Talk What You Know – Hard Talk Edition | Hosted by Rev. Dr. Donald R. Jones

Lors de l'émission Hardtalk ce mercredi 11 février sur Top FM, animée par Jimmy Jean-Louis, Manou Bheenick, ancien Gouverneur de la Banque de Maurice, ministre et président de la SBM, entre autres, a salué la performance des jeunes lors des derniers examens. Il a souligné l'importance de renforcer leur compétitivité face à la mondialisation : « Les jeunes de Maurice doivent être parmi les meilleurs de leur génération pour saisir les opportunités de demain. C'est en encourageant l'excellence et le dépassement de soi que notre pays pourra réussir. » Questionné sur l'orientation des jeunes dans leur carrière, Manou Bheenick a insisté sur l'importance de suivre ses passions et de s'adapter aux évolutions du monde professionnel. « Il ne s'agit pas de choisir une carrière classique que tout le monde peut emprunter, mais de se sentir à l'aise dans ce que l'on fait », a-t-il expliqué. Selon lui, les jeunes doivent également se préparer à la révolution numérique et à l'intelligence artificielle, qui transformeront profondément le marché du travail.

Ce mercredi 12 novembre, l'émission Hardtalk présentée par Rudy Veeramundur avait pour thématique les solutions pour remédier au dialogue rompu entre les jeunes et les entreprises. Kenny, un Mauricien installé en France depuis dix ans, raconte avec amusement que son entretien d'embauche pour devenir banquier s'est déroulé… dans une cantine. Une anecdote qui, selon lui, illustre bien la différence de culture professionnelle entre la France et Maurice. Il confie que la mentalité et les pratiques en entreprise dans son pays d'origine ne l'incitent pas à envisager un retour professionnel à Maurice.

BT and Sal delve into a wide range of topics, starting with their personal anxieties about playing golf, particularly around skilled players, leading to humorous confessions about their own subpar games and preferred "fast play" style. The discussion then shifts to sports news, with a caller expressing frustration about the lack of hockey talk, specifically the Islanders' number one pick in the NHL draft. This prompts a brief, somewhat feigned interest in the draft, followed by a caller suggesting a drinking game based on Sal's frequent mention of Juan Soto. The segment concludes with a nostalgic look at college drinking games and further golf-related anxiety, with a listener calling in to offer advice on overcoming it, which BT and Sal largely dismiss, admitting they'd rather avoid playing with "elitists" like Boomer.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 52: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: I suppose it is possible that Trump's brain has liquified, and he's cancelled half his events and all his interviews, and that he is now frantically demanding somebody FORCE Kamala Harris off the ballot and Joe Biden back ONTO it because he's just been shown internal polling indicating he's going to WIN two weeks from Tuesday. Or nah. He's just been shown internal polling indicating he's going to LOSE. Why else would he demand that she "be investigated and forced off the campaign, and Joe Biden be allowed to take back his rightful place" because 60 Minutes screwed up the editing the editing of its Harris interview?  Trump is crazy and getting crazier, but this reeks of somebody showing him internal polling indicating he's going to LOSE two weeks from Tuesday which means that he might avoid ONE of the criminal cases that would send him off to die in prison but he ain't going to avoid BOTH of them and as the expert on cults and cult leaders Matthew Remski wrote the other day, Trump has become one of those quote “cultic leaders who – exhausted, ill – and at the end of their cognitive rope” reduced to a “shrinking repertoire of melted talking points.”  Especially given that a network idiotically edits a clip with a presidential candidate means the. Presidential candidate has to drop out? So Harris has to drop out, and of course since Fox edited out the part where Trump talks about the enemy within, Trump also has to drop out so two Tuesdays from now it's the presidential election between Tim Walz and Jayvee Vance? MEANWHILE, IF SHE WINS it will have been sealed by the 24-hour span in which she looked authoritative and righteously indignant while on Fox News, followed by the moment some pro-Trump hecklers crashed her rally in Wisconsin and her response was... well, put it this way: There were no heckler survivors.  B-Block (19:04) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: BBC News cancels one of the most informative news programs in the world: "HardTalk" dead after three decades. Dead inside: Christina Bobb predicts a surge of celebrities endorsing Trump after the election because...they're all pedophiles? So she's not just One America One Reich television crazy but QAnon crazy? And Chris Licht is tanned, rested, and ready, to help rebuild the fractured media landscape he personally helped fracture. C-Block (28:21) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: He never wrote a novel, he did write a history of The New Yorker, he did write epic short stories like “The Greatest Man In The World” and at least three that became movies. But then there are his miniatures – his polished gems. His fables. There is more cynicism, more criticism, more liberalism, per square inch, in these – than in any other examples of his writing. So this week three of the Fables of James Thurber: "The Unicorn In The Garden," "The Moth And The Star," "The Rabbits Who Caused All The Trouble."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
