Return centers. Strawberries. Football. Weather.

There will be no Selkuutinen TV broadcast on Friday, June 19th, because it is Midsummer.

*****************************************

Return centers

First, news from the EU.

In the future, EU countries will be allowed to send asylum seekers outside the EU. Countries will be allowed to send people who are not granted asylum in an EU country outside the EU. The matter was decided by the EU Parliament.

In the future, EU countries will be allowed to send asylum seekers outside the EU. EU countries can also send a person who is in the EU without a residence permit to a return centre.

Strawberries

Now the topic of the news is strawberries.

There are Finnish strawberries in stores during Midsummer. The weather has been rainy, and that’s why the strawberries ripen slowly. It’s also difficult to pick strawberries in the rain.

Strawberries ripen at different rates in different parts of Finland. In Southwest Finland, strawberries ripened about 2 weeks ago. In these pictures, pickers are picking strawberries in Salo, Southwest Finland.

Finnish strawberries are available in stores on Midsummer. If the sun shines on Midsummer, strawberries will soon ripen in different parts of Finland.

World Cup

Next, sports.

All teams in the World Cup have now played one match.

In the night’s matches, Ghana beat Panama and Colombia beat Uzbekistan. On Wednesday night, Portugal drew with the Democratic Republic of Congo. England beat Croatia 4-2. Harry Kane scored 2 goals in the game.

The most goals scored so far is Argentina’s Lionel Messi. He scored 3 goals in the match against Algeria. Messi has scored a total of 16 goals in different World Cups. Only Germany’s Miroslav Klose has scored as many goals in a World Cup.

The World Cup will be played in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Weather

Still a weather forecast.

Tomorrow, Friday, the sun will shine in many places across Finland. In the south and west, the temperature will be above 20 degrees. In the east, it will be cloudier and cooler than elsewhere.
