Europe

The Dalai Lama claims Europe has taken too many refugees and is at risk of losing its culture and values, and warned that Germany is becoming an Arab country. According to the Dalai Lama, the “moral solution to the problem” involves sending migrants home. “The goal should be to return and help rebuild their own countries”. “When we look at the face of each refugee, but especially those of the children and women, we feel their suffering, and a human being who has a better situation in life has the responsibility to help them.

European scientists have warned of a possible nuclear “incident” in the Arctic circle after finding radioactive Iodine-131 over large parts of Europe.  According to the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety, scientists do not know the origins of the radiation and are worried that its detection in Europe may indicate some kind of nuclear incident in the vicinity of the Arctic circle.

On Sunday we reported that concerns have spread in Europe about a potential nuclear "incident" following a recent report by a French nuclear watchdog agency - the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN), the French national public expert in nuclear and radiological risks - that radioactive Iodine-131 had been observed across much of northern and central Europe. Since the isotope has a half-life of only eight days, the detection was an indication of a rather recent release. As the Barents Observer added, "where the radioactivity is coming from is still a mystery."
