According to FTNN news, Italian car company DR Automobiles faced a fine of 600 million euros (approximately 210 million NT) from the AGCM for labeling many Chinese-made vehicles as 'Made in Italy' since December 2021, including Chery, BAIC, and Anhui Jianghuai vehicles. This deceitful practice, combined with inadequate parts supply and after-sales service, led to consumer rights violations. DR Automobiles defended themselves by stating that only 60-70% of the vehicles were assembled in China, followed by significant modifications in their factories to meet European fuel and collision standards. The company plans to appeal the decision, denying any intention of misleading the public or advertising the cars as entirely manufactured in Italy.

The Spanish vacation islands of Menorca and Mallorca were hit by a phenomenon known as a 'weather tsunami' recently. Terrifying footage from Menorca showed a rapid rise in water levels at the beach, causing panic among tourists who fled the scene. Sunbeds and umbrellas were swept into the sea, but thankfully, no casualties were reported. This unusual weather event, triggered by rapid atmospheric changes, has occurred at least five times recently, with wave heights reaching up to 3 feet. Mallorca also experienced a similar event, where roads in Puerto Alcudia were flooded by the rising sea levels. Weather tsunamis, unlike seismic tsunamis, are caused by atmospheric pressure disturbances, leading to rapid changes in sea levels near the coastline.
