Итальянские власти прогнали с небольшого острова Буделли 81-летнего Мауро Моранди, который на протяжении последних 32 лет жил в одиночестве между Сардинией и Корсикой, сообщило издание Metro.co.uk во вторник, 27 апреля. «После 32 лет пребывания здесь мне очень грустно уезжать», — поделился Моранди. Несколько десятилетий Мауро Моранди оставался единственным жителем острова и заботился о местной природе. Моранди принимал на острове туристов, которым разрешено бывать на Буделли только в ходе однодневных поездок. 11 февраля на Багамах нашли трех Робинзонов Крузо, ими оказались двое мужчин и женщина.

Любой въезжающий в Англию и Шотландию должен будет сдать тест на коронавирус перед въездом в страну. Согласно новым планам, изложенным секретарем по транспорту Грантом Шаппсом, пассажиры, прибывающие в страну на корабле, поезде или самолете, должны пройти тест не позднее чем за 72 часа до рейса, информирует metro.co.uk. Граждане Великобритании также должны будут пройти тест перед возвращением из-за границы. Правила были согласованы министрами вчера вечером, поскольку число случаев резко возросло, и третий национальный локдаун заставил страну закрыть свои границы. Г-н Шаппс надеется, что этот шаг поможет предотвратить проникновение в Великобританию новых вариантов Covid-19, обнаруженных в таких странах, как Южная Африка и Дания.

Un student din Suedia a propus un design pentru un potențial drapel al Pământului. Oskar Pernefeldt este student la Beckmans University of Design în Stockholm, Suedia, informează metro.co.uk. Despre designul viitorului drapel al Pământului el a spus că cele șapte inele centrate în mijlocul flagului reprezintă o floare – simbolul vieții pe Pământ. Inelele sunt inter-conectate, ceea ce demonstrează că tot ce există pe planeta noastră se află într-o interdependență directă sau indirectă. Autorul designului crede că, în curând, va dispărea conceptul de „national branding” și pământenii se vor promova ca și națiune aparte în fața altor planete din univers.
