Andrew Mackinnon reports on the separation of church and state in France.

Tha Anndra MacFhionghain anns an Fhraing a’ rannsachadh a’ cheangail eadar creideamh agus an stàit ann an dùthaich stèidhichte air sgaradh eadar an dà chuid. An deidh ionnsaighean ceannairc ann an 2015 thainig lagh ùr a-steach a’ daingneachadh an sgaradh sin, ach tha mòran Mhuslamaich san dùthaich a’ faireachdainn gu bheil e ag adhbhrachadh tuilleadh sgaradh eadar iad fhèin agus an còrr dhen dùthaich.

Tha earran dhorcha de eachdraidh na Spàinn air nochdadh bho chionn beagan bhliadhnaichean le bhith toirt am follais sgainneal mu leanaibhean air ùr bhreith a chaidh an toirt air falbh bho’m màthraichean airson a thoirt gu teaghlaichean a bha bàidheil ri deachdaireachd an t-Seanalair Franco. Tha Dòmhnall Angaidh Moireasdan ag aithris air iomairt nan daoine a chaidh a ‘ghoid’ nan leanaibhean an fhìrinn fhaighinn a-mach mu na teaghlaichean aca.

Andrew Mackinnon reports on the separation of church and state in France, a principle on which the country was founded. In response to the terror attacks of 2015, the government introduced a law further enforcing the separation. However, many in the country’s large Muslim community feel it unfairly targets them.

A dark episode in Spain’s past has been slowly emerging in recent years with the scandal of babies being taken from their birth mothers and given to families sympathetic to General Franco’s dictatorship. Donald Morrison reports on how this is now being addressed and the efforts made by so-called ‘stolen babies’ to find out the truth about what happened to them.
