2025, the year of the intensification of a total and deadly war, which nothing and no one seems able to stop, targeting military personnel and civilians, and which has now claimed more than 1.5 million lives or left that many wounded on both sides. But 2025 is also the year of our break with Donald Trump's America, an America with violent and unpredictable reactions, which risks abandoning the old continent, its most loyal ally for 80 years, for Vladimir Putin. How can we stop this bloodshed on our doorstep? How can we contain the master of the Kremlin, a dictator whose predatory logic threatens to spread beyond Ukraine? Sabotage, ghost ships, interference operations, and drone flights: he is already waging a hybrid war against the rest of Europe. Is armed conflict between Europe and Russia now a possibility?

Did you know that our eating habits have a greater impact on the climate than our cars? The production of food for human consumption accounts for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, compared to only 28% for transportation, for example. When we eat, we have a direct impact on the planet! Guy Lagache takes us into the field to answer a simple question: how is it possible to feed ourselves without jeopardizing the environmental balance? How can we continue to enjoy our food... without destroying the planet?
