Basques around the world

Kaixo Basque friends:

We have got lots of news this weekend, but before we go through the activity on our facebook group, just one reminder…

The Basque media group EITB has launched a new TV program called Euskadi Directo where they would like to offer a voice to all the Basque people all around the world, so this Facebook group is one of the best places to do it.

In Euskadi Directo, they would love to show the audience what the Basques outside the Basque Country, or their descendants, do every day, how their lives are, what their connection to the Basque Country is…. In short, to bring you closer to the people in the Basque Country.

For that reason, they would love to receive small videos from you. It does not have to be anything professional, any video recorded with webcam, camera or mobile photo will do. Just record a small video telling us things about you.

For the videos, just upload them on youtube and send the link to euskadidirecto@eitb.com. You can also send the photos to the same email address.

And this weekend on the Basque Country, we had someone visiting.. a cyclone or “perfect storm” that brought gusts of wind up to 200 km/h…It swept past the Basque Country and reached France, where at least 15 people were killed.

Apart from that, breaking news was also the arrest of three suspected members of ETA in France, including the suspected leader of the armed group.

Bizkaia Bilbao Basket defeated Lagun Aro GBC on Sunday and won the Basque derby and Caja Laboral fell at Gran Canaria.

And last, but not least important, a research led by a Canadian university exonerated the Basque whalers and proved that they were not responsible for the extinction of  a whale species in the Bay of Labrador.

Well, this was all for today… I hope you are enjoying your weekend
