For now, even though El Khativ does desire to balance a family with guiding one-day, her work comes first. The joy she finds in it is obvious through our time spent with her.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2024//05//12//travel-is-both-joyful-and-stressful-heres-how-i-overcome-anxiety-on-the-road/">stress/strong>/a> of her past days working in an office is not evident here: her face glows with satisfaction as she helps the group make their way across a precarious ledge on the Jordan Trail. Her humour has us laughing around the fire of the Bedouin camp where we camp one night, and her infectious dance moves have us all on our feet - on our last evening together - under the vast starlit skies of Wadi Rum.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jennifer Malloy was hosted by the Jordan Tourism Board and a guest of Experience Jordan and Feynan

We, the people of the north, have been disgraced and humiliated. We demand a review of this decision and consideration of the request for a ceasefire in all areas of the Strip. Rafah is not the only area affected,\" said Palestinian Nadia Al Debis. \n\nMore than 900,000 people have been displaced from Rafah in the last two weeks with many having little to no access to food, water or shelter.\u00a0 Large numbers of people had fled there amid intense fighting in the north and Israeli evacuation orders.\u00a0 \n\nBut Israel, which slammed the ruling, is unlikely to comply with the court ruling.\u00a0 \n\nICJ rulings are officially binding but have been previously ignored as the court lacks any enforcement powers. Russia, which was ordered in 2022 to halt its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, has yet to respond to its ruling. \n\nMeanwhile, the UN Security Council approved a resolution condemning attacks on humanitarian workers and UN personnel. \n\nThe vote was 14-0 with Russia abstaining. \n\nThe Swiss-sponsored resolution expressed grave concern at the growing number of attacks and threats against UN and humanitarian personnel and the disregard for and violations of international humanitarian law by combatants. \n\nPalestinian health authorities say the death toll in Gaza now stands at at least 35,000.

6th day of the Judo World Championship in Abu Dhabi marks an exhilarating day featuring the mixed team competition. \n\nA dynamic 6 vs 6 showdown, embodying the essence of teamwork, with three men and three women from each team, all vying for the pinnacle of victory. \n\nIn the semi-final, Japan went up against strong contenders Uzbekistan - Japan took an early lead with a hold down from Mao ARAI, but then an impressive ippon from Turoboyev looked promising for an Uzbek win. \n\nJapan ultimately won 4 - 1 through some brilliant judo, and progressed to the gold medal match. \n\nThe France VS Georgia semi-final was a much closer contest with back and forth wins for the first four contests, till World Champion Pinot and Axel Clerget closed out the contest for a French win and progress through to the gold medal match. \n\nMeeting in the final once again were Japan and France. They have faced each other in the final in the last 6 world championships, with Japan coming out on top every time. \n\nStarting with the heavyweights, Japan took an early lead and continued their run from there, with NAKANO, TAMAOKI and TANAKA all winning their contests. \n\nNewly crowned World Champion PINOT turned the tables. KAWABATA\u2019S win against CLERGET though sealed the victory for Japan and once again they will reign as World Mixed Team Champions. \n\nGold medals were awarded by President of the IJF Mr Marius VIZER and Mr Max-Herv\u00e9 GEORGE, CEO of Icona Capital and the gold trophy by\u00a0President of the UAE Judo Federation Mohammed Bin Thaaloob ALDEREI. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s amazing to have the seventh consecutive win in a row,\u201c said TAMAOKI. \n\nAt the end of the day, a flag passing ceremony was held to pass the honour of the World Championships to Hungary for 2025. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The 6th day of the Judo World Championship in Abu Dhabi marks an exhilarating day featuring the mixed team competition.<\/p>\n<p>A dynamic 6 vs 6 showdown, embodying the essence of teamwork, with three men and three women from each team, all vying for the pinnacle of victory.<\/p>\n<p>In the semi-final, Japan went up against strong contenders Uzbekistan - Japan took an early lead with a hold down from Mao ARAI, but then an impressive ippon from Turoboyev looked promising for an Uzbek win.<\/p>\n<p>Japan ultimately won 4 - 1 through some brilliant judo, and progressed to the gold medal match.<\/p>\n<div data-oembed-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C7WjCZavOpO\/\" class=\"widget widget--type-instagram widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C7WjCZavOpO\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

six-day-old US pier project in Gaza is starting to get more aid to Palestinians in need, but conditions are challenging, US officials said on Thursday.\u00a0 \n\nThat reflects the larger problems bringing food and other supplies to starving people in the besieged territory. \n\nThe floating pier had a troubled launch, with crowds overrunning some of the first trucks coming from the new US-led sea route and taking its contents over the weekend. One man in the crowd was shot dead in still unexplained circumstances. It led to a two-day suspension of aid distribution. \n\nThe US military worked with the UN and Israeli officials to select safer alternate routes for trucks coming from the pier, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper told reporters on Thursday. \n\nAs a result, the pier on Wednesday accounted for 27 of the 70 total trucks of aid that the UN was able to round up from all land and sea crossings into Gaza for distribution to civilians, the US said. \n\nThat's a fraction of the 150 truckloads of food, emergency nutrition treatment and other supplies that US officials aim to bring in when the sea route is working at maximum capacity. \n\nGaza needs 600 trucks entering each day, according to the US Agency for International Development, to curb a famine that the heads of USAID and the UN World Food Programme have said has begun in the north and to keep it from spreading south. \n\nOnly one of the 54 trucks that came from the pier on Tuesday and Wednesday encountered any security issues on their way to aid warehouses and distribution points, US officials said. They called the issues \u201cminor\u201d but gave no details. \n\nPier 'humanitarian theatre', critics say \n\nA deepening Israeli offensive in the southern city of Rafah has made it impossible for aid shipments to get through the crossing there, which is a key source of fuel and food coming into Gaza.\u00a0 \n\nIsrael says it is bringing aid in through another border crossing, Kerem Shalom, but humanitarian organisations say Israeli military operations make it difficult for them to retrieve the aid there for distribution. \n\nThe Biden administration last week launched the \u20ac296 million floating pier for a new maritime aid route into Gaza as the seven-month-long Israel-Hamas war and Israeli restrictions on land crossings have severely limited food deliveries to 2.3 million Palestinians. \n\nFor all humanitarian efforts, \u201cthe risks are manifold,\u201d Daniel Dieckhaus, USAID's response director for Gaza, said at a briefing with Cooper. \u201cThis is an active conflict with deteriorating conditions.\u201d \n\nDieckhaus rejected charges from some aid groups that the pier is diverting attention from what the US, UN and relief workers say is the essential need for Israel to allow full access to land crossings for humanitarian shipments. \n\nFor instance, Jeremy Konyndyk, a former USAID official now leading Refugees International, tweeted that \u201cthe pier is humanitarian theatre.\u201d \n\n\u201cI would not call, within a couple of days, getting enough food and other supplies for tens of thousands of people for a month theater,\u201d Dieckhaus said Thursday when asked about the criticism. \n\nAt maximum capacity, the pier would bring in enough food for 500,000 of Gaza's people. US officials stressed the need for the remaining 1.8 million to pass through open land crossings. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>A six-day-old US pier project in Gaza is starting to get more aid to Palestinians in need, but conditions are challenging, US officials said on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That reflects the larger problems bringing food and other supplies to starving people in the besieged territory.<\/p>\n<p>The floating pier had a troubled launch, with crowds overrunning some of the first trucks coming from the new US-led sea route and taking its contents over the weekend.

This is known as precision healthcare.\n\nAn increased understanding of human genetics, combined with the advances in biotechnology, diagnostics and data-driven technologies has led to this shift, enabling healthcare providers to better identify illnesses and develop more precise and effective treatments, with a stronger focus on risk prediction, prevention and pre-emptive measures.\n\nPrecision healthcare and the role of data in healthcare were among the key discussion topics at this year\u2019s inaugural Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week, an event where healthcare industry leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs and policymakers come together to collaborate, share ideas and strategise on the future of health.\n\nHow big data is helping tailor medical treatments\n\nOn the ground at Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week, it became clear that the road to individualised healthcare lies, somewhat paradoxically, in mass data gathering and sharing. \u201cReal-world data has enormous potential to shape healthcare,\u201d Alex Bedenkov, VP of Global Evidence for AstraZeneca\u2019s BioPharmaceuticals Medical, explained.\n\n\u201cTransitioning to the future of healthcare, we will be relying more and more on real world data and platforms, including population health platforms.\u201d\n\nAt AstraZeneca, precision medicine is applied across its portfolio, first in oncology and now in tackling complex chronic diseases, by identifying and testing specific gene products and biomarkers to uncover how they are linked to disease and to guide the development of tailored drugs.\n\nBeyond industry, national healthcare systems are also harnessing the power of data. Health data exchanges are widely in operation around the world, but no system is more robust than the UAE\u2019s Malaffi Health Information Exchange. A centralised database of unified patient records, Malaffi enables the efficient exchange of patient information between healthcare providers, improving healthcare delivery, equity and patient outcomes.\n\n\u201cThis type of platform will shape everything,\u201d Bedenkov said about Malaffi. \u201cStarting by automating patient care pathways, moving into population health, and, most importantly, using this data for the benefits of drug development.\u201d\n\nThe groundbreaking potential of genomic data\n\nAnd it\u2019s not just any data. Today, data-driven healthcare tools are being shaped by genetics and genomics data. As a prime example, we can look to the Emirati Genome Programme, the world\u2019s largest genome project, which uses cutting-edge DNA sequencing and artificial intelligence technologies to generate quality and comprehensive genomic data about Emiratis.\n\nIncorporated into the Malaffi exchange, this reference genome is now informing clinical decision-making with the aim of improving health outcomes at scale. This will be a significant leap towards precision medicine and safer healthcare, with progress continuing as scientists gain a more comprehensive understanding of what drives human health and illness at a genetic level.\n\nAshish Koshy, Chief Operating Officer of M42, understands this better than anyone. His organisation\u2019s deeptech product, Med42, is an open-access clinical Large Language Model (LLM) driven by generative AI and trained on data from the Emirati Genome Programme.\n\n\u201cIt is fundamental as a health tech company to have high-quality datasets to come up with insights that support personalised and precision medicine. Every individual's genomics is your baseline,\u201d he explained.\n\n\u201c[The Emirati Genome Programme] gives every citizen the ability to sequence their genes, which means that we can better understand the health risks of each and every individual. When they walk into a hospital, doctors can prescribe medicines based on their genomics, using the Malaffi portal.\u201d\n\nUnlocking the full value of our health data\n\nDespite promising national collaborations, exemplified by Malaffi and the Emirati Genome Programme, there is nothing quite like it on an international scale. Regulatory challenges as well as bureaucracy in the public and private sectors stall progress, but, if we truly want to impact global health, countries and companies across the globe need to come together. \u201cWorking off national datasets can\u2019t solve all our problems,\u201d Koshy said. \u201cBut imagine if we could get countries to securely share datasets to solve much bigger problems?\u201d\n\n\u201cTo see the true benefit of AI, the data should be large scale. We should collaborate, not just within Abu Dhabi, but also across different regions.\u201d\n\nThe aim of Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week is to enable this type of international, cross-sector collaboration. This year, AstraZeneca and M42 were joined by dozens of other international healthcare leaders at the inaugural event, including Raymond Fryrear II, M.D., Global Vice President, Scientific Affairs for Robotics and MedTech Digital, @Johnson&Johnson.\n\n\u201cThis conference is a very unique experience, with policymakers, providers and industry all under the same roof having these conversations,\u201d Fryrear said. \u201cTechnology and biology are important pieces of the puzzle, but the most important piece is people. And that's why connections and networks are so important.\u201d\n\nEmpowering patients with equitable access\n\nPrecision medicine doesn\u2019t always have to be new and complex. Dr Stephen Grobmyer, Institute Chair at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, explained how their state-of-the-art facilities combine with a patient-centred model of care.\n\n\u201cIn addition to the technology that's coming, [at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi] we tend to focus on the basics, which are exercise, weight management and family history. If we could get people to stop smoking, exercise three times a week and control their diet, then we would make a lot of progress in reducing diabetes, obesity and a lot of the diseases that are related to those habits.\u201d\n\nData sharing linked with AI technologies helps support this basic approach, putting power back into the hands of the individual. Widely accessible digital innovations such as health tracking using biometric data and \u2018in app\u2019 diagnostic results help democratise healthcare access.\n\nInnovations in this area were all present in Abu Dhabi for the event, including GluCare, a diabetic healthcare centre offering remote metabolic monitoring, and DietID, a digital dietary assessment tool. These digital apps aim to simplify the patient experience, allowing easy and fast enrollment to diagnostic testing and health management programmes that use evidence-based AI tools to give health advice at scale.\n\nAs well as alleviating the burden on healthcare systems, these precise digital tools promote health awareness and empower the populace to take ownership of their health, by incorporating genetic factors and lifestyle biometrics into their daily lives.\n\nData sharing vs data security\n\nDespite its potential to improve population health and facilitate research, many people still have concerns about the wide-scale sharing of health data, particularly when it comes to its use in artificial intelligence tools.\n\nWhile the potential of precision healthcare is vast, collaboration across borders and sectors is crucial to address regulatory challenges, ensure data security and democratise healthcare access.\n\n\u201cIt is not only an obstacle, but also an opportunity,\u201d Koshi said. \u201cWe need to work together collaboratively among all stakeholders, including governments and policymakers, to understand how to use this data properly, without harming patients and patient interests.\u201d\n\nWith new advancements pushing forth global healthcare every day, events such as Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week help build the path to success. Beyond genetics and data, this year\u2019s event showcased a wide range of new technologies and innovations, also holding forums with policymakers and business leaders to support future healthcare strategy and unlock the full potential of precision healthcare around the world.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>The one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare is becoming a thing of the past, shifting towards a more individualised model of care that takes into account a person\u2019s unique characteristics \u2013 their genes, environment and lifestyle.

Regulatory challenges as well as bureaucracy in the public and private sectors stall progress, but, if we truly want to impact global health, countries and companies across the globe need to come together. \u201cWorking off national datasets can\u2019t solve all our problems,\u201d Koshy said. \u201cBut imagine if we could get countries to securely share datasets to solve much bigger problems?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see the true benefit of AI, the data should be large scale. We should collaborate, not just within Abu Dhabi, but also across different regions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The aim of Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week is to enable this type of international, cross-sector collaboration. This year, AstraZeneca and M42 were joined by dozens of other international healthcare leaders at the inaugural event, including Raymond Fryrear II, M.D., Global Vice President, Scientific Affairs for Robotics and MedTech Digital, @Johnson&Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis conference is a very unique experience, with policymakers, providers and industry all under the same roof having these conversations,\u201d Fryrear said. \u201cTechnology and biology are important pieces of the puzzle, but the most important piece is people. And that's why connections and networks are so important.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Empowering patients with equitable access<\/h2><p>Precision medicine doesn\u2019t always have to be new and complex. Dr Stephen Grobmyer, Institute Chair at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, explained how their state-of-the-art facilities combine with a patient-centred model of care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to the technology that's coming, [at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi] we tend to focus on the basics, which are exercise, weight management and family history. If we could get people to stop smoking, exercise three times a week and control their diet, then we would make a lot of progress in reducing diabetes, obesity and a lot of the diseases that are related to those habits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Data sharing linked with AI technologies helps support this basic approach, putting power back into the hands of the individual. Widely accessible digital innovations such as health tracking using biometric data and \u2018in app\u2019 diagnostic results help democratise healthcare access.<\/p>\n<p>Innovations in this area were all present in Abu Dhabi for the event, including GluCare, a diabetic healthcare centre offering remote metabolic monitoring, and DietID, a digital dietary assessment tool. These digital apps aim to simplify the patient experience, allowing easy and fast enrollment to diagnostic testing and health management programmes that use evidence-based AI tools to give health advice at scale.<\/p>\n<p>As well as alleviating the burden on healthcare systems, these precise digital tools promote health awareness and empower the populace to take ownership of their health, by incorporating genetic factors and lifestyle biometrics into their daily lives.<\/p>\n<h2>Data sharing vs data security<\/h2><p>Despite its potential to improve population health and facilitate research, many people still have concerns about the wide-scale sharing of health data, particularly when it comes to its use in artificial intelligence tools.<\/p>\n<p>While the potential of precision healthcare is vast, collaboration across borders and sectors is crucial to address regulatory challenges, ensure data security and democratise healthcare access.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not only an obstacle, but also an opportunity,\u201d Koshi said. \u201cWe need to work together collaboratively among all stakeholders, including governments and policymakers, to understand how to use this data properly, without harming patients and patient interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With new advancements pushing forth global healthcare every day, events such as Abu Dhabi Global Healthcare Week help build the path to success. Beyond genetics and data, this year\u2019s event showcased a wide range of new technologies and innovations, also holding forums with policymakers and business leaders to support future healthcare strategy and unlock the full potential of precision healthcare around the world.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1716469401,"updatedAt":1716979135,"publishedAt":1716473592,"firstPublishedAt":1716473598,"lastPublishedAt":1716473592,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Getty

European states\u00a0\u2014 Spain, Ireland and Norway\u00a0\u2014 have announced they will formally recognise the Palestinian state, seven months after the Gaza war broke out.\u00a0 \n\nThe highly symbolic move was coordinated between the three nations on Wednesday, following months of negotiations between a group of European countries willing to take the step. \n\nSpeaking on Wednesday morning, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez\u00a0\u2014 who had vowed to recognise Palestine by June\u00a0\u2014 announced Spain would recognise the State of Palestine next Tuesday, 28 May.\u00a0 \n\n\"The time to move from words to action has come,\"\u00a0S\u00e1nchez told the Spanish House of Representatives. \"To tell the millions of Palestinians that are suffering that we stand with them, that there's hope, and that despite the walls that are erected, the villages that are bombed and the illegal settlements that are built, the land and the identity of the Palestinians still exist.\" \n\nS\u00e1nchez and his Irish counterpart, Taoiseach Simon Harris, have been at the forefront of efforts to build a coalition of like-minded EU member states on the Palestinian question.\u00a0 \n\n\"This is a historic and important day for Ireland and for Palestine,\" said Harris in Dublin on Wednesday morning.\u00a0 \n\nIrish foreign minister Miche\u00e1l Martin announced on social media platform X that Dublin's recognition would be official from 28 May as the country moves in tandem with Spain.\u00a0 \n\nNorwegian prime minister Jonas Gahr Stoere also announced his country will formally recognise Palestine as a state earlier on Wednesday.\u00a0\"There can't be peace without a Palestinian state,\"\u00a0Stoere told reporters in Oslo. \n\nAccording to Euronews sources, Norway is likely to mimic both Spain and Ireland in making the official recognition effective from 28 May. \n\nThree other EU members likely to follow suit shortly \n\nEuropean Union member states Slovenia and Malta have also indicated in recent weeks that they may recognise Palestinian statehood, claiming it is vital to bring peace to the region.\u00a0 \n\nIn March, both EU member states signed a joint declaration \u00a0saying they stand ready to recognise Palestine with their Spanish and Irish counterparts on the margins of a summit in Brussels. \n\nSlovenia's government approved a decree on 9 May that allows it to recognise the Palestinian state, and Prime Minister Robert Golob indicated that Ljubljana could formalise the move next month. \n\nBelgium is also likely to follow suit soon, but refrained from signing the March declaration of intent as it currently holds the six-month rotating Presidency of the Council of the EU, responsible for overseeing its work and therefore likely restricted from signing such declarations. \n\nBelgium's Deputy Prime Minister\u00a0Vincent Van Peteghem said on Wednesday that Belgium \"must also\" recognise the state of Palestine. \n\n\"A lasting peace solution only has a chance when both parties at the negotiating table have the same status, and the peoples are recognized in their equal rights and freedoms,\" Van Peteghem said on X . \n\n'Terrorism pays' \n\nThe move is opposed by Israel, which has claimed it will \"fuel instability\" in the Middle East. Israel Katz, the country's foreign affairs minister, has recalled Israel's ambassadors to Ireland and Norway for consultations and has warned Spain that similar steps will be taken. \n\n\"I\u2019m sending a clear and unequivocal message to Ireland and Norway: Israel will not remain silent in the face of those undermining its sovereignty and endangering its security,\" he wrote in a statement shared on X. \n\n\"Today\u2019s decision sends a message to the Palestinians and the world: Terrorism pays,\" he also wrote, adding: \"Israel will not remain silent - there will be further severe consequences.\" \n\nIt comes against a backdrop of continued protests in support of the Palestinians in Gaza and mounting global condemnation of Israel's harsh military offensive.\u00a0 \n\nThe International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday said it was seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as several Hamas leaders, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.\u00a0 \n\nNetanyahu and Israel's principal ally, the US, slammed the ICC move, with President Joe Biden calling it \"outrageous\".\u00a0 \n\nPalestinian statehood has been recognised by 139 out of 193 United Nations (UN) member states to date.\u00a0 \n\nFirst proposed by the UN in 1947, the two-state solution envisions creating two separate nations: one for Jews (Israel) and one for Palestinians (Palestine). It would involve dividing the land, with each state having its own government. The goal is to allow both sides to live side by side peacefully and independently. \n\nIsrael's war in Gaza has killed more than 35,500 people \u2014 mostly women and children\u00a0\u2014 according to Palestinian authorities.\u00a0 \n\nThe fighting began on 7 October after Hamas' surprise raid in southern Israel, which killed 1,200 people, again mostly civilians.\u00a0 \n\nAround 125 hostages seized during the attack are still held by the militant Palestinian group. \n\nEurope deeply split on Palestinian statehood \n\nThe move puts the EU\u2019s highly divided stance on the war in Gaza and the Palestinians\u2019 protracted fight for statehood into sharp focus. \n\nNine of the EU\u2019s 27 member states currently recognise Palestinians' right to a state according to the so-called 1967 borders, which include the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. \n\nThey include eastern states such as Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, and Slovakia, as well as the island states of Cyprus and Malta.\u00a0 \n\nThey also include Sweden, which became the first member state to unilaterally recognise Palestinians' right to statehood while a member of the EU in 2014. \n\nBut many of these countries made this recognition in 1988 and have since shifted their positions towards a staunch pro-Israeli stance, most notably Hungary and the Czech Republic. \n\nHungary\u2019s Viktor Orb\u00e1n and the Czech Republic\u2019s Petr Fiala were among the first to censure the International Criminal Court\u2019s decision to seek an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant. \n\nHungary has also wielded its veto power to delay critical EU decisions in response to the conflict in Gaza, including sanctions on violent Israeli settlers and a joint appeal to Israel not to launch a full-scale operation on the town of Rafah. \n\nBoth Hungary and the Czech Republic were the only EU member states to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution\u00a0to give \u201cfavourable consideration\u201d to Palestine\u2019s application for full UN membership on 10 May. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Three European states\u00a0\u2014 Spain, Ireland and Norway\u00a0\u2014 have
