In a move that causes emotion and concern about the appearance of cases of foot-and-mouth disease, the owner of a large livestock unit with about 480 cows himself asked the Veterinary Services for the immediate euthanasia of his herd. The reason? His inability to see his animals suffering helplessly from pain.

Cows show the harshest symptoms of the disease: open, bleeding sores in the mouth that prevent them from eating even the softest grass, and deep ulcers on the legs that make any attempt to stand up a painful experience.

Problems with hidden handles on car doors are being recorded internationally, which led the Department of Road Transport (TOM) to issue a warning notice about possible risks to passenger safety, even making recommendations to the owners of these vehicles. This particular type of grip was popularized by billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla and is mainly introduced in electric car models.

In particular, hidden or pop-up handles are a type of handle on car doors that does not protrude from the "body" of the vehicle when it is turned off. Instead of the traditional handle pulled by the driver, their surface is flat and integrated into the vehicle, and is activated electronically or mechanically when the door needs to be opened.

Proposed legislation in Cyprus aimed at tightening rules on real estate purchases by non-EU nationals is raising significant concern among industry bodies, who warn it could undermine a key driver of the island’s economy.

The bills currently under discussion in Parliament propose amendments to the legal framework governing property acquisitions by non-EU nationals. The measures would increase oversight by the Land Registry and introduce new restrictions on both individuals and companies involved in property transactions.
