Dengue fever resurfaces in the Caribbean. With the start of the hurricane season in Martinique, 160 cases have been identified over the past two weeks in the territory. So, prevention agents go to meet the inhabitants to remind them of the good things to do. This is the cover of the weekly Overseas July 21, 2023 broadcast on France 24.
The agents of the ARS (regional health agency) track down breeding sites among the inhabitants and more specifically the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. This domestic mosquito, vector of chikungunya, zika and dengue, likes the human race. Dengue has been gaining ground for a few weeks in Martinique. The ARS is sounding the alarm. There is still time to avoid an epidemic. A report by Irène Emonide and William Zébina from Martinique la 1ère.
The weekly edition, devoted to news and the discovery of French overseas territories, is presented this Friday by Antoine Defives.

Recycling: they give a second life to plastics. They decided to give plastic a second life. In New Caledonia, a mother and her daughter recycle mixed waste. Their company has even become a reference in the Pacific. A report by Mirna Kilama and Cédric Michaut from NC la 1ère.
Culture: Basque songs resonate at the tip of the guns. Head to the North Atlantic, to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon! The inhabitants of this archipelago descend, for some, from Basque fishermen.
