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

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

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

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

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

What is the alternative?

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

The returns over the last few years have been:

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018

6.80% 6.88% 9.48% 5.85% 8.68% 5.5% The growth on a Spanish tax compliant bond is free of tax until a withdrawal is made. Even then only the growth is subject to tax.

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

The bond is backed by an AA rated financial institution which is subject to a strict legal and regulatory environment, to European Law, and having to comply with all applicable European directives and regulations and to meet European solvency margins.

Under EU law, assets are to be used to repay policy holders should the company be wound up.

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

Youngster tried to rape worker at minor’s centre A WOMAN, working at a La Laguna care home for unaccompanied foreign minors, has reported an attempted rape by a youngster at the centre.

The incident happened on 19th August, at around 3.30am, and she reported the 17-year-old Moroccan to the police, shortly after he attempted to molest her.

The previous day, the youngster was reported to have had a violent episode, smashing up furniture as well

Continued from Front

Creature’s poison sting kills 60% of its victims Her parents came across the poisonous creature, known as an arachnid, as they were emptying her bag, and preparing material for the youngster on her return to school after the summer holidays.

After getting over the shock, they reported their terrifying discovery to the Canarian emergency services, via a 112 call to their 24-hour emergency line.

The telephonist, who took the call, passed the information on to the Neotropical Foundation, and the family’s description of the venomous scorpion caused major concern to officials there.

That’s because this particular species (Androctonus mauretanicus), identified by a fat tail, is recognised for its high toxicity.

In fact, it is the deadliest of scorpions in Morocco, responsible for up to 60% of deaths, caused by the creature’s stings.

Fortunately, though, the call was made in time and no nasty incidents were reported by the Adeje family.

Within an hour of receiving the emergency notification, the conservation Foundation, using a specific protocol, retrieved the scorpion safely, and it is now being cared for by its staff.

as throwing seats across the unit.

A few hours afterwards, the teenager was seen with another minor in the communal area. It was late, and, when asked by members of staff why they were in the communal area, they were told it was because the young men couldn’t sleep.

According to sources, the victim accompanied them to their rooms and waited around until one of the individuals was asleep. She then convinced the older youngster to return to his room.

The accused, in a statement, said he was under the impression that the carer was making an effort to say goodbye. He also said she had explained that she was going on holiday, and it would be a while before they saw each other again.

When the carer lent towards the individual to give him two kisses, the Moroccan started to smother her, all over the face and neck, The carer tried, instinctively, to free herself, but was held firmly while the young man began to touch her, inappropriately, all over her body, specifically in intimate areas.

According to sources, the woman was already vulnerable, having recently had surgery on her arms, which meant she had little strength to fight him off.

The carer told officers that she had to bite the young man’s arm to try to free herself. But in doing so, the teenager told her, mockingly, to bite his neck instead.

Her struggle with the attacker continued, but he managed to get the carer into his room, eventually.

Fortunately, another

youngster at the centre woke up, which stopped the teenager in his tracks.

The carer then left the room to return to the communal area, only to be followed by her attacker. To her amazement, he continued to assault her again, sexually, which is when she began to scream to raise attention.

The centre director was made aware of the situation and informed the police immediately.

The young Moroccan is in police custody at present.

Gran Canaria secures a Unesco Heritage site

FROM German waterways to the ruins of Babylon, there was stiff competition to secure a place on the updated list of cultural heritage sites.

And included this year is Gran Canaria’s picturesque Risco Caído and the Sacred Mountains.

Risco Caído, in a vast mountainous area in the centre of the island, displays cliffs, ravines and volcanic formations, in a landscape

of rich biodiversity. It also features a large number of troglodyte settlements, habitats, granaries and cisterns, whose age is proof of the presence of a preHispanic culture on the island.

It has evolved in isolation, from the arrival of North African Berbers, around the beginning of our era, until the first Spanish settlers in the 15th century.

Spain has now achieved a total of 48 World Heritage sites, surpassed only by China and Italy.

Arona offering almost €500,000 in study aid ARONA residents have until 24th September to apply for special education grants, for university or higher education studies, music and transportation.

The offer, which has a total of 492,000 euros available, also includes subsidies for the extracurricular activities, implemented by AMPAS. Arona Town Hall’s Education Department, led by Councillor Yurena García, has named the deadline for requesting study grants for the new 2019/2020 academic year, which will benefit more

13th - 19th September 2019

than 1,040 families.

Successful applicants will be able to enjoy the various subsidies to fund the cost of school transport (120,000 euros in vouchers), university studies or higher music (275,000 euros) and special education (66,000 euros), as well as aid for eligible AMPAS development activities in the municipality (31,000 euros).

Arona Mayor José Julián Mena said: “We continue our important commitment to the education of Arona residents, putting in place all the necessary resources that determine real support for families, facilitating the development of the youth of our municipality.”

He added: “We know it is a

fundamental and necessary investment, and is within our priorities, and we are also working to ensure that everyone knows about these grants, so they can apply for them within the given time period.”

Yurena García stressed: “This type of aid is essential for many families. It is an education investment that involves the relief in the day-to-day schedule of many mothers and fathers, who make a great effort to ensure that their children can continue with their studies.

“Our young people are the future of Arona, so it is gratifying to be able to provide aid that guarantees their formation.”

La Gomera’s annual day of remembrance ON Wednesday, 11th September, many residents remembered one of the worst tragedies of all in the Canary Islands, which happened in La Gomera, 35 years ago.

For most of them, the terrible incident felt like yesterday, yet 3½ decades have passed, and the forest fire La Gomera suffered is still registered today as one of Spain’s greatest human tragedies, with the most fatalities caused by a forest fire ever known in the country.

Every year, since 1984, the La Gomera Cabildo remember the tragedy, in which 20 people lost their lives.

A special remembrance ceremony is held at Roque de Agando, and flowers are placed in memory of the victims.

A special monument was erected in 1984, next to Roque de Agando, on which the names of the 20 victims are inscribed.

Crash sparks TF-1 jam

AN accident on the TF-1 motorway in the Fañabe area last Sunday brought traffic to a sudden halt.

A car travelling southbound, which turned over and crashed on to the hard shoulder, was taken away by a pick-up truck because it had been immobilised.

But the incident caused large traffic jams, and many drivers were stuck in queues for up to an hour.

The woman driver involved in the accident, who, surprisingly, suffered minor injuries only, was treated at a nearby hospital.

Violent, knife-wielding thief performed locally

A MAN from Las Galletas, arrested by the Guardia Civil, was charged with violent robberies at specific companies in nearby El Fraile and Costa del Silencio.

In total, four crimes were committed, and all appeared to follow the same modus operandi.

The robberies took place at the end of the day, as the businesses were closing up.

The 28-year-old attacker approached employees from behind, taking them by surprise, and then using

violence and intimidation.

According to the victims, he was armed with a knife and wielded it in an intimidating manner, while demanding the daily takings from the employees.

Wisely, they always agreed to the attacker’s demands without resistance, to avoid being stabbed with the knife,

or injured in any way.

As soon as the thief had what he wanted, he left the premises promptly. The estimated sum he had stolen was thought to be around €12,000.

After being arrested, he was presented before the judicial authorities and is awaiting a prison sentence.

Fourth general election may be on way, unless Sanchez risks solo path

Missing pensioner turns up in squatters’ building

SPANISH voters might have to go to the polls, again, after talks between the PSOE and Podemos broke down on Monday night.

If caretaker Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez cannot win a parliamentary vote on forming a new government by 23rd September, a general election will be called for 10th November, even though the PSOE leader wants to go it alone.

After nearly four hours of talks, Adriana Lastra, from the Sanchez negotiating team, said: “There isn’t a path to reach an agreement, and we don’t see an exit from this situation.”

Pablo Echnenique, a leading Podemos negotiator, said Spain was now definitively heading towards early elections.

“The Socialists aren’t moving from their position of forming a government by themselves, as if they had an absolute majority,” he added.

No plans have been made

Juan Diego Pérez González

for future talks, but Sánchez and his PSOE socialist party must be tearing their hair out after winning the most seats at last Sunday’s general election, but are left short of an outright majority.

The acting Prime Minister totalled 123 votes, far more than any of his rivals, but fewer than the 140 he sought.

He actually needed 176 to be clear, yet the results gained by the main right-wing parties mean he has little risk of being trumped by a coalition agreement between them.

That could persuade him to go it alone, and Sánchez said after the latest elections that he would attempt to govern

without a coalition.

He fears that being held hostage to the individual demands of other parties would leave him in a weak position.

His PSOE supporters have already demonstrated in the street, calling for their party of choice to resist any temptation to form a pact with Ciudadanos, which would give him a full majority.

His most likely path back to the presidency, if he agrees, would be to join forces with left-wing Podemos, which has gone from being Spain’s third-largest political power to fourth, dropping from 72 seats to 42.

Crime rate in the Canaries goes up

THE crime rate in the Canaries has risen in the Canaries by 6.4% in the first six months of the year, compared with the same 2018 period.

All the collective police authorities across the Canary Islands have received these figures, revealing some 47,148 reports of criminal offences.

In Tenerife, between January and June 3.4% (20,348), criminal offences were registered in this period.

And the rates are also up elsewhere: on Gran Canaria 9.2% (19,023), Lanzarote 1.3% (3,373) Fuerteventura 13.2% (3,161), La Palma 9,1% (887) La Gomera 37,5% (165) and El Hierro 30.0% (91).

The two largest cities across the

archipelago closed these first six months with criminal offences rising 10% more than last year, Gran Canaria’s Las Palmas topping Tenerife with 8,216.

Despite the overall crime growth, however, statistics in the Canary Islands during those six months show a decrease in more serious crimes.

Homicides and murders were reduced by 50%, from 18 to nine, sexual assaults with penetration fell 34.6% (52 to 34), drug-trafficking cases fell 13.4% (359 to 311), forced entry with robbery at homes or establishments decreased 22.9% (2,704 to 2,085), as well as robberies with violence or intimidation, which also decreased 2.6% (from 732 to 713).

The figures were release from the Spain’s Home Office.

LOCAL Police, based in Granadilla, have found the pensioner who was reported missing at the start of the month.

Juan Diego Pérez González, 73, was discovered at a wellknown San Isidro building, used by squatters.

A neighbour told police that an elderly, naked man, seemingly disorientated, fitted the description provided and was in the El Barco building, as it is known by locals.

The Local Police soon found him inside the apartment

block on the first floor, and he was wearing just a vest.

It was apparent to officers that he was disorientated, so an ambulance was requested to assist him. And, as they awaited it, they began to clean up the area, getting rid of the rubbish and removing furniture to make it easy to access the apartment.

In the process, they came across his clothes and shoes, and helped him dress before the medical team arrived.

When they did, the pensioner was taken to San Isidro’s medical centre promptly for observation.

Woman biker killed after hitting barrier A FEMALE motorbiker aged 25, died on Wednesday afternoon in a traffic accident on the TF-21 insular road, connecting Teide National park and the La Orotava valley.

Witnesses said the woman, from El Sauzal, failed to lean on the bend, and, instantly, crashed into a concrete protection barrier on the

road, suffering a heart attack as a result of the impact.

The emergency services, which included an ambulance and a medical helicopter, as well as various Guardia Civil officers, arrived at the scene just before 7pm.

Unfortunately, all they could they could do was certify her death.

This year, several people have lost their lives on roads across the archipelago, specifically Tenerife, because of the high number of traffic accidents.

Guardia officer is toddler life-saver A GUARDIA Civil officer, working at Tenerife North Airport, acted swiftly on Monday afternoon over an incident involving a two-year-old toddler.

The officer was told that a little girl, travelling with both parents, was in urgent need of medical attention.

The family were about to board their flight when, suddenly, the toddler began choking on something, which caused her breathing difficulties. She then fell into a semi-conscious state, through lack of oxygen.

When the officer arrived, the child was lying on the floor, surrounded by a group of people, as well as her

parents. He cleared the onlookers immediately, and, instinctively, carried out the Heimlich procedure, Before long, the toddler’s airways were cleared, and, little by little, she began to regain consciousness, leaving the parents eternally grateful for the Guardia’s quick-thinking, which saved their daughter’s life.

Arsonists are blazing menace

ARSONISTS, who wrecked 17 vehicles, forced up to 50 residents from their homes in the early hours of last Tuesday in Malaga.

Emergency services evacuated an apartment block in the resort town of Torre del Mar, after a fire was started at around 3.30am.

A 31-year-old man had to be treated in hospital because of the fire. The arson horror began at 2.30am on

Tuesday, after a motorcycle parking lot was found alight in the Paz neighbourhood.

An hour later, a motorcycle and work van were set ablaze in the Heroes de Sostoa district. Two motorcycles and a Nissan SUV were later found burning in the Torcal neighbourhood.

In all, 13 motorcycles and six cars were set on fire over the course of the night. But residents of the apartment block were later allowed to return home, after emergency services put out the blaze.

Mobile phone rescue App proves its worth A NEW mobile phone App, linking users to the 112 emergency hotline, has already proved highly effective, as a recent rescue on the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrims’ route demonstrated.

Firefighters from the Auritz (Burguete) station, in the land-locked northern region of Navarra, located a lost hiker who, exhausted from going around in circles, was stuck in a hard-to-reach forest area, near the Ibañeta village.

But he had downloaded the App ‘My112’, and the emergency services were able to trace his exact location.

They were contacted by SOS Navarra at around 4.22pm last Monday to say that a walker, on the popular 1,000-year-old route, had lost his way on the border stage, between St-Jean-de-Pie de Port-Orreaga, southern France, and Roncesvalles in Navarra.

The “pilgrim”, from the Aragón area of Zaragoza, said he had fallen over a few times and twisted his ankle.

But, by hitting the ‘Emergency’ icon on ‘My112’, the exact co-ordinates of where

he was based were flagged up.

These were given to fire brigade officials, so they knew they had to send out a 4x4 vehicle, and take climbing equipment to scramble down the steep hill, into the dense forest.

But the lost hiker, still able to walk, was redirected on to the NA-2033 highway, which led to Ibañeta town and the Espinal holiday park, where he was able to get a bed for

the night before continuing the next day.

While attending to the Zaragoza man, the fire brigade was already on site when, just over an hour later, they were called to help a Colombian walker, who had sprained his ankle.

But had the original trekker not been traced so quickly, thanks to the App, emergency services would not have been on hand to find the injured man.

Hospital hammer man even warned the staff A MAN aged 29, who already has a criminal record, has been charged by the National Police with threatening behaviour at a hospital emergency room in La Laguna.

He was arrested and charged with threatening staff and patients with a hammer at the hospital’s emergency waiting room, causing panic with everyone in the area.

He entered the waiting room, shouting at staff and patients around him, and waving the hammer in a manner which suggested he wanted to attack something… or someone!

The people in the waiting area were quickly removed by the medical team, including the security officers,

to another area of the hospital to ensure their safety.

The National Police, who had already been notified, were at the scene within minutes.

Officers spoke with the hospital staff and security guards before they found

the troublesome man. He was quickly detained by officers, who then took him to their National Police station for further questioning.

Fortunately, no one was injured, thanks to their rapid response.

A GRANDMOTHER felt sure she was going to die, after being thrown from a camel and attacked by the creature on a holiday excursion in Fuerteventura.

Karen Saccone was stamped on and kicked by one camel, before another one joined in the attack, on a Fuerteventura beach.

The 61-year-old suffered serious injuries, including a fractured pelvis, five broken ribs and a collapsed lung, as well as severe problems with a knee.

She spent a week in hospital on the Island after the incident, in June 2017.

The grandma was then transferred back to the UK, where she spent another week in the East Midlands Major Trauma Centre at Queen’s Medical Centre, in Nottingham.

Karen, describing how the horrific incident unfolded, said: “I thought I’d treat myself, because I’d never been on a camel ride before and I wanted to experience it.

“But everything happened in such a blur. I had, literally, just bought the camel ride and sat on the chair when the camel went to stand up.

never again see my daughter or grand-daughter.

Stabbed teenagers were left bleeding TWO teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were left bleeding badly last Monday night in Gran Canaria, after being stabbed.

The incident happened in Santa Lucia de Titajana, in Calle Tiagua, and the emergency services were called just after 10pm.

An ambulance was requested by a caller, who

said they needed medical attention. The first youngster to receive assistance had suffered stab wounds to his arms. He was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital to receive further treatment.

His companion, who had several wounds to his body, was also taken to the hospital for treatment.

Guardia Civil officers have been investigating the matter.

Mitchell have now secured an admission of liability from the insurers of the camelexcursion provider.

Karen added: “It is hard to emphasise just how much of an impact this incident has had on me. Everything that happened was incredibly traumatic.

“It is terrible to think that I have needed surgery, relating to the problems caused by the incident, two years on.

“I don’t know if I will ever be able to come to terms with what happened, but news of the admission of liability is very welcome, and I hope it is a step towards me being able to continue to access vital treatment and support.

“I also hope no one else ever has to face what I am going through. I would also like to say a massive thanks to the holiday rep, who went above and beyond to visit me every day in hospital.”

Kaz Khan, an international, serious-injury specialist at Irwin Mitchell, said: “This case revolves around a truly shocking incident, which continues to affect Karen to this day.

“Excursion companies have a duty of care to ensure customers can enjoy trips and activities in a safe environment, and, on this occasion, the excursionprovider failed to keep Karen safe.

“While nothing will change what occurred, we are pleased to have secured an admission of liability from the insurers of the company involved.

“We will continue to support Karen, to help her access ongoing treatment and support. We are hopeful that our efforts will mean that lessons are learned, so that the issues seen in this case are not repeated.”

Runaway gunman in hiding

NATIONAL Police are still hunting for a gunman, believed to be responsible for shooting a neighbour to death on the Costa del Sol on Monday.

The 53-year-old Spaniard who is, reportedly, familiar with his victim, has gone on the run after the Fuengirola murder, at around 6.40pm.

Several neighbours dialled the 112 emergency service to report the sound of gunshots in the Los Nucleos area, right by the fairground.

Medical staff were rushed to the scene, alongside police, but there was nothing they could do to save the man.

Police say they have yet to find a motive.

Motorists, beware a ‘cure’ to ease that awful misery

DRIVERS, often unaware of certain medication that can lead to a positive test for alcohol or drugs at the wheel, could be handed a 1,000-euro fine and a six-point loss on their licence in Spain.

Everyone gets a cold now and again. But next time, motorists who suffer those coughs and sneezes should remember to think twice when they need to drive.

Taking such drugs as ibuprofen, anxiolytics (anti-anxiety pills), cough suppressants, antihistamines, muscle relaxants, antiepileptics, antiparkinsonians

or antidepressants, to ease your misery, could prove costly if you are stopped by police.

Be aware that these drugs can affect your ability to drive, and their effects can be confused with those of cocaine, cannabis, barbiturates or amphetamines.

The Spanish Medicine Agency says there are 5,000 medicines and drugs that can reduce the ability to drive. But most motorists do not know that they can be fined for driving under the influence of these medications, if they don’t have the correct prescription.

Most are also unaware of the warning symbol or pictogram on medication boxes, indicating that that are incompatible with driving.

Any chance of a few bob?

NEW Government figures have revealed that over the last decade, the number of Spanish “superricos” millionaires has grown extensively.

In 2017, Spain had 611 “superrich” individuals: taxpayers whose reported wealth was more than €30m.

Tax Agency data identifies this as a 74% increase on 2011, when this exclusive group counted just 352 people among its ranks.

It was the same year in which former Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero brought back property tax, as Spain was hit by economic crisis.

In the same period, the number of millionaires, with a wealth of over €1.5m, also swelled by 35%, to 60,337.

But while the number of Spain’s super-rich has grown in the last decade, the poor have become poorer!

Meanwhile, the estates of Spain’s 202,400 most-well-off taxpayers, who pay wealth tax, totalled €669bn, which was a 55% surge compared with eight years ago.

Even more impressive is the 110% increase since 2011, in the total combined wealth, of those in the €30m-plus category.

However, this year’s Tax Agency figures will again raise questions over the lenient policies Madrid has on its super-rich.

Madrid’s capital is the only Spanish autonomous community where taxpayers do not pay “estate tax”, which deprives the public coffers of €955.6m a year.

Man ‘shot dead’ his 82-year-old mother Ceremonial dress meeting for King and Ambassador

HUGH Elliott, the new British Ambassador to Spain, presented his credentials to King Felipe VI, officially, at a formal audience in Madrid last week, and they both wore ceremonial dress for the occasion.

The meeting occurred during a key week for the Brexit process, which, outside the politics of Westminster, had seen both UK and Spanish Governments make reassuring moves to support the protection of British expat rights.

POLICE have arrested a man, believed to have killed his mother with a shotgun when she threw herself in front of him as he took aim at his sister.

The mum, named only as Pepi, was a housewife and life-long resident in the Malaga district of Puerto de la Torre.

The incident happened last week, and witnesses say the victim was shot when she came between the brother and sister. She was hit twice, once in the abdomen and once in the head.

“He was going for the sister, who ran away,” said one neighbour.

The arrested man, a security guard, is said by police to have had a firearms certificate and was a keen clay-pigeon shooter.

Emergency services were called at 1pm, but there was nothing medics could do to save the victim.

The alleged killer, aged 50, is the eldest of three siblings, who shared the house with

his mother. According to one of them, his mother had told him just a week ago that she was scared, and that she was afraid that the eldest of her children would do something to her because he wasn’t taking his medication for the schizophrenia he seemed to have been suffering from for some time. But she refused to go to police.

This is the third recent alleged parricide in Malaga. The other two occurred in July, barely 24 hours apart.

In one case, a 45-yearold woman was arrested for, allegedly, beating her 71-year-old father to death and stabbing her mother.

The attack took place in a house in the La Union area, where the two victims lived. Similarly, a 24-yearold man was alleged to have stabbed his father to death in El Limonar, and fled in a bus after the assault.

But he was located and arrested shortly after by Local Police.

Spanish theme park set to hit the heights

13 CW

Man, 24, wanted parents to offer financial support A SPANISH man, who attempted to force his parents to pay him financial support, some six years after he moved out, has lost a civil case.

EUROPE’S top theme park, according to TripAdvisor, receives more than two million annual visitors, despite having no rides… and Spain is about to find out why.

The famous French theme park Puy Du Fou has opened a second site on the outskirts of Toledo. And Puy du Fou Espana is modelled on its French counterpart, ranked the second-most-popular theme park in France, after Disneyland Paris.

The park attracts two million visitors every year, with historical, set-piece reenactments, featuring Viking ship battles and warring kings, all set in the Middle Ages.

From 2021, visitors to Spain’s latest theme park will be

able to enjoy the El Sueno de Toledo performance, which is based on 1,500 years of Spanish history.

Puy Du Fou has activities for everyone to enjoy, and, while spread across 30 hectares, Puy du Fou Espana will put on four shows daily, within epic sets featuring castles and colosseums.

The new park, just an hour from Madrid, will also have a huge mediaeval village, with shops and restaurants, along with two further settlements to explore. For now, though, guests can visit on Fridays and Saturdays only.

France’s Puy du Fou, which first opened in 1978, has received five stars on TripAdvisor from over 14,000 reviews.

The amusement park has also been voted the Best Theme Park in Europe, as well as the world’s fifth-best Theme Park.

The 24-year-old told a judge in Barcelona that his divorced parents should pay for his upkeep, because he had decided to go back to school and did not have the time to support himself by working.

However, the court rejected his claim, telling him: “You must accept the responsibilities that come with your decisions.”

In a ruling, the appellate court said that he ceased to be under the unconditional protection of his parents, after turning 18 and moving out.

Additionally, the judge said: “His own decision to go back to school should have taken into account his chances of balancing these studies with the work necessary for his own upkeep.”

According to respected daily newspaper El Pais, his parents split up when he was still under age, and he lived

with both in their respective homes.

At the age of 18 he was not studying anything, despite having signed up for a vocational training course.

He was not working, either, and the money he r eceived from a study scholarship was, reportedly, spent on a tattoo.

When his father put pressure on him to either find work or focus on his studies, the young man decided to move in with his paternal grandparents.

A lower court, which first heard his case, heard how

the man had signed up as a job-seeker, just a few days before the hearing. He had also enrolled in a business administration course, which included an internship at a company.

He claimed his parents should cover his food expenses because he was studying, and that his grandparents should not be forced to cough up.

But both the lower and the appellate court agreed that no relative could be expected to maintain the illusions or expectations of someone who is an adult.

‘Wildfires’ woman is held,then freed on €10,000 bail

A WOMAN has been released on a €10,000 bail, after being arrested over a trio of wildfires in Marbella.

The 59-year-old Spaniard, who has no criminal record, is still being probed for an alleged forest crime.

She denied all charges, after being handcuffed on Monday, while in possession of several lighters and “flammable material”.

Police consulted two witnesses, who both claimed they saw the woman in the affected areas when the fires broke out.

There was a fire on 22nd August near the Bello Horizonte urbanisation, forcing 40 homes to be evacuated.

A week later, on 29th August, another blaze broke out in Los Monteros, not far from the Hospital Costa del Sol, with a third reported on 2nd September.

AN insider at the Tax Agency helped con foreign sports players out of €6.3m in total, in a scam run by three lawyers, which involved filing fraudulent claims for rebates in the names of high-profile sportsmen, who were residents in other countries.

A Madrid court, together with the public prosecutor for financial crimes, have busted a criminal organisation, which cheated foreign footballers and basketball players at Spanish clubs of potential income-tax refunds.

All Spanish businesses deduct IRPF, as the levy is known, from their workers’ incomes, but foreigners who are not tax residents in Spain can claim back nearly half of this money by proving that they are living in another country.

The scam worked by forging the signatures of the players, and submitting the necessary forms to Spain’s Tax Agency, to claim the funds owed to the sportspeople in question.

The prosecutor’s written accusation said the scheme operated between 23rd February 2015 and November 28th 2016, and was able to defraud the €6.3m sum without the knowledge of the footballers and basketball players in question.

Some of them had played for high-profile clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. The scam was run by three lawyers, with the help of Leonor SánchezCaballero, a top official at the Spanish Tax Agency.

She used her access to tax data to alert the lawyers to the foreign players, who had left Spanish teams without requesting their IRPF refund, either out of ignorance of the entitlement, or because they had forgotten to do so.

The top tax official then provided the names and tax details of the players to her cohorts, who forged the players’ signatures and

Publisher, Proprietor and Editor: MES ONCE SL Depósito Legal TF 1209/97 CIF: B- 38753802

Gang of scammers raked in €6.3m by cheating top stars

completed the paperwork to request the refund.

Investigation sources say the criminal network gave Sánchez-Caballero gifts, and paid for holidays to entice her into looking for potential victims.

She became involved in the scam through her exhusband, Juan Ignacio Torrontegui. Together with Julio Lapausa Verdial and Manuel Val Jiménez, he is one of the three lawyers under investigation.

According to prosecutors, the lawyers presented the Tax Agency with forged documentation to request the refunds.

This included residency certificates and proof of the income-tax deducted by the sports clubs, as well as the bank details of where the

money should be paid.

Sánchez-Caballero was in charge of studying the details of the players’ prior tax returns, so that the documentation would be as authentic as possible and not ring any alarm bells.

On 23rd February 2015, the lawyers requested a tax refund of €94,700 by falsifying the signature of a sports player, who, in this case, was a UK tax resident.

Later that year, another €209,896 was raked in by one of them, claiming to be a player, resident in Brazil.

The network also falsified tax-residency certificates from Turkey, Uruguay, Russia, Portugal, France and Mexico, as well as tax withholding certificates from sports clubs such as Rayo Vallecano, Getafe and Mallorca.

To appropriate the money, the accused used signatures from sports consultancy firms Lapver and Star Athletes Society.

The Madrid court and the public prosecutor for financial crimes have been investigating the scam for two years.

In the written accusation, the prosecutor has called for each of the lawyers to be jailed for nine years, and for Sánchez-Caballero to be given 11 years and a fiveyear ban from public office.

As well as jail time, the accused are also facing fines of more than €18m. The prosecutor has contacted those affected by the scam, who say they never requested the refund; nor do they know any of the members of the criminal network.

Spain leads Europe in electric-car sales SPAIN is leading the way in Europe in electric car sales, with a total of 166,905 new registrations in the first six months of the year, representing an 88.5% growth.

The Association of European Automobile Constructors (ACEA) says that, in 2018, Spain showed the greatest growth in new electric-car sales out of Europe’s top five markets, with 5,452 vehicles, adding up to a 141.5% increase.

In contrast, growth in cleanfuel vehicle sales was just 60.3% in the UK, 80.1% in Germany and 46% in France, with only Italy coming close, at 123.6%.

Overall, in the second quarter of 2019, a total of 83,263 electric cars were sold in Europe, representing an 89.7% increase over the second quarter of 2018, when 43,900 were sold.

Hybrid vehicle sales went down in Europe in the first half of this year, by 13.7%,

to 83,409, and by 22% in the second quarter, to 40,090.

Despite the fall, the numbers of hybrid and 100%-electric cars being sold remain roughly equal, as hybrids are considered a convenient “insurance policy” against being unable to refuel, through lack of charging points.

When choosing a new car, drivers are tending to opt for hybrid or electric, rather than petrol-powered vehicles, whose sales fell by 3.5% across the continent from January to June.

But they still remain more popular than other forms of green fuel, with 128,421 newly-registered gas or ethanol cars sold in the first

half of 2019.

Petrol remains the mostpurchased vehicle type, with their growth lower, at 2.2% across Europe, but with 4.9m cars sold straight off the forecourt. But diesel-driven cars have fallen from favour in Europe, with 17.1% fewer sold in the first six months of 2019. Yet they still outstripped electric, hybrid and gas sales, with 2.63m produced and sold.

The main barriers to drivers seeking new cars and switching to electric are the cost of purchase, says ACEA, and concerns over whether they will find charging points in time.

In Spain, though, local councils and regional

governments are making concerted efforts to overcome these two obstacles, with a recent upsurge in the number of chargers fitted in public places, mostly shopping centres, industrial estates or high streets. And grants are available for anyone opting to switch their petrol and diesel cars for electric.

In the Valencia region, the public-sector business institute IVACE is offering grants to town halls, individuals, companies and freehold communities for up to 40% of the cost of fitting electric car chargers, as well up to €5,500 per vehicle for those seeking these cleaner versions.

Mate’s ‘noisy’ complaint led to his untimely death

AN alleged murderer was arrested after his room-mate’s body was found in a pool of blood in Marbella, last Sunday morning.

The eastern European was picked up in a bar in San Pedro de Alcantara, after police were called to the scene of a stabbing between homeless people on Calle Santa Maria.

The unnamed man is believed to have stabbed the 45-yearold Latvian victim in an abandoned building they shared, along with several other homeless people.

According to reports, the victim had asked his mate to stop making a noise because everyone there wanted to sleep, following a night of heavy drinking.

The mate is then believed to have gone to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and stabbed his pal, as he lay on his mattress.

He fled on foot, but was soon found sitting in a bar by National Police agents. But paramedics could do nothing to save the victim because the blade cut deep into his heart.

Police, who later found a large blood-covered knife in some nearby bushes, believe tests will show it is the murder weapon.

Registered lawyer at the tenerife bar association

THE Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the European Union (European Court) has opened the door for judges to declare the mortgages referred to IRPH as abusive.

If so, clients can be compensated, and the European Court’s final decision would cover thousands of mortgage loans.

What is IRPH? It is one of the indexes (like Euribor) to which loans granted for the purchase of properties are referred. It is an official index, prepared monthly by the Bank of Spain, which is applicable, according to its publication in the Official Bulletin (BOE), as well as other indexes, such as the Euribor.

How is it calculated?

IRPH is calculated on an average of three-year loans, granted by banks and financial companies. It was created by a 1994 Ministry Order, and used widely between 2005 and 2009.

It coincided with the real-

The IRPH mortgage index may be considered abusive

estate boom, and was, seemingly, unstoppable.

Why is IRPH controversial?

When the financial breakdown blasted the real-estate market, the Euribor began to fall, but the IRPH remained stable. It meant that those who used it had to pay higher fees than others, who had variable loans, via the other index.

Today, the Euribor is at a historic, minimum level, while the IRPH remains high.

Consumer associations claimed that the entities did not explain the risks clearly enough, and that, consequently, the IRPH index could be declared abusive and revoked by courts.

The European Court should rule in this respect, following a consultation made by a Barcelona Court.

In 2017, the Spanish Supreme Court validated the clause, arguing that it was an official and easily-known index for “a normally informed, and reasonably attentive and perceptive client”.

The Supreme Court then ruled in favour of the banks

in a claim, issued by a client, that requested the nullity of the IRPH. The question now is whether this index matches the European transparency directives.

What should European Court clarify?

The European Court must clarify whether the IRPH is exempt from transparency control,

AROUND 90,000 firms in Spain have each received a letter from the Government, warning of the potential effects of a no-deal Brexit.

The country’s tax agency, known as the Hacienda, has recommended that the “atrisk” businesses take steps to adapt to the possibility of the UK leaving the EU without an agreement on 31st October.

The letter lists the new customs, tax and healthrelated requirements that companies must meet, to engage in cross-border trade.

Industries facing the biggest challenges will be those exporting agri-food and

and, also, how the mortgages would fare if the judgement were granted in favour of the client, which would lead to the IRPH being replaced by the Euribor.

In addition, will banks have to refund the overcharged money from the beginning of the loan, or from the date of the judgement?

This point would clearly affect the Spanish banking system, and the impact for banks could be up to 44,000 million euros in the most extreme case, which would also include operations already completed.

The report, by the Advocate General of the Court of Justice, is not binding. But in most cases, the judges’ decision usually follows the direction set by the said lawyer. An answer should be forthcoming in March-April next year.

Companies warned of no-deal Brexit effects animal products to the UK, The Tax Agency’s website as a result of new health and quality requirements, which could be imposed.

The letter warns: “The new formalities include filing a customs form for each consignment, going through customs controls, paying tariffs and other duties, and the need for health or other types of certificates.”

Medicines and other chemical products will also have to meet new standards, once the common EU framework no longer applies.

UK political drama inspires sterling volatility

By Carol schleisman at currencies direct

STAYING on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for, over the next couple of weeks.

The past couple of weeks saw a volatile pound react to a flurry of UK political news, with the GBP/EUR exchange rate trading between 1.09 and 1.11, and EUR/GBP retreating to 0.89. Meanwhile, GBP/USD climbed from 1.22 to 1.23, after striking a three-year low of 1.19, and EUR/USD slipped from 1.11 to 1.10.

The pound put on the most dramatic performance over the last couple of weeks,

initially slumping as Prime Minister Boris Johnson moved to prorogue parliament in September, then roaring back to life, as a series of blows derailed Johnson’s plans, and decreased the odds of a nodeal Brexit. Meanwhile, the

Euro struggled to find support, as an increasingly-gloomy outlook for the Eurozone economy limited the appeal of the single currency.

Finally, the US dollar faced a sell-off in September, with investors responding to

worrying data, which hinted at the prospect of a US recession.

UK political news will act as the main catalyst for pound movement, in the coming weeks, with recent events suggesting a general election

may now be inevitable.

Meanwhile, the euro should maintain a downside bias, as the European Central Bank looks set to announce a “substantial” stimulus package, this month.

For USD investors, the focus will be on the Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to deliver another rate cut this month, potentially exerting pressure on the US dollar.

The British Ambassador meets with representatives of UK Nationals during his first week in office The new British Ambassador to Spain and Andorra, Hugh Elliott, met last week with members of three of the groups representing UK nationals in Spain: Bremain in Spain, Brexpats Hear our Voice and EuroCitizens.

They discussed the issues affecting more than 300,000 British citizens who have made Spain their home.

HMA Hugh Elliott said: “Protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU is an absolute priority for the UK Government. That’s why it was so important for me to meet some of the groups that represent UK nationals during my first official week as British Ambassador to Spain. We have had frank conversations and I have learned a lot about what matters to our citizens living here, and how people feel.

I and my team will continue to work hard to address any outstanding issues.

“I welcome what Spain has done to protect UK nationals here, including through the Royal Decree. It is important that citizens take action to ensure that they can access the rights laid out

in that decree: registering for residency, checking that they are covered for healthcare, checking their passport is valid for travel, and exchanging their UK driving licence for a local one.”

Sue Wilson, Chair of Bremain in Spain said: “It was a pleasure to meet the Ambassador and his staff, and to discuss ongoing collaboration in the best interests of our members.

We are encouraged by the depth of understanding of the issues we face, and of the anxiety caused by the

ongoing political situation.

Clearly there is a willingness and determination to provide much-needed guidance and information, and I look forward to working together further to achieve those aims.”

Debbie Williams, Founder, Brexpats – Hear our Voice said: “I was delighted to meet Mr and Mrs Elliott, Mr Milen and the consular team.

The meeting was insightful, friendly, frank and open.

We discussed our ongoing concerns, and I look forward to further communications,

working together to help and support British Citizens living in Spain.”

Michael Harris, President of EuroCitizens said: “EuroCitizens members remain concerned about the reciprocity clauses in the no-deal contingency plans of the Spanish Royal Decree 5/2019: we emphasised to the Ambassador that the treatment of Spanish citizens in the UK could invalidate protection for UK citizens in Spain. We have presented a summary of the status of our rights in different Brexit scenarios, in-

cluding losses implied by third country national status, and look forward to hearing from the Ambassador on how the rights of British citizens in Spain will be safeguarded after Brexit.”

We urge all UK nationals living in Spain to ensure you are correctly registered, and to stay up to date with the latest news, by signing up for email alerts and visiting the Living in Spain guide on gov.uk and following our Brits in Spain Facebook channel.

A Confession

At a remote countryside location Steve Fulcher questions prime suspect Christopher Halliwell about the whereabouts of missing young woman, Sian O’Callaghan. He refuses Halliwell’s requests to take him immediately to a police station and tells him that he has a chance to do the right thing and tell him where Sian is, otherwise Halliwell and his family will be “vilified” in the press.

Halliwell indicates he wants to go somewhere and they get in Fulcher’s car along with Debs Peach who records everything. Halliwell directs the car and the following police convoy and helicopter to a remote country lane where he tells Fulcher he left Sian’s dead body in a ditch at the side of the road. Fulcher tells Tracey Joyce the news and asks her to stay and search for the body.

Fulcher tells Halliwell he will have him taken back to the station and arrested but Halliwell wants to talk somewhere privately. At nearby White Horse Hill Halliwell confesses to the murder of “another one” to Fulcher. A prostitute he strangled then buried in a field many years earlier. He leads the police to the exact spot identified by a dip in the stone wall bordering the field. Halliwelll is finally cautioned and arrested for the murder of two women. Fulcher is informed by Joyce that they have found Sian’s body.

The news of Sian’s death is given to Elaine and her family by a liason officer before Fulcher arrives to personally apologise and to tell them they have arrested Halliwell.

Fulcher returns to the police station to a round of applause but his deputy SIO Steve Kirby is concerned as Fulcher did not caution and take Halliwell to a police station for further questioning in the presence of a solicitor as soon as he learnt that Sian was dead.

Fulcher makes a televised statement regarding the arrest of a man for Sian’s muder and the murder of another, as yet, unidentified girl. Karen seeing the press conference is convinced that the other girl is her missing daughter Becky despite Charlie’s protestations. When she visits the police station to follow up the desk sergeant tells her that police believe the victim was murdered between 2003 and 2005. As family of John Godden, her ex-husband, have said they have seen Becky a couple of years ago this reassures Karen that Becky is still alive.

BBC2, 23.05

As a musical version of Matt Haig’s bestselling book Reasons To Stay Alive opens at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre, and as an exhibition of art exploring anxiety in contemporary culture opens at the Science Gallery at Kings College London, Mary and her panel examine how artists and writers are currently engaging with this very topical issue.

Are we more anxious than ever before, or is it just that we are more sensitive to issues around mental health?

The present generation has been criticised by some for spending too much time analysing their feelings, but this episode will investigate how feelings of anxiety have always had a significant impact in the arts. And can anxiety sometimes be useful? While anxiety often comes with negative connotations, it has also been the driving force behind groundbreaking works of art and a source of creative inspiration.

With Brexit on the horizon and the environment in the headlines, Mary and her panel discuss if these issues are responsible for a rise in collective anxiety.

Mary also visits writer Matt Haig at Sheffield Crucible Theatre, where rehearsals are underway for the stage adaptation of his novel Reasons To Stay Alive.

Rise of the Nazis BBC2, 21.00

The final episode of the series - the final act in Hitler’s rise to power - sees him take on opponents at the top of the government and within the heart of the Nazi regime.

Hitler has suspended democracy and is bringing all of Germany under Nazi control. But to gain absolute power and control of Germany’s military, Hitler must be named successor to the ageing President Hindenburg before he dies.

In order to convince Hindenberg to hand him the keys to ultimate power, Hitler must fight a decisive battle for the soul of the Nazi party. Ernst Röhm, leader of the Nazi Stormtroopers and Hitler’s close friend, wants to take control of Germany’s military for himself by launching a revolution against the old order to which Hindenberg belongs.

Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Göring join forces to take on Röhm.

Meanwhile a conservative radical called Edgar Jung challenges Hitler’s power by writing a speech that tells Germany the truth about the reality of its Nazi government.

These intrigues come together in a climax when Hitler takes down all these enemies at once in the Night Of The Long Knives.

Defending The Guilty BBC2, 22.00

Will Sharpe (Flowers), plays Will Packham - an idealistic pupil barrister being shown the ropes by his cynical, worldly-wise pupilmaster Caroline, played by Bafta Award-winner Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd, Humans).

In the opening episode of the series, Will and Caroline are defending an old lag of a murder suspect with overwhelming evidence against him. But what with Caroline being distracted by her failed silk application, they end up pleading innocent anyway.

Meanwhile, Will learns from his fellow pupils that he’s last in the running for the job at the end of the year and - worrying all his work has been for nothing - does something he’ll regret. Only a bit of smart thinking can partially save the day, and a piece of brutal cynicism goes a little further.

BBC1, 21.00

The Cameron Years With unprecedented access to David Cameron himself, and drawing on the testimony of leading allies and critics from his close team, party, and coalition partners, the Cameron Years charts David Cameron’s prime ministerial career, from his rise to power as a young leader and his time in office, to the legacy he has left.

Cameron led the first peacetime coalition government since the Second World War, before unexpectedly winning the General Election in 2015 to form a Conservative majority government. He then triggered the biggest political earthquake for decades by holding a referendum on the back of an election campaign promise.

Now, for the first time in this two-part documentary series, the former Prime Minister speaks candidly about his recollections and his time in power.

The first episode begins by examining how David Cameron went from riding high following his successful 2015 election campaign, to offering his own resignation to the British public on the steps of Downing Street just over a year later.

The film begins by exploring twin pressures on the PM to make his fateful commitment to a referendum in 2013: first, a growing Euroscepticism, both within the Conservative party and the nation at large, which was putting increasing strain on his leadership; and secondly, the impact of the Eurozone crisis, which set Britain on a collision course with European politicians intent on shoring up their fragile shared currency.

Cameron, against the advice of his friend and Chancellor George Osborne, his Chief Whip, and Coalition partners, became convinced that pledging a renegotiation and referendum was necessary to resolve the increasing instability of Britain’s place in Europe.

After leading his party to a surprise electoral victory in 2015 which saw him win an all-out Conservative majority, Cameron’s renegotiation faced huge challenges from the start.

Cameron struggled to persuade his two closest allies, Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, to support the case for remaining. Finally, the film examines his struggle to stay in control of a campaign riven by party in-fighting, ‘posttruth’ politics, and strategic challenges.

Firm banned from selling Schweppes tonic in Spain

THE Commercial Court Number 8 of Barcelona has prevented the Red Parallel company from importing Schweppes tonic from the UK, and distributing it in Spain.

The ban followed the judge’s ruling that Japanese firm Suntory was the only company with the right to sell Schweppes brand tonics in the country.

Barcelona-based Red Parallel had profited hugely from importing the tonic from the UK, and selling it in Spain at a lower price.

This lucrative business model saw the company shift 17.3m bottles, netting €5.9m in the process, between 2009 and 2014.

A Red Parallel spokesperson said: “The only thing we did was buy English Schweppes tonic from English wholesalers.

Therefore, merchandise was already in free circulation in the European Economic Area,” said the company following the ruling.

This sentence has also obligated Red Parallel to pay compensation to Suntory for damages amounting to

Mythical Mia’s rescue mission has backfired €293,480. Schweppes tonic was born in 1783 but was a late arrival to Spain, only entering the Iberian market in 1957.

The brand quickly became a market leader, with a 54.8% share, and experienced a strong increase in sales as the popularity of gin and tonic soared.

Suntory’s legal director María Rodríguez said: “The rights

of the Schweppes brand in Spain are not exhausted.

“The only Schweppes tonic that can be marketed in Spain is that manufactured

by Schweppes Suntory Spain, or another company of our same group.”

The legal dispute, which began in 2014, looks set to continue with an appeal expected to be launched with Spain’s Supreme Court.

A VEGAN activist, who claimed to have been shot at by farmers after stealing 16 of their rabbits, might actually have killed almost 100 of them.

“Mythical Mia” launched a rescue mission, attempting to save rabbits from a farm, before posting a video of herself on social media with a blood-stained face and legs.

She claimed that the pursuing farmers shot at her through a car window as she fled.

In a video, the Barcelona-

based activist told her 40,000 Instagram followers that she had saved 16 rabbits.

But according to Spanish daily newspaper La Vanguardia, 90 bunnies had to be put down because they were left without a mother.

Five of them were reported to have died during the raid, while others suffered broken spines.

On an Instagram post following the raid, Mia wrote: “Despite everything, I am just happy that those 16 lives are free from harm. They make everything worth it.”

Elephant stampede injures Sri Lankan pageant crowd

Low death rate, but it’s still nothing to celebrate

SPAIN’S road deaths fell to their lowestever total during the last two months, yet 220 people still died in traffic accidents.

Rampage: Chaos comes to a Buddhist pageant

MORE than a dozen festival-goers were injured after an elephant taking part in a Buddhist pageant in Sri Lanka went on a rampage.

The procession in Kotte, near the country’s capital, began with a government minister placing a sacred relic on a decorated casket, atop an elephant adorned with shiny red clothing.

But it turned disastrous, rapidly, when the elephant surged forward, sending some of the terrified worshipers straight into another of the

mighty animals, which then ran amok.

Shocking footage showed a man, riding on the elephant’s back, just avoid being trampled when he was shaken off as the huge animal headed straight into a crowd.

Officials from two hospitals said 18 injured people had been treated, following the stampede, including women and at least two children, but 16 people had been discharged.

Unfortunately, it is another elephant-related controversy for Sri Lanka, after photos emerged last month showing a starving 70-yearold female forced to don a

colourful costume to hide her emaciated body.

According to the Save Elephant Foundation, Tikiri was one of 60 elephants forced to work for 10 nights in a row at the Esala Perahera Buddhist festival in Kandy.

Foundation founder Lek Chailert said, in a heartfelt post on World Elephant Day: “No one sees her bony body, or her weakened condition, because of her costume.

“No one sees the tears in her eyes, injured by the bright lights that decorate her mask, and no one sees her difficulty in walking because her legs are shortshackled.”

Cover up: Starving Tikiri looks a picture of delight

Last month the number of fatalities was 101, making it the least deadly August since 1993.

The statistics were released

by Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska, during a review of the measures rolled out this summer to ensure road safety.

August’s low fatality figure is particularly relevant because that is when most travel takes place: 47.8 million people were on the road, according to the national traffic authority DGT. Even so, Grande-Marlaska warned of the need to keep raising awareness about the

dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The minister said that in 2018, many of the people who died in traffic accidents had high blood-alcohol concentrations.

“It’s not about having one drink too many,” he said. “Every single drink is one too many!”

This summer, traffic authorities rolled out 28 new radars and conducted 1.1m alcohol breath tests.

The most dangerous roadways continue to be the conventional two-lane roads, where 70% of lethal accidents (154) have taken place, even though the speed limit was reduced from 100km/h to 90km/h in January.

Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcycle riders remain the most vulnerable groups, representing four out of every 10 deaths in July and August.

Heartless mum sells twin babies to wipe out debts A CALLOUS mother sold her new-born twin babies for £7,400 to clear her creditcard bills, and buy a mobile phone.

The mum, in her twenties, sold the boys to two families, who lived more than 430 miles away from their eastern China hometown.

The twins, born prematurely last September, had to be kept in incubators after they were born. But they were sold when just two weeks old.

Their mother, known by her surname Ma, sold one boy for 45,000 yuan (£5,100) and the other for 20,000 yuan (£2,271), reports the Daily Mail.

She took the decision after her partner, known by his Wu surname, failed to appear at the hospital to help care for the babies, and his parents also refused to help.

After discovering she had sold the children, Wu asked if he could use some of the money to pay off his gambling debts, but was told it had already been spent.

Both babies have since been taken back from the families which bought them and are being looked after by their grandparents.

Cixi police, in Zhejiang Province, gave details of the case last Friday. According to the paper, they were tipped off about the case in July and formed two investigative teams to chase the boys, one in Anhui Province and the other in Shandong Province.

Ma and Wu have now been arrested, after the adoptive families agreed to hand back the children.

Child-trafficking carries a prison penalty of up to 10 years in China.

Animation fits the bill for Paul THE word entertainment conjures up so very much. It is made up of components, with different elements within the umbrella of our entertainment industry.

Great animation is, in our opinion, here at Keddy’s Entertainment, the “jewel in the crown”. It provides and delivers fun, enjoyment, escapism and lots of laughter, serving to create happy holiday memories.

The customer experience is paramount, in our view, and is what brings holiday makers returning to this wonderful island, every year.

Keddy’s Entertainment is pleased and proud to introduce and interview Paul Parker, one of our hotel animation staff, from the Keddy’s Entertainment animation team.

Paul is truly dedicated and passionate about his role, and describes how he gets huge job satisfaction from seeing people being happy, and simply enjoying themselves. He explains how he began his entertainment career.

“Entertainment is something I have grown up with my entire life. From my father singing around England, when I was a child, to doing variety shows as a toddler.

Entertainment always has been a big part of my life.

“I can remember when I first realised I enjoyed singing.

My father had a karaoke machine in our family home, and I remember sneaking down in the morning, and using it to practise singing.

“I remember the duo act he had, DonnaMike. I would tag along, and listen and dance like crazy.”

Paul and his family moved to Mallorca when he was 10. His parents opened Molly Ryan’s

Irish Bar, in Alcudia, and this is where his singing really kicked in, doing karaoke.

However, the entertainment fuse was really lit by the hotel just across the road from Paul.

He would sneak across and watch the evening shows.

“Eventually, they caught on that I wasn’t a guest, but just a young boy coming across the road to enjoy their entertainment, but they saw how much I loved and enjoyed it.

“Finally, they invited me to join in with their shows! So, from the age of 12, I was on stage maybe twice a week, doing the Lion King, Grease and other variety shows, playing different parts each time. And that was it! I was well and truly hooked!”

Paul and his family moved away from Mallorca when he was 15. “My father was doing his own gigs around Ireland.

I started off as his sound technician, and this led me to performing with him, doing one song together, and then another. I always looked up to my father.

Eventually, we started our own duo, Dapper Duo, and toured for about 11 years. It brought me a whole raft of different experiences. I have performed on television, and at major city events and concerts, singing with Wagner and Kitty Brucknell from the X Factor, as well as performing as the opening for the Brazilian Rapper, Aggro Santos.”

But it was beginning to take its toll on Paul, and he was becoming less enthusiastic, feeling as though he’d lost some of his drive.

He explains: “My true passion was calling me. I remembered the feeling I had when watching animation shows in Mallorca, and joining in with them. I knew that was what I wanted to do.”

Paul began his professional animation career in Palmanova, Mallorca.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. They reinforced the fact that animacion was where my heart was!

“Keddy’s Entertainment is the best company I could

ever wish to work for. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to do what I love.”

He did add that he isn’t just saying this, so his boss could read it and maybe give him a pay rise! “It’s a company that has the same passion about animation and entertaining people that I felt as a youngster.

“Animation is not just playing games and hosting shows.

It’s the passion I have to want to make people smile, helping them to enjoy their holiday and create new memories. It’s so much more than just a job for me. This is an opportunity of getting to know people, and hearing their stories.

“It’s something that I feel I can do, hopefully giving people a chance to escape from any worries, and take away stress from their everyday lives, even if it’s just for a week.

“That is when I feel like I have done my job. I want to give people the feeling I had when I was on holiday; enjoyment, making new

friends and coming together, no matter where you’re from, or who you are.

“This job has made me the person I am today. I want to thank, not only Keddy’s Entertainment, but also my wonderful partner, Emily, who has supported and encouraged me every step of the way. She is my rock.

Animation is my life now. This is just the beginning.”

Paul’s passion, drive, determination and customer-care commitment really shone throughout this interview. We, at Keddy’s Entertainment, believe that all our employees work with us as a team, and not for us.

We always welcome any likeminded individuals to apply to join us. Opportunities are always opening.

Until next time, be sure to take care and simply enjoy yourselves! To find out how you can join us, and become part of our ever-growing hotel team, find us on Facebook @ keddysentertainmentpage, or visit our website keddysentertainment.com

Horses benefit to Another sad tale the tune of €1,000 THESE two gorgeous boys were collected by Protection Civil, from the streets in Guia de Isora. It’s the same old story; they were abandoned and left in the street with no microchips, which is a legal requirement in Tenerife.

TEAM Horse Holidays are super happy to reveal that the grand total of €1,000 was raised from their recent fundraiser at the Terrace Bar, in Amarilla Golf. This money will go towards the upkeep of the horses in their care.

Big thanks must go to Jakki Hooper, for organising much of the day, the stall holders, Andy and his team at the bar, all the entertainers who took part, including Mel Faulkner, Stacey Tippet, Radostina, the Tenor Girls,

Tenerife Dance Shows (plus others), the volunteers, and, of course, everyone who attended.

The kids loved meeting some of the smaller animals, and having their faces painted. The adults mooched around the stalls and had a beer in the sun, all the while being entertained.

Horse Holidays are planning another day, at the same venue, close to Christmas, so look out for that, later in the year!

They are very thin and need their injections, microchips and passports.

But after the legal, 21 waiting days, they will be looking for a new, loving home. We will ensure that they have a clean bill of health, before we put them up for adoption.

Assistance required We are always looking for people to walk the dogs in the refuge during opening hours.

Please do call the refuge on 664 321 219 or 602 463 242, between 8am5pm, if you can help in any way. We always need tinned dog-food for our older animals, plus blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys, collars and leads.

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

Little Titch

THIS sweet girl was found in Charco del Pino, roaming the streets, and limping on three legs.

She has an injured front leg, but is now safe in the refuge, receiving treatment. So far, we have had no response to our plea for her owner to come forward. If nobody claims her, Titch will be up for rehoming, as soon as her injury heals. Could you be Titch’s new family?

Good news!

Lucas, a beautiful pointer, who was featured recently in the Canarian Weekly, has been offered a home in Scotland. What a lucky boy!

Stick celery on the shopping list AT just 10 calories a stalk, celery’s claim to fame may be that it’s long been considered a low-calorie “diet food”.

But crispy, crunchy celery actually has a number of health benefits that may surprise you. Here are five reasons you should consider adding celery to your diet.

Important source of antioxidants Anti-oxidants protect cells, blood vessels and organs from oxidative damage. Celery contains Vitamin C, beta carotene and flavonoids, but there are at least 12 additional kinds of anti-oxidant nutrients, found in a single stalk.

It’s also a wonderful source of phytonutrients, which have been shown to reduce instances of inflammation in the digestive tract, cells, blood vessels and organs.

Reduces inflammation Chronic inflammation has been linked to many illnesses, including arthritis and osteoporosis. Celery and celery seeds have approximately 25

anti-inflammatory compounds, which can offer protection against inflammation in the body.

Supports digestion While its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients offer protection to the entire digestive tract, celery may offer special benefits to the stomach.

It has a high water content, almost 95%, plus generous amounts of soluble and insoluble fibre. All of those support a healthy digestive tract, and keep you regular.

minerals like potassium and folate, are present in celery.

It’s also low in sodium. Plus, it’s low on the glycaemic index, meaning it has a slow, steady effect on your blood sugar.

Buying and storing celery *Sturdy stalks: look for celery that has sturdy, upright stalks.

They should snap easily when you pull them, not bend *Crisp leaves: leaves should be crisp and fresh, ranging in colour from pale to bright green. Avoid celery with yellow or brown patches *Wait to chop: chop celery just before cooking or serving to maintain nutrients.

Even celery that has been chopped and stored for just a few hours will lose nutrients *Steam it: steamed celery will retain its flavour and almost all of its nutrients *Eat within 5-7 days: eat fresh celery within 5-7 days, to enjoy its maximum nutritional benefits *Eat the leaves: don’t discard the leaves, because that’s where celery has the most calcium, potassium and Vitamin C. Because they don’t store well, consume celery leaves within a day or two of purchase.

By Val Sainsbury TEENAGERS today are more likely to suffer from depression, and engage in self-harm, compared with those 10 years ago.

It is believed that social media has an influence on the perception of self and body image of the “Generation Z”, or post-millennials.

Most of Generation Z have used the internet since a young age, and are comfortable with technology and social media.

Researchers compared the behaviour of children born 10 years apart (those born in 1991 and 1992, and those born in 2000 and 2001). They also took note of personal characteristics like sex, ethnicity and class background.

They found that only 9% of people born in the Nineties suffered from depression in their teenage years, against 15% for those born in the “social-media generation”.

They also found that the younger group was more likely to engage in

www.canarianweekly.com 13th - 19th September 2019

Today’s teens not happy on the net! self-harm, than the older group.

Children born in the Nineties usually had a full night’s sleep during week nights. This was not observed in the younger generation. The researchers attributed poor sleep to increased smartphone and social-media use, which have been linked to symptoms of depression.

The younger generation also has a higher tendency to Photoshop images, or apply photo filters, in an effort to achieve “perfection”.

In effect, more and more teenagers suffer from low selfesteem, driven by concerns with self-image and body image.

The increasing trends of poor sleep, obesity and negative body image might help explain rising mental-health difficulties experienced by young people. Striking increases in mental-health difficulties, BMI [body mass index] and poor, sleeprelated behaviours, highlight an increasing public-health challenge.

Identifying explanations for these high prevalences and changing trends are key for preventing further poor physical and mental health, for future generations of young people.

But the researchers observed that certain behaviours, that were prevalent during the Nineties, were not as common in the younger generation. The number of children who punched or kicked someone at the age of 14 has decreased from 40% to 28%. Vandalism offences also decreased from 6% to 2%.

Alcohol use has also decreased. At the age of

14, approximately half of the teenagers of the older generation had already tried alcohol. However, this number has dropped to 44%.

The same trend was observed with cigarette use. Only 1% of the post-millennials had experienced smoking at the age of 14, compared with 7% of the children from the Nineties.

In previous studies, substance use and antisocial behaviour have been linked to poor mental health. However, researchers noted that while trends show that there is a decrease in these behaviours, it does not necessarily correlate with

improved mental health.

“Understanding the nature of these associations, and their dynamic nature, over time, could be valuable in identifying what the risk factors are for mental-health problems, and might help us find potential targets for interventions,” said the researchers.

Studies show that negative thinking is highly related to low self-esteem. Moreover, depression can cloud judgment and the ability to make sound decisions.

Keeping negative thoughts to yourself can only make them worse. Writing thoughts and feelings down in a journal can be a cathartic experience. It will also help you remember all the good things that are present in your life.

Surround yourself with people who see the good in you, and will not judge you for your weaknesses.

These people will not only help you to be a stronger person, but will also solidify the positive perception of yourself.

CD Tenerife THE Canarian derby, which ended ended goalless last Saturday, had plenty of drama, especially in the last minute when referee Díaz de Mera awarded a penalty for Aitor Sanz’s foul on Rubén Castro. But VAR ruled it out for a previous offside by Pekhart.

It was the culmination of an intense match, with local domination in the first half by Tenerife, and a strong reaction from the yellows after the break, when Las Palmas coach Pepe Mel gave Pedri a free-roaming role in the centre of the pitch.

The first half was all blueand-white, although it started with chances for both teams: Cedrés for Las Palmas in the fourth minute, followed by Tenerife’s Suso a minute later. And it was all CDT from then on.

The home side, led by Milla, had depth on the right, although Luis Pérez did not capitalise on his crosses, and the danger came to no avail, after he failed to find Carlos Ruiz or Malbasic.

45 CW

Ten-man Tenerife hold on CD Tenerife 0 UD Las Palmas 0

In fact, the best chance fell to Las Palmas in the 40th minute, with a good Lemos shot which went close.

A change of formation in the second half ignited Las Palmas, who did everything but score. Pedri dominated in the centre of midfield, and a foul on him had Luis Milla seeing red.

It was the first time the Madrid player had been sent off in his career, but it was justice after a bad tackle from behind on the 16-year-old, who was born in Tegueste!

Tenerife struggled for the next 20 minutes, until the penalty incident and the final whistle. To be fair, a draw left no one satisfied: Tenerife,

because a point in a local derby is no consolation, and Las Palmas, because they squandered a promising chance to break an 18-year streak without a win at the Heliodoro.

Since the end of the game, Milla has been the subject of massive abuse from Las Palmas fans on social me-

dia. He has been chastised for the challenge on Pedri, which, they claim, could have ended the teenager’s career before it has properly started.

Milla has apologised to everyone, publicly, and Tenerife can now move on to their next fixture, at Albacete on Sunday morning.

Tennis

Tough-guy Rafa shows his grit to take five-set classic RAFAEL Nadal held off Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in a fiveset classic to win the US Open, moving just one position from Roger Federer’s 20 Grand Slams.

The 33-year-old Spaniard, ranked among the top three performers for years, beat dark horse Medvedev 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, in front of a 24,000 crowd, who were buzzing throughout the epic clash, at New York’s Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Second seed Rafa was two sets up, before his 23-yearold opponent staged a remarkable comeback to force a decider, but streetfighter Nadal clung on.

The match lasted four hours and 50 minutes, just four minutes shorter than the longest-ever US Open final.

“It was the most emotional

night in my tennis career,” said Nadal. “The nerves were so high; it was a crazy match.”

The Spaniard also paid tribute to his opponent, saying: “Medvedev’s summer is one of the best in the sport since

I started playing. The way he was able to fight was just incredible.”

First-time Slam finalist

Medvedev said: “Unbelievable, outrageous, Rafa winning his 19th slam title. It’s amazing for our sport what you’ve done. I fought for every point, but, unfortunately, it didn’t go my way.”

Nadal, who also won his 12th French Open title this year, is now just one Grand Slam win away from veteran Swiss rival Federer, now aged 38.

The all-time men’s slam titles list now reads: Federer 20, Nadal 19, Novak Djokovic 16, Pete Sampras 14, Roy Emerson 12.

Pas O Nadas in right Place PAS O NADAS A maintained their winning streak when they visited Our Place Playboys, coming through 6-2 after some tough games.

The Pub, who welcomed Scooters and Chevys A, triumphed 7-1, but some games went down to the wire, literally.

Emerald B took on Sandys Bandits, for whom Paddy hit a lovely 180, but it wasn’t enough to stop the home side, who came through 5-3.

Ronnie, clearly in good scoring form for Emerald B, managed to bust 122, in two consecutive throws, hitting four treble 20s in six darts, as he did so.

Sandys Bookie Boys, who had to wait until the team game to see off the challenge of the valiant Mad Hatters team, were victorious by the slimmest 5-3 margin, courtesy of the trebles.

The remaining Division One matches were postponed, for various reasons, but in Division 2, Clouseau’s played host to league leaders

Pink Elephant, and the visitors played some excellent darts, to emerge 7-1 winners. The Emerald Lounge also won, by the same scoreline at Pas O Nadas.

In a match where every game went close, it was no surprise that Scooters and Chevys B, against Palms Sports Bar, finished 4-4, the home side winning the 701 game, to make honours even.

Best finish of the night went to Dave, who checked out 16, double 16, double 16. Nicely done!

Marilyns played their best darts of the season, when welcoming The Club House. But, despite Paul’s 180, the visitors won 5-3.

Ourplace Breakaways found the opposition difficult, as visiting Naughty Nautas pushed them all the way.

But the Breakaways persisted, and took the last game for a 5-3 win. Similarly, Picasso’s took the final game for the same scoreline, and a win.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing

Semenya gets her World gold, but doubts remain CONTENTIOUS South African athlete Caster Semenya is finally getting her gold medal from the 2011 World Championships, because Russian runner Maria Savinova has been stripped of the title for doping.

Semenya was barred from defending her latest 800-metre world title in Doha. That’s because she refused to follow new IAAF rules, requiring her to reduce her natural testosterone level medically, to enable her to compete in certain races, including her favourite event.

Instead, Athletics South Africa will receive the medal from the world track body on Semenya’s behalf in Doha. Officials will then decide on an appropriate event to hand the medal to Semenya in South Africa.

The medal reallocation is taking

place because in 2017, the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Savinova’s doping ban, nullifying her results from 2010 to 2013.

She was also stripped of her 2012 Olympic gold in the 800 metres, which means the title has also been awarded to Semenya, who also finished second in that race.

The South African, who has two Olympic and three world titles in the 800m, has, since July, not been allowed to compete at top-level track meetings in distances from 400m to one mile because she has refused to take hormone-suppressing medication, in line with IAAF rules, introduced last year.

Semenya has challenged the rules twice in court. She lost at the Court of Arbitration for Sport this year,

while her second legal appeal is still being considered by the Swiss supreme court.

She is one of several elite female athletes with the differences of a sex-development condition, which results in male and female biological characteristics.

She was legally identified as female at birth, and has identified as female her whole life. But she was born with the typical male XY chromosome pattern and has testosterone levels higher than the typical female range.

The IAAF says testosterone gives her an unfair athletic advantage over other female runners, and says she must reduce it if she wants to run at the Olympics, World Championships and Diamond League meetings.

Watch this week’s major sporting events at the following venues:

of one of the league’s young stars, JB (“Johnny Boy Bizzle”), who had played at the top level in the league for some years, and was always known for his smile and sense of humour, which affected everyone he came into contact with, whether at darts or anywhere else.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends, because this devastating news hits all who knew him.
