CATCHING ON: New water sport now available in Fuengirola.

Paddle board first for Fuengirola

FUENGIROLA Council is to be the first to incorporate a beach area dedicated to those who want to ‘paddle surf’. Carvajal is the first beach in Spain to have a zone especially designated for paddle boarders to get in and out of the water. This popular new sport consists of standing on a modified, and slightly heavier, surf board and using a paddle to direct it through the water; unlike surfing, the sport does not require waves.

The new activity will have an information point on the beach where it will also be possible to rent the boards and have lessons. Ana Mula, Councillor for Beaches, commented that although the paddle board beach had only been up and running for a few days, there was already considerable interest both from locals and tourists alike. Boards will be available to rent at €15 per hour.

La Tomatina de Buñol

N August 27 it will be time for the Valencia town of Buñol to celebrate its world famous Tomatina (tomato fight). This street party is celebrated on the last Wednesday in August every year and consists of a massive street fight in which the participants launch ripe tomatoes at each other in order to mark the end of the local fair. The night before the Tomatina, tons of ripe tomatoes (around 150,000) are brought into the town square in readiness for the fight. There is also free paella and a huge party carries on well into the night sometimes seamlessly connecting with the next day’s fight. All the shops and local businesses located in the

Before the tomato fight can begin, at around 10am, many locals will try to scale the Palo Jabon (a long, greased pole with a Serrano ham at the top) and as soon as someone has managed to get the leg of ham off the top, the first tomato is flung and chaos ensues. Although there are no official rules to the fight it is generally accepted that no tomatoes should be thrown at anyone’s face; apart from this one condition the fight is a freefor-all for exactly one hour and then it is all over until next year.

Busted for swindling €750,000 from woman

SWINDLED: Syrian aid scam. NATIONAL POLICE in Malaga and Sevilla have detained five people for swindling €750,000 out of one person under the guise of collecting for aid for Syria. The leader of the gang passed himself off as a high ranking minister from an oriental country and they would send their victim well-forged, official looking emails to trick her into believing them. The detained are all aged between 29 and 50 and all stand accused of belonging to a criminal organisation and swindling. Investigations began when a woman went into the police station in Marbella to make a formal complaint that she had been the victim of con artists. Police investigations revealed the methods used by the gang which, through technological manipulations with emails and their social media profiles, had made the woman believe that the head of the gang was the Prime Minister of an Eastern country. The leader then convinced the woman that if she gave €750,000 in aid to Syria his government would compensate her with €1.5 million, but that it all had to happen secretly so as

not to make a political storm between his country and its neighbours. At first the woman was sceptical but the leader managed to convince her through a series of video chats and emails.

As soon as the woman had made the deposit the gang started to avoid her calls and emails and this is when she suspected that something was not right and went to the police. At the time of their

detention two of the suspects were picking up €220,000 from a bank in Marbella and had in their possession a letter from the supposed Prime Minister to the woman thanking her for her support in the matter.

Emergency services have not reported any material losses or human injuries after the seven aftershocks which were felt in Sevilla, Huelva, Cadiz, Jaen and Malaga. The IGN (National Geography Institute) registered several small

Pool evacuated THE municipal pool had to be closed during a fire near Casabermeja so that Infoca (rural fire brigade service) could use the water to extinguish the flames. The blaze broke out on abandoned agricultural land, for reasons as yet unknown, and required the participation of two aerial support planes, a tanker lorry, 12 firefighters, a specialist group consisting of another 14 firefighters and two environmental agents. Guardia Civil officers are looking into the cause of the fire but, so far, arson is not suspected.

aftershock at 4.36pm and the last at 4.50pm registered 1.6 on the Richter Scale. In a statement released by the IGN they say that the earthquake had a depth of eight kilometres and was caused by the tectonic plate boundaries that are located just south of Spain constituting the African plate and the Eurasian plate, crashing into each other. The last time there was this much tectonic plate activity was in 2008 when a 4.7 earthquake was registered in Coripe, Cadiz. The strongest earthquake ever to hit Andalucia was in 1884 in Arenas del Rey, Granada. But, as the Richter Scale had not yet been invented, there is no record of its actual strength, just its destructive power.

SUMMER FIRES: Can get out of control easily.

Fire negligence THE Guardia Civil have charged a person with criminal negligence in the case of a fire which broke out in the inland village of Alora, Malaga. The accused had started a fire to burn off the brush on his land, but the fire got out of his control and spread to

neighbouring land and even affected a residence. Guardia Civil agents had to rescue a young woman from inside the residence who was trapped by the flames and smoke. The fire burnt through more than 6,000 square metres of wooded area affecting several properties and required the presence of the Guardia Civil, 11 fire fighters and three tanker lorries to put it out. In the summer it is strictly prohibited to burn off brush as, like in this case, the fire can easily get out of control due to the elevated temperatures.

Man detained for internet grooming NATIONAL POLICE in Mijas have detained a man under suspicion of grooming eight children over internet social media and networking sites. The suspect would pass himself off as a minor and had even created an underage-looking profile, on a well-known social networking site, from which he would contact his victims, most of them between the ages of 10 and 15. Once he had gained the trust of his victims he would ask them to send him photographs and videos of themselves in sexual poses. As soon as he received the photographs and videos he would threaten his victims with making them public unless they sent him more of the same.

The suspect, 32, spent many weeks in conversation with his victims, always through the social networking sites, gaining their trust and confidence before he would ask for pictures or videos, but once he received them he would intimidate them with threats of sending the content to their friends and family or putting it up on a public site. In this way he trapped his victims into a circle of fear. The man stands accused of corruption of minors, sexual provocation, sexual abuse of minors and dispersal of child pornography. Police investigations are ongoing as they believe there are more victims who have not yet come forward in this matter.

SS Lakonia disaster survivor visits plaque in Gibraltar DECEMBER 1963 found the world a confused and worried place; President Kennedy had been assassinated the previous month and the world’s press were focused on the who, the why and the how of the murder. A few nights before Christmas, Joe Beneveniste, a 21-year-old salon manager on board the cruise liner, SS Lakonia, had closed his salon for the night and had gone to the on board cinema for some light entertainment. A Bob Hope comedy, Call Me Bwana, was playing. The audience had barely settled down when the film came to an abrupt end as the audience were asked to make their way to the lifeboats as the ship

FATED: The SS Lakonia was on fire and order had been given to abandon ship. Joe made his way to his cabin to pack a case and fetch his lifejacket, only to find that his cabin had been looted by crew members. He arrived at the muster station to find chaos. The Lakonia had passed safety certificates in both Greece, during its refit, and a few days earlier before it had left Southampton.

As lifeboats were being lowered the davits supporting them collapsed and passengers fell into the sea. There were 1,022 passengers on board. Only nine of the lifeboats were safely launched. Seeing that there were rescue ships on the horizon, hundreds of people took the chance of surviving in the Atlantic waters and jumped. Joe was one of them.

Joe Beneveniste He spent five hours in the water and was near the end when a passenger he knew only as Tony roused him from his tiredness and kept him alive until they were both rescued.

Joe has just returned from Gibraltar where a commemorative plaque was unveiled last year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the disaster, which claimed the lives of 128 passengers and crew. The organisers had failed to find Joe in time but invited him back with his wife, Vivian, his sons and six grandchildren. Joe flew back to London on Christmas Day 1963. This was the last time he saw his rescuer, Tony. With not a stitch to his name, Joe borrowed clothes from a cousin and started to rebuild his life. Eventually he owned hairdressing salons, sandwich bars and a printers before retiring to Guadalmina 12 years ago. Having survived the Lakonia disaster, Joe continues to go on cruises. One observation he shared with Euro Weekly News was that he believes the safety issue has barely been improved in the past 50 years, as has been witnessed by the recent Concordia disaster off the coast of Italy.

The incident took place in 2012 when, according to police reports, “both victims fought each other fairly during in the course of an argument.” Both men were having a heated discussion and started hitting each other but it all ended when one man bit the other man’s ear lobe off. The man was taken to the Costa del Sol hospital where he insisted that doctors sew it back on but they were unable to do this. Before being sentenced both men waived their rights to any compensation.

Even before the feria officially started the caseta Parque Mediterraneo had to be closed down as the Local Police became aware that there were several minors drinking there. On Sunday evening, whilst they were patrolling the area, Local Police officers noticed a kiosk selling alcohol to minors and closed it down too. Last year four casetas were closed down for selling alcohol to under 18s.

SMALL SPACE: Immigrant hid under lorry for hours.

Dogs find stowaway

NATIONAL POLICE in Algeciras have rescued an immigrant who was hidden beneath a lorry. He had apparently been there for hours enduring the intense heat and bumpy ride. The rescue was possible thanks to police canine units which were searching the area. The young Moroccan man was in grave danger of heatstroke by the time the police found him. He had been stowed away in the tiny space by the axle for several hours enduring temperatures of up to 55ºC and was seriously dehydrated when the police dogs found him. Had it not been for the canine units, which are specially

trained to detect human scent, the illegal immigrant was so well hidden that he would not have been found. During the first 15 days of Operation Minerva, which concerns itself with the location and detention of immigrants who are trying to get into the country via illegal methods, 51 people have been found hiding in ‘non-traditional’ passenger spaces. The operation is being carried out in conjunction with the police forces of 17 other European countries, co-ordinated by the European Agency for Frontiers, and is mainly being concentrated on the traditional ports of entry, which are Algeciras, Ceuta and Tarifa.

Marbella taxi driver stabbed by colleague

ATTACKER: Took advantage of window being down.

A TAXI driver who attacked his colleague has been remanded in custody for attempted murder. The victim is still in the Carlos Haya hospital where he is recovering from critical wounds to his face and chest. Marbella courts have sent the perpetrator of the attack to prison on remand without possibility of bail. He stands accused of stabbing his

colleague after a fight about the taxi licence they have both shared for the last year. There were problems between the two drivers from the moment they began sharing the licence. Khalid, the victim, 41, paid his half which was â&#x201A;Ź120,000, but his colleague, the attacker, made the payment dependant on the sale of a house and so did not pay it all immediately

Local police catch bag snatcher in flagrante LOCAL POLICE in Mijas stopped and detained two men who were stealing a bag from a car parked at the scenic overlook just outside the village. Officers saw that one of the men opened the

boot of the car, looking very suspicious, and took the bag out. He was then immediately chased by a woman and so the officers stopped him before he could get into the waiting car driven by

the other detainee. The bag contained objects valued at over â&#x201A;Ź400. The two men detained, aged 46 and 39, both of Colombian nationality, stand accused of petty theft.

and this caused tension between the two of them. The victim has commented that, although things were bad between him and his colleague, he never thought it would go this far. The attack took place in the early hours of the morning when Khalid was sitting in his car, with the window down, waiting for his first passengers. The attacker took advantage of the window being down to stab him in the face. The result was a knife wound 10 centimetres long which has severed a facial nerve and could, possibly, leave part of his face paralysed. Before he could fight off his attacker Khalid suffered another few deep cuts on his face and upper chest and then a deep stab wound to his left lung. The attacker was caught at the scene of the crime.

Drink-driving suspect ‘punches policeman’ LOCAL POLICE in Malaga have detained a man for reckless driving, drunk- driving and punching the arresting officer in the face. A Local Police spokesperson has commented that the detainee’s car was veering all over the place and screeching its tyres at the traffic lights The incident took place after the detainee’s car crashed into the back of another car on Calle Isla Cristina and didn’t stop. The other driver then gave chase and caught up with the allegedly drunk driver on Calle Heroe de Sostoa and tried to block the street so the man could not escape.

Unfortunately, the alleged drunk just ploughed through the first car but made so much noise in the process that it attracted the attention of the Local Police who were in the area. Officers at the scene tried to breathtest the man but he refused on repeated occasions despite having been warned of the consequences his refusal to co-operate could bring. Eventually the man became aggressive towards the officers and tried to hit one of them. At this point he was handcuffed and arrested before being taken to a medical centre to have an alcohol test, which, again, he refused. The man, 38, has been released on bail until his case can be heard in the Malaga THE Cudeca Foundation (Spanish cancer courts. foundation) opened a shop in Malaga two He stands accused of months ago and, since then, has been four crimes: drinkinundated with donations from locals who are driving, reckless driving, keen to show their solidarity by supporting refusing to take an the sufferers of this disease and their families. alcohol test and resisting arrest.

How Spain deals with historical crime WHAT do Max Clifford and Rolf Harris have in common? They were both convicted of committing sexual offences, following a police investigation code-named Operation Yewtree, for acts that took

place decades ago. The extent of the sexual exploitation of children was un-precedented and on a national scale, according to the Metropolitan Police. Consequently, the pair

were duly tried by the English courts - under English laws - who returned guilty verdicts. But what would have happened if these sexual predators had operated in, say, Torremolinos?

Without even assessing the allegations, the surprising answer is known to most lawyers: nothing. Or, at the very most, they would have had to report to the local National Police station where they would

have denied all allegations to the duty officer - for sure without having to spend any time locked up in cells - to finally walk out just as they walked in, immune to any charges. The reason is fairly simple: the Spanish Penal Code establishes that all crimes, save for crimes against humanity and genocide, shall have a statute of limitations. As such, Article 131 states the following: 1. Felonies prescribe: • After 20 years, when the maximum punishment set for the offence is imprisonment of 15 or more years. • After 15, when the maximum punishment set by law is barring for more than 10 years, or imprison-

ment for more than 10 and less than 15 years. • After 10, when the maximum punishment set by law is imprisonment or barring for more than five years and does not exceed 10. • After five, all other felonies, except those of slander and defamation, which shall prescribe in one year. Allegations against Max Clifford had referred to the 1970s and, similarly, all others accused under Operation Yewtree would have committed their offences at least 30 years ago. In Spain, these offences would have been deemed, automatically, non-indictable and given, at the very most, the status of anecdotal.

River Park to be completed in October

ESPERANZA OÑA (in green): Visits the works with the delegate for tourism.

THE works being done on the river mouth park in Fuengirola should be completed by the end of October. Vicente Granados, the Junta’s (regional government) delegate for tourism, recently visited the park to see how the works, which have a total budget of €1.5 million, are progressing.

Fuengirola Mayor, Esperanza Oña, accompanied the delegate on his visit around the park which is being financed 70 per cent by the Junta’s Plan Qualifica and 30 per cent by the local Fuengirola Council. Granados qualified the park as a good example of what can be

achieved through the collaboration of local councils with the regional government. This second phase of the park will include children’s play parks as well as adult leisure areas and a bicycle lane along the promenade. There will also be new gardens with aromatic plants in them.

Two-year-old boy drowns in pool A TWO-YEAR-OLD boy has drowned in a private pool in Mijas Costa. The child was walking along a wall when he fell into the pool at a private residence in the El Coto urbanisation, Mijas Costa. The child’s parents got in

touch with the Local Police to declare him missing as they had not seen him for some time. Police searched the area and, in just a few minutes, found him floating in the pool of a neighbour’s house. Apparently he had

been walking along the top of the wall right next to the swimming pool. Emergency services were called but all they could do on arrival was to certify the boy’s death. No foul play is suspected by the police.

UNSTABLE VESSEL: Carried 65 immigrants from Cameroon.

More arrivals

SEVENTEEN of the 65 immigrants who arrived in Spain in the last wave of immigrant vessels are being temporarily housed in Malaga. The remainder are being taken to refugee centres in Cordoba and Jerez. Francisco Cansino, head coordinator of the Malaga CEAR (Spanish Commission for Immigrant Aid), has commented that another eight could be arriving in Malaga soon. The majority of the immigrants in the last wave were from Cameroon and there were at least four minors aboard as well as several pregnant women.

Cansino said that they were all in reasonably good health and, as Cameroon had had no incidences of Ebola fever, that they were not worried about medical screening. Cansino explained that the Malaga CEAR centre could only accept a maximum of 63 people and that with the arrival of the next eight there would be no more room. Once immigrants arrive at the CEAR they can stay between three and six months - many of them leave early depending on their contacts in the country.

Barbarism and cruelty to cats in Estepona THERE has been unwarranted cruelty against animals, reported by individuals and local residents, in the following areas of Estepona: the bullring and surrounding urbanisations, Ronda en el Mar, Tres Banderas, Vista Africa, Viviendas del Sol and other apartment blocks. A new animal charity Gatos y Amigos, with the moral support of the town hall and the police, is carrying out a neutering programme on the feral cats as well as the abandoned ones which are found everywhere in the town. This is proving to be a great help in controlling the reproduction of these animals. The charity Gatos y Amigos will not tolerate this behaviour and will report any individual or urbanisation ill-treating cats or abusing them. The areas will be denounced to SEPRONA (Guardia Civil Nature Protection Unit) as a breach of Law 11/2003 which allows the delinquent parties to be prosecuted.

STREET CATS: Must be protected from cruelty. Over 15 neutered cats around the above mentioned areas of the town have been found in the last year with varying degrees of injury, (veterinary evidence is available) some close to death, they are: broken legs, serious internal and external injuries caused by beating or kicking, loss of tails and eyes, suspected use of traps and snares, being shot by ‘toy’ guns and poisoning. This is not new: the same

problems of abuse and cruelty were reported a few months ago by another well-established charity about the ill treatment of tame cats in the streets of Estepona such as lethal kicking to the point of eviscerating a kitten.

Hola Credito simplifies car buying BUYING and selling cars can be a complete pain, and managing the budget whilst getting the car you want can be difficult. For one Hola Credito client a short term bridging loan enabled them to manage the process without losing the car they wanted. The client said: “We wanted to change our main car, and after many family arguments had found one that really met all our needs. However, first we had to sell our own car, and our buyer just couldn’t complete the sale at the right time - there was a two week delay.” The client contacted Hola Credito to see if it would be able to help. The company prides itself on offering very flexible short term loans on people’s assets, and loans can be for as little as 14 days. As the client only needed the bridging loan for two weeks, Hola Credito offered the perfect solution.

The company calculates interest daily, so clients only pay interest for the time they need the loan. “It was great,” said the client. “I contacted the company by email, and asked if I could use some of my wife’s jewellery as security, sending some pictures of the pieces. Once the loan was agreed as we live in Sevilla, I used a secure courier to send it to Hola Credito, and the next day we bought our new car.” Hola Credito (www.holacredito.com) operates throughout the whole of Spain, and accepts a range of luxury assets as security for loans, including watches, jewellery, luxury cars and boats. All items are stored in safe, secure conditions by the company, and once the loan is repaid the items are returned using the same discreet, secure process.

Benefits scam network uncovered in Malaga NATIONAL POLICE in Malaga have detained 39 people and uncovered a network of businesses which was defrauding the social security. The fraud has generated a debt of more than €260,000 to the Treasurer General of the Social Security. The companies would make fictitious contracts for workers in return for cash, usually around €600, so that the fake employees could then ask for unemployment subsidies and other grants. Among the 39 detainees is the person who the police believe to be the

mastermind of the operation. Investigations have revealed that the mastermind of the scam was responsible for creating as many as 11 different businesses, some of which were real and some totally fake, through which fake employees would be passed in order for them to claim benefits. On many occasions the employing company could also ask for extra government benefits for having employed people who had been without work for more than six months, anyone who had not been in work before or people over the age of 45 etc.

Guests evacuated in massive hotel fire AN Almuñecar hotel had to be evacuated due to a massive fire. The flames scorched one of the halls and caused extensive damage but fortunately no human lives were lost. The alarm was raised at 4.15am last Friday when a call was made to the 112 emergency phone number reporting that a roaring fire had started at Hotel Carmen on Avenida Europa next to Parque El Majuelo in Almuñecar. Three firefighters arrived on the scene to extinguish the flames, but had to call for reinforcements given the scale of the blaze. Local Police and Guardia Civil were also deployed. Firefighters ordered hotel guests to evacuate the premises and battled the flames for nearly two hours.

HOTEL CARMEN: Hall was extensively damaged. “We realised the fire was actually concentrated in a 300-square-metre hall, so we put it out through the windows. It took us 40 minutes to bring it under control but almost two hours to extinguish it,” one firefighter told the media. Hotel guests were allowed to return to their rooms later, though some had to be attended to for smoke inhalation.

“Fortunately, nobody was hurt and it was just a big scare,” said hotel spokesperson Manolo Campos. The smoke spread to the hallways and the hotel will now have to determine how much it will cost to repair the damage, said Campos. Although the exact cause of the blaze is yet to be determined, the hotel is not ruling out any possibilities.

Spain calls for tougher stance on illegal immigration SPAIN urged Brussels to take a tougher stance on illegal immigration. Spanish President Mariano Rajoy called for a clear and effective European Union policy on illegal immigration while emphasising the difficult situation

his government has faced in recent days following massive attempts by sub-Saharan immigrants to illegally enter Spanish soil. Rajoy held a brief press conference in northwestern Spain where he expressed his wish for

Italy to be at the forefront of an effective policy to combat illegal immigration and help those wishing to return to their countries of origin. Spain is currently experiencing a massive wave of illegal immigration. As many as 750

immigrants tried to enter Spanish territory on Tuesday by climbing over the border fence in Melilla while more than 299 undocumented people were rescued last week in the Strait of Gibraltar trying to reach Spain aboard 31 flimsy dinghies.

THERE have been more arrests in an ongoing case in which police uncovered a money laundering web using training schemes as a cover to get grants from the government. There were no courses and no students. The police investigation into the alleged fraud concluded the 10,671 students they interviewed had not been on the training courses they had been signed up for.

Police interviewed a selection of hundreds of students, signed up for three different courses with Ucotrans in Madrid, without finding even one who had actually done the course or signed up for a course. Alfonso Tezanos and Victor Porta, both from Madrid, and Jose Luis Aneri, from Cordoba, are all in prison provisionally for alleged fraud. Aneri is the administrator of Sinergia

which is the company responsible for acquiring the funds from Madrid. Tezanos was with the Chamber of Commerce in Madrid and was a partner in companies offering allegedly false courses. It is estimated a total of â&#x201A;Ź4.5 million was obtained illegally from state funds and another â&#x201A;Ź4.4 million from regional funds all funnelled through 30 companies in Madrid.

The boats were intercepted by the Guardia Civil and several Spain-flagged rescue vessels. All immigrants were taken to Puerto de Tarifa in Cadiz, where the Red Cross attended to them. In an effort to stop subSaharan immigrants from storming the MelillaMorocco border, Moroccan authorities made plans in May to install a five-metre high wall topped with razor wire along the border. However, human rights organisations denounced the plans saying Morocco had already begun building the barrier without public consultation. The Government of Morocco failed to inform the Parliament and public institutions of their plans to avoid public outrage, said Head of Rif Association for Human Rights Chakib al Khayari.

The good news is…

HE good news is that Spain would appear to be firmly on the road to recovery. Along with the UK, economic growth rates are amongst the highest in the Western World. A rise in GDP of 0.6 per cent in the first quarter beat all forecasts for Spain and is significantly above the shock 0 per cent and -0.2 per cent figures shown by France and Germany respectively. The UK is steaming ahead with 0.8 per cent growth. But, worryingly for Spain, the UK is in a significantly better position for the simple reason that it controls its own currency. The UK can do whatever it wants to control its monetary policy. Spain on the other hand is tied into the Euro. Thus it has to follow European policy. That has so far been seen to serve the best interests of the two largest European mainland

economies - France and Germany. Overall the Euro has probably been a good thing for Spain, although those who remember the steep price rises when it was first introduced may beg to differ. Let us hope the Spanish recovery is not hampered by policies designed to protect the two ‘senior’ members of the European club at the cost of the smaller countries.

A sad farewell ROBIN WILLIAMS was a genius of comedy, who will best be remembered for his films like Mrs Doubtfire. A genuinely funny man who kept the world in laughter, he was also a deeply talented actor with a string of hits in serious roles. He will be fondly remembered by most for his jokes, and deeply respected by fellow actors for his talent. May he rest in peace.

REFUGEE: Hopefully waiting at the fence.

More asylum needed HALF of all immigrants who manage to get over the fence in Ceuta and Melilla are refugees, but only 10 per cent of them receive asylum in Spain. According to a report recently released by the Spanish Commission for Refugee Aid (CEAR) around half of the immigrants who come over the fences come from war-torn countries and should be given asylum in Spain although only around 10 per cent of them actually receive it. CEAR has presented a campaign to collect 100,000 signatures with which to ask the government to take away the concertinaed barbed wire from the top of the fence and to respect human rights. CEAR explains that refugees “are people

who never expected to have to leave their countries and ask for asylum in order to preserve their lives and physical safety.” Carlos Berzosa, president of CEAR, has claimed that the government is trying to make out that jumping the fence is a recent problem in order to justify its “repressive methods,” when in actual fact this has always happened at that border. He goes on to say that only 5 per cent of illegal immigrants come in through the fences in Ceuta and Melilla - the rest come in through airports, roads and trains. Meanwhile Spanish president, Mariano Rajoy, is asking the UE for more guidelines on what is to be done about the immigrant situation.

A victory for police in Barbate MORE than 50 people have been detained in a huge drugs operation in the La Janda area of Cadiz. Among the detainees is an officer of the Guardia Civil, a Local Police officer, a former councillor for the PSOE with the Paradas council and a number of local entrepreneurs. As a result of the surveillance stage of the operation, raids were carried out on several bars in Barbate, Zahara de los Atunes, Zahora and Los Caños. These raids produced 56 detentions, several thousand kilos of hashish and several hundred grams of high grade cocaine - all prepared in baggies for sale on the streets. The judicial respon-sibility in this case falls to the town of Barbate and could be a long and complicated case

ARRESTED: More than 50 were caught in the bust. due to the high level of organisation of the gang involved and the sheer number of detainees. For the moment all the detainees

are on remand until their cases can be heard. Police investigations into the matter are ongoing.

A call for inspections to check up on cheats WHEN it comes to working in the black economy, construction, manufacturing, shops, the catering sector and transport are some of the most persistent offenders. Those who are most often paid ‘in the black’ and hide earnings from the authorities include car mechanics, hairdressers, cab drivers, agricultural workers and cleaners, a professional association claimed. These findings were recently revealed in a survey carried out for OPA, Spain’s national federation of professionals and selfemployed workers. The submerged economy is as harmful to those who meticulously fulfil their fiscal obligations

as it is to the national economy, OPA maintained. The economic crisis, corruption, high taxes, unpaid debts and the high unemployment rate are the principal reasons behind the flourishing submerged economy, said OPA president Camilo Abietar. He called on the public administration to step up inspections to eradicate the parallel system although controls needed to be carried out with an even hand, he warned. They should not focus on criminalising professionals and the selfemployed, Abietar stressed, as the majority operated legitimately and met all their legal obligations.

The energy company employs approximately 1,200 staff at seven power plants throughout Spain and its 33,000 kilometre-network distributes to 688,000 users.

The power grid is expected to be one of E.ON’s most appealing resources, as investors want the stable, guaranteed returns plus low interest rates provided by regulated energy assets, insiders revealed. Endesa decided to make a bid after its Italian parent company Enel announced that it intended to hive off its Latin American assets and would seek new opportunities inside Spain.

Reheated Cold War cools exports of fruit and veg SPANISH exporters are not reassured by the Spanish government’s ‘keep calm’ policy regarding Russian sanctions. The restrictions were Vladimir Putin’s response to earlier sanctions imposed by the West after a passenger aircraft was shot down over Ukraine by pro-Russian fighters. According to Spain’s Ministry of Agriculture, Spain stands to lose €337 million in lost exports, although the European Commission places this at €338 million. Miguel Blanco president of COAG, coordinator of Spain’s growers and farmers, believes the figure is closer to €1.2 billion. “It’s not only direct exports of around €340 million

EXPORTED FRUIT: Andalucia and the Valencian Community will feel the greatest impact. that are affected by the Russian embargo,” Blanco said. “We’re talking about €1.2 billion that will be indirectly affected too.” According to the Spanish government, the effects of the Russian embargo will be limited. Although Brussels places Spain sixth behind Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Holland and Denmark as the most affected, there are 16 EU countries that will lose more than Spain, the government insisted. Spain exports goods totalling an annual €234 billion, it claimed, and the lost turnover from Russia will amount to

Over-fishing sanctions for Spain and nine others THE European Commission sanctioned Spain for exceeding fishing quotas in 2013. To balance last year’s overfishing the EC has discounted 555 tons from this year’s total allocation. Species include cod, halibut, haddock, sole, lobster and pollack. “If we want to be serious in our fight against over-fishing we need to apply our rules by the book, and that includes respecting quotas,” said Maria Damanaki, EU Commissioner for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. Not only Spain is affected by the sanctions, but also Denmark, the UK, France, Belgium, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and

only 0.14 per cent of the total. Limited or not, Agriculture minister Isabel Garcia Tejerina has asked Brussels to take urgent measures to ensure that the market is not flooded with unsold produce destined for Russia. Andalucia and the Valencian Community, which export fruit and vegetables year-round to Russia, expect to feel the greatest impact. Cataluña will also be affected, principally through seasonal exports of peaches, nectarines and plums. The winner here is Latin America which has happily and hastily stepped into the breach left by EU exporters, to the displeasure of Brussels. They have been asked to reconsider their newly-signed contracts.

Portugal. In those cases where sanctioned countries have already landed their quotas for this year, the EC will reduce the allocation for another stock in the same geographical area. Despite overfishing by these countries, sanctions fell by 22 per cent compared with last year. Overall, they had done “a good job” in easing the pressure on Europe’s overfished waters, Damanaki said. The EC estimates that three-quarters of European stocks are at risk and in May 2013, EU members agreed to end decades of depletion in order to boost diminishing stocks by up to 15 million tons by 2020.

EUREKA! There is no off season in the UK DESPITE it being the peak of the high season trade was quiet. The restaurant’s owners were shoulder-shrugging philosophical about it. Hardly alone, hundreds of similar eateries and related businesses are in a similar situation. Sure their counterparts scattered along the busy frontline esplanades are busier. However, all things being relative, their higher costs will equal things out over the course of the year. If there are empty tables in mid-August tourist hotspots what chance for the rest of the year? I passionately believe Costa barrestaurant turnover could easily be multiplied many times over. I do have the answers. The problem is that whilst everyone agrees, no one has the courage to break from the herd. The most unpopular person in the office is

the new manager who says, ‘I am going to change everything here.’ Let’s go to England to see if we can find the answers there. Duh! Is that sensible? England and for that matter, Dublin in Ireland and Riga in Latvia are high priced, cool and often rainy. Yet, disconcertingly these cities, which do compete with Spain for tourism, don’t seem to have an off season. Whenever I visit, whatever the weather, the bars and restaurants are busy. In Bristol and Liverpool it is still

necessary to book a restaurant table, be prepared to wait or be turned away. I will tell you what it is; they offer real variety. I swear there is a bigger and much more varied choice of restaurants in a moderately sized English city than there is along the entire Mediterranean coast of Spain. Furthermore, the service is far better as is the quality of atmosphere and food. Here, if you have seen any two restaurants you have seen them all. The choice is Blackpool type 1960s era tin-table cafés or Spanish ambience restaurants; take it or leave it. Karaoke musical fare is as tediously unimaginative as the fare on the plate. I cannot think of a single atmospheric exotic ambience wine bar that invites a smart dress code. In England I was spoiled for choice.

Spain’s public debt rockets to €1 trillion SPAIN’S public debt soared to a whopping €1 trillion. According to data released by Banco de España, the Spanish public debt rocketed to just over €1 trillion or 98.4 per cent of GDP. The Government estimates the debt levels could increase before the end of the year to as much as 99.5 per cent of GDP. Spain’s debt has actually tripled since the outbreak of the economic crisis from 36.3 per cent of GDP in 2007 to almost 100 per cent in 2014. Most of the debt was incurred by the Central Government (84.5 per cent of Spain’s gross domestic product), followed by the Autonomous Communities (21.7 per cent of GDP) and the local councils (4 per cent). These levels are some of the highest seen in modern times.

IT’S often said it’s the little things that count. And when it comes to saving or getting out of debt this could not be truer. The other day I heard about a mobile phone app that takes this idea of ‘little things’ and elevates it into a savings reality. Basically the idea is that every time a person is tempted to buy a treat during the day or purchase something that is not really very necessary, the app allows for the money to be

Can Endesa penalise him? Q. . I have a holiday apartment I use for a month each year. Since 2002 I have You and the paid my bill every two months for Endesa Law in Spain standing charges and any power used. By David Searl In 2013 I noticed a large jump in the Endesa debit. The average fee for two months had been about €50 but it jumped to €100. I saw there was a penalisation fee for an ICP. I went to the Endesa office with a photo of my fuseboard. I was told the penalisation would stop from that date. However, I am confused as to what right Endesa had to penalise me. I would like to get this refunded as I knew nothing about it. R.C. (Costa del Sol) A. Well, you somehow missed the warnings sent to consumers in 2012. The ICP is an Interruptor de Control de Potencia, and it is required by law on all electrical installations as of two years ago. It protects your system from overuse and assures that you do not consume more electricity than you have contracted at any one time. We suppose that the photograph showed that in fact you now have an ICP installed, but never informed the company. And, yes, Endesa has the right to put the surcharge on your bill. That is, unless you can prove that you were never notified. Send your questions for David Searl through lawyers Ubeda-Retana & Associates in Fuengirola at Ask@lawtaxspain.com, or call 952 667 090.

of a sudden we walk out with a new nail polish and lipstick. The point of the app is that every time we find ourselves in this position , the app gives the option of transferring that money directly to a savings account. Instead of spending €4 on an impulse

nail polish, the option is available to put that €4 into a savings account. What I like about an app like this is it makes it easy to see how we waste money throughout the day and allows for a sense of satisfaction by providing the opportunity to resist temptation and save.

When we control our urge to spend and start to see money building up in a savings account it really does offer a sense of fulfilment and give us ambition to keep saving. Unfortunately this app is currently just available for Nationwide customers in the UK. Perhaps Spanish banks will pick up on the trend shortly, but in the meantime, with a little bit of discipline we could do the same ourselves. While it’s a little more time consuming, we could in theory restrain from buying unnecessary treats throughout the day and then tot up how much we would have potentially spent. Then, simply transfer this money into a savings account via internet banking.

Lefties leftovers to be Inditex main course INDITEX, whose Zara brand made Amancio Ortega the world’s third-richest man, is going online with Lefties. This is Inditex’s low-cost range of Zara models left over from the previous season. It is already present in 100 shops in Spain and Portugal and the group plans to take on H & M and Primark by launching Lefties as a label in its own right, with its own collection and a new image. Unavailable online until now, it makes its internet debut tomorrow, August 22. The company is committed to internet commerce, the current Inditex chairman Pablo Isla declared recently. This is an important part of its multi-channel strategy of coordinating increased retail space with

expanded online sales. The group continues to see huge growth opportunities in different markets, Isla told the last shareholders’ meeting in July. “There are ample prospects of growth in all areas of Europe while the US is very attractive,” Isla said. There are few clues as to Lefties’ current profitability as the group has never supplied separate breakdown of Lefties results, which until now have been included in Zara’s. Nor does Inditex make a habit of revealing its strategies regarding brands or stores to shareholders or the media. Nevertheless the new Lefties strategy began to take shape on August 1 with two new stores on the outskirts of Moscow and a third in the St Petersburg suburbs. The company has also declined to disclose whether there are ONLY 1.1 per cent of the 176,715 selfconcerns regarding the sanctions employed who ceased business in the imposed by the EU on Russia, first quarter of this year requested where Zara and eight other unemployment benefit. It was eventually Inditex fashion labels are sold in granted to only 531 applicants. more than 400 stores.

OPINION & COMMENT

Scruffy beards that need a trim infecting society DURING the last five or 10 years we’ve witnessed a contagious fad amongst Spanish men of all ages. They grow beards so dishevelled and multi-coloured that many of these untidy bramble bushes resemble an explosion in a silo. Beginning with many of our not-so-prestigious political leaders, with their whiskers of diverse shades of black, white, grey and brown, we now discover that the epidemic has spread. It infects almost all Spanish males, young or old, the common denominator being that almost none of these recently-converted fadfollowers take the time or effort to trim or care for them. Is it due to simple laziness or sloth? I realise that this gripe of mine (and also my Valencian wife’s) is not one of our major problems in crisis-ridden Spain, but if we look around to observe the males of other Western nations, we readily notice that hardly any of them (young or old, famous or not) wear beards. Those few beards that exist are well-trimmed and of one colour. Richard M.McBride, Benidorm (Alicante)

In the dark AS a long term resident of Artola Alta I see the same circus every year. Most of the time the main street is in total darkness and suddenly when the tourists are here and the IBI is due, the lights miraculously work perfectly. Of course, with no lights in the street the area is a magnet for petty crime and break-ins are so frequent they have become commonplace. The day after the direct debit has gone through your bank account the lights go off. Now is that coincidence or is that perfect ‘Urban Planning?’ Paul R Ballard (by email)

Think again I ASSUME that the article entitled ‘Pensioner saved from mountain’ was written by someone in their twenties. ‘Elderly’ is not a term to use for a person of 62 years of age, its meaning being someone who is approaching old age. Most people in current employment in the UK, who I’m sure do not consider themselves elderly, will have to work until they’re 70 to receive their pensions. Expat retirees whose spending keeps Spain alive comprise 50 per cent of many local Spanish communities, so I would suggest that you reconsider the use of this adjective. Nick Duncan (by email)

Workings out I WILL start by assuming that Leapy Lee classes all people from the Middle East as Arabs. The main numerical system used in all mathematical exercises is based on the Arabic set of numerals, without which mathematics would be unintelligible and unuseable. The previous most used numeral system was the Roman system in which mathematics is impossible. For example is X 10 or is it the symbol for multiplication? Or simply try to add ii to ii on paper or without converting it to the Arabic numerals to complete the task. Jim (by email)

Oil interests WE have to recognise that the Muslims have had good reasons to despise the West. From the Crusades to the 20th century the Western world has treated them with disdain and contempt even after oil was discovered. Thus the Americans and European powers have interfered time and time again with countries in the Middle East and in North Africa, wanting to install regimes that would be favourable to the West and to its oil interests. It is a pity that the West did not have the self respect to go without the wretched oil from those areas of the world. Sadly, Muslims can also see the decadence of the Western world, with its corruption, permissiveness, greed, immorality and appalling standards of dress. They did have a high civilisation, notably in Moorish Spain, without which the European Renaissance might not have occurred. After that, I agree with Leapy Lee: one cannot think of a single thing which they have produced or invented for the benefit, progress or happiness of mankind in the last 500 years. Yet because of the oil money they can reap the benefits of all the tremendous achievements of the Western world (and Asia). We should get out of all their countries. PJ Owen (by email)

No bargain I’M indifferent to Looky-Looky men and have never paid out for any of their wares, but have to comment on an assertion by last week’s Your Say correspondent, Richard Franklyn. He appears to believe that they charge €15 for ‘perfect’ polo shirts that would otherwise cost €85. These vendors are peddling inferior copies blown together in sweatshops on the other side of the world. They have no claim to perfection and probably aren’t even worth €15 although possibly Richard Franklyn doesn’t know the difference. Flora Simmons (by email)

OPINION & COMMENT

Troops needed on the streets of Britain LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

AKE no mistake, war is, as we speak, licking its lips and savouring the taste of death and destruction at the very borders of the UK, and indeed a number of other European communities. The enemy is everywhere. Never mind Iraq, Afghanistan and so forth, we need to look much closer to home for the true threat from Islamist militants. When some apparently slight and no doubt orchestrated incident sparks it off, rioting and war will erupt on the streets of the UK in a way unprecedented in our history, and to my mind it’s a great deal closer than we think. We should be preparing for it now. We will of course ultimately win, but the cost will depend totally on the extent of our preparation. If we are ill-prepared and still allow human rights, political correctness and all that rubbish to influence our decisions, we will be condemning even more of our citizens to

We need to be training up an elitist band of some 100,000 troops, fully experienced in close combat and street-fighting.

Getting insurance shouldn’t be complicated, even in Spain...

MANY people arrive in Spain not knowing anything about the way insurance works here and how it differs from the UK. They also don’t realise that the majority of companies will accept their UK no claims bonus which makes a huge difference to the price when insuring your first car here in Spain. Wendy Codd from EU Insurance Direct has been in Spain for nine years and has heard the majority of stories up and down the coast from people who are given different or conflicting information. Also the procedure to follow in the event of a claim shouldn’t be complicated, if you know how! If you go onto their website www.euinsurancedirect.com there is a page full of FAQ (frequently asked questions)

where you will find useful information and a downloadable European Accident Claim Form in English. From humble beginnings in August 2005, EU Insurance Direct opened its doors to offer refreshingly uncomplicated advice and policies for expats. Advice in English and all home and car policies in English with English Customer Services and Claims make the procedure much easier for expats to deal with. EU Insurance has always tried to give impartial advice on the types of insurance available and to offer the most competitive quotes available depending upon your own personal circumstances. What are the key items you need to keep with you in your car?

MAKING IT EASY: Wendy Codd from EU Insurance Direct. • Driving licence • Registration documentation (Fiche Tecnica and Permiso de Circulation if Spanish registration or V5 if UK) • ITV paperwork • Insurance papers, proof of payment and European Accident Form • Spare pair of glasses if you

wear them • 2 x Orange triangles which should be kept in the boot of the car • At least 2 reflective jackets (should be enough for all passengers, really) and kept in the inside of the car • Pen • Emergency breakdown

numbers in case of an emergency. Whilst not obligatory, EU recommends that you have a fire extinguisher and First Aid kit in the car and possibly bottles of water. Pets also have to be in a caged area at the back of the car. No use of the phone (even hands free) is allowed whilst driving, neither is eating nor drinking (even water), all considered an offence as is throwing a cigarette butt out of the window if you are a smoker. Flip-flops also not allowed as they are considered a hazard when driving. With a little bit of thought and also some time to familiarise yourself with the procedures can only make driving in Spain much simpler.

For all insurance services and advice in English call EU Insurance Direct on 0034 952830843/0034 676098464 or visit their website on www.euinsurancedirect.com or email info@euinsurancedirect.com.

Three o’clock clinic with Splash

URING the summer months you may be experiencing all sorts of problems with your pool which Splash Pools can help you with. A common one is the bottom of your pool turns green and the water looks murky even though the chlorine level is high. This is usually caused by a high cyanuric level in the water. Cyanuric acid is an additive in chlorine tablets that prevents the chlorine from being broken down by the sun’s ultra violet rays. The downside is that it builds up in the pool and the chlorine becomes less effective – resulting in you needing to use more chlorine to oxidise the urea/algae. The only way to lower the cyanuric level is to change some of your water. This does not relate to salt water pools as they have to add cyanuric acid in order for the chlorine (made by the

FULL SERVICE: For anything to do with pools, Splash Pools are there to help.

salt water chlorinator) to be effective. Splash Pools hold a clinic every afternoon at 3pm when you can bring a small sample of your pool (freshly

taken) and have it analysed. They can then tell you what action to take for your particular pool problem. If you cannot come at 3pm please call them on 952 591 053 and they will be

Then we prioritise the work they need so they can make decisions and move at a pace that suits them, building their confidence all the way along to having a great smile. “We also really enjoy looking after our junior clients...we help them to feel safe, to understand exactly what is going on, to give them a positive experience and to educate them about dental care in a positive interesting way.” The clinic is open 10am - 6pm Monday to Thursday and - 10am - 2pm - Fridays.

Ultimune: latest beauty product how good is it? SHISEIDO, Japan’s most famous cosmetic brand, has launched a new product on the European market, Ultimune: power infusing concentrate, but what is it composed of and how good is it? The main ingredients, as stated on the packaging, are Damascus rose oil, Ginko Biloba, Perilla frutescens (similar to nettles), Thymus Serpyllium (of the thyme family) and vitamin E - as well as a lot of alcohol. The thymus helps skin to hydrate and is a natural disinfectant, the perilla can have anti-inflammatory properties and the ginko is a topical anti-oxidant but the fact remains that there is nothing very new here and the main ingredient seems to be alcohol. The manufacturers are recommending that Ultimune be used before a serum as a sort of preparatory serum which leaves users with the question of why bother?

DAMASCUS ROSE: Together with a lot of alcohol make up the new product.

The true story of a smoker THIS is a story of a female smoker who had been smoking more than 30 a day for 30 years. At the age of 45 she had decided it was likely she would go to her grave as a smoker and that like most other smokers it was going to be prematurely. Particularly as her husband was also a smoker and worse still he was under the impression that he enjoyed smoking. The couple lived here on the Costa and spent a certain amount of time watching English TV. An article on the Richard & Judy Show reported on a new method of quitting the habit that instead of being a nicotine replacement method, such as Nicorette gum or patches, or some sort of chemical that one swallowed that possibly gave suicidal tendencies, or hypnotherapy that seems to have a very low success rate, this was a medically proven, non-invasive smoking cessation therapy Richard & Judy said gave a 90 per cent success rate. There was equally positive coverage that

evening on BBC News which interviewed two sceptical journalists who’d had the treatment and agreed it had actually removed the addiction instead of trying to replace it. The couple made contact with the company in London that had treated these journalists, and decided that having tried every other method, this was going to be their final attempt to quit so they agreed to go ahead and fly to the UK. On leaving the clinic, he felt less inclined to smoke than she, but to their amazement, within 24 hours neither had any desire to smoke at all. They felt this was something that all smokers should at least try, although the cost of the therapy plus the flights was likely to make it less than inviting and so ‘Stop Smoking In Spain’ was born! Carol the lady in this story and now the proprietor said: “It’s been nine years now and lo and behold most clients are

introduced by word of mouth, which is a lovely way for me to run a business, particularly one that also unquestionably saves lives.” As for the cost? Well the therapy has been available in places like Harley Street, London for some time but at a cost! Typically between £295 and £395. Stop Smoking In Spain have been providing the exact same therapy for nearly nine years and for a limited

period at a far more affordable €125. And even better, for a short time they will even give you a FREE home visit. For a free information pack call Carol now on 649 123 238 (text if you wish and I will be happy to call back) or email moreinfo@stopsmokingins pain.com, or visit the very informative website www.stopsmokinginspain. com which has all the BBC News and Richard & Judy videos….plus more!

Avoid corn syrup, it’s not healthy CORN syrup is high in fructose and one of those ingredients which is slowly creeping into almost everything on the supermarket shelves which is making it very difficult to avoid but, for health reasons, it really must be avoided. Corn syrup is marketed as a natural ingredient, which it is, and this leads people to believe it has no health hazards when, in reality, it is much worse for humans than the sugar which it is replacing. In a study published in 2013 researchers concluded that countries which had allowed this

syrup to be used freely in all products had a higher incidence of diabetes (around 20 per cent more) than countries which controlled its availability. In another study six out of 10 animals which were fed on corn syrup developed liver cancer within the first few months of eating it. The same study showed that a diet which was high in corn syrup would produce oxidisation, inflammation, metabolic changes and DNA damage. From a health point of view, it really must be avoided.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended. LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on. SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction. . CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Just imagine for one day that you have achieved everything your heart has desired. When you wake up in the morning believe it is so. Feel how your spirits lift and your heart sings. Carry that feeling through the week and beyond. If you believe that you are a success you can be. Why stop when it feels so good?

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK: Make this week to build on friendships and stimulate relationships. Busy as you are, at the end of the day, your well-being is tied up with those close to you. Money is not everything. August 21: Usain Bolt, 28. Olympian. This record-breaking sprinter became the first man to win six gold medals, for sprinting, in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games, his high school cricket coach originally persuaded him to take up track. August 22: Tori Amos, 51. Singer. This American singer has had hits like A Sorta Fairytale and Blood Roses. She has been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards. August 23: Kobe Bryant, 36. Basketball player. This legendary shooting guard helped the Los Angeles Lakers win three straight NBA championships from 2000 to 2002. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance? Maybe you are thinking that a recent acquaintance will be able to provide it. You ran something by a few friends and they are not so sure. That is because this is a situation where you need an expert, not a well-wisher. Best not to waste your time and jangle your nerves. Get that expert even if it costs a few pennies.

SET against the backdrop of the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Pompeii follows the plight of gladiator Milo who is swept off his feet by the gorgeous and sweet Cassia, daughter of a well-to-do merchant who is to marry a powerful and vengeful Roman senator. When the volcano erupts spreading panic and terror, Milo must track down the woman he loves and save her from the clutches of the corrupt Roman. Stars Kit Harington, Emily Browning and Kiefer Sutherland. Pompeii has a run time of 104 minutes and is rated 12A.

ARENAS

August 26: Jorge Sanz. Film actor. This Spanish actor made his screen debut in 1979 with La Miel by Pedro Maso and has since gone on to become one of the most prolific Spanish actors of modern times with more than 60 films under his belt so far. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something. Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities. .

August 24: Rupert Grint, 26. Film actor. British actor who won a Young Artist Award for Most Promising Young Newcomer for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films. He has also starred in Driving Lessons and Cherrybomb.

THE TOP TEN WORST MAN EATERS IN HISTORY The majority of predatory animals can, and do, see us as prey under the right circumstances, however true maneaters are animals which prefer human flesh to any other food. Instances are rare but they do exist. Here are the top 10 in recent history. 1. The lions of Njombe This was an entire pride of lions which seemed to prefer the taste of human flesh over anything else. In 1932, in Tanzania, a large pride of lions went on a brutal killing spree and are reputed to have killed at least 1,500 people. In order to put an end to the killings George Rushby, a famed hunter, killed 15 of the pride and the rest then dispersed. 2. Two toed Tom This huge, male American alligator roamed the swamps of Alabama and Florida in the 1920’s, he had lost all but two toes on his left ‘hand’ which got him his nickname. Tom killed mainly women who went to the riverside to wash their clothes, but he would kill anyone who came close. Many attempts were made on his life by many methods including bullets, dynamite and poison, but his death was never confirmed. 3. Kesagake This Japanese Brown Bear terrorised the town of Sankebetsu, Japan, for several months in 1915 when he would frequently enter the town and kill its people, mainly children. A bear hunter was

Man with a dark secret BOOKS books@euroweeklynews.com

A spy thriller set against the background of the Middle East conflict between the PLO and Israel in the mid 1970’s. Patrick Braun is a Commercial Diving Superintendent, but he is also a man with a dark secret. His past catches up with him after a lapse of 20 years when his name appears on an IRA suspect list and he comes to the attention of

three intelligence agencies: MI6, in London; Mossad in Tel Aviv and the PLO in Damascus. Lured into the world of espionage and intrigue by the beautiful Samiha, Patrick agrees to train a group of PLO saboteurs, who plan to blow up an Israeli ship carrying a nuclear trigger mechanism. The action moves swiftly between England, Bahrain,

sea or close to the shore, it seemed that the sharks could not get enough human flesh to sink their teeth into. The attacks were blamed on a school of Great Whites that were seen in the area but, as they were never caught, nobody could be sure. 5. The bear of Mysore Although this Sloth Bear was not a man eater he was a man killer. Sloth bears maul their victims to death but rarely eat them. The bear of Mysore, India, terrified the entire village for months and is reputed to have killed around 12 victims by mauling and then leaving them to bleed to death.

6. The beast of Gevauden This mysterious animal terrorised the French village of Gevauden from 1764 to 1767. Some claimed that it was an unusually large wolf but it was never properly identified. The creature ignored livestock and killed only humans, in total around 115 human kills were attributed to the beast. 7. The ghost and the darkness These two lions went on a killing spree in the Kenyan province of Tsavo while the British were trying to build a railway bridge in the area. They decimated the tent villages that had sprung up and nobody really knows how many deaths they are responsible for, but estimates are at around 150 people. 8. The Panar leopard This large male leopard lived in the Kumaon area of India in the early 20th century and is reputed to have killed more than 400 people and is the second most prolific man eater in recorded history. 9. France This Bengal tigress terrorised the Champawat region of Nepal in the 19th century so much that the national army was called out to deal with her. She racked up 436 recorded victims - nobody knows the real body count. 10. Gustave This African Nile crocodile is currently terrorising the conflictridden country of Burundi and has already registered more than 300 kills. This crocodile is reputed to kill for fun, not just for food, as he often leaves his victims half eaten by the side of the river.

From Ireland to Iberia - a tale of Lisa and Jackie By Lamia Walker of HousesitMatch LISA has two cats and lives in Dublin. However, her work takes her to the Far East, Italy and the Iberian Peninsula coordinating spiritual tours for adventurous travellers. Recently her business took off and she needed a regular petsitter she could trust with her cats. But how to find a reliable sitter? Within minutes an online search identified a housesitting network and a potential sitter in Jackie, an empty nester based near Dublin in Navan, who has had cats and recently redundant has time on her hands. Jackie wants to build her own business designing jewellery. They connected online and agreed to meet in person WHAT does that really mean? Many think that it is like a peanut allergy or anything else that causes an acute reaction in the form of hives, itchiness, swelling, difficulty breathing and so on. Most food allergies develop over time. Proteins and carbohydrates are the biggest offenders. Additives and E-numbers can also cause allergy. A pet that is fed the same food or food with the same ingredients can over a period of time from six months to three years develop an allergy to these ingredients.

They liked each other and wrote an agree-ment describing: how often Lisa could call on Jackie’s services; that Lisa would stay in the flat occasionally for security to make it appear occupied; she would visit the cats daily, working there for a couple of hours as company for the cats.

MANY of you will believe that our dogs have the same feelings and emotions as humans and that they understand our language, this is a mistaken belief. Dogs do understand our body language but are unable to understand our emotions. Dogs are not small, furclad human beings they are canines even though they show loyalty and devotion to the hand that feeds them. Dogs live totally in the present. They do not worry about the past and do not dream about the future.

They are not endowed with imagination or feel grief, hate, jealousy or greed or other emotions that bedevil human society. They do have a high sensory ability which is often mistaken for a kind of sixth sense. They will

understand whether your tone of voice and your facial expressions are good or bad when you are talking to them, in whatever language, but they will not understand longer phrases than commands like sit, stay and get down. A good example is when we believe our dog is sulking or when a dog pines over the death of a member of the family. The dog will be feeling the loss

DOGGY LANGUAGE: Understands short commands.

general itchiness. Very often more predominant around the face and the anal area, but it can involve the whole body. The

of a member of the family. It will also be confused by the vibrations of distress it picks up from the family when there are arguments. Once the family has settled down, the dog will make a quick recovery, for it lives in the present and not in the past. Do not attribute dogs with human emotions. Try, instead, to understand their simple canine minds, which are untroubled by so many of our emotions. By the way my Boy Boy is nearly human. For your local radio frequency log onto www.talkradioeurope.com

diagnosis of food allergy and finding the responsible factor is quite challenging. Blood tests are disputable and elimination diets take a

long time and dedication. The treatment would be to change to a hypo or an allergenic food which either does not contain the

ingredients that cause the allergy or contains ingredients that have been hydrolyzed. Home-made food might be the only way. Nazli’s Pointer Veterinary Clinic Estepona Tel: 952 804 165.

Not every fish is suitable to be eaten raw in sushi or sashimi THINK you can use any kind of fish for sushi or sashimi? Well think again. Yes, nearly every fish is edible, but that does not mean every single one is edible raw, thus making it unsuitable for sushi. Some of the classic fish species used in sushi include tuna, salmon, yellowtail, flounder, squid, gizzard shad, mackerel, sea bass, sea bream and snapper. More often than not it is perfectly safe to use any farmed fish from the UK, Norway, New

these strict

standards regarding cleanliness and you are

very unlikely to find parasites in their farmed fish, not even if you buy trout or sturgeon. Sushi chefs recommend that all the seafood sushi lovers decide to eat raw be previously frozen, because it is safer that way. Even sushi chefs freeze their salmon first, because it is incredibly susceptible to parasites.

Sushi-grade fish are caught quickly, bled and gutted upon capture and iced thoroughly. Some sushi lovers may even decide to catch their own fish and eat them raw in a nice rice roll, but they would be well-advised to bleed the fish by slicing through the gills and to gut it right on the boat, because most worms living in fish live in their guts and migrate to the flesh once the fish has died. However this can be prevented with fast gutting.

Foolproof technique for peeling your potatoes PEELING a potato can be incredibly tedious because of how long it can take, but it does not have to be any more. Sometimes people just need to think outside the box, even when cooking. So why not try something different? The secret to quickly peeling a potato lies in just reversing the process. Do not peel the potatoes before boiling them, but after you have boiled them. Next time you need peeled potatoes for that special dish, place them still unpeeled into a pot and cover them with enough water. Bring them to a boil and then simmer them until they can be easily pierced by a fork. Plunge the cooked potatoes into a large bowl with really cold water - add ice cubes, for instance - until they are cool to the touch. And here PEELING POTATOES: Can be done simply.

is the trick: twist them as if you were wringing out a towel and the skin will just slide right off. Why does this simple trick work? Simply because going from hot boiling water to ice water releases the skin from the flesh and makes it extremely easy to peel. This foolproof technique works for just about any potato on the market.

The dos and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ts of Japanese table manners JAPANESE culture is famous for its complex system of social rules and conventions, especially when it comes to eating and drinking. Make sure to follow these hints if you ever find yourself dining with Japanese friends or colleagues. In Japan it is considered rude for a guest to pour himself or herself a drink. Instead of grabbing the bottle and helping yourself to the sake, wait for your drinking partner to pour you a drink. You can then reciprocate by pouring his or hers. When attending a social gathering or an elegant banquet, do not ever take a sip until every single guest has a glass, raises it and says kampai! (Japanese for cheers). It is very common for Japanese people to share dishes of food at the table instead of serving each guest his or her own individual dish. Westerners may find this unusual and awkward at first but remember that it is a different culture. When sharing dishes with other people at the table, move part of the food

DRINKING ETIQUETTE: Your drinking partner will pour you a drink.

onto your own plate with the opposite end of the chopsticks. After you are done eating, move all your dishes to the position they were before the meal started and do not forget to put the chopsticks back into their paper slip. Just like in many countries around

the world, it is considered extremely impolite to burp and blow oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose at the table, but the Japanese will even be more offended if guests do not empty their dishes to the last grain of rice, as they are likely to think the meal was just not good enough.

Keep your apple slices from browning HAVE you ever wondered how to keep sliced apples from browning? It is rather easy. If you are planning on serving a dish which includes sliced or diced apples, or any other fruit for that matter, chances are the exposed flesh of the cut fruit will brown over time because of oxidation. While nobody has ever died from oxidation, the truth is that it is not enticing or visually appealing.

To slow down oxidation, soak the apple slices in a large bowl with cold lemonwater. Try using one tablespoon of lemon juice per cup of water. In less than 10 minutes, the citric acid will work its magic. It also works if you squeeze some lemon juice directly onto the slices, but do not forget to dilute it first so to avoid a strong lemony

The rise of Llaollao frozen natural yoghurt a healthy alternative to full fat ice cream FROZEN, natural yoghurt is fast becoming the viable alternative to an ice cream on a hot summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. There are shops popping up all over the

place and they are doing well despite having arrived in Spain right at the beginning of the recession. Their appeal is simple - they

present a healthy alternative to full fat ice cream and they taste just as good, with no acidity and lots of sweetness. Pedro Espinosa, president of

Llaollao (large frozen yoghurt franchise), commented that when he and his son opened their first frozen yoghurt shop in Denia they never thought

Tips for the perfect Black Forest cake NO cake on Earth is more delicious than the heavenly enticing black forest cake. Invented by the German pastry chef Josef Keller in 1915, it may take a few attempts to get this exquisite dessert just right, but it is no rocket science either. Here are a few simple tips for the perfect black forest cake. Some recipes call for making the cherry filling with brandy, but the truth is you can use rum or kirsch, since their flavours also complement the dark chocolate. Do not forget to prepare the cherries that will be used for the filling the night before baking and

decorating the cake. And it is also a great idea to soak the fruit in brandy or rum overnight to infuse them with the flavour of liquor. German chefs recommend refrigerating the block of chocolate overnight before baking the cake and making the shavings the night before. It is also better to wait until the last minute before preparing the whipped cream because it is very perishable and freshest right after it is prepared. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that the flavour is even better when it is kept in the fridge for at least six or eight hours.

that it would become such a big business in such a short time. Espinosa went on to comment that within one month of his opening the shop in Denia there were already copycat shops in Barcelona and Madrid. In his opinion the attraction is the health aspect as many Europeans are becoming more aware of the need to eat better and live a healthier lifestyle. They also want to snack more healthily and frozen yoghurt fits this gap perfectly. According to fans of frozen yoghurt the main attraction is that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even taste of yoghurt and it is a light snack - whereas an ice cream can feel a little heavy in the stomach, yoghurt is the lighter alternative.

It’s just a waiting game THE PSOE party secretary general Pedro Sanchez revealed that he will run in the primaries for the party’s presidential candidate. No-one fell over backwards in surprise at the revelation as presumably this is why Sanchez became secretary general in the first place. His position also gives him the upper hand in deciding when to hold the primaries. These were promised for November although this is becoming increasingly unlikely. The proposed Cataluña referendum could add a touch of colour to whatever happens afterwards and there are municipal and regional elections in 2015 to provide more colour still. They will also reveal whether Podemos, the populist group headed by muchtelevised Pablo Iglesias, is the fourth, third or - heaven forfend - second most-voted party. Better to delay primaries until the party and Sanchez know whether or not they are on a hiding to nowhere.

Turn again Whittington ANA BOTELLA, mayor of Madrid also makes no bones about wanting to

repeat as the PP’s 2015 candidate. In the old days she would probably have got her way on the strength of being the wife of former president Jose Maria Aznar. But Aznar, who has revealed a maverick streak ever since he shaved off his moustache and started working out, has not hesitated to criticise the party’s current leadership. Botella is less of a trump card in today’s PP, although if she were popular with Madrileños, she might be in with a chance. But she isn’t and she hasn’t.

looking the other way,” they told a French interviewer. Thanks to social media and rolling news, the world today can look anywhere it wants but still filters what it sees through personal perceptions, preconceptions and misconceptions. Even then, not everyone looks in the direction they are pointed at and particularly the one chosen by Rafael Muñoz and Angel.

Voting with their feet

Following directions TWO young Spaniards, Rafael Muñoz and Angel, are in eastern Ukraine with the pro-Russian militia. They now belong to the Vostok Batallion, accused by the Kiev government of most of the worst atrocities in the conflict. Facebook and YouTube show the two young men with guns and a Spanish republican flag bearing the ‘No pasaran’ slogan that was the rallying call of the dying republic which ended on April 1, 1939.

FEWER people are signing up for the Diada demonstration in Barcelona on Cataluña’s national day, September 11. They plan to fill two streets, forming a giant V shape representing their desire to vote in an independence referendum. Registrations to participate are 76 per cent lower than last year’s Diada when demonstrators formed a human chain from the north to the south of the region. If they are saying something then the message is coming through loud and clear.

This summer get a grilling over the barbie of gobbledygook

N the course of our working lives, we’ve all come across prime examples of people totally out of their depth but who get by and are promoted purely by being able to talk the talk. In other words, they excel at management-speak gobbledygook, a major source of irritation and barrier to procuring new business in Britain according to a recent survey. And it’s too often used by those who are incapable of managing and so hide behind buzz words and clichés to mask the fact they haven’t a clue what they’re talking about. The language of business like that of education and politics - seems deliberately designed to confuse. And, of course, if you don't understand, you can’t constructively criticise because someone will - rightly and smugly - tell you that you

simply don’t ‘get it!’ A friend worked for a company where they’d regularly say, ‘Let’s take this offline’ which completely confused him at first. Turns out this meant ‘stop talking about it.’ In fact, what they really meant was either: “I haven’t the faintest idea what you’re talking about so can we talk about this in private so I don’t have to look a right idiot in front of others” or, more commonly: “No, I haven’t

done what you asked, but the last thing I want is to let on to a room full of people I screwed up.” Another friend’s former secondary school converted to an academy. Its new mission statement doesn’t mention boys, girls or students but

‘stakeholders.’ Stakeholders are defined as ‘citizens’ of the school. And citizens, in turn, are members of the ‘[School’s name] family.’ Heck! Aren’t stakeholders those things you come across throughout the summer here in Spain - at barbecues? And clichés beloved of our

politicians? How about: Hardworking families. Fairness. Onenation. Transparency. Or: “We had a frank exchange of views, and a constructive dialogue on which we now have the basis to move forward, and I am very much looking forward to our next meeting in the light of this progress.’ So, ‘let’s think outside the box,’ ‘run it up and down the flagpole’ and ‘touch base.’ Phew!

Oh yes, but back to the original point: maybe no-one really knows what they’re talking about any more… Nora Johnson’s thrillers ‘Retribution’, ‘Soul Stealer’, ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.com) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.89; £0.77) and iBookstore.

Apartment terraces need attention to be attractive outdoor living spaces

Dick Handscombe

Gardening Corner By Spain’s best known expatriate gardening author living in Spain for 25 years.

ell at last we have a cool day and it’s been a joy to do some midday tidying up in the garden and on ground level and first floor terraces. Also this morning it was noticeable, in town, that more people than recently were actively caring for plants on apartment terraces and adding various artefacts to bare walls, to make the terraces more attractive outdoor living spaces. Yet it is still amazing that probably 80 per cent of apartment terraces are totally underutilised for outdoor living. In the bible for apartment dwellers ‘Apartment gardening Mediterranean style’ we include check lists of the main season by season tasks organised into six groups. These are flowering plants, evergreen plants, herbs, fruit growing, vegetable growing and other. For instance the top nine tasks for late summer are as follows. 1. Keep up the daily watering and every few days mist spray the leaves. 2. Regularly deadhead flowering plants as flowers die. 3. Keep plants in shape by pruning straggly growth. 4. If herb plants grow large, trim off the excess growth and hang up the prunings as bunches or in

woven plastic net bags. 5. As the days shorten and become a few degrees cooler, cut back the extent of watering to avoid the rotting of trunks and roots.

6. Take cuttings of perennials and succulents to produce new plants to inexpensively increase the density of your groups of plants.

7. Prune fruit trees and vines to shape. 8. Lightly dust the leaves and fruits of fruit vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, beans and courgettes etc.) to reduce the chance of mildew damaging them. 9. Spray fruit trees monthly with a neem (3-5 ml per litre) and propolis (3-5 ml per litre) water spray against possible insect and fungal spore attacks. What is encouraging is that Russian expats are now seeking out our books including ‘Apartment Gardening - Mediterranean style’. The latter not just by apartment dwellers but also by villa dwellers who have extensive terraces with groups of containers of various sizes. Four possible designs for apartment terraces are illustrated clockwise from

top left by photographs from the book. The first is a colourful and restful eating terrace just outside the kitchen door. A wide variety of artefacts are used as well as plants. The awning protects plants from the low winter sun more than the summer sun. The second is a smallish succulent surrounded terrace with an awning

that can be opened out which is great for enjoying the sun and evening eating with the chair folded up and a table opened up. Thirdly this patio in the sky, surrounded by neighbouring apartments with undeveloped terraces, creates all year round colourful perfumed greenery among tower blocks for the owners. The fourth shows a productive one square metre of a terrace. Fifteen varieties of vegetables could be harvested at the same time. Hopefully such ideas will stimulate more apartment growers to improve the use of their apartments and at the same time brighten up their apartment block and overall urban area.

Changes to the structure of community fees RECENT changes to the Law of Horizontal Property, the law that governs all communities in Spain, have affected the way or rather the amount some owners may have to pay in community fees. Owners must still pay community fees according to the agreements reached by their community and although the division of community fees can vary from community to community, by law they still have to be paid regardless of an owner’s opinion on the subject. A common exception to this rule is when a charge has been introduced which is quite high compared to an owner’s normal monthly community fee. More importantly, it must be for an item, facility, service or repair which is considered not essential to the normal everyday running, maintenance or safety of the community. The charge will automatically fall into one of two categories; either it exceeds three times an owner’s normal monthly community fee or it doesn’t. When a charge is more than three times an owner’s monthly community fee and is for a non-essential cost, then the owner can choose to opt out and not pay, for example, for a new swimming pool, nice but not essential. If the charge is less than three times an owner’s normal monthly community fee then the owner has to pay it, regardless of whether it is for something essential or not. For example, some new plants, nice, not essential but probably not expensive enough to fall into the first category. When the charge is clearly for an essential item, maintenance, service or repair, then regardless of whether it is higher or lower than three times the normal monthly community fee, all the owners have to pay. For example, lighting,

lift or roof repairs. If an owner disagrees then they have the option to engage a solicitor and a procurator and take the community to court and have a judge decide. It is not enough, as is often thought, for an owner to write a letter to the community saying they will not pay or simply not pay, the judge is the one who decides who pays what. In the case where an owner does not contribute to the cost of a non-essential item or service and the owner can be denied the use of it, e.g. a swimming pool, the owner has the option to reinstate themselves without prejudice at any time, by simply paying their up-to-date portion of the cost. To summarise; if a new community charge is quite high, possibly for a luxury item, then probably individual owners do have the possibility to opt out and not pay. When it is for an essential item or situation necessary for the proper running of the community they do not have that option and must pay. And finally when the new charge is not significantly high, i.e. less than three times an owner’s monthly community fee then it simply has to be paid. As usual we the solicitors for the Intercala Administration strongly advise all the readers of our monthly article to seek proper advice in all matters concerning the law.

For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

Sharing costs is way to go

www.euroweeklynews.com

AS the sheer expense of car development and manufacture keeps spiralling upwards, sharing costs and overheads (known as synergies) between major manufacturers is seen by many as the way forward. Leading the way is the RenaultNissan Alliance which posted record synergies of €2.87 billion in 2013, up from €2.69 billion the previous year. Purchasing, powertrain and vehicle engineering remained the biggest contributors as the Alliance geared up for the launch of its first Common Module Family (CMF) vehicles. Purchasing, which is jointly managed by Renault-Nissan Purchasing Organisation (RNPO), generated €1.036 billion in synergies. Vehicle engineering, which relates to common platforms and components, accounted for €714 million.

The co-development and exchange of powertrains accounted for €525 million. Synergies are derived from cost reductions, cost avoidance and revenue increases. Only new synergies - not cumulative synergies - are taken into account each year. Synergies help both Renault and Nissan meet performance objectives and, significantly, enable the car makers to deliver higher value vehicles to customers around the world. CMF is the Alliance’s unique system of modular architecture shared between the manufacturers’ cars and an increasing source of synergies. CMF enables Renault and Nissan to build a wide range of vehicles from a smaller pool of parts, while at the same time increasing customer

choice and quality. Small vehicles are based on CMF-A, while mid-sized vehicles are CMF-B, and the largest vehicles are CMF-C/D. In November 2013, Nissan began selling its first vehicle on CMF in the United States; the new Rogue sports utility vehicle is built on CMF-C/D. The following month, Nissan began selling the X-Trail crossover SUV in Japan, also based on CMF-C/D. In February, Nissan began selling the Qashqai crossover in Europe. The first model based on CMF at Renault will be the replacement for the Espace, which will debut in 2015 on CMF-C/D. In 2013, the Alliance also began development work on CMF-A, the most affordable category of cars. Production of CMF-A vehicles will begin in 2015 at the Renault-Nissan Alliance plant in Chennai, India.

THIS weekend we have the Malaysian Open squash championship, the World Triathlon championships, the British Grand Prix Athletics meeting in Birmingham and action in the Premiership and football leagues on Monday (August 25) the US Open tennis tournament begins at Flushing Meadows, and on Sunday F1 returns with the Belgium Grand Prix at Spa.

MOTOGP: Spain’s Marc Marquez’s 10-race winning streak comes to an end. FOOTBALL - After a break of 97 days, it was back to Premiership action for 20 clubs last weekend... and perhaps the surprise was Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat by Swansea - the first time the Reds have

lost at home on the first day since 1972. Elsewhere in the top flight there were late winners for Arsenal, 21 v Crystal Palace, Spurs 1-0 at West Ham and Liverpool 2-1 v Southampton while Manchester City won 2-0

at Newcastle and it was Burnley 1 Chelsea 3 on Monday. ATHLETICS - Great Britain won 23 medals at the recent European Championships in Zurich, Switzerland. The recipients of a record 12 golden

gongs were Mo Farah (two in the 5,000m and 10,000m... following his two triumphs at the Olympics - will it be a World double soon?), James Dasaolu (100m), Adam Gemili (200m), Martyn Rooney (400m),

Greg Rutherford (long jump), Jo Pavey (aged 40, 10,000m), Tiffany Porter (100m hurdles), Eilidh Child (400m hurdles), the men’s and women’s 4 x 100m relay teams and the men’s 4 x 400m quartet. Will Sharman (110m

MOTOGP - The 10-race winning run of Spain’s Marc Marquez came to an end last weekend in the Czech Republic. He finished in fourth place behind fellow countryman Dani Pedrosa (1st), Jorge Lorenzo (2nd) and Valentino Rossi (3rd). CRICKET - England (486 - Joe Root 149 not out) thrashed India (148 and 94) by an innings and

244 runs in the final Test to clinch the series 3-1. Root is only the third Englishman, behind Wally Hammond (1938-39) and Peter May (1955), to score fifties in every game of a five-match Test series. And Rangana Herath has become the first left-arm bowler to take nine wickets in a Test match, doing so for Sri Lanka v Pakistan. He finished with 9-127. SHORTS: * 24 players were sentoff in last weekend’s football matches with Kyle Naughton (Spurs) the first Premiership red card. * Luis Suarez can now train with his Barcelona team-mates and also play for Uruguay but must wait until October 26 before making his La Liga debut, against Real Madrid.

* Five players have decided to retire from international football since Brazil 2014: Germans Miroslav Klose, Philipp Lahm and Per Mertesacker, Franck Ribery (France) and Steven Gerrard (Liverpool). Together they won 549 full caps with Klose collecting a record 137 for his country. * Roger Federer knocked out Andy Murray on his way to the final of the Cincinnati Masters where he defeated Spain’s David Ferrer in three sets. * GB’s Kell Brook beat Shawn Porter to become IBF Welterweight champion. * And England’s women beat Canada 21-9 in Paris to win rugby’s World Cup or the first time in 20 years.
