French thieves steal entire Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard	Pencurian ladang anggur
Thieves in France have broken into a vineyard and stolen an entire crop of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, say police.	Pencuri di Prancis masuk ke sebuah ladang anggur dan mencuri panenan anggur jenis Cabernet Sauvignon, demikian kata polisi.

"They used a harvesting machine to gather grapes. This means there was no need to have lots of people, two people would have been enough," Mr Cavaille told Le Parisien newspaper.	"Mereka menggunakan mesin pemanen anggur. Itu artinya mereka tidak memerlukan banyak orang untuk melakukan pemanenan, dua orang saja cukup," kata Cavaille kepada harian Le Parisien.
"The area was quite isolated, it is a a few kilometres from the village and near a river. So the thieves were able to work safely."	"Ladang itu terletak di kawasan yang cukup terpencil, beberapa kilometer dari desa terdekat dan di dekat sungai. Jadi mereka bisa mencuri dengan aman."

Athletes attacked for smoking habits	Olahragawan, panutan dan merokok
When footballer Wayne Rooney was spotted having a cigarette on several occasions during his break between the World Cup and the start of the Premier League season, there was outrage.	Ketika Wayne Rooney tertangkap basah merokok di beberapa kesempatan saat jeda libur antara akhir Piala Dunia dan dimulainya musim kompetisi Liga Primer, ia dikecam habis.
As a top-flight footballer, he is expected to treat his body with respect at all times, even during the close season.	Sebagai seorang pesepakbola profesional, ia sepertinya harus menjaga kesehatan tubuhnya tanpa terkecuali, bahkan ketika musim libur.
Rooney is not alone.	Namun Rooney tidak sendirian.
Other athletes including footballer Zinedine Zidane and basketball player Michael Jordan have all been photographed smoking.	Banyak olahragawan terkenal melakukannya. Zinedine Zidane dan pebasket Michael Jordan melakukannya.
But should they be setting a better example?	Persoalannya apakah mereka harus menghentikan kebiasaan itu untuk memberi contoh yang lebih baik karena mereka diidolakan banyak orang?
Athletic heroes	Bintang idola
Around 6% of 11-to-15 year-old pupils admit to being regular smokers, and statistics show those who start smoking before 16 find the habit hardest to break.	Sekitar 6% dari anak berusia 11 hingga 15 tahun mengaku sudah menjadi perokok dan statistik menunjukkan mereka yang merokok sebelum berusia 16 adalah yang paling sulit menghentikan kebiasaan itu.
Jean King, director of tobacco control at Cancer Research UK, said athletes, particularly footballers, are seen as heroes and that this status means they also need to be positive role models.	Jean King, direktur pengontrolan tembakau di Cancer Research UK mengatakan atlet, terutama pemain sepak bola, diidolakan dan karena statusnya mereka perlu menempatkan diri sebagai figur panutan.
"Young people are very taken with sport and there is a link with it and glamour," she said.	"Remaja sangat menyukai olahraga dan ada kaitan antara olahraga dan kemewahan," katanya.
"Some young people will start smoking because they have seen their hero smoking."	"Mereka akan mulai merokok kalau melihat idola mereka merokok."
Anna Gilmore, professor of public health at the University of Bath, agreed that athletes have a responsibility to their fan base to be "responsible role modes".	Anna Gilmore, guru besar ilmu kesehatan masyarakat di Universitas Bath, sepakat bahwa atlet mempunyai tanggung jawab kepada penggemarnya untuk menjadi panutan.
"We know that children are greatly influenced by the people around them - children growing up with parents or siblings who smoke are 90% more likely to become smokers.	"Kita tahu anak-anak itu terpengaruh oleh orang di sekeliling mereka. Penelitian membuktikan mereka yang tumbuh dengan orang tua perokok, 90% menjadi perokok."
"We also know that tobacco sponsorship of sport influences children's smoking. So any negative role modelling, including that by sports stars, could have a detrimental effect."	"Kita juga tahu bahwa sponsor pabrik rokok kepada olahraga ikut mempengaruhi anak-anak untuk merokok. Jadi panutan yang negatif, termasuk olahragawan, memiliki efek yang kurang baik."
Health impact	Tekanan lingkungan
But Simon Clark, director of the smokers' lobby group Forest, said blaming high-profile athletes for youth smoking rates was misplaced.	Namun Simon Clark, direktur kelompok lobi untuk perokok Forest, mengatakan menyalahkan olahragawan idola sebagai penyebab remaja merokok tidaklah tepat.
"Research suggests that it is mainly peer pressure and the influence of family members that encourages young people to smoke," he said.	"Penelitian membuktikan bahwa tekanan dari lingkungan pergaulan sekitar dan anggota keluargalah yang mendorong remaja untuk merokok," katanya.
"Pictures of celebrities or athletes smoking have relatively little impact.	"Foto selebriti atau olahragawan merokok tidak banyak berpengaruh."
"The responsibility for young people smoking lies primarily with those who supply tobacco to underage users. We should crack down on them and leave people like Wayne Rooney alone.	"Yang bertanggung jawab atas banyaknya remaja yang merokok adalah mereka yang memberi akses ke rokok itu sendiri. Itulah yang harus dikejar."
"Rooney and other high-profile athletes are adults. They are entitled to smoke without being targeted by the finger-waggers' alliance."	"Kalau Rooney maupun bintang idola yang lain, mereka ini orang dewasa. Mereka boleh saja merokok tanpa harus dituding bertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang di luar kekuasaannya."'

Walau ladang anggur diasuransikan, pencurian tidak termasuk dalam lindungan asuransi.

Mr Cavaille told Europe1 news he had no idea who had taken the grapes but that he was angered and surprised by the theft, as he believed there was a "degree of solidarity" between winemakers.

Cavaille sangat marah dengan peristiwa tersebut dan mengatakan tidak tahu sama sekali akan siapa yang kira-kira melakukan pencurian. Sebelumnya ia sangat mempercayai adanya rasa solidaritas antarsesama pembuat anggur.

Athletes attacked for smoking habits

Olahragawan, panutan dan merokok

When footballer Wayne Rooney was spotted having a cigarette on several occasions during his break between the World Cup and the start of the Premier League season, there was outrage.

Ketika Wayne Rooney tertangkap basah merokok di beberapa kesempatan saat jeda libur antara akhir Piala Dunia dan dimulainya musim kompetisi Liga Primer, ia dikecam habis.

As a top-flight footballer, he is expected to treat his body with respect at all times, even during the close season.

Sebagai seorang pesepakbola profesional, ia sepertinya harus menjaga kesehatan tubuhnya tanpa terkecuali, bahkan ketika musim libur.

Rooney is not alone.

Namun Rooney tidak sendirian.

Other athletes including footballer Zinedine Zidane and basketball player Michael Jordan have all been photographed smoking.

Banyak olahragawan terkenal melakukannya. Zinedine Zidane dan pebasket Michael Jordan melakukannya.

But should they be setting a better example?

Persoalannya apakah mereka harus menghentikan kebiasaan itu untuk memberi contoh yang lebih baik karena mereka diidolakan banyak orang?

Athletic heroes

Bintang idola

Around 6% of 11-to-15 year-old pupils admit to being regular smokers, and statistics show those who start smoking before 16 find the habit hardest to break.

Sekitar 6% dari anak berusia 11 hingga 15 tahun mengaku sudah menjadi perokok dan statistik menunjukkan mereka yang merokok sebelum berusia 16 adalah yang paling sulit menghentikan kebiasaan itu.

Jean King, director of tobacco control at Cancer Research UK, said athletes, particularly footballers, are seen as heroes and that this status means they also need to be positive role models.

Jean King, direktur pengontrolan tembakau di Cancer Research UK mengatakan atlet, terutama pemain sepak bola, diidolakan dan karena statusnya mereka perlu menempatkan diri sebagai figur panutan.

"Young people are very taken with sport and there is a link with it and glamour," she said.

"Remaja sangat menyukai olahraga dan ada kaitan antara olahraga dan kemewahan," katanya.

"Some young people will start smoking because they have seen their hero smoking."

"Mereka akan mulai merokok kalau melihat idola mereka merokok."

Anna Gilmore, professor of public health at the University of Bath, agreed that athletes have a responsibility to their fan base to be "responsible role modes".

Anna Gilmore, guru besar ilmu kesehatan masyarakat di Universitas Bath, sepakat bahwa atlet mempunyai tanggung jawab kepada penggemarnya untuk menjadi panutan.

"We know that children are greatly influenced by the people around them - children growing up with parents or siblings who smoke are 90% more likely to become smokers.

"Kita tahu anak-anak itu terpengaruh oleh orang di sekeliling mereka. Penelitian membuktikan mereka yang tumbuh dengan orang tua perokok, 90% menjadi perokok."

"We also know that tobacco sponsorship of sport influences children's smoking. So any negative role modelling, including that by sports stars, could have a detrimental effect."

"Kita juga tahu bahwa sponsor pabrik rokok kepada olahraga ikut mempengaruhi anak-anak untuk merokok. Jadi panutan yang negatif, termasuk olahragawan, memiliki efek yang kurang baik."

Health impact

Tekanan lingkungan

But Simon Clark, director of the smokers' lobby group Forest, said blaming high-profile athletes for youth smoking rates was misplaced.

Namun Simon Clark, direktur kelompok lobi untuk perokok Forest, mengatakan menyalahkan olahragawan idola sebagai penyebab remaja merokok tidaklah tepat.

"Research suggests that it is mainly peer pressure and the influence of family members that encourages young people to smoke," he said.

"Penelitian membuktikan bahwa tekanan dari lingkungan pergaulan sekitar dan anggota keluargalah yang mendorong remaja untuk merokok," katanya.

"Pictures of celebrities or athletes smoking have relatively little impact.

"Foto selebriti atau olahragawan merokok tidak banyak berpengaruh."

"The responsibility for young people smoking lies primarily with those who supply tobacco to underage users. We should crack down on them and leave people like Wayne Rooney alone.

"Yang bertanggung jawab atas banyaknya remaja yang merokok adalah mereka yang memberi akses ke rokok itu sendiri. Itulah yang harus dikejar."

"Rooney and other high-profile athletes are adults. They are entitled to smoke without being targeted by the finger-waggers' alliance."

"Kalau Rooney maupun bintang idola yang lain, mereka ini orang dewasa. Mereka boleh saja merokok tanpa harus dituding bertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang di luar kekuasaannya."'
