www.euronews.net Dutch scientist Mark Post hopes that he will be able to produce the world's first test-tube burger later this year. He says it will look, and taste identical to a regular quarter-pounder. In the laboratory, he has already grown small strips of beef from bovine stem cells, and is now looking at ways to increase production. It is white because there are no blood cells. But researchers hope that once cooked, these cells will look and taste the same as conventionally produced meat.

www.euronews.net Scientists are calling it The Sixth Mass Extinction; species are dying off faster than at any time since the dinosaurs disappeared 65 million years ago. It is estimated that around 30000 species become extinct each year. In January, 100 EU researchers and policy experts met at Copenhagen University to discuss this biodiversity crisis. It is thought that previous mass extinctions were due to natural causes: asteroids, volcanic erruptions and climate evolution. The current mass extinction is primarily caused by humans.

www.euronews.com Finnish filmmaker Timo Vuorensola's latest movie is a science fiction comedy called 'Iron Sky.' It is 1945 and a group of Nazi scientists escape the Fall of Third Reich in space rockets and land on the Dark Side of the Moon. Undetected they construct a military base and invasion armada, but the announcement of the arrival of a US Space Shuttle spreads panic with hilarious consequences. The director says the film borrows from cinematic history: "I would say that if Mel Brooks wanted to do a film combining "Independence Day" and "Doctor Strangelove" our film would be more or less the end result." Iron Sky is on rolling world wide release. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

www.euronews.com There is a electrifying new way to squeeze more from an ancient resource - olives. "We have improved the olive oil extraction process by using a technology based on a pulsed electric field," explained Arturo Portugal, a research engineer at CRIC. In Malagón in central Spain, a small company is testing out a shocking new form of oil extraction. The idea is to shock the olives with an electrical pulse before squeezing them. The brief pulses of a strong electrical field enlarge the pores in the cellular membranes, simplifying the extraction of oil. Arturo Portugal told us: "The electric pulses, generated by this machine, are directed to this electric box where they pass through the olive paste, pumped through the pipes." The result is more oil from the same amount of raw material. What is more, punching open the pores of the fruit with an electric pulse makes it simpler to get the best oil from unripe olives. The owner of Aceites Malagón, Aniceto Gómez said: "To ensure the best quality of oil, it's important to extract it without heating. This project facilitates that process, making it possible to extract oil from the best green olives at ambient temperature." The pilot plant is treating six litres of olive paste per second. Once proven, the technology, developed within an EU project, will be scaled up to full production levels. Arturo Portugal said: "The emerging markets outside Europe nowadays produce goods at much lower price. This project means we can ...

www.euronews.com You might think 20 years after the demise of the Soviet Union the then-leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, would surely be relegated to the cast of political "has beens". But even without an active political role, he remains a firm fixture of Russian social life. Increasingly critical of Putin's ruling style he has often advised him to step down. euronews' Moscow correspondent Alexandre Shashkov met him to talk about the latest elections, and recent and yet-to-come social changes. Alexandre Shashkov: "The presidential elections are behind us, and now it's clear that in 2 months Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin will switch places. What do you think of the electoral campaign and the results of these elections?" Mikhail Gorbachev: "What's different in these elections from the previous ones, is that during the electoral campaign it became clear that society is emerging from a kind of vegetative state. People are starting to influence the agndas of the Prime Minister, future President, and Duma as well. The questions of serious change of the system, its democratization, and general reforms to make the electoral system better, remain high on the agenda. Because before, and this often angered me, the system got reformed in a way that only made it worse. It rejected the person, and pushed them out of the electoral process. Now it has to be vice versa, the system must be inclusive, and President Medvedev, in his last days in office, proposed a Constitutional Assembly, to ...

www.euronews.com The town of Ranong in Thailand is undergoing a construction boom, but the new homes are for birds, not people. And not just any old birds; they are for the tiny swifts whose nests are used in bird's nest soup. The idea is to construct buildings that mimic the swiftlets' natural living conditions; the dark, damp caves of South East Asia's tropical regions. The boom of birds' nest factories in Asia is a blessing for the species, which up until now had suffered from over-eager nest hunters. Other wild animals like rhinos, sharks and tigers are still being hunted. It is hard to believe that a nest made of bird saliva could be edible, let alone considered a delicacy, but some call them "white gold" and birds' nests are worth around 2000 euros per kilo. The Chinese believe that birds' nest soup improves digestion, increases libido, strengthens the voice, helps asthma, maintains youth and boosts the immune system. Whether or not that is true, it is certainly full of proteins and amino acids. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com
