GB News: Gardener shares 'excellent deterrent' to keep birds away from tomatoes and strawberries

Garden expert Richard King suggests that these painted decoys can condition birds to associate bright colors with disappointment, effectively deterring them. This family-friendly project not only protects gardens but also engages children in creative gardening activities.

Le Monde: At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden
The Finnish group KAJ won Sweden's "Melodifestivalen" on March 8, 2025, securing their spot to represent Sweden in the Eurovision finale in Basel on May 17. Their song, celebrating sauna culture, triumphed over previous winner Måns Zelmerlöw, marking a significant cultural moment amidst historical rivalry.
This victory is particularly meaningful for the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, which has dwindled to 5% of the population. Supporters hope it will enhance the status of the Swedish language in Finnish society.
