DOUBTS: An Alicante notary thought something was amiss with the document and notified the police.

Eagle-eyed notary AN eagle-eyed notary was pivotal in frustrating an inheritance fraud.

Police arrested five individuals suspected of falsifying a power of attorney from the Spanish embassy in Berlin to get their hands on up to â‚Ź350,000 in bank accounts and properties in Madrid and Alicante which had belonged to a German who died two years ago.

It worked to get them the properties in the national capital, which they passed on to a company to then transfer to buyers.

But when they presented the power of attorney which seemed to show their right to the cash to the Alicante notary, the way it was written, the kind of paper and the stamps set off alarm bells.

Alicante police investigations showed this to be the case.

Police subsequently identified the suspected fraudsters and located the legitimate heirs.

In addition, the bank accounts were legally blocked to prevent the suspects from gaining access.

PRECARIOUS: Visitors can walk along the gorge’s steep walls.

One of the most dangerous walkways PERCHED upon the walls of a frighteningly narrow gorge in the province of Malaga is a walkway called ‘El Caminito del Rey.’ The King’s Pathway is located in El Chorro lake district and is famous for its scary 100-metre drop.

Initially, the walkway was built for workers at the hydroelectric power plant at Chorro Falls. They used the path to cross between the two sides of the gorge and transport materials. In

1921, King Alfonso XIII crossed the bridge for the inauguration of the Guadalorce dam. From that moment onwards, the pathway received its iconic name.

El Caminito del Rey has been known as the ‘world’s most dangerous walkway’ after five people fell to their deaths between 1999 and 2000. Enthusiastic climbers would try and traverse the perilous path, but many sections of concrete were collapsed, with only narrow steel beams for support.

Following the inevitable accidents, the local government closed both entrances. For a decade, the gangway remained closed due to disrepair. But after four years of renovations and a €9 million budget, the walkway reopened to the public in 2015.

Currently, the King’s Pathway is an emblematic tourist attraction and tickets are mostly sold out. Visitors can walk 2.9 kilometres along the side of the stunning gorge and observe the walkway’s history in the museum.

Boosting British tourism Chilling sibling attack BOOSTING British visitor numbers and offsetting any possible negative impact of Brexit were top of the agenda for the Alicante delegation at last week’s World Travel Market in London.

Deputy Mayor Mari Carmen Sanchez held a number of meetings with tour operators and agencies.

She stressed the provincial Tourist Board is working to ensure the UK market continues to choose Alicante as their ‘star destination.’

The Tourist Board also took the opportunity to hold talks with Jet2holidays. The company has added to the number of air tickets it offers to Alicante after seeing a growing demand from British customers as a result of Thomas Cook’s recent bankruptcy and bust.

In addition Alicante is working on consolidating its image as a city break and year-round holiday destination, highlighting the available tourist products and offers.

NEW AGE POLITICS OCTOBER 26 officially marked four years of political limbo for Spain. Starting in autumn of 2015 when Mariano Rajoy called for elections, a consolidated government hasn’t been formed since. Two general elections and a vote of no confidence later, meant Spaniards would have to visit the ballot boxes once again. Turbulence and disorientation reigned in the months running up to November 10, with parties desperately trying to strengthen their standing.

However, further confusion follows the general elections after a very divided vote.

The repeat national election was meant to break the deadlock, but has only managed to block the political sphere even more.

The third elections have been a fiasco for the left, that could have easily avoided them by joining forces. Far from reinforcing acting government PSOE, the results have boosted right-wing party PP and meant the rise of far-right party Vox. Pedro Sánchez acting president - has won the elections a second time, but will find forming government an even harder task than back in April. His main allies, Unidas Podemos, have gone from 45 seats to 35 and new party Más País has only managed three seats.

PP has gone from 66 seats to a healthy 88 and Vox has increased from 24 to 52, in a big breakthrough for the far-right. PSOE had faced the elections with confidence, but has instead lost three seats.

Results for Ciudadanos have seen the party sink from 57 to a measly 10 seats.

PSOE WINS: Pedro Sánchez has won the elections.

T h e i r l e a d e r, A l b e r t Rivera, shocked his party with a swift resignation following the news. Until a year ago, Spain was the only European country without a xenophobic party in C o n g r e s s . N o w, Vo x h a s achieved 962,000 more votes than in April and can be considered the third political force in the country.

The ghost of a Left-wing coalition will haunt Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Iglesias - leader of Unidas Podemos - who weren’t able to reach an agreement over the sum-

mer. Sunday’s election has seen their votes plummet and their options grow slimmer.

General participation went down all over the country, with citizens having grown weary of the legislative instability.

It was notable that in areas of high agricultural activity and greenhouses, Vox received considerable support. Algeciras, Estepona, Mazarrón, Cartagena and Torre Pacheco are some of t h e a r e a s w h e r e Vo x r e ceived a generous backing.

Going forward, options are limited and negotiations will be complex.

The simple days of bipartisanship are a thing of the past and now Spain will have to contend with coalitions and the new age of politics. The blockage continues, but there is maybe one advantage: it will be hard to force yet another election.

Pupils from the Santa Maria Magdalena school visited the town hall on Friday to hand over a letter in which they asked the mayor, Miguel Angel Garcia and Equality councillor Victor Bisquert to find a name of a woman which would suit one of Benitachell’s streets.

Councillor Mayte Roldan greeted the youngsters and showed them around the mayor’s office and the meeting room, telling them, “it is here where the important decisions are taken.”

With the help of their teacher the children explained the reason for their visit and why they were making the request. Their investigations of neighbouring localities revealed many have road names referring to female religious figures (saints and virgins), but El Poble Nou has none.

‘Knifed brother then set fire to home’ A MAN has been arrested for allegedly attacking his brother with a knife then setting fire to the family home in Alicante.

National Police say that the 41-year-old man of Spanish nationality had broken a restraining order during the incident, which banned him from approaching the property.

The victim called 091 help after being threatened and injured in the arm with a knife.

He managed to escape from the house and waited for help.

When officers of the Prevention and Reaction Unit (UPR) arrived at the scene and went up to the building to look for the aggressor, the house was already in flames.

Despite the fire, the police managed to access the house and, once inside, found the alleged aggressor unconscious on the floor of one of the rooms. Two officers were able to take him outside where they called for an ambulance and the fire brigade, while they tried to revive him.

Medics arrived and treated the victim and his alleged attacker who was unconscious.

Two of the policemen also received medical care for smoke inhalation and were taken to hospital, although they were discharged soon after.

After firefighters quelled the blaze, an inspection found the detained man had allegedly piled up a mattress and a large quantity of clothes in a corridor, which he then set fire to.

The detainee, was taken to the Alicante Provincial Police Station after being discharged from hospital.

Cheque scammers arrested THREE fraudsters have been arrested in Alicante after they looted almost €100,000. The defendants would falsify bank cheques that they would make third parties collect.

Guardia Civil made the arrests in Elda and Novelda and accused the Spanish men as the alleged perpetrators of a crime of fraud, forgery of private documents, threats and false denunciation. The scammed money currently amounts to €94,000.

Investigations started in July when police discovered a cheque had been modified. The amount and name of the recipient company was replaced,

in an attempt to fraudulently collect €43p000 at a branch in Novelda. Officers were able to identify the alleged author and subsequently detained him in Elda. It was a 63-year-old Spanish man, who was charged with fraud and the forgery of a private document.

A matter of days after the first arrest, a similar crime occurred again. A man reported having been the victim of a scam after receiving a fake note payable for more than €51,000. This time the author was a 45-year-old man who was in collusion with the first detainee. The third man was alleged to have made a false complaint.

All three have been released with charges awaiting trial.

FALSE CHEQUES: Guardia Civil in Elda discovered the modified cheque.

Doomed estate revisited DENIA and Pego are being forced to provide basic ser vices to a residential development started in 1979.

The two consistories

have been told that if they do not fix the deficiencies, they may become liable.

Residents in Monte Pego hope that Denia and Pego take the issue seriously and

resolve building work that has been ongoing for 40 years.

Court proceedings in the Sindic de Greuges have made it clear that the construction must fix all the issues in the residential estate.

They need to resurface roads, put security in place, connect the water to sanitation and install street lighting. However, the Sindic has warned that if repairs are not completed, responsibility will fall to the town halls.

Denia and Pego would

have to take over the necessar y work and then pass the bill onto the company.

The court decision emphasises that the municipality adopt the necessary measures to ensure the housing development has access to public services. It warns that the Spanish Constitution recognises the right of citizens to have decent housing.

The local councils would incur liability and have to pay compensation if the estate continues to lack adequate conditions.

Ministers have taken action and will build a containment wall to slow down the advance of the infectious disease.

The Ministry of Agriculture selected Benitachell as the municipality for building the wall in a bid to stop the northward advance of Xylella. The plague kills almond trees and is threatening rain-fed crops on the Mediterranean.

Public company Tragsa had already launched a contention plan after farmers

criticised the previously proposed idea of total eradication.

This new protocol will only eliminate trees which have tested positive for the bacteria.

Abandoned plots in a 100-metre radius are also being cleared and treated. Healthy trees in plots that have seen infected specimens will no longer be destroyed.

Poble Nou de Benitachell Council is asking for the collaboration of all affected owners. The municipality is considered a strategic point and will be crucial for avoiding further expansion of Xylella.

Twenty-one years later, the company has connections with the whole peninsula and the Balearic and Canary Islands, as well as international shipments. The business has been in constant growth for two decades and is currently working on opening up more international contracts in the north of Africa and the Caribbean.

Finestrat mayor Juan Francisco Perez has signed an agreement with parish priest Vicente Castaño, under which the local authority will continue to invest in the project.

The works got underway last year with the cleaning up and renovation of the crypts with council financing of just short of €50,000. Under the new agreement the local administration will allocate a further €55,439 to finance the following phase in accordance with the project backed by the council and the Diocese of Orihuela.

The Finestrat mayor made it clear his administration supported the initiative as “the conservation of our heritage.”

“It is very important to work every year and to contribute investments to implement this project,” Perez added.

The council also points out that doing the exercise in water greatly reduces the risk of any kind of injury.

The local authority recommends aqua gym for people with muscle or joint problems or for anyone going through physical therapy.

The Hydrological Cycle Commission has approved all grants for water sanitation and supply works and repairs, with a budget of €2.3 million.

Alicante’s government will expand the aid for hydraulic infrastructure given to small municipalities by 100 per cent and get rid of bureaucratic charges.

The objective is to reduce the administrative burden for small villages that generally lack sufficient technical staff.

These grants will allow the municipalities to be exempt from any financial contributions for this type of work.

Meaning they can allocate the amounts, that r ange bet ween €1,500 t o €3,000, to other needs.

Park stabbing sentence AN Alicante court has sentenced a man to six years in prison for a stabbing during an argument over a debt in a city park.

He was accused of getting into a scuffle with another man in the San Blas district and knifing him seven times in May 2016.

The victim would reportedly have died from his injuries if he had not received medical assistance in time.

According to Spanish media the defendant had arranged to meet the victim in the park to demand he pay him money he was owed.

Also, that he had allegedly sent a friend a recorded WhatsApp message beforehand in which he said he was fed up with the other man and was thinking of taking a knife to threaten him.

It appears the conversation between two men got very heated. The victim, who has since passed away due to other causes, punched the defendant in the face who responded with the knife. He then fled the scene, leaving the victim laid out on the ground.

The defendant admitted at his trial he had stabbed the man, but his defence argued it was only after he was punched first, also alleging he had been under the influence of drugs and his behaviour had been a fit of rage.

As well as six years, the aggressor has been sentenced to pay €22,828 compensation to the victim’s family and a further €68,152 for the repercussions.

BREXIT BRIEF

Fewer Brexit candidates

by John Smith ALTHOUGH the Brexit Party previously announced that it would contest at least 600 seats in the forthcoming election, it has now had a change of mind according to leader Nigel Farage.

There was an original suggestion of a pact with the Conservatives that the Brexit Party would not contest certain key seats and although the pact never saw the light of day, he has decided that no Brexit candidate will stand in 317 seats previously won by the Conservatives in THERE is a significant side effect from the decision by Nigel Farage to stop Brexit party candidates from standing against the Conservatives in 317 constituencies and that is anger.

In order to stand, the candidates had to answer a number of questions about their personal lives and make a

This is relatively good news for Boris Johnson, as the votes will not be split and Farage believes that (despite him calling the latest deal worse than that presented by Theresa May) the only way to get to Brexit

Boris was quick off the mark to make political capital of the decision saying that he welcomed this as it was “a recognition that there’s only one way to get Brexit done, and that’s to vote for the Conservatives.”

VILLAJOYOSA has signed up to the third Regional March against Gender Violence, which will be staged in La Nucia on November 23.

Organised by the Marina Baixa Regional Equality Council to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, the march will begin at 5pm at the Plaça dels Musics.

The priority objective this time around is to get young people involved in the fight to make gender-based violence a thing of the past.

Villajoyosa Council stressed the idea of initiative is to raise awareness about the need to take measures to eradicate this social problem, which not only affects women as the direct victims of abuse and physical and psychological abuse, but also those around them. By focusing the action particularly on the younger generation this year the hope is that they will act as agents of the necessary social change.

As every year, a number of different women’s associations and survivors of domestic violence will be taking part.

Participating collectives include the Asociacion Mujeres con Voz (Women

La Batukada Jam will be providing

the musical accompaniment to the marchers. And when they get to the social centre local saxophonist Roman Rodriguez will perform.

Youngsters from every Marina Baixa region municipality represented on the council will then read out the manifesto, after which there will be a

performance of a gender violencerelated work by the La Nucia Dance School.

Locos de Atar, a group which won an Against Gender Violence award in a Women with a Voice Associationorganised initiative, will then provide the suitably activist entertainment.

The Marina Baixa Regional Equality Council is formed by the local councils of Finestrat, La Nucía, Villajoyosa, Altea, Callosa d’en Sarria, Polop de la Marina, l’Alfas del Pi, Benidorm and the Marina Baixa Council association. Its goal is to carry out joint awareness-raising campaigns on gender equality and the prevention of gender-based violence.

“This third Regional March against Gender Violence aims to raise awareness among the population about this social scourge,” commented Villajoyosa Equality councillor Asun Lloret.

“It’s important that all the Marina Baixa municipalities get involved in this march and that we go hand-inhand to fight against this serious problem which inhibits many women and does not allow them to live their lives safely, even costing them the lives of 50 women so far this year,” the councillor added.

“Sexist violence is one of the main problems in our society, and with actions like this we can transform the current social reality into a reality which favours free, strong and safe women,” she declared.

PLAN: The council proposes building a new institute in a residential area to meet growing demand for school places due to population growth.

Push for secondary school FINESTRAT Council is pushing for the construction of what would b e t h e m u n i c i p a l i t y ’s f i r s t s e c ondary school.

Finestrat mayor Juan Francisco Perez had a meeting in Valencia last week with the regional government Education ministry’s Educational Planning department with a view to advancing the construction process.

The council leader also took to the meeting the issue of more classrooms for the Balco de Finestrat junior school.

The council reported it presented the relevant report to request an institute in November last year.

“A year has gone by and we have not had a response,” the mayor said.

“Hence we decided to have this meeting at the regional Education ministry to put the indications on the table that we deserve this institute, which is, mainly, the demographic growth Finestrat is experiencing.”

According to the council the number of enrolments in for the 2019-20 academic year was up 20 per cent on the previous year.

“Hence, at this time we are the municipality with the best figures in terms of general and school population growth,” Perez pointed out.

“What’s more,” he added, “this would be

an answer not only for Finestrat pupils, but also for those in Sella, Orxeta and Relleu. In fact those mayors have joined us on our proposal, with which we would also be promoting rural repopulation with the provision of services for children living in the province’s inland villages.

On the matter of more classrooms for the Balco de Finestrat, which opened in 2010, “this is also an issue which faces us in Valencia,” the mayor commented.

He maintained all the school’s classrooms are divided, plus it is located in an area of residential expansion, “therefore we estimate that at least two more classrooms are needed to meet the demand for school places.”

The council described last week’s meeting, which was also attended by Finestrat Council Education specialist Angel Lloret and the municipal architect Francisco Monzo, as ‘positive,’ and said the Educational Planning department agreed the figures showed action in the municipality was needed.

The council said it hoped for a quick response from the regional administration.

The local authority has already offered an 11,000sqm plot in an area of residential complexes for the construction of a new school.

The pavements will border the half-kilometre stretch of road that begins at the intersection of Carrer dels Fusters with Avenida de la Estacion, as the town hall is planning a pedestrian route linking the centre of Benissa with the railway station serving the Line 9 train between Benidorm-Alicante.

Meanwhile, the route is likely to be finished long before the service is resumed as the line is expected to be closed until 2022 for modernisation.

Voting in the UK General Election BRITISH citizens living abroad may vote in UK general elections, referendums and European Parliament elections for up to 15 years after leaving the UK but may only do so if they were registered to vote in the UK while living there.

Those who were under 18 at the time of leaving the UK may vote as long as their parent or guardian was registered to vote in the UK and must apply accordingly.

The actual limit is arbitrary and has changed from as little as seven years to more than 15, but it was Conservative policy that the time limit should be scrapped and it supported a private members bill to this effect.

For various reasons, it was not considered possible to push the bill through prior to the Brexit Referendum or the last election and now it was talked out of Parliament earlier in the year, so those who have lived outside of the UK for more than 15 years will not be allowed to vote in the General Election on December 12.

If you are already registered with your local council as an active voter living overseas then it is expected that your ballot paper will be posted to you on or about

November 20.

If however you have not yet confirmed registration, but were registered on the electoral list prior to your leaving the UK (or were under 18 and qualify) , then this must be done by 5pm November 26 and your ballot paper should be posted on November 30.

Due to the tight time frame there is a very strong risk that some Overseas Electors would not be able to receive and return a postal vote in time for it to be counted by 10pm on the day of election.

There is also the possibility that a postal strike by Royal Mail will take place in November/December 2019 which could cause chaos for postal votes.

Because of this local councils are strongly advising that potential voters should consider changing their arrangement to a proxy vote instead by appointing someone to vote on their behalf, but they would need to be registered themselves and be eligible to vote in national elections.

As European nationals are not able to vote in UK Parliamentary elections, your proxy would need to hold British, Irish or Commonwealth nationality.

Proxy forms for Overseas & Crown Servant Electors are available to download from the website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apply-to-vote-by-proxy-if-youre-living-overseas.

Most Councils can accept a scanned form as an image attached to an email.

BONUS: The Finestrat mayor said the event promoted the area as a top level sports tourism destination.

M O U N TA I N b i k e r s from around the world will be heading to Finestrat for the Costa Blanca Tr a i l s o n S a t u r d a y November 16.

In all 1,500 bikers will take part in the race, which has the support of the Costa Blanca Tourist Board.

Finestrat mayor Juan Francisco Perez headed the official presentation of the event, accompanied by provincial government president President Calos Mazon, in what was his first visit to the municipality.

The Finestrat mayor described the race as the “sports event of the year in Finestrat and one of the most important in the community.”

Perez said there are participants from all over Spain and from 12 other European countries, as

well as A rg e n t i n a , Uruguay, Senegal, Morocco, Antigua, Barbuda and Russia.

Between the bikers and those accompanying them, some 4,000 people will be coming to the area, he pointed out, meaning the event represents “the promotion of our locality as a national or international level sport tourism destination.”

The Diputacion de Alicante President said the event is an example of sustainable and sport tourism, stressing “the protection of the environment has to be in perfect balance with the promotion of Finestrat and the Costa Blanca.”

He also maintained Finestrat is “the Costa B l a n c a ’s m o s t c o m p l e t e municipality due to its tourism offer, where visitors have it all.”

The race has five cate-

gories according to distance and difficulty: the 101-kilometre Gran Trail; the 84kilometre ultra, which is the Spanish Cup final; the 46-kilometre marathon; the 29-kilometre Trail; and finally the Minitrail, which is 20 kilometres.

The race routes will take the bikers through some of t h e M a r i n a B a i x a ’s m o s t emblematic mountain areas, including the Puig Campana, Aitana and La Serrella, and nine municipalities: Finestrat, Polop de la Marina, Benimantell, Benifato, Beniarda, Confrides, Sella and Fageca.

On the same day as the race there will be a full programme of entertainment at Finestrat’s Plaça de la Unio Europea from 10am onwards with traditional games and juggling, and starting off at midday will be the Costa Blanca Trail Kids.

CARLOS BAOS WE CAN HELP YOU THE segregation of a plot can be a useful operation when one is interested in splitting and transferring part of a property by means

FEATURE

Considering segregating a plot?

Be aware of the steps to take of a sale or as a gift.

This operation requires the separation of a portion of land from the original plot, making it a new inde­

pendent plot, which can then be transferred A typical example of this kind of operation is one in which parents own a proper­ ty which includes a large plot and they want to give part of the land to a child to allow for the construction of a new additional property.

By such an operation the parents would segregate or divide the original property, separating part of the land in order to convert it into an independent plot at the Land Registry and then would be able to transfer only that portion, without affecting the rest of the property.

Another common situa­ tion is one in which a person wishes to expand their prop­ erty (for example to build a pool), by buying part of an

adjacent neighbour’s prop­ erty. In order to carry this out, the neighbour would make a segregation of the part of the land in which the buyer is interested, to con­ vert it into an independent land, before proceeding with the sale.

This operation may seem quite simple, but in practice requires the undertaking of certain legal and administra­ tive procedures which are mandatory if the transfer is to be done correctly.

Firstly one must contact an expert, usually an archi­ tect, to sign a segregation project report in which he must log the appropriate measurements and calcula­ tions and he is required to describe in detail the charac­ teristics of the new property to be created with the seg­

regation and how the origi­ nal property will remain.

Once this report has been made, you must usually re­ quest a Segregation Licence from the local town hall which requires the proper completion of an application form, the payment of ad­ ministration fees and pre­ sentation of the architect’s report.

Additionally to the docu­ mentation that each town hall requires there will nor­ mally be a requirement to submit proof of the payment of the fees, cadastral plan and information from the Land Registry.

The town hall will then study the project and de­ cide if, based on municipal urban planning regulations and the general urban plan­ ning, they can grant the

segregation licence.

Once you finally obtain the segregation licence, it must be formalised by means of a public deed of segregation completed be­ fore a notary and then by the registration of the deed in the corresponding Land Registry.

Once the deed is regis­ tered, the segregated por­ tion will become an inde­ pendent property and you will then be able to transmit it through sale or gift, etc.

If you wish to carry out plot segregation and require legal advice on how to do it, contact us and we will assist you.

The lawyer for three of the workers explained that 18 different firms could be involved in the lawsuit.

FLORAL OFFERING: Alfaz’s children guarantee that the fiestas will continue.

Traditions old and new THE third and final singing of the Trisagio hymns at Alfaz’s San Jose church was followed by the traditional offering of flowers.

The Trisagio Alfasino, part of Alfaz’s intangible heritage, is sung on the three days preceding November 10, the feast day of the town’s patron, the Santisimo Cristo del Buen Acierto.

The sung and recited verses are part of an oral tradition, handed down since March 1857 when the Santisimo Cristo statue arrived in the town ‘to adorn a more than lifesize cross.’

Hundreds of festeros celebrating the fiestas left their flowers with parish priest Fr Angel Schiller at the foot of the altar.

Local participation in the offering of the flowers was, as always, high but the many children taking part guaranteed the continuity of the local fiestas, Vicente Arques, Alfaz’s mayor said.

Not only flowers were taken to the San Jose church and the mayor thanked the festeros and members of the public for bringing food and basic staples for distribution by the local Volunteers Association.

Forty-two of the peñas fiestas clubs and their 850 members, who included children and adults, took part in Alfaz’s three days of processions, parades, dancing until the early hours and fireworks displays, including the final ‘bombardeo’ that brought the fiestas to an end in the Plaza Mayor.

Special needs teacher needed AN Alfaz school has been waiting since September for a special needs teacher.

The parents of seven pupils affected by the delay said they deliberately chose the Veles e Vents school because they had been informed that there would be a specialist teacher available for their children throughout the 2019-2020 academic year.

One family explained that they were particularly concerned because their child needs constant supervision during meals, as his condition means that he is liable to choke while eating.

Other parents with children at the school claimed that they are also adversely affected by the situation.

“The teachers have to attend to the special needs pupils and pay less attention to our children and their daily activities,” they said.

Veles e Vents sources quoted in the local Spanish media explained that the regional Education Department has approved and appointed a special needs teacher, whose arrival is imminent.

Meanwhile the school’s pupil-teacher ratio is within the established requirements, although the same sources admitted that teachers were sometimes overstretched.

Eleven new town hall jobs CALPE Town Hall took on 11 new staff under a regional government scheme to help under-30s enter the labour market.

This is the fourth year that the municipality has taken part in the employment programme which is part-financed by the European Social Fund, receiving a total of €212,277.

The scheme covers both the qualified and unqualified jobless and this year the town hall engaged an architect, a social worker, a biologist, an infants’ instructor and a tourism official.

Campaign promise soon broken CALPE’S Partido Popular had to remove campaign placards from local lampposts following a complaint from the PSOE. The PSOE socialists argued that the placards contravened a formal agreement between the principal political parties, signed before a notary, that they would reduce election campaign spending.

Two hours after the complaint from the socialists, who had announced that they were prepared to report the infringement to the Electoral Committee, all of the placards with photos of the PP’s presidential candidate Pablo Casado and the party’s campaign slogans had been removed.

CALPE STATION: No trains to Denia since July 2016.

No train today (still) UNTIL the Quisi Viaduct issue has been resolved, the Calpe-Denia rail link cannot reopen.

This section of Line 9 between Benidorm and Denia was closed in July 2016 on safety grounds while modernisation was carried out, although the regional rail operator FGV initially estimated that all of Line 9 between would come into service by 2019.

This was soon put back to early 2020 and it now seems inevitable that Line 9 passengers will continue making the CalpeDenia journey on a bus provided by FGV until 2022.

Completing the project is closely linked to building a new bridge over the Quisi ravine in Benissa, which FGV believes will take a little over two years to build.

But more than engineering problems are attached to the viaduct.

Last September, Benissa Council voted unanimously in favour of a motion presented by Compromis calling for the project to be halted while other options are sought.

Since 2018 Benissa Town Hall, supported by the local population and railway enthusiasts, has fought to save the emblematic bridge which was built in 1915 and is classed as a superb example of early 20th century railway architecture.

FVG has pointed out that alternatives are limited once the line’s new electro-diesel trains are introduced.

These will run as trams on electrified sections and conventional diesel locomotives elsewhere, but the existing viaduct over the Quisi ravine will not be able to take their weight.

If the entire Line 9 is ever to reopen, the rail operator insisted, a new bridge must be built, parallel to the revered 1915 structure.

Bridging a hazardous gap THE footbridge over the Calpe section of the N-332 should soon become a reality.

The national government, which is responsible for Spain’s main roads and motorways, has put out to tender contracts for maintaining the AP-7 toll road which reverts to the State next year.

Not only does this appear to confirm that the State will abolish tolls, but the Ministry of Public Works €13.78 million tender for the AP-7’s Alicante section involves work on the N-332.

This will connect Calpe’s CV-746 with the N-332 and include the much-needed footbridge linking the town centre with residential areas.

Sailor rejects rescue BUSY: Called out twice in three days.

THE same Salvamento Maritimo helicopter that saved 22 marooned Javea paddleboarders was involved three days later in rescuing a yachtsman.

The 75-year-old Frenchman was sailing alone when his catamaran got too close to the Els Pallers cliffs in Portitxol bay.

He was trying to take shelter from the gales that had been

blowing for days and, unaware that there were submerged rocks in the area, scraped and holed the left hull, which was soon submerged. With a wind-damaged mast and a fast-sinking craft, the sailor made a call for help to the Emergency Services.

In normal circumstances they would have sent out the Salvamento Maritimo boat, Salvamar Diphda, based in Javea, but this had a faulty engine and instead

the helicopter was sent out to winch the sailor to safety.

One of the rescue team descended to help hoist him up to the helicopter but he refused, saying he was too old to do it.

Looking for a solution, the rescue team advised the Sol Tercer de Xabia fishing boat, out near the Portitxol Island at the time, of their problem.

The French sailor then took his Zodiac and made for the fish-

ing boat which took him to Javea port, although the Sol Tercer skipper Juan Antonio Erades revealed that he later returned to retrieve some of his belongings and other items from the stricken catamaran.

The 75-year-old has a long journey ahead of him, as he hopes to continue his journey, sailing singlehanded to the Caribbean once the boat has been repaired.

Tena was a 19-year-old member of the neo-fascist Falange party who was shot in Teulada during the 19361939 Civil War. He was one of the 106 Marina Alta residents killed by the Republicans during the War, although following Franco’s victory 1,905 local people were executed, imprisoned or purged in reprisals.

Walker’s body recovered in taxing conditions GUARDIA CIVIL managed to recover the body of a walker who went missing in the Gredos mountains in the centre of Spain following a 24-hour rescue operation in taxing conditions.

Difficult terrain and adverse weather meant it took the team more than eight hours of walking to bring the body down.

The emergency services first alerted the Guardia to the walker’s disappearance just before midnight on November 3, reporting he had failed to return to where he had parked his car.

The Guardia immediately launched the action protocol.

Two Rescue and Mountain Group specialists started the search and location operation and a helicopter from the Torrejon de Ardoz based in Madrid was mobilised, although it was unable to fly due to the weather.

Following a search of more than 12 hours on foot in strong winds, rain, snow and fog the team located the walker in an area known as Canal Norte Clasica del Almanzor in Zapardiel de la Ribera in Avila at an altitude of 2,441 metres.

At midday on November 5 Guardia officers from Greim and one from Ereim got to the location of the body to carry it down in what was by now worsening weather. They made it to the Gredos Platform just before 9.30pm where the walker’s family members were waiting to identify their loved one.

LOCAL sports clubs will be eligible for a stake in a €90,000 subsidy to promote women’s sport in Benidorm.

This will be the first time that the town hall has helped women’s sport in general, as until now grants have been made directly to specific clubs or teams, Cebreros said.

“With this formula we are making financial help available to all clubs in Benidorm and, what’s more, guaranteeing total equality and maximum transparency,” the councillor added.

“Funding will be allocated according to previously established requirements set out in the terms and conditions.” Grants will be pegged to a limit of €15,000 per club or body and must be used to cover the cost of activities, projects and prog r a m m e s a i m e d a t p r o m o t i n g w o m e n ’s sport.

ESTEPONA has made a move towards an ecofriendly future with solar powered lighting. The town hall has opted to install LED lighting connected to solar panels. More than 100 units will be installed in the first phase of the project. This new lighting will be used in different parts of the city and will cut CO2 emissions down by 18 tonnes.

The pioneering lighting system will continue the plan to reduce energy consumption and look after the environment. Deputy mayor in charge of Services - Blas Ruzafa - has announced 106 units will be installed in the city centre and outskirts.

Ruzafa explains that electricity will be generated by solar panels attached to the lights. The LEDs have a sensor that can detect ambient light and will turn on and off accordingly. Another benefit is their longer product life, that can last up to five years. And their easy set up that requires no wiring to the electricity supply.

All these beneficial characteristics will lead to savings for the city and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 18 tonnes.

The first phase will see 5,900 lights replaced by more efficient LEDs that will save approximately €160,000 in electricity bills.

THE Diputación de Malaga has approved the proposal of €1.9 million worth of projects designed to improve the facilities on the region.

The Governing Board of the Diputación de Malaga has approved the projects which cover 11 municipalities in the province and focused on the towns that have less than 20,000 residents.

The total investment is funded by the provincial institution within the Plan of Assistance and Cooperation and will aim to provide improvements to the towns’ streets and access and the remodelling of municipal swimming pools. One of the largest beneficiaries is La Viñuela which will receive a total of €499,353 to improve the southern access to the area. Works have already begun on improving the road and infrastructure, but the investment will ensure that the third and fourth stages are able to be completed.

Riogordo will receive €320,380 to refurbish their swimming pool, whilst Torrox will get €269,252 for the El Peñoncillo area of the N-340.

Other municipalities that look forward to improvement projects are Sayalonga, Periana, Alcaucin and Molino Barco.

The deputy referred to the provincial government’s “ambitious promotion campaign with which we want to intensify this market and clear up any doubts which the Brexit situation or the Thomas Cook case generate.”

He said the delegation had gone to London “with the hope of offering confidence and convinced of the virtues of the Costa de Almeria destination, which continues to be one of the British’s favourites.

“Our presence here generates numerous commercial opportunities which we have to take advantage of so they are to the benefit of Almeria Province as a tourist destination.”

Funding for floods THE Council of Ministers has authorised a payment of €18 million in aid for the damages caused by the severe floods which ravaged the Llevant area in Mallorca last year.

Pedro Sánchez, the acting Prime Minister of Spain, took advantage of his electoral rally in Palma last week to make the announcement. Accompanied by PSOE colleagues, the mayor of Palma and members of Congress, Sánchez confirmed that the state will cover a large proportion of the costs which were spent to repair the infrastructure and public facilities in the affected municipalities.

The floods of October 9 constitute as one of the most serious tragedies caused by rain to take place in Spain over the last 25 years. Claiming the lives of 13 people and injuring several others, numerous houses and roadways were also left severely damaged.

In the days after the flooding, it is reported that authorities removed over 4,200 tons of rubble and debris, carrying out 23 actions on the roads. Sant Llorenç was the worst affected town, with Artà, Manacor, Capdepera and Son Servera also suffering huge devastation.

The impact of the downpour was exacerbated by geography, infrastructure and the difficulty of forecasting the disaster.

Experts at the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) estimated that a torrential rain of this magnitude only repeats itself once in every 1,000 years.

Mayor Diego José Mateos has said further work will follow the initial restoration. The atrium will be the next project workers will undertake, with a budget of €300,000 already approved from the European Investment Bank.

Mateos explained that rehabilitation of the exterior had been impossible due to bureaucratic reasons which have now been resolved.

QATAR Airways is under fire for operating a nine­minute 38­kilometre cargo flight be­ tween Maastricht and Liège in order to sup­ ply a customer. The flight goes on to Mexi­ co, but the runway in Maastricht is too short for a heavy load.

A RECENT survey of 77 cities has placed Brussels ninth and Ghent 10th in the best places for members of the LGBTQ commu­ nity to live based on 15 factors. Reykjavik came first whilst Jakarta and Moscow came last.

Islamophobia

A NEW bill is before the German Parliament requir­ ing that all clerics from countries outside of the EU would be required to speak German before being allowed to live in the country. The bill would apply to all religions, but specifically refer to Imams.

A TURKISH report concerning Islamophobia which has just been published was meant to strengthen dialogue and greater solidarity between Europe and Turkey, but with harsh comments about Islam­ ophobia in Denmark, it has been refuted by many Danish politicians.

Open doors EVERY country has its own spy service but some are, on the face of things, more open than oth­ ers. Since the German intelligence service, the BND, moved to Berlin it has become more open and even has an interactive exhibition telling its history.

More oil

THERE seems to be an increased amount of gang violence in Sweden, the latest being an explosion in a house in Hässleholm where no one was in­ jured, but police subsequently arrested five peo­ ple believed to be involved with what happened.

AS most of the world looks for alternatives to fossil fuel, the Norwegian state oil compa­ ny Equinor has just announced a large new discovery of more oil. It is promoting change but also sees profit in the recent find.

Royal advice

DNA result

CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA, whilst attending a climate conference in Sarajevo has urged Bosnian leaders to tackle their country’s environmental problems. She said that this was a major challenge if the country still wished to join the European Union.

A BABY was found in a rubbish bin in Oslo 29 years ago and now after research of old po­ lice files and DNA tests, her mother has been identified. A forthcoming TV pro­ gramme will reveal whether the two were reunited.

FINANCE Fashion to Offices

HAVING made his fortune with fashion group Inditex which owns a number of brands such as Zara worldwide, billionaire Amancio Or­ tega recently turned his eyes to re­ al estate in the USA and has just spent €375 million to buy two buildings.

He is quite selective with his purchases and these two office blocks in Seattle house part of the Facebook empire and a further building there he owns is used by Amazon.

They now join his collection which includes buildings in Spain, the UK and South Korea.

Brexit cash-flow fears SMALL British manufacturers have suffered cash flow problems due to Brexit or rather the lack of it.

When one considers that Brexit has become a movable feast, it has to be remembered that the government has accepted and even warned that there could be significant delays or shortages in many areas especially if there had been a no deal Brexit.

Companies have therefore needed to stockpile certain mate­ rial such as parts for machinery and raw material to allow them

By John Smith to continue in business in the event that Britain crashed out of the EU. Now with the possible delay until the end of January, the fact that there could be a change of government which could still re­ sult in a Hard Brexit, no Brexit or further delay, those businesses are in something of a quandary as to what they should do in the in­ terim.

Their problem is that the im­

ports that they have purchased are not only taking up valuable space, but are a drain on their fi­ nances and although they will no doubt be able to use all of this material in the long­term, it won’t be much use if they run out of money to stay solvent.

Alternatively, if they do sud­ denly experience a run of orders due to the delay and retailers or distributors suddenly stocking up whilst they can, there will be the further conundrum of whether to import new raw materials or not.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he get escritura?

Some years ago I purchased a plot of land by a private contract with the seller. I could not register the plot in the Land Registry in my name because it was part of a double plot which had not yet been ‘segregated’ or officially subdivided.

The sale was declared, however, and the Andalucian transfer tax was paid. Now the land has been official­ ly subdivided but the seller refuses to go to the no­ tary to sign a proper ‘escritura,’ the official title deed. How can I get the title deed and what can I do if the seller, still being the registered owner, sells the plot again?

K V R (Costa del Sol)

The pri­ vate con­ YOU AND THE tract implies the LAW IN SPAIN seller’s obligation to sign a proper ti­ tle deed at the notary even if it does not specifically state this. If the seller proves obstinate, he is in viola­ tion of the law and any Spanish court will rule against him. If your seller should sell the property again, he has breached his contract and you can recover the property. We urge you to instruct a lawyer to make sure you act in the most effective manner.

Cuban defence

IT is no secret that since the re­ duction in tension between the USA and Cuba during the Obama administration that the Spanish government has been encourag­ ing companies to become in­ volved in the Cuban economy.

Now, that Donald Trump has activated the 1996 Helms­Burton Act, there is a possibility that Spanish companies may be sued for their activities within the Caribbean nation.

There may be as many as 16 Spanish companies including Iberostar, Melia, BBVA bank which could be targeted, but Spain has warned that it will chal­ lenge any and all lawsuits that may arise.

BUSINESS EXTRA

Mergers fall SPANISH mergers and acquisitions until the end of October are down by almost 10 per cent compared to the previous year but still account for expenditure of just below €63 billion with Portugal and the USA being the top foreign targets.

Interest rate THE Bank of England has kept the interest rate at 0.75 per cent but has warned that the global economy is likely to stutter and two members of the committee actually voted for an immediate hike in the rate.

Expanding south BBVA Bank in Spain is extending its online banking presence following an agreement reached in Mexico and is looking for new accounts in Argentina, Colombia and Peru. It currently has 500,000 accounts operated online by customers.

Post early for Christmas A PLANNED strike by post office workers in the UK could cause chaos in December affecting Christmas deliveries and over­ seas postal votes for the General Elec­ tion.

Some 97 per cent of workers voted for the stoppage and although no date or dates have been set, the Royal Mail is

fighting back.

They have taken legal action asking for an injunction to stop the strike, claiming that the strike ballot was ‘unlawful and, therefore, null and void.’

The operation was floated on the Stock Exchange in 2013 and in 2015 the govern­ ment sold the last of its shares.

Trusting Spain to help

By John Smith THE Amazon Group is increasing its investment in Spain by an estimat­ ed €2.5 billion by opening three new data centres in its fight against Microsoft and Google.

A subsidiary, Amazon Web Ser­ vices (AWS) which is involved with Cloud storage is the vehicle being used for this expansion which will take place in Aragon and will be ideally placed to serve all of the main business areas in Spain.

Whilst it is primarily an Amazon project, it does already supply ser­ vices to a number of Spanish com­ panies such as Mapfre, Endesa and

AMAZON: Their first office building in 1997.

More delay, more cost THE London Crossrail project which is planned to connect Reading with Shenfield and is partially open has taken another hit and will not be completed until 2021.

To add to the problems of what

is currently Europe’s biggest infrastructure scheme which should have been completed by December 2018 is that it is also believed costs are in the region of £650 million (€715 million) over the re-

vised budget.

The original targeted cost for what will be known as the Elizabeth Line was £15.9 billion (€18.25 billion) and is now likely to reach £18.25 billion (€21 billion).

BBVA and once the centres are open, they will have the capacity and reach to service most of south­ ern Europe.

This will be the seventh Euro­ pean centre of its type to be opened, after existing divisions in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Swe­ den and France, with Italy also planned.

Its two biggest competitors do not have similar centres in Spain which increases the AWS opportu­ nity as experts say that it is impor­ tant that companies have the op­ tion to store information on the Cloud through locally based opera­ tions.

Already one of the three most profitable companies in the world, Amazon has expanded quite quickly within Spain with its online sales services and warehouses and cur­ rently employs almost 5,000 work­ ers and has invested in excess of €1 billion to date.

With the new centres expected to be open by late 2022 or early 2023, the employment prospects which will include large numbers of workers constructing the buildings just continue to expand.

Less wealth SWISS bank UBS has reported that for the first time since 2015 the combined wealth of the world’s billionaires in 2018 had fallen by 4.3 per cent to $8.5 trillion (€7.7 trillion). The bulk of those affected are based in Asia.

GDP growth LATE last week, the European Commission reduced its forecast for Spain’s GDP growth in 2019 to 1.9 per cent, from the previous estimate of 2.3 per cent. This compares well to the forecast for the Eurozone of just 1.1 per cent.

Pension cuts FOLLOWING discussions with shareholders, the Standard Chartered Bank which operates in 60 countries throughout the world has agreed to reduce the pension allowances for the CEO and CFO from 20 per cent to 10 per cent of their salaries.

Heritage under threat?

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHEN is all this ridiculous, upsetting and often downright insulting reversed racism going to stop?

How long will it take for the authorities to gather the courage to persecute the minority whingers with the same fervour and enthusiasm they seem to reserve for the victimised majori­ ties, who are having to watch almost everything that comes out of their mouths in case it ‘of­ fends’ someone? Just recently we had that awful British hating Afua Hirsch, who complained that white models should not adopt Afro hair styles because it was trying to ‘steal black culture.’

Nothing of course was mentioned of the thou­ sands of hair dressing salons earning fortunes by straightening, and thereby westernising, the no­ toriously difficult hair of black ladies the world over! This week has been no exception to the ex­ ponents of this one­sided attitude, which, if they’re not careful, will turn us all into racists.

The small and pretty town of Bideford has for years been referred to as ‘Little White Town.’

This title stretches back to the 1850s when the

BIDEFORD: Known as the ‘little white town.’

town, endeavouring to repel the scourge of cholera, had all its houses painted white and cov­ ered in ash. Apparently during this period, it was referred to by author Charles Kingsley in his book Westward Ho, as a ‘little white town.’

Over the years, the name has become a part of its heritage and is proudly displayed on a num­

ber of public notices and postings. Yes, you’ve guessed it. There has now been a complaint that the name is racist! What is even more annoying, is that it appears there were actually only a cou­ ple of dissenters, but in the usual ‘minority ap­ peasement’ mode that seems to prevail over our once great country, the town council has de­

creed that the name be changed in case they ap­ peared to be advocating ‘white supremacy.’

You really couldn’t make it up could you? Once again the British culture and heritage is being threatened by PC people, who are in fact the biggest racists of all. I mean where does it all end? How long will it be before anything referred to as white offends some bigot or another?

I do actually recall, that at the end of apartheid in South Africa, it was somewhat frowned upon to ask for a white coffee and more socially ac­ ceptable to request a coffee with milk! Will Whitechapel one day be referred to as Grey­ chapel? Whitehaven become Greenhaven? Will it be the Purple Cliffs of Dover welcoming the ille­ gal immigrant paddling across the English Chan­ nel? Why don’t we expunge the word from the dictionaries altogether?

For heavens and all our sakes, when is some­ one going to get a grip and say enough is enough? The UK is already one of the most wel­ coming and politically correct places on the plan­ et. What do these bigots actually want? Will they ever be happy? If nothing is ever going to please them would it not be a better idea to find somewhere else that does? Dream on Leapy.

THE head of an FE college spent £150,000 in four years on her corporate credit card, buying lobster dinners, hiri n g c h a u ff e u r s , s t a y i n g i n five-star hotels and flying first class. Stella Mbubaegbu, principal of Highbury College, Portsmouth, spent the money when the college w a s m a k i n g re d u n d a n c i e s and its Ofsted rating was falling from ‘outstanding’ to ‘requires improvement.’

The mind boggles at yet another example of financial ineptitude and claims based on entitlement, togeth­ er with an apparent lack of account­ ability, control or authorisation ­ more of a gravy plane than a gravy train? It seems both the running and governance of some FE colleges ­ just like those unis mired in expenses scandals we already know about ­

CREDIT: More expenses scandals. are equally questionable.

And what about schools? I read about one that was taken out of local authority control and made into an academy. First thing the head did was to award himself an 18 per cent pay rise, his deputy a 5 per cent rise and the staff nothing. Subsequently, the school performed less well than under the local authority. Progress,eh?

It’s sad that many of the people I regarded as pillars of the community when I was growing up ­ school/col­ lege principals, police officers, politi­ cians (with their General Election ‘pledges’) ­ now appear to have lost the concept of selfless public service.

And yet no one seems to have

learned anything from their miscon­ duct! There’s nothing but hot air, lip service and a stubborn refusal to face up to reality followed by phras­ es like ‘we’ve all learned the lessons,’ ‘we’ve moved on,’ ‘the system’s been overhauled.’

Or, when wrong­doing’s uncov­ ered, phrases like: ‘it’s only a few’ who make ‘mistakes.’ Well, why are the majority so incompetent or not up to dealing with ‘the few’ when it routinely happens? Shouldn’t repeat­ ed wrong­doing ring alarm bells?

I know I bang on about unwarrant­ ed expenses, the NHS, the police ser­ vice and so on. My rationale is that by drawing repeated attention to these issues can there be any hope of change.

Truth stranger than fiction? You couldn’t make it up.

BARRY DUKE IT was one of those ‘gosh, how time flies’ confabs that normally bore the hell out of me. But on this occasion I was the one who sparked the discussion when a friend said how sad it was that Cameron Boyce, loveable star of the Disney Channel franchise Descendants and the TV series Jessie had tragically ‘passed away’ aged just 20 earlier this year.

As someone who dislikes eu­ phemisms with a passion, I snapped: ‘He didn’t pass away. He died!’ And, to emphasise my hatred of phrases used to disguise uncomfortable truths, I quoted the hilarious ex­ change between John Cleese and Michael Palin in Monty Python’s fa­ mous ‘Dead Parrot’ sketch.

Returning the bird to Palin’s pet shop, Cleese says: ‘It’s bleed­ in’demised. It’s passed on. This parrot is no more … It’s rolled down the cur­ tain and joined the choir invisible.

This is an ex­parrot!’

The only euphemism not used to describe the deceased bird with its ‘beautiful plumage’ was ‘it’s now

CAMERON BOYCE: Tragically died at the age of 20 earlier this year. with Jesus.’ Cleese ­ an avowed athe­ ist ­ should have included that line to wind up the godly in general and Christian anti­blasphemy campaigner Mary Whitehouse ­ arch­enemy of the corporation ­ in particular.

‘Wow,’said the fella with whom I was chatting. ‘I remember that sketch like it was yesterday. Twenty­ five years, ago, wasn’t it?’

I pointed out that in fact it was 50 years ago. Predictably, he said ‘gosh,

how time flies.’

I then rattled off a number of other euphemisms that profoundly irritate me. The worst has to be ‘enhanced interrogation,’ a term used by Dick Cheney, George W Bush’s Vice Presi­ dent from 2001 to 2009, to describe something he clearly approved of: torture.

This is a perfect example of what Quentin Crisp, English writer, actor, raconteur and gay icon called ‘un­

pleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne.’

Another is ‘collateral damage,’ a term adopted by the US military in the mid 20th century to describe un­ intentional damage or deaths that occur in battle.

The Phrase Finder website says: ‘Only the US military, with their repu­ tation of obfuscation, could translate ‘innocent people were killed’ into ‘damage was caused nearby’.’

While I greatly appreciate folk not beating about the bush, I detest those who use outrageous hyperbole to overstate various issues.

Cue the imbecile Donald Trump.

When Abu Bakr al­Baghdadi died last month, Trump sounded like a bom­ bastic playground bully when he de­ clared the terrorist was ‘whimpering and crying and screaming all the way’ to his death.

I shuddered when I heard the vile narcissist’s gleeful and ghoulish state­ ment, then wondered how he knew so much of the Daesh leader’s death so soon after it occurred.

The fact is he didn’t! At the begin­ ning of November The Independent reported that he made the whole thing up. It reported: ‘The Secretary of Defence, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff and the Regional Com­ mander who oversaw the operation that killed the leader of Daesh all say they have no idea what the President was talking about.’

Am I surprised. Hardly. When Trump’s lips move, you can be cer­ tain he’s lying. By the way, the eu­ phemism for a lie is a ‘terminological inexactitude’ ­ a term created by Winston Churchill in 1906.

Increased data - no extra cost LOBSTER, the only mobile operator in Spain to offer a service completely in English, an­ nounces from today that all its tariff plans have just got even better, with no changes in price.

Lobster has increased data permanently by up to double across all its tariff plans, so Lob­ ster customers can now surf the internet more and for longer! All tariff plans continue to in­ clude unlimited calls and texts in Spain, to the UK and other countries, and start from just €12 per month VAT included. Everyone gets the increase in data, both new customers and current customers. Lobster does not treat new customers better than current ones!

All current Lobster customers will get the data increase automatically, without having to do anything. In addition to unlimited calls and texts in Spain and to the UK, all our tariff plans also include unlimited calls and texts to Den­ mark, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, Nether­ lands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and the USA. Also, the tariff plans include ‘Roam Like At Home’ so that customers can enjoy the same services while at home in any coun­ try in the European Economic Area, at no

additional cost.

Customers can keep their existing Spanish number if they already have one or we can give them a brand new one.

The Lobster brand was created to establish an emotional bond with British values and ser­ vice. The DNA of the Company is ‘English, easy and effortless’ together with a personality that is authentic and straightforward. The Lobster offering is based on simplicity and understand­ ing customers enjoy a service and experience ‘like at home.’ This together with a service

completely in English and tariff plans tailor­ made for expatriates has provided a winning formula that has appealed to over 10,000 hap­ py Lobster customers in just nine months after launching and growing rapidly.

“Our customers asked for more data with the same great tariff plans with unlimited calls and texts at competitive prices. We are always listening to our customers and have acted, in­ creasing data for both new and current Lob­ ster customers with no changes in price. It is important to us that our customers have the

highest levels of satisfaction in the market,” said Tony Watts, Marketing Director of the company.

Lobster extends its ‘First month free’ pro­ motion for a limited time where the first month’s plan payment is free for new cus­ tomers so that they can try the service. With Lobster there are no commitments, lock­ins or hidden surprises. Lobster wants its customers to stay because they’re happy with the ser­ vice.

It is very easy to become a Lobster cus­ tomer, just provide identification, your credit or debit card payment details through a totally secure process for paying month by month, and you’re good to go. It doesn’t have to be a Spanish credit or debit card. You can cancel at any time.

Signing up for the service can be done through any one of the over 600 retail stores.

Customers can easily find the closest store to them using the store finder on our website lobster.es. If customers prefer they can also sign up online or by calling our Customer Con­ tact Centre for free on 1661 where all the agents are native English speakers.

EVERY year thousands of expats realise their dream as they buy their ‘Place in the Sun.’ Living in Spain can be liberating for them as they adapt to the more relaxing, laid back lifestyle. What very few people warn them about, however, is the winter!

Most Spanish houses are not built with win­ ter in mind, and most hardy northern Euro­ peans think ‘How bad could it be?’ To which the answer is: ‘Pretty bad!’

Over 10 years ago Richard and Tony were in the same situation. Having recently moved to Spain, they were fruitlessly looking for a decent home heating solution for their two families when, by chance, Tony discov­ ered a Norwegian convector heater that was unavailable in Spain.

Already using electric heaters, Tony was amazed at the efficiency of the Norwegian heaters, joking that it was now costing him less to keep his family warm than it had been costing to keep them cold!

A general lack of insulation means that Spanish homes can be like an ice block once the sun goes down at night, and the chatter­ ing of teeth from frozen new expats can be heard like cicadas! However, you need not despair, the solution is at hand, and you do not need to re­invent the wheel.

The real secret of these heaters is the computer­age technology in the form of ex­ truded aluminium in the construction of the heating element. This material and the de­ sign creates a huge surface area for heat transfer, which means more air can be heat­

Neater Heaters use convection principles and are designed so that the electricity you put into the heater is converted to heat as cheaply as possible. When you turn on the heater the element warms up rapidly and heats the air around it, this air rises and draws more cold air into the heater.

Because the element is extremely efficient and is designed to have a huge surface area a large quantity of air is heated very quickly. If your room has the correct sized heater it will take about 20 minutes to warm up from cold, after which the heater eases off and works at about two­ thirds capacity, (depending on various exter­ nal influences).

There is a model that will suit everyone, whether it is the standard Adax Heater, or two of their best­selling models, the BEHA, and the NEO which now come with integrat­ ed Wi­Fi, so that you can control your heaters easily via a Wi­Fi APP, but still being

This heater shares the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vigo comes with a carrying handle, wall bracket, and feet included in the price; The larger Vi­ go models take up less wall space and go up to 2.5kw. They also have a digital display that indicates the reduced wattage that the heater regulates once the room has reached desired temperature, thus saving more mon­ ey through reduced running costs.

Richard and Tony decided to make these heaters available throughout the Costa Blan­ ca, and set up NEATER HEATER to achieve this. In fact, they have become so popular that there are outlets selling Neater Heaters from the Costa Blanca all the way down to Almeria, across to the Costa del Sol, and available online if you are located in the Balearics.

When looking to choose specialists in these fields to advise us, there are sever­ al criteria that the professionals should meet: Firstly they should speak your own lan­ guage, they should be friendly, they should be professionally qualified and they should be experts in their field, par­ ticularly as to the legalities and process­ es here in Spain.

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

There is a wonderful enthusiasm about you at the moment. Seeing the reaction of others to you, it occurs that you should have taken this attitude before. Therefore, make a resolution to put more energy into everything that you do. The rewards are both social and financial.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart. Many people do that at this time of the year and so you are not alone. Trusting is sometimes difficult but it must happen sometime.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible. With many demands at the moment, restrict your exuberance on finances.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular.

Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig's ear of a work project, offer to help. It's important to let them think any bright ideas were theirs.

www.euroweeklynews.com • 14 - 20 November 2019

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week. It is possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things. Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.

Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations. Why not call a truce?

We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares?

Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are very much in the limelight, it comes as no great surprise that admiration comes your way. What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise?

Strange things happen sometimes.

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.

A solution needed HOMELESSNESS has travelled the Atlantic Ocean and has expanded across Europe. The US has always been known for unacceptably high numbers of people living on the streets. The way of life in the capitalist hub has never been easy for those who couldn’t keep up and estimates state that 129,972 people are homeless in California alone.

In Europe, vagrancy is rising and is in need of an immediate solution. Charity Shelter calculated that around 300,000 people lived on the streets in the UK. As of March 2019, 32,740 households were considered homeless and 126,020 children were living in temporary housing like B&Bs or hostels.

The situation in Spain is also worsening as house and rent prices soar. Around 31,000 people are homeless and numbers are set to increase. It’s getting more common to come across people sleeping rough at night and to find areas taken over by vagrants.

Article 47 in the Spanish Constitution states that Spanish citizens have the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing. It also adds that public authorities will promote the necessary conditions to enforce this right.

Although homelessness is less prominent in Spain, it still constitutes a significant social issue that requires change. Migrants and young people are some of the most affected, with 30 per cent of the homeless aged between 18-29.

NEVER FORGET REMEMBRANCE DAY has always been very important to me and I always pay my re­ spects to those who died in the line of duty.

Living abroad, I sometimes feel distanced from this tradition. It’s important that we never forget the brave men who fought for our country, and we need to pass this on to future generations. Even though we may not be living in the UK, we can still show our sup­ port in many ways. Thank you to the local businesses who honour the fallen and sell poppies for charity, you help us feel united as we remember our roots.

I was grateful for the piece in Euro Weekly dedicated to Remembrance Day and every­ thing that it represents. In light of everything going on, moments like these put everything into perspective. It’s good to forget Brexit for one day and remember why I’m proud to be British.

Sid Wilson

In the stars?

I THINK there must be something in the stars right now, some heavenly or unheavenly in­ fluence that decided to punish Spain and the UK at roughly the same time with a gen­ eral election.

Here in Spain it’s beginning to look like Groundhog Day with Pedro Sanchez try­ ing to form a government yet again after inconclusive results and a hung parlia­ ment although this time Vox will be breathing down his neck as well.

Perhaps the Spanish are more fortu­ nate than Brits back home, though, be­ cause those who bothered to turn out at least knew who to vote for.

It’s a relief that I’m not eligible to vote in Britain’s December elections because I wouldn’t know which of that bunch of self­serving politicians would deserve my support.

Neither the government nor the oppo­ sition have known how to run the coun­ try, let alone Brexit, and it looks as though they still won’t know after December 12.

Suzanne Mansell

Lives at risk I like to go onto the Euro Weekly News website as that way I can see other edi­ tions too, and one thing that never ceas­

UNITED: Remembering those who died in the line of duty. es to amaze me is the number of articles about people who need extricating from the hazardous situations they find themselves in.

On reflection, ‘find’ isn’t the word I’m look­ ing for, because they tend to put themselves in these situations and I think that most of them are very thoughtless indeed.

Off they go, breaking an ankle while trying to climb a mountain in flipflops or, like the party of excursionists you reported on recent­

ly, paddle boarding in 100­kilometre gales.

They risk their own lives, but they put their rescuers’ lives at risk too.

Some time ago there was talk of the Emer­ gency Services charging for rescues that were the result of negligence, but as far as I know no­one has ever had to pay.

Perhaps one of the readers could enlighten me?

A skincare secret AGEING is one of our biggest beauty concerns and it can turn into the bane of our exis­ tence. With ageing comes an­ ti­ageing products, designed to tackle wrinkles and plump the skin. But with so many products and confusing terms to deal with, it isn’t easy to manage this minefield.

However, there is one prod­ uct that has got everybody talking. From skincare experts and beauty fanatics to derma­ tologists, they are all loving retinol.

Retinoids have been on the scene for many years, but it’s just now that most people are taking notice. Retinol has prop­ erties that are said to reverse signs of ageing and also act as a preventive measure.

The ingredient derives from Vitamin A and is found in many creams and lotions. It pro­ motes collagen production and exfoliates the outermost layer

of skin. It changes the way aged cells behave, making them act like younger cells.

This results in softening, im­ proving the texture of the skin and minimising the look of fine lines.

Retinol is also good for acne scars and sun damage and can brighten the skin, giving the look of a youthful complexion.

Age spots can also be light­ ened with this acidic product as skin tone is evened out.

That said, retinol may not be suitable for all skin types. If you suffer any conditions such as eczema or rosacea, a high strength product like this could cause further inflammation. To combat this, adding very small amounts to your moisturiser can introduce skin slowly to the ingredient, always making sure to use SPF afterwards.

It is also encouraged that people without underlying skin conditions use small amounts

when starting to use retinol.

Beginning by applying twice a week and then gradually in­ creasing the quantity if skin re­ acts well.

Applying retinol is recom­ mended no more than three times a week. As a general rule, any retinoid creams or serums are to be used at night as they increase sensitivity to sunlight. Wearing SPF daily is essential when the ingredient is part of your skincare routine.

And taking into account that it is a strong product; users should not use more than a pea­sized amount.

Younger people can also use retinol but they may not see as many benefits as someone with older skin. Never forget­ ting however, that prevention is always better than cure and this product will keep skin glowy.

If you are looking for a retinoid product many well­

known cosmetic companies have them on sale. Roc, Neu­ trogena, La Roche­Posay, Olay

and Elizabeth Arden all have different types of retinol prod­ ucts. Any chemist or make­up

store will probably stock this type of product in many vary­ ing forms.

THE World Health Summit in Berlin has requested govern­ ments make difficult deci­ sions surrounding health and climate change. Three im­ portant health issues require political decisions to tackle the consequences of global warming, universal coverage and inequality of access to technology.

More than 2,400 assistants

Discussing the big issues debated these main issues of interest in the 10th anniver­ sary of the Summit. The Ger­ man capital has become a reference point for discussing

health and medicine. It’s a rare occurrence to see so many investigators rubbing shoulders with politicians, academics, pharmaceutical

companies and NGOs. President of the interna­ tional Summit explained that public health is an ample sub­ ject as it is open and multi­ cultural. The World Health Summit looks to find solu­ tions for worldwide health is­ sues.

For people to be able to access technology needed for medical procedures, doctors and campaigners are aware political decisions are neces­ sary.

The director for the World Health Organisation high­ lighted that there has never been a better time to work together and transform the health system and care of millions of people.

International group ­ M8 Alliance ­ receives collabora­ tion from 28 investigation centres and universities from 19 countries. They called up­ on governments to consider health issues a priority in their political agendas. The group considers that with population in constant move­ ment and an ever­increasing interconnected world, it isn’t viable for each country to take individual approaches.

M8 Alliance assured the Summit that science and health don’t have geographi­ cal borders.

Climate change and its consequences for health was heavily discussed, as well as the fact that half the world population doesn’t have ac­ cess to health care. Each year 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty by medical costs and limited resources.

The art of helping people DOCTORS Sharon and Johan are passionate about their job and look to help people on the Costa Blanca.

Sharon Nilsson and her husband Johan are the driving force behind their thriving business Nilsson Chi­ ropractic Centre.

Sharon has lived in Spain since 1976, when her parents moved to Orba in Ali­ cante, hoping the warm climate would help her mother’s de­ bilitating arthritic pain. The good POWER COUPLE: Sharon weather worked and husband Johan run the wonders and the ex­ Centre together. perience inspired Sharon and her fu­ ture endeavours.

She is now the female face of the Chiropractic business Johan Nilsson started 30 years ago. The couple live in a small village 20 minutes from Alfaz del Pi, inland from Vil­ lajoyosa, and they love their life abroad: “Where we live allows us to enjoy the beautiful nature and tranquillity or choose a Friday night out to see an original language film at the cinema, or have a Michelin star experience up the coast.”

Sharon and Johan have successfully run their business in the same town for 30 years. The reason for their ac­ complishment? Sharon believes the fact that she is in­ volved in Spanish culture has helped: “I speak fluent Spanish and have multiple Spanish friends, some from childhood and others that I have met over the years, therefore I am able to connect with the culture in a way that others may not. Having said that, in my core I still feel very British and can resonate with the northern Euro­ peans, and give them a northern European service.

“I love to help people and am genuinely interested in wanting them to get better. My husband Johan is my biggest supporter and our success is fruit of our mutual encouragement and passion for our profession.”

At age 38 Sharon decided she wanted to go back to University in the UK. She is very proud of her decision and, following husband Johan’s steps, now has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chiropractic. She went on to study a Master of Science in Chiropractic Paediatrics as she is very passionate about women’s health and children and continually works towards helping them on the Costa Blanca.

When asked for their business secrets, the couple ad­ vised budding entrepreneurs should learn Spanish and have their ideas very clearly defined: “Visualise what you want, write down your questions for the town hall and other authorities before you go in, so you have a good chance of coming out with what you want!.”

Sharon and Johan are content and believe Spain will be as good as ever. “There is a new hub of expat energy in the area, which excites us, as they are families with young children. They bring new ideas and energy to the Costa Blanca. The mood is changing and people are enjoying life again.”

Rosalia mixes traditional flamenco with modern styles such as pop, hip hop and electronic and can be categorised as new flamenco.

She triumphed at the Los40s ceremony by taking away the much­coveted Artist of the Year award.

MADRID was host to Los40 Music Awards recently and welcomed musical stars from all around the world to their WiZink Centre. The Jonas Brothers, Rosalia, Mabel and Sam Smith wowed the fans with spec­ tacular performances and all took away an award.

Sam Smith received one of the most important awards of the night, a Golden Music award, previ­ ously won by superstars like Calvin Harris and Mary J Blige.

MODERN FLAMENCO: Barcelona born singer.

Sam Smith has become a huge name for soul music in­ ternationally, with hits that cross borders and reach audi­ ences of all ages. They have come a long way since win­ ning their first Brit Award in 2014 when they had still yet to release a debut album.

The Los40 also rewarded them in 2015 with an album of the year award for Once In The Lonely Hour which spent 69 consecutive weeks in the UK top 10, surpassing The Beatles.

MIKI ESPARBÉ, one of the lead characters in the new Netflix series Drug Squad: Costa del S ol has signed up as the protagonist in forthcoming Movistar release Los Espabilados. The busy Catalan actor confirmed on Twitter that he will take part in the seven episodes which are inspired by the novel ‘What I will tell you when I see you again’ by Albert Espinosa.

Recording has already started in Barcelona and Menorca and continues in France and Italy.

T he story tells of a group of youngsters who escape from a psychiatric centre looking for their place in the world and embark on a trip through Europe to find one of their brothers. The kids all suffer from mental illnesses and have to overcome many obstacles in their adventure.

The series brings both positivity and humour while facing taboos regarding the rejection caused by mental illness.

NEW WORK: Recorded in Barcelona and Menorca.

Charity gala

HEADLINERS: Sara and Kike.

EUNOIA is a newly formed as­ sociation dedicated to fighting childhood cancer and will be holding a charity gala at the Casa de Cultura in Alfas del Pi from 7pm on Friday November 15.

Headlining the event will be musical duo Sara and Kike who won over the hearts of viewers of TV show Got Talent when they played their self­com­ posed song to three­year­old daughter Lucia who is herself

battling cancer.

Tickets cost €5 and €10 from the Casa del Cultura and all pro­ ceeds will be donated to AS­ PANION, the Association of Par­ ents of Children with Cancer.

The name EUNOIA means positive thinking and this is what the organisation which is supported by the local council with councillor Martine Mertens hopes to achieve as it grows and increases its support for those in need.

Festive flavour BOWLER’S PRIVATE DINING WITH Christmas only a few weeks away and the Christ­ mas tree and decorations on­ ly round the corner, I thought it was time to get into the festive mood.

So why not try these fun filled Christmas recipes at home, a classic with a Span­ ish twist ­ ‘Brussels with Ser­ rano ham, Manchego cheese and Pedro Ximenez.’

Think you don’t like Brus­ sels sprouts? These recipes will change your mind! For my second recipe and a favourite at this time of year ­ ‘five spice mulled wine.’

Mulled wine, also known

Follow Dani Bowler: instagram: Dani.bowler • Web: www.danibowler.com as spiced wine, is a beverage usually made with red wine along with various mulling spices and sometimes raisins.

It is served hot or warm and

is alcoholic, although there are non­alcoholic versions of mulled wine. It is a great win­ ter warmer on these Decem­ ber evenings next to the fire!

‘Brussels with Serrano ham, Manchego cheese and Pedro Ximenez’ Ingredients 400g Brussels spsouts (cleaned and cut into quarters) Salt and pepper, to taste Olive oil, to taste 6 slices of Serrano ham (chopped) Manchego cheese Pedro Ximenez reduction, to taste Method Toss the quartered Brussels sprouts in salt, pepper and olive oil. Arrange the sea­ soned sprouts onto a baking tray and roast in an oven at 180° for seven to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

While the sprouts are roasting, render the Serrano ham in a sauté pan over low­ medium heat. When the ham begins to re­ lease some of its fat into the pan, add 1 to 2 tablespoons light olive oil, and increase the heat to medium­high. Continue to cook the ham, much like you would bacon.

When the ham is crispy, remove and drain.

When the sprouts are ready, immediate­ ly put them into a serving dish. Loosely crumble the crispy ham and mix into the sprouts. Add enough of the sweet sherry to coat the ham and sprouts. Shave the Manchego cheese over the sprouts to gar­ nish and taste.

For the Pedro Ximenez reduction: 1/2 cup on medium heat and reduce by 75 per cent. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. It will have a syrupy consistency.

‘Five spice mulled wine’ Ingredients

A classic with a Spanish twist.

1/2 cup sugar Bottle of red wine Half an orange skin 1 cup ruby Port 6 cinnamon sticks 2 whole star anis 6 whole cloves 1 teaspoon fennel seeds 1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, cracked 1 cup (16 tablespoons) Brandy Bring 1/2 cup of water and sugar to boil in small saucepan, stirring until sugar dis­ solves. Remove syrup from heat and re­ serve. Combine red wine, port, star anis, cinnamon, cloves, orange skin, fennel seeds and pepper in a saucepan. Bring mix­ ture almost to simmer. Reduce heat to medium low, cook just below simmer for 10 minutes. Strain into a four­cup measur­ ing cup and discard spices. Pour two table­ spoons of Cognac and one tablespoon syrup into each of eight punch glasses. Add 1/4 cup hot mulled wine to each glass.

With making the sugar syrup separately you can custom how sweet you would like your mulled wine to serve guests!

The all­new e­208 is the first 100 per cent electric model in a new range of electrified vehi­ cles as part of the brand’s elec­ trification strategy. Using a 50kWh battery it is capable of 217 miles from a single charge.

Inside, the car comes with new 3D i­Cockpit® with a compact multifunction steering wheel, a configurable 3D head­up dis­

play and either a seven­inch or 10­inch HD colour touchscreen.

Prices start at £25,050 and order books are now open for customers to be among the first to own the all­new e­208.

Reservations can also be made on PEUGEOT’s new range of Plug­In HYBRID electric vehi­ cles, the 3008 SUV HY­ BRID, 3008 SUV GT HYBRID4, new 508 HYBRID and 508 SW

HYBRID, all set to be available to drive in early 2020.

The new PEUGEOT e­ 208 will be on show in the O2.

Because the energy transition is a real opportunity, the new

vehicle will be, from the mo­ ment it is launched, in electric, petrol or diesel versions. Per­ fectly in line with the PEUGEOT brand’s move upmarket, this new generation of 208 stands out thanks to its sharp design, injecting both youth and ener­ gy.

Range Rover beauty over brawn RANGE ROVER looks to put luxury and design ahead of off-road ability with their new Crossover in 2021.

The vehicle will be offered with a choice of all­electric, plug­in and hybrid options and will be based on the MLA foundations of the forth­ coming full­sized fifth­generation model.

Land Rover are keeping details of the Crossover tightly under wraps, but it is believed that the new model is to be assembled at the Castle Bromwich facility.

Released images show it to be the lowest and sleekest SUV produced by the firm. With a steep sloping windscreen, a swept­back roofline and slender LED headlamps.

The release will mark a turning point for Land Rover who started with a boxy four­wheel drive, off­road model in 1948 and went on to produce military vehicles for the British and Australian Army.

Now sees a continued move into a market that includes design, road comfort and luxury as its focal points.

Land Rover’s Design Director, Gerry McGov­ ern, is quoted as saying ”What we’ve actually shown is the ability of the brand to stretch and be different. We always have been quite pio­ neering. Let me just put it this way ­ if people like Bentley and Rolls­Royce can do an SUV,

why can’t Land Rover or Range Rover do a luxu­ ry car?” Little is known of the planned mechan­ ical structure for the Crossover, but the upcom­ ing MLA platform can house an electric motor on each axle, supplying four­wheel drive.

With smaller dimensions it will also feature a smaller battery than the 100kWh unit planned for the full­size all­electric Range Rover, allow­ ing the lower kerb weight to provide a similar range of about 300 miles.

Land Rover will seek to maximise that range by optimising the new model’s aerodynamic ef­ ficiency, hence the decision to pursue a lower, crossover­style machine. The electric Crossover will be one of the key models in a continued ex­ pansion and reinvention of Jaguar Land Rover’s line­up.

Jaguar Land Rover’s struggles in China have been a factor in the company’s financial woes, improving its performance in the country is a key part of the turnaround strategy. With the Chinese government favouring fully electric cars, the Crossover will be vital to the firm’s re­ newed push in the country.

In a presentation to investors this year, com­ pany bosses said they planned 14 new or re­ freshed nameplates next year including electri­ fied versions of existing models ­ with 16 more following from 2021 onwards.

LEICESTER CITY under the management of Brendan Rodgers are again quite the force they were when they won the Premiership title a few years back.

Last weekend the King Power Stadium welcomed visitors Arse­ nal, whose manager is under huge pressure to start getting re­ sults.

Form the start of the match Leicester City never looked in any trouble at all, fully in control of the game at all times and it was a surprise that it was still 0­0 at half time.

Sixty­eight minutes saw a lovely goal. Pereira made ground down the right and found Barnes, just inside the box.

Barnes flicked the ball to Tiele­ mans, who rolled a first­time pass across the face of goal, tee­ ing up Vardy. He slammed into the bottom left, giving the Arse­ nal keeper no chance.

With 15 minutes to play Leicester City struck again when Vardy chased Praet’s right­to­left pass into the Arsenal box. He pulled the ball back for Maddi­ son, who shifted his feet with a super­fast shuffle and immedi­ ately fired a low heat seeker into the bottom left corner of the

net, Leno the Arsenal goalkeeper had no chance whatsoever. It re­ ally was sensational improvisa­ tion. Last minutes of the game though were concerns for Leices­ ter as Vardy looked to have hurt his shoulder, upon falling. He winced in pain, a blotch on Leicester’s otherwise perfect day. But he insisted on playing on. With an international break coming up, he will have time to recover and continue on Leices­ ter’s dynamic front line.

It was an easy 2­0 victory for the Foxes and make no mistake, Leicester are in the title race.

They’re very easy on the eye to watch too as a neutral watcher ­ playing great football under Brendan Rodgers as the title holders from 2015/16 season move into second position of the table.

After the game Arsenal man­ ager Unai begged for more time, he said “Our priority was being consis­ tent ... we created some chances ... I thought in the first half we played well, and had opportuni­ ties to score and win the match ... the players worked and had very good attitude ... if we scored

the first goal we could control, but we didn’t do, and they did ... our priority is to win the next match at home ... we are behind Leicester and Chelsea, but we must take confidence ... in 38 matches, little by little, we will get better ... we need time, we changed a lot of players ... we

are ambitious, but we need time.”

Although Arsenal aren’t a club for sacking managers quickly, the board may be thinking they got the wrong replacement for Wenger with rumours circulating amongst supporters that one ‘Jose’ is being lined up.

SPORT THE two top premiership teams clashed at Anfield on Sunday Liverpool v Manchester City with five points between them at the top of the table.

It wasn’t long at all until the first goal when on six minutes City thought they should have had a penalty for handball, after the ball flicked off Alexander­ Arnold’s thigh and into his arm. The referee waved play on and Liverpool a raid down the left. Mane’s low cross was poked clear, but Fabinho ran onto it, took a touch and blasted it inside the post from 25 yards ensuring Liver­ pool a footing with a 1­0 ear­ ly lead.

Just eight minutes later though they stole a second goal when Robertson’s cross bounced to Salah, who head­ ed it in.

Ten minutes into the sec­ ond half and Liverpool scored a third. It was a gor­ geous Henderson cross, and

LIVERPOOL CRUSH MAN CITY

Mane stooped to head in at the back post ­ Bravo got two hands to it, but could only fumble it in.

City pulled a goal back on the 80th minute when An­ gelino’s low cross deflected to Bernardo Silva, whose low shot clipped the inside of the post on its way in.

The last 10 minutes Liver­ pool completely lost their swagger, but they still had their lead as City threw everything at the bus, but Liverpool saw it out and went eight points clear at the top of the premiership and looking likely champions this year even at this early stage. City themselves with the loss dropped to fourth.

It was a cracking match, full­blooded, high­paced en­ tertainment from first to last, packed with quality, an absolute neutral­thriller.

HIGH PACED: Liverpool v Manchester City.

Clash of the clarets ASHLEY BARNES and Chris Wood both celebrated signing new contracts with goals that propelled Burn­ ley to another big win over West Ham United.

Last season’s Turf Moor victory over the Londoners at the turn of the year had been the launchpad for Burnley’s sprint to safety.

And while the need was­ n’t quite so great this time around, the combination of Barnes and Wood and an own­goal from goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez brought a welcome end to a three­ match losing run.

The Burnley strike part­ nership ­ re­united follow­ ing Wood’s return from a two­match absence ­ took their combined tally for the season to 10 league goals to cap a week in which they had both ex­

tended their stay at Turf Moor.

And in truth they could have added plenty more, notably Wood who had un­ derlined his liking for this fixture with his sixth goal in five games against the Hammers, with the second goal just before half time that all but sealed the deal as he again ran the Lon­ doners ragged.

Jimenez was at fault for all three of the Burnley goals, although it was only his acrobatics late in the piece that prevented a landslide as Sean Dyche’s side produced exactly the response they needed to record an emphatic fourth home win of the season and reclaim a place back in the top half of the table.

In a bid to stop the los­ ing run, Dyche made three

And Burnley wasted no time in looking to make amends for their first­half collapse at Sheffield Unit­ ed a week ago with an up­ tempo opening that had the Hammers immediately on the ropes.

West Ham were ab­ solutely shocking, Burnley came at them and totally ran the show from start to finish, West Ham’s million­ aire so­called stars looked lazy, not interested, had no direction from the bench

and to be honest looked like a side heading to rele­ gation.

It’s evident to the major­ ity of West Ham support­ ers that the Chilean man­ ager Pelligrini has to be sacked ­ but club owner David Sullivan will have a problem there as he gave the ex­Manchester City manager a long four­year contract on £7 million a year and no doubt will want paying off.

West Ham supporters are in numbers now calling for the head of their man­ ager and the bookies have him odds on to be the next sacked manager in the pre­ miership.
