Eagle S ship

First, the news about cable breaks in the Baltic Sea.

The operation of the Eagle S ship in the event of cable breaches is unclear.

Cables were cut in the Baltic Sea at Christmas.
The Finnish National Criminal Police (KRP) has investigated the Eagle S ship and its crew.

It has appeared in many ways that the ship intentionally broke the cables.

Yle has received information that the Finnish Security Intelligence Service may have other ideas.

The idea is that the ship accidentally broke the cables. The ship’s anchor may have accidentally fallen and broken the cables.

The explanation puzzles the expert. If a ship is running with the anchor down, it affects the ship’s course. The captain usually notices this.

The ship is still in Finnish waters in Porvoo.

Now, news about agriculture.

The distribution of agricultural subsidies is upsetting to many farmers.

Thousands of farms receive agricultural subsidies even though they do not produce food.

Subsidies are paid based on the size of the fields. The amount of harvest or the plants do not affect the subsidy.

Support is available for pollinator plants and grass, for example.
Agricultural entrepreneur Juha Mäkinen says the situation is unfair.

“Well, that’s not necessarily fair. I would love to see cultivated fields and well-tended fields myself.”

The distribution of agricultural subsidies is upsetting to many farmers.

There are approximately 10,000 farms in Finland that do not produce food. In 2020, they received 86 million euros in subsidies.

Finally, cultural news.

These are buildings designed by Alvar Aalto, Finland’s most famous architect.

Finland is applying for Alvar Aalto’s architecture to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The Finnish National Board of Antiquities’ presentation includes 13 Aalto buildings around Finland.

Finland is applying for Alvar Aalto’s architecture to be included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
