Friday, May 20, the “Weekly Photo” section sums up the week in world news with shots from Zimbabwe, Vietnam or even Lebanon and Iraq, from a Milky Way to a sandstorm.
An orange dust from the desert. In Iraq, the eighth sandstorm. In a month. Mask on the face, a man crosses the Euphrates. Thousands of people are hospitalized. The air is unbreathable. Unbreathable also in Lebanon, where economic and political crises follow one another. A carefree moment in a district of Beirut, where young people have built a swimming pool in the middle of the street.
In Vietnam, a traditional sport is to keep a wooden ball in the mud at all costs. She weighs 20 kg. Hairball in a park in Seine-et-Marne. The jaguar Emma gave birth to two babies, a very rare birth. After several seizures, Zimbabwe has more than 100,000 tonnes of poached elephant tusks. The country would like to sell them for nearly 600 million euros. Finally, in the sky of Slovenia, a picture is emerging with the Milky Way.
