Back up By Joe Gerrard REINFORCEMENTS from Guardia Civil forces across Spain have been arriving in Algeciras to bolster local efforts to deal with rising crime and general activity in the Campo Gibraltar area this summer. A total of 56 officers arrived in the town on Monday. They came from the Guardia Civil’s maritime, tax, environment, civil protection and judicial units. Officers have begun gearing up for Operations Crossing the Strait and Summer
which aim to manage increasing traffic to and from Morocco and rising numbers of tourists from elsewhere. The reinforcements also come as authorities pledged to tackle rising cases of drugs being trafficked across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Algeciras Guardia Civil currently has a total of 162 officers on hand for operations across the Campo Gibraltar. They have been supplied with bulletproof vests and have been armed with customised weapons, the first
force in Spain to have the latter. Police sources said the number of reinforcements was exceptional for this time of year. Alfonso Rodriguez Gomez de Celis, the Spanish government’s representative in Andalucia, said the reinforcements were part of “necessary measures” to tackle crimes such as drug trafficking. The official added around €7 million in funding had been made available for both technical and human resources.
MORE POLICE: Reinforcements arrived last Monday. Celis denied claims made by some critics of the Guardia Civil that the ongoing migration situation was leading to drugs trafficking cases being ignored. “Not a single investigation into drug trafficking has been affected by migration,” the official said. The reinforcements come as police officers gathered in La Linea de la Concep-
cion to demonstrate in solidarity with colleagues working on drugs cases and to demand wage increases.

Parents’ tribute By Matt Ford THE parents of an Irish girl who drowned in a Costa del Sol swimming pool have paid tribute to their ‘tiny Wonder Woman.’ It comes after four-year-old Georgia Anne Callan drowned at a rented villa on Calle San Joaquin, just off Marbella’s Golden Mile. The youngster from Ardclough, Co Kildare, is believed to have climbed out of a paddling pool before falling into the adult pool. One of the victim’s parents was with her at the time and well-placed sources said she was briefly distracted while talking with other adults who are believed to be friends. They are understood to have been coming to the end of a month-long family holiday when the tragedy struck. The alarm was raised at 10.30 in the morning on Saturday July 28, but medics were unable to resuscitate her.

TRAGEDY: Georgia Anne Callan died after falling into a swimming pool. Mums Emeline Callan and Jacqueline Russell said in a statement they are “devastated by her loss.” They added: “Georgia was our own tiny Wonder Woman.
“A happy, playful, brave, gentle and funny girl, she loved nothing more than making new friends and wearing princess dresses everywhere. “Georgia loved everyone,
and her pets were amongst her dearest friends. “She sought beauty, goodness and fun wherever she was. She brought immense joy to our lives and to the lives of everyone who knew her. “We love her deeply. We will miss her more than we can say. We are devastated by her loss. “We ask that you respect our privacy, and the privacy of our family and friends at this incredibly difficult and sad time.” The family thanked the police, medics, and Irish Embassy staff for ‘their professionalism, support and care.’ Georgia’s funeral took place last Friday and mourners were asked to ‘dress cheerfully’ in a bid to ensure her ‘bright, sparkling personality lives on.’ Spanish police have confirmed they are treating the death as accidental.

Baby body probe call
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 27
GUARDIA CIVIL officers have appealed for information over the remains of a newborn baby found at a rubbish dump in the Casares area of Malaga City. Police said the body, which was found last month by a site worker in the plant’s treatment area, appeared to be male and European.
Ride fine A MALAGA CITY court has fined a defendant €480 who was convicted of traffic offences over the riding of a mobility scooter. The 67-year-old was caught driving the Scooter XL at speeds of no more than 15 kilometres per hour on the MA-21 motorway near Puente de la Azucarera earlier this year.
Drugs haul NATIONAL POLICE officers have seized more than half a ton of cocaine, 130 blocks of hashish and marihuana worth a total of €34 million in Alhaurin de la Torre. Officers arrested five people, including four Dutch nationals, in connection with the haul some of which was allegedly disguised as foodstuffs.
Tourist stats THE number of British tourists holidaying on the Costa del Sol this summer is expected to be 7.4 per cent less compared to last year, according to data. The decline comes as regional tourist board figures estimated there would be more Finnish, Polish and French tourists visiting between June and September this year.
PARTY TIME: The Fiesta Mayor de Gracia began in the 1800’s.
Streets in colour THIS is Barcelona, but not as you know it. Iakov Filimonov’s picture shows one of the city’s streets decked out in glorious colour bunting for its annual Fiesta Mayor de Gracia in 2015. This year’s edition kicked off yesterday (Wednesday). The festival, which includes concerts, dances and model displays, pays homage to the Catalan capital’s Gracia district. The area was once a town until Barcelona incorporated it in 1897. The fiesta has been used to assert the district’s identity since the early 19th century. Local monks chose to throw a festival on August 15, the day of the assumption of the Virgin Mary, after a
convent was demolished in 1812. When Gracia briefly became an independent entity with its own town hall in 1850 it adopted the celebration as an annual event. The decking of streets in a variety of multicoloured styles also began around this time. The festival took on a rebellious nature during the dictatorship of Francisco France who attempted to repress Catalan culture. Fiesta goers used it as a means to demonstrate against his regime. It began to fall out of fashion in the 1970’s until Cataluña’s regional government declared it a festival of national interest in 1997.
Six held OFFICERS in Torremolinos, Benalmadena and Malaga City have arrested six people in connection with a gang allegedly responsible for a spate of robberies in those areas. Several items including an unspecified amount of cash, jewellery and weapons were seized as part of the probe and the suspects have been brought before the courts.
Call figures EMERGENCY SERVICES personnel in Malaga Province took a total of 1,193 calls from 3.00pm last Friday to midnight last Sunday. Statistics for the 112 line, from the Ministry of Justice, showed the single most called about issue was health at 543 incidents, followed by alleged crimes at 289 and traffic incidents at 104.
Identity case reopens A COURT has ordered an investigation be reopened into a man cleared last year of stealing the identity of a 25-year-old and claiming to have HIV over evidence concerns. Malaga’s Provincial Court said it was not satisfied with the alibi of the man who was reported to authorities in October 2016 before the case was shelved in 2017. Justices said they may possibly need to co-operate with authorities in Colombia due to the defendant
claiming someone from the country he had met on social media was responsible. The courts provisionally dismissed the case last year. The alleged victim’s lawyer filed an appeal but the court turned it down. The Third Section of the Provincial Court has now said all avenues in the previous probe were not exhausted in violation of Spain’s criminal procedure rules. It has instructed Judicial Police to act on the matter.

EWN online this week UNPUBLISHED: Hemingway’s (inset) book is set in the Paris Ritz hotel.
Story surfaces AN unpublished short story from American author Ernest Hemingway about life in Paris after the Second World War is set to be released for the first time. A Room on the Garden Side was written in 1956. The author, who spent much of his life in Spain as well as France, talks about his affection for both countries through the story’s narrator and main character, Robert. “I loved France and Spain next to my own country. I loved other countries too but the debt was paid and I thought that the account was closed, not knowing the accounts are never closed,” Robert says. The story has until now only been seen by a handful of scholars and academics. It sees characters debating ‘the dirty trade of war’ in one of Hemingway’s favourite haunts, the Paris Ritz hotel. Andrew F Gulli, an editor at Strand which is publishing the short story, said in a note introducing the work that Hemingway was paying homage to Paris in it. “Hemingway’s deep love for his favourite city as it just emerging from Nazi occupation is
on full display, as are the hallmarks of his prose,” Strand said. The author sent the story along with several others to his publisher Charles Scibner Jr and told him they were ‘a little shocking’ due to their themes of war. ‘Anyway, you can always publish them after I’m dead,’ he said in a note to Scribner. War and travel were prominent themes in many of Hemingway’s books. The Sun Also Rises, one of his first successes, centres on the protagonist Jake Barnes and his friends who journey to Pamplona to witness the Running of the Bulls. Hemingway lived in various places across Spain in the 1930’s. He travelled to Madrid in 1937 following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War the previous year to make The Spanish Earth, a documentary about the Republican war effort. The experience went on to inspire Hemingway’s novel For Whom The Bell Tolls. The story follows an American volunteer named Robert Jordan who is sent behind fascist lines near Segovia to fight with Republican guerrillas.

MONICA CRUZ, younger sister of Hollywood star Penelope, turned heads in a bright yellow swimsuit when she soaked up the rays in Zahara De Los Atunes, Spain, last weekend. The actress, 41, guaranteed that all eyes were on her in the eye-catching one-piece, which complemented her bronzed complexion perfectly. Monica looked stunning in the simple yet stylish swimwear as she reclined on the sand to top up her tan. The beautiful star’s figure-hugging swimsuit showed off her hourglass physique and cleavage thanks to its low-cut neckline. The Spanish siren went make-up free for her beach outing, and her natural beauty was there for all to see. Monica made the decision to have a child alone in 2013, using an anonymous sperm donor, saying: “It was not a decision I took on a whim, it was five years in the making.”

Car blaze
Illegal renters warned ILLEGAL holiday lets in Spain are being found out by police due to the large number of towels on balconies. Whistle-blowers in tourist hot spots across the country are turning up at council offices and dishing the dirt on private homeowners, who often don’t pay tax on the ‘black market’ rentals. Under new rules, owners of flats and villas must get a licence to rent out their homes or face hefty fines. In the Balearics, permanent residents of apartment blocks have been told to report any neighbour who is il-
legally renting out their home. In July, 28 flats in Ibiza were officially reported and more are expected to follow due to an increase in police inspectors who are hot on the trail of any leads. Warnings are in place to all homeowners across Spain who are considering renting out their homes - which are seen as unfair competition to hotels - without a licence. Getting caught would mean having to withdraw the property from the market and could mean facing a fine of up to €40,000 with reductions for early payment.

House data CAR BLAZE: The fire happened last Sunday. FIREFIGHTERS in Marbella were called out to put out a blaze that engulfed a car in the Puerto Banus area last Sunday. The blaze happened at around 8pm while four people were in the car on the road near to the port of the area, which is popular with holidaymakers. Firefighters extinguished it shortly after it broke out. Those inside were able to get out of the car without injuries, according to Marbella’s mayor Angeles Muñoz. Muñoz said on Twitter that
she was grateful for the quick response from firefighters in putting out the blaze. She added authorities had now moved the car off the road. One theory on the cause of the fire was reportedly said to be that the car’s battery had overheated. This has not yet been confirmed. Local Police cordoned off the area while firefighters tackled the blaze. Witnesses reported hearing explosions, one of which left a 24-year-old woman with an ear
injury according to emergency services, who added a 50-yearold man was also hurt. Both were treated at the scene. A video posted to Facebook showed onlookers and police officers watching on as flames spread across the car. The column of smoke was visible from other parts of Puerto Banus, witnesses said. Those inside the car were reportedly not Spanish, but their nationalities were unknown in immediate reports after the blaze.

Public pampering
GROSS: Appalled passers-by witness woman shaving legs from drinking fountain.
By Tara Rippin A SHAMELESS woman has been caught on camera shaving her legs in a public drinking fountain in a Malaga park. The brazen female was snapped hoisting her leg onto the top of the marble feature before proceeding to meticulously remove any unwanted hairs. And according to the disgusted British tourist who papped her, the barefoot
woman occasionally stopped to check that she was doing a good job. Clearly unconcerned about the health consequences of her stomach-churning actions, she continued with her personal pampering despite turning the heads of stunned passers-by. And according to British tourist Jason Wills, who took a video of the gross spectacle, things got even more sickening when moments after she walked away, oblivious people
were seen drinking from the fountain. Speaking to a British newspaper, he said: “I was walking along in Parque de Malaga when I decided to take a rest next to the water fountain. Luckily I’d brought my own water and decided not to use it. “I sat on the bench to people watch when a woman approached the fountain and just started shaving her legs. It was disgusting. I wasn’t in the qui-
etest part of the park, more like the main path walking through it.” The holidaymaker added: “I didn’t get my camera out in time but she actually cut herself and was washing the blood into the fountain. Other people looked as they walked past and shook their heads.” They added: “Soon after she’d finished, people were drinking from the fountain, due to the language barrier I couldn’t stop them.”

OUR VIEW Well done councils ALTHOUGH Spanish councils can have something of a tendency to be bureaucratic they are often very different from UK councils in the way in which they look after residents. The concept in the UK of having an overseas resident’s councillor or department (except perhaps in areas where there is large scale immigration from Africa or the sub-continent) would be quite unusual and on the face of things, there are now far more coalition councils in Spain which means that they are in many faces more balanced. Rubbish collection for purposes of hygiene and the heat is generally daily and in many towns, particularly those near to the coast, there is a daily watering of the streets and cleaning of the beaches. Apart from the regular fairs and fiestas, councils go out of their way to provide entertainment with many towns now offering weekly or one off music events and they don’t just bring in local amateur groups, but often pay quite high amounts for some well-known Spanish bands. In some ways, there is almost too much entertainment and it can be quite irritating to neighbours who are disturbed by the noise of the music and the coming and going of the crowds. All in all however, we have to admire the way in which so many councils endeavour to look after their residents and hopefully the days of corrupt local politicians are in the past so the money collected through tax will be used on the people rather than disappearing into a small number of pockets.

Saudi arms sales by Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S arms industry sold more than €361 million in armaments last year to states that are part of a coalition led by Saudi Arabia currently fighting in Yemen’s civil war. The sales figures, from an annual Spanish government report sent to the country’s Parliament, show the Saudis were the leaders in the exports. About €270.2 million in arms was sold to the Saudi state including a transport plane, drones, mortar shells, artillery, ammunition and other equipment. The figures come as Spain saw a record year last year in terms of arms sales. Around €4.4 billion in weapons was bought from the country, an increase of 7.3 per cent on 2016 levels.

She was taken to hospital after her ordeal with bruising to her arms, legs and face. Police sources confirmed the victim appeared to have

A source said: “She was bound with insulating tape and had bruises on her legs, arms and face. “The suspect was located in a neighbouring flat and arrested several hours later after officers obtained a key and a warrant to access the
property.” The victim, believed to be ‘foreign’ is said to have alerted police after freeing herself from her binds. Rogers has not been charged with a crime yet, as is normal in Spain where charges are only laid shortly before trial. Led into the courts in shorts and t-shirt on Friday, he was questioned by a judge as part of an ongoing criminal investigation. It’s reported that he was remanded in custody.

France asylum offer
TAKEN IN: France has offered to take around 20 of the migrants
Joe Gerrard THE French government has said it would be prepared to take migrants from a rescue boat that picked up migrants near Libya and docked in Algeciras last Thursday. The French Presidency said it would offer to accommodate around 20 of the people from the Open Arms rescue ship in a show of ‘European solidarity.’ The announcement from French officials and the decision by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to allow the ship to
dock follows its turning away by both Italy and Malta. The people from the boat, including 12 youths, are now set to face an asylum application process which could take them up to two years to complete, according to reports. It includes health tests, interviews and identity checks. French officials are due to travel to Spain to begin speaking to the migrants about their potential applications to seek asylum in the former country. The news comes as Spain
opened its first refugee camp in Cadiz Province earlier this week to accommodate the growing number of arrivals. Pedro Sanchez said Madrid was also planning to open a new Migrant Processing Centre in Algeciras at a cost of around €30 million. More than 23,000 migrants, many of which are refugees fleeing war in sub Saharan Africa, have arrived in Spain since the start of this year according to United Nations figures.
TRAGEDY: Grandad forgot he had the baby in the back of his car.
Baby left in car dies A BABY girl has died after being left in a scorching car for eight hours in 30C heat in Mallorca. The 10-month-old’s grandfather told police he forgot she was in the back of his car when he went for a coffee at 7am. He only discovered his mistake when he returned to his vehicle at 3pm. Police questioned the 56-year-old on suspicion of manslaughter, but released him without charges pending an ongoing investigation. A passing doctor is said to have tried to revive the child but as in the case of paramedics who attended, could not save the youngster’s life. The first officers called to the tragic scene are believed to have broken down in tears
after it was confirmed she was dead. Police confirmed today an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the baby girl’s death was underway and a local judge would now have to decide whether to press charges. The chi l d i s under st ood t o have been asleep when her grandfather left her in the back of a Renault Megane Scenic in s’Hort des Cabre Street in the Mallorcan town of Manacor. He suffered an anxiety attack after realising what he had done and had to be treated at Manacor Hospital before being questioned by police. It’s not yet been revealed where he had gone after having a coffee. An autopsy is due to take place.

TURNED DOWN: The Aquarius remains at sea after Spain’s decision.
Migration ship refused docking By Joe Gerrard SPAIN has rejected an appeal from a boat carrying 141 migrants picked up in the Mediterranean that previously sent out an SOS docking req u e s t to E u ro p e a n U nion (EU ) countries. The Aquarius, which rescued the 84 men and boys and 57 women and girls off the coast of Libya last Friday, has had other requests rejected by Malta and Italy. Spain’s ports were not the nearest for the vessel and were therefore not the safest, according to sources from the government in Madrid. The Italian transport minister said the British should take responsibility for letting the vessel dock due to it flying the flag of Gibraltar. “The ship is now in Maltese wa-
ters and under the flag of Gibraltar, at which point Britain must take responsibility for it and its passengers,” he said on Twitter. Local officials in Barcelona said the city’s council would be willing to take the boat despite Madrid’s refusal. Laia Oritz, a council social rights spokesperson, said Barcelona would a lw a ys be c ommitte d to s a ving lives. “Members of the European Union need to take responsibility because these people are fleeing dire circ ums ta nc e s a nd ne e d to be re s cued,” she said. Jean-Claude Gayssot, the head of the port of Sete in France, said he would be willing to allow the boat to dock there. “The only condition is getting the
green light from French authorities,” he said. Gayssot said he understood there were concerns about smuggling and trafficking which crossed over into the issue but added that was secondary to saving lives. “Everything must be second in relation to saving the lives of families, women and children. This is about human lives and the problem is first and foremost a humanitarian one,” he said. French authorities did not rule out allowing the boat to dock earlier this week but they also did not state they would do so. Spain allowed the Aquarius and one other boat to dock in Valencia C ity in June and aut hor i t i es arranged for the 629 passengers to be granted asylum in the country.

by Joe Gerrard AUTHORITIES in Spain remain concerned about possible terrorist attacks in the country as Cataluña approaches the oneyear anniversary of strikes there today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday). Senior police officials said they had foiled around a dozen plots over the past four years which included gun raids and a plan to poison water supplies in major cities. The plotters were linked in most cases to the Islamic State and other fundamentalist terror organisations, they added. The attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils and explosions in Alcanar on August 16 and 17 in 2017 claimed the lives of 24 people including eight attackers. More than 152 people were injured. Spain’s Interior Ministry has kept the country’s terror threat level at four out of five since last year, meaning the risk of an attack is high. Francisco Jose Vazquez, a senior Guardia Civil officer, said the threat level was justified given the amount of plots uncovered. “We can assure the public that jihadist activity is currently latent in Spain. Recently we have investigated and raided cells that were plotting attacks similar to the ones seen in Berlin in 2016 and on Westminster Bridge in London in 2017,” Vazquez said. The Berlin attack saw several people run over by a truck at a Christmas market in the city. Khalid Masood ran over pedestrians on Westminster Bridge before stabbing a police officer as he attempted to get onto the Houses of Parliament estate in March last year.

Barcelona attacks - one year on Spain remains on high alert as authorities claim several plots foiled ANNIVERSARY: A total of 15 civilians were killed in the Barcelona attack.
OUTCRY: Protestors took to La Rambla the day after the attack. The Cataluña incidents saw one house explode on August 16. The cause is believed to have been a stockpile of explosives accidently going off and a second blast occurred during
evacuation efforts. Younes Abouyaaqoub drove a Fiat Talento van down the pavement of Barcelona’s La Rambla the following day at high speed before fleeing on
foot. He hijacked a car in the city’s university quarter, stabbed the driver to death and fled before being killed in a shootout with police in Subirats on August 21. Houssaine Abouyaaqoup, Omar Hichamy, Mohamed Hichamy, Moussa Oukabir and Said Aalla bought four knives and an axe and donned fake bomb vests before ramming pedestrians in Cambrils on August 18. Four of the attackers were shot and killed on site and a fifth died in hospital. A 63-year-old Spanish woman was stabbed to death in the strike and six other people were injured. Police later said the five were linked to the attacker in Barcelona. The motives in all cases were said to be support for the Islamic State and other terror groups. Others cited Western intervention in countries such as Syria and Iraq which Spain has played a minor role in.

Ambulance crew attacked AN ambulance crew trying to attend to a patient had to take refuge inside their own vehicle as a man attacked them, repeatedly spearing the bonnet with a beach umbrella. They had been called out to a home in the El Palo district of Malaga to care for a member of the public, but once there they were confronted by an angry relative of the patient. He was described as being so violent his own family threw him out of the house to allow the doctor, nurse and medic to attend to the patient. But while inside giving their patient the assistance needed, the attacker started to take his anger out on the ambulance by throwing a chair at it, according to Medical Union of Mala-

He attacked the bodywork of the ambulance with such force he left gaping holes in the bonnet. Now the vehicle has had to be taken off the road during one of the busiest periods of the year.

Valencia wild fire extinguished A FIRE that burned 3,270 hectares of land, destroyed or damaged 40 homes and forced the evacuation of 2,620 people was finally put out a week after it started. At its height the blaze which was started by a lightning strike in the Llutxent area of Valencia threatened the seaside resort town of Gandia. More than 700 ground-based personnel and 31 helicopters and planes were drafted in from Valencia, Castellon and Alicante, as well as from the forestry service and military units to contain the fire which had been whipped up by strong gusts of winds. By Friday the blaze, which had started in the early hours of Monday morning, was declared ‘stabilised’ and it was finally extinguished by 8pm on Sunday. The municipal districts of Gandia, Llutxent, Pinet, Ador, Barx and Quatretonda were affected, with 120 people from Pinet joining 2,500 evacuees from La Drova and the Montesol and Montepino urbanisations.
BLAZE: put out before it reached Gandia. Those people evacuated have been allowed back to their homes to assess any damage, with the national government pledging to support those affected with grants to repair damage. Local authorities may also be helped with cash to reforest affected areas. So far this summer, fire has destroyed a total of
11,722.90 hectares in Spain, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, but these figures do not include the latest blazes in Nerva, Moguer, Almonaster Huelva, or Llutxent. It is still 84.63 per cent less than in the same period of the previous year (76,625 hectares).

Ryanair pilots strike A RYANAIR pilots’ walkout saw the cancellation of four flights in Malaga last weekend out of 78, covering destinations throughout Europe and grounded across Spain. The strike was part of industrial action taken across Europe as part of a long-running dispute between pilots and company bosses over pay and conditions. Malaga airport and that of Sevilla were two of the most severely affected in Andalucia. All four flights grounded to and from Malaga were either arriving from or leaving for Germany. There were two departures and two arrivals linking the Costa del Sol airport with Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, according to Ryanair. The Spanish Pilots’ Union (SEPLA), which did not strike over the weekend, said it wanted to express solidarity with crew taking industrial action elsewhere in Europe. “Ryanair pilots elsewhere in
WALKOUT: Four flights were cancelled at Malaga airport. Europe are demanding real dialogue with the company and an end to delays to ongoing talks which our union has also experienced,” SEPLA said in a statement. The union added it had filed a complaint with Spain’s National Court over Ryanair’s alleged failure to apply the coun-
try’s labour standards to its workers. “The only thing we want is for our pilots to have the rights they are entitled to under Spanish labour regulations, as well as the ability to bargain collectively,” SEPLA said. Ryanair said in a statement that the strikes were ‘regret-
table’ and ‘unjustified’ and added it was grateful to those pilots who still attended work. “We want to apologise to customers affected by this unnecessary disruption and we ask the striking unions to continue negotiations instead of calling any more unjustified
strikes,” the company said. A total of 400 flights were axed as part of the 24-hour Europe-wide strike. An estimated 70,000 passengers are estimated to have been affected across the continent last weekend. Delays continued into next week after air traffic control staff walked out in France, Germany, Spain, Greece and Croatia. About 220 out of 2,493 of Ryanair’s flights were affected by those strikes on Monday. The strikes follow a long running dispute between Ryanair crew and the company. Ryanair’s refusal to recognise trade unions led to walkouts late last year and the company later agreed to open talks with union representatives. Some unions including SEPLA claimed these talks have been delayed or are not progressing. Ryanair claimed union members’ walkouts were preventing dialogue.

RISING NUMBERS: A total of 4.5 million cruise passengers came to Spain up to June. THE number of people arriving in Spain aboard cruise ships rose to 4.5 million in the first months of this year, according to data from the country’s port authorities. Authority statistics showed around 1,990 docked in Spanish ports in the months up to and including June, an increase of 251 on last year’s figures. Ornella Chacon, president of the authority, said efforts should be made to promote the industry. “Cruise passengers generate direct and indirect jobs in local economies which also improves the quality of life for thousands of families,” Chacon said. The Canary Islands led the way in the increases, with the number of cruise passengers arriving there increasing by 35.6 per cent to 1.3 million.
They were followed by Spain’s Mediterranean ports at 19.9 per cent to 2.76 million and its Atlantic ports with 14.8 per cent. Cruises have been a divisive issue in Spain. Protestors demonstrated against the arrival of the Symphony of the Seas in Palma in Mallorca earlier this year. Locals in Almeria City have previously complained about the impact of ships arriving in its port on their health and well-being. Those in favour of the ships argue it boosts local economies and increases wealth while those against cite environmental concerns and ‘touristification.’ The latter term refers to price increases that follow rising tourist numbers and small areas often having to cope with more people.

By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S Prime Minister and the German Chancellor have said they have found ‘European solutions’ to migrant arrivals on Spain’s and the continent’s southern frontiers following a meeting last Saturday. Pedro Sanchez and Angela Merkel held a joint press conference following talks at Sanlucar de Barrameda in Cadiz Province. Merkel was staying at the Prime Minister’s summer residence in the Doñana National Park in Huelva Province.
Sanchez said the two had agreed to push for more dialogue and co-operation with countries such as Morocco which many migrants travel through in order to reach Spain. He added he and the German Chancellor had agreed to begin talks with the European Union (EU) with a view to making more aid available for border security in Morocco. The Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla share a land border with the North African country. Merkel said the EU’s exist-
ing Dublin system, which states that each member state is required to process asylum requests for those arriving on its soil, was not working. She added her and Sanchez had spoken about trying to find a system that would fairly distribute arrivals across the bloc’s member states. “Germany and Spain are counting on European solutions,” Merkel said. The German Chancellor added she was now seeking to strike a similar deal with Greece, another leading desti-
nation point for migrants travelling to Europe. The meeting comes as an agreement between Germany and Spain on migrant transfers came into force yesterday. The deal means migrants arriving in Germany but who are already registered in Spain will be returned within 48 hours. There have been no cases since mid-June where the arrangement would apply, according to German media reports. EU leaders are now set to meet in Salzburg in Austria for a summit on migration in September. Sanchez and Merkel are expected to take their proposals from last weekend’s meeting to the talks.

Spain’s Ministry of Defence said the incident took place when two Spanish Eurofighters were taking part in an exercise with two French Mirage 2000 warplanes. One of the Spanish planes fired an air-to-air missile during the manoeuvres. All the planes later returned to the Siauliai air base in Lithuania without incident. The cause remains unknown but it is suspected to have being accidental, according to Spain’s Ministry of Defence. Estonian media has speculated as to the location of the
missile, with almost 60 people alerting authorities to possible sites. It is believed to have exploded in mid air over Jogvera County in central Estonia, according to the country’s air force commander Riivo Valge. Valge said his team were almost certain the missile was destroyed but they would be ‘cautious’ while they confirmed this. Estonia’s Prime Minister said the missile caused no damage and repeated his country’s commitment to NATO. “The NATO mission makes an important contribution to the security of Estonia and the entire alliance,” Ratas said. The Eurofighter, from the Vilkas Bap-47 squadron, was taking part in NATO’s wider operations in the Baltic.

KINGPIN: Manuel Charlin was held in Vilanove de Arousa.
CONVICTED: Gonzalo Andreas Gomez-Remolina has been on trial at the Old Bailey.
By Rhys Adam AN international jewel thief has been convicted of murdering a 28-year-old Spanish man and his friend. Colombian-born Gonzalo Andreas Gomez-Remolina, aged 36, and his brother Christian - who killed himself in prison before his own murder trial - stabbed Ruben Fuente and Carlos Ayala in Clapham, south London, in 2007. Mr Ayala had helped the defendant in at least one burglary and named his killer with his dying breath, the Old Bailey
heard. Spaniard Mr Fuente was in the ‘wrong place at the wrong time’ and stabbed eight times as he tried to escape, the jury were told. Prosecutor Brian O’Neill QC said Mr Ayala and the Gomez-Remolinas brothers had ‘fallen out... over dividing the spoils.’ It escalated when Mr Ayala got some friends to break into the brothers’ flat and the Colombians were beaten, their girlfriends tied up and watches and cash stolen. The Gomez-Remolinas re-
taliated by attempting to run over Mr Ayala and Mr Fuente in a car park. During his trial, the defendant denied being involved in the killings, saying he had bolted when Mr Ayala produced a knife and that his brother had confessed to the killings whilst the brothers fled on a Eurostar service to Paris. However, the jury did not believe him and convicted him of both murders. After the trial, Mr Fuente’s family said they had ‘endured the greatest heartache.’
€170m coke bust sees drug lord, 85, held by Matt Ford A NOTORIOUS drugs kingpin has been held in a cocaine smuggling crackdown during police raids across Spain. Manuel Charlin, 85, was arrested after armed officers swooped on his palatial mansion in Vilanova de Arousa, Galicia.

In 2003, he and 13 others were jailed for 15 years and fined more than €2.9 million for money laundering and tax fraud. The sent ence was l at er r educed t o 13 years and he was freed in 2010.

Do not sign the deposit contract that the estate agent prepared for you Costa Luz Lawyers By María L. de Castro Lawyer. Director. Costaluz Lawyers
• What is a deposit contract? A deposit contract is an initial signed agreement for a property purchase process by which the buyer agrees to pay an initial sum which is both (1) part of the price and (2) a guarantee/ penalty for fulfilment of the agreement. • Why is it so important? A deposit contract is not just the commercial agreement by which the house is removed from the market, but a legal document that can significantly control the purchase process. • How the sale is controlled by the deposit contract?
The deposit contract establishes deadlines, conditions, penalties for the final formalising of the sale and everything agreed and signed is binding. • Why you should not sign the contract drafted by the estate agent! The most honourable and decent agent will never only have your legal interest as a priority. He has a commercial interest in the sale of the property and that is often in contradiction with your needs and rights for a safe transaction. • So what is the best way to proceed? The best way to proceed is to have the deposit contract revised by an experienced and independent lawyer who will be able to anticipate and avoid any legal problems. If you or any of your friends or relatives are in the process of buying a property in Spain, contact us for a free initial consultation.

STAT OF WEEK €2.8bn state aid plunge revealed SPAIN has placed third bottom in a European Union-wide ranking of financial support offered to companies. A new report by the National Commission of Markets and Competition has revealed how state aid to firms based in the country has been slashed by €2.8 billion - almost half - since 2009. This represents just 0.26 per cent of gross domestic product with only Italy (0.22 per cent) and Ireland (0.2) contributing less. And the UK (0.36) also fares badly, falling below the EU average 0.7 per cent.

Mango losses reduced ALTHOUGH at one time the Mango fashion chain was pushing Inditex (owner of Zara and other high street names) for financial dominance, recently it has been in the doldrums. Founded in Barcelona by brothers Isak and Nahman Andic it became one of the biggest fashion firms in the world, but having moved into negative profit for a number of years, it is beginning to see a reduction in losses. At one time, employing 9,000 staff and with a turnover of more
by John Smith than €2 billion which produced significant profits, its 2017 report shows that it has reduced losses by 45 per cent to €33 million, although sales have dropped €2.194 billion. At least its gross operating profit has increased by some €115 million which is 50 per cent up on 2016, but this would have been much higher had it not been for a very hot second half of the year in its main markets which saw overall
sales depressed. Indeed according to the company, had the results of the first half of the year carried through to the second half, then it would have seen a return to profit. Interim figures for 2018 are encouraging and if they continue to follow the trend of the first six months then final results should be encouraging, especially as the company has reduced its debt €617 million to €415 million. Mango now has 2,190 stores in 110 countries.
National bank’s crypto scheme SPAIN’S central bank has claimed that cryptocurrency and blockchain technology could help the country’s economy. It comes after the Banco de España (BDE) released a report probing the pros and cons of introducing a virtual version of the state currency.

BDE senior economist Galo Nuño was the man behind the study, and he argues that blockchain technology could help track the nation’s money supply.

Beer we go
HAPPY FACES: But still having to stay at home. SPANIARDS tend to remain at home until the age of 29 according to a new report from the European Eurostat barometer. This is one of the older ends of the age scale when compared to other youth in the eurozone and can be ascribed to a combination of youth unemployment, the number of short term work contracts and the lack of affordable property to rent or purchase. Those who leave home earliest
are the Swedes with an average age of just 21, whilst in Malta the average age is as high as 32.2 years. The figures for Spain which were provided by the Emancipation Observatory of the Council of Youth of Spain is accurate to the end of the first half of 2017 and it is noted that only approximately 20 per cent of those under 29 are able to afford to leave home.
SPANIARDS spend 10 per cent of their wages on beer, with almost 36 billion litres consumed across the country last year and an average citizen spending more than €1,000 per month, according to new Brewers of Spain figures.

Madrid accounts for almost 30 per cent of sex toy sales, with the Valencian Community the second-
most profitable region with 20 per cent and Cataluña third with 17.7 per cent. Andalucia trails in fourth with 16.6 per cent and the Basque Country completes the top five with just 3.4 per cent. Ownership was lowest in Navarra with just 0.4 per cent of the market. The survey was commissioned to mark international female orgasm day.

It’s still cheaper to live in Spain A RECENT report suggests that although prices have increased, it is still much cheaper to live in Spain than in the United Kingdom. Naturally there are regional differences in both countries and there may be a negative affect for new arrivals following Brexit but overall, there are some significant savings to be made for any Brits who want to emigrate to the Iberian Peninsula. The company thinkSpain highlights the main savings that can be made, with the most striking being in the cost of property with average prices per square metre as much as five times cheaper in Spain with certain costs such as heating also significantly lower. Public transport is cheaper as well and there are special discounts which can be obtained for pensioners who are looking to travel relatively long journeys by train. Petrol is still cheaper although by only a few per cent, but if you are lucky enough to live near to G i b r a l t a r, y o u c a n p o p i n t h e r e and fill up saving up to a stunning
Good news for expats
SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS: Enjoy cheaper food and drink in Spain. 20 per cent on Spanish prices. Eating out is generally much cheaper with a choice of set menus at prices that may astound the tourist used to London prices and although the Spanish have increased the margins on wines and
spirits sold in restaurants and bars, it is still possible to buy a decent bottle of wine in a store for around €3 and something drinkable can be as cheap as €1.50. Whilst looking at ‘vices,’ beer, spirits and cigarettes are generally
cheaper than the UK and apart from Gibraltar, there are also bargains to be had in both Andorra and the Canary Islands. There are some negatives, especially with regards to inheritance tax for foreigners and the fact that a spouse may not be able to be left the family property if there are children or other family memb e r s i n t h e c o u n t r y, b u t a g o o d lawyer will be able to advise on the best form of Will and which country it should be prepared in. If you decide to take up work and are registered with Spanish Social Security then you and your family will be able to take advantage of the health care system and for expatriate pensioners, the UK will currently advise the Spanish health service of your eligibility to be included. So life (including most ‘council taxes’) is cheaper, but there is also the added bonus of the warm w e a t h e r w h i c h s u i t s m a n y, a l though it would be a good idea to check average temperatures across the year as some areas can see exceptional heat in the summer months.

Mercadona phases out plastic bags AFTER introducing a trial in 66 of its supermarkets throughout Spain, the Mercadona group has announced that with effect from 2019 it will cease to supply new plastic bags to customers. The company declared that it supported a sustainable policy as early as 2011 and for the future it will be offering consumers the opportunity to purchase recycled plastic, paper or at a slightly higher cost a raffia basket. The basket in particular has been quite popular with shoppers and has seen an overall reduction in consumption of other types of bags. Another part of its strategy will be to phase in new household goods such as buckets and brooms also made from recycled plastic.

Are our values being threatened? LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT “DADDY,” says the little boy, looking enquiringly up at his Father. “Why do we wear these long white robes?” “Well my son,” replies his Dad. “That’s to keep the flies away and the mosquitoes from biting our arms and legs.” “Oh I see,” says the boy. “And Dad, why do we wear these wide sandals?” “To stop us from sinking into the sand,” explains his Father. “Also,” he adds, “this cloth over our head is to protect us from the sun and the dust of the desert.” The boy appears somewhat puzzled. “Dad” he says; “why are we dressed like this in the middle of Luton!?” This oldie but goodie, just about sums up the burka controversy that has been wasting so much of our precious time over the last couple of weeks. Basically it demonstrates that there is simply no valid reason whatsoever for any woman to walk around in this garment of utterly depressing Draconian diversity. Not only is it is an affront to European society, it is yet another weapon in the cultural war that is being raged against us by people who have no interest in any integration or acceptance of Western values at all. This foreboding garment is confrontational, intimidating and, as
ERODING: Debate over the burka has being sparked following Boris Johnson’s (inset) remarks. there is no mention of it in any ‘holy book,’ bears no religious significance whatsoever. For the women who dress in this manner to consider themselves ‘upset’ or ‘offended’ by Boris referring to them as resembling ‘letterboxes’ and ‘bank robbers’ is pretty rich, when many of them have been utterly scathing and downright insulting with their public accusations of
‘sluts’ and ‘whores’ toward any Western women who deems to wear clothing that may reveal some part of their anatomy slightly above the knee or elbow. Most of these women wear this shapeless attire at the behest of their men, who are so insecure in their relationships, and so jealous and distrustful of their peers, they simply can’t risk
any randy rival taking a shine and delivering the ultimate insult by possibly running off with their missus. To my way of thinking, as long as it doesn’t incite rioting or undue hardship, we should be allowed to voice any opinions we desire. Our Western values are slowly but surely being eroded and gagged by this ridiculous political correctness, which to me increasingly appears to be totally one sided and biased against our Western communities. This is how we are all being thanked for extending the hand of friendship and welcome to the diversity and cultures of distant lands. Well I’ve got another phobia which is moving nearer to my heart by the day. It’s called Westernophobia. And I for one am utterly sick and tired of it. The sooner those, who think they can change our society and proud historical heritage by running slip shod over all we hold near and dear, begin to realise we will never succumb to their endeavours, the better it will be for all concerned. Many happy returns to my wonderful twins David and Rebecca who reached the ripe old age of 18 this week. Where did it all go I ask myself? Have a great day. Love ya both to bits. Keep the faith.

Help when you need it most THE loss of a loved one at any time is traumatic but if it happens here in Spain, you may well need help from a caring and knowledgeable team to deal with what could be a difficult process. The English Funeral Directors, based on the Costa del Sol was created some 20 years ago in order to offer expatriates a service which will steer them through all of the requirements of Spanish law and ensure that the important administrative work is completed on their behalf. Traditions and practice with regards to death in the UK are quite different to those in Spain, where the deceased is normally buried within 24 hours but if required, the English Funeral Directors can arrange to delay the process so that friends and family can be alerted and travel over for the ceremony.
FUNERAL DIRECTORS: Offering a caring service. They can also contact an English-speaking minister or celebrant to conduct the service or arrange repatriation to the UK which will be organised personally for you. For the growing number of people who want their last action to be environmentally positive, the company even offers non-ornate or eco-friendly coffins, as well as the option to take ashes back to the UK. Death can be an expensive business for those left behind and the English Funeral Directors offer various pricing options to suit
your needs, as well as the opportunity for individuals to subscribe to pre-paid funeral plans which can be used in the UK or Spain. If you have the unhappy need to contact a funeral director, then proprietor John will be able to offer a caring and personal service and you can call 699 664 660 in Spain, +44 (0) 1992 623 310 in the UK or email info@cheshuntfu neraldirectors.com, their sister company in the UK.

EWN MEDIA GROUP: Head office.
Welcome aboard Harrison THE new Editor of the EWN Media Group has the savvy nous and sheer common sense, hard won through careers in media and public relations, as well as many years as a hard-bitten policeman. Such a wide-ranging wealth of experience should serve Dean Harrison (just call him Harrison) well in his new role as hands-on editor of the six editions of the Euro Weekly News (EWN), as well as his position overseeing the three-strong RTN f a m i l y o f p a p e r s a n d t h e S o l Ti m e s i n Almeria. Harrison, who has previously worked for the EWN as head of its digital media team, has been in Spain for five years now and says he plans to approach the job with diligence, openness and with a team mindset. “I want to ensure we deliver the best results for all our editions and ultimately for our readers and clients,” he said. He added that he will work hard to build on the success of the company following its winning of the Spanish Press Association’s Professional Trajectory Award this year and the Best Free Publication award in 2017. “I’m conscious that the EWN has achieved great things recently and I can’t wait to take it to greater heights,” he said. “The group has gone from strength to
strength under my predecessors and under the guidance of owners and publishers Steven and Michel Euesden. Let’s see how far we can take it going forward,” he said. Harrison’s background in the police gives him an attention to detail and a hunger for facts that serves him well in sniffing out the news, plus the organisational skills to put his ideas into practice. He is committed to delivering the quality combination of hard-hitting news and community and human interest stories that readers have come to associate with the EWN. “I’ve been back here for a short time to prep for my new role and I’ve already seen a wide array of well researched local stories. Our excellent ream of young reporters have been interviewing residents and holidaymakers, as well as covering national news, which our loyal readers come back to us for time and again. “I’d like to take this opportunity to ask all readers of the EWN to keep getting in touch with us and letting us know about the issues that are affecting them in their local areas,” he said. Harrison has until recently spent much of his time on the Costa del Sol. Now he is looking forward to getting to know other areas popular with expatriates
“
I want to ensure we deliver the best results for all our editions and ultimately for our readers and clients.”
through his work at the EWN. “I’ve spent time in our other areas but not as much as I would like. I feel our readers want to have the opportunity to learn about what’s going on where their fellow expats are based. “Now I have the opportunity to join our readers on that and to learn more about places which I’ve not had the chance to see,” he said. Harrison believes that in today’s testing times for both Spain and the world the EWN can continue to be an informative, interesting and entertaining read for anyone interested in news and current affairs. “I would like to thank everyone in the office for welcoming me on board and having the chance to give the best to our readers. I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s feedback on how my tenure as editor goes,” he said.
HARRISON: New editor.

Most notable is the flexibility and control that we can now bring to our lives through use of the internet and Wi-Fi. Neater Heater customers can now benefit, not only from the no-nonsense Nordic design that has made them so appealing, but also from this modern ‘next generation’ technology. Some of their best-selling models can now come with integrated Wi-Fi, so that you can control your heaters easily via the ADAX Wi-Fi App. So, without changing the laws of physics, you can now adjust the temperature in your home from wherever you are in the Galaxy (Internet coverage permitting).

Bring on the Dragons
by Adam Whalley-Lewis SO, the dragons are back. No breathing fire please, remember we are under a Wild Fire Order, but they burst back onto our screens on Sunday evening, BBC2. I’m not sure where said Dragons got their studio from. I think they pinched from Channel 4’s Four Rooms - you know, the show where you turn up with bit of old tat and the rich people in the rooms tell you it’s lovely, but just not for them. Back to the Dragons. Just how tall is Peter Jones and does he live in Sloane Square? I don’t know, but it must deflate your ego something terrible when Peter tells you ‘I just don’t like you’ as he did on Sunday. I really liked the new model tuk-tuk and even though the Dragons were concerned that the entire project was doomed (which it was, Dad’s Army style doomed) I might have risked a Euro or two just to see where the idea might have gotten to. The Dragons continue to deflate bubbly entrepreneurs on BBC2, Sunday evenings. Fans of BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing, please place your feet firmly on the floor, return your tray table to the upright position and brace yourselves. Auntie has started to release the names of the celebrities who will
THE DRAGONS: Strictly not necessary. appear on this year’s show. I really don’t like the trickle approach to telling us who will be waltzing across our screens in a few weeks’ time. Just tell us. We can stand it and we won’t inflate our life vests until we are clear of the aircraft, promise Auntie. It will be difficult for hard core Strictly fans across the Costas not to wish the summer heat away and chair dance to the theme tune, but be
careful what you wish for guys, remember last winter? How are you getting on with BBC1’s Age Before Beauty on Tuesday nights? I know there are a lot of Robson Green fans out there, but we haven’t yet spotted any river monsters or even a suggestion of a rowing boat, never mind deep sea fishing. I think the first few episodes have done far
too much scene setting and haven’t netted me yet. To be honest I’m just not sure that Teddy (Robson) would want to break up Wesley and Bel (James Murray and Polly Walker) and this could be the lobster pot in the plot, why is Teddy going to all that trouble when he could be out catching monster fish? The cast is solid enough though and I won’t give up on this one just yet. BBC1 is currently dishing up another helping of The Real Marigold Hotel on Wednesday nights. The celebrities are, in theory, experiencing life in India with a view to possibly retiring there. I smell a rat. I don’t know how many celebs have visited nice places in the name of possibly retiring there, only to go home and think it over in the final episode and actually never think about it ever again - like those folk on A Place in the Sun who you know just aren’t going to buy the villa on the coast although it is perfect for them. It is worth dipping in via BBC iPlayer, just for Selina Scott and Stanley Johnson. Celebrity Big Brother launches today (Thursday) on Channel 5. You just know I can’t wait for next week’s column. Happy Viewing. HappyViewing1@outlook.com

Amazing help when needed from Benalmadena hospital TWO weeks ago I collapsed in Arroyo and the receptionist in the pensioners building of Mosquito Plaza phoned for a doctor and ambulance. I gave my HIC card and passport to them and 10 minutes later I was in the Benalmadena hospital being attended by doctors. They said it was very serious and we were sent by ambulance to Virgin de la Victoria hospital Malaga. In great pain I told the doctors and surgeon I had a pacemaker and was refused an operation in the UK, long before it become an emergency. They laughed, saying “no problem we do these ops every day,” they spoke English as do many nurses. It was a successful operation, by an amazing team of doctors and as it was 4am my wife was offered a bed to sleep and given updates on me. I enjoyed eight days of high standard care with voluntary translators if needed and I thank everyone for their kindness to us both. I then spent eight days in the Torrequebrada clinic again with voluntary translators on hand if needed.
HAVE YOUR SAY
What a tremendous job that everyone did and I am so grateful to all. John Killick, Benalmadena
Money grabbing reds are taking fans to cleaners
Tale of two cities
THIS season, it will cost a supporter a staggering £110 (€123) to buy a replica Manchester United shirt… utterly outrageous! The weekly salary of the Cambodian textile workers who make the shirts is just £31-a-week (€34.70). The money-grabbing Premiership club - the most hated football club in the world by the way - already has £3.6 billion (€4.1bn) in the bank from its American owners, the Glazers, plus an annual income of £70m (€78.5m) from Adidas. There’s also a £429m (€481m) seven-year shirt sponsorship with Chevrolet, £285m (€32m) per annum comes in from various commercial deals and almost £200m (€224m) from broadcasting rights. The club pays out around £275m (€308m) in annual wages (including salaries of £23m (€25.8m) to

AS far back as 2003, a UN Sponsored Conference affirmed the importance of citizens having ready access to the ‘information society.’ Recently, a number of EU countries, including Spain have gone further and declared internet access to be a basic right of citizens. Unfortunately, in the year 2018, access to ‘reliable’ internet services in Spain seems to be a postcode lottery. For example, if you are a Movistar customer in the village of Orxeta, in the hills just above Villajoyosa, you can expect 4G wireless internet at download speeds in excess of 20 mbps. If you live just over the hill, as I do, in the village of Relleu you have to make do with a grossly over-subscribed 3G service, very often returning speeds less than 1 mbps. That just can’t be right. Yes we have access to the internet, but often we can’t use it! It’s 2018 Movistar, get your act together and give all your customers the level of service they were promised and are paying for! A MacDonald Thompson, Relleu
Thanks Dr Jones I WOULD like to give thanks and praise to Dr Jones and his staff at Clinica Dental in Alfaz del Pi. I had cause to have some unusual and quite difficult dental surgery recently and this was carried out very professionally with the minimum of discomfort. If you are not yet fluent in Spanish, you need not worry as they speak perfect English. I recommend them to you. Peter, Alfaz
Sharia law I ALWAYS read your paper with great appreciation, but Leapy says it all for me this week when quoting what our High Court have decided in relation to accepting Sharia Law.

I conclude by congratulating you on a most interesting and informative newspaper. Carry on the good work. Roger Davis, Calpe

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) You like to do your own things in your own way and in your own time. That certainly shows this week. It can cause a bit of a stir with family. Even so, it will inspire someone close to step forward and make their own stand. Put someone straight when they step out of line.
HAVE NOTS: A fraction of billionaires’ wealth could end global extreme poverty.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Trivia from around the world *** The French army is the only one in Europe that still employs carrier pigeons. The birds are stationed at Mount Valerien, near Paris, and are intended for use during major natural disasters. *** Women from the Kayan Lahwi tribe in the Shan state of Myanmar wear a
series of neck rings to lengthen them. *** Bolivia’s San Pedro prison allows inmates to live with their families, work and rent and buy their cells. *** Eritrea has scheduled elections regularly but all have been cancelled and none have ever been held. *** The United Arab Emirates is made
up of seven kingdoms, or Emirates, each of which is ruled by a different royal family. The Emirates decided to unite in 1971. *** Madagascar was discovered by humans relatively recently in 500 CE. That is about 300,000 years after the appearance of Homo sapiens in Africa.
DID YOU KNOW? Billionaires around the world made €656 billion last year, enough money on top of their existing funds to end extreme poverty across the globe seven times over, according to Oxfam. Winnie Byanyima, of the charity, said the rising number of the super rich was not a sign of a thriving economy, but a symptom of a ‘failing’ system. The world has at least 2,043 billionaires.

The kind nature that is so much a part of you is only too evident this week. A situation makes you feel frustrated and you need to find a way forward. A bit of expert advice goes a long way even if it does mean that you still have to go it alone. Be strong and remind yourself that this is for someone else.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) As you prefer living in the here and now, you find it difficult to understand and tolerate people who plot and plan in advance. It is tedious in the extreme to consider every little detail of something which may never happen. Because there is this relaxed attitude, you have developed a larger-than-life personality.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This time of year reminds you just how much you enjoy home comforts. Plan ahead now for those chilly winter nights when the air is crisp and the wine is mulled. The urge is to work with others this week and that in itself throws up plans for evenings ahead. Having planned a romantic weekend there may need to be some adjustments.

Your mind, as ever, is changeable. This is a fun time to dabble at this and that to bring a bit of variety to your life and work. Meeting new people and starting new projects means that it is a busy time at work but the rewards are high.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) This is an emotional week, when it is difficult to keep things to yourself. Get together with others and do a bit of social networking. Talk, and if you cannot bring yourself to confess to a problem, say that it is a friend of yours who has it. Certainly, you need to share
this concern to get a balanced picture.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) There is a highly social week ahead with social gatherings here and there. A trip means that finances start to look brighter. You may find it necessary, if you are to progress, to consider a move to another job or area. Get involved with people who have been in the same situation.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) There is a great impatience this week when someone flatly refuses to see something through to the end. You do not admire sloppiness and your reaction shows this. It may be necessary for you to sort out a situation which has been going on far too long. As you dislike loose ends in any respect, your patience may come to an end.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Energy is high and there is a lot of fun to be had. An invitation sent out brings an old friend to your table. This is not as straightforward as you think it will be. Odd stirrings make you confused.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You feel like a fish out of water in a confused and noisy situation. Perhaps you are not making the right kind of friends, so take control of the quality of people who you associate with. Maybe it is relatives that are causing concern. You cannot choose your relatives, but it is possible to see less of them.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is a great social week. Your puppy-like enthusiasm attracts others and a barrage of good vibes comes your way. Indeed, your relaxed attitude allows someone close to get their own life a bit more into perspective.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) People look to you to guide them through the maze of right and wrong this week. Your talent for bringing humour into the most tense situations is invaluable midweek. Summer is a socialising time for you and it is all steam ahead as you issue invitations and receive some back.

A rebel speaks AUTHORITIES in the United States have just decreed that women in the country are now only allowed to speak 100 words per day. As officials fit ‘wrist counters’ which send jolts of electricity through anyone who breaks the new rules, Dr Jean McClellan is struggling to come to terms with the new regime. ‘Pure Women’ gradually begin to lose their jobs, their reading and writing skills and soon their voice. They are expected to keep their mouths shut and stay at home. They are told they must be modest, submissive, humble and pure, that they must be honourable and obedient. Their husbands will take care of everything, after all. Dr McClellan sees a future in which herself, her daughter and all women are subdued. She decides to reclaim her voice in Christina Dalcher’s Vox.

Heat can cause traffic accidents THE August holiday police operation ‘salida’ sees around 150,000 injuries per year in Spain due to traffic accidents, with young people particularly at risk. In fact, 17 per cent of traffic accidents may be due to excessive temperatures, according to studies conducted by Prevensis, a company specialised in the analysis of driver behaviour. When a car’s interior temperature reaches 30°C, it increases the risk of driver error by 20 per cent and reduces reaction time by 22 per cent. Experts from the hospitals Quironsalud Torrevieja and Valencia warn that heat affects the capabilities and behaviour of the driver. According to Dr Ignacio Garcia, Traffic Unit specialist and assistant to the medical management at Hospital Quironsalud Valencia, “the excess of temperature that we capture in our body surface is transmitted to an area of our brain, the hypothalamus. This gland, in addition to regulating our body temperature, fulfills other functions as a control of our moods, it modulates sleep and allows the ability to react to certain unexpected circumstances.” The heat excess affects the functions of said gland and is capable of causing failures in driving, which manifest as fatigue, drowsiness, aggression and even diminishes the ability to concentrate and
Tips for safe driving • Sufficient rest: do not start the trip if you have not rested properly. It is also recommended to take a break every hour and a half to stretch. Stop as soon as you feel tired. • Eat light meals and do not drink any type of alcoholic beverage, including low alcohol. • Wheel right position: the legs should be slightly flexed and the backrest adjusted for the wrists to reach the top of the steering wheel. • Use comfortable and loose clothing as well as adequate footwear. the attention, reducing the reaction times before a certain circumstance. Dr Alfredo Perez Cortada, Traffic Unit specialist at Hospital Quironsalud Torrevieja warns, “we should avoid travel in the hottest hours, it is better to do it early in the morning or at the end of the afternoon, but always with daylight.” In addition, an interior car temperature between 35 and 40° is just as dangerous as having drunk five beers. With this heat, the driver stops perceiving between 15 and 20 per cent of traffic signals and the chance of error increases up to 35 per cent.

Face up to the sun FACIAL skincare is an all-year-round commitment, and even more so in the height of the summer. But despite the well-publicised dangers and negative effects of UV rays, just under half of the 1,008 women surveyed by leading market researcher Mintel use facial skincare products containing SPF. It also found that 40 per cent of female facial skincare users find it difficult to know which level of sun protection to use on a daily basis. Roshida Khanom of Mintel said that while s un ex p o -

Flippin’ eck FLIP-FLOPS have long been a wardrobe must-have in the sun. They keep your feet cool, are easy to throw on and come in all colours and patterns. But they wreak havoc on your feet and can be dangerous. Podiatrists blame flip-flops for blisters, bacteria, viral infections, bad posture, shooting pains, bunion exacerbation, hammertoe issues, athlete’s foot and a lack of arch support. Research has shown that the footwear actually changes the way wearers walk, sometimes permanently. There is no arch or heel support, and you have to grip them with your toes to keep them on. This can all impact on the rest of the body, with noticeable effects on everything from posture to gait. According to a Consumer Product Safety Commission report on emergency room visits
FLIP-FLOP OFF: Like wine, they are fine in moderation. due to shoe-related injuries, 27,000 were associated with flip flops in 2016. Driving in flip-flops is illegal in Spain for good reason. Just like any backless shoe, there’s a possibility that they will slip off your feet and get stuck under the
brake or gas pedal. It’s a good idea to keep a pair of driving shoes in the back of your car for this reason. Podiatrists also advise wearing flip-flops for running, hiking, walking long distances, standing for a long time or play-
Sleeping in the heat PREPARATION: There are ways to get cool enough to drop off to sleep.
WHEN it’s hot outside and you don’t have air conditioning, it can be a nightmare getting off to asleep. But there are ways to get and stay cool for long enough to drift off. It’s advisable to do any exercise a few hours before getting into bed, and to drink plenty of water. Body temperature is raised during strenuous activity and you retain heat. It’s also a good idea to keep a glass of room temperature water by your bed-
side. Ice cold water slows down digestion and metabolism by constricting blood vessels, thereby decreasing the body’s ability to cool off. Eating a heavy meal or spicy food before bedtime may make you feel hotter, so eat a light dinner at least two or three hours before bed. And contrary to popular belief, avoid a very cold shower before hitting the sack as it can have a rebound effect. Tepid shower or bath is best. Another idea is to soak your
hands and feet - the body’s radiators - in tepid water to cool down. Heat rises, so the lower to the ground or in the house you are, the more comfortable you will be. And avoid heavy bedding, light cotton or bamboo mats are preferable. If possible, put bedding in the freezer 30 minutes before bedtime. Don’t sleep naked as this does not allow moisture to evaporate between your body and the sleeping surface. Cotton is best.

SUMMER sun, hot dry air, salty water and chlorine are a heady cocktail of trouble for our tresses. So it’s no wonder we are constantly battling split ends, oily scalps and dull and lifeless locks. But healthy locks can be maintained all summer long. Messy buns and braids as opposed to a coifed or blow dried hair are the norm during the summer, but it’s important to have regular trims. Desert heat dries everything out - including the shaft of the hair, and as the hair grows, it continues to split up the shaft causing more damage. Like any other part of the body, hair and the scalp needs protection from damaging UV rays. Coconut oil is an antioxidant that keeps harmful rays at bay as well as being a natural SPF. It can be lathered onto damp hair as a deep conditioner, repairing and protecting your crowning glory
all day long. Unless you are washing the coconut oil out, cleaning your hair daily is not recommended. Frequent washing increases oil production leading to a greasier scalp and brittle hair.
Instead use a dry shampoo which helps to reduce scalp oil without drying out your locks. Or try mixing two to three tablespoons of coconut water with the juice of a lemon, massaging the mixture into your scalp for five
The seeds of life THE humble pumpkin could be a man’s best friend when it comes to improving sexual health. Visiting the doctor, going to the gym and regular medical check-ups are imperative, but there are natural foods that are equally important for a healthy lifestyle. And the pumpkin, ‘pepita de calabaz’ in Spanish, is one of them, in particular its seeds. An ideal snack, the seeds, or ‘pipas,’ are available all-yearround and packed with nutrients. According to a study published in Indian Journal of Urology, they are commonly used to strengthen the prostate gland and promote healthy hormone function in men. It claims they may help with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition that causes problems with urination due to an enlarged prostate gland. It’s also believed that reduced
sperm quality and even infertility in men may be associated with low zinc levels, a mineral found in abundance in the seeds. According to the book ‘Healing Foods’ by DK Publishing, the antioxidant content may play a role in healthy testosterone levels. Pumpkin seeds are also rich in protein, essential for building and repairing muscle, and phosphorous, which speeds up the metabolism. Other attributes include high levels of magnesium for physiological functions, like pumping of the heart,

Move over Mrs May - amid Tory turmoil and a possible ‘no-deal Brexit’! Nora Johnson
Breaking Views Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
IT’S really hard to understand why Theresa May’s leadership hasn’t been challenged. If the milk’s gone off, don’t you throw it out of the fridge? The idea that some miraculous Brexit whiterabbit deal will be pulled out of the hat at the last minute is sheer wishful thinking. Even the infamous Chequers deal’s been rejected by Brussels. Theresa May’s been given plenty of time to show leadership skills. She excels in hand-wringing, feet-dragging and kow-towing to the EU. But her heart isn’t in Brexit.
And her poor negotiating skills seem to be a deliberate act. She sidles into negotiations with an apologetic expression on her face like some bit-part actor in a gloomy pantomime as though all’s lost - maybe geared towards boring everyone into submission? But this isn’t a play or a game. This is about the future of the UK. This accidental PM has nothing to offer, no vision for the future and is totally frozen in power due to the warring Tory tribes and the nightmare proposition of a Marxist Labour opposition. As divisions within the
Tory Party deepen, the prospect of a leadership challenge increases. As Enoch Powell put it: ‘all political life ends in failure,’ but the problem is that ******* leading politicians never know when the party’s over and it’s time to leave the stage. The one thing Brexit negotiations have demonstrated is we simply don’t have the calibre of politician who can deal efficiently with this vital, complex task. They cope with insignificant matters, but when it comes to the ‘biggies,’ they’re out of their depth. None of them have any conviction. They just say what they think people want to hear in the hope of winning and then proceed to do what their donors tell them. Like ferrets in a sack. The country deserves better.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he sue the mechanic? My neighbour, a mechanic, offered to repair my car for an hourly rate. He stripped down the piece involved and I bought the necessary parts. He spent seven hours working on it, for which I paid him. He then decided he didn’t want to work on it any more because he is too busy with other jobs. I said that I could wait until he had time, but he said I should find somebody else. Do we have a verbal contract? Can I seriously threaten to denounce him if he doesn’t complete the job? W C (Costa del Sol)
Yes, you have a David Searl verbal contract, You and the Law and, yes, you can bring a in Spain case against your mechanic, but your prospects are not good. First, what does your contract actually say? Did your mechanic promise to finish the job, or only to work on it? Do you have a witness? You cannot ‘denounce’ him because he has not committed any crime. You would have to sue him for your financial loss. Your legal expenses would surely come to more than you can reasonably claim from him, and your chances of winning are small.

No ‘get you home tyre’ Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man LOOKED at my tyre and it was flat. No big deal - I can phone the grua or change it myself. So I opened the boot of the car to see what’s what and, to my surprise, there was nothing there. No jack, no spare wheel, not even the ‘get you home tyre.’ There was a bottle of some kind of gooey stuff and a contraption that you plug into the ciggy lighter and then fix to the tyre and blow it up which is useless if the tyre has got a gaping hole in. I didn’t even bother to try and read what you do with the gooey stuff. So why have they stopped putting spares into cars? To make them lighter, which in turn saves fuel apparently, and a few other BS reasons. I was happy with the skinny ‘get you home chap’ that you used to get but to be stranded with nothing is a bit dumb if you ask me. I liked having that option. Why does everyone know better than the consumer? Because no one I’ve asked thinks it’s a good idea. If you do, please let me know why. Although I have a house phone, I use my mobile for nearly all my calls. When I got my bill this month I had a few Spanish calls that I had to
pay for which is unusual because I have a contract that includes all Spanish land lines for free. But of course, that doesn’t include 901 or 902 numbers, which is a nuisance because my car insurance company and many other services I use have those numbers. My tip is to go online and find the alternative number, which they all have, that you can then use your mobile to call them. Why don’t companies just change to a ‘normal’ number which would seem logical? However, phone companies offer incentives in order to avoid this happening. In this way the phone company can offer their flat rate tariffs to the public, but know that the majority of people will need to call a 901 or 902 number from time to time. Conned again! Here is another thing to watch out for that happened to me. I got a call from an 8xx number. It rang a couple of times then stopped. Now as I’ve been round the block a few times I didn’t do what a lot of people would do and ring it back because, somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered reading about a scam where this happens and you call it back and get put on hold after being told some cock and bull story and finish getting charged €3-400 for calling this premium number. As Shaw Taylor would say on Police 5 ‘keep ‘em peeled’ and if you remember that, well done. mikesenker@gmail.com

TECH FOR THE TIMID THE astonishing thing about last month’s headlines is not that Spain’s new submarines initially couldn’t float, nor that they won’t fit in their dock. It’s that the darn things work at all, given the squintillions of technical calculations which go into designing them, and the tendency of Murphy’s Law to work overtime in our utterly techno-dependent world. Spain’s minor maritime mishap almost pales into insignificance compared to just how badly NASA screwed up and lost their $125 million Mars orbiter spacecraft in 1999 - because contractor Lockheed Martin was using imperial measurements while NASA was on metric. Oops. How about the Italian ocean liner which couldn’t get out of the shipyard a while back because someone forgot a bridge was in the way? There was Microsoft’s catastrophic Windows ME, consistently voted one of the worst tech products of all time (and let’s not mention Windows Vista).

Or the utterly ill-conceived Amstrad E-mailer in 2000, apparently so bad that rather than wait to hear Alan Sugar ’s famous words, ‘You’re fired!,’ Amstrad CEO Bob Watkins actually fired himself. More recently we’ve had the €400 Juicero which flopped so unsurprisingly when users found they could squeeze the juice better themselves by hand. Or the electronic spaghetti fork which disappeared
from sale last year just before I could add it to my Christmas list. Take the appalling Magellan GPS (please!) that I bought at a bargain price in London’s Tottenham Court Road back at the turn of the century. Never mind something fishy about the price; I should have smelled a whole aquarium. I can still hardly believe that a major manufacturer would put a product on the market which did not, and
could not, actually work - as a browbeaten technician finally admitted to me after weeks of badgering their Customer (Dis)Service department. But the all-time useless-tech product simply has to be the NoPhone Zero. It’s not a phone. It just resembles a phone. It’s a rectangular block of plastic that does absolutely sod-all. Apparently it’s a comfort blanket for phone addicts, who feel that familiar weight in their pocket, but aren’t tempted to pick it up and play with it because they’d get bored pretty quickly. There’s also a NoPhone Selfie which has a mirror strapped to the front, and the very latest just off the production line: the NoPhone Air which is literally just an empty bag of packaging. If you’re among the 15,000 people so far who have shelled out around €15 for one of these revolutionary non-gadgets, well, let me talk to you about that bridge I’m still trying to sell.

The $25m laptop LITTLE did the American civil servant realise when his work laptop was burgled from his home in 2006, that it would cost his government over $25 million. The laptop held all the details of 17.5 million veterans. In a desperate scramble to contain the data breach the authorities set up call-centres, mailed millions of notifications, engaged creditmonitoring services for those affected, and paid $20 million to the victims. By contrast, the bill for ensuring that Hawaii never again suffers the mass panic induced by last January’s incoming-missile false alarm, came to just over $200. That’s what it cost for a programmer to add a few lines of code asking the duty operator if he was really, REALLY sure he wanted to press that big red button.
Living by numbers, please pass it on! Marbella Moments by Nicole King I HAVE four or five columns half written but every time I go to finish one or the other something else happens that takes priority. Such is the case again this week. It is only when we lose our keys that we think of looking for a locksmith, it is only when we have kids that we take an interest in schools, it’s only when we want a transport company we think of looking for a suitable company. I have now been very much reminded that knowing how to respond in an emergency should not be left until the ‘when we need it’ moment. When living in the UK as a kid I had it very clear that ‘999’ was the number to call in the case of any emergency. Even then I remember thinking how ridiculous it was to have to wait for the dial to return to its initial position to dial the next number, the last and longest number! Even as a child I knew that was potentially a waste of precious time. Now we have a 112 number that when dialled from anywhere in the

However if you don’t have a great head for numbers the list above can be overwhelming; so just make sure you know at least these two main emergency numbers: 112 and 092. Hopefully you may never need to use them but if you do, it will be one less thing to worry about. NB: For further peace of mind there is also an alert cops app giving a direct line of communication with the police if needed for yourself or to report something you witness. It also provides your location directly to the relevant authorities should they need to come find you and you don’t know how to explain yourself (as is often the case due to language barriers). https://alertcops.ses.mir www.marbellanowtv.com Facebook @marbellanow Marbella Emergency Numbers Call 112 Call 092 LEARN THEM!

NOW in its 32nd year, the Malaga Jazz Festival runs from October 29 until November 4 at the Teatro Cervantes. There will be seven great evenings of entertainment with jazz legend Billy Cobham coming over from the USA with his band, but this doesn’t mean that the other acts are in anyway substandard and the line-up is: October 29 sees a free concert (maximum two tickets per person) featuring performers from the Malaga Centre of Arts and Modern (CAMM) who will run through a catalogue of great 20th century composers such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Only founded as recently as 2014, CAMM is a school of modern music and jazz and the majority of the teaching staff consists of active musicians from different national and international backgrounds. The next night sees a performance from young British trio GoGo Penguin who are inspired by a mixture of influences ranging from classics such as Debussy and Shostakovich to others as contemporary and diverse as Brian

BILLY COBHAM: One of the greatest living jazz drummers. Eno, John Cage, Massive Attack, Radiohead and Aphex Twins. With three albums under their belts, they promise to give a true evening of entertainment with tickets costing €11 to €32. On October 31, American born Madeleine Peyroux brings her fivepiece band to Malaga City to perform her mix of jazz, blues and mainstream. She learnt her craft as a busker on the streets of Paris, but now nine albums into her successful recording career;
she will be playing numbers from her latest album Anthem. Tickets for this concert cost from €12 to €36. Frenchman Michel Legrand who performs on November 1 is without doubt a versatile composer of symphonic music, classical, chanson, opera, pop and soundtracks (for some 200 films), which have won three Oscars and 11 nominations. In addition, Legrand has an exten-
sive career as an author, arranger and jazz performer, and has worked with such luminaries as Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Lena Horne and Ella Fitzgerald. Tickets for this night cost €12 to €36. Possibly best known to the general public of all of the performers at the festival this year is Panamanian-born drummer Billy Cobham who has played with such performers as Miles
Davis on Bitches Brew and formed Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, but he has always had an eye open to rock music as well as funk and has jammed with the likes of the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix. He appears with his current band on November 2 with tickets costing from €12 to €36. Making a short break from his world tour to play at the Cervantes where he will promote his new album Que Bom, Italian composer and singer, Stefano Bollani will be showcasing his style of Brazilian flavoured jazz on November 3 with tickets costing from €11 to €32. Bringing the festival to an end on the following night will be American guitarist John Scofield who has played with almost every great modern jazz musician from Miles Davis to Gary Burton and tickets for his Combo 66 presentation cost from €12 to €36.

by Andrew Harding THIS week I will continue the discussion about B group vitamins: Niacin (Vitamin B3). Niacin helps the body utilise the energy that is present in food and keeps the skin and nervous system in good order. Good sources are; mushrooms, cereals, eggs, meat, green vegetables, nuts and beans. Symptoms of mild niacin deficiency include fatigue, canker sores, vomiting, depression, poor circulation and indigestion. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5). Pantothenic acid, like the rest of the B complex vitamins, helps turn carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose is the only carbohydrate that the human body can use directly, starch and sucrose have to be converted to glucose. B5 is also is necessary for creating red blood cells, various hormones and maintain healthy digestion. Sources include; mushrooms, legumes and lentils, avocados, milk, eggs, and cabbage. Deficiency is very rare and only found in the severely malnourished. Pyridoxene (Vitamin B6). Vitamin B6 is important in maintaining a healthy body and developing a healthy brain, so it is essential to make sure high levels are

Sources of B6 include beans, poultry, fish, fortified cereals, dark leafy greens, papayas, oranges and Cantaloupe melons. Severe deficiency is rare, but if slight can produce the following: A weak immune system, anaemia, rashes, scaly skin on the lips, cracks at the corners of the mouth and a swollen tongue. Biotin (Vitamin B7, AKA, Vitamin H: Confused? So am I!) This split-personality vitamin is synthesised by the bacteria in the gut but is also found in organ meats (liver, kidneys), eggs, fish, meat, seeds, nuts, it helps to keep the skin, nails and hair healthy. Biotin deficiency is rare. This week’s recipe is a Caribbean Curry, Curries are normally associated with India, Pakistan, Thailand and to a lesser extent, China.

Enjoy the live sounds of Bowie, Metallica and Prince TWO superb new September rock concerts have been announced for the Benalmadena Auditorium. On Saturday September 1, two tribute bands Spiders from Marbs and Purple Reign will be presenting their takes on the catalogue of David Bowie and Prince. The Spiders from Marbs was formed by members of the Costa punk band, The Reinfected, for a very simple reason. They couldn’t fit all of their favourite Bowie songs into the repertoire of Punk without fundamentally changing the idea. They decided they could double the enjoyment by creating a band just playing Bowie music, as he was the main inspiration for many of the members whether they grew up with him, or came to him later in the 80’s or 90’s. The name of the band is the clue to the music they play. Nearly all the songs are from the era when David Bowie styled himself as that androgynous alien, Ziggy Stardust, and his band was famously known as the Spiders from Mars. Thomas Henry moved to the Costa del Sol 15 years ago from Merseyside although he was born in Wales which might explain the quality of his singing voice. Despite the fact that he still looks very young, Thomas enjoyed a very successful career spanning 10 years as the top Prince tribute artist in the UK, although that doesn’t really give sufficient credit to a man who was told by the Artist himself that he was doing ‘Good Work.’ His band in the UK was named Purple Reign and

in his own right and then as ‘Sammy Davis Junior’ in the ‘Rat Pack’ tribute band which has performed all over the Costa del Sol. The untimely death of Prince Rogers Nelson made Thomas look at the reasons for him to revisit his earlier guise and apart from one serious contender in the USA he believes that he could become the European Prince Tribute. His nine-piece band promises to thrill all Prince fans and a night of Bowie and Prince has to be worth the €16 entrance fee especially as the first band comes on at 9.30pm and the gig will last until midnight plus. For those who prefer heavier music, the Metal Fest which arrives at the same venue on Saturday September 15 will perhaps be more up your street. Metal Gods are a potent support band for this concert - Masters of Heavy Rock covers, you can expect some serious ‘head-banging’ songs to get the evening underway and they will appear on stage at 9.30pm. The headliners for the night are Metallica Tributo,
a band dedicated to performing a tribute to the gods of heavy rock Metallica. Their set list is full of classics from Metallica’s most popular albums; Kill’em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All plus of course Metallica. Their stage set consists of almost two hours of the very best of Metallica, and they cover the most asked for songs by the fans of the band. Organised by Costa del Disco in collaboration with Grupo Mondo, there will be full festival sound and lighting rigs, so both events will sound and look amazing with the Metal Fest tickets also costing €16. There is plenty of free parking right next to the auditorium and with two bars as well as hot and cold snacks, you are sure to have a great night or two.

The fast talker
PABLO CASADO, the Partido Popular’s wunderkind could turn out to be not so wonderful after all. Like the Madrid Community’s defenestrated regional president, he has a very dubious Master’s degree in Autonomous Law to explain away. And it’s not only his political opponents inside and outside the party who believe there is something dodgy about the way he obtained the degree, as the investigating judge thinks there’s something fishy, too. Fishy enough to decide that there could be a case against Casado to pass on the case to the Supreme Court. Not because it’s such a heinous crime but as an MP he has the privilege of being tried there and not in a common or garden High Court. Casado wasn’t too bright a student at the demanding Jesuit-run ICADE Business School in Madrid by all accounts, and squeaked through with Law but didn’t manage the degree in Business Administration. Never mind, he is remembered as being very active in the Hall of Residence and for organising debates, all of which was good practice for his future calling. Being a convincing orator is all that a

Bleeding heart OH boo-hoo. Diddums. Should our hearts bleed for poor victimised Pablo Casado who could face prosecution for an irregularly-awarded Master’s degree. “What they’ve done to me they haven’t done to anyone else in the country,” he fumed recently.

The seven-year hitch CATALUÑA’S secession fanatics are never going to change their tune but there will be less discord even if there’s no harmony, so long as lines of communication remain open between Madrid and Barcelona. The president of Spain’s government Pedro Sanchez recently met Cataluña’s regional president Quim Torra and as expected they emerged without reaching any kind of agreement. This was the first meeting between a Spanish and a Catalan president for seven years but as Sanchez mildly pointed out, he was only doing what Spain’s constitutional and autonomous laws require. But Sanchez has pledged that until Torra’s government does anything downright illegal, there will be no more of Mariano Rajoy’s ‘this is in the hands of the courts’ handwashing. Regarding Gurtel and corruption, that attitude

lost him the government and it almost lost him Cataluña. The Catalan problem has never been the legal issue that Rajoy and his government turned it into. It requires, as Pedro Sanchez said, a political solution. What that solution is, heaven only knows and it could be as elusive as the crock of gold at the foot of the rainbow. At least Sanchez’s looking for it, which is more than can be said for Rajoy. columnists@euroweeklynews.com

Benefits of reducing watering in the garden ONCE summer is here the effects of the heat on the garden becomes apparent. It is usually too late to save poorly designed gardens without the need to apply a lot of water. Sometimes it is better to just let the garden survive the best it can and learn from the experience. What has enabled plants to survive the summer is what can be replicated to have a more successful garden the next year. One of the biggest problems is the incompatibility of the plants we like with the ability of the garden environment to grow the plants we want. The best solution is to learn to like the plants that grow naturally in the Mediterranean climate. They are many and varied. If you do some research to find the Mediterranean plants that suit your garden environment and the effect you want from your garden then you have the easiest of work to make a garden. If you have natural soil in your garden and the plants are native, preparation and maintenance of a garden is minimal. The need to water the garden will be greatly reduced. In a truly native garden the watering would principally be to establish new plants that have been introduced to the garden and assist some plants during extended dry and hot periods. Water use in the garden is minimal.

CONTROLLING WATER: Is important for the benefit of everyone. Normally we garden though to enjoy caring for plants and benefiting from the flowers, fruits and other produce which are not native to the region. We also like to attract and support wildlife in our garden environment. This increases the need to have more water available in the garden. To minimise this need, soil improvement is
the most important issue to retain moisture in the soil. Soil protection is also very helpful so a good mulch and appropriate shading of zones to reduce direct sun exposure of the soil and plants will also make a big difference to water retention. Application of water is also very important to regulate the amount of water needed to keep the
root zone of plants moist. Well designed drip irrigation is the most effective way to apply water just where it is needed with minimal time and effort. There is always a place for a hose to water just what you want and to ensure plants get what they need. The best times to apply water in summer is in the early morning and late evening to reduce evaporation. Capturing water for the garden can also make a big difference to supply and availability. If you can channel water into storage containers for the garden it will reduce the need for water from other sources. A large container can be enough to supply water for birds for weeks. Even hilling up ridges around the garden plants and trees can allow the capture of summer storm rain water so it does not just run off into drainage systems. In winter the ridges can be raked out if they are not necessary. The value of water as a resource needs to be measured against the value of the garden to provide the environmental benefits and produce to support our quality of lifestyle. Gardens are a haven for wildlife so providing water and moisture in a garden can make it an oasis for many birds and beneficial insects. Reducing the need for water however allows the benefits of water to be shared more widely. Responsible conservation of water allows us to have gardens for the benefit of everyone.
Watch out, wasps about AS temperatures continue to soar, a dip in the pool has never been more appealing. But one thing sure to ruin those long summer afternoons is a sharp sting from a wasp or bee that happens to have the same idea. While it’s tempting to kill them, they are good for the environment, and there are other ways to rid your sanctuary of the little invaders. Wasps love raw meat! So hangin g a sm a l l piece o f l e f t o v e r cheap steak or beef in an are a a wa y f r o m y o u r pool can help entice them away. Rela t i v e l y c h e a p fak e wasp nests are available and can be hung around the pool area. Be sure to place them early in the season before they start building their own nests. But if a large group of the insects have moved in, call in a removal pro.
BUZZ OFF: Stinging insects can be a pain.
Bees are a bit e a s ie r to re mo v e w ith out having to destroy them. They are basically looking for a drink, so set up an alternative water source. Keep it going all summer and put a small stone inside in case a bee falls in. It’s important to set it up
be fore you open your pool for the season so they already ha ve a n e s ta blis he d water source. While tumble dryer sheets s me ll nic e to us , be e s ha te them.
Arrange them a round your pool in ba s ke ts or us e unde rneath other objects to keep the bees at bay, but change them weekly. A ga in, if the s e s olutions don’t work, call an exterminator who can humanely remove the nest.

Advertising Feature NOT everyone knows that taking out a home policy is not mandatory except when the house is mortgaged. That is the only situation that requires a person to have a policy which protects their home in Spain. However, it is worth saying that, although it is not mandatory, it is advisable and necessary to be prepared for any eventuality. Our home is our most precious asset and if we want to avoid surprises and unforeseen events, it is important to get an insurance that gives us the peace of mind knowing that whatever happens in our home there will be someone who is responsible for solving it. The first thing you should know is that you do not have to contract your home insurance with the entity that is granting you the mortgage but you can compare prices in the market and hire the product which provides the coverage that best suits your needs. Until a couple of years ago, banking entities could condition their mortgage lending with an ‘obligation’ to contract some linked products, such as the Home insurance. But now, with the approval by the European Parliament of the Mortgage Credit Directive, banks are prohibited by law from linking a mortgage to the purchase of insurance.
Our house, our refuge, our castle... In short, our home Your insurance company might include a clause in your policy registering your lending bank as mortgage beneficiary, to cope with the request of the bank. Then, the key question is, what is the best insurance for my house? In this article we give you the keys so that you can make the best decision when taking out your home policy insurance. The value of the Building There are two criteria to assess a home insurance policy: the Building and Contents. The ‘Building’ section of your policy refers to the costs of rebuilding your home, not to the market value or the cadastral value. However, it is of key importance to declare the whole size of the property, according to the cadastral property details. The value of the Contents The ‘Contents’ section of your policy refers to economic valuation of all the household goods: furniture, including kitchen furniture, electronic de-
vices, musical instruments, jewellery or other objects of special value. Check that the imputed valued of the content can cover the value of all those things. Although in many cases the sentimental value is higher than the economic one, the best advice is to add all the important items in the content to secure them. Special features Besides worrying about the Building and the Contents, there are other very interesting and useful covers to consider that not all insurance companies offer. Liberty Seguros is offering among others the following great covers: • Up to €1,000 compensation for the additional water consumption costs due to water leakage when you take out their premium home policy. • An unrivalled DIY Service, to avoid the hassle of assembling packed furniture, fitting curtain poles, hanging pictures, etc. • Damage to your garden furniture,
even if it has been damaged by adverse weather conditions. • Your goods will be insured on a ‘value as new basis.’ • Legal defence, claims for damages and IT assistance service. • Home assistance, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with just a simple and FREE telephone call on 900 243 657, in English or German. • A return ticket to your home in Spain, if you are abroad in your home country should an unforeseen claim happen. Apart from all these advantages, Liberty Seguros has an extensive network of over 300 brokers and agents
who are dedicated to providing unbiased, friendly and expert advice, because every home is different and such an important decision deserves a face to face chat with a professional insurance advisor, in your own language, to discuss the most suitable cover for your home in the sun. With insurance, not only for home, but also car, life, pet, business, commercial, leisure, public liability and personal injury, Liberty Seguros is considered by far, the expat’s number one choice in Spain today.

How dogs could give you a killer disease: Superbugs. Parasites.
David THE Dogman columnists@ewnmediagroup.com
THEY are mankind’s loyal companions. But according to a new study, dogs could be a serious risk to our lives. Last week, vets warned that many people are overlooking the potentially deadly diseases we could catch from our pets. They carry and spread salmonella, and can infect us with parasites, fungal infections, tapeworm, roundworm and superbugs. Furious pet owners say the benefits of a dog far outweigh any health risks. So are the vets right? Tuberculosis If dogs come into contact with an infected cow, get into a fight with a diseased badger or eat meat infected with the bacteria, they can develop tuberculosis - and pass the potentially deadly lung disease on to you. The risks are tiny, but real. In 2013, a child caught TB from a family dog in Gloucestershire. The child, who was under 10, made a full recovery, but the dog was put down. Roundworms Two-thirds of public playgrounds are thought to be contaminated with roundworm eggs - stomach-churning parasites that grow up to 14in long in canine guts. PETS make great holiday companions. For some people pets are the habit of a lifetime. I must confess I’m of that tribe. While I founded Housesit Match.com to help pet owners and sitters meet safely online, I also love to pet-sit for ‘authentic travel.’ I believe if you see a new location from a pet’s point of view, you see it with a fresh perspective. I love to pet-sit People often ask if I use HouseSitMatch myself? I can honestly say that I do. While we no longer have pets at home we still use house-sitters to care for our garden while on holiday - some call it tomato-sitting! Recently, I helped clients close to my own home in Buckinghamshire, UK to care for their dog ‘Nuka.’ They had a wedding overseas and a last-minute arrangement between neighbours had fallen

‘REVOLTING’: Tapeworms. The eggs are shed in dog mess and survive for months on the ground. If you garden without gloves or eat food you’ve dropped on the floor, the eggs can end up inside you. Once inside the human body, the larvae cannot grow into adult worms, but migrate to the lungs, liver, eyes and brain, potentially causing serious internal damage and even blindness. “Roundworm look like cooked spaghetti and are probably the most common intestinal parasite in dogs,” says Vicki Larkham, a vet with the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals.
‘You know if you dog has them because they will be vomiting or you will see the worms.’ Deadly eight-legged ticks Most dog owners have had to remove a tick from their pet. The voracious eight-legged insects live in bracken and tall grass and jump onto an animal and bury their jaws into the skin. They can be as small as a poppy seed, but swell to the size of a pea as they gorge on blood. Getting them out quickly without squeezing their bodies or leaving their mouths behind is essential because many carry the bacteria for Lyme disease, which causes joint pain, lameness and a high fever. Dogs can’t spread Lyme disease directly to owners, but they can bring ticks into your home. Tapeworms Tapeworms are revolting. Some varieties grow 30ft long inside your intestines and live for 20 years. While most are harmless, one potentially deadly species called echinococcosis is putting people at risk in hotspots in Wales, the Welsh borders and the Western Isles.
Pet-sitting is personal through. They registered with HouseSitMatch and I offered to help. I discovered new and exquisite dog walks in woodlands not five miles from my home. Authentic travel The home owners introduced me to their favourite local places to visit and shops of nearby food artisans, bakers, cheese makers, honey producers all working locally with organic materials producing delicious food. I had my own personal tour guide in Nuka the dog, walking me
to stunning vista points in the Chiltern Hills, I followed her down the footpaths her owners favoured and she was my local expert guide. It was a wonderful experience, an authentic holiday literally walking in the footsteps of the home owners showing me new vistas. How we work All new members register to join our online HouseSit Match network. On registration we ID check every new member to ensure we know who you are, and in addition sitters are police checked

After dogs eat echinococcosis eggs in infected animal carcasses, the worms grow to adulthood in their guts and shed eggs in dog faeces. Dogs spread the eggs to people by licking their faces after cleaning themselves. In people the tapeworm causes cysts on the liver, lungs or brain, which can grow 12in across and cause organ failure and even death. It can take years after infection for symptoms to show. Caroline Reay, veterinary surgeon at the animal charity Blue Cross, said: “You can prevent tapeworm by the regular use of wormers. If you have a dog in an echinococcosis hotspot you want to worm it every six weeks.” Serious food poisoning Dogs don’t just use their tongues to clean themselves, they happily shove their faces into anything smelly - including dead birds, animal carcasses and fox droppings. As a result their mouths and guts can be a breeding ground for salmonella and campylobacter - the food poisoning bacteria that can be dangerous for young children and the elderly.

CLASSIFIEDS CHARITIES ACE CHARITY “El Refugio” in La Cala de Mijas is a registered charity. We have on average 275 dogs in our care and we receive no help from the Town Hall or the Andalucian government. We desperately need foster homes and adoptants for our many dogs, especially the small ones and puppies who do not do well in a big shelter. We are grateful for any help offered, including donations of food and blankets. Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736. Our website is www.ace-chari ty.org where you can view all the dogs in our care. SEPE the horse and donkey charity is open to the public at weekends from 10.00 to 5.00. Volunteers are much needed in all departments and are welcome at anytime. For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonli ne.net www.sepeonline.net AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155.

MOTORING FACT: David Hasselhoff’s car (KITT) in the popular 1980’s American TV series Knight Rider, was based on the Chevrolet Camaro.
1962 Ferrari 250 GTO: On course to break records A RARE 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is expected to sell for between €38 and €50 million in the RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale on August 25, making it the most valuable car ever offered at auction. Between 1962 and 1964, just 36 models of this ultimate racing Ferrari were built, and astonishingly, every single one of them survives to this day. The GTO was the final evolution of Ferrari’s 250 series, which began in 1953 and ended when the final GTO was built in 1964. The current record price for a car
bought in a public sale is €33 million, for another Ferrari 250 GTO (naturally), paid at auction in 2014. This Monterey sale takes place during the week of the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, widely considered the most prestigious concours event in the world. The car up for sale boasts an impressive racing history, including winning the 1962 Italian National GT Championship and class victories in the 1963 and 1964 Targa Florio. It retains its original engine, gear-
box, and rear axle, as well as its factory Series II body. “We are thrilled at the rare opportunity to offer a legendary Ferrari 250 GTO at auction,” says Shelby Myers, car specialist at RM
Sotherby’s. “Due to the evolution of technology and safety regulations that
followed, the GTO was essentially the final true road racer, marking the end of an era when drivers really got their hands dirty.”
RED HEAD: The sale could break the record for a public sale of a car.
Speaking the Berlingo FRENCH manufacturers have a strong record in producing nononsense vehicles, but the new Citroen Berlingo promises to be a cut above. Like its predecessor, it’s based on Peugeot-Citroen’s successful Berlingo/Partner small commercial vehicle, in this case the third
generation. It is essentially a van with the side panels cut out to create rear windows and the side-hinged back doors replaced by car-like tailgate, but it’s also much more than that. Inside there is plenty of practical storage space, including a classy overhead unit running the full length of the cabin, and underfloor cubbies in front of the rear seats. A copious glass area and a full length sunroof provides a light, airy feel, and while the stacked dashboard looks a bit basic, those who aren’t keen on a sea of buttons will be satisfied. As with the rest of the vehicle, the Berlingo has everything you need and nothing you don’t. The three rear seats fold individually, and are accessed by sliding doors on both sides, which are a real bonus. At the back, the huge tailgate opens horizontally to reveal 775 litres of luggage space with the rear seats in place. Overall, those looking for a no-frills, fit-for-purpose and excellent value family vehicle should look no further.

JURGEN KLOPP described Liverpool’s emphatic 4-0 victory over West Ham as “better than I could have expected,” as Mohamed Salah’s goal set Liverpool on their way to their biggest opening home league win since 1932. The Reds’ superiority was clear from the start and they doubled their advantage when Sadio Mane turned in James Milner’s cut-back from six yards. The Senegalese forward added his second early in the second half when he latched onto Roberto Firminho’s clever through pass and guided the ball into the bottom corner. In a game which saw Naby Keita impress in midfield for Liverpool, substitute Daniel Stur-

Liverpool will travel to Crystal Palace on Monday, while West Ham host Bournemouth on Saturday. Arsenal were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in the Gunners’ first competitive game without Arsene Wenger in
charge since 1996. Raheem Sterling put City ahead in the 14th minute when he rifled home from the edge of the area, and Arsenal rarely threatened afterwards. City appeared to be able to shift gears at will, and killed off the game when Benjamin Mendy, who assisted both goals, pulled the

ball back for Bernardo Silva to blast in a second. Arsenal have another tough game at Chelsea on Saturday, while City will entertain Huddersfield on Sunday. For their part Chelsea enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Huddersfield, despite leaving World Cup heroes Eden Hazard and Olivier Giroud on the bench. A volley from N’Golo Kante, a penalty from debutant Jorginho and a late third from Pedro gave new manager Maurizio Sarri an ideal start to the campaign. Manchester United praised ‘monster’ Paul Pogba after he scored the opening goal and controlled the game in the 2-1 win over Leicester City. Left back Luke Shaw then scored the first senior goal of his career after converting Juan Mata’s aerial pass to double their lead. Substitute Jamie Vardy headed a late consolation for the Foxes, after Ricardo Perreira’s cross had hit a post. United will head to Brighton on Sunday, with Leicester hosting Wolves on Saturday. Other fixtures this weekend will see Fulham head to Tottenham on Saturday, Everton host Southampton, and West Ham entertain Bournemouth.

RELENTLESS RAFA: Nadal celebrates yet another tournament victory in Toronto. MINI MAESTRO: Lionel Messi will once again be key to Barcelona’s success. BARCELONA will look to extend their spell of domestic dominance in La Liga, but the likes of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will be keen to put a stop to it. The Catalan club cruised to the title last season, scoring 99 goals and losing just once, while Real Madrid claimed the Champions League crown for the third year in a row. Barca kick off their title defence at home against Alaves, and they are firm
favourites to continue where they left off in April. Diego Simeone’s Atletico side will be hoping to make their mark in the league, and they are the only other side outside Barca and Real to have won it in the last 14 years. But of all the title contenders, it is Atletico who have the trickiest start, taking on Valencia who have big expectations of their own. There may be a period of
adjustment at the start of the season for Real, who lost both Cristiano Ronaldo and manager Zinedine Zidane in the summer. H o w e v e r, L o s B l a n c o s will not accept a whole season of transition and Welsh forward Gareth Bale will be expected to fill Ronaldo’s sizeable scoring shoes. T h e y k i c k o ff t h e i r d o mestic campaign at home against Getafe, a game which should cause them few problems.
Nadal aces Rogers Cup WORLD number one Rafael Nadal beat unseeded Stefanos Tsitsipas to win the Rogers Cup in Toronto, bringing the Greek’s stunning run to an end. Tsitsipas, who turned 20 on Sunday, beat Dominic Thiem, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev en route to the final but lost 6-2 7-6 (7-4) against the Spanish great. Tsitsipas, who was the first unseeded finalist in Canada since Germany’s Nicolas Kiefer in 2008, has won new fans with some brilliant shot making and an extrovert personality. But Nadal, 32, was in no mood to pander to the crowd, who were firmly behind the birthday boy appearing in his first Masters Series final.
The French Open champion raced through the first set, but was broken for the first time when serving for the match at 5-4 in the second set. That handed the momentum to Tsitsipas, who then had a set point at 6-5 only for Nadal to benefit from a net-cord volley. Nadal regrouped in the tie-break to win his 80th ATP Tour title, sinking to his knees and roaring to the skies. Earlier, Romania’s Simona Halep beat American Sloane Stephens in three sets to win the women’s event in Montreal. In a rerun of the French Open final in June, Halep eventually came out on top 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 6-2.

GREAT BRITONS: The GB men’s and women’s teams celebrate their wins. BRILLIANT BARCA: The Catalans celebrate their sixth Super Cup win in nine years.
Barca edge Sevilla in Super Cup MARC-ANDRE TER STEGEN saved a last-minute penalty as Barcelona beat Sevilla 2-1 to win the Spanish Super Cup in Tangier, Morocco. Pablo Sarabia put Sevilla ahead when the video assistant referee gave a goal which had been ruled out for offside. But Gerard Pique levelled from close range and Ousmane Dembele then fired Barca into the lead. Sevilla had a late penalty
when Ter Stegen fouled Aleix Vidal but he held Wissam Ben Yedder ’s weak spotkick. Barcelona have been involved in nine of the last 10 Super Cups, but this was the first to take place over just one leg and in a foreign country. Sevilla, under new boss Pablo Machin, were impressive and led after Sarabia received Luis Muriel’s pass and placed it past the goalkeeper
early on, with a goal eventually awarded following a VAR review. Barca equalised late in the first half when Lionel Messi’s free-kick hit the post and the back of goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik, and Pique poached the rebound. But it was Dembele who sealed the game when he drilled a fierce shot home from 20 yards via the underside of the crossbar in the 79th minute.
Los Olivos and Los Lagos Mijas Golf CostaLessGolf Weekly News with
Ron Garrood MIJAS GOLF is one of the most commercial golf resorts on the Costa del Sol, with two walkable courses. Los Olivos opened in 1984 and was refurbished by Cabell Robinson during the season 2000/2001, following Trent Jones’ original design concept. It is most notable for the multitude of trees, with fewer water hazards, this 18-hole course is nevertheless very challenging. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended by bunkers, and the strategic narrow tree lined fairways and elevated green demand accuracy and skill. Los Lagos, the longer of the two courses with 6,536 metres was totally refurbished in 2012 and has kept the original design. Los Lagos is a course with soft slopes, wide fairways and few forest trees obstacles, but defended by many bunkers and not less than nine lakes, from which the course gets its name. The greens are large and flat with sensi-

Asher-Smith sprints into history DINA ASHER-SMITH won her third gold medal of the European Championships as she led Great Britain to victory in the women’s 4x100m relay final in Berlin. The 100m and 200m champion ran a superb final leg to pass Germany, Switzerland and Netherlands in the final 30 metres for a fitting end to her campaign. As a result Asher-Smith became the first woman since German Katrin Krabbe in 1990 to win three European sprint titles at one championship.
Britain then won the men’s 4x100m relay in the final event of the competition. Laura Muir took 1,500m gold for her first major outdoor title, with teammate Laura Weightman claiming bronze. Another Briton, Eilish McColgan, clinched silver in a dramatic women’s 5,000m final, and the five medals on Sunday meant Great Britain finished top of the athletics table with 18: seven gold, five silver and six bronze. They finished second in the overall table, behind Russia, winning 74 medals.

WINNING GRIN: James Anderson is closing in on the alltime Test wicket-taking record. Only once has a team come back to overturn a 2-0 deficit to win a Test series, and that was an Australia side that contained Donald Bradman in the 193637 Ashes. There are also concerns for India over the fitness of captain Virat Kohli, who received treat-
ment on the field for a sore back after missing much of the morning session. Questions still remain over England’s top order - they were struggling at 89-4 on Saturday but Woakes’ all-round performance is a promising sign for the hosts.

ENGLAND completed an emphatic innings and 159-run victory over India at Lord’s to take a 2-0 series lead. James Anderson took 4-23 to finish with nine wickets in the match and Stuart Broad shone with 4-44 as India were bowled out for 130. The hosts had declared on 396-7, with Chris Woakes finishing on 137 not out, before Anderson reduced India to 172. Rain delayed play twice but India lost wickets regularly and Woakes took the final scalp to secure a crushing win. England enjoyed the better of the bowling conditions in the match, but India produced two dismal batting performances. Ravichandran Ashwin and Hardik Pandya’s 55-run partnership for the seventh wicket was India’s only real stand of the innings and the tourists never looked comfortable under grey skies at Lord’s.

Chadwick makes history in British F3 JAMIE CHADWICK says her British Formula 3 win shows there needs to be a “step forward” in getting more women involved. The 20-year-old Briton became the first woman to win a British F3 race on Saturday. In doing so, she added her name to a prestigious list of former winners who include F1 legends Ay r t o n S e n n a , M i k a Hakkinen and Daniel Ricciardo. In a male-dominated s p o r t i t w a s C h a d w i c k ’s older brother Ollie who

To g e t h e r w i t h t e a m mate Ross Gunn they secured the British GT4 title in their first year, and Chadwick became the youngest driver and first female to win the title. She moved to single seaters in 2017 and made the podium in the British F3 Championship in her
first season, eventually finishing ninth in the championship. Chadwick says apart from a different changing room, she is treated no differently in the paddock. “My engineer says he deals with me like every other racing driver and that is exactly how I wanted to be treated,” she said. “It does require a lot of backing, but if the right person comes along, there is no reason why a female can’t make it in F1,” added Chadwick.
