Gridlocked roads spark unending traffic queues

Continued from Front

There are three large metropolitan areas in Tenerife, in which the volume of daily traffic continues to expand: the North, the South, and its Santa Cruz capital.

The island’s old, outdated roads, and even its motorways, are congested, every day. And the reality is that thousands of motorists are stuck in traffic jams, losing their patience.

This major issue is a hot topic for Becerra (pictured), who has been reviewing the situation for some time, looking into possible solutions to help solve this mindbending problem.

Becerra understands that the solution will not be easy, because he is aware that Tenerife has one of the highest numbers of vehicles in Europe, per inhabitant, per square kilometre.

And statistics show that, in Tenerife alone, there are around 800,000 vehicles and a million inhabitants, in 2,000sq/km, which are natural spaces.

“There is a political consensus about what road priorities are,” said Becerra. “Firstly, expanding the lanes on the TF-1, between San Isidro and Las Americas, as well as the TF-5, between La Laguna and La Orotava.

“There are also plans for incorporating a priority lane for buses and heavygoods vehicles; and, lastly, completing the island’s ring road between el Tanque and Santiago del Teide.”

A frustrated Becerra added: “These actions total more than eight million euros.

But, having said that, our

Brit who attacked ambulance medic

NATIONAL Police officers in Gran Canaria have detained and charged a 59-year-old British man with assault, after he attacked a medic, attached to an ambulance crew.

The incident happened at Maspalomas hotel, in the San Bartolome de Tirajana municipality, and the arrest was made after an emergency call from the hotel’s reception area.

When officers arrived, they interviewed the hotel manager, who told them a British female holiday-maker, staying at the hotel, needed medical assistance because she had an open wound, which was bleeding.

The manager told police that things got out of hand when the medics asked the husband for her documentation. In return, the hotel staff witnessed how, quite unexpectedly, he punched the medic in the face a few times.

The police proceeded to arrest the Briton, who was charged with assaulting the medic, and is waiting a court date.

great political challenge is to convince the public that these projects will not solve the problems 100%, because we have a basic problem, which is how we move.

“People’s attitudes need to change, and just because they own a vehicle doesn’t necessarily mean they have to use it all the time.

“If they were to use public transport more, for instance, there would obviously be less congestion on the roads. But between 2008 and 2019, there hasn’t been any funding for their infrastructure.

“But over this 11-year period, the population has continued to increase, which has contributed to the problem.

“It is estimated that the increase in traffic has been growing, alongside the economy growth. If the economy grows by 2%, displacements increase by 6%, because there is more work, more leisure, more distribution of merchandise and more school activities etc.”

Cops don’t recognise woman’s knife-man

A TERRIFIED woman, being followed by a knife-carrying man on Monday afternoon in the Taco area of San Jeromino, found refuge in a La Laguna pharmacy.

The woman noticed she was being followed, so she entered the first place she stumbled across. Once inside, she was able to contact the emergency services, which, in turn, dispatched the police.

On arrival, the Local Police took a statement from the woman, though it was obvious to them that she was suffering from a panic attack. They later advised her to make an official

report at the National Police station. Once she had given them a physical description of her follower, officers immediately had their suspicions.

But when they questioned the suspect later, it was clear that he had not been involved.

Police are now making further investigations.

Distressed mum’s baby saved by cop

OFFICERS from Gran Canaria’s Police traffic department came to a baby’s rescue on Monday, at around 7.45am.

The mother, who was walking through Plaza de España, in Las Palmas, approached the officers quickly, asking for help because she noticed her 12-month-old baby boy was semi-conscious and hardly breathing.

The officers noticed that the baby, and, also the mum, were distressed.

But, without a second thought, one of them began to resuscitate the

child with basic CPR, while his companion requested help from professionals at a nearby health centre.

One of them took over from the officer treating the baby, until a medical ambulance arrived. The tot was taken to the Maternal and Children’s Hospital in Las Palmas, where the traffic cop learned that he’d saved the baby’s life.

The ambulance was escorted by police to the hospital, along with other members from the traffic department, marking out a safe route to the hospital.

take charge this year, by beginning the construction work on the roads, specifically the new town entrance.

Once the access to Las Galletas is totally modified and modernised, work can begin on expanding the beach.

The original beach was lost, with the construction of the

current road and the seafront promenade.

The proposed promenade will be modernised, with facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. It will also feature plenty of plants and trees, as well as street lighting.

Access to the beach will be integrated with the rest of the town, and the update

will include the provision of public showers, toilets and changing areas.

The entire project will be carried out in two phases, and Arona Mayor José Julián Mena Pérez emphasised: “Las Galletas has enormous potential, and important investments have been made to put these plans into action.”

Thug prisoner batters trio of prison officers

THREE prison officers, working at Tenerife II’s penitentiary centre, were injured last Sunday afternoon when an inmate attacked them.

It happened at around 1pm on Module 5, when the inmate lashed out, reacting violently against the officers after being told what to do.

But as the officers attempted to restrain the prisoner, three of them were physically injured.

One officer complained of having a chest pain, and, on closer inspection, he had endured two broken ribs, and was transferred, immediately, to the University hospital, where he was admitted for treatment.

But the other two officers didn’t get away lightly. The officer in charge was kicked

in the head during the melee, the other officer was bitten so aggressively that it cut through the gloves he was wearing at the time.

The syndicate representing prison officers has been denouncing, for some time, about the serious conditions in which officers have to work under.

The unions are continually stressing that the work

carried out by prison officers on a daily basis is difficult, as well as dangerous.

This, they say, is through the lack of available recourses, which include personnel, as well as safety equipment.

The unions add that if these recourses were available, the officers could do their job safely, as well as offering a safe, public service.

MORE than 200 Spanish schools are teaching pupils the art of meditation, or “mindfulness”, as it is now known, according to an organisation promoting the technique in education.

The figures come ahead of the second annual Congress on Mindfulness in Education, being run by a group of the same name.

It will be staged this April in Aragon’s Zaragoza City, and organisation director Javier Garcia Campayo said mindfulness helped to boost the youngsters’

Meditation improves health of schoolkids ability to concentrate, as well as improving their memories.

He added: “It can also improve the quality of their relationships, and the management of their emotions, in addition to reducing stress, leading to a greater clarity in making decisions.”

The news comes as the British Government announced

that 370 schools would also teach “children mindfulness”.

Data there shows that almost 13% of pupils aged five to 19 experienced at least one mental-health episode in 2017. Mindfulness, which derives from Buddhist meditation techniques, is used to help improve the mental well-being of healthy children and adults, and to treat psychological disorders.

Violent robber’s knife spree blunted by cops A VIOLENT robber, who escaped from two shops with an estimated total of 21,000 euros, has been arrested by National Police officers.

The 37-year-old thief, who has a police record, was charged with carrying out two shop robberies in Puerto del Rosario, in Fuerteventura.

A probe began as soon as an employee from one of the shops filed a police report, saying that while he was closing up the premises, he was startled by a person, who approached him wearing a balaclava.

The man threatened him with a knife, and shouted that he would kill him if he didn’t open the safe. The staff man handed over some €1,000.

Later, it was reported that the aggressive man turned his attentions to several women, who were working at another shop.

According to witnesses, he entered the premises, and, again, repeated the threat to kill a woman while he was waving around a machete.

This time, he left the shop with €18,000, but police, with the help of a description from witnesses, soon identified him.

It wasn’t long before the National Police found him in a Puerto de Rosario commercial centre, where he was arrested and charged with two crimes of violent robbery.

The investigating officers were also able to connect him with another violent robbery, which happened last December, and where approximately 2,000 euros were stolen.

The connection was made easily because all three crimes featured similar characteristics, and the man now awaits a court appearance.

NEWS IN BRIEF Old folk missing for decade

THE National Centre for the Missing has announced that 454 elderly people have remained out of sight since 2010.

In that time, the centre said it had received 176,000 reports of people who could not be found, including 7,000 over-65s.

Most issues were resolved within the first few hours or days, although a small minority remain unsolved.

The rate of people found, who went missing between 2012 and 2013, was around 97%, increasing by a point between 2014 and 2015, but reducing to 88% of those who disappeared in 2018.

Jaime Cereceda, an Interior Ministry official, said: “The security forces are beginning to collect more data on disappearances, and are getting a broader view of the different causes.”

Healthy immigrants arrive safely

A SMALL vessel, carrying 17 male immigrants, appeared off the coastline of south Gran Canaria last weekend.

It was spotted from Montana Arena beach, in San Bartolome de Tirajuana, and, at the time, there were 15 people inside the boat, the other two having already got off the vessel in the Las Carpinteras beach area.

The emergency services, along with the Red Cross and Local Police, attended the scene. And, after the immigrants were found to be in good health by medics, they were taken to the police headquarters in Maspalomas.

Jet2 tea-drinkers are in the money!

A JET2 flight, travelling from Glasgow to Tenerife, was forced to divert to Manchester Airport, because, passengers were told, there was a problem with the plane’s plumbing.

In fact, no fresh water had been loaded on to the plane, to make tea and coffee, before passengers left Glasgow Airport, at about 8.55am on Sunday.

But the flight did an aboutturn over County Cork, in the Republic of Ireland, and landed safely in Manchester, where local fire crews were waiting.

That is also where passengers learned that they could each claim a whopping €600 in compensation, thanks to

AirHelp. This online platform enables travellers to claim compensation for delays and cancellations, or even if they have been unable to board their plane.

That’s because the rules of Law EC261 apply. In addition, air passengers can claim up to three years after the date

of an incident, as long as it complies with those rules.

AJet2 spokeswoman blamed the diversion on a minor technical fault, and also admitted that the so-called plumbing fault was actually a lack of fresh water to provide hot water for tea and coffee.

Head-on squatters’ brawl leads to vicious stabbing

Cops catch German fraudster

POLICE in Roquetas de Mar have detained a fraudster, wanted by the German authorities, who had issued a European arrest warrant for a 68-year-old man.

He was connected with a case dating back to 2005, when he applied to work with an international company based in Frankfurt.

He claimed, falsely, that he was a qualified lawyer and social worker, and produced fake certificates. The company took him on, paying him nearly €12,000 over six months.

He went on to claim unemployment benefit on a number of occasions in 2006, receiving more than €7,800 euros, to which he was not entitled.

In 2011, a Mainz court, in his absence, ordered a two-year, three-month prison sentence for falsifying documents.

International police co-operation led to the fraudster’s location in Roquetas, and his arrest.

A SQUATTER, aged 47, was stabbed in the back after being involved in a brawl between two families.

The incident happened after a fight broke out between two families of squatters, resulting in a 69-year-old member from one family being beaten

up, and another, man, 47, from the other family, being injured in the back with a pair of secateurs.

The brawl happened in La Laguna’s Calle Sancho Panza, when an anonymous call was made to the Canarian Emergency services.

Soon afterwards, the Local and National Police, as well as a medical ambulance,

arrived. They found a man who had been wounded with the sharp secateurs.

The aggressor barricaded himself inside the premises, but the police were able to break in and arrest him, eventually.

The injured party was transferred to the University hospital, for treatment to his wound.

The 32-year-old’s accident occurred in the area of El Rosario, and the Canarian emergency services dispatched the necessary teams to the scene.

The Local Police, along with two ambulances, responded, and the medical team assessed the rider, noticing his head injury.

He was stabilised before being transferred to hospital in the basic, life-support ambulance, used specifically for making the trip as comfortable as possible.

Illegal taxidermist had 200 protected animals THE bodies, or parts, of more 200 protected animals, have been discovered in an illegal taxidermy workshop in southern Spain, including a white rhino, an African lion and a Bengal tiger.

Guardia Civil agents also found a hippopotamus, an African crocodile and an antelope, as well as a giraffe.

Six people have been arrested on suspicion of possessing and trafficking protected species, after the shocking find in Alicante.

Most of the taxidermy was carried out on-site, without a licence and without the necessary waste-management resources.

Investigators said some of the animals’ body parts may have been discarded into

the sewerage system, posing a considerable risk to public health.

The illegal operation was uncovered after Guardia agents, who discovered online posts advertising the

animals, tracked the advert down to an Alicante taxidermist.

The majority of animals were seized in the warehouse, while more were found at the taxidermist’s home, in the

town of Mutxamiel.

All animals seized were listed under the United Nation’s Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), signed by over 180 countries.

Thief caught with his bingo bonanza

9 CW

Man’s tummy ache attracted the police

NATIONAL Police, based in Santa Cruz, arrested a man familiar to them, and charged him with breaking and entering a bingo hall, and stealing a safe containing €20,000, in the early hours of Wednesday.

A MAN was arrested, after turning up at a local health centre’s emergencies department in Gran Canaria with pains in his stomach, which turned out to be 45 bullet-shaped wraps of hashish.

The man, who has a colourful record, with nine offences to his name, broke into the premises by driving a stolen car into the metal security gate, which, to an extent, had protected the entrance.

Once inside, he took the safe, along with its contents, before leaving in a second stolen vehicle, which had vanished from the neighbouring municipality.

Local Police were able to

locate the owners of both cars, while the National Police identified the thief, via collective information they had received.

The suspect is now awaiting a court date for sentencing.

Diving schools fail a Guardia inspection

THE Guardia Civil have opened an investigation into eight diving schools across the south of Tenerife.

THE Santa Úrsula Mártir Adeje parish church presbytery now houses a new tapestry, the 18th “Sacrificio de Isaac”.

This is been restored, and rejoins the Adeje heritage family as part of a collaborative plan with

Tenerife Cabildo and the Bishopric, the actual overseer of the Santa Úrsula parish.

The tapestry is part of three examples of this kind of work which have survived the ravages of time.

The series comprised this one, as well as “Moisés revelando la Ley de Dios al pueblo de Israel” (Moses revealing God’s law to the people of

Israel) and “La Visitación de la Virgen a Santa Isabel” (the visitation of Our Lady to St Elizabeth).

These latter tapestries, currently being restored, will be on display over the next two years.

The “Sacrificio de Isaac” restoration was carried out by a team of professionals, led by Rubén Sánchez López.

his stomach. The staff X-rayed the area and discovered that he was carrying marihuana, weighing 270gms.

He had disembarked from a Morocco to Gran Canaria flight, and had headed straight to the medical centre because of the severe pain he was experiencing.

Once he had expelled the wraps, an analysis was done, proving what he had been carrying. The police were notified, and the man was arrested and charged with trafficking illegal substances.

Two schools are in Abadas, another two are in Radazul and four more in Las Galletas, and all eight are being investigated after the Guardia officers issued 61 examples of noncompliance, as well as incorrect paperwork.

The inspections were carried out as part of a campaign by the Guardia Civil, to intensify the control of these diving schools and their activities.

The inspections were carried out between 5th-8th January, and, during these visits, the officers came across a multitude of breaches within the dive centres.

They were, specifically, related to administrative areas, and the schools were unable to produce relevant authorisation from the Canarian Government, which is necessary when working with tourists. The Guardia also discovered that some people working at the centres did not have the correct paperwork, and other members of staff were under-qualified.

In addition, items of technical equipment were faulty.

Tourist chiefs and cops plead for no-booze law TOURISM bosses and police have called for a ban on alcohol sales at airports, and on flights to mainland Spain and its islands, to put an end to “drunken tourism”.

Spanish and British traveltrade leaders met in Mallorca capital Palma to try to tackle the problem, which has led to negative press for the holiday hotspot island.

Among the measures proposed was that passengers shouldn’t be allowed to walk down the Duty Free shops’ drinks aisles.

That, it is hoped, is part of a campaign to get young people away from linking holidays with getting drunk.

One police chief addressed

the meeting saying: “We have already banned smoking. People can’t light up for three hours when flying from the UK to Spain, so why do they have to drink? What are we waiting for?”

He added: “Alcohol should be banned on flights and at airports. The only thing you see is the selling of alcohol at Palma Airport, but it’s actually a shopping centre, where alcohol is sold.”

The seminar was held under the “Chatham House rules”, which allows participants to speak freely without revealing their identity, or facing any repercussions.

The Palma meeting also aimed to clear up confusion over whether it was the jurisdiction of the Spanish or UK police to deal with in-flight incidents involving drunken behaviour.

Disney-type theme park for families AN enormous theme park costing billions is being planned for mainland Spain, on a scale and ambition rivalling Disney.

The multi-million-euro tourist destination, referred to as a “city” being recreated, should open in 2023, and will be constructed between Seville and Madrid, in the Castilblanco municipality.

Elysium City, referencing the Greek mythology of paradise, will feature a water park, an 18-hole golf course, a 40,000seat stadium, four hotels, rollercoasters, an equestrian centre and a marina.

In 2028, reported plans

are to turn the theme park into a “smart city”, fit for permanent, human habitation.

“It’s basically a city that we’re creating, that will be a smart city from ground up,” said John Cora,

founder and chairman of Cora Alpha, which is behind the venture. “But the core will be the entertainment pieces.

“It includes a major, Disneylevel theme park, and an adventure water park unlike

typical water parks.”

The unprecedented theme park will have free, highspeed WiFi throughout.

Elysium City will also include solar-powered infrastructure, such as street lights and kiosks, which provide parking information and availability, as well as traffic updates, public transport schedules and weather forecasts.

In addition, the cityscape will not feature the red-andyellow helter-skelter slides, commonly found in water parks.

Instead, Elysium’s water park will utilise heavy landscaping and rockwork techniques, to incorporate the area’s natural environment.

Rock-climbing woman dies

A GERMAN woman, aged 30, died last Sunday while rock-climbing at Aricos Barranco de Tamadaya.

The Canarian emergency services received a call just after 5pm, requesting help to rescue a woman who had fallen into a ravine.

The necessary emergency services were activated, and, upon their swift arrival, fire-fighters located the woman and rescued her from a precarious location, rapidly, before transporting her to a nearby ambulance, in which

a team assessed her, medically.

A helicopter was requested to take her to a small football pitch, where a helicopter was waiting to provide further medical assistance.

Tragically, the woman’s injuries were so severe that medics could only pronounce her dead.

The Guardia Civil were in charge of all subsequent proceedings.

will also be harnessed to create adventure activities, such as mountain biking, hiking and bungee-jumping.

Building is expected to start later this year, and Cora Alpha estimates receiving four million guests during the park’s opening year.

Initially, guests will be able to stay in one of the 3,000 rooms, spread across four hotels, each one fitted with a casino. The city’s second stage will open in 2028, with 2,000 housing units for new residents in the 1,200-hectare region.

The Costa del Sol was actually one of the locations seriously considered for the first Euro Disney Resort, which ended up as Disneyland Paris in France.

It’s hearts-in-mouth time for Canarian beach-goers

THE Canarian Government has warned beach-goers that drawing hearts in the sand, or carving out other messages, could land them in prison.

Stones, crosses made out of volcanic rocks, and a smiley face carved into a cliff face, are among the activities criticised by environmentalists, and the Canarian leaders believe tourists and residents all come under their beachvandalism crackdown. And Tenerife Cabildo is backing them all the way.

Gran Canaria’s Maspalomas sand dunes are part of a

protected area, but tourists have desecrated the natural surroundings with their “works of art”, complain the green groups.

The Telesforo Bravo-Juan Coello Foundation has backed tougher punishments for the tourists and residents, because their behaviour, it says, is an “abuse to the environment”.

A Canarian Government spokesperson said: “Tenerife Cabildo wants to express its condemnation towards this type of act against one of the main environmental and tourist patrimonies of the island.”

Perpetrators could be punished with a fine of up to €600, or even face a prison sentence.

Brit drug-dealer held outside military base

A BRITISH drug dealer, arrested outside a “military establishment” in Gibraltar, was carrying 56gms of cocaine, said the Royal Gibraltar Police.

A police statement added: “The operation also involved search warrants being executed at two locations., with the aid of specialised sniffer-dogs. The man has been granted bail, with

conditions.” Police did not confirm whether or not they believed the dealer had planned to sell the Class-A drugs in, or near, the military establishment.

A spokesperson said: “We are not commenting beyond what has already been said, as the matter is currently under investigation.”

Don’t give the Julio Iglesias joins Elvis in cast of Grammy stars game away, plead

LEGENDARY crooner Julio Iglesias has become the first Spaniard to win an honorary Grammy Award, joining a list of timeless artists such as Elvis Presley.

And ahead of his Lifetime Achievement Award, to be presented on Sunday, Julio, father of Miami-based pop sensation Enrique, tells his tale.

He actually wanted to be a footballer, but a car accident put paid to his sporting career, so he opted for a life of music.

Julio, now 75, is the top-selling Latin artist of all, and has achieved more in 50 years on the music scene, than any other Spanish singer.

The Madrid-born star, once married to model and presenter Isabel Preysler, the mother of Enrique, was left lying on his back, with few hopes of ever being able to walk again, following a 1962

a car crash, when he was 20.

He was given a guitar to take his mind off things, and Julio began composing songs during his long recovery.

He then moved to London to learn to speak English, and his musical career took off in 1968 when, aged 26, he won the International Song Festival in Benidorm with his own creation, La Vida Sigue Igual.

Eight years later, Julio was on stage for the first time in New York’s Madison Square Garden, breaking all boxoffice records, with tickets selling-out faster than for any other artist in history.

He also broke records in Japan, by selling 1.2 million copies of his album De Niña a Mujer in 1982, And, with his eponymous 1987 album, he became the first artist ever to sell two million records in a language other than English, in the US. A year later, the bilingual singer was watched by 400 million viewers in his own special programme, aired live in China.

He has dueted with hundreds of singers from all over the planet, and in several languages, including Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Sting, Dolly Parton and Placido Domingo.

roadblock police

SPAIN’S National Police have appealed on social media for people not to divulge details of roadside checks.

The plea came on the same day they made arrests in the south of Spain, in a huge operation involving

roadblocks in La Linea (Cadiz) and on the Costa del Sol, which were reported, widely, by newspapers.

The cops tweeted: “Police checks are used to protect you. If you warn of their presence, they lose effectiveness. #PorTuSeguridad do not disseminate information on the existence of controls. #SomosTuPolicía.”

School bus driver Balcony fall smoked cannabis

POLICE in Spain immobilised a school bus after the driver tested positive for cannabis at a roadside check.

Local Police, in the Alicante area of Elda, had stopped the vehicle as part of a national drive to ensure the

safety of school transport.

Officials said in a statement that the bus had travelled from Villena, about 12 km, and had also picked up students from the nearby town of Sax. They also said the test was indicative, and, to confirm the result, a saliva sample would be analysed in an approved laboratory.

The bus was allowed to continue on its way, once another driver, also subjected to the same tests, was found.

The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) safety campaign checks that vehicles and drivers meet the administrative requirements, safety measures, driving times, rest periods and other obligations.

A three-year-old Russian child has been rushed to hospital after falling from a building in Avenida José González Forte in Los Gigantes.

She was transferred by ambulance with police escort to the Puerto Santiago football ground, where a helicopter was waiting for crew to stabilise her, and fly her to Candelaria Hospital.

THE mystery of beaked whales being “suicidal” may finally have been solved, because sonar, commonly used by America and NATO, causes decompression sickness, also known as the bends.

This condition, as many will know, also affects scuba divers, and it is believed that it forces the whales to beach themselves.

Scientists had previously made the link between beached whales and exposure to naval sonar.

Some 21 experts in the Royal Society journal Proceedings B have released their research findings.

Scientists have long known that some beaked whales beach themselves and die in agony, and now they know why.

The fear and stress of the huge animals, when they hear sonar, over-rides their natural diving instinct and creates a build-up of nitrogen in the blood, leading to the bends.

In humans, this occurs when a diver ascends to the surface too quickly. But in whales, it is initiated by fear.

And research shows that whales which suffer from this can often die, and wash up on a beach,

Beached whales scared to death by sonar sound

15th February 2019 - 21st February 2019

More fake fliers nabbed

SEVEN more people have been arrested at Fuerteventura airport, trying to board planes to Dublin with false passports, and all with Albanian nationality.

several days later.

Mid-frequency active sonar (MFAS) has been used since the 1960s to detect submarines, emitting underwater signals.

This causes beaked whales, in particular, to become scared and swim away from the sound,

discarding their dive pattern.

“In the presence of sonar they are stressed, and swim vigorously away from the sound source, changing their diving pattern,” said Yara Bernaldo de Quiros, lead researcher at the Institute of Animal Health, at Gran Canaria’s

University of Las Palmas.

There were 121 mass strandings between 1960 and 2004, with at least 40 linked in time and place with naval activities.

Other threats include ship strikes, ocean pollution, and shifting habitats caused by climate change.

Of the six men and a woman, all aged between 20 and 32, five were stopped carrying French, Italian and Slovenian documents, while trying to board two planes.

The other two, spotting the police presence, tried to run away. They were later detained by officers, in possession of fake Estonian papers.

The seven detainees, in possession of their genuine Albanian passports, are all being held by the judicial authorities, awaiting charges.

New AIDS cure could be found by Spanish medics

15 CW

Wanted terrorist made it easy for Guardia officers THE Guardia Civil arrested a wanted terrorist on Wednesday morning, at a La Laguna building in San Cristobal.

SPAIN is planning to conduct one of the biggest clinical trials into a vaccine against the HIV virus, which causes AIDS. The pioneering trial is known as AELIX-003 and will involve 90 participants, who have started early antiretroviral therapy, after being infected with HIV. Patients, who will continue to receive antiretroviral therapy at the start of the study, will also be monitored closely to ensure their HIV viral loads are kept under detection limits.

They will then be vaccinated, and their antiretroviral treatment suspended, to see whether the vaccine is effective in keeping their HIV levels under control.

The clinical test is to see if the vaccine is as effective in humans as it has been in apes.

Although the pace of HIV research is extremely fast,

a cure for AIDS, which develops after HIV infection, hasn’t yet been found. Jose Alcamí, director of the AIDS Immunopathology Unit at the National Microbiology Centre, said: “It is still a great utopia.”

Alcamí, who said it was impossible to give a date for a cure, added: “It is not possible to predict…it can be tomorrow or never because we are facing a gigantic challenge.

“No virus that has infected the nucleus of cells, such as the one that causes herpes, papilloma, hepatitis B or retroviruses such as AIDS, can be eliminated, because it is installed in the genetic memory of our body.”

But he admitted that HIV treatments and research have proved effective in treating other diseases, including helping to find a cure for Hepatitis C.

The 30-year-old man, identified as EMC, was arrested and charged with being a self-indoctrination terrorist. He already had a police record for violence and sexist behaviour.

The operation was carried out by Guardia officers, after the alarm had been raised, because of the man’s internet searches and website visits, related to the manufacturing of homemade, explosive devices.

EMC surprised himself, with his own, self-made artefact, putting into practice the knowledge he had gained from these specific web pages.

Officers also discovered, while conducting their search, that the man used special devices to connect to the internet, to communicate with other jihadist contacts, specifically.

These devices are being analysed, and the premises are still being searched for further evidence. According

to sources, the process of self-radicalisation, which the detainee and many others used, is consuming a large volume of violent propaganda and radical material, in relation to jihadist terrorist groups, mainly Al Qaeda and Daesh. Finally, it all adds up to brain-washing EMC used this technique, which encouraged him to visualise all the propaganda contents, and it wasn’t long before he told his family and friends that, one day, he would become famous.

He stated, specifically, that he didn’t care about the

price of the fame, and nor did he fear any possible consequences.

What persuaded Guardia Civil officers to arrest him was his violent nature, the justifications he made for violent actions, and the fact that he considered himself the victim, along with his recent interest in homemade explosive devices.

The Guardia has promoted all investigations related to this type of propaganda, recruitment and financing structures, since the antiterrorist alert was raised to Level 4 on 26th June 2015.

Why buy at the auction?

One of the lots: Stunning penthouse, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, Pueblo Primavera, Golf del Sur

BUYING a property at auction is a simple, transparent process, allowing you to bid, based on exactly what you want to pay.

Here are some of the benefits auction buyers enjoy: - Smart investments are made, as properties are usually purchased at fair market value, through competitive bidding - The buyer knows the seller is committed to selling - Auctions reduce the time required to purchase property - Auction sellers are not holding out for unrealistic list prices - Buyers determine the purchase price - Auctions eliminate long negotiation and waiting periods - Purchasing and closing dates are known in advance - Buyers know they are competing fairly, and on the same terms as all other buyers - Buyers receive comprehensive information via the “General Conditions” How does it work, if you want to sell your property or business at the auction?

Our sister company, Rentals in Tenerife, has been established on the island for nearly 20 years, and identified there was a huge gap in the market for selling properties that didn’t need to cost you, the seller, the standard 5% commission!

In partnership with Buy Properties Tenerife SL, we now offer properties for sale, with no commission!

So, how does it work?

Prior to auction, you, the seller, agree with us a reserve price you wish to receive, no less. So, if the price of the property is, for example, €100,000, if someone only offers €15,000, you are not obliged to sell at that price.

All we require is that you provide us with full information about your property, and an exclusive period of four months.

The marketing is carried out over a 6-8 week period, prior to the auction.

On auction day, when the hammer goes down, the purchaser is legally obliged to pay a 10% deposit of the property sale price to us.

Completion follows at the Notary within 28 days. So, as the seller, it has cost you absolutely nothing!

The properties For our next auction, on Wednesday 27th February, we bring to your attention a variety of properties and business opportunities: a stunning villa in Chayofa, a beautiful and spacious, five-bedroomed town house in the picturesque Granadilla, which has just been reduced, a very tasty pizza business in the town of Adeje, one plot of urban land, a garage space with storage room - and much more!

Affiliated organisations Besides our partner, Buy Properties Tenerife, we are affiliated with Keddy’s Entertainment, Currencies Direct, Oasis Fm, Canarian Weekly, and Island Car Hire in San Blas Commercial Centre, where we have our show-case window.

TUI losses double in a heatwave summer HOLIDAY company Tui has blamed last year’s unusually long, hot summer, along with the weak pound, as its firstquarter losses more than doubled.

The group, which last week sent shares tumbling after warning over full-year profits, reported seasonal underlying losses of €83.6m (£73.3m), for the three

months to 31st December, against losses of €36.7m (£32.2m) a year earlier.

The company said results were impacted by last year’s prolonged hot weather across northern Europe, combined with the Brexit-hit pound and over-capacity in western Mediterranean destinations, such as the Canary Islands.

It added that summer 2019 bookings were broadly in line with a year earlier, and that

holiday prices had held firm. But it cautioned that its profit margins were taking a hit.

“The market environment for all tour operators remains challenging,” it added.

Shares fell 5%, having dropped in price last week, when Tui warned underlying earnings for the year to 30th September were expected to come in flat at around €1.17bn (£1bn). This compares with previous guidance, for at least 10% growth in earnings.

Children’s food recalled after a salmonella scare AECOSAN, the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition, has issued a health warning over multiple batches of children’s food, after salmonella cases were detected in Europe.

The Agency has urged the public not to consume products from infant-food brands Modilac and Blemil, amid fears that some samples could be linked to the “outbreak”.

The agency said that an alert had been sent out on 25th January about the infections because of a “salmonella poona” outbreak in France, in relation to the consumption of the products, marketed by French company Sodilac, and manufactured in Spain.

New cases have since been identified in Belgium, believed to be related to the affected batches, but no cases have been detected in Spain so far.

However, as Spain is the

manufacturer, protocol procedures have been activated and carried out by the companies in question, and the authorities. The results in Spain have, so far, been negative, according to Aecosan.

Investigations are still being carried out to identify the possible source of contamination within the industry, which could have affected the products.

As a precaution, the Asturian factory creating the products has suspended part of its production of rice-based products.

According to the Co-ordinated System of Rapid Information Exchange, as well as the Modilac

products, which have been withdrawn from France, batches from Laboratiorios Ordesa have also been affected.

These are: Blemil Plus 1 rice, 400 g. (lots 1068-132, 1087-122, 1927-124, 2698-137, 3097-126 and 3408-141) and Blemil Plus 2 rice, 400 g. (lots 1088-190, 1107-173, 1107-173X, 1937-176, 2698-197, 2698-197X, 3107-180 and 3408-204).

Authorities have issued a mass withdrawal of the affected products in Spain, from all points of sale. The companies are also contributing, actively, to retrieve all of the products still in distribution.

As the batches are sold exclusively in pharmacies, the Council of Pharmaceutical Associations of Spain, and the Spanish Association of Paediatrics, have been informed of the situation

by Aecosan, and they are also collaborating to inform the public.

Some of the batches may have been bought already, and purchasers are recommended to return the product to the nearest pharmacy.

Worried PM Sanchez is seriously looking at early general election

Family grandma is found mummified in their home

A BRITISH grandmother was found dead in Andalucia, after her family kept her mummified body in the house for some nine months.

SPANISH Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez may call an early general election on 14th April, because he has been unable to secure sufficient backing for his 2019 budget.

Sánchez, in attempting to please the Catalunya regional parties, whose support he needs because his party holds just 25% of the seats in Parliament, has angered those who are staunchly against the north-eastern territory’s independence drive.

A huge demonstration, in Madrid last Sunday, convened by the rightwing PP and centre-right Ciudadanos, called for early elections.

They consider Sánchez and his cabinet to be “unelected”, because they gained power with a noconfidence vote against the

PP last June.

If the President does call the nation to the polls, he will have to dissolve Parliament on Tuesday (19th Feb), which would be the appointed 54 days before the elections, on Palm Sunday.

Marta Vilalta, spokeswoman for the Catalunya Left Republicans (ERC), warns that if the PM’s idea of an election then is a form of pressure, the party will not withdraw its demands for a complete overhaul of the 2019 budget, unless dialogue is re-established, and the repression of the independence movement ceases.

Vilalta has called on Sánchez to be brave and recommence the pathway to dialogue, without conditions.

Sánchez came under fire recently from opposition as well as the public, after considering appointing an independent intermediary, a figure normally used in

times of serious conflict, to try to reach a solution to the Catalunya independence impasse.

Those doggedly against any mention of Catalunya’s secession, claiming the Spanish Constitution does not allow for it even to be discussed, were in uproar at the idea of an arbitrator. Dissenters include the PP, Ciudadanos and far-right supporters.

Catalunya’s independence brigade does not agree, either. Instead of a middleman being introduced, they simply want a legal vote on secession.

The President’s left-wing socialist party does not agree with Catalunya becoming an independent State. But, since coming into power in June, it has been more flexible and more willing to open talks with the pro-secessionists.

The right-wing protest organisers say appointing a person to report on the proceedings is the same as backing the secession movement.

A general election is not set until November 2020, but Sánchez has been under pressure to call an early vote, from the day he gained power.

The result of that election was that the ruling PSOE Socialist party was kicked out of Andalucia, after controlling the region for 36 years.

A right-wing coalition of the PP and Ciudadanos, supported by far-right party Vox, is now running Spain’s most populous region.

The unidentified 79-yearold’s corpse, which had rotted away to the skeleton, was hidden by a mattress and some cardboard. She is thought to have died 24 hours after Mother’s Day, last May, but police were alerted to the house in Istan by her ex-husband.

While visiting, he was shocked to find his ex-wife’s body, and persuaded her daughter and teenage granddaughter to tell the police.

Guardia Civil officers said the

house was extremely dirty, and the woman was found with clothes on, surrounded by empty air-fresheners.

The mother did tell a neighbour her mother had died, but she didn’t go as far as to say the body had been kept.

Other neighbours had complained about a bad smell at the property, but the family put it down to their pets.

An inspection at Malaga’s Institute of Legal Medicine ruled out violence, and an autopsy will confirm if the woman died of natural causes.

But police believe the family may not have announced the woman’s death to evade burial fees, or to continue claiming her pension.

Hunter jailed for 45 years after murdering two men

A HUNTER, who shot dead two rural agents in Spain in January 2017, has been sentenced to 45 years in prison, and ordered to pay compensation of over one million euros to the victims’ families.

The Lleida court, in Catalonia, found Ismael Rodriguez guilty of the charges against him and ordered him to be locked up for 22 years,

for each murder. Another year was added for illegal possession of a shotgun, as well as a €1,080 fine for a crime against fauna.

Rodriguez has also been ordered to pay more than €1m in compensation to the victims’ relatives.

The court heard that Rodriguez surprised the agents with the attack, which happened so quickly that they could not even activate the alarm button on their radio.

Each agent was shot twice, after Rodriguez reloaded his shotgun.

Renewed risks of no-deal Brexit weakens sterling

By Carol schleisman at currencies direct

AFTER soaring at the start of the year, the pound found itself in reverse gear, over the past couple of weeks, on the back of renewed Brexit uncertainty.

This has seen GBP/EUR retreat from a 19-month high of €1.15 to €1.14, allowing EUR/ GBP to rebound from £0.86 to £0.87.

Meanwhile, GBP/USD has tumbled from $1.32 to $1.39, while EUR/USD slipped from

TAKING snaps of Spanish police will cease to be a crime, unless the safety of officers or their families is, “demonstrably”, putting them at risk.

A reform of the controversial public-safety legislation, known colloquially as “the gagging law”, means that those taking photographs or videos of police will only be fined if they leave them, or other people, in danger.

The old, controversial law, introduced by the previous PP-led Government, meant filming or photographing police in the course of duty could lead to hefty fines, running into thousands of euros, on the grounds that it may compromise officers’ security.

These grounds have been used to fine, successfully, peaceful protesters, despite Amnesty International warning Spain against its application.

Members argued that, in the event of police taking their authority too far, victims would be unable to obtain proof, and, thus, unlikely to achieve justice.

The cops were accused of this very thing throughout Catalonia’s disputed, Independence Referendum Election Day, in October 2017. And incidents of police officers ordering members of the public to delete pictures and videos, on pain of arrest, were not unknown.

Now, however, the PSOE party, the country’s new, leftwing, socialist government, has stipulated that the officer in question must be able to demonstrate a clear risk to his or her personal safety or integrity, or that of his or her

$1.14 to $1.13.

The pound has found itself in a tailspin, over the past couple of weeks, with sterling’s appeal being eroded by heightened Brexit uncertainty, as well as some lacklustre PMI figures.

The euro has also had a bit of

a rough time in recent weeks, with the single currency being softened by concerns over growth in the Eurozone, amid signs that parts of the bloc are stagnating.

Meanwhile, a dovish policy meeting from the Federal Reserve undermined the US

dollar at the start of February, limiting the gains from some robust payroll figures, at the start of 2019.

The pound looks set to become increasingly volatile, over the next couple of weeks, as the uncertainty surrounding Brexit looks to become increasingly damaging for sterling, the closer we get to the UK’s exit date of 29 March.

In the meantime, the focus for EUR investors will be the release of Germany’s latest GDP figures, as they learn whether, or not, the country fell into a recession, at the end of 2018.

Finally, the US is likely to face another government

shutdown in February, potentially limiting the appeal of the US dollar going forward.

You’ll be able to frame cops, with law on your side!

family or friends. Changes to the “gagging law” are under discussion within a Parliamentary commission, set up for the purpose.

They are also likely to include “undue” use of uniforms, official symbols or such replicas, as well as growing hash plants in one’s own home, being reclassified as “minor” offences rather than “serious”.

Generally, police turn a blind eye to a small number of cannabis plants being grown for decoration, or personal consumption.

But larger volumes will normally attract criminal action, unless the grower is able to show, clearly, that he or she is doing so for personal use.

And although the “serious offence” description did not go so far as arresting members of the public, leaving fancy-dress parties in authentic-looking police uniforms, it would be difficult to demonstrate that their use was completely innocent.

And, in answer to popular

request, it is also likely that, convening protests and demonstrations, spontaneously, will cease to be a criminal offence.

At the moment, and based upon the previous government’s criteria, all demonstrations require written permission from the relevant, provincial government or town or city council, which have the right to deny authorisation at any time, without stating the reasons.

Without this, demonstrations that go ahead could lead to the organisers being fined between €30,000 and €600,000. Yet animal cruelty, or neglect, carries a fine of just €100.

With the law change, protests are expected to require no more than four hours’ notice, and refusal by authorities may well have to be accompanied by a verifiable and sound reason.

For the amendments to go ahead, a majority vote from within the Parliamentary commission will be required.

No-deal Brexit could really harm traders SPAIN’S tax office has warned Spanish businesses about the potential consequences of a no-deal Brexit, which could prove extremely costly to them.

The Hacienda has sent letters to thousands of export companies in Spain, with tips on how to adapt to the worst-case scenario, should the UK leave the EU on 29th March without a deal.

The warning details about how a no-deal would mean that trade-flows between the two countries will cease to be considered

internal European transactions. It will also be subject to customs formalities.

“Brexit could have a significant effect on your organisation and its logistics flows,” the letter reads. “If there is no exit agreement that includes a transitional period, this will mean that on 29th March, the UK will leave the single market and the customs union.”

The number of Spanish companies exporting to the UK grew by 8% between 2012 and 2017 to 11,695 businesses.

And the UK was the fifthtop destination for Spanish exports in 2017, after France, Germany, Italy and Portugal.

Martin Clunes Islands of America

Tuesday 19th February, ITV1, 21.00

The colourful Caribbean island of Puerto Rico, America’s third largest island, and the only one where Spanish is the main language is Martin’s next stop on his island odyssey.

In 2017 Hurricane Maria ripped through the island causing the worst disaster in the island’s history, flattening forests and houses and ultimately claiming thousands of lives. One year on Martin sees how the Puerto Ricans have begun to recover from the disaster.

The island is famous for its vibrant salsa dance and music. Tito Ortos, one of Puerto Rico’s finest salsa teachers, teaches Martin the basic steps of the island’s famous dance.

With the help of local guide Hector Negrón Martin is taken to see how nature is also recovering after the devastation of the hurricane. Before Hurricane María, this was one of the best places in the world to see a fragile but spectacular natural phenomenon called bioluminescence.

Martin says: “What a great way to end my time on this exciting island. It’s wonderful to see how nature has recovered from the terrible hurricane; the rainforest is regrowing, and the good nature of the people never went away.”

Leaving Puerto Rico, Martin travels north to the Sea Islands along the coast of Georgia and the Carolinas. They’re home to the unique Gullah Geechee people, descendants of African slaves who once worked the plantations on these islands.

Thanks to their island remoteness, they were able to hold on to much of their African heritage in ways that mainland slaves could not.

Africa with Ade Adepitan Sunday 17th February, BBC2, 21.00

The third leg of Ade Adepitan’s epic four-part journey around Africa, a continent undergoing huge change. This leg takes him to the East of the continent, from Tanzania, through Ethiopia, and on to war-torn Somalia.

He begins in Tanzania, in Selous Game Reserve – a game park the size of Switzerland.

He’s on the lookout for elephants. But the numbers in this park have fallen by 90 percent over the last few decades. As well as poaching, one of the big problems is that elephants trample and eat crops - so the locals don’t like them. But a new collaring programme is helping numbers to recover.

Ade’s next stop is Ethiopia’s far north. He travels to the hottest place on the planet where he spends a night with some of the toughest people on earth: the Afar. He joins them doing what their ancestors have done for centuries, hacking blocks of salt from a dried-up salt lake and loading them onto camels. But change is finally coming to this place thanks to another of its resources, the fertilizer potash. It’s a sign of Ethiopia’s development, which Ade sees more of in the capital, Addis Ababa.

Having grown up with images of starving children in the famine-plagued 80s, Addis is nothing like Ade expected. The city is booming, and it’s driving Ethiopia’s economy - now one of the fastest growing in the world. Ade gets a guided tour from perhaps the world’s greatest-ever long distance runner, Haile Gebrselassie. Haile is now a businessman, with investments in coffee and construction.

The real fuel in Ethiopia’s boom is manufacturing. Asia is still the workshop of the world, but with wages there on the rise, Chinese companies are increasingly looking to countries like Ethiopia to set up factories, as Ade discovers on a visit to a shoe factory.

Leaving Addis, Ade travels on Ethiopia’s new high-speed, Chinese-built train, which whisks him all the way to neighbouring Djibouti, a vital port for Ethiopia’s export-led economy.

The final stop on this leg of Ade’s trip is war-torn Somalia. He joins the African Union troops on a mission out of Mogadishu, and discovers a country in ruins, thanks to decades of conflict with Islamist group al-Shabab. Even in areas ruled by the government conservative Islam dominates and women face restriction on their freedom.

Back in Mogadishu, Ade shoots some hoops with a group of women defying the odds by playing basketball. His final encounter is with a female doctor who worked for the NHS for 30 years and has now returned to Somalia to rebuild her country.

She’s prepared to give her life, if necessary, in her efforts to provide quality maternity care for new mothers.

There’s a horrifying discovery at the Hayes house that changes the course of the investigation, when Carla and Prentice Hayes are found murdered in a violent knife attack.

Their son Jamie Hayes (Lorn Macdonald) is missing, initially leading the team to speculate that he could be responsible. But Perez (Douglas Henshall) is convinced that Jamie could not have mutilated his mother in this way.

Aware of her altercation with Prentice Hayes the previous evening, Perez pays a visit to Olivia Lennox (Rakie Ayola). She’s in her room, shaken, with blood on her clothes. Perez takes her to the station to be interviewed. She vehemently denies any involvement in the crime, saying she went there to talk to them and found them already dead. Her alibi for the time of death checks out and Olivia is released.

Olivia is angry with Perez. She feels that now a local family is dead, Daniel’s murder and the search for Zezi will be forgotten. Perez assures her he’s doing everything in his power to find Daniel’s killer and bring Zezi back to her safely.

Jamie is discovered, injured and unconscious in an old car a short distance from the house. He’s rushed to hospital.

On discovering that Calum Dunwoody’s (Ryan Fletcher) boat Silver Darling has been spotted at a harbourless inlet called Voxter Roe, Perez begins to suspect him of transporting trafficked people, including Zezi and the others at the Hillside Hotel, to the mainland.

Calum is arrested and interviewed. He admits to carrying people on his boat, but is clearly terrified and unwilling to reveal any information about the traffickers.

Tosh discovers that Paul Kiernan (John Kazek), the manager of the Hillside hotel, has been using a false identity. He’s really a Glaswegian criminal called Aaron McGuire. Perez feels sure that finding McGuire is the key to finding Zezi.

The next morning, Sandy (Steven Robertson) thinks he’s made a breakthrough in getting Calum to talk. Sadly, he couldn’t be further from the truth.

Today, four proud homeowners are through to this week’s big final.

They will hand over their keys for a second time to five nosy neighbours, who will get one last look around the homes to help them decide who has the winning home.

They’ll judge the perspective champions on three key criteria; the functionality of the home, the ambition of its interior design and finally, the ‘X factor’.

Battling it out today will be a flat, a semi detached property, a detached house and a wildcard.

Which of these superb homes will be the Best House in York? It’s down to our amateur property aficionados to decide.

Presenter Amar Latif has pulled on his walking boots and is heading on a journey along one of Yorkshire’s most surprising rivers.

As a blind man with a passion for outdoor adventure, Amar will be abseiling into a hidden canyon, canoeing across a vast reservoir and swimming through icy waters as he discover how the stunning landscape along the River Nidd has been shaped over the years.

Nidderdale is the place where canyons have been carved out over thousands of years, where villages have been left abandoned after huge civil engineering projects, and where the farms of the future are taking hold in the landscape.

Amar’s 13-mile route takes in the most stunning parts of this unique river valley and is packed with intriguing history, stunning nature and incredible views. He will visit mysterious ruins, explore a hidden canyon, discover the remains of an abandoned village, canoe over Bradford’s water supply and meet the local llamas!

Parveen’s Indian Kitchen ITV1, 09.30

Parveen showcases a vegetarian and vegan family favourite recipe – tarka daal. She also demonstrates her simple technique of making chappatis at home.

In Amritsar, the cameras have exclusive access to one of the biggest kitchens in the world, feeding up to 100,000 people a day at the glistening Golden Temple. Plus, Parveen lines up Gayatri Peshwaria, a chef and food educator at Amritsar’s DAV Public School, where school children take on the challenge to cook Halwa with a twist.

Back in the UK, Parveen is keen to share her top tips of procuring a basic pantry for an Indian feast at any time. Parveen uncovers more flavourings to keep at hand to give dishes that extra Indian flare.

In the kitchen, Parveen cooks her youngest son’s favourite dish, a super easy lamb mince curry – keema aloo matter, served with basmati rice. And as part of her journey of regional Indo-culinary discovery, Parveen visits a Londonbased restaurant called Little Kolkata. She meets the owners to learn how traditional family recipes have inspired them to introduce their regional cuisines from Calcutta to UK restaurant tables.

Extreme cleaners Yvonne and Angela clean up an abandoned house in Wales; Maxine and Jasmine take on a house full of cats, fur and; and Steve and Jo are confronted with what could be Britain’s grimiest kitchen.

In Wales, extreme cleaning sisters Yvonne and Angela are called to a large house which was abandoned after its young owner had been struggling to cope. The whole place is littered with mouldy food and rubbish, there is an infestation of mice and things go from bad to worse when the water tank leaks, spreading water throughout the house. In Stevenage, mum and daughter cleaning team Maxine and Jasmine are tackling a house that was – until recently – home to twelve cats. The whole property is covered in cat hair and poo as well as dead flies. It’s a huge job that needs to be completed in three days. And in Thetford ex-army man Steve takes on what could be one of Britain’s grimiest kitchens. With eight years worth of built-up grease and an oven that has never been cleaned, they have an uphill mountain to climb.

Thankfully Steve has a secret weapon in the back of his van to cut through the worst of the burnt-on grime.

Britain’s best loved bromance are back in action as reality TV favourites Chris and Kem reunite to go head to head with the viewing public in a brand new series of You vs Chris & Kem. The four part series, which returns to ITV2 in 2019, sees the loveable duo embrace their competitive spirits as they team up to take on the viewers in a series of outlandish, impulsive and no holds barred challenges that put their teamwork to the test.

Travelling up and down the country in their specially designed ‘Bro Mobile’, the Love Island double act will be assigned each challenge via their social media channels, in real time.

With only clues to guide them, Chris and Kem must decide whether to take on the challenge, knowing little about what exactly it will entail and who they will be competing against.

Having formed their unbreakable friendship during Love Island 2017, Chris and Kem have already collaborated on a one off rap single, before hitting the road for a You vs Chris and Kem special this Summer, which saw their various challenges include camel riding, gravy wrestling and speed eating donuts.

26% of children may be facing poverty by 2030

Cops find mother’s kidnapped boy safe NATIONAL Police officers in Barcelona have found an eightyear-old boy, who had been taken from his mother in the Netherlands.

The youngster, who had been kidnapped on 12th June last year from the town of Kruisstratt, was, allegedly, abducted by his father and a friend.

The boy, taken from his mother, who had the custody rights, was forced into a van, which was driven off quickly. And a statement by the police said the father

IN its report, entitled “The Future Where We Want To Grow”, Save the Children, predicts that around 26.5% of Spanish youngsters will face poverty in about 12 years or so, unless “urgent” action is taken.

The international, nongovernmental organisation’s warning comes as Government figures, released by Spain’s High Commissioner of Child

Poverty, shows that one in three children, 2.2 million, is currently at risk of poverty.

Spain was third in Europe for child poverty levels, behind Romania and Bulgaria, according to the High Commissioner.

And Andres Conde, director of Save the Children, said future generations would be condemned to poverty unless action was taken.

“Our estimated percentages of child poverty in 2030 are very high and unacceptable,” he said.

“We will continue paying for the consequences of our

current short-sightedness in the future.”

Save the Children said child poverty was estimated to cut GDP by around 5%. Obesity, dropping out of school and low productivity later in life, are all linked to, or caused by, child poverty, maintained the NGO. Better child-support payments, ensuring access to education for children aged three and under, along with healthcare improvements and extending maternity and paternity leave, would lower child poverty, said Save the Children.

had a record of violent crimes.

The Netherland authorities contacted Spain’s National Police because they had a suspicion that the offenders and the boy could be hiding out in Cataluña.

The Spanish police were able to locate the boy in Barcelona, where Special Operative Security Groups were called to carry out the rescue mission.

One of the offenders was arrested at the scene, but the father of the child has not yet been found.

A shelter centre is taking care of the boy until he is returned to his mother.

500 drug-busting cops get to grips with gang

Seprona handle 50,000 attacks in three years!

SPAIN’S Civil Guard nature protection service, Seprona, last year investigated or arrested 590 people for animal abuse, against both wild and domestic animals.

Officers revealed that 854 criminal offences were recorded, and, during the year, Seprona investigated 10,920 offences related to injuries against domestic animals. These does not include the 1,731 reports concerning potentiallydangerous dog breeds. The agency also addressed 3,974 complaints regarding owners keeping wild animals as pets.

In total, Seprona investigated 10,920 offences related to injuries against domestic animals in 2018. And their officers also investigated dog kennels and animal exploitation at farms and zoos on more than 200

The agency recorded 11,277 reports of animal abuse in 2017, which was higher than last year’s figure, but the number of people investigated rose by 1%, while the number of people arrested or charged jumped by 20% on the 2017 figures.

In the last three years, Seprona officers have taken action in 50,000 situations, involving all types of

attacks against wild and domestic animals. And, last year, 10% of the Civil Guard’s activities in defence of the environment were related to animal injuries or deaths.

Meanwhile, in Galicia, Seprona is currently investigating the brutal killing of four wild horses, which were corralled into a de-worming corridor and beaten to death.

Over 500 Guardia Civil officers from across the country are involved in an on-going operation, which, so far, has led to 36 searches.

Most police activity has focused on La Linea, where police have arrested several people linked to the Castañitas drug gang, whose crime dominates the border city.

The infamous gang are thought to control 70% of the hash, making its way across

the nearby Strait of Gibraltar, from Morocco into Spain.

The initial police operation has also used helicopters and boats, while a roadblock with vehicle controls has also been in place on the La Linea perimeter.

This dramatic action comes after Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, the Government delegate in Andalucia, stressed that youngsters must steer clear of drug-traffickers.

The politician, who issued the stark warning in Sevilla, added: “We will not stop until we find the last drug-trafficker of the Campo de Gibraltar, in the Cadiz province.

“And all those who work or collaborate with drugtraffickers, will end up in jail!”

AN investigation has been launched by police after a mysterious set of human remains were dug up in the back garden of an ex-pat Brit.

Costa del Sol police were alerted by the Olive Press, after British expat Nicholas Smith, 63, had tipped-off the online newspaper when discovering parts of a skull, jaw and leg bone.

The father-of-four, from Leicester, was stunned to find the remains when burying his dog, Elsa, at his home on the

15th February 2019 - 21st February 2019

Mystery of human bones, dug up by man in his garden

Costa del Sol, where he has lived for 12 years.

He believes the bones are those of a teenager, whose seemingly-shattered skull and bones were buried at his La Cala de Mijas home.

After meeting the former bricklayer and authenticating

the find, the Olive Press contacted the Guardia Civil.

Officers were on the scene within the hour, and had taped off the area before carrying out a full excavation.

They told the online paper: “We can confirm that a set

of human remains have been located on a property in the La Cala area. We cannot comment any further as this is now an ongoing investigation.”

Mr Smith believes the bones could be up to 100 years old, and the Guardia agree.

The East Midlands expat also believes the bones could

be the cause of a series of supernatural events at his house.

“There is a ghost in this house,” he said. “She once passed me wearing a shawl, and I’ve seen her passing through the windows. I think these bones are something to do with her.”

“I’ve spent every penny on this house, but she has told me, ‘it’s mine, not yours’,” he claimed.

There are more bones buried where Nicholas laid his dog Elsa to rest, but the expat, who suffers toe gangrene, was too weak to dig any further.

“I was very emotional and had to bury Elsa,” he said.

“She had already been dead for 24 hours.”

17-month toddler in cocaine horror party

A BABY aged 17 months, from Burgos, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, was taken to hospital after swallowing cocaine.

The tiny tot was, allegedly, brought to the emergency room in the early hours of the morning after she began crying inconsolably, and showing signs of irritation.

Initially, doctors were only able to diagnose dermatitis, although urine analysis later saw her test positive for cocaine.

The girl’s three-year-old sister was also treated by medics, but tested negative for the drug. The Spanish media say the children’s parents

have suffered from serious drug addictions for several years, and have both undergone various treatment programmes.

And though the mother was believed to have told police she had given up cocaine, both parents tested positive for the drug, after their child was taken to hospital.

Police claim the pair had held a party at their home the night before the incident, where several adults had, reportedly, taken the substance.

Officers believe that, somehow, the child gained access to the drug during the party.

A court has not put in place provisional measures to protect the children, and social services are looking after the little sisters until an investigation is complete.

THE Spanish Government has rejected a plan

by Germany and France, aimed at establishing a mechanism to take in irregular migrants arriving in the European Union.

Madrid has voiced its objection to the idea, given that it would be limited to migrants who appear in Italy or Malta, and would not include Spain. Yet, since last year, it has had to cope with the highest number of arrivals.

“Spain has no objection to temporary agreements, provided that they apply to the entire Mediterranean,” said Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, during an informal meeting with his EU counterparts in Bucharest.

The EU has spent months trying to find a temporary solution to avoid episodes such as those recently seen in the Mediterranean, with NGO rescue ships stranded at sea, and no

None of the initiatives mooted has so far prospered, but Spain hadn’t imposed an outright veto on the new plan.

There is a sense of weariness among Spanish lawmakers over the attitude of Italy, which has, essentially, closed

its borders to irregular migrants. They also feel that solidarity with Spain, as it copes with the influx of arrivals, is limited among fellow-EU member states.

The French-German plan was aimed at unblocking the EU migratory and asylum policy, which has been at a standstill since the

2015 refugee crisis.

Successive proposals, from obligatory quotas to sharing out asylum seekers between countries, or the creation of closed camps for irregular arrivals, have all foundered.

The latest plan from Berlin and Paris involved a temporary solution, based on a mechanism

The 22-year-old Spanish woman had been missing since September 2017, but the mother did not report her absence until December last year.

National Police officers found the severed corpse in a cold-store unit, at a house in Alcalá de Henares. Her Spanish boyfriend, 43, who was arrested last Friday, is now in custody.

Local reports claim that the man, who rents the house, told police the girl no longer lived with him, and, initially, refused to let them in.

Police said he did not have a criminal record, but if this case is confirmed as gender violence, it will mark the eighth killing of a woman by a partner, or ex-partner, so far this year.

also considers it unfair that the plan is designed to alleviate the migratory pressure on Italy and Malta, the two countries refusing to comply with their international obligations.

Marlaska reminded his colleagues that on several occasions, when Italy and Malta closed their ports to migrants, Spain agreed to take them in.

“Spain rescues them because it is obliged to do so,” said the minister, clearly reproaching those unwilling to do their part.

Despite Spain’s rejection, Brussels is behind the Paris-Berlin plan.

During the Bucharest meeting, European Migration Commissioner, Dimitris Avramopoulos, welcomed the fact that “Germany and France have taken a step towards making this temporary mechanism a reality, as soon as possible”.

In a Twitter post, he said: “Spain can continue to count on European support to tackle migration challenges, and to strengthen our co-operation with Morocco.”

Sweet treat for cola leaves the rest sour AN agreement to limit the volume of sugar in Spain’s soft drinks will apply to lemon-lime flavours only, excluding the extremely popular cola drinks from the policy.

Spain’s Government announced that food-andbeverage companies would be forced to reduce sugar, saturated fat, and salt from their products by 2020.

But critics say the policy does not go far enough, however, claiming that plans to limit the reduction to lemon-and-lime-flavoured drinks without artificial sweeteners leaves some of the most popular drinks, including orange-flavoured beverages, with higher levels of sugar.

Companies, which have already committed to lowering their levels, have been told they must continue to reduce their sugar content, although the Spanish Government has not announced guidelines on levels.

for sharing the migrants arriving from Libya.

This would be voluntary, and a handful of countries, the Netherlands, Portugal and Romania among others, as well as Italy and Malta, who would each benefit, appear willing to back the proposal.

But the plan is insufficient for Spain, given that it excludes the Mediterranean area currently attracting the most arrivals.

The route leading to the south of Spain constitutes the biggest entry point for clandestine immigration to Europe, with an all-time record of 64,000 arrivals last year, according to the Interior Ministry.

Wendy’s Lavamascotas

Wash and blow - doggie style!

Wendy’s Lavamascotas is a British-owned, selfservice pet wash, and much more! Wendy has only owned the business for a short time, but, already, word is spreading about this Costa del Silencio gem.

Wendy’s Lavamascotas is totally pet-orientated, and everything in the shop is geared towards making sure your pet has a pleasant bathing experience.

Free treats are offered, after your dog has had a relaxing shower, and there are towels and brushes for you to use.

There is a waiting area for busy times, and even one for dog parking!

The pet-wash machine uses comfortably-warm water, doggie-friendly shampoo and silkysmooth conditioner, to keep your pet in tip-top condition. There is also a relaxing warm blow-dry,

to finish.

The price for the self service is only three euros for six minutes, giving you plenty of time to wash your pet. The pet wash is very easy to use. For first-time users, there are very simple instructions, in three languages, situated on the front of the machine.

And if Wendy is there when you pop in, she will be very happy to assist!

If you would like to have your pet washed for you, a collection and delivery service is available, from as little as 10 euros, and this includes a walk!

Other services at Lavamascotas include pet sitting, dog walking and a pet taxi service.

Your pet can be visited and attended to, on any occasions where you are unable to care for them - if you are ill and need a little help, for example. All types of pets are included, not just our doggie friends.

There is a small pet store on site, so, after your dog has had a relaxing shower, he or she can browse around the store and bag a bargain or two. Wendy’s Lavamascotas like to

keep their prices as low as possible.

They supply food for dogs, cats and birds, as well as treats and toys, and accessories such as collars and leads. The accessories are either made in Germany or the Ukraine, so you can be sure they are top quality!

A delivery service is provided for food, toys and treats, throughout Costa del Silencio and the surrounding areas, including Golf del Sur. Just take a look at Wendy’s Lavamascotas Facebook page, or pay them a visit, to place your order.

Wendy is currently undertaking a grooming course, and, once completed, will be offering a grooming service. Please keep an eye on the Facebook page, and you will be informed when this service will begin.

Wendy’s Lavamascotas are very happy to donate a raffle prize, to help any animal charity holding a fund-raising event. You only need to ask! Please call Wendy on 685 356 831, pop into Lavamascotas, or message her on Facebook, letting her

know how she can help!

Find them on Calle Hercules 2, 38630, Costa del Silencio. (Chaparral 2, on the same road as Scooters, Chevy’s and Our Place). They are open seven days a week.

Wendy has had years of experience with dogs and animals. She was a trustee for the RSPCA (Sheffield Branch), a charity with which she had worked, since she was 16.

She was a volunteer with the Cinnamon Trust, and has also been the manager of kennels. She has a lot of experience with dogs with behavioural issues, and has two rescue dogs.

Ross, a Labrador X Boxer, came with her from the UK. He was an RSPCA court case, having been rescued from a very abusive home.

His past has left him with deep-seated issues, and he was in kennels for two years, because no one wanted to take him home.

Wendy’s Canarian rescue dog is Ben, who is a Labrador-cross. He was left uncared for on a finca, with two other dogs.

One escaped and one died. He, too, was beaten, and was very sensitive around his rear, and extremely protective of his tail.

A lady called Connie rescued him, and has since signed him over to Wendy, because she already has numerous pets. Ben and Ross get along very well, and are now happily settled.

adult cats who would love to be snuggled up on someone’s sofa today. There are males and females, ranging from 18 months to seven years. All adults are leukaemia negative, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. As previously mentioned, all cats go for a

week’s trial, in your home.

Shop volunteers We always need people who would like to work in our charity shop. Shifts are from 10am-2pm and 2-6pm, and you will never work alone.

The air-conditioned shop has a lovely atmosphere, and tea, coffee, and a

fridge full of goodies are provided.

They’re all there to be enjoyed, while in the company of our friendly volunteers, and very valued customers! If you are interested, please contact Sharon on 662 524 006, or pop into the shop for more information. Even if you can

only spare a few hours a week, that’s fine!

Clothes, books and jigsaws We are appealing to you all, please, for both ladies’ and men’s clothes, for our shop. We also need books of all genres, and in great condition, as well as jigsaws.

Please have a look around at home, and drop them into the shop.

Our shop We always need cat food, litter, sheets, towels, bedding etc. for the cats and kittens in our care, and also good quality/condition items for sale in the shop on San Blas, Golf del Sur (behind Hiperdino). It is open seven days a week, 10am-6pm.

We stock good-quality clothes of all sizes, at sensible, low prices. Pop along and take a look. Our customers come from all over the island, and we see many holidaymakers return, time and again, eager to snap up a bargain.

If you don’t have transport, or have large, bulky items such as furniture and household effects to donate, please ring Mark on 636 590 557, and he will arrange collection from you.

What a lucky girl! wear a green scarf or large handkerchief around your neck, to show unity. Please do come and support this event, and make a dog very happy by having a nice, gentle walk, down to the nearby beach.

Please contact the refuge, to confirm your attendance.

Freeze to please for breath of fresh air!

condensation and circulation could inspire manufacturers of air conditioning and humidifier units to modify their products. The improved cooling devices could then be used to eliminate the threat of indoor air pollution.

NTU researcher Robert Mortimer explained that outdoor air pollution is interlinked with its indoor equivalent. And the air quality for both indoor and outdoor spaces, around the world, has deteriorated to dangerous levels.

He considered the infamous

haze that hangs over Beijing, and the current health crisis in London schools, to be symptoms of the same greater problem that is outdoor air pollution.

He is also worried that the current levels of air purification technologies are too costly, ineffective, or even dangerous, to deploy in large numbers.

The natural reaction of people to high levels of outdoor air pollution is to remain indoors until the noxious haze passes.

But Mortimer warned that this practice is based on a false

sense of safety. If the quality of the air outdoors is bad, so is the quality of the indoor air.

Furthermore, the confined spaces of a home or office make it easier for air pollutants to concentrate. Indoor air pollution could, therefore, be many times more dangerous than outdoor pollution.

His CAS counterpart, Gang Pan, is much more upbeat.

He described the ease of use and simplicity of their cryogenic circulation system, which successfully removed the majority of fine particles and toxic gas from polluted air, by running the air through a very cold chamber.

“Our study makes it possible to add an ‘air-cleaner’ option to household appliances, in areas which might experience extremelypoor air conditions,” said Gang. “By controlling indoor air pollution and improving air quality in this way, this work could be greatly beneficial for public health.”

Every year, air pollution claims around 40,000 lives in the UK. Many more early deaths are reported in China and the rest of the world. But if the NTU and CAS succeed in refining and mass-producing their cryogenic circulation system, many of those lives could be saved.

has not changed over the millennia. It will trigger if a person encounters anything stressful, be it a predatory animal, or a message from a lover announcing a breakup.

Given that its purpose is to keep a human alive in the face of deadly danger, the response exerts very powerful effects on the body. It increases the strength and rate of a heartbeat, and it raises blood pressure as well. These changes ensure the body will have enough energy for fighting off an attacker, or running for one’s life.

Once it gets stressed, the human body can take up to three quarters of an hour before it winds back down to a normal state. And modern society happens to have an endless supply of all kinds of triggers that can keep a person locked in this stressful state, for long periods of time.

Box breathing offers a natural way to prevent stress. It can interrupt the fight-or-flight response, that normally overrides the normal functions of the brain and body.

The right way to box breathe: Box breathing is almost as

simple as counting. Inhale with your diaphragm while counting to five, and fill your lungs to their maximum capacity. Then exhale to a slower count of five.

Avoid the kind of agitated breathing that shoves the shoulders into the ears. That counts as “stress breathing,” a shallow form of breathing that keeps you in the fightor-flight mode, instead of relaxing your stressed body.

In addition to your lungs, you should also expand your stomach to the fullest. Filling your stomach with air opens up space in the abdomen for your diaphragm, which moves down in order to make room for your expanding lungs.

Once you have perfected the five-count box breathing, you can alter the ratio between inhalation and exhalation. Try exhaling to a longer slow count of eight.

After getting used to that, try out deep breathing ratios of 8:16, 10:20, 22:44, or 30:80.

British and Chinese researchers have come up with a cool idea to practically eliminate the amount of toxic fumes that we breathe in every day.

They want to freeze air drawn from outdoors, so that the polluting particles can be separated from the breathable gas. Only when the air is absolutely clean will it be allowed to enter a home or office.

In this air-purification setup, outdoor air will pass through condensing tubes, fitted within air-conditioning units.

The incoming air will be chilled to -0.4 F (-18 C).

When the air gets that cold, the pollutants will stick to each other, and become too heavy to stay afloat.

The burdened particles will drop to the bottom of the condensing tube, making it easy to dispose of them.

Meanwhile, the now-purified air will be allowed inside the building, and it will be very safe for the occupants to breathe in.

Researchers from the Nottingham Trent University

39 CW

(NTU) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) claimed that this method of freezing polluted air got rid of 99% of the toxic particulate matter, found in outdoor air pollution.

It also removed 98% of toxic nitrogen oxide from the air. Staying indoors will not protect you from outdoor air pollution. The NTU and CAS researchers have been working on ways to prevent outdoor air pollution from getting indoors in the first place. They believed their work on cryogenic

Box clever, breathe easy Box breathing is a form of deep, present and conscious breathing.

The exhalation of each breath is drawn out, so that it lasts longer than the inhalation.

This form of breathing signals the brain to tone down the sympathetic nervous system.

This stops the adrenal glands from releasing adrenaline, and other hormones responsible for the body’s fight-or-flight response to danger.

At the same time, box breathing also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. The latter releases relaxing chemicals that counterbalance the stress response of the sympathetic nervous system.

First responder and specialforces commandos are some of the pros who use box breathing to stay calm in

the toughest situations they encounter.

Humans have two natural responses to danger. Either they stand their ground and fight, or they flee for their lives.

CD Tenerife

Tenerife clueless, against a team who hadn’t won!

FOLLOWING three really good performances and giving successful debuts to new signings, as well as collecting some valuable points, Tenerife fell apart on Saturday evening.

Against the league’s bottom club, who hadn’t won a game all season, Tenerife looked clueless, and coach Oltra must be wondering what he can do, as his players continue to make life hard for themselves.

The first half was all Córdoba, who had CDT pressed up in their own half and having to defend their own area.

They looked extremely uncomfortable on the pitch, and were hardly able to get out of their own half, except for a forced header from Racic after 36 minutes, which Córdoba keeper Lavic held with ease.

Two minutes later, Aguado took a Córdoba corner, which was flicked on by Flaño at the near post, and headed calmly past flailing keeper Dani Hernandez by Chus Herrero.

Tenerife 0 Cordoba 2

Without Milla, Tenerife lacked their usual fluidity, and could not find the end product that Suso brings to the team.

With the ball repeatedly near Dani’s goalmouth area, it was no surprise that Tenerife’s

Surf-beater Bisso triumphs

Battling Bisso, well on his way to his first big victory

TIMOTHEE Bisso has won surfing’s Cabreiroá Las Americas Pro Tenerife, which is part of a Qualifying Series event, held in the Canary Islands.

The 21-year-old Guadeloupe surfer beat fellow countryman Paul Cesar Distinguin, despite the inconsistent surf at Las Americas.

Bisso was building momentum throughout, and, while he had a couple of close calls, he dominated his final rounds to claim the first contest of his career.

“I moved to Portugal recently, and there are so many great waves on which to train,” he said.

On the women’s side, local star Daniela Boldini dominated the competition, beating Canales Bilbao in front of her home crowd.

keeper had to make a good save from a De Las Cuevas shot, another from an Álex Menéndez corner at the near post, and a Carrillo header that went high.

In fact, the statistics said it all, as Córdoba went in at half-time, having had eight shots, four on target, and taken four corners, while lethargic Tenerife were limited to one corner-kick and a lone shot at Lavín’s goal.

In the second half, they

came out with a spring in their step and tried to make things happen. Borja had a shot, immediately, which hit the side-netting. Suso and Hector put good balls from both sides, but the striker Tenerife needs desperately, never appeared ... and neither did they buy one in the winter transfer window.

Unfortunately for home fans, the recent improvement was not accompanied by much success, and the introduction of Coniglio

changed nothing.

As the second half went on, Córdoba edged back in to the game and had a couple of half-chances on the counter-attack, before Miguel De las Cuevas put the game to bed in the 77th minute.

After a nothing foul, Córdoba had a freekick 20 yards out and in front of goal. De las Cuevas stepped up and, nonchalantly, curled the ball around the wall and straight in to the far corner of the goal, giving Dani no chance: 2-0, game, set and match.

Tenerife considered it impossible to overcome the deficit, and Cordoba knew just how to protect their first victory of the season, after three draws and nine defeats.

To say that the players, fans, and the coach were deflated at the end would be an understatement.

Tenerife now travel to Cadiz tomorrow (Saturday) for a tricky away game, in the knowledge that Córdoba’s win leaves them, along with Numancia, still looking for their first away victory this season.

Yet they knew this was a real chance to move up the table and continue their good momentum.

Now? Back to the drawing board!

It is also tight at the top of Division 2, Emerald Lounge ‘B’ soundly beating Nauta Nomads 8-0 at home. The LochIn Bullseyes went the other way to play Naughty Nautas, and, in a tough

game, secured a 5-3 win, thanks to the trebles. It kept their noses ahead, by two points.

Ourplace Breakaways had their best result of the season, welcoming highflying Waterfall, and throwing their best darts to win 7-1.

Congratulations to all the teams who fought through to the last four in the Cup and Plate.

Good luck to you all.

Brilliant Banks left us a lifetime legacy THE legendary Pelé led worldwide tributes, following Tuesday’s death of 81-year-old Gordon Banks, who was widely regarded as England’s greatest goalkeeper, and a key member of the triumphant 1966 World Cup team.

Brazil’s much-feted superstar will be forever linked with Banks through one of the most memorable moments in the 1970 World Cup. Brazilian Pelé said: “I have great sadness in my heart today, and I send condolences to the family Gordon was so proud of.

“I scored many goals in my life, but people always like to ask

about the one I didn’t score, because of that save.

“While it was, indeed, phenomenal, my memory of Gordon is not defined by that.

I am glad he saved my header because it was the start of a friendship I will always treasure. Whenever we met, it was like we had never been apart.”

Fellow World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton said: “Gordon was a fantastic goalkeeper, and, without doubt, one of the best England had ever had.

“I was proud to call him a team-mate and he will be deeply missed. Obviously, we shared that great day in 1966, but it was more than that.

“Even though I was on the pitch and have seen it many times since, I still don’t know how he saved that header from Pelé.

That one save, in particular,

catapulted him into the ranks of lasting legends.”

Banks told admirers afterwards: “I didn’t even know I’d made it.”

A modest man throughout his life, Banks won 73 England caps before his career came to a premature end, when a 1972 car crash cost him the sight in one eye.

He won FIFA’s Goalkeeper of the Year award six times, and was voted Footballer of the Year in 1972, after his semi-final penalty save against West Ham helped Stoke win the League Cup. He was also the first keeper to receive the honour since Manchester City’s Bert Trautmann, in 1956.

But Banks described beating Chelsea in the League Cup final as his proudest moment in club football.
