A recent survey by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission showed 84% of Irish people are worried about the cost of living crisis…What can be done to improve things?To discuss, Kieran is joined by Economist at TU Dublin, Emma Howard, and Research and Policy Analyst with Social Justice Ireland, Suzanne Rogers.

Humboldt County just took a big step towards protecting our night sky! In August, the Board of Supervisors approved the Inland Outdoor Lighting Ordinance, regulating outdoor lights to limit light pollution and light trespass. This is a significant win for the dark sky movement and will require new development on unincorporated land to use light fixtures and bulbs that reduce light pollution.But this isn't just about seeing more stars — light pollution disrupts the natural rhythms of wildlife and humans alike. Bright lights left on at night can alter the timing of bird migrations, interfere with seasonal flowering cycles, and affect our own sleep cycles.Sylvia van Royen, GIS & Policy Analyst for Humboldt Waterkeeper, joins us to discuss the new lighting ordinance and how Humboldt residents can adapt their outdoor lighting to be friendlier to migrating birds and support the biological rhythms essential to our region's biodiversity.To learn more:Humboldt Waterkeeper Light Pollution FactsheetDarkSky Approved lighting fixturesDarkSky International's explainer on What is Light Pollution? &Glossary of light-related terms.Light Pollution Webpage from the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild AnimalsNew World Atlas of Artificial Night Sky BrightnessSupport the show

Dr. Pippie Hugues, Policy Analyst at the Governance and Democracy Division of the Policy, joins Bongani Bingwa as Cameroon stands at a critical political crossroads. President Paul Biya, now 92 years old, has ruled the country since 1982—longer than most Cameroonians have been alive. Despite surviving coups and crises, Biya has remained in power through military backing and widely contested elections. With a potential eighth term looming, questions are mounting about the future of democracy in Cameroon. Beneath the surface of official parades lies a country grappling with deep poverty, systemic corruption, and the unresolved Anglophone crisis. Rich in oil and agricultural resources, Cameroon’s potential is undeniable—but so are its political challenges. Dr. Hugues helps us unpack the realities behind Biya’s long grip on power and what the upcoming election could mean for the region. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

The prospects of a meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin may be crumbling faster than they've formed. The Kremlin says the US President and his Russian counterpart have agreed to meet in the "coming days". But the New York Post is quoting Trump's officials, saying this is not the case. Foreign Policy Analyst Jimmy Rushton told Mike Hosking Putin is burning through astonishing amounts of manpower for relatively little strategic progress. He says Putin thinks he can outlast the West, but Ukraine would rather fight than accept poor peace terms. Rushton says many people have taken what Moscow's selling and run with it, and it shows desperation from the Kremlin for it to pretend it is ready for peace.

This week on The New Arab Voice podcast we look at the state of the war in Sudan.It's been declared the worst humanitarian crisis in the world, with hunger, disease and displacement rife. Yet the fighting surges on with reports of atrocities in the Kordofan region that left hundreds of civilians dead last weekend, the UN reported.The two rival militaries, the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, are showing no sign of slowing down - and they have a few external forces to thank.So why is the UAE accused of involvement in the war? Who else is fighting for a piece of Sudan's mineral rich pie? And might the crisis be next on the list for the “peacemaking” Trump administration in Washington?To discuss all this and more, we speak to Hamid Khafallah (@HamidMurtada) Sudanese Researcher and Policy Analyst at the University of Manchester (@OfficialUoM), Hala Alkarib (@Halayalkarib) Sudanese activist and Regional Director of Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa, and Khalid Omer Yousif (@KHOYousif) Vice Chairman of Sudanese Congress Party and former minister of cabinet affairs in the transitional government.

Gem Montes is a Policy Analyst and Advocate at the People's Collective for Environmental Justice (PCEJ) in the Inland Empire. Upon realizing that the City of Colton, which experiences some of the worst air in the nation, has little to no public access air monitoring information, she partnered with PCEJ to create a Community-Based Participatory Research project called The Air I Breathe. Gem is a leader in grassroot advocacy. In 2022, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Riverside's School of Public Policy. While there, she received a fellowship with the University of California's Carbon Neutrality Initiative as an Engagement Fellow. Immediately afterwards, she received a fellowship with the California Climate Action Corps as a Heat Rezilient Fellow at Pauma Tribal Farms. Notably, she has accrued multiple certifications in tribal subjects. Gem's broad range of education and experience has allowed her to successfully navigate complex relationships and establish trust with government agencies, tribal affiliates, environmental organizations and community members. Her passion and commitment to finding solutions for the injustices imposed upon frontline communities results in work that is second to none. At an age when most are retiring, she remains eager to learn and continues to be a force to be reckoned with.

The Salvation Army says sanctions on beneficiaries which force people to find volunteer work for a few hours a week isn't the best use of resources. New 'non-financial' sanctions are set to come into force for beneficiaries who don't meet their obligations - including having part of their weekly benefit put on a payment card or finding volunteer work for at least 5 hours a week. But Salvation Army principal social policy analyst Paul Barber doesn't believe that's the right way to go for people who are struggling to find work. "There are already a lot of sanctions available... we're talking about a relatively small group of people within the total number of people who are receiving welfare."
