Greece Aiming for 150 Waterways in Five Years

Greece is moving swiftly ahead with the licensing and construction of 150 waterways, which it hopes to have up and running across the country in the next five years, investors and government officials said this week.

Investors in the project are aiming to set up the largest seaplane network in Europe, creating at the same time a total of 7,000 jobs and bringing Greece at the forefront of developments in transport. According to estimates, in full operation waterways will contribute some 1 billion euros to the Greek economy.

Covid: How a £20 gadget could save lives

One of the mysteries of Covid-19 is why oxygen levels in the blood can drop to dangerously low levels without the patient noticing.

It is known as "silent hypoxia".

As a result, patients have been arriving in hospital in far worse health than they realised and, in some cases, too late to treat effectively.

But a potentially life-saving solution, in the form of a pulse oximeter, allows patients to monitor their oxygen levels at home, and costs about £20.
