On August 15, 2022, the last soldiers of the Barkhane force in Mali left the PfOD of Gao, the desert operational platform, ending more than 9 and a half years of French army presence in Mali.

Shortly before the departure of this last military unit responsible for securing the premises before the handover to the FAMa, the Malian armed forces, the last logistics convoy left what was the largest base of Barkhane in Mali, heading for Niger.

Our special correspondent Mounia Daoudi was able to attend the final preparations before this departure.

"The horror experienced by a mother in Boutcha

These are two rare testimonies and they are difficult.

They describe the horror that women and girls experienced in Boutcha, Ukraine.

A mother agreed to break the silence, to tell what she endured: continuous rapes.

The soldiers had almost taken up residence in her home... HER home which they transformed into hell.

This woman--and her daughter--have placed their trust in Maurine Mercier.

More than 3 hours of recorded interviews to say the unspeakable.

“Life under Russian occupation and its stigmata”

The report was shot on September 19, 2022 in Ukraine in two small villages located between the cities of Izium and Kharkiv, in the east of the country.

These two villages had just been liberated by the Ukrainian army a few days before our arrival.

The angle of the subject was devoted to the daily life in these villages during the Russian occupation which lasted several months.

We also wanted to study the stigma left on the villagers after such an experience.

“Under the planes, Brussels”

Flying over Brussels... an inextricable file, the result of a complex equation: a private airport located in Flanders, of which it is an economic engine, but a stone's throw from Brussels, for whom the airport is above all synonymous with air pollution.

This report questions the way in which the Belgian State organizes the overflight of its capital rather than the fields of Flemish Brabant.
