Countering drones

First, news about security policy.

Finland needs instructions on drone countermeasures, says expert.

There is a discussion in Finland about combating drones, because Ukrainian drones have accidentally flown towards Finland.

Jukka Savolainen, director of the European Hybrid Competence Center, says that guidelines are needed to combat drones.

Drones are a new thing. There are no legal guidelines for them yet.

Savolainen estimates that the drone can also be repelled outside Finnish territorial waters because there are no people on board.

The Parliamentary Defense Committee will meet on Tuesday. It will discuss drones and hazard communication.

There is a desire to improve the risk communication about drones in Finland.

Cow emissions

Now the news about cow emissions and breeding.

Methane emissions from Finnish cows have decreased significantly.

The main reason is that cows use feed more efficiently than before.

The cow produces good milk, even though it eats less than before.

Breeding expert Johanna Aro says that cows can be bred to have lower emissions.

When a cow’s feed intake decreases, the cow’s emissions also decrease.

Methane emissions from Finnish cows have decreased significantly.

New research shows that emissions from cows have decreased by almost 30 percent over 35 years.

Cow health also improves when cows use feed efficiently.

Farms also save money when feed consumption is reduced.

Eurovision

Finally, news about Eurovision.

Finland came in sixth (6th) place in Eurovision.

The Finnish song was Liekinheitin (Flame Thrower). It was performed by singer Pete Parkkonen and violinist Linda Lampenius.

Finland was the pre-emptive favorite for Eurovision. Predictions said that Finland could win Eurovision.

However, Finland came in sixth place in Eurovision.

The Bulgarian song “Bagaranga” won the Eurovision Song Contest. The victory was a big surprise for Bulgaria.

Eurovision is a very popular show. It was watched by about 2.6 million Finns.

Tuesday weather

Still a weather forecast.

The weather on Tuesday will be variable. It will rain in parts of the country and there may be thunderstorms. There will be light rain in Lapland and the east.

In the east, temperatures can rise above 25 degrees.
