What happens when field epidemiology moves beyond the desk?To mark World Field Epidemiology Day, Antonia Genath and Linda Adamíková share their experience of a seven-week deployment to South Sudan, where they supported Ebola preparedness and surveillance activities.They discuss working in a fragile health system, strengthening surveillance, supporting contact-tracing preparedness and collaborating with local colleagues in Juba and Yambio, close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.They also reflect on what the deployment taught them, both professionally and personally, and why getting outside the “European surveillance bubble” can change the way you think about epidemiology.Linda and Antonia are fellows in the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and the German Postgraduate Training for Applied Epidemiology (PAE). During their two-year fellowships, they are based at Germany's national public health institute, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), where they contribute to projects and routine activities in infectious disease epidemiology.Check the links below to learn more about:

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC has claimed more than 3,400 lives and infected thousands more. Despite the scale of the outbreak, there is still no approved vaccine for the latest strain. Leanna Byrne examines what it takes and who pays to develop a vaccine. We look at what is slowing vaccine development and whether the limited commercial market for Ebola vaccines means governments, charities and international donors must step in to fund research.(Photo: Sanitation measures underway at Bunia market to contain Ebola outbreak, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 23 May, 2026.

Ambassador Fred Gateretse-Ngoga spent 17 years at the African Union working on some of Africa's most difficult peace and security challenges. In this episode of The Long Form Podcast, recorded shortly before his departure from the AU Commission, Fred sits down with Sanny Ntayombya for a candid conversation about Burundi, Rwanda, eastern DRC and the future of peace in Africa. He discusses his controversial public criticism of discrimination against Burundi's Tutsi community, whether ethnic power-sharing created lasting stability, and what Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo misunderstand about each other. They debate whether wars can sometimes be resolved through military victory, the M23 and FDLR question, growing Afrophobia and xenophobia across Africa, and why conflicts continue to proliferate despite decades of African Union peacebuilding. Sponsors:ShieldTech Hub- https://www.shieldtechub.com                                           Akagera Medicines- https://www.akageramedicines.com BasiGo Rwanda- https://www.basi-go.com/rwanda CanalBox-https://www.canalbox.rw Join our Patreon to enjoy ad-free viewing https://www.patreon.com/cw/TheLongFormPod or support us via our MTN Mobile Money Code 95462 or directly to our phone number: +250795462739Visit Sanny Ntayombya's Official Website: https://sannyntayombya.comProduced by LF Media

Today's HeadlinesDR Congo battles record Ebola outbreak; hospital supplies running shortDisplacement leaves Lebanese children without classroomsWhen prison exposes the need for change, the gospel offers something deeper

Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the latest progress at the Bisie North project, where the company sees further resource growth potential across the Kalayi and Mont Agoma deposits. Barrett discussed the 45% increase in contained tin at Kalayi, achieved without grade dilution, and explained why the latest results reinforce the company's view of the deposit's potential. He said ongoing drilling had delivered "more and more of the same", while noting that the grade had increased by 10%. Rome Resources now sees opportunities to expand Kalayi further, including through its southeast, northern and deeper extensions. Barrett said the company was talking to various parties about the possibility of funding additional drilling, with the objective of increasing the inferred resource and establishing how large the deposit could ultimately become. The interview also covered Mont Agoma and its importance to the wider Bisie North story. Barrett highlighted the existing inferred copper resource, as well as additional copper and tin targets. He said the different commodity mix could ultimately result in separate commercial transactions for Kalayi and Mont Agoma, with the company already talking to parties active in copper production in the DRC. Looking ahead, Barrett said drilling remains the priority as Rome Resources Plc targets further resource growth and considers the route towards development. Discussing the potential represented by a 20,000-tonne contained-tin target, he said: "The margin is fantastic." Watch the full interview to hear Barrett discuss the drilling strategy, potential commercial partnerships and the next steps for unlocking value from Bisie North.

In this episode we chat to Matthew Rowlinson, President and CEO at Solaris Resources to discuss the development of Warintza in Ecuador, one of the world's largest undeveloped copper projects.   We explore what differentiates Warintza from other major copper discoveries, the critical steps required to move a resource of this scale towards construction, and how Solaris is thinking about financing and ownership as the project becomes increasingly de-risked.   We also look at the wider copper market in particular; why the industry isn't building enough new mines despite forecasts of a future supply shortage, the growing importance of geopolitics and China's role in downstream refining, and what the mining industry needs to do to secure the social and political support required to develop the next generation of major copper mines. KEY TAKEAWAYS Warintza is an open-pit copper porphyry project in southeastern Ecuador boasting a 5.8-billion-tonne resource, a 55-year mine life, and an advantageous 0.5-to-1 strip ratio. Solaris is targeting mid-2027 to achieve a fully permitted status, aiming for a final investment decision (FID) by the end of 2027 followed by an estimated three-year build. Upstream mine ownership does not guarantee supply security because Western development has lagged behind China's dominant 50% to 60% share of global smelting and refining capacity. The primary barrier to meeting the global copper shortage is not the lack of raw resources, but the lengthy timelines and the scarcity of projects that have successfully aligned permitting, social license, and technical studies into a truly financeable package. BEST MOMENTS "There's a difference between a very good ore body, a good project, and ultimately a financeable project... in the world today there's very few projects that are actually probably financeable." "Mining is really the procurement arm of the world... industrialization and urbanization has only happened through ultimately mining." "Western governments are looking at independence of supply chains... However, owning a mine in Latin America, owning a mine in the DRC... does not necessarily solve the supply chain issue because your concentrates are ultimately going to go to China to be processed." "Partnership... is not necessarily just about bringing in capital. It's really about bringing in expertise, bringing in a balance sheet that really is solid, and the ability to go and construct."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) currently has 65,765 people locked in their detention warehouses. We wondered how many were disabled and what the conditions are for them. We wanted to find out what is being done to keep people out of detention centers in the first place. We went looking. A team of disability advocates visited ICE detention centers throughout California to advocate for better conditions, the abolition of solitary confinement and more. Richard Diaz from Disability Rights California (DRC), who led the team, explains what they found. They've released reports documenting the condition of those with disabilities in the facilities. In L.A. a disability peer group helps its members with the immigration process, obtaining assistive technology, and hosts support groups. We talk with Jose Luis-Jimenez, who's in a leadership role with Immigrants with Disabilities. Jose also organized an international goalball tournament in Southern California as the Trump administration made it harder for foreigners from certain parts of the world to visit the U.S. This episode of Pushing Limits is produced by Jacob Lesner-Buxton, hosted by Bonnie Elliott, and edited by Denny Daughters.

Why has gluten gotten such a bad rap lately? Is it really responsible for all the ailments it's blamed for? When is an allergy an allergy, and how do we have compassion for any number of very real sensitivities without throwing the baby out with the sourdough discard? Plus: the inevitable protein backlash has arrived, Viagra is unfortunately not a cure for cancer, and though it's out of the news cycle, the Ebola outbreak in the DRC is still raging.

Hii leo jaridani mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa akikuletea Muhtasari wa Habari na Mada kwa Kina. Kwa ujumla anaangazia masuala ya amani na usalama, usaidizi wa kibinadamu, amani na usalama, haki za binadamu na hali ya hewa.MUHTASARI1. Wimbi jipya la mashambulizi makubwa ya Urusi dhidi ya Ukraine yaliyosababisha vifo vya raia na majeruhi wengi, limelaaniwa vikali na Mratibu wa Masuala ya Kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa nchini Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, akisisitiza kuwa raia lazima walindwe kwa mujibu wa sheria za kimataifa za kibinadamu.Mashambulizi hayo ya usiku yaliyoanza mwezi huu wa Agosti yamekuja baada ya mwezi Julai kuwa mwezi ulioshuhudia idadi kubwa zaidi ya vifo vya raia nchini Ukraine tangu Aprili mwaka 2022. 2. Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, kupitia msemaji wake Jeremy Laurence, ameeleza wasiwasi mkubwa kuhusu kuongezeka kwa utekelezaji wa hukumu za kifo nchini Iran. Kwa mujibu wa Ofisi ya Haki za Binadamu ya Umoja wa Mataifa, adhabu ya kifo inaendelea kutumiwa kama njia ya kuwatia hofu wananchi na kukandamiza sauti za wanaopinga serikali.Akizungumza leo jijini Geneva, Uswisi, Jeremy Laurence amesema,“tunazihimiza mamlaka za Iran kusitisha mara moja utekelezaji wa hukumu zote za kifo na kuelekea katika kufuta kabisa adhabu ya kifo.” 3. Utafiti wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani (WFP) unaonesha kuwa uimarikaji wa mwenendo wa hali ya hewa ya El Niño unatarajiwa kuongeza kwa kiasi kikubwa uhaba wa chakula duniani hadi mwaka 2027. Shirika hilo linaongeza juhudi za kujiandaa na kukabiliana na athari hizo, huku El Niño ikiwa tayari imeanza kuwaathiri watu walio katika maeneo yenye hali ya njaa. MADA KWA KINAKituo kipya cha kutoa huduma kwa walioambukizwa ugonjwa wa Ebola, kinafunguliwa wiki hii huko Bunia, jimboni Ituri, Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, (DRC) ambako ndio kitovu cha mlipuko wa sasa wa Ebola ya virusi vya Bundibuvyo. Kituo hiki kitakuwa kituo kikubwa zaidi nchini humo cha kutibu Ebola. Je nini kinafanyika? Assumpta Massoi anatupitisha kwa kutumia video iliyoandaliwa na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kuratibu misaada ya dharura, OCHA. 

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya, katika Kijiji cha Embulbul kilichoko Kaunti ya Kajiado, ambako Shirika lisilo la kiserikali la Tulivu Safe Haven, lililoanzishwa kwa kushirikiana na wadau wakiwemo mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, linatekeleza hatua mbalimbali za kuwasaidia wanawake. Hii ni pamoja na kuwaokoa na kuwahifadhi manusura wa ukatili wa kijinsia kwa kuwapatia makazi salama, ushauri nasaha, msaada wa kisheria na uwezeshaji wa kiuchumi, sambamba na kuwarejesha shuleni wasichana walionusurika. Je, nini kinafanyika? Kupitia video iliyoandaliwa na Redio washirika wetu Domus, Feissal Kirwa amefuatilia simulizi za manusura na kutuandalia makala hii. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Maabara tembezi ya kupima virusi vya Ebola imewekwa katika mji wa mpakani wa Kasenyi ulioko kati ya Uganda na Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC ambako kuna hatari kubwa ya kushamiri kwa mlipuko wa Ebola kutokana na harakati nyingi za safari. Dkt. Olga Ntumba kutoka WHO ambayo inafadhili maabara hiyo inayotoa majibu ndani ya saa moja, amesema “virusi haviheshimu mipaka. Maabara hii ina mchango muhimu kubaini mapema wagonjwa, kuimarisha ufuatiliaji wa ugonjwa, kubadilishana taarifa na juhudi za mwitikio kwenye ukanda mzima.”Mioto ya nyika ikiendelea kutikisa maeneo ya kaskazini mwa dunia shirika la Umoja wa Matiafa la Afya duniani, WHO limekumbusha kuwa moshi utokanao na mioto hiyo ya nyika huvuka taifa, kanda na hata mabara na kuwa na madhara kwa watu hata wanaoishi mbali na moto wenyewe. Hivyo limetangaza mambo tisa ya kuzingatiwa ikiwemo kusikiliza taarifa za mamlaka kama vile viwango vya uchafuzi wa hewa, kuvaa barakoa na kusalia ndani ya nyumba na kufunga madirisha iwapo hujashauriwa kuhama.Na wiki ya kimataifa ya unyonyeshaji watoto maziwa ya mama ikianza kesho Agosti Mosi, Umoja wa Mataifa kupitia mashirika yake, lile la afya, (WHO) na la kuhudumia watoto, (UNICEF) umetaka nchi kuimarisha mifumo ya afya ili iweze kupatia akina mama na watoto wachanga msaada wa kufanikisha unyonyeshaji bora ambao ni msingi wa ukuaji bora wa mtoto na afya ya mama anayenyonyesha. Halikadhalika utekelezaji wa kanuni ya kimataifa kuhusu matangazo ya bidhaa za mbadala wa maziwa ya mama.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kyanda, karibu!

Cyclospora cases continue to climb in the U.S. but this isn't the first time we've had a multi-state outbreak linked to produce. Back in 1996, there was a major cyclospora outbreak across several states due to imported raspberries. It begs the question, have we learned anything from the past? Or are we repeating history all over again? This week hosts Chris Dall and Dr. Michael Osterholm focus on the cyclosporiasis outbreak, from the latest numbers, to how state and federal officials, as well as the media, have handled it all.

There's a photo on Tim Ireland's Google Scholar profile of a toddler standing on the floor of an open pit gold mine in Australia's Northern Territory, wearing a hard hat and — because it was the early 1980s — flip flops. That toddler is now the Principal Geologist for Exploration at **First Quantum Minerals**, one of the world's major copper producers, and in this episode Jesse sits down with him to talk about how mineral exploration actually works.Tim grew up with two geologist fathers, but the path in wasn't as direct as it sounds. He took a gap year as a field technician and mostly hated it. He considered leaving to design jewelry. He turned down a PhD because being told he'd become "one of the world experts on sedimentary rock–hosted zinc" sounded uncomfortably narrow — then spent a few years alone in the desert with a drill rig and 22,000 square kilometers of ground before the university called back with something better.From there we get into the machinery of exploration. Tim describes the job as **reducing search space** — starting with a continent and narrowing until you're willing to spend real money drilling — and why that philosophy holds whether you're chasing porphyry copper in Chile, sediment-hosted copper in the DRC, or orthomagmatic nickel in Finland. We also get into the part they don't teach in a mineral deposits course: three or four people weighing in over email on whether to spend millions on relatively scant information, and why what a company really pays a principal geologist for is a **calibrated gut**.The scientific heart of the episode is what Tim calls the **quality question**. Deposit models are good at telling a geologist whether they're getting warmer. They're not good at telling you whether the thing you're walking toward will ever be a mine — and the industry is full of "technical successes" nobody publishes, where the geologist did the job right and the deposit simply wasn't good enough. We also cover critical minerals and why the West is late (Tim was in the room in Oslo in 2007 when China announced the plan out loud), the 22-year lag from discovery to production, and why he's skeptical of AI prospectivity tools — if there are only ten porphyry deposits on Earth with more than a hundred million tons of contained copper, that's not a training set.It closes with Tim's best day as a geologist: alone in a gorge in the northern Chilean desert, a ten-mile traverse, a spire of rock he probably shouldn't have climbed, and one outcrop that put his hand on a fault he'd only been able to argue about on paper.In this episode- The Google Scholar baby photo — hard hat, flip flops, floor of an open pit- A gap year he didn't enjoy, and the jewelry business that never happened- Why he turned down a PhD on sedimentary zinc — and what he asked for instead- Industry-funded research: "cut-price consultants," or the best training pipeline there is?- Reducing search space: the one philosophy that holds across every deposit type- Spending millions on scant information, and what a calibrated gut is worth- Critical minerals, the 2007 Oslo warning, and who's still in denial- 22 years from discovery to production — and why averages lie- The quality question: why our models can't tell a mine from a "technical success"- AI in exploration: the useful camp, the black-box camp, and why ten deposits isn't a training set- Big company vs. junior — kudos versus shares, and the trade-off nobody spells out- Tim's best day as a geologist, alone in a Chilean gorgeAbout the guestDr. Tim Ireland is Principal Geologist for Exploration at First Quantum Minerals, a global copper-focused mining company. He trained at the University of Tasmania, with an honors project on the MacArthur River zinc deposit and a PhD on porphyry copper systems in northern Chile. His career has run through Newmont in Turkey, a junior working sediment-hosted copper in the DRC, and thirteen years at First Quantum.Memorable quotes- "If it were mathematical and there was a definite yes/no answer, we wouldn't be needed."- "You still have to do the work. You can't just sit at your desk and think about the model."- "If you've only got ten porphyry deposits in the world with more than a hundred million tons of contained copper, ten's not a great enough training set."- "I'm still kind of hanging out for that day that I walk up a hill and crack the first rock."Download the CampGeo app now at this link.

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Mlipuko wa sasa wa ebola ya virusi vya Bundibugyo uliotangazwa rasmi huko DRC mwezi Mei mwaka huu unazidi kuongezeka kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida, wamesema maafisa waandamizi wa Umoja wa Mataifa wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari Karl Skau, Kaimu Mkuu wa WFP, na ndio tunakupeleka nchini humo kufuatilia juhudi za kuudhibiti.Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema ni wakati wa dunia kuungana kukabiliana na biashara haramu ya usafirishaji wa watu, hususan aina mpya inayokua kwa kasi ya kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli kwa njia ya mtandao. Katika ujumbe wake wa kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kupambana na Biashara Haramu ya Usafirishaji wa Watu inayoadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe thelathini Julai, amesema wahalifu wanawavutia watu kwa ahadi za ajira nzuri, lakini baadaye wanawafanya mateka na kuwalazimisha kuendesha utapeli mtandaoni. Guterres amezitaka nchi kuridhia Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kupambana na Uhalifu wa Mtandao uliopitishwa mwaka 2024, kushirikiana kuvunja mitandao ya uhalifu na kuwasaidia manusura kurejea katika maisha yao ya kawaida.Nchini Ukraine, mashambulizi makubwa ya usiku yaliyojumuisha makombora na mamia ya ndege zisizo na rubani yamesababisha vifo na majeruhi katika maeneo kadhaa ya makazi, yakiwemo miji ya Kryvyi Rih, Kyiv na Lviv. Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kuratibu Masuala ya Kibinadamu, OCHA, imesema nyumba na shule za awali zimeharibiwa huku watoto wakiwa miongoni mwa waliouawa na kujeruhiwa. Kwa upande wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto, UNICEF, limesema watoto watatu wameuawa na wengine kadhaa kujeruhiwa, huku likiendelea kutoa msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia na usaidizi wa kifedha kwa familia zilizoathirika.Na Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, amelaani hatua za serikali ya Uganda zinazodaiwa kuendelea kubana uhuru wa msingi na kuzima sauti za wanaokosoa serikali. Amesema tangu uchaguzi mkuu wa Januari mwaka huu, viongozi wa upinzani, wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu na waandishi wa habari wamekumbwa na vitendo vya kutoweshwa, kukamatwa kiholela na mateso. Kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa leo na ofisi ya Bwana Türk ni kwamba ofisi hiyo imepokea taarifa zinazoonesha kuongezeka kwa ushiriki wa jeshi katika kutekeleza majukumu ambayo kwa kawaida hufanywa na taasisi za kiraia. Aidha, baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vimelazimika kusitisha shughuli zake kwa muda.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, na leo tunamkaribisha Ntahombaye Hussein, Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wanahabari wa Kiswahili nchini Burundi, CHAWARUNDI. Anafafanua maana ya neno, “KUSOROZA. ”Mwenyeji wako ni Feissal Kirwa, karibu!

Today's episode is a special bonus from the On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse hosted by Kristy Graham. What does it look like to trust God when He calls you into some of the world's most difficult and dangerous places? In this powerful episode, Kristy experiences firsthand what Samaritan's Purse Disaster Assistance Response Team members endure as they prepare to serve during the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Bev Kauffeldt, who has served on the last two Ebola responses, led Kristy through the training. Kristy got into the many layers of personal protection equipment to experience the process our DART members go through in the field. This inspired Kristy as she experienced the discomfort our teams willingly step into as they fight this dangerous outbreak. It also helped her know how to pray for our teams more specifically. At the training, Bev talked with Kristy about a passage of Scripture that has been on her heart: “This verse—I shared it with the team today because it's so perfect. In Acts 20:24, Paul says my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me by the Lord Jesus, the work of telling others of the good news about the wonderful grace of God.” — Bev Kauffeldt, paraphrasing Acts 20:24 As believers, we must have a posture of humility. Someone who speaks into this posture in this Ebola response is Dustin Martin, a water, sanitation and hygiene technical advisor who supports Samaritan's Purse field offices around the world. Dustin will likely go to the DRC soon. He shared how he is preparing both physically and spiritually to be deployed and why he desires to go serve in this dangerous situation. “I want to be able to go to the ends of the earth for people that I haven't even met before because that's what Christ did for me. He took on humility. He took on human form when He had no need to. And if He did that for me, there's just no appropriate response but to do that for others.” — Dustin Martin Once Kristy was out of the personal protective equipment, she met Kate Allen, an emergency doctor, who the Lord has called and sent to many DART responses, including Ukraine and Iraq. They spoke about putting on the armor of God, trusting that the Lord goes before us. We are not promised safety, but God does promise that He is with us always. “God doesn't say you're going to be absolutely fine … but He does promise that He goes with us. And He promises that He goes ahead. And He promises He hems us in from behind. So, we go with His Spirit, and we go knowing that He has a plan, and that He has already paid the ultimate price.” — Kate Allen If you'd like to keep up to date with more stories from On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse, please visit SamaritansPurse.org Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Hii leo jaridani tunaangazia mchakato wa kumpata Katibu Mkuu mpya wa UN,  juhudi za mashirika mbalimbali za kuhamazisha wananchi DRC kuhusu udhibiti wa Ebola, na mafunzo ya STEM viziwani Zanzibar zinazolenga kuimarisha kilimo cha mwani..Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa litakuwa na upigaji kura usio rasmi kesho Alhamisi wenye lengo la kutathmini uungwaji mkono wa wagombea saba waliojitokeza kumrithi Katibu Mkuu wa sasa Antonio Guterres anayemaliza muda wake mwishoni mwa mwaka huu. Je ni nini kinafanyika? Assumpta Massoi amekuwa anafuatilia mchakato huu na nimezungumza naye angalau atupatie kwa muhtasari.Kulingana na ripoti mpya kutoka mashirika ya Umoja wa Mataifa, mlipuko wa sasa wa Ebola ya Bundibugyo nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, (DRC) umekuwa mmoja wa milipuko mibaya zaidi kuwahi kutokea nchini humo. Huko Bunia, jimboni Ituri ambako ni kitovu cha mlipuko wa sasa wafanyakazi wa misaada ya kibinadamu wakiwemo madaktari wanaongeza juhudi zao za kuwahudumia wagonjwa wakati huu ambapo ripoti zinasema watu zaidi ya 500 wamepona Ebola ya sasa.  wanajamii ili kuzuia kuenea zaidi kwa ugonjwa huo.Je, ingekuwaje kama kila kijana kutoka visiwa vya Zanzibar nchini Tanzania angeweza kugeuza zao la mwani kuwa suluhisho la kiuchumi la kesho yake? Hilo ndilo lengo mradi wa shirika la kiraia la ProjeKt Inspire kupitia programu yake ya Girls in STEM, au Wasichana kwenye masomo ya Sayansi, Teknolojia, Uhandisi na Hisabati, unaoungwa mkono na Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto, UNICEF kwa ufadhili wa  Canada. Kupitia warsha wa siku tatu ya  masomo ya  STEM, wanafunzi wamejifunza kutumia masomo hayo kuongeza thamani ya zao la mwani na kuendeleza Uchumi wa buluu.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

For much of my life I knew nothing about Belgium's King Leopold II and his brutal subjugation of millions in the DRC - what was ironically then called the 'Congo Free State'. To be clear, millions were killed, terrorised and utterly exploited by a monarch who used the country as his personal colony. Adam Hochschild's powerful book, King Leopold's Ghost, makes for a deeply uncomfortable but essential read. I had the honour and privilege of speaking to him earlier this week. Hosted on Acast.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC kusikiliza simulizi za wananchi kuhusu uhamazishaji wa kudhibiti Ebola. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari.Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kupambana na Dawa za Kulevya na Uhalifu, UNODC, imeonya kuhusu ongezeko la usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu unaofanyika kupitia matangazo bandia ya mitadaoni ya fursa za ajira. Zaidi ya watu 300,000 wanakadiriwa kushikiliwa katika vituo vya ulaghai Kusini-Mashariki mwa bara la Asia, ambako hunyang'anywa hati za kusafiria na kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli mtandaoni.Kamanda wa Kikosi cha Ujumbe wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo DRC, MONUSCO, Luteni Jenerali Ulisses De Mesquita Gomes, amethibitisha dhamira ya ujumbe huo ya kuimarisha usalama wa vituo vya afya katika eneo la Mongbwalu, jimboni Ituri, ambalo ni kitovu cha mlipuko wa Ebola. Amesema mashambulizi ya makundi yenye silaha na watu kuyakimbia makazi yao vinaweza kuvuruga ufuatiliaji wa wagonjwa na upatikanaji wa matibabu.  Walinda amani wa Nepal wanaendelea kulinda raia na miundombinu ya afya, kwa kushirikiana na jeshi la Congo na mamlaka za eneo hilo.Na Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Dawa za Kulevya na Uhalifu, UNODC, imeonya kuhusu ongezeko la usafirishaji haramu wa binadamu unaofanyika kupitia matangazo bandia ya ajira mtandaoni. Zaidi ya watu 300,000 wanakadiriwa kushikiliwa katika vituo vya ulaghai Kusini-Mashariki mwa barani Asia, ambako hunyang'anywa pasipoti na kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli mtandaoni.  UNODC inasema uhalifu huo sasa unasambaa hadi Afrika na maeneo mengine duniani, na kuwataka wanaotafuta ajira nje ya nchi kuthibitisha kampuni, mikataba na mawakala kabla ya kusafiri.Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

On this episode we started off with Trump's 50% tariffs on Canada, the investigation into $1 billion medicaid fraud in Cali and Minn, and the house adopting a $95 billion budget plan. We then shift over to discuss the Iranian attacks on US bases and the surrounding areas resulting in the deaths of four us service members, bringing the total now to 18. Poland just flew their brand new f-35, the Houthis have blockaded Saudi Arabia, and we get an update on the ebola outbreak in the DRC.To join in on the conversation every Wednesday night at 9pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Aurélia Nguyen, Dep. CEO of CEPI (Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) shares her unusual personal and career story, including working with Andrew Witty at GSK, and with Seth Berkley at GAVI during Ebola in West Africa 2014-2015 and later during the COVID-19 pandemic when she managed the COVAX facility. "It was incredibly difficult." CEPI's 3.0 strategy focuses on viral families; technologies and platforms; and networks to rapidly conduct clinical trials and begin manufacturing. CEPI swung rapidly into action with the advent of the Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in Ituri, DRC. It struck a promising $50 million partnership with the Department of State in support of its work to accelerate development of four vaccine candidates. Clinical trials are beginning and will advance in the fall in the hot zone in eastern DRC. Mistrust and insecurity require intensive community engagement. Even with US and EU support, CEPI still strives to fill an estimated $130 million gap over the next 6-9 months. Her biggest worry? Cases have doubled in just 23 days. We are not yet able to gauge the true scale of the outbreak. 

During a landmark visit by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to the US, President Donald Trump vowed to help Lebanon "a lot" as the country sought Washington's backing for a fragile effort to disarm Hezbollah and forge a path to peace with Israel. Also on the programme: Ebola in the DRC spreading faster than any other outbreak according to health officials; and what is really to blame for Italy's obese children?
