In April 1963, civil rights activist William Lewis Moore set out alone on a 320-mile walk from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Jackson, Mississippi, carrying a letter for segregationist Gov. Ross Barnett. On April 23, the 35-year-old postal worker was found shot to death in northeast Alabama.In this episode of Southern Mysteries, we explore Moore's life beyond his final walk, the family he left behind, the threats and warnings he encountered along the road, the investigation into his killing, and the questions that remain more than 60 years later.

Atomic Eagle CEO Phil Hoskins stated: “Re-establishing our interest in Madaouela represents a transformational outcome for Atomic Eagle significantly increasing our resource base and adding a second advanced uranium project to our project portfolio. Madaouela is a large, high-grade uranium asset supported by an extensive body of historical work, and we see clear opportunities to further define and optimise the Project's development potential. This agreement has been achieved through constructive engagement with the Government of Niger and delivers a strong, commercially balanced outcome following a period of dispute. I would like to thank Niger's Minister of Mines, His Excellency Colonel-Commissioner Abarchi Ousmane and his team for sharing our commitment to finding a mutually beneficial solution to the historical dispute.” Atomic Eagle has agreed terms of a mining convention with the Republic of Niger to re-establish its interest in the Madaouela Uranium Project, which hosts a Mineral Resource of 116.5Mlbs U₃O₈ (Canadian NI43-101 estimate). The addition of the Madaouela Project, alongside a 58.8Mlbs U₃O₈ JORC Mineral Resource at AEU's flagship Muntanga Project in Zambia, establishes a dual-asset uranium development platform with materially increased scale and portfolio depth. Supported by extensive historical drilling and prior technical studies, Madaouela provides a substantial foundation for further evaluation and optimisation, while increasing the Company's flexibility to pursue a range of development, funding and strategic pathways 00:00 Intro 00:33 Madaouela Update 01:11 Negotiations Success 02:55 Ownership Terms 04:38 Valuation Impact 06:11 JORC Conversion Plan 07:59 Two Project Strategy 09:48 Permitting Timeline 10:50 Political Risk 12:46 Cash and Options 13:49 OTCQX Expansion https://atomiceagle.com.au/ ASX: AEU - OTCQB: AEUXF Press Releases Discussed: https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03124575.pdf https://wcsecure.weblink.com.au/pdf/AEU/03124577.pdf Sponsor Atomic Eagle pays MSE a United States dollar ten thousand per month coverage fee.

I have been banging the drum for copper for some time, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Gold has the glamour, but many, including veteran investor Rick Rule, now see the greater opportunity in copper. In summer 2024, I highlighted three copper companies Amerigo Resources (ARG.TO) at around C$1.75 and Arizona Sonoran Copper (ASCU.TO) at C$1.36 and QCCU (QCCU.V) at 12c . Amerigo and Arizona Sonora both hit C$8 on Monday meaning gains of ~350% and ~500%. QCCU, on the other hand, is still at 12c. You can't win them all.Back in May we noted that things were getting a little hot. The metal had just hit fresh highs; there was a plethora of investment bank supercycle notes and social media was full of predictions about imminent shortages. The long-term story is intact but don't chase it, we suggested. Copper tends to be weaker over the summer and some consolidation could give you a better buying opportunity.We got a good opportunity in June but it did not last long, and here we are three months on with copper at ~$6.50/lb a couple of per cent below where we were in May.It doesn't take a genius to work out which way the trend is going in that particular chart. The summer lull has been more of a pause than anything else.Meanwhile, beneath the surface, the fundamental copper story is getting stronger.Copper's problem is not demand. It is supply.We covered the demand side extensively in May. AI needs copper. Data centres need it. Power grids need it. Electric vehicles, rearmament, reindustrialistation, India - they all need copper. This is not the usual China story by the way. If anythign China demand is lacklustre. Its imports of unwrought copper fell 11.5% year-on-year in July and industrial production there has been slowing. But, as RBC notes, the LME copper market had moved into its steepest backwardation since the 2021 squeeze. In other words, buyers are paying substantially more for copper now than for delivery later. That is a classic physical tightness indicator. Antofagasta has cut its 2026 production guidance after problems at Los Pelambres. Codelco has abandoned its 1.34 million tonne production target and now expects to produce less than it did last year.Meanwhile we have BHP's latest results. Copper now accounts for 54% of its earnings (EBITDA). Its copper mines are extraordinarily profitable (70% EBITDA margin). Yet despite the obvious incentive to produce more, BHP's copper production actually fell 3% last year. This is the largest mining company in the world, with some of the best copper assets, engineers and access to capital on the planet. If anyone can turn on the copper taps, so to speak, it should be BHP. Yet it is talking about a “persistent structural deficit” of as much as 10 million tonnes a year next decade. Demand from electrification, digitalisation, data centres and other newer uses, meanwhile, is expected to grow at around 6.5% a year.So it now aims to grow its copper production at ~5% a year, faster than the rest of its business. The requires an extraordinary amount of capital.In a recent video, Merlin Marr-Johnson, CEO of Fitzroy Minerals (FTZ.V) analyses BHP's spending plans using Escondida, the world's largest copper mine, as an example and concludes, “They're spending $5 billion to stand still. And that is the copper industry in a nutshell.”Billions of dollars of investment don't necessarily mean billions of dollars of new production. Mines get older. Grades decline. Pits get deeper. More rock has to be shifted to produce the same amount of metal. Processing plants wear out and have to be replaced. Sometimes you have to spend billions just to stop production falling.Which brings us to Rick Rule.Is copper now a better bet than gold?It could be.Rule argues that “The biggest copper mining companies in the world need to spend $250 billion to maintain current levels of copper production.” Note - to maintain, not increase. Not every one has $250 billion sitting around waiting to be spent. “The copper development boom that we absolutely have to see in the next 10 years will require vast amounts of capital.”“There's nothing that we can do, nothing at all that we can do, to avert a shortage in copper,” he says. As a result, five years from now the copper price will be, “dramatically higher than it is today.”As you know, copper is an important strategic mineral. Citi recently looked at what might happen if countries start building national inventories. Global refined copper inventories, it estimates, currently sit around at around 3 million tonnes, equivalent to just 1.3 months of global consumption. If governments decided they wanted three months instead, they would need need to find another 4 million tonnes of copper.Where does it come from?To be accumulated over two years, Citi calculates, would require the copper price price to rise to over $10/lb to bring enough scrap into the market and destroy enough demand to balance things.That is not a forecast, by the way, it is a scenario. But governments are increasingly treating critical minerals as a matter of national security. The US has proposed a US$12 billion strategic commodities programme, the EU has allocated billions to critical-mineral security and there have been calls in China for increased copper stockpiling.So what do we actually buy?

Dans ce quartier de la capitale, Port-au-Prince, certains riverains qui avaient fui la violence des gangs reviennent chez eux, épuisés par les conditions de vie très difficiles dans les camps de déplacés. Mais la zone n'est pas encore totalement repassée sous le contrôle des forces de sécurité. Des habitants abandonnés face aux gangs Derrière ces retours, se cache une inquiétude majeure : la sécurité. Les habitants disent vouloir retrouver leur quartier, mais réclament d'abord des garanties pour pouvoir y vivre et circuler librement. En l'absence d'un contrôle total de l'État, des brigades d'autodéfense tentent de maintenir une présence dans certaines zones. Les organisations de défense des droits humains alertent sur les risques auxquels s'exposent des habitants qui regagnent une zone où l'autorité de l'État reste limitée. « Le retour des populations déplacées ne constitue pas une victoire sécuritaire. Il s'agit plutôt d'un abandon orchestré. Aujourd'hui, la population qui regagne ces zones fait face à une double menace : d'un côté, la terreur des groupes armés et, de l'autre, les exécutions sommaires qui pourraient être perpétrées lors des opérations de ratissage menées par les forces de l'ordre », craint Darbenski Gilbert, de l'Ordre des défenseurs des droits humains. Chili : craintes de privatisation du géant du cuivre Codelco Ce lundi 10 août 2026, le gouvernement chilien d'extrême-droite a annoncé que pour la première fois de l'histoire du pays, le géant public du cuivre Codelco pourra garder dans ses caisses 100% de ses bénéfices engrangés en 2025, afin de diminuer sa dette de réinvestir cet argent dans l'entreprise. Le chiffre exact du manque à gagner pour le budget du pays n'a pas été dévoilé, mais ces bénéfices s'élevaient à 2,4 milliards de dollars l'an dernier (2025). Le cuivre est la principale richesse du pays (plus de la moitié de ses exportations) et Codelco contribue fortement au budget de l'État. Cette décision intervient deux semaines après qu'Arturo Squella, sénateur et chef de file du Parti Républicain (le parti du président d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast) a dit dans une interview que privatiser l'entreprise publique du cuivre devait être la prochaine étape pour le gouvernement. La déclaration a suscité de nombreuses critiques et a finalement été démentie par le ministre de l'Économie et des Mines. Elle suscite toutefois des craintes chez certains syndicats de mineurs. Codelco est issue de la nationalisation du cuivre décidée sous la présidence du socialiste Salvador Allende, renversé par un coup d'État militaire en 1973. Cette politique était le symbole de la réappropriation par les Chiliens de leurs ressources naturelles, qui devaient contribuer à financer des services publics comme l'école ou la santé.

For generations, the mines of Michigan's Copper Country have been woven into the history of the Lake Superior region. While many of those mines closed decades ago, their stories — and the underground landscapes they created — continue to leave their mark on the communities above them. Today, researchers are combining archaeology, historic records, and emerging technologies to better understand the region's mining history, improve public safety, and explore how these underground landscapes may serve future generations. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with Tim Scarlett, Associate Professor of Archaeology at Michigan Technological University. They explore the challenges of mapping abandoned mines, why understanding these underground landscapes matters, and what they can teach us about the past and perhaps the future.Connect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

Le Gabon, qui fait face à une chute de sa production pétrolière, mise désormais sur l'exploitation minière. Les annonces se sont succédé ces derniers mois, avec des engagements financiers de plusieurs centaines de millions de dollars. Des travaux de recherche et d'exploration sont en cours dans plusieurs provinces du pays et d'ici à 2030, le pays pourrait devenir un des leaders mondiaux de la production des minerais. Avec notre correspondant à Libreville, Sept mois après son arrivée à la tête du ministère des Mines du Gabon, Sosthène Nguema Nguema dit sentir un frémissement en passe de faire de l'exploitation minière le nouveau moteur de l'économie gabonaise actuellement dépendante des recettes pétrolières. « Nous avons identifié et fait une programmation par rapport à l'ouverture de plusieurs mines entre 2026 et 2030. Dans cette fourchette, il a été identifié à peu près huit mines qui pourront voir le jour. Donc on aura la mine de Milingui pour le fer, la mine de la potasse, la mine d'Etéké pour l'or, la mine de Baniaka pour le fer. On a la mine de Mébaga, pour le fer également. Et on a la mine de M'Bilan pour le fer », détaille le ministre. L'ouverture des nouvelles exploitations créera naturellement des milliers d'emplois. Le ministre projette surtout une croissance à deux chiffres dans le secteur. « Nous sommes à hauteur de 6% aujourd'hui et nous envisageons de relever ce pourcentage dans les mois et les années qui suivent pour essayer de franchir la barre de 15-20% », précise Sosthène Nguema Nguema. Espoirs de retombées économiques Tout cela est possible, mais l'économiste Orphée Mouelé, formé à l'université Omar Bongo, pose le préalable du développement des infrastructures. « D'un point de vue technique, le succès repose sur plusieurs facteurs essentiels : la construction des infrastructures de transport, des routes, des chemins de fer, des ports, des ponts pour pouvoir acheminer correctement les minerais. Ensuite, le renforcement des capacités de production énergétique. L'énergie est fondamentale », assure l'expert. L'ONG Éthique et bonne gouvernance salue les perspectives économiques du secteur minier. Cependant, le docteur Edmiaune Zouga, sa présidente, espère un réel impact social de ces futures exploitations. « Le plus important pour nous, c'est l'impact social. Il faudrait que cela touche, booste le citoyen lambda. Il faudrait que le Gabonais ressente cet impact économique dans son assiette », espère-t-elle. En parallèle avec sa politique d'exploitation massive de ses minerais, le gouvernement impulse une nouvelle politique de transformation locale de ses matières premières pour créer plus de richesses et d'emplois dans le pays.

En RDC, dès le 1ᵉʳ août 2026, les sociétés minières sont censées céder 10 % de leur capital social aux nationaux, selon les révisions du Code minier de 2018. Cette réforme vise à renforcer l'actionnariat congolais dans le secteur minier considéré comme le plus stratégique, car il contribue à près de 50 % aux recettes de l'État. Le moratoire du ministère des Mines a expiré le 31 juillet. Cependant, cette réforme soulève des interrogations. Avec notre correspondante à Lubumbashi, Désormais, 5 % du capital social des sociétés minières doivent revenir à des personnes physiques congolaises et 5 % aux travailleurs des entreprises. Le Code minier impose que les nationaux détiennent au total 10 % du capital social. Et les sociétés avaient jusqu'à la fin du mois de juillet pour se conformer à la loi. « Cette disposition est l'une des mesures phares de la révision du Code minier de 2018. Le problème, c'est son application. Il faut reconnaître que dans le contexte de corruption généralisée comme on le connaît aujourd'hui, comment appliquer une telle mesure ? », s'interroge Léonide Mupepe, chercheur spécialiste du secteur minier. Parmi les bénéficiaires de cette réforme, il y a des employés des sociétés minières. Cependant, les mécanismes d'application ne sont pas encore connus, s'inquiètent les organisations syndicales. « Notre préoccupation, c'est de savoir comment cela pourra être appliqué et quelles sont les dispositions pratiques qui peuvent être prises en cas de rupture de contrat ? Doit-on distribuer à chaque agent une part sociale qui lui reviendra de droit même s'il quitte l'entreprise ? », questionne de son côté Kapenga Kandolo, le secrétaire général adjoint du syndicat Conscience des travailleurs et paysans du Congo (CTC). À lire aussiRDC: révision du code minier en cours Assurer la transparence de la répartition des parts Le coût des actions suscite aussi des inquiétudes. Jean-Pierre Okenda, un acteur de la société civile basé à Kinshasa, craint que l'ouverture du capital ne profite qu'aux personnes politiquement influentes. « Le capital minimum d'une société minière aujourd'hui représente quand même 40 % du coût du projet », rappelle l'expert. 10 % de cette somme représentent donc un montant particulièrement important. « C'est ce qui, pour moi, logiquement va bloquer. Les parts réservées aux Congolais peuvent être accaparées par l'élite politique ou l'élite proche du pouvoir », alerte-t-il. D'autres acteurs de la société civile exigent de l'État congolais plus de transparence en mettant en place un registre des propriétaires effectifs des sociétés minières et en prévenant ainsi le recours aux sociétés écran. « Si 10 % du capital doivent être détenus par des Congolais, le registre permettra justement de vérifier qui en sont les véritables bénéficiaires, d'éviter les prête-noms et de renforcer la transparence », met en avant Murielle Mwambay, membre de l'ONG La sentinelle des ressources naturelles. Au ministère des Mines, un projet de décret portant sur les mécanismes d'application de l'actionnariat congolais est en cours d'élaboration.

In February 1893, Atlanta endured a week of financial scandal, suicide and shocking violence that newspapers would later remember as Black Week. The darkest chapter unfolded inside the home of one of the city's most respected families, where two sisters were murdered and a third calmly confessed. Through contemporary accounts and Julia Force's own writings, this episode explores one of Georgia's most haunting nineteenth-century murder cases and the mystery that still surrounds it.

She came to the United States from Cameroon almost 30 years ago with a master's degree in education, almost no exposure to computers, and a goal to pursue a doctorate. Her two sisters, both already in IT careers, redirected her. She thought she could never succeed in the field. She became an IT help desk worker. Then a network administrator. Then an IT manager. Then a director. Then a CIO. Then a COO in Spain. Then a Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. Then a Vice President and CIO at a California State University. Her PhD — the original goal from 1995 — she completed in 2019. Twenty-four years later than planned. Dr. Monique is Vice President for Information Technology and CIO at California State University, Chico, and a multiple CIO award winner. In this episode, she shares the specific moments — some planned, some forced on her — that defined how she uses her voice to steer her career. You'll learn: Dr. Monique was the only person of color in senior leadership at an elite STEM university. She organized the conversation her organization wasn't having: a roundtable on race and social justice with her IT team. She went first, dropped her own protective mask, and shared her own experiences with racism — which is what unlocked everyone else. The sessions grew into a six-cohort DEI program across the entire university, co-developed under her executive vice president. A junior male employee publicly questioned in a group meeting whether she was being overpaid. Her two white male predecessors' salaries had never been questioned by that same group. She stood up calmly and said: "I did not come to this meeting to discuss my salary. But if I must, I believe I am appropriately compensated for the work that I do." The room went silent. How she trained herself to respond to the angry Black woman stereotype: when emotions rise, her voice drops lower instead of higher. She slows down. She puts her hands on her thighs. She stands with her feet flat on the ground. She stated her intention to her team before a difficult conversation: "I am standing up not to be overpowering, but because having my feet on the ground helps me control my emotions." Days later, people were still reaching out saying it changed how they see her. At a conference in Chicago, a vendor friend insisted she skip the Super Bowl to meet someone he knew. She agreed. The stranger asked her about her career. She "unabashedly spoke up" about her achievements. He told her they were building a role to lead technological innovation. She applied. She got the job as Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. She applied for Deputy CIO at the Colorado School of Mines with none of the required higher education experience. Got interviewed. Got the job. Eight months later: interim CIO. Three months after that: full CIO. She directly asked her executive vice president there to sponsor her — sharing her goals specifically and asking for stretch assignments. That EVP let her serve as deputy COO while still serving as CIO. The framework she and Ivna coin in this episode: "confident humility." Women often embrace the humility and delete the confidence. The combination of both — taking no apologies for what she has accomplished while doing so with poise and grace — is what she credits for attracting sponsors throughout her career. Why she asks directly for sponsorship by naming specific career goals and specific asks, and why she audits her sponsor network regularly — including thinking about what would happen to her if her strongest advocate left the organization tomorrow. About Dr. Monique: Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer at California State University, Chico. Multiple CIO award winner. Immigrant from Cameroon. Former CIO at Colorado School of Mines, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer, and Chief Operating Officer in Spain. PhD in Education and Organizational Leadership. Started her IT career at the help desk.
Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Steve Hanke back to the show. Steve Hanke is a Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University. Hanke highlights the two major wars—the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran and the Ukraine war—as critical disruptors of global commodity flows. He notes that the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed, with Iran controlling it, and the Houthis threaten the Red Sea chokepoint, severely constricting crude and refined product supplies. Russia's cutoff of diesel exports and domestic fuel shortages compound the strain. Oil markets are in backwardation, with spot prices above futures, signaling dangerously low inventories that have cushioned prices so far but are nearing depletion. Hanke warns that once physical inventories run out, oil prices could spike dramatically, potentially later this summer. He advises going long on oil, especially major producers, as a straightforward trade for most investors. On gold, Hanke maintains a bullish outlook, projecting a peak around $6,000 per ounce based on historical ratios to real disposable income. He attributes recent pullbacks to dollar strength and rising interest rates but sees central bank buying as a fundamental driver. He also discusses the pressure on the Fed to monetize debt, which could fuel inflation and support gold. The conversation shifts to the broader commodity supercycle, fueled by deglobalization, underinvestment, and the need for larger precautionary inventories. Copper and tungsten are identified as clear bullish plays due to supply deficits. Hanke notes that high diesel prices are squeezing mining and agriculture, potentially raising output prices. He also touches on dollarization, recommending developing countries adopt the U.S. dollar to expand its use rather than de-dollarize. The interview concludes with Hanke emphasizing the importance of money supply growth as the key determinant of nominal GDP and inflation.

Fewer than half of American adults read a single book in 2022. Reading for pleasure has nearly halved in twenty years. Behind those numbers is a deeper story: What happens to a mind, and a democracy, when it loses the habit of sitting with a difficult idea for three hundred pages?In this episode, Reino traces the line from deep reading to deep thinking: how following a long argument builds the same muscle we need to resist slogans, hold nuance, and imagine lives unlike our own. He returns to a small town in rural KwaZulu-Natal, to a teacher named Andy Towert who could make a room fall silent with the toss of a leather bag, and to the books — King Solomon's Mines, The Pilgrimage, Anam Cara — that quietly redirected the course of his life.A reflection on reading, attention, and what a post-literate society stands to lose.#LivingToBe #LettersFromTheThreshold #WhyWeRead #DeepReading #Attention #Literacy #Empathy #Democracy #Pilgrimage #CaminoDeSantiago #ContemplativeLife #Bibliophile #SlowLiving #StorytellingSubscribing to Letters from the ThresholdMore Information:www.reinogevers.comhttps://reinodiary.com/Books:Sages, Saints and SinnersDeep Walking for Body Mind and SoulWalking on Edge: A pilgrimage to Santiago
The Hunter region of New South Wales has long been associated with coal mining and energy production. As the transition to renewable energy ramps up, key players are trying to make sure there's enough jobs for workers who will be displaced. And taking advantage of the sites that played a key role in coal-fired energy generation, for a renewable future.
Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rory Johnston to the show. Rory Johnston is a Commodity Market Research Specializing in Oil and Gas. Johnston describes an unprecedented period of volatility in oil markets, where the supply-demand balance swung radically within a single month. Following a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz, a surge of previously stranded tankers created a temporary mini-glut, flipping market structures from severe backwardation into contango. However, this glut proved fleeting as inbound empty tankers, initially driven by the most risk-tolerant owners, have dried up, leaving Gulf loadings constrained by available shipping capacity. Consequently, supply is tightening aggressively again. The most significant factor absorbing the supply shock is China, which swung its crude imports down by five million barrels per day without clear economic damage domestically. Johnston explores speculative explanations, including massive refined product stock releases, a coal-to-petrochemical feedstock switch, or a geopolitical understanding with the US. He also suggests China may be using the crisis as a successful dry run for weathering a potential blockade in a Taiwan conflict scenario. This swing, totaling roughly half a billion barrels, dwarfs the collective releases from IEA member states. Beyond crude, the refined products market, particularly diesel, is critically tight. Diesel crack spreads have soared to staggering levels, driven by drone attacks damaging Russian refineries, prior damage in the Middle East, and China slashing product exports. Johnston clarifies that strategic petroleum reserves function as a supply boost, not passive inventory, and that operational tank minimums at hubs like Cushing primarily affect regional price differentials to discourage exports, not trigger infinite crude spikes. He concludes that the overriding vulnerability is refining capacity, which is easy to target and hard to defend, making North American facilities a potentially valuable geopolitical safe haven in the current drone warfare era.

Corra has never wanted to keep anything before. Then you fall into her water. Your eyes turn iridescent. Your body opens beneath her tentacles, and what should have become another ending instead becomes something Corra cannot understand... or resist. At first, she believes the hope inside you must be the simple animal desire to survive. So she studies you. But your hope does not taste like escape. It tastes like anticipation. Like hunger. Like an aching need for more. Corra is made entirely from the absence of hope. Now she cannot stop consuming yours. She loses herself at your ear, devouring every soft response while the "hope" inside you grows hotter, sweeter and increasingly difficult to contain. Corra thought she had discovered something that could survive her. She did not expect to discover something that could ruin her. #F4A #MonsterGirl #TentacleMonster #AncientWaterEntity #EldritchWoman #Horror #DarkFantasy #UrbExGoneWrong #UnderwaterHorror #AbandonedMine #BinauralAudio #3Dio #PossessiveMonster #CuriousMonster #ObsessiveMonster #AddictedToYou #YouTasteLikeHope #AncientBeingFallsFirst #MonsterBecomesAttached #DangerousComfort #SoftHorror #UncannyIntimacy #YoureMine #CreatureRomance #SlowBurn #MonsterIntimacy #TentacleRestraint #EarAttention #EarKissing #EarLicking #GentleBiting #Praise #BodyWorship #SensoryFocus #BreathplayThemes #OxygenControlThemes #UrbExGoneWrong
C dans l'air l'invitée du 14 juillet 2026 avec Emma Haziza, hydrologue, docteure de l'École des Mines de Paris, spécialisée dans l'adaptation de notre société au changement climatique.L'incendie qui ravage la forêt de Fontainebleau est toujours actif, alors que plus de 2 000 hectares ont déjà brûlé et que 850 pompiers sont toujours mobilisés pour tenter d'éteindre le sinistre. Des Canadairs ont pour la première fois été engagés en Ile-de-France. Sur l'ensemble du territoire, ce sont 98 départements qui sont concernés par la sècheresse ; tout le pays est donc désormais touché par les risques d'incendie.
C dans l'air du 15 juillet 2026 - Fontainebleau : un "traître" parmi les pompiers Les incendies qui frappent la forêt de Fontainebleau touchent l'un des sites naturels les plus emblématiques de France. Ce massif, chargé d'histoire et de biodiversité, est aujourd'hui confronté à des flammes qui menacent un patrimoine exceptionnel. L'incendie principal, démarré dimanche autour de l'autoroute A6, a déjà parcouru quelque 2 000 hectares en deux jours. Face à l'urgence, 800 pompiers sont mobilisés jour et nuit, épaulés par des habitants et des bénévoles qui participent aux opérations ou soutiennent les secours sur le terrain. L'émotion est d'autant plus forte que l'origine de certains départs de feu provoque l'indignation. Parmi les interpellations, un pompier volontaire a reconnu être à l'origine d'un incendie en ayant "mis le feu à des brindilles avec un briquet et de l'essence". Un autre homme a admis "avoir accidentellement mis le feu en jetant sa cigarette" sur un autre lieu de départ de feu. Les enquêteurs sont parvenus à identifier rapidement les responsables présumés. Pour remonter jusqu'à l'origine d'un incendie, ils analysent le point de départ des flammes, recueillent les témoignages, et exploitent les images de vidéosurveillance lorsqu'elles existent. Ces incendies alimentent aussi les tensions politiques autour de la gestion du climat. Jean-Luc Mélenchon estime qu'ils sont la conséquence de "la stupidité du capitalisme" qui ne prend pas suffisamment en compte les enjeux environnementaux. Il accuse également son concurrent à l'élection présidentielle, Gabriel Attal, d'avoir annulé la commande de deux Canadair en procédant à des coupes budgétaires lorsqu'il était Premier ministre. Une version contestée par ce dernier. Au-delà de la France, plusieurs pays européens sont confrontés aux mêmes catastrophes. En Espagne, les incendies ont fait plusieurs victimes et relancent le débat sur la gestion des évacuations. Les experts rappellent enfin que le phénomène El Niño, combiné aux risques de canicule, au manque de pluie et à des vents favorables à la propagation des flammes, peut créer des incendies toujours plus violents et plus difficiles à maîtriser. Quelles conséquences peut avoir l'incendie de la forêt de Fontainebleau ? Comment les enquêteurs parviennent-ils à retrouver aussi rapidement les auteurs présumés d'un départ de feu ? Les États sont-ils aujourd'hui suffisamment préparés pour faire face à des feux de forêt d'une telle ampleur ?Nos experts :- Emma HAZIZA - Hydrologue et docteur de l'Ecole des Mines de Paris - Audrey GOUTARD - Grand reporter France Télévisions, spécialiste des faits de société - Gaël MUSQUET - Expert en prévention des risques naturels - Nicolas BERROD - Journaliste, chef adjoint du service Santé Sciences - « Le Parisien » - Éric BROCARDI (en duplex) - Porte-parole de la Fédération nationale des sapeurs-pompiers de FrancePRESENTATION : Caroline Roux - Aurélie Casse - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40.PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM :https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

The Stillwater Mines have been abandoned for generations, left to rust above a body of water that never ripples unless something beneath it chooses to move. You came looking for a story. A rumor. Proof that something still lives beneath the old processing levels. But the thing in the water was never only a monster. Long before the mines, she slept in the dark, ancient, silent, untouched. Then the miners broke through into her resting place, and everything they brought with them seeped into the depths: noise, fear, metal, memory, and the final peace of those who never surfaced again. Now she waits in the Stillwater Mines, carrying the last moments of everyone the mine has taken. She does not hunt. She does not chase. She simply remains. But remaining is not the same as mercy. Corra does not go looking for the surface world. She does not need to. Sooner or later, the surface always sends something curious down into the dark. And when you fall into her water, she discovers something impossible in you. Something that does not fade. Something that looks back. Something iridescent. And Corra has never wanted to keep anything before. #F4A #AudioRoleplay #MonsterGirl #TentacleMonster #AncientWaterCreature #Horror #DarkFantasy #UrbExGoneWrong #UnderwaterHorror #AbandonedMine #BinauralAudio #Possessive #3Dio #CuriousMonster #Eldritch #Uncanny #DangerousComfort #SoftHorror #YoureMine #CreatureRomance #SlowBurn #MonsterIntimacy #BreathplayThemes #OxygenControlThemes

Oil market expert Rory Johnston provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global energy landscape and recent supply disruptions. He examines the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, and the surprising resilience of the market due to China’s massive reduction in crude imports. The discussion explores potential geopolitical shifts, such as the UAE's departure from OPEC and Iran's attempts to control vital shipping lanes. Ultimately, Johnston highlights a transition toward a more interventionist era where nations must prioritize energy sovereignty and infrastructure diversification to survive future shocks.

Alright guys, this week we're kicking it off with Tate Bradfield, founder of Process Based Hunter. Tate's got one of the more interesting backstories I've heard on this show — went from working in a mine, to door-to-door sales, to guiding elk for other outfitters, to eventually running his own semi-guided elk hunting courses where he takes 150-180 people a year and actually teaches them how to hunt instead of just pointing at a bull and telling them to shoot. We riff on a ton of stuff in this one — his "at-bats" philosophy for picking a guided hunt (spoiler: stop asking how big the bulls are and start asking how many encounters per day you'll get), why he thinks cow calling during rifle season is one of the most underused tactics out there, how he snuck within 60 yards of a 200-inch mule deer with a cow elk decoy and no rifle in hand, and why most guys pack way too much gear and focus on the wrong stuff before a hunt. If you've ever thought about leveling up your elk hunting instead of just white-knuckling your way through another season, this episode's for you. Tate's semi-guided archery course still has a few spots open for 2026, and rifle spots are open for 2027 — head to processbasedhunter.com or check him out on Instagram @processbasedhunter.

Are Michigan and Huron separate lakes – or have we been counting the Great Lakes wrong? There may actually be four Great Lakes: “Lake” Huron and “Lake” Michigan could actually be considered “lobes” of one big lake — big enough to unseat Lake Superior as the world’s largest freshwater lake by surface area. We hear two takes: one from a scientific perspective, and one from a cultural perspective. GUESTS: Eric Anderson, director of hydrologic science and engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. Eric Hemenway, humanities program manager for the University of Michigan’s School for Environment and Sustainability.

When Julius Caesar conquered Gaul he boasted that he killed a million Gauls and enslaved a million more. This is the truth about the Roman empire: Rome could not function without slavery as it underpinned every single part of their economy. Without the millions of people snatched from their homes in the aftermath of war, kidnapped from the streets, sold into slavery as punishment, or born into it as “home bred slaves”, the Roman empire’s great aqueducts and temples could never have been built. There would be no coins or tiles to find in fields, no limitless manpower for the army and navy that conquered the Mediterranean, no marble palaces or underfloor heating, and certainly no life of unimaginable luxury for the top of Roman society. Slavery in Rome could be very good or bad depending on the job. Highly educated Greek slaves served as physicians, accountants, architects, and tutors for aristocratic sons and daughters. At the bottom of the hierarchy were sulfur mine workers, who worked in toxic, collapsing tunnels and were often blinded by their masters to remind them they would be there for the rest of their short miserable lives. Today's guest is Emma Southon, author of Not Built in a Day: How Slavery Made the Roman Empire. We discuss how Rome evolved from a sanctuary for men fleeing slavery into the most extensive chattel slave system in history, and how Spartacus horrified Rome not by winning battles but by forcing 300 Roman prisoners to fight as gladiators at his co-commander's funeral. We also look at why there was never a Roman abolition movement because Romans understood that slavery destroyed people but concluded this was the slaves' problem, not theirs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
