ETA count is a bad metric; knowing ETA's been changed doesn't tell you whether it's been increased or decreased, or by what amount, or how often it is changing.
Consider instead a one-to-many relationship between the table ETA is currently in, and a table of ETA estimates.
The table of ETA estimates would have a foreign key to the id of the row in the current table, an estimate, and a timestamp indicating when the estimate was made.

Zapatero said the attack had made him more determined than ever to end Eta’s nearly four-decade campaign of violence aimed at achieving an independent Basque homeland, but he announced no new strategy or even a hint of what his next move would be.
