Thunderstruck Shot dead

by Joe Gerrard THIS is the moment a bolt of lightning struck an apartment building in Malaga City during thunder storms which hit the Costa del Sol on Sunday.

Lightning struck two buildings in Malaga City during the storm. A hotel and an advertising hoarding were also hit in Marbella, leading to the former catching fire.

Spain’s AEMET Met Office said a total of 1,261 bolts of lightning were spotted in the skies over Malaga Province on Sunday. Some 832 hit land while 429 struck out to sea.

Most hit between 9am and 1pm.

It comes as the Costa del Sol was hit by another round of heavy rain throughout this week and as other parts of Spain were left flooded following storms.

Sources from Andalucia’s 112 Emergency Services said they were called out a total of 32 times across Malaga Province due to heavy rain.

Incidents included the flooding of streets and homes, falling trees and other debris and problems caused for road traffic.

Towns affected included Benalmadena, Cartama, Estepona,

LIGHTNING STRIKE: The bolt knocked out the apartment’s power system.

Fuengirola, Mijas and Torremolinos as well as Malaga City and Marbella.

One bolt of lightning struck a 12-storey apartment building on Malaga City’s Calle Corregidor Francisco de Molina.

The bolt hit a television antenna causing electricity to surge through the building’s wiring and power systems and breaking appliances plugged into the mains. The tower block was plunged into dark-

ness after its lighting system was shorted.

Marbella’s Hotel Playa was also struck by the storm. Light-

ning hit a leaking gas pipeline which sparked a fire damaging its wiring, with firefighters called in to put out the blaze.

NATIONAL POLICE officers were tracing a suspect who remained at large at the time of going to press after shooting a man dead on an urbanisation in Marbella on Tuesday.

Police sources said they were alerted to the shooting on Tuesday evening. It is believed to have taken place on the Sierra Blanca urbanisation, one of the wealthiest areas of the city, at around 8.30pm.

Officers investigating the killing said their initial inquiries suggested the victim had been stood in a private garage between Calles Pizarro and Zabalea when the shooter approached him.

The suspect, who was riding a motorcycle at the time, opened fire and hit the victim several times before fleeing.

Some reports claimed the gunman had used an

AK47 assault rifle but this has not been confirmed by police.

Officers with the National Police’s UDYCO homicide squad were despatched to the scene after emergency services were alerted. They have now taken over the investigation and police believe it may have been gang-related.

The shooting is the latest in a spate of gun killings on the Costa del Sol. It comes after a man was shot in front of diners in a Torremolinos restaurant last month and another was gunned down in Estepona during the summer.

Police trade unions have requested more resources to tackle what they claimed was a crime wave sweeping the region. A government spokesperson said authorities had no plans to do so.

LEARNING LESSONS: The school’s initiative has helped pupils think of those less fortunate.

Top marks for school STUDENTS of St Anthony’s College have raised more than €1,300 for the ADIMI (Association for people with intellectual disabilities of Mijas) charity, thanks to their Halloween party.

Natalie Quero, one of the teachers at the school, said: “My Baccalaureate group organised an event in which a series of activities were put on including a castle of terror, and parents also contributed by making cakes. It is all for the cause of

ADIMI, which is very important for the students of this school.”

The president of ADIMI, Cristobal Perez, paid tribute to the collaboration and commitment that the school has shown over the past six years. “It is not only the money, which is very good for us, it is also the support and empathy of the pupils who understand that there are other children who have more difficulties than them in life,” said Mr Perez.

Mijas’ councillor for Social Services, Mari Carmen Carmona, emphasised how much the local authority values the cause, and said: “Everyone who went to the Halloween party had a wonderful time, and gave generously. The students are now more aware of the charity, and of social work too.”

The funds raised will help pay for the visit of speech therapists from Brazil in March.

EMERGENCY SERVICES were called out to Fuengirola last Friday and took a 22-year-old man to hospital after a fire broke out in a block of flats.

Several calls were made to the 112 emergency services line after the blaze began in the apartment block at around 7.20pm.

It began on the fifth floor of the Pasaji de las Rampas block of flats near the town’s promenade, emergency services said.

Firefighters along with Local Police and National Police officers and medical personnel were despatched to the building.

Personnel were able to get the 22-year-old out of the building and he was taken to the Costa del Sol hospital after inhaling smoke.

Nobody else had to be evacuated, emergency services said.

An investigation into the cause of the fire remains open.

Bank to pay A COURT in Malaga City has ordered one the country’s largest banks to pay a tax after Spain’s Supreme Court ruled financial firms and not customers should bear the cost. Santander is set to hand over €1,990 as a result of the ruling on the Tax on Documented Legal Acts, or ‘mortgage tax.’

Teacher assault ruling A COURT in Malaga City has sentenced a school student to six months in prison after finding her guilty of assaulting one of her teachers in Mijas.

Malaga City’s Second Criminal Court heard the student had tried to avoid taking an English exam at a Mijas school last February.

The defendant had protested to her teacher before then arguing and making inappropriate comments towards her.

Prosecutors said the defendant then assaulted her. Emergency services personnel had to be called in to treat the teacher’s injuries, the court heard.

The teacher brought the case to court with the help of the Workers’ Commission (CCOO) union, of which she is a member.

Felix Martin, secretary general of the union’s teaching division, said he was satisfied with the sentence and encouraged teachers who had suffered from similar attacks to come forward.

by Karl Smallman THE funeral for a British woman who died of a suspected heart attack while holidaying on the Costa del Sol is set to take place tomorrow (Friday).

Jackie Lee, 57, from Senghenydd in Wales, had been having dinner with her husband Colin when she told him she could not breathe.

The British mother-of-two told her husband: “I’m dying, tell the kids I love them,” before passing away.

The couple was one day into their holiday in Benalmadena when Lee was struck by a suspected heart attack last month.

Jackie’s husband Colin said the 57year-old had told him she felt sick and could not breathe. His first thought was that she was having a panic attack, he added.

“Within minutes of that we think she’d passed away. It was devastating,” Colin said.

Jackie’s family had to pay for her body to be repatriated back to Britain as th e c o u p le d id n o t ha ve holida y

Shop abuser arrested THE National Police in Spain have arrested a shop owner in Marbella for the alleged sexual abuse of a child.

A 50-year-old Paraguayan man is the suspect, and he initially made contact with the girl through WhatsApp. A police operation began when the victim’s cousin called the emergency services when he realised that she was locked inside a shop with the attacker.

Officers arrived to find that the store was completely closed, with no lighting on inside. After they repeatedly knocked on the door and called out, the suspect emerged protesting that nothing had happened, but the girl was found inside. The defendant had initially approached the girl as she was walking down the street.

His sexual abuse of the girl reportedly took place on numerous occasions over three years, always inside his shop.

A Go Fund Me page set up by family members to pay for the repatriation raised more than €14,850, exceeding the more than €11,210 goal.

The 57-year-old’s family said they w ould donat e t he di ff er ence t o t he Aber Valley charity which helps families in similar circumstances.

an extra effort to extend them to all squares and parks.

Estepona’s lights start on the same day, and the town has increased its use of LED lighting.

Although both Malaga and Marbella have had some Christmas lighting for several weeks now, they will hold their official openings on November 30.

RESIDENTS on the Costa del Sol are being exposed to harmful levels of pollutants which can increase the chances of heart attacks, strokes and an early death, according to data.

Figures from Spain’s Ecology Ministry reported in Spanish media show there is a high concentration of PM10 particles in the region’s atmosphere.

The Ecology Ministry figures also found there were high levels of ozone (O3) across Andalucia. Some cities such as Granada were also exposed to a harmful concentration of nitrous oxide.

An Ecology Ministry spokesperson told Spanish media figures showed there were slight improvements on pollution levels this year compared to the past decade.

Miguel Angel Ceballos, of the Ecologists in Action environmental activist group, said the situation was worse than a decade ago and the government was not doing enough to tackle emissions.

PM10 particles are made up of dust, ash, soot and other inorganic matter measuring between 2.5 and 10 micrograms. They are produced by heating systems, traffic, burning solid fuels such as coal and oil, construction and definition. A pollution tracking station in Marbella has recorded a particularly high concentration of PM10 in parts of the city. It is believed to have been caused by the large volume of traffic that passes through its roads.

Pollution risk

SMOG EFFECTS: The Costa del Sol is exposed to high levels of PM10.

Long term exposure to PM10 can cause increased coughing and wheezing, asthma attacks, bronchitis, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes and an early death in the worst cases.

Young children, the elderly and people with pre-existing lung or heart conditions are the most at risk from PM10 ex-

posure, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The WHO estimates between 1 and 3 per cent of heat-related deaths and between 2 and 5 per cent of lung cancer deaths in Europe are related to PM exposure.

Pollution experts estimate that around

27,900 died early in 2015 because of prolonged exposure to both PM10 and PM2.5, according to the latest available data.

“There is no evidence of a safe level of exposure or a threshold below which no adverse health effects occur,” a WHO report stated.

Holiday push TOURISM officials on the Costa del Sol have completed a campaign put on with a budget British airline to attract more holidaymakers from the country during the autumn.

The push for tourists saw the Costa del Sol’s tourism board work alongside Jet2holidays. The ‘high impact’ campaign included placing online advertisements on Jet2’s website in a bid to reach up to 37 million potential British customers in September and October.

Emails were also sent out to potential holidaymakers who lived less than an hour away from the Belfast, Birmingham, East Midlands, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Newcastle and Stansted airports.

Arturo Bernal, a director at Tourism Costa del Sol, said: “This campaign had a great impact on a priority market for the region.”

Costa Women’s Entrepreneurship Day

By Tara Rippin ALMOST 50 female entrepreneurs from a diverse range of businesses attended a collaborative networking event at Our Space in Marbella on Monday.

Costa Women, sponsored by the EWN Media Group, invited business women from across the Costa del Sol to attend a free, fun and relaxed evening to mark Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, providing a platform for making contacts, sharing knowledge and striking valuable friendships.

Organiser Ali Meehan said: “The evening of business networking provided an opportunity for our local women to come and share their businesses to a wider audience.”

Ali also launched her inspirational ‘Make It Happen’ planner 2019.

“The diary contains simple and effective tools to empower women to take charge of their lives,” she said. But the planner is more than a diary, it contains inspirational quotes, targets and goals, an opportunity to take account of achievements and create a future plan for further development.

Wellness coach Gemma Divine, of Herbalife Nutrition, credits Costa Women for the success of her business in Spain.

“Costa Women has kept me going here. I moved to Spain in March of last year and immediately went to a meeting, making lasting friends.

NETWORKING: Costa Women and potential new members.

PLANNER: Ali Meehan, Costa Women organiser, has launched an inspirational diary.

Within my network of clients, a lot come from Costa Women. For me it has provided amazing opportunities.

“Costa Women is great. These are entrepreneurial women who know what they want and support one another,” she said.

Representatives from fellow Costa Women sponsors My Lawyer in Spain and Currencies Direct were also present.

Patricia Ruiz of the former Marbella-based legal firm, said: “It’s great to spend the evening with professional women and meet new people.

The Costa Women members live here but have friends or people that they know who are coming to Spain or have inherited, and we can assist.”

Inara Guliyeva from the Fuengirola office of Currencies Direct, added: “I love coming to these events, meeting new people and getting the word out there that we can benefit and help people save money.”

FORECASTS: Oliver (inset) was speaking at a Madrid tourism event.

Tourist forecast A TOTAL of 81 million people from overseas are expected to have holidayed in Spain by the end of this year, 0.8 per cent less than in 2017.

Figures from the Ministry of Tourism predict tourism figures for this year will not exceed the 81.8 million seen by the end of last year. Both 2017 and 2016 broke records for the number of holidaymakers.

Tourism officials expect an increase in spending from tourists of 3 per cent by the end of this year, from €87 billion last year to around €90 billion this year.

Isabel Oliver, Spain’s Tourism

Minister, said the industry should focus on increasing its money making potential and spread its offering across different types of holidays.

“We must stop measuring tourism success on the number of visitors and focus more on income,” Oliver said while speaking at an industry conference in Madrid earlier this week.

“We also need to present ourselves as a quality destination with a degree of sophistication and a diverse offering. We have aspire to be number one in the quality sector as well,” Oliver said.

Spain is currently the fourth favourite destination for non-European Union (EU) tourists holidaying in the bloc behind France, Britain and Italy.

Oliver said Spain needed to attract visitors from emerging markets such as China. Around 515,000 Chinese travellers visited Spain last year out of 13.6 million that holidayed in Europe, according to industry statistics.

Lyu Fan, China’s ambassador to Spain who appeared at the Madrid conference, said he was “convinced” more people from his country would start to holiday in Spain.

‘Wikipedia narco’ sentence A SPANISH court has jailed a British man who allegedly updated his own Wikipedia page to list his crimes for 15 years after he was convicted of drugs trafficking.

The court in Alicante found Brian Charrington guilty of trafficking 192 kilograms of cocaine from South America into Spain from 2012 to 2013.

Charrington, from Teesside, appeared on Europe’s most wanted list of criminals prior to his arrest in 2013.

Police raided one of Charrington’s Costa Blanca homes which they claimed was where he ran his global operation from. Other wanted criminals were also allegedly staying in his properties.

Charrington became known as the ‘Wikipedia Narco’ over his alleged updating his own Wikipedia page to list the amount of drugs he had successfully smuggled into Spain.

Charrington was convicted of crimes against public health and money laundering.

He has been ordered to pay around €31.2 million in fines and his son Ray Charrington has also

Madrid is a large attractive building with a good size garden and a small swimming pool which will no doubt be welcomed by his wife Maria Antonia and their two children.

Simon Manley and Hugh Elliott have known each other in the past and the Foreign Office building in King Charles Street, London is not so large that senior civil servants don’t come across each other on a regular basis.

When the appointment was announced, Ambassador Manley tweeted ‘Hugh Elliot is a great friend and colleague who will be a great ambassador for our country.’

The response tweet from the Ambassador Designate was equally effusive thanking Simon Manley for his good wishes and saying ‘It will be a pleasure to represent Britain in Spain and when I take over next summer.’

British expatriates in Spain will rely on briefings from the current Ambassador and his staff in the lead up to the ‘divorce’ which may be hard, soft or without a deal and then for guidance from the new Ambassador who will be arriving as the Chinese proverb says ‘in interesting times.’

THE father of Kirsty Maxwell, who tragically lost her life in ‘suspicious’ circumstances following a fall from an apartment balcony in Spain has again hit out at ‘journalistic selective speculation.’

The Kirsty Maxwell Information Appeal said: “As a result of more media selective speculation regarding significant witnesses appearing in private at Benidorm Court, Spain, Kirsty’s dad Brian released this statement.” The statement is thought to focus on UK national papers.

Brian’s statement reads: “It’s been a very difficult few weeks for our family, encouraged by our knowledge that progress regarding confidential court led investigations into Kirsty’s death continues and the disappointment of having to read journalistic selective speculation about what is alleged to have been happening in private behind the closed doors of Benidorm Court.

“Whilst there have been irretrievable shortcomings in police investigations into Kirsty’s death, we as a family continue to place our trust in the Spanish legal system and our lawyer Lorena Soler Bernabeu re-

garding the live investigation led by a Spanish Judge which continues into Kirsty’s death.”

He went on: “My daughter Kirsty lost her young life in unresolved suspicious circumstances whilst on holiday in Benidorm in April 2017 and

there are people who stayed at My Pretty Payma/Apartmentos Payma and Hotel Presidente Benidorm, Spain with information who have not spoken out.”

Kirsty Maxwell, a 27-year-old from West Lothian, was on a hen

party with friends in Benidorm when she plunged to her death on April 29, 2017.

It is known Kirsty had been with friends before she apparently left them for a different hotel room occupied by five men she did not know.

Joseph Graham, Callum Northridge, Ricky Gammon, Anthony Holehouse and Daniel Bailey were part of a group of 50 men on holiday together at the time of Mrs Maxwell’s death.

The men, all from Nottingham, have given statements to Spanish police, but Mrs Maxwell’s family claim they ‘can’t grieve’ because they say the men’s stories do not add up.

In April the judge handling the case signalled she was close to ending her probe saying: “To date no new evidence that allows me to attribute the commission of a specific criminal act to the people under investigation has been obtained.”

However, the family has asked for any information to be sent to their confidential email address info@kirstymaxwell.com or phone / text (0044) 07376 040519.

Jenny explained: “It can be anything you can afford - a bag of rice or a can of food.”

She added: “The problem is I think a lot of expats don’t know what is happening and as many don’t speak Spanish they get a bit uncomfortable. I have seen people shooing away the volunteers and looking slightly embarrassed by it all.”

She said: “But really I know British people are very generous when it comes to charity and if they know what it is all about I am sure they would be all too willing to help” The Gran Recogida is a major event that happens each year. This year it runs from November 30 to December 1 and there will be many volunteer-run collections in supermarkets across Spain.

This year the target is to collect 22 million kilos of non-perishable food, with 130,000 volunteers helping at a total of 11,000 collection points.

NEWS EXTRA Speeding scooter FOOTAGE filmed by a taxi driver which appears to show two people travelling around 80 kilometres an hour on an electric scooter on a road in Barcelona has led to calls for the council to regulate the vehicles.

Death fall A POLICE helicopter was needed to recover the body of a young woman who fell 200 metres (600 feet) while on a walking excursion with a friend in the San Donato mountains in Navarra.

Savage sea A SERIES of 40 foot waves pummelled a seafront apartment block in Tenerife smashing the property’s balconies to smithereens, with the ferocity of storms taking people by surprise despite a severe weather alert.

Body found MEDICS were unable to revive a man whose body was found on a beach in Sotogrande, Cadiz, at 7am last Sunday, say Guardia Civil who have launched an investigation into the incident.

Man free A COURT in La Linea has released a man without charge after finding there was not sufficient evidence to suspect he had abused his 19-monthold son, while they continue to investigate him for alleged tobacco smuggling offences.

Four dead GUARDIA CIVIL have launched an investigation after four youths, aged between 18 and 19, died and two others were seriously injured in a crash between an SUV and a car on the A401 in Ubeda, Jaen, at 7.30pm on Monday.

Ticket ‘dig’ at Spain A PICTURE has emerged online of a Calatan hospital parking ticket which appears to describe Spain as an ‘exploiting country.’

Social media users spoke out about the ticket which one driver claimed to have received after being billed for parking at Barcelona’s Sant Joan de Deu de Manresa Hospital.

The ticket holder highlighted the address section of

the document which said the hospital was in the ‘exploiter country’ (Pais Explotador in Spanish).

The hospital said the use of the term on the ticket was down to human error.

Blitz, a Twitter user, posted: ‘This is unbearable and the government does nothing.’

‘The stupidity of the separatists has no limit,’ Mi otro yo, another Twitter user, said.

A spokesperson for Sant Joan de Deu hospital said the error was caused by someone forgetting to fill in the ‘country’ field on its car park ticket machines’ database.

Pais Explotador used in this context can also mean ‘operating country.’ The hospital said ‘Pais Explotador’was the default text in that field and would appear if left blank.

Making it through to the penultimate round during the programme’s Big Band week means the 37-year-old will also star in the reality shows tour.

Judges Simon Cowell and Ayda Field gave Danny, originally from Benidorm, a standing ovation at the end of the final Over 25’s contestant’s ‘amazing’ performance.

Cowell said he felt ‘really emotional’ throughout, and told Tetley he was a ‘total star for that.’

DANNY TETLEY: Through to the semi-finals.

His mentor Field proved how proud she was of his performance by embracing him excitedly.

Visibly emotional at having got so far in the talent show, Tetley said he was glad that he has been able to raise awareness for the Cleft Lip and Palate Association, representatives of

which were in the studio to support him. Tetley has attracted a sizeable following in Britain and among the Spain-based British expatriate community.

He has long appeared on stages in Benidorm and also made an appearance in the sitcom of the same name, as well as ITV’s This Morning.

Gender violence seminar SPANISH and French government and legal professionals will meet in Madrid next week to raise awareness about gender violence.

The event has been organised by the SpanishFrance Friendship Association, ‘Mujeres Avenir,’ in the wake of data which shows that by October this year, 43 women had been murdered in Spain, compared to 49 last year, according to the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality.

President of ‘Mujeres Avenir,’ and moderator of the event, which will mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women in the French Community, said: “Gender violence does not recede, it is increasing and that is why we have to continue working from aware-

ness and education, where the basis of the problem lies.”

Five important figures from the international scene currently working to help eliminate gender violence will attend the event at the Residence of France, on Tuesday, November 27, at 7pm.

They include the delegate of the Spanish government against gender violence, Pilar Llop; magistrate of French liaison in Spain from the Embassy of France, Frederique Porterie; a Burkinabe lawyer who is active in the rights of women and children, Liliane Dakoure-Damiba; head of the French office of equality Martine Jaubert; and Maria Jose Diaz Reyes, who coordinates the Solace for Local Development from Nicaragua.

BREXIT BRIEF

Move doubts THE head of Spain’s financial regulator has said the amount of companies relocating to the country following Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU) is not likely to be ‘spectacular.’

Sebastian Albella, head of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), said fallout from last year’s Catalan independence push continued to put some firms off moving to Spain.

There has not been the same level of coordination between the Spanish government and private firms as there has been in other EU member states, Albella added.

“We could have done a lot more when we were in a position to do so. It is a pity we have not worked harder,” Albella said. The ‘big winners’ for company relocation were likely to be Germany, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Ireland, he added.

Albella’s comments come as stock market figures show firms in Spain’s IBEX 35, the index of the country’s largest companies, have been hit by Brexit uncertainty.

The value of Santander, Telefonica, Ferrovial, IAG and Sabadell, the IBEX companies most exposed to Brexit due to their British operations, have all fallen since the start of this year.

The tourism IT provider Amadeus is the only leading firm whose value rose, increasing by 11 per cent this year.

BREXIT EXTRA

The fight begins

Business meeting PRIME MINISTER Theresa May told business leaders at the CBI conference on Monday her Brexit deal would work for the whole of Britain while Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told attendees his party would not stand for a no deal withdrawal.

By Joe Gerrard SPAIN has emerged as the latest threat to the British Prime Minister’s European Union (EU) Withdrawal Agreement as she begins the task of marshalling support for the deal at home.

EU member states have closed ranks since a draft agreement was reached, but Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez threatened to sink the deal over Gibraltar.

“As things stand today if there are no changes regarding Gibraltar, Spain will vote no on Brexit,” Sanchez said.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Josep Borrell has asked the EU to clarify provisions for Gibraltar in the deal.

Madrid reportedly wants to continue talks over the British enclave’s future, which Spain claims sovereignty over, between the two countries rather than at an EU level.

The threat comes as Prime Minister Theresa May struggled to sell her draft agreement to sceptical Brexit hard-liners in her own party and Parliament as a whole.

EWN 23

Flying high

ROCKED: Sanchez (inset) said Spain could veto the deal over Gibraltar.

The cabinet officially backed the deal but her Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and others resigned in protest over it.

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), which props up May’s minority government in the House of Commons, said they would not back the deal as it stands.

Several Conservative Members of Parliament committed to a ‘hard Brexit’ have said they will vote

May’s deal down.

Jeremy Corbyn said it would not have the backing of Labour, meaning May lacks enough Parliamentary backers to get the deal through. Her only hope would be to win over Labour MPs in leave-supporting seats and from the party’s right.

Didier Reynders, the Belgian Foreign Minister, said: “Here the deal will survive. We are waiting for the same situation in London.”

BUDGET airline easyJet has said demand for flights from Britain to Europe during the first half of 2019 is slightly higher than during the same time this year despite Brexit, which it called ‘promising.’

Staff claims THE chief executive of aircraft engine maker Rolls-Royce has said Brexit is starting to drive staff from other European Union (EU) countries away from the company, with Warren East adding the firm is stockpiling key parts in case of a no deal withdrawal.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

HERE in Spain there is a general number for all emergencies, 112.

No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles without a Spanish SIM card.

The responders speak a number of languages, and you can also fax or SMS 112.

In addition, there are individual emergency numbers, depending on the type of assistance you need.

It’s a good idea to keep a printout of them handy, in your bag or wallet, in the home and in the car.

And it can’t hurt to have a few helpful Spanish medical/emergency terms written down, just in case you don’t get an English-speaking member of staff.

National Police, also known as National Police Corps (Cuerpo Nacional de Policia, CNP), deals with criminal offences and public order in towns and cities, and can be contacted by calling 091 or 902 102 112.

The latter was set up for non-Spanish to report burglaries, car theft or a break-in when documents and belongings are lost or stolen. Available in English from 9am to 2pm, all week long, the service is also available in French, German and Italian.

Once the telephone report is made,

claimants have 48 hours to check and sign their statement at the police station of their choice.

In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 091 at the time, then go directly to a police station to make a report.

The Guardia Civil is a military force which operates mostly in rural areas and is responsible for drug offences, fatal car accidents, robberies and murders, and can be contacted on 062.

Local Police (Policia municipal) cover their local town or city area for traffic offences and control, lost property and crimes such as theft and neighbourhood disputes. You can reach them on 092.

And a special helpine, 016, has been set up specifically to report instances of gender violence.

For an ambulance (ambulancia) and health emergencies, call 061 or 112, and in the case of a fire call the fire brigade (cuerpo de bomberos) on 061 or 112.

For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24- hour helpline 900 100 333.

DEMONSTRATIONS: Feminists disrupted a pro-Franco event in Madrid.

Franco protests Two rallies against former dictator

By Joe Gerrard TWO separate groups of protesters gathered at the Valley of the Fallen near Madrid and in the Spanish capital to rally against Spain’s former dictator Francisco Franco last Sunday.

Demonstrators gathered outside the former dictator’s burial site at the controversial mausoleum demanding that his remains be exhumed and moved elsewhere.

Feminist activists also disrupted a Madrid event organised by Franco sympathisers to mark Franco’s death.

Protesters rallied outside the Valley of the Fallen from Sunday morning to call for plans from the ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) to exhume Franco’s remains to go ahead.

About 100 people turned out for the rally, according to the Madrid Region Forum for Memory who organised the event.

The demonstration took place after around 50 people had gathered at the mausoleum for a religious service in support of the ‘family unit.’

Miguel Muga, the head of the Madrid Region Forum for Memory, said the protesters were calling for an exhumation that was now a day to day concern for

Spanish society.

“We want to demand that the government of Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is no longer blackmailed by certain sections of the church and fascists disguised as democrats in the implementation of the exhumation plans,” Muga said.

The Benedictine monks who run the Valley of the Fallen said their mass took place there every Sunday.

Their protest comes as the leftist Podemos party called for the cross at the Valley of the Fallen to be removed.

The Francisco Franco Foundation, a group which promotes the former dictator’s legacy, said plans to exhume his remains were unlawful and amounted to ‘desecration.’

Separately in Madrid, activists with the FEMEN feminist group stormed an event organised by falangists (Franco supporters and fascists) to mark the anniversary of Franco’s death. The Falangists had met at the plaza near Madrid’s Carrer Carlos III. Topless protesters with slogans including: ‘Legal Fascism, national shame’ and ‘It’s not patriotism, its fascism’ written on their chests rallied while the falangists held their commemoration.

Police kept to the two groups separate and some FEMEN members were escorted away.

Five years to report assaults FEMALE victims of assault in Spain take an average of more than five years to report crimes to the police, a Supreme Court judge has claimed.

Vic e nte M a gro s a id w ome n w a ite d s o long to tell authorities about assault cases because they believe society and the justice system will not help them.

It comes as the General Council of the Judiciary’s Observatory on Domestic a nd G e nde r Viole nc e ha s published a guide on how authorities can best care for assault victims.

Advice in the new guidebook inc lude d a llow ing women to record their testimonies or to appear in court and police interviews via video link to avoid unnecessary suffering.

NEW GUIDELINES: Authorities want to ensure female assault victims are properly cared for.

Magro said it was ‘fundamental’ that female victims of gender violence and assault did not feel at risk of institutional ‘abuse’ when r epor t i ng cr i m es. They should also be treated properly when reporting such incidents, the judge added.

Magr o sai d t he newl ypublished guide on gender violence should help to improve awareness among officials in the justice system on how best t o l ook af t er victims. Other positive developments in the Spanish justice system included the creation of specific courts t o deal wi t h gender vi olence, Magro added. Spain was the first country in Eu-

r ope t o est abl i sh such courts.

The j udge’s com m ent s come as Spain’s justice system has come under fire this year for what some claim is its bias against female victims.

Protests erupted across Spain after five defendants were cleared of rape in connection with the assault of an 18- year- ol d wom an i n Pam pl ona dur i ng t he Running of the Bulls festival.

They were convicted of the lesser charge of sexual assault and further demonstrations took place after they were bailed pending an appeal.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS

Mulling early poll CREDIT: ENAIRE, via Twitter

By Joe Gerrard POLITICIANS across Spain jumped on comments from a senior official this week in which he let slip that the date of the next general election may be brought forward.

Jose Luis Abalos, the left-leaning Partido Socialista’s (PSOE) Organisational Secretary, said the party had not ruled out holding a ‘Super Sunday’ on May 26. The move would see municipal, regional, national and European elections held on the same day.

Speaking during a visit to the Moroccan capital of Rabat on Monday, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez did not confirm or deny early election speculation when pressed.

He said Abalos had made a ‘common sense’ suggestion and added it was within the Prime Minister’s powers to decide when an election would be held.

Sanchez’s comments mark a change in tone and are significant because he has repeatedly and explicitly ruled out bringing elections forward from their current date.

A national vote has to be held no later than Sunday July 26, 2020.

Facing a legacy

‘SUPER SUNDAY’: Abalos (left) said elections could be held next May. Leading figures from other parties were quick to respond to the remarks. Pablo Casado, leader of the conservative Partido Popular (PP), called on Sanchez to hold elections ‘immediately.’

He added his party was ‘ready to win’ when he did.

Ines Arrimadas, spokesperson for the centrist Ciudadanos, echoed Casado and said Sanchez should hold a vote as soon as possible.

Pablo Enchenique, the leftist Podemos’ Organisational Secretary, said the party’s

governing body would meet tomorrow (Friday) to decide on a course of action.

Sanchez’s decision this week not to rule out a ballot could be interpreted as a realisation that the ruling PSOE’s position in Parliament leaves it with little room for manoeuvre.

Its casual relationship with the small regionalist parties who banded together with the PSOE to oust Mariano Rajoy’s PP government in June has not survived into the autumn. Some have ruled out backing the PSOE’s budget for next year.

AN overseas visit by the Prime Minister last week led the leader of Spain’s conservative opposition party to muse on the country’s colonial past.

Pablo Casado, leader of the Partido Popular (PP), said last Saturday that Spain had not sought to colonise its former imperial possessions. His comments came as Pedro Sanchez and King Felipe travelled to Guatemala for the 12th Ibero-American Business Meeting in Antigua.

“We did not colonise, what we did was to have a bigger Spain,” Casado said.

He added many countries in Latin America, which were colonised by Spain from the 16th century onwards, had good relations with the ‘mother country.’

The comments expose the difficulty Spain shares with other former imperial powers in Europe over confronting their colonial legacy. Sanchez will have been keen to present Spain as a state among equals while meeting with his Latin American counterparts. A trip to Morocco this week, another former Spanish colony, had much the same tone.

Casado’s comments reveal a tendency for those on the right particularly to dwell on an empire long-since consigned to history.

Poll tracker: Partido Socialista (PSOE): 26.9 per cent, 107 seats Partido Popular (PP): 25.8 per cent, 101 seats Ciudadanos: 20.4 per cent, 67 seats Unidos Podemos: 17.3 per cent, 51 seats Result: PSOE largest party, no overall control.

Court strikes ALMOST 4,200 judges and prosecutors walked out of courts across Spain on Monday in a national strike over pay rates, working conditions and the running of Spain’s justice system.

The strike saw almost 3,230 judges and more than 970 prosecutors take part, according to trade unions. It is the second strike on such a scale this year.

Judges including Andres Martinez Arrieta of the Supreme Court said in a joint statement: “We are calling for essential reforms needed so that the courts can properly fulfil the constitutional function that corresponds to them.”

The Ministry of Justice issued a statement which only confirmed that almost 19 per cent of staff had taken part in the walkout.

Those on strike said they wanted the government to strengthen judicial independence, modernise its administration and improve working conditions.

The strikers have staged walkouts for the second time because talks with the government earlier this year failed to secure changes, unions said.

Paedophile ring bust AN international network of child pornography involved in producing and distributing material in 27 countries has been identified, and 14 arrests made in Spain.

A further four suspects are being investigated, and the identities of more than 400 ‘users’ who viewed the images on WhatsApp groups have been passed on to Europol and Interpol.

The Guardia Civil worked with the European agencies to identify those allegedly involved in circulating images in Cadiz, Galicia, Barcelona, Madrid and Salamanca.

During the operation, officers seized files from a location in Pontevedra, which contained ‘extremely crude images of children from one to 15 years old having sexual relations with adults and even with animals.’

They also identified 420 users who had shared the images.

The investigation, known as ‘Tygra’ began in October of last year, during which 15 home searches were made.

During these raids, officers confiscated 37 mobile phones, eight computers, 15 hard drives, four cameras and 11 optical media with extremely crude images of

children, in ‘explicitly pornographic situations.’

After verifying that the ‘illicit activity’ was not limited to Spain, the Guardia Civil has provided Europol and Interpol with the locations of all of the identified users.

The source added: “The operation remains open in order to thoroughly analyse all the material intervened in order to determine the existence of a possible crime net-

work involved in the production of paedophile material, to learn the identities of the victims and find out, where appropriate, possible connections with other users.”

The operation is being carried out by the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police of the Command of the Pontevedra Guardia Civil. The case has been delivered to the Court of Instruction Number 3, Cangas.

ARRESTS: Four people suspected of robbing ATMs are being held (archive pic).

FEMALE SUFFRAGE. Women first cast their ballots in 1933.

Women vote anniversary WOMEN headed to the polls to vote in a Spanish election for the first time 85 years ago this week.

Politicians including Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister have issued messages to mark the anniversary. Women first voted in national elections on November 19, 1933.

Carmen Calvo, Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister, said on Twitter the participation of women in the democratic process brought ‘so much’ to it.

“Many thanks to all those who fought to open this path of justice and equality,” Calvo said.

The Constitution of Spain’s Second Republic, which came into being in

1931, stated that women could stand in Parliamentary elections but could not vote.

The women’s suffrage movement in Spain was spearheaded by Clara Campoamor, a member of the leftist Partido Radical.

Campoamor attempted to get votes for women, along with divorce rights and legal equality in child custody cases, into the young Republic’s new Constitution.

Campoamor said in a speech at the time: “How can it be said that women need time to demonstrate their capacity to vote? Have they not already fought for the Republic?”

Women’s suffrage was debated and voted on in Parlia-

ment and it passed by a margin of 161 votes in favour to 121 against.

Campoamor was opposed by fellow female politician and leftist Victoria Kent who argued women needed time to be sufficiently educated to be able to vote.

The measure was passed in 1931 but women were not able to cast their ballots until elections in 1933. Nearly seven million did so in an election that also saw Campoamor voted out of Parliament.

Women would vote one more time, in 1936, before the dictatorship of former dictator Francisco Franco ended democracy in Spain until its restoration in 1977.

Suspected bank robbers held A GANG of four people suspected of belonging to a group which specialises in robbing banks using explosive devices to burst ATMs, were arrested in Madrid on Monday.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, the accused were detained after National Police followed the ‘trail’ of two people who were arrest-

ed in August, as part of an investigation into an ‘increase in this type of robbery around the capital.’

The first two suspects were arrested after they abandoned high-end vehicles, which had been stolen and are believed to have been used during robberies.

The remaining two were arrested at their respective

homes in Yepes, Toledo, and Madrid.

An interior spokesperson said that during searches at the properties, officers recovered stolen money, around €1,000 in fake two euro coins, 150 marihuana plants and pyrotechnic equipment.

The investigation is still underway.

Spain Atlantis claim Mythical city may have lain off Spanish coast RESEARCHERS working in southern Spain have claimed ancient ruins lying off the country’s coast could be the last remaining remnants of the lost city of Atlantis. Flooded circles as well as stone rubble lying in a beach in Cadiz Province, Andalucia, may once have been part of the settlement, experts said.

The research firm Merlin Burrows has studied satellite images of both areas, analysing them alongside ancient sources to investigate the Atlantis link. The results form part of the upcoming documentary Atlantica.

Tim Akers, a maritime historian with Merlin Burrows, said researchers had found traces of ancient cement never before detected in such ruins.

These and other tests pointed to the conclusion that the city, long thought to be mythical, may have in fact existed

off Spain, Akers added.

“The results of the tests prove the age of the finds are older than Roman and Greek and that they were more advanced,” the historian said.

Michael Donnellan, a documentary filmmaker and the producer of Atlantica, said filming the find was ‘life

changing.’

“The discoveries are spellbinding and inspiring. I grew up learning about the legend of Atlantis and I am thrilled I could record its discovery.

“It is a shining example of how complex and advanced early civilisations were,” Donnellan said.

MYTH CLAIM: Atlantis has traditionally been considered legendary.

Some of the earliest mentions of Atlantis come from the writing of the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato approximately 2,600 years ago.

He said the city existed somewhere near the Pillars of Hercules, the modern-day Strait of Gibraltar, thousands of years before his own time.

His and other accounts state the city was lost due to a flood or catastrophic event leaving it submerged underwater, with most having dismissed the story as myth.

Central to the latest claims are the discovery of the ruins of what researchers claimed were the legendary harbour walls of the city. The Merlin Burrows team said its dimensions matched those described

by Plato.

Other theories state the ruins were built by the ancient Tartessian culture, a civilisation that existed in the southwest of the Iberian peninsula before the arrival of foreign settlers.

DRIVERS in Spain have been warned to watch out for robbers who are targeting cars with eggs and forcing drivers to a stop to clean the windscreen before striking.

Footage from Axarquia in Andalucia posted online last week appears to show a gang throwing eggs at cars travelling in the opposite direction.

The alleged robbers hope the drivers will use their windscreen wipers to clear the mess but that action actually makes their vision worse and forces the vehicle to pull over to a halt.

And that is when a second vehicle, travelling in the same direction as the ‘egged’ car swings into action.

Peter Cackett, who shot the video, said: “ Wa t c h t h e c a r t h a t threw the egg and then observe the one parked on the right going down the hill waiting for me to pull over. “ Yo u s e e m e p a s s h i m , notice he has his brake lights on, ready to follow me which he did.”

Road robbery warning EGGY MESS: Amazing dashcam footage to highlight robbery warning on Spain’s roads.

Peter said he was travelling on the A-356 from El Puente, Alcaucin, past the lake at Viñuela, going down towards the coast and it occurred before he got to Trapiche.

Police have advised drivers to slow down safely to assess whether there is any visibility through their windscreen if an egg is thrown at them.

Drivers should not at-

tempt to wash it away with windscreen wipers as it will make visibility worse, officers said.

“If it is safe to do, drive slowly away from that location to a built-up, well-lit area where there are people about, before you get out your car to clean the windscreen,” police said.

T h e U K ’s F o r e i g n a n d Commonwealth Office travel advice for Spain says: “Be aware of ‘highway pirates’ who target foreign-registered and hire cars, especially those towing caravans.”

Depopulation stats

by Joe Gerrad MORE than 60 per cent of Spanish settlements have less than 1,000 people living in them and are home to 3.2 per cent of the country’s population, government figures show.

The National Institute of Statistics (INE) data shows the majority of Spanish people are concentrated in large cities. It comes as the government’s Minister of Territorial Planning said recently that falling numbers of people living in small rural towns and villages was the ‘biggest challenge’ facing the country.

INE data showed that regions in Spain’s interior were bearing the brunt of the country’s rural depopulation trend.

Around 86 per cent of towns in the Aragon region, 627, have less than 1,000 people living in them. About 55 per cent of people in the region live in two cities, Zaragoza and Huesca, according to the INE. The same statistics showed more than half of the urban areas in seven of Spain’s autonomous communities (regions) have populations of 1,000 people or less. These are Aragon, Castilla y Leon, Castilla La Mancha, Cataluña, Ex-

DECLINING NUMBERS: Populations in many rural Spanish towns are falling. tremadura, La Roija and Navarra.

Almost nine out of every 10 towns in Castilla y Leon, more than 2,000, are home to 1,000 people or less.

The same figure for Castilla La Manca was almost 70 per cent, for Cataluña it was 52 per cent, for Extremadura 56 per cent, La Rioja 84 per cent and Navarra, almost 70 per cent.

The figures come as the government announced measures to help tackle the issue, including an €80 million fund to help create jobs for young people in small rural towns.

Meritxell Batet, the government’s Territorial Planning Minister, said Madrid was also drawing up Spain’s first national strategy to tackle the issue.

“Living in the rural world is not a failure but quite the opposite because there can also be innovation, dynamism and momentum,” Batet said.

Depopulation continues to be an issue for small Spanish towns as young people move to cities in search of work leaving councils with less in tax revenues for local services.

Toxic pillow death A WOMAN and her pet dog have been found dead in an apartment in southern Spain and first indications are that they were poisoned by toxic gas from a small cigarette burn in a pillow.

The 60-year-old woman and her pet were found lying motionless on a bed, in a closed room, in Sevilla after she didn’t answer a call and emergency services were alerted.

Neighbours reported a strong smell of gas and residents were evacuated by the police while firefighters conducted a search of the building but found no sign of a leakage.

But on closer inspection of the death scene a cigarette burn was found in a pillow on the bed.

The initial hypothesis suggests that the burn could have generated a toxic gas.

Greenpeace palm oil protest SIX Greenpeace activists who were allegedly detained by a ship captain have been released by Spanish authorities in Algeciras.

The environmental group claim that six protestors against the palm oil cargo of the Stolt Tenacity were detained by the ship’s captain and the activists were held in a cabin. They say he changed the course of the ship that was heading to the Netherlands once it had reached Portuguese waters to return to Spain.

Greenpeace say the palm oil comes from the deforestation of the jungles of Indonesia and the cargo is being conveyed for Wilmar International, the largest palm oil merchant in the world.

They went on to say the group of activists, from Ind o n e s i a , G e r m a n y, t h e United Kingdom, France, Canada and the United States, climbed aboard the

ship in a peaceful manner to protest against the destruction of the jungle in Indonesia.

Before being arrested, they displayed banners with messages in English that read: ‘Save our rainforest’, ‘Drop dirty palm oil’, ‘Let’s save our rainforest’ and ‘Let’s leave the dirty palm oil’.

The group say the captain had been previously informed of the peaceful nature of the protest by the crew of the Greenpeace ship Esperanza.

Greenpeace claim that tropical deforestation produces more greenhouse gas emissions per year than the entire European Union, surpassing all countries except the United States and China. In October 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change called for an immediate end to deforestation to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.

Baby donkey death A BABY donkey that was found dumped in a plastic bag has died despite the valiant efforts of volunteers who did everything they could to save him.

The sad news was broken by the Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre near Rojales on the Costa Blanca.

They told how the little donkey was originally found by a man walking his dog in Las Herredades ‘dumped in the countryside in a plastic bag, like a piece of rubbish.’

He was rushed to the Hospital Veterinario San Vicente CPVR - in a critical state, unable to stand on his legs.

The poor little animal was suffering from pneumonia with blood clots into his lungs and put on a drip and on antibiotics.

But the donkey could not survive. The centre said: “We are all terribly shaken by this loss and by the horrendous condition he was when found.”

“This baby donkey obvious-

If you look at pictures of his face you can see the markings where bail twine has been made as a halter and cut into his face.

by Tara Rippin SPAIN has joined forces with Italy and France to stamp out two exotic species of beetle that invade parts of the Mediterranean.

The invasive bark and ambrosia beetles, Xylosandrus compactus and Xylosandrus craussiusculus, wreak havoc by drilling tunnels in trees and young shrubs, causing the drying and death of branches and sometimes the whole tree.

The University of Alicante (AU) is involved in the ‘Samfix’ project, which is cofinanced by the European Commission.

The objective is to protect more than 42,100 hectares of forest in the Mediterranean included in the Natura 2000 where these beetles are present.

Since 2011, experts in

entomology at the university have been detecting and analysing the damage caused by these beetles in Italian and French forests and parks.

Attacks were identified on some carob trees in the province of Valencia for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula in 2016, specifically in El Pla de les Clotxes residential area, Benifaio, and near the El Tello Municipal Natural Park in Llombai.

According to AU, the insects perforate tunnels in young branches and trunks of host trees where they cultivate symbiotic fungi, known as ragweed fungi, from which they feed.

The attacked plants show symptoms such as wilting, death of branches, branch rupture and generalised decay.

In Valencia researchers registered the drying of

branches and the death of branches and, even the whole carob tree.

The Samfix project aims to establish effective protocols for prevention, early warning and rapid response to eradicate or contain the current invasions of these beetles, as well as avoid future expansions.

These protocols will be tested in six areas of Europe, located in Spain, Italy and France.

According to the coordinator of the Spanish team and researcher of the Department of Ecology of the UA, Diego Gallego, trapping networks will be installed in the Municipal Natural Park of El Tello, in March 2019.

These traps will constitute warning networks for new infestations and will serve to develop eradication and/or containment protocols.

‘High beam’ economics SPAIN’S Prime Minister has called for a ‘high beam’ economic policy that takes into account future generations while on a visit to Central America.

Pedro Sanchez, who was speaking at the 12th annual Ibero-American Business Meeting in the city of Antigua in Guatemala, said long-term economic planning should also take the environment into account.

The meeting comes as part of the 26th Ibero-American summit, an annual gathering of the heads of government from the world’s Spanish and Portuguesespeaking countries.

By Joe Gerrard Sanchez said: “We have to develop an economic policy with high beams, thinking above all of the generations of today and tomorrow.

“The generations that follow us have the same right as we do to enjoy a planet like the one that we are now treading on and breathing in,” he said.

Sanchez also highlighted his government’s commitment to gender equality.

Rebeca Grynspan, the General Secretary of the Organisation of Ibero-American states, praised Sanchez for his appoint-

ment of a female-majority cabinet, among other measures.

Sanchez said he was pushing to open a debate in Europe about gender equality in the business world. Several European countries have set targets of ensuring company boards are 30 per cent female by the early 2020’s.

“Gender equality is of vital importance. We cannot squander the talent of 50 per cent of our societies,” he said.

It comes as Spain’s ruling left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) has unveiled measures to equalise maternity and paternity leave among other plans.

SPANISH car firm SEAT’s operating profit rose by €237 million between January and September this year, an increase of 54.4 per cent on the same period last year.

The company said the increase was driven by higher sales of more expensive cars and better equipped models.

Revenues also rose during the same period by 6.7 per cent to more than €7.7 billion, up from about €7.2 billion. The turnover was the highest in the firm’s history.

RECORD LEVELS: The Bank of Spain building in Madrid.

SPANISH government debt rose by almost €12 billion in September to around €1.18 trillion, a record high according to data from the country’s central bank.

The Bank of Spain said the national debt was now equivalent to 98 per cent of Spain’s gross domestic product (GDP).

The September increase means that Spain’s debt has risen month-on-month twice consecutively. The €1.2 trillion figure also tops the previous record of €1.16 trillion

set in June. Public debt grew by €41.5 billion, or 3.6 per cent, from September 2017 to the same month this year according to the Bank of Spain’s data. Central bank officials said the growing debts of Spain’s autonomous regions partly drove the increase.

Their debt burdens grew by 2.3 per cent last September compared to the same month in 2017 and now stands at more than €291 million. Welfare spending increases also contributed to the increase, the Bank of Spain said.

Bank ruling ALAVA’S Provincial Court has ruled that Kutxabank must end a €2 charge on each deposit made into clients’ accounts, upholding a previous ruling from the First Commercial Court of Vitoria which found the practice was ‘abusive.’

Value fall THE Abengoa energy firm is now worth less than €60 million on the IBEX Spanish stock exchange, a historic low that comes four years after the company’s capital stock was worth an estimated €4 billion.

Poverty threat despite recovery SPAIN’S economic recovery since the financial crash is well documented, but impressive growth rates have failed to make a dent in the number of people struggling to make ends meet despite being in employment.

Labour ministry figures show a combination of low wages and reliance on temporary contracts is keeping nearly one in six workers stuck below the poverty line.

Spain also has the European Union’s highest pro-

portion of workers at risk of poverty 13.1 per cent, after Greece and Romania.

The country’s economic downturn sparked a ‘freeze on wages.’ Salaries did not recover when the economy returned to growth because unemployment has remained high.

The jobless rate is the second-highest in the eurozone after Greece despite falling from a peak of nearly 27 per cent in 2013 to 14.5 per cent in September.

Tall stories that just aren’t true LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT JUST when you think you’d heard it all… this week’s blurb comes to you all the way from sunny Fulham SW6. It is a beautiful autumn day, the leaves are piling up in a multitude of magnificent hues and the sun is beaming down from a pale blue cloudless sky.

Unfortunately the ol’ boy is writing this from his sick bed. I’m just laying here with a temperature, feeling like death, listening to the vaguely muffled voices of people, wafting up from the street as they go about their Sunday rituals.

The fact that I’ve heard not one word of English so far is not going to influence this week’s piece one tiny bit, promise! No, what I have done of course, is tune in to the EWN online. As ya do. And (sigh) I really do feel it’s once again time to set the record straight.

Last week, word reached me on Mallorca (from the council offices no less) that they were under the impression I had served a prison sentence for murdering my first wife! The same week, a close friend confided in another, that they had always been under the impression I had indeed committed murder and done time for it. Well I can categorically inform all concerned that, although I did serve time for an affray in a

SYMPATHY: Leapy has previously stated his sympathy for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire. pub 40 years ago, (an event well chronicled) these rumours are complete rubbish and, to be quite honest, I do often find them quite amusing.

These tall stories are usually embellished by the narrators to make as much impact as possible on the listener and are, to my way of think-

ing, fairly harmless and don’t bother the ol’ boy one iota.

Not in the same category however was the missive printed on last week’s letters page. It is plainly libellous and I should have certainly been given the opportunity to ask for proof of the insinuations. The letter stated that in a past

column Leapy wrote. ‘In my opinion the victims of the Grenfell Tower block disaster would have rather died than be woken up at that ungodly hour.’ Well I can quite categorically inform all involved that I would never even consider writing something as evil and inappropriate as a remark like that.

The only way that would have ever even possibly got into the column, would have been as an example of my disgust at people who could make such distasteful jokes in the wake of such tragedy; and even then I am pretty certain I would have found it too abhorrent to include in my piece. Sometimes these rumours can be taken just that little bit too far and this accusation has done just that.

Unless it can be proved and the column in question produced I demand an immediate apology from the writer or Leapy’s wrath will be invoked beyond peril.

Just to put minds at rest that they may have been have been hobnobbing with a murderer, I’m really looking forward to spending Christmas with my Irish family, which of course also includes my first wife. Kicking and very much alive. T’be sure, T’be sure!

Keep the Faith.

Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

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

TECH FOR THE TIMID SMALL is beautiful says the 70’s slogan - though the anatomical enhancement offers appearing daily in my Inbox definitely suggest otherwise.

Although Microsoft is no longer the world’s richest tech company (Apple has €250 billion in the piggy-bank it simply can’t spend), hundreds of millions of people worldwide still pay for the monster Microsoft Office suite.

Yet we’re awash in free software, and in 2018 much of it is now as good as the stuff you buy.

Take the latest FreeOffice which many reviewers say matches its bloated Microsoft rival. Entirely compatible with MS Office formats, at just 400 MB it weighs in at a mere fraction of the size and at none of the price.

Choose which or all of the three programs it contains to install, hit go and it’s done in a trice. Last time I installed MS Office I had to make tea, twice.

Neither is FreeOffice alone as a perfectly valid alternative. Libre-

Deal or no deal? It’s free Why pay good money for software costing nothing, asks Terence Kennedy

A SWEET SUITE: With no hidden costs.

Office and OpenOffice have been around for years, both free.

Google’s office apps are free to use online, there’s iWork for Apple, or you could go for the outliers like WPS Office or Calligra Office.

How about a free operating system? Linux costs nothing and comes in a range of flavours, with Linux Ubuntu or Mint the easiest for beginners as the system moves

steadily closer to looking and acting like Windows.

Microsoft’s Outlook was the gold standard in e-mail ‘clients’ (programs) for years; now many people see it as simply clunky, and there are scads of free alternatives, from the favourite Thunderbird to the more eccentric ones like Mailbird, the veteran Pegasus Mail or Incredimail.

Professionals may shell out

some €20 a month to use Adobe’s Photoshop suite; the rest of us plebs should be perfectly content with popular and free photo-editing programs like GIMP, PhotoScape or my own personal favourite, Paint.NET. Need an audio editor? Audacity has done a brilliant job for free for years. Have to make PDF documents? You could pay handsomely for Adobe’s Acrobat, or just draw up your document in pretty much any modern wordprocessor without cost and then ‘Save As’ a PDF. AntiVirus? Companies make a fortune selling us paid protection, yet reviews consistently rate many of the freebies as being up there with the rest: Avira, Avast, BitDefender, AVG… So why not take a leaf from the book of Sandra Bullock, one of the world’s richest actors. ‘I’ll do anything for free stuff,’ she said a while back without a smidgen of shame. Me too, but in this instance without the hashtag.

Para nada, gratis FREEBIES are often cut-down versions of full-price corporate programs, and FreeOffice is no exception; business users pay, while the rest of us are simply good PR. It has the three main programs most people use: word-processing, a spreadsheet and presentations, all looking uncannily like their Microsoft rivals.

Like MS Office there are fancy new ribbons; unlike it you can switch back to a ‘Classic’ menu.

Installation is gratifyingly lightweight: the download file is just 400 MB, against four times that for MS Office.

Best of all, and in common with most modern free suites, right up-front you can set the program permanently to save automatically in the Microsoft default formats which have now become the global standard (.docx, .xlsx and .pptx).

One stop for great insurance in Spain WHETHER you live permanently in Spain or own a holiday property, there is no question that it is important that you obtain the right insurance which will suit your situation at a price that is sensible.

For many expatriates, it is difficult to fully understand the nuances and general rules of some Spanish insurance companies and it is therefore very refreshing to be able to deal with a long-established British company where English is the first language, yet where the very helpful and knowledgeable staff understand Spanish rules and regulations.

Abbeygate Insurance which is based just outside of Estepona in custom-built premises is the ideal company to use for Motor Insurance, Home Insurance, Travel Insurance, Business Insurance, Marine Insurance and the increasingly important Health Insurance.

Their motor insurance covers your vehicle for 12 months of driving in Spain and included with their quote will be a green card which will allow you care free driving anywhere in the European Union for up to 90 days a year.

Many companies don’t offer comprehensive insurance for cars over 10 years of age,

ABBEYGATE INSURANCE: Contact them now for all of your insurance needs. but this isn’t a problem for Abbeygate as they are able to tailor your insurance to meet your needs.

Indeed as the fastest growing broker in Spain, the company has only got where it is by offering a listening customer service backed up by highly competitive prices from secure insurers.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

A PUPIL failing to pass all Baccalaureate subjects can still walk away with the certificate.

An exception will now be made for those otherwise up to standard in the remaining subjects, which is as good a way as any of ensuring that a Baccalaureate qualification will soon be worthless.

Education minister Isabel Celaa justified this as “obeying all logic” since nobody should ever be “stigmatised,” she said.

“The worst punishment a person can have is to lose self-esteem,” Celaa maintained with motherly concern.

Prizes for all? Life doesn’t work that way, and nor should academic qualifications.

Not to worry, folks IT’S not so much a question of the public’s wanting to ‘cut the throats’ of Spain’s judges, as one was recently quoted as saying.

22 - 28 November 2018

Prizes for all The problem lies in comprehending the rigidity and lack of imagination responsible for verdicts that classed the multiple rape of an 18year-old girl as mere abuse or allowed Juana Rives’ children to be taken from her and sent to a father accused of gender violence.

The Supreme Court’s reversal of a verdict on mortgage fees that had

Other times, other places

sent bank share prices plummeting on the Spanish Stock Exchange was, for those unversed in the finer points of law, the last straw.

Never was the ‘Justice must be done and be seen to be done’ tenet less in evidence and never was public scepticism greater.

Neither was the scheduled renewal of the General Council of the Judi-

ciary (CGPJ) members reassuring.

The president, Manuel Marchena, is termed ‘conservative’ but not to worry, folks, 11 of the 20 members are progressive.

Most of us would be happier in the knowledge that all are capable of total impartiality, regardless of their political, social or cultural inclinations.

PODEMOS suspended Rita Maestre and four other Madrid City Hall councillors who are closer to Mayor Manuela Carmena than the party.

They refused to participate in Podemos primaries prior to next year’s municipal elections, hence their suspension. Trouble is, the suspension was leaked to the press before the party hierarchy had voted on it.

But in a party with a Supremo and nomenclature reminiscent of other times and places, who can be surprised?

SUSPENDED: Rita Maestre refused to participate in Podemos primaries.

The dead horse THE Partido Popular in Cataluña is hoping to put an end to its current irrelevance by naming Alejandro Fernandez president of the regional party.

PP irrelevance inside Cataluña began long before the independence Proces gained momentum.

Matters did not improve inside Cataluña during the 2011-2018 Partido Popular governments owing to Mariano Rajoy’s refusal to deal with the Proces as anything but a legal, and not a political, issue.

That led to an illegal referendum followed by the ineffectual UDI of October 27 which in turn led to the application of the Constitution’s Article 155 which put the Catalan autonomy on hold.

Trying to reverse Catalan hostility and antipathy to the PP will take more than a new regional president and is an exercise in what is known as flogging a dead horse.

by Pete Woodall, Woody's Los Boliches THERE are many Brits living in Spain, their status ‘under the radar,’ non-residents living here permanently. Happy long term ‘touristas’ with cars, guitars, horses, houses and internet TV. Although technically illegal, generally they do no harm, they are givers not takers.

Many ‘illegals’ but not all are UK pensioners or Brits enjoying early retirement, contributing to the local economy with their weekly shop, buying coffees and meals in restaurants. Some have private medical, others wing it on their EHIC but according to the rules for Spanish residency they are not legally resident.

They do this by bending the EU freedom of movement regulations, just wave your British passport use the EU/EEA citizens line at the airport and no one checks. However if Brexit comes to pass this could all change.

Potentially it will be just like it is for visiting Australians or

Living under the radar PASSPORT: An EU entry and exit stamp from Malaga airport.

Canadians and some other non EU/EEA citizens. No more easy EU/EEA line at the airport, but a nice entry stamp in your non EU British passport.

Basically such dated stamps allows the bearer entry into the EU Schengen zone for a period of 90 days in any 180 days period. Similar to visiting the USA, by day 91 you’re expected to be out. That is out of the entire Schengen zone not just Spain.

Holiday over and no return until

the ‘90 days in any 180 days period’ is over. Schengen visas are rarely extended and overstay often punished. Although reportedly less so in southern Europe than in the north.

Similar rules reinforced by the E u r o p e a n Tr a v e l I n f o r m a t i o n and Authorisation System (ETIAS) in 2021 could soon apply to the British and as EU freedom of movement and the corresponding restrictions are usually EU wide this would logically

Behind THE MUSIC

Girl Power?

THE four most skint members of The Spice Girls have announced that you can go and see them again, if you are rich enough to have about £200 for a ticket?

The reaction to the ticket prices online seems to have had no effect on sales, with tickets selling fast. People shouldn’t be surprised at the prices. The Spice Girls were only ever about making money.

They were put together by business men who had a specific marketing plan. They then fell out with their initial backers and went on to sign with Simon Fuller’s 19 Management. Fuller went on to carefully plot their path to success.

They became a phenomenon, with their first single Wannabe taking the number one spot in 37 countries.

More hit singles and three number one albums followed.

This was pop for the masses, and a product that young girls could relate to, believing that they could be empowered to achieve anything they want without the help of men. It was an alternative to the ‘cooler’ Brit Pop bands that were the more serious music fan’s choice at the time.

The nostalgic comeback shows are good business, and there’s nothing wrong with that!

WANNABES: The Spice Girls were the sensation of the 1990’s.

cover the entire Schengen area from Portugal to Finland. So no border runs to Portugal or Gibraltar to get your passport stamped and return to ‘su casita’ the next day.

Of course if you’re retired you could go to the UK or Morocco for three months and then return here for 90 days and then go back to the UK etc. Shifts, three months in - three months out but let’s face it, your pot plants are going to look pretty sad, your

pool will probably turn green but not from envy and your relatives might get a tad fed up with your new nomadic arrangements.

Hedging your bets, regardless of the outcome from the events that started in June 2016, retired or otherwise if you like it here but you’re living “‘under the radar,’ high time to be sorting out your residency papers, documenting your EU rights and getting your EU feet under the EU table while you still can.

1,000 people wintering over at different search stations. * A glacier named ‘Blood Fall’ regularly pours out a red liquid, which makes it look like the ice is bleeding.

Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, was known for swearing at officials, smoking in public, riding in cars with men, late night partying and owning a pet snake in an era when women were expected to conform. When an offended dignitary asked the president if he could control her, he replied: “I can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.”

EURO MILLIONS

Keep energy levels high by being at the hub of any social activities. Accept all invitations, however dull you feel they may turn out and allow yourself to be surprised.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

Your relationships to others linked to the home environment are going well.

Aim to build on that this week because the chance to make a real change to your surroundings opens up. Comfort is top of your agenda and the continuing sales give scope.

Restlessness can be channelled into an energetic response when others seek help.

As you have decided to rearrange both your business and home life, it is a busy time, indeed. You enjoy a challenge so it will not worry you that other people have different ideas.

Your mind is as sharp as a razor this week, so woe betide anyone who tries to trick you. It’s a great time to use your talents fully, particularly in regard to a business venture. It is possible that your strengths are a little unrecognised so don’t be afraid to try something entirely new.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This week is mainly concerned with financial matters, and it is easy to both save and make extra money. Keep your energy levels high by making the most of chances to exercise and get out in the fresh air.

Trivia from around the world * A road in France disappears underwater twice a day. The dangerous road of 2.58 miles connects the Gulf of Burnef with the island of Noirmoutier, Passage du Gois. * Almost half of the world’s diamonds come from central and southern Africa. * Some 3.5 billion years ago, a megaasteroid believed to be 30 miles across slammed into the Earth in Australia, causing tsunamis and craters bigger than many US states. * In the Philippines, there’s an island with a lake that has an island in it, which has its own lake, which has its own small island in it. It’s called Taal Lake. * In 1986, a Soviet pilot made a bet with his co-pilot that he could land the plane blind. He curtained all cockpit windows and crashed the aeroplane into the landing strip, killing 70 out of the 87 passengers on-board. * The US Air Force had only 18 pilots and five to 12 aeroplanes when the First World War started. * There is an area in Canada with less gravity than the rest of the Earth.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A social gathering turns up an old friend who makes an offer. Although you may feel unworthy, please be reminded of the times in the past when you have given them support. It will be through others that real progress will be made.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Concentrating on hearth and home gives you great satisfaction. As a born home-maker, you relish the idea of making something beautiful. This week it may be possible to show more of your skills when someone seeks your advice. This time it is on more of a personal note and you could end up helping with appearances.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Making a new start is not always the exciting thing that people imagine. When there are still old matters to be resolved, it takes the edge off the pleasure. It may be worth cooling off a new relationship until your social life is more settled.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Get both business and personal plans sorted out in the coming week.

Thereafter, changes to your routine may be necessary, which is disruptive. The best-laid plans can need adjustment, so don’t beat yourself up over that.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Someone close has ideas about how things should be at home this Christmas.

Although you wish to show an interest, and should, they may be more ‘hands on’ than you. Do whatever your talents allow to help because this will not be forgotten.

Users have to move a Spiderman-like figure through different levels by bouncing, jumping and weaving webs to swing from one point to another. When swinging, the secret is choosing the right time to let go of the rope and weave a new one. One wrong move can change everything.

ESTEPONA KINGDOM OF THE BLIND is the new Chief Inspector Gamache novel from best-selling author Louise Penny.

When a strange letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Surete du Quebec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will.

Still on suspension, but curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder.

None of them had ever met the elderly woman.

The will is so odd that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane?

When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing.

But in addition, Gamache is facing, an investigation into events that led to his suspension, involving drugs and the cartel.

BEING a British member of the European Union has just saved my life. But how can that be? How can being British and still within the EU be a life saver?

Please let me explain.

I am writing this from a hospital bed in the Inmaculada facility in Huercal-Overa (Almeria) I am a retired British expat living in Spain and I have just had the misfortune to suffer a heart attack.

My life was saved by an amazing piece of cutting-edge medical technology at the nearby Torrecardenas hospital in Almeria operated by a young female surgeon of outstanding ability and expertise.

Human hearts have three main arteries. In my case, there were blockages in all three. In the past, open heart surgery would have been the only option. My 21st century procedure, here in Spain, was rather different and much less risky.

If Britain had already crashed out of the EU without a deal, then you would not be reading this because I’d be dead.

Without the reciprocal health agreements between Britain and Spain as fellow EU members, there would be no free medical treatment for British pensioners living in Spain. The only alternative would be expensive private health care or people would have to move back to Britain and fall on the mercy of the already overstretched NHS and ultimately social services.

So to all the squabbling politicians and hard-line Brexiteers I issue this truly heartfelt (pun intended) appeal.

Give us a second referendum now we are no longer so ignorant of the facts. If you care about the well-being of your own citizens instead of your political career ambitions, be fully democratic and let us make a more informed decision NOW! It may be a matter of life and death.

Brian Eagleson

Hospital thanks SO many people give negative comments but we are very slow for giving positive comments and thanks. I wish to thank publically the staff at Denia Marina Salud Hospital for their help, compassion and efficiency.

Both my husband and many friends have received fantastic service from these dedicated people and I want them to know they are appreciated.

The EU is a life saver DISGUSTED: Turtle doves should be protected.

This is not sport

AS a regular reader of your great newspaper, I was disgusted to read in your issue, dated 11-17 October, the article Castle fit for a King.

In it they advertise extensive grounds and the shooting of wood pigeons, turtle doves and thrushes.

Wood pigeons are a pest to farmers and are large enough to be eaten. What do ‘sportmen’ shoot beautiful turtle doves and thrushes for, ‘sport’?

These two birds are rightly protected in the UK. Turtle dove numbers are down by about 90 per cent, they migrate to Africa and face many dangers on the way, including it seems in Estepona. I hope that you can find space for this, carry on the good work.

EWN 77

THE family of a British woman who died in suspicious circumstances in Benidorm have issued a statement which raises important points about the way journalists should cover such stories.

Brian Maxwell, the father of 27-year-old Kirsty, said in the statement reporters had being too speculative about the case. Ms Maxwell fell from a hotel balcony and investigations into her death are still ongoing.

The press has been rife with speculation into how the 27year-old may have died. On several occasions reports have been published based on statements and allegations not investigated or discussed in court.

The freedom of the press to report what it believes the public ought to know is a key part of any free and democratic society.

But when journalists wade into speculation, rumours and half-truths and publish them as though they were fact, they have strayed far from what their purpose should be.

Journalists should report the news as they know it and their job is to ensure the public is informed with the best and most reliable information available.

If reporters morph into judge, jury and jailer on matters where details are unknown or unclear then that is taking liberties with the truth.

Ms Maxwell’s story may sell plenty of newspapers but behind the reports there is a family still grieving and seeking closure for the loss of their child.

Now we want to hear your views.

ALI MEEHAN’S COSTA WOMEN INTERVIEWS

Trust your intuition…

The expatriate community of Spain is thriving with energetic women bringing their own brands of inspiration and intuition to the coasts. Costa Women was founded by Ali Meehan to bring them together to share ideas and tips. Here she talks to some of the ladies who are part of the group.

Do you believe being a registered and trained coach is essential in supporting people to get where they want or need to go?

From my own experience I’d say that training is very helpful as it gives tools and methods that a coach can use with her/his clients. A diploma on the wall gives credibility but it does not make a coach great itself, the results that the coach can help his/her clients to achieve speak volumes.

by Ali Meehan ALI MEEHAN talks to Katja Rusanen - Coach and Mentor to ‘Lightworkers.’ Katja believes in the importance of trusting your intuition.

Originally from Finland, Katja now divides her time between Marbella and California.

In 2002, I swapped the Finnish winters for sunshine and moved to Spain as I got a seasonal work opportunity at a hotel in Palma Nova, Mallorca. After the summer, I moved to London for two years before moving to Barcelona with one suitcase and my dog.

Favourite piece of advice you have been given?

‘Trust your intuition’ advice from my mom.

All time favourite book, or blog and your keep learning from it?

One book that I keep going back to is ‘Soul Plan: Reconnect with Your True Life Purpose’ by Blue Marsden as I do Soul Plan Readings that help people to gain clarity about their purpose.

In 2014, after 10 years in Barcelona, I moved to Santa Monica, California, to study a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica. I did some travelling after I completed my studies, which eventually led me to Marbella. Nueva Andalucia and La Concha Mountain charmed me and I felt like I had found a place where I want to stay.

You use video a lot for your business, top tips for a woman who is thinking of being brave and going live!

1) Prepare, Practice and Push the button! Once you have done your first FB live, celebrate this action step and reward yourself!

You now call Marbella home - three reasons why we should move there?

1) Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine 2) Beautiful scenery - Mediterranean Sea and La Concha 3) International atmosphere - more than 130 nationalities live here.

What is your purpose driven life story?

My search of purpose began at an early age, when I was overwhelmed with despair after my boyfriend died by suicide. That experience led me to seek answers from spirituality, discover my karmic lesson with loss of loved ones, and break free from my own repetitive pattern. Now I’m deeply committed to helping others get free from old patterns and blocks so they can shine their Light, share their gifts and succeed on purpose.

What are you doing in Spain?

I work as a Spiritual Counsellor and a Mentor for Lightworkers. I am so called ‘service Soul’ - I love helping people.

When I started to feel a strong calling from my Soul to do what I do today, at first I ignored it and tried to push it away. But eventually I started to feel pain in my chest area, and I began to slow down. I knew what I needed to do but there was so much FEAR! And it kept me stuck, but my heart was telling me that I must do this.

Something you would tell your teenage self?

‘I love you! Just know that there are brighter days ahead, you will find joy again.’

KATJA RUSANEN: ‘Prepare, Practice and Push the button!’

And when I did... The pain in my chest area disappeared, but the fear didn’t. I had to work through many layers of fear to begin sharing my purpose. I’m grateful for all the teachers and friends who have accompanied me through this process.

What are Karmic patterns?

They are patterns that keep repeating again and again. Almost all of our patterns are Karmic.

Karma means action, and we carry over unfinished Karma from the past - this life or past lives - to this moment. It’s like karma pushes you to situations or towards people who will give you an opportunity to work through your unresolved issues. This opportunity might feel more like a curse than a blessing when you are going through it. We can use our Karma for learning, uplifting and growth.

How do we discover our talents and goals particularly when we are notoriously bad at recognising the good and talents in our lives?

It does take practice and sometimes some support to start seeing your own natural talents.

Sometimes we also might take things for granted and not recognise them as a gift. You might want to write down things that bring you joy as the joy can lead you to your purpose.

For the person who thinks the idea of your coaching would be too woo-woo for them, how do you balance with practical steps?

I combine my spiritual awareness with my pragmatic approach that helps my clients get results fast. I love practical spirituality and help my clients to leave sessions with action steps that they can take so that they can keep moving forward.

Where do you see yourself living in the next 10 years? If you had to choose between Marbella and California where would win and why?

Ideally I’d be serving clients online from two home bases, Marbella and California. This way I wouldn’t need to choose and would get the best from both of the worlds. But I’m open to wherever the Spirit sends me!

Something you will achieve in 2018 I’m excited to create and launch my online program called ‘Ignite Your Purpose.’ It’s designed for alternative therapists, coaches and healers who want to serve more clients.

Where do we find out more?

I’d love to invite you to visit my website and connect with me on social media: Website: www.katjarusanen.com Special invite: Speak Your Purpose - 5-Day Quickstart I’ve just created a brand new program called Speak Your Purpose - 5-Day Quickstart and it’s completely free! http://bit.ly/SpeakYourPurpose

HEALTH BEAUTY

More shut eye for healthy skin THE eyes require special treatment and delicate care, whether it’s through special treatment and care or a change in lifestyle.

Wrinkles, bags, dark circles, and hooded eyelids are not very flattering, and can alter our appearance drastically.

But fortunately, the best way to a refreshed and less-tired look that’ll last is simple and free.

According to Dr Cameron Rokhsar, a professor of dermatology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, beauty sleep is real!

Apparently, it is not just an expression, it is the key to beautiful, healthy skin that lasts.

Sleep restores the skin’s natural balance and increases the effectiveness in skincare treatments. Skin automatically rejuvenates itself during sleep.

Not enough sleep leads to stress, which triggers the adrenal glands that create an over production of the stress hormone, cortisol. Once the hormone is released, it stimulates the sebaceous

Dr Rokhsar said: “When you don’t get enough sleep, not only are you tired, but you physically show the signs of sleep deprivation with puffy, under-eye bags and dehydrated skin.

“The ideal amount of consecutive sleep is six to eight hours in order to allow the body to get through the five sleep stages. During these stages, the cortisol and insulin levels help pro-

duce more collagen. During the fourth stage, growth hormones surge and tissue repair occurs.”

When a lack of sleep increases the levels of stress hormones, the body undergoes chronic stress, which leads to increased inflammation and subsequent acceleration of ageing, and worsening of acne. Poor sleep habits can result in skin sensitivity and irritation. The skin gradually loses its ability to protect itself from all the chemicals, pollutants and dirt it comes in contact with every day.

By avoiding caffeine four to six hours before bed, limiting alcohol and heavy meals before sleep, getting regular exercise, and developing a regular bedtime and morning wake-up call, even on the weekends, your skin will thrive in healthy glow.

The skin on the eyelid is so thin and delicate it is one of the most noticeable aspects of the face, especially when skin isn’t treated right. As such a delicate part of the face, it needs these healthy lifestyle changes in order to flourish.

Calls for ban on sugar laden freakshakes CAMPAIGN group Action on Sugar is demanding a ban on ‘freakshakes’ and all high calorie milkshakes sold in high street restaurants and fast food chains.

It surveyed the drinks sold in a variety of these type of establishments in the UK and found they contained ‘grotesque levels of sugar and calories.’

Key findings were that some contained a ‘shocking’ 39 teaspoons of sugar, more than six times the recommended daily amount of sugar for a seven to 10-year-old.

Others had more than half the daily recommended amount of calories for an adult.

The Toby Carvery Unicorn Freakshake came top of the survey containing the maximum amount of sugar and 1,280 calories.

As a result of the findings, and to mark the end of its third National Sugar Awareness Week (last week), Action on Sugar is calling for mandatory traffic light coloured nutrition labelling across all menus.

Red would signify ‘high’ levels of sugar per serving.

The group also wants to see a ban on the sale of milkshakes that exceed a calorie limit of 300 kcal per serving.

And the calls have the back-

ing of many charities and high profile figures including Tom Watson MP, TV personalities Davina McCall, Fiona Philips and celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

The ban is a step further than

HIGH CALORIE: Some contain as much as 1,280 calories.

Eat to stay slim during the winter months AS the cold nights draw in, it’s easy to enter a state of human hibernation that involves highfat comfort foods, the couch and a good film.

So it’s not surprising the winter is not always conducive with losing or maintaining a healthy weight.

In fact, layered sweaters and puffy coats can often make people give up on weight loss at least until spring.

But there are tasty low-calorie foods to enjoy this season, that won’t leave you struggling to drop the pounds before bikini season.

Oatmeal is the perfect winter breakfast. Warm, soothing, it is great for weight loss because it is packed with prebiotic fibre.

Also, healthy winter fruits and protein-packed nuts make a great topping for oatmeal, and add nutritional value in addition to robust taste.

Soup generally has few calories than other foods, but is

pretty filling. Chicken is a lean meat protein and its broth is a great ingredient to have to hand during the colder season.

Spaghetti and butternut squashes are considered winter foods and will definitely fill you up without adding too many calories to your diet. One cubed cup of squash contains just 63 calories.

Low in calories and bursting with vitamin C, citrus fruits such as oranges,

tangerines and lemons, give you energy and fight off sickness and are all in season from November to February.

The ultimate fibre filled ‘weight loss secret weapon’ is the pomegranate.

Not everybody’s favourite, but Brussels sprouts are super filling. Just 10 sprouts offer six grams of protein and seven grams of fibre.

SOOTHING: An oatmeal breakfast is a great start to the day.

Public Health England’s plans to achieve only a 10 per cent reduction in sugar by mid-2019 and a further 10 per cent by mid-2021 to meet the 20 per cent overall target. According to Action on Sugar, this will still

leave milkshakes with ‘vast and unnecessary’ amounts of sugar.

The campaign group also investigated the sugar and calorie levels in milkshakes sold in supermarkets and found that 90 per cent of the 41 products sur-

veyed would receive a ‘red’ (high) label for excessive levels of sugars per serving as sold.

It was pointed out that two contained no added sugars and all the sugars in those products are from milk.

Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England AT 5.2 metres long and with a top speed of 250 MPH (403kph), the Speedtail hugs the road.

Its highest point being just 1.12 metres above the road’s surface, lower even than the Raging Bulls.

The McLaren Speedtail will commence deliveries in early 2020 to 106 customers. Yes, that’s right the Speedtail has already sold out; at a minimum cost of £1.75 million each, (€2.2 million) plus local taxes. Mike Flewitt, CEO McLaren Automotive describing the Speedtail said, “McLaren has never built a vehicle like the Speedtail before. As our first Hyper-GT the Speedtail is the ultimate McLaren road car a fusion of art and science that combines an astonishing maximum speed with an iconic central driving position and a truly pioneering approach to bespoke personalisation. A ground braking hybrid power train sits within a lightweight carbon fibre body reminiscent of sleek ‘streamliners’ that once set world speed records. While the luxurious three-seat cockpit offer a sublime combination of an incredible driving experience, unmatched individualism and innovative materials never seen before in a road going vehicle.”

Acceleration is a mind blowing 0-186 mph or 0-300 kph in just 12.8 seconds. Bespoke P-ZERO tyres have been developed to cope with the Speedtail’s extreme speed by McLaren’s technology partner Pirelli. “As an ultimate Series model at the pinnacle of the McLaren range, the Speedtail pushes the limits of what is possible techni-

Just as the McLaren Senna is the embodiment of the extreme aerodynamic technologies and weight saving, so too is the Speedtail but for this McLaren the purpose was to achieve a new level of design sophistication and weight reduction in the pursuit of low aerodynamic drag, breathtaking acceleration and extreme velocity.” explained Andy Palmer, Vehicle Line Director, Ultimate Series, McLaren Automotive.

Sacrificed on the altar of aerodynamic purity the Speedtail instead features two rear facing high definition digital cameras that glide out of the doors when the vehicle ignition is

engaged, the cameras feed displays on either side of the instrument panel in front of the driver.

When ‘Velocity Mode’ is selected the cameras retract into the doors further reducing drag.

“The McLaren Speedtail is a vehicle unlike any other, not simply because of the astonishing visual drama, extreme speed and aerodynamic excellence that distinguish it, but because it sets unprecedented standards in technical luxury and bespoke customisation. The same boundless innovation and creativity that drives McLaren to push the limits of physical performance have challenged us to craft an interior defined by pioneering design and the absolute pinnacle of materials quality,” says Rob Melville, Design Director, McLaren Automotive.

By way of example let’s have a closer look at the Speedtail’s badge. Working with the Swiss watch maker Richard Mille; McLaren used pioneering technology from the world of Horology to develop a world’s first in the Automotive. Thin-Ply Technology Carbon Fibre (TPT) the material is comprised of countless ultra-thin carbon layers just 30 microns thick, each positioned at a 45 degree angle.

The surface is delicately milled to expose a stratified shimmering construction that resembles flowing water. This material can be integrated into areas of the Speedtail such as the overhead control panel, gearshift paddles and steering wheel clasp. TPT is also used in the McLaren badge on the front of the Speedtail design model with both this badge and the Speedtail name formed in 18 carat white gold, the letters being individually pressed, clipped and polished.

The city and regional like its neighbour Cataluña has preserved many of its traditions including its own language, Valencian, owing to it once being part of the Kingdom of Aragon.

TWO weeks ago I sent in my piece to EWN (appearing here last week) about the 30-year-old refugee acting as a 15-yearold schoolboy, asking (jokily) why shouldn’t anyone choose whatever age they want?

So, imagine my surprise reading the very next day about Emile Ratelband who’s trying to change his legal birth date from 1949 to 1969 (so he can, crucially, get more action on Tinder!).

But now, apparently, you can be whatever you say you are. Take Tony McGinn who, wearing his dog outfit, identifies as ‘Tony Bark.’ He is transgender, of course (and maybe also trans-species).

And then there’s the theatre director Anthony Ekundayo Lennon who, for funding purposes, identifies as black although, as he admits, he’s not. Plus Rachel McKinnon, a man who became a woman at the age of 29 and currently winning women’s cycling races across North America.

Have both common sense and basic truth truly gone out of the window?

There has been for some time now an acceptance that truth and reality are easily denied and can be concocted or modified simply to keep people happy. Today, truth is whatever an individual wants it to be and can change minute by minute, and from person to person. In effect, truth has

become a meaningless concept.

So, I am what I think I am, right? Looks like I could be in for a busy week: PM, Head of the UN and George Clooney’s next co-star. Oh, and I also won the lottery on Friday even though I don’t have my ticket any more. I just know my numbers were the winning numbers, so please let me have the jackpot...

I’m hopeful, too, ‘Tony Bark’ might meet up with my dogs one day, Emile might blaze a trail in making 69 the new 49 and ‘Rachel’ might give me cycling lessons. As Louis Armstrong might have said, ‘What a wonderful world’!

Is there a conflict of interest?

We have just had our Community AGM. For the election of a new president, two committee members put themselves forward. Neither was formally proposed and seconded. Isn’t this necessary?

The successful candidate is a local builder and is currently tendering for work in the community. Is there a conflict of interest in Spain? If so, what is the solution?

S H (Costa Blanca) You are quite right to observe that David Searl correct parliamentary pro- You and the Law in Spain cedures should be observed at the Annual General Meeting of a Community of Property Owners. And, yes, the concept of conflict of interest in public positions certainly exists in Spain. The standard remedy is to go to court to overturn this election. That is, if you can find a lawyer to take your case.

No Spanish court will oblige a community to follow the procedural rules very strictly. In some communities the owners simply take turns being president, as it is usually a thankless task. In your case, you have a committee which can keep an eye on the builder-president if he tries to abuse his position.

The school run nightmare Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man WHEN I was a kid I used to walk to school, which was about a mile from my house, and that wasn’t unusual back in the 1950’s.

Then I had kids of my own and the schools were a little bit further from home so we drove them to school. We parked in the car park and they would run off with their friends.

You would never dream of parking in the street and blocking the traffic. It just wasn’t done. So what’s happened? Now, and I guess it’s not only here, parents think it’s OK to park anywhere to drop off and pick up their kids.

They double park or park on roundabouts and, God forbid, you hoot or suggest they go park somewhere they are not bringing all the traffic to a halt, the abuse you get is unreal.

OK, at a nursery obviously you are going to take them in, but I’m talking about big kids you know, the ones that you see walking down the street with their mates on their phones having a ciggy. So is it the kids being bone idle or is it the parents? I’d love to know because driving around any school area is a nightmare.

Some schools do have police outside and they move people on, thankfully.

I hate letters from the tax man so I wasn’t happy when I received one the other day which, at first glance, looked like they wanted a serious chunk of money off me. On further investigation and with the help of Google translate and Mrs S’ expertise in reading Spanish, we discovered that what they wanted to know was if we owed a certain person money for work they had done for us, could we send the money to the Tax Office.

Well, we had paid for the work so we called the person involved and asked what it was all about. He told us his version and said we should ignore it.

Well, we don’t ignore the taxman’s letters so we took it to our accountant and he said he gets thousands of these things. Now here’s the thing - I would think, under the Data Protection Act, they shouldn’t be discussing somebody else’s debts with us because this could damage this man’s reputation, because he’s in dispute with the taxman. We are now in the situation that if we needed more work done should we use this person? I think it’s a diabolical liberty and shouldn’t be allowed. What do you think?

Finally I read something that made me scratch my head. Apparently in 2012 the number of people that got married was 4,153,237 and, I don’t want to start any trouble, but shouldn’t that be an even number? mikesenker@gmail.com

PILGRIMAGE: People walk for days, weeks and months.

by Migel Jayasinghe SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA is a city in the province of Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is where the world famous cathedral, Santiago de Compostela of the Roman Catholic faith, has stood for over a thousand years.

There are many interpretations of the word Compostela. It was presumed that the word meant ‘field of stars’, but it is now discounted with a preference for an etymological explanation favouring either ‘burial ground’ or a ‘well composed’ site.

The origin of this cathedral is shrouded in myth, but unarguably it has been the favoured destination of Christian pilgrims from practically all over the world since medieval times. Pilgrims are known to have walked, cycled, ridden horses or donkeys, to arrive at the cathedral, which can take weeks, months or even longer, depending on the place of origin. There are of course many paths to Santiago, depending on where one begins the pilgrimage (usually one’s home), but as one nears the destination, the most popular path is Via Regia, leading to the French Way, or Camino Frances.

While the cathedral was declared one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites in 1985, the path was named the first European Cultural Route by the Council of Europe in 1987.

Although St James was martyred in Jerusalem, his body was said to have been shipped to the Iberian Peninsula by his disciples, since a large part of his missionary work was reportedly conducted there. It was not until AD 813 when a bright star guided a shepherd to the site that the bishop of Iria, Teodomiro, learned of the burial site.

The bishop declared the remains to

The mystery of Santiago de Compostela

HOLY: The cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. be that of the apostle James, notifying King Alfonso II (Asturias) of the find, who initiated the building of the cathedral on the spot. Many miraculous events are said to have occurred here which, it is believed, empowered the Spanish Catholics to fight off the Moors and maintain their hegemony over northern Spain.

The bishopric of Iria was within the Kingdom of Asturias and the remains were accepted as those of St James by the Pope and Charlemagne. However, it was the 1884 Bull of Pope Leo XIII Omnipotens Deus, which formally declared the authenticity of the relics.

From 10th century onwards the settlement at Santiago de Compostela, main-

ly following the patronage of bishop Diego Gelmirez , became one of the main centres of Christian pilgrimage, second only to Rome and Jerusalem.

However, during the Napoleonic Wars, the settlement was captured and sacked by the French and the apostolic remains were lost for nearly a century, until rediscovered hidden in a cist (stone cof-

fin) in the basement of the cathedral.

Pilgrims from beyond the Pyrenees began arriving during the middle of the 10th century, while the earliest records of pilgrims arriving from England dates from 1092 to 1105. In the 12th century, Calixtus II initiated the Compostelan Holy Years. Whenever St James’ day (25 July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral declares a Holy or Jubilee Year.

Holy Years fall in 5, 6 and 11 year intervals. The most recent were in 2004 and 2010. The next will fall on 2021 and 2027. The official guide to the cathedral city was then the Codex Calixtinus. The 5th book of the Codex, published around AD 1140, is still regarded as the original source for most modern guidebooks.

It is customary for pilgrims to have with them a pilgrims’ staff, or walking stick. It usually is taller than the pilgrim and has a hook to suspend belongings (not too heavy). A souvenir which pilgrims often carry away with them after their pilgrimage is a scallop shell.

There are many explanations for the custom. It was believed that the ship carrying St James’ body capsized off the coast of Spain and was lost, but the body washed ashore undamaged, covered in scallops. Another explanation is that the scallop was of practical use as a drinking vessel or as a makeshift bowl for eating.

It also acts as a metaphor, since the grooves of the shell come together at a single point representing the various routes travelled by the pilgrims culminating in the burial place of St James.

The scallop is also a metaphor for the pilgrim. Just as the ocean washes up scallop shells on to the shores of Galicia, God’s hand guides pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela.

Today, Santiago de Compostela is a favoured destination, for not only the faithful, but also for many sightseers and tourists from around the globe.

currently using rooms for, such as the laundry, study and bedrooms. Perhaps these rooms could have combined functions.

Many homes have a study that rarely gets used. Look for another area or corner in the house which could fit a desk, in that way freeing up a whole room.

Sliding doors create instant space in smaller homes as an outward opening door can be restrictive. They are becoming more popular for bedrooms and studies, as well as for wardrobes, kitchen cupboards and en-suites.

One bathroom is not always ideal for an expanding family.

Adding an en-suite or extra bathroom gives extra space and will increase the value of your home.

Installing a gas hot water system may be expensive to connect, but are a lot cheaper to use than an electric version.

Storage is obviously essential, as is redefining the purpose of any unused areas, either with

Floor space creates the illusion of a larger room, so think about how you can use the ceil-

Now at the age of 12 years he seems less able to adapt.

Teen talk

Marbella Moments

by Nicole King THIS week I’m dedicating my column to the notes Joe Mehdawi has been taking at the meetings he set up following the loss of one of our local schoolboys to suicide so recently.

For three years our community has clearly identified at the United Nationalities of Marbella Summits a major concern over the lack of facilities and infrastructure, particularly for our international teens growing up here. This tragic recent event, not the only one this year in our city of its kind, has given us a very clear message that we can procrastinate no longer: NOW is the time to act.

Father of a daughter of similar age, who also goes to the same school as the child, victim of this latest tragedy, Joe has found the motivation necessary to get the ball rolling and has created a ‘Teen Talk’ group.

So far discussions have highlighted the need for youth hubs with bus services so plans to look into a space and logistics for this are on the agenda going forward. If you can help in this area please contact Joe. Approach local businesses to offer discounts to make age appropriate activities and services more affordable for teens.

Encourage and support existing local programmes whereby they give motivations / life talks in schools where they get a truly captive

by Sandy Shore WITH some amusement, I recall our ship rolling to the ocean wave and the tilting mess room table emptying our breakfasts on the deck.

Despite water lapping around our ankles we were a good humoured bunch. Such upsets were treated as storms in a teacup, which of course they were. More recently, before the break of dawn, I reached for my bedside glass and a little drink was spilled. Oh, the counterblast from my awakened wife was a sight to be heard.

What followed was a stream of oaths that would have brought a blush to a sailor’s face; toxic invective accompanied the mopping up process.

Now you know why women are not welcome as sailors. Forget the nonsense about their presence on a vessel being a bad omen. Such socalled superstition was a ruse dreamed up by a Jack Tar who, having suffered his wife’s hysteria over a glass of spilled milk put that rumour around.

Wives often complain that they are not loved enough. The usual mantra is, ‘you never say you love me any more’ or ‘you don’t cuddle me like you used to do.’

Teen talk action group summary. audience and can be age specific.

A helpline was also a prominent topic and that maybe using platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp could make it easier for teens in trouble to contact someone via a chat / message or call.

We need to find out if there is a Helpline locally that exists or if something feasible can be

created of course via all the necessary legal channels and trained professionals.

It was agreed to get some plans into action and define a clear ‘to do’ agenda before year end or early January, working towards something coherent to launch to the whole community at the United Nationalities of Marbella Summit on April 25, 2019 at the latest.

• Issues to tackle - Drugs and Alcohol - Port life - Social/tech misuse - Giving teens a sense of purpose - Making it easier for parents to find things to do locally - More role models / influencers for teens to look up to and engage with.

- Community segregation - Information portals • Ideas - A sponsor system - Find/create a teen helpline - Youth hub / bus idea could be a great resource to have.

- More facilities - More community events - More information available widely and easily - Potential motivational talks via schools - A dedicated info portal for teens / parents - Create a committee - Can you spare onetwo hours a month for a monthly agenda meeting?

- Potential for yoga / Thai Chi classes, - Work experience 14-17 year olds (unpaid if under 16) find local business who will facilitate and potentially ask schools to cooperate for a day(s) off.

If you are interested in being involved monthly and help push this group forward or can offer installations and services for our teens please contact Joe directly: joemehdawi@gmail.com Many thanks and much love Nicole xx @marbellanow

Who’d be a husband?

HAPPINESS: Does true bliss lie in marriage or in singledom?

Well, perhaps if women were more cuddlesome they might be. I recall a friend who as a husband ticked every box. Yet, he was often

left desolate by his being treated like he was something his spouse had discovered on the sole of her shoe. Later, he did find solace in a

girlfriend and of course that too was his fault.

A wife, being human, will occasionally err. She forgets things and

on occasion either loses utensils or breaks objects d’art. The husband’s response is usually, ‘It’s alright, love. It is hardly the end of the world.’

But, it is the end of the world if we do it and the minor sin will stigmatise our characters for evermore and a day.

On occasion, our friends drive whilst we two take a backseat. The seatbelts are on and the scold’s tongue is trussed too and during the drive there isn’t a word of instruction or criticism uttered. This is when I think to myself, ‘Would my driving friend enjoy such peace if he instead of me was married to my wife?’ I very much doubt it.

Darn! I should have taken my dad’s belated advice: ‘Son, why get married and make one woman unhappy when you can stay single and make them all happy.’

To all those henpecked husbands out there, ‘cheer up, mate’; you’re not on your own by a long whisky shot. Grin and bear it until you’re the one whom she bears - with five other good men and true.

MOTORING FACT IT has been 70 years since the Jaguar XK 120 sports car was unveiled in 1948, and to celebrate the manufacturer has developed two F-Type Convertible rally cars.

They are certainly an eye-catching design, making them two of the most unusual looking cars on the rally scene.

The one-off cars are meant to pay homage to the legendary Jaguar XK120 registered ‘NUB 120’ which, in the early 1950’s in the hands of Ian Appleyard, completed three consecutive Alpine Rallies without incurring a single penalty point, and won the RAC and Tulip.

The rally cars’ livery takes design inspiration from the new F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition, which features a range of subtle exterior visual enhancements, including unique 20-inch Gloss Black wheels with a Diamond Turned finish and a Black Contrast roof on the Coupé.

Inside, the luxurious Ebony Windsor Leather interior features Performance seats with embossed Chequered Flag headrests and a Dark Brushed Aluminium centre console trim finisher.

“Jaguar goes rallying

Walter Arnold of East Peckham, Kent, became the first man to be fined for speeding in January 1896. He was doing eight mph in a two mph zone and was fined one shilling plus costs.

Both rally-specification F-Type Convertibles are powered

by Jaguar’s 300PS 2.0-litre Ingenium four-cylinder petrol engine.

With modifications overseen by Jaguar Design and Engineering, both cars were built to FIA specification, with comprehensively uprated brakes and suspension fitted alongside a protective rollcage, race-seats with six-point harness, bonnet-mounted light pod and fire extinguisher.

Ian Callum, Jaguar Director of Design, said: “The opportunity to design a rally car doesn’t come along very often so I was fascinated to see how we

could take our modern day sports car to a similar character. These models are a fitting tribute to the XK 120 and all the great Jaguar sports cars since its reveal 70 years ago, including the latest F-TYPE Chequered Flag Limited Edition.”

to the brakes, suspension and drivetrain including the addition of grooved discs with four-piston calipers front and rear.

Hand-built competition dampers and softer springs ensure the high performance cars can be driven flat out over rough rally stages.

Three-way adjustable dampers allow the cars to be tuned for different surfaces and feature spherical bearings for added precision.

With motorsport-spec wheels and tyres specifically for use on gravel, a limited-slip differential improves power delivery on loose surfaces while a hydraulic handbrake helps drivers tackle hairpin bends.

The celebratory models were put through their paces at Walters Arena rally stage, South Wales, to demonstrate their performance credentials and will now attend a series of Jaguar events over the next few months.

Sales growth for SEAT SEAT is continuing its trend of record growth as the year draws towards an end.

Between January and October, the company sold 449,000 vehicles worldwide, which is 13.7 per cent more than in the same period of 2017 (395,100).

This is the best result in the history of the carmaker, and it is above the figure achieved between January and October 2000 (433,600 cars).

In October, sales fell by 16.8 per cent for a total of 33,400 vehicle deliveries. This decline can be explained by the sharp increase in sales prior to the implementation of the World Wide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) regulation that limits pollutants and CO2.

SEAT Vice-president for Sales and Marketing Wayne Griffiths said “the October result was expected following the nearly 40 per cent increase in sales in July and August as a result of the WLTP effect. The volume should stabilise in November and we expect to get back on the growth track in the next few months.”

it into the bottom corner, sending England through and relegating Croatia.

The victory also guarantees England a place in the Euro 2020 play-offs, a fallback in the event they fail to qualify for that tournament through the traditional route.

Southgate can take his share of the credit for two attacking substitutions, sending on Lingard and Jadon Sancho with England’s backs against the wall, and seeing the gamble pay off.

While it certainly does not make up for the disappointment of the World Cup semi-final, it was a demonstration that this young England

side is clearly developing strongly under Southgate.

The obvious joy of England’s players and supporters after that dramatic finale was another indicator that the maligned UEFA Nations League is capturing the public’s imagination.

Moreover, England’s adventure so far is proof that the concept of adding an extra edge beyond the traditional concept of friendlies has been a success.

England manager Gareth Southgate said: “I think the most pleasing thing of the year has been the connection with the fans and being able to share brilliant experiences with them.

Today was brilliant. You have to keep calm, when you think the chances have gone you have to keep believing.

La Liga Preview

Spain scrape win CELTA VIGO’S Brais Mendez scored on his debut as Spain ended their run of two defeats with a 1-0 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina at a wet Las Palmas.

It appeared as though Spain was heading for another poor result until Mendez fired in after keeper Ibrahim Sehic failed to hold onto Isco’s shot.

Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata should have given Spain the lead but he missed an awkward chance from four yards out.

Real Madrid forward Marco Asensio also spurned two good chances.

The result might have come as some sort of consolation for Spain coach Luis Enrique after his side’s participation in the first ever UEFA Nations League was ended by England’s victory over Croatia.

But long-range efforts from Suso, Isco a n d A s e n s i o l a c k e d a c c u r a c y, w h i l e Bosnia’s defence coped comfortably with Spain’s attempts to cut through them.

Asensio, with only three goals for club and country this season, should have nodded La Roja into the lead, but sent his header wide by two feet.

He then managed to test Sehic with a shot that was parried into the path of Morata.

ENGLAND staged a superb late comeback to beat Croatia at Wembley and reach the finals of the inaugural UEFA Nations League.

Croatia, England’s World Cup semi-final conquerors in Moscow in July, looked set to triumph once more and relegate Gareth Southgate’s side from the elite group.

Andrej Kramaric put Croatia ahead just before the hour after taking an age to twist and turn before beating Jordan Pickford.

It was cruel on England but as in Moscow they failed to make the most of their first-half superiority, missing a series of chances with Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling the chief culprits.

But the home side responded with courage and character to seize back the initiative as Jesse Lingard tapped in from Kane’s parried shot.

Captain Kane then got an outstretched toe on Ben Chilwell’s free-kick to poke

SPRINTING great Michael Johnson said he had to apply an ‘Olympic mindset’ during his recovery from a ministroke.

The American, 50, says he is “pretty much back to normal” after suffering a transient ischemic attack in September.

Johnson, who won the 200m Olympic gold at the Atlanta Games in 1996 in 19.32 seconds, said the same distance in hospital took him 15 minutes.

“I was achieving tiny incremental improvements and it gave me hope,” he said.

“I told my wife I was confident of making a full recovery and not only will I do that, I will do it faster than anyone else has done before.

“I knew then the recovery was going to be down to hard work, focus and commitment to the process.”

ALEXANDER ZVEREV stunned world number one Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win the season-ending ATP Finals and earn the biggest victory of his career.

Djokovic, 31, was the heavy favourite to win a sixth final but was outclassed 6-4 6-3 by the young German.

Zverev, the third seed, broke Djokovic for a 5-4 lead in the first set, and followed it up by serving three huge aces to take the set.

The 21-year-old continued to dominate in the second and sealed a memorable victory as Djokovic faltered.

“I’m unbelievably happy.

Obviously it is the biggest title I have ever won,” said Zverev, who took home about €2.25 million in prize money.

“How I played today, how I won it, for me it’s just

amazing.”

He had lost to Djokovic in straight sets in the group stage, but stormed back to beat Roger Federer in the semi-finals, before preventing the Serb from equalling Federer’s haul of six end-of-season finals.

Zverev missed his first championship point before hitting a sensational backhand down the line for victory, falling to the court in a mix-

ture of disbelief and celebration, as Djokovic jumped over the net to congratulate him.

Zverev has long been touted as the player most likely to carry the mantle for the men’s game once the ‘big four’ of Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray have retired.

The 6ft 6in German’s booming serve, crunching groundstrokes and improved net play show he has all the ingredients to reach the top.

ENGLAND ran in three second-half tries to come from behind and beat a pumped up Japan 35-15 at Twickenham.

Japan had been leading 1510 at half-time after tries from Ryoto Nakamura and captain Michael Leitch rounded off some wonderfully creative attacking rugby.

Eddie Jones had spoken of ‘emotionally smashing’ the side he used to coach, but an upset to rival the famous Japanese defeat of South Africa in Brighton at the 2015 World Cup, seemed on the cards.

It was only late in the game, after debut international tries from Mark Wilson and Joe Cokanisaga, and two penalties from George Ford, that England took any sort of control.

Jones had made 11 changes from the side that came so close to beating New Zealand a week ago, and two of those men combined early as winger Cokanasiga’s piercing run paved the way for Danny Care to race away for the opening try.

But with Jamie George sinbinned after going off his feet in desperate defence, Nakamu-

ra burst on to Fumiaki Tanaka’s flat pass off a scrum 10 yards out straight through Alex Lozowski, and Japan were ahead.

More was to come from the cherry and whites as Leitch barged through Care’s attempted tackle and stepped past last man Daly to dive in the corner.

Twickenham was stunned and Jones threw on Sam Underhill, Ben Moon and Kyle Sinckler to try to wrestle back control.

The changes seemed to galvanise the home side and with a quarter of the game to go Ford’s dummy pass opened a gap in the defensive line and his inside ball found Wilson storming through.

Two further tries slightly flattered England but with Australia coming to town this Saturday, Jones will be aiming for three wins out of four testing matches this month.

SPARKLING POTENTIAL: Zverev has the ability to be the world number one.
