IS THIS TIMING RIGHT?

SPAIN is considering moving time-zones to fall into line with the UK, Portugal and Morocco.

This would be a radical shake-up of the country’s traditional way of life and siesta mentality.

Some experts say the Spanish live in a permanent state of “jet lag” and that the siesta and late working play havoc with family life.

And that is why the country’s productivity is so low!

Spain’s current time status - one hour ahead of the UK and Tenerife - was adopted back in 1942 when General Franco moved the clocks forward to coincide with Central European Time (CET, or CEST in summer) so that Spain and Germany were on the same time-zone.

What this means geographically is that because of Spain’s geographical position, when the sun is at its most central position there, it is 1pm - or 2pm in the summer.

It also means that eating in Spain is somewhat of a late affair, unlike the rest of Europe.

If mainland Spain and the Balearic islands were to move to GMT - the same time-zone as the Canary Islands, also part of Spain, plus nearest neighbours Portugal and Morocco and also the UK - Spanish body clocks would return to more streamlined hours, without

the late evening meals, and shops and offices closing at 8.30pm.

And while doctors constantly warn of the dangers of the midday sun, people in Spain should, in fact, avoid the afternoon sun!

Also, there is a consideration to restructure working hours and, thus, scrapping the siesta.

A report claims that employed residents in Spain are always rushing around in their limited free time to catch shops and businesses; that they struggle to find time to care for their children.

Statistics show that

people in Spain, particularly the workforce and those with children, sleep an average of 53 minutes a night less than their European counterparts.

The standard working week is 40 hours, split over eight-hour daily shifts which actually cover a total of up to 12 hours.

And that is something the Spanish Government - and many large companies - consider responsible for poor performance, lack of concentration, employee stress and absenteeism.

Canary Islands President Paulino Rivero

has said on his personal blog that the Canaries should have a say in this decision.

Spanish media - es-

pecially television - always promotes the fact that there is a onehour time difference between the Canaries

and the mainland, so if the time zone were synchronised, this free publicity, as it were, would be lost.

This may seem trivial, yet it keeps the archipelago at the forefront of people’s minds, “every hour, every day, every year”, as Rivero says.

He adds that perhaps the Canaries should think of readjusting its time zone, but this would need a rigorous study, so that we would remain unique.

Rivero also takes the opportunity to have a dig at the Spanish Government by saying that if Spain wishes to match the current time-zone of the Canaries, why is it then not an opportunity to synchronise other important matters?

He concludes: “I can not resist pointing out that, for that to match, why not equate the Canary Islands with the rest of the state (Spain) in matters as essential as regional funding, the distribution of the deficit, aid for essential services and employment?”

Budget’s frozen offerings PUBLIC sector wages will again be frozen next year as part of the Spanish Government’s state budget proposals, according to union sources.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy hinted strongly in the Senate on Tuesday that Spain’s

2.8 million public workers will see their salaries remain at a standstill for the fourth year in a row. The Socialist government of previous Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero cut their wages by 5% in 2010.

The public sector

workforce was also deprived of its Christmas bonus last year, but Rajoy said the economy had improved sufficiently for that not to be the case again.

The freeze in wages next year will also be applied to regional governments.

Train safety, at a price

THE train crash which left 79 passengers dead near Santiago de Compostela on 24th July has had a direct affect on the national budget.

The Public Works Ministry’s allocation for 2014 shows a major increase in money for safety measures for Adif and Renfe, the state-owned railway track and train operators, respectively.

It was 15 million euros for this year, but the 2014 budget shows an estimated 110 million euros.

News In Brief App system’s ticket to ride

METROPOLITANO de Tenerife, the company that manages the Santa Cruz tram system, has implemented a new system that lets travellers buy tickets using a mobile phone.

A group of 170 people this week began testing out the new application, called Tranvinauta.

The system will remain on trial for between four to eight weeks, to detect any potential problems.

If feedback is positive, the system will be adopted for all, according to Andrés Muñoz, Metropolitan’s managing director.

Muñoz said the only requirement was to have a smartphone or an iPhone to download the necessary application.

Hikers’ helicopter rescue

THE Canaries’ Helicopter Emergency and Rescue Group (GES) descended on two hikers who were lost in Las Canadas del Teide on Sunday afternoon.

An initial ground search failed to find them, so the helicopter was scrambled and it located and rescued the two unharmed hikers in the Pico Viejo area. They were moved to a safe area.

Wallet full of surprises

IT was a normal, brown, leather wallet, pretty much like any other that arrived at the office of maintenance chief José Manuel del Cura.

It was either lost or stolen and then discarded on the Madrid Metro system. Or was it?

Inside the wallet, said Del Cura, was a “Californian driver’s licence, several credit cards … and a cheque made out to the same person for two million dollars!”

“You should have seen our faces,” he said.

“We had to count the zeros several times. We couldn’t believe that someone has so much money and others so little. The world is full of inequality.”

The discovery was made late last week when a subway car was taken out of circulation for maintenance because the doors refused to close.

A mechanic found the wallet stuffed into a small gap between the door and the pinion.

“It is the favourite place for pickpockets to leave stolen wallets,” said Del Cura.

“I can’t remember the man’s name but he was from California, 49 years old with some gray hairs. He’s a lucky guy.”

The wallet and cheque are in the hands of the police, who are trying to locate the US citizen.

Canaries see jobless total going down The number of unemployed registered at the offices of the Canarian Employment Service decreased by 2,009 persons in September (0.70%) with the total figure standing at 284,072.

Security on Wednesday.

Overall National unemployment rose by 25,572, up 0.54% compared to August, registering its best figure in September since 2007.

However, this is the first month that National unemployment has risen in six months, but can be borne out by the fact that the summer season has now come to an end.

By provinces, unemployment fell by 1.01% in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (1,352 people) a total

of 132,674, while in Las Palmas, the decrease was -0.43% a total of 151,398 unemployed.

By gender, unemployment affects 139,658 men and 144 414 women, and by age group, a total of 21,326 under 25 are unemployed.

There is no change to the sectors that are fairing the worst with the most affected being the service industry, with 202,829 unemployed, followed by construction (45,147), industry (13,137) and agriculture (5,457).

As for foreigners registered unemployed there are 21,605 people, mainly in services (16,389), followed by construction (2,733), industry (628) and agriculture (531).

Furthermore, in the Canary Islands were signed in September by 53,045 contracts total , representing an increase of 5.87% from the previous month (2941).

Of these, 47,727 were temporary, and 5,318, indefinite, of which 2,061 were made ​​through conversion.

For this production they are looking for a girl to play the role of Eponine, and they will be auditioning girls between the ages of 6 and 9 years of age who can sing and act.

The audition will be on the 11th November at the Auditorio de Tenerife “ Adán Martín ‘.

Canaries rebel against hospital drug charges THE Canary Islands are among several regional governments in Spain rebelling against a controversial new law.

It forces chronicallyill patients to pay for hospital medication and came into force on Tuesday. But the majority of the local authorities are refusing to act on it.

People with serious illnesses such as cancer, hepatitis and HIV – and other ongoing conditions, like psoriasis or infertility - are expected to pay 10% of the cost, which is restricted to 4.20 euros per individual prescription box or packet.

It will not affect outpatient medication such as chemotherapy, but injections and other

drugs provided by the hospital will have to be funded by the patient.

Although 4.20 euros seems a trifling sum, patients who need to buy several boxes weekly will be forced to spend

4th October - 10th October 2013

large amounts. It also means that those with little or no income may choose to halt their treatment for financial reasons.

As well as the Canaries, eight other autonomous

regions – the Balearic Islands, Andalucía, Catalunya, the Basque Country, Asturias, Murcia, Navarra and Aragón – have refused to charge patients for hospitaldispensed medication.

They categorically disagree with the extra burden on those suffering and have refused to apply the law under any circumstances.

Most say they do not have the infrastructure and that the costs of changing their systems to administer collection of payment and keeping records will be more than the money saved by the patients’ contributions.

Yet the regional governments of La Rioja and Madrid believe the new charges are “only fair”. Madrid officials, in particular, say that if it is the law, it must be complied with - and no arguments!.

Valencia, Galicia, Cantabria, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha and Castilla y León have also said they will apply the charges because they consider State

laws must be obeyed.

The move will affect 42 types of medication under 157 brand names, but the exact number of patients affected has not yet been calculated.

Opposition members in Parliament, particularly the Socialists, have called the decision “cruel, barbaric and unjust”, accusing Health Minister Ana Mato of “forcing financiallystrapped patients to pay money they cannot afford to stay alive”.

However, the Government says it makes sense to charge a small percentage for these drugs given that all patients – now including pensioners and those on long-term sickness benefits – would have to pay for these if they were prescribed and dispensed from highstreet pharmacies.

Try catching a shooting star…

THOSE who are interested in all things astronomical will know that the Canaries is a brilliant place to view the midnight sky and its constellations.

The next ‘shower’ we’re expecting is the Draconids, the constellation known as Draco the Dragon. And it will be spitting out meteors, or, as we know them, shooting stars.

The best night to view them is likely to be just after sunset on Monday (7th Oct). They should also be visible the following evening.

The light from the moon should not affect it as it's is small at the moment. Look towards the south-west sky and you will see the moon in between Venus and Saturn. This meteor shower is different from others because it will be seen best in the early evening. Normally it’s the other way around

and meteor showers, such as Perseids, are best after midnight.

Michel Giacobini discovered this comet on 20th December 1900.

Another sighting in 1913 added the name Zinner to that of the comet, which thus became 21P GiacobiniZinner.

It is a periodic comet, which returns every six years and four months.

Tracking this comet, and noting this October meteor shower, helped astronomers figure out how to predict meteor showers in 1915.

The great Draconid/ Giacobinid meteor storms occurred in 1933 and 1946. The comet returned in 1998 as well, and the Draconids picked up that year, but only at a rate of about 100 per hour.

Then, in 2011, observers in Europe saw over 600 Draconid meteors per hour.”

3m airline seats just faded away The President of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, has demanded a review of transport policy in Spain after the Canary islands have lost 3 million airline seats with the mainland since 2008, representing a decrease of 33%.

This was stated by the regional leader in a post on his personal blog, which stated that the obligation of the Executive is to demand this is reviewed, “especially when one of the basic objectives of the region is the economic diversification of the islands through its outreach.”

The Canaries he said

has lost a third of its connectivity with the mainland, a setback that is a worrying step backwards.

He explained that despite the complaints voiced in recent years to the State Government

it continues to fall on deaf ears.

“Not only are we less likely to travel. When we do, it costs a lot more money,” he added.

The weakening of connectivity is causing enormous damage to

the competitiveness of the Islands’ economy, and the economy of the workers and families.

He said that air transport plays a key role in any economy, in any society.

“We want to be a logistics platform in the Mid-Atlantic, and become the spearhead of investments by European and American countries in Africa. We have the best conditions for it, but we need to improve connectivity with our environment, “he added.

The President said that now that the Ministry of Development seems to be working on a plan for logistics it will become the next economic engine of Spain, the Canaries has claimed its strategic geographical position as the key factor for having a role in this new approach.

Every week we propose a photographic theme or challenge, and entrants would submit their photos.

Loro Parque’s rare rays LORO PARQUE is celebrating the arrival of two spotted eagle rays donated by the Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem, Holland.

The animals were flown in from Amsterdam airport and were quickly introduced the park’s huge aquarium, which contains more than 1,200,000 litres of sea water, coming directly from the Atlantic, and is overseen by Xoan Domínguez, conservator for fishes and invertebrates and head of the aquarium team.

These eagle rays are seldom seen because of their conservation status and their lack of population throughout Europe.

They are found in few aquariums in Europe, among them the Burgers’ Zoo and now Loro Parque, which adds to the successful conservation activities carried out there.

The population of

this species drastically decreased in the last century, and they are threatened because of the general over-fishing.

Loro Parque now has a pair of male and female spotted eagle rays

4th October - 10th October 2013

with different ancestors and, therefore, different genes.

This is of major importance for a successful breeding programme, and for studies of this unique species, which

can be realised only with the help of institutions such as Loro Parque.

The Tenerife attraction and the Burgers’ Zoo have collaborated for many years, carrying out research and con-

servation activities for different species.

These include the spotted eagle ray and the zebra shark, as well as further different species of soft corals and stony corals.

This species has a flat body with the form of a diamond and is used to spending several hours buried in the sandy substrate.

They are notable for the poisonous sting at the top of the tail, with which they defend themselves against attackers.

The rays’ most popular food includes molluscs in large amounts, steamed mussels, steamed clams, bamboo clams, and also oily fish, squids and prawns.

Xoan Domínguez said: “A delicious and balanced meal is responsible for the well-being of these animals.”

Loro Parque, originally designed as a paradise for parrots, has developed over the years into a real refuge and home for numerous important species.

For this reason, it was chosen by the Burgers’ Zoo to take care of these vulnerable animals, who will receive all the care required for their wellbeing.

Spain are in partnership with Japan

At a Spanish-Japanese business meeting in Tokyo, the President of the Government said that Spain “is a perfect destination for international investors” because of its competitive advantages, the level of training to be found among its human resources, modern infrastructure and sound legal framework.

At the opening ceremony of the business forum entitled “JapanSpain: global partners for business and investment” , the President of the Government highlighted that the objective of this meeting is “to show the economic and business reality of Spain to Japanese companies and their executives, and thus foster new opportunities for business and mutual collaboration”.

Mariano Rajoy believes that the Spain-Japan Dual Year, which commemorates the 400th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between the two countries, is a great opportunity to further develop and strengthen economic relations.

Trade relations between Spain and Japan are growing in strength and have exceeded 5 bil-

lion euros per year over the last two years. However, Mariano Rajoy believes this figure does not fully represent the size of “our economies, the third and eighteenth largest in the world, meaning there is still potential for further development”.

From an investment point of view, Spanish companies are increasingly more interested in the Japanese market.

Over 40 Spanish companies already have operations in the country in sectors ranging from fashion to automobile components and financial services, said the President of the Government. In turn, he added, there are more than 145 Japanese companies with operations in Spain that generate more than 26,000 jobs in the country. Mariano Rajoy believes that the presence of Japanese companies in Spain will continue to increase over the coming years because Spain “not only offers numerous competitive advantages already but is also undergoing a reform process that is enhancing its competitiveness and converting Spain into a perfect destination for international investors”.

The President of the

Government went on to add that Spain is fourth in Europe in terms of people with higher university training in science or technology, it has a modern infrastructure and a sound legal framework.

The President of the Government stressed that when an international investor sets up business in Spain, not only is accessing a market of almost 50 million consumers with a high per capita income but is also accessing the EU market, which “is the largest market in the world with over 500 million inhabitants, a single market with free movement of goods, services, capital and people, and a stable and cohesive market”.

Furthermore, the internationalisation of Spanish companies means that Spain today is also a “privileged gateway” to the Mediterranean region, North Africa and Latin America.

For these reasons, Mariano Rajoy emphasised that “Spain is the perfect location for Japanese companies wishing to commercialise their products and services in these geographic regions”.

New McDonald’s at Los Rodeos McDonald’s is to open a restaurant near the north airport of Los Rodeos. The new food facility will open in April next year.

This will be its second branch in the area. The new fast food venue will be a boost for job creation in the area, and will feature a team of 50 people, all new recruits. It will be located opposite the airport of Los Rodeos, next to the highway, its design and the services offered will be very similar to that of

Las Caletillas. This will be the 32nd McDonald’s in the Canaries.

Ramon Fariña, is the franchisee of the new location, this is his tenth McDonald’s restaurant in Tenerife that he manages; in total employing over 500 staff.

The opening of the local Los Rodeos is part of the expansion plan of the company in Spain planned for the period 2012-2014, which aims to open more than 60 restaurants, so it will invest around 160 million euros, which should generate more than 3,000 new jobs.

4th October - 10th October 2013

Fariña confirmed yesterday that the company has handled all the permits to start construction. The facility will have two floors and will respect the architecture, design, decoration and services characteristic of the chain.

Last month, McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in La Palma with a total capacity for 160 customers, who are served by a team of 35 employees. It also has McAuto 24 hours on weekends and holidays, free WiFi for customers, birthday service and a playground, among other services.

offered here in Tenerife via the internet, stating that he worked on advertising campaigns for cosmetic brands; he asked his victims as a basic requirement for employment to submit photographs in lingerie

or nude shots, he later used these to blackmail the victims.

The victims, women aged between 17 and 23 years, contacted the alleged photographer through email answering a request for professional

models, including their photographs.

Once the photographs were received he then began to threaten to post them on social network sites if the victim did not agree to have sex.

Migrants drowned as blazing boat capsizes DISASTER struck at sea yesterday (Thursday) when at least 100 migrants were killed and scores were missing after a boat caught fire and capsized near a Sicilian island.

Two young children and a pregnant woman were among the dead, but at least 151 people were pulled from the water off Lampedusa, an Italian island lying between Tunisia and Sicily.

Emergency workers and local fishermen battled to rescue more survivors, and the local coastguard told Sky News that there were some 400-500 passengers aboard, all believed to be Eritreans coming from Libya.

Bodies were being laid out on the waterfront, and officials said there were many more in the water. They were eventually taken to an airport hangar because there were so many.

Pietro Bartolo, a doctor at Lampedusa hospital, said: “Unfortunately, we

Page 12

don’t need ambulances but hearses. In terms of its magnitude, it’s an unprecedented tragedy.

In many years of work, I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”

Lampedusa Mayor Giusi Nicolini said some of the survivors told her they lit a small fire on their boat around halfa-mile from the shore to attract attention after their vessel suffered engine failure.

But the fire then spread, causing panic on board and forcing the boat to flip over. “Its horrific, like a cemetery,” said Ms Nicolini. “They are still bringing them

out.”

Pope Francis visited Lampedusa in July, on his first trip outside Rome, to draw attention to the plight of refugees.

He said of this disaster: “The word disgrace comes to mind - it is a disgrace,” A young Tunisian man, believed to be a crew member, was detained by police.

Lampedusa, closer to Africa than it is to the Italian mainland, is the main port of entry into Europe for African migrants, smuggled by boat from Libya or Tunisia.

Each year, thousands

of people make the perilous journey across the Mediterranean, often in overcrowded vessels.

There has been an increase in the incidents off Italy in recent weeks amid an upsurge in arrivals - mainly from Eritrea, Somalia, Egypt and Syria.

On Monday, 13 Eritrean migrants drowned as they tried to swim ashore when their boat ran aground off Sicily, near the city of Ragusa.

In a similar incident near Catania, in another part of Sicily in August, six young Egyptian men drowned trying to reach the shore.

14 million shoppers get thrifty as cost of living bites

New Which? research reveals consumers say they are increasing efforts to waste less food by cooking with leftovers, making smaller portions and freezing more to save money.

Rising food prices are consistently one of consumers top financial concerns, and now new Which? research reveals around 14 million people say they are reducing food waste due to financial reasons.

The cost of food has rocketed over the past six years with prices rising around 12% over and above general inflation yet incomes are stagnating. Eight in 10 of us (78%) are worried about rising food prices with nearly half (45%) saying they’re spending a larger proportion of their income on food compared to 12 months ago.

In the past 12 months, nearly half of shoppers said they freeze food (47%) or cook with leftovers (47%) to avoid

waste. The survey also found that two in five (39%) said they are cooking smaller portions, so there is less chance of meals going in the bin.

They found that consumers are changing their shopping habits in an effort to reduce food waste, with a third (35%) saying they are buying less food and a quarter (26%) doing more frequent top-up shops rather than one main food shop. Separately, their monthly consumer insight tracker shows there has been a significant increase over the last year in the number of people dipping into their savings to pay for their groceries, with around a third (36%) now compared to a quarter (25%) last year.

Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: “Our research shows that, with more people feeling the squeeze, they are also buying less food and even paying for it with their savings."

Nightmare for money-lenders PAYDAY companies who flout tough, new rules on money-lending will face unlimited fines.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which takes over regulation of consumer credit from the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) next April, said the sanctions were among a host of proposed new rules.

The organisation, which will cover tens of thousands of firms offering services such as overdrafts, credit cards and debt advice, was formed six months ago, pledging to strengthen protection for consumers.

Among its other recommendations are: limiting the number of times a payday loan can be rolled-over to just two, banning misleading adverts and compulsory affordability checks for all loan applicants.

Payday loan firms have come under intense scrutiny in recent months following the

“deep-rooted” problems noted in a damning report by the OFT. The Competition Commission is staging a full-scale investigation of the industry and will reveal its findings next year.

The OFT, which referred the £2bn industry to the commission, is concerned that companies are emphasising the speed of the loan

over cost and, thus, “skimping” on affordability checks.

There have also been complaints of payday firms draining people’s bank accounts unexpectedly, with a type of recurring payment called a “continuous payment authority”.

Payday firms would be limited to doing this twice per customer under the proposals.

Martin Wheatley, FCA Chief Executive, said: “I’m putting payday lenders on notice: tougher regulation is coming.

“I expect them all to make changes so that consumers get a fair outcome - the clock is ticking.”

Payday lenders insist they have been working to improve standards and ensure loans are

given only to those who can afford them.

Russell HamblinBoone, chief executive of the Consumer Finance Association (CFA), which represents many short-term lenders, said: “The CFA and its members have always supported welldesigned, well-implemented regulation in order to protect consumers and drive up

standards. “Our tough code of practice and independent monitoring, which is unique in the industry, has paved the way for FCA regulation, so we look forward to seeing the detail of the draft rulebook.”

The FCA has asked for feedback from consumers as well as lenders before implementing the new rules next year.

Caffè Nero at the hub of Heathrow Caffè Nero has announced that it will be opening three customised stores at the UK’s newest airport terminal, to be known as Heathrow Terminal 2 : The Queen’s Terminal, in June 2014.

Caffè Nero, the European coffee house brand which specialises in gourmet espressobased coffee, will be opening two units in arrivals and one airside, offering customers several new elements and features alongside its normal high quality cof-

fee and speed of service.

The total size for the three units will be over 11,500 square feet offering over 350 covers, the largest amount of space awarded to a food and beverage brand at Terminal 2. The biggest of the three cafes will be located in arrivals, and will feature a number of artisan food products in a Farmers Market format. It will also house a Coffee Roasting Room.

There will also be specifically designed areas to address different customers’ needs rang-

ing from comfortable family-friendly private booths to a business hub catering for work in transit.

In Terminal 2’s airside satellite, alongside Caffè Nero’s gourmet espresso based coffee, as a UK airport first, passengers will be able to enjoy deli-style food, Italian Prosecco, Italian wines and Italian beers. To top it off, the new unit will have one of the best views in the airport overlooking the runway. There will be several new design fea-

tures used in the cafe including traditional wooden workbenches and authentic bespoke counters that will display deli-style Italian inspired food.

Gerry Ford, Chairman and Founder says; ‘From handcrafted and locally roasted award-winning coffee to deli-style, Italian influenced food, our aim is to bring premium Italian products with provenance to the customer – to taste there or take away from the airport.’

Muriel Zingraff-Shariff, Heathrow’s retail director said; ‘We set the bar high for retailers wishing to join Terminal 2. Caffè Nero has exceeded our expectations with innovative concepts that put the theatre of coffee and Italian culture at the heart of the experience for passengers.’

Formula One’s not quite on track for next season NEW JERSEY is being considered as a contender to stage one of the 22 Formula One races next season.

It is one of three provisional venues on the 22-race F1 2014 calendar, even though it was initially dropped.

A race overlooking New York City looked doubtful, but the New Jersey prospect has been revived by the World Motor Sport Council, who have also pencilled in provisional races in Mexico and Korea.

On another note, the sport’s governing body have given Pirelli the green light to continue as F1’s exclusive tyre supplier next season.

The FIA have now published their “confirmed” calendar for 2014, even though it is anything but finalised.

The three “provisional” may never take place, especially the one in New Jersey. That’s because there are huge doubts throughout F1 about the possible venue, which overlooks Manhattan.

It would be a dream race, on paper at least, but F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone believes the organisers do not have sufficient money.

And neither do they appear to have sufficient time to make the required changes to construct a track in

Page 14

the area. Mexico and Korea are more likely to take place. But the Mexicans will have to upgrade their famous track in Mexico City, which last hosted F1 in 1992.

Officials in Korea, which has been in doubt for each of the four years it has staged the event, have yet to agree a commercial deal.

Even so, the calendar has an unfamiliar feel about it. Australia is stand-alone again, among other changes, and the spread of the races which bookend the season will increase costs at a time when many teams are struggling.

So you can expect more changes when the definitive calendar is published in December.

As for Pirelli, their future in the sport looked

in doubt following a series of tyre failures this season - Lewis Hamilton possibly being hit hardest after a blowout when leading one race comfortably in his Mercedes.

But the FIA issued a statement saying that they “may continue to supply tyres to competitors in the FIA F1 World Championship, subject to the requisite technical and safety standards of the FIA being met”.

The inaugural Grand Prix of America is scheduled to take place on 1st June, while a race in Mexico is set for 16th November. The Korean Grand Prix is listed for the 27th April slot.

Inclusion of the three provisional races on the calendar is subject to circuit approval.

Australia again stages the season’s opening race, on 16th March, with Interlagos, in Brazil,

signing off the 2014 season on 30th November.

The British Grand Prix is on 6th July which means another clash with tennis’ Men’s Singles final at Wimbledon - the first for two years.

Meanwhile, Formula 1’s governing body and commercial arm have signed a new agreement binding them together for the next seven years.

A statement on the FIA website said approval had been granted jointly by governing body and F1 commercial boss Bernie Ecclestone’s FOM organisation.

The so-called Concorde Agreement now needs to be signed by the 11 teams to come into full operation.

It sets out the commercial terms of F1, which has about £1bn annual revenue.

Details are kept con-

fidential, but the new agreement guarantees the FIA a greater slice of F1’s income.

An FIA statement said: “This agreement provides the FIA with significantly-improved financial means to pursue their regulatory missions, and to reflect the enhanced role undertaken by the FIA in the Motor Sport.

The Concorde Agreement is a contract between Formula 1’s governing body (FIA), Formula 1 teams, and the Formula One Administration.

The document, introduced in 1981, sets out how F1 is run and its revenues distributed.

It reads: “The parties have agreed a strong and stable sporting governance framework, which includes the Formula 1 Group, the FIA and the participating teams. “The agreement lays down solid foundations for the further development of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.”

But the Concorde Agreement is overdue because the last one lapsed at the end of 2012.

Ecclestone said he was “pleased” the new agreement had been concluded.

Jean Todt, the FIA president who faces a power battle against Englishman David Ward in an election in December, said: “We can be proud of this agreement, which establishes a more effective frame-

work for the governance of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.

“The FIA look forward to continuing to fulfil their historic role as the guarantor of both regulation and safety in F1 for many years to come.”

Ikea’s flat-out attempt for solar-panel success

CUT-PRICE furniture company Ikea is now selling solar panels to UK customers - in its trademark flat-pack style!

The Swedish company is using Britain as a gauge for its plan to offer renewable energy to the global mainstream market because of the country’s electricity prices and the Government’s financial incentives.

Ikea believes the panels will pay for themselves in seven years, and though it is not the first general retailer to sell solar panels, its partnership with Chinese company Hanergy is the only one to

provide a built-in care package.

It said a standard, all-black 3.36-kilowatt system for a semi-

detached home will cost £5,700, to include an in-store consultation and design service, as well as installa-

Swedes are the golden oldies AFGHANISTAN is the worst place in the world to be old, according to a UN-backed global study.

But in view of the unseemly war being waged there, some would say you’d be lucky to grow old there!

Sweden is said to be the world’s finest place to enjoy old age, while Britain finished one place behind the Republic of Ireland in 13th spot.

The Global AgeWatch Index examined the quality of life of the elderly in 91 countries.

It warned that many countries did not have adequate support in place for their ageing populations.

By 2050, the study found, older people will outnumber children under 15 for the first time, with most of the elderly in developing countries.

The index was complied by the UN Population Fund and advocacy group HelpAge International. It was released

Page 16

to mark the UN’s Day of Older Persons, which was held on Tuesday.

Researchers used 13 indicators - including income and employment, health provision, education, and environment - in what they said was the first study of kind to be conducted on a global scale.

The study authors say countries across the world face an ongoing challenge from the world’s rapidly-ageing population.

“The continual exclusion of ageing from national and global agendas is one of the biggest obstacles to meeting the needs of the world’s ageing population,” said Silvia Stefanoni, interim chief executive of HelpAge International.

“By giving us a better understanding of the quality of life of women

and men as they age, this new index can help us focus our attention on where things are going well, and where we have to make improvements.”

Although Sweden led the way, with Afghanistan last, the top 20 was dominated by countries from Western Europe and North America, along with Japan, Australia and Chile.

Wealth was not the only factor considered, and countries such as Sri Lanka, Bolivia and Mauritius were ranked above several wealthier nations.

Some large fast-developing countries fared worse than others, with Russia (78), India (73) and Turkey (70) receiving a low rank, while Brazil (31) and China (35) were regarded more favourably by the researchers.

tion, maintenance and energy monitoring service.

Steve Howard, Ikea’s chief sustainability of-

ficer, said: “In the past few years the prices on solar panels have dropped, so it’s a really good price now. It’s the

right time to go for the consumers.”

The Government offers private solar-panel owners the opportunity to sell back electricity to the grid on days when they have surplus production.

And it has a financing plan for solar-power investments, which means residents can buy a system for no upfront cost and pay it off gradually.

“That is a great deal,” added Mr Howard. “If you are going to be in your house that long, your energy will be free after seven years.”

The panels are sold in Southampton only at present, but Ikea said its stores across Britain would follow in the coming months.

Fresh clues to 17-year murder

POLICE still investigating the murder of Melanie Hall have received “significant” new clues which could lead to a vital breakthrough The body of 25-yearold Miss Hall was found dumped by the side of the M5 near Bristol in 2009 after she had been reported missing 13 years earlier.

On the fourth anniversary of that discovery, police have uncovered “significant and very interesting” information, and forensic experts are examining a car which may be relevant to the murder.

Detective Superintendent Mike Courtiour, in charge of the inquiry, said: “Over the past four years we have received information, intelligence and names that we have taken seriously, researched and thoroughly investigated.

“We have recently received information concerning the origin of the blue rope used to tie up Melanie’s body. It is significant informa-

tion and we are actively working on that line of inquiry.”

He added: “We are working with forensic scientists in relation to the rope, and the circumstances of where that particular length of rope came from.

“Also, we have recently found and recovered a car that may be relevant to events in 1996, when Melanie disappeared.

“It is a white, A-registered, mark 1 Volkswagen Golf GTi cabriolet, which is currently being examined by forensic scientists.

“At this stage, we do not know if it is connected with the case, but it is a very interesting and possibly significant line of inquiry.”

Miss Hall, who worked at Bath’s Royal United Hospital, disappeared after a night out at Cadillacs nightclub in the city.

A worker clearing vegetation from the side of the motorway near Thornbury, Glouces-

tershire, found her remains on 5th October 2009. She was identified two days later.

Her father, Steve, said: “This is very positive news. Gradually, the pieces of the jigsaw are being put together to bring Melanie’s killer or killers to justice.

“We always knew it would take a long time, but these new developments appear very encouraging.

“It’s time for whoever has information about Melanie’s murder to come forward and bring this to an end, because it will come to an end eventually. The police won’t give up until they get a result.”

The investigation team have taken some 250 statements and collected 1,200 pieces of evidence since Melanie disappeared.

Anyone with information should contact the murder incident room at Avon and Somerset police. or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Crafty Euro crooks cash in on cheap-flights boom JET-SET crooks from Romania are flooding into Britain on budget flights for one-day thieving sprees.

They are also targeting other continental countries with pick-pocketing and card-skimming - and are back home the same day to count their ill-gotten gains. London is their favourite ripoff destination because they can catch daily return flights there from Romania for as little as £25 each way. More than 240 Romanian criminal groups are said to be working involved. And according to Rob Wainwright, director of the EU’s law enforcement agency Europol, they have a deal with their Bulgarian counterparts so they can “work” Britain alone.

Mr Wainwright added: “They are operating across multiple jurisdictions and it leaves police struggling to catch them.”

He has called for more cross-border police operations to counter these jet-set crooks, saying: “They have be-

come more prevalent in the last three to four years.”

The Romanian and Bulgarian gangs are thought to be responsible for 90% of all cardskimming offences in Europe.

Skimming is where data from a card’s magnetic strip is illegally copied - often using a fake attachment on a cash machine.

A cloned card is then produced and used to make purchases in someone else’s name.

Mr Wainwright said: “These travelling gangs fly on low-cost airlines, do a few hits in one city and get back in time for tea. It’s very different for the local police to respond to that.”

But Europol does not believe the threat will rise significantly when restrictions on the type of work Romanians and Bulgarians can do in the UK are lifted in January.

Between April and June this year, the number of people from those two nations working in the UK rose by nearly 26%.

Doctors to open all hours DAVID CAMERON wants doctors- surgeries to be open 12 hours a day, seven days a week.

He believes the move will ease the pressure on overworked hospital A&E departments.

The Prime Minister this week confirmed plans for a £50m trial across England, expected to cover up to half a million patients from next April, and he insisted the pilot scheme would be funded properly.

Almost one in five patients in a recent NHS survey said inconvenient appointments were a concern, with more than 70% backing weekend and after office opening hours.

The scheme, unveiled at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester, will offer extra cash to groups of GPs proposing the most effective ways to improve patient access.

As well as extended surgery hours, ministers hope they will pioneer more effective use of technology, such

as consultations with patients via video calls, email and by telephone.

Electronic prescriptions, online appointment booking and allowing people to visit a number of different surgeries across an area are among other measures which could be introduced.

Mr Cameron told Sky News: “Sometimes, people using Accident & Emergency really just need to see a GP. But for hard-working

people, it is often too difficult because you are at work, you can’t get an appointment at the time that fits.

“Let’s see if we can have GPs’ surgeries open 12 hours a day, seven days a week, so you can always get that appointment you need.

“We are starting with pilot schemes in nine regions of England. We are spending the money to help GPs achieve this. We will be able to see how it works.”

The Prime Minister

added: “I believe that will work well - and then our ambition is to roll that out across the country. That is good for hard-working people but I also think it is right for our health service.

“If you look at A&E since 2004, when the GP contract changed, we see four million more people a year going to Accident & Emergency, so I think we are not getting the balance right at the moment.”

Lillian Mary Jessop 1948-2013 LILLIAN sadly passed away on Thursday, 26th September, after living and working in Tenerife for many years.

She was well-respected and loved dearly by everyone who knew her.

With husband Andrew, she was successful in life and never had a bad word for anyone.

And, she possessed a smile you could not resist. She loved her football and became part of the CDT Armada Sur gang. She was also an avid Barcelona fan.

Family and friends met at the Phoenix Bar in Los Abrigos on Monday in memory of this

lovely lady. Words and poems were read by her son, Alan, and by close friends Eric and Joy. And a glass was raised to toast the life of this amazing woman, with her favourite tipple: vodka and Irn Bru. With help from Lillian’s daughter, Kerry, and her work-mates, a pink-ribbon collection raised over 2,000 euros. This money will be donated to the AECC charity here in Tenerife to help with cancer research and to find a cure.

Lillian, a lovely lady with a never-ending smile, will be sorely missed.

Number’s up for

Bingo Billy

BILLY WHITE, otherwise known affectionately as Bingo Billy, lost his fight against cancer last week.

Although he left the Island several years ago, he is remembered with fondness by his many ex-pat friends still here. One of them, Tony Elstub (pictured here with Billy), told Canarian Weekly: “Billy came to Tenerife over 20 years ago from his native Basingstoke.

He opened Billy’s Bar on Starco, Las Americas, and, within a short time, he had not only made many friends but was also making his mark on the Island.

“He will probably be best remembered from his time at Harlequins Bar, Las Americas, where he called the bingo.

“As many of us know, his strong character made him an important and integral part of the bar.

“His interaction with resident duo Kracka

Page 20

(whom he affectionately called ‘Krappa’) was famous, and their rendition of his theme tune Bingo Billy Ate All The Pies was recorded and sent to the UK to be played at his funeral this week.

“Billy’s grumpy attitude was a complete pretence, and, on chatting to him, he warmed into one of the friendliest and genuine person you could ever meet.

“There was never a dull moment with Bill around, and many people here have many funny stories to tell about him.”

Tony added: “Bill leaves a loving wife, Pat, four sons - Roy, Steve, Paul and Tony - and daughter Joanne. He will be sorely missed.”

Here are some Bingo Billyisms, all spoken in his gruff cockney accent, which will be familiar to his old pals and customers over here: “Why do you have to be so stupid??”

“You silly little man”.

Cave puppies in need of homes WE need to find foster homes for eight, adorable, five-week-old puppies, who are living in a cave above Los Cristianos.

Their mother is the size of a poodle and the dad more or less the size of a small retriever.

They have been cared for well by the cavedweller and are fat and healthy. But we will need to remove them for their own safety because they will want to venture out soon.

We will be sterilising the mum to prevent this happening again, and returning her to the owner.

But can you find it in your heart to foster these puppies, or even adopt one? Until we have homes in place for all of them, we cannot remove them and get their injections done.

Should you offer a foster home, ALL food and veterinary care will be met by Live Arico PAWS, and they will cost you nothing other than your

time and patience. We can even supply a puppy pen.

If you wish to adopt one, the standard adoption fee of 140 euros for a female and 110 euros for a male, which covers all vaccinations, microchip and sterilisation, will apply when they are old enough.

Call Sue on 629 388 102 for more information.

Top Square does it again We were back on the Top Square, Golf del Sur, last Saturday for our three-monthly, fundraising spectacular.

We vow that every one

is better than the last and we did not disappoint. A new feature, which proved very popular, was a fashion show of items from our Los Cristianos shop, which were then sold afterwards.

Hat’s off to Kel and the wonderful models headed by the beautiful Stephanie from the Blue Luna Cafe for thinking of the idea and putting it all together.

We collected 185 euros for clothes, with another 110 euros coming from an auction of designer bags and purses.

Entertainment came from “Johnny Cash”, Aidy Evans, Vicky Denton, Robbie Dominic, Caroline from the Emerald Lounge on the squeezebox, Alfie on guitar and Dave Slippers.

Bill and Heather provided a lovely toy dog, and Becky went round the Square asking people to name him. He was named Rocky, Paul from

the Emerald Lounge was the winner and another 120 euros went into the pot.

Siobhan, Claire and Poppy worked hard on the tombola, with prizes galore, and our official photographer, Steve Sands, captured the moment in top style as always.

The photos and videos can be found on our website and Facebook page.

There always has to be a silly time, and Dave Slippers, Howard Owen, Sean Wren and George did not disappoint with their own take on the Village People meets the Full Monty.

The Square was packed, with standingroom only, and a huge total of 1,005 euros was raised.

Enormous thanks to all who worked so hard, came, donated, and supported. We will see you at the next one, on 28th December, with a seasonal theme the order of the day.

Adoption food for thought PLEASE remember that an animal from a shelter or refuge has probably had a hard time in the past.

It requires patience for the dog to settle into its new environment - and to learn to trust his new owners.

An abundance of, love and care is definitely required and several issues must be resolved within the household before adoption is considered, including the following: *If the dog is allowed in the house, do all the family members want a pet? *Who will take care of the animal? *Who will prepare the food and provide water? *Who walk the dog at least twice a day? * Who will be responsible for its regular maintenance and grooming etc?

Will dog hairs and the occasional “accident” on the floor (carpet) or furniture be accepted? *Are you aware of the following costs involved? a) Food b) Veterinary fees

Accion del Sol News

c) Monthly flea and heartworm control d) Liability insurance e) Possible accommodation in kennels while you’re on holiday f) Initial microchip and injections Do remember that a dog can live for many years, and will always need daily care and attention.

A dog with feelings, just like us humans, and is not something you can quickly get rid of if you get fed up with it!

Having a dog or other pet is a very responsibility for you and your family, both personally and financially.

However, the dog will thank you unconditionally in return. It will love you forever and bring much joy and support into your life.

Please think long and hard before taking on an animal, especially if you feel you would like to adopt one of Accion del Sol’s many abandoned

dogs.

If you really do want an ever-loving pet, please visit the refuge. It is open Monday-Friday from 3-6pm, or call 922 778 630 for more information.

The refuge is situated at the Granadilla, Industrial Estate, Exit 51 on the TF1, right next to the windmills on the ecological park.

Maybe adoption is to big a commitment, but you can help Accion del Sol in other ways because staff are always looking for people to walk the dogs on

the nearby beach and surrounding countryside.

They love being pampered that extra bit and always welcome a bit of TLC and a nice walk.

Please take the time to visit Acción del Sol anyway. It is a first-class refuge, where the care of the dogs is second to none.

Together we can help ease the chronic situation here in Tenerife. The dogs who are dumped by callous owners have suffered enough, and now is the time for change.

Tuesday 8th October, ITV1, 20.00 Prince William, Prince Charles and Prime Minister David Cameron join more than 100 stars including Usain Bolt, Jamie Oliver, Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger, James Corden, Jenson Button, Andy Murray and Phillip Schofield in honouring Britain’s unsung heroes.

Hosted by Carol Vorderman, the Daily Mirror’s 15th annual Pride of Britain Awards is a unique night of truly extraordinary heroes. It is packed with the most amazingly uplifting and moving stories of courage, selflessness and achievement against the odds - and more than few surprises on the way. Famous names from showbusiness, sport and politics unite to celebrate the most awe-inspiring achievements at the Grosvenor House in London’s Park Lane.

Winners range include a ten year-old boy who saved his father’s life when he collapsed with a heart attack and an eight year-old meningitis victim who, after his four limbs had to be amputated, went on an unbelievable fund-raising mission for the hospital that treated him.

There is a lollipop lady who was almost killed

when she jumped in front of an out-of-control car to save a group of schoolchildren. And, in a salute the sacrifice of Britain’s armed forces in Afghanistan, also honoured is an incredibly brave rifleman who ran across open ground under sniper fire to rescue an injured comrade - despite being shot in the head himself.

To celebrate the 150th anniversary of The FA, Prince William meets an amazing woman who turned around her community through the power of football.

Among those also receiving recognition are the families who lost relatives in the Hillsborough tragedy who fought for 24 years to uncover the truth about what happened on that terrible day.

Nominated by the public, the winners are from all walks of life, of all ages, and from all over the country, and their extraordinary achievements are an inspiration for us all.

It’s the night when ratings battles are forgotten because among those joining Carol will be the stars of the biggest shows on TV including X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, Downton Abbey and Dragon’s Den and soaps

including Coronation Street. Emmerdale and EastEnders.

Other names taking part include David Walliams, Jimmy Carr, Ronnie Corbett, Amanda Holden, Tess Daly, John Bishop, The Saturdays, Katherine Jenkins, Michael Owen, Denise Van Outen, Myleene Klass, Peter Andre, Katherine Kelly, Kimberley Walsh, Pixie Lott, Union J, Lorraine Kelly, Eamonn Holmes, Mark Austin and Julie Etchingham.

Since it started in 1999, Pride of Britain has become the biggest event of its kind in the UK. It is also one of the highest-rated awards shows on British TV. Among A-listers who have taken part are David Beckham, Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, President Clinton, Kylie Minogue, Dame Helen Mirren and Ewan McGregor.

Host Carol Vorderman says: “It’s always such a great pleasure hosting Pride of Britain. For me, it is the only awards show on TV that really matters because the winners are real people who could not be more deserving “Over the past 14 years, there have been so many heart-warming, inspiring stories of people who have con-

tributed so much to this country. It’s a chance for us to celebrate Britain at its best and I’m not surprised it has become the biggest national event of its kind.”

HRH Prince Charles, who has supported Pride of Britain since 2001, says: “The Pride of Britain Awards remind us of the compassion, decency and courage which still exists in every corner of the land.”

David Beckham says: “I’m always delighted to take part in the Pride of Britain Awards. The winners are always amazing, particularly the little children. I think the bravery and courage they show is an example to us all.”

Dame Helen Mirren says: “It was an honour just to sit amongst such incredible people. I can’t remember ever being so moved. The stories of these incredible people are the sort of thing that really gives you faith in human nature.

This is what an awards ceremony should be.”

Simon Cowell says: “These awards are far superior to the Brits and Baftas. I genuinely believe it’s the best award ceremony of the year. It makes you realise exactly what life is about and what people have to overcome.”

It is the last day of the road trip for top chefs Aldo Zilli and Silvena Rowe. They have travelled the length and breadth of the UK entering country show food competitions, and are all set for a nail-biting final showdown.

Their fifth and final destination is Muker in the Yorkshire Dales, and it is their last chance at scoring a victory against the locals - and indeed beating each other - with 'two items from a Dales kitchen'.

There is time though to meet up with one of the area's finest food producers. Alison and Nick run the village B&B and are at the hub of the local community.

Alison is determined to impress the professionals with her whisky and ginger wine cake. Inspired by some local fayre, the duo have to get to grips with their own interpretation of 'local'. They have everything to fight for and show judge Val Punchard is looking for show-stopping entries. The gloves are off.

The halfway point of the Hairy Bikers' Bakeation sees them journey to the furthest reaches of Europe culminating in an amazing family party thrown by Dave's wife Lil, who comes from Romania. Three countries, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, provide the Bikers with ample opportunity to explore some great baking. It all starts in a cafe in Bratislava, where the Bikers are served three cakes inspired by British TV cookery shows. They also have an encounter with kremesh, the Hungarian take on a vanilla slice, served in a cafe that survived the ravages of communism; langos, a roadside snack of deep-fried pastry with sour cream and cheese, and Tokaj wine, the choice of kings once more prized than any wine made in France.

The Bikers keep their end of the culinary deal with zemlovka, an Eastern European take on the classic bread and butter pudding, some amazing cheese and bacon savoury scones, a robust goulash stew and a curly pie.

He chooses a stunning location to cook his pasta - right in front of the iconic Colosseum.

Citzen Khan BBC1, 21.30 Mr Khan is a larger-than-life character, with strong opinions and big dreams. The challenges he faces are those of many fathers - how to make ends meet, keep his wife and daughters happy and impress his daughter’s

future in-laws.

Things would be so much easier if everyone just listened to him and followed his lead, but his obsessively house-proud wife and two feisty daughters usually have other ideas.

In episode one, Alia’s College, Mr Khan’s day off from being a ‘busy’ community leader is interrupted when Alia fails her exams, prompting Mrs Khan to lay down the law. She tells Mr Khan to sign Alia up at the Muslim Academy, but when he finds out how much it costs, Khan decides there’s a better option... Meanwhile Shazia has invited Debbie, her best friend and boss, round for dinner with the intention of asking her to be chief bridesmaid at her wedding. But she hasn’t counted on her dad inadvertently inviting an extra guest.

Historian Dominic Sandbrook takes viewers on an eye-opening and refreshing journey deep into the 1970s, a decade where the old Britain of the post-war years was transformed into the nation of today. This episode looks at the impact of a fastchanging world on British life and how Britain could no longer pretend to be a island nation that stood apart. Dominic explores the effects of the oil price hike of the 70s and of rampant inflation on Britain's living standards.

Matt Baker is looking at the history and heritage of the old mining town of Blaenavon, seeing how the old spoil heaps have become rich habitat for a surprising number of creatures.

The spoil heaps have also been made into a world-class BMX bike trail - Matt takes on some local young people in a time trial. He also sees how one old pit is now producing cheese rather than coal. Julia Bradbury is combining her love of food and art; she is at the Abergavenny Food Festival, where a group of artistically minded local people get together to make huge sculptures based on the food on show. Julia also explores the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal, and joins the team of volunteers restoring the waterway and bringing it back to life. Helen Skelton is in Scotland, meeting two of the contestants in this year's One Man and His Dog.

Pastry. With only six bakers left in the tent the stakes are getting higher and this week they face pastry. The remaining bakers bring the old fashioned suet pudding bang up to date with a range of creative signature suet puds, from 'spotted dick with a kick' to fig roly-poly. Delving further into the history of suet takes the show to the Isle of Mull, where the clootie dumpling has been at the heart of the community for centuries. The technical challenge sees the bakers set one of Mary's choux pastry recipes. They must make eight perfect religieuse - delicate choux buns filled with creme patissiere, topped with shining ganache and balanced delicately one on top of the other. As they reach the end of their pastry marathon, the bakers reach the showstopper and must make three different types of perfectly puffed pastries.

One type must be filled, another must be iced and the third is up to them. From palmiers to cream horns, they have just four hours to impress the judges.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea head to Norwich in one of two early kick-offs, while Southampton welcome Swansea in the other clash. Tottenham then entertain West Ham without a key man fromlast year's 3-1 win in the corresponding fixture - the world's most expensive footballer, Gareth Bale, recently departed to Real Madrid for ÂŁ85.3 million. Their north London rivals Arsenal are also in action on a busy afternoon for the capital's sides, with the Gunners travelling to West Brom. Plus all the goals from Saturday's games, as well as a light-hearted look at some of the weekend's more unusual moments.

The Crane Gang BBC2, 20:00

Following the men and women of the UK's largest mobile crane company. This episode sees the company looking to the future.

Their teams of drivers, riggers and slingers are working on the front line of new energy projects. However the installation of a wind turbine in Cornwall is brought to a halt by too much wind.

In London, the crane drivers are given cycle awareness training to help cut the risk of their HGVs to vulnerable road users.

The Ottomans: Europe's Muslim Emperors BBC2, 21:00

It was the world's last Islamic empire - a super-power of a million square miles. From its capital in Istanbul it matched the glories of Ancient Rome. And after six centuries in power it collapsed less than a hundred years ago. Rageh Omaar sets out to discover why the Ottomans have vanished from our understanding of the history of Europe. Why so few realise the importance of Ottoman history in today's Middle East.

And why you have to know the Ottoman story to understand the roots of many of today's trouble spots from Palestine, Iraq and Israel to Libya, Syria, Egypt, Bosnia and Kosovo.

In this first episode, the unlikely roots of the Ottomans are revealed. From nomadic horsemen, in a rural backwater of modern day Turkey, they became rulers of a vast empire spanning three continents. At an incredible speed they came to rule over Baghdad and Cairo in the south, where they controlled the holiest sites of Islam Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem, and they reached deep into Europe.

HIGHLIGHT 999: WHAT’S YOUR EMERGENCY? Channel 4, 21.00 Last year, Channel 4 cameras followed the work of police, fire and ambulance staff in Blackpool to reveal modern Britain through the eyes of the emergency services.

Now the series returns, but this time its focus is on the emergency service that gets to know us most intimately: the ambulance service. The new series follows ambulance staff across the country who know that every 999 call they race to could be a matter of life or death.

This compelling six-part series reveals how Britain is in more desperate need of help than ever before and that the ambulance service is under huge pressure, with 11 million emergency calls a year and an ambulance dispatched every five seconds at an average cost of £250.

It follows cases from the moment the 999 calls are received, as ambulances are dispatched and the paramedics arrive on the scene. But it also goes beyond to explore why the call was made and find out what happened after the medics left.

Every call out has the potential to change lives forever. Some are medical emergencies, such as heart attacks, accidents and stabbings. But others are more complicated - suicide attempts, self-harming and alcohol or drug abuse – and the result of mental health problems and deep-seated social issues.

Paramedics and call handlers speak powerfully and frankly about the challenges they face (and the Britain they see), while patients and their loved ones reveal the story behind their call for help.

Talking exclusively to Mishal Husain, Malala describes how she stood up to the Taliban when they tried to close her school, and remembers the day she was shot on her school bus. She tells Mishal about her battle for recovery in a Birmingham hospital and about her new life in the UK - juggling school in Birmingham with speeches and meetings on the world's stage.

Mishal goes to Pakistan's Swat Valley to visit Malala's old school, and we hear for the first time from her school friends and family about the real Malala.

Motorway Cops BBC1, 21:00

Every year, more than 50 tonnes of heroin and cocaine are sold in Britain, but in the north of England a team of specialist roads crime officers are striking back at the multi-million pound business of moving illegal drugs around the country.

And when police from the Yorkshire and the Humber Regional Roads Crime Team are not chasing after drug runners and street dealers, they are always ready to catch a thief or two.

One hundred and thirty five miles south, officers from the Central Motorway Police Group near Birmingham patrol more than 600 hundred miles of roads. It is one of Britain's busiest motorway networks, where more than 200,000 motorists travel every day. Much like their counterparts in the north, the cops here target criminals using the roads by a sophisticated network of cameras which automatically read number plates to keep a check on cars and their drivers.

University Challenge BBC2, 20:00

In the penultimate first round match St John's College Oxford takes on Downing College, Cambridge to get through to the next stage of the competition. Jeremy Paxman asks the questions.

The new Eastenders

The Queen Vic is under new management this Christmas as Shirley Carter’s brother Mick and his family move to Albert Square, becoming the first family to arrive and immediately take over The Queen Victoria since EastEnders began.

Mick (Danny Dyer) is the baby of the Carter siblings. He has always adored older sister Shirley (Linda Henry) who brought him and sister Tina (Luisa Bradshaw-White) up when their mother walked out on them as children. But Mick and Shirley have been estranged for years due to animosity between Shirley and Mick’s wife, Linda.

Mick loves his missus, his kids, his dog, the monarchy, a bit of Land of Hope and Glory. He’s a bloke’s bloke who, having spent most of his life surrounded by women, is actually a big softie. He thinks nothing of throwing on Linda’s pink dressing gown and cooking breakfast for the family in the morning before getting the beer barrels ready downstairs.

Linda (Kellie Bright) is the love of Mick’s life and they have been together since they were teenagers. Linda has been a barmaid for most of her life – but above everything, sees herself as a mum. She’s the first to admit she wasn’t blessed with brains but her fluffy candyfloss exterior belies an inner steel. A lioness who will fight tooth and nail for her brood, Linda can take this to extremes - and she can be more ‘smother’ than ‘mother’.

Executive Producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: “I’m so excited to have actors of Danny and Kellie’s calibre joining what is an already strong and talented company of actors. Having been together over 20 years, Mick and Linda have a good marriage and an easy shorthand with each other - but can also still fight like teenagers.

The Day I Got My Sight Back Since 2002, Ian Tibbetts, a 42-yearold former forklift truck driver from Telford in Shropshire, has been slowly going blind. He has never seen the faces of his twin fouryear-old boys. Despite numerous treatments to save his eyesight, nothing has worked - until now.

Over several months, this film follows Ian as he undergoes a series of radical operations in a last attempt to restore his sight. The procedure involves inserting a tiny lens in one of the patient's own teeth and then implanting the tooth in his eye.

Christopher Liu, at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton, is the only surgeon in Britain who performs this remarkable procedure. The success rate is high, but it is not guaranteed. Will Ian ever see his wife again - and will he finally see his twin sons for the first time in his life?

For the signature challenge, the bakers must make a loaf using non-traditional wheat flours, encouraged instead to use the rarer flours such as spelt, rye, potato or tapioca flours. Whilst the bakers get busy with their loaves, the programme explores the history of the National Loaf, created by the Ministry of Food who developed a flour to make imports go further and keep the nation healthy in times of rationing.

W C choice TOWIE - Vegas ITV2, 22.00 It’s time to pay another visit to the gossip and glamour capital of the UK as The Only Way Is Essex returns for its tenth series.

There’s never a dull moment in Essex, where secrets are regularly spilled, tears frequently flow, and the break up and make up rate is off the scale.

Hot on the heels of the gang’s eventful visit to Marbella this Summer, the series kick-starts with two hour-long specials in Las Vegas. America’s Sin City won’t know what’s hit it when Essex’s finest descend en-mass to show them just how it’s done.

The drama picks up after the action packed events of series nine, which saw long term couple Sam and Joey split, the pair’s respective families coming to blows over divided loyalties, Ricky confess to cheating on girlfriend Jess and unlucky in love Lucy fall into the arms of new boy Dan, who later revealed he’d got his ex girlfriend pregnant…

With the casts’ lives remaining as eventful as ever during their Summer hiatus, series ten lifts the lid on the disputes and dalliances we’ve missed out on – are Ferne and Charlie over for good? Have Sam and Joey spoken since he kissed her friend? Is Lucy back to single status?

With explosive fall-outs, complicated love lives, outrageous fashion attempts and OMG moments galore, in Essex thing’s always guaranteed – expect the unESSEXpected.

Breathless follows the lives of a group of doctors and nurses working in a London hospital, a world in which everything and everyone has their place. But underneath the shiny veneer simmers a cauldron of lies, deception and guilty secrets, driven by love, ambition and sex.

The series opens in 1961, a time when Britain was on the brink of the Sixties revolution – abortion is illegal and the contraceptive pill is only just becoming available to married women. Set in and around a busy Gynaecology unit, medicine becomes the perfect stage to play out the shifting and complex moral codes of early 1960s society.

Co-created and written by Paul Unwin and Peter Grimsdale. Paul has also directed the first two episodes of this new series.

Otto Powell (Jack Davenport), a brilliant and charismatic surgeon, is summoned to the hospitals theatre where young surgeon and pretender to the throne, Richard Truscott, is about to make a rather serious error.

Humiliating though it is Richard has his wife to be, ex-nurse Jean (Zoe Boyle), to take his mind off such things.

Away from the hospital Otto and his ever-faithful anaesthetist Charlie Enderbury (Shaun Dingwall) have been called out for a private operation.

Angela (Catherine Steadman), new to the hospital and first time on a private procedure, is appalled when she discovers it’s an abortion, still very much illegal in 1961. Otto finds himself quite taken by this headstrong new nurse.

Back on the hospital ward Angela is concerned about a young patient, Maureen Mulligan (Holli Dempsey), who is determined to take any measures possible to escape her impending marriage to a man she doesn’t love. Angela uses her knowledge about Otto’s illegal side line to get him to help her try to buy the patient some time before her parents take her home to an unhappy future.

At a wedding dress fitting with Otto’s wife, Elizabeth (Natasha Little), and Charlie’s wife, Lily (Joanna Page), Jean has to confess that she is pregnant. In the face of Lily’s slight shock she admits that it is probably the only reason Richard is marrying her.

BBC1, 21.00 The first episode of the series begins with Malachi trying to accept his marriage has ended, especially when he interrupts his ex-wife having a culinary-themed affair with her new fiancé. After some soul searching and help from his son, he comes to terms with the break up in his own inimitable way.

Trying to create a new life isn’t easy, especially when the new boss Martin, old enough to be his son, is revolutionising the working day with a new advanced telemetrics system and revised rosters designed to increase productivity. The other truckers Wendy, Steven and Malachi’s son Glen are equally unimpressed with the new system – with the transport manager Michelle Martin’s only source of support.

Glen decides the best way to turn the situation around is a night out in Nottingham, which Malachi duly accepts. Far from making the situation better, Malachi’s introspection grows and the rest of the team can only watch the aftermath.

Malachi is played by Stephen Tompkinson, Glen is played by Harry Treadaway, Steven is played by Ashley Walters, Martin is played by John Dagleish, Wendy is played by Sian Breckin, Michelle is played by Jenn Murray.

Max is doing Perry well!

TO be able to deliver comedy is an art form in itself. But to deliver comedy as well as producing top vocals on classic rock songs is a gift.

I have had the pleasure of working with Max Perry in many different guises.

Max has worked here for over a decade and has successfully filled roles as a solo rock singer. He has also spent time as a resident compere at Dreamers bar, in Los Cristianos.

Now, though, he is fulltime on the Tenerife entertainment circuit, paying tribute to the music of Freddie Mercury and Queen.

Max has found huge success with this show.

One reason for this is the genre he has chosen. Timeless classics from Queen and Freddie, often described as the greatest performer of all, give Max a solid musical base from which to work.

He has such a natural manner on stage and could be just at ease in a large venue as with the smaller showbars on the Island, engaging the audience in song initially and a little later

going to write about, I would rather use it as a hook to encourage you to go and see Max Perry’s Queen Show. I’ve caught his performances at The Brewers Droop, with resident compere Andy P on Fridays at 11pm. So tonight, if you are looking to

watch a show which will keep you smiling into the weekend, then look no further.

If you enjoy laughing and top-class vocals in equal doses from one of our most versatile entertainers, make sure you find Max Perry.

WHAT’S NEW

in the show with comedy. Laughter is created from his original, observational comedy with which everyone can relate.

He draws on his subject matter from the things that happen daily to tourists in an unfamiliar area of the world, and the problems one faces on holiday.

He picks up on all the funny aspects of life and is adlib master, reacting to the audience with the speed of a thou-

sand gazelles. This, in turn, deters the bravest of hecklers, for whom Max has a plethora of put-downs.

Audiences love to hear a good bit of banter between artiste and audience, and Max encourages participation throughout the show.

One thing I have noticed about this artiste is that he has a basic structure to his show, but I have never seen the show delivered in the same way.

WELL, after a summer spent in California, Dee Daniels is back on the Island.

Dee is an extremely popular entertainer and was missed this summer.

But she is slipping into her new routine on the circuit she loves – and it isn’t taking long to fill her diary, either.

Many of the venues which had booked Dee in before her extended trip to the States have snapped her up straight away.

Not a surprise, really, because Dee, like Max, has the ability to choose the right song formula and deliver comedy to a

IT is all right to boast about having the biggest terrace in the south of Tenerife - but only if it’s full!

Actually, Leonardos Terrace is full to capacity before 9pm most nights. And when popular Premier League teams are playing, it is heaving at 7.30pm.

This gives resident duo Cormack & McRae a great start at 9.30pm, performing two one-hour sets featuring a mixture of music from classic rock to bang-up-to-date UK chart hits, often performing them before they have even been officially released.

Andy and Aaron work so well together, with the latter dropping some amazing harmonies and accompaniments on guitar as well.

Leonardos is one of those venues which will always be popular, with live entertainment every night of the year and Djs Luke and Scotty keeping things going after the live show ends.

These two Djs appeal to all ages and play music accordingly.

Home and Lifestyle SPAIN is the leading destination for people seeking expert advice about buying a home in the sun.

Two-thirds of prospective buyers who sought advice from Foreign Office property experts at the A Place In The Sun show, held in Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre last weekend, said their preferred destination was mainland Spain or the Canaries.

Foreign Office advisers from Spain and France, including Alicante Consul Paul Rodwell and British Embassy (Madrid) property expert Bernadette Gallagher, spoke to a total of 2,209 people who were considering buying a place abroad.

Two-thirds (66%) wanted advice about purchasing in Spanish regions, including Tenerife, with a quarter (24%) considering France and the rest (10%) looking at other countries, or undecided.

More than four out of five people said they found the advice very useful and would use it when buying their home.

They particularly liked the fact that the advice was impartial

and free.

Most advice given by the Foreign Office team concentrated on three key areas: *The value of following the Foreign Office property buyers’ checklist

before moving abroad (take your time, rent first, access healthcare correctly, consider the impact of moving exchange rates on your savings, etc.) *The importance of

getting good, independent advice around your purchase (legal advice, following the buyers’ checklist) *The wealth of information on www.GOV. UK about pensions and

benefits abroad, and living in a specific country Expats who have friends or family considering buying a property here in Tenerife or mainland Spain can help them by suggest-

ing a new Foreign Office video on YouTube, and the Foreign Office’s How to buy property in Spain guidance on www.GOV.UK. Spain also featured heavily in ITV’s Bargains in the Sun programme last night (Thursday), which looked at how, with property prices falling in southern Europe, many people in Britain were starting to think again of owning a sunshine home.

Organisers of the A Place in the Sun show said the number of visitors was well up on last year, suggesting increasing interest among Britons in buying abroad.

More than 12,000 homes in Spanish region, among them Tenerife, have been bought

by Britons over the past three years.

Secrets of a house-proud nation When it comes to cleanliness in the home, some parts of the country take the easy route and spray away the dirt while others prefer more traditional methods.

North Vs South Londoners spend 30 per cent more time putting a sparkle into their living quarters and opting for convenient cleaning products than those in the North of England, an extensive study from Sainsbury’s reveals.

Time-pressed Londoners buy the most cleaning aids to help keep their properties spick and span. They purchase more dusters than any other region, along with more wipes and bleach. But figures show they buy fewer dishwasher tab-

lets and are the highest consumers of washing up liquid. However, this could, have more to do with the lack of space for a dishwasher in small London flats, than a love of doing the dishes by hand.

The biggest users of dishwasher tablets are in the wider South East, followed by Northern Ireland. The North of England, including the

North East, North West and Yorkshire, are less likely to spend money on bleach, other antibacterial products and oven cleaner.

Putting a shine on it Northern Ireland’s residents like to keep their knick-knacks shiny, being the most likely to splash out on silver and metal polish. Customers in Scotland reveal their romantic side as

the largest purchasers per head of scented candles, while air fresheners are most popular among people living in the West Midlands.

Gender Divide - Men Clean Up their Act When it comes to a breakdown between the sexes, not surprisingly women buy far more cleaning products than men, however, figures show men are now responsible for just over a quarter of all cleaning product buys, suggesting an increase in men doing the shopping as well as a rise in the number of men now living alone.

Although men lag far behind women in their number of purchases, the study did reveal one area where men buy more than women – oven cleaner. Their next highest spend was on washing up liquid, followed by dishwasher tablets. The sharpest

difference in spend was seen in the purchase of scented candles with men spending 50% less per person than women.

The Generation Game Older shoppers are definitely fans of more traditional methods of cleaning. Sales of silver polish are eight times higher among the over 75s than 18-24 year olds.

Adults aged 25-34 would appear to favour convenient cleaning aids such as wipes, buying twice as many as the over 65s.

Older customers also favour air fresheners to keep their homes odour free whereas scented candles are most popular among 25-34 year olds.

Sainsbury’s quote: “Some of the differences in buying habits between men and women we expected, but others were a complete surprise. Looking at the amount of oven cleaner

bought by men, either they are desperate to clean up their failed attempts to get on Master Chef, or they are earning some serious brownie points with their other halves by doing the really grubby kitchen job everyone hates. But whatever it is that triggers the urge to get out the duster, polish, or anti-bacterial wipe, it’s good to see that shoppers know they will always find the cleaning products they prefer at Sainsbury’s.”

“It was fascinating to look at the statistics and discover how house-proud we are as a nation and although spending habits varied across the country, with some choosing convenient wipes while others favoured bleach and elbow grease, the one obvious common denominator was a determination to keep our homes spick and span.’’

MATURE MAGIC...

By Carl from Robot

BEING over 50 doesn’t mean that we want to see you looking that way - quite the contrary!

Reaching that age is a time when a woman will still feel she wants to care about her hair, yet doesn’t want to appear as though she’s trying to be 25 again.

I’m a great believer in trying to look a few years younger than you are; not to push it too much, but to look like you can still get away with it.

It’s all a matter of having confidence in yourself to carry it off.

And, believe me, you’ve still got it.

It makes me sad sometimes to tell a new client that her hair is just too old for her.

Why do some stylists give up on this age group when they can still be as creative with their hair as with the younger ones?

It’s not too difficult to make-over a client who is starting to show her years through the hairstyle she is wearing.

Honesty is the best policy, I say. Be truthful without hurting the client. And I’m sure that you, as a customer, appreciates this more.

Wearing your hair too long after a certain age is my big No-No. It’s too scary and always adds on years rather than takes them away.

Going for a shorter-to-

Page 40

A bleak outlook for divorced men DIVORCED men are more likely to suffer from substance abuse and depression - and will probably die early!

medium length look is always best. Soft lines and no sharp edges will frame your face and soften jaw lines.

If you’re going short, then steer away from manly cuts as this will harden your face and pile on the years.

If you are going for colour, then lighter is always better than trying to stay dark, even if this was your natural colour.

Golden and warmer tones will blend away white hairs, unless, of course, Mother Nature has already turned you platinum.

In that case, a touch of colour will take years away without looking too false.

The golden rule with mature hair is “less is more” - no backcombing, overlybleaching, laquering or ponytails please!

At 50 and upwards, softness is best. Your stylist can guide you through your new look, but be prepared to go for something you may not have tried before.

Don’t get stuck with what you had 10 years ago. After all, you wouldn’t wear clothes that old.

So why the same style?

American researchers have discovered that they are prone to succumb to heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke at an earlier age.

They say that divorced and single men have a 39% higher suicide rate than their married counterparts - partly, perhaps, because they are more likely to engage in risky behaviour.

The study, published in the Journal of Men’s Health, says further work is “urgently needed” to investigate the negative health impact of relationship break-

ups. It also calls for doctors to refer more men to therapists.

A case study by Dr Daniel Felix, of the University of Nebraska, said health professionals must recognise “divorce-related health problems” in men.

His research centred on a 45-year-old white man, who “endured a difficult divorce”.

He visited his family doctor for the first time in 10 years, complaining of bad sleep and persistent abdominal pain.

The man also revealed that he drank “about a six-pack of beer a day”, and had recently begun hating his job in middle management at a local bank, becoming irritated with his colleagues and boss.

He eventually said he was having limited access to his children

and was paying a “significant amount of child support”.

The man also said his ex-wife took all their mutual friends with her after the divorce.

The researchers reported the man’s physical condition as “unremarkable”, apart from having a slightly-enlarged liver and being somewhat overweight.

They attributed his mild physical ailments and seemingly mild depressive state to continued anxiety and stress, associated with his divorce.

As a result, the researchers have warned doctors about treating ailments which have a psychological basis in divorce. Instead, they recommend nutrition, exercise and sleep education.

They also urge medical professionals to refer men to alcohol and substance-abuse treatment programmes, counsellors or other mental-health professionals or divorce support groups.

Professor Ridwan Shabsigh, president of the International Society of Men’s Health, said: “Popular perception, and many cultures as well as the media, present men as tough, resilient, and less vulnerable to psychological trauma than women.

“The fact is that men get affected substantially by psychological trauma and negative life events, such as divorce, bankruptcy, war and bereavement.

“Research is urgently needed to investigate the prevalence and impact of such effects, and to develop diagnosis and treatment guidelines for practitioners.”

Miracle baby offers hope

By Val Sainsbury A BABY has been born via a new technique to “reawaken” the ovaries of women who had a very early menopause.

Doctors in the US and Japan developed the technique to remove the ovaries, activate them in the laboratory and re-implant fragments of ovarian tissue.

It has resulted in one baby being born, with another expected.

And the revolutionary technique, reported in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, wasdescribed as early, but a “potential game-changer”.

The 27 women involved in the study became infertile around the age of

30 because of “primary ovarian insufficiency”.

It is a condition affecting one in 100 women who, essentially, run out of eggs too young, which leads to an early menopause.

Women have a fixed number of eggs at birth, and those with the condition tend to use them up too quickly, or are born with far fewer eggs in the first place.

Eggs in the ovaries are not fully formed but, rather, they stay as follicles and some mature each month.

The teams, at Stanford University and Japan’s St Marianna University School of Medicine, were trying to activate the last few remaining follicles, which may be present.

They removed the ovaries from the women and used a combination of two techniques to wake up the sleeping follicles.

Firstly, they cut the ovaries into fragments – a method which has been used in the past as a fertility treatment. Then,

a chemical to “take the brakes off” egg development was applied.

The fragments were put back at the top of the fallopian tubes and the women were given hormone therapy.

Following the treatment, residual follicles started to develop in eight women. Eggs were taken for normal IVF and the result so far is so one baby born and another on the way.

Professor Aaron Hsueh, from Stanford, told the BBC: “It has to be improved to figure out the best way to do it, but we estimate it could help 2530% of the women.

“We think it could help in two other forms of in-

fertility: cancer survivors after chemotherapy or radiotherapy because, if there are any follicles left, there’s a chance this will help. And also women aged 40-45 with an irregular menstrual cycle.”

Some reports have described this study as “beating the menopause”, but does it actually do that?

It is certainly an exciting, if early, development for those who go through the “early menopause”.

Yet even for these women, far more research is needed before it can be considered as a therapy.

But what about the “conventional menopause” in those women normally over the age of

50? Sadly, this technique is unlikely to help any women have children at this stage.

Even if they had follicles which could be cajoled into becoming eggs, there would be issues of quality.

Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have and, as time goes by, they deteriorate.

And as the quality falls, the odds of a successful pregnancy plummet dramatically.

The difference between the eggs of a 25-year-old and a 50-year-old is huge.

As Professor Nick Macklon, from the University of Southampton, put it: “Quality and quantity are two very different things.”

The implications for women with early menopause are still unclear because the technique will require further testing and refinement before it can be used in clinics.

Prof Charles Kingsland, from Liverpool Women’s Hospital and the Royal

College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: “It’s really clever, but will it work for everyone?

“It’s potentially is really interesting, but we need a lot more investigation to confirm this is not another false dawn.

“I see primary ovarian insufficiency on a regular basis in my clinic - so if it’s effective in the long term, we’d be interested.”

Prof Macklon, told the BBC: “Finding a new way to get new eggs by waking up sleeping follicles is very promising.

It’s potentially a gamechanger.

“It’s a very important, exciting piece of science, but it is not ready for the clinic. It still needs good, randomised, control trial data.”

He added that performing the technique outside of a research study would be unfeasible, but a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of egg development could lead to new medications.

Beating the ‘Silent Killer’ JUST four hours of leisure-time exercise a week can have a dramatically-reduced risk of people developing high blood pressure.

Exercise, says a new study, is really effective at lowering the risk of hypertension - and the more exercise you get, the lower the danger.

Those four hours a week are enough to bring about a 19% lower risk developing the devastating condition.

Even taking 1-3 hours of exercise in your spare time can have a dramatic impact, cutting the chances of getting increased blood pressure by 11%.

Making physical activity a regular part of life outside work protects against heart attacks and strokes, which are linked to high blood pressure, according to a new survey.

Dr Wei Ma, study coauthor and associate professor at China’s Shandong University School of Public Health, said: “Hypertension is a risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease, so it is important to prevent and control

it.” The research, published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, pooled results from 13 studies on the effects of physical activity on blood pressure.

It involved 136,846 people in the US, Europe and East Asia, who had healthy blood pressure initially.

More than 15,600 of them later developed high blood pressure during follow-up periods ranging from two to 45 years.

Physical exertion at work, such as farm or industrial labour, did not necessarily have the same effect. It often involves activities like heavy lifting, prolonged standing or repetitive tasks.

Recreational exercise, on the other hand, may affect several factors linked to high blood pressure, helping people keep off extra pounds, improving poor insulin sensitivity or reducing the blood vessels’ resistance to blood flow.

Hypertension blights the lives of around one in three adults (roughly

4th October - 10th October 2013

a billion people worldwide), and although the research linked recreational exercise and lower blood pressure, it did not prove beyond doubt that exercise prevented the condition.

Dr Bo Xi, co-author of the study, said those who exercise for fun may just have healthier lifestyles regardless.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, has been dubbed the “silent killer” because it often has few, if any, symptoms until it is too late.

In Britain alone, at

least 16 million victims have been diagnosed, putting them at higher risk of heart disease, stroke and kidney failure.

Overall, 62,000 UK deaths a year can be attributed to it, which is roughly one in 10.

Doireann Maddock, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: “The benefits of physical activity on heart health are already well known, and this study goes a long way to reinforcing that evidence.

“Current guidelines recommend that adults do at least 2½ hours of moderate, intensity activity each week.

“You could aim for a minimum of 30 minutes on five days a week, but

even 10 minutes will count. “Keeping active doesn’t have to mean joining a gym. A brisk lunchtime walk, or getting off the bus a few stops earlier, can make a difference.”

The biggest banger of all!

SPANISH butchers have cooked their way into the Guinness Book of Records with the longest black pudding ever!

The blood sausage, or morcilla as it is known locally in Burgos, is a speciality of the region and can be eaten raw or cooked.

The raw sausage was put together by chefs, together with 500 locals who helped with the cooking in the northern city.

The previous record

stood at 150 metres, but this pre-cooked version measured an incredible 187.2m in length.

And after cooking, when it had shrunk, it was still 170m long, so it earned the chefs a double world record.

The black banger was made with 220m of intestine, which needed 300 kilos of meat dough, 130kg of onions, 50kg of rice, 40 litres of pig blood, 7kg of spices and 3kg of salt.

But the final dish was hardly achieved in a

flash. In order to carry out the record-breaking double, the city needed to get a giant saucepan.

They had one specially created to ensure that the sausage was cooked at the same temperature all the way along its length at the same time. And it took several months to complete.

Local mayor Javier Lacalle said: “We wanted to come up with something that would really put us on the map.

“We decided to create the world’s longest sausage and we set the length as being something which would be memorable as well.

“The two towers of the Cathedral in our city centre measure 187.2m, so it was a symbolic sausage.”

Once the lengths had been registered, the sausage was distributed to locals, who each paid one euro for a slice of the sausage, together with a beer.

The proceeds will be split between the Spanish Red Cross and a project for helping people with intellectual disabilities.

The taste of Honey Contest

The Tenerife Cabildo has announced the 17th edition of the Regional Honey Competition organised by the Casa de la Miel.

Councillor for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, José Joaquín Bethencourt, explained that this event is one of the biggest in Spain, “It has made ​​an important advance in the utilisa-

Page 42

tion and dissemination of excellent honeys that are produced on the island and, in general, in the Canary Islands” .

The event will be held between the 22nd and 25th October. Honey will be presented under the label Designation of Origin (PDO), with the seller’s details, “a badge that makes Tenerife the only island with this quality standard that offers the consumer a certificate with a different origin and quality

and to create a collective brand image of the product linked to our territory”.

Island honey comes from those beekeepers whose holdings are registered at the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Canary Islands.

To encourage participation small producers are being accepted.

There are many different honeys depending on location and altitude.

ABTA reveals winter holiday trends 2013/14 One in five people is planning to take a winter holiday this year, with one in five (21%) still undecided, according to new research from ABTA – The Travel Association.

Amongst those planning a break, winter sun remains the most popular type of holiday but city breaks and ski holidays have both increased in popularity.

The research also shows a steady hold in numbers going away from 2012 where 21% had a holiday planned with 19% undecided.

Winter Sun Two in five (40%) of those planning a holiday will be heading for some winter sun, this type of break is most popular with older age groups with six in ten (59%) of 55-64 year olds taking a winter sun holiday.

The Canary Islands

are this year’s favourite destination for British winter sun seekers who will also be heading to the southern Mediterranean, particularly Greece, Malta and Tunisia. Further afield, the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean and Mexico make for excellent long haul escapes and Dubai is popular with families.

City Breaks Winter city breaks have seen a jump in popularity with four in ten (39%) of those taking a winter holiday planning a city break this year compared to three in ten (31%) in 2012. This

increase in winter city breaks is being driven by younger holidaymakers; almost half (48%) of under 35 year olds planning a winter holiday are taking a winter city break this year compared to a third (33%) in 2012.

It’s not surprising that these breaks are proving popular as winter can be a great time to wrap up and explore cities. Most will be less crowded with shorter queues for museums and top attractions, plus it will be easier to get a table at popular local haunts. Many cities also come into

their own in the winter months with cosy bars and restaurants and outdoor markets: popular destinations include Amsterdam, Bruges, Prague, Berlin and New York.

Combining a city break with a Christmas market has also become increasingly popular recently as a way to get into the festive spirit and do a spot of shopping. Favourite European destinations include Frankfurt, Paris and Vienna, whilst the outdoor markets in London, Birmingham and Edinburgh are popular in the UK. Winter sports Following excellent snow conditions across Europe last year, winter sports holidays have seen a boost in popularity with 15% of those taking a winter holiday planning to take one, an increase from 10% in 2012.

ABTA estimates that approximately a million Brits will be hitting the slopes this year. Skiing

2013 2012 Winter Sun 40% 39% City break 39% 31% Skiing/ snowboarding 15% 10% Don’t know 2% 9%

and snowboarding holidays are most popular amongst the 16-24 year olds, nearly half (44%) of those taking a winter break will be heading for the slopes.

ABTA Members are also reporting demand for resorts that offer additional activities with winter sports enthusiasts keen to do more off the slopes such as yoga, spa treatments and cookery classes.

Resorts in France, Italy and Austria remain the most popular destinations but budget travellers will also be heading for emerging ski destinations in Poland, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. Plus all eyes will be on Russia as Sochi gears up for the 2014 Winter

Olympics.

St Anton (Austria) (Source: Ski Club of Great Britain) ABTA, Head of Communications, Victoria Bacon said: “Winter can be a great time for a holiday as there’s no other season where such a range of holidays are so easily available to British holidaymakers. It’s no wonder that taking a break at this time of year is consistently popular whether people are seeking sun, snow or a city break.”

Thomas Cook Group unites as ‘Sunny Heart’ brand Building on the company’s already strong brand heritage, and as part of its transformation the Thomas Cook Group plc, @ThomasCookGrp has announced its plans to unify its brands and market activity under one common symbol, the ‘Sunny Heart’.

The ‘Sunny Heart’ is being rolled out, and will replace the current ‘Globe’ in the Group’s websites, international stores, the airline fleet and throughout its headquarters and overseas offices.

The essence of the new brand captures who Thomas Cook is, and what it promises – a high tech, high touch experience across all customer touch points with an omni-channel approach.

The Group has many leading brands including Neckermann in Europe, Ving in Sweden, Condor in Germany and Airtours in the UK that will all carry the ‘Sunny Heart’. The intention

Page 44

isn’t to rebrand all with the Sunny Heart, but they form part of the Group architecture and will, in most cases, carry the Heart as some part of their logo.

“It’s a major milestone in our high tech, high touch transformation,” said Harriet Green, Group CEO of Thomas Cook Group plc. “This isn’t just a rollout of a new logo, it’s about a promise. What we’re announcing today is a renewed promise to our customers, our people and suppliers. A promise that we’re putting them at the heart of our transformation it’s the essence of who we are.

The unification of our brands under the Sunny Heart is three fold; it will make it easier for our customers to understand the full strength and end-to-end value of the entire Thomas Cook Group coupled with our full innovative offering of our services and products; it will show more clearly what dif-

ferentiates us and how we provide a total experience along every touch point - from research, to booking, to anticipation, to the holiday itself; and importantly, it will clarify our customer promise– a complete range of inspirational experiences for our customers.”

“The Heart will appear on the web, in brochures, in our aircraft, in our concept hotels, our other hotels and in our stores: in short, everywhere that our customers connect with us,” continues Harriet Green, Group CEO of Thomas Cook Group.

“Our new brand essence will show our customers the breadth and depth of the Thomas Cook Group. It will inspire and assure our customers, showing that everything through our brands is connected at every level ensuring a unification of care for our customers, through every step of their journey with Thomas Cook.”

“We are building a simplified and strengthened portfolio that incorporates the ‘Sunny Heart’ essence into our brands, this is more than a design refresh, it is leveraging the combined strength of our Group to maximise our presence in the mind of customers,” said Michael Healy, CFO of Thomas Cook

Group, plc. This brand unification is part our new profitable growth strategy announced in March this year. Having already piloted this approach in our North European businesses, we know first-hand that it increases both early bookings and online bookings with the added benefit of heightened

brand awareness. The brand unification has been developed internally, and we are rolling it out appropriately for this stage of our transformation in a way that complements the normal, planned refresh of materials including our planned brochure runs, maintenance and store refreshes.”

By Jav IF you’re looking for a frugal, reliable method of transport which isn’t too costly, you’ll struggle to find a better allround package than the Skoda Rapid Spaceback.

But unless you do big mileages, this diesel’s low running costs won’t quite be enough to cancel out the sluggish pace, despite a decent styling pack.

The Spaceback features a detuned version of the familiar 1.6-litre diesel already fitted to the Rapid Fastback, with the optional £250 Green Tec pack.

Only 89bhp powers the front wheels via a fivespeed manual box, so the new entry-level TDI is not the strongest performer.

Still, with 230Nm of torque (more than any of the petrol models), it’s more than capable of hauling the Spaceback (plus passengers and luggage) around and maintaining a

Skoda offer Rapid appeal

steady, long-distance cruise. However, unlike the silky-smooth 1.2-litre TSI, the diesel really does struggle with refinement. That’s a pity, though, because in other areas, the Spaceback trumps the more staid Rapid Fastback.

Fresh materials fitted to the dashboard, and a smart three-spoke steering wheel lifted from the Octavia, add a level of sophistication missing from the Rapid Fastback.

The Spaceback introduces a few fresh mechanical tweaks as well, with a new electric power-steering rack and mildly retuned dampers, which have been softened in an attempt to smooth out the ride.

The steering feels light and offers no real feedback, but at least it makes the Spaceback easy to drive around town.

At 4.3 metres long, the car brings Ford Mondeo levels of rear space to the compact hatch sector. The optional Style Pack includes a fulllength glass roof that floods the cabin with

light without restricting headroom, which is a genuine plus.

Starting at around £17,000 when it goes on sale in January, this new body style should widen the Rapid’s appeal to a younger audience.

The Rapid Spaceback also features a neater stereo installation, and new trims and seat fabrics.

Skoda views the Spaceback as a rival for the Hyundai i30, Kia Ceed and even the Chevrolet Cruze, so it will sit below the larger Octavia in the company’s line-up.

The engine line-up will consist of three petrols and two diesels, including an 89bhp 1.6 TDI that’s new to the Rapid range.

The entry-level version will have a humble 1.2-litre petrol engine with just 74bhp and a five-speed gearbox.

There will also be two more powerful turbocharged 1.2 engines to choose from, one with 85bhp and the other with 103bhp, plus a 1.4 turbo, which will be available exclusively

with an automatic gearbox.

The 103bhp diesel is just about flexible enough for everyday use but is too vocal when worked hard. The same also applies to the 74bhp petrol, which is actually refined when you’re cruising along at 50mph, but gets very noisy at motorway speeds.

By far the best engine

is the 1.2 TSI 103bhp.

It’s flexible, strong enough to haul the Rapid Spaceback around with some passengers and luggage on board, and both smooth and refined.

You also get a sixspeed manual gearbox that has a more pleasing shift action than the five-speed ‘box fitted to lesser engines.

As with the regu-

lar Rapid, the Spaceback majors on interior space. Okay, the cabin is a little narrow so some may complain about shoulder-room, but otherwise there’s plenty of capacity.

There’s plenty of front and rear headroom, while rear passengers enjoy more knee room than in almost any other small family hatchback.

CD Tenerife 1 Real Madrid Castilla 0 WHEN Inaki Garrido blew his whistle last Sunday evening at around 7pm, the Heliodoro was momentarily bathed in sunshine.

It was almost as if the Gods had decided to mark the occasion in their own unique way.

The short, sharp whistle signified Tenerife’s first second-tier win since Albacete were chinned in May 2011.

The only survivor from that match, Sergio Aragoneses, threw his arms in the air. It was a hallelujah moment.

And make no mistake, Tenerife were good value for the win over a plucky but limited Castilla side, who are certainly going down.

As predicted here last week (does head coach Alvaro Cervera read the CW?) Tenerife started with a new-look midfield.

enough to play his firstever second division match after a pro career which has seen him play more than 300 times.

He was partnered by Ricardo, who is doing a fine job of turning the crowd around.

Two months ago, he was still persona-nongrata after the double relegation season. But he has been excellent so far. He had another fine 90 minutes and, though he is still not cherryripe, he will be a key player this year.

Cervera also tinkered with the formation. He went Mike Bassett style 4-4-2, and in the end it worked.

It’s not a formation to be used away from Santa Cruz, but it is definitely worth another try in a few weeks.

The problem in the first half was Borja.

What a donkey! Brought in from Kilmarnock, he should be sent to Coventry or Coruxo. He is stealing a wage.

His work-rate makes Aridane look like a drugged-up Duracell Bunny. His touch was poor, his passing worse and he didn’t track back once. He never marked a man, chased a lost Points

cause … I could go on.

In a first half that saw both teams in a cautious mood, he was a liability and Tenerife would have been better playing with 10 men.

When he was eventually hooked, the match was transformed. At that moment it was 0-0, but only Snr Garrido and his dopy linesman, Aitor Prieto, know why.

cellent Suso whipped in a right-wing cross. Aridane lumbered to meet it but missed it. As did every Castilla defender.

But Chechu knew what was happening.

He deftly volleyed the ball past Pacheco and into the top right-hand corner. It was a beauty.

The celebrations were well underway when Garrido finally blew his whistle. Prieto’s flag was up and Chechu let out the widest of smiles.

He was five yards onside and that meant Aridane had to have been.

But to my eyes, he didn’t touch the ball and so, was not interfering with play. Either Prieto has Superman vision or he guessed. And the law still gives the benefit to the attacking side.

In short, it was another shocker, but the referring Gods would level that one up a bit later.

Ayoze is a little pocket rocket. There is no doubt he has the tools and a big future. He is great on the ball, as all Spanish kids are, and he loves a trick. But he REALLY loves a trick.

We all know the type of players who can’t just pass the ball 10 yards.

It has to be a drag-back and the outside of the boot.

Boy is he annoying, but he is a proper play-

er. And young. He would need ID to get into Playskool.

One of the problems Tenerife have had this year is their predictability. Everyone knows how Cervera sets his sides up, and all the players are grizzled veterans who, while capable, are set in their ways. It’s the unknowns that kill a team.

A couple of years back, Tenerife fans saw Iriome storm on to the scene and rip teams apart.

Ditto Omar.

The true test of the talent is three or six months down the line, once the word is out.

Ayoze is still a pup and under the radar. Well not the Real Madrid radar as they will be watching him now.

They already have one great Tenerife prospect in Omar Mascarell (who was EXCELLENT on Sunday) and they will be keeping tabs on Ayoze after he ran Castilla ragged.

It took him just five minutes to make his mark with a goal that owed everything to his perseverance.

The ball over the top seemed harmless enough, with Pulido facing his own goal. For some reason, keeper Pacheco also fancied it and he tore out of his box. Meanwhile, Ayoze was picking up pace.

It seemed as though first the defender, then the goalie, would meet the ball. But from nowhere Ayoze kicked like Frankel.

He stuck a leg out and diverted the ball away from Pacheco and, as he lengthened, he was always going to win the foot race with Pulido to knock the ball into the unguarded net.

Castilla complained and complained - only they know for what while the Tenerife players swarmed around the youngster.

Over the next 40 minutes, Ayoze would be everything Borja wasn’t.

He could and maybe should have ended up with the match ball but, as it turned out, one goal was enough.

JUST enough, because Castilla felt they should have had a late penalty.

Benavente had the ball on the right wing and flew to the byline. Llorente was watching him like a hawk as the winger invited the challenge.

He deftly brought the ball onto his left foot, nipped into the area, found Llorente’s tackle and sprawled on to the lush turf. My first reaction was penalty.

After watching the first replay, it looked a certain penalty. By the fourth showing, it was a stonewall spot-kick.

Thankfully Mr Magoo, aka Linesman Prieto, kept his flag down - and the unsighted ref kept his whistle in his pocket.

Who says two wrongs don’t make a right?

This weekend, Tenerife travel to face league leaders Recreativo as coach Alvaro Cervera comes up against his old side for the first time since he left 18 months ago.

The story has gone down in football folklore. In brief, he was on the team bus as they prepared to make a long coach journey of over 500 miles. Halfway through the journey, he got a phone call asking him if he wanted to manage La Liga’s Racing Santander.

Two hours later, the bus pulled into a motorway service station. Cervera got off, jumped into a car and was driven to Santander to sign a contract.

Let’s just say he might not get a warm welcome home!

Clash of the Titans!

I MENTIONED last week that Target Army were having a fine season.

Oops!

Commentator’s curse.

Bar 180 A bashed The Pub 6-2, with Richard firing in his third and fourth maximums of the season.

A tight match in Los Abrigos saw Phoenix Bar take the trebles leg to beat local rivals La Caña Pirates, while Palms Sports Bar made light work of Vikings Ensecan.

Another in-house derby produced a 6-2 win for the Naturals over the Playboys, and the relegation battle between Scruffy Macs and Gaffers A did neither side any good as it ended 4-4. Rood con-

A few weeks ago their stablemates, Target Titans, held the Army boys to a 4-4 draw. This time, they went one better and beat them 5-3.

It proves, once and for all, that these in-house derby matches are played with complete honesty. At the Premier League summit, PRemier division ResultS

tinue to lead Division 1.

The journey back from Callao was a little easier after they took six points from Barracuda Bytes.

A 7-1 thumping for Chipeque over Amistad 1 keeps them in the hunt, although Emerald Lounge’s 5-3 victory against Nauta puts them firmly in contention for a top-three finish.

Having won just three out of the last eight, Bar 180 C have now been overtaken by Bar 180 B. A home defeat

by Trap Door and a 7-1 success at Marilyns for

the B string was the reason.

After a first defeat last week, Tenerife Sun banished any thoughts of a slump as they brushed aside Bar 180 D. There was one consolation for the losing side, however, because Ian checked out on 117 to hold the highest finish in the Division 2 section.

Second-place Emerald Shamrocks almost slipped up at Pas O Nadas. The 5-3 win for the San Blas outfit came via a last-gasp trebles leg. The final

rubber also came to the aid of La Caña Lancers as they squeezed past Barracuda Hunters, while last week’s giant-killers, Picassos, finished all-square with Amistad 2.

And finally, Ourplace Playgirls can’t seem to buy a win from anywhere. Or even a draw for that matter! But they did manage to take three points from a decent Rebels team.

Keep it going girls!

This Friday we take a break from league action as the John Lowe Team Handicap competition comes around.

Alonso’s special football date NEW Tenerife Cabildo President Carlos Alonso attended Saturday’s second annual “Football for All” project at the Heliodoro Stadium.

The event, which attracted nearly 100 people, was sponsored by Spanish brewers Mahou-San Miguel and Adecco Foundation, a company which promotes the

integration of disabled people and specialises in finding work for them.

Alonso was joined by Sports Minister Christ Perez, as well as César Javier Rodriguez, director of Mahou’s production centre, Rafael GonzálezCoviella, marketing manager of the company in the Canary Islands, and Rocio Lopez, an Adecco Foundation consultant.

Of more importance to the youngsters taking part, perhaps, was the presence of CD Tenerife

4th October - 10th October 2013

players Aitor, Alberto, Ayoze and Oscar Rico, along with team coach Alvaro Cervera and sporting director Quique Medina.

The project included shooting, ball-control, dribbling and other activities to promote co-ordination and teamwork.

The end product is, hopefully, that all the participants will develop the right attitudes and values to ​​ enable them to integrate into society and, ultimately, into the Island’s workforce.

Ripples as Raspberry shears Sheepy!

THE writer’s curse landed squarely on the shoulders of La Caña A after last week’s writeup, their unbeaten record going up in smoke.

Treehouse A have made a fine start to life in the top flight, and they were on the bunny right from the start.

There had been banter for weeks between the two sides and Treehouse made the best possible start as Peg Leg Greg, aka Raspberry, beat Sheepy.

This gave the hosts confidence, and they quickly took control of the match. La Caña missed some pots and, with Treehouse taking their chances, the result was never in doubt. When Warren beat Sheepy again, the game was up.

The 8-4 win rockets Treehouse A into the top half of the table.

And with some tough games to come, it will be interesting to see how La Caña A bounce back.

Champions Tenerife Hammers A produced what was arguably their best display of the season to put Phoenix Potters in their place.

Their lightning start was the key to the match as Potters failed to get into any sort of groove.

Gaffers A, who could be Hammers A’s biggest title challengers, were excellent in beating Palms A 9-3.

Hat-tip of the week goes to Tenerife Hammers C, and Ken in particular. They had been on a dreadful run, yet they stunned Phoenix Knights 7-5 with Ken winning all three matches.

He had lost his previous eight frames and secured the win by beating Adi. Talking of Adis, Terrace A’s Bendover Benson did the captain’s job by winning the deciding frame against Peacocks.

His lads were 4-5 down, but they forged ahead and left the skipper a chance for glory.

He somehow beat Carl, who had won his first two frames of the night, to steal a massive three points.

Exiles A are in great shape after another eye-catching win.

Dreamers A were their latest prey, and the lads are proving a real asset.

James Place, with seven from seven, lead the way in Division Two. Treehouse B were their latest victims, and the La Caleta crew might take some catching.

Inn The Pink B lead the chasing pack after whitewashing the Cosy Corner girls, and Palms B were delighted to re-

turn to Torviscas with a 9-3 win at Terrace B, who had a strange week.

Fin’s lads also won comfortably against a Cosy Corner A side who were biffed by Bar 13 as well.

But 2JZ’s are still unbeaten after edging a thriller at Bluebell B, while Hoppys are also clear in the loss column.

The 7-5 win over Exiles B was thanks, in part, to Blair losing all three frames.

A winter World Cup?

THE 2022 Qatar World Cup organisers say they are willing to stage the tournament in the winter to avoid footballers playing in the country’s scorching summer months.

A two-day meeting of FIFA’s Executive Committee to discuss the issue at their Zurich headquarters began yesterday (Thursday). And even before they sat down, football’s world governing body officials said they would not object to the move, even though it would cause major

Page 54

disruptions to British and European domestic leagues, whose seasons traditionally end before the World Cup begins.

Qatar authorities are adamant they could still cater for the summer spectacular, even though temperatures exceed 40C, by fitting stadiums with cooling systems, powered by renewable energy.

But a Qatar spokesman, representing their 2022 Supreme Committee, said: “If the international football community reaches a consensus to

move the event to an alternate date, we are able to accommodate that change.

“This would not affect our planning and preparation. Our commitment to cooling technologies will continue because, without it, certain parts of the world will be denied the right to host such events.”

The meeting will have already been discussing how best to avoid Qatar’s searing, Middle East heat of June and July.

Sky’s Sports Correspondent Paul Kelso be-

lieves a move to November to avoid a clash with the Winter Olympics is the most likely outcome.

He added: “From the moment the tiny Gulf state was chosen, it was as clear as the Zurich mountain air that it would be problematic at best, and a catastrophic folly at worst.

“It should not have needed experts to explain that playing the world’s greatest football tournament in the desert in summer was lunacy, but FIFA commissioned it anyway.”

Greg Clarke, chairman of the Sky Bet Football League and part of England’s unsuccessful attempt to stage the 2018 World Cup, said the tender to host the 2022 tournament should now be re-run.

“There were some really good bids from places like Australia and the US, who spent a lot of money, have a great footballing culture and really wanted to run the World Cup,” he said. They were excluded on the grounds that it was going to be in the summer, and that it was

going to be in Qatar. “If I were them, I would be less than happy if FIFA are now changing the rules.”

European rulers UEFA’s 54-member associations have already backed the principle of a winter World Cup, championed by the organisation’s respected President, Michel Platini.

He has already he did not expect a decision this week, adding that he was more concerned with an investigation which uncovered alleged mistreatment of migrant workers in Qatar.
