“Hi it’s Leo, what does it say?”

This Wednesday, October 11, is International Girls’ Rights Day. On this occasion, a barometer from the Elementary Rules association reveals that periods are a factor of stress and mockery for 80% of young girls who are reaching puberty at an increasingly younger age. 20% of them menstruate by primary school. They lack information and solutions to manage their periods during school.

In Israel, the latest report shows more than 3,000 deaths on both sides, including 1,200 on the Israeli side. Most are civilians who were victims of terrorist acts in several villages. Testimonies are multiplying about women and children killed in their homes and the hostages are the subject of a battle of numbers. The Israeli army has officially identified and confirmed 50 hostages and missing while Hamas claims to have taken 130 hostages.

And then on the occasion of Spotify’s 15th anniversary, we discovered that rappers Jul, Ninho and Damso are the French’s favorite artists, while English pop-rock was in the lead in 2008. To put everyone in agreement , I introduce you to EMPRS in this episode, which has just released its first album.
