Prabowo Subianto will become the president of Indonesia in the Fall. Critics worry that the former general under a previous authoritarian government will roll back democracy. That presents a challenge for the U.S., which once trained and supported Prabowo, then subsequently banned him from entering the U.S. for twenty years.
And a TV song contest in Venezuela in which every song is about the authoritarian president.

CrowdScience - Why are people still dying from malaria?
Mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal. These tiny creatures transmit many diseases, but the most devastating is malaria. It kills over half a million people every year, most of them children.
So why are people still dying of malaria in such large numbers, when so much time and money has been invested in trying to eradicate it? What do we know about mosquitoes and malaria, and what do we still need to learn? CrowdScience visits Malawi, one of the African countries leading the way against malaria, with the rollout of the world’s first malaria vaccine programme.
Presenter Caroline Steel is joined by a live audience and a panel of experts: Wongani Nygulu, Eggrey Aisha Kambewa and Steve Gowelo. Together they explore questions from our listeners in Malawi and around the world, like why female mosquitoes feed on blood while males drink nectar; why some people are more likely to be bitten by mosquitoes than others; and how we might modify the insects’ DNA to stop them spreading diseases.
About half a million children across Malawi have been vaccinated since 2019. We visit a clinic in nearby Chikwawa to meet the staff involved in the vaccination programme there, and the mothers embracing the opportunity to protect their babies against this deadly disease.
Recorded at Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Trust (MLW), Blantyre, Malawi.

Short Wave - NEWS: NOAA Issues First Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch Since 2005
Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration observed a cluster of sunspots on the surface of the sun this week. With them came solar flares that kicked off a severe geomagnetic storm. That storm is expected to last throughout the weekend as at least five coronal mass ejections — chunks of the sun — are flung out into space, towards Earth! NOAA uses a five point scale to rate these storms, and this weekend's storm is a G4. It's expected to produce auroras as far south as Alabama. To contextualize this storm, we are looking back at the largest solar storm on record: the Carrington Event.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - UNCHAINED: How the Top One-Third of FTX Creditors Are Boosting the Payouts for Everyone Else
The draft FTX bankruptcy plan is being lauded for paying out more—in dollar terms—to creditors than expected. But it’s at the cost of customers who hold the most valuable assets on the exchange.
Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pods, Fountain, Overcast, Podcast Addict, Pocket Casts, Castbox, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, or on your favorite podcast platform.
Thomas Braziel, managing partner at 117 Partners, dives into the draft FTX bankruptcy plan, which was praised for paying out at more than 100% in dollar terms, but has several intricacies that are drawing criticisms from creditors—including a group that is urging creditors to vote not.
The episode delves into the nuances of the proposed payout, explaining how the estate was able to pay back more than 100% of the dollar value of the claims, why some creditors are being pitted against each other, and why it might get approved even “over the kicking and screaming” of some creditors.
Braziel gives his insights into the rapid formation of this plan, the controversial role of Sullivan and Cromwell, and the logistical challenges posed by what may end up being paper check payouts.
Show highlights:
- Why the plan that was filed this week is such big news
- How it was never even possible for creditors to be made whole in crypto asset terms
- How the majority of depositors had stablecoins on the FTX platform
- Why there are “inter-creditor” disputes
- What a "cramdown" is and why it's significant in this case
- Criticisms of the plan, and why larger investors, especially with crypto holdings, are having their gains socialized
- Whether the FTX estate made mistakes by selling some of its positions before they 10x’ed
- Why FTX didn't reboot its platform
- What conflicts of interest might arise from law firm Sullivan and Cromwell
- The tax implications for creditors who are non-US taxpayers
- How the claims are going to be distributed
- Whether the creditors will favor the proposal and the next steps
