脌s d猫idh an tubaist gn矛omhachais a thachair san Ungaire na bu tr脿ithe sa bhliadhna chaidh faireachdainnean l脿idir a dh霉sgadh ann am Bulg脿iria. Bha seo air sg脿th 's gun do thachair leithid a thubaist an sin, anns na tr矛-ficheadan. A r猫ir cuid a dh'aithrisean, chaidh suas ri c貌ig cheud neach a mharbhadh nuair a bhrist balla-cloiche a bha a' cumail air ais spr霉illeach a bh' air fh脿gail 脿s d猫idh obair m猫innearachd ann am baile Zgorigrad. Ach th貌isich e cuideachd deasbad ann am Bulg脿iria mu mar a tha iad a' d猫iligeadh ri seann m猫innean na d霉thcha, agus draghan gu faodadh lethid a rud tachairt a-rithist.

After the industrial accident in Hungary earlier in the year strong memories were aroused in Bulgaria. This was due to the fact that a similar accident happened there in the sixties. According to some reports up to five hundred people were killed when the dam holding back the waste from mining works collapsed in the town of Zgorigrad. But it also began a debate in Bulgaria about how they are dealing with old mines in the country, with concerns being raised about the possibility that the same thing could happen again.

Chaidh RET a ghairm mar sgeama p矛leatach airson a dh猫anamh nas fhasa is nas saoire do dhaoine a' bhith siubhal air ais is air adhart bho eileanan gu t矛r m貌r - beatha nas fhasa gu bhith aig sluagh nan eilean le pr矛sean aiseig na bu choltaiche ri bhith siubhal air an rathad fh猫in. Is am bliadhna chaidh an sgeama a leudachadh gu bhith ruith bliadhna nas fhaide na bha d霉il, gu 2012, airson sgr霉dadh a dh猫anamh air a' bhuaidh. Tha m貌ran air na h-Eileanan an Iar den bheachd gu bheil e air buannachd a thoirt dhaibh-san, ach leis a' chuid is motha de na h-Eileanan a-Staigh 脿s aonais RET, tha casaidean air nochdadh gu bheil an sgeama ag amas air bh貌taichean fhaighinn anns na h-Eileanan an Iar. Tha an riaghaltas ag r脿dh ged-t脿 gur ann aig na h-Eileanan an Iar a tha na feumalachdan as motha airson RET. Tha Darren Linc ag aithris 脿 脤le is Uibhist.

RET was announced as a pilot scheme which aimed to make it easier and cheaper for people to travel on and off Scotland's islands to the mainland - an easier life for islanders with ferry prices akin to the cost of travelling by road. This year the scheme was extended to run for a year longer than expected, to 2012, to allow analysis of its effects. Many in the Western Isles believe it has been a benefit for them, but with most of the Inner Hebrides excluded from RET, there have been accusations that the scheme is a way of winning votes in the Western Isles. The government says, however, that the Western Isles have the greatest need of the RET scheme. Darren Laing reports from Islay and Uist.
