Inside Europe - Inside Europe – 17 August 2023

The UK's new asylum barge has a German back-story, windfall taxes and how they work, the Asian migrants staffing Croatia's tourism boom, and an iconic Georgian brand takes sales hit.

Focus on Africa - Libya: deadly clashes in Tripoli

Libya's political chaos continues. Two powerful militias clashed this week in the capital Tripoli. Calm was restored but over 50 people were killed, and more than 140 were injured. A group of opposition parties in South Africa have been meeting to form an alliance to dislodge the ruling African National Congress from power. But why was the EFF excluded? And a petitioner calls on members of parliament in Kenya to ban the use of popular social media app TikTok. He argues that the application is contributing to the erosion of cultural and religious morals.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - CARPE CONSENSUS: Season Tickets for the Crypto Theater

CoinDesk layoffs. Plus, DeFi fails to live up to its promises and a look at Coinbase’s recent flurry of announcements.

On today’s “Carpe Consensus,” hosts Ben Schiller and Danny Nelson dive into the latest crypto news.

  • [0:35] Inside the Desk: Ben and Danny discuss CoinDesk’s recent layoffs, which “Carpe Consensus” cohost Cam Thompson was affected by. Crypto’s bear (or as some say, “crab”) market has not been particularly kind to crypto media.
  • [4:20] Decentralized Finance (DeFi) promised a new take on governance. It’s unclear what we got instead. The hosts discuss Camila Russo’s piece, “Crypto’s Theater Is Becoming More Surreal.”
  • [15:48] Coinbase launched Base blockchain, a layer 2 network. It’s also formed a crypto lobbying agency, all while it’s in the middle of a battle with the SEC.

This one’s for Cam – you’re the best. “Carpe Consensus” is executive produced by Jared Schwartz and produced and edited by Eleanor Pahl.
