          Caroline Darian, Gisele Pelicot's Daughter, Is No Longer Speaking to Her Mother

          Caroline Darian, daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, broke off all contact with her mother after the trial of her father Dominique Pelicot, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging, raping and having his wife raped by other men. During the trial, Caroline, who claims to have also been abused by her father, felt betrayed by her mother, who refused to believe her accusations despite the discovery of compromising photos of her on Dominique's computer. She blames Gisèle for abandoning her, for never trying to get her husband to confess and for silencing her when she expressed her pain. While Gisèle has become a media figure and a symbol of victimhood, Caroline says she feels like a ‘forgotten victim’. For her, her mother is not a heroine. Today, she only addresses her with distant pleasantries and believes that Gisèle failed in her role as a mother. -- File photo - Gisele Pelicot’s children Caroline Darian (R) and David arrive at the courthouse for a hearing in the trial of Dominique Pelicot accused of druggi

              Kabul Kangana Grape Storage - Afghanistan

              Kabul Kangana Grape Storage - Afghanistan

              A villager, along with his children, shows two fully sealed Kangana jars in the northern outskirts of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Aug. 25, 2025. The Kangana, an ancient clay jar to preserve grapes, has been widely used in the rural outskirts north of Kabul. This century-old Afghan container enables grapes harvested in the heat of summer to stay fresh until the following spring. A Kangana is an ellipsoid formed by placing two bowl-shaped compoents face to face, with no apparent front or back side. Once sealed with mud around its brim, the jar becomes nearly airtight, functioning as a natural "vacuum storage container." In some Afghan villages, the Kangana was once used to store peppers and apples as well. Today, with these vegetables and fruits available year-round, grapes remain as the main object in its starage.
