MASKS A MUST SO, it looks like we should get used to wearing face masks, as just as they are obligatory to wear in Spain during the current State of Alarm measures, they look to play a major part in the forthcoming ‘new normality.’

The Council of Ministers approved on Tuesday June 9 the decree of measures for the new normality. In principle, this period will last until there is a vaccine or an effective treatment against Covid19.

Face masks will be mandatory and fines for failing to comply will be up to €100. The communities must be prepared for another outbreak. However, there will be no movement restriction or limit of people who can meet.

Health Minister Salvador Illa has repeated that residents must “learn to live with the virus.” This new stage will begin when the State of Alarm ends on June 21.

The control of the Covid-19 will rest, in this

NEW STAGE: Face masks look to play a major part in the new normality. new normality, on prevention. “Individual responsibility will be key,” said Salvador Illa.

Hence rules stated by Illa live on TV such as the use of face masks when it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of 1.5 metres with other people in public or private places and the repetitive insistence to take care of

“hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette” in addition to “common sense,” which is regularly reiterated by the director of the Centro de Emergencias Sanitaria, Fernando Simón.

Even without restrictions on mobility, those responsible for public transport must take measures to avoid

crowds of passengers.

Operators will have to keep the passenger record for four weeks when they have an assigned seat for possible contagion traces.

In workplaces, it will have to be ensured that the distance between workers can be kept to 1.5 metres and accesses organised so that there

are no concentrations when entering or leaving.

Expats raise thousands EXPATS in Mojacar’s La Parata have raised thousands for the local Red Cross for their work supporting needy families particularly hard hit by the coronavirus crisis.

On June 5 the La Parata Mojacar fundraising team presented a cheque for €3,867 to Red Cross, Mojacar President Conchi and Vice-President Isobel, where they were joined by Mojacar Council head of Maintenance and Services Martin Montoya.

The funds came from sponsorships and donations generated from the ‘Briggsy & Claysy Show.’ The 30minute live Facebook broadcast from La Parata every morning over eight weeks during lockdown included a news slot.

The idea was the brainchild of Rob Briggs, ably supported by his partner Penny Clayton. Their dedication to lifting the spirits of people both near and far with song

Parata residents Roy and Sue Oxley organised a ‘Show Sponsorship Scheme,’ through which individuals could sponsor a daily show with proceeds being donated to charity.

The support was a resounding success with all further shows being sponsored. Along with Keith Holland, the team reached out further to people for donations. The response was amazing, as the final total raised confirms.

Support came from many La Parata residents, including 93-year-old Betty, whose ‘Hero Bears’ were

Phase 3

Forward to freedom

FROM Monday, some 25 million people moved into Phase 3 of Spain’s de-escalation from the State of Alarm.

The areas that advanced to Phase 3 are: Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country, La Rioja, Navarre, Aragon, Extremadura, Andalucia, Murcia, Balearic Islands and Canary Islands.

The autonomous communities have now been given the power to decide how long this period of de-escalation should last and when State of Alarm ends.

In Phase 3, restaurant and bar terraces, which were currently limited to 50 per cent of their capacity, will be able to open up to 75 per cent of capacity. The common areas of the shopping centres may reopen, although with a capacity limit.

Socially, in Phase 3 the capacity is increased in social celebrations such as weddings and funerals and there may be up to 150 guests in open spaces and 75 indoors. The wake may have up to 50 attendees outdoors and 25 indoors. And the churches, up to 75 per cent capacity.

Nightclubs can now open with a third of their capacity, except in Andalucia. However, there will be no dancing as social distancing measures will still apply.

Casinos and gambling halls can also open, with a maximum of 50 per cent of capacity.

At this point in time, only those living in Andalucia can travel between provinces.

Each autonomous community will also control measures around the reopening of beaches.

FIREFIGHTERS have once again been lending a hand on the efforts to disinfect the streets in the busiest areas of Adra.

The members of the Poniente fire service focused particularly on seafront promenades, areas around health centres and roads used by the greatest number of people.

They had already helped out on the Adra disinfections on a number of previous occasions.

Other collaborators on the efforts in the municipality have been volunteer farmers, the Legion, the UME Emergency Military Unit and personnel from the Andalucia In-

Beach clean up VOLUNTEERS spent a morning cleaning up a San de los Terreros beach to mark World Environment Day on June 5.

Pulpi mayor Juan Pedro Garcia and Tourism councillor Juan Batista Lopez were among those who joined in the Isla de Terreros Tourism Association-organised initiative on the Calataray beach.

Between them all they filled a skip with rubbish and debris in just three hours.

The local council posted a thank you to everyone who took part, commenting also on the satisfaction that “every day there are more of us with an awareness on the environment.”

Adra Council has been carrying out daily street cleans and disinfections since the State of Alarm came into force. The local authority said the works will be stepped up in the summer holiday months.

Lighting the way ILLUMINATED signs have been put up at pedestrian crossings at two of the points on the main road going into Cuevas del Almanzora to improve safety.

The council said the local residents had been calling for the crossings on the N-332 near the bus stop and at the crossroads at the entrance to the town centre to be lit up due to the hundreds of people who use them every day and the constant traffic on the road.

There are also the secondary school, a supermarket and a block of flats in the same area.

The local authority passed on the demand to the Junta de Andalucia, which has responsibility for the road.

PRIORITY: “The health of Almerians is more important than any celebration,” said Almeria mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco.

ALL of Almeria City’s fiestas have been called off this summer as a consequence of the coronavirus crisis.

“The health of Almerians is more important than any celebration,” said Almeria mayor Ramon Fernandez-Pacheco.

Fernandez-Pacheco said it had been a “complicated” decision because apart from the disappointment for residents, it also affected many sectors and collectives.

The mayor reassured the city’s residents that the administration is already working on the organisation of next year’s Virgen del Mar celebrations, but also on a programme of cultural events for this summer, adapted to health safety requirements and the “new reality.”

He explained there would be family-orientated activities which can be held in open spaces and with a control of the number of people, like small concerts or competitions.

Back where she belongs A TURTLE is back in her natural habitat on the Costa Almeria after several months recovering from swallowing plastic.

Members of the Equinac marine life rescue association assisted by the Guardia Civil Maritime Service released Teresa the loggerhead sea turtle back into the sea last week.

Equinac reported that Teresa had been treated at its Almerimar centre for a severe case of pneumonia as well as for ingesting a large amount of plastic materials.

The association said conditions were perfect on the day for reintroducing the turtle to the sea, which in Equinac’s care has doubled its body weight and made a full recovery.

PULPI Council has called on the Junta de Andalucia to make the giant geode and the mine which houses the geological marvel to be awarded natural monument status.

The request, which got the unanimous backing of the local authority, sets out the need to establish “rules and basis for the protection and correct use of the Pulpi geode, the Rica Mine and surroundings, with

Social Security fraud ALMERIA police have made four arrests and are investigating another 56 people after uncovering a Social Security fraud adding up to nearly €30,000.

Investigations focused on two companies, one in Almeria City and one in Nijar, which operated in the construction, agriculture and trade sectors.

Unemployment up ALMERIA was the only province in Andalucia where unemployment went up in May. Last month ended with another 2,727 people out of work in Almeria and put the provincial jobless total at 72,160, figures from the SEPE State Employment Public Service revealed.

This represents an increase of 3.93 per cent on April, and is a whopping 23.13 per cent more than in the same month last year.

By contrast, Andalucia-wide there was a dip in the jobless figures of 0.94 per cent in May, or 9,210 less people out of work than a month earlier.

Some of the rise in unemployment in Almeria was down to the end of the provincial agricultural campaign, accounting for 878 of the newly out of work, but 2,070 were service sector workers.

On the positive side, 382 jobs were created in the province’s construction sector over the month.

DISAGREEMENT: An individual got into an argument with the bar owner and his sons.

A BAR brawl in El Ejido ended with injuries and arrests.

Several Guardia Civil and USECIA Citizen Safety Unit patrols, along with Local Police, sped to the establishment in the Norias de Daza area after a call came through reporting a fight involving a bunch of individuals.

The officers found one person on the floor with various injuries to their head, back and limbs, some of

which were stab wounds requiring urgent medical assistance.

It turned out they had got into an argument with the bar owner and his two sons. Officers identified the trio, all of whom had also got hurt in the altercation.

The Guardia said the incident resulted in the detention of the father and sons, who all had police records, and a fourth individual on assault charges.

Antibody levels low ONLY 2.5 per cent of Almeria’s population has had Covid-19 and developed antibodies to the virus, a study reveals.

This compares with a national average rate of 5.2 per cent.

The findings come from the second round of the Carlos III Health Institute-led national study on the seroprevalence of coronavirus.

A total of 63,564 people took part in the study across Spain, carried out May 18 and June 1.

Plasma trials EXCLUSIVE

By Damon Mitchell EURO WEEKLY NEWS spoke exclusively with London based Eleisha Rae Kennedy who is currently working with NHS Blood and Transplant.

Up until the beginning of the Coronavirus health crisis, Eleisha was working as a tour guide showing tourists around London and places like the British Museum.

However, she began to feel ill and decided to selfisolate. Luckily for her, her symptoms passed within around a week.

“At that point, tour operators had ceased business due to lack of custom and I found out that the NHS was looking for volunteers for the Nightingale project, so I applied.

“When Nightingale hospitals called me back they discussed a position with

FLAGSHIP CLINIC: Looking for antibody levels that may fight the virus.

NHS Blood and Transplant, which I was very happy to take on,” said Eleisha.

“They were creating a trial where we would take convalescent plasma from people who had had the Covid infection and had recovered in the hope that the subject may have higher antibody levels that may fight the virus,” she explained and went on to say that “Donors were able to give

plasma through a transfusion 28 days after their symptoms had passed. Also, donors were either contacted by the government or had registered for the trial.”

Eleisha also spoke of some situations during assessment where there were not enough antibodies and also that not many women can donate as criteria state the donor must weigh more

than 70 kilos and be of a certain height. Also the transfusion is a two-way system, the blood goes out, the machine separates your red cells from the plasma and then puts the red cells back in, to do that you need a large vein and men tend to have larger veins.

The trials are taking place at the flagship clinic in the west end of London but are soon to stretch to other pop-up clinics throughout the city.

At this moment in time, there are four people receiving treatment and being constantly monitored for improvements.

When asked about the positive impact of the work she is doing Eleisha said, “Many of the donors have had a tough time, some have been very ill or lost family members. They really want to help in any way they can. To see that is humbling”

On the Back burner

RENFE’S low-cost high-speed rail will NOT run until a later date.

T H E m u c h a n t i c i p a t e d AV L O , a new low-cost version of Renfe’s AVE, connecting Madrid with B a rc e l o n a a t h i g h s p e e d s f o r a fraction of the price, was presumed to begin in April; however this initiative has been put on the back burner due to the coronavirus crisis.

The Minister of Transport and Mobility, Jose Luis Abalos, has announced that, at least on a shortterm basis, this new high speed train will have to be postponed to a later date under which new mobility conditions allow for its operation again.

The Minister admits that “I don’t find it feasible that we can provide

a ‘low cost’ service during this short space of time” and that “right now with the current issues about social distancing this would be complicated.”

A day after the State of Alarm was announced, on March 14, Renfe suspended the inauguration of its new AVLO which was due to begin connecting passengers between Madrid and Barcelona at a low price, yet high speed.

In the moment of its suspension, the transport operator had already commercialised around a third of its initial sales for the new service.

Due to this suspension of services, the operator was forced to refund customers for their purchases.

Croc search still on A PROFESSIONAL tracker has cast doubt on witness reports of a crocodile cruising a river.

Local Police and the Nature Protection Service of the Guardia Civil (Seprona) are trying to locate a oneand-a-half metre crocodile sighted in the area of Pesqueruela, in the Simancas district of Valladolid after various people claimed to have

seen the reptile. But on Monday, June 8, a professional tracker from Chelonia Association for Conservation, Research and Planning of Natural Resources, Fernando Gómez, said tracks found on the banks of Pesqueruela, “do not correspond, in any case, to a large reptile.”

He said that the evidence observed so far, footprints and remains

of a semi-devoured fish “do not correspond with the trail that a large reptile would leave.”

But in a statement obtained by Efe and El Norte de Castilla, he added “that does not mean it is not there.”

With regards to the remains of the fish found, Gómez said it is more likely to have been an otter which ate it.

However, the search is still underway.

istries is looking at the issue.

Also, that the national administration is talking to other European governments, and the government of Morocco.

by DAMON MITCHELL UP until now, the diff e re n t a u t o n o m o u s communities have been complaining that they have no power over the decisions made with regards to the lockdown and the de-escalation of the isolation period.

Now that Phase 3 has been decreed in most areas it allows them to regulate what actions and measures can be taken. It also gives them the power to make the decision to leave Phase 3 whenever they want to.

The ‘New Normality’ will then continue until they find a cure or vaccine for Covid-19.

Two years have now passed since the coming to power of Pedro

Sanchez. What he has shown the people of Spain is that he is a natural survivor. He has the capability of taking anything that has been thrown at him and making it into a positive.

Two years in which many unprecedented events in the parliamentary system have happened. Almost everything that has been happening on each day of this period could be classed

as historical. From Congress knocking down the first Budgets of Sanchez to the celebration of two electoral appointments in the same year and creating a coalition government made up of two political forces, PSOE and Podemos and most importantly winning the first vote of no confidence in Spanish democratic history.

What more could be the highlight of a career than leading a country through one of the biggest health crisis there has ever been?

Surely this will be the p e a k o f h i s c a r e e r, i t leaves us to wonder what will be Sanchez’ next win?

Home workers protected IN the new Spain, a huge num­ ber of workers will continue to be encouraged to work from home, but the government recognises that it will have to in­ troduce working regulations to ensure no diminution of employ­ ment rights.

For this reason, the Minister of Labour and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz has confirmed that her department will be closely examining the situation in order to ensure that those who volun­ teer to work from home are not discriminated against.

She intends to ensure that there is no loss of income or any rights that they would have ex­ pected if working in an office or similar location ­ this means no removal of the rights to claim expenses (if they previously ex­ isted), continued rights to pro­ motion and professional training and the ability to belong to a trade union or similar organisa­ tion to represent the individual.

There will be a section which deals with working hours and the rights to enjoy rest periods during the day and employers

will need to take into account the individual’s mental health, especially if there is an apparent feeling of isolation.

The employer may well benefit from a reduction in costs of hous­ ing its employees and should see less ‘sick days’ whilst the employ­ ee should be able to spend more time with the family as commut­ ing time will be drastically cut and should save travel costs.

The downside is that a general time spirit amongst workers may be lost as they no longer physi­ cally meet and interact.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Who pays for terrace?

Are community terraces the whole responsibility of the community? The terraces, according to the original builder, are the responsibility of the commu­ nity, but several of the houses have a shared terrace and other properties have their own small terrace area. I be­ lieve the community is only responsible for the tiled roof area, but not the terrace walls. Several of the owners have paid for maintenance of the terrace area out of their own pockets, but other owners claim the community should pay.

T H (Costa Blanca) The rule is this: Any­ thing outside the YOU AND THE LAW walls of the structure IN SPAIN belongs to the com­ munity. In an apartment building this means the terraces and balconies. In a row of townhouses it means the terraces or in­ dividual garden areas. This is why an owner must ask the com­ munity to vote permission to glass in his balcony. He is granted exclusive use of the space, but he does not own it. Who should pay for upkeep?

High street closures FOR years Britain’s high streets saw the arrival of numerous corporate chain eateries which were popular for a while, but started to fall out of fashion with the demise of such names as Carluccio’s and Jamie Oliv­ er’s.

With the lockdown, closure of restaurants owned by The Restaurant Group will in a number of cases be permanent and there will be no reopen­ ings for many Frankie & Ben­ ny's, as well as Garfunkel's.

It looks as if up to 120 sites will remain closed with job losses of up to 3,000.

Good news N E A R LY 6 ,0 0 0 w o r k e r s a t the Ford plant in Valencia have returned to work and it is expected that by the end of June ever y worker will be back. After so much bad news for the Spanish auto industr y, at last something positive.

Crude oil IN an effort to keep the price of oil from dropping, the OPEC+ group which includes Iran and Russia has confirmed that it will keep its reduction in production of oil down to 9.7 million barrels a day until the end of July.

Getting together IT is reported that two of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca in the UK and Gilead in the USA, which are both endeavouring to produce Covid-19 vaccines, are considering a possible merger.

Elon Musk visit?

ALTHOUGH there have been no con­ firmed sightings of billionaire Elon Musk in the UK, his private jet landed at Luton Airport and it is assumed that he was onboard.

As his business in the production of electric cars under the Tesla name grows

it is known that he is looking to estab­ lish factories in Europe and has already invested billions of euros in creating a plant in Berlin.

Now the British government is report­ edly trying to entice him to spread to the UK.

Black Economy could be tempting THE concept of a legal minimum income, backed by Spanish government financial support has been an important plank in the left leaning political parties in Spain.

It has finally been voted in but could come with some unexpect­ ed problems as those undertak­ ing the least well­paid jobs could well be tempted to enter the ‘black economy.’

The problem for the authori­ ties is that it will be very difficult to check on whether recipients

Victoria’s Secret shuts THE name Victoria’s Secret is synonymous with tall and voluptuous models dress in skimpy sexy underwear on cat walks in the USA in particular.

25 stores across the UK offering a range of clothing not just lingerie and employed 800 staff.

Now, thanks mainly to the coronavirus lockdown, they have had to call

of the government support are ‘topping up’ their income by tak­ ing on second jobs where they are paid in cash and no declara­ tion is made.

A perfect example would be domestic staff at smaller hotels who will be officially registered, will earn sufficiently low amounts for them to claim the government support but who can then undertake private domestic work such as cleaning, ironing etc where they are paid cash in hand.

The concept of trying to ensure that every person in Spain is en­ titled to sufficient income to al­ low them to move above the poverty line is undoubtedly one that many nations would aspire to, but considering the huge cost to the nation of the Covid­ 19 pandemic, it remains to be seen if this is actually the right idea at the wrong time.

Eventually all the money that has been spent in the first six months of 2020 (as well as the billions of euros still promised in the second half of the year) will have to be replaced somehow.

BUSINESS EXTRA Social Services IN order to cope with the need to continue to pay pensions, to support those self-employed who have applied for financial assistance during lockdown and pay the unemployed, the Spanish Department of Social Services will owe the government more than €85 billion.

Digital banking EXPECT to see a surge in the number of Spaniards who turn to digital banking during 2020 as they have become used to keeping away from bank branches due to their inaccessibility during the lockdown and the ongoing closure of branches.

Safer cars GESTAMP which has plants in Spain, Germany, France and Sweden has secured a €200 million loan from the European Investment Bank in order to allow it to continue research into how to make car bodies lighter and generally safer.

Blaming a racist virus

WHAT these rioter/protester mobs don’t understand, is that every screaming disruption and malicious destruction of public property gains thousands of more votes for Donald Trump!

Although the turn out for these demonstrations appears to be extensive, they are a mere fraction of the overall population, most of whom totally abhor this type of mob action; particularly when it is emerging that many are allegedly being financed by billionaire George Soros, as part of his supposed intention to bring anarchy to the USA! Trump’s appearance holding a bible and posing for an impromptu photo call outside the St John’s church was a brilliant PR exercise. To the bible belt and all those convinced that ‘God is on their side,’ plus his statement that he was the ‘President of law and order’ and was prepared to bring in troops to restore this order, would have won him millions of supporters, and to my mind absolutely guaranteed another Whitehouse term.

And what are these so called protesters chanting about anyway. Justice? Well just a minute, hasn’t the perpetrator in this case been arrested for murder and three

MOBS PROTESTING: Including the malicious destruction of public property. other police officers also accused of aiding and abetting? What sort of ‘justice’ do these people want - a public lynching?

While we’re about it, what about all the black populace who have committed horrendous murders of white victims?

What about the black man Kori Ali Mohamad, who admitted killing four people, as recently as March of this year, simply ‘because they were white’? How easily we

forget the vicious murders of two innocent white people carried out by OJ Simpson, who was initially found not guilty by a jury comprised mainly of black elderly women in what was considered one of the worst miscarriages of justice in recent history.

It took a civil unbiased court to subsequently find him guilty, but at no time did we witness hordes of white protesters screaming, looting and baying for blood.

No, I’m afraid that to me racism is a twoway street and those who scream racism the loudest are in fact often the biggest racists of all.

It has also recently been established that more ethnic minorities and black people are dying of the Corona disease than white. What hasn’t been made clear is why? We have just witnessed large gatherings of mainly black and ethnic people, completely ignoring the government’s directives in social distancing; in the same way as I reported nearly two months ago, when I observed that even then advice was being ignored by the ethnic communities.

Many mosques remained open and some Imams were even telling their followers that it wasn’t their problem and was in fact ‘the wrath of Allah on the infidels’! At the time I wrote that in a few weeks, when they began dropping like flies, they would probably be blaming the indigenous population or the government for their problems.

I didn’t imagine for one minute they would be blaming a racist virus!

No responsibility is accepted for accuracy of information, errors, omissions or statements.

PERSONAL THANKS DEAR Euro Weekly, May I through the good offices of your newspaper, take this opportunity to offer my personal thanks to the Lady Mayoress of Águilas, Miss Maria Del Carmen Moreno, for the decisive and efficient action she took to implement the lockdown.

In my opinion, the Chiefs of Police in both the Local Police and Guardia Civil are to be congratulated on the way both forces are carrying out their duties: firm, but friendly, from my limited observations.

Lastly, the residents of Águilas, who I also observed fleetingly. They appeared to be acting very responsibly and positively, to the lockdown and are to be commended for this.

Yours sincerely, Mr A Atherton

Clear and sensible Dear Euro Weekly News, I am a British expat who has lived in Spain for many years.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, I have been very impressed by the Spanish government’s reaction and lockdown rules that have been employed and the clear and sensible relaxations that are being made now as and when safe to do so. The Spanish residents have all acted in a sensible and law-abiding way too.

OUR VIEW Mutual respect

AS many people have started to return to their workplaces whilst coronavirus isolation eases off, we must ask are these companies ready?

Yes, there are to be new health and sanitary measures put into place to save the spread of any virus but surely there will need to be help in place for the effects on employees’ mental health.

Whether it be from being stuck in the house with minimal or no contact with others to loss of family members, having suffered from the virus themselves, to facing a new, changed world and even just the pressure of getting stuck back into projects and actual work.

Some may fear the return to normal they have been hoping for. In the two months, they have been out of a work environment people have learned to use their time in different ways, taken up activities that they may not have time for when they return to work, gained new skills or found some kind of peace. These may be things that they will be reluctant to let go of or struggle to continue with.

People may now have realised that they can live a life without five coffees at Pret a Manger every day or wardrobes full of clothes. This new normal could now allow people to prioritise lifestyle and well-being over work.

Companies should be ready for this, will they meet their employees halfway to ease them back into their role? Will they nurture and value them more in an understanding that we have all been through this together.

We must remember that everyone from interns, office staff, managers and CEOs have had to deal with fear and create a new life that is comfortable. Let’s hope with that joint experience comes a mutual respect.

CORRECTIONS

Thanks for action.

Contrast this to the shambolic way that Boris Johnson and the British government have reacted and it makes me truly ashamed to be British.

The British government is going against a lot of the scientific advice that is being given at the moment and are relaxing the lockdown regulations while the infection and death rate is still too high.

There are also a large number of people ignoring the social distancing rules and regulations and it is like a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode into a new and deadly spike of infections.

The most worrying point at the moment is if Spain goes ahead as planned to open up to tourism, will there be checks in place on all those coming into the country especially from places like the UK? Will the tourists be policed in the strict manner needed?

Tourism is very important to the Spanish economy, I just hope that the resumption is done slowly and carefully so that the country doesn’t get a second spike in infections causing unnecessary pain, death and suffering.

Kind regards Tony Wiggins

Leftie, rightie, Leapy Dear Leapy Lee Why do you call anyone who dares to criticise the current Tory government a ‘leftie’? Surely, in a democracy, anyone has the right, whatever their political leanings, to criticise their government if they feel it has made mistakes.

In the current Coronavirus crisis the UK government has left a lot to be desired in their response, yet you are prepared to excuse them by saying they have found themselves in an unprecedented situation, but it is an unprecedented situation for ALL governments of the world and many have tackled it much better.

Also, in the light of the Dominic Cummings debacle, more than 50 of the prime minister’s own MPs have criticised his response not to mention thousands of others. Are these all ‘lefties’? Obviously not.

Come on Leapy Lee, look at the wider picture and be prepared to snap out of your blinkered right-wing views.

Maybe, one day, it might dawn on you that Boris Johnson is totally out of his depth and is a shoddy excuse for a prime minister who tells blatant lies just like his counterpart in America.

COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK The Spanish Government to Announce New Regulations if a Coronavirus Vaccine is not Available How are they going to include the testing as law? There is a human rights law that prevents you from being made to have a treatment that you do not want. And you cannot be discriminated against for that choice.

If we are now being told to have a test or we will be discriminated against, it is against Article 6, section 1, of the UNESCO 2005 statement of Bioethics and Human rights.

Paul Ash it doesn’t yet.

It does say... ‘Among them, all the suspected cases of Covid-19 are obliged to carry out PCR or derived tests.’

That is medical treatment which you can choose not to have and should not be discriminated against if you decide not to have it based on the fact it is not accurate.

If the person who won the Nobel prize for inventing RT/PCR testing, Karey Banks Mullis, has himself said that you are not to use the PCR test for diagnosis as it is 81 per cent false positive and cannot differentiate between any of the seven human corona virus ailments, why should it be compulsory to be used and made to be mandatory in the ‘new normal’?

MH

MPs warn overcrowding on Britain’s beaches could lead to second wave of Covid-19 and force a lockdown And the hundreds (at least) of people who are gathering together in London to attack the police, destroy the streets, damage cars, loot stores and injure police horses probably aren’t going to help the figures much, either - however they justify their behaviour to themselves.

JTAA

Airline Adversaries British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair square up to the UK Government over Quarantine Law People living in glass houses shouldn’t be throwing stones, Ryanair can speak when he gives passengers their money back for cancelled flights, some of these people probably are short of cash right now and need the money.

Amen.

JGB

Spain’s open-air bull rings to reopen from Monday but dance floors remain closed This really has to STOP. What ‘human being’ would actually love to watch a defenceless animal being tortured for fun... what kind of people are you? No empathy in their bones at all.

KM

Minneapolis Agrees to Ban Neck Restraints & Chokeholds Following George Floyd’s Death I totally agree, but in return the protesters should agree not to use a sad event like this to riot and loot innocent shop keepers, that is bad press and does not help their cause, only discredits what they are protesting about. Looters should be handed over to the authorities. x

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that the new year is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you.

When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives.

Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There's no problem with discussing things and talking them through.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.

soon sorts things out. You don’t like playing the ‘bad guy’, but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-thanlife imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.

Kakuro AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented month, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times. Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa.

Fill all the empty squares using the numbers 1 to 9, so that the sum of each horizontal block equals the ‘clue’ on its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the clue on its top. No number may be used in the same block more than once.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled.

Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable.

Fill the grid so that every row, every column and every 3X3 box contains the digits 1-9. There’s no maths involved. You solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic.

Sleep tight THE global health crisis has given everybody a little extra stress due to not spending time at work, re-

lationship issues or being cooped up with your family all day.

It can become too

much, so it’s possible your sleep may suffer.

Anxiety from thinking you can’t sleep can make things worse. Free your mind and the rest will follow. Try keeping a notebook to write down things you’re worrying about.

An overheated body can be disruptive to your sleep. Wear light cottons and make sure your bedroom is kept cool and dark through the night.

Physical comfort is critical for sleep, so invest in a decent mattress. Almost half of our life is spent in bed, so it’s worth investing in one that gives the right support and prevents back pain.

Eating and drinking before bed can affect sleep.

Avoid stimulants like caffeine and sugar and opt for a glass of warm milk or a cup of chamomile tea to induce sleep.

A day in our shoes: Understanding What It Feels Like MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED FOR someone looking in from the outside I can only imagine how confusing it must be to understand someone who has Bipolar. If you have a friend or family member living with bipolar disorder, this person may be afraid to share how they really feel.

During these emotional highs known as mania - I may become full of energy and overly excited about everything and anything!

Sometimes, all you see is a fun, optimistic, and bubbly person - the life of the party. But other times, you may notice erratic and strange behaviours with their joyful mood.

I become more talkative, to the point where others can’t get a word in. I also speak fast, or come off as impulsive and easily distracted. I tend to be quite repetitive, telling you the same story a million times!

When I’m in a depressive episode, I want to be left alone but then get lonely and think everyone is avoiding me! I don’t want to go anywhere, see anyone, or do anything. It’s like no m a t t e r what I do, I’m doing something wrong. So, the easiest way to feel better is to hide.

Seeing everyone carrying on, living their happy little lives is an annoying reminder of my bipolar disorder and how I’ll never have that kind of stability.

No matter what it is - I don’t enjoy things because the smallest details annoy me. If friends invite me out, I imagine waiting for the bus, being crammed against people, crowded bars, and all the other negative things. I think of every possible downside of something, which leaves me dreading the idea of doing anything. I analyse every possible worse case scenario.

I turn into this grumpy overly obsessive lady!

During these episodes when I think about the future, I don’t like what I see. I can only see more troubles, endless work to keep well, and an endless string of letdowns and failed relationships.

But there is also a place inbetween - the middle - between the mania and the depressions there is a small breathing space, I get to catch my breath back, and build up enough energy to roll out the punches the average day gives me!

It never lasts for long, so I make the most of it and enjoy it whilst it lasts …I’m not freaking out over small problems, I enjoy the little things, and I’m not loathing the future.

I feel normal (my kind of normal!) and it’s how I see myself. I’m not some lunatic running around or some long face lazy slug!

I honestly wish I could stay in this mindset all the time, but I know that won’t happen. I’ve accepted that my moods will change on their own.

The key to understanding this illness is it’s unpredictable not the person suffering it, but the illness. I am not unpredictable, but my illness is.

Take it one day at a time with your loved one.

Have patience.

Healing and understanding the illness doesn’t happen over night, and it’s completely nor mal to worry about your loved one during their mania and depressive episodes.

But the most important thing of all is DON’T GIVE UP ON US … We need your guiding light to keep going, keep believing in us.

A quote from my mum when I became really ill eight years ago : “All the time I had hope, I said it for you, and thought it for you even when I knew you had none. I fought to feel it for you, knowing that if I doubted even one single moment you would slip away and the second chance we had with you would be lost.”

STUCK INSIDE: There are many household items you can use to exercise.

WITH many of us having being stuck behind closed doors for a while and sports equipment shops and gyms closed we need to find a way of getting summer body fit. There are many household items you already have that you can use as makeshift weights or exercise aids.

How about filling two water bottles the same size with sand from the beach, pebbles or plain old dirt. The weight will then allow them to be used as dumbells

so you can crack on with sculpting your guns.

A towel or t-shirt can be used as a resistance band if tied in a loop allowing it to be used for your arm and leg workouts.

Get climbing those stairs for some cardio or to feel the burn add some food cans to a backpack whilst you do it.

If you have a rope long enough you should get skipping for a full-body workout.

PETS WHILE you may be fussy about who you let in to care for your home and pets, some pets can be even fussier. You need to make sure that whomever you invite in to house and pet-sit while you are away is a real pet lover. HouseSit Match finds pet lovers for you to care for your favourite pets.

INTERNATIONAL to read more visit www.euroweeklynews.com Attempt to burn Union Jack BLM protests in London got out of control when demonstrators began vandalising and defacing war memorials such as the statue of Winston Churchill and the statue of Jesus on the cross in Hayes.

On Sunday June 7 a protestor attempted to burn down the flag of Great Britain at the Cenotaph in Westminster. Moments before the police officers arrival, he was prevented by a young lady, Eleanor Cooke. She jumped in to attempt to prevent the burning of the flag when she was tackled by police officers and was left with an injury on the side of her hip.

When asked why she had attempted to stop the protestor she replied with “It is a criminal offence, they need to stop defacing our war memorials and show respect for our ancestors who lost their lives fighting for our freedom, it detracts from the cause, a peaceful protest is far more powerful!”

Rescued A BRITISH man who was trapped in a well in Bali for six days has been rescued.

According to reports, 29-year-old Jacob Roberts was being chased by a dog when he fell into a four-metre-deep near empty reservoir, breaking his leg.

His shouts for help were eventually heard by a farmer feeding his cows in Pecatu village, who contacted emergency services.

Speaking after the rescue on June 6, South Kuta police chief Yusak Agustinus Sooai said the Brit looked “thin and injured.”

He was taken to a hospital nearby for treatment.
