"ESPN FC daily in the house group a is done and the Netherlands unsurprisingly win their group and Senegal, the African champions without sadio Monet. Ecuador and return to the knockout stages for the second time in their history last time was in 2002 and by the way, they made it to me. They wouldn't find it in that one. Welcome to ESPN. See daily. Mister electric and I came out and will join us later on, don't you worry everybody but of course we have us and our crew here. Now and of course one of the negative mark welcome mark augie, let's probably you. I think that you're in some kind of 80s locker room. I'm not sure. Give me your reaction to this group specifically for what Senegal just did amazing with outside of your mind as well. Yeah, well, I'm in the media center at the whales England game. So obviously the group pay has a lot of significance for Group B because the winners of Group B will play semi gold in the next round and the runners up in Group B, which could be England USA Wales Ori, man, will play the Netherlands. So lots of significant stuff we've been watching. I think watching that game, if I was England at the top of the group and to win the group, I think Senegal opponent. I think Senegal African shampoos like you say, obviously slightly weaker without Sadio Mané, but they shot tonight that they're a very good team, a very difficult team to be. We've got a lot of pace like strength and I think in many ways I'd be more concerned about based in Senegal than the Netherlands of the next one. I think Senegal a bit more of an attacking force than the Netherlands. So winning the group are coming second. I think it's debatable as to which were the advantages. I would love your opinions on what Mark just said because obviously it's been, you know, relatively doable, easy, I guess, with all due respect to everybody else with the Netherlands. But in terms of that runner up, I mean, Senegal are proving more and more value is scoring today. By the way, at 31 years old, and a 162 days becoming the oldest player to score for sending out a World Cup. What are your thoughts on Senegal? Now grabbing this runner up. And their chances in terms of facing the winner of Group B I think Senegal after funds the distancing is 100%. I think they're probably the only team in this group who actually had three really good performances. I think that against the Netherlands some will feel that they deserved more. They were a little bit unlucky, but they did the job against Qatar and did a jump against today against Ecuador. I think they made Ecuador at times look really, really average and pedestrian, whereas in the previous two games record or you thought well, there are tough side and maybe someone believing that they'd find such a chances in terms of getting through, but so they're all just looked the better side. And I think going into the Group B games today. They'll have to take some of our seriously. And for me, it's very, very impressive, but this is a Senegal, they are the champions of Africa. They are the reigning Afghan champions, winning it for the first time and with a manager who was playing the last time that Senegal made it after group stage in 2002. So there's somebody there who has a positive experience, the team is in a great moment. And yeah, they are very, very dangerous. They seem to fear nobody. And ultimately, whoever they come up against in that next round, I think they're going to be in for a very tough game. Absolutely. Let's stick to that point that you just mentioned, native Mark augie, no African. By the way, no World Cup has ever seen three African nations in the knockout stank. You're sending us made it, Morocco is looking good. Ghana as well. I mean, it's quite an achievement for these nations to do this. Yeah, I think Morocco should do it. They've got Canada in the final game. And I'd expect Morocco to win that game. Ghana V Uruguay saw me who knows how that's going to play a lot, but in 2010. So it would be great for the game if Garner made it as well. I think we see in the Champions League note African players are big important place in the European game. And I think it will be good to see more African nations make it. There's a knockout sturdy. So listen, Senegal for me are the best of that group. The African champions, that goes without saying. And Nadine mentioned that how fearless they are and how boldly I think this should turn the clock back a little bit, but I am in the back in 1990 with England played Cameroon, Cameroon had that real fearlessness as well. And you know what, when Africans he's played with that kind of abandon and they just go for it, they are extremely dangerous. I think, like I say, whoever wins Group B they'll be more concerned about synagogue and the Dutch because I think the quicker the stronger the faster the ball, they've got more gold, even without money. So it's a big, big game for England and the U.S. tonight how they finish the group because there's not really good hope to be honest. Yeah. Next, let's quickly just focus on the Netherlands. Can you give me your reaction from the group stages and these first three matches, as I mentioned at the start, you know, pretty doable for them. And obviously, you know, colleague dak Po, fantastic, we're going to welcome Milan bandana very soon to discuss more about the Netherlands. But just your initial reaction about Louis Van Halen, what he's done with this team coding background. I mean, what a player he is. What do you get their chances as they face the runner up of Group B? I think they'll fancy their chances again, but I think the biggest story itself is called for him to be on this stage and to be thriving in the way that he is. I think that for me is the biggest positive because there have been elements of their performances, which haven't actually been that impressive. I think someone say they were lucky to get the first one against Senegal, then they played against Ecuador and they were really under pressure and that's a suffer for long parts in that game. And even today, obviously, it's kind of feels like a dead rubber in some ways, but to beat Qatar to know. It's not the most apprentice impressive football that you've ever seen. And it's not like they're creating a ton of chances either. So it feels like something's missing from them. But the fact is they finished top of the group. They're going to get the chance to play is the runner up in another group. And I believe with the manager that they have in the place that they have that they can be successful and will be successful. But I think we're getting to the point now where some of the performances have to be better. But when you have someone like gag pros and your team, then why would you not believe that you can create something a bit magic score some goals, you know, buy again back into fitness as well. They'll like their chances, but I don't think many people like them outside of those in that sort of dressing room because it's not really showing you much so far to make you think they can go quite deep in the tournament. Qatar by the way, you know, just sort of starts here for you. Sick -6 goal differential. That would be the worst goal differential by a host country in the history of the World Cup. The first host nation to lose all three matches at the World Cup. And I think it's a good chance to see how his nation did against the host Milan van dongan comes in, love to have a Dutch representative here. Milan, welcome to the show, my friend. Give me your thoughts over the game against guitar.

We know that in everywhere, but the difference is that when you go to the streets with an eye and knowing the indicators of trafficking persons, you see differently. It's a different view. It's a different way of seeing the crime scene or of seeing a person that might be under a situation of trafficking. So what is your role? What is the role of UNO D.C.? Actually, we add, let's say, forces to the government of Senegal, it has to be absolutely something that has to come from the state. The member state in itself, they have to be interested. They have to have the will to counter trafficking persons. But you are not particularly brings more technical capacity because we are covering many, many states around the globe. And we see different forms, different we have experienced different things, so we can always bring more capacity. We can always bring best practices. So that's the role of you in Odyssey. And in Senegal, particularly, what we are doing is specifically training preparation of standard operating procedures assessments and a lot of training actually. We also do. So at the moment, you are working on standard operating procedures for the identification of victims and investigation of cases. Does this mean that these procedures are not in place at the moment, or they need to be updated? I think they need to be updated. And as I mentioned before, you have to have the counter trafficking view. So when you go to the ground, if you know the indicators of trafficking in persons, and if you know adequately, if you know the concepts, if you know the difference, for example, between situations of sexual assault and sexual exploitation, trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation..

"This is Connor Lennon from UN news. In the West African country of Senegal, the most common form of human trafficking among children is forced begging. Aline Pedro, a crime prevention and criminal justice officer from the UN office on drugs and crime is working with authorities in Senegal on procedures to prevent investigate and prosecute cases of human trafficking. Louise potterton spoke to the anti human trafficking expert for UN news. Miss Pedro began by explaining why children are becoming victims of this crime. They are from families that are very, very vulnerable, leaving poor conditions. And they are unfortunately sent sometimes even by their own families, to back in the streets, sometimes they are under the authority of their own parents begging the streets, sometimes they are under delta of third persons. If they are under the authority of a third after third party, it's even a third person it's even more complicated because then you even can include other respects in this exploitation. For example, some are forced to beg whereas they might be even also under sexual exploitation or they might be even forced to work. So you have their conflation of forms of exploitation. What is known about the third party, so are they specific group of people or an organization which is trafficking children for the purpose of forced begging? This is, let's say, a very delicate topic to speak of, but we have this the so called the quranic, let's say, the quranic schools, some persons that they claim to be quranic teachers, they exploit these children. So children are taken to the quranic schools on the basis of, let's say, trust because their parents, they give the children to the current exclusive thinking that they will go to a regular school and they will they will study. The content and they will also be fed because this is also something that is in their mind and also that my children at least has the meals that regular meals during the day..

"Point lead over mainland with a game in hand and they would have had a four point lead over Napoli. And to be honest, mainland did absolutely nothing for the first half. Hot shot from Sandra tonali, the distance that he may as well not have had. It was kind of felt like snap padding. One shot on target. It wasn't even a saga, I think. It was a nice strike. It was nice. It was okay. And then there was a similar one in the second half early second half, just on May as well shoot from here again. This was actually very similar to the Dortmund game that would talk about that a little bit later, but Dortmund had I think two shots from about from a combined yardage of about 70 yards, which were their first two shots on target. Even parasitic open scoring, with his lovely goal, actually. Oh, my goodness. I'm telling ugly corner and just a nice controlled side foot volley into the potting. It was like playing pool and just potting it like through a crowd of light balls around it, wasn't it? Great technique. Interval didn't look really in any trouble at all. No, they're breaking ground pretty well. They would, yeah, yeah, they were really like forcing the issue for the second goal. But then, Olivier took over for four minutes.

"You get that time off, right? The major talk you get like a few weeks is the basket in it. You win an Afghan and you're like back in training in a few days. So I feel like you're not given the time to really enjoy the scale this achievement. But if you look at how close the Afghan finals typically are, how often are they going to penalties? Over the years, this is a fixture that is extremely tight generally speaking. And a part of that is because of the extreme pressure, right? What it means to these generations of players, and it's funny because it's every two years Afghan, but it's one of those strange tournaments where it's so intense that every two years in a strange room feels like every four. Because if you think of all the we think of people like dieter drug, I don't think they give a one at drop. Certain players are elite players that play every two years as lamp on the Afghan. It's really an extraordinary thing. So I also think with this tournament victory, it was the culmination of a journey I would say. For the coach, alu sisi, that's why I want to mention first because he obviously played in that great team 2002 a team that was amazing. They went to the first team final. Yeah, went and also went deep in the World Cup. That's a year. Lost two of the key players with a key people involved brunner matzo coach, the great coach passed away. And papad bubba diop, who scored the winner against France. So this is almost like this is very much a victory for not only the current, but the ancestors. It's a very spiritually nourishing victory in a way that I didn't fully realize until I started looking back over the law. What Senegal has brought to world football?

You know, Dion talking to you it just makes me wish everybody could have the travel experiences like this. Do you ever think about the value? Imagine if every American could have a couple of weeks recognizing that the humanity and the joy and the love you can find in a continent that we really don't appreciate. We don't understand. I think that's exactly right. You know, you make me think I met a guy at a party in the pre COVID days one time who was telling me that his mission in life was to buy passports and find a range for and take kids to the passport office and give kids passport. So at least they had my kids who were disadvantaged at least they had this thing that if they had the opportunity to go abroad, they wouldn't be stopped by the kind of government red tape of not having a passport or being able to afford it. And I thought that was really smart because I do think if we all branched out and explored our curiosity and learned about different places, we would have such a different vision of the world. That would be an investment in national security if we could all get out there and have an empathy for the other 96% of humanity and in our travels in so many countries we would encounter what you talk about in your book in Senegal, a tradition called teranga. What is taranga? Yeah, taronga is so it's so cool. I'll just give you an anecdote. You walk down the street in Senegal and I would walk past all these gated communities a lot and the security guards would be sitting outside with a giant plate of fano and fish and carrots and potatoes and all this other stuff on top of it. And they would beckon me over to share some of their meal with them. That is strong. It's like the spirit of community and sharing. And that's really, really a national value system for Senegal.

"But Senegal also has been over hunted and trees cut down and you know that kind of thing. But there are actually lions that still live in Senegal, which is most people don't really realize, but they're maybe like 14 lions that are still there and they're really trying to bring back this special kind of West African lion. Of course, Senegal was part of the slave trade and a lot of the strong men were just taken away and it just gutted the society. It is rich with gold and ivory, and that was interesting for the Europeans. Today, you mentioned they grow a lot of peanuts. My understanding is there are trade policies and treaties and tariffs and so on that are kind of designed to keep undeveloped countries less developed by encouraging them to export their material, their resources raw, but not processed. In other words, you can sell peanuts, but you can't sell peanut butter because the people who buy the raw peanuts can make the peanut butter somewhere else and really get most of the profit. Do you have any sense of that? Is there anything to that? Well, that might be true. I mean, the places that I visited really were sustenance farming. They were people who were selling peanuts at the market for themselves. And I never saw a giant peanut operation. I know there's another really cool kind of grain that's being grown there that's called fonio. There's a chef called Pierre Chan, who is bringing fonio. Actually, you can buy it at Whole Foods now. It's kind of like a cross between quinoa and couscous. And it's very climate change friendly, and that's grown in the south. And that's becoming an interesting kind of new business. And climate change friendly is important. They've got towards called climate smart agriculture now that's being employed in Africa. It's critical. You mentioned earlier, Senegal is blessed by not having a war. And I learned that we're doing such good progress against extreme poverty and in the future, they hope that we can overcome hunger, but the one place where there will be hunger is where we have societies wrecked by war and conflict. It seems kind of potluck in Africa where there's war and where there's not a how do you see that? Because a lot of Africa is in crazy wars within the countries and between countries. It's some areas. I mean, I think when you look at Africa as a region overall, really were makes up a very small portion of what's going on there. And I think a lot of different things fuel that government neglect, religious extremism, climate change, even a lack of jobs, all these things are interconnected for sure. And in some places, it just takes off. But really Senegal has a really, it's really relaxed. People don't have weapons for the most part. Maybe some machetes, but that's literally only for farming. So there's just not a lot of violent crime at all. I mean, it's a really nice society. I would think that's part of your sort of mission as a journalist is just to let people know the image we have of Africa is far from the reality and when you travel there, you can recognize that it's actually quite a lot like other societies where we'd be much more comfortable.

I really, really grew to love the call to prayer. Even though it rings that like 5 or 5 30 on it's just kind of lows through the air and it's like, okay, morning started. It was almost like the Unitarianism of Islam. I love that because that is kind of chill, you know? More accessible, I think.

Because <Speech_Male> also their wage <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> cap goes up <Speech_Male> again so they can start <Speech_Music_Male> spending a little bit more. <Speech_Male> But yeah, man. <Speech_Male> I'm really intrigued <Speech_Male> to see it and obviously <Speech_Male> the first <Silence> game that we might see <Speech_Male> is <Speech_Music_Male> Barcelona Atleti <Speech_Music_Male> <Advertisement> on Sunday. <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> Yes, <SpeakerChange> we <Speech_Male> will see. <Speech_Male> Is there anything <Speech_Male> else you want to shout out <Speech_Male> before?

Those are the ones that <Speech_Male> really stood out to <Speech_Male> me like the <Speech_Male> rest of the world. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Yes, absolutely. <Speech_Male> Actually, one more shout out <Speech_Male> just because I think <Speech_Male> he's the most <Speech_Male> wholesome transfer. I mentioned <Speech_Male> this to you on the phone, actually, <Speech_Male> Josh globe <Speech_Male> Vogue going from <Speech_Male> full spur. <Speech_Male> To Bordeaux, <Speech_Male> just a really, really <Speech_Music_Male> lovely man, someone I just <Silence> got a little bit <Speech_Male> <Silence> going up <SpeakerChange> there.

Oh, probably Afghan yeah, Afghan semi. Burkina Faso Senegal, Senegal prevailing three one, but shout out to Burkina Faso. Do you know what I love about this? Both teams brought it throughout the tournament. Yeah. Burkina Faso had been bringing it for years to be honest, like they've been punching for years. And the thing I love about this game, you look at the score line, the reader does not reflect. The balance of what happened in the sense that Seneca deserved that victory, don't get me wrong, but the goals arrived really late in this one. And Burkina Faso played like they went toe to toe. Like possession shots all of that were like ten to begin if I said 18% of all possession was fairly even as well and it wasn't just breakaway football begin if that's a really brought it. And they help possession high up is really impressive and the really the great thing about this game was that I said this before with Afghan, the superstars showed up, they did not mail it in. It's really difficult sometimes these tournaments so much expectation. And this is a great generation like alien CS that fantastic job with a cynical. And there's a feeling of what happens, man. He has the thing. This is legacy coaching at this point. This is legacy country to maintain that intensity across tolerances he has to keep that core strong to bring a new players and tap them contributing alongside the established greats is really something. And also he's been responsible for every single final. They've got to in Afghan as a player. He was there in 2002 and.

"Then like Shaka said you're waiting for the pain adrenaline must kick in and I was on the stretcher, 5 minutes before half time. I came in Glen road to the west and boys come in to see me off time and I sent it to the gaffer. I think I've overreacted myself. I think I'm fine. I had no pain and the doctor Don was sort of the sort of lacks text where it takes your detect your ankle one way you need the other and not it's supposed to move and everything just moved and the dock went, you won't go in nowhere. You've done your ACL and I thought that is career over. And I went out to see, I had a guy in London. It was a really good surgeon. I had Richard stedman who's been in mind me about 5 times in Vail outstanding surgeon, but I went to a guy called I went to Canada Vancouver and the guy was amazing. Took half my hamstring away, used that as the graft. Brutal rehab, he never think you're going to make it back. You've got to go to the well. It's painful every single day, and then you get through about 6 8 9 months and then somehow you find your way back with a lot of physiotherapy. Didn't affect you mentally don't like going into challenges. Yeah. It did done because, you know, in a footballer's mind, all you want to do is get your boots back on so there's a slow process without boring you know you're running straight lines. Yes, I can run on a straight line so you do that for a couple of weeks. Right, can you put your boots on and running a straight line? Yes. Right, you ready for twisting and turning? Yes, a couple of weeks of that, then a little bit of ball work and your time's up. You sort of into 9 months of work man, lot of gym work. But there's nothing like, you know, most of my rehab was like volleying the ball like laces. And everything was fine. I could do it. I could do it. I could do it. And then I was 9 months and I was physically fit, not mentally fit, and it was a ball in front of me in the physiognomy when gone whip that into the top corner. And the last thing I wanted to do was whip a ball to I thought it was going to sort of tweak my knee. I was terrified, absolutely petrified to doing it. And it took me weeks on end. Mentally done what's it like for those first few months like it must be very lonely in the sense that you're normally associated with your team members, part of the squad training every day and you're kind of almost like the leper in the corner that no one wants too much to do with. That must be tough like 24/7, like watching games and things. Was it difficult? Very, but the worst part is that early on where once you've had your surgery and the lights are probably tell you, once you've had your surgery in your back, everyone actually that makes the first of you. So first personal come in and you'll say, oh, how's your knee? What was operation like? And then you're boring with the story. Here goes out the door. Then another one comes in. By about 5 players in, you're like lads, can you like, can you stop asking me? It's like, I'm doing my own head in. I'm probably doing your riding. You're not really that interested. You just being kind. And then as you said, as you said, you're looking out the window. A shocker knows you it's like a Chadwick. When you train an important cabin and it's horrible and there's no heating on and you're looking through a glass window, just sitting on the bike and you can see all the boys training giggling in laughing doing all that normal football things and you're sitting there and you think. Crikey, I'm too I'm two months in to a ten month injury. And honestly, it's lonely. It's horrible. And then you get to a point where you've got to have a good physio and we had a good physio I mean Shaka John Green and John Green got me, I think 8 and a half, 9 months into rehab and then he said to me right get on all day, I have two weeks off, go and do what you need to do, sit on a beach, go mad, have a drink, whatever you've gotta do, just get it all out of your system. When you come back, be ready to work. And then that was it. I got two weeks off. I came back about day ten months right and back. Meanwhile, Ali never really had a big injury, and that's what you get for being the hardest working man in 2000. To the point that, hey, wait a second. There we go. Hey. I know my heart is working man. To the point that Don was making, though, you know, what's interesting is that and I know it sounds reasonable, but when somebody has a major injury like that, once you go through the pleasantries of asking how he's doing and the recovery and what have you, part of the reason as to why other players, at least from my perspective, you leave those guys alone, it's because while it may sound unreasonable, you kind of think you know what this is somewhat contagious. I don't want anything to do with this. I don't want to be around this guy who just did his knee. I don't want to go through that process. Let him be and let him see. But this sort of thing is contagious and I don't want to be a part of it. Wow. It's a football thing, you know, Dan, the lads will tell you. If anyone's got crutches inside of a football ground, no one will touch anyone's crutches. Not for any money, not for any money on the planet. You can hold them across as you like, sorry mate, no. He just forced us. Sorry. Need to get up. Put together. We did that. We do know that. I'm not touching these coaches. I'm not touching it. Final question. It's a great question. Okay. Did Shaka become a popular baby name in Trinidad and Tobago after mister his slots, storied Korea. I've never knew anyone growing up. I never knew anyone named Shaka. Right. And then probably one of the 60s and there was a family moved in a few hours after months, suddenly the name of Shaka jumps up. And I know a couple more now. So 2006, some of those heroics against Sweden. I don't know what people named the kids. He said no one's reached out to you and said I was named after you. No. No? No. I brought a few people from before, even before named their pets after me. Well, yeah, we had so many work to rabbits were called shack around his life. Yeah. Wow. He was a bit strange. What do you Robinson? You're right, don't was wrong. I'm just trying to think of the guy who named these rabbits. After Shaka hislop. Strangely? Don't think too hard, though. It's okay. I miss that.

"Was only spurs at the brought in any new faces in the January transfer window. Of course, they got rid of some as well. We saw pens and corps and kula sevsky come in from The Avengers, meanwhile dele Alli, and on belly. Peel and losel, of course, all move down. Named him still with us to welcome Don Hutchinson to the show with, well, don't for you, these transfers, how much do they move the needle with regardless of their chances of qualifying for a top four place? I think a little bit done. I think the worry for Tottenham fans when they're seeing the names coming in and cool as espion the good players, but they don't score goals, because he's a bright young player who plays on the right hand side. If you ask me, he's better than Lucas Moore. I would say probably nobody's got a lot of time and room to grow because he's got the talent. He probably just needs a little bit of confidence. Ben tanker is a little bit easier on the eye than I think Hoyer or Oliver skip or Harry winks. So they're not going to score too many goals. I think what's more impressive, I think from Antonio Conte's point of view and Daniel Levy, not so much as spurs fans, it's the players of let go and probably got into that books and a little bit of dead wood that they've just got rid of and thought let's try and make a brand new start. So overall, I don't think it's too bad. I don't want you reckon. Yeah, I think overall is fair enough. I think some of the players have left, they were very much to know our favor. And then when you sort of see the set up of the team, I think Conte knows what he wants from the side and he believes I'll get them instead of top four. So as Brian two players who will be able to sue his vision and as a consequence, you know, they're going to come in and they probably going to adopt very quickly. Hopefully there won't be too many engines and stuff like that. But I think the manager himself with more confidence in terms of a top four finish now that he's got two players in who he really believes in. And therefore, as he clearly doesn't, so good let's see them. And at the moment, they have enough games in hand to get themselves in, so that's helpful. So let's see how that goes.

"Them so far Tatum, or our expectations just a little too high. I don't think they're too high because I don't think they have to play that well. It's not one of the best Egyptian sides that we've seen for many years, but the fighters are still in the semifinal. They find the ways to grind out results to just grind out performances in some ways. So going into this game, they go in and is the underdog, and Cameroon are a whole. What Cameron also I've had so much pressure. When you look at Egypt and if won the tournament 5 times before, they have one of the best players in the world in Mohamed Salah. And then we'll organize but I think for me if Cameroon sort of set the tempo, but I think it's still playing to their strengths, but the fact is, you know, when it comes down to Egypt, you live right there by accident, and it can Soco pressure, and if it can give the ball to someone like sala, as we saw in the quarter's final, you can make a big, big difference. It's going to be a really, really exciting game. And I think you'll ever get sort of fun. It's going to be a good match up for Senegal. Scenario bust is it? That simple. Yeah. With all questions. And every time I've seen Egypt play this tournament, that's exactly what I thought. If you could somehow stifle Mohamed Salah, I just don't feel they have enough fire power going forward. But then they come up against Morocco in the last round and North African dub. And I thought that was easily. He just best performance of the tournament. And I just wonder how much emotion of that job as I spoke about. Played into Egypt's house because I just felt that Salah aside. They have been that disappointing. In this tournament up to this point. So right now, despite the issues I've come to have that native is discussing, I just feel at home, they got the job done. They'll be goals in it. For both sides, but I feel Cameroon are the one who got to equipped to school three four. Interesting, you use the word pressure there, of course, is how you say it's always extra fresh you need them in these sort of ties. Yeah, there is the certainly is but then I think one of the players were saying they're trying to find the positives within the pressure because they know that everyone in stadiums rooting for them. They do have a rich history. I think they've won the tournament 7 times. But playing at home, it's a different matter. But if they can score that first goal, the atmosphere be incredible. As you see in the build up to the game's atmosphere is really great. The funds are in there during the warm up, they're wearing their colors and it's exciting. Yeah. But, you know, at the end of the day, easier it's going to go out there and try and stifle that. But I think there's a reason why Cameroon are favorites to make it to the final. And as I say, once that crowd gets going, it's great. And also.

"Between these sticks. And they are looking like the side of a couple years ago that got to that final. Algeria's has made him was discussing. Now all of a sudden, we're Senegal looking like they can score goals with Senegal's threatening and playing with peace and playing with purpose. They are going to make for a really interesting prospect for whoever comes up against them. From a Burkina Faso, obviously, you know, going into this game is underdogs and aid and no one be surprised that they lost this tie, but they'll be so disappointed in Shaka rightly said. You look at the goals they conceded and they were just sloppy mistakes. Yeah, they really were the really worth, especially the one which led to the money assist. They playing into their hands. And then at the end, you can say, well, they're going for the game a little bit. And they're unfortunate because the player slits. But the next thing before you know is Sadio Mané is running through and you go and you know exactly what that means. But it's a shame. And for me, just before Senegal scored, the game was getting a little bit Burkina Faso didn't really have the belief that they had earlier in the game. And then they were punished for it. And then the goal is called it too nil. That was one of the few times where they actually committed a ton of bodies into the box. So I think at this sort of level, even though they sort of matched them up for most of the game, the fight was in key moments that they seemed to really have the belief. And then again, so that's kind of goal side, which is so organized. You know, you've got an apple defender PSG defender. You've got PSG midfielder. You've got Monet, one of the best players in the world on the field. And they're incredibly well organized. You need to have the belief. And you need to have things go your way. But unfortunately for them, they didn't. Looking at this side and you used the word organizer, you have to feel that they are the most complete team in this tournament that we've seen certainly at the back. Certainly with that organization. Yeah, 100%. I think that second favorites for the tournament. But they've shown it's on a flow throughout its own, because they can see it on the goals, even though it's called quite a few as.

Because when someone's they'd be as much money as you have. What kind of peppered with the authentic language. I did exactly now. I know you probably hear a lot of people say you know what i did what you told. No i went and called my cfo. All right. and. I said listen. I just talked to this guy and i went tomorrow and i said i want hoping to get trouble. I said i want a half million dollars in this and you can buy over a couple of days but i don't want anyone who's this guy was your. Thank you and i studied before it wasn't just like you know i didn't just off the tournaments but said this guy is compelling i even use and i don't know whether you have any but the brokerage you suggested and i mentioned the money because it's never happened to me before i bought a lot of stocks in my life but i wanna thank you. Some the reason i called is it. Can i please come on your and thank you because it happened. It happened just as you said. It also happened much faster than you said. But i'm very grateful. Grateful mike kits so thank you very. Well listen as as many people who watched our first episode together i think noted The most compelling piece of it was how open minded you were and how intellectually curious you are on. I think that is something that people forget is important in the investing world. So i can yell and scream from the rooftop all. I won't but it takes courage and conviction for you to do something about it. So it doesn't work invoked by the way i mean you can say well i'm sucking up sucking and just a tremendous respect. A lot of what you said to me. I of course told others and is there things that you would say. I mean i always do the door. So limited number. I always knew that there should be protection. And i regard it as an asset class. But i i have for years said that you should have go and i think what i had going for me was the recognition. That what you're saying is what i really searching for with gold. All but gold media goal is that is subject to many vicissitudes is subject to a mining issues. It's frankly are subject to fail in many cases. Where do you think that's what's going to happen. Do you think that people are gonna drop gold by bitcoin. Or what do you think's gonna happen now. If they listen to me going to drop goal. I've been saying kemper senegal since one thousand nine hundred eighty three and now say five percent gold piper centric and. I did not say that before. I talk with you. I had thoroughly research. I was skeptical on our skeptical. Frankly because i said you know what. I thought okay with my goal. This is the dog new tricks thing that i want. I run up against with the web with the wall street. People like they're constantly saying. Oh listen you know. You're old baby boomers forgotten. I guess to do with how young your mind is. And i listened to you a friend of mine go said i heard you pop a cup hops. The smartest damn straight and do what matters is how old you are. It's whether you're young enough in hearing someone who knows more than you and gonna love. What you have to do is accept the fact that someone who's more now we did in school. It's funny you chemistry and you guys were juice chemistry. And you're going to get blown. I walk into a bitcoin class. What do i think more than the bitcoins i. It's different from chemistry class. No different from an engineering class. I will do the progress. M when i got not schooled but talk by i said what am i doing not protecting myself in what i have been saying. That people could be hyperinflation. But even if there's just plain old inflation why not get in and i did. The thing that have is confused about was was this notion that help your currency versus asset class. Because i think that i am. I'm conflicted and i'm conflating. You can help me say what it really is is. I think that there's three things people are using it for right now right so you have people who are using it. As a medium of exchange people are using historic value and people using it as a speculative asset right. Those three things serve different uses for different people. But i think that a currency obviously historic value. It's hard to deny that people are storing value. I think that's pretty. Well accepted the digital whole narrative. And then when you look at like on chain transaction volume right in some days now. It's ten twelve fifteen billion dollars in a single twenty four hour period of transaction volume. That's putting it into trillions of dollars on annualized which know visas. These guys are eight to twelve trillion dollars in annual volume. So you're talking about maybe twenty five to fifty percent of the largest card networks in the world Super using it now. What they're using it for is very hard to determine but they're using some sort of medium of exchange and then i think the third one and probably the one on focuses on is the speculative nature. People are absolutely in some cases buying it because they think it's gonna go up in us terms and they're going to sell it at a profit later. It's i think that what we gotta figure out here is what's the dominant use case or. Most people speculating or most people using it as four value or most people using it needham of change. My guess is when you look at the data. Sixty percent of bitcoin hasn't moved in the last twelve months. So that tells me that the majority is being used as a store of value over everything else today. Now what happens in the future will find out. But that's how i kind of think about from a use case perspective is it. A currency is an asset. will technically. It could be both right right. Well you know for me because of my my here. Something is all dog. I always said the people. Listen if you could ever ever ever be a situation where you can play with the houses money you take what you put in then your blast and you never have to touch it. And that's what. I'm don neurological may have only took. That took out the money put in. But now i've been i'm never going to touch upon. I'm not. I may never because you traced data scenario for those of us who those of you that watch it you chase down scenario. That doesn't stop at one hundred thousand and a lot of people laugh. I didn't it. Was the twelve thousand. And i started thinking i've gotta get in before it got to fifty and i went home and told my wife i said lisa. I'm doing this thing. And she said why described there since fiber talk. You sound mesmerized. I said no. I i sent. Educate these are two different things. It's not been as rush. It was educated and the course that you laid out made me think you know what it isn't just a car. I borders currency. But i realized it was the store value and a better store value i was using and did i have the belief that it could grow up. Go and i did believe that. It could be speculative staying power but more importantly what i realized is ideal with the company square and instead of saying that they arrive this way. I knew that this cash app people kids are buying a little business. Schnitzel is gone. They're buying a slivers of bitcoin. And i said to myself you know what i want to be with them because they represent future but i also recognize they may be doing for whatever reason but i can be part of that way too and not feel that we've is is a boss. It's not was speculation. Not after the way that you late young you laid it out. And i am sure that you can lay it out for just in one minute. You've gotta just lay it out again or capsule probably not fair but why you know exactly what may be portrait.
Entrepreneur on FIRE
Emerging Opportunities and Exciting Business Lessons with John-Paul Iwuoha
"Now. We are talking about africa. I wanna know john paul. Why why do we need to keep africa on our radar very interesting question. So one one thing that keeps me. Loyal to entrepreneurs on fire is the quality of stories and experiences of ultra preneurs. Who've made it that's one big reason. Why listen and. I'm also sure that's why many people listen to the show but interesting is what being on entrepreneur means that you're able to live in the now and also prepare for future so it's almost impossible to think about the future and nothing about and here's why when you look at the population of the world. Africa correctly has the youngest population of people. Right now sixty percents of people on the continent of the age of twenty five. So this is more or less looking at china. Before china became china up to date china more or less the second biggest economy in the world the factory of the world and all of that so you can imagine that people who saw china. The china became china. Actually the ones who got in on the meat of the game. So that's exactly what africa represents but more importantly there have been events in the past couple of years that have put africa in the centerpiece. The very most the most recent one which is very interesting is covid now all the time most companies have built their supply chains around china and south east asia but then when it hits it was obvious that supply chains with very vulnerable. And if you're going to diversify your supply chain. It's impossible not to look at africa if you're looking at affordable label if you look at them. The truck symmetry of the continental either north america or europe. And what are the means. Most countries on the continent either speak english or french and these are more or less global line. Which is you're going to penetrate any of the big markets and. It's really now happening. Because what the chinese are doing is the chinese. Market is starting to specialize in advanced high-tech stuff. I most of those low cost production that brought business the whole of storing from america. When are beginning to see going to places like vietnam. Bangladesh and other countries in southeast asia. But then you cannot forgo a population of one point three billion people which is what africa presents and what we're seeing is some companies setup accretions within the african continent places like rwanda at the opium ghana senegal. And what they're doing is they are preparing. These guys are digging for the future and one interesting. That's happened in the last four years in america. Is the people in africa. So in america when you think about africa the image that comes to mind is charity and philanthropy. Africa needs. Needs help and help and help. So the approach of the americans this time and even europe has been to help africa give africa aid. Give them all of that. What the chinese are doing is they're coming with more or less trade and business and things. What africa needs really because you have this population of very young people enterprising people. I mentioned that sixty percent of the world's uncle beats at arable. Land is in africa so in most parts of the world with maxed out the land space. Yes we're doing. We're using technology and other means to increase the yield on the land. But when we're talking about virgin space. Federal land arable land. Most of it is still in africa. Still cultivated and we're looking at a global population that is set to double back at least by the time we reach two hundred fifty or more according to the un and if we do not keep pace with globe with population growth would amount of food were producing then the world is going to be faced with serious threat of hunger so these are just a few examples of why africa needs to be on your rita. Yes so thinking about now. It's great but you're thinking about the future you need to remember that even before could hit five of the top. The top ten fastest growing economies in the world when africa. These are not really things. We've seen the mainstream media. Why i'm happy that chain. Is that the approach of the chinese in africa. Doo controversial is a big difference. This guy's coming here boots on the ground and they're dealing with the market. The previous relationship with africa has been to deal with africa's governments give african governments money for age and they develop africa unfulfilled years. It's never happened instead. It's helped enhance corruption. A sense of entitlement and dependency so most of the problems never get so because that's free money free money fluent in from europe money flowing in from north america so what people like us exist to do is to show that the people we should be voting. For with our money is the entrepreneur's they're the ones who have the incentive and the motivation to really solve africa's problems and guess what's global money starting to call me and i'm sure many ago minova listeners. On on on entrepreneur no stripe the big global player in in payments strike just acquired an african company. Niger company for two hundred million dollars. That's a major exit and it's stories like this that are starting to prove that africa is not a charity case. Africa is opportunity. The programs are trying to solve through eight. Actually need to be solved through entrepreneurship and the process. We create more jobs more wealth and greeted big happier world john. Let's talk about what you see as the most interesting opportunities that exist right now. I mean you talked about a lot of opportunities. I love how you really are hammering home. The fact that entrepreneurship is what is going to turn africa around and really bring that continents into the as we move forward into twenty twenty one and beyond but specifically what are the one or two most interesting and fascinating opportunities in the business world that you're seeing right now. The first interesting one is more or less. I talked about it earlier. In terms of africa's potential to produce food because right now we're looking for the next food basket of the world and one interesting that africa offers is the or what's we've we now know as superfoods so for example there's a grain that's grown in west africa. It's a green code for new now. This green is so rich in cultural significance for example when the tombs of ancient in jim ships are more or less opel excavated amongst other materials. Like honey. and things like that four new for new f- who is one of the greens that it that the ancient egyptians actually put in the the pyramids in the borough chambers of dead feroz. That's tell you how important it was back. Then this is like one of the longest growth one of the greens has been grown the longest in history almost five thousand years now. The reason why new is important is when you look at the american market and european market more or less developed world and you see how important health and wellness is this all about eighteen. Organic food. Gluten free food and things like that you announced that to see if like for new is actually superfood but in africa is grown by people in africa eating by people that i start to see what america has done with them a green assira like we know what which is more or less breakfast zero before quinoa became like a blockbuster serial in america it had the same profile as phone. You in south america. So what we're beginning to see. Is they celebrate to ship in. New york is named spear pm. He's now taken for neo his packaged. It's not just in its physical formats but in the narrative that used salads and last year. I think it's early this year. It got the national distribution across the united states in whole foods. You know to distribute this kind of food and new just one. I know listeners may be familiar with moringa which is another superfood. it grows in the wild in africa. We really take you for granted over yet. But then we've sent entrepreneurs coming here and repackage it into something that selling like a lot because it resonates resonates with the health and wellness movements the big trend going on in the

Saving Sea Level Records: What Historical Records Tell Us About The Rising Ocean
"So lauren you sent me a picture of one of these century old title logbooks and it's so cool. It's really detailed. You can see where it says one. Am someone's written thirteen feet one fifteen. Am fourteen feet one inch in this. Really lovely old penmanship tracking tied. Did people really do this. Twenty four hours a day every day of the year they did. They had technology. That actually made it easier though In the late eighteen hundreds they developed an automatic system which had this float that rested on the surface of the water and then fed information to kind of a pen that recorded the movement so then people just had to read off the values and put them into the ledgers and this was done in other places to lake near hillary island. The port of liverpool also has a really long running title record. That makes sense because this was the era of ships rights. Watercraft was the way that people and things got around. Yeah exactly you had a lot of ships going in and out of port and so they were shipping companies. That had to keep track of the tide so it can be done safely two day. Some of those old records are archived at the permanent service for mean sea level which is an organization in the uk that gathers ocean data worldwide Andy matthews a data scientists. There told me the data are pretty reliable. You know most of the time. Those woman over on point is a little hand square school saying they. They sweet because the Tyja for was sick. You get little insights now with him. Everybody needs a sick day right. Of course andy says they're trying to organize a bigger effort to find these records. Because you know since kind of obscure they're hard to find yet but it can be anywhere these kind of things now in libraries from people that we all kaisei done coin. Doug well they are. Yeah this is quite the quest and an even bigger issue. I imagine is that when they find them. The data is still stuck on those pages. Yeah his colleagues scanned about sixteen thousand pages. But the numbers are on the page and they haven't been digitized so they're really not usable by scientists. They're trying to use computers to do it through character recognition. But i mean you saw that writing right. It's kind of like the script and the formats can be really hard to decipher so india's hoping that the public will help he recently put the images on zoom verse. A website and so volunteers can kind of in and and read the numbers. Type them up. I love this approach. I mean we're all bored at home looking for something to do this pandemic so why. Not some historical data as tree right. Yeah i mean data entry for a greater good seriously but to get into the nitty gritty of it. Why exactly is an important to look at data from the eighteen. Hundreds to understand sea level rise today an into the future right. What does that matter. Yeah right. I mean it has to do with how complex sea-level rise is because it's been caused by a number of different things. I mean i. You got glacier's melting temperatures causes them to shrink and that water runs off into the ocean and the same thing is happening in greenland and antarctica. Where there are these massive ice sheets on the land and there's so much is melting in gigi tons tapping increasingly fast. And i know that oceans are also rising because the water itself is warming up and hotter things expand so the water slick taking up more space. Yep you got it and actually. This is kind of cool. Sea level rise did slow down in the nineteen sixties and seventies because that was the era of dam building around the world. When you know when these big reservoirs were being constructed. They held back so much water. It was actually measurable. Ooh that is so strange and it really shows how we humans do impact the oceans. That's like a tangible detail of how quickly we can do that. It's a huge scale. But it's not really a factor anymore because you know dams aren't really being built at the same rate these days got it. Yeah anyway since one thousand nine hundred there's been about eight inches of sea level rise and by the end of this century. We couldn't be looking at three to six feet of sea level rise or even higher depending on how much carbon humans emits but. that's globally. The water is rising at a different pace depending on where you are. Yeah how exactly does that work. Because wouldn't the phil evenly kind of like when you fill a bathtub. And here's where it gets a little weird. The earth is slowly changing slowly getting a different shape lake. You know when you've been sitting on the couch while and you kind of get up and the cushion rebounds like morphs back into its old shape. Yeah not all couches but sure theoretically Well okay that same thing happens to the earth's crust During the last ice age Kind of started waning. Eleven thousand years ago. There was a lot of ice on canada and greenland super heavy and was pushing down the earth's crust since that melted the crust has been slowly rebounding. And that's actually not good for the east coast especially around the mid atlantic region. Because you know it's on the same tectonic plates as canada and greenland and when one side goes up. The other side goes down So what you're saying is where i live on. The east coast is on the lower end of the see-saw basically your thinking about that slowly. I mean the east coast is seen more sea level rise than other parts of the country. And then there's a whole bunch of other things that can cause that to you. Know ocean currencies big things that span hundreds of miles in the ocean. They cost the water on one side of them to be higher on the other side. You know so. Because of currents and gravity the oceans themselves are just kind of lumpy which is why sea level rises different everywhere. I am learning so much right now. You're basically saying is that sea level rise is local essentially and if cities want a plan for this and figure out what an who is at risk they'll need tailor-made information for their location. Yeah that's where these historical records come in. You know they reveal what these geologic processes and ocean conditions are doing in each place right right and i signed us refine their computer models. Which are those high powered ways that we get forecast about climate change. I spoke to scientists. Tomas friedrich's at nasa's jet propulsion laboratory about this and he said local records really matter. If we don't have that information for these see to be like a few feet off the local records of sea level so especially when we try to projects like high water levels of like extremes sea levels that's how we call them It's very difficult to to get an accurate picture of that but there is a big issue with a historical records. They already have almost all of the ones that have been digitized. Come from europe and north america So what you're saying is we gotta find more places. More hillary islands so to speak with historical sea level data all around the world. Yeah and this is a problem across many kinds of climate data. actually the southern hemisphere hasn't been covered as well with things like whether stations and other kind of data collection historically So there's just this big effort to find these historical records outside of europe and the us in argentina. They're working to digitize records from nineteen o five that were taken at the port of raise But to go back farther in some countries it means looking at the records of former colonial powers that took control because when countries like the uk and germany and france extracted. Huge amount of resources from colonies often through force. They did it largely through shipping colonialism stealing and keeping a record of it yeah pretty much so right now in france the national hydrographic service is digitizing these title records from dozens of their former colonies from madagascar vietnam Some of those records though aren't as long running you know they were gathered. As part of geographic mapping or you know to study an area where they were putting in port project. But i spoke to one person who is working with the french to stitch together a longer running record dating back through his country's colonial history marbella unika for seafood unique is from cameroon and he's a phd student in france right. Now he started in german archives. Because that was the colonial power in the late. Eighteen hundreds until france took control so he's gathered the french records as well and then he the cameroon records after it became independent in nineteen sixty. Yeah that's really interesting. Project and just a clear example of how the legacy of colonialism continues to impact science today. Yeah yeah i mean. It's digging through. His legacy is how he's kind of finding these records And there's really only one other long-term record in africa and that's from the car senegal so he knows cameroon could be crucial for improving global climate models But it could also be really helpful for cameroon itself. Nieto's just told me that. The country's largest city douala right on the atlantic coast and estuary and it's extremely vulnerable to flooding already. I'm just last year. There was a huge flood that displays thousands after really heavy rains. So when you add sea level rise to that it just makes the flooding issue worse. So he's hopeful that the historical records he's finding will lead to more detailed forecasts about just how fast the ocean is rising there because twala like other cities needs to start preparing now communities need to decide whether to move out of the way or build some kind of protection and

Officials battle online misinformation along with wildfires
"Are these historically large wildfires continue to rage out west fifteen people have already died a whopping four million acres already devastated across California as well as Oregon where you can see right here why the mayor there declared a state of emergency, the governor also publicly pleading. For the trump administration to support its governmental emergency response officials on the ground, say Donald trump failing them through fashion. Some critics compare his sort of public denial of even admitting what's going on with the wildfires that posture to of course, is deceitful approach to cove it. Who reports today are the things are even worse than all of that because right wing conspiracy theories supported publicly by Donald, trump are leading to dangerous activity. Again, we're living in a time where misinformation can be dangerous to your health and officials are warning. They're getting flooded with false phone calls fanned by Q. Not which incorrectly try to blame the fires on trump's perceived opponents. Translation what happens on facebook doesn't always stay on facebook a real world emergency political propaganda is making it harder for these firefighters to get the real information warnings they need as they go out and do their work and risk their lives. That's why sheriff's departments are pleading with people with messages like this just stop spreading rumors stop calling nine one one with political pranks. They say it has now gotten to the point where it is hampering their bandwidth to respond to the fires in real emergencies. It's twenty twenty. So sometimes, we have to state the obvious around here. Do not call nine, one one with Q. Non trumpy fake news propaganda. You do have the right to say whatever you want. Typing it up on the Internet you do not have the right to deceitfully thwart firefighting in the middle of this very real crisis for those calling from the West Coast some of these calls have been traced. If you need to think about it like this. Misinformation is expensive in the house you save could be your own. As mentioned, we're thrilled to have married trump live in the hour but I want to begin with some of our analysts, Jason, Johnson professor of politics at Morgan, State University and Katty Kay Washington anchor for BBC News. Good evening to both you. Evening Jason There's much talk about misinformation and people don't like lying even when it's just verbal if you want to be that specific. But given these twin crises, your view of the cost of this kind of misinformation. Rex It's massive. I'm in California right now and the difficulty the difficulty that local officials are having in managing people when it comes to these wall fires is immense and is partially because accused on, it's partially because the president basically sort of thumbs his nose that these sorts of Issues v rate of destruction that is happening out here. Basically, the size of central park is being burned every other day in northern California Oregon Central Park. Every other day is being burned devastated. varies a haze over the sky on a regular basis at the bottom. Of A pool, you can see ash settling after every single night. So the idea that people are wasting public resources with crazy conspiracy theories because they think that the fires were created by you know five G. or invading Muslims or George Soros doesn't help the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of people were either going to be out of their homes or not able to stay safely in their homes. During the time, we have a pandemic where rescuing people in putting them into shelters is all the more difficult. So yeah, this is propaganda that's Live when trump lies people are dying. Well. Caddy at the White House has often tried to reposition the Cova conversation in the election as well. This hit everywhere. This is global thing. it seems that this week there is a rightful focus and scrutiny on the president's leadership on his honesty on his approach, which is relevant. As, you go into election about who you want to continue to deal with this crisis or do you want to change the commander in chief? Yell the the virus has hit everywhere but my fourteen year old daughter is an online schooling here in Washington. Her friend in France in class. A. Friend in London is in class her friend in China is in plus her friend in Senegal. is in class and a friend in Germany is in class they're all going to school. And the reason they're going to school is because those countries have handled this better. So that's a direct comparison and in a globalised world. Our children here in the United States make no mistake about it that losing out because those other kids are in class going to school at advancing while orchids not advancing. So we're kicking this down to the next generation as well but. We elect leaders to be able to walk and Chew Gum at the same time. It is totally possible that you can give people a facts that you can trust the American people with the facts of something it is at also be inspirational and motivational and lift them up with a plan and show leadership. Those two things are not mutually exclusive and I think that's what the president is mistaking when he says, he didn't want people to panic and so he downplayed the virus. And gatty talk about how that stacks up in a global context that I think is very interesting to remember, and then how people are receiving these messages reporter. Jim Acosta spoke. To some people going to the trump rally take a look. Our about him because there's no. It's a it's a fake pandemic created to destroy the United. States of America. The president said the Bob Woodward there is a virus but corona virus that it is devil that's his opinion. Chatty. Where do you start i? Mean you stop by asking all of our leaders to come out with consistent clear accurate honest messaging when I really felt for Anthony. FAUCI. In that interview because I've interviewed g and he is so careful not to wade into political waters where there's going to be a difference between him and the president because he said that will be the only story and he is trying to get out the public health story doesn't WANNA make it a political story about. A disagreement he clearly feels now he has to set a Mauka. He has to wait into the politics of this and say, no when the President says, we are turning a corner. We're not actually turney. We're in this for the long haul because when the president says, we're turning a corner when he says, we're about to get over this or that is magically going to disappear what happens that guy doesn't wear a mosque when he attends a rally because he thinks it's not there. That's the risk. Door Jason. Trump can say you know he can see the light at the end of the tunnel. All we once it's a train right it's a train coming at us. We are about to head to fall which is flu season. This is a time where you have kids going back to school but you have people who have to shelter in place more because it's cold you can't eat outside and that makes us Much more difficult and I think are the real danger here is that as we recognize that the president is grotesquely incompetent, right easies driven by sort of racial malice and paying off his friends and everything else like that. At the base of all of this, we cannot forget to key things. One that the president is still trying to steal the election with the post office that you still have. Right. Wing Supreme. Courts in Wisconsin right now that are trying to people get absentee ballots. It's you have the president, the Republican Party suing in Iowa to prevent people from getting their absentee ballots that he's still trying to steal the election at the same time that you have literally millions of. Americans. Now, out of work who be out of their homes who are being evicted, which will make it more difficult for them to. Actually vote. So as much as the president is, is a horrible human being and trying to bankrupt this country and pay off his friends and stay in office. He is also doing things isn't competence has disrupted the ability of regular people remove him from office in a democratic way. We can't ever lose sight that because we can't get rid of him everything that's happening. Now we'll be ten times worse by nature.

'Cuties' Calls Out The Hypersexualization Of Young Girls - And Gets Criticized
"Film cuties premieres on Netflix later this week. It's being praised for its critique of the hyper sexual ization of young girls and the consequences of that. As they grow up in the age of social media. It would've awarded the Sundance Film Festival, but it's also being criticized for the very thing it examines. Rebecca Rossman has this report from Paris. Several years ago. My moon a Duke of a was that a neighborhood gathering when her jaw dropped a group of young girls in revealing outfits came out on a stage and performed a choreographed routine. Google says they couldn't have been more than 11 years old. They were dancing very, essentially very sexually, and I was very disturbed about what I was seeing. But instead of passing judgment, the self taught writer and filmmaker says she wanted to understand what she was seeing. She dove into research interviewing more than 100, adolescent girls over the course of a year and a half. It's a period very specific where you are not anymore. So tell your child and you are not an adult You are looking for yourself in everything is changing very fast. Duke away combined. Her findings with elements of her own upbringing in her first feature length film Cuties is about what it means to be an adolescent girl in the age of Tic Tac and instagram, where likes have become the currency of self esteem. And keeping kids away from anything on the Internet is near impossible. Someone in their new film is told from the perspective of 11 year old Amy, who like Duke Away, is the daughter of Muslim Senegalese immigrants growing up in North East Paris. Amy is unimpressed by the traditional path for women laid out by the matriarchs in her family, the divorce, they fasted. They got up to develop a sauce. I looked as her strict grand and tries to groom her to become a wife and mother. Amy watches her own. Mom struggled to hide tears when she gets a call from her husband in Senegal. As is tradition for many men there, he's taken a second wife. To escape the drama Playing out at home, Amy befriends a group of popular girls at school who have formed a dance troupe called Lame Unknown or the Cuties. Amy spends hours nailing down choreography, too provocative music videos so she could impress her new friends. Filmmaker. My Mona Ducal says social media adds a layer of complexity to what it means to be an adolescent in 2020. Today, you have that exposition off your body on social media, and you also have thiss big competition. Off finding likes and follow us, and that is for me a new kind of finding love. The film provokes many questions, but doesn't provide many answers. And that's the intention, says film critic Jennifer Progeny. Who says it's also important that cuties was made by a woman who comes from the same background and culture as her characters is really important to have more coming of age movies in France in Genoa, and not we've only white cast because I think cotton to represent Children off every backgrounds because Even if we leave the same way we don't have the same control stuff, And it's really important to see the specific age between childhood and teenage moods. And I hope my Munna open the door for other movies like this. That door almost didn't open even though Cuties has received widespread acclaim in France and Wanna Sundance Award Ah publicity Gaff from its U. S distributor, Netflix almost cost the movie its reputation. After Netflix published a marketing poster showing the cuties twerking and revealing cheerleading outfits without any context. An online petition calling for the cancellation of the US release received more than 140,000 signatures. Do. Callie was accused on social media of being a pedophile and even received death threats. She says she hopes those who signed the petition will watch the film, and after that, they will see that we have the same fights and we all together. About that issue off hype, six realization off our Children and protect our Children. In the end my moon a Duke says her film is about a choice, a choice that who we want to become. Who we want to really become in as a child. Take the time to be assigned. And keep that innocence to grow up in our society for NPR news. I'm Rebecca Rossman in Paris.
