Annabel Maclennan investigates plans to build a space port on the Moine Peninsula.

Annabel Maclennan investigates plans to build a space port on the Moine Peninsula in Sutherland. For some it’s an opportunity to revive communities but others fear environmental consequences.

Tha planaichean airson port-fànais a thogail air Rubha na Mòine ann an Cataibh air connspaid adhbharachadh. Do chuid, cothrom a th’ann an sgìre ath-bheothachadh ach do chuid eile tha dragh ann mun bhuaidh air an àrainneachd.  Leis a’ phròiseact an-dràsta na thàmh ri linn iarrtas airson ath-sgrùdadh laghail, tha Annabel NicIllfhinnein ag aithris.   

Tha beachd ann gun do rinn a’ Ghearmailt nas fhèarr gus dèiligeadh ri Covid-19 na mòran dhùthchanan eile – an Rìoghachd Aonaichte nam measg.  Dh’fhaodadh gur e na thathas a’ cosg air slàinte an sin agus an àireamh mhòr de leabannan ICU is coireach.   Ach tha cuid a’ rabhadh gu bheil e ro thràth coimeas dhe leithid a dhèanamh mus bi am pandemic seachad.  Tha Andreas Wolff ag aithris à Berlin.  

Plans to build a space port on the Moine Peninsula in Sutherland have proven to be controversial. For some it’s an opportunity to revive dwindling communities but others fear potential environmental consequences.  With the project currently at a standstill due to a request for a judicial review, Annabel Maclennan investigates.  

Some say Germany has dealt with Covid-19 in a better way than many other countries – including the UK.  The number of deaths is far lower.  A higher than European average expenditure on health and the highest number of ICU beds in Europe could be among the reasons.  Butsome warn that it is too early to draw comparisons of this kind before the pandemic is over.  Andreas Wolff reports from Berlin.
