euronews futuris - EU project looks to make the roads safer

When it comes to making driving safer, much has been done over the past decades but there is still much work to do. The European Union is currently backing a scheme to analyse drivers' habits in order to reduce the number of road accidents. Aria Etemad is the project coordinator. Talking about the developments in the industry, he told us: "In the last 50, 60 years, there has been a lot of work for car safety.

euronews futuris - Farming Bluefin Tuna

Bluefin Tuna is disappearing from the sea. Demand keeps prices high - which means people will keep fishing Bluefin Tuna until there is none left. Obviously this is an unsustainable situation.
