Danielle naît à Colmar le 26 avril 1937. Sa mère, suisse, est originaire de Bâle où elle est née en 1910 ; Son père lui, alsacien, voit le jour en 1899. Négociant en bonneterie en gros, il dirige une affaire prospère. Danielle est fille unique.En 1940, lorsque l'Allemagne annexe l'Alsace, la famille doit tout abandonner. Le commerce, les biens, la maison. Ils fuient immédiatement, laissant derrière eux une vie entière. Direction Vichy, alors capitale de la France dite libre.Mais très vite, la mère de Danielle tient à se rapprocher de la frontière suisse, pour rester proche de sa propre mère et de la famille maternelle. Danielle n'a que trois ans lorsque la famille déménage à Évian, où un ami leur prête une maison. De novembre 1942 à septembre 1943, la Haute-Savoie, et donc Évian;, est occupée par l'armée italienne. Les autorités italiennes se montrent moins répressives que les autorités allemandes, notamment envers les Juifs. Les premiers mois se déroulent ainsi sans trop d'encombres, ce qui convainc le père de rester en France, alors même que les oncles et tantes de Danielle choisissent de repartir en Suisse, ou pour certains, de partir aux États-Unis.Mais en septembre 1943, tout bascule : l'Allemagne prend le contrôle de la région.Commence alors une période de grand danger pour les Juifs, marquée par les rafles, les arrestations, les déportations. La surveillance se resserre. En 1944, la mère de Danielle prend une décision vitale : trouver un passeur pour tenter de rejoindre la frontière suisse. Mais les choses tournent mal. Alors qu'elles fuient, Danielle et sa maman sont arrêtées par la WEHRMACHTVoici le témoignage de Danielle, 7 ans, enfant de la Shoah.NE PERDONS PAS L'HISTOIRE, PARTAGEONS-LA…-------.

10 Kilometres on Ice: Dr. Hussain Khansaheb's Antarctica Climate Mission

On this weeks podcast, I speak with Ironwoman and world record holder, Bonnie Hancock. Bonnie spent 254 days, travelled 12,700 kilometres, battled sea sickness, sharks, crocodiles, and the ocean. Bonnie broke numerous records on her fastest ever circumnavigation by paddle around Australia, but that wasn't the achievement she is most proud of. Testing the limits of her mental and physical toughness, she learned what it means to overcome adversity and how important teamwork and perspective truly are. What looks distressing from the rocky shore or storm-tossed waves can be inspiring when you look to the heavens. Bonnie is the author of "The Girl Who Touched the Stars", which is a love story, a travelogue, and an exhilarating exploration of human ambition coming face-to-face with the beauty and power of nature. But most of all, it's a lesson in overcoming self- doubt, trusting others and finding your true self. Bonnie demonstrates vividly and honestly the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of reaching for the stars. Bonnie talks about growing up as a young surf lifesaver and competing in the Ironwoman series with her older sister Courtney, and what it takes to compete at the elite level. This is a raw and honest, powerful chat about pushing your body to the limit and discovering who you. Bonnie set a target to raise $100,000 for the charity Gotcha4Life. Bonnie achieved that goal as she paddled into the finish line on the Gold Coast after paddling for 254 days and 12,700 Kilometres. Presenter: Adam Blum Guest: Bonnie Hancock Editor: Kyle Watkins

When the entire Red Army marched 10,000 kilometres and sparked the formation of modern China as we know it.

The Maginot Line was a marvel of 1930s engineering. The huge forts, up to eighty meters underground, contained hospitals, modern kitchens, telephone exchanges, and even electric trains. Kilometres of underground galleries led to casements hidden in the terrain, and turrets that rose from the ground to fire upon the enemy. The fortifications were invulnerable to the heaviest artillery and to chemical warfare. Despite this extensive preparation, France fell to Germany in a little under six weeks. Eight decades on, the Maginot Line is still remembered as an expensively misguided response to obvious danger. In The Maginot Line: A New History (Yale University Press, 2025), Dr. Kevin Passmore presents a groundbreaking account reevaluating the Maginot Line. He traces the controversies surrounding construction, the lives of the men who manned the forts, the impact on German-speaking inhabitants of the frontier, and the fight against espionage from within. Far from a backward step, the Maginot Line was an ambitious project of modernisation—one that was let down by strategic error and growing dissatisfaction with fortification. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Ever wanted to walk all the way around PEI? The people you'll meet today have all tackled the 700km Island Walk - and all have personal reasons for this calorie-burning pilgrimage. Producer Laura Meader breaks a (tiny) sweat as she catches up with a few of them in her documentary, 700 Kilometres. This story first aired on Atlantic Voice in December 2023.

Cleanup efforts are continuing across Clare following Storm Éowyn. Last night over 30,000 homes, farms and businesses remained without power for a second day following one of the most severe weather events the county has seen. At the height of the storm, Shannon Airport recorded gusts of 137 Kilometres an hour, while over 44,000 premises in Clare were left without electricity. At lunchtime yesterday as the weather alert expired this number reduced to 37,000 and as of this morning power has been restored to 14,000 premises. ESB crews were out again at first light this morning with the assistance of helicopter crews to identify major damages and outages. ESB Technical Manager, Michael Sammin, says additional crews have been deployed to help restore power to priority areas of the network, which will aid in wider restoration efforts which will continue through the weekend.

As political tensions escalated across Europe in the years leading up to the First World War, the major powers engaged in an aerial arms race to develop their airships into war-winning weapons. Britain, Italy, France and Germany watched each other's progress with fear and alarm. Britain struggled to keep up with its continental rivals. Italy was the only country to deploy airships in combat pre-WW1. France built a large fleet but didn't know what to do with it. Germany, of course, dominated the skies but experienced several devastating crashes that claimed the lives of many of their valuable experienced airshipmen. By the time war erupted in the summer of 1914, airshipmen around the world faced an uncertain future. What role would these lighter-than-air giants play in the conflicts to come? Join us as we explore the story of how airships prepared for war - an era marked by ambition, innovation and no small measure of calamity.

If disturbance kills those taller plants, replacements regrow from the ground and add to the fuel. Prescribed burns are a fire mitigation tool used with the aim of reducing fuel load to minimise the intensity and severity of fires.  However, while prescribed burns can sometimes decrease flammability in the short term, the way they disrupt forest ecosystems can create longer periods of additional flammability.  “Very frequent burning close to homes or control lines could create defendable spaces, but large, remote and infrequent burns maintain the landscape at maximum fire risk because they undermine the natural controls that forests place on fire," Associate Professor Zylstra said. The remote areas that burn have often been extensively logged eg Eden NSWRECENT MESSAGE FROM BOB BROWN FOUNDATION JULY1STAn end to native forest logging should have happened more than a decade ago but this list is another killing plan to feed export woodchippers, Malaysian timber company Ta Ann, and Victorian sawmills that have no social licence,” Jenny Weber, Bob Brown Foundation's Campaigns Manager said.“Kilometres of new wilderness-destroying roads will be slashed into ancient forests that have never seen a chainsaw, including taxpayer-funded roads into untouched Takayna rainforests and 6km into the Wentworth Hills near Lake St Clair. Clearfell operations in areas essential to the critically- endangered migratory Swift Parrot have been drafted despite the threat that poses to the species,” said Erik Hayward, Bob Brown Foundation Campaigner. “Lines on maps have been drawn that carve up some of the most remarkable natural landscapes this globe has to offer. For the defence of our natural world we will remain committed and defiant in the face of this complete abandon,” said Erik Hayward.“Over the last six weeks, hundreds of Australians joined the largest protest against native forest logging in Tasmania in the last decade, in Takayna. Prime Minister Albanese needs to immediately put an end to such native forest logging in Australia, which is requested by more than 75% of Labor's voters,” said Jenny Weber. Don't look away from methane :  An investigation by ACF and the global non-profit Clean Air Task Force last year detected methane escaping from more than 100 sources at 35 industrial sites in Queensland and NSW.  “When it comes to rapidly reducing Australia's most potent climate heating pollution, cutting methane emissions from the coal and gas industry is low hanging fruit.”Methane emissions are believed to account for about 30% of the global temperature rise(link is external) since the industrial revolution.  David Rovics' new album of songs was composed between October and December 2023He says "  I wrote them to bear witness to the genocide of the Palestinian people that continues by the hour as I publish this album."Hear the drones above your headWhat were the last words that she saidBefore she joined the thousands deadAs the bombs rain down

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 29th of April, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Book of Revelation 5:11-12: “Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain…” What a day it will be when you and I meet the Lord Jesus Christ, face to face, in Heaven! It's going to be amazing, folks, I tell you what. You know, I can only just….I haven't even got a glimpse of it but I want to relate something to you. On this little farm, Shalom, I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, approximately 450 thousand men worshipping and praising the Lord and saying, “Amen”, like a gunshot going off. You know that Greytown, the little town next to our farm, is approximately 15 Kilometres from this farm - they could hear us in Greytown! But I want to say to you, that was only maybe close on half a million men. What is it going to sound like when thousands, ten thousand times ten thousands are worshipping the Son of God and worshipping Him and thanking Him, the One who died for your sins and for my sins?Maybe as you are listening to this message you are driving in your motorcar or maybe you are sitting in your home by yourself, and maybe you are feeling a bit down and a bit hard-done-by. I want to encourage you to start worshipping the Lord. Start singing to Jesus, start praising His name and you will be surprised how that heaviness will lift up off you and you will have freedom. Just thank Him. “Thank Him for what?” you say. Thank Him that you are alive, thank Him that you have got a future, thank Him for dying for you, thank Him for the soon-coming time when we will meet together in Heaven, all of us and our loved ones, and we will praise the Lord together with one voice. What a day that will be! I can't wait. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma debate who should be India's wicketkeeper for the Men's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and America. India have potentially seven options who could take the gloves. Rishabh Pant is the frontrunner after having a stellar season so far in the Indian Premier League for the Delhi Capitals, but he has not played for India since being involved in a car accident in December 2022, where he injured his knee. Other names to consider are KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Dinesh Karthik.   Plus, we speak to Adelaide Oval Head Curator Damian Hough who has been tasked with creating the pitches that will be used in America at the World Cup including the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan. He shares his experiences of starting the process in Adelaide and details the plans transporting the pitches 2,000 kilometres from Florida to New York.And after Freddie Flintoff's sons are hitting the headlines in England for their cricketing skills, we look at cricketing families around the world and look at the pressure that brings.
