YhteistyössÀ Havannassa oli norjan-iirishin rap-ryhmÀ Nicap. Cuba on vanhempi paikko, hyvin vÀhÀinen luotettavuus ja suuri ympÀristö. Islanti tarvitsee enemmÀn nuoria, jotta on lapsia. Mutta Maurenin lapsi, Juin Days, ja ehkÀ myös Indira's baby girl, Juin Two Months, on syntynyt krippilöydÀn kohdalla. TÀmÀ on kuitenkin suurimmat pÀivÀt ison historiasta.
I asked her if this was a gamble for Meta.
6 miljoonaa ihmisiÀ, kun se tulee kansainvÀliseen tasolle. HÀn on yksityiskohtainen yksityiskohtainen Ukraina, russia-kriittinen. Ja tietenkin ihmisoikeuksia, joita hÀn on hyvin raskasta. Ja hÀn on kutsunut vahvemmin Eurooppaan. Mutta tÀÀllÀ Denmarkissa on todella paljon keskustelua niiden asioiden kanssa. Ja hÀn on paljon vahvempi kotona. Joten muuten kuin geopolitiikkaa, se on itse asiassa omistajien asioita, jotka ovat vahvistamassa tÀÀllÀ kampanjaa.
Se on elÀmÀnkustannukset, perusreformit ja vaikka pikkuproduktiota ja poliittisia ruokavuotoja, jotka ovat kaikki olleet keskustelussa. Ja siltÀ, ettÀ hÀn on ollut sentristi-yhdistelmÀssÀ, joka on kÀsitellyt keskustelua, ja hÀn on aloittanut itseÀnsÀ oikealla puolella ja sentristiparttiin,
All three of them are down in the polls. They cannot get a majority. So what's happened is Fredriksson has pivoted left again. And she's appealing to voters on the left with a controversial wealth tax. She's also pledging strict immigration controls to sort of fend off a resurgent right wing. And she's really hoping that her strong leadership and her appeal now to left wing voters will help change.
Get over what is really a voter fatigue. She's been in power for six years. And though her party is the biggest and tops opinion polls, they only have 20%. So she really needs to work together with a lot of other smaller parties if she's to win this election.
Adrian Murray in Copenhagen. And finally, a BBC Eye investigation has uncovered the workings of a global criminal trade in baby eels. The endangered species is one of the most trafficked animals in the world. Export bans for commercial use have fuelled the underground trade, which is worth billions of dollars. Sam Pirinti reports.
In a high-end restaurant in Paris, Duke, which is not his real name, tucks into a plate of eels. Within the EU, there is a legal market for eels, but Duke isn't interested in that. I'm in the smuggling business in Europe and Asia, focusing on European glass eels. If you see me in the street, you wouldn't think I'm a gangster. It's black and white.
Duke on voinut BBC World ServiceÀ seuraamaan hÀnen liiketoimintansa, niin kauan kuin hÀn jatkuu anonyymisena. Se kertoo, ettÀ yli 100 tonneja eeliÀ on poistettu Euroopasta. Voisin sanoa, ettÀ se on hyvin konservatiivinen numero. Me kutsumme hÀnen elÀmÀÀnsÀ kokain, kokain maan. HÀn kutsuu hengityksen osallistujia Hongkongissa, jotta huomioidaan, ettÀ he ovat valmiita uudestaan ilmaisesta liiketoimintaa Euroopasta. Hei, Duke!
He says they're ready. The Asian eel, which used to stock Chinese farms, is also scarce. So demand for European eels exploded. There are no legal routes, so the underground trade is flourishing. So here we talk about one of the biggest wildlife crimes in the world in terms of animals trafficked as well as fraud value.
Koulutus Florian Stein suosittelee jÀrjestöjÀ ilmastonmuutoksesta. ElvÀt ovat pakkaneet suhtaukset ja tarkistaneet, ettÀ heillÀ on kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ kestÀvÀÀ
He explains what they do after they collect the suitcases from the airport. The big ships are waiting with the facilities to keep the eels alive. They transport them to China. We use speed boats or other small boats.
There are thousands of eel farms in China. Once fattened, processed and killed, they could end up anywhere in the world. Gang members told the BBC, though smuggling eels is as lucrative as cocaine, the penalties if you are caught are far lighter.
