PHASING OUT

WITH the majority of Spain now having entered Phase 2 of de-escalation it is still very surprising to find that the streets are relatively quiet and the businesses that have decided to move ahead and reopen are still not receiving the custom we may have expected.

Although people have been very vocal about expressing their need to get out in the streets and retur n to the bars and coffee shops on social media, now there seems to be some reluctance.

It is understandable that residents may have some fears as to what they face outside, but many businesses have gone through extra planning and expense to make their establishments safe for you, the customer.

Whether it be marking out spaces to allow social distancing, removing tables to create space, supplying sanitary products or retraining staff on new health standards, they have gone to this extra trouble not only to keep their livelihoods going but also to welcome you, the public, back to the places you enjoyed eating with

A young family enjoying the beach. your family, having a coffee and a chat with friends or enjoyed taking the children for a day out.

Many beaches are now open, you would think that in itself would have people sprinting from the homes that have imprisoned them the last couple of months, straight for the sea and the sun.

Surely that’s one of the main reasons why expats have decided to relocate to Spain, chasing the sun, the relaxed Spanish lifestyle of enjoying things outdoors, tapas, paella, relaxing on the beach, things you won’t find at home.

We need to trust in the Health Ministry who have said it is now a safe time for us to leave our homes. We need to give business owners hope and reassurance that their café, restaurant, bar, shop etc will succeed.

So let’s get out there and show our support and start to return to a normal life.

Let’s appreciate everything we moved to this beautiful country for.

BACK TO THE BEACH: Bathers can access the beach but should continue social distancing.

In these regions, the rate of infection of the virus has now dropped to within the criteria that allow further progression through the phase system.

Spanish Health Minister Salvador Illa announced the good news last Thursday evening, which was a day earlier than planned.

This means many rules have relaxed for residents in these areas, allowing for a continued move towards a normal life. Although these restrictions have eased off, it is important to note that these activities must still be partaken in your own

province, unless for work reasons.

Shops may now open to 40 per cent capacity and shopping centres have been able to open for the first time since isolation, but with lower capacity in any areas deemed as communal.

Bars and restaurants that had opened but could only use terraces can now invite customers inside as long as they stick to 50 per cent capacity and there is no bar service.

Social contact has now been stretched to allow groups of 15 to meet together. Howeve r, t h i s d o e s s t i l l e x clude anybody classed as being vulnerable, elderly or underlying health issues.

When it comes to exercise residents no longer need to follow the previous timetable.

But, slots of time allo-

cated for the vulnerable should still be adhered to.

For the vast majority of people, the news that they can now go to the beach for bathing will be one of the most exciting changes. Swimming pools are also open to 30 per cent capacity and exercise gyms can open for one to one classes by appointment only, these should not include contact sports.

Cinemas and theatres have reopened with reduced seating to allow for social distancing measures. As h a v e c h u rc h e s w h i c h can welcome up to 50 per cent capacity.

In a further move that may bolster the tourism sector hotels have been able to open communal areas but have to respect certain capacity restrictions.

a resident as soon as you are able.

Many of you have contacted us to ask when residency appointments will be available again, given the recent coronavirus lockdown.

We understand that in those provinces that have now moved into Phase 2 or 3 of the Spanish government’s de-escalation plan, some offices are opening a limited number of appointments.

However, many may not have their appointment systems back up and running yet.

You should keep checking the Spanish Public Administration portal (https://sede.ad ministra cionespublicas.gob.es/icp plus/index.html) to see if appointments are available in your area. You may need to be patient as provinces are lifting restrictions at different rates.

Council helps Triple A

AS funds continue to shrink, the Triple A Animal Shelter in Marbella received good news from the city council which is resurrecting its decision to install new water and sanitation links to the shelter.

Although it was agreed in principle, everything was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the council has indicated that it hopes to start work within the next two weeks.

Later in the year it plans to construct a number of prefabricated structures and introduce LED lighting which is more energy efficient.

The Spanish authorities have not yet announced when this will be introduced.

In the meantime, those registering for the first time will be issued with the

green residency certificate.

HMA Hugh Elliott said: “I know that because of the suspension of residency appointments during the State of Alarm, many UK nationals are concerned about their ability to obtain the correct documentation before December 31.

I want to reassure people on two points.

“If you already have the

green residency certificate, your core rights are protected and it remains a valid document, even after the end of the transition period.

“If you don’t yet have your green residency certificate there is, likewise, no need for alarm.

“We continue to advise people to get an appointment as soon as you can.

However, as long as you are living in Spain and can prove you satisfy the legal conditions of residence (ie sufficient income and access to healthcare) by December 31, 2020, your rights are assured even if you are not able to get the physical document by the end of the year.”

Please remember that citizens’ rights are already protected by the Withdrawal Agreement, which was ratified by the UK and the EU in January. This guarantees your rights and means that as long as you are legally resident here by the end of 2020: You will be able to continue to live and work in Spain.

UK state pensioners will continue to have lifelong healthcare access as long as they remain living in Spain (this also applies to residents who claim a UK state pension in the future) and your UK state pension will continue to be uprated.

Andalucian Products CONSUME ANDALUCIA is a campaign commissioned by the Andalucian government to remind everyone about the sacrifice of farmers, ranchers, and fishermen, who during the State of Alarm have worked to supply the Andalucian, national and world markets.

“With the hashtag # ConsumeAndalucia, citizens have the opportunity to demonstrate on social networks their generosity, commitment, solidarity, and gratitude to those who these past weeks worked in silence to guarantee the supply of basic products in the shopping cart. Agriculture, livestock, fishing, and sustainable development were the heroes, and now is the time for recognition and support.”

Throughout the crisis supermarkets across Spain experienced the largest rise in sales for years, some quoting a 30 per cent increase, this is now expected to flatten out as people eat out at restaurants and are also able to buy fresh farm produce themselves, a trend the government hopes will continue.

EURO WEEKLY NEWS spoke to Jackie Quick, owner of Jackie’s Bar on Fuengirola’s busy Paseo. Jackie has been feeding families in need during the lockdown by raising money for food and making deliveries. “In the beginning I was feeding some British families or giving them food parcels to take away from the bar/restaurant.

“However, some people have now received their ERTE but are still not getting enough to survive.”

As the lockdown eases off Jackie has been able to reopen her business and would like to be able to concentrate on running that by handing over these desperate families to some of the other food banks or authorities.

“Cruz Roja and Social Services really need to step up. I spoke to a lady who is on a four-week waiting list for food through one of these associations.”

The only way Jackie has managed to continue to fund her services are that she had managed to

Teenager arrested A 15-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested by the National Police accused of sexually assaulting a 12year-old girl in Marbella.

Reports suggest that the pair were part of a group of youngsters who met in a local park and started drinking alcohol.

It is alleged that the boy, who is reportedly not Spanish, persuaded the girl to go to a squat which he shares with other young people and it was there that the assault took place.

After returning home, the girl told her parents what had happened and they in turn contacted the National Police.

The girl was interviewed by members of the force who are trained to deal with this type of alleged crime and after this, the boy was arrested.

As he is also considered to be a minor in the eyes of the law his interview was classed as an examination but after details were passed to the Prosecutor’s Office, he was placed in a juvenile hall of detention before the matter comes to court.

If she can find somebody to take over the reins she would happily pass any resources she has over to allow the families to continue to get the help they need.

Rotary helping others THE International Rotary Club of Mijas has been donating food to two worthwhile charity organisations based in Fuengirola during the current State of Alarm.

Its first recipient was the Asociación ADINTRE which has been helping those in need along the Costa del Sol for more than 10 years by producing 200 meals and 60 breakfasts each day.

Members of the Rotary Club, Mrs Suvi Kauranen and Rozita Iles (councillor for Social Services, Fuengirola) alongside founder of ADRINTE Joyce Gyimah did the shopping and bought the food which they donated to the charity.

The other recipient was the Costa del Sol Food Bank which was set up in 2009 and in the past year alone has helped more than 1,170 individuals and families who have been financially affected by the lockdown.

PRINCESS of the people’s paper IN last week’s issue we named your local heroes and Euro Weekly News was so happy to pass on your words of praise in thanking them for a job well done.

We also had one winner of a special recognition award who has just blown us away with everything she has done and continues to do for the community, Kara Caradas.

EWN was able to plan a little secret awards ceremony for Kara in Mijas, last Wednesday. Joining her in the celebration were members of her family including her sister Penny Quinlan and her husband Marc, EWN General Manager Nicki Burgess and owners Michel and Steven Euesden.

On receiving her award Kara said “Thank you so, so, so much to everyone who voted for me in the Euro Weekly News, I feel very humbled so many silver linings have come from Covid-19. I can’t thank the public enough for all the support. I am so proud of our community for coming together and making it all possible and Euro Weekly News for the constant support to make sure we could keep going. This was a team effort.”

Kara hit the headlines with her Food Fairies, a group consisting of Kara’s sisters, family, Pippa Jones, Jackie Quick

Kara also helps with many animal charities in the area and when she is not feeding the dogs she sometimes goes as far as adopting them herself. She also runs a project that finds jobs for children from Malaga orphanages or employs them in the restaurants she and her sisters own.

She is the owner of The Boardwalk in Marbella, sister Penny owns The Harbour and The Playwright restaurants, whereas her other sister Charley coowns The Boardwalk restaurant and owns the famous Mirage nightclub.

For the party, food and cocktails were supplied by Taylor’s Deli, Calahonda with their special private catering service.

Scott Taylor, the owner, pointed out that “The food for the day is part of our very popular BBQ packs. They include home-made canapes, a selection of home-made burgers, sausages, pork chops and Tandoori chicken.”

Behind the curtain

By Damon Mitchell

G I B R A LTA R - b a s e d author, Lowri Madoc, is set to publish her first children’s book in June 2020.

Euro Weekly News had the chance to speak to Lowri about the first of her six planned books ‘Hetty Backstage,’ which she says is “a semi-autobiographical children’s story about a young girl who follows her famous actor parents around the country’s theatres, TV studios and movie sets on her weekends away from boarding school.”

As the daughter of two of Britain’s favourite actors, Ruth and Philip Madoc, Lowri was aware her home life was a little different from that of many of her friends at boarding school.

“Growing up, my weekends and holidays were often spent backstage in theatres and on TV and film sets. So, the book actually describes genuine scenarios.”

Her parents’ work meant large parts of Lowri’s for mative years were spent immersed in sitcoms, game shows, pantos and films, as well as various TV drama series.

F r o m ‘It’s a Knockout’ to ‘Dostoyevsky,’ the exposure couldn’t have been more diverse.

sionally, but reluctantly, Lowri would be asked to get involved in front of the camera. Funny, yet usually cringey, her credits include ‘Hi-de-Hi,’ the game show ‘Whose Baby?’ and ‘This is Your Life.’ Not interested in the limelight, Lowri was however captivated by what went on backstage a n d onset.

After

many hours spent with production staff and front of house teams, it was little wonder she chose a career in stage management and then theatre management.

Lowri is a first-time writer and thinks she has started a “whole new chapter” of her life.

“I have enjoyed using the isolation period to do something creative and also got Mum involved to feel like we are doing something t o g e t h e r, s h e w i l l b e doing a special audio version of the book.”

NATIONAL

Act of remembrance Interest-free loans due to Covid-19

NATIONAL MOURNING: Royal family hold a minute of silence in honour of the victims of the Covid-19 pandemic.

THE Royal family of Spain held a minute of silence in honour of the victims who have passed as a result of the coronavirus crisis on the first day of national mourning.

King Felipe VI, the Queen Letizia, and their two daughters, all stood outside the royal palace dressed in black with a half mast flag in the background to hon-

our those victims lost by the coronavirus.

This act of remembrance has also occurred in numerous town halls and institutions across the nation, marking the first day of national mourning in the country.

Apart from this homage, all social media profiles of the royal family appear with a black crepe to symbol-

ise mourning.

The royal decree which declared a period of national mourning entered into force on May 27 and will last until tomorrow Friday June 5.

Once Spain has finished the State of Alarm and officially entered the ‘new normality,’ King Felipe VI is expected to lead and preside a great official act in memory of the victims.

INDIVIDUALS can apply for interest and fee-free loans to cover the rent of their main residence due from April 1, 2020. The loans are expected to benefit around 450,000 families, protecting not only the landlord, but also tenants.

The loans will be backed by the government’s Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda (MITMA), through the country’s SPAIN has changed its policy over allowing a Moroccan girl to go to school.

The UN child rights committee in Geneva said that the decision to allow the 12year-old into a primary school in Melilla, Spain’s enclave in North Africa, was a good example in dealing with around 80 similar cases.

The decision came six weeks after the UN commit-

official Credit Institute (ICO).

So far 11 banks have agreed to offer the loans.

They include Bankia, Santander, Sabadell, Cajamar, Liberbank, Unicaja, Abanca, Bankoa, Laboral Kutxa, Caja Pollença and Caja Ontenient. MITMA expects more banks to sign up to offer the loans over the coming days.

The loans are for people who have seen their income reduced, or who

have been laid off from work, as a result of Covid-19 and those with minors or dependents in their care as a result of the crisis, which is affecting their ability to return to work.

The loans will cover a maximum of six months of rent, up to €900 per month from April 1, 2020. The loan can be paid back over a period of six years, with an additional four years, if required.

UN applauds Spain tee asked Spain to take steps to admit the girl, who was actually born and raised in Melilla, to be admitted into the public education system.

The whole issue revolved around the child and her mother being classified as ‘irregular’ residents, and so

she was not allowed to access public schooling.

Back in 2018, she joined other youngsters in the same position starting a two-year campaign.

That included staging a weekly protest outside the Ministry of Education in Melilla.

Burning Tyres SHORTLY after announcing the closure of the Nissan factory in Barcelona, which effectively means letting go of 2,800 employees, many workers gathered outside the gates on Thursday, May 28, to protest and burnt tyres in hopes of sparking a reaction from Nissan.

Unions have warned that they will not stand for the company’s closure plans. A Vice-President of economic affairs in Spain, Nadia Calviño, has assured that they are willing to look for “an alternative solution” to help the workers.

PROTESTORS: Set tyres on fire.

The General Secretary of CCOO in Catalonia, Javier Pacheco, insists on highlighting the immense cost (€1 billion) that the closure of the plant will incur, which includes compensation to workers, suppliers and

A 12-YEAR-OLD boy in Granada sadly lost his life, at around 12.50pm on Saturday May 30, when a solar panel in Alfacar fell on top of him.

Neighbours called the emergency services, warning the Public Company of Health Emergencies that the minor had been crushed by a solar panel.

The accident happened on a site on Avenida Principe Felipe de Alfacar which the Guardia Civil and Local Police have

commercial and labour legal claims. However, Gianluca De Ficchy, the President of Nissan Europe, has stated that the decision to close the Barcelona plant has been taken and is irreversible

Sad death already moved all potential hazards from.

The operators at the scene were only able to confirm the tragic death of a minor, who was ultimately crushed by the force of the solar panel, without disclosing any further information regarding the circumstances under which the accident happened.

GUARDIA CIVIL: Have moved all potential hazards from the site.

Police officer Littered impersonated masks CATALONIA’S Mossos police officers have arrested a local man in Tarragona for impersonating a police officer to commit sexual crimes.

The 33-year-old man allegedly approached several women for supposedly breaking the law, and then coerced them for sexual favours to avoid getting a fine or

being sanctioned. There are numerous cases of similar events, which actually go back to 2018, according to Mossos.

The perpetrator has now been detained while other cases are being investigated not only in Tarragona, but other similar incidents reported in Reus, Salou and Cambrils.

ON May 21 Spain’s government made the decision to make the use of face masks in public spaces mandatory, however, with this decree also came the disposal of used face masks on the ground. Streets across the country have been littered with disposable protective gear and now town halls are taking action and issuing fines.

Don’t Monkey Around

THE Gibraltar government has always taken the view that whilst it encourages visitors to enjoy seeing and to a limited extent interacting with the Barbary macaques, it has discouraged them f ro m t o u c h i n g o r otherwise interfering with macaque natural behaviour.

The head of this governmental department, Alberto Garzon, had already contacted airlines in order to get them to re-

MACAQUES: You can look but you mustn’t touch.

The official line is that not only does it prejudice their health and social structure, but macaques are prone to succumb to human disease.

There is of course the legend that should Gibraltar lose its macaque population then Britain in tur n would lose the Rock, so there may be an el-

ement of self-protection in this decision.

The government has therefore published a Bill to amend the Animals Act which will make touching or other inter ference with the natural behaviour of macaques an offence except under licence for management, research or veterinary purposes.

Chop shop arrests

STOLEN VEHICLES: Scene from the ‘Chop Shop.’

AN assembly plant taking stolen vehicles in Madrid has been closed down by the National Police who estimate that the gang of seven who were involved made €600,000 from their activities.

The seven men each had their own specific job and between them would steal cars to order, remove parts which they sold, sent remaining scrap to breakers yards and even re-

paired vehicles using the parts from the stolen cars.

The investigation started in February of this year when officers heard rumours of the activities of the gang working from a warehouse in the Madrid suburb of Alcala de Henares and when they raided the premises, they found three stolen cars.

They also discovered that some of the stolen cars weren’t, but were

owned by associates of the gang so as well as theft of genuine vehicles, there was also an insurance scam which saw two individuals (from Romania) claiming theft and receiving payment from insurance companies for cars that went through the warehouse.

So far, officers have established 25 alleged criminal acts against those who were arrested.

Takeover bid ONE of Spain’s top mobile phone and internet companies MasMovil is set to be owned by Americans, in a move that will be watched closely by rivals like Movistar and Vodafone.

An American group of private equity investors have tabled what they have described as a “friendly bid” of under €3 billion for MasMovil.

The immediate effect of that news saw their share levels increase by over 20 per cent.

PHONE DEAL: Will be beneficial for shareholders.

MasMovil has been in business for 23 years fighting names like Movistar and Vodafone, and sells packages of landline and mobile

IBERIA and Vueling and airport operator AENA are giving away free air tickets to Spain’s health sector workers to thank them for everything they are doing on the coronavirus frontline.

The two airlines are gifting 25,000 double air tickets each for 70 different destinations in Spain

SPAIN’S poorest people are to get around €500 per month in a basic income plan approved by the government.

The scheme has been spurred on by the coronavirus pandemic, and has set the support at roughly half of the minimum wage of €1,108 per month per person.

The government says that people aged between 23 and 65 years with assets of less than €16,614, which don’t include their

phones, as well as internet access.

MasMovil’s Austrian CEO, Meinrad Spenger, said that the company had met the private eq-

uity investors, and had agreed to the bid, and said it would be “beneficial for the shareholders and other stakeholders in the company.”

The deal is almost certain to go through, even though half of the shareholders would have to accept the offer.

One factor is that the bidders have told MasMovil that they are not planning any changes in the direction of the operation, or in the management and staffing.

RR moves

ROLLS ROYCE is to move its Power Systems marine division plant from Catalonia to Spain’s Costa Blanca region.

It’s a fresh blow to the north-eastern area of the country that last week saw car-maker Nissan announce plans to shut its Barcelona factory, with the loss of around 3,000 jobs.

Rolls Royce through its subsidiary company, Bergen Engines, has been in Tarragona for over 30 years, and is switching the operation to Alicante.

Royce’s Spanish marine division was largely acquired by Norwegian-owned Konsgberg Maritime Spain last year, who then moved their registered office to Alicante.

The Catalonia business is said to generate annual sales of €800 million, with the company having an order book of around €450 million.

Bergen Engines specialises in making diesel and medium speed petrol engines for merchant ships.

Free flights to thank health workers and Europe and AENA will cover the airport taxes, because “it’s time to care for those who most care for us,” they said in a joint press statement.

The tickets are for doctors, nurses, auxiliary nurses, porters, cleaners and transport staff, among others, working in hospitals, health centres and care

Political Viewpoint from Spain

by DAMON MITCHELL THIS week we have seen the gloves come off with politicians going to extremes in battle and stooping childishly low with name-calling. Pablo Iglesias is the centre of attention due to his encounters with Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo in parliamentary headquarters.

To l e d o d e d i c a t e d h e r speech to an attack on the P o d e m o s l e a d e r, c a l l i n g h i m a n “ i m p o s t o r, ” “ l i a r ” and “son of a terrorist.”

Iglesias struck back by taking a swipe at her noble status and mockingly referring to her as a “marquise.” Álvarez de Toledo is indeed the Marquise de Casa Fuerte.

Now, this is all going on whilst these “leaders” and decision-makers are supposed to be creating a way forward for Spain and

FEATURE

Baited words and promises

people are struggling through the economic fallout from the health crisis.

The tactics are reminiscent of the days of the “two Spains” and show far more of a split than unity.

Whilst this is going on Sanchez has now made clear his plan to push for a sixth and final State of Alarm. He has finally been able to make a deal with the ERC, Catalonian party who previously abstained from backing one extension and voted against other extensions.

However, this deal is not only to give autonomous leaders their power back, it looks as though they may have some kind of deal in the pipeline that will benefit them over the coming months.

T h e B a s q u e p a r t y , P N V, have also given the go-

ahead with their support of the State of Alarm.

Sanchez said during his request on Sunday that his country needed two more weeks of lockdown until June 21 “to finish with the pandemic once and for all.”

Congress were due to meet on Wednesday June 3 to vote on the extension and should it go ahead it will mean that from June 21 the State of Alar m should end and with it the lockdown, allowing residents to move freely throughout their regions and from July 1, they should be able to move throughout the whole of Spain.

WAR OF WORDS: Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo aka Marquise de Casa Fuerte.

Electricity Subsidies

Union asks BA for answers

THE European Union confirms that it has approved the volume of subsidies granted by Spain to electricity suppliers who operate in the Balearics, the Ca­ nary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.

This financial support falls under the terms of the EU Service of General Eco­ nomic Interest (SGEI) and is granted in order to keep electricity prices similar to those charged in mainland Spain.

These subsidies may continue until 2029 except for the Balearics as a new underwater connection with the main­ land is due to go into service in 2025.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Can they stay longer?

My husband and I have been in Spain since March 3 and planned to go back to the UK on March 17, but the lockdown happened on March 16. We were offered a new flight April 2 but that was cancelled. Now we are booked for November 10. We would prefer to stay un­ til then as we have our own place. Our main concern is if flights become available from July, would we have to take one? We are aware that, from March 3 to August 4, our six­ month period as non­residents is up, but under the circum­ stances, could we legally stay until November 10?

S K (by email) First, your l e g a l tourist visit to YOU AND THE LAW Spain is limited to IN SPAIN 90 days, not six months. The rule is 90 days stay in any 180­day period. After 90 days, you must leave Spain for at least 90 days. To answer your question, the Spanish government is trying to extend the legal State of Alarm until the end of June. If they do, this would give you 90 days from then, ending in Sep­ tember. So it seems you must return to the UK before November.

UK Economy MICHAEL SAUNDERS a member of the Bank of England Mone­ tary Policy Committee has is­ sued a frank statement about the UK economy and his expec­ tations for the coming years.

In simple terms, there is like­ ly to be a huge increase in un­ employment, a drop in the amount of money collected through taxation and a reduc­ tion in the amount spent by consumers.

With almost zero inflation and reduced bank lending fore­ seen, the Bank of England will almost certainly need to in­ crease the volume of cash it pumps into the economy.

GBP/EUR drops to six-week lows, coronavirus crisis is still driving movement ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday

STAYING up­to­date with the latest currency news can help you time your transfers effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for in the month ahead…

Latest currency news The economic impact of the coro­ navirus pandemic has been the main driver behind currency move­ ment over the past few weeks.

Last week saw the release of the UK’s latest flash GDP figure, which fell by ­5.8 per cent, while Germany ­ the Eurozone’s largest economy ­ entered a technical recession.

The pound fell to a six­week low of €1.11 against the euro, while the GBP/USD exchange rate fluctu­ ated between highs of $1.21 and

LATEST NEWS: Brexit returned to the spotlight last week. lows of $1.20.

Meanwhile, EUR/GBP rose to highs of £0.89 as Eurozone economies continued reopening, with France and Germany easing lockdown restrictions. EUR/USD is currently trading in the region of $1.08.

What’s been happening?

Brexit returned to the spotlight last week after the UK and the EU concluded their latest round of

Brexit trade talks. Sterling stumbled after David Frost, Britain’s chief Brexit negotiator, said that the two sides had made ‘very little’ progress.

Last Wednesday also saw a slew of dire UK economic data, with UK growth falling in the flash estimate for the first quarter. Many analysts believe that the second­quarter will be far worse.

Meanwhile, the euro struggled

after Germany’s first­quarter GDP posted its sharpest contraction since the 2008 financial crisis.

However, the euro ultimately came out on top as Germany and France moved to reopen their economies.

Finally, while the US dollar initial­ ly benefited from rising US­China trade tensions last week (after US President Donald Trump criticised Beijing’s handling of the coron­ avirus) poor US retail sales data and rising risk appetite saw USD slide before the weekend.

What do you need to look out for?

Tuesday will see the release of the UK’s ILO Unemployment Rate report for March.

The unemployment rate is ex­ pected to rise from 4 per cent to 4.4 per cent, a result which could keep the pound on the back foot.

Bank of England (BoE) Chief Econ­

omist Andy Haldane said that we could see a return to ‘80s levels of unemployment.’

US­China trade developments will continue to drive the US dollar this week. Any signs of deteriorating re­ lations between the two superpow­ ers could prove USD­positive.

EUR investors will be focusing on the Eurozone’s latest PMI reports and will be looking for indications that output is starting to recover now that economies in the currency bloc are reopening.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT

FEATURE

Who’d be a politician?

ONE of the many drawbacks of this virus pandemic is that due to shortages of staff, producing a column dealing with current affairs can be most difficult. (In fact the mere continuance of this EWN publication during the crisis is nothing short of a minor miracle, for which all concerned must be highly congratulated!) It does however mean that, due to articles needing to be submitted much earlier than usual, there is a danger of subject matter being ‘old news’ by the time it finds its way into print.

I sincerely hope this is not the case with this week’s blurb which was submitted last Friday. It concerns the never ending onslaught of pressure on Mr Cummings to resign or be sacked from the Conservative party. To me the whole unrelenting blitz of left wing media hounding, and indeed the criticism from dissenters in his own party, seemed utterly disproportionate to the actual ‘crime’ he is supposed to have committed; particularly in the light of even more serious accusations being aimed at other political figures, including chip off the old block, Steven Kinnock, Robert Jenrick and that awful SNP

BREXIT: Remainers want to obtain a two-year extension of the transition period. whinger Ian Blackford, who allegedly drove 600 miles from London to Skye some three days after lockdown was declared.

So why are the media not chomping after these other lockdown breachers in anything like the relentless fashion they have pursued Mr Cummings? Well, surprise surprise after I dug a little deeper, a word popped up that most of us would

like to consider lost in the mists of time.

Yep you’ve guessed it - Brexit! It appears that while both Mr Cummings and Mr Johnson, both leading Brexiteers, were incapacitated with the Corona virus, a number of diehard remainers decided to use this uncertain period to devise a way to obtain a two-year extension of the transition period - due to be decided next month. Although the whole devious,

left wing media assisted plot, is far too complicated for these few lines, it basically meant that if Mr Cummings could be got rid of and the ‘remain’ supporting conservative MPs win a vote of no confidence against Mr Johnson, the chances of getting a two-year extension in June would be greatly enhanced.

This would mean the UK would be bound by its obligations and EU international agreements for a further two years, and who knows? Over this period the undemocratic and bitter loser camp would have all that time to work on reversing the Brexit decision. Can you imagine the horror of that!? Thankfully, at the time of writing, they have not, even with the relentless badgering of their media pals, managed to oust Mr Cummings.

In the light of this failure, rebel conservative remainers have stepped away from the vote of no confidence idea, knowing too well that should it have failed, their political careers would be over. I dunno, who in their right mind would truly want to become a politician?

The Importance of being Resident in Spain CONSULAR MATTERS ONE of things that you hear mentioned in Spain is the word Residencia and Residency. A large number of foreign citizens during the Coronavirus crisis in Spain have found themselves stranded in their home country due to the fact that they did not have re s i d e n c y i n S p a i n , b u t what does it mean to be legally resident in Spain?

As Danish Consul for Andalucia and Extremadura and as a lawyer I have received numerous messages from Danish citizens who wanted to retur n to Spain where they have lived for a number of years.

Sadly this was not permitted by the Spanish government as they did not have residency and were there-

RESIDENCY: Make sure you seek legal advice. fore not allowed to enter Spain at the moment. This is in case even if they were on the padron, had an NIE number or had paid for example property taxes here in Spain.

This is the same for other citizens from for example the United Kingdom, and indeed all over the world.

In Spain it is law that if you spend more than 183 days in

any year you are resident and you have to pay taxes in Spain. For citizens of the United Kingdom this is something of extreme importance as the UK is in a transition period and will leave the European Union on 31.12.20.

At the time of writing no deal has been done between the EU and the UK and this means that UK citi-

zens who are not resident will be limited to stays of 90 days in a 180-day period. They will also need health insurance as the current system of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will come to an end. Of course there may be a deal, but after 30 years as a lawyer I know not to speculate.

So what can be done?

Well wherever you are from, if you are living here in Spain you need to get your residency, and for UK citizens you need to be living here in Spain before 31.12.20.

The Spanish government has extended the deadline to apply for residencia until June 2021 but as I said you need to be living here before the end of 2020.

You will also need to take advice from a lawyer or someone suitably qualified re your tax situation and your Will, as if you are resident you can choose which law applies in the event of your death.

Make sure that you take advice re taxes as depending on your particular circumstances one country may be better than another.

THE IMPACT O

Luciano Novis, Costa del Sol

Luciano lives in El Hornillo, “in my case, the impact has been positive, more family time, my wife and I have spent a lot of time playing and enjoying our baby son, I don’t normally see him this much as I work in a music shop every day.

I have also dedicated my time to continue learning sound editing, video editing, and have worked on my techniques and skills on bass guitar. I have enjoyed spending more time with my dogs in the campo and it has even given me the time to learn how to cook pizzas at home!”

He is the manager of the Dirty and Happy Dog Centre situated between Quesada and Los Montesinos.

The facility was totally closed during the lockdown and that brought bad and good news for him.

“We had to stop helping all of the dog owners for two months, and I was on my own on the site, as I had to let two of my colleagues go during the crisis,” said Alex.

“On the plus side, the spare time allowed me to set up a whole new set of kennels which once we get a licence through, will give us the

“During the lockdown I just stayed at home, and got friends to drop off my shopping outside

the main door of our apartment building.

“I wasn’t lonely as I got to FaceTime my children and grandchildren every day, but I continue to be really scared of catching the coronavirus as I’m in my senior years,” Joyce added.

“I now go shopping, but can’t wait to get back home every time, as I think that the virus will not go away soon.”

Ian Grummet, Mallorca

“It hasn’t been easy during the lockdown,” admitted Mallorca resident Ian Grummet.

“Not being able to see people and homeschooling the kids has proved to be a challenge, but thankfully I have still been able to get out and about and work.

“It’s been much harder for the children staying indoors for such a long time.

“Now we are just happy and grateful to be able to see our friends and visit the beaches again.”

Phillipa Topi

Alex Bacche, Costa Blanca South

Michelle Johnstone, Costa del Sol Michelle and her husband Tony own the ‘Ace of Shades’ which provide shades, blinds and awnings.

“We reopened at Phase 1 and up until then, our business had dropped.

However, with the extra time I managed to get some confirmation on radio shows I will be working on, that are based in the UK.” Michelle pointed out what the lockdown has done for her community as she lives in a small area where there are only eight houses.

“Community spirit has been pulling together, if somebody is going to the shop they get bits for the neighbours. I have been making calls to the vulnerable, just to give them somebody to talk to if they are lonely.

“As people will be stuck in Spain they will need shades and mosquito nets, so business is picking up again.”

chance to offer boarding facilities.”

Coming out of lockdown has seen some normality return as Alex explains: “We’ve resumed our dog training classes, though we can only have limited numbers, but at least now we are back in business.”

John Fenton, Costa Blanca North John, a local builder, was completely honest and said the hardest part has been losing the social side of life.

“Not being able to go to the pub was defnitely hard. It’s a routine of mine really, finish work and pop into my local for a pint.

“It’s not just about drinking, you catch up with everyone.

For loads of people, the pub is the social hub and might be the only time they talk to anyone. I’m lucky, I’m not on my own. I feel for people who live alone, they must have felt very isolated during lockdown.

“Not being able to work was difficult for obvious reasons, and being self-employed, I didn’t earn anything. Big incentive to get back to work.”

Graham Jones, Costa Blanca South

Graham Jones spends most of the year living in Surrey in the UK, and so has had his stay extended in his holiday home in Torrevieja, since he arrived at the end of February.

“The biggest problem during the crisis has been rearranging flights to return back home and then seeing them cancelled,” said Graham, “Last month I reached the view that I was safer here than anywhere else, and if I have to stay longer, then I’m not bothered any more, especially as everything is reopening.”

Like with many single people, loneliness was an issue for Graham during the lockdown.

“I like my own company, but two months of it was taking it a bit far,” he chortled.

n, Torre Del Mar, Axarquia “The Coronavirus crisis has impacted my life in so many ways but I refuse to live in fear of something that nobody has definitive details of. I am lucky enough that my business is in online sales so I have been able to continue earning and sticking to a day-to-day regime. A family friend from back home in Scotland sadly passed away but they had had underlying health issues and been ill for a while.”

Phillipa went on to say that “I do feel positive for what is to come, I feel safer outside now and go to my usual places without major disruption, it’s a learning curve and luckily it seems to be on the up and in hand now.”

Leon Butlin, Costa Blanca South Leon Butlin lives with his partner Maria and their son Leonardo in Los Montesinos, and he says that a very positive aspect of the pandemic lockdown was that he was able to enjoy a lot more quality time with them.

“I was involved in some home schooling and it was really good to be with my family,” Leon said.

“It was all very much a personal upside to what’s happened over the last few months, and we almost treated it like a very long Christmas holiday.”

Leon runs a hair salon and the negative aspect of the

lockdown was clear to him: “It was missing out on seeing people who are my friends, but the return to normal has been very good as my appointment book is full!”

Suzi said: “We have been quite lucky in that respect, being able to work for much of the lockdown, taking all the necessary precautions, obviously.

“The biggest challenge for us has been keeping our three children occupied. They are aged eight to 16 and have had to do their homework, which they haven’t wanted to do, so it’s been a case of bribing them to get it done and then we can do fun things, quizzes, making cakes, that sort of thing.

“Having a bit more freedom has helped, I’ve not been going to bars, but being able to go for walks and to the shops, that feeling of a bit of normality, helps keep things in perspective.”

Jean Stephenson, 72, Costa Blanca North Jean lives alone and said the biggest challenge was dealing with not seeing her family.

“It’s been really hard not seeing my daughters and sons, I have found that really, really difficult. I normally see one of them every few weeks and it doesn’t help not knowing exactly when I’ll see them again. “ T h e r e ’ s been lots of phone calls, we’ve stayed

in touch every day almost, but it’s not the same.

“And I don’t have a computer, or social media, so talking on the phone is the only way to know how everyone is.

“It’s funny how quickly you can get into a new routine though, I’ve been keeping busy decluttering and gardening during lockdown, and have now started venturing out a bit more, only to the shops really at the moment.”

Jonny Moreno from Las Lagunas, Costa del Sol “The crisis has caused me to lose my job and my security. My family own a churreria which had closed down so my father’s income was limited.

“Most importantly I have found it hard to see so many people die in the middle of the 21st century by a ‘flu’ and the worst thing is that knowing the situation, the governments of many countries did not take the necessary precautionary measures to inform and make decisions at the time.”

Although Jonny has been put in a difficult situation he is hopeful for the future.

“As the lockdown is easing off it is giving me a chance to start applying for jobs again, in the meantime

I can help my dad with his business as they have luckily been able to reopen and it is rewarding helping my family with their livelihood.”

MIKE SENKER Views of a Grumpy Old Man

LAMBE-MURPHY

DIOR: Her presence was noticed. take photos. There was only one thing for it - I made a dash for the stylish doors of Brown Thomas. The Grande Dame of fashionable Dublin, selling Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and such necessities, it felt the perfect place for a girl named Dior.

In air-conditioned bliss, elegant shoppers stared, with a mix of awe and disbelief, as a security guard walked us through, and out a side door. With Dior almost strutting, we stopped briefly at Louis Vuitton, to look at sunglasses. Soon after, the magazine was published, and met with applause, mainly by fans of beautiful Dior. I guess it’s true what they say, a dog makes a home.

As the last week rolled on, I thought about the importance of print publications. Over half my life has involved them, and each month I look forward to my delivery of must read magazines. Call me old fashioned, but I just don’t find the same pleasure with online. To escape with a magazine is something I treasure. I travel a lot (or used to), and my favourite part of the journey, is having time to catch up on some escapism without interruption.

So, realising it’s an honour to be asked, I think I’ll say yes to the magazine request. However, not until after the summer. From experience, heat and photo-shoots don’t mix well. This time I have no need to borrow a dog, as I get a strong feeling my Jack Russell, Henry, would be more than happy to take this leading role. That said, please excuse me as I’m heading to the pool with Vanity Fair, and a cold Aperol Spritz. When you’re at the store, pick up a magazine and treat yourself to some you time. For me, it’s important that we keep so many creative people, well, creative. And for me, it will always be print, over App.

I was taught by the best in the market IN MY OPINION

GAVIN I WAS contacted recently by a magazine, asking if I’d consider doing an ‘At Home’ feature, for an upcoming issue. In the past, I was pretty social, with my antics appearing in various magazines and newspaper columns.

Let’s say, I was young and enthusiastic. Lately, I tend to enjoy a more private life. So, even though the girl from the publication was extremely sweet, and almost convincing, I had to say I’d think about it.

The idea took me by surprise. With current social distancing rules, how could we possibly do the photoshoot? Aren’t we still in lockdown? Is the idea of this feature considered ‘essential’? Over the years, I’ve been asked to do similar interviews, for newspapers, TV, and magazines, so I know the level of work required.

One that stands out, is a fun shoot for Social & Personal magazine. An Irish lifestyle bible, that’s a firm favourite with those who live a fashionable existence. When they asked, it was a no brainer. Apart from being a much respected publication, I also have a long affiliation with it, as at one point, I was the Social Editor.

My home at the time in Dublin, was a fantastic mews house, just off Fitzwilliam Square. A place suited to hosting parties, and over the years, featured in a number of interior design publications. Anyhow, on the morning of the shoot, I decided that in order to make things per fect, a dog was required. A friend offered to loan me their one-year-old Dalmatian, Dior. A hyperactive beauty, much like most people I know, she bounded up the stairs and straight onto my, just arranged, silk sofa.

Her presence was noticed by the magazine stylist. I can still recall his facial expression, as cushions went to the floor. While the photographer attempted to capture beautiful photos, Dior became a diva. Clambering over tables, knocking picture frames and such, it was difficult to calm her.

Short of hopping in the bath, she really was the star. A few hours later, I was exhausted from it all. Due to reunite pooch and owner, at a chic, Italian restaurant, I chose to walk the distance. Approaching bustling Grafton street, I noticed my companion getting nervous. Meanwhile, I was stressed, as people stopped us to

4 - 10 June 2020

WELL as a few of you enjoyed my little story last week and everyone else is still writing about Boris, Donny, round trips to Durham to have your eyes tested and the virus, I’ve decided to tell you another story.

In the late 60’s and early 70’s when I was just a young whippersnapper I was travelling the UK auctioneering and demonstrating in markets, local Ideal Home exhibitions and fairgrounds.

The type of goods I sold were the type that the trader made look like they were the most brilliant things ever, but when you got them home you couldn’t quite get them to work in the same way.

I sold and demonstrated so many different things - non-stick frying pans (they slip, they slide, they virtually glide), knives so sharp you could saw through a tin can, then with the same knife slice a piece of bread so thin you could see daylight through it. A chopping machine for making chips and perfect salads and

everything inbetween. There was allegedly a Blackpool landlady who, with this machine, could slice a cucumber so thin she could make it last a whole summer season. I even sold ladies tights that supposedly wouldn’t ladder.

All these things were made to look so easy because we practised for hours to make it look easy. One of my favourites was a carpet cleaning kit that actually was just a stick with a piece of plastic on the end with two rollers and two brushes and, of course, a ‘magic’ shampoo that could clean any stain out of any carpet.

But the secret was in our preparation.

The shampoo was just a very pure teepol diluted with a lot of water. We used sample carpet squares to show how great the kit was, but what nobody knew was they were soaked in shampoo overnight and left to dry. The ‘black shoe polish’ that was rubbed in was, in fact, a black washable dye soaked into a shampoo soaked sponge.

I bet some of you even remember the famous ‘Reem Kleen’ Crumb Brush Table Sweeper. All of this was a fantastic introduction to the world of selling and I was taught by the best in the markets.

More next week or back to being grumpy - let me know which you prefer.

THERE is nothing more refreshing to the soul than a long walk along the Mediteranean shore.

Wa t c h i n g t h e s u n p e e r above the horizon before it jumps out and shouts ‘ta da’ at the world.

It is a most welcome panacea to the many hurts we face in our daily lives.

Nature as Sudocrem, soothing and healing. So my daily walk has evolved into something more than simple exercise and fresh air.

It is an opportunity for me to set up a COBRA meeting within my head and to plan and plot like a demented Walsingham on crack cocaine. Oh you would not believe the machinations, the Machivellian devices I have mulled and dismissed before arriving at a more realistic and humane solution to whatever worry

SUZANNE MANNERS

plagued me in the night.

Gone the thoughts of summary executions or exile and creeping stealthily in through the window enter rationality and reasonableness dreaded twins of common sense. Human beings need to rant and rave (my favourite twins). It is our way of making sense of difficult emotions and of opening the safety valve so that we do not implode.

For a safe detonation trustworthy friends and family are essential as they will be the ones to listen and then to offer up the common sense twins so that we limit any damage caused by an impetuous declaration or resignation. You should always let the ranter rant themselves out before any interventions take place. The age old advice of ‘walking it off’ has basis in fact.

I happily watch as the early exercise junkies windmill about thrusting ar ms and legs into the air, squat-

THE MED: Is getting ready for the summer onslaught. ting and puffing their way as they burrow like crabs into the sand. Runners check FitBits while ar ms,legs and backpacks flail and the moonstruck gaze mournfully out sur fing the waves until they are further away than the astronauts riding The Dragon.

In the past week the fisher men have reappeared, buoys have been stretched across the water in readiness for the summer onslaught. It is like a great beast awakening… and it is glorious. Since March 14 we have lived inside, bereft of nature and the nor mality

and beauty or ordinary life… and tentatively we are emerging from our isolation ready to fall into the arms of the world (at a two-metre distance of course).

My hope is that we remember always what we have done; sheltering from the storm in order to protect those we love and those we do not even know. My hope is that society does remember and becomes kinder and once again in tune with the ebb and flow of tides, the changes of season and the beauty of the natural world. Not many of us will have missed the dirty metro or the crowded shopping centre or polluted city.

I end this paean to the Mediterranean with a quote from my favourite poet, EE Cummings.

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me) “It’s always ourselves we find in the sea.”

Toodle pip everyone and enjoy Phase 2.

Do you suffer from Fogo?

BEEN in lockdown too long, hardly seen anyone in that time?

Maybe you’ve got FOGO (fear of going out), an increasing social and mental anxiety based as much on fear of raising the R rate above one as on just not really knowing how to be around other people, trusting them, any more.

As regards the UK, maybe the ‘Stay at Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives' lockdown message mantra was ‘too successful’ and left people scared to go out? For some time, class British WhatsApp groups have been at loggerheads whether or not children should go back to school as early as June - some parents still determined to keep them at home. Like those still fortunate to have jobs, they’re worried that reopening too fast and too soon might lead to a second wave of infection.

These are the ones puzzled by those demanding an end to precautions when they fear that the virus is still there, there’s no available treatment, cure or vaccine as yet to

CORONAVIRUS: There’s still no available cure or vaccine.

make anyone safe.

The virus is still poorly understood, they feel, and nobody knows for sure how it will develop, whether antibodies might protect if someone’s had it and, if so, for how long.

They’re concerned nothing’s actu-

ally changed, apart from people’s intolerance of lockdown restrictions, and wherever precautions are dropped, the situation will return to the status quo with more infections.

Behind the continuing uncertainty

there is lurking, they suspect, a very real problem that will manifest itself during the coming weeks.

The whole world may find itself dividing into the isolators and the ‘couldn’t care less’ folk with a great deal of tension between the two groups. Add to the mix governments and media who either intentionally or unintentionally issue contradictory guidance and commentary and you have a volatile brew.

Is it FOGO or is it really HONGO (happiness of not going out)? Or maybe it should just be FOG - fear of government (making rules and f l o u t i n g t h e m . Ye s , D o m i n i c , I ’ m looking at you!).

OUR anti drink driving campaign Zero Hero is backed by Spain’s most prominent road traffic safety foundation, Linea Directa. This foundation only came into being from the necessity to educate people on road traffic safety, to create awareness, more social responsibility and reduce the percentage of accidents and deaths.

Linea Directa take their role very seriously “We are a socially responsible company committed to improving road safety in Spain, reducing the number of traffic accidents, protecting the environment, promoting education, social care and household safety, as well as a number of other projects.”

Having worked personally in road traffic safety issues for over 20 years, firstly to instigate the use of baby car seats in Spain back in the 90’s, followed by the use of seat belts during preg-

MARBELLA MOMENTS

nancy together with the DGT, Midwifes and Gynaecologist associations. Now, knowing what I know, how can I not actively encourage safer driving habits in Marbella and help to reduce the number of road accidents as well as actively promoting road safety measures.

Knowing the statistics one can’t pretend it doesn’t matter.

It always matters, even when you don’t know the person.

However, when you do, it’s devastating, particularly if nothing is being done about it. Which is why I continue to push the issue.

With this in mind and with the help of Linea Direct the cost to drivers to comply with the rules has become significantly reduced with the introduction of a policy feature initiated as a result of Marbella Now and our United Nationalities of Marbella Summits, which offers a free taxi service up to four times a month to take the

ZERO HERO: Promoting safety on our roads for everyone. insured person and their car, or motorbike, back home after an evening out, at no extra charge.

The idea of Zero Hero is again to promote higher safety on our roads and this is for everyone, whether you’re insured with Linea Directa or not. Participating restaurants, bars and hotels are

now rewarding the designated driver with free soft drinks at the participating establishments, which can be checked with disposable breathalyser tests upon leaving (supplied by MarbellaNow TV and the Linea Directa Foundation).

We want to help you look after each other, to nominate

and encourage your friends to be a Zero Hero. There are now many establishments who are in support of the Marbella Now Zero Hero incentive, some of which have also been fundamental in keeping our city fed and cared for during the lockdown. These are the places we should make priority when spending out and about.

We’ve just experienced first hand the importance of residents supporting each other; we’ve all needed to rely on others or help others over the past few months just to get by. Those who went out of their way to support the community need to be rewarded with our spending and supporting them. It’s our time to give back and by going and supporting their business, we can let them know that we know and that we’re grateful.

DIONE LOCKYER

Get Out Of Your Own Way It’s Time to Take Responsibility

I AM not one of those mentors who tells you your life will be perfect and full of roses, I don’t stroke your ego and tell you how wonderful you are on a daily basis. What’s the point in that? Does it help you overcome your negative mind-set? No! It actually enhances it. If you want sympathy, im not the girl for you. I empathise, I support, I care but I also kick your a*se and teach you how to overcome your current thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Let’s take the current situation we are all in at the moment. Lockdown can be hard for some and I totally get it. You’re lead by fear, by uncertainty and you don’t know what to do. That is fine.

None has ever experienced this before therefore, our thoughts can become erratic. We create scenarios in our mind that you convince yourself to be true.

But ask yourself; Is this how you want to stay? Do you want to live the rest of your life in fear? Do you want to feel anxious about stepping outside of your

front door? Do you want to feel anger when you read the latest update? I’m pretty certain that the answer is no!

So what will you do?

Some people love to live on Negative Street. They thrive on other people’s sympathy and have no interest in change. They’re offered help, but decline it each time. If that’s you, that’s fine. If that is how you choose to live, that is entirely up to you, but please be prepared that people in your circle will outgrow you.

There are others who live with a negative mind-set and are unsure how to get out of it. I hear you! I too was little miss negative pants.

I knew I needed help but was ashamed to ask. I felt it meant i was admitting to failure. I was wrong and if you are feeling like that, you are wrong too! Asking for help shows strength and courage. It’s telling you that you want to live a better life, you want to feel at peace and be happy, but you have to get out of your own way, take responsi-

COURSE: Start living a positive life.

bility for your actions and physically take that step.

You can’t tell yourself you need help and then do nothing about it. You can’t convince yourself you’ll do it tomorrow because tomorrow never comes. If not now, when? That’s what i tell people who initially contact me and say I will do it soon or maybe next week.

If you’re not willing to change, nothing will change. You will blink and all of a sudden you’re in your 80s, looking back and saying to yourself I wished I had taken action. Is this how you want to remember your life? Do you want to have regrets? Do you want to feel disappointed with your actions? Or do you want the chance to set yourself free?

I will be doing a free, four- day set yourself free course and will give you the tools to start living a positive life with a positive mind-set. If you would like to join in, you can either email coachingwith dione@gmail.com or contact me via Facebook.

If you would like to dig a little deeper into your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours or you would like to complete one of my courses to live a happy and healthy life with yourself, please email me coachingwithdione@gmail.com.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK Ryanair Refund Row - UK Government asked to step in as thousands of passengers are still waiting for money to be returned

DEAR Euro Weekly News, I can’t help but ask how on earth can Leapy back the Prime Minister. He has changed ‘the goalposts’ to fit in with Dominic Cummings’ actions. I read the open letter from the lady whose 14-year-old son died. No comparison to Cummings’ ‘do as he thought fit,’ with total disregard for the UK citizens. I have totally lost faith in the UK government. Both Boris and Cummings should go.

Moira Masson

OUR VIEW Technology over humanity

ON Monday, May 25, police officers in Minnesota received a call to attend a ‘forgery in progress’ after a 46year-old black man, George Floyd, allegedly tried to purchase goods in a shop using a counterfeit $20 note.

Upon arrival at the scene, the officers ordered Floyd out of his vehicle and cuffed him. Then he was pinned to the ground and surrounded by four officers, one of whom forced his knee into the back of Floyd’s neck.

The officer’s statement said that Floyd had “physically resisted officers,” but many witnesses dispute this claim.

Footage of Floyd’s detainment has already gone viral as they were streamed on Facebook Live by bystander Darnella Frazier. The video shows Floyd groaning and repeatedly struggling to say “I can’t breathe” to Derek Chauvin, the officer with his knee on Floyd’s neck.

Floyd can be heard telling Chauvin: “I’m about to die. I can’t breathe. Please, the knee in my neck, I can’t breathe.”

As the crowds plead with the officers to let him up as he is not resisting arrest, he eventually falls silent and stops moving, however, Chauvin defiantly does not remove his knee until the emergency services arrive.

Floyd was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. A police statement states that he appeared to be in ‘medical distress,’ it did not mention that he had been pinned to the ground with the weight of a police officer crushing his airway.

I am sure for a lot of people this brings to mind the case of Rodney King, who on March 3, 1991, was violently beaten by LAPD officers during an arrest for leaving the scene of an alleged crime and resisting arrest.

These ‘attacks’ are separated by almost 30 years. Has mankind not evolved in the last 30 years?

What have we been doing with our time? Have our heads been stuck behind laptops, phones and social media as technology advances, but our own minds, actions and beliefs do not?

The four officers involved in Floyd’s killing have all been dismissed. Chauvin has since been charged with his murder.

I suppose it was lucky there was somebody there with a mobile phone to record it for social media.

CORRECTIONS

So many thousands of people had their flights cancelled due to Covid-19 it’s obviously not an overnight task to process the refunds, but Ryanair haven’t done themselves any favours and have exacerbated the situation by issuing vouchers in lieu of a refund when a simple email stating refunds will be issued ASAP would have calmed this very emotive issue.

Mask it, or casket? Your choice? - Euro Weekly News Spain Julie Frank News Article BORIS: Should go.

Community hero DEAR Euro Weekly News, Bravo, may I just say that your Community Hero competition idea was fantastic. Both recognising and rewarding those people was a brilliant gesture. It is times like these that people need that boost and to know they are doing well. So well done.

I would also have voted for Fina, she is an amazing, amazing woman. She is so kind and caring and to have treated her will make her so happy.

Thank you for making her happier. Although she will probably take no credit, she definitely deserves it.

Well done to the others too, I can’t believe this daft virus has brought so many caring people out of the woodwork and what better platform to announce it in than the one that has provided news and entertainment throughout this time. My favourite Euro Weekly News.

Jez Harrison Granada

Figure it out Dear Euro Weekly News, Does anybody have a clue as to what on earth has happened with the Spanish Coronavirus figures?

One day it was 56 deaths in a day and then all of a sudden it’s 35 within a week.

Also, there was some miscount or misinformat i o n i n v o l v i n g a d i ff e re n c e o f 2 , 0 0 0 d e a t h s . . .

2,000!!

How can we put our trust in these guys if they cannot even give us the right information? By doing this it will only goad the conspiracy theorists into getting on board.

I understand the French are at it too and each of their papers reports a different figure. Who can we turn to for this information, it is creating panic when all we want is reassurance.

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

Readers who have missed correspondence can see all letters - which can be edited before publication - posted on: www.euroweeklynews.com.

I personally think it is good advice. People in the UK are saying that the government didn’t do enough, although some people in the UK carried on without masks and then they blame the government for the high number of deaths. Now nobody seems to be wearing them.

British Expats on Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca say they would rather stay at home than move to Phase 2 of the lockdown!

I agree with them, it is too early to predict the demise of such a huge catastrophe as Covid. We live quite near to some beautiful beaches, but we can catch the sun in our garden just as easily and without any worries. I urge everyone not to be complacent too soon. xx

TIME OUT Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A rather slow start to the week leads you to feel bored but be assured that the weekend will be far from dull. A recent conversation or correspondence with an old friend leads to unexpected contact.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Everything on the home front is emphasised and there will be a flurry of activity. Get others involved in any changes. Work in the garden or painting is much more enjoyable and half the work if you enlist the help of someone you get on well with.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) When discussing a holiday with others, be aware that agreement is not always easily met. Although you are not inclined to compromise, it is necessary to go with the majority decision.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After the 2nd it is much easier to see the path ahead. This is particularly true of a financial situation, so there's no sense in fussing until you understand what needs to be done.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Your attention is needed on more than one front, and some decisions are at odds with your personal thoughts and attitudes. Being reminded that ‘business is business’ does nothing to relieve your conscience. You may have to upset someone by telling the truth, which may affect your longer-term finances.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Are you willing to take a risk on someone who has let you down before? Looking into their recent past is likely to tip the balance.

What you find shows clearly if there has been a change of heart on their part or if they are trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) A disagreement with a friend upsets you but is short-lived.

To avoid such a situation in the future, look at how you

should have dealt with it.

There is always something to know that guides us to a better position. It will make you smile someone has taken you for a fool as you have the last laugh.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A great feeling of joy comes over you more than once in the week ahead. Your inner child has been set free, and this is likely to be because of recent restrictions, which are now lifted.

Do not feel guilty about this because it is a choice that will serve you well in the future.

Right now, things may seem like a bit of an effort for small reward.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) ITravel arrangements may have to be changed at the last minute. Do not fret, however, because success is more likely later in the month. During a dream, or when reading a book, an idea comes to you.

Can this really make a difference to your future? You may need to act quickly to start a new project but progress will require patience.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close.

Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved.

Pushing ahead does not guarantee results.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) It is difficult to avoid repeating mistakes made in the past. Your approach to certain situations has not changed and therein lies the problem. Someone who blames you for a mistake shows ignorance but that does not make it less upsetting.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Who is trying to push you into a corner? Maybe it is being done so subtly that you have not even noticed. Who wants a decision from you? Appear to take pressure lightly and not give in to an irritation.

FROM the team behind the bestselling The Hug, a heart-warming picture book that shows us ways to be affectionate while social distancing.

Hedgehog and Tortoise were the best of friends.

They wanted to give each other a great, big hug. But they weren’t allowed to touch.

“Don’t worry,” said Owl. “There are lots of ways to show someone you love them.”

So the two friends wave to each other, blow kisses, sing songs, dance around and write letters.

And even though they can’t hug and they can’t touch, they both know that they are loved.

A gorgeous, uplifting, inspiring picture book that makes social distancing fun!

…..But you don’t look ill, you look fine to me!! (self-harm trigger warning)

MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED HOW many times have we heard the words “But you don’t look like someone with a mental illness” … “ Gosh I didn’t know you were Bipolar” ... “What have you got to be depressed for, your life is great!”

“Oh sh*t, sorry. I forgot my pink neon mental illness sign at home today, I will make sure to wear it tomorrow!” (little bit of sarcasm to lighten the mood up) Why is it that to be taken seriously, to be listened to people think that you need to look ill?

Sometimes a mental illnesses can show physically, of course, like the appearance of somebody struggling with eating disorders or scars made through selfharm. But so much of the time there is nothing physically wrong to see, and you would never know!

We have a special super power to hide behind a smile or a laugh, to carry on as normal in front of people and to take the mask off when we are alone.

As someone who has self-harmed on and off since the age of 13 years old and now fast approaching 29 - my body is covered in the giveaway marks that cannot be mistaken for anything other than self-harm.

But yes, I still feel the need to lie sometimes when someone asks ... “What happened to your arm?” …. “Oh I scratched it whilst gardening at the weekend!”...

I have had my fair share of stares, and looks of horror, fear and disgust. The thing about my self-harm though, is not punishment, I don’t feel the need to punish myself, for me it’s a form of release.

When you are in such a dark place and you feel numb, to inflict pain is a way of feeling alive and feeling SOME-

THING! It does become highly addictive, once you start it is very hard to stop.

It will be nine months this week since I last self-harmed, the thought of it creeps up on me every time I have a slip, but I find distraction straight away and try to fight the urge to inflict physical pain on myself but all of my scars from over the years are still there… still visible… so, to have them pointed out to me, is yet another reminder of the struggle I have to live with every day!

Then ignorance sets in. I also struggle with depression, and regular suicidal thoughts, as well as having crippling anxiety (as if all the rest wasn't enough!).

If any of this is mentioned, people will look me up and down, with puzzled expressions on their faces, before announcing, “well, I would have never of known, you carry it so well.”

But what they fail to understand is that to be ill, you don’t need to look sick.

I believe that there is such a risk nowadays that any type of mental illness will not be taken seriously, due to the misconception that people who look okay are okay, and I really hope that people begin to realise that saying to somebody who is ill that they “look fine” or “You’ve got it all, just cheer up” can demean that person and their illness, and prevent them from seeking the help that they need.

I also wanted to show anyone who may be struggling that they should not feel as though they do not deserve to be listened to because they aren’t “ill enough” or “look ill.”

I really hope that this article encourages people to ask for help as early as possible, and that they will reach out to others so they do not have to suffer alone. I also hope that others reading this will look at the person next to them and just BE KIND, because we never know what someone may be going through!

Take manageable bites

WORKING from home can be tough, so how can you keep motivated?

If you keep putting things off then the ‘Eat the frog’ method might be for you. This productivity method came from a quote by Mark T wain: ‘Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.’

In other words, sched-

ule tasks from hardest to easiest and everything else will seem so much easier.

If you are more visual, divide your tasks into categories: To Do, Doing, and Done. Arrange them in a visual way; like post-its on a white board and make sure you check it regularly and remove when complete.

If you’re trying to create achievable goals,

you could try the timeboxing method which allots specific time slots for specific work in your daily plan.

Split up your day into blocks of time with specific tasks; like dedicating a block to answering emails instead of interrupting yourself while you’re in the middle of writing a proposal because your sister called.

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Great at absorbing toxins, stains and bacteria.

CHARCOAL toothpaste is all the rage for tooth whitening. It is a natural solution for brighter, whiter teeth... but does it actually help?

The type of charcoal you find in toothpaste is made of natural materials like wood and coconut shells that are oxidised under extreme heat to make activated charcoal. The process causes it to become more porous and in this state, it is great at absorbing toxins, stains and bacteria.

Brushing with activated charcoal aids with halitosis by absorbing the bacteria that causes it. It’s gritty, like baking soda, so it can also be used

to buff the surfaces of your teeth, literally polishing them.

As charcoal is abrasive it could wear down the enamel, so don’t use it every session without talking to a dentist. Also, make sure to use very fine charcoal. Activated charcoal can remove surface stains, which means if you have a coffee addiction, this might work wonders.

Things like wine or tea stains can be effectively removed with charcoal toothpaste. It won’t, however, have much of an effect on stains from smoking. You’ll need a professional whitener for that.

This week Celebrity Chef & Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks us breakfast Savoy Hotel style, with perfect scrambled eggs and smoked salmon

Scrambled eggs for The Queen Mother’s 80th Birthday

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

I REMEMBER my training days well at The Savoy in London where my first ever job there was to cook breakfast.

The chef in charge of breakfast was showing me how to make poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, how to cook the bacon so that it was crispy but not overcooked and how to remove the skins from the tomatoes before grilling them.

I never knew it was so complex and I was trying to take it all in! As luck would have it the Queen Mother was celebrating her 80th birthday in the Lancaster Suite at The Savoy the night before.

The Queen Mother was born on August 4, 1900 and I remember her 80th birthday day in 1980 well as it had been my brother Howard’s 21st birthday the day before which I was

unable to go to.

She was on the way down for breakfast, I was told. To say that I was nervous is an understatement, it was my first time cooking breakfast and my first client is the Queen Mother… no pressure!

On the menu we had a dish of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a little cheese. I had been taught to shred up the salmon and add it at the end into the scrambled eggs. I didn’t like this as it cooked the salmon, but I did as I was told.

The Queen Mother’s order came in and on it was scrambled eggs, along with poached eggs and also an English breakfast with black pudding. I did not want to mess it up.

Staying at the hotel at the same time was the comedian Dick Emery. He was on TV a lot in the 70’s in a show that involved Emery dressing up as various characters, ‘a flamboyant cast of comic grotesques.’

These included the bucktoothed Church of England vicar, a sex-starved man-eating spinster called Hetty and Clarence, an outrageously

CHEEKY BOY: Chef Steven in his Savoy days aged 18. camp man who had the catchphrase ‘Hello Honky Tonks.’ Other roles were many but also included a busty peroxide blonde whose catchphrase, ‘Ooh, you are awful ... but I like you!’

He was a hilarious character and I was a fan. He came into the kitchen to ask what the

Queen Mother was having for breakfast and I spoke with him at the kitchen’s pass. Anything she has I deserve, he said in a deep camp voice.

So now double pressure and I was thinking that if I screw it up, I will be famous for being a chef disaster and not for being a great chef!

I sent out the smoked salmon to the Queen Mother but I forgot to shred it up and add it into the eggs, I just put the scrambled eggs on the toast and topped it with a generous slice of smoked salmon. I then seasoned it with black pepper.

My sous chef came over and tore into me. I felt useless and that I had let everyone down. I was really upset with myself.

The next day I was told that Frank Sinatra might arrive in time for breakfast so be ready.

The order came on and he ordered the scrambled eggs but before I could mess it up the sous chef (a different man) came over and said, “we are now putting the smoked salmon on top of the eggs and not through it.” “Really?” I said, “I did that yesterday and got ripped apart for it.”

“Cheeky boy,” he replied “that was yesterday this is today, shut up and do as you are told.”

So, I did and when I went home that night I thought, yes… and I punched the skies!

The Savoy is actually learning from me! What a great feeling, although of course I would never get the credit.

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

Smoked salmon with perfect scrambled eggs Making anything perfect is easy when you know how. I have to say that there are some pretty awful scrambled eggs served up at breakfast time these days.

Often dry and rubbery and have you noticed the eggs at large events? They are often made using an egg powder and it is disgusting! Should be banned.

Ingredients (serves two) 4 free range or cor n fed large eggs 2 slices of wholemeal or granary bread A little unsalted butter for the toast 1 knob of unsalted butter about 50g 1 tablespoon of chopped chives 1 heaped tablespoon of grated cheddar or gruyere cheese 100g of good quality smoked Norwegian salmon ½ fresh lemon or lime

Maldon salt Freshly milled black pepper Method Toast the wholemeal bread and spread with a little butter.

Melt the knob of butter in a thick bottomed saucepan on a medium heat.

Now add the eggs but do not whisk.

Using a plastic or wooden spoon stir gently and slowly breaking the yolks away from the whites so that when cooked you see strands of egg white and yolk.

Remove from heat and cover with a lid for a few minutes.

Remove lid and stir and season well and taste.

Now add the grated cheese and the chives.

Serve onto the warm buttery toast.

Top with the smoked salmon and squeeze the lemon over.

Finally grind some black pepper on top of the salmon and serve.

Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, a Queen Mother favourite!

FRANKLY SPEAKING

BY JULIE FRANK

WHEN do disagreements turn from heated debates into abuse? It’s something I’ve given thought to after an odd experience.

I feel quite strongly about injustice to others. I am vocal and Quite Frankly, it sometimes gets me into trouble! If someone expresses an opinion that I find abhorrent, I find it extremely hard not to challenge it. I used to be involved with a few online anti-fascist groups, but I haven’t bothered with them for some time.

It goes back to the days of the BNP, who are now virtually obsolete. The likes of Tommy Robinson and Britain First had their social media platforms removed too, so it seems a little futile these days.

I always felt prejudice

‘Prejudice?’

was something that happened to other people and considered myself in a position of privilege.

Then I started writing for the newspaper.

A few weeks into lockdown, the editor suggested that I write about my condition - Asperger’s.

Something positive to read in difficult times, and for readers to get to know me. I had no problem with it because I’m an open person. I also thought it might help someone who’s struggling, like I once did.

Then it came, because of previous disagreements about politics, I think. It was only a handful of people online, but these are the types of things that were said after publication: “You wrote this for sympathy” and “go away and take your medication.” I pointed out that I don’t even take

GEORGE FLOYD: I hope lessons are learned from your death. medication. I was then told “you need to, you’re a loon” and “you’re not Autistic, you’re a Narcissist” followed by “you’ve not got Asperger’s because they’re clever and you’re stupid” and even “get over yourself and your Autism.” I was also

randomly called a “t**t” for writing about Autistic empathy, bizarre!

This is the first time it’s happened and it’s an eye opener. I talked about it with a friend and he said it’s Ableist abuse. Is it? I’ve never seen myself as a victim.

How do you define abuse?

If you’ve disagreed with someone strongly in the past - are the gates open for anything to be said back?

Even something you have absolutely no control over - like your race, gender, disability, sexual orientation etc?

Then something reminded of an incident with Leapy Lee about a year ago. We’re probably the complete opposites. He wrote an article that angered me and after a debate, I brought his age into it. Is that acceptable? He has control over his opinions, but not his age.

I’ve also mocked Tommy Robinson in the past, because he’s very small. Is that acceptable? Even though I find his bullying ways and bigotry repugnant? Probably not.

It’s made me think about how I’ve been guilty of prejudice myself. By mocking someone’s age or height.

When I had my Autism

FEATURE

questioned and mocked, my first thought was “my God, what if someone else with a condition is reading it’ll put them off being open.”

Well, the same goes for bringing a person’s height or age into a public debate - it could make others who are the same feel inferior. You’re dragging innocent peoples’ feelings into it. So, lessons have been learned!

Well, as I’m writing this news is coming in that another unarmed black man in America has died after a brutal arrest. My experience of prejudice, if it was that, seems to pale into insignificance now. Poor man.

People question why Black Lives Matter needs to exist too! As a society we still have a long way to go with acceptance.

RIP George Floyd. I hope lessons are learned from your death, especially from the man at the top - Trump, who has always seemed to excuse racism.

Julie Frank’s opinions are her own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.

JOHN

SHARPLES

I WAS never going to be anything but an entertainer. The stage beckoned me as a child and once I’d had a taste of it I was away! I come from a stagey family. My grandfather was what they call a television icon. His name was Bernard Youens and he played the part of Stan Ogden in Coronation Street for over 20 years.

It meant that we didn’t get to see a great deal of him because back in those days they had to learn all their lines as though it was being performed in a theatre. These days they have a read-through of the script and then record each part with lots of cuts so the learning process is much easier.

Why I am telling you all this?

Well, Grandad died back in 1984 but people still remember him with a lot of affection, so much so, that he is featured on the latest second class stamp in the UK.

That’s another fine mess you got me into Stanley

NEW STAMP: Excited about seeing it for the first time.

When I saw the news on the internet I was delighted. It is

such an honour to see his face, along with Jean Alexander (Hil-

da Ogden) on a stamp. My mother was delighted.

I had some postcards made up for her of the stamp so that she could send them to her friends and family.

It could have been a different story. When Coronation Street started, grandad was offered a different role in the show. He was given the part of landlady, Annie Walker’s husband, Jack, which he turned down because Corrie was originally only going to be a 13-part series. He was the TV announcer for Granada TV at the time. It was a well-paid and steady job and he had five kids to feed.

The show never came off the air and four years later they offered him the part of the lovable layabout Stan Ogden. If he had taken that first part in the show, he would never have been the Icon that he is and would never have been on that stamp all those years after he has passed on.

Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.

We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect.

GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS Ancient find VIOLENT protests have erupted in at least 20 US cities over the death of unarmed black man George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The former officer, seen in a video with his knee on Floyd’s neck, has now been charged with third-degree murder.

A tense stand-off between police and protesters at the CNN Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, ended after a window was smashed and a firework was thrown at officers inside the building.

Floyd’s death has deeply shaken Minneapolis and sparked protests in cities across the US. Local leaders have repeatedly urged demonstra-

Shockingly, it is understood that one of the primates was later spotted up a tree, chewing on one of the sample collection kits.

The Los Angeles Police Department has just declared an unlawful assembly in downtown Los Angeles due to “repeated acts of violence and property damage.”

Tiger King Joe Exotic JOSEPH ALLEN MALDONADOPASSAGE, better known as Joe Exotic was sentenced to 22 years in prison after being convicted of trying to hire someone to kill rival animal park owner Carole Baskin who accused him of cruelty.

The certainly eccentric Exotic shot to fame as the subject of a highly popular Netflix documentary Tiger King as well as appearing on UK TV in a special filmed by Louis Theroux.

He gifted the animal park to former business partner Jeff Lowe and his mother several years ago but now a judge has ruled that the transfer was improper and has confirmed that Baskin who is owed a significant some of money due

to Exotic’s copyright infringement may take the land over.

Lowe has been given 120 days to hand the land over to Baskin and to remove all of the animals from the site but as it was widely believed that for years the park had been facing financial difficulty, the eventual fate of the animals must be a moot point.

The only possible saving grace is that it has been announced that Nicholas Cage will play Exotic in a new scripted version of the documentary and it may be that there will be some financial benefit to help the animals.

In the meantime, supporters have been appealing to President Trump to grant a pardon to the Tiger King.

A PERFECTLY preserved ‘archeological treasure’ has been unearthed beneath vines near the city of Verona in Northern Italy.

The ancient Roman mosaic was discovered by archeologists in the hills above Negrar di Valpolicella after countless decades of failed attempts.

Almost a century previously, the remains of a Roman villa had been found in the area, but in 1922 the dig was abandoned.

Last summer, a team from the Superintendent of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Verona resumed the excavations.

After halting during the coronavirus pandemic, the digging began again last week and the discovery was made. Experts say the pristine mosaic floor could date to third century AD, believed to be the date of the remains of the villa on the site. The area is still being excavated to see the full extent of the find.

recent years, lockdown measures in the last two months have emboldened the monkeys.

Reports have previously emerged of the primates causing chaos in Delhi, snatching food and mobile telephones, breaking into homes and terrorising people in and around the Indian capital.

Symbolic Collosseum back open to the public ITALY'S famed Colosseum reopened its doors to the public on Monday along with several other cultural attractions in the country as Italy begins to return to normality post-coronavirus.

After three months of closure, visitors were finally able to enter the ancient amphitheatre in Rome again, albeit in small numbers and with strict safety measures.

Visitors to the Colosseum, one of Italy’s most famous cultural sites, were able to avoid long queues and were free from souvenir and

tickets touters.

New safety measures require visitors to pass in front of an electronic device upon entering that checks temperature and ensures the subject is wearing a mask.

Advanced booking is compulsory and there are two new tours planned that will run until June 30.

While Italian visitors are enjoying the crowd-free attractions, the lack of visitors spells disaster for Italy’s tourism sector, which amounts to 13 per cent of the country’s GDP.
