MARIANO Rajoy, Spain’s Acting Prime Minister, must feel that he has more arms than an octopus as he battles crisis after crisis. But the next two weeks could finally shape the country’s future, and see an end to the political deadlock.

Fresh crisis for Rajoy Continued from Front As you will read on Page 5, Rajoy’s Popular Party is fighting a new, major scandal. This week, he has also had his former favourite snubbed for a high-profile job … and campaigning in vital local elections has proved tough-going.

But the Rita Barberá scandal couldn’t have come at a worse time for Rajoy, who has already eaten humble pie by agreeing to new, anticorruption measures.

That deal with the Ciudadanos party took his tally to 170 delegates in the battle to get a working majority in parliament, and, thus, the formation of a new government.

The Barberá problem is not seen as a deal-breaker, but it could impact on vital local elections in Galicia and the Basque region.

Rajoy is banking on the public getting behind his calls to unite the country. Normally, the regional parties hold sway, but this time the mood is different.

The public, it seems, have had enough of the political limbo and, according to opinion polls, they are blaming Rajoy’s rivals for the deadlock.

T h i s could lead t o

some strong support in the regional voting, and put pressure on local politicians to abstain from another investiture vote. This would, in theory, give Rajoy the support he needs.

However, the vote on 25th September is a long way away.

Galicia will be a far easier region to sway than the Basque region.

The good news for Rajoy is the national polling numbers suggest that should the country be forced into a third general election, which would be held on Christmas Day, he would have enough votes to get the majority he needs. With the help of Cuidadanos, of course.

Rajoy doesn’t want to go to the country again because the reality would mean it would be early February before a government could be sworn in.

And then it would be March before a na-

tional budget could be signed off.

Meanwhile, Spain’s Acting Prime Minister has backed down over the nomination to a World Bank directorship of a former minister linked to the so-called “Panama Papers” scandal.

Gran Canaria’s Jose Manuel Soria, a former Industry Minister who resigned in April, wrote to Íñigo Fernández de Mesa, Secretary of State for Economy, saying he was no longer applying for the position.

He states in the letter that his withdrawal is “at the request of the government”, justifying his decision on the grounds of the “disproportionate”, political ex-

ploitation of his nomination.

But Rajoy seems to have been caught offguard by the criticism within his own party over Soria’s nomination.

De Mesa, No.2 in the Economy Ministry, headed the commission overseeing Soria’s application for a position on the World Bank board, effectively making him Spain’s representative within the multi-lateral lending institution.

The commission announced Soria’s nomination for the post - a formality, given that the World Bank rarely turns down candidates.

The opposition Socialist Party (PSOE) seized the opportunity to accuse the government of favouritism, with senior figures in the PP ranks questioning the wisdom of Soria’s nomination in the days that followed.

Until now, Rajoy has, mostly, managed to secure loyalty in public from party officials, despite his inability to break the political impasse that has left Spain without a government for more than eight months.

Initially, Rajoy defended the decision to nominate Soria as Spain’s World Bank representative. Soria, who has denied any

wrong-doing, resigned as minister in April following reports of alleged links to an offshore company on the British island of Jersey.

He did so to limit any damage to Spain’s caretaker government, Rajoy’s conservative Popular Party (PP).

Rajoy, a personal friend of Soria, conceded that the appointment could be potentially embarrassing, yet he tried to play down the issue.

“I don’t know anything,” said Rajoy.

“The only thing I know is that Mr Soria has left politics.

“He is a civil servant, and he went through the application process like all civil servants do.”

Until now, Rajoy has se-

cured loyalty, at least in public, within party officials. But the evaluation committee which formalised the nomination, was made up of highranking PP government officials.

Rajoy has since confirmed that Soria had informed him of his intention to apply for the post in June.

Soria’s confirmation came two months after he had been linked to the Panama Papers - a treasure trove of 11.5 million internal documents from a Panamabased law firm, which was leaked to the media.

Rajoy seems to have been caught off-guard by the criticism within his own party over Soria’s nomination: the heads of three regional governments have questioned the decision, as has Esperanza Aguirre, former head of the Madrid regional administration, and current opposition leader in Madrid City Hall.

Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has said he will appear before Congress in late September or early October to explain Soria’s nomination.

Canary airports reap huge passenger boom THE eight airports based in the Canary Islands enjoyed a bumper August, with a total of 3,643,964 passengers being welcomed.

It represented an outstanding 11.6% increase over the same month last year, according to Aena, Spain’s airport controllers.

Of the 3,614,596 commercial passengers, 2,263,686 related to international traffic, reflecting an increase of 15.4%.

And of these visitors, 2,148,172 travelled from the European Union, while 115,514 were from countries outside the EU. As for passengers on domestic-flight passengers, they totalled 1,350,910, which was a 5.9% increase on the August 2015 numbers.

The busiest airports in passenger traffic were Gran Canaria, Tenerife South and Lanzarote, with 1,012,541 (+3%), 916

848 (+4%) and 642,277 (+7%) respectively, ranking them seventh, eighth and 11th in Aena’s Spanish network.

They were followed by Fuerteventura Airport, with 543,667 passengers (+6%); Tenerife North, 404,383 (+9%); La Palma, 103,264 (+8%); El Hierro

16,317 (+2%) and La Gomera, 4,667 (+5%).

And of the number of operations, Canary Islands airports recorded 31,707, which was a 14% improvement on last year.

Of the total 29,625 trade figures, 13,312 were international (+6%) and

16,313 domestic (+5%).

In addition, freight planes transported 2,944 tons, which weighed 5% less than in 2015.

In addition, in the first eight months of 2016, the number of passengers registered in Canary Island airports added up to 26,572,285 - 13.2% up

Monday’s event, held at the Insular Palace in Santa Cruz, recognised the provincial group’s important backing from the Cabildo, thanks to President Carlos Alonso, Senior Vice President Aurelio Abreu and

Social Action Minister Cristina Valido.

Parkinson’s, a muscle-wasting disease, is a chronic, progressive movement disorder, which means the symptoms continue and worsen over time.

Alonso thanked the association for choosing the venue to celebrate this commemorative ceremony, and recognised the efforts of those who, despite being affected by the disease, have overcome their own limitations.

Andrew Siverio, Parkinson’s Association President, responded by thanking the Ca-

bildo for its support in strengthening the organisation, which works towards the quality of life of patients and their families.

The disease, which can also bring on fatigue for many sufferers, affects more than 150,000 people in Spain, and there are around 4,500 victims in the Canary Islands.

The Association of Families and People with Parkinson de Tenerife - the group’s official title - has five Canarian centres. There are four in Tenerife and the other one in La Palma.

Marta Arocha, General Director of Disability

and Dependence of the Canary Islands Government, described as “admirable” the activity and tenacity of this association - “giving since 2001 a new horizon to the sick, the team bring warmth, comfort and affection to their families”.

The Association was born 15 years ago to help the needs of those affected by this dreadful disease and their families, who live in the Santa Cruz de Tenerife province.

It also enables them, together, to face the disorders caused by Parkinson’s.

As for transactions recorded in this period, there were 235 898 (+5%), and the traffic of goods transported amounted to 24,728 tons (+6%).

Economy eases jobless figures TENERIFE’S economy has continued to strengthen during the second quarter of 2016.

The trend, which began more than two years ago, continues to show signs of improvement in consumption and investment.

Parkinson’s group celebrates milestone TENERIFE’S Parkinson’s Association, comprising 157 members, of whom more than 70 are affected by this disease, has celebrated its 15th anniversary with the Cabildo.

on last year. Total commercial flights registered 26,234,392, international flights clocked 17,398,664 (+13.9%), and 8,835,728 to national flights (+11.7%).

And this has led to a welcome continuation of the decline in the unemployment rate.

Data obtained from the Economic Situation Bulletin, via Santa Cruz Chamber of Commerce, shows that the dole queue is shrinking, and that this will continue for the foreseeable future.

Among the main factors contributing to the trend is the strength of the tourism sector, and the gradual recovery of mainland demand for Tenerife produce.

Cabildo President Carlos Alonso said: “We intend to reach a point where the Island’s sustainable progress is set for the long term. And I believe the Strategic Insular Development Framework is the key to this.

“It is an instrument of programming and management, which includes a set of plans and programmes, with an initial 10-year period that will identify

the areas in our output most appropriate to achieve the performance levels we need.

“In addition, we will allocate human and financial resources to make the priorities we set, work.”

Alonso also said the investment programme would generate over two billion euros in the 10-year period, via a series of actions supported by the municipalities.

Among the key areas for the Economic Situation Bulletin is the tourism sector, in which Tenerife has enjoyed an annual growth of 16.4%.

It has recorded annual improvements in both domestic tourism (13.7%) and overseas visitors (16.8%).

This increase has also led to an upward curve in related sectors such as trade, catering and transport.

Similarly, signs of improvement in consumption and investment are being seen in comparison with data from a year ago.

This has helped the unemployment rate continue its downward trend, with an annual decline of 3.2% to 26.8% of the labour force, which is 0.5% below the Canaries’ unemployment rate (27.3 %).

Similarly, the number of registered unemployed in June stood below 100,000 for the first time since April 2009.

Long-time mayor accused of being money-launderer RITA Barberá, the former Popular Party’s Valencia Mayor, is being investigated for money-laundering by Spain’s Supreme Court.

The probe relates to the alleged illegal financing of the municipal PP group at Valencia City Hall, while Mrs. Barberá was Mayor.

“The court declares itself competent to investigate and, if necessary, try Mrs María Rita Barberá Nolla for the crime of laundering money, said the Court’s eight-page ruling.

The case was opened in April by a lowercourt judge in Valencia.

But Mrs Barberá’s current position of senator, and Spain’s rules affording some 10,000 politicians and public figures special legal protection, means the case can be investigated by the Supreme Court only.

But in a somewhat surprising move, Mrs Barberá emailed a statement to journalists on Wednesday evening, announcing that she was leaving the PP, but would not be resigning her Senate seat.

“I express my will to

NOT RESIGN from the Senate and to remain there, as the protection of the law allows, because otherwise it could be understood as an assumption of guilt,” she wrote.

“I have asked to leave the Popular Party because that is what the Party has asked me to do.”

The lower-court judge, in his Supreme Court presentation, said there were up to 200,000 euros in unexplained funding in the PP group at Valencia City Hall, stretching back to 2001.

He also said that the total off-the-books’ accounting entries, describing tens of thousands of euros in income of unknown origin, increased in the run-up to local and regional elections in 2004 and 2011.

He added: “In the year 2003, there are five for 11,000 euros from January to May. And from November 2010 to May 2011, four of 29,000 euros and one of 28,500 euros. Both years were years in which local and regional elections were called in May. These kind of entries

Sporting fiesta, and it’s all free SANTA Cruz is offering 1,000 free places to children aged between three and 13 years, who want to start a new sport.

The Autonomous Agency for Sports (OAD) has opened the registration period in its offices, and at City Hall Sports Centre Quico

Cabrera, for a course featuring a selection of 15 events. Futsal and classical and modern dance course are among the new offerings, which will go hand in hand with the traditional sports of swimming, synchronised swimming, volleyball, basketball, tennis, squash,

judo, karate and various gymnastic events. They will all be taught in municipal facilities, along with the swimming pool - now available following refurbishment and improvement works.

The new courses, which begin next Friday (23rd Sept), run until the end of June 2017.

Used car sales up 9%

USED cars continue to hold their value - and sales are still strong.

Between January and August, second-hand car sales rose 9% in the Canary Islands, against the same period last year.

And, says the Institute of Automotive Studies (IEA) - a subsidiary of

the Federation of Automotive Dealers - in real terms, that’s 57,481 sales!

In a statement released by the Federation (Faconauto), 30,385 sales were recorded in the province of Las Palmas, while in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, there were 27,096 sales

in those seven months.

They added up to an increase of 9.3% and 8.6%, respectively, compared with those same months last year.

In the country overall, sales reached 1,229,571 vehicles, which was a 12.8% increase. And, by region, Madrid was tops with a with a 17.6% rise.

do not appear in 2015.”

In a statement accompanying the ruling, the Supreme Court described the mechanism suspected of organising the money laundering.

It read: “Having car-

ried out the pertinent investigations, and always according to the reasoned presentation [of the judge in Valencia], it has been confirmed that in a Banco Sabadell account in the name of the PP Municipal Group in Valencia, some deposits were made, to the amount of 1,000 euros, by 50 people linked to the group and the party, between March 23 and April 16, 2015, among them Barberá.

“The origin of the money that was allegedly laundered is also being investigated.”

Justice Cándido Conde-Pumpido, Director of Public Prosecutions until 2011, has been named as the investigating Supreme Court judge.

The investigation proposal was backed by the Public Prosecutor’s Office in July.

Mrs. Barberá, Mayor of the eastern coastal city for 24 years, is currently a senator.

Ciudadanos leader Albert Rivera reacted quickly to the news, stating that his party’s attitude towards matters of political corruption during negotiations with the PP over the summer had been “very clear, very well defined”.

Rivera added: “It was also agreed that those investigated for political corruption would have to leave their seats in Congress, in the Senate or in government.

“So, we are faced with one of those cases: it has just been confirmed that the Supreme Court has opened an investigation into Rita Barberá over the corruption case in her party in Valencia.

“In the next few days, if the Popular Party wants Ciudadanos’ support at a confidence vote, it is going to have to make Rita Barberá resign.”

Everyone loves the Dino!

IT’S is full of products, it’s in every town and village, it’s locally owned and sourced … and it seems, the locals love it. The Canary Islands’ chain Hiperdino is the most beloved supermarket on the island.

The Dinosol group has been awarded the 2015 No.1 Leading Satisfaction ranking by consulting firm STIGA because of its customers’ commitment.

They evaluated various aspects of the store, such as image, price, service and brand loyalty, as well as recommending it to their relatives and friends.

The award was announced by Hiperdino, which belongs to the Abraham broth-

It adds: “In recent years, we have launched

an ambitious plan of high-quality care and customer service.

“This award is recognition of the hard work, and this is being seen by the customers. We work hard to offer the best service to our customers and this shows via

In terms of image, Hiperdino led the ranks from El Corte InglesHipercor, which scored 81.81 points, 1.1 points lower than Hiperdino.

Lidl was third, with 81.11 points.

Catalonia independence push draws huge crowds AN estimated 800,000 people turned out in Barcelona and other towns in Catalonia on Sunday, which featured a day of rallies by nationalists, whose ambition is to break ties with Spain.

Gran Canaria tops for tourist cruisers

It was appropriate timing because Sunday was “Diada”, Catalonia’s national day, which commemorates the 1714 moment when Barcelona fell to troops loyal to Spain’s King Philip V during the War of the Spanish Succession.

Police estimated that 540,000 people gathered in Barcelona, the capital of the region in north-east Spain, while the rest met up in four

other Catalan towns.

But numbers were down sharply compared with last year’s event, when 1.4 million rallied in Barcelona alone.

Spain has blocked attempts to hold a referendum on secession consistently, while Catalan Regional President Carles Puigdemont had urged support for “converting Catalonia into an independent state”.

Divisions have also emerged between the separatist movement’s main political grouping in the Catalan parliament, the Together for Yes coalition, and the CUP, its radical, leftwing ally.

Puigdemont, who took power in January and advocates a negotiated withdrawal from Spain, faces a confidence vote on 28th September.

When Catalan nationalists held an unofficial referendum on independence in November 2014, 80% of those who voted were in favour.

But, said 58-year-old office clerk Xavier Borras, who attended the Barcelona rally: “We have to move towards the final outcome - we can’t wait any longer.”

Spain’s leading parties, deadlocked in their efforts to form a new government after two inconclusive general elections since December, have shown little sympathy for Catalan grievances.

Yet the region, occupied by 7.5 million people, makes up 16% of Spain’s population - and it accounts for almost 19% of national GDP.

But it still added up to a healthy 621,814 cruisers in the capital, while the Santa Cruz port numbers were up by 2, 05%, to 476,562 tourists.

As for the number of cruise ships, the Las Palmas port received 381 from January to July (-5.46%), compared with 265 in the Tenerife capital - 32 more than in the same 2015 period.

Regarding the importance of the port areas in both cities, they occupy third and fourth spot, respectively, behind Barcelona and the Balearics.

In the whole of Spain, national ports registered a total of 4.24m cruise passengers in the first seven months of the year.

That was 0.67% less than in the same 2015 period, according to the ports’ data, yet arrivals increased 16.3% in July.

From January to July, 1,946 ships landed in Spanish cruise ports, a 1.46% increase, compared with 1,918 ships in the first half of 2015.

In July, 305 ships were registered, up 14.2% compared with the corresponding month last year.

The sector’s winter season always sees a reduction in ship traffic, with a summer increase between June and September. However, cruise passengers accounted for 24.8% of the total 17m passengers recorded so far this year in shipping (+7.84%).

Cruises marked a re-

cord high in 2015, exceeding 8.4m passengers, and, according to port authority forecasts, more than 8.6m passengers will be transported this year.

For ports, Barcelona stood at the top with 1.36m cruise passengers from January to July a 6% increase over the same 2015 period.

Barcelona’s Ciudad Condal received 376 cruisers in its port, which, year-on-year, was three fewer.

It was followed by the Baleares, with 854,685 cruise passengers (-4.64%) and 381 cruises (-5.46%), ahead of third-place Las Palmas, 621,814 passengers and 381 ships, with declines of 9% and 5.46%, respectively.

Santa Cruz, ranked fourth, had 476,562 cruise passengers in the first seven months of 2016 (+2.05%), and a total of 265 ships, 32 more than in the same 2015 period.

Malaga port’s cruise passengers totalled 203,098 through July, down 9%, with just one more ship, taking the total to 121.

It was followed by the Valencia port, with 177,616 cruise passengers (-2.06%). But at least it shipped in 85 vessels, which was two more than last year.

The bay of Cadiz received 163,694 cruise passengers in the same seven-month period almost 27% less, after catering for 134 cruises 24 fewer than last year’s identical period.

Finally, Vigo received 88,451 cruise passengers in that period (+ 1.28%), aboard 47 ships - nine more. And Cartagena recorded 84,428 cruise passengers (+ 26.2%), with 55 ships, an additional five on the 2015 total.

Arona’s health guard over phone antennas

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Home from home for these burglars AS you have probably read on this page already, there has been a spate of robberies over the last few weeks. What worries the police is that they are home invasions.

As we’re a holiday destination, you will always get the odd mugging, handbag-snatch and opportunist crime, and once in a while, a hotel room or two is raided. But on the whole, our castles are left intact.

And this is why the problems of the last fortnight have caused some concern.

We all know the basics.

Keep you balcony door locked and don’t leave windows open at night, even if you are warm in bed.

And if you have a ground-floor apartment, make sure your valuables are brought in for the night. It’s basic common-sense.

These recent break-ins are not connected, apparently, but the timing is interesting. If you look at the crime fig-

ures, you normally get a spike at the same time every year. But I don’t recall a mid-September crime spree in Tenerife before.

Usually, the police are on the ball. A month or so ago, a few high-street businesses were hit, but the villains were soon rounded up. Ditto a couple of pick-pockets in town.

And the fact that we can remember these events is the whole point.

Generally, crime in Tenerife is very low, especially when you consider how many people sleep on our small Island every night.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I heard about a car being nicked, or a bank being held up.

It’s one of the reasons why so many people live here. Most towns and cities have no-go areas, and, while a lot of people will avoid going downtown at 4am, it is not a problem we have.

So, as Nick Ross would say, “don’t have nightmares.”

And don’t leave the balcony door wide open!

ARONA Council has begun work to develop the first “Special Telecommunications Plan” in the municipality. It will regulate the use of mobile-phone antennas to ensure that the residents’ health is not affected.

The first phase began last week with an indepth inventory of sites, and their respective, technical specifications.

Egacan, a specialist company which will perform this complex procedure, will be working hard over the next nine months to get a proper idea of the telecoms’ footprint.

A company spokesman said: “From the first moment, we have liaised with all parties to fully understand the platform, and to see how mobile-phone towers in Arona are effecting the area.

“We don’t have anything against the operators, but we want to know the reality and help create a legal framework to regulate the use of these devices in the municipality.

“We will look at it from

a point of law-enforcement, and we’ll manage the installations and emissions in a more rational way.”

Town Planning Councillor Luis Garcia said the first phase of the Special Plan has started with the development of a complete, updated inventory of antenna sites.

This will be compared with records provided by the Directorate General of Industry, after a physical examination throughout the municipality.

The next step will be to develop a profile of each of these facilities, with the technical parameters, urban and emission measurements - and electro-magnetic measurements (EMR)!

The second phase will involve the identification of sensitive points, in which the World Health Organisation (WHO) considers it ill-advisable to install these structures - such as near schools, medical or sports centres.

During this period, progress of the work will be updated at

monthly meetings.

Luis Garcia also stressed: “Our intention is to meet with the operators and, of course, with other political parties before the end of

the nine-month period.

“We want legal coverage to be given to mobile telephony, and also the right of the neighbours’ health to be respected.”

Police plagued by spate of break-ins SECURITY forces have reported an increase in burglaries in recent weeks, following a series of break-ins here in the South.

A number of residential apartments in Chayofa have been broken into, and hotel rooms and apartments have also been targeted in the tourist areas.

The National Police Commissioner of Southern Tenerife has confirmed that numbers have risen sharply this month. And many of the robberies were staged in accommodation establishments in the Adeje and Arona municipalities. One night last week alone produced a dozen reported incidents, in which money or valuables were stolen.

Because of the characteristics of these inci-

dents, Police specialists are trying to identify the perpetrators. But they believe that many of the robberies are unconnected.

According to Guardia Civil sources, the Adeje region has had the most reported cases. And both homes and commercial premises have been targeted in this area during August and September.

Several break-ins have occurred in Los Olivos, Playa Paraiso and Callao Salvaje.

On Monday morning, burglars broke into a number of houses in La Postura, Adeje, with the inhabitants inside - or asleep.

Guardia Civil officers are investigating, and the number of police patrols in that area has been increased.

Ebola nurse is cleared of misconduct charge PAULINE Cafferkey, the Scottish nurse who contracted Ebola after working in Sierra Leone, has been cleared of misconduct by Edinburgh’s Nursing and Midwifery Council.

A disciplinary hearing had heard that Ms Cafferkey had, potentially, put the public at risk when she returned to the UK in December 2014.

She was said to have failed to declare her true temperature at a Heathrow airport screening are, described as “busy, disorganised and even chaotic”.

The hearing was told that a doctor had recorded Ms Chafferer’s temperature at 38.3C (100F), after her flight back from west Africa, which was considerably more than the 37.5C threshold for

further assessment. But it was alleged that an unnamed colleague said she would record the 40-yearold’s temperature at 37.2C so they could “get out of here and sort it out”.

Ms Cafferkey, who had been deployed to Sierra Leone for six weeks, was cleared to take an onward flight to Glasgow, only to awake feeling “very unwell” the following day.

She was promptly diagnosed with Ebola and spent nearly a month being treated at a London isolation unit.

An independent panel found that three charges against 40-year-old Ms Cafferkey were not proven, meaning her fitness to practise was “not impaired”.

The panel also decided

that Ms Cafferkey had not set out to mislead Public Health England.

Chairman Timothy Cole said that “compelling and clear medical evidence” about Ms Cafferkey’s state of mind at the time of her return had been central to the decision. During the hearing Ms Cafferkey’s lawyer, Joyce Cullen, rejected the allegation of misconduct, telling the threeperson panel that the nurse’s ability to make decisions was likely to have been substantially impaired by exhaustion after a 22-hour flight, as well as the early effects of the virus.

Ms Cullen added that the nurse’s previously unblemished record could have made it more likely that she was acting out of character as a result

of exhaustion and illness. Ms Cafferkey was diagnosed with one of the most severe viral-loads of Ebola ever recorded.

After being discharged from the Royal Free Hospital in January 2015, she returned to work as a public health nurse in Blantyre, Scotland.

She has since been admitted to hospital on two further occasions once with a relapse of the Ebola virus, and once for chronic meningitis.

After the hearing, Ms Cullen said: “Throughout her career, Pauline has been motivated by a genuine desire to help other people, even if this meant putting her own life at risk.

“She would never have knowingly put anyone in danger - Pauline was lucky to survive.”

16th September - 22nd September 2016

Bank of Spain owns up to 26bn bailout disaster THE Bank of Spain has now admitted that the 26.3bn euros it paid out in state aid to the country’s banks will never be clawed back, despite its 2012 promise that voters would not foot the bill for the financial crisis.

Its confession came after acknowledging last week that just 5% of the 51.3bn spent on Spain’s banking bailout over the last seven years has been recovered.

A further 11.7bn, dished out by the banks themselves, will never be recovered, which means that the total 38bn-euro sum paid into the banking system has vanished forever.

It represents 2.6% of GDP and, to put it in context, the Spanish Government has cut education and health spending by 16bn euros over the last five years!

So far, no official figures have been released about how much money has been spent on restructuring Spain’s savings banks.

Bankia, the former Caja Madrid, has cost taxpayers 22.4bn in an effort to prepare it for sale, but financial analysts say it is unlikely that the full cost will ever be recovered.

Antoni Garrido, an Applied Economics professor at the University of Barcelona, blames the

failure to recover money from the banks on the impact of the construction sector’s collapse.

“This was where almost all lending and investment went, generating huge losses within the financial system,” he says. He also points to “delays in attacking solvency problems, which made the situation worse, because doubts about the reality of the situation worsened the economy”.

Aristóbulo de Juan, a former Bank of Spain General Director, agrees, saying: “Acting so late certainly increased the losses to many savings banks, and the cost of cleaning them up.

“The initial diagnoses regarding the savings banks were extremely optimistic, and their subsequent treatment

was clearly insufficient.

“By 2012, four or five years after the crisis kicked in, and they were recapitalised with real money and the Sareb (the so-called toxic bank) was set up, the underlying losses had already multiplied.”

De Juan adds: “The problem is also that the Sareb had to acquire bad assets at very unrealistic prices, leaving part of the losses in the recapitalised banks and the rest in the Sareb.”

Rafael Hurtado, a lecturer at CUNEF - a business school linked to Madrid’s Complutense University - adds that Spain’s banks have performed poorly over the last eight years: “The economic environment and low interest rates in Spain have not allowed for adequate returns,” he says.

“This has impacted on the evaluation of the entities.”

But de Juan disagrees, saying: “The reason earnings are so low is that the bulk of recapitalisation has been spent on filling the financial black hole, rather than on helping the banks stay afloat.”

He is pessimistic about recovering much of the money spent on the bank bailout. Instead, he foresees what he views as a “drip effect” from the sale of shares from the FROB, or Orderly Bank Restructuring Fund, dividends and corporate tax.

And he is quick to point out that money from the Guarantee Fund will never be recovered.

“The obstacles placed by the authorities in the way of interested

parties in acquiring these entities in crisis, such as foreign banks and aggressive investment funds, reduced the number of potential buyers and, thus, the prices being offered,” he says.

Over the last five years, the government has cut education and health spending by 16bn euros.

Yet the Bank of Spain expects to recover a further 2.3bn euros from the 51.3bn spent on the bailout.

But a veteran from Spain’s banking sector, who asks to remain anonymous, sums up the situation, warning: “Don’t expect any good news. The banks have lost half of their value and will take years to recover.”

In June 2012, when the Spanish Government announced its rescue plan for the country’s crippled banking system - funded in part by the European Central Bank - Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told Congress: “Have no doubt that most of the money going to the nationalisation of these banks will be recovered.

The loan will not be paid for by society - on the contrary!”

The same day, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insisted: “This is a loan to the banks, and the banks will pay it back.”

A few weeks later, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría reiterated the government’s line, insisting: “We have organised this bank rescue so that it doesn’t cost taxpayers a single euro.”

Schools’ big spruce-up!

LA Laguna, through the Works and Infrastructure scheme, has carried out a variety of renovations and improvements to the publicly- owned schools over the last few months.

It means that of the 100 planned improvements, 75% of them have been completed and the rest will be started shortly.

The work is being carried out by municipal staff and a small number of contractors.

Over half-a-million euros has so far been spent, which will rise to more than 700,000 euros by the time the project has been completed.

La Laguna Mayor Jose Alberto Diaz, along Councillors Agustin Hernandez and Atteneri Falero, from the Works and Education Departments, visited the schools this week to inspect the work.

And Alberto Diaz said: “The improvements are there for all to see, and shows the educational community how important all aspects are. This, of course, includes such factors as accessibility, safety and health.”

The completed works range from creating ramps and access points, repairing and building walls, pruning trees, replacing windows and doors, electrical installations, waterproofing roofs, new fences and repairing bathrooms, along with a lick of paint.

Economy’s sweet sound of Adele and Sam Smith BRITAIN’S total domination of worldwide music charts is paying off handsomely in monetary terms at home.

So much so that the domestic music industry contributed £4.1bn to the UK economy in 2015.

That’s according to new research from the industry body UK Music, which shows that most of the revenue came from music exports, worth £2.2bn

over the course of the year. And it’s down to the overseas success of artists like Adele, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran.

The UK’s dominance in the global music market was such that one in six of all artist albums sold anywhere in the world last year came from home-grown artists, while 50% of 2015’s top-selling albums were recorded by Britons.

While adapting to the

new ways people are consuming their music has been a challenge for the UK industry, the report found that the growth of online musicstreaming over the past four years has actually offset declines elsewhere in the market.

Streaming sites, including Spotify, have provided a “significant boost” to the digital music market Streaming sites, including Spotify, Apple

Music and Tidal, have provided a “significant boost” to the digital music market over the course of 2015, with paid services valued at £251m - a sizeable jump from the £168m registered in 2014.

Jo Dipple, UK Music Chief Executive, said the figures showed the “strength and resilience of the British music market” over several years.

She added: “Distri-

bution changes, and trends may come and go. But all the while, our music outperforms both in the UK and all over the globe.

“The UK needs to solidify its new post-Brexit place in the world, and music will undoubtedly be part of the glue that does this.”

The UK Culture Secretary Karen Bradley, responding to the report, said: “The extraordinary success of artists

like Coldplay and Adele added billions to our economy. We want to maintain and build on that success.

“The Government is working closely with industry bodies, such as UK Music, to make it easier for these artists to do business. And it is investing in music education to nurture the next wave of successful British artists we want to see perform across the whole world.”

Authorities saw through the double-glazing actor

Not that many new companies opening THE “new company” boom, enjoyed in the Canary Islands last year, appears to have been a oneoff. The creation of new firms fell 13.3% to just 273 in July, compared with the same month last year.

The National Statistics Institute (INE),which publishes the figures, also emphasises that the number of dissolved companies is down 26.8 %, year-on-year.

In the whole of Spain,

the establishment of commercial companies increased by 1.7% in July over the 2015 figure then, which amounts to an extra 8,205 companies.

Nationally, the July number makes it four consecutive months of increases in new companies after rising 14.8% in April, 9.3% in May and 12.7% in June.

Cataluña, Madrid and Andalusia had the most number of companies created in July, with 2,097, 1,440 and 1,388 respectively, while Navarra (43), La Rioja (65) and Cantabria (79) were the regions with fewer new companies.

THE man who earned a fortune as the TV face of a double-glazing company has been warned that he faces jail for tax-dodging, unless he hands over more than £53,000.

Over a six-year period, actor Jeff Brown delivered the irritating catchphrase, “You buy one, you get one free”, for Safestyle UK. He also acted as a match-day host for Burnley FC, on top of being a self-employed salesman.

But he failed to file any tax returns on his haul.

Earlier this year, at Burnley Crown Court, Brown admitted six counts of being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of income tax. He received a 20-month prison sentence, suspended for two years.

But this week the 51-year-old, appearing again at the same court for a Proceeds of Crime hearing, was ordered to pay a £53,498 confiscation order within the next three months - or face 12 months in jail.

Prosecutor Jeremy

Lasker told the court: “There’s no doubt this defendant lived his life with cash. That was one of the problems.

“We have had to arrive at an appropriate benefit figure, arising out of the defendant’s pleas to these offences.

“Initially, the Crown were prepared to give to the defendant the benefit of 10% worth of deductible expenses. The defence position was around about 30%, so we have come to a compromise.

“The figure was £50,000, to which we have added a figure for the notional change of value since then - that’s £3,498 which brings the total benefit figure to £53,498.

The realisable assets more than exceed that.”

Mr Lasker told the court they “understand” that HMRC does not intend to pursue a tax assessment against Brown for the lost tax.

Timothy Brennand, defending, said Brown, a local Burnley resident, “has now got his finances in order” by employing an

accountant and a bookkeeper.

Recorder Mark Brown said it was an “eminentlyappropriate resolution of this particular case”.

An earlier hearing was told that officers from HMRC raided Brown’s home in February last year and found “bundles of cash” - up to £15,000 hidden inside a bedroom wardrobe, The court had heard that Brown was without an employment contract with Safestyle, but was given commission payments of £333,179 for canvassing and motivational work.

He was also given nearly £11,000 for freelance work at Burnley FC as a match-day room host, being paid either cash or cheque for 110 home

matches. Zoe Ellerbeck, from HMRC’s Fraud Investigation Service, said: “This is a case of a well-known, local personality and TV character flaunting the law as if it didn’t apply to him.

“Brown had submitted tax returns in the past and, therefore, was well aware of his tax obligations. This was deliberate theft from taxpayers. We are determined to recover stolen tax from criminals who deprive the UK of vital funds.

“Deliberately evading tax in this way is insulting to the honest taxpayers, but HMRC is determined to clamp down on financial crime, and Brown is now repaying the proceeds of his criminal behaviour.”

Madrid mobbed by bullfight protesters THOUSANDS of people flooded Madrid’s streets on Sunday to demand an end to Spain’s controversial bullfighting tradition.

Protesters held up banners saying: “Bullfighting, the school of cruelty” and “Bullfighting, a national shame.”

True, the number of Spanish bullfights is falling, but up to 2,000 events are still held every year. Bull-fighting has been banned in the Canary Islands for decades.

The move targeted the controversial Toro de la Vega festival in Tordesillas, where horsemen chase a bull before spearing it.

Chelo Martin Pozo, 39, who travelled from

Seville to Madrid to join the demonstration, said: “Bulls feel, and they suffer - Bullfights are a national shame.”

Opponents say the

practice amounts to torture, and animal rights activists held black neckties at the start of the rally.

Madrid resident Azu-

cena Perez said: “Our laws should prohibit the torture of animals as a form of entertainment.”

Recent opinion polls suggest public sup-

port for bullfighting has waned. But annual events, such as Pamplona’s San Fermin, are still followed by a loyal crowd, including tour-

ists from all over the world.

Bullfight supporters, known as “aficionados”, believe the tradition is an ancient art form, rooted deeply in national history. Among them is acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

Followers have also organised demonstrations, attracting thousands of people. In contrast, opponents describe the pageants as barbaric.

In 2010, Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition. And Madrid’s leftist mayor, who took over last year, has withdrawn subsidies for bullfighting schools.

A bullfighter who died in July after being gored was the first matador to die in the ring in the country for more than 30 years.

Greening. Former Deputy PM and LibDem leader Nick Clegg might also see his Sheffield Hallam constituency vanish.

Prime Minister Theresa May’s constituency will not be affected, and neither will that of Chancellor Philip Hammond.

The political map of all four UK nations will be redrawn, so that each seat will contain an average of 75,000 voters.

Constituencies earmarked for extinction will be absorbed by their neighbours to save £66m over five years, as well as giving equal weight to each seat.

Constitution Minister Chris Skidmore said: “The Government is committed to ensuring fair and equal representation for the voting

public across the UK.” But Ashworth argued: “There is nothing fair about redrawing boundaries with millions left out, and reducing the number of elected MPs, while the unelected House of Lords continues to grow.

“These changes are not about fairness to voters; they are about what is best for the Tory Party, and they must not go ahead. The Commission must rethink and ensure that no elector loses out.”

Whatever the outcome, the number of MPs will be cut from 533 to 501 in England, from 59 to 53 in Scotland, from 40 to 29 in Wales and 18 to 17 in Northern Ireland. Scotland’s Boundary Commission will publish its proposals on 20th October.

Labour anger as Tories are handed a vital tonic THE Labour party, which has described plans to revise the parliamentary constituencies as “unfair and undemocratic”, could lose several seats - giving the Tories a 40-seat majority, rather than the current 12.

Under the proposed shake-up to cut 50 of the 650 MPs in the House of Commons, the main opposition party would drop around 25 seats - twice as many as the Tories - based on the 2015 General Election results.

Those whose constituencies would disappear under the proposals include Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith, his chief rival for the job.

Corbyn was “very unhappy” that the Islington North constituency

he has represented for 33 years could vanish.

He said the changes were based on an outdated version of the electoral register and left a “democratic deficit”.

He also said the figures, taken from electoral registers and published by the Office for National Statistics in

PROPOSED REDUCTIONS Proposed reductions put forward for each region by the Boundary Commission are: Eastern: 58 current (57 proposed) East Midlands: 46 (44) London: 73 (68) North East: 29 (25) North West: 75(68) South East: 83 (81) South West: 55 (53) West Midlands: 59 (53) Yorkshire/Humber: 54 (50) Wales: 40 (29)

February, were from December and meant that two million people were not represented.

However, Conservative MP Mark Harper said the current boundaries were based on data from 2000 - and would be 20 years out of date by the next General Election.

The Boundary Commission’s initial proposals for England and Wales will be subject to public consultation before the final map is submitted in 2018, to be used in the 2020 election.

Shadow Minister Jon Ashworth said the Commission review was “about what is best for the Tory Party” and not about “fairness to voters”.

And Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner accused Theresa May of attempting to “gerrymander” the Commons.

But the Commission denied the Conservatives had influenced the proposals, saying that

was “absolutely not the case”.

A spokesman said Corbyn would see many of his Islington North supporters shift to the new constituency of Finsbury Park and Stoke Newington, and added: “There’s every reason to believe he will remain in Parliament.”

But Corbyn will be fighting key allies Emily Thornberry and Diane Abbott for one of the two seats that will remain.

The main concern for many Labour backbenchers facing reselection, who voted against the leader, is that Momentum, the grass-roots movement, might field candidates more sympathetic to Corbyn’s cause. They include Yvette Cooper, Chuka Umunna and Tristram Hunt.

Conservatives whose constituencies could vanish include Boris Johnson, George Osborne and the Education Secretary Justine

Cult concert staggered by assaults and drug-takers WHAT should have been a spectacular night for up to 12,000 Northern Ireland youngsters, at a cult “MTV Crashes” concert in Londonderry last Saturday, was transformed into a nightmare for dozens.

Instead of enjoying one of electronic dance music’s youngest superstars, Martin Garrix, the Dutch DJ who headlined the event, they ended up in hospital, being treated for assault or drug-andalcohol-related conditions.

At least 30 people, some as young as 13, were taken to Altnagelvin Hospital’s A&E during and after Saturday’s Club MTV Crashes event at Ebrington Square.

And some of those admitted needed intensive care treatment.

Paul Bayliss, Emergency Medical Consultant, told the BBC that resources at the department had been “stretched to their limits”.

He added: “There was a significant increase in attendances, from early evening on Saturday through to the early hours of Sunday morning.

“There was a large number of young people at the department, ranging in age from around 13 to 25, most of them intoxicated with alcohol and or recreational drugs.”

The doctor also said there was an increase in the number of cases of assault - and that injured patients said they had been assaulted by people who were drunk or high on drugs.

“I know it’s a night of fun for them,” added Dr Bayliss. “But when you’re stitching up their faces, you’re thinking this scar is a souvenir they’ll have for the rest of their lives.”

He added that many of the additional patients were “extremely distressed” and required significant nursing support.

“Our usual, challenging Saturday evening became a more dangerous environment for all our patients as our fixed staffing resources strived to cope with the additional workload.”

And, warning parents to give “careful consideration” before allowing teenagers to attend such events in future, Dr Bayliss stressed: “The drugs being peddled at these concerts are not regulated in any way. There is no way of knowing the dangers of consuming them, especially when washed down with alcohol.

“It can lead to extreme vulnerability to all forms of assault as they lose their ability to object to whatever might happen to them.”

Legacy Promotions, which organised the concert, is considering rethinking its policy of

allowing under-18s to attend such events.

The company said there was strict security and a medical triage system within Ebrington, which determined the severity of injuries ans who was treated first. But it claimed the problem stemmed from concert-goers drinking before the event.

“At the gates, we were dealing with people who were inebriated under the age of 18,” said the company’s Robert Allen.

“We have a duty of care to either treat them there, or take them to our triage. Regardless of what age they are, we had to treat them.”

He said the organisers did not want “the responsibility of having to look after underage” concert-goers who had taken alcohol outside the event.

He also said that staff turned away “probably a few hundred” young people because they had consumed excess alcohol.

Illegals nearly trebled, but number is still low ILLEGAL immigration almost tripled in the Canary Islands last year, going from 294 people who entered the Archipelago through canoes and small boats in the previous year to a total of 875.

These latest immigration figures have been released by the Interior Ministry, but it clarified that the number was still well below that recorded a decade ago, when totals were up to five digits.

“It should be noted that this increase does not alter the downward trend that has been maintained year after year in the fight against “irregular” immigration in the Canary Islands, as is evident in the historical series 2001-2015,” said the Interior Ministry.

In addition, the migratory pressure on the

land borders of Spanish enclaves Ceuta and Melilla, which are in North Africa, increased by 55.3% in 2015 to reach 11,624. And this figure has been swollen by the largest-ever influx of Syrian refugees.

Last year, specifically, the autonomous cities were hit with irregular arrivals, totalling 11,624 people, of which 7,189 were Syrian refugees and 4,435 of other nationalities.

A year earlier, 7,485 people entered irregularly, and 3,305 of them were also of Syrian nationality.

As for jumping the border fences of Ceuta and Melilla, the balance indicates that the entries by this method - 67.8% and 78% respectively - were reduced.

As for irregular arrivals by sea, there was a 16.7% increase last year, especially on the Canary Islands route.

The Ministry indicated that 20,091 immigrants tried to enter Spain illegally last year, which was 4.3% less than in 2014.

Churchill’s big bung for Spanish big-wigs AN MI6 spy report in World War II revealed that his horrifying discovery forced Prime Minister Winston Churchill to make a huge £840m bribe to Spain.

The British spook discovered a sensational, secret meeting between Hitler and General Franco, Spain’s fascist dictator, about the latter entering the Second World War in 1940 as an ally of Nazi Germany.

The spy, known as Agent T, reported the meeting to London, where a panicky Churchill came up with a plan to bribe Spanish generals and businessmen to persuade Franco not to support the Nazis, reports The Times.

Churchill made payments worth about £840 million in today’s money to prevent Spain entering the war.

The bribe was revealed by Ángel Viñas, author of Bribes: How Churchill and March Bought Franco’s Generals.

Churchill, desperate to keep Spain out of the war, claims that Agent T was a member of the Falange - a Fascist movement founded in Spain in 1933 - but was secretly working for MI6.

The bribe, following the sight of a chilling album of mugshots which helped bring scores of Nazi war criminals to justice, was unearthed more than 70 years later.

The gallery of Hitler’s henchmen involved in the Holocaust was assembled by an Allied intelligence officer, whose job was to interrogate the monsters.

A vital part of the questioning was to

persuade them to provide an authentic signature to compare it with handwriting of Nazi officials who signed off orders for war atrocities.

This key evidence, which helped convict the war criminals, was one of the main reasons why so many Nazis tried to burn millions of documents as the Allies advanced on Berlin towards the end of World War II.

Police stalemate over night shifts THERE is still a stalemate in the ongoing overtime problem with police forces at night, and it looks as though the dispute will continue to run, unless a solution can be found.

This week, unions representing the local police in Santa Cruz de Tenerife - Asipal, CSI-F, CCOO and UGT - announced in a joint press release: “There has been a breakdown of negotia-

tions with the Council with regard to the nocturnal pay and conditions of our agents.

“In the agreement reached in 2013, the working of night shifts was an overtime benefit, unless it was part of an agreed job structure.

“Management and unions also agreed that a significant part of the police is the possibility of shifts at night as necessary, to meet increasing public demands that occur during those hours.

“It was also agreed that there would be many more police on the night shifts. How-

ever, this has not happened.”

The unions say that, from next month, the number of police serving in the city “will be significantly reduced, and there will not be any reinforced police service on the night shift”.

They add: “There has never been a negotiation on this worrying subject. This is an imposition by the government, with considerable prejudice in the salaries of police officers who, despite the cuts and staff shortages, have been doing their public functions through thick and thin.”

Kiss goodbye …to the war

Brave Belgian will know just when her race is run BELGIAN Paralympian Marieke Vervoort, who has an incurable, degenerative, muscle disease, has revealed that she will choose euthanasia to end her life … but not just yet!

The wheelchair racer, who won a silver medal last Saturday in the 400m, said she signed euthanasia papers in her native country – where it is legal – in 2008.

Belgian newspapers reported that she might end her life after Rio, but she rejected the speculation at a news conference following

her silver triumph.

She said she was “still enjoying every little moment”, adding: “When the moment comes when I have more bad days than good days, then I have my euthanasia papers. But the time is not there yet.”

The 37-year-old suffers constant pain, seizures and paralysis in her legs - all of which leaves her hardly able to sleep. She was just 14 when diagnosed, and, gradually, her life became a “constant battle”.

Yet she has held the pain at bay, long enough to achieve a distinguished career in wheelchair racing, winning 100m gold and 200m silver in the 2012 London Olympics, and now a silver medal in Rio.

But because she finds the punishing training schedule so hard, she has confirmed that this will be her last Paralympic Games.

“It’s a feeling of ‘Yes, I won a silver medal,’”, she told the BBC. “But there is also another side to the medal … the side of suffering and of saying goodbye to the sport. Because I love the sport; sport is my life.”

The euthanasia possibility gave her the courage to keep going as long as she has, she says, adding that it must not be characterised as “murder”.

She explains: “It gives a feeling of rest to people..I know when it’s enough for me - I have those papers!”

Speed to blame for train-crash tragedy THE train in which four people died when it crashed in the Galicia town of O Porriño last Friday, was travelling at nearly four times the 30 km/h speed limit on a stretch of secondary track.

Technical expert Juan Carlos Carballeira told reporters outside the O Porriño court about its 118km/h speed after the black-box data had been revealed to a judge, along with rail operator Renfe’s representatives and track operator Adif.

Local newspaper La Voz de Galicia reported that the Tren Celta service was normally allowed to pass O Porriño

station - where it is not scheduled to stop - on the main line at up to120 km/h.

But the train had been diverted into sidings twice last Friday because of maintenance work - firstly, 100 metres before a bridge near the station, and then 50m before the station itself.

Yet both sidings have a 30 km/h speed limit.

The train, travelling to Porto, in Portugal, from Spain’s Vigo, veered off the track and hit the wall of a bridge as it was going underneath, crashing just before entering a station.

Tragically, it left four people dead: the Portu-

guese driver and Spanish conductor, as well as a US passenger and another Spaniard. A further 47 passengers were injured.

Yet the train had been fully overhauled in May, said Spanish officials, while Portugal’s rail chief described it as being “in perfect condition”.

Galicia was also the scene of one of Spain’s worst rail disasters in 2013, when some 80 people were killed and another 144 injured after a high-speed train crashed into a concrete wall on the outskirts of Santiago de Compostela.

IT was heralded as an iconic photograph, marking the end of World War Two, and it didn’t harm the American woman being kissed by a sailor because she lived to the grand old age of 92.

Greta Zimmer Friedman died of pneumonia at a Richmond, Virginia, hospital, said her son, Joshua Friedman.

But what a picture, what a story! Ms Friedman was a 21-year-old dental assistant when she was grabbed and kissed by George Mendonsa in New York’s Times Square on 14th August 1945.

That moment, captured on camera, became one of the enduring, endearing images of the Americans’ VJ Day celebrations.

It was originally published in Life magazine as part of a round-up of celebration pictures.

Yet Ms Friedman said

she wasn’t even aware of the photo until the Sixties, when she saw a book by the man who took the picture, renowned photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt.

A number of people claimed to be the sailor and the dental nurse in the photo. But it was not until the Eighties that confirmation came that they were actually Ms Friedman and Mr Mendonsa.

And though the picture caught the pair in a tight embrace, they did not actually know each other.

Mr Mendonsa was on a date with his future wife, who can be seen smiling in some of the photos!

“It wasn’t much of a kiss,” recalled Ms Fried-

man in an interview with the Veterans’ History Project in 2005. “It was just somebody celebrating. It wasn’t a romantic event.”

Although the photo is lauded as a symbol of the joy felt by Americans on the day Japan surrendered to the United States, some snobby people in recent times view the photo, as Time Magazine put it, as “little more than the documentation of a very public sexual assault”.

What a load of tosh! It captured perfectly the moment, the mood of the people, the promise of peace.

It must surely have been the happiest, most joyous moment of their lives thus far.

SS medic on trial for mass murders at last A FORMER SS medic accused of being a mass murderer at Auschwitz, whose trial was postponed three times for health reasons, has now appeared in court, in Neubrandenburg, north-eastern Germany.

The indictment of Hubert Zafke, a 95-yearold German, covers one month in 1944 - from 15th August to 14th September.

The Nazis killed about 1.1m people at Auschwitz, most of them Jews.

Shortly before the pretrial hearing, Zafke was given another medical check to determine under what conditions the trial could take place.

On three previous occasions, the trial was postponed, his defence arguing that he suffered from poor health, high blood pressure and suicidal thoughts.

According to the indictment, the SS medic served for several weeks in 1944 in the medical unit at Auschwitz, during World War Two. Mr Zafke denied the charges, arguing that he treated wounded soldiers and members of the SS only.

Prosecutors say that, like other SS guards at

Auschwitz, the medic was well aware of the camp’s function as “an industrial-scale mass murder site”.

According to the indictment, thousands of people died while he was there.

Teenage Jewish girl Anne Frank arrived at Au s c h w i t z - B i r k e n a u during the period covered by his indictment.

She died in another camp, at Bergen-Belsen, shortly before it was liberated by the British Army in 1945.

But the chances of securing convictions for the last surviving Nazis have become harder because the remaining defendants are all now in their nineties.

In June, a German court sentenced former Auschwitz guard Reinhold Hanning to five years in jail for being accessory to the murder of at least 170,000 people.

But a state court in the northern city of Kiel ruled last Friday that a 92-year-old woman was unfit to stand trial on charges of being accessory to 260,000 counts of murder. She was the SS radio operator for the commandant at Auschwitz.

About one million Jews were killed at the camp in Nazi-occupied Poland. Other victims included Roma (gypsies), disabled people, homosexuals, dissidents, non-Jewish Poles and Soviet prisoners.

Brits may feel the visa pinch

BRITONS could possibly be denied entry into European countries without a visa, following the revelation that the European Commission is considering them for the Schengen zone, comprising 26 European countries.

It is believed that the visa operation would work the same way as

America, which means visitors from outside the zone would have to apply for one before their journey.

To make matters worse, new reports state that this visa could set back British tourists £50. That’s how much a visa costs for non-EU residents to visit the Schengen zone, and Brits might have to follow suit.

Countries within the Schengen area include Greece, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal.

And if a new visa system is introduced, holidays could prove trick-

ier because the EU is said to be considering tighter security at the borders following terror attacks in France and Belgium.

The Guardian says the EC is set to unveil draft legislation for the EU travel information and authorisation system (Etias) later this year.

Camino Mortera-Martinez, a research fellow specialising in justice and home affairs at the Centre for European Reform, told the Guardian: “In theory, UK citizens, as third-country nationals, would cer-

tainly be subject to the obligations (of such a scheme).

“This will have to be part of the Brexit talks.

It will all have to be negotiated.”

Frank Brehany, HolidayTravelWatch Consumer Director, said the introduction of a visa system for British nationals could cause staggering costs, on top of already-pricey holidays.

He added: “The proposed introduction of an EU type ‘ESTA’, or ‘ETIAS’ system, has been under construction for some time.”

Marilyn Monroe’s sequinned President’s dress for auction THE dress worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang Happy Birthday to US President John F Kennedy, is to be sold at auction in November for a likely £1.5m.

The Jean Louis-designed outfit, which is covered with sequins, matched her skin tone and was, reportedly, so tight that she had to be sewn into it.

This gave the impression that she was naked after she shed her fur coat to sing to the President at a Democratic Party fund-raiser on 19th May 1962.

The performance, at New York’s Madison

Square Garden, was actually 10 days before the late President’s 45th birthday.

Monroe, who starred in films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, died of a drug overdose less than three months later. Kennedy was assassinated the following year.

Fund manager Martin Zweig bought the dress in 1999 for $1.26m, keeping it mounted on a mannequin in a climatecontrolled display case.

He viewed the purchase as an investment, but he died in 2013. Darren Julien, President and Chief Executive of Beverly Hills-based Julien’s Auctions, said: “It’s like the

equivalent of a Monet, just because of its historic significance - and its connection to one of the most important actresses of our time.”

The dress, he added, had been “immaculately preserved”. And, along with hundreds of other items from Monroe’s colourful if, ultimately, tragic life, it will be auctioned between 17-19th November.

Before then, though, the dress will travel outside the US for the first time - to the Museum of Style Icons in Newbridge, Ireland, where it will be displayed from 29th October until 6th November.

Parking Wars

Don't Miss...

Tuesday 20th September, ITV1, 20.00 “When it comes to parking, the British like to have a sense of fair play.” - Paul Pearson, Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator This returning three-part documentary series for ITV looks at the controversial world of parking through the eyes of motorists and traffic wardens.

Campaigners air their views on the issue of where drivers can park in modern-day Britain, where CCTV cameras and armies of enforcers ensure spaces are kept safe and clear of illegally parked motors.

Cameras follow enforcers from authorities in Herefordshire, Havering and Gravesham as they try to keep order on the streets – dishing out tickets and fining motorists on high streets and in car parks.

Special parking hearings known as Traffic Penalty Tribunals attempt to make sense of the ongoing war between motorists and councils. They deal with more 25,000 parking disputes a year from everyday motorists fighting to have their fines withdrawn.

With exclusive access to tribunals around the country, the series sees drama unfold as drivers come face to face with lawyers who decide whether to let them off or not.

In the first episode, Geoff Lawrence is preparing for his latest appeal, for parking on a kerb in Slough. He says: “Because I have a disabled ticket in my vehicle that means I can park, the issue was the suggestion that I had parked up on the kerb, but there is no kerb. I can run my foot along there and my foot collides with nothing... There is no kerb.”

On the most southwesterly point of the UK, in Cornwall, lies Coverack, a peaceful fishing village, where residents are up in arms because for the last 11 years a family have been living for free in part of the main car park. The local council are trying to evict Sally Bowers, a traveller, and Elwood, her 18-year-old son, along with their two dogs and 16 vehicles. She says: “Obviously we don’t want to move, unless every opportunity has been explored, don’t want to move unless it’s absolutely necessary. The solution is out there somewhere, just got to find it.”

In Hereford, civil enforcement officer CEO Yvonne, a mother of two, likes to think she takes a maternal approach to the job. She says: “I like to think I’m a bit softer than some CEOs. You don’t have to be all traffic wardeny.”

Yvonne doesn’t usually dish out more than one ticket per car per day, but a repeat offender gets her hot under the collar, leading to a potentially dangerous situation after he repeatedly illegally parks, then leaves his car in a disabled bay before calling in his friends. He says: “You can put another one on there if you want, I’m getting rid of the car tomorrow so it don’t bother me. Yeah, no probs, I ain’t paying it anyway.”

Joanna Lumley’s Japan ITV1, 21.00

Tokyo was bombed extensively during the second world war, so almost all of Tokyo has been built in the last seventy years; a symbol of Japan’s post war economic boom that saw it become the world’s second largest economy.

In the evening, Joanna heads out to a nightclub to see Kamem Joshi, a Japanese girl band.

She watches the energetic performance and sees that the largely male audience are performing almost as much as the girls on stage.

Joanna meets up with Minori, a fashion designer and internationally known artist. She wears ‘Shinori’ make up, meaning her face is white, similar to Geisha.

Joanna leaves the bustling city and travels to the Kiso Valley to walk the Nakasendo Way, an ancient route that once linked Tokyo to Kyoto.

Arriving in Kyoto at the peak of the city’s cherry blossom season, Joanna takes a tour of the city’s favourite Hanami spots by taxi.

Meanwhile, Unwin Trevaunance (Hugh Skinner) decides that he will plant his political flag by cracking down on lawlessness, particularly smuggling. Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) continues to hide her pregnancy from Ross, believing that he does not want the child.

As part of this year’s Stand Up To Cancer campaign, Bear Grylls abandons 10 celebrities on an uninhabited island in the Pacific. Alone and marooned in just their clothes and with a handful of basic tools, they must survive entirely on their own wits. After swimming ashore, Made in Chelsea star Ollie Locke attempts to lead the group through the jungle to find a safe place to sleep.

But with nightfall approaching, panic sets in. The celebrities vote comedian Dom Joly into the role of ‘El Presidente’.

In a grave rookie error, a search party containing pop star Aston Merrygold and former Labour councillor Karen Danczuk run out of water rations and are forced to send out an SOS. Ollie Locke and Lydia Bright, from TOWIE, are also dispatched to find water. Following three days without food, Dr Dawn Harper from Embarrassing Bodies is seriously worried about the group’s wellbeing.

Jeremy Kyle’s Emergency Room

16th September - 22nd September 2016

M onday

ITV1, 14.00 Jeremy Kyle will meet a whole new range of patients with some of the most shocking medical is-

sues in Britain.

Uncovering even more of the nation’s real life stories within his A&E unit studio, Jeremy speaks candidly to patients experiencing nationwide health concerns, from obesity and addiction to sexually transmitted diseases and abnormal tumours.

As in previous series, Jeremy will be joined by real doctors and nurses to assess the patients and make diagnoses. Lifting the lid on some of the nation’s life threatening and rare illnesses, all will be revealed from Jeremy Kyle’s Emergency Room.

Jeremy Kyle said: “I’m really excited about the new series. My favourite part has been meeting the inspirational people who have waked through the Emergency Room doors this time round.

A few cases that have stuck in my mind are a young woman with a lump on her wrist who came along to the ER for a diagnosis after worrying for years it could be cancerous and a man with continuous heart palpitations who feared he wouldn’t get to see his children grow up.

I’m also really pleased to see all the familiar medical faces back on screen this time round. The doctors have been working more collaboratively than ever before to try and get complex diagnoses for their patients.”

Celebrity Home Secrets ITV1, 20.00

Famous faces revisit their former homes to share memories and secrets from when they lived there. Singer and actress Sarah Harding revisits the apartments where Girls Aloud lived after their first number one success and reveals why the bathroom at her childhood home was where her dreams of stardom began.

Sarah Harding was born in 1981 and was brought up in Wraysbury, a small village outside Slough on the Heathrow flight path. This childhood home is the first visit on Sarah’s journey through her property ladder.

Even as she arrives outside the home where she grew up, she is overcome with emotion at the memory of her happy childhood. Sarah recounts how she was a bit of a ‘tom-boy’ and loved climbing trees. She even tried to ‘escape’ from her bedroom once when she’d been sent there for being naughty. She climbed out of the window by knotting her clothes together. When the makeshift ‘rope’ snapped she dropped the remaining few feet onto the patio. Luckily she was unhurt!

Even as a young girl she says she loved to ‘put on a show’ for anyone who’d watch. She even remembers having a ‘set list’ of songs she sang in the shower – which included Sheryl Crow’s ‘All I Wanna Do’. She asked her dad ‘is this how you get famous by singing in the shower?’ Her dad and brother were both musical, and as a small girl she had her own guitar and tiny amp. She bids her childhood home goodbye with fond tears – because she says ‘part of me still is that little girl.’

Summer may be over, but cheeky Frenchman Fred has been working overtime down at the First Dates restaurant to make sure the autumn and winter months are filled with love, fun, frolics and the odd faux pas. Charlie, who’s 25, is searching for his perfect ‘unicorn’ to fit his ‘hot, crazy matrix’, but with his sights set so high, he’s yet to find his holy grail. Public relations whizz Lorna seems to tick all of Charlie’s boxes, but her love life has yet to match the success of her corporate career, and when Charlie tells her that he’s looking for a unicorn, the date hangs in the balance.

Olympic Team GB bobsleigh athlete Jordan is often surrounded by fit ladies; he loves them and they love him, so he’s slightly torn over his decision to turn over a new leaf and start a relationship.

Car Wars ITV1, 21.00

“A car in the wrong hands is a weapon, a car in the wrong hands will go and kill not just one person but several people in a split second... No difference to a gun, no difference to a knife.” - Sgt Phil Patterson, head of Operation Dragoon This new three-part series for ITV focuses on the fast lane of policing, going behind the scenes with officers from Northumbria police tasked with cutting car crime.

Featuring footage from the streets of big cities and the twisting lanes of the rural beat, cameras follow officers as they undertake everything from opportunistic collars to complex planned operations as part of the force’s dedicated car crime unit Operation Dragoon.

Buckling up with traffic officers, going into detail with forensics experts, this series explores how police go about catching criminals and the lengths to which offenders go to avoid the long arm of the law.

In the first episode, traffic cop John ‘Sandy’ Sanderson and dog handler Sgt Julie Neve chase down a motorist who escapes officers’ clutches at traffic lights, before roaring through an unfinished housing estate, abandoning his car and running off, hiding under a bridge.

Sgt Julie’s dog Bruce is sent in to sniff him out. After he is arrested, Sandy reflects on the danger of the situation. He says: “It is exciting and it is fun but as you get more experienced, what’s also going through your head with the excitement is that you don’t want to put anybody in danger. In particular members of the public, your colleagues - because you need to go home in one piece. You don’t want to be going home in a box.”

Calming things down is singer-songwriter Beth Orton, who has dramatically reinvented the folktronica of her earliest work with the electronica of sixth album Kidsticks.

Also introducing Rag’n’Bone Man, a big bruiser of a man from Uckfield near Brighton, with his debut single, the tender Human, a piano ballad which manages to be both vulnerable and threatening at the same time.

Get Shirty ITV1, 22.40

“They changed the whole way the game looked, and the colours burned so bright that it could be said Admiral unleashed this monster and it couldn’t continue. By the mid-80s the factory had closed for the last time and that was it.” - John Devlin, author This new documentary for ITV charts the stratospheric rise and fall of football replica kit pioneers Admiral, from its beginnings as a maker of nuns’ knickers to its role in kick-starting a new multi-billion pound sportswear industry with their brand new strips.

Responsible for design classics and controversial kits like the infamous Coventry City brown away get-up, the Leicester firm claimed to be the first company to produce replica kits for kids to buy to look like their heroes.

The documentary features surprising anecdotes and recollections along with archive footage, illuminating a time when the now ubiquitous sportswear industry was in its infancy. Key members of the Admiral team - designer Lindsay Jelley, managing director Bert Patrick, and staff who made the kits reminisce about what happened. Players Peter Shilton and Mick Channon, who wore the kits, including the classic England World Cup ‘82 design, give their insights into what they were like to wear.

Author John Devlin and an avid shirt collector Peris Hatton give their insight into fans’ retro fascination with the designs and why they still appeal to a certain element of fans even now. John Griffin, who ran the company with Bert Patrick, describes the rather unglamorous beginnings of the company, based in Wigston, just outside Leicester. He says: “For nuns we made very large knickers, with a very large flap in the front and a special flap in the back. I was too embarrassed to look at them being made.”

The firm started making football shirts in the wake of England’s 1966 World Cup victory, hoping to capitalise on a new wave of interest in the game. Its big break came when Bert and John chanced upon Leeds United training by the premises of a mail order firm they had just pitched to. They managed to speak to legendary manager Don Revie and told him they could redesign their kit. He agreed they could pay £7,000 for the opportunity. Bert says: “And he said, ‘I’m not gonna let you touch my home shirt, but you can do anything you like with the away strip – design us an away strip,’ Which we did, ‘Design us a tracksuit,’ Which we did. I knew that once I had got Don Revie to accept change, we were on the way, and it all happened.”

The deal allowed Admiral to sell their replica kits to children - and the company became an overnight success with thousands of sales.

Bert says: “The kit was very, very successful, parents were buying them for children and they just took off overnight in terms of sales. Revie saw the success of those garments and said, ‘You can now change the home strip.’”

Ingenious Animals BBC1, 20.00 The final part in this series of surprising stories, presented by a team of wildlife experts based around the world, explores the anatomy secrets of some of the most fascinating animals on the

planet.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is in the French Alps to find out how one man’s understanding of an eagle’s physical abilities could help him to unlock its potential and save it from extinction.

Conservationist Giles Clark is in Australia, meeting a kangaroo that’s more at home climbing in the trees than hopping through the outback.

Giles is also in Kenya where the latest research is revealing how hippos could be the life force of African river systems.

Zoologist Lucy Cooke is in Costa Rica, to find out if the sloth’s laziness is the key to its success and in the UK she meets the scientists who have been investigating how one of the ocean’s most effective predators – the sea lion – catches its prey in the dark.

Meanwhile biologist Patrick Aryee discovers how a fox with super sensitive hearing can thrive in one of the harshest habitats on earth; and marine biologist Shanta Barley reveals the secrets of one of the world’s oddest looking creatures – the platypus.

Brexit: A Very British Coup?

BBC2, 21.00 On 20 February 2016, then-Prime Minister David Cameron officially set the date for the British public’s vote on whether to remain a member of the European Union. What followed was months of campaigning, debate, claims, and a political drama fought out in the press which resulted in the resignation of David Cameron and the subsequent Conservative leadership contest.

But what did the British public not witness? During this historic political event BBC Two had exclusive behind-the-scenes access to document every twist and turn of the Leave campaign and the race for the Conservative leadership that followed. Filmed from the early days until the extraordinary events after the vote the unseen footage lays bare the ambition, passion, strategy and animosity that existed and propelled the Leave campaign.

This is the real story of the campaign for Brexit as told by a host of key people as they lived and breathed it. The programme features a range of senior politicians and campaigners including Boris Johnson, Iain Duncan Smith, Nigel Farage and Matthew Elliott, as well as Remain campaigners Lord Heseltine, Alan Duncan and Will Straw.

A conspiracy thriller, Paranoid, tells the story of a female GP who is murdered in a rural children’s playground with an abundance of eyewitnesses.

When local GP Angela Benton is murdered in a children’s playground, detectives Bobby Day (Robert Glenister), Nina Suresh (Indira Varma) and Alec Wayfield (Dino Fetscher) embark on what appears to be a straightforward murder investigation.

Darkest hours of Roald Dahl ROALD Dahl’s daughter, Lucy, has told Sky News that the great man never forgot the darkness and loneliness of his own childhood when writing his beloved books.

As celebrations of the centenary of Dahl’s birth began on Wednesday, Lucy said stories of poverty, cruelty, loneliness and alienation were an essential element of her late father’s success.

“All children have darkness in their world,” she said. “They all have worries and they all have fears. Dad was able to speak to that part of a child, and almost encourage them to carry on.”

Dahl’s own father died when he was very young, and many of his best-known book characters, including those in James And The Giant Peach, Matilda and The BFG, are orphans.

Over the years, crit-

ics have said some of his books, which have long-satisfied children’s appetites for the fantastic, but also for the violent, greedy, disgusting and even disturbing, are wildly inappropriate for kids.

Roald Dahl, who died of a blood disease at the age of 72 in November 1990, found it difficult to find a UK publisher for James And The Giant Peach, which was deemed too dark and vulgar for bookshelves.

And The Witches was banned by some libraries because of its scary

and, some say, sexist content.

Even so, Roald Dahl has confounded his critics by selling over 250 million books worldwide. His legions of fans would argue that literature is just the place to explore such difficult themes.

And many of his books, such as Matilda, have been brought to the stage.

Oliver Jeffers, a children’s author and artist, said Dahl was one of the first contemporary authors to suggest there should not be such a

thing as a “safe zone” for children.

He added: “All of his stories had a little bit of darkness in them, and he’s not the first person to do that. If you look back to Grimms’ Fairy Tales, and a lot of the very old children’s books, there’s a healthy degree of death and danger and daring.

“But Dahl really made it his own, and you can tell he was entertaining himself. Even CS Lewis said anyone who spends his time writing down to children is simply wasting his time.

“And I think it was Neil Gaiman who said reading about scary things in books is actually good preparation for a real life, which is full of genuine fear, rather than the tendency parents and writers sometimes have to safeguard everything, and wrap it up in cotton wool.

“Dahl went to those places with a certain degree of bravado and humour, which was really his own.”

Roald Dahl’s stories are still as popular as

ever, and the immersive theatre experience Dinner With The Twits, at The Vaults in London, is the latest production to be staged, with 23 others currently at the development stage.

Events were held around the world on Wednesday to mark what would have been

the author’s 100th birthday, with Lucy Dahl describing it as a fitting tribute to a wonderful man.

She added: “He was an extraordinary father, but his great fear was that we’d become bored or boring people … he always kept us challenged and interested.

Rapper’s golden briefcase found A BRIEFCASE containing jewellery worth about £2.25m, stolen from Canadian rapper Drake’s tour bus, has been recovered by US police.

The bag was snatched from the Grammy-winner’s bus last week at the Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix.

Local Police Sergeant Vince Lewis said the vehicle, being used for a show featuring Drake and fellow-rapper DJ Future the Prince, was unoccupied.

But less than 24 hours later, 21-year-old stage-hand Travion King was arrested on

suspicion of theft. He was detained at Maricopa County jail, In fact, he was actually arrested on a separate matter by Arizona State University Police in Tempe, who discovered the jewellery-clad bag.

Sergeant Lewis, who said King was also identified in CCTV footage, added that the jewellery did not belong to Drake, whose representative would not comment.

Drake and Future The Prince have been co-headlining the Summer Sixteen Tour, which started in July.

Blackjack ice-cream pays off FORGET your strawberry, chocolate or vanilla ice-creams, because today’s popular choices are a million miles from these varieties.

Britons are now forking out as much as £1.1 billion a year on ice-cream - especially with the warm weather they’ve been soaking up - and they are fully entitled to go for the current ice-cream favourites.

They just happen to be Blackjack, Anchovy and Cake Batter flavours.

Hard to believe, but true!

And the latest figures show that just 14% of ice-cream products Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate - are classed as traditional favourites, according to market analyst Mintel.

Supermarket giants Morrisons and Tesco have both reported strong demand for di-

verse flavours, while leading ice-cream manufacturer Gallone’s says novelty flavours are here to stay. Catherine Gallone, managing director of the family company, said: “Blackjack, particularly, has taken everyone by surprise. It has been our best-ever seller as far as novelty flavours are concerned.

“It was only supposed to be a trial product as part of our retro range at the start of the year.

But it has established itself alongside the traditional flavours, so we’re keeping it on for good because there has been such a demand for it.”

She added: “Many adults of a certain age appreciate the taste because it’s synonymous with the one-penny Blackjack sweets, which were either loved or loathed.

“But the Blackjack ice-cream seems to have become a bit of a cult following. Customers try it out of curios-

ity - and then develop a real penchant!

“Given the aniseed taste, we definitely didn’t expect it to be popular with children.

We didn’t think young palates would be suited,

but we’ve been proved wrong. It’s as if a whole new generation has become a fan of Blackjack.”

Earlier this year, Gallone’s Blackjack won a prestigious Great Taste

Award, as well as being short-listed for other industry accolades.

Novelty tastes are here to stay, and, according to experts, Brits devour an estimated 337 million litres

of ice cream each year, which is more than five litres per person … with more than 100 flavours available.

The Ice Cream Alliance said the rise in new flavours was down to competition among manufacturers, and chief executive Zelica Carr added: “While the traditional vanilla will always remain the mainstay of the ice-cream industry, there has been a drive in recent times to introduce new flavours into the market to help differentiate the offering of some manufacturers from their competitors.

“Consumers are more likely to experiment with new flavours as they seek to broaden their taste experience.

And there has also been a resurgence in the flavours of childhood sweets.”

And, as the dessert continues to grow in popularity, experts predict that ice-cream, amounting to £1.3bn, will be sold annually by 2020.

Salud! It’s the Canarian way!

WHY do our Spanish cousins go to the pub? A new survey has revealed all: celebrating special occasions (90.9% of people), meetings with friends (90.8%) or forgetting daily stress (85.3%) are the main “excuses” why Canarians go to bars.

These figures are the result of a study of “habits of the Spaniards in the Hospitality Industry”, prepared by brewers Mahou San Miguel.

It states that in the Archipelago, there are more than 15,200 hospitality establishments, said to be “part of the everyday lives” of the public.

Chances are, you will not pull in a bar these days. Just 13.7% of respondents in the islands do - and that’s nearly two points be-

low the national 15.3% average.

The study, which aims to learn about the perception Spaniards have of bars and restaurants, shows that 82.6% of Canarians feel this sector is key to the economy.

The Archipelago respondents believe that the good weather (83.5%) is the tourists’ main attraction.

And 68.8% of Canarians believe that the supply of bars and restaurants, adapting to changing consumer tastes, has improved

in recent years. It’s a point considered, in particular, to be a positive aspect.

In the Canary Islands, 25.8% of respondents always leave a tip, compared with the 7.2% who never do. Most claim they decide according to the service received, which also depends on the quantity.

And figures indicate that the Canarians are slightly more generous than the national average, which sees 20.4% leaving tips.

MY LITTLE PONY!

By Carl Pattison

I HAVE always made it clear that I hate Tenerife Ponytails, but high on various celebs’ wish-lists for stepping out is the new “POSH PONY”.

Forget slicking back unwashed hair because the new ponytail is clean, fresh and dripping in style. From a night out, to dressing yourself up for a shopping trip, this look is easily carried out at home, and with so little effort.

You can spend more time on your hair for a more elaborate look, but a quick and easy one can look just as stunning.

If you going for the blonde model shown, wash and blow-dry your hair on a large ceramic brush to create volume.

Back-comb the top section lightly, then fasten back - not too tightly with a non-elastic band.

Smooth over the top section and secure firmly with grips. Leave out soft pieces at the front so as to look “undone”,

and back-comb the ponytail softly to create more volume.

To disguise the fastening, you can wrap around the base a small section of hair (don’t have the band on show) and you’re ready to go.

The second model also starts with clean, blowdried hair. The top is back-combed lightly to again create height, then smoothed into a side pony.

Start off your simple plait or go for a more elaborate one. A good idea is YOUTUBE. Just type in hair plaits and a whole array will appear, from simple to complicated, but in a step-by-

step method.

This fashion isn’t an excuse for not bothering with your hair, but a simple way of how your longer hair can look stylish with minimum effort.

If you don’t have the hair length, you can do what I do in the salon and “fake” your ponytail … no one will ever know!

SUITS YOU (MADAM)

By Carl Pattison

FROM top designers Armani to Kenzo … from retailers Zara to Mango. One thing that makes any woman stand out from the crowd is a suit.

And whether it’s for a special occasion or to look the part at work, suits say something, and it suggests to us that you mean business!

Not in a forceful way, of course, but in a fashion sense, a woman in a suit must have the confidence to wear it, no matter what her shape.

You can make a suit look edgy by dressing it up with a simple vest underneath, or smarten it up by adding a shirt or blouse.

A suit can be worn for any occasion, from weddings to work, or from a night out to a dinner date. There are no rules concerning how you wear one. As long as you wear it well!

Colour-wise this year, the top fashion houses chose Winter Whites and Khakis, as well as Blacks and Silver Greys.

These colour basics allow you to blend in your existing wardrobe to colour-co-ordinate any

look. Add in a sparkly top underneath your suit to take you through a night out, or a man’s dress shirt with loose tie to create a statement.

It’s your suit and you wear it as you like. But do remember those killer heels to finish off this timeless look. Yes, it’s a masculine feel, but with that feminine edge.

Glam it up or go for that classical touch … after all, nothing stands out better than a wellsuited woman!

Naked women prone to attract ‘flexible’ women

By Val Sainsbury A STUDY by psychologists at Cardiff University has revealed that women enjoy the sight of naked female bodies just as much as they do the male figures.

The specialists found that while the attention of red-blooded males was drawn to images of women, their female counterparts were far more flexible.

Some experts say this is because women are innately more “fluid” than men when it comes to their sexuality.

Another theory is that women have lower sex drives, which means they are not as excited, immediately, by seeing a naked man. They may also feel the need to look at female bodies so they can compare them with their own.

For the experiment, the university psychologists showed 57 men and women a series of sexy images and asked how attractive they found the

people featured. The volunteers then sat in front of a computer screen and watched as the pictures flashed up in pairs - one female and one male.

The images stayed on the screen for just onefifth of a second - less time than it takes to blink - before one was replaced with a faint dot.

The quicker the participant spotted the dot, the more attention he or she were thought to have been paying to the preceding picture.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, the male volunteers noticed the dots that followed the pictures of female bodies most quickly, suggesting that they found these more appealing.

But the women’s attention was drawn equally to both male and female images, even though, when asked, they said they preferred the men’s pictures.

In a second, similar experiment, a different group of women actually responded more quickly to female images.

The pictures flashed up so briefly that it is unlikely they were making a conscious decision about what to look at, admit-

ted the study experts.

And that suggests that women who consider themselves heterosexual are more fluid than men when it comes to sexuality.

Some experts claim this trait evolved to reduce tension among co-wives in early, polygamous marriages. The findings come as bisexual women are gaining more visibility in the media, with growing numbers of female celebrities discussing their same-sex relationships.

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, now married to actor Brad Pitt, once dated Japanese-American model Jenny Shimizu.

Miss Jolie, who has six children, once said that, in different circumstances, she would “probably have married Jenny”.

The participants were questioned on their sexuality three times, around the ages of 16, 22 and 28. Women were more inclined to change their mind about their preferences over this time. But men tended to describe themselves confidently as “100% heterosexual” or “100% homosexual”.

Researcher Elizabeth McClintock, from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, said that “male eroticisation” of same-sex female relationships allows women to experiment - by kissing other women at parties, for instance - without being stigmatised.

Her analysis also showed that attractive women were more likely to think of themselves as purely attracted to men.

However, a separate study from the University of Essex last year went as far as suggesting that women are never 100% heterosexual.

16th September - 22nd September 2016

Bangkok helps long-time leaders IN this year’s Direct Telecom Pool League, Division One is already starting to appear like a fight for the runners-up position as reigning champions Gaffers A look extremely strong after picking up another three points with a routine win over Bluebell A.

Boosted by the return of Bangkok Kev, Gaffers were always in control against the Bluebell boys, who were maybe distracted. They were busy cheering in all the goals Barcelona were netting against Celtic.

Gaffers’ 9-3 scoreline was about right, and a hat-tip to Captain Pugwash. He won two frames for Bluebell, despite playing on crutches!

The old boys from Phoenix Potters, who occupy second spot, added three more points this week on the road against Rewind A, who couldn’t build on their win last week.

The Los Abrigos toffee-munchers hit the road running, taking the first four frames. The next two were shared for a 5-1 score at the halfway stage.

Rewind A needed something to click, but it didn’t happen. Potters took the next two and it was game over. Rewind are obviously still miss-

ing their French Connection!

Tenerife Hammers A, still in the hunt, would love nothing more than to mount a title challenge. But they are a shadow of last season’s side.

They had a home game against Terrace Bantams. And, if it were not for the Bantams’ ability to shoot themselves in the foot, they might have come away with no points.

Hammers led 3-1 after the first session, but the score should have been the other way around as Mal and Pete managed to lose from strong, winning positions.

The following session was shared and, with the score at 5-3, Bantams sensed a chance to get back into the game, Hammers A struck first, though, and guaranteed themselves a draw.

Bantams did respond, only for Mal to lose his third frame of the night.

It was all over, and the Bantams were kicking themselves. Again!

Rewind Rewired, who have had a great start to life in the first division, will be delighted to have won a point from their tricky away trip to Dreamers A, in Los Cristianos.

Dreamers are a difficult home team to beat, and the frames were tight. The sides were evenly matched and it was neck-and-neck all night. The 2-2 score after the first set swiftly became 3-3, before Roger and then Victor edged the visitors into a 5-3 lead.

This woke up Dreamers, and captain Steve got it back to 5-4.

There was no fingerwagging from Gav as he was chinned by Tim to make it 6-4. It looked as though the points were going to the Rewired lads, but first Mark T, then Tommy scrambled home to level a fine contest.

Fifth-place Treehouse A are another team hopeful of a title challenge, and a trip to Silencio to face Exiles A was this week’s task.

The first session ended 2-2, but Treehouse A then hit top gear and rolled off six frames in a row to take the points and end the contest.

Scott was the main man, winning all three

of his games. Terrace Roosters have had a slow start to the season, but they’ve improved in recent weeks and have moved past bar-mates Bantams.

They had a home fixture against Palms Elite, who are blowing hot and cold this season … and signing every pool player available!

This week’s new signing was Harry Booze, who chipped in for the cause in what was a strange match. Palms were 4-0 up and eyeing a big win, only for Roosters to fire back.

They took the next four frames to stun Palms and leave captain Barry thinking about who else he could sign!

Dan then beat Dan for the visitors, and, when Graeme won frame 10, it was 6-4. But Roosters were not finished, mind, and with Mario and Finn scooping the last frames, a draw was the fair result.

In Division Two, James Hammers C are hoping to bounce straight back up after last season’s relegation. But they came

back down to earth with a bump as Palms Rebels took a scalp.

Rebels have struggled to get going this season, but they hit form on Tuesday night, winning a couple of early frames to boost their confidence. And with team captain Mark acting as cheer-leader, he inspired his team to a great win.

A loss for the James Hammers C meant that Picasso’s A could extend their lead at the top - and they didn’t slip up, despite making it difficult for themselves.

They had a home game against Bluebell B and soon found themselves 3-1 down after the visitors made an impressive start.

Fran wasn’t happy!

She gave the lads a good talking-to, and it did the trick as they won the next four to lead. But Bluebell were not done yet, though, as Mal beat Mark to make it 5-4. It was game-on but, unfortunately for them, Steve, Wayne and then Alex found some form, taking the final frames to clinch the win for Picasso’s A. Yates Bar are another team starting find a little form, and this week they welcomed Hoppys

7

A to Starco. Despite losing the first frame, the home side took a 3-1 lead. The next session was shared, and Hoppys were still in with a chance.

That chance didn’t last long, though, as Yates Bar moved through the gears to take the final four frames and victory.

Shout-out goes to Terry, for his seven-baller against Roly.

The Crown, earlyseason favourites, have suffered three losses to spoil their hopes. But they were on the winning trail again this week as they managed a home success against Exiles B, which keeps them seven points from the top.

Splash Bar were another team tipped to do well this season, but they have just not found a decent run of form. They travelled to Treehouse B, who made a great start, going 3-1 ahead.

Splash Bar rallied and took the next session by the same score to go level at 4-4. They then went on to take the next two frames and a win looked likely.

But Ben and Colin stood firm for Treehouse B, taking the final two frames and a point.

Tavern’s title tilt?

AT last! After 15 weeks, Division 2 of the Oasis FM Darts League looks like settling into some sort of rhythm. So much so that for the first time this campaign, the top five remained as they were.

But The Tavern leaders now hold a seven-point cushion and have a game in hand after taking all eight points from the Playgirls.

Title favourites?

Maybe!

Despite a 103 checkout by Chris, Sundowners could only tie with Naughty Nautas, while Rood, even with Luc’s second maximum, slipped up by losing 6-2 at home against Palms Pool Bar. Marilyns A have found some form from somewhere, following up last week’s draw against The Tavern with a 6-2 victory over Emerald Lounge. And Bar 180 won the tre-

bles leg to finish allsquare at Legends.

Waterfall also took the last rubber to finish at four apiece with Bar Leones, and Pas O Nadas put six past Clouseaus for a fine win.

No sign of any Division 1 rhythm as yet … unless you count Richard’s maximums, or the five minutes between Fluff ’s shots of Jagermeister!

But I suppose we could say the top seven teams are the same, only in a different order each week!

And with a 17-point gap between seventh and eighth, that will be the case for some time!

There were, however, a couple of significant results in that top seven, which has shuffled the pack a little. With Pas O Nadas not playing, Gaffers’ success at Sandys International put them back on top, although they may be disappointed to have secured just five points.

Oasis Fm Fantasy Football League

Caught in a Crossfire!

THE Premier League’s return to action after the international break provided a weekend of entertaining matches, and goals galore.

There would have been a few selection headaches for Oasis Fm Fantasy League managers, though, as injuries and suspensions came into play. I wonder how many left Sergio Aguero in their teams?

It looks as though it could well be the best Premier League season yet because more clubs appear to have strength in depth. And this was backed up by the point-

scoring team of the week, with players from across the board.

Bournemouth and Spurs led the way with two players each, and the rest came from Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Watford, West Ham, Everton and Chelsea.

And despite his hattrick, Lukaku was pipped to player of the week by Tottenham’s Son, who returned an impressive 19 points.

It’s still early days in our Fantasy League, and a decent performance can move you through the ranks. That proved to be the case this week for Warren Wilson’s Crossfire Hurricanes.

His side put in a Team of the Week performance with 84 points, which left him four points clear at the top

of the league.

But he played his “All Out Attack” boost, and had some good performances from mid-

fielders Capoue and Firmino, who scored 13 and 15 points respectively.

His ace in the hand, though, was Lukaku, who, as captain, secured him 34 points.

In the Oasis Fm Tow-

ers battle Adi Benson, who has made the early running as top presenter, is 14 points clear of Roscoe. John Zammit is just behind, followed by Chris Elkington … with Dave Scott bringing up the rear!

Tenerife up to speed CD Tenerife 1 Real Valladolid 0

By Roscoe IT was nervy and, at the whistle, there was a collective sigh of relief.

Tenerife’s first league win of the season will come as a great comfort to fans after a real backs-to-the-wall performance.

Carlos Ruiz’s strike at the end of the first half separated the two sides, but there was really little to choose between them.

I suggested last week that Tenerife were still missing their game legs, but they were sharper in Santa Cruz. The midweek cup win in Lugo obviously gave the team a boost because they were, noticeably, a yard quicker.

This may have been down to the visitors,

who were happy to sit back early on. But sensing that Tenerife were just knocking the ball around, they soon pressed on.

A smart move by Iban Salvador brought out a fine save from Dani Hernandez, and this woke up the hosts, who pressed with a bit more urgency. On the stroke of half-time, a corner from the right was swung towards the near post. Ruiz had the freedom of Santa Cruz, and his sweet header flew past Isaac.

There were no men on the post, and that was an error. It was Ruiz’s seventh goal for Tenerife only - and for a player who is so good in the air, it’s a surprisingly low return.

But it was just what Tenerife needed, and they started the second half brightly. A 25-yard free-kick from Suso, who had a fine game, tested Isaac. He scrambled across his goal-line and just about palmed the ball around the post.

Then a fine run from Choco Lozano gave him a one-on-one with Isaac. He had options to his right, but elected to chance his arm. The shot was poor, wide and brought out a furious reaction from boss Jose Marti.

On another day it may have proved costly, but Tenerife saw the game out to grab three vital points.

This weekend, Tenerife travel to face an Almeria side who have made an up-and-down start to the season.

They caught the eye a fortnight ago with a superb 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, and they

should have followed it up with a win at Girona.

They were twice ahead before letting it slip with a late goal en-route to a 3-3 draw.

Almeria are set up to attack, and Soriano likes his men to press high up the pitch. It’s great for those who want attacking football, Position

er, who had a season in Santa Cruz the year we went double-bubble.

Key man is young Nigerian Ramon Azeez, who has come through the youth ranks and has been on fire this season.

Almeria had a season to forget last time, after coming down from La Liga, but the signs are that they have worked out what they need to do. There is a nice mix of youth and experience, and, when they get going at home, they are a real handful.

They have only lost once at the Estadio de los Juegos since Valentine’s Day, and a point for Tenerife will be more than acceptable.

but not so good when it comes to getting the results.

Like the Girona game, they conceded late in the defeat at Real Oviedo. Soriano has already mixed and matched his defence, which must give Tenerife heart.

There could be a recall for Sebastian DubarbiPoints

Ceferin takes charge of European football SLOVENIAN lawyer Aleksander Ceferin has been elected new President of UEFA, European football’s governing body.

The 48-year-old head of the Slovenian federation beat Dutch rival Michael van Praag by 42 votes to 13 at an extraordinary congress in Athens.

Ceferin will now complete the remaining 2½

years of former president Michel Platini’s term, following the Frenchman’s ban from all football activities last December.

“Dear friends, thank you for your fantastic support,” said Ceferin when the result was announced.

“It’s a great honour, but also a great responsibility. It means a lot to me, and my family is very proud. And my small and beautiful Slovenia is very proud about it.

I hope one day, you will also be proud of me.”

Prior to the vote, Ceferin used his 15-minute pitch to delegates at the Grand Resort Lagonissi hotel to address concerns about his age and experience.

He described himself as a “team player” and vowed to be “the most accessible and approachable UEFA president ever”.

Van Praag, 68, likened himself to the “still rocking” Rolling Stones, say-

ing his age was his USP (unique selling point) and his experience the greatest asset.

The special election was called after Platini’s ban for taking a £1.35m payment from FIFA, the world governing body, in 2011. Despite the ban, he was allowed by FIFA’s ethics committee to address UEFA delegates as a “gesture of humanity”.

And, as expected, the former France international captain again

took the opportunity to deny any wrong-doing.

“Be assured that I have a clear conscience, that I’m convinced I did not make the slightest mistake, and that I’m continuing the legal battle,” he said.

Platini also used the platform to highlight his achievements since assuming the UEFA presidency in 2007 and to issue advice to the next head of European football.

“Continue to balance

sports realities and economic interests,” he told his successor.

One of the main challenges facing Ceferin, whose backers include Russia, is a growing divide in Europe between its richest clubs and the rest.

He has said the process which led to the Champions League reformulation was flawed, and he’s vowed to fight any attempt to set up a breakaway Super League.
