The episode begins with host Martin Buxant greeting Mayor Richard Fournaux of Dinant and immediately asking about his health after a heart attack and triple bypass surgery the previous year. Fournaux says he is doing well, though sometimes tired, and asserts he never lost his 'punch' in managing the city. The main topic is an aggressive hawk (buse) in Dinant that has attacked and injured 25 people. Fournaux clarifies that the hawk was initially captured with city help, using a fauconner from Bouillon castle and support from the Walloon Public Service's Nature and Forest division. He describes its subsequent release as a 'commando operation' involving broken locks, with an ongoing police investigation. The host asks about capture techniques, and Fournaux mentions a non-injurious net system, noting the hawk's intelligence and increased wariness after capture. He emphasizes the seriousness of the situation, citing a young girl's head injury that changed public perception from humor to concern. Fournaux criticizes amateur trappers trying to capture the hawk themselves, warning against unauthorized initiatives in populated areas. The host questions if the mayor's slow response undermines municipal authority, but Fournaux defends his efforts. The conversation then turns to socio-economic issues: rising energy prices, with Fournaux noting the Walloon government's lack of funds and the need to avoid burdening future generations. He mentions tourists still visiting Dinant by train despite high diesel prices. Politically, Fournaux, a member of the MR party with a historical PC background, discusses voter shifts to the Engagés, attributing it partly to MR president Georges-Louis Bouchez's polarizing style, though he continues to support Bouchez for being straightforward. Finally, the host questions Bouchez's trip to China, and Fournaux justifies it by quoting Charles de Gaulle on the importance of engaging with China. The episode ends with light banter about staying on air.
