Catholic school abuse scandal lands French PM Bayrou in hot water

French Prime Minister François Bayrou is fighting allegations that he ignored reports of the widespread sexual abuse of minors at a Catholic boarding school in southwestern Béarn, his political bastion for several decades, in a case that has weakened his already fragile minority government and sparked calls for greater scrutiny of France’s Church-run private schools.

EU should give Ukraine ‘very strong security guarantees’: Finland’s former president Niinistö

Europe is facing increasingly hybrid threats, and it lacks a shared culture of preparedness, according to our guest. Sauli Niinistö was the president of Finland from 201HJYYUU2 to 2024 and is now a special advisor to the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. In that capacity, he has authored a major report: « Safer together: A path towards a fully prepared Union ». We discuss Niinistö’s proposals to improve the EU’s civil and military preparedness, and debrief some of the latest international diplomatic manoeuvres related to Ukraine.

The lost children of Romania’s Ceaușescu dictatorship

Thirty-five years after the horrors of the Ceaușescu dictatorship were discovered in Romania, our reporters investigated one of the darkest episodes in the country’s history – the squalid, state-run institutions where thousands of children were locked away and abused. An estimated 15,000 children died, mostly in so-called hospitals for those often misdiagnosed as severely disabled. While part of society is nostalgic for the Communist era, the work of collective memory and justice is far from complete.

Roumanie : les enfants meurtris de Ceausescu

Trente ans après la découverte des horreurs de la dictature Ceaușescu, en Roumanie, nos reporters ont enquêté sur l’un des épisodes les plus sombres de l’histoire du pays, celle des « foyers-hôpitaux », où des milliers d’enfants ont été placés et maltraités. Alors qu’une partie de la société est nostalgique de l’époque communiste, le travail de mémoire et de justice est loin d’être abouti en Roumanie.

Can artificial intelligence be feminist as calls against inclusivity grow?

A few concepts arguably dominated remarks at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris this February: inclusivity, ethics and deregulation. Debates about these themes, complimentary for some but conflicting for others, will have a significant impact on whether the technology can or will be used to address societal ills, including gender inequality. While the French government highlighted its pursuit of inclusive, open and safe AI, some of the world’s biggest leaders in technology, including the US and the UK, refused to sign the joint declaration vowing to do the same. With the White House both ideologically opposed to such objectives and even linking them to stifled innovation, is it possible to use artificial intelligence as a tool to pursue gender equality? Erin Ogunkeye spoke to Dr. Eleanor Drage, senior research fellow at the University of Cambridge and Zinnya del Villar, Director of Data, Technology and Innovation at Data-Pop Alliance.

Le Royaume-Uni s’empoisonne avec ses propres eaux usées

Depuis le Brexit, le Royaume-Uni échappe aux normes européennes de qualité de l’eau. En Angleterre et au Pays de Galles, des eaux usées non traitées ont inondé les rivières pendant près de 150 jours, les transformant en décharges à ciel ouvert. Cette pollution nuit gravement à la santé des habitants et ravage les écosystèmes.
