France's annual agricultural show gets underway in Paris

France 24 · Feb 21, 2026 · Collected from RSS

Summary

The annual Paris agricultural show has gotten off to a rocky start this year, with the absence of cows for the first time in its history, following the outbreak of lumpy skin disease in 2025. But they're not the only ones missing, two major farmer unions have boycotted the traditional unions' meeting with President Macron, in protest over unstable incomes and the controversial EU-Mercorsur trade deal, which has pushed the farmers to a breaking point.

"We returned from hell’: Rights group raises alarm over torture in Israeli jails

The Committee to Protect Journalists published a report alleging the systematic abuse of Palestinian media workers in Israeli detention centers between 2023 and 2026. Through interviews with dozens of former detainees, the organization documented harrowing accounts of torture, starvation, and sexual violence aimed at silencing the press. The findings highlight that the majority of these journalists were held under administrative detention without formal charges or access to legal counsel. Evidence such as medical records and photographs supports claims of extreme weight loss and untreated injuries resulting from physical beatings. The advocacy group is now calling for international accountability and independent investigations into these alleged violations of humanitarian law. Despite these testimonies, the Israeli military maintains that it adheres to international standards and does not intentionally target members of the media.
