CATASTROPHIC LOSSES THE bill to insurance companies of the September ‘Gota Fria’ storm and floods is estimated at €455 million in Alicante and Murcia alone.

This is the figure the Consortium of Insurance Compensation (CCS) has put on the disaster, with 65,000 claims having been made for damage caused by the extreme weather.

It makes it the second most expensive weather-related event for the insurance sector in Spain’s recent history, after the 1983 floods in the Basque Country.

Worldwide, insured losses from catastrophes between 2017 and 2018 were $219 billion. “It was the worst two-year period in history for the insurance sector,” said Santiago Aréchaga, CEO of Swiss Re in Spain and Portugal.

The High Commissioner for the Spanish Government’s Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, Cristina Gallach, pointed out that Spanish companies “should take advantage” of the Climate Summit

“The support of civil society, led by universities, nongovernmental organisations and social organisations, among others, will allow us to enter the decade of sustainability and inclusion on January 1,” said Gallach, highlighting the importance of research and science, as well as the “generalised consensus in management, for the fulfilment of the sustainable development objectives set by the European Union.”

AS expected, the PSOE socialists were Alicante Province’s mostvoted party but this was the least surprising aspect of last Sunday’s elections.

The socialists won four seats as they did in the April elections, but despite taking more votes than any other party in 11 municipalities including Alicante City, Benidorm, Villajoyosa, Altea, Alfaz and San Vicente, they lost 22,000 votes.

The Partido Popular retained its three seats and was most-voted in its traditional heartlands of La Nucia, Finestrat, Orihuela and Santa Pola, while gaining 27,000 more votes province-wide than in the April election.

Polls suggesting that ultrarightwing Vox would rise in the polls proved correct and its share of the vote increased by 50,000, giving the party three seats for Alicante Province in the national parliament, compared with one last April.

In northern Alicante Vox was the most-voted party only in Guadalest, but the picture changed in the southern Costa Blanca, where it took 12 towns, many of them in the Vega Baja.

Unidas Podemos also dropped from two to one seats, but the night’s biggest loser, both nationally and provincially was Ciudadanos, with its share of the Alicante poll dropping from 177,691 Alicante votes in April to 68,267.

Jail call for noisy bar PROSECUTORS are asking a court to jail the owner and manager of a café-theatre for six years each for being too noisy.

They also want the Murcia premises to be closed down for five years and the company owning it, G.13 to pay a fine of €21,900. An additional fine of €18,000 for each of the defendants is also requested plus €15,000 compensation for two neighbours who needed medical care due to the noise.

The defendants are Juan Antonio B S, owner of the company, and its manager Hector D S H. The public prosecutor states that from September 2014 to April 2016 the excess noise from the establishment caused discomfort to neighbours. The sound system has since been shut down by the city hall.

GENERAL ELECTION: Alicante Province cast its votes last Sunday.

No answer to Alicante City whodunnit MIGUEL LOPEZ, accused of murder, walked out of the Alicante High Court a free man.

After three days of deliberation, six of the jury of nine decided that he did not shoot his mother-in-law Maria del Carmen Martinez twice in the head in what police sources described as an execution.

The wealthy 72-year-old was the widow of Vicente Sala Bello, ex-president of the CAM bank, and headed the family’s business interests, based principally on plastics factories in Latin America.

On the day she died in December 2016, Maria del Carmen had gone to pick up her car from another of the family’s businesses, the Novocar

showroom in Alicante City. This was managed by Lopez who by then had incurred losses estimated at €4 million.

At the time of her death, Maria del Carmen was planning to hand over control of all the family concerns to her son, Vicente Sala Martinez.

Police investigators suspected that her son-in-law was either behind the shooting or had ordered it and he was remanded the following February, but released on €150,000 bail six weeks later.

In her instructions to the jury, Judge Francisco Bru admitted that many crimes went unsolved and told them that it was preferable to have a guilty person on the street than an innocent person in prison.

TIME OUT 62-63 HEALTH & 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.

More police Attacker slashed ORIHUELA is giving priority to recruiting more Local Police in its latest staff recruitment drive.

The councillor for Human Resources, Luisa Boné, reported that the process for recruiting 12 more officers has started.

José María Pomares, Chief of the Local Police said the force has been declining since 2013 and has a current strength of 126 officers. With the new recruitment drive, plus other personnel already in the pipeline, there will be 25 new officers bringing staffing to 151 officers, one more than in 2013.

Orihuela City Council has a total staff of 731 municipal employees, of which 269 are workers, 207 career civil servants and 255 interim civil servants.

This makes the percentage of interim officials around 55.19 per cent. It is the intention of the council, according to Boné, to reduce this by approximately 10 per cent during the term of the current government.

A MAN who was allegedly raping a young woman ended up needing medical attention when the victim slashed him with a knife. A 23-year-old woman called police at 9.30am on Sunday to an address in the Murcian town of Cobatillas.

The woman said she had been raped. On arrival police found a 37-year-old man bleeding heavily from a hand wound, apparently caused when the woman defended herself with a knife.

The man was treated at the scene for the non-lifethreatening injury, requiring stiches, before he was arrested by Guardia Civil.

Police say the woman was taken to Virgen de la Arrixaca hospital in Murcia, where an examination indicated she had been sexually assaulted.

The alleged attacker claims sex was consensual and she made up the claim as she has a boyfriend.

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

PSOE WINS: Pedro Sánchez has won the elections. party sink from 57 to a measly 10 seats.

Their leader, Albert 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 Congress. Now, Vox has achieved 962,000 more votes than in April and can be considered the third po-

litical 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 summer. 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 the areas where Vox received 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.

BREXIT BRIEF

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.

ALICANTE’S Tourism Board met with Jet2holidays in a bid to alleviate the effects of Brexit on tourism.

Deputy Mayor Mari Carmen Sanchez attended the World Travel Market in London last week, where she took part in various meetings with tour operators and agencies. The aim was to reinforce the arrival of visitors to Alicante and reduce any possible negative impact of Brexit.

The deputy mayor stressed that the Tourist Board is working so that the UK market continues to choose Alicante as their ‘star destination.’

Another strategy taken by the Board was a meeting with Jet2holidays. The company has

added plane tickets to Alicante after seeing a growing demand from British customers, a result of Thomas Cook’s recent bankruptcy and bust.

Alicante is also working on consolidating its image as a city break and year-round holiday destination. As well as giving visibility to all the touristic products and offers available, with the objective of seasonally adapting the destination.

The Alicante-Elche international airport has direct connections to 23 airports in the UK and tickets from UK to Alicante have risen 5 per cent from 2018 to 2019. British tourists are also the main international clients in hotels, with numbers going up in recent years.

Archaeological treasures seized THREE people have been arrested for attempting to sell ‘irregular’ archaeological pieces on the internet.

They also are alleged to have mixed in fake items with the genuine pieces in lots put up for auction.

Alicante Guardia Civil have charged them with a crime against historical heritage and a crime of fraud.

The investigation began

at the end of July 2018, when the Nature Protection team (EPRON A) of the Guardia Civil found out about the internet auction.

Officers located the auction, valid for two days, and being organised by a Costa Blanca antiques shop.

In total, 219 objects made from clay, ceramics, glass, bone, silver, iron, bronze and copper were be-

ing auctioned, mostly ornamental pieces, coins and jewellery.

Police visited the shop and on the basis of an initial evaluation and on-site study by the expert, the 219 pieces were seized.

A study concluded that many pieces were authentic and were probably plundered, while others were fake.

The company responsible for keeping the port waters clean reported that over the last year its clean-ups of the surface of the water netted 10 tonnes of trash from the inner harbour, of which 70 per cent was plastic containers and bottles.

The port authority said the problem was

plastic items not disposed of in rubbish bins which are carried by the wind or which are thrown directly into the sea.

The authority also reported the cleaning company found most rubbish floating on the water the mornings after public holidays and Friday and Saturday nights.

Space age solution A SCIENTIST from the Costa Blanca has been to the US to present an innovative way of dealing with ‘space junk.’

Developed by University Miguel Hernandez (UMH) spin-off company Emxys, it is one of the solutions proposed to cover one of the points introduced in the European Space Agency’s policy for the coming years: the elimination of space debris and to de-orbit satellites.

Recently, the company’s executive director and UMH professor José Antonio Carrasco travelled to Washington from the Elche university to participate in the 70th edition of the International Astronautics Congress and present the company’s innovative development.

The technology developed by Emxys consists of a system that is included inside the satellite and that allows free electrons, existing in the upper layers of the atmosphere, to be trapped and thrown out.

This leads to the satellite’s descent into the ionosphere, a layer which, thanks to its density, is capable of destroying the satellite.

As Carrasco explained: “Through a conductive cable that hangs from the satellite at the end of its useful life, the free electrons ascend propelled by the terrestrial magnetic field to our system, which expels them to the outside.

“It’s a relatively simple mechanism that allows the satellite to self-destruct when it comes into contact with the outer layer of the atmosphere.”

Emxys is a company specialising in the design, development and production of embedded electronic systems for aerospace applications.

The company is promoted by the professors of the Department of Materials Science, Optics and Electronic Technology of the UMH José Antonio Carrasco and Francisco García de Quirós.

The mayor said: “We are convinced that this refuge has an extraordinary historical, patrimonial and archaeological

ROW: Grants controversy at Murcia City Hall.

Row over grant to guidance centre A POLITICAL row over a grant to a group that ‘corrects sexual deviance’ has started.

The socialist PSOE group in Murcia has slammed an €8,500 a w a rd of public mone y to the a s s oc ia tion Mater Familiae, which calls itself a ‘Family Guidance Centre.’

In a statement the PSOE s a id tha t the a s s oc ia tion clearly states that one of its aims is to take action in situations where there is a deviation of sexual behaviour.

“We are as surprised as we are indignant that this association receives €8,500 from the municipal coffers when it is dedicated to indoctrination,” said Councillor Esther Nevado.

She added: “We are abs olute ly a na c hronis tic .

The s e a lle ge d the ra pie s have been dismissed by the international scientific community and are only defended by groups affiliated with the extreme right. There are even autonomous communities and countries that have expressly prohibited these ‘therapies’ for considering that they undermine the integrity of people.

“We believe that the PP (Murcia’s governing party)

is fully aware that, although the purpose for which the grant is awarded is to help families in social difficulty, t hi s gr ant i s i nt ended f or premarital courses or these types of sexual reconversion therapies,” said Nevado.

According to the project presented by the association itself, it is dedicated to premarital training, fertility r ecogni t i on and f am i l y gui dance. “We want t o know m or e, we want t o know how many users make use of this association and, above al l , i f am ong t hem there are minors. A total of €8,500 of publ i c m oney could alleviate many deficiencies in terms of child poverty in this municipality and yet is given to a group that seeks to guide us spiritually,” criticised Nevado.

The councillor of Social Ri ght s and Fam i l y, Pi l ar Torres, explained that Mater Familiae is “a religious entity, created by the Diocese of Car t agena i n Apr i l 2007,” and added t hat i n 2018 the Consistory gave grants to 127 social entities of all kinds and ideology for a total amount of €1.6 million.

Torres criticised that “the PSOE politicises a subsidy

granted and paid in 2018, four days before the general elections” and considered that the socialist party “is nervous about the electoral polls.”

She added: “The PSOE is more concerned about subsi di es t o associ at i ons i n Murcia than the indoctrinat i on of chi l dr en i n Cataluña.”

As f or t he appl i cat i on document submitted by the entity to get the grant, Torres said that it “reflected and detailed the activities developed by the association that are imputed to the project funded by the city council.

“This report does not include any intervention or attention referring to deviant sexual behaviour, but to situations of crisis, intergenerat i onal conf l i ct s and any type of problem generated by behavioural imbalances derived from the processes of depr essi on, anxi et y or addictions.”

VACCINATION: At risk groups should get a flu jab.

Time to get a flu jab in Torrevieja THIS year’s flu vaccination campaign has started in Torrevieja, with the Department of Health aiming to vaccinate more than 30,000 people.

The re a re va c c ina tion points in all public health centre from Rojales to Pilar de la Horadada.

Vicente García Román, head of Preventive Medicine at the Hospital de Torrevieja, explains that “it is very important that vaccination is c a rrie d out e ve ry ye a r. Firs tly be c a us e the protection decreases with the pa s s a ge of time , a nd secondly, because the flu virus changes from year to ye a r. For this re a s on the composition of the vaccine

is re vie w e d a nd upda te d every year.”

Dr Román adds that “flu vaccines are very safe - they are inactivated vaccines that cannot cause the disease. It is important to emphasise this fact and put an end to false and old beliefs.

“Like any vaccine, protection after vaccination administration is not immedia te , the a ntibodie s ta ke about two weeks to develop, and for this reason the vaccine campaign begins at the end of October (before the first cases of influenza appear).”

Nurse consultations for va c c ina tions of a ll the Health Centres and Peripheral Offices of the Department are available during

the campaign that will cont i nue unt i l Januar y 31, 2020.

The impact of influenza, in terms of infections and mortality is high and therefore annual vaccination is a measure especially recommended for people at highrisk of developing complications.

The risk groups to be vaccinated in the 2019-2020 flu season are as follows: • Elderly people, from 65 years of age.

• Peopl e under 65 who are at high risk of complications from the flu.

• Adults with chronic cardiovascular, neurological or respiratory diseases.

• Adul t s wi t h di abet es mellitus, morbid obesity,

chr oni c ki dney di sease, nephrotic syndrome, chroni c l i ver di sease or sever e neuromuscular disease and immunosuppression.

Reps in London to promote Torrevieja REPRESENTATIVES from Torrevieja were at the World Travel Market in London, last week, one of the most important

tourism fairs.

Councillor of Tourism Rosario Martinez Chazarra, headed the team that present-

ed the city to some of the world’s most important travel professionals. He said: “Torrevieja must continue to attend these professional meetings to promote our tourism offer and hold meetings with business associations and travel agents and, ultimately, continue working to promote our offer optimising our resources.”

This year, as in previous editions, Torrevieja was part of the Costa Blanca delegation and involved in the Valencia region ‘brand’ L’Exiquisit Mediterrani, which was promoting local cuisine and food with tastings.

As well as strengthening its image in the UK as a sort of Brexit insurance, the delegation was also keen to attract more tourists from the Nordic countries, with improved air connections to these nations being seen as a big opportunity for the Costa Blanca tourism sector.

Homes for ‘Gota Fria’ victims BAD BANK Sareb has signed an agreement to temporarily transfer 15 homes to Almoradi Council.

The town hall will use the houses to accommodate families who have had to leave their homes after the heavy rains that left much of the Vega Baja flooded in September.

The agreement, signed by Mayor María Gómez García and Sareb’s Director of Corporate Social Responsibility, Gaspar González-Palenzuela, agrees to assign the properties in temporarily for six months, extendable up to a maximum of four years, if agreed by both parties.

SUCCESS: Glass recycling campaign gets bigger every year.

ORIHUELA collected 898,649 kilos of glass for recycling in the summer months.

This represented a 7 per cent increase over the same period of 2018.

Councillor of Street Cleaning Damaso Aparicio, revealed that the ‘Ecovidrio’ campaign involved 145 hotels in the city. Half of all glass containers used in the hospitality sector are single use, and 30 per cent of all glass collected for recycling comes in the summer months.

In recent years, the Department of Street Cleaning and USW has promoted recycling both at home and in the hospitality industry, with ever improving results. The councillor is

now urging Ecovidrio to “increase its collection routes and numbers of bottle banks so that neighbours can continue recycling glass and exceed the current figure.”

According to the latest data for 2018, the citizens of Orihuela recycled a total of 2,502,360 kilos of glass, which means that each inhabitant recycles an average of 32.6 kilos a year.

Currently Orihuela has 694 bottle banks, working out at one per 111 inhabitants.

With respect to the rate of containerisation, Orihuela is located with an average of 111 inhabitants per container, currently with a total of 694 igloos for waste glass containers installed.

Counting the cost ORIHUELA Council spent €3.3 million in the first five days of the ‘Gota Fria’ emergency.

This was the amount

spent between September 11 and 15 with most of the cash going on the rental of machinery and vehicles to remove reeds, bring food

and clothing to those affected, its use by the Local Police and the removal of damaged household goods and rubbish.

The priority was to rescue the people who had been trapped in their homes, for which lorries and machinery were needed, and to work quickly to clear the river of canes and reinforce banks to prevent overflowing, which eventually occurred at several points.

Councillor for Finance Rafael Almargo said: “They were times when we had to act and could not wait for paper work, so it was an emergency situation.”

The council has now approved a supplementar y budget that dedicates almost €4.5 million to the emergency and its after effects.

This includes €1.2 million on top of the €3.3 million already spent.

SHUT DOWN: Industrial unit was a drugs plantation.

YET another indoor drugs plantation has been closed down by police.

This time operation Saksi, jointly run by the Alicante Narcotics Brigade and members of the Crime and Organised Crime Unit (UDYCO), together with the Special Response Group Against Organised Crime (GRECO), has arrested six Albanians, The detainees, aged from 25 to 45 are accused of belonging to a criminal group, crimes against public health (cultivation of narcotic substance) and defrauding elec-

tricity. An electrician has also been arrested for allegedly connecting the electricity supply illegally.

Acting on information gathered, the investigators suspected that a large warehouse located between the town of Catral and the district of Mudamiento Orihuela, could be being used as an indoor marihuana plantation.

However, they did not know which one. As there are many warehouses in the area, they had considerable difficulty in finding the correct one, especially as it was tucked away in such a way

on an industrial estate that it was easy to pass by without seeing it.

On top of that, the arrested men took extreme security measures to avoid detection and kept a 24-hour watch to try to spot signs of surveillance.

But police finally managed to track down the suspected plantation, and with the support of troops of the Citizen Security Unit (USECIC) of Torrevieja, raided the warehouse, as well as the home of the suspected ringleader who lives in Catral.

In the interior of the 3,000 sqm unit police found seven rooms, completely equipped with all the necessary electrical equipment to grow marihuana, as well as living quarters for the gang.

Officers found 2,719 planters ready for cultivation and it has been calculated that the production of marihuana would be of hundreds of kilos by harvest.

Police seized a total of 74 kilos of marihuana, a bag with 206 grams of marihuana buds, 808 heaters, 31 air conditioning units and 19 air filters. The arrested have been handed in to the custody of a Torrevieja court.

This is the latest in a string of indoor plantations shut down by police in Alicante in recent months, although it counts as one of the biggest.

Girls’ 3-day office ordeal A MAN has been arrested for locking his two daughters up in an office for three days.

The mother of the two girls - whose ages have not been released - called police to tell them her daughters had been locked away with no means of communication.

She told a patrol which arrived soon after that a friend had seen the girls asking for

help through a window.

At that moment, police saw the two minors looking out, shouting and asking for help to get out.

After repeatedly trying unsuccessfully to locate the father, the officers entered the office building and broke down the door to release the girls.

They found them unharmed, but in uninhabitable

living conditions. Lights had fused, there was no bathroom, beds, kitchen or even minimum hygiene.

The girls said they had been locked up for three nights and that their father only came at noon to bring them a sandwich and at night to sleep. They had mobile phones whose batteries had run out, so they couldn’t call for help.

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 alread y r eg is ter ed 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.

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 both the victim and his alleged attacker who was still unconscious.

Two of the policemen also received medical care for smoke inhalation and were taken to hospital.

The detained man had allegedly piled up a mattress and a large quantity of clothes in a corridor, which he then set fire to.

GUARDIA CIVIL have arrested two men - one a minor - for targeting children under the age of 14 for knife-point robberies in Murcia.

They chose their victims because of their age, looking for their targets in public places where little boys were known to gather in groups.

They would then surprise

the children, threatening them with a large knife before stripping them of any valuables, particularly mobile phones.

Police say they are suspected of at least two robberies with violence and intimidation in Torreagüera and San José de la Vega (Murcia).

One of those arrested is a Spanish minor with a long criminal record. For their part, the officers found that the other accused came to Spain from Morocco as an unaccompanied immigrant minor and that in recent years had starred in escapes from the juvenile centres of Arcos de la Frontera (Cadiz) and Alhama de Murcia. He is now an adult, so is no longer sheltered in juvenile centres.

The investigation began on October 20, when two children reported to the Guardia Civil that they had been assaulted at knife point when they were in the Ramblón de Torreagüera, a habitual meeting point for young people in the hamlet.

ARRESTED: Guardia Civil have detained two suspects.

The robbers took the youngsters’ phones, then, before fleeing, they threatened to hurt them if they told anyone what had happened. The young age of the victims, under the age of 14, generated social alarm among the neighbours.

A few days later, Guardia Civil investigators found out that a similar event had occurred in the nearby town of

San José de la Vega. Two robbers, with their heads covered by hoodies, approached a group of boys. One of them grabbed a boy by the neck of his shirt and put a knife to his victim’s stomach. The other robber then stole the boy’s bum bag.

Police investigations led to the identification of two suspects, residents of the hamlet

of Beniajá. They were arrested two days after allegedly committing the robberies. In addition, two mobile phones were returned to the victims.

The minor was placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and entered a secure juvenile centre. The second detained man, a Moroccan national, was remanded in custody.

Leaning to the right

RESULTS: Benijofar voted for right wing government.

RENOVATION: CEIP San Jaime is in line for a million euro makeover.

BEN IJOFAR voters have shown they are solidly behind conservative politicians at the general elections.

Centre right and right-wing parties took more than 56 per cent of the vote on Sunday, with the Partido Popular (PP) centre-right party taking a 30.5 per cent share (308 votes, 1.33 per cent up).

In second place was the socialist PSOE with 27.33 per cent of the votes (276, down 1.29 per cent) with the far-right Vox collecting 193 votes for a 19.11 per cent

share (up 10.21 per cent).

Unidas Podemos took a 13.76 per cent share (139 votes, up 1.19 per cent) while big losers were centre right party Ciudadanos with 71 votes for a 7.03 per cent share (down 9.76 per cent).

Other parties were: Més Compromís: eight votes, 0.79 per cent (down 0.49 per cent), PACMA: eight votes, 0.79 per cent (down 0.68 per cent), Avant Adelante los Verdes: one vote, 0.1 per cent and PCPE: one vote, 0.1 per cent.

Storm over renovation plan PLANS to spend more than a million euros on improving the San Jaime de Benijofar primary school have started a political storm with the opposition PSOE saying the town should have a new school.

The planned investment will pay for five new classrooms for children, a teachers’ room, two store rooms, a teaching equipment room and the repairs and upgrades for the primary school.

The €1.08 million c os t w ill be borne by the Generalitat regional government.

A t the mome nt the s c hool is de -

signed to house pupils in the first to sixth grades of primary education, while pre-school children from three to five years old have separate facilities.

But the PSOE (socialists) are not happy with the plans. In a statement they said: “As a whole, we have a totally obsolete school, with a lack of capacity and that does not comply with safety or accessibility regulations, as well as not having the necessary infrastructure to have sports areas, gymnasium, canteen, library or an infirmary, among others.”

The statement adds: “This does not seem to be important for the Partido Popular, which wants to ‘patch’ an old

school, wasting €1,080,000 instead of continuing with the socialist project of bui l di ng a new school al r eady approved by the Conselleria de Educacion.”

The PSOE, thinks “the idea of the Popular Party to carry out the construction of three classrooms inside the pr i m ar y school , el i m i nat i ng pl aygrounds and bringing together children of ver y di ff er ent ages i n a sm al l er space, will be a mistake that all our children, nephews and grandchildren will pay.”

But Mayor Luis Rodriguez (PP) has hit back at the criticism, saying that the PSOE has not scrutinised the plans properly.

Cash for football pitch BENIJOFAR’S football pitch will be renovated thanks to a grant from the Provincial Council of Alicante.

It has allocated €2 million to a scheme to refurbish artificial pitches in the towns of Algorfa, Algueña, Benferri, Benijofar, Castalla, Dolores, Formentera del Segura, Granja de Rocamora, Hondon de las Nieves and Muro de Alcoy.

The investment plan was recently approved by the provincial Council’s Committee on Culture, Transparency

and Sport.

The councillor responsible for sports, Bernabé Cano,said the grants were important as they “allow us to improve the sports facilities of our municipalities and, with it, the quality of life of our athletes.”

In addition to these grants, the council is allocating €300,000 to help elite athletes with training and preparation expenses.

A total of 956 people will benefit

from this aid package, which aims to ‘recognise and value the work they do throughout the season.’

Basketball, handball, volleyball, cycling, judo, taekwondo, rowing, sailing, swimming, tennis, badminton, golf, athletics, gymnastics, water polo, football, skating and Olympic shooting are some of the sports practised by beneficiaries of this fund, which has been increased by €50,000 over last year’s figure.

Driver nicked for clocking 220kph GUARDIA CIVIL nicked a driver for clocking 220 kilometres per hour on a Caceres motorway thanks to a video posted on Instagram.

The images reportedly recorded by the passenger and uploaded to social media in October show a vehicle doing the excessive speed on the EX-A2 on which the limit is 120 kilometres per hour.

The Guardia’s GIAT Traffic Investigation and Analysis

Group detected the video and set about identifying the person who posted it, leading to the detention of a 27-year-old man.

The Guardia issued a press release about the incident in which they issued a warning to motorists about the “danger of this type of conduct.”

The offence could result in a three to six-month prison sentence, a fine of between 31 and 90 days’ community service, on top of a one to four-year driving ban.

Racist rant on Madrid bus A PASSEN GER on a Madrid bus recorded a man launching into a racist rant directed at a young Latin American woman on her mobile phone.

In the video posted on social media by the platform Es Racismo, the man appears to start insulting and threatening the young woman when she refuses to change seat, yelling “Go back to your country,” and “I’m only not hitting you because you’re a woman.”

Meanwhile, the other passengers and the bus driver apparently say and do nothing.

Finally, when the young woman got up from her seat to get off the bus, the aggressor whacked her on the back and tried to kick her.

Only then do the friends of the man they call Arturo tell him to stop, shouting at his victim to get off the bus.

Green initiative continues

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

A town hall committee has now approved the conditions to be met by the sports clubs and associations with sportsw o m e n a n d w o m e n ’s t e a m s , a n n o u n c e d M a r i l o C e b r e r o s , B e n i d o r m ’s c o u n c i l l o r responsible for sport.

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.

Almeria in London ALMERIA has its eye on reinforcing and expanding its share of the British tourist market.

A delegation from the Provincial Tourist Service was in London this week to promote Almeria at the World Travel Market, considered one of the most important travel trade shows in Europe.

There was a 550sqm Costa de Almeria stand within the Andalucia exhibition area, and over the three days the Diputacion de Almeria Tourism delegate Fernando Gimenez met with travel agents, airlines, marketing companies, travel media and tour operators with a view to boosting British visitor numbers.

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.”

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.

Outside of Axarquia, Antequera has been approved to continue the works in Sierra de Yeguas, for the development of the fifth and sixth phase of urbanisation and paving of the Avenida Fuente de Piedra.

Sporting chance Axarquia investment for women

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.

Glorious once again SANTA MARIA Church will open its doors on November 17 to celebrate the end of restoration works. San Clemente Cultural Federation has organised the open day for guests to enjoy the newly refurbished temple.

Spain’s Ministry of Development has invested €1 million in the restoration so far, with further building still planned. Correos postal service, will also commemorate the occasion by issuing a stamp with the façade of the medieval church.

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.

CHURCH: Has undergone restoration works.

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.

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?

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.

BUSINESS EXTRA

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 scandals just won’t die NORA JOHNSON

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

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

THE 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.

CULTURE LINK: This bridge in Girona was built by Gustav Eiffel just before be built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

A HUB of Catalan culture in its own right, Girona is packed to the brim with museums, galleries and stunning buildings.

The historic centre built by the city’s abun­ dant wealth during medieval times has been well preserved over the centuries, surviving wars, sieges and revolutions.

The best way to see the city is to take a walk along the medieval walls, known as the Pas­ seig de la Muralla, that border the city centre and offer great views.

Girona has one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in all of Europe called El Call, which is

a maze of narrow, cobbled streets that look just how they would have 500 years ago when the Jewish population occupied this area of the city.

Another highlight that should not be missed is Girona Cathedral, which has a picturesque long staircase leading to the entrance that was used as a location to film Game of Thrones.

The city has its own small airport but there is also a high­speed train service that links Girona to the Catalan capital of Barcelona, so it makes a perfect destination for a quick day trip.

Make your New Home ‘Winter Friendly’ With Neater Heater EVERY year thousands of expats realise their dream as they buy their ‘Place in the Sun.’ Living in Spain can be liber­ ating 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 winter in mind, and most hardy northern Europeans 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 look­ ing for a decent home heating solution for their two families when, by chance, Tony discovered 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 chat­ tering 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 ed for less cost.

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 two­thirds capacity, (depending on var­ ious external influences).

A model to suit everyone.

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 inte­ grated Wi­Fi, so that you can control your heaters easily via a Wi­Fi APP, but still being able to control them manually if preferred, or the trendy original style Neo with digital controls and a choice of colours and if you are limited for wall space, then available for purchase are factory designed feet to en­ able the heater to be freestanding.

However, a few years ago we went one stage further and added the Turkish made Vigo heater. This heater shares the design technology and ethos of the current Neater Heaters, but it has two differences: The Vi­ go comes with a carrying handle, wall brack­ et, and feet included in the price; The larger Vigo 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 money through reduced running costs.

Richard and Tony decided to make these heaters available throughout the Costa Blanca, 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. However, if you have no agent near you, never fear, they can be bought from our internet shop and deliv­ ered to your door, often within a few days.

Glimpse of the Interior of Aston Martin’s DBX

NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England INTO a crowded some say saturated market Aston Martin will launch its first Sports Utility Vehicle. The launch will be on November 20, 2019 in Beijing, China.

The launch price of the SUV by the British marque has been confirmed at €193,500 plac­ ing the SUV well into the luxury bracket of on­ road or indeed off­road vehicles. As the DBX is an Aston Martin the emphasis is on the Sport of the SUV. The wheel base; the distance be­ tween the front pair and the rear pair, is set to permit the design team to maintain a low and sleek profile while expanding the interior vol­ ume of the cabin. More than six months of the design team’s time was spent refining the dri­ ver’s position within the SUV. The seating posi­ tion delivers a clear view of the bonnet to give confidence when manoeuvring in tight posi­ tions with cars. The objective, to offer a cabin that gives the driver an instant and relaxed confidence and offering a promise of dynamic performance as well as clear lines of sight.

Moving from the driver’s seat to a dash­ board which accentuates the sense of space and luxury. Each button and dial has been posi­ tioned with care and following extensive test­ ing to achieve the aim of instant familiarity.

team too. Their solution, a bridged centre con­ sole provides a space that will accept a large

1.5­litre bottle or a precious handbag; neither of which would benefit from rolling about on the possibly muddy floor. The passengers have been a central concern of the design team from the outset. The brief was to achieve an in­ clusive feeling, not to have the passengers feel that they were leaning over those in the front seats of the SUV. Smaller people children were also brought in to the picture with a group of children sharing their experiences and views of entering and leaving an ergonomic assessment test article at the company’s design studio.

The DBX is being built at a brand new and dedicated factory in Wales. A hand crafted cab­ in, the use of luxury materials and carefully considered ergonomics. Add a full length panoramic glass roof and expansive side win­ dows, a sports car package and off­road ven­ tures find a sense of light and expansive views of the world you are exploring.

No doubt Aston Martin will be talking more about the power plant at the reveal in Beijing , the preview of the interior that will carry you promises much.

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?

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.

63

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.

A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride? Let's face it, who is best equipped to blow your trumpet?

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) 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.

A skincare secret

AGEING is one of our biggest beauty concerns and it can turn into the bane of our existence.

With ageing comes anti­ageing products, de­ signed 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 product that has got everybody talking. From skincare experts and beauty fanatics to dermatologists, 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 properties 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 promotes collagen production and exfoliates the outer­ most layer of skin. It changes the way aged cells behave, making them act like younger cells. This results in softening, improving 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 al­ so be lightened with this acidic product as skin tone is evened out.

AMAZING RESULTS: Retinol is a strong product that renews skin.

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 com­ bat this, adding very small amounts to your moisturiser can introduce skin slowly to the in­ gredient, always making sure to use SPF after­ wards.

It is also encouraged that people without un­ derlying skin conditions use small amounts when starting to use retinol. Beginning by ap­

plying twice a week and then gradually increas­ ing the quantity if skin reacts well.

Applying retinol is recommended 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 ingredi­ ent 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 forgetting however, that pre­ vention is always better than cure and this product will keep skin glowy.

If you are looking for a retinoid product many well­known cosmetic companies have them on sale. Roc, Neutrogena, La Roche­Posay, Olay and Elizabeth Arden all have different types of retinol products. Any chemist or make­up store will probably stock this type of product in many varying forms.

AI scans for cancer ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is now being used to detect cancer in a pi­ oneering procedure. A new blood test uses AI to quickly scan for brain tumours with 90 per cent ac­ curacy. Scientist hope that this new diagnostic tool could be used by the NHS and hospitals worldwide.

Brain tumours are hard to detect and cause symptoms that can be confused with other maladies.

These ambiguous symptoms in­ clude headaches, memory loss and vision problems, with a scan being the only way to detect the cancer­ ous cells. On many occasions, this can result in late diagnosis and the illness reaching advanced stages.

The new test is currently being tested and is able to give doctors a result within hours. Scientists hope this system will result in more cases of early detection and successful treatment. The AI looks for the exis­ tence of gliomas, the most common form of brain tumours.

The innovative discovery took place at the University of Edinburgh and was presented at the Cancer

EFFICIENT: The blood test could give results in mere hours.

Research Institute’s annual confer­ ence in Glasgow.

In the UK, more than 9,000 peo­ ple have brain tumours detected, of which around half are cancerous, with a similar number of cases in Spain. Figures reveal only 15 per

cent of these patients survive five or more years after their diagnosis.

And a staggering 62 per cent of peo­ ple are diagnosed in the emergency ward, even though they might have visited their GP beforehand.

However, if the test ends up be­

ing used in hospitals, a larger num­ ber of people could be tested and detection could skyrocket. Scientists working on the AI predict that the test could reach public clinics within 18 months. Currently, the blood test has been trialled on 400 people

with signs of tumours. The test cor­ rectly identified 40 people with can­ cer and 82 per cent of total cancers, giving it a high accuracy rating.

One of the benefits of the new tool, is how simple and straightfor­ ward the test is. The Artificial Intelli­ gence program runs on a laptop and takes a small amount of time. It us­ es a technique called infrared spec­ troscopy that reads the chemical compounds in blood.

Once the blood has been extract­ ed, AI analyses the results and looks for patterns that could indicate a tu­ mour, indicating if the patient needs a scan to confirm the pres­ ence of cancer.

For health services, it would mean giving a simple blood test to patients before having to do a time­ consuming scan and the process of detection and referral for brain scans would be more efficient.

Investigators are now looking to run further tests to get the system implanted. A trial will be performed on 600 British patients who are cur­ rently awaiting a brain scan.

Discussing the big issues 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 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.

Investigators and high charges believe that efficient governments will prioritise measures that actually save lives and also reduce the con­ sumption of unhealthy prod­ ucts like cigarettes with tax­ es.

Attendants were in agreeance that countries should start making the hard decisions of prioritising what matters.

Queen of pop ROSALIA continues her reign as queen of Spanish pop and has taken away awards at both the recent MTV Europe Awards and Los40 Awards.

Performing at both cere­ monies she was accompanied by her dance troupe with per­ fectly choreographed moves and eyecatching costumes at the EMA’s but opted for a stripped­back ballad and spray on pink latex gown in Madrid.

Her popularity continues to

grow and has seen her win at the Latin Grammys last year for Best Urban and Best Alter­ native song.

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.

Pop royalty

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.

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.

Is buying to rent a good investment?

SOURCE: Facebook

INVESTMENT is always seen as a bit of a gamble, a way of saving with hopes of a hefty future return. But, in the current climate with sky­high stock market prices and negative interest yields, investors can be overcau­ tious and asking where can they safely put their mon­ ey?

There are no guarantees you can walk away with a good return whether you in­ vest in the stock market, property or in a business venture. What can make a difference in success or fail­ ure is how you invest.

Some of the main factors to take into consideration when making investment de­ cisions are the product, time and place and also your win­ dow of opportunity.

You should become famil­ iar with the product you are buying into, you must do your homework. As for time, look at how your particular type of venture performed in its specific area or market in the past, its current perfor­

This will allow you to have a sense of growth or if there looks to be a fluctuating cy­ cle. Having an idea of this will lead to identifying the opportunity, as this makes your savings grow, earning income and gaining value.

Buying during a growth cy­

cle will cost more, but offers more direct earnings whilst buying on a downward cycle will get you a bargain, but you will have to wait longer for a high income. Avoid buy­ ing during a peak cycle when assets tend to be overvalued and are set to dip in both value and income­generating potential.

Looking at properties bought to rent on the Costa del Sol as assets is an inter­ esting proposition as the re­ gion’s real estate market has grown stronger over the last five years with a renewed construction sector and an interest in modern property.

The demand for properties to buy in Marbella and sur­ rounding areas has remained strong across a broad group of buyers from Spain and abroad. However, it is being outperformed by the rental market, where rent has risen greatly for short holiday lets and long term rentals.

The reason for the first op­ tion is because the region has consistent high year­

round tourist numbers cater­ ing to thinks like golfing and spa holidays or cultural trav­ el. On the other hand, long term lets are popular as many of the current resi­ dents cannot afford to buy or fulfil mortgage require­ ments and therefore look to

rent.

Many of those renting are professionals with good earning power, so knowing how to manage holiday or long term rents allows you to earn a good return on your investment whilst watching its value grow.

ROAD TEST

by Nick Fletcher JEEP is a legendary brand and its Wrangler model has won a reputation for toughness and go­anywhere capability which stretches back to the Second World War. Originally found­ ed in America and now part of the giant Fiat­Chrysler Group, Jeep is still creating rugged yet stylish vehicles and the new Wrangler is a prime example.

With prices starting at €47,995 (£41,455), the Wran­ gler comes in two and four­ door form, with petrol and diesel engines, and a choice of two different four­wheel­drive systems. New styling gives the Wrangler a more formidable appearance and the cabin has also been refreshed and up­ graded and offers increased storage capacity. Boot space in the four­door versions is 533 litres, boosted to 1,044 litres with the rear seats folded.

While the emphasis is usual­ ly on Wrangler’s amazing off­ road capability, the model is al­ so happy on city streets, providing a comfortable ride

tion, reversing camera, and electronic stability control with roll mitigation.

The new engines ­ a 2.2­litre 200 hp turbo diesel and 2.0­ litre 272 hp turbo petrol ­ both use eight­speed automatic transmission. Depending on trim level, there is a choice of two different on­demand four­ wheel­drive systems ­ Com­ mand­Trac and Rock­Trac.

EWN 85

Both systems feature the new Selec­Trac full­time two­ speed transfer case for contin­ uous monitoring and manage­ ment of the torque sent to front and rear wheels.

The Wrangler has always been praised more for its off­ road ability than its on­road performance, but it is also very responsive on the tarmac. The diesel version has a 0­100 kph time of 10.3 seconds and top speed of 160 kph (100 mph).

Emissions are 209 g/km and average fuel economy is 12.8 kpl (36 mpg).

Another Wrangler plus­point is that it is the only full open­air 4x4 SUV available on the mar­ ket. It offers various top combi­ nations including the Sky One­ Touch Powertop, new Zipperless Premium Sunrider soft top and Freedom Top, a re­ movable three­panel hard top.

With new styling, latest en­ gines and backed by a five­year warranty, the Jeep Wrangler can blend extreme off­road performance with practical everyday urban cruising, a rare combination which is very hard to match.

Range Rover beauty over brawn generation 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 sleek­ est 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 in­ cludes design, road comfort and luxury as its focal points.

Land Rover’s Design Direc­ tor, Gerry McGovern, 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 Bent­ ley and Rolls­Royce can do an SUV, why can’t Land Rover or Range Rover do a luxury car?”

Little is known of the planned mechanical struc­ ture for the Crossover, but the upcoming MLA platform can house an electric motor on each axle, supplying four­ wheel drive.

With smaller dimensions it will also feature a smaller battery than the 100kWh unit planned for the full­size all­electric Range Rover, al­

Land Rover will seek to maximise that range by opti­ mising the new model’s aerodynamic efficiency, hence the decision to pursue a lower, crossover­style ma­ chine.

The electric Crossover will be one of the key models in

a continued expansion and reinvention of Jaguar Land Rover’s line­up.

Jaguar Land Rover’s strug­ gles in China have been a factor in the company’s fi­ nancial woes, improving its performance in the country is a key part of the turn­ around strategy. With the Chinese government favour­ ing fully electric cars, the Crossover will be vital to the firm’s renewed push in the country.

In a presentation to in­ vestors this year, company bosses said they planned 14 new or refreshed name­ plates next year including electrified versions of exist­ ing models ­ with 16 more following from 2021 on­ wards.

Force of the Foxes LEICESTER CITY under the m a n a g e m e n t o f B re n d a n 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 results.

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 Tielemans, who rolled a first­time pass across the face of goal, teeing up Vardy. He slammed into the bottom left, giving the Ar­ senal keeper no chance.

With 15 minutes to play Leices­ ter City struck again when Vardy chased Praet’s right­to­left pass into the Arsenal box. He pulled the ball back for Maddison, who

though were concerns for Leices­ ter as Vardy looked to have hurt his shoulder, upon falling. He winced in pain, a blotch on Leices­ ter’s otherwise perfect day. But he insisted on playing on. With an in­ ternational break coming up, he will have time to recover and con­

Solskjaer defends himself after win MANCHESTER UNITED took on Brighton on Sun­ day at Old Trafford and put in a good perfor­ mance for their under­ fire manager Solskjaer with a 3 ­1 victory.

Solskjaer hailed the win as United’s “best per­ formance of the season.”

“It was a great perfor­ mance and we should have won by a bigger dis­ tance,” he said after the game.

“We attacked superbly ­ it was exhilarating, at­ tacking football. The boys were so quick and we created chances. We scored three, but it should have been six or seven, especially in the second half.

“It’s a young team and you can see they enjoyed themselves. When you

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 Bren­

dan Rodgers as the title holders from 2015/16 season move into second position of the table.

After the game Arsenal manager 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 opportunities 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 did­ n’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 confi­ dence ... 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.
