In deze nieuwe aflevering van de Nacht van BNNVARA gaat Bemshi de Visser in gesprek met toekomstonderzoeker en trendwatcher Jeanneke Scholtens van trendbureau Zorro. Een glazen bol heeft ze niet. Wel leest ze elke ochtend vier kranten, op zoek naar de eerste signalen van de toekomst. Dit jaar woont ze met haar gezin op Mauritius, en ze werkt aan een nieuw boek over hoe je zelf aanstekelijk wordt. Een gesprek over het verschil tussen een hype en een trend, waarom je buurman meer invloed heeft dan een influencer, en hoe je hoopvol blijft als de wereld in de fik lijkt te staan.

DESCRIPTION: Brent crude went back through 100 dollars a barrel on 9 September after the United States and Iran started striking each other again, and it was still above 100 dollars nearly two weeks later. Fuel makes up 50 to 55 percent of what it costs FlySafair to operate a flight. Put those two facts together and you have the reason a family of four is looking at the price of flying to Cape Town this long weekend and quietly getting the car keys out instead. Bryan and Ryan take the fuel story apart from the pilot's side of the door. Why Johannesburg has had a jet fuel supply problem of its own since an unplanned shutdown at the Natref refinery in late August, and what tankering actually means when an airline carries extra fuel into Johannesburg so it does not have to fill up there. Why FlySafair calls tankering a last resort, and why the cost of every contingency ends up in your ticket. Whether the surcharges that came in during March ever really went away when oil dipped. And the question everyone is asking: if you are flying in December, should you book now? Then the guys tell their own low-fuel stories, and these are the best fifteen minutes of the episode. Ryan on a Friday night flight to Windhoek early in his airline career, the weather closing in, and a diversion to Gaborone flown right down to reserves. Bryan on a DC-9 to the Seychelles with his father doing the fuel calculations on a whizz wheel, the numbers getting worse and worse, until they realised his dad's watch had stopped. A CRJ out of East London with the nose gear stuck down, held at 15,000 feet and 250 knots, Bloemfontein closed by weather, and a landing in Johannesburg with about 500 kilograms of fuel left. And Ryan in a medevac Hawker coming home from Mauritius into a 160 knot headwind, when the flight computer said fuel remaining at Lanseria: zero. Also this week: a GPS fault that grounded Azul's Embraer E2 fleet in Brazil for three hours, and why pilots are being told to expect GPS not to work. Boeing's 777X certification slipping into 2027 because the engine fix still needs testing. A missile strike on the fuel storage tanks at Riyadh's airport. Qatar Airways calling this war the biggest crisis in its history and cutting back to routes that make money. And the UK's air traffic control system failing for the second time in two weeks. IN THIS EPISODE Oil back above 100 dollars, and what the jet fuel price is doing to airfares. Johannesburg's jet fuel supply squeeze after the Natref refinery shutdown. Tankering explained: what it is, why airlines avoid it, and who pays for it. Fuel is half the cost of a flight, so every surcharge starts there. What a return ticket to George actually costs this weekend, and why Cape Town on FlySafair still looked reasonable. Getting overseas without paying a fortune: the RwandAir route and flying via the UAE. Should you book December flights now? The guys give an honest answer. Ryan's diversion to Gaborone on reserves, and Bryan's DC-9 fuel scare that turned out to be a stopped watch. Landing a CRJ in Johannesburg with 500 kilograms of fuel, and a medevac Hawker showing fuel remaining zero over the Indian Ocean. The Embraer E2 GPS fault, and why GPS can no longer be trusted blindly. Boeing 777X delayed again, the Riyadh airport fuel depot strike, Qatar Airways in crisis, and the UK's second ATC failure in two weeks. I'm Bryan Roseveare. I was an airline captain. I still go to work on the flight deck. It's just a full flight simulator now, and the pilots I train are the ones who fly you around.

Im Chorraum des Magdeburger Domes gibt es seit 1245 eine Statue, die als erste Darstellung eines Afrikaners in der christlichen Kunst des Abendlandes gilt. Sie zeigt den Heiligen Mauritius, der zu den Soldaten der thebäischen Legion um das Jahr 300 nach Christus gehört. Mauritius war der Überlieferung nach römischer Offizier und Anführer der Legion. Die Soldaten dieser Legion waren alle Christen. Aber dann haben sie sich geweigert, den alten Göttern zu opfern und sich an der Verfolgung der Christen zu beteiligen. Daraufhin ließ Kaiser Maximianus zunächst jeden 10. Soldaten umbringen, also die Legion dezimieren. Aber das hat die christlichen Soldaten nicht umgestimmt. Und so wurden am Ende alle Soldaten umgebracht. Die Verehrung dieser Heiligen Soldaten, die ihrem Gewissen gefolgt sind und lieber den Tod auf sich genommen haben, anstatt fremden Göttern zu folgen, begann sehr schnell und es gibt in ganz Europa viele hundert Moritzkirchen und in vielen Städten auch den Mohren im Stadtwappen, wie zum Beispiel in Coburg. Rund um Mauritius – oder Moritzkirchen gab es dann Mohrenstraßen und Apotheken, Cafes und Kneipen mit diesem Namen. In einer spannenden Geschichtsvergessenheit werden neuerdings Mohrenstraßen umbenannt, weil dieser Name angeblich rassistische und diskriminierende Hintergründe hat. Aber das ist nicht so, sondern Menschen haben in früheren Jahrhunderten die Verehrung eines Heiligen in ihr normales Umfeld eingefügt und Straßen und Gassen und Apotheken und so weiter so benannt. Aber dass man sich dieser Legion von Soldaten bis heute erinnert, ist natürlich auch der immer drängenden Frage geschuldet, ob man als Christ in einer Armee dienen darf und das Soldatsein, ein Beruf wie jeder andere sein kann, wenn man weiß, dass es gerade in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Kriege gibt und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, in Kriege verwickelt zu werden näher rückt.Eine Statue in einem Dom und der Gedenktag an einen Heiligen Soldaten, bringt diese Gedanken nach vorn und es ist klug, sich darüber eigene Gedanken zu machen.

Many conversations about development for focus on aid: how much, from whom, and for how long. But aid has never been more than a small part of what pays for a country's development, and in 2025 it fell by 23.1%. The need to rethink our attitude to development has inspired the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition (FDCC). In this week's episode, Alexia Latortue and Radha Rajkotia of FDCC talk to Tim Phillips about its first report,. The report assesses the development challenges of LMICs using a balance sheet approach, with assets on one side and liabilities on the other. Tax revenue, remittances, pension and sovereign wealth funds, trade, natural resources and the skills of the population sit on the asset side. Unsustainable debt, illicit financial flows, poor credit ratings, weak institutions, climate exposure and conflict sit on the other.The idea? Each country focuses on the policies to develop their most important assets, and minimise their most problematic liabilities. They argue that governments and donors alike should stop thinking of developing countries as recipients of aid, and start thinking of them as partners in economic development.The research behind this episode:Future of Development Cooperation Coalition. 2026. "The Development Balance Sheet: Rethinking Development Cooperation from the Ground Up." Published 20 May 2026. Research team: Radha Rajkotia, John Norris and Mma Amara Ekeruche.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, Alexia Latortue, and Radha Rajkotia. 2026. "Rethinking development cooperation: The case for a 'balance sheet' approach." VoxDev Talks (podcast). About the guestsAlexia Latortue is Head of Secretariat of the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and a Distinguished Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for Global Development. She served as Assistant Secretary for International Trade and Development at the US Treasury, where she led work on reforming the multilateral development banks and on using public finance to pull private capital into emerging markets. She was previously Deputy CEO and Managing Director for Corporate Strategy at the Millennium Challenge Corporation, sat on the Executive Committee of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and spent ten years at the World Bank working on financial inclusion, ending as Deputy CEO of CGAP.Radha Rajkotia is Director of Research at the Future of Development Cooperation Coalition and lead researcher on this report. She was Chief Executive Officer of Building Markets and, before that, Chief Research and Policy Officer at Innovations for Poverty Action, running its strategy across 22 countries. She spent eleven years leading the economic recovery and development unit at the International Rescue Committee, on work spanning cash-based relief and job creation in conflict settings. She holds a PhD in Refugee Studies from the University of Sussex, is a Senior Policy Fellow at the Henry Leir Institute at Tufts University, and teaches at Georgetown.Research cited in this episodeThe balance sheet approach. The report sets out assets and liabilities but argues that neither is a checklist. Some entries are country-specific, such as natural resource endowments or exposure to climate risk. Others are structural, such as a sovereign credit rating, which constrains or enables progress regardless of what a government does at home. The point of the exercise is situational awareness before prioritisation, not a universal to-do list.The 30 national development strategies. The research team reviewed the current development strategies of 30 countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. All 30 prioritise economic transformation and human capital. Governance appears as a stand-alone pillar in two-thirds of them. Inequality is a defining element in almost every Latin American strategy and largely absent as an explicit constraint in Africa and Asia. Most countries frame technology as digital economy rather than as AI governance or chip access, which the report reads as a widening sophistication gap.Nigeria and Ethiopia. The report's worked comparison. Ethiopia attracts more than three times Nigeria's foreign direct investment despite being roughly 100 million people smaller. Nigeria has strong tax revenues, considerable pension fund assets, a heavy debt servicing burden and large losses to illicit financial flows. Ethiopia has a narrow tax base and weak compliance, suffers far less from illicit flows, carries a lighter debt service burden and is nonetheless in debt distress.Debt as both asset and liability. Low-income countries spend 18% of government revenue on average servicing foreign debt. Angola, Laos, Bhutan, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, the Bahamas, Tunisia, Zambia, Benin and Senegal each spent more than 30% of tax revenues on debt servicing in 2024. As of 2026, 27 countries face a high risk of debt distress and nine are already in it, the majority of them in Africa. Latortue argues that the problem is the price, tenor and currency of debt rather than debt itself, and that restructuring machinery built around the Paris Club has not kept up with a creditor base that now includes China, Gulf states and a large body of commercial lenders.Credit ratings. Only eight countries across Latin America and Africa hold an investment-grade rating from Moody's, Fitch or S&P. They are Chile, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Botswana and Mauritius. A UNDP analysis cited in the report estimates that flawed ratings have cost African countries as much as $74.5 billion in excess interest and foregone investment, more than the continent's entire net receipt of official development assistance. The African Union is launching its own credit rating agency in 2026.South-South trade. UNCTAD figures in the report put South-South merchandise exports at about $0.5 trillion in 1995 and $6.8 trillion in 2025. Some 57% of developing-country exports now go to other developing markets. Rajkotia points to the Africa Continental Free Trade Area and to Mercosur as existing infrastructure that could support production integration rather than trade agreements alone.Demographics. Africa's working-age population is expected to double by 2050, which the report treats as an asset conditional on policy. By 2050 only 26% of the world's population is projected to live in Europe, North America and China, falling to 18% by 2100.Domestic capital in Africa. Latortue cites more than $4 trillion of assets held across the African continent, a figure that combines central bank reserves, commercial bank assets, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pensions and insurance. Her argument is that moving even a small share of it into productive investment would outweigh anything aid can now do. The report notes that Ghana mandated 5% of its pension fund for venture capital in 2025 and that Mexico legislated for an allowance of up to 30%.Conflict. The one item Latortue places firmly on one side of the ledger. She counts at least 60 live conflicts worldwide. The Peace Research Institute Oslo recorded more conflicts in 2024 than at any point since the Second World War, and more than half of all conflict-affected states now face at least two separate internal conflicts. Development work has a role in keeping the real economy going, she says, but the solutions are political.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe end of aid dependency. W. Gyude Moore argues that the contraction in aid is structural and that governments should use growth diagnostics to decide which offers of assistance to accept and which to turn down.

On this day, 13 September 1943, workers on the Belle Vue Harel sugar estate in Mauritius went on strike demanding a pay increase. After sugar strikes in 1937, the British colonial government set up a conciliation mechanism for industrial disputes. At conciliation, two representatives of the workers agreed to a proposal from the sugar planters to end the dispute, but they did this without consulting the workers they purported to represent. The strikers, who were unhappy with the proposed agreement, therefore kept up the strike.On September 27 over 30 police were sent to the camp, where they confronted around 250 workers, women and children who were armed with sticks and stones. When police attempted to arrest a worker whom they accused of beating a police officer earlier that day, the crowd threw missiles at the police, who then opened fire into the crowd killing four and wounding 16. Those killed were named Kistnasamy Mooneesamy, Moonsamy Moonien, Marday Panapen, and Soondrum Pavatdan, also known as Anjalay Coopen. Coopen, a 32-year-old woman who was pregnant at the time but whose foetus was also killed, subsequently became a powerful symbol to the Mauritian working class movement, and remains so to this day, and there are now various monuments and buildings on the island commemorating her (one of which is pictured).More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7747/belle-vue-harel-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Kapitan Krzysztof Baranowski po raz trzeci samotnie opływa świat. Obecnie jego jacht znajduje się na Mauritiusie, a żeglarz ocenia, że ma za sobą około trzech czwartych całej wyprawy.W rozmowie z Radiem Wnet opowiada o tym, jak przez kilkadziesiąt lat zmieniło się samotne żeglowanie: od nawigacji według słońca i gwiazd do GPS-u, elektronicznych map i systemu AIS. Mówi także o coraz bardziej nieprzewidywalnej pogodzie, huraganach pojawiających się w nowych miejscach, zaśmieceniu oceanów i zaskakująco małej liczbie zwierząt spotykanych na morzu.Kapitan zdradza również, jak wygląda sen samotnego żeglarza, dlaczego portowa biurokracja potrafi być trudniejsza od oceanicznej żeglugi i co sprawia, że mimo sztormów, zmęczenia i samotności po raz kolejny zdecydował się wyruszyć dookoła globu.- Czuje się bliskość nieba, gwiazdy wiszą blisko nad głową - mówi Krzysztof Baranowski.Mauritius jest dla niego nie miejscem wakacji, lecz przystankiem przed kolejnym etapem wyprawy. Po ostatnim sztormie kapitan odpoczywa, przygotowuje jacht i czeka na poprawę warunków.Przed nim Atlantyk.

CCA student Sarah is copywriting 3.5 days/week from Mauritius and here's the thing: That could—and should!—be ALL of us. I don't mean Mauritius (though if you LOVE island living, then ... yeah ...). What I mean is there's absolutely NO reason all of us shouldn't be living the lives we want to live. Yes, there are bills, and kids sports games, and endless laundry loads. But that doesn't mean those can't coexist alongside our biggest, wildest dreams.

What if the greatest mission field in history isn't a remote jungle or a war-torn country — it's the screen in your pocket? Jamie Radtke, CEO and President of ExploreGod, shares how her organization has gone from sharing the gospel 400,000 times a day to over one million times every 24 hours through digital discipleship. You'll discover how a vision born before smartphones became a movement that reaches into Yemen, Afghanistan, and Syria — places traditional missionaries simply cannot go. This conversation will open your eyes to the breathtaking scope of what God is doing on the internet right now, and why the harvest is far bigger than most Christians realize.## About the GuestJamie Radtke is the CEO and President of ExploreGod (formerly Global Media Outreach), a global digital discipleship ministry that has been harnessing the power of the internet to share the gospel for more than twenty-three years. Under her leadership, ExploreGod now shares the gospel over one million times every single day, with thousands of seekers entering discipleship conversations through a worldwide network of online missionaries. Jamie brings a combination of strategic vision and pastoral heart to a movement that is reaching into some of the world's most spiritually inaccessible places — one digital conversation at a time.---## Reasons to Listen1. **The Mission Field Has Moved.** If you've ever felt the call to reach the world but weren't sure where you fit, Jamie reframes the Great Commission in a way that is both spiritually grounding and practically relevant to where most people actually spend their time today.2. **Real Stories, Real Faith.** From a man in Mauritius who surrendered his life to Christ after a divorce, to a former Muslim who now shares the gospel with thousands of other Muslims online, this episode is filled with first-hand accounts of God's unmistakable work in the digital harvest.3. **A Clear On-Ramp to Join the Mission.** Jamie walks through exactly what it looks like to become an online missionary — the training, the time commitment, and the joy of it — so listeners leave with a concrete next step, not just inspiration.---## Big Takeaways1. **The Internet Is a Mission Field.** The most effective missionaries today go where people already are, and billions of people worldwide are spending six to twelve hours a day online — making digital evangelism not an alternative to missions but the frontier of it.2. **Discipleship, Not Just Decisions.** ExploreGod has learned that moving someone from an online gospel presentation to a thriving local faith community takes far longer than most assume, which is why genuine discipleship — walking with a new believer through prayer, Scripture, baptism, and community — is at the heart of their model.3. **Anonymity Creates Openness.** The digital screen removes the tribal, racial, and cultural barriers that often slow in-person witness, allowing seekers to share vulnerably and honestly with an online missionary in ways they might never risk face-to-face.4. **Anyone Can Be a Missionary.** Whether you're a retired grandmother in her living room, a stay-at-home mom between nap times, or a twenty-year-old digital native in Nairobi, ExploreGod has a place for you in the harvest — and the training to get you started.5. **The Harvest Is Accelerating.** In the last five years alone, the pace of gospel response has more than doubled — contact volume has grown from 2,000–4,000 seekers per day to 8,000–10,000 — and Jamie describes it in unmistakable terms: God is doing something extraordinary right now, and the need for more laborers has never been more urgent.---## Missional Challenges1. **Pray for the Digital Harvest This Week.** Set a daily phone alarm for one minute each morning this week, and use that minute to pray specifically for the people around the world who will scroll across a gospel ad today — ask God to open their hearts, connect them to an online missionary, and bring them into lasting faith.2. **Explore Becoming an Online Missionary.** Visit exploregod.com/volunteer and prayerfully read through what volunteering looks like; consider whether you can commit five hours a week to walking with a seeker somewhere in the world, and take one step forward in the application process by the end of this week.3. **Share This Episode With One Person in Your Church.** Think of a friend, a small group leader, or a pastor who has a heart for global mission but doesn't know yet that the frontier has moved online; send them this episode with a personal note about the story that moved you most, and invite them to explore how your church could partner with or pray for ExploreGod.---## Chapters- **0:12** — Introduction- **1:01** — How the Mission Field Has Changed- **4:27** — Go Where the Fish Are- **6:00** — Where the Gospel Is Spreading- **9:22** — How the Digital Ministry Works- **14:25** — Removing Barriers- **16:00** — After a Decision for Christ- **20:25** — Digital + In-Person- **22:25** — Discipleship, Not Just Decisions- **24:25** — Who Can Be an Online Missionary?- **27:05** — Churches and Digital Mission- **30:55** — Transformation Stories- **35:11** — Transcending Borders- **38:07** — ROI of Digital Missions- **40:00** — Becoming an Online Missionary- **42:40** — What Draws People to the Gospel- **46:00** — What Gives Jamie Hope- **47:23** — Fun Questions- **49:55** — Connect and Partner---## Guest Website & Social Media**ExploreGod**- ExploreGod Website: - Volunteer with ExploreGod: - ExploreGod Instagram: - ExploreGod Facebook: #themissionallife #themissionallifepodcast #exploregod #digitalevangelism #onlinemissions #greatcommission #digitaldiscipleship #missionfield #JamieRadtke #christianpodcast

Jeremy Kyle unpacks Andy Burnham first Prime Minister's Questions yesterday and the verdict - lacklustre. Although at times he did appear to answer a question which is a stark improvement on his predecessor. Kemi piles on the pressure today with a fresh vow to slash Britain's ballooning benefits bill to boost defense spending to 3 per cent of GDP. She's piling maximum pressure on the new PM, as experts warn the UK is sitting in a “deeply uncomfortable” fiscal mess ahead of a brutal upcoming Budget! Despite this, we hear Burnham's racing ahead with the controversial Chagos Islands surrender deal, with fresh talks set with Mauritius next week. Here's an idea Mr Burnham, why not scrap the Chagos deal and save us all £35billion. One decision, one massive saving! The PM is being urged to stop getting stitched-up by the French after they promised just a measly 45 extra cops to tackle the illegal boat crossings on the exact same day the famous Bayeux Tapestry is set to cross the Channel. His Majesty the King even chipped in, calling the tapestry loan a symbol of “trust” ha! But conference season has officially begun as Reform UK kick off theirs in Birmingham today. To mark the occasion Nigel Farage has sat down with the BBC and slammed Britain's “complainants' society”.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

With South Africa's premier universities oversubscribed and the cost of popular overseas destinations like the UK, US, Australia, and Canada soaring, families could pivot to highly competitive, cost-effective global alternatives. Sable International's Brent Morris told BizNews in an interview that Mauritius, the UAE, and Malaysia now offer highly attractive degrees, rivalling the total costs of studying at some local South African institutions, such as Stellenbosch. This option is particularly attractive for students pursuing highly sought-after, niche courses such as medicine, psychology, and engineering. Morris said some of these emerging educational hubs hosted fully accredited branch campuses of world-class British and Australian universities, allowing students to earn identical international degrees closer to home. High school leavers and parents seeking more information can attend Sable's upcoming Study Abroad Expo. The expo, featuring representatives from 30 international universities, will be held on 7 September in Johannesburg, 8 September in Durban, and 9 September in Stellenbosch. - Linda van Tilburg

Youngest jockey to win a metropolitan premiership in Australia last season was Tasmania's  27 year old Erica Byrne Burke. Second youngest was 29 year old Ben Thompson who was dominant in winning the Brisbane title.  34 year old James McDonald predictably won the Sydney honours, while 40 year old William Pike claimed yet another Perth premiership. 49 year old Craig Williams was superb in winning his tenth Melbourne title, but it was Adelaide veteran Jason Holder who dominated the headlines by winning his fourth metro premiership at the remarkable age of 50. “Stubby” Holder hasn't been on the podcast for six years. He was happy to join us again to talk about his new lease of life. He says this was the most satisfying of his 4 premiership wins. The popular jockey talks about his good start to the new season. He recalls the origins of his longtime nickname of “Stubby”. Jason talks of three stakes wins last season, one of them on Air Assault. He's won nine races on the Andrew Gluyas trained gelding. Stubby says he's all the better for riding a touch heavier nowadays. The jockey pays tribute to manager Cheree Gask and  talks of his recently adopted relaxation therapy. He talks of partner Ghiann's involvement in the racing industry.    Jason talks of a new business venture launched in collaboration with daughter Paris. He talks of happy days in a popular husky club. While other jockeys were playing golf Stubby was out on the trail with his Siberian huskies. The champion jockey says his initial interest in thoroughbreds was inspired by his mother's passion for racing.   He looks back on a happy apprenticeship to Leon Macdonald and an enduring friendship with the recently retired trainer. He has a funny story about his early participation in Adelaide barrier trials. Jason looks back on his first ride, first winner and maiden city success. The jockey says he was thrilled to win the historic Goodwood Hcp early in his career. He looks back on a memorable feature double on the Colin Alderson trained French Resort in 1996. The Victorian trainer wanted a local jockey and Stubby got the job. Jason looks back on his only Melbourne Cup ride, a third placing on Skybeau. This was the first of the gelding's five Melbourne Cup starts. The multiple premiership winner talks of his SA Derby win on Markham and an opportunity on the same horse in the Caulfield Cup. He thought he was a chance of gaining the Melbourne Cup ride but it was not to be. Holder looks back on his bittersweet four year stay in Queensland  A partnership with Bruce McLachlan brought him a Magic Millions win on Phelan Ready in 2009. A serious Eagle farm race fall later cost him a possible Golden Slipper win on the same horse. He looks back on a series of overseas stints after returning from a four month absence. He enjoyed great success in Mauritius, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. On returning to Adelaide in 2015/2016 he set his sights on a third metro premiership and duly succeeded. Jason browses through a list of his favourite horses. This is a laid back chat with yet another legend from the state that has been producing top jockeys for many decades.

On this day, 14 August 1886 50 women and girls working in the L Candee Rubber Boot Company factory in New Haven, Connecticut, walked out on strike over excessive working temperatures. The New York Times reported that the women: "complained that the heat of the room was unendurable, and insisted that the windows must be opened. The Superintendent refused to open the windows for fear of damage to the stock from a mist which hung over the city. Then the girls picked up their bonnets and left the shop."More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7748/l-candee-rubber-heat-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 13 August 1937, striking workers were massacred at the Union Flacq Sugar Estate in Mauritius. Primarily Indian labourers on sugar plantations on the island, then a British colony, had been organising for better pay, and police were being used to intimidate workers and break strikes.Workers on the Union Flacq estate were unhappy about low pay, poor quality food rations and inadequate hospital treatment. They went on strike, and on August 13, strikers were violently attacked by police, killing four and wounding six.In response to the killings, protesters set fire to sugarcane fields, and protests continued around the island for two weeks. Following a Commission of Enquiry into the incident, the British colonial government legalised labour unions, and set up an official framework for collective bargaining between workers and employers.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7741/mauritius-strike-massacreOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World, Part One: Moss discusses how birds shaped human history, starting with the Wild Turkey, which nearly became America's national bird and was essential to pilgrim survival. The naming of the Turkey stems from 16th-century confusion regarding Turkish merchants and African Guinea Fowl. Moss contrasts the Turkey with the Bald Eagle, a symbol of predatory power adopted from Roman traditions and later by Napoleon and the Nazis. The segment explores the Pigeon, the "great communicator" crucial for military messaging during D-Day and World War I, including the heroic pigeon Cher Ami. A significant portion debunks the myth of Darwin's Finches, noting that Charles Darwin initially misidentified them and failed to label their specific islands. The discussion touches on the intelligence and convergent evolution of Australian species like the Magpie and Willie Wagtail. Finally, the Dodo is introduced as the "icon of extinction." This flightless bird's demise on Mauritius, caused by human-introduced predators like monkeys and rats, forced humanity to confront the reality that species could vanish forever. Moss notes that while the Dodo is gone, its story inspired modern conservation efforts to save birds like the Pink Pigeon and Mauritius Kestrel. (1)

The Dodo: From Evolutionary Isolation to the Icon of Extinction Guest: Stephen Moss Book Title: Ten Birds That Changed the World The dodo serves as the primary icon of extinction, a concept that was incomprehensible to the 17th-century religious mind. Evolving on the predator-free island of Mauritius, the flightless dodo was defenseless when Dutch sailors introduced dogs, rats, and monkeys, leading to its disappearance within 80 years. Moss notes that most museum "dodos" are actually models made of chicken feathers and wire, as contemporaries never thought to preserve a species they believed could never vanish. However, the dodo's tragic fate inspired modern successes, such as Carl Jones'work in the 1970s. By using "double clutching" — taking eggs to force a second laying — Jones saved the Mauritiuskestrel from a population of just a dozen birds. This legacy continues today through efforts to make islands predator-free to protect vulnerable seabirds, proving that the dodo's extinction eventually taught humanity the value of active conservation.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss how, after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, sugar planters recruited workers from India to replace or compete with their formerly enslaved labourers. Over the next 90 years, more than a million people in India travelled under five year contracts of indenture across the empire from Guyana to Trinidad to Mauritius and Fiji and colonies in between. These indentured labourers were to share vivid accounts of deception and abuse, especially in the early decades. From the outset there were critics and opposition gained pace with Gandhi and others in South Africa arguing the system was close to slavery and calling for the Indian government to stop the practice, which was to happen in 1917 with the last shipments of people in the 1920s. Meanwhile, rather than return after their contracts, a section of indentured labourers stayed where they were for their own reasons, negotiating their new identities alongside formerly enslaved people and the planter culture in a new Indian diaspora.With Purba Hossain Lecturer in Modern History at the University of YorkNeha Hui Associate Professor in Economics at the University of ReadingAnd Clem Seecharan Emeritus Professor of History at London Metropolitan UniversityProduced by Simon TillotsonReading list:Gaiutra Bahadur, Coolie Woman: The Odyssey of Indenture (Hurst and Co., 2013)Marina Carter, Servants, Sirdars and Settlers: Indians in Mauritius, 1834-1874 (Oxford University Press, 1995)Marina Carter and Khal Torabully, Coolitude: An Anthology of the Indian Labour Diaspora (Anthem Press, 2002)Jonathan Connolly, Worthy of Freedom: Indenture and Free Labor in the Era of Emancipation (University of Chicago Press, 2024)Maria del Pilar Kaladeen and David Dabydeen (eds.), The Other Windrush: Legacies of Indenture in Britain's Caribbean Empire (Pluto Books, 2021)Neha Hui and Uma S.
