The Happy Pod: I've put women on the map with Antarctic record

Before taking on Antarctica's 160 kilometre ultramarathon, Stephanie Case said she wanted to show her daughter what mothers can achieve even in the toughest places on Earth. The Canadian ultra-runner has now made history, becoming the first woman to complete the race. Case says she wanted to prove that ''motherhood isn't the finish line''. Also: we catch up with a young Sudanese boy who received a surprise message from his favourite footballer, the Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior. We visit a drama workshop where actors use sound to create theatre for blind and visually impaired people. How robotic kits with chopsticks are inspiring children around the world. The African athletes who have made history at the Youth Olympic Games in Senegal. Plus the chimpanzee in Florida that had his own drone delivery service of bananas.

African students and bullying abroad

The tragic murder of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong in the US has sparked renewed conversation about the challenges African children face in foreign schools. While Javits's father suspects his son's killing may have been linked to bullying, police have yet to confirm any connection. However, his death has prompted many to share their own experiences of bullying while studying abroad. Morayo Alofabi-Brown, an entrepreneur and TV host, is among those who have spoken openly about their experiences with bullying. She spoke to Focus on Africa about the impact it had on her and why Javits’s death brought back painful memories. We also heard from Adetola Ademola, a digital creator who relocated from Nigeria to the US, where she is raising her two daughters. One of her daughters has also experienced bullying.

Ernest Bai Koroma and Maada Bio's Reconciliation of Corruption

Julius Maada Bio was elected President of Sierra Leone in April 2018 on a platform to fight corruption and introduce fiscal discipline in government. A governance transition committee Bio established to investigate his predecessor, Ernest Bai Koroma, reported that the Koroma administration left Sierra Leone in serious economic difficulty, citing a large external and domestic debt burden driven mostly by an “expanded payroll” of US$263 million, or 14.4% of GDP. Bio’s multiple audits into the Koroma regime's past activities uncovered egregious political and financial corruption, nepotism, and widespread economic graft that permeated governance during the ten years of the All Peoples Congress (APC). Bio imposed travel bans on Koroma and several of his former ministers. Then in late November 2023, shortly after the disputed June 2023 elections, Bio accused Koroma of plotting to overthrow the controversial government created by a tripartite agreement between the APC and Bio’s SLPP. Koroma was then exiled to Nigeria, where he stayed for two consecutive years before returning to Sierra Leone in early September 2026. Yet, in a two-day conference held in Freetown last week, Koroma and Bio publicly announced they had reconciled their differences, calling for peace and national cohesion across the country. In this episode, we ask what became of Maada Bio’s anti-corruption campaign and the findings of the commissions of inquiry against Koroma and his APC ministers. We examine how Koroma and Bio’s reconciliation and peace efforts affect accountability for human rights violations, transparency in governance, and Sierra Leone’s fight against corruption.

US airspace reopens after flights grounded for several hours

On Friday, the US made the rare decision to ground flights nationwide, leaving tens of thousands of people stranded. An overloaded air traffic control system triggered communications failures across the country. The White House says there's no evidence of a cyberattack. Flights resumed after four hours, but Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has warned that getting the aviation network back to normal will take time. Also: Divisions deepen inside the Trump administration as the US Commerce Secretary comes under criticism for his failure to ban exports of advanced Nvidia chips to a company linked to a suspected Chinese spy.

En revanche, qu'en est-il quand la fête d'Halloween investit les manifestations ? Peut-on manifester le visage couvert, comme de nombreuses publications appellent à le faire ? Explications.
