The eruption repercussion

Continued from Front A series of very small, hardly-felt tremors in the higher areas of western Tenerife on Sunday was the cue for the British papers to spread fear and concern as they claimed that Mount Teide was about to erupt.

Despite no evidence of an imminent eruption whatsoever, and with the Instituto Volcanológico de Canarias describing this as a “seismic cluster - an anomaly” and an incident that represents no cause for alarm, newspapers forewarned an immediate, biblical-style event.

The Daily Express carried a story on its website with the headline VOLCANO WARNING: Panic on Tenerife amid fears huge Mount Teide is about to BLOW. Their story said “A HUGE volcano on the island of Tenerife has sparked fears of a HUGE eruption after nearly 100 mini-earthquakes were reported in FOUR HOURS in the region.”

Its sister paper the Daily Star went one better.

Going all Nostradamus, they screamed: “Hols Brits warned huge Canary Islands volcano could blow TONIGHT! “There are fears that a huge volcano is about to spew hot molten lava after nearly 100 quakes shook the island of Tenerife in just four hours.”

Both stories, remarkably similar, fired the starting pistol for all the other newspapers. In the modern world, most paper sites are pretty much the same. Junior reporters spend their day rewriting stories from rival websites. This leads to other reporters on other sites doing the same, and the stories snowball

around the world. The Star headline is sensationalist for a reason. It invites the reader to click on the story with some outrageous claim. In the industry it is known as Clickbait. In the online world, the more clicks, the more advertising revenue.

The Express and the Star stories created immediate worry and panic. As is the norm in the modern world, most readers will have seen the headline and read a few paragraphs only.

Had they digested the entire story, the reader would surely have discovered that there were enough “ifs” and “maybes” to show the story was not as the headline suggested. But the damage had been done. Fear spread like wildfire.

Canarian Weekly had numerous emails, phone calls and tweets from people in the UK, trying to find out what was going on. Some were concerned for loved ones on holiday, while others wanted to know if it were safe to fly over the Island or stay on it.

The once-great Daily Express is now wellknown for running scare stories. These usually focus on health or weather

issues. The paper has a senior readership which is a bit more believing of what they “read in a daily national newspaper”.

While future and potential holiday-makers were trying to find out how the eruption and molten lava flow would affect their beach holiday, Tenerife residents were gobsmacked.

Instead of the reported “panic”, there was just outrage at the damage being done to the Island’s image.

Among the hundreds of messages we received, Gary Hather asked: “Is it safe to travel to Tenerife at the moment as I have booked to take 6 OAPs there for a holiday? I am worried because of their limited mobility should the volcano erupt will emergency flights be available for evacuation.” Cameron Robertson added sarcastically: “That is so unlike the British media to scaremonger and report incorrect information. So out of character for them.”

Catherine Earnshaw said: “I can’t believe people think it’s true! More scaremongering to stop tourists coming here.”

Jim Horsburgh vented his fury, saying: “Typical lying papers, start the

story by telling you one thing, but if you read the whole story by the end, it’s total crap.”

A couple of local residents went further. Robert Pearce suggested “Why hasn’t the Spanish Ambassador gone to the UK home office and demanded the arrest of the owners, editors and journalists responsible for this story?”

It was a view echoed

by Justin Muscat, who wrote: “The British Ambassador should be summoned and a formal complaint from the Spanish government should be made!”

Sam Gallagher’s comments were very common. “My wife and I are travelling to visit Tenerife over the weekend.

Websites over here are reporting earthquakes and threat of volcanic eruption, and my wife is very worried.”

In 2010, a few years before the terrorism problem, Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt was dubbed ‘Sharm el Shark’ by the UK press after a couple of incidents in the water near the beaches. Overnight, bookings were cancelled and the resort suffered great hardship.

So many people in Tenerife have worked hard to get the Island the success it is now enjoying.

And people are now worried that a few, rubbishy scare stories could undo all the great work.

Tenerife Tourism Corporation swiftly put out a statement in attempt to kill the story. It said: “A public entity under the Tenerife Island Government wants to refute the incorrect information recently published by some British media, in which it is stated that a volcanic eruption in

Tenerife is imminent.

“Such information is untrue and not based on any official reports or data. Both the Volcanology Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) and the National Geographic Institute (IGN) - official sources on this matter - report that the island experienced a series of microearthquakes, following a northeast-southwest direction, in the early hours of last Sunday.

“None of them was detected by the people of Tenerife and, as confirmed by the IGN, they were not due to any seismic activity but to low intensity tectonic movements.

“Involcan states that the tremors could be related to the hydrothermal system of the volcano, and not to a magmatic intrusion, which would, in any case, be a “common situation which should not frighten anybody”.

Tenerife, because of its volcanic origin, is monitored continuously, and any seismic activity associated with magma would be detected in the very early stages.

It is worth pointing out that the last volcanic eruption which took place on the Island happened over 100 years ago, causing no personal injuries of any kind.

Therefore, everything is as calm as usual in Tenerife; there have been no changes related to these micro-earthquakes and there are no current risks.

“Everyday life remains the same in the Island’s cities, towns and tourist areas - the situation is totally safe.

Tenerife Tourism Corporation advises obtain-

ing information exclusively from official sources, rather than from sensationalist articles, to avoid unnecessary fear and confusion.”

It wasn’t the only press release. Ermitas Moreira García, Adeje Tourism Councillor, said: “The seismic movements detected in recent days are completely within the parameters of normal activity here.

“Obviously, following the activity in El Hierro two years ago, people raise concerns, and these movements are being investigated as a matter of course.

“But there is no need whatsoever for concern, and we would say to those planning to travel here that there is no need to change their travel plans at all.”

Privately, senior politicians are furious at what they see as another attempt to cast a shadow over us. The UK media has a long-held fascination with Tenerife. Along with the Costa del Sol, our Island was a magnate for Brits in the Eighties.

Many enjoyed cheap holidays, but some came with other intentions.

The gangster element and the “get-rich-quick” scams were never far away from the Sunday tabloids.

That was a long time ago, but it seems that little has changed. Even today, the smallest of incidents makes the UK papers.

The reality of last Sunday’s ‘quakes’ is that everything is still the same.

Teide sleeps peacefully, the Government’s action plan in the event of a problem is ready to roll … and the only lava worry you have is if you buy a dodgy 1970s lamp!

Rajoy associates in trial hot-seats THE focus of Spain’s political class will shift away dramatically from the gridlocked parliament on Tuesday … to the National Court and an intriguing case of alleged bribery and fraud!

There, in Madrid, a network of businessmen and former officials, tied to caretaker Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s People’s Party, face trial for fraud.

Thirty-seven people, including former PP treasurer Luis Barcenas, are accused of running a bribery ring over at least 15 years.

Witnesses to be called, numbering around 33 include most

of the leading PP figures of Rajoy’s generation, such as former International Monetary Fund managing director Rodrigo Rato.

The trial focuses on Francisco Correa, an events’ organiser alleged to have created a web of companies to channel kickbacks from firms bidding for public contracts awarded by PP officials. The case, codenamed Gurtel, will cover the 1999-2005 pe-

Unions in protest over lack of police officers UNIONS representing the local Arona service have expressed their dissatisfaction publicly with the current levels of staffing.

According to a statement, they say they are still chronically understaffed and are calling for an immediate increase in police numbers.

They also claim that the low levels of Bobbies on the Beat is af-

fecting safety. Recently, unions said there weren’t enough police officers to cover the La Camella festivities, so Guardia Civil agents had to be drafted in - a problem which has occurred at all the big festivals this summer.

The Police also added that private security firms had been hired to ensure safety at events - with money that could have gone towards employing extra police!

Another example of under-staffing came on 10th September, during the Ricky Martin con-

cert in Las Americas.

Apparently, the chief of police had to force officers to work overtime in an attempt to control the traffic properly in the centre of town.

This left the rest of the municipality without any policemen to meet the public’s demands not good for a Saturday night!

This also had the knock-on effect of police headquarters being closed the next day, Sunday, because all the officers had completed their standard working hours.

riod, leading up to and immediately following Rajoy’s appointment as party leader in 2004.

Barcenas denies any wrong-doing, while Correa’s lawyer, Juan Antonio Gragera, says his client plans to plead innocent.

The hearing follows an eight-year investigation, which has provided the backdrop to Rajoy’s time in office.

It also became a symbol of the Spanish political class corruption.

As the trial begins, Rajoy is aiming to take office for a second term.

His main rival, Socialist leader Pedro Sanchez, was ousted by an internal revolt at the weekend, raising the chances of a deal to end the country’s nine-month political stalemate.

“This will remind Spaniards that the political crisis is still with us,” said Lluis Orriols, a political scientist at Madrid’s Carlos III University.

Rajoy lost his majority in December’s election when voters, enraged by the consequences of the economic crisis and a wave of corruption allegations against the PP, in particular,

turned to new parties like anti-austerity group Podemos.

Though Rajoy won the most seats in December, and in June’s repeat vote, he has failed to recruit enough support to win confidence.

Opponents say his ties to party graft make him unfit to govern, but Rajoy strenuously denies any wrong-doing.

The Gurtel case, the most comprehensive of more than two dozen, involving actual or former PP officials moving through the Spanish courts, will last at least three months.

Another case, which may examine the acting Prime Minister’s possible ties to a secret party slush-fund, is set for trial after the Gurtel case.

Correa and his associates are accused of misusing public money from at least six authorities, including the regional governments of Castilla y Leon and Madrid, which are two PP strongholds, and setting up a network of offshore accounts to keep the funds out of the Spanish authorities’ reach.

Investigators sent out 183 information requests to 21 countries, including Switzerland and the UK, as they traced the group’s funds.

The PP itself, and Rajoy’s former Health Minister Ana Mato, both face civil liabilities for benefiting from the scheme, though neither faces criminal charges.

The judges denied a request from one of the plaintiffs to call Rajoy as a witness, though they could still reverse that decision later in the proceedings.

Among others to be called in addition to Rato, are Senator and PP executive committee member Javier Arenas and Former Interior Ministers Jaime Mayor and Angel Acebes.

Pablo Simon, a political science professor at Madrid’s Carlos III University, said: “It will be a source of permanent irritation for Rajoy and his party.

“Still, once there is a government, they will have more chance to distance themselves from the officials or former officials who appear to be most toxic.”

Poppy Day Appeal hits the road again THE Royal British Legion, now in its 95th year, is a one-off, self-run organisation. And although it recognises other charitable groups, it is not related to them.

Its annual Poppy Day Appeal will be launched at Our Place bar in Costa del Silencio next Saturday (22nd Oct) between 3-8pm. There will be a BBQ, entertainment and a raffle, so come

along for an enjoyable afternoon, and help raise some money for a worthy, popular charity.

Boxes of poppies and collection tins, to be distributed here in the South by willing helpers, from 17th October onwards, will be collected after 13th November.

Should you require poppies or a collection tin, please contact Poppy Appeal Organiser Kelly on 922 786 777.

Kelly says: “We are aware of the current financial situation, but hope that the usual generous response

from Tenerife people will enable The Royal British Legion to continue its work, helping those ex-service personnel and their dependants in need, including those in the Canary Islands.

“With your generosity, the 2015 Poppy Appeal in South Tenerife raised 14,089.02 euros.”

Kelly adds: “Please ensure that your donation to this year’s Appeal goes into a genuine Poppy Appeal collecting box. Please give generously, and wear your poppy with pride.

“Thanking you in anticipation.”

Cabildo’s vital scheme will enhance Island TENERIFE Cabildo has approved a 136meuro project, comprising 36 Island plans, to improve roads, employment, health infrastructure and education.

The “Multi-year Strategic Framework for the Development of the Island” is a programme that will run deep into the next decade.

The 36 plans, grouped in five areas, cover spending, infrastructure, innovation and employment.

Cabildo President Carlos Alonso said it was an important move towards tackling various plans set out in the Insular Strategic Development Framework.

“It is important that the services to people in situations of dependency are there, and we offer facilities that meet the needs of all,” said Alonso as he revealed the major 136,419,582-euro investment.

Over the next 10 years, the Cabildo’s work will focus on the social infrastructure plan. This includes 15

building projects, and the expansion of centres, some of which have already been announced.

They include the new Febles Campos hospital in Santa Cruz, for elderly people with chronic diseases; a new home in La Orotava for the elderly at the Holy Trinity hospital; a new Santa Cruz home for the elderly with autism in Santa Cruz, and a new centre for the elderly in Los Cristianos.

Roads and motorway work will focus on improving the links and intersections, and the renovation of current systems.

Works include the completion of the insular ring, and its section between Santiago del Teide and El Tanque, improvements on both

major motorways, plus the links around Las Chafiras and the TF-1.

Various measures were also put in place to promote bicycle safely, and strategic points in natural, rural or urban environment.

Alonso also revealed that this is the start of a major funding drive, and he hopes to announce another investment of 419m euros in the near future, aimed at generating employment and regional development, which will be distributed evenly throughout the Island.

In addition, an important part of the approved investment will go to the Tenerife 2030 strategy, which will see the Cabildo working to improve the training of youngsters.

Europe travel agencies fall for Canary Islands THOMAS Bosl, who heads the largest network of travel agencies in Europe, says that Spain, “and especially the Canary Islands”, have been big winners in the increasinglycompetitive tourism market.

Since the financial crisis, and security concerns from competing countries such as Tunisia or Egypt, sales in the Archipelago have grown by over 30%.”

Bosl, President of the German RTK, spoke at the organisation’s annual meeting in Tenerife this week.

He also met with Cabildo President Carlos

Alonso, and Tourism chief Alberto Bernabe.

The Island hosted three days of the annual RTK event, which featured around 800 travel professionals taking part in the tourist convention. It was sponsored by the Cabildo, through Turismo de Tenerife and the Canary Islands Government.

Alonso and Bernabe both described the conference as “a resounding success”, and a convention “which has allowed us to show travel agents associated with all the possibilities that Tenerife offers, so they can then move their impressions on to their

customers”. The RTK President also stressed that the uncertainty lived by other markets such as Turkey, Egypt and Tunisia, “has been a big benefit to the Canary Islands, where sales are up 33%”.

Bosl added: “The whole agency network RTK will now be singing the praises of the Canaries.”

A delighted Alonso said: “Our strategy is not only to increase the number of German tourists coming to spend their holidays in Tenerife, but, above all, to generate additional spending in the destination.”

BRITAIN should pay medical bills for its expats living in Spain, according to José Manuel GarcíaMargallo, the country’s Foreign Minister.

García-Margallo announced his intentions at an event in Alicante, a tourism-heavy area where Britons make up a large part of some communities.

He said it was one of Spain’s aims during Brexit negotiations, set to start by next March, when Prime Minister Theresa May triggers Article 50.

“We have to reach an agreement where residents can access (Spanish) healthcare services, but covered by the United Kingdom,” said the Foreign Minister.

Cesar Sanchez, President of Alicante’s provincial council, said that around 86,000 British citizens live in the area and make up

almost half of some districts.

British citizens in Spain are now entitled to free, state-provided emergency healthcare using their EHIC (European Health Insurance Card).

But there is no guarantee that the EHIC arrangement will continue after Britain’s EU exit.

The Spanish Government appears to be proposing a compromise solution, in which healthcare would still be free for Brits living in Spain as it is for other Europeans - but the British Government would be expected to foot the bill.

The EHIC could still be available if Britain chose to accept freedom of movement and join the European Free Trade Association.

But Mrs May suggested during the Conservatives’ Annual Conference that Britain would pursue a “hard Brexit”.

This could, in theory, leave Britons with no

access to free healthcare in Spain.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson plans to meet his Spanish counterpart to try to sort out a post-Brexit deal between the countries.

Top of the Boris list of priorities is reaching an agreement on healthcare for expats living in Spain.

And he is hopeful of reaching a “Canadianstyle” agreement, in which 99% of healthcare expenses are waived.

Garcia-Margallo has not confirmed whether his plan includes expat residents paying into the country’s social security.

The Department of Health previously agreed that the problem of healthcare abroad “needs to be resolved”.

It added: “One option could be that retired UK citizens overseas would no longer have access to necessary healthcare guaranteed by the UK Government.”

Canarian drownings now adding up to 51 THE number of people drowned in the Canary Islands reached 51 between January and the end of September, according to the Spanish Federation of Lifesaving.

In the first nine months of the year the National Drowning Report, quoted by the SFL, records that 361 people died from drowning in Spain, which is 40 more than those who perished in the same 2015 period.

The report states that 57.3% of cases (207 deaths), occurred throughout the summer, between June and September, with 36 peo-

ple dying last month - 11 fewer than in the same month last year.

Of those who died in September, seven were in the Balearic Islands, and six in Cataluña.

Six communities accounted for more than 74% of deaths by drowning until September: Galicia, with 59 deaths, Andalusia (57), Canaries (51), Valencia (41), Balearic Islands (33) and Cataluña (28).

The National Drowning Report said 80.1% of the 361 drowned were male.

Secondly deaths occurred mainly in places that lacked surveillance and rescue systems, while 84.5% of the deaths occurred in places without service information, first-aid or lifeguards.

Tourists from Africa in huge demand now SEARCHING for tourism in Africa … that’s a challenge for the Canarian Government in a new, promotional offensive next year in the most western countries neighbouring us.

Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Cape Verde are all on a hit list. This was indicated by the Director General of Economic Affairs in Africa, regional executive Pablo Martin Carbajal, during a trip to Agadir.

He was part of a delegation, set up by the Cabildo and the University of La Laguna, taking part in the first Medical Tourism Fair.

The delegation’s aim

is to target citizens who want to travel here to enjoy our health services, pursue their studies, or maybe just to shop or relax.

“We have a connectivity that is still not the best, but it is light years ahead of where we were only a decade ago,” said

Carbajal. “The key is to generate demand to increase travel options here.”

The Binter airline has current connections with the countries mentioned, and it is expected that a sustained shipping-line service will connect Puerto del

Rosario, Fuerteventura, with Tarfaya.

Carbajal added: “That’s the priority.

The port of Tarfaya has great potential because it is about 60km from El Aaiun and is virtually completed, so we will soon know if there is any interested company.”

Extra treats for our star-gazers

Mature students can now sign up ADEJE’S mature students - aged between 25-45 - can register for a series of courses until 14th October, via the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria webpage.

Courses are offered

by Adeje’s Department of Education and Las Palmas University, under the social sciences range.

The courses begin on 7th November and run until next April. Classes and exams will be held at Adeje Cultural Centre.

These courses are designed for those with no previous academic title, allowing students access to a third-level education.

The existence of these and other third-level

education opportunities come courtesy of on-going agreements between Adeje Council and the Universities of La Laguna and Las Palmas.

Local Education Councillor Adolfo Alonso Ferrera said: “We have worked to bring the university not just to Adeje but to everyone in the South of the Island.

“We are helping and encouraging higher education for those of our residents who might otherwise be unable to access this level of education.”

For more information about the courses, contact the Department of Education (922 756 246) or email campus@ adeje.es.

THE skies over the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife and La Palma, are privileged places for star-gazers.

And it is precisely for this reason that both islands have specialised centres, which are attracting huge interest in the astro-tourism sector.

In Tenerife, Teide Na-

tional Park has become the preferred place for this activity because it allows excellent vision, and, of course, worldclass facilities.

To offer more options for the potential visitor, the Cabildo plans to provide extra spaces to give more pleasure for enthusiasts, as well as help generate economic activity and employment for the Island.

Tourism Minister Al-

berto Bernabe has put a project to Turismo de Tenerife, which will be forwarded to the Cabildo to understand the viability of creating a planetarium in Teide Park.

This will allow more visitor star-gazing, along with a museum enclave to give astrophysics’ information.

Bernabe stressed that the importance of launching any infrastructure on the Island

related to the stars must be built around Teide, given its high observation value.

He has already been in contact with the Institute of Astrophysics, which is behind the idea.

The Minister stressed that this project should be agreed, and worked with, other areas of the Government, to include ideas from the Environment Ministry.

A lava laugh!

THIS week has been tough for a lot of people. The UK press coverage of the very, very small quake from Sunday has been nothing short of disgraceful. I know how the industry works. But even so…

We have covered it on page one and page three, but I must mention the quote from Tenerife Tourism Minister Alberto Bernabe, a likeable chap, doing a super job.

He said: “I am 46 years old and I have never seen any lava in my life”.

Love it.

I’m still stunned how many people actually believed we were about to have an eruption, and the classic Goebbels line, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it”, has been in my head all week.

After all those shenan-

igans it’s nice to finish the week on something positive for the Island and our community.

The 10th annual Tenerife Entertainment Awards take place this Sunday afternoon at the Castillo San Miguel.

The TEAs, as they are affectionately known, are the social highlight of the year.

It’s a chance to celebrate and appreciate our fantastic entertainment scene.

It’s also the one afternoon where so many people come together.

It’s a day to catch up, to laugh, to reacquaint and, most importantly, have some fun!

The TEAs don’t just happen by accident - it’s a lot of work for some.

So if you see Chris Elkington, John Zammit, Linda Johnson and the back-room crew, give them a pat on the back.

I can tell you they deserve it.

Finally, a few changes are afoot at your favourite Tenerife-based newspaper. But that can wait until next week!

See you at the TEAs!

Adeje’s salute to brave police, killed in action ADEJE Council has paid tribute to members of the National Police, who have died while performing their duty to the public, with a commemorative monument.

It was unveiled last Sunday - Custodial Angel Day, in honour of St Michael The Archangel, patron saint of police officers, who leads God’s army against the forces of evil.

The monument, in Costa Adeje, also marks the restitution of a plaque, which was placed there in memory of Victor Manuel García González, who was shot dead in 1992 in the line of duty.

The plaque was removed during works in the area, and the new monument honours García González, extending the tribute to all members of the state security forces who have given the lives in the line of duty.

Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga offered his sincerest thoughts, saying: “On

this day, which is so significant, we are remembering and honouring members of the National Police, who have given their lives in service.

“And we honour all those members of the different security forces, who have demonstrated their commitment and generosity every hour of every day, performing the most heroic deed of all - giving their lives.”

The Mayor added: “We

want to leave a permanent reminder of our love and gratitude to all those who serve others by putting their lives on the line.

“This is more than a profession - it is a vocation! In difficult times, such as those we are now experiencing, the presence of the police and security forces is vital.

“And for that reason, symbolic acts such as this one are also a way of

passing on society’s recognition of that commitment.”

Tenerife Sur Police commissioner Carlos Ludeña Alonso said the repositioning of the plaque brought together everyone in Adeje Council, and saw the realisation of their promise to re-establish this monument, which had been removed to facilitate local works.

He added: “It honours Victor Manuel García González, the victim of a terrible and cruel assassination in the act of serving the public as a member of the police force.

“The gratitude of all the people of Adeje is reflected in the monument, which recognises the service the National Police gives to the public on a day-to-day basis.

And for that, my sincere thanks to the borough.”

Also present at the commemorative act were representatives of Adeje’s other security forces, including the Guardia Civil, Justices of the Peace, Councillors and local-based sculptor José Luis de León Torre, the artist who designed the monument.

Arona traditions, with fun, food and dancing

Universities lose their elite status SOME of the Spain’s top universities, which appeared in the world rankings last year, have slipped down in the 2016 table.

A total of 980 academic institutions worldwide were surveyed, and, of the 27 Spanish universities, 11 are in lower positions.

Spain’s leading uni, the Autonomous University of Barcelona, now ranked 163rd, went back 17 places from being No.146 on the 2015 list.

The same applies to the Pompeu Fabra, the Spanish university which went from 164th

Dorada … it’s no small beer

By Colin Kirby

WITHIN a few minutes of arriving in Arona old town, I had a sticky, homemade cake in my hand and was watching a stiltwalker negotiate a tight, back street.

Stretching the length of that same street was a row of marquees featuring honey, bread, cheese, wine, pottery, and basket-weaving.

They were all products of local artisans, continuing traditions as old as the mountains surrounding the neat Tenerife town.

The church bell-tower peeped out above the main stage in the Plaza del Cristo, administrative home to the local Council, and a statue of local saint Hermano Pedro looked on contentedly as musicians and dancers held court.

In the distance, there was more music from the Canarian timple strummers - and a bit of a commotion going on.

Following a sidestreet, I came upon a crowd watching Romeo and Juliet as their family tried to prise the lovers apart.

It was a full-bloodied, open-air performance from the Burka Teatro.

Okay, we weren’t in

to 175, and the University of Barcelona, which is now part of the group now registered between Nos. 201-250, when it was placed 174 last year.

The fourth highestranked in the country is the University of Navarra, in the 301-350 range, while the fifth, the Autonomous University of Madrid, is ranked even lower, in the 351-400 group.

Phil Baty, editor of The Times Education section, who ordered the survey, said: “Spain will have to work hard if it wants to remain part of the world elite.

“The latest figures show that Spain spends only 1.23% of its GDP on this higher education, which is the lowest amount since 2006.”

Verona, but the cobbled street and lavish costumes lent themselves easily to Shakespeare’s classic work.

As the action moved up the street to the Casa La Bodega, a sword-fight broke out, with the love-struck couple seeking refuge in the garden of the old wine house.

It seemed appropriate that they were serving free samples of local wine, as in the days of the Bard, when Malvasia wine from the Canary Islands was extremely popular in Britain!

Like so many others, I have used Arona town as a gateway to the wonderful hill walks, which are signposted from the main plaza.

And on this special day, when many doors were opened to the public, the Casino de Arona was a beauty that usually escapes most visitors.

Down in the Plaza de la Paz ,there was more

IT’S official! Dorada is now part of the biggest brewing company in the world, following ABIn Bev’s whopping, 91,769m-euro buy-out of the SAB Miller group.

It is the parent company of Compania Cerveceria Canarias, which brews Tenerife’s favourite tipple., and the newly-enlarged owners For Dorada, founded in 1939 in Santa Cruz, it is a meteoric rise. And the enlarged brewery is now across

music and whirling skirts. But in-between the dancing, nostrils were twitching as show cooking took place on the stage, with a bigscreen backdrop.

To the side, a small army of cooks were preparing something tasty, and an orderly queue filed by for a free serving of carne con papas (meat with potatoes).

Typical of the day’s excellent organisation, a supply of plastic knives, forks, and serviettes was available.

Talking of organisation, a big thumbsup to Arona Council

for the posters and signs, printed in Spanish, English, and German.

The free, hourly busservice, from Playa de Las Americas and Los Cristianos, was also most welcome. And, spot-on time-wise, there was even a medical volunteer on hand to ensure that frail passengers were helped down the coach steps.

It really was a top day of enjoyment for all, without losing sight of the Council’s intention to showcase traditions of the past, and share the pride maintained

by Arona.

the road from its startup site, both served by a soft-water spring.

The pride is shared by its Gran Canaria depot in Las Palmas, where Tropical is brewed and cans of both flagship beers are filled.

Here are a few figures to consider as you sip your beer. The Santa Cruz depot makes six mammoth brews, and it fills 700,000 bottles a day.

It would be cheeky to say the company reaches the parts other beers cannot reach, but Dorada brewery has 13,000 outlets across the seven Canary Islands.

Tourism diet is so healthy for Island

Another time, another space PEOPLE in Tenerife will need a super telescope to see Starmus 2017, the successful mix of space explorers, rock stars.

That’s because this year, scientists are forsaking Tenerife for Trondheim, Norway.

It’s big cultural loss because Garik Israelian, founder and driving force, spoke of wanting to attract more participants.

He said he was finding it difficult to arrange dates in advance when fitting in with tourism needs and dif-

ferent administrative bodies. Big names were attracted for the first event in 2011, at the Magma Centre, when astronauts and cosmonauts such as Neil Armstrong and Alexei Leonov rubbed shoulders with musicians like Brian May and Tangerine Dream.

The event expanded to include more scientists like Stephen Hawking in the second and third edition. And he will feature again at next year’s Norway staging, from 18th to 23rd June.

There has always been a strong, economic edge to the gathering, with delegates paying for a package of ac-

commodation and bigname forums, as well as trips to the Tenerife and La Palma observatories.

Tenerife has strong, historic connections with star-gazing, thanks to the clear skies - and guitarist May completing his PHD in astronomy here after taking decades out to ride the rock wave with Queen.

And the Cabildo is negotiating with Starmus to return to Tenerife in 2018, promising to make more funds available.

Tourism Councillor Alberto Bernabé said: “The Islands have no other event with such global repercussions.”

Café blast injures around 90 people AT least 90 people were injured - five of them seriously - in a gas-cylinder explosion in a café in VelezMalaga, southern Spain.

The blast, at about 5pm at La Bohemia café, happened during a festival in the bustling town and left

most people with cuts and bruises.

Video footage posted on social media showed people fleeing a fire inside the cafe, with the street outside covered in debris. Some 57 people were taken to hospital for treatment.

El Pais newspaper said a cook at the cafe was

able to alert customers to a fire in the kitchen, which gave most of them enough time to escape serious injury.

Happily, none of the injuries is believed to be life-threatening.

Velez-Malaga, home to around 75,000 people, is 23 miles from Malaga itself.

TOURISM and travellers continue to bring home the bacon, and nearly 20 billion euros has flooded into the country in the first seven months of the year because of these two sectors.

Officially, the grand sum of 19,947bn euros was produced, which was a healthy 2.1% more than a year ago, according to Bank of Spain data.

All tourism-related revenues totalled 29,433bn

euros from January to July this year – an increase of more than 6.6% from last year.

This figure takes into account secondary incomes such as food-anddrink productions and sales.

In July, the tourism sector recorded a 4.673bneuro income, representing a 0.4% increase, yearon-year, compared with July 2015. Total tourism and travel sector revenue reached 6.752bn euros

in July, which was 5.5% more than last year’s related month.

“Spending by British tourists in Spain, which is very high, is adding good performances to lots of sectors,” said the bank’s spokesperson.

The UK remains the main source market of tourists to Spain, with over 12.4m visitors from January to August. This accounted for 23.6% of total tourists received throughout Spain.

More males with HIV than women THE number of new HIV infections declared in the Canary Islands last year was 268 against 295 in 2014 and 248 in 2013.

The new data also shows that seven out of 10 are men, and that most new infections occurred to those aged 30 and 39. The Canary Islands now has a fatality rate of 1.5%.

The Canarian Government’s Ministry of Health announced the findings as it unveiled the “Zero HIV Canarias” campaign.

This is a new prevention-and-control campaign of HIV awareness, also aimed at reducing the number of other sexually-transmitted infections. The aim is to increase awareness against these infections, reduce its incidences and promote early diagnosis.According to the Public Health report, most new cases arise from men having unprotected sex with other men. Also, 40% of detected cases are diagnosed too late.

Wild bears starve in summer’s heat

AN exceptionally dry summer, and a poor fruit harvest, has left Spain’s wild brown-bear population suffering malnutrition.

Images captured in the Cantabrian mountains last week showed some of the bears were extremely thin and showed symptoms of cachexia, a wasting disease.

The Fund for the Pro-

tection of Wild Animals (Fapas), which monitors Spain’s population of brown bears, said it was “extremely concerned” with the animals’ condition.

“Climatic conditions have caused complications for the bears this year, altering the natural life cycles so important to their survival,” said a Fapas statement.

“A very dry summer has led to a poor and late harvest in fruits, such as cherries and wild berries, which

the bears rely on.”

As a result, the naturally-shy animals have been forced to leave the isolated mountain valleys, where they thrive, and forage in areas populated by humans.

“It means there are more reports of damaged bee-hives as hungry bears seek out honey,” pointed out the statement, which adds that they are also more likely to raid fruit orchards.

“The depopulation of rural mountain areas

provides bears with a magnificent opportunity to forage in the old orchards of abandoned farms, where apple, pear, plum and hazelnut trees still produce fruit,” said Fapas.

There are some 280 brown bears in Spain, mainly in forest-rich Asturias and the Pyrenees mountains on the French border, according to conservation group Fundacion Oso Pardo (“Brown Bear Foundation”).

But their presence on farms can antagonise

locals, and last month a brown bear was found shot in the chest at the edge of the Muniellos Nature Reserve, in the northern region of Asturias.

Male bears weigh as much as 350kg (770lbs) and females 200kg, and they can easily outrun a human. Rearing up, they stand 7ft tall more than 2m.

Tragically, should the bears not be sufficiently fattened up before their winter hibernation, they may not survive.

Pine-tree pests will get the axe TENERIFE has an interesting problem …

Teide National Park has too many Canarian pine trees as a result of a successful re-population scheme a few decades ago.

At the moment, pine trees cover 10,000 hectares, spread all over the Island, and they are now causing problems.

One example is in Fasnia town, where pine trees are preventing the growth of other species - and they are also a prime fire risk!

Cabildo Environment Minister Jose Antonio Valbuena said: “In Tenerife, we have a density of 10,000 hectares of Canarian pine tree, which is largely

down to a replanting initiative in the Sixties and Seventies.

Ideally, we need to remove some 5,000 hectares, which is a density of about 510,000

tons of pine. The harm caused by this excess means we have not been able to grow in the low forest regions, and this has a direct link to problems for

the other vegetation and animals.”

Among the benefits of the pine-tree removals, Valbuena hinted that it will “help reduce the burden of forest fires”.

The Environment Minister also said the remains of the pines would be used for Cabildo projects, so there would be no wastage.

Rural Women pave the way!

ADEJE plays host to the eighth annual Tenerife Rural Women’s meeting on Thursday (13th Oct) in the CDTCA (Costa Adeje Centre for Tourism Development).

The event, which starts at 10am, will be presented by Environment Councillor Esther Rivero Vargas and Equality Councillor Carmen Lucía Rodríguez del Toro.

“We are underlining the valuable contribution women are making in farming and rural work,” they said.

“It is not an easy choice, and it is precisely with them in mind that we celebrate International Rural Women’s Day, every October. “These days, it is increasingly common to see women leading the farm decision-making and work, and between 20-30 % of agricultural concerns are headed up by women.

“Given this data, it is only correct that the work of these women, who are playing a fundamental role in sustainability in our society, is recognised. They are

also making progress in a sector that, traditionally, treated women unequally.”

In the Canaries, the Rural Development Programme (2014-2020) gives special attention to women in farms, and the Islands have also introduced ‘Reticom’, a shared-ownership registry which gives females shared rights and grants in the farm.

Both initiatives are working to promote business-women and

equality in agricultural settings.

The event is directed, in particular, at rural women based in South Tenerife, and anyone interested in taking part can sign up by phoning the Agricultural section in Guía de Isora on 922 447 925.

The conference will include talks from experts in the field, tastings, a declaration for International Rural Women’s Day and a visit to an Adeje diary.

House prices are going up

Ad boy, 12, told: ‘That’ll be 100,000 euros please’ A BOY of 12, from Torrevieja, who spent an astonishing 100,000 euros in advertising fees by accident, has had the bill waived by Google officials.

The search engine said Jose Javier made an unintended and ‘costly mistake’ by trying to make his brass band famous online.

The Spanish lad had created an account with AdWords, a Google payper-click service, which puts adverts above search results, and on other websites.

The customer gives his credit-card details and pays, only when someone clicks on the link.

Jose, whose parents had set him up with an account, supplied his banking details because he thought he was actually going to earn money from ads on his home-made website.

A Google spokeswoman said: “We realised it was all a mistake and that he did it without thinking. A 12-year-old boy doesn’t want to start spending 100,000 euros!”

Jose’s relieved mother, Inma Quesada, said her son wanted to buy instruments for his band, Los Salerosos, for whom he plays the trumpet.

The debt came to light when the youngster’s parents received a call from the bank to alert them about the whopping charges.

HOUSING prices grew 3.8% in the Canary Islands in the second quarter, compared with the same three months in 2015. And, so far, the cumulative increase is 3.5% according to the IMIE index.

In Spain, the residential housing market was up just 0.8% for the last quarter, compared with 1.5% and 1% in the last two. Madrid (8%) and the Canaries (8%) lead the price rises in the country so far this year.

However not all regions are seeing a rise.

Murcia (-4.9%), Cantabria (-4.1%), Navarra (-3.3%) and Castilla y León (-3.1%) are all struggling.

From the 2007 highs, the cumulative price decline has reached 40.9% as a country average. It is worse in La Rioja (-55.9%), Castilla-La Mancha (-52.1%) and Navarra (-50.7 %).

Ex-Spanish king is accused of bribery JUAN Carlos I, the former king of Spain, has refused to entertain allegations that he tried to bribe an anti-corruption group last December - to save his daughter’s reputation.

The group’s accusations led to Princess Cristina becoming the first member of the royal family to face a criminal trial earlier this year.

The allegations spread quickly through the Spanish media last week after El Mundo newspaper published the contents of a taped conversation, purportedly of the group’s leader discussing an offer from the ex-king of two million euros (£1.74m) in cash to drop the case.

A man identified as Miguel Bernad, of the Manos Limpias (Clean Hands) organisation, is heard in the recording describing an approach by an intermediary, allegedly represent-

ing King Juan Carlos.

He asked the group to withdraw its accusations of tax fraud against the Princess in exchange for the payment.

Mr Bernad alleged: “He made me an offer as follows - two million euros and, on top of that, all the expenses there may have been in connection with the trial … all in cash.”

The voice - reported to be that of Mr Bernad - said the alleged go-between he spoke to was Íñigo Cotoner, the Marquis of Mondéjar, whose father was a counsellor to King Juan Carlos in the Seventies and Eighties.

“He made the proposal on behalf of the emeritus king … Juan Carlos,”, confirmed the male voice to his surprised go-between, apparently Virginia López-Negrete.

She was the lawyer who led the private prosecution by Manos Limpias against the Princess at the trial, which ran from January to June.

Cristina was put on trial, along with 16 other defendants, for her

alleged role in an embezzlement and money-laundering network.

Prosecutors claim it was built around a

company part-owned by her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, who the public prosecutor wants jailed for 19.5

years. Princess Cristina stands accused only by Manos Limpias, which asked for an eight-year prison sentence. The

judge has yet to deliver her verdict.

The recorded conversation, dated 10th December 2015, suggests that King Juan was, allegedly, willing to pay for his daughter to avoid having to testify and being judged, if Manos Limpias admitted it could not prove its case at the start of the trial.

Allegedly, Ms LópezNegrete, is heard saying: “My answer is clear: absolutely not.

Neither you nor I are in this for money. What a disgrace they are, what sons of bitches.”

Mr Bernad, 74, has been in jail since July while being investigated over accusations of extortion for taking money from individuals and companies, which Manos Limpias had accused of wrong-doing.

According to Mr Bernad, Manos Limpias is a union representing more than 5,000 civil servants, although the exact nature of the litigious organisation’s funding had been the subject of speculation for years.

A Sainthood for murdered priest

THE French priest murdered by Islamic extremists in his Normandy church in July, could become a saint, rapidly!

Father Jacques Hamel, in his eighties, was killed one Sunday during a morning Mass at Saint-Etienne-duRouvray’s Catholic church in July.

At a service to reopen the church for the first time since the attack, parishioners were told that Pope Francis had put Father Hamel on a fast-track Canonisation process.

Archbishop of Rouen Dominique Lebrun,

who presided over a special ceremony to restore the sacred nature of the church,

said: “Pope Francis has waived the five-year delay before a Sainthood process can begin.”

For someone to become a saint, a miracle usually needs to have been declared. But

that stipulation can be set aside if there is evidence that the individual is a martyr.

Father Hamel was murdered by 19-yearold Adel Kermiche and his accomplice, Abdelmalik Petitjean, who were then shot dead by police as they tried to leave, using nuns as human shields.

French prosecutors said the pair were guided by Islamic State commanders in Syria.

On Sunday, several Muslims joined in a public gathering to mark the re-opening of the church after a local imam called for “a day of brotherhood”.

The Saint-Etiennedu-Rouvray attack took place 12 days af-

ter the truck attack in Nice, in which 84 people were killed by a Tunisian man who pledged allegiance to IS. Incidentally, the Catholic Church believes that anyone can become a saint, whether it be a priest, a married women, a single man or a religious sister, etc.

The Catholic Church calls all men and women, whatever their state in life, to seek holiness and sainthood.

This idea has been given more attention recently and, perhaps, most significantly, during release of the Lumen Gentium document, which outlines what the Catholic Church terms the Universal Call to Holiness.

Speed up judicial system, insists the High Court chief

ANTONIO Doreste, President of the High Court of Canarias (TSJC), has warned that the judicial system needs speeding up, despite “some improvement” in the last year or so.

Doreste feels that the 2015 Canarian courts showed a slight improvement in “case” speed, but believes that more resources and deeper reforms must be carried out.

In a rare public speech at the opening of the judicial year, the President spoke of low resolution rates, legal dependence and delays in management in the Archipelago.

Doreste played down the matter of 100,000 unresolved issues last year because they were deemed to be common crimes, rather than the serious ones which take priority.

Often, police had failed to find the perpetrators, which, he said, was not necessarily through the ineffectiveness of Security forces.

He referred to the causes that prevent justice functioning properly, including the lack of human and material resources.

Regarding the Canarian Government, he recognised its efforts made in this area, although the infrastructure was still “wanting”.

He also believes there are important issues, such as the judicial building in Santa Cruz, which needs upgrading.

Doreste also spoke of the problems caused by the difficulty of coordinating the three administrations relying on the judicial bodies: the State, the Autonomous Community and the General Council of the Judiciary.

In his view, the operation would be more flexible if it depended on one only. But he praised the independent work of the prosecutors and state security forces against corruption, which shows

“the good health of our legal system”.

Doreste said the fact that both the former accused people of the political establishment, and even belonging to the same party as his superiors, “is something that shows the independence, effectiveness and health of our repressive system”, even when investigating judges.

He also stressed the exemplary effect of generating cases of political corruption.

Doreste added that the independence of judges was “clearly demonstrated and constitutionally protected”.

But prosecutors and security forces depended on the executive power, so it had an impact on their work against corruption.

Angry Police are still awaiting pay THE union representing Arona Local Police officers continues to show its displeasure at the Mayor’s decision relating to security and pay.

It wants the immediate hiring of private security guards for fiestas in the municipality - and also the money owed to its members.

Alfredo Rodriguez, spokesman for the police trade union, has brought up the discontent of Arona’s Local Police staff, saying: “The inability of this ‘government’ to face an entrenched problem that comes from way back is wrong.

“The Mayor, in meet-

ings before taking office, predicted that in just four months, he would solve the Local Police problems.

“This included the payment of compensation (overtime) for the evenings, holidays and weekends. But after 18 months in office, it has not been paid, so the workers refused from May to perform more overtime.”

He added: “Also, they have not received their money from before he took office, and we have not been given the promised bullet-proof vests, or even received new uniforms.”

A clearly-annoyed

Rodriguez admitted: “This has resulted in the total lack of effective local police, and, consequently, unsafe situations. These are police officers and not a private security personnel. They should be used as such.”

On 27th September, the union called for the resignation of Local Police head Carolina Reveron, and Rodriguez said: “This situation corresponds to the ineffective work of the Police leader.

“This situation is a political power decision with interests of self-preservation, based on the fear of breaking pacts.”

‘No way Jose’ BRITAIN has been invited by Spain to share Gibraltar sovereignty, which would enable the territory to remain in the European Union.

But Gibraltar’s chief minister has rejected the proposal, telling the UK Government: “No way, Jose”.

The rocky headland on Spain’s southern tip has long been the subject of a bitter row between London and Madrid, which wants to reclaim the area.

Calls for joint sovereignty have increased following Brexit, with Spain arguing that the outcrop, ceded to Britain in 1713, should not miss out on EU benefits because of the UK’s decision.

Spain’s UN ambassador Roman Oyarzun said he wanted the matter to be discussed.

“Spain has formally invited the United Kingdom to open negotiations to reach an agreement, so that the mandates of European Union treaties keep being applied in Gibraltar,” he told a UN committee.

Gibraltar has a flourishing economy, based on the financial services sector, tourism and online gaming.

It depends heavily on its access to the EU’s single market, and more than 95% of voters in the territory chose to remain in the EU. Under the plan, Gi-

braltarians would be able to keep their British nationality, and they would also be able to gain Spanish citizenship.

The idea of joint sovereignty is not new.

A proposal was once agreed by Britain and Spain in 2002, but the idea was binned after Gibraltarians rejected it in a referendum.

History repeated itself in Tuesday’s committee meeting, when Chief Minister Fabian Picardo rejected the latest plans outright.

Picardo pointed to past rows with Spain that affected the land border, which many Spaniards cross every day to work in the British territory.

In a 2013 argument over disputed waters, for instance, Spain upped border checks, creating hours-long traffic jams and forcing the European Commission to intervene to ease the crisis.

“When it comes to the question of whether we will transfer all or any part of our sovereignty to Spain, our answer will never change,” said Picardo.

“It is simple: ‘No way, Jose.’ You will never get your hands on our Rock. Never!”

Peter Wilson, the UK’s deputy permanent representative at the UN, said Britain would not enter any negotiations with which Gibraltar was not content.

An overseas boom for tourism sector THE number of international tourists arriving in the Canary Islands rose 11.1% in August, against the same month last year.

Official arrivals reached 1,112,212, according to data released by the National Statistics Institute (INE).

The figures are again better than last year and that was a recording-breaking year! The first eight months of 2016 has seen 8,620,409 arrivals, which is an unbelievable 13% more than a year ago, according to the latest Survey

of Tourist Movements Frontur Fronteras, released by the INE. Brits again led the way in August, supplying 41.2% of all visitors, followed by Germany, which accounted for 20.8%.

In August, throughout Spain, there were a total of 10.1 million international visitors, which was 5.8% more than in the same 2015 month.

The highest percentage of them, 24.7%, went to Cataluña, the main destination of those travellers, followed by the Balearic Islands, with 22.7%; Andalucia, (13.5%); Valencia, (11.5%) and, fifth, the Canaries (11%).

The festival of loyalty MUSIC, dance, parades and traditions mark the first weekend of Adeje’s fiestas, the full programme of events beginning tonight (Friday) at 10pm with Adeje Siglo XX! (21st Century Adeje).

The borough, loyal to a promise more than 300 years old, celebrates the Patronal Festival in honour of the Virgin of the Incarnation, Santa Úrsula, and San Sebastián.

And this year’s celebrations are a real reflection of the modern and cosmopolitan centre the town has become in recent times.

Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga said: “We are 121 nationalities, living side by side in peace, respect and in solidarity.

“Adeje has evolved, in particular in recent decades, into a growing but united community.

“Our most valuable resource - the people - has helped us move in the right direction and today, we are both a modern and historic tourist destination.”

The Adeje Siglo XX! (21st Century Adeje) features the seven representative queens of Adeje borough’s neighbourhoods.

Adeje doesn’t actually elect a local “queen”, and all the representatives are feted as equal.

They are Milagros Bragado, from Las Nieves, María Azul Frachia Villaurreta (Los Olivos), Noelia Toledo López (Armeñime), Naomi Negreen Galind (La Caleta), Jocelin Ramos Mesa (Tijoco-La Hoya), Rosario Ana Fernández (Fañabé) and Andrea Rochina González (Adeje Casco).

The gala will feature distinct aspects of life in modern Adeje: culture, conviviality, sport, the business community, and women. There will be a nod to the innovation and progress in the borough, as well as an audio-visual presentation, all in a futuristic setting, with music to follow from Toque Latino.

Tomorrow (Saturday), activities begin at 1.30pm in the Calle Grande with a patronal music concert, featuring the Canarian Com-

mand band and the Military Brass Band Nº2 Brylcan XVI. The traditional parade, with floats from the various neighbourhoods, begins at 8.30pm.

A street party in the Plaza de España takes place after the parade, with music from the Maracaibo and Maquinaria bands.

The borough celebrates the Virgin of the Incarnation on Sunday, with the raising of the borough flag, Holy Mass at 6.30pm, and a procession through the main street of the town, with a light and sound show.

Poland women protest over abortion ban bid THOUSANDS upon thousands of Polish women staged a protest strike on Monday in Warsaw against proposals for a total ban on abortions there.

And anti-abortion, solidarity protests were held around the country as angry women marched through the streets wearing black, as a sign of mourning

R.I.P Stephen Crane

Stephen Crane passed away recently, leaving his wife, four daughters and a son. Stephen was born in Wales but came to Tenerife around 15 years ago and had the furniture shop Antiquites, in Las Chafiras. He then moved the shop to overlook the motorway and changed the name to Muebles 4 You.

for their reproductive rights.

The demonstration was immediately named “Black Monday” after women who opposed the ban stayed away from work and refused to do domestic chores.

If the law goes through - it has cleared one parliamentary hurdle so far - it will make Poland’s abortion laws as restrictive as those in two other places in Europe: Malta and the Vatican.

Women found to have had abortions would be punished with a fiveyear jail term, while doctors found to have assisted in an abortion would also be liable for imprisonment.

Abortion is, mostly, already banned in Poland, the current exceptions being: *Where the woman’s life is in danger *Where there is a risk of serious and irrevers-

ible damage to the foetus *Where the pregnancy is as a result of rape or incest, which must be confirmed by a prosecutor Critics say the tightening of the law could mean women who have a miscarriage are also investigated, on suspicion of having had the pregnancy terminated deliberately - at early stages of pregnancy, miscarriages and abortions have indistinguishable symptoms.

One protester said: “We are saying ‘enough is enough’ over what is happening, to what the government, the Church and the socalled pro-life organisations are planning for women.

“They want to introduce an anti-abortion law, which, in many cases, will mean women being sentenced to death. It will take away the sense of security

they have - the treatment options available when pregnancy puts their lives or health in danger.”

A separate bill seeks to curb in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), allowing just one embryo to be fertilised at any one time, and banning the practice of freezing embryos.

But the Catholic Church is among those who support the total ban. The Polish Bishops’ Conference asked Catholics to pray for “the conscience and the light of the Holy Spirit on all Poles who protect human life from conception to natural death”.

The country’s Foreign Minister was another high-profile critic of the protests. Witold Waszczykowski told Associated Press: “We expect serious debate on questions of life, death and birth.

“We do not expect happenings, dressing in

costumes and creating artificial problems.”

While pro-choice activists marched in black and tweeted pictures of themselves wearing that colour, anti-abortion activists chose white for the colour of their counter-protests.

People in Berlin, Brussels, Dusseldorf and Belfast held rallies supporting the Polish prochoice movement.

The only European countries with stricter laws than those of Poland’s current legislation are Ireland, Andorra, Liechtenstein, San Marino and Northern Ireland (a part of the UK whose abortion law differs from England, Scotland and Wales) Even by conservative estimates, there are far more illegal abortions in Poland than legal ones: between 10,000 and 150,000, compared with about 1,000 or 2,000 legal terminations.

Reality star Kim’s ordeal by gunmen KIM Kardashian West, the American TV reality star, was robbed at gunpoint just after midnight on Monday at a luxury apartment she rented in Paris, said police.

At least two masked men - members of a fivestrong gang dressed as police officers - helped themselves to a box containing jewellery, worth up to five million euros, and a 4m-euro ring.

The concierge was forced by the intruders to show them the house, where they bound Kim with duct tape in the bathroom and gagged her after putting a gun to her head. She was then dumped in the bath.

Her spokeswoman said she was “badly shaken but physically unharmed”.

The mother-of-two, a household name through the reality series Keeping up with the Kardashians, flew out of a Paris airport aboard a private jet later that day.

French media said the thieves, wearing police jackets, escaped on bicycles!

The star’s spokeswoman, Ina Treciokas, confirmed that the robbery had been carried out by masked men with guns.

Police sources told the Associated Press news agency they were seeking five assailants, two of whom had forced their way into the house.

Kim’s husband, rapper Kanye West, was on stage at the Meadows

Music and Arts Festival in New York at the time of the robbery. He abruptly ended his set, telling fans: “I’m sorry, family emergency.

I have to stop the show.”

The reality star had stayed there a couple of years ago, before her marriage to West. Their two children, North and Saint, were in New York at the time.

A police spokesman said: “The loss amounts to several million euros, mostly jewellery. The total amount is still being evaluated.”

British entertainer James Corden, now a US television host, criticised those making light of the incident in a tweet, saying: “People making jokes about Kim Kardashian tonight would do well to remember that she’s a mother, a daughter, a wife, a friend. Be nice or shut up.”

She was in Paris for the city’s Fashion Week with her mother, Kris Jenner, and her sister Kendall, and it not known whether some of the jewellery was borrowed for the event.

Kim has a regular bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, but he was not with her at the time. Last week, she was approached by a prankster who tried to kiss her bottom. But he was stopped by a bodyguard.

Kardashian West first rose to fame as Paris Hilton’s friend and stylist, and went on to appear in her own reality programme about her family.

Young Jihadi suspects held SPAIN’S National Police have arrested two people in Madrid for the glorification of Jihadi terrorism, threats and self-indoctrination for terrorist purposes

Officers from the Provincial Intelligence Brigade, held the pair on Thursday morning in Madrid as part of “GRIN” Operation, for, allegedly, being responsible for various offences involving the glorification of terrorism, threats and selfindoctrination for terrorist purposes.

The arrested individuals are: K.E.I.S., aged 27, of Spanish nationality, and 18-year-old O.S.A.A, aged 18 and also a Spaniard.

The investigation began within the police

framework of monitoring activities on radicalised individuals of a Jihadi nature.

The Provincial Intelligence Brigade had been carrying it out for some time when it became aware of a trip by K.E.I.S. to Turkey, and his subsequent return to Spain a few days later, across the TurkishHungarian border.

K.E.I.S. had already been involved in a number of acts which demonstrated his Islamist radicalism at a secondary school, where he studied a computing course.

During the minute’s silence, organised at the school in solidarity with the victims of the Paris attacks on November 13th 2015, he shouted out loud various phrases justifying the action, which had a strong impact on his colleagues and teaching staff.

Also at the same

school, he justified publicly on several occasions two deadly attacks carried out by DAESH, even stating that the Islamic State was the best State for a Muslim to live in.

He also told his student friends that he intended to fight in the DAESH ranks.

He was also seen by his teachers and fellow students watching DAESH propaganda films during class colleagues he later threatened to kill by saying that, one day, he would come back to school with a gun and kill everyone, He issued various other threats along similar lines.

In addition, on an almost-daily basis, K.E.I.S. visited a public library, where he browsed numerous websites with Jihadi content on its internet.

He also created various profiles “to hide his

identity” on a number of social media networks, through which he spread and glorified the ideas, activities and news of certain Jihadi terrorist organisations, especially DAESH. He also supported people serving sentences for Jihadi terrorist offences, criticised moderate Muslims and, publicly, expressed his wish for Spain to become an Islamic Emirate in the future.

The second individual arrested, 18-yearold O.S.A.A. - also of Spanish nationality - is thought to be responsible for various offences involving the glorification of Jihadi terrorism.

Both individuals are being held by the Spanish Police Force while awaiting execution of the search warrant issued by the Spanish National High Court.

And the operation remains ongoing.

Colombian chief fights no-peace votes by voters VOTERS in Colombia have rejected a peace deal with FARC rebels after a referendum result which shocked millions, with 50.2% of the people against it.

The arrangement was signed last week by President Juan Manuel Santos and FARC leader Timoleon Jimenez after 52 years of unrest - and nearly four years of negotiations! But the deal needed to be ratified by Colombians to be enforced.

A surprised President Santos, addressing the nation, said he accepted the result but would continue working to achieve peace.

Colombians were asked to endorse or reject the peace agreement in a vote on Sunday.

Yes campaigners had the backing of President Santos, as well as a wide array of politicians in Colombia and abroad, including UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

But there was also a vocal campaign for a No vote, led by former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

Polls conducted ahead of Sunday’s vote suggested a comfortable win for Yes campaigners. Surprisingly, though, 50.2% of voters rejected the agreement, compared with 49.8% who were in favour.

The slim difference, with 98.98% of the votes counted, was less than 54,000 votes out of almost 13 million ballots.

Curiously, turn-out was low, with fewer than 38% of eligible people casting their votes.

Colombia was divided regionally, most of the outlying provinces voting in favour of the agreement, with those nearer the capital and inland opposing them.

In Choco, one of the provinces hardest hit by the conflict, 80% of voters backed the deal. And in Bojaya town, where at least 119 people were killed when a church was hit by FARC mortar bombs, 96% of residents voted Yes. Colombia’s capital, Bogota, was also in favour, with 56% voting Yes, and the Vaupes, province, in the east of the country, also registered strong

support for the deal, with 78% voting Yes. But in the eastern province of Casanare, where farmers and landowners have been extorted by the FARC and other illegal groups for years, 71.1 % voted against the deal.

And in Antioquia, home state of ex-President Uribe, 62% rejected the deal.

Most of those who voted No believed the peace agreement was too lenient, letting the rebels “get away with murder”.

Yet under the agreement, special courts would have been created to try crimes committed during the conflict.

They also baulked at the government’s plan to pay demobilised FARC rebels a monthly stipend and to offer financial help to those wanting to start a business.

No voters said this amounted to a reward for criminal behaviour, while honest citizens were left to struggle financially.

Many also said that they simply did not trust the rebels to keep their promise to lay down arms for good.

They pointed to previous peace negotiations which failed when the rebels took advantage of a lull in fighting to regroup and rearm - evidence, they maintained, that the FARC had broken their word before.

President Santos, who said the bilateral ceasefire between government forces and the FARC would remain in place, has told his negotiators to travel to Cuba to consult the rebel leaders on the next move.

President Santos has promised: “I will continue the search for peace until the last moment of my mandate, because that’s the way to leave a better country to our children. I won’t give up.”

Likewise, the FARC leader known as Timochenko, also says the rebels remained committed to securing an end to the conflict.

“The FARC reiterates its disposition to use only words as a weapon to build toward the future,” he said after the result.

“Count on us - peace will triumph!”

Sir Chris Hoy:

200mph At Le Mans

Don't Miss...

Sunday 9th October, BBC2, 21.00 After the 2012 Olympics in London, track cyclist Sir Chris Hoy retired, having become the first British Olympian to win six gold medals. But having spent 20 years at the top of his sport, Chris isn’t going to settle for a quiet life. Instead he swaps two wheels for four to pursue his boyhood dream of competing in the world’s toughest endurance motor race, the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Sir Chris Hoy: 200MPH at Le Mans follows Chris as he attempts to prove himself on the race track as he has in the velodrome. By early 2016 he’s poised to join the highly successful Le Mans race team - Greaves Motorsport.

But Chris’s hopes of a podium finish are crushed when the team has to withdraw their car. With less than three months until race day, he finds a seat with a rookie team who have never raced at Le Mans before, and Chris has to learn a new car, battle with its teething troubles, and work with a team whose operation is a world away from British Cycling’s obsessive attention to detail.

As Le Mans 2016 begins in torrential rain, competitors are reminded of the danger: 22 drivers have died since it began in 1923 and cars crash out with frightening regularity. It’s a huge task for Chris’ team to even make it through the 24 hours, and when technical troubles arise less than an hour into the race, there’s a good chance that he won’t even get on the track.

Will Chris and his team succeed in the ultimate test of man and machine?

The Nazi Olympics Sunday 9th October, More 4, 20:00 The story of the Berlin 1936 Olympic Games and how the Nazis worked together with the International Olympic Committee to transform a small sports event into the modern Olympics. The grand themes and controversial issues from the 1936 Games have continued to this day. Featuring never-before-seen archive footage and new research, this documentary reveals how the Olympics as we have come to know them were shaped by the collaboration of interests between Hitler and ambitious Olympic officials. After initial distrust, the IOC and the Nazis found common ground in turning the 1936 Games into the biggest Olympic show the world had ever seen. To this aim, Hitler officially promised that Jews would not be excluded from Germany’s Olympic team, and the IOC decided not to control it. At the same time, western democracies began doubting the morality of an Olympic Games hosted by the Nazi regime. But the president of the American Olympic Committee, Avery Brundage, successfully discredited the boycott movement as a ‘Jewish conspiracy’, and a first large-scale Olympic boycott was avoided. For the period of the Nazi Games, the atmosphere of peaceful harmony in Berlin that was praised by many visitors was actually a result of a draconian deployment of police power. The Gestapo took extensive measures to ensure that there would be no signs of political protest. Everything ran smoothly and Hitler delivered what he had promised to the IOC: the greatest Games the world had ever seen.

Boy George’s 1970s: Save Me From Suburbia BBC2, 21.30

Boy George journeys back to his formative years for this documentary, the centrepiece of BBC Music’s My Generation season looking at the 1970s.

He looks back to September 1982 when an unknown George Alan O’Dowd - aka Boy George - appeared on the BBC’s Top Of The Pops with his group Culture Club, singing Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? The next day, the British press went wild. Totally bewildered by his appearance, they asked ‘Was he a boy or a girl?’ in hand-wringing horror.

British teens on the other hand loved it and sent it to Number 1 in the charts; the rest of the world would soon follow resulting in Number 1’s in 23 countries. To date, Boy George is a Brit and Grammy Award-winning artist who has sold over 100 million singles and in excess of 50 million albums. He is also the author of two bestselling autobiographies, a fashion designer, a Broadway producer and, arguably, single-handedly the public figure who did most to usher in a new era of sexual tolerance in Britain at a widely accepted.

In this film George recalls, revisits and assesses how the 1970s moulded the person This was his musical, social and sexual coming of age, when he discovered the pow setting about turning that persona into a popstar. Set against a backdrop of social d sexual repression – the seventies was also conversely the decade that revelled in co the world glam rock, disco and punk… and the young George O’Dowd was at the bir Boy George says: “I think of the ‘70s as being this glorious decade where I discovere these amazing things… punk rock, electro music, fashion, all of that. And yeah of co to the ‘70s, the rubbish, the strikes, the poverty and I’d get chased and confronted f a teenager. I didn’t have any time for misery I was just having a great time with my Bowie, Bolan, dressing up and going out, I think of it as the last bonkers decade, and The documentary includes contributions from contemporaries like Martin Degville Polaris (Animal Nightlife), DJ Princess Julia and pop star Marilyn this is, as Geor decade”, and it totally and completely shaped him. My Generation is a year-long sea music, launching with the 1950s back in April.

Wild West: America’s Great Frontier

7th October - 13th October 2016

S unday

BBC2, 20.00

There is nowhere in America more spectacular or more varied than the great Wild West, home to extraordinary desert landscapes like the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Monument Valley, giant redwood forests and extreme coastlines that have been forged over millennia.

In this landmark BBC Two series, narrated by actor James Norton, we reveal how these extraordinary worlds were carved out, what makes them so unique and the elemental forces governing the lives of the creatures and people that have settled there.

This iconic land is famed for its myths and Hollywood legends; but remains one of the toughest places to live, where communities have become ghost towns, and today people and wildlife with extraordinary resilience are embracing a demanding, ever-changing landscape.

Filmed over two years, across eight different American states and Mexico’s Baja peninsula, the series uses the latest technology from land, sea and air to bring this legendary part of the world to life.

This opening episode guides viewers through desert heartlands, travelling from the cold, high deserts of Nevada to the giant cactus-studded lands of Arizona and the scorching Mojave Desert in California. It will show how some of America’s most iconic animals and plants, like mustangs and coyotes, desert tortoises and giant cactuses, have all learned to survive here. Their unique way of life reveals how timing, patience, cunning tactics and sheer bravery can make all the difference in this land where food and water are always in short supply.

Gino’s Italian Escape: Hidden Italy

7th October - 13th October 2016

M onday

ITV1, 20.00

This little known region sits in the middle of Italy, bordered by Lazio, Marche, Umbria and the Adriatic sea. It’s a world away from modern Italy - one third of it is home to three national parks, making it one of the most rural of the Italian states…

It’s so far off the beaten track; it only opened an airport at the turn of this century. Fishing and farming are what defines this region, so that’s exactly what Gino experiences first hand.

Starting in the coastal town of Pescara, Gino though first starts his food odyssey learning about the region’s unique contribution to the culinary landscape – Chitarra pasta, named after the guitar like contraption that shapes the pasta. He learns from Giovanni Minicuci how to make this iconic pasta by using a 200 year old technique.

Gino then travels along the historic Trabocchi coast line where he learns from 25 year old Tomasso Vert how his family of fishermen are keeping another ancient tradition alive. Fishing from the centuries old Trabocchi.

He is inspired to make a pasta dish using the pasta he made earlier in front of a stunning backdrop of the Trabocchi.

Gino then travels deep into the mountainous terrain, where the locals make their living working the land, and meets Mauro, a farmer who also trains the local breed of sheep dog. While Gino tries his hand at herding sheep in this idyllic setting, he learns about the dangers these shepherds face. After trying the simple shepherd snack of Arrosticini, Gino is inspired to create his own Mediterranean BBQ meal. Salute!

In this week’s episode of Morgana Robinson’s The Agency we follow Vincent’s assistant Rachel as she chaperones global megastar (and relentless chatterbox) Adele through a press junket for her latest album.

Back at Mann Management, Vincent is dealing with a terrified Danny Dyer who has been the victim of a cyber crime. Worried that some ‘sensitive’ material might be leaked, Vincent suggests that Danny might want to pursue a ‘political cause’ to create some positive PR. Unfortunately this backfires when Danny misinterprets Vincent’s advice to get involved with the badger cull. Meanwhile Natalie Cassidy is attempting to give something back to the community by setting up a fame school to try and teach local kids everything she knows about show business. But she is thwarted by a rival star…

Convinced they’ve seen the back of Grant (Robert Webb), Jenny (Fay Ripley) raises the subject of Harry’s will again but Pete (John Thomson) has no fight left in him. When Chloe announces that she no longer wants to call him Dad, it’s like a knife to his heart.

Pete’s unsure as to what matters anymore. Fancying herself as a bit of a property guru, Tina (Leanne Best) channels her inner Kirsty Allsop in the hope of finding Adam (James Nesbitt) his dream home. After a series of viewings, Tina cuts through the estate agent’s flannel and views a house that is already under offer.

Using her charm Adam’s offer is accepted. But is Tina really that keen to see Adam move out?

New to the freelance world, Karen (Hermione Norris) is intrigued when a potential backer approaches her. The meeting with handsome young media entrepreneur, Justin (Tom Bateman) goes better than expected as he agrees to invest with Karen as the major shareholder and Karen’s plan to go it alone pays off in more ways than one.

Creative culinary competition. The nation’s top chefs are competing for the ultimate prize - the chance to cook at a banquet held at the Palace of Westminster. It is the fish course and two chefs, Tommy and Mini, have very similar ingredients - both are cooking mackerel. But Mini is trying an original beetroot sorbet while Tommy is using wild woodruff and oyster leaf from his own garden. Chris Archer has chosen the king of the sea, turbot, but there is controversy in the kitchen when he reveals he is discarding a precious oyster!

The veteran judge is not impressed... And there is laughter when Mini tries a wholly original way of shaping his beetroot sorbet - the chefs are glad they don’t have to do his laundry. The beauty of Tommy’s presentation wows his competitors as he creates woodruff dew drops.

Finally, when it comes to the judging, one chef struggles to contain his emotions - he can’t believe what he is hearing.

Later Live... with Jools Holland BBC2, 22:00 Jools Holland presents hot, legendary and relatively unknown artists in performance. Joining Jools are The Pretenders, led by the inimitable Chrissie Hynde. They play tracks from their upcoming ninth studio album Alone, their first since 2008. Joining them will be the record’s producer, Dan ‘The Black Keys’ Auerbach. Two black British artists are making their TV debuts on the show tonight. Londoner Samm Henshaw is shaping up to be a new star of British rock and soul.

South London unsigned singer and rapper Ray BLK has grown out of the British grime scene and has been getting a lot of attention for her soulful and honest R&B tracks. Also making their debut on the show are Empire of the Sun, the collaboration between Luke Steele, of alternative rock act The Sleepy Jackson, and Nick Littlemore, of electronic dance outfit Pnau. They showcase a couple of tracks from their much anticipated third album Two Vines. And chatting to Jools is Paul Rodgers, original member of Free and Bad Company.

Ambulance BBC1, 21:00

An unprecedented insight into the London Ambulance Service, from the highly-pressurised control room to the crews on the streets, Ambulance provides an honest 360-degree snapshot of their daily dilemmas and pressures.

The service brace themselves for a demanding weekend shift. In Brixton, paramedic Rich helps a man who’s out of control and lashing out in a nightclub after taking a drug overdose. In east London, a man who’s travelled all the way in from Essex to eat at his favourite kebab house has been assaulted. In the control centre, it’s fun and games from nine months ago that’s causing the phone to ring - five babies are being delivered on the phone tonight. As the pubs begin to close on Saturday night, the violence is escalating. The ambulance dispatchers are forced to make tough calls about who gets an ambulance quickest and who will have wait - when a stabbing comes in they have to divert a crew from a six-year-old who’s fallen from a bunk bed.

The Bikers question whether the best chicken dish in the world might actually be at our doorstep!

They head to Bromsgrove for some of the best jerk chicken in Britain, into Birmingham for an authentic Birmingham balti and down into the city of London to experience Korean beak to feet eating with homemade Korean moonshine to wash it all down. They end the series at WOMAD, where they make their piri piri chicken for the crowds before storming the Taste the World stage to regale the audience with tales of their travels while cooking one chicken and one egg dish. The audience decides which comes first - the chicken or the egg (dish!) - before the boys lead them in a final celebratory chicken dance.

The Aberfan Young Wives’ Club

7th October - 13th October 2016

W ednesday

ITV1, 21.00

“You just, you wanted to do something, and you thought well, what could you do? And it was this helplessness that took over in a way. All of a sudden, somebody would blow a whistle and there was silence… And it was nothing. You couldn’t hear a bird even. And you were hoping they’d get somebody out alive, but by that time about two o’clock, there was no sign of anybody then. I think by that time, they’d realised.” - Gloria Davies, whose cousin was killed in the disaster This new documentary marks the 50th anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, in which the catastrophic collapse of a colliery spoil tip killed 116 children and 28 adults in the village school and surrounding houses.

Featuring testimony from those affected by the tragedy, which happened on October 21, 1966, alongside extensive archive footage of the disaster and its aftermath, the documentary provides a vivid insight into the lives of South Wales families at the time, and how the disaster affected the whole community.

The documentary looks into the emotional impact on the community, that followed more than 40,000 cubic metres of accumulated rock and shale suddenly starting to slide downhill in the form of slurry, engulfing the village and inundating classrooms at Pantglas Junior School, where young children and teachers died either from impact or suffocation.

The victims’ relatives, including mothers of children who died - some speaking publicly for the first time - reveal how their spirit endured and the village quietly rebuilt itself over the years that followed, focusing in particular on a group of local women who came together in the wake of the tragedy and have met each week for the last half-century - the Aberfan Young Wives.

Marilyn Brown, whose daughter Janette, aged ten, died in the disaster, says: “[It] had been reported a long time ago, to say that the water was coming down. Nothing was done about it, because I think you get a bit blase about things sometimes… ‘Oh, that won’t come down, that won’t happen.’ The chap who worked on the top, he had warned people about it, because he knew all about it.”

That morning, parents around the village saw their young children out of the door, off to the local primary school. Joyce Hughes, whose daughter Annette, aged nine, died, says: “She was one of these girls you’ve got to push to get ready for school, and I said to her, ‘Come on, you’re going to miss the bus.’ I said, ‘Go on now, quick now.’ so she was running down the street. She got to the top of the street and she waved. And that was the last I saw of her.”

The Missing BBC1, 21.00

It’s late 2014 and a young British woman stumbles through the streets of Eckhausen in Germany and collapses. Her name is Alice Webster - and she was abducted from the same town 11 years ago.

Her return sends shock waves through the tight-knit local community, as her family are thrown into turmoil. As the search for the abductor gathers pace, Alice also appears to hold vital clues to the whereabouts of a second missing girl, Sophie Giroux, whose disappearance was investigated back in 2003 by French detective Julien Baptiste.

In present day, Alice’s parents Sam and Gemma are barely speaking, whilst Alice’s brother, Matthew, has become violent and withdrawn.

Meanwhile Julien is in Iraq, following a clue that he believes is key to finding the person who abducted the girls.

Exposure: Islam’s Non-Believers ITV1, 22.40 “I remember saying to my mum, ‘I don’t think I believe in God any more,’ And her saying, ‘You can’t tell anybody else because they’ll kill you, we are obliged to kill ex-Muslims,’ and that it would put me at extreme risk if anybody else was to find out, so that conversation ended there.” - Sadia, a former Muslim This new documentary in the Exposure current affairs strand investigates the lives of ex-Muslims, who face extreme discrimination, ostracism, psychological abuse and violence as a result of leaving Islam.

Featuring contributions from British and Bangladeshi ex-Muslims, Islam’s Non-Believers paints a vivid picture of the dangers facing those who renounce their faith. Some are at risk of suicide, or self-harm, or have been physically and psychologically abused by their closest family members. Most are terrified of being shunned by their own family and friends if their true beliefs become known.

Made by award-winning film-maker Deeyah Khan, who also directed the acclaimed Jihad - A British Story and Banaz: An Honour Killing for ITV, the programme finds that many young British ex-Muslims live in the shadows hiding their true beliefs, running huge risks if they ‘come out’ as atheists within their religious communities. Some of those who speak in the programme have asked to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals.

The film follows the Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain, a volunteer support group led by Iranian-born activist Maryam Namazie which supports ex-Muslims, often referred to as apostates or unbelievers, both in the UK and abroad. Maryam says: “They see us as people who are troublemakers, deviants, apostates and blasphemers… There is nothing, nothing more intolerant than religion.”

One ex-Muslim, Sadia, talks about her brother Razaa, who killed himself. She says it was partly because he felt sidelined and misunderstood by his community all his life, one reason being his atheism. She says: “I feel like when you leave Islam, your intelligence gets attacked. They make you feel like you’re stupid for making such a decision, which he felt like his entire life. Leaving Islam, becoming an ex-Muslim, all of a sudden you feel like you’re dirty, and you become unimportant within the community.”

Dr Omer El-Hamdoon from the Muslim Association of Britain says people can leave the religion of their own free will and should not be punished. But he says it is not surprising that those who do leave are shunned. He says: “The Muslim community is a community based on religion, so if a person chooses to stop being a Muslim they can’t really expect that the Muslim community is still going to say to them, ‘You are still part of our community.’”

The programme also reports on how the danger for ex-Muslims who live in Islamic countries can be even higher. Apostasy carries the death penalty in a dozen Islamic countries. Atheists face a double threat persecution by their own government, and the risk of murder at the hands of Islamist gangs.

Tony Robinson sets off on a curious walk across the ancient and turbulent kingdom of Northumbria.

In the seventh century, at the height of the Dark Ages, the rule of Northumbria stretched from Edinburgh to York: a mighty power in post-Roman Britain. But this was a land where a battle was raging for the souls of the people. Over five days, from Melrose in the Scottish Borders to Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, Tony is on the trail of one of Northumbria’s greatest sons: Saint Cuthbert. Through the Tweed Valley and across the Cheviot Hills, it’s a journey through a murky history laden with myth. But by investigating the communities, power bases and landscape of seventh-century Northumbria, Tony aims to understand the pagan land in which Cuthbert spread his simple brand of Celtic Christianity. The height of Cuthbert’s career was as prior of the holy island of Lindisfarne.

“We’ve had some great donations, including one from Callao Learning School,” said Liz. “The children raised 650 euros from their spon-

sored walk, which will go towards supporting the under-privileged children and their families, and thanks to Ibex Insurance, Los Cristianos, for their 250 euros.

“Tui Travel’s mega raffle brought in a magnificent 2,500 euros, and we are delighted to have received a staggering 4,000 euros from the Paloma Golf Beach Society.

“A special thank-you to Treasurer Jo, Secretary Mike and all the people involved in supporting the fund-raising events throughout the year to achieve this amazing amount.

“All these funds will enable Helping Hands to purchase the so-important school books again this year for Cen-

tro Guaidyl, and support the youngsters with further education and academy courses to give them a good start in life.

“We cannot thank Paloma Beach Golf Society enough for their collective support.”

Liz added: “It’s all absolutely fabulous news, and it means we are able to support even more needy children on the Island.

To date, Helping Hands has completed the project at Crevo Rehabilitation, in La Laguna, donating a further 8,000 euros - 18,000 in total - to purchase special computers and necessities for the centre, including the renovation of its swimming pool.

Summer donations included 2,000 euros for the government’s disaster fund following the collapsed building in Los Cristianos. And the same sum went to Centro Guaidyl to pay for the children’s Summer Activities, school books and necessities for each child. Help-

ing Hands also funded the children’s summer activities and fun days out.

There was also a 1,000euro donation to the

CEE Disabled School in Guargacho to purchase educational equipment.

Proud Liz stressed: “We continue to support Guaidyl, the CEE and

the Crevo Rehabilitation Centre, and we will be supporting the Eidith foundation, as well as individual families who are in difficulties.

“Funds raised at our future events will be given to help all these mentioned.

“A huge thanks to all the kind people who take time to come along to events and functions.

You really are making a difference to the people who are in need.

“And an extra-special thanks to all the people who put their hearts and souls into enabling Helping Hands to champion so many causes. I am proud of each and every one of them who help me.”

THE Macmillan Cancer Support coffee morning has become a key, fund-raising date on the UK calendar. And a few thousand miles could hardly deter the charitable spirit of Tenerifebased supporters.

On the morning of 30th September, spoons stirred in at least a couple of Los Cristianos bars.

At Zizzi’s, in the Apolo Centre, Tenerife Golden Girls put on a spread of yummy, home-made cakes to accompany the morning cuppas.

From chocolate delight to nutty-covered fruit cake, they all proved popular, and, along with a raffle of donated prizes, supporters raised 511.50 euros for the funds.

Over at The Devon Arms, behind the old beach, home-baking again tempted coffeedrinkers to eat for the

cause as well. Brown soda bread and quiches led the way as they racked up a total of 575 euros.

Take a bow everyone involved in these events - and those taking part elsewhere on the Island for this worthy cause.

Cats Welfare news

Be aware of kittens THERE has always been a stray-cat problem in Tenerife, but most people will have seen a genuine decline from, say, 10 years ago.

Last year alone, Cats’ Welfare neutered 721 cats, and the number has been increasing every year as the charity grows.

This has been made possible by our small band of volunteers, and those who donate to our charity.

There are still many kittens born on our streets every year.

Mother cats, who give birth outside, hide their new-borns instinctively in inaccessible places, such as underneath buildings or in garages, in narrow places like storm drains, and in covered places such as caves or cactus undergrowth.

Tiny kittens don’t miaow. They have been programmed by Mother Nature not to make a sound when their mother isn’t there, so you may not even know you have a feral kitten litter nearby.

If you are feeding a stray cat who eats hurriedly and then rushes away, she is likely

to have kittens.

The best thing to do is to observe or follow her, discreetly, and, from a distance, to see where she goes.

Don’t go stamping hot on her heels, because she might panic and then, later on, move the kittens to a place where you won’t find them.

Kittens emerge from hiding only when they are around five weeks’ old. Of course, you might stumble upon a nest by accident.

Not many people have the time and skills to devote to taming wild kittens, especially not

for the older ones, which require more time.

The ideal time to begin the taming process is when the kittens are just 4-6 weeks, so it is imperative that if you see a nest of small kittens, you alert us to them quickly.

If you find a cat with kittens, and you take no action, she will get pregnant again and have another litter, quite quickly after the first one.

Survivors from the first litter will start to breed when they are just five months old. Cats return to a familiar place to

Accion Del Sol news

have their babies, and so will their daughters.

By the end of the year, there could be 20plus feral cats, and the problem will grow and grow.

Cats’ Welfare home as many of the small kittens as possible, and neuter and return as many of the older kittens and cats that we have time and resources to trap.

If you know about a colony of cats you feel aren’t neutered, please contact us at www.catswelfare-tenerife.com Forward planning There’s nothing like planning ahead! This

year, please consider a reverse advent calendar of donations for the cats and kittens in our care. The idea is that you put a little cat-type gift each day of December into a box or basket, and donate it to our cause at the end of the month.

A tin of food, a little toy etc. It doesn’t have to be expensive - just a little something for each day. We can collect from you at the end of December, if you aren’t able to drop it off at our charity shop.

Table-top sale Tomorrow (Saturday),

from 10am-7pm, we are holding a tabletop sale in the Adeje and Las Chafiras Koala Sur pet shops, where beautiful, cat-inspired handicrafts, made by our clever volunteers, will be on sale.

Please pop along, donate some food and/ or buy a little gift. It’s all in a good cause, and will help us to help the cats and kittens, here on the Island.

Designed for you On Sunday week (16th Oct), from 2-8pm, at the The Palms Bar, Golf del Sur, we will be holding a fabulous Designer sale of dresses, tops, suits, shoes etc, for women, men, children and babies, so there will be something for everyone.

Gucci, Coast, Monsoon, Yves, Saint Laurent, Burberry and Hugo Boss are just some of the big names we have.

Your donations Can you donate anything to help us raise funds? Items can be dropped into our San Blas shop in Golf del Sur (behind HiperDino).

It is open seven days a week (10am-6pm) Saturdays from 11am5pm.

If you don’t have transport, or have bulky items such as furniture and household effects to donate, please ring Mark on 636 590 557

Our heartbreak for Timo MONDAY was a very sad day at the refuge. The gorgeous Timo, who was rescued

by Marion and who has been by her side for 10 years - helping and overseeing the day-to-day running of the refuge - lost his battle with cancer.

He had to help children, peccable

a willingness educate the with his imtemperament

and patience, and abundant love for everyone who crossed his path. The refuge will be a much sadder place without such a special dog.

Keep it clean Please can we remind everyone to help keep our beautiful Island free of dog mess? There are hefty fines for those who don’t abide by the rules. It takes a few seconds only to help keep our public areas safe and clean for our children and tourists.

Your help wanted Do contact the refuge on 922 778 630 if you can help us in any way.

We are always in need of tinned dog food for our older dogs, blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys and leads.

Here we are We are situated at exit 52 on the north-bound TF1, which is after the San Isidro exit. The refuge is directly next to ITER, the Eolica Parque, where the giant windmills are.

Opening hours We are open from 2-5pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday from 1-4pm, or please contact us at teneriffa@aktiontier. org

Jamie’s chorizo choker JAMIE Oliver, the outspoken TV chef, has had the kitchen sink thrown at him on Twitter over his “version” of paella, the traditional Spanish dish.

Oliver, never short of a comment or two about some foods, uploaded a photo of his supposedly-classic rice dish, but it featured chorizo - a definite nono in Spain.

Jamie, star of 30-Minute Meals, tweeted: “Good Spanish food doesn’t get much bet-

ter than paella. My version combines chicken thighs and chorizo,” which promptly sparked a backlash.

Twitter users tweeted fish and chips recipes, satirically, using aubergines, duck, beef and ravioli.

Others were more sinister, likening Oliver to a “food terrorist” and telling him to “stick to chicken nuggets”.

Less venomous commenters said that while the inclusion of chorizo meant the recipe could not be described as paella, it still qualified as “rice and stuff ”.

Outraged Spanish internet maestros com-

pared his ‘work’ to a botched restoration of a famous fresco of Christ, while others suggested their own

takes on classic dishes, including aubergine fish and chips, and croissants with gravy.

What constitutes pa-

ella is a sensitive topic even in Spain. People from Valencia, where the dish originated, consider the inclusion

of any form of meat other than fish a heresy, never mind a spicy, smoked, paprika sausage.

Swedish Corner More than just meatballs!

The Swedish Corner is situated in the heart of Los Cristianos and only a stone’s throw from the beach. They have a 3-course special between 125pm for only 10 euros.

Serving modern classics with a Swedish twist including meatballs, Gravalax, possibly the best homemade burgers in Tenerife and new to the menu; hake and salmon fish stew, with horse radish alioli, not forgetting the extensive wine list to accompany it all.

Sweet miracle of sour cream BY now, most of us will surely know how bad sugar is for us.

But for those with a sweet tooth, cutting down on the white stuff can be easier said than done.

Help may be at hand, however, in the rather unusual form of artichoke tea…

That’s because artichokes contain a natural substance called “cynarin”, which has the curious knack of binding to the sweet receptors on our tongues without actually activating them.

The cynarin can stay bound for some time.

But when we next drink or eat, the cyna-

rin is removed and our tongue’s sweet receptors are fired up again.

This sudden re-activation of the receptors causes a “phantom”, sweet-taste message to our brain, meaning even things like water, lemon juice or sour cream can taste sweet.

This phenomenon could be a real help to those struggling to cut down on sweet drinks and food.

A quick cup of artichoke tea before a meal will help increase its sweetness without adding any extra calories or tooth-rotting sugar - but still hitting the sweet spot.

Natur Boutique’s Organic Artichoke Tea is now available nationwide in Holland and Barrett stores and from www.naturboutique.co.uk

The luxury of leather

DO YOU - OR DON’T YOU?

By Carl Pattison

By Miruna Voicu

WHEN it comes down to your hair, do you or don’t you colour your white hairs? And at what stage and at what age do you start, or stop, the colouring?

THERE are many choices to make when it comes to choosing a sofa, including style, look, comfort and, of course, the material.

If those white strands appear in your early years, most men or women tend to cover them, although people seem to not bother about the odd one or two.

Many people begin with their own, natural colour when they have a few shiny hairs, but this can look false if the colour becomes too dark for your skin tone.

Gradually lifting the tone is the best way forward, because, when you lose the colour in your hair, you lose it in your skin, too!

If your hair is only around 10% white, then you can get away with a few low-lites to blend away those tell-tale, first hairs.

Any more than 20% and you’re talking a full colour, and this will need to be touched up every 6-8 weeks. As the white advances, a lighter colour, or colours, should be introduced, or you’ll need to have it done every few weeks.

This can be too much for some people, so using a lighter, full colour with some softer hi-lites - blends the natural shade into the artificial one. This is more complimentary than a fullblock colour.

Natural hair doesn’t have a uniform colour.

It is made up of varying tones, so it makes sense to add various colours when blending in white hair.

As you will note, I’m using the word “white” … you may say “grey”, but there’s no such hair colour, unless it’s artificial.

The white hairs, mixed with the darker colour, create a grey look.

Think about how you mix paint: black mixed with white makes grey!

It’s a big decision to cover up your white hairs, but, at the end of the day, it’s how YOU feel, and not how someone else makes you feel.

Choose wisely!

IN AND OUT OF FASHION

By Carl Pattison “IF it’s trendy, then it’s out of style,” said one of the Kings of Style - Karl Lagerfeld (he of Chanel fame).

Yet what makes something fashionable, especially for you guys, and when do you stop wearing what’s “in”?

First of all, style should be your own. It shouldn’t be dictated by what’s in the stores. You can be guided by them, but, at the end of the day, you make your own style choice.

Guys, don’t run into a

fashion store and grab what they are pushing at you. Look between the lines and find - and make up - your own, personal style.

If the store is full of one certain look, then avoid it. You know it’s going to be seen everywhere, and then reduced in the next sale because it has passed its sell-by date.

If something is “in”, then, very soon, it will be “out”. Stick to key pieces and don’t go all-out on one, particular look.

You can throw in a high-fashion item, but

keep it to one piece.

Don’t go all-out on a trend which won’t last more than a few months.

Stores want you to spend on clothing, then ditch it for the next, hottest look. But think twice before shelling out on items that aren’t going to be seen in six months.

Your clothes speak volumes about you. Make them wearable, this year and next, by not getting too caught up in what’s hot - and what’s not!

Leather has always been a valued commodity, and highly-desired. It is a statement of status and style, and it has a classy look with its rich feel and smell.

Modern tanning processes have made leather resistant to cracking, peeling or sagging. It’s tough yet flexible and is, nowadays, available in so many colours!

Leather furniture breathes, which means that it dissipates heat and cold quickly, so it’s always comfortable to

sit on. It also absorbs and releases moisture, so it feels less clammy than materials like vinyl, or plastic-based imitations.

Both leather and imitation leather can be healthy choices because they do not trap dust or allergens, as fabric can.

Imitation leathers certainly have their place in interior design, since they are nice, cheap and easy to maintain.

Most of these sofas can be cleaned with mild soap, but, obviously, any harsh chemicals should be avoided because they may damage the material.

But, if your budget permits, a leather sofa can be a great investment because it will last up to four times longer than a fabric version.

Leather often ages well, looking better and feeling more com-

fortable with time. So, if you are want a sofa that will be around a long time, it makes sense to choose natural leather!

Choose a neutral tone and introduce colour through replaceable items such as cushions, rugs and pictures.

In this way, you might change the whole look of your room at some point without changing the main furniture.

Otherwise, make a feature out of your sofas and choose daringly-colourful leather for your living-room’s main furniture!

A wide range of colours is available, and the sofas can be made to your specification at no extra cost. It’ is also possible to reupholster your existing sofa in leather, giving it a whole new lease of life for years to come.

All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo.

Oasis reunion on, says Liam SUPERSTAR Britpop group Oasis could be reforming, following the longstanding animosity between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.

The reunion depends on whether they can genuinely settle their differences. Liam says he is ready for an Oasis reunion, but he won’t go “cap in hand” to Noel to make it happen.

The band’s ex-frontman says the band should never have split up in 2009 and that his “bags are packed” if the opportunity arises to get the

group together again.

He told Sky News: “If it happens tomorrow,

Lady Gaga’s Super show

I’m ready - my bags are packed. If it happens in a year, I’m still ready; if

it happens in 10 years, I’m still ready.

“But there’ll be no

cap in the hand and no banjo, you know what I mean? A little f****** skinny, stringy dog outside his house going, ‘please sir, I need a f****** band, mate’.

“If it happens, it happens; if it doesn’t, it f****** doesn’t! We move on.”

Liam, 44, speaking at the launch of Supersonic, a new documentary film about the band, could not resist a dig at his older brother, who wasn’t there for the screening.

“He won’t be here,” said Liam. “He’s in one of his really, really, really, big houses, probably eating tofu, while having a f****** face-peel ain’t that right, man of the people?”

Yet Liam, wearing his trademark parka jacket, admitted to missing his older brother, “without a doubt”.

But he also accused him of “ruining” his Oasis career, saying: “He just wanted to do this thing, there is a lot of angst there. For someone to ruin my Oasis career to further his own … we have got to get past that a little bit.”

Supersonic, made by the team behind awardwinning documentaries Amy and Senna, charts the formation and rise of Oasis.

Following the group through the early Nineties, the film includes commentary from family and unseen archive material.

It’s no Wonder they’re talking WONDER Woman, every youngster’s comic-book heroine, is bisexual … and she has “been in love and had relationships with other women”, says Greg Rucka, who is writing her new adventures for a film.

LADY Gaga will headline the Super Bowl halftime show next February, the National Football League (NFL) has announced.

The American, sixtime Grammy Award winner, will take to the stage on 5th February 2017 in Houston, Texas, said the league in a statement, adding: “This announcement is just the beginning of what promises to be a historic show.”

In a distinct plug for her latest single, Perfect Illusion, Gaga wrote on

Twitter: “It’s not an illusion. The rumours are true. This year’s Super Bowl goes Gaga!”

It will be her second spot on the Super Bowl stage, having sung the US national anthem before the match in Santa Clara, California, this February.

The Super Bowl is the most-watched event on US television, drawing more than 100 million viewers.

Previous headliners have included Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, U2, Katy Perry and the Rolling Stones.

Last season’s show, headlined by Coldplay, also featured Beyonce and Bruno Mars.

It is set to hit cinemas in June 2017, starring Gal Gadot. And Rucka maintains that because Wonder Woman comes from the fictional, allfemale, island nation of Themyscira, “the only options are women”.

But he does not rule out the potential for her character to have a romantic relationship with Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s love interest in previous incarnations.

Rucka, who has previously written Batman and Superman comics, told the Comicosity website: “There was a piece of me that was taken aback when Wonder Woman No.2 came out, and I saw that some people thought

(Wonder Woman’s sexuality) was still unclear.

I don’t know how much clearer I can make it!”

The US writer said the character’s sexuality was secondary to the narrative of the comicbook series, adding: “It doesn’t matter if I say ‘Yes, she’s queer’ or ‘No, she’s not queer’. It matters what you get out of the book.

“Can you find it? Is it there? Is it on the page in action or in deed?

Then, there’s your answer.”

The writer criticised

other comic books for the way in which characters’ sexualities were disclosed. “The character has to stand up and say ‘I’M GAY’ in all bold caps, for it to be evident,” he stressed.

“For my purposes, that’s bad writing.

That’s a character stating something that’s not impacting the story.”

Rucka, who has previously written Batman and Superman comics, added that DC Comics would “prefer this not to be an issue to anybody”.

He admitted: “Nobody at DC has ever said, ‘She’s gotta be straight’. Nobody ever.

They’ve never blinked at this.”

Wonder Woman was created by US psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston and first appeared in a comic in 1941.

Wonder Woman appeared on the big screen this year in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Lynda Carter starred in the Wonder Woman TV series

Motor

By Emma at Motorworld

DRIVERS must know that every time they get behind the wheel of their car, they are likely to encounter some kind of hazard, accident or incident during their journey.

We are all too aware that we live on a tourist island, so there are probably many other drivers unaccustomed to road lay-outs, speedlimits, etc.

But we often forget that there are many residents who do not drive because of illness, say, or children. They cannot drive, of course, but we really need to be aware of these pedestrians at all times.

Most of the state schools - but not the private ones, curiously - are looked after by

7th October - 13th October 2016

Beware common hazards

the Local Police at the beginning and end of the day.

They perform duties that many of us would term as Lollipop ladies/ men, making sure the kids can cross safely what are often very busy roads or intersections.

Of late, many town halls have installed barriers, which are brought down and remain so through the school hours. In effect, they are making the area surrounding the school a pedestrianonly zone.

While this is a safety measure - and commendable - many of those parents/childminders, friends, etc, dropping-off or collecting children choose, or are forced, to park illegally, causing a potential hazard to other drivers and pedestrians.

If you are approaching a school area, you should be more aware of vehicles and pedestrians, and the relevant speed limitations at these times, and act accordingly.

Zebra and pelican crossings can also be hazardous to drivers, but you might ask why.

In the UK, a zebracrossing normally has flashing yellow beacons on both sides of the road, which act as a warning that pedestrians may be around.

Here in Tenerife, we have a zebra-crossing but without the warning beacons. All too often, pedestrians will walk out on to the crossing without looking. But

once they have put one foot on the crossing, they become the priority and you must stop.

Many don’t, however, and there are obviously some near-misses, in which pedestrians are left shaken, although generally unhurt.

The elderly, and those with reduced mobility, are other pedestrians we should all be aware of when driving. Take note, wherever possible, of those on the pavement, and keep in mind

that the elderly and infirm may need more time when crossing the road.

For example, when they are crossing at a junction controlled by lights, the allotted time may not be enough for them to reach the other side safely. Also, be aware that they may not have such good eyesight or hearing.

Parents with babies or toddlers in push-chairs can also be a hazard to drivers. They have

to find what they consider a safe place, but the push-chairs’ design means that the child is manoeuvred on to the road first.

That puts them in the danger-zone, often before the parent has sufficient visibility.

As adults, we are also potential hazards to drivers at times as we rush around, crossing roads from between parked cars, dustbins, crossing diagonally and generally not using the designated areas set out.

Not only are we creating a potential hazard to drivers, but we are setting a bad example to children, who are being taught road-safety.

In addition, while doing their job, police often step into the traffic flow, either to warn of a potential hazard further on, for a road-check or to control traffic after an accident.

But they could also be considered a potential hazard if the drivers are distracted for a moment.

So keep your eyes peeled at all times.

7th October - 13th October 2016

Great Scot! Gaffers march on SOMEONE noted this week that the Direct Telecom Pool League’s Division One had become like the Scottish Premier League, with just one team dominating!

A few will probably agree, and I doubt Gaffers A will lose any sleep because they now lead by 13 points, after picking up three more on the road.

This week saw them in Los Abrigos for a match against Phoenix Potters, which can normally be a tricky fixture. But the visitors were on fire as they raced into a 5-0 lead to stun the old boys.

The home side pulled one back, but that just spurred Gaffers A on and they took the next two frames for the match. At least the Potters won the killer, so it wasn’t all bad!

Palms A moved up to second spot last week, but this week saw their wheels fall off in spectacular fashion. When they lose, they lose big!

Their only defeat previously was 11-1 against Gaffers B, and they repeated the scoreline at Dreamers. They had only themselves to blame because in the first three frames, they were first on the black.

And didn’t sink one!

In this league you get

punished for your mistakes, and Dreamers were ruthless in their finishing.

Tenerife Hammers A, away against Bluebell A, took advantage of this slip, making the early running for a 5-0 lead as if to warn Gaffers A: “Anything you can do, so can we.”

There was a brief fightback as Archie and Ralph took frames for the home side, but Wez won back-to-back frames for Hammers A, and it was game over.

Palms Elite have plenty of players to call on, but their results haven’t matched those of last season. This week they welcomed Rewind A, another team who haven’t been at their best. And they were again without their French contingent.

Palms Elite took the first two frames, but Rewind A responded by winning the next two, following those with two more to take the lead. The next two were shared, and, going into the final session, the visitors had a slight lead.

Wayne beat John to narrow that advantage, only for Pete to beat Danny to ensure Rewind A had at least a draw.

And that looked likely when Graeme beat Wilf, so it was all down to Harry against Micky.

Fortunately for Rewind A, Harry hasn’t played much pool this season, and it showed as Micky played well and got

his team a vital three points.

Gaffers B are another team struggling this season, but they managed a positive result at home against Exiles A, finishing all-square.

Rewind Rewired were back in action with a home game against Terrace Roosters and got off to a flying start, racing into a five-frame lead. The shell-shocked Roosters gathered themselves and took the next three to give themselves a glimmer of hope.

But when Valeri beat

Warren, it looked to have vanished as the home team needed one frame from three for the win.

However, the visitors dug deep and wins from Fin, Mario and Scudz rescued what looked like an unlikely point.

Terrace Bantams were also involved in a draw, with Treehouse A, but this was a cagier affair. The home team took the first two games to lead, only for the visitors to come straight back and level.

The next session was also drawn, and, at 4-4,

the game was waiting for someone to make a mistake.

Treehouse, quicker out of the traps, led 6-5 going into the final frame: Paul B for the home side against the visitors’ Paul G, and it was some clash! Eventually, it went Bantams’ way after a world-class shot from Paul B on his final colour, which squared things up.

We said last week that there were a number of sides in the running for the Division Two title.

And we also mentioned that Splash Bar could join them if they put a run of good form together. They responded with a superb win.

They were away at current league leaders Picasso’s A and it was just one of those nights for the home side because Splash Bar had Lady Luck on their side. They got their noses in front and managed to stay there for a big three points.

That defeat allowed fellow title-contenders James Hammers C to draw level with them on points.

Palms Rebels hosted Tony and the boys this week, and the Hammers took a 4-0 lead.

The home side rallied to draw the next session, but, at 6-2 down, it was a difficult come-

back. Ken H, who has been in fine form recently, beat Jack and it was all over as a contest as James Hammers C took all three points.

Yates Bar are nicelypoised in third spot after another win, this time against Hoppys A. Terry, Biggie and Lee started brightly and put their team into a good position after the first four frames. This was followed by another 3-1 session and Yates led 6 -2. But Hoppy’s A were not going down without a fight as Jason and Moysey grabbed frames back. But Kev couldn’t maintain the momentum, losing to Dan to give Yates Bar the win.

Exiles B, who haven’t had the best start to the season, managed a decent point at home against Bluebell B, who have title ambitions.

It was level after the first four frames, but Exiles slipped as Bluebell took a 5-3 lead after two sessions.

Jeff grabbed an important frame for the home side to move within one, only for Keith to beat Tomas to restore Bluebell’s twoframe cushion.

But the home side dug deep and Blair, followed by Matt, produced wins to secure a hard-fought draw.

7th October - 13th October 2016

Daddy Cool’s treble trick WITH baited breath, a host of hopeful darters and supporters alike, turned out at Bar Nauta last Friday to witness the culmination of our individual knock-out competitions.

And as it happened, one player who’s received numerous mentions in this column recently had an almost perfect night.

Richard, from Pas O Nadas, won all three of the Division 1 section finals, hitting a few maximums along the way! In fact, he lost just two legs all night, in the singles final, beating Phoenix Bar’s Mitch 4-2.

What Richard doesn’t know is that hitting a nine-dart finish gets you the chairman’s job automatically!

Of course, there were many other players deserving a mention among some excellent performances,

and some delighted winners.

None more so than Picassos’ Emma and Shaz, who claimed the ladies doubles trophy, amid shrieks of joy, and the Tavern’s Alan, who had a right old ding-dong battle with Picassos’ Per in the Division 2 singles final.

No shrieking from Alan though! We’ll call it a manly “get in there!”

A full run-down of results can be seen here, and we must say a massive thank-you to Picassos Pool Bar for sponsoring the three singles finals; Ray and Debbie for the superb hospitality; Graham for his DJ skills and, of course, our lovely volunteer chalkers.

Also, on behalf of the Oasis FM darts league, we would like to say a big thankyou to the editor of this column, and former chairman of our league, and offer him the very best for the future as moves on to pastures new. Good luck Ross.

Oasis Fm Fantasy Football League

Ian still top, Barr none!

WE are now entering another international break for World Cup 2018 qualifiers, which gives our Fantasy Football managers a chance to put their feet up and relax for a while.

The idea is not to turn off too much because players often return from these internationals with injuries, and it’s easy to get caught out with picking the next team!

We’ve had another mixed bag concerning the point-scoring team of the week because some unfancied teams are performing much better than expected.

Liverpool and Chelsea led the way with two players from both sides making the grade. The rest came from Man City, Arsenal, Spurs, Southampton, West Brom, West Ham and Watford. Surprisingly, the highest-scoring player of the week was Arsenal defender Koscielny, with a return of 15 points.

A couple of sides have traded places with

the Oasis Fm Fantasy League top five. Chris Ayliffe hasn’t had much to cheer this season as a Charlton fan, but his Addickted team have moved up into second spot.

Behind him is Paul Bradley’s El Brandinho, who returned a decent points’ haul this

week to leave him just five points off second spot.

But Ian Barr’s Barrstards remain top after putting in a team of the week performance with 68 points - not the highest of weeks, but enough to beat everybody else in the league.

He had three players

to thank for that total: Troy Deeney, Dimitri Payet and Diego Costa, who between them racked up 43 points

towards his total.

Ian has now put daylight between himself and the chasing pack, with a 35-point lead.

No fire, no power!

WE wanted changes, we got them, but CD Tenerife were still short on fire-power and managed a second successive 0-0 home draw only, this time with lowly Getafe.

CD Tenerife 0 Getafe 0

That makes it just six goals in eight games, and, with Tunisian striker Jouini getting a harsh sending-off and a one-game suspension, it’s not about to get any easier.

Pre-game concerns were about the defence; left-back Camille suffered a late training injury, and, with Edu Oriol still sidelined, there was a recall for Inaki, but German kept his spot in the centre of defence, despite a personal nightmare the previous week. Midfielder Marc Crosas was sacrificed to allow a more attacking formation and there were high hopes that Jouini and Choco would be a winning combination up front.

Tenerife had the better of the first half - and so they should have against a poor, demoralised team who had just seen their coach sacked.

Suso and Aaron made some good runs on the Position Points

flanks, but the strikers didn’t look sharp and gave the visiting defence a comfortable welcome.

At least we know the referee will always be fair and helpful to our cause - well, maybe in our dreams. After 16 minutes, with Tenerife bearing down on goal, keeper Alberto, raced out and clearly handled the ball outside his area.

Only the ref didn’t see it, so no booking, no sending-off, and no golden chance for the Santa Cruz faithful.

The best spell of sustained home pressure came around the half-

hour mark. Suso forced a couple of corners, but again the final touch wasn’t there when the ball was sent in.

Getafe mustered a couple of decent efforts, the best just before the break bringing a fine two-handed save from Dani Hernandez.

Just after the second half started, the ref dealt Tenerife another cruel blow. Jouini bustled his way into the box, falling as he clashed with a Getafe defender. It wasn’t a penalty, but the ref decided it was a dive and gave the home striker a second yellow card - and a red one as well!

Jouini is an awkward, niggling forward who takes the knocks and likes a physical contest, and even the defender looked a bit surprised at his dismissal.

Tenerife, who have tendered an appeal, are hopeful of getting the decision overturned before the weekend game at Reus.

Getafe were encouraged by the helping hand and tried to push forward a bit more, with big defender Cala adding his weight to the charge.

Tenerife had to adapt to the man shortage, and Amath for Aaron should have introduced more pace up front, but it had little effect.

Suso, who relishes a challenge, forged a

few openings down the right and saw another corner cross go begging.

The unthinkable - an away win for Getafe - could have happened!Molina, pick of their forwards, made a clumsy mugging of home defender German, which was an easy red card even for this ref, and Tenerife had 10 minutes back on level numbers.

Omar for Camara was a late gamble for a home win, but even the overlaps from deep by the new player couldn’t break the drought in front of the 9,053 crowd – CDT’s biggest of the season, Coach Pep Marti has more problems to grapple with for the game at Reus tomorrow (Saturday) and Wednesday’s Copa del Rey at Valladolid.

Keeper Dani Hernandez is away on international duty for Venezuela and, thankfully, Choco has been given a pass for Honduras duty.

Even if Jouini gets the all-clear from his appeal, Pep may want to look elsewhere to find goals.

Want-away striker Cristo Gonzalez should at least be welcomed back for the Cup game, and Senegalese midfielder Younousse dropped a couple of big hints last weekend with two goals for the B team.

Marino’s steady sea legs

55 CW

UD Lanzarote 0 CD Marino 0

ONE reason for CD Marino’s hot opening form in the Canarian Group of the Tercera Division has been their ability to shine away from home.

And last Sunday’s game at UD Lanzarote produced another point after a hard-fought 0-0 draw.

In recent seasons they picked up few points on their travels, but

new coach Toni Dumpierrez has instilled a meaner edge to the team.

Players now have a strong responsibility to back up each other rather than just concentrate on their own area of play.

This latest point leaves Marino joint-top with Fuerteventura’s El Cotillo, with home games on successive weekends to come.

This Sunday at noon, Santa Brigida of Gran Canaria, are the visitors.

Ladies forced to share points IT is proving to be a tough season for the two Tenerifebased ladies football teams in the Spanish Primera.

Both Egatesa Granadilla, who play in El Medano, and Tac-

Ayoze century bowls over Pele and Franz A WORLD away from his part in CD Tenerife’s glorious promotion season to La Primera in 2008-2009, Ayoze Garcia has entered the record books for New York Cosmos.

The North American Soccer League team have awarded the Tenerife-born player his 100th appearance in their shirt, which was a remarkable feat.

It puts him above the likes of icons Pele and Franz Becken-

bauer, who played for the original Cosmos when “proper” football burst on to the American sporting scene of the Seventies and Eighties.

Ayoze, still a sprightly 31, moved to the States in 2013 and has been a key player for them as they try to regain their glory days.

The NASL is the second division, but Cosmos are in top spot at this advanced stage of their season.

IT looked like a tough opener for Iberostar Tenerife in the Liga Endesa basketball season as they had to travel to European Cup-winners Gran Canaria.

But the form book is always there to be ripped up, and the La Lagunabased team did it in style with a 81-92 victory.

The achievement was all the more remarkable because, a few days earlier, Tenerife lost inspirational Italian Nico Richotti with a finger injury, which will keep him out for up to eight weeks.

After losing the opening quarter 20-17, Tenerife never looked back, reeling in their hosts 1519, 22-28, and 24-28.

Javi Beiran led the way with 21 points, while Fran Vazquez (19), and Georgios Bogris (12) did their bit to silence the home crowd.

Tonight (Friday), Tenerife open their home season at 8.30 against Monobus Obradoiro.

uense, based in Santa Cruz, drew last weekend.

Egatesa finished 1-1 at Zaragoza after a busy five-minute spell.

The home side took the lead after 28 minutes, only to be pegged back five minutes later by a Pisco strike.

The home keeper was the star of the show, but Tenerife still felt hard done by not to get a penalty in the final five minutes.

Tacuense hosted Oiartzun and shared six goals in a thriller. They led 3-0 within 34 min-

utes, thanks to a Reichel strike and two from Andrea.

But victory slipped away as Oiartzun fought back strongly and were awarded two penalties, one in the 93rd minute which cost Tacuense two points.

Tenerife’s Iberostars!

Money in the Bank or Money in a Bond, make an informed choice The majority of us keep money in a bank account, why? Because it is easy, relatively secure, and easily accessible. There is also a deposit protection scheme in place which covers

the amount in your bank account up to €100,000 or £75,000.

So far, so good?

The deposit protection amount has been reduced from £85,000 which was the previous compensation limit.

This means that if a bank or building society cannot meet its obligations and subsequently fails, or becomes insolvent, the maximum compensation you will receive will be £75,000

or £150,000 for a joint account (husband and wife).

What about growth on your savings? Returns are not good, interest rates are hardly inflation beating and your hard earned cash

is not really being put to work for you.

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

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

What is the alternative?

A Spanish Tax Compliant Bond

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

The returns over the last few years have been:

2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 (to date) 8.0% 7.6% 7.5% 10.3% 4.2%

The growth on a Spanish tax compliant bond is free of tax until a withdrawal is made. Even then only the growth is subject to tax.

Any tax due is paid di-

rectly to the Hacienda and no Modelo 720 declaration is required for holders of this kind of bond. The bond can also be held jointly so there should be no lia-

bility to succession tax on the first death.

The bond is backed by an AA rated financial institution which is subject to a strict legal and regulatory envi-

ronment, to European Law, and having to comply with all applicable European directives and regulations and to meet European solvency margins. Un-

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

Please remember that not all bonds are Span-

ish tax compliant. If you would like further information about the Spanish tax compliant bond please give us a call for a no obligation chat.
