At the end of the 1930s, roughly 70,000 Jews from Central Europe fled the Nazis and found refuge in Britain.

Today's FOCUS report puts one of the world's most common anti-Malaria drugs under the microscope. Lariam (Mefloquine) has been prescribed to travellers for years, and many have taken it without problems. But in some cases, the side effects have proved to be devastating. Lariam has been prescribed to travellers for decades. But some users have reported hallucinations and depression – years after taking the antimalarial medication. A group of them are now fighting for the drug to be recognised as the cause of their problems. Clement Bonnerot and Zohra Ben Miloud report.

Today's FOCUS report takes us to the plains and prairies of the American West. Over 70,000 mustang horses are now thought to roam free across a string of states, and the number is increasing. Ranchers and farmers have long been calling on the government to do more to limit the population of wild horses, but federal laws state they can't be culled. Authorities have begun rounding up and rehousing the mustangs, but animal rights groups say that techniques used are too cruel. Our team has more.

As Catalans vote in key regional elections, FRANCE 24 takes a look at the powerful, pro-independence group known as the Catalan National Assembly, or ANC.

And thanks to merchandise and donations, it has been able to raise €3 million in bail for the Catalan lawmakers under investigation. A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Laura Burloux.

An unprecedented wave of forced expulsions is taking place in Beijing, with tens of thousands of people - most of them migrant workers - forced from their homes in the less-developed suburban areas.

To mark International Migrants Day, we bring you a report from Germany, which saw a large number of migrants arrive in 2015.

Our correspondents followed one such teacher, Alaa, on a typical day working at a primary school. A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett, Jessica Sestilli and Laura Burloux.

As EU leaders meet in Brussels to discuss moving on to the next stage of Brexit talks, we focus on the thorny issue of the UK's border with Ireland. Despite last week's breakthrough deal to ensure the frontier remains "soft", the issue is expected to resurface since eventually, this should become the only land border between the UK and the EU - with huge implications for trade.
