Episode 17

Chan eil teagamh gu bheil sgaradh-pòsaidh doirbh dha-rìreabh do chupall, ach a-rèir cuid a dh'aithrisean, tha cùisean do dh’fhireannaich na h-Eadailt fìor dhoirbh nuair a tha iad a’ sgaradh. A dh’aindheoin cho doirbh sa tha e sgaradh-pòsaidh fhaighinn san dùthaich, tha àrdachadh mòr san àireamh a tha a’ cuir a-steach air a shon. Tha breithneachadh nam britheamhan tric a’ ciallachadh gu bheil aig na fireannaich ri suim mhòr de dh'airgead a phàigheadh, gam fàgail bochd.

Ghabh Pàrlamaid na h-Eòrpa roghainn gus stad a chuir air cùnnradh iasgaich eadar an Aonadh Eòrpach agus Morocco. 'S e aon dha na h-adhbharan airson seo se gu robh mòran den iasgaich a’ gabhail àite ann an sgìre chonnspaideach Sahara an Iar.

Ann an bailtean leithid Barbate ann an Andalucía cha deach iasgairean gu muir airson seachdainean, a’ fàgail bith-beò is cosnadh cugallach.

The European Parliament recently decided not to renew an EU fishing agreement with Morocco. One of the reasons for the decision was that much of the fishing was taking place in the disputed area of Western Sahara.

A-mach as an Roinn Eòrpa gu lèir, 's ann anns an Tuirc a tha an àireamh as àirde de dhaoine tras-gnè a th’air am mùrt.

Chaidh lagh co-ionnanachd ùr a’stèidheachadh an uiridh ach tha mòran san dùthaich a’ gearain nach eil dìon laghail ann fhathast do dhaoine gèidh, leasbach, bisexual agus tras-gnè.
