    It looks like it will be very, very close in the referendum in Moldova on writing the aspiration for EU membership into the constitution.

    With 97.7 percent of the votes counted, the yes side had 49.9 percent against 50.1 percent for the no side. Only a few thousand votes separated.

    As more of the votes from the capital region of Chisinau, which is counted among the last, were registered, the difference shrank from several percent to a few tenths of a percentage point.

    On election night, Moldovan President Maia Sandu commented on the No leadership as a result of the country’s democracy and freedom being “under attack on an unprecedented scale”.

    According to her, Russian influence operations have been going on for several months.

    The power grid in Cuba has been disconnected again, during the work to restore it after Friday’s total breakdown. Many of the eleven million inhabitants of the island have been without electricity for several days. Now Hurricane Oscar is moving in over land and could worsen the problems.

    “A few minutes ago, the power grid was disconnected again,” Cuba’s energy ministry announced on X at 5 p.m. local time on Sunday.

    The authorities had then only succeeded in getting part of the network up and running after Friday’s breakdown.

    Power has been cut in parts of the city as a result of the attacks.

  • Moldova: Leaning towards no EU rapprochement

    It appears to be leaning towards a no in the referendum in Moldova on writing the aspiration for EU membership into the constitution. If so, it is a major setback for President Maia Sandu.

    Opinion polls ahead of Sunday’s referendum, and presidential election, pointed towards a yes to the EU path. But when just over 90 percent of the votes were counted, the no side led with 53.5 percent against 46.4 for a yes, according to the central election commission’s website.

    As well as the White House, the EU Parliament and Moldovan authorities have pointed out that Moscow is trying to influence the election and steer the country away from the EU and the West.

    Hundreds of people turned out in protest on a popular beach in Tenerife on Sunday, reports say Daily Mail.

    Vacationers had to huddle in their towels while the locals showed their displeasure with mass tourism.

    Many held up placards with messages such as “The Canary Islands are not for sale”, while others beat drums and blew whistles.

    Demonstrations were also held elsewhere in the Canary Islands on Sunday. It comes after a summer where there have been scores of protests in the Spanish holiday resorts.

    Many people think that the long-term tourists in particular take too much of the resources and push up accommodation prices.

  • A seriously injured person after a single vehicle accident

    It was a car that ran into a tree at 10 p.m.

  • Hugging limits are introduced at the airport

    Do you want to say a fond farewell at Dunedin Airport in New Zealand?

    Then it is important to plan.

    Recently, the airport put up a sign stating that you can hug for a maximum of three minutes in the drop-off zone, writes CNN.

    “For a more tender farewell, use the parking lot,” reads the sign.

    There you can say goodbye for a whole quarter of an hour – for free and as lovingly as you want.

    The hug limit has sparked debate. But the airport’s CEO Daniel De Bono tells the radio channel RNZ that research has shown that it is enough to hug for 20 seconds to secrete the “love hormone” oxytocin – and that the rapid turnover of customers means that more people have time to embrace each other.
