In preparing for Platform 2018 our team flew to Abidjan to the HQ of the African Development Bank to interview Mr Victor Oladokun.

The Platform themed "Beyond Politics The New Tribe of Africans fighting Poverty & Changing the Face of the Continent" speaks on The Power of Media.
2. Here are some notable quotes:

“Whether it’s a music video, whether it’s a film, whether it’s a talk show, it’s all about people and it’s all about stories, so how are you crafting that narrative, how are you telling that story in a way that is compelling?”

3."30 years from now, Africa is going to have a population size that is double that of India and China combined, where are we going to put those individuals, where are the opportunities & it is in the interest of government, it is in the interest of institutions to empower voices

Seriously good seeing a Parliament on the same page in regard to women. No games from either Premier Palaszczuk or Opposition Leader Crisafulli.

Who knew the adults in the room when it came to Parliament would be in Queensland 😳👏🏼
Really good to hear Cameron Dick (ALP) putting it all on men, it being a men's problem, a problem for men to fix, for men to demand better of other men.

David Janetzki (LNP) talking about #EnoughIsEnough talking about true cry for national action.

Shannon Fentiman (ALP) thanking women who came out to #March4Justice hearing & believing, angry about lack of respect for women by our Leaders. Mentions 'Women's Safety & Justice Taskforce'.

UPDATE: Dr Diana Warner and Roger Hallam still held on remand at Eastwood Park and Pentonville prisons, respectively. #BeyondPolitics #BurningPink
The quarantine situation the prison system enforces is so chaotic that nor us, neither their close relatives, could reach them until Thursday evening. That’s ten days virtually incommunicated. It is only after talking to Roger that we can clarify that he is not on hunger strike.
What we know is that Roger conditions are atrocious: he’s in what can only be described as solitary confinement.

UPDATE: Blyth, Ferhat and Steven were granted bail, under stringent conditions. Blyth and Ferhat are out of prison and safe. We very much hope that Steven is released, at the latest, next Tuesday.
We still waiting for Diana’s lawyers to tell us what's next; at the moment she is in prison. We hope that the court will grant her bail too
Roger's appeal for bail was turned down, the bail conditions so harsh the judge couldn't make a decision without Roger being present. He is on remand (in Pentonville Prison) until the next bail hearing on the 22 nd September.

Scotland recently held its first Citizen Jury (a small Citizens' Assembly). They made a few videos of interviews with the participants, which are quite inspiring. We need this in Westminster to go #BeyondPolitics and in #Bristol to determine how to get #carbonneutral by 2030.
