Season 2023 2023

A model city just a few years ago, Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) is today in the grip of an outbreak of violence never seen before. More than three thousand three hundred attacks were recorded there in 2022 (+8% compared to 2021) and its crime rate places it just behind Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône).

It’s a never-ending nightmare for all homeowners: discovering that squatters have taken possession of their house or apartment and not being able to have them evicted immediately. Today, with the economic crisis and the collapse of purchasing power, a new anxiety has emerged, that of bad-paying tenants who, once legally entering the premises, very quickly stop paying their rent. And dislodging them is an obstacle course. The law has certainly evolved, including increased sanctions for squatters of up to three years in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros, but it remains ineffective. In recent years, only 10% of eviction procedures have been carried out by law enforcement, even though they had all been validated by the courts. Some small owners, like Maria, therefore no longer trust the justice system. She had rented her house to a couple with two children. Shortly after, the family stopped paying

Since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, most countries around the world have embarked on a new arms race. As a result, in 2023, military spending will exceed 2,000 billion euros on a global scale. A boon for France, the second largest arms exporter behind the United States and ahead of Russia. Less known than the luxury industry or gastronomy, the arms sector is one of the engines of our economy. This industry brought France 30 billion euros in 2022, employs more than 200,000 people – as many as the automobile industry – and supports entire regions. Submarines, missiles and cannons are being built all over the country.

Saturday October 7: the world wakes up in shock. More than 1,300 Israeli civilians have just been massacred. While the population believed itself to be safe behind its walls, its iron dome and its barbed wire, and protected by its invincible army, the country experienced an unprecedented attack. In action, a terrorist group: Hamas. An Islamist faction that no one, especially not the Israeli intelligence services, believed capable of such an operation. So who are these men, their foreheads girded with green headbands, capable of such atrocities? Who are the supporters of the organization? How did they manage to plan this attack?

According to a report from the Council of Europe, relayed by all sports federations, one in seven children are victims of sexual assault in the world of sport. A particularly worrying figure. Wherever there are minors, there are predators and football, with two million two hundred thousand licensees, is one of the most exposed environments. For more than a year, the magazine's reporters investigated the heart of a system that does not protect children. From the small amateur club to the large professional club where future football stars train, no field is spared. Young people everywhere are easy prey. Far from their families, sometimes in a fragile situation, with the need to be noticed in order to succeed, they often rely on adults, coaches or recruiters who sometimes promise them the dream of a great career. But among them, some are pedophiles. Like Ahmed Gueninèche, amateur trainer

After twelve years of a civil war which left more than 500,000 dead, Syria is a ravaged country. At its head, Bashar al-Assad, one of the rare dictators not to have been swept away by the Arab Revolutions. His country is nothing more than a field of ruins. Everywhere, the same observation of desolation and destruction with 90% of the population living below the poverty line. Despite the bans, the teams from the magazine "Enquête Exclusive" filmed what remains of one of the once most prosperous countries in the Middle East.

It is the smallest and most mysterious army in the world: the Pontifical Swiss Guard. Its mission is to ensure the safety of the Pope. Made up of one hundred and fifty men, also called the Swiss Guards, this elite corps lives in a barracks in the heart of Vatican City. We see them during official ceremonies, escorting the Pope with their armor and halberds from another time. And some of them, the most experienced, accompany him on all his trips. Beyond the folkloric aspect of their costumes, these Swiss guards receive high-ranking military training: martial arts, close protection and handling of the latest automatic weapons. Another particularity: the Pope's soldiers must be of Swiss nationality and fervent Catholics. All took an oath to fight to the death to protect their faith and the Holy Father.

It is a thin strip of land that stretches for four thousand two hundred kilometers, making Chile a geographical exception. From the glaciers of Patagonia to the Atacama Desert, the country combines all the extremes: temperatures from -50 to +60 degrees, breathtaking landscapes, the mountains of the Andes cordillera (six thousand meters above sea level). ) to the most fertile plains, renowned for their wines, exported throughout the world.
