For his second trip abroad since the start of the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has chosen Iran. Suffocated by economic sanctions, Russia is counting on its ally to develop new partnerships far from the West. The thorny file of the cereals blocked in the ports is on the table. The visit also coincides with that of the Turkish President. On the menu: Syria.
No to Hijab! The message is clear. It comes from Iranian activists. It all started with social media. They flood the web with videos of women without veils, and show themselves in the street. The cause of their anger: a new, more restrictive law on the veil which has just been put in place by the Islamic Republic.
In this edition also, a former stronghold of the Islamic State group converted into a filming location. A film crew has settled down in a neighborhood in the suburbs of Damascus in Syria. The production is signed Jackie Chan.
