis" (inmates who hand deliver messages), its own law enforcement (prisoners who help police the facility) and a market. The jail is overcrowded and under-resourced, and the occupants of New Bell have sometimes adapted the jail's overstretched systems to work for them. An on-site music studio and label, Jail Time Records, has also sprung up and found an international audience. Wedaeli Chibelushi, journalist for BBC World Online, Africa, tells the stories of some of the inmates involved.  In Egypt, Christians are a substantial minority, making up 10 to 15% of the population, but they're not always represented fairly in employment and public life. This month, the case of 13-year-old Makary Younan, who despite his talent was initially passed over for selection by a major Egyptian football academy, has led to a public debate over anti-Christian discrimination. BBC Arabic's Ahmed Omar has the story.  Wang Jibing, a Chinese food delivery rider in his fifties, has found a huge online following with reflective poems capturing his daily life and routines. Now, he's won one of China's top literary prizes. After growing up poor and doing many different jobs, Wang became a food delivery rider 2019. He often scribbles poems on scraps of paper between deliveries, but the prize he's won is named after poet Lu Xun, seen by many as the father of Chinese literature. Koh Ewe from the BBC's Hong Kong Bureau explains why so many Chinese people have taken him to their hearts. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world. Presented by Faranak Amidi.

Become a Supporter of The Real Science of Sport, and you get ad-free listening, an Applied Science bonus show every week, plus a seat at the best conversation in sport. All for less than a decent gel.Show notesJosh Kerr, the Commonwealth Games, a stitch explained, the Tour de France Femmes, and yet another South African schoolboy rugby doping ban. In today's show:(00:00:38) We joked before Glasgow that this might be the last Commonwealth Games we ever see, and we were wrong. They survived in a cut-down, ten sport form, with India in 2030 and interest from Nigeria and New Zealand for 2034. We debate whether a smaller, cheaper games is actually the point rather than the problem, and what it means that the BBC's sub-one-million-pound bid was rejected, leaving Josh Kerr's mile watched by 200,000 people when Eilish McColgan's 10,000m in 2022 drew six million.(00:02:37) The performances, including Emmanuel Eseme of Cameroon running 9.83 in apocalyptic rain, three women under 11 seconds, and Josh Kerr's utterly dominant 3:54 mile off a jogged first kilometre. With the fastest mile in history relative to his peers and a devastating kick, how does anyone actually beat him now, and will the 1500m world record follow? Kerr says he is flying a little close to the sun, and we explain why staying in world record shape is like sitting in the death zone on Everest.(00:24:13) Laura Muir crossed the line 16th and collapsed after a stitch at 3km, so what actually causes one? We go through exercise related transient abdominal pain, the old diaphragmatic ischaemia theory, the newer parietal peritoneum irritation explanation, why shoulder tip pain is referred pain, and the risk factors including drinking before you run, being younger, being female, and having weaker trunk muscles.(00:33:56) Ingebrigtsen returns at the Euros over 5000m off two disrupted seasons and Achilles surgery, and we're not sure it'll be the comeback people hope for.(00:44:52) The Tour de France Femmes is brewing into a genuinely great race, with time gaps after the time-trial necessitating attacking racing as the Tour heads into its hilly and mountain stages. Niewiadoma and Ferrand-Prevot in particular need to claw back big time, while Reuser defends and Vollering waits ominously in pole-position. Instead the world's media is writing about padded bras. Why does cycling always shoot itself in the foot, and why is it a headline for the women when it was an incidental for the men?(00:47:40) Tadej Pogačar's estimated VO2max of over 100 is doing the rounds, using exactly the methods Ross was hammered for using on Contador and Froome fifteen years ago. We explain the modelling, why assumptions can spit out anything between 85 and 101, and what that means for comparing Pogačar to Pantani on Alpe d'Huez.(00:55:56) The full Markéta Vondroušová decision is out, and it reads very differently to the version that had tennis players outraged. Plus a hard look at South African schools rugby, where Deon Botes is the third schoolboy banned in months, this time for a supplement his father allegedly bought for cash from a stranger outside a pharmacy with "ultimate test booster" on the box.(01:12:47) Jannik Sinner walks away from a potential clean sweep of the Masters events to play less tennis before the US Open, while Carlos Alcaraz withdraws from Cincinnati and extends a wrist injury layoff that has now cost him May, June, July, and half of August. Two very different answers to the same question, and one that echoes Josh Kerr's approach to racing.(01:15:00) And finally, an update on Anna's ride around Australia. Nine days, 976km, 7,940m of climbing, one chain change, and three magpie attacks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
