HOME BUYS UP

BY ALEX TRELINSKI

panish home sales have increased the most since April 2008 as the nation’s economy continues to recover from the financial crisis, with the Torrevieja area one of the most popular in Spain fuelled by international buyers. Transactions increased 29 percent in April

compared to a year earlier according to figures from the National Statistics Institute. A separate report showed that home values increased by six point three percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the largest gain since the third quarter of 2007. “What we are seeing is the combination of banks lend-

ing again marrying with pentup demand from buyers who are now more comfortable that the economy is really recovering and are confident prices have bottomed,” said Jose Luis Ruiz Bartolome, co-author of The Return of Bricks and Mortar, a 2015 book about the decline and recovery of Spain’s real estate and mortgage markets. Torrevieja continues to be in the vanguard of home sales, with the latest development ministry report for the first three months of 2016 suggesting that the fourteenhundred sales between January and March, were only beaten by the much larger cities of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and

Sevilla. Experts say that the upward trend is set to continue with not too surprisingly a major interest being shown by non-Spaniards including British and Scandinavian buyers. On the Orihuela Costa, the local council has authorised the building of 270 units in a revival of a project that was first proposed 13 years ago on the Las Filipinas urbanisation, which will see the construction of 245 homes. Orihuela council has also green-lighted the building of 24 houses at El Barranco, Los Dolses, with the authority claiming that their announcement is indicative of the upturn of the housing construction industry in the area.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY

orrevieja mayor, José Manuel Dolón is to complain to the European Union over the Madrid central government not spending anything on converting the N-332 highway around Torrevieja into a dual-carriageway, despite the fact that the project has had a budget for the last eight years. Dolón says that it has become an annual farce and charade where the central government declares that there is money for the upgrade but nothing happens. The mayor wants Brussels bosses to investigate what is going on with the funding for

the eight kilometres of work which he says should have started already, and at the very best will not be completed until 2020. The mayor says that the money has been around

since 2007, and he produced a recent letter from the country’s acting development minister, Ana Pastor, which proves that the 16 million euro project has been budgeted for. The Green Party mayor

also took a swipe at the acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for visiting Torrevieja at the start of the general election campaign last Friday and having nothing to say on the stalled N-332 works.

ship. He is viewed as the main obstacle for other parties to go into some kind of deal or even a more formal coalition involving the PP. Among those polled, 57 percent of PP voters said they would accept Rajoy resigning his position if this meant securing a PP government, while 74 percent of overall voters thought Rajoy should go if this would pave the way for a new government. Spain's general election is a week on Sunday after

an inconclusive December election stripped Rajoy's party of a workable majority. Opinions polls show the vote will almost certainly produce another political stalemate, with the socialist PSOE trailing in third place behind the joint left-wing group formed by Podemos (We can) and Izquierda Unidos (IU or United Left). If a ruling majority cannot be formed after the June vote, Spaniards could potentially be forced to return to the ballot box for the third time in a year.

Fatal Refusal

Head of Layout Advertising Sales

A majority of Partido Popular voters are in favour of leader and acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stepping aside if this allowed the party to stay in government, according to an opinion poll Rajoy (pictured on a visit to Santa Pola last Friday at the start of the general election campaign) is blamed for harsh austerity measures implemented in recent years that crippled the economy as well as political corruption cases at the PP during his leader-

Elche's two Ciudadanos councillors, David Caballero and Juan Antonio Sempere, have called for improved health and emergency services during the summer holiday seasons for coastal areas like La Marina village and Arenales de Sol. The councillors claim that the health cover when the area is packed with tourists is nowhere near as good as for adjoining municipalities like Alicante and Santa Pola, and that health centres are

operating on minimal staffing. Their other concern is that Elche will be down once again to just one ambulance as the other vehicle has its annual summer move to Santa Pola. Caballero and Sempere said they had met with the Ciudadanos representative on the Valencian health committee, Juan Córdoba, to put over the view that something ought to be done to address the annual summer problem.

Hot air wafting in from North Africa and the Saharan desert brought sweltering temperatures that easily averaged 35 degrees on Monday on what turned out to be hottest day of the year so far for most the Costa Blanca and Mar Menor. Parts of Elche hit 40 degrees whilst the mercury

level climbed to 37 in Alicante, Orihuela and Torrevieja (a June record for the municipality). Night time values didn’t drop below 20 degrees with mid-June weather that is more typical of mid-July. Forecasters predict a cooler and more comfortable weekend that may also bring some storms as the hot air cools.

Storm Warning

A 27-year-old Torre Pacheco restaurant worker was arrested last Friday after he killed his neighbour for refusing to have sex with him. The man, named as Daniel J, was detained by the Guardia Civil after he had gone on an afternoon drinking and drug taking spree before rolling up at his 36-year-old neighbour's house in the Hoyamorena area of the municipality The victim, named as

teacher Cristina Iglesias, received a visit from Daniel J at around 6.00pm and refused his sexual advances. He went next door to his own house on Calle Esmeralda, where he lived with his wife, four-year-old daughter, and his motherin-law. He picked up a knife, and then returned to Cristina's home and slashed her neck as he forced his way in, with neighbours calling the

emergency services who could nothing to save her life. The Guardia had a relatively simple task of finding the suspect as they followed his blooded footprints next door as well as discovering that in the intervening period, he had calmly gone to a local health centre for treatment on the defensive wounds that he suffered during the violent assault. Cristina’s mother, María Betanzos, went from her daughter’s burial at the local cemetary on Monday to a rally in Murcia’s Plaza Belluga in support of Cristina featuring local politicians and women’s rights activists. “My daughter was killed like she was an animal in a slaughterhouse”, said Maria. “ She died because resisted a rapist. Current Spanish law protects the assailants and not the victims”.

Emergency Date A tender to finish the uncompleted Emergency Centre at La Zenia is set to be advertised in September, with the aim for work to be finished by the end of next year. The announcement came from the head of the Valencian emergency and safety agency, José María Ángel, who visited the abandoned site at La Zenia last week. Ángel met with Orihuela mayor, Emilio Bascuñana to talk about completing the project which was halted six years ago when the construction firm went bust. Earlier this year (and as previously reported in The Courier), Orihuela opposi-

tion socialist PSOE councillors said that work at La Zenia was going to resume after the readvertising of the tender which would be on a lower budget than the original two million euro project. José María Ángel said that further meetings would

take place soon with Orihuela officials and that he wanted the Emergency Centre to "be a reality as soon as possible" and that the Valencian government had allocated one point two million euros for the work to be done.

Tender Confirmed Torrevieja council has officially announced that the beach lifeguard service will be provided by a consortium led by the Eulen company as opposed going to the Cruz Roja who provided local cover for decades, as report-

ed in The Courier last week. Beaches councillor Javier Manzanares said the council greatly appreciated everything that the Cruz Roja had done, but they did not meet the requirements to win the tender.

Fighting Fire Pilar de la Horadada mayor lgnacio Ramos has called for a fire engine to be based in the municipality during the hot summer months this year. Ramos said that fire engines operating out of Torrevieja and getting stuck in traffic jams on the N-332 left the area with poor cover during the high season, which also saw it more vulnerable to forest fires with the dry weather. The mayor added that he and the council feared what might happen if a huge blaze broke out in the area with the current level of cover that is provided. Further north, Santa Pola has made a request for a fire tender to be based in the area, which was the case until two years ago when provincial priorities saw it removed. The council say they asked in April whether the return of localised fire cover was possible but have not had a reply.

Fruitful Arrests Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he believed it was possible to achieve a positive outcome on EU visa liberalization, which would take into account Turkey's stance on fighting terrorism.

The latest fruit rustling gang to be put out of business by the Guardia Civil has seen ten Romanians arrested for stealing lemons across the Murcia region and the Vega Baja town of Cox, where four of the arrests were made. The Guardia operation has so far detected at least 30 crimes by the lemon stealers with four tonnes of the fruit being taken.

The Guardia in Murcia who led the operation against the fruit crooks estimate that they may have plundered over 100 thousand kilos of fruit, with the nine men and one woman living down south on the Almeria coast at Roquetas de Mar, Improvised convoys would ship their loot down to Roquetas from the Murcia region and Alicante Province.

Come Fly With Us Four point two million passengers used AlicanteElche airport in the first five months of 2016, meaning a big 16 percent rise in numbers compared to the same period in 2015. May’s returns showed nearly one point two million people using the facilities at El Altet, a rise of twelve percent on May 2015, with over a half a million of the pas-

sengers coming from the United Kingdom, followed by 110 thousand domestic travellers, with German and Dutch visitors coming in at 71 thousand. Nationally, 81.6 million people have used Spain’s airports this year until the end of May, showing a rise of over 11 percent on last year’s already record-breaking figures.

Mayor Quiz

A Torrevieja judge has ordered the Los Montesinos mayor, José Manuel Butrón, and his local police chief to appear in court this coming

Monday to answer questions over allegations of privacy laws being broken as well as asking them to shed light on why some key council documents have gone missing. The judge's summons is the latest in a longrunning series of investigations and hearings by Torrevieja's courts over alleged irregularities by Butrón over urban planning issues. The PSOE mayor, who has been in charge of the council since it was formed in 1991, denies all of the allegations.

The United States told allies it was re examining plans to cut its troop numbers in Afghanistan next year, Britain said, as other NATO forces committed to stay on to help fight a resurgent Taliban. Iran has filed a formal complaint with the International Court of Justice to recover nearly $2 billion in assets frozen in the United States, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said. A UN board of inquiry was unable to determine whether UN peacekeepers in the Central African Republic were responsible for the deaths of a teenager and his father last year, the UN spokesman said. Unionized teachers protesting against teacher testing blockaded streets, a shopping mall and even train tracks in the western state of Michoacan. The main locations of wreckage from the EgyptAir jet that crashed in the eastern Mediterranean last month have been identified by a deep ocean search vessel, the Egyptian-led investigation committee said. An official in the former government of President Cristina Fernandez who was arrested as he allegedly tried to hide $9 million in cash at an Argentine monastery has been transferred to a local hospital.

Guilty Stabber

An Elche jury has convicted a 41-year-old man of stabbing his partner´s brother after a street brawl in the Calvario area of Torrevieja in January 2015. The defendant, with the initials N.K, faces a jail term of between 12 and 15 years which will be determined by the judge in addition to a compensation payout which could be up to 76 thousand euros to the victim’s family.

Sex Fiend Unmasked

A paedophile who gained access to schools, including a number in Alicante Province, by pretending to be a student teacher has been arrested in Valencia. Juan Rivera Pascual pretended to be an expert in education and went round primary schools all over Spain, videoing the centres and the pupils, and successfully posed as a knowledgeable online advisor helping parents choose schools. He went around public and private centres, including British or bilingual schools. In many cases, teaching staff have assured parents he did not go anywhere near the children, but oth-

ers where he is known to have abused small children are being investigated. The paedophile's apparently harmless footage was uploaded onto his website, known as El Blog de Juanri, in which he claimed to be a 25-yearold student teacher, listing all the schools he had been visiting since 2014. But hard porn videos which Rivera had made himself, showing him abusing young children have been found in his home. Most of the youngsters had been abused on numerous occasions, and literally thousands of pic-

tures and videos were uncovered when Rivera was arrested. Police say the footage showing him assaulting children was 'especially hardcore' and that the victims came from schools all over the country. Whenever 'Juanri' was questioned by parents as to what he was doing filming in the schools, he told them he was a teacher there. Starting with primary schools in the Comunidad Valenciana, he then moved onto Catalunya, Madrid, and eventually the rest of Spain – and even Colombia. Videos he made were shared with paedophiles throughout Spain.

Better Orihuela

A new website that brings together all the tourist attractions of the Orihuela municipality has been launched by the authority’s tourism and coastal councillor, Sofía Álvarez. The site, 'www.orihuelaturistica.es'. has cost under four thousand euros to construct and has content in English as well as in

Spanish and the regional Valenciano language, with plans to add material in French and German in the near future. Álvarez claims that the website is following the success of similar sites created for councils around Spain, and has an appealing look about that will be good for attracting tourists.

Car Thief Caught

Clear Horns Valencia City has banned a long standing tradition in which bulls are set loose on the streets with flaming balls of wax or fireworks fixed to their horns. The city

council also cut funding for bull runs and bullfighting schools but did not ban bullfighting altogether. The ban was announced just days after politicians in

the central Castile and Leon region prohibited spearing bulls to death at one of Spain's goriest spectacles held for centuries in the town of Tordesillas. Opposition Partido Popular councillors in Valencia called the ban on flaming bulls a violation of the city's cultural heritage.

Little Lynx Four Iberian Lynx have given birth to 14 cubs in mountains in the Toledo area in a major boost for the endangered and protected species. All four mothers are being monitored and have produced two litters of four cubs and two litters of three, according to conservation technicians. Another two litters have been reported in the province of Ciudad Real, in the eastern Morena mountains. The mothers were bred in captivity and gradually taught how to survive in the wild before being released, in a bid to revive the flagging population of this leopard-like mountain cat, which is very close in appearance to the domestic feline. Toledo's mountains were once one of the most heavily-inhabited areas of Iberian Lynx, because they are the ideal setting for the animals to thrive and the local human population is very aware of their value, but they have been gradually dying out – until now. Lynx were released into the wild in the southern region of Andalucía as part of the LIFE+Iberlince project, but now, 27 cubs have been detected outside of this area.

A burglar who broke into cars in the Callosa area was arrested in the town on Sunday afternoon, after he was spotted by the local police inside a vehicle holding a screwdriver after he forced his way in via a side window. The man escaped from the

officers and then he led them on a chase around the streets of Callosa before they caught him and passed him over to the Guardia Civil. It was revealed that he had been arrested in Callosa a few months ago on suspicion of stealing goods from cars.

Back To School Kids

School year dates and the holiday breaks have been officially announced for youngsters who go to Valencia region schools and colleges. The new school year will start on Thursday September 8th, and will run until June 20th 2017 for nursery and primary school children, and June 16th for older

pupils. The Christmas and Three Kings holiday period will run from December 23rd to January January 6th inclusive, and the Easter break will be between April 13th and April 24th inclusive. Five national and regional red-day bank holidays are also included in the schedule.

Gently Does It

200 Audouin gulls were tagged in the Torrevieja salt mine area to allow for the monitoring of the rare species and to check out the bird’s various migratory

routes. 22 people were involved in the operation on Monday, including a couple of British volunteers. The Audouin, which started appearing in Torrevieja 12 years ago, is found in the Mediterranean area and the western coast of Saharan Africa, and tends to breed on small islands. In the late sixties, the Andouin was one of the world's rarest gulls, with a population of only two thousand, but these days, though still rare, the population has gone up to around 20 thousand. This bird is named after the French naturalist Jean Victoire Audouin.

Deathly Slip

A 34-year-old man died while practicing his bull fighting skills after the rampaging beast gored him in the heart during the fiestas at La Parilla in Valladolid in the northwest of Spain. Juan Carlos Otero who was known as 'El Gallo'. was attempting the traditional skill of 'arcing', where con-

testants put their lives on the line by confronting bulls without any capes or swords but simply use lightning body movements such as flips and somersaults to avoid being attacked. He died when he slipped and fell in an enclosure. He was gored several times and suffered injuries

which proved fatal. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition where doctors attempted to operate but they were unable to save his life because the horn had pierced his heart. Otero was well-known in the area for his bull dodging and he had taken part in a number of events, winning several trophies.

Cabby Charges Taxi fares in Tarragona, San Sebastián and Teruel are the most expensive in Spain, whilst they are cheapest in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, anywhere in Tenerife, and in the Spanishowned city-province of Ceuta on the northern Moroccan coast. Alicante City is also rated as one of the most expensive cities to grab a cab in the country. The average three-kilometre trip with a five-minute wait by cab on a weekday in Spain is €6.17, according to the consumer organisation OCU, which says prices have hardly varied at all in

the last year. But the difference between taxi fees in the city of Tarragona and in the provincial capital of Gran Canaria is as high as 89%, rising to 110% on weekends, bank holidays, or in the early hours of the morning. The OCU's research covered 54 cities, which included all Spain's provincial capitals, plus Ceuta and its fellow enclave on the Moroccan coast, Melilla, as well as the cities of Vigo, in Galicia and Gijón in Asturias. The top 12 most expensive cities for cab rides included Barcelona (€7.17),

Lleida (€6.82) and Girona (€6.77) – making Catalunya the priciest region overall for taxi fares – and Alicante, at €6.58. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria cost just €4.63 for the same journey, followed by Santa Cruz de Tenerife (€4.66). Others which cost below average included Almería (€5.54), Sevilla (€5.72) and Granada (€5.74). The OCU says prices have not moved since 2015, partly due to a need to be competitive as customers try to save money, and partly due to falling fuel prices.

The parents-teachers association (AMPA) at Gran Alacant’s Vicenta Ruso school have called for urgent improvements at the complex which consists of mainly prefabricated classrooms. The facility accommodates 900 youngsters resulting in the extra prefab rooms for a school that originally catered for only 450 pupils and AMPA representatives have called for big changes in a meeting with Valencian regional official, Toni Vaquer. That includes, besides

the state of the buildings, improving the surface of the sports track which is bad that youngsters cannot use it, and dealing with the high temperatures that

some the younger children are putting up with in the classrooms and a lack of outside shelter, resulting in a number needing medical attention for dehydration.

Cause For Complaint

In The Dock

Two women who ran a Torrevieja brothel that also sold drugs to clients are facing prosecution calls for a total of 21 years in jail between them. Prosecutors told Alicante Provincial Court judges in Elche that they built up their network of prostitutes by placing small newspaper ads which attracted women in dire need of money. The two female pimps ran the whole operation including taking all of their money and have been charge with offences concerning prostitution and public health crimes.

Power Up

Empty Platform

Spanish domestic electricity bills went up by nought point seven percent in May, the first rise of 2016, which overall has seen tariffs fall by nearly 19 percent over the first five months of the year. Last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increase comes on the back of four consecutive monthly falls, according to the National Statistics Institute.

Price Drop

Spain's consumer prices fell by one percent in May when compared with the same month a year earlier, according to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published on Tuesday by the National Statistics Office (INE).

Levelling Out

The number of abortions performed in Alicante Province last year has stabilised at three thousand six hundred with health department figures suggesting the reason is the reduced number of non-Spanish women living in the area. 31 percent of abortions were performed involving foreign women last year, with the statistics showing that the number of operations non Spaniards had fallen by nine percent over three years, leading to a marginal rise in the abortion rate in 2015.

The high speed AVE railway station at Villena, north of Alicante City is one of the least used AVE stations in Spain, according to official figures. The statistics show that a quarter of all the stations are used by fewer than 100 passengers a day, but the situation is even more dramatic at Villena, which

averages just 20 travellers per day, despite it being seen as a more convenient link for people from the Vega Baja region as opposed to the AVE station in Alicante. That situation is likely to get worse when the AVE station, currently under construction, is opened at Matola, Elche, within the next year.

Refugee Pledge

Spain is going to take in a thousand refugees by the end of summer, according to acting Interior Minister, Jorge Fernandez Diaz. To date, Spain has only taken in 124 refugees under the EU quota out of 17,000 it is obliged to take in by the end of 2017. Another 285 people from a refugee camp in Lebanon will arrive this month. Fernandez Diaz also said that last year, Spain accepted some 20,000 asylum seekers, mostly from Syria, Ukraine and Palestine. A similar number of requests, mainly from Syria, Ukraine and

Chinese Laundry

A Madrid branch of a Chinese bank got cash in rucksacks and boxes from Chinese criminal groups in Spain and wired the money to accounts in China under a 100 million euro money-laundering scheme, according to prosecutors. Details of the allegations against ICBC have been made public for the first time in a court document summarising an investigation into the alleged scam, nearly four months after police raided the state-owned bank's Madrid office and arrested six directors. Prosecutors describe

ICBC, the world's biggest bank by assets, as a "money laundering channel" between two criminal groups. They do not name the groups but say they operated both in Spain and China and were involved in smuggling and tax fraud. Their illegal transfers were limited to 50 thousand euros at a time to reduce the risk of detection and involved a web of shell companies to mask the trail, the prosecution says. In a court document, the bank is also accused by the prosecution of trying to mislead investigators by

providing receipts unrelated to the case and by inadequately identifying clients. According to the document, the bank transferred at least 90 million euros between 2011 and 2014, more than twice the amount announced by European police force Europol at the time of their raid on the ICBC Madrid branch in February. If found guilty of failing to comply with international regulations on money laundering, ICBC could face an unspecified fine. The case could also lead to a review of its Spanish banking licence.

A Marseille Muck Up An absolute disgrace. That's my verdict of the battle of Marseille which unfolded on our TV screens for days. Failings on all sides were to blame for it all, with nobody coming out of it unscathed. Firstly, what on earth possessed the authorities in the city to allow uncontrolled drinking all day every day

leaving many hundreds of English supporters completely wasted? Why is it that the English have such an obsession to drink that they were easy meat for Russian thugs and French locals hell-bent on violence? What was wrong with French intelligence that it did not realise there were organised gangs of Russians

When Will They Learn? 49 people dead (plus the cowardly killer) in yet another US shooting in the early hours of Sunday morning made it the worst gun-related mass murder in American history, with over 50 more injured when Omar Mateen blasted indiscriminately into people at a gay nightclub in Orlando. Only the day before, a deranged idiot shot dead a singer on stage. How

many more people have to die in that crazy, gun-loving country, which allows anyone to have weapon, before the penny drops that this is not the way a "civilised" country should behave. How can it ever be at all sensible for anyone, apart from in the military, to legally possess assault weapons capable of mowing down scores of people in seconds?

on a mission to seek out unsuspecting England supporters in bars and carrying out hit and run assaults on drunken Brits? What the hell was wrong with the French police for not having large numbers of plain-clothed officers in the crowds picking out ringleaders and getting them quickly arrested? The French

cops relied on dispersal tactics, using gas and water cannon to scatter hooligans, only for them to re-group and start over again? And why on earth were there not sufficient police and security personnel in the stadium to properly separate the rival factions, allowing battles to take place on the terraces? The only way

this is going to be stopped is for countries whose thugs cause trouble to be banned from hosting and competing in all future international sport sin-binned for at least a couple of years and to have to pay Draconian fines. Harsh punishment yes, but it would only need to happen once for the message to sink

in that countries cannot let their criminal thug element travel abroad to wreak havoc on a city that just wanted to enjoy (and benefit from) hosting an international event. In their banning threats against Russia and England, Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footballing governing body UEFA might well be right.

If there's something that really gives me the hump it is road humps. You can't get away from them in Spain and it's not much better in Britain - I've found on my return to the UK that they are breeding! But I am delighted to hear the news that scientists have found that although they might reduce motorists' speed and thus are a safety measure, they are seriously increasing pollution, which makes them a particularly bad choice outside schools,

hospitals and care homes. The Alliance of British Drivers (whoever they are!) are calling on councils to get rid of humps from outside schools, slamming them for damaging health and also suggesting that in certain circumstances they actually increase safety risks. The humps road out of Torrevieja on the road to Quesada are particularly annoying - sited on the exit to roundabouts. At Spanish roundabouts you have to

concentrate on - like motorists doing crazy things and not signalling; pedestrians and cyclists attempting suicide stepping out in front of you; and with all this going on you hit a speed hump at an angle! I'm sure it's these wretched humps which has worn down the front tracking on my car and has just cost me a small fortune to replace. Still on my pet subject of motoring I was amused at a story about a Smart car owner who returned to his parked

vehicle to find a Merc had parked in front with bumpers touching. His response was priceless, he left a note on the offending vehicle's windscreen reading: "You are very brave parking your nice Merc so close to my Smart car which I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give a s*** about." Regular readers know I am always banging on about arrogant, couldn't care less about any other driver on the road Merc drivers who think traffic laws don't apply to them.

Getting The Humps

Best Beer A cheap supermarket brand has beaten the field in a survey of the most popular beers carried out by Spain's consumer group, the OCU. Hipercorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white-label Cerveja beat a familiar array of names, with Mahou and Heineken coming third in a survey that looked at 31 beers that graded them on taste and price.

Doggy Delay

Torreviejaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first dog beach will not be open for business before August at the earliest due to a delay in getting the ordance through the council. No actual site for the preferred dog beach has yet been published though a rocky stretch between Cala Piteras and Punta Prima is believed to be in the frame.

On Hold

Orihuela council planners have stopped the building of a house that was being constructed on a protected part of the Sierra Escalona, some two and a half kilometres out of Torremendo village. Environmental groups complained about the construction work with the authority discovering that the work was not covered by a license that was originally issued in 2005.

People Dealers

Human traffickers dealing in refugees fleeing the Middle East have been arrested in central and northern Spain. At least 20 people have been taken in for questioning and are said to have bought passports and national ID, or DNI cards from Dominican Republicans who had acquired Spanish citizenship, flown refugees to Istanbul and then put them in the hands of people who transported them by boat to

Greece. Each of the refugees and migrants paid around two thousand euros each. The traffickers are said to be Spanish nationals originally from the Dominican Republic, and the ID cards and passports sent by post or in person before being given to migrants with similar physical features and ages. Migrants then paid a given sum of money for the flight to Istanbul and paid the

rest to the boat-owners to get to the Greek islands. Once there, they stayed in flats owned by the gang until they were able to be transported to Spain. Investigations have been ongoing since 2014, and members of the racket were also involved in dealing cannabis. Huge hash plantations were found in the Madrid region town of Fuente del Saz del Jarama, fuelled by electricity siphoned off the mains.

Big Jail Call

Prosecutors have called for King Felipe's brother-in-law to be given a 19-and-a-half year jail term for alleged embezzlement in a trial that has also seen his wife Princess Cristina accused of tax evasion. The princess and her husband Inaki Urdangarin are among 17 suspects who went on trial in January as part of a case that involves business dealings by the Noos Institute, a not-for-profit organisation based in Palma which Urdangarin founded and chaired from 2004 to 2006. The case centres on accusations that Urdangarin used his royal connections to win inflated public contracts to stage sporting and other events and then siphoned off some of the proceeds into

Aizoon, a firm he jointly ran with Cristina, to fund a lavish lifestyle. Prosecutor Pedro Horrach called for Urdangarin -- who along with his wife was present at the court in Palma on Mallorca -- to be jailed for 19-and-a-half years and fined 980,000 euros. Prosecutors made the request during closing arguments that began last Friday in the case which has seen 15 people on trial, but Pedro Horrach is not seeking any punishment for Princess Cristina, considering her not guilty of charges she conspired with her husband to commit tax fraud through the Aizoon company. Those charges were brought by a private anti-corruption group known as Manos Limpias (Clean Hands).

Thanks For Mutton! The excavation of an ancient rock shelter in northern Spain has yielded evidence of five thousand-year-old livestock pens. The ancient structures offer some of the earliest evidence of the use of rock walls to secure livestock in the region. Scientists have previously documented livestock enclosures among ancient settlements of Sierra de Cantabria, the mountain range in the province of Ă lava, but this is the first time researchers have used a combination of geological and paleobotanical evidence to do so. The research team -- including scientists from the University of the Basque Country and the University of Barcelona -- confirmed the purpose of the rock shelter through analysis of charcoal, pollen, seeds and other plant remains.

It was a much bigger deal than Little Bo Peep falling asleep and losing her sheep, as a Spanish shepherd grabbed forty winks last week, with over a thousand sheep leaving their pen and going for an early morning walk around the streets of

Huesca. It took five Guardia Civil officers and two cars to round up the flock in just under an hour, with a very grateful but red-faced shepherd happy that there was no bleating from the authorities about what happened

A three-metre tall inflatable representation of dog poo worth three and a half thousand euros has been stolen from the main square in Torrelodones in Madrid province. The display

was part of a council campaign against dog mess, which saw anybody uploading a picture with the poo onto a social networking site being given a free T-shirt and a booklet.

Double Killing

A 50-year-old man stabbed his 76-year old father to death before taking his own life on their Elche apartment landing on Tuesday. Their bodies were discovered around noon , with both men said to have had a row beforehand outside on Paseo de GermanĂas in the El Pla

area of the city. The son is said to have had a history of psychiatric problems with the police called to their home on a regular basis to deal with family arguments, with his mother making the horrific discovery of his and her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies outside a lift.

Fake Scam

Three people face ten years in jail each for using counterfeit notes in eight shops in Alicante and Santa Pola. The cons, committed in 2013, involved buying items with genuine money using high value notes worth up to 500 euros. The purchasers

would then change their mind after buying an expensive item which involved being given change of 20 or 50 euro notes. As they were given an instant refund, the crooks would substitute fake notes into the change that they had to return.

Guardamar is the latest local council to launch an antimosquito campaign for the summer season. The authority is targetting residents with the

messages to make sure that they don't let any water stagnate outside their propertiesas they are prime breeding grounds.

Mozzie Tips

Split Decision

Two men have been arrested for trying to con an insurance company out of money by pretending that a credit card was stolen. The Spaniards were arrested in the San Juan area of Alicante after the credit card owner had gone to the Guardia Civil in April to report that his card had been taken at a busy local bar and had been used to withdraw three thousand euros from 28 ATM machines. Officers studied footage from all 28 locations and discovered that it was the same man taking money off the card, but he was also a friend of the complainant. They were running a scam to make bogus claims for the cash being taken "illegally" out of the account, splitting the proceeds of their labours.

Fishy Catch

The Guardia Civil have seized 425 kilos of illegally caught bluefin tuna that was being sold in a Alicante fishmonger. There was no appropriate papers to show where the fish, with a retail value of 10 thousand euros, was caught and so the agents took away the suspect tuna which was then distributed to local welfare groups.

Viva Victoria!

A young Costa del Sol student has donated 250 euros to the Rojales-based Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre after becoming of one of the winners of a public speaking competition at her Marbella school. Victoria Sagidullina loves horses and chose to support the rescue centre despite living 500km down south in Marbella. Her mum Maria said:- "I feel like she has changed since she came across the centre. She feels so deeply about your charity!" Victoria was one of of six winners, which means her prize will allow two rescued horses to be fed for a whole month. The students actually fundraised all of the prize pot

– and more, which was distributed between their chosen charities – by approaching local businesses and explaining their projects to them. Rescue centre co-founder Sue Weeding said: “We're so pleased to see young people getting involved in animal welfare here in Spain and trying to make a difference. It really does make all the hard work we do feel worthwhile.

Grateful Thanks

The Torrevieja-based Crescendo International Choir has been handing out more money on the back of last month's successful concert with the Chivenor Military Wives Choir that raised four thousand euros for charity. Crescendo

Chairlady Mary Mitchell presented 200 euros to Tony Wagstaff of the Torrevieja Barbershop Harmonisers to pass on to their nominated charity as a big grateful thanks for the group loaning their risers for May's concert.

Handy From Andy

Dog lover Andy Murray has announced a new business investment in a device that allows pet owners to track their animals and keep them safe. The world-number-two tennis star has put some of his multi-million pound

fortune into Dog Tracker Nano, a live tracking device which allows owners to monitor their dog's activity, fitness and location. Murray has two terriers, Maggie May and Rusty, and has often spoken about his love for dogs.

Keeping Cool In The Heat Summer is a fun time of year for humans and dogs alike in Spain. Many dogs love to play outdoors despite the heat, but summer safety is no joke, and it's up to you to make sure your dog stays cool and comfortable. Remember that dogs cannot cool themselves by sweating like humans. They might sweat a small amount through their pads, but the main way a dog cools off is by panting. Unfortunately, panting is not enough when it is extremely hot and humid. Some homes do not have air-conditioning, so other alternative cooling methods must be used. If your dog does not wish to stay indoors with the airconditioner, or if you do not have air-conditioning, you can still keep your dog cool as temperatures rise. Here are some useful tips for helping your furry friend

at this time of the year:1. Keep your dog cool and well hydrated with fresh water at all times. Freeze a large block of ice and leave outside in the shade to keep the dog cool. If you're travelling with your dog, take water with you in a dog thermos with an attached drinking bowl. 2. If your pet becomes over heated, keep your dog cool by getting him into the shade or into an air conditioned place. Provide a raised dog house in the shade as a retreat, making sure it's well ventilated. 3. Keep your dog cool if he becomes overheated by wrapping cloths soaked in cold water around his paws, in his arm pits and on the back of her head. Run cold water so his skin is continually in contact with the cold; and even place a fan in front of your dog to promote the cooling evaporation.

4. Trickle small amounts of cool water from a teaspoon onto the tongue of any dog that is panting or has collapsed from heat exhaustion. Small amounts of water help keep the dog cool through evaporation. Do not allow water to work its way down the throat if the dog is unconscious. Seek out medical attention immediately for an unconscious dog. 5. NEVER leave your dog in an enclosed car during summer, even with the windows open. Dogs will overheat in just a few minutes. 6. Take your dog for its walk early in the morning and at night when the air is cooler. If it is especially hot and/or humid, it may be better to skip the walk entirely 7. Have a groomer clip your dog's fur. This is especially important for dogs with thick, long coats.

Be aware, though, that sometimes the fur will take a long time to grow back after it has been clipped. 8. On very warm days, watch your dog's condition closely. If anything seems odd, such as your dog panting excessively, get it well away from the sun, get it water, and cool it down. 9. If your dog loves water, then a large tub or kiddie pool (moulded plastic, not inflatable) might be a great addition to your patio. Many dogs enjoy playing and lounging in the cool water. Just make sure you supervise your dog at all times. Also, keep the pool in a shady spot and change the water frequently. Do not leave the pool full when not in use, as it may attract mosquitoes. Instead of a pool, you might also try running a sprinkler to see if your dog likes it. Most dogs though prefer a pool to a sprinkler.

TRELI ON THE TELLY WITH ALEX TRELINSKI

In the wasteland that is the summer TV schedule, I’ve been totally reeled in by what is the most disturbing piece of television that I’ve come across since the sight of the half-naked torso of John McCrirrick on Celebrity Big Brother a few years ago. It’s a drama airing on FOX UK called Outcast which is a US series based on the horror comics of the same name penned by Robert “The Walking Dead” Kirkman. With that kind of pedigree you know that comfortable would not be the way to describe Outcast which is a demon/exorcist drama that literally knocks

Glenister’s No Outcast

you out. I just wasn’t ready for the scene in the first episode when a small boy, possessed by nasty spirits, has his head literally kicked in by the two stars of the show and I mean kicked hard in a Gestapo style routine! Some of the scenes make The Exorcist look like tame stuff, which is all somewhat ironic as a small screen version of the classic seventies movie is on the way, but the problem is that Outcast has beaten it to the punch (pun intended!). Incredibly a review in the UK Daily Telegraph said that Outcast wasn’t scary enough? Excuse me!

Put aside the shock value of Outcast as you the centre of it has to be a good yarn and based on the first two episodes, you’ve certainly got one. Patrick Fugit plays Kyle Barnes, a man who has been possessed by demons since he was young, and his “shaveless” version looks like a dead ringer for eighties singer Rick Astley! His search for answers leads him into a relationship with the Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister:- Yes…that Philip Glenister!) , an American evangelist who believes he is fighting in a holy war against Earth's evil forces.

Barnes and Glenister are great, and the Brit favourite is a million miles away from Gene Hunt as he drawls away in a Deputy Dawg accent and shows us a very different side to his obvious acting talent. Outcast is so different from anything I’ve come across before with the high production values, and us Brits have the Glenister bonus with a brilliant irony. How many of you remember an ITV stinker from 2009 called Demons? It starred Glenister as…..wait for it… ..an American demon hunter! Second time lucky for Glenister then and series two already commissioned even before the first episode in the States a fortnight ago. We haven’t seen too many high class new US dramas in the last year, so Outcast gets a very warm (and scared) welcome from me! My TV soccer viewing habits have changed and reduced over the years, especially with two much talk from all channels and not enough action. To be fair, both the Beeb and ITV have done a decent enough job in their presentation so far of Euro 2016, and the

commercial service has shown some imagination by bringing on some new talent including West Ham boss Slaven Bilic who certainly has something to say. My regular gripe though is that between both organisations there isn’t a single main commentator that has the gravity and quality for what is the “national game”, compared to the experienced likes of Martin Tyler, Ian Darke, and Alan Parry who pick up the big bucks on satellite channels SKY and BT. Even worse, the BBC have now resorted to three people sitting in the commentary box to call the matches. Ridiculous! Bring

back the great Kenneth Wolstenholme I say! I know that shows like Line of Duty, Happy Valley, and The Night Manager all had corking finales this year (had to get them all in again), but well done to Peaky Blinders last week for delivering a one hundred percent game changer. Star Cillian Murphy said that the next series would offer a very different set of circumstances, and that’s stating the obvious if you’ve seen the episode already. Good to see that Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomans character dodged the bullet. He’s worthy of a spin-off in his own right.

Filming Starts On Second Series Of Unforgotten

Critically acclaimed ITV drama series Unforgotten starring Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar returns to production later this month (June 2016). Nicola and Sanjeev will be joined by Mark Bonnar (Undercover, Shetland, Catastrophe) Rosie Cavaliero (Prey, Hunderby, The Enfield Haunting), Lorraine Ashbourne (Jericho, The Interceptor, New Tricks), Badria Timimi (EastEnders, DCI Banks, Killing Jesus) Charlie Condou (You, Me and the Apocalypse, Coronation Street, Casualty), Holly Aird (Page Eight, The Promise, Identity), Nigel

Lindsay (You, Me and the Apocalypse, Foyle’s War, Poirot), Peter Egan (Downton Abbey, Grantchester, Doctor Who) and Wendy Craig (Death in Paradise, Doctors, Marple). The second series will feature a brand new story from creator and writer Chris Lang who once again explores the fallout from the investigation into an historic murder case. The story begins with the discovery of a body. This time the perfectly preserved remains of a middle aged man found in a sealed suitcase in the silt of the River Lea in northeast London. As Cassie and Sunny begin the

complicated task of trying to identify the victim, we will meet four unconnected people who we suspect are linked in some way to the victim. The dead man turns out to be David Walker who disappeared in 1990 and left behind a wife, who has since remarried, and her son who is now in his early 30s. Their story will run across six episodes and will draw upon very current themes and jeopardy. As the investigation progresses, we're introduced to Brighton based lawyer Colin Osborne, paediatric nurse Marion Kelly, school teacher Holly hides a wrap of cocaine from Cain but goes to take it when the coast is clear. In Coronation Street, Sarah bumps into Lee in the Corner Shop and tells him that she's desperate to see Billy. Claiming that Billy is on his way round, Lee lures Sarah back to his bedsit. While Sarah waits anxiously for Billy, Lee steals Sarah's phone from her bag and

In Emmerdale Belle flees from Doctor Bailey's trashed home, but Bailey begs Angie not to call the police. Belle goes straight to confront Lachlan for interfering in her business, but he responds by admitting that he loves her. When she gets back home, Belle tells Lisa that the stalker story was just a cover for her affair. Later, the police arrive to arrest Belle. She continues to cover for Lachlan as she's sure that Doctor Bailey will save her, but is her confidence misplaced? And is Bailey in trouble when Angie begins to suspect that he isn't telling her everything?

Meanwhile, Diane, Kerry, Nicola and Laurel bust a full-scale toy gun battle between their partners on the pirate ship. Nicola openly tells Jimmy off, explaining that he's supposed to be 'babysitting' Ashley. However, Ashley then appears from the pirate ship and the penny drops for him over what's been going on recently. How will Laurel explain herself? Elsewhere, when Carly brings over some laxatives for April, Marlon maliciously stirs some into some gravy ready to serve to Pierce at the pub. Will he come to his senses before serving up the concoction? Also today,

calls his brother. Lee informs Billy that he's holding Sarah hostage and will release her in return for £1,000. Billy is horrified. Having explained Sarah's predicament, Billy recruits Todd and David to check out some addresses in search of Lee while he tries to raise the cash. As a jittery Sarah waits for Billy, Lee fuels her fears by insisting that Callum is still alive. Sarah is terrified, with her worst nightmare apparently confirmed. Sarah attempts to make a run for it, but Lee grabs her and they wrestle on the floor. Reminded of her ordeal at the hands of Callum, Sarah breaks down

Sara Hamoud and DI Tessa Nixon, the victim's wife, a respected police officer months away from retirement. The complex and emotional plot takes us across the country to the Cotswolds, East London, Salisbury and the South Downs. It is directed once again by Andy Wilson (Ripper Street, Endeavour, Poirot), produced by Tim Bradley (Death in Paradise, Primeval) who was also responsible for the first series of Unforgotten and executive produced by Sally Haynes (HIM, Unforgotten, Bleak House), Laura Mackie (HIM, Unforgotten, Cutting It) on behalf of Mainstreet Pictures. Creator and writer Chris Lang is also an Executive Producer. The drama will continue to explore some of the themes of the first series, but the primary theme will be our society's relationship with evil. When exactly does a good person start becoming defined by society as a bad person, and at what point in their life does a damaged child stop being exempted for their crimes allowing us to simply label them evil. "We were delighted at the

response to Unforgotten and it's fantastic to be bringing back Cassie and Sunny to investigate a different historical murder,” said Sally Haynes on behalf of producers Mainstreet Pictures. “As with the first series Chris has written a complex, emotional and surprising story that challenges our heroes as they uncover long hidden secrets in the lives of the suspects". Unforgotten writer, creator and Executive Producer Chris Lang said: “I am so excited to be making a second season of Unforgotten. Once again we have managed to assemble a jaw dropping cast, alongside a hugely talented production team, and I cannot wait to see the stories I have created, start to come to life on screen.” The series will also star Jassa Ahluwalia (Peaky Blinders, Legends, Some Girls) who returns as Cassie’s son Adam, Bryony Hannah (Call the Midwife, Bing, Jupiter Ascending) and Will Brown (Call the Midwife, Doctor Who). ITV's Controller of Drama Victoria Fea has commissioned the new series and will oversee production for the broadcaster.

Editors Note

Because of the Euro 2016 football tournament we have had to jiggle things around a bit in the pages of your Courier TV guide. We don´t want you to miss out on your soap highlights, so we have had to find space to feature those which will be broadcast on Sunday. Plus, for those hoping to escape the football, we have tried to find you an alternative to watch on those days where the schedules are dominated by the sporting fixtures.

Nick Knowles travels to Basildon, Essex, to meet nine-year-old Brandon, who suffers a severe form of epilepsy and can have up to 30 seizures a day.

ITV Daytime’s resident judge, Robert Rinder, is lifting the lid on some of Britain’s worst crimes in a brand new documentary series, Judge Rinder’s Crime Stories. Used to ruling the courtroom in his own hit TV series, respected criminal defence barrister, Judge Rinder, is stepping out from behind the bench to take a closer look into a variety of major crimes. The brand new series will delve deep into each real-life case using witness accounts, CCTV footage and news reports to reconstruct defining moments. From murders to extreme cases of fraud, the series examines the police efforts

that helped solve these crimes, as well as looking into miscarriages of justice. In the first episode, Judge Rinder examines the case of Laura Davies who was murdered by her 22-year-old boyfriend Jordan Taylor.

SOAPS

In Emmerdale, When the police turn up unannounced at the farm, Cain orders Holly to get rid of his bloody shirt. Holly realises that she needs to hide her drugs too and manages to get them into the same bag. When Moira insists on getting rid of the shirt herself, Holly fears she’ll discover her drugs too.

The culinary contest returns with Donna Air, Marcus Butler, Tommy Cannon, and Alexis Conran and Sinitta, the first of 20 celebrities hoping to follow in the footsteps of last year’s champion Kimberly Wyatt. They begin by creating dishes using ingredients from a Mystery Box, before taking on the challenge of cooking in a restaurant kitchen in two groups. Finally, the celebrities return to MasterChef HQ, where each contestant prepares a two-course meal of their own design in one hour, before judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace decide who will be going home. Continues on Friday.

Later, Holly is alarmed to realise that she has lost the full stash of drugs and panics - knowing Simon will not be happy at all. Meanwhile, Belle hears the police have visited Cain. Charity intervenes by having a heart to heart with Belle. She also comes up with a solution to help keep Belle away from Doctor Bailey.

Elsewhere, Finn is delight-

The Big C and Me

In the last episode, three people face up to the reality of life or death with cancer. We meet 33 year-old Mark as he receives treatment in the chemotherapy unit at the Christie Hospital in Manchester. Mark’s prognosis is terminal; he has been living with bowel cancer for five years, and knowing that the clock is ticking he has one dream - to live long enough to see his young son on his first day of school. Over the year we see Mark

and his wife Kerrie enjoy the time they have, but each appointment brings his prognosis into sharp relief: good news means they can hide from his cancer for a while, bad means they have to reassess their shrinking future. Fifty year-old Steve (pictured), a self-employed painter and decorator, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. We join him as he wraps up work on the building site in readiness for surgery, which will see him unable to work for two months. Being out of action means no earnings - an additional worry for the whole family. Post-surgery, Steve is determined to put his cancer behind him, but

setbacks in his recovery mean he’s not going to get back to normal as quickly as he’d planned. As he awaits the all-important results, Steve reflects on what it means to have cancer, and reveals how important it is for him to go back to being the normal guy he once was. For mother-of-three and trainee vicar Katy, the offer of a clinical trial to prevent the return of her malignant melanoma is a chance she has to take, but she knows there may be dangerous side-effects. As she celebrates her daughter’s wedding, we see her wrestle with the decision: put up with the side-effects or live in fear of her cancer returning.

British Airways considers ditching free food in economy class Short-haul passengers could be charged extra to receive meal in move to help BA compete with budget rivals British Airways is considering ditching free food in economy class on shorthaul flights in response to changing consumer habits – and even the free long-haul meal could be up for review. Passengers would instead have the option of paying for a better quality meal, the new BA chief executive, Alex Cruz, is considering. Cruz, who took over in April, was formerly at BA’s codeshare partner Vueling, a Spanish budget carrier. Charging for meals would remove one of the last onboard differences between BA and its budget rivals, but help the national carrier compete on fares. BA has already added charges for checking in bags, brought in under the guise of discounts for hand-

luggage-only fares. The other airlines owned by BA’s parent company IAG – Vueling, Iberia and Aer Lingus – already charge for food, and passengers on budget carriers have become accustomed to buying food from shops in airport departure lounges prior to boarding. BA said reports of imminent meal charges, including a possible tie-in with suppliers such as Waitrose, were “pure speculation”. However, John Strickland, a leading airline consultant, said the move would be no surprise, and could save the airline unnecessary wastage as well as raising revenue. He said: “In business class, passengers are still getting a very nice product offer. But it’s inconsis-

tent in economy. People are used to going onboard loaded with food from shops at the moment because they don’t know what to expect on BA – a full meal, or a wrap and a packet of

crisps. BA is in a no-man’s land at the moment. It needs to bring some clarity to better meet or manage customer expectations.” Long-haul passengers may not be immune to the devel-

opments. A new “enhanced meal” option on long-haul flights has recently been introduced by BA, where passengers pre-pay for a menu of their choice. Cruz’s boss, Willie Walsh,

the chief executive of IAG, recently told the Guardian that he was an admirer of low-cost, long-haul operator Norwegian, which charges transatlantic passengers £28 for a pre-ordered meal service or £10-11 for fresh food from the trolley. “There appears to be consumer acceptance of that ... that if you want a meal on a longhaul flight, you’re going to have to pay for it. We’ll see what happens.” A BA spokesman said: “We are constantly reviewing every element of the experience our customers receive, including the inflight catering, to ensure we’re delivering what they want. Everything we do is with our customers in mind and we will make changes that reflect their feedback.”

Which milk is healthiest?

Confused by the different types of milk in the chiller cabinet? Once upon a time we simply reached for the full-fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed, but it's is a more complex business these days. From A2 and filtered to supermarket and organic, there’s a baffling range of

the white stuff to choose from. So, what’s the difference between them? Standardised milk Standardised milk is the most widely available kind in the UK. Found in supermarkets, convenience stores and service stations, it has been processed to ensure the contents of every bottle

are the same. Milk is transported to a central processor, where it’s combined and then pasteurised to destroy bacteria, which gives it a shelf life of around two weeks. The milk is separated into its cream and liquid components, and then re-blended to create the required amount of fat for whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed (see below). Most milk is also homogenised to distribute the fat globules evenly to prevent the cream from separating and rising to the top. Whole milk Standardized whole milk contains 3.5% fat, whereas milk straight from the cow contains 4% or more; manufacturers use the cream they remove to make other dairy products. You can still find milk that contains 4% fat or more – it’s often organic or from Jersey or Guernsey cows (see below). Whole milk contains much more fat-soluble Vitamin A than semi-skimmed or skimmed, as well as more

Vitamin E. However, skimmed and semiskimmed milk contains slightly more calcium. This is because the watery proportion of the milk – where the calcium is found – goes up as fat is removed. Some people are put off buying whole milk because it contains saturated fat and cholesterol. However, a growing body of research suggests that the kind of saturated fat found in dairy is not as bad as previously thought and may actually be healthier. Semi-skimmed milk The most popular milk in the UK, semi-skimmed milk contains 1.5% – 1.7% fat. It has slightly more calcium but significantly less Vitamin A and E than whole milk. Skimmed With an average fat content of 0.1%, skimmed milk contains virtually no fat. Like semi-skimmed, it has slightly more calcium than whole milk and very little Vitamin A or E. Organic Organic milk is produced

without the use of pesticides and with higher standards of animal welfare than nonorganic. Some studies suggest it is more nutritious, possibly because organic cows graze on clover-rich pasture. One study published earlier this year found organic milk was potentially healthier than non-organic, with 50% more omega-3 fatty acids and higher concentrations of iron, vitamin E and other nutrients. Organic whole milk often contains 4 per cent fat or more, a higher level than standardised whole milk. Unhomogenised Milk is homogenised by mechanically forcing it through small holes at high pressure to break down the fat globules. This distributes the fat evenly so the cream doesn’t rise to the top, and also makes the milk whiter. Most milk in the UK is now homogenised because processors believe it is more appealing to consumers who might mistake visible cream for a sign that it has

spoiled. Homogenisation has no nutritional benefit – in fact, some doctors say it is harder to digest. UHT and sterilised milk Ultra Heat Treated and sterilised milk is pasteurised to an extreme temperature to kill all potentially harmful bacteria so it can be stored at room temperature for long periods without spoiling. Nutrients are lost in the process. Filtered milk Filtered milk goes through an extra, fine filtration process to remove souring bacteria, and is packed in opaque bottles, which can extend shelf life up to 45 days. According to The Dairy Council, no nutrients are lost in the process. Lactose-free cows’ milk Lactose-free milk has been filtered to remove lactose, and the lactase enzyme added back in, to make it suitable for people with lactose intolerance. It contains the same nutrients as standard cow’s milk and tastes the same.

Brexit could be bad for pasties

Dessert

Rocky Road Ingredients

Serves: 6 2 medium-sized bars of milk chocolate a couple of handfuls of mini marshmallows 6 digestive biscuits (broken into largish chunks) a handful of raisins (optional)

Directions Prep:10min › Cook:30min › Ready in:40min And here is the easy bit how to make them: Melt the chocolate in a bowl suspended over a pan of boiling water, making sure that the water does not touch the bowl. Once the chocolate has melted add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, but make sure that you don't break up the biscuits too much. Pour into a baking tray, which has been lined with parchment or greaseproof paper, level out and stick in the refrigerator for a few hours. Once the mix has set, tip out and cut into squares, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy it with your rocky road.

Fears are being voiced that the future of some of Britain’s most famous food products will be threatened by a vote to leave the EU. The Cornish Pasty Association is worried the pasty will lose its legal protection against imitation. Since it was granted Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status by the European Commission in 2011, any pasty sold as a ‘Cornish pasty’ has to be made in the county. It also means Cornish pasties contain only diced or minced beef, potato, swede, onion

and seasoning and the pastry must also be crimped on the side – any variation and it’s not a genuine Cornish pasty. CPA chairman Jason Jobling said: “As an organisation that has benefited from the EU protected food names system, and no clear evidence available to demonstrate that Brexit would enable that protection to continue, the CPA supports Britain remaining in the EU and being able to participate in that system.” Similar concerns have been raised about the status of Stilton cheese, Melton Mowbray pork pies,

Whitstable oysters, Scotch beef and Kentish ale, among others. The CPA, made up of pasty producers from across the Duchy, says it has been given no reassurance that the meaty treat’s iconic status would continue if voters choose to leave. It could put an industry worth more than £65 million annually to the region’s economy in some jeopardy. The 2011 awarding of PGI status by the European Commission ended a nineyear fight for special recognition.

Ricotta & almond courgette ravioli

INGREDIENTS: 2 large courgettes, preferably yellow, 25ml extra virgin olive oil, 100g toasted flaked almonds, 250g ricotta 50g vegetarian cheese, finely grated, Small handful of fresh basil leaves, finely sliced, 75g wild rocket. Sea

salt and finely ground black pepper TOMATO SALSA: 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 shallot, peeled, 1 garlic clove, peeled, 300g vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, quartered. Large handful of fresh basil leaves, finely sliced. METHOD: Slice the courgettes into long thin ribbons using a mandolin or vegetable peeler. You need 40 strips in total, at least 12.5cm long. Any trimmings can be used in a stirfry, soup or salad. Toss the ribbons in a bowl with the oil until evenly coated, and set aside to soften while you prepare everything else. For the salsa, place the oil

and vinegar in a medium bowl. Finely chop the shallot and garlic, add to the bowl and whisk everything together. Season to taste, then toss the cherry tomatoes through. Using a potato masher, roughly mash them up a little so the juices squish out, making a sauce but leaving lots of texture. Finally, stir in the basil. Set aside while you prepare the filling. Blitz 75g of the flaked almonds in a mini-blender to give fine crumbs. Tip into a medium bowl and add the ricotta, hard cheese and basil. Stir together well and season to taste. This can be made up to two days ahead. Lay two pieces of courgette criss-crossed over each other

on a clean board. Spoon a tablespoon (about 15g) of the ricotta mixture in the centre. Wrap the two ends of the bottom piece of courgette over the filling, followed by the other two ends to enclose. Turn the parcel over so it is seam-side down. Repeat to make 20 in total, arranging 5 on each serving plate as you go. If making in advance, place them on a large tray lined with nonstick baking paper. These can be made up to two days ahead. TO SERVE: spoon the tomato salsa over the ‘ravioli’. Pile some rocket leaves on top, scatter with the remaining toasted flaked almonds and finish with a twist of pepper.

Pork osso bucco, anchovy milk, sage and lemon zest with a lettuce and pea salad

This classic Italian treatment of pork loin also works on the fattier, tastier osso bucco, especially when partnered by a lemony pea and butter leaf salad. Serves four to six. 3 tbsp olive oil, 1.25kg bone-in pork osso bucco pieces (ideally from the thick centre of the shin), Salt and freshly ground black pepper, 6 banana shallots, peeled and halved, 10 garlic cloves, peeled and halved, 10 anchovy fillets, chopped, 1 lemon, peel taken off in thin strips, and white pith removed. 10 sage leaves, sliced, 5 sprigs fresh thyme, picked, 3 bay leaves, 250ml white wine, About 1 litre whole milk. For the salad 125g fresh (or frozen and defrosted) podded peas , 2 heads butter lettuce, separated, 1 handful each mint and parsley leaves, roughly chopped, A few sprigs fresh

tarragon, leaves picked and chopped, 1 small banana shallot, peeled and finely minced, ½-1 tbsp Dijon mustard, to taste, 1 tsp whitewine vinegar, 3-4 tbsp extravirgin olive oil. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large casserole on a medium-high flame. Season the pork all over, brown in the hot oil (in batches, if need be), then lift out of the pan. Turn down the heat to medium, add the remaining oil, the shallots and garlic, and fry, stirring occasionally, until they start to colour slightly. Add the anchovies and squish them into the hot fat so they break down, then add the lemon peel, sage, thyme and bay. Fry gently for a minute, then pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Leave to bubble for a couple of minutes, then turn down the heat, return the pork to the pot and add enough milk

just to cover. Season again (remember that the anchovies are already salty), then cover and leave to simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and cook for an hour and a half to two hours more, until the meat is very soft and tender. The sauce should have reduced nicely by now, but if not, take out the meat and leave the pan juices to bubble and thicken over a medium-high heat. It may end up looking a bit curdled, but don’t worry – it tastes fantastic. Keep warm while you make the salad. Bring a small pan of water to a boil, blanch the peas for three minutes, then drain and refresh in cold water. Tip into a salad bowl with the lettuce and herbs, and season generously. Whisk together the minced shallot, mustard, vinegar and olive oil, then pour over the salad and toss. Squeeze over the

juice of half the zested lemon and serve alongside the pork pieces with the sauce spooned over. And for the rest of the week… Any leftover pork and salad make a mouth-watering filling crammed inside a lunchtime baguette. Whizz up any excess herbs with a few anchovies and a tablespoon of capers, transfer to a jar, cover with oil and keep in the fridge as a standby salsa verde to go with grilled fish, peppers, fennel, courgettes or aubergines; it’s also very good stuffed under the skin of a chicken before roasting. Make double the amount of pickled onions: they keep well, and add flavour to slow-cooked meats. Leftover hibiscus syrup makes a cooling soft drink with fresh lime; it’s also great mixed into prosecco and margaritas.

Cocktail’s of the week

THE SECRET GARDEN It’s world gin day today, so this drink I came up with for The Prince Albert in Battersea is rather appropriate – I’ve been working with Young’s and Geronimo Inns to grow herbs on site for their cocktail garnishes. 50ml gin (I use Plymouth) 15ml rose syrup (Monin, or homemade: Monin’s is the most widely available) 15ml elderflower liqueur (I like St Germain) 20ml lemon juice Soda water, to top Shake the first four ingredients over ice, strain into a tall glass and top with soda. Add a summery garnish: a sprig of lavender and rosemary, a twist of lemon, a strawberry slice, dianthus

petals and lemon balm. CHILLI MARTINI The Providores & Tapa Room has built its reputation on smart fusion cooking, and that applies to our drinks, too. This refreshing summer cocktail has a kick of chilli heat, and it’s supersimple. Serves one. 50ml vodka (I use the East London Liquor Company’s) 35ml passionfruit puree 7ml sugar syrup 12ml lime juice 2 pinches Turkish chilli powder, plus 1 pinch extra to finish ½ egg white Shake all the ingredients over ice, then double-strain into a chilled martini glass, garnish and serve.

Fruit pudding for summer Just a quick pudding, that is all I ask. Nothing that will take an age to make or involve every piece of kit in the kitchen. Just something sweet with which to round things off. A paste of nuts and berries rolled up in pastry and baked, perhaps; a dish of scarlet fruit in a warmly spiced citrus syrup; maybe a spoonful of strawberries crushed so their juices bleed. Any of those would do me nicely. All-butter puff pastry costs more but gives a better flavour than the cheaper butterless versions. I make these pastries, each no bigger than a digestive biscuit, early in the day, before the kitchen gets hot. Cool pastry is easier to handle – it often becomes too soft to roll in a warm room. A cold marble slab helps. The two textures of nut – ground and finely chopped – give a more interesting filling than one using all ground almonds, but the choice is yours. Hazelnuts work, too, but not walnuts, which are apt to turn bitter in an oven hot enough to cook puff pastry. The final generous brushing with maple syrup and return to the oven gives the pastries the essential stick-to-your-fingers quality. Makes 8 apricot jam 150g, ground almonds 75g, blueberries 200g, shelled pistachios or almonds 50g, puff pastry 250g, a little beaten egg, maple syrup 4 tbsp. Put the apricot jam into a mixing bowl with the ground almonds and blueberries.

Roughly chop the pistachios, add to the mixing bowl then stir the ingredients together to form a rough paste. Set the oven at 180C/gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Roll the pastry to a rectangle measuring roughly 32cm x 22cm on a floured board. With the short edge toward you, spread the surface with the pistachio and blueberry mixture. Roll the pastry away from you into a short, plump sausage. Brush the outside with the beaten egg. Cut the pastry into 8 thick slices, then place them on the lined baking sheet, giving each a little room in which to puff up and out. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes till puffed and golden. Remove from the heat, then brush the pastries generously with the maple syrup and return to the oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove, cool briefly, then lift on to a cooling rack. Strawberries crushed with balsamic and cream Choose the smallest, sweetest strawberries you can get your hands on. Those that are crimson inside too will be more rewarding than those with a white core. Hull them, then crush them, not quite to a purée, in a bowl with a fork. Fold in a mean trickle of balsamic vinegar, and if you must, a dribble of cream. Pile on to slices of toasted brioche if you find such a thing, or on to warm scones if not. Or just scoop it up from the bowl with a spoon.

THE CONJURING 2 REVIEW

DIRECTOR James Wan GENRE Horror SYNOPSIS Reprising their roles, Oscar nominee Vera Farmiga ("Up In the Air," TV's "Bates Motel") and Patrick Wilson (the "Insidious" films), star as Lorraine and Ed Warren, who, in one of their most terrifying paranormal investigations, travel to north London to help a single mother raising four children alone in a house plagued by malicious spirits RELEASE DATE June 17, 2016 DURATION 133 mins MoPatrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as real-life demonologists — this time tackling a haunting in

working-class England — in James Wan's sequel to his 2013 horror hit. They’re ba-aack. Three years after The Conjuring rattled the multiplex with old-school horror, director James Wan ups the ante with an excellent sequel. His focus again is a documented case from the files of the Warrens of Connecticut, the shockingly white-bread demon fighters whose involvement with the so-called Amityville Horror put them on the pop-culture map — and also made them objects of derision. Wan’s expert deployment of genre jolts is no less in evidence this time around, but as he takes his time — perhaps even a bit too much of it — interweaving

the Warrens’ story with that of the Hodgsons, in the London borough of Enfield, he crafts a deep dive into dread. The film builds to a symphonic climax of heaven-and-hell emotion. The returning Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson imbue the roles of Lorraine and Ed Warren with the kind of lived-in nuance that illuminates their recent brilliant work on cable series — Bates Motel and Fargo, respectively, shows that traffic in their own brands of horror. Along with an excellent Madison Wolfe, as the 11year-old girl who’s tormented by a restless spirit, or perhaps something worse, they lead an ace cast in a terrifically atmospheric plunge into ’70s-vibe melancholy. There’ll be noth-

ing shocking about the feature’s muscle at the box office. Where the first film found the Warrens in the relative anonymity of their preAmityville days, The Conjuring 2 is set a decade later, when the clairvoyant Lorraine has insisted they take a break from case work. It’s not merely an attempt to lay low amid a mounting tide of talk-show scorn; she’s shaken to the core by a vision she had during their Amityville investigation — brought to chilling life in the séance sequence that opens the movie. But when the Catholic Church requests their assessment of a troublingly intractable situation in England, they pack their Bible and go.

What A Family Day Out!

The Courier newspaper, TKO Radio and ThePocketDirectory.com have teamed up with the Terra Natura animal park in Benidorm to offer you the chance to win four free tickets to the park every week, so the whole family can have a fun day out meeting some of the wonderful and exotic animals on display at the park. We started looking at some of the animals in the park last time, this week we are getting even closer to the animal action than ever. Near to the aviary you will

also find a petting zoo, where animals wander freely, eating, drinking and sleeping in their open environment, as well as curiously mixing with the visitors who join them in their pens. From llamas and goats to alpacas and even horses, the animals are all at hand for you to interact with as you wander through. You need to be careful of some of the cheekier animals though, they will sometimes take the opportunity to sniff your bags in search for your lunch, but they mean no harm, they are just being

curious. In the same area you will also find a wealth of smaller animals wandering through their spacious pens, rabbits and hares, guinea pigs and more, are all on display in the park.

We mentioned the tigers last time too, but they are not the only big cats in the park, there is also a lion family, male and female, who stroll through their own area, perhaps teasingly observing, albeit from a safe

distance, a wealth of other wild animals just out of their reach, such as deer, antelopes, and moose. Keep reading The Courier for more about Terra Natura but for now, make sure you listen to TKO Radio every

day for your chance to win a set of tickets, but donÂ´t worry if youÂ´re not lucky enough this week, check through the pages of The Courier or visit thepocketdirectory.com for some incredible discount vouchers.

How much sleep should a child get every night? Contact@medb.es

Parental warning: Don’t lose sleep over new guidelines on how much shut-eye your kids should be getting.

The recommendations range from up to 16 hours daily for babies to at least eight hours for teens. They

come from a panel of experts and give parents fresh ammunition for when kids blame them for strict bedtimes. The guidelines released Monday are the first-ever for children from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. They encompass recommendations the American Academy of Pediatrics has made at different times for different ages. According to the guidelines:

Website: www.medb.es

Adequate sleep is linked with improved attention, behaviour, learning, mental and physical health at every age covered. And insufficient sleep increases risks for obesity, diabetes, accidents, depression and in teens, selfharm including suicide attempts.

The recommendations are based on a review of scientific evidence on sleep duration and health. Recommended daily / nightly sleep duration is: 12 hours to 16 hours including naps for infants aged 4 months to 12 months. Younger infants aren’t includ-

ed because they have a wide range of normal sleep patterns. 11 to 14 hours including naps for children aged 1- to 2 years.10 to 13 hours including naps for children aged 3 to 5 years. 9 to 12 hours for children aged 6 to 12 years. 8 to 10 hours for teens aged 13 to 18 years.

Will I get acne if I eat fatty foods? Acne is caused by oil-producing glands in the skin getting blocked

Up to 80% of us will get acne to some degree. A study of final-year medical students at Melbourne University found many

believed that fatty and sugary foods were second only to stress in causing spots. As the researchers leading the study pointed out, these

beliefs were not based on evidence. Those silly medical students. Why didn’t they consult the British Association of

Dermatologists’s patient leaflet that says there is “little evidence that any foods cause acne, such as chocolate and fast food”? Yet a new book by two dermatologists – Perfectly Clear: The Perfect Guide to Clear Skin – says that restricting refined processed carbohydrates (such as sugar, white flour and white pasta) can reduce acne. Research from the British Medical Journal also shows that a diet high in dairy, particularly skimmed milk, can increase severity of acne. Greasy foods in general? Not so much. Acne is caused by oil-producing glands in the skin getting blocked, leading to blackheads, redness and spots with pus where bacteria infiltrate the area. Production of oil (sebum) is increased by sex hormones, hence the appearance of acne at adolescence. Acne

is definitely not caused by dirty skin. However, diet may have a role, albeit a small one. So should you modify your diet if you get spots? The solution Milk may increase acne because cow feed includes sex hormones – these then stimulate sebum production and foster spot formation. Since foods with a high glycemic index (HGI) – those that make blood glucose rise quickly – increase the release of sex hormones, it’s not clear why skimmed milk is a villain. Some researchers think that drinking it makes people eat more HGI foods than if they drank a fattier variety. The evidence overall is still underwhelming; it is often gathered from small groups of people and is observational in nature, so cannot attribute cause. It also often relies on people

remembering what they ate many years ago. But non-western diets are said to keep populations free of acne – a study of Inuit in 1971 showed that only when they gave up their nomadic life and started eating refined sugar in settlements did they get spotty. Genetics, however, are also likely to play a role. The American Academy of Dermatologists now says “emerging data suggests that HGI diets may be associated with acne”. But it also says that the evidence is not strong enough to advise people to change their diets. Of course, you shouldn’t eat refined, processed carbohydrates anyway – because, regardless of spots, they make you fat and can give you diabetes. The students were right about stress, though – a study showed that exams caused flareups of acne.

Constipation Cures

Constipation is a very common disorder, but unfortunately, it is very badly managed in the hospitals. You can do a much better job managing your constipation than many

hospitals. Understanding the commonest causes of constipation will go a long way in helping you deal with the underlying causes of constipation. Most constipation

stems from a severe deficiency of magnesium, and many factors can give rise to magnesium deficiency. What medications are you taking?Some drugs are known to cause or worsen constipation. Painkillers are one of the worst offenders and cause constipation by preventing the bowels from absorbing water to soften stool. On the long term, painkillers will also drain magnesium from the body. Some blood pressure medications, drugs for treating asthma, and many drugs that work on the nervous system, including antidepressants, will cause constipation. Are you drinking enough

water? Water is important for softening stool. If you do not drink enough water, you may become constipated. Coffee and alcohol dehydrates the body, and can lead to or worsen constipation. Are you eating enough fibre? Fibre is important for encouraging bowel movement and holding stool together. Not all fibres are healthy. Fibres from wheat (bran) are not very healthy as they digest easily into sugar. Good sources of fibre include fresh vegetables and dried fruits, nuts, porridge and oats, and legumes. Do you already use laxatives or have you used

Laxatives in the past? Many people take prescription laxatives for constipation. Unfortunately, laxatives may provide relief, but eventually, they take over bowel contraction, making it difficult for bowel motion to occur without help from laxatives. Those on long term laxatives must retrain their bowels by gradually cutting out the laxative and increasing the quantity of fibre consumed. If all else fails, Take high dose magnesium. High dose magnesium is the gold standard natural treatment for constipation. Magnesium occurs naturally in the body and encourages water retention in the large

intestine to soften stool, and it helps stimulate bowel motion. At Medb, we have seen people constipated for a week, even after hospital intervention, and by prescribing high dose magnesium we have relieved the problem within hours. The recommended dose for severe constipation is 600 1500 mg daily. The only side effect of high dose magnesium is diarrhoea which occurs when the body has absorbed the maximum dose. You can never take too much magnesium. For A Full Body Diagnostic Scan, Call 965071745, 966189074.

Will a holiday make me happy – and if it does, how long will it last? Ice-cream dreams … holidays are way healthier than work. But how can you bring the good times home? Who doesn’t love a holiday? Apart from my husband, who thinks we should save the money in case our boiler packs up. But many people live for them – a time to recover from work and feel less tired and tense. A New York study of middle-aged men at high risk of heart disease found that the more vacations they took, the less

likely they were to die over a period of nine years. But the reality of a holiday can be different from those adverts showing smiling families on blissful, empty beaches. Do they really make us healthier and happier? The solution Research generally shows that while workers return to their offices feeling happier

and healthier, effects fade within two weeks. A study from Tilburg University found that (in a sample of 1,128 men and women) up to 4% of people get sick and bored on vacation or at weekends – a condition the researchers called “leisure sickness”. But Dr Jerome Nawijn, at NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, in the Netherlands,

who has done a lot of research into holidays, thinks there is a “happiness curve”. During the first 10% of their holiday, people are often in a lower mood (the travel phase), those in the next 70% are in a higher mood, followed by a dip between the 80th and 90th % and an upsurge in happiness at the end. There is also some evidence that people anticipate and recall holidays as more enjoyable than they actually were – a “rosy glow” effect. Simon Kemp from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, who interviewed 49 holidaymakers,

found that their most memorable or unusual 24 hours set the tone for the memory of the holiday. However, what constitutes memorable doesn’t have to be that dramatic. A study from the University of Aalborg of German and Danish families found that it could be as simple as everyone sitting down to enjoy an ice-cream. The most restorative holidays tend to be ones that allow people to have time for themselves, choose activities they enjoy, sleep well, exercise and socialise in a warm climate. In a review of the research, Jessica de Bloom, from

Radbound University, The Netherlands, says that the vacation effects of feeling healthy and happier are very strong but shortlived, so take more holidays – a short break seems as good as a two-week one (there isn’t research on anything longer). Prepare beforehand to avoid irritations such as disagreements about activities, or the car breaking down. Prevent a high workload when you get back, as this reduces the healthy effects of a vacation very quickly. Do pleasant things and relax. The effects may not last for long when you return, but at least you had them on holiday.

Vet Jabs Man In Shocker THE trouble with owning a hypochondriacal dog is that it tends to cry wolf. So when our first pooch Brian woke up one morning indicating that he didn't feel well, we never believed him. 'Wrong!' Mrs S has just pointed out. 'YOU didn't believe him! I certainly did!' As Brian dragged an allegedly weary paw across his brow and then pointed at his throat, a concerned Mrs S said to me: 'You'd better rush him round to the vet.' 'You'll have to take Brian,' I responded. 'I daren't be late in at the office this morning. If that contract isn't signed by 9.15, the deal is off and I'll lose millions. 'Then it's goodbye to the mansion, the yacht, everything . . .' Mrs S stared at me. 'What the hell are you talking

about?' 'Sorry,' I mumbled. 'I'm getting real life confused with my fantasy world. But seriously, if I'm late for work again the boss will shout at me.' In the meantime, Brian had staggered out of his basket and was tottering around the kitchen on his hind legs trying to reach up for the Beechams. 'Mummy's little baby is so poorly!' Mrs S shrieked, collapsing to the floor and clutching the shivering beast to her bosom. 'Yuck,' I said. 'Such a drama dog.' So we got to the vet's and I plonked down Brian onto the surgery floor. 'Can you fix him?' I enquired. 'Okay, little feller,' the vet said. 'Let's have you up here on the table and I'll take your

temperature.' I leaped onto the table and raised my bottom in the air. 'Really, Mr Silver,' said the vet. 'Don't you think it's a little too early in the morning for your weird brand of wit?' I shrugged and climbed off the table. Brian stared at me with injured dignity and disgust. 'So tell me, doc, what ails my canine?' 'It's probably just a chill. However, I'd like to check his balance.' 'But Brian doesn't have a bank account,' I quipped. 'Hilarious,' sighed the vet. 'Now, would you please hold the dog while I administer an injection.' I wrapped my arm around Brian's throat and assured him that he would not feel a thing -- which indeed he did-

n't because the dastardly mutt moved at the last second and I got the needle jab instead. Now, I'm not one to dramatise a situation but I felt that some comment was called for. 'You've only just gone and killed me!' I screamed at the vet. 'Nonsense,' he said. 'The drug I have just administered into your vein is specifically for dogs. There are no harmful effects on humans - which just about rules you in.' The second injection was spot on target and wiped the smirk off Brian's face. Both of us left the surgery feeling sore and sorry for ourselves. 'I hate that vet! He's an animal!' I said to Mrs S when me and the mutt got home. 'So why do you have the

needle with the vet?' she asked. I told her about the first jab and Mrs S commenced to giggle. 'That's the main reason I married you -- for your abundant sympathy,' I coolly observed as I watched my wife roll around the carpet, clutching her sides and cackling with laughter. 'Do me a favour,' I snapped. 'I'm going to lie on the sofa for a while. The vet assured me that there'd be no adverse reaction to my injection but if I suddenly start making doggy noises, get me to hospital quick.' 'But you've been barking for years,' observed Mrs S as she filled a hot water bottle for Brian. So I lay myself down on the sofa and tried to take a nap. But something was nig-

gling at me. Not to put too fine a point on it, I was apprehensive that the vet's misplaced injection might turn me into a werewolf. I must have fallen asleep because I dreamed that Dolly Parton leaped off the stage at a gig and bit a member of the audience. The bloke was fine -- until the next full moon when he found himself stalking the back streets in a low-cut frock, crooning Jolene to startled passers-by. Anyway, I awoke and thought that a walk outside might do me some good. There was a full moon out. Funny, but my nose felt cold and my overcoat seemed glossier than usual. Just my imagination, I thought, as I lifted the lid on next door's recycling bin and began foraging for bones.

Ali Bus Is Getting Restored Motoring enthusiasts restoring the bus that drove Muhammad Ali through South Shields

A group of motoring enthusiasts are making sure a bus which famously carried Muhammad Ali through South Shields drives like a dream once again. The North East Bus Preservation Trust have got their hands on the open-top vehicle which the late sportsman rode on during his visit to the town in 1977. The group, which have a base near Hetton, are now excitedly working to return the 50-year-old vehicle to its former glory.

Ali, who laid to rest last week after he died aged 74 on June 3, was heavyweight champion of the world when he came to South Shields in July 1977. Thousands of people lined the streets for a glimpse of the ‘Louisville Lip’, who waved and smiled as he was driven through the town. Steve Griffin has been working alongside Bob Kell, Peter Elliott, Ray Thornton, Simon Cowley and other members of the North East

Bus Preservation Trust to restore the famous motor. He said: “In 1977 it was Jubilee year and it was decorated to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee, which for anybody who was around in the 70s was a big thing for the country. “At that time, Muhammad Ali was visiting South Shields so it was decided to use it for that, and there are many pictures of him standing on the top being shown around the streets of South Shields.

Tyre Load Capacity

the amount of cargo, as well as passengers, often increases compared to our normal daily commute. That is why we have to ensure that the load capacity of the tyre can handle the extra weight we place in the vehicle. Overloaded vehicles quite literally weigh down on the tyres which can increase the risk of uneven wear and the dangers that poses, but also hugely increases the risk of a “blow out”, which in turn could have fatal consequences. Sadly, for the average driver, they don´t make it too simple for us to immediately see what the load capacity Following on from our introduction to checking tyres, we are going to look at some of the elements and details of vehicle tyres and the importance of what they mean. Knowing how to read a tyre forms part of the driving test in Spain, which is testament to how important the DGT feel the subject is. We have already said that they are arguably amongst the most important elements of a vehicle, and often the most abused, but sadly, they are often the most neglected. It is important that the vehicle´s tyres are of a high

quality, not least because of the wear and tear they suffer, investing that little bit more in a tyre could make the difference between life and death. We have already detailed what the figures around the tyre mean but we will go over them briefly again as a reminder. If you look at the side of the tyre you will see a sequence which looks something like this sample, “195 / 55 R 16 87V”. Here, “195” refers to 195 millimetres, the nominal section width of the tyre. “55” is 55%, the aspect ratio, representing the height of the tyre sidewall as a percentage of

is, as the number in the code needs to be converted to a weight. In our example, 87V, the tyres can carry a maximum load of 545 kilograms. Keep in mind though, this is the total maximum weight of the vehicle. It also shows why it is important that all the tyres on the vehicle match, as if they are different, the load capacity may be lower. In our example, the letter “V” refers to a maximum speed of 240 kilometres per hour, but speed limits must be maintained by the road and conditions, rather than the maximum that the tyres can endure.

the nominal section width, i.e., in our case, 55% of 195mm. “R” stands for radial construction. “16” is the diameter of the tyre´s inner rim, this time in inches. “87” is the load capacity of the tyre. “V” indicates the maximum permitted speed. There is also the stamp indicating the week number and the year of manufacture. We want to look specifically at the load capacity of the tyre this time. As the summer holiday season starts, it is quite common for the family car to be loaded up for a long journey cross country, perhaps even across the continent, and

European Tyre Safety Ratings

In 2012, the European Union made moves to implement new rules on the labelling of tyres for sale. Much like washing machines or fridges, and even properties for sale, an easy indication of the tyre´s characteristics would be displayed on the label, enabling the buyer to choose their product based on such elements as efficiency, safety rating and noise. The information on the tyre label included roll resistance, graded from “A” which is the best performance, to a “G” rating, the lower end of the scale in tests. Tyres with a higher resistance increase

the workload of the engine, in turn leading to higher fuel costs. Adherence to wet surfaces was also a graded factor on the label, once again graded “A” to “G”, with “A” showing the best performance. Across the spectrum of the rating scale, the braking distance between a grade “A” and a grade “G” tyre may be as much as 18 metres, significantly reducing the chance of avoiding a collision in the event of having to brake in wet weather. Of course, driving skills and ability can also allow for more compensation by increasing the distance

between you and the vehicle in front, for example. Noise level is also included in the tyre rating, again, this can be determined by other factors such as the road itself. In many places, so called “quiet tarmac” has been installed to reduce noise, but the tyre noise rating is based on an average. When buying new tyres, always check the labelling system to ensure you know the quality of the tyres to be installed on your vehicle. Poor quality may increase risk and with tyre safety, compromise if not an ideal agenda.

BlueMoon Solutions is the computer and IT services company on the Costa Blanca. BlueMoon Solutions come to you at home or work, our personal service covers from Alicante to Pilar de la Horadada. ADVICE: William had a question about what would happen if he didn’t update to Windows 10 by the deadline.

Hi Richard, as time is running out to upgrade to free windows 10 (end July I believe) after which you would have to purchase at cost of 100 euros+, would it be possible to download this free upgrade to a USB stick to install at a later date? If so can you please advise how! Thanks in advance. Regards William.

Hi William, this is s great question, I will go on a bit about this as I think it’s something that many people would be interested in trying to understand better. What will happen when the free upgrade to Windows 10 deadline passes, well the deadline currently is July 29th 2016 and the fact is that nobody (other than a few people in Microsoft I guess) knows what will happen, anyone that tells you differently is either lying, guessing or has much better contacts within Microsoft than I do  So…what’s likely to happen? There are two scenarios as I see it, either Microsoft will extend the free period, sending all sort of “last chance to update now” type messages to those still on Windows 7 or 8 or they will enforce the deadline and those people will have to purchase Windows 10. The price of Windows 10 (on Microsoft’s UK store) is currently 99.99 sterling, although that is the full product and not the “upgrade” and usually Microsoft offer substantial discounts for upgrading from a previous product, so I imagine if they do end up enforcing the deadline they will offer a discounted priced version for those still on Windows 7 or 8. So, can you do anything about it – yes you can, you can upgrade to Windows 10 before the deadline – yes of course this has risks but I’ve covered that plenty of times in previous articles, have a look at http://www.bluemoonsolutions.es/windows-10-after-the-dust-has-settled for more information. The main snag here is that in order to “upgrade” your current Windows 7 or 8 licence to be compatible with Windows 10, you have to physically do the upgrade before the deadline, Microsoft’s servers will then register and upgrade your product key (licence) to a recognised Windows 10 version. Once you have upgraded (and by definition converted your product key to be a Windows 10 product key) you can then downgrade back to Windows 7 or 8 (giving you the option to upgrade at any time in the future you like (for free).

Richard moved to Spain ten years ago having left his management background behind in the UK and decided to use his IT skills to help home users and small businesses with their PC problems. Now a relaxed 'computer man' he is out and about in the Spanish sun every day, making house and shop calls and using his vast experience and qualifications to sort out the problem there and then. Computers are his hobby as well as his work so don’t be surprised to get an answer to your email in the early hours! You can download and burn to DVD or USB stick a copy of Windows 10, in order to do this, you should use the “Windows RTM ISO file”, you can find links to this tool on our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/bluemoonsolutionsspain - we posted them on the 29th July last year. Using this tool, you can have your own “official” copy of Windows 10 on a USB stick or on a DVD, however (and here’s the rub), that copy of Windows 10 is useless without a Windows 10 product key (licence) and you can only get one of those by either performing the upgrade pre July 2016 or by buying one afterwards (assuming they don’t extend the dates of course).

ADVICE: Bob wanted to know how to set his home page in Firefox.

Hi Richard. A question which other people may have and which might be useful for you regular article.I have downloaded the latest update for Skype and it has changed my home page on Firefox to MSN from Google. I have tried to remove it using remove/uninstall programmes but cannot find any way to do it. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the wonderful questions and answers.Thanks Bob.

Hi Bob, yes its annoying when this sort of thing happens isn’t it. There are a couple of tick boxes that are pre-ticked as part of the skype installation that asks your “permission” to make these changes, but because they are pre-ticked, unless you notice them, you will have the changes applied whether you like it or

not. In order 1. 2. 3.

to get your home page back using Firefox you should do the following… Open a tab with the web page you want to use as your home page. Drag and drop that tab onto the Home button . Click Yes to set this page as your home page.

Torrevieja tennis sensation Nicola Kuhn is preparing for Wimbledon by practising on a specially prepared CARPET court, writes DONNA

GEE. Kuhn, Spain’s top player at Under-18 level, aims to go one better than his semi-final achievement at the French

Bags Of Trouble

Academy in Villena has enabled him to get the feel of the lawn surface in SW19. The unseeded 16 year-old reached the last four at Roland Garros despite being forced to play three singles matches in one day after rain decimated the schedule. The impossible workload led to Nico withdrawing from the doubles, in which he and partner Eduard Guell Bartrina had reached the last 16. Ultimately, the exhausted Kuhn bowed out in the singles semi-final to Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime, the only other ITF top-20 player born this century. However, Nico's form against older,

more experienced 17 and 18 year olds in only his third Grand Slam tournament convinced him that he has nothing to fear at Wimbledon. “I am practising on carpet with ATP Top 50 player Pablo Carreno,'' he told me this week. “The preparation is going good but it's a big change and unusual for me to play on such a fast court. I'm happy with my training and I am really improving. I said I would be so motivated to play at Wimbledon for the first time and I still feel fired up for it.'' If confidence is anything to go by, the kid from La Mata will achieve his junior target of climbing into the junior top 10 this year with several months to spare. In fact, a successful showing at the Roehampton tournament which precedes Wimbledon could catapult him there from his current 16th ranking within the next fortnight. However, he is more concerned about his future at senior level, where he is currently ranked 1631 places behind world No.1 Novak Djokovic. His target is to make the top 600 by the end of 2016 – three months before his 17th birthday. And he confesses: ''I don't really care that much about the ITF junior rankings because I know I can beat everyone in the Slams.'' Nico and his long-time coach Fran Martinez fly to London next week to compete first at Roehampton, where all the cream of top young tennis talent will take part in the build-up to the world's premier tennis tournament.

Glorious Mud Blood bags used as evidence in a major Spanish doping scandal must be handed over to authorities for investigation, a Madrid court has ruled. The announcement comes 10 years after Operation Puerto revealed a doping network involving some of the world's top cyclists. Police seized 211 coded blood bags from the clinic of Dr Eufemiano Fuentes. They must now be given to the World AntiDoping Agency, cycling bosses and the Italian Olympic Committee. The authorities successfully appealed against a decision three years ago to destroy the

blood bags. More than 50 cyclists were originally linked to the case. Among those eventually suspended were former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich, Spanish Vuelta champion Alejandro Valverde and Ivan Basso, who later confirmed that his blood was among the frozen samples found. Fuentes also worked in other sports and the new ruling raises the potential for the identities of additional athletes to be revealed. The sports doctor was given a suspended one-year prison sentence for endangering public health, but that sentence was later overturned.

Thousands of athletes turned out at a military base near Madrid in sweltering heat on Saturday to compete in a very dirty obstacle course event. The Mud Day race over 13 kilometres was held under the slogan "running is not enough" and drew over four thousand people eager to navigate a slippery course that included tunnels, dunes and even barbed electric

wire. The fastest time recorded at the Madrid race was an hour and 10 minutes. Valencia City will host another 'Mud Day' on October 1st, and a third will be held in Sevilla on November 26th. The Madrid event was organised after the success of two identical events last year in Toledo and Alcalá de Guadaíra.

Winning Carlos

Pilar de la Horadada hosted the second stage last weekend of the TriWhite Cup 2016, one of the key triathlon events in this part of Spain. More than 500 athletes took part in the contest which was followed by thousands of spectators lining the route especially around the Las Higuericas area. Carlos Ferrando, from Alicante University won the men’s race followed by Eduardo Chorda from Cartagena, and Jorge

Tomás in third. Ferrando crossed in the line in just under one hour and 58 minutes, over a minute clear of Chorda(all pictured). Ana Belén Maruny won the women’s race in two hours and 23 minutes , a massive seven minutes clear of second-placed, Mercedes Velasco. The Tri White series comes to Torrevieja this Sunday morning (June 19th) with the first of the categories starting around the port area at 8.30am.

Russian Welcome Torrevieja council has been putting its sports facilities on show in the hope that Russian national teams and squads may use them for training breaks. Councillor

Fanny Serrano conducted a guided tour of the Sports City area for the Russian delegation led by Sergey Poddubniy of the country's sports and tourism ministry.

Ivie Davies on Golf

Top Of The World

Great Britain and Ireland won golf’s top team trophy for amateur lady golfers, the Curtis Cup for only the second time in the last 10 contests last weekend after overcoming a resurgent USA 11½-8½ in County Wicklow. After claiming five of the six points on day two, they needed just two-and-a-half

points from Sunday's eight singles for victory at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club. Bailey Tardy, Monica Vaughn and Andrea Lee all secured wins for the Americans. But Meghan MacLaren held on to defeat USA's Bethany Wu at the 17th and secure the winning point for GB & Ireland. A win for Leona

Maguire over Sienna Brooks and a half-point from Olivia Mehaffey against world number one Hannah O'Sullivan had put the hosts on the verge of victory. Following the flurry of American success, MacLaren saw her threehole lead with four to play cut to a single hole before

taking the penultimate hole for a 2&1 win to settle the overall contest. Moments later, Bronte Law defeated Mika Liu by two holes to become just the second player ever to record a perfect 5-0 record, American Stacy Lewis having done so at St Andrews in 2008, the year the event switched from

Pablo’s Close Calls Pablo Larrazabal has been keeping the Rules Officials on the European Tour busy in the last few months with a couple of unusual incidents. The first of these found Larrazabal jumping almost fully clothed in to a lake in the middle of his second round at the Malaysian Open in April after he was stung by around 30 hornets. As was permitted by the Rules, the Committee gave Larrazabal some time to be treated by a doctor for his stings and remarkably he went on to birdie the hole.

Decision 6-8a/3 states that where a player has a physical problem the Committee may permit the player to discontinue play for a short time to recuperate from such a problem, however allowing the player more than 10 to 15 minutes to recover is inadvisable. Watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/w a t c h ? v = W 5 u V usCmEk&feature=youtu.be The second incident occurred during the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth when Larrazabal’s third shot to

the 18th green made for uncomfortable viewing for one spectator when somehow his ball came to rest between the legs of a gentleman who was standing at the side of the green. Talk about being in the right place at the wrong time! According to Rule 19-1a, if a ball comes to rest in or on a moving or animate outside agency (for example a spectator) in an area of the course that is ‘through the green’, the player must drop his ball as near as possible to the spot directly under the place where the ball came

to rest in or on the outside the outside agency, but not nearer the hole. The spectator stood firm, calm and unhurt until the player reached him, making it easy for Larrazabal and the referee to determine exactly where the ball came to rest. Amid much hilarity, Larrazabal then dropped his ball directly under the point where it had come to rest without penalty and continued with his round. “Why do all these crazy things happen to me?” asked Larrazabal.

two to three days. “The reason that we have the trophy right now is because we’ve had some amazing team chemistry this week and everyone’s got along so well,” said Law, the world number four. : "For me to end it this way - it's probably going to be my last Curtis Cup - is

just a dream. I am so proud to just represent my country," added Law. Captain, Elaine Farquharson-Black, who had decorated the locker room with images of previous winning teams, said: “Part of this week has been about reminding the players that this is part of something much bigger.

Tough Test

The second major of the year started at Oakmont

Country Club, in Pennsylvania, yesterday, with it being the eighth time that Oakmont has played host to the U.S. Open, routinely turning a simple par into a luxury score! Jordan Spieth, who won last year's U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in Washington, has deep and abiding respect for the challenges Oakmont presents. "This is arguably the hardest toughest course in America. It’s normally the hardest U.S. Open, at least what history shows," said Spieth.

Monte’s New Man

Barcelona’s Neymar Pay Out

CD Montesinos have named their new manager to replace Roberto Cases who

Barcelona has agreed to pay a five and a half million euro fine over the transfer of Brazil international Neymar in 2013. Club president Josep Maria Bartomeu told reporters there had been "a mistake... in tax planning" in connection with the transfer. Barcelona had been accused of tax fraud over the signing, which it denied. Neymar and his father are also being investigated over alleged tax fraud,

which they also deny. "We have had to accept paying a €5.5m fine due to a mistake in the 2011 and 2013 tax planning in the signing of Neymar," Mr Bartomeu said. "It was better to accept this agreement than continue on with the uncertainty that has dragged on for a long time over the Neymar case." Barcelona made a voluntary tax payment of 13 and a half million euros in 2014 after being charged with tax

fraud over the signing, but denied any wrongdoing. Neymar who joined Barcelona in June 2013 after a successful career with the Brazilian club, Santos. Barcelona said it paid 57 million euros for the forward, with the player's parents receiving 40 million and Santos 17 million. But investigators said the fee was closer to 83 million and that Barcelona had concealed part of the deal. The club denied the claim. Earlier this month, Spanish

Heels Healing Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas' and defender Danilo's surgeries on their respective heel injuries have been successful, according to the club. Navas was troubled by the problem in the latter stages of season, although he missed just one game, a 3-2 victory over Valencia at the start of May. Reports suggest his operation will require a four-to-sixweek recovery period, leaving him clear to start the new campaign. Brazilian full-back Danilo’s operation was on his right heel.

More Woe For Rafa

Rafa Nadal has pulled out of Wimbledon because of the wrist injury that forced him out of the French Open at the end of last month. Mallorca's 14-time grand slam champion and former world number one initially felt pain in his left

wrist at the Madrid Open last month but it worsened at Roland Garros and he withdrew before his third-round match. "I’m sad to announce that, after talking to my doctors and receiving the results of my last medical revision, I won’t be able to play at Wimbledon this year. "As you can imagine it's a sad decision but the injury on my wrist at Roland Garros needs time to heal," he announced on his Facebook page. The Spaniard, who turned 30 recently, was initially positive about his chances of playing at Wimbledon but he is desperate to be fit for the Olympics in Rio having missed the London Games with knee problems, so his

withdrawal comes as no surprise. Nadal has been selected as flag bearer for the opening ceremony, a role he had been due to perform in 2012. This is the latest in a catalogue of serious injury problems Nadal has suffered during his career, with his knees causing the most trouble. Nadal’s last major period of absence came in 2014, when he missed three months, including the US Open, because of right wrist problems. He struggled throughout 2015 to recover his best form, failing to win a slam title for the first time since 2004, and this latest injury is a particularly cruel blow because it looked like he was finally close to hitting his peak again.

prosecutors called for Neymar to be tried for fraud. They allege that the player and his father hid the true value of the transfer from Santos to Barcelona. A Brazilian investment fund, which held 40% of Neymar's sporting rights when he played at Santos, argues it was deprived of its full share of the transfer deal. Neymar is also being investigated for tax evasion in Brazil.

left the club at the end of the season. Jose Ignacio Camacho Pavon, known as Camacho, is aged 42 and is an experienced former defender with a long pedigree in the Spanish 2B division and who last season was charge of Orihuela “B”. Camancho played most of his football at clubs like Malaga “B”, UD Melilla, Hercules CF, Extremadura CF and CD Linares. He played a total of 345 matches in his career and scored 22 goals. He met up with the Montesinos players for the first time on Wednesday as well as having further discussions about his plans with club officials.

Man Of Many Clubs Elche have been left in limbo over appointing a new manager to replace Ruben Baraja who resigned last week, after their first choice, the much-travelled exLevante manager Lucas Alcaraz put off signing a twoyear contact with the Ilicitanos. The move followed the news that Elche’s sporting director Ramón Planes (a close friend of Alcaraz) had resigned with Alcaraz actually at the ground on Tuesday for an introductory press conference that had to be hastily cancelled. Elche President Diego Garcia said that he knew that Alcaraz, who has managed and been sacked from 14 clubs, had ties to Planes and that he was continuing to try to convince him to join the club. Planes said that he had quit because no copper bottom guarantees had been given that the independence of Elche’s management board would be maintained if new owners took over the club. He added that he told staff of his decision to leave last weekend with the situation having undergone a “remarkable change”, with Planes now being linked to Rayo Vallecano. Elche (at the time of going to press) said that they were still hopeful of 49-year-old Alcaraz joining them. He started coaching with Granada CF in 1995 at the age of 29, achieving two top-four finishes in the third division in his three-year spell but failing to promote in the playoffs. In the following two seasons he managed in the same category and region, with Almería CF and Dos Hermanas CF, suffering relegation with the former. In June 2000, Alcaraz signed for Recreativo de Huelva, helping the oldest club in Spain return to La Liga after an absence of 23 years in 2002, behind champions Atlético Madrid and Racing de Santander. Alcaraz then moved to Racing Santander, and then spent the following two seasons in the second division, helping Real Murcia to promotion in 2007, but was then fired in 2008 after they went back down again, and then he met the same fate with his next club, Recreativo. In more recent years, he had a short unsuccessful spell in Greece with Aris Thessaloniki FC , he returned to Spain to take over at Granada before he was shown the door, and then took over at Levante in October 2014 lasting a year before he was sacked.

France Into Last 16

Late goals from Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet saw hosts France edge past Albania to become the first side to reach the Euro 2016 knockout stage. Albania struck the post shortly after half-time when Ledian Memushaj bundled a cross past France keeper Hugo Lloris. France striker Olivier Giroud also hit the upright before substitute Griezmann ended Albania's resistance by nodding in Adil Rami's right-wing cross. Payet stroked in with the final kick to give the scoreline a flattering look.

Transfer Gossip Everton's England defender John Stones, 22, is wanted by both Manchester United and Manchester City. West Brom are ready to offer 22-year-old striker Saido Berahino to West Ham in a swap deal for Hammers forward Diafra Sakho, 26. Manchester City, meanwhile, are set to announce the arrival of their second big summer signing - Schalke winger Leroy Sane, 20. Manchester United are close to completing the signing of 34-year-old Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with personal terms agreed and a medical to follow Euro 2016. New Everton boss Ronald Koeman wants to sign Newcastle and Netherlands goalkeeper Tim Krul, 28, and is also considering a move for Zenit St Petersburg's 27-year-old Belgium midfielder Axel Witsel.

RAMÓN PLANES

>> Hodgson sends message to supporters of the national team.

Iceland's 'Small Mentality' Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo hit out at Iceland's lack of ambition after the two sides drew 1-1 at Euro 2016. The Real Madrid player also refused to shake the hands of the Iceland players after the group match in Saint-Etienne. "I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end," he said. "It was unbelievable. We tried hard to win the game and Iceland didn't try anything. This, in my opinion, shows a small mentality and they are not going to do anything in the competition." But former Iceland international Hermann Hreidarsson called Ronaldo "petty" and a "sore loser". The former Ipswich, Charlton and Portsmouth defender, 41, told BBC Radio 5 live: "He thought he could have goals handed to him on a plate. "If he would have worked as hard as every Icelandic player, he wouldn't have had to say anything because I'm sure he would have got his rewards. "He didn't fancy it on the day and he just got beaten up." Ronaldo, making his 127th appearance for Portugal, said it had been a "lucky night" for his opponents and accused them of putting "the bus in the net". Portugal had 72% of the possession and 26 shots on goal to Iceland's four.

Gomes Bid Rejected

Chelsea have had a £32m bid rejected by Valencia for their Portugal international Andre Gomes. It is understood Valencia are keen to drive up the fee for Gomes, due to a sell-on clause between themselves and his former club Benfica. It is a stance that has left Valencia and Chelsea approximately £10m apart in their valuation of the player. Benfica are due to receive 25 per cent of any transfer fee Valencia receive for the player who only arrived at the Mestalla Stadium 12 months ago. Valencia are believed to want to generate £32m from his sale for themselves, and are therefore holding out for approximately £42m. Chelsea have not yet been prepared to increase their offer and are now considering their next move.

Fight Is On For £50M Stones Six major European clubs including Chelsea, Man United, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich- have expressed interest in the 21-year-old defender for Everton and England. the £50 million price tag the Toffees are believed to have placed on Stones shouldn’t put off most of the clubs interested in his services. Stones is the youngest defender on the England starting team and has been capped seven times for the Three Lions.

Dunga After Exit succeed him. The 55-year-old led the club to the Brazilian Serie A title in 2011 and 2015, as well as the Copa Libertadores and World Club Cup in 2012. Whoever succeeds Dunga will lead Brazil's under-23 squad, including Barcelona forward Neymar, in August's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Dunga's replacement will also take over a Brazil side which has made a poor start to qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, occupying sixth place in the South American qualifying group.

ATHLETICS Oscar Pistorius has removed his prosthetic limbs and hobbled around the courtroom at his sentencing hearing in South Africa.

Shame, England! You can take that headline anyway you like - on the field, yes we should have beaten Russia 7 – 0 last Saturday, not sadly drawn 1 – 1, writes JOHN MCGREGOR. Off the field the disgusting scenes of English ‘supporters’ fighting and dragging our country’s name into the mire embarrasses us all, once again in the critical eyes of the world – and UEFA. Enough of that … Back on the pitch England flattered, fluttered, faltered and f…inished it up all square, when they had outplayed their very mode s t

opponents for 90 minutes, but savagely conceded a vital goal just when it mattered in the 91st minute: just how ‘vital’ remains to be seen, as The Courier presses had to roll just as England kicked off against Wales yesterday afternoon (Great opening win over Slovakia for Chris Coleman’s men!). But back to Saturday, and in a key game where we needed badly to score, where was an England finisher when we wanted one? You know, a real first-class goal-poacher, a lightning-fast one who is bang in form the one who will get you a goal when you need one? Why on the bench all the game of course, Leicester’s Jamie Vardy didn’t even get a kick (or Sturridge or Bashford…). With Harry Kane fully occupied by and occupying the Russian defence scoring was left to midfielders like Delle Alli and Adam Lallana – but who didn’t? As for Raheem Sterling – I’ve never seen a player who sees so much of the ball, but does so little with it: wide open spaces, the ability to beat his man in spades, but his final ball is appalling – why was he still on the pitch three

minutes from the end? Here’s another very silly question: why do you let the country’s leading Premier League scorer take the corners? Rooney, Lallana, even Sterling take them for their club is Kane supposed to score from them? Oh, and the free kicks, you know, the numerous ones blasted over the bar by Rooney & Co. When none of the usual suspects could do that job properly it took a thunderous free kick from – no, not England’s top scorer Wayne Rooney but unsung-to-date hero Eric Dier to finally defeat the Russian defence with a real belter. At last, beating the Russkies (on the field) with only 17 minutes to go. Now then, shore it up, Roy get the lightweight performers off and rest some of the workers – and don’t, whatever you do don’t concede a goal… too late! So it’s sleeves up for yesterday’s encounter with Wales, and the Lens at the game will have revealed everything we needed to know about our England team – ability, class – and heart. With the Welsh hoards already cock-a-hoop after that Slovakia win, I’m not going to do a Mystic Meg act in predicting a result that you know already, but I hope Roy Hodgson got things right this time!

It’s Spain against Turkey in Nice tonight at 9.00 pm in the Euro 2016 group stages, but though Spain left it late against the Czech Republic, they deserved their Monday afternoon victory. With some new faces in the team that is

defending their title, it took two of the old guard, Iniesta and Pique to finally finish it Czech-mate style. But in a tight group including Turkey and Croatia the result was all-important. In the same group, the Czech Republic play Croatia, whilst after losing their opening. Northern Ireland were brought down to earth by the experienced Poland, only losing 1 – 0 in their group opener, but it was still a setback for Michael O’Neill’s boys, ahead of today’s clash with the Ukraine, and then a meeting with a team called Germany.
