Philippe Kehren, CEO of multinational Solvay: Reducing reliance on China’s rare earth metals

Jonathan Josephs speaks to Philippe Kehren, CEO of chemical multinational company Solvay. His firm sits at the forefront of Europe’s efforts to diversify its supply of rare earth metals. These elements are essential to much of modern technology, from mobile phones to medical equipment, car batteries and renewable energy. Currently their supply is heavily dependent on China, which mines around 70% of all rare earth metals, and refines around 90%. Solvay aims to play a significant role in reducing this dependence, by increasing European capacity to mine and refine these materials. However, Mr Kehren says the European Union needs to play its part by introducing incentives for customers to buy from European suppliers rather than their cheaper Chinese competitors.

Bridging Africa’s Health Financing Crisis

Africa is undergoing a health funding crisis due to overreliance on external aid and a lack of internal investment from African governments. The healthcare sector is 95 percent dependent on external aid for crucial commodities: vaccines, medication, and diagnostic equipment. Africa saw a 41 percent rise in public health emergencies in 2024, highlighting the vulnerability of the health infrastructure. In response to these challenges, the Africa Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a concept paper titled: Africa’s Health Financing in a New Era. In this concept paper, the Africa CDC introduces innovative financing measures to bridge the funding gap. Mvemba is joined by Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director-General of the Africa CDC, to discuss the importance of good governance, private sector investment, and strategic planning in strengthening Africa’s domestic resource mobilization.

Is the world safer after Trump bombed Iran?

SHOCKWAVE IN THE MIDDLE EAST: Trump’s Bombs Hit Iran, But Is the World Safer? Missiles flew, a ceasefire crumbled, and tensions skyrocketed—dive into this gripping episode of State of the World to uncover the truth behind Trump’s high-stakes gamble and its fallout across the globe State of the World Hosts Sally Lockwood, reporting from Dubai where airspace shut down amid fears of Iranian retaliation, and Tara Palmeri in New York, unpack the dramatic US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, which a leaked report claims only delayed Iran’s program by months. Joined by former US diplomat Brett Bruen, fresh from the NATO summit in The Hague, they dissect Iran’s choreographed missile attack on Qatar’s Al Udeid airbase, the fragile ceasefire marred by Trump’s profane outburst, and the panic in safe havens like Doha and Dubai. From NATO’s unease over Trump’s unilateral moves to Europe’s flattery-laden diplomacy and fears of a “post-American era,” this episode explores the political, economic, and human stakes— including families hiding in Qatar and declining European tourism to the US.

Rwanda's Strained Relations with Neighbours

Rwanda has endured a series of destabilizing moments that have shaped its complex history and relations with neighboring countries. Colonial rule set the stage for ethnic divisions that worsened under post-colonial governments, leading to the horrific 1994 Rwandan genocide. Following the genocide, Rwanda's rapid reconstruction transformed it into an economic success story. However, longstanding tensions with its neighbors, fueled by historical grievances and security concerns, continue to disrupt and challenge this image and drive instability and insecurity in the Great Lakes. Today, Rwanda's relations with neighboring countries remain fraught. Friction has led to periodic border closures with Uganda and Burundi, while Rwanda's military presence in eastern DRC has contributed to conflict escalation. Questions persist about how Rwanda and its neighbors can move beyond historical grievances and geopolitical struggles to foster lasting peace in the region. In this episode, Mvemba is joined by retired General James Kabarebe, Rwanda's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Cooperation. General Kabarebe offers an inside perspective on the security challenges Rwanda faces with its neighbors. He addresses Rwanda’s diplomatic and strategic stance, shedding light on the complexities of regional cooperation, and explores ways to navigate the tensions affecting Rwanda and its neighbors. This event is made possible by the generous support of Open Society Foundations.

Is Zohran Mamdani Leading a Democratic Party Revolution?

Is Zohran Mamdani’s Victory a Progressive Coup to Oust the Democratic Establishment? Mamdani’s landslide victory over the establishment-backed Cuomo signals a potential rebellion within the Democratic Party. From his bold policies—like city-run grocery stores and free buses—to his controversial past, including Palestinian activism and defund-the-police tweets, Mamdani is polarizing. Is this a progressive insurgency akin to the MAGA takeover of the GOP? The hosts explore why Cuomo’s scandals and “Rose Garden” campaign failed, how Republicans are weaponizing Mamdani as a “communist lunatic” foil, and whether Democratic leaders like Schumer dropped the ball. With comparisons to Obama’s 2008 rise and fears from NYC’s Jewish community, this episode dives deep into what Mamdani’s win means for the party’s future and the 2026 midterms. Mosheh Oinounou joins the Tara Palmeri Show to discuss. How will Mamdani’s victory reshape American politics? Will it empower progressives or hand Republicans a weapon?

Did Andrew Cuomo run the “worst front runner campaign” ever? Will hand the keys to the city to a 33-year-old socialist tomorrow after months of leading in the polls?Zohran Mamdani’s meteoric rise in the polls is sending shockwaves through Cuomo’s campaign and the city. New York Magazine columnist Ross Barkan, who has been covering the campaign, joins the Tara Palmeri Show to unpack this high-stakes showdown. 'This is the greatest contrast between two top campaigns I have seen in a long time if not ever' Barkan says, as socialist, pro-Palestine Mamdani challenges establishment heavyweight Cuomo. Could Mamdani become the next AOC? Is his bold vision what New York needs, or is this just a fleeting moment of fame?Will Mamdani’s star keep rising, or is Cuomo’s reign unstoppable?
