As a major energy summit kicked off in Tanzania towards the goal of delivering affordable electricity to 300 million more people by 2030, France 24's Yuka Royer speaks with Sarah Malm, Executive Director at Gogla, about the importance of off-grid solar power. But first, the release of Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek has caused a global rout in technology stocks, with US chip designer Nvidia losing about 600 billion dollars in its market cap in a single day.…
 
A photo montage of four Democratic politicians - Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris - has racked up over 150 million views on X, claiming to show them doing what has been likened to a “Nazi salute,” similar to the arm gesture Elon Musk was criticised for at Trump’s inauguration. These images are stripped of their context, all taken as screenshots from wider speeches; with no deliberate gestures. Vedika Bahl debunks clip by clip in this episode of Truth or Fake.…
 
In tonight's edition, the Congolese army fights to hold off M23 forces from the besieged city of Goma as fierce battling kills scores and sends thousands fleeing to safety. Also, the African Union's peace and security council has called an emergency meeting about the crisis. And host nation Morocco will face Comoros in Rabat for the opening match of the men’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.…
 
Some 50 former inmates of the largest of the Nazi death camps at Auschwitz-Birkinau making the trip to Poland for the 80th anniversary. How to process the collective folly of the industrial-scale mass extermination of one million Jews along with 100-thousand others in the space of a few short years? The Holocaust shattered the belief that technology could only be synonymous with progress and on that score, the gas chambers serve as a cautionary tale. How do citizens and nations remember in 2025? From the former Soviets whose forefathers liberated the camps to nations at the other end of the globe untouched by World War Two, what’s the lesson? The words "never again" ring hollow in today's world. An all-too-long list of genocides that have unfolded since. How then to talk about it?…
 
In this edition of our Arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim chats with poet and activist Aja Monet. She started putting pen to paper at just eight years old, thanks to a fascination with storytelling and typewriters. Her poetry has garnered critical acclaim, such as the collection "My Mother was a Freedom Fighter". Her activism has taken her from New York to Palestine. Aja's debut album "When the Poems Do What They Do" is a fluid blend of poetry and jazz. It is also an ode to some of the greats from the Black Arts Movement like Nikki Giovanni and Amiri Baraka. Aja described how she felt like a "spiritual archivist" when putting together the album. She is on tour in Europe with the record and is set to drop a new collection of poetry entitled "Florida Waters" this June.…
 
On January 27, 1945, the French population had yet to grasp the full horror of the Holocaust. After the Soviet army finally liberated Auschwitz and the allies advanced on the Western front, the first survivors began to trickle back to their home countries and the true scale of the tragedy began to emerge. Esther Dzik was one of the survivors who returned to Paris in 1945. She'd been deported in September 1943 at the age of 15 and sent to Auschwitz, where her own sister perished. Now 97 years old, she tells us about the conditions in the camp, her resolve to survive and the struggle to rebuild her life after her whole family was murdered.…
 
Eighty years ago, on January 27, 1945, the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was liberated by Soviet troops. During the following weeks and months, French survivors of the camps made their way home. A third of them passed through the Hotel Lutetia in Paris, a luxury hotel that was requisitioned by the French state to host the former prisoners. Many families went to the Lutetia, desperately hoping to find out if their loved ones had returned. FRANCE 24's Stéphanie Trouillard and Claire Paccalin spoke to survivors of the camps who passed through the hotel, as well as the daughter of a man who perished in Auschwitz-Birkenau.…
 
The son of the man often described as "Britain's Schindler" has spoken of his pride at what his late father achieved. On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, we spoke to the son of Sir Nicholas Winton, who with his small team is credited with saving the lives of 669 mostly Jewish children on the eve of World War II in what was then Czechoslovakia. The incredible story went largely unrecognised for years until a 1980s British television programme, "That's Life", managed to find an entire audience of people whose lives had been saved thanks to Winton, who was surprised to discover that every single other person there owed their lives to him. His incredible story was recently told in the film "One Life". His son Nick Winton spoke to us in Perspective.…
 
DeepSeek not only has a cute whale as its logo, but is fast becoming a whale of a player in the AI game. The Chinese chatbot has leapt to the top of the iPhone App Store downloads leaderboard in the US, overtaking ChatGPT, and in France it's currently sitting in second place. It's free to use and open source, with the Chinese company saying it used cheaper computer chips and less data than its American rival OpenAI.…
 
With public coffers depleted and an ageing population putting pressure on social safety nets, how can Europe mobilise the financial resources necessary to meet its triple goals of a decarbonised economy, effective defence and technological competitiveness? FRANCE 24's Charles Pellegrin puts the question to his panel of guests at the World Economic Forum in Davos.…
 
PRESS REVIEW – Monday, January 27: The papers remember the horrors of Auschwitz, as Monday marks 80 years since the camp's liberation. Meanwhile, there is a worrying survey about the number of young people who have no knowledge of the Holocaust. Elsewhere, Donald Trump is widely criticised for his comments on "cleaning out" Gaza. Finally, Kim Jong Un is doing his best to keep the North Korean youth in line.…
 
As Germany commemorates the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps, FRANCE 24 looks at the slowly-ending hunt for Nazis in the country. After the Nuremberg trials it seemed as if the trail had gone cold on Nazi war criminals. And it was only in 2009 that the hunt for Nazis resumed with the trial of John Demjanjuk. Anne Mailliet, François Rihouay, Willy Mahler and Nick Holdworth report.…
 
Eighty years ago, on January 27, 1945, the extermination and concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Soviets. Of the 69,000 Jews deported from France, only 5 percent survived. During World War II, the Nazis looted 100,000 items of cultural property belonging to Jewish families. After the Liberation, some 60,000 stolen works of art were repatriated to France, and 45,000 were handed back to their owners, or to family members who had survived the Holocaust. But 2,200 are still in French museums, as curators continue to search for their rightful owners. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard report.…
 
In tonight's edition: The UN says its peacekeepers are engaged in '"intense" fighting with M23 rebels on the outskirts of Goma.

Finally, the sperm whale is one of the most social creatures. We take you for a dive off the beautiful coast of Mauritius.…
