" The forgotten of the forgotten "

Françoise Wallemacq and Christophe Bernard. RTBF

We will focus on a personality from the world of psychiatry in Africa. His name is Grégoire Ahongbonon, and for more than 25 years, he has helped people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epileptics and depressed people. Patients often considered as crazy or possessed in these African countries. Grégoire Ahongbonon has created reintegration centers in several countries, centers where some former patients sometimes work. This is, no doubt, the key to his approach, which has for some time been of interest to specialists from Europe or Canada.

" Waiting for an organ donation "

Zoe Decker and Francesca Agiroffo RTS

In terms of organ donation, the Swiss are lagging behind in Europe. As a result, waiting lists are getting longer. Last year, 68 people died because they did not receive the organ that could have saved them in time. The political debate is now launched. A popular initiative wants to reverse the practice. Anyone who has not explicitly declared alive to oppose the removal of his organs would be a donor. But how is this reality lived today? Zoe Decker and Francesca Argiroffo met the actors of these stories where death sometimes prolongs life.

" When China sets in motion a strategy of influence in Canada "

Franck Desoer. CBC

China's will to power is expressed in different ways. It manifests itself, of course, politically and economically but also in the field of education. The Chinese government does not hesitate to intervene in foreign university campuses around the world, in Europe as in North America, to defend its image and its political interests.
