Stories For Valentine's Day - Part 1

On the anniversary of the martyrdom of a third century Christian clergyman, here are some things going on:



















From the (Irish) Independent, Ireland sets up 903 new speed cameras.










From Radio Prague, archaeologists unearth seven graves dating to the Great Moravian Empire in Staré Město, Czech Republic.  (Due to the similarity between the Czech and Polish languages, I can make an educated guess that the town's name means "old town".  Great Moravia was established in 833 and lasted about 80 years.)





From Russia Today, watch Lake Baikal freeze over.


From The Moscow Times, Russian coronavirus patients in love.








From Balkan Insight, the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo welcome an agreement to restore railroad service between the two countries.  (Let's hope that the Serbs and Kosovars don't get any ideas from certain Canadians.)












From The Portugal News, young Portuguese activists plan a climate strike for March 13th.  (Will the strikers go anywhere near the Chinese embassy?)
