Thanks to Holly for suggesting this week’s topic! Further reading: Mermaids: Myth, Kith and Kin [this article is not for children] Feejee Mermaid A manatee: A female grey seal, looking winsome: A drawing of the “original” Fiji (or Feejee) mermaid: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Let's close out the year 2025 with a mystery episode! Holly suggested we talk about mermaids! Mermaids are creatures of folklore who are supposed to look like humans, but instead of legs they have fish tails. These days mermaids are usually depicted with a single tail, but it was common in older artwork for a mermaid to be shown with two tails, which replaced both legs. Not all mermaids were girls, either. Mermen were just as common. Cultures from around the world have stories about mermaid-like individuals. Sometimes they're gods or goddesses, like the Syrian story of a goddess so beautiful that when she transformed into a fish, only her legs changed, because her upper half was too beautiful to alter, or the Greek god Triton, who is usually depicted as a man with two fish tails for legs. Sometimes they're monsters who cause storms, curse ships, or lure sailors to their doom. Sometimes they can transform into humans, like the story from Madagascar about a fisherman who catches a mermaid in his net. She transforms into a human woman and they get married, but when he breaks a promise to her, she turns back into a mermaid and swims away. In 2012, a TV special aired on Animal Planet that claimed that mermaids were real, and a lot of people believed it. It imitated the kind of real documentaries that Animal Planet often ran, and the only disclaimer was in the credits. I remember how upset a lot of people were about it, especially teachers and scientists. So just to be clear, mermaids aren't real. Many researchers think at least some mermaid stories might be based on real animals. The explorer Christopher Columbus reported seeing three mermaids in 1493, but said they weren't as beautiful as he'd heard. Most researchers think he actually saw manatees. A few centuries later, a mermaid was captured and killed off the coast of Brazil by European scientists, and the careful drawings we still have of the mermaid's hand bones correspond exactly to the bones of a manatee's flipper. Female manatees are larger than males on average, and a really big female can grow over 15 feet long, or 4.6 meters. Most manatees are between 9 and 10 feet long, or a little less than 3 meters. Its body is elongated like a whale's, but unlike a whale it's slow, usually only swimming about as fast as a human can swim. Its skin is gray or brown although often it has algae growing on it that helps camouflage it. The end of the manatee's tail looks like a rounded paddle, and it has front flippers but no rear limbs. Its face is rounded with a prehensile upper lip covered with bristly whiskers, which it uses to find and gather water plants. The manatee doesn't look a lot like a person, but it looks more like a person than most water animals. It has a neck and can turn its head like a person, its flippers are fairly long and resemble arms, and females have a pair of teats that are near their armpits, if a manatee had armpits, which it does not. But that's close enough for Christopher Columbus to decide he was seeing a mermaid. Seals may have also contributed to mermaid stories. In Scottish folklore, the selkie is a seal that can transform into human shape, usually by taking off its skin. There are lots of stories of people who steal the selkie's skin and hide it so that the selkie will marry the person—because selkies are beautiful in their human form. Eventually the selkie finds the hidden skin and returns to the sea. Similar seal-folk legends are found in other parts of northern Europe, including Sweden, Iceland, Norway, and Ireland. Many of the stories overlap with mermaid stories. Seals do have appealing human-like faces, have clawed front flippers that sort of resemble arms, and have rear flippers that are fused to act like a tail, even if it doesn't look much like a fish tail. The grey seal is a common animal off the coast of northern Europe, and a big male can grow almost 11 feet long, or 3.3 meters, although 9 feet is more common, or 2.7 meters. It has a large snout and no external ear flaps. Males are dark grey or brown, females are more silvery in color. It mainly eats fish, but will also eat other animals, including crustaceans, octopuses, other seals, and even porpoises. While I don't think it has anything to do with the mermaid or selkie legends, it is interesting to note that seals are good at imitating human voices. We learned about this in episode 225, about talking mammals. For instance, Hoover the talking seal, a harbor seal from Maine who was raised by a human after his mother died. Imagine if you were walking along the shore and a seal said this to you: [Hoover the talking seal saying “Hey get over here!”] Let's finish with the Japanese legend of the ningyo and a weird taxidermy creature called the Feejee mermaid. The ningyo is a being of folklore that dates back to at least the 7th century. It was a fish with a head like a person, usually found in the ocean but sometimes in freshwater. If someone found a ningyo washed up on shore, it was supposed to be a bad omen, foretelling war and other disasters. If you remember the big fish episode a few weeks ago, if an oarfish is found near the surface of the ocean around Japan, it's supposed to foretell an earthquake. The oarfish has a red fin that runs from its head down its spine, like a mane or a comb, and the ningyo was also supposed to have a red comb on its head, like a rooster's comb, or sometimes red hair. Some people think the ningyo is based on the oarfish. The oarfish is a deep-sea fish so it's rare, usually only seen near the surface when it's dying, and it has a flat face that looks more like a human face than most fish, if you squint and really want to believe you're seeing a mythical creature. These days, artwork of the ningyo usually looks a lot more like mermaids of European legend, but the earliest paintings don't usually have arms, just a human head on a fish body. But by the late 18th century, a weird type of artwork had become popular among Japanese fishermen, a type of crude but inventive taxidermy that created what looked like small, creepy mermaids. They looked like dried-out monkeys from the waist up, with a dried-out fish tail instead of legs. That's because that's exactly what they were. Japanese fishermen made these mermaids along with lots of other monsters, and sold them to travelers for high prices. The fishermen told tall tales about how they'd found the monster, killed it, and preserved it, and pretended to be reluctant to sell it, and of course that meant the traveler would offer even more money for it. The most famous of these fake monsters was called the Fiji Mermaid, and it got famous because P.T. Barnum displayed it in his museum in 1842 and said it had been caught near the Fiji Islands, in the South Pacific. It was about three feet along, or 91 cm, and was probably made from a young monkey and a salmon. The original Fiji mermaid was probably destroyed in a fire at some point, but it was such a popular exhibit that other wannabe showmen either bought or made replicas, some of which are still around today. People still sometimes make similar monsters, but they use craft materials instead of dead animals. They're still creepy-looking, though, which is part of the fun.

We've all heard advice about good sleep hygiene. No phones or caffeine before bed, and make sure that we get a good eight hours' rest. But is this the best sleep pattern, or have we just been led to it by modern life?我们都听过关于良好睡眠习惯的建议：睡前不要玩手机或摄入咖啡因，并且要确保有充足的八小时睡眠。但这真的是最好的睡眠模式吗？还是说，我们只是被现代生活方式引导成这样的？Artificial light in our houses and streets means that we no longer have to go to bed at sundown. Having a job to go to at a set time in the morning can be the main determining factor on when we decide to rouse ourselves. In past centuries, the time of sunset and sunrise had a much bigger impact on people's days. Historical studies have shown that in many parts of the world it was common for people to sleep in two sections, from dusk until around 11 and then from one in the morning until sunrise. This segmented or biphasal sleep pattern is referred to as far back in history as ancient Greece.家中和街道上的人工照明，使我们不再需要在日落时就上床睡觉。而早晨必须在固定时间上班，往往成为我们决定何时起床的主要因素。在过去的几个世纪里，日落和日出的时间对人们的日常生活影响要大得多。历史研究表明，在世界许多地区，人们普遍采取分两段的睡眠方式：从黄昏睡到大约晚上十一点，再从凌晨一点睡到日出。这种分段式或“双相睡眠”模式，早在古希腊时期的历史记载中就已经出现。So, if modern sleep patterns are in some part due to modern lifestyles and technologies, could segmented sleep patterns be more natural? Some studies suggest that they are. The circadian rhythms that determine when we start to feel drowsy are greatly affected by light. Study participants subjected to 14 hours of complete darkness a day started to develop a biphasal sleeping pattern. As recently as 2017, similar patterns have also been seen in some communities in rural Madagascar that do not have access to electric light.那么，如果现代的睡眠模式在某种程度上是现代生活方式和技术造成的，分段睡眠是否反而更自然呢？一些研究表明，答案是肯定的。决定我们何时开始感到困倦的昼夜节律，会受到光线的强烈影响。研究中，每天处在十四小时完全黑暗环境下的参与者，开始逐渐形成双相睡眠模式。甚至就在2017年，在马达加斯加一些无法使用电灯的农村社区中，也观察到了类似的睡眠模式。They may be more natural, but are these sleeping patterns healthier? Experts caution that the small number of studies carried out means that the risks and benefits of segmented sleeping are not well understood. Nevertheless, some people have found it to be a useful way to find time to be creative. Psychologist Gregg Jacobs suggests that the period of time that people used to spend awake in past centuries could have been used to regulate stress. Other experts remind us that many people find that they wake in the night, and then get anxious at not being able to get back to sleep, which in itself exacerbates any sleeplessness.这种睡眠方式也许更自然，但是否更健康呢？专家提醒，由于相关研究数量有限，分段睡眠的风险和益处仍未被充分了解。尽管如此，一些人发现这种方式能帮助他们腾出时间进行创造性活动。心理学家格雷格·雅各布斯认为，在过去的几个世纪里，人们夜间清醒的那段时间，可能被用来调节压力。其他专家则提醒我们，很多人会在夜里醒来，并因无法再次入睡而感到焦虑，而这种焦虑本身反而会加重失眠。Making use of the awake time to do something restful could help people improve their sleep. If you do want to try it, sleep researcher Mary Carskadon reminds us that we should stay away from bright lights to avoid disturbing our circadian rhythms. You also might want to check that it won't disturb your work and social life too much.如果能善用夜间清醒的时间，去做一些让人放松的事情，或许有助于改善睡眠。如果你想尝试这种方式，睡眠研究员玛丽·卡斯卡登提醒，应当远离强光，以免干扰昼夜节律。同时，你也需要确认这种作息不会对你的工作和社交生活造成太大的影响。

In a heartwarming twist, a couple in Nova Scotia received $40 and an apology letter from Alabama after a mistaken burger order. Bumblebees learned to associate Morse code with rewards, showcasing their remarkable cognitive abilities.

Source: dailysignal.com https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2002605302932517339?s=20 Gas is About to Get Expensive . . . A gallon of gas costs about twice as much in California as it does pretty much anywhere else in the United States. The reason why, of course, is that California makes it cost about twice as much – by reducing supply and by adding costs, chiefly for “environmental” reasons. This includes a new requirement – going into effect very soon (Dec. 31) that all gas stations must either replace single-walled underground storage tanks or permanently close them – no matter whether the tanks are actually leaking and no matter how much it costs to replace them. It is estimated that about 473 gas stations in California are going to close – because the owners cannot afford the mandatory underground storage tank upgrade costs or the $5,000 per day fines for non-compliance. At the same time, the state's regulatory bureaucracy has essentially shut down supply by denying 97 percent of permits for new refineries to supply the extra-special (and extra-expensive) gasoline formulations that all gas stations in California are required to sell. If this hypothetical scenario ends up becoming the actual scenario it could result in the collapse of California as a state.

Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA), the authors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump last month, announced their intention to bring charges for inherent contempt against Attorney General Pam Bondi.  Under the rarely used congressional power, “the House or Senate has its Sergeant-At-Arms, or deputy, take a person into custody for proceedings to be held in Congress,” according to the National Constitution Center. However, it is unclear how effective this would be in the face of legal challenges and the executive branch's power. This is the latest in an escalating saga of threats, with Massie and Khanna claiming the DOJ has not complied fully with the law due to redactions in the files and not releasing every document available. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared on NBC's Meet the Press this morning, where he dared Massie and Khanna to “bring it on,” maintaining that the DOJ is simply following the law and taking the necessary time to make redactions before releasing all of the files. Blanche told NBC's Kristen Welker that ensuring victim information is redacted “very much Trumps some deadline in the statute,” and he dared Khanna and Massie to file Articles of Impeachment. “We are complying with the statute, we will continue to comply with the statute, and if by complying with the statute, we don't produce everything on Friday, we produce things next week, and the week after, that's still compliance with the statute,” Blanche added.

All of them had taken up their posts in the Joe Biden administration but had survived an initial purge in the early months of Mr. Trump's second term that targeted mainly political appointees. That changed on Wednesday (December 17, 2025) when they began to receive notices from officials in Washington about their imminent departures.  How Trump shifted America's policy in a week Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President, although they typically remain at their posts for three to four years.

Africa is the continent most affected by the removals, with ambassadors from 13 countries being removed: Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia and Uganda. Second is Asia, with ambassadorial changes coming to six countries: Fiji, Laos, the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and Vietnam affected.

To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo.  Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks.  The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.  , the use of emissaries outside the govt framework of traditional policy was going to be a key facet in any America-First agenda. The Deep State does not like President Trump's use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy.  In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it. The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump.  The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form.  The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President.  The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump. The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable. The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President.  The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told. This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is.  More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.

In a landmark interview on The Ash Said It Show, Tom Buchsbaum, co-founder of Austin Craft Spirits, detailed the origin story of a brand that is systematically redefining the American spirits landscape. Transitioning from tech innovation to precision distilling, Buchsbaum has positioned Austin 101 at the intersection of Texas Terroir and Environmental Stewardship. The Genesis: Solving the "Bourbon Fatigue" Market Gap Buchsbaum's moment of conviction came from identifying a "White Space" in the spirits industry. While the market was saturated with heavy, oak-forward Bourbons and spicy Ryes, there was a profound lack of high-clarity, grain-forward spirits. Austin 101 was engineered to bridge the gap between premium vodka and traditional whiskey. By utilizing the Light Whiskey designation, Buchsbaum's team distills at a higher purity—precisely between 160 and 190 proof—resulting in a spirit that retains the complex esters of the grain without the aggressive wood tannins of a virgin barrel. The Science of Texas Terroir: Steam Distillation The brand's "flavor-first" philosophy is powered by a custom-engineered 42-foot steam-jacketed column still. Unlike traditional direct-fire stills that can scorch the mash, Austin 101's precision thermal control operates below 210∘F. The Mash Bill: 100% Texas-grown non-GMO white corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley. The Profile: This low-temperature extraction preserves the signature butterscotch, vanilla, and stone fruit notes that have become the brand's sensory hallmark. Sustainability: The Circular Whiskey Economy Austin 101's commitment to Green Luxury is anchored in their Circular Aging Process. The distillery exclusively utilizes recycled American white oak barrels sourced from local Texas craft bourbon makers. This sustainable finishing serves two critical functions: Ecological Preservation: It drastically reduces the carbon footprint associated with new timber harvesting. Flavor Refinement: By using "seasoned" wood, the whiskey undergoes a mellow maturation that highlights the grain's natural sweetness rather than masking it behind heavy char. Future Trajectory: Scaling the "Texas Light" Global Category Small-Batch Precision at Scale As Austin 101 expands its distribution footprint beyond the Texas border, the brand employs a data-driven distillation model to ensure consistency. From the approachable Austin 85 to the award-winning Austin 111 Cask Strength, the scaling process remains rooted in small-batch integrity and rigorous quality control. The Next Frontier of Innovation Buchsbaum teased a roadmap of experimental releases designed to push the boundaries of the Light Whiskey category. Enthusiasts can expect: Grain-Specific Expressions: Leveraging high-rye mash bills for a "Light but Bold" profile. Experimental Cask Finishes: Utilizing the unique Texas climate to accelerate interactive aging in diverse secondary vessels. 2035 Vision: Defining Texas Whiskey Globally The long-term vision is clear: Austin 101 aims to be the global benchmark for Texas Light Whiskey. Within the next decade, Buchsbaum anticipates Light Whiskey becoming a mainstream pillar of the spirits industry, with Austin 101 leading the charge through its unique blend of technical precision, authentic provenance, and sustainable distilling. Web: https://www.austin101whiskey.c... About the brand: Austin 101 stands as a testament to geographic authenticity. Eschewing the shortcuts of mass-produced spirits, the distillery anchors its identity in Texas Terroir. Every drop is forged from a proprietary mash bill of 100% locally sourced grains, including non-GMO white corn, soft red winter wheat, and malted barley. By maintaining a strict grain-to-glass pipeline, Austin 101 ensures that the spirit remains an honest reflection of the Hill Country's agricultural heritage. The brand rejects artificial additives and chill-filtration, opting instead for a transparent expression of the raw ingredients. Precision Crafting: The Art of High-Proof Refinement The hallmark of Austin 101 is its precision distillation process. While conventional whiskeys often lean on heavy barrel char to mask imperfections, Austin 101 utilizes a high-proof distillation method (reaching between 160 and 190 proof) to isolate the most elegant flavor compounds. This technical rigor allows for the surgical removal of harsh congeners, leaving behind a clean, sophisticated "heart" of the spirit. The result is a structural complexity rarely found in American whiskey—a profile characterized by: Bright Top Notes: Notes of wildflower honey and stone fruit. Mid-Palate Depth: Rich layers of creamy butterscotch and Madagascar vanilla. A Refined Finish: A signature "light" exit that is exceptionally smooth, favoring subtle almond and spice over aggressive wood tannins. Visionary Sustainability and Circular Aging Austin 101 redefines luxury through the lens of environmental stewardship. Central to its mission is a pioneering Circular Aging Program. By maturing the spirit in recycled American white oak barrels, the distillery significantly mitigates the environmental impact of new timber harvesting. This sustainable approach is not merely an ecological choice but a flavor-driven one; the seasoned oak allows the delicate nuances of the Texas grain to flourish without being overwhelmed by the intense char of a virgin barrel. From localized grain procurement to water-conscious production, Austin 101 represents a new era of eco-conscious distilling, proving that a premium whiskey can be both world-class and world-respecting.

En este mensaje, el pastor Robert comparte una parábola inolvidable sobre cómo sería la Navidad si hubiera ocurrido en Madagascar.

Du Népal au Pérou, de Madagascar au Maroc, son drapeau "One Piece" a écumé les mobilisations contagieuses d'une jeunesse hyperconnectée réclamant un avenir à des pouvoirs jugés verrouillés: la Gen Z a marqué l'actualité internationale en 2025 en faisant chuter deux gouvernements, au Népal et à Madagsacar.Cette jeunesse a opté pour un mode de mobilisation horizontal sans leader désigné, passant par les réseaux sociaux.Si la Gen Z réclame des systèmes d'éducation ou de santé efficaces, elle entend aussi dénoncer la corruption, la répression et la mauvaise utilisation de l'argent public.Invités: Elisabeth Soulié, anthropologue, auteure de "La génération Z aux rayons X" (Editions du Cerf, 2020)Paolo Stuppia, politiste, chercheur à l'Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, co-auteur avec Valerie Becquet de "Géopolitique de la jeunesse, engagement et (dé)mobilisations" (Editions Le Cavalier Bleu, 2024)Cécile Van de Velde, Professeure de sociologie à l'Université de MontréalReportages: AFPTVDoublages: Gabrielle Chatelain, Pascale Trouillaud, Fany Lattach, Michaëla Cancela-KiefferMusique One Piece: Hiroshi Kitadani, Columbia Music EntertainmentRéalisation: Emmanuelle Baillon, Michaëla Cancela-Kieffer, Maxime Mamet.La Semaine sur le fil est le podcast hebdomadaire de l'AFP.

Des Lions de l'Atlas aux Éléphants de Côte d'Ivoire, en passant par les Aigles du Mali et les Guépards du Bénin, pourquoi la majorité des sélections nationales de foot en Afrique ont-elles pour emblème des animaux ? Six équipes de foot africaines sur dix ont pour emblème un animal, parce que l'Afrique abrite quelques-unes des espèces les plus charismatiques, à commencer par le lion. Trois pays se sont choisi comme emblème le roi des animaux, dans l'espoir d'être les dieux du stade : le Cameroun, et les Lions indomptables, le Maroc et les Lions de l'Atlas, une sous-espèce disparue à l'état naturel, et le Sénégal, avec les Lions de la Teranga. « Par sa crinière, le lion impose la respectabilité. Il vous fait peur, souligne le journaliste Rémy N'Gono, consultant à Radio Foot Internationale. Quand les Sénégalais entrent dans un stade, ils agissent comme des lions : ils se jettent sur la proie. Ils ont faim. Ils ont envie de te dévorer ! » Des animaux puissants Les félins, superprédateurs, se taillent d'ailleurs la part du lion. « L'animal représente souvent la puissance dans les totems. Prenez le léopard du Zaïre de Mobutu Sese Seko. Il avait décidé que ce serait et son emblème et l'emblème de l'équipe nationale », rappelle Rémy N'Gono. « Dans le choix d'un emblème, précise le sociologue du sport Patrick Mignon, il y a quelque chose qui relève de ce qu'on va penser être un consensus sur une représentation de soi ; quel est, effectivement, l'animal sur lequel on va pouvoir trouver un accord qui satisfera tout le monde. À partir de là, c'est aussi une image qu'on renvoie à l'adversaire. » La force tranquille des Zébus de Madagascar, le mordant des Scorpions de Gambie, ou la puissance des Étalons, l'animal symbole du Burkina Faso… On choisit un emblème, lié à son pays, pour ses qualités physiques. « En Afrique, il y a des animaux qui sont beaucoup respectés, mais qu'aucune équipe ne peut prendre comme nom ou comme sobriquet. Par exemple : la tortue. Tout le monde te dira en Afrique que c'est l'animal le plus intelligent. Mais le football représente un combat, donc à partir de cet instant, on cherche celui qui peut avoir la force de pouvoir gagner, pas par la ruse, mais par la détermination, l'endurance, le côté physique », explique Rémy N'Gono. La loi de la jungle sur la pelouse Trois pays ont choisi l'aigle : la Tunisie, le Nigeria et le Mali. Mais que dire alors des Hirondelles du Burundi ? En 2023, le Bénin a officiellement changé de nom. Les Écureuils sont devenus les Guépards. Ce qui fait sourire Rémy N'Gono : « Dans la forêt, où les fauves sont là, l'écureuil est sur des branches en train de chercher des noix de palmiste. Mais qu'est-ce que l'écureuil peut gagner ? Du coup, [les Béninois] se sont dit : nous allons devenir des guépards. Mais vous le savez très bien : l'âne a beau changer de nom, il restera toujours un âne ! ». En 2019, les Lions de la Teranga se faisaient battre en finale par les Fennecs, les renards rusés du désert algérien. La loi de la jungle n'est pas toujours respectée.

Slavery played a significant role in the early history of Paarl, Western Cape, particularly during the 17th and 18th centuries under Dutch and later British colonial rule. Enslaved people—brought mainly from East Africa, Madagascar, India, and Southeast Asia, as well as Indigenous Khoisan people—were forced to work on farms, vineyards, and in households, forming the backbone of the local agricultural economy. Their labour was central to the development of Paarl's wine and wheat industries. Despite harsh conditions, enslaved communities preserved and blended cultural traditions, languages, and spiritual practices that continue to influence the region today. The legacy of slavery in Paarl remains visible in its social history, cultural expressions, and the lived experiences of descendant communities long after emancipation in 1834. Hybré van Niekerk, a self-taught Historian and Culture tourist guide from Paarl, tells is more.

Le Maroc a connu en 2025 une nouvelle vague de protestation populaire. Protestation portée par la Gen Z  212. 212 pour l'indicatif téléphonique du Maroc. La mobilisation 2025 s'inscrit après celle du 20 février en 2011, et le mouvement populaire du Rif en 2016-2017.  Ces jeunes de 18 à 25 ans très connectés, inspirés par les manifestations au Népal, à Madagascar ou en Indonésie, ont clamé leur refus de la corruption, et exiger une amélioration des services publics, comme la santé et l'éducation. Sans affiliation politique ou syndicale, ils ont fini par exiger la démission du gouvernement, mais sans succès. Aujourd'hui, ils dénoncent la répression qui s'est abattue sur eux. 1 473 jeunes sont toujours en prison, dont 330 mineurs selon les chiffres officiels.   GenZ  212 au Maroc : « Ils ont semé la peur en nous », un reportage de François Hume-Ferkatadji.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 12 décembre 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.Lucile Schmid, présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova.LA SÉCURITÉ SOCIALE A 80 ANSNé en 1945 dans l'élan du Conseil national de la Résistance, l'État-providence français avait une ambition fondatrice : protéger chacun contre les grands risques de la vie. Il commence par la création de la Sécurité sociale et du régime de retraite par répartition, à une époque où 5 actifs soutenaient un retraité (contre 1,7 aujourd'hui). Les décennies suivantes ont vu un élargissement progressif du socle, au-delà de la seule logique assurantielle. Quatre-vingts ans plus tard, la Sécurité sociale n'a pas perdu l'amour des Français, ni, à leurs yeux, son attribut le plus précieux : l'universalité. Près de 80 % la considèrent comme la meilleure au monde et 85 % jugent impératif de maintenir une couverture universelle, sans distinction de revenus, selon un sondage Ifop de mars 2025. Mais elle traverse aujourd'hui une nouvelle crise grave. Le déficit record de l'assurance-maladie prévu cette année - 23 milliards en 2025 (contre 17,2 milliards en 2024) - interroge sur la capacité du système à perdurer. Et la pression démographique menace de le faire dériver encore plus, tandis que le vieillissement démographique déséquilibre autant le système de santé que celui des retraites en déficit elles de 6,6 milliards d'euros pour cette année. Un vieillissement à prendre d'autant plus en compte que les dépenses de santé augmentent exponentiellement avec l'âge. D'après la Direction de la recherche, des études, de l'évaluation et des statistiques, en 2021, la dépense annuelle moyenne a été de 1.114 euros pour les moins de 20 ans, 1.632 euros pour les 21-40 ans, 2.717 euros pour les 41-60 ans, 4.498 euros pour les 61-70 ans, 6.291 euros pour les 71-80 ans et 8.529 euros pour les plus de 80 ans. De fait, les plus de 60 ans concentrent plus de 50 % de la dépense totale, alors qu'ils représentent 28 % de la population.Dans un rapport publié le 3 novembre, la Cour des comptes a mis en garde contre les effets budgétaires du vieillissement de la population et de la baisse de la natalité. « Premier poste de dépenses de la protection sociale, les pensions de vieillesse et de survie représentaient en effet 353 milliards d'euros en 2023, soit 13,4 % du PIB »,signale le rapport. La Cour souligne que le poids de la démographie sur les finances publiques va aller croissant, et invite à repenser « la vision collective » du vieillissement et de l'âge du départ à la retraite. Pour mémoire, au début des années 1980, la dette ne finançait qu'1 % de la dépense sociale ; elle en finance désormais 10 %.Mardi, à une courte majorité - 247 voix contre 234 (et 93 abstentions) - les députés ont validé le Projet de loi de financement de la sécurité sociale. Il prévoit notamment la suspension de la réforme des retraites, la hausse de la CSG sur les revenus du patrimoine et la hausse de 3 % des dépenses de santé. Résultat : malgré les concessions accordées aux oppositions, le déficit de la Sécurité sociale devrait rester sous les 20Mds€ en 2026. Après un passage par le Sénat, le texte devrait revenir au Palais-Bourbon mardi prochain pour un ultime vote.L'AFRIQUE : DE JUNTE EN JUNTEEn cinq ans, le Sahel a complètement changé. Les coups d'État militaires d'abord présentés comme des réponses temporaires à la crise sécuritaire, semblent installer durablement des régimes autoritaires. Au-delà du rejet commun de la présence française, ces nouveaux pouvoirs militaires peinent à formuler un véritable projet et surtout à endiguer une vague djihadiste de plus en plus meurtrière. La région est désormais secouée par des crises répétées qui ignorent les frontières nationales. Cette vague de coups d'État et de prises de pouvoir militaires a créé un paysage politique instable dans plusieurs régions. En novembre 2025, sept pays étaient dirigés par des juntes militaires, chacuneavec sa propre trajectoire, sa justification et ses tensions politiques propres.Au Mali, le retour à un régime militaire a commencé par deux coups d'État en moins d'un an, le premier en août 2020, suivi d'un autre en mai 2021. Le Burkina Faso a connu deux coups d'État militaires en 2022. L'ordre politique du Niger s'est effondré en juillet 2023. En mars 2025, la junte a adopté une charte de transition fixant un délai de cinq ans pour le retour à un régime constitutionnel. La Guinée a basculé dans un régime militaire en septembre 2021. La junte s'était initialement engagée à une transition structurée, mais le calendrier a été sans cesse repoussé. Au Soudan l'armée a pris le contrôle en octobre 2021, faisant dérailler un fragile accord de partage du pouvoir entre civils et militaires. En avril 2023, le pays a sombré dans une guerre civile brutale entre les forces armées soudanaises et les forces paramilitaires de soutien rapide. En octobre 2025, Madagascar a rejoint la liste des pays africains sous régime militaire. En Guinée-Bissau, le coup d'État qui a renversé le 26 novembre le président sortant Umaro Sissoco Embalo et suspendu les élections en cours est le dixième putsch en Afrique depuis 2020. Ce pays lusophone côtier d'Afrique de l'Ouest situé entre le Sénégal et la Guinée (Conakry), avait déjà connu quatre coups d'État et une kyrielle de tentatives de putsch depuis son indépendance du Portugal en 1974. La junte promet une transition d'un an. Les Bissau-Guinéens n'y croient plus vraiment. Dans un pays où chaque cycle électoral finit dans les casernes, la démocratie semble condamnée à ne jamais dépasser le stade de l'intention. Le Bénin, longtemps considéré comme une exception démocratique et qui n'avait plus connu de tels soubresauts depuis 1972, vient de rejoindre le club des pays touché par l'épidémie de putschs. Dimanche dernier, il s'en est fallu de peu que le pays ne rejoigne la longue liste des pays africains ayant connu un coup d'État militaire ces cinq dernières années. Le coup d'État a été mis en échec.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Today's guest is someone who didn't just survive the worst year of his life, he rebuilt himself from the wreckage and made it public so the rest of us wouldn't feel so alone. Chris Carazas is a global development strategist, memoirist, and creator of a thriving Substack universe where trauma, resilience, humor, and hard-won clarity collide in ways that actually make you rethink your own story.He's the author of Now That I'm Still Here: A Memoir of Ruin and Resurrection, a book that takes you through collapse, recovery, identity, and the quiet, stubborn courage required to stay alive when everything in you is begging to disappear. His writing spans continents, childhoods, faith, family, and the messy process of healing, all while weaving in razor-sharp insight and a voice that refuses to apologize for its honesty.Chris blends global experience with emotional precision, translating life in Senegal, Madagascar, Bolivia, and beyond into a body of work that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of place or misunderstood. And yes, his German shepherd Shadow has become a recurring character in his storytelling, mostly because she has editorial standards no human can match.Links: chriscarazas.com Substack substack.com/@ccarazasThis podcast is for you if you're looking to:Join a community for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who thinks ‘out of the box.'Find conversations on Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.Learn how to use your unique wiring for a purposeful life.Visit Middle Earth Medicine to learn more and connect with Caroline.Your donations directly fuel the growth of this podcast!

2025 was a year of global protests. More than 70 countries across every region of the world experienced anti-government demonstrations. Some of these movements — such as those in Nepal and Madagascar — led to the toppling of governments; others emerged in countries with little history of protest, like Tanzania. Many were youth-led, with Gen Z protesters drawing inspiration from one another across borders. My guest today is Thomas Carothers, director of the Democracy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he runs the Global Protest Tracker. Drawing on data from the Tracker, he and co-author Judy Lee recently published an essay on the drivers of global protests in 2025, which we discuss in our conversation. We begin with some big-picture global trends before turning to a longer discussion about whether Gen Z–led protests can be considered a global movement.

Zoonose virale, la fièvre de la vallée du Rift touche principalement les animaux, mais peut aussi toucher l'être humain. L'épidémie qui sévit actuellement au Sénégal semble marquer le pas, même si la circulation du virus reste intense pour le bétail. Selon les derniers chiffres du ministère de la Santé et de l'Hygiène Publique, le pays sahélien a enregistré 463 cas confirmés, dont 31 décès et 416 guéris. Début 2025, c'est la République centrafricaine qui avait signalé des cas de fièvre de la vallée du Rift, dans le nord-ouest du pays. Comment la maladie se transmet-elle ? Peut-on la prévenir ? Quels sont les symptômes ? Comment endiguer une épidémie ?  La fièvre de la vallée du Rift est une maladie animale, une zoonose virale, qui peut dans certains cas toucher l'humain. Mais, jusqu'à présent, aucune transmission interhumaine de cette arbovirose n'a été répertoriée. Cette zoonose vectorielle est transmise par plusieurs espèces de moustiques (Aedes, Culex), qui prolifèrent notamment à la saison des pluies. Les femelles moustiques peuvent transmettre le virus à leurs larves, dont les nymphes seront contaminées à l'éclosion.  Vaccinations du bétail  La fièvre de la vallée du Rift touche essentiellement les animaux, le bétail (vaches, moutons, chèvres…) et plus rarement les êtres humains, notamment les personnes qui travaillent auprès des animaux dans le secteur de l'élevage. Elle a été identifiée pour la première fois au Kenya, dans la vallée du Rift, en 1931.   Les signes chez l'animal sont la hausse des naissances d'animaux morts-nés et la vulnérabilité des jeunes ruminants. L'animal contaminé est faible. Il présente des symptômes fébriles comme des vomissements et parfois des diarrhées sanglantes. Chez l'humain, il existe plusieurs formes : certaines sont sévères, associées à des douleurs musculaires, une fièvre et des saignements qui conduisent au décès.  Une stratégie de riposte combinée  Des flambées de fièvre de la vallée du Rift ont été recensées, ces dernières années, en Afrique subsaharienne : Égypte, Afrique de l'Est, République Centrafricaine, Somalie et même Madagascar et le virus est aussi présent au Moyen-Orient. Ces derniers mois, c'est le Sénégal et la Mauritanie qui sont touchés. Le Sénégal, où les autorités sanitaires sont engagées dans une riposte contre la fièvre de la vallée du Rift, depuis le mois de septembre, pour contenir les foyers épidémiques et limiter la propagation du virus. Cette réponse sanitaire impose une approche plurielle : tests diagnostics, évaluation et cartographie, vaccination du bétail, surveillance et élimination des vecteurs.     Avec : Pr Christophe Rapp, infectiologue à l'Hôpital américain de Paris à Neuilly, en région parisienne.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to talk about a few types of camouflage, a suggestion by Måns, and we'll also talk about some camouflaged animals suggested by Sam, Owen and Aksel, Dylan, and Nina. There are lots of types of camouflage, not all of it visual in nature. Back in episode 191 we talked about some toxic moths that generate high-pitched clicks that bats hear, recognize, and avoid. Naturally, some non-toxic moths also generate the same sounds to mimic the toxic moths. Måns specifically suggested cryptic coloration, also called crypsis. It's a type of camouflage that allows an animal to blend into their surroundings, which can involve multiple methods. Some animals have cryptic coloration mainly along the edges of the body, to defeat a skill many predators use called edge detection. A lot of amphibians and reptiles have patches surrounded by an outline, with dark patches having a darker outline and light patches having a lighter outline. This acts as disruptive camouflage, hiding the outline of an animal's body as it moves around. Some animals take this camouflage even further, with a way to hide their own shadow. This is the case with the mossy leaf-tailed gecko, which is native to the forests of eastern Madagascar. It can grow up to 8 inches long, or 20 cm, not counting its tail, and it's nocturnal. Its tail is flat and broad, sort of shaped like a leaf, but it doesn't disguise itself as a leaf. The mossy leaf-tailed gecko has a complicated gray and brown pattern that looks like tree bark, and it can change its coloration a little bit to help it blend in even more. At night it's well hidden in tree branches as it climbs around looking for insects, but in the day it needs to hide really well to avoid becoming some other animal's snack while it's sleeping. It does this by finding a comfortable branch and flattening its body and tail against it so that it just looks like another part of the branch. But to make it even more hidden, it has a flap of skin along its sides that wraps even farther around the branch. Not only do these skin flaps hide its edges, it hides its shadow, since the flaps are really flat and there's no curved edge of a lizard belly pressed against a branch that a predator might notice. The most common kind of cryptic coloration is called countershading, and it's so common that you might not even have noticed it although you see it almost every time you see a fish, amphibian, reptile, and many birds and mammals. Countershading is an animal that's darker on top and lighter underneath, like a brown mouse with a white belly. It's even found in some insects and other invertebrates. Countershading is another way to hide a shadow. If a dolphin, for instance, was gray all over, its underside would look darker because of shadows, since sunlight shines down from the sky and makes shadows underneath the body. That would make its body shape look rounder, meaning it stands out more and a predator would notice it more easily. But most dolphins are pale gray or even white underneath.

In this episode, we are joined by Oscar Scafidi, a Guinness World Record–holding adventurer, author, and expert on some of the most remote regions of Africa. Oscar recently released his new book, Kayak the Mangoky, which chronicles his expedition to paddle the length of Madagascar's longest river. Oscar shares how a “random” decision to take a teaching job in Sudan changed the entire direction of his life, sparking a 20-year journey living, working, and traveling across 35 African countries. He opens up about misconceptions that keep travelers away from places like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Madagascar — and why those stereotypes are outdated and unfair. Oscar also tells the full story behind the Mangoky expedition: navigating bureaucratic obstacles, trekking through remote mountain ranges, facing immense portages due to rapids and croc-filled canyons, and hiking for nine days without water resupply. With satellite maps from the 1980s, confusing tributaries, and no agreed-upon “official” river source, finding where to start the expedition was an adventure in itself. Through this intense journey, Oscar reflects on resilience, teamwork, risk, and why community support — not macho heroics — is what makes expeditions succeed. The episode also highlights Oscar's charity work supporting Malagasy children in rural education.  

Biodiversity conservationist Lily-Arison Rene de Roland works with some of the rarest birds in the world. He's the Madagascar program director for the Peregrine Fund, a non-profit conservation organization that protects imperiled birds of prey like the Madagascar Fish-Eagle. These large raptors only eat fish, which means they rely on the same diminishing wetlands and natural resources as some fishing communities. In this episode, Lily shares how community-centered conservation programs are helping to support Madagascar's fishers and fish-eagles.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

Salegy may be the most popular dance music of Madagascar. It's a churning, harmonious groove with spine-stiffening vocal harmonies that emerged from towns and cities of northern Madagascar in the mid-20th century. On a trip to Diego Suarez, we learn that salegy's older origins are both fascinating and mysterious. We meet young salegy stars Ali Mourad and Jacs, and speak with the genre's reigning legend, Jaojoby, on the roof of his nightclub in Antananarivo. Along the way we visit a music school in Diego and hear blazing guitar riffs and get a fingerpicking tour of the entire island from guitar maestro Hajazz. Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #698

In this episode, the conversation begins with news of a significant archaeological announcement from Egypt, believed to be associated with new findings in the Great Pyramid of Giza. Next, they discuss new findings about the Silk Road that help better understand the many unknown cities related to this essential early trade route. The team then welcomes Wyoming State Archaeologist Spencer Pelton and Professor Emeritus Robert Kelly, University of Wyoming, to discuss the details of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).  Spencer Pelton became the Wyoming State Archaeologist in November 2019. Spencer has maintained a varied career in government, private, and academic sectors, working in Tennessee, North Carolina, California, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, and the Khovsgol Province of northern Mongolia. As a faculty member of the University of Wyoming Department of Anthropology, Spencer places an emphasis on training well-rounded students with a diverse set of knowledge and skills, offering educational opportunities in Plains and Rocky Mountain prehistory, global human dispersal, cultural resource management, archaeological excavation, and evolutionary perspectives in anthropology.

Simone is the last Greater Bamboo Lemur in Ranomafana, a protected rainforest in south-east Madagascar. After a happy start in life, surrounded by family, Simone finds herself alone, as members of her family disappear one by one. Three years on, and she's still alone - a social animal, a primate, just like us; how has this isolation affected her mental state? Through primatologist Dr. Patricia Wright and researcher, Alba Schielen, we witness Simone's desperate bid for companionship, as she takes a bold step for survival. At last Simone is happy again, but is all as harmonious as it seems? https://www.instagram.com/ct_wildlife/ Director Statement I had a chance encounter with the lemur featured in my film whilst trekking in the rainforest during my honeymoon in Madagascar in 2022. Upon hearing that this lemur was the last of her species in the area, I was eager to find out more about her and tell her story, which serves as a poignant reminder of how the global biodiversity crisis is affecting animals on a personal level. —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod

Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina was toppled in a military coup that capped weeks of youth protests over poverty, power outages and a lack of opportunity in the Indian Ocean island country. Right after parliament voted to impeach Rajoelina, who fled the country fearing for his safety, the leader of Madagascar's elite CAPSAT military unit said the armed forces would form a council made up of officers from the armed forces and gendarmerie, a military unit that polices civilians, and would appoint a prime minister to “quickly” form a civilian government.
