A HISTORIC royal visit brought residents out on the streets to welcome the King of Spain.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia paid a visit to Orihuela on Friday October 4 to show support to residents of the Vega Baja after the devastating floods.

It was a historic day for the town, as it was the first time it has had a royal visit.

The King was presented with the original flag of Orihuela Gloriosa Enseña of the Oriol which is the oldest flag known in Spain. The relic will now be stored at the Royal Palace to ensure its safekeeping.

The Royal couple met with the mayors of the various municipalities affected by the storm ‘gota fria’ and took the opportu-

Miguel Perez was one of them and he told Euro Weekly News: “It was fantastic to shake hands with our King.”

MAGNIFICENT MALAGA INDEX A ROSE-TINTED sky is the celestial backdrop to Malaga Cathedral that towers over the rooftops of residences in the city’s old town.

LA MANQUITA, as Malaga C ath ed ral is a ffec tiona te ly k n o w n , is th e s ec ond highe s t Cathedral in Andalucia.

Its nickname, which roughly translates in English as ‘The onearmed lady,’ reflects the fact that the building, on which work beg an aro u n d 1 5 8 2 , w a s ne ve r completed and the south tower remains unfinished.

The reason it was never finished is a typically Spanish tale of financial irregularity.

There was, it seems, no shortage of money to complete the project. However, according to a plaque at the base of the tower, money raised by the parish for the purpose was instead sent to fund the War of Independence in th e A me ric a s to h e lp fre e 13 colonies from British Rule.

But parish records suggest that the money was actually used to repair a roadway, known as the Way of Antequera, rather than for the cause of liberation.

The building site was a former mosque that was consecrated as the church of Santa Maria se la E n ca rn ac io n w h en R oma n C ath o lic tro o p s d e fe a te d the Moors in 1487.

It is built in the Renaissance s ty le to a d e s ig n b y D ie go de Siloe in a rectangular form with a Baroque façade.

The magnificent 17th century choir stalls inside in mahogany and cedar wood were designed

by Luis Ortiz.

After his death the 40 saints that overlook the stalls were completed by artisan carpenter Pedro de Mena.

Gun alarm

PEOPLE are being urged to call the police if they see any animal that has been abused.

The call came from Alicante City’s councillor for Security, Jose Ramon Gonzalez, after a small dog that was severely dehydrated, blind and suffering from a severe skin condition was picked up from the city’s streets on the verge of death. Police had been called by a concerned passer-by. Ramon Gonzalez thanked the Canine Unit for the “excellent work it is carrying out daily in the city,” and asked citizens that if they see an animal which is suffering mistreatment, they should inform the police so that they can act.

Local Police started an investigation and located the dog’s owner who has been charged with an alleged crime of neglect and animal abuse.

The dog has been put in the care of Alicante’s Animal Protector and is receiving treatment.

POLICE are warning people that they must have a licence to own an ‘airsoft’ style air gun.

They were called to an address after a concerned passer-by saw two men brandishing the low-muzzle velocity ‘toy’ guns that looked very realistic.

Now they have denounced two people in Elche for having airsoft weapons without documentation. The events occurred during the night of October 1 when a neighbour saw the men with what looked like firearms, with one apparently pointing it at his car.

Units of the Local Police took appropriate self-protection measures and, after locating the individuals, separated them and searched their vehicle, where they found the weapons.

The compressed air guns lacked any type of documentation, so they were seized and their owners denounced.

Police say there was no criminal intent, but the men’s conduct was irresponsible and likely to cause alarm.

Burglary suspects arrested THE Guardia Civil has arrested three members of a criminal group, who are accused of 25 burglaries.

Twenty-one were committed in Novelda, two in Cantabria and two in A Coruña. The men are also accused of falsifying public and private documents, identity theft and belonging to a criminal group.

Investigations started in February 2018, when three men broke into a Novelda villa and made off with cash and jewellery worth €80,000.

This was followed by another 21 burglaries in just two months. Such was the alarm caused locally that citizen patrols were set up to guard their properties.

In Orihuela, San Miguel de Salinas and Novelda, exhaustive police inquiries by several different units, led them to identify three suspects. As a result, three men of Moldovan and Russian origin aged 59, 36 and 35 were arrested in Orhiuela, San Miguel de Salinas and Novelda.

The three detainees have been released on charges, awaiting trial, with the obligation to appear before the judicial authority when required to do so.

INVESTIGATED: Firefighting contract may have been fixed.

UNDER

investigation TWO companies under investigation for involvement in a price fixing cartel will continue air firefighting services for at least another year.

The joint venture formed by the Andalucian companies Martínez Ridao and Faasa (recently renamed Pegasus) has once again won the contract, which it has held since 2017.

Between November 1 and

October 31, 2020, the two companies will be responsible for the €5.89 million airborne forest fire extinction programme in the Valencian Community, with an option to extend the contract for another four years.

Martínez Ridao and Faasa are two of the companies that are being named in proceedings at the High Court for allegedly being part of a cartel that fixed prices when bidding for forestry firefighting contracts.

The investigation is based on a complaint by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office. According to the summary, the members of the plot shared all the public tenders in Spain, Italy and Portugal agreeing prices and dividing the market.

They are also accused of brib-

ing civil servants with hunts on private reserves and Christmas gifts, according to police reports.

The alleged fraud exceeds €100 million. Crimes being investigated include bribery, tax fraud, false documentation, money laundering, prevarication, embezzlement and alteration of prices in competitions and public auctions.

Among those investigated are ex-councillor and ex-delegate of the government in the Valencian Community, Serafín Castellano, and the current firefighting coordinator of the Generalitat regional government Vicente Boscá.

On this occasion, as in recent decades, only one bid has been submitted for the airborne firefighting tender, that of these two companies in a joint venture.

Fatal attack A MAN has gone on trial accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend when she refused to get back together with him.

The public prosecutor is asking that he be jailed for 30 years for murder with cruelty, breaking and entering and making threats.

The events happened in Canteras (Murcia) in 2017. The prosecution case states that when the young woman refused to return to ASC, he made the cold-blooded decision to travel from Malaga to Canteras to kill her.

After getting a bus to Granada and on to Cartegena, he bought a ladder and a large knife. He then climbed up onto the balcony of his ex’s home and lay in wait for her. According to the prosecutor he then attacked and seriously injured the woman on her return home. As she lay seriously injured and unable to defend herself, he continued to stab her methodically, despite her screams of pain. Prosecutors allege he deliberately prolonged her death before she died from a wound to the lung.

As well as the jail term, the prosecutor is asking for €180,000 compensation for the woman’s parents and €90,000 got her younger sister.

Drink death INVESTIGATIONS are being carried out after a woman was found dead.

The 47-year-old woman died apparently from alcohol poisoning. Medics were called to the Alicante hamlet of El Siscar near Santomera at 7.09pm on Sunday. The victim had, they were told, drunk a large quantity of wine and was unconscious.

Spanish Day is Saturday, October 12th!

IT is Spain’s National Holiday, also known as Hispanic Day or Fiesta Nacional de España or Día de la Hispanidad (in Spanish), commemorating the exact date when Christopher Columbus first set foot in the Americas.

How will you be celebrating? Will you be enjoying the festivities in your adopted homeland culture?

Please be aware that public transport will run on a ‘Sunday service’ with less frequency.

REMANDED: Man accused of 10 violent robberies.

Paint attack THREE people have been arrested accused of a €17,000 graffiti attack.

That was the value of the damage caused when the walls of the new AVE station in Elche were daubed with paint on July 24. The detainees have been brought before the courts.

A SPANISH man, 24, has been arrested accused of 10 violent robberies, two sexual assaults and one vehicle theft.

All the alleged offences happened in streets of central Murcia.

National Police began an investigation after several reports of robberies with violence and intimidation executed with the same ‘modus operandi’ and with matching descriptions of the attacker.

He targeted women late at night when they found themselves alone, usually in pedestrian areas. The alleged attacker approached his victims from behind and covered their mouths while putting a knife or other sharp object to their necks.

The victims were all young women, several of whom he touched sexually.

His usual method of escape was on a stolen motorbike.

Investigators examined security video footage and identified a suspect. They later arrested him when he was spotted riding a stolen motorbike. A search of his home uncovered various objects that had been reported stolen, including mobile phones.

A court has remanded the suspect in custody.

MIGRANTS: There has been a wave of immigration boats off Murcia.

Migrant child DROWNED A COURT is investigating if six immigrants rescued from a boat are culpable for the death of an 11y e a r- o l d c h i l d w h o drowned.

Ayman was the only minor among the seven people who travelled on the boat, could not swim and did not have a life jacket.

When the boat capsized, he drowned, allegedly within sight of the adults, one of

whom was a relative. He became the first of the recent wave of immigrants to officially be known to have died in the region of Murcia.

Relatives of the child travelled to the region from their home in France to try to find some clue as to his whereabouts.

Two days after the shipwreck, María Antonia Martínez, the head of the Instruction Court 3 in Cartagena, took a statement and

charged the six survivors of the shipwreck, all of them men between 20 and 30 years old, with an alleged crime of reckless homicide.

The judge ordered the release of the six defendants on charges. However, since they were persons who attempted to enter the country illegally, it authorised the police to transfer them to the Aliens Internment Centre (CIE) in Sangonera (Murcia).

HAUL: Police seized a selection of drugs.

A MAN has been arrested for allegedly hiding two kilos of drugs including cocaine, marihuana, hashish and MDMA in his home.

Police say the 25-year-old from Alicante was engaged in drug trafficking.

The investigation began when officers of the Judicial Police Group became aware that a person from Alicante City was travelling to other locations to sell drugs to users and other traffickers.

Information gathered in other operations

over several months started to slowly close the police net around the suspect. Police set up a surveillance operation and they finally identified the arrested man as the prime suspect.

They then kept a watch on him to see where he kept narcotics for supply. They eventually arrested him as he left his home to find he was carrying 11 doses of drugs ready for sale. A search of the house revealed a kilo of cocaine, more than half a kilo of marihuana buds, almost half a kilo of hashish, and several doses of MDMA.

JUSTICE: Trial has started.

Girl testifies in gang rape trial THE alleged 15-yearold girl victim of a gang rape by a group of schoolmates has been testifying in court.

The girl gave evidence from behind a screen so she did not have to see the defendants, three of whom have been held in custody.

Four boys from the unidentified Alicante school face five years detention each if the case is proven.

The incident happened in March 2018, an Alicante court heard. The girl said she and a friend had been chatting to the boys. But when her friend left, the situation turned ugly.

She told the court that she was raped by the defendants. According to her testimony, they grabbed her

and violently held her. She was also hit and, intimidated, she decided not to try to escape in the face of the physical and numerical superiority of her aggressors.

She said that the boys also filmed the incident on their mobile phones. They then demanded €50 or they would broadcast the footage. She refused to pay.

The alleged attack happened last summer, but the girl did not report the incident until January.

One of the boys has said he did take a short video while two others had sexual relations with the girl but it was deleted soon after.

The Public Prosecutor ’s Office for Minors of Alicante requests five years of internment in a centre for a

sexual assault offence for each of them.

BREXIT EXTRA

BREXIT BRIEF

ALTHOUGH opinion polls are no longer treated as if they are carved in stone, regular tracking polls with the same questions being asked every week are quite enlightening.

In the case of the YouGov organisation, their regular enquiry as to how people thought that the government would meet the Brexit deadline has seen some huge swings of opinion.

Back in July just 27 per cent of those canvassed expected the deadline to be met but, following the election of Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader, this climbed to 45 per cent by early September.

Now in the latest poll the expectation is down to 26 per cent but in another poll, a very high percentage of Conservative and Brexit Party voters do not consider, should an extension be required, that the Prime Minister is to blame as his hands are tied by Parliament.

Decision imminent LAST week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Parliament what amended proposals he had submitted to the EU in order for a Brexit deal to be agreed.

Opposition party leaders were not supportive of the latest offers and it also appeared that EU negotiators were not convinced that they would be accepted.

The PM spent much of the weekend on the telephone canvassing support from many of the European Heads of State. Following a conversation with France’s President Macron, it appears that a decision could be made as soon as tomorrow (Friday October 11).

Officials welcomed what they referred to as ‘advances,’ but still have a number of problems with the

Sibling support AFTER losing the support of both his brother and sister, Boris Johnson had some good news from another of his team’s siblings, this time Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sister Annunziata, who is a Brexit Party MEP. She welcomed the new Brexit proposals contradicting party leader Nigel Farage.

Irish fears A REPORT from the ESRI organisation in Ireland suggests that a no-deal Brexit could push the Republic into unexpected recession and believes that their government should produce a new budget aimed at coping with such a result.

In the event that the proposals are rejected, and the sticking point could well be over that border between Eire and Northern Ireland,

then there would, in theory, still be time for further negotiation before October 19 when the ‘Benn Law’ requires the PM to request a further delay in leaving.

Despite Mr Johnson’s repeated statements that Britain would leave with no deal on October 31 and that he would rather be “dead in a ditch” than ask for a delay,

government papers submitted to a Scottish court said that he will comply with the law.

Teams of British and EU government negotiators continue to meet in order to find the basis for a deal but, claiming to have made significant compromises, Britain says the EU side has to also compromise.

Jobs available DESPITE all of the no-deal rhetoric, both the Conservative Party and at least one Brexit Party MEP are reportedly advertising for staff to work with them in Brussels from November onwards as part of their European Parliament staffing.

Land grab GREEN spaces handed to the local authority in return for urban developments are being claimed by land grabbers, it’s been claimed.

A 40,000 sqm plot of ‘green land’ in La Torreta, Torrevieja has been fenced in and claimed by a private individual.

According to PSOE spokesman and former head of Urbanism, Andres Navarro, the land was given to the council in 1979 by a building promotor, but the town hall never completed the full registration process.

Spotting an opportunity, the individual has now registered the land in his own name. Navarro says that over the past 40 years the amount of green land in the urbanisation has steadily diminished, with, in worst cases, plots being appropriated.

Now Navarro wants to know if the council has any plans to recover the land without paying for it.

‘Help us fight terror’ call MUSLIMS have been called on to help fight terrorism.

An Alicante police chief has called for the Muslim community to help tackle the threat of extremism.

Chief inspector of the Provincial Information Brigade of the National Police of Alicante, Carlos Gonzalez, said: “The collaboration of the Muslim community is essential to detect possible radicalised individuals or those who are in the process of becoming so.”

Speaking at the University of Alicante he explained that the greatest threat in Europe and Spain are the “lone wolves, the frustrated and the returnees.” Of 25 frustrated attempts to go to the combat zone, eight ended in an attack, he revealed.

“The threat no longer comes from outside. They are inside, they are radicalising here,” he said. “The collaboration of the Muslim community has become crucial when it comes to detecting who radicalises, who manipulates and indoctrinates and so on, because many have learned the

Gonzalez said that terrorists have been adapting to the difficulty of buying explosives in Europe and

Spain and have focused on using lorries, knives and other forms of violence that raise less suspicion when preparing an attack.

He also highlighted the danger of the possible use of drones, which could be coupled with a bomb to sow terror.

Experts also highlight possible cy-

Gonzalez also focused on the importance of cutting the financing routes of terrorist groups and has warned of the use of crypto coins, which are more difficult to trace.

Drugs threats WHEN a man outside a disco saw a bag lying on the floor he picked it up only to be confronted by a knife-wielding thug who threatened to kill him if he did not hand it over.

It turns out the bag contained several doses of the drug ‘speed.’ The victim called police to tell them what had happened, and, when they arrived, he pointed out the knifeman.

The culprit fled into the disco hoping to lose himself in the crowd, but police detained him as he was apparently in the process of trying to dispose of the drugs.

The police found several wraps that allegedly contained speed, ready for sale and distribution. They also found inside his vehicle a precision scale, a 35cm dagger with which he had threatened the victim and another hidden knife.

US Tariffs hurt Spain ACCORDING to figures published by Spanish media, Donald Trump’s proposed trade sanctions could seriously hurt the Spanish economy.

In data collected from the US tariff code (known as TARIC in the EU) and DataComex statistics from the Spanish Industry Ministry, estimates show that exports could be hit by as much as €900 million.

The US Department of Trade shared a list of 150 products that could be hit with a crippling 25 per cent tax.

Jihadists on the move FORTY-SIX jihadists were detected during last summer’s Operation Strait Crossing.

The Strait Crossing began this year on July 12 and ended on September 16 as 1.7 million N orth Africans living and working in Europe travelled home in 372,000 vehicles.

The annual exodus and influx was monitored by Operacion Minerva, a parallel operation by Spain’s National Police in collaboration with the European Frontier and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) stationed in Algeciras, Tarifa and Ceuta.

None of the 46 suspected jihadists were detained as no arrest warrants had been issued against them al-

though anti-terrorist sources explained that special sur veillance measures were adopted in some cases.

The two-month operation also found 220 undetected migrants, recovered 21 stolen vehicles, confiscated 1.6 kilos of drugs as well as weapons and resulted in 480 arrests.

Another surveillance operation, Neptune II, inspected passengers on ships, ferries and cruise liners arriving this summer at seven western Mediterranean ports including Alicante and Motril (Granada).

Twelve more suspects were identified, including nine who were heading for Spain.

Brother and sister found dead at home in Tenerife A MAN and a woman have been found dead at a house in Tegueste in Tenerife.

Both in their 60’s, the pair are reported to be brother and sister.

According to Spanish media the bodies were discovered at around 7.30pm last Thursday evening at the two-storey property in the Pedro Alvarez area of the locality, and could have been there for several days.

Press also reported the body of the woman was covered with a sheet while the body of the man was in another room.

Brexit not a problem BREXIT fears have driven a decline in Britons buying homes in Alicante.

But this has more than been made up by other nationalities purchasing more property, according to the College of Real Estate Agents of Alicante.

The college said that the province “has not seen its attractiveness as a destination for foreigners altered and continues to maintain its position as the Spanish province that records more sales of flats and houses to people from other countries.”

The president of the college, Marifé Esteso, has stressed that foreigners buy four out of 10 homes in the province, so that any significant change can end up affecting the market.

He said: “Logically, the evolution of Brexit and the possibility that the Unit-

POPULAR: Properties like these in Orihuela remain in demand with foreign buyers.

THE public prosecutor is trying to bring charges against former president of Murcia Ramon Luis Valcarcel, over the €600 million acquisition of the Escombreras desalinisation plant.

This is the sum the regional government committed to paying in rent over 25 years, regardless of whether a single drop of water was ever produced.

ed Kingdom leave the EU without agreement have generated a climate of uncertainty in recent weeks that affects operations.

“However, throughout this long process that is being Brexit, and we have seen that sales suffer at a time of maximum tension but then return to a normal pace after a few months.”

Esteso explained that the slower pace of sales to the British is “compensated” by an increase in demand from Belgians, Dutch, French, Norwegians, Germans, French and Russians.

He added: “This is a trend that began a few years ago and we hope it will continue. Up to 125 different nationalities already buy homes in the province of Alicante, which is still attractive for its good climate, excellent beaches and affordable prices for these buyers.”

Now the prosecutor has filed a complaint with a Murcia court, which must decide if there is a case for Valcarcel to answer.

An earlier case, not including Valcarcel, collapsed. As an MEP who would have had to be tried before the Supreme Court he was not included in the case, but now he is no longer in the European Parliament a lower court can investigate him.

TOXIC FUMES: Holidaymakers ended up in hospital after tank refilling mistake.

Acid cloud horror SIX tourists were taken to hospital and eight more treated at the scene after breathing in toxic fumes at a Spanish holiday resort.

A lorry driver reportedly made a mistake when refilling a tank and mixed bleach with hydrochloric acid, causing a dangerous chemical reaction. The lorry driver is said to have reported the incident as soon as he realised his mistake.

Seven ambulances were sent to the Eldorado Resort in Cambrils on the Costa Dorada when holidaymakers reported breathing problems following the incident last Thursday.

The six people taken to hospital were given oxygen, and are said to have now been released following the incident.

Four fire crews attended to make the scene safe. It is not known what nationality the tourists were.

Mother and young daughter die in house fire in Cantabria A MOTHER and her young daughter died in a house fire in Laredo in Cantabria in the early hours of last Friday morning.

According to Spanish media reports a neighbour alerted the emergency services that there was smoke coming out of a

When firefighters arrived at the scene they found the apartment was filled with smoke.

They came across the 49-yearold woman and the sevenyear- old girl in a bedroom.

The daughter was rushed to hospital while the emergency health team did what they could to resuscitate the mother, but without success.

Both mother and daughter died from smoke inhalation, Spanish press said.

It was also reported that although the fire was not a major blaze, the apartment was very small which made the smoke more concentrated.

In the Marihuana plantation bust clear AN 11-month investigation has concluded that water company Hidrogea commited no crime in its charges for installing and maintaining meters.

A resident of Cartagena had complained that the fees it charged between 2012 and 2016 were ‘fradulent.’

The municipal water service contract was awarded in 1992 and for 25 years to Aquagest, now called Hidrogea. It included the commitment to replace 30,000 meters over 15 years old and change 3,000 more that remained unused, although there was no deadline set.

The complaint was that there could be ‘illicit enrichment’ due to the alleged renewal of fewer meters than required by the contract.

It also said that more expensive devices than needed were being installed and charged for, and labour and transport charges were inflated.

The public prosecutor has filed the case saying there is no evidence of criminality, although he has not ruled out reopening the case if new evidence comes to light.

Mobiles are distraction A STUDY by Fundacion L i n e a D i re c t a f o u n d that drivers distracted by their mobiles cause 390 deaths each year.

In other words, using a mobile at the wheel is currently responsible for 20 per cent of road accident fatalities.

The Linea Directa findings are further supported by Españoles alvolante, distracciones y uso del móvil 2019

which also demonstrates that mobile phones are the principal distraction for drivers.

Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (DGT) has also analysed the mobile issue in depth and found that in just one week 5,794 drivers were stopped for distracted driving.

Of these, 2,267 - 38.5 per cent of the total - were fined for using their mobile at the time, the DGT revealed.

The Linea Directa study also found that two million drivers admitted taking a selfie while driving or videoing themselves while driving at high speed.

These include the 22-yearold who was arrested recently in Malaga after he was seen with with one hand on the wheel and the other holding his mobile as he videoed himself driving at 189 kilometres per hour.

Dating scam death GUARDIA CIVIL have arrested a man and a woman in Pedrola in Zaragoza in connection with the death of a 54-year-old Basque IT professional.

The authorities suspect Jose Antonio Delgado was the victim of an internet dating app scam set-up using women as bait to rob unwitting men, Spanish media reported.

Jose Antonio Delgado went missing in early September after setting out from his home in Getxo in Vizcaya for a date arranged online.

His body was found in Pedrola earlier this week.

Investigators reportedly believe Jose Antonio was surprised by several men when he turned up for the assignation, who brutally attacked him and that he died from the injuries sustained. It is also reported the attackers put Jose Antonio’s body in the boot of his car and buried him on the outskirts of the town, where it was discovered by a local resident.

The aggressors then tried to sell Jose Antonio’s top-of-the-range Mercedes on the internet, but the buyer reported the sale to the Guardia Civil due to the lack of documentation to go with the vehicle.

The award description said: ‘This is a building that responds to an extensive and repetitive

school programme with the difficulties that are typical of this type of public work, and yet is capable of creating an extraordinarily rich space, an internal landscape itself that is abstracted from an unattractive environment.

Approximately 50 per cent of the health information looked up online is on professionals’ blogs or professional pages, although around 27 per cent use Wikipedia as a source, the study concluded.

It also found that one in four look up health-related issues on blogs in which the general public can participate. Nearly two-thirds of those interviewed for the survey said they have a treatable chronic medical condition.

One in four said they suffered from backache, 16 per cent said they get migraines and nearly 14 per cent reported they have high blood pressure.

Still time Relief from pests to pay AN extension has been given to people who have yet to pay their IBI taxes. Those who missed the October 4 deadline to pay your local IBI taxes need not worry and won’t be ‘fined.’

Benijofar is one of the municipalities where an extension to November 5 had been given to pay.

This is due to the storm damage many residents in the town and the Vega Baja suffered. It was decided that a little leeway was in order for householders who may have unexpected expenses to pay that take precedence.

A total of 30 municipalities in the province of Alicante affected by the ‘gota fria’ have taken the emergency measure postponing the IVA and IAE deadlines. These are: Albatera, Algorfa, Almoradi, Benejzar, Benferri, Benijiofar, Bigastro, Granja de Rocamora, Guardamar del Segura, Jacarilla, Los Montesinos, Orihuela, Pilar de la Horadada, Rafal, Callosa de Segura, Catral, Cox, Daya Nueva, Daya Vieja, Dolores, Formentera del Segura, Redovan, Rojales, San Fulgencio, San Isidro, San Miguel de Salinas and Torrevieja, as well as Crevillent, Santa Pola and Villena .

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 ‘opt-out’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of potential 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 transplants (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 previous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid-2020 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 increased to 74, from 48 a year earlier.

Lung and heart are viable for 4-6 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 ligaments 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.

Councillor Federico Alarcon (PP) explained that the work was originally put out to tender in December 2016 and that 13 bidders have withdrawn their bids.

Now the council has awarded the contract to Trabajos y Obras Urbanas e Industriales SL for €369,198 (excluding VAT) in what is hoped to be an end to the troubled process.

TEST LAUNCH: Missile was fired at a high angle.

Ballistic missile NORTH KOREA has test-fired a ballistic missile capable of being fired from a submarine and of carrying a nuclear warhead.

So far this year the country has test launched 11 missiles, but the latest one last week is seen as a significant escalation.

All the previous ones had been of shortrange tests, but this one shows the nation could be able to launch missiles well beyond its home territory.

South Korean officials say that they tracked the missile for 450 kilometres, with it reaching an altitude of 910 kilome-

tres before landing in the sea.

The projectile splashed down in the Sea of Japan, within 200 kilometres of the coast of Japan.

North Korea’s state news agency KCNA said that the missile was a Pukguksong-3 test-fired at a high angle, designed to “contain external threat and bolster selfdefence.”

It was launched near the coastal city of Wonsan.

The launch came just a few hours after North Korea said it would resume nuclear armament talks with the USA.

Invest in your health SOME people are mainly focused on the price when they look for a health insurance and they decide to contract the cheapest one, but… Watch Out! Inexpensive health insurances are available on the market at the time of contracting the policy, but as the person gets older the price of the policies drastically increases considering the change to a higher age bracket.

ASSSA does not increase the price due to age, which means that the premium will remain at the same age bracket you contracted at the beginning. In the end you will pay a lower amount and your insurance as a result will be cheap­ er.

A further point to consider is the written contractual guarantee of no cancellation. If there is no guar­ antee and the Insurance Company cancels the policy, it may occur that contracting another insurance becomes complicated due to age or the development of some dis­ eases.

ASSSA guarantees under con­ tract that your policy will not be cancelled, therefore you can have the peace of mind of being provid­ ed with a lifetime coverage.

Health is the best investment we can ever make and should be treat­ ed as such, not as the purchase of the cheapest choice by the time of contracting. Other factors to con­ sider are the solvency and experi­ ence of the Company, the cus­ tomer service, easy access to medical assistance, medical net­ work and coverage offered.

ASSSA puts at your disposal its solvency and more than 80 years of experience to provide you with the best personalised attention in your own language and the best health care any time you need it.

Don’t wait any longer. Invest in your health with ASSSA. Visit us during our OPEN WEEK: FIRST MONTH FREE IN HEALTH IN­ SURANCE + THREE MONTHS FREE IN DENTAL INSURANCE.

Festival pat on the back

European Tourism Fair

VERA Council has given itself a pat on the back for this year’s San Cleofas festival.

“A complete success both in terms of participation and approval by residents and visitors for the suggested novelties,” was how Festivals councillor Amparo Garcia summed up how the celebrations had gone.

The local authority said the public had given the thumbs up to the changes introduced for this edition of the week-long event, notably the decision to move the midday fiesta away from the town centre to the El Palmeral fairground.

According to the council the midday activities had this year attracted the highest ever number of visitors.

The council highlighted the popularity of this year two big acts, 80’s pop group Ole Ole and Seville band Siempre Asi, as well as traditional events like the jousting for ribbons and the street processions.

The councillor also stressed there had been no “incidents or altercations” during the celebration, but rather “a festival atmosphere we have all enjoyed.”

She drew particular attention to what she described as the “healthy” participation of young people in reference to the special police and Guardia Civil campaign to prevent so-called ‘botellones,’ or gatherings of youngsters in public places to drink.

VELEZ-MALAGA is being represented in the 2019 IFTM International French Travel Market in Paris.

The exhibition is taking place at the Expo Porte de Versailles this week and is one of the leading travel and tourism trade shows in France. It is the key trade event and includes all the players in the travel sector - from tour operators and travel agencies to coach operators, airlines, event agencies.

Councillor Jesus Perez Atencia said: “The work on tourism we have developed in recent years must maintain a level in terms of promotion and dissemination of what is Velez-Malaga as a tourism sector, maintaining the excellent level as part of the whole of the Costa del Sol.” With their presence at the expo, the local council of Velez-Malaga is pushing out all the stops to attract tourists to the area to help the local economy.

COSTA BLANCA NORTH

CROWDS: Andalucia is attracting more tourists than ever.

Busier than ever

ANDALUCIA has had its best ever August in terms of tourism.

Data from the Ministry of Tourism shows that hotels in the region dealt with a total of 7.6 million overnight stays in the month, which is 5 per cent more than in August 2018.

There was an increase in the number of guests of 4.4 per cent to exceed 2.3 million for the first time.

The figures were revealed by vice president of the Junta de Andalucia and Minister of Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Government, Juan Marín, at a meeting convened to assess the impact of the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook.

Marin highlighted August as “a historic month for tourism in Andalucia. The data has exceeded our most optimistic forecasts and we are on track to close 2019 as a year in which we will further bolster the strength of our destination.”

Regarding Thomas Cook, Marin said: “The impact on the region is going to be much smaller than other destinations, such as the Balearic or Canary Islands.”

The biggest increase in overnight stays was in Sevilla, with an increase of 9.9 per cent.

It is followed by Cordoba, with 7.5 per cent more, Granada, with 6.7 per cent more, Huelva, with an increase of 5.9 per cent, Cadiz, with 4.8 per cent more, Malaga, with a rise of 4.4 per cent and Almeria, up 1.9 per cent.

TRANSFORMATION: The restoration project at Denia Castle is moving fast with most of the dense pine trees already cut down.

MALLORCA

Rich pickings

Grand restoration scheme THE restoration project of the Verger Alt in the castle in Denia is quickly transforming the area overlooking the sea.

Large parts of the castle grounds were in varying states of decay, covered by dense pine forest, and are now being uncovered to show off the castle that is a major historical site in Denia.

The Verger Alt connects the highest part of the castle, the Governor’s Esplanade, with El Verger Baix and from the top, the viewpoint of the Palau del Governador or from the oval tower at the bottom of the esplanade, it’s possible to appreciate just how much work has taken place already.

The pines have already disappeared and the trunks are piled up ready to be taken away and reused. From the port, a new landscape of the fortress can be seen.

Once the work is completed the castle will be free for local residents and tourists to enjoy and will allow people to walk along the old path that descends from the Governor’s esplanade through the Verger Alt.

VOLUNTEERS: Iberdrola held an international day of action.

Cleaning up

ELECTRICITY company Iberdrola celebrated its International Volunteer Day in Guardamar del Segura.

Company employees from the province gathered to spend a few hours cleaning the Moncayo beach, which had been affected by the recent storms.

Internationally, the company brought together 2,200 volunteers, 22 per cent more than last year, in Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Portugal.

Under the slogan ‘Together we build the world we want!’ the company dedicated the event to the fight against climate change and caring for the environment, as well as the inclusion of vulnerable groups and raising awareness of diversity.

Iberdrola volunteers and their families shared the day with members of disability associations and those at risk of social exclusion.

In Spain, more than 800 volunteers from the energy company took part in 26 activities with social organisations in 24 cities in 13 autonomous communities.

This programme has received various awards, including the Innovation Award 2018 in the Private Sector category, awarded by the IMPACT2030 network (private sector initiative and the UN). In addition, in 2016, the company received a Special Mention from the King of Spain, in the celebration of the first decade of its International Programme.

VALLDEMOSSA has topped the list of the richest towns in Mallorca with the highest level of gross average income, coming in 25th place of all municipalities in Spain.

The Tax Agency released a report on Tuesday listing the wealthiest places in Spain based on the average income of residents in the area and six of these municipalities are in Mallorca.

Valldemossa came in at number 25, Puigpunyent at 38, Bunyola at 64, Esporles at 67, Calvia at 93 and Alaro at 100. This year Puigpunyent and Calvia have appeared in the list for the first time.

Of the list of municipalities with the highest income levels on the islands, it is especially significant that only one of them, Calvia, is considered a tourist municipality with the rest of the towns located in the Sierra de Tramuntana.

The average gross income of the inhabitants of Valldemossa is €42,451, which is 50 per cent more than the average income of the Balearic Islands.

On the opposite side of the scale is Capdepera, which is listed once again as the municipality of Mallorca with the lowest level of average income.

Its inhabitants had an average of €21,689 in 2017 which leaves them far from the Balearic average.

Along with Sant Llorenç and Son Servera it is one of only three towns on the islands that are not among the 1,000 richest municipalities in Spain.

TWISTED: Don’t try to post your letter here.

Iconic pillar IF you happen to retur n to the UK on a trip and are in London, Margate or Sheffield, don’t be surprised if you come across a bright red pillar box with a major difference, it’s knotted.

Young British artist Alex Chinneck has produced three identical sculptures of the iconic pillar box which have been tied in knots as part of a new project entitled Alphabetti Spaghetti.

Although fewer letters are being posted and more messages are sent via email and

social media, there are still more than 115,000 bright red pillar boxes throughout the UK and in theory there should be one within half a mile of everyone (except those who live in remote areas).

The three sites chosen all have a direct link with the artist as his first exhibition was in East London, his second in Margate and he currently lives and works in Sheffield.

In time, he hopes to tour the boxes but has already produced a print which can be purchased from his website.

FINANCE Whisky alert

THE imposition of new tariffs on EU exports by the USA has the poten­ tial to cause major financial loss to Scotch Whisky manufacturers as cost of imports of their spirits will increase by 25 per cent.

The decision to include Scotch in these new tariff arrangements ap­ pears to be a ‘tit for tat’ measure after the EU imposed charges on the import of American Whiskey in 2018 which led to a drop in import values of more than 20 per cent.

It is estimated that exports of Scotch and other drinks to the USA exceed €3 billion per annum.

Grape harvest down

A REPORT from the Spanish Asso­ ciation of Young Farmers (ASAJA) on the latest grape harvest makes for interesting reading with both good and bad news.

Due to long term drought in many of the grape growing areas, the harvest will be the lowest in the past five years, but it is consid­ ered that the quality will be excep­ tional allowing for the production of excellent tasting wines.

Even with the effects of what is referred to as the ‘cold drop’ in Au­ gust and September pests were

By John Smith still kept to a minimum which re­ sulted in fewer grapes but less wastage.

In times of low harvest and high quality it would be expected that the cost of grapes from the vine and thus the cost of wine itself would go up, but this is far from the case.

ASAJA experts do not under­ stand why grape prices are ‘abnor­ mally low’ and for some reason, even though the harvests in both

France and Italy are less than usu­ al, international demand has not seen an increase in price and Span­ ish grapes will be sold at the same price as last year or in a worst case scenario at even lower prices.

The actual estimate for the over­ all grape harvest shows that a max­ imum of 39 million hectolitres of wine is likely to be produced and this compares with the 2018 figure of 50 million hectolitres, so those with a nose for good wine could well pick up some quality bargains next year.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Bank refused his transfer I am a pensioner aged 76 with property in Spain but still resident in Dubai. I have held an account in La Caixa bank for 25 years, transferring money regularly for various contingencies including a monthly support for three grandchildren. Last week the bank refused a transfer of €19,000 and asked for proof of income. I showed them title deeds for prop­ erties in Dubai, including substantial rental income. I also showed them evidence of investment portfolios.

They insisted on government stamped proof of in­ come or tax payment, which I do not have. The idea of drawing money from assets is obviously beyond them. They sent the money back, less €1,000. Do I have any recourse?

B.H. (by email) La Caixa is applying due diligence under YOU AND THE the rules of ‘Sep­ LAW IN SPAIN blac,’ the Spanish regulations against money laundering. We suggest you have your bank in Dubai contact La Caixa directly to establish your legitimacy. Another option would be to instruct a Span­ ish asesor fiscal or tax consultant to steer you right. I have just discovered that Dubai has an income tax system, but with a zero rate and no obligation to declare for most resi­ dents.

Bad month for airlines

SEPTEMBER was a bad month for ailing airlines as following the demise of Thomas Cook and the rescue of Condor in Germany, two more low cost French Airlines are in trouble with one needing €35 million to survive.

France’s second­largest airline, Aigle Azur, was shut down by a court last week after going into Administration and then failing to find anyone to bail it out.

The other casualty was XL Air­ ways which cancelled all flights as it too was unable to find the €35 million of financial backing it need­ ed and is facing bankrupt shortly.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Larger assets SPANISH investment manager Renta 4 Banco has acquired the French BNP Paribas Personal Investors portfolio in Spain which is mostly aimed at individuals. This takeover will add 18,000 clients with a total worth of €1.25 billion to the Spanish organisation.

Closing down AMERICAN fashion firm Forever 21 is to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition, unable to cope with restructure to allow online commerce. With just one store in Barcelona, Spanish teenagers will not be badly affected by the decision.

US tariffs AFTER 15 years of wrangling over subsidies paid to Airbus, the US government has decided to impose new tariffs on a range of goods imported from the EU worth €6.85 billion. The EU has threatened to retaliate.

It’s a growing market EUROPE is leading the way in terms of organic food and drink innovation, with almost a fifth of all food and drink products launched in Europe carrying an organic claim according to market intelligence agency Mintel.

Those aged between 16 and 34 in France, Ger­ many, Italy and Spain are the most likely to pur­ chase organic food and drink and are also willing to pay more for these products.

The group says that in the last 10 years, the to­ tal share of new global food and drink product launches with organic claims has risen from 6 per cent to 10 per cent with Europe seeing the great­ est rate of growth.

Current leading innovators include France (ac­ counting for 22 per cent of all organic launches in Europe in the past year), Germany (20 per cent) and Spain (9 per cent).

No cheer for pensioners

By John Smith WOMEN born in the 1950s, especially those born after April 6, 1953 have received extremely bad news from the High Court in London last week.

A case was brought arguing that the increase in the age at which women would receive the State Pen­ sion was unfair because they were not given enough warning of the change of pension age and therefore had not been able to plan properly for their old age.

COURT RULING: Women’s hopes shattered.

Top Spanish banks THERE is no doubt that the Banks in Spain have recovered remarkably well from the problems that hit them in the time of the financial crisis.

Caixa Bank is now said to control the largest amount of deposits in the country at just under €370 billion and it is followed very closely by BBVA which has just a billion less.

Former front runner Santander has dropped to third

place with €345 billion, but that is due to a reorganisation of how its accounts are presented with the removal of its corporate banking and UK business as well as online bank Openbank which is now trading in Germany.

There is a widening gap between these three and the others in the Spanish top 10, so with profits and earnings increasing, it would not be a surprise to see acquisitions being made over the next 12 months.

The original retirement age for women was 60 and for men 65, but in 2010 the retirement age for women was raised to 65 and both men and women will have to wait longer from 2020 when State Pension is paid to 66­year­olds and the age increases to 67 by 2028.

Many women left good jobs to raise children and could then return to work, knowing that they would be able to expect to receive their pen­ sions at 60.

Whilst sympathising with those af­ fected, the court ruled that there was no direct discrimination against women as the new law simply cor­ rected historic discrimination against men and also rejected that the law was discriminatory based on age.

In essence the court also indicated that the decision to introduce this law was confirmed in Parliament and that whilst many may disagree with the result, their course of action lies in the ballot box not the courts.

It is estimated that some three mil­ lion women were in this position, with some potentially losing out on more than £40,000 (€44,000) which will not now be recovered due to this ruling.

Subway boost WITH more than 42,000 outlets around the world, the Subway sandwich chain has its eyes set on substantial expansion within Spain. With just 57 franchises here it intends to ramp up advertising with the aim of steady annual growth.

Flight shame A SURVEY by Swiss Bank UBS has discovered that an increasing number of passengers are cutting back on air travel due to ‘flight shame’ over the impact to the climate. If the survey is accurate passenger numbers could drop significantly.

New branch TAKING advantage of its position as a major property owner, department store El Corte Inglés is to open its own estate agency. Not only will they use this outlet to sell some of its assets but will also offer a third party service.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WAR paint has been worn by warriors stretching back to the Neanderthals. Camouflage face paint is an integral part of our modern commando’s ability to melt into the background.

But the UK decision this week to allow male soldiers to wear make­up was truly so ludicrous I thought I’d been beamed up to an­ other planet. It’s not even the decision that astounds me, it’s the knowledge that a con­ tingent of our military’s finest actually sat around discussing whether eyeliner and sticks of shocking pink, should become a part of our fighting men’s battle kit! War paint was sup­ posed to frighten our adversaries, not try to fool them into thinking they were being invit­ ed into a local gay bar by the Village People!

Couple that with encouraging soldiers to cry, giving time out for others to pray and prosecuting ex­army heroes for ‘historical crimes,’ really does make me despair that when we have to defend our country against adversaries, we’ll be far too busy being politi­ cally correct to even come close to claiming victory. One of our problems has always been to underestimate our enemies.

We always seem to think that others will

FEATURE

Completely merciless

WAR PAINT: Was supposed to frighten our adversaries. respect the rules of war, or treat defeated en­ emies with chivalrous compassion and ‘uman rites’ etc. Well I have news for all the utterly misguided wimps and snowflakes.

Today’s adversaries are completely merci­ less, they would slit your throat and hang, draw and quarter you in front of your family.

There are no rules any more. Bringing polit­

ical correctness into the equation can get us all dead. For all our sakes get real and con­ centrate on digging out our enemies at all cost. Only by confirming that we will stop at nothing to defeat them, will we have any chance at all of saving our lands and its citi­ zens; and who knows, by taking a strong and non­compromising stand perhaps ­ just per­

haps, we can strike enough fear into our ene­ mies that we won’t actually have to go to war at all. So for heaven’s sake all you military ‘Wallas’ forget the eye shadow and Estée Lauder and concentrate on lethal new weaponry and no quarter combat policies ­ before you all lose your heads and we lose the country we put our trust in you to fight for and protect.

You have no idea how much writing in this vein saddens me. Long into my 30’s I had re­ tained my 60’s ‘flower power’ beliefs that peace and love was the only way and that war and violence would never be the answer to the survival of the human race. I still do believe these sentiments.

Unfortunately I am also a realist. Over the years I have recognised that for these ideals to prevail, everyone had to share the same teaching. Well they don’t. Extremism has manifested fanatics, who believe superiority can only be gained by delivering exactly the opposite. You cannot fight these people with reason or understanding. The only way to survive and bring peace to our future genera­ tions is by the annihilation of those whose sole aims are to annihilate us.

A very special relationship NORA JOHNSON

BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist.

To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson

THE USA and the UK - two great countries separated by a common language. A phrase attributed to Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw and even Winston Churchill.

But apart from language, what else is common to both countries? How about, for starters, their current leaders, both threat­ ened with ‘impeachment,’ and the tricky situation they both face, namely political processes paralysed by the opposition.

Boris represents the 17.4 million who voted for Brexit, Trump won the presidency in the USA ­ and both are trying to deliver what they promised. Whether or not Trump violated any law, it is essential that corruption is investigated ­ foreign aid is, af­ ter all, US tax payers’ money. And the claim, by some in 2016, that the majority didn’t vote for Trump ignores the reality that US elections are won using a different system.

It is also right that Boris is allowed an election. Until the UK has a majority govern­ ment (maybe a coalition), parliament will

USA AND UK: What is common to both countries? continue to control House of Commons business, which is not the way democracy operates.

But the real comparison lies in the atti­ tude of both the US and UK less well­off families who voted for Trump and Brexit in vast numbers. They are the ones who twig that the current systems of globalisation manufactured by the ‘global establish­ ment,’ in which the EU plays a major part and which has been blatantly exploited by China (the US­China trade war has led to the imposition of tariffs on products worth more than $470 billion), don’t work for them.

Hardly surprising then, that many of these families regard Trump and Johnson as their champions (the warm Boris­Donald relationship even less surprising). Maybe,

though, both men are too flawed, personal­ ly, to see their respective mandates through to the bitter end?

However, the genie of populism is out of the bottle so we shouldn’t be surprised if we see the establishments of both coun­ tries gobsmacked once more by an em­ phatic victory for Brexit supporters in the next UK elections and another electoral vic­ tory for Trump in the USA.

Chorus wins another award CHORUS FINANCIAL, a Costa Blanca based financial advice and investment firm, were awarded another major honour at this year’s International Ad­ viser Best Practice Awards held in London last week.

The company, who operate from offices across the Costa Blanca, were again recognised for their campaign to better edu­ cate British expats in terms of how to approach getting advice on their pensions and invest­ ments.

Set up just three years ago by business partners Sam Kelly and Tracy Storer, Chorus have gone from strength to strength to be­ come the fastest growing finan­

cial advisory in Spain.

Sam Kelly, who writes a week­ ly finance column for Euro Week­ ly News, said after winning the awards “Our mission is far from over, with the majority of advi­ sories here in Spain still basing their business model on high, undisclosed commissions. Our three year long campaign has now reached many 10,000s of Brits living in Spain, and is really starting to make a difference.

“Euro Weekly News supported us from day one, and we regular­ ly meet people who said that our articles have helped them avoid bad investment advice.”

The awards recognise the best financial advisory companies in

Europe, and with only eight be­ ing handed out in total across Europe this year, this is another major coup for the local Costa Blanca based firm.

Tracy Storer said “Both Sam and I worked in Spain for many years prior to founding Chorus.

We simply couldn’t find another company that matched our stan­ dards, both in terms of financial advice and ethics, so felt our on­ ly option was to start our own firm.

“We have a fantastic regulato­ ry and compliance team support­ ing us in the background which leaves us free to focus on spreading our message and look­ ing after our clients.”

BUSINESS PARTNERS: Tracy Storer and Sam Kelly.

Emergency info could save lives……

WITH sponsorship from Aroca Seiquer, HELP Vega Baja recently took receipt of 100,000 copies of their new Emergency Information sheet.

Printed in both English and Spanish, the A4 paper comes folded down to credit card size so it can fit easily into a purse or wallet.

The charity is urging people to obtain a copy, which is completely free, to fill it in and always carry it with them. The leaflets have already started to be distributed to lo­ cal clinics, pharmacies, hospital, town halls and many other outlets.

Michele Masson, president of the charity said “we have been greatly encouraged by the response from people who are keen to be involved in distributing these leaflets.

Our Guardia Civil friends at the N332 have taken a supply to offer out when they go around doing their popular talks, a very positive response has been received from staff at the local hospital, social workers and the British Consulate to name just a few. Our volunteers are working hard to

ensure that the leaflets are avail­ able far and wide. A list of places where the leaflets are available will also be placed on the HELP Vega Baja website at www.helpvegabaja.com.

The leaflet provides important contact details for Local Police, hospitals, consulate etc and or­ ganisations where help and advice may be available, particularly in an emergency. On the reverse of the leaflet, the holder can complete details of medication, emergency contact, blood group, medical con­ ditions and much more.

There is even a space to indicate whether there are animals in the home that may require assistance.

Michele said, “the idea of the NEW LEAFLET: Provides important contact details for police and hospitals etc.

leaflet is to fill in your information and, if you are involved in an accident or unexpected ill­ ness, the emergency services will have access to what could be vital information to support you. It is important that once completed, the leaflet is always carried with you.

“We are working with other organisations to raise awareness of the leaflet to ensure that people remember to look for it, for ex­ ample should someone be taken to an A & E department. We have already been able to assist police in returning someone’s personal belongings because they were carrying a leaflet when their bag was stolen which was great and a bonus to the other benefits of the little leaflet.”

If you are part of a group, have a business or perhaps you simply want a leaflet for yourself, please contact the HELP Vega Baja office in San Miguel on 966 723 733 to arrange for the leaflets to be put to one side for you. Please tell your friends and family ­ even if they are only here for a holiday, keep­ ing a card with them could be extremely use­ ful.

For more information on the cards or any other aspect of HELP Vega Baja, contact their San Miguel Centre on 966 723 733 Monday to Friday from 10am to 1.30pm. There is also an emotional support helpline offered by the charity - Connection Team on 965 021 552. If you are interested in finding out more about volunteering for this great charity, please call the San Miguel Centre or email office@helpvegabaja.com.

OUR VIEW

Views expressed and opinions given are not necessarily those of the EWN publishers. No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

Only lawyers win SO, we have the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, currently trotting around Africa, determined to demonstrate that they’re earning their keep.

During this trip, Prince Harry has fired a broadside at the tabloid press.

He is entitled to be furious if newspapers have tapped his or his family’s phones. Although taking legal action is unusual for a royal, this is a crime and he can rightly take the tabloids responsible to court.

He is also entitled to be furious that a newspaper has published a private letter written by his wife to her father.

The couple may be equally entitled to sue the newspaper that published the letter for copyright, but it’s not so black and white.

The letter was legally owned by Meghan’s father. If the newspaper legally obtained the letter from him, is it not Meghan’s publicity-hungry father who should be the target of Harry’s ire?

By suing the paper, is he not attracting more attention on his apparently strained relationship with his father-in-law and this isn’t protecting his family privacy.

There’s no doubt former actress Meghan Markle is per fect clickbait, but she won’ t play the tabloid’ s game.

Now they can’ t do right for doing wrong, but is Harry’s lawsuit going to help or will only the lawyers win?

MONEY MAKER I READ your article on the new Renfe card, it seems to me it is another way of making money from travellers who use the train infrequently, such as tourists travelling to and from the air­ port, they are likely to make only one or two journeys and are less likely to understand the very complicated ticket machines at stations, this means that they will probably pay an extra 50 cents on each journey.

Paul Wynn

Are all people in power blind or just don’t want to know or unwilling to face the problem. At the moment black peo­ ple are killing each other due to the drugs war that’s going on around the country to some people that’s just fine.

It’s not a nice situation we have here but all what you have stated is spot­on in every way, I congratulate you for stating the obvious. My only wish is that I could have access to your paper over here or can I get it on the inter­ net? I would be delighted if you could let me know. Thanks again for an hon­ est nail on the head bit of writing.

Regards, John Harrison *You can read Euro Weekly News online at: euroweeklynews.com

Migration DEAR Leapy, No slings and arrows I assure you. Ex­ cellent article. What you have in the UK is also a huge problem in Holland. Most Dutch have had it with migrants and the arrogance and aggression of Africans that have moved into this tiny country.

The truth of the matter is that all Eu­ rope has lost their pride and their own culture. The English are the same as the Europeans. It’s all loud talk, big brave words, drunkenness, drugs, tattoos and if a family member is raped or abused, they blame colonialism.

What a pathetic excuse.

Carry on Leapy, and spread your message.

In SA the Xhosa are killing the mi­ grants coming in. That’s black on black!!

Don’t see that on BBC. Regards, Hans de Leeuw

RENFE: New card costs 50c. between us and there never will be. We are forced by law to tolerate this situa­ tion. When people get together it is common for this subject to be dis­ cussed and all agree that we will not tolerate this situation for much longer, but no one in power seems to under­ stand that there is a problem.

Social integration BEEN on holiday in Mallorca and just happened to pick­up the Euro Weekly newspaper. I must admit your reference regarding social inte­ gration was just spot­on. Your think­ ing has been common thinking by most people for years.

I live in Wales now and only too pleased to get away from the greater London area as the majority of people there now are black with the odd white person now and then.

You are quite correct when you state that there is little integration

Leapy for PM? EACH week we read your item in the paper. We cannot thank you enough for your thoughts, we agree with you 100 per cent and would back you to be PM if Boris fails. Thanks.

I would never leave my dogs mess for others. That’s disgusting. Get a bag and pick it up ... simple !!

Michelle Johnstone I think the government should first show proper due care for animals in Andalucia . Of course this issue matters but try banning cruelty or enforcing mi­ crochip and running sterilising programmes first and clean up the desperate situation of overbred and under valued animals here. Fine someone whose looked after dog peed on the walkway but ignore the dog tied to a tree or abused donkeys?

Electric Scooter Rider Pulled Over By Cops On Spanish Motorway I have just seen a man,with a child about four years old on one of these, going down the main road among all the traffic, really responsible parent he is!!!!!!!

Another thing that really gets me, we motorists, scooter riders or whatever have to pay road tax, in­ surance and abide by the laws of the road, they pay nothing and abide by no laws.

John Grieve They probably go faster than cyclists on the motor­ ways, but the Guardia still let the cyclists on motor­ ways, lol.

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT ‘Greetings cards featuring artwork

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Yours is a big ship. You are able to take a lot on board but you don’t have to. In this special week, when you see things so clearly, be selective. Allow into your life only that which is valuable and worthwhile. This is not selfishness, it is providing a source of inspiration for the present and the future.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your old shoes are comfortable and still have a lot of wear in them but someone is suggesting that you should buy some new shoes and throw the old ones away. They are no longer shiny. They are no longer fashionable. They do, however, provide all that you need.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) That little bit of extra cash has made you realise something.

Not everything is as simple as you would wish it to be, and throwing money at a problem will not make it go away entirely. There are some things that you need to come to terms with. It is much easier to incorporate the uneasy into your life if you take a more relaxed attitude.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Sometimes, when we are making a journey, it is not the usual route that is best. Something has changed in your sphere and there is a need to adjust to it. There are other options that will bring the same result and maybe even a more convenient one. You will need to do two things. The first is to open your mind to the possibilities.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Someone needs to learn to stand on their own two feet. It isn’t you, but it’s close. Finding a balance between helping and idly standing by while mistakes are made is necessary. It’s not easy but it has to be done. You may break into a sweat this week and it won’t suit your nerves, but you’ll get through.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A way opens up before you that can bring wealth. Branching off from that is a path to certain happiness. Which will you take?

If having that money means changing your nature (or trying to) is that going to make you happy? On the other hand, if you sidestep the money can you still be happy? Keep things

simple. You know where you are.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Are you looking for guidance?

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

Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) It appears at times that you are in the middle of a play. The lights are on you, the mike’s wired, your audience awaits, then nothing. Not that you are lost for words. You know exactly what to say and do. What you are wondering is why you are there in the first place. Maybe where you are was not intended.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) There’s a lot of buzzing going on in your head. No, it isn’t tinnitus, it’s something quite different. You know it’s a great time to get ideas and act on them. However, trying to act on too many at once is causing some confusion. Maybe there’s too much going on.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) You’ve been working hard, maybe in the dark some of the time. This week someone shines a torch on your situation and you see exactly where you are. Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Getting a creative project started has opened your eyes to many things. Perhaps you question why you did not do it before. The fact is that it doesn’t matter. You are where you are right here and not because that was where you were heading. Enjoy the feeling, the praise and the satisfaction.

As the holidays approach, Detective Lindsay Boxer and her friends in the Women’s Murder Club have much to celebrate.

Crime is down. The medical examiner ’s office is quiet. Even the courts are showing some Christmas spirit. And the news cycle is so slow that journalist Cindy Thomas is on assignment to tell a story about the true meaning of the season for San Francisco.

Then a fearsome criminal known only as ‘Loman’ seizes control of the headlines. He is planning a deadly surprise for Christmas morning. And he has commissioned dozens of criminal colleagues to take actions that will mask his plans. All that Lindsay and the SFPD can figure out is that Loman's greed - for riches, for bloodshed, for attention - is limitless.

Caring responsibilities A NEW study has revealed that nearly two­thirds of young car­ ers suffer from mental health problems because of their car­ ing duties.

The study, which looks at six European countries, warns that the failure of those govern­ ments to take proactive action on behalf of young carers could be in breach of human rights law.

Published by the Me­We Young Carers project, the new research found that 60 per cent of the 276 adolescent young carers ­ defined as those aged 15 to 17 ­ reported mental health problems because of their caring.

Thirty per cent said they had thought about hurting them­ selves and 12 per cent had thought about hurting others.

Of the latter, 43 per cent had thought of hurting the person they cared for.

Thirty per cent of adolescent

PRESSURES: Many young carers suffer mental health problems.

young carers reported physical health problems due to their caring role, the University of Sussex research said.

Just over 40 per cent report­ ed experiencing difficulties in school due to their caring re­ sponsibilities. Twenty­two per cent experienced negative school performance and 37 per cent had endured bullying due to caring.

The Me­We project recom­ mends a number of policy ini­ tiatives to support young carers including special measures such as additional time for young carers sitting exams.

They also call for psychologi­ cal supervision in schools to support adolescent young car­ ers, flexible working conditions at work, and training to help professionals identify and sup­ port young carers.

The 2011 census for the UK revealed that there are 177,918 young carers under the age of

18 in England and Wales.

The number of young carers has increased by 19 per cent over the last decade.

“Young carers are a particu­ larly vulnerable group and should be recognised as such,” said Saul Becker, professor of social work and social policy at the University of Sussex.

“They should not only benefit from the universal implementa­ tion of their rights, but be sub­ ject to additional and tailored policy and support measures with a scale and intensity that is proportionate to their level of disadvantage.

“International human rights law requires States to adopt af­ firmative actions in fulfilling their obligations to respect the equality principle.

“One could argue the lack of positive actions from states to support young carers is a failure to protect and promote these rights.”

Skin lightening cream warning LOCAL government leaders have warned of the dangers of skin­lighten­ ing creams that ‘act like paint strip­ per’ and increase the risk of cancer.

The Local Government Association (LGA) is urging people to avoid illegal creams after recent seizures by coun­ cils of dangerous products.

They fear criminals are exploiting a soaring market by making inferior tox­ ic products which are being sold by rogue retailers, online and at car boot sales and market stalls.

Many of the toxic creams contain the bleaching agent hydroquinone ­ described as the biological equivalent

THE exact term ‘aromathera­ py’ originated in the 1920s, nevertheless, plant oils have actually been used by many different civilisations for thou­ sands of years.

If it weren’t for the inven­ tion of chemical products and pharmaceuticals, natural med­ icines made from plants would probably still be very popular today, although in some parts of the world, they still are.

The following takes a look at how the use of essential

of paint stripper ­ while others can in­ clude potentially deadly levels of mer­ cury. But the illegal products typically list their often harmful ingredients in­ correctly.

Simon Blackburn, chair of the LGA’s safer and stronger communities board, said: “Skin creams containing banned ingredients are very dangerous and could seriously damage your health, scar you for life and even kill you, so they should be avoided at all costs.

“Consumers should always check the ingredients of their skin creams, be suspicious of very low prices which are likely to indicate the

lotion is fake and potentially harmful, and never use a product containing hydroquinone.

“If the product doesn’t display the ingredients at all, then don’t use it.”

DANGERS: Illegal skin whitening creams pose health risks.

Aromatherapy origins plant oils has developed from Egyptian times to the present day.

Egypt The Egyptians were using essential oils (or plant essences as they were then called) as far back as 3000 BC. Myrrh and cedar wood were utilised in the embalm­ ing process and the Egyptians burnt frankincense to purify the air in their places of wor­ ship. They also kept records of how to use the oils on stone tablets, which is how we know about them today.

Ancient Greeks The Ancient Greeks learnt their knowledge of the em­ ployment of essential oils from the Egyptians. They also made their own discoveries.

Greek soldiers going into bat­ tle carried creams made from

myrrh to help treat their wounds.

Hippocrates, the Greek physician, mentions plant essences in his writings and was a great believer that a dai­ ly aromatic bath and massage was the key to good health.

China Herbal medicine has been used in China alongside acupuncture since 2000 BC. The definitive classic book of Chinese herbal medicine known as ‘Pen ts’ao kang ­ mou’ lists over 8,000 different formulae ­ nearly all of them plant based.

India Plants have always formed the basis of Indian medicine.

Even today over 60 per cent of their modern medicaments are derived from natural prod­ ucts.

Land reserved for the culti­ vation of plants was tended with great care and the work­ ers that handled the plants were also well looked after.

Europe What happened in Europe during the 10th century (known as the Dark Ages) is unclear due to a lack of writ­ ten records. By the 12th cen­ tury, however, knights that had left to fight in the Cru­ sades brought back many oils and herbs. People then start­ ed to experiment with native herbs such as lavender, rose­ mary and thyme.

When the printing press was invented in the 15th cen­ tury, methods of use and recipes were published in books known as ‘herbals.’

In 1665, at the time of the Great Plague in Britain, people

in London burned cedar wood, lavender and cypress in the streets to help fight the plague.

Modern Aromatherapy The birth of modern aro­ matherapy can be attributed to the French chemist René­ Maurice Gattefossé. Whilst working in his laboratory he badly burned his hand and immediately plunged it into the nearest bowl of liquid, which just happened to be lavender oil. He was amazed at how quickly his hand healed and with hardly any scarring.

He then started researching the healing properties of other essential oils, by using them on patients in a military hospi­ tal during the First World War and received excellent results.

In 1928, René used the term ‘Aromathérapie’ in a scientific paper and in 1937 published a book with the same name.

‘More relaxed’ DAME HELEN MIRREN, 74, has revealed she used to be ‘paranoid’ about her looks, but now ‘doesn’t give a flying f***.’

The actress told Bella magazine she worried far more about her looks when she was younger than she does today, and said it is ‘not fair’ that women are made to feel like they should look like teenagers.

Mirren was talking ahead of the premiere of her new TV show, Catherine The Great, which aired last Thursday on Sky One. During her frank interview, she ac­ knowledged that ‘of course’ she looked better years ago, but that she was ‘miserable and paranoid,’ whereas she is far more relaxed about her ap­ pearance now.

The actress went on to say that women are constantly faced with younger mod­ els thrust in their faces and are expect­ ed to compete.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome has a high rate of incidence among older women CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME is one of the most common diseases among workers who perform tasks related to manual efforts and repetitive movements of the arm and af­ fects 3 per cent of the population, mainly women in their 40’s and 60’s.

Dr Vicente Carratalá, head of the Hand and Arm Unit of Quirónsalud Valencia Hos­ pital, said: “This Neuropathy occurs when the median nerve that extends from the forearm to the hand is squeezed or com­ pressed as it travels through the wrist.

This disorder is very common in people who carry out repetitive movements such as in household chores, working on assembly lines, carpenters, painters or prolonged use of the computer mouse.

According to D Luís Sánchez Navas, head of the Hand and Arm Unit of Quirónsalud Alicante, the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include pain, tingling and numb­ ness in the palm of the hand and in the thumb, index and middle fingers.

Dr Sánchez Navas added: “As symptoms become more intense there may also be a

feeling of clumsiness and lack of strength when performing pincer gestures begins to appear due to an atrophy of the muscles de­ pendent on this nerve.”

One of the most significant advances in the treatment of this neuropathy has been the approach using minimally invasive tech­ niques, including endoscopic techniques, be­ ing able to release the nerve throughout its path through the wrist by making just a one centimetre incision with a minimum involve­

ment of the soft tissues, which leads to least discomfort in the postoperative period, with minimal pain and almost immediate mobili­ ty.

Benchmarks in the treatment of hand and arm injuries The Hand and Arm Units of Quirónsalud Alicante and Valencia, have experts in mini­ mally invasive techniques for the treatment of joint injuries such as arthroscopy, both wrist and hand, including rhizarthrosis or

arthrosis of the base of the thumb, elbow and shoulder, which allows an optimal and precise treatment of ligament and tendon injuries that may appear. They are also spe­ cialists in regenerative therapies such as the eco­guided infiltration of platelet growth factors in tendon and muscle injuries.

Arthroscopy is a technique for the treat­ ment of joint injuries with the aid of a cam­ era and minimal incisions. This offers the great advantage of being able to explore the joint in its entirety, without depending on the limited field obtained with conventional open surgery, working with magnification and having state­of­the­art materials and implants, through which the lesion can be treated very precisely without the need for aggressive surgery or large incisions. This is highly beneficial for the subsequent recov­ ery of the patient. Also, the fact that work­ ing together in a coordinated manner with traumatologists, rehabilitators and physio­ therapists, regardless of the injury requiring surgery or otherwise, provides a significant advantage in the early recovery of injuries.

The couple were spotted on board a luxury boat with a host of pals including former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James.

Flack, aged 39, and former tennis star Burton, aged 27, started dating in July.

Celebrity spotters say the couple’s sunshine break appeared to be clouded by a row, but it’s unclear what was the cause of the conflict.

The TV presenter, at one point, appeared to be showing Burton a text on the screen of her mobile phone.

She was later seen intently typing on her mobile as she sat alone while Burton enjoyed a beer with beauty Ashley Jones who wore a tiny black bikini.

A couple of days later Flack hinted that all was not well in her personal life when she posted on Instagram telling fans she felt she ‘needed to laugh.’ Flack and Burton, now a model, went on Instagram earlier this year to announce they were an item.

ed until the morning. There are a number of rules put in place for everyone’s safety and anyone aged between 10 and 14 must be ac­ companied by an adult aged 18 or over at all times. This is just one of a number of Hal­ loween style events organised by private com­ panies, restaurants and councils with the in­ tent of ensuring that everyone who takes part has a safe time.

Another highly regarded

group of exceptional musi­ cians, El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico was formed in 1962 and they have been taking their brand of music around the world ever since going as far afield as Australia, China and Japan plus of course Europe and they will soon be playing at the Discoteca Mana Mur­ cia in Murcia City.

ONE of the first considerations, when buying a house in Spain is the type of community you want to live in and the type of property.

For those of you who want the urban lifestyle, near to chic restaurants, nightlife and incred­ ible culture, then, like the vast majority of Spaniards, you should consider buying or rent­ ing an apartment. The flats in Spain tend to be larger and more open than apartments, than those in say, England and the majority will have a balcony or terrace to enjoy the fresh air.

For people that want to live a more isolated lifestyle, with a back to nature feel, then the houses of the ‘campo’ (or coun­ tryside) should be a considera­ tion. Given that the majority of the local population tend to be very sociable people, they do not want to live such an isolated existence and therefore bar­ gains can be found.

Town or Country - the choices in Spain there can be problems if people have extended their houses or if you want to at a later date. In these properties access to facili­ ties may not be available. So there is no guarantee that the property will have mains water, mains sewage, electricity or tele­ phone, let alone the internet. In some houses, they do not have a telephone line and no internet signal. Shops and medical facili­ ties can also be a trek away and could involve a long drive just to get a loaf of bread.

For people who want the lux­ urious ‘villa’ lifestyle then there are many available, many are on urbanisations often high above the towns. These urbanisations, of more modern housing, will generally have access to most modern facilities. Many expats

VILLAGE HOUSING: Alternative locations.

of various nationalities tend to live in such communities so it will not be unusual for a person to have a multitude of nationali­ ties surrounding them.

The other alternative location is to live in a village or small town. Living in such places is dif­ ferent from most English equiva­ lents. The facilities are far better, with bars, public swimming pools, doctors and pharmacies located in most villages. There is a real sense of community and a chance to integrate with the lo­ cal Spanish community, which is great for those that want to learn the language. Against this, the majority of houses in the vil­ lages will tend to have little or no garden and the rules regard­ ing the installation of swimming pools are strict and prohibitive.

The contest honours outstand­ ing product and communication design and draws attention to the fundamental importance of brand and brand design in the automotive industry.

Initially unveiled at EICMA (Mi­ lan) 2018 the Vitpilen 701 Aero concept is a collaboration be­ tween Husqvarna Motorcycles and Austrian design agency, Kiska.

It builds on the unique design approach that runs through the Vitpilen series. As a concept, it in­ dicates the evolving direction of Husqvarna Motorcycles, continu­ ing to satisfy the exacting de­ mands of dedicated and discern­ ing riders.

The Vitpilen 701 Aero concept is a modern faired sport bike with an innovative design ap­ proach that pays its respects to the past.

Built around a modern, single­

cylinder engine with an elevated power output, it features a sporty look that hints at the po­ tential for a more performance­ oriented future for Husqvarna Motorcycles’ street range.

Featuring a lower and more locked­in position, the Vitpilen 701 Aero concept offers a fully immersive riding experience.

Combining an appealing classic design with thrilling perfor­ mance, it aims to deliver an expe­ rience that recaptures the pure exhilaration of riding a motorcy­ cle.

This is not the first time a con­ cept built by Husqvarna Motorcy­ cles and KISKA has earned an in­ dustry plaudit.

The Vitpilen 701 concept won an iF Design Award at the 2016 iF Product Design Awards Competi­ tion. One year later, the Vitpilen 701 and Vitpilen 401 models were formally launched by Husq­ varna Motorcycles.

WOLVES matched up to City, not their passi n g e q u a l s b u t w e re pretty nifty at it, and took all the pace out of the game.

They had three good chances in the first half and would have been disappointed not to have been in front in the first half but at half time the game was goal­ less. All the action was late in the second half.

On the 80th minute, Cancelo played a poor pass and Jimenez countered, squared to Traore at precisely the right moment, Tra­ ore drew in and Ederson opened his body and slotted in­ side the near post. It was a love­ ly goal, very beautifully taken that saw Wolves go 0­1.

Eight points at this stage of the season would be a huge lead, and if City can’t score, that would be the deficit they would be facing. Liverpool have started the season with the swagger of a team who know, but City didn’t seem in­ spired by it at all and couldn’t get level.

As the game went into injury time, again Jimenez found Tra­ ore and again he kept his head, steadying himself as he chal­ lenged and came into slot past

Liverpool go 8 clear as City slump WOLVES: Celebrating great result.

Hosts celebrate another win IT was a great night for the Japanese who took full advantage of a late gift by Samoa to grab a bonus­point victory, with the final score 38­19.

Samoa played as if their Rugby World Cup lives depended on it, and now they are on their way home, they battled well and proved very testing opponents for the Japanese.

Henry Taefu was su­ perb, he scored all 19 points for Samoa, with a try, a conversion and four penalties.

Japan have three wins out of three, and 14 from a possible 15 points in their pool. The hosts will go into their final match

SEE-SAW BATTLE: Samoa tested Japan, but are out of the tournament. of the pool stage against Scotland next week in full control of this group.

They can lose to Scotland ­ a losing bonus point would still take them through.

“It was hard work out

there. It took us a long time… they are a quality side and they showed it, especially in the first h a l f , i t w a s a s e e­ s a w battle,” said the Japan­ ese Skipper after the game.

Ederson inside that same near post, it was brilliant from Wolves making it 0­2 and leav­ ing Man City eight points behind Liverpool at the top of the table.

A brilliant performance and result from Wolves, who were the better side in the first half, before holding it down in the second, then taking their chances brilliantly. Wolves man­ ager ‘Nuno’ has done such a job with Adama Traore turning him to an excellent player.

Man City manager, Pepe Guardiola, said he thought Manchester City lost their confidence after making first­half mistakes.

He went on to say: “It was a bad day, sometimes it hap­ pens,” he said. “We started quite well and after we conced­ ed two situations in our build­ up where it’s impossible to de­ fend, we got a little bit nervous.”
