In this episode, we sit down with Shaina Potts, author of Judicial Territory: Law, Capital, and the Expansion of American Empire (Duke University Press, 2024)—a groundbreaking book that reveals how U.S. courts have quietly become instruments of global economic governance. Drawing on legal geography and a sharp understanding of finance and political economy, Shaina uncovers how American judicial authority has extended beyond borders to discipline postcolonial states, enforce the primacy of private property, and protect the rights of foreign investors. This legal reach—what she calls judicial territory—has been a crucial, yet overlooked, pillar of U.S. empire and the liberal international order. The conversation unpacks how doctrines like foreign sovereign immunity and the act of state doctrine have enabled courts in New York and elsewhere to shape global capital flows, often treating foreign governments like private firms. Through detailed case studies—such as a startling instance where a U.S. court orders Ghana to seize an Argentine ship—we trace the long arc of legal imperialism from the Cold War through today's multipolar tensions. We also ask: Could China or Russia create alternative legal geographies of power? What does the future hold for judicial authority in fields like tech regulation, climate, and global finance? GUEST BIO: Dr. Shaina Potts is an economic, legal, and political geographer and Associate Professor at UCLA. She focuses on the articulation of international political economy, geopolitics, and law. In the age of globalization, cross-border economic processes are often treated as placeless, ubiquitous flows, making nation-states and borders increasingly obsolete. Her work shows, in contrast, how transnational economic relations are inscribed in concrete and geographically specific legal and institutional practices and that states remain central to producing and governing this activity. Much of her research combines analyses of technical, economic, and legal processes with extensive historical and geopolitical contextualization to show how the perpetuation of North-South economic inequalities is shaped by the micro-operations of contracts, financial transactions, and law. A strand of her research focuses on financial geographies of sovereign debt, with a focus on debt crises in the Global South.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He joined the History faculty at Harvard upon receiving his Ph.D. in African History from the University of Virginia in 1993. He received his master's degree at Wake Forest University in North Carolina in 1989, where he concentrated on English labor history, and his bachelor's degree in History and Religions from the University of Ghana at Legon in 1984. Professor Akyeampong is currently the Ellen Gurney Professor of Professor Akyeampong's publications include Themes in West Africa's History (2005), which he edited; Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana, 1850 to Recent Times (2001); and Drink, Power and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana, c. 1800 to Present Times (1996). He was a co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., for the Dictionary of African Biography, 6 Vols. (2012). Professor Akyeampong has been awarded several research fellowships, and from 1993 to 1994, he was the Zora Neale Hurston Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and Research in the African Humanities at Northwestern University. He was named a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 2002, and was nominated to be a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2018 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Ghana. At Harvard, Professor Akyeampong is a faculty associate for the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and a member of the executive committee of the Hutchins Center. As a former chair of the Committee on African Studies, he has been instrumental, along with Professor Gates, in creating the Department of African and African American Studies and formerly served as the Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Center for African Studies.

A very slow week of boxing occurred with the highlights being Richardson Hitchins stopping George Kambosos Jr, which would lead to a call-out of former two-division titleholder Devin Haney. Andy Cruz stopped Hironori Mishiro. This win makes Cruz mandatory for Raymond Muratalla's IBF title. Friday night, two things to talk about: A card in Ghana went on until the early morning with Andrew Tabiti getting a stoppage win, and LeAnna Cruz had to get off the deck to win her fight against Regina Chavez. Israel Mercado upset Branden Pizarro in the co-feature. Looking ahead to Thursday, WBO welterweight titleholder Brian Norman Jr faces Jin Sasaki. Is this a Fight of the Year or a mismatch?

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crazyjames/bthdYoutubeInstagramBioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonicfirestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beatthat's as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of hisartistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it's impossible not to feel it.“BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the recorditself. “I've always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.“They're a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and theirmelodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in theUK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in hisDNA.From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. Theproduction strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia whilesounding distinctly 2025. James' delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifullydynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-pacedwordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straightaway—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had toget it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking inreferences to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I liketo play with words,” he says. “People always say I'm hard to categorize—but that's thepoint. There's no sound for me. I just create what's true.”The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuringprevious releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many ofwhich have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album isintentional,” James says. “You won't skip a single track.”The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals forboth “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.“There's even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.' We're planning tofilm in Berlin later this year.”What sets Crazy James apart isn't just his sound—it's the spirit behind it. Drawing on achildhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Jameschannels a multicultural perspective into music that's rich with soul, struggle, andhonesty. Whether he's reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, hedoes so with an unshakable authenticity.“Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it's worth it. I rap toexpress what's inside me—and to let people know they're not alone.”Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It's tough,”he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he's not just rapping—he's building a legacy.“Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing. More amazingmaterial is on the way.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Today, we highlight Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Glorious Lord in the Church around the world. Thank you all for listening. We are looking at the earthly conversations Jesus had, as recorded in the gospels, to see if we are able to glean anything useful for our prayer lives. Our latest segment comes from John chapter 2 and the wedding party at Cana. We find not only is He the God of the impossible, but He can accomplish multiple things through one prayer.The prayer of Mary, "They have no wine." Began a miracle, at least 180 gallons of good wine. Although the miracle was a "quiet one," it accomplished all Mary had prayed, but it set the beginning of the evangelist team God would use to turn the world upside down. "This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." John 2:11Our So What?When we cast our prayers to the heart of our God, we scarce know how those prayers may be used in the plan of the Almighty. Therefore, we heed then the exhortations of E.M. Bounds and the apostle Paul:"Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account." " Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, en première partie, l'océan. Vient de s'achever à Nice, en France, la 3è conférence des Nations unies sur l'océan alors que le changement climatique rend plus difficiles les nombreux défis à relever dans cet espace qui représente tout de même 70% de la planète. À l'ordre du jour, entre autres, les menaces sur la pêche nourricière. Exemple, en Afrique de l'Ouest, où les communautés de pêcheurs ont été très fragilisées ces dernières années. Plusieurs de nos reporters sont partis recueillir des témoignages de pêcheurs sur les rivages ouest-africains. En deuxième partie, nous traitons de l'immigration venue d'Afrique à destination de l'Europe. La Tunisie est un point de passage privilégié avant la très risquée traversée de la Méditerranée, et les autorités tunisiennes sont engagées dans un processus d'endiguement de cette migration Sud-Nord. Communautés de pêcheurs ouest-africaines, menace sur la ressource Toute cette semaine, la ville de Nice dans le sud de la France accueille la troisième conférence des Nations unies sur l'océan. L'océan, qui occupe 70% de notre planète, est sous pression du changement climatique et malmené par l'activité humaine. Au point, parfois, de ne plus offrir aux populations des littoraux les ressources nécessaires. C'est le cas en Afrique de l'Ouest, où les communautés de pêcheurs ont été très fragilisées ces dernières années. Plusieurs reporters de RFI sont allés à leur rencontre en Guinée, en Sierra Leone, au Ghana et au Sénégal. Un Grand reportage de Laurent Correau. Avec Lizza Fabbian, Léa-Lisa Westerhoff, Juliette Dubois, Kpénahi Traoré, Tangi Bihan, Victor Cariou. Entretien avec Jacques Allix. Tunisie : une lutte contre l'immigration, au bénéfice de l'Europe La Tunisie refuse d'être un pays d'accueil et de transit pour les migrants subsahariens. Une politique martelée par les autorités depuis 2023, dans la foulée des propos polémiques du président Kaïs Saïed sur le risque d'un changement démographique de la Tunisie à cause de l'immigration. Depuis, les contrôles des migrants en situation irrégulière se sont accentués. Leur vie est devenue quasi-impossible. La gestion de ce flux migratoire venu du Sud fait polémique en Tunisie, mais reçoit le soutien implicite des puissances européennes, soucieuses d'endiguer les nombreuses arrivées à leurs frontières. Un Grand reportage de Lilia Blaise qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.
The first group of South African soldiers deployed to the Democratic Republic of Congo, arrive back in the country today. South Africa sent around one thousand five hundred troops to the DRC as part of a wider peacekeeping mission. In February, at least fourteen soldiers were killed during heavy clashes with the M23, a group fighting against the national government led by President Felix Tishekedi. At home in South Africa there has been public debate about the need for this deployment. Richard discusses the delayed end of mission amid reports of low morale and poor conditions in DRC with the BBC's reporter, Nomsa Maseko.
