WHEN USING THIS FOOTAGE, " Hergé / Moulinsart - 2021" MUST APPEAR FOR 2 SECONDS ON THE SCREEN, AT THE REQUEST OF THE HERGÉ MUSEUM.Brussels (Belgium), Jan 8 (EFE) .- (Camera: Leo Rodríguez) The grumpy Captain Haddock, the drunken sailor in a blue sweater and with a good heart from Hergé's cartoons, is celebrating 80 years since he met Tintin, the intrepid journalist with whom he became inseparable travel companions in January 1941.FOOTAGE OF THE HERGE MUSEUM.SOUNDBITES OF DOMINIQUE MARICQ, WRITER.Translation: "Tintin is an ideal creature while Haddock is flesh and blood. He has flaws, humour and his famous swear words that are not real. Hergé's genius created swear words and insults with fancy words and turned them into swear words. He is a very human character who appreciates his friend Tintin more and more. He is a character who accompanies his friend everywhere, defends him and helps him. He is the most realistic character. "Translation 2: "The gift of a comic book author is when some words, objects or characters, come out of the book and remain "among us", converted into references that are used in newspapers, on television, in blogs... It is proof that these characters have transcended time and are current. Even though 80 years have passed, Haddock hasn't got a single wrinkle."

French President Emmanuel Macron is paying tribute to the heroism of members of the World War II Resistance based at a remote Alpine plateau who were attacked by the Nazi army and French collaborationist forces. Members of the resistance used the Vercors Plateau as a refuge after the occupation of France from 1940, receiving airdrops from the Allies and even occasional visits by British agents with the top-secret Special Operations Executive (SOE) unit. With 2024 marking 80 years since the penultimate year of World War II, Macron is making a series of high-profile commemorations to remember resistance heroes but also to note the role played by native French collaborationist militia (milice) in the German occupation.

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg urges the United States to stick with Europe as the military alliance turned 75 on Thursday under the shadow of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the spectre of Donald Trump's possible return to power in the US. "I don't believe in America alone, just as I don't believe in Europe alone. I believe in America and Europe together in NATO because we are stronger and safer together," Stoltenberg says at a ceremony at NATO headquarters in Brussels. SOUNDBITE
Around 80 new tractors arrive at a protest held by Italian farmers on the outskirts of Rome to pressure the government to improve their working conditions. Italy is one of a number of countries across Europe where farmers have staged weeks of demonstrations to demand lower fuel taxes, better prices for their products and an easing of EU environmental regulations that they say makes it more difficult to compete with cheaper foreign produce.
