Paul Jones, VP of Corporate Development at Versamet Royalties (TSX.V: VMET), joins us to review the key metrics from the record Q3 financials, the recent news where Tether and the Lundin family have become strategic shareholders, and a look ahead to future mid-sized royalty and streaming transactions to grow. Additionally, we discuss the benefits of the coming big board US exchange listing.   Third Quarter 2025 Highlights    Record revenue of $8.1 million, an increase of 155% over Q3 2024.  Record attributable gold equivalent ounces (“GEOs”) of 2,699, an increase of 110% over Q3 2024.  Record operating cash flow before working capital changes of $6.1 million, an increase of 206% over Q3 2024.  Acquisition of a significant silver stream on the operating Rosh Pinah Zinc mine in Namibia and a polymetallic royalty on the operating Santa Rita mine in Brazil, both operated by Appian Capital Advisory Limited (“Appian”).  Inaugural royalty revenues from the Kiaka and Santa Rita mines.     Paul reviews the record Q3 revenues, GEOs and cash flow, and highlighted the immediate benefits of company's recent largest transaction to date with the acquisition of a significant silver stream on Rosh Pinah Zinc, a high-quality mine in Namibia that is currently undergoing an expansion, and a royalty on Santa Rita in Brazil, a top tier nickel-sulphide mine. The addition of these expanding cash-flowing assets have had a significant impact to Versamet's combined gold equivalent ounces, with ~10,000 GEOs projected in 2025, and up to ~20,000 GEOs by 2026.  This translates over to ~$70M in annual revenue targeted for next year, using consensus gold prices, and even higher than that at current spot prices.   We go on to discuss with Paul the Company's current valuation, their plans for growth through accretive acquisitions, and the advantage of the mid-size deal flow they can pursue as one of only a few mid-tier precious metals royalty and streaming companies.   Wrapping up Paul highlights the strong endorsement of the quality of their assets from the recent news of Tether Investments S.A. de C.V. and the Lundin Family Trusts both coming in as new 12.7% cornerstone shareholders of the Company respectively.  We also review the liquidity benefits, broader investor base, and potential for more ETF inclusion through the coming U.S. big board exchange listing.     If you have any questions for Paul regarding Versamet Royalties, then please email those in to us at Fleck@kereport.com or Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Versamet Royalties   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/   Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Die Bank van Namibië het Suid-Afrika se onlangse aanpassing van sy inflasie-teiken verwelkom. Die wysiging verlaag die vorige teikenreeks van 3 tot 6 persent na 'n vaste 3 persent, met 'n toleransieband van 1 persentasiepunt aan weerskante. As lid van die Algemene Monetêregebied sal Namibia direk die uitwerking van hierdie beleidsverandering ervaar. Volgens die BoN kan die laer inflasieteiken verskeie voordelige gevolge inhou, soos die bank se Naufike Hamunime verduidelik.

Y aún así, entrena. La clave no es entrenar mucho, es entrenar bien. Como dice Miguel: "Antes usaba ChatGPT para mis planes de entrenamiento. Ahora tengo comunicación real, ajustes constantes y alguien que entiende que hay semanas en las que las niñas se ponen malas o estoy en un país donde correr 3 horas en cinta es infernal" La flexibilidad no es excusa, es estrategia. No hay plan perfecto, hay plan inicial que se adapta. Y aquí viene el bonus: Miguel también organiza la Maratón Internacional de Santo Tomé y Príncipe (última semana de junio). Una carrera solidaria en uno de los países menos visitados del mundo. 263 atletas el último año. Avituallamientos cada 2 km. Paisajes de película ‍♂️ ¿La moraleja?

This afternoon, the Home Secretary will set out in the House of Commons her proposed reforms to the asylum system. The headline changes proposed by Shabana Mahmood have been well briefed in the weekend press: refugees will have temporary status and be required to reapply to remain in Britain every two-and-a-half years; those arriving would have to wait 20 years before they can apply for permanent settlement; and countries that refuse to take back migrants will be threatened with visa bans – Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo are among those likely to be initially punished. Is she the one to finally take on the migration crisis?Lucy Dunn speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

TALK long enough about green shipping scenarios and sooner or later all roads lead to Africa. Africa's renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind, is vast and largely untapped, which explains why green energy investment in Africa is booming. Imports of solar panels, largely from China, are up 60% in the past 12 months alone. While that is from a relatively low base, the investments are coming thick and fast when it comes to clean fuel production. Given the collapse of the Net-Zero Framework at the International Maritime Organization and the context of a somewhat lacklustre COP out in Brazil, you may well be asking yourself: “why am I listening to yet another decarbonisation diatribe?” Regardless of the headline political headwinds, the business case for green shipping projects continues to be relevant. And if you're looking for some optimism to get you through some admittedly uncertain times when it comes to shipping's decarbonisation agenda, Africa is good place to start. This week's episode of the podcast travels to Namibia and South Africa, via a green corridor into Europe, to understand why Africa could hold the key to shipping's decarbonisation. Joining Richard on this week's podcast are: Alexander Saverys, chief executive, CMB.Tech Jesse Fahnestock, decarbonisation director, Global Maritime Forum James Mnyupe, senior vice-president sub-Saharan Africa, Thyssenkrupp Subscribe to Lloyd's List: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/products/…oyds-list Learn more about Lloyd's List Intelligence: www.lloydslistintelligence.com/

Over in the UK, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood plans to impose visa bans on three African countries if they fail to take back their illegal migrants. Angola, Namibia and the Democratic Republic of Congo face visa sanctions set to block tourists, VIPs and business officials from travelling to Britain if they don't co-operate. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says the Government is hoping to reassure voters it can be tough on migration amid concerns from the opposition.

Reaksie word ontvang op vervoerminister Veikko Nekundi se aankondiging dat die kabinet die naam vir die land se nuwe nasionale lugredery goedgekeur het. Dit sal as Namibia Air funksioneer en sal na verwagting in die volgende boekjaar vorm aanneem. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met 'n voormalige Air Namibia-vlieënier Vijay Jha gepraat, wat sy mening oor die verwikkelinge gee.

Meren Energy Inc (TSX:MER, OTCQX:MRNFF) investor relations manager Shahin Amini talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's third-quarter results, highlighting the strategic and financial significance of its Prime Oil & Gas amalgamation. Amini described the deal as “transformational,” saying it doubled the company's reserves and production base. Importantly, it also gave Meren full control over financial decision-making at Prime, which holds key assets in Nigeria, including the Agbami, Egina, and Akpo fields operated by Chevron and TotalEnergies. He confirmed that Meren has declared its fourth quarterly dividend for 2025, totalling approximately $25 million and bringing the full-year distribution to $100 million. The company also reduced its outstanding OPL debt facility as part of its strategy to maintain a robust balance sheet and minimize interest expenses. Discussing growth, Amini said: “We try to secure our organic growth opportunities without stretching the balance sheet.” He pointed to Namibia's Venus development, where TotalEnergies will fund Meren's share through to first production, as a prime example. Looking ahead to 2026, Amini highlighted exploration opportunities in Namibia, South Africa, and Equatorial Guinea, noting that success in these regions could be transformational for the company's reserve base and future production outlook.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we sit down with Björn Dunkerbeck, the 56-year-old windsurfing legend with 42 PWA World Titles (more than any athlete in any sport), 32+ years with Red Bull, and a personal best of 103.68 km/h over 500 m. Fresh off double-hip surgery and pain-free for the first time in years, Björn joins Luc from Lüderitz, Namibia, where he's chasing the outright windsurf speed world record during the month-long November window at the infamous Lüderitz Speed Channel. From the early days of 16-knot records in Weymouth to breaking 50 knots in a hand-dug Namibian trench, Björn walks us through the 50-year evolution of speed sailing, the physics of wind angle, water flatness, and why 8–10 m wide is now “as good as it gets” for a channel you can't fall out of at 100 km/h.Channel Evolution & Record Progression: How speed sailing jumped from 30 knots in the South of France to 40 in Saint-Marie-la-Mer, 45 by Thierry Bielak, then exploded in Walvis Bay and finally Lüderitz—where a kitesurfer named Sebastien Cattelan dug the first trench, and six riders broke 50 knots in one week (2012–13).Lüderitz 2025 Setup: Björn's first sessions in “perfect south-easter” conditions, why 45–50 knots of wind is the sweet spot before chop kills speed, and how a scratched fin or lack of starting-area depth can end your run before it begins.Post-Surgery Comeback: At 115 kg and 56 years young, how titanium hips have restored confidence, why Severne sails (5.2–5.7 m²), 40 cm Starboard speed boards, and custom fins are dialed, and the mental edge of knowing “I can still do this.”Gear & Technique for 100 km/h: Why boards are only 227 cm long / 35–45 L, how you rail the upwind third of the channel, and the art of body-position micro-adjustments to keep a 40 cm board from catapulting in full-power 5.2 conditions.Wipeouts & Safety: “Your day is over after a big one.” Helmet + impact vest = minimum; grit + not crashing = the real safety plan.Getting Into Speed Sailing: Download the WaterSpeed app (free), track your 100 m / 250 m / 500 m times anywhere, then upload to GPS-SpeedSurfing.com and join the Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge (50+ countries, 10th year running). Start on whatever gear you have—25 knots becomes 30, then 40…Family Legacy: Four kids, two girls, two boys. Son Liam (17)—triple U21 wave world champ, former U18 Lüderitz record holder (80+ km/h)—currently training on Maui. Youngest Daniel (13 next week) already ripping waves and speed. How Björn transitioned from pro dominance to proud dad without losing the fire.Bonaire & Dunkerbeck Pro Center: 10 years strong at Sorobon's turquoise lagoon—Defi Wind Bonaire returns June 16–21, 2026 (111 spots only). From 5-year-olds in harnesses to 90-year-olds still planing, it's the world's safest speed playground.Foiling vs Fin: Björn's light-wind foil arsenal (6.0–10.0 m² + Phantom 960/1950/910 wings) as low-wind speed training, why foils won't touch Lüderitz (not enough depth, too much drag), and whether sub-40 cm masts could ever push foils past 100 km/h.The Limit? Björn's take: 100 km/h average on 500 m is very possible; top speed >103.68 km/h likely. Beyond 105 km/h, cavitation theories split the experts—we'll know when we get there.Red Bull Family: 32 years, 800+ athletes, from windsurfing's early days to F1 and America's Cup. Plus Björn's long involvement with Wings for Life spinal cord research.Follow Björn - https://www.instagram.com/bjorndunkerbeckDunkerbeck Speed Challenge - https://www.GPS-SpeedSurfing.comWaterSpeed App - Free downloadLüderitz Speed Channel live updates all November!

Die vervoerminister, Veikko Nekundi, sê die kabinet het die naam vir die land se nuwe nasionale lugredery goedgekeur. Dit sal as Namibia Air funksioneer, en gestig kragtens maatskappywetgewing met die regering as enigste aandeelhouer. Die nuwe redery sal na verwagting in die volgende boekjaar vorm aanneem. Nekundi het bevestig dat 'n tegniese komitee bestaande uit plaaslike lugvaartkundiges gestig is om die lugredery se skepping te lei, met die fokus op die versekering van die langtermyn volhoubaarheid en finansiële lewensvatbaarheid daarvan. Hy het met OneAfrica gepraat.

Die Desert Research Foundation of Namibia het 'n uitreikgeleentheid by die San Mobile Training Centre in die Omaheke-streek gelei, met die fokus op die bemagtiging van die San-gemeenskap, regsbewustheid en inklusiewe ontwikkeling. Vier jong San-vroue – opgelei oor die jare deur die Small Grants Program en die Canadian Local Initiatives Fund – het die werkswinkel gefasiliteer. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Belinda Thanises van die stigting gepraat.

By COP30 in Brasilië het Andrew Johnstone, uitvoerende hoof van Climate Fund Managers, Namibië se ambisieuse klimaatsverbintenisse onder die Parys-ooreenkoms geprys. Hy het die Namibia One Fund uitgelig, 'n gemengde finansieringsinisiatief wat openbare en private beleggings lok om die land se groenwaterstofsektor en infrastruktuur te versterk.

If French rugby is fine wine, the Boks uncorked it, chugged it straight from the bottle, and smashed the glass on the way out. The Springboks have once again marched into Paris like uninvited houseguests, stomping mud across the carpets, smashing the crockery, and pocketing a few heirlooms for good measure. France looked overrated, outmuscled, and utterly unable to dent the Bok defence, while the refereeing circus gave us scrums that made no sense, a red card that raised eyebrows, and yellows that felt more like lottery tickets. Rassie's substitutions were bold, Siya's leadership was immense, and Esterhuizen looked every bit the golden key to unlock this side. Sasha or Manie — who's really the man (hint, it's still Pollard)? Meanwhile, the 9s are bringing the heat, but KLA might not be it. Beyond Paris, the Northern Hemisphere chorus of “we're undercooked” rang out again, conveniently forgetting that the shoe is on the other foot every June. Italy toppled Australia, leaving us wondering if Joe Schmidt's fire has fizzled. Scotland spooked themselves against New Zealand in what quickly became the DMac show. England scraped past Fiji, though the islanders could easily have stolen it, with refereeing once again in the spotlight. Wales, poor Wales, were left licking wounds after Argentina gave them another bruising reminder of reality. And in the background, World Cup qualification permutations rumble on: Namibia struggling, Belgium proving they're more than just chips. It was a weekend of broken narratives, hot takes, and Southern Hemisphere swagger, and we're here to stir the pot with all the banter you can handle. Music by @monstroid, 80s TV Show

Special Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. What does it really take to make wildlife land use financially sustainable? Veterinarian and impact-investing specialist Dr. Susan De Witt explores the economics behind conservation, from private conservancies to community lands. She explains how revenue models (photographic tourism, hunting, live sales, and wildlife meat) interact with property rights, wildlife user rights, and access to finance. We unpack the successes of Namibia's community conservancies, lessons from South Africa's private sector, and what it will take to channel capital toward conservation that pays people fairly and protects ecosystems.

Na raming maak 58 persent van Namibië se werksmag hul bestaan uit die informele sektor. Dit is onthul deur die uitvoerende direkteur in die ministerie van finansies, Michael Humavindu. Humavindu het vanoggend tydens die bekendstelling van die verslag getiteld Diagnostics of Informality in Namibia gesê dat die informele sektor se bydrae tot die BBP teen 2025 op 26,5 persent staan. Ten spyte hiervan het hy gesê dat die sektor tans in 'n baie bestraffende regulatoriese omgewing funksioneer, nie as 'n vennoot wat bemagtig moet word nie.

Wer sich auf das Abenteuer Auswanderung einlässt, der muss sich nicht nur um Haus, Hof und Auskommen kümmern. Der Mensch als soziales Wesen braucht Freundschaften, Bekanntschaften und Geselligkeit. Das sollte eigentlich bei den offenen und zuvorkommenden Schweden kein Problem sein. Warum es bei dieser Suche manchmal hakt, verrät uns Operngesangslehrerin Regine Köbler. Auf eine ganz andere Suche begibt sich regelmäßig Dieter Reisenauer. Er führt oft auf Safaritour Abenteuerlustige durch den namibischen Busch. Hier sucht man aber weniger Menschen, sondern Löwe, Elefant und Leopard. Was man alles im Busch wissen muss und wie hautnah diese Tiererlebnisse sein können, hören wir auf beeindruckende Weise.

Send us a textIn this episode of WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, Shahin Amini, Head of Investor Relations and Communications at Meren Energy (TSX: MER), joins hosts Tim Gerdeman and Jeff Robertson of Water Tower Research to discuss how Meren's recent transformation and rebranding reflect its evolution into a full-cycle, cash-generative exploration and production company.Amini details Meren's high-quality deepwater assets in Nigeria, its carried positions in Namibia and South Africa's Orange Basin, and upcoming catalysts including the Venus field development and infrastructure-led exploration. The conversation also highlights Meren's strong balance sheet (0.6x net debt-to-EBITDA), a tripled base dividend, and the company's strategy of partnering with industry leaders like TotalEnergies, Chevron, and QatarEnergy to pursue growth while protecting shareholder value.

Omer Bartov, an Israeli-American scholar and Dean's Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, reviews the definition of genocide as established within the Genocide Convention of 1948 as he analyses the trajectory of events in Gaza from 7 October 2023 to the Spring 2024 when the IDF moved into Rafah and proceeded systematically destroy Gaza with the goal of making it unhinhabitable for its population. Noting that the Knesset used 7 October as an opportunity to ethnically cleanse the Gaza Strip, he observes that Israel's actions proved unsuccessful since there was no place to push the Palestinians. This is the moment, Bartov observes, when the situation devolved into genocide, resembling many other genocides throughout the 20th century, which began as ethnic cleansing but ended up as the mass killing of populations. Declaring that by July 2025, a consensus had been formed among the majority of genocide scholars and experts in international law, he expresses astonishment at the fact that legacy media have still not begun to employ the term “genocide” to describe what is now an agreed fact by international experts. Historicising how ethnic cleansing often turns into genocide, Bartov offers examples from the Germans' ethnic cleansing turned genocide of the Herero in what is present-day Namibia, the Armenian genocide by Türkiye, where vast numbers of Armenians were pushed into the Syrian desert and perished, to the coextensive labour and extermination camps of the Nazis during World War II. Addressing the reality that many Israelis and Jews, when they hear the word “genocide,” they think of the Holocaust, Bartov criticises this mentality since the Holocaust has become a central theme within Israeli national identity since the 1980s. He contends that Israelis view the Holocaust as “not only something that happened in the past, it is something that can happen any moment. That we are always under existential threat…And that threat is represented by the Palestinians.” Bartov explains that this genocide is, in part, a reaction to fear within the core of Israeli identity that has resulted in Israel's mass murder of Palestinians, largely because Israelis view Palestinians as their existential threat.

With the inaugural edition of Gravel Burn in the rearview mirror, Payson sits down with Bradyn Lange for an overall recap. Due to illness, Bradyn wasn't able to compete in the pro field and instead dropped in partway through the seven-day event to capture some media from inside the bunch. Then, Payson, chats with Dan Craven, a former professional road racer from Namibia who served as Gravel Burn commissaire. He talks about his long-standing involvement with the event and his unique perspective on how it unfolded. This episode was brought to you by TrainingPeaks.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Wie wird man in einem Land empfangen, das einmal deutsche Kolonie gewesen ist, wenn man den Namen dessen trägt, der als Besatzer dort einen Völkermord verantwortet hat?

In this episode of The Midweek Takeaway, Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby speak with Colin Bird, Executive Chairman of Bezant Resources (AIM: BZT), about the feasibility study for the Hope & Gorob copper-gold project in Namibia. Colin outlines the plan to use multi-sensor dry ore sorting and truck pre-concentrate to an existing processing plant ~190 km away, delivering capital efficiency and faster ramp-up. The study highlights robust economics (NPV ~$46.2m, IRR ~62%) and confirms the plant can be optimized for productivity and concentrate quality rather than costly conversion. He also discusses expected 8–10 years of open-pit mining, moves to secure long-lead items, and the strategy to fast-track production amid supportive metal prices.

Vieles in Namibia entspricht europäischen Erwartungen.

Air Namibia is in 2021 gelikwideer met ‘n skuldlas van amper 900 miljoen Namibiese dollar, en die regering beoog om weer 'n nasionale lugredery te begin. 'n Voormalige Air Namibia vlieënier, Vijay Jha, is van mening dit beteken nie die ondoeltreffendhede van die verlede sal herhaal word nie. 'n Openbare-private vennootskap word voorgestel: 'n skraal, kommersieel gedrewe struktuur wat beskerm word teen politieke inmenging, maar in lyn is met nasionale prioriteite. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met Jha gepraat.

It's cold. It's wet. Maybe it's even snowing. Outside is always the best side, of course, but sometimes the only realistic option is to put your Bike on the trainer and get after it inside. Today's sponsored podcast sees Levy sit down with Marek-Martin Matyska, Product Director at Rouvy, to chat about all things indoor training. Founded in the early 2000s by two brothers in the Czech Republic, Rouvy has grown to offer thousands of routes across six continents, from legendary European climbs to North American epics and scenic tours of New Zealand. Have you ever ridden in Namibia? Me neither, but now you can teleport yourself to the coast of Southern Africa at the push of a button . Matyska explains Rouvy's total focus on realism, how they're able to include so many ride options, and whether gravel and singletrack are on the menu. He also details the new Route Creator feature that allows users to build (and edit) their own realistic video routes while adding augmented reality features, and Levy has to ask if he's able to add chasing UFOs or zombies for “extra motivation.” This podcast is sponsored by Rouvy.

In 2024 was daar 'n wêreldwye afname in ondersteuning vir partye wat vir jare die meeste stemme getrek het. Plaaslik het Swapo ook net 53 persent van die stemme in die algemene verkiesing gewen. Met die streek- en plaaslike owerheidsverksiesings op 26 November wonder politieke ontleders en ondersteuners wat vanjaar gaan gebeur, want opposisiepartye is ook nie sterk nie. Max Weylandt, 'n navorser by die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, het sy bevindinge in sy inligtingstuk, "Inside the numbers of Namibia's 2024 vote: Fraying Dominance, Fragmented Opposition", gedeel.

Today on The Travel Diaries we're revisiting a very special conversation from the archives with national treasures Si King and the late, much-loved Dave Myers, better known to millions as The Hairy Bikers.Si and Dave were my very first duo on the podcast, and what a joy they were. For more than two decades, they entertained Britain with their infectious humour, foodie expertise and shared love of motorbikes. Their travel and food shows from Asian Adventure to Mediterranean Adventure and Route 66 inspired countless viewers to see the world through flavour and friendship.When I spoke to them, Dave was in the middle of undergoing cancer treatment. He joined me the night before a round of chemo, having travelled down to London especially, which made their generosity of time and spirit all the more moving. Listening back now, after Dave's passing earlier this year, it feels particularly poignant to hear his warmth, wit and passion for life come through so vividly. This episode is a celebration of both Bikers' deep love of travel, of each other, and of the extraordinary journeys they shared with us all.In this archive chat, we travel together from Namibia to India, Argentina to Estonia, with countless adventures in between.Destination Recap:Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland, EnglandIsle of Man, EnglandPortugalNamibiaMadurai, IndiaSouthern ItalyBuenos Aires, ArgentinaPatagonia, ArgentinaValdes Peninsula, ArgentinaGrossglockner High Alpine Road, AustriaAtlas Mountains, MoroccoMexicoThe Ghats, IndiaJapanLithuaniaRiga, LatviaTallinn, EstoniaFinnish ArchipelagoSouthern TurkeyMachu Picchu, PeruNigeriaPan-American HighwayWith thanks to...Titanic Belfast - Discover the world's most authentic Titanic story at Titanic Belfast - where history, heritage and experience come alive.Thanks so much for listening today.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is visiting the White House for his third visit since US President Donald Trump returned to office. While Zelenskyy hopes for stepped-up US support in the form of Tomahawk missiles, Trump's newly announced second summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin could complicate matters. Also, Israelis are cheering the return of 20 living hostages, and the potential remains of another 28, but the deal will not bring relief to the relatives of those whose bodies cannot be found. And, a small population of desert lions in Namibia become the only maritime lions in the world. Plus, musicians battle for glory at the legendary International Chopin Piano Competition in Poland.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Paul goes to Namibia to check the cute WDH airport, and drive 3000km+ — and yes, before you all ask, driving the Skeleton Coast is everything you dream it to be (this country is stunning, and the NamibRand is perhaps the most beautiful place he has ever seen). He falls in love with Airlink (from their Embraer to their extensive safety talk, and they serve something called food, a forgotten art in Europe/North America), maybe with JNB a bit less (but that lounge there, woah!). Should you board when an aircraft is refueling? Maybe better than staying in front of it like Paul wanted (but the words of the catapion overrule him). Vinod does wide body bingo in Canada (there's one route always on time, listen to discover which!), and shares his South African Airways memories (the current one is a shadow of its former self). The last 777-300ER has left the factory, meanwhile the 777x is delayed, again (dire when compared to the speed of delivery of earlier designs), but it will be a success. SWISS is selling its famous on-board chocolates in stores, but be quick, it's only temporary (you can always dance the extra chocolate off at the Zurich Airport wave, which seems easier to access than the Narita raves we discussed in 149). Hacking the airplane wifi? Well, not really, but... And yes, like in every episode, we talk BA, and we mention FRA haha.We're on video if you listen to us to Spotify, or YouTube (this is nearly 3 hours, our record, so prepare to see our faces for that long!)Thank you to long time listener Garett Gaudet for his insights, here's his latest (excellent) MixCloudSee you in the next episode, happy flying! —For video, subscribe on Spotify or YouTube (or YouTube Music)Review, and rate us, on Apple PodcastsFollow us, and comment on: Instagram - Bluesky - Threads - Mastodon - Twitter/XComment, like, review, and rate us, on FacebookSearch for 'Layovers' on any podcast service (some direct links are on our website)If we're missing somewhere, or for any feedback, let Paul know on Instagram - Threads - Mastodon - Bluesky - Twitter/X

The global view from the frontlines of journalism, where every border tells a bigger story.  Commonwealth Club World Affairs welcomes the World Press Institute, which has been the premier organization in the United States providing international journalists with the opportunity to broadly investigate this country—its values, traditions of a free press, institutions, customs, and people. These nine journalists from across the globe are here because of the World Press Institute. This is the 60th annual journalism fellowship program.  Hailing from Argentina, Bulgaria, Canada, Egypt, Finland, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, and Namibia, these journalists represent the future of media and bring with them a diverse range of perspectives and experiences. Learn how these international journalists are reporting on a world in flux: where borders are hardening, alliances are shifting, and disinformation is redefining public trust. These journalists will share their notes on the dynamics of power in geopolitics, in tech, in media—and how these forces are felt on the ground back home. The journalists include (Argentina) Mr. Marcelo Silva de Sousa; (Bulgaria) Ms. Janan Dura; (Canada) Mr. Ian Froese; (Egypt) Ms. Eman Ahmed; (Finland) Ms. Nina Svahn; (Indonesia) Ms. Ardhike Setyaningrum; (Italy) Ms. Francesca Canto; and (Kenya) Mr. Njoroge Muiga; (Namibia) Ms. Sonja Smith. All are International Fellows of the World Press Institute. An International Relations Member-led Forum program.

Sharp - Own work, from Sharp Photography, sharpphotography.co.uk, CC BY-SA 4.0]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It's October at last, and that means monster month! To start us off this year, we're going to learn about animals of the Skeleton Coast, which sounds a lot more spooky than it actually is. The Skeleton Coast is a stretch of coastline 310 miles long, or 500 km, on the Atlantic coast of Africa. It's part of Namibia, a huge country in southern Africa that's mostly quite dry, with two deserts within its borders. Because the country gets so little rainfall, it has to conserve water for its people, animals, and crops, so the government is serious about conservation and natural resources. It's home to one of the most cutting-edge water treatment plants in the world, and since the government's establishment in 1993, it's been working to help farmers and citizens in general to practice sustainable natural resource management. It's also a beautiful part of the world, with amazing geography, and animals and plants found nowhere else in the world, so eco-tourism has been increasing, which helps the economy. Namibia is also home to the San people, who call the Skeleton Coast “the land god made in anger.” The northern part of the coast is blocked off from land by huge sand dunes, while the southern part is rocky. To get there, you have to cross a desert, and then cross a treacherous marsh that's hundreds of miles across. Then to get home, you have to go back the way you came across the marsh and the desert, because launching a boat from the Skeleton Coast is impossible if you don't have a powerful engine. The sea along the Skeleton Coast is treacherous, with lots of rocks offshore, extremely heavy surf, and frequent thick fogs. There are around a thousand shipwrecks visible along the coast, with the oldest dating to the 1530s, and thousands more documented that aren't visible or haven't been found yet. Ships still wreck there sometimes. Animals do live along the Skeleton Coast, especially seals. The brown fur seal, also called the Cape fur seal, has a huge colony in the northern part of the coast, which is a national park. The brown fur seal lives in various parts of southern Africa, with a subspecies that also lives on some islands off southeastern Australia and Tasmania. A big male can grow 7 ½ feet long, or 2.3 meters, and as you can probably guess from its name, it's mostly brown in color. Males have a short mane on the neck that's usually darker than the rest of its fur. It has magnificent long whiskers, especially males. The brown fur seal mainly eats fish, but it also likes squid and will eat other animals like crustaceans and even birds. It can dive deeply and stay underwater for over seven minutes. It spends most of its life in the water, mainly only coming out on land to breed, give birth, and take care of the babies. The seals used to be killed for their fur, but this was outlawed in Namibia in 1990 except by special permit, which has allowed the seals' numbers to increase. The Skeleton Coast is named that mainly because of the massive amounts of seal bones that fur hunters left behind after killing and skinning seals. Unfortunately, something the rocks around the Skeleton Coast collect are plastic debris, especially fishing debris like nets.
