In Ireland, being a single mother was long frowned upon. In this very Catholic country, more than 50,000 women were placed in homes for single mothers, where their babies were taken away from them and given up for adoption. Many of these children are now looking for their biological mothers and are fighting to have their ordeal recognised.

The housing crisis in Germany’s capital is causing misery for vulnerable people. Those excluded from the property market are forced to live in unsuitable housing. In the Lichtenberg district, a container park houses hundreds of people who cannot afford decent accommodation. But for how much longer?

Tidying, clearing out, decluttering: social media is awash with advice on how to simplify or improve your life by living with less things. Minimalists want to cut down on worldly possessions and even people, getting rid of toxic people in their lives. But does minimalism make them happier?

In southern Italy the village of Pentedattilo is a ghost town. For forty year Rossella Aquilanti decided to live here in this abandoned paradise where she looks after a small herd of goats. Two years ago she was joined by a young Malian, Maka Tounkara, who crossed the Mediterranean in a small boat. Together they want to save the village from destruction.

Bulgaria is committed to moving away from coal by 2038, not that simple in a country that relies heavily on the fossil fuel. In the mining region of Stara Zagora workers fear losing their jobs in the green transition.

Bulgaria: A Difficult Green Transition

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.

Focus on an innovative approach to police training in Switzerland. Over the last twenty years, the Swiss police force has taken a new approach, placing psychology at the heart of policing. Officers are trained to develop empathy in their work to diffuse situations, a model that is unique in Europe.

Greek-speaking and Orthodox Christians, the Roums of Turkey are also known as the last Byzantines. Their presence on the shores of the Bosphorus, on the islands around Turkey and in Anatolia pre-dates the ottomans, yet today they number fewer than 2,000. The 20th century was particularly bad for this minority: Pogroms, forced labour camps, mass expulsions, violence and racism took their toll on this community Today, the few remaining Greeks of Turkey try to keep their traditions alive.
