While international attention is on Bakhmout, Ukraine, the front extends for hundreds of kilometers, including Soumy, which has endured over 250 Russian strikes in three days. The U.S. has spent millions aiding Ukraine's army, a support increasingly contested by pro-Trump advocates. Trump criticizes Biden, claiming he could end the war in a day and sees China as the main enemy, citing the shot-down Chinese balloons. The CPAC hosted its annual conservative meeting. French Labor Minister Olivier Dusspot's comment on pension reform being a 'left-wing reform' sparked outrage among NUPES and disbelief among Les Républicains and RN.

More than eight months after the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, many Armenian soldiers remain missing, causing anguish among families searching for their loved ones. Issues with DNA testing have led to mistrust and pressure on the government. Families like Larissa Dureyan's continue to search for their missing relatives, while others, such as Narine Gasparyan, have faced the pain of misidentified remains. Forensic experts are overwhelmed with the volume of cases and the condition of the remains, some of which are severely burned, possibly due to the use of white phosphorus. The Red Cross has advised waiting to identify multiple bones before returning remains to families, but this is challenging due to the urgency and pressure from grieving relatives. Some families seek second opinions from private companies or labs abroad, adding to the complexity of the situation.

The recent war in Karabakh has left soldiers and civilians with deep psychological scars, challenging the local mental health professionals who lacked war-related experience. Santé Arménie, a collective of health experts from France and Armenia, mobilized to provide support. The Armenian mental health sector, already fragile, was unprepared for the conflict's aftermath. Despite the government's request for assistance, financial backing for treatments remains absent. New therapies like EMDR are being introduced, and there's a push to improve the health system long-term. The diaspora has played a significant role in offering help, reflecting a newfound unity and commitment. The war's mental health consequences are profound, with PTSD and severe depression prevalent among those affected. The need for interdisciplinary approaches and a better quality of life for recovery is emphasized.

In July 2010, Mexican television cameraman Alejandro Hernandez Pacheco and a colleague were kidnapped by the Sinaloa cartel, who mistook them for rival Zetas cartel members. After being beaten and threatened, they were released when the cartel realized killing journalists would be detrimental to them. Hernandez, who worked for Televisa in Torreón, Mexico, fled to the U.S. and was granted asylum in 2011. He now resides in Colorado with his family and works as a cameraman. The incident highlights the extreme dangers journalists face in regions controlled by drug cartels.
