BBC NEWS | Health | Row over coffee advice for diabetics (#)

  „Diabetes experts in the UK said more needed to be known about why coffee drinkers had a reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, and warned there were risks in drinking too much coffee. Type 2, or non-insulin dependent diabetes is the most common form of the disease and usually occurs in people who are over 45 and overweight. They do not make enough insulin, or cannot make proper use of it.“

BBC ON THIS DAY | 6 | 1983: Danes raid British fishing grounds

  „During the first three weeks of January 1983, European fishing laws were in a state of limbo and during this time the UK enforced the Sea Fish (Specified UK Waters - Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1982. On January 23, the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) came into force giving equal access to fishing grounds to European countries, with quotas set by the Council of Ministers. So the British government had to lift the ban. Some 18 months later, in July 1984, Kent Kirk won his case against the British government in the European Court of Justice.“
