Cities are growing and developing at a faster rate than at any time in history. More than half the world's population now live in cities. But cities don't always offer the best opportunities for those living within them. They can be polluted, congested and often don't have enough green spaces or playgrounds.We find out about two cities trying to change that. The mayor of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia say she wants her city to be the best in Africa to raise a child and be a mother. We find out what she's trying to do.And in the Colombian capital, Bogota, we'll visit the city's ‘Care Blocks' where people are given the opportunity to learn new skills - or just relax - while their children or dependents are looked after.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Most Americans are aware of Colombia's role in the international drug trade, but we know less about the role that Americans' played in the story as consumers, smuggling pioneers, and practitioners of a foreign policy that facilitated the rise of Colombian drug production.   In this episode, journalist and historian Lina Britto shares the fascinating story of how Colombia emerged as a major supplier of drugs to American consumers and how this relationship affected people in both countries. She also explains the origins of the "War on Drugs" in the US and tells the story of how Americans hippies in search of marijuana laid the groundwork for the distribution techniques later used by Pablo Escobar's cocaine cartel.   Dr. Lina Britto is Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University where she specializes in Colombian history and the history of the international drug trade. She is the author of Marijuana Boom: The Rise and Fall of Colombia's First Drug Paradise (University of California Press, 2020)   This is a rebroadcast of RTN #318, which originally aired on November 4, 2024.

International Law: Is Chiquita responsible for aiding and abetting paramilitary violence in Colombia? - Argued: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:38:10 EDT

"A Poet" is a tragicomedy film written, co-produced, and directed by Simón Mesa Soto. An international co-production between Colombia, Germany, and Sweden, the film had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the section's Jury Prize. The film stars Ubeimar Rios as an obsessed poet who has achieved no glory, is aging, erratic, and has become the cliche of the poet in the shadows. When he meets Yurlady (Rebeca Andrade), a teenage girl, he helps cultivate her talent. It was selected as the Colombian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated. Simón Mesa Soto was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from 1-2 Special. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Inter Miami Heading To Colombia | The Herons Adding More Reinforcements #InterMiamiCF #InterMiami #Messi #AtleticoNacional 

This episode is a conversation with Juan Moreno, an electrical designer at IMEG and a past recipient of the firm's engineering scholarship program. Juan received one of the thirty $10,000 scholarships awarded when the program was launched in 2023. Born in Miami, Juan spent his childhood and teen years in Colombia. In 2021 he enrolled at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, where one of his older sisters, a UNF graduate, was living at the time. Engineering, he explains, was always a likely path as the profession runs in his family. “My dad is a civil engineer and one of my sisters is also a civil engineer. So I always knew I was going to go the engineering route,” he says. His interest in electrical engineering took root after taking an electrician course while still in Colombia. “It really got me into the electrical side of engineering,” Juan says, adding that electrical courses at UNF sealed the deal. “Every lab in college, it was super fun, because it was hands-on.” Juan learned about the IMEG Scholarship Program in 2022 from a friend who was working as an intern at IMEG's Jacksonville office. Juan soon applied, saying the process was “pretty straightforward and simple”—though he had little expectation he would be chosen as one of the recipients. The following summer, while back home with his family in Colombia, Juan and his parents learned he had won one of the scholarships. “It was quite the surprise,” he says. “We were all pretty happy.” While there are no strings or promises of employment attached to the IMEG scholarship, after Juan graduated in May of 2025 with a degree in electrical engineering he decided to apply to the firm. He was hired and now works out of IMEG's office in Broomall, PA, southwest of Philadelphia. A few months later he attended the firm's Consultancy 101 program—a week-long gathering of newly hired graduates from across the country to introduce them to the firm, its services and markets, technology and innovation initiatives, and to get to know each other and have some fun. After that it was back to the Broomall office, where he has been learning from veteran engineers while working with them on various projects, including a large hotel and casino project in New York. “Every day I get to learn a lot,” Juan says. “I try to connect it with stuff from college, but of course, college is really theoretical and just academic.” “Every day I'm learning something new,” he adds. “I think that's great.” To date, the IMEG Scholarship Program has awarded 93 scholarships worth $10,000 each to underserved college students studying engineering. Scholarship applications for the 2026-27 academic year are being accepted through March 13. To learn more and apply, visit the IMEG website Careers section.

It's Wednesday, January 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Mexican authorities expelled Protestant pastor Authorities in southern Mexico expelled a Protestant pastor from their community this month. The issue began after Pastor Velásquez Martínez refused to participate in a Roman Catholic ritual due to his religious beliefs. Local authorities detained him for five days without charge before expelling him and his family. Evangelical families can face arrest, fines, and expulsion in parts of Mexico for their faith. Mexico is ranked 30th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Catholicism declining in Latin America Analysis by Pew Research found that Catholicism has declined in Latin America over the past decade. Catholicism remains the largest religion across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. However, it has declined in the region by at least nine percent over the last 10 years. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated have grown rapidly in Latin America. Protestantism has also grown in the region but only by a slight margin. United States withdrew from World Health Organization The United States officially withdrew from the World Health Organization last Thursday. This comes a year after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to initiate the process. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated, “This decision was driven by profound failures in the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic originating in Wuhan, China.” The withdrawal ends U.S. funding for the World Health Organization. The group is also known for its support of abortion and sexually perverted lifestyles. Thousands of California pro-lifers march Tens of thousands of pro-lifers joined the 22nd Annual Walk for Life West Coast in California on Saturday.  Participants filled the streets of San Francisco in the financial district for more than a mile. Rally co-chair Eva Muntean said, “After 22 years I still find it hard to believe how blessed we are. When I see the enormous crowd that we had today—especially so many young people standing up with love and hope for women and children. I am filled with gratitude and hope. You can't come to the Walk without seeing the promise of a better world!” Psalm 27:13-14 says, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” Washington man stabbed for being a Christian Sadly, a man suffered an attack over his religion on Sunday morning in Washington state. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office reports they found the man in serious condition. The victim said a stranger approached him and asked what religion he was. He said something about being a Christian. In response, the stranger attacked and stabbed the victim and his dog. The perpetrator died after a confrontation with police.  The Christian Post reports that the victim has been released from a local hospital.  U.S. population down as Trump expels illegals The U.S. population growth rate is slowing as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration.  New data from the U.S. Census Bureau found the population reached nearly 342 million people last year. The 2025 growth rate was half a percent, down from almost one percent in 2024. Christine Hartley with the Census Bureau said, “With births and deaths remaining relatively stable compared to the prior year, the sharp decline in net international migration is the main reason for the slower growth rate we see today.” Geopolitical and economic uncertainly drives gold up. As The Worldview reported yesterday, the price for spot gold reached $5,100 an ounce, a record. That's up 18% so far this year. Ryan McIntyre, president at Sprott Inc., told Reuters, “Gold prices continue to be supported by elevated geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Central banks remain strong buyers as they diversify foreign exchange reserves and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.” 100-year-old great grandfather speaks at kindergarten class And finally, CBS News reports that a kindergartener in Georgia recently brought her 100-year-old great-grandfather to class. This was to celebrate K.J. Schmansky's 100th day of school this year at Saint Thomas More School in Decatur. Her great-grandfather, Sonny Ragan, was born on October 8, 1925. He got to share 100 years of wisdom with the young class. When asked what keeps him going, Ragan said it's faith and family. 1 Peter 3:10-11 says, “He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, January 28th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Following the Trump administration's January 3, 2026 military operation in Venezuela and its lethal strikes on boats suspected of carrying drugs, its threats of unilateral U.S. military action inside Mexico and Colombia have taken on new urgency. WOLA's Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli and Stephanie Brewer join Adam Isacson to examine what such actions would mean for two of Washington's most important partners in the hemisphere. The conversation opens with a sobering parallel: days before recording, Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti on a Minneapolis street in what appears to be another grossly unjustified use of lethal force. Both guests draw on their countries' painful experiences with security force violence to illuminate patterns now emerging in the United States: the demonization and victim-blaming, the battle over evidence and documentation, and the long struggle for accountability. The episode then turns to the mounting threats of U.S. military intervention. Trump has floated drone strikes and Special Forces operations in Mexico since his first term; now, after Venezuela, he has spoken of "hitting cartels on land." President Claudia Sheinbaum has drawn an absolute red line on sovereignty while simultaneously making unprecedented concessions. The fear, Brewer notes, is that the threat of unilateral action could coerce Mexico into accepting operations before or after the fact. In Colombia, the relationship has deteriorated dramatically. Once the strongest bipartisan partnership in the region, it has been battered by aid cuts that gutted programs built on decades of hard-won lessons and by counter-drug sanctiones aimed at President Gustavo Petro. A February 3, 2026 White House meeting between Trump and Petro now carries enormous stakes. Both governments need each other—on counter-drug cooperation, on managing Venezuelan migration, on regional stability—but both leaders are volatile and prone to escalation. The guests close with a clear-eyed assessment: militarized tactics against drug trafficking have failed for 40 years. Killing kingpins, striking labs, and adding groups to terrorist lists have never ended the drug trade. What actually works is building capable civilian justice institutions, reducing impunity, addressing corruption, and investing in the social and economic conditions that make organized crime attractive in the first place. A unilateral U.S. strike wouldn't end drug trafficking—but it could destroy the cooperation that any realistic strategy requires.

Las enormes cantidades de basura que flotan en el mar o en los ríos están amenazando estas zonas inundables, puesto que los residuos se quedan atascados en las raíces de los mangles y con el paso del tiempo se van fragmentando hasta quedar enterrado en el fago del fondo.

Trump, una vez más, amenaza a Irán, utilizando Truth Social para exigir a Teherán que alcance un acuerdo sobre su programa nuclear. El presidente ha recordado que en la zona tiene ya desplegados a varios buques militares, entre ellos un portaaviones, que están listos para atacar con contundencia si fuera necesario.Trump, quizás deseoso de desviar la atención de lo que está ocurriendo con ICE en Minessota, vuelve a recurrir al tema iraní con el ánimo, suponemos, de recuperar un poco la iniciativa perdida estos días.Estaremos nuevamente en Minneapolis, allí nuestra enviada especial María Carou ha hablado con un líder de la comunidad somalí, muy perseguida por la administración Trump y acusada de ser clave en un gran caso de fraude.Tras el acuerdo UE-India, favorecido en parte por la agresividad de Trump hacia Europa, hoy ha llegado a Pekín el premier británico, Keir Starmer, acompañado además por decenas de empresarios de primer nivel.La entrevista de hoy será sobre medioambiente. Hablaremos del grave deterioro de los manglares de Colombia, que acumulan todo tipo de restos de basura que están destruyendo un ecosistema muy frágil del que viven muchas comunidades en la costa caribeña del país sudamericano.Macron ha recibido en París a los primeros ministros de Dinamarca y Groenlandia, que buscan el máximo apoyo de los pesos pesados europeos. Hablaremos de las consecuencias del mal tiempo que está marcando este mes de enero. Si nos da tiempo, hablaremos de la exprimera dama de Corea del Sur, condenada a casi dos años de cárcel por corrupción.Escuchar audio

This is Part 3 of a five-part series with Sean Warner from the Honduran Coffee Alliance, exploring how coffee pricing is set today and how it may change in the future.In this episode, Lee Safar and Sean Warner focus on the often-overlooked role of risk and liquidity in coffee pricing. While price receives most of the attention, this conversation highlights how payment timing and financing structures affect producers, roasters, and exporters.They discuss the pressure that high prices place on cash flow, the role of multinationals in financing, and why payment terms can determine whether businesses remain viable during periods of volatility.Advertising sponsorThis episode is brought to you by Arcadia Green Coffee, Colombian coffee exporters taking fresh green coffee from Colombia to the world — farm to roastery, direct.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arcadiagreencoffee/WhatsApp: https://wa.me/353877871523Guest LinksSean Warner - Honduran Coffee Alliancehttps://www.hondurancoffeealliance.ca/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-warner-3aba28108/https://www.instagram.com/hondurancoffeealliance/WhatsApp: https://wa.me/50487350786***************************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

While price receives most of the attention, this conversation highlights how payment timing and financing structures affect producers, roasters, and exporters.They discuss the pressure that high prices place on cash flow, the role of multinationals in financing, and why payment terms can determine whether businesses remain viable during periods of volatility.Advertising sponsorThis episode is brought to you by Arcadia Green Coffee, Colombian coffee exporters taking fresh green coffee from Colombia to the world — farm to roastery, direct.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arcadiagreencoffee/WhatsApp: https://wa.me/353877871523Guest LinksSean Warner - Honduran Coffee Alliancehttps://www.hondurancoffeealliance.ca/https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-warner-3aba28108/https://www.instagram.com/hondurancoffeealliance/WhatsApp: https://wa.me/50487350786***************************************************About Map It Forward The Daily Coffee Pro is produced by Map It Forward, supporting coffee professionals globally across the supply chain.Website: https://mapitforward.coffeeMailing list: https://mapitforward.coffee/mailinglistPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mapitforwardInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mapitforward.coffee/Contact: support@mapitforward.org

La ContraCrónica acaba de cumplir diez años. El primero de sus programas subió a la red el 26 de enero de 2016 tras pasar unos días valorando si merecía la pena ponerme con ello, y después de realizar una modesta inversión de 98 euros, los que me costó el primer micrófono con grabación incorporada que adquirí en un comercio ya desaparecido de Madrid. Comenzó como un experimento personal que vino motivado por las noticias que no había podido tratar en una revista de prensa que hacía diariamente a primera hora de la mañana en el programa de José Antonio Abellán en Radio 4G. Pero ese experimento pronto adquirió vida propia. Desde sus inicios el programa encontró su hogar en iVoox, una plataforma entonces emergente que permitía una distribución directa y sin filtros. Aunque al principio no tenía muy claro que ese experimento fuese a durar demasiado porque no sabía si habría suficiente audiencia al otro lado, pronto descubrí que sí, que la fórmula podía llegar a funcionar a poco que diese con el formato adecuado. Pronto decidí trascender las las fronteras de la política española para centrarme en temas internacionales y económicos. Esta decisión editorial no solo fue un acierto estratégico, sino que permitió la creación de una audiencia muy amplia en todo el mundo. La Contra es hoy una comunidad que aglutina a contraescuchas de varios países, de España a Argentina pasando por México, Colombia, Perú o Venezuela. A lo largo de estos diez años el universo de La Contra ha crecido en cantidad y calidad. La buena acogida de La ContraCrónica dio pie al nacimiento de La ContraHistoria, un espacio de divulgación histórica que ha acumulado ya más de 50 millones de descargas, así como programas dedicados a la literatura y el cine los sábados. Con la llegada de la nueva década y el auge del vídeo, el formato se adaptó a las nuevas plataformas como YouTube y Twitch, convirtiendo a La Contra en un programa de radio televisado, pero manteniendo siempre la esencia de la voz y el análisis pausado que solo puede ofrecer la radio. Nunca he llegado a saber la razón por la que este programa ha funcionado tan bien. Quizá es el trabajo y la dedicación que le pongo cada día, quizá la independencia de la que me precio. El hecho es que no hay ni empresas, ni partidos políticos detrás. La ContraCrónica es posible gracias al apoyo de una parte selecta de su audiencia que la apoya directamente mediante micromecenazgo. Esto me ha permitido ser independiente y cuidar así de mi credibilidad, que es sin duda el activo más valioso de cualquier periodista. En La Contra siempre he huido del activismo, de la militancia y del ruido, algo tan común en nuestro tiempo. Eso no significa que no aliente el debate de ideas o que no abogue ciertas causas políticas que merecen la pena como la democracia liberal, los mercados libres, las sociedades abiertas y la defensa del Estado de derecho. Pero lo principal nunca ha sido eso, sino los hechos: conocerlos, entenderlos y analizarlos. Eso es lo que hago desde el primero de los programas y sigo haciendo diez años después. Hoy La ContraCrónica tiene unos 3.000 programas a sus espaldas, La ContraHistoria más de 400 a los que habría que sumar unos cuantos miles más de los distintos formatos, siempre con el Contra por delante, que a lo largo de este tiempo he ido creando. Todo ha sido posible gracias a la tecnología, a mi propia perseverancia y a una comunidad que se ha ido formando y de la que me siento especialmente orgulloso. La Contra es mi voz, pero también la de muchos contraescuchas que todos los días pasan por aquí.

The Heretic of Cacheu: Crispina Peres and the Struggle over Life in Seventeenth-Century West Africa (U Chicago Press, 2025) by Professor Toby Green tells the extraordinary story of seventeenth-century West African slave trader Crispina Peres to explore the shifting, sophisticated world in which she lived. In 1665, Crispina Peres, the most powerful trader in the West African slave-trafficking port of Cacheu, was arrested by the Portuguese Inquisition. Her enemies had conspired to denounce her for taking treatments prescribed by Senegambian healers, the djabakós. But who was Peres? And why was the Inquisition so concerned with policing the faith of a West African woman in today's Guinea-Bissau? In The Heretic of Cacheu, award-winning historian Dr. Green takes us to the heart of this conundrum, immersing us in the atmosphere of an otherwise distant setting. We learn how people in seventeenth-century Cacheu built their houses; styled their clothes; healed themselves from illness; and worshipped, worked, and played. Green renders the haunting realities of the growing slave trade and the rise of European empires in shocking detail. By the 1650s, the relationships between Europe, West Africa, and the Americas were already old and tangled, with slaving ports, colonies, and military bases having intermingled over many generations. But Cacheu also profoundly troubled this dynamic. It was globally connected to places ranging from China and India to Brazil and Colombia, and women such as Crispina Peres ran the town and challenged the patriarchy of empire. For the first time, through surviving documents recording Peres's case, The Heretic of Cacheu lets readers experience the reality of this unique place and time through a remarkable act of historical recovery. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Oliver Villar, a political scientist at Charles Sturt University in Australia, discusses his research on US imperial power and Latin American politics, covering his co-authored book, Cocaine, Death Squads and the War on Terror: US Imperialism and Class Struggle in Colombia (Monthly Review, 2011). Villar historicises the role that the US-led counternarcotic policies, specifically Plan Colombia, have played in serving as a pretext for advancing imperialist interests and undermining popular, leftist movements in the country and how the official “wars” on drugs and terror in Colombia are a pretext for the US to maintain an imperialist relationship while ensuring its business interests, as well as the local “narco-bourgeoisie,” can monopolise the cocaine trade. Exploring how US strategy intensified violence by supporting state-linked paramilitary forces, ultimately suppressing domestic labour and peasant struggles, Villar observes that it was during the Clinton administration “where everything starts to unravel” and when the US began to propagandise and brand the revolutionary armed forces of Colombia, leftist guerrillas, as the new “narco-terrorists.” He assesses how the US narrative surrounding Maduro flows in the same direction as propaganda from this earlier era, whereby anyone who “gets in America's way is now fair game for the narco-terrorist label”, underscoring, “It has nothing to do with drugs.” Oliver relates what is happening in Latin America in conjunction with China's rapid trajectory as a superpower and its clash with the United States over the control of resources (e.g., minerals and metals in Latin America) and its augmenting global influence. He dissects how the cocaine drug trade and the US-China rivalry in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the globe form part of a larger picture of US global hegemony while offering a critical history of US imperialism, its hegemonic decline, and the so-called “rising threat” of China to explain recent events. Responding to events in Venezuela, Greenland, and the “great power competition” that is unfolding between the US, China, and Russia, Villar elaborates on research from his most recent book, The Political Economy of Dissent (Routledge, 2026), in critically analysing 21st-century imperialism—that is, capitalism in its most aggressive and developed form, which is the driving force behind an intensifying rivalry between the US and China.
