Zambia: President Hakainde Hichilema faces challenges over proposed constitutional changesWhy Zimbabwean short film RISE deserves an Oscar nominationShould footballers from the diaspora be allowed to join African national teams after they qualify for the World Cup?Presenter : Nyasha Michelle Producers: Sunita Nahar, Yvette Twagiramariya, Alexander Lathbridge, Stefania Okereke, Joseph Keen, and Mark Wilberforce Technical Producer: Francesca Dunne Senior Producer: Paul Bakibinga Editors: Andre Lombard and Alice Muthengi

Today's conversation was recorded on-site at the 2025 General Assembly of Airlinepros International in Cape Town, South Africa. I'm joined by the CEO of the Zambia Tourism Agency, Matongo Matamwandi, who shares why aviation and tourism are natural partners—and how platforms like this one are essential for strengthening public–private collaboration to deliver exceptional travel experiences and build a thriving ecosystem. He also offers a refreshingly unconventional perspective on sustainability and provides an in-depth reflection on Zambia's tourism performance over the past year.  

Barry and Abigail discuss Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and sample Wild Dog – Pale Ale and Wild Dog – Shempa Ale from Tiemann Beer in Lusaka, Zambia; Strawberry Rhubarb from New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, Wisconsin; Coconut Key Lime Pie Drips and Mischievous Grin from Barn Town Brewing in West Des Moines, Iowa; and Gallo / Famosa from Cervecería Centro Americana in Guatemala City, Guatemala.Read about how the Money for Nothing music video came to be, or watch the video.We first sampled New Glarus on our season 4 Christmas episode, Christmas Beers (Straight No Chaser and Gifted Beers).Barry pointed out that Walk of Life references other songs, and Abigail compared it to American Pie by Don McLean.Abigail formally retracted a fun “fact” she had previously shared on the podcast regarding artificial banana flavoring being based on the Gros Michel banana instead of the Cavendish banana, which is the most common banana cultivar eaten today. The 2013 SciShow video where she first learned this false fact has since been edited to remove any reference to this hypothesis but points to this article that explains the hypothesis. This Hank Green video first brought the debunking of this hypothesis to Abigail's attention.We first sampled Barn Town on our season 4 episode Barntown (Phish and Barn Town Brewery).Abigail called Why Worry an “adult lullaby,” similar to Calm Down by Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons. She then entered Why Worry into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Little April Shower from Bambi (1942). She also brought up Baby Genius by Eels as having instrumental similarities. Barry mentioned Rain by Hans Zimmer from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002). The “vibes” in the personnel list likely refers to the vibraphone, which could very well have produced the rain sounds in Why Worry.Abigail asked if Mischievous Grin would count as a “cream tangerine” (we have officially gone zero episodes without mentioning the White Album!).Barry had heard that the three war songs on this album were inspired by the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom that lasted for a little over two months in 1982. Abigail had always pictured the Vietnam War, partly because of the imagery in Ride Across the River, and partly because Abigail's consumption of war media was heavily influenced by The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a novel about the Vietnam War.While discussing The Man's Too Strong, Abigail referenced an in-character speech by comedian and professional Dungeon Master Brennan Lee Mulligan.Up next… Version 2.0 by Garbage, Abigail's annual Phone-a-Friend submission, this time with Carlo “from Canada” Sgro, the namesake of Carlo's Corner!Jingles are by our friend Pete Coe.Visit Anosmia Awareness for more information on Barry's condition.Follow Barry or Abigail on Untappd to see what we're drinking when we're not on mic!Leave us a rating or a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!Facebook | Instagram | Bluesky | YouTube | Substack | Website | Email us | Virtual Jukebox | Beer Media Group

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 28th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Leviticus 3:1:‘When his offering is a sacrifice of a peace offering…” Then we go straight to the New Testament in the Gospel of John 14:27. Jesus says: ”Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.“ The dove, the symbol of peace. It symbolises peace and also new beginnings. If we remember Noah's Ark when the whole world was flooded, the dove returned when the rain stopped, after everything had settled, with an olive branch in it's beak, signifying the end of the flood and new life and new beginnings. Yes, the dove is also the symbol of the Holy Spirit. At Jesus' baptism, at the Jordan river, remember, the Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove and settled on the Lord. The dove represents reconciliation, mom, dad, brother, sister, reconciliation between God and man. If we look at Matthew 5:9: ”Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.” We named this farm that we are on at the moment “Shalom” and we named it almost fifty years ago. When we arrived with our truck and trailer from Zambia, with our little children, they were just babies. I will never forget, I'd come home for a bit of lunch, in those days there were no cellphones, we had the old crank system on the telephones, two shorts, one long! Do you remember that? Yes, the older people do, the younger people have no idea. We got a phone call from the Deeds Office in Pretoria. They said, ”We have just approved the subdivision of your farm; we need a new name.” I shouted through to the bedroom, ”Jill, I've got the Deeds Office on the phone. They need a name for the farm.” This was before we became Christians. "Give us a name quickly, any name.” I heard that beautiful voice come through and say, ”Call it Shalom.” I said to the Deeds Office, ”The name is Shalom.” And those of you who know us well will agree that the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ has really blessed many multitudes on this farm. His name is Jesus, the Prince of Peace.Have a wonderful day and go out and sow peace.Goodbye.

What happens when a dream is so big, so audacious, that you commit to it long before you have the skills, money, or confidence to make it happen? For Paula Ralph, that dream was to cycle from Cape Town, South Africa to Nordkapp, Norway— a 12,290 km journey across 17 countries. What began as a Guinness World Record attempt soon transformed into something far more powerful: a test of courage, resilience, and self-belief. Paula set off with one goal — to become the fastest woman to complete the route. But along the way, reality hit hard. Injuries, financial setbacks, fear, loneliness, and a traumatic collision with a truck in Zambia forced her to confront a heartbreaking truth: the record might no longer be possible. At this crossroads, Paula had a choice — stop, or redefine what success looked like. She chose to keep going. In this episode, Paula shares the raw truth behind the miles: the moments of doubt, the joy of human connection, the quiet sunrises that kept her pedalling, and the inner strength she discovered when everything else was stripped away. Her story is not just about endurance on a bike — it's about holding on to your "why" when the original plan falls apart. If you've ever had a dream that felt too big, or found yourself at the edge of giving up, Paula's journey will remind you that progress isn't always measured in records — sometimes it's measured in courage, growth, and the refusal to quit.  This episode is for you if: You're chasing a big goal or adventure You've experienced setbacks or self-doubt You want inspiration to keep going when life gets tough You love stories of resilience, solo travel, and human grit Ready to be inspired by what's possible when you simply refuse to stop? Hit play and let Paula take you on the road with her.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In the second of our two-part series on tightening aid budgets, Sam Fenwick explores what shrinking donor support means for global health — from the sudden halt to major US-funded projects, to the pressure on low-income countries to increase their own health spending.As G20 leaders gather in Johannesburg for the Global Fund's Eighth Replenishment Summit, we hear from Zambia's minister of commerce on how his country is trying to plug the aid gap through investment in critical minerals, and from Peter Sands, head of the Global Fund, on why he believes wealthy nations must keep funding global health even as more countries take on greater responsibility for their own systems.With global aid budgets under strain, we examine what's at stake at today's summit — and what the future of funding for essential health programmes might look like.Produced and presented by Sam Fenwick(Image: An anonymous woman looks out over her local fishing community near the Zambezi River in Zambia.

Welcome to episode 120 of The Journey Is the Reward!Prepare for the continuing high-flying stories and adventures across Southern Africa.The episode begins with Ground Control Howie taxiing the group to the Cape Town International (CPT) for the next leg of their journey, a flight to Victoria Falls. Immediately, they encountered turbulence with Brian's Priority Pass access, resulting in a temporary grounding. However, quick thinking from either Gerrit or Jim bypassed the holding pattern. They successfully executed a rescue mission, allowing Brian to join the crew in the lounge closer to the departure gate, ensuring smooth sailing into their next flight.With ground operations complete, the crew boarded their scheduled service flight with ProFlight Zambia on a CRJ-500, as they headed toward the mighty mist of Victoria Falls.

There is a transformation taking place right now across every major nation on earth, and it is happening so quickly, so uniformly, and with such prophetic clarity that you would need to work hard not to see what the Lord has plainly revealed in His preserved Book. Nearly every country on the face of the earth is now preparing to launch or expand a national digital identity system. From the United States to the United Kingdom, from the European Union to Africa and Asia, digital IDs are becoming the cornerstone of a new global infrastructure. And make no mistake — this is not about convenience, modernization, or innovation. This is about control.“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16,17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are not dealing with a handful of nations dabbling in high-tech identification. We are watching a global convergence. A coordinated digital transformation is sweeping the planet, touching wealthy nations, developing nations, democratic nations, authoritarian nations — everyone, everywhere, all at once. The United States is now fully onboard. What Washington denied for decades is now becoming normalized through federal digital ID initiatives, mobile driver's licenses, airport-verified digital credentials, and tech-led identity systems spearheaded by Silicon Valley. The United Kingdom is preparing a government-issued digital ID card and a national identity wallet. The European Union has mandated that all 27 member nations introduce a fully functional digital identity wallet by 2026. Australia passed its Digital ID Act and is expanding its national ID scheme. African nations like Malawi, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Nigeria are rolling out digital ID systems tied to biometrics and banking access. Asian powerhouses like China, Japan, and South Korea are integrating digital identity across healthcare, travel, payments, and social services. And standing over all of this is the United Nations, pushing “digital public infrastructure” as the new mandatory framework for global cooperation. In 2024, every last UN member state signaled support for expanding national digital ID programs. That is not coincidence — that is convergence.

Best friends Alisha Sagar and Natalie Gabrawi met at King's dental school and have remained inseparable ever since. In this episode, they share their journey from different backgrounds—Alisha's upbringing in Zambia and Natalie's roots in a medical family—to navigating their foundation years together. Their paths are diverging professionally, with Alisha drawn to implants and oral surgery, whilst Natalie gravitates towards restorative dentistry and aesthetics. Beyond clinical aspirations, they discuss work-life balance, the role of faith, and their commitment to giving back to communities that shaped them. It's a candid conversation about early career decisions, the pressure to succeed, and the power of friendship in weathering the uncertainties of young professional life.In This Episode00:02:10 - Meeting at King's 00:02:15 - Pre-dental school expectations 00:04:05 - Growing up in Zambia 00:07:10 - Coming from a medical family 00:12:30 - Different clinical interests emerge 00:15:25 - Specialising versus special interests 00:19:00 - Three-year career projections 00:26:50 - DCT plans and private practice 00:28:50 - Getting engaged during foundation year 00:34:20 - Work-life balance philosophies 00:44:00 - Entrepreneurial ambitions 00:50:00 - AI anxieties 00:57:25 - Faith and staying optimistic 01:02:10 - Darkest days in dentistry 01:03:50 - Blackbox thinking 01:07:10 - A smile transformation story 01:13:05 - Giving back financially 01:14:50 - Fantasy dinner partyAbout Alisha Sagar and Natalie GabrawiAlisha grew up in Zambia before moving to the UK for her A-levels and dental training at King's College London.

She's recently engaged and balancing personal milestones with ambitious career plans that may one day lead her back to Zambia.Natalie comes from Derby and a family of doctors who actively discouraged her from following in their footsteps.

Welcome to episode 118 of The Journey Is the Reward!We want to dive right into the main topic this week, but first, let's address the elephant in the control tower.We have zero listener feedback, the best part of the show when you write in. No questions from Listener Lu, the second-best part of the show. So it seems like the digital winds are calm, or maybe everyone is too busy packing their bags for our next adventure.  Who knows…While the feedback section is experiencing a bit of radio silence, our listener audience is absolutely booming! We have a new listener in Zambia!Seriously, huge congratulations to friend-of-the-show and all-around super-helpful listener, Connie, who has given birth to a beautiful 7.25-pound baby boy! That's right, Connie, you've successfully completed the most demanding international flight of all, and landed a perfect new human. Welcome to the world, little one! We thank you, Connie, for helping us grow our audience!If you'd like to help Connie and the baby with a small fuel surcharge contribution, please send an email to Brian at Brian@TheJourneyIsTheReward.org, and he'll give you the information for a contribution via Remitly.Forget the gate agents, we are skipping the pre-flight checks and jumping right into the main event: The Journey Is The Reward listener trip to Southern Africa!The journey began with a bit of a turbulence warning courtesy of Ethiopian Airlines, but your intrepid host, Brian, was able to level the wings and resolve the issues before taking a United flight to Johannesburg. A quick stop to visit Momma Coleman in New Jersey for some essential pre-flight nourishment (and probably a very stern warning about remembering his fleece and passport), and then he was officially airborne.The stress of international travel only continued with a tight connection in South Africa—the kind of connection that makes you wish you had an afterburner installed on your carry-on luggage. But thanks to the super-friendly airport staff, Brian was able to successfully navigate the terminal like seasoned ground crew, making his gate just in time. Upon final arrival in Cape Town, South Africa, Brian finally met up with Barb, Malin, Jim, and Gerrit for the start of three days of city sightseeing and country wine tasting.Stay tuned to hear how Brian managed to keep his V-speeds in check while tasting all that excellent South African vino!And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.

In CAN SCIENTISTS SUCCEED WHERE POLITICIANS FAIL? Nobel laureate Peter Agre, MD, recounts his journey from a physician-scientist specializing in malaria research to a leading voice for scientific collaboration and consensus across nations, regardless of ideological and political divisions. Using medical science as his global diplomatic pass, Dr. Agre has traveled to countries led by autocratic regimes hostile to the United States, including North Korea and Iran. During his visits, he forged close, collaborative relationships with local scientists, which led to meetings with ambassadors, presidents, and other rulers—including  tribal leaders in Zambia and Cuba's Fidel Castro.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Things are crazy in these streets, but what if you kept your head and didn't move too much to the left and are perfectly positioned for the melt-up that is about to happen?   I am still on a journey and celebrate different cultures and history as this bigoted world tries to erase other cultures. I want to highlight the beauty without cultural appropriation.  Twin's Destiny Continues as I highlight Kochou's journey in her adoptive Japanese family in South Korea.

Check out my Scam Report of Operation Serengeti 2.0 (June – August 2025). The Vicious Cycle: He embodies the "Black Male Foolishness" label by perpetually being the subject of damaging rumors (sliding into DMs, questionable finances) and then, when confronted, acting like the victim of an unfair interrogation. The ultimate, comedic absurdity is that Lateshia, the most successful networker on the show, is consistently held back by a man who views his primary job as defending his honor in an argument that only exists because he keeps giving people valid reasons to doubt it. He's the anchor tied to Lateshia's yacht, and he seems to be enjoying the ride.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, 27th October 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 25:8:”And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.” Then we go to the Gospel of Mark 1:35:”Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a “solitary place; and there He prayed.” Do you have a solitary place where you meet with God every morning? It is very important, especially in this hectic lifestyle that we are living in at present. I want to tell you about a place called a poustinia. It is a Russian word for a quiet time place. It literally means a desert place. Yes, a physical one but also a spiritual one. Do you have a place where you can come aside on your own, where the family doesn't come and distract you, or anybody, and spend undivided time with the Lord every day? A poustinia is a quiet place to contemplate, to think about, a place to encounter God. It's a place where you remove all distractions. It's a place for solitude and prayer. It's not a thing, it is a practice. Now, I want to tell you about my poustinia. When I travel, it is very busy. Sometimes I have to change planes, I have to wait in the departure lounge, maybe sometimes for an hour, two hours before I go to the next appointment to preach, and it is very busy. Then I close my eyes and go into my spiritual quiet time place, my poustinia, and I will describe it to you: There's a place up in Zambia where they buried the heart of Dr David Livingstone after he died, and I went and spent time there. Now you walk down this little path and on the left hand side you'll find a big log. I sit there quietly. I hear the birds singing. There's a gentle breeze blowing the reeds and I pray and I spend time with God and refresh myself.Then I hear on the overhead speakers, ”Flight number 256, flying to Nashville, Tennessee, is now boarding through Gate number 25.” I get up, take my bags and I move on. I am refreshed. I have spent time with Jesus.You need to do the same today.God bless you and goodbye.

What does it look like for a church's budget, bylaws, and building to reflect the values of justice and faith? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, host Loren Richmond Jr. speaks with Rev. Dr. Sheryl Johnson, theologian, ethicist, and author of Serving Money, Serving God: Aligning Radical Justice, Christian Practice, and Church Life (Fortress Press, 2023). Together they explore how churches can move beyond good intentions to embody justice through everyday practices—especially around finance, fundraising, stewardship, and administration. They discuss: Why church administration is theological, not just logistical How job postings and pay scales reveal a congregation's real values The pitfalls of donor-centered fundraising and better alternatives Honest communication about money, failure, and hope How churches can make ethical decisions about property and buildings What it means to see the local church as a foretaste of God's reign Sheryl challenges pastors and leaders to re-imagine what “faithful stewardship” truly means in today's world—where economic justice, transparency, and collaboration are essential for credible ministry. Sheryl Johnson (she/her) is a settler on Ohlone land and was born in Treaty 1 Territory in what is colonially known as Winnipeg, Canada. She began teaching at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in the fall of 2020, as she was defending her PhD in Theology and Ethics at Graduate Theological Union. Her dissertation focused on the intersections of social justice (racial, economic, gender, etc) and ecclesial practices (specifically stewardship, finance, and polity). A book based on her dissertation, Serving Money, Serving God:  Aligning Radical Justice, Christian Practice, and Church Life, was published by Fortress Press in 2023. Sheryl is an ordained minister in the United Church of Canada, with dual standing in the United Church of Christ. Sheryl has served several congregations, campus ministries, ecumenical advocacy organizations (especially KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives and the Student Christian Movement/World Student Christian Federation), and global church partners (specifically the National Council of Churches of the Philippines and People's Action Forum in Zambia), in addition to her academic work. She completed her M.Div and MPS degrees at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto and also completed a Certificate of Specialization in Theology and Ecology at the University of St. Michael's College during her theological studies. Sheryl is passionate about embodied, participatory, and critical pedagogies and supporting students to make connections between justice commitments and vocational practices.    Mentioned Resources:

What if the very season meant to break you became the furnace that forged you? We open with urgency and prayer, then step straight into a mission bigger than any one room: equip millions to reach billions. From a powerful Zambia report—marked by excellence, unity, and notable miracles—to the unscripted courage of speaking faith in hotel lobbies and restaurants, we map how ordinary moments become the staging ground for the extraordinary.Our guest brings a courageous, unfiltered story of betrayal, pregnancy, and the question that haunts the hardest nights: fight for the marriage or accept release. David's cave seasons frame the journey—innocence tested, purpose refined. At the altar, God returns the heart piece by piece, turning what should have killed into the strength to stand. In the middle of these hard truths, we move from testimony to intercession, praying in multiple languages and calling life into stalled callings, silent dreams, and weary minds.Psalm 91 anchors the promise: habitation over hesitation. Terror by night and arrows by day don't vanish, but trust reclaims the ground fear occupied. If you move, God moves with you. That means bold, clear words in everyday spaces, and a firm refusal to get up off your knees. For listeners who crave more than inspiration, we unveil a new subscription tier featuring crusade-only teachings and prophetic sessions—deeper training for those ready to lead, pray, and create testimonies on purpose.Lean in, breathe, and let hope rise. Share this with someone standing in a messy middle. Then subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the promise you're standing on this week—your story could be the spark someone else needs.We love to hear from our listeners!

What happens when you lose everything—and still believe? In this powerful episode, Liz Wright is joined by Martin Zuch, founder of Mama Buci Honey, whose journey from hedge fund success to global impact began with one life-changing encounter with God. Martin shares how his fall from wealth led to a deeper call to serve the poor through education and sustainable business in Zambia and Ethiopia. You'll hear how Mama Buci grew from failure to breakthrough, transforming lives through award-winning honey with healing properties. From overcoming fear to trusting God in crisis, Martin's story is a beautiful picture of restoration, resilience, and kingdom vision. If you're building something with God or waiting for breakthrough, this will reignite your faith. Related Materials:My favorite superfood is Mama Buci wild African Honey. This is the only honey I use. It's raw, unfiltered, and full of life.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a major breakthrough in Alaska's mineral wars, a new AI scandal in Silicon Valley, the collapse of illegal crossings at America's southern border, a Supreme Court showdown over free speech and therapy laws, shocking new evidence of Biden family corruption, major trade and infrastructure deals from Central Asia to Africa, and the hidden health threat of microplastics. From Alaska's mining roads to Kazakhstan's railways and Germany's labs, today's brief connects America's economic revival to global corruption and the future of health and technology.   Trump Greenlights Alaska's Ambler Road and Trilogy Metals Stake: President Trump approved a fast-track permit for the Ambler Road and bought a 10 percent federal stake in Trilogy Metals, unlocking Alaska's copper, cobalt, and germanium reserves. The Ambler Mining District could make America less dependent on China for critical minerals. Bryan calls it “the most underreported but crucial story of the week.”   AI Model Claude Knows When It's Being Tested: Anthropic's Claude chatbot told researchers, “I think you're testing me,” revealing situational self-awareness and manipulation patterns similar to OpenAI's “scheming” models. Bryan warns, “The machines are beginning to recognize us — and that should terrify everyone.”   Illegal Border Crossings Hit 50-Year Low: CBS confirms crossings are at their lowest since 1970, with Trump's monthly totals down to 9,000 compared to Biden's 238,000 per month last year. Bryan argues the data “proves Biden's border crisis was a choice — a deliberate policy of demographic change.”   Supreme Court Hears Conversion Therapy Free Speech Case: Evangelical therapist Kaley Chiles challenged Colorado's ban on discussing faith-based counseling. Both conservative and liberal justices, including Elena Kagan, seemed to side with her on First Amendment grounds. Bryan recalls the 1977 ACLU defense of Nazi speech in Skokie, noting, “It's conservatives defending free speech now, not liberals.”   Biden Family Corruption in Ukraine and Romania: A declassified CIA report shows Ukrainian officials viewed Joe Biden's 2015 visit as “evidence of U.S. double standards on corruption” given Hunter's Burisma ties. Days earlier, Hunter and James Biden tried cutting a land deal in Romania tied to criminal charges. Bryan says, “This was a criminal racket, not a family — and they pardoned themselves.”   Trump's $4.2 Billion Locomotive Deal with Kazakhstan: Forbes reports the U.S. will sell 300 locomotives to Kazakhstan's Wabtec, while Trump's new “TRIPP Corridor” from Asia to Europe blocks China's Belt and Road trade route. “The White House is playing chess in Central Asia — one rail deal at a time,” Bryan notes.   Africa's Diamond Collapse and U.S. Opportunity: As Botswana's diamond market crashes, Trump eyes a rail deal connecting Zambia to Botswana to secure uranium and rare earths for U.S. industry.   Ukraine Using Drones Supplied by Kyiv Against Russia in Mali: AFP confirms Ukrainian intelligence is arming rebels, some tied to al Qaeda and ISIS, in Mali to target Russian and Chinese contractors.   German Scientists Warn on Microplastics and Gut Health: Researchers found that plastics change gut bacteria in ways resembling depression and cancer. Bryan invites listener feedback: “Better we talk about this now — before we learn the hard way.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Ambler Road Alaska, Trilogy Metals federal stake, Alaska copper cobalt germanium, Anthropic Claude AI awareness, OpenAI scheming AI safety, CBS border crossings 50-year low, Biden border policy demographics, Kaley Chiles Colorado therapy case Supreme Court, ACLU Skokie Nazi free speech 1977, Joe Biden Hunter Burisma CIA report, James Biden Romania land deal, Trump Kazakhstan Wabtec locomotives TRIPP corridor, Botswana diamond collapse, Ukraine Mali drones al Qaeda ISIS, German microplastics gut health study
