- Exceptional testimony to the land of the Uyghurs
A survivor of Chinese internment camps, where tens of thousands of Muslim Uyghur citizens of East Turkestan are tortured, tells Europe 1 about her 15 months of captivity.
Chinese power justifies its relentless repression by the necessary fight against Islamism.
For the Uyghurs, it is their oil-rich subsoil and the strategic issue of protecting the New Silk Road that push Beijing to colonize a territory three times the size of France and to eradicate its culture and its history.

- Communitarianism, separatism, teaching of religion: how our neighbors manage?
While the school of the Republic “à la française” is attacked and destabilized, how do our European neighbors (Belgium, Germany and England) manage the teaching of religion at school and do they assume their communitarianism?
How France, the only country to have adopted in 1905 a law separating Church and State, is it an exception and does it find itself more targeted by terrorists, while our neighbors have also had to assume several waves of massive immigration?

draws our attention to a British nugget:
I May Destroy You
.
The story of Arabella, a young writer who goes to seek inspiration in a bar, spends the evening there and wakes up, in the morning, with a wound on his forehead and his broken cell phone.
Painfully, she realizes that she has been raped;
begins a long work of reconstruction.
12 intense 23-minute episodes ... bright, despite the subject.
A powerful achievement.

- In Thailand, the youth do not disarm
Faced with the military junta in power and despite the security pressure, almost daily demonstrations continue.
A militant youth in search of democracy which not only attacks the power in place but, crime of lese-majesté, calls into question the untouchable Thai monarchy by demanding its reform, and a new Constitution.
The conflict is generational, embarrassing for the crown.

Josef Schovanec turns on the light and makes us rediscover our basements!
In London, they are the playgrounds of wealthy owners, who dig private cinemas and swimming pools.
