Nearly a decade ago in Ghana, 15-year-old Kevin Moses died at Achimota High School. In a landmark ruling last year, Ghana's High Court found the school negligent for Kevin's death. The school has appealed that decision. Between May 2023 and February 2024, six students died while in boarding school. Why are children dying in schools in Ghana? Also, we hear differing views on what caused the recent floods in Sudan. And how Nigeria's Green Falcons could become the first African team to qualify for the Women's Rugby League World Cup?Presenter: Nyasha Michelle Producers: Patricia Whitehorne, Piers Edwards and Stefania Okereke in London Senior Journalist: Yvette Twagiramariya Technical Producer: Pat Sissons Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi

Terres rares, ressources fossiles, sèves attractives ou métaux précieux, certaines matières valent de l'or et transforment les territoires où on les trouve. Comment ces substances sont devenues si précieuses à nos yeux et comment ont-elles transformé l'histoire des territoires où elles gisaient ? Une histoire humaine tout autant qu'industrielle. L'or se trouve en Afrique du Sud, au Ghana, au Pérou, en Indonésie, mais également au Canada, en Russie, aux États-Unis et en Chine. On en rencontre même dans les Alpes suisses. Utilisé depuis l'Antiquité, et probablement bien avant, ce métal précieux a toujours fasciné par son éclat et sa rareté. Parmi les grandes ruées vers l'or, celle de Californie occupe une place singulière. Ce que l'on sait moins, c'est que l'or californien fut découvert par un aventurier d'origine suisse, John Sutter - ou Sütter avant son américanisation. Plus méconnu encore demeure le rôle de son compatriote Jean-Jacques Vioget. Pourquoi l'histoire a-t-elle retenu le nom du premier plutôt que celui du second ? Avec Claudine Chalmers, historienne.

Howard K. French, professor, journalist and bestselling author talks about his new book "Second Emancipation" with Host Llewellyn King and Co-host Adam Clayton Powell III. The book is the second installment in a trilogy, which refers to the brief period beginning in 1957 when a slew of African colonies became countries. The liberation, French writes in his book, was at the center of a "movement of blackness," led by Ghana's charismatic first president, Kwame Nkrumah.

The world's population growth tells two stories: in many countries populations are aging, while in others, populations are getting younger. Projections show most countries will likely see shrinking populations within the next 25 years due to historically low fertility rates.But the African continent is bucking this trend.

Let's talk legacy, land, and liberation. In this powerful episode, we're traveling across Africa, from Uganda to Rwanda, Ghana to Kenya, to explore how women are reclaiming land, rewriting inheritance laws, and building wealth from the ground up. You'll hear about bold grassroots movements, legal reforms, and everyday women saying no more to being written out of wealth. This is about all of us. Not just about Africa. Because when women own assets, we don't just hold wealth, we multiply it for generations. If you've ever wondered why land ownership matters or whether your name is on the right deeds, this episode will spark some serious reflection and action.

Analysis and discussion of news and current affairs in Ghana with panellists

On April 3, 2025, Julie Washington was appointed interim dean of the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine. No stranger to leadership roles, the professor of education was already associate dean for faculty development and diversity at the school, where she's been a member of the faculty since 2021. Before that, Washington served as professor and chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Georgia State University and professor and chair of the Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Washington describes herself as a “language nerd” who, during her high school years, frequently won oratory contests and reveled in the art of diagramming sentences. After working with a speech-language pathologist for voice therapy during that same period of her life, Washington knew she had found the career she wanted to pursue. Most recently, her research has centered around how language impacts reading and writing and how it develops in children who learn variations of American English in their communities. Washington shares her expertise worldwide – this summer, she served as the keynote speaker at the Africa Dyslexia Conference, held in Accra, Ghana, an event co-sponsored by UC Irvine's School of Education. In this episode of The UC Irvine Podcast, we'll learn more about her origin story and the work she's leading with UC Irvine's Language Variation and Academic Success lab and Learning Disabilities Research Innovation Hub, which is funded by the National Institute of Health's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Washington will also share where she's seeing the positive impacts of AI in education, why research drives practice in the field, and how she plans to lead her school and maintain its nationally recognized reputation during this time of funding uncertainty. “Words” the music for this episode, was provided by Audionautix via the audio library in YouTube Studio.

This week at the United Nations General Assembly, Syria's new interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa came with a message: Syria is back after being isolated for about six decades. Also, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the UN Climate Summit the country's first national emissions reduction targets. It marks a shift in China's approach to climate policy, which, until now, allowed emissions to grow in tandem with economic growth. And, Denmark issued a formal apology yesterday for forcing Indigenous women and girls from Greenland to use contraceptive devices. Beginning in the 1960s, Danish doctors inserted IUDs into thousands of Inuit women and school-age girls, often without their or their parents' knowledge or consent. Plus, climate change has exacerbated drought and extreme weather in northern Ghana, leaving many in the agricultural region struggling to grow enough food.

Kwame Agyei is the founder and CEO of Appoynt. He is based in London, UK with operations in Ghana. In this conversation with Peter Ryan, Kwame tells the story of how and why he founded Appoynt during the Covid pandemic and the opportunity for more businesses to work with partners in Ghana. https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwame-agyei-b3ab1333/ https://www.appoynt.co.uk/ --- SUMMARY Mark Hillary and Peter Ryan discuss the growth of BPO services in Ghana, highlighting Kwame Agyei's venture, Appoynt. Kwame, an accountant by background, founded Appoynt during the COVID-19 pandemic to leverage Ghana's talent and regional advantages. The company specializes in back-office support, accounts receivable, and customer support for SMBs in the US and UK.

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes – collectively known as blue carbon – are some of the most efficient natural carbon sinks on the planet, storing carbon up to 10 times faster than terrestrial forests. They also protect coastlines, support fisheries and provide critical habitat for biodiversity. Yet these ecosystems are disappearing rapidly, and their protection remains underfunded in most climate strategies.   The importance of blue carbon is beginning to gain traction among corporate sustainability teams, but it still represents a small share of nature-based investments. There's a clear opportunity to change that, especially in regions such as west Africa where high-impact restoration efforts are underway. Our panel of experts: Whitney Johston, director of ocean sustainability, Salesforce Yihan Wang, strategy and climate impact, Terraformation Amy Schmid, global blue carbon project lead, Conservation International Ledama Masidza, founder and marine conservationist, KindWorld Project The discussion covers: What to look for in a high-quality blue carbon project How blue carbon fits into broader net-zero strategies Why west Africa is a critical region for scalable blue carbon investment This session is designed for corporate sustainability, ESG, and procurement professionals exploring nature-based climate solutions. Case study: This session studies ReDAW, a mangrove restoration project in Ghana's Anlo wetlands. It's one of the few blue carbon projects of its kind currently in development globally, demonstrating measurable impact for climate, communities, and biodiversity. We also explore what credible blue carbon projects look like today, where the gaps are, and how companies can support this work in a way that aligns with climate, nature, and community goals.

The US has now struck deals with five African countries to accept deportees convicted of crimes. The individuals aren’t sent to their countries of origin, but to a third country.

And what happens to due process for the people caught in between?

Every coffee drinker is a drug addict? That's a bold, and heavy, claim to just be throwing around; but my expert today assures us that it is the truth, and backs that up with enormous studies all compiled in one book.   Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.   I'm your host as always Colton Petry.  My guest today is Norbert Heuser, and unfortunately for everyone who experienced a brief superiority to coffee drinkers: You too are probably a drug addict in the same way. Shockingly, 80% of the global population uses a psychoactive substance regularly; it's known as "Caffeine". Feel free to scoff now, but Norbert does indeed show how bad caffeine can truly be for the human body, and how long the hidden effects can last for; if they don't become permanent that is... Sadly, we got disconnected towards the end of the interview, due to a total outage in our guest's area, but I still think it's a provocative listen. ( Https://Www.ImproveYourLifeWithNorbert.Com )  ( Https://Www..Com -  )  ( Www..Com )  ( https://a.co/d/gUbiUA6 will take you to: Www.Amazon.Com "Coffee Addiction & Caffeinism: Every Coffee-Drinker is a Drug Addict" )  (  will take you to: Www.YouTube.Com - "Kim Nugent - YouTube Home" )    Let's stop bragging about our caffeine addictions!    I know that end was a bit abrupt, as I warned, but in just looking up caffeine products, I can find them in: Drinks, beans, nuts, teas, snack bars, powders, pills, pouches, gummies, candies, and so many more. Is this why we're all so burnt out all the time? We all just owe a colossal sleep debt? And for what, if we aren't doing it for ourselves?      In ranking news... September is here, and the global ranks are now as follows:  1. Ireland! What the what?!  2. New Zealand! Is everyone seeing this? 3. The United States, with California, Wisconsin, and Virginia out front.  4. Australia, with Queensland dominating.  5.

Headstrong: Women Porters, Blackness, and Modernity in Accra (U Pennsylvania Press, 2025) explores the experiences of women porters, called kayayei, in Accra, Ghana. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork, anthropologist Laurian R. Bowles shows how kayayei navigate precarity, bringing into sharp relief how racialization, rooted in histories of colonialism and enslavement, undergirds capital accumulation in Ghana. Bowles's ethnographic storytelling follows these women through their work as human transporters at Ghanaian markets. In creatively reappropriating public spaces as private sanctuaries, and in reimagining expected social relations through the cultivation of liberatory same-sex intimacies, kayayei develop ways to cope with the demands of their arduous labor while refusing narratives of victimhood projected on African women. Bowles's analysis of the emotional labor of the gig economy in Africa shows how the infrastructure anxieties of a modernizing city intersect with the complexities of blackness in a racially homogeneous nation, uncovering how antiblackness emerges in everyday public discourse, development agendas, and privately expressed anxieties about labor, gender, and sexual politics in Accra. Illustrating how race, sexuality, and gender manifest in daily life, Bowles centers kayayei, often perceived to be obstacles to progress and modernity, at the forefront for understanding urban Ghana's aspirations and anxieties about what it means to be a modern African country. Grounded in African feminist theory and Black feminist ethnography, Headstrong uses women's narratives as the central analytic for understanding the look and feel of modernity in Accra, challenging long-standing notions of gender, race, and desire in Africa. Laurian Bowles is the Vann Professor of Racial Justice and Associate Professor & Chair of the Anthropology Department at Davidson College.

A group of deportees from the US have sued the Ghanaian government, alleging they've been detained illegally. We talk to the lawyer representing these deportees and ask what legal framework underpins this US-Ghana deportation deal? And how does this situation tests the principles of human rights? Also in the programme: The BBC has managed to get rare access into Sudan's oil-rich Kordofan region, which has turned into a major front line in the war between the army and rival paramilitary forces. We hear about the people caught up in the fighting.And a 3000-year-old bracelet has been stolen and melted down in Egypt, raising questions about how the country protects its artefacts.Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers : Yvette Twagiramariya, Patricia Whitehorse and Makouchi Okafor Senior Producer: Sunita Nahar Technical producer: Jonathan Greer Editors: Andre Lombard, Samuel Murunga, Maryam Abdalla and Alice Muthengi

Tom opens the show correcting two errors he made recently. Listen in to hear what he got wrong. Tom then shares the results of an X poll he conducted on Ferrari colors. Turns out white is NOT a popular choice for the Italian sports cars. The hosts also acknowledge the end of production for the Subaru Legacy midsize sedan. Jill notes that the car never had much impact on a segment ruled by the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Jill and Tom also share news regarding the Nissan Ariya electric crossover, which will not be sold in the U.S. after 2025. Nissan is focusing its efforts on the launch of the all-new, more-affordable, Nissan Leaf EV. Still in the first segment, the hosts review the Audi SQ8 and RS Q8 performance crossovers. The hosts are generally impressed by the luxury fastback crossovers, though Jill had some tech issues. In the second segment, the hosts welcome the ConsumerMan Herb Weisbaum to the show. Herb shares news and pointers regarding buying car insurance, and knowing how much insurance you need. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Does Volkswagen Build There?” quiz, including a bonus question about fast food in Ghana. Jill wraps on the show sharing the list of this year's North American Car of the Year award candidates.

Kate Adie introduces stories from across Europe, Nepal, Ghana, and Moldova-Transnistria.As countries across Europe harden their stance on immigration, Fergal Keane retraces the journeys refugees have taken over the years, including stories he has heard from Ireland, Syria, Turkey and Sweden.Nepal's government was dramatically overthrown in the deadliest unrest seen in the Himalayan country in decades, triggered by a social media ban and anger at corruption and high unemployment. Charlotte Scarr was in Kathmandu as the protests continued.Ghana is the world's largest importer of used clothing, with millions of garments arriving every week, donated from countries like the UK and US – but it's often the quality, not the quantity which is proving a problem. Hannah Gelbart has been to Accra to see the impact of fast fashion.And finally, in east Moldova is the self-declared separatist state of Transnistria. Home to around 350,000 people, the region broke away from Moldova in 1990 – though neither Moldova or the international community recognises its independence. Despite the schism, Transnistrians still have a say in what goes on in Moldova - and will be voting in next weekend's election. Peter Yeung recently paid a visit.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinator: Rosie Strawbridge Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

It is illegal for federal officials to “jawbone” private actors into punishing other private actors for their speech, but for relief to be possible, there has to be a pretty clear connection between the jawboning and the speech restriction. Listen for our analysis, and who could even sue here.Paying subscribers, there's much more this week including:* Our look at the first criminal charges against Tyler Robinson, who faces the death penalty in Utah.* A look at Donald Trump's new defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, and Nina Jankowicz's loss on appeal in her suit against Fox News (about which she is incensed).* Why Lisa Cook remains on the Federal Reserve Board, for now (it has to do with the Fed being a special, unique entity in a long historical tradition).* The reason for the dismissal of terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, and a look at why, in New York, a trial court is “Supreme” but premeditated murder is merely “second degree.”* And why Judge Tanya Chutkan found there was nothing she could do for migrants whose removals to Ghana sure appeared designed to get them back to their home countries, despite having court orders prohibiting their removal to those countries.Visit serioustrouble.show to upgrade your subscription.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Trymaine Lee's new memoir, A Thousand Ways to Die: The True Cost of Violence on Black Life in America, is part history, and part personal. He traces the bloody history Black Americans have with firearms, recalls the gun violence in his own youth and follows his ancestors' path back to Ghana. The book reads like a plea for people to see the humanity of those lost to gun violence — and for this country to care enough to act. Lee spoke with Tonya Mosley about the toll of writing about Black death. Also, Kevin Whitehead reviews a new anthology of Joni Mitchell's jazz connections. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
