Separate weather systems brought torrential rainfall to Sri Lanka and large parts of Indonesia’s Sumatra, southern Thailand and northern Malaysia

• How cyclones and monsoon rains combined to devastate parts of Asia – visual guide

Sri Lanka and Indonesia have deployed military personnel to help victims of devastating flooding that has killed nearly 1,000 people across four countries in Asia in recent days.

Separate weather systems brought torrential, extended rainfall to the entire island of Sri Lanka and large parts of Indonesia’s Sumatra, southern Thailand and northern Malaysia last week.

La carte Vitale dématérialisée cartonne ! Disponible pour les utilisateurs de France Identité depuis plusieurs mois, elle est accessible à tous depuis la mi-novembre. Elle compte désormais un total de 2,1 millions d’utilisateurs selon BFM TV, et a gagné 300 000 utilisateurs supplémentaires en une semaine.

Pour rappel, l’app est disponible sur l’App Store. L’inscription est simple : il suffit d’entrer son numéro de sécurité sociale, de valider son mail puis d’envoyer plusieurs photos d’un document officiel (CNI nouvelle ou ancienne, passeport, titre de séjour…). Il faut alors prendre une vidéo de son visage pour confirmer son identité. Le dossier devrait ensuite mettre 48 h à être validé.

Si cette dernière étape prend un peu plus de temps chez vous, c’est normal. L’Assurance Maladie a précisé à BFM TV que « la forte demande d'activations actuelle entraîne un rallongement des délais de traitement pouvant doubler par rapport à la durée habituelle ». L’organisme assure qu’il n'est pas nécessaire de recommencer la démarche d'activation pour ceux trouvant l’attente trop longue. « Elle est prise en compte et sera traitée », ajoute-t-il.

L’app sert principalement à afficher un QR code à présenter aux professionnels de santé. Elle regroupe aussi les dernières dépenses de soins réalisées via l’application. Rappelons cependant que les professionnels de santé ne sont pas encore tous équipés pour lire le QR code en question : il sera donc plus prudent de garder sa carte physique dans son porte-monnaie quelque temps afin de s’assurer que son médecin ou son pharmacien dispose du matériel nécessaire.

La nouveauté est loin d’être disponible partout. Selon l’Assurance Maladie, deux tiers des pharmacies acceptaient ce mode d'utilisation, et seulement un quart des médecins. En Île-de-France (absente du lancement initial), seule une pharmacie sur deux est équipée pour un praticien sur huit.

Ukraine will top agenda, but meeting comes as positive sentiment towards Germany in Poland hits near record lows

When the Polish and German governments meet on Monday for annual political talks in Berlin – the first since Friedrich Merz became chancellor – the headlines are likely to be dominated by Ukraine.

Amid growing US pressure for a peace deal with Russia, Warsaw and Berlin will want to send a signal of support for Kyiv and of unity between central Europe’s largest – and militarily strongest – countries.

Country seen as champion of equal rights faces reckoning after senior politician says she felt compelled to quit

Increasing hate, threats and harassment against female politicians are scaring women away from public life and forcing them to censor themselves, the Swedish government’s equality agency has said, warning that this poses a “big threat to democracy.”

Women’s safety in politics has come under heightened scrutiny in the Scandinavian country since October, when Anna-Karin Hatt resigned as leader of the Centre party after only five months in office, citing hate and threats.

The Irish politician was targeted in 2022, in the final weeks of her run for office. She has never found out who made the malicious deepfake, but knew immediately she had to try to stop this happening to other women

When Cara Hunter, the Irish politician, looks back on the moment she found out she had been deepfaked, she says it is “like watching a horror movie”. The setting is her grandmother’s rural home in the west of Tyrone on her 90th birthday, April 2022. “Everyone was there,” she says. “I was sitting with all my closest family members and family friends when I got a notification through Facebook Messenger.” It was from a stranger. “Is that you in the video … the one going round on WhatsApp?” he asked.

Hunter made videos all the time, especially then, less than three weeks before elections for the Northern Ireland assembly. She was defending her East Londonderry seat, campaigning, canvassing, debating. Yet, as a woman, this message from a man she didn’t know was enough to put her on alert. “I replied that I wasn’t sure which video he was talking about,” Hunter says. “So he asked, did I want to see it?” Then he sent it over.
