Olive oil industry under increasing threat from 'olive leprosy'
Italian, Spanish and Greek farmers set to lose billions unless drastic action is taken to combat bacterium that has killed millions of trees

One of southern Europe’s most important staples, olive oil, is under pressure from a potentially deadly disease that new research shows could infect nearly all of the productive areas of Italy, Greece and Spain.

Economic losses could be as high as €5bn over the next 50 years for Italy, where at least 1m trees have already died, if nothing is done to halt the spread of the disease and olive groves are not replanted, the study found. In Spain, losses could total €17bn over the same period, and Greece could suffer to the tune of about €2bn.

In Search of Hidden Holy Sites

"In Search of Hidden Holy Sites" is a documentary series with historical and pilgrimage content. We searched and found hidden holy sites, and with the help of the best guides and the permissions needed, we recorded every piece of detail. The series travels to Jerusalem, Greece, Pontus, Istanbul, and Cyprus to holy lands where miracles still happen.

Top court upholds sentence for cat killer

In a ruling made public on Tuesday, Greece’s Supreme Court upheld a decision by a Piraeus court giving a local man a 15-month suspended prison sentence for killing a neighbor’s cat with an air gun and poisoning other cats in his neighborhood.

The Piraeus court had convicted him in 2018. It also deemed that his aim had been “to reduce the number of local cats, or wipe them out completely.”
