Tuathanasan san Sp脿inn
Anns an Sp脿inn, tha am Ministear airson C霉isean Luchd-cleachdaidh, Alberto Garz贸n, airson 's gum bi e貌las nas fhe脿rr aig daoine air a' bhuaidh a tha aig tuathanasan m貌ra, agus e aig iarraidh gum bi daoine ag ithe nas lugha de dh'fhe貌il. Ach 's i an Sp脿inn aon de na d霉thchannan as measail air fe貌il san t-saoghal, agus dh'adhbhraich na thuirt Mgr Garz贸n bho chionn ghoirid fearg am measg mh貌ran.
Tha cuid de thuathanaich a' faireachdainn gum bi na dreuchdan aca ann an cunnart ma bhios nas lugha de dhaoine aig ithe fe貌il, agus tha cuid de phartaidhean poilitigeach air innse nach eil c貌ir aca聽gnothach a ghabhail sa ch霉is.
Spanish farms
In Spain, the Minister for Consumer Affairs, Alberto Garz贸n, wants the public to recognise the impact of megafarms on the environment, and encourages people to change their eating habits. Spain is one of the biggest meat-eating countries in the world, and the calls to limit meat-consumption has faced a furious backlash, not least from leading politicians.
Many farmers feel their livelihoods could be jeopardised by a reduction in meat eating, with some political parties saying that the state should not have a say in the population's eating habits.
脤re breith san Eadailt
Mar thoradh air a seo, tha Riaghaltas na h-Eadailte air Achd an Teaghlaich a chur an s脿s. 'S e achd 霉r a tha seo a tha a' brosnachadh dhaoine gus clann a bhith aca. Na l霉ib tha creideas coitcheann, atharraichean a thaobh f貌rladh m脿thaireil, faochadh bho ch矛sean agus leasachaidhean a thaobh c霉ram-chloinne. Ach a bheil gu le貌r ann airson p脿tran a thathas air a bhith a' faicinn airson bhliadhnaichean a-nis atharrachadh?
Birth rate in Italy
The decline has resulted in the Italian Government introducing the Family Act. This is a new Act that aims to encourage people to have more children. It includes a universal payment, changes to maternity leave, tax breaks and improvements in childcare. Will it be enough to reverse the pattern of decline that Italy has been experiencing for years?
