Spain’s population dilemma: Country grapples with vanishing towns

Update Date：

AlJazeeraEnglish

According to government statistics, half of Spain’s municipalities are at risk of losing their population. These are primarily towns of fewer than 1000 people. But the data shows this issue is no longer confined to just rural areas. People are also moving out of provincial capitals and small to medium-sized cities. To reverse the trend, this year, the European Union gave Spain more than $11bn for a “repopulation program”. The goal is to provide small towns with more basic services, high-speed internet, and funding for housing and job creation.

The North Crimea Canal in southern Ukraine used to supply the majority of the peninsula’s water needs. Ukraine built dams on the canal after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, saying it would only allow water to flow when Russia ends its occupation. Russia has been transporting water in, but rationing has reportedly become worse with the arrival of tens of thousands of additional Russian troops. The area has now become a potential flashpoint between Kyiv and Moscow.

At the height of the Cold War, the United States had around 50 military bases in Greenland. Many were left to decay and rust, polluting the fragile environment. One named Camp Century was even built under the ice before being abandoned. But as the ice melts there are fears that toxins and radioactive coolants – which were meant to stay buried forever – could soon be exposed.

AlJazeeraEnglish

Tens of thousands of people in several European countries, including Greece, France and Italy, have protested against anti-COVID measures. In Athens, Greek police tried to break up protests against compulsory COVID-19 vaccinations; some protesters threw petrol bombs and the police responded with tear gas. The mood was the same in Paris where tear gas filled the air as protesters opposed to a government virus pass faced off against riot police. The EU says 200 million Europeans have now been fully vaccinated – more than half of all adults – but that falls short of the 70-percent target set for the summer.

The oceans have been a powerful ally in combating global warming, absorbing nearly 93 percent of the carbon dioxide released by human actions since 1970. But a mix of higher temperatures and pollutants has created “dead zones” – oxygen-depleted areas measuring tens of thousands of square kilometres, where plants or animals can’t survive. Al Jazeera’s Paul Rhys reports from Sweden on the Baltic Sea, where scientists have measured the largest dead zone in the world. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ #OceanDeadZone #ClimateChange #Globalwarming
