THE Junta de Andalucía has agreed to fine the owner of the Totalán farm, in which a minor died after falling into a well in January of 2019, with an amount of €300,001 for the commission of a very serious infraction in terms of mining safety. On January 13 of last year, the two-year-old boy, Julen, fell into a ditch dug in Cerro de la Corona where the technicians of the Junta de Andalucía confirmed the existence of water that ‘is not covered or piped.’ Days later, on January 26, thanks to the participation of the rescue teams, the body of the minor was found inside the aforementioned well. On March 12, the Government Delegation of the Junta in Malaga reported that works carried out lack the administrative authorisation required for their execution, and it revealed that the established security measures were not taken to avoid an accident, mainly in the well into

Fines and Possibly even Jail! AS parents and children all over Spain prepare for the return to schools on Monday many are not aware that a refusal to do so can lead to serious consequences like fines and possibly even imprisonment. Millions of students are expected to resume their education in schools and colleges across Spain this week, but many parents have already stated they will definitely NOT be taking their children back citing fears their kids could catch the coronavirus. A magistrate in the Contentious Chamber of
the Higher Court of Justice of Murcia and national spokesperson for Judges and Judges for Democracy, explains that “parents have the obligation to take their children to receive an education. For this reason, those who encourage truancy face jail time, fines and in the worst of cases, the loss of parental authority.” There is a Penal Code that mentions non-compliance with the obligation to educate children leads to imprisonment of three to six months. The magistrate, Ascensión Martín, compares
these events with “when someone does not want their son to have a blood transfusion and a judge agrees that they do,” and says she doesn’t understand parents who “now tear their clothes and say their children cannot go to school when the children have spent the whole summer in the parks, playing with other children.” The magistrate added that education “is better in person - if it were only virtual the situation would be horrible since not everyone has an iPad or the Internet or a parent to explain Chemistry.”

WITH climate change being such a hot topic, many people may like to know that in the depths of the coasts of Malaga there are corals, of which the best preserved are in the MaroCerro Gordo area, as well as in Punta de la Mona, in Granada; and in many other enclaves of the coast of the province. These waters that we spend our summers swimming and diving in hold some of the answers to the future of the world as we know it.

For scientists, these are animals, not plants, a point that is very important, as they are bioindicators of the state of conservation and climate change. “In the Mediterranean they fulfil the function of being an axis of the ecosystem, the fish use them as a refuge and to lay eggs; without corals there would be no other species,” explained Fernando García Alarcón, president of the Equilibrio Marino association, which promotes the SOS Corales conservation programme.
The team of volunteers, made up of about 20 expert divers with scientific knowledge, dive several weekends a month to remove debris which affects the coral ecosystem. The final objective of the initiative is, according to its main promoter, that the surroundings of Maro, Cerro Gordo and Punta de la Mona soon become a Marine Protected Area, which will mean shielding it from fishing; in addition to creating a precedent for other similar areas.

Back to Phase 1
THE cities of Salamanca and Valladolid return to Phase 1 in shock announcement with the new restrictions being put in place today Thursday September 3 despite Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s insistence that he will not put the entire country into a State of Alarm, however more and more regions are utilising the new powers given to them to move backwards to contain outbreaks in their area. From today it will be forbidden for more than 10 people, either in private or in a public place to gather in Salamanca and Valladolid. The local government in the area have justified their decision due to the sharp rise in infections and mortality in the region. Veronica Casado highlighted that there is clear evidence that there is “community transmission” in these areas which needs to be curbed and they have requested
the cooperation of the central Spanish government in their efforts. The new measures, will affect a wide range of interpersonal gatherings with funerals and wakes now only allowing a maximum of 15 people in outdoor spaces or 10 in enclosed. Churches, weddings and other civil celebrations, the maximum allowed capacity will be 50 people outdoors and just 23 indoors, without exceeding one third of the venue’s total capacity. The hospitality sector will also suffer as clientele may not consume inside the premises unless seated at a table. Whether inside or on a terrace, this cannot exceed six people and masks are compulsory. At the time of going to print, with Salamanca and Valladolid returning to Phase 1, it is now concerning for the rest of the country as to which area will be next.

Drugs ring smashed GUARDIA CIVIL have smashed an international cannabis trafficking ring operating in t h re e Andalucia provinces. Operation ‘Rodillo’ involved officers in Almeria, Malaga and Granada and resulted in 13 arrests on charges of membership of a criminal organisation, breaking and entering, illegal ownership of arms and defrauding the power supply, as well as drug trafficking. The investigation into the gang began in February on the Costa Almeria when Guardia Civil officers in Los Gallardos intercepted a rented vehicle driven by someone dressed like a painter and decorator. Sure enough there were painting materials in the vehicle, but hidden among them were 27 kilos of cannabis buds

Investigations revealed the drug originated from Granada and there was a whole, interlinked criminal network dedicated to the international trafficking of the drug, which between September 2019 and February this year alone carried out more than 40 cannabis deliveries. It also emerged the organisation had a faction in Malaga which was responsible for supplying the cannabis through exporter contacts based in
Almeria, who in turn stored the drug coming from small suppliers and intermediaries in Granada. The operation involved nine searches and the seizure of close to 40 kilos of cannabis, precision scales and materials for packing the drug, three firearms, ammunition and more than €100,000. Parallel to the antidrugs operation the Guardia Civil also uncovered a clandestine cockfighting pit in Granada.

Eurosport films Almeria specials EUROSPORT has been on the Costa Almeria this week to shoot specials about the destination for broadcast during the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament. The channel is set to run a number of programmes in which French former professional tennis player Henri Leconte tours different parts of the region’s coast and inland areas and showcases its attractions as as part of a promotional deal with the Almeria Provincial Council. Diputacion Tourism deputy Fernando Gimenez accompanied Leconte and the Eurosport film crew when they visited the Calar Alto observatory. “The importance of the presence of the Costa Almeria in Roland Garros does not only lie in the broadcast of more than 2,000 spots, but in a series of reports about the province. For this we have to thank and welcome Henri Lecon-
te to our land because he is going to tell France and the rest of Europe about the treasures of the Costa Almeria,” the deputy said. Leconte replied that is an “honour to be an ambassador for Almeria and a privilege to be here.” As well as the observatory, Leconte’s itinerary has included the Tabernas desert, the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, Pulpi geode and the Almeria Civil War shelters. He got to try the cuisine in some of the province’s top eateries and to cook his own meal with a local chef. He also tried out some of Almeria’s active tourism offers, like scuba diving, kayaking, sailing and exploring in a 4x4, with a view to highlighting the region as an ideal destination for practising all kinds of outdoor sports year-round. According to the Diputacion the Eurosport deal means the Costa Almeria will reach 153 million homes in 54 countries during the French Open, which due to the Covid-19 pandemic is scheduled for September 27 to October 11 rather than in late May as usual. Also in the agreement is Eurosport journalists producing content on the province’s natural resources, cuisine and places for practising sport for the channel’s social media.

Inspirational Oscar completes mammoth fundraising challenge in record time TRULY inspirational Oscar O’Sheehan, 11, has completed his mammoth fundraising challenge to raise funds to create a sensory garden on the Costa Blanca in record time. The huge-hearted young boy from Denia has walked the final stages of the Camino de Santiago - 300 kilometres - with ever-supportive mum Niamh, raising more than €3,000 for the special facility at the La Xara Occupational and Day Centre. And while the feat was expected to take 15 days, the pair completed it in 12, walking an average of 25kms every day. Niamh told Euro Weekly News: “We got home on Thursday, August 27 and were absolutely shattered. You just keep going when you’re walking, you can’t let it get to you, but as soon as you stop it hits you. “We’re thrilled to have completed the walk in 12 days as there’s a lot of difficult terrain, mountains, rocky roads and dirt paths, as well as towns and vil-
lages.” The venture began two years ago when Oscar asked his mum if he could walk the Camino Santiago. “That’s not like going for any old walk, it’s a pilgrimage!” said mumof-three Niamh, a well-known singer on the Costa Blanca. In October 2018 and October 2019 determined Oscar covered 470kms of his incredible challenge. The plan was that in October 2020 Oscar would tackle the final 300-plus kilometres of the camino from Leon to Santiago de Compostela. “However, as we all know, 2020 hasn’t quite gone to plan,” said Niamh. To avoid Oscar missing more school after months of lockdown, it was decided he would walk his final 300km of Camino Santiago through the tricky tracks and trails of Galicia in the very early mornings of August. The idea to create a sensory garden came about after a visit to the Occupational & Day Care

With a budget tighter than ever, practical priorities come first, but Oscar is determined to help - and you can still help too. “We now have to build the sensory garden,” said Niamh. “A lot of thought needs to go into that and we need to have expertise. “If there are any architects who can help, tradespeople, garden centres and building supplies companies who could donate their time or materials, that would be fantastic. “We are hoping the whole process will take about a week.” You can help Oscar realise his dream by donating at www.helpofdenia.com.

Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL THE Spanish Parliament’s summer recess is over. President Pedro Sanchez has a difficult couple of months in front of him; he will have to deal with the pandemic, national budget, and possible vote of no confidence. The media has spread during the summer recess, worrying Covid-19 figures. The spike in the numbers seems to coincide with the regional governments imposing stricter rules concerning the use of face masks. The government will have to study if face masks provoke a viral load (amount of virus in the blood), which in turn affect the PCR tests which are screened on the general public. No other country in Europe has seen the pandemic figures rocket like the Spanish and most of the European countries have relaxed rules compared to

Spain concerning the use of face masks. Meanwhile, the first agenda on the restart has been the new school year, which has left many parents worried, due to the constantly increasing cases which are broadcasted by the news organisations. The key to securing the national budget is for Sanchez to keep together his minority coalition government as the Podemos party has made it very clear to Sanchez’s Party (PSOE) that if they reach an agreement with Ciudadanos, they will consider in which terms they will back the budget. Moreover, the agreement with Ciudadanos would also anger the separatist Catalan parties who on more than one occasion have warned Mr Sanchez that they are not interested in the governability of Spain. Before the summer recess, the right-wing party VOX stated in congress that they

Nevertheless, the PSOE have their attention on the regional community of Madrid where they won the last elections, but fell far from the majority needed to rule. It seems that the good relationship that Ciudadanos and PSOE have had over the last few months could culminate in a possible vote of no confidence against the PP party which governs
the community. What could happen next both epidemiologically and economically depends on how Pedro Sanchez deals politically with the upcom-
ing agendas. Sanchez has to try to curb the pandemic, without jeopardising the already battered economy. However, he seems to have washed his hands, leaving the communities to deal with the problems. And as an example, the magistrate José Mariño didn’t permit the strict restrictions that the Murcia government tried to impose, stating that it was not proportionate that because 0.2 per cent of the population is infected, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the 99.80 per cent of the healthy Murcia people have to be restricted.
Moreover, the European Community has bailed out Spain with €140 billion which should help Mr Sanchez secure the national budget. However, Europe has also requested austerity measures which have dwindled the ambitious social agenda that the coalition originally announced. In addition, Mr Sanchez’s constant flirtings with Ciudadanos has also provoked unrest in many of Podemos’ leaders. Therefore, there is no consensus even within the government which leaves Mr Sanchez with many ongoing issues to get to grips with.

Lack of Spanish octopus FISHERMEN specialising in catching octopus in Spanish waters have nev er had such a poor catch according to representatives of the San Mar tiño Fishermen’s Association in Gali cia. Speaking to the Spanish press they indicated that this year’s catch is just 10 per cent of what was expected which will push prices up for this
very popular cephalopod. The octopus has a short lifespan of just two years and under Spanish law, any caught which weigh less than one kilo must be returned to the water and normally they exceed that weight when they are about one year old. Due to their short life span, a change in water temperature, avail

able food or other factors can affect their breeding pattern and it may be that they are simply maturing late. For years it was thought that it was not possible to farm octopus, but a breakthrough discovery in 2018 means that it may become a commercial option within the next few years if the wild species contin ue to decline.
EU / US tariff reductions agreed
Can they use the pool? I am the president of a community in the Valencian region. Our administra tor informs me that a precedent has been set by a judge in this region which ruled that a community can stop debtors and their renters from using the swimming pool if community fees are not paid. Can you con firm this? B I (Costa Blanca)
YOU AND THE LAW IN SPAIN The Alicante provincial court ruled in 2016 that a community may prohibit debtors from using the pool by passing an in ternal regulation. This decision does not es tablish a precedent for other courts to cite. In fact, it goes against the general opinion. The DGRN, which oversees the work of Registries and Notary offices, has ruled that the only pos sible way to establish such prohibition is by in cluding it in the original charter document of the community. This charter can be amended by a unanimous vote of the members. The debtor has already lost his vote in the AGM but courts have ruled that for such an impor tant vote requiring unanimity he may cast his vote. He will probably vote against the prohi bition.

SIR RICHARD BRANSON has agreed the Virgin Group will inject £400 million (€440 million) of new cash into a £1.2 billion (€1.3 billion) res cue plan to save the Virgin Atlantic Airline. Creditors including share holders, banks, aircraft own ers and suppliers owed money were faced with a complete collapse of the air line by the beginning of Sep tember, so they have agreed the new plans. If approved by the High Court in London, the plan should allow Virgin Atlantic 18 months in which to re cover.

IMPORT TARIFFS: Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland.
DAVID SEARL
Virgin Atlantic deal
WHILST Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland, a joint state ment from the European Union and the US government suggest ed that the EU had caught a real deal to eliminate certain tariffs in cluding those on US shellfish. The statement issued by United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and European Union Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said that they had reached agreement on a package of tariff reductions that will increase mar ket access for the EU by €135 mil lion ($160 million). Under the agreement, the EU will eliminate tariffs on imports of US live and frozen lobster prod ucts. US exports of these products to the EU were over $111 million (€94 million) in 2017. The EU will eliminate these tariffs on a Most Favoured Nation (MFN) basis, retroactive to begin August 1, 2020. The United States in return
will reduce by 50 per cent its tariff rates on some products exported by the EU to include certain pre pared meals, certain crystal glass ware, surface preparations, pro pellant powders, cigarette lighters and lighter parts. “As part of improving EUUS re lations, this mutually beneficial agreement will bring positive re sults to the economies of both the United States and the European Union. “We intend for this package of tariff reductions to mark just the beginning of a process that will lead to additional agreements that create more free, fair, and reciprocal transatlantic trade,” said Ambassador Lighthizer and Commissioner Hogan. Whilst Britain still tries to ob tain its own special deal with the USA, this is the first tariff deal done between the EU and USA in more than 20 years.
Rolls Royce asset sale THE company that manufac tures Rolls Royce engines has suffered considerably from the pandemic and the lock down and is looking to sell a number of subsidiaries to raise €2.2 billion. Marked for disposal is Span ish based engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero and with a €2.19 billion loan due to be repaid by October 2021 it needs cash as quickly as pos sible as well as a return to pro duction of engines. With 4,000 staff lost so far, it expects to shed a further 5,000 across the group this year.
Carrefour plans takeover THE French Supermarket Group Car refour is spending an estimated €78 million to take over 172 Supersol stores in Andalucia and Madrid. It intends to convert them to Ex press or Market stores and some will
become rebranded as part of its dis count Supeco collection. Many Supersol stores appear to have become ‘tired’ with little inno vation or renovation and Carrefour expects to be able to improve sales
and increase footfall as well as intro ducing pick up points for online or ders. As Spain becomes a more impor tant market for Carrefour, this is its first major Spanish acquisition since
it took over 36 Eroski outlets as long ago as 2016. The purchase will have to receive formal approval from the regulators, but it is hoped that the sale will be completed by the end of this year.

Pound gains on euro and US dollar Staying on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…
ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday
Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
Latest currency news Over the last month we’ve seen fairly jittery trading in the currency market as concerns about the tra jectory of the global economic re covery grow. The pound performed fairly well in August, with the GBP/EUR ex change rate advancing from lows of €1.09 to highs of €1.11. GBP/USD has also pushed higher in the last four weeks, with the pair ing rallying from $1.28 to $1.32. EUR/USD’s performance has been less consistent, with the euro fluctuating between $1.17 and $1.19. What’s been happening?
CURRENCY MARKET: Concerns over the global economic recovery. Over the course of August the pound managed to advance against several of its rivals despite signifi cant hurdles at home and abroad. Renewed Brexit jitters and con cerns about an impending UK em ployment crisis limited Sterling’s potential for gains, but the cur rency still closed out the month higher against both the euro and
the US dollar. While reduced demand for safe haven currencies weighed on the US dollar for the first half of the month, with USD hitting a twoyear low midAugust, the currency was quick to bounce back. Ongoing concerns about the glob al economic outlook and future risks to international growth have driven
investors away from higherrisk cur rencies, giving the US dollar room to recover some of its recent losses. Finally, the euro has been losing ground on fears that the resurgence of coronavirus cases in Europe could hamper the Eurozone’s recov ery. The negative impact of the resur gence was highlighted in August’s preliminary PMIs for the Eurozone, which detailed a stalling in growth. What do you need to look out for? The pound’s uptrend could come to an end in September. The wind ing down of the UK’s furlough scheme is expected to trigger a wave of new redundancies and a sharp spike in the unemployment rate. Such an outcome is likely to weigh on demand for GBP. Demand for the pound will also
be undermined if progress in Brexit negotiations remains limited. However, if the coronavirus situa tion in Europe deteriorates further (weakening the euro in the process) the GBP/EUR exchange rate’s losses may be limited. Over in the US, political risk will start having more impact on the US dollar in the coming weeks as cam paigning ramps up ahead of Novem ber’s presidential election.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT
FEATURE
We are all so bewildered
I DO believe I’m actually losing it. Alright alright. I can hear the cackles of agreement from here! No, usually I am pretty resilient but I’ve recently begun to realise this whole Covid thing is finally getting to me. It’s not that I’m bored. With three radio shows a week, a blurb to churn out, six cats, a dog and a home to run, boredom is undoubtedly not the problem. I also count my blessings that I am easily in touch with family and friends. So why is it suddenly all going so mentally pear shaped? It’s not only me experiencing this reaction, I’ve also noticed an ever increasing number of colleagues and friends, many of whom have been quite positive in the past have been posting their misgivings and doubts on social media. Well obviously the threat to our health, the masking, social distancing, travel restrictions and financial worries are grinding us all down, but it goes far deeper than that. I believe the main reason so many of us are sinking into such a mental state of despair is that we don’t have an end date. It is a
CURRENT NIGHTMARE: When will it all end? proven fact, that many of the mental breakdowns, unrest and violence in our prisons, often have a direct link to the date of a prisoner’s release. Apart from those who will never be freed, offenders never know the actual date of their release until it is determined by either a judge, or a parole board. The result is a kind of limbo existence. A period of uncertainty as to the future, which if it goes on too long
can lead to all kinds of problems, both mental and physical - and we are experiencing exactly the same trauma. ‘Stone walls do not a prison make.’ We are in fact all serving a term with no end date. There is nothing definite in the future to look forward too. If we were told this whole nightmare would be over on say July 6 next year, we would certainly moan and gripe about how long we had to wait, but
at least it would be something definite. We could start to cross the dates off on our calendars. We could begin to make plans. We could count sleeps! As it is we have no idea when, or even how this nightmare will end. Slowly but surely we are being worn down and mentally exhausted by the uncertainty of it all; plus the fact, that with the unprecedented nature of the situation, it is glaringly obvious our leaders are as bewildered as we all are. Is it all a conspiracy? Well, we are borrowing trillions from someone out there. Are these faceless individuals gleefully breaking out the Dom and Coronas, congratulating themselves that their dastardly plot is going even better than they anticipated? What worries me is the person that finally does deliver the planet an ‘end date’ could well be hailed as the new Messiah. Perhaps thats the whole idea.

CONSULAR MATTERS IN these troubled times it seems that we live from crisis to crisis. Many citizens have found holiday rentals are a way to increase family income by renting rooms in their own houses; or their second homes, to tourists compared to those who use this possibility to hide a business activity. The abuse by those who act irregularly offering services more typical of a hotel business or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rather than a private activity of renting rooms in your own home, has led to the need to regulate this ‘activity’ in view of the lack of a special law to resolve this type of situation. The Spanish Treasury took part in the matter and forced the platforms (Airbnb, Vbro, Booking ... etc) to promptly report all the income obtained by the owners as a result of said activity and now it will be the municipalities who
Are holiday rentals being banned? BED & BREAKFAST: Regulations are necessary.
will claim their share, in the form of licences or permits to develop that business activity. The hen that lays the gold-
en eggs of vacation rentals is being encircled, due to the multitude of problems or conflicts that have arisen on some occasions due to the
lack of regulation. The law is behind the reality and despite the fact that after the reform of the law in 2019 that incorporated the possibility that the Communities of Owners can prohibit, limit or condition vacation rentals, the truth is that this measure has not been very successful in requiring large majorities to take the agreement, because in the end it is a limitation to your ability to use your private property within your own home. And now, suddenly, we find ourselves with the surprising news that in Barcelona the renting of a room in your own house to tourists has been prohibited. Indeed, the government of Catalonia has left this possibility in the hands of each city coun-
cil and Barcelona has been the first to do so. In this way, for a year, no one else will be able to request a licence to share their home with tourists. And this news has spread like wildfire without perhaps understanding exactly what has actually been prohibited. In any case, the owners of tourist apartments can continue with their rentals if they are already registered. A new rule to try to prevent some property owners take advantage of camouflaging an illegal hotel or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ activity by renting rooms as a private holiday home.

LEARN SPANISH JOHN
SHARPLES
CAN you imagine what life would be like for you if you lived in the UK but you didn’t speak English. You would never get anywhere or get anything. It would be impossible to make friends with other people as all communication would be pointing and gestures. It is easier for the British community here in Spain as tourism has meant that the Spanish people have learned our language. Being able to speak English means cash in people’s pockets. Money is a great incentive to learn a language. If Blackpool was full of Spanish people, you can guarantee that most of the people of Lancashire would have a good basic knowledge of Spanish. Sadly, many people don’t bother to learn the language be-
LOCAL LINGO: Improve your life and have a go.
cause they simply feel that they don’t need it. This is simply not true. You do need it. Having Spanish means that you can be understood at the doctors and the hospital. It means that the police can understand you better
too. What is more, isn’t it really just something that we should all be able to do, to speak the language of the country that we live in. Surely we have an obligation to fit in. This is all easy for me to say be-
cause I speak the lingo. I taught myself before I moved over here years ago. I didn’t want to be held back in what I wanted to do because of a lack of being able to make myself understood. Over the years I have realised
that I did the right thing. It wasn’t always plain sailing. I made mistakes. I once told the doctor that I was pregnant. As I am a man, I think he was more than a little surprised. The word for embarrassed is embarasoso and the word for pregnant is embarasado. It is easy to make mistakes, but you just have to laugh them off and carry on learning. In these quiet times, we all have a few extra hours on our hands. Start off by learning to count up to a hundred. Learn the days of the week and the months of the year. Try to learn things that are useful to you like, how to say your telephone number or your date of birth. You could pick a few words each day to try and say or better still, join one of the classes that are run here on the Costa del Sol. Scientists have proved that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks as long as the dog has an incentive. Go on, improve your life and have a go. I promise you that you won’t regret it.

GOOD morning, class. No talking at the back, please. I’d like to begin with another few moans. I did a straw poll among my friends (only the finest of scientific and journalistic methods for this column, folks) about their biggest gripes. Top of the list: M&S and the BBC - and their latest problems. First up, M&S (and its 7,000 job losses) where the only items I buy now are plain, unobtrusive items like tights and, err, knickers. Anything that doesn’t scream ‘M&S’. Their core clothing strength has always been their multiple sizes and lengths (attracting those who want short, medium or long). Something to fit everyone, and good quality items in classic styles that fit the lessthan-perfect figure perfectly and British made, preferably. M&S should stick to those core principles. Not try to please everyone all the time

M&S GETTING THEIR KNICKERS IN A TWIST M&S: How is it going to survive the 21st century?
and frankly not succeeding in pleasing anyone at any time. M&S should be leading the way in producing British-made, non-fast fashion, good quality high street staples. If they cost a bit more, so be it. But they should be worth the price because they are timeless classics.
Currently, they’re making overembellished tat and charging too much for it. No wonder customers are looking elsewhere. As for the BBC, reports that the BBC’s main evening bulletins could be obsolete within a decade as more people turn to their phones and iPlayer for
news comes as no surprise. Slowly damning itself into extinction, the BBC is politically-biased and rapidly losing out to others as regards quality, productivity and general coverage. Much like M&S, the BBC spends too much time chasing
an audience/customer who is not going to go there while taking traditional supporters for granted. Neither organisation has learned its lesson. Result: declining interest in what they have to offer. Unlike the BBC, M&S doesn’t have the cash cow of a compulsory licence fee, however. But one thing’s certain: both institutions need to start thinking long and hard about how they’re simply going to survive in the 21st century...

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME
DAVID WORBOYS FOOTBALL has been described as the beautiful game, presumably by comparison with the seemingly chaotic game of rugby. In the 50’s, the days of righthalves and centre-forwards, although the technical quality was still in its developing stages, it was an attractive game to watch. Today it could best be described as a spectacle of brilliant footballing skill marred by blatant gamesmanship. When I used to watch Fulham (and Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea) in the 50’s, the way to fend off a challenge was by dribbling (not spitting!), tackling or with the fair shoulder barge. Today anything goes to stop the opponent. We have had diving, writhing, elbowing, biting, head-butting and shirtpulling until, at the World Cup in Russia, hugging and wrestling, particularly in the penalty area. Some of these should be au-
FOOTBALL: Today anything goes to stop the opponent and sometimes should be a red card offence. tomatic red card offences. Otherwise, it may be a matter of time before rugby tackles, karate chops and close-up throttling infiltrate the ‘beautiful’ game. Today, many players and agents are paid obscene sums, often more than team managers, while transfer fees are at a patently absurd level. In terms of celebrity, prestige and wealth, top players equate to the film stars of the 50’s.
FIFA has been riddled with corruption while match-fixing involving players and referees, together with preferential treatment for certain big-name clubs (‘Fergie time’), has been fairly obvious. If they are losing, give them a penalty or redcard an opposition player. Among the scandals is the allocation of England’s venues in 1966. The best team, Portugal, played two matches at Old Trafford, two at Goodison and
I’m really worried about the future MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’M really worried about the future of the economy. Not so much for the multi-billion corporations but for the little guys that we called the ‘mom and pop’ stores back when I was in business. People working from home when they don’t have to be are not helping all the small businesses that exist on their custom. The hair salon, the small cafes and small independents are suffering and many will go bust. A lot of these people will not be able to get any help as they are self-employed and there is nothing in place for them. The black cab drivers in the UK are in a terrible position right now as are Uber and other official cab drivers. Many depend on ‘airport runs’ which are just not there any more. To add to the misery another weapon being used now is the fake reviews. Competitors are now buying fake reviews to damage other peoples’ businesses. Negative reviews can be pretty detrimental to a brand. It can destroy a repu-
tation in a matter of days or hours. It is possible, without a lot of effort via the internet, to find companies that will write fake reviews for a few cents each. I saw recently a small company in the UK that was doing great until a lot of bad reviews popped up online and with a few weeks they were ruined. They somehow managed to trace them all back to individuals working in India and being paid per review. It is illegal to do this in the USA, but I’m not sure if it’s outlawed in the UK. If not, it should be. OK something a little less serious that makes me very grumpy too. Bread is complicated. I don’t like normal sliced bread that has so many chemicals in it that it seems fresh for ages. Then one day you look at it and it’s now kryptonite green glowing in the cupboard. I like one we call five seedy bread that you can buy in a famous Spanish supermarket chain. But it has one major problem. It tapers at each end so you can only get two or three decent size sandwiches then a couple of small ones. The rest is useless and finishes up with two massive thick lumps. Why can’t it be made the same size all the way through? Will be on Talk Radio Europe tomorrow at 11.30am with Bill Padley being grumpy.

at short notice their semi-final against England was changed from Goodison to Wembley. Meanwhile, all England’s matches were played at Wembley with no disruption by travel. Then, in 1998 there was the mysterious unavailability of the world’s greatest player, Ronaldo, in the World Cup final against France, resulting in a home victory. In 2010 we had the scandal of the awarding of World Cup
venues to Russia for political reasons and to Qatar for cash. The new authority should consider measures to tidy up the sport and make it more attractive to watch again. For example, the penalty shoot-out has never been a suitable way to decide a match. After 90 minutes, if the scores are level, extra time should be played without goalkeepers. The more goals scored, the less likely the scores will be level after the extra halfhour. If they are, then sudden death (the golden goal) should be the solution. This would reflect the merits of the two teams and be more entertaining. As for substitutes, this is where the final minutes of a match can be so disruptive and, frankly, so boring. There should be no further substitutes after 80 minutes play and the total number for the match should be limited to four, barring genuine injury.

DEAR Euro Weekly News, Hi all, a big thank you for the pick-up point at ALGI supermarket on Calle Gibraltar in Calpe. It is great to have our favourite free newspaper back in our area again. We missed it during the lockdown. Online is ok but it is nice to have a paper to hold. Best wishes Dave Stockton Calpe

UK ministers fast-track mass Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan
Seeing sense Dear Euro Weekly News, I am a permanent resident in Mallorca. I would take the vaccine. It’s a matter of common sense really. Some protection is better than no protection. Your article about the vaccine (August 9). The English waiter should be sacked as a potential health hazard to others. Yours sincerely Phil Small
OUR VIEW Better safe than sorry PROTECTING the children of the world surely must be one of the most important things for many people, parent or not, something that makes us control our own habits and ways that we act. After all, as the song says “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.” Up until not long ago, news centred on a ‘child’, Greta Thunberg, lecturing us on how we must change our ways to protect future generations from climate change. Now we are faced with the confusion of doing what we are told is the best for our children, masking them, to keep them safe from Covid 19 or not forcing them to be masked and saving them from the psychological stresses and possible longlasting health damage that may occur. Many questions have been asked, from the simplest, how will I get my child to physically keep the mask on? What if they refuse? How can I monitor them keeping it on or keeping it clean? To the more serious, will some kind of stigma evolve from hiding their faces? Will it create problems with important communication as they grow? Is it a distraction from learning? We wish somebody had the answers to both of these sides of questioning. Right now, it is an added fear to the ones we have about keeping ourselves safe. We are forced to wear these masks when the packaging they come in tells us they cannot stop a spread of the virus. But isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? In the UK it is now compulsory for schoolchildren in higher education to wear masks in communal areas, but they do not need to in classrooms. Surely this bit of give and take or compromise is something we can handle for a while? Let’s push forward and make sure our children are the future and Covid becomes a thing of the past.

No bullies Hi Euro Weekly, I am so glad to see that you are actually accepting requests from readers about what news they would like to read. Unfortunately, it is true that bad news sells well and in reading your customers’ comments it is ironic that the ones that receive so many reactions on Facebook are the ones people want to argue about. Anyway, a little debate doesn’t hurt anyone as long as people realise it need not be personal. I do see some people going too far and wish they would just take it easy on each other, it does sometimes creep very close to bullying. I hope you have your best watchdogs at hand to dispose of those overstepping the line. It’s at times like these we should all have each other backs, not snapping at each other’s heels.

Say it loud Dear Euro Weekly News, Well done Leapy, nail on the head. I’m still sick and tired of criminals and thieves telling us how we ‘The all too silent majority’ should behave. Whether it’s mayors of London or other ‘Woke’ politicians and corporations telling us. Simon Briscoe, Dorset

Crafty plan Hola Leapy, The news seems to be full of the difficulties UK holidaymakers will have when they return if they plan to holiday in Spain. So, they are now crowded on to the beaches in the South West and the like and of course spending their holiday money in the UK instead of Spain. It's not rocket science but a crafty plan to boost UK coffers, in my opinion. Stay safe, Shirley Hunt

Famous quote
FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” Jim Morrison
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. However, don’t think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.
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. This is good for both your work and social life.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that autumn 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. At what seems to be an unsettled time, decisions need to be made and worked towards.
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. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.
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.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise 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. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.
Credit: Twitter
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life 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.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. Make this a week when you live for the moment and give full rein to your imagination.

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. As someone who values an element of challenge, it is enjoyable to know that unexpected times are ahead.
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented week, 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.

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.

Young people should feel free to open up about their Mental Health MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I HAVE suffered from bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder for the last nine years. I am on the road to recovery and learning how to manage my illness and living a fairly normal life. In opening up about my struggles in my weekly articles, I want to show young people that it’s okay not to be okay. I think it is especially hard on young people; they have a perception that they need to be emotionless, strong, brave, cool, and that they need to have their life sorted out at a young age. I think the world needs a real change. Luckily I am still here today to talk about these issues. We are getting to a place where people are able to open up a lot more. But not we’re quite there yet. Young people are affected by this on a daily basis . Yet we still do not have the resources to help people immediately in need. I was lucky enough to have supportive people in my life. A loving family. Lucky enough to still be here today, able to open up about my struggles. Unfortunately, at the time, my demons took over, I lost friends, isolated myself, self harmed, abused alcohol; I was living someone else’s life. A life that wasn’t my own, or should I say someone
was living it for me. I began my recovery through medication, therapy sessions with a phycologist, weekly visits with a psychiatrist. A well balanced system that worked for me. I stuck out counselling for almost four years, on and off. It helped me to grow strength and build back up my confidence. I am in a much better place now. There are still bad days. But they come and go. I am happy - I put on a front. I socialise, I laugh, I smile, I live. But this doesn’t mean I am indestructible. I am vulnerable and still battle EVERY DAY. This is what people need to realise: We do not know what is going on in people’s lives; what’s happening in their minds. For me - it was as simple as a chemical imbalance in the mind. That was all it took to change my life forever. It completely took over me, changed me. I wish when I was that young, hurting, fearing for my life, I should have spoken about it, about how I was feeling. I wanted a hand to hold but was to scared to ask for help. I realised I needed help a little too late, and this doesn’t have to be the case, we should speak up, nobody has to suffer alone. I want to live in a world where we stop judging, where we stop criticising and tearing each other apart with every little mistake; where everyone who experiences a mental health problem can turn to their family and friends without fear. I promised myself I will fight in every way to help make this possible. Now I want to pass my strength to the people who need that hand to hold in their dark times. We need to stand together and gain confidence to speak out! In every dark time there is a bright light. Never give up. Never surrender. Never lose hope.

Cyberbullying
#SAYNOTOCYBERBULLYING
DIONE LOCKYER CYBERBULLYING is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. Harmful bullying behaviour can include posting rumours, threats, sexual remarks, a victims’ personal information, or pejorative labels (ie hate speech).[2] Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behaviour and an intent to harm.[3] Victims of cyberbullying may experience lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of negative emotional responses including being scared, frustrated, angry, or depressed.[4] Social media is a part of many peoples lives, and with social media, comes trolls and cyberbullies. The statistics show that 77 per cent of students admitted they been bullied within their lifetime, with 44 per cent advising it has happened on the last 30 days. It now appears that it is not only teenagers and children that have become a victim of cyberbullying but grown adults too. A whopping 53 per cent of adults in Europe have confirmed that they have either experienced or witnessed cyberbullying in 2020. But do those who cause others pain understand the impact their words have on others? Should we now make it an illegal offence? Or do we try to educate those that cause the pain? The effects of cyberbullying can sometimes be fatal. The statistics of a study showed that 30 per cent of bullying victims have suicidal
thoughts, 10 per cent of those victims have attempted to take their own lives. How do we put a stop to this? The psychology behind cyberbullies is lack of self-worth and attention. It doesn’t matter whether it is negative or positive attention, people who take the time to pick holes in others, via an electronic device are so desperate for attention, they will go to any length to achieve it. Most suffer from a lack of confidence or other negative mindset issues, yet are too scared to face them. Many people do not like to admit to their flaws, they see it as a weakness. To change your mindset takes work and commitment, for some that is too hard therefore, the easier option is to point the finger at
others in judgement. The fact it, cyberbullying needs to be stopped! One loss of life, is one life too many. We are ALL responsible and can all do our part to #makeadifference. Be Mindful Before you eagerly comment on a public forum, ask yourself the question. Is this helpful? Is it necessary? is it kind? If the answer is NO to any of these scroll past. You never know the effects your words can have on others. You do not know what they are going through. The last thing you would want, is to know that your words caused someone to take their own life! If you witness it, speak up, but not with anger. Educate those who are causing the pain. By using education, rather than hate, I truly believe we can turn it around.
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.

G O L F I N T E R N AT I O N A L NERJA SOCIETY has been keeping busy and had the chance to play some great golf recently. They visited Los Moriscos on Friday, August, 21 and under a blazing sun accompanied by a warm breeze, the small field of 11 players played some good golf and improve their scores. The final scores were: 1st Place • Mark Fulton (6) 35 points 2nd Place • Morris Lightfoot (20) 35 points 3rd Place • Brian Burns (17) 33 points Socks • Ian Kemp (28) For their next outing, four teams set out to play a Texas Scramble on Monday, August 24, on a very humid day at Anoreta. The scores were very close, in
Los Moriscos Golf Club, Motril. fact the winning team was only 0.72 of a shot in front of the second team. The winning team consisted of Lola Monteros, Mike Bull, Grant Turner and Charles Camponovo, with a score of 62.12, a gross score of one under Par. The unlucky team that came second were; Penny Bentley Ennis, Tony Kensington, Peter Garner and John Millward. Good news, Las Gabia’s (Granada) have invited the GINS golf society to play there on Wednesday, November 18,
for the reduced price of €35.5 for walkers or €40 in a shared buggy. All those wishing to play this GINS favourite course, please email ginsaway dayrep@gmail.com. The next away day is at La Cala (Europa) on December 16 at 9.30am. Price is €42 in a shared buggy. As it is near Christmas this will be both a ‘Turkey Trot’ team game and individual. Great prizes and a festive flavour. There are 36 places available so get your name in quick.
REFEREE TRAINING SEVERAL weeks ago the Walking Football League advertised here for people to come forward to train as referees. With a new League Season starting in the autumn and extended to 10 teams it was decided we needed to recruit referees. Our notice here in the EWN attracted five applicants. We brought that down to three and finally we have one training at the moment and another due to commence training in two weeks time. With Steffen at Viñuela and Dave from the Walking Dead we will have a list of five fully trained referees led by Number One James Owen. With League Rules stating that a referee and two linesmen should officiate at every game the new referees are coming good at the right time. Brian Simmons is now refereeing at our sessions to gain experience. Brian is a qualified English referee and also referees seven-aside football. He is making good progress and will be ready to referee League games at the start of the season. In other matters the Elite Pathways Sports sponsorship offer was debated last Thursday when it was decided to put the vote to an email vote. With the close of votes on Monday August 31, the result will appear here in the EWN on Thursday, September 10. A significant date as that is when the Management Committee meet to discuss the latest Covid situation and whether the new League should commence at the beginning of October or again be postponed. Meanwhile most teams have continued training where private facilities are available with the exception of newcomers Nerja where no facilities private or public available.
