EXPERTS ALAIN BAUER Professeur de criminologie – CNAM LAURENT VALDIGUIÉ Journaliste - « Marianne » NATHALIE SAINT-CRICQ Éditorialiste politique - « France Télévisions » JÉRÔME FOURQUET Directeur département Opinion - Institut de sondages IFOP « La République pleure l'un des siens », a déclaré ce mardi le ministre des Comptes publics, se disant « révolté » par le meurtre la veille d'un agent lors d'un contrôle fiscal. « Il est révoltant qu'un serviteur de l'État, de la République, des Français puisse être (...) tué parce qu'il fait son travail », a déclaré Gabriel Attal, après s'être entretenu avec les collègues de la victime à Arras, annonçant qu'un hommage lui sera rendu mercredi dans l'ensemble des services fiscaux. Le fonctionnaire de 43 ans a été tué lundi après avoir été séquestré avec une collègue dans le cadre d'un contrôle fiscal chez un brocanteur de Bullecourt dans le Pas-de-Calais, qui s'est ensuite donné la mort. « Cet homme faisait simplement son travail (...) Aujourd'hui, il n'est pas revenu. Il a été tué dans le cadre de ce contrôle fiscal (…) Sa collègue, qui l'accompagnait et qui a été agressée, est heureusement en vie mais elle reste profondément choquée », avait affirmé hier soir le ministre lors d'une séance au Sénat. Le meurtre de cet agent de l'Etat survient au moment où une enquête de l'observatoire de la démocratie de proximité AMF-Cevipof/Sciences po menée auprès des maires évoque leurs inquiétudes face à la montée des tensions avec leurs administrés et entre les citoyens eux-mêmes. « Ce drame innommable » selon les mots du ministre, s'est produit également dans un pays déjà profondément choqué par l'enlèvement et le meurtre ces derniers jours d'une adolescente de 14 ans à Tonneins dans Lot-et-Garonne. Faits divers dramatiques, agressions d'élus, incivilités, injures, menaces… Le pays semble à cran en ces temps de crise. Des violences verbales ou physiques qui ont touché l'année dernière particulièrement les femmes selon le Service statistique ministériel de la sécurité intérieure (SSMSI). Ce service vient de publier un panorama inédit des violences en France métropolitaine, mesurées à partir de l'enquête Genese qu'il a conduite en 2021. Coups, bousculades, étranglements, viols… « Les femmes cumulent une plus grande diversité de situations violentes, rapportent plus fréquemment les types de violences potentiellement les plus graves et subissent des faits sur des durées et à des fréquences plus élevées que les hommes », pointe l'enquête. Parallèlement, élus et citoyens s'inquiètent de voir les trafics de stupéfiants, du cannabis aux produits de synthèse, s'étendre dans des villes moyennes jusque-là épargnées mais aussi dans des petites communes et des zones rurales. Malgré la multiplication des opérations de police, la lutte contre des réseaux bien organisés reste difficile. Alors assiste-t-on à une montée de la violence dans la société ? Qui en sont les principales victimes ? Comment lutter contre le trafic de drogues ? Et que se passe-t-il à Mayotte ?

In 1917 as part of the Battle of Arras, Australian troops were ordered to take a section of the Hindenburg Line near the village of Bullecourt. With no supporting artillery, relying on the support of the un-tried tanks, the troops of the 2nd Division advanced into heavy enemy fire and uncut wire. Their attack failed. Two weeks later, another attempt was made and although Bullecourt was captured, the Australians suffered heavy losses. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

For the survivors of the fierce fighting which characterised the Battles of Bullecourt, the sheer waste of approximately 10,000 lives as a result of questionable leadership from those in command, the trauma of what they experience haunted them for the remainder of their lives. The false belief in an early victory and the failure of the new technology of tanks were a fatal combination. The heavy toll in casualties severely depleted the AIF to such an extent that it did not fully recover for the remainder of the war. In 1917, a year that has been described by historians as a year of disasters, these Battles are remembered for the lives lost for so little gain.

Well its been a bit of a slog putting this together but I think you will find that that it will be worth it, share this with any Canadian friends you know, as I think they will love it. Fingers crossed.The Battle of Vimy Ridge was part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The main combatants were the four divisions of the Canadian Corps in the First Army, against three divisions of the German 6th Army. The battle took place from 9 to 12 April 1917 at the beginning of the Battle of Arras, the first attack of the Nivelle Offensive, which was intended to attract German reserves from the French, before their attempt at a decisive offensive on the Aisne and the Chemin des Dames ridge further south.The Canadian Corps was to capture the German-held high ground of Vimy Ridge, an escarpment on the northern flank of the Arras front. This would protect the First Army and the Third Army farther south from German enfilade fire. Supported by a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge during the first day of the attack. The village of Thélus fell during the second day, as did the crest of the ridge, once the Canadian Corps overran a salient against considerable German resistance. The final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the village of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, fell to the Canadians on 12 April. The 6th Army then retreated to the Oppy–Méricourt line.

On today’s episode, Annie reviews seven WW1 memorial sites in France where we remember soldiers from English-speaking countries. Soldiers from many countries fought and died in France during WW1. We remember them today on the occasion of the WW1 Armistice Centennial taking place in France on November 11, 2018. Show Notes for Episode 211 WW1 Memorials Sites in France France was deeply scared by WW1 and it's impossible to understand France without a basic understanding of what happened during WW1. Visiting WW1 memorial sites in France is one of the best ways to realize the deep cuts the war brought about. It will also make it possible to bring history to life for you and your children. “World War I was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that has ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied, So the writers either wrote propaganda, shut up, or fought.” Ernest Hemingway Off the Beaten Track in North-Eastern France It must be said that the part of France where WW1 memorial sites stand is not generally considered the most "touristy" part of the country. Some people visit France dozens of times and never make it there. That doesn't mean that they are not worthwhile, especially to those who enjoy off the beaten track parts of France and history, of course. Seven WW1 Memorial Sites in France Dedicated to English-Speaking Soldiers #1 Pozières In today's episode, we start with the memorial in Pozières between Arras and Amiens. It is mostly a British cemetery and one of the most popular WW1 memorials in the area. #2 Viller-Brettonneux Then we move on Viller-Brettonneux where you'll find the Australian National Memorial. #3 Fromelles The only Australian-only war cemetery in France. #4 Bullecourt When in Bullecourt you can visit 3 sites: Musée Jean & Denise Letaille Bullecourt Digger Slouch Hat Memorial # 5 American WW1 Memorials in France There aren't as many WW1 memorials in France because America didn't send as many troops as other countries. # 6 Somme American Cemetery This cemetery is in Bony and is part of the battle of the Somme. #7 Montfaucon American Monument This monument is located near Verdun, not in the same area at all as the other ones mentioned here.

This episode covers much of 1917 including The 2nd Battle of Bullecourt and "Passchendaele" or the 3rd Ypres offensive. Len as usual provides great insight into the life of a digger on the western front. His description of signalling during the Battles of Polygon Wood and Broodseinde Ridge are awesome. You'll never forget the "s"es beers! This episode covers Len's Chapter 8 of his memoirs and is quite long, but that is how he wrote it. Here is some of it: "In charge of a sergeant, off we went, quite a mob, for Division was also sending up a wireless set. We were loaded with scopes and lamps and we were shelled all the way. Heavy stuff. We missed a lot of congestion going across country, but the ground! It was quite spongy, for underneath were mules, horses, Fritzes and Tommies of 1914 vintage on. And the stench rising from cracked, drying ground was pretty awful. Many of the division chaps, new to this smell, were not looking too good and one chap was promptly very sick over some brand new accumulators he carried. We had some narrow escapes, for we just had to plod on heavily laden. Anyway, he was ‘sweeping’ all over the place. Looking across to that dreadful Menin Road, I saw mules, men and ammo go up with a roar. Noise everywhere and up aloft scores of planes: Fritz planes, very aggressive. In fact, he seemed definitely to be ‘on top’, new Fokkers, etc. The dog fights fascinated us but on we went."
