Saturday February 18, “Photo Hebdo” looks back on a week of news in a few shots around the world. In summary, the smile of a child in Syria, Christ the Redeemer in the colors of Turkey or even plans of coca burnt by the Mexican army.

Light is a longed-for hope in a village in northwestern Syria, hit by the violent earthquake that has already killed more than 30,000 people. And yet, in the photo, we can see a child continuing to smile. On the heights of Rio (Brazil), Christ the Redeemer is veiled in the colors of Turkey in tribute to the tens of thousands of victims. The world is turned upside down. The earth is shaking, but it is also burning in Mexico. Coke plans are destroyed by the army in the war against the drug cartels. Production is more and more intensive, the cocaine market is exploding in the world.
