A protester holds a placard reading 'vegetables not bitumen'. People gather in Toulouse, France, on February 18, 2025, as plaintiffs (LVEL, Attac, Amis de la Terre, D'Ingrando, etc.) against the planned highway A69 between Toulouse and Castres go on 'administrative' trial against the French State along with the builder, NGE, and its concessionary Atosca. The last hearing, in theory, against the environmental authorization to build the A69 highway takes place at the Administrative Court of Toulouse. In December, surprising everyone, the judge decides to reopen the files instead of giving the court decision on the content. Alice Terrasse, the main lawyer for 'La Voie Est Libre' (opponents), pleads, among other things, that the main reason for building this highway, a 'Major Imperative for public interest,' is invalid, as did the 'Rapporteur Public' before. The 'Rapporteur Public' sticks to her position that all environmental authorizations should be nullified, taking down the ''Major Imperative for Public Interest.'' If confirmed, it will stop the building of the A69 highway. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free'), opponents want the building of the highway to be stopped until all the justice decisions on the content are given. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers.

A makeshift memorial with candles stands at the scene. Police shoot and kill a man who flashes a knife at them at an apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, United States, on September 13, 2024. Tensions boil after officers fatally shoot a man inside his East 21st Street apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, on Friday evening. One officer is struck in the head after bottles are hurled at them. Police say they serve a warrant on a suspect wanted for multiple homicides after being tipped off about his whereabouts. Investigators say officers are allowed into the apartment, and that is when they see Vilmond Jean Baptiste, 38, hiding in the bathtub, fully dressed with his knife. ''The members from the warrant squad give numerous commands to the male. They give commands to get out of the tub, to show his hands, and then they realize that he is armed with a knife and then they give him numerous commands to drop the knife,'' says NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey. The sergeant tries to deploy his taser, but the taser does not work. That is when the suspect comes out of the bathroom with a knife and almost attempts to stab the sergeant. Police officials say at least three officers discharge their firearms, striking Baptiste. A makeshift memorial is set up where the fatal shooting takes place as NYPD guards the crime scene with a police presence and crime scene tape.

An excavator operated by NGE/ATOSCA has felled a tree. All work in this zone is prohibited until September 1, 2024. Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, is visiting the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 22, 2024, to see for himself if the allegations of excessive police violence, deprivation of food and water, etc., are true. During his visit, the riot police did not allow any media to accompany him in the ZAD. Even the two Members of Parliament, Karen Erodi and Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, were not permitted entry. Opponents have installed a ZAD called 'Crem'Arbre' on the planned A69 highway between Toulouse and Castres, and 'Ecureuils' ('squirrels') are living in the trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Gendarmes Mobiles (riot police) are intervening to clear the ZAD of all opponents and are now standing guard near the trees occupied by 'Ecureuils' to block the supply of food and water by sympathizers. The Gendarmes Mobiles have cleared the nearby area of all opponents, and a special unit of policemen from CNAMO is intervening to dislodge the 'Ecureuils' from their trees. After two days of police efforts, they have only dislodged one 'Ecureuil'. However, new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new place called 'Cal'Arbre'. The main collective 'La Voie est Libre' (The Way is Free) is demanding that the highway construction be halted until all judicial decisions on the matter are made. The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents of the project argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would destroy more than 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural fields.

A Gendarme Mobile is standing guard in Saix, Tarn, France, on February 22, 2024. Michel Forst, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, is visiting the 'Crem'Arbre' ZAD (Zone To Defend) to see for himself if there are any truths to the allegations of excessive police violence, deprivation of food and water, and other issues. During his visit, the riot police did not allow any media to accompany him into the ZAD, nor were the two Members of Parliament, Karen Erodi and Anne Stambach-Terrenoir, permitted to enter.

The Gendarmes Mobiles have cleared the area of opponents, and a special unit of policemen, CNAMO, has been working to dislodge the 'Ecureuils' from their trees. After two days of police efforts, they have only managed to dislodge one 'Ecureuil'. However, new trees are being occupied by 'Ecureuils' in a new area called 'Cal'Arbre'.

The expropriations for farmers have not been resolved. Opponents argue that reprofiling the N126 would be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles expected per day and would cost significantly less money. The A69 highway is projected to cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros, not accounting for inflation) for 54 kilometers, and its construction would result in the destruction of over 100 protected species and 400 hectares of agricultural land.

A teacher is showing a cardboard sign that reads 'Stanislas, Parcours'Sup: do what I say, not what I do' in Toulouse, France, on February 1, 2024. Teachers, professors, and students are striking and taking to the streets against the new Minister of National Education, Amelie Oudea-Castera, and the lack of resources for public schools. The minister is embroiled in scandals, having placed her children in a private Catholic school where students are segregated by gender. One of her children did not go through the mandatory 'Parcours'Sup' system to gain admission to a school, college, or university but bypassed it. Protesters are calling for her resignation as Amelie Oudea-Castera has also authorized the funding of the private Stanislas school, where her children attend, with public money.
