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.

Sanitation and Water Pollution - Indonesia

Children are seen playing in household wastewater that flows to the canal in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on June 3, 2025. This scene highlights the significant environmental challenges associated with inadequate sanitation and water pollution. According to reports from the World Bank (2021), access to decent sanitation in Indonesia remains a critical issue, with millions of households lacking a safe waste disposal system. Studies by the Environmental Health Journal (2020) also show that exposure to domestic wastewater can increase the prevalence of waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, typhus, and skin infections, especially in children. It is estimated that more than 50% of cases of diarrhoea in children under five years in urban areas are related to contaminated water sources (WHO, 2019). This condition not only poses a serious health risk for the local community but also has a long-term impact on water ecosystems. Photo by Aditya Sutanta/ABACAPRESS.COM
