Porto City Hall determines "urgent felling" of 19 trees on Avenida dos Aliados

The Porto City Council decided to order the urgent felling of 19 trees on Avenida dos Aliados, one of the main arteries of the city. The decision was made this week and the cutting work is taking place during this period.

The Porto municipality justified the measure with the need to renew the existing trees on this emblematic street. According to the council, a "progressive renewal of the remaining trees" is planned for Avenida dos Aliados.

The decision comes in a context of concern about the state of conservation of the trees on the avenue. The council did not specify the reasons for the urgent felling of these 19 trees specifically, nor did it present a detailed schedule for their replacement.

London will be on "the wrong side of history" with sanctions application, says Isaac Herzog

Israeli President Isaac Herzog warned that the United Kingdom will be "on the wrong side of history" if it imposes sanctions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, just hours before London announced those measures. Herzog criticized the sanctions as interference in Israeli elections and stated they would economically harm the Palestinians. British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced targeted sanctions specifically on settlement expansion, although they do not represent a total boycott of Israeli products. The measures come in the context of growing outrage in Western countries over the acceleration of settlement construction in the West Bank, territory occupied by Israel since 1967 and considered illegal by the UN and the international community.
