In the extreme north-west of Nepal, the Limi valley is hidden behind a series of peaks exceeding 6000 m altitude. During the winter, she finds herself cut off from the world. To deliver vaccines and medicines, a handful of men and women embark on an adventure lasting several days. The team alternates walking and traveling in 4/4. But, mule caravans prove to be a much more reliable means of transportation than all-terrain vehicles. The western regions are the most isolated in the country. Crossing the slopes is, each time, a dance with death. Nagendra launches his truck to the edge of the abyss, ready to take any risk to deliver on time and support his family.

Today, the problem of rubbish in space has become a nightmare for astronauts and space operators. The amount of debris in space has been steadily increasing for the past 60 years as more and more satellites have been placed in orbit and numerous missiles have been tested. In 2009, two working satellites collided sending tons of new space trash into orbit travelling at an incredible speed. This kind of event creates a vicious circle as each time debris collides, more and more waste is produced. All those involved in the conquest of space are now forced to monitor the clouds of waste constantly and to divert their working satellites in case of emergency. But many satellites have been “forgotten” and will inevitably cause collisions. Currently, all efforts to minimize or avoid this debris are inadequate and may have heavy consequences on our satellites and other activities on Earth. It’s high time we cleaned up our space mess!

Approximately 90% of the emeralds sold globally come from Colombia. While the official market is regulated, a black market has developed that is largely unchecked. This illegal sector is more lucrative than the gold or diamond trade. A journalist in Bogota is uncovering the truth behind this illicit industry, and the “esmeralderos”, or emerald traders, who sell their wares on the streets. The emeralds come primarily from Muzo, located in the north of the country. The ten nearby mines supply 75% of the world’s emeralds and are renowned for producing the highest quality gems.
