Durante años, Japón fue visto como una de las democracias más estables y previsibles de Asia. Sin embargo, el auge de discursos nacionalistas, el endurecimiento del debate migratorio y las crecientes tensiones con China están alimentando una transformación política que gana visibilidad tanto en las calles como en las instituciones. La llegada de Sanae Takaichi al poder refuerza esa tendencia, con propuestas más restrictivas en materia migratoria y una apuesta por fortalecer las capacidades de defensa del país. ¿Estamos ante un giro duradero en la política japonesa? ¿Qué factores explican el avance de las ideas nacionalistas en una sociedad que enfrenta desafíos económicos, demográficos y geopolíticos? Un reportaje de Alexis Bregère y Mélodie Sforza para France 24.

For several months, Japan has been moving in a more nationalist and conservative direction. The shift has been fuelled by economic challenges at home and growing regional tensions with China. The country's new ultra-conservative prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, is expected to accelerate this agenda, with plans to tighten immigration policies and strengthen Japan's defence posture. A report by Adam Hancock, Alexis Bregere and Mélodie Sforza.

Las guerras de Italia fueron el gran conflicto que marcó a Europa en la primera mitad del siglo XVI. Entre 1494 y 1559 Francia y España combatieron sin cuartel por el control de una península que lo tenía todo: riqueza, posición estratégica idónea en el centro del Mediterráneo, prestigio, cultura y al Papa. La Italia de la época era muy próspera y, sobre todo, estaba fragmentada en un mosaico de pequeños principados enfrentados entre sí. Una presa irresistible para las grandes monarquías que se estaban consolidando en Europa occidental. La chispa la encendió Ludovico Sforza, el regente de Milán, que tuvo la brillante idea de invitar a Carlos VIII de Francia a intervenir en los asuntos italianos. Fue como abrir la caja de Pandora. El monarca francés cruzó los Alpes en 1494 con 30.000 hombres y una artillería que pulverizaba las murallas medievales en cuestión de horas. Conquistó Nápoles casi sin oposición, pero no pudo retenerlo. Se formó una coalición en su contra y tuvo que marcharse. El propio Sforza, que había llamado al lobo, terminó devorado por él. Los franceses le derrocaron y murió preso en Francia. A partir de ahí se sucedieron las guerras con una endiablada cadencia. Años más tarde Luis XII se hizo con Milán pero perdió Nápoles frente al Gran Capitán, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, que en batallas como Ceriñola y Garellano demostró que las armas de fuego portátiles como los arcabuces habían cambiado las reglas de la guerra para siempre. El Papa Julio II montó y desmontó alianzas con una facilidad pasmosa: primero contra Venecia, luego contra Francia. Francisco I recuperó Milán en Marignano, pero Carlos V se lo arrebató en Pavía, donde el propio rey francés fue capturado. Se lo llevaron preso a Madrid y le obligaron a firmar un tratado que repudió en cuanto regresó a Francia. La cosa fue a más. En 1527, las tropas imperiales saquearon Roma, un episodio que escandalizó a la cristiandad y que tuvo consecuencias inesperadas. El Papa, sometido a Carlos V, no se atrevió a anular el matrimonio de Enrique VIII con Catalina de Aragón, lo que provocó el cisma anglicano. Francisco I, desesperado, llegó a aliarse con el sultán otomano. Las guerras terminaron con la Paz de Cateau-Cambrésis en 1559. Los reyes de Francia renunciaron a Italia dejando a los de España como amos de la península. Pero estos 65 años de guerras habían transformado mucho más que el mapa de Italia. Aquello fue toda una revolución militar. La caballería medieval fue sustituida por los tercios de arcabuceros y piqueros, la artillería obligó a reinventar las fortificaciones y los ejércitos se profesionalizaron. Esas mismas técnicas viajaron a América, donde los conquistadores españoles emplearon los arcabuces y las tácticas aprendidas en Italia. La plata americana financiaba a su vez las guerras italianas. La monarquía española salió convertida en el árbitro europeo y en esa condición se mantendría durante un siglo. Toda Italia pasó a la órbita española, pero la península había perdido ya su peso específico porque las grandes rutas comerciales se habían desplazado a los océanos.

Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la péninsule coréenne est prise dans l'engrenage de la guerre froide et divisée en deux : au Nord, un régime soutenu par l'Union soviétique, au Sud, un gouvernement nationaliste appuyé par les États-Unis. Sur l'île de Jeju, au sud de la Corée, certains habitants rejettent cette partition. Très vite, Séoul considère l'île comme un bastion communiste et entame une chasse aux sorcières d'une violence inédite. Sur l'île, une répression d'une rare violence fait des dizaines de milliers de victimes. Notre correspondante, Mélodie Sforza, a retrouvé des survivants du massacre.

Japan is one of the few countries that still use the death penalty. The most recent execution took place in June 2025, when a man was hanged for killing nine people back in 2017. Japan and the United States are the only G7 countries to use capital punishment – a measure supported by the vast majority of Japanese citizens. FRANCE 24's Ayana Nishikawa, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report.

Medioevo e Rinascimento sono epoche che hanno da tempo affascinato poeti, scrittori e romanzieri. Sullo sfondo di vicende storiche si è scritto molto e non sempre con felici risultati. A fare la differenza sono però i Romanzi storici che trovano sempre un ottimo posizionamento nelle classifiche delle vendite in libreria. Un'epoca inaugurata, per quanto riguarda autori italofoni, nel 1939 con romanzo d'esordio di Maria Bellonci Lucrezia Borgia e, da allora, ampliatasi accogliendo il frutto del lavoro anche di autori stranieri felicemente tradotti in italiano. Ma per rimanere vicino temporalmente e geograficamente, attenzione la merita la penna e l'impegno di Giancarlo Mele giornalista e scrittore, classe 1954, e autore della fortunata Saga degli Sforza articolata in tre libri dedicati rispettivamente a Francesco, Galeazzo e Ludovico Sforza (nell'immagine) dei quali ci restituisce la verità storica del loro agire, calandoli in contesti nei quali la scarsità di notizie gli ha consentito di spaziare con la sua creatività letteraria. Ne sono nati altrettanti lavori estremamente accattivanti pubblicati da meraviglie edizioni.Della vocazione a Romanziere storico, Giovanni Conti ne parla con Giancarlo Mele.

Milanese culinary history reflects the city's position as a prosperous crossroads in northern Italy, where fertile Po Valley agriculture met centuries of foreign rule, trade, and innovation. Rooted in Lombardy's rich plains, lakes, and alpine foothills, the cuisine emphasizes hearty, comforting ingredients like rice (introduced via ancient trade routes and cultivated extensively since Roman times), butter over olive oil, beef and veal from abundant cattle farming, dairy products, and slow-cooked preparations suited to cooler climates. From Celtic and Roman foundations—where Gauls and Insubrians coexisted with settlers who brought lamb and irrigation techniques—Milanese food evolved through medieval communes, Renaissance courts under the Visconti and Sforza families, and foreign dominations that layered influences: Spanish Habsburg rule from 1535 introduced spices and techniques, Austrian control in the 18th-19th centuries sparked debates over dishes like cotoletta, and broader European exchanges refined aristocratic tastes.Iconic dishes emerged from this blend of peasant practicality and bourgeois elegance. The cotoletta alla milanese—a breaded and fried veal cutlet—has ancient origins, documented as early as 1134 in records from Sant'Ambrogio Basilica listing "lombolos cum panitio" (breaded loins) served to canons. A 19th-century patriotic dispute with Austrians claiming it derived from Wiener schnitzel was settled when Marshal Radetzky, in a letter, confirmed that no such dish existed in Austria, affirming its Milanese primacy. Risotto alla milanese, the golden saffron-infused rice, carries a beloved legend from 1574: during the construction of Milan's Duomo, a Flemish glassmaker's assistant nicknamed "Zafferano" (saffron) for using the spice to tint stained glass was pranked by colleagues who added it to wedding rice as a joke—the vibrant, flavorful result became a sensation. While the tale persists, the first printed recipes appear in the early 1800s, such as in Giovanni Felice Luraschi's 1829 cookbook, solidifying its status as a refined staple often enriched with bone marrow and served as a luxurious side.Ossobuco alla milanese ("bone with a hole"), braised cross-cut veal shanks prized for their marrow, dates to the late 19th century as a winter comfort food from humble kitchens, though marrow-based braises echo medieval traditions. Traditionally paired with risotto alla milanese for a complete piatto unico (one-dish meal), it embodies rustic depth with the bright contrast of gremolata. Other hallmarks include panettone, the dome-shaped Christmas sweet bread with origins in the 15th century (legend ties it to a 15th-century baker's improvisation), cassoeula (a pork and cabbage stew), minestrone alla milanese, and mondeghili (Milanese meatballs repurposing leftovers). Butter, rice over pasta, and long-simmered stews distinguish it from southern Italian olive oil and tomato-driven fare. At the same time, influences from the Austrian (breaded meats), Spanish (saffron via trade), and French (refined techniques) periods elevated it beyond peasant roots.Milan's cuisine balances simplicity and sophistication, shaped by its role as a commercial hub and fashion/finance capital—today's trattorias preserve these traditions amid global influences, making dishes like risotto and ossobuco timeless emblems of Milanese identity.Chef Walter writes the content for this episodeMore PodcastsChef Walters Cooking SchoolProduced by SimVal MediaSubscribe Free to the FK Newsletter

"Around the middle of the fifteenth century, not so long after the first written references in Europe to cards of any kind, an artist named Bonifacio Bembo painted a set of unnamed and unnumbered cards for the Visconti family of Milan", Origins of Tarot, Seventy Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Tarot Journey to Self Awareness by Rachel Pollack Did you know that the roots of tarot have their beginnings in the north of Italy at the height of the Renaissance. The first playing cards emerged in the courts of the noble Milanese families and became a popular card game for entertainment and play.The Visconti Sforza, Bolognese Tarochini and the Minchiate Tarot cards were commissioned by the aristocratic families to be hand painted and designed by expert artisans.  Played as a game called 'carte da trionfe' the tarot was purely a trick playing game in the height of the Renaissance. Today I discuss the Visconti and Sforza alliance in Milan, Cosimo de Medici patronising philosophers to transcribe the Corpus Hermeticum, the time of Renaissance Magic, the shift in art and philosophy, the move toward the mystical traditions and how the tarot eventually evolved into that of cartomancy, esoteric practice via secret societies and occult practitioners in England and France in the 18th and 19th centuries. To now be tethered to the mystery traditions and used as form of divination, fortune telling and spiritual practise. I also share a few personal revelations about the tarot system along the way. And lastly if you are in Italy it turns out there is some serendipity to this episode I discovered while writing my show-notes you can visit the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo (a quick train ride from beautiful Milano) for an exhibition that is on until June 2026, that covers the last seven hundred years of tarot. If only a patron would come calling to me!

Carla Maria Russo"La bastarda degli Sforza"Neri Pozzawww.neripozza.itMilano, 1472. I lunghi capelli morbidi come la seta e biondi come il grano, gli occhi nocciola spruzzati di verde: Caterina Sforza, figlia illegittima del duca di Milano, ha una bellezza fuori dal comune, ma non è questo a renderla unica. Già da piccola si distingue per l'indole ribelle, coraggiosa fino all'imprudenza, fiera. È appassionata di studi scientifici, così come di caccia, strategia militare e combattimento: arti in cui, se non fosse per il corpo esile, supererebbe i fratelli, con i quali le è concesso di crescere alla pari. Una stravaganza per l'epoca ma non per la famiglia, in cui già la madre di suo padre, Bianca Maria Visconti, sposa di Francesco Sforza, era scesa in battaglia a fianco del marito per riprendersi Milano. A nove anni, però, la vita di Caterina cambia per sempre. Suo padre, Galeazzo Maria Sforza, uomo temutissimo per gli eccessi e la sregolatezza, seppur benevolo verso quell'unica figlia così particolare, non esita a sacrificarla alla ragion di Stato, dandola in sposa, insieme alla dote del Ducato di Imola e Forlì, a un uomo vile e crudele il cui unico merito è essere il nipote del papa, fondamentale alleato contro Venezia. Sebbene cresciuta libera, Caterina sa di doversi piegare. Da quel terribile affronto tuttavia nascerà una donna senza paura; dai rivolgimenti della Storia una combattente che si metterà a capo di un esercito, che saprà essere spietata anche con la sua stessa carne, che verrà ricordata col titolo di Leonessa di Romagna.Carla Maria Russo vive e lavora a Milano. Laureata in lettere moderne all'Università degli Studi di Milano, ha insegnato italiano e latino nel triennio del Liceo classico, fino a quando ha deciso di passare dall'insegnamento alla ricerca storica, una delle sue grandi passioni, e poi alla scrittura. Ha pubblicato fino a oggi tredici romanzi. Ha vinto il Premio Cuneo Primo Romanzo e il Premio Feudo di Maida con La sposa normanna, ripubblicata da Neri Pozza nella Biblioteca, pubblicata il Premio Fenice Europa con Lola nascerà a diciott'anni, il Premio Pavoncella e Viadana, con L'acquaiola, presentato anche al Premio, Strega, e il Premio Amalago con I VenturieriDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Pendant plus de cinq siècles, ils n'étaient qu'une hypothèse, un détail mystérieux dans des carnets griffonnés à l'envers. Aujourd'hui, des chercheurs italiens viennent de confirmer leur existence : des tunnels souterrains conçus par Léonard de Vinci ont bien été découverts sous le château des Sforza, à Milan.Le Castello Sforzesco est l'un des symboles les plus imposants de la Renaissance italienne. Construit au XVe siècle par la puissante famille Sforza, il servait à la fois de résidence, de forteresse et de centre de pouvoir militaire. C'est précisément dans ce contexte que Léonard de Vinci arrive à Milan, vers 1482, au service du duc Ludovic le More. L'artiste n'est alors pas seulement peintre : il est aussi ingénieur militaire, architecte et stratège.Dans ses célèbres carnets, Léonard dessine des plans complexes de fortifications, de bastions… et de galeries souterraines. Longtemps, les historiens ont cru qu'il s'agissait de projets théoriques, voire de simples exercices intellectuels. Mais les technologies modernes ont changé la donne.En 2024, une équipe de chercheurs italiens a utilisé des techniques de radar à pénétration de sol, de scans laser et de modélisation 3D pour explorer les fondations du château. Les résultats sont sans appel : plusieurs galeries étroites et voûtées, situées à plusieurs mètres sous terre, correspondent précisément aux schémas de Léonard de Vinci. Certaines relient différentes parties du château, d'autres semblent mener vers l'extérieur des remparts.À quoi servaient ces tunnels ? Les hypothèses convergent vers un usage militaire et stratégique. Ces passages permettaient de déplacer des soldats discrètement, de ravitailler la forteresse en cas de siège, ou encore d'offrir une voie de fuite aux dirigeants. L'une des galeries pourrait même avoir été conçue pour permettre au duc de rejoindre rapidement les troupes stationnées à l'extérieur du château.Ce qui rend cette découverte fascinante, c'est la précision de Léonard de Vinci. Ses dessins, vieux de plus de 500 ans, se révèlent d'une exactitude remarquable, tant dans les proportions que dans l'orientation des structures. Ils confirment que Léonard ne se contentait pas d'imaginer : il concevait des ouvrages destinés à être construits et utilisés.Aujourd'hui encore, une grande partie de ces tunnels reste inaccessible au public, pour des raisons de sécurité et de conservation. Mais leur validation scientifique éclaire d'un jour nouveau le génie de Léonard de Vinci et rappelle que la Renaissance ne s'est pas seulement jouée sur les murs des palais, mais aussi sous terre, dans l'ombre des stratégies et de l'ingénierie.Une preuve de plus que, cinq siècles plus tard, Léonard de Vinci continue de révéler ses secrets.

The Sforza Altarpiece (Pala Sforzesca) is among the single most important works of art commissioned by Ludovico il Moro. Through this painting, we can trace both the heavy religious history of Milan and the dynastic ambitions of the Sforza court. By investigating this painting, we can further understand the atmosphere leading to the decline of Sforza power. Additionally, this painting shows the dramatic influence of the convergence of styles in Milan, from Leonardo da Vinci to the Flemish masters. With this comes the complicated attribution of the work, which until very recently, had remained unknown. Work Discussed: Giovanni Angelo Mirofoli (Master of the Sforza Altarpiece), Madonna Enthroned with Child, the Doctors of the Church and the Family of Ludovico il Moro (Sforza Altarpiece), 1495 https://pinacotecabrera.org/collezioni/collezione-on-line/madonna-in-trono-con-il-bambino-i-dottori-della-chiesa-e-la-famiglia-di-ludovico-il-moro-pala-sforzesca/Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

There is no better way to explore the art and politics of the Sforza court in Milan than through the eyes of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo spent most of his early career employed by Ludovico il Moro, the regent and eventual Duke of Milan. This episode ties together the drama and intrigue of Sforza court politics with the work Leonardo did during his First Milanese Period (1482-1499). Some of Leonardo's most innovative painting arrived in this period. Beyond his Last Supper, the Renaissance master also worked on court portraits. Looking at both Lady with an Ermine and La Belle Ferronniere, we unpack the history of the ladies of the Sforza court and the complex social structures in Leonardo's Milan. Additionally, we explore the sophistication of Leonardo's style and ingenuity, especially as precursors to his Mona Lisa. This conversation ultimately ties the complicated threads that unite art, court culture, politics, gender, and romance in Renaissance Milan. Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastWorks Discussed: Leonardo da Vinci, Genevra de' Benci, ca. 1478 https://www.nga.gov/artworks/50724-ginevra-de-benci-obverseLeonardo da Vinci, Lady with an Ermine, ca. 1490 https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/lady-with-an-ermine-leonardo-da-vinci/HwHUpggDy_HxNQ?hl=en-GBLeonardo da Vinci and workshop, La Belle Ferronniere, ca. 1497 https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl010062372Salai, Head of Christ the Redeemer, 1511 https://ambrosiana.it/opere/testa-di-cristo-redentore/Get additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

Alberto Garin, licenciado en historia del arte y arqueologia recoge en su obra "Renacimiento, el arte que conquisto el mundo" el origen italiano del Renacimiento y tambien la historia y los enfrentamientos de las grandes familias italianas como los Medicci o los Sforza. Las obras y mejoras en el Vaticano, incluido el encargo de pintar la capilla Sixtina a Miguel Angel, terminaron influyendo en la expansion del Renacimiento por buena parte del mundo como simbolo del lenguaje del catolicismo imperante.

Este verano, en Indonesia, la unidad policial paramilitar Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) desató la polémica tras matar a un joven de 21 años durante una protesta. Esta unidad armada de élite, que ya tenía fama de cometer abusos, se ha desplegado a menudo para garantizar la seguridad o reprimir movimientos separatistas en Indonesia, dejando a veces decenas de muertos a su paso. Los reporteros de France 24, Mélodie Sforza y Alexis Bregere se reunieron con algunas de las víctimas de la unidad.

Cet été, en Indonésie, l'unité paramilitaire Brimob a suscité la controverse par sa violence, après avoir tué un jeune homme de 21 ans lors de manifestations. Contestée depuis longtemps, cette section armée est souvent déployée pour assurer la sécurité ou réprimer les insurrections dans le pays, en laissant parfois des dizaines de morts derrière elle. Nos reporters Mélodie Sforza et Alexis Bregere ont rencontré les victimes de cette unité de police réputée pour ses méthodes brutales.

This summer in Indonesia, the Mobile Brigade Corps (Brimob) paramilitary police unit sparked controversy after killing a 21-year-old man during a protest. The elite armed unit, which already had a reputation for misconduct, has often been deployed to ensure security or suppress separatist movements in Indonesia, sometimes leaving dozens dead in its wake. FRANCE 24's reporters Mélodie Sforza and Alexis Bregere met with some of the unit's victims. 

Reviving Japan's countryside is a topic that's close to the heart of Shigeru Ishiba, the country's outgoing prime minister. Ishiba hails from a remote part of Japan and owes his political career to support from rural voters. This year, he doubled subsidies for local governments and appointed 180 "revitalisation officers". But the exodus from rural regions continues. Today, more than half of Japan's land is inhabited by less than 10 percent of the population. Yet generous incentives to encourage people living in cities to return to the countryside are having some success. FRANCE 24's Justin McCurry, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza, Ayana Nishikawa and Constantin Simon report.

Every year in Japan, thousands of fathers fall victim to parental child abduction. It very often follows the same pattern: the Japanese mother leaves suddenly with the child and then forbids the father from seeing them again. These are abductions that fathers – Japanese and foreign alike – are powerless to fight, since Japan is one of the only countries in the world that does not recognise joint custody post-marriage. After a divorce, custody is granted to only one parent. But now, the law is about to change. FRANCE 24's correspondents Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Adam Hancock report.

August 6 will mark 80 years since the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Little Boy, as the bomb was nicknamed, killed 80,000 people instantly. By the end of the year, the death toll had risen to 140,000. What has become of the last survivors? How was the city of Hiroshima able to rebuild itself and transform from a city devastated by nuclear weapons to a centre of peace? FRANCE 24's Mélodie Sforza, Aruna Popuri, Makiko Kobayashi and Justin McCurry report.

On March 11, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by Interpol on a warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and transferred to The Hague in the Netherlands to stand trial. The former Philippine leader is accused of crimes against humanity for his deadly war on drugs. Human rights groups say his policies left tens of thousands of Filipino men dead, many of them from poor backgrounds with no proven connections to drug use. But despite these accusations, many Filipinos continue to support Duterte and denounce a worsening security situation, particularly in the capital Manila. Meanwhile, relatives of victims are demanding justice. FRANCE 24's correspondents Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Jan Camenzind Broomby report.

L'Italia nel '400 fu un mosaico di Stati e corti rinascimentali, con la politica dell'equilibrio che mantenne la stabilità tra le potenze regionali.

It's a price tag that has obsessed US President Donald Trump since his first term: the cost of the military shield the US provides to its allies. Particularly in Trump's sights are South Korea and Japan. Both countries pay around €1 billion per year for American protection on their own soil, a sum deemed insufficient by the US president. Last October, Trump even claimed that South Korea should pay 10 times more. Is the US president serious, or is this another high-stakes bluff? FRANCE 24's Adam Hancock, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Chloé Borgnon report.

Han pasado prácticamente 24 horas desde la muerte de un Papa que para muchos ha cambiado la Iglesia. Francisco murió a los 88 años de un ictus. Se encontraba en plena recuperación de una neumonía. Tras 12 años al frente de la Iglesia, durante los que defendió a los migrantes, apostó por la ecología e incluso se atrevió a criticar el capitalismo, hoy empieza a tejerse su despedida. Un adiós más austero y diferente a los de sus predecesores. Su entierro será fuera de las grutas vaticanas porque su última voluntad fue descasar en la capilla Sforza de la Basílica de Santa María la Mayor. A la espera de saber cuándo se celebrará finalmente el funeral, la segunda incógnita que queda por despejar es la de cuándo se elegirá a su sucesor, es decir, la celebración del cónclave. 

Semiconductors can be found in all our electronic devices: mobile phones, computers and surveillance cameras. Still a minor player in this highly strategic sector, Vietnam is rapidly developing its industry. The government is investing in universities to train more engineers specialised in semiconductors, in the hope of eventually competing with China and Taiwan. FRANCE 24's Adam Hancock, William de Tamaris and Mélodie Sforza report.

Losing a child, on it's own, is more than enough to bear in one lifetime. But imagine losing three brothers before that and witnessing your mother's unimaginable grief while navigating sibling loss. Then, in a 17-month span, watching both of your parents die. And two years later, hearing the news that your only child, at just 22 years of age, was killed in a car accident. Darlene Sforza calls this layered grief. As she searches for her purpose in life, along the way, she is finding hope in sharing her story of survival, and grace, in honoring her son Matthew. Links to episode content:www.griefshare.orgWhat did you think?

Sexual harassment and assault is a big problem on Japan's huge public transport system. One in 10 women aged 16 to 29 say they have been touched inappropriately on trains, according to the government's first survey on the issue. But the actual number is likely to be much higher, as many women fear the consequences of reporting incidents to police. About 800 people are arrested for groping – known as "chikan" – in Tokyo every year. But many perpetrators get away with their crimes. In response, the police have launched an app to help them deal with the problem. FRANCE 24's Airi Futakuchi, Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report.

On January 23, Thailand officially authorised marriage for all – a historic decision that made the country the first in Southeast Asia to legalise same-sex unions. Within hours of the law's enactment, hundreds of couples said “yes” to tie the knot. Today, the kingdom is known as a safe haven for LGBTQ communities across the region where other countries such as Myanmar or Malaysia still consider same-sex relationships a crime. But despite homosexual couples' newly acquired right to marry, not everything is rosy in the "Land of Smiles". William de Tamaris, Mélodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report.

Japan is one of the fastest-ageing societies in the world, with almost a third of its population over 65 years old. As a result, the county is seeing more and more cases of dementia each year: almost 5 million people are now living with the condition. In response, the government is taking the problem seriously and has formed a special committee in a bid to tackle the crisis. Our correspondents Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Justin McCurry report from Tokyo.
