Brit gang nabbed

DEADLY: Scores of animals were killed by the tornado.

Freak tornado wreaks havoc SCIENTISTS have arrived in the Malaga town of Campillos to investigate the ferocity of a tornado that ripped through the area leaving behind piles of rubble and scores of dead livestock.

The twister skirted round t h e t o w n o n M o n d a y, s o limiting damage, but many farm buildings were seriously damaged. Reports say 70 goats were killed when their shed collapsed, and several cattle suffered the same fate.

Now the Malaga Provincial Government has promised to help all munici p a l i t i e s a ff e c t e d b y t h e

storm, which dumped heavy rain on the region and brought flooding with it.

Large quantities of olive and other crops were also lost in the Sierra de Yeguas when heavy hail crashed to the ground.

Meterologists from central government are now examining the damage to

quantify the severity of the tornado and the storm.

Apart from the scientific information they will gather there is also the question of whether insurance companies will pay up, or if it is termed an act of God, meaning compensation will be paid by the consortium for natural disasters.

A BRITISH gang that was holed up in Istan is one of six drugs organisations rolled up by police in a massive operation.

In total, 85 people have been arrested and 5,200 kilos of hashish, â‚Ź141,000 cash, 49 vehicles, of which 26 had been stolen, and 17 firearms including an AK47 assault rifle were seized.

These organisations smuggled the drugs to Malaga and then to other Spanish provinces as well as to France, Italy and the United Kingdom.

The British gang consisted of four people with a base in Istan, near Marbella, who shipped drugs to the UK via the Santander ferry in removals lorries. Other gangs were Spanish, French, Moroccan and Algerian.

Forty searches were carried out in towns including Marbella, Manilva, Ojen, Estepona, Monda and La Linea de la Concepcion.

Kidnap ordeal in Marbella

By Dilip Kuner

A DANISH man, aged 30, has been rescued by Spain’s National Police after he was kidnapped and held for 10 days in Marbella.

Police cooperation at European level, through Europol, is said to have been decisive for the rescue of the man, who had been badly beaten during his ordeal.

At the time of his release, the kidnapped person had a dislocated collarbone, severe fractures to his right elbow and bruises and cuts all over his body.

A 23-year-old Spanish man was arrested accused of wounding, kidnap, illegal possession of weapons and membership of a criminal group.

BRUISED: Kidnapped man was severely beaten.

During the rescue operation police found a revolver, €3,835, precision scales, a packing machine and narcotic substances. The kidnappers had demanded €165,000 from the parents of the victim, who alerted Danish police. They had been given just six hours to pay or their son would die. Spanish police were then warned of the threat via Europol.

Racing against the clock, Spanish police managed to find the property where the man was held and put into operation a rescue mission.

They found the victim locked in a first floor room and an alleged guard, who was arrested.

The arrested man is also wanted by the Danish authorities for drugs offences.

Boy racer A BOY aged 14 has caused damage in a residential area of San Pedro Alcantara when he drove a car out of control and crashed through a wall.

Fortunately there were no casualties and the boy himself was able to exit the car on his own two feet.

The ‘foreign’ boy who did not know how to drive, started the car in the garage of a residential area of Nueva Alcantara, specifically the urbanisation Los Almendros II. He then apparently accelerated and shattered the car park door, crashed into a first wall on the garage ramp and then rolled over the gate and onto the Santiago de Compostela Avenue.

The vehicle sped further out of control, across the avenue where it finally went into the wall of the Laude San Pedro International College.

Culinary world map WANDERING through the traditional whitewashed houses and narrow streets of Casar de Cáceres in the northern region of Extremadura you would be hard placed to find anything extraordinary about your surroundings.

However if you stumbled upon the innocuous Museo del Queso in the centre of the village, you would soon be learning about the local cheese that has become world renowned for its unique flavour and manufacturing

processes.

The town of Casar de Cáceres has been producing the famous Torta del Casar for centuries and still does so today, using the same traditional methods they used hundreds of years ago.

Just eight families now produce the cheese which comes from the Merino and Entrefina sheep that graze on the local Cardoon Thistle that is common in the area.

The thistle was found to give the cheese a slightly bitter flavour

Drowning death A WOMAN aged 69 has died whilst swimming off Las Gaviotas beach in Benalmadena on Tuesday.

The 112 emergency services say they were alerted shortly after noon that a woman had been pulled from the water.

Medics and Local Police were sent to the scene, but there was nothing they could do to save the woman, who was pronounced dead.

This is the third drowning of the summer at the popular beach.

Last month a man was spotted struggling at sea. Rescuers used a jet ski to reach him, but resuscitation efforts failed.

On July 1 Briton Ben Lloyd, who was aged 33, died after getting into difficulties while swimming. An inquest heard that he died from drowning. He was visiting friends when the man from Harlow, Essex is thought to have got caught in a rip tide.

and a semi liquid consistency.

The sheep used are notoriously difficult to produce milk from, so it takes up to 20 sheep to produce just 2.2 pounds of cheese.

So sacred is the commodity in the area that in 1999, the local councils set up a protection project called ‘Denominación de Origen del Casar,’ to maintain the integrity of the cheese, monitoring counterfeit cheese put onto the market and giving official accreditation to genuine products.

Werewolf syndrome AT least 14 babies in Andalucia have been affected my ‘werewolf syndrome’ after taking contaminated anti-reflux medicine distributed by a Malaga company.

Called hypertrichosis, the condition leads to excessive hair growth in parts of the body where it should not be present, such as all over the face.

After an analysis carried out by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), it was detected that these preparations, intended to treat gastric reflux in infants, contained minoxidil, an active ingredient used to combat alopecia.

These cases led to the withdrawal of a total of 23 batches of Omeprazol from the company Farma-Química Sur, two of which had tested positive for minoxidil, while the others were removed from the market as a preventative measure.

Health authorities say that the babies affected should return to normal and lose the excessive hair.

Drugs gang busted

Credit Infoca/Twitter

4 EWN

By Dilip Kuner AN international gang that was importing 50,000 kilos of hashish a year into Europe via the Strait of Gibraltar has been broken up.

The so-called ‘Ginés’ clan has been completely dismantled, with 26 people arrested and three speed boats, nine vehicles, 10 firearms, €273,000 cash, a drone and several phones seized.

Guardia Civil say the drugs clan that controlled the trade on the Guadalquivir valley in Sevilla had teamed up with another from the Campo de Gibraltar who provided it with the crews of the semi-rigid speed boats with which they introduced hashish from North Africa.

The investigations began in August last year after police learned that a group of people in the towns of Puebla del Rio and Isla Mayor, were smuggling large quantities of hashish up the Guadalquivir River.

The breakthrough came last November when investigators discovered an industrial unit in Puebla del Rio, in which a truck, supported by a tractor, could launch a semi-rigid vessel. The tractor had a small crane to help with unloading the illicit cargo.

During the last phase of the operation, 15 searches were carried out in Coria del Ro, Isla Mayor, Dos Hermanas and Carmona, all in Sevilla, as well as in La Línea, Algeciras and Sanlucar de Barrameda in Cadiz and in the Malaga town of Manilva. Four searches were also carried out in warehouses located in Isla Mayor and Puebla del Rio.

FIERCE FIRE: The blaze was close to homes.

Marbella blaze A FIRE that broke out in Marbella forced the evacuation of 40 homes.

Flames broke out between the AP-7 motorway and the Bello Horizonte urbanisation in the Altos de Marbella area at about 10.15pm on Thursday, August 22.

At one stage the fierce fire was getting danger-

ously close to properties, but firefighters from the Marbella station and the Provincial Brigade working alongside 52 forest firefighters, four fire engines together with three auto pumps had stabilised the blaze by midnight.

This means the fire had been contained and people were allowed to start re-

turning to their homes.

At 8am on Friday the Infoca forest firefighting service had declared the situation controlled, although 18 of its firefighters, two environmental officers and two water pump trucks remained at the scene for several hours through the day for damping down operations.

Witness call

Droning on

A MOTHER has put out an appeal for witnesses when her 24-year-old daughter was left with serious injuries after allegedly being run over by a bus.

She was riding as a passenger on a bicycle being ridden by her boyfriend on Avenida Alcalde Clemente Díaz Ruiz in Fuengirola at 5.20pm on July 30.

It appears he lost control and she came off the bike and was then run over by a bus coming in the opposite direction. The driver did not stop. She has since had three operations for broken bones and internal bleeding.

A THREE-YEAR pilot project which saw drones patrolling the beaches of Los Boliches has been such a success the service will be extended to all seven kilometres of Fuengirola’s beaches.

The service, which is operational in July and August and whose cost is €17,901.95, has already acted in several cases. Currently, there are two drones, managed by qualified pilots.

They are used to back up the lifeguards in keeping a watchful eye on bathers.

The extended service will start from 2020.

By Dilip Kuner TEN members of an international organisation dedicated to the illegal trade of protected species have been arrested.

Nearly 200 animals have b ee n re s c u ed b y p o li c e , amongst them exotic birds, mammals and reptiles.

Most of the animals were b ein g k ep t in F u en g irola and the inland town of Ronda in Andalucia.

In a twist to the ‘usual’ animal smuggling trade, the exotic creatures were being smuggled illegally from Europe to Morocco and then on to other African countries.

The operation, coordinated by Europol and with the participation of Portugal, Slovakia and Morocco, was initiated following a comp lain t mad e b y a c itiz e n through the conservation organisation SEO/Birdlife.

This organisation and the

Nature Protection Service (Se prona ) of the G ua rdia Civil collaborate in the Europe a n proje c t Life Guardians of Nature, whose lines of action include combating the illegal trafficking of species.

Police verified that the arrested people bought the animals from different suppliers based in Spain and other EU nations and, after storing the m in a pe t s hop in Fuengirola and in a house in Ronda, they smuggled them to Morocco.

This investigation uncovered for the first time the existence of an emerging ma rke t in A fric a w hic h, through Morocco, demands a large quantity of exotic animals that are illegally imported, mainly birds and reptiles.

Rescued puppies lead to a small miracle IT all started as a normal daily stroll for a resident of Churriana, a walk in the countryside with his two dogs. By chance he stumbled across two young puppies who had been buried alive on the side of what appeared to be a small hill.

The puppies were successfully rescued and have found loving homes, but the miracle doesn’t end here. On rescuing the puppies, it seems that the place where they had been buried was a collection of ancient buildings: a church and prayer rooms which the Christians used during the time of Muslim rule.

The site was quickly visited by retired archaeologist Carlos Gozalbes.

In his report, Gozalbes has explained that in one of the caves there is a Mozarabic

church with three naves and several niches, and on the part of the wall by the altar there are numerous inscriptions and signs from the Mozarabic era,

although they are barely perceptible now.

He said the alignment of the writing and almost uniform height of the words could

mean that it relates to a particular time, and that would have to be researched and dated.

The other five caves which have been excavated were basically places of prayer for the Mozarab community “and were maybe older tombs, possibly dating back to the last part of Prehistory, which they may have been re-using,” he said. It is known that Malaga had a large Mozarab community from the seventh to the 11th century and it is often difficult to distinguish their items from those of Muslims during that period, but in this case Gozalbes said that it was Christian communities who used to favour hewing spaces out of the rock.

The local community stress the importance of preserving the caves.

Boris Johnson suspends Parliament with Queen’s approval

By Ben Mulvey

SUSPENSION: Boris Johnson made the controversial decision yesterday.

THE suspension of Parliament will be in effect from September 10 until October 14, just two weeks before the proposed date for Brexit of October 31.

The move was proposed to prevent MPs from blocking the UK from leaving the European Union, it is alleged.

The Prime Minister asked for the Queen’s permission yesterday morning (Wednesday) before sending a letter to every MP detailing his plans. The Queen’s role in suspending the parliamentary session was predominantly procedural and she officially approved it by yesterday afternoon.

In the letter to MPs the Prime Minister said: “This morning I spoke to Her Majesty The Queen to request an end to the current parliamentary session in the second sitting week in September, before commencing the second session of this Parliament with a

Queen’s speech on Monday October 14.

“A central feature of the legislative programme will be the Government’s number one legislative priority, if a new deal is forthcoming at EU Council, to introduce a Withdrawal Agreement Bill and move at pace to secure its passage before October 31.

“Member States are watching what Parliament does with great interest and it is only by showing unity and resolve that we stand a chance of securing a new deal that can be passed by Parliament,” he said.

“In the meantime, the Government will take the responsible approach of continuing its preparations for leaving the EU, with or without a deal.

“Should I succeed in agreeing a deal with the EU, Parliament will then have the opportunity to pass the Bill required for ratification of the deal ahead of October 31, he said.

The controversial move has sparked fury in the country with politicians believing that Johnson has ‘sidelined Parliament’ and Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader has accused him of launching a ‘smash and grab against our democracy’ and has written to the Queen to express his concern and request a meeting at the palace.

Boris Johnson has defended his decision by saying “there will be ample time both sides of that crucial October 17 summit, ample time, in Parliament for MPs to debate the EU, to debate Brexit and all the other issues.”

As a result of this decision the pound has crashed by more than 1 per cent against the euro and the dollar, several Tory remainers said that they would back a vote of no confidence in Johnson’s government and opposition MPs have suggested that they will not leave the commons if the doors to Parliament are closed.

Save the date IF acting president Pedro Sanchez fails to acquire sufficient support to form a government by September 23, there will a general election on November 10.

The PSOE socialist party was the most-voted in the April 28 general election but with 123 of the necessary 176 seats, Sanchez needed help that was not forthcoming in his July investiture.

He picked up one vote from the PRC regionalist party in Cantabria while the remaining parties of all

colours and ideologies either voting against him or abstaining. The abstentions included Sanchez’s natural allies, Unidas Podemos, after the acting president and the PSOE executive refused to consider the coalition they expected.

Sanchez is now talking to the political parties that are willing to talk to him and alPEDRO SANCHEZ: Needs support to avoid a general election.

Their journey now depends on next month’s events as the dissolution of parliament and a November election would combine to halt the first official visit by a Spanish monarch to the island.

so civic groups and organisations.

His strategy is to find support for a social programme too difficult for UP and its leader Pablo Iglesias to turn down.

Coalition is still not on Sanchez’s agenda and he makes no secret of fearing a Cabinet with UP ministers.

“There can’t be two governments in one, like Italy,” Moncloa sources declared.

The same sources admitted that although Iglesias faces a dilemma, he has the last word in avoiding a new election.

Sanchez declared, “September does not exist” during the first round of negotiations prior to the July investiture attempt.

While apparently ruling out a second bid, critics now claim he was already preparing for November.

Pressing for payment WITH an acting but not an elected government, expected transfers to Spain’s autononous regions cannot go through.

Cataluña is preparing to sue the national government in Madrid for not paying the usual advance on the region’s 50 per cent cut on IRPF income tax and IVA added value as well as 58 per cent of ‘special’ taxes.

UK’s new Ambassador to Spain

NEW AMBASSADOR: Hugh Elliott.

BRITAIN’s new Ambassador to Spain has arrived in the country.

Hugh Elliott, a member of the UK’s Diplomatic Service since 1989, succeeds Simon Manley as Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain and non-resident Ambassador to Andorra.

The Ambassador takes up this new role having previously been Director of Communications in the Department for Exiting the European Union.

On his arrival, Hugh Elliott said: “With a wealth of cultural, commercial, and people-topeople links, the relationship between the UK and Spain is like no other, and I am proud and honoured to represent my Queen and country here in Spain.”

For the Ambassador, this strong connection with Spain has been an important part of his life for decades. “I met my wife Toni while working as an English teacher at the University of Salamanca, Spain was my first diplomatic posting in the nineties and my two children were born in Madrid. I can understand why so many UK nationals have chosen to make Spain their home,” he said.

He added: “We are approaching an important milestone as the UK prepares to leave the European Union on October 31.”

His message was one of reassurance to UK nationals currently living in Spain, saying: “We’ve given EU citizens living in the UK the legal certainty of their right to live and remain in the United Kingdom. And I’m very pleased that the Spanish government has put in place, through the Royal Decree, the same guarantees for British citizens in Spain.”

“

I am proud and honoured to represent my Queen and country here in Spain.”

Mr Elliott acknowledged that people have questions and concerns, and undertook that he and his team would be working hard to answer them. He also urged people to sign up to the Living in Spain guide (gov.uk/living-in-spain) where they will find the latest, accurate information on Brexit.

Two key actions that UK nationals should do now is to ensure that they are correctly registered as a resident and registered for healthcare as a resident.

Hugh joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1989. A specialist in the EU and the Hispanic world, he has served in a variety of roles in London and at British Embassies overseas.

He first worked at the British Embassy in Madrid from 1991 to 1996, covering EU and economic issues. He then served from 1999 to 2002 in Buenos Aires, working on economic and political issues, and from 2002 to 2006 in Paris, working on global issues and strategic threats.

From 2006 to 2013, he worked at Anglo American plc, a diversified global mining company, where he was global Head of Government Relations, and where he worked extensively in Latin America, among other regions.

He returned to the FCO in 2013 to take up the position of Director of Communication, responsible for the FCO’s internal and external communication and public diplomacy work. From 2017 he served as Director for Europe, then Director for International Agreements in the FCO and until this year as Director of Communications and Stakeholders at the Department for Exiting the European Union.

Hugh has served in a voluntary capacity as a Trustee of the British Spanish Society and as a Trustee, then Chairman of Canning House, the UK’s centre for Latin America and Iberia.

Hugh read Modern and Medieval Languages at Trinity College, Cambridge. He is married to Toni Martín-Elena. They have two children, Edward (1993) and Alba (1995).

Luxury brands ‘made at home’ SPAIN is renowned for having some of the best beaches, tourism is after all one of the main industries in the country. Music, wine and the outgoing Spanish character is also well-known.

But it is important to add that Spain also has plenty of business vision.

In Spain there is a good number of entrepreneurs who have created luxury brands with the ‘made in Spain’ label which sweep across international frontiers.

Tous is one of the ‘made in Spain’ brands with most success. The jewellery and accessories brand has become an object of desire in

over 52 countries. The Tous firm was founded by Salvador Tous Blaví and his wife Teresa Ponsa Mas in 1920.

Loewe, one of the most representative luxury fashion houses was also founded in Spain in 1846.

When it comes to fashion Spain is perhaps best known for its high-street hits: Zara, Pull & Bear, Mango… the list goes on. But there’s much more to be known of the country’s fashion scene also. The iconic Spanish label Adolfo Dominguez is the brainchild of designer-cumauthor of the same name.

Dominguez, who had his hands in the fashion world

from early on - he took on his father’s boutique before becoming the first Spanish designer to launch an eponymous label in the 1980s.

And then there is the famed Manolo Blahnik. This high-end shoe designer has been producing his worldfamous footwear since the 1970s and counts the likes of Bianca Jagger, Beyoncé and Madonna among his fans (the latter once described his shoes as ‘better than sex’). Now in his 70s, Blahnik still designs each model himself and has over 25,000 shoes on display in his home in Bath.

A true fashion legend.

On the Ho Chi Minh trail A GROWING number of Spaniards are le aving the c ountry t o work i n Vietnam.

Over the last two years, there has been a 40 per cent increase, Foreign Ministry statistics revealed, with 584 Spanish nationals living in Vietnam compared with 351 in 2017.

These were modest figures, admitted ministry sources who added that Vietnam is becoming a serious employment option, especially for young people unable to enter Spain’s labour market.

It was the equivalent of the ‘Come to Ge r many, Pe pe ’ s o p opul ar i n t he 1960s, the same sources said.

country now maintains commercial relations with many western countries including Spain, which in 2011 signed an agreement to become ‘a strategic partner.’

Since then the links between the two countries have improved ‘considerably,’ the Foreign Ministry said, with Vietnam showing particular interest in Spain’s infrastructure sectors.

Many of the 584 Spanish residents living in Vietnam are Diplomatic Service employees and their families. The last two years has seen an increase in t hose m ovi ng t o H anoi and H o Chi Minh City for business reasons, the Ministry revealed.

A JET training aircraft was filmed crashing into the sea off the coast of La Manga, Murcia, killing the pilot.

According to police reports, the authorities received hundreds of calls from residents explaining that an aircraft had crashed just off the shoreline at around 9.30am on Monday morning.

Initial reports suggested the pilot managed to eject before the aircraft hit the water, but once the rescue team reached the wreckage the pilot was found dead.

A police statement confirmed the identity of the pilot being Commander Francisco Marín of the General Academy of Air of San Javier (Murcia).

It was thought that he was undertaking a training flight when he got into unknown difficulties.

Passengers affected by the cancellations are being offered their money back or alternative flight dates, Spanish press reported.

BREXIT BRIEF Divorce settlement BORIS JOHNSON has told EU representatives that the UK will not be obliged to pay a significant portion of the £39bn ‘divorce settlement’ that was promised by Theresa May when Britain leaves the EU. In an interview with ITV after the conference Johnson said that if the UK does come out of the EU without a deal then “the £39bn is no longer, strictly speaking, owed.”

The Sunday Times reported British Government lawyers had decided the amount the UK owed the EU is as little as £7bn whilst Sky news believes that this figure is closer to £9bn.

An EU spokesperson has stated that the full £39bn payout would still be owed even if the UK left the EU without a deal as it was money borrowed during Britain’s involvement with the EU. Boris Johnson on the other hand believes that the entire EU board is well aware that this is not the case.

Realistic solution must be found THE G7 Summit was a tumultuous event for the UK Prime-Minister Boris Johnson over the weekend as he faced Donald Tusk and the EU board of directors in a debate as to whose responsibility it is to take the first steps towards a new Brexit deal whilst insisting that the UK is well prepared to exit the EU without a deal.

Johnson was firm in his approach that the UK is well prepared for a No Deal scenario, stating in an interview after the first day of the gathering that the country could ‘easily cope.’ He was quoted by the BBC as saying that, “it all depends on our EU friends and partners” whilst Tusk expressed the opposite by stating that the ball was in

the UK’s court.

The Irish backstop was a

subject of great interest at the summit as it was one of the

main reasons why Theresa May’s deal did not get through parliament. Tusk said that he was open to considering new alternatives to the backstop if they were realistic and implementable. He reiterated much of what he and the EU directors said before on the matter, that Brussels is not willing to outright scrap the backstop that would potentially leave the UK in the jurisdiction of the EU. German Prime Minister Angela Merkel was reported as saying that there was the possibility for an alternative to the Irish backstop, but held the same position as Donald Tusk when eluding to the matter of whose responsibility it was to come up with the solution.

Werewolf syndrome AT least 14 babies in Andalucia have been affected my ‘werewolf syndrome’ after taking contaminated anti-reflux medicine distributed by a Malaga company.

Called hypertrichosis, the condition leads to excessive hair growth in parts of the body where it should not be present, such as all over the face.

After an analysis carried out by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS), it was detected that these preparations, intended to treat gastric

reflux in infants, contained minoxidil, an active ingredient used to combat alopecia.

These cases led to the withdrawal of a total of 23 batches of Omeprazol from the company Farma-Química Sur, two of which had tested positive for minoxidil, while the others were removed from the market as a preventative measure.

They had been distributed to about 30 pharmacies.

Health authorities say that the babies affected should return to normal and lose the excessive hair.

Crackdown on teen ‘packs’ REGIONAL officers from the Mossos d’Esquadra in Barcelona are clamping down on the ‘packs of youngsters’ that are patrolling the streets and targeting tourists to rob them of their valuables.

“It’s a new paradigm,” explained a source from the Barcelona authorities, “They’re packs of youngsters that go out to hunt.”

Officials say that the large spike in violent crime over the past year has been largely down to these gangs, committing violent robberies and muggings across the city.

Local Police have said that is it very difficult to catch and criminally charge the thieves as they often work in large groups of up to 10 people.

In May, the Catalan police established a specific team called ‘Poliédrico’ which is

Organ donation LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘opt­out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of poten­ tial donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures ­ ONT).

According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home.

It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation.

Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years.

Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas trans­ plants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day.

In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previ­ ous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid­2020 goal.

In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs in­ creased to 74, from 48 a year earlier.

Lung and heart are viable for 4­6 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and liga­ ments can also be donated.

A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people.

This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

Brit in Listeriosis investigation HEALTH officials are investigating whether a British man who was taken ill in Sevilla before being hospitalised in France is a victim of the Listeria outbreak in Spain.

The director of the Centro de Coordinación de Alertas y Emergencias Sanitarias (Ccaes), Fernando Simón, has confirmed that the possible first case of the outbreak of listeriosis abroad is being investigated.

The centre says that the English man is thought to have eaten the La Mecha branded ‘carne machada’ meat loaf while in Sevilla. He went to a medical centre in the Andalucian capital before setting off

back to England. But while en route his condition worsened and he was admitted to hospital in France for ‘one or two days’ before being discharged and returning to his home country.

After being notified of this case the health authorities are waiting for tests to confirm whether the strain of listeria with which he was infected is the same as that in the outbreak.

So far in Spain two people - a 90-year-old woman and man aged 72 - have died from the outbreak traced to the La Mecha brand.

More than 150 people have been hospitalised and hundreds more are suspected to have been infected.

Pilgrims rescued from mountain TWENTY Irish people required assistance after showing signs of exhaus-

tion and hypothermia whilst walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage.

The group became trapped and stranded in a mountain area by low level fog in the northern region of Navarra on Sunday afternoon.

The 20-strong group of Irish pilgrims also included four blind people.

After becoming disoriented, the leaders of the group called local taxis, which were not able to reach them.

They then contacted local emergency services, who found them at around 6pm.

Firefighters were dispatched in two vehicles to the tourists’ location amid adverse weather conditions.

While authorities evacuated those who were in most distress, the remainder of the group was guided to a hostel in Roncesvalles.

None of the group required hospitalisation.

The Camino de Santiago is a network of pilgrimage walks in north-western Spain which culminate at the shrine of Saint James the Great at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.

The pilgrimage, which can often serve as a type of spiritual retreat, has become increasingly popular over the last few years.

Young estate agents making their mark YOUNG estate agents are increasingly making their mark in the Spanish property sector.

Agents aged under 35 are expected to close 30 per cent of house sales in Spain this year, according to FIABCI real estate federation estimates. In 2018, estate agents aged 35 or less accounted for 25 per cent overall of the country’s 500,000 property transactions.

A greater ability to use technological platforms as works tools is one of the factors which

could explain the success of this age group in the property business.

“The property market in Spain continues to grow and there are increasingly more active agencies and professionals,” commented FIABCI Spain President Ramon Riera.

“There is very strong competition in the sector, hence gaining a competitive advantage in regard to a work model is key for development within the market.”

Parents arrested over deaths of two babies A COUPLE are under arrest over the deaths of their two babies at exactly the same age within less than a year of each other in Caudete in Albacete.

Spanish media reported that the pair’s first child died at the age of four months after several days in intensive care suffering from a head injury which caused a brain haemorrhage.

Four months later the mother became pregnant again, but the second child also died at exactly the same age as its sibling, 131 days, in this case from a perforated lung caused by multiple rib fractures, according to Spanish press.

The couple, who are both in their 20’s, are currently being held in an Albacete prison.

CLOSE TRAGEDY: Two men suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death rescued.

Sea rescue TWO men suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death were saved from the sea by a Gibraltarian police crew.

The alarm was raised by Spain’s maritime rescue service, Salvamento Maritimo, who informed that two men were missing in the Bay of Gibraltar. The police quickly launched a cross-border search and rescue operation. After several erroneous starts, informa-

tion was received from the LNG Kano that the two men had been spotted 6.9 nautical miles into the strait.

Crew on the Royal Gibraltar Police vessel Sir Francis Richards finally found the men nearly seven miles south-east of the Rock. Both men were clinging to a jet ski in the Strait of Gibraltar suffering from severe hypothermia and close to death.

“The initial report suggested

that the individuals were either dead or in very poor condition,” a police spokesman said.

Shortly after, the Salvamento Maritimo vessel Salvamar Atria arrived at the scene and the two men were transferred on board and given immediate medical attention by the Salvamar crew.

The police spokesman added that the men would not have survived exposure to the elements much longer.

Biblical floods hit Madrid HEAVY rains and hail rocked Madrid on Monday afternoon. Vehicles were washed away by the gushing stream in streets when the skies collapsed in just a few minutes causing ‘biblical-style’ flooding and scenes of chaos.

The storm started around 6pm and only l a st e d a bo ut 1 0 m in u tes b u t caused disaster in the capital’s streets.

Parts of the M40 and M30 motorways were cut off, while lines 5 and 9 of

the metro were also affected. Arganda, an area just south east of the capital, saw 40 litres of hail fall per square metre between 5.30pm and 6pm.

At least 50 vehicles were damaged and several vineyards destroyed. The president of the community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz declared a state of emergency and ordered the intervention of all fire units in more than 200 points of the city.

High and dry on the sand BARCELONA’S municipal police provided 174 ‘postrobbery kits’ to beachgoers whose belongings were stolen while they were swimming.

A pair of flip-flops, t-shirt, trousers and a metro ticket solved the immediate problems of victims who were visiting one of the 10 beaches along the city’s five kilometres of shoreline.

The situation was still more complicated for those who were using the San Sebastian or Mar Bella nudist beaches, police said.

The number of beach robberies increases each year, they revealed, as in 2016 they had to provide 20 of the kits between May and September, compared with 174 between May and mid-August this

year. The robberies also confirmed that what Barcelona’s deputy mayor Albert Batlle described as a ‘security crisis’ had reached the beaches.

This summer the Barceloneta police station in the city’s coastal district dealt with 853 reported thefts, 17 complaints of robbery with violence and 27 complaints that cars were broken into.

Couple jailed over deaths A YOUNG couple living in Albacete have been jailed after a police investigation into the suspicious deaths of their two children.

The couple aged 28 and 27 had been provisionally incarcerated since July 4, five days after their second son died. The autopsy revealed that the four-month-old baby passed away due to fractured ribs and a judge sentenced them to prison when they failed to give an adequate explanation as to how the injuries happened.

A year before this recent incident, the first son of the young couple was also killed at four months old. The coroner’s report stated that contrary to the parents’ claim that the baby died because of negligent malpractice in a hospital, the baby died from a skull fracture.

The investigation conducted by the Guardia Civil into the death of the couple’s first born is still going on whilst they are locked up in La Torrecica jail having already been convicted of one count of infanticide.

Female ‘biological man’ CASTER SEMENYA is currently fighting for her right to run competitively, after the IAAF ruled that women with a so-called difference of sexual development (DSD) would need to take hormones to lower their testosterone levels in order to compete.

The South African female athlete Caster Semenya has been called ‘biologically male’ by a member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) board of directors. José María Odriozola, a professor of biochemistry who is also the former president of Spain’s athletics body, made the comments in a recent interview. He said that Semenya is ‘biologically a man’ who has ‘a huge advantage’ over her rivals.

The comments have come when Odriozola was defending the IAAF regulations on limiting testosterone levels for female athletes - limits that do not apply to male athletes.

The restrictions on Semenya competing were temporarily overturned by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court on June 3, though the IAAF is trying to have them reinstated.

Critics say the IAAF has been ‘blatantly racist’ in Semenya’s case. Semenya has

As a result, she was told that she could either take treatment to change her

natural hormone levels, or else compete in any men’s event of her choosing.

Semenya has repeated time and again that she is a woman and intends to compete as one.

Justice is not free for communities

Community Law Corner

By José Luis Navarro Solicitor for Intercala Administration

joseluis@intercala.com www.intercala.com

with Pete Woodall, Woody’s Los Boliches

THIS is the time of the year when many communities choose to hold their annual general meeting, elect their president, approve the bud­ get for the year ahead and go over the accounts of the previous year.

Some owners are quite surprised to see ‘Legal Fees’ in the expenditure column of the accounts and ques­ tion why a community should pay legal fees. Un­ fortunately for communi­ ties justice is not free. It is quite possible for a commu­ nity to find itself in conflict with all manner of people and companies, common examples being, gardening and maintenance compa­ nies not doing their job or owners who are behind or simply refusing to pay their community fees.

Unfortunately these is­ sues often have to be re­ solved in court and this takes money. Understand­ ably there are different ju­ risdictions for different is­ sues; criminal courts for criminal cases, labour courts for disagreements concerning employment and then there are the civil courts. Civil courts deal with many of the issues that face communities, such as the non payment of

community fees, breaches of contract and compensa­ tion etc.

Under Spanish law all in­ dividuals are free to seek legal aid and should a per­ son fulfil the required con­ ditions correctly, the state can appoint a legal profes­ sional to represent that person at court without charge. Unfortunately com­ munities do not enjoy that same privilege. When a community needs the skills of a solicitor or a procura­ tor to instigate legal pro­ ceedings or defend them­ selves in a situation then the community has to pay.

This said, under Spanish law some court procedures do not require a solicitor or a procurator. For example, when a community wants to claim unpaid community fees from an owner for an amount of less than €2,000, then the services of a legal professional are not neces­ sarily needed.

However the Law of Hori­ zontal Property says, if a

community chooses to use a legal professional to help them win their case, even if the amount is for less than €2,000, the community can claim their legal expenses from the debtor. The ex­ ception is, if the debtor asks for and receives legal aid then the chance to re­ cover the community’s le­ gal expenses is lost.

In general when a com­ munity wins a case in full, the judge can order the other party to pay the com­ munity’s legal costs. How­ ever if the other party can show themselves to be in­ solvent then there is noth­ ing for the court to embar­ go and not only does the community have to pay for their own costs, they are al­ so not reimbursed for other expenses either, such as publications in official pa­ pers, the fees of an archi­ tect or translations. Some claims especially against banks, even though the community is successful, the sentence does not in­

clude costs. So not only is justice not free, in some cases it’s starting to look expensive.

Obviously the fact that a judge just rules against a community must not be o v e r l o o k e d . Ev e n i n t h e most straightforward of cases it is not unknown for a judge to misinterpret a situation or for completely unexpected reasons rule against the community.

Meaning the community will not only have to cover their own expenses, but possibly those of the other party as well and wrong as it may seem if the amount concerned is for less than €3,000 there is no right of appeal.

Although the rights of the community may have been upheld, it does not always follow that all justice for communities comes with­ out a cost.

As usual we advise the readers of our articles to seek proper advice in all matters concerning the law.

CONTROVERSIAL: A clinic in Madrid is offering penis injections to improve sexual performance.

Penis injections raise questions A CONTROVERSIAL drug is being offered to patients in a clinic in the Chueca district of Madrid to ‘strengthen erections.’ The Priapus injection involves taking blood from the patient, removing toxins and fats, mixing it with a ‘secret formula’ and injecting it directly into the penis.

The Doctor Life clinic in Madrid is advertising this treatment by means of a large poster of a muscular man with the slogan ‘Return to who you once were’ in the clinic’s window. The

effects of the injection are supposed to last for a year and aim to increase the size of a man’s appendage and improve sexual performance, although medical professionals have stated that there is no solid evidence that stem cell use in penis injections has any benefit.

The treatments costs €2,900 and although the waiting room is adorned with pictures of penises in superhero costumes it has been said that clients leave without gaining any superhuman powers in the bedroom.

NEWS

Top digs WITH 31 hotels in the area, Benalmadena has always been a tourist magnet but occupancy figures for July show it had the highest occupation rate in the whole of Andalucia at 89.76 per cent.

Not only did it see some 70,000 tourists staying in its hotels for a total of more than 400,000 overnight stays, but it also managed to lead the way in the average number of days spent per visitor at 5.6.

There were 37,000 visitors from countries other than Spain and the British led the way with more than 12,000 holidaymakers.

This also meant employment for 2,000 people.

All hands on deck SOME 25 boats with 150 crew are expected to participate as they spend 24 hours in Benalmadena waters as part of the challenge for the Costa del Sol Trophy this coming Saturday and Sunday.

This will be the ninth year that the event has taken place in the waters off Benalmadena Marina with two races for a range of yachts measuring from seven to 15 metres in length.

The first race starts at noon on Saturday and will not end until 9pm that night whilst the Sunday race starts at 9am and runs until 1pm followed by prize-giving and a special awards dinner.

This has steadily become one of the more popular regattas on the Costa del Sol and reinforces the commitment that Benalmadena has not only to racing, but to all forms of water sports for which it is so well-known.

TROPHY TIME: Announcing the regatta.

Visitors are invited to spend time enjoying the spectacle of the races and perhaps sample some of the food and drink on offer from so many establishments surrounding the marina.

Fire safety CONSIDERING the number of fires which have raged recently on the Costa del Sol, especially in Estepona, Mijas and Marbella, the Benalmadena Council has revealed that it has been the first municipality in Malaga Province to have updated its Local Emergency Plan for Forest Fires (PLEIF).

The council, working with firefighters has been looking at areas which were considered to be at potential risk of fire and where necessary has instructed farms, urbanisations and commercial undertakings to implement preven-

tion measures and to draw up self-protection plans.

In addition, council workers have been sent to clear up debris which poses a potential fire risk over four hectares of streams and ravines located at the points of greatest risk of fire close to inhabited areas.

Security Councillor Javier MarĂ­n said that although “the difficulty of preventing the onset of fires during the summer, especially due to the very high temperatures and the population increase is there, our actions place us at the head of the province in terms of prevention.â€?

CALLED OUT: Mijas firefighters had to tackle a dangerous gas lorry blaze.

Set 8 fires in Mijas A MAN has been arrested accused of setting eight fires in Mijas only to return later to help firefighters extinguish the flames.

The incidents happened between May 28 and July 13. It was at the last blaze that suspicious police arrested the man.

Investigations had found that all the fires had been set deliberately, so police started a surveillance operation.

On July 13, a new forest fire in Loma del Flamenco burned an area of approximately 6.25 hectares. With a hot dry wind blowing the potential of a much bigger blaze existed.

“Luckily, the fire could be controlled thanks to the rapid and effective intervention of the Plan Infoca,” said the Junta de Andalucia in a report.

On the same day, a man was arrested for allegedly starting the fire. At the

The report said: “The detainee’s modus operandi consisted of setting fires either by direct application of a heat source, or by leaving a lit cigarette on fine, dry grass, causing the fire to start after a slight delay.”

The report added that the alleged arsonist left

the scene to return once firefighters were tackling the blaze. He would then assist by helping manhandle hoses.

Investigators found that the same man had appeared at all the fires as a volunteer.

The man has now been reported to the courts for further action. Since his arrest there have been no more forest fires in Mijas.

Mural from 3,800 years ago IT’S HOT: Wildfires igniting across the globe.

ANCIENT CITY: A mural thought to be 3,800 years old has been found by archaeologists in Peru.

A MUR AL t h o u g h t t o b e 3,800 years old has been revealed by archaeologists in Peru.

The wa l l wa s f o u n d in side a p u b l i c c e r e m o n ial buildin g a t t h e Vi c hama site, north of Lima.

A tea m o f e x c a v ato rs have brushed away the earth from th e m u r a l t o r e v e a l figures that depict a toad

that wraps its hands around the head of a man. It is believed that the scenes reflect on the importance of water.

A rch ae o lo g is t Tatia na Abad told a news conference in Lima the mural represents the “announcement of the arrival of water.”

Excavations at Vichama have been ongoing for over a decade and continue to re-

veal new insights into the ancient civilization such as its advanced city plan and architecture.

The Caral is believed to be the oldest civilisation in the Americas, dating as far back as 3,000 BC. But little is still known of this ancient city.

The site is currently in an arid region of Peru.

The world is on fire IN the last week there have been continual news of fire outbreaks all over Spain, this news has been joined by the devastating images of the raging fires in the Amazon rainforest. Unfortunately they are not the only blazes shrouding huge swaths of land in smoke.

Wildfires also ignited this week in Alaska. Denmark dispatched firefighters to Greenland to control fires burning close to population centres. Major wildfires have also burned through Siberia, and environ-

mental activists expect them to set a new record for burn area in Russia by the end of the season.

Statistics suggest that part of the reason for these recent fires is the heat. This past July was the hottest July on record. Many parts of Europe shattered heat records: France, Germany, Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom. Intense heat which has dried out vegetation and left huge areas of forests and grasslands set to ignite.

Titanic wreck footage OCEAN explorer Victor Vescovo recorded footage of the famous ship 643-kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, where he visited the wreck in a submersible vehicle equipped with 4K-resolution cameras earlier this month. Images reveal the legendary ship is dissolving into the sea from the effects of salt water, strong currents and metal-eating bacteria.

Parks Stephenson, a Titanic historian who was also on the expedition, stated the worst decay appears to be on the ship’s starboard side.

“The whole deck house on that side is collapsing, taking with it the state rooms. And that deterioration is going to continue advancing.

“The captain’s bathtub is a favourite image among Titanic enthusiasts, and that’s now gone,” Stephenson added.

Bond film title revealed THE TITANIC: Images of the legendary shipwreck reveals a rapidly-decaying wreck.

The imagery captured during the exploration will also be used to calculate how long it may be until the Titanic completely disappears.

The Titanic was meant to be unsinkable, but it crashed into an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912.

Of the 2,227 passengers and crew aboard, only 705 survived.

THE 25th official James Bond movie will be called ‘No Time To Die’ - the news was revealed by producers on Twitter.

The movie, which will see Daniel Craig play 007 for the fifth and final time, will also star Oscar-winning actor Rami Malek as ‘a mysterious villain.’

Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is one of the writers.

No Time To Die will be released on April 3, 2020 in the UK and on April 8 in the US. The official plot summary

reads: ‘Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.

‘The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.’

Producer Barbara Broccoli said Bond’s attitudes to women would move with the times.

Gowex boss faces trial

JENARO GARCÍA, founder of Gowex is to go to trial and faces up to 18 years in prison on fraudulent share price manipulation charges.

The telecommunications/wi­fi company is alleged to have system­ atically invented an income stream that did not exist and therefore raised the company’s stock valua­ tion.

A high court judge has ordered that oral proceedings should begin against García, for whom the anti­ corruption prosecutor is asking for 18 years imprisonment, García’s wife and Gowex advisor Florencia Maté.

By Dilip Kuner Also involved in proceedings are the secretary of the Board of Direc­ tors, Francisco Manuel Martínez, and company administrator Ignacio Navarro, and the companies Let’s Gowex and Gowex Wireless.

The judge is also investigating three other people ­ Tania Roel Mosquera, Ramón Peláez and Hugo Daniel Marías ­ as ‘partici­ pants for profit,’ while he has cleared Guadalupe Esmeralda Almeida Figueroa and Javier

Martín Vaquero, people to whom Jenaro García granted the position of proxies of some of the related companies.

The Gowex scandal broke in the summer of 2014 after a report by the consulting firm Gotham City Research which warned that the real value of the company’s securi­ ties was zero euros and that 90 per cent of its sales did not really exist.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office also wants García to be fined €10.2 mil­ lion as well as the confiscation of the profits obtained from the sale of Let’s Gowex.

The promotion is available until September 1 to fly to all of the company’s destinations in the peninsula and the Canary and Balearic archipelago, from September 16 to December 15.

More information is available on the company’s website.

New boss SALES DOWN: Car industry is experiencing a downturn.

Car sales down

CAR and SUV registrations experienced a 37.4 per cent drop in the first 20 days of August, to 30,691 units, according to data from the National Association of Vendors of Motor Vehicles, Re­ pair and Spare Parts (Ganvam).

This sharp decline in the annual comparison is explained by the entry into force, on September 1, 2018, of the new WLTP emissions regulations, which led brands to give big discounts to reduce their stocks of non­approved vehicles. This generated a sharp increase in registrations in August 2018.

In the year so far up until August 20, the Spanish market saw a total volume of 839,850 units sold, which translates into a fall of 7.7 per cent. Company fleet purchases fell the least at 265,480 units, (2.7 per cent fewer), followed by hire companies, with 202,138 units, (­3.1 per cent) and private sales were at 372,232 units, (­13.1 per cent).

The chain, part of the Alibaba business group, owned by magnate Jack Ma, the rich­ est man in the Asian country, kept the open­ ing a close secret until a few days before it happened on August 25.

It finally announced the event through so­ cial networks as part of a ‘solve the riddle’ competition asking ‘What is going to hap­ pen?’

The general manager of AliExpress Spain, Estela Ye, commented last July in an inter­ view with Efe that it expected to finish the year with 10,000 Spanish companies on the platform.

Eurozone economic weakness EUROZONE economic activity continues to show signs of weakness, according to the PMI index.

The IHS Markit indicator stood at 51.8 points this month, c o m p a r e d t o 5 1 .5 p o i n t s i n J u l y. I t i s one of the lowest increases recorded in the last six years.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of the euro area saw second quarter g r o w t h o f 0 .2 p e r cent, half that in the first, and Germany recorded a contraction of 0.1 per cent.

In recent months, growth in the services sector had offset a decline in manufacturing.

H o w e v e r, A u g u s t saw a reversal and, as a result, companies were more cautious about hiring staff.

I n i n d u s t r y, n e w orders have suffered from a decline in exports (including in intra-euro area trade). In addition, confidence in business activity over the next 12 months fell sharply in August.

“Sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since May 2013, and has weakened in both manufacturing and services.

“There has been some optimism in France and the rest of the euro area as a whole, while German firms expressed pessimism about the outlook for future business activity for the first time in almost five years,” says the IHS Markit report.

Banks on Brexit alert THE possibility of a no deal Brexit is gaining strength and has put the Spanish banking sector on alert.

Santander, which makes 13 per cent of its profit in the UK, and Sabadell, owner since 2014 of the TSB are particularly exposed.

Both have prepared contingency plans for all scenarios, including the worst scenario. Their businesses in the UK are susceptible to a fall in economic activity and demand for credit.

A fall in the value of the pound, which has already lost 16 per cent of its value against the euro since the 2016 referendum and 2.2 per cent since Boris Johnson was elect­ ed Prime Minister is also bad news for the banks.

In its latest financial report, San­ tander admits that a no deal Brexit could have ‘material adverse ef­ fects’ on its access to capital and liquidity. It also acknowledges that it could have ‘significant repercus­ sions’ on operations, profitability and business.

To minimise the impact of Brexit, Santander agreed last year to move

WORRIED: Santander making Brexit contingencies.

Sabadell, for its part, faces the risk of a hard Brexit spoiling its plans to extract value from the pur­ chase of TSB, now that it has al ­ ready left behind the problems caused by the complex technologi­ cal migration last year. This caused an additional cost of €321 million in the 2018 accounts.

The goal is for the UK to con­ tribute 20 per cent of the group's profit by 2021, but that could be optimistic if there is a disorderly ex­ it. The English bank is currently run­ ning at a loss.

In its half­yearly report, Sabadell admits that if the UK leaves the EU in October without an agreement there would be ‘a significant drop in foreign trade for the UK’ and that

Powering Mexico SPANISH energy company Iber­ drola will this year start the con­ struction of a combined cycle and a photovoltaic plant in Mex­ ico, with an estimated invest­ ment in both projects of €677 million.

The combined cycle in Ver­ acruz and the photovoltaic park in the State of Puebla is part of a five­year plan that will see the company invest about €4.515 billion in the country.

Iberdrola is also studying pro­ jects in the region for another €903 million as part of its initial contribution to the Oaxaca Pact, signed last week by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin) and nine governors of the coun­ try, the company has reported.

The energy company esti­ mates that it will make purchas­ es from Mexican industry worth more than $3 billion dollars (€2.709 billion), which will help the country’s economic growth.

the economy would go into reces­ sion in 2020. In the first quarter of 2019, GDP grew by 0.5 per cent, but contracted by 0.2 per cent in the second quarter.

The group hopes that the Euro­ pean and British authorities will end up taking pragmatic decisions to avoid systemic disruptions in fi­ nancial operations, according to the report.

Jobless foreigner numbers down THE number of foreigners unemployed in Spain stood at 362,296 by the end of July, its lowest level since Oc­ tober 2008, according to data from the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE).

This was 1.2 per cent down on the previous month and 2.4 per cent compared to the same month in 2018.

In absolute terms, the monthly decline was 4,509 unemployed, while in year­on­year terms there are now 8,875 fewer foreigners unemployed than at the same time in 2018.

Of the total number of immigrants without work, 228,690 belong to non­EU countries, compared with 133,606 from EU countries.

Almost six out of 10 unemployed foreigners are women (209,924 against 152,372 men) and 94 per cent are over 25 (340,086 unemployed). In addition, practi­ cally six out of 10 worked in the service sector and 16 per cent belonged to the group without previous em­ ployment.

By Autonomous Community, Cataluña and Andalu­ cia registered the highest number of unemployed im­ migrants, with 68,941 and 57,856 respectively. They are followed by Madrid (52,918) and Comunidad Va­ lenciana (52,279) and the Canarias (19,594), Castilla­La Mancha (18,280) and País Vasco (17,279).

The regions with the fewest unemployed immi­ grants at the end of July were Cantabria (2,900 foreign unemployed), La Rioja (2,980), Extremadura (3,410), Asturias (4,946) and Navarre (5,963).

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I’M just not too sure about all this global warm­ ing, climate change and carbon emission con­ troversy. There is of course no doubt that the Earth’s climate is shifting. The floods, storms and melting Polar caps are positive proof of that. I’m just not quite convinced that the rea­ sons for these phenomenas are actually those that all the ‘greenies’ and tree huggers would lead us to believe.

After all, there were no carbon spewing au­ tos, jet guzzlers or farting livestock, (excluding the dinosaurs of course) when the world en­ dured its Ice Ages and oceans receded to reveal previously sunken mountains across the sur­ face of the Earth. One of the facts our ‘saviours’ of the planet seem to conveniently ignore, are the movements of the globe itself.

Our wondrous ‘spaceship’ does not revolve smoothly on its axis. It does in fact ‘wobble’ slightly. The smallest shift of such a vast body can of course have an enormous effect on its climate. This happens roughly every 26,000 years and, according to scientists, at this mo­ ment in time we are also in the middle of our fifth major ice age. Bearing all this in mind, it stands to reason that the climatic effects we are experiencing appear inevitable and simply

require us to deal with them as best we can.

I’m always suspicious of those who work in departments that earn tax payers money by spreading fear factors among the populace. Af­ ter all, if they can’t find anything to blame us for, they’d all be out of work wouldn’t they?

As far as all the hysteria surrounding the

Windsors using a private jet to travel to the Balearics last week, I do agree 100 per cent that, apropos their stand on carbon emission, it certainly reeks of pure hypocrisy. I do however; question the motives of those objecting the loudest. Can I detect just a weeny touch of en­ vy tucked away in there somewhere?

I wonder how many of them, given the op­ portunity to climb aboard Elton John’s private jet and be whisked off to party on a sun drenched Mediterranean Isle would give it a second thought. Mmm? I also vehemently dis­ agree with Elton John trying to play the right­ eous card by ‘off setting’ any pollution emis­ sion damage with donations to the somewhat dubious ‘Carbon Footprint Company.’

This is the unacceptable face of the privi­ leged and arrogant, basically informing us that if you have the finances you can do just about anything. A line of reasoning that would sug­ gest that it’s ok to drive down a high street in the Bentley killing and maiming pedestrians provided you make a large enough donation to the local hospital. No, Sorry Mr John doesn’t quite wash with me.

My heart went out this week to my beautiful daughter Rebecca and her partner Alba. Tragi­ cally their beloved pet was knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver outside our home.

She was a wonderful and captivating sweet ca­ nine soul. We are all totally devastated.

RIP young Molly. Sadly missed.

Car hire and a great deal more S O many car hire companies insist that you pick up your car from their office and return it to the same location, but Azza Cars offer a completely different option.

Although they have offices at Malaga Airport (which is of course very handy for those arriving from abroad) and Marbella, they also offer a delivery and collection service throughout the whole of the Costa del Sol. Simply agree where you wish to meet (for example hotel, bus or train station) when booking and their fully qualified staff will be happy to bring the vehicle to you.

There is a wide range of vehicles available at the best prices so if you want a manual or automatic, prefer petrol or diesel, need a large or luxury vehicle then Azza Cars are ideally placed to assist.

Rental is just part of the service from this forward thinking and professional company as nowadays, those who live in Spain don’t always want to purchase a

vehicle outright, but find it more convenient to arrange to lease a car or van over

a set period and this can easily be arranged.

What’s more there is even a lease to purchase option which could also be ideal for some local residents or businesses.

With so many vehicles in their fleet, A zza C ars have their own team of mechanics and they also offer a full garage service to customers who have their own cars and as it is important that their own fleet is on the road quickly and economically, this translates to an added bonus for those who want to use their services.

There is even an option for those attending special events who don’t wish to take their own vehicles, as Azza Cars can offer a driver service which will remove all worry concerning drink driving or finding somewhere to park.

All in all this is a professional company offering a much wider range of services than the average car hire company and they pride themselves on their transparent terms and conditions, which means that there are no hidden surprises when it comes to paying.

To find out more about Azza Cars or to make a booking, visit https://azzacars.com/en, email info@azzacars.com, or call +(34) 631 687 774.

EVERY year tens of thousands of unsuspecting travellers fall prey to the hard sell of their Holiday Hire Car Company offering them extra Collision Damage Waiver In­ surance, or Car Hire Excess Waiv­ er Insurance over the counter.

Find out how you can get cov­ ered, while not paying a fortune in the process.

When you hire a car, most car hire companies routinely offer you Collision Damage Waiver In­ surance when you book ­ and again at the pick­up desk. This en­ ables you to remove or reduce the colossal excess you’ll pay in the event of a claim for loss or damage to the vehicle.

The excess ranges from hun­ dreds to thousands of pounds per incident ­ even if it’s not your fault! This sounds like a no brain­

Hiring a car this year?

Premium cover for people be­ tween 21–75 years. Choose Single Trip, or opt for Annual Policy and hire as many cars as you like all year round with the peace of mind that your Excess is covered if you have a car hire mishap. Our Premium Policy has several other benefits like Personal Accident Cover and even Lock­out and Mis­ fueling cover!

Globelink Car Hire Excess Waiver In­ surance Benefits: • Avoid huge car hire Excess charges • £50,000 Worldwide / £5,000 Ex­ cess Reimbursement (Premium Cov­ er) • £10,000 Personal Accident Cover (Premium Cover) • Key Cover ­ if you’re locked out or lose keys • Misfueling cover • Curtailment ­ if your trip’s can­ celled or cut short • Tow charges ­ after an accident or breakdown • Drop Off Charges ­ if you’re hospi­ talised and can’t return your car • Road Rage & Carjacking Cover

MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WASN’T able do an article last week be­ cause I had to go back to the UK and over the next few articles I will remind you all why the UK now makes me extremely grumpy.

But this week I’m going to grump about emojis. I’m sure you all know what they are but for those that don’t know, they are the little smiley face things that pop up when you are typing a message or a WhatsApp. The trouble is now that it’s not just a smiley face. The reason I went back to the UK was unfortunately because one of my closest friends lost a family member. I was chatting to him on WhatsApp and I asked him what day the funeral was.

As I typed in the word funeral, up popped an emoji of a coffin! I couldn’t believe it.

What idiotic moron programmer thought that would be a good idea? I cannot imag­ ine how my friend would have felt if, for some reason, I didn’t check and I sent the message.

That then got me thinking about the whole emoji thing. I am reliably informed that there are a considerable amount of them that have a lot of secondary mean­ ings. My 92­year­old mother­in­law uses WhatsApp and is fascinated by the emojis.

However, my daughter had to tell her to stay away from the aubergines, bananas, cherries and peaches (Google them). I can’t list all the different ones here because the editor won’t let me but have a look online.

It’s crazy! I often get a smiley face or a sad face, but many times people send me a message with a picture that I have no clue what it represents so I ask them ‘what’s that mean?’

I got an upside down face?? Open your message app and have a look ­ I bet there’s over 50 per cent on there you don’t have a clue what they represent. Then there is the classic that so many people make the mis­ take of using.

LOL does NOT mean ‘lots of love.’ It means ‘laughing out loud.’ So do not do, as one of my older friends did when sending me a condolence message after my mum died, finish it with LOL. The whole thing is confusing, but one thing I do know is that once I just get an emoji or LOL as a reply to a message that chat is over!

NORA JOHNSON

Don’t write in slanglish if you wanna pass exams

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

IN a recent survey, thousands of tutors were asked why students they’d taught failed English GCSEs. The most common reason, given by 42 per cent of respon­ dents, was using ‘slanglish’ in exams, the most commonly misspelt words and phrases being ‘tonite,’ ‘summin’ and ‘pls.’

I’m sure it’s considered elitist, but what can you expect when your ears are as­ saulted daily by the mangling of pronunci­ ation from commentators on TV and ra­ dio? Some (not all) don’t pronounce ‘ing’ at the end of any word, ever, so you get: ‘I’m standin here in Downin Street waitin to see what’s bein said after this meetin...’

If you want kids to write correctly, then they need to hear the right things in the first place, right? There is, too, a traffic re­ porter on BBC radio who does exactly the same thing: traffic is ‘quein,’ ‘passin’ or ‘slowin.’ When a listener complained about this, he was reprimanded by a BBC functionary who said they were trying to encourage regional accents. Now, I’m all for regional accents, but this is just sloppy speech. But, to be fair, you’d expect that sort of PC nonsense from the BBC.

IN A WORD: Slanglish is sloppy speech.

And don’t get me started on ‘yoof’ pre­ senters. No wonder our children can’t speak ­ and therefore write ­ properly if their use of language is held up as being correct. Remember Tony Blair dropping his ‘t’s to be down with the yoof?

Messaging and autocorrect are often given as the main reasons for the current situation. Nonsense! The root of the prob­ lem is simply that kids don’t read books any more. So they’re never exposed to correct grammar nor have any chance to widen their vocabulary.

What hope is there they’ll ever learn it if all they ever see or hear of language is ‘txt

spk’ or the mangled noise of TV and video? While doubtless technology bears some blame for this, so too do govern­ ment educational policies that have by­ passed books as a primary aid to learning.

And the average yoof’s reaction to all this: ‘I dunno wot yr bovvered abt. Jst syin.’

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he withhold the minutes?

Our community consists of an aparthotel with 130 privately owned apartments. Three quarters of these are in a letting pool, which is run as a hotel by our managing agent, who is also the community ad­ ministrator. Because of the conflict of interest and com­ plicated money transfers, we agreed by a large majority at the AGM to split the residential community from the letting business. Our administrator disagreed so we called an EGM, which we won. We also had a notary and our lawyer attend. Now the administrator will not give us the official minutes book, which we need to get the minutes registered. I have been told that we can’t proceed with a court case against him until the minutes have been regis­ tered. Can you advise?

L S (Costa Blanca)

The min­ utes are property of the YOU AND THE community and the LAW IN SPAIN administrator is obliged to deliver them to the president. If your adminis­ trator is a member of the official College of Property Ad­ ministrators of your province, you can report him to the College. Any single member can go to court if he feels that his interests are harmed. Your situation is complex and you need good legal advice.

MARBELLA MOMENTS

29 August - 4 September 2019

To bee or not to be?

BY NICOLE KING HOW can one not compare a Sunday on a beach in Marbella to an army of ants, busy hoisting sunshades and make­shift pergolas to literally house the whole family, including cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, to feast, together, at the seashore.

For the owners of the restaurants and the beach bars this is not good for business as the happy campers block the stunning views. For many tourists it’s also overwhelming to see the beach disappear as towel after towel, parasol after parasol sets up camp and settles in for the day.

The truth of the matter, when one gets involved, is quite wonderful: the Spanish have taken picnicking to the next level and it’s fun! For the past two Sundays we’ve joined them and also set up our own ‘chiringuito,’ per­ haps not as sophisticated as some, but certainly sufficient to hang out all day, mix mojitos whilst any children can play safely in the shade and even

SUNDAY BEACH: We might feel like insignificant insects amongst the mass of bodies.

take naps; also ideal for us adults.

Between swims and siestas we chatted. Initially the obvious comes to mind: the ocean, the weather, the summer, how lucky we are to be here and then more serious issues arose. Just the mass of bodies in our faces made us reflect that although we might feel like insignificant in­

sects amongst the mass of bodies, that none of us are insignificant.

All our actions count and we, like insects, have an enormous impact on our environment and are more simi­ lar than we’d care to think.

Consciously or not we have all chosen to follow the behaviour of an insect. We are either a honey bee

which is productive, an excellent team player, conscientious in its en­ deavours and which only stings to protect itself or a locust whose only missive is to satisfy its own needs with no consideration for anything else in its path.

The choice is ours, but awareness is key otherwise we might never re­

alise this simple observation and know what kind of bug we really are and therefore not take the necessary course of action.

Perhaps if issues became more personal we’d take more notice.

How many of us know that plastic bottles carry numbers to identify how much cancer generic toxins they contain? How many seriously consid­ er that their drinking water is laden with micro plastics as a result? For that matter, how many of us know that governments debate how much plastic be permitted in animal feed so as not to ‘harm’ us. We either do little to find out or little to help clear up the mess or make a change.

Cigarettes butts came up in every other handful of sand and as they are also made of plastic can take up to 10 years to decompose, apart from also containing arsenic, lead and cad­ mium which are easily absorbed by all living organisms and ecosystems.

So, to bee or not to be, that is the ultimate question…

TASTY: Catherine’s gazpacho.

I SPOTTED a recipe in yesterday’s copy of EWN, Cordoba Salmorejo. As we love gazpacho I decided to try it, and I had in my cupboard a large tin of chopped tomatoes ready and waiting. So simple and quick to make that I recommend everyone who still has the paper to try it... I promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Olive Tree Farm.

HAVE YOUR SAY

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

Looks more like the young lad who had not driven before, powerful(ish) Audi A4 / A6 estate, likely an automatic so foot to the floor no concept of the power and flew straight through car park doors, smacked the wall on the bend and then panicked / left his foot down and flew over the road and in­ to the garden. Certainly doesn’t look drunk and his nationality is not relevant? Expensive mistake and a costly lesson, but at least nobody was hurt; bricks, metal and garden shrubs easily replaced.

Steven Clark

SPAIN has been ravaged by fires so far this year, but one thing can be said at least - the Spanish government does its utmost to supply the resources to put them out.

But turn your gaze across the Atlantic and the same cannot be said about the fires devastating large swathes of the Amazon rain forest.

G7 leaders at their summit in Biarritz would appear to have raised a few hackles with their comments that the disaster - if only we could call it a natural one and not man-made - must be tackled.

President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil in particular has not taken kindly to in his view being lectured on the issue.

He sees it as none of the G7 nations’ business and that they should not interfere in what he views as an internal issue.

The retort from world leaders is that it is their business.

With climate change an ever more pressing problem the Amazon needs to be protected and nurtured, not cleared for agriculture.

To their credit the G7 nations have offered $20 million to help fight the fires. This is to be rejected by Brazil who shoot back that the money would be better spent reforesting Europe.

And Brazil does have a point.

The fight against climate change starts on our own doorstep. It is a problem that every single one of us should take action over.

Now we want to hear your views.

Banks on Brexit alert WELL let’s just have a think about this 2016 when the people voted. Santander and other banks have supposedly got intelligent people working for them and only now have they realised these occurrences can happen. Banks are supposed to be looking to the future, but from my experience one might be better putting one’s money under the mattress.

Come on banks stop all this bullshit, you always come out smelling like roses. Advice, cut major salaries and payouts for incompetence because you and shareholders are the problem, not Brexit.

DEAR Editors, The rising worldwide concern with cli­ mate change and pesticide use prompts me to record my own observations since moving to Andalucia in 2005.

The biggest and most dramatic change has been in large predator/scav­ enger birds such as the larger eagles and vultures.

Up until a few years ago I would train my binoculars on the western edge of the Maroma mountain range and see both enormous species using the up­ draft to gain altitude, then fly back into the mountains.

This no longer occurs. I have not seen either species for years, a huge disap­ pointment for our visitors.

Smaller birds such as bee­eaters and crag­martins also would flock in this area in quite high numbers, often noisily seeming to interact. Again, a thing of the past, I see them occasionally in small numbers at this time of year.

A similar story with insects. Up until a few years back, ants of all types were a real nuisance, parading in columns 20 or 30 metres long, across the patio, over furniture and everywhere in the garden.

Except for very few wandering around, they’ve more or less vanished.

Similarly bees and wasps. This year is the first year I have rarely had to re­ move drowned bees and wasps from our pool.

Flies a similar story.

How these observations relate to cli­ mate change and/or pesticide use I am not qualified to say. But such huge changes do have an answer, even if maybe just a local phenomenon to this area of Axarquia. We all need to know.

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

You are in a romantic mood but something is missing from the picture. It is not that you are feeling the need of having more than one string to your bow, it is more that you are tired of using the same old arrows. So, what is out there to fire your imagination? Something really new will not miss the mark with you.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) This is a brilliant week for money and business. Mars is influencing you to be more upfront and practical in your approach. You may feel changes coming on that you would rather deny. Burying your head in the sand is not an option. Take the bull by the horns and you could be surprised at your success.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You will see the lighter side of life this week when you discover that someone is holding a torch for you. You are flattered and vaguely interested. Your combination of intelligence and humour make you a delightful companion.

Venus smiles on all your close relationships and you seem to be able to do no wrong. .

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is much to be tackled this week, but you are wary of making full-on decisions.

Taking things one step at a time is the best policy because it gives you space to consider the options.

There is a restlessness about you that is hard to pinpoint. Perhaps you are feeling positive but have to hold fire because of others.

This is frustrating, but try to relax.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Energy levels go up and down and you seek to ration yours by not going all-out physically. It is still possible to be quite dynamic while planning.

Indeed, your clear vision impresses a colleague. If you are due for promotion then some good news is likely. Blow your own trumpet rather than wait for others to do it for you.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The changes affecting you for the past few weeks continue but you are now getting better at managing their direction.

Someone wanting you to take a logical action should not be allowed to push you forward.

When to act will be clear to you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone who has been unhelpful in the past suddenly steps forward. Could you have been wrong about them?

Probably not. Keep a clear mind when with them. Saturn influences you to be more organised before a bout of indecision strikes.

‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’

Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The influence of Venus and Jupiter brings you the influence and status that you deserve.

It's not that you haven't worked towards it but now you start to see the benefits. There is an urge to improve your appearance and surroundings to fit in with the 'new you'.

Women’s wit

‘

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control and, at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”

Marilyn Monroe

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) During the past few weeks you may have gained a different perspective on life. Your need for a close attachment and harmony in your life should not be underestimated or denied in the name of practicality.

NINJA FESTIVAL: The annual event has no ninjas willing to take on the job.

DID YOU KNOW?

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) To be truly happy you need to build on your partnerships.

Keep these in balance and everything else will fall into place. Life has taught you some rather harsh lessons recently. The upshot of that is you now feel more in control and more secure.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is an all-consuming need to see some reward for all your efforts. There will be those who will tell you that you need to push harder for success.

Perhaps you need to be with more like-minded people.

Certainly being with the wrong colleagues can bring your spirits down.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) When needed you are sure to be positive this week. On a project, 'striking while the iron is hot' springs to mind. There is much fun to hand but it must be 'work first' at the moment.

Some opportunities do not come twice and you need to be aware of them when they present themselves. Spend some quality time with your loved ones.

Famous quote

‘

THAT Japan is suffering from a ninja shortage? The Japanese city of Iga, about 280 miles from Tokyo in central Japan, has a rich history of martial arts and claims to be the birthplace of the ninja. Each year the city of about 100,000 swells by 30,000 as tourists arrive to experience the annual ninja festival. But one problem, there are no ninjas despite an incentive of $85,000 salaries for ninjas willing to take on the job. So if you’ve dreamed of becoming a ninja, now may be the time to make that dream reality.

BIRTHDAYS

IT’S Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter.

As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realises the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned.

But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father.

Increasingly hounded by the question, how would you feel… he resumes the search.

As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueller, a body is discovered.

Gamache must face a horrific possibility, and a burning question.

What would you do if your child’s killer walked free?

Smooth moves fail, sure fire cons go haywire, and nothing turns out the way anyone expects.

On the right foot THE season to ditch your socks and boots for sandals and flip­flops is well and truly upon us.

However, experts say thousands of women could face crippling problems by wearing the wrong shoe size during the summer months.

Many women have no idea that their summer shoes should be at least half a size bigger than their winter ones to cope with hot, swollen feet and to prevent blis­ ters.

Consultant Podiatrist Emma Supple says “Throughout winter we ignore our feet, we never look at them and we neglect them badly. So when we finally take our socks off, our feet are really prone to de­ bilitating blisters when we w e a r s a n d a l s a n d f l i p­ flops. When we then wear the wrong size shoes it is a recipe

for a foot disaster.”

While anyone can have a mishap when it comes to foot pain, it’s important to take extra care if you have certain foot health conditions. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, and various complications related to diabetes can all feel worse in the sweltering heat.

By protecting your feet with the right summer shoes, many foot health problems can be avoided or at least lessened.

Tennis Elbow - to inject or not to inject?

BY ESTELLE MITCHELL WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM

TENNIS ELBOW aka epicondylitis or epi­ condylagia is when the tendons (stringy bits that attach muscles to bones) on the outside of the elbow, become damaged and irritated, usually caused by overuse.

This translates to pain on the outside of the elbow because you have been doing a particular action repeatedly, common in tennis players but also seen in plasterers, painters, and anyone whose job or hobby includes a repetitive action (no smirking at the back!).

Tennis Elbow is a complicated condi­ tion, often misdiagnosed and therefore mistreated, it isn’t uncommon to hear of patients having had treatment for many months without making significant progress TOP TIP ­ if it isn’t improving within four to six weeks, get a second opinion!

Often the first treatment someone will receive when they go to the Doctor is a steroid injection to help with the pain.

NOTE ­ this is pain relief NOT treat­ ment.

TENNIS ELBOW: Usually caused by overuse.

Treatment fixes the problem, pain relief just makes you more comfortable with the problem.

This recent study (link on our FB page and website for full details) comparing physio­ therapy, cortical steroid injections and ‘wait and see’ shows some interesting results:

Steroid Injections Six months after injury the steroid in­ jections come out better ­ this is about how long the pain relief effects last, so they should do better as these patients are pain free (not treated, just not in pain!)

However, the patients receiving steroid injections had the highest recurrence rates. Again, not a surprise ­ the pain re­ lief wore off so they went back for more ­ actual problem NOT treated.

Physiotherapy Unsurprisingly (in my, obviously com­ pletely biased opinion!) physiotherapy had the best outcomes ­ patients needed less medication, needed less time with doctors and had almost no recurrence.

Why? Because the actual problem was treated, not just covered up with pain re­ lief.

What to do now Pain relief is an amazing thing ­ it allows us to carry on and work around problems.

But it is NOT a treatment.

Repeated research has shown that while the initial pain relief can be signifi­ cant, prolonged and repeated use of steroid injections starts to break down the tendons within the joint, like a fraying rope. Which inevitably leads to more pain and more problems.

So get yourself to a physiotherapist if you want tennis to be pain free for more than a few months.

The full study is linked on our website and Facebook page as well as additional information about how to get the best treatment for tennis elbow – www.TheBodyworksClinic.com, Facebook page ‘Bodyworks Health Clinic’ or call us on 952 883 151.

THESE days, more and more people are beginning to un­ derstand the importance of a simpler way of life and are try­ ing to incorporate more nat­ ural and healthier products, foods, methods of transport etc into their lives.

Making your own natural beauty products at home is a great way of saving money, lavishing your body with the best treatments available from Mother Nature herself, whilst doing your bit for the environment at the same time.

Just because a product has an expensive price tag of €40, it does not mean that it is nec­ essarily the best on the mar­ ket. More often than not it’s a case of very clever marketing!

Treat your skin naturally Essentially, all beauty prod­ ucts such as cleansers and moisturisers are made from the same basic ingredients, which are all fairly cheap to produce.

Cleansing your skin is an es­ sential part of any skin care routine, as dirt from the at­ mosphere must be removed regularly to prevent pores from clogging and the appear­ ance of the dreaded spot, or worse still ­ spots.

Many people are content on using a soap to cleanse their skin and to remove all traces of dirt and make­up, yet soap can be harsh and will

upset the skin’s natural Ph balance. Using a natural cleanser is much gentler and softer and will not harm the skin in any way.

Common soaps that you find in the supermarket or chemists all contain caustic soda, which is otherwise known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a highly corrosive substance and chemical. As well as being used to manu­ facture soaps and detergents, it is also used to bleach paper in paper production and in pe­ troleum refining!

Below is a selection of nat­ ural recipes for cleansers that

will cleanse the skin and re­ move make­up as well. Take care when applying around the eyes as the skin here is very delicate and needs spe­ cial care.

The recipes below are all made from natural ingredi­ ents and are therefore inex­ pensive to produce, refresh­ ing on the skin and more importantly free from chemi­ cals and preservatives.

For this reason, they will not keep for as long as com­ mercially made products, but can be stored for several months in an airtight contain­ er.

Those made with only natural products will have to be used within a few days though. It is a good idea to make small batches to ensure that these natural products do not go off.

There are several skin types ­ normal, dry, oily, combination (most com­ mon), sensitive and mature ­ so choose the recipe that best suits your type of skin.

For combination skin 125ml of boiling GO NATURAL: The more purified water natural products you use 40g ground almonds on your skin, the better.

Cucumber Method Place the ground almonds into a muslin bag, secure with string and place in a bowl. Add the boiling water and leave to soak for two hours. Press the bag from time to time with a spoon. Cut the cucumber into pieces and place in a blender.

Remove the almond bag and add the juice in the bowl to the cucumber. Process until smooth. Transfer to a container and refrigerate. This cleanser should be used within 4 days.

For dry skin 4 tbsp of avocado oil 2 tbsp of coconut oil 2 tbsp of warm purified water 1 tbsp of emulsifying wax or ointment Method Place all the ingredients except the water into a bowl. Place the bowl into a pan of hot water and heat gently. Stir until the wax has melted. Add the water and beat with a fork until the mixture has thickened. Transfer to a bottle and close with an airtight lid. This will keep for several months.

For oily skin 1 tbsp of natural live yoghurt 1 tsp of lemon juice 2 drops of pure essential lemon oil Method Mix all the ingredients together and apply immediately.

Eyelash error THEY certainly create a more dramatic look, but if false eyelashes are applied in­ correctly they can also have the opposite effect. Nobody is born with an innate pro­ fessional knowledge about how to apply these, so the important thing is to be aware of the basic errors and then avoid them.

Once you’ve opened them up, don’t presume that your false eyelashes are the correct length for your eyes. You may need to cut them slightly so that they fit correctly. Then, once you’ve applied the application glue, wait at least 30 seconds before you apply the eyelashes. This gives the glue time to harden and get sticky and avoids the issue of the eyelash moving around.

Be very careful where you apply the

eyelashes. Don’t leave them much above the line of your natural lash. This will cre­ ate a very clean and neat effect.

If your pre­night out routine involves putting on a face mask to clean your pores. Don’t apply your eyelashes until you have removed the mask. Otherwise you run the risk of accidently pulling them off.

And remember, simply because you have bought single­use eye lashes doesn’t mean that you can only use them once.

As long as they’re in good condition, there’s no reason for you not to use them a couple of times. Just be sure to clean them and maintain their shape. But be ex­ tra attentive to make sure that you can’t see any glue residue from their previous use.

EXTRA BEAUTY: False eye lashes can create a look of glamour.

Spanish thrill for Mark Wright

Caring Queen QUEEN LETIZIA, seen by some of her subjects as uncaring, is working hard on a number of worthy causes in Mozambique and around the world, a new film contends.

When the TV news presenter Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano married the heir to the Spanish throne in 2004 she entered a world of privilege and public scrutiny.

Unfortunately her fairy­tale has had its shares of ups and downs and her actions have met with

Documentary about Queen Letizia to be aired this Saturday in Germany. criticism on occasions. She has been labelled ‘cool and aloof.’

Matters came to a head last year when Letizia, 46, now queen, was involved in an un­ seemly ruffle with her mother­ in­law, the former Queen Sofía, as they posed for photos in Mal­ lorca. The images did not go

down well with the public and a royal rebranding was called for.

This is a 45­minute documen­ tary by Julia Melchior, a German journalist who specialises in Eu­ ropean monarchies. The docu­ mentary will be aired on Satur­ day, August 24 in Germany.

Classical guitarist in Ireland DEEP in the heart of Donegal County lay the Der­ ryveagh Mountains and the Glenveagh National Park. Hidden within those mountains is a castle with a rather dark history. But on Friday it was brightened with the musical sound of one of the top classical guitarists from Spain.

Isabel Martinez is regarded as one of the most outstanding and distinctive players of her gener­ ation and plays concerts across the world and

the atmospheric drawing room at Glenveagh was the ideal setting for her one­hour concert on solo guitar, titled ‘Dance in Granada.’

Isabel played pieces from the great Spanish composers from the 19th and 20th century such as Tárrega, Álbeniz and Turina. Victor Yélamo, who helped to organise the concert for the Donegal Chamber Music Society, said it was a rare treat for Donegal music lovers.

ORIGINAL star of TOWIE Mark Wright ­ he featured in the first three series of the real­ ity show ­ has always felt at home in Spain ­ and now he might realise why.

The 31­year­old Essex native loves to visit Marbella on holiday ­ his cousin El­ liott owns Olivia’s restaurant just up the coast ­ and has now found out one of his ancestors was Spanish.

While filming popular genealogy show Who Do You think You Are? It was re­ vealed that his nine times great grandfa­ ther was a swordsman in Andalucia.

But while that was a thrilling discovery the information that his forbear was perse­ cuted for his Jewish faith was not so wel­ come.

Speaking to The Sun he said: “That’s hard to take when it’s someone in your bloodline, tortured for years and burned at the stake.

Knowing my family went through that ­ I can relate to it even more.”

ANCESTOR: Mark Wright has Spanish blood.

This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks up a black pudding dish for his regulars!

Black and white pudding!

Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com

BLACK PUDDING is a type of blood pudding origi­ nating in the UK and Ireland. It is made from pork blood with pork fat and a cereal, usually oatmeal, sometimes rice.

The different proportion of cereal and spices along with the use of certain herbs usually distin­ guishes where the black pudding is from.

Black puddings are supposed to be one of the oldest forms of sausage as the blood does not keep unless prepared in some way, and making a pudding is one of the easiest ways of ensuring it does not go to waste.

While the majority of modern black pudding recipes involve pork blood, this has not always been the case; sheep or cow blood was also used, and one 15th century English recipe used that of a porpoise, in a pudding eaten ex­

A REGULAR: Steven with Kevin Hull.

clusively by the nobility!

Until at least the 19th century, cow or sheep blood was the usual basis for black puddings in Scotland.

Culinary uses for black pudding are vast and include black pudding ice cream, roast game dishes, especially venison with black pudding and a more conventional modern recipe is using it as

an accompaniment to scallops which is delicious.

In Scotland and the north of England many fish and chip shops sell deep­fried, battered black pudding and many people love it fried with their full English breakfast!

White pudding is broadly similar to black pud­ ding, but does not include blood. Modern recipes consist of suet or fat, oats or barley, bread­ crumbs and usually pork and pork liver, filled into a natural sausage casing.

At The Little Geranium we have many regular clients returning for our black pudding. Kevin Hull has been a regular for years and close friend, so we have the dish named after him in the kitchen.

We call it Kev’s pudding as it is larger than the usual size tapas portion and is drenched in truffle sauce!

The black pudding is griddled and then topped with garlic spinach and fried quails eggs and then coated with a truffle cream made with white truffles, drizzled with a little truffle oil.

Another dish we do for another regular client is similar but instead of topping it with quails eggs we top it with seared foie gras glazed with a little Miraflores honey from our region and we call that Eamon’s black pudding.

The chefs all know what the dishes are and

while other clients may eat them, we still put their names on the tickets.

Kev’s black pudding is different to Eamon’s and we need to differentiate them! Lorraine Kel­ ly was in for lunch the other week and comment­ ed on how lovely the black pudding dish was, we had changed it a little so we now also have Lor­ raine’s black pudding! I used to make my own black pudding, but it is time consuming and I think some parts of the world do it better than me! So I buy it from either Asturiana in northern Spain or from Kilkenny in Ireland depending on the dish. Both are truly superb!

Recently one of the most popular black pud­ ding dishes has been our terrine of black pudding with confit chicken wings wrapped in Serrano ham and served with home­made walnut bread.

It is delicious and sits proudly as a dish on our current eight­course tasting menu. It’s a white terrine speckled with the black pudding as black and white looks striking!

Making a terrine isn’t as difficult as it looks and so if you follow this simple procedure you could serve up this stunning terrine as a lunchtime snack, a dinner party starter or even on a buffet table especially good for a large party or Christ­ mas buffet!

Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

Terrine of confit chicken with black pudding PREPARATION Follow these simple rules and this terrine will come out perfectly!

So first we must line a ter­ rine mould with cling film al­ lowing it to overhang as we are going to need to wrap up the terrine.

Then line the mould with thin slices of Serrano or Parma ham on the top of the cling film, ensure that the ham is al­ so overlapping and covering the sides and the base. Now prepare the terrine mixture.

For the chicken confit Ingredients for one terrine which serves 12 12 whole chicken legs with thighs attached 4 tablespoons of salt Approx 4 litres of chicken stock 2 sticks cinnamon 2 whole garlic cut in halves across the middle or smashed A bunch of fresh thyme

The zest of 2 oranges 4 leaves of gelatine 250g of melted butter 2 tablespoons of fresh tar­ ragon chopped 1 whole black pudding ap­ prox 15 cm long cut into 2 cm thick but approx 15 cm long strips Method 1. Prepare the chicken leg/ thighs by scouring briefly with a sharp knife 2. Now coat them with the salt and leave overnight in the fridge or for as long as possible 3. Bring the chicken stock to the boil and add the ingredi­ ents (garlic, cinnamon etc) 4. Brush/wipe the salt off the chicken legs and lay them in a roasting tray 5. Pour over the stock and cover with tin foil 6. Roast in a pre­heated oven 150ºC for minimum three hours A confit is something that it

slow cooked (slow braised) usually in duck or goose fat which acts as the carrier for flavours especially when you add garlic, cinnamon, pepper­ corns, orange zest and so on.

The word confit is French and derives from the word confiture or preserve. Nowa­ days I don’t use so much fat so I make a light fresh chicken stock and then pack it with the garlic and cinnamon etc.

Pour it over the chicken legs in a large roasting tin (we use the wings, but this is more time consuming as they are tiny but the meat is sweeter).

Cover the roasting tin with tin foil and cook in a pre­heated oven at 150ºC for at least three hours.

Check it from time to time.

It is ready when the meat liter­ ally falls off the bone with ease.

1. Remove the cooked chicken meat from the bone

carefully with plastic gloves on as it is key to do this whilst they are still warm.

2. Put all the cooked chicken meat in one bowl and all the sinew and bone in another. Ensure that you have no bone or gristle in the chicken meat bowl!

3. Take the cooking liquor (the stock the chicken was cooked in) and now reduce it by half 4. Take the leaves of gela­ tine and soak in cold water un­ til soft. Now add that to the boiling reduced stock and whisk in. Allow to thicken.

5. Take the long strips of black pudding and seal so that it is crisp on the outside but do not overcook.

6. Put the picked chicken meat in a large bowl and pour over a ladle of the reduced stock adding a ladle at a time to get a sticky tight texture.

Now add the butter and tarragon and taste. Season if necessary.

7. Press the chicken meat into the terrine tightly approx.

1 cm thickness only 8. Now add the strips of black pudding ensuring that they go the whole length of the terrine if not then cut some off other strips. It’s im­ portant because when you

slice the ter­ rine each slice of terrine needs to have the same amount of black pudding.

9. Pack more chicken meat on top and repeat procedure until the terrine is full.

10. F old the overhanging ham and cling film over the top of the terrine so that it is covered tightly and put in fridge for at least four hours to set (better overnight).

11. Remove terrine and slice thinly (see photo) serve with a little piccalilli and some wal­ nut toast. I make my own pic­ calilli and I will give you the recipe on request!

Win or lose

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

PABLO IGLESIAS is backing a loser by pushing Spain’s moral obligation to accept the tragic migrants who pre­ fer to risk their lives than stay in their countries of birth.

He might be right and this will res­ onate with Unidas Podemos voters and the socially committed.

Indeed, the Spanish proudly dis­ played their lack of racism and were always happy to welcome all immi­ grants, especially well­heeled Euro­ peans.

They grudgingly accepted Latinos too, who at least spoke the same lan­ guage and shared or at least under­ stood a similar culture.

That has changed and one of the reasons why Vox obtained so many votes in the Andalucia elections last December was because it does not put out the welcome mat for non­ European, non­Latino immigrants.

Iglesias wants to shame the tardi­ ness of the PSOE government’s re­ sponse to the Open Arms immi­ grants.

Rightly or wrongly and whisper it

soft, that could be a vote­winner, not a loser.

Could be worse THERE are worse things than the prospect of Irene Montero with a

government vice­presidency and re­ sponsibility for Social Rights and Equality.

Montero, also Podemos spokes­ woman, will be remembered by many for her insistence in the past on using the totally unnecessary

‘portavoza’ for spokeswoman, such is her devotion to equality.

With a degree in Psychology and a master’s in Educational Psychology she has been the partner of Podemos supremo Pablo Iglesias since 2017 and is the mother of their

It all adds up ALBERT RIVERA, Ciudadanos’ leader, is hedging his bets regarding Pablo Casado’s bright idea called Es­ paña Suma.

The PP and Cs should run on the same ticket in future elections, together with Vox, Casado sug­ gests.

Rivera has so far shown little enthusiasm, and why should he?

Why stick his neck out and possible repel future votes from Cs’ backbone of Centrist voters?

If Spain endures another general election on No­ vember 10 and in the all too likely event of another hung parliament, Rivera will get his chance of a threesome anyway, without having to sign up to anything beforehand.

He’ll get his cake and eat it too.

GENERAL ELECTION: Why repel future votes?

twin sons and a daughter Aitana born earlier this summer.

Montero’s vice­presidency was, is, and will be one of Iglesias’ require­ ments for supporting Sanchez.

Nothing could be worse than a November general election that would do few favours for Pedro Sanchez and even fewer for Podemos. Not even having to en­ dure to by­blow words like ‘por­ tavoza.’

Loser takes all THE Partido Popular, with Pablo Casado in charge, obtained its worst­ ever general election results last April, taking only 66 seats in the na­ tional parliament compared with 137 in 2016 and losing 3.5 million votes.

Not to worry, though. Bolstered by the nominally Centre party Ciu­ dadanos and Ultra­Right Vox, the PP now governs a total of 21.7 million people in Madrid, Murcia and An­ dalucia, despite not being the most­ voted party in any of these regions.

This was never a question of arith­ metic, nor a triple­decker equation or even differential calculus.

Casado’s feat is closer to quantum mechanics which nobody under­ stands, but which get amazing re­ sults.

Tallest tower south of New York NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England

A TALL claim by the developers G&G Business De­ velopments for the luxury residential tower ‘Aston Martin Residences’ has started its long climb into the sky. On June 30, 2019 a massive pour of con­ crete was completed. Some 14,000 cubic yards of concrete to form the base of the tower that will rise to 818 feet or 250 metres and 66 luxurious levels above the city of Miami, Florida.

With apartments ranging in size from 700 to 19,000 square feet, the apartments and penthous­ es are priced from US$750,000 to more than US$50 million. G&G have announced that more than 50 per cent have already been spoken for, sold. The select 391 condominiums, as apartments are known on the other side of the ‘pond,’ are ex­ pected to be ready for occupation by 2022.

Aston Martin Lagonda have lent their name to the tower hence ‘Aston Martin Residences,’ and their design team are designing the amenity spaces throughout the building, led by Chief Cre­ ative Officer Marek Reichman who commented “one of the greatest of joys of design is seeing your work come to life. As this is Aston Martin’s first foray into real estate we are especially keen to

The tower is located at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way, Miami. With the foundations now laid the

tower can start to rise and has now reached the first floor. German Cato, CEO of G&G observed, “It is always exciting when a project reaches this

stage and we expect the first floor to be in place by the end of August. By Christmas we expect to have eight floors completed and from there the only way is up until we reach the 66th floor.”

The shared public spaces named ‘Sky Ameni­ ties’ cover 42,275 feet or 3,927 square metres will be spread across four floors connected by a glass staircase starting at the 52nd floor. On offer to start with is a curated art gallery, business centre, conference room, children’s playroom, a teen cen­ tre, games room, fitness and spa lounge, spa, beauty salon, barbershop, treatment suites, virtual golf, two movie theatres, infinity pool, pool ca­ banas, sky bar, pool concierge, grand salon, pri­ vate dining rooms, and hairdressing salons.

The penthouses can accommodate at least four bedrooms as well as staff accommodation. Ter­ races in the sky to take the air and enjoy the view, a resident may even enjoy a walk around the exte­ rior of a penthouse. Space for a gym and sauna as well as the essentials; the personal private pool high above the Atlantic.

‘Aston Martin Residences’ has its feet in the wa­ ter, the Atlantic Ocean actually, so access to the sea shore is a given. The tower’s butler service can even arrange to lay on a yacht for you to enjoy a personal cruise on the waters as well as much else besides.

A resident need only leave the tower to take an excursion or regretfully return to work.

Hi everybody at EWN Doggie Angells would like to thank you all for your help over the last year. We have had a great deal of success with rehoming our dogs.

Sometimes dogs can be with us for long periods.

It’s funny when they are adopted people often say we have been looking at this dog in the paper week after week and we kept wanting to adopt him but the time was just not right.

He's still in the paper and we are now ready to have him. So that is great - patience pays off. Again thank you all, we very much appreciate all what you do for our charity.

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.

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 clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

San Marino, the third-smallest country in Europe, has the most cars per people ratio (1,263 cars per 1,000 people).

AIMING to expand on its one million sold units, leading Czech firm Skoda has given its flagship Superb range a facelift for 2019 including mi­ nor aesthetic changes as well as a punchy new 2.0 TDI EVO engine.

They have also added a slightly more rugged, chunkier version named the Scout.

To the naked eye the changes to the standard Superb are subtle.

First thing you will notice is the slightly larger front grille with more stream­ lined front headlights. The 2019 Scout is the first in the Skoda range that utilises a full Matrix LED system.

The rear sees some minor alterations too with, again, new light clusters and chrome undertrim. The main difference

Skoda Superb Scout Hatchback 2019

FACELIFT: The 2019 Skoda Superb Scout. that you may notice is the new colour way available on the Scout, Tangerine Or­ ange, a colour not available on the standard Superb models.

The ‘off­road’ moniker is al­ so emphasised by the 15mm

increase in ground clearance over the standard model, in­ creasing the overall

dimensions by 10mm.

The interior space of both the saloon and hatchback ver­ sions have also grown slightly to some clever space saving by the boffins at Skoda. Both the front and back seats give ample leg room and an ex­ ceptional head clearance.

Boot space according to Skoda is a spa­ cious 660 litres, expandable to 1,950 if the

backrests of the rear seats are lowered, with a di­ viding floor increasing space even more along with an inge­ nious dividing system that is only available on the Scout.

Engine wise, the 2019 Scout range offers two different op­ tions, the 2.0 TDI 190 hp DSG and the 2.0 TSI 272hp DSG, both taking advantage of Sko­ da’s successful 4x4 traction system.

Equipment wise the Skoda

comes with all the standard luxuries a modern day car should contain, and with Intel­ ligent Predictive Cruise Con­ trol, Front and Side Emer­ gency Assist and Predictive Pedestrian Protection all com­ ing in early 2020, the 2019 Skoda Scout promises to set itself at the forefront of the urban 4x4 market.

Prices start at €44,990 for the 190hp version and €45,990 for the 272hp.

Audi A1 AUDI’S A1 may be a small nimble hatchback but it still retains much of the distinctive style and charisma of its larger premium­brand stable

• Performance: 0­100 kph 6.5 seconds, top speed 235 kph (146 mph) • Economy: 16.6 kpl (47.1 mpg) • Emissions: 137 g/km

mates.

Entry level models start at €20,462 (£19,185) and standard specification includes features such as digital radio, Bluetooth and smart­ phone mirroring, plus other essentials such as air­conditioning, alloy wheels and remote lock­ ing.

My test model was an S Line Sportback Com­ petition version with potent 2.0­litre 197 hp turbo­petrol engine with S­tronic six­speed au­

tomatic transmission. Laden with additional features and options including an enhanced technology pack, it is priced at €31,165 (£29,220).

Aimed at those seeking significantly boosted performance, this A1 provides a 0­100 kph time of 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 235 kph (146 mph) ­ not what you normally expect in the small hatchback sector! Yet average fuel economy of 16.6 kpl (47.1 mpg) underlines its efficiency and emissions are very good for this level of performance at 137 g/km.

Audi’s brand new RS 6 Avant TO celebrate the prestigious car compa­ ny’s 25th anniversary of making high per­ formance super estates, Audi have launched a brand new RS 6 Avant.

Just like the 1994 RS2, the new RS6 takes the luxurious A6 estate and adds a beefier engine, four­wheel drive and a spectacular body kit.

The new range­topping Audi perfor­ mance estate will get its first unveiling at a special Audi Sport Driver’s Club meeting on September 5 before heading to the Frankfurt Motor Show for its world debut.

Starting with the engine, the new RS6 breaks from tradition by stepping out from its S6 stablemate with an impressive 592bhp 4.0­litre twin­turbocharged V8 petrol engine with claimed performance figures that threaten to worry some su­ percar owners.

Performance of the standard model in­ cludes 0­62mph in 3.6 seconds. Maximum torque stands at 800Nm ­ which is avail­ able between 2,100 and 4,500rpm ­ while the top speed is limited to 155mph. Audi is however offering two performance packages for the RS6, the ‘Dynamic Pack­ age’ and the ‘Dynamic Package Plus.’

These push the super estate to top speeds of 174mph and 190mph respectively.

To help control the monstrous power of the RS6, Audi has introduced two new dri­ ving modes, RS1 and RS2. RS1 tunes the steering, engine, suspension and the dif­ ferential for more enthusiastic driving whilst RS2 turns off the ESC for more re­ strained driving.

Features such as Adaptive Air Suspen­ sion and Progressive Steering add to the driver focused nature of the RS6. The sus­ pension will raise by 20mm at low speeds

Audi’s new RS6 Avant looks set to become a class leader. then lower at speeds over 74mph to make the car more stable.

The new RS6 also takes the RS range in a much more aggressive direction aes­ thetically. The body is a total of 40mm wider and the extended arches cover brand new 21­inch alloy wheels.

It borrows the slimmer, more focused headlights from the A7 range and an op­ tional RS Matrix LED package gives the car its own RS specific light sequence at the rear.

The interior is a beautiful blend of luxu­ ry and performance with the nappa leather and alcantara sports seats sup­ porting the driver and new RS paddle shift levers taking care of gear selection. The RS specific infotainment system gets a unique monitor that gives temperature readings for the mechanical components and a g­meter.

Numerous colour options and Audi’s signature ‘Black’ package will all be avail­ able for the RS6 when it is officially re­ leased early next year and when it does, it is likely to put Mercedes’ AMG E 63 S Es­ tate’s crown as top super estate to the test.

Prices and further specifications will be announced nearer the time.

Sportback Sportback visually establishes its sporting cre­ dentials proving to be a genuine driver’s car with well­weighted steering and adaptive sus­ pension delivering intuitive and reassuring han­ dling.

In the cabin, four adults can be seated com­ fortably and you can just about squeeze in a third if necessary. Soft­touch materials and gloss­black detailing underline the upmarket image and the dashboard has a large high­ mounted touch­screen for ease of use. There are a number of useful stowage spaces in the cabin and a rarity these days ­ a roomy glove­ box! Boot space is good at 335 litres and the

rear seats split­fold for loading larger items.

Standard features on the S­Line version in­ clude LED lights, front sports seats, dual­zone climate control, sports­style flat­bottomed steering with gear­shift paddles, technology pack with sat­nav, cruise control with speed limiter, hill­hold assist, rear parking sensors and auto braking with pedestrian and cyclist recognition.

Rivals in this sector include the five­door Mi­ ni and the SEAT Ibiza, both strong contenders, but overall I think many will feel that the Audi A1 Sportback wins the day with its stand­out performance and sheer kudos.

2019 Mitsubishi L200 Mk6 ALTHOUGH on the surface the 2019 facelift L200 looks to have had a complete overhaul, the new model carries a lot of features over from the previ­ ous iteration.

The new model carries over features from its interior as well as the chassis and drive­ train, however receives a downsized engine, completely new suspension geometry and a host of new technology and driver assistance features.

The size of the load bed re­ mains the same, 1,520mm long and 1,470mm wide, meaning it sits slightly smaller than the Nissan Navara or the new Mercedes X­Class, howev­ er the differences are minimal.

The five­seat, Double Cab Barbarian X is the new range topping model, equipped with a standard six­speed automat­ ic gearbox and all of the L200’s latest toys.

New technology includes blind spot warning system with lane change assist, lane departure warning, hill start assist, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and trailer stability assist.

Overall the interior carries a lot of the ergonomics of the previous model, giving the in­ terior a chunky and robust

feel.

Ride has been worked on for 2019 too, with improve­ ments being made to the chas­ sis, new springs and dampers with an increased spring rate on the front axle, and a more complex rear leaf spring set­ up. These aim to eliminate some of the normal, uncom­ fortable characteristics of an over sprung / under loaded pick up.

The range topping model comes equipped with the downsized 2.3­litre four­cylin­ der diesel engine, 148hp and 400Nm of torque.

Motorway cruising is effort­ less and getting up to speed is no hassle.

With the arrival of the new engine comes the requirement for Adblue. To make things as straightforward as possible, the new L200 comes with an enormous 21­litre Adblue tank

COMPLETE OVERHAUL: The 2019 Mitsubishi L200.

­ Mitsubishi claims it’ll only need refilling every 12,000 miles.

Off road capabilities are still the truck’s forte, even with road tyres, with various off­ road features such as standard selectable four­wheel­drive, high and low­range gearing, a locking central differential, an enormous spread of off­road modes and hill descent con­ trol.

Payload is also increased for 2019, with 1,080kg in the bed and a towing capability of up to 3,500kg.

Prices start from £21,515 for the entry level Club Cab 4Life model, and go up to £32,200 for the range topping Barbarian X.

Rins pips Marquez to win British Grand Prix

He’s a winner RORY MCILROY paired with World num­ ber one Brooks Koepka won a $15 mil­ lion cheque when he claimed the FedEx Cup in Atlanta.

The Irishman finished the day with a two under 68 to claim the title by four shots from Xander Schauffele, and five over Koepka and Justin Thomas.

This makes him only the second per­ son to take the title twice, the other be­ ing Tiger Woods.

Spanish interest rested on Jon Rahn who took a creditable 12th spot to keep him firmly at the elite end of the golfing world.

McIlroy said: “Really cool to put my name on this trophy for a second time.

Any time you can do something that on­ ly Tiger has done, you’re doing some­ thing right.”

He added: “Once I saw I was in the fi­ nal group with Brooks, it just took me back to Memphis a few weeks ago.

In that tournament McIlroy had gone into the final round with a one­shot lead over Koepka, only to shoot a 71 com­ pared to his rival’s 65.

Alex Rins claimed his second victory this year.

throughout the race, with Rins look­ ing to have slightly more pace than Marquez throughout.

After a tense last lap, Rins got incredible drive out of Luffield and forced his GSX­RR under­ neath Marquez to claim victory in one of the closest margins for a

number of years.

Monster Energy Yamaha rider Maverick Vinales picked off Rossi in the early stages and rode to a consistent third to complete the

podium.

The only British rid­ er on the grid, LCR Honda’s Cal Crutchlow scored a strong result bringing his Honda RC213V home in sixth.

Dovizioso’s acci­ dent gifts Marquez a now 78­point lead in the champi­ onship with seven rounds remain­ ing.

Speaking about the race Alex Rins said: “Today has been unbelievable.

Spain beat England for bronze SPAIN’S women’s hockey team won their first Euro medal in 16 years when they beat England in the third­ place playoff match at the European championships to claim bronze.

And the Spanish men took silver after losing 5­0 to first­time winners Belgium in the final.

The Spanish women had to come from behind to draw 1­1 at full time, then took the medal by winning 3­2 in a penalty shootout.

Hannah Martin had opened the scoring for England in a close game when an interception deep in the Spanish half set her up in the 10th minute.

But six minutes later Begona Gar­ cia fired a ball into the circle and Maria Tost got enough stick on it to divert the ball past Maddie Hinch in goal.

With the score level in Antwerp (Belgium) it went to a shoot­out with England taking a 2­1 lead. But two

SUZUKI’S Alex Rins claimed his sec­ ond victory of the year after edging out Marc Marquez by just 0.013 sec­ onds.

The Spanish duo had been en­ gaged in a race long battle that cul­ minated in the young Suzuki rider making a last ditch move around Woodcote and out dragging the championship leader on the final straight.

Marquez started strongly, con­ verting pole position into an early lead as drama behind led to French­ man Fabio Quartararo high siding out of Copse corner, leaving Cham­ pionship contender Andrea Dovizioso nowhere to go as his bike hit the stricken Yamaha and vaulted into the air.

Both riders avoided serious injury, however Dovizioso was later trans­ ferred to hospital as he explained that he briefly lost consciousness during the incident.

This allowed Rins to move from fifth to third and confidently over­ take Valentino Rossi on lap two and then start to close down on Mar­ quez.

And now I’ve won here, beating Marc. These guys are very fast and are ‘legends’ of the sport.

“I knew it would be difficult to beat Marc today, but I really wanted to try, and it was fantastic to do it.

In a couple of the sectors he was faster than me, but I could make it up in some other areas.

“But towards the end of the race I felt I had better pace than him, and I told myself that I must go for it and take the chance, I saw the opportu­ nity and I made it happen. Big thanks to everyone in the team!”

Team manager Davide Brivio added: “What a win! I was hoping to have a battle like this one day, espe­ cially a battle with Marquez.

“Alex was just great, he stayed behind, and he stayed calm, he ran a very clever race. He studied the situation and waited for the right moment to try for the win. It was perfect, fantastic.

“To win against Marquez isn’t easy, and we’re very happy! Sylvain got some good points and he has done a great job to help us develop the bike. Everyone in the team and all the staff in Japan are working so hard, and I want to thank them all.”

Kelly Jonker opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Lidewij Wel­ ten made the game safe as the final whistle approached.

For Spain the bronze was not the only title they brought home. Gigi Oliva was named player of the tour­

nament while in the men’s tourna­ ment Belgium took their first Euro ti­ tle. The World Cup holders were on home soil and made the most of their noisy support to take the tro­ phy.

They had beaten Spain 5­0 in the tournament opener before posting an identical score in the final.

In the third­placed playoff match the Dutch beat Germany 4­0 to the medal for the eighth consecutive Eu­ ro Championships.

England beat Scotland 3­0 to take fifth place and condemn the latter to relegation from the top tier, leaving Wales to battle it out against Ireland to avoid the last relegation spot.

Wales not only needed to beat the Irish for the first time since 2006, but by two clear goals.

They completed their task em­ phatically with a 4­0 win, sending Ire­ land and Scotland down in the process.

Bringing results

ATHLETICO MADRID continue to show their noisy neighbours how it’s done after winning at the weekend to make it two wins out of two.

It promised to be a difficult start to the season for them as they try to bed in no fewer than nine new players ­ including three of their back four ­ and cope with the loss to Barcelona of French striker Antoine Griezmann. Diego Simeone’s side may look different in terms of personnel, but when it comes to playing style there is little change.

Simeone still sets his team up 4­4­2 with four central players crowding midfield and the full backs providing width.

And it is still bringing results, with Ath­ letico beating Leganes away 0­1 to follow on from their 1­0 home win against Getafe in the first round of matches.

Across the city Real Madrid are not get­ ting the results they want. When Zinedine Zidane returned to the club he promised a revolution and demanded control of trans­ fers to mold a team for himself.

So far he has spent €300 million on four players, with most of it going on Eden Haz­ ard. Unfortunately for Zidane’s plans Haz­ ard is out injured, and there is little sign of the ‘new Real.’

Barcelona, without Messi, were looking to get back on track after their shock loss to Athletic Bilbao in their first match of the season.

Barca’s much vaunted attack was miss­ ing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele in their home game against Sevil­ la side Real Betis.

Things were not looking too good when

Nabil Fekir put the visitors 1­0 up early on, new boy Antoine Griezmann stepped for­ ward to show why Barcelona were so keen to buy him.

He scored two and set up another as the Catalans went on to win 5­2. The crowd al­ so got a glimpse of the future, with 21­ year­old Carles Perez impressing (and scor­ ing) on his first start, and Ansu Fati becoming the club’s second­youngest play­ er ever at 16 years and 298 days.

Surprise early leaders are Sevilla where a mix of new arrivals and experienced play­ ers setting up in a 4­3­3 formation have seen them claim two wins.

They travelled to Andalucian rivals Granada and secured a 0­1 win to follow on from their opening round 0­2 defeat of Espanyol.
