Squatters can’t beat new rules of eviction 1 CW

THE Spanish Government has approved specific measures against squatters who illegally occupy private property, leaving them cornered, because they will have to prove ownership with a title deed, or be evicted.

Money in the Bank or Money in a Bond, make an informed choice

T

he majority of us keep money in a bank account, why? Because it is easy, relatively secure, and easily accessible. There is also a deposit protection scheme in place which covers the amount in your bank account up to 100,000 euros or £85,000. So far, so good?

This means that if a bank or building society cannot meet its obligations and subsequently fails, or becomes insolvent, the maximum compensation you will receive will be £85,000 or £170,000 for a joint account (husband and wife).

What about growth on your savings? Returns are not good, interest rates are hardly inflation beating and your hard earned cash is not really being put to work for you.

In fact, the average savings account is paying less than 1% per year and some have reduced to 0.2 or 0.1% So how does this look in reality? Consider this:

£20,000 in an average savings account with a gross interest rate of 1% will pay £20,000 at 1% per annum equalling £200 per year before tax

What is the alternative?

A Spanish Tax Compliant Bond Setting up a Spanish tax compliant bond is no more difficult than setting up a bank account. Once you have invested you have easy access to your money: regular and one-off withdrawals, to suit your needs.

The returns over the last few years have been:

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 7.6% 7.5% 10.3% 6.5% 7.8% 7.8% The growth on a Spanish tax compliant bond is free of tax until a withdrawal is made. Even then only the growth is subject to tax.

Any tax due is paid directly to the Hacienda and no Modelo 720 declaration is required for holders of this kind of bond. The bond can also be held jointly so there should be no liability to succession tax on the first death.

The bond is backed by an AA rated financial institution which is subject to a strict legal and regulatory environment, to European Law, and having to comply with all applicable European directives and regulations and to meet European solvency margins. Under EU law, assets are to be used to repay policy holders should the company be wound up.

Please remember that not all bonds are Spanish tax compliant. If you would like further information about the Spanish tax compliant bond, please give us a call for a no obligation chat.

Door slams on squatters Cont. from Front If sufficient justification is not forthcoming, a court will order immediate repossession of the home, with no chance of appeals from squatters.

This is a drastic change to previous squatters’ rights, which allowed them to fight the case in court, and, on average, gain another 15 months of free living in the property.

Under the new rules, however, a fast-track procedure has been introduced, enabling owners to get rid of the squatters in a matter of weeks.

Also, under the changes, the law states that the rules prevent the “extortion” of the owner, which means the squatters cannot ask for financial compensation to move out, as is usually the case.

This extortion move is often conducted by “very organised mafia-style networks”, stresses the law.

Courts will now serve notice to squatters, identified or not, which gives them five days to produce a rental agreement, or any other document, enabling them, legally, to remain in the property.

Failure to find this will lead to the Courts issuing an

immediate eviction notice.

In addition, under the new law, the Courts must observe the following: *Squatters will have no rights, other than to produce a valid agreement to cover their stay in the property. Opposing any application to have them evicted will not stop the process *Squatters will have no right of appeal, and will be evicted immediately *Social Services will be on stand-by, in case of the eviction of children, the elderly or people with special needs

*The reform will affect only properties whose owners are “private individuals, non-profit and public agencies, which own social housing”. It omits properties held by banks and investment funds.

These measures will become applicable this summer, 20 days after the publication of the law reform in the Official Gazette.

It seems that evictions here in the South are picking up, because no fewer than 17 families, all squatters, were kicked out of a San Isidro apartment block, earlier this month.

The mass exit followed a complaint by the owner, and a subsequent court order. But seven families, which included children and elderly, were seen as vulnerable, with little or no financial resources.

These families, prioritised because of their circumstances, have already been re-homed, and the older folk placed in centres for the elderly.

Of course, there is another way of banishing squatters from your property, as 67-year-old Margaret Askew Eastwood demonstrated last October.

She had popped into her new Golf del Sur home, which was being refurbished, to collect her mail. But she discovered that a family of Romanians had settled in there.

“I noticed that the front door was slightly ajar, and, as I went to examine it, I saw a well-dressed young man, standing in the doorway,” she recalled. “I asked him what he was doing there, and he said, arrogantly, ‘We live here. We moved in three weeks ago’.

“I was livid… how dare they impose themselves on my home, I thought. An older woman and a couple of younger girls also appeared as I pushed the door open and saw sleeping bags all over the floor.

“I was so angry that I screamed at them to get out, but the woman said they had nowhere to go. I shouldered my way past her and started throwing their belongings into the garden, all the time ranting at them.

“To my surprise and relief, they started packing up their bits and pieces, loaded them into a car and drove off.”

Margaret, a devout churchgoer, added: “Thank goodness something is being done about these squatters at long last.

“It’s not right that they are allowed to take over someone’s house and live in it for nothing.”

Knife man robs jewellers

A YOUNG man, carrying a large knife, held up a Cabo Blanco jewellery shop on Wednesday, at around 6pm.

He intimidated the woman looking after the store by taking the knife from a small suitcase and waving it around.

She ran out from the premises, immediately, screaming for help. Mean-

while, the thief helped himself to the daily takings from the till.

He then jumped into a Renault Twingo, parked up with a driver inside, and was whisked away.

The woman alerted the police, who, along with the Guardia Civil, soon arrived.

Guardia officers then spent most of the evening searching Buzanada and La Centinela for the vehicle and its occupants, but to no avail.

Perverted dad, who abused daughter, 10 A PROSECUTOR has requested 18 years’ imprisonment for a father, who sexually assaulted his 10-year-old daughter for four years, leaving her traumatised during the entire period.

Jose HG has been stripped of his parental rights of three children, because of

his appalling behaviour.

The Santa Cruz Court hearing began on Tuesday morning, and the youngster’s statement was taken behind closed doors to protect her identity.

She said the abuse began in 2013 and lasted until 9th May last year, which was the day her father

was arrested and detained … and the day the abuse stopped!

The father used threats of violence, to scare her from speaking to anyone about the abuse, which had been taking place frequently. He also took full advantage of his parental status.

Canarian tourism chiefs spell out the way ahead THE inaugural conference of the AMTC (Association of Canarian tourism boroughs), which met in Adeje last Friday and Saturday, attracted more than 100 tourism agents.

And, in addition to speakers from the Canarian universities, also present were institutional, business, trade unions and university representatives.

During Friday’s opening session, Isabel Oliver Sagreras, newly-appointed National Tourism Minister, said the Spanish Government was happy to be allied with the association.

She also spoke of the search for a “social balance” in tourism, between the needs of the visitors and the rights of the residents in tourism destinations.

“Residents have a right to an opinion, too,” she said.

“And we have to be aware

Poor dog left to suffocate in car

A MAN was arrested and charged with animal abuse after leaving his dog, which, subsequently, died inside his Porsche, during last Sunday’s blazing-hot sun.

The dreadful incident occurred at midday, at the isolated, Santa Cruz area of Punta del Hidalgo.

La Laguna’s Local Police were alerted, and, upon arrival, they noticed that the vehicle had been parked in an unshaded area.

Closer inspection revealed that there was a large, lifeless dog inside the Porsche, and the poor animal did not react to the officers.

They smashed a window of the vehicle, whose owner appeared while they were trying to get into the car.

Sadly, he returned too late, because the poor animal was already dead, having suffocated inside the costly, high-end motor.

The authorities were not prepared to reveal the identity of the irresponsible owner.

of the impact of tourism on where we live.”

The Tourism Minister added that sustainability was vital in this regard, both “economic and territorial”. And it was also crucial that the workers’ right to training and proper contracts and wages was respected and upheld.

There were various roundtable discussions on what were considered to be the main themes in need of attention: governing tourism; overnight stays,

including holiday rental; sustainability; training and employment; planning and management integration, as well as innovation, and digitalisation.

José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, the Association President and Adeje Mayor, said on Saturday: “The Canaries has to adapt to the new tourism model, based on quality and sustainability, if we wish to maintain our position as leaders in the sector among European destinations.”

He pointed to the main challenges as “capturing the new mid and mid-highincome tourist, keeping the 15 million annual visitors we have, and making sure we keep the 20m euros which the sector generates for the islands”.

And he stressed: “To do that, we have to improve in quality, diversity and sustainability.”

Modernising existing hotels was another crucial point, and the AMTC President added. “We need, also, to reform the existing tourism law to meet the needs of sustainable growth, but without getting rid of the moratorium in place. And we must treat holiday letting as another branch of tourism.”

The creation of up to 100,000 new jobs was also discussed, as well as language training.

“Learning other languages is something we do need to be better at, and improving education options,” said Rodríguez Fraga.

“We are also committed

to equal opportunities, and we will work to eliminate any gender or age discriminatory gaps.”

Referring to the Canaries’ seven main tourist zones, Rodríguez Fraga pointed to the huge problems in roads, public transport, ports and airports, and was adamant that proper planning and integrated development was essential, given the 16 million visitors who visit these areas annually.

He also used the presence of the new Spanish Tourism Minister to reiterate a key point of the AMTC: the need for increased funding from central coffers, given that tourism creates over 30% of GDP. “But these boroughs receive only 1% of regional funding, and less than 1% from the general budgetary fund,” said the Association President.

“The reality is that we look after over twice the numbers on the residential register.”

Information requested on the death of John Palmer ON the third anniversary of his murder, the family of Essex businessman John Palmer has launched a £100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of his killer or killers, with the support of the independent charity, Crime stoppers.

Mr Palmer, 65, was at his home in Sandpit Lane, Brentwood, Essex, at around 5.30pm, on Wednesday 24th June, 2015, when he was shot, repeatedly and fatally.

Mr Palmer was very well known in Tenerife, where he ran a number of businesses.

His partner, Christina Ketley, said: “Losing a loved one is hard enough, but, in this case, we have the added stress of not only not knowing who did it, but why.”

She said that, just before the murder, they had enjoyed a Father’s Day, on which their whole family had come together.

“It was lovely and I felt that the future would continue to be as perfect as that, with family at the centre of everything,” she added.

“I never dreamed it would be the last time we were all together as a family.

Since then, every Father’s Day, every birthday and every special occasion is a constant reminder that John is not with us, and, also, that his life was cut short so ruthlessly.”

Roger Critchell, Crimestoppers’ Director of Op-

erations, said: “We understand that people are not always willing to go to the police, so we would urge them to contact Crimestoppers, with 100% anonymity, through our phone line and our online form.”

Crimestoppers is an independent charity, helping the police solve crimes, and making communities safer. It does this by operating the 24/7 telephone number 0800 555 111, or 0844 555 111 (from Tenerife), which people can ring, anonymously, to pass on information about crimes. They can also use our Anonymous Online Form.

Around 14 people are arrested and charged every day, as a result of informa-

tion given to Crimestoppers. Since the charity began, 30 years ago, it has received over 1.8 million actionable calls, resulting in more than 140,000 arrests and charges.

In addition, stolen goods, worth more than £135m, have been recovered, and illegal drugs, worth over £340m, have also been seized.

In 2005, Crimestoppers launched the UK’s Most Wanted on its website, which enables the public to view images of criminals and pass on vital information about their whereabouts.

It has been highly successful, with over 4,000 arrests to date, including some on mainland Spain, and in Tenerife.

Symphony orchestra putting on the style!

T E N E R I F E S y m p h o n y Orchestra are all set to play their first open-air concert in South Tenerife, at Golf Costa Adeje.

It has been organised

by Adeje Council and supported by the regional department of Tourism.

The orchestra, conducted by Jader Bignamini, will feature Canarian soprano Davinia Rodrígue.

It starts at 9pm, and

the concert reflects the Council’s push to make sure that quality entertainment events are not just aimed at tourists through the “Happy Streets” programme.

In fact, residents in the South will also have a chance to see and hear the TSO performing live.

The TSO, which is considered one of the best in Spain, has also played extensively in Europe, the United States and Asia, over the years. And, of course, it is also

Worldwide cocaine cartel is hammered

SIXTY blocks of cocaine, weighing some 1,850kg and worth an estimated street value of 65 million euros, have been seized from a sailing boat, heading for the Canary Islands, thanks to an international drug operation.

Spain’s National Police, along with the Spanish Tax Office, were also involved deeply with Operation GRU. The successful seizure was announced by Alberto Morales, Chief Inspector of the Organised Crime Unit, who made an immediate statement to the press as the drugs were being unloaded at a Las Palmas military base.

Also present during the unloading were official delegates, including Elena Mañes, representing the Spanish Government, and the Tax Agency’s Carmen

Guillen, along with Jose Maria Moreno, a National Police Chief Inspector.

The international operation began in 2015, when suspicions of a criminal organisation, which appeared on the radar, sparked a wholesale investigation.

It was thought that the organisation was shipping narcotics across the world, via sailing boats and yachts.

The drug was stored in “nurseries” until there was a demand for it to be distributed on the black market. Thanks to the operation, investigators have revealed how the organisation worked.

Members would use several sailboats and yachts to move the cocaine from one craft to another, hoping to cause confusion and prevent its detection.

In the end, though,

the cocaine was found on a small sailboat, which was followed for days by the Spanish Air Force, who recorded the small vessel’s actions and movements.

Finally, last Wednesday, the arrests took place in early hours, when police officials stopped the sailing boat, named Pepper Sauce, which was sailing under a British flag.

Three men were arrested, one of them trying to hide among the 60 bales of cocaine. But there was no escape for the two Frenchmen and an Englishman.

The boat was towed by the surveillance ship into the Las Palmas port, where investigations continued.

The three men were detained and are awaiting sentencing from the international courts.

Davinia Rodríguez has performed with some of the top opera singers in the world, including Jesús López Cobos, Plácido Domingo, James Conlon, Jeffrey Tate, Danoto Renzetti and many more.

She has sung in all the great theatres in Spain, Italy, China, and here in the Canaries.

Jader Bignamini is resident conductor

with the La Verdi Symphony Orchestra in Milan but has also wielded his baton with Symphony Orchestras in San Diego, Osaka, Detroit and Milwaukee, and, this year, has been busy touring South America.

The programme for 13th July concert will feature works from Rossini, Verdi and

Bizet, among others, and the organisers are preparing a special stage setting, which will allow the audience to enjoy a spectacular sunset to live music in this very special setting.

Also participating in the production of the event are the Canarian Government, Tenerife Cabildo and the Golf Costa Adeje club.

Tickets, just 15 euros, are on sale at https:// w w w. t o m a t i c k e t . e s / entradas- sinfonicade-tenerife.

It is hoped that this music event will become a regular summer classic. And Adeje Council will be looking to the TSO and other European bodies to offer the local public, and visitors, the kind of quality events that match the destination.

NEWS IN BRIEF Brit drivers take care

THE use of legal technology in Britain to detect speed cameras could result in fines costing thousands for drivers in Spain, and elsewhere in Europe, following crackdowns.

Speed-camera detection devices, and technology capable of jamming radars, could land motorists fines of up to 6,000 euros in Spain.

French rules state that penalties of around 1,500 euros can be handed to drivers on their roads for the same offences.

Police across the European Union also have powers to access DVLA databases to identify, and, if necessary, punish British drivers for breaking road laws, under measures brought in last year.

British authorities recently cracked down on the use of such technology. They are legal if sold as parking sensors or garage- door openers, but not if used to interfere with speed cameras.

12m-euro council windfall

AFTER suffering financial huge losses from the “Malaya Case” fraud, Marbella Council has received 12m euros compensation to improve the area’s services and public facilities.

At one time, it appeared that all of the money and assets recovered from the convicted Juan Antonio Roca would be passed directly to the Spanish Government, to pay tax and social-security debts.

But a 2013 court ruling, concerning the use of recovered funds from the case, enabled the Council to argue its case.

In addition to these funds, it seems that some of the property seized, which includes the Finca de la Caridad and buildings adjacent to Costa del Sol Hospital, will, eventually, be handed over to the Council.

Rajoy’s new shot at fame?

WITHIN days of former Spanish Prime Minister giving up his Parliamentary seat and turning his back on politics, Valladolid football fans reported that he was occupying himself, as a security guard for matches.

During the game, in which Valladolid beat Numancia de Soria 3-0 to guarantee promotion to La Liga, it became the hottest topic of conversation in the stands.

The sight of Rajoy in a fluorescent jacket and security guard’s uniform on the side of the pitch led to fans on both sides chanting, “Mariaaaano, Mariaaaano”.

They even called for him to take a shot, which he did, even though the “ security guard” was not Rajoy but

temptation, or the fans egging him on. The security man played right up to his new-found fame, taking it in good humour and posing with fans after the match, his photograph soon going viral on Twitter.

In fact, the “real” Rajoy has applied to return to his old job as a property registrar, for which he was employed for many years, before becoming a salaried politician.

MAGALUF’S council chiefs are increasing their pressure on boozy British holiday-makers… and their wallets!

It comes after street signs, written in English warning revellers they will be fined heavily for drinking, being naked or fighting on the street, appeared across the holiday hotspot.

The eye-catching notices carry the hashtag banner: “Have fun with respect”, as well as a Calvia Council logo, which carry a series of messages, including: “Wear no clothes on the street: penalty 400 euros.”

Another says: “Drink on the street. Penalty 500 euros.”

And a third warns: “Shout, fight, or bother people. Penalty 400 euros.”

Some 15 of the signs have been attached to lamp-posts, and placed in other visible spots on party strip Punta Ballena, with five more on Calle Ramon de Montcada, in Santa Ponsa.

The Council said in a press release: “The signs form part of an image-led campaign, to promote good behaviour, and inform people of the sanctions for breaching by-laws.”

But despite the piping-hot weather, she was wearing a fleece, and, as the car came closer on the High Occupancy Vehicle lane, the officers realised that the “child” was, actually, a large doll.

It had been placed there by the driver to dodge the rules, which bans cars with no passengers from this part of the A-6.

Initially, what alerted the officers was a child in the front of the car, which is prohibited by law, unless a special children’s car seat was being used.

But this “passenger” was wearing a warm fleece, as well as sunglasses, a cap and headphones, which also triggered alarm bells.

Needless to say, the driver was caught and fined 200 euros.

Curiously, it was not the first time a driver had tried to cheat his way into the A-6 carpool lane.

In October 2012, another offender was caught, using an adult-sized mannequin, wearing a wig, coat and sunglasses.

SIAM Park is getting ready to start its long-awaited “Siam Nights”, comprising genuine fun evenings during July and August.

Siam Park set to spread its wings

SIAM Park officials have been given the green light to construct a similar, world-class water park, in Gran Canaria.

The Canary Islands’ Superior Tribunal Courts have confirmed their authorisation for the Kiessling Group company, which created and owns Tenerife’s Siam Park and Loro Parque, to construct and recreate another water park at El Veril, in San Bartolomo de Tirajana.

The proposal was presented in October last year, only to be rejected, partly because of the requested location. But, following the tribunal hearing, the proposal was accepted.

Preparations for “another” Siam Park, to match Tenerife’s “Best Water Park in the World” acclamation last year, will consist of channelling an existing gully to divert rainwater.

That will enable the constructors to take advantage of the same gully to create another worldclass venture.

thousands of young people, and entire families, in a unique way.

They embrace the best “chill-out” rhythms, provided by a DJ, and a buffet on the white-sand beach, as well as the best summer atmosphere.

Under the stars, the most daring can try the spectacular experience of Singha, the fastest and most impressive rollercoaster ride on the planet.

With a course of more than 240 metres, and 14 changes of direction, it’s a pioneering attraction, never seen in other water parks.

Also, you won’t want to miss the Tower of Power, which is 28 metres high and has an almost-vertical slope, which gives the sensation of a free fall.

In addition, there will be time for relaxation on Siam Beach, the most paradisiacal throughout the Canaries, featuring the largest artificial wave in the

world. It also has a slow, tropical ride on the Mai Thai River, which crosses the heart of the Park and lifts you, gently, to a height of eight metres, from where you can enjoy the most beautiful views of the Park’s waterfalls and lush gardens, as well as a spectacular aquarium.

This Siam Park initiative enriches Tenerife’s tourist appeal, by enhancing the complementary offer and demonstrating how tourist

facilities can improve the competitiveness of a destination.

This “Water Kingdom”, inaugurated in 2008, has been named Best Water Park in the World by TripAdvisor for four consecutive years.

And, throughout its history, it has been awarded numerous distinctions for its commitment to innovation and excellence: the hallmark of the Loro Parque Company.

Rock star dies from flesh-eating disease A RUSSIAN rock star has died after contracting a horrific, flesh-eating infection while on holiday in Gran Canaria.

Knife-crazy Venezuelan just kept on stabbing man A VENZUELAN man, known to police as AJJE, was arrested in Santa Cruz after causing serious knife injuries to another person in a vicious attack, for no apparent reason.

An official complaint was lodged in May after an unprovoked assault, on Avenida Reyes Catolicos, at the city centre’s traffic lights.

The victim had parked up, when, suddenly, a man on a bike appeared and parked next to the vehicle. Immediately, he began stabbing the other man’s arms with a knife, chanting: “I am going to kill you! I am going to kill you!”

Despite the struggle, the victim managed to pull himself over to the passenger side of the car, which was when the attacker fled.

An ambulance arrived at the scene, and, because the injuries were so serious, the victim was transferred to a nearby health centre for treatment.

The injured man gave an in-depth description, and, together with information from other witnesses, the cops were able to identify and locate the assailant, who has previous charges against him for similar, violent attacks.

He is now in police custody, awaiting a court hearing,

The 58-year-old guitarist picked up the infection last month, and his condition worsened as he embarked on a flight to Amsterdam,

Big Chinese cash haul

on his way home.

So severe was Andrey Suchilin’s “tissue necrosis”, and the resulting smell which emanated from his body, that the plane had to make an emergency landing in Portugal.

The “unbearable” smell from his rotting flesh was so bad that it caused other passengers to vomit, some even fainting.

At first, the cabin crew isolated him in the toilet, but, eventually, the pilot was forced to divert the Transavia flight, making an emergency landing in Faro on 30th May. Suchilin wrote on Facebook, shortly afterwards: “The tragic and comic component of this whole situa-

tion is that I caught a disease, which (let’s not say how and why) makes a person quite stinky.

“As a result, a group of passengers may demand the captain for you to be removed from the plane.”

The musician was hospitalised in Portugal, where he had multiple surgeries to try to combat the infection.

But his health continued to deteriorate, and, after falling into a coma, he died of organ failure on Monday.

Local news websites reported that Suchilin was considered to be a “pioneer of rock music” in the Soviet Union, and “one of the top guitarists in Russia”.

Immigrants flooding in

AN operation conducted jointly by the Guardia Civil, Spanish Tax Agency and Europol seized more than eight million euros in cash, after raids on 23 properties.

The investigation, which started just over a year ago, studied the illicit importation of various goods from China into the European Union, where they were sold without payment of import duties or other taxes, the money

then being transferred back to China.

Apart from the vast sum of cash found, the investigation also revealed that funds totalling more than 31m euros had been transferred to the money- launderers’ Chinese bases.

It is reckoned that 75% of all profits generated by the illegal activity left the European Union, and, apart from the arrest of 13 people in Spain, simultaneous raids also took place in Portugal and Romania, with Spanish officials being seconded to assist the authorities in those two countries.

SOME 388 more immigrants, travelling in 10 small boats, were rescued from the Strait of Gibraltar on Monday.

They had made the perilous journey from Africa, and one tiny boat was carrying a staggering 40 people, including some women.

Meanwhile, Maritime Rescue officers were still searching for another boat off the coast of Malaga, believed to be carrying 54 men.

Authorities were alerted at 3.45pm on Sunday, when the boat left Morocco, heading for the Spanish coast.

Ryanair is forging new Southend Airport link IRELAND’S lowcost, Ryanair airline, plans to open a new base at Southend Airport, from next April, using three new aircraft, costing 257m euros, and covering 13 routes.

Although flights will go to eight different countries, Spain is well looked after with five weekly flights to both Alicante and Malaga, four to Palma Mallorca and two to Reus (Tarragona).

The decision to introduce these new routes has been made partly because of the delays on deciding about the third runway for Heathrow, and the fact that Southend has a huge catchment area.

In addition, this will see direct competition between the airline and rival easyJet which also operates out of the Southend airport.

Ryanair’s Chief Commercial Officer, David O’Brien said: “We are pleased to add

Ryanair cabin-crews’ summer strike threat

London Southend Airport to our UK base network.

Ryanair guests travelling to and from London and the Essex area can now enjoy low fares on a choice of 13 routes, through London Southend’s exceptionallypassenger-friendly terminal. Warwick Brady, CEO

of Stobart Group which manages the airport said: “We are delighted to welcome Ryanair and its guests to London Southend in 2019. We have a clear and focused strategy to grow our airport to welcome over five million passengers a year by 2022.”

RYANAIR is facing one of its largest-ever cabincrew strikes, with around 5,000 workers threatening to down tools this summer, across Europe.

If the low-cost airline fails to reach an agreement with the unions, it faces a maximum three-day strike, which would affect an estimated 115,000 passengers daily, as 1,800 cabin-crew members would strike in Spain alone.

Belgium, Portugal, Germany and Holland are all expected to join the

strikes over Ryanair’s insistence on following each country’s labour laws.

Despite reaching a deal, UK cabin crews have said they would support the strikes, and the airline has until tomorrow (Saturday) to reach an agreement with the unions.

Yet the unions said they would give a longerthan-required notice to strike, which means they could cause chaos during peak dates, at the end of July or the start of August.

A shock release for the Wolfpack five!

A NAVARRA court has ruled that five men, found guilty earlier this year of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old woman during Pamplona’s bull-running festival, should be released from prison, on bail.

The group, known as La Manada, or The Wolfpack, will each have to post a 6,000-euro bond to secure their release.

Agustin Martinez Becerra, the lawyer representing four of the men, said they would pay the bail fee as quickly as possible.

Jose Angel Prenda, Alfonso Cabezuelo, Antonio Manuel Guerrero, Jesus Escudero and Angel Boza will also be required to appear before the court on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and they are barred from entering the Madrid region, where the victim lives.

The Navarra court said the fact that the men lived more than 500 kilometres away

from the victim justified their release.

Justices also cited them not having a previous history of committing sex crimes, and that they had no means of seeking an “effective escape”.

The court added that the social outcry surrounding the gang was not sufficient reason to keep them in prison. The bench, comprising three judges, voted by a margin of two to one to allow the release.

Judge Jose Francisco Cobo, who was against the move, said that, in his dissenting opinion, the men

should be kept in prison to ensure the security, stability and tranquillity of the victim.

Three of the men were serving their sentences in Pamplona prison, while two were in Madrid’s Alcala de Henares’ military prison.

The decision has, reportedly, triggered mass protests in Pamplona and Madrid, following a previous ruling in the gang’s trial.

Having been acquitted of rape, they were found guilty of the lesser offence of sexual assault, which in itself sparked furious rallies across Spain.

‘Gag Law’ to be scrapped SPAIN’S Government plans to reform a law that gives police the power to hand out sanctions, which have been used to ban demonstrations outside parliament, among other measures.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s left-leaning PSOE party is, reportedly, in talks with other parties in Spain’s Congress to work towards reforming the Citizen Safety Law, passed in 2015.

The PSOE is aiming to repeal some of the provisions of what the party has branded a ‘gag law’.

Sanchez described its reform as “urgent” during last month’s no-confidence debates on his predecessor, Mariano Rajoy.

He told ministers: “The government that emerges from this no-confidence motion will start work on repealing the most virulent aspects of the Gag Law.” A PSOE Congress group of three deputies has been formed to help gain backing from other parties for the law change.

The Basque Nationalist

PNV party is leaning towards modifying the law, to include protections for protests and trade-union activity. The centrist Ciudadanos are also in favour of this approach.

The PSOE and leftist Podemos would prefer to repeal the law altogether and return to measures set out in an earlier, citizen-safety law, passed in 1992.

The Citizen Safety Law was introduced by the Partido Popular (PP) when it governed the country. Its provisions included the restricting of demonstrations near the Congress or Senate, taking “unauthorised” pictures of police officers, as well as halting evictions and non-violent protests such as sit-ins.

Breaking the law could result in a person being fined, from 100 euros to an impossible 600,000, for the most serious offences.

The PP argued that it would make demonstrations a lot easier because it would keep violence out of them.

The PSOE, then the opposition party, said the PP was attempting to craft a “police state” in Spain with the law.

Baby you can drive my car!

AT midnight last Saturday, women living in Saudi Arabia were allowed, finally, to drive vehicles officially, after a decadesold driving ban was lifted.

The decision to make the change was announced last September, and the Saudi authorities issued the first licences to women, earlier this month.

Car manufacturers, especially those from the US, were quick to start advertising their cars in the oilrich kingdom.

And some of their adverts, were both artistic and clever, considering this is still an extremely conservative country, despite the recent steps towards liberalisation, promoted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Saudi Arabia has a high percentage of people under the age of 30, and the country is slowly, but surely, moving towards a more moderate attitude in its religious observances.

Until now, it was the only country in the world where women were banned from driving, and, therefore, they had to be ferried around by their families or chauffeurs.

But according to Amnesty International, at least eight women who campaigned for the right to drive have been arrested and are awaiting trial.

Drunk driver is a real trolley-dolly

POLICE on patrol couldn’t believe their eyes on Monday when they saw a vehicle being driven down Avenida San Sebastian, right in the middle of Santa Cruz city centre.

To make matters worse for the driver, he was towing a shopping trolley, attached to the back of the car.

After stopping the car, Local Police breathalysed the driver, who was well over the alcohol limit allowed.

The car was towed away, and the driver was charged with driving under the influence, as well as committing crimes against public safety.

Boy, 15, involved in horrific gang-bang!

POLICE detained three men and a 15-year-old boy, after charging them with sexual assaulting a drunken girl aged 16.

The incident occurred on Saturday night in Gran Canaria, near a popular tourist resort in the South.

And it is understood that the girl, who had been drinking heavily, of her own volition, was raped by all four.

To add insult to injury, the shocking episode was recorded on a mobile phone by at least two of the gang members.

All four spent Tuesday night in a cell at the National Police headquarters, in San Bartolommeo de Tirajana.

But the teenager, who has had a troubled family life, is well-known to the cops as a result. He appeared before a juvenile court on Wednesday and was sent

to a Las Palmas centre for errant minors.

The previous night, onduty police had growing concerns after hearing the gang celebrating their

gang-bang in the cell.

They appeared happy with their achievement, calling themselves the New Manada or Wolfpack.

That particular gang,

comprising five men, are making headlines in this newspaper again this week, following a similar incident at the 2016 Navarra bullrunning festival.

In the mood for reggae THE Feeling Festival, which began yesterday (Thursday) in Adeje’s CDTCA, continues today in Adeje with free cultural events.

The Festival then comes to a conclusion tomorrow (Saturday) with a superb Reggae concert in the municipal football stadium.

Tickets for the concert are available online, at tomatickets.es, ticketbell. es or in these stores: El Rincón de Tintín, Loca María Grow Shop, Sonora Discos and the Palm Beach Surf Shop.

Adeje is hosting the Feeling Festival for the second year, and there’s a terrific reggae line-up of national and international artists.

Zebenzui Chinea Linares, Councillor for Participation and Social Harmony, said: “We are really interested in the social themes that are part of the overall festival, and are delighted to see them in Adeje again.”

The Council has cooperated in setting up a number of the first two days’ events, including a risotherapy (laughter therapy) workshop and participation in a roundtable discussion on “the invisibility of women”, with

the Council’s mobile youth unit in place.

Inma Galván and Leo Mansito, co-ordinator and director, respectively, of New Events productions, said the events were geared for everyone.

They will also be asking the public to donate to a fundraising effort for Canarian NGO Solidarity and the Pedro Jiménez foundation, among others.

Taylor Austin, of the Open Arms organisation, said it was founded in 2015 and that its “principal mission was refugee sea-rescues of those fleeing persecution and/or poverty”.

The company’s founders, who worked in sea rescue and life-saving, had plenty of experience along the Spanish coasts, helping those in need.

Saturday is reggae day in the Municipal football stadium, with performances from Alborosie, as well as Tarrus Riley, featuring Dean Fraser and Israel Vibration.

Also in the line-up are Sumerr (Jamaica); Canarians One Xe Band; Lioness Den; Isaiah; Don Virgilio; Dada Wanche; A’Jah Porfecía Crew; Lava Sound and DJ Chiqui Dubs, as well as Triggafinga Intl Sound and the Tenerife Dancehall Crew.

Senseless battering by a heartless neighbour A MAN aged 21 battered a neighbour, punching and kicking him in the head so much that many facial bones were broken, as was his nose, and he lost several teeth.

The beating happened at a public park on an industrial estate, in the Jinamar municipality of Gran Canaria.

An official complaint was made by the victim in hospital, after he was stabilised. He claimed that a local man entered the park, and approached him. Then, without saying a word, he punched him to the ground, and kicked him.

There were several witnesses to the attack, and one of them soon made a call to the emergency services, requesting an ambulance and

begging for help, because the victim was bleeding profusely from his head and face.

When the ambulance arrived, medics immediately transferred the victim to hospital because of the seriousness of his injuries.

After being seen by several doctors, and, following several X-rays, the victim was diagnosed with facial fractures, along with a broken nose and missing teeth.

Once the victim was stable, he made his complaint official, and gave the police a helpful description of his attacker.

This enabled them to identify the assailant, who was arrested instantly and is now in police custody, awaiting a court hearing.

Cave-dweller’s kids are cut down from 36 to 23 A MAN who lives in a cave with three women, and 25 of the 36 children he has fathered with them, has had 13 kids taken into care by Spanish social services.

Police raided the home of 61-year-old Juan Manuel, known as “El Canuto”, in Marchal, Granada, and took away 11 of his offspring.

They also had to force him to hand over two others the next day.

All are aged between three and 15, with some taken to a care home and others placed with foster families, amid accusations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse, as well as violence between their father and mothers, and negligence.

It comes in the wake of a probe by a public prosecutor, which concluded that the girls were at the greatest risk. According to a written report, El Canuto has six children with a woman named Piedad, 16 with María Dolores, and 14 with Soledad, of which two have already died.

The document spells out that he “controls the rules of behaviour for all members of the family (including women, adults and children), based on a one-way, authoritarian,

A MEXICAN town’s entire police force has been arrested, following the murder of a mayoral candidate, just days before voters were set to go the polls.

Businessman Fernando Angeles Juarez was gunned down outside his hotel, becoming one of more than 120 politicians or candidates to be murdered in the runup to Mexico’s general elections on Sunday.

The 64-year-old, mayoral hopeful, had taken a stand against poverty, inequality and corruption, said a close friend.

Following his murder, federal forces arrested the local police director and 27 officers, on suspicion of involvement in the crime, which took place in Ocampo.

Authorities in the western state of Michoacan said all members of the town’s

communication style, and a regime of behavioural and emotional tyranny and oppression”.

It adds: “That disciplinary control is carried out via threats, humiliation and alleged physical abuse. There is also a clear difference in terms of gender, with discrimination against the women and girls.”

Investigators say the Junta de Andalucia regional government may, eventually, assume custody of the children.

El Canuto became a minor celebrity after being portrayed as a colourful but harmless character on a TV documentary 10 years ago.

But the new inquiry claims

his cave house has no running water and hardly any furniture.

He boasts that he has never worked a day in his life and has a criminal record, although he has never been jailed.

Other townsfolk are, allegedly, scared to discuss him, and even the mayor refused to comment, in the wake of the swoop by 40 Guardia Civil officers.

They were wearing bulletproof vests and carrying submachine guns, accompanied by social workers who know the family.

The mayor said: “You have to understand our situation: journalists leave and we have to stay here

with our families. We have to be very careful, because things happen later and they are irreversible.”

El Canuto has denied mistreating his family, telling news agency EFE that his children had been “kidnapped”, before insisting they had not been living in sub-standard conditions.

The probe was launched after two of the daughters last year ran away from home and told detectives they had been sexually abused.

Investigators say the Junta de Andalucia regional government may, eventually, assume custody of the children.

It’s no use calling the cops; they’ve been banged up! police department had been detained for questioning by their own Internal Affairs department, for, possibly, violating the police code of conduct.

The town’s public security secretary, Oscar Gonzalez Garcia, was also arrested.

Local police tried, initially, to stop federal agents from arresting the police director.

But they returned with reinforcements and arrested Garcia… and the entire local police force.

All were held on suspicion of complicity in the killing of Mr Angeles, said the local media.

Prosecutors have accused them of having links to organised crime groups.

Mr Angeles, who was shot dead last Thursday, was competing for the centreleft Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), which governs the long-troubled state. The surprise arrests happened in the early hours of last Sunday, and Mexicans will vote for a President and

hundreds of federal, state and municipal posts this Sunday. But the campaign, which has been marred by violence, has been one of the bloodiest in Mexico’s modern history.

Dozens of politicians, candidates and activists have been murdered by criminal groups and gangsters, seeking to wipe out or intimidate those who are promising to be tough on crime, including drugtrafficking, and corruption.

Mr Angeles is the third politician to be murdered in the state of Michoacan in less than two weeks.

Women’s complaint upheld over transgender intruders

THE British Government has pledged that women will continue to have the right to exclude transgender people from female-only changing rooms, lavatories and swimming sessions.

The promise was made after a series of controversial incidents, in which women complained about transgender people being allowed into female-only spaces.

The Government was also responding to concerns over plans to allow transgender people to change their gender legally, without having to undergo medical checks.

Feminists feared it could have unintended consequences, such as allowing predatory men to masquerade as transgender to enter women-only spaces.

But women will not be put ahead of those who are biologically female.

Yet in one case, a woman who requested a female nurse to perform her cervical smear was called in by a person with stubble.

Another woman, who feared men, was locked in an NHS women’s psychiatric ward with a burly 6ft transgender patient.

Some feminists have hit back with protests, including a group of women, assured they were welcome to swim as self-identifying men at Hampstead men’s pond in London, arrived in “mankinis”, only to be escorted away by the police.

But a Government Equalities Office statement promises: “Advancing the rights of trans people does not have to compromise women’s rights.

“We have no intention of amending the Equality Act 2010, which is the legislation that allows for single-sex spaces.

Irishman guilty of murder in Malaga as a getaway man DUBLINER James Quinn was last Friday convicted of murdering Gary Hutch, yet the jury ruled that he was the getaway driver and not the gunman.

Jurors also decided the prosecutors had not proved that Quinn was acting on the orders of gangland bosses.

That means he cannot be sentenced to life, when the trial judge decides how long he should spend behind bars.

The jury, comprising five women and four men, found the Irishman guilty of a second charge of illegal-weapons’ possession at a Malaga court, where his trial began the previous Monday.

State prosecutor Jose Barba, following the jury’s verdict, called on judge Ernesto Carlos Manzano to jail 35-year-old Quinn for a total of 28 years: 25 years for murder and three years for the weapons’ conviction.

But Quinn’s defence team urged the judge, who was expected to deliver his written sentence in a couple of weeks, to jail him for the minimum 20 years a murder conviction carries in Spain, and two years for the gun crime.

The Dubliner showed no signs of emotion when told of the jury verdict, delivered by a translator.

He waved to a woman in the public gallery, and shook his lawyer’s hand, before being led away by police.

The murder verdict was unanimous, the jury forewoman telling the court the jury were convicting Quinn of murder, as a necessary participant in the brutal 24th September 2015 killing.

She also said the jury ruled that it was proved he had acted as a lookout and getaway driver, because of a baseball cap with his DNA on it, found in a stolen BMW which was dumped near the murder scene.

But, she said, they could not conclude that he was the man who chased

34-year-old Hutch around a swimming pool at his gated estate in Miraflores, near Fuengirola, before shooting him dead.

The state prosecutor offered jurors the option of

considering that Quinn had been the getaway driver and not the gunman, in a last-minute indictment he handed them on the trial’s third day.

He told the court trying

Quinn that he was still seeking a murder conviction, and the same life sentence for the Irishman as a “necessary participant” in the killing, even if jurors could not support his principal argument that he pulled the trigger.

But the possibility of a life sentence was cancelled out because jurors rejected prosecution claims that Quinn belonged to a criminal organisation, blamed for the killing.

Yet the prosecutor said it was linked to the deadly, ongoing feud between the Hutch and Kinahan families.

Jurors also ruled it hadn’t been proved that Quinn was paid for the murder.

Quinn’s defence lawyer, Pedro Apalategui, said he would appeal to a higher regional court, adding: “We completely disagree with the verdict.”

The gangland feud, said to have been sparked by Gary Hutch’s murder, has cost the lives of at least 15 people, in Ireland and Spain.

Home bias vs diversification: some truths about investing

By Paul Montague

Partner, blevins Franks

THINK about where you hold your savings and investments. Is there one area that stands out in terms of geographical region and asset type?

For many British expatriates, it is common to have a skew towards UK assets and investments.

Britons often tend to favour property as an approach to invest and grow capital.

Home may be where the heart is, but is it where the savvy expatriate investor should focus? Here, we explore the tax implications of two types of “home bias”, UK-based investments and a concentration in property, and look at why diversification is so important.

UK investments With familiar rules and benefits, it is understandable that many expatriates keep savings and investments in UK structures.

However, once you no longer live in the UK, this approach becomes less beneficial.

ISAs, UK life assurance policies and pooled vehicles such as unit trusts, for example, lose UK tax relief once you are resident elsewhere, and interest or dividends received can become liable to taxes in Spain.

Non-UK residents should explore investment options that may be more taxefficient in Spain, while providing additional estate planning advantages and currency flexibility.

Even if you remain UK

resident, being overly weighted in UK investments is ill-advised, especially amidst Brexit uncertainty.

To minimise risk, it is important to spread your interests across geographical areas, sectors, markets and asset types, in line with your risk profile.

Property While investing in real estate has advantages, it can carry a heavy tax burden, including council tax, stamp duty and capitalgains taxes.

Additionally, non-Spanish residents with Spanish property, and assets worth 700,000+ euros, generally face an annual wealth tax.

For Spanish residents, worldwide assets, including UK property, count towards wealth-tax liability.

Taxes on UK properties have surged in recent years, including new liability

for expatriates on capital gains (since April 2015), a stamp duty surcharge on second homes, increased council taxes on vacant properties and the gradual elimination of buy-to-let tax relief. Since 2017, UK residential property owned through certain offshore structures has attracted UK inheritance tax.

You need to calculate the overall tax burden of investment property alongside other expenses, such as management fees and maintenance costs, plus inflation, to establish the real returns.

There is also the issue of liquidity - being able to access your capital when needed. With property, it can take many months to retrieve your initial investment, and you could invite a loss by selling at the wrong time.

Why diversification matters Having a home bias, in either sense, does not just present tax efficiency and liquidity concerns.

When you concentrate your money in one or just a few areas, it becomes exposed to more investment risk. By spreading across different regions, market sectors and asset types, including equities, gilts, corporate bonds and cash, as well as property, your capital has the chance to produce positive returns over time, without being vulnerable to any single area under-performing.

Ultimately, successful investing is about having a strategy specifically based around your personal circumstances, time horizon, needs, aims and risk tolerance. British expatriates in the Canary Isles can benefit from professional

guidance from an adviser with in-depth knowledge of the tax regimes and investment opportunities in both countries.

With personalised, crossborder advice, you can reduce your exposure to risk, at the same time as ensuring you hold all of your assets, home and away, in the most tax-efficient way possible.

Tax rates, scope and reliefs may change.

Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual is advised to seek personalised advice.

PM’s big No to more migrants

SPAIN has rejected a charity boat, carrying 230 migrants, on the grounds that it can’t be “the searescue organisation for all of Europe”.

New Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said there must

be a “common answer” to the growing crisis, which has to come from “various countries” in the EU. As the boat headed to Malta, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte

said his country would take in some of the migrants.

The offer came after his Deputy Prime Minister, Matteo Salvini, tweeted that Italy had stopped an “invasion” after forcing

two charity boats to dock elsewhere.

Spain took in 630 migrants from the Gibraltarregistered Aquarius ship, and two others, earlier this month after Malta and Italy refused.

Plusvalue Tax refunds By mariano zunino siri

Registered lawyer at the tenerife bar association

ARUCAS Town Hall, in Gran Canaria, has been ordered to return to a tax-payer, 100% of what he

paid in Plusvalue Tax for selling a property there, without even making a profit.

The judgements of the Las Palmas Courts confirmed the theory, which considers the liquidations and selfassessments of the tax on the increase of land value (Plusvalue Tax) should be annulled, having been declared null and void by the Constitutional Court.

The Courts also ruled in

favour of the claimant, relating to the tax calculation, and ordered the Town Hall to return the overcharged sum, plus legal interest since the payment.

The taxpayer first filed an appeal for restitution of monies before the Town Hall, and, because it went unanswered, he decided to settle the issue legally.

The Courts finally ruled that the monies should be refunded, accepting

the Constitutional Court’s annulment of the articles of the Law, on which the Plusvalue Tax is based.

These judgements have opened the door to other taxpayers, especially those living in the Canary Islands.

Claimants are those people who have self-liquidated (autoliquidación) the tax, as long as a four-year period since they paid has not elapsed.

It also affects people whose Town Hall has liquidated

the tax. But in these circumstances, taxpayers have just one month to claim his/her money back, from the moment notice of liquidation has been received.

Wimbledon 2018

Monday 2nd July, BBC2, 11.00

Sunday 1st July, BBC2, 21.00

Sue Barker introduces live coverage from the opening day of the 2018 Wimbledon Championships from the All England Club.

In the men’s event, Roger Federer is the defending champion, while Spain’s Garbine Muguruza won the ladies’ singles last year.

Wimbledon coverage continues on BBC One and BBC Two for the rest of the week, with a nightly highlights show on BBC Two from 8.30pm.

Romesh Ranganathan is a comedian and TV presenter whose idea of a nice trip away is two weeks in the Algarve.

In this new three-part series for BBC Two he’s travelling way beyond his comfort zone and the world of complimentary breakfast buffets, to some of the most beautiful, but dangerous places on earth.

Hosted by locals and fully immersed in the local culture, he gets an eye-opening, and at times heartstopping, insider’s guide to countries that are big on natural beauty, character and charm.

In this first episode, Romesh gets an insider’s guide to Haiti to find out if his preconceptions about the Caribbean island are right, or if there is more to the country than the “sensational headlines” he’s seen on the news.

Everything Romesh has ever heard about Haiti has been negative. They had dictator who terrorised the island, a 2010 earthquake that crippled the country and then a devastating hurricane. That’s all before President Trump called it something unmentionable.

But are all the bad news reports fair? Does Haiti deserve its reputation? Haiti is in the middle of the Caribbean, surrounded by Cuba and Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. It should be paradise why doesn’t anyone go there?

To find out, Romesh Ranganathan, comedian and coward, is travelling across the Atlantic to spend a week in the country. This isn’t his typical holiday destination - he avoids ‘culture’ and he rarely leaves the comfort of the hotel swimming pool. In almost every conceivable way he is the wrong person to send, except one - he is honest.

Landing in the Haitian capital Port au Prince, Romesh sets to work getting to grips with a country that - arguably more than any other - has suffered from a bad reputation.

Guided by his host - Peabody award-winning journalist Jeremy Dupin - Rom throws himself into Haitian life. It’s a chaotic journey that will take him from the iron market to vodou ceremonies, from cathedrals destroyed by the earthquake to the slums.

So has the world got it wrong about Haiti? But has the world got it wrong about Haiti? Romesh sets off to find out.

Following the success of his French Adventure, chef James Martin is setting off on the next leg of his journey - the U S of A. This is a trip that James has been longing to take and it’s a road trip as road trips are meant to be! He’ll travel with a range of different machines - including a 70s Pontiac and a vintage Porsche.

Starting in Napa Valley, James and his trusty crew will head to LA, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, New Orleans, The Hamptons and more, all culminating in New York.

In this peak time re-version of the popular daytime series, James drops in on his old friend, chef-to-the-stars Wolfgang Puck at his Beverly Hills restaurant and cooks on Santa Monica’s famous beach. Plus, James cooks in front of a mural dedicated to his favourite ingredient - butter!

By exploring food which is more surprising, exciting, diverse and enthralling than any of us imagine, James will get under the skin of a nation perhaps more troubled and divided than it has been for a generation, discovering that it can still amaze the spirited traveller with a dizzying range of fantastic cuisine and bucket list experiences… many of which James has a go at.

James conjures up a vision of the food scene in the USA both unexpected and enthralling, adding his own versions of classic dishes.

History-maker Roger Federer claimed a record eighth men’s singles title with victory over Croatian Marin Cilic. Spaniard Garbine Muguruza by contrast won her first Wimbledon crown by beating five-time ladies champion Venus Williams.

Great Britain’s Jamie Murray secured a second mixed doubles title, this time alongside three-time ladies champion Martina Hingis. The men’s doubles was won after an epic five set match, while the ladies’ doubles final produced the first 6-0, 6-0 victory since 1953.

TV Guide

Food Unwrapped reveals more secrets about the food in our supermarket trolleys. Jimmy Doherty wants to know why jelly won’t set if you add chopped papaya to it. In South Africa, Jimmy discovers that the exotic fruit contains enzymes that can also help tenderise meat. But could they also help the human gut? Jimmy quizzes Holland and Barrett, who sell papaya extract as an after-meal supplement. In Hawaii, Kate Quilton visits America’s only tuna auction to find out why some fish have dangerous levels of mercury, while others don’t. She also visits a ground-breaking tech start-up in San Francisco who hope to feed the world by growing fish flesh in a dish. And Matt Tebbutt wants to know why homemade ice cubes are always cloudy, when the ones that you buy in shops are always clear.

They’re all made with tap water, so what’s the trick?

Choose your car carefully

By Emma

from Motorworld

WHEN you are considering buying a car, be it new, second hand or merely an upgrade to your current model, there are many things to consider.

Firstly, you should decide on your budget and have contingency arrangements in place, in case the car you fall in love with is a little more expensive than you planned for.

Once you have decided on your budget, you should factor in other expenses, such as the cost of insurance, as well as potential transfer fees, although a lot of cars sold include this in the price. If

you are a serious buyer, it can be negotiated.

The costs of both new and second-hand cars vary from make to make, and differ from UK prices.

In general, new cars tend to be a little cheaper than those in the UK, but second-hand cars hold their value, and are more expensive than the same model over there. Part of the reason for this is that we are on a small island, and there are substantially fewer cars

than, for example, on the Spainish mainland.

Both the transfer and insurance costs differ from the UK, where changing ownership is fairly straightforward, and only involves filling out a form and sending it off to Swansea DVLA. Here, the cost of transferring a car can be quite substantial, depending on the make, model and engine size, as well as the age and official valuation of the vehicle. It

also cannot be completed unless the purchaser has an NIE number and/or a Residencia, an in-date passport, and proof of address such as a Certificate of Empadronmiento or Registered Escritura.

Once you have decided on the budget, you should think about what size you want, for example two, four, five, seven or nine seats, and whether you want manual or automatic transmission, because this will affect the type of vehicle you can look at.

It is not such a good idea here to set your sights on a specific make and model, because they are often just not available. A woman will tend to choose a car by size and colour, a white Seat Ibiza, for example, whereas a man will consider more options eg engine size, fuel consumption and size.

Women tend to prefer a smaller-sized car, probably because it’s easier to find a parking space on all their shopping trips!

You should always ask to

test drive the vehicle and ask when the cam belt was last changed. If this has not been done, it should be undertaken as a matter of priority (dependant on the age and mileage of the vehicle). By test driving a car you will get a feel of how it suits your needs, even though you may be a little nervous at the time.

People often start looking for a small or compact car and end up with something completely different, simply because they had a test drive in something they had not previously considered.

When buying a car, insurance costs will play a part, but they sometimes vary quite substantially from the UK. Here, it is the car, not the person, who is insured.

Depending on your policy, it will mean that, in the event of you becoming ill when out, or perhaps having a little too much to drink, another driver (within the specified age limits and criteria) can safely drive your car home.

Kidneys - top 10 deadly habits

By Val Sainsbury YOUR kidneys are two of the most important organs in your body. They duo filter your blood, produce hormones, eliminate toxins, absorb minerals, produce urine, neutralise acids, and more.

They play vital roles in several of your body's major functions, and if they're not properly taken care of, they can develop some serious health concerns in the long run.

Damage and the decline of kidney health can go unnoticed for several years.

They're tough and can weather a lot, and are even able to function with as little as 20% of their capacity. Just like most things, however, they do have their breaking points.

Because of how long your kidneys can holster disease and decline, kidney diseases are often referred to as “silent�, so people often won't realise that these are

affecting them until it's too late.

Not drinking enough water Some of your kidneys' top functions are filtering blood and eliminating toxins and waste from you body. If you're frequently dehydrated and aren't getting enough water, then waste and toxins can start to build up, and cause damage to your kidneys.

Too much salt in your diet Salt is an important mineral for your health, but people tend to consume too much on a daily basis, which causes blood pressure to rise, ultimately putting a lot

of stress on the kidneys.

Frequently delaying the call of nature Your kidneys play a major role in producing urine and getting it out of your body. If you often resist the urge to urinate because you're too busy, or occupied by other things, then a lot of pressure gets placed on your kidneys which can, ultimately, lead to kidney disease, kidney stones, kidney failure and incontinence.

Kick the sugar habit The over-consumption of sugar can play a big role in the health and functionality of your kidneys. Studies

have shown how people who consume two or more sugary drinks a day end up having protein in their urine, which is one of the first indicators that your kidneys aren't working as they should be.

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can end up being the underlying causes of several health concerns.

For instance, when it comes to your kidneys, being deficient in Vitamin B6 and magnesium (one of today's top nutrient deficiencies) can increase the risk of kidney stones.

Too much animal protein Eating large amounts of meats, especially red, processes a lot of protein into your system, which can increase the metabolic load on your kidneys. The overconsumption of protein tends to overwork your kidneys, and this consistent stress can lead to kidney damage and dysfunction.

Sleep deprivation Sleeping gives your body the chance it needs to recuperate and heal, including any stress or damage done to your kidneys.

Chronic sleep deprivation keeps your body from being able to heal properly.

Caffeine habit Caffeine can also raise your blood pressure and place a lot of stress on your kidneys.

This can cause damage over time if you consume too much coffee, or other highlycaffeinated beverages.

Painkiller abuse While it may seem harmless, frequently taking painkillers can put a lot of extra tension on your kidneys, and cause harm or damage.

Alcohol consumption An occasional glass of wine or a drink doesn't do too much harm to our bodies, but alcohol is, actually, a legal toxin. When an excessive amount is consumed, on a frequent basis, it can lead to kidney damage and disease later on.

Estrellas

Estrella’s stars shone brightly!

by Tara Scarlata

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of going to see the Estrellas Theatre School’s adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, at Adeje’s Cultural Centre.

The show was magical, a performance well deserving of a bigger stage. The cast were outstanding, with children ranging from five years upwards, and they brought the production to life.

The smaller children put their hearts and souls into every step - and every word.

For children of this age to be perfectly in time, with lines, songs and choreography to

remember, plus multiple costume changes, I don’t know how they did it!

Beauty, played by Harmony Scott, really brought the essence to the character.

She made Belle come alive, and you could see the emotion in her performance.

CJ Wagstaff ’s Beast both scared and enchanted us.

What fantastic acting and vocals by this bright star.

The other main characters were all very talented, and, with accents to enhance the characters, notably

Mrs Potts, all made this performance special.

The choreography and costumes wouldn’t be out of place in a long-running production, and the amount of time and effort that had been put in to this was evident. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show, and didn’t want to leave the theatre at the end!

Congratulations, Estrellas, for a wonderful production.

We’re already looking forward to the next one!

TO: Editor Dear Editor, LAST night, (Thursday 21st June) I attended a most amazing concert at the Auditorio Infanta Leonor, Los Cristianos.

The YOSA Youth Orchestra (50 musicians and 30 parents) had travelled from Texas the previous day, with all their many instruments, as part of a tour of the Canary Islands and Spain.

They gave an incredible performance, entitled Rhapsody in Red White and Blue, consisting, mainly, of Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin pieces, including Rhapsody In Blue, played by highly-professional solo pianist, Daniel Anastasio. All the pieces were conducted by Troy Peters, their musical director.

A full programme of the music, presented in both Spanish and English, together with a write-up of the tour and background information in relation to the town of San Antonio, Texas, was provided by the orchestra.

I feel that this incredible event, and the tremendous efforts of all the people involved in the YOSA Orchestra, and the organisers, should not go by without a tribute being included in the Canarian Weekly, to thank everyone for the very memorable evening.

Cats Welfare News

It's the law!

WE would like to remind you all that it is obligatory to have your dog microchipped, and registered at your local town hall.

Every dog in our care is microchipped, and, once adopted, we change the information to the new owner. It makes our job much harder to contact the owner of a dog if it arrives at our refuge unchipped, and it can cause your animal a lot of unecessary stress.

We have about 80 Canarian Podencos in the refuge, and many arrive in awful conditions. A lot of them are just abandoned when they are of no use to their owners, but, with their gentle natures, they do make lovely pets. Please do come and visit us if you are interested in adopting or walking our dogs.

Fundraiser Once again, please rem-

35 CW

ember our next fund raising event on Saturday, 7th July at 2pm. It will be an afternoon of fun for all the family, and the dogs, with the finale being the foam party.

Assistance required Please contact us if you can assist in any way on 922 778630. We always need tinned dog-food for our older animals, plus blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys, collars and leads.

You can call into the Accion refuge on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2-5pm, and Saturdays between 1-4pm.

Find us here Accion del Sol is situated directly under the Ecological Park (exit 52) on the northbound TF-1. Head for the giant windmills, and you’ll find us in the buildings on the right-hand side. E-mail the refuge at teneriffa@ aktiontier.org or, for further details, visit our Facebook page: action tier Accion del Sol.

Volunteers needed WE are looking for volunteers to help with trapping and transporting cats/kittens.

You will need lots of patience, but your expenses will be paid. Please contact us if you can help.

Ladies' clothes We urgently need ladies' tops, shoes and dresses to sell in our shop on San Blas, Golf del Sur (behind Hiperdino), which is open seven days a week, 10-6pm.

We also require cat food, litter, old newspapers, sheets, towels, bedding etc for the cats and kittens in our care, and also good quality/ condition items for sale. If you don't have transport, or have large, bulky items such as furniture and household effects to donate, please ring Mark on 6365 90557, and he will arrange collection from you.

Anything's possible!

Do you live in the UK but would like to adopt one of our lovely cats? Do you have to relocate there, and are worried about how to move your cat? It's easier, and less expensive, than you might think!

The services of The Animal Mover allow us to send cats and kittens (from four months old) to the UK, including Scotland, Ireland and the Channel Islands.

They deliver the cat to your door, and you can even spread

K9 Animal News LAST week, this lovely girl was dumped in our fenced area over the road, despite there being a warning sign saying this area contained aggressive dogs.

Thankfully, they didn't harm her, but the poor thing was terrified. It took several attempts to gain her trust, so that we could move her from the corner of the fenced area into a comfortable kennel.

Once we had looked at her more closely, we could clearly see that she had been used for breeding, because her nipples were very large and deformed.

And she was absolutely covered in fleas! We made the immediate decision to bath her with anti-parasite shampoo, in an attempt to make her more comfortable.

The water ran red from the amount of flea dust on her skin. In addition to this, she had developed several lesions on her legs and back end, from constantly sitting and lying on a hard surface.

She was also starving, and practically skin and bones!

It was clear that she had

the cost over three months.

Microchip offer!

If your pet cat doesn't have a microchip, you're breaking the law. Most people know that it's a legal requirement for dogs to have microchips, but this also applies to cats.

Tenerife Loves Karaoke

29th June - 5th July 2018

The final’s in sight!

IT has been a busy week for the Tenerife Loves Karaoke crew.

Last Friday (22nd June) saw the final heat at Leonardo’s, Tuesday was the first of the semifinals at Howlin’ at the Moon, followed, the next day, by the second semi-final at Happy Days.

Last Friday’s final heat at Leonardo’s took place after the footie, which hasn’t really interrupted the competition. Proceedings got under way with Gordon Slayney inviting all singers to register, and put in their song choices.

This was to be the last time he would host a Tenerife Loves Karaoke heat, because he has now returned to the UK. Once all contestants were booked in, Gordon opened the show with a song and got the audience, another packed house, in the mood for what was to come.

We had a full complement of singers, young and old,

and a great variety of songs including Your Song from Dave, You and I from Jennifer, Flying Without Wings from Norman, All Rise from Clive, and, to end the first half, At Last from Janet.

Steven opened the second half with Photograph, then Muriel sang I Love Rock and Roll. Karen performed Writing On The Wall, and Fallon chose Lay Me Down.

After a short break, the judges confirmed who would be going into the sing-off. Fallon, Steven, Dave and Jennifer were the successful four. Their second-song choices were given to Gordon, and it got underway with Steven

singing Feel, followed by Fallon performing Stay.

Dave sang Your Song, and Jennifer gave her rendition of Forget You. What another great night we had witnessed.

Everyone performed brilliantly, and gave the crowd at Leonardo’s a fun-filled, entertaining evening. However, it is a competition, and it was confirmed that the two contestants going into this year’s semi-finals would be Jennifer and Steven. Congratulations to them both.

Each received their heat trophies, and meal vouchers from this year’s sponsors, Roy’s Pizza and Indian Tandoori Restaurant.

We would like to thank everyone who entered the heat at Leonardo’s, and the owners and staff who made this another memorable heat. Now we head to the semi- finals.

Howlin’ at the Moon saw 11 contestants competing, but only nine performed at Happy Days because one contestant withdrew through illness, and another didn’t turn up. They were all vying for places at this year’s final, which will be held at Showtime Tenerife this evening (Friday 29th).

Both venues were packed out with supporters and onlookers, and each and every one of the contestants gave it their all.

They entertained everyone, receiving great appreciation from the crowds. The format was the same as the heats.

However, there were onstage eliminations after all contestants had sung, until there were just three left, four having been put straight through to the final, and four sent home.

These three were then asked to sing again, to help the judges decide who would get the last place.

Also, in true Tenerife Loves Karaoke fashion, there was a twist; wild cards into the final were awarded. For a full list of finalists, see page seven.

The prize that the 12 contestants will be competing for is 1,000 euros in cash, an opportunity to perform at this year’s Tenerife Entertainment Awards, a week’s allinclusive Canarian Cruise with Pulmantur, courtesy of Vantastic Tours and Festival of Legends, along with the opportunity for Keddy’s Entertainment to create his or her own portfolio and showcase, and the chance for a career in entertainment.

Everyone at Tenerife Loves Karaoke would like to thank this year’s sponsor, Roy’s Pizza and Indian Tandoori Restaurant, all the venues and their staff who hosted the heats and semi-finals, and all the contestants who entered the competition and have given us memorable nights of fun and entertainment.

Lastly, good luck to all the finalists. Remember - you have to sing it, to win it!

easily grown in your home, balcony or garden. You should occasionally water and fertilise it, and use its potent medicinal properties, whenever needed!

Aloe Vera gel can be found in all health stores and pharmacies. You should extract the natural gel from the leaves and use them to treat various health issues.

Transfer merry-go-round

By Colin Kirby

CD Tenerife update

NAME-DROPPING can usually keep CD Tenerife fans guessing, and hoping, about new arrivals to boost the squad.

It has been slim pickings this summer, but one strong possibility is the signing of striker Gorka Gortuzeta from Bilbao Athletic, of the Segunda B, which is a division below Tenerife.

The 21-year-old, who had a strong 2017-18 season, scoring nine goals in 21 games, seems determined to move to a higher level.

Tenerife coach Joseba Etzeberria was a playing legend with senior team Athletic Bilbao, and coached their youth team for a while, which could influence the choice of career path the young player takes.

Two players moving out are strikers Brian Martin and Giovanni Rodriguez. After seven years at the club, Brian was promoted to the senior Tenerife team last season. But, after struggling, he ended up back in the B

team. He has asked to be loaned out to gain experience, and the Segunda B division would be a good move because it is between Tenerife’s senior and B team.

The local boy has talent, but he needs to test himself at a decent level if he is to

Basketball

fulfil his potential. Candelaria-born Giovanni, at 19, is at an earlier stage of his career and didn’t figure in the first-team plans last season, though enhanced his reputation with 18 goals for the B team.

Had that team been pro-

moted, the two promising players would have had the bigger stage to improve on.

But a year away could be the making of them.

They can take inspiration from another local player, Jairo Izquierdo, who was released by Tenerife in 2016

at the age of 22, after being a first-team fringe player.

Jairo, who dropped a level, has been a key ingredient in helping Extremadura win promotion, so he’ll be relishing the chance to play against his old home team next season.

Women’s Basketball

Trio keep flag flying

AS Iberostar Tenerife await the new season’s fixtures, not all their players are enjoying a well-earned rest.

But they do not mind because international duty will be keeping a talented trio busy on other shores.

Rodrigo San Miguel, Fran Vazquez, and Javi Beiran are with Spain’s national squad, aiming to qualify for the World Championships in China next year.

Yesterday (Thursday), Spain played Slovenia in Ljubljana, before moving on to Malaga to

face Belarus on Sunday.

There will be more international adventures for Iberostar Tenerife in the new season, because they have been fast-tracked to the 26-team group stages of the European Champions League.

They will find out who they play in just over a week, and, meanwhile, the Tenerife club management have made offers to the players they want to keep.

These players have a couple of weeks to respond, before the club looks to fill gaps in the squad.

Spain’s touch of Magic PLANNING, as well as practice, makes perfect, and, with tickets going on sale this week, the Women’s World Basketball Championship moved another step nearer their Santa Cruz stage, between 22nd-30th September.

The top 16 nations will converge on the Tenerife capital, and the Quico Cabrera Arena is undergoing a 1.4m-euro make-over.

La Laguna’s Pabellon

Santiago Martin will also put on some games and provide training facilities.

Canada and the US will be among the favourites, but Spain hope to take advantage of their home support.

The Canary Islands will have one member in the Spanish squad, Leonor Rodriguez, from Gran Canaria.

She is known as Magic Leo, and the former Florida State college player has been

playing club basketball in Poland.

Media coverage and the influx of supporters is expected to net around 30m euros for the island.

Santa Cruz already has a growing reputation for staging big tournaments, with La Laguna hosting the 2017 European Champions League Final Four, won by Iberostar Tenerife. Tickets can be ordered through www.fiba.basketball

The home side also dis-

Run and Swim events

Sign up for night run, as well as a sea swim AS the sun goes down and the surfers dry their boards, 600 runners will be limbering up for this year’s Trail Nocturno run around El Medano.

EXTRA-TIME CD TENERIFE have come up with an inspired setting to launch their season-ticket campaign. Mount Teide is the highest point in Spain, and, on Tuesday, 3rd July, the date will match its height of 3,718 metres. Prices for the new season are expected to be pretty much pegged at last season’s level, which certainly won’t be steep.

SKATEBOARD tricks will be back on show in Los Cristianos church plaza this Sunday (1st July) from 4pm, and, this time, the competition centres on the mini-ramp. It’s always well-organised, with DJs adding a musical background, and plenty of medals for the winners of each skate-off.

SPANISH FOOTBALL is ringing the changes from next season. VAR (video assistant referee) is coming to La Primera, and will be extended to the Second Division the following season. Alcohol in stadiums could also become part of the match-day experience. Permission has now been granted for clubs to turn on the taps, but it remains to be seen which clubs take up the option.

The event begins at 9pm on Saturday, 14th July, and those interested must sign up a week earlier, on 7th July.

Everyone will run the same 12km distance, starting and finishing at the Plaza El Medano, by the seafront.

Each runner will be given a light to strap to his or her head, and a chip to record the time. These night events are extremely popular around Tenerife, and, at this time of year, the cool conditions are a welcome contrast after the daily sunshine.

To sign up, and pay the 18euro inscription fee, go to the website www.trimedano. com But if running doesn’t float your boat, try swimming.

The 23rd annual Travesia A Nado, from Playa del Arena to Puerto Santiago, takes place a week earlier, on

Saturday, 7th July. But you need to book your place by 2nd July.

There are plenty of different categories for the 960m swim, from one bay to the neighbouring one, around the headland, and it’s just

10 euros to take part.

Sign up at www. deportesantiagodelteide. com or call at the Pancracio Socas Garcia sports complex, just off the promenade in Playa del Arena, or call 922 868 108.

Adeje Sports Councillor Adolfo Alonso Ferrera underlined the importance placed by the local council on sporting activ-

ity, telling them: “Sport is important and something we all should enjoy. But we also have to make sure that studies are just as important in our children’s lives, so that they make have the best chance possible in the future.

“Success in sport depends on many factors, and we are not here to see our kids become superstars.

That can happen, yet it’s not the main objective. I

would like to congratulate you all for your efforts and dedication.”

During the closing ceremony, the various participating groups gave small demonstrations of what they had learned during the year.

Cllr Ferrera told those assembled: “This is a special afternoon, as we can see the results of weeks and months of work. I am so proud of everyone,

because, most importantly, we can see the enjoyment they have in their chosen sport.

“Furthermore, Adeje is a borough known for its fair play, ‘outside and inside’, and I congratulate you for that, too.”

During the week, the Council also named and congratulated the many Adeje athletes who enjoyed individual and team success during the season.

World Cup files Serena says she’s a GERMANY´S shock exit, and bottom place in their group, meant that, for the first time since 1938, they will not be progressing beyond the opening stage. The last World Cup holders to go out so soon were France, in 2002, thanks in no small part to an opening game defeat by Senegal.

SENEGAL have caught everyone’s attention with their training dances, so it’s not just England who have the world in motion. Their bright-red tracksuits and joyous enthusiasm have been a welcome contrast to some of the more extreme theatrics, from established world stars like Neymar and Suarez.

GERMAN fans are devastated by their early exit, but it was even worse for the dedicated 70-year-old fan, who made a pilgrimage to Russia on a tractor. Hubert Wirth took a month to trundle across, from a small village near Stuttgart, in his converted Lanz Bulldog relic, which is also his home. The 1,550-mile trek was pretty much trouble-free for the former Mercedes mechanic and his trusty companion, badger dog Hexe. But it’s going to feel like a much longer return trip as they take the Joachim Low road!

drug-testers’ target ON the eve of Wimbledon, American superstar Serena Williams has accused drugtesters of targeting her, unfairly, after she refused to be tested earlier this month.

The seven-times Wimbledon champion has been practising at the All England Club, after being seeded No.25 for the biggest Grand Slam event of all, which starts on Monday.

But Deadspin, a US website, has reported that she was involved in a row with a US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) officer, when he called at her Florida home on 14th June.

A test was not taken, but Williams still complained to the head of women’s tennis about her treatment. Serena, winner of 23 Grand Slams, even tweeted on 21st May that she had been drug-tested twice in one week.

In fact, USADA records show that Williams, who has played just three tournaments this

year after returning from maternity leave, has already been tested five times in 2018.

US Open champion Sloane Stephens has been tested once, and Serena’s sister Venus twice.

Before Williams’ drug-test refusal, one of her spokeswomen told Deadspin: “Over her 23year career, Serena Williams has never tested positive for any illegal substance, despite her being tested significantly more than other professional tennis players, both male and female.

“In fact, she has been tested four times more frequently than her peers. Yet she has vocally supported, respected and complied with USADA testing throughout her entire career.

“While she continues, willingly, to submit to testing, there is absolutely no reason for this kind of invasive and targeted treatment.”

A USADA statement said: “USADA retains the right to test any athlete at any time, and may target test athletes as USADA deems appropriate.”

Russian hackers Fancy Bears revealed in 2016 that Williams had a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) to take authorised drugs, but she has never failed a test.

The story was leaked to the American website after WTA chief Steve Simon was overheard talking about the case on his mobile phone at San Francisco Airport. *A TUE permits a tennis player to use the prohibited medication or method, without committing an Anti-Doping Rule Violation, but only if such use is in accordance with the conditions of the TUE. These are required for events covered by the Tennis AntiDoping Programme, including Grand Slam tournaments.
