Explosives found BOMB specialists with the National Police were called to Marbella after undetonated explosives were found, three of them near a golf course. Officers with the National Police’s TEDAX explosives unit were sent to the golf course after a worker there found what looked like three metal objects nearby. Two of the objects were around 30 centimetres long while the other was about half a metre long. The worker realised they were explosives and called police, unsure if they were still live. Officers later confirmed the explosives, which were two small shells and a mortar round, were live, but disused. One of them was destroyed in a controlled explosion while the other two were removed from the area. Police decided to look in the area to check to see if there were any more explosives. A fourth one was found which was also removed.

A PATIENT threatened to kill staff during a rampage in a San Pedro de Alcantara health centre on Tuesday, the second violent incident there in a week. The CSIF medical workers union said the man arrived at the clinic at around 12.45pm and demanded medication. Staff told him he would have to wait 15 minutes which ‘irritated him.’ The patient then began smashing glass dividers, cutting his hands. He also threw a table over leaving medical supplies strewn across the floor and cornered nurses before other patients stepped in. The man threatened to kill anyone who called the police if he was arrested, according to CSIF. The assault comes after National Police officers were called when a woman showing signs of drunkenness began hitting a doctor in the emergency waiting room there on Tuesday, July 16. CSIF officials have since called on the Junta de Andalucia to take ‘real and effective’ measures against patient assaults. Other health centres were being monitored 24 hours a day because of a spike in staff assaults, according to the union. It comes as there have been at least 45 alleged or proven assaults on staff in Malaga Province health centres so far this year.

Missing girl
A SENIOR Guardia Civil officer has said police used all available resources during the search for Lucia Vivar who was found dead by a railway line near Pizarra station. Colonel Jesus Estaban, the head of the force in Malaga Province, said two of the three patrols from the Coin unit were sent to look for
the toddler in July 2017. It comes after her parents posed questions to authorities including why only one patrol was used. A court probing Vivar’s death shelved the case after finding no evidence of criminal involvement. She was found more than four kilometres from Pizarra station the morning after disappearing.

MARBELLA 42 - 44 EUROPEAN 48 FINANCE VENERATED: Santa Maria de Africa is the patron saint of Ceuta.
Patron saint THIS picture of a shrine to the Virgin Mary comes from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta which is venerating her African image, their patron saint, on Monday. Catholics there celebrate Santa Maria de Africa (Saint Mary of Africa) every August 5. The festival typically sees devotees lay flowers in for the Virgin in Ceuta’s Plaza de Africa. There is also a procession throughout the city which sees locals throw flowers from balconies. The parade is followed by fireworks.
The Santa Maria de Africa celebration has its origins not with Spain but with Portugal. Prince Henry the Navigator, who became famous for launching early Portuguese exploration efforts, sent an image of the Virgin Mary to Ceuta in 1421. The image was sent with a message which said: ‘I send you an image of the Virgin who is very devoted to me.’ The image of the Virgin Mary evolved into a representation for Africa, similar to other incarnations worshipped by Catholics including
the Virgen del Carmen and Virgen del Rosario. The image was also co-opted by Ceuta for official use and was named the enclave’s patron saint in 1654. Ceuta was in Spanish hands by this time, having remained under the country’s control after a union between it and Portugal dissolved in 1640. Santa Maria de Africa is often depicted weeping as she mourns the plight of children on the continent according to Catholic tradition.
Deadly hepatitis payout
‘Smaller’ than cells
A COURT has ordered the Andalucian Heath Service (SAS) to compensate the family of a patient infected with a fatal strain of hepatitis C while in Malaga City’s Regional Hospital. The court ordered SAS to pay €20,000 after ruling in favour of the Patient Advocacy group which filed the claim. Patient Advocacy is set to appeal the ruling claiming the damages are not enough. Lawyer Damian Vazquez told the court procedures to prevent the virus spreading were not carried out, meaning the hospital negligently caused the patient’s death. The patient contracted the virus after undergoing surgery at the hospital in October 2012. He was not diagnosed until December 2013 despite showing symptoms as early as April and died in February 2014, Vazquez told the court. The lawyer added several blood transfusions done at the hospital between February and April 2013 saw three more patients infected.
A NEW holding centre for migrants in Malaga City’s port features rooms almost half the size of a typical prison cell, according to its floor plan. The plan for the new Centre for Temporary Assistance to Foreigners (CATE), published in Spanish media, showed each migrant would have 2.3 square metres of space. The amount is about 42.5 per cent less than that which prisoners are legally entitled to. The Interior Ministry said such regulations could not apply to the centre because it was built to meet an ‘urgent’ need. The Human Rights Association of Andalucia in Malaga (APDHA) said moving inside the rooms would be ‘almost totally’ impossible if bunk beds are in them. “There are also no areas for dining or recreation. The newcomers will be held in conditions of overcrowding,” APDHA claimed. Spanish law states migrants cannot be held in such centres longer than 72 hours.

Tabloid’s murky world ONCE again a British tabloid - this time The Mirror - has sent ‘undercover ’ reporters to ‘expose’ the murky world of Puerto Banus and Marbella. Like most places where the rich and famous congregate, there is little doubt that there is a shady side to the glamorous resort. But the UK press’s obsession with drugs, prostitutes and gangland violence has once more got the better of it.

Photos of women sitting on a street wall are hardly the evidence The Mirror claims to back up its assertions. For most people who visit the resort port, it is a world away from the lifestyle they witness and enjoy. Instead of speaking to a lawyer who specialises in helping expats in trouble, maybe they should talk to the everyday visitors who never see any trouble.

CHOSEN: Malaga City is set to host the Goya Awards. MALAGA City has been chosen to host the next Goya Awards ceremony, Spain’s answer to the Academy Awards and BAFTAs. Directors of Spain’s Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences chose Malaga City as the host of the 34th edition of the awards on Monday. It is due to be held in the Jose Maria Martin Carpena Sports Centre in January. Actor and Malaga native
Antonio Banderas said: “After so many years of Malaga backing culture, the Spanish Film Academy has recognised this by bringing the Goya ceremony here. Immense joy!” The decision comes as Malaga City Council agreed to earmark almost €1.4 million towards hosting the ceremony in anticipation of being chosen. Mayor Francisco de la Torre was one of the leading
voices pushing for Malaga City’s bid and attended meetings with the Motion Picture Academy. Malaga City follows Sevilla City which hosted the event earlier this year. Nominations for the 2020 ceremony are yet to be decided. Last year’s awards saw Campeones (Champions) named best picture, while Antonio de la Torre was crowned best actor and Najwa Nimri best actress.

Officers seized more than 10 tons of tobacco during the investigation. The case continues.

Forth paying a visit by Dilip Kuner PORTSMOUTH-based HMS Forth has arrived at Gibraltar’s Naval Base for a routine scheduled visit. She is the first of five new Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) designed for counterpiracy, antismuggling, fishery protection, border patrol, counter terrorism and maritime defence duties and was first commissioned on April 13, 2018. She has now started operations after successful trials and training, and is due to be deployed to the Falklands later this year. One of her first operations was to shadow a Russian patrol ship as it passed through the English Channel towards Dover in June. HMS Forth sailed from Liverpool having been activated to meet the Russian ship Vasily Bykov as she neared UK waters. Forth located the vessel before following her movements alongside Royal Navy aircraft from Culdrose-based 824 Naval Air Squadron and Yeovilton-based 815 Naval Air Squadron. HMS Forth carries a crew of up to 60, can reach more than 20 knots and has a range of 5,500 nautical miles.

THE WEEK IN POLITICS By Joe Gerrard SPAIN’S acting prime minister will be weighing his options carefully after failing to secure lawmakers’ backing for his return to government. Pedro Sanchez lost both of last week’s investiture votes after the leftist Podemos refused to join a coalition government with the left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE). The acting prime minister lost the second and final investiture vote after 155 Congress of Deputies members voted against him. He secured the backing of 124 lawmakers, but Podemos’ abstention deprived him of the numbers needed to win the simple majority, more yeses than nos, required to govern. Acting Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo accused Podemos of demanding ‘virtually the government’ after they asked for control of ministries including Labour, Science and Finance. Podemos’ head of political action Pablo Echenique claimed PSOE intended talks
Weighing options
STUCK: Sanchez faces no clear way forward. to fail to manufacture an excuse to approach the conservative Partido Popular (PP) and the centrist Ciudadanos. The countdown has now begun for Sanchez to get Podemos’ support with a new offer or to call a fresh election. Sanchez has until Monday September 23 to hold another investiture vote or call a snap poll. PSOE sources have said the acting prime minister is keep-
ing the door to talks open but the party is also being geared up to fight another election if necessary. Each way forward for Sanchez and PSOE is fraught with complications. Reopening talks with Podemos may lead to greater concessions or it could land the acting prime minister back where he started, without a deal and facing defeat in Congress.
A fresh election would also be a gamble. PSOE is currently polling ahead of its rivals, but the gap between it and the PP is closing (see Poll Tracker). If Sanchez called an election, the PP and Ciudadanos could cast him as the architect of Spain’s political impasse and could win seats at his expense or collectively defeat PSOE. King Felipe is set to meet with party leaders to find a way forward. Although he may encourage the PP and Ciudadanos in particular to try and reach a deal with Sanchez, their political priorities might trump the king’s wishes. PP and Ciudadanos leaders Pablo Casado and Albert Rivera respectively may reason their chances are better going into possible elections in opposition rather than throwing their lot in with PSOE.
Backlog growing POLITICAL deadlock resulting from protracted talks to form a new government is causing state business to pile up, with posts unfilled and long-standing legislative issues stalling. The acting left-leaning Partido Socialista (PSOE) government’s mounting unfinished business includes a budget for this year. The failure of the government’s earlier draft budget, which was effectively vetoed by pro-Catalan independence lawmakers, triggered April’s election. The 2018 budget drawn up by the previous conservative Partido Popular (PP) budget was carried over to this year. But delays to forming a new administration could also affect accounts for 2020. Pension and housing reform are also among the items of unfinished business. The government has yet to iron out details for state housing while pension rises have not been signed off after three years of talks. A handful of high-level government positions also remain unfilled, including the post of Territories Minister which has been vacant since Meritxell Batat became the Congress of Deputies president. Foreign Minister Josep Borrell is also set to take up a new role with the European Commission, raising the prospect of Spain being without a top diplomat. The National Intelligence Centre (CNI) is also without a director.

Ambassador: getting registered ‘vital’ BRITAIN’S ambassador to Spain has told expatriates it is ‘vital’ they and their families are properly registered in an update on Brexit and political developments in Westminster. Simon Manley said Britain’s new Prime Minister Boris Johnson had been ‘absolutely clear’ the country would leave the EU on Thursday October 31, with or without a deal. British nationals need to be registered before that date to ensure they can benefit from measures outlined by the Spanish government covering a nodeal outcome, including on healthcare and residency, Manley added. “It is essential we prepare for the possibility of a no-deal, which is what we’re going to do,” the ambassador said. He added that the Brits in Spain Facebook page hosted a Q&A session on Tuesday. Manley’s comments come as Boris Johnson’s entry into 10 Downing Street ratcheted up the prospect of Britain leaving the EU without a deal. Johnson has repeatedly said he would prefer to leave with a deal but that it Brexit must happen by the October deadline, ‘do or die.’ His new ministerial appointments, which include making Brexiteers Dominic Raab and Jacob Rees-Mogg Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Commons respectively, also signalled a turn towards a harder Brexit line than predecessor Theresa May.

No-deal ‘very real’
Logistics worries
By Joe Gerrard BRITAIN’S government has ratcheted up preparations for a no-deal Brexit since its new prime minister took office little over a week ago, with one minister calling the prospect ‘very real.’ Michael Gove wrote in the Sunday Times that the government was now ‘working on the assumption’ Britain would leave the EU without a deal on Thursday October 31. “We still hope the EU will change their minds, but we must operate on the assumption that they will not. Nodeal is now a very real prospect and we must make sure that we are ready,” Gove wrote. Prime Minister Boris Johnson appointed Gove the new Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. The role does not traditionally have fixed responsibilities attached to it, but Gove has been tasked to oversee the government’s no-deal planning as part of the position.

ment’s number one priority. “We are optimistic about the future but we are realistic about the need to plan for every eventuality.” He also wrote the government would continue to push ‘intensely’ for a new Brexit settlement with the EU. Johnson’s victory in the Conservative leadership contest was always expected to be the harbinger of a hardening Brexit stance from London. But the pace of Johnson’s recali-
brating of the government’s approach has shown he is committed and willing to allow a no-deal. New Chancellor Sajid Javid echoed Johnson and Gove’s line in an interview with British media in which he pledged an at least extra €1 billion for no-deal preparations. The government is also reportedly drawing up a no-deal emergency budget for early October to have ready if necessary.

US Marine hit and run A US Marine accused of two vehicle thefts has been arrested after he knocked a Guardia Civil officer off his motorbike, leaving the victim seriously hurt with multiple injuries. The arrested man is stationed at the US military base in Rota (Cadiz). It was from there that he allegedly stole a high-end car on June 17. He is said to have gone on a joy ride, causing two accidents in the process, before abandoning the car in the middle of the road. A military ID card was found in the vehicle. A day later he allegedly attempted to steal another car and then he took a van he found in Chipiona. When he was driving this van on the A-2078 road in Rota, he caught the attention of police when he made an illegal manoeuvre. He then allegedly ran over the police motorcyclist in a hit and run. The 33-year-old US sailor was arrested on June 21 for the first of the thefts, then arrested a second time on July 18 for the second series of incidents.

Joe is sharing his experience with EWN, and the amazing opportunities which have come his way as a result, helping him grow into the journalist he is today. Could this be for you? Here’s his story: “As the time comes to start the next chapter of my life and career, I can look back and reflect on my time here, and what a time it has been. I graduated with a masters degree in journalism late in 2017. After I decided to travel and set off on a journey from France through to Spain and ultimately to Euro Weekly News.
I applied for and was offered my first journalism job at the paper while travelling and started in January 2018. Within weeks I had gone to a press conference with British Consul for Southern Spain Charmaine Arbouin. By the summer of 2018 I had been given the opportunity to report for all our six papers, giving me the chance to learn more about areas popular with expatriates and other places further afield. I spoke to and interviewed several expatriates for stories. I was able to hone the skills I was taught at university while being able to view Spain, my new home, from a unique vantage point. I was also able to bring my skills to bear on one of my pet subjects, politics. I was fortunate to be reporting when history was made with the first successful no-confidence motion against a sitting Spanish government, which I covered. About a year ago I was giv-
en responsibility for the Costa del Sol edition of Euro Weekly News, one of the company’s biggest titles. Around the same time Euro Weekly News owner Michel Euesden offered me space to cover Spanish politics and Brexit. In my first job I was given the chance to choose stories, chose my own angle and report on my own terms, a generous vote of confidence in me. Those responsibilities opened more doors, including being interviewed by the BBC and The Guardian. I have been able to cut my teeth as both a local news reporter and as a political correspondent. But the time has come to move on. And now it is time to pass on the mantle to a new reporter. To anyone interested in joining the team I would say that if you are willing to put in the hard work, you will reap tremendous reward.”

The interview led authorities to several properties where the members of the group were arrested. All of those arrested were also of Nigerian nationality. Overall the police have made 11 arrests in connection with the group for the crime of sexual exploitation. It has been reported that the women were captured from Benin City (Nigeria) where they were promised a good life and well paid jobs. However once on mainland Spain they were subjected to ‘iron control’ and forcibly distributed across the Malaga Province to practise.

Father murdered son aged 11 A FATHER has stabbed his 11-year-old son to death then hanged himself. Police made the tragic discovery when the boy’s mother, who was estranged from the man, called them to say the boy was an hour and a half overdue from a scheduled visit to his father in the village of Beniel (Murcia). Local police officers and Guardia Civil went to his house with a key provided
by a relative, but could not open the door. They called in a locksmith who gained entry. It was then the police made their grim find – the body of the boy w a s lying in the hallway with stab wounds. The father’s corpse was hanging in the kitchen. B e fore going to the property, family members had warned law enforcement that David S.O. had engaged in suicidal behav-

AIR TRAVEL: Government red tape prevents new terror laws. SPAIN and Slovenia are the last two countries that haven’t yet approved new EU regulations to introduce new air passenger registration (PNR) to help combat terrorism. The aim of the new legislation is to monitor air travel movements to alert of any suspicious air movements and patterns in flights between certain countries. Details of travel itineraries
and schedules will have to be provided on booking and billing stages and luggage will be monitored. The European Commission issued an ultimatum to Spain on January 24 to fully implement PNR stating they had two months before they would be taken to the Court of Justice. S p a i n ’s S e c u r i t y C o m m i s sioner Julian King has explained
that Spain is doing all it can to implement the laws, but has had trouble passing it through congress due to the problems that the government is currently undergoing. The new anti-terror laws have been implemented by other member states since May 2018, announced as part of a larger scheme which also aims to regulate weapons export and money laundering processes.

Young musicians from the UK SEVENTY-FIVE musicians from the Wolverhampton Music Service’s Youth Orchestra and Youth Wind Orchestra travelled to Spain this summer to perform in a series of festivals across the Palencia region. The musicians performed classic compositions from Holst, Rossini, Borodin, Sparke, Smetana and Kabalevsky. Wolverhampton Council’s cabinet member for education and skills Councillor Dr Hardacre said: “Every year the two orchestras take part in a foreign tour at the start of the summer break.” Palencia is a town in northern Spain famous for its culture and architecture and the perfect backdrop for their musical talents. The trip has been sponsored by local businesses and charities and the town’s rotary clubs. Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Claire Darke praised the youngsters, “My congratulations and best wishes for the future go to all of them.”

New betting regulations AS part of the new National Commission in control of tackling sports corruption which EWN reported on last month, Spain’s DGOJ has approved new legislations that prohibit betting organisations from offering wagers on under-18 sanctioned sporting events. The main reason for the ruling is to create a clear distinction between categories and to protect the integrity of sports involving minors. The official terminology of the legislation is under the umbrella term ‘underage sports events’ and it defines it as ‘all sporting events categorised as ‘sub-18’ age range by organising committees, regardless of the actual age of participating athletes.’ The new rules will come into effect with the publishing of Spain’s next state regulatory bulletin, dates of which have not been revealed. This comes as part of a wider scheme organised by the DGOJ, the Guardia Civil, the National Police and Spain’s Higher Sports Council to clamp down on betting fraud and corruption in sporting events in Spain.

Spain taken to court over 112 failures SPAIN, along with Croatia , the Czech Republic, Germany and Greece have been taken to EU courts in Brussels for ‘breaking
the rules of emergency number 112, unjustified geographical blocking and cyber security rules.’
The European Commission (EC) opened a case against Spain for multiple breaches in the 2002 guidelines for emergency numbers, especially in regards to usage for disabled and the impaired. The Spanish Committee of Representatives of Persons with Disabilities (CERMI) brought light to the shortcomings in the 112 system during a statement released earlier in the year, and the news that the EU will be ‘forcing’ Spain to act has come as a welcome announcement. “The emergency telephone number 112 is not accessible to people with sensory disabilities,” explained a spokesperson for CERMI. They explained they feel the reasons for the breaches in regulations are due to the Civil Protection (PC) “considering the accessibility of the 112 a minor matter.” Brussels has given the countries two months to respond to the allegations and are warned that if the responses do not satisfy the board, action will be taken.

New safety scheme for young women hailed a success A NEW scheme pioneered by police at the Santurtzi Festival in northern Spain has been praised for providing young female festival goers a safer experience during the late night festivities. The scheme, a collaboration between the Santurtzi local council and police force, involves a free minibus that will transport the minors to and from the festival under the supervision of security and police personnel. Once the young women have been dropped off at their destination they are monitored
by the accompanying police officer to ensure they get through their door safely. The new scheme comes after a plethora of sex attacks have been reported this year at festivals and ferias across the country. Local culture councillor Danel Bringas said of the project, “the aim is to avoid minors being caught up in dangerous situations, in particular in the case of women who live in remote areas where they could be subjected to threats, propositions, unpleasant insinuations or violent situations.”
The minibus was first used at last year’s Cármenes de Santurtzi festival and was used by a total of 388 young women. One young girl has used the service every night, because, she says, she has to use “streets with no lighting” to get home. “After a certain time of night this all gets crazy,” says the girl. “People don’t know what they are doing and anything could happen to you.” The scheme has now been used by a number of localities across the country and has had similar positive feedback.

The distribution of images of this nature without the person’s consent carries a prison term of up to one year as well as compensation to the victim for moral damages. The Zamora police pointed out that the crime is ‘particularly difficult to manage as once the photos are online they are then public property and can be shared an infinite number of times.’

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

COSTA WOMEN founder, Ali Meehan, chatted to Jill Leonard who started ‘Local Fire & Weather Watch’ on Facebook in 2012 after the fires which devastated parts of the Costa del Sol. The groups now have more than 35,000 members in their geographically based groups around Spain warning of fires or adverse weather conditions. Q. You head up an amazing group of Facebook pages - Local Fire and Weather Watch how did that start? A. It was created just a few days after the massive fire near Coin in 2012. The one thing I found during the three days of the fire was that information was flying all over Facebook pages and groups. At one time I had at least 10 tabs open, all with varying degrees of information; some of it correct and some of it pure speculation. That in itself was enough to prompt me into trying to offer a more organised method of reporting factual information. This was then extended to include weather problems, once the floods started in winter. I just felt that a more constructive way of presenting information was called for. Q. What are the objectives of the group? A. To provide factual information from both

It is a massive commitment for the volunteer administrators. If anyone is interested in joining us, new administrator help is a priority for us at the moment!

Cooking show in hot water over Catalan remark VIDEO streaming service Netflix has once again caused controversy between unionalists and separatists during a family cooking programme. ‘The Big Family Cooking Showdown’ is a UK-based reality cooking show and during one of the episodes, the contestants were asked to name where a specific dish originated. The contestant innocently answered, “Spain?” The presenter corrected the contestant saying, “You are close, it’s Catalan Fish Stew.” This response caused frenzy on social media
following the airing. Spanish viewers of the programme tweeted comments such as; ‘Is it that Cataluña is not Spain? That translation even offends.’ Of course the comment also caught the attention of pro Catalan independence supporters. This is not the first time Netflix has left Spanish viewers scratching their heads recently. Last month EWN reported on how the new Adam Sandler film Murder Mystery, streaming on the service, apparently ‘grossly misrepresented’ the Malaga region.

HEPATITIS C: Estimates suggest that up to 70,000 people in Spain are living unknowingly with the disease.
Scheme to combat hepatitis C A STUDY by Javier García-Samaniego, head of hepatology at HU La Paz, estimates between 50,000 and 70,000 people are living with the disease unknowingly. The scheme is designed to spread the message for people to get screened for the disease, which
involves only a blood test. The disease, which if caught early, is completely curable, and early screening can prevent a host of related illnesses. Last year in Spain, 130,000 people were treated using localised antibiotics. Carmelo Gomez has
become a face for the campaign after he found out he had the disease during a blood donation. He explains that having the disease is like a “movie that started badly, but it’s going to end well because the end of the history of hepatitis C is in our hands.”

British expat woman dies in Spanish house fire A BRITISH woman has died in a house fire in Northern Spain. Named only as Michelle I. M., the 58-yearold was living alone in a house in La Civera, a neighbourhood of the village of Olba (Teruel). Just the four walls were left standing after flames swept through the two-storey building. Neighbour Carlos Villacreces said that the walls of the house “made a kind of chimney through which the flames were going out.” He alerted emergency services who raced to the scene, but it was too late to save Michelle, who
was described as “a kind and good woman.” Once the fire had been extinguished, police had to wait for smoke to clear and the heat from the fierce fire to die down before entering the property. They discovered the body about two metres from the front door. The victim had lived in the area for more than 10 years and owned several properties which she let out. The town council has made contact with Michelle’s family, who live in the UK.
Paternity payout A WOMAN has been ordered to pay her ex-husband €62,000 for hiding for three years that the real father of his daughter was a workmate of hers. The sentence, which is still appealable, says that the woman did not tell her husband when her colleague took a paternity test proving paternity. The husband and wife had been engaged between 2003
and 2007, when he entered a seminary but resumed their relationship in March 2009. They maintained a "relationship of chastity". Although they had only one "not complete, no penetration" sexual relationship, a girl was born in August 2010, between nine and ten months later. According to the judicial report from a Madrid court, the woman had an on/off sexual re-

Paloma Park at 10pm tonight. Alezeia Teatro’s play is an adaptation of the ancient classic by Euripides which follows Medea who learns her husband wants to cast her away to marry the King of Corinth’s daughter. Suspicion and plots follow in the tragedy. “The theatre could not be missing from the Culture in the Street programme, given Benalmadena’s love of it as shown in other culture cycles,” Galan said. The adaptation has seen Teatro awarded honours including the Best Greco-Latin choir prize in a 2012 competition and one for the best Stage and Scenography in Diputacion de Malaga awards in 2011.
MORE than 250 street lights are set to be replaced with new LED bulbs to cut costs and reduce Benalmadena’s emissions output.

THE evolution of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics is a worry for a large portion of the world, especially Europe which is reportedly facing a potential pandemic as a strain of the bacterium Klebsiella Pneumoniae has killed thousands of people over the past decade.
European medics’ bacteria fears Over 2,000 patients who contracted Klebsiella Pneumoniae were studied and according to the Spanish researchers’ results more than half of the

cases that turned out lethal began in hospitals as a result of an infection. Doctors generally prescribe Carbapenemas in these situations as the
last line of defence against aggressive infections. The Centre For Genomic Pathogen Surveillance in Spain concluded that
patients who contracted the resilient strain of Klebsiella Pneumoniae were liable to spread it from hospital to hospital due to the overexposure of antibiotics and bacteria. The rogue bacteria have apparently evolved with enzymes that can break down Carbapenemas.
Special needs pupil ‘forced to list disliked traits’ THE father of a 10-year-old boy with special needs has told British media his son was made to list the reasons classmates did not like him.
Damian Lightoller said his son, who has traits of autism, ADHD and a host of other conditions, brought a drawing home at the end of the school
year. He was studying at Allenton Community Primary School in Derby. The picture featured a drawing of him surrounded by phrases he was made to write including: ‘stop shouting’ and ‘stop annoying us.’ The words ‘Be happy, not sad’ were written at the top of the page. A drawing of the 10year-old in the centre was accompanied by a thought bubble with the words: ‘How can I get the other children to like me?’ written inside. Lightoller said: “My son’s mentor sat him down and asked the other children why they didn’t like him, and tried to tell him to change those things. “My son sought help from a teacher, and rather than discipline the other children for bullying, the mentor blamed the victim and said ‘well you need to not do this’.” School headteacher Jon Fordham said the session was ‘restorative justice,’ according to Lightoller. The school itself declined to comment.

EAT ONLY: Doctors have warned against this intimate way of cooling down.
Doctors warn against ‘intimate’ ways to cool down DOCTORS in Britain have warned women of a new trend that is apparently sweeping the nation to help cool down during the sweltering temperatures currently engulfing Europe. Apparently the new thing is to put ice lollies into their intimate areas to lower their body temperature! Dr Sarah Welsh of Cambridge University Hospital has specifically warned of the dangers of doing this to the health of their private parts. As if people needed reminding, the main
reason against practising this is that inserting food items into the vagina introduces microbes and bacteria into the body which can cause infections and damage the natural ph levels. The ice can also attach to the delicate skin inside the woman’s body and can cause real trauma. Dr Welsh advises that people should take more traditional measures to beat the heat such as, taking cool showers, staying hydrated and keeping your home cool.
Football ace attacked FORMER Real Madrid player Mesut Özil may be wishing he was still living in Spain after he and fellow Arsenal player Sead Kolasinac were targeted by knife-wielding thugs in London. While Özil took refuge in his SUV in the face of the attempted assault, Kolasinac - nicknamed The Tank - confronted the robbers, swinging his fists at them, before joining his teammate in the Mercedes G-Class 4X4 at 5pm last Thursday (July 25). The players sped off only for their assailants to follow on motorbikes in what must have been
a terrifying ordeal. Eventually the Arsenal stars abandoned their car about a mile away and took refuge in a Turkish restaurant. The incident shows the increased boldness of thieves in the streets of London and other parts of the UK. A few weeks ago, comedian Michael McIntyre was robbed in London’s Golders Green at a spot near to this incident. He too was set upon by a moped gang who smashed his car up with hammers outside his children’s school then forced him to hand over a £15,000 watch.
‘False’ rape claims CYPRIOT police officers have arrested a 19-year-old British woman in connection with alleged false rape claims at the Ayia Napa resort town. Investigators said 12 Israelis arrested over the allegations have now been released. All the detainees denied the allegations. Police spokesperson Christos Andreou said the 19-yearold would appear in court this week. Britain’s Foreign Office has confirmed it has assisted a woman and her family after the arrest.
As far as Özil is concerned, professionally he may be happier in London, but when it comes to personal safety he might have felt better off in Spain. The country comes 201st on a list of nations by homicide rate compared to the UK’s 185. Such figures are blunt, but there is no doubt a perception by many people that Spain is a far safer country on which to walk the streets than the UK, particularly in the major cities. Website Numbeo collates real time data from contributors on people’s perceptions of crime. When it comes to a comparison of London to Madrid, it is clear people feel safer in the Spanish capital. It’s Crime Index measured London’s at 52.09 compared to 30.57 for Madrid, while London was classified as high risk for break-ins and thefts compared to Madrid’s low risk status, Many expats in Spain have said in previous studies that a major reason for moving to the country was to find a more secure place to live.

By Joe Gerrard 2018. The rise was caused in part because of costs from the purchase of British bank TSB last year. In the finance sector more broadly, insurance company Mapfre made €374 million, 2.9 per cent less than last year.

In the telecommunications sector Vodafone made more than €1 billion, a 10.3 per cent drop on last
year’s figures. Company sources said its decision not to offer promotions was undermined when its rivals chose not to follow suit. Basque operator Euskaltel made €22.9 million, 20.5 per cent less than in the same period in 2018. Losses came despite 4,000 new customers signing up for their services, company sources said.

New UK government and central bank outlooks keep currency markets on edge
ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday
Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
Euro EUR/GBP: Unmoved at £0.89 EUR/USD: Down from $1.13 to $1.11 The euro (EUR) spent much of July with mixed movement, as its rival the US dollar (USD) recovered and the shared currency outlook became increasingly gloomy due to concerns about the eurozone’s economy. Eurozone economic activity, especially in the manufacturing sector and especially in Germany, has been showing signs of prolonged weakness and slowdown. Hopes for the eurozone economy to be rebounding from the slowdown seen earlier in the year have largely faded. Due to these lasting economic fears, markets have become more convinced that the European Central Bank (ECB) will ease monetary policy before the end of the year. The ECB signalled as much in its

policy decision this week. However, ECB President Mario Draghi kept markets from getting too jittery, as he was less gloomy about the economy than many had suspected. Still, investors will keep a close eye on eurozone data over the coming month, as it may indicate what
stimulus measures the ECB will adopt when it meets in September. Pound GBP/EUR: Unmoved at €1.12 GBP/USD: Down from $1.27 to $1.24 Once again among the worst-performing major currencies, the pound (GBP) continued to be throt-
tled over the past month, by fears that a no-deal Brexit was becoming an increasingly plausible outcome to the long Brexit process. As expected, hard Brexit advocate Boris Johnson won the Conservative Party leadership contest by a wide margin and became Britain’s new Prime Minister. Many fellow ‘Brexiteers’ have been selected for Johnson’s government cabinet, making economists anxious that a worst-case scenario no-deal Brexit will indeed be more likely. Brexit fears have only been part of the pound’s reason for weakness, as recent UK data continues to show signs of economic activity being weakened by uncertainty. This has caused Bank of England (BoE) interest rate cut speculation to rise as well. UK politics and the Brexit plans of the Johnson government are like-
ly to remain in focus for the pound. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.78 to £0.80 USD/EUR: Up from €0.87 to €0.89 Following brief periods of weakness in June, the US dollar (USD) has been able to benefit from broad weakness in both the pound (GBP) and euro (EUR) to put in solid gains for much of July. While Federal Reserve interest rate cut bets have risen significantly, with analysts expecting multiple US interest rate cuts over the next year, weakness in US dollar rivals has prevented the currency from suffering too much. Of course, with the Federal Reserve’s July policy decision due to take place next week, the US dollar could be in for big movement in the coming weeks depending on the action and tone the bank takes.

Bank hiring row goes on SANTANDER has accused a prospective CEO of engaging in unethical behaviour by recording conversations between himself and senior company staff. The bank claimed Andrea Orcel, who was set to be Santander’s new CEO until it withdrew the offer, recorded conversations during the final phase of negotiations for the position. Bank president Ana Botin said a final contract for the role, which carried a salary of €17 million, ‘never materialised.’ His recording of conversations showed ‘dubious ethical and moral qualities’ which were not befitting the CEO of a bank, the president added. It comes after Orcel threatened to take Santander to court claiming they rescinded on their offer leaving him jobless. He is seeking more than €100 million in compensation from the bank. Botin said Orcel’s hiring process was conducted in good faith and carried out according to ‘solid’ corporate governance standards. Orcel is attempting to pin his case on an offer letter he signed for the company. But Botin said the letter had no legal validity.
Pension cost rise THE Spanish state spent almost €9.7 billion a month on pension payments from the start of July, an increase of more than 7 per cent year-on-year government figures show. Data from the Labour Ministry showed the amount allocated to pension spending represented a new record. It comes as the number of pensioners grew by 1.2 per cent from July 2018 to this year, reaching more than 9.7 million. July is the 42nd consecutive month in which pension costs have risen. The average retirement pension was around €1,138 a month as of July 1, almost 5 per cent higher than the previous year. The average general pension was about €991 a month when payouts for permanent disabilities, widowhood and orphans are taken into account. Retirement pensions account for almost two thirds of the more than 9.7 million total at more than six million. Almost 2.4 million widows’ pensions are paid out, more than 959,220 go to recipients with permanent disabilities, while more than 341,330 go to orphans. Government figures showed eight regions spent more on pensions than the national average. The top spenders were
BUSINESS EXTRA
Bank to avoid negative rate CAIXABANK has said it will not apply negative interest rates to private deposits despite ‘strong pressure’ on the company to bring them in from the current economic situation, CEO Gonzalo Gortazar said.
Railway cash THE Spanish government has earmarked €95.8 million for maintenance projects across its non-high speed rail network for the next three years, with works due to fix signalling, detection systems and other devices. INCREASE: The Spanish state is spending more on pensions. the Basque Country with more than €1,230 a month, Asturias with almost €1,170 and the Madrid Region with more than €1,160. Extremadura, Galicia and Murcia all spend less than the national average with around €826, more than €841 and more than €873 respectively. Pensions continue to be a contentious issue for the Spanish government and
retirees. Proposed increases of fractions of a percent from the previous conservative Partido Popular (PP) government sparked mass demonstrations across the country. Pension costs continue to climb as Spain’s population ages, meaning more people will receive payouts, but there will be fewer taxpayers supporting the system.
Firms probe THE National Commission for Markets and Securities (CNMC) has launched an investigation into 13 companies which operate Spain’s highway network over allegations they engaged in anti-competitve practices, including forming cartels and collusion to distribute contracts among themselves.

A weekend of highlights
LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WHAT a weekend that was. Not only did I watch with glee and satisfaction, reruns of the destruction of Corbyn’s bunch of seedy, glum faced and utterly miserable losers, by a buoyant Boris and a rib-tickling Rees Mogg - who managed to put forth arguments and positive ideas to the House in a language that the opposition couldn’t even understand, leave alone find credible answers for (Diana Abbott is still Googling up most of the words as we speak!), but I also discovered I had won yet another £15 million in a lottery; a game of chance that I have no recollection of, but is nevertheless kindly being held for me by the American Ambassador to Nigeria who wants to arrange a meet to hand it over. He will be arriving in the UK next week and has requested I send my address and phone number, so he can ‘deliver the package in person!’ Before I do that, I must urgently (‘before time will be against us’) send $280 to the cargo registration officer, a Mr Nwabundo Iscanyi Benjami in Lagos Nigeria.

fact, that is precisely how it panned out this weekend. After attending yet another tedious, but necessary specialist appointment in the UK (Don’t worry folks there’s life in the old canine yet!), I took up the kind invitation of some old friends to join them in a couple of days of frol-
ics in the depths of the beautiful Norfolk countryside. One of the weekend highlights was the summer variety show on the historic and quintessentially British, Cromer pier. Picked up by a coach (what else!) with the delightful title of ‘Marriots Chariots’ prominently displayed on its side, the highly skillful ‘charioteer’ wove us through the meandering byways and hedgerow flanked ‘low ways,’ till we soon found our selves savouring the sight of the crashing waves and slate grey briny of our Cromer seaside destination. Naturally, in true British tradition, the crippling Sahara record- breaking conditions had changed overnight and the wind, although not cold, was whistling across the bay, whipping up the surf and, once again in true British fashion, completely undeterring a whole family of swimmers and surfers frolicking happily on the stony grey and swirling foreshore. The end of the pier show was utterly delightful with all the rich British content and humour one would expect from this most local of traditions. Surrounded exclusively by the accents of dear old GB and even regaled at one stage by the National Anthem, my pint glass positively overflowed. A million thanks to all concerned.

Visuel CONSULAR MATTERS THE presentation given by a group of Danish artists called VISUEL is a special occasion, but if this presentation also takes place in one of the most special towns on the coast, such as Nerja, my consular duty is transformed into a personal pleasure, a welcome relief from running my firm on the Costa Del Sol. Starting on July 18, 2019 the work of a dozen Danish artists has been exhibiting in the Nerja Museum under the title of ‘Underground’ in triptych format. The title of the exhibition was very appropriate for two reasons, firstly the artists drew from the deepest of their souls and this is reflected in their different artistic ex-
pressions. Secondly the exhibition is in the room that is located in the basement of the Nerja Museum, which makes the works more intimate and closer. When Caroline Krabbe, one of the artists of the exhibition, asked me to give a speech at the exhibition’s opening ceremony, I rearranged my schedule as this was an event that I wanted to attend and be part of the moment. A summer night in Nerja and enjoying art is one of the most attractive offers I receive as Trade Delegate for Andalucia and Extremadura. Caroline belongs to a family of reputed Danish artists who have been based for many years in Frigiliana. She belongs to a family that combines in a wise and discreet way two creative universes, the Danish and the south of Spain. Caroline managed for many years probably the only art gallery

Summer nights
MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING THE summer is certainly heating up! It’s so important to keep well hydrated, ensure babies and kids wear hats and are always protected from the sun even when just walking around (us too for that matter) and that dogs are not left in cars or taken out preferably during the day; its just too hot. The evenings are usually a little cooler and so it’s very pleasant to go out particularly as we’re spoilt for choice of where to go: there is that much on at the moment and it’s concert season. This week I went back to Starlite for the first time since it opened a few years back. I was eager to see John Legend, but not keen on the thought of having to tackle the parking and the onward trek up the mountain on the minibuses. However, what a difference in everything; they really do seem to have got it together. The organisation at the car park was the first

blessing I hadn’t expected. There were loads of youngsters (and a few not so youngsters) guiding the way for the cars into the car park, which was arranged in an orderly fashion, easy to negotiate (albeit so much dust walking back to the stadium from all the other cars still driving in that next time a face
mask may be in order). The walk wasn’t as long though as I’d recalled as a new side entrance was available with quick and speedy service to the top. The venue was buzzing with lights, music and places to eat and drink (all with queues that exceeded my patience) but a host of options and a
great, vibrant atmosphere leading up to the start of the concert. Camilo and Alvaro from the Press office were charming and very welcoming. We were led to our appointed spot to report on the event which just happened to be a cordoned off section in a VIP area.
This meant I could at last easily get a drink and from where I got to enjoy the show in all its glory. As the stadium was packed I didn’t stay until the end for fear of being hours leaving the car park, but I don’t think that will have been the case when I return for Pablo Alboran: I won’t want to miss a note regardless of the potential traffic consequences! The real highlight for me however is ‘The Jacksons’ coming up next Thursday August 8 at Puente Romano Tennis Club. I am so very looking forward to it as I love the venue and I have been a Michael fan since as long as I can remember. Those of you who also grew up with The Jacksons’ cartoons on a Saturday morning and have danced and sung along to all their songs over the years will probably also be equally enthusiastic for this concert, so I look forward to seeing you there and to another perfect summer night.

No 1 Bentley Blower roars again NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England BENTLEY CARS has revealed a homage to the legendary No 1 Bentley Blower of 1929. Billed as a modern interpretation of a classic racing car and limited to just 100 examples worldwide. No doubt if you have not been offered one already then you are probably not on the list of probable buyers. And yet. Created by Mulliner the coachwork or bespoke division of Bentley Cars to mark the Centenary of the Marque the
Continental GT Convertible Number 1 Edition by Mulliner draped in Dragon Red paint.
bespoke specifications include 18-carat gold plated fender badging, a painted Number 1 on the front grille and a remarkable piece of history, cast from a piston from the original No 1 set within the innovative Bentley Rotating Display. Hand crafted in England and during Bentley’s centenary year this car in the last of the three Limited editions marking the Centenary Trilogy. The previous two being the Bentley Mulsanne WO Edition introduced in 2018 and the Continental GT Number 9 revealed earlier this year. The Number 1 Edition is based on a 6.0-litre W12 Continental Convertible
the ‘ultimate grand tourer.’ Offering agile and exhilarating performance the Number 1 Edition recalls the remarkable car that was responsible for some of the most memorable moments in Bentley’s illustrious past. A further accent is a distinctive wheel

spinner, cast from a piston from the No 1 taken during restoration work. As well as a Bentley Black Line Specification and Carbon Body Kit, the Limited Edition is offered in Dragon Red or Beluga exterior paint, a claret or Beluga folding hood. Inside a new colour split of either Cricket Ball or Beluga main hide is complemented by Heritage hide on the seats and door pads with a debossed B insignia on the headrests and door inserts. The Grand Black wood veneer is enhanced by 18-carat gold plated organ stops and an Alcantara steering wheel and gear lever. Meanwhile passengers step across a Number 1 treadplate insert as they enter the luxurious cabin. As well as a British Jaeger clock featuring a Number 1 face , the uniquely crafted dashboard also incorporates Engine Spin on the centre console, often referred to as ‘Turned Aluminium’ Engine spin was a popular car and aviation finish in the 1920s and 1930s due to its property of limited light reflection. Few companies celebrate a century. Fewer still have a racing heritage as distinguished as Bentley Cars. The No 1 Edition by Mulliner is not a footnote, though several feet will be blowing a tune on these select cars’ engines I have no doubt. Nick Horne, London, England

AT this time of year, air travel’s uppermost in many people’s minds. Not always a pleasant experience what with queuing, flight delays, threats of strikes etc. But let’s look at another problem: reclining seats in economy class. You know, when the guy in front must have loosened an extra bolt in the seat base - because he’s effectively in your lap. And bang! There go your laptop, drinks and food! On long haul, ideally you should only be able to recline seats an hour or so after the main meal has been served. Problem sorted! But if there is a problem, why not speak out (politely) rather than sulking and taking a picture for social media - which everyone seems to do nowadays? But symptomatic of the ‘snowflake generation’ that seems to say to itself: I have a problem, but rather than fix it I’ll post a bunch of messages declaring how ****** off I am, hoping that the silent indignation and smiley faces will somehow make it all go away... Flying used to be fun, but I’m talking about the ‘80s and even earlier. Since then, flying’s become increasingly punishing as the seat cushions in cattle class have become thinner

Flying by the seat of their pants - passengers and pilots
AIR TRAVEL: Not always a pleasant experience. like some absurd time lapse torture. So, thinner seat cushions, less leg room due to shorter seat pitch and skimpy food service plus lengthy waits on the tarmac have all eroded what used to be a reasonably convenient and pleasant form of travel. Some time ago, a neighbour decided to finally give up flying after a lifetime of it. Dreadful airports, dreadful security, dreadful overcrowding, strikes, delays, screaming kids, harassed parents and centre seatmates who hog both armrests and glare at you ominously if you dare to object. So, he’s now committed to staying in the UK or travelling elsewhere
only by ferry or trains. He swears he won’t ever miss boarding a plane again. Too true, especially if Ryanair pilots vote to strike this summer and dig their, err, chocks in for the, err, long haul... Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.norajohnson.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and (now) audiobook.

What a fine old mess! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I SAW on the news that there is a scumbag American financier called Jeffrey Epstein being accused again of having sex with underage women. OK, let’s get this clear there is no such thing as ‘an underage woman.’ She’s a child!! And he is a paedophile. If he is guilty, bang him up and throw the key away instead of repeating the pittance of a sentence he got in 2008. I got a letter from my insurance company the other day informing me that I had got a speeding fine. It said: ‘We are contacting you because we have located the publication of a notice related to the vehicle registration number xxxxxxx.’ The information in this notification is as follows: and it then goes on to tell when and where and how much the fine was. I ‘phoned them and asked how they knew about it before I did. They told me that these notices go into this publication if Trafico do not get a response from the second letter they send to the owner of the vehicle.
Well you know where this is going. I never got a second letter. In fact, I never got a first letter. I find this strange because there is someone on our gate 24/7 and Correos know that even if he’s away for a few minutes, they only have to wait a short time. I don’t believe I was sent anything. The person on the ‘phone informed me that this is not unusual. I was fortunate. I paid it straight away and managed to get the maximum discount on my fine. Now not every company gives this service, so I was lucky. I was relating this story to my mate and he told me a horror story about how he had a fine that he never knew anything about and he finished up with a horrendous fine. The first thing he knew about it was when his bank account was embargoed and even though he protested, they were not interested and insisted that the letters had been sent. I have had similar experiences here with letters from the town hall or other official places where it’s something to do with a payment. I mean, they would never tell porkies about these letters just to get a bit of extra dosh would they? Or would they? Let me know if you have had any experiences of fine letters going missing.

LEGALLY SPEAKING
A better system for proxies Some years ago, our Community of Property Owners had the same problem regarding proxy votes as your earlier questioner. When residents realised that their wishes were not necessarily carried out by the proxy holder, discontent arose. When I became president, I instructed our administrators to include all Agenda items on the proxy form. Voters could then put a tick against each item to vote Yes/No/Abstain. This ensures that their wishes are respected. This system is normal practice among large corporations for their AGM, particularly for electing committee/board members. We have used this method for many years and it works. R N (Costa Blanca) Thank you for your excellent suggestion. YOU AND THE The proxy forms LAW IN SPAIN with the Agenda items can be sent out to the community members as part of the information package announcing the Annual General Meeting, which should include the Minutes of the previous meeting, the Agenda itself, the financial report and the proposed budget for the coming year. The member can then deliver the filled-in and signed form to the person he wishes to vote his proxy at the AGM. The forms are collected at the end of the meeting.

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene
ANYONE who remembers Jose Maria Aznar’s ‘Leave, Sr Gonzalez’ in the mid-1990s felt the cockles of their heart warming up at the sight of the two ex-presidents talking together in Madrid. They were speaking at a technology forum moderated by the former Partido Popular Minister of Defence, Eduardo Serra and inevitably politics overlaid many of the questions and replies. How reassuring to hear voices of reason cutting through the highpitched hysterical babble of the preInvestiture debates and commentaries, old-timers declared. The old foes could safely ignore their successors’ red lines because Gonzalez has never come out as a full-fat Sanchista, while Aznar hinted that he believes Pablo Casado’s PP should abstain and enable Sanchez to govern. It almost fooled those who were around at the height of Gonzalez-Aznar enmity into sighing for the good old days. Those days never existed and Gon-

The good old days zalez and Aznar were only prepared to chat amicably because neither is important to national politics and both know they no longer influence them.
Seen and not seen VOX is everything Spain has fled from since Francisco Franco’s death in 1975.
Santiago Abascal’s party hardly echoes the thoughts and feelings of the majority of the population, but what you see is what you get. They might be bigots but they aren’t hypocrites. The same can’t be said for Podemos at the other end of Spain’s political spectrum. Strictly speaking it’s Unidas
Podemos which incorporates Izquierda Unida, the former Communist party. IU and its leader Alberto Garzon command respect but have little clout and the lead singer is Pablo Iglesias. He wouldn’t let Pedro Sanchez enter the Moncloa in March 2016 and he’s doing his damnedest to prevent it in 2019.
No need for a love-in
IT’S not a bad idea to have coalition government whose members are not enamoured of each other. A little mutual distrust and ill-disguised resentment is always more convincing than false smiles and promises of partnership made in heaven. Remember the cringe-making David CameronNick Clegg love-in at the 10 Downing Street garden in May 2010? Remember how it went pear-shaped in 2012 and ended belly-up in 2015? But a coalition is something that Spain has yet to experience and judging by the Investiture debacle it won’t happen in the foreseeable future. Downing Street.
With martyred altruism Iglesias said before the failed Investiture debate that he would forego the vicepresidency that was his due. He knew the bargain he still intended to drive would scupper any chance of a coalition on Sanchez’s terms and prevent his return to the Moncloa. Iglesias did so while preaching democracy but not practising it. Worse in his own way than Abascal because the Podemos supremo is both a hypocrite and a bigot.
A right old twoand-eight OH, the gloating! Oh, the pleasure on the faces of Pablo Casado and Albert Rivera when Iglesias gave an encore of his 2016 party trick and prevented Pedro Sanchez from becoming president last week. The Right might be at sixes and sevens, but it’s nothing compared to the Left’s two-and-eight.

In total agreement BRILLIANT, couldn’t agree with you more (‘What if’ Manifesto Issue 1776). Once again, brilliant. Best regards. Loraine and Tony
No vote DEAR Leapy, Having just read your ‘what if’ manifesto (Issue 1776), twice, so I was clear. YOU WOULD GET MY VOTE! Cheers Fiona
Possible backlash DEAR Leapy Lee Totally agree with you on items of your manifesto (Issue 1776). Unfortunately difficult for people that agree with you to be outspoken on these matters as would be called RxxxxT. Good Luck Sue Gell
In support DEAR Leapy It was with great delight we read and reread your article (‘What if’ manifesto, Issue 1776). Our top 10 are as follows 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 16, 18, 23 and in top place should without any doubt be number 9 - regards introduction of two years national service. Keeping on with your thinking because we really enjoy your article every week. Best regards, Lynda and Laurence Patterson
Man in charge COME on Leapy I know you have said before you are not interested in standing for Parliament, but let’s face it you are the man for the job.With you as the new Prime minister we might just stand a chance of putting the GREAT back in BRITAIN. Anyway keep up the good work of spreading common sense. Regards, Tony
Missed opportunity I READ the news of Spain’s PSOE and Podemos failing to agree to a coalition with despair and I see it as a missed opportunity. I had looked forward to a new government that would serve the interests of workers here in Spain rather than those of big business. As a Brit I have watched as right-wing governments there and in Spain loot and pillage their countries to serve their corporate puppet masters. Taxes for the wealthiest have been slashed while ordinary people have been punished with bru-

OUR VIEW Good plan, bad cause A BUS and police escort service put on for young women attending a festival in the Basque Country is welcome, but also a damning indictment on Spain’s gender violence issue. Santurtzi Council and the Biscay Province town’s Local Police joined forces to bus young women in and out of the Carmenes de Santurtzi fiesta. Santurtzi Council culture spokesperson Danel Bringas said it aimed to avoid young women being targeted by ‘threats, propositions, unpleasant insinuations or violent situations.’ One comment from a user was chillingly telling. She said: “After a certain time of night this all gets crazy. Anything could happen to you.” The last part underlines how pervasive the dangers facing women are in Spain. The beast of machismo, or gender violence culture, continues to prey on women and its appetite for victims appears boundless. Recent government figures show 35 women died in proven or alleged gender violence cases so far this year, the third worst figure in a decade. More than 1,000 have died since records began in 2003. Santurtzi’s scheme and others are welcome, but all they do is treat the symptoms and not the problem. Educating young men out of sexist and violent mindsets and treating addictions would go a long way. But ultimately society must be radically altered and the economy transformed to stop it manufacturing the poverty which spawns so much of the causes of the gender violence scourge.

Julen well case confirms cause of death The well was dangerous and anyone could have experienced the same fate, so he needs punishing. The parents must take some responsibility, however I imagine they are being punished daily for losing their son. Anne Brogan
COMMENTS FROM FACEBOOK
It’s sad that a life has been lost of someone so young but what does it serve to punish the land owner. Pragmatism would suggest the parents/person in charge of care at the time would be punished for child endangerment. Robbie Mc Miller
would be wrong to deny someone their freedom. As tragic as these cases are, they are extremely rare in the grand scheme of things. It is impossible for society to protect itself from every eventuality. Brian Photastic

Why would you give visiting rights to someone who has already has suicidal tendencies? Especially if a child is involved. I think the judge has a lot to answer for. Shocking lack of judgement. RIP little one. Condolences to the Mother. Jeni Potter
Threats left teenager scared to go out Sentence suspended for two years, this is hardly reassurance to any young person scared of threats similar to those this young person experienced. He’s still at large. He should be in prison, how can she be reassured? Penny Cameron
Boris Johnson officially UK prime minister Going by his past experience I’d say we are doomed. Ask anyone who knows him or has worked with him. However he did cause Brexit with his hack journalism and heading the Leave party, a political move on his part, he created the mess but I doubt he’ll clean it up. Katrina Edbrooke
POLL OF THE WEEK Tostada con tomate y aceite is one of the most traditional breakfasts in Spain! It consists of toast, tomato and olive oil, and is one of the most popular morning meals here. And a full English is... well, we’re sure you know! But for those who don’t, this UK legend usually consists of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, toast, beans and tomatoes.
Have you given up your homeland’s brekkie and swapped it for your adopted nation’s favourite? Or not? Answer 1: Tostada con tomate y aceite • Answer 2: Full English breakfast

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
This is a time to consider finances and keep your options open. Someone who tries to get a fast decision out of you by pushing you into a corner is doing you no favours. You will decide what (if anything) needs to be done when you are good and ready.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Keep things simple. Getting involved in other people's problems is not for you at the moment. It may be necessary to delay a decision to give yourself time to think. Could you manage a few days away somewhere? Maybe you could stay with a friend or relative. You need some peace and quiet on your own.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Although things are going pretty well, there are some things that could be just a little better organised. The time and money that this saves could be small, but it's the ongoing positive attitude that counts. There have been times recently when you have wondered if your progress on a certain matter would ever start up again.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) It is better if you don't get involved in any high profile, high risk business deals. Success is not assured. This is a time for financial consolidation. Count your pennies and see the pounds collecting in the future. On a cold winter’s night it can give a pleasant glow to realise your action during the summer is keeping you warm.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Partnerships see you leap ahead on something that was a bit stuck in the mud. A leap in your bank balance follows. Some quick decisions may be called for so it is better to share responsibilities, whatever the outcome. You have a chance to show just how clever you can be, but do it because it gives you personal satisfaction rather than to impress.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) After a hectic start to the week, things seem to have slowed down. Look carefully at what has happened, but remember that there is no point in worrying over something that you cannot change. Sitting tight and waiting for this period to pass could be the best solution. Certainly, it will prove less stressful than fighting a losing corner.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Money is good and this can make you over-confident. Beware bank managers offering loans in large amounts. Nothing is for free and you need to look carefully at interest rates right now. Another, more personal, investment also needs looking at right now. Are things going exactly the way you want them to?
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)
Cartoon by Audrey Quinton www.audreyq.co.uk
Aim a bit higher than usual and you may be surprised at your success. When seeing the bigger picture, you realise that it is not so daunting after all. If one person can do it, then so can another. It is a matter of how you approach it. What you have to ask yourself this week is why you should accept the minimum when the maximum is so close by.
Famous quote
‘
Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days later because he had been swallowed by a whale.” Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Writer
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This should be a great time for your finances. Any glitch is likely to be because you have overspent. Even if things still need close attention, you can win if you concentrate. A bit of plotting and planning can work wonders at the moment. Most of your big expenses are behind you and if you can just tighten that belt a wee bit more.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Although things seem fine, this is not a time to overstretch your finances. Spending a lot this week without thought is problematic later. This is a week of shifting and changing and that certainly means your finances. The other area is your social circle, where people come and go, sometimes without warning.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) This is not a particularly lucky week for you, so I would certainly advise caution. Gambling is not recommended. Being clever with money is as much about not spending it as about how you spend it. .
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Look at the long-term picture when considering money matters. What seems like a good deal now may not be so a few years down the line. Someone who appears to be telling a lie may simply have either misunderstood or have the wrong information.
ANCIENT: Horseshoe crabs evolved before the dinosaurs.
DID YOU KNOW?
Women’s wit
THE horseshoe crab has remained more or less evolutionary unchanged for at least 445 million years. The animal is known as a ‘living fossil’ because of its longevity. Its age means that it walked the earth before the dinosaurs, outlived them and survived until modern times. Horseshoe crabs have 10 eyes, a shard outer shell and long tails. Each specimen can live for up to about 20 years. Their numbers have dwindled in recent years and they are increasingly under threat as a species.

BIRTHDAYS
ALI’S life seems perfect. She has the career she always wanted and is married to her university sweetheart Mike and now has a growing family. She decides to invite six university friends over for a reunion after 20 years apart. On paper it seems perfect, but things soon take a dark turn. Ali’s friend Karen staggers into the garden covered in blood and visibly shaken. She claims she was assaulted by Mike, placing Ali in the impossible position of choosing whether to believe her friend or husband. Mike tells her a very different version of events to Karen. On top of that the episode leaves Ali questioning her university past. What she thought was a golden age now appears a lot darker than Ali remembered. She has to confront troubling memories in Claire McGowan’s What You Did.

Being honest will bring you peace JORIS PLU HONESTY. We can write hundreds of books about this one single word. We all want honesty, to be honest ourselves or other people to be honest with us. But on the other hand it frightens us a lot. Because pure honesty is right in your face. It is about how people feel. How they see things. And then just say it. No filter. Honesty can hurt. A lot. It can also heal. Make one feel free. At peace. John Lennon once said ‘Being honest may not get you many friends, but it will always get you the right ones.’ And he was a man who loved peace in his life. For him, for the whole world.
Of course, honesty is also something very personal. We all see and feel things differently, we have different backgrounds. So being honest can be very tricky. As long as we are respectful to others and speak with integrity, not having the intention to hurt someone, I believe
that being honest is the best thing we can do. Ever. What do you think? Not easy at all. Since we know or sometimes even do not know how the other person will react. So therefore, we are most of the times not really honest, or just a little
HONESTY: The best option.
honest. And we put a big smile on top of it while saying the honest things. To soften the brutal honesty which can be so painful for the other party. Is this a good way of doing it? Or maybe most of us already do it like this? For as long as we remember, pure honesty is not easy. What we can do, if we are not fully honest today towards others and also not to ourselves, we must train this step by step, day by day. Just be a little more honest next time. And the next one. Just practice it. Rome was not built in one day. Changing a behaviour takes time and effort. And like Lennon has said. You will maybe lose some people in your life, but the real ones will stay.
Some other quotes about honesty are: *Honesty is much better than sugar coated bullshit. *Everybody wants the truth but nobody wants to be honest. *I have found that growing up means being honest. About what I want, what I need, what I feel, who I am. *Be kind, be honest, be loving, be true and all of these things will come back to you. *Be honest with yourself, every minute of your life. Honest about your feelings. Honest about what you believe. Honest about the way you speak. Be ready to live an authentic life. Helena Kalivoda. Have an honest day you all. Every day.

Referred pain - knee, back or hips?
BY ESTELLE MITCHELL WWW.THEBODYWORKSCLINIC.COM
IF you have pain in the knee or back you probably think something is wrong with your knee or back. In most cases this is probably correct, but sometimes the brain gets confused making you think that one part of the body hurts when in fact, the real source of trouble is elsewhere. This curious (and clinically important) phenomenon is known as referred pain. I’ve been talking a lot lately abo u t t h e sy m p t o m s th a t g et thrown in with ‘sciatica,’ well today we’re going to talk about another common kind of pain that gets muddled, confused and then mistreated. When your knee hurts . . . If you have pain in your knee, you would most likely see your doctor, perhaps getting an X-ray or MRI scan. What if these investigations

don’t show a problem? You still have pain in your knee but your doctor is saying there is nothing wrong. What then? Or worse, they show a small is s u e , y o u s ta rt tre a tme nt (or even an operation!) but . . . it doesn’t improve. Playing detective I have written many articles about the importance of taking the time for a correct diagnosis and looking at the bigger picture, including the joints connected to where you have pain. This is critical when dealing with referred pain - where the actual problem in one part of the body causes pain or symptoms elsewhere. It is so important to always do a full clinical assessment of the patient as a whole. If you complain of knee pain
REFERRED PAIN: Ensure you treat the correct area of the body. and there is nothing wrong with your knee, no matter how much treatment you have, no matter how many operations you have, you will still have knee pain.
Hip, knee or back? Hip joint pain can be confusing. Not only are there many causes but most people are unsure where their hip joint actually is.
EWN 77
True hip joint pain is usually felt in the groin area (where the leg bone attaches to the pelvis) and this is different from upper thigh pain, outer thigh pain, buttock pain or even side pain which can often be due to other issues. Then t her e m ay be r ef er r ed pain from lower back problems and sciatic pain, the list goes on and on. People also complain of knee pain due to issues in the hips. This is the complicated ‘referral pattern’ due to nerve and muscle interaction. Treat the person not the pictures By looking at you, it becomes clear whether the problem is a knee, back or a hip issue. Recently I had a patient complaining of pain in her right hip however, when we reviewed her, the left hip was the problem! The right hip pain was due to her compensating for the left! By treating the correct area of the body you get quicker, more effective and efficient treatment. Saving you time, pain and money!

Men’s mental health MEN often find it very difficult to discuss their health. They are either embarrassed, too busy or live by the ‘it will be ok’ mentality, but with mental health all over the world becoming ever more prominent it is something that needs to be discussed. More and more young men are taking their lives each year for a variety of reasons, many of which could be dealt with if they knew how and where to seek help. Societal expectations, the way men believe they should behave by the rules set out in society, have a large part to play in the mental health of men living in today’s world. Men are supposedly strong, dominant and masculine and feel ashamed when they do not feel this way as they believe they will be judged by their peers and their loved ones. Other factors such as stress at work, financial issues, broken relationships, or questions about their sexuality or gender contribute to the shocking statistics of male suicide. Figures from studies in the UK show that men are three times more likely to commit suicide than women and suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45. But what can be done to reduce this staggering number? Firstly, men need to realise that there is no shame in suffering from mental
health issues. Feeling depressed or anxious is something that millions of people suffer with and it does not make you weak. Identifying the root cause of depression and anxiety can be tricky, but there are hundreds of resources available that can help identify and work through your problems. The first step is to recognise that there is a problem and visit your doctor and explain how you feel. Your doctor will understand and know how to treat you whether it is through medication, therapy or by recommending further treatment. Once you understand that eventually you can feel better, it helps to alleviate some of the anxiety and shame and hopefully will make you feel more comfortable to open up to your friends and family for help. Mental health and suicide are complex topics with varying causes and opinions but the more we talk about them, hopefully the more people will seek help and avoid such a tragic end to their life. It may sound like a cliché, but it is ok to not be ok. *English-speaking helplines in Spain The Samaritans Spain helping 900 525 100 Suicide - www.befrienders.org Crisis SOS Helpline - 0033 146 214 646 (3pm to 11pm) www.soshelpline.org

You are what you eat DID you know that eating the right foods can help you look your best? Here are some tips that could help you look your best, by doing nothing more than eating the right foods. • Fruit Summer is here and what better way to introduce the season than eating fruit. Strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are all packed with antioxidants, which are great for your health, together with vitamin C, which is essential for healthy-looking skin, as it regulates collagen and also helps prevent your skin from losing moisture. Now, our bodies, cannot store vitamin C so you need to make sure your daily diet is packed with fresh fruit. Other fruits to include in your d i e t i n c l u d e a p p le s , avocados, guavas and, of course, tomatoes.
• Nuts Nuts such as almonds and hazelnuts are rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant which works to repair and protect your skin and as they contain ‘good fats’ are a fantastic snack to keep you on the straight and narrow and, of course, better for you than a bag of sweets or a chocolate bar. • Fish Fresh fish offers a great source of vitamin A and D, as well as omega-3 acids, which can help you beat blemishes. Vitamin A will keep your skin healthy by regulating its oil production to prevent spots and even helps repair stretch marks and cellulite. • Lentils Lentils are not only a good carbohydrate but they also can help you to have gorgeous hair!

REDUCE APPEARANCE: There are ways to make cellulite less prominent.
CELLULITE is when the fat beneath the skin pushes against the connective tissue. This is what causes the skin above it to look dimpled and bumpy. There are varying degrees of cellulite and it can range from barely noticeable to more severe and spread over a large area. Although cellulite is not harmful, it is not something that is welcomed by many women. It is often difficult to know what causes cellulite, as there are often different factors involved, including, di-
et, lack of exercise, a person’s genetic make-up and their metabolism. Having cellulite can be dependent on lifestyle. Being active with a healthy diet can have a significant effect on how visible your cellulite is or whether you have it at all. A highly stressful lifestyle has also been shown to increase the compounds associated with the development of cellulite, whereas exercising regularly and eating healthily can help to make cellulite less noticeable and even prevent it. It is said that nothing will get rid of cellulite, but a healthy diet, staying
hydrated, avoiding stress and exercise will reduce the appearance of this problem. Here are some other ideas, which have been suggested as helping people to get rid of cellulite: Mix three to four tablespoons of ground seaweed with 50ml of sea salt and extra-virgin olive oil or any essential oil. Massage the mixture on the affected area for 10 minutes before taking a shower. Massage the affected area daily for effective results. Apparently seaweed enhances the texture of the skin and rids the body of toxins. When the body is flushed of toxins, the cellulite is reduced. Alternative massages of apple cider vinegar or juniper oil have also been put forward. Give up smoking. The smoke inhibits the body from making collagen and a lack of this can make the appearance of cellulite more prominent. Dry brushing your skin for five minutes, every day is said to improve your blood circulation and eliminate toxins.

The premise behind the operation was to ensure that the making of music was safe and comfortable rather than having bands work in ramshackled old buildings where security was questionable and was hardly conducive to creativity. Now that they are up and running with a number of regular bands using their services, they are fulfilling a promise to promote the bands and raise funds for a charity.

Large numbers of guests came and went during the five hours of the event and all were impressed by the fact that Saeed was able to walk around the venue playing what is considered a very difficult instrument. Once you are at the venue, you can also work out at the superbly equipped Max Gym which is on the premises.
ENTERTAINING: An afternoon of music and dance at Max Beach.
There is plenty of easy valet parking and for those who enjoy a late night then Max Live offers the opportunity to dance under the stars and regularly features local ‘Piano Man’ Paul Maxwel who will shortly be sup-
porting Tony Hadley who appears at the Puente Romano Tennis Club on Saturday August 10. Max Beach is an old friend with a new face waiting to welcome you with a smile.
JOYS LIVE: Hear the velvet tones of Trevor Francis.
Soulful Trevor NOW performing in his own right, Trevor Francis has been a backing singer for the likes of P Diddy, Mariah Carey and Florence & The Machine, but gained UK recognition by appearing on BBC’s The Voice. Also known as True Vocalist, Trevor from Ilford has been singing from the age of
12 and in the past few years has worked with some of music’s top artists as well as performing at private functions such as Shane Richie’s wedding and a private party for Sir Lenny Henry. August sees him appearing at Joys Live, the premier music venue in Puerto Banus from Thursday Au-
gust 8 until Sunday and then again from Wednesday August 14 to the following Sunday and as ever, admission at the club is free of charge. Once again, Joys Live (www.joyslive.com) has persuaded another top singer from the UK to travel over to Spain.

SOCIAL SCENE
This week Celebrity Chef from Ready Steady Cook & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala cooks a vegetarian risotto for the Royals.
Royal risotto! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com
LAST week I wrote about my watermelon gazpacho that we are currently serving as the amuse bouche at the restaurant. I created the flavours when I was cooking a special charity dinner for the Royal Family. At that dinner we prepared a white truffle and mushroom risotto as one of the courses which was hailed as the best ever and on the back of the press coverage it brought in many new clients coming for the risotto! “We are not an Italian restaurant nor are we vegetarian,” I told people, but either way they wanted the risotto so we have it on the menu at The Little Geranium because clients won’t let me take it off! In the 1990s we seldom had a vegetarian client maybe one or two
PRINCE CHARLES: Is a fantastic ambassador for organic produce. a month, but that is all. Nowadays we have two or three every night, how things have changed! We also have vegan clients and I offer a special vegetarian and vegan tasting menu each night and of course in London vegan food is very much on trend. Most nights my waiters come to me saying that they have a vegetarian client, but they can eat fish. “That’s not a vegetarian!” I reply, but not all
clients understand the difference. We call someone who eats fish but not meat a pescatarian, but a vegetarian will eat dairy (cheese, cream, milk, butter etc) but prefers to be meat and fish free. A vegan will not eat fish or meat or any by product from animal produce like dairy and so the dishes I create for vegans are far more limited, but not impossible. We make our own tofu for exam-
ple and I always have loads of daily fresh vegetables, pulses, herbs and spices and I create many interesting dishes with it all. The mushroom risotto recipe below can be either vegan or vegetarian with a minor change which is explained in the ingredients. If you fancy a break from meat and fish then this is an excellent way of eating a beautiful dish without feeling cheated! When I cooked for the Royal family they often requested a vegetarian dish. Princess Diana loved my mushroom risotto so I prepared this for some of the Royal events. Whilst we became quite famous for her passion about our crispy duck salad (still on our menu) no one ever mentioned her love for the mushroom risotto. On one occasion Prince Charles approached me and asked if I could make an organic version of the mushroom risotto. I remember explaining that the mushrooms are wild mushrooms (they grow in the wild) so they can’t be organic as such as they are not farmed or controlled in an organic
environment. You could use organic mushrooms that are farmed organically, but they are not wild and not as good. Organic rice is available pretty much everywhere and you can get organic olive oil, onions and garlic etc easily so I recall saying “yes it can be organic but we lose something from using the organically farmed mushrooms and eliminating the wild and more natural ones.” “OK then,” he said, “use the wild mushrooms, but don’t tell anyone!” Prince Charles has a terrific sense of humour inherited from his father Prince Philip. When I opened my Manchester restaurant called… Steven Saunders at the Lowry, Prince Philip asked me who the window cleaner was, staring up at the ceiling and high walls. (The building is 90 per cent glass) “I am not sure,” I replied and then suddenly the penny dropped and I laughed out loud. Prince Philip is the most humorous Royal! Prince Charles is a fantastic ambassador for organic produce and his home (Highgrove) has its own shop that sells organic produce and his Duchy range. The organic lamb I used to buy from Highgrove was inexplicably amazing, but his organic mushrooms… well the wild ones are better and he knows it!
Steven Saunders’s opinions are his own and are not necessarily representative of those of the publishers, advertisers or sponsors.
Mushroom risotto Ingredients (Serves 4) • 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive • 1 onion, chopped finely • 2 cloves of garlic crushed and chopped finely • Approx 300g of risotto rice rinsed under cold water • A glass of dry white wine • 1 small packet of dried (Porcini style) mushrooms • 1 tablespoon of vegetable stock bouillon diluted in boiling water to create 250ml • 200g of wild mushrooms, cleaned • 250g of chestnut or button mushrooms washed and sliced thinly • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley • 4/6 teaspoons of white truffle oil, to taste
• 1 tablespoon of fresh white truffle shavings (optional) • 4 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese (if vegan then use a vegan cheese here) • 1 onion sliced thinly, tossed in plain flour for deep frying • Maldon salt for seasoning Method Pour boiling water over the dried mushrooms and leave to sit for 10 mins to create a mushroom stock, you need about 250ml. Heat half the oil in a heavybased saucepan and lightly sweat the onion and garlic slowly and on a low heat, don’t let it colour. Add the rice and then the white wine.
Mix the mushroom stock and the vegetable stock (in the ingredients list) together to create 500ml of stock. Warm this in a separate sauce pan. Pour in some of this stock through a fine sieve, enough to cover the rice. This allows the risotto to absorb the stock and intensifies the flavour. Gradually add more stock as the liquid is absorbed and cook slowly stirring regularly until it cooks and holds together. (If it needs more stock make a little more.) Prepare the wild mushrooms by wiping them clean and slicing them in halves or if small leave them whole. You want to see them in the risotto. Slice the other mushrooms
finely. Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a frying pan and add all the mushrooms. Cook and season them. Stir the mushrooms into the risotto which should be now cooked and add the Parmesan cheese and remaining olive oil, stir in well. Taste and now add the fresh truffles (if using them). Add the chopped parsley and finally the truffle oil, taste and season. For the crispy onions simply toss them through the flour and deep fry at 190ºC until crispy. Serve the onions on top of the risotto and drizzle the whole thing with more truffle oil and enjoy!
ORGANIC RISOTTO: Serve with crispy onions on top.

Apart from the incredible aerodynamic styling, another major innovation is the steering wheel which now has a touchpad and a series of ‘haptic’ buttons that allow the driver to control virtually every aspect of the car using just their thumbs. The car comes with four different drive modes: • eDrive: the internal combustion engine remains off and traction is entrusted entirely to
the electric front axle. Starting with a fully charged battery, the car can cover up to 25km in this mode. This mode is ideal for city-centre driving or any other situation in which the driver wishes to eliminate the sound of the Ferrari V8. • Hybrid: this is the default setting when the car is turned on, in which the power flows are managed to optimise the overall efficiency of the system. • Performance: unlike ‘Hybrid,’ this mode keeps the engine running because the priority is more on charging the battery than on efficiency. This THE Porsche Taycan, the new plug-in electric performance car from the renowned German manufacturer, will hit the market at the end of the year. Across the globe, there are already more than 20,000 serious prospective buyers for the new four-door vehicle. The Taycan accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in significantly less than 3.5 seconds. It has a
mode is best suited to situations in which driving pleasure and fun behind the wheel are the main focus. • Qualify: this mode allows the system to achieve maximum power output by allowing the electric motors to work at their maximum potential (162kW). The control logic prioritises performance over battery charging. INNOVATIVE: Ferrari SF90 Stradale
Dynamic performance of the Porsche Taycan range of more than 500 kilometres (according to the NEDC). Incredibly, the 800 Volt architecture in the vehicle guarantees that the lithium-ion battery
can be recharged in just four minutes, providing enough energy to drive 100 kilometres (according to NEDC). Alongside the dynamic per-
formance of the Taycan, a comprehensive charging infrastructure is a key to the longterm success of the vehicle. Porsche offers intelligent charging solutions for both the home and when on the road. The Porsche Charging System digital platform enables Europe-wide access to around 70,000 charging points from various providers and central billing via Porsche. In addition, both own fastcharging stations and those installed in cooperation with charging networks such as Ionity in Europe are available. On July 15, 2019, Porsche visited the Big Apple as part of the grand finale of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship in New York. The Taycan showed off its capabilities by completing several fast laps on the race circuit in front of an eager crowd of spectators. Whilst this is a new concept from Porsche, the styling is unmistakably theirs.

Volkswagen T-Cross SEL
ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher THE T-Cross is Volkswagen’s latest and smallest SUV model, a compact fiveseater with class-leading interior space, many safety and driver-assist features as standard and destined to make quite an impact in the crowded SUV sector. There are two 1.0 litre turbo petrol engines available, offering 94 hp and 113 hp and all models are two-wheel drive with a choice of manual or auto transmission. There are four trim levels and prices start at €18,967 (£16,995). Volkswagen says the TCross is ‘urban friendly’ and majors on practicality and convenience without sacrificing style, a point well made as I found during my week-long test drive. The T-Cross has elegant styling and its size will seem to many people to be ideal it’s not as bulky as many SUV models, yet is still surprisingly roomy.

Records broken in Tour de France ping onto the final podium in Paris as winners of the teams’ classification for the sixth time and the fourth in five years. On the other hand, the Blues’ courage and consistency in the mountains weren’t rewarded with an overall result better than the sixth place obtained by Mikel Landa, as they lost out in the time trials. The squad managed by Eusebio Unzué, whose visit to the Paris podium marked a fourth consecutive team GC triumph in Grand Tours, said he saw a remarkable contribution to the team’s results through the efforts of Andrey Amador, Marc Soler, Nelson Oliveira, Imanol Erviti and debutant Carlos Verona, all of whom reached the final finish line alongside Alejandro Valverde, who was ninth overall just nine months before turning 40. Winner Bermal said: “I should say thank you to all my team. Thank you for the opportunity and all the team for the support and believing in me. Today I am the most happy guy in the world. I just won the Tour de France. I can’t believe it. Second placed Thomas said: “Two years ago I was here with my arm in a sling, with a bro-

the Tour or during it really, but this team is incredible and it was a pleasure to be a part of Egan’s first of many [victories] and to be stood on the podium in second is still a big achievement.” Sir Dave Brailsford, leader of the British team, said: “Riders who have won this - the calibre of Geraint or of Chris Froome - when those guys realise it’s the moment to support, they do. You don’t have to talk to them. They really understand the sport and they’ve got respect for each other have our guys - we’re a team. And they know that the team needs to win and they’ll put the team in front of themselves. Geraint’s demonstrated that once again like the great champion he is.” Credit: Repsol Honda Racing
TEAM INEOS (formerly Sky) may have kept up their sensational form in the Tour de France, but the Spanish Movistar team has a record to be proud of too. Story of the race was Egan Bernal at 22 years old becoming the youngest ever winner of the yellow jersey (maillot jaune), and the youngest rider to win the Tour in over 100 years. Victory marks the team’s seventh overall success at the world’s biggest bike race and fifth in a row. It also represents the first Grand Tour victory in the colours of INEOS - now the first trade team to win the race with four different riders. The 2018 victor Geraint Thomas finished alongside the ‘maillot jaune’ to secure an emphatic 1-2 finish for INEOS with an eventual winning margin for Bernal of one minute and 11 seconds. Bernal becomes Colombia’s first-ever Tour de France winner and was roared home by a sea of yellow in Paris. In addition to yellow, he also took home the white young rider’s jersey by a commanding margin of almost 24 minutes.

Women get own classification THE Copa del Rey is on this week (finishing Saturday) and it is a year of great change. Following the recent announcement of the new classification system (including a final stage and the new distribution of the ORC classes), a new Women’s Class was also added to the 38th edition. The idea is to reinforce female participation in the sport of sailing, as it is being supported for the Olympic classes in Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. The choice of a one-design such as the Viper 640; suitable for crews of up to four sailors, was one of the main driving forces behind the new class. The class offers the opportunity to put each skipper and their crews’ talent and skill to the test, under exactly the same conditions. Twelve teams - 10 Spanish and two Argentinian, each with four crew members, will compete in the Purobeach Women’s Cup class until Saturday.
“It’’s a very good idea. It’s a way for girls to have more opportunities to compete,” said Natalia Vía-Dufresne, Olympic double medallist (silver in Barcelona 92 and Athens 2004). Javier Sanz, President of the Real Club Náutico de Palma, explained: “We have taken one more step towards facilitating the participation of female teams in the Copa del Rey. Traditionally in fleets of up to 150 boats there have only been one or two teams of women. This way we have ensured the participation of more teams, and by competing in a women’s one-design class, we will definitely have a winning female team in the Copa del Rey MAPFRE 2019.” Regarding the choice of the one-design class, Manuel Fraga, Sporting Director of the RCNP, added: “It wasn’t easy to define the racing model or the type of boat to use, but after testing different models, we decided on the Viper 640 for its reliability, simplicity, and spectacular sailing possibilities.”
COMEBACK: Lorenzo has inked in Silverstone.
Lorenzo’s British date JORGE LORENZO is planning on making his MotoGP comeback at Silverstone for the British GP on August 25. Jorge Lorenzo and the Repsol Honda Team have agreed it is best for Lorenzo to miss both the Czech and Austrian rounds to continue his recovery and avoid any further risk of injury.
He suffered fractures to two of his vertebrae during the Dutch GP. Having spent the summer break working on his recovery, Lorenzo’s condition has improved but he is still in some pain and his movement on a bike remains restricted. Silverstone has been set as his new objective for returning to

By Dilip Kuner THE F1 roadshow rolls into Hungary this weekend with Red Bull on a high, Mercedes looking to make amends and Williams celebrating their first point of the season. Max Verstappen drove a superb race in the wet to win at Hockenheim and Sebastian Vettel will be hoping he has got his mojo back after starting from the back of the grid to claim second position. Daniil Kvyat was a surprise third as Toro Rosso scored just their second ever podium. Runaway championship leaders Mercedes suffered a nightmare in their 200th race, with Bottas crashing out and polesitter Lewis Hamilton having multiple offs on his way to P11. However, Hamilton stretched his record of scoring points in every race to 23 when he was promoted two spots after the finish thanks to both Alfa Romeos being handed time penalties for starting line clutch irregularities. This also meant Robert Kubica being promoted to 10th to give Williams their first point of the 2019 campaign. Raikkonen and Giovinazzi crossed the line seventh and eighth respectively, giving Alfa Romeo their best result of the season. However, soon after the race, the stewards summoned a team representative to

discuss an alleged breach of Article 27.1, related to clutch torque application during race starts. The stewards found the torque in the clutch at the start did not match the torque demand as the driver released the clutch within the specified 70 millisecond maximum period. This time was measured at approximately 300 milliseconds. They compared this breach to that of a false start with a potential advantage and therefore opted to give both drivers a 10-second stopand-go penalty, which equates to 30 seconds added
to each of their race times. Responding to the stewards’ verdict, Alfa Romeo Team Principal Frederic Vasseur said: “It is extremely disappointing to have both cars penalised and pushed out of the points in what had been such an exciting
On the road again THE WRC resumes this weekend after a short break, with the Toyota Gazoo Racing World Rally Team targeting a third Rally Finland victory in as many years. The Finnish gravel stages are the fastest on the calendar and also home roads for the Toyota Yaris WRC, developed at the team’s headquarters close to the rally sevice park in Jyväskylä. The team’s drivers are all previous winners of Rally Finland: Ott Tänak won with Toyota in 2018 and Kris Meeke took victory in 2016, while Jari-Matti Latvala has won his home event on three occasions (2010, ’14 and ’15).
Tommi Mäkinen (Team Principal) said: “Rally Finland is of course a very special occasion for our team. We have won the rally in each of the last two years, and we have a great opportunity to make it three out of three. We know the roads and their characteristics well and we know that our car is well-suited to them. All three of our drivers really enjoy this event and have won it in the past, so I think that our chances are good. But we are taking absolutely nothing for granted: Our rivals have been working hard to improve on this event, so we need to stay focused and push for the best possible result.”
race. The situation arose during the laps we spent behind the Safety Car ahead of the standing start: we suffered a dysfunction of the clutch that was beyond our control and we will further investigate the issue. Starting second, Verstappen and Red Bull mastered the strategy, taking a gamble to switch to mediums first, then realising their mistake and diving back into the pits. The Dutchman pitted five times in total, but made the right calls at the right time to emerge at the head of the field. Vettel made up seven places in the last 15 laps to cap a marvellous comeback, after starting dead last having not set a time in qualifying. Lance Stroll briefly led the race in the final stint, after Racing Point rolled the dice and put him on dry tyres. The move proved inspired and while he battled bravely, he eventually succumbed to Kvyat and Vettel to take fourth, ahead of McLaren’s Carlos Sainz, who at one stage was as low as 14th. The Spanish driver said: “Quite an intense Sunday and a good day for Formula 1. On my side, I’m very happy with that P5. Obviously the podium opportunity was there and now it’s easy to say we could’ve made it, but when we were P5 under the Safety Car, it was a very tough call to pit for slicks and nobody around me was stopping. “We decided not to and the guys who were further behind had more margin to take that risk. In general we made the right decisions at the right time. Clever race and well-managed under stressful conditions, so congratulations to the team.”
