INSPECTIONS OF TURKISH CYPRIOT HALLOUMI PRODUCERS TO BEGIN
Inspections of Turkish Cypriot halloumi producers will begin with a view to allowing Turkish Cypriot halloumi to be exported across the Green Line and into the wider European Union, Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman said on Thursday.
He wrote in a post on social media that the legislation allowing halloumi to be exported across the Green Line as a product of protected designation of origin (PDO) had entered into force in 2021, but that in the intervening five years, no inspectors were appointed to certify the producers and thus allow them to export their products.
DUST WARNING - DOCTORS URGE CAUTION AS TOXIC PARTICLES BYPASS LUNG DEFENCES
DUST WARNING - DOCTORS URGE CAUTION AS TOXIC PARTICLES BYPASS LUNG DEFENCES - in-cyprus 16/4 by Marilena Panayi
Cyprus doctors are urging residents to limit unnecessary time outdoors as dust episodes continue across the island, warning that the particles carried in the air are too small for the body’s own filtering mechanisms to stop.
Charis Armeftis, President of the Cyprus Pulmonology Society, told Phileleftheros that dust brings with it a cocktail of toxic microparticles, bacteria and microbes. The most dangerous, he said, are so minute that they pass straight through the lungs’ filtering defences and enter the lung tissue directly.
“When there is dust in the atmosphere, everything it carries comes with it,” Armeftis said.

Alarm for Booking.com users after a data breach that allegedly gave hackers access to personal information and booking information, paving the way for targeted phishing attacks.

For its part, the Netherlands-based company informed that it has sent warning emails to affected users, but did not specify their number or the affected areas.

THE BLOCKADE OF HORMUZ IS A BET THAT TRUMP CANNOT WIN
THE BLOCKADE OF HORMUZ IS A BET THAT TRUMP CANNOT WIN -Filenews 16/4
By Marc Champion
For someone who understands the power of influence, Donald Trump is too slow to acknowledge the influence that Iran has gained in the Strait of Hormuz. The US president's threat to shut it down completely, while also blocking Iranian exports passing through it, is far more likely to drag him deeper into a politically damaging war than to force Tehran into capitulation.
ISRAELI VISITORS BACK IN PAPHOS
ISRAELI VISITORS BACK IN PAPHOS - Filenews 16/4 by Dora Christodoulou
The first Israeli visitors appear again in Paphos, after months of the complete suspension of the connection between Cyprus and Israel as a result of the war in the Middle East.
At Paphos International Airport, after the complete malaise of the flight schedule by European countries, the Israelis are timidly returning to our land, in a development that is characterized as significant even without yet approaching the numbers of the era before the war in Iran.
At Paphos airport, in addition to the arrival of visitors from Israel, flights from Tel Aviv have recently been recorded regarding the use of the airport as a transit station for trips to European destinations.
This resumption of movements by Israel is considered as a first (still small) step for the rapid improvement of the situation regarding arrivals from the Israeli market in our country.
