In this episode, Tycho van der Hoog joins the podcast to explore how North Korea forged and sustained ties with African liberation movements and governments during and after the Cold War — connections that continue to shape the country's activities on the continent today. He shares how his interest in the topic began with a trip to Namibia, where he encountered North Korean-built monuments. He also talks about his years of archival research and fieldwork across Southern Africa and the role of cultural and ideological exchange, including how North Korea used Juche ideology and its own unique aesthetics to build loyalty. Dr. Tycho van der Hoog is assistant professor of international security studies at the Netherlands Defense Academy, and the author of “Comrades Beyond the Cold War,” a new book that traces North Korea's unexpected ties with postcolonial states in Southern Africa.

The global balance of power is undergoing a dramatic transformation that extends far beyond the US-China rivalry dominating Western headlines. This eye-opening conversation with experts from three continents reveals how developing nations are reshaping international relations through demographic advantages, economic growth, and strategic non-alignment.Our panel delivers surprising insights about Africa's explosive potential, where the median age is just 19 and five of the world's ten fastest-growing economies are located. You'll discover how China has established control of 70 ports across 32 African countries while Western powers have grown "shy" about asserting their values and interests. The emerging importance of Namibia—with press freedom rivaling Western democracies and potentially the largest offshore oil discovery in history—challenges conventional thinking about Africa's future.India's remarkable trajectory takes center stage as Professor Pradip Shukla explains how the world's most populous nation, with 40% of its population under 25, is projected to become the second-largest global economy by 2050. India's strategic balancing act between the US, Russia, and China offers a blueprint for success in this new multipolar reality.From Latin America, we learn how China has displaced the United States as the primary commercial partner across the region, making billion-dollar infrastructure investments while American influence wanes. The stark contrast between China's port development in Peru versus America's response limited to social media statements illustrates the shifting landscape of regional influence.The conversation culminates with a provocative discussion about how Western nations might regain lost ground, including the strategic use of tariffs as leverage. Our experts suggest that countries avoiding rigid ideological positions may ultimately prove most successful in navigating this complex new world order.Listen now to understand the profound forces reshaping global power dynamics and why developing nations will increasingly determine our collective future.Support Our WorkThe Center for Demographics and Policy focuses on research and analysis of global, national, and regional demographic trends and explores policies that might produce favorable demographic results over time.

At the turn of the twentieth century, depictions of the colonized world were prevalent throughout the German metropole. Tobacco advertisements catered to the erotic gaze of imperial enthusiasts with images of Ovaherero girls, and youth magazines allowed children to escape into "exotic domains" where their imaginations could wander freely. While racist beliefs framed such narratives, the abundance of colonial imaginaries nevertheless compelled German citizens and settlers to contemplate the world beyond Europe as a part of their daily lives. An Imperial Homeland: Forging German Identity in Southwest Africa (Pennsylvania State University Press, 2022) reorients our understanding of the relationship between imperial Germany and its empire in Southwest Africa (present-day Namibia). Colonialism had an especially significant effect on shared interpretations of the Heimat (home/homeland) ideal, a historically elusive perception that conveyed among Germans a sense of place through national peculiarities and local landmarks. Focusing on colonial encounters that took place between 1842 and 1915, Adam A. Blackler reveals how Africans confronted foreign rule and altered German national identity. As Blackler shows, once the façade of imperial fantasy gave way to colonial reality, German metropolitans and white settlers increasingly sought to fortify their presence in Africa using juridical and physical acts of violence, culminating in the first genocide of the twentieth century. Grounded in extensive archival research, An Imperial Homeland enriches our understanding of German identity, allowing us to see how a distant colony with diverse ecologies, peoples, and social dynamics grew into an extension of German memory and tradition. It will be of interest to German Studies scholars, particularly those interested in colonial Africa. Dr. Adam A. Blackler is an assistant professor of history at the University of Wyoming. He is a historian of modern Germany and southern Africa, whose research emphasizes the transnational dimensions of imperial occupation and settler-colonial violence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Meren Energy Inc (TSX:MER, OTC:AOIFF) chief financial officer Aldo Perracini talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's second-quarter results and strategic priorities. Perracini highlighted that Meren has continued to execute its shareholder return policy, delivering another dividend payment of US$25 million and announcing a third consecutive quarterly dividend of the same amount. He said the market should view this as a sign of Meren's strong position to deliver on its commitments, even in a volatile commodity pricing environment. The company has also been proactively paying down its debt. Perracini noted that this decision was made because Meren has the cash available and aims to reduce interest expenses, building on an already strong balance sheet. Looking ahead, he pointed to an active second half of the year and into 2026. Key developments include further drilling, progress toward the Venus final investment decision in Namibia, potential high-impact drilling in South Africa, and a formal process in Equatorial Guinea. Perracini expressed confidence in Meren's ability to deliver on these plans.

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

In this Midweek Takeaway, the team are joined once again by Colin Bird, Chairman of Bezant Resources. We discuss the company's agreement to acquire a 90% stake in Namib Lead and Zinc Mining (NLZM) for US$2.5m plus royalties — a move that secures an existing processing plant and fast-tracks the Hope and Gorob copper-gold project in Namibia by at least two years. The plant will process pre-concentrated ore from Hope and Gorob, with the potential to treat NLZM's zinc-lead-silver ore in future, while reducing haulage costs and environmental impact through dry ore sorting. With the Hope open pit set to produce 8,000 tonnes of contained copper annually at 1.65% CuEq, and resource growth potential along a 97km strike length, an independent model places the project's NPV at US$46.8m with a 63% IRR.

Year C – 9th Sunday after Pentecost; Lectionary 19 – August 10, 2025 Pastor Megan Floyd Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 Luke 12:32-40 Grace and peace to you from our Lord, Jesus Christ, and from God, our Creator, in whose faithfulness we trust. Amen. *** “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1) Faith… is our trust that God is faithful… our trust that God is good for what God promises… it is our trust that Jesus really meant it when he said, “it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) Faith… is not certainty… it's an act of holy listening to what the Holy Spirit is whispering to you… and then responding accordingly… it's an act of holy acknowledgment of the nudges felt deep in your gut… and then going where you feel the Spirit guiding you. Even when we don't know the outcome… when we can't see the final destination of the journey… we go anyway… Faith is not certainty… it's trusting that God's got you… that God loves you… and that God delights in providing for you. This past week, I met an amazing woman named Mona… and after talking with her for a long time, I learned that she knows many of you, too. Mona exudes joy …and hope for all that her life has been and what it will be… and gratitude to God for it all. Her energy just… sparkled! She came to the United States as an immigrant from Namibia when she was only a teenager. I'm not the best at guessing ages, but she might be around my age now. While I didn't catch the specifics of why she needed to immigrate, I heard in her story the struggle her family faced when it became plain that sending her to the US… far away from everything she'd known… was the best solution. They trusted that God would be with her through it all… that no matter what, she was cradled by the Spirit. I gathered that she was sponsored by Samaritas, and she said that her father told her… whenever you find yourself in trouble, go to the Lutherans… the Lutherans will help you. …I love that part, obviously… But sure enough… that's what she's done, and that's how she has come to know so many of you here! Mona told me that Ceclia helped her with her green card paperwork, and she checked in with Pr. Ellen many times. She was excited to share that she's graduated summa cum laude from LCC and is going to start at Cooley Law School this winter. She's also just started a job at a hotel that she loves and will be able to work around her class schedule. She is in a really good place and she's excited for life… but more than anything, she gives glory and praise to God for it all… Her joy comes from trusting God's presence in her life, for guiding her when she didn't know if her needs would be met… and living every day according to God's will. Her witness was a beautiful testament to her faith in God's promise for us all… And… she makes it look easy! The honest truth is, that when you live as close to daily struggle and hardship as it sounded like she does, there is little confusion as to the source of all good things… the source of our daily bread. God really does show up in profound ways when we're paying attention! But for those who live with a fair amount of comfort… it is much easier to confuse God's provision with our own resourcefulness… It's easier to ignore the nudging of the Spirit to follow God's way of caring for others, and instead, go our own way that cares only for ourselves. Like the parable from last week, we are tempted to stockpile our resources… our abundance… to ensure that no matter what, OUR needs will be met… but the only way to create such a stockpile… is to ignore the needs of all those around us. And yet… Jesus shows up and brings good news… Have no fear, he says… release your anxiety! For it is God's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Do not be afraid! The one who created you… delights in caring for you. Now hear this… a flock is not an individual… the “you” in this assurance from Jesus is plural. It is God's good pleasure to give you, as a people… as a community… to give you and all your neighbors… the full body of Christ… to give you all the kingdom. And Jesus also tells us how this will be achieved… but we tend to skip over that part. Don't get me wrong, though… this isn't about receiving salvation… we are not responsible for earning our own salvation or redemption… for that is what Jesus has already done for us. But we do, however, have a responsibility… our lives need to be ready to receive the good gifts that God offers, and the sooner the better! …because the gifts are so good! The kingdom of God is not an afterlife eventuality… it is something God is building here and now, with us, inviting us in as co-creators for God's glory! So then… Have no fear, for it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom, and Jesus then tells us how we are to receive this gift… …Sell your possessions and give alms to the poor… build up your treasure by building up those in need! Build up your treasure… by building up those whom Jesus consistently favors… Build up your treasure… by building up those who are cast out… by building up those who are sick… by building up those who are alone… those who are hungry… those who are strangers in a foreign land. Build up your treasure… by directing your heart toward those whom Jesus favors… time and time again throughout scriptures… Build up your treasure… by building a full and diverse community where all have their needs met, including you! …where all are valued and where all are loved. THAT is the kingdom of God… and where your treasure is… there your heart will be. Your heart. It's not really about your treasure… although for your neighbor in need, it kind of is… but your treasure is both a means to an end… and something that can get in between you and God… Giving of your treasure is how you train yourself to pay attention… it's how you train your heart to care… it's how you actively engage with the fullness of the community around you. So it's not as much about your treasure… as it is about your heart… your love… Jesus wants your heart. Giving of your treasure… is how we train our hearts to go where our human nature wouldn't normally go. Our human nature is to look at our resources and see scarcity, and to feed our anxiety by storing up our treasure in earthly containers. But in God's kingdom… we look out at our resources and see an abundance, enough to feed all who are hungry, and in our sharing, we are richly blessed. So have no fear! Trust in God, your Creator, for it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom… and here is how we are to receive such a splendid gift… …by letting go of our fear… by becoming more like Mona… By trusting that God will continue to provide, and God will continue to guide us each day to those we can share our life with and build our community with… so we can delight in the ways that we bless each other, each according to their gifts… …in the promised and ever-unfolding kingdom of God. Our God delights in you… delights in providing for you… and God is delighted when we figure out how to receive God's blessing for us. For it is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. So trust in the promises and provision of the Lord, your God… and have no fear. Amen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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