- China: the forgotten of confinement
In China, the people of Beijing are having a very bad time with the resurgence of the Covid-19 epidemic, as many neighborhoods have been reconfigured. For the thousands of French expatriates, this new confinement is very bad news. For 5 months now, they have been stranded either inside or outside the country, sometimes separated from their families. The very limited number of flights and the exorbitant prices of tickets prevent them from entering or leaving. A dramatic situation for many of them.

- The rise of traditional Chinese medicine
For months now, health and medicine have been at the heart of our concerns. In China, the benefits of traditional medicine, such as acupuncture, have been proven. During the coronavirus epidemic, more than 85% of patients infected with the coronavirus were treated alone or in addition with traditional Chinese medicine. Building on its success, this medicine is exported to neighboring Asian countries and to the rest of the world, a real tool for Chinese soft power.

- Tinder, refugee, admitted to Sciences-Po!
According to official figures, Greece today has around 5,000 unaccompanied minors. More than 3000 others not counted, according to the associations. Amadou Diallo has been a refugee in Athens since 2016. Orphaned and persecuted as a Fulani in Guinea, he fled and managed the feat of resuming studies in Athens. Even better: he has just been admitted to the very selective Sciences-Po school in France. Promised for a bright future, Amadou Diallo lives in the anxiety of not getting his papers to reach France

- In Poland, the presidential is invited into families
The Poles are voting this Sunday to elect their future President of the Republic. 1st round of an election which should be played between the two big favorites of the polls, Andrezj Duda the current President, and his main opponent, Rafal Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw. Through this face to face, these are two different conceptions of Polish society that confront each other. A cleavage that invites itself to the hearts of families for sometimes heated debates on the future of the country.

- Travel to Autistan
Josef Schovanec , philosopher-traveler and autistic asperger shares with us his look on the world, a little different ...
When Josef Schovanec visits the city of Maastricht, it inspires him to reflect on the names of cities, their innuendo and sometimes the resulting misunderstandings. If for him Schengen evokes a bucolic village visited in his childhood with his parents, for most of us, it is today an area of free movement!
