the precious Starlink network in Ukraine, food crisis in the United Kingdom and record train in Switzerland

In Ukraine, the Starlink internet network is proving invaluable. Ukrainian soldiers can no longer do without this communication tool, which is decisive for observing the movements of the Russian army on the battlefield. The system belongs to billionaire Elon Musk, who had hinted that he could make it pay, before retracting in the face of the turmoil caused by his statements.

In the UK, more and more Britons are turning to food banks. In one year, inflation has exceeded 10% and eating properly is becoming difficult. “This is my first time here. I said to myself ‘yes, I need help, I need to feed my children and I need this food aid because I am going through a difficult time’“, confides Sidoine, nurse. The situation could still get worse.
Switzerland has just broken the record for the longest passenger train in the world. It measures 1,910 meters, or almost two kilometers. This red train meanders a magnificent route through the Swiss Alps, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
