Should We Be Wary of 5G? The fifth generation of mobile phones is being rolled out worldwide and is expected to arrive in Belgium soon. To some, it represents the fourth technological revolution in history that will revolutionize our way of life. However, others are concerned about the health and environmental consequences. According to the WHO, the European Commission, and the Belgian Minister of Telecom, it poses no danger to society. So why are so many people worried about its impact on our health and the planet?

They are called Hassan, Farid, and Amir. They have been convicted of terrorism. Two of them have been released from prison, and the third will soon be free. Are they deradicalized, or are they time bombs? #Investigation has gathered their compelling testimonies and conducted an investigation into sometimes very surprising deradicalization techniques.

A cancer specialist doctor resigns because he believes he no longer has the means to properly treat his patients. Nurses are too few to care for their patients adequately, putting them at risk. Our hospitals are said to be on the brink of financial collapse. So what should be done? Should the sector be refinanced, given the surge in drug prices? Who will have to pay? At a time when COVID has shown the crucial importance of efficient healthcare, #Investigation offers an uncompromising assessment.

Out of nearly 10,000 coronavirus-related deaths, two-thirds are residents of nursing homes. The elderly care sector has borne a heavy toll during the crisis. Lack of foresight from public authorities, absence of protective gear, delayed testing, and refusal of hospitalization are the main pitfalls. A team from #Investigations retraces the first wave by confronting the viewpoints of various stakeholders. Residents, facility directors, caregivers, families, hospitals, and political leaders speak openly to understand how and why our seniors were abandoned.

#Investigation reopens one of the biggest judicial cases in Belgium. One of our teams decided to explore a surprising lead, neglected by investigators. The results are truly unexpected. Could this finally be the key to solving one of the country's greatest judicial mysteries?

Our team was able to follow the daily life of the Val de Sambre fire station in the province of Namur. Fires, perilous rescues, ambulance missions – we lived with them through their interventions from the inside. We saw the dangers, the risks, but also the dedication of the firefighters in serving the citizens. But above all, we discovered that they are literally killing themselves with their work. Toxic fumes, soot, and the stress of the job are causing them to develop early cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Nuclear power is fascinating. It fascinates because it produces half of all Belgian electricity with relatively few raw materials. Yet, nuclear power also raises concerns. It worries us because these raw materials are among the most dangerous on the planet. In Belgium, there is the equivalent of 5 Olympic swimming pools filled with long-lived radioactive waste. Some of these substances take up to a million years to become harmless. An eternity. For 60 years, we've been told that everything is under control. The burial of these wastes is touted as the only long-term solution, with funding for such an operation expected to be covered by the polluter-pays principle.

For the past 9 months, students have been forced to attend classes remotely. This unprecedented situation has caused suffering and inequalities. Reportedly, 60% of French-speaking students are experiencing partial or complete disengagement. However, in parallel, others have taken advantage of these circumstances. Some students have managed to bypass most of the anti-cheating software implemented by universities and colleges.
