Homes, Behind the Walls Elder abuse in nursing homes is a reality. It's not necessarily physical, but rather emotional. Most of the time, the staff is understaffed, workers are expected to be highly productive, and they often don't have the time to care for residents as they should. Their work usually ends with providing basic care rather than focusing on the well-being of the elderly. Making money at the expense of residents is also a reality, especially in commercial private nursing homes.

Vaccines, the Race Against Death Arriving in our country at the end of December, as Belgium approached 20,000 Covid-19-related deaths, the first vaccine reignited hope. Others will follow after a real frantic race engaged for several months against the virus. How were these vaccines manufactured? What guarantees do they provide? Will they be effective against the multiple mutations of the virus? From clinical studies to the oversight of drug agencies, you will discover, especially exclusively, the behind-the-scenes in America regarding the launch of the vaccination in the world's first power.

Who Benefits from Bankruptcy? Bankruptcy can affect everyone and every sector, especially in this Covid-19 period where thousands of businesses risk closing their doors. While bankruptcy is often a human tragedy, some benefit financially, sometimes making a lot of money. With bankruptcies, it's also billions of euros that do not enter the state's coffers.

Hunting, the Weight of the Rifle According to a study, three out of four Francophones declare themselves opposed to hunting. The practice, a hobby for 25,000 people in Belgium nonetheless, has a very bad reputation. For many, it is seen only as cruelty. But is this justified? Do hunters effectively combine their "regulatory" work with their hobby, or do they resort to illegal acts to achieve the best hunting results? It is between these two questions that #Investigation wanted to delve into and try to truly understand hunting, a world that, sometimes through its intense lobbying, feeds fantasies and rumors.

Telecommuting: Stop or Continue? Telecommuting, which was slowly becoming more prevalent, was suddenly thrust upon thousands of employees and companies. Many were not prepared at all, and now everywhere you hear, "We won't go back"... Is this true?

Covid-19: The mental health wave All first-line care requests have increased by 20%, more than a third of adolescents suffer from anxiety, and in some psychiatric emergency services, admissions have sometimes doubled since the beginning of the crisis. Loneliness, remote work, and grief have left their mark... And apparently, authorities underestimate the repercussions of this profound malaise...

Service vouchers: Out of breath Investigation followed the unsung heroes. Those who work in the Service Vouchers system. The system was created by law 20 years ago. It was to combat undeclared work. Today, more than 140,000 home helpers make life easier for 800,000 households. It's a real success. Yet, the system is out of breath, and so are the home helpers.

Drivers from the East, road slaves? They are truck drivers from Romania, Bulgaria, or Lithuania, working for the largest transport companies in Belgium, and are paid at the salary level of their home country, which does not exceed 500 euros per month. The rest of their remuneration comes in the form of allowances, on which these large companies pay hardly any employer contributions.

In the kitchens of meal delivery With the lockdown, many Belgians discovered the delivery of restaurant meals at home. In Belgium, the UberEats and Deliveroo platforms are present in about twenty cities. They dominate the market, but at what cost? Let's hear from the delivery drivers! Economic dependence, lack of social coverage, work by undocumented migrants and minors, road accidents, and the perverse effects of the economic model are all issues to be explored.

Palace of Justice, perpetual forced labor: The Brussels Palace of Justice, a colossal edifice whose state of degradation is becoming worrisome. For 37 years now, the masterpiece of architect Joseph Poelart has been imprisoned in a maze of scaffolding. But restoration work has never really begun. Over time, several courts and tribunals have had to leave this suffering palace to find refuge nearby, in buildings rented at a high price.

Inclusive school: from dream to reality: Belgian children placed in special education are victims of segregation. This is essentially the summary of the judgment handed down by the European Committee of Social Rights, condemning Belgium for the non-inclusion in traditional education of children with mental disabilities (autism, Down syndrome).

The deluge no one believed in... For a few hours in mid-July, the Vesdre river carried, from the Eupen dam to Liège, water quantities 80 times higher than usual for summer. The violence of the flood killed several people and caused widespread destruction. It also overturned overnight everything we thought we knew about flood risks. Three months after the event, #Investigation has chosen to revisit the causes of the catastrophe discussed in the immediate aftermath, when everyone was in shock. Was the alert given or was the danger ignored? Were the emergency services up to the task? What could the Eupen dam have prevented? Because to better defend ourselves next time, we must not misdiagnose the situation, #Investigation has reinvestigated the matter...

Patients without prescriptions? It's an alarming statistic that continues to rise: in 2020, nearly 2500 medications experienced shortages in France, six times more than four years ago! One in four French people has been denied their pills due to shortages. Antibiotics, antihypertensives, cancer treatments, or Parkinson's disease treatments: all are common medications, essential for patients' daily lives. In case of interruption, they can seriously endanger their health.
