Strikes by air traffic controllers in France are behind a third of Europe’s flight delays, followed by strike activity in Greece, Italy and Germany, over the 2004-2016 period, according to a French senate report published in French daily Le Parisien this week.

More specifically, France’s 4,000 air traffic controllers went on strike on 254 days, costing airlines a total of 300 million euros per year. Greek controllers came in second with 46 days

Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Harry Kane are among the players hoping to be top scorer at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

But for now their main rival is... own goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo's three goals at the World Cup are closest to catching the five own goals scored after 17 games.

South Yorkshire man wins protection order in forced marriage first
Police issue safeguarding order to protect male victim from honour-based abuse

A British man who was promised into marriage at five years old has become the first male in South Yorkshire to be granted a protection order.

The teenage boy and his three younger siblings were all protected from becoming victims of forced marriage. The 19-year-old had received threats for not complying to a pre-arranged marriage, to which his parents had agreed when he was five years old.

It is the first time South Yorkshire police have issued a safeguarding order to protect a male victim from honour-based abuse.

DI Suzanne Jackson said the case was “a huge step forward”.

Mykonos! The island where some bread slices cost 28 euros!

Whathttp://en.protothema.gr/mykonos-the-island-where-bread-costs-28-euros/ excuse does a Mykonos restaurant have for charging €28 for four slices of bread!? That’s right, a Greek couple could not believe their eyes when the waiter brought their bill and they had to pay €48 for a bottle of white wine, which costs half that price in the rest of Greece, €16 for a salad and €14 for a portion of mussels. But the item that made their jaw drop was the €28 for bread. It worked out to €7 per slice!

The customers were not expecting to be surprised in such an unpleasant manner. The price for two bottles of mineral water was equally outrageous, as the couple forked out €16!

They ended up paying a whopping €122 without even eating a main dish! Imagine if they had ordered some type of seafood!
