This week, Talk to Al Jazeera sits down with Frank Chikane to discuss his concerns about South Africa after Mandela, and the radical changes he thinks the country needs to implement before a revolt starts. 2470325686001: Frank Chikane: 'One day we will lose him' Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:36:33 +0300 1589 Frank Chikane,apartheid,talktoaljazeera,talk to al jazeera,youtube,South Africa,Nelson Mandela,aljazeera,South Africa revolt,South Africa poverty <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/e8sGIxFTpcs" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2470411414001_Web-TTAJChikane-541-10.mp4 Al Jazeera English Senegal's president discusses the conflict in Mali, neo-colonialism and Africa's capability to solve its own problems. Senegal has long been revered as one of Africa's model democracies, one of the very few West African states with a tradition of civilian rule. The country gained independence from France in 1960, and has suffered no serious upheavals since. It has an established multi-party system and boasts one of the region's most stable economies despite high unemployment and poverty. But this relative stability in Senegal is now threatened by the conflict in neighbouring Mali. The presenceof Senegalese soldiers together with the West African and French troops in the fight against Islamists in the North has raised fears of reprisal attacks. On this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Folly Bah Thibault is joined by Macky Sall, the president of Senegal, to discuss the country's presence in Mali as part of the ECOWAS mission, neo-colonialism and the relationship with France, and Africa's capability in solving its own problems. 2443146263001: Macky Sall: 'It's easy to condemn Africa' Sat, 08 Jun 2013 13:23:39 +0300 1500 senegal,drug trafficking,neo-colonialism,ECOWAS,Tuareg,talktoaljazeera,Casamance,talk to al jazeera,youtube,Africa,mali,Al-Qaeda Mali,aljazeera,macky sall,Mali Conflict <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/8KH0JtXJQXE" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2444017691001_WEB-TTAJ-06.mp4 Al Jazeera English Spain's minister of economy is confident his country and the eurozone can reverse its misfortunes.

Immigrants in Sweden, many of them Muslims, have been rioting for several nights, saying they feel excluded from society. This quickly caused a rise in voices heard calling for more restrictions on immigration. Last week in the UK, a Muslim convert killed a British soldier on a London street, and this was quickly followed by several attacks on mosques in the country. When events such as these take place, and tensions rise, is there anyone around who speaks on behalf of all Muslims? One man says he does. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu is the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Headquartered in Saudi Arabia and funded by Islamic nations across the world, the OIC is the second largest inter-governmental organisation after the United Nations and has membership of 57 states spread over four continents. On this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Jane Dutton sat down with Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu to discuss some hot topics in Europe at present: including discrimination, freedom of expression and religious persecution. 2423777715001: Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu: Combating Islamophobia Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:33:19 +0300 1500 UN,Muslim,Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu,Europe,Organization of Islamic Cooperation,al Jazeera,Islamophobia,oic,talktoaljazeera,youtube,aljazeera,turkey,west <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/meb7TmEtn6o" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2423830430001_WEB-TTAJIhsanoglu-340-31.mp4 Al Jazeera English The 27-year old cyber-security expert discusses digital warfare and the future threats we might face in the cybersphere. In South Korea in March, more than 30,000 computers and servers at the country's two largest broadcasters, one cable channel and three banks out of commission. For hours, customers could not take out money from their accounts. After first pointing fingers at North Korea, and then China…the confused South Korean Communications Commission said it was difficult, maybe impossible to identify the perpetrators. But one man, Jaime Blasco, says he was able to identify the hackers as originating in China. And his words carry weight. He is one of the world's most experienced private investigators of cyber attacks. Born in Spain and now working in the United States, his clients include several governmentsin Europe as well as corporations in banking, energy, defense and telecommunications who turn to him in emergencies. 2407257194001: Jaime Blasco: 'This is the new Cold War' Sat, 25 May 2013 14:20:48 +0300 1500 United States,north korea,Jaime Blasco,security,cyber,hacker,spain,al Jazeera,talktoaljazeera,talk to al jazeera,youtube,digital warfare,information war,aljazeera,attack,China,South Korea <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/v0j88oDamh4" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2407347671001_Web-TTAJ-251-24.mp4 Al Jazeera English The 'father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb' answers allegations that he gave nuclear secrets to North Korea, Libya and Iran. On 9 October 2006, with 20 minutes warning, North Korea notified China that it was about to detonate its first nuclear device. China’s leadership sent an emergency alert to the White House, where President George W Bush got word that a North Korean test was imminent. It was a glaring defeat of efforts to control the spread of nuclear weapons technology. "We must act on every lead. We will find the middlemen, the suppliers and the buyers. Our message to proliferators must be consistent and it must be clear: we will find you, and we’re not going to rest until you are stopped," Bush declared. But the spread of technology had not been stopped, and it was not just North Korea - Iran, and Libya had also mastered the ability to enrich uranium, a critical step for any country that might want to manufacture nuclear weapons. So, how did that happen? In 2004, the US announced that intelligence services had established the existence of a vast underground network of suppliers of nuclear technology and skills. It was, they alleged, led by Abdul Qadeer Khan, also known as the 'father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb'. Overnight, AQ Khan became one of the most wanted men in the world. This week, Talk to Al Jazeera sits down with AQ Khan, the former head of Pakistan's nuclear programme. to discuss allegations that he gave nuclear secrets to North Korea, Iran and Libya. We also talk about his political ambitions, and his visions for the future of Pakistan. 2390555424001: Abdul Qadeer Khan: 'My name is clear' Sat, 18 May 2013 13:00:05 +0300 1500 iran,Abdul Qadeer Khan,north korea,aq khan,cia,us,Libya,iaea,al Jazeera,pakistan,A Q Khan,talktoaljazeera,talk to al jazeera,bomb,youtube,nuclear weapon,bush,Talktojazeera <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/aqSA5rfUn-o" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2391070473001_WEB-TTAJ-18.mp4 Al Jazeera English Outgoing head of the Syrian National Coalition discusses his decision to resign and the next steps for the opposition. Moaz al-Khatib, the outgoing president of the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) burst onto the scene in November 2012. The Imam from Damascus' famous Umayyad Mosque was a man with a reputation for fair-mindedness and courageous opposition to the Bashar al-Assad regime. Popular and conciliatory, he seemed a ‘fresh face' to unite and calm the fractious SNC. But he lasted barely five months. This week, Talk to Al Jazeera sits down with Moaz al-Khatib, to find out his reasons for leaving, and how he is managing the current situation. 2373095912001: Moaz al-Khatib: The priority is to save Syria Sat, 11 May 2013 12:52:29 +0300 1500 Anita McNaught,Bashar al Assad,Syrian National Coalition,talktoaljazeera,Moaz al Khatib,youtube,opposition,syria,snc <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/U5H8FKnu_Zc" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2373235207001_WEB-TTAJ-khatib-11.mp4 Al Jazeera English Despite limited real power, the mayor who led a successful 2012 Olympics is being touted as the great Conservative hope.

It is time to change our image of Africa. Critics say that for too long now, aid organisations, foreign diplomats, politicians and journalists have been stuck looking at this vast continent as a convenient photo-opportunity to illustrate victimhood and desperation. And few men are more forceful in advocating a change in how we perceive Africa than Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina. Talk to Al Jazeera sat down with one of the continent's most influential young authors to explore why the world is still not understanding Africa, and how to break the lens of media distortion. 2297613150001: Binyavanga Wainaina: Rewriting Africa Sat, 13 Apr 2013 12:20:28 +0300 1500 kenya,aid,al Jazeera,author,stereotypes,talktoaljazeera,youtube,Africa,aljazeera,How to write about Africa,writer,media,Binyavanga Wainaina <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/R2VRtLIlxA8" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2297746253001_WEB-TTAJ-wainaina-1000-13.mp4 Al Jazeera English Algerian presidential hopeful discusses the future of his country, and how he plans to help it shape a new reality. Under sitting President Abdelaziz Bouteflika - who has been in office for more than 13 years now - critics say Algeria has failed to learn its own lessons of history. So far, Algeria has avoided wholesale changes in the wake of the Arab Spring, and the leadership has a firm grip on power. But there is real tension under the surface. Bouteflika has tried to portray himself as a figure of reconciliation. But his critics point to powerful military rules that allow indefinite detention of political opponents, chronic high unemployment, and a decision to remove the two-term limit on the president, to make their case that Bouteflika has to go. Then there is Ahmed Benbitour, a man who wants to be president. He once served as prime minister but left after a disagreement with the Bouteflika leadership. Now, he believes, it is time for his country to recapture the values that once drove its fight for independence 50 years ago. But how will he do it? Talk to Al Jazeera sat down with Ahmed Benbitour to discuss the future of Algeria, and how he hopes to shape a new reality for the country. 2280794019001: Ahmed Benbitour: Change is the only way Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:16:14 +0300 1500 al Jazeera,Ahmed Benbitour,talktoaljazeera,al qaeda,talk to al jazeera,youtube,Arab Spring,aljazeera,IN AMENAS,Algeria,abdelaziz bouteflika <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/HUoGS2LMHyE" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2280812694001_WEB-TTAJ-9-6.mp4 Al Jazeera English The human rights activist discusses the rising violence against women in Egypt and why she refuses to stay silent. Sexual harassment and attacks on women in Egypt were a problem before the January 25 revolution, but in the two years since the Arab Spring came to Cairo, the problem has grown worse. Violent assaults - groping, stripping and rapes have become increasingly frequent at the heart of the uprising, Tahrir Square. Sexual assault in Egypt, activists say, has become a weapon of war against women. Many have long stayed silent, but not anymore. One of those making their voices heard is Ragia Omran, a prominent lawyer, human rights activist, and feminist. She talks to Al Jazeera about the women abused in Egypt, the role of women, and why she refuses to stay silent. 2264988152001: Ragia Omran : Abused in Egypt Sat, 30 Mar 2013 15:40:20 +0300 1500 Tahrir Square,Mohamed Morsi,human rights,Women,activist,hosni mubarak,human rights activist,talks to Al Jazeera,TTAJ,Sexuality,Egypt,campaigner,equality,youtube,assault,aljazeera,feminist,lawyer,rape,Ragia Omran <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/gQKz9RMdG2g" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2265417970001_WEB-TTAJ-1135-30.mp4 Al Jazeera English The secretary general of the Arab League discusses the challenges the organisation faces over the conflict in Syria. When the Arab League meets in Doha next week, the talks will be dominated by the ongoing fighting in Syria. Just in the past few days there have been major developments: There were serious allegations of chemical weapons being used; the opposition has appointed a prime minister in exile; and now the head of the Arab League becomes the first official to confirm on the record what many have long suspected, that states are arming the rebels.

It is a general election that is being closely watched around the world - one in which the stakes are higher than ever before. On March 4, five years after the worst political crisis in the country's history, Kenyans will vote for MPs, governors, senators and a new president to replace Mwai Kibaki. One of the front runners for the top job is Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's first president, who is charged with crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for his alleged role in the post-election violence of 2007. The other main competitor is Raila Odinga, the country's prime minster, whose defeat in the last election amid charges of rigging, turned tribe against tribe in a shocking explosion of violence that left more than 1,200 dead. Odinga is widely seen to have won the last election but had to settle for the lesser job of prime minister in a coalition government following the disputed vote. In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Raila Odinga discusses if Kenya can overcome its divisive ethnic politics and maintain its status as an African powerhouse. 2181642238001: Raila Odinga: Tackling Kenya's ethnic strife Fri, 22 Feb 2013 19:29:52 +0300 1504 Kenya Election,talktoaljazeera,kenyatta,ethnic division,talk to al jazeera,Raila Odinga,Kenya corruption,youtube,Kenya election violence,kenya,Africa <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/talktoaljazeera/~4/ECU--INDbpU" height="1" width="1"/>http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_2181701219001_WEB-TTAJ-Odinga-1740-22.mp4
