Bla Xit Family, 62 Gambian's drowned at sea going the BACK WAY from Banjul to Spain recently. It is with a heavy heart and tear filled eyes that we make this episode. When discovered that our friend a local shop owner lost four family members. We felt that we owed it to Gambia to send our condolences to the families that have lost loved ones to the BACK WAY and also to discuss this sensitive issue. Exploring prevention and solutions.
This episode was made in the Bla Xit studio and we thank Melo for recording and editing and graphics. We also thank Sandro for his ****istance from Starq productions. We also thank Harona Drammeh for the snippet from his how Harona in his interview with Juliet on the 23rd of September on Paradise TV. We thank Haddy, Adrian and Ousman, Melo for their contributions. We hope the 80 survivors find shelter and comfort. We hope the families who have lost family members act as warning beacons for others to stop the BACK WAY.
We thank all of our Bla Xit family for their ongoing support and all our subscribers. Diaspora can join the family by registering at www.Bla-Xit.com.

Last month South African President Jacob Zuma was forced from office by his own party, the African National Congress, when almost a decade's worth of corruption, bribery and racketeering allegations finally became too great to ignore. It is possible that within weeks he could appear in court to face charges relating to at least one of the many financial intrigues from his years in power.
As anyone following this story will know, his most infamous former associates, the billionaire Gupta brothers, are now fugitives from justice amid claims that during the Zuma years they systemically looted state assets on a truly astonishing scale - principally by using their friendship with the then-president to influence political appointments and win lucrative government contracts. They are believed to have fled the country and taken refuge in Dubai, where they own property.
But the former president and his state-capturing confrères aren't the only ones under scrutiny in South Africa these days. We've been to examine the role allegedly played by major international companies in scandals so toxic and far reaching, they look set to haunt the country for years to come.

Physicist Brian Greene takes you on a visual, conceptual, and mathematical exploration of Einstein’s spectacular insights into space, time, and energy. In just 11.5 hours, using nothing more advanced than high school algebra, journey from Einstein’s earliest musings on the speed of light to his startling realization that time can tick at different rates to his revolutionary discovery of the world’s most famous formula, E = mc2.

Marcia Bartusiak joins Kip Thorne, Laura Danly and Rainer Weiss to demonstrate how two observatories on opposite sides of the country, called LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory), may open a new window on observing the cosmos—one based not in light but in gravity. Scientists have embarked on this joint experiment, seeking whispers of far-away violence—like the collision between distant black holes—rippling through the cosmos. It’s taken nearly a century, but technology has finally caught up to Einstein’s brilliance. His 1916 General Theory of Relativity predicted the existence of gravitational waves—undulations in the very fabric of space and time—and LIGO researchers are now poised to detect them.
The World Science Festival gathers great minds in science and the arts to produce live and digital content that allows a broad general audience to engage with scientific discoveries. Our mission is to cultivate a general public informed by science, inspired by its wonder, convinced of its value, and prepared to engage with its implications for the future.

The video outlines three case studies of farmers utilizing agroecological practices in their farming systems. It focuses on complex adaptive rice systems in the Easter part of the island of Java, Indonesia; on a large-scale farm in the Netherlands applying sustainable soil management practices; and on social aspects of agroecology as a movement in Brazil.
