00:00Belgium's winemakers are busy adapting to climate change, and the rise in temperature
00:08is encouraging more winemaking in a country that's famous for its beer. But in Wallonia,
00:14near to the French border, the winemaking is also being hindered by the hazards of climate
00:19change.
00:44With global warming, the budding of the vines begins earlier in the season, making it more
00:48vulnerable to spring frost. And there's another headache, the recent appearance of insects
00:53and diseases in the vineyards of northern Europe, which used to be more common in the
00:58south.
01:25So winemakers are having to adapt and change their technique. The owner of Chaton Bon Baron
01:31now applies clay to her vines, to protect them from both water stress and heat stress.
01:37And she's also started removing some of the leaves from
01:57When Jeannette Van Der Steen started producing wine in the 2000s, the harvest began in Wallonia
02:15in mid-October, but she says it's now advanced to early September. Even so, despite it being
02:22August, she says it's still too early this year to predict when the harvest will begin.
02:33Police authorities in Denmark say facial recognition technology will be used in dealing
02:38with gang-related violence in the country. The announcement came at a meeting between Denmark's
02:44national police commissioner and justice minister. It follows the recent increases in violent crimes
02:50in Copenhagen that involved gangs from neighboring Sweden.

03:45In Fiumicino, a stretch of coastline an hour's drive away from Rome, beach concessions and the
03:50lack of a national law that regulates them, as required by the EU, are the main talking points
03:55among local beach establishments. But as opposed to calling a strike, as others have done, around
04:0110 local business owners have teamed up in the event of public tenders that could soon stripe
04:06them off their licenses. It's been over 10 years that Italy has failed to comply with the EU
04:11directive, which aims to promote competitiveness in the sector by freeing up the market.
04:16And with concessions expiring at the end of the year, time is running out.
04:41Some trade organizations have trust in the government's efforts to settle the dispute.
05:11Beach club operators are divided over how to navigate the issue. Meanwhile,
05:30discussions between Italy and the European Commission are still ongoing.
05:33We asked an expert to break down such complex scenario and its potential consequences.
05:38Eleonora Poli works for a think tank that focuses on EU policies and has covered the issue.
06:09With a few months left before the year draws to a close,
