Blockade of Power Stations and Control of Shipments - Montauban

Discussion between the Ukrainian-speaking truck driver and Mr. Fabrice Dupuy (Fnsea82) using a translator on his smartphone. A truck driver who speaks Ukrainian cannot open the doors of his truck (registered LT at the front and PL for the load), but a misunderstanding and translation issue disrupts the inspection process because the doors are actually locked with a seal and the driver cannot open them before delivery. There was a moment of tension, but the discussion resumed with the intervention of another truck driver who spoke French and Ukrainian with a police officer, and in the end we followed the truck driver to the Action depot. Inspection of a truck. Agricultural mobilization. Blockade of power stations and control of shipments. JA and FDSEA Tarn-et-Garonne. Farmers angry about the health management of contagious nodular dermatitis (DNC) and the signing of the EU-Mercosur agreements. Viti. Macf. France, Montbartier, January 15, 2026.

Snow squall warnings were issued Wednesday morning, January 14 across parts of the Chicago area, bringing brief but intense snowfall, whiteout conditions, and strong winds that created hazardous travel conditions.

Exile in Limbo - Watching Home Burn from a Distance - Iraq

ERBIL, Iraq In the Baharka district, the daily existence of Syrian Kurdish refugees is defined by a haunting duality. While laborers attempt to focus on their work in bakeries and construction sites, in local clinics, doctors attend to patients whose physical ailments are often deepened by the psychological trauma of the war, checking vitals while the sick anxiously await updates from home.Inside the shelters, even the children have replaced cartoons with graphic news feeds, gathering around small screens to watch the destruction of a homeland they can barely remember. Whether in a clinic, a workshop, or a home, thousands here live a surreal reality physically safe in the Kurdistan Region, but mentally living on the frontlines of the conflict in Rojava and Aleppo Iraq on January 11, 2026.

Exile in Limbo - Watching Home Burn from a Distance - Iraq

ERBIL, Iraq In the Baharka district, the daily existence of Syrian Kurdish refugees is defined by a haunting duality. While laborers attempt to focus on their work in bakeries and construction sites, in local clinics, doctors attend to patients whose physical ailments are often deepened by the psychological trauma of the war, checking vitals while the sick anxiously await updates from home.Inside the shelters, even the children have replaced cartoons with graphic news feeds, gathering around small screens to watch the destruction of a homeland they can barely remember. Whether in a clinic, a workshop, or a home, thousands here live a surreal reality physically safe in the Kurdistan Region, but mentally living on the frontlines of the conflict in Rojava and Aleppo Iraq on January 11, 2026.
