Taxi Turmoil!

Taxi drivers geared up to go to Santa Cruz

THE Island’s transport system was disrupted on Wednesday as the taxi network ground to a halt.

More than 500 cabbies went on strike in the South alone in protest about unfair competition from illegal taxi operatives.

And, as a result of their actions, Tenerife Cabildo has agreed to introduce tough new controls on illegal operators.

It was impossible to catch a cab on Wednesday between 8am and midnight as taxi drivers backed a one-day strike.

As the day wore on the position worsened, with many people unaware of the strike.

There was chaos at the airport, with passengers literally stranded

there, relying solely on the overcrowded public transport system much to the chagrin of some.

Adeje taxi representative Pedro Fumero told Canarian Weekly: “The reason for the disruptive action is that the taxi sector is run as cooperatives and associations.

“We’ve had enough of the intrusion from illegitimate, so-called taxi operators. In addition, our drivers feel that we’re not being listened to.

“And we’re not receiving sufficient support from the Government to control the situation, especially at the airports.”

The taxi sector claims that there are countless cases of intrusion made by private vehicles, leisure and recreation, hotels, and other transport companies who, they say: “Ignore the regulations and

1st November - 7th November 2013

roam around the whole Island without anyone to put a stop to their activities.”

Bona fide cabbies in Tenerife are registered, pay insurance, pay taxes, belong to a co-operative and keep their vehicles spotless.

They depend on the Island’s tourist industry for their livelihood, and they support, it is estimated, some 4,000

families. Drivers in the South gathered at an industrial estate in Granadilla before driving their convoy of vehicles to the Island’s capital, Santa Cruz, in an attempt to make the authorities realise the seriousness of the matter.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Palacio Noble, home to Tenerife Cabildo, where

their plight was heard by councillors in the afternoon.

A meeting took place between Vice-President, Aurelio Abreu and Mobility Insular Director Manuel Ortega, and representatives of the taxi drivers from the main tourist resorts.

As a result, the Cabildo has confirmed that it will support the taxi sector.

Together with sector representatives, an action plan has been agreed, which will be implemented immediately in an attempt to eradicate the illegal taxis in operation throughout Tenerife.

The Cabildo is committed to strengthening its inspections, and creating co-ordinated efforts between local police and municipalities.

In addition, a joint technical committee will be set up to act as a go-between. It will meet on a weekly basis, and it starts immediately.

The Cabildo says it is determined to get tough against uninsured and illegal airport transfers.

If the agreed action plan does not come to fruition, then further action is planned by the cabbies on Friday, 15th November -another busy “changeover” day at the airport.

America’s Spanish spy spree revealed AMERICA’S National Security Agency is said to have spied on Spanish citizens via more than 60 million mobile phone calls and text messages sent between them.

The information was supplied in articles written by US citizen Glenn Greenwald, who published the findings of former CIA analyst and whistleblower Edward Snowden in The Guardian.

Greenwald left the British broadsheet

newspaper more than two weeks ago, and his article on Spain was published in El Mundo.

According to the reports, denied by the NSA, information taken from the phone calls and messages included the identity and telephone numbers of both the caller and recipient, the time of day, location of both parties, and their individual telephone’s serial number.

The contents of the calls and messages, sent and received between December 2012 and 8th January 2013, were not recorded.

Spanish president Mariano Rajoy has deliberately maintained

a low-key response to maintain healthy relations between the two countries. Íñigo Méndez de Vigo, his Secretary of State for the European Union, rather than Foreign Affairs Minister José Manuel García-Margallo, will meet the US ambassador in Spain, James Costos, to find out more.

The US authorities are attempting to play down the scandal and its main broadsheets, the Washington Post and the New York Times, kept the alleged espionage off their front pages.

The spying issue reared again some days ago after German

broadsheets revealed that Chancellor Angela Merkel had been the victim of mobile-phone tapping for over a decade, until a few months ago.

Spying and phonetapping is illegal in Germany, but its popular weekly magazine, Der Spiegel, says the US Government decided to intercept her calls to delve into her life.

It is also thought that the NSA intercepted calls made and received by the leaders of 35 countries,.

But EU officials regard the possibility that it spied on ordinary civilians is far more serious and an “unacceptable” matter.

Henry Moore’s bronze figures Canarian Weekly Photo Challenge touring Spain! Last week’s best photo: Harry Davies Theme: Plantlife Henry Moore was an English sculptor and artist. He was best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.

Seven of Moore’s sculptures have begun a five-city tour of Spain, beginning here in Tenerife!

The bronze sculptures from the British artist’s late period include reclining figures, a mother and child and abstract works.

They will be on display in the capital’s two main squares until 1st December, then they are due to travel to Las Palmas (12 December-26 January 2014) before heading to Seville, Valencia and Bilbao on the mainland

until next summer.

Henry Moore only visited Spain once, in 1934, but the country and its art had a lasting impact.

He visited the Altamira caves, which he described as the “Royal Academy of Cave Painting”, Madrid, Toledo and Pamplona on the trip with his wife and two friends. In 1939, he created his first lithograph, Spanish Prisoner, to help raise money for the Republican prisoners of war held in French detention camps.

The sculptures now touring Spain date from 1960 to 1992 and have been selected by Anita Feldman, the head of collections and exhibitions of the Henry Moore Foundation based in Hertfordshire.

The project is a collaboration between the British foundation and the Spanish foundation, Obra Social la Caixa.

Casablanca bound ON Tuesday Tenerife celebrated its first regular flight between here and the African continent, with the arrival at Tenerife North Airport of the first aircraft on the route linking the island with Casablanca, the airline operated by Royal Air Maroc (RAM).

This new route is the result of intensive meetings held by the Cabildo president, Carlos Alonso, and the Minister for External Affairs insular Cabildo, Delia Herrera, with the Minister of Transport of Morocco, Abdelaziz Rabbah and the president of that company Driss Benhima.

Depending on passenger numbers of the current flight, RAM will consider increasing the frequency up to five days a week in the future.

During the reception, Carlos Alonso welcomed the start of this route “which shows the commitment of the RAM with the island.”

He also noted that,

through the hub, Royal Air Maroc has in Casablanca, “we open a gateway to the African continent as it can link to more than 20 African capitals and more than 55 international destinations operating with this airline.”

The President of the Cabildo said that the new connection will allow us to not only attract Moroccan tourism but also “promote economic and trade exchanges.”

Meanwhile, Al Hassani said the company forecasts flight occupancy of 65 percent in the first months of operation, a figure expected to increase by next summer.

From the point of view of tourism, they are already working on specific promotional campaigns aimed at attracting Moroccan tourism, while at the enterprise level, Chamber of Commerce of Santa Cruz de Tenerife are promoting another package of actions to promote to businesses.

Exposaldo

Prepare yourself for next week’s shopping extravaganza. The annual Exposaldo is taking place in the Recinto Ferial, Santa Cruz from the 7th until the 11th November.

The financial vicepresident and Island head of Employment and Economic Development, Efraín Medina, said that: “It is one of the most successful fairs, organised every season and will serve to give a boost to the economy of the island.”

Exposaldo Winter 2013 is the second of two annual events that take place throughout the year, helping businesses to ‘liquidate’ their stock.

Once again occupying the Recinto Ferial, 12,000 m2 of space, it will feature 140 companies and more than 200 sales points.

The Director of the event, Ricardo Palacio said, “This year you will be able to purchase tickets through the Internet, as the

council has launched the online sale of tickets through the website www. recintoferialdetenerife.com”.

The previous Exposaldo was visited by 39,176 people. “Our goal is to avoid long queues and offer convenience and speed to visitors.”

Efraín Medina explained that the demand has been increasing every year, with most businesses selling all their stock, which can only be a good thing.

Tenerife man dies in Island plane crash

A TENERIFE flying instructor perished with a trainee pilot and a passenger when their light aircraft crashed in Gran Canaria on Monday.

The plane had left Gando Airport, in Las Palmas, for a two-hour flight at 8.45pm, and the control tower’s last communication came from the instructor 43 minutes later. The air-base was alerted 30 minutes afterwards.

The aircraft crashed into a rock-face about four kilometres south of Agaete, and about 500m above sea-level, in the Tamadaba pine forest.

It is an extremely difficult area to reach - in the north-west of the island.

An air-rescue team reached the plane the following morning, but it had been smashed to pieces by the rocks and all three were found dead.

News In Brief Eye-opener for Scots

TENERIFE TOURISM has recently developed an important link with Scotland, running a promotion in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen. And 50 travel agents received

specific training related to the Island. They were all from Barrhead Travel, and the intention was to update them of the activities available for visitors over here. Barrhead Travel is Scotland’s largest independent travel agency, with around 750 employees and a network of 55 locations.

Dogs to take the metro

DOGS will be allowed on the Barcelona metro from next year, possibly by next summer.

Certain restrictions will apply, including having to keep the dog on a non-extendible lead and muzzled. And smaller animals must be carried in cages. The move will bring Barcelona in line with other European cities, including Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam and Geneva.

Dogs cannot be brought on to trains during the rush-hours or during planned large social events or demonstrations, for safety reasons.

Green-fingered couple caught

GUARDIA Civil officers in Adeje have charged a couple with growing marijuana.

The 58-year-old woman and a man aged 50, both Italian nationals and residents of Adeje, are believed to have built a laboratory at home for processing the plant. Police seized 1,550 grams of the drug and the case has now been referred to the Arona Court.

Squatters pinched for burglary

A COUPLE have been arrested on suspicion of theft and burglary from the El Fraile house in which they appeared to be squatting.

The owner is away travelling, and they were discovered by the caretaker.

The couple left the house, taking with them, allegedly, a television, two video game consoles, a desktop computer and two cardboard boxes full of clothes.

World Travel Market for us

TENERIFE will again be showcasing its wares at the World Travel Market in London from Monday.

This is the 34th annual edition of the event, at the Excel Exhibition Centre.

The Canary Islands’ stand has changed slightly to align with the strategy of the “best climate in the world”.

It features a spectacular cover around warm colours and a pavement that makes a clear allusion to the beach sand on the archipelago.

New British Ambassador is now at home in Madrid SIMON MANLEY has succeeded Giles Paxman as Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain and nonresident Ambassador to Andorra.

Mr Manley. a member of the UK’s Diplomatic Service since 1990, said on arrival in Madrid: “I look forward to strengthening our broad and deep bilateral relationship.

“Spain is a key ally within the European Union and NATO, and is one of our most important trading partners. Creating sustainable growth is a priority for both the UK and Spain.

“I’m delighted that some 400 Spanish companies are registered in the UK, and that investors such as Santander, Telefónica, Iberdrola and Ferrovial have made Spain our sixthlargest inward investor, totalling £40 billion of Foreign Direct Investment stock at the end of 2011.

“Meanwhile, British companies exported £8.27bn (9.7bn euros) of goods and service to Spain, making it the UK’s eighth-largest export market.”

The new Ambasador said he was looking forward to meeting and working with companies in both Spain and the UK, whether established investors or new entrants keen to secure a foothold in their respective markets.

“I am excited by the prospects for co-operation and growth in sectors like energy, car manufacturing and life sciences that are so

important for future growth,” he added.

“Liberalising trade both within the European Union and beyond it is a vital enabler to create jobs and growth.

“As two open economies with strong Atlantic ties, the UK and Spain share a common commitment to secure an ambitious trade agreement between the EU and the US, and to ensure that the EU is at the forefront of moves to free up world trade.”

Mr Manley also highlighted the importance of British citizens in Spain, saying: “More than 13 million Britons visit Spain every year, generating 1% of Spain’s GDP. “Some 800,000 have made Spain their home permanently, or for part of the year, and the UK remains the largest foreign investor in Spain’s property market.

“I’m impressed by how the British Consulates across Spain work with Spanish partners to do an excellent job

of assisting British nationals.”

Before his posting to Madrid, Simon Manley was Director Europe at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) from 2011 to 2013.

He was responsible for policy towards the EU, the UK’s bilateral relations with its European partners, and the FCO’s network of 57 European posts and more than 2000 staff.

The British Ambassador served previously as the FCO’s Director Defence and Strategic Threats (2008-2011), leading the Government’s international counter-terrorist, counter-proliferation and counter-narcotics efforts, as head of Counter-Terrorism Policy (2006-2008) and as head of the EU Economic, Central Europe and Ireland department (20022006).

He was posted to the UK’s Mission to the United Nations in New York (1993-1998), where he worked on Yugoslavia and UN reform, and has

twice been seconded to the European Union: to the European Commission (2003), working on State Aids policy, and to the Council of the EU (1998-2002), working on Russia and Ukraine and then East Asia.

Mr Manley was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in The Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2009 and a Commander of the Polish Order of Merit in 2004.

He read Modern History at Magdalen College, Oxford and International Relations at Yale University Graduate School.

He is married to Maria Isabel Fernandez Utges Manley, an intellectual property, competition and regulatory lawyer.

They have three daughters aged 13, 12 and 5.

Six perish in mine disaster SIX men suffocated and five others were rushed to hospital in a critical condition in Spain’s worst mining accident.

The tragedy happened on Monday in the central region of Castilla y León, where the men, aged 35-45, perished in

a gas leak at the Emilio del Valle mine in Pola de Gordón, in the León province. The worstaffected of the five injured is a 42-year-old.

He is in intensive care at León hospital on a lifesupport machine and heavily sedated, but medics are “optimistic and hopeful that he will recover.

Two others, aged 40

and 55, are now out of intensive care and have been moved to n a “halfway-house” ward. They are said to be progressing well and in a stable condition.

Another two, aged 38 and 43, are now on a regular ward and are expected to be discharged shortly The tragedy was caused by a methane

gas leak, which, experts say, usually happens when vegetable matter buried very deeply produces carbon.

They say the gas at such a great depth between 600-700m at the León n mine - compresses considerably.

It probably leaked out after coming into contact with machinery used by the pit workers.

It’s true! We’re out of recession SPAIN’S first quarterly economic growth since 2011 confirmed last week’s promising estimates from the Bank of Spain.

According to data from the country’s National Statistics agency INE, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 0.1% in the JulySeptember period, after shrinking for the previous nine quarters.

And that, officially, means the country is out of recession.

As has been publicised frequently, Spain was one of the countries worst-hit by the global economic crisis, with street riots and soaring unemployment.

The INE said an increasing number of exports supported the growth, with a touristsector boost from holi-

day-makers turning to Spain and the Canaries rather than risk going to trouble-hit northern Africa and the Middle East.

Ben May, economist at Capital Economics, said the growth was encouraging. And he cited business surveys which suggested there “may be more to come in the near term”.

Mr May said: “However, domestic demand

1st November - 7th November 2013

is still contracting and, against that backdrop, it’s hard to see a strong and sustained recovery.”

Spain’s economy had been on the wane since its property bubble burst in 2008.

Banks needed Government bail-outs from other European countries to survive, after they were left with bad debts amounting to hundreds of billions of euros. Since

then, Spain has also endured the highest level of unemployment in Europe, at 26%.

There have been huge street protests in response to government austerity cuts, and thousands of businesses have gone bust.

But optimistic ministers recently predicted the end of the recession was near, insisting the country’s reforms and cuts were paying off.

Grand scrappage scheme continues SPAIN’S cash incentives for trading in old cars - a scrappage scheme will be continued by the Spanish Government.

And Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria has revealed details of the fourth such scheme in a year.

The 1,000-euro subsidy, which must be matched by a discount from the dealership, will be made available to purchase new cars costing 25,000 euros or less.

To make the exchange,

you have to trade in a vehicle aged 7-10 years for a more fuel-efficient model.

The previous three plans, all of which exhausted their funding because of its huge success, helped towards to the purchase of 300,000 new vehicles.

The latest scheme, involving incentives worth 70 million euros, will be available for six months – or, as Saenz de Santamaria said, until the money runs out!

La Gomera’s film ship has sailed in THE ship playing a starring role in American director Ron Howard’s The Heart of the Sea film in La Gomera has arrived at the island.

It is based on a true story, as was the classic novel Moby Dick. But Howard is adamant that his film is not a remake of that film In the new film, the whaleship Essex is attacked by a sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean.

And the story which unfolds is based on the actual events of 1820. when the crew were stranded at sea for 90 days, thousands of miles from home.

Fernando Mendez, La Gomera Councillor for Tourism, said the film would be a great promotional tool for the island, where a fishing village is being constructed for the film at Playa de Santiago, Alajeró.

TENERIFE LOOKING FOR THE HARD ROCK STARS

Hard Rock Café is due to open in Tenerife, and the franchise is in search of the most talented ‘Rock Stars’ to fill just over one hundred job vacancies in the south of the island.

A whole rang of positions are available from bar staff to kitchen staff and support personnel.

Due to the number of positions and candidates, two recruitment days will be held on Sunday and Monday from 10am2pm and 4-8pm in the congress centre of the Piramide de Arona.

Interested candidates should arrive at the specified times with their CV and photograph.

Hard Rock Cafe Tenerife is located in the so-called Golden Mile, in the municipality of Arona.

It is part of the Mare Nostrum Resort it has two floors, magnificent terraces,

private rooms and a fantastic Rock Shop, and stage equipped with everything needed to host first-rate performances, complete with Hard Rock cafe memorabilia.

With a total of 170 venues in over 50 countries, Hard Rock International is one of the world’s most globally recognized brands.

Beginning

with an Eric Clapton guitar, Hard Rock owns the world’s greatest collection of music memorabilia, which is displayed at its locations around the globe.

Hard Rock is also known for its collectible fashion and music-related merchandise, Hard Rock Live performance venues, and Hard Rock Hotels & Casinos located around the world.

Begun by two American guys in London in 1971 who just wanted a good hamburger, a little semblance of home, Hard Rock Cafe has grown to be a destination for millions of people around the world, whether they are on vacation or just out for dinner with the family.

The now famous logo was actually created by celebrity artist Alan

Aldridge, who’s best known for his work with the Beatles. It was based on Isaac’s idea to model it after the simple design of Chevrolet’s car hood ornament.

In 1979 Eric Clapton, one of rock’s most incredible and enduring guitar gods, was a regular of the Hard Rock Cafe in London. Eric asked Isaac to hang his guitar over his favorite bar stool to

“mark his spot.” A week later, a package arrived with a guitar and a note that stated, “Mine’s as good as his! Love, Pete.” Pete was, in fact, the one and only Pete Townshend, guitarist extraordinaire for The Who. The first Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was opened in Las Vegas, just off of the Vegas Strip in 1995. Now, there are 18 hotels & 8 casinos, including the brand new Panama Megapolis location and the all-inclusive resorts in Cancun and Vallarta, Mexico. The hotels offer more than just luxurious accommodations. There, they bring the rock star fantasy to life.

2011……40 years! Not many companies can say that they’ve been in business four decades.

Hard Rock, however, isn’t just any company.

They’ve been going strong for the past 40 years, adapting to the times and changing when change demands.

They aren’t looking back, though. They’re looking forward to the next 40 years and beyond!!!

Norwegian Airline’s new base is Tenerife The Airline Norwegian continues its expansion in Europe with the announcement of a new base of operations in Tenerife.

Page 8

Along with a new crew base, Norwegian expands its Spanish route network by adding more destinations and frequencies.

The new base at Tenerife South Airport (TFS) is Norwegian’s fourth in Spain, along with

Alicante, Malaga and Las Palmas.

“Our new base at Tenerife is established to meet the great demand for quality flights at a low fare between Europe and this beautiful island. We see a major passenger potential between Spain, Germany and UK. The great response to our routes between Spain and the Nordic also encourages us to increase frequencies to our existing route map,” says Norwegian’s CEO Bjorn Kjos.

Until 31st December, Norwegian will operate four weekly flights between Tenerife and London, and daily flights from here to London from 31st January 2014.

The new island base will generate 1,600 jobs. It will connect the island with a total of 16

European destinations.

The president of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, explained that “this will be a total of 170,000 new air seats and generating 1,600 jobs, both direct and indirect, as a result of the expected increase in arrival of

passengers to the island.” Carlos Alonso continued that the estimated economic impact “will be around 28.9 million just in its first year of operation.”

The new base will have a permanent presence in the south. In the

summer it will allow the Island to be connected for the first time with the Nordic countries during the summer months, resulting in an expected positive impact on tourist arrivals from that source.

Be a night hawk - and save these rare chicks THE Cory’s Shearwater, large seabirds which live on the water and visit the land to nest only, breed on islands and cliffs.

Their chicks first leave the nest at night, especially when there is a new moon and, for some reason, they have taken a shine to the coastal regions of the Island.

So, between 10pm1am tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday, when there is a full moon, the chicks will be fleeing their nests by the dozen for the first time.

It will be their maiden flight at sea, but, unfortunately, many become disorientated by household and street lights and never even get as far as the coast.

That is why a plea has again gone out to all residents to reduce or switch off their lights

during this period to help save some chicks.

The Blackout for the Cory’s Shearwater

1st November - 7th November 2013

(“Noche en negro por la Pardela Cenicienta) is now an annual event.

And Esther Rivero

Vargas, who heads the Adeje’s Department of Environment and Sustainable Development,

is anxious for people to help preserve this rare species.

“We are asking for the

co-operation of all citizens to reduce light intensity in the areas in which the birds nest, mainly near coastal cliffs,” she said. “But they can also can be found in barrancos (ravines)” The council has sent out a letter to hotels in Costa Adeje, informing them of the situation and requesting their co-operation in the black-out because the response and been good in previous years, and the campaign has been successful.

Last year, 115 disorientated Shearwater chicks were recovered, while 221 were rescued in 2011 and 204 in 2010.

If you do come across a disoriented or injured Shearwater chick, please call Adeje’s Local Police during night hours. During the day, contact Civil Protection Adeje or the Tahonilla Centre for Wildlife Recovery, if found near the beach or shore.

Past 60? You must be rolling in it now IT seems as though you have to be in your 60s to be a multimillionaire in Spain.

The most recent Forbes List, which gives the names, ages, fortunes and professions of the country’s 100 richest people, suggests the average age for the extremely wealthy is 66.

A total of 13 are aged over 80, and although 23 are actually under 50, they are lower down the rankings with 10 of them being between numbers 70 and 79.

Inditex founder Amancio Ortega, 79, is still the wealthiest man in Spain. He is also the richest in Europe and third worldwide, behind Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim and Microsoft magnate Bill Gates.

His late wife, Rosalía Mera, who was 69 when she died earlier this year from a brain haemorrhage, continues to fea-

ture on the list, at No2, making her Spain’s richest woman.

She was the co-founder of the Inditex chain - along with her ex-husband Amancio. Their empire includes budget high-street clothing stores Zara, Bershka, Pull&Bear and Stradivarius, underwear retailer Oysho, interiors firm Zara Home, and mid-upper high-street outlets Massimo Dutti and Uterqüe.

Despite being Spain’s wealthiest woman, Rosalía dedicated most of her time to a foundation for the disabled, given that her son was born an invalid and

broke away from Inditex many years ago.

This means her fortune is based upon the shares she still holds in the company she helped set up. But her life was dedicated to charity until the end.

Third on the list is 63-year-old Mercadona supermarket founder Juan Roig, and fourth is Isak Andic, 59, who owns high-street clothing retailer Mango.

Alicia and Esther Koplowitz, aged 58 and 59 and both construction company directors - the latter holding a 53.9% share in building and maintenance giant FCC - both appear in the top

20, at Nos 7 and 20 respectively.

The main sources of fortune appear to be construction, and investments, as well as property or hotel chains.

Only one is under 40, but does not appear in the top 20, which is the only list yet to have been made public.

It contains 11 women, of whom five are in the top 20 - the Koplowitz sisters, Rosalía, plus 66-year-old Helena Revoredo, boss of Prosegur security systems company at No10, and 56-year-old María del Pino y Calvo Sotelo, construction tycoon, at 15th.

The number of millionaires in Spain increased by 47,000 last year and it is estimated that the fortunes of the top 100 would wipe out poverty in the country four times over.

Members of the Royal family do not feature in Spain’s 100 richest citizens.

Tax on foreign house-buyers?

GEORGE OSBORNE may impose new taxes on foreign property investors to combat the housing price “bubble” in London and the South East.

Britain’s Chancellor is investigating the possibility of a capital-gains levy on foreigners who own British property.

The Treasury has, provisionally, costed the measures and is awaiting a final decision from Mr Osborne.

While those living in Britain have to pay capital gains tax (CGT) of 18% or, more commonly, 28%, if they make a profit when reselling all but their main home, non-resident propertyowners pay nothing – no matter how many places they own.

Britain’s generous regime is thought to be one of the factors behind the sharp increase in foreign ownership of London properties.

House prices there rose

by nearly 9% in August, compared with around 2% elsewhere in the UK, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Fast-rising property prices have fuelled fears about a housing bubble in “prime” n areas such as Kensington and Chelsea, where the average home is now worth almost 30 times the average local salary.

The price increases

have, in part, been driven by foreign investment, with around 70% of the most expensive London newly-built properties being bought by non-UK citizens, Estate agents Knight Frank calculate that 65% of overseas buyers intend to rent their London properties rather than live in them.

At the moment, these buyers do not pay tax

on profits if they go on to sell the property.

But under fund-raising plans being considered by Mr Osborne, even overseas buyers would become liable for CGT - as they are in many other European countries.

According to the Treasury’s own internal research, the tax would be unlikely to raise significant sums - tens of

millions rather than billions. But it would at least address concerns that overseas investors might enjoy favourable treatment when it comes to property investment.

In last year’s Budget, the Chancellor introduced a series of annual charges on foreign investors who attempt to avoid paying taxes by holding proper-

ties through so-called ‘wrapper’ companies.

The charges have brought in more revenue than expected, which is likely to be outlined at next month’s Autumn Statement.

But though imposing new capital gains taxes on overseas investors might address concerns about a destabilising influx of cash into the capital, some ministers fear they would undermine the Government’s message of keeping Britain “open for business”.

Others are worried that they would cause a sharp fall in foreign demand for London property, which, in turn could undermine the broader UK housing market ahead of the next election.

The Prime Minister’s spokesman said it was “speculation” to talk of a tax to tackle a London housing bubble.

But he added: “We need a range of approaches on housing which recognise that, in large parts of the country, the value of homes has barely increased.”

New horsemeat scandal THE horsemeat scandal which rocked Ireland, Britain and the rest of Europe earlier this year has returned.

A batch of canned sliced beef found to contain horse DNA has been withdrawn from sale at two UK chains.

The product was manufactured in Romania in January, said the

Page 12

Food Standards Agency (FSA), and it supplied to Home Bargains (TJ Morris Ltd) and Quality Save stores.

The FSA statement confirmed that the 320g packs were described on the label as ‘Food Hall Sliced Beef in Rich Gravy’ and contained between 1% and 5% horse DNA. Routine testing, carried out by Lincolnshire County Council trading standards officer, re-

vealed the presence of horsemeat.

But the product, when tested for the presence of the veterinary painkiller phenylbutazone, known as bute, gave a negative reading.

The cans were withdrawn, because horsemeat was not identified in the ingredients list.

While the affected batch, which had a January 2016 “best-before” date, was withdrawn from sale, the FSA said

customers who had bought any cans could return them to the store of purchase.

It revives painful memories for the grocery industry following the public outcry earlier this year over the presence of horsemeat in everyday products.

Horsemeat contamination was first revealed in January by officials in the Irish Republic. The resulting food crisis then spread across Europe as

consumers demanded to know what was actually in the products they were buying.

Some butchers used the furore as a new marketing tool, while independent butchers tried to coax back custom at the height of the scandal.

Several supermarket products and school dinners across the UK were found to contain horse DNA - resulting in plunging sales of many ready-made meals such

as burgers. A report by a committee of MPs in July criticised the testing regime, but it acknowledged that horsemeat contamination was limited to a “relatively small” number of beef products - with 99% of tests finding no evidence of equine flesh present.

The ministers demanded the FSA ensure that labelling gave consumers the information they needed.

Lamenda’s lament as her flight of fancy turns sour A BRITISH woman heading for a dream holiday in Spain wound up in the Caribbean by mistake.

Lamenda Kingdon thought she was travelling to the Andalucía city of Granada, but she mixed it up with the island of Grenada.

The 62-year-old, had booked a flight with British Airways with the air-miles she had accumulated to see the Alhambra Palace.

It was one of the items on the “bucket list” she made after discovering in July 2012 that the breast cancer she had been diagnosed with five months earlier had spread to her brain, and has since metastasised to her lungs.

After settling back with a drink following a meal on her plane from Gatwick, Lamenda began talking to a lady sitting next to her about

her illness. But when she said she was excited about seeing the ancient Moorish palace, the woman looked horrified, telling her: “You’re not going to see it on this flight.

She promptly called

an air hostess and said: “This lady thinks she’s flying to Spain.”

Thankfully, a stunned Lamenda was able to get off the plane during a refuelling stop in Santa Lucía, and was put on a flight back

to Gatwick straight away.

British Airways treated her brilliantly, not only paying for her flight to London the onward journey to Málaga, and from there to Granada, but also including an

overnight hotel stay at Gatwick.

The airline even refunded her used airmiles, which means she has enough left over for her next dream trip, to New Zealand.

“I noticed on the tick-

et that it said ‘Grenada airport’”, said Lamenda. “But I didn’t think too much about it, because I know sometimes in other countries they spell their place names differently from how we do in English.”

The best and worst UK hotel chains A new Which? survey of UK hotel chains has found a huge difference in standards, with the best scoring highly on cleanliness and customer service and the worst-rated chain offering rooms without windows.

Members told Which? of 8,267 hotel stays in the past year, and rated the 36 chains on cleanliness, customer service, bed

comfort and value for money.

Q Hotels topped the chart, achieving a full five-star rating for the cleanliness and room fixtures, with one member claiming a stay at one Q Hotel was ‘excellent in every department’. Budget hotel chain Premier Inn, offering rooms for as little as £29, came third with a customer score of 76%.

At the bottom of the table, Britannia slumped into last place, scoring a dismal customer rating of 36% and receiving just one star for cleanliness, room fixtures and value for money. Guests were surprised that rooms at some of its hotels didn’t have windows, with one person telling us they had to pay an extra £10 per night for the privilege. The most visited

chain in our survey, Travelodge, came second-last (50%), gaining just one star for the quality of its breakfast.

Which? editor Richard Headland, said: “Our survey has revealed a king-sized bed gap between the best and worst hotel chains in the UK and shows you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a decent overnight stay.”

Supermarkets drive price of petrol down ASDA has sparked a fuelprice war by trimming costs to its lowest of the year.

Ed Sheeran ?@edsheeran Tenerife sea When we saw this at CW towers we thought the Ginger singer was here....

Cha..Duh! ?@ChaSoHard NEW MUSIC: “Tenerife Sea” - Ed Sheeran And then it made more sense....

Skeeter Rodney? ?@AyeKitty Akida finally listened to Tenerife Sea and OHMYGOODNESSS And then the Tweets flooded in...

The supermarket chain has put a national cap on prices, inviting drivers to fill up at its forecourts for no more than 126.7p a litre for petrol, and 133.7p for diesel.

In a flash, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrisons also introduced reductions to spike their rival’s offer.

Sainsbury’s is cutting prices by up to 3p - its cheapest for 2½ years and Tesco will lower prices by up to 2p, as will Morrisons at most of its sites.

Motoring journalist

Quentin Willson, from campaign group FairFuel UK, said: “Don’t get excited, everybody, because we will see it go up again.

“But at least, we now have a much faster reflection of wholesale prices at the pump.

“We don’t have to wait two, three or four weeks for the fuel to come down in price when we know it goes up in a heartbeat.”

The AA has welcomed the move, saying it reflects a fall in the wholesale price of fuel. But continued uncertainty over Libyan oil production leaves the market unpredictable.

An AA spokesman said: “The average price of petrol in the UK has hovered around the 132p-a-litre mark since

mid-October, making 126.7p a very good price.”

At Leamington Spa’s Asda, motorists were delighted with the news. Susan Cooper, who drives 50 miles a day, said: “This will save me a lot of money.

It is about time we had some better news, with gas and electricity going up.”

Martin Cavanagh said: “I know oil and everything is a complicated commodity, and that’s why we get the price jumping around. Let’s hope it goes low and stays low.”

Oil analyst Richard Mallison said it was significant that retailers were passing on the fall in wholesale oil prices to consumers on the forecourt.

He told Sky News: “The biggest reason for supermarkets being able to slash prices at the pump has been the change in the dollar-topound exchange rate.

“The dollar has weakened, which has brought down the cost of oil and wholesale fuel, and that’s now being passed on.”

But Mr Mallison warned that the cutprice deals may not last long, saying: “We’ve seen the UK recovery stronger than expected, and we’ve also seen the troubles with the US shutdown and debt ceiling.

“Both of those effects might fade in terms of the exchange rate, which would then mean petrol prices starting to go up again.”

Tunisian bomber: the only casualty A SUICIDE bomber blew himself up at a Mediterranean resort popular with British holiday-makers.

The man, wearing a belt of explosives, detonated his charge near the Riadh Palm Hotel in Sousse, Tunisia, moments before security forces foiled a similar attack elsewhere.

Witnesses said the man looked as though he was about to go into the hotel when the bomb exploded.

It is believed to be

the first suicide bombing ever to take place in the country, but no one else appeared to be hurt.

Virtually at the same time, an intended suicide bomber who tried to blow himself up at the tomb of former President Habib Bourguiba in the southern city of Monastir, was captured by police.

Government spokesman Mohamed Ali Laroui said: “An attempted attack targeting the compound of the Bourguiba mausoleum was foiled, and a young man carrying explosives was

arrested.” He added that both men appeared to belong to an extremist group.

The bomber in Sousse, 90 miles south of the capital Tunis, was the only person killed in the attack.

Sousse has long been a major destination for European tourism, a sector now recovering from a catastrophic drop following the country’s 2011 revolution, which kick-started the Arab Spring.

Tunisia has been battling against unrest since the overthrow of Zine El Abidine Ben

Ali’s secular dictatorship. It has experienced the rise of a hard-line, armed Islamist movement which carried out attacks.

Earlier this year, Tunisia’s moderate Islamist government began a crackdown on Ansar al Sharia, one of the most radical groups to emerge since the uprising.

The group’s leader is a former al Qaeda veteran, who once fought in Afghanistan.

Nine police officers were killed in clashes with militants earlier this month.

Garden Bar’s Dream charity night for kids

THERE was a real party spirit at the World Famous Garden Bar in Playa Fañabe as Paul Webb (Webby), his wife Dawn and son Matt hosted a special Charity Night.

They were supporting Tenerife Sur Lions Club’s annual Dream Holidays for under-privileged and handicapped kids.

At the heart of the event was a mega raffle and auction with a huge range of prizes, including dining reservations at several top class-restaurants, Scuba Diving, Finest Scotch and many others.

There were also unique items donated by sporting and television personalities.

These included a genuine Red Bull watch; the original Billy Mitchell script for the Albert

Square Olympics episode of the BBC’s soap EastEnders, personally signed by Perry Fenwick, who plays Billy, plus a number of autographed shirts and other items from wellknown sporting personalities.

Entertainment was provided by top DJ and

singer Ray Wilde who, along with the support of guest singers Big Marc and John Doonan, ensured a lively party atmosphere among the many friends of Webby and holiday-makers.

Also present were Tenerife Sur Lions President Norman Goodall MBE, his wife Edna, Vice-President Mike Marshall and his wife Margaret.

During the evening Norman spoke about the Lions’ work and achievements, and he thanked everyone for supporting the evening.

He promised that the money raised would all go towards supporting the children’s holidays.

He also emphasised that all Tenerife Sur Li-

ons Club members were volunteers in their right and received nothing for their efforts - save the satisfaction of seeing what your support achieves in the lives of those who are less fortunate.

Dawn Webb was on hand to ensure complete impartiality of the raffle draw, the first winning ticket being chosen with the assistance of a young helper.

The raffle and auction prove to be an outstanding success and the generosity of the participants truly amazing .

Raffle prizes were offered back as auction items to raise even more

money. On top of that, Webby’s son Matt, having worked non-stop all evening, donated his entire pay and his tips for the night to the Lions.

Tenerife Sur Lions Club would like to say a big thank-you to all who took part: to Webby, Dawn and Matt, who organised the night; to all the Garden Bar staff who supported them; to Ray Wilde, Big Marc and John Doonan for the evening’s entertainment - and to everyone who took part in the events and gave so generously to make life a little better for those who can only dream.

You are the Dream Makers – Thank you!

Poor Jack has watery rescue LAST week, we were contacted by the San Miguel local police regarding a dog which had been rescued by the Fire Brigade from a water reservoir.

The poor Yorkshire terrier, aged only about 10 months, was taken for evaluation to the clinic, where he was found to be suffering from devastating injuries to his lower spine and back legs.

Paralysed, he had been dragging his legs for around a week since a suspected car accident, and had sores on the top of each foot.

Despite all this, he is sweet and loving, and we are doing everything possible to save him.

He is currently with our vet, Cesar Bertoldi, as various procedures are being attempted to give him as normal a life as possible.

One of his legs may need to be removed, and he will need a cart to get around. But there is hope. We cannot believe that, given the terrible state this animal was in, someone could actually throw him into water to drown.

It was a despicable act of cruelty and we realise that Jack, against all the odds, is lucky to be alive, He will be okay with us, and we will

SUNDAY’S Fun Curry Afternoon, organised by San Miguel Lions Club, proved to be a resounding success.

Not even the threatening weather could deter a good crowd from making their way to the Balti

Rooms curry house at Coral Mar Square, Silencio. “We all ignored it and tucked in,” said Club Secretary Ralph Solomon.

The quiz was won by Yvonne’s team after a head-to-head tiebreak - and they were delighted with their prize.

The food disappeared and the wine flowed

as they all enjoyed the music, provided by Storm Duo – and what fantastic dancers!

A big thanks from the fund-raising Lions to all who came to the event, from far and near.

Roz Jeffrey and her team from the SHE helpline will outline the work carried out by them so far.

If this date is inconvenient for you, or you want to speak to Roz again, she will be available on Saturday, 23rd November, at the South Tenerife Christian Fellowship Church, on the first floor of the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos, from 11am to 1pm.

We are pleased to announce that Accion del Sol’s assistance was requested by Arona Town Hall in catching the dogs.

Late one night, staff finally caught the two female dogs responsible for so many unwanted puppies.

They were safely installed at the refuge, where they responded extremely well to their new life without fuss.

Even better news is that one of the dogs had been micro-chipped in 2010, and refuge staff were delighted to have found the owners, who lost her during that year.

Needless to say, they are thrilled to have her back home. after such a long time.

It just goes to show that micro-chipping your pets can pay off.

Just make sure your telephone number is

Accion del Sol News

always kept up to date with Zoocan, as requested, to ensure the safe return of your pets should they go astray.

It is also a legal requirement here in Tenerife to have dogs micro-chipped anyway.

Going back to the Guaza strays, we would love to get a visit from the many people over the last 18 months who have shown an interest in this saga to see the dog we have here - and all the others.

Hopefully, Accion staff will soon catch the remaining mountain dogs to put an end to this situation.

Protection Civil has had a busy week, collecting a total of 11 dogs in one day from the streets of Granadilla.

Five puppies had been dumped in a box, while four podencos - two in an extremely emaciated state - and two other small dogs made up the total.

With so many dogs coming into the refuge daily, it is obviously a busy time here, and if you feel you can help in

any way, please call 922 778 630 for more information.

Towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs if you have any to spare, as well as puppy milk.

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

The refuge is open Monday-Friday, between 3-6pm, so pop in for a visit. And if you are considering adopting one, do visit us or call Accion del Sol on 922 778 630.

Incidentally, we are urgently looking for passengers (tourists) travelling to Berlin, Leipzig, Hamburg, Cologne, Stuttgart or Frankfurt, with Condor, Air Berlin or TUIFLY airlines, who would be willing to escort a dog .

All paperwork and dog transit is arranged and sorted out by the staff of Accion sponsors Aktiontier, and all you need is a little bit of extra time for checking in.

Remembrance Week returns to BBC One for the fourth year sharing incredible stories of courage, emotion and sacrifice in the week leading up to Remembrance Sunday.

The five-part series follows the heroic stories of several men and women who have fought and lived through past conflicts around the world ranging from the Second World War to Korea, Oman, the Falklands, the First Gulf War and Afghanistan.

The series also sees Gethin Jones travelling to Afghanistan to meet and film the honest and hard-working members of the British Armed Forces. Gethin reflects upon their duty and dedication as well as the risk they take in fighting for their country.

Powerful and moving first person accounts from those who served their country tell tales of bravery and the endurance of the human spirit. One of the people featured in the programme is Colin Anson, the son of a German Jew opposed to the Hitler regime. Colin remembers how he escaped to England and joined the British forces during the Second World War. He survived severe injuries but recovered to go in search of his mother.

Other testimonies include a veteran who, having lost comrades on the D-Day landings, describes why he feels it should have been him lying there instead; how lost limbs serve as a painful reminder of the human toll of war for both those affected and their families; and the war diary of a brave Royal Marine in Afghanistan. The series meets those left behind when their loved ones dies. Bereaved women and families who live every day with the painful memories of wars in the South Atlantic and Middle East.

The memories are poignant, often harrowing, and serve as a reminder to everyone of the bravery and dedication British troops, past and present, have undertaken in order to fight and serve their country.

In this brand new series for ITV, Christine goes in search of this side of our country that’s hidden from view - a world you can only discover if you turn off our busy main roads and follow our enchanting byways, bridleways and winding country lanes.

Former Francis Combe pupil Bernie Batchelor comes face-to-face with his mischievous 12-year-old former self; former TV presenter Marylyn Mason explains how failing the eleven-plus drove her to work harder in later life; and pioneering filmmaker John Krish, who made a documentary about this very school back in 1962, shares his memories of filming at the school.

Michael Butcher and Phil Palmer were confirmed Londoners, loft-livers in the heart of Soho, until they fell in love with Christmas Farm, near Newbury, and took the life-changing decision to quit their urban media jobs and move to the country. They faced two big problems however: first there was an agricultural tie on the land, so Phil and Michael would have to become farmers; the second problem was the uninspiring fauxalpine timber chalet serving as a farmhouse. It had to go.

Live From The National Theatre: 50 Years On Stage BBC2, 21.00

Celebrating some of the classic, popular and most powerful National Theatre performances to date, BBC Two will host the biggest night of the year for TV and theatre with Live From The National Theatre: 50 Years On Stage on.

From the comfort of their living rooms, audiences will be able to enjoy over two hours of performance live from the South Bank, as a wealth of British actors recapture some of the greatest roles in the Theatre’s history, including James Corden, Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Helen Mirren, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dame Judi Dench, Christopher Eccleston, Anna Maxwell Martin, Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, Derek Jacobi, Adrian Lester, Rory Kinnear and Dominic Cooper - to name just a few.

All the actors - participating live or in archive footage - for this spectacular event have been members of the National Theatre at some point in the last 50 years.

Dame Joan Plowright has recorded a monologue from St Joan which she played in 1963. Dame Maggie Smith will give a speech from The Beaux’ Stratagem; Charles Kay will appear in a scene from The National Health - the role he created 45 years ago - and in another of the hospital beds will lie James Hayes, who has played 37 parts for the NT – more than any other living actor (Michael Bryant holds the record at 55).

Sir Michael Gambon and Sir Derek Jacobi will take on roles in No Man’s Land, originally played by their predecessors Sir Ralph Richardson and Sir John Gielgud. Dame Helen Mirren will give again the scene where she murders her husband in Eugene O’Neill’s Mourning Becomes Electra. Benedict Cumberbatch and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith will recreate a scene from the 1967 production of Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead.

Among the pairings of great actors and great playwrights are Penelope Wilton - Alan Ayckbourn; Frances de la Tour - Alan Bennett; Simon Russell Beale, Rory Kinnear, Adrian Lester and Anna Maxwell Martin - Shakespeare; Christopher Eccleston, Ralph Fiennes and Alex Jennings - David Hare and Howard Brenton; Roger Allam - Michael Frayn; Deborah Findlay – Peter Nichols, Andrew Scott and Dominic Cooper – Tony Kushner; James Corden – Richard Bean.

And Matt meets Audrey and Roy, who have been caring for their severely disabled daughter Jane for over five decades.

Eight-part series in which Robson Green travels across his home county and discovers how this mystical place has played a unique role in shaping contemporary Britain. Robson explores the rich history of a region that has been occupied by Romans, invaded by Vikings, played a key role in the founding of English Christianity and has been the setting for many bloody battles between the English and the Scots.

In this episode, Robson ventures off the beaten path to explore the rugged wilderness of the Northumberland National Park, where he passes a night in a ramshackle shepherd’s hut - known locally as a bothy. Meeting a young shepherdess, he learns about the origins of the border collie sheepdog, and goes stargazing into a night sky that is totally unpolluted by artificial light.

MasterChef: The Professionals returns for its sixth series and chefs Michel Roux Jr and Monica Galetti along with seasoned diner Gregg Wallace begin their search for a culinary talent exceptional enough to take the 2013 coveted title. In this first half hour heat, eight ambitious chefs from all over the country begin their bid when they face their first test set

by Monica - the Invention Test.

The eight chefs are asked to make one dish using a selection of just seven ingredients: strawberries, quinoa, artichokes, watercress, mushrooms, chocolate and mascarpone. But before they get the chance, Monica cooks a dish for Gregg using the same ingredients, in the same amount of time - just one hour. It’s a terrifying demonstration of the standard of food she expects and what is possible in the time set.

After Savile: No More Secrets? Why was it so easy for paedophiles like Jimmy Savile to get away with abusing children? In other countries evidence of abuse must be reported to the authorities. But here, turning a blind eye to child abuse in a school, or a hospital, or a church is not a crime. Reporter Sanchia Berg talks to victims, police and senior figures who are now calling for Britain to change the law and uncovers secret files which show that the Government knew for decades that children’s homes and schools covered up abuse. Head teachers and governors routinely moved abusers, sending them on with a good reference, rather than call the police.

W C choice Iceland Foods: Life In The Freezer Cabinet BBC 2, 21.00 In the final episode of this entertaining series following the fortunes of Iceland supermarkets in one of its toughest years, maverick CEO Malcolm Walker is concerned the horsemeat scandal has tarnished the company’s image and cost millions in sales.

His planned relaunch of the business is now more important than ever.

In charge of the relaunch is Malcolm’s right-hand man, Nick, who’s looking for a game-changing advertising campaign to reach out to new customers. With a trendy London advertising agency pitching against septuagenarian Iceland ad veteran, Tom - the mastermind behind Iceland’s memorable Kerry Katona ads – who will get the green light to go ahead with the next campaign?

One of Malcolm’s biggest bugbears is shoplifting. The company loses £5 million to shoplifters every year, and with sales flat, staff are on orders to be extra vigilant. Passionate Head of Security, Duncan, is working on an instructional video to show staff how to catch shoplifters. Over in Tooting, Manager Sandra has already foiled a thief with a penchant for stealing legs of lamb. Now she’s turning her attention to another shoplifter with a costly habit of stealing salmon and prawn between 9.15am and 10am.

At the recently opened Swiss Cottage branch there’s a new store manager: Malcolm’s only son, Richard. After a successful career in property, Richard is deciding whether to follow his dad into the business.

But he needs to start on the shopfloor. Can Richard make a success of the new branch?

Meanwhile, in Treorchy, Wales, we meet dedicated Iceland fans Lisa and Mark, who are getting married and planning to cater their entire wedding with food from Iceland on a budget of £1.75 a head.

Chef James Martin takes to the skies to explore how the beautiful and unique landscape of the British Isles produces distinct and delicious regional ingredients. On the wild and untamed west coast of Scotland James establishes why the sheltered lochs are the perfect environment for langoustine to thrive and why Highland beef is such a lean yet flavoursome meat.

On his journey he creates a delicious soup of deep-friend langoustines and mussels in a vodka and tonic batter, and a Thai-style Highland beef salad

David Suchet stars as the world famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, alongside an exciting cast including Simon Callow (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Shakespeare in Love), Patrick Ryecart (The Kings Speech, The High Life), Rupert Evans (The Village, Fleming, World without End), Fiona O’Shaughnessy (Utopia, Outcast) Orla Brady (Sinbad, Mistresses), Morvan Christie (Hunted, Twenty Twelve), Tom Austen (Beaver Falls, The Borgias), Eleanor Tomlinson (The White Queen, Jack the Giant Slayer) and Tom Wlaschiha (Game of Thrones, Christopher and his Kind) in the television adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Labours of Hercules.

In the penultimate film Poirot falls into a deep depression, after his egotism plays a part in the murder of a society girl. It is the desperate plea of a lonely chauffeur (Tom Austen) to find his missing soul mate, which eventually motivates Poirot to get back to work. His quest takes him to the Swiss Alps where he stumbles on clues, which may lead to a very personal showdown.

Desperate to catch infamous art thief Marrascaud, the Metropolitan Police build what they imagine is a perfect trap. The Le Mesurier family is to announce the society debut of their beautiful daughter Lucinda (Lorna Nickson Brown), who will be wearing an exceptionally expensive diamond necklace. On display will be ‘Hercules Vanquishing the Hydra’, a priceless work by Marrascaud’s favourite artist Van Druys. Last but not least, the great Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) will be in attendance.

How can Marrascaud resist?

The results are catastrophic. Marrascaud pinches the painting and the jewels from beneath Poirot’s nose, leaving behind the butchered body of Lucinda. Poirot is devastated and falls into a heavy depression.

Dr Burton (Tom Chadbon) does all he can to revive the detective’s spirits, but it is not until a lonely chauffeur begs the detective to find his missing true love, the maid of a famous Russian dancer, that Poirot feels he can return to his work.

The quest for Nita takes Poirot to the Swiss Alps, where fate plays a hand: against all odds, Poirot has stumbled upon Hotel Olympos, now thought to be Marrascaud’s hideout.

Transmission: Newsflash - Stories That Stopped The World ITV1, 22.35 The programme reveals what happened behind-the-scenes on some of the most momentous breaking news events in our lifetime - as told by those caught up in the real-life drama, those in the newsrooms and those responsible for delivering these newsflashes into millions of people’s homes.

Today the world has 24-hour news channels and headlines constantly breaking on the internet - but this is the story of newsflashes remembered by millions because they interrupted the TV schedules. Television was always intended to deliver drama and surprise, but this documentary reveals how the newsflash became the most dramatic and unexpected broadcast of them all.

Contributors including Alastair Stewart, John Suchet, Mary Nightingale and Martyn Lewis, who talk about the parts they played in delivering news of these life-changing moments - such as the devastating events which took place in Lockerbie in 1988, the announcement of the start of Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf in 1991, and the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997.

The documentary also hears from former hostage Sim Harris, who was caught up in the drama being broadcast live into millions of viewers’ homes during the siege at the Iranian Embassy in London, as well as looking back at the day in 1963 when news anchor Walter Cronkite reported the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, in a newsflash that would send the United States of America into national mourning.

In Hastings, the Brett family want a self-contained teenage den in the garden and a Juliet balcony.

Sian decides that farmer Ceri might be worth ensnaring with her feminine charms - at least if he really has come into some unexpected money - and Robert is doing his best to win Megan back, much to Emlyn’s alarm. Emlyn signs up for a new house in the development, but Megan is far from pleased. And they’re not the only couple to fall out when Prem confronts Kamini over a job from Basil. But Prem’s anger is cut short when he discovers that, against his advice, Owen has gone back to work underground - with disastrous results.

Wars of the Heart.

For those who remained in London during the Second World War the Blitz was a terrifying time of sleeplessness, fear and loss, but some of London’s literary set found inspiration in the danger and intensity. With the threat of death everpresent, nerves were tested and affairs begun; it was an absolute gift for a writer seeking new material. Presenter James Runcie tells the story of novelists Grahame Greene, Henry Green and Elizabeth Bowen and American poet Hilda Doolittle, who revelled in the creative and personal freedom they discovered even as the bombs rained down.

Matt Allwright looks into the work of fraud investigators determined to catch those who steal from the public purse. And he meets the genuine claimants who deserve government help. Matt travels to south Cambridgeshire to meet the council’s fraud investigators; they have discovered that a resident in their neighbourhood may not actually be a single mum as she had told the council. As the team start looking further into her case, the potential benefit fraud goes from thousands of pounds to tens of thousands of pounds and more than one council has been cheated. We also meet a young man in desperate need of a second chance. After a traumatic early childhood Jordan was fostered aged just three years old, but as a teenager threw it all away by committing a crime that would lead him to jail. With a criminal record his future looked bleak, but would a referral to an organisation specialising in getting unemployed youngsters into the workplace give him the chance he needs?

BBC Two has announced that, following his hugely successful first series, Tom Kerridge’s Proper Pub Food will be back this Christmas with a oneoff half-hour special, Tom Kerridge Cooks Christmas.

Tom says: “Join me as I knock up my version of my favourite Christmas roast, make a fantastic seasonal game terrine and fruity and spicy alternative to Christmas pudding, all washed down with mulled cider, lush!”

Whilst Tom, the only British chef who has earned two Michelin stars by cooking in a pub, keeps it traditional at Christmas with turkey he adds his own unique twist. He’s not roasting it, he’s rolling it. He will show viewers how to fill a turkey breast with sage and onion stuffing, roll it and then cover it in a delicious crumble topping made from pistachios and dried cranberries.

To accompany the meat he demonstrates how to make the ultimate rye bread sauce and will give some great ideas on how to liven up the veg by cooking glazed carrots with star anise and sprout tops with chestnuts.

To finish the meal off Tom will make seasonal spiced orange cake with plum sauce and Christmas pudding ice cream which will all be washed down with his festive mulled cider.

Alison Kirkham, Commissioning Editor, Factual Features & Formats, says: “After regularly attracting over two million viewers a week in his first series for BBC Two the wonderfully talented Tom Kerridge will be back just in time for the most important meal of the year – Christmas dinner.

But this isn’t just any Christmas dinner, this is Christmas dinner Tom Kerridge style which means everything is pushed that little bit further to make it a real celebration feast.”

Tom Kerridge Cooks Christmas is commissioned by Alison Kirkham, Commissioning Editor, Factual Features & Formats and Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC Two. It is executive produced by Alison Kirkham for the BBC and Bridget Boseley for Outline Productions.

In the final episode Rageh Omaar explains how the collapse of this Islamic super-power following the first World War left problems that still exist in Europe and the Middle East today. From its capital in Istanbul the Ottoman Empire matched the glories of Ancient Rome. Yet its achievements have been largely lost in the trauma of its last few years.

Brutality, massacres and the carve-up of former Ottoman lands created a legacy of tension and conflict that continue to this day. The heartland of the former empire - modern day Turkey turned its back on its Islamic, Ottoman past. It underwent a social revolution led by military commander and secular visionary Mustafa Kemal- Ataturk.

So why is Ottomanism back on the political agenda? And why are many politicians in the West hoping that Turkey can provide a role model as a modern, Islamic democracy?

W C choice Don’t Panic - The Truth About Population BBC2, 21:00

Using state of the art 3D graphics and the timing of a stand-up comedian, statistician Professor Hans Rosling presents a spectacular portrait of our rapidly changing world. With 7 billion people already on our planet we often look to the future with dread, but Rosling’s message is surprisingly upbeat.

Almost unnoticed we have actually begun to conquer the problems of rapid population growth and extreme poverty. Across the world, even in countries like Bangladesh, families of just two children are now the norm meaning that within a few generations the population explosion will be over.

A smaller proportion of people now live in extreme poverty than ever before in human history and the UN has set a target of eradicating it altogether within a few decades. Rosling presents a statistical tour-de-force, including his ‘ignorance survey’ which demonstrates how British university graduates would be outperformed by chimpanzees in a test of knowledge about developing countries.

Elaine’s star still twinkling WHEN a group of cabaret acts on the Island get together and start swinging the lamp, they generally talk about days of old.

That’s when an artiste could easily pick up three gigs every night … ah, the Good Old Days!

Now, though, three shows a night is maybe a rarity, but two are the norm for some.

I arrived in Tenerife back in 1999, when there was a saturation of bars offering entertainment - and a plethora of talent from which to choose.

The only way to get work was to pound the streets and get face to face with the bookers. That hasn’t actually changed, but technology has made people lazy.

My first week consisted of watching cabaret acts in different bars to see if I was of the standard to work alongside the established performers.

The first artiste I ever saw in Tenerife was Elaine Alexander, and it was in Chicago’s, Los Cristianos.

She was most of the way through her set when I arrived, so

she already had the audience in awe.

This was my first introduction to what was probably the best female singer I would see in Tenerife. At the time, I was trying to check out the standard to see where I could slot in.

If you have been lucky enough to see and hear Elaine, you can imagine how this made me realise I would have

to be at the top of my game if I wanted to fit into this circuit.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working alongside this supremely-versatile female vocalist in various venues.

What is always noticeable about Elaine is that she always looks exceptional. I’ve mentioned this before about other artistes.

If you arrive at the

has among her peers.

Elaine, for as long as I can remember, has always been in peak form, and other singers aspire to be of the same calibre.

A few may remember “The Pink Peril”, which was Elaine’s pink moped, on which she would literally fly around South Tenerife to reach her gigs.

Since then, in the last 10 years, she has married and now has three beautiful children.

As a full-time mum and cabaret artiste, Elaine continues to succeed and wow audiences with her solo show, and she has built up a huge following.

It was hardly surprising to find out that Elaine helps singers to break into the business by assisting them with vocal coaching and song choices.

More recently, she has joined a collaboration called Boom, a vocal group formed with the boys from Tempo 2000, Cory and Stu. venue looking every They are currently bit the part, then half performing exclusively at the battle is already Restaurante Margarita, won when it comes to audience expectation.

Elaine is a current artiste and always keeps up to date with popular mainstream artistes. Quite often, she is the first to cover new songs.

This, in turn, inspires other female artistes to follow suit, and it shows how much respect she

in Los Cristianos, on a Thursday night.

This would be a good night to witness something you are not going to see anywhere else on the Island.

Elaine performs her solo show at 9pm, followed an hour later by Tempo 2000.

Then, at 11pm, Elaine and the boys become Boom.

They cover songs by The Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce & Jay Z - and songs featuring the collaborations of male and female artistes such as Calvin Harris & Rihanna.

Elaine tells me that this one-hour exclusive show is the most fun she’s ever had on stage - and it also involves her rapping!

You will not be disappointed if you decide to make a night of it at Restaurante Margarita on a Thursday.

You’ll see a wonderful show, featuring the Island’s most successful, best-loved female vocalist, working solo and as Boom, the only trio of this kind in Tenerife.

LEONARDOS are proud to present Re-Loaded. Aaron Cormack and Scotty Henderson will now be performing as the resident duo from Tuesday to Friday on the Leonardos terrace.

Their playlist include classic artistes, as well as current recording stars. With Aaron on guitar, and the two voices together producing a blend that you don’t hear on the original songs, it makes their arrangements unique, and a pleasure to hear.

The rest of the week is just as strong, as Saturday night sees a new collaboration between Leon Cormack, a successful DJ and mainstream producer, and Andy, from vocal harmony group Triple A - another successful duo here in Tenerife.

These two artistes have worked together before and, between them, produce some amazing vocal harmonies, along with some top skills on the ivories from Leon.

On Sunday and Monday, T2K will be holding the fort. Cory and Stu cover all genres, but they really get going on the big summer ’13 hits like Avicii’s Wake Me Up, and Blurred Lines from Robin Thicke. And all this is stitched together with resident DJ Luke Warne.

A highly-talented line-up awaits your ears on what is the biggest bar terrace in the South, with a fantastic sound system.

Owners David and Helen invite you down to experience the Leonardos atmosphere, with the new entertainment line-up, beginning at 8.30 every night.

B&Q reveals reasons behind soaring energy bill at Buckingham Palace.

The Queen’s official London residence, Buckingham Palace came under fire last week as B&Q Energy Saving revealed just how inefficient the palace is when it comes to keeping the heat in.

It is now revealed that HM’s official London residence is one of the worst London landmarks for energy efficiency. The palace was built for Queen Victoria in 1820 and last week it was revealed that energy bills at the palace rose last year by 14 per cent. With energy bills set to rise even further this winter, now is the time for the Royal Household to invest in some simple energy saving devices to help save Her Majesty money on energy.

The thermal images taken by B&Q Energy Saving reveal that heat is currently being lost through the Palace’s

760 windows and 1,514 doors, despite Her Majesty’s best efforts to conserve heat.

Double glazing was fitted to the skylights at Buckingham Palace just over ten years ago in an attempt to improve its energy efficiency, however the palace currently still

has an energy rating of C, with A being very efficient. Even investing in simple, low cost fittings such as draught excluders could save the palace thousands of pounds every year.

With 600 rooms, the total utility bill for the Palace is an estimated £2.2 million per year.

B&Q has sent the Royal Household an Energy Saving pack with draught excluders and tips to help saving on heating.

Despite not being eligible for a free boiler through the Government’s Affordable Warmth scheme, the Palace could invest in more energy efficient boilers, such as the iQE boiler that has been awarded the first ever BSI Kitemark for Energy Efficient Products- the only boiler in the World to have this.

There are a number of small changes that could be made to keep the heat in too. To identify the changes needed, the Royal Household can use B&Q’s Heatbleed Calculator on www.diy. com/heatbleed which identifies problem areas in a home in terms of energy efficiency.

This can be remedied with easy DIY projects and best of all it is remarkably quick to use, taking just 10 seconds to get an instant response.

Spot of gardening may be the key to a long life THERE’S no need for the over-60s brigade to go out jogging or cycling every day in an attempt to stay fit and healthy.

Just a bit of weeding and pruning around the garden, or carrying out maintenance jobs around the home, is the key to a longer life.

At least, that’s we are being told following a Swedish study of that age group, which stresses that vigorous exercise is not the answer. Simply getting off the sofa and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle is the way forward for the oldies - a lifesaver even according to the study.

It involved 4,232 people over a 12-year period, and suggested it lessened the risks of heart attacks or strokes.

The findings, by researchers at Stockholm’s Karolinska Uni-

Page 38

versity Hospital, were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Surprise, surprise, they discovered that elderly people tended to spend more time being couch potatoes and less time exercising than people in other age groups.

So the researchers examined activity levels in-between sitting down and full-on exercise - such as fixing the car, home repairs, cutting the lawn or blackberry-picking.

The results showed that people who were more active on a daily basis had the lowest risk of a heart attack.

But those who were merely active without exercising still had a lower risk than those doing nothing.

Any kind of lifestyle reduced the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 27%, and death from any cause by 30%, during the study.

The report said: “A generally-active daily life had important beneficial associations with cardiovascular health and longevity in older adults, which seemed to be regardless of regular exercise.”

It said the findings had “high clinical relevance” for older people, who spent a lot of time on the sofa, or lay around in bed.

The scientists involved suggest that sitting for long periods may lower people’s metabolic rate, or a lack of activity could alter hormones produced in muscle tissue. These could then have knockon effects for overall health.

Dr Tim Chico, honorary consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said: “Although this study examined people in their 60s only, it is reasonable to assume that the more active people are throughout

their lives, the lower their risk of cardiovascular disease.

“The message I take from this study is simple; if you want to reduce your risk of heart disease, be more active.

“Don’t sit down for long periods; get up on your feet and do something you enjoy that involves moving around.”

Christopher Allen, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: “Being physically active is important in maintaining good heart health.

But, as this study demonstrates, you don’t need a gym membership to do that.

“As long as they make you feel warmer, breathe harder and make your heart beat faster, activities such as DIY and gardening count towards the 150 minutes of moderateintensity weekly activity recommended for a healthy lifestyle.”

gardening The Royal Horticultural Society and Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation are joining forces on an innovative community-focused programme which will create three new sustainable green spaces in the heart of the town.

It is hoped that the project will ultimately be used as a model for how communities, especially those in lowincome areas, can best utilise their public green space for food production and to create affordable and attractive areas, which are a benefit to local wildlife as well as the community.

The initial stage will be delivered over the next year by both the RHS and Heritage Foundation, a charitable organisation which manages the Letchworth Garden City estate.

RHS Head of Regional Development, Andrea Van-Sittart said “This is such an exciting project and a great opportunity to work with the Heritage Foundation to build support for community gardening groups and volunteers, such as RHS Britain in Bloom volunteers and local schools, through to creating the gardens and providing training in the form of educational seminars.

“As the world’s leading horticultural charity, one of our key aims is to reach out and support grassroots garden-

ing here in the UK and although this is still at a very early stage, we hope that we can apply some of our knowledge and resources to make the Letchworth programme a great success.”

John Lewis, Chief Executive of the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation said: “This is an exciting partnership which will look to deliver beautiful gardens at the heart of Letchworth Garden City’s town centre and lead to a range of projects to promote sustainable gardening in our community.”

The project will involve the creation of three new gardens including an allotment to demonstrate low-cost gardening, a biodiversity garden, with a focus on encouraging wildlife, and a sustainable garden where the emphasis will be on organic, pesticide and herbicide-free gardening. The gardens will include a number of information boards to supplement the learning and educational elements of the project.

Letchworth Garden City, an eight square mile area in North Hertfordshire, has a relatively high proportion of social housing (33%) compared with the national average of 19%. Part of the original concept of Garden City was creating a community that feeds itself and this aim has been reinvigorated through a growing demand to be self-sufficient due to increased awareness of issues like the distance food travels, the cost of food and the use of chemicals in global food production.

ROUNDING THINGS UP

By Carl from Robot

CUTTING hair is more than picking up a pair of scissors.

And knowing what style to give a client isn’t something we just happen to spot in a magazine.

I would say that 50 % of new clients have a style that doesn’t suit them, whether it be the cut or the colour - or both!

I was taught to cut hair by analysing face shapes, lifestyles and fashion sense.

By far the most important aspect is the shape of the client’s face, and this determines every aspect of the cut we want to produce.

This week, I’m looking at those of you who have fuller or “round” faces.

With a client featuring this shape, we need to think about what part of the face is most rounded. Where do we need to slim the face down and where do we give volume?

Looking at my two pictures, you will notice the girl with the smooth bob seems to have a fuller face than the other one.

This is because of the straightness of her style.

Having straight, flat hair for a fuller face is a big no-no as it simply serves to accentuate the roundness, making the face seem bigger.

On the other hand, the second girl has volume and bounce to her hair.

Page 40

The cure for Alheimer’s may not be so far away A L Z H E I M E R’ S could be treatable or even prevented by replacing faulty genes within a decade.

This detracts from the face shape and “balances” out her profile, softening her look totally.

Just because you have a face shape which you may not like doesn’t mean that this cannot be changed - with a simple adjustment to your cut, your profile can be changed dramatically.

Try to stay away from overbold colours as well because these expand the face width, drawing too much attention to the volume you dislike.

Styling your hair should be done by blow-drying, or giving it movement and volume by using heated rollers.

If you’re unsure of the face shape, then pull back your hair and look at the line of your forehead: is it rounded or straight?

Men and women could be given a nasal spray packed with healthy versions of the defective genes that cause the illness.

So says Professor Julie Williams, an expert in the disease from Cardiff University, who believes the entire population could eventually be screened in middleage to identify those at most risk of the memory-robbing disease.

They could then be given cutting-edge gene therapy and other treatments to stop the disease ever developing.

Of immense importance is that she has the backing of the Medical Research Council, which part-funded the study, as did Alzheimer’s Research UK. Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia affect more than 800,000 Britons, with the number expected to double in a generation as the population ages.

Existing drugs delay the progress of Alzheimer’s, but their failure to tackle the underlying cause in the brain means that the effect quickly wears off and the disease soon takes its devastating course.

The professor, given a CBE in the Queen’s 2012 Birthday Honours for her work on Alzheimer’s, made the prediction after jointly leading the biggest-ever study into the genetics of the disease.

The landmark study, involving more than 180 researchers from 15 countries, pinpointed 11 genes which raise the risk of the disease.

The size of the collaboration allowed them to identify more genes in

under three years than have been found in the past two decades.

By taking the total to 21, it also more than doubles the number of known Alzheimer’s genes, reports the Nature Genetics journal.

Alzheimer’s charities said the “exciting discovery of genes linked with the disease opens up new avenues to explore in the search for treatments for the condition”.

The new genes were found by comparing the DNA of more than 25,000 people suffering from Alzheimer’s with that of 48,000 people without the disease.

Professor Williams, chief scientific adviser to the Welsh Assembly, in addition to being a working researcher, said: “What surprised us most about the findings was the very strong pattern that showed several genes implicating the body’s immune system in causing dementia.

“Each individual gene will carry a relatively low risk. But when you put all the information together, they are telling us an interesting and novel story - and that takes us in a new direction.”

She added that the find needs to be followed up with “great urgency” to determine just how the genes cause dementia. Knowing this, said the professor, will speed the search for new drug treatments.

But another possibil-

ity is correcting the flawed DNA, or the genetic variations that cause Alzheimer’s, by giving people a nasal spray packed with healthy genes.

Prof Williams said: “In 10 ten years’ time, we might be looking at a genetic therapy. That might be feasible, but not quite yet.

“If you have variation that you know is contributing to a disease, the most effective way of reducing the risk is to change the variation in a very precise way.

“Genetic therapies will allow you to just change the elements that are contributing to the disease. Drugs may not be precise and can cause side-effects.”

She added that “in the distant future”, all people in their 40s or 50s could be screened for dementia genes and given genetic therapy and other treatments in a bid to stop the disease ever developing.

The study also suggested links between Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

Professor Hugh Perry, of the Medical Research Council, which partfunded the study, as did Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: ‘Understanding how our genetic code contributes to Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias and neurodegenerative diseases is a crucial part of the puzzle in learning how we can prevent their devastating effects.”

By Val Sainsbury A PLEDGE by food manufacturers to cut saturated fat levels is merely “a drop in the ocean” in the fight against obesity.

That’s the opinion of a top public health expert, yet Morrisons, Subway and Nestle are among companies signed up to the voluntary “responsibility deal” between industry and the British Government.

The Department of Health (DoH) says it will “make a huge difference”, adding that the average man should eat no more than 30g of saturated fat a day, and the average woman no more than 20g.

But Professor John Ashton, President of the Faculty of Public Health, believes the pledge “lacks credibility” and says it does not go far enough.

“Yes, it is a good thing that some companies are making food that has less saturated fat than before,” he says.

“At the same time, though, they need to ensure that they lower the sugar and salt they have

Health and Beauty

Cutting fat won’t cure obesity crisis

used to make foods tastier as a result of lowering the fat content.

“This announcement is a drop in the ocean in comparison with the scale of the obesity crisis. We cannot rely on the voluntary approach of the ‘responsibility deal’ to solve this problem.”

Prof Ashton adds witheringly: “It now lacks credibility and can be seen as a feeble attempt by the industry to save face.”

According to the British Dietetic Association, most people eat about 20% more than the recommended maximum levels.

And a survey of 2,000 people for Sainsbury’s found 84% of those questioned did not know

how much saturated fat constituted a healthy a healthy amount. But why should they know?

Jane Ellison, the Government’s Public Health Minister, says more than 500 big companies have pledged their support.

The DoH says cutting the amount of saturated fat in people’s diets by 15% could prevent around 2,600 premature deaths every year from conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

Almost half of the food manufacturing and retail industry - based on market share - have signed up to this latest pledge to reduce the amount of saturated fat in products, says the DoH. Measures planned by companies include Nes-

tle altering the makeup of KitKat biscuits by reducing saturated fat, Morrisons reformulating its range of spreads and Subway replacing biscuits and crisps in its Kids’ Pak with healthier options.

Other firms cutting saturated fat, or promising to do so, include Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Aldi and Mondelez International - which will alter products, including its Oreo biscuits.

Labour public health spokeswoman Luciana Berger says: “A few company names on a non-binding plan with no timescale stands little chance of delivering the fundamental change needed to improve our national diet.

“In the week that the chief medical officer

warned of the long-term dangers of childhood obesity, we need to go much further.”

She said Labour had put forward “bold ideas to set legal limits on our food’s fat, sugar and salt content and achieve a cross-party ambition for a more physically-active nation”.

Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum, also calls for regulation, adding: “The much-vaunted voluntary responsibility deal will never succeed until the Government takes a grip and makes everybody sign up to it.”

A DoH spokesperson said: “By reducing the amount of saturated fat in everyday foods, manufacturers and retailers are helping us lead healthier lives.

“We have already made huge progress through the responsibility deal.

There are reduced salt levels in many products, calories on high-street menus and better information about alcohol units and drinking guidelines.

“We know there is more to be done, but

this pledge will make a huge difference to our health.”

Prof Susan Jebb, chairwoman of the Responsibility Deal Food Network, said the manufacturers’ commitments to help reduce saturated fat were “an important step forward”.

The announcement of the pledge came days after cardiologist Aseem Malhotra, a member of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges’ obesity steering group, wrote in the British Medical Journal that the risk from saturated fat in non-processed food was “overstated and demonised”.

He said there was too much focus on the fat with other factors, such as sugar, often overlooked.

He told Radio 4’s Today programme: “A sugary drinks tax, banning junk food advertising to children, ensuring compulsory nutritional standards in schools and hospitals … are things that are going to overcome the problems we face.”

New antibiotics could see off the superbugs

A NEW generation of antibiotics capable of defeating life-threatening superbugs has been developed.

The pioneering drugs prevent mutations by attacking a bacteria’s DNA. having already successfully treated a hospital-acquired lung infection that leads to

pneumonia. It is hoped that the breakthrough could signal the end of resistant superbugs such as C-diff and E-coli and MRSA. Researchers say the drugs are “the way of the future” and could be on the market within five years.

The breakthrough comes after Britain’s chief medical officer, Dame Professor Sally

1st November - 7th November 2013

Davies, warned that the lack of new antibiotics capable of fighting the risk posed by superbugs was like “a ticking timebomb”.

She said undergoing routine surgery could be like playing “Russian roulette”, with patients dying from infections.

Professor Bruce Geller, leading research at America’s Oregon State University, said: “These new drugs have the potential to work against superbugs - and to solve the problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”

One recent study showed that at least 1.6 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions are being handed out

every year by GPs across Britain for illnesses they cannot cure.

Conventional antibiotics disrupt the cells of bacteria and can have side-effects. But the new drugs, known as PPMOs, are based on synthetic compounds which can be engineered to target almost any gene from developing mutations.

Professor Geller wrote in the Journal of Infectious Diseases: “The discovery of antibiotics was one of the most significant milestones in all medical history.

“Unfortunately, the success of antibiotics is drying up, but this offers a completely new strategy.”

Studies show that the new drugs can overcome Acinetobacter, a deadly hospital-acquired infection which causes lung infection and sepsis.

It was chosen for trials on animals because it is highly resistant to antibiotics and now, trials will now be carried out on humans.

Experts say overuse of antibiotics has led to the emerging crisis, and Professor Davies warned earlier this year: “If you get an infection in your bloodstream, in 10-20 years, it might be untreatable.

“If we don’t take action, then we may all be back in an almost 19thcentury environment, where infections kill us

as a result of routine operations.

“We won’t be able to do a lot of our cancer treatments or organ transplants.”

Dr Ibrahim Hassan, a consultant microbiologist at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Hospital, said more patients were being seen with bacterial infections which were resistant to antibiotics.

He added: “All you can hope of is a bit of holy water, because you don’t have too much option in terms of treatment.”

Other deadly infections include Klebsiella, linked to pneumonia, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can affect the lungs.

Treats on a budget S u per m arket Sainsbury’s has revealed that during the current, hard-pressed economic times, savvy customers are serving up tasty, home-cooked meals from everyday basic ingredients, while adding great-value ‘luxury’ items to treat family and friends.

The data, which tracks sales of Sainsbury’s basics range, shows that whilst shoppers are still buying the essential ingredients for many family favourite meals, new products are now appearing in the baskets of shoppers looking for luxury on a budget as customers have become more savvy in finding ways to still enjoy a treat while sticking to their weekly shopping budget.

Alongside the staple ingredients of a host of traditional family favourites, such as spaghetti Bolognese and chilli con carne, items such as blueberries, chocolate and mozzarella pearls are now forming part of the modern British basics basket.

As more people turn

Page 42

to scratch cooking their family meals, it is unsurprising that chopped tomatoes take the top spot in the top 20 best-selling basics products followed by fresh tomatoes, eggs, bananas and peppers as customers look to make their budgets go further by stocking up on simple items that they can combine cleverly to make a tasty, nutritious meals and snacks.

Lee Saunders, Basics Brand Manager at Sainsbury’s, said: “We know that customers’ shopping habits have changed in recent years.

Household budgets have been stretched to go further, but standards are higher and people still want to enjoy life’s little luxuries without breaking the bank.

“Today, our basics blueberries are just as popular as our basics carrots and our customers are shopping smarter than ever before, seeking out good, simple ingredients that they can combine to make dishes the whole family love.”

Supermarkets told to stop sweet sales at check-outs THE British Government has warned supermarkets not to sell sweets and chocolate at check-outs.

That’s where the kids notice these point-ofsale goodies -.known as Impulse Purchase Points - and nag their mums to buy some.

The Department of Health wants retailers to take “real action” after evidence that there is a significant increase in sales of foods sold at these target points.

Recent research by campaign group Junk Free Checkouts has found that 83% of parents have been pestered by their children to buy sweets at the check-out - and 75% admit to having given in.

Around 93% said they believed selling junk food in supermarket check-out lanes contributed to obesity - and the majority said retailers should be asked to stop doing it.

Public Health Minister Jane Ellison, referring to the research , said:

“There is evidence that the majority of food promoted at check-outs and in queuing areas is less healthy than elsewhere. And foods sold at impulse purchase points such as checkouts experience uplifts in sales.”

She added: “Parents have indicated that the positioning of sweets at check-outs can increase pestering to purchase by their children.”

It represents a significant shift in position by the Government, which last year ruled out taking action against retailers who promoted junk food in so-called “guilt lanes”.

Anna Soubry, then Public Health Minister, dismissed the idea, saying she had managed to say “no” to her children.

But following Ms Ellison’s comments, a D of H spokesman said: “We have specifically discussed this important issue with supermarkets, and we will be looking to them to take real action on it.

“While we have been clear that legislation is not necessary and that the voluntary approach through the Responsibility Deal is working, we are taking this issue very seriously in our discussions with the industry.

“The Responsibility Deal has set up consistent front-of-pack food labelling, to which all the major supermarkets and several big manufacturers have signed up.

“It has also, significantly, reduced artificial trans-fat, calories and salt in foods.”

The Junk Free Check-outs campaign, launched last month, is run by the British Dietetic Association’s (BDA) Dieticians in Obesity Management Specialist Group (DOM UK) and the Children’s Food Campaign.

BDA obesity specialist Linda Hindle said at the launch: “Unplanned calories from foods high in fat and sugar purchased at check-outs contribute towards poor diet and poor health, including obesity, heart disease and diabetes, which may lead to premature death.

“Eating sugary or acidic food and drink also contributes directly to tooth damage.

Good news - Ryanair announces changes Ryanair has unveiled a programme of enhancements to its customer service last weekend.

After an extensive customer feedback programme through its “Tell MOL” page on the Ryanair.com website, Ryanair confirmed that it will introducing the following customer service improvements over the next 6 months to the end of March 2014.

1. The “Recaptcha” security code will be removed from the Ryanair.com website for individual bookings from today (1st Nov).

2. Alos from today, customers who book directly on the Ryanair. com website (i.e. not via travel agents or screenscrapers) will be given a 24 hour grace period from the time of their original booking, to correct any minor errors (i.e. spelling, names, routings) made in their original booking.

3. And again from today, Ryanair will operate “quiet flights”, prior to 8am in the mornings and after 9pm in the evenings. During these quiet flight periods no PA’s will be made on board other than required safety announcements. Ryanair will also dim the lights during these quiet flights so that any customers who wish to snooze, can comfortably do so.

4. From 1st Dec, Ryanair will allow passengers to bring a 2nd small carryon bag (small ladies handbag or small airport shopping bag) no bigger than 35 x 20 x 20 cms which will allow a bottle of wine or equivalent to be carried.

5. FOn the same day, Ryanair’s boarding card reissue fee will be cut from 70 euros/£70 to 15 euros/£15 for customers who have already checked in online.

Customers who fail to check-in online will continue to pay a 70 euros airport check-in fee.

Page 44

6. From 5th Jan, Ryanair’s standard airport bag fees will be cut from 60 euros/£60 to 30 euros/£30 at the bag drop desk, and from 60 euros/£60 to 50 euros/£50 at the boarding gate, bringing them into line with competitor airline standard airport bag fees.

Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said: “We are very excited at these significant improvements in what is already Europe’s No.1 customer service airline. As we implement our plans to grow from 80m to over 110m customer p.a. over the next 5 years, we are actively listening and responding to our customers so that they can continue to expect low fares and on-time flights on Ryanair, but will now enjoy easier website access, 24 hour grace periods, a 2nd small carry-on bag, reduced airport bag fees and quiet flights.

We hope that our passengers will enjoy these service improvements, while still enjoying Ryanair’s low fares and ontime flights.”

Ryanair’s Director of Customer Service, Caroline Green said: “These are the first in a series of customer service improvements which Ryanair is actively working on to make our low fare services easier to access and even more enjoyable for our millions of customers.

“As some of these policy changes will require website changes and handling staff retraining, we will be rolling them out over the next few months as we strive to further improve Europe’s No.1 customer service airline.

“If customers have any other suggestions or feedback they want us to hear, then please use our customer feedback service “Tell MOL” on the Ryanair. com website.”

Heathrow

bugs and bats

Heathrow has conducted a new survey of many of unusual inhabitants in time for Halloween.

129 species of spider and 304 species of beetle were found at the airport, including two new species of bat.

Just in time for Halloween, Heathrow’s creepy crawly specialists have completed an analysis of the species that reside in and around the airport’s 30 hectare biodiversity site. This is the first time they have surveyed the spiders and beetles that make their home at the UK’s hub airport.

The study found 129 species of spider, 304 species of beetles were represented. There are

currently five species of bat; Soprano Pipistrelle, Common Pipistrelle, Nathusius’ Pipistrelle, Noctule and Serotine.

The latter two are new visitors to Heathrow.

Heathrow is home to a wealth of rare and ghoulish species of bats, spiders and insects as it sits on Thames Terrace Gravels, perfect nesting ground for creatures because of its soft, dry ground and south facing slopes which heat up on sunny days.

This analysis aims to increase Heathrow’s understanding of the fauna in and around the airfield to help steer future management and protection of the species found.

Edward Milner, an arachnologist or “spiderman”, studied and counted new species of

spiders in the Colne Valley area around Heathrow. Matt Smith, an Entomologist, looked at several groups of insects across the airport, principally at the aculeate hymenoptera - bees, wasps and ants.

Adam Cheeseman, the residential ‘batman,’ has kept an eye on the bat boxes around the airport for new inhabitants.

Two spiders were also found for the first time in Middlesex: Mermessus trilobatus is a small Linyphiid recorded in UK for the first time early in 2013. This species has so far only been found at a few sites in the Thames gateway area, and at Mile End Park.

Xysticus acerbus is a scarce crab spider, not previously recorded in

the London area; several specimens were found during this survey. Two other ‘Nationally Notable’ species were trapped: the rare Linyphiid Centromerus incilium and the scarce jumping spider Philaeus Chrysops.

The report is part of Heathrow’s commitment to helping run Heathrow responsibly.

This includes ensuring the protection of wildlife and species in and around the airport.

Heathrow Airport retained the Biodiversity Benchmark Award for a third year in a row in 2012. The award from The Wildlife Trust recognises continual biodiversity improvement, and Heathrow remains the only airport to have reached the standard.

Graduate positions with Easyjet EasyJet has announced that its award-winning European Graduate Recruitment Programme, is now open for applications for the third successive year.

Recent graduates are invited to apply via http://careers.easyjet. com/graduates/ for places on the 2014 intake of the airline’s two-year training scheme which will see the successful applicants spend time gaining invaluable, hands-on experience in key easyJet departments across the business which include Operations, Finance, Engineering, IT, Network, Revenue & Sales,

Marketing and HR with a permanent job at the airline once the programme has been completed.

The programme gives the graduates who are selected, the chance to be fully involved in the day-to-day activities and business critical projects of a successful airline and develop their commercial and operational expertise with the benefit of support provided by a dedicated mentor, in order to develop a career where the sky really is the limit, in their chosen field.

Since the launch of easyJet’s European Graduate Programme

– recently voted top of the JobCrowd’s Logistics and Transport ranking, 47 graduates have taken part in the scheme and have been recruited from across Europe from countries including the UK, Portugal, Greece, Spain Germany and Italy.

Alita Benson, easyJet’s Group People Director said: “We are delighted to be opening the recruitment process for easyJet’s 2014 Graduate Recruitment Programme.

“We’re fully committed to discovering and nurturing new talent at easyJet and this is one

of the ways in which we do this across Europe. easyJet is a dynamic and fun place to be and we are experiencing real growth at a time when many businesses and airlines are struggling.

The Graduate Recruitment Programme is a great opportunity for talented graduates to learn from industry leaders and develop their skills for a career that will really take-off.”

The closing date for applications is 15th November 2013 and shortlisted applicants will be invited to attend a final stage assessment at easyJet’s Training Academy in the UK.

Hyundai boxing clever with i10

HYUNDAI describe their nofrills i10 five-door as “a supermini in a city-car package”.

The hatchback has been a fixture on Britain’s roads since it became the most popular car bought on the UK’s Scrappage Scheme three years ago.

Astonishingly, 110,000 have been sold since it was launched in 2008, making it Hyundai’s best-selling model in the UK. Existing owners might raise an eyebrow or two when they discover that the cost of the New Generation i10 - as it has been labelled by the firm -starts from £8,345, rising to £10,495, when it goes on sale in January.

That’s because the price remains the same as the outgoing model, and the company claims

their updated machine has increased space, quality and more equipment.

Two petrol engines will be available from launch, which include a 65bhp 1.0-litre three-cylinder motor and a more powerful 85bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine.

The latter is expected to be the most popular choice, accounting for up to 40% of sales. The same engines can also be found in the Kia Picanto, with which the i10 shares its platform.

Trim levels are made up of S, SE and Premi-

um and include standard equipment such as central-locking, electric front windows, USB input, daytime running lights, adjustable steering wheel and six airbags.

Mid-range SE models receive additional, remote central-locking, electric rear windows, electric-heated door mirrors, body colour door handles and mirrors.

And those in SE trim are priced from £9,292 and rise to £10,495 if you opt for the automatic gearbox.

Range-topping Premium trim adds 14in alloys,

Bluetooth connectivity with voice recognition and steering wheel controls.

All models come with five seats, apart from the SE Blue Drive variant, which is available with four only. But it does feature sub-100g/km CO2 emissions at only 98g/ km.

Hyundai promise a more dynamic drive, and will be hoping that this, together with the stepup in quality, will influence buyers, old and new.

There is certainly plenty of extra space on offer, considering the new

i10 dimensions are just 80mm longer and 65mm wider than the old car.

Hyundai say the boot space is the largest in class, at 252 litres, which is a litre more than in a Volkswagen up! and 27 litres more than in the outgoing i10.

The rear is so roomy that a six-foot passenger can sit behind comfortably behind a driver of the same size.

That should be more than adequate for the target market of families wanting a second car.

They’ll also be impressed with the dashboard’s soft-touch plastics and well-engineered controls.

Hyundai product marketing chief Christian Loeer says: “We found most customers preferred this type of craftsmanship to the baremetal surfaces of the up!”

The New Generation i10 was styled at their German design centre, where the box-like shape of the old car was reduced by losing 50mm from the height, and flat

surfaces broken up with the brand’s 3D effect.

The i10 was given a light facelift in 2011 to bring it more in line with the firm’s then-new styling theme.

And this new model is an even more styleconscious offering, with a gaping front fascia, integrated LED running lights and stylish sidestrakes integrated into the doors.

The i10 will be battling against A-segment stalwarts like the Fiat Panda, Renault Twingo and Volkswagen Up! for a share of the market.

New Generation i10 is being made at Hyundai’s factory in Ízmit, Turkey.

The annual capacity of the plant, which already produces the B-segment New i20 model, is rising to 200,000 cars, following a multi-million Euro investment in infrastructure in the region.

Once New Generation i10 goes on sale across Europe, 90% of Hyundai cars sold in Europe will be built in the region.

Clio’s not so clever this time

NOT many cars have reigned supreme as class leader for as long as the Renault Clio Renaultsport.

Every previous model was an enthusiast’s dream drive, but the new Clio RS 200 Turbo is no longer a manic machine, which means it will almost certainly attract a different breed of customer as a result.

Past versions, valued for being fast, light, cheap and adjustable, with a heady 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated engine and twangy Cup chassis, positively clamoured to be driven hard.

To anyone fortunate enough to have spent the last 15 years behind its oversized steering wheel, the Renaultsport Clio had the perfect formula.

Sadly, it has fallen victim of change the all-

new Clio demonstrates a seismic change to Renaultsport’s established approach.

Like the standard model, the RS 200 must now be bought with five doors. Its engine has been downsized and turbo-charged, and it

1st November - 7th November 2013

now has an automatic gearbox, which will definitely not appeal to aficionados!

These changes are intended to make the former tearaway a more appealing prospect to a broader cross-section of buyers.

But can a softer, more sensible Renaultsport still live up to lofty expectations.

The Clio RS 200 EDC has a 197bhp, 1.6-litre, turbo-petrol engine that drives the front wheels through the six-speed “Efficient Dual Clutch”

gearbox which provides this model with its initialised suffix.

The powertrain difference from the previous Clio couldn’t be more marked. It featured a six-speed manual only, its 2.0-litre naturallyaspirated engine want-

ed revs to give results, and it produced its 197bhp power peak at 7250rpm.

This time around, however, peak power arrives by 6000rpm and, significantly, peak torque of 177lb ft starts at 1750rpm.

That’s disappointing, because fans will have expected it to be yet another powerhouse.

However, the good thing is that it will grow on you, and will surely appeal to a broader customer base than the previous version.

As for the starting price of around £19,000, the Clio looks to be excellent value compared with paddleshift rivals like the less-powerful but more expensive Volkswagen Polo GT. Also, it is just £100 more than the manualgearbox Peugeot 208 GTi, But it still costs £2,000 more than the Fiesta ST, the speedy, classy little rival motor which will offer the toughest challenge.

Last Saturday, Tenerife went double bubble with their best display of the season. Deportivo are expected to bounce straight back into La Liga, but Tenerife made them look incredibly average.

The hard-working Rudy aside, Depor were poor. Don’t just take my word for it. One of their local papers said: “Poor defending from Depor cost them points.

The inability to defend set-pieces was the main problem in a tepid display.”

I’ve never had the pleasure of spending any real time with Tenerife boss Alvaro Cervera, but I know I would like him.

He is a major fan of The Smiths, is welleducated and has a proper, worldly-wise

a masterstroke as the right-footed defender gave his best performance in a CDT shirt.

His positioning was spot-on, he was strong in the tackle and while he was never going to bomb forward, he kept the back door shut.

Depor like to play on the counter, but with Camara and Moyano exercising restraint, they were short of ideas.

On Saturday, not one newspaper got even close to naming his starting XI, and one only got five players right.

The selection of Raul Camara was, quite literally, out of left field. With Llorente out of form, it seemed as though young Salva Ruiz would keep his place at left-back after a solid game at Ponferradina.

seem to have a good understanding and they bossed the match.

Surprise starter Cristo Martin was better, and even Aridane put in a shift for a change.

A goal-less first half maintained Tenerife’s proud record of not having conceded in the opening 45 minutes this season. That’s quite an achievement.

Tenerife probably deserved a goal for their first-half display and Cervera scented that this could be his night under the floodlights.

Just 10 minutes after the restart, he hooked captain-for-the -night Chechu and played his joker.

It’s a mystery to me why Suso is so inconsistent. I totally understand why he is not trusted with the starting jersey. But boy, what a firecracker he is when he comes on!

He was a man on a mission, and again I refer you to a local Coruña paper: “Deportivo shows its worst. The skill and coolness of Suso destroyed Depor as a toothless attack failed to shine. The defence was exposed, thanks to the quality of Suso. He was fast, skilful and we had no idea of how to stop him.”

Spot-on.

Depor legend and former Las Palmas player Pablo, filling in at left-back, did all he could to stem the Suso

charge.

But he was badly let down by his teammates, and it was on one such occasion that Tenerife got their lead.

A Suso run forced the near-post corner, which was beautifully met by the glancing head of Carlos Ruiz.

It was his first goal for the club, and he is quickly becoming the first name on the team sheet.

As the senior centreback he is revelling in the responsibility, and this goal will only make him better.

And let’s hope he chips in with a few more goals because Tenerife have missed that since the retirement of Pablo Sicilia.

The Ruiz opener forced Deportivo forward, with everything going through Rudy. He was everywhere but, try as he did, football is not a one man team.

Borja seemed to be marking himself, while the wingers were comfortably outfoxed.

As usual, Tenerife wasted some chances to put the game to bed and, as the clock slowly ticked down, fans expected the worst.

Late goals have been shipped and many points thrown in the bin over the years. But not this time.

In added-time, another Suso run carved open the porous Depor defence and an unmarked Aridane

couldn’t miss.

Canarian weekly ratings CD Tenerife: Roberto 6, Moyano 6, Bruno 7, Carlos Ruiz 8, Camara 9, Aitor Sanz 7, Rivero 7, Chechu 6 (Suso 55min 8), Aridane 7, Cristo Martin 7 (Inigo Ros 68min 6), Ayoze 7 (Oscar Rico 87min).

Deportivo La Coruña: Lux 7, Laure 6, Alex 7, Insua 6, Pablo 7 (Antonio Nuñez 80min), Wilk 6; Rudy 8, Juan Domínguez 6, Juan Carlos 5 (Kaka 67min 5), Bicho 5 (Luis 67min 5), Borja 5.

Tenerife’s win would have made a few ripples and, for me, showed how tight this division is.

We were unlucky to lose at leaders Recreativo, while second-place Lugo were gifted a win at the Heliodoro.

CDT have conceded fewer goals than Recreativo and have a better goal-difference than Mallorca, who are 10 places higher.

Last week, chairman Miguel Conception said the team were on course to finish at least midtable, and maybe he is right.

The reality is that we are still in the drop zone, although that may not be the case after this weekend.

On Sunday it’s Alaves away, and in many ways they are just like us.

Both sides are chasing former glories, both came up last season and both will be looking to consolidate.

I’ve a feeling this could be a good time to play them. Make no mistake, they are dangerous and score for fun. But their defence is dodgy and only Sporting Gijon have failed to score against them this season.

Barca B helped themselves to three in their last home match, while Zaragoza, Mirandes and Alcorcon all bulged the onion bag a couple of times.

Tenerife’s defence is looking smart - and if they keep it tight ,they will be confident of nicking one.

Cheque and a half for Graham!

YOU wait for ages for a bus, then two come along at the same time.

That’s the old adage - and it is so appropriate.

Palms Sports Bar’s Daniel hit a 170 finish just two weeks ago to put himself in line for highest Oasis Fm League check-out sponsors Direct Telecom’s cash prize.

Now, though, during a 7-1 win at Gaffers A, his team-mate Graham matched that checkout, which means they will share the prize if 170 is not surpassed.

Oddly enough, it came during a doubles leg. And who left the 170 for Graham? Yep, you guessed it - Dan-

iel. An expensive night out then, eh Dan! Oh, Mally and Tom also weighed in with 118 and 116 check-outs in that match.

In an evening of onesided Premier League fixtures, there were three whitewashes: Bar 180 A at home to the Vikings, The Pub at Scruffy Macs and Target Army at home to the Playboys, with Grant hitting a maximum in the latter match. La Caña Pirates lad Darren hit a 180 as his side nicked the last leg to beat Target Titans.

The Division 1 tie at Amistad 1 produced the com back of the week as the home team scorched into a 4-0

PRemier division ResultS

lead, only to be pegged back to a draw by Emerald Lounge.

Another drawn match came at Summerlands after they pinched the trebles from Gaffers B, while leaders Rood cruised to a 6-2 victory over Bar 180 B. Marilyns notched their third win of the season as they took the last rubber to beat Naughty Nautas, and Dave checked out on 106 for Chipeque Pool Bar during a home defeat against Barracuda Bytes.

Bar 180 C, after going five weeks without a win, got themselves a handy six-point haul as they put Trap Door to the sword.

Hat-tip in Division 2 this week goes to Los Abrigos outfit The Rebels. They travelled to long-time leaders Tenerife Sun and put in a fine performance to come away with a draw.

That gave Emerald Shamrocks a chance to narrow the gap slightly, and they duly obliged with a 7-1 win against Amistad 2.

Bar 180 D and La Caña Lancers are now firmly locked in a battle for third place. The 180 crew, almost beaten by Phoenix Flights, had to take the trebles to square the match, while the Lancers comfortably beat Sundowners 6-2.

And, seemingly, for

the first time in ages, Pas O Nadas did not play The Rebels! No, they played Picasso’s, who beat them 5-3.

Haye is still trashing opponent Fury THE much-anticipated tear-up between former world heavyweight champion David Haye and possible contender Tyson Fury, has been rescheduled for next February.

The trash-talking pair should have settled their differences back in September in Man-

chester, only for Haye to suffer a gash over his left eye during his final sparring session.

Haye, 33, needed six stitches to close the wound and Tyson’s uncle and trainer, Peter Fury, talked about calling off the fight and heading in another direction. But calmer heads prevailed and the new date, 8th February, was ironed out by the two camps at the same Phones 4u arena

1st November - 7th November 2013

“It is music to my ears,” said Haye. “I was devastated and felt as though I’d let a lot of people down. But now, with this new date, I couldn’t be happier. My fans will

still get the chance to see Tyson Fury sparked out in spectacular fashion.”

Haye was criticised in some quarters for sparring so close to the fight,

but he said it was part of his plan - the cut was just one of those things.

“Sparring eight days before a fight is nothing new or unusual,” he said. “I’ve done it before and never had an issue.

Also, look at the history books.

“Sugar Ray Leonard sparred and got knocked down five days before his fight with Marvin Hagler, but he still managed to go on and win.

“Leonard is one of the greatest fighters of all, so if it was good enough for him, it’s certainly good enough for little old me.”

Haye also took another shot at Fury, saying: “Leonard was preparing to face Hagler, while I was preparing to fight Tyson Fury, a man whose greatest triumph to date is shedding a few stone on Belgium’s ‘Biggest Loser fat camp’.”

Phoenix season goes to Pot THERE were some thumping wins in Division One of the Direct Telecom pool league this week, none more so than one on The Patch.

There are signs that Inn The Pink A are starting to go through the gears, and they won for a second straight Tuesday as they smashed Phoenix Potters.

The Los Abrigos old boys were never at the races. They were 7-0 down before Paul pulled a frame back for them. John, Ricky and Gareth then poured more fuel on the fire before Geoff took the last frame.

It’s the Potters third heavy defeat in the last five weeks, and this Tuesday they face Palms A. There should be fireworks, because Palms A roared back to form with a 10-2 ravishing of Tenerife Hammers C. And there were two other matches with the same scoreline as well.

Tenerife Hammers A are now in 11th heaven as they maintained their 100% record, despite a rare defeat

for Paul while they chopped Treehouse A down to size.

Meanwhile, Phoenix Knights are flying.

They have now won 31 of their last 36 frames as they plucked The Peacocks. They are still 12 points behind the Hammers A and will need a hand if they are to run them close.

Second-place Gaffers A suffered another title setback as they could only draw at home to La Caña A. And it could have been worse as they were behind late on.

It was La Cana’s best result for a while and will give them confidence.

There was nothing between Exiles A and Terrace A and the draw was a fair result.

It’s as you were in Division Two, with no side in the top half tasting defeat and the top three winning.

Leaders James Place won 11-1 for the third week in a row. Will they do it again this Tuesday against a Tenerife Pool Tables side who triumphed 8-4 at Picasso’s?

Hoppys Bar are still unbeaten as we enter

November after a home draw with 2Jzs, and Gaffers B are bang in the mix after winning at Bar La Cana B. Elsewhere, Exiles B were 2-1 down before overcoming Terrace B 9-3, and Gaffers C got all 12 at Cosy Corner B.

Tenerife Eternal Running The Eighth Eternal running world-class event will take place in Tenerife for the first time on 9th November.

Eternal Running is an extreme sports competition, consisting of a series of endurance races. Each race is different but all are characterised by difficulty, since all are various obstacles, a distance apart, and above all, with obstacles such as straw bales, water, “pools” of mud wire circuits, etc.

The event is sponsored by the Tenerife Cabildo and Tenerife

Page 54

Tourism de Tenerife, and has the support of Santa Cruz Council, the Port Authority, Iberostar Grand Hotel Mencey, Font Vella and Hara Group. It will be taking place in Santa Cruz.

The competition is not only a test of endurance and strength but is also fun, as the participants will receive prizes for the best costumes.

The race takes place over 10km and has been developed entirely around our breathtaking scenery. Those who dare to participate

must overcome, while running, the various obstacles to be found every 700m.

Registration is open until the 5th November via www.macaronesiasport.com.

Originally called Fisherman’s Friend Eternal Running, the event, was created by Thunar Esports, who first performed it in Barcelona in 2002. What began as an adventure for the craziest and daring of Barcelona now has become a challenge that people expect worldwide with the World Tour.

Sport In Brief Beckham backing Soccer

DAVID BECKHAM will set up his own Major League Soccer team in Miami, and he could be getting the US franchise on the cheap.

England’s former captain is understood to be buying it for a discounted £15.6m from the league.

The 38-year-old’s option to purchase a franchise is believed to be part of the financial package he negotiated when abandoning topclass football to play for LA Galaxy in 2007.

Beckham, who has done more than any football star in history to promote football in the States, was “excited” by the prospect of Miami when he visited Florida in June.

A dozen potential global investor groups are believed to have made contact with the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan midfielder, who retired in May after making 10 appearances for Paris St-Germain, his final club.

Froome’s golden Tour treat

TOUR de France winner Chris Froome has won the prestigious Velo d’Or (gold bike) award as the best rider of 2013.

The Team Sky man, who grew up in South Africa, is the second Brit to receive the award in as many years following team-mate Sir Bradley Wiggins, who earned the accolade 12 months ago.

As well as his Tour de France success, the 28-year-old won the Criterium du Dauphine and Tour de Romandie this year.

Colombian Nairo Quintana, Tour runner-up as well as leading climber and best young rider, was voted Prospect of the Year.

Celtic Park is Final choice

CELTIC PARK has been chosen by the Scottish Football Association to host this year’s Scottish Cup Final, on Saturday, 17th May. Hampden Park, the regular venue, is being redeveloped, with a running track, to accommodate the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Celtic Park is Scotland’s largest football stadium with a capacity of 60,355. The semifinals will be played at Ibrox Stadium which holds 51,082 spectators.

Radcliffe a racing cert

HARRY POTTER star Daniel Radcliffe will play Sebastian Coe in a film tracing his bitter rivalry with fellow Olympian Steve Ovett.

The project, entitled Gold, reunites Radcliffe with director James Watkins, with whom he worked on last year’s film The Woman in Black.

The film, written by Oscar winner Simon Beaufoy and Will Davies, relates the runners’ famous rivalry in the run-up to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. It is not yet known who will play Ovett in the production.

Coe, now Lord Coe, famously ran against Ovett in Moscow, the former clinching victory in the 1,500m and Ovett picking up gold in the 800m.

Fitness – to the Xtreme!

IF you want to get fit - and stay extremely fit there’s only one place to go: the Xtreme Fitness gymnasium in Las Chafiras.

And to ensure you achieve your goal, there’s a huge bloke who wields a big stick to warn against complacency.

Actually Ian Edwards, who owns the gym, doesn’t really have a stick, or even a magic wand. But it’s fair to say that he and his expert instructors are all fitness fanatics, who will whip you into shape.

The only proviso is that you must take in what they tell you, and follow their instructions to the letter.

“We all take fitness and health very seriously and we don’t like being messed about,” said 40-year-old Ian, a former Great Britain ice-hockey star.

Ian, who weighs in at an imposing 18 stone, is actually a gentle giant, and the former body builder and power-lifter is proud of his gym, his members and his colleagues.

“If we believe in our ‘students’, and they believe in us, then we have the means to alter their lives, make them walk tall and be proud of themselves,” he added.

The fitness gym and martial arts centre caters for all types, all shapes and sizes - and all ages. It even runs regular jiu-jitsu and kick-boxing classes for youngsters from four years upwards.

In addition, the gym offers the complete package for women, from zumba and pilates to spinning, boxercise and bodytone.

Daily morning classes are tailor-made for evening workers and mums, who can bring their kids along to take part in the sports for niños while doing their own thing..

There’s also boxing, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), which is better known as the awesome sport of cage-fighting, plus all the other martial arts for men and women

alike. And no one demonstrates the Xtreme spirit more than boxer Simon Taggart, who sports the most incredible Mohican hair style.

The 27-year-old barman, competing at welterweight on last Friday’s exciting Fight Night bill in front of a packed house at the gym, put his heart and soul on the line against a more experienced opponent.

True, he’s short on style, but certainly not substance as he kept up a constant barrage throughout the three rounds, only to lose the verdict.

It was a somewhat harsh decision - a draw would have been fairest - but Simon, who works at JR’s Sports Bar on the Golf del Sur, took it in his stride.

“It was my first fight for a year and I enjoyed it,” he said, the cheers from his army of fans still ringing in his ears.”

Ian, who puts him through his paces when his regular coach is unavailable, said: “I’ve got a soft spot for Simon because he’s such a trier.

“He emphasises everything that’s good about our members, and I believe he will eventually end up cage-fighting because he has so much enthusiasm for a scrap.”

In his time, Ian, who is a builder by trade, has been a pub doorman and security guard in his home-town Bournemouth, where he also had a part-share in a gym.

He came to Tenerife seven years ago with his partner, Rachael, and moved into a caravan at Camping Nauta, near Guaza, where he ran the

b a r for some years before coming across the shell of a building which was to become Xtreme Fitness. And it genuinely is the house that Jack built or, rather, that Ian built.

He designed and constructed the gym exactly as he pictured it would be. It’s a huge area, with plenty of room for a boxing ring or a cage-fighting ring, and even one for kick-boxing.

The quality gym equipment, imported from the UK, includes some from the London Olympics, no less, and is up on the first floor of this spacious gym, as is the bar at the opposite end.

And if the premises are good enough for twotime world boxing champion Ricky Hatton …

Yes, the popular lightwelterweight from Manchester, now retired but operating as a trainer, manager and promoter, has a holiday home

in Tenerife and always trains at Xtreme when he’s over here.

“The deal is that I can let people know he uses the gym to promote us, but only when he’s finished training,” said Ian. “He wants his privacy, and I respect that.

He’s a nice guy and I’m so pleased he has got his act together again after a rocky period.”

The gym doesn’t just cater for world champions.

Xtreme’s boxing coach is Vassili Boguslavski, who trains Sweden’s Olympic male and female teams, as well as a small stable of pro fighters.

He moved here after the London Games and, so highly is he regarded that the Swedes come to him rather than the other way round.

They will prepare at home for the big competitions, and then finish off over here, under his watchful eye at Xtreme.

Another big-name instructor on the books is Brazilian Gustav Manhas, who has a wealth of experience teaching jiujitsu, while Pep Padovano has 35 years of training cage-fighters under his belt.

“Cage Fighting is the fastest-growing sport of all, and it’s a real feather in our cap to have these instructors on board,” says Ian. The gym, which lies in a side-turning off the San Miguel road up from Las Chafiras, is easy to find.

Take a right, just a few yards up from the lefthand Lidl turning, and it’s down on the righthand side.

For further details about all aspects of the Xtreme Fitness gym, call Ian on 922 736 191 (mornings until 1pm and evenings after 5pm).
