Cannes Tightens Cruise Ship Rules; Germany Boosts University Access & Preserves History
Cannes is tightening its cruise ship regulations, while Germany sees progress in university access and historical preservation. Meanwhile, e-scooter parking rules are changing, and medical breakthroughs are being made using axolotl slime peptides. Suriname has eliminated malaria, and Ukraine is moving closer to the EU. Austria's 'Chatnet' app is connecting strangers, and Norway has shut down its last coal mine.
Starting from 2026, Cannes will limit cruise ships to one per day, with a maximum capacity of 3,000 passengers. This restriction will further tighten in 2030, allowing only ships with a maximum capacity of 1,300 passengers to dock.
In Germany, two-thirds of university courses are now unrestricted, making higher education more accessible. Additionally, a Turkish-German museum is planned in Berlin to fill a gap in the federal German historical landscape.
Wild parking of shared e-scooters will be banned, giving cities more control over parking areas. Meanwhile, peptides from the axolotl's slime have shown potential in fighting resistant germs and killing cancer cells.
Suriname has become the first malaria-free country in the Amazon region after 70 years of efforts. In international relations, a new trade agreement will gradually bring Ukraine closer to the EU following the Russian invasion.
The 'Chatnet' app in Austria mediates anonymous conversation partners for free, with users talking for an average of 25 minutes. Lastly, Norway has closed its last coal mine, ending over a century of coal use for electricity production.
Cannes' cruise ship restrictions aim to preserve the city's environment and tourism appeal. Germany's university reforms and historical initiatives show progress in accessibility and cultural representation. The e-scooter parking ban, axolotl slime research, Suriname's malaria elimination, Ukraine's EU integration, Austria's Chatnet app, and Norway's coal mine closure all reflect significant developments in various sectors.
