By 1050 0

The continent of Europe is set to bring in some stringent measures to contain the spread of a coronavirus, Covid-19.

It is preparing to advise all its member countries to introduce stricter travel restrictions. In line with the EU’s advice, almost all European Union countries are likely to curb all unwanted traffics in their borders.

A senior EU leader opines that the less people travel the lower is the chance for the spread of the disease.

Earlier, the WHO identified the continent as the new epicentre of the virus outbreak – which originated in the Asian country of China.

Apart from the travel restriction, the continent is expected to bring in several other tough measures. It is likely to do everything to prevent any unnecessary social gathering.

The continent knows very well that if it adheres to its new measures strictly it can prevent the spread of the disease effectively.

In Europe, Italy, Spain, France and Germany are the worst affected countries. Even the United Kingdom is not safe in this matter.

Several European leaders like French President Emanuel Macron have strongly welcomed the measures suggested by the powerful administrative authority of the European Union, European Commission.

French fraudsters impersonated minister get serious punishment

By 1155 0

Two French fraudsters, who have impersonated a not-well-known minister who handles some important portfolios in the ministry, have been awarded certain tough punishments by a French court based in Paris.

The jailed fraudsters are two Franco-Israelis, named Gilbert Chikli and Anthony Lasarevitsch. The former has been awarded a sentence of 11 years imprisonment and the latter has been granted a sentence of seven years imprisonment. The court has also fined both heavily. Mr. Chikli has been charged a fine of 2 million Euro while Mr. Lasarevitsch has been given a fine of 1 million Euro.

Both denied the case during the trial. They claimed that the case was a part of a huge scam.

Nonetheless, the prosecution proved the claim made by the accused persons wrong easily, as the culprits failed to present any evidence to justify their argument.

It was proved that the culprits used a silicon mask to impersonate the minister. It was also proved that they coned several wealthy men with their action.

It is assumed that it is the lack of popularity of the ministry which helped the culprits to execute their con act without much difficulty.

It is the first such crime that has been reported in the country in the recent history.

Europe experiences warm winter

By 1021 0

Europe has experienced a warm winter this year. The average temperature of this year’s winters has been at least 1.4 C above than the previous year.

Definitely, the increase in the temperature in the continent of Europe is the after-effect of climate change.

Not only this continent, but also the entire world suffers due to climate change at this juncture.

It is high time to formulate an effective universal strategy to counter the issue of climate change.

The Paris Climate treaty was a good beginning. Unfortunately, that does not work in the right direction at this moment. The departure of the US from the climate treaty obligation left the organisation less powerful.

What Europe experiences at this moment is a remainder. The world can no longer remain insensitive about climate change.

It is inhuman to put the burden of our mistake to our successors. It is our duty to keep earth inhabitable for the future generation.

The more love we have in our future generation, the more careful we becomes in the matter of climate change, as the actual victim of this issue is the future generation not the present.
