The article covers a range of international and local news topics. It discusses the ongoing war in Gaza, marking 100 days with significant destruction and displacement, and the international calls for Israel to reduce its military offensive.

The French doctor admitted he didn't have the training or knowledge to treat trans patients - as experts say there's no need for a trans woman to visit a gynaecologist at all.

15 Sept 2023  |  euronews  |  English  |  Transgender Rights

A French gynaecologist, Victor Acharian, refused to treat a transgender woman, claiming he lacked the competence to do so. The incident led to a heated exchange and negative online reviews, with Acharian making controversial comments. The situation has sparked a debate in France and across Europe about the rights of transgender individuals to healthcare. Experts argue that while gynaecologists may not traditionally treat transgender patients, there is a growing need for medical professionals to be trained in transgender healthcare. Currently, few doctors are prepared to treat transgender patients, leading to significant healthcare gaps. Three French universities have begun offering training in trans healthcare to address this issue. The article also notes the increasing number of people seeking gender transition and the importance of including transgender health in medical curricula.

The poll also highlights a shift from pro-European green and liberal parties to the radical right, potentially hindering decision-making in Brussels despite a pro-European majority. Key challenges include climate change, rising prices, and the war in Ukraine, with defense becoming a priority for the EU.

The crackdown in Belarus may have stopped public dissent, but as these hackers suggest, it could be just driving it underground.

08 Sept 2023  |  euronews  |  English  |  Data leaks and privacy

The article by Hannah Somerville discusses the underground resistance in Belarus against President Alexander Lukashenko's regime, particularly focusing on the activities of a group of hackers known as the Belarusian Cyber-Partisans (CP). The CP claims to have obtained over five terabytes of data from the Belarusian Ministry of Internal Affairs, including passport details and internal communications. The group has begun leaking information about government operatives and plans to continue doing so to undermine the regime's efforts to suppress dissent. The article also touches on the broader digital activism in Belarus, including the role of platforms like Nexta and PandaDoc in supporting protests and aiding those targeted by the government. Additionally, the CP's hack revealed underreported COVID-19 deaths in Belarus. The Belarusian government has acknowledged the severity of the cyberattacks and has taken steps to label the CP's Telegram accounts as 'extremist'. Despite the potential violation of privacy and legal risks, the CP justifies its actions as a necessary response to the oppressive political climate in Belarus.
