Before, it was simple: there was selfishness or altruism. Either we got rich or we helped others. But now these binary divisions are fading. A supporter of effective altruism, the young philosopher William MacAskill proposes to go even further with "arithmetic altruism". This is, applying the concept of profitability to charitable contributions.

"They called us: 'Tutsi! Tutsi!' They took you out of the tent and did what they wanted with you." 

Prisca, Marie-Jeanne and Concessa say they survived the Rwandan genocide and sought safety in refugee camps, only to be repeatedly raped and abused by the French soldiers sent there to protect them. All describe similar horrors: abduction from their tent, the gang rapes, and the photos of the assaults taken by the soldiers. “We naively thought that the white man was a saviour, that he would bring peace,” sighs one of the women. While French army denies all accusations of rape, the three women filed a complaint with the French courts in 2004 and 2012. The investigation is now at a standstill.

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.

This programme by France.tv Slash is part of the European Collection, a joint initiative from European public service media (ARD, ARTE, France Télévisions, SRG SSR, RTBF and ZDF), coordinated by ARTE.

Urban gardens are unlikely to feed a city, but could they be used for education and social integration too?

Six wheelchair users discuss their very personal journeys, and while some see their wheelchair as a means to making the most of life with their physical disability, others still find it hard to come to terms with their situation.

What effects does pride have on a sense of community? In Poland, Jagoda Marinić observes pride in many forms: Women are proud to fight abortion laws. National pride is expressed in the desire to uphold the memory of fallen soldiers. And LGBTQIA+ communities see pride in the fight for their rights.

Entire generations have learned about sex through mainstream porn, blurring the lines between personal desires and platform-driven fantasies. But if our sexuality is shaped by algorithms, can’t we take back some control? The post-porn movement is doing exactly that. Aimed at creating pornography that reflects honest, consensual sex – its creators are making waves online.

Can Post-porn Awaken Our True Desires?

What if porn reflected our true desires? Post-porn aims to be more ethical, more honest and more revolutionary.

Italy, led by Giorgia Meloni's far right is set to make access to Italian nationality easier. The country follows the example of Germany which also relaxed the requirements for acquiring citizenship in June.

In the last 50 years, the proportion of asthma and allergy sufferers in industrialised countries has risen from five to 30 per cent. This is likely due to the lack of diversity of microbes in our increasingly germ-free environment. This documentary look at how microbes affect our health and how we can plan urban space to renew our contact with the natural world.

Could microbes hold the key to understanding the increase in a number of chronic conditions and allergies?

Climate change is making the weather increasingly unpredictable and volatile. Extreme weather events are on the increase: In a matter of minutes, hailstorms can destroy an entire year's harvests and flash floods can take lives and destroy homes.

Forty years ago, in June 1982, Israel invaded southern Lebanon, dubbed Operation Peace for Galilee by the Israelis. A small guerrilla group came together in secret to resist this offensive. Formed and supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran, it officially declared itself in 1985 as Hezbollah: The Party of God.
Four decades later, this small group has grown to become one of the most important military and political forces in the Middle East. A party of resistance for some, a terrorist group for others, Hezbollah is admired as much as it is feared. But the organisation, practically a state within a state, is living through turbulent times as Lebanon is experiencing a major political and economic crisis.

As  Lebanon experiences an existential crisis, a focus on the history of militant group Hezbollah, a controversial organisation supported by Iran.

Cars produce 15% of the European Union’s C02 emissions. One of the aims of the EU’s Green Deal is to ban the sale of petrol cars by 2035, instead switching to electric vehicles. But this goal is looking increasingly out of reach as sales of EVs are stagnating. In Norway, however, it’s another story: 94% of new cars sold are electric. We look at what’s slowing down electric vehicle use in the EU and what the industry can learn from its Nordic neighbour.

Why is electric car use stalling in Europe?

High prices and infrastructure problems are hampering EV sales across the EU.
