The church by the airport: Inside Russia’s suspected spy activities in Sweden
Just about everything about the onion-domed Russian Orthodox church near the otherwise unassuming Swedish city of Vasteras seems odd: its close proximity to the airport, its taller-than-planned spire, and its elusive priest allegedly commended by the Kremlin’s foreign spy agency, SVR. Swedish intelligence services think so too, and have warned that Moscow is likely using it as a platform for espionage and other hostile hybrid activities potentially threatening Sweden’s national security.
Searching for radioactive waste in the depths of the Atlantic
For nearly five decades, more than 200,000 barrels of radioactive waste were dumped in the icy depths of the northeast Atlantic. Today, no one knows precisely where these barrels are located, or what kind of state they are in. On June 15, a French-led team of scientists will set sail from Brittany in a bid to map the barrels and assess their impacts on surrounding marine ecosystems.
‘We’ll make it home together’: A friendship between two deported women in Ravensbrück camp
During World War II, approximately 8,000 women were deported from France to Ravensbrück, Germany, the largest women’s concentration camp under the Third Reich. FRANCE 24 tells the tragic story of a friendship forged between Suzanne Bouvard and Simone Séailles that defied deportation and incarceration in a new long-format documentary, “We’ll make it home together”.
‘Unwavering friendship’: The true story of nine women who escaped a Nazi death march
“The Nine”, by Gwen Strauss, tells the extraordinary true story of how nine young women from the Resistance survived the Ravensbrück concentration camp and then escaped from a death march in Nazi Germany. Its American author recounts their remarkable getaway, their friendship and the lives the women led once back home.
Pope Francis, first Latin American pontiff and champion of the forgotten
As a pope who wanted to stay close to the people and at times advocated a more moderate line at the Church, Pope Francis presided over several key reforms during his time leading the Vatican. He died on Monday at the age of 88 after leading the Vatican for 12 years.
Haiti’s independence ransom: Macron offers ‘truth’, Haitians want reparations
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said a joint commission of French and Haitian historians would investigate the legacy of the “heavy price” Haiti was made to pay for its independence, two centuries after France extracted a crippling indemnity from its former colony. His statement made no mention of Haitian demands for reparations for the ransom imposed on the first people in the modern world to free themselves from slavery.
Saved from destruction: Paris show offers glimpse of Gaza’s archaeological treasures
Archaeological treasures across Gaza have been damaged and destroyed in the war that is once more raging in the Palestinian territory. Some that escaped the devastation went on show at the Arab World Institute on Thursday, April 3, shedding light on the extraordinary heritage of a land that has been for centuries a crossroads of civilisations.
Lithium: The white gold of the energy transition
The automotive industry’s adoption of lithium-ion batteries has turned lithium, a chemical element until now extracted in small amounts, into a strategic resource whose production will only increase.The dreamed-of transition to a fully electric future within the next 10 years has sparked a worldwide race to mine and refine this new white gold to fuel the transport of tomorrow.Home to more than 65 percent of the world’s known reserves, could Latin America’s “Lithium Triangle” formed by Argentina, Bolivia and Chile become the Saudi Arabia of the 21st century?
‘The Bibi Files’: Documentary reveals the police interrogations behind Netanyahu’s graft trial
FRANCE 24 reviews “The Bibi Files”, a new documentary by filmmakers Alexis Bloom and Alex Gibney, which features never-before-seen footage of Israeli police interrogating Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, his family and his inner circle on corruption allegations. The documentary was screened as a work-in-progress at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival on Monday, hours after a Jerusalem court rejected a petition by Netanyahu to block the screening.
