Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 14 novembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Richard Werly, correspondant à Paris du quotidien helvétique en ligne Blick.CONSOMMATEUR OU CITOYEN : LES CONTRADICTIONS FRANÇAISESDominant dans le commerce en ligne, Shein, le géant chinois de la mode jetable, s'est installé le 5 novembre pour la première fois en boutique, au BHV parisien puis progressivement dans des Galeries Lafayette franchisées à Dijon, Reims, Grenoble, Angers et Limoges. Une arrivée qui provoque un tollé dans le secteur. Spécialiste de la mode éphémère – une production caractérisée par le renouvellement ultra-rapide des collections à des prix cassés dépourvus de normes sociales et environnementales –, le géant chinois a été condamnée à 40 millions d'euros d'amendes par la Direction générale de la répression des fraudes pour « pratiques commerciales trompeuses », puis à 150 millions d'euros par la Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés pour « non-respect du consentement des internautes » dans la collecte de leurs données. Adoptée par l'Assemblée nationale puis amendée par le Sénat en juin 2025, la proposition de loi visant à « démoder la mode éphémère grâce à un système de bonus-malus » revient au cœur des débats.Le chiffre d'affaires de Shein en France (son deuxième marché dans le monde après les États-Unis) était de plus de 1,5 milliard d'euros en 2024. Cette année-là, l'Institut français de la mode a estimé que 35 % des Français ont acheté au moins un produit sur la plateforme Shein, qui compte plus de 12 millions d'utilisateurs par mois. Ces derniers savent pertinemment ce qui est reproché à l'entreprise, ses pratiques contestées et l'impact que son essor à sur le prêt-à-porter français. N'importe. Le caractère compulsif de l'achat est plus fort. Dans un pays pourtant obsédé par la reconquête de sa « souveraineté », qui tient la mondialisation en horreur, le consommateur agit souvent à rebours des convictions du citoyen.Ainsi, si selon un sondage Ipsos BVA, les Français placent sans surprise le prix en tête des critères guidant leurs achats (62 %), devant la qualité (58 %) et la durabilité (32 %) des vêtements, toutefois, 49 % des sondés expriment une « mauvaise opinion » à l'égard de la qualité des produits. Et 52 % désapprouvent l'installation d'une boutique Shein au BHV. Une nette majorité approuverait des mesures « pour freiner le développement des géants chinois de l'habillement en France et en Europe ». En Dr Jekyll et Mr Hyde, nous exigeons du gouvernement ou de l'Union européenne qu'ils régulent les opérateurs dont les pratiques mettent à mal notre économie, nos emplois et la planète, quand nous achetons leurs produits et leurs services. Et ce n'est pas vrai que dans le secteur de la mode ou du textile… Philippe Moati, cofondateur de l'Observatoire société et consommation prévient : « En cas de désaccord entre le citoyen et le consommateur, c'est le consommateur qui gagne quand l'offre est très attractive.COP 30L'objectif de limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5°C par rapport à l'ère préindustrielle, figurant dans l'Accord de Paris il y a 10 ans, est « sur le point de s'effondrer », a averti fin septembre le secrétaire général de l'ONU Antonio Guterres. Du 10 au 21 novembre, la COP 30 est réunie à Belém, au Brésil aux portes de l'Amazonie. Le président brésilien Lula entend faire des forêts l'un de ses sujets principaux de cette conférence. Il souhaite y formaliser un fonds d'un nouveau genre, une « Facilité de financement des forêts tropicales » visant 125 milliards de dollars de collecte, placés sur les marchés financiers. Les bénéfices rémunéreront des pays à forte couverture forestière et à faible déforestation pour leurs efforts de conservation. Cinq autres États disposant de forêts tropicales ont rejoint le projet (Colombie, Ghana, République démocratique du Congo, Indonésie et Malaisie). Par ailleurs, cinq pays développés qui pourraient investir à l'avenir travaillent à organiser l'initiative (Allemagne, Émirats arabes unis, France, Norvège et Royaume-Uni).Depuis 2015, chaque pays doit soumettre tous les cinq ans une feuille de route climatique détaillant sa stratégie de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, afin de mesurer leurs efforts pour atteindre les objectifs de l'Accord de Paris. Mais alors que ces « contributions déterminées au niveau national » devaient être rendues avant la fin du mois de septembre, dans un contexte géopolitique tourmenté, où les guerres, les conflits commerciaux et la pression du président américain climatosceptique qui s'est retiré de l'Accord de Paris ont relégué le climat au second plan. Ainsi, la majorité des pays n'avaient pas rendu leur copie à la veille de la conférence, tandis que les États-Unis n'enverront pas de représentants de haut niveau à Belém.En 2019, la Commission européenne lançait le pacte vert pour l'Europe, avec un objectif ambitieux : faire de l'Europe le premier continent climatiquement neutre d'ici à 2050. Mais sous la pression de lobbies agricoles et depuis le virage à droite et à l'extrême droite du Parlement après les élections de 2024, la copie initiale est peu à peu revue à la baisse : abandon de la loi sur les pesticides, assouplissement de la politique agricole commune, remise en question de l'interdiction des voitures thermiques d'ici à 2035, de la finance durable et de la responsabilité des entreprises… En France, après avoir clamé « Make our planet great again (« Rendez sa grandeur à la planète »), Emmanuel Macron se montre moins écologiste au fil de ses deux mandats. Son gouvernement n'a pas tenu sa promesse de sortie du glyphosate en trois ans, a édulcoré la loi zéro artificialisation nette et délivre encore des permis d'hydrocarbures. Il entend compenser son peu d'allant dans le développement des énergies renouvelables par la relance du nucléaire. Cependant, selon un sondage Ipsos, 89% des Français disent leur inquiétude face à l'aggravation de la crise climatique.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Progressive Christian Podcast on Faith, Justice & Reconciliation — Weekly Scripture: Micah 6:8 — “Do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.” Join Rev. Brittany and special guest Leo Djamson for an inspiring and deeply honest conversation about faith, racial justice, and cultural understanding through the lens of First United Methodist Church of San Diego’s Sankofa Pilgrimage to Ghana – exploring the lasting effects of the transatlantic slave trade and how it’s shaped the beautifully diverse and resilient people of Ghana. It’s an impactful journey of discovery for all involved regardless of heritage, upbringing, personal experiences, and political beliefs. This pilgrimage is one of the ways that the church lives out Micah’s call to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It’s all about embracing racial justice and loving kindly as we uncover and unpack some of the history of our ancestors that influence our implicit biases and contribute to today’s continuing racial tensions. Leo is a member of church who grew up in Ghana. Listen in as he shares about his childhood, how Ghana shaped his life, and the cultural similarities and differences than the US. They also discuss the misconceptions the US has about west Africa and how Ghana honors its history and participation in the transatlantic slave trade. This conversation models an effective, healthy way to connect with others at a deeper, more meaningful level to expand our awareness and appreciation of other cultures – finding shared experiences as well as the mosaic of beautiful differences that shape the way we interact with and understand the world and our communities. We invite you to continue this conversation model! Join our in-person Convergence group or our online community at patreon.com/fumcsd. Our groups are open to all — wherever you are on your spiritual journey. As a progressive church, we provide a safe space to dig deeper into your faith and beliefs. About the Sankofa Pilgrimage: The Sankofa Pilgrimage is more than a trip. It is a sacred journey of study, travel, and reflection, rooted in the West African Adinkra symbol Sankofa, which means “It is not foolish to go back and get that which you have forgotten.” Together, pilgrims remember the humanity of all people, confront painful truths about the church’s complicity in racism, and explore how God is calling us to be builders of justice and reconciliation today. The Sankofa Pilgrimage welcomes people of all faith backgrounds. Teens 14+ may attend with a trusted adult. Classroom learning is free and open to everyone, even for those not traveling.
From broke to building empires: Why school knowledge isn't enough - and the daily habits that separate millionaires from dreamers. In this transformative episode of Konnected Minds, a seasoned entrepreneur reveals the brutal truth about success in Ghana: the certificate ends where real education begins. Starting with just 49 cedis after resignation and employees waiting to be paid, this business mogul shares how they built multiple shops, a three-storey warehouse, and apartment units - all without a single bank loan. The conversation exposes why 80% of registered businesses in Africa are just paperwork collecting dust, while those who understand organic growth are quietly building empires. From taking children to school every morning to connect with them, to watching Frederick Casey Price videos when feeling low, this episode reveals the daily habits that compound into extraordinary success. Critical insights revealed: • Why connecting with dead mentors through their content can be more valuable than physical networking • The organic growth strategy: 10 cedis to 100 to 1,000 to 10,000 to 100,000 monthly profit • How to build from one shop to six without touching bank loans • Why knowledge is the highest-demand product nobody's selling properly • The digital opportunity: How a circle accessories seller saves 300 cedis daily through TikTok • Why waiting for employment after university means you didn't live in your time • The 1% rule: Getting just 1% of Ghana's 35 million population as customers From selling fast food on TikTok to teaching expertise online, the episode demolishes every excuse about limited resources. The guest challenges young Ghanaians to stop waiting for government jobs paying $20,000 when they can monetize their knowledge today. They reveal how someone made 3,000 cedis from 190 TikTok followers - proving that attention, not capital, is the new currency. The conversation reaches its peak with a provocative truth: poverty is harder than entrepreneurship. While everyone complains about difficulty, they forget that staying broke is the toughest job of all. This isn't another motivational sermon - it's a tactical breakdown of how to identify opportunities everywhere, from KVIP toilets generating millions to WhatsApp groups becoming revenue streams.

FC Groningen-middenvelder Jorg Schreuders en Como-aanvaller Jayden Addai schuiven aan in Het Sportpaleis. We spraken hen in Zeist, waar Jong Oranje zich voorbereidt op de interlands tegen Israël en Slovenië. Jorg Schreuders is pas 21 jaar, speelt bij FC Groningen én is geboren Singapore. Ja, echt! We praten over zijn rol bij Jong Oranje, zijn ontwikkeling in Groningen, zijn favoriete positie op het veld en of hij eigenlijk weleens naar podcasts luistert. Jayden Addai kennen we natuurlijk nog van The Como Tapes toen hij Ajax pijn deed in de voorbereiding. We hebben het over zijn ontwikkeling in Italië, werken met Cesc Fàbregas, zijn rol bij Jong Oranje én of Ghana ook nog een optie voor hem is. Dit keer gelukkig zonder een wild gebarende perschef achter ons.

From the 1720s to the 1940s, parents in the kingdom and later colony of Dahomey (now the Republic of Benin) developed and sustained the common practice of girl fostering, or "entrusting." Transferring their daughters at a young age into foster homes, Dahomeans created complex relationships of mutual obligation, kinship, and caregiving that also exploited girls' labor for the economic benefit of the women who acted as their social mothers. Drawing upon oral tradition, historic images, and collective memories, Jessica Reuther pieces together the fragmentary glimpses of girls' lives contained in colonial archives within the framework of traditional understandings about entrustment. Placing these girls and their social mothers at the center of history brings to light their core contributions to local and global political economies, even as the Dahomean monarchy, global trade, and colonial courts reshaped girlhood norms and fostering practices. In The Bonds of Kinship in Dahomey: Portraits of West African Girlhood, 1720–1940 (Indiana UP, 2025) Reuther reveals that the social, economic, and political changes wrought by the expansion of Dahomey in the eighteenth century, the shift to "legitimate" trade in agricultural products in the nineteenth century, and the imposition of French colonialism in the twentieth all fundamentally altered—and were altered by—the intimate practice of entrusting female children between households. Dahomeans also valorized this process as a crucial component of being "well-raised"—a sentiment that continues into the present, despite widespread Beninese opposition to modern-day forms of child labor. Dr. Jessica Reuther is an associate professor of African and world history at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, USA. She came to Ball State after earning her PhD in African History from Emory University in Atlanta, GA, in 2016. Dr. Reuther is a historian of Africa, specializing in Atlantic West Africa and French West Africa from the 16th century to the present. She has conducted archival and oral history research in Benin, Senegal, France, Switzerland, and the United States. You can learn more about her work here.

En "El país de los blancos" viajamos a Ghana de la mano de Ousman Umar, presidente de la ONG Nasco Feeding Minds. Él nos presenta a Susana Martínez, que guarda una historia muy especial: la de su padre, Teodoro Martínez Montero, quien en los años setenta viajó hasta allí para construir viviendas y dejó parte de su vida en ese país africano.Décadas después, Susana Martínez mantiene vivo ese vínculo. Cumpliendo el sueño de su padre, donó un terreno en Accra que se ha convertido en la sede de Nasco. En ese espacio, la ONG forma a jóvenes para que puedan encontrar trabajo en su propio país, sin necesidad de emigrar.“Construir no es solo levantar edificios, sino tender puentes entre personas”, nos recuerda Susana. Una historia de raíces, sueños cumplidos y futuro compartido entre España y Ghana.Escuchar audio
Och så frågar vi oss hur det står till med klimatjournalistiken och regeringskansliets villighet att underlätta journalistiska granskningar? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. BBC:s krisDet har stormat rejält kring det brittiska public servicebolaget den senaste veckan. Allt började med att tidningen The Telegraph kom över en intern BBC-rapport som anklagade bolaget för obalanserad rapportering på en rad områden, som transfrågan, Gazakriget och inte minst det amerikanska presidentvalet. Det som fått mest uppmärksamhet är en fulklippning av Donald Trumps tal från den 6 januari 2021 i tv-programmet Panorama.Efter att först ha försökt lägga locket på har både nyhetschefen och den allra högsta chefen nu avgått, samtidigt som den amerikanske presidenten stämt BBC. Och det här har lett till en högljudd debatt i Storbritannien, håller BBC på att ruttna inifrån på grund av sin vänstervridning eller är allt en orkestrerad kampanj från högern som inte vill annat än att förinta det anrika bolaget? Och finns det månne några lärdomar att dra för svensk public service?Joanna Korbutiak ringde upp reportern bakom scoopet, The Telegraphs biträdande redaktör Gordon Rayner. Hon pratar även med den före detta BBC-programledaren Roger Bolton och den svenske mediaanalytikern Olle Lidbom.Regeringskansliets ovilja att lämna ut offentliga handlingarRegeringen sätter krokben för Dagens Nyheters granskningar. Det menade DN:s chefredaktör Peter Wolodarski i en krönika i söndags. När tidningen granskade den före detta säkerhetsrådgivaren Henrik Landerholm, kunde det ta flera veckor att få ut dokument. Men när dom via pseudonymen Simon försökte få ut liknande dokument, och inte berättade att dom var journalister, så gick det på ett par dagar. Och det visar sig att fler än bara DN har upplevt en frustration över regeringskansliets senfärdighet.Tonchi Percan har träffat DN:s chefredaktör Peter Wolodarski, yttrandefrihetsexperten Nils Funcke, Dagens Nyheters grävreporter Kristoffer Örstadius och Kalla Faktas Emil Hellerud.Klimatjournalistik i kris eller nödvändig förändring?I veckan inleddes klimatkonferensen COP30 i Belém i Brasilien. Till skillnad från hur det var för tio år sedan, när Parisavtalet undertecknades och alla världsledare trängdes på mötet tycks intresset nu betydligt svalare.Freddi Ramel har pratat med Karin Ekman, ansvarig utgivare på SVT:s riksnyheter, men också Erika Bjerström, Alexandra Urisman Otto och Marie-Louise Kristola - tre av de reportrar som varit mest profilerade i klimatfrågan de senaste åren, men som allihop antingen har lämnat sina jobb eller fått förändrade arbetsuppgifter. KlimatenkätUnder arbetet med reportaget skickade Medierna ut en enkät med följande frågor till Aftonbladet, Expressen, SvD och DN:1. Har ni en/flera specialiserade klimatreportrar? Varför/varför inte?2. Har ni en klimatredaktion eller ska klimatrapporteringen ”genomsyra nyhetsverksamheten”? Varför/varför inte?3. Anser ni att klimatkrisen får tillräckligt stor plats i er rapportering i förhållande till hur allvarligt läget är? Varför/varför inte?Karin Olsson, biträdande chefredaktör på Expressen1. Nej, det har vi inte. Däremot har vår vetenskapskommentator/reporter ett uppdrag att bevaka utvecklingen på området.2. Varken eller. Vi bevakar klimatkrisen när det är nyhetsmässigt relevant.3. Egentligen inte. Vi bevakar förstås t ex extremväder och miljöskandaler, men att rapportera om långsamma och komplexa förändringar är journalistikens kanske svåraste utmaning. Jag tror att skattefinansierade public service behöver dra ett större lass här än vad kommersiella räckviddsmedier som Expressen förmår göra.Karin Schmidt, redaktionschef Aftonbladet1. Vi har flera reportrar som har en djupare kunskap i klimatfrågor och som till största del skriver om klimatet.2. Vi har ingen specialiserad redaktion, förutom samhälls- och grävredaktionen. Vi vill att det mesta ska genomsyra nyhetsverksamheten och har som plan att utbilda alla journalister i klimatjournalistik.3. Jag skulle höja märkbart på ögonbrynet om någon svarar ja på den frågan. Det är med råge vår tids allvarligaste fråga och det speglas inte fullt ut i något medium. Med det sagt är jag väldigt stolt över det Aftonbladet gjort och gör. Vi publicerar en typ av klimatgranskningar som få andra gör, exempelvis vårt avslöjande om hur regeringen klimatkompenserar genom mopeder i Ghana. Vi blev flerfaldigt prisade för vår H&M-granskning och har blivit nominerade för flera andra granskningar, exempelvis om barnarbete av elbilsmetaller på Madagaskar. Vi rapporterar om klimatet på olika sätt i stort sett varje dag, till exempel löpande nyhetsbevakning från COP30 i Brasilien.Erik Hedtjärn, redaktionschef SvD1. Med klimatet ser vi att det skär in i ett stort antal bevakningsområden. Det kan handla om den gröna omställningen och industrisatsningarna – där har bland annat våra reportrar på Näringsliv gjort ett stort jobb. Förre valrörelsen var bränslepriserna en jättefråga – då bevakade våra politikreportrar detta. På det sättet behöver journalister med flera olika specialkunskaper skriva om klimatet.Med det sagt kan klimatomställning och klimatforskning vara väldigt komplicerat. På SvD:s redaktion är det några som har en särskild klimatkompetens. Tydligast är den är hos våra två reportrar Therese Bergstedt och Mikael Törnwall som också skriver vårt nyhetsbrev Klimatkollen.2. Jag tänker att svaret på den tidigare frågan fångar det du undrar över här.3. Det beror nog på hur man definierar ”ta plats i rapportering”. Vi ska göra journalistik som på ett relevant sätt fångar det viktiga som händer i världen. Klimatförändringarna griper in i så många olika delar. När Kina sa att de inte vill exportera sällsynta jordartsmetaller var det något som hängde ihop med en elektrifiering av fordonsindustrin. Där blir upptrappningen i Trumps handelskrig till en konkret klimatfråga. AI-utvecklingen är ett annat exempel: den leder till ökad energianvändning, vilket kopplar till klimatet. Man kan på samma sätt säga att det finns en klimatdimension i nyheten om den sannolikt mer energieffektiva kinesiska AI:n DeepSeek. Eller frågan om uranbrytning i Sverige, där rikspolitiken och det lokala på ett väldigt konkret sätt hänger ihop med klimatet.Den här utvecklingen tycker jag att vi fångar på ett spännande sätt i vår journalistik. Sedan är det också viktigt att bevaka forskningen om klimatet och arbetet med att få fram ett nytt klimatavtal.Dagens Nyheter har inte återkommit med svar på enkäten.

From IOUs to investment rounds: The brutal truth about raising funds in Africa - and why giving away 50% equity almost destroyed everything. In this raw and unfiltered episode of Konnected Minds, Francis pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of building a business from absolute zero in Ghana. Starting with nothing but determination, he reveals how he wrote IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, got evicted by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and transformed a single themed donut order for Uber into their first investment round. The conversation exposes a fundamental truth most African entrepreneurs miss: investors aren't charity organizations looking to help you - they're multipliers seeking documented proof that their money will grow. Francis shares how most founders fail at fundraising because everything lives in their heads with zero documentation - no sales ledgers, no expense tracking, no evidence that invested capital will multiply. He opens up about the devastating cost of desperation, revealing how he gave away over 50% equity to his first investor, losing majority ownership while fighting to remain CEO of the company he built. "People change when money comes," he reflects, comparing it to getting married only to have your spouse forget you exist once they make money. Critical lessons revealed: • Why the fastest response time (minutes, not days) won them the Uber deal that changed everything • The IOU system that kept co-founders loyal when there was literally no money • How to think like an investor seeking multiplication, not a founder seeking help • Why "the economy is bad" is a lie - money just changed hands, it didn't disappear • The exact documentation framework that attracts investment vs endlessly chasing it • The painful reality of equity vs debt - and why he'd choose debt if starting over • Why working backwards from desired profit beats hoping for organic growth • The mentor advantage he didn't have - and why it cost him years of unnecessary grinding From selling phones at UTC Accra in secondary school to building multiple ventures, Francis demonstrates that raising funds isn't about crafting sob stories - it's about presenting data that shows clear paths to multiplication. He challenges the notion that there's no money in Ghana, revealing instead that there's "loose money" everywhere, desperately seeking documented opportunities to grow. The episode takes an unexpected turn as Francis discusses building business with his wife, emphasizing that communication and understanding trump everything else in partnership. He shares the painful decision to close a flashy shop after 11 months when data showed delivery donuts outsold everything else - proving that listening to market data beats emotional attachment to ideas. This isn't another generic fundraising tutorial - it's the unvarnished truth about what it takes to attract investment in African markets, including the mistakes that cost founders their companies, the systems that separate fundable businesses from eternal ideas, and why most Ghanaian businesses fail because they never listen to what the market is actually telling them.

Companiile rusești Lukoil și Rosneft ar trebui să își vândă activele pe care le au în diverse țări. Este condiția impusă la sfârșitul lunii octombrie a.c. de SUA, intenția sancțiunii fiind ca firmele din domeniul energetic, cele mai mari din Rusia, să nu mai poată finanța efortul de război. Timpul este scurt. Într-o săptămână ar trebui găsite soluțiile, dacă termenul sancțiunii nu va fi prelungit. Unii experți interpretează ofertele de vânzare ca niște chilipiruri, dar în cazul Lukoil, companie care este prezentă și în România și deci mai interesantă și pentru piața locală, situația este complicată. Cu această ocazie, putem vedea cât de extinsă este activitatea Lukoil în lume. Compania fondată în anul 1991, al doilea producător rusesc de petrol după Rosneft, este o companie integrată, care include întregul lanț de valoare, de la explorare și exploatare, până la rafinare și distribuție. În Africa, Lukoil este foarte prezentă în domeniul petrolului și gazelor naturale. În Camerun, compania rusească deține o treime dintr-un important perimetru de gaze din zona offshore. În Egipt, Lukoil operează două câmpuri de gaze. De asemenea, compania rusească are exploatații energetice în Nigeria și Ghana, iar din Congo obține gaz natural lichefiat. Se poate spune că Lukoil a fost bine primită în statele africane bogate în resurse energetice. De fapt, este o strategie a companiei rusești care după anul 2022 și-a extins operațiunile în Africa tocmai pentru a încerca să își diversifice zonele geografice în care este prezentă și sursele de obținere a veniturilor. Calculul a fost ca afacerile în scădere din Europa să fie compensate prin creșterea pe alte piețe. Retragerea Lukoil din Africa, dacă se va întâmpla, creează o oportunitate pentru companiile europene, în special de gaze naturale. Începând cu anul viitor, statelor europene li se interzice să încheie noi contracte de aprovizionare cu gaze din Rusia, iar contractele de lungă durată se mai pot derula până la 1 ianuarie 2028. Pentru europeni, retragerea Lukoil din Africa are o miză dublă: pe de o parte, se poate asigura o zonă de asigurare alternativă, importantă în contextul în care Uniunea Europeană vrea să reducă la minimum aprovizionarea cu materii prime energetice din Rusia. Pe de altă parte, companiile europene vor avea oportunitatea să achiziționeze participații la proiectele energetice din Africa și să exploateze unele resurse alături de parteneri locali. Că firmele europene vor folosi sau nu această șansă rămâne de văzut. Deocamdată, de activele deținute de Lukoil în Africa sunt interesați mulți investitori. Să ajungem în România. Lukoil are o rafinărie cu o cotă de piață de 20%, un număr de 320 de benzinării, care dețin o cotă de piață de 10% și o participație de 87% din perimetrul offshore Trident, restul aparținând Romgaz. Într-o analiză publicată în revista NewMoney, avocata Oana Ijdelea, specializată în domeniul energetic, arată că Lukoil România este doar o verigă într-un lanț complex, cu structuri de proprietate încrucișate, vehiculate prin firme din Elveția, Cipru și Olanda. Concluzia: este greu de spus ce ar cumpăra un eventual investitor, cu atât mai mult statul român existând riscul ca operațiunile comerciale să continue nestingherite, dar sub altă formă. Fără îndoială, miza cea mai mare a activelor Lukoil în România este participația la perimetrul Trident, un zăcământ estimat la 30 miliarde de metri cubi de gaze. Marea întrebare este la ce preț s-ar putea răscumpăra investiția de până acum a Lukoil știind că plata efectuată de Romgaz către Exxon a stârnit multe controverse. Statul român ar putea să se implice în cazul Lukoil printr-o preluare a companiei, fie prin administrare temporară, fie printr-o „naționalizare tehnică”, după cum explică Oana Ijdelea. În concluzie, sunt multe variante de luat în calcul și multe neclarități.

From writing IOUs to raising investment: The brutal truth about building a business with no money - and why giving away 50% equity almost cost everything. In this raw and revealing episode of Konnected Minds, Francis shares the untold story of building Doman from nothing - including writing IOUs to co-founders he couldn't pay, getting kicked out by a landlady for "causing too much rubbish," and how a single themed donut order for Uber led to their first investment round.

"You are the one your ancestors have been praying would come, to shift things for future generations." Have you ever wondered why certain patterns seem to repeat in your life, no matter how hard you try to change? Maybe you keep attracting the same relationships, struggling with the same fears, or feeling emotions that don't even seem like yours. In this episode of Soul Talk, I reveal the deeper truth about ancestral trauma, the invisible wounds passed down through generations, and how to finally free yourself from them. You'll learn how to recognize what you've inherited, release what no longer serves you, and create a new legacy of love and light for those who come after you. You'll discover how unprocessed emotions, beliefs, and pain can live in your DNA, shaping your patterns without your awareness. I'll guide you through powerful steps to acknowledge your lineage, honor your ancestors, and break the energetic "loyalty contracts" that have kept you small. We'll explore sacred wisdom from African, Japanese, and indigenous traditions that show us how to reconnect with our roots and invite the blessings of those who came before us. And you'll remember: you are not here to carry your ancestors' pain, you're here to transform it. Listen closely, and you'll awaken to this truth: you are the bridge between the past and the future. You are the one your ancestors prayed for. When you heal yourself, you heal generations before you, and those yet to come. Timestamps: (00:01:44) - What you carry might not be yours: the unseen roots of ancestral trauma. (00:06:02) - You are the bloodline breaker: understanding your sacred assignment.

(00:18:57) - Fourth Step in healing ancestral trauma. (00:20:50) - Fifth Step in healing ancestral trauma. (00:23:13) - You are not here to carry their pain, you are here to transform it. Some questions I ask: Why do we repeat certain emotional and relationship patterns across generations? How can ancestral trauma influence success, love, or self-worth? What are some signs that you might be carrying inherited energy? How do different cultures honor their ancestors? What practical steps can you take to begin healing your lineage? How do we transform inherited pain into freedom and blessing? In this episode, you will learn about: How to Recognize Generational Patterns That Hold You Back Understanding. How unresolved trauma from your parents, grandparents, and ancestors can shape your emotions. Five actionable practices that help you release inherited pain and step into emotional and spiritual freedom. Why Honoring Your Ancestors Unlocks Inner Peace and Power. Unconscious agreements that keep you repeating your family's limitations, and how to rewrite those contracts with love, courage, and authenticity.

We kick things off with a serious wrist check, including a Gold Sky-Dweller, an AP Royal Oak, and a new Parmigiani Fleurier. Rashad and Troy share how they first met, how they got into luxury watches, and the story behind the "Earn Your Leisure" name. They also tell us why they think the authorized dealer (AD) game is "wack" and how they got their hands on a black-owned watch brand from Ghana.

Cette année, les cours de l'or ont atteint des sommets historiques. L'once a même dépassé les 4 000 dollars. L'or est une valeur refuge pour les investisseurs, et ces records de prix ont des effets importants sur les zones d'orpaillage, sur le continent africain. Les plus précaires se tournent vers cette activité, mais ils ne sont pas les seuls, puisque les acteurs criminels aussi s'y intéressent. Dans la région de Kédougou, au sud-est du Sénégal, de nouveaux sites d'orpaillage se creusent. « Il y a une ruée de l'or au niveau de la région, de Kédougou », raconte Oudy Diallo. Il est président de l'ONG Alerte Kédougou Environnement, et pour lui, le constat est sans appel. Le responsable tire la sonnette d'alarme face à une exploitation anarchique de plus en plus importante. « C'est clair qu'il y a une ruée extraordinaire, tout simplement de l'orpaillage. La population est en train d'augmenter considérablement pour venir chercher de l'or dans la région de Kédougou. Les gens envahissent partout. Malheureusement, on n'arrive pas à les recenser. Ils passent d'un point d'orpaillage à un autre. C'est une catastrophe écologique. Ce sont des grands trous dont le soubassement est fait par des troncs d'arbres. Dans chaque trou, on peut avoir entre 80 et 100 troncs d'arbres. Vous imaginez le degré du carnage », s'inquiète-t-il. La ruée contamine toute la région des Grands Lacs Le phénomène dépasse largement les frontières du Sénégal. En Ituri, dans l'est de la République démocratique du Congo, l'exploitation artisanale d'or attire toujours plus de monde, malgré l'interdiction d'exploitation dans certaines zones en raison du conflit en cours. À Bunia, Maître Schadrac, spécialiste du secteur minier artisanal, observe la même tendance : « Nous avons constaté que sur place, en Ituri, en République Démocratique du Congo, les prix de l'or ont vraiment galopé. Et cela attire aussi beaucoup de gens à aller travailler dans les mines, dans des zones où l'activité minière est encore opérationnelle, dans les territoires de Mambasa, d'Irumu et une partie de Djougou. Il y a cette question du manque de travail, du chômage. Il y a même des intellectuels, des gens qui ont atteint des niveaux très importants d'études qui sont dans l'orpaillage, tout simplement parce qu'il n'y a pas de travail. » Cette poussée de l'orpaillage artisanal se reflète aussi dans les chiffres : au Ghana, 66 tonnes d'or artisanal ont été exportées durant les huit premiers mois de l'année, plus du double de l'an dernier. En Éthiopie, la Banque centrale a acheté plus de 26 tonnes, soit six fois plus que l'année précédente. Une économie dorée… mais sous tension Pour Marc Ummel, expert au sein de l'ONG Swissaid, cette ruée vers l'or est le symptôme d'une dynamique à double tranchant : « Il y a de nombreuses personnes qui quittent leur activité, notamment dans le domaine de l'agriculture, pour se lancer dans l'extraction d'or. Évidemment, comme les revenus liés à ce secteur deviennent plus importants – puisque le prix de l'or est plus élevé –, il y a ce phénomène d'attractivité économique. Et d'un autre côté, il y a ce grand risque que ce secteur soit de plus en plus contrôlé par des groupes armés, des bandes criminelles, des narcotrafiquants. Et c'est quelque chose qu'on observe aussi en Afrique de l'Ouest, dans les pays du Sahel. On voit vraiment que de plus en plus de groupes criminels et de groupes armés contrôlent une partie importante de ce commerce de l'or, et en particulier dans les pays fragiles où certains groupes contrôlent des parties importantes du territoire. Donc, c'est un phénomène très préoccupant. » Premier importateur d'or africain, les Émirats arabes unis ont reçu 748 tonnes en 2024, soit une augmentation de 14% par rapport à 2023. Fait marquant : la hausse des approvisionnements en provenance de zones en conflit, comme le Soudan, illustre à quel point la ruée vers l'or demeure un enjeu économique, environnemental et sécuritaire majeur pour le continent.

She is 2025 Fellow with Artists Inc and earned a prestigious spot with the 2025-2026 “Emerging Artists and Entrepreneurship Program” with the St. Louis Art Fair. She is a member of the Best of Missouri Hands. She also was accepted into a juried shows at the Quincy Art Center (Illinois), the Hermann Art Walk, the Green Door Art Gallery in Webster Groves, Wentzville Recreation Center, Artisans in the Loop, Edwardsville Arts Center, Wentzville at Crossroads Arts Council and at Framations in St. Charles.She is one of the featured artists at the Missouri History Museum's “Sold on St. Louis” gift shop. In 1996, while living and working in fundraising on the East Coast, she and her mother were driving and had a car crash. Only Brenda survived.Brenda was told that her life was a miracle. A private session provided some profound understanding. Brenda made a list of the qualities of the partner she desired, and she showed up. Brenda moved to Missouri in Oct 2004 and started attending CSL St. Louis earlier that summer.Thru CSL, she learned of a Hindu guru (Dr. Pillai) who taught Wayne Dyer the "ah" meditation, and from that workshop, big shifts occurred. Instead of buying a set of Mala Beads from Dr. Pillai, she learned and created her first set of Mala beads. Her partner, Patrice repaired Brenda's mother's broken rosary (broke during the car crash of 1996), and they ultimately started making jewelry in 2005 and selling it. They sold their jewelry for 15 years until Covid hit. In 2013-14, she raised the funds and made plans to travel to Ghana to work with women who are jewelry makers, using beads made from recycled glass. The experience was profound in many ways. She mentored and inspired the women to further their education, and to leave the impoverished village to move to the capital city where the work paid more. One woman took her advice, Regina went to school and moved to the capitol. Brenda has her mentor for 11 years and occasionally sends her funds.Brenda's work in fundraising and in art has been a supportive energy for healing others, promoting good causes and healing for herself.Support the showDonate – CelesteFrazier.com
