The Nukak are one of at least 32 tribes in Colombia believed to be at ‘imminent risk of extinction’. This is due to multiple reasons that include the ongoing civil war in Colombia and the continued influence of the modern world. Some of these influences from the modern world have led some of the Nukak people to begin taking modern drugs and drinking alcohol.

In this episode we will be looking at the significance of the Twitter share purchase by Elon Musk, making him the largest shareholder at the social media platform. 

NASA has said it will allow SpaceX to take its astronauts into orbit on reused spaceships - something the US space agency had not previously permitted.

This could be a big step for SpaceX, given that reusability is one of the key steps behind the firm’s mission to bring down the eye-watering costs of space travel.

The news follows a modification to NASA’s $2.7 billion commercial crew contract that it made with SpaceX back in 2014.

We have recently seen NASA take huge strides towards fulfilling their goals as a space agency that is acting on behalf of the world's largest economy.

As we move closer to the EV revolution and companies like Tesla are spearheading the charge to an electric future. At the same time we have seen the rise of the Chinese copycat tiny EV’s that are readily available to order online to be delivered directly to your door for a very reasonable amount of money.

Of course quality is going to be a major concern for anyone who will be looking to purchase one of the tiny EV’s we will be looking at in this episode. Safety is another talking point with these EV’s, we will talk about this further in the episode.

Last week, Jason Torchinsky, senior editor over at Jalopnik, did an unboxing of the Changli, a low-cost tiny yet deceivingly spacious all-electric car that cost around $1,200.

In this video we will take a look at three rising Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers, who are thriving on platforms like Alibaba.

SpaceX is now inviting users to join its satellite-powered Starlink internet ahead of a public beta.

Starlink is the current name for this plan, trademarked by SpaceX in late August 2017. The entire project could be up and running by 2024, if the current timeline holds.

SpaceX filed two trademarks on the same day in August 2017, revealing more information about the Internet plans.

The Elon Musk owned aerospace company is now letting people who are interested in the service sign up to, in the company's words, 'get updates on Starlink news and service availability in your area.'

By filling out an email form with a zip code, prospective customers will get notifications on when or if they're able to join the Starlink service once it's opened up.

A statement from Starlink read:

'If you provided us with your zip code, you will be notified via email if beta testing opportunities become available in your area,' reads a message sent to users who sign up.

'In the meantime, we will continue to share with you updates about general service availability and upcoming Starlink launches.'

The beta is expected to open up in later this summer of 2020 or in early fall and will have about 800 satellites in all.

In this episode we will be taking a look at 3 key elements that we know about Starlink.

History rarely favours a dictator. Over the decades we have seen the same story repeated in many nations around the world. This exclusive list has names such as, The Kim Dynasty, Putin some may say, Gaddafi in his time, the Assad family in Syria and the list goes on.

The story of a dictator has been played out many times over the years and the outcome is always the same.

In this video which is the first in a series of world dictators, which I will be releasing over the next few weeks, we will be taking a look at the downfall of the now deceased African dictator Robert Mugabe.
