Spain Could Extend Its Borders To the West Of The Canary Islands Preliminary results of the “Amuley” expedition, undertaken by the oceanographic research vessel “Hesperides”, indicate that Spain could extend her sovereign rights over the seabed to the west of the Canaries by over 280,000 square kilometres. This was indicated by the Ministry of Defence in a statement, announcing that the “Hesperides” voyage ended in Santa Cruz on Wednesday (20th). The aim of the expedition was to look at expanding the Spanish continental shelf; an effort which meant that more than 140,000 kilometres of underwater land had to be mapped - an area that is more than 18 times the land area of the archipelago. The minister added that preliminary results have exceeded initial expectations and added that the sovereign rights over this territory include rights for ocean exploration and exploitation of energy resources; such as oil, gas and conventional gas hydrate.

Project 1Box Provides New Resources For Entrepreneurs

The island counsellor of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, Efraín Medina, has presented an innovative project that has received the support of the Island Foundation for Training and Employment (FIFEDE). 1box is a national database that sits in the Canary Islands for information and advertising. “This project was created with the goal to cover the entire spectrum of possibilities that currently

exist in the market: from bakeries to hotels, offering the best and most complete information for each sector. Empowering each business through a uniquely designed personal profile for each consumer,” said Pedro Calero, one of the leaders of the initiative.

Medina said that “The Cabildo of Tenerife through FIFEDE and under the support provided to all actions related to the Plan of Entrepreneurship has the necessary tools to facilitate the implementation of this new service in Tenerife. This is an innovative project that comes from the hand of young entrepreneurs who are committed to using new technologies as facilitators in the difficult environment we live in today. “

Granadilla On The Road To Change

Vice President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Aurelio Abreu, and the Minister of Roads and landscape, José Luis Delgado, have recently held a meeting with the mayor of the municipality of Granadilla, Jaime González Cejas, focusing on meeting the demands of the locality in terms of the public road system. The content of the meeting was focused on the main deficiencies of the road infrastructure in Granadilla, and towards an analysis of the work planned to improve the situation. During the meeting, the attendees addressed the issue of the roundabout at Los Llanos and the area to develop the slow lane, or sidings, for the San Isidro area. Another point raised was that more concentrated attention was needed to improve signage for access to the different nuclei of

Diver’s body Continued from Page 1 area is also rich in mineral resources, such as nodules found off The of iron and massive sulphides deposits. Spain is also its sovereignty towards the preservation c o a s t o f exercising and regulation of canaries deep seabed beyond the hundred nautical miles, in anticipation of possible Lanzarote two pollutant discharges in these areas. The body of a diver, in an advanced state of decomposition, has been discovered of the coast of Puerto del Carmen , Lanzarote. A diver alerted the Emergency Coordination Centre and Security (CECOES) 1-1-2, reporting that he had located a body and clothes at a depth of 90 meters. The Guardia Civil will take over the task of recovering the body and initiating an incident investigation.

The scientific data resulting from research will be part of the documentation handed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by May 2014; which is the deadline set by the UN Convention on the “Law of the Sea” with regards to claiming sovereignty of the area. “The data are of high quality and have revealed new unknowns in the deep sea,” said chief scientist of the expedition, Luis Somoza, who is a marine geologist and technical advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As indicated in the statement, Somoza said: “Our obligation now is to process this large amount of data, to present the proposal to the United Nations.” During the expedition depths of between 4,000 and 5,300 meters were explored with underwater mapping techniques, and thanks to these measurements, the scientists have identified numerous geological structures on the seabed that had not been previously been explored.

El Hierro Eruptions Return

The IGN (Instituto Geográfico Nacional ) has recorded another cluster of tremors between 6pm Monday (18th) and 2.50 Tuesday (19th). There were 16 in total, all between 1.6 and 2.3 degrees on the Richter scale and at a depth of between 15 and 19 km.

14 of them occurred within the space of two and a half hours, between 9.52 and half past midnight, and all but one were in the El Golfo region – the last one was northeast of Valverde. None were felt by the public.

the municipality. The Mayor emphasised the need to provide adequate lighting, also pedestrian access for school students. With regard to the coastal zone, both the Vice President and the Minister of Highways presented an action plan, which is expected take the next four years. The plan emphasises the development of urban areas, like Los Abrigos. Similarly, Cejas is very

interested in knowing the solution that the council plans for the road between the nuclei of Chimiche and San Isidro. During the meeting public transport in the municipality was also on the agenda; as the mayor expressed concern about the elimination of service in the district, leaving some areas virtually cut off during the weekends.

It has come to the attention of the Tenerife Weekly that a clever scam has started operation in the Amarilla Golf area. The modus operandi seems to be that at a man knocks on your door to ask a question; usually something about next door’s property. He uses this opportunity to confirm if the person is home alone. During the conversation his wife joins him from their

blue van, asking if she can warm up a bottle for her baby. The man seemingly returns to the van while you prepare the baby’s bottle in the kitchen. During this time the baby’s “grandmother” comes from the van with the baby in her arms and engages you in conversation in the kitchen while the man proceeds to burgle the premises. On the last occasion, it seems that the couple got away with jewellery.

Hello, readers. As you can see, we’ve changed the look of our newspaper. We’re now proudly in partnership with www.tenebay.com. You now have three papers in one (news, TV Guide pull-out & Tenebay pull-out!) On to the news. It seems that Spain may get bigger. Following deep-sea surveys it would appear that Spain can claim sovereignty over a vast track of land to the west of our islands.

It that transpires to be the case, it could mean a huge boon to the country, and the Canaries in general. There could be many jobs created in the collection of mineral deposits, etc. Fantastic news for our community. We’ll keep you posted on developments. I´ll sign off this piece now, as we have so much content I don’t have space for a rant! See you next week,

Z e r o - T o l e r a n c e P o l i c e Chinese President Visits Tenerife Clampdown On Drug-Driving

Traffic police have announced a crackdown on driving under the influence of drugs, which will have them patrolling ‘every street at every hour of the day’ from 9th July.

Drivers will be pulled over at random, even if they are not seen committing a motoring offence. They will be breathalysed to check their alcohol levels and then a saliva test will indicate whether the driver has been taking drugs.

If the test comes out positive, the motorist will immediately be taken for further testing and will not be allowed to continue on his or her journey. Those found to be driving under the influence of illegal substances can face anything from a 500-euro fine and

six points off their licences through to a prison term. Drug-driving is behind one in four fatalities on the road, says the minister for the interior, Jorge Fernández and the minister for traffic, María Seguí. In 2011, 480 people died as a result of accidents caused by motorists who had taken illegal substances. Drug consumption doubles the chance of having a crash, and if the driver is heavily affected, can increase probabilities of road accidents by up to seven times.

The Families Of Terminally Ill Children Have No Food In Hospital Budget cuts in the health care are getting closer to the users, judging by the decision of the Ministry of Health of the Canary Islands not to serve more meals to those accompanying children or terminally ill adults admitted to public hospitals in the archipelago. For over 30 years, both the Hospital Universitario de Canarias and the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria have catered for the families of any child or adult patient, who were receiving palliative care in the final stage of a disease. As of last week, in the case of La Candelaria, and in the coming days, in the HUC, these food facilities will disappear and all meals consumed

in the hospital must be bought from the onsite cafeteria, as it is not allowed to bring food from outside. The Ministry itself acknowledged, through their press office, it was an extraordinary measure that was only to be in force in two hospitals in Tenerife. “In the current economic situation, the public hospitals in the Canary Islands Health Service should take responsibility to ensure the care of their patients. To this end, both in the HUNSC and HUC have proceeded to remove the service from June, stressing that “there is no legal provision requiring public hospitals to provide food service to the companions of hospitalised patients.”

The Chinese president, Hu Jintao, together with a team of his ministers on their way back from the G20 summit in Mexico, stopped off in Tenerife for a brief visit on Wednesday (20th) in order to meet Deputy PM Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, Industry minister José Manuel Soria, and the Canarian President Paulino Rivero. Great hopes continue for Chinese investment, both on the mainland and here in the Canaries, and on 24th May Spanish and Chinese businesses signed trade and collaboration agreements worth around half a billion Euros. Wednesday’s stop-off in Tenerife involved some talks, but also saw the Chinese VIP guests taken up Teide. Access roads and the crater itself were blocked off for security purposes.

Open Day At Teide Observatory The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has announced two Open Days, this Friday and Saturday, 22 and 23 June. Between 10am and 5pm, visitors will be able to have a guided tour and be told about the work done by the Observatory, as well as to ask whatever questions they like, whether about the solar system, nearest stars, galaxies, nebulae, or the age or origins of the universe. The Open Days will be held in the Observatory itself, at Izaña. Groups

will be taken at intervals to see the telescopes. Parking is available in the precinct’s own car park. IAC recommends that, since it is a high mountain area, visitors bring comfortable shoes, eye shades or

sunglasses, as well as a coat. Those with any cardiovascular or respiratory problems are advised that the altitude might present them with a problem and they are advised to check first with their doctor.

Legal Situation For “Illegal Letting” F i n e s At E n d O f F i r s t A p p e a l

Under Spanish law, the Canarian Government’s fine on those it deems to have been letting illegally must be processed within six months or it “expires”.

Once expired, Turismo issues a certificate (of “caducidad”). If one is not received it can be applied for. The process includes three stages: an appeal against the initial notification of the fine, an appeal against the rejection of the appeal, and a final appeal – a Recurso de Alzada. Once a Recurso de Alzada has been made, however, the clock changes, and another administrative legal rule applies, namely that if no reply has been given to this final appeal within three months, the appeal is considered rejected. Alotca lawyers of those who have been fined and reached the six months limit – and who have not received a certificate of caducidad – have already applied to Turismo for this certificate. In the majority of appeals which have expired and where a certificate has not been issued, the request for the certificate has not been acknowledged. Many of these fines, however, are in the Recurso de Alzada period, and so the “three months for reply” rule applies. Obviously fines are issued on different

dates, and so the Recursos de Alzada were made varying times ago, but the lawyers are writing to clients whose three month period is almost at an end. They would be negligent if they did not advise their clients that there was a clear danger that their first appeal (the threestage appeal to the Government) is about to be rejected and that appeal to the Courts must follow – or Turismo will consider the rejection to be accepted, and enforce the fines and lodge the charge against the properties of those who have not paid. The appeal to the Courts will use several legal arguments, one of which is that the appeal was beyond its six month limit, though Turismo has the option of using the “three-month reply to Recurso de Alzada” defence. Other legal arguments have already been drawn up but it is clearly not sensible to publicise those arguments which the lawyers are going to use in Court. The fee of 925 Euros that is being quoted for this second appeal to the Courts covers not only the full appeal, which is expected to take up to a year, but also barrister fees. Unfortunately, those in this position must confirm their decision now as the lawyers need time to organise the cases for defence.

Agreement Reached For Development Of Geothermal Projects

The President of the Tenerife Cabildo and president of the Institute of Volcanic Islands (Involcan), Ricardo Melchior, and Juan Torres Gómez of Llamosa, CEO of the General Company for Engineering and Surveys, Inc. (CGS) signed a collaboration agreement for development of geothermal projects on Tuesday (19th). During the ceremony, Melchior said that “the agreement will facilitate the development of works of scientific and technical cooperation for the exploration, research and development of

geothermal energy.” One of the first collaborative works between Involcan and CGS will be related to the project’s feasibility study, that the Republic of Ecuador has recently awarded to CGS through the

National Institute of Preinvestment. The collaborative work will focus on Involcan studies, volcanology and geochemistry to develop the framework of the project. Geothermal energy is used to capture the heat stored beneath the surface of rocks. Cold water is injected into hot, dry rock. Hot water or steam is then produced and extracted to the surface to use to produce electricity, in the case of high temperature geothermal systems. The heat inside the Earth is constantly produced by the decay of radioactive material, and it reaches the earth’s surface via conduction and convection processes.

Merger And Closure Of Schools Saves 1m Euros

The Governing Council of the Canary Islands have approved, on Wednesday (20th), the merger and closure of several schools in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma; a first step in the reorganisation of the school map, with estimated savings of one million euros. Government spokesman, Martin Marrero, said at a press conference that these mergers, which will become operational in September, not only will result in less spending, but also in better service, as it will

expand optional training. Martin Marrero said the move is part of the common changes that occur each year to match supply and demand, and to correct the underutilisation of resources. He stressed that the last time the school map was reviewed was fifteen years ago. In the case of Gran Canaria, the change affects, among others, the San Cristóbal and Vega de San José schools; as these will be the first schools to specialise in vocational training.

Launch Of Management And Maintenance Of Roads Initiative

The Tenerife Cabildo’s department of Highways and Landscape will launch a new management model to carry out conservation and maintenance of roads on the island.

The department director, Jose Luis Delgado said the project would be, “an improvement in service delivery and economic savings for the island.” Delgado added that the works would invigorate the building sector, which will affect employment generation. The conservation and maintenance of roads will entail cleaning the edges of the roads, cleaning or repairing landslides and side protection, among other things. Delgado explained that the public sector road maintenance department have designed new technical models, called “integrated conservation of 2nd and 3rd generation.” These models are based on a higher ratio of responsibility to the

contractor from the current working model for administration of the 1st generation. At the same time, the new scheme will involve a number of benefits, such as the obligation of contracts awarded to implement a management system to analyse the optimal organisation of service to viability. With this new model, the regular maintenance schedule will be more agile and efficient, increase yields and action planning for improvement; especially those for road safety. Delgado insists that “the ultimate goal is to improve services to the road user, all aimed at getting the best productivity in managing public resources.”

Siam Park In Negotiations For La Palma Airport Installs New Location In Gran Canaria A New Contr ol Tower

The founder of Loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling, is studying an offer of land in the Maspalomas area of Gran Canaria as a possible location for his project to build a water park similar to the one in the south of Tenerife (Siam Park). This was confirmed to news group, Efe, on Monday (18th), by Ramon Suárez, a Tourism Councillor from San Bartolomé de Tirajana. Mr Suárez pointed out that the proposed park, to the south

of Gran Canaria, will be more than 200,000 square meters; an area the size of Siam Park, the largest open water park in Europe. The land offered to the Kiessling family is between the motorway and the road to Faro de Maspalomas, just behind the municipal cemetery, Pedrazo. “The land in question belongs to several owners; one of those being the Cabildo of Gran Canaria. They are now negotiating the possible purchase with the

VIVO

other owners, to bring it all together,” Suarez highlighted. “My vision is that, eventually, this project will go forward and that the efforts bear fruit in a short period of time; preferably before the end of the year, so work can begin in early 2013” The Kiessling family has considered in recent months several sites for the water park, including an area of rural land in the El Caserio barranco, which was rejected by several setbacks regarding properties.

The airport in La Palma has commissioned its new control tower, which represents an investment of 4.1 million euros. The new control tower occupies an area of approximately one thousand square meters and is part of a series of actions taken in the expansion of the airport. The various works to upgrade the airport have been done in stages, so not to upset the normal running of air traffic and passengers. The works started in 2010. The tower, which has a height of 22 meters above the runway, is integrated into the new terminal area and has two zones: technical and operational mezzanine facilities (facilities, supervision and rest areas). The commissioning of the new control tower has involved the installation and commissioning of various equipment and communications systems, including most notably the Automated Air Traffic Control. This system provides the air traffic controllers with all the necessary information for the deployment of their work (flight data,

surveillance and weather conditions), so to improve skill levels and air traffic flow within the security parameters required by the aviation community. The tower also has a voice communications system, fibre optic and ground / air radio; allowing the establishment of oral communications between the controller and pilot. La Palma Airport currently logs an average of 50 operations a day, between arrivals and departures, and has a staff of eight air traffic controllers in the tower.

Emergency services have recovered a body, on Wednesday (20th), lying on rocks in the south coast of Gran Canaria, as reported by the emergency services. The body of the young man, in his twenties, was found at about 11.05 am on the beach at Las Carpinteras, in a rocky area off the coast of Pasito Bea, in the

municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana. The body was rescued by the Fire and Rescue department of the municipality; who tried to recover the body by sea, but were beaten back by strong waves. They eventually managed the recovery by going over ground. Medical staff moved to the site, who then confirmed the death.

Project To Supply Clean Energy Town Rejected

The development of renewable energy will suffer a setback in the municipality of Vilaflor due to a slowdown in government grants to put solar panels in-situ. “In the PGO (Plan General Management), which is being drafted at present, we anticipated a garden plot of approximately 10 hectares, but we have been forced to give up this facility,” says the president of the local corporation. “The reason for taking such a drastic decision is because the state has suppressed any kind of subsidy for this type of energy, which makes the development economically unfeasible,” laments the mayor of Vilaflor, Manuel Fumero. “The three megawatts that can be generated at the facility is believed to

Canarian Companies Take 105 Days To Pay S u p p l i e r s

The private sector in the Canaries takes an average of 105 days to pay their suppliers, just the same as the national average. Enterprises located in the northern peninsular regions, especially in Navarra, Cantabria and Aragón, paid before suppliers to the south, with Madrid, Andalusía and the Balearic Islands at the tail end of delinquency. This data comes from the study “corporate default in Spain,” prepared by the Multisectoral Platform Against Delinquency (PMCM), presented in Madrid this week,

under which payments to private providers in 2010 was delayed by up to three months on average, about 105 days, compared to the 85 authorised days stated by law. By sector, construction, with 253 days of the medium term, was the most delinquent, followed by services (142), industrial (69) and primary (48). The studysaid that in Navarre suppliers were paid an average of 69 days late, in Cantabria and Aragón 77 and 79 days respectively and Madrid with 120 days on average.

Brussels Reviews Its Strategy For Boosting Employment In The Canaries

The European Commission proposed, on Wednesday (29th), to review the Community strategy to support the Canary Islands and the rest of the outermost regions (ORs) with the aim of favouring the initiatives that have a positive impact on economic growth and create jobs. It also calls on governments of each region to cooperate with them, to develop a plan of action. Specifically, Brussels proposes concrete measures for greater regional competitiveness through investments; to reduce their isolation with the momentum of better transport and energy networks. The EU is also committed to building stronger relationships with their geographic neighbours, in trade and other issues, and intensify efforts to improve the training of the workforce and promote social inclusion. To implement their plans the EU executive has filed a submission with their ideas for “smart, sustainable and

inclusive growth” in the outermost regions, but does not provide specific figures on how they would support this new approach, because the budget will depend on negotiations between the European Parliament’s member states, according to EU sources. Brussels also calls on national governments of each of the eight outermost regions of the EU (Canary Islands, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Reunion, Martinique, San Martín, the Azores and Martinique) to cooperate with its islands to design action that could be developed to move

towards growth. “The national and regional authorities must maintain a strong commitment to maximise the potential of each region and ensure that rules and practices are adapted when necessary, to regional needs,” the Commission said in a statement. The Commissioner for Regional Policy, Johannes Hahn, said in a statement that the outermost regions are “good” for the European Union and the Brussels target is to help them be “self-sufficient, economically stronger and more capable of creating sustainable jobs”

Greek Election Last Sunday Looms Large, whilst Rajoy Battles ECB for Loans

The Greek election last weekend looms large over the currency markets. There is a genuine feeling of unease over what will happen to Greece over the coming months. But as ever with markets, uncertainty over the outcome is the main driver rather than the prospect of a Greek exit from the Euro-zone. The water was muddied further by an article in the Financial Times newspaper by Alexis Tsipras, leader of the Syriza Party, suggesting he would keep Greece in the Euro-zone if elected. A month ago the dominant thought was that if an anti-austerity party formed a government, Greece would then start along the road to leaving the Euro. However, it is possible that Greece could remain inside the Euro-zone even if they were to default. Whatever happens on Sunday, next week will likely be an interesting one. Across the major pairs the Euro has gaining ground in Asian trading overnight as details leaked (what a surprise....) that European leaders are prepared to discuss a European banking union at the next EU summit. It strikes us as another round of chicken between EU politicians and the market. Let’s hope they can actually deliver what is needed this time, rather than just proposing it and then thinking it wouldn’t matter if they failed to deliver. Spain attacked Germany for what it

termed fostering the financial crisis, saying the biggest European economy has benefited from the single currency as its banks profiteered by lending to the fast-growing South. “It’s true that some countries including Spain lived beyond our means but that’s because banks from the core decided to make lots of money investing here,” Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo told Onda Cero radio. If Germany “throws one country to the wolves that will affect everyone, so

they should take a more long-term view.” Italy’s bond yields soared at an auction today and German Chancellor Angela Merkel rejected “seemingly easy” solutions to the financial turmoil, pushing back against calls by France, Spain and Italy. Garcia-Margallo said Germany’s export-led economic boom was powered by the monetary union that depresses their currency. He commented a day after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he would “battle” the European Central Bank for cheap loans to avoid a

sovereign bailout. Rajoy yesterday called for the ECB to buy Spanish government debt investors are dumping to ease the government’s interest costs in a letter to European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso. “That is the battle we have to wage in Europe,” Rajoy told Parliament in Madrid. “I am waging it.” The EU and the ECB have already lent or pledged the equivalent of about 40 percent of Spain’s annual economic output to the state and country’s financial institutions. Spanish lenders took a record 287.8 billion Euros from the central bank in May, which many channelled into government debt to support the sovereign. The government agreed June 9 to borrow another 100 billion Euros from the EU to recapitalize the banks. Information provided by Currencies Direct, leading providers of foreign exchange.

Man Group Finance Director Steps Down

Kevin Hayes has stepped down as finance director of struggling hedge fund firm Man Group on the day the company is demoted from the FTSE 100. Jonathan Sorrell, Man’s head of strategy and corporate finance, will replace him at Europe’s largest listed hedge fund. Man, whose shares have slumped, is being replaced in the FTSE 100 list of the UK’s leading companies by Babcock. Mr Hayes is leaving to pursue “other interests”, Man said in a statement. He joined Man in 2007. Man Group shares have tumbled since the last FTSE review in March, and are down almost two-thirds since last year. The firm’s funds have struggled as cautious clients withdraw money because of the market turmoil caused by the Eurozone debt crisis.

Mr Sorrell, son of WPP advertising chief Sir Martin Sorrell, spent more than a decade at Goldman Sachs before joining Man last August. In a statement, Man chief executive Peter Clarke said Mr Sorrell’s experience “will be extremely valuable as we continue to develop and evolve in challenging world markets”.

It was hoped the Greek result would ease the pressure on the markets, but it has not done so with the risk premium at a new high of 565 and the costs of financing the debt bonds back above the ‘red line’ of 7% and stands at 7.13%. It’s a worrying situation for Spain which had a debt auction set for Tuesday (19th) with bonds of 12 and 18 months, and again on Thursday with bonds of two, three and five years. The IMF is looking for more money against the crisis to create a global firewall, and made a request at the G-20 summit in Mexico. The President of Mexico supports an increase in resources for the firewall, but emerging countries are resting increasing the help. The EU and the Euro were at the centre of the discussions at this G-20, but the European delegation arrived at the venue more divided than ever. Mariano Rajoy defended the need for the European Central Bank to act against speculation. The money brought in by IRPF Income Tax in Spain has fallen by 0.2% to April this year, despite the fact that the interest rates have risen. It shows how the fall in consumer spending has affected income from IVA to below expectations. The data comes from the Agencia Tributaria. The harvest in Spain is being hit by the high temperatures seen in the north of the country this Spring, with the lack of rain in the autumn and winter. Winter cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye have been particularly affected, and the sector expects a fall greater than 30% in production. Last year 16.3 million tons was harvested, this year 12.3 million tons is expected. Bad debts in credit rose in April to 8.72%, the highest seen for 18 years since May 1994. Since February the bad debt has risen by three tenths of a per cent and the sum of doubtful credits is now 152.7 billion euro according to the Bank of Spain. Shops and colleges in 31 locations in Asturias, Palencia and León have all closed on Monday (18th) in solidarity with the striking coal miners from the area, who are protesting at the cuts in aid to the industry. There were no incidents, with the exception of some interruption to traffic. An investigation commission into the control of the CAM savings bank did not read the minutes of the board. It was revealed in the court by the ex-member of the commission, Asunción Martínez, who said that when they met they ‘never’ had the minutes, but instead the General Director gave his verbal summary of matters treated. Following a denuncia, Banco Santader is to return 135.000 euros to clients for not informing them before about the sale of a product. The judge has ruled that the bank should have warned ‘expressly that it was not convenient’ because of the negative risks it represented. There are talks underway for the Catalana Occidente Group to buy Groupama Seguros. Should the operation be completed the merged companies will have six million clients in Spain. The National Commission of Market Values has been told that ‘exclusive contacts are underway’. Airline tickets have risen by 4.8% and the low costs operations are maintaining their passengers and no make up more than half the air traffic. The numbers are the first quarter in Spain and come from the National Statistics Institute, INE. The regions of Cataluña and Canaries lead the low cost arrivals in Spain.

Fitch Downgrades India’s O u t l o o k t o ‘ N e g a t i ve ’ Ratings agency Fitch has cut its outlook for the Indian economy to negative, saying the country’s growth faces “heightened risks”. Fitch warned India’s growth potential “will gradually deteriorate if further structural reforms are not hastened”. It also added that the government had made little progress on reducing its deficit. The downgrade comes just days after Standard & Poor’s warned that India could lose its investment grade status. “India also faces structural challenges surrounding its investment climate in the form of corruption and inadequate economic reforms,” Fitch said in a statement late on Monday. India’s economy has been going through a rough patch. It expanded at an annual rate of 5.3% in the first quarter, the slowest pace in nine years. There are fears that

growth may slow further in the near term amid increased global volatility. To make matters worse, consumer prices in the country have remained stubbornly high, making it difficult for the central bank to introduce measures to boost spending. On Monday (18th), the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) left its key interest rate unchanged despite pressure on it to lower borrowing costs. It cited high inflation as the key reason behind its decision.

Analysts said that given these conditions, India’s policymakers needed to introduce more reforms to sustain growth. “There is an even greater onus on effective government policies and reforms that would ensure India can navigate the turbulent global economic and financial environment and underpin confidence in the long-run growth potential of the Indian economy,” said Art Woo, Director in Fitch’s AsiaPacific Sovereign Ratings group.

Killer Was ‘Astonishingly Calm’ Rajoy Says Further

A British mother, who killed her daughter and infant son in a Spanish hotel room, was described as “astonishingly calm” when she showed police her dead children. Lianne Smith, 45, who once worked in child protection services, has confessed to smothering Rebecca, five, and 11-month-old Daniel with a plastic bag at the Costa Brava resort of Lloret de Mar. On the second day of her murder trial in Girona, Spain, police told the court what they discovered at the crime scene at the Miramar Hotel on 18th May, 2010. “I saw little knuckles, a baby’s knuckles, pointing out from under the sheets. First I found a baby and then a little girl,” said Agent 504 of the Lloret de Mar police, who was first on the scene. “I could see they were both dead.” The officer described how Mrs Smith had led them to the room and pointed at the beds where her children lay. “The woman was calm, she was not saying anything.” On Monday (18th), the opening day of the trial, the court heard how Mrs Smith had smothered each of her children with a plastic bag. She claimed to have done so because she feared they would be taken into care after her partner, a fugitive paedophile wanted in Britain, was arrested at their home in Barcelona. After spending the night alongside their lifeless bodies she walked to the hotel reception and asked them to

call police. Anna Savelieva, the hotel receptionist told the court on Tuesday: “I asked her if she needed help and she said ‘Just call the police, I will talk with them’.” When police arrived she was sitting in the hotel reception “constantly fixing herself up, tying and untying a neckerchief”. “I was shocked by her attitude, the astonishing calmness and coldness she displayed,” another officer, agent 2681 from the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan regional police force, told the court. The murders came days after Martin Smith, 46, the presumed father of the two dead children, had been arrested in Barcelona on a European arrest warrant. The couple, who were unmarried despite sharing the same surname, had fled to Spain from

Lichfield, Staffs, in 2007, after Mr Smith was accused of sexually abusing – over a period of 10 years – Mrs Smith’s eldest daughter, who waived her right to anonymity. The couple took Rebecca with them and Daniel was born in the Catalan city in 2009. Mr Smith, a former TV psychic and hypnotist, was extradited to Britain the day the children were killed, and in March 2011 was convicted of repeated rape of a minor and jailed for 16 years. He was found hanged in his cell at Manchester’s Strangeways prison in January. Mrs Smith faces a total of 38 years in prison if found guilty. Her lawyer is claiming she was in a state of “psychiatric disturbance” and is asking for an acquittal. The trial continues.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said further action is needed to make the economy “more flexible and competitive” after the International Monetary Fund called for wider reforms. But he stopped short of committing to specific measures, such as increasing sales tax and reducing public wages further, urged by the IMF. Madrid has already implemented drastic cuts to reduce its debt levels. The IMF said Spain was likely to miss its deficit target for this year. Spain is implementing spending cuts to try to slash its budget deficit to 5.3% from 8.5% in 2011. Many economists said the target was unrealistic when it was announced earlier this year. The IMF said Spain needed to raise revenue from taxes, and look at further spending cuts. Mr Rajoy responded by telling members of his Popular Party that: “We must undertake reforms which will make our economy more flexible and competitive. We have to prepare for the future.” Meanwhile, thousands

of demonstrators gathered outside Bankia’s headquarters in Madrid on Saturday evening (16th) to protest against the management of Spanish banks that were bailed out by the Eurozone last weekend. Spain was given 100bn euros ($125bn; £80bn) in emergency loans to help its struggling banks, which are severely under-capitalised following the collapse of the Spanish property market. Bankia alone lost 3bn euros in 2011. Earlier this year, the Spanish government announced 27bn euros of cuts from its budget as part of one of the toughest austerity drives in the country’s history. Changes included freezing unemployment benefits and public sector workers’ salaries, slashing departmental budgets and increasing tax on large companies. But the spending cuts and tax rises have undermined the economic recovery in Spain. The country is back in recession and has the highest unemployment rate in the Eurozone, with almost one in four workers out of a job.

K i n g A v o i d s D í v a r A t Expat Driven To Despair By Car Dealer Supreme Court Ceremony

King Juan Carlos cancelled his scheduled appearance on Monday (18th) at the Spanish Supreme Court’s bicentennial ceremony, over which Chief Justice Carlos Dívar is due to preside. The Zarzuela Palace announced on Sunday that the king had to suddenly change his agenda to travel to Jeddah to offer his personal condolences to the Saudi royal family after the death on Saturday of Crown Prince Nayef bin Abdul Aziz. The change in schedule comes as Dívar finds himself ever more isolated over growing demands for his resignation, after it emerged that taxpayers footed a bill of nearly 30,000 euros for 32 long weekend trips he has taken to Marbella and other luxury Spanish destinations since coming to office in 2008. The Zarzuela royal palace made clear that the change in the king’s agenda was due

to the death of the 78-yearold Saudi prince. Prince Felipe, who will stand in for his father at the Supreme Court’s bicentennial opening ceremony on Monday, was unable to go on the Jeddah trip due to an engagement he already had scheduled later in the day in Casablanca, where he will attend a business forum. He will then travel to the United States, palace officials explained. Nevertheless, in 2011, when previous Saudi heir Sultan bin Abdul Aziz died, it was Felipe who flew to Riyadh to represent his father. The Spanish and Saudi royal families have close ties,

which has led to a number of business opportunities, including the construction of an AVE high-speed rail link to Mecca that is currently underway. The change in King Juan Carlos’ schedule came 24 hours after the death of Nayef bin Abdul Aziz and Saturday’s special meeting of the General Council of the Judiciary legal watchdog, after which it was leaked that Dívar is likely to resign. Instead the panel allowed him to stay on at his request so that he could preside over the three-day bicentennial ceremonies.

Rodney Quinn, 59, a former Royal Marine, claims staff at the Sertesa concession in Málaga increased the final price and duped him into signing a blank loan agreement after buying a second-hand Land Rover Freelander last December. Quinn, who lives in Velez Málaga, claims he agreed a final sale price of 35,000 Euros with a down payment of 10,000 Euros and a loan of six per cent over five years. But when he questioned why he had to sign a blank loan agreement, he claims he was assured it was normal practice in Spain. “Six weeks later I received a copy of the financial agreement but the figures were not the same as we had agreed,” Quinn said. “The final price was 46,640 Euros, plus the registration number was not on it and the car was down as a new car.” Quinn later returned to the showroom to demand an explanation but claims the staff insulted him, “They just said ‘stupid English, you signed it’ and were very rude. The salesman even argued he had done me a favour as they are not allowed to give a payment plan for second-hand cars and couldn’t see why I was annoyed. But I am living off a war pension, I cannot afford to pay more than what we agreed on, and I am the victim of fraud.”

He continued: “Land Rover finance even admitted at one point they were wrong but said that I would have to pay to fix all the paperwork. I am now being harassed by the staff. I am getting eight calls a day from them saying I am behaving badly and that I need to pay. I just want my money back now. I will return the car.” When a reporter called Sertesa a spokesman claimed the allegations were false. “It is a lie that we asked him to sign a blank document; he signed it in front of me. This contract has everything it should. “He still needs to pay for the car, and the matter is now being dealt with by our lawyer.” Meanwhile a spokesman for Land Rover said it has nothing to do with the matter. Quinn confirmed that this week he had been to see the head of Málaga’s anticorruption department. “They are going to prosecute for falsification of documents,” he said.

Redknapp Puts Spurs Sacking Behind Him

Harry Redknapp has been quick to get back on the terrace following his sacking by Tottenham Hotspur last week, but only to enjoy a consoling meal with friends and family on the Costa del Sol. The 65-year-old put a brave face on his disappointment as he dined al fresco with 14 of his nearest and dearest at La Sala restaurant in Marbella. The former West Ham

and Portsmouth boss who until recently was a leading contender for the England job -had earlier spent Sunday evening pondering what might have been as he watched the

European Championship match between Portugal and Holland on TV. Redknapp has come to Spain with his wife Sandra after his shock dismissal by the North London club, which followed their failure to secure a lucrative Champions League spot next season. “It has been a hard few months and I just want to keep my head down and take a break,” Redknapp said.

State Steps In To Ryanair Row

A war of words has erupted over Ryanair’s decision to scale back its flight programme from Alicante airport as the government stepped into the fray, accusing the company of reducing flights for purely economic reasons and not because it was being forced to use the telescopic air bridges. In answer to a question put by Joan Baldoví of Compromis-Q in congress, a government spokesman said that Ryanair was using the controversy to carry through decision it had already made for economic reasons. He added that the final decision of any airline company that operates out of Alicante is solely theirs and it is based purely

on their business plan. In a written document the government reiterates that the stumbling block to Ryanair’s decision to reduce its schedule at El Altet was not the use of the air bridges and that it had decided on making cutbacks at Girona airport as early as 2011.

PM Stresses That IVA Will Not Go Up

Mariano Rajoy has refused to carry out the measures recommended by the International Monetary Fund (FMI), which include increasing IVA, reducing public sector salaries and eliminating tax breaks for owning a first home. Rajoy stressed that despite the pressure from the FMI, these measures were no more than recommendations – as opposed to orders – and that at present Spain’s government’s priorities lie more in reducing public debt. The Bank of Spain has already said that increasing taxes and cutting wages – effectively reducing spending power – was in fact counter-productive. Rajoy added that with the EU bail-out recently approved, banks would soon be in a position to

offer finance on credit again and this would boost the economy and therefore job prospects. However, he stated that as it was the banks which would be getting the money, it was also up to the banks to pay it back, not the taxpayer. “We need more political, fiscal and bank integration in order to transmit the message to the world that the common currency in the EU is not reversible,” Rajoy added.

“Because if not, it will create uncertainty among investors.” Among the causes of Spain’s current dire financial situation – mostly relating to overspending and debt – Rajoy added that the country’s business environment is anything but competitive. “If we do not sell, we do not produce, and lack of production means lack of employment,” he remarked.

Sham Marriage Gang Busted

National Police have arrested 17 people in connection with a ‘green card’ marriage racket operating throughout the country. Based in Alcalá de Henares, Parla, and Torrejón de Ardoz (Madrid), the gang was said to have matched up around 15 different couples where one party was a Spanish national and another was an illegal immigrant. During house raids in Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, San Sebastián, Madrid and Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), they found fake ID

cards, driving licences, civil registry certificates and the equipment for making these. In some cases, the accused parties are said to have acted as official witnesses at the marriage unions. Investigations started a month ago in the province of Cádiz, when it was found that

a woman from Equatorial Guinea, who had Spanish nationality, had applied for her family to join her in Spain – on 15 different occasions. Police inquiries found that the documentation for the visa applications was forged, and that the woman had carried out a number of transactions of this nature as part of the operations of the gang she was involved with. Spanish nationals were paid vast sums of money to ‘marry’ illegal immigrants, mostly from central African countries, officers say.

British Expats Beat Spanish Bank In Six-Year Property Feud

A Spanish bank that refused to return off-plan deposits belonging to 47 British expats who invested in a failed Spanish property development has been ordered to repay 1.5million Euros, following a sixyear legal battle. Known collectively as the Finca Parcs Action Group, the expats each paid between 10,00070,000 Euros in deposits for off-plan homes on a ‘luxury development’ near Murcia, only for the developer to disappear and Spain’s fourth biggest savings bank, Caja de Ahorros del Mediterraneo (CAM), to withhold their down payments. Keith Rule who has headed the action group and fought for the return of his 53,000 Euros, said: “For far too long Spain has alienated the very people who once helped the country prosper. Now the Spanish Government must

learn important lessons from this case. If these types of cases are dealt with in a fair and speedy manner then maybe some of those people who have been the victims of negligence and malpractice may once again have the confidence to invest in Spanish property. After all, that is what Spain wants and more importantly, desperately needs.” CAM bank was the sole financial entity in the project, responsible for financing the development, accepting the off-plan deposits and issuing the corresponding, legally required, bank guarantee certificates to buyers. In 2009, four years after the first deposits were handed over, the developer abandoned the development and disappeared, having built only a fraction of the homes, while the expats were still without the required bank guarantees, despite repeated requests.

Talks To Form New Greek Government Going Well, Officials Say

Greece is hopeful a government could be formed as early as Wednesday after the leaders of three political parties signalled that talks among them were going well.

Representatives of New Democracy, Pasok and the Democratic Party of the Left, huddled at Parliament in Athens on Tuesday evening, state broadcaster ERT reported. They plan to meet again Wednesday afternoon. Evangelos Venizelos, head of Pasok, which placed third in Sunday’s election, said he believes a government could be formed, based on the current situation. Greece hasn’t had an elected government for 223 days. In a televised address, Venizelos said he had proposed the formation of a national task force to renegotiate the terms of Greece’s unpopular international bailout. Greeks went to the polls Sunday as the country struggles to get out of the political and financial mire that threatens to drag down Europe’s common currency and spark a new global financial crisis. The centre-right New Democracy party, which broadly favours Greece meeting international debt obligations, narrowly came in first place and has been holding talks on forming a coalition. It has three days from when the results were announced, on Monday afternoon, in which to form a government. The head of New Democracy said Monday he wants a wide coalition. “There should be government of

national salvation with as many parties as possible,” Antonis Samaras told reporters. The leader of the Democratic Party of the Left, Fotis Kouvelis, held talks Tuesday with Venizelos and Monday with Samaras. Samaras called the discussions with the fourth-place party “constructive.” The leftist party has supported bailouts from international lenders while seeking to renegotiate the terms. With almost all ballots counted, New Democracy had won nearly 30% of the vote, the Interior Ministry said, giving the party 129 seats in the country’s 300-seat Parliament. Alexis Tsipras, the fiery leader of the leftist Syriza party, which came in second, met with Samaras but said Monday he would not back a coalition. “History and the people will judge them by their results,” Tsipras said of the parties

Canada Dismemberment Suspect Denies Charges

A Canadian porn actor suspected of killing and dismembering a university student in Montreal pleaded not guilty on Tuesday (19th) to all the charges against him, the prosecution office in Quebec said. Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, faces first-degree murder and other charges in the death and dismemberment of Jun Lin, a 33-year-old Concordia University student from China. Ahead of the hearing, police said Magnotta would appear in the Montreal courtroom via video link. He arrived in Canada on Monday from Germany, a police official said. He was in police custody when he flew back aboard a Canadian military plane. Magnotta did not fight extradition from Germany after his arrest there this month. “Now the alleged killer is in Montreal, and he’ll be facing justice,” police spokesman Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere told reporters Monday at the Montreal-Mirabel International Airport, where the suspect’s plane touched down in the

company of half a dozen officers. “This is not the end of the investigation,” Lafreniere said. Authorities accuse Magnotta of dismembering Lin and mailing one of his hands and one of his feet to Canadian politicians. Police also believe Magnotta filmed the death and dismemberment and posted the video to the Internet. They have said the video shows Magnotta engaged in sexual acts involving body parts and also includes evidence of cannibalism. The Canadian government worked with Montreal police, the Quebec Prosecution Service and German officials to bring about Magnotta’s extradition, officials said. Berlin police arrested Magnotta at an Internet cafe where he was browsing articles about himself. An employee of the cafe recognised him and flagged down a carload of

German police trainees. The arrest ended an international manhunt that began after the body parts were mailed. Authorities have said they believe Magnotta killed Lin on 24th or 25th May, posted the video, and then flew to France on 26th May. He was thought to have boarded a bus to Berlin on 1st June while police were searching for him in Paris, Berlin prosecutors have said. The case began when a caller complained to police about a strong smell coming from an alley behind Magnotta’s Montreal apartment building, Lafreniere has said. Investigators found a torso stuffed inside a suitcase. The same day, officials at Canada’s Conservative Party headquarters received a package addressed to Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, that contained a foot. Officials later intercepted a package addressed to the Liberal Party that contained a hand. DNA tests showed both were Lin’s, Lafreniere has said. The victim’s head is still missing.

backing the existing bailout deal with the creditors who are keeping Greece afloat. “Shortly we will be vindicated.” He said his party’s nearly 27% showing had forced Greek leaders to realise the bailout is “nonviable,” and said Syriza would press as a member of the opposition for the bailouts to be scrapped. Syriza, which campaigned against the terms of the bailout, got 71 seats. Pasok, which long dominated Greek politics, won 33. Four smaller parties took fewer than two dozen seats each. The vote was widely seen as a referendum on whether Greece should remain tied to the euro, the currency used by 325 million people across 17 countries in Europe. The possibility of a “no” vote roiled world markets, with some analysts warning that the collapse of the euro would cost $1 trillion. Samaras said he would build a government of “parties that believe in the nation’s European orientation, that believe in the euro.” But he acknowledged that government budget cuts forced on the country by international lenders have caused suffering among Greeks. The new government will have to make changes “in order for the Greek people to escape the torturous reality of unemployment and unbelievable difficulties that every Greek family faces today,” Samaras said after meeting with the president. International bailouts have kept Greece from defaulting in the face of an on-going recession and low tax revenue, but lenders have demanded hugely unpopular government budget cuts in exchange. Some observers had predicted that efforts to renegotiate the bailout could lead to a run on Greek banks and deeper misery.

Mubarak Revived After Cardiac Arrest

Conflicting reports emerged late Tuesday (19th) over whether the 84-year-old former president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, had died. The state-run Middle East News Agency, citing medical sources, said he was declared clinically dead shortly after arriving at a military hospital in Cairo, where he was taken after suffering a stroke and cardiac arrest earlier in the day. But Gen. Mamdouh Shahin, a member of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, told CNN, “He is not clinically dead as reported, but his health is deteriorating and he is in critical condition.” Adel Saeed, the official spokesman of the Egyptian prosecutor, had said earlier, “We were informed by prison authority that Mubarak’s heart has stopped and they used electric shocks and CPR to resurrect him. He is now on an artificial respirator and

The man, who has not been named, allegedly told his wife he would be home late that night as he needed to supervise building work on their new house. But he had no idea his wife had taken advantage of her free evening by booking a room for herself and her secret boyfriend at the same hotel, which is popular with people having affairs. The truth came out only when the pair emerged in various states of undress after a power cut. A witness, identified only as Salma, told Kenya’s Standard newspaper that ‘all hell broke loose’ when the furious pair realised their double deception. The husband and wife reportedly

doctors from the armed forces and International Medical Centre will inspect him.” Elizabeth Cohen, CNN’s senior medical correspondent, said that “clinically dead” usually refers to someone who is brain-dead. In such a case, an electroencephalogram would indicate no real brain activity, she said. Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison on 2nd June for the killing of pro-democracy demonstrators last year. He already was suffering from health problems and

attended court on a gurney. His health has been reported to be in decline since he was ousted as president of Egypt in February 2011. On 11th June, a prosecutor’s spokesman said Mubrak’s health deteriorated after the verdict, and that defibrillators had been used several times to revive him “due to heart complications.” Mubarak’s latest health crisis came on a day when both candidates who participated in a presidential runoff claimed victory.

‘wrestled each other to the ground’ before being thrown out by hotel staff. Salma said: ‘I saw the woman scream and grab her husband who slapped her hard out of fury. The lovers, who were still in the rooms, were attracted by the loud confrontation but found man and wife tearing into each other. They both quickly slipped through the door and disappeared into the darkness.’ The angry incident took place at a hotel, in the township of Mlolongo (Nairobi), two weeks ago. Staff believe the couple were both regular clients at the roadside establishment.

Pakistani Singer Killed In Drive-By Shooting A popular female Pakistani singer who defied the Taliban’s decree against singing and dancing was shot and killed in northwest Pakistan Monday night (18th), police and hospital officials have said. Authorities described the singer’s ex-husband as a suspect in the case, and said early indications were that the Taliban were not involved, according to police official Imtiaz Altaf. Ghazala Javed, who recorded scores of songs in her native Pashto language and became a household name among young, progressive ethnic Pashtuns in northwest Pakistan, had just left a beauty salon and was driving home with her father when gunmen on a motorcycle raced towards their car and sprayed it with bullets, Altaf said. Javed was hit with six bullets and pronounced dead at

a hospital in Peshawar, the capital of Pakistan’s KhyberPakhtunkhwa province, according to hospital official Rahim Afridi. Javed’s father also was killed, police said. In recent years the rise of the Pakistani Taliban in the region and the group’s ban against singing and dancing made it difficult for Javed and other musical artists to perform and record songs in Pakistan. Javed recorded and taped many of her latest songs and music videos in nearby Dubai. Last year Javed made headlines when she

asked for a divorce from her husband after she reportedly found out that he had at least one other wife. It was a rare decision in a deeply conservative and male-dominated society where many view a woman’s demand for a divorce as a dishonour to the husband. Shortly after Monday night’s shooting police released a statement saying Javed’s sister had accused her ex-husband and two of his acquaintances. Investigators said a search was underway for the three men.

Cameron Refuses Falklands Letter From Argentina

David Cameron has refused to accept a letter from Argentina’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, about her country’s claim to the Falkland Islands after an awkward exchange at the G20 summit. The prime minister said she should ‘respect the views’ of islanders during a verbal exchange between the pair in Mexico. Ms Fernández, who was accused by Mr Cameron’s aides of being involved in a ‘stunt’ for a TV crew, attempted to force a brown envelope into the British premier’s hands. However, he had been briefed by aides not to accept and refused to take it. Speaking shortly afterwards, Argentinian foreign minister Hector Timerman said: ‘Nation states have the obligation to talk. We prepared an envelope containing various papers but the prime minister

refused to receive it. Britain continues to refuse to talk and what surprised me most was that David Cameron did not go to the decolonisation meeting on Thursday.’ Earlier, Mr Cameron had sought out Ms Fernández in the margins at the summit for a brief exchange on the Falklands issue. During a brief conversation, he said: ‘I am not proposing a full discussion now on the Falklands, but I hope you noted they are holding a

referendum and you should respect their views. We believe in selfdetermination and act as democrats here in the G20.’ However, during a later press conference Mr Timerman again returned to the conflict, adding: ‘The UK is the most famous colonialist in the world, not Argentina. They cannot demand to other countries to respect [UN] resolutions when they do not do so.’

Colombian General To Fight Drug Charge

A retired Colombian police general accused of drug trafficking says he will face the charges head-on. A US court has accused Gen Mauricio Santoyo of helping Colombian drug gangs and right-wing paramilitaries to smuggle cocaine to Mexico and the US. He allegedly committed the crimes while he was serving as the head of security for the Colombian president at the time, Alvaro Uribe. Mr Uribe has urged Gen Santoyo to answer the charges. The US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has indicted Gen Santoyo on conspiracy to distribute cocaine “knowing and intending that it would be unlawfully imported to the United States”. Gen Santoyo allegedly helped a drug gang called Office of Envigado and right-wing paramilitaries of the United Self Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC) to smuggle cocaine from Colombia through Mexico and Central America to the United States. According to the indictment, he provided intelligence information collected by the Colombian security forces to drug traffickers. Prosecutors say this included information about the whereabouts of rival dealers, who would later turn up dead, presumed killed by the drug traffickers to whom Gen Santoyo had handed the information. The indictment also accuses the general of tipping off drug dealers about impending security operations by the Colombian forces, the US Drug Enforcement Administration and British counter-narcotics agents. The prosecution says that in exchange for his help, the AUC and the Office of Envigado paid Gen Santoyo sizeable bribes. Gen Santoyo said he was certain he would be able to rebut all the charges made against him. “I served Colombia for more than 30 years in the

National Police, and I’m sure I can dispel any doubts about my actions”, he told Colombian newspaper El Tiempo on Monday. The charges had first been reported on Saturday by El Tiempo, which had seen a copy of the indictment. Asked for a response to the charges, he said he “couldn’t well answer until I know the document in question”. “I always have been and will continue to be at the disposal of the relevant authorities to dispel any accusations made against me,” he said. Colombian Police Director Gen Jose Roberto Leon Riano said the police had not yet received an arrest warrant for Gen Santoyo. “As soon as we receive a formal request, we will offer our full collaboration,” Gen Leon Riano said. Gen Santoyo served as the commander of Colombia’s elite counter-terrorism force from 2000 to 2002. From 2002 to 2006 he was the head of security for the president at the time, Alvaro Uribe. According to the indictment, it was during this time period that he conspired with the Office of Envigado and the AUC. Mr Uribe tweeted that he hoped that “Santoyo and the police institution would explain the case”. Gen Santoyo is the highest ranking police officer to be investigated over drug charges.

Wimbledon Grand Slam Starts Monday 25 June BBC 1 - 1:45 pm th

As the grass court season begins, Andy Murray knows that his life is not his own. For the coming weeks, he will be watched, filmed, photographed and analysed as a desperate nation hopes and waits for a fellow Brit to follow in Fred Perry’s footsteps and win the men’s title at Wimbledon. So, what does our local hero look forward to as he puts the finishing touches to his preparations? The white heat of Centre Court competition? The roar of the crowd and the smell of the grass? Er, no. He is looking forward to spending two months sleeping in his own bed. Don’t knock it – no matter how rich and famous you are, if you live out of a suitcase, being at home is bliss. “One part of the grass season which is nice is that I get to spend an extended time at home,” he said, happily. “And this year, with it being the Olympics, I will be there for the next couple of months.” But never think that Murray is taking it easy (he is not a pipe-and-slippers sort of bloke); this frantic few weeks on the green stuff is one his favourite times of year – and his most profitable. His stint at home did not start too well – he lost in his opening match at the AEGON Championships – but he was not unduly concerned. A few practise sets, an exhibition match or two and he knows that he will be will right as rain. “It’s just different,” Scotland’s finest explained. “It’s such a short season. In some ways the rest of the season can get boring in away. Grass is so different. It’s nice for me, anyway. My body doesn’t hurt.

Simon Schama’s Shakespeare: This England

BBC 2 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm In Shakespeare and Us, Simon Schama will argue that it is impossible to understand how Shakespeare came to belong ‘to all time’, without understanding just how much he was of his time. In his histories and tragedies, Shakespeare explored questions we are all still asking ourselves today: What is this England? What makes this Nation? Behind the mask of royalty, who are our Kings and Queens? Simon Schama explores how in his history plays Shakespeare created a vision of England

that still rings true today. The Protestant Reformation had left the country bitterly divided, a fault-line which ran through Shakespeare’s own family, and left the countrty deeply unsure of its own identity. Against this backdrop, Shakespeare began to dramatize English history and the English character in a new and unprecedented way. From his first blockbuster, Henry VI, he made sure that his England wasn’t just a place where King and Queens strutted and preened, but where ordinary Englishmen and women took centre stage.

The Secret History Of Our Streets: Portland Road

BBC 2 - 9:00 - 10:00 pm Charles Booth’s vast 1886 Survey of London ranked each of London’s streets according to the class of its residents - including Portland Road in Notting Hill.

This week the series reveals how its fortunes have ebbed and flowed over in the last 125 years, leaving it one of the most financially divided streets in Britain. Today it’s the archetypal London banker street, lined with six million pound homes

for hedge fund managers. But when Booth visited in 1899 it was the worse slum in London - and still today the top one percent in Britain by income and the bottom five percent live on the same street. Told through the personal stories of Portland Road’s remarkably diverse range of residents, past and present - including Lords, bankers and slum dwellers - the film tells the story of one of the most divided streets in Britain.

Then, taking to the road Brendan uncovers the simple but brilliant secret that made a British motorcycle the world’s first superbike and gave Marlon Brando his defining rebel image. Celebrities including Tony Robinson, Maureen Lipman, Janet Street-Porter, Derek Jameson and Tim Rice recall the impact the car had on

family holidays, while Brendan tests out the bizarre and dangerous lengths people went to in order to obtain the most coveted status symbol; a sun tan. And this obsession for sunnier climes eventually led to holidaying Brits making for foreign shores, a goal made easier by the introduction of the de Havilland Comet: the world’s first passenger jet and another British invention.

Tenerife Weekly - 22nd June - 28th June 2012 CALDERS CONFESSIONS

New beginning

At this time of year I always vow to make more of my life, and change the things I’m unhappy with. But the truth is, I’m not happy with my husband. We’ve been married for 20 years and have two grown up children but for the past few years I feel like I’m dead inside. There’s no passion, excitement, let alone decent conversation between us. Until now I’ve stayed with him out of duty, but I’m so miserable I don’t really see the point. But at the same time, it seems so selfish to risk upsetting the whole family just so I can be happy. Valerie, 51

Calders Confessions

Calder spent twelve years working as PA and Copresenter with Jeremy Kyle on various radio stations, he is now a Freelance Radio Presenter where he answers listeners´dilemmas each Sunday night on the airwaves. We are also very grateful to have him here, answering your questions and queries as part of the Tenerife Weekly team. If you have an issue you can`t overcome or just need general help and confidential advice, why not email Calder: calder@tenerife-weekly.com

A couple of things come to mind Valerie. Firstly, are you really sure there’s no hope for your marriage? We can all be guilty of letting things

Mum’s a memory

Thirty years ago I gave birth to twins. When they were six months old I ran off with a friend of the family, Bob, who I’d fallen in love with. I tried to keep in contact with the twins but my ex refused to let me see them, returning my Christmas cards and presents, moving house so I couldn’t find them, and going ex directory. In the meantime, I set up a new life and got married to Bob. With each year that passed the guilt of not seeing my daughters ate away at me but with nothing I could do about it I tried to focus on my new life with Bob. Now, 30 years later, I’ve heard I’ve got grandchildren but still haven’t seen my daughters. Part of me wants to track them down and make amends for what a terrible mum I’ve been, another part of me is worried that seeing them after all these years will be too much for me to cope and I’ll have a breakdown. Iris, 55, from Glasgow

Just reading your letter sweetheart, it’s patently obvious that you have to go and find your girls. There’s no point in me going over old ground here but I am truly amazed that you have waited so long.

go off the boil in our relationships. You say the passion and excitement has gone but have you done anything to try to bring it back? I’m certainly not telling you to put up with things as they are but I’m convinced that people give up far too easily at times. Of course the other possibility is that your marriage is, as you seem to believe, dead and buried. Only you can decide what the reality is here madam and only you can decide what the right thing to do is. Hanging in there because you don’t want to upset anyone else is hardly going to change the way you feel. Take a deep breath and look at your marriage, if it can be re-invented then give it a go, if it can’t then think of your own happiness and call it a day. Ultimately, it’s kinder to everyone concerned to be upfront and honest, even if the initial reaction is one of shock. Good luck.

Every day that passes put more distance between you and your own flesh and blood. Of course it will be hard and you will have a lot of explaining to do but your daughters are probably just as curious as you are. These days, finding long lost relatives is a whole lot easier so all you really have to do is make the decision to start looking. 30 years is a long time so you know full well you can’t go charging in and calling the shots when you do find your family. If you do want to pursue this, make your first contact by letter, explain the circumstances surrounding your departure 30 years ago and just be honest about how you feel today. I can’t promise that you will be welcomed with open arms but I know for a fact that the yearning you are feeling inside isn’t going to go away until you bite the bullet and do something about it.

Secret struggle

Me and my husband have two kids and have agreed we can’t afford any more but the other day I found out I am pregnant. I’m on the pill so I don’t know how it happened, but I don’t know what to do. I’ve spoken to my doctor about an abortion but the NHS can’t fit me in for a few weeks so I don’t know how I’ll cope over Christmas and the New Year with this secret. To make matters worse, my husband’s just been made redundant so we’ll be struggling financially as it is, and I don’t want to add to his worries. But I’m throwing up all the time so I’m convinced he’ll work it out. Natasha, 23

I must be missing something here Natasha, exactly why would you want to keep this a secret? OK, your old man is having a tough time at the moment but I think he deserves to know you’re pregnant again, don’t you? Keeping this to yourself puts you under immense pressure and, to be honest, I don’t follow your reasoning at all. Facing this alone is going to be very tough indeed and imagine what your husband will think and feel when he discovers you’ve been hiding such a massive secret from him. You’re a married couple and you should face life as a married couple, certainly not as strangers! Sit down and talk this whole thing through, accidents do happen so there really is no blame to consider. Nobody’s life is one smooth journey all the way; we all have problems and issues that arise. If you’re not open and honest about this pregnancy, you run the risk of causing very real damage to your relationship. Have the conversation, decide how to handle this and get on with your life.

Tenerife Weekly - 22nd June - 28th June 2012 PETS’ PAGE

Welcome to Tenerife Weekly’s Pets’ Page

Pets’ Corner

My name is Steph and some of you may have heard me on Coast FM each Thursday when I try to find good homes for fantastic pets. Each week this page will be filled with both useful and entertaining information to keep you up to date with the world of pets here in the Canaries.

A Cautionary Tale Please Take Heed!

It is with much relief that I write this article, and I very nearly didn’t. This afternoon follows an incredibly stressful weekend about which I felt compelled to write, if for no other reason than to prevent what happened from happening again. We all know that giving bones to dogs is a big no no and my husband and I have always stressed to guests at BBQ’s never to give any to our dogs. However shop bought bones, trotters and rawhides are fairly standard treats for our canine friends and are given without any thought. Our story started last Friday when we purchased a pig’s foot

from a particular chain of pet shops as a treat for our dog. As she got close to finishing she began to struggle and gasp for breath. It became apparent that part of the foot had got stuck and so we set about trying to induce vomiting and placed her in a cold bath to cool her down. Eventually she vomited up what appeared to be the offending article and all seemed well, however over the course of the weekend she seemed to deteriorate. She was unable to keep food down and ultimately lost her appetite completely; becoming very lethargic. First thing Monday morning we were outside the vet awaiting

the doors to open and in we went for X-Rays and treatment. The prognosis looked good and suggested that the problem was simply swelling in the throat, however late afternoon we received a call to say further X-Rays had showed a lump of bone lodged deep down in her oesophagus and we were to take her to another vet for surgery. The second vet booked her in for Tuesday morning and in she went to see if they could remove the piece of trotter via endoscopy, entering via the throat. We were

Acción del Sol’s weekly news By Karen Clack One very lucky dog has found a new home with Debbie Parkinson from Santa Cruz, after her bad start in life the future definitely now looks rosy for Clara and her new owner. Aktion Tier is a German based organisation that helps animals big and small all over the world. For more information please follow this link: www. aktiontier.org Therefore this week I have decided to submit an article on cats, which was sent by the German vets from Aktion Tier, on a rather serious nature regarding the treating of cats for ticks; which now summer is on its why, are rife here in sunny Tenerife.

Ticks are blood sucking parasites that live on

the exterior of your cat and, left untreated, can prove fatal. Many pet owners buy repellent against ticks from the pharmacy or via the Internet, which are applied to the skin to ensure no ticks attach themselves. But please be aware some drugs are extremely toxic to cats. All products containing the active ingredient permethrin, must not be used in cats. Cats can die in a very short time as this is extremely poisonous to them. If such a product is administered to your cat then wash the pet’s skin as soon as possible and seek veterinary assistance immediately. Please ensure you use the correct drugs for your cats. Dog treatments are highly dangerous and toxic to cats, please read the product inserts carefully of drugs purchased via the Internet. Please also remember to keep your cat away from a newly treated dog with a tick/flea treatment as this can also contaminate the cat. Aktion Tier advises purchasing products directly from your vet for the safety of your pet and for your own peace of mind. Please call 922 778 630 for more information or if you would like to help out in anyway. Towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs if you have any to spare. They would be very much appreciated by our four legged friends. The refuge is situated at Poligono De Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER the Parque Eolica where the windmills are and it is open to the public Monday - Friday 3-6pm.

The Offending Bone then just to wait for the call. The call came and the news was not good. She needed to have her chest opened up and, as the bone was so close to her heart it was extremely risky and 50/50 as to whether she would survive. Of course we agreed, and then came the very long three hour wait. The call eventually came and we were beside ourselves with joy to hear that the news was good. She had come through. We are still in the throes of bill paying for this, but so far that

1.50 Euro dog treat has mounted up to around 750 Euros. Our girl is, of course, worth every penny and putting her to sleep was never an option as far as we were concerned. After speaking with the vet we were informed that this was the second case this week with the exact same dog treat – a pig’s foot. I will be taking this up with the pet shop in question, as, I am told, will the other person, but it would seem that this particular dog treat is not one that is entirely safe, be it because of the way it breaks down or the way the foot is formed. Please be aware when giving your dog a bone or similar treat. Even with my education, hiccups can happen and the outcome could have been very very different for us.

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

F a c e b o o k

There is nothing I like more than being a Facebooker. It’s great fun being able to keep in contact with my friends and acquaintances. I don’t watch much TV. I prefer peace and quiet in the home, not even any music. I have a Facebook account and every day I leave messages for friends and photos of the show. It’s fun. It isn’t serious, just a lark! Just recently, someone has managed to get into my account and has not only deleted a number of my friends, but also some of my photos and other things from my main page. A couple of my friends, understandably, feel upset that I’d deleted them or blocked them. I have explained to them, and all but two have

accepted me back as their friends. Those who haven’t? Well, it’s their loss! I fail to understand what people get out of hacking computers or creating viruses that damage thousands of people’s computers. They must lead very lonely and sad lives if they have the need to hurt people or damage their friendships etc. It is a kind of perversion and I feel very, very sorry for them indeed. What a shame that they can’t put their knowledge and obvious talent to better use and do something good for people instead. If any of you have a problem like I have with Facebook, you must change your password as soon as possible. I didn’t, and lost even more information from my page.

Party Time

As many of you know, I live in the North of the Island, in La Orotava. This week has been like bedlam in town. There have been umpteen parties and celebrations as the Corpus Christi has been taking place. The carpets were, as usual phenomenal. The front of the town hall and the surrounding streets are covered with carpets of sand and flower petals and thousands of people come to La Orotava to witness the spectacle. There was an amazing romeria, where specially made traditional carts parade through the streets offering free wine, cider and beer as well as typical Canarian food. For me, the end of the romeria provides the best entertainment as the odd inhabitant awkwardly swaggers home looking more than a little worse for wear.

In The North

The Tenerife weekly is now being distributed in the Puerto de La Cruz area and can be found in The English Library and at Sitio Litre, in the Orchid Garden. It is also available in various British owned bars in the town. I have heard so many wonderful comments about the paper that I feel proud to be a part of the writing team. The story last week about the man who got his tackle caught in a metal pipe had everyone in hysterics and has been the topic of conversation over the last few days.

Red Eyed The Queen was seen this week at the trooping of the colour with a bloodshot eye. The press had a field day. The palace even made a statement that there was nothing seriously wrong with the Queen. For God’s sake. The Lady is 86 years old.

It is often the stories that seem almost unbelievable that are the best to read. With that in mind, a friend of mine has told me of a restaurant in London where the staff are extremely rude to the customers, ignoring them, bumping into them, putting three people from a group of four onto a table and putting the other person on a table with strangers etc. Sometimes they give them the wrong order etc. I hear that THE PLACE IS PACKED every night! Someone has latched on to a very clever idea. I know a few waters over here that probably trained there!

She has just gone through one of the most gruelling schedules that anyone could go through. What do the press expect? She is most probably extremely tired. At 86, most people would rather be sat in front of the fire with a cup of Horlicks and a sponge finger. Good for her and God bless her. Unlike that other British Institution, British Rail, Elizabeth never stops!

Welcome to Karoline’s Kitchen

Let celebrate this week, as it’s one of my very good friends, Emskies birthday on Friday. We don’t normally need an excuse to party, but this Friday night we will be celebrating in style. A homemade cake is always a nice touch for the birthday girl or boy so why not surprise

Add the flour and baking powder and then a little milk just to loosen the mixture. Line two 7” baking tins with butter and parchment paper. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake on a moderate heat for approximately 20-25 minutes or until you push a knife into the middle and it comes away clean. Let it cool completely and then spread jam or butter icing in the middle and sandwich them together, a sprinkling of icing sugar will top your cake off or you can decorate as you wish. Remember that once cooked and cooled you can then freeze for up to 6 weeks.

Using a wooden spoon, or electric whisk, beat the mixture until smooth. Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. The mixture will appear very runny at this moment. Divide the cake mixture between the two tins and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease and line two 7” baking tins. Place all of the ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl.

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins. Ice as you wish using chocolate icing or butter icing.

Tenerife Weekly - 22nd June - 28th June 2012 TECHNOPHILE

‘DiRT: Showdown’ Review

DiRT: Showdown is being billed as the arcade spinoff of Codemasters’ long-running DiRT franchise, but beneath the surface it is much more than that. The game is a new direction for both DiRT and Codemasters Racing; a US redneck-inspired circus of twisted metal, soundtracked by the guttural bark of muscle cars and the noxious aroma of spent nitrous. It’s a game born out of the Gymkhana mode in 2011’s DiRT 3; what has resulted is a rowdy, disobedient son of DiRT, featuring a full career mode, online and local multiplayer and the return of the Joyride sandbox mode, but in even larger sandbox worlds of Battersea and Yokohama Docks. Showdown’s target market is people who want quick, easy and accessible racing; they want speed, they want crashes, and they want to show off to their mates. The vehicle handling has been made a lot more forgiving, meaning it is now easier to pull off doughnuts or tight drifts around corners. But the game retains a sense of challenge in the driver AI, which is extremely aggressive. Body contact is a must, and computer-controlled drivers have no qualms in slamming into you with merciless glee. Working similarly to other arcade-oriented titles, a nitrous boost system features in Showdown, managed by a power bar that is charged by crashing into people - the better the smash, the more boost you get. You can also drift around corners, do jumps and generally drive like a maniac - in fact, it’s pretty much essential in Showdown. If the game was a motorsport, it would be American Demolition Derby - gurning in the face of the dapper dons of Formula One. Essentially, the game focuses on a series of core modes. Race Off! involves a straight race against a series of opponents, but the action is fully oriented towards destruction, as bonnets peel off, and cars flip on their side at speed. Racing is given a twist in Elimination, which involves the lowest-placed driver being eliminated in stages under a time limit; a pure survival of the fittest. 8-Ball places up to eight players on a compact track, which features two crossover points, bringing the risk of being blind-sided, wherever you are in the pecking order. The rather mundane racing around the track is elevated by a

Xbox 720 Details L e a ke d O n l i n e

Microsoft’s next home console will be called the Xbox 720 and will arrive in 2013, an alleged leaked specs sheet suggests. The two-year-old document, which appeared on Scribd before being taken down, claims that the console will feature Kinect 2.0, 3D technology and the long-rumoured Xbox TV. Xbox TV will supposedly be available on mobile devices and PCs and launch this Christmas, before coming built-in with Microsoft’s next generation console the following year. By 2015, Microsoft will provide “Xbox experiences served up from the cloud” direct to any screen, according to the

sense of constant fear at each crossover. But DiRT Showdown really comes alive when it ditches the racing and instead goes all out for destruction. The Rampage mode is essentially a first-person shooter-style Deathmatch, but with cars. It’s a demolition derby played out in a battle arena, in which you score points by smashing the hell out of others. Crashes in DiRT Showdown are based on two things - velocity and point of impact. To get maximum points, you have to time your run and hit the nitrous boost at the right moment to T-bone the rival car in a symphony of crushed panel work. Health is displayed above all competitors, and so it’s important to look for the cars with low life remaining and take them out, bringing an even bigger points bonus. Alongside Rampage, there is the Hard Target mode, in which you are marked as the target and all the opposing cars have to hunt you down. The longer you last, the higher you rank on the final standings. Knock Out takes inspiration from Japanese sumo and involves cars trying to knock each other off a raised platform. This changes the tactics in that you have to carefully time your attacks so as not to fly straight off the platform. The career mode mixes up these different events over Pro, All Star, Champion and Legend tournament levels. Although we were initially concerned that the career would feel slight and not enough for a full boxed product, actually the modes, tracks, environments and challenges are tweaked just enough over the levels to keep things interesting, while the upgrades and vehicle unlocks come thick and fast.

leak. This will allow users to run media and play games across multiple devices - a similar service to the recently-announced SmartGlass. The Xbox 720 will allegedly support cutting-edge 3D technology through Kinect 3D Glasses, codenamed Fortaleza. This service will be implemented over WiFi in 2014, and via 4G the following year. Kinect 2.0 will reportedly launch with the console, featuring improved tracking, dedicated processing, and with better play space and high definition. The console is supposedly six times more powerful than the Xbox 360, and will include a Blu-ray optical drive and “always online” technology. According to the document, the Xbox 720 and its Kinect 2.0 sensor will be released in 2013, priced at $299 (240 Euros/£190).

Apple 1 Sold In Auction

A fully-functioning Apple 1 computer has been sold for $374,500 (396,000 Euros/£240,929) at a Sotheby’s auction in New York. The company’s first product more than doubled its estimated value to set a new auction record for the rare computer. A memo written by Apple’s late cofounder Steve Jobs, dating back to his time at Atari, generated $27,500 when it went under the hammer at the same event, exceeding its estimated value of $15,000 (11,800 Euros/£9,500). The Apple 1 was hand-built by Jobs’s fellow co-founder Steve Wozniak and sold for $666.66

(527 Euros/£426) as a fully assembled circuit board. Only around 200 of the devices were ever created, 50 of which are thought to still be in circulation. The machine that was sold during the Sotheby’s auction, won by a persistent telephone bidder, came with its original instruction manuals. Jobs’s memo was written in 1974 when the tech mastermind was 19 years old. It is a four-page document containing suggestions about how to improve Atari’s World Cup football game. Apple’s founding papers, signed by both Jobs and Wozniak, were sold by Sotheby’s for almost $1,594,500 (£1.03m) in December last year.

The chance to get gold medals and first places on all the tracks gives reason to replay the career mode, but DiRT Showdown does not quite have the same level of addictiveness as Trials Evolution. It’s hard to pin down, but it is possible that DiRT Showdown just lacks the sense of intricacy and style that marked out Red Lynx’s dirt bike game as something really special. But that’s a minor complaint. DiRT 3’s support for YouTube replays returns for DiRT Showdown, joined by the opportunity to send challenges out to your online friends. But what is more likely to keep people coming back for more is the multiplayer. Codemasters has taken inspiration from online shooters in the multiplayer modes, introducing a party play lobby that gets people quickly and easily into challenges such as Capture The Flag-inspired Transporter. While the upgrade system feels a little superficial, the online game in DiRT Showdown excels by always keeping players of pretty much all skill levels right in the thick of the action. The chance to crash and smash into rival drivers will delight the target, more casual audience, but it may also offer the hardcore rally fans something a bit different to try out. DiRT Showdown is not just a spinoff of DiRT 3, and that is not because DiRT 4 is in development deep within Codemasters. The game is a deliberate shift in the DiRT series to a new direction, without upsetting core rally fans by changing or dropping the trademark precision racing. It could be said that DiRT Showdown is to DiRT what the Zombies mode is to Treyarch’s Call of Duty; fun, violent and never takes itself too seriously.

SPOTLIGHT on......

Marc Craig

Marc Craig, 41, is the resident singer at Vivo Decades Treasure Island, in Las Américas, and has been there for the past 3 years. He is the founder member of the award winning group The Wildboyz and recently married his long term girlfriend Becky in Thailand. WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

I’m originally from Leicester but considered myself an adopted Geordi, till I moved to Tenerife; having lived there since I was 19.

WHEN AND WHY DID YOU MOVE TO TENERIFE?

I moved here in May 1999, after I had been on holiday. I got up to sing in a bar with an act I’d known from the clubs in the UK. Next thing I knew I was in the owner’s office being asked if I could put together a duo. I went home, handed in my notice with my band, formed the Wildboyz and came back!

DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE FAMOUS?

Haha, INFAMOUS definitely!!! No, I don’t think I’m famous but having sang pretty much 6 nights a week every year since I was 16-17,I would love to know how many people had watched me perform-and then ask them all to lend me a euro!!!

ALTHOUGH YOU ARE IN THE LIMELIGHT, DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE SHY?

I wouldn’t say I’m shy, but I’m don’t need to be the centre of attention offstage. I enjoy being in the limelight onstage, but off; I’m happy to be part of the crowd

IF YOU HAD A DIFFERENT JOB, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I’ve always liked the idea of working with animals. For a while, as a kid, I wanted to be a marine biologist!

Crisps in Leicester. Ever tried freshly fried walkers crisps straight off the conveyer belt still warm? mmmmmmmmm!

That’s a tough one. I was a huge Prince fan growing up, but I can’t say I idolise anyone really, talent wise. I admire singer/songwriters like Stevie Wonder, George Michael and Gary Barlow.

Yes. As an entertainer you get asked to perform at charity events a lot and I’m always happy to. I would love to give some time to helping out at animal charities too.

WHO IS YOUR IDOL? WHY?

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST DISASTER YOU HAVE EVER HAD ON STAGE?

Oh my god, so many! I’ve been singing 28 years! I’ve fallen off the edge of a few stages during the dance routine days. I almost set fire to a portrait of the queen and several pensioners in a very patriotic working men’s club during a fire breathing mishap, and during my Wildboyz days, been more than a little drunk during the show, but thankfully I don’t remember much!! WHAT IS YOUR TIPPLE?

DO YOU DO CHARITY WORK?

WHY DID YOU BECOME AN ENTERTAINER?

I guess it’s always been in my blood, but I did have to take my little sister to ballet classes when I was 12 and Miss Ann, the dance school owner basically forced me to join the drama class (she was scary!) I guess it all started there. WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

I love reading, watching movies, walking, going to the beach or pool. I’m also addicted to my iPhone! WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD?

HOW MANY LANGUAGES DO YOU SPEAK?

I love to cook, so it’s really hard to pick one food I like making, but if I’m not making it, you can’t beat a good Italian style thin crust pizza from a wood oven!

HOW MANY HOUSES DO YOU HAVE?

I’m actually not from your planet. I’m a Jedi knight from the planet Tatooine!

Haha, as a Wildboy, pretty much anything I could get hold of!!! These days I like a Bacardi and coke-that’s my holiday drink too. English, I think and I can get by with Spanish, mas o menos!! None right now. If anyone’s got a spare, contact me!

HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU EARN IN A MONTH?

Not enough!!

HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD YOU LIKE TO EARN IN A MONTH?

Too much!!!

WHAT DO YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY ON?

It used to be clothes, music, videogames, going out, but this year we’ve had to pay for a wedding in Thailand and a blessing here in September so I’ve had to be sensible! WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?

I’ve always been a singer or dancer, I did work for a few weeks for a temp agency at Walker’s

TELL US A SECRET ABOUT YOU!

DO YOU WEAR BOXERS OR BRIEFS?

Boxers all the way!

IF YOU WERE A BISCUIT, WHICH WOULD YOU BE?

Fig roll.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO EAT?

WERE YOU BULLIED AS A KID?

Yes, a little, because before I started performing I was painfully shy. Some kid decided to call me Marcus Rose cos I blushed so easily!! Then I joined the drama school, got my confidence and started giving as good as I got!!

IF YOU WERE GIVEN A CHANCE, WOULD YOU ENTER BIG BROTHER?

For a night out, El Rodeo, but the olive garden in Los Cris is fantastic for everything from breakfast to snacks to curries etc. I go there a lot!

NO WAY!! Reality shows like that are killing quality TV! They’re cheap and popular so less quality drama, comedy, sci-fi, etc is being produced. I might give Xfactor or The Voice ago, though. At least they’re about talent.

Haha. Just one? Well Rihanna’s been in a movie now. I’ve still got a thing for Jessica Alba, though. Have to say I’m very happily married, so sorry Ri Ri!

Easy, women! I don’t mean “easy women”; I meant......I’m in trouble now! You can “like” my page at “www.facebook. com/thewildboyz” for regular updates on me and the Wildboyz!! X

NAME ONE ACTOR/ACTRESS YOU WOULD LOVE TO GET NAUGHTY WITH?

WOMEN OR CARS?

Your Hair & Beauty Advice Column

by Jade & staff at The Perfect Gift Salon

Wo r k

I know I often rattle on about the new trends that are must haves, but we all like to know what’s new in the world of fashion! I particularly like new ideas because it’s always fun and exciting to look that little bit different than the rest, and to experiment with new ideas, so why not also be the first to try out our top looks, and stand out in the crowd this spring/summer? News print nail art

How great are these? I love them; they are really stylish, unusual and affective. If applied correctly the design should last up to a week - longer on the toes. These fun nails can be applied with any colour background of your choice, and decorated with a choice of many designs. A sure must have trend for this summer! Work the trend

it!

a million dollars once we leave the salon! Twinkle Toes

We Brits can work the bright red lipstick better than anyone else. The British are, in our own way, eccentric and are not afraid to try new looks. In America it’s all glossy, in Paris it’s all dark lips and smoky eyes, but in London and the rest of the U.K it’s kind of thrown together, we don’t have a uniform look, so find which ever shade of red works best for you, accessorise it with a matching bag or shoes, and work it! Beach hair

In contrast to the autumn/winter styles, spring/summer hair is all about underplayed glamour: stripping back to natural beauty with soft textures and loose styles. Utilising and encouraging subtle, yet natural looking, movement in the hair is key for that desirable ´wash and go´ finish. Think LA air-dried surf hair, which is perfect for the climate that we live in. This hot summer look is going to save all of us women hours on getting ready. Especially if you have a natural curl in your hair, don’t try and fight it, work with it. Even have your hair stylist achieve this sexy hot look for you, as we all feel

The question I hear the most is “What are Twinkle Toes?” They are Fantabulous and you will Looooove them!!!!! Twinkle Toes is a process in which a protein bond of glitter is applied to your natural toe nail, and bonded with a UV lamp. This process does not harm the natural nail and lasts for up to 6, 8 even 10 weeks easy!!! Your toes look great while not only do they twinkle in the sun but you also have the benefit of no chipping, flaking or rubbing off like polish!! Unique piercings Body piercings will always be in fashion, and with our fabulous imaginations there are so many unique piercings to be had. The reasons for piercing or not piercing are varied. Some people have piercings for religious or spiritual reasons, while others pierce for selfexpression, and then there are some who simply have them because they are fun and sometimes completely exclusive. The biggest trend this summer is unique piercings, so if you are

considering having one done, then be original with your own idea.

Always talk with your piercer first to make sure the area that you choose is suitable and safe, and if you have any doubts at all about your piercer, shop about until you find one that you are happy with. For hair and beauty advice email us; the.perfect.gift@hotmail.com

Blatter - Technology A Necessity

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has, in the wake of the controversy involved in England’s victory over Ukraine, announced goal line technology is now a ‘necessity’. The head of world football’s governing body has in the past been resistant to the idea of introducing any such computerised systems to the game. But after an effort from Ukraine’s Marko Devic clearly crossed the goal line against England on Tuesday night but was not spotted by officials, Blatter accepts there is no debate. Even an additional referee on the by-line Rank Team

failed to spot Devic’s shot should have been ruled as a goal, which left Ukraine manager Oleg Blokhin irate. And Blatter has now said on his official Twitter account: “After last night’s match #GLT (goal line technology) is no longer an alternative but a necessity.” The demand from England for goal line technology reached fever pitch in the summer of 2010 when Frank Lampard was not awarded with a goal against Germany at the World Cup. England trailed 2-1 in their second-round match when the Chelsea midfielder’s 20-yard shot beat goalkeeper

The ‘goal’ was not given, and Germany went on to claim a comprehensive 4-1 victory to knock England out of the tournament.

currently on trial at Euro 2012. Two linesmen and two additional assistants, who stay close to each goal to help decide if the ball crosses the line and to spot possible fouls, are in theory assisting referees. But the failure of the assistant to spot Devic’s ‘goal’ has added further weight to the argument for essential technology. FIFA will decide on 5th July whether to approve the five-official system and two goal line technology systems currently being tested in England and Denmark. The Hawk-Eye system, which is used in tennis, was trialled at England’s friendly against Belgium at Wembley before Euro 2012.

This week in the “Wild Bull Darts League” quite a few of the games were won or lost with the closest of margins: a 3-5 scorline. In the 1st Division Belgian Beer Bar were very happy with their 2nd victory of the season. “This brings us back in the running to stay in 1st division next season,” claimed Raf. It’s always good fun to play against Apolo, with the mixture of different nationalities in the team (Spanish, English, Belgian and Italian) .The Belgians also enjoyed a pre-arranged game with Chipeque on the Friday. In a pre-football carnival Chipeque took the points with some great darts from Paul (Chipeque) 100 finish and Adam (Chipeque) 107 finish. Everyone agreed the match was a close encounter which could have gone either way and with the yega in full flow it was a night to remember! Luc threw another maximum, as Rood took the points from the Target A in another very tight game. In Chipeque’s other game against “Our Place B” the word is Phil Taylor’s mentoring paid dividends as the “young guns” took the points in another close encounter, and with chilli con carne on the menu it was almost as hot as the darts!!

Happy Gavines at Cosy Corner Mel El Candel de Abuela says: “the match was a lot closer than the score shows. George (El Candel) checked out with the bull to win his game whilst Richard (Chipeque Nomads) checked out with 104 to save his doubles game. Captain, Chelsea Rob, from Nomads agreed it was close and great day was had by all. Richard kept telling everyone he spoke to for days after , “Credit to El Candil de la Abuela. What good people & great hospitality.” Andy La Central said: “Beesnees Hunnies are a great team to play. A laugh with every dart is the best way to put it”. Happy Gavines agreed with their 7-1 loss because after the singles Gavines was too much in a “Party” mood. The booze brought El Capitano dancing on top of the bar (see pictures on Facebook). Looking at the pictures I believe they had a proper after party!!! Yet again “Wild Bull darts League” delivers to the South of Tenerife ...great darts... great fun and what a good social network.

Tenerife Weekly - 22nd June - 28th June 2012 SPORT

Hi Everyone. As I sit down to write this week’s offering it is Tuesday afternoon and I suppose, just like a lot of others, I eagerly await the England game. One thing that did make me smile over the weekend was, whilst doing my show on Atlantis FM Radio on Sunday with not a great deal of sport going on, I kept my eye on the BBC website for the final of the men’s tennis final at Queens; giving out as much info as I could on the score. Whilst playing some great music (as normal) I took a look at the BBC page to see that David Nalbandian had been disqualified. What I thought was, “how do you get disqualified in Tennis?” I thought perhaps he had punched the umpire or something. A few minutes later the BBC gave the reasons for his crime and later I could watch what went off on the internet. The Argentine, 30, was leading Marin Cilic 7-6 (7-3) 3-4 when he smashed a panel in front of Andrew McDougall’s seat, causing his leg to bleed heavily. Chair umpire Fergus Murphy awarded Cilic the match, while ATP supervisor Tom Barnes confirmed the decision. We all remember John McEnroe getting out of his pram, but Nalbandian did go O.T.T. with his actions, and let’s face it, if you had done that on the street you could be arrested for GBH. We all know that these Sports men and women are highly charged, but rules are rules. So he got what he deserved and its Wimbledon next. Anyway, let’s take a look at the Euros. I am still watching as much as I can at home on Telefónica’s crap internet (which, by the way, is driving her in doors Mad). Thing are starting to get exciting now as it comes to this stage of the tournament. I went to watch the England game against Sweden at

the Buzzin, (Sorry Red Lion but the Buzzin don’t serve food at night time) although you do get a free sandwich or 2 at half time. So I got my nice cold pint and sat down to watch the match with Buzzin soccer pundits, and apparently with Wayne Rooney, who has been smashing balls around England’s dressing room walls in readiness for his belated entrance to Euro 2012 against co-hosts Ukraine in Donetsk. And for a chaotic spell in Kiev it looked like manager Roy Hodgson might be left banging his head on the same place, as England did not so much flirt with danger against Sweden, but grasp it in a full-blown embrace. Hodgson and England have been accused by outside forces of failing to enter into the spirit of this football festival on the flimsy evidence of one pragmatic draw in their opening game against France. Both answered those charges, but face others as they prepare for a decisive final game against the co-hosts on Tuesday. The 3-2 win, their first in competitive action against Sweden, means avoidance of defeat in Donetsk will send England into the quarter-finals. As he reflects on the victory, Hodgson will have found causes for concern and optimism. It was the first serious test faced by Hodgson since his appointment in early May, but the manager’s sound decision-making before and during the game meant he emerged unblemished and with a crucial victory. Hodgson will be judged on the impact and results of his big calls and he could not have done much better; both in acting on a tactical theory and reacting when it threatened to go wrong. He recalled Liverpool’s £35m striker Andy Carroll with a very specific purpose, one served to perfection as he exploited Sweden’s aerial vulnerability to head home Steven Gerrard’s perfect cross. Hodgson then reacted to his team leaving their concentration in the dressing room at half-time to concede two embarrassingly poor goals to Olof Mellberg (though the first was later ruled to have been a Glen Johnson own goal) by swiftly introducing Theo Walcott. He and all of us watching could see the game drifting from England’s control and backed Walcott, who was ready to come on at 1-1 to switch the momentum. This he did with a Open 7 days a week Serving breakfast, lunch, tapas, menu of the day, dinner and Sunday roast. Watch all the major sporting events on our terrace or in our air conditioned bar.

swerving equaliser, then a cross that allowed Manchester United’s Danny Welbeck to score a goal of athleticism, dexterity and pure instinct 12 minutes from time. England headed back to their Krakow base in the small hours to debrief ahead of their return to the Donbass Arena, where they will face a night of fierce hostility against a Ukraine side knowing victory can put them through. You could hear players shouting to each other during England’s game with France - you will not be able to hear yourself think next time around. There were also moments of alarm when John Terry appeared to be treading in mud in a footrace with Ibrahimovic, a moment that will have been noted by sprightly attackers. England were also caught short on the counter too often by Sweden; offences which will drive at the very heart of Hodgson’s philosophy. The final reckoning is that England need to come out with a draw against Ukraine, which is perfectly workable if former disciplines are restored. They are also able to try and achieve this with their best player back. Hodgson can think through his attacking strategy carefully with so many players stating their cases after Kiev. And most heartening of all for the England camp was that two key decisions, starting with Carroll and introducing Walcott, were a reflection of Hodgson’s current clear-headedness in the heat of tournament competition. England may have been late arriving at the Euro 2012 festivities, but they crashed through the door with some style as this tournament continues to sparkle. The theory of England under Roy Hodgson not playing exciting football has just been blown out of the water. We are going to need heart from the players because we are not good enough at keeping the football. We did and can all see that and everyone was screaming for the players to keep the ball, keep calm and pass it around and it happened for Danny Welbeck’s goal. The only time in the game we passed it with the some composure we scored the winning goal. So, home to a Pizza with a happy face. And now with all the games kicking off at the same time; as we have seen things can change quiet dramatically, with Giorgos Karagounis scoring the only goal as Greece produced a major shock to knock Russia out of Euro 2012

and seal their place in the quarter-finals and Petr Jiracek scoring the only goal of a scrappy game in Wroclaw to break Polish hearts and send Czech Republic into the quarter-finals as winners of Group A on Saturday. Sunday saw a scintillating Cristiano Ronaldo double put Portugal into the European Championship quarter-finals and sent the Netherlands out. The Dutch needed to win by two clear goals to stand a chance of progressing, and Rafael van der Vaart’s lovely curling strike put them ahead. But the Netherlands faded badly and Ronaldo equalised by slotting in from Joao Pereira’s precise pass. Ronaldo drove in the winner and Portugal will next play Czech Republic. The Dutch, meanwhile, will be left to reflect on a tournament in which they have lost all three of their matches, just two years after finishing as World Cup runners-up. Also with Lars Bender scoring the winner 10 minutes from time, Germany took their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 as convincing winners of Group B. Monday saw Italy earn the victory they needed against an already eliminated Republic of Ireland to go through to the last eight of Euro 2012. Ireland started with purpose but went behind when Antonio Cassano headed in a near post Andrea Pirlo corner. An equaliser would have knocked Italy out and their keeper Gianluigi Buffon smartly saved a Keith Andrews strike. Andrews was sent off for a second booking before Mario Balotelli volleyed in to settle Italian nerves. With Jesus Navas scoring a dramatic late winner as Spain produced a nervy and unconvincing performance to qualify for the quarter-finals of Euro 2012. The Seville winger walked in Andres Iniesta’s clever pass two minutes from time to break Croatia hearts and ensure the champions top Group C. Elsewhere in the world of sport, American Webb Simpson clinched his maiden major title with victory on an absorbing final day of the US Open. The 26-year-old beat Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell and fellow American Michael Thompson by one shot at a foggy Olympic Club in San Francisco. Simpson shot 68 to set the target at one over and watched as 2010 champion McDowell missed a 25ft putt to force a play-off on the 18th. Simpson, who climbs to fifth in the world, becomes the 15th different major winner in a row, the ninth straight first-time winner and the third consecutive American to win one of golf’s grand slam events. Just before I sign off, I have just watched one of the greatest racehorses win the first race at Royal Ascot. Frankel, at 10 to 1 on, put 10 pound on to win 1. Bit out of my league. So till next time, come on England!

H o w To I n s t a l l Outdoor Lighting

(fig.1) The correct wiring for a fourterminal junction box.

Turn your garden into an atmospheric extra living room and protect your home at the same time with exterior lights and security lighting. Our guide shows you how. None of these steps are particularly difficult, but you will need some electrical

skills. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when you fit electrical equipment. If you’re unsure, ask a qualified electrician for help. 1: Switching off the power supply When installing your outdoor lights, switch off your power supply at the fuse box

(consumer unit) before doing any electrical work. You can do this in two ways. First, you can switch off the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) for the circuit you’ll be working on and put red insulating tape over the MCB so it’s not switched on accidentally. Or you can turn off the main switch, remove the circuit fuse, and then turn on the main switch again to restore power to the rest of the house.

(fig. 2) Connecting an outdoor light using an indoor lighting circuit spur

When you’re extending an existing lighting circuit, use the upstairs circuit and access cables via your loft if you have one. If you use the downstairs circuit you’ll have to lift carpets and floortiles to get access. 2: Fitting an outdoor light on your house wall It may be obvious, but make sure the light you choose is OK for outdoor use - even if you’re putting it in a sheltered spot. Drilling through your outside wall Use a heavy-duty drill and masonry bit to drill through your outside wall in the spot where the exterior light is going. When drilling your hole from the outside, direct the drill slightly upwards to prevent water entering your home. Feed the electrical cable through the wall from the inside. Use rubber-sheathed 1mm2 3-core flexible cable to connect the light to the junction box. On the inside, route the cable towards your chosen connection point. Now make sure you isolate the electrical circuit you’re going to be working on. You can connect your outdoor light via a fused spur from a ring main circuit or an indoor lighting circuit. Connecting to an indoor lighting circuit Once you’ve switched off the lighting circuit, cut the circuit cable. Strip the end of the cable ready to connect it to a fourterminal junction box (figs. 1 and 2). Run a new length of 1mm2 twin and earth

(fig. 3) Connecting an outdoor light using a ring main spur cable from the position of the junction box to the new switch position (fig. 2). Connect the four cables to the junction box - circuit cables, switch cable and spur cable (fig. 1). Connecting to a ring main spur Ideally use an upstairs ring main circuit so you can gain access via the loft rather than having to lift carpets or floorboards. Fit a fused connection unit (FCU) close to a socket on the ring main you’ve selected (fig. 3). Fit your junction box in the ceiling void. Connect the spur and switch cables to it. Run a new length of 1mm2 twin and earth cable from the junction box to the FCU. Connect the cable to the FCU and the junction box. Connect the FCU to the socket outlet terminals with a 2.5mm2 cable. Fit a 5 amp fuse in the FCU. Mounting the light fitting Hold your exterior light over the protruding cable on your outside wall and mark the screw positions. Drill the holes, insert rawl plugs and fit the light on the wall. Feed the cable through the light’s baseplate and connect it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reconnect the power supply and test your new outdoor light.
