Tha cr矛onadh an eaconomaidh air ruith cho domhainn ann an cuid de sg矛rean iomallach na Sp脿inn 's gu bheil iad air tionndadh do roinn annasach airson brosnachadh. Tha riaghaltas na Sp脿inn a' sireadh tagraidhean airson st貌r sgudail ni霉clasach. Aig 脿m nuair a tha leasachadh gann is misneachd 矛osal tha c脿il a chruthaicheas obair is ionmhas a' coimhead tarraingeach. Ach tha cuid de thuathanaich anns na sg矛rean seo iomagaineach mu chli霉 a bh矛dh aca ma th猫id st貌r ni霉clasach a st猫idheachadh faisg orra.


Nuclear waste in Spain

The economic crisis has hit Spain hard, particularly the rural areas. Now some areas are seeking investment from an unusual source. The Spanish government is inviting bids for the location of a nuclear storage facility. At a time when confidence is low and there is little economic development, rural areas welcome any way of creating jobs and income, but some farmers in these areas worry about the image of their produce if a nuclear storage facility is located close to them.

Tha a' mhuir far Bharraigh is Miughalaidh ga moladh airson sg矛re gl猫idhteachais sh貌nraichte 贰貌谤辫补ch, no SAC, a st猫idheachadh. Tha Dualchas N脿dair na h-Alba, SNH - a' bhuidheann a tha a' d猫anamh na molaidhean - ag r脿dh gu bheil an sg矛re cudromach mar 脿rainn r貌in agus air sg脿th na bruaichean gainmhich is sgeirean s貌nraichte a tha fon mhuir. Ged-tha, tha m貌ran de mhuinntir na sg矛re fh猫in gu m貌r an aghaidh SAC, is eagal orra gum biodh droch bhuaidh aige air na tha e ceadaichte dhaibh a dh猫anamh a thaobh iasgach, croitearachd, is eile.

Special Area of Conservation

The sea off Barra and Mingulay is recommended as a possible site for a European designated Special Area of Conservation, or SAC. Scottish Natural Heritage, the group making the recommendation, say that the area is of key significance as a seal habitat and has rare undersea reef and sandbank formations. However, many of the people of Barra are against the establishment of an SAC, and fear that it could adversely affect what they are able to do in terms of fishing and crofting. Darren Laing visited Barra to examine the situation.

Tha C矛opras air a bhith sgaraichte bho 1974. 脌s d猫idh bliadhnaichean do dh'ain-fhois, dh'fheuch na C矛opraich Ghreugach ri smachd fhaighinn air an eilean ann an coup, le taic bhon riaghaltas armailteach san 脌ithne aig an 脿m, ach chaidh arm na Tuirc a steach do cheann-a-tuath an eilein 's tha iad air a bhith ann bhon uair sin.

Tha d貌chas 脿s 霉r ann a-nist gun t猫id fuasgladh fhaighinn air a' ch霉is 's ceannardan bhon a' cheann a tuath 's ceann a deas air coinneachadh grunn thursan ann an oidhirp aonta a' ruighinn agus caidreachas a' st猫idheachadh. Ach le m貌ran chnapan-starra mun coinneamh, a bheil iad c脿il nas fhaisge air aonta a ruighinn?



Cyprus reunification

Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when, after years of unrest, Greek Cypriots tried to gain control of the island in a coup. They were backed by the military junta in power at the time in Athens, but Turkey sent its army to the northern part of the island, and they have remained there since.

There is now fresh hope that the situation can be resolved, with leaders from the north and south having met many times recently in an effort to reach an agreement and establish a federation. However, with many obstacles in their way, are they any closer to a solution?
