As a child growing up on the shores of Lake Victoria in western Kenya, Washington Yotto Ochieng once watched a plane cross the night sky and told his mother he wished he could travel on it. But he remembers her encouraging him to dream bigger... Today, Washington is a Professor of Engineering at Imperial College London, and President of the Royal Institute of Navigation. Over a career bridging industry and academia, he has helped shape the movement of urban transport; how satellites guide us and locate us; and how governments manage the technologies underpinning so much of modern life. Professor Jim Al-Khalili speaks to Washington about his inspirational upbringing, how reliant we've become on technologies such as GPS, and his work encouraging the next generation of engineers in both the UK and Africa.

Happy Mother's Day! Today, we celebrate the women who have nurtured, led, and loved us. But today is also a special "one-off" bridge message as we transition from our "Unstoppable Acts" series. In 2013, Pastor Tom traveled to Kenya—from the dense urban slums of Kiberra to the lush mountains above Lake Victoria. In this message, he shares a "hidden chapter" of his journey and how it fundamentally shifted his understanding of God's heart for justice, generosity, and compassion. In this message, we explore: The Power of "Womb-Love": Understanding the Hebrew word rakhum (Compassion) and how God uses a mother's heart to describe His own. The Speaking Stick: A lesson from the Maasai warriors on dignity and giving a voice to the silenced. Does it work? Looking at the 2013 study on how child sponsorship creates a lifelong "Solid Rock" of hope. RESOURCES MENTIONED:

Cooperation between China and countries around Lake Victoria is gaining new momentum, driven by a shared need to balance ecological protection with sustainable development. From China's experience in restoring Poyang Lake to community-based projects in East Africa, both sides are exploring practical ways to address environmental challenges while improving livelihoods. How are these efforts translating on the ground, and what do they reveal about the future of China-Africa green cooperation?

They're Destroying Uganda's Forests, And The People Doing It Will Shock YouWhat if the biggest threat to Uganda's future isn't poverty, isn't war, it's the quiet, deliberate destruction of the very trees that keep us alive?In this episode, we sit down with Aldon Walukamba, PR & Communications Strategist at the National Forestry Authority, and what he reveals will leave you speechless, furious, and strangely hopeful, all at once.This is a conversation about trees, about water. Food. Corruption. Survival. And the future your children will inherit.

Denmark made headlines in 2024 as the first country to implement a carbon tax on livestock emissions. The country's ambitious 70% emissions reduction target by 2030 includes agricultural reductions of 55-65%. What makes Denmark's policy truly remarkable isn't the tax itself—it's the 60% tax deduction corresponding to mitigation potential. This signals that Denmark's approach isn't anti-livestock, but rather pro-innovation, explicitly avoiding targets on livestock numbers while incentivizing farmers to adopt technologies and practices that can reduce emissions by up to 40%.The impact of Denmark's inclusive policy-making approach through the tripartite agreement cannot be understated. Ministers, farmer representatives, nature organizations, labor unions, and industry came together to craft comprehensive solutions extending far beyond livestock taxation—encompassing voluntary land reform with full compensation, significant afforestation efforts, biodiversity enhancement, and water protection.Today we are joined by Tobias Gräs, Head of Policy at the Danish Agriculture and Food Council, where he coordinates climate action through the World Farmers' Organization and represents Danish farmers and major European cooperative businesses in Brussels. Fresh from COP 30 in Belém, Brazil, Gräs brings insights from Denmark's pioneering policy implementation and an ambitious $50 million Green Climate Fund project transforming dairy production in Kenya's Lake Victoria region.The Tunza GCF project demonstrates how Denmark's cooperative model can drive change across vastly different contexts. Partnering with FAO and the Green Climate Fund, this five-year initiative received $50 million in funding in 2025. with an additional $10 million loan component from Kenyan banks.The project targets 130 agricultural cooperatives representing 80,000 farmers across six value chains in Kenya's Lake Victoria region: dairy, coffee, tea, poultry, African leafy vegetables, and fruit trees. Kenyan dairy cows in the Lake Victoria region average just three liters per day—with potential to reach seven liters through improved feed and management practices. The project aims to achieve 1.2 million tons of greenhouse gas emission savings by 2030 and 4.3 million tons by 2045.The project's success relies on how farmer-owned cooperatives returning value to farmers through dividends and the provision of technical assistance to cooperatives on climate-efficient practices across value chains.As Denmark prepares to scale its domestic climate policies while simultaneously supporting Kenya's transformation through the Tunza project, we welcome Tobias Gräs to discuss the successes and challenges of translating ambitious climate targets into practical action across radically different farming systems.Send us a text

Interview with Ingo Hofmaier, CFO of Lifezone MetalsOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/lifezone-metals-nyselzm-tanzania-nickel-developer-boosts-resource-by-20-amid-ev-metals-push-6482Recording date: 24th November 2025Lifezone Metals (NYSE:LZM) is positioning its Kabanga nickel project in Tanzania as a strategic Western-aligned alternative to Indonesian supply dominance, following the successful acquisition of BHP's 17% stake through a deferred payment structure. CFO Ingo Hofmaier detailed the company's progress toward a final investment decision (FID) targeted for late 2025, highlighting how decades of exploration work and recent infrastructure improvements have transformed the project's development prospects.The July 2025 feasibility study marked a watershed moment, providing the first public financial analysis of the deposit in its 50-year history. The numbers demonstrate compelling economics: a $1.6 billion after-tax NPV, 23.3% IRR, and 4.5-year payback period, with all-in sustaining costs of $3.36 per pound net of byproduct credits. The deposit contains approximately 50 million tons of reserves at 1.9-2% nickel grades, with valuable copper and cobalt byproducts that position Kabanga in the lower quartile of the global cost curve.Infrastructure improvements have fundamentally de-risked the project. Tanzania's new standard-gauge railway from Dar es Salaam to Lake Victoria addresses historical logistics concerns, while three new hydropower stations provide grid connection with 95-98% availability. These developments eliminate the power and transportation constraints that previously hindered development efforts.Lifezone secured a $60 million bridge facility with Taurus Mining in August 2025, funding execution readiness activities while the company advances project financing discussions. The high-grade nature of the deposit supports a targeted 60/40 debt-to-equity financing structure for the $950 million to $1.2 billion capital requirement. Advanced discussions with the U.S. Development Finance Corporation, European export credit agencies, and Mineral Security Partnership members reflect Western government recognition of Kabanga's strategic importance amid 70-80% Indonesian supply concentration and associated geopolitical concerns.The company's proprietary hydrometallurgical processing technology offers environmental advantages over conventional smelting, eliminating sulfur dioxide emissions while leveraging the ore's 30% sulfur content to avoid purchasing sulfuric acid—a significant cost advantage over Indonesian laterite operations.View Lifezone Metals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/lifezone-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Sarah Davis joined me on the podcast almost two years ago to share her plans to become the first woman to paddle the length of the Nile river.A journey of 6,853km / 4,200mi from the source of the Nile in Rwanda, all the way to Alexandria on the Mediterranean coast in Egypt, at the time we first spoke Sarah had anticipated the expedition would start in January 2018 and take 7 months.So Sarah returns to the podcast this week to share how it unfolded!Spoiler alert!Things didn't all go according to plan and two key decisions meant that Sarah wasn't able to achieve her original goal to paddle the length of the Nile.However, she has become the first woman to lead an expedition along the Nile.In this conversation, we discuss:- how she made the decision where to start her expedition; a harder decision with more options than you might think,- what she felt visiting the source of the Nile in Rwanda after 3+ years of planning,- the very angry hippo tried to flip and then bite a hole in their inflatable raft just 6 days into the expedition,- how she was arrested and detained for 3 days in Burundi,- the point at which she (and her team) decided to catch a ferry on Lake Victoria which meant she wouldn't achieve her original goal to paddle the entire length of the river (and how disconnecting from ego and exploring her ‘why' made the decision somewhat easier),- why she cried in a hotel restaurant the day after she finished her expedition, and- whether the expedition feels like unfinished business.

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a plunge into Piranha 3D (2010), Alexandre Aja's gleefully gory remake of the cult classic. What starts as spring break fun on Lake Victoria quickly turns into a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when prehistoric piranhas are unleashed on unsuspecting partygoers. With over-the-top kills, wild special effects, and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, this film delivers campy chaos that embraces its B-movie roots. We explore the film's outrageous set pieces, its blend of horror and comedy, and whether the 3D gimmick still holds up today. Is it mindless schlock or brilliantly self-aware splatter? Grab your floaties—because the water's not safe in Piranha 3D.   Follow Us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: @horrorhourwiththehannas   Music by Aries Beats - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPpnxLYrzVA⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

A collaboration between Aston University in the UK and RAD Global will help small farmers in East Africa keep food fresher for longer, preventing food waste and improving livelihoods. Working with other partners they have developed pioneering cold storage boxes which can keep food fresh without access to grid electricity. Affordable cold boxes for small farmers in East Africa Whilst working in Uganda, Tim Messeder, founder of UK agricultural development company RAD Global, noticed that small scale fishers in Uganda had a major problem keeping fish fresh. The African country is large, and this causes an issue in keeping fish fresh in the blistering heat after it is caught from Lake Victoria and from various fishponds spread around the country in remote locations. The fishers, many of whom are women, have to transport their catch for up to nine hours during which time their harvest goes off. Surveys across the region reveal that 42% of traders experience fish spoilage due to inadequate cooling, resulting in lost income and increased food insecurity. To help prevent waste Tim drew up a plan for a cool box that could keep fish fresh for up to 48 hours, could be transported on the back of a motorcycle and was affordable to people on very low incomes. He contacted Aston University and between the two they developed his idea into the prototype now known as RADiCool, which aims to extend the safe selling window for fish from 12 to 24 hours. The prototype development was supported by the Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund. The RADiCool system features a lightweight, insulated cold box powered by advanced phase change material (PCM) and integrated internet of things (IoT) technology for real-time temperature and GPS monitoring. The innovative system cools fish from 25°C to refrigeration temperatures within four hours and maintains cold storage conditions for over 24 hours, without additional pre-cooling capacity. Purpose-built to fit on motorbikes - the primary transport mode for rural vendors - RADiCool is practical, scalable, and tailored to first and last mile delivery needs in resource-constrained settings. PCM technology is an environmentally friendly solution for maintaining cooling temperatures. The materials absorb and release energy as they transition from solid to liquid and back again, similar to the process of ice melting and refreezing. These specially designed PCMs can maintain a consistent cold temperature for extended periods without the need for continuous electricity. This makes them particularly suitable for transporting food, medicine, and other temperature-sensitive items in an energy-efficient way. The PCM panels for RADiCool are frozen in solar-powered hubs for later use in precooling and storing the fish at the desired temperature. Tim Messeder said: "RADiCool brings together cutting-edge technology while taking into account the challenging realities of the African context. "We are committed to empowering small-scale traders with sustainable solutions that reduce waste and improve livelihoods." The project's success marks a major step forward in addressing the cold chain gap in Africa's informal food markets. Through field testing and technical iteration, the team has developed a system that can function effectively off-grid, supporting food security and economic resilience in the face of climate and infrastructure challenges. RAD Global and Aston University are now focusing on scaling and commercialisation. Planned next steps include finalising the new special design PCM panels, partnering with manufacturers, expanding field trials, and deploying a pay-per-use business model to increase accessibility. Ongoing collaboration with other partners (ThinkAqua UK, Therma-Inova UK and Dulotrop Uganda) will ensure further staff training, impact evaluation, and long-term sustainability. "RADiCool demonstrates the power of cross-sector innovation in addressing global development challenges," said Dr Ahm...

Tom in for Nick and we start with the news that legendary trainer Peter Easterby passed away yesterday at the age of 95. HIs younger brother Mick joins the show to bring us some wonderful memories of the time he shared with Peter and we are also joined by racing pundit and Peter's friend Jim McGrath who reflects on his incredible achievements over 46 years. Lee Mottershead is today's key contributor and he adds his voice to the debate of how to revive the Derby. Lee then brings us some Royal Ascot news as Economics misses the PrinceOf Wales's Stakes and he also asks whether Falakeyah will indeed go to this weekend's Diane now Lake Victoria misses the Coronation. We are also joined by Richard Hannon who gives us the latest on Rosallion ahead of the Queen Anne as well as a few others to look forward to. Timeform's Dan Barber gives a Derby / Oaks view and also puts some figures on the career of Peter Easterby. Trainer Willie McCreery is along to tell us about the situation at the Curragh where a gallop has closed due to travellers moving in next-door. Plus it's Tuesday so we go around the bloodstock world with Weatherbys and hear from Juddmonte's Simon Mockridge.

Field Of Gold and Lake Victoria produced devastating performances to become Irish Guineas champions over the weekend. Not surprisingly, they are the first main talking points in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Maddy Playle and Liam Headd look back at all the top weekend action and debate whether either of the two Classic winners is worth backing now to follow up at Royal Ascot. The panel also asks why the Curragh looked so quiet for the Guineas festival and assess how Los Angeles, Anmaat, Kalpana, White Birch and Sosie fared in Group 1 prizes that whet the appetite for the months ahead. Following the launch of British racing's new national marketing campaign, Maddy, Liam and Lee give their views on what they have seen so far and then wrap up last week's other major news stories, including the BHA's threat to block racecourses from staging fixtures.

In 1896, construction began on the Uganda Railway starting from Mombasa and cutting west through dense bush, rocky escarpments, swamps, and unfamiliar terrain to the shores of Lake Victoria. The work was gruelling and the men suffered from horrible diseases, lack of food and water and terrible living conditions. And then they began disappearing in the night and soon work ground to a halt completely. But what was causing men to flee into the bush in terror?Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with us on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

Musambwa Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda, is a five-acre rocky outcrop of land five miles from the mainland and is the biggest breeding ground in the world for grey gulls and home to hundreds of other bird species and cobra. Amid the birds, snakes and lizards lives a male only community of fisherman who live by a code of cultural and spiritual practices. Reporter Zawadi Mudbio travels to live among the men of Musambwa to explore their sacred relationship with nature. Although the men have lived this way for generations there is the creeping influence of modernity. Through personal stories and reflections, the deep-seated beliefs that shape the lives of the island's inhabitants are revealed.

Here are a few creatures not talked about in most circles. Beasts like the Agula'aq, a shape shifter that can go from being a killer whale, to running over the ice as a wolf. How about the Dingonuk, living around Lake Victoria, it likes to eat hippos. The Lambton Worm has been with use for hundreds of years, and they even made a movie about it. Find out what's out there...waiting for you.

In this interview, the Water Colors Team chats with special guest Dr. Jordyn Stoll, an accomplished aquatic ecologist with an expertise in algae! Jordyn’s formal interest in aquatic ecology began during her undergraduate work at Cleveland State University, where she helped with research using diatom fossils to understand changes in lake conditions over time. From there, she pursued a PhD at Kent State University, where she studied the effects of various nutrients on algae in the Great Lakes, Lake Victoria in Kenya, and the Cuyahoga River, specifically aimed at better understanding harmful algal blooms. Now as an aquatic ecologist with her own business, she hopes to continue researching and preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species such as Didymosphenia geminata, while also working to improve freshwater habitat through restoration efforts. We are honored to have Jordyn on the show to share her expertise!  Join the discussion on the Water Colors Aquarium Gallery Podcast Listeners Facebook group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/788428861825086/ Enjoying the show?

In this powerful episode, Josh and Sarah welcome Peter Ogik, Executive Director of Source of the Nile Union of Persons with Albinism in Uganda, who shares his personal story and advocacy work.About our guest: Peter Ogik was born and raised on an island in Lake Victoria, Uganda. As the first person with albinism in his community of about 600 people, Peter faced discrimination from birth but was fortunate to have supportive parents who advocated for him, especially in school settings where he initially struggled due to bullying and visual impairments associated with albinism.Key topics discussed:Personal experiences with discrimination: Peter shares how he was called "a thing" rather than a person, and how children were told not to sit near him because of harmful myths.Educational challenges: Teachers initially placed Peter at the back of the classroom despite his visual impairments until his father intervened, leading to improved academic performance.Dangerous misconceptions: Peter survived three kidnapping attempts by those seeking to harvest his body parts for witchcraft, based on the false belief that they bring wealth.Health challenges: Persons with albinism face high risks of skin cancer, with over 90% dying before age 30 without proper protection and care.Women and girls with albinism: They face additional challenges, including sexual violence based on the myth that intercourse with a woman with albinism can cure HIV/AIDS.Advocacy work: Through his organization, Peter works to:Educate communities and change harmful perceptionsProvide mobile skin clinics and sun protectionTrain teachers to better support students with albinismAdvocate for policy changes like tax exemptions on sunscreenSigns of progress: Peter notes how community attitudes are changing, with more persons with albinism now graduating as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and other professionals.International Albinism Awareness Day: This UN-recognized day (celebrated since 2015) has become a powerful platform for education and policy influence in Uganda.Resources mentioned:Source of the Nile Union of Persons with Albinism (SNUPA)Advantage Africa, a partner organization since 2013This episode highlights how education and advocacy can combat deadly superstitions and improve lives for marginalized groups. Peter's message is one of resilience and hope: "I can't wait to see the tomorrow whereby a person will not define me by my appearance, but will define me by my abilities."Source of the Nile Union of Persons with AlbinismAdvantage AfricaInternational Albinism Awareness Day Facebook PageEnd Witch Hunts U.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order stopping USAID projects worldwide, saying he wants overseas spending decisions to align with his election policy to "put America first". USAID is the US government's main overseas aid agency and it administers humanitarian aid programmes on behalf of the US government. It has bases in more than 60 countries and works in dozens of others. However, most of the work on the ground is carried out by other organisations that are contracted and funded by USAID.The vast majority of projects have been abruptly halted. But what has this decision meant for the people who relied on them? From Kenya's Lake Victoria to Nairobi's slums, we explore the profound impact on lives, businesses, and livelihoods.If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: businessdaily@bbc.co.uk Presented and produced by Sam Fenwick(Image: Little boy walking on railroad tracks with Kibera slum in the background.

It's the 1930s. Amarendra Chandra Pandey, the youngest son of an Indian prince, is about to board a train when a man bumps into him. Amarendra feels a prick; he then boards the train, worried about what it portends. Just over a week later, Amarendra is dead—of plague. India had not had a case of plague in a dozen years: Was Amarendra's death natural, or premeditated—perhaps orchestrated by Benoy, his half-brother and competitor for the family riches? The case is the subject of Dan Morrison's book The Poisoner of Bengal: The 1930s Murder That Shocked the World (Juggernaut, 2024), who investigates how an Indian prince was able to get his hands on the plague, the scandalous murder trial that followed, and Benoy's surprising post-independence epilogue. Dan Morrison is an editor at USA TODAY's Washington bureau. His reporting from around the globe has appeared in outlets including National Geographic, the New York Times, BBC News and PRX's The World. He is also the author of The Black Nile (Viking: 2010), an account of his voyage from Lake Victoria to Rosetta, through Uganda, Sudan and Egypt.

In 1857, British explorers Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke led an expedition from Zanzibar to find the source of the Nile River. Despite personal differences, they became the first Europeans to reach Lake Tanganyika in 1858. During the return journey, Speke left Burton and discovered Lake Victoria, which he identified as the Nile's source. Speke's claim was met with skepticism from Burton. In 1860, Speke and James Grant mapped part of Lake Victoria and found the Nile's exit, the Ripon Falls. On the eve of a public debate with Burton, Speke died in a hunting accident in 1864. Speke's discoveries were later confirmed, and he is credited as the first European to reach Lake Victoria and identify it as the Nile's source. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/juliusmanuel/message
