The World Health Organisation recommends all pregnant women should have at least one ultrasound before six months. However, only half of women do in sub-Saharan Africa. This week we visit Kenya to see how portable ultrasound devices are flagging up any issues early. And how AI could overcome the barrier of not having enough trained midwives on the ground.People Fixing The World from the BBC is about brilliant solutions to the world's problems.

Le phénomène n'est pas nouveau, mais depuis une vingtaine d'années, il est en plein essor : certains groupes en Afrique subsaharienne assurent être des descendants des Tribus perdues d'Israël, exilées vers Koush (la terre des Hébreux en Afrique) ; d'autres se sont identifiés au judaïsme par conviction, parfois par conversion personnelle, s'estimant plus proches de cette religion que du christianisme imposé par la force par le colonisateur.

In This Special Bonus Episode From Christian Parent, Crazy World: What if the greatest gift you give your kids this Christmas is a heart of generosity—and the chance to change someone else’s world? Catherine Segars goes beyond stockings and wrapping paper to tackle one of the most pressing questions for believers during the holiday season: How do we practically teach our children the virtue of generosity, not just for the holidays, but for a lifetime—and in a way that makes a true, eternal difference? Answer: Plant seeds of generosity in your family with Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Gift Catalog, a unique way for families to give gifts that can transform lives around the globe. Browse the catalog and get involved at www.samaritanspurse.org/parent. Catherine welcomes Kristy Graham, host of the On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse podcast and wife to Edward Graham, part of the legacy family behind this renowned global relief ministry. With firsthand experience raising four children and witnessing God’s faithfulness in some of the most challenging corners of the globe, Kristy brings unmatched insight and compassion to this timely discussion. What You’ll Discover in This Episode: Transformative Giving - The Samaritan's Purse Christmas Gift Catalog: Learn how families can open a new kind of catalog—one offering goats, honeybees, water filters, heart surgeries, and more—to provide desperately needed gifts to people across the globe. Real Stories, Real Impact: Kristy recounts emotional, hope-filled stories: families in Iraq whose lives are remade by a simple beehive; a mother shattered by tragedy in need of purpose and dignity, restored by a brood of baby chicks; and the power of a $9 donation to feed a hungry infant and spark the hope of the Gospel for a mother who feels forgotten. Generosity That Changes Hearts—Including Our Own: Discover practical ways to involve your kids in picking out gifts, writing cards for teachers in someone’s honor, or pairing a meaningful donation with something tangible. Biblical Parallels: Kristy and Catherine share how the work of Samaritan’s purse brings to life the stories of Ruth, who gleaned what benevolent benefactors left for those less fortunate, and Hagar, who met the God who saw her need. Seeds of the Gospel: Every gift given through Samaritan’s Purse meets physical needs—and intentionally opens doors for the life-changing message of Christ. Whether it’s a water well, a jar of honey, or a vital medical procedure, these gifts become vehicles for sharing hope and introducing recipients to the God who truly sees them. Call to Action: This Christmas, will your family give a gift that extends beyond your home?Explore life-changing opportunities at samaritanspurse.org/parent as a family, and ask your kids: “How can we be part of God’s story of hope this Christmas?”Let your generosity become a legacy of faith, planting seeds for eternity. Episode Links: Samaritan’s Purse Gift Catalog: www.samaritanspurse.org/parent On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse Podcast Catherine's Resources for Christian Parents About the guest: Kristy Graham hosts On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse, a show she launched in 2019 to highlight God’s faithfulness through the ministry’s work. Each week, she brings listeners close to the stories of staff and the people they serve—always pointing hearts to Christ. From missionary doctors in Kenya to military couples in Alaska to families receiving new homes after disasters, Kristy loves witnessing Samaritan’s Purse in action. At home, she and her husband, Edward, are raising their four children in the mountains of North Carolina. Parents, what new tradition will you start this year to show your children the joy—and eternal impact—of generosity?

What is the role of the state in supporting transitions and deeper transformations towards a more sustainable world?  Brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. The role of the state in supporting shifts towards a more sustainable society is receiving increasing academic and policy attention from interest in green (new) deals to planet politics through to more critical attention to the ecocidal and extractivist nature of states. Despite this, the focus often starts and (frequently) ends with the governance of transitions, where the state is merely one actor among many and the tensions and contradictions between the range of roles it simultaneously performs are often left under-analysed. The state is often caricatured variously in political debate as too big, too powerful, too small, too inefficient, too ineffective or too unsustainable. But the reality is more complex, nuanced and contingent on the historical and geographical context, prevailing social relations and the state function and issue in question. States of Transition: From Governing the Environment to Transforming Society (Cambridge UP, 2025) takes a deep dive into the multiple roles states are playing in supporting transitions to a more sustainable world, exploring where there is scope for their transformation. Going beyond unhelpful binaries which cast the state as the central problem or the all-encompassing solution to ecological and social crises, it explores diverse current state practice across key domains from the military and democratic state to the welfare, entrepreneurial industrial and global state. To do this, it builds on theoretical resources from a range of disciplines, as befits the challenge of making sense of these diverse aspects of state power. It moves beyond existing analysis of the ‘environmental state' and normative projections around the form a ‘green state' might take, in order to explore scope for a ‘transition state' to emerge, capable of corralling and transforming all aspects of state power behind the goal of responding to the existential threat of planetary collapse. Peter Newell is a Professor of International Relations at the University of Sussex. He is a specialist in the politics and political economy of environment and development. For more than 25 years he has conducted research, consultancy and advisory work on issues of climate change and energy, agricultural biotechnology, corporate accountability and trade policy working in a number of countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Mexico and South Africa. In recent years his research has mainly focussed on the political economy of carbon markets and low carbon energy transitions. Pauline Heinrichs is a Lecturer in War Studies (Climate and Energy) at King's College London.

She currently holds a British Academy Knowledge Frontiers Grant working on critical actuarial science and climate justice. Pauline has worked with and led international teams in conflict and post-conflict countries such as Ukraine and the Baltic States, leading on qualitative methods and strategic narrative analysis.

What is the role of the state in supporting transitions and deeper transformations towards a more sustainable world?  Brought to you by the BISA Environment and Climate Politics Working Group. The role of the state in supporting shifts towards a more sustainable society is receiving increasing academic and policy attention from interest in green (new) deals to planet politics through to more critical attention to the ecocidal and extractivist nature of states. Despite this, the focus often starts and (frequently) ends with the governance of transitions, where the state is merely one actor among many and the tensions and contradictions between the range of roles it simultaneously performs are often left under-analysed. The state is often caricatured variously in political debate as too big, too powerful, too small, too inefficient, too ineffective or too unsustainable. But the reality is more complex, nuanced and contingent on the historical and geographical context, prevailing social relations and the state function and issue in question. States of Transition: From Governing the Environment to Transforming Society (Cambridge UP, 2025) takes a deep dive into the multiple roles states are playing in supporting transitions to a more sustainable world, exploring where there is scope for their transformation. Going beyond unhelpful binaries which cast the state as the central problem or the all-encompassing solution to ecological and social crises, it explores diverse current state practice across key domains from the military and democratic state to the welfare, entrepreneurial industrial and global state. To do this, it builds on theoretical resources from a range of disciplines, as befits the challenge of making sense of these diverse aspects of state power. It moves beyond existing analysis of the ‘environmental state' and normative projections around the form a ‘green state' might take, in order to explore scope for a ‘transition state' to emerge, capable of corralling and transforming all aspects of state power behind the goal of responding to the existential threat of planetary collapse.

Hamida Dakane says she was "disappointed" but "not surprised" by President Donald Trump's comments insulting Somalians and calling on them to leave the country. But it hurt.  "You know, this comment, it hits deeply on personal level, and what makes it worse is it's coming from the president of the free world," she said. "It's not just offensive. It is dehumanizing. It shakes your sense of belonging. Even if you lived here 5 days or decades, you call America or Minnesota or North Dakota home, and then the people who represent you demonize you to the point that they call you garbage. It's just very hurtful." Dakane, who was born in Kenya and is of Somali heritage, is a former state lawmaker who represented Fargo-area District 10 as the first black woman, and first Muslim, elected to that chamber. She's a Democrat, but pointed out that many Somali's vote for Republicans, and cast their ballots for Donald Trump. She was defeated for re-election in the 2024 election cycle by Rep. Jared Hendrix, who is an outspoken Trump supporter but ran a campaign focused on outreach to the Somali and larger immigrant communities. She said this situation Trump has created has hit particularly hard on children. "Kids will ask you 'why are we called garbage,'" she said.  "They know this as their home," she continued, pointing out that many of them were born in America, "and they're being called garbage. They question and they ask, 'where are we going to go? Where is our home if America is not our home?'" Dakane praised North Dakota and Minnesota as a region that has welcomed her people. She came to North Dakota alone to attend North Dakota State University, and chose to stay because "North Dakota has been good to me and the neighbors have been good." Still, Dakane says her community isn't looking for victimhood. "I personally, I refuse to let those words define who we are or who the community is," she said. "And we are not victims. We are visionaries. Not the president calling them garbage or any other person just hating on them will stop them. They will keep being visionaries and not victims."

This special day reminds us that true freedom also comes from within. Today's message highlights a powerful truth from Scripture: godliness with contentment is great gain. In a nation battling corruption and comparison, contentment becomes a quiet but strong antidote, shaping our character, our institutions, and our future. Be encouraged, be grateful, and celebrate God's faithfulness to Kenya. #TheAntidoteToCorruption #JamhuriDay #CITAMChurchOnline #ChurchEverydayGet in touch with us:http://www.citam.org/churchonline@citam.org(+254) 784 277 277(+254) 728 221 221

Disney is investing $1bn in OpenAI, letting fans create AI-generated videos with its characters. But what will the deal mean for the future of entertainment? We hear from people across the creative industry.Tickets for next year's World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico have gone on sale but fans say the prices are “extortionate.”In Kenya, a court has frozen a multibillion-dollar US health deal over data-privacy concerns.And Mexico is hitting China with a wave of new tariffs.

Good morning, This time yesterday I was sitting in a cosy barn in the Chilterns, surrounded by a herd of goats and a surprisingly well-mannered donkey. A friend had kindly loaned me his farm to broadcast a live nativity to forty thousand primary school children across the country. During the broadcast, we linked up with Kakuma Refugee camp in northern Kenya. Ajok, a 17-year-old from Sudan, explained what life was like for her there. She told us that her camp houses 200,000 refugees, and that each day she walks 5 kilometres to get to school, where she learns in a class of 130 students. When she gets home, she has to beg for food so her family can eat one meal a day. Despite all the hardship she is a young woman full of hope planning to graduate and become a teacher. A friend at the UNHCR, who runs her refugee camp alongside the World Food Programme and the Kenyan Government, explained to me that, due to international aid cuts, supplies in the camp are severely limited. Ajok's family have been categorised as “low need,” which means they now receive no food assistance. Ajok's Christmas will, sadly, be very different from mine. Yet it is her story that echoes most clearly the grittiness of the first Christmas. Her experience of being displaced is not dissimilar from Mary and Joseph's - who were forced from their home at the worst possible time. Her anxiety over the lack of basic necessities reflects the Holy Family's desperate search for accommodation in Bethlehem. It is no wonder that Jesus identifies with the vulnerable and the outsider. Matthew's gospel records him saying: “For I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you welcomed me.” Many of us miss this central message of hospitality to outsiders in the Christmas story. Some of us get distracted by the superficial, synthetic trappings of the festive season, others by the belief that immigrants are threatening our nation's Christian culture. Both approaches fail to grasp the core of the Christmas story and its call to open our doors, our hearts, and our lives to those who need welcome most. Mary and Joseph welcomed precisely those others would have turned away - humble shepherds and road-weary foreigners, sent to them by God himself. Little did Mary and Joseph know at the time that they too would suddenly find themselves fleeing across the border to Egypt - refugees reliant on the kindness of strangers. This is why, in this time of Advent, it is people like Ajok —those struggling simply to get by who have much to teach us. The nearer we draw to the real Christmas story, the more we see just how the true Christ of Christmas is still breaking down walls, restoring dignity and inspiring generous hospitality.

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Sudan Kusini kufuatilia mradi wa kilimo cha mpunga ulivyoleta ustawi kwa jamii ya katikati mwa Sudan unaofanikishwa kwa msaada wa mafunzo wa walinda amani wa UN kutoka Korea Kusini wanaohudumu katika UNMISS kupitia wanasayansi na wakulima wa eneo la Bor katika. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari na ufafanuzi wa methali.Mapigano makali mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo yamesababisha vifo vya zaidi ya raia 70, kuwafurusha watu zaidi ya 200,000, na kusitisha msaada wa chakula kwa maelfu. Umoja wa Mataifa unasema hali katika Kivu Kusini imezorota kwa kasi, huku msaada wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula WFP ukisimama na shule zaidi ya 30 zikigeuzwa makazi ya dharura. Katika taarifa yake, Naibu Msemaji wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Farhan Haq, amesema hali imefikia kiwango cha hatari, akionya: “Familia zinazoishi kwa njaa sasa zinagawana chakula chao cha mwisho na watu waliokimbia makazi. Hii ni dharura inayovuka mipaka.” UN inazitaka pande zote kusitisha mapigano mara moja na kuruhusu misaada kufika kwa walio hatarini.Mkutano wa kikao cha 7 wa Baraza La Mazingira la Umoja wa Mataifa UNE-7 unaeelekea ukingoni jijini Nairobi Kenya na miongoni mwa washiriki ni kijana mwanaharakati wa mazingira kutoka asasi ya Umoja wa Mataifa YUNA nchini Tanzania Ally MwamzoraNa leo Umoja wa Mataifa unaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Milima, ukisisitiza umuhimu wa milima kama “kitovu cha maji ya dunia.”  Kwa mujibu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la chakula na kilimo FAO, takriban asilimia 70 ya maji safi ya Dunia yamehifadhiwa kama theluji au barafu, yakitoa mito inayosambaza maji ya kunywa, kilimo, viwanda, na umeme wa maji na takriban watu bilioni mbili, ikiwa ni pamoja na jamii nyingi za asili, wanategemea maji ya milima kwa mahitaji yao ya kila siku, maisha, na tamaduni zao.

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.

Près d'un an après le cyclone Chido, qui a dévasté Mayotte le 14 décembre 2024, l'île française veut relancer les échanges avec les pays africains riverains de l'océan Indien. En particulier avec le Kenya qui fut d'un grand secours au lendemain de la catastrophe. Il s'agit d'élargir les débouchés des entreprises de part et d'autre, mais aussi d'améliorer le pouvoir d'achat des Mahorais. Après le passage du cyclone Chido, le Kenya fut l'un des premiers fournisseurs de denrées et de matériaux à Mayotte. Nairobi n'est qu'à deux heures et demie d'avion du territoire français ; le port kényan de Mombassa, à trois jours de bateau du port mahorais de Longoni. Accélérer les liaisons aériennes et maritimes avec le Kenya Et le Kenya veut renforcer ces liens avec Mayotte. « Kenya Airways relie déjà Nairobi à Mayotte tous les deux jours, un vol de passagers, souligne le secrétaire d'État kényan aux Affaires étrangères, Abraham Korir Sing'Oei. Notre intention est d'étendre cette liaison aérienne au fret. Nous aménageons aussi certaines de nos lignes maritimes entre Mombasa et Longoni, à Mayotte, pour accélérer le transport de marchandises, surtout de produits frais, vers ce marché. » Importer des produits moins chers Établir des ponts, daraja en swahili, la langue régionale commune, c'est le but des conventions du même nom que Mayotte a signées avec plusieurs pays africains voisins avant la catastrophe. L'enjeu est encore plus important depuis : faire baisser le coût des approvisionnements (1 milliard d'euros par an), dont plus de la moitié sont toujours expédiés par la métropole, à 8 000 km de là, est urgent. « Ce sont des produits des denrées alimentaires qui viennent de la Métropole, de très loin, rappelle la vice-présidente du conseil départemental de Mayotte, Zamimou Ahamadi, alors qu'on a juste l'Afrique qui est à côté ! Il y a le Kenya, il y a le Mozambique - parce qu'on a déjà une convention avec le Mozambique, Madagascar, les Comores, et on tend à l'étendre à d'autres pays pour pouvoir lutter contre la problématique de la vie chère aujourd'hui à Mayotte. » Pont entre l'Afrique et l'Europe pour le secteur de la tech Les entrepreneurs de Mayotte voient aussi des opportunités dans leur environnement régional, en particulier dans le secteur de la tech. C'est le cas du PDG d'ITH Datacenter, une infrastructure qui a survécu au cyclone. « Quand on a conçu notre projet, on l'a conçu aussi pour s'intégrer dans notre environnement régional, souligne Feyçoil Mouhoussoune. Le niveau de service avait vocation à pouvoir desservir des besoins régionaux. J'étais au Kenya l'année dernière. J'ai rencontré plusieurs opérateurs de data centers. On a une petite valeur ajoutée qui est qu'on est soumis à une réglementation européenne, et dans notre secteur, c'est plutôt un atout. » La suspension du partenariat de l'Union européenne avec le Kenya par la Cour de justice de l'Afrique de l'Est, pourrait cependant ralentir les projets respectifs des entreprises de Mayotte et du Kenya.

Rebuilding Public Confidence In Kenya's Electoral System by Capital FM

The U.S. State Department has signed a bilateral agreement with Kenya, its first in its ongoing efforts to overhaul how it provides global health assistance. The United States said it will invest up to $1.6 billion over five years in the East African country, with the Kenyan government cofinancing the agreement with $850 million. We take a look at how this controversial new approach could play out in practice, and how it could shape other agreements between the U.S. and other African states. On the topic of Kenya, we also dig into the Kenyan government's debt-for-food swap deal with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, worth $1 billion. The innovative arrangement allows the country to reduce part of its external debt in exchange for redirecting the savings into food security programs. The State Department has decided to cut funding to organizations implementing programs to build resilience in chronically food-insecure regions, which will affect the budget of the U.S. government's Food for Peace initiative. We explore the move's implications, including the impact on U.S. farmers. For a deep dive into these stories and others, Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Senior Reporter Sara Jerving and Global Development Reporter Ayenat Mersie for the latest episode of our weekly podcast series. To mark Human Rights Day, Amazon's director of human rights and social impact talks about Amazon's human rights work, the systemic challenges facing global supply chains, and the role of responsible innovation in addressing them in the sponsored segment of the discussion.

In this unforgettable episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Pastor Doug and Rabbi Pesach sit down with Dr. Michael Brawan of Kenya and Rev. Adam Hajj Muhammad of Somalia, a former imam whose decision to follow Jesus cost him almost everything. Adam describes his childhood in a radically devout Muslim family, his rise as a respected Islamic judge and mosque builder, and the moment a divine encounter shattered everything he thought he knew. From that point on, his life became a dangerous walk of faith.  Adam shares how his public declaration of Christian faith triggered a violent backlash: his mother and wives were murdered, early converts were slaughtered, and there was a price on his head. Dr. Brawan recounts the extraordinary rescue operation that smuggled Adam out of Somalia in a coffin, and Adam explains why he later chose to return and plant underground churches despite the constant threat of torture and death. Recorded in Jerusalem while leading an African Christian delegation through Israel, this conversation shines a piercing light on the brutal persecution of Christians in Africa — and on the kind of courageous faith that refuses to back down.

From incestuous wasps and prehistoric forests to sacred enlightenment, revolutionary resistance, and a certain square-shaped snack aisle icon - what if the fig is the most powerful fruit in human history? Join John and Patrick as they trace the astonishing 80-million-year saga of the fig: its ancient pact with tiny wasps, its role in shaping ecosystems, feeding early humans, inspiring gods and emperors, fueling revolutions in Kenya, and conquering America as the mighty Fig Newton. Was the fig humanity's first domesticated plant? Did it help build civilizations, religions, and even our own hands? And how did one strange fruit manage to bridge myth, medicine, empire, and mass production? This is the epic, unexpected history of the fig - one of the most extraordinary stories nature ever wrote.----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

【主播的话】过去几年，我们的生活里已经不可避免地被AI所包围。AI 的迅猛发展在给人类工作和生活带来便利的同时，也给人类带来了很多焦虑。许多这些焦虑也是围绕着我们对自己，以及和这个世界的关系展开的。每个人在面对新科技发展时，都有不同的应对机制；过去几年做科技报道的经历让我意识到要了解一个新技术的优点与局限，它的潜在不公正与威胁。首先要了解它是如何被制造出来的？在这个制造环节中涉及了哪些不同的人群，价值判断和链条等。这期节目我们与研究劳动社会学的学者根据《投喂AI：人工智能产业的全球底层工人纪实》一书的研究深入探讨了在制造 AI 这一庞大的生产链条当中，那些为 AI 不断提供养分的人群——他们是怎样一群人，如何生活，又在追求怎样的工作目标？我们也聊了聊，在当今工作环境下，burnout（工作倦怠）到底是怎么一回事，为什么值得每个人警惕。这期节目或许会对你了解 AI 提供一些不同的视角。【本期主播】若含：小红书@若含【本期嘉宾】吴桐雨： 俄勒冈大学社会学博士，现任浙江大学社会学系百人计划研究员。其研究兴趣包括劳动社会学、技术社会学、性别研究，长期关注中美科技产业与人工智能数据产业的生产组织方式。【本期剧透】02:02 投喂 AI 的人类：一场被忽视的全球劳动04:18 AI 是中立的吗？是谁在背后“设计偏见”？08:22 AI 带来的信息鸿沟，信息认知差距呈指数增长11:17 冰岛引入 AI 数据中心后，一年耗水量翻 3 倍，AI 如何吞噬自然资源？14:16 中国 AI 数据标注工人都是谁？ta 们又如何工作？24:11 不同 AI 工具是否真的有文化差异？差异又从何而来？29:33 谁在塑造硅谷？并不是你以为的技术宅们34:29 硅谷如何用玩游戏的方式调动工程师主体性，又如何让人耗竭40:15 AI 会让我们摆脱狗屁工作吗？47:18 什么工作是 AI 替代不了的？49:32 全球分工加速，新的 “北方—南方” 技术结构出现52:00 性别与算法：偏见如何被写入未来55:00 技术洪流之下，我们能做的微小行动【相关阅读】《投喂 AI：人工智能产业的全球底层工人纪实》英文书名：Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labor Powering A.I.作者：James Muldoon、Mark Graham、Callum Cant译者：贾青青、牟一凡出版社：中信出版社（中信·万物）出版日期（中文版）：2025年9月 本书以跨六大洲、多国田野调查与超过两百名数字劳工访谈为基础，揭示了人工智能背后那群“隐形的人类”：数据标注员、内容审核员、影像清洗工、合同工、临时工……他们负责让 AI“看懂图像”“理解语言”“识别暴力和色情内容”，却往往处于低薪、心理高压、劳动权益缺失的生存状态。书中用 Kenya、乌干达、菲律宾、爱尔兰、英国等地的真实案例，呈现全球 AI 产业链如何在“高科技乌托邦”的外壳下，以廉价劳动力支撑起机器学习的运转。本书打破“智能自动化”的幻象，显示“AI 的智能 = 全球南方 + 全球底层劳动的大规模输入”，是理解技术伦理、数字资本主义和全球劳动不平等的重要读物。《牛马游戏：硅谷大厂如何驯服工程师》作者：吴桐雨译者：刘睿睿、潘竹涛出版社：光启书局出版日期：2025年8月本书以民族志与田野调查的方法深入硅谷和全球科技公司，揭露了在“自由文化”“创新天堂”和“高薪体面工作”外衣之下，科技大厂如何通过游戏化机制（gamification） 把工程师变成“在游乐场里打工的知识牛马”。从把任务拆成“关卡”、把加班 gamify 成“冲榜”、到把激励制度包装成“游戏奖励”，书中揭示了劳动如何在新自由主义语境中被吸收进一种“自愿剥削”的循环里。程序员的激情、爱好与创意被系统化利用，而权力结构则被游戏化叙事所掩盖。本书不仅是对科技劳动的深度研究，也为理解现代职场“热爱式剥削”、互联网公司文化、与数字资本主义提供了关键视角，是一部极具冲击力与现实意义的科技社会学著作。《Lean In：向前一步》英文书名：Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead作者：Sheryl Sandberg（Nell Scovell 合著）出版社：Knopf（英文原版）出版日期：2013年3月《Lean In》是全球影响力最大的职场女性主义著作之一。作者 Sheryl Sandberg 以其在 Facebook / Google 的高管经历为基础，结合大量学术研究与职场访谈，剖析了女性在晋升中面对的结构性障碍（性别偏见、文化期待） 与心理性障碍（自我怀疑、自我设限）。书中提出“坐到桌边”（Sit at the table）、“让伴侣成为完全意义上的伙伴”等核心观点，推动了关于领导力、家庭分工、职场文化与性别平等的全球讨论。社交网络 The Social Network (2010)导演: 大卫·芬奇编剧: 艾伦·索金 / 本·麦兹里奇制片国家/地区: 美国上映日期: 2010年片长: 120 分钟2003年秋，哈佛大学。恃才放旷的天才学生马克·扎克伯格（Jesse Eisenberg 饰）被女友甩掉，愤怒之际，马克利用黑客手段入侵了学校的系统，盗取了校内所有漂亮女生的资料，并制作名为“Facemash”的网站供同学们对辣妹评分。他的举动引起了轰动，一度令哈佛服务器几近崩溃，马克因此遭到校方的惩罚。正所谓因祸得福，马克的举动引起了温克莱沃斯兄弟的注意，他们邀请马克加入团队，共同建立一个社交网站。与此同时，马克也建立了日后名声大噪的“Facebook”。经过一番努力，Facebook的名气越来越大，马克的财富与日俱增。然而各种麻烦与是非接踵而来，昔日的好友也反目成仇……《The Internet Galaxy: Reflections on the Internet, Business, and Society》作者：Manuel Castells出版社：Oxford University Press出版日期：2002 年曼努埃尔·卡斯特尔斯是全球信息时代的顶尖思想家之一。《经济学人》称他为“网络空间的首位重要哲学家”。卡斯特尔斯认为，我们正“以全速进入互联网银河，处于信息迷茫之中”。本书旨在帮助我们理解互联网的起源及其影响，涵盖工作、政治、规划与发展、媒体、隐私、社交以及家庭生活等各方面。我们正处于新网络社会的起点。书中详细阐述了互联网的巨大解放潜力，同时也揭示了其可能导致的边缘化和排斥那些无法上网群体的风险。《Custodians of the Internet: Platforms, Content Moderation, and the Hidden Decisions That Shape Social Media》作者：Tarleton Gillespie出版社：Yale University Press出版日期：2018 年大多数用户希望他们的推特动态、脸书主页和YouTube评论区不受骚扰和色情内容的干扰。无论是面对“假新闻”还是直播暴力，“内容审核员”——负责审查或推广用户发布的内容——的重要性前所未有。尤其当社交媒体平台用以遏制巨魔行为、禁止仇恨言论和审查色情的工具，也可能让你必须听到的声音被无声封锁时，这一现象更为显著。在这本深刻而细致的书中，获奖社会学家兼文化观察者塔尔顿·吉莱斯皮概述了当前社交媒体的运作方式，并解释了这些政策何时、为何以及如何被执行的背后理由。吉莱斯皮指出，内容审核虽然影响社会规范、公共话语、文化生产和社会结构，却很少受到公众监督。基于对内容审核员、创作者和用户的访谈，这本通俗易懂、极具时效性的著作，是每一个点击过“点赞”或“转发”的人必读之作。《Work's Intimacy》作者：Melissa Gregg出版社：Polity Press出版日期：2011 年本书研究现代工作如何侵入我们的私人生活，以及这种“亲密化”（intimacy）的边界模糊如何成为 Burnout（职业倦怠）的核心诱因。作者格雷格通过广泛研究发现，新媒体技术加剧了有薪专业人士将工作置于日常生活核心的长期倾向，往往以牺牲亲密关系和个人满足感为代价。从手机到笔记本电脑和平板电脑，这些新媒体设备被宣传为让人们能够自由选择工作时间和地点，但对此变革带来的后果关注甚少。随着工作场所从办公室扩展到咖啡馆、火车、起居室、餐厅甚至卧室，这种“职业存在渗透”使得工作事务以新的、意想不到的方式侵入员工的私人生活。《The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World》作者：Allison J. Pugh出版社：Princeton University Press出版日期：2024 年本书探讨了随着人工智能和自动化技术（如自助结账和自动化工厂）的快速发展，未来的工作形态变得极不确定，甚至需要高度人际互动的职业也不再安全。作者通过深入采访和观察涵盖医生、教师、教练、牧师、治疗师、护理人员和理发师等多个职业，提出了“连接性劳动”的概念。这种劳动依赖于同理心、人际接触的自发性以及互相认可彼此的人性。作者指出，连接性劳动面临的威胁不仅来自人工智能和应用程序的发展，还有以利润为驱动而推行的工业化管理逻辑，这些逻辑压缩了员工建立联系的时间，强化了数据和指标优先，推行标准化流程，阻碍了员工真正理解彼此的可能性。书中最后介绍了一些连接性劳动蓬勃发展的组织，提出了构建有效社会结构的实际方法。【本期音乐】Bleu-Komiku【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘（ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信：hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

We're back after our holiday and have a lot to talk about! Kat and Scott have just returned from the US, where part of their trip included attending one of the film festivals screening The Ramba Effect, the documentary about Chile's last circus elephant and beloved late ESB resident, Ramba. We also share how Kenya is doing after the sudden and heartbreaking loss of her companion, Pupy.As the year draws to a close, we turn to our end-of-year fundraiser, which kicked off on GivingTuesday, 2 December. This year's campaign is made up of two parts: the GivingTuesday goal of USD 150,000 (including a USD 75,000 match), and a second year-end goal of another USD 150,000 (with a USD 75,000 match). In total, the combined goal is USD 300,000, with USD 150,000 of that coming from matching donations. This campaign supports the major expansion of the Female Asian Habitat: an additional approximately 200 acres, bringing the total area for the girls to around 280 acres.The new area is one large, undivided landscape with natural vegetation, hills, streams, and endless opportunities for exploration — offering Maia, Rana, Mara, Bambi, and Guillermina even more freedom, choice, and room to heal.*For scale: 280 acres ≈ 1.13 km², or about 159 soccer fields, 212 American football fields, and roughly one-third the size of Central Park in New York City.The next podcast airs on Tuesday, 30.

Reverend Edward Ngaira joined Yates Center's United Methodist Church this summer. Originally from Kenya, Ngaira is now in charge of both the Yates Center and Neosho Falls congregations. In this week's episode of “Registered,” Tim Stauffer talks with Ngaira about what lessons the Christmas story holds for us today, his hopes as he leads his congregations, and the role of the church in society today.

Send us a textWhat happens when a Texas kid with marathon roots drops 60 pounds, moves across continents to mentor young athletes in Kenya, and then turns that purpose into a season-long charge through the Cirque Series? We unpack the full story with McKennon Woltman—complete with chai-fueled mornings, singletrack at altitude, and the lessons that only service and steep terrain can teach.We start with a family tradition of marathoning and the health scare that pushed him to act. That path led to Germany, then into the heart of Kenya's running culture, where daily life is simple, meals are consistent, and training is built on red roads and forest trails around Iten and Kaptegat. McKennan opens up about the ethics of sport—doping access, predatory management, and the realities of poverty—then explains how holistic mentorship (mind, body, spirit) helps athletes chase big dreams without losing themselves. The result is a rare, grounded view of what high performance looks like when anchored in integrity.Then we head stateside, where he maps that foundation onto the Cirque Series: short, steep, technical races that demand weekly readiness and tactical restraint. He breaks down how he learned to race smart—saving legs for the downhill, choosing the right shoes for mixed terrain, and making decisive moves at Targhee's off-trail descents. We also talk culture: why short mountain races are a perfect development path, and how American trail running can build a louder fan experience with lift-access cheering zones, cowbells on ridgelines, and community stoke that rivals Europe.Looking ahead, McKennan shares plans to focus on sub-ultra events in the UTMB ecosystem, race Broken Arrow, and sharpen road speed with a spring marathon as a step toward the 2028 U.S. Olympic Trials standard. If you care about mountain running, athlete development, or simply want to feel the energy of someone who races hard and gives more back, this one hits home.Enjoyed this conversation?

We talk a lot about tree planting, but far less about what happens to all the agricultural and organic waste we burn or dump. That's where biochar comes in. In this episode of The Samuele Tini Show, I'm joined by Luisa Marin, Executive Director of the International Biochar Initiative (IBI). After 25+ years in conservation with organisations like Conservation International and The Nature Conservancy, Luisa moved into carbon project development—and discovered biochar: a carbon‑rich “black sponge” made by pyrolysing crop residues, prunings, manure and other organic waste instead of letting them rot or burn. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… Done well, biochar can: Lock away carbon in soils and materials for hundreds to thousands of years Regenerate soils, boosting water retention, porosity and microbial life Cut fertiliser and irrigation needs for farmers Create new revenue streams through products and carbon credits—especially in the Global South Luisa explains how research suggests biochar could remove up to 6% of global annual emissions—roughly like switching off 800 coal plants for a year—and why just 1 gram of biochar can have the surface area of two tennis courts. She also talks frankly about “good biochar” vs “bad biochar”, the importance of standards and lab tests, and the most common mistake she sees: projects chasing carbon money without proper technical and financial feasibility or patient capital. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… We also hear real examples from Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Latin America, where farmers and communities are already turning waste into value using both industrial and artisanal kilns—with support from NGOs, digital MRV tools and local governments. 9th December Luisa Marin (1)_ot… If you care about climate action, soil health and future markets in the Global South, this episode is a clear, grounded introduction to one of the most powerful—and underrated—tools on the table.

Climate change is no longer unfolding in the background — it is now a major driver of the global food crisis. Heatwaves, droughts, floods and widespread crop failures are disrupting harvests and threatening livelihoods of millions of people, particularly in the world's most vulnerable regions. As the United Nations Environment Assembly meets this week at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, one urgent question comes to the forefront: how can countries strengthen resilience and transform their food systems to withstand a rapidly warming planet?

John Hinderaker of the Power Line Blog joins the show to discuss the Somali Fraud in Minnesota.  Visit the Howie Carr Radio Network website to access columns, podcasts, and other exclusive content.

God is powerfully renewing communities in Kenya through entrepreneurial training that is helping people overcome “poverty of the mind” and begin dreaming, building businesses, and transforming their futures. The speaker witnessed countless stories—like Grace, Pastor Joseph, and his mother Ameena—whose lives and communities have been changed spiritually, economically, and relationally, leading to deep honor and gratitude shown toward the visiting team. All of this points to God doing a “new thing,” preparing hearts much like He did in Scripture, and inviting us to enter the Advent season with fresh openness and awe. #GodIsDoingANewThing #HopeRising #TransformedLives #GlobalKingdomWork #AdventExpectation

What if the greatest gift you give your kids this Christmas is a heart of generosity—and the chance to change someone else’s world? This episode goes beyond stockings and wrapping paper to tackle one of the most pressing questions for believers during the holiday season: How do we practically teach our children the virtue of generosity, not just for the holidays, but for a lifetime—and in a way that makes a true, eternal difference?

"How are the children? How are the cattle? Is it raining?" Filmmaker Jackie Lebo discovered the meaning of this traditional greeting when she and nine other artists explored Turkana, an isolated part of Kenya where the discovery of oil has disrupted pastoral life. Through film, photography and music, she and musicians Elizabeth Korikel and Eddie Grey share the deep cultural roots of art — and highlight the true connectedness of humanity. Hosted on Acast.
