We seldom speak about young people who choose to stay in rural areas. For them, living in the city is synonymous with stress and superficiality. The less they go, they better off they are. Journalist Camélia set off to the French countryside to meet with Jérôme, Guyliane and Mélanie – three young people who opened up about their daily lives, far from all clichés.

When you think urban gardens and vegetable patches, you might think locally produced food and self-sufficient cities, but feeding a whole city with just a few rooftop vegetable gardens was never going to be likely. So why are more and more of them springing up? Could these green spaces also be used for education, therapy and social integration? Laetitia Limmois investigates.

In April 1974, left-wing factions in the Portuguese military staged a coup against the authoritarian regime which had been in power for half a century.

On 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed, enshrining the creation of NATO just four years after the end of the Second World War. The primary objective of this military alliance of twelve European and North American countries was to prevent war in Europe and to counter the expansion of the Soviet bloc. Since its creation in the Cold War, the organisation has grown from 12 to 31 member states - including several former Eastern Bloc nations. Weakened by its turbulent history, NATO is facing a growing number of challenges: the difficulty of coordinating its members, the logistical obstacles in the event of an attack on European soil, and the threat, raised by Donald Trump, of an American withdrawal, at a time when European defence is almost entirely dependent on the United States.

A look back at the turbulent history of the military alliance facing unprecedented challenges in the face of Putin's Russia.

A joyous return to the stage for Zach Condon and his European folk-focussed indie project Beirut. This is music as imagined landscape, a romantic sweep of Europe's past through the eyes of an American troubadour. From his Balkan-tinged debut in 2006, through a bohemian France dreamed up on 2007's The Flying Cup Club and on towards the Dutch and Mexican influences of his later material, Beirut is clearly the work of a singular vision while remaining hauntingly familiar, a half-remembered dream of a past life. Latest album Hadsel was inspired by a short time spent exiled in northern Norway, an emotional return to form released in 2023.
