Tommy and Ben explain how President Trump forfeited our advantage in the artificial intelligence race by allowing Nvidia to sell advanced AI chips to China, break down the new White House National Security Strategy document and debate whether it matters, and explain how fighting between Thailand and Cambodia and between the DRC and Rwanda has exposed Trump's “peacemaker” image as a sham. They also talk about the lack of progress on a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, the bizarre story of a fake coup in Guinea Bissau, an attempted coup in Benin, troubling reports from Yemen's civil war, and former British Prime Minister Liz Truss's hilariously bad podcast debut. Then Tommy speaks to Anika Wells, Australia's Minister for Communications and Sport, about the country's social media ban for kids under 16.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Hace varios días, un grupo de militares tomaron el poder en Guinea Bissau justo un día antes de que la Comisión Electoral del país africano anunciara los resultados de unas elecciones muy polémicas. Quien fuera presidente hasta el 26 de noviembre, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, fue detenido y liberados a los pocos días, cuando salió del país. En Guinea Bissau, mientras, ya hay un presidente interino y el proceso electoral ha quedado interrumpido. Analizamos esta situación con el experto en el continente africano Omer Freixa.

Hoy hablamos de la creciente crisis de confianza de Ucrania y sus socios europeos en los EEUU de Donald Trump. Estas negociaciones que se están llevando a cabo entre EEUU y Rusia evidencian que, a día de hoy, los emisarios de Trump parecen alinearse más con las exigencias de Vladimir Putin que con las de Kiev y las capitales europeas.Vamos a hablar del informe que detalla cómo fueron las circunstancias en torno a la mujer británica que falleció por usar un perfume en el que encontraron trazas del agente nervioso Novichok. También de la exjefa de política exterior de la Unión Europea, Federica Mogherini, que hoy ha presentado su renuncia como directora de un instituto de estudios europeos. También estará con nosotros el africanista Omer Freixa para analizar cuál es la situación en Guinea Bissau después del golpe de Estado.Escuchar audio

Right before results of a highly-contested election were due to be announced, Guinea-Bissau’s government fell to a military coup that leaders in West Africa are calling a sham. In a nation where most people rely on growing cashews for a living, cocaine trafficking casts a long shadow. Guinea-Bissau is often referred to as “Africa’s first narco-state.” What does the future hold now?

Hoy, en el Día Internacionalidad de Solidaridad con el Pueblo Palestino, arrancamos con ejecución de dos palestinos desarmados en Cisjordania y el asedio del Ejército a varias ciudades. Repasamos también la escalada de las tensiones entre Estados Unidos y Venezuela, y analizamos el golpe de Estado militar en Guinea Bissau en pleno recuento de las elecciones presidenciales. La fotografía de la semana pone el foco en el devastador incendio que ha arrasado un complejo residencial en Hong Kong. Y hacemos paradas también en Ucrania, Birmania, Francia y Argentina.

This week brought frantic peace manoeuvres over Ukraine, as a leaked 28-point plan triggered emergency talks and a swift Geneva rewrite, with President Donald Trump quietly shelving his ultimatum while Kyiv grappled with a corruption scandal. In West Africa, Guinea-Bissau plunged into turmoil after a sudden military coup left President Embalo telling FRANCE 24 he had been deposed. Nigeria declared a national emergency after the worst mass school kidnappings since Chibok, as pressure mounted from Washington. Meanwhile, Rachel Reeves' tax-raising budget in the UK sparked a full-blown political pantomime, drawing furious fire from the opposition.

El Ejército de Guinea-Bissau consolidó el golpe de Estado que suspendió de facto los resultados de las elecciones del pasado 23 de noviembre en las que el presidente Umaro Sissoco Embaló y el opositor Fernando Dias se dieron por ganadores. Los militares aseguran haber sofocado un intento de desestabilización del país y la oposición acusa al presidente de estar detrás de un supuesto autogolpe para no reconocer la derrota. En El Debate analizamos el contexto y las razones de esta nueva crisis en África central.

//The Wire//1500Z November 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: DC SHOOTER IDENTIFIED AS FORMER AFGHAN SOLDIER BROUGHT TO USA AFTER THE FALL OF KABUL. HONG KONG FIRE RESULTS IN DOZENS OF FATALITIES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Africa: A military coup was reported yesterday in Guinea-Bissau, with President Umaro Sissoco Embaló being arrested at his residence in Bissau. This follows a few weeks of election issues after the President disqualified his political opponent from the election.Analyst Comment: The fall of Guinea-Bissau is the latest addition to what has been colloquially referred to as the "coup belt", a line of nations stretching east-west across Africa, which have been host to overthrowing their governments over the past five years.Hong Kong: Yesterday a multiple-alarm fire broke out at a series of high-rise apartment buildings that were undergoing renovation in Tai Po. Around one thousand firefighters, medical, and police officers worked to extinguished the fires, which involved 7 of the 8 skyscrapers that comprise the Wang Fuk Court housing project. Concerning casualties, 65x fatalities are confirmed so far, however potentially hundreds of people remain missing as this complex provided housing for roughly 4,000 people. A few hours after the fire broke out, three people who worked for the construction company conducting repairs on the buildings were arrested on suspicion of arson.Analyst Comment: Although several people were arrested, it's not clear as to if this was a deliberate attack or a preventable accident. Right now, locals suspect criminal negligence: the contractor is said to have cut corners during the renovation project, by using highly flammable netting and foam insulation during construction. If this is really what happened, this would explain the rapid spread of the fire to seven different structures. An investigation will be needed to confirm the origin and explain the rapid spread of the fire, but right now this incident bears striking resemblance to the Grenfell Tower fire, which rapidly consumed the London apartment building in a similar manner back in 2017. That incident occurred in nearly the same manner, with highly flammable foam insulation being used to insulate the structure, which caught fire and allowed the flames to spread rapidly.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - The suspect in yesterday's shooting has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a former Afghan soldier who worked with the United States as part of the Afghan intelligence services during the Global War on Terrorism. Ramanullah was granted entry to the United States in 2021 under Operation ALLIES WELCOME, the program to evacuate Afghans who worked with the US government during the occupation.Regarding the attack itself, more details have come to light which help explain how the attack was carried out. Rahmanullah approached the two soldiers with a revolver, shooting one in the head immediately and severely wounding the other. This took both soldiers out of the fight immediately, as neither had time to react.By happenstance, one of their officers (a Major) was walking on foot in their vicinity, conducting an informal spot check of the various security posts set up in the area. This Major was not armed with a service weapon, but was the primary responder at the time of the attack. After the two soldiers were engaged, the Major took up a position of cover and concealment near the shooter. When the shooter stopped firing and began reloading, the Major attacked the shooter with a personally owned pocket knife, stabbing the attacker in the head and torso. As this hand-to-hand engagement was occurring, another armed soldier arrived and engaged the attacker with his firearm, striking the suspect several times in the extremities. From there, a dogpile situation occurred and the attacker was detained.Analyst Co

This morning's episode was classic TDA energy - pure jokes, sharp debates, wild theories, and a heavy news breakdown all rolled into one. We kicked off with updates about Saturday's big photoshoot for TDA and The Rotation, the stress of shooting outdoors in the rain, and the big announcements coming for Christmas and the new year.From there, the convo spiralled beautifully into everything from apprenticeships to Brandy & Monica's tour, accusations flying in the chat, and a hilarious back-and-forth about whether Wiz Khalifa is a flat-earther. Then things got even more chaotic as the team argued about Candace Owens, conspiracies, assassination claims, the moon landing, whether the Earth is flat, and who really killed Malcolm X - one of the funniest TDA tangents this week.We then locked in properly for the news rundown: the UK budget drama, a heated clash between Rachel Reeves and Sadiq Khan, global political tensions, tech wars between Nvidia and Google, the Louvre robbery arrests, fires in Hong Kong, National Guard shootings in the US, hurricanes in Jamaica, and a coup unfolding in Guinea-Bissau. The team wrapped everything with sharp analysis, jokes, and well-needed context.
The military seizes power in Guinea-Bissau - a day before Sunday's presidential election results were due to be announced. The African Union and West African regional bloc Ecowas have condemned the coup. Why has it happened - and what are the implications?

¿Entrenar con una vida caótica? Miguel lo hace desde África El problema que todos conocemos: Tienes una carrera en mente, pero tu vida es un caos. Viajes de trabajo, niños, imprevistos... y esa planificación perfecta que encontraste en internet se queda en el cajón porque la realidad te atropella. ¿Te suena? Miguel Martín vive esto a otro nivel. Este mallorquín lleva 15 años en África, actualmente en Santo Tomé y Príncipe. Viaja constantemente entre Guinea-Bissau, Lisboa, Madrid... Tiene dos hijas, dirige proyectos de ingeniería, gestiona un hotel Y está preparando la Media Maratón de Sables de Namibia (108 km en 3 etapas, nada menos). Su vida no tiene rutina. Y aún así, entrena. La clave no es entrenar mucho, es entrenar bien. Como dice Miguel: "Antes usaba ChatGPT para mis planes de entrenamiento. Ahora tengo comunicación real, ajustes constantes y alguien que entiende que hay semanas en las que las niñas se ponen malas o estoy en un país donde correr 3 horas en cinta es infernal" La flexibilidad no es excusa, es estrategia. No hay plan perfecto, hay plan inicial que se adapta. Y aquí viene el bonus: Miguel también organiza la Maratón Internacional de Santo Tomé y Príncipe (última semana de junio). Una carrera solidaria en uno de los países menos visitados del mundo. 263 atletas el último año. Avituallamientos cada 2 km. Paisajes de película ♂️ ¿La moraleja? Si Miguel puede entrenar desde el centro del mundo (literalmente, la línea del Ecuador pasa por allí), tú también puedes encontrar tu forma de ser eficiente con TUS circunstancias. Escucha el episodio completo para descubrir cómo gestiona los entrenamientos entre continentes, su preparación para el desierto de Namibia, y por qué una carrera en África podría ser tu próxima aventura Porque no se trata de tener tiempo, se trata de ser estratega.
