Tha Calum ann an Estòinia, far a bheil lagh ùr gus na h-aon chòirichean a th’ aig daoine a tha pòsta cuideachd a thoirt dha daoine a th’ ann an càirdeas aona-ghnèitheach. ‘S i Estòinia a' chiad seann dùthaich Shoibhiatach a tha air a leithid a dhèanamh, ach chan eil a' chùis air a bhith gun chonnspaid. ‘S ann air èiginn a chaidh an lagh tron phàrlamaid, agus tha mòran anns an dùthaich seo a tha gu làidir na aghaidh.

Calum is in Estonia, where a new law will extend the legal rights of marriage to people in same-sex relationships. Estonia is the first former Soviet country to do this. However the decision was not without controversy, the law only passed through Parliament on a very small majority and there was a very high-profile campaign from opponents of the act.

Tha iomadh rud a’ toirt buaidh air a’ chòmhstri eadar dà dhùthaich – an eaconamaidh, creideamh, cogadh, strì-fearainn? Ach leis an eachdraidh a tha aig a’ Phòlainn agus an Ruis, tha e a’ ruith nas doimhne na na rudan a chì thu air an uachdar. Tha an càirdeas eadar a’ Phòlainn agus an Ruis a-riamh air a bhith fo uallach, ach leis an strì a tha air a bhith a' dol anns an Ugràin, tha cùisean air a bhith buileach cugallach. Chuir an Ruis casg steach-mhalairt bidhe air a’ Phòlainn às deidh don Aonadh ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ich smachd-bhannan a bharrachd a chur oirresan. Tha Anne Lundon a’ toirt sùil air an seòrsa buaidh a tha seo a’ toirt air cùisean anns a’ Phòlainn.

Many things can affect the conflict between two countries – economy, religion, war, land ownership? But with the long history between Poland and Russia, this runs deeper than what can be seen on the surface. The relationship between these two countries has never been easy, but after the Ukrainian conflict it remains particularly tense. After the food import ban imposed by Russia on Poland, after further EU sanctions on Russia, Anne Lundon investigates the impact this is having on Poland.
