Podcasts about Namibia

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Jeff Hiller to discuss his new memoir Actress of a Certain Age as well as his recent Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for the HBO series Somebody Somewhere. Jeff talks about being completely surprised by the nomination, his plan to enjoy every moment of the Emmy experience and how happy he is to get to share it with the series' star Bridget Everett who is nominated in the writing category. He also talks about what it meant to play such a kind, nuanced character like Joel after years of often snarky smaller parts with names like Flight Attendant and Waiter. He also talks about making a vision board that was eerily similar to Joel's and he made his long before he even knew about the show. He also recalls spending a semester as an exchange student in Namibia in college and the story in his book hat made Dennis cry about receiving a very gay sign from his mother after she passed away. Other topics include: why he likes auditioning, how doing a lot of improv helps him in day-to-day life, carving up a twink on American Horror Story and loving it, that time Ryan Murphy ordered more cockrings and why you should never let a new guy you're dating come to your improv show.

Learning to fly does not mean learning to travel by light airplane. In this episode, longtime aviation journalist Tom Haines shares tips he's learned from a lifetime of cross-country flying in piston airplanes, including many he learned while flying with the late Richard Collins. Tom is also deeply involved in efforts to prevent poaching in Africa, so he describes the unique uses of CubCrafters airplanes in Namibia. In the Ready to Copy segment, Tom talks about flying the B-25, when he thinks unleaded avgas will be available, and his advice for new airplane owners.SHOW LINKS:* ERP Air Wing: https://www.erp.ngo/* Air Care Alliance: https://www.aircarealliance.org/* Lightspeed Zulu 4: https://www.sportys.com/zulu4

Wer aktuell nach Namibia auswandern will, steht vor einer harten Realität:

On our special 100th edition of The COSAFA Show, a century of episodes that have taken you across the Southern African region and beyond over the last few years, we chat to former Namibia international Salome Iiyambo, who is the owner and coach of Beauties FC. They are one of two teams that will debut at the expanded CAF Women's Champions League | COSAFA Qualifiers to be played in Johannesburg from August 22-31. Beauties are an historic club in Namibia but have been drawn into a tough pool at the regional championship that also includes two-time winners Mamelodi Sundowns from South Africa, Ntopwa FC of Malawi and Zambia's Zesco Ndola Girls.Only the winner of the tournament advances to the continental finals and Iiyambo knows the task at hand for her side but says their appearance at the tournament is about a lot more than what happens on the pitch.

In dieser Folge nehme ich dich mit in eines der bewegendsten Erlebnisse meiner Namibia-Reisen. Im Township Katatura, dem größten Slum Namibias, habe ich Olivia kennengelernt – eine taube Frau mit einem Leuchten in den Augen, das man nicht vergisst. Wir konnten uns anfangs nur über das Handy verständigen – doch genau dieses einfache Tool wurde zum Schlüsselmoment. Als ich ihr eine App zum Lippenlesen zeigte, spürte ich zum ersten Mal, wie etwas scheinbar Banales für uns – wie eine App – dort echte Hoffnung schenken kann. Leider funktionierte die App auf ihrem alten Gerät nicht – und so habe ich kurzerhand entschieden, ihr ein neues iPhone zu kaufen. Was ich zurückbekam, war unbezahlbar: ein Strahlen, eine Dankbarkeit, eine neue Perspektive auf das Leben. Diese Folge zeigt dir: ✨ Wie Dinge, die für uns selbstverständlich sind, in anderen Teilen der Welt Leben verändern können ✨ Warum es nicht um große Spenden oder riesige Aktionen geht – sondern um kleine, konkrete Gesten ✨ Und wie du mithelfen kannst, diesen Impact zu multiplizieren Mein Herzensanliegen an dich: Im Rahmen meiner nächsten Namib Desert Expedition bin ich im Oktober wieder in Namibia. Wieder werden wir am Ende der Expedition für zwei Tage in der Fraueninitiative Penduka sein. Ich möchte dieses Mal so viele Smartphones wie möglich für Frauen wie Olivia mitnehmen. Diese Frauen leben und arbeiten in einem Umfeld, in dem ein Smartphone Zugang zu Bildung, Kommunikation, Business – ja, zu echter Teilhabe am Leben bedeuten kann.

Reconnaissance Energy Africa or ReconAfrica CEO Brian Reinsborough joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the Kavango West 1X exploration well was officially spud on July 31st. The well is expected to reach a total depth of approximately 3,800 metres by the end of November 2025, targeting over 1,500 metres of Otavi carbonate reservoir, which is the primary objective of the Damara Fold Belt play. Reinsborough explained that Kavango West 1X is a large structural fold identified on modern 2D seismic data, measuring approximately 22 kilometers long by 3 kilometers wide. The well was reprioritized over other planned locations following the results of the company's previous well, Naingopo. This strategic shift, although extending the timeline slightly, reflects ReconAfrica's emphasis on rigorous technical analysis to maximize the potential for commercial success. The company says this location represents its best opportunity in the Damara Fold Belt to unlock the full potential of this play. The company is looking to share results before the end of 2025. ReconAfrica has identified over 19 prospects and four leads in the Damara Fold Belt trend and recently secured an additional 5 million acres via a Memorandum of Understanding in neighboring Angola. Due to current drilling priorities, the previously announced 3D seismic program has been rescheduled for 2026. Meanwhile, the company continues to evaluate strategic investment opportunities, including additional acreage, joint ventures, and production asset acquisitions, in line with its goal to accelerate production and cash flow generation. #proactiveinvestors #reconnaissanceenergyafricaltd #tsxv #reco #otcqx #recaf #NamibiaOil #ProspectI #OilExploration #EnergyUpdate #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGasNews #AfricanEnergy #OilDiscovery #EnergyInvesting #OilExploration #NamibiaOil #KavangoWell #OilExploration #EnergyNews #OnshoreDrilling #OilAndGas #BrianReinsborough #ProactiveInvestors #EnergyAfrica

What does rewilding mean in an African context? How can biodiversity conservation and community-led conservation go hand in hand to restore the African wilderness? In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we explore these questions with James Arnott, co-founder of Rewilding Africa, a leading non-profit working to advance rewilding, restoration ecology, and wildlife conservation across the African continent.James Arnott shares his journey from a background in corporate marketing and property development to leading one of Africa's most visionary initiatives for rewilding Africa. Along with Grant Fowlds—conservationist and bestselling author of Rewilding Africa and Saving the Last Rhinos—James is building a continent-wide network of community conservancies to regenerate ecosystems, protect African wildlife, and uplift local communities through a robust conservation economy.The conversation begins with a look at the global rewilding movement and how it compares to efforts in Africa. While rewilding has gained significant traction in Europe and the Americas, James highlights the added complexity of applying these methods in Africa, where conservation must be integrated with large-scale community development. In regions where local populations rely heavily on natural resources, rewilding must be linked directly to the creation of sustainable livelihoods to be effective.James explains how community conservancies, a model originally developed in Kenya and Namibia, offer a scalable and inclusive framework for rewilding in Africa. By creating protected areas that are co-managed by local communities, these conservancies promote wildlife protection, biodiversity conservation, and economic empowerment. Rewilding Africa's long-term vision is to develop community conservancies on land surrounding every national park in Africa, ensuring that local people are central to biodiversity management.Rewilding Africa operates on a three-phase model: planning, development, and management. This approach draws on James's background in property development and emphasizes the importance of master land use planning as a foundation for conservation success. However, as James notes, funding for such planning remains one of the organization's greatest challenges.The discussion then turns to the conservation economy. James describes this as the outcome of successful community conservancies—where tourism, agriculture, renewable energy, and other land uses generate sustainable employment and investment for local populations. Unlike Africa's dominant extractive industries, a conservation economy supports long-term environmental stewardship.James shares examples of projects that Rewilding Africa is supporting, including the Laziba Wildlife Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Laziba, the organization's flagship pilot, includes a Big Five game reserve at its core and offers potential for game farming, ecotourism, and regenerative agriculture. James also discusses partnerships in Kenya and Zambia, where Rewilding Africa is helping develop master land use plans for high-impact community conservancies.Listeners are also introduced to Rewilding Africa Adventures, a hands-on program that invites funders, students, and conservation enthusiasts to experience the realities of rewilding in the field. Through guided visits and community interactions, participants gain an understanding of the challenges facing wilderness areas, from poaching and deforestation to poverty and lack of opportunity.James outlines how individuals and organizations can support rewilding Africa. One way is through membership, which starts at just £1 per month and helps fund master planning and fieldwork. Another is by becoming an ambassador, promoting rewilding efforts within one's country, business network, or community. These ambassadors play a key role in spreading awareness and raising resources for biodiversity protection and wildlife conservation.Reflecting on challenges, James identifies the lack of funding for master land use planning and the need to find and train capable on-the-ground partners as major hurdles. Yet he also emphasizes a broader shift in conservation philosophy. The focus, he argues, must move from protecting animals in isolation to empowering people to be the custodians of their landscapes. When local communities are given the tools and incentives to conserve their environment, true and lasting rewilding becomes possible.He closes by sharing some of his most memorable moments around the campfire with indigenous communities and his hope that Rewilding Africa will one day help establish a network of thriving community conservancies across the continent.Books discussed in this episode include Rewilding Africa and Saving the Last Rhinos by Grant Fowlds, both of which offer vivid narratives about wildlife protection and community conservation efforts in Africa.Visit rewildingafrica.org.uk to learn more, become a member, or join the movement.If you care about African wildlife, wilderness restoration, biodiversity protection, and community-led conservation, this episode is for you.#Africa #AfricaWildlife #Rewilding #RewildingAfrica #Restoration #RestorationEcology #WildlifeConservation #BiodiversityConservation #Biodiversity #BiodiversityManagement #BiodiversityProtection #Wildlife #WildlifeEcology #WildlifeProtection #Conservation #ConservationBiology #AfricanWilderness #Wilderness #MegafaunaRewilding #TrophicRewilding #CommunityConservation #CommunityConservancies #CommunityBasedConservation #CommunityLedConservation Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Interview with Darrin Campbell, President & CEO of Namibia Critical Metals Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/namibia-critical-metals-tsxvnmi-jv-funded-rare-earth-project-pfs-due-oct-24-5707Recording date: 17th July 2025Namibia Critical Metals (TSXV:NMI) is positioning itself as a critical player in the global supply chain security landscape through development of the Lofdal heavy rare earth project in Namibia. The project represents one of the largest deposits of dysprosium and terbium outside China, targeting annual production of 150 tons of dysprosium and 30 tons of terbium from a compact 1,500-2,000 ton TREO operation.The company's strategic advantage lies in its focus on premium heavy rare earth elements rather than the more common light rare earths. While most projects target neodymium-praseodymium selling at $65 per kilogram, Lofdal's dysprosium commands $250 per kilogram and terbium exceeds $1,000 per kilogram. These elements are essential for high-temperature permanent magnet applications in defense systems, aerospace, and advanced electric vehicle motors.Namibia Critical Metals has secured a transformational partnership with JOGMEC, the Japanese government agency responsible for securing natural resources for Japanese industry. JOGMEC has invested $17 million to earn 40% of the project, with plans to reach 50% ownership through $20 million total investment. The partnership structure offers exceptional optionality for shareholders, including potential full project funding with a 26% carried working interest.Technical development has progressed substantially through 2025, with pilot-scale testing validating the hydrometallurgical flowsheet and XRT/XRF sorting technology demonstrating significant grade enhancement capabilities. The Pre-Feasibility Study remains on track for completion by year-end 2025, with capital expenditure targets under $300 million.The recent US Department of Defense investment in MP Materials, establishing 70% premium floor pricing for rare earths, validates the strategic importance of supply chain security and suggests growing government support for critical minerals projects outside Chinese control. With China controlling approximately 70% of global rare earth production, projects like Lofdal address acute supply vulnerabilities in Western defense and technology industries.View Namibia Critical Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/namibia-critical-metals-incSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Today We are traveling across the world and back in time to Namibia in the South West of Africa... 300 miles from the nearest grocery store, Lyn and Mike Methley raised their family while helping to build the first road through the area in the 1960's. They lived side by side with the lions, impala, crocodiles and the enormous, but sadly extinct, desert elephants. Living close to the Northern border with Angola, they also had more than a few encounters with guerrilla fighters during a particularly turbulent time. This one's got a bunch of bonkers stories folks so buckle up and never let off the accelerator.A huge thank-you to Lyn and Mike for their time and stories today!And thanks again to Callum from @kuduhunt for the introduction.-----------------Subscribe to this podcast so you're always up to date.

El pasado 15 y 16 de julio en Bogotá se celebra la primera cumbre del recientemente creado Grupo de La Haya, en el que líderes de varios países de la región y del mundo, buscan medidas diplomáticas que permitan un cese inmediato de hostilidades en Gaza. En el caso de América Latina destaca la participación de Colombia, Honduras, Bolivia y Cuba, naciones que desde el pasado mes de enero, además de denunciar y condenar la ofensiva israelí en territorios gazatíes, busca frenar el suministro de armas a Israel, al mismo tiempo de hacer cumplir las órdenes de arresto emitidas por la Corte Penal Internacional contra Benjamín Netanyahu por crímenes de guerra. Cabe destacar que este grupo está compuesto también por Malasia, Namibia, Senegal y Sudáfrica naciones que advierten de la gravedad de las masivas "violaciones del derecho internacional" en la gestión de este sangriento conflicto.Si bien se trata de una iniciativa de países pertenecientes al llamado "Sur Global" cuenta con el respaldo de otras cancillerías a nivel mundial, sin embargo la declaración final del encuentro tuvo importantes ausencias como la de China, Brasil, Chile, Argelia y Egipto. En el caso de Colombia, el énfasis puesto por el Presidente Petro y su Cancillería, busca en buena medida un gesto simbólico con el que distrae la atención de las profundas tensiones políticas que afronta su mandato a nivel doméstico, como lo hemos examinado en Mirada Semanal en episodios anteriores. En este contexto, resulta interesante preguntarnos ¿cuál será el alcance real de este Grupo de La Haya en este conflicto? ¿qué rol desarrollarán los países latinoamericanos, especialmente gobiernos de inocultable talante autoritario como Cuba, Honduras o Bolivia?Analistas:Manuel Alcántara SáezMaría Puerta RieraEdición y Conducción:Xavier Rodríguez Franco

Episode overview: Andrew Hall faces a unique challenge: building profitable telecommunications infrastructure across one of Africa's largest countries with one of its smallest populations. As managing director of Paratus Namibia, Hall oversees operations spanning vast distances where traditional business models struggle to pencil out. Andile Masuku invites Hall to share on the realities of building networks where "you'll see three fibres running next to the road" instead of shared infrastructure, why COVID accelerated their consumer business, and how recent oil discoveries are reshaping Namibia's economic landscape. Key insights: - On geographic challenges: Namibia's vast distances and sparse population create unique infrastructure economics where covering remote areas requires careful return-on-investment calculations across extended payback periods. - On competitive landscape: Operating alongside two state-owned enterprises creates complex market dynamics where regulatory considerations and different organisational mandates influence infrastructure deployment strategies. - On infrastructure sharing: Despite logical benefits, competitive dynamics often result in duplicated infrastructure: "three towers standing next to each other" rather than collaborative deployment approaches. - On consumer versus enterprise: Traditional enterprise focus (75% of business) provided stability, but consumer growth since 2016 now drives expansion, particularly accelerated during COVID-19 periods. - On technology transitions: Moving from WiMAX limitations (4-10 Mbps) to fibre required strategic timing; balancing asset sweating against customer retention as bandwidth demands increased around 2018. Notable moments: 1. Hall's description of infrastructure redundancy: "If you drive down the road, you'll see three fibres running next to the road. If you're driving from one town to the other, you'll see two or three towers standing next to each other" 2. The COVID-19 catalyst: Consumer business performed "very, very well" as people became "100% reliant, work-wise, education-wise, entertainment-wise on connectivity" 3. Recent oil discoveries creating positive economic outlook with increased foreign investment interest and improved business confidence The development question: Hall addresses the expectation that telecoms should "unlock growth economically for an entire nation" by emphasising education as the foundation. Paratus's corporate social responsibility focuses on educational sector connectivity because "for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." His perspective reflects broader African infrastructure challenges: balancing commercial sustainability with development impact, managing investor expectations whilst serving diverse stakeholder needs, and building institutional capacity in environments with limited technical specialisation. "I think access to the internet plays a crucial role. And I think it starts at grass root level in the form of education... for children to have access to the internet, it makes the world a lot smaller." Image credit: Paratus Namibia

Interview with Andre Liebenberg, Executive Director & CEO of Yellow Cake PLCOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/slow-supply-fast-demand-uraniums-new-investment-reality-7136Recording date: 7th July 2025Yellow Cake presents a compelling pure-play uranium investment opportunity positioned to capitalize on structural supply-demand imbalances in the global uranium market. The London-listed company holds approximately 22 million pounds of physical uranium stored primarily in Canada and France, providing direct exposure to uranium price appreciation without operational mining risks.The investment thesis centers on a fundamental supply deficit that is expected to persist for 3-5 years. Current global uranium production delivers approximately 165 million pounds annually against demand of 180 million pounds and rising, creating an immediate gap of 15 million pounds that is projected to widen as nuclear capacity expansion accelerates globally. China alone is constructing 26-28 reactors simultaneously, while technology companies increasingly turn to nuclear power for reliable, clean electricity to power data centers and artificial intelligence operations.Technology sector involvement represents a transformative catalyst for uranium demand. Amazon's $20 billion commitment to data center complexes alone represents half the market capitalization of the entire uranium sector, highlighting the scale of capital these companies are willing to deploy for energy security. As CEO Andre Liebenberg notes, "If a tech company had to put 20 billion dollars into the mining space, you could build a pretty big project for that." This suggests technology companies possess sufficient resources to directly address supply constraints through upstream investments if fuel security becomes a constraint to their operations.Supply-side constraints appear particularly acute given the limited number of producing jurisdictions. Five countries produce 90% of global uranium, with Kazakhstan accounting for approximately half of world production. Much of this flows to China and Russia, creating a "bifurcated market" where Western utilities face increasing competition for uranium supplies. As Liebenberg explains, "Kazakhstan, half their material goes to China. If you include Russia, it's probably closer to 2/3. Namibia, the two operating mines in Namibia are both owned by the Chinese that goes to China."Critical inventory depletion adds urgency to the supply situation. US utilities now hold approximately two years or less of uranium reserves against an 18-24 month fuel cycle, representing what Liebenberg characterizes as "the low point of their infantry." This follows nearly a decade of utilities contracting below consumption levels, a practice that cannot continue indefinitely. The eventual resumption of utility contracting represents a key catalyst for uranium price appreciation.Yellow Cake's strategic positioning provides multiple competitive advantages. The company's agreement with Kazatomprom allows $100 million annual uranium acquisitions at spot prices through 2027, providing assured access to supply in an increasingly thin market. As Liebenberg observes, "With the spot market today, you saw Sprott raise $200 million and the spot market popped $7 without them spending a penny. It's a very thin and liquid market. So $100 million volume will move the price."The company's track record demonstrates strategy effectiveness. Yellow Cake raised $200 million at IPO when uranium traded at $21 per pound and has grown to over $1.5 billion in market capitalization with uranium at $76 per pound. Liebenberg expresses confidence in continued appreciation: "I'm still of the belief that we could see a doubling in the uranium price. We're sort of partway through that journey."Government policy support for nuclear expansion, including the World Bank's decision to resume nuclear project funding and support from 14 major banks for tripling nuclear capacity, creates favorable regulatory tailwinds. Small modular reactor development adds another demand catalyst, with commercial operation possible by the end of the decade.Yellow Cake PLC offers investors direct uranium exposure through a transparent, risk-controlled business model positioned to benefit from structural supply-demand imbalances and technology sector-driven demand growth over the next 3-5 years.View Yellow Cake's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/yellow-cake-plcSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Things change when a community comes together. We see this time and time again in our neighborhoods, cities, and country. And this very same principle applies to telling others about Jesus. We're stronger together. In Namibia, Africa, this is happening all across the country. But I'd love to share with you an example of the local churches. They came together for an evangelism training event for children's workers, where they taught Hope For Kids, a program that disciples children to share their faith. And then, they took it back to their churches and started implementing it. And children in the community's lives started to change. And through that, the community started to change. This was all because Christians like you and me decided to come together and make an impact. And these believers were part of over 4 million children hearing the Gospel this past year worldwide. And we praise God for that! For more on how you can learn to share your faith, visit sharelife.today.

Una ola de calor azota a Europa estos días con temperaturas que superan los 40°C a la sombra. En Francia, esta canícula coincide con la entrada en vigor de un decreto que obliga a las empresas a proteger mejor a sus empleados de los efectos del calor. Después de España e Italia, Francia se suma a la lista de países que implementan nuevas medidas para prevenir el estrés térmico en el trabajo. El nuevo decreto entró en vigor justo en plena ola de calor en Europa, con temperaturas que superan los 40°C en varios países, y es una respuesta a la nueva realidad climática francesa, justificó la ministra de Trabajo. Desde el año 2000, la frecuencia de las olas de calor se ha duplicado en Francia. Y esta tendencia se agravará si el calentamiento global sigue su trayectoria actual. Desde el 1° de julio, las empresas tienen la obligación de mitigar los riesgos durante las olas de calor con una serie de medidas que incluyen: Cambio de horario laboral Pausas más frecuentes Reducción de la exposición al sol Entrega de 3 litros de agua por día por trabajador. Dichas medidas son bienvenidas, comenta Jean-Pascal François, secretario de la federación de albañiles del sindicato CGT. El sindicalista pide ahora ir más allá y fijar límites precisos de temperatura a partir los de cuales habría que cesar de trabajar. "En caso de que el calor ponga en peligro a los trabajadores, pedimos que las empresas asuman las consecuencias del descanso laboral. Podríamos también desarrollar ropa ventilada como en Japón donde los albañiles tienen chalecos con mini ventiladores. En Catar, país del cual soy muy crítico, evalúan la temperatura, la humedad, los tiempos de pausas. Son cosas que deben inspirarnos”, dijo a RFI. Para medir adecuadamente los riesgos del calor para el cuerpo humano, la temperatura del aire sola no es un criterio insuficiente. Catar por ejemplo utiliza como referencia desde 2021 la temperatura de bulbo húmedo. Un índice que incluye también la radiación solar, la velocidad del viento y la tasa de humedad. Y en Catar, se suspenden las actividades laborales si este índice supera 32.1 grados Celsius. Otros países también como Sudáfrica o Mozambique fijaron límites de temperatura a partir de los cuales se toman medidas como paralizar algunas actividades. “En Túnez, Namibia o isla de Mauricio, se reconocen oficialmente algunas patologías vinculadas al calor como enfermedades profesionales. En Brasil, México, Chile y Costa Rica se han fijado límites de temperatura o se han instaurado medidas de adaptación, como reforzar el monitoreo médico de los trabajadores más expuestos al calor. Muchos países no han fijado umbrales de temperatura, pero sí han impuesto obligaciones a los empleadores para proteger a los trabajadores del calor excesivo”, observa Dafné Papandrea, experta en la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, OIT. Además de la deshidratación, los golpes de calor, la agravación de patologías como hipertensión o enfermedades renales y las enfermedades cardiovasculares son algunos de los riesgos a los que se exponen los trabajadores en caso de calor extremo.

One in three adult pornography users are exposed to violent or abusive content online, with the majority backing new legislation to prevent publication of harmful content. That's according to a survey out today from the British Board of Film Classification. It's also the first meeting today of the Independent Pornography Review Taskforce led by the Conservative peer Baroness Gabby Bertin. Four months on from the publication of her government commissioned review into the challenge of regulating online pornography, Baroness Bertin joins Clare McDonnell in the studio to discuss what's been happening. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said 'we must act now' as he announced a national investigation into maternity care in England. The inquiry, which will look at the ten worst-performing services in the country, as well as the entire maternity system, is designed to be a rapid review reporting by December this year. Families say they feel let down by a system that's supposed to care them and midwives have told us they dread going in to work because of pressures and lack of resources. So will this investigation bring about the lasting change that parents and professionals so badly want? Clare hears from BBC Investigative Journalist Divya Talwar and Clare Walton, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives.Cheetahs are the fastest land animals in the world with speeds of around 70 miles per hour. Over the past 100 years, the cheetah population has drastically reduced by 90 per cent and it's estimated that there are less than 7,000 animals still left. Clare speaks to Dr Laurie Marker, who has made it her mission to ensure their survival. She's the executive director of the Cheetah Conservation Fund based in Namibia. The bullet bra has made a recent return to the catwalk and to the cover of British Vogue, where singer Dua Lipa can be seen sporting a blush satin Miu Miu creation in the July issue. But will the silhouette, once favoured by Marilyn Monroe and Madonna, cut through to the high street? And what does that mean for the comfortable t-shirt bras that have been going strong since lockdown? Julia Hobbs, British Vogue's contributing senior fashion features editor has recently road-tested the bullet bra. She joins Clare to discuss the experience, along with Karolina Laskowska, a lingerie designer and the director of The Underpinnings Museum. Presenter: Clare McDonnell Producer: Andrea Kidd

Have you ever wondered what happens when cutting-edge network technology meets the rugged frontlines of wildlife conservation? In this episode, I sat down with Sophie Maxwell, the driving force behind the Connected Conservation Foundation, to understand how digital infrastructure and real-time data are changing the odds for endangered species and local communities across more than a dozen countries. Sophie walked me through the journey from a desperate battle to protect rhinos in South Africa's Sabi Sand Nature Reserve to a global blueprint now safeguarding elephants, gorillas, and countless other species in landscapes as remote as Namibia and Papua New Guinea. She explained how early experiments with network connectivity, sensors and satellite imagery grew into robust systems that give conservation teams live visibility across vast, rugged reserves — the same technology helping rangers detect poachers before they strike, monitor ecosystem health, and manage human-wildlife conflict more intelligently. This conversation shed light not only on the hardware and software powering this revolution but also on how it uplifts the people living closest to these protected places. Sophie shared how Cisco's Networking Academy is training a new generation of protected area technicians, offering communities meaningful careers that keep vital technology running and wildlife safe. It's a story that flips the usual narrative of technology replacing people and shows instead how it can amplify human impact where it's needed most. Looking ahead, we discussed how advancements in AI and satellite imaging could unlock an even sharper understanding of changing landscapes, climate impacts, and species migration patterns, driving better conservation decisions at scale. For Sophie, what surprises her most isn't just the power of each new tool, but the way combining them turns data into actionable insight, trust and resilience for ecosystems and local people alike. If you've ever doubted that networks and sensors could help save a rhino or an elephant, or questioned whether technology can truly serve nature rather than exploit it, this episode will make you think again. What role do you see for digital innovation in addressing our planet's most urgent environmental challenges? Join the conversation and share your thoughts.
