L'Agence internationale de l'énergie pointe dans son rapport annuel, publié en fin de semaine dernière, les tensions sur la disponibilité des minéraux critiques et une hausse importante des prix de certains d'entre eux. Le continent africain est évidemment un acteur central dans cette compétition mondiale et tente de tirer son épingle du jeu par différents moyens. Il y a d'abord le levier de l'offre et les répercussions sur les prix. L'année 2025 a été marquée par une hausse des cours d'un grand nombre de ces métaux critiques. « Les prix des métaux de base tels que l'aluminium, le cuivre et l'étain ont augmenté d'un tiers entre janvier 2025 et avril 2026, avec des cours du cuivre qui ont atteint des sommets. Les prix des matériaux destinés aux batteries se sont également redressés après une baisse en 2023 et 2024 », détaille Tim Gould, l'économiste en chef de l'Agence internationale de l'énergie. Le conflit au Moyen-Orient est en cause, mais pas seulement : « Les prix du lithium ont plus que doublé, tandis que ceux du cobalt ont augmenté d'environ 130%, en grande partie en raison des restrictions à l'exportation imposées par la République démocratique du Congo. » Après avoir suspendu les exportations de cobalt, la RDC a remplacé l'interdiction par un système de quotas. Kinshasa n'est pas le seul producteur africain à jouer sur ce levier. Tim Gould lors d'une présentation du rapport : « Ce que vous voyez actuellement à l'écran, c'est une forte augmentation du nombre de restrictions commerciales. Désormais, il ne s'agit plus seulement de la Chine. D'autres pays ont également mis en place de nouvelles restrictions, notamment le quota d'exportation de cobalt imposé par la RDC, que j'ai déjà mentionné, ainsi que les restrictions commerciales imposées par le Zimbabwe sur le lithium, par le Mozambique sur le graphite. » Madagascar mise sur son graphite Si l'AIE note une baisse des dépenses dans l'exploration minière, certains pays profitent néanmoins de l'engouement pour certains minerais. Au début de l'année, Madagascar a levé son moratoire sur les permis miniers, rouvrant la porte aux investisseurs. Une aubaine, notamment dans le domaine du graphite dominé actuellement par la Chine. « Les pays occidentaux, on va dire, que ce soit des Européens ou des Canadiens, ou des Américains ou des Australiens, sont à la recherche de ressources en graphite. Et il se trouve qu'il y en a à Madagascar. Ce qui permettrait in fine d'acquérir une certaine indépendance vis-à-vis de la Chine », remet en contexte Jean-Jacques Young, consultant minier et fin connaisseur de l'île. Et Madagascar, qui dispose de l'une des trois plus grosses réserves mondiales de graphite, a sa partition à jouer. « Madagascar a une position très privilégiée dans le secteur du graphite, parce que les réserves sont importantes. Elles sont réparties sur plusieurs territoires dans le pays. Donc oui, effectivement, il y a un certain nombre d'investisseurs qui développent aujourd'hui des projets de mine de graphite. C'est tout à fait exact », confirme l'expert.  Les États du continent restent cependant largement tributaires d'investissements extérieurs, du manque d'infrastructure énergétiques. Dans un moyen terme beaucoup misent sur la transformation locale pour améliorer encore plus le profit tiré de leur sous-sol.

Nearly 50 years after a magazine story planted the dream of crossing Australia by motorcycle, Allan Waldon finally set out to make it happen. Riding unsupported with his mate Adam on two small motorcycles, he faced more than 6,000 kilometres of remote desert, flooded roads, deep gravel, fierce winds and slippery red clay. This is the story of two riders crossing a continent—and one man proving it's never too late to pursue a lifelong dream.

In Contested Continent: The Struggle for America, c.1000-1680 (Oxford University Press, 2026), the newest installment of the acclaimed Oxford History of the United States series, Peter C. Mancall recounts how North America was forged from the experiences of millions of Indigenous women and men as well as Europeans and Africans. This history spans the continent from the North Atlantic to the West Indies and includes the entire Atlantic basin, telling a new story about the origins of major aspects of American culture. He illuminates the rise of a booming trans-Atlantic economy based on the extraction of abundant American natural resources; the central role that European migrants and their descendants played in the enslavement of Africans and the displacement of Indigenous peoples; and the spread of self-governing polities where many enjoyed religious freedom. None of these developments was inevitable. Conflicts broke out frequently as different peoples battled over precious resources. Europeans' appetites for material gain and expanding Christendom brought horrific consequences for those brutalized, enslaved, and vulnerable to infectious diseases. This is a sweeping history of developments crucial to the eventual founding of the United States. Contested Continent underscores the titanic struggles between the peoples who had populated the Americas for centuries and the migrants from the Old World who initiated changes that created a New World that offered boundless opportunities for some and crushed the aspirations of others.

On this special episode of Hub Dialogues, we bring you a curated collection of conversations and remarks from the New North America Summit, hosted by the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy. Held earlier this past June, the summit brought together nearly 100 thought leaders—from today's decision-makers to the next generation of leaders shaping the continent's future—to explore a forward-looking vision for North America and the practical steps needed to achieve it.The episode features Washington Post intelligence analyst Luiza Savage on how artificial intelligence is reshaping U.S.-China competition; Alberta Premier Danielle Smith in conversation with Savage on energy security, critical minerals, and North America's resource advantage; and journalist Tim Alberta on America's institutional challenges and the populist movements they have helped fuel.Together, these conversations explore the forces—from pipelines and data centres to rare earth magnets and the physical infrastructure underpinning the modern economy—that will shape which countries are best positioned to thrive in the decades ahead.This episode is produced in partnership with the New North America Initiative at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary. From the shifting ideologies of the new Right and the new Left in the U.S., this multi-month series will bring Canadians inside debates on trade, globalization, and power that are likely to shape America's policy direction—and Canada's interests—for the years and decades to come.The New North America Initiative is generously funded in part by the Government of Alberta.The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this multimedia content do not necessarily represent those of the New North America Initiative, the School of Public Policy, or the University of Calgary.

Send us Fan MailWe try to make sense of a real problem many of us feel: paying a lot for U.S. healthcare while still waiting months to see a doctor. We trace how engineered transaction costs, from the Flexner Report to modern residency caps, restrict physician supply and protect price power while leaving clinicians overworked and patients stuck. • getting “fired” by a health system and what it reveals about access • why shortages don't clear when prices rise, and how transaction costs block entry • the Flexner Report as quality reform and supply restriction • evidence of conflicts of interest and rushed methods behind the Flexner narrative • Ruben Kessel's puzzle on persistent price discrimination in medicine • hospital privileges and county medical societies as cartel discipline • why advertising bans and professional norms can function as anti-competition tools • how residency caps and accreditation keep the bottleneck in place today • a listener letter on data center payments as compensation versus bribes • book of the week recommendation and a few parting thoughts **************************************As I note in the episode, thanks to Dr. Lance Stell, Davidson College Department of Philosophy (emeritus).  Lance offered this note about the epidsode:There's a footnote to the Flexner report. It killed the Davidson medical college - NC"s first. The school was founded by a DC faculty as a proprietary school. After 10 years operating on campus, it moved to Charlotte where it had a clinical relationship w/ the Good Samaritan Hospital - a black hospital, becoming the first medical school in the country to have such a relationship. I can send you an article about it written by Dr. Eddie Hoover, MD, a surgeon and Editor of NC"s black medical journal. Flexner execrated proprietary medical schools and it was his goal to "close them." His damning review of the Davidson medical School, renamed The NC Medical College, was successful.Thanks, Lance, I did not know that!  I added that link, below. ****************************************Links:The infamous Flexner Report:  http://archive.carnegiefoundation.org/publications/pdfs/elibrary/Carnegie_Flexner_Report.pdfHiatt and Stockton on the Flexner Report:  "The Impact of the Flexner Report on the Fate of Medical Schools in North America After 1909"Hiatt: "Around the Continent in 180 Days." Hiatt: "The Amazing Logistics of Flexner's Fieldwork."Kessell, Journal of Law and Economics, 1958:  "Price Discrimination in Medicine." Eddie L Hoover, Catherine R Lewis.  2006.  Journal of the National Medical Association.

For almost two years, the war on the Continent had been raging. The Battle of Verdun has already happened, but the real bloodshed had not even started yet, with the Battle of the Somme only a month away.While the European land armies have been fighting on a scale not seen since Napoleon a century earlier, major conflicts at sea were rare in spite of the major belligerents having great and powerful fleets. Like two heavyweight boxers wary of each other, the surface fleets of the Royal Navy and the Kaiserliche Marine stared at each other across the North Sea, throwing a jab here or there, but not committing for a hard fight.Then, in the early morning hours of May 31st, Vice Admiral Franz von Hipper's I Scouting Group got underway from the Jade estuary and headed north.This episode, we are going to look back at the Battle of Jutland with Simon Harley, naval historian, Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and co-editor of The Dreadnought Project online resource.

Hoe houd je stand tegen de 'machten' van deze tijd? We zoeken allemaal naar geluk. In ervaringen, spullen, carrière, of misschien wel die vakantie die bijna voor de deur staat. Maar wat als we daardoor juist een grotere bron van geluk missen? Een verborgen schat? Daarover gaat het nieuwe essay (https://deongelooflijke.substack.com/p/de-verborgen-schat-die-echt-geluk?triedRedirect=true) van econoom Paul Schenderling, al voor de zesde keer te gast in De Ongelooflijke, omdat hij altijd een goed verhaal heeft. Hoe vind je vreugde? Waarom voelen veel mensen een soort onvrede, een onbehagen? En waarom blijven we zoeken naar geluk op plekken waarvan we ergens wel weten dat ze ons niet echt vervullen? Volgens Paul leven we niet alleen materialistisch, we kíjken ook materialistisch naar de wereld. En die blik houdt ons gevangen. Want, zo betoogt hij, er is een hele geestelijke werkelijkheid die we mislopen. Het essay (https://deongelooflijke.substack.com/p/de-verborgen-schat-die-echt-geluk?triedRedirect=true)dat Paul schreef is gratis te lezen op onze Substack: deongelooflijke.eo.nl.

Together, they explore how Geralt's iconic look evolved to reflect a new interpretation while remaining true to the character fans know and love. They also dive into Ciri's journey with The Rats, the ever-evolving costumes of Yennefer, and the ways her life of magic and sorcery influenced the visual language of her costumes. Throughout the conversation, Lucinda shares how fabrics, textures, and textiles serve as essential storytelling tools, helping define the cultures, histories, and characters that inhabit the world of The Witcher.

North America was forged from the experiences of millions of Indigenous women and men as well as Europeans and Africans. Contested Continent, the first volume of the Oxford History of the United States series, is a far-ranging history of North America concentrating on the period from c. A.D. 1000 to 1680—from the arrival of Norse explorers to an explosion of revolts that underlined the stubborn struggle to master the continent some two centuries after Columbus's landfall. This history spans the continent from the North Atlantic to the West Indies and includes the entire Atlantic basin. Peter Mancall and David Kennedy emphasize the experiences of diverse peoples while, at the same time, telling a new story about the origins of major aspects of American culture. They illuminate the rise of a booming trans-Atlantic economy based on the extraction of abundant American natural resources; the central role that European migrants and their descendants played in the enslavement of Africans and the displacement of Indigenous peoples; and the spread of self-governing polities where many enjoyed religious freedom. None of these developments was inevitable. Conflicts broke out frequently as different peoples battled over precious resources. Europeans' appetites for material gain and expanding Christendom brought horrific consequences for those brutalized, enslaved, and vulnerable to infectious diseases. Join us to hear Mancall and Kennedy present their sweeping history of developments crucial to the eventual founding of the United States, underscoring the titanic struggles between the peoples who had populated the Americas for centuries and the migrants from the Old World who initiated changes that created a New World that offered boundless opportunities for some and crushed the aspirations of others.

No other American colony projected such extensive power with so few people. We recount how the French explored the vast northern region they called “Canada” for decades in pursuit of furs and the Northwest Passage, but repeatedly failed to plant a lasting colony in the harsh and forbidding land—until they found in Samuel de Champlain a leader with the shrewdness and grit to overcome the severe cold, the vast distances, and the treacherous politics of the Saint Lawrence basin. We trace the growth of Quebec from little more than a warehouse in the frozen wildnerness to a thriving town, controlling the most critical gateway into the continent and serving as the hub of a lucrative trading network, a vast constellation of mission towns and outposts (including the Christianizing experiment known as Montreal), and most importantly, a formidable indigenous alliance system that dominated the continenet from the Atlantic to Lake Superior. Finally, we consider the disasters of the mid-1600s, including deadly epidemics and warfare with the Five Nations, that brought Canada's most important allies to their knees and threatened to wipe the colony off the map.

Imagine hopping on a train and reaching another continent in just minutes—sounds like science fiction, right? Well, scientists are working on a futuristic vacuum tube train that could make it possible! This concept, called hyperloop or vactrain, would use airtight tunnels with super-low air resistance, allowing trains to travel at nearly the speed of sound. That means a trip from New York to London or Paris to Beijing could be faster than a regular plane ride! The technology is still in development, but if it works, it could change travel forever—no long flights, no jet lag, just smooth, ultra-fast rides. Who knows? In the future, your next vacation might start with a train ride across the ocean!

My guest Peter C. Mancall's new book is Contested Continent: The Struggle for North America, c. 1000–1680. It is, now, the first volume in the Oxford History of the United States, an ongoing multi-volume narrative series—a series whose story is worth an episode in and of itself.In Contested Continent, Mancall describes the foundation of that place which would eventually become the United States. It is a long era of human history which foreshadowed that which was to come, one in which peoples from four continents came together in a collision of violence and mutuality in North America. “Much of what happened,” he writes, “came to define the American experience, including the rise of a booming transatlantic economy based on the extraction of abundant American natural resources, the central role European migrants and their descendants played in the enslavement of Africans, the displacement of Indigenous peoples, and the spread of self-governing polities where many people enjoyed religious liberty. None of those developments was inevitable. Nor did sweeping changes occur quickly.” Or we might say that like the glaciers of an advancing ice age, the events of this era often seem slow and ponderous, but ultimately they change everything that gets in their way.Peter C. Mancall is Distinguished Professor, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, and Director of the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute at the University of Southern California. He is the author of numerous books, including Fatal Journey: The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson and Hakluyt's Promise: An Elizabethan's Obsession for an English America.

The Windy City Historians so enjoyed talking with John William Nelson Ph.D. Associate Professor of History at Texas State University about his book Muddy Ground; Native Peoples, Chicago's Portage, and the Transformation of a Continent we revisit this discussion. With so much ground of the Chicago landscape traversed by both European and Native peoples to cover, muddy or not, we are returning for a second episode for more of this fascinating history.   In this episode, “Muddy Ground Revised”, the conversation continues, focusing on Chicago Portages, tying together historic threads, a brief tribute to Dennis McClendon, and more. We touch upon the grand department store, Hudson's, with it’s origins in the 1600s and contributions great historians of the 19th century, such as Wisconsin's own William Reuben Thwaites and Frederick Jackson Turner, and their continued legacies to American historiography, and contributions to Oscar-winning movies.  It’s a fun ride into the Chicago’s past we hope you will enjoy it as much as we did making it!

My newsletter: https://simonowens.substack.com/ When Sipho Kings and his co-founder Simon Allison launched The Continent in 2020, they wanted to rethink how journalism is distributed online. Instead of chasing search traffic and social algorithms, they created a weekly PDF newspaper designed specifically for smartphones and distributed it through platforms like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and email. The idea was to bring back the simplicity of a curated newspaper while adapting it to how people actually consume information today. Six years later, The Continent reaches tens of thousands of readers across Africa and around the world. In a recent interview, Kings explained how the publication grew entirely through word of mouth, why its unusual PDF format created a deeper relationship with readers, and how it's building a sustainable media business outside the traditional web ecosystem.  

African creatives have global clout, but talent is only part of the picture, and in reality the starving artist is not a romantic figure but an unsupported one. No more. Georja speaks to one of the biggest advocates for the development of the continent's artistic industries – Marie Lora Mungai's new book "Creative Cash Flow" walks African creatives through the financial sense and business practicalities needed for their gifts to keep on giving.

Who doesn't love a library? Unfortunately, library workers at Mid-Continent Libraries don't feel much love from their bosses, and they've organized a union. We'll have them and results of their vote on it on tonight's show. Then, one might think that being head of the Texas AFL-CIO would be a thankless job in such an anti-union state, but Rick Levy made the state's labor movement broader, bolder, and more inclusive. We'll find out how. Our feature is Know Your Rights with Michael Amash.

The recent election result in Hungary has been seen as a welcome relief within the European Union.The bloc of 27 nations has, at times, felt frustrated with the country for blocking what the other 26 members have agreed to do, especially regarding financial support for Ukraine.Now the EU has been able to push through a loan to Ukraine of more than US$100bn, and some observers believe the union's turbulent years are behind it. As it marks 10 years since the United Kingdom voted to leave, and with Montenegro expected to soon join, this week on The Inquiry we're asking: ‘What is the future of the European Union?'Contributors: Dr Monika Sus, professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences and at the Robert Schuman Center of the European University Institute in Florence, Italy Michael Geary, professor of European history at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway Catherine E. de Vries, author How Europe Survives: The Adaptability and Resilience of a Continent in Peril, vice dean of the school for politics, economics and global affairs at IE University of Madrid, Spain Dr Andi Hoxhaj, lecturer in law and director of the European law and LLM programme at King's College, London, UKPresenter: Daniel Rosney Producer: Jill Collins Researchers: Evie Yablsey and Amelia Cox Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: European Union flags.

What's up bros?? Things look to be getting on the right path with our crew out in the valley and we're hoping to see more of the same. While we still hold our disdain for Janet as a person, alienating and excluding her from the reality TV show has never made sense so we're hoping her return to the group signals a return to form. While Brittany contemplates what a continent is, Luke is still coming to grips with what it means to be a dad...not a fisherman. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The latest European State of the Climate report has found that Europe is once again getting warmer, and at a rate that is twice as fast as the global average. Tom Whipple is joined by Dr Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, to understand the driving forces behind this stark difference and anticipate what Europeans can expect in the coming years as a result.We also remember Dr J Craig Venter, one of the famous founders of what we might now call the genomic age of science who dies this week. In the lead-up to the 100th birthday of the world-famous broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, Inside Science is shining a spotlight on a species of scientific importance that has been named after him. This week, Dr Leonidas-Romanos Davranoglou shares his treacherous search for a unique species of echidna previously thought to be extinct. Plus, science journalist Caroline Steel fills us in on the latest science news that you might have missed - from the surprising growth rates of Neanderthal babies to 10,000 newly discovered planets.
