Sex, stairs and the Metro: How the Parisians really stay in shape
01 Oct 2023  |  time.news
Residents of Paris maintain their fitness through everyday activities such as taking the stairs, running for the Metro, walking instead of using public transport, and cycling with the popular Vélib bike-sharing scheme. The city's compact size and numerous parks also encourage walking, jogging, and other outdoor activities. Parisians also engage in social activities like dancing at house parties and eating in moderation. The article highlights the integration of exercise into daily routines and the availability of fresh produce at local markets as key factors in the Parisian approach to staying in shape.
UK doubles down after new 'Stop the Boats' migrant crackdown announced
08 Mar 2023  |  www.euronews.com
UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has announced a new Illegal Migration Bill aimed at stopping migrant boats crossing the Channel, amidst criticism comparing the language used to that of 1930s Germany. The United Nations' Refugee Agency and Amnesty International have expressed profound concern and believe there is a conflict with international laws protecting asylum seekers. The French government has not officially reacted to the bill, which comes ahead of a Franco-British summit. Legal experts like Alexander Heeps criticize the UK's disregard for domestic and international obligations. Public opinion in the UK has become more positive towards immigration, but there is a desire to address irregular crossings. The government insists the legislation complies with international obligations.

World English Language Day: Do you speak 'Euro English'?
23 Apr 2020  |  www.euronews.com
With the UK's departure from the EU, English remains a significant language within the bloc, evolving into a form known as 'Euro English.' This variant, characterized by direct translations and technocratic jargon, is widely used in EU institutions. Despite Brexit, English continues to be the most taught and useful language in Europe, serving as a neutral means of communication. Experts debate whether Euro English is a distinct dialect or a flexible lingua franca. The future of English in the EU appears secure, with its role likely to persist and evolve.
Holocaust Remembrance Day: how are Europe's children taught about the Holocaust?
27 Jan 2020  |  euronews.com
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, concerns arise about the fading memory of the Holocaust. Surveys reveal a lack of awareness among Europeans, with varying degrees of knowledge and misinformation. Holocaust education is mandated in most European countries, with different approaches and contexts. Some countries grapple with their roles during the Nazi regime, while others emphasize their positive actions. The rise of right-wing parties in Europe influences the narrative and teaching of the Holocaust. Social media, particularly the Auschwitz Memorial Twitter account, plays a role in education. The article underscores the importance of Holocaust education in combating contemporary anti-Semitism, racism, and intolerance.
How did Edinburgh become the 'Aids capital of Europe' in the 1980s?
01 Dec 2019  |  www.euronews.com
In the early 1980s, Edinburgh became known as the 'Aids capital of Europe' due to a combination of Tory austerity, rising drug abuse, and pioneering research by Dr. Roy Robertson. The Conservative government's cutbacks led to increased drug use and needle sharing, resulting in a high rate of HIV infection. Dr. Robertson's research revealed that 60% of drug users tested positive for HIV, making Edinburgh the first city to identify the problem. The stigma surrounding HIV and drug users exacerbated the issue. Today, interventions like PrEP and condom promotion have significantly reduced new HIV diagnoses, but Scotland now faces the highest number of drug deaths in Europe, drawing parallels to the political climate of the 1980s.
Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, how unified is Germany?
09 Nov 2019  |  www.euronews.com
Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Germany remains divided in many ways. Economic disparities persist, with wages and economic output in the former East Germany lagging behind the West. Political divisions are evident, particularly with the rise of the far-right AfD in eastern states. Personal stories from individuals who lived through reunification highlight ongoing social and cultural divides. While some see progress and benefits from reunification, others feel like second-class citizens. The article suggests that true unity may require more time and a shift in attitudes, particularly among younger generations.
Explainer: Paedophile Marc Dutroux and the horror case that united a divided Belgium
27 Oct 2019  |  www.euronews.com
In Belgium, public outrage has resurfaced over the potential early release of Marc Dutroux, a convicted paedophile and child killer. Dutroux, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2004 for the abduction, rape, and murder of several young girls, has requested a new psychiatric report that could lead to his release in 2021. The case, which united Belgium in horror, exposed significant flaws in the justice system and led to widespread protests. Dutroux's crimes, including the kidnapping and abuse of multiple victims, have left a lasting impact on the nation, with many still questioning the investigation's handling and the possibility of a wider paedophile ring. The article details the crimes, the public's reaction, and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Dutroux and his accomplices.

Watch: Iranian women attend first football match in 40 years
11 Oct 2019  |  www.euronews.com
Thousands of Iranian women attended a football match for the first time in nearly 40 years, following a long campaign and pressure from FIFA. The event, held at Tehran's Azadi Stadium, saw women separated from male spectators and guarded by female police officers. The move comes after the tragic death of Sahar Khodayari, who set herself on fire after being detained for trying to enter a stadium disguised as a man. The change has been met with mixed reactions, with some celebrating the progress and others criticizing the continued segregation and restrictions.
