Ricky Martin plays LA Continued from Front

Martin, his musicians and dancers have spent a few weeks rehearsing for the One World Tour, and, according to the press release, “it brings one of the most sophisticated and largest production techniques for a concert in the history of music” to islands!

Canaries’ DJ Ray Castilian, the warm-up act, starts when the doors open at 6pm. Martin, his 10-strong band of musicians and eight dancers will take to the stage at around 8.30pm.

Promoters say that over 18,000 tickets have already been sold. On his facebook page, Ricky said: “I am very happy to take the One World Tour to two beautiful islands like Tenerife and Gran Canaria.” And his European tour comes after a well-received start in America.

The bestoke stage covers 320sq/m, and the structure will house eight screens, complete with more than 220 mobile lights weighing 12 tons. In addition, 1½ million-watt electric generators produce the power.

Seven cameras, three of them robotised, will take images for future broadcast. And a technical team of 30 people, part of Martin’s 50-strong entourage, will be assisted by a local production company.

Security will be tight.

There will be plenty of private security guards in attendance, along with national and local police. There will be parking restrictions close by and police will set up a temporary road system in central Las Americas, from 5pm.

And there will also be a field hospital inside the stadium, with four ambulances.

Arona Mayor Jose Julian Mena said at a press conference how proud he was to have such a star here. “For many, Ricky Martin is as big a name as we could get,” he added.

“Recently, we have had Marc Anthony, and this concert is another example of what we can achieve with the support of the public.

“Ricky sets a great example to the younger generation, and his foundation shows what sort of a person he is. All

the big concerts in the South of Tenerife have been very well supported, and it’s pleasing to hear that so many tickets have already been sold for this event.”

After this weekend,

Ricky takes the tour to the Spanish mainland with shows in Madrid and Merida. In addition, the multi-Grammy winner will continue his world tour in the Middle East, the United States

and Latin America.

The One World Tour, which began in New Zealand in April, 2015, was hailed immediately as one of the year’s best productions, both in ticket sales and produc-

tion quality.

In Argentina, it was billed as the largest tour by an international artist in years, with over 17 concerts and more than 200,000 tickets sold.

The show has five high-definition video screens; cutting-edge stage design that syncs the visual display with the music; eight costume changes and exciting choreography complement the artist’s performance.

Martin’s show includes four phases: dance, rock, ballads and tribal, with a repertoire that leads the audience through different emotional and rhythmic states as it takes them through his musical oeuvre.

Hits like Come With Me, She Bangs, La Mordidita, Tal Vez, Livin’ La Vida Loca, Pégate, Adiós, La Bomba, Cup Of Life and Asignatura Pendiente, among many other favourites, are all part of the set.

Martin also takes advantage of each concert to fight against humantrafficking, a humanitarian mission he engages in via the foundation that bears his name and which prioritises the well-being of atrisk children with programmes that encourage education, health and social justice.

It has been a brilliant year for the artist.

He bagged his second Grammy in the category of Best Latin Pop Album for his latest album Who wants to hear, which has also gone platinum in the US, Puerto Rico and Argentina.

And the Puerto Rican superstar has sold more than 60 million albums in his career.

Tourism revenue is still blossoming TOURISM continues to have a real impact on the national economy, according to the Bank of Spain.

And the last two months enjoyed a marked increase in the amount of direct and indirect revenue brought into the country.

July and August saw a rise in income, against the same 2015 period, and it was the first successive months of growth in the tourism balance this year.

Tourism-related revenues totalled nearly 23bn euros from January to June - up more than 6.8% than the respective two months last year. Meanwhile,

tourism services accelerated with doubledigit growth rate and a rise of 19.8%, to 7.8 billion euros.

In June alone, the tourism sector brought in 5.6bn euros, representing 11.9% higher year-on-year figures.

In the last quarter, Spain exceed 25 million international tourists, according to the latest Coyuntur report, pre-

pared by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.

It described the quarter as “providing a remarkable growth in both entries of foreign visitors to Spain, and an increase in the number of affiliated tourism-related social security, following dynamics similar to the first months of growth.”

Name that volcano, or even the cocktail WHAT’S in a name? That has been asked a few times, and now local bars will try to explain - with cocktails! That’s because the latest “Volcanoes go to the bars” event was launched last Thursday.

It runs until March and will feature bars in 22 local municipalities, offering their own bespoke cocktails that bear the names of Tenerife volcanoes, and other volcanic areas.

The idea is to create a “local drink which captures the essence of our volcanic island”.

Co-ordinator Nemesio Perez told a press conference that the challenge was to mix a fun activity with an educational aim.

The idea is, he said: “A person seeking a cocktail in one of the 22 establishments can learn the basics of geography, and the volcanoes which have inspired the names of the cocktails.”

Perez also said that while this initiative is running, there will be videos in the bars depicting volcanic

phenomena, which allow people to “enjoy and understand volcanoes through the images that will be played”.

Tenerife Tourism Minister Alberto Bernabe said that the initiative, despite not having a great economic investment, required “many ideas and was a project devised with great enthusiasm”.

He added: “We want an increasingly-integrated tourism destination, and the tourist is interested in what is in the Canary Islands.”

The ceremony was also attended by Puerto de la Cruz Tourism Councillor Dimple Melwani, who said that since last year’s “quite successful” first event, the

organisers had already exceeded the number of participating bars.

The first challenge attracted 17 entries, while this year it features 22 bars so far.

“Volcanoes go to the bars” began on 1st September and ends on 30th March with an award ceremony.

Anyone fancy a “Teide Twister”?

Hospital chiefs told: Keep belts tightened THE Canarian Government confirmed this week that its Health Ministry has warned hospital managers they must not deviate from the agreed financial budget.

The instruction is a direct order for them not to overspend in what is now the last quarter of the department’s financial year.

“Cost containment”

is the buzzword after last month’s increased spending in the ER departments.

The University Hospital of the Canary Islands (HUC), reported that it met with the Ministry after it was ordered to find savings of between 750,000 and one million euros. And, it seems, there will also be some job cuts and fewer temporary contracts, and those on sick leave will not be replaced. Also, part-time contracts ending before 31st December may not be renewed.

The tourist towns feeling the pinch

AS we all know, tourism is the great engine of the Islands’ economy.

Last year the sector was worth more than 32% of the regional gross domestic product (GDP) and generates directly and indirectly, around 40% of our total employment.

The sector has, for the last few years, enjoyed an unprecedented boom, and figures across the board have beaten record after record.

And the Canaries Government has estimated that this year, the Archipelago will exceed a total of 14 million visitors.

Despite the facts, though, all is not well in its tourist areas, and it appears that the average personal income is below the regional average.

That’s according to research out this week, which has studied income-tax returns by municipalities.

The latest Tax Agency report reveals the gross income of more than 8,000 municipalities in Spain, as well as the average, disposable income after paying taxes.

In the Archipelago, only the municipality of Teguise, in Lanzarote, which has had major recent hotel developments, is above the island’s average, with a 5% higher income.

Surprisingly, the rest of the tourist areas do not even get close.

Puerto de la Cruz is the

15th richest region, yet is still 1% lower than the regional average.

San Bartolome de Tirajana, in Gran Canaria, is 23rd but 4.8% lower; Adeje is 34th (11.6%), Arona 56th (19.3%), San Miguel de Abona, 53rd (20.2%) and Santiago del Teide, 58th (21.2%).

In absolute terms, the average income declared to the tax authorities in Puerto de la Cruz amounts to 21,940 euros; 21,070 in San Bartolome de Tirajana; 19,798 in Adeje; 17,852 in Arona; and 17,652 in Santiago del Teide.

Thirteen municipalities - seven in Tenerife - exceed this level of regional wealth and, therefore, are the richest in the Canary Islands.

Topping the wealth charts is Santa Brigida (Gran Canaria), where each inhabitant declares 33,236 euros, followed by El Rosario (Tenerife), with 28,674.

The following are the two provincial capitals: Las Palmas (26,159 euros) and Santa Cruz de Tenerife (25.159), Candelaria (24,719), Tegueste (24. 313), Tacoronte (23,812), El Sauzal (23,671), Teguise (23,584), La Laguna (23,263), Brena Baja (23,100), Haria (22,588) and Arucas (22,263).

The remainder, all 74 Canarian municipalities, have less than the regional average wealth.

Organised gang started triple-blaze destruction THOUSANDS of people, evacuated late on Sunday following three huge fires in the Alicante region, near Valencia, were allowed to return home on Tuesday - if their homes were still standing!

On the hottest day of the year there, the blazes were initially thought to have been started deliberately by two youngsters, but an organised gang has now been blamed Police are hunting them down, even though, astonishingly, they are believed to have started more fires in the area on Monday afternoon.

As the temperature soared to 40C on Sunday, homes and woodland were destroyed, and swarms of people were evacuated.

More than 200 firefighters, alongside volunteers, were deployed to tackle the fires at Javea and the resort of

Benitatxell, as police were forced to close roads, with the blaze ripping through Cumbres de Sol, Granadella and Playa del Arenal.

The speed of the encroaching fire left terrified residents barely time to collect their belongings, and, in many cases, grab their pets, before being told to flee their homes.

There was utter confusion in Javea, by Cumbres de Sol, with some people bunking down at the homes of friends. At least 250 people spent

the night in a college, and more than 70 others were put up in a school.

Yet emergency services virtually had the fire under control - until it re-energised when water-dumping aircraft were forced to stop work after the 8pm cutoff time, at sunset.

Jose Maria Angel, head of Valencia emergency services, told Spanish radio he believed that the fires, which ripped through vegetation and destroyed buildings in the area, were down to “the hand of man … in a

Guaza’s rain test for road workers THEY have had all summer! Now, at last, the muchdiscussed Guaza drainage works will begin … literally, just a few weeks before the annual October showers.

The Cabildo has given the green light for work on “Roads and Landscape”, on the Guaza road link, to avoid overflows occurring at this point near the South motorway whenever it rains heavily.

The works, which will cost more than 725,000 euros, are on the shoulder of the TF1, at Kilometre 69.

They should be complete within eight months and consist of channelling the Las Toscas ravine, and, in particular, installing a concrete pipeline, to run alongside the motorway.

Ofelia Manjon, Insular

Roads Director, said this will be the first phase of drainage works at the Guaza roundabout, aiming to prevent the area turning into a pond.

Only a couple of years ago, water swelled so high in the tunnel there that a few car passengers - including a pregnant woman - nearly drowned.

Last October, Arona Mayor Jose Julian Mena asked the Cabildo, in

strong terms, when it would start channelling the Las Toscas ravine.

At the time, he requested the inclusion of what he called the “urgent work in the Island budget for 2016”.

His persistence has paid off. But with the rainy season not too far away, it remains to be seen how much difference there will be this year.

very precise way”.

The fires continued to rage through Monday, and Regional government chiefs authorised a major increase in troops from Spain’s Military Emergencies Unit (UME) to bolster the battle.

The number of soldiers deployed was increased from 43 to 222, and the number of vehicles from 22 to 65.

The Agriculture, Food & Environment Ministry also increased the number of water planes and helicopters dousing the flames to 28, and local roads were still cut off.

Finally, late on Tuesday evening, the fires were finally classified as “stabilised”, if not yet “controlled” or “extinguished”.

The blaze had been contained within a 2,000-acre perimeter, with smouldering areas being doused when necessary. The fires

were finally classified as “stabilised”, if not yet “controlled” or “extinguished”.

The blaze was contained within a 2,000acre perimeter, the smouldering areas doused when necessary.

So, after a fraught few days dominated by fear, residents of Javea and Benitatxell were attempting, bravely, to return to normality amid the ashes.

The ferocious wildfires, which destroyed dozens of homes, and scorched huge swathes of Costa Blanca’s scenic environment, had abated, thanks to the courageous efforts of fire-fighters, the military and volunteers.

But though the Red Cross and emergency services allowed residents to return to their homes, many simply couldn’t because several properties in La Granadella, Javea, Milfulles,

Tosalet and Pinsol had been damaged or destroyed.

Sobering scenes in the aftermath showed burnt-out cars, blackened lands, and piles of rubble and ashes where, last week, there were family homes.

On top of the horror and terror - the arsonists responsible were still lighting new fires in La Granadella as late as Monday afternoon, when a full-scale rescue effort was underway.

Mercifully, though, the wider situation was officially under control.

Seprona, the Guardia Civil’s environmental protection unit, is seeking witnesses as police strengthen their resolve to capture the arsonists.

Sightings of suspicious vehicles around Benitatxell are being investigated, and officials have pledged that the culprits will face “the full weight of the law”.

Top World Bank job for smeared Industry chief?

A FORMER Spanish Industry Minister, who resigned following allegations of links to offshore dealings, has been nominated to be the country’s World Bank representative.

The allegations emerged after Jose Manuel Soria was named in the Panama Papers. Yet the Economy Ministry said the Spanish Government had proposed him to be the World Bank’s Executive Director.

Soria denied any wrong-doing. But he resigned as minister in April, following reports of alleged links to an offshore company on Jersey, to limit any damage to Spain’s caretakergovernment, the conservative People’s Party (PP). He stepped down in June,

ahead of Spain’s second national election in seven months, which ended as inconclusively as the previous one in December.

The nomination was announced when acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy failed at the second attempt to win a new term, increasing the likelihood of Spain staging its third election in a year.

It could become another public embarrassment for the PP caretaker-government, which has been plagued by a string of corruption scandals.

And opposition Socialists say they will demand that Economy Minister Luis de Guindos appear in parliament urgently to explain the reasons for the government’s nomination.

The PP has faced a number of investigations over allegations

of misappropriating public funds and influence-peddling, which have led to the resignation of several of its politicians.

But Rajoy’s party has denied it has a problem with corruption, saying the cases are isolated and that it is tackling them.

The World Bank’s 189 govern o r s a r e

expected to vote on Soria’s candidature as part of the process of appointing 25 executive directors.

The Economy Ministry says the Spanish Government examines the suitability of candidates based on their publicservice track record, as well as on their experience when selecting for international posts.

It is also significantly less than the Government hoped for - and promised - at the time.

The latest figures, released by Spain’s central bank on Tuesday, was part of a broader review of the country’s banking bailout.

They offer a sobering contrast with the bailout experience of the US after 2008, when Washington managed to turn a profit on its 620bn-dollar, financial-sector res-

cue package. The Bank of Spain report makes clear that Madrid stands to make further gains in the years ahead; not least by fully-privatising the two lenders which remain in state hands: Bankia and Banco Mare Nostrum.

Bankia’s parent group, BFA, has already raised 1.3bn euros through a partial sale, which it has yet to pass on to the state, and which is not included in the preliminary total. Bankia’s current market value stands at about 9bn euros.

But even including the anticipated proceeds from future sales and from convertible bonds holdings worth 991m euros, the government looks certain to recoup a mere a fraction of the funds it pumped into the system.

Luis de Guindos, Spain’s Economy Minis-

A JOINT operation between Tenerife’s National Police officers and the Italian Polizia di Stato has led to the arrest of an Italian bank robber who fled Italy 14 years ago.

He had been involved in an armed robbery in a bank, a tobacconist and a general store.

The arrest took place near a Santa Cruz flea market, forming part of an operation in which various European police forces - from Spain, Bel-

gium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Portugal - are working on cross-border cases.

When returned to Italy, the bank robber, who was tracked down by the Fugitive Location Group, in conjunction with Italian Police who helped arrest him, can expect to be jailed for a maximum 5½ years.

Here in the South, there are four Italian officers from Naples and Rome who are not only able to assist Italian tourists in their own language but are also able to link with the National Police in this type of operation.

Phew! What a shock!

Spain recoups just fraction of bailout SPAIN has recovered just 2.69bn euros of the 53.55bn it spent on bailing out the country’s tottering banking system four years ago, which is a fraction of the total.

Italian bank robber is pinched in flea market

ter and architect of the country’s 2012 overhaul of the banking system, has said repeatedly that Madrid expects to recover “most” of the financial aid granted to the sector.

The Economy Ministry said on Tuesday: “We continue to work towards recovering most of the aid.”

Spain’s banking system came close to collapse in mid-2012, mainly as a result of the reckless expansion drive of its highly-politicised, regional savings banks during the country’s decade-long property boom.

Saddled with billions of euros of toxic loans and real-estate assets, dozens of the so-called cajas were threatened by bankruptcy - forcing Madrid to seek European help for a sector bail-out.

The clean-up, controversial at the time, prompted fury among

hundreds of thousands of retail investors, who felt they were duped into buying preference shares in some of the stricken lenders.

The near-collapse of Bankia, in particular, has given rise to countless law suits and criminal investigations, and has tainted the reputations of dozens of senior bankers.

All the same, most analysts regard Spain’s 2012 bank restructuring as a success, especially when set against the lingering problems that continue to haunt Italy’s financial sector.

Doubts over the stability of the Spanish banking system have largely disappeared, and, according to recent central bank data, the flow of credit again runs smoothly, for both households and small enterprises.

A NEW biogas plant, which converts manure into energy and cost 3.7 million euros, has begun operating in Andalucia.

The plant, based in Campillos and a first for the region, converts livestock manure from pigs, goats, chickens and turkeys into

thermal and electric energy. It has the capacity to handle around 60,000 tonnes of manure each year, which can produce up to 16 million KwH of electricity and reduce CO2 emissions by 13,000 tonnes.

The local Giesa Agroenergia company says there is potential to build thousands more across Spain.

Police swoop on gun gang EUROPOL, the European law enforcement agency, has announced the arrest of 52 people during a clampdown on a network of drugand-weapon smugglers network in Spain and Lithuania.

The group were said to have hidden marijuana in fruitand-vegetable shipments inside Europe.

And, in harness, they modified deactivated firearms to put them back into use and sold them.

The law operation,

which started in 2015, resulted in the dismantling of marijuana plantations in Spain and workshops for modifying weapons in the two countries.

Lithuanian police said at least 50 guns were seized, including AK-47 assault rifles and Makarov pistols.

Edvardas Sileris, their deputy police inspector, said the group bought the guns from collectors and gun enthusiasts and reactivated them in their workshops.

Brexit fear leads to a Brits’ Spanish course

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

A silent killer AS regular listeners to my breakfast show on Oasis Fm will testify, I am a massive Bruce Springsteen fan. For 45 years his songs have captured the public imagination. A workingclass guy, done good.

His songs resonated with people all over the world. He has tackled many subjects in a way that makes the listener understand.

He has almost universal respect among music writers and interviewers. Well-known for being a nice, regular guy, all his closet pals and band-mates talk about how much he hasn’t changed. Ever.

And yet, as with all geniuses, there is a flaw.

The fact that he has kept it so well-hidden is, in itself, revealing.

As our story on the entertainment page this week reports, Springsteen has been battling with severe depression.

How can such a wellloved man, who seems to have it all, be battling something like this? I’m

sure millions have been asking themselves that question.

In a few weeks, we get the chance to find out when his autobiography is released. For months, Bruce has promised it will be a warts-and-all read. There will be no sugar-coating and no hiding.

His wife, Patti Scialfa, has already commented that it is, maybe, too personal. But that is what us fans expect from The Boss.

This early revelation has at least got us talking again about depression; the irony being that, normally, it is the silence on the subject that is the real killer.

A lot of people view suicide as a coward’s way out. I’m not so sure.

How desperate does someone have to be to believe that the end is the only option left?

Recently, there has been a great social media campaign aimed at men. The message is: “It’s OK to talk”. How often have you heard someone say, “If I only they had asked?” Or, “I wish they had said something?”

You are no less of a man by seeking help.

As the saying goes. “It’s good to talk.”

A COLLEGE on the Costa del Sol has created a course for British expats living in Spain who want to become citizens there because they are concerned about Brexit repercussions.

The Parnell Academy, in Mijas, begins the “Brexpats Spanish Nationality Course” next week.

It is aimed at teaching Britons “command of the language and a general knowledge of its customs, history, culture, politics, sports, etc,” so they can pass the Spanish citizenship test.

The course is being run in partnership with the Brexpats in Spain group, formed in the aftermath of June’s Brexit

vote to support British citizens in Spain, worried about their rights and state pensions.

“Due to Brexit, its repercussions and the ongoing need to learn Spanish, Parnell Academy has teamed up with Brexpats in Spain to offer Spanish courses that cover everything needed to pass the Spanish Nationality Exam,” says the college.

“Join this course to

prepare yourself for the Spanish Nationality Exam, and take a positive step towards integration into Spanish culture and language.”

But this citizenship test is, apparently, a lot harder than people may think.

“Questions range from legal opening hours of businesses in Spain, to knowledge of national holidays and the different sort of climates that

exist across Spain,” said Parnell Academy director Natasha Parnell. “And then there is sporting knowledge, and questions on how our political system works.”

Anne Hernandez, founder of the Brexpats in Spain, said: “A lot of people who live in this area have expressed concern about how they will be affected by Brexit, what implications will it have on their right to live here, and their healthcare and pensions.”

The Foreign Office advises that there are no immediate changes for Britons travelling or living within the EU. They still have the right to work in all EU countries, to travel in the normal way, to use their UK passports and other documentation, and their pensions and healthcare also remain unchanged.”

Arona clean-up suits the area - and new workers ARONA Council has initiated a project to improve rural areas, which will have the double boost of taking 45 people in the municipality off the longterm unemployed list.

A new investment of more than 132,000 euros, financed under the Employment Promotion Programme, will see work on cleaning up the municipality’s roadsides and paths, canyons, trails and other public spaces.

Deputy Mayor Jose Antonio Reveron spoke with the new workers at Valle San Lorenzo Cultural Centre this week, and stressed the importance of their work.

“We all want to have a cleaner world,” he told them. “This initiative will see our canyons ready for winter to prevent fires. It will also bring the proper values to this municipality, and the pride of having a cleaner Arona, which is more respectful to its nature.”

Most of the work will be on the rural paths, roads and areas, and Reveron said this had a major part to play in the borough’s development.

“We are working to improve our economy, which generates more jobs,” he said. “And we hope this project is, for many of you, the first step to finding a job that suits your needs.”

The clean-up project will embrace the 45 people - 43 labourers and two managers - on

an initial, three-month contract.

Arona’s contribution is just over 7,000 euros, and the rest consists of a state grant from the Employment Promotion Programme of the Agrarian Depressed Rural areas of the Public

State Employment Service.

Work will focus on rural and agricultural areas of Valle San Lorenzo, La Camella and Arona Centre, including link roads, the recreational park of El Almendro, ravines and other areas.

Deadly virus leaves women hospitalised TWO days after a deadly virus claimed its first casualty in western Europe, Spanish health authorities identified two new possible cases of Crimean- Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF).

The victims, both women, were placed in isolation wards in Madrid hospitals after showing symptoms of the virus, endemic to the Balkans, Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

One is a health worker from one of the city’s regional health service’s analysis laboratories “who had contact with the affected patients”.

The other woman hospitalised said her husband had recently been bitten by a tick in Ávila

province - the same central Spain area where a 62-year-old man died after picking up the virus from a tick.

The nurse treating him became infected and was admitted last week to Madrid’s La

Paz-Carlos III hospital, where she is said to be in a “stable but serious condition”.

It is the same hospital in which a nurse was treated in 2014 after contracting ebola from a Spanish missionary,

who fell ill in Africa. A further 282 people, who had contact with one or both of the two confirmed cases, are being closely monitored for CCHF, which has a fatality rate in humans of around 30% according

to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The virus is transmitted to people, either by tick bites or through contact with infected blood or other bodily secretions.

Initial symptoms are

a headache, fever, aching muscles in neck or back, dizziness, plus possible vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and a sore throat, followed by mood swings and depression.

Finally, the liver is affected and bleeding rashes appear on the skin, mouth and throat.

Severely-ill patients may experience kidney, liver or lung failure after around five days of showing symptoms.

The incubation period after a tick bite is up to nine days. There is no specific treatment or vaccine.

The presence of CCHF in Spanish ticks was first discovered in 2011, when scientists warned that the disease would become a threat to humans in the country.

But authorities have called for calm, saying that person-to-person infection outside of hospitals and residences is extremely rare.

Major motorway works set to start

Flights of fancy, going for a song EVERYONE loves a bargain … and a cheap flight. And this one certainly catches the eye.

Air Europa is this week running its Minimax campaign - a new promotional offer costing just 27 euros per flight, from the Canary Islands.

The campaign, run by the airline division

of the Globalia tourism group, is valid for purchases made until Sunday (11th Sept) on flights up to 15th June 2017.

It covers most domestic destinations, departing from the Peninsula, Balearic and Canary Islands.

This Air Europa promotion offers passengers flights from 19 euros each way, from the Baleares to the Peninsula, or from 27 euros

each way from the Canaries.

Similarly, the company has flights from 39 euros each way to European destinations from the Canaries. And there are even some flights to parts of South America and the Caribbean from just 259 euros!

But remember, all ticket purchases must be made by Sunday for whenever you plan to fly!

THE Cabildo has finally signed off the budget for the TF-5 North motorway improvements, which will take about six months and cost 5.6 million euros.

Cabildo President Carlos Alonso confirmed the details, which will affect both directions on the road, from the Tres de Mayo Avenue

tunnel in Santa Cruz to the surrounding areas of Los Rodeos airport.

This measures exactly 13 kilometres of road, and Alonso said: “It includes improving the surface and new lower layers, to reinforce the overall structure of the road. There will also be work on the pavement link to Taco and surrounding areas.”

The work will run parallel with the alreadyagreed upgrades to the South motorway.

The TF-1, between Las Chafiras and Fañabe, has a similar budget, and, said Alonso: “These are two very important actions, given that the whole traffic of both routes is around 200,000 vehicles a day.”

Most of the work will be carried out at night to avoid inconveniencing drivers. The TF-1 upgrade will start soon, while the TF-5 improvements should begin at the end of September.

Lunch-box shame RESEARCHERS at the University of Leeds have discovered that primary school-children’s lunch-boxes are still filled with high levels of saturated fats, sugars and salts., despite all the protests from nutritionists.

Just one in five lunchboxes contains any vegetables or salad and, of all the lunch-boxes examined, less than 20% met the standards for energy, vitamin A or zinc. Just 26% met the standard for iron, while between 52% and 60% contained too many sweet and savoury snacks, and 46% included sugary drinks.

The research, commissioned by Flora, found that the quality of

youngsters’ lunch-boxes has improved by just 0.5% in the last 10 years.

Flora is working with MP Sharon Hodgson, chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) of School Food.

The Government is being urged to put packed-lunches at the heart of its childhood obesity drive.

Campaigners want to cut down on the number of crisp bags, chocolate biscuits and sugary drinks being brought into schools.

Jo Nicholas, head of research at the Children’s Food Trust, said: “We’ve got to do more to help parents and schools with this. Putting a packed-lunch policy in place can be tough.

“But every school allowing packed-lunches needs one if we’re to make life easier for parents, and give kids a consistent message.”

Mother Teresa is now a Saint MOTHER Teresa, who worked with the dying and destitute in the Indian city of Kolkata, has been declared a saint by Pope Francis.

Tens of thousands gathered in St Peter’s Square on Sunday as the Pontiff held the holy Canonisation Mass for

the late Nun, revered as one of the 20th Century icons.

The service took place the day before the 19th anniversary of her death, and Pope Francis said in Latin: “For the honour of the Blessed Trinity … we declare and define Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata) to be a Saint, and we enrol her among the Saints, decreeing that she is to be venerated

as such by the whole Church.”

Such was - and still is her worldwide popularity that people started clapping and cheering even before he had finished speaking.

Among the audience were hundreds of sisters from the Missionaries of Charity, the mission founded by Mother Teresa, with their trademark blue-trimmed saris. And joining them

Cash rolls in for car sales IT has been a good year for the Spanish car industry, and, after a strong six months, the sales graph continues to head upwards.

Sales in the Canaries rose 22.2% in August, against the same month last year. This adds up to a total of 3,614 units, according to data released by the manufacturers’ associations (Anfac), sellers (Ganvam) and auto-manufacturers ( Faconauto).

Overall, sales have in-

creased 19.3% over the 2015 figures. And in the Canary Islands 34,502 new vehicles have rolled off the forecourt.

By provinces, and in August, Santa Cruz de Tenerife increased its sales by 29.2% to 1,522, while in Las Palmas, it rose 17.6% to 2,092.

In the whole of Spain, registrations closed in August with 64,089 units, representing the best monthly figure for eight years.

This signifies a 14.6% growth, and, in the first eight months of the year, deliveries stood at 794,629 units, which was 11.3% up.

Foreign spending goes through roof THE Canaries recorded a record high spending by foreign tourists for July.

The figure is the best in the Islands’ history.

Revenues rose to a total of 1.364bn euros, which is a mightilyimpressive 15.4% more than in 2015.

That revenue was also the second-largest per month ever documented in the Archipelago since the statistics began. It is only behind March this year, when the grand sum

of 1.483bn euros was spent, says the Egatur Tourist Expenditure Survey, released by the National Statistics Institute (INE).

The daily expenditure per person, on average, is 139 euros.

The average length of stay of each tourist is now a little over eight days, which is 3.8% more than in the same month last year.

The visitor numbers also hit a record high, up to the end of July.

And in the first seven months of 2016, tourists have spent 8.432bn euros!

The homeless people were provided with a pizza lunch after the Canonisation ceremony in honour of her work.

Saint Teresa of Kolkata, as she will now be known, founded and ran a mission for four decades in what was then Calcutta - one of India’s largest cities, where levels of deprivation were high.

Mother Teresa underwent beatification - the first step in the path to Sainthood - in 2003 when Pope John Paul II recognised officially as a miracle the apparent curing of a woman of cancer. Monica Besra claims her stomach tumours disappeared after a medallion bearing Mother Teresa’s image was placed on her stomach.

On Sunday, a second apparent miracle was acknowledged: the curing of a Brazilian man’s brain tumour.

Pope Francis is understood to regard the late Nun as a model for his Jubilee Year of Mercy.

Public health shame THE Public Health Service operating in the Valencia Community and the Canary Islands remain, for the eighth consecutive year, the two worst in Spain.

That drastic reflection comes from the latest report published by the Federation for the Defence of Public Health (FADSP).

This group assigns the Canarian Health Service a rating of 49 points on a scale from

26 (the minimum) to 106 (the maximum).

That score is just above that obtained by Valencia, who received a paltry 46.

The situation improved slightly in the Canaries, compared with 2015, when the FADSP put us rockbottom.

The little ones enjoyed the official opening of the sixth experience of opening the capital to shopping on Sunday.

The scheme, called “Come to Santa Cruz”, was organised by the Society of Development, and the programme comprised more than a dozen leisure and entertainment activities in various parts of the Tourist Zone.

And it proved its worth by attracting thousands of residents and visitors over a 10hour period.

Along with the foam party, there was a stringed puppet

show and a kung fu exhibition, while in the Plaza del Principe, there were face-painting and storytelling workshops, with a swing band leading an impromptu dance show!

Close by, on Ruiz de Padrón, over 40 artists set up a small market, selling items such as copper jewellery, textiles and Canarian delicacies, including home-made mojos and sweets, cheeses, wines and many other items.

And the initiative wasn’t restricted to shops because more than 20 restaurants and cafes offered special tapas-and-drink packages, which set up a mini-gastronomic route.

Law cracks down on ‘Revenge Porn’ men SINCE new laws to tackle the crime were introduced last year, “Revenge Pornography” prosecutions have topped 200, says an official report.

The figure was disclosed as it emerged that violent offences against women - including rape and domestic abuse - had risen by 10% in 2015/6.

Alison Saunders, Di-

rector of Public Prosecutions and Britain’s most senior prosecutor, warned of a “growing trend” of offences perpetrated on, or through, social media.

Figures published by the Crown Prosecution Service revealed that there were 206 cases against defendants accused of so-called “revenge porn”.

They are accused of disclosing private, sexual images without consent, says the CPS’s Violence Against Women and Girls report.

11½m euros of free aid THE total sum of money spent on legal aid continues to rise in the Canary Islands.

And, according to the accounts released this week, the local government awarded nearly 11½ million euros over the last 12 months.

This went towards barristers and solicitors for the provision of

legal aid, corresponding cases and research.

Of this sum, nearly 1½m euros went towards training fees for new legal workers. This included course fees and tuition costs.

The Canarian government provides coverage of Free Legal Assistance for those unable to fund themselves.

The offence, carrying a maximum sentence of two years, was introduced in April 2015, after calls from campaigners.

Previously, such cases were dealt with through existing copyright or harassment laws.

The figures also showed that “obscenity” offences, including cases under the malicious communications act, rose 20% to just under 7,000.

Ms Saunders said: “There is a growing trend of crimes committed on or through social media.

But since the new legislation, there have been over 200 prosecutions for disclosing private sexual images without consent.

“We have also found that defendants in controlling or coercive cases rely on tactics such as GPS tracking and monitoring phone or email messages. The use of the internet, so-

cial media and other forms of technology to humiliate, control and threaten individuals is rising.”

The report also showed that in 2015/16: *There were record numbers of rape prosecutions (4,643) and convictions (2,689) in 2015/16.

*Nearly 12,000 defendants were prosecuted for sexual offences other than rape - a 22.5% rise on the previous year *Child sexual-abuse prosecutions rose by 15.4%, from 5,387 to 6,217, with convictions up 16.8%, from 3,975 to 4,643

The Pill is helping cut ovarian cancer deaths THE Pill has enabled deaths from ovarian cancer in the UK to fall 22% in 10 years, say scientists.

In 2002, 7.51 out of every 100,000 women in Britain died from the disease. That rate fell to 5.86 10 years later, according to figures published in the Annals of Oncology journal .

And researchers believe that the downward trend is expected to continue until at least 2020.

The UK figures used World Health Organisation (WHO) data to analyse ovarian cancer-death rates across the globe between 1970 and 2012.

It noted a decline in death rates worldwide, but the trend varied significantly between countries.

Some, including Bulgaria, Brazil and Columbia, showed an increase in the number

of women dying from ovarian cancer. The study also found that a possible decline in the use of hormone replacement therapy for menopause could also be behind the decline in deaths.

It said: “The main reason for the favourable trends is the use of oral contraceptives (OCs), particularly in the US and those countries of the EU, where OCs were introduced earlier.

“Declines in menopausal hormone use may also have played a favourable role in elderly women, as well as improved diagnosis, management and treatment.”

And by 2020, the study authors predicted, 4.8 women out of every 100,000 across Europe would die from the disease, which would be seen as a considerable improvement.

Not-so-noble Nobel judges A SCANDAL involving a disgraced Italian transplant surgeon has led to two judges being sacked from a panel which picks the Nobel prize for medicine.

The decision to drop Harriet Wallberg and Anders Hamsten was taken after the Swedish Government sacked the entire board of the prestigious Karolinska Institute, where the scientist worked.

Doctor Paolo Macchiarini was acknowledged as a leading specialist on windpipe transplants. But two of his patients died, and he was accused of falsifying his work record.

He has denied all the charges against him.

The two sacked served as heads of the Karolinska Institute. They were among several individuals suspected of ignoring warnings about the windpipe scientist.

The 50-strong Nobel panel will announce the winner of the annual prize next month.

But Helene Hellmark Knutsson, Sweden’s Higher Education Min-

ister said on Monday: “Scandal is the right word. People have been harmed because of the actions of the Karolinska Institute and also the Karolinska University Hospital.”

Dr Macchiarini was hired in 2010, two years after being a member of the team which carried out the first windpipe transplant made partly of the patient’s stem cells.

And in 2011, he was hailed for leading a team which carried out the first synthetic organ transplant.

But he lost his job earlier this year after a TV documentary by Swedish broadcaster SVT showed footage of operations he carried out in Russia, which the Karolinska Institute itself even described as “truly alarming”.

Prosecutors in Sweden announced in June that they were investigating the stem-cell surgeon on suspicion of two cases of involuntary manslaughter at Swedish hospitals in 2011 and 2012.

Other reports have alleged that he gave false information on his resume.

Top state-school homes adding up to big Bucks PARENTS in England are forking out absolute fortunes for their homes to ensure they can send their kids to topperforming state schools - especially in Buckinghamshire.

Lloyds Bank research shows that many are willing to pay an average of £53,000 extra to secure homes close to schools with the best academic outcomes - Bucks has three in the top five which is a 31% increase on last year.

Average house prices have now reached £366,744 in the catchment areas surrounding England’s top 30 state schools, compared with the general average of £313,318 elsewhere.

The top schools are those judged with the strongest GCSE results last year. And six of the top 30 schools appear to have pushed house prices a huge £150,000 above their county averages.

This will delight Buckinghamshire owners living near Beaconsfield High School, who are sitting on the biggest premium of all, with the sale of homes increasing by almost £630,000 - way above the county’s £367,191 average price.

The Henrietta Barnett School in Barnet, London, came second on the list with a £429,506 premium on homes, followed by Sir William Borlase’s Grammar School, in Bucks

(+£220,082), Tiffin Girls’ School, in Kingston-upon-Thames (+£192,011) and Dr Challoner’s High School, also in Bucks (+£168,308).

Andrew Mason, mortgage products director at Lloyds Bank, said: “Schools with the best exam performance are proving to be an increasingly-strong draw for home-movers, because we’ve seen house prices rise sharply in locations close to such schools.

“Our analysis shows

that since 2011, average house prices in areas with the best state schools have increased by £76,000, compared with a national increase of £42,145.

“And seven of the areas covered in this survey have seen house prices rise by over £100,000 in the last five years.”

He added: “The popularity of areas close to high-performing schools may mean that homes remain unaffordable for buyers on average earnings.”

Lego’s wealth just keeps stacking up LEGO, the Danish toy company best known for its building bricks, recorded a £1.8bn turnover in the first half of this year, compared with the same period in 2015.

It amounts to an 11% sales’ increase, but, at the same time, net profit fell slightly to £393m.

Sales growth at the privately-owned firm was strong in Europe and Asia, with doubledigit increases in both regions, but flat in the Americas.

Yet Lego continued its global investment programme in the first six months of this year, with a new Chinese factory in Jiaxing starting to make parts, and another in Monterrey, Mexico, being expanded.

The firm has taken on more than 3,500 new

employees in the first half of 2016, compared with 12 months previously, to bring the total workforce to 18,500 people globally.

Lego group Chief

Executive Jorgen Vig Knudstorp said: “Maintaining double-digit growth, year-on-year, through more than a decade is a testament to the never-ending

possibilities that children find in Lego play.

“It is also the result of the hard work of more than 18,000 Lego colleagues around the world.”

No bones about it, this is a real dodo!

AN almost complete skeleton of a dodo, missing a part of the skull and one set of claws only, is set to be sold at auction.

It is expected to fetch a six-figure sum when it goes under the hammer at Summers Place Auctions, West Sussex, in November.

The composite of the extinct bird, put together in the early part of this century, is deemed to be 95% complete.

It is believed to be first composite dodo skeleton to be pieced together since the early 20th century. The majority of the composite’s bones were bought by the seller in the Seventies and Eighties and pieced

together over a number of decades. Rupert van der Werff, Summers Place Auctions director, told Sky News: “We got a telephone call out of the blue from somebody saying he had the skeleton of a dodo, but we didn’t really quite believe it.

“We thought all the remains that are out there were known. But it turned out that he amassed it over quite a few decades - and it is just extraordinary.”

The dodo, which lived in Mauritius only, was first seen by Dutch sailors in 1598, but it became extinct within 70 years.

The birds were about one metre tall, and they probably would have weighed between 1020kg.

Only one skeleton made from the bones of

a single dodo still exists, on display in Port Louis, Mauritius, and Summers Place curator Errol Fuller says the item is “amazingly rare”.

Composite skeletons held in museums around the world mostly come from bones collected from a Mauritius swamp in 1865.

Mr van der Werff said: “The seller has always been interested in dodos. He got some bones, found some other bones in auctions, got talking to collectors and came to realise that he was pretty close to having a full skeleton.”

He added: “It’s a very difficult thing to put a value on. It’s such an iconic species - a really good example and probably one of the best four or five there is. We hope it makes an awful lot of money!”

He’s the cat’s whiskers!

A MUSICIAN can genuinely consider himself to be the cat’s whiskers, after creating an album of music for feline listeners - even though he is allergic to them!

David Teie, a scientist and cellist in the US National Symphony Orchestra, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars through crowdfunding, and sold 10,000 copies of his record independently.

He has now been offered a deal with the Universal Music company, and his Music For Cats album is set for release on 28th October.

Teie said the music

was based on his scientific theory that cats appreciate music via the sounds they hear as kittens, such as their mother’s purr, or birds chirping.

He told the Press Association: “Not all cats respond - one will go right over to the speaker and one will just walk out of the room.

“Some cats seem to find the music relaxing, while others aren’t fussed, but I like the idea that critical taste applies to cats, too.

“I’ve seen videos where cats nuzzle up to the speaker or even curl completely around it.

Very excitable cats are completely calmed, and formerly abused or feral cats tend to respond best.”

The music is played at shelters, where, Teie

says, it can cut down the time it takes for a feral cat to interact with humans.

“It is communication in the cat’s language, of acceptance and understanding, and the comfort that goes along with that, he said.

He added: “While reptiles don’t have the brain structures for it, all mammals are ripe for music.”

A Universal Music spokesman said they were “thrilled to be part of this worldfirst project and able to break into the massive, untapped market of non-human music fans.

“The possibilities are endless for more species: specific ‘Music For’ albums, so dogs and horses could all be on the cards.”

GIANT Pandas, for 30 years regarded officially as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are no longer considered to be in this category.

The species had, since 1986, been rated as “endangered”, but it has now been reduced to the lower “vulnerable” status, thanks to the success of breeding programmes around the world, especially in its native China.

The IUCN, which decides the species most at risk according to a sliding scale known as the Red List, says the giant panda population rose by 17% in China in the decade to 2014.

The increase is a result of government efforts including measures to protect and recreate bamboo forests.

But the IUCN warned that climate change could wipe out more than one-third of the

panda’s bamboo habitat, which could reverse the gains made in population.

There are now 1,864 pandas in the wild, de-

scribed as “hugely encouraging” by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

Experts have warned that the success of the

giant panda needs to be taken in the wider context of a 52% average decline in the populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphib-

ians and fish around the globe between 1970 and 2010.

And now, Eastern, lowland gorillas have moved one step closer

to extinction after the IUCN changed their status to “critically endangered” following a 70% population decline in the last 20 years.

That, cruelly, is largely down to illegal hunting in Rwanda, Uganda and the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Conservationist Ian Redmond, who has studied gorillas for 40 years, told Sky News their reclassification was a “relief” because experts felt their decline was the case for some time.

It means four of the world’s six great apes - our nearest relatives - are now critically endangered.

However the population of the mountain gorilla, found in the volcanic mountains bordering the three African nations, has increased to around 880 individuals.

Plain zebras have also declined by around 25% in the last 14 years as a result of illegal hunting and are now “nearthreatened” on the latest Red List update.

BBC gets tough on iPlayer users PEOPLE who use the BBC’s iPlayer service are now risking prosecution and a £1,000 fine if they watch programmes without a TV licence.

That’s because the loophole, which meant only live TV was covered by the £145.50-a-year licence fee - allowing people who had missed BBC shows to watch for free on a mobile, tablet or catch-up ser-

vice - has been closed!

Viewers are now asked to confirm that they have a TV licence before watching any content on iPlayer, although they will not have to provide details.

Plans to update the licence-fee legislation were announced by the Government in May as part of a major BBC overhaul.

It is not certain how the new rules will be enforced because the Beeb has not revealed any plans to ask viewers for evidence that they have a valid licence.

People who already have a TV licence are not affected by the change, and viewers do not need a licence to watch on-demand programmes from other providers, such as NOW TV, Netflix, ITV Hub, All 4 or Demand 5.

Around 2% of UK households still without a licence will be sent information about the law change.

A BBC spokesman said: “At present, a pop-up window appears asking viewers to confirm they’ve got a TV licence when they

click to play live BBC content on iPlayer. And that will be updated to include on-demand BBC programmes on iPlayer.”

A TV Licensing spokesman said: “We know the vast majority of people are law-abiding, and we anticipate that those who need a licence for the first time will buy one.

“We have a range of enforcement techniques, which have already allowed us to prosecute people who watch on a range of devices – and not just TVs!”

Business

By Carol Schleisman of Currencies Direct

AFTER last week’s Bank Holiday, investments into the UK increased by 11%, which was a oneyear high. This showed the UK as an extremely desirable place in Europe to do business.

The benefits include fair taxation, English spoken (global language) and membership of the EU encouraging investors.

But we will have to see whether this is still the case after Article 50 is triggered!

UK is still so desirable

research, consumer confidence has grown somewhat, although, obviously, not to the levels seen prior to Brexit.

But with a run of good data the previous week, including unemployment figures, low interest rates, etc, it appears that the initial shock of leaving the EU has diminished since PM Theresa May stated that Article 50 would not be triggered until the New Year.

Last Thursday, the Pound was the best performing currency, spiking almost 1% against the Euro and US Dollar when the news showed a 54.4 increase within the manufacturing industry - its highest level since October last year.

Consumer goods saw an improvement in demand, and new business has risen at its quickest rate in the year, which indicates that this sector is surviving the

Brexit aftermath.

The surge of the British Pound leaves analysts predicting that this trend will continue.

How much it will gain, though, depends on the UK Services PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index), and this week’s manufacturing production data.

Obama attacked with ‘son of a whore’ insult PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte, leader of the Philippines, who should have met Barack Obama on Tuesday, regrets calling the US chief “a son of a whore” the previous day.

He also regrets that his comment came across as a personal attack on the outgoing US President.

But their first-time meeting, at the ASEAN

summit in Laos, was cancelled swiftly by the White House. a spokesman insisting the talks had been scrapped following the insult..

Duterte, who arrived in Laos on Monday, appeared to backtrack then, saying: “I do not want to quarrel with the most powerful country on the planet.”

A Philippines’ statement, issued on Tuesday, said: “The President looks forward to ironing out differences arising out of national priorities and perceptions, and working in mutually-responsible

ways for both countries.

“Our primary intention is to chart an independent foreign policy while promoting ties with all nations, especially the US, with which we have had a long-standing partnership.”

The Philippines’ leader had called Obama “a son of a whore”, while warning him not to raise questions about extra-judicial killings.

Duterte made the comment when asked by a reporter how he would explain himself if Obama did raise the issue.

“I don’t give a s*** about anybody observing my behaviour,” he said. “I am a president of a sovereign state, and we have long ceased to be a colony. I do not have any master except the Filipino people - nobody but nobody.

“You must be respectful. Do not just throw questions. Son of a whore, I will swear at you in that forum.”

Duterte added that his country had not received an apology for alleged misdeeds committed during the US colonisation of the Philippines in the last century.

More than 2,400 suspected drug-traffickers and users have been executed in the Phillipines since President Duterte launched a war on drugs after taking office in June.

The policy has been criticised by the Catholic Church, human rights groups and the United Nations.

President Obama, in Laos for meetings with South Asian leaders, will instead meet with South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

pated, with predictions that 14 million will venture to the Canaries in comparison with 2015’s one million fewer.

With this in mind, lowcost airline Norwegian is adding two more routes from Manchester this winter to Tenerife and Gran Canaria.

Stephen Turner, Manchester Airport com-

mercial director, said: “Gran Canaria and Tenerife are great destinations for winter-sun holidays, and both are hugely popular with the 22 million people in our catchment area.”

So, despite the drop in sterling after Brexit, a recent survey revealed that 30% more Britons want to move abroad Spain being the most popular destination.

More teaching for fewer kids

THE number of students studying in public and private schools this school year in the Canaries is down for the first time this decade.

The Canarian Government’s Regional Education Ministry has announced a total of 308,161, which means 3,062 fewer pupils.

But numbers are slightly higher in secondary schools, rising from 28,749 to 28,978.

In its strategic, objective statement, the Government promises to improve the quality of teaching, expanding

the beneficiaries of free textbooks from 24,000 to 42,000, and increasing funding by an additional 2.2 million euros.

This school year also sees the implement of the so-called Plan to Promote Foreign Languages, upping the teaching hours of another language in 500 centres.

And schools with broadband communications in schools will see an upgrade to optical fibre in nearly 1,000 centres - a service expected to be extended to all schools and centres by 2018.

There is also a big purchase of new computers, printers and other equipment.

9/11: Truth, Lies and Conspiracies

Tuesday 13th September, ITV1, 21.00

Don't Miss...

“We’ve been begging our Government for 15 years… and we’re told it’s classified, top secret, you can’t know more details about the death of your Dad.” - Brett Eagleson, whose father Bruce died in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks Fifteen years after 9/11, this new documentary for ITV investigates serious concerns that the real story surrounding that fateful day is yet to be told.

Ever since the attacks, conspiracy theories - some credible and some wacky - have persisted about what actually took place.

Among those who contribute is Jimmy Walter, a millionaire businessman, who still believes that the attacks were staged by the US government to benefit the defence industry.

Dylan Avery, who made ‘Loose Change,’ a documentary that questioned many of the official explanations about 9/11, tells the programme that many of the issues he raised have still not been adequately explained.

But aside from these theories, the documentary asks how much is still to be revealed about the events of that day. It contains allegations from victims’ families that the US administration has put its relationship with Saudi Arabia above the lives of their loved ones, and from former insiders who say how they believe the attacks could have been prevented and that mistakes made by the various intelligence agencies have been buried to protect them from further criticism.

Jimmy Walter’s explanation for the collapse of the Twin Towers is that they were brought down by explosives and the images of the planes crashing into the buildings were computer graphics. He believes the US government had plenty of reasons for orchestrating such an attack. He says: “The military was getting their funding cut, the CIA was getting their funding cut.”

While his claims may sound like fantasy, others believe that the truth of what happened that sunny Tuesday morning still hasn’t been adequately revealed. Dylan Avery’s Loose Change documentary attracted millions of viewers on YouTube, and he accepts now that some of his earlier views have changed. In recent versions of his film Dylan has removed some more extreme claims such as passengers being offloaded from Flight 93 before it crashed. But he still believes that many of the questions posed by the film are as wholly relevant today as they’ve ever been. He says: “One of the things we talked about in those early days was… Why do we not know where the hijackers got their money? Where did they get their support? Why did no-one…catch these guys.”

David Dunbar explains how he and his colleagues at Popular Mechanics investigated the various conspiracy theories and concluded none held up.

In the years before 9/11 the intelligence community had been fearing that Al Qaeda would carry out a major high-profile attack – the director of the CIA even famously commented, ‘The system was blinking red.’ Mark Rossini had been seconded from the from the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to work for Alec Station - a unit of the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, gathering foreign intelligence on Al Qaeda.

Two months before 9/11 the CIA admitted they had lost the pair and asked the FBI for help, but by then it was too late. Many relatives of those who died on 9/11 still don’t believe they’ve been told the full story.

Kathy Owens lost her husband, Pete, in the Twin Towers, and says: “Isn’t the main job of the government to keep their people safe? I at least expected them to stick up for us, and stand up for us, and get to the bottom of everyone who was responsible and tried to stop it from happening again.”

The US Government says the 9/11 Commission provided a definitive statement about the nature of Al Qaeda support that came from Saudi Arabia and did not determine that the Saudi government had intended to support it, but Senator Bob Graham says he has questions about whether close ties between the United States and Saudi Arabia have meant the real story has been buried.

Joanna Lumley’s Japan ITV1, 21.00

Joanna starts her 2000 mile journey across Japan in Hokkaido – one of the four main islands, where she travels to meet one of the most important animals in Japanese culture, the red-crowned cranes.

Leaving the countryside behind her, Joanna heads to Sapporo her first Japanese city. She arrives during the middle of the annual Snow Festival, and meets members of the local indigenous community, the Ainu. Travelling south she visits a brewery that has been making sake since 1689 and walks to see one of the oldest Pagodas in Japan, dating back to the 10th century and constructed entirely out of wood with no nails.

Joanna travels into the Fukushima exclusion zone, where a huge tsunami devastated the nuclear power plant in 2011. She visits Jigokudani Onsen which is not full of people….but Japanese Macaques or snow monkeys. Over 150 of them come down from the frozen mountains every morning and spend most of the day enjoying the steaming hot waters. Joanna takes a Shinkansen (bullet train) from Nagano to Tokyo, the capital of Japan and world’s largest metropolis; where it’s time to embrace the modern metropolis of Japan’s post war economic boom.

BBC Proms 2016: Last Night of the Proms Part 1 BBC2, 19.15

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, Katie Derham introduces the final concert of the 2016 BBC Proms.

The celebrations are led by the combined forces of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the BBC Singers, with Finnish Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo who returns to conduct the Last Night of the Proms for the second time.

Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez is the star soloist tonight, bringing some sparkling arias from the operas of Rossini, Donizetti and Offenbach.

Also on the programme is the world premiere of a piece by young Scottish composer Tom Harrold written for and performed by the Proms Youth Ensemble along with players from the BBC Symphony Orchestra. We’ll also hear Borodin’s exuberant Polovtsian Dances, Britten’s Matinées musicales, Butterworth’s The Banks Of Green Willow, and Jonathan Dove’s Our revels now are ended, with baritone Duncan Rock.

Exhibition BBC2, 22.35

BBC Films’ Exhibition is the third feature by Joanna Hogg, the acclaimed British writerdirector and stars Viv Albertine and Liam Gillick.

When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, and fears have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists as a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship.

Victoria ITV1, 21.00

Victoria and Albert manage to offend each other within minutes of his arrival. Albert’s brother Ernest encourages him to flirt, but Albert is utterly humiliated by the situation.

His unease around Victoria manifests as moody insolence, at least that’s how she interprets it when she complains to Melbourne.

Secretly hoping to impress Albert, Victoria transports the household to Windsor, where the tension between Victoria, Melbourne and Albert escalates. As she grapples to understand her feelings she must ask herself whether she wants the flattery Melbourne has hitherto reassured her with, or if she is ready for the challenging truth which Albert represents.

Below stairs, the Royal servants clash with the Coburg princes’ haughty valet Lohlein and a girl called Eliza turns up at the palace asking Skerrett for money and insinuating that she is not who she says she is.

Victoria comes to the throne at a time of great economic turbulence and resurgent republicanism – and died 64 years later the head of the largest empire the world had ever seen, having revitalised the throne’s public image and become ‘grandmother of Europe’. The first series of Victoria, written by Daisy Goodwin and produced by Mammoth Screen, will tell the story of the first years of the reign, beginning with the moment of the Queen’s accession in 1837, following her first faltering steps from capricious, hormonal teenager with a weak grasp on her duties and responsibilities to her marriage to Albert. The show is a saga of interlocking circles – the circuits of power in Buckingham Palace and Westminster, the intermarrying royal houses of Europe and the scandals of the below-stairs palace staff. At the centre stands the new Queen – a spirited, passionate woman who must, somehow, become an enduring icon of stability and strength.

As Pete (John Thomson) chauffeurs the ‘happy’ couple away from the wedding venue Adam (James Nesbitt) reveals that he’s changed his mind about starting a future together in Singapore. His son Matthew (Cel Spellman) needs him in Manchester.

The Giffords money worries have taken a toll on their marriage and in particular, their sex life. In an attempt to lift Pete’s (John Thomson) spirits, Jen (Fay Ripley) reminds him of the bedroom fantasies they used to act out when they were younger, but it’s going to take more than a French maid’s costume to snap Pete out of this one. Jenny knows that she’s turned the head of a client at work and can’t fail to be flattered. Trevor (Nicholas Gleaves) is persistent but Jenny would never cheat on her beloved Pete, would she?

Under pressure from his boss, David (Robert Bathurst) continues to try and impress Adam’s father-in-law, millionaire businessman, Eddie Zubayr (Art Malik), even enlisting the help of ex-wife Karen (Hermione Norris), whom Eddie clearly has designs on.

When David invites Eddie along to the corporate box at Old Trafford his CEO gets wind of the fact and invites himself along forcing David to let his old friends down. As the dads and lads watch on the match on the pub’s big screen, Adam notices that even the win isn’t putting a smile on Pete’s face.

Could there be more to his mood than simply being miserable and middle-aged?

W C cho i c e Who’s Doing The Dishes?

ITV1, 15.00

Who’s Doing The Dishes? is back on ITV Daytime for a third course.

Presented by Brian McFadden, the new series (30 x 60’) welcomes a brand new selection of mystery celebrity faces to wine, dine and try to catch out their dinner party guests.

Over the course of a week, four contributors must guess which celebrity’s house they are dining in each day. The mystery host will cook up a three course meal and diners are given clues throughout the meal to guess which VIP is cooking dinner.

Watching from a monitor in the kitchen, the celebrity host can see the feedback on their food both positive and negative - and the diners will have to work as a team to guess who their host is. If the party guests are still stuck after the final clue, they can opt for ‘Brian’s Bonus’ for an extra hint - this will however deduct cash from their potential winnings.

New York: America’s Busiest City BBC2, 21.00

In the final part of this series exploring what it’s like to live in America’s biggest and busiest city, Anita Rani, Ade Adepitan, Ant Anstead and Dan Snow are in New York’s Central Park.

From their base, they reveal the hidden systems and organisational miracles that keep the world’s busiest urban park clean and green.

The team meets the behind the scenes team who look after all 843 acres.

Ade heads to Harlem and meets residents who are benefiting and suffering at the hands of gentrification. The price of a townhouse here has gone from $50 000 to over $4 million in 30 years. Meanwhile, Ant is at Hudson Yards on the west side of Manhattan where an entirely new district is being built on top of a functioning rail depot - an innovative building solution to the island’s lack of land.

Historian Dan Snow is in Coney Island discovering that television, air conditioning and extreme weather almost killed off this historic amusement zone. And viewers are taken inside a multi million dollar penthouse apartment - accompanied by an estate agent who holds the record for selling New York’s most expensive house - a cool $53 million investment.

Neighbourhood Nightmares ITV1, 20.00

You have the keys to your dream home and are ready to move in. But have you really checked out the neighbourhood? This documentary explores the changing face of the nightmare neighbour– from the resident who attacks you on youtube, to rampaging wild boars, to opportunistic neighbours who will buy up your front lawn without you knowing it.

The assaults can hit any one of your senses – smell, sight and sound - and this programme reveals some of the worst. From the stench of a 24/7 abbattoir, to the ghostly rumble of a night time tube, to the shock of seeing a block of flats thrown up at the bottom of the garden. Residents, you have been warned.

Inside Scotland Yard with Trevor McDonald ITV1, 21.00

A brand new documentary series, where Sir Trevor McDonald gains unprecedented access into the Metropolitan Police’s headquarters to explore landmark investigations, as Scotland Yard moves to a new home.

In episode two, we take a trip back in history to both the 1911 Sidney Street Siege and 1960s East End gang culture, meeting the Teale brothers, who were close associates of the notorious Kray twins Ronnie and Reggie. We learn how Bobby Teale helped end the Krays rule of terror by becoming a police informant, and the price he paid.

Norwell Roberts, the Met’s first black police officer, talks to Sir Trevor about the racism he suffered in his first few years in the force. Sir Trevor also gains access into the counter terrorism department, which houses deadly terrorist devices used in London, and Scotland Yard’s armoury, the second largest collection of guns in the UK.

Paul O’Grady: For The Love Of Dogs ITV1, 20.30 Paul O’Grady returns to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for eight brand new episodes of canine commotion in this award-winning programme.

And this new series packs more of a doggie punch than ever before as Paul’s emotions are put through the wringer by a host of new breeds never previously featured facing problems never before seen. And as ever, Paul rolls up his sleeves to help care for these troubled dogs, supporting them through some heart-breaking moments with his unique blend of love, charm and humour.

In today’s episode, Paul falls hook, line and sinker for charming toothless Boxer Prince. From the moment they first meet, they build an instant close bond, leaving Paul to seriously consider whether he should rehome Prince himself. But Paul is soon rocked by the news Prince has a suspicious lump on his leg, which needs urgent attention.

Paul is then on hand to help the ever-cheery Prince through a series of operations, which the Boxer tackles with life-affirming positivity - but what will the outcome be for the dog who’s provided Paul with his most emotional rollercoaster of a story across all the series so far?

Paul also falls for quirky Yorkie Dash, whose bark has lost it’s bite leaving him with a very unusual, squeaky voice. Not only that, this eight-year old soon earns the light-hearted nickname ‘Dash the Slash’ when he goes out for a walk with Paul and endlessly cocks his leg! Can Paul help Dash get to the bottom of his most unusual problems?

tion of its guests.

Film following British Vogue over a year. Richard Macer discovers a world of deception at the heart of the fashion bible. At the helm of British Vogue are two women who have been in charge for a quarter of a century. Alexandra Shulman, the editor-in-chief, and fashion director Lucinda Chambers have been making decisions which affect the wardrobe choices of British women for the last three decades. What will happen to the magazine when they eventually decide to leave? Halfway through filming this auspicious year, Macer gets a phone call from the Vogue press office that dramatically changes the whole direction of the film. As Richard speculates on whether British Vogue’s centenary will be Alexandra’s swansong, events start to unfold which demonstrate that far from being about to retire, Alexandra has just pulled off a spectacular journalistic coup right under Richard’s nose.

Freddie has joined Blue-Plaque greats FREDDIE Mercury, the late Queen front-man, has joined fellow rock-idols Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon, as well as Mozart, by being honoured with a Blue Plaque at his childhood home in west London.

The English Heritage plaque, commemorating the legendary singer, was unveiled by the band’s lead guitarist, Brian May, at the unassuming terraced house in Gladstone Avenue, Feltham, where Mercury lived with his parents after the family arrived from Zanzibar in 1963.

May said the event was tinged with sadness as he paid tribute to Mercury’s “wicked smile” while remembering the “shy” boy who grew up to become one of the world’s greatest rock superstars. Freddie died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 45, and May said: “The last thing we would have thought is that I would be here at this point, commemorating him with a blue plaque.

“It’s a happy occasion, with a tinge of sadness because he should be here. As boys, we conquered the world in a way that was beyond our wildest dreams, which is why we are here today.”

May, also a keen astronomer with strong links to Tenerife’s biennial Starmus Festival, added: “What I remember of Freddie is hard to sum up. He was a shy

boy and embarrassed at still living with his mum, so he often slept on people’s floors to feel like he had broken away.

“He had an extraordinary capacity to energise people and make them feel excited. We knew he was something very special; he made people feel like they could do it, too.”

Freddie’s sister, Kashmira Cooke, who lived with her brother at

the Feltham address, said: “I can see his little, wicked smile. He always had this feeling he was a legend. We would joke about it, but it happened. He was thinking of leaving something great to the world.”

She told the Queen fans gathered there: “To suggest that Freddie and Queen are not timeless, and not worthy of this sort of honour, is utterly bizarre. He is one of the most worthwhile recipients I can think of.

“Our parents would never have imagined this would be a blueplaque house when they bought it. It’s emotional, but I’m so happy.

“I miss him, but I have this feeling he’s watching over me. Just when I’m not aware … something happens.

He speaks through the radio, through music, at the most uncanny times.”

Some 900 English Heritage blue plaques have been unveiled in London in the last 150 years, linking famous people to buildings humble and grand.

Other plaques unveiled this year have included tributes to magical comedian Tommy Cooper and novelist Samuel Beckett.

Wogan’s back on air, at the Abbey

WESTMINSTER Abbey will stage a memorial service for Sir Terry Wogan, to be broadcast live on 27th September on BBC Radio 2.

It will mark the 50th anniversary of the Irish presenter’s first BBC radio broadcast, and it will be accompanied by a series of tribute shows on the station - and a BBC One programme looking back on his life.

Sir Terry, who died in January, hosted the Radio 2 breakfast show from 1972-1984, and 1993-2009. He also

fronted TV shows such as Wogan and Blankety Blank.

Tony Hall, BBC Director-General said: “He had a unique and welcoming style, combined with a mis-

chievous sense of humour, and his personality will shine through in these programmes.”

The lunchtime service will be part of a special edition of Radio 2’s Jer-

emy Vine Show, during which the host will also speak to listeners about their memories of Sir Terry.

A two-part special, entitled Thank You For Being My Friend - A Tribute to Terry Wogan, featuring interviews with his friends and colleagues, will be aired on Radio 2 from 10pm on 26th and 27th September.

The BBC One tribute has the working title Sir Terry Wogan Remembered: Fifty Years at the BBC. In January, Sir Terry’s family announced that the much-loved 77-year-old had died “after a short but brave battle with cancer”.

The boss reveals depression woes BRUCE Springsteen, the veteran US rocker, has revealed his longstanding battle with clinical depression, which, he says, left him feeling “crushed”.

The 66-year-old star first saw a psychotherapist more than 30 years ago, and has, recently, suffered a severe bout of depression.

He says his wife, singer Patti Scialfa, can “observe a freight train bearing down”, during his bouts of mental illness.

Springsteen describes in his new autobiography, Born To Run, how he struggled with depression at the time of his 2012 Wrecking Ball album, which includes the song This Depression.

“I was crushed between 60 and 62 - good for a year, and out again from 63 to 64,” he writes.

“Not a good record.

“Patti will observe a freight train bearing down, loaded with nitroglycerin and running

quickly out of track … she gets me to the doctors and says: ‘This man needs a pill’.”

In an interview with Vanity Fair, ahead of the book’s release, Springsteen also voiced fears that he would suffer in the same way his father, Douglas, who had mental problems.

“You don’t know the illness’s parameters,” he told the magazine.

“Can I get sick enough to where I become a lot more like my father than I thought I might?”

Springsteen says in the book that his father had relatives with prominent mental health issues, including agoraphobia and hair-pulling disorders.

“As a child, it was simply mysterious, embarrassing and ordinary,” he recalls.

He also detailed his troubled relationship with his father, who was unable to tell his son “I love you”, before his 1998 death. “You’d hear his voice breaking up, but he couldn’t get out the words.”

Springsteen’s Born to Run memoir is released on 27th September. 27.

Keep your dogs secure

Following the success of the two previous years, on the 17th September 2016 the third Edition of “Swim for Life” will be in the fantastic pools of Tenerife Top Training (T3), in Adeje.

Once more the beneficiaries of this charity event will be theSpanish Association against Cancer (AECC), Amate, cancer research and the Pink Room help centre situated in Adeje.

The following associations and corporations will contribute to the best results of this event: Walk for Life, Town Hall Adeje, Tenerife Top Training, Rotary Club Tenerife South and Swim Club Tenerife Masters, as well as the Swimming Referees of Tenerife, and various private companies.

To find out how to inscribe and collaborate wit this charity sport event, please go to http://www. migranodearena.org/es/reto/11575/nadar-por-lavida2016/ before 10.30am on September 12th as that will be the deadline to put your name down. Those who will not swim, but wish to join the Aquagym, and enjoy the wonderful paella, have until September 15th.

Swallows’ charity cheer THE Swallows group, which meets weekly at the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos, has again sent handsome donations to Cancer Research and the Cancer Bus Charity.

Carole and Mike Hart, who run the group, said: “This past winter, Swallows donated

5,000 euros to the Cancer Bus and 6,000 to Candelaria hospital.

We also bought food for Carritas and helped towards Christmas dinners for the homeless.

“Many thanks to all the Swallows, as always, for your generosity and support.”

WE remind doglovers about the importance of having your pets secured correctly in your car while travelling.

Police are clamping down - and issuing fines promptly to offenders.

The animals must be sitting on the back seat, securely fastened with a dog-seat belt, which fits into the normal car-seat belt, or they can be put in the back of a hatchback.

But only if they they are fastened securely, or with a purpose-made pet grill; or they can be fastened securely in a pet carrier.

It is also advisable that the dog is wearing a dog harness instead of a collar, which will reduce the risk of injury, should you be involved in an accident.

We always have a special “thank-you” for all of our many supporters.

But this week, we salute families in Germany, who are accepting no fewer than 15 refuge dogs to offer them a new life.

Sometimes, dogs are passed by at the refuge for one reason or another. But quite often, they can find homes in Germany - especially the larger dogs - for owners who have more outside space.

We have a large website on which the dogs are advertised on Aktiontier’s rehoming page, and, of-

New vicar for Anglicans TENERIFE Anglicans will finally get a new vicar to fill the longstanding vacancy in the St Francis parish of San Eugenia.

Los Gigantes and San Blas - and he’s a former policeman!

Shropshire-based Rev. John Poole, who will be licensed officially on Thursday, joined London’s Metropolitan Police service for some 4½ years during his early working life.

The 63-year-old, who steps into the breach on Sunday, when he will meet the three congre-

gations, is an apt choice for the Anglicans because he and his wife Rosemary love Tenerife - and he’d had his eye on the position for several months.

John has enjoyed a varied career in the ministry over 30 years. “It has taken me to Hertfordshire (twice), Madagascar, Romania, East Sussex, West Midlands, and Australia,” he said.

“In addition to several parish appointments, I have also served as a theological college tutor and as a prison chaplain.

“During the past three years, I have engaged in a busy, self-supporting ministry role covering several dioceses, dividing my time between London and Shropshire.

“This has enabled me to tend to various family needs while seeking a new full-time challenge.”

But it’s not all work for John, who enjoys sport.

“I used to be a club cricketer and I follow football semi-religiously,” he said.

“Although my playing days are past, I still like

to keep fit, and I will certainly make good use of the pool and gym facilities at the Callao Salvaje vicarage.”

He added: “I look forward to giving, sharing, learning and receiving as we work together in this wonderful location.

“This is an exciting time for us, and, hopefully, for everyone in the Anglican community of Tenerife South.”

For all details of the St Francis Anglican Church, go to tenerifesouthchurches.com

ten, suitable homes are found.

Incidentally, we are always looking for people travelling to Germany who would like to help by escorting a dog.

All the legalities and costs for the dogs are met by Aktiontier, our sponsoring charity.

The animals are checked in at Tenerife South by staff from Accion del Sol staff, while members of Aktiontier receive the dogs in Germany.

So if you are travelling there in the near future and would like to help, please call us on 922 778 630 for more details.

Who’s for walkies?

We are always looking for dog-walkers, so if you have a little spare time, please pop along to the

refuge and make a dog or two very happy.

Your help needed Please call the refuge on 922 778 630 if you can lend a hand in any way.

We always need blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys, collars and leads. You can call in on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2-5pm, and Saturdays between 1-4pm.

Healthy outlook for Adeje quality of life MORE than 2,000 people have taken advantage of programmes, activities, workshops and courses being run by the Health Department in Adeje on health and quality of life.

The programmes with the highest approval ratings have been those dealing with the prevention and treatment of drug addiction, run in the borough’s secondary schools, IES El Galeón and IES Adeje.

Nearly 700 people took part, including students, teachers and family members. The main objective was the prevention of druguse and promotion in schools and home, leading to an overall drop in the number of users.

Another programme in this area is the NOVA SUR project, directed at families with young adults aged 14-22, which

has helped a dozen families with therapeutic intervention.

The Department also hosted 35 workshops on sex education, avoiding unwanted pregnancies, safe sex practices, etc.

Nearly 900 people took part from secondary schools, and par-

ticipants also looked at the issue of gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and discrimination issues.

The information service regarding sexuallytransmitted diseases, which also offers a fast, confidential, testing ser-

vice, has dealt with 68 people so far this year.

Pink Room/Sala Rosa, in the School of Security and Coexistence - a space for cancer patients, survivors and their families - continues to host talks and workshops, with up to 70 people taking

part in events so far.

The Department of Health, in collaboration with the ALABENTE association, also offers professional care for those suffering eating disorders.

Other workshops held in the first six months of the year included

themes of self-esteem, personal growth, healthy lifestyle habits, and individual development.

The DoH is also a partner in the Cabildo programme, which attends to those with dementias, including Alzheimer’s sufferers.

Cats Welfare news

Why cats lie in the sun EVER wondered why cats love to lay in the sun, even here in the searing heat - especially since they wear a fur coat?

It’s even more puzzling when you realise that they are more warme-blooded than us! As a desert creature, cats would have developed a high heat tolerance. Originally, they were short-coated and long-bodied, which would have been all the better to throw off excessive heat.

Cats who cope better in cold climates are different because stocky bodies and longer fur keeps the heat in. That’s why we can have a Siamese soaking up sun on the window-sill, while its Persian com-

panion is belly-down on a tiled floor, all on the same summer day.

Cats are mammals, which means a certain volume of their fuel intake goes to keeping them at that toasty temperature. And almost a third is used to keep their skin and coat in top shape.

They are so dependent on protein, even synthesising their body’s glucose needs from it, that their liver keeps producing metabolic protein enzymes 24/7, unlike other mammals, who have an on/off switch.

Then there’s their predatory style. They are very fast for short periods. But, since they can’t outpace their prey. they must outwit them. That bright brain uses up energy, too. So, if a cat can run on solar power, they will.

With the heat of the sun helping them stay warm, they are actually conserving energy. They like to seek out sunlight for naps because it offsets the drop in metabolism that comes with sleep’s shut-down of certain body processes.

But it doesn’t have to be sun. Cats will seek out stifling spaces in a garage without airconditioning, or curling up under a lamp, even in summer. But that metabolic heat advantage is why they

will seek out what seems like an uncomfortable temperature to us. The most important factor is that they can overheat and should never be left unattended in a hot car, for example, where they could overheat quickly and die.

Adoptions We have lots of cats and kittens looking for homes. All adult cats currently available are in foster care and details are on our website www.cats-welfaretenerife/pets - where you will find lots of

information and pictures. There are also many kittens in foster care.

Returning to the sun

By Miruna Voicu MANY property owners in Tenerife, affectionately known as the “Swallows”, are fortunate enough to be able to spend what passes for a summer in the UK, and the winter here.

If you have worked hard all your life, owning property in a sunny country where you can relax, enjoy our temperate climate, and avoid the British winter is an

excellent solution. And it is often a good compromise for those who have family in the UK, and don’t want to move abroad permanently.

Sometimes, though, when you come home after being away for a while, particularly for a

few months, you might see your property in a slightly different way.

You might notice small defects you didn’t spot when you were living there every day - or realise that the sofa is looking a bit tatty, or that the bed is a bit lumpy!

So now is a good time to consider what you can do to improve your property, and make it even more a home from home.

Comfort is the most important element, with the look of it coming a close second. If

you have had a sofa for years, bought from a good retailer or, maybe, even brought over from the UK, think about giving it a facelift by reupholstering it.

That way, you know you’ll retain the comfort of your familiar sofa while being able to choose from a multitude of patterns and colours. That might be all you need to make your lounge take on a whole new look!

And it needn’t be a complicated matter. A good interior designer will come to your house, give you a quote, bring you a wide choice of fabrics, and arrange collection and delivery back, either in a few days, or at a time, perhaps, when you are away and won’t be inconvenienced.

Service, of course, is the advantage of working with a small company rather than the bigger retailers.

Equally, if your Tenerife bed feels a bit uncomfortable after your one in the UK, there are some fabulous deals around at the moment, particularly for beds that combine a sprung core for support, together with a thin layer of memory foam for comfort.

Beware some of the beds which are more expensive and boast of “moulding to your body for comfort”.

That might be perfect in the UK, but will be far too hot here!

All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo. Contact details in the advert.

Healthy people’s bacteria may be clue to Alzeimer’s

By Val Sainsbury BACTERIA found in the blood of healthy people can lead to blood clots which may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s and diabetes.

Research scientists found that tiny amounts of bacterial cell-wall molecules can cause blood to form dense clots, rather than the spaghetti-like structure of normal clots.

The experts maintain that these can contribute to the chronic inflammation which forms part of many diseases, including stroke and cardiovascular problems.

The discovery could help to explain many features of these types of conditions, and may lead to new methods of prevention or treat-

ment. A University of Manchester team, together with South African colleagues from the University of Pretoria, tested blood and plasma for its ability to clot when thrombin, the normal clotting agent, was added.

Professor Douglas Kell is Research Chair in Bioanalytical Science at The Manchester university, and study author.

He said: “The breakthrough in finding that tiny amounts of bacterial cell-wall material can have a massive effect on causing blood to clot in an unusual way explains much about the biology of many of these diseases.

“This opens up novel means - including nutritional - for their prevention and treatment.”

Tiny amounts of li-

popolysaccharide (LPS), shed by dormant bacteria, can lead to the unusual behaviour of 100 million clotting molecules in blood, but thrombin can prevent this.

Blood has always been considered to be free from microbes, because bacteria do not tend to grow when put in a culture dish.

These conditions include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, and conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular problems such as stroke and metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes.

This new discovery could have considerable impact on the treatment of these conditions, since halting the unusual clotting could stop its consequences.

The work is part of an ongoing collaboration, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to understand unusual blood clotting.

The study’s other co-

author, Resia Pretorius, from the Department of Physiology at The University of Pretoria, said: “The importance of LPS in inflammatory diseases has been mostly overlooked, and it has been

used to induce both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease in animaltesting for many years.

He added: “Inflammatory diseases are also closely linked to Leaky Gut Syndrome.

THERE’S a time in your life when colouring your hair should really be taken more seriously.

What once suited you 30 years ago won’t suit you now, even if it were your natural colour.

When your hair starts to show those glistening white strands, and you’re having your roots touched up just a little too often, it is time for a serious change - colourwise. Stay away from anything too bright or garish. Oranges, reds and black are a big no-no.

These will drain, literally, every drop of colour out of your face, because, as your hair loses its colour, so does

9th September - 15th September 2016

JUST STOP ALL THAT CLOWNING AROUND

your skin tone. I’m not saying that you should opt for boring shades or lifeless colours - just try to tone things down a little.

Adding more-natural tones to your hair will blend away the years, and give you a moreyouthful look.

Bright colours can look ridiculous after your thirties, and will appear really out of place, unless your cloth-

ing is bright as well.

Think about how your hair colour matches with your wardrobe and make-up. Does it complement - or clash?

Not many women like to see white hairs, but covering them up the wrong way can look worse than those shiny strands.

Consult your stylist about your colour, and how it could be improved.

THOSE GOLDEN YEARS

By Carl Pattison

APART from losing interest in their hair, mature ladies tend to lose interest in their fashion sense, too.

Colours seem to fade to beige, style goes out of the window, and everything turns polyester.

That shouldn’t be the case because there are plenty of stores which carry clothing for the more-mature woman.

You don’t have to shop in a store which caters for older clients. Most will have some items that run through all the age groups.

There isn’t an age when you should decide to stop taking an interest in fashion, and in what you wear.

Looking good should be a pleasure - not a chore. Do go for colour in your wardrobe because greys and beiges will wash you out.

Brighten up darker clothes by adding bold jewellery and accessories. And don’t be afraid to try on something youthful, without feeling you have too much on show.

Layering your look will flatter your figure, and give you more shape.

Just make sure your clothing fits, and isn’t showing off those areas you’d rather keep covered.

Above all, feel confident in what you wear, and strive to dress a little younger than your years.

I don’t believe that anybody is ready for twinsets and pearls at any age - fashion is for all age groups.

So, the next time you’re hunting clothes, pick up an item which you wouldn’t normally be seen in. Try it on, and look what a difference a new slant on your look will make.

Stretching out to ease those aches

YOGA and acupuncture are among some of the most popular, complementaryhealth approaches which really can relieve pain, according to new research.

Others, including yoga, tai chi and acupuncture. also appear to be effective ways of managing painful conditions.

Scientists reviewed clinical trials in the US to reach their conclusions, which could help millions of people whose pain may not be relieved fully by conventional medications.

Until now, a lack of evidence around complementary approaches has meant health professionals have not been able to recommend them.

Researchers say the review will help enable doctors, who frequently see patients with chronic pain, to inform patients on which treatments will best help them manage their symptoms.

The review was conducted by a group of scientists from the National Centre for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), at the National Institutes of Health.

Lead author Dr Richard Nahin said: “For many Americans who suffer chronic pain, medications may not

completely relieve pain and can produce unwanted side-effects.

“As a result, many people may turn to nondrug approaches to help manage their pain.

“Our goal for this study was to provide relevant, high-quality information for primary care-providers, and for patients who suffer from chronic pain.”

Researchers reviewed 105 controlled trials, from the past 50 years, which were relevant to patients with pain conditions. They found that none of the clinical trials reported significant side-effects.

The review focused on US-based trial results on seven approaches used for one or more of five painful conditions.

These included back pain, osteoarthritis, neck pain, fibromyalgia, and severe headaches and migraine.

The team also found that acupuncture and yoga showed “promise” for treating back pain.

Acupuncture and tai chi was promising for osteoarthritis of the knee, while massage

therapy was effective at treating neck pain in the short-term.

Relaxation techniques could also relieve pain from severe headaches and migraine, they discovered.

Though the evidence was weaker, the researchers also found that massage therapy, spinal manipulation, and osteopathic manipulation may provide “some help” for back pain.

They added that relaxation approaches and tai chi might help people with fibromyalgia.

Dr David Shurtleff, NCCIH Deputy Director, added: “These data can equip providers and patients with the information they need to have informed conversations regarding non-drug approaches for treatment of specific pain conditions.

“It is important that continued research explore how these approaches actually work, and whether these findings apply broadly in diverse, clinical settings and patient populations.”

Safety-first-driving tips

By Emma at Motorworld

WE are all aware that people use hand-signals to indicate their intentions, often when speaking but also when driving.

The latter, when used by an individual, can be confusing and can cause road-rage or accidents.

But, in some cases, they can prevent you from having an accident.

Let’s look at some scenarios.

A car is double-parked, which happens quite often - and more often than not, in a potentially dangerous place. And, of course, there are never any police around!

The driver, who at the time is stationary as you approach, puts an arm out of the window, indicating for you to pass.

This means, first and foremost, that you will

be on the wrong side of the road.

But what often happens is that although the driver’s made this hand indication, he/she then pulls off without looking - just as you are alongside or passing.

And, depending on the traffic situation, an accident might occur.

In these circumstances, you should always be cautious of passing said vehicle because, if there is an accident, you will probably be blamed for being on the wrong side of the road.

And the stationary cardriver would, more than likely, keep quiet about his part in the incident!

I am not saying this is always the case, but it is happening more and more, and we all want to avoid an accident where possible.

Here’s another example: a man walks straight on to a zebra-crossing without checking the traffic, or crosses the road illegally, in front of you, simply holding up his hand to indicate you should stop for him.

Once he is on the ze-

bra-crossing, then you are legally obliged to stop to let him cross.

But if he’s not on a crossing, it’s a different matter.

You wouldn’t want to run over the pedestrian, but you could cause the car behind you to crash into the back of you if you stop suddenly.

If you are on the motorway, travelling in the outside lane at 120km,

and a car behind you indicates it wants to pass, it’s always advisable to pull over wherever possible to allow the driver to exceed the speed limit.

But if stay in the outside lane at the same speed, the driver behind might see red and make various hand actions (some unpleasant), flash his lights and drive close to try

to intimidate you. Once he passes you, he will often play “games” by cutting you up, braking fiercely, and use more offensive hand gestures, etc.

If you feel intimidated by this, take the next available exit and sit for a while, safely off the motorway, before continuing your journey. It’s better to be a few minutes late than not to ar-

rive at all - or end up in hospital.

Many drivers use their indicators when it’s not necessary … and don’t use them when it is!

They often indicate that they are turning when, in fact, the car in front of them is turning and they are trying to tell you they are slowing down or stopping.

When police are giving signals, they should always be obeyed - and most hand-signals are the same world-wide.

A policeman holding up his hand, flat-side to your car, indicates you must stop. This is used most often to control traffic, through congestion, an accident or a road-side check-point.

When he uses his hand in a circular motion, it indicates that you can proceed, and is often accompanied by him blowing a whistle.

Police check-points are becoming more frequent, and they generally use a luminous baton when indicating they want you to pull over.

Be cautious, enjoy driving!

Who needs Bangkok Kev? THERE is a phrase in the Direct Telecom Pool League which is used often: “The score didn’t reflect the game.” Normally, it is said, tongue in cheek.

But for once, it applied on Tuesday night as reigning champions Gaffers A visited Amarilla Golf to face Terrace Bantams.

The visitors were missing a star player, who had still not arrived home after the previous week’s fixture!

In an effort to win the “who stays out the longest on pool night” award, Kev took in a session to end all sessions.

Via Malaga and Moscow, he ended up in Bangkok, still wearing his Gaffers Pool shirt!

And to mark the occasion, he celebrated with the worst tattoo ever!

While Bangkok Kev was tearing up the Thai tables, his team-mates were quick out of the blocks in the league match. They raced into a 4-0 lead, extending it to 8-0 during the second session. Yet every frame was close - in most cases, down to the black. And Gaffers A had Lady Luck and her whole family with them as balls dropped into place, or flukes dropped

into pockets.

Shell-shocked Bantams stood scratching their heads, trying to work out how they had no frames on the board.

They grabbed a couple late on to make the score a little more respectable, but it was Gaffers A night. Again!

Down in Puerto Colon, it was derby night as Rewind Rewired took on bar-mates Rewind A. And the “A Team” were confident after picking up their first points of the season last week.

But that confidence soon took a dent. They were missing their two French superstars and lost four frames in a row, to trail 5-1 at the halfway stage.

Micky beat Tony to give Rewind a glimmer of hope, but that’s all it was as Tim took backto-back frames to earn the points for Rewired.

Palms A continued their fine start to the season with an excellent home win over Exiles A. It’s no secret that the visitors are bad travellers, and, though they played well and the frames were close, Palms were always in control.

Simon’s re-rack win over Ben in the middle set was crucial, and,

despite Exiles always being in the match, Palms were good value for their 7-5 win.

Meanwhile, on the other table at Palms, it was a night to forget. Palms Elite played host to Bluebell A and flew out of the traps, taking a 4-0 lead. They kept their momentum and were really enjoying themselves, soon doubling the lead.

At this point, Bluebell

A were hoping to get just one frame on the board. But it wasn’t to be, and Palms Elite completed the whitewash in a fiery encounter.

In Division Two, Picasso’s A seemed to be having it their own way, but they hit a hurdle on Tuesday night with an away game against James Hammers C, who dropped from Division One last season.

It was a good test for Fran and her boys to pit themselves against players with experience in a higher league, but they fluffed their lines.

The home side hit the ground running and soon took a 3-1 lead -

a feat they repeated in the second session to gain a 6-2 advantage.

Picasso’s needed a strong fightback, but it never materialised as James took the next frame for the home side to give them three points, which moves them level on points at the top with Picasso’s A. Hat-tip goes to Lee, from James Hammers C, as he finally won a game after nine attempts!

Bluebell B have kept themselves in the title hunt after a great win against The Crown. It was looking unlikely after The Crown took an early 3-1 lead, but Bluebell B must have revitalised themselves with a quick bottle of Buckfast as they took five frames on the bounce to get their noses in front.

Craig then stepped up to the table, dispatched Alex, and it was game over - a superb three points for Bluebell B. Yates Bar suffered a setback as they travelled to Splash Bar, which is always a difficult place to visit. It was 2-2 after the first session, with nothing between the two teams. But Splash Bar came out fighting and

took four consecutive frames to move into a good position.

Yates’s Lee beat Steve to pull one back, but that was as good as it got because Martin, Chris and Andy finished strongly for Splash to give them the victory.

Down in Silencio, Exiles B were playing host to Palms Rebels, and it has the makings of a really tight game. The home side won session one 3-1, but then lost session two by the same margin, leaving the match poised at 4-4.

It seemed to be going all the way, but the Rebels somehow collapsed, allowing Exiles B to win the final four games for the points.

Treehouse B and Hoppy’s A, both looking to move up the table, faced each other on Tuesday. It was another close game and, over the first eight frames, there was absolutely nothing between them.

With the scores tied at 4-4, it was a tense affair.

Ben and Muscles took first blood for Treehouse B, and they had a point in the bag.

But Roly and Jason produced two great frames for Hoppy’s A to snatch a share of the points.

A Daddy Cool 170!

IN any kind of sport, a team or individuals will sometimes reach a plateau where everything clicks into place, and they become almost unbeatable. Being an Arsenal fan, (thanks Editor), it has been a long time since I experienced that!

But we have a player in the Oasis Fm darts league who seems to have hit that sweet spot this term. In fact his team, Pas O Nadas A , lead the race for the Division 1 title.

Richard, also known as Daddy Cool, is well ahead in the 180 club, and now holds the highest check-out after smashing in a stunning 170 during his side’s 6-2 win over Exiles. Good darts!

But perhaps the more important result came at Scruffy Macs, who played Gaffers for the second time in a week.

By all accounts, it was a cracking game of darts - backed up by the stats: Tom hit his sixth maximum for Scruffys, while

Gaffers replied with a plethora of high checkouts: Daniel 111 and 90, Yogi 104 and Matt 119, which turned the match in Gaffers’ favour and made for a 6-2 win for Neil’s merry men.

Another high finish came for The Pub, with Steve taking out 124 in their win over PSB, and Phoenix moved up to fourth place with a 7-1 success at home against Fluffs Playboys.

The Sandys’ derby ended in a close-shave win for Reborn, and Spear Chuckers took the last rubber to beat Boothen, whose Sam notched his third 180.

With Picassos and Rood out of action, the top two in Division 2 had an opportunity to open up a gap ... and they duly fluffed their lines!

Tavern were held to a draw at 16th-placed Marilyns A, while Sundowners went one better and lost at Naughty Nautas.

Lounge failed to make in-roads as they tied with Legends, and there was no joy for Bar 180, either, as they were beaten by Palms Pool Bar. Is Jeremy Beadle hiding around the corner?

Anyway, Waterfall’s 7-1 thrashing of Pas O

Nadas B means that they move into the top half of the table, closely followed by Clouseaus, who put six past Bar Leones.

And congratulations to Nauta Nomads, who registered their first league win, beating the Playgirls 6-2.

Oasis Fm Fantasy Football League

Hazzard sounds warning IT’S still early doors in the Premier League, but injuries and suspensions are already starting to frustrate managers. And the same applies to our Fantasy League, especially if you are not checking your team regularly.

Don’t forget, you can make free transfers every week, so make sure your team are fresh.

There were a couple of stand-out results last weekend, but, from a player point of view, it was an even spread.

Chelsea led the way for the point-scoring team of the week with two players. The rest came from Stoke, Crystal Palace, Man Utd, Middles-

brough, West Brom, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Sunderland.

Alexis Sanchez was the player of the week

with a decent return of 16 points.

After taking last week’s team of the week title, Lesley Bradley’s Simply the

Best put in another decent performance to climb to the top of the Oasis Fm Fantasy League.

Over three game-

weeks they have scored 180 points, which is an impressive average of 60 points a week.

This week’s team of the week award was shared by Jo Green’s Earlybirds and Zam-

mit’s Mugs, managed

by John Zammit, with both teams taking 63 points - a good total in a low-scoring week.

The Earlybird’s were helped by their defenders, who scored well,

Cup win masks league woe Elche 3 CD Tenerife 1

Lugo 1 CD Tenerife 2

By Roscoe A QUICK glance at the league table reveals the problem CD Tenerife have. England’s Premier League is also three games old, and there are plenty of old-timers who tell you the league is not important until the clocks change.

But the modern world is a different mistress.

Man City, Chelsea and Man United are already breaking away at the top, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester playing catch-up. It may only be a few points, but every little counts, as the saying goes.

It is the same in the Spanish second division. The top teams are already where they want to be. In fact, the current top five could easily be the same in early June.

I said at the resumption that Tenerife could easily make another poor start and have their season end in September. Well, after three matches, I am, worryingly, right. The defeat at Elche was another poor one.

Elche are a good team - well-organised and the sort of side who cut loose on you if you allow them a lead. Again, Tenerife looked a few weeks short of where they need to be.

And everyone is to blame. They really need a shake-up. They must lose this “little islander” mentality. The trip to La Palma, the friendlies against non-league local opposition, the messing about at different training grounds…

Every season, the team are under-cooked, unfit and not ready for the harsh reality of playing in a water-tight professional league.

Yes, they were better in the Cup game on Tuesday, and Tenerife’s first win in that competition since the last promotion campaign was long overdue.

away, as they have for every match since 2008, and the Cup run could yet provide a nice distraction.

Winning breeds winning.

Talking of which, Tenerife have won just once since 17th April.

In 11 league games, the sole victory was against Real Valladolid!

This weekend’s visitors are a side I like a lot. They are a fine club with brilliant fans.

Paco Herrera has already got them going the right way, and, as I also said at the start of the season, they will be right there at the business end.

The side are full of South American flair, But Lugo didn’t exactly bust a gut, and I guarantee there will be a few changes for this Saturday’s match.

Excluding goalie Ismael, only three new signings started in Elche. That’s awful planning. You simply cannot afford to lose ground in this division. And to be honest, as every Welsh person says, it should have been worse than 3-1 at Elche.

Pablo gave the hosts a third-minute lead, and when Pedro made it two on 70 minutes the match was over.

Tenerife did claw one back three minutes from time through Omar, but this just woke the hosts up.

Hugo’s injury-time goal calmed home nerves, and gave Tenerife what they deserved.

A few days later, boss

Jose Marti made a few changes and the team looked much sharper.

Another example of how poorly-prepared Tenerife are.

Old boy Iriome continued his fine scoring record against us with the opener on 23 minutes. But Tenerife were straight back it in when German, back from injury, got the leveller. He has been missed.

The goal actually inspired Tenerife and, when Cristo struck on the hour mark, it was a richly deserved lead.

Alberto was running the show in central midfield and his young legs will certainly give Marti something to think about before the Real Valladolid match.

Camille and Amathe were also bright.

Today’s draw will see Tenerife playing again

Position Points

PLD

and keep an eye out on youngster Jose Arnaiz. He is being given a chance this season and is earning rave reviews.

Last weekend they did Girona, and in midweek they chinned Real Zaragoza away in the Cup. Also this week, a quick pat on the back to CD Mensajero. The La Palma side have made a fine start to the season in the third tier.

They are still unbeaten and last weekend, they edged a five-goal thriller over SD Gernika. We will know a bit more about their prospects for the season after Sunday’s match at second-place Leioa.

Finally, the local Canarian league, tier four, has had some exciting matches so far. Favourites Las Palmas Atletico lead the way, but a host of South Tenerife sides are well up with the pace. CD Marino have swiftly shaken off last season’s disaster and have won two and drawn one from three games.

Ditto UB Ibarra, who will be fun to watch this season. Tomorrow afternoon (Saturday), 4.30 kick-off, they host Las Palmas in El Fraile.

Admission is only a few euros, so get down there if you can.

By Adi Benson

Man Utd v Man City

Form Man Utd: WWWWDW Man City: WWWWWW Head-to-head: City have won four, drawn one, and lost two of their last seven meetings with United, who haven’t lost any of their last three derby days.

Team news: For United, Luke Shaw, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marouane Fellaini should have recovered from minor injuries in time to face City.

The biggest miss for the visitors will be talisman striker Sergio Aguero, who is serving the first game of his three-match suspension, although new signing. Leroy Sane could finally play.

Best bet: Man Utd to win 2-1 at 9/1

Stoke v Tottenham

Form Stoke: WLDLWL Spurs: WDWLLD Head-to-head: Spurs have won four, drawn one, and lost two of their last seven games against Stoke.

Team news: Stoke’s Mame Biram Diouf, Xherdan Shaqiri and Glen Johnson are hoping to return. Wilfried Bony up front, and Bruno Martins Indi, should make their debuts.

For Spurs, Kyle Walker is expected to recover from illness, but keeper Hugo Lloris is still out. New signings Paul Lopez, Moussa Sissoko, and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou could also make their debuts.

Best bet: 1-1 draw at 6/1

Form Arsenal: WDLWWW Southampton: LDWDWD Head-to-head: Arsenal have won two, drawn two, and lost three of their last seven matches against Southampton.

Team news: For Arsenal, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Iwobi are hoping to recover from injury for this one, but new-signing Shkodran Mustafi, fellow-defenders Gabriel Paulista and Per Mertesacker. will miss out through injury. Newly-signed striker Lucas Perez could make his debut, though. Saints’ Fraser Forster is expected back in action, but Jeremy Pied’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury will keep him out for the rest of the season, and Florin Gardos still isn’t back from the knee injury he sustained a year ago.

Best bet: Arsenal to win 2-1 at 15/2

Bournemouth v West Brom

Form Bournemouth: DWLLWD West Bromwich: DLWLLD Head-to-head: These two have a very even history with each other, both sides winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their five meetings.

Team news: New Bournemouth midfielder Emerson Hyndman will miss out through injury. But Jack Wilshere is expected to make his debut after his loan move from Arsenal.

West Brom’s Chris Brunt remains sidelined with the cruciate ligament injury he suffered last season. Club-record signing Nacer Chadli and Wales’ star Hal Robson-Kanu are also expected to make their debuts for the Baggies.

Best bet: 1-1 draw at 11/2

Best bet: 1-1 draw at 7/1

Sunderland v Everton

Form Sunderland: DWLLDD Everton: WWWDWW Head-to-head: Sunderland have lost four, drawn one and lost one in the last six games against Everton.

Team news: Sunderland didn’t make any significant strides in the transfer market, and it seems their season will be pinned on Jermaine Defoe. They must hope his goals will carry them through until January. Everton have no real injury worries. Yannick Bolasie is expected to start, while Ashley Williams will line up in defence and Idrissa Gueye could make his first start after transferring from Aston Villa.

Best bet: Everton to win 2-1 at 8/1

Form Middlesbrough: DWLDDD Crystal Palace: WLLLDD Head-to-head: Crystal Palace have won three, drawn one, and lost two of their last six meetings with Middlesbrough.

Team news: For Middlesbrough, new signings Victor Valdes and Marten De Roon are expected to return, but George Friend, Fabio, James Husband, and Grant Leadbitter are all sidelined. Ex-Aston Villa winger Adama Traore could make his debut. For Palace, keeper Wayne Hennessey is hoping to return, as is Bakary Sako at the other end of the pitch. Fraizer Campbell and Yohann Cabaye remain injured, though.

Best bet: Middlesbrough to win 1-0 at 11/2

West Ham Utd v Watford Form West Ham: LLWDLL Watford: LLLDDL Head-to-head: West Ham have won two, drawn one, and lost three of their last six meetings with Watford.

Best bet: West Ham to win 2-0 at 8/1

Burnley v Hull

Form Burnley: LWLDWL Hull: LDDWWL Head-to-head: Burnley have won four and lost two of their last six meetings with Hull.

Team news: Burnley’s Dean Marney could miss this one with a minor knock, but striker Ashley Barnes is expected back after a hamstring injury. New signing Jeff Hendrick should make his debut. For Hull, Josh Tymon is expected back, but Allan McGregor, Alex Bruce, Moses Odubaj and Michael Dawson provide a lengthy list of defensive absentees. Greg Luer is also out with a knee injury.

Best bet: Hull to win 2-0 at 16/1

Swansea v Chelsea

Form Swansea: LDWLWL Chelsea: LWWDDW Head to head: Swansea have one won, drawn one and lost four in their last six fixtures against Chelsea.

Team news: Chelsea have no new injury concerns ahead of the trip to Liberty Stadium, on Sunday, so it falls to manager Conte whether to bring in Alonso or Luiz after signing both on deadline-day.

Swansea’s Borja Baston could complete his recovery from a thigh injury and partner Fernando Llorente up front on his debut. Guidolin’s squad otherwise boast a clean bill of health, so he’ll have to decide which of his five-man midfield to sacrifice if he wants to include £15.5m Baston.

Best bet: Chelsea to win 2-0 at 7/1
