In China’s northwestern Xinjiang region, more than one million ethnic Uighurs are believed to be held in internment camps. The authorities call them "re-education through labour camps", but victims say the reality is forced indoctrination for Uighurs held in alarming conditions. From China to Canada, via Turkey and France, our reporters Angélique Forget and Antoine Védeilhé investigated the plight of the Uighurs and gathered rare testimony. This is their exclusive report.

Sudanese protesters have been holding a sit-in outside the army HQ in Khartoum for almost a month. In the wake of the ouster of President Omar al-Bashir on April 11, they are demanding the end of military rule and want a democratic transition in Sudan. Our reporters Bastien Renouil, Elodie Cousin and Julia Steers followed three activists involved in this peaceful uprising, all of them ordinary Sudanese who dream of a better future.

On August 15, 1947, after 150 years under British rule, India gained independence. Gandhi and Nehru earned their place in the history books. But few mention Subhas Chandra Bose, an Indian independence activist controversial for his agressive nationalism – and who solicited Adolf Hitler's help in liberating India from colonial rule. Our reporters have been finding out more.

Could Red Sea corals save the world’s reefs? While most corals are very heat-sensitive, languishing if water temperatures rise by as little as 2 degrees Celsius, Red Sea specimens appear to be adapted to a warmer, more salty environment. And these are precisely the conditions that await our oceans as a result of climate change.

FRANCE 24's reporters Claire Paccalin and Zohra Ben Miloud explore what humanitarian organisations are calling a mental health crisis among migrants and refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos. They say the 5,000 people living in Moria Reception and Identification Centre, a camp run by the Greek government, are particularly affected by poor living conditions and a sense of hopelessness.

Twenty-five years after the Rwandan genocide, both Kigali and Paris are still trying to shed light on some of the grey areas of the massacre of nearly one million people between April and July 1994. Did the then French government turn a blind eye to the evidence? Did it allow some of the perpetrators to go free? In this exclusive documentary, we hear from witnesses and observers in an effort to understand what led to one of the worst genocides in history.

In the Rio Grande Valley, construction of Donald Trump's border wall will soon begin along the US-Mexico border. But not everyone in Texas is in favour of this plan, even among Republicans, as our reporters found out.

Kashmir, in the foothills of the Himalayas, is a region claimed by both India and Pakistan. On both sides of the border, the mainly Muslim population is caught up in a decades-long conflict. The desire for independence is strongest on the Indian side. Separatist groups, sometimes supported by Pakistan, are violently opposed to Indian rule. With tensions high following a recent attack on Indian security forces, our reporters went to Kashmir to see how the conflict has affected ordinary people.

In Mongolia, nomadic herders are seen as the proud heirs of Genghis Khan and are nicknamed "the emperors of the plains". But in recent years, global warming has had dramatic consequences for their way of life. The "dzuds" in particular - harsh winters, which follow scorching summers - have done terrible damage. In the steppes, weakened by the cold and lack of food, animals die out one after the other. Nomads have seen their herds of livestock decimated - already a meagre source of income.

In this special report, FRANCE 24 met jihadi brides fleeing the final military operation to defeat the Islamic State (IS) group in eastern Syria. Baghouz is the jihadists' last stronghold, and the fighters along with civilians have been fleeing in droves. To some of these women, getting out of the so-called "caliphate" is a relief, to others it's a betrayal of what they believe in. FRANCE 24 met these so-called jihadi brides in a refugee camp, where our team heard their often chilling stories.
