Last stop: Dimock, where fracking has left undeniable health and environmental scars, but Trump won overwhelming support despite his promise to boost oil and gas.

Donald Trump returns to the White House on Monday for a second term.

To understand how he clinched the presidency and what’s at stake, my @france24 colleagues @DavidRichf24, @samiamth and I hit the road to Pennsylvania – the swing state that decided the 2024 election.

[Lara Bullens @larabullens]

Second stop: Reading, home to Pennsylvania’s largest Latino community and where Trump gained ground among voters he once struggled to reach.

Heartbreaking news 😔

[Lara Bullens @larabullens]

With a *surprise* take on how prohibitive drug policies are (still) failing and why it is so important to change how consumers are treated.

[FRANCE 24 English @France24_en]

🔴🇫🇷 #France is grappling with an alarming surge in drug-related violence, from grisly murders in Marseille to deadly clashes in smaller towns. As criminal networks thrive, the government has declared a national fight against trafficking.

Latest for @France24_en about very young and inexperienced Russian conscripts captured by Ukraine to pressure Moscow into a new POW exchange.

[FRANCE 24 English @France24_en]

Ukraine's capture of hundreds of Russian conscripts in Kursk region undermines Putin's war rhetoric

We lie to people with dementia. In fact, it is an integral part of the care process. But navigating the intricacies of dementia care is a delicate dance.

The trauma experienced by WWII veterans of D-Day left a lasting impact on their children at a time before PTSD was recognised, leaving families struggling to understand and cope with the psychological scars. Read my latest piece for @France24_en below:

Yesterday, my colleagues went on strike to protest a proposed merger of several media groups in the French public broadcasting sector championed by Culture Minister @datirachida.

[Annette Young @AnnetteF24]

Staff from @france24 @France24_en @France24_ar and @France24_es protesting in Paris over the planned merger of all French public media.
These are journalists from all over the globe who work hard to provide independent & reliable reporting. #SupportF24

Some 16,000 employees would be affected. Our survival and our jobs are at stake, despite what the government says about “strengthening” public broadcasting and making it “more agile”.
