Podcasts about Durban

In late Summer of 2001, the UN hosted what it called the “World Conference on Racism” in Durban, South Africa.Instead of combating racism, the conference incited it, becoming the worst international manifestation of Jew-hatred since World War II and the Nazi Holocaust.Cuban dictator Fidel Castro accused Israel of “genocide.” Yes, way back then.Gerald Steinberg, the founder and president of NGO Monitor, a think tank focused, as its name suggests, on non-governmental organizations, talks to host Cliff May about how and why those poisonous seeds were planted, and what they've grown into more than two decades later.

From a young age he was one of the most exciting surfers in the world, and in 1977 he became the IPS World Surfing Champion — one of the most celebrated titles in the history of the sport. He competed on the professional tour for 16 years, winning 19 major pro events, and was named one of the ten greatest surfers of the century by Surfer Magazine. He also revolutionised surfboard design and tube riding, leaving a mark on the sport that is still felt today.But Shaun's story doesn't stop at world titles. After retiring from competition he built successful surf apparel brands, became a passionate environmental advocate through his work with the Surfrider Foundation, and produced the award-winning documentary Bustin' Down the Door — the story of how his generation put professional surfing on the map.And then, in 2006, his teenage son Mathew died during a schoolboy prank gone wrong. By his own words, Shaun was totally lost in grief. What followed was one of the most remarkable acts of transformation I have ever heard — channelling unimaginable loss into a powerful message about resilience, purpose and living with intention. His books, including the bestselling Surfer's Code and The Code, and his keynote speaking work have since inspired everyone from Fortune 500 executives to students across the world.This conversation covers all of it. Shaun is warm, deeply human and one of the most inspiring people I have ever spoken to. This one will stay with you.In this episode we cover:Growing up in Durban, South Africa and falling in love with the oceanHis surfing career and winning the 1977 IPS World Surfing Championship16 years on tour, 19 major pro events and redefining tube ridingRevolutionising surfboard design and his impact on the sportBuilding iconic surf apparel brands Instinct and SolitudeHis environmental advocacy and work with the Surfrider FoundationProducing the award-winning documentary Bustin' Down the DoorThe death of his son Mathew and navigating unimaginable griefHow loss became the catalyst for his greatest purposeHis bestselling books Surfer's Code and The CodeHis keynote speaking and the Code Leadership MethodWhat he wants people to take from his storyIf this episode brought something up for you help is always there:

In August 2001, Jewish delegates arrived at the UN World Conference Against Racism in Durban expecting to fight bigotry. Instead they walked into what Tom Lantos called the most sickening display of hatred for Jews since the Nazi period. Noam traces how Durban revived "Zionism is racism," seeded the modern BDS movement, and still shapes how the world sees Jews and Israel today, closing with Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and his question of whether the Jewish people are alone or simply apart.

La SADC peut-elle encore peser sur les crises qui secouent l'Afrique australe ? Cette organisation régionale, qui réunit seize pays du sud du continent, tient son sommet des chefs d'État ce lundi 17 août à Durban, en Afrique du Sud. Alors que le conflit dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo a profondément mis à l'épreuve sa capacité à agir militairement et diplomatiquement, quel rôle peut-elle encore jouer face aux crises de la région ? Al Kitenge, expert en stratégie économique et en innovation, répond aux questions de Clothilde Hazard. RFI : Ce lundi se réunissent les chefs d'État de la SADC, l'Organisation régionale d'Afrique australe. Ces dernières années, la région a été secouée par de nombreuses crises importantes. La plus importante dans l'est de la RDC. Mais la SADC semble peiner à apporter des réponses efficaces à ces crises. Est-ce qu'elle est devenue impuissante ? Al Kitenge : Effectivement, la SADC est devenue quasi impuissante parce qu'elle n'a pas été en mesure de régler le problème géopolitique. Et cela a un impact complet sur tout le reste. Et les questions économiques et les questions de politique générale. Pour ce qui est de la crise à l'est de la RDC, comment vous expliquez l'échec de la SADC ? L'échec de la SADC est de n'avoir pas été en mesure de régler de manière frontale les questions qui opposaient ses propres membres. Donc, il est inacceptable que des questions d'instabilité se soient fait remarquer dans la région et que la SADC n'ait pas été en mesure de prendre des dispositions correctes. L'Angola a essayé, mais c'était des échecs successifs. Et le cas de la RDC est un cas non isolé. Quels sont les autres cas ? Le cas du Burundi avec le Rwanda, les grandes difficultés que l'on a aujourd'hui en Afrique du Sud avec les questions d'immigration. Comment vous expliquez que la SADC, justement sur le plan géopolitique, n'arrive pas à trouver des solutions ? La SADC n'est pas organisée pour régler ces situations. À la première épreuve, on s'est rendu compte qu'elle est extrêmement faible. Et ça, on le remarque également quand vous regardez les échanges commerciaux. Il n'y a aucune préférence d'échanges commerciaux entre les pays de la SADC et aujourd'hui, c'est la plus grosse faiblesse. On a les faiblesses géopolitiques, on a des faiblesses économiques. Ces pays n'ont pas les mêmes intérêts financiers. Lorsque vous regardez les pays anglophones, ils sont tournés vers le Royaume-Uni et les pays francophones sont tournés vers la France et la Belgique. Et cette dissension, justement, fait que dans les échanges commerciaux, les intérêts ne sont pas les mêmes. Regardez la question énergétique qui aurait pu être une question qui pouvait être réglée de manière claire. La SADC n'a pas de politique intégrée qui puisse être en mesure de résoudre les choses. Comment faire pour que les intérêts soient convergents justement ? Faire un petit peu ce qu'a échoué l'Union africaine, s'assurer que, du point de vue de l'intégration économique, les pays soient plus proches. En ayant une intégration économique, on peut avoir l'intégration politique et géopolitique. Il faudrait avoir une mutualisation d'un certain nombre d'éléments, en l'occurrence les infrastructures, les transports et l'énergie. Mais il y a quelque chose de très simple qu'il faudrait être en mesure de regarder. Aujourd'hui, nous avons le grand choc lié au détroit d'Ormuz. Et on se rend bien compte que, comme des gens sans intelligence collective, nous avons tous perdu. Et ce qu'il faut regarder aujourd'hui, c'est que, nous devrions avoir la possibilité de développer des solutions locales - quand je dis locales, ça veut dire régionales. Et cette question de Covid qui nous a pratiquement bousculé, la guerre entre l'Ukraine et la Russie, même chose, mais nous sommes en troisième choc frontal exogène qui aurait bien pu nous questionner. Mais si les gens ne se questionnent pas, ce sera très difficile qu'ils aient des résultats conjoints. Concrètement, est-ce qu'on parle de corridors ? Est-ce qu'on parle de politiques communes ? Quelles sont les marges de manœuvre de la SADC ? Les seules marges de manœuvre sont financières et économiques. Je donne un exemple très simple : l'Union africaine a échoué, en tout cas dans les dix dernières années, à mettre en place le centre d'échange financier. Rien qu'à cause de ça, nous sommes toujours sur le swift, qui est un élément qui ne permet pas des échanges locaux. C'est ce genre de choses qui auraient pu être des soudures entre les pays. Et tant que nous n'en sommes pas encore là, tant que nous n'avons pas les mêmes intérêts économiques et financiers, il est très difficile que le déséquilibre politique ou géopolitique d'un pays intéresse les autres. Est-ce que vous pensez que la SADC aujourd'hui s'attelle justement à régler ce problème d'intérêts différents ? Les citoyens de ces pays sont en train de regarder. Ce qui se passe en Afrique du Sud est une honte générale. Et si on n'arrive pas à résoudre toutes ces questions en même temps, la SADC aura perdu son crédit. Oui, le sommet a lieu à Durban, en Afrique du Sud. Les tensions anti-migrants dans le pays touchent directement plusieurs pays de la SADC, puisque beaucoup des migrants concernés viennent des pays voisins. Est-ce que c'est justement un dossier sur lequel l'organisation pourrait davantage intervenir et sur lequel elle pourrait discuter à l'occasion de ce sommet ? Déjà, pour qu'ils aient la capacité de se regarder droit dans les yeux, il faudrait qu'ils règlent et qu'ils parlent de manière frontale de la question et qu'elle soit traitée. Parce que le vivre ensemble des populations engendre les échanges commerciaux et les échanges des biens des personnes. Vous vous rendez bien compte, par exemple, pour le Congo : une grande part de Sud-Africains travaille dans le secteur minier. Imaginez que du jour au lendemain, on commence à chasser ces personnes. Ce sera la catastrophe la plus générale. Est-ce qu'aujourd'hui on a quand même des exemples de corridors de ces infrastructures partagées ? Si on prend des exemples concrets ? Le corridor de Lobito est en train d'en devenir un. Il part de Johannesburg, il passe par la Zambie, il va jusqu'en Angola. C'est une première opportunité. Et la deuxième opportunité, c'est le développement des nouvelles infrastructures. En RDC, par exemple, tout ce qui est Moanda et la RN1. Le corridor de Lobito sert des intérêts connus qui sont les intérêts des États-Unis, qui ont investi à la fois dans les infrastructures en Zambie, en Angola, même en termes de production d'énergie, mais également en termes de rail. Et cela voudrait justement aider la Zambie et la RDC à augmenter leur capacité de production en métaux stratégiques pour être en mesure d'alimenter le marché international. Ça touche la Zambie, ça touche la RDC et ça touche l'Angola, qui sont trois pays de la SADC. Et la capacité à résoudre des problèmes conjoints peut permettre justement que nous soyons en mesure de pouvoir consolider à la fois les relations pour que les uns et les autres soient interconnectés. La seule chose qui peut mettre les pays ensemble, ce sont leurs intérêts.

Moçambique: ANAMOLA deve exigir responsabilização e processar a polícia na província da Zambézia, defende jornalista. Angola: Como vai o acesso ao emprego e a formação profissional?

Suid-Afrikaanse president Cyril Ramaphosa sê die versterking van landbou-waardekettings en die bou van klimaat-veerkragtige voedselstelsels moet voorkeur geniet om voedselsekerheid te verbeter en volhoubare ekonomiese groei te ondersteun. Hy het tydens die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskaps-beraad in Durban gevra vir verhoogde landbouproduksie, sterker streeks-voedselreserwes en groter ondersteuning vir klein- en opkomende boere. Ramaphosa het lande ook aangemoedig om ten volle die geleenthede te benut wat die Afrika-vryhandelsgebied bied:

Die Nasionale Gesamentlike Operasionele en Intelligensiestruktuur sê drie mense wat probeer het om ongemagtigde toegang tot die 46ste beraad van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap in Durban te verkry, is in hegtenis geneem. Twee Kongolese burgers is Saterdag in hegtenis geneem nadat hulle probeer het om toegang tot die lokaal te verkry met akkreditasie wat nie aan hulle uitgereik is nie. Verlede week is 'n Zimbabwiese burger ook in hegtenis geneem nadat hy na bewering probeer het om akkreditasie te bekom onder die dekmantel van 'n uitvoerende kunstenaar. Nasionale polisiewoordvoerder, Athlenda Mathe, sê ontwrigting sal nie geduld word nie:

Die adjunkminister van Internasionale Betrekkinge en Samewerking, Thandi Moraka, het die media gevra om ʼn meer ingeligte begrip van migrasie en streeksverhoudings te help bevorder. Sy het mense wat Suid-Afrika binnekom aangemoedig om immigrasiewette en -regulasies na te kom voor vandag se 46ste algemene vergadering van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap in Durban. Moraka sê migrasie is ʼn wêreldwye verskynsel, want mense beweeg oor grense weens onder meer ekonomiese geleenthede en akademiese ontwikkeling:

17 Augustus 2026: Staatshoofde kom in Durban aan vir die 46ste beraad van die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkeling-gemeenskap. Die SAKP maak sy verkiesingsmanifes onafhanklik bekend. Die Amerikaanse senaat verleng AGOA vir 'n verdere twee jaar - ons praat oor die implikasies vir Suid-Afrika.

The 46th SADC Summit continues in Durban, KwaZulu Natal today. President Cyril Ramaphosa is hosting and chairing under the theme of industrialization, infrastructure, agriculture and critical minerals. The summit comes amid tensions in South Africa over recent deportations and perceived rising anti-foreigner sentiment. Leaders are expected to discuss migration, trade and regional stability. We spoke to Thembisa Fakude, Senior Research Fellow at Afrasid.

17 Augustus 2026: Die dodetal in Saterdagaand se bendeskietery in Newclare in Johannesburg styg tot vier. Die drukgroep teen ongedokumenteerde buitelanders, March and March, trek saam by die SAOG-beraad in Durban, op die dag wat die beraad migrasie bespreek. Johannesburgse beoog streng optrede teen mense wat op straat urineer.

NATJOINTS says three people have been arrested for allegedly attempting to circumvent accreditation and security measures at the 46th SADC Summit in Durban. Two Congolese nationals were arrested after allegedly using another person’s accreditation to access the summit venue. They face charges including fraud and impersonation. A Zimbabwean national was also arrested for allegedly attempting to obtain accreditation by claiming to be a performing artist. The suspect faces a charge of being illegally in South Africa. NATJOINTS warns that the misuse, sharing or falsification of accreditation will not be tolerated.It says security measures remain firmly in place, while lawful protests will be respected, but violence, intimidation and attempts to breach restricted areas will face the full might of the law.

He opens up about losing half of an album after a friendship breakup, turning that setback into a fresh start with a new EP, and the incredibly sweet story behind 'A Girl Like You', which was inspired by the very first time he met his fiancée.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die minister van internasionale betrekkinge en samewerking, Ronald Lamola, het die Suider-Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenskap gevra om die stryd teen honger te versterk. Die minister het in sy afsluitingsrede tydens die vergadering van die SAOG-ministersraad in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, die vordering geloof wat Tanzanië, Zambië, Zimbabwe en Namibië gemaak het in hul pogings om honger te bekamp. Lamola sê 58 miljoen mense in die streek leef egter steeds met die onsekerheid of daar kos op die tafel gaan wees:

We are fast approaching the 25th anniversary of a "travesty," as NGO Monitor's Prof. Gerald Steinberg calls it – the UN's Durban conference on racism. The corruption behind that event set the tone for the systemic corruption of non-governmental organizations ever since, especially in the campaign to isolate and destroy Israel. Prof. Steinberg and I walk through how the UN set up the conference to boost Islamists and leftist regimes, how NGOs have served that agenda since, and especially how that led directly to the NYT's infamous "rape dogs" story this year.

The Greatest Rivalry Tour is officially underway, and naturally that means it's time for everyone to start drawing enormous conclusions from a handful of rugby games that probably don't deserve enormous conclusions.First up, the All Blacks took on the Stormers in Cape Town and, for a good chunk of the game, it was a seriously butt-puckering affair. The All Blacks stuttered, spluttered and at times played more like poo than an international rugby side, while an under-strength Stormers team — missing their Springboks — gave them absolute hell. The ageless Deon Fourie was somehow still out there causing problems, before the All Blacks eventually located their rugby brains, pulled away late and finished with a 38–21 win.Then it was the Springboks' turn, heading to Argentina with plenty of big names left back in South Africa but still carrying some serious quality. Against an under-strength Pumas side, however, they made life look considerably harder than anyone expected.Cue several days of South African fans and pundits performing Olympic-level mental gymnastics explaining why the Bok performance was actually encouraging while the All Blacks' was apparently evidence that New Zealand rugby had entered its final death spiral.The more boring answer? There probably wasn't that much to read into either game.Then came Durban.On a sodden track, the All Blacks faced the Sharks in game two of the Greatest Rivalry series — and suddenly Ma'a Nonu appeared in a Sharks jersey. Because apparently 2026 has completely stopped obeying the normal laws of rugby.Before kick-off, Nonu produced one of the most surreal and memorable moments of the tour so far, standing alone and returning Kapa o Pango with a one-man haka.Unfortunately for the Sharks, that was about as competitive as the evening got.The All Blacks absolutely pumped a young Sharks side 54–0 in what eventually became more training run than test of character. Nonu arrived around the 60-minute mark, produced a couple of nice touches, and reminded everyone that he remains approximately 400 years old and still capable of playing professional rugby.Elsewhere, Australia edged Japan in a relatively tight affair, we attempt to decide whether anything we've seen so far actually matters, and begin the inevitable overanalysis as the real meat of the Greatest Rivalry Tour creeps closer.Sorry this one's a little late.Massive thanks to Sports4cast.com for the beers.Grab a beer and Enjoy

We are two games into the RGR Tour (Phil has exhausted our free tokens for the full name) and the All Blacks have as many questions as they do answers. Cape Town was treated to a spectacle on and off the field against a second string side, while Durban was a damp downer against a more formidable lineup. The Boks out-gritted the Argentinians away but at the cost of their captain, while the All Blacks have also been losing men early. How will the two teams cope over the coming weeks? Who will be first choice come the Ellis Park opener on both sides? We try to channel our inner Rassie and we're probably way off, but please have a listen anyway. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show.

The All Blacks are continuing to find the balance between physical dominance and a wide-ranging, up-tempo approach. The tourists' efforts up front were significantly more impressive during the 54-nil win over the Sharks in Durban, compared to their scratchy first-up win over the Stormers. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave recapped the action further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks have blitzed the Sharks 54-nil at a soaked Durban to go two wins from two matches on their rugby tour of South Africa. New Zealand ran in eight tries, six of which came in the second half. Former All Black Sir John Kirwan believes the side is making progress in preparing for how to shut down the Springboks in the first test on Sunday week. He told Mike Hosking they're breaking down how the South Africans play and the counters are starting to take shape – a better kicking game, kicking behind them, and trying to break down the closing of the gate defence. Kirwan says they're building in the right direction. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The All Blacks have scratched test halfback Cam Roigard from the 23-man squad as a precaution for tomorrow morning's second South African rugby tour match against the Sharks in Durban. He has what is being described as a tight calf muscle. Roigard was initially named on the bench with Kyle Preston to start, after being surplus to requirements in the opening win over the Stormers. Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave speculated further - ahead of kick-off tomorrow morning. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chosen by Dylan, Once Were Warriors was adapted from Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 novel by screenwriter Riwia Brown. Made for approximately NZ$2 million and filmed over a demanding six-week shoot, it marked the feature-directing debut of Lee Tamahori. Much of the production took place around Ōtara in South Auckland, grounding the film's urban Māori setting in real locations rather than a carefully polished studio version of New Zealand. Rena Owen and Temuera Morrison lead the cast as Beth and Jake Heke, supported by Julian Arahanga, Mamaengaroa Kerr-Bell, Taungaroa Emile and Cliff Curtis.The film became a major domestic success, earning approximately NZ$6.7 million and setting a new record at the New Zealand box office. It swept nine categories at the 1994 New Zealand Film Awards and collected further honours at festivals including Montreal, Durban, Venice and Rotterdam. Its international acclaim launched Tamahori towards Hollywood and helped raise the global profiles of Owen, Morrison and Curtis. More than three decades later, it remains one of New Zealand cinema's most influential, confronting and difficult-to-forget films. Definitely not one to throw on when the family asks for “something light.”TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISIn the streets of South Auckland… one family is fighting a war that nobody outside their home can see.Beth Heke dreams of holding her family together. But her husband Jake is a man of charm, pride and explosive rage—and when the drinking starts, their home becomes a battleground.As their children search for belonging in gangs, institutions and the traditions of their ancestors, Beth must rediscover the strength of the people she came from. This time… being a warrior means knowing what is worth fighting for.FUN FACTSOnce Were Warriors opened in only four New Zealand cinemas, yet still earned a record-breaking NZ$114,000 during its opening run.The house used as the Heke family home was a real state house on O'Connor Street in Ōtara.Local residents reportedly complained about the noise generated while the production filmed the Hekes' late-night parties.Producer Robin Scholes had previously worked mainly in television; this became the first feature released by Communicado Productions.Stuart Dryburgh's cinematography helped him build an international career that later included The Piano, The Painted Veil and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.Temuera Morrison later became internationally recognised as Jango Fett and the clone troopers in the Star Wars franchise.Rena Owen also joined the Star Wars universe, appearing in Attack of the Clones and providing additional voices for the film.Cliff Curtis has portrayed characters from numerous ethnic backgrounds throughout his career, but Once Were Warriors gave him one of his earliest major New Zealand film roles.A sequel, What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?, arrived in 1999, with Morrison and several other cast members returning.A twentieth-anniversary documentary, Once Were the Cast of Warriors, reunited members of the cast in 2014 to examine the film's impact and what happened after its release.SUPPORT THE SHOW If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Empezamos con un refrán de pueblo —el cántaro vacío es el que más ruido hace— para recordar que los idiotas gritan mucho pero nunca fueron mayoría, y de ahí saltamos al cielo de Irán: un piloto de F-15 derribado (por segunda vez en semanas, ojo, la primera por fuego amigo) que asegura haber visto una "medusa" de drones interconectados flotando sobre él, un relato tan raro que ha abierto un debate sin cerrar dentro de la inteligencia estadounidense. Después, una Iotopía dedicada a tres nombres imprescindibles de lo insólito: Charles Fort, el hombre que fichó 25.000 hechos malditos; Charles Richet, premio Nobel entregado a la metapsíquica; y J. B. Rhine, el padre estadístico de la parapsicología. Viajamos también al año 365 para contar cómo el jefe de la oficina de secretos del Imperio Romano, Procopio, estuvo a punto de quedarse con media Roma con una túnica prestada y un trapito púrpura en la mano. Y dos casos ovni de primera división: Falcon Lake, el expediente canadiense de 1967 en el que Stefan Michalak acabó con el pecho quemado en cuadrícula y una investigación oficial incapaz de refutar su historia; y la carta privada de Barbara Graves, escrita en 1953 desde Durban y aparecida hace nada en una caja de un mercadillo inglés, que casualmente coincide en día y ciudad con el avistamiento de dos oficiales de la Fuerza Aérea sudafricana.

Chris, Tom and GRO preview the final round of the Nation's Championship this summer. Can Sam Prendergast cement his position as Ireland's number one fly-half as Andy Farrell's side look to become the first team to win at Eden Park since 1994. Can the Wales maul bring them any joy against the Springboks in Durban? The pod is full of admiration for Jesse Kriel and it prompts GRO to quiz the guys on the most-capped centre partnerships in Test rugby. Is it time for Fiji to move away from the offload game? And can England end the summer on a high? Tom explains why he's got Argentina as favourites in Santiago del Estero.

Scotland push the Springboks to the limit and may have revealed a blueprint for troubling the world champions, but a second-half surge by the Boks leaves them wondering what might have been. England stop the rot with an 11-try demolition of Fiji, although questions remain over how much the result really tells us ahead of Argentina. Bigs breaks down Wales' reality check against Los Pumas and the daunting trip to Durban, while the lads look ahead to Ireland's shot at ending the All Blacks' 52-match unbeaten run at Eden Park. Plus, Australia collapse again, France unleash Jalibert and Ntamack together, Rassie's incredible squad depth, Henry Pollock's hat-trick and all the latest news from across the rugby world.

Lauren Salter and Gareth Rhys Owen are joined by Scott Baldwin and James Hook to dissect Wales' loss in San Juan before looking ahead to playing the Springboks in Durban.

Ben Stokes has just announced his retirement from international cricket. And the person who can best explain what that decision truly costs — and what Stokes has meant as a captain and a human being — is Stuart Broad.Stuart retired in 2023 on his own terms: last ball, The Oval, England versus Australia. In this conversation, he tells the full story of the night he walked down the hotel corridor and knocked on Stokesy's door to tell him it was over. What happened in that room, and how he felt when he woke up the next morning, is something every leader will recognise.But this conversation goes much deeper than retirement. Stuart opens up about the T20 World Cup in Durban — the day six sixes were hit off one over, and how the humiliation changed everything. He explains the mental frameworks he quietly built over the following 16 years: warrior mode, assassin mode, the daily note-making practice that started as a cricket habit and became a life habit. And he makes a case that the game is not 80% mental — it's closer to 90.A brilliant episode on performance, legacy, and knowing when to walk away.Thanks to our partners: Revolut Business

Protests take place in several South African cities against undocumented migrants. Demonstrators say they're taking jobs from locals, putting pressure on public services and causing crime. Many immigrants have already been forced to leave. Also: people in Venezuela are still searching damaged buildings for missing family and friends following last week's earthquakes. A Chinese tycoon who moved to the United States has been sent to prison for 30 years for fraud. Britain has announced a large increase in defence spending to meet an increased threat from Russia. And Nasa is preparing to launch a mission to save an ageing telescope, and stop it from falling back to earth.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.
