In this edition of Correspondents, France 24 invites you to go around the world with the journalists of our chain. This week we will go to France to hear the testimony of one of the victims of abuse by members of the clergy of the Catholic Church. Also to Bolivia, where Cerro Rico de Potosí is at risk due to mining, and to Russia, a pioneer country in making a feature film with scenes filmed entirely in space.
On France, the findings of a report have shaken the Catholic Church. An independent commission revealed that between 1950 and 2020, more than 330,000 minors were abused by members of the clergy or by people linked to the institutions. Pope Francis expressed his shame at what happened in that country during the last 70 years. Our colleagues from France 3 went to meet one of the many victims who continue to cry out for justice: a woman haunted by the specter of sexual assault and who kept her story silent for almost four decades.
The dispute between Paris and London over the crossings of irregular migrants continues. France is now asking for negotiations to be carried out to reach a migration agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom, which, after Brexit, is no longer part of the bloc of nations. French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin denounces that the United Kingdom has not paid the money it promised to help curb the phenomenon.
On BoliviaSince the Rico de Potosí hill was discovered in 1545, its wealth in silver continues to be exploited as if it were inexhaustible. However, the interior landslides threaten the stability of the mountain and the lives of almost 20,000 miners every day. Experts say a catastrophe could occur, which is why some have called for government intervention. A report from our correspondent in Bolivia, Mery Vaca.
Russia it was the country that put the first satellite into orbit, it also took the first dog and the first man into space. Now comes a new milestone, the most recent Soyuz spacecraft to arrive at the International Space Station transported a very particular crew: director Klim Shipenko and actress Yulia Peresild, who have the mission of filming ‘The Challenge’, which will be the first feature film to contain scenes shot entirely in space.
