sorry for being late.
Many thanks for your precise answer.
By the way, I also came across another acronym ABH. Any relation with GBH ?

@FRA-ENG-LEARNER Yes, ABH is "actual bodily harm". The difference is that it is less severe than GBH. Both are commonly called "assault".

Once more thanks for your answer.
I'm almost ready to read law ;-)
I've got another question and I can't find a correct answer.
The French word "ESTOMAC" is an organ inside your body where basically what you eat spends most of its time -)
I tought the English word "STOMACH" meant the same (an organ like your liver or one of your kidney). But, it seems that most of the times "STOMACH" rather means the part of your body between your chest and your legs (i.e your belly).
Which translation is correct ?
and if both are correct what the word STOMACH means most of the time ?
Thank you.

@FRA-ENG-LEARNER Both are correct uses for the word "stomach". Most of the time people say it they mean the abdomen (or "tummy"), unless you are talking to a doctor.

so if you're not talking to a GP, we can assume your STOMACH is your TUMMY.
thank you
Erm, I know the meaning of the verb "TO HAPPEN", but I don't understand the use of the phrase "as it happened".
For example, if we're talking about the latest F1 Grand Prix in Austria, they say :
"F1: Valtteri Bottas wins Austrian Grand Prix – as it happened" (from the GUARDIAN newspaper).
Why do they have to add "as it happened" with an hyphen at the end of the sentence ?
"F1: Valtteri Bottas wins Austrian Grand Prix" can be easily understood.
I don't know why they must add " - as it happened".

@FRA-ENG-LEARNER When it described an article, "as it happened" means that it was written in short updates while the event was still going on. Newspapers do this because people have got used to instant coverage, like on Twitter. After the event finishes, they can leave the page with all the updates on. Often they write a final summary post.
It mostly happens for sports, or sometimes election nights.

ok so if you miss the live event (in this case the race), you can read the article later with the comments that were actually written during the live coverage.
I thought that, once the race was over all this live comments would have simply disappeared and the journalist would have written a proper article.
thanks for this clear explanation.
Speaking of journalism, they often use the word "AMID". is there an English synonym of this word ?
For example, in the sentence :
"Trump arrives in Paris amid troubles in Washington"
I understand that he's coming for our national day which is due tomorrow (I live in France) and that he has some troubles back home in Washington but the word AMID seems strange to me. AMID like IN THE MIDDLE ? I looks like it's a word mostly used in the newspapers or in the news on TV ?

@FRA-ENG-LEARNER it is mostly used in newspapers. Maybe that is because it doesn't take up space in the headline!
Amid can mean "in the middle" or "surrounded", but a more close equivalent to how they use it is "during" or "at the same time".

many thanks for all your answers.
By the way, before I leave, you may know I live in France but I can't guess where you're coming from . I'd say you come from the UK.
May I ask if you live in the UK or in the USA ? of course, you're free not to answer this personal question -)

@FRA-ENG-LEARNER I live in the UK (northern England), but people say I sometimes have a slightly American way of talking.
