Plans to build a space port on the Moine Peninsula in Sutherland have proven to be controversial. For some it’s an opportunity to revive dwindling communities but others fear potential environmental consequences. With the project currently at a standstill due to a request for a judicial review, Annabel Maclennan investigates.
Some say Germany has dealt with Covid-19 in a better way than many other countries – including the UK. The number of deaths is far lower. A higher than European average expenditure on health and the highest number of ICU beds in Europe could be among the reasons. Butsome warn that it is too early to draw comparisons of this kind before the pandemic is over. Andreas Wolff reports from Berlin.
