DW's Inside Europe has an article about the use of robots in vineyards (and other crops) to treat vines with UV radiation to help control fungal disease (via the phytoalexin response). Treatment is at night, so doesn't interfere with other operations. Best case use of robots in vineyards!

Why did 15 migrants die in Greece — again?

What happened off the Greek island of Chios, the war crime trial of former Kosovo president Hashim Thaci, and new Danish conscription rules. Then: the downfall of France's Jack Lang, Norway's ambitious agritech sector, Slovakia's embattled LGBTQ+ community, an inclusive swimming club in Madrid, and why British pubs are struggling — even after Dry January is over. + https://shorturl.at/pTbvF +

Exposure to pollution causes 10% of all cancer cases in Europe

Exposure to air pollution, second-hand smoke, radon, ultraviolet radiation, asbestos, certain chemicals and other pollutants causes over 10% of all cancer cases in Europe, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today. The good news is that these risks are preventable.
