It's a rare case of a species being saved from near-extinction. Twenty years ago, the Iberian lynx was the most threatened feline in the world due to poaching and the animals' natural habitat being turned into farmland. Today, the species is practically out of danger thanks to conservation efforts in Spain. Our correspondents report.

On March 11, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by Interpol on a warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and transferred to The Hague in the Netherlands to stand trial. The former Philippine leader is accused of crimes against humanity for his deadly war on drugs. Human rights groups say his policies left tens of thousands of Filipino men dead, many of them from poor backgrounds with no proven connections to drug use. But despite these accusations, many Filipinos continue to support Duterte and denounce a worsening security situation, particularly in the capital Manila. Meanwhile, relatives of victims are demanding justice. FRANCE 24's correspondents Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Jan Camenzind Broomby report.

Romanians head to the polls on Sunday for a re-run of last November's presidential election, which was annulled following reports of foreign interference. Last year's vote saw the surprise victory of a previously unknown far-right independent candidate, Calin Georgescu. An isolationist and ultra-nationalist, Georgescu has ties to neo-Legionary groups, which have roots in the pre-war Iron Guard fascist movement. FRANCE 24's Maria Gerth-Niculescu reports. 

Since 2014, the regimes installed by Russia and its local collaborators in occupied regions of Ukraine have been arbitrarily detaining civilians on a massive scale. The Ukrainian government puts the number of those currently in detention at over 16,000. Journalists, activists, local politicians: just about anyone the occupation authorities take a dislike to is in danger of being taken prisoner. Some are held for a few days, others for years. FRANCE 24's Gulliver Cragg investigates with a consortium of media under the "Forbidden Stories" umbrella.

As he marks 100 days since returning to office for his second term, US President Donald Trump is facing countless challenges, many of his own making. On-off tariffs have sent markets lurching. A public meltdown with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office shocked allies in Europe. Despite his pledge to end it within 24 hours, the war in Ukraine grinds on, as does the conflict in Gaza. FRANCE 24's Etienne Paponaud and Peter O'Brien recap the first 100 days of Trump's explosive return to power.

Eighty years ago, on April 29, 1945, the last SS troops fled the German camp of Ravensbrück, the largest Nazi concentration camp for women. Among those held there was Suzanne Bouvard, a young woman from Brittany. During her deportation, she became friends with Simone Séailles, a Parisian resistance member. In life and in death, the two women bound their destinies together. After the war, Suzanne decided to rebuild her life by planting orchards. Rooting herself in the land was her way of healing and forgetting the hell of the camps. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard report. 

The duel between the Liberals and Conservatives in Canada's federal election this Monday is shaping up to be a close one. Led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Liberals were struggling at the beginning of January but are now in leading in the polls ahead of Pierre Poilièvre's Conservatives, against the backdrop of a trade war and threats of annexation by US President Donald Trump. Our correspondents François Rihouay and Joanne Profeta visited the town of Peterborough in southern Ontario. Home to 40 percent of Canadians and more than a third of the country's parliamentary seats, the province is seen as key in the path to election victory.

The US Navy's Top Gun program is famous around the world thanks to the success of the Tom Cruise films. But the downside of this elite profession is the mental and physical toll it takes on the pilots. Many airmen suffer from neurological disorders and depression. Some have even committed suicide. The problem has now reached the US Congress, which has requested an investigation from the Navy. Our France 2 colleagues report, with FRANCE 24's Lauren Bain.

It's a price tag that has obsessed US President Donald Trump since his first term: the cost of the military shield the US provides to its allies. Particularly in Trump's sights are South Korea and Japan. Both countries pay around €1 billion per year for American protection on their own soil, a sum deemed insufficient by the US president. Last October, Trump even claimed that South Korea should pay 10 times more. Is the US president serious, or is this another high-stakes bluff? FRANCE 24's Adam Hancock, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Chloé Borgnon report.

On the streets of Governador Valadares, in the agricultural Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, references to the United States are everywhere. This wealthy town has become famous for the large number of residents who have left for the United States. Although US President Donald Trump has tightened his immigration policy, this change is unlikely to have a major impact on the flow of Brazilians to the US, according to experts and the authorities. The American dream continues to flourish in Governador Valadares, as FRANCE 24's Fanny Lothaire, Mathieu Leme and Jan Onoszko report.
