There are almost 8,000 rare diseases in the world and in Europe, more than 30 million people suffer from them. But for pharmaceutical companies, the potential profit is too low and won't cover the cost of the research into new treatments. Patients therefore have no choice but to learn to live with their disease.

In 2018, in Zgierza, Poland, an illegal plastic waste dump on the outskirts of the city went up in flames. The smoke column could be seen for miles, and the fire took a week to put out.

Jenny and her partner Pascal both come from the village of Mandern, and they wanted to settle down here. They even reserved a piece of land here.

Faced with more frequent and violent natural disasters caused by climate change, animals and plants are adapting. Some species, such as sharks, which are able to sense the change in atmospheric pressure of a coming hurricane, move away from danger. Others learn to live with it, such as curlews, which use the hot ash from erupting volcanoes in Papua New Guinea to incubate their eggs.
