Stage collapse leaves one dead and 40 injured

one person was killed and at least 40 people were injured after high winds caused a portion of the main stage to collapse at a Valencia’s Medusa Festival, set to feature david guetta, steve Aoki, Afrojack and more. the organisers of the 2022 Medusa Festival announced saturday morning that the remainder of the fest would be cancelled after “violent strong winds” reaching 50 miles per hour swept into the festival site at approximately 4:18am during a set by dJ Miguel serna. “it was a tense few minutes, i’ve never experienced anything like it before,” the dJ said in an instagram story on saturday.“thetragedy happened just at the end of my session on the main stage, just below it, which was the most affected area. it was a few moments of horror, i am still in shock.” the severe and unexpected winds “destroyed” parts of the festival grounds caused a portion of the main stage to collapse; in the aftermath, one person — a man in his 20s — was killed and at least 40 people were injured. of those, three people suffered serious trauma injuries. Videos from the Medusa Festival show high winds and a dust storm wreaking havoc on the festival grounds, with the winds also threatening to topple large video screens. spanish authorities are also seen evacuating the area soon after the windstorm; 50,000 people were in the vicinity of the festival at the time of the incident, according to report from leading media sources. “We are completely devastated and dismayed at what happened last morning. the management of Medusa Festival would like to express our deep and sincere condolences to the family and friends affected by the fatal consequences that occurred last night,” Medusa organisers wrote on Facebook.

Ximo Puig, president of the Valencia regional government, said in a statement: “it is a day of mourning and respect for those affected. And they will have us for everything they need. his unbearable suffering we also make ours. it’s a terrible accident that shocks all of us. i want to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of the young man who died early this morning at the Medusa Festival in Cullera.”theongoing heat wave enveloping europe has been blamed for the sudden gusts at the festival, as the warm coastal breezes — the temperature at a nearby airport was 104 degrees Fahrenheit at 3am — were likely the catalyst for the violent strong winds.

A 19 year-old woman who was swept out to sea off the santa Pola coastline, has been saved by a drone. the woman was around 300 metres from the shore when the surveillance drone operator noticed that she was in trouble. the woman could be seen frantically waving her arms in the air as the drone dropped a life jacket. however, in a moment of added drama, the jacket failed to inflate but luckily the remote pilot dropped a second life jacket when he saw the malfunction. this kept the woman afloat until lifeguards could reach her. she later personally thanked the drone operator, telling him that he had definitely saved her life. the woman said that she had exhausted herself trying to get back to the shore and the point when the drone found her, she was struggling just to keep herself afloat.

the Provincial government in Alicante will invest more than one million euros in the rehabilitation of the historic eras de la sal in torrevieja. the plan includes the connection of the Paseo Vista Alegre with the Paseo Maestro Velero, the restoration of the old salt company offices, the creation of the salt and sea Museum and the construction of a multipurpose area.

Girl saved by drone

the Valencian supreme Court has ruled against a Brit expat after he appealed against his attempted murder charge. William Mcdonald, from glasgow, 62, stabbed his ex-girlfriend at her Quesada holiday home in 2017. her injuries were so severe she was placed in an induced coma. he was found guilty of attempted murder by jury but appealed on the grounds he was drunk and had no intention of killing her. however, the judge upheld the verdict believing the attack to be deliberate.

One million investment for Eras de la Sal

Viewpoint for Barranco Rubio beach

the mayor of orihuela, Carolina gracia, has met with María Luisa Martínez, general director of Ports, Airports and Coasts for the generalitat Valenciana, in order to progress he building of a viewpoint at Barranco rubio beach, dehesa de Campoamor. Also present at the meeting were several officials from the general directorate of Ports, Airports and Coasts, as well as the infrastructure councillor for orihuela City Council, Ángel noguera, and the municipal headman of Campoamor, Fermín gonzález. it is believed that the drafting of the project will be awarded in the month of september and that project, financed by the regional government, will be put out to tender for 113,256 euros. this viewpoint project is part of the Coastal and seaside Action Plan (PACMAr) of the Ministry’s general directorate of Ports, Airports and Coasts in order to preserve and enhance the coastal space. the objectives are to improve accessibility to the coast, increase the use and enjoyment of the coastline and to promote pedestrian and cyclist mobility. in the plot on which they want to build is in a green area called “Fuente de la gota” and which is currently poorly equipped. For this reason, the project intends to improve it and add a viewpoint to increase the attraction of tourists to the area. this first step of drafting the project will establish the necessary actions and interventions so that once the works are finished, the space offers ease of access and mobility for pedestrians and cyclist on the coast and in its connections with the interior of the territory. it will also include a common rest area for pedestrians, build a viewpoint that encourages their contemplation and in which landscape integration prevails, facilitate connections with the existing pedestrian and cyclist network, have bike racks in the rest area, shade, benches and fountains. to meet funding, there must also be an environmental regeneration of the plot with native species, an improvement in the existing green area, and provide the viewpoint with access from the walkway to the green area. the deadline for the drafting of the project is set at eight months. the Mayor said: “it is an extraordinary project that will mean an important boost and enhancement of that area of orihuela Costa in terms of services, as well as the preservation of that part of our coastline. We are also talking about a significant improvement in accessibility, increased use based on sustainability and respect for the environment, as well as the enjoyment of the coastline by promoting pedestrian and cyclist mobility.”

the Costa Blanca People recently spoke to Peer houghton from the orihuela Costa independence Party to discuss the groups aims for the coast to be self Petergoverning.said:“the residents of orihuela Costa have been historically and still are today suffering from an appalling lack of services compared to all the other districts under control of orihuela. this cannot be blamed on the population size as orihuela Costa has a population far greater than many of the villages that are near-by but they have full control of their own administrative affairs through segregation, i fail to see how a city 34 kilometres away separated by countryside and two independent towns can lay administrative claims on the coastal area, surely a location with a population exceeding 33,227 is of sufficient size to have its own municipal council and elect councillors to that council who actually resides in the area and can truly represent the residents of the area they live in. i am always amazed that towns and villages of much smaller size have control of their administrative affairs. Just a few kilometres for orihuela Costa, the town of Pilar de la horadada with a population of approximately 24,000 gained independence from the strangle hold of orihuela in 1986. since that time this town has thrived and the amenities available to the residents have really grown over the last few years. Money raised from the area is actually spent on the residents contributing to municipal income. there is no comparison between the public amenities in Pilar de la horadada and orihuela Costa, the former is well resourced thriving area, the later is a cash cow for the benefit of the well subsidised inhabitants of a location 30 kilometres away. san Miguel del salinas, population approximately 8,000; Montesinos, population 5,500; dolores, population 7,300; Catral, population 8,600 are all self-governing and self-determining independent administrative areas. the services provided in all these areas clearly outstrip those offered to orihuela Costa residents. until the residents of orihuela Costa have power over the development and advancement of their own locality they will continue to receive the scraps off the orihuela table. independence for orihuela Costa is the only real way forward. this is the only way that will ensure that services and amenities appropriate to the size of the population are provided. Failing full independence from orihuela the coast should have considerable devolved powers and the town hall services offered in the city should be available here on the coast, some time ago there were proposals to extend the town hall in orihuela city whilst here on the coast we have a fraction of necessary services one should expect. For too long the Costa has been marginalised, neglected, and raided for the benefit of orihuela. it is now time that the residents get the services that they have been desperately waiting for. to this end the coast must have appropriate number of councillors from the area. With present population statistics a minimum of 8 councillors should actually be serving on the orihuela Council from the coastal region.the residents of orihuela Costa have the power within themselves to determine the future of the coast and that is by voting they just need to believe it and make the effort.”

Forest fires blaze a trail in addition to the high winds bringing destruction to local communities over the weekend, the hot, dry and arid temperatures saw a number of large fires break Membersout. of the Provincial Consortium rushed to guardamar del segura, where a fire broke out in Calle era de Madaleneta at around 4am. the fire caught light in an area of vegetation but it was spreading quickly and there were several houses nearby. Just an hour later a fire broke out in the La hoya neighbourhood, which joins Callosa de segura and Cox and spread to the sierra de Callosa. the blaze engulfed a lighting tower behind an abandoned building where homeless people usually live, and so once again there were concerns for human life and fire-fighters battled to extinguish the flames as quickly as possible. A dozen firemen were moved to the site with three water pumps and a command unit. two forest fire-fighting crews with fire trucks and a helicopter also joined theAlloperation.inallitwas a very intense weekend for fire-fighters who had to double their efforts in several fires declared in the province, including the Vega Baja. the Provincial Firefighters Consortium reported that at 9am sunday, the guardamar del segura fire was considered extinguished, and the sierra de Callosa fire was under control by around the same time but was not finally extinguished until 1pm.

dust from all over the world is landing in the sierra nevada mountains carrying microbes that are toxic to both plants and humans. research from uC riverside shows higher concentrations of the dust is landing at lower elevations, where people are more likely to be hiking. “Pathogenic dust is becoming more of a threat as the earth gets drier and more parched. As it turns out, you can’t go climb a mountain to get away from it all,” said uCr microbial ecologist Mia Maltz, who led the study. the researchers have detailed the types of fungi and bacteria that are landing in the mountains in a new ‘Frontiers in Microbiology’ paper. “some of these microbes can cause crop failures and human respiratory disease,” said Maltz. At the lower elevations, the researchers found more powdery mildews and sooty moulds, which can lead to forest blight and crop losses. they also found fungi like Cryptococcus, a sticky yeast, and the plant pathogen Alternaria, both of which can be inhaled or form infections in human lungs. the researchers were not surprised to learn that dust in the sierra nevada was a mixture of soil particles from as far away as China’s gobi desert and as near as California’s san Joaquin Valley. they were surprised, however, to learn about the mix of microbes in the dust, and where they landed in the mountains. they thought that evenly mixed Asian and local dust would have the greatest diversity of bacteria and fungi on board. instead, they found that when the dust was more mixed, it had lower species richness. dust samples were collected at four Critical Zone observatory network sites in the sierras, at elevations ranging from 400 to 2,700 meters. the researchers suspect microbes steadily fell out of the dust as they traveled, which may be why fewer types of bacteria and fungi were found at the top than at the base of the mountains. “i like to think of diversity as being a good thing, like a safety net. You could lose a few and still sustain the essential functions of the community,” Maltz said. “in this case, loss of microbial diversity at the higher elevations doesn’t seem to be a negative; we’re losing pathogens instead.”some dust travelling the globe and landing in the sierra nevada is natural, and even beneficial for mountain ecosystems. dust carries fungi and bacteria that help decompose organic debris and enrich the soil. there are also helpful microbes in the dust that enable plants to absorb nutrients like phosphorus that are needed for growth. Pine trees, in this ecosystem, derive more than 80 percent of what they need to produce their needles from dust. “Without dust, trees wouldn’t have what they need to flourish and fix carbon from the atmosphere at the level they’re currently doing it,” said uCr environmental microbiologist and study co-author emma Aronson. More droughts, more dust however, in a future climate, there are likely to be more droughts, resulting in more dust. if a greater proportion of the microbes landing in the sierra nevada are pathogenic, that could affect which species of plants and animals are able to “Withpersist.increased die-off of large conifers and other plants, there would be less carbon sequestered than there has been historically, and the atmosphere could get even hotter,” Aronson said. though the researchers did not set out to study climate change, the study offers a glimpse of what could happen when there is less snowpack and longer dry seasons. “Mountains are a good natural laboratory for climate change because it’s cooler and wetter at the top, and warmer and drier at the base. they give us predictive power about how ecosystems will adapt to the changes we’re already seeing,” Maltz said.

the hot wind storm that swept through the region in the early hours of saturday morning saw temperatures of 38°C in torrevieja and a maximum wind gust of 103 km/h, according to Proyecto Mastral. in the city of orihuela, Meteorihuela reported that the temperature at midnight was 28.2ºC, and at the height of the wind storm, at 1:09 hours, it rose to 37.6ºC. As for the relative humidity, at midnight it was 62 percent.thestrong gusts of wind caused damage across the province. the Provincial Firefighters Consortium whose crews carried out up to 60 interventions related to the toppling of trees, antennas, traffic signals, pergolas and awnings. the most affected areas have been the southern Costa Blanca, especially in santa Pola, elche and orihuela. Pedro José gómez Cascales, from Meteorihuela, explained that the line of storms advanced from west to east through the southeast of the iberian Peninsula, reaching the Vega Baja del segura region minutes before one in the early morning. these convective cells were formed as a result of the very dry environment in low layers and a humid zone of subtropical origin located between 4 and 5 kilometres in altitude. With these characteristics, the base of the cloud is very high and is usually synonymous with “dry storms”, with little or no rain, very strong gusts of wind and high density of cloud-toground lightning. due to the prevailing conditions, “warm blows” are very likely. it is a violent downward current that generates a sudden and intense heating of the air and a decrease in humidity on the surface. on Friday, the state Meteorological Agency (AeMet ) raised the alert level for high temperatures across the Vega Baja is to a red warning of extreme risk. the generalitat mobilised all resources to be extremely vigilant against forest fires and protect people from the heat wave, especially the elderly, the sick and children. the special plan to deal with forest fires in the Valencian Community saw extraordinary resources mobilised and extraordinary measures applied. the declaration of Preemergency level 3 called into effect mandatory restrictions in the forest lands of the Valencian Community, such as the prohibition of the transit of people on footpaths and cross country, the suspension of works on forest land or its surroundings and the suspension of the festiverecreational use of fire for festive reasons on forest land and in the forest influence zone (a border of up to 500 meters). Likewise, it also establishes the general prohibition of lighting any type of fire on forest land or in the area of forest influence and the suspension of any type of authorisation granted for sports on forest land including trekking, cycling, hiking etc.

More flight strikes easyjet’s spanish pilots walked out on Friday, calling for the reinstatement of conditions they enjoyed before the coronavirus pandemic, two weeks after a strike by the low-cost carrier’s cabin crew had resulted in a deal. Coming at the height of the summer tourist season, the new easyjet stoppages will add to the problems facing the sector. Cabin crew at budget rival ryanair have been staging 24-hour walkouts since June, which are likely to continue until January 2023, unions said. the easyjet pilots, for their part, are staging a first three-day strike from Friday at the airports of Barcelona, Malaga and the Mediterranean islands of Palma de Majorca and Minorca, the sePLA union said. two more three-day walkouts are planned later in August. “this is the only possible alternative for the pilots’ representatives, after more than six months of negotiations, at which the company has rejected all proposals made,” the union said.the airline cancelled eight flights on Friday, most of them from Barcelona, spain’s secondbusiest airport. “during the worst months of the pandemic, we agreed to lower our salaries to guarantee not only jobs, but the survival of the company itself in spain,” the union said. now, however, the company “refuses to recover the working conditions. “We are not asking for anything that we did not have two years ago,” added the union spokesman. in late July, easyJet said it took a sizeable financial hit from sector-wide disruptions, notably staff shortages, but still slashed quarterly losses as demand recovered. Just days later, easyJet cabin crews ended their strike, after reaching a deal with management to raise wages by 22 percent over three years.

Ryanair price hike warning

10 www.costablancapeople.comCostaBlancaPeople 16th - 23rd August 2022News

ryanair has warned that cheap promotional flight prices are a thing of the past, amid soaring travel costs. the airline’s boss Michael o’Leary has said that he expects the average price of their flights to rise by €10 over the next five years. that would take the average cost of a ryanair flight from €40 to €50 bys2027.peaking to BBC4’s today Programme, o’Leary said heavily discounted flights would not be available for a while due to rising fuel prices. he said: “ there’s no doubt that at the lower end of the marketplace, our really cheap promotional fares – the one euro fares, the €0.99 fares, even the €9.99 euro fares – i think you will not see those fares for the next number of years.” despite rising costs, o’Leary isn’t expecting a decrease in demand for flights overall. however, he said that passengers from more expensive airlines will begin to book with budget carriers instead, as they look to hold onto their money. he continued: “We think people will continue to fly frequently. But i think people are going to become much more price sensitive and therefore my view of life is that people will trade down in their manyLastmillions.”month, Willie Walsh, director general of the international Air transport Association, told BBC’s sunday Morning why flight prices are soaring this year. he said: “Flights are getting more expensive because of the high price of oil and it has been clear to everybody that will be reflected in higher ticket prices. Flying will be more expensive for consumers, without doubt. oil is the single biggest element of an airlines’ cost base. it is inevitable that ultimately the high oil prices will be passed through to consumers.” Car hire, accommodation and travel insurance prices have all rocketed this summer. there are ways to keep flight costs down this summer, with the time a holiday is booked affecting prices.

Salman Rushdie stabbed whilst giving speech

Writer salman rushdie has been attacked and stabbed several times whilst giving a speech in new York. the author, 75, who received death threats after publishing the satanic Verses in 1989, was stabbed by hadi Mata, from Fairview, new Jersey. the attack occurred around 10:45am as rushdie was being introduced. Witnesses claim the man came from the left of the stage and just lunged at the author and appeared to be punching him. the 24 year-old, allegedly stabbed rushdie at least once in the neck and at least once in the abdomen, state police said. staff and audience members rushed to the attacker and got him on the ground before a state trooper took him into custody, police said. salman rushdie’s agent Andrew Wylie has said that he was put on a ventilator and was unable to speak. “he will likely lose an eye,” Wylie said in a statement to the press. “ the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged. the news is not good.” rushdie, the son of a successful Muslim businessman in india, was educated in england, first at rugby school and later at the university of Cambridge where he received a master’s degree in history. rushdie’s 1988 novel was viewed as blasphemous by many Muslims, who saw a character as an insult to the Prophet Muhammad, among other objections. Across the Muslim world, often-violent protests erupted against rushdie. At least 45 people were killed in riots over the book, including 12 people in rushdie’s hometown of Mumbai. in 1991, a Japanese translator of the book was stabbed to death and an italian translator survived a knife attack. in 1993, the book’s norwegian publisher was shot three times and survived.thebook was banned in iran, where the late leader grand Ayatollah Khomeini issued a 1989 fatwa, or edict, calling for rushdie’s death. Khomeini died that same year. iran’s current supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has never issued a fatwa of his own withdrawing the edict, though iran in recent years hasn’t focused on the writer. the death threats and bounty led rushdie to go into hiding under a British government protection program, which included a round-the-clock armed guard. rushdie emerged after nine years of seclusion and cautiously resumed more public appearances, maintaining his outspoken criticism of religious extremism overall. Widely regarded as one of Britain’s finest living writers, rushdie was knighted by Queen elizabeth ii in 2008 and earlier this year was made a member of the order of the Companions of honor, a royal accolade for people who have made a major contribution to the arts, science or public life. in a tweet, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson deplored that rushdie was attacked “while exercising a right we should never cease to defend.”

FBi agents entered donald trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last week, looking for classified documents on nuclear weapons, according to reports in American media. reports, citing anonymous sources familiar with the investigation, do not clarify whether the documents concerned the us’s nuclear arsenal or one belonging to another country. nor did the sources reveal whether the agents found what they were looking for in the former president’s Florida home. What they did say was that there was concern that the documents would fall into the wrong hands. in part the search was base on the belief that additional classified information remained at the private club after the national Archives retrieved more than a dozen boxes of White house documents from the resort earlier this year. Mr. trump was in new York at the time, as the resort is mostly dormant during the summer months. the Federal Bureau of investigation met u.s secret service employees outside Mar-a-Lago to alert them they were executing the warrant. After the search, the federal agents hauled away roughly 10 more boxes, a person with knowledge of the operation said. the extraordinary lawenforcement action came two months after Justice department lawyers, including an official who supervises investigations involving classified information, visited the Palm Beach residence seeking more information about potentially sensitive material that had been taken there from the White house. the search warrant may provide more details about the FBi’s search. Attorney general Merrick garland said that the department of Justice (doJ) has filed a motion with the south Florida court to unseal the search warrant, along with the list of seized documentation. he added that he “personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant,” adding that the move was not taken “lightly.”Butthe doJ has not asked the judge to unseal the affidavit of probable cause, which could confirm if, as reported by newsweek and other us media, that the doJ was tipped off by an informer close to trump.trump could have made the search warrant and list of seized items public, but he has not done so yet. however, just before midnight, trump said he had no objections to the unsealing. “not only will i not oppose the release of documents related to the unAmerican, unwarranted, and unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in Palm Beach, Florida, Mara-Lago, i am going a step further by encourage the immediate release of those documents,” the former president posted on his truth social network.

GBP this time last week, the Boe had just raised uK rates by 50bps, and had delivered perhaps the most pessimistic outlook from any central bank since those early days of CoVid. the uK is set to enter into a multi-quarter recession, with inflation reaching the giddy heights of 13.3% this autumn, before a slow decline ensues, so the Boe tell us. We got the first evidence of the slow down today with the latest uK gdP figures showing the uK economy contracted in Q2 by 0.1%. there is an expectation that we will see small growth in Q3 however before the economy starts to contract again in Q4 as households’ energy bills are set to sky rocket. next week is also critical, with the latest inflation data, retail sales, as well as the July labour report. headline inflation topped 9.4% last time round, which is still some way away from the Boe’s lofty projections, but within fighting distance of reaching the nasty 10% region potentially. Whilst perhaps not as critical as inflation, both retail sales and the Labour report will help to give a better overview of the state of the economy. A sharp slowdown in consumer confidence is expected given the big rise in the cost of living. As for the pound, well sterling has remained close to the moves in the single currency, with gBP/eur steady at around 1.1825. gBP/ usd reached a high of 1.2280 on Wednesday, marking a strong gain against the greenback, alongside most other majors, but had slipped 100 pips by yesterday evening, as shortterm profits were booked by those who had ventured on the long side. EURO Much the same as the pound, the single currency has had a strong week, at least when measured against the greenback. having briefly fallen under parity in the middle of July, eur/usd has since gradually recovered, culminating with a move over 1.0350 on Wednesday. As you will probably be able to gauge, that move was down to that weak dollar, as opposed to anything euro area specific.thebig news on the data front was the latest german inflation report. harmonised inflation remains lofty at 8.5% (YoY), but crucially was at the same level as the previous month, which will have given everyone a marginal sigh of relief. today sees the release of the latest spanish inflation report, which is expected to remain above the 10% level throughout July. June industrial Production for the region may also reflect further softening, which is no surprise, given the challenging economic conditions within the euro area at present. Looking into a next week, region-wide growth figures (Wednesday) matter most. Last time round, there was a 0.7% gain (QoQ/Q2). hiCP inflation follows a day after. Both will have an impact on the short-term profile for the single currency.

“Are dash cams legal to use in Spain?” to be clear, it´s not a traffic offence according to traffic Law they are legal to use as long as they do not obstruct the driver´s view of the road, but it could be an offence under the data protection act, and if the camera makes unauthorised recordings of police officers, while on the job, that could endanger their own or a family member´s safety or the installations they are protecting or put the success of an operation at risk, also under the Citizen safety Law. the dash Cam recording could help prove who was at fault in a road traffic accident. Without proof it is often one person’s word against the other. Without witnesses, police attendance or an incident that is clear cut, it sometimes leads to a frustrating outcome.thedata protection Laws in spain prohibit the publication of photos and video of other people, without their express consent. only the police and other emergency services are allowed to record images in public places. under the data protection law as it stands, an insurance company probably could not use the images directly, but they could possibly be presented to a judicial court. the installation of a dash Cam in your vehicle is allowed but there are certain common-sense rules that must be considered to ensure safe driving. the placement of the device should not interfere with your ability to drive the vehicle. the device should not obstruct your field of vision from the vehicle. “How should I deal with my passwords?” Passwords are used across the web for several reasons. Logins to online shopping and social media accounts are just the tip of the iceberg, with more important uses, such as online banking and Pins being the riskiest. the scary thing is, if someone manages to hack your email account due to an insecure password, they have access to almost every online account and bank account you’ve ever set up. so, being sure to keep your passwords safe is essential. how to protect your passwords

Marley & Me

grand tour star James May ‘was rushed to hospital after crashing into wall at 75mph during filming for the Amazon Prime show’ the presenter, 59, crashed into a wall at 75mph while shooting a stunt scene for his Amazon Prime show James braked too slowly while racing rally cars with his co-hosts Jeremy Clarkson and richard hammond and ‘broke at least one rib’ during the incidentJames was assisted out of his Mitsubishi Lancer evo 8 by paramedics and was quickly taken to hospital for a brain scan and X-rays James was assisted out of his Mitsubishi Lancer evo 8 by paramedics and was quickly taken to hospital for a brain scan and X-rays. the show, which first premiered in 2016, has featured four seasons as well numerous specials before production on a fifth season was delayed in 2021 due to richardCoVid.himself was in a horror crash while filming top gear in 2006. he cheated death when he crashed a jet-powered dragster called Vampire at nearly 320mph while filming at the former rAF elvington airbase near York. the stunt was part of an attempt to break the British land speed record for the BBC show. At the time, richard told the daily Mirror: ‘i was in a bad way when they came to get me. the air ambulance guys were amazed i was still breathing. ‘At first they said i’d be in hospital for 15 months. Yet here i am ready to go back home after five weeks. i’m so bloody lucky i can’t believe it. i,ve been through so much grief and loss, Bros star Matt Goss fell out with his brother, Luke, and lost his sister and mum and his millions - now, as he signs up for strictly Come dancing he tells of the toll it all took. Matt goss has spent goodness knows how many years trying to understand his volatile relationship with his identical twin brother, Luke. it is, as he says, ‘complicated’. ‘i would do anything for Luke. if we both feel a little bit wobbly or vulnerable, we’re there for each other certainly. indeed. Anyone who’s seen their brilliant documentary about their years together in one of the most successful British boy bands of all time, Bros: After the screaming stops, knows only too well how easily those buttons are pushed.Forthose who haven’t, let’s just say if the film, which won the national Film Awards best documentary in 2018, had been released when Brosmania first gripped the country in the late 1980s, there would have been more bleeps to cover the swearing than actual music. so much so, you couldn’t help but worry for their blood pressure as Matt, the band’s frontman, and Luke, the drummer, went head-to-head. And now? Matt is 53 with less hair but a sense of self that’s enormously attractive. he’s also extremely approachable and seems, i tell him, wondrously at ease. ‘For the first time in my life i believe i have people around me who really genuinely care,’ he says. ‘For me there’s been a guilt that comes along with my happiness sometimes because i want to make sure that everyone has that same level of happiness.‘ifyou’ve seen the film, you’ll see Luke said i was chosen or something like that. For me, i was just going out doing my job, working the crowd. ‘When you’re front of the stage you’ve got to do that and i’d love my brother smashing away behind me 100 per cent. ‘the drummer is the backbone of a band but as a frontman you’ve got to grab the crowd by the throat. ‘i felt i had to apologise for being the frontman for the past three decades. those days are over.’ Little more than a week ago, Matt returned home to London for good after more than a quarter of a century in the states where, during his 11-year sell-out residency in Las Vegas, his success on the strip was compared to that of Frank sinatra.next month, he will compete in strictly Come dancing which, he says, ‘will force me into a place that’s not my comfort zone. i’d win Baftas, play the o2, do great, great promotions, then go back into this kind of reclusive place.

Katie Price has reportedly landed in hot water with ex-husband Kieran hayler over a video she shared of their eight-year-old daughter Bunny on social media.‘Alarm bells’ were said to have rang for the former stripper, 35, after he watched a video of his daughter eating a lollipop, which has since been deleted by the ex glamour model, 43. the three-minute long video saw Bunny eating a lollipop, calling it AsMr, also known as autonomous sensory meridian response videos - which feature sounds that provoke a relaxed and pleasant sensation in the bodywith fans using them to de-stress or drift off to Commonsleep. examples of these triggers include receiving or watching someone else receive personal attention, such as massages or hair brushing, and also from listening to soft sounds such as whispers or tapping. And despite the seemingly harmless nature of Bunny’s clip, Katie - who also shares son Jett, nine, with Kieran - was soon flooded with comments from worried parents as they warned her about child safety online. After watching the video of his daughter, Kieran was said to be ‘furious’ with his ex-wife, reports the sun. A representative of the father-ofthree told the publication: ‘Kieran has been made aware of this recent post and will address with Miss Price. ‘it’s raised alarm bells and concern over videos featuring their daughter Bunny. the children’s safety is paramount, Kieran will exercise the appropriate measure to ensure this.’ Katie was said to be inundated with concern comments, with one person urging: ‘Please be careful with posting stuff like this, there’s some real creeps on this ‘haveappyou not seen how many men are saving these videos of kids on here ... Be CAreFuL’, shared another.

The team in Boston spent three years looking at more than 8,000 foods and drinks, from melon to a McDonald’s, and used cutting-edge science to rank them according to 54 different attributes. They gave each food a score between 1 and 100 — the higher the score, the healthier the food. Foods scoring between 100 and 70 are encouraged, those between 69 and 31 should be eaten only in moderation, while anything under 30 is bad news. Some of the highest scoring foods will come as little surprise. Legumes, nuts and seeds (average score 78.6), fruits (73.9) and vegetables (69.1) all do well. Savoury snacks and desserts (average score 16.4) are on the nogoButlist. there are some surprises. Sweet potato crisps get a score of 69, the same as bulgur wheat, usually considered a healthy grain. The vitamins and minerals in both are comparable. But break it down further, and other factors emerge. Sweet potatoes have more vitamin A and potassium, and are low in sodium.

Rohit Ghai said some foods are ruined when cooked on a barbeque He said many seafoods are spoiled because of how easy it is to overcook them.With summer in full swing, some might be tempted to get out the barbeque for nearly every meal. However, one Michelin-starred chef has warned against using the BBQ every chance you get - suggesting some foods are completely ruined when cooked with the outdoor appliance. Rohit Ghai is one of the culinary world’s most in-demand chefs following a successful decade on the London restaurant scene - having opened his first solo eatery, Kutir, in 2018. He also runs Mayfair’s Indian restaurant Manthan. He explained that many seafood are spoiled if placed on the BBQ, because of how easy it is to overcook them. Meanwhile, lamb is one meat that will become too dry when cooked outdoors and tofu is far too delicate for it. Rohit said seafood when using a barbeque should largely be avoidedwith the dishes easily overdone when placed on such a high heat. He explained: ‘Oysters are very delicate in taste and very easy to overcook. Cooking these on the BBQ would be too intense and they’d end up‘Shrimps,dry. meanwhile, are very susceptible to drying out when introduced to a BBQ. Try grilling langoustines or jumbo prawns instead for your seafood fix.

• Coolers or cooling bags provide great insulation. Use enough ice packs and drinks so that drinks can be kept cool throughout the day. Always make sure the cooler or bag is closed properly.

SUMMER COCKTAIL RECIpES

The perfect summer days are upon us and trips to the park, water parks, lakes, beaches or even taking your boat are planned. The sun is shining and everything is packed! Sun screen, sunglasses, towels and a few cold drinks – check. You are ready to leave! But wait… how are you going to keep those cool drinks cool during the warm summer weather? Here are some helpful and handy tips that you may want to try. Everyone loves a cool drink on a hot day, but if you drive to and arrive at your destination without any form of cooling, drinks will warm up quickly. Let’s be honest nobody likes a hot soft drink, beer or wine.

Keep Your Drinks Cool On The Road

• Pack the bottles and cans as close as possible to each other. If less surface comes in contact the warm air, drinks keep cooler for longer.

• Use a cheap insulation blanket or a windscreen shade. The foil on the inside insulates well. A fleece blanket is a good alternative. Roll the cold bottles tightly together.

• The last (and probably best) tip: Drink your drinks as soon as possible. This way, they can not heat up in the first place!.

• Be careful when consuming alcohol during on hot days. Alcohol dehydrates you. A nice cold wine or beer in the outdoors- where permitted- is delicious, but make sure you drink plenty of water or soda to keep you hydrated.

STEP 2 Fill a large jug with ice. Stir the macerated fruit mixture to ensure the sugar is dissolved, then tip into the jug with the wine and brandy. Stir, then top up with the sparkling water and serve.

STEP 3 Once the sugar syrup is cold, pour 1 tbsp into a cocktail shaker along with a handful of ice, the vodka, espresso and coffee liqueur. Shake until the outside of the cocktail shaker feels icy cold. STEP Strain4 into the chilled glasses. Garnish each one with coffee beans if you like. Easy IngredientsSangria 2 oranges , chopped 2 pears , chopped 2 lemons , 1 chopped, 1 juiced 200g red berries , chopped (we used strawberries and cherries) 3 tbsp caster sugar 1 tsp cinnamon 750mlIce bottle light red wine 100ml Spanish brandy 300ml sparkling water Method STEP 1 Put the chopped fruit in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and cinnamon, then stir to coat. Cover and leave to macerate in the fridge for at least 1 hr, or ideally overnight.

• Cool your drinks for a minimum of 24 hours in the refrigerator before you leave.

• Take advantage of your environment. Sometimes a natural cooling element will be present. Is there a creek, lake or a stream nearby? Then put the bottles in the water to keep them cold. Take care of nature and observe signs. Always discard your litter properly, there can be significant fines.

• Alternatively, if you’re at the beach bury the bottles in the sand, making sure that the opening and part of the bottle neck still remain above ground and visible.

Espresso Martini ForIngredientsthesugar syrup 100g golden caster sugar For the cocktail 100mlIce vodka 50ml freshly brewed espresso 50mlcoffee coffee liqueur (we used 4Kahlua)coffee beans (optional)

STEP 2 Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Put 2 martini glasses in the fridge to chill.

Tips to keep your drink cool on a hot Summers day!

• Another perfect option is to fill a cooler with a combination water and ice. Add a good amount of salt, which creates a chemical reaction accelerating the cooling process. Salt lowers the freezing point, making the water colder. The water creates a large contact area, which cools the drinks quickly.

Method STEP 1 Start by making the sugar syrup. Put the caster sugar in a small pan over a medium heat and pour in 50ml water. Stir, and bring to the boil.

Eating when you are hungry is the best way to LOSE weight

A survey has suggested that it is better for your psychological healthScientiststoo. have said that eating intuitively when you feel hungry is better for psychological and physical health. 6,000 young adults from eight countries took part in a survey regarding their eating habits. The survey showed that those who followed their body’s hunger signal were less likely to overeat-.Nutritionists often advsie to ignore our hunger pangs or risk piling on the pounds but it is actually better to listen to your body when it tells you it’s time to Manyeat. popular diets do not take this Into account when advising how to lose weight – for example when counting calories or only eating during certain times of the day. But trusting our appetite and eating when we feel hungry is better for our psychological and physical health, research suggests. In a study, those who ate intuitively were more likely to weigh less and feel happier with their body than those who restricted their food intake. Research has also found that being in tune with our body’s signals was more important than following ‘the latest trendy diet or eating plan’. In the online survey, more than 6,000 young adults across eight countries answered questions on self-esteem and body mass index (BMI), a measure of whether an individual is a healthy or unhealthy weight. Researchers looked at three eating styles – intuitive, emotional and restrained. Emotional eating is in response to internal cues such as feeling stressed or sad. Restrained eating is rigidly restricted with the aim of losing or maintaining weight. Analysis found the more people ate intuitively, the happier they tended to be with their body. They also had higher selfesteem and lower weight. On the other hand, higher levels of restrained and emotional eating were associated with lower body satisfaction and self-esteem, and being heavier. ‘This research is in sync with evidence that dieting is ineffective for both weight loss and body satisfaction and often counterproductive. We should aim to be more in tune with our own physiology than the latest trendy diet or eating plan.’ Scientists also state that eating styles are likely to be linked to how people feel about themselves. ‘We can deduce that these eating styles may affect individual’s actual consumption, given the association sometimes found with weight status,’ they added.Last month, researchers discovered that feeling ‘hangry’ – a mixture of hungry and angry – is a real phenomenon. The expression has become popular in recent years but had not been widely explored by science.Astudy found that hunger is associated with greater levels of anger and irritability, as well as lower levels of pleasure.

The youngster from Rzeszow in Poland, has a congenital defect that meant around a fifth of her skull did not form properly at the back of her head. It was missed during pregnancy scans and only noticed by doctors when she was born in February. The missing occipital bone left her brain exposed at the back which, if left untreated, would have left her susceptible to infections that would almost certainly have proved deadly. Doctors were able to patch her up using skin and soft tissue from other parts of her body in an extremely delicate twohour procedure. The operation was possible because medics were able to visualise and practice using an exact 3D-printed replica of the child’s head

The best ways to ward off Dementia

done it more and more lately. Also she will ring me at the last minute and want to go to the bar and even told me that her other friends had let HER down. I have come to hate being treated this way; being picked up and put down. Also, when we are out, she’s always on the phone arranging other trips out, and seems disinterested and distracted when I talk to her about anything that isn’t to do with her. Well, it’s up to you; you can continue to allow this lady to treat you this way, or you can do something about it. Speak to her and tell her exactly how you feel, if you think it would do some good, otherwise it might be a good time to allow the relationship to lapse. From what you say, if you began to blow her off a bit, she’d probably go elsewhere without too much fuss, as it seems she’s always looking for someone who will dance to her tune.

The best hobbies for warding off dementia have been revealed. Major study has shown that reading books or playing an instrument slashes risk by 23%, yoga and dancing have a 17% protective effect and joining a club or volunteering cuts chance by 7%.Researchers in China examined patterns in hobbies and cases of the memory-robbing condition among 2.1million people. The findings show that those who engage in mental tasks - such as reading, writing and even watching TV - were a quarter less likely to receive a dementia diagnosis. Meanwhile, staying active reduced the risk by a fifth and meeting up with others lowered the likelihood by a tenth.

Older Drivers

How Long Does It Take to Receive a Speeding Ticket?

Tips for older drivers Stay physically active. In other words, staying physically active improves strength and flexibility. In turn, physical activity can increase driver safety by making it easier to turn the wheel, look over your shoulder to change lanes, and make other movements while driving and parking. Therefore, look for ways to incorporate some type of training into your daily routine.

Communities with powers: Catalonia, through the Catalan Traffic Service, the Basque Country, through its Traffic Directorate, and Navarra . Each of these bodies manages its own sanction files.

HOW TO KNOW QUICKLY IF YOU HAVE A TRAFFIC TICKET It is also good to know, yes, that there are ways to find out quickly and almost immediately if you have a traffic ticket. The DGT, for example, makes the DirecciónElectrónica Vial (DEV), available to you on its website, which you access through the DGT Electronic Headquarters and, with a digital certificate, sanctions are notified electronically and immediately if you have received any fine.In addition, by signing up for the new miDGT application, you can even see if you have fines from your mobile and even pay them by credit card. However, and we have said this before, the miDGTapplication is so secure it is almost impossible for many people to access. The same can be said about the website though, unless you are used to using the digital signature system.

We have spoken before about older drivers, and in particular how the DGT may change the rules in the future, and although no definitive plans have been set out yet, it is looking inevitable that things will change in the not-too-distant future, in particular for drivers over 65.

International measures Likewise, these special provisions for driving licences for the elderly are not only a Spanish case. For example, in the United Kingdom the licence is automatically withdrawn from those over 70 years of age, unless you renew it. On the other hand, in Denmark, Italy, Ireland or Portugal, the terms of renewal are also shorter than in Spain.

Regular vision and hearing tests In short, vision and hearing tend to deteriorate with age. Thus, hearing loss can be a concern for older drivers because it limits the ability to hear an approaching train or emergency vehicle. Common agerelated vision problems, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, can also make it difficult to see clearly or drive at night.

Inappropriate speed is one of the “Fatal 4”, in so much as it is a contributing factor to the majority of fatal incidents on the road, and yet, despite that, everyone will exceed the speed limit at some point, we have to acknowledge that as a fact. However, sometimes that speeding occurs when passing a camera, and so sometimes we expect the inevitable, a speeding ticket through the post. But, how long does that usually take? This is a popular question, and one which many drivers ask a lot in Spain, and although it’s not definitive, we can give you an approximate answer. Normally, mobile radars are usually notified instantly, especially on conventional roads, where shortly after you have been snapped by the camera a patrol will stop you and issue the fine there and then.However, fixed or section radars do not have accompanying patrols, and so the process is carried out automatically. On average, this type of notification of fines from the DGT usually takes between one and three weeks to reach your home. Remember though, this is the estimated time. From there, we could estimate that, after a period of one month from the infraction, the normal thing is that you do not have fines: either you did not pass as fast as you thought, or the margin of error of the radar and the speedometer have resulted in you getting away with it. Good news, but a lesson to be learned. That, however, does not mean that due to delay or any other circumstance the fine cannot still arrive at your home even days after the month of the infraction has expired... although it is not usual. Specifically, the Law on Traffic, Circulation of Motor Vehicles and Road Safety establishes that the limitation period for infractions is 3 months for minor ones, and 6 months for serious or very serious ones. So, although quite a long time after the event, if after 6 months of the fact you have not received the sanction, you can be completely calm that you will not receive one. WHO CAN FINE YOU? Depending on the route and the type of infraction, the fine, the competent authority to fine you, can change. Remember that to manage a fine, you must always contact the body that imposed it on you. In Spain, the competent authorities to sanction traffic matters are: The General Directorate of Traffic. Town Autonomoushalls.

DGT: high death rate It is worth emphasising that 30% of those killed in traffic incidents in the European Union are over 65 years of age. In Spain, in 2021, 28% of those killed in collisions were drivers with these characteristics. “These figures are going to worsen, if we do nothing, due to the aging of the population,” said María José Aparicio, deputy director of Education and Road Training of the DGT. In addition, she argued that: “older people must be protected, but always promoting their mobility and safety.”

Control medications In conclusion, many medications— including tranquilizers, pain relievers, and cold remedies—can affect driver safety, even when you feel fine. Therefore, read the labels of your antidotes to know what to expect from each one. It should be noted that you should not drive if you have taken drugs that cause drowsiness or dizziness.

Loss of faculties Likewise, the general secretary of the Spanish Association of Psychotechnical Medical Centres (ASECEMP), Bonifacio Martín, has said that “age is a factor that notably influences the loss of faculties. The older, the more denials and restrictive conditions” and has indicated that “the view is the most relevant organ in providing information on driving and it is also the one that provides the greatest number of denials and restrictive conditions”. What does the DGT say about it? Eventually, the DGT establishes that renewals up to the age of 65 should be carried out every ten years. Then, this period is reduced to five years for those drivers older than the established age and, it becomes two years when they are over 70. All these procedures entail a series of tests of visual aptitude, reflexes, hearing ability, among others. Are changes coming? On the other hand, the entity that regulates traffic has been warning for some time that these deadlines are excessive for the most veteran drivers. Although it has regained strength in recent weeks, the truth is that the statements collected by some media outlets point to words that María José Aparicio, deputy director of the DGT, made several months ago. Also, at the time, Pere Navarro, head of the DGT, targeted nonagenarians and centenarians in a speech in the Congress of Deputies. Therefore, it was dropped that this community could shorten the terms when renewing the driving licence, which is currently five years. It is important to clarify that today there are more than 3 million drivers who are over 70. With restrictions Indeed, even when they approve the renewal of the permit to circulate, 81% of those over 65 years of age receive some type of restriction. Similarly, there are cases where the driver is prohibited from circulating beyond a certain number of kilometres from their home, the hours, speed or even the roads on which they can drive are restricted.

Eddie Howe and Graham Potter’s sides put on an entertaining display but, ultimately, showed why both would love another striker in the ranks. As we know, a week is a very long time in football - just ask Big Mitro. Seven days ago he was being lauded as the perfect proper number nine. On Saturday, he missed a late penalty costing his side a valuable win away at Wolves. Thems the breaks.

Even Granit Xhaka scored and played well - shall we revisit this when it all gets a bit more cold and wet? As for Leicester, you have to worry for them a bit given that they aren’t going to sign anyone and are unlikely to resist the various bids for Wes Fofana and James Maddison much longer. The only bright spot for Brendan Rodgers really was Youri Tielemens playing so badly that the Gunners cannot bid for him again now.

On the pitch, Villa beat Everton 2-1 because Everton are really, really bad still and Villa are merely not that good.

West Ham fans decided to spend their day throwing money at Jesse Lingard as Forest beat the Hammers 1-0. Maybe J-Lingz could put it in the transfer kitty the rate Steve Cooper is burning through the budget. It was Forest’s first Premier League in 20 odd year, you might have heard. West Ham were slightly unfortunate and also masters of their own downfall - they hit the bar twice and made Dean Henderson believe he’s even more great after Declan Rice missed from the Arsenalspot.looked very, very good in the sunshine. Gabby Jesus scored two and set one up before being hooked.

Sergio Romero have been sent off for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair? In fairness, there’s so much of it you cannot completely say it wasn’t an accident - until you realise it was SergioThereRomero.was no such drama at the Emptyhad as Manchester City scored four against Bournemouth as expected. What wasn’t expected was that Erling Haaland didn’t get any. Obviously, they’re going to win the league again this season (and fail hilariously in the latter stages of Europe probably).

TALES fROM THE TOp fLIGHT

Well, that weekend had a bit to talk about didn’t it? The 2022/23 Premier League is only 180 minutes old and it has more talking points than Neighbours getting canned the other week.Thomas Frank said after Brentford stuffed Manchester United 4-0 that he hoped they’d get a little bit of credit. But Thomas, where is the fun in that? Erik ten Hag cancelled United’s day off on Sunday, presumably because they took it on Saturday. David de Gea often gets away with his inability with his feet because he’d very good at using his hands. His performance on Saturday does kinda explain why Dean Henderson had the massive hump.United used the trip to West London to unveil their puke-green away kitrather apt given their performance made their fans very, very sick. And who’d have thought a 5ft 9 central defender would get targeted in the air at every available opportunity? Hipsters might well point to Javier Mascherano doing it for Pep at Barcelona or Italian metaphoric giants Franco Baresi and Fabio Cannavaro doing it for the their clubs and even Martinez doing it for Ajax last season. There’s a key difference however. They were in good teams. Martinez is not, so it does not matter how good he is on the ball if he’s being asked to defend for 90 minutes. Ben Mee (free), bundled both ball and Argentine shortman (£47m+) into the net for theAtthird.one point, the Brentford fans were singing “you should have stayed at a big club” - the main question being whether it was being directed at Christian Eriksen or even Ten Hag. Still, it was good to see Eriksen still assisting for the Bees - laying on their second.TenHag has broken pretty much every United record going in just two games - the only one left, surely, is fasted ever sacking? It’s not his fault, I hear you cry - but are you telling me he didn’t opt for Martinez and Eriksen - a talented midfielder who (shock, at United I know) there seems to be no planThankfor? goodness they didn’t sign Marko Arnautovic, right? There’s only so many bad decisions that can be made in a week. And then what about Stamford Bridge? That was a bit passionate, wasn’t it? Chelsea and Tottenham showed plenty of fight on the pitch and even more on the sidelines and the biggest question that came out of it was not about either team’s third place credentials - it was about who would win in actual fight between Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel. My money is 100% on the Italian. Spurs recruited a set-piece guru in the summer and he’s clearly still n CHRIS DARWEN chris@costablancapeople.com

With 20 minutes to go, Southampton fans were questioning their faith in Ralph Hassenhuttl at St Mary’s. Leeds led 2-0 and the game looked done - until the Alpine Klopp rolled the old tactical gamble dice and magiced up two goals to steal a point.I’ll be back next week - where United will definitely NOT get mocked (because they play Liverpool on Monday night which conveniently misses the deadline….)

The first ever managerial clash between Stevie G and Lamps brought a variation of the oft asked questionwho is better? My favourite answer to this question over the weekend was “Paul Scholes”.

The battle of the next England manager’s shortlist of two ended 0-0.

working through the attacking corners given how Tottenham conceded and scored. Koulibaly has inherited JT’s famous number 26 shirt at Chelsea and has already done something I cannot recall Terry doing - volleying one in straight from a corner. Spurs passed their first real ‘bottle’ test of the season with Harry Kane heading home deep into injury time - leaving just enough airtime for Conte and Tuchel to start round two before the ref sent them bothShouldoff.
