People who experienced the condition described their health in different ways: 'The state is as if you are spreading over this chair. It feels like this chair has tentacles and legs are being pressed.'

But what caused the disease? Find out in our video. On World Sleep Day, discover more in our documentary, Back to Sleepy Hollow, Kazakhstan (2015).

🇫🇷Paris Rots under Mounds of Rubbish after Strikes Extend.

These’re once well-groomed streets of the famous city and what they have turned into... The French capital’s center is buried under trash: banana skins, pizza boxes, used period products, food packages. The authorities said 7,000 tonnes of waste had to be collected and the number continues to increase.

Rubbish has piled up here since March 6, as municipal teams went on strike to protest over the Macron government’s proposals to raise the pension age. These days the situation has seriously escalated as, despite the people’s discontent, the French leader pushed the bill through. The protests are gaining momentum, and the police has to use tear gas and batons to suppress them. Meanwhile, the people - say they aren't going to give up.

American spent half his life wrongfully imprisoned for murder.

Sheldon Thomas, was only 17 when he was arrested and charged. The young man, accused of the fatal shooting of a teen on Christmas Eve in 2004 in NYC, was sentenced to 25 years to life. A photo of another person with the same name led to his wrongful arrest.

18 years later Sheldon is 35, and is finally declared a free man. ‘I’ve waited a long time for this day to happen,’ confessed Thomas in the courtroom. And his story is just one of hundreds of cases.

Another man, Otis Johnson was accused of a crime he didn't commit, and spent more than 40 years in prison. Listen to him in our video message bellow. Learn even more about the shocking case in Imprisoned: The Man in a Tan Jacket.

▶️A Canadian Pastor, Derek Reimer, was arrested for the second time this month while protesting a drag queen storytime event for kids in a public library. The orders from his previous arrest prohibited him from being within 200 meters of any event involving the LGBTQ community. However, he seemingly couldn’t adhere to the order.

Reimer resisted arrest and was eventually forced into the police car by the cops. You can watch the video of the Pastor's arrest in our post. Do you think he was right to protest or his arrest was justified?

The subjects of our film, Pride and Piety also speak out against excessive LGBT propaganda among the youths. Watch and listen to the arguments they provide in the film.

Could you do that when you’re 93?

Retiree, Boris Grafov goes bungee jumping every year to mark another year of life. He has ten jumps to his credit so far. He started with a jump from 69 meters. This year though, while attached to a rubber rope at Sochi Park in Russia, he stepped out from a jaw-dropping 207 meters.

Boris Grafov first became interested in this extreme sport about seven years ago. His former job, which was associated with high altitudes, had a lot to do with his choice of hobby. Boris’ dream is to break the park’s bungee jumping age record, currently held by an Israeli citizen who, at 95, jumped from 69 meters.

Are you amazed by Boris's bravery?

▶️Exactly 20 years ago, on March 20, 2003, the invasion of Iraq by the U.S. and its allies began. The official goals were to overthrow President Saddam Hussein and to fight international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

Chaos came to the Middle East. The war resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, the exacerbation of the conflict between Sunnis and Shiites, and the emergence of ISIS*.

Iraq has not still recovered from the tragic consequences. Medicine, education, and industry are in decline, and only oil production is prospering, but these natural resources alone are not enough to fill the budget and solve the myriad problems facing the nation. ‘We still see no stability in the state. A growing number of people live below the poverty line,’ says former refugee Mukhalled Hazem.

Discover more in our new film, US Invaders: Iraq 20 years on.
