WORLD drug seizures Miners, weather and rellies...
By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
Well, they managed to get all the chilean miners out in one piece, plus the six rescue personnel that were down there with them. Everybody here at The news were keeping fingers crossed that it would be a successful operation and well done everybody who was at the scene for their clearly expert, patient and dilligent work. The weather has been weird. The first downpour of the season saw water coming in my roof as one part of the building had moved away from the other. not sure whether it was the main house moving away from the bungalow bit or the other way round but if something here isn’t built all at the same time and on the same “pad” it moves. In the uK I’d be having a hissy fit but I’ve got used to movement in buildings here, had it fixed and we’re watertight again. lucky my husband is a Fellow of the Institue of Roofing! A very kind reader, Andrew carless, who writes letters in occasionally has offered to help me through the minefield that is Ancestry.com. This looking up rellies thing looks all very easy on “Who do You Think You Are” on the telly and would be if you happened to have an unusual name, but if you have one that a few thousand people have, it’s so easy to get caught up going down the wrong path and looking up people that are nothing to do with you so, thanks Andrew, I’ll likely be in touch soon!
The National Police have dismantled a “hypermarket” of drugs in the biggest operation ever carried out in Badajoz, Extremadura, against what the authorities called the drug retailing industry. More than 170 policemen participated in the operation, dubbed Jaula (Cage) last Friday, during which seven houses used as distribution points were raided and 16 men and four women aged from 21 to 63 were arrested. The police seized three kilos of hashish, 20 doses of cocaine, 40 of heroine, €35,000 in cash, five sets of
precision scales and tools for handling drugs. They also found a revolver, a sword, machetes and several large knives. Earlier in the week, the Guardia Civil in Alicante seized 9,000 marijuana plants and the six people who cultivated them in what was described as the biggest marijuana plantation in Spain. The operation began in August when the Guardia detected unusual activity in a number of cattle barns which did not appear to house cattle. Four of the people detained are Spanish and two are Dutch.
Aznar appointed head of climate body Former Prime Minister José Maria Aznar has been appointed chairman of the Global Adaptation Instititute, a private nonprofit making body based in Washington DC which has the objective of seeking solutions to global warming. Sr Aznar said the world had to adapt itself to climate change and to new
social and economic circumstances, especially those that benefited the developing countries. Based in Washington and directed by the former Number Two man at the World Bank, Juan José Dabous, the Institute will begin operating on December 1st.
WEATHER WEATHER
Flagship scrapped in deep defence cuts The navy will lose 4,000 personnel and its surface fleet will be cut from 24 to 19 but some squadrons of RAF Tornado jets will be saved - although some air force bases will close. The Army will have to cut up to 7,000 or so personnel over the next five years, and lose 100 tanks and heavy artillery. Last week, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington was "worried" by the scale of UK defence cuts. But a Downing Street
spokesman said the prime minister had spoken to President Obama on Monday, promising the UK would "remain a first-rate military power and a robust ally of the United States". He added it would "continue to work closely with the US on the full range of current security priorities". In his statement to Parliament, Mr Cameron said spending will double on alleviating poverty in areas of conflict, such as Pakistan, Yemen and
Somalia, to £4 billion by 2015, while funding to other states like Russia and China will be reduced. This is the first part of the spending review to be published. The second, due today (Wed) will give details of the huge cuts to departmental spending across Whitehall and spark protests in Westminster by unions and other campaigners who say the cuts will bring job losses,pay cuts and public service cuts.
Govt awards Moroccan minister The Cabinet agreed last Friday to give Spain's highest award - the Great Cross of the Order of Carlos III – to a former Moroccan prime minister, Driss Jettou, who was Interior Minister when Moroccan troops invaded Spain's Perejil Island in July 2002.
The occupation was ordered by the present King's father but the troops were under the orders of Mr Jettou. The Order was established in 1771 to reward people whose actions have benefited Spain.

Education for National Day parade proposed Speaker José Bono and his counterpart in the Upper House, Javier Rojo, have proposed drawing up an education manual aimed at people who feel the need to interrupt official ceremonies to express their disgust with the government. As a result of the constant booing, jeering and whistling at Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero during the National day military
parade on October 12, Defence Minister Carme Chacon has even suggested holding the parade at a military base for invited guests only.
None of the political parties, including the Socialists, support the idea on the grounds that it would violate the right to the freedom of expression
as well as the public's right to attend such an important official ceremony. Sr Bono and Sr Rojo said there are other, more suitable scenarios
for castigating the prime minister - at the ballot box, for example.

First Santiago Holy Year without PM For the first time since the transition to democracy, it appears that this Holy Jacobean Year the country’s prime minister will not visit St James in his cathedral in Santiago de Compostela. Former PMs Leopoldo Calvo Sotelo, Felipe Gonzalez and Jose Maria Aznar all followed the tradition started by Adolfo Suarez of honouring the saint during his Holy Year,
that is, when his day – July 25th – falls on a Sunday. The first Holy Jacobean Year was celebrated by order of Pope Calixto II in 1126. Since then, there
have been 14 Holy Years in every century, following the regular pattern of 6-5-6-11 years. So 1993, 1999, 2004 and 2010 were Holy Years and the next one will be 2021. The Holy Door
(Puerta Santa) is opened on December 31st of the preceding year and since last New Year’s Eve, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia, several ministers, many prominent
Zapatero back in 2004.
politicians and all the regional premiers have gone to Santiago. And Pope Benedict XVI is expected on November 6th. But José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has so far been
unable to fit a visit into his very crowded agenda. In fact, he has not set foot in Galicia since the Socialists lost the March 2009 regional election to the Partido Popular.
Quality of democracy poorer The quality of democracy is poorer now than when the Fundacion Alternativas published its first annual report on Democracy in Spain in 2007 when it was given 6.2 points, down to 5.8 this year.
Abbot argues for moving Franco’s remains The abbot of the monastery at the Valley of The Fallen has stepped into the ongoing debate about the future of Francisco Franco’s remains. Franco built the Valley of the Fallen as a memorial to the men and women who died fighting on both sides in the Civil War and not as a mausoleum for himself, abbot Anselmo Alvarez Navarrete said last week.
He added that when Franco’s daughter, Carmen Franco Polo, was asked some weeks before his death if the family had made any provisions for his burial, she replied in the negative. The abbot said the decision to bury the dictator in the Valley of the Fallen was probably made by King Juan Carlos and not by the family or the government.
Franco’s wife, Carmen Polo, who died in 1988, was buried in the Mingorrubio cemetery near the Pardo Palace where she and her husband had lived since 1940. The abbot has suggested that the best solution to the controversy surrounding the dictator’s remains would be to transfer them to that cemetery, where several of his friends and ministers are also buried.
A Foundation spokesman said the erosion of democracy was not marked, just gradual, but predicted that the downward trend would continue. He said there had been a loss of trust: “The majority realise that the political situation is bad and getting worse which is
leading to apathy at election time.” He said this lower participation diminished the quality of democracy. Other factors included corruption and a lack of independence in institutions such as the Constitutional Court and the figure of the Ombudsman (Defensor del Pueblo) which
he said were being taken over by the political parties: “The parties are colonising them, blocking or delaying the appointment of their members which undermines both their prestige and people’s trust in them.”

Catalan independence vote a flop The latest round of voting on independence from Spain which was held on Sunday in Tarragona and five other Catalan municipalities brought out the lowest number of voters – 6.5% - since the proindependence parties began to organise this unofficial referendum. In four rounds held over the
past few months, voting figures ranged from 14% to 18% and even the controversial former leader of the Catalan Republican Left, Josep Lluis Carod Rovira has admitted that the consultation had little relevance. However, he called on Catalans to demand a
binding referendum in 2014, when the region will celebrate the 300th anniversary of the fall of Barcelona to Spain’s King Felipe V, who put an end to the region’s special status as part of what had once been the Kingdom of Aragon.

Last ‘rose’ dies Mari Carmen Cuesta, who narrowly escaped becoming one of the so-called “13 roses”, has died in Valencia aged 87. At the age of 16, she was arrested in Madrid in 1939 together with other girls for belonging to the banned Unified Socialist Youth (JSU) and sent to the infamous Ventas women’s jail. On August 5th that year, 13 of the girls – three of whom were under-age – were taken to Madrid’s Cementerio del Este and shot. They became known as the 13 roses and the film of the same name was a box office success in 2006. In fact, there were really 14
girls. One of them, Antonia Torres, escaped execution that day because of an error in her police file. However, the mistake was discovered and she was executed in February 1940. Mari Carmen was sentenced to 12 years in jail. On her release, she was not allowed to live in within 350 kilometres of Madrid, where she was born, and went with her older sister Angelita to Valencia. Angelita, who is 91, continues the sisters’
search for the remains of their father, who was shot along with 17 other Republican prisoners during the Civil War.

While Spaniards enjoy a high level of freedom of expression, their access to government information is poor, according to the World Justice Project 2010 Rule of Law Index published last week. Spain came 10th for access to government information out of the eleven high-income countries in the Index and 15th out of the total of 35 countries studied for the Index last year. A spokesman for the project said this put Spain behind Poland and Colombia in this area. However, when all aspects of human rights were taken into account Spain came fifth, ahead of the United States and the majority of EU countries. By 2012, the Index will study between 70 to 100 countries, the spokesman said.

France endures sixth day of pension protests As France endures a sixth national day of strikes and protests over plans to reform the country's pension system, President Nicolas Sarkozy insisted he will press ahead with pension reforms, despite the growing strike movement. Speaking in Deauville at a summit with the leaders of Russia and Germany, he made a pledge to restore petrol supplies once he had returned to Paris. He said the pension reform had been put on hold for too long and could not be put on hold any longer. The government wants to raise the retirement age
from 60 to 62 and the full state pension age from 65 to 67. Left-wing senators have submitted hundreds amendments in an attempt to delay the vote, which is expected to go ahead on Thursday. The plans are widely unpopular with the public and protests on Monday turned violent in some
areas. More mass marches are planned across France while strikes disrupt air travel, trains and schools, and an ongoing refinery blockade hits oil supplies. One in four supermarket petrol stations are said to have run dry or are on the verge of closing. Oil company Exxon Mobil has
described the situation as "critical". Diesel supplies around Paris and western Nantes would be scarce, a spokeswoman said. Half of flights in and out of Paris's Orly airport have been cancelled and 30% of flights at other airports have been affected. Train operator SNCF said it expected 60% of trains to
run on Tuesday, with Metro and local trains around Paris also expected to keep some services running. Despite the disruption, one opinion poll on Monday suggested that 71% of those surveyed supported the strikers, despite the increasing effect on people's lives. Mr
Chechen attack leaves six dead
Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov said all the militants were dead. The attack began at the start of the working day, as
deputies were arriving at parliament. The attackers stormed the building, exchanging fire with security guards, and two of them appeared to have detonated explosives just outside the building. A Chechen police spokesman told reporters that attackers had run inside the building,
shouting "Allahu Akbar" Arabic for "God is great" before opening fire on people inside. A spokesman for the Chechen parliament said deputies had feared they would be taken hostage when they heard shooting outside the building. Reports said some hostages
were briefly held but have now been freed. It is still unknown how such a small group of armed men penetrated the usually heavily fortified government building. The city has been sealed off and armoured vehicles were patrolling the streets. There has been no
confirmation of the identity of the attackers. Last year Moscow declared victory against Chechen separatists and there had been a relative lull in the violence under President Kadyrov, the Moscowbacked strongman, but observers said the incident is a reminder that the region is far from stable.
Ethiopia 'used aid to bribe voters' A Human Rights Watch report has accused Ethiopia's government of denying foreign aid to opposition supporters and has urged donors to make sure their aid money was distributed transparently. Ethiopia is one of the world's largest recipients of development aid - in 2008 international donations to the country totalled ÂŁ1.8 billion. Human Rights Watch said its findings are based on a six-month investigation during which it talked to about 200 people in 53 villages in 26 districts in three regions of Ethiopia last
year. A spokesman said it had found systematic discrimination from one end of the country to another against people who were members of the opposition party or people who disagreed with the regime. He said villagers, who are often subsistence farmers, were rejected for
micro-credit loans, seeds, fertiliser, food aid, and housing if they were a member of an opposition party. He said efforts to confirm the stories of discrimination with regional officials, civil society, opposition leaders and journalists had revealed that this was how things commonly operated.
The head of the French Petrol Industries Association, Jean-Louis Schilansky, has said fuel shortages are not yet at crisis point.
Ariel Sharon coma sculpture on show
At least six people were killed and 10 others injured as attackers stormed parliament in Grozny, the capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, on Monday. Two security personnel and a civilian worker died, along with at least three attackers, two of whom are thought to have blown themselves up.
Sarkozy has ordered key ministers to form a crisis cabinet with the role of ensuring the continuity of fuel supplies.
In May, Ethiopia's governing party trounced the opposition in elections only one opposition MP was elected in the 536-seat parliament. In contrast, the opposition won more than 170 seats and swept the board in the capital, Addis Ababa in the previous election, in 2005. Nearly 200 opposition supporters and
several policemen were killed and a comprehensive crackdown on the opposition followed, with politicians and supporters jailed. The muzzling of the opposition is considered to have been a major factor behind the governing party's sweep to victory in May.
A life-size animated sculpture of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will be unveiled at a gallery in Tel Aviv on Thursday. The installation, by Israeli artist Noam Braslavsky, shows Mr Sharon lying in a bed wearing pyjamas and connected to a drip. His eyes are open and his chest rises and falls as he audibly "breathes" in and out. Curators said the installation was an allegory for the "inertia of Israeli politics". Mr Sharon, 82, who was one of Israel's most influential leaders, has never recovered from a stroke he suffered in 2006. He was elected prime minister in 2001, pledging to achieve "security and true peace". However, despite fierce opposition in Israel, he ordered Jewish settlers to leave Gaza and four settlements in the West Bank. Mr Braslavsky defended the controversial artwork by saying Mr Sharon was not "just a private person" and still had a huge influence over everyone in Israel.

Troops and police in record drugs bust Mexican security forces have seized 105 tonnes of marijuana in a series of raids by heavily armed troops and police on homes in the city of Tijuana, on the border with the US. It has a street value of at least $340 million, and is the biggest such haul in the country in years. The drugs, found in houses and vehicles, were wrapped in differently coloured packages that had markings and pictures on them, including the cartoon character Homer Simpson.
the packages were still being counted and weighed and the amount could increase. The marijuana would be incinerated once all packages had been registered, he added.
marijuana have been confiscated in the state of Baja California, where Tijuana is located. More than 28,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since 2006.

Genital slip of the tongue is web hit

A competition in South Africa to find new ways to use the vuvuzela has just ended. More than 200 ideas were submitted and include turning them into chandeliers, lamp shades, bird food dispensers and table stands.
Competition organiser Jono Swanepoel will announce the winning design later this month. He said all the designs will be handed over to local manufacturers, who will receive all the proceeds from the sale of the newlook vuvuzela. The plastic horn caught the world's attention – not always pleasantly - during this

sounded like a swarm of bees and drowned out traditional football chants, and several English premiership clubs have banned them from their grounds.

Saudi Prince guilty Nicked! Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud was found guilty yesterday at the Old Bailey of murdering 32-year-old Bandar Abdulaziz, whom he treated like his slave, in a "brutal" assault at their five-star London hotel suite on February 15th . The jury took just 35 minutes to come to their decision.
A recent report on shoplifting in the UK has shown that around £4.4 billion is being stolen every year.
Bandar Abdulaziz
Jurors heard that Bandar Abdulaziz had been left so broken down by previous attacks that “he simply let the prince kill him without a fight”. Saud claimed that he had awoken to find Bandar unconcious following an alleged mugging and was unable to rouse him but investigators became suspicious of his claims after seeing him on CCTV attacking the man in a lift during a previous altercation. The 34-year-old prince, a member of one of the world's richest and most powerful families, spent hours trying to conceal his crime and, when arrested, mistakenly believed he had diplomatic immunity. He was known to treat Bandar as his personal slave and had been attacking him “for his own personal
gratification and sadistic pleasure”. The prince's legal team had been trying to cover up his homosexuality as, if he ever returns to his home country he faces execution because being gay is a Capital offence there. The jury were told that he was fuelled by champagne and "sex on the beach" cocktails when he bit the 32-year-old hard on both cheeks during the attack in February. The prince was convicted of both murder and a second count of grievous bodily harm with intent relating to the attack in the lift.
This means that the average UK householder is having to fork out an extra £180 a year to cover the cost of the goods being stolen. The Europe-wide survey also found that at least a third of thefts were carried out by the shops own staff and that the worst offenders across Europe were the British. However, the survey showed that the amount of theft had diminished by 5.8% over the previous 12 months. Shops spent over £970m on increasing security to try and halt the trend.
Saud showed no reaction as the decision was announced. He was remanded in custody to be sentenced on Wednesday. advertising feature

Wills Cat-in-the-bin wants woman fined to serve Prince William would like to be able to use his military training in Afghanistan, he reveals in a TV programme tonight. William says that he has come to terms with the fact that his public and private life are reported on constantly, saying that “it’s part of the job”. However, he says that he does not agree with not being allowed to fight with his unit in Afghanistan as his brother did. William says that he can see some of the reasons for this, but would be ready to challenge them. Interviewer Ben Fogle spent time with the young Princes visiting the many charitable trusts they are involved with in Africa. The interview is on Sky 1. Channel 4 is also airing tonight the controversial docu-drama about what would have happened if Harry had been taken hostage in Afghanistan.
British girl dies in holiday pool A six-year-old British girl, Megan Thrower, from King's Lynn in Norfolk, has drowned in a hotel swimming pool accident on the Spanish holiday island of Gran Canaria. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of the death of a British national in Playa del Ingles, Gran Canaria, on October 17th. We are offering consular assistance to the family." The girl apparently got into difficulties in the pool at around mid-day and was pulled from the water by a waiter and the hotel is refusing to say whether a lifeguard was on duty at the time of the incident. Emergency services were called but were unable to save the little girl. The 434 room hotel, Gran Canaria Princess, in the south of the island is a well known family destination. Spanish police are investigating the incident.
Mary Bale, 45, from Coventry, who was caught on CCTV dumping a cat in a wheelie bin,was yesterday (Tuesday) fined £250 for causing unnecessary suffering to the animal. The bank worker, who has now resigned from her job with The Royal Bank of Scotland, became a global hate figure after the CCTV clip was posted on YouTube and she received death
threats. Lola, the four-year-old tabby cat, was trapped for 15 hours before her owners found her after studying the tape. The RSPCA investigated the case and Bale, from St Michael’s Road, Coventry, admitted the charge when she appeared at Coventry Magistrates Court. She was also ordered to pay court costs of £1,171.
7/7 inquest continues The inquest into the events surrounding the 7/7 Aldgate bomb attack by terrorists in 2005 has continued with survivors telling the court that it took far too long for the emergency services to reach people hurt in the tunnels, saying that people may have died due to the lack of urgent medical help.

Spies receive top Kremlin honours Moscow: President Dmitry Medvedev has handed top state honours to ten Russian spies deported from the US earlier this year, according to Russia's Interfax news agency which was quoting a presidential spokeswoman. She said the spies, who had admitted in a US court to being agents for a foreign country, had received the awards at a ceremony in the Kremlin. Moscow agreed to exchange four US spies for the Russian agents and the swap was carried out in Vienna in July. HAITI

Malaga's best produce goes abroad
Workers spoil Plaza’s re-opening
In many French restaurants, honey from Malaga accompanies the most exquisite local cheese, while Germans and Swedes rave about the delicious avocados – from the Axarquia.
Dozens of public sector workers turned the inauguration of Seville’s restored Plaza de España into a protest against the Junta de Andalucia’s budget cuts, spoiling the day for hundreds of people who had started to congregate in the square in the early hours of Saturday morning to witness the ceremony. Former premier Manuel Chaves and Seville City Mayor Alfredo Sanchez Monteseirin were whistled and booed at, even though they had nothing to do with the Junta’s cuts. However, Sr Chavez is currently the third deputy prime minister in charge of relations between the
central government and the regions and was representing the Socialist government at the ceremony. The Plaza de España was built in 1928 to mark the Ibero-American World Fair held in Seville in 1929 and is a landmark example
of the Moorish revival in Spanish architecture. It is located in the Parque de Maria Luis which was turned into a ‘Moorish paradise’ for the Fair with half a mile of tiled fountains, pavilions, walls, ponds and benches, lush areas of palms, orange trees, Mediterranean
pines, flower beds and bowers hidden by vines. The Plaza de España complex itself is a huge half-circle with buildings running around the edge of the park, accessed over the moat across several beautiful bridges. There are tiled alcoves in the walls of the Plaza
representing the different provinces of Spain. Today the Plaza de España mainly consists of government buildings. It was used as a location to shoot scenes for Lawrence of Arabia and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.
Sixth Fleet hope for Cadiz Ambassador Solomont accompanied Cadiz mayor Teofila Martinex to lay a wreath at the monument which commemorates the Cortes (Parliament) of Cadiz. The Parliament had moved to the city after Napoleon’s army invaded Madrid, where it produced
The emergency medical services have attended to 141 people involved in attacks with knives and guns so far this year, in comparison with a total of 102 similar cases for the whole of last year. In the last two weeks alone,
five people have been injured and 13 arrested in stabbing incidents. According to the Local Police, 2009 was a particularly violent year when 32 people were arrested for knife attacks in Malaga city, double the
number for 2008 and triple the number for 2007. They said the people involved in such incidents were young men under the age of 30, all took place in the street and, on investigation, turned out to be minor squabbles over matters of no importance.
More than 90% of the asparagus for which Antequera is famous goes to Europe, while the locals eat Peruvian or Chinese asparagus. Even the goats' milk travels abroad, mainly to France where it is made into an exquisite “French” cheese.
However, people who want the real local products can always find them at the ecological markets which are becoming so popular.
Junta ordered to pay costs
Spain’s first constitution in 1812, while Ferdinand VII was in exile. On his return at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, he overturned the constitution, which used the word “liberal” in a political sense for the first time.
Knife and gun attacks on the rise
Ronda wines can be found in gourmet shops in all the European capitals and Malaga's olive oil travels round the world – usually in bottles carrying an Italian label.
The people of Malaga do get to eat their own chestnuts at this time of the year when the season is in full swing, but the rest of the year they are eating Chinese imports.
The visit by US ambassador Alan Solomont to three factories in the Bay of Cadiz which belong to the city’s Navantia shipyard has raised hopes that the Sixth Fleet, currently based in Naples, will use the yards for repairs. The company invited the ambassador as a follow up to the recent repair of the frigate USS John L Half at the yards, which the Americans said had been “very satisfactory”. After visiting the naval installations at San Fernando and Puerto Real,

Big US contract for local company The Malaga solar company Isofoton has been awarded a contract to supply solar panels for the Turning Point Solar project to be built in Ohio. At the official ceremony held to launch the project last week, Ohio governor Ted Strickland said it would be the biggest solar project in the US. Isofoton will begin building
a factory in Ohio next year to make the panels locally and cut production costs. Isofoton, which was bought by Affirma Toptech recently, will maintain its innovation and technological nucleus in Malaga, while building factories overseas in its efforts to be the top solar company on the international scene.
A Malaga judge has ordered the Junta de Andalucia to pay compensation of €228,962 to the family of 17year-old Salvador Cortes who was knifed to death in February in a Fuengirola park. The 16-year-old Moroccan youth who committed the crime had been in the care of the Junta since he abandoned his family in Morocco and entered Spain illegally when he was 9 years old. Just days before the crime, a Malaga court had placed him in the care of an aunt and uncle but the judge ruled that this did not release the Junta from its responsibility for the youth.

Storm in a Bay It was confirmed on Monday that Foreign Secretary William Hague has raised the recent incidents in Gibraltar's territorial waters with his Spanish counterpart Miguel Angel Moratinos and that the trilateral talks are back on track. The latest glitch in relations arose last week, when Gibraltar’s First Minister Peter Caruana seemed to be heading for a showdown, challenging Spain to take the question of the Rock's water to the European Court. He also said he would not be attending any more trilateral talks. The Spanish government pointed out that Spain does not recognise Gibraltar’s right to a threemile limit, and then seemed to let the matter
drop. Mr Caruana, who was in London to attend the celebration of Gibraltar Day in the Great Hall of the Guildhall in the City of London, told a crowd of 1,000, many of them Gibraltarians: “Our sovereignty and exclusive jurisdiction of the land, air and sea of Gibraltar is not on the table as a bargaining chip.” His remark provoked a huge blast of applause.

attended, stressed that the UK's coalition government would continue to exert diplomatic pressure to resolve the waters row, and would take a tougher line than past Labour governments. He said he wanted to make one thing quite clear – there would be no backstairs deals or secret negotiations. He said Gibraltar would remain British just as long as the Gibraltarians wanted it to be.
Ruling could lead to cuts Guardia make drug arrests Members of the Guardia Civil's Provincial Maritime Service and agents from the Ayamonte Fiscal Patrols arrested three men on the beach at Isla Cristina as they were trying to unload 44 bales of hashish from a boat early on Saturday morning. They also seized another 22 bales found in an Opel Astra car parked near the beach, bringing the total haul to more than 1,800
kilos. The driver of the car managed to escape when he saw the Guardia approaching. Meanwhile an agent belonging to the Guardia Civil's Anti-Organised Crime and Delinquency team in Malaga was arrested last week when he was caught driving a private car loaded with unspecified drugs. His arrest was not made public until the end of the week.
A Seville judge has ordered the BBVA, Cajamar and Caixa Galicia to drop a small-print clause (clausula de suelo in Spanish) that puts a minimum limit on the Euribor index – in some cases as high as 3.5%.

On a closer look at the small print in their contracts they spotted the minimum limit.The ruling should lead to cuts for those with mortgages from the banks named . Judge Miguel Angel Navarro also ordered all financial entities to refrain from including such clauses in future contracts.

Commission to visit Connery in Bahamas Former Bond actor Sir Sean Connery now faces having to answer questions on corruption at his home in the Bahamas. Judge Ricardo Puyol had threatened legal consequences if Connery and his wife did not
appear before the court hearing the “Goldfinger” case in Marbella last Friday. He will now send a commission to the Bahamas to take their statements about an alleged tax fraud of €2.7 million.
The case revolves round the sale of Connery’s beachside villa. In a letter, Connery sent his excuses saying he was too old – he is now 80 - to prepare for such a long journey at such short notice.
Malaga leads AVE research The Junta de Andalucia's innovation and science department has signed an agreement with the Railway Infrastructures Administrator (Adif) to set up the Railway Technologies Centre (CTF)
which will make Malaga the European centre of high speed research by the end of this year. The centre will work out of two advanced technologies laboratories
in the Technological Park of Andalucia in Malaga, and Adif will invest nearly €7 million in the construction of research and experiment laboratories near Bobadilla railway station.
Novel way to deliver drugs The Guardia Civil and National Police have discovered a novel way of getting drugs into the Acebuche jail in Almeria – in tennis balls thrown from the car park into the prisoners' exercise yards. No arrests have been
made yet but the trees that the throwers hid behind have been cut down. They also threw mobile phones over the walls. The action took place as the prisoners queued up for the meals when the guards were busy supervising them. The prisoners would
then collect the “missiles” later. The discovery was one of the first results of a pilot programme to prevent the introduction and traffic of drugs in Spanish jails which was implemented in the Almeria jail a few weeks ago.

much loved by the residents of Alhaurin who revered him and he in turn bequeathed his own works, vast collection of books, photographs and personal items to the municipality, now all on display. Foreign residents
registered with the Town Hall (Padron) can apply for membership. For visits and further information call 952 595 599. COFFEE MORNINGS U3A Marbella-Inland is holding the first of its

The other two albums are in the Royal Palace and the National Library in Madrid. The commemorative arches which were built in most of the towns the Queen visited today serve as entrances to feria grounds. Clifford was born in London in 1821 and died in

Woods for cities project The town is one of eight that the Junta de Andalucia has chosen to participate in the pilot project “Bosques por ciudades” (Woods for cities) as part of the region’s fight against climate change.

The other towns are Pulpí (Almería), Vejer de la Frontera (Cádiz), La Carlota (Córdoba), Ogíjares (Granada), El Viso del Alcor (Sevilla), Villacarrillo (Jaén) and Punta Umbría (Huelva).

The Socialist Party is urging the Town Hall to consider converting a plot of land near the Costa del Sol hospital into a car park as a way out of the controversy over the charges at its recently opened car park. The party’s general secretary in Marbella, Jose Bernal, said the 12,000 m2 plot was ideal: it is located near the hospital, it is flat and classified as suitable for building and is just a few metres away from the N-340.
The representatives of the provincial institution recently held a meeting in the Ayuntamiento de Pizarra with the mayors of the municipalities of the region to inform them of the current status of investments and those planned for future dates. Among them was the mayor of Álora, José Sánchez, accompanied by First Deputy Mayor and Councillor of Finance, Jose Aguilar. According to the chairman of the council, "this meeting is part of a series of contacts that are being developed to show the support of the Diputacion to the mayors of the municipalities and the interest of the provincial institution in
attending to the needs of the citizens".

As reported by the deputy of Local Development and Road Networks, Cristóbal Guerrero, the Diputatión of Málaga, mainly through the provincial plans for Works and Services, is undertaking 53 works with an investment of €9 million. Of the total, 49 are building works in municipalities and 4 are for roads.
The delegation has also put aside €24.5 million for specific projects in the province. Of this total, €10.2 million will go to municipalities in the Guadalhorce Valley, in particular, with an investment of €7.2 million for the Hospital Valle del Guadalhorce in Cártama, and investments of more than one million euros for theatres in Cártama, Alhaurín el Grande and Coin.
These include the third stage of revitalising the District Torrealquería in Alhaurín de la Torre; the construction of the Casa de la Cultura, in the Barrio of El Puente, Álora; the construction of a multipurpose building at Estacion de Cártama, and the remodelling and reconditioning of the central streets of Coin.

A long time in politics
The media’s victims
I S
r Zapatero has been walking on air since he clinched the vital support of the Basque Nationalist Party for next year's budget so he was almost crowing on Sunday when he told a Socialist Party rally that Mariano Rajoy should start preparing himself for another four years in opposition. He said if the 18 months between now and the next election seemed like a long time, another four years in opposition was going to seem like eternity. He has apparently forgotten that even two weeks is a long time in politics (Harold Wilson) or that you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch (old adage). He also has a very short memory. Just a few days before he strutted his stuff on Sunday, he was staring the unpleasant prospect of an early election in the face. But he bent over backwards and gave the Basque Nationalist Party all the concessions they demanded in exchange for their support – stabbing Socialist lehendakari Patxi Lopez in the back in the process.
L
opez is now in the ridiculous position of being the Basque regional premier in name only while the main opposition party basks in the glory of wresting every concession the Basques ever wanted from his fellow Socialist prime minister.
A
nd the Basque Nationalist Party should look back a few years, to when Zapatero promised the sun, moon and stars to Artur Mas – the Convergencia y Union leader who won the most votes in the last Catalan regional election, then stood back and watched helplessly as Zapatero's Socialist buddy, José Montilla, formed a government with two radically anti-Spanish Catalan nationalist parties.
B
ut what goes around comes around, and Artur Mas is set to win the most votes in the next Catalan regional election on November 28th. Zapatero can bet his bottom euro that Mas will form an alliance with the devil - in this case, the Partido Popular – rather than let the Socialists snatch the election from under his nose again.

n the other hand, Zapatero's position is still too precarious so he just might make good on his promises to the Basques, because he desperately needs a few good friends. Even if the Socialists win the Catalan election, Zapatero still has to survive next May's other regional and local elections.
W
hat few people realise is that last time around – in May 2007 – the Partido Popular won more votes
overall than the Socialists did. But thanks to a weird election law that allows minority parties to get together to form a government, the PP looked like the loser as the Communist-dominated Izquierda Unida (United Left) eagerly jumped into bed with the Socialists to get their hands on a little bit of power. We even had the ridiculous situation where the IU joined with two Falangist councillors – their mortal enemies during the Civil War – to snatch power from the PP.
Z
apatero's worst nightmare – after losing Catalonia – would be to lose Andalucia. It seems unthinkable, because Andalucia has been solidly Socialist since it became a decentralised region 29 years ago. And it was always a hotbed of revolutionaries – Anarchists, Socialists and Communists – during the decades leading up to the Civil War. But times change, and so do people. It looks as if the Socialists will hang onto the small villages populated by older people who remember the bad old days – which were really bad. But all those young people who've flocked to the nearest large towns can't remember a time when there was no social security, or local health centres, or schools, or pensions, so it looks as if the bigger towns and cities across Andalucia are heading into the PP's arms – if the polls are anything to go by. Of course, Zapatero poohpoohs the poles when they're against him, but quotes them reverently when they're for him.
Z
apatero tries to come across as a sensitive, caring man but he really seems to have feet of clay when it comes to politics. He backed the wrong person in the primary for the Socialist candidate for Madrid premier in next year's regional election when it would have been wiser to keep his mouth shut. Tomas Gomez, the man he didn't back, is now going around saying that all prime ministers should step down after two terms in power – as José Maria Aznar did. Not bad advice, when you think back to Spain's first Socialist prime minister after the dictatorship. Felipe Gonzalez was in power for 14 years, the first few of which were glorious but in the end he was brought down by the corruption and cynicism of the people closest to him. It he'd gone even four years earlier, he would have avoided the wasteland he lived in for many years after leaving power. He may not be a good judge of people but he's the only genuine thinker the Socialist Party has right now. His name may yet be added to a growing list of possible successors to Zapatero.
t was one of those coincidences that make you wonder whether certain episodes in life have more of a purpose than we tend to think. On October 12th, Antonio Puerta, a 46-yearold who for the past two years had been the centre of an intense media inquest after he slugged a university professor for trying to get involved in a lover’s spat between him and his girlfriend, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in a friend’s apartment. His death occurred two years to the day the professor, Jesús Neira, woke up from a three-month coma he had been in following Puerta’s punch. Two days after Puerta’s death, Neira, who had been in reportedly good health, suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and, as we go to press, is in serious condition. The media – especially the sensational television gossip shows – were responsible for incessantly fuelling the antagonism between these two men by capitalising on a violent incident and the volatile personalities of two of the three people involved in the dispute.
P
uerta had become an overnight famous figure without wanting it. While he was sitting in jail, his girlfriend Violeta Santander, 34, and Neira, 57, fought it out publicly over what exactly occurred on August 2nd, 2008. The professor insists that he tried to break up a scuffle between Puerta and Santander outside a hotel in the Madrid suburb of Majadahonda while Santander says that Neira began insulting them calling them “cockroaches” and other names. She maintains that Puerta wasn’t hitting her as Neira claimed.
A
s the professor walked inside the hotel, Puerta came from behind and threw a powerful punch which knocked Neira cold. The episode was captured by a hotel security camera; what wasn’t videotaped was the incident leading up to the blow. A few days after the episode, Neira fell into a coma at the hospital. Some medical experts have speculated that Puerta wasn’t responsible for putting his victim in a coma but instead it was the lack of adequate attention at the Madrid regional hospitals. This was going to be part of the defence at his attempted manslaughter trial, but Puerta would never be able to present it. His long-time drug addiction apparently caught up with him.
B
y most accounts, Puerta was “a good man” with a lot of friends who wanted to help him. “He was a vulnerable person who needed help,” Santander told “Interviu” magazine in 2008. He had been in and out of drug rehabilitation centres and, on the day before his altercation with Neira, he had voluntarily checked himself out of one. “I don’t know why they allowed it,” Santander said. “He spent the night drinking and taking drugs — mostly cocaine.”
Jesus Neira
A
s the girlfriend and Neira battled it out on the late night talk show circuit, Puerta never publicly spoke about the incident – only to say that he was sorry that it occurred. During one court hearing, Puerta told the judge that he felt his rights were being violated by all the attention the media was giving the case. After serving 18 months in preventive custody, he was released in February on bail. “It was the time he spent in jail that finally did him in,” his lawyer Fernando Pamós said last Wednesday.
N
eira has also been under intense scrutiny. When he finally woke up from a three-month coma, the professor was showered with honours for his chivalry. The biggest prize he received was an appointment to head the Madrid regional government’s anti-gender violence unit – a controversial move made by premier Esperanza Aguirre who was accused of “buying off” Neira so he wouldn’t sue the region for malpractice. As he served in his public post, Neira stepped up his verbal attacks not only on Puerta and Santander, but also on Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and other Socialists leaders, like Tomás Gómez, the party’s candidate in next year’s regional premier race, who he described as an “idiot,” “stupid,” “riffraff,” “impotent,” and “a clown.” He wrote a book España sin democracia (“Spain without Democracy”)in which he made a scornful attack on the period of transition from dictatorship to democracy in the late seventies and early eighties – an era that is held in high esteem by many Spaniards. With his mouth running at full speed, women’s and tolerance groups called for his resignation. It all came crashing down in September when he was picked up for drink driving. When Neira refused to bow to calls to step down, Aguirre stepped in and abolished the unit.

Andrew Carless I have been meaning to write for a week or so to ask you not to change your policy on the provision of answers to your crosswords because what you do is perfect. Some of us try to do cryptic crosswords to stop our brains getting too rusty but sometimes we need a bit of help, and waiting for a week for the answers is too long. Putting them on the same page is best because one can
then cut out the crossword and its answer together so easily. Putting the answers upside down in columns is the ideal way of doing it, for one can easily track down the numbers until one reaches the clue and then read it upside down. To read upside down you have to concentrate so much that your eye won't pick up the answer to the next clue - which you don't want to

Bank: Be aware when going to bank and withdraw money as the thieves are watching you, following you to a point away from the bank and security cameras, then distracting you once again whilst they relieve you of your wallet or bag.
Car: The dual system of distraction: one asks you for directions at your car while another relieves you of your bag on the passenger seat. This is an organised crime and more often than not more than one person is involved. One distracts you and the waiting thieves take action. If possible, always have someone with you, simply watching whilst the other person loads.

Internet television - it is the future The phenomenon that is sweeping the world is internet TV. It gives you all your favourite programmes from back home, and it allows TV channels to be accessed anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and a laptop or desktop computeronce considered luxuries but now as common as kettles and toasters. It’s rapidly becoming the future of entertainment viewing. Traditional television broadcasts have several limitations. They require an aerial or a satellite dish on the roof. Aerials need to be in direct line of sight of the transmitter which is on the ground. If it’s over the hill, behind a building or you live in a valley then you’re in trouble. With satellites unless you are directly under the satellite’s zone, dishes have to be very large. They’re sensitive to rain because the signal does not go through clouds very well. Also whenever there is a storm countless people are faced with the additional cost of getting their dish re aligned as it effectively acts as a sail and ends up facing the direction the wind chooses and not

Escape velocity Sir Issac Newton told us why an apple falls down from the sky. And from this fact it is very plain that all other objects do the same. A brick, a bolt, a bar,or a cup invariably fall down, not up. If you throw something up into the air it obviously falls back again because of the Earth’s gravity pulling on it. If you throw it harder and faster it will go higher but will still fall back. Now, if you threw it very, very fast then it would be travelling so quickly that gravity could not hold onto it and it would fly into space and not come back at all. This speed is called the escape velocity and rockets wishing to get into space must achieve this speed or they’ll just fall back to Earth. It is an incredible 11km per second or about 25,000 mph! Different planets and stars because of their individual sizes have different escape velocities. Because the Moon is so much smaller than the Earth you need to travel at ‘only’ 2.4km per second, but to escape from Jupiter, the biggest planet, then you would have to reach almost 66km per second or 150,000 mph. The Sun, because of its huge size, has the most gravity so its escape velocity is 618km per second, which is over 1 million miles per hour.
pointing at the satellite. If it happens on a Friday night the thing can be out all weekend until an engineer is available on the Monday. Other issues are you don’t always get programmes in your language. If you want to brush up on your Spanish, fine but sometimes you just want to see the news and then your favourite soap. The beauty of internet TV is it’s always on, wherever you are, giving you the choice of what you watch.If you’re travelling you won’t miss a thing. At home you can even plug it into your normal TV and see it in
your living room. The choice of channels is getting bigger by the day so for ex pats in Spain it’s as good as being at home. Getting internet TV is as simple as a phone call. In most cases you don’t even need an engineer to visit as it can be downloaded and set up over the internet in seconds. It's the future and it's here now. If you have questions or need any help drop a line to television@marbella-web.com or call 952 813 431 and ask for Shirley, who has all the answers.
Some stars have so much gravity that you would have to travel faster than the speed of light which is 186,000 miles in 1 second. There are some mysterious stars that really do have this much gravity and so nothing, not even light, can escape from them - they are called black holes. The gravity on these black holes is so intense that the star collapses into itself and then begins to draw in any neighbouring stars, making the black hole bigger and stronger. When satellites and rockets are in orbit around the Earth they are travelling at around 17,000 mph. At this speed they don’t escape from the Earth but are constantly falling back towards the horizon which is always moving away from them so they never reach it, as the Earth is round and the gravity is evenly spread then they remain in a constant freefall orbit circling the globe.
Television satellites have to remain in the same place in relation to you otherwise you would have to constantly realign your satellite dish to receive the pictures. These geostationary satellites are much further out in space and they orbit the Earth at the same speed as the Earth is turning, keeping them permanently in line with your dish.

Beware frauds Every year unscrupulous calling persons themselves behaviourists, animal pet consultants, advisers, trainers, etc are fleecing thousands of dog owners throughout the world. There are a number of genuine people who provide a really good service but there are many more that do not. SOME SIMPLE RULES 1. During the initial phone inquiry obtain details of all costs you are likely to incur. 2. Find out all you can about the particular before organisation making any form of commitment. 3. Read advertisements carefully. No way in the world can you be sure of "Immediate results with a lifetime of the dog guarantee". 4. Ask to see the dogs owned by the person who will be helping you. Just because someone has a Border Collie or German Shepherd that will walk beside him/her like a zombie is no proof that they can help you Beardie, your with Terrier or Jack Russell chases the which postman or barks at next door's cat. Someone with a fat and lazy Cavalier King Charles not will Spaniel necessarily be able to your stop help Rottweiler lunging at everything in sight. 5. Be especially wary of
anyone who wants to take the dog away from you to train, even if only out of sight for a few moments. Professional trainers do not take dogs away for training. 6. Watch out for the person who gets very in scores high obedience trials and claims to be able to cure all basic behaviour problems. 7. Never go to a trainer for novice/open/utility run-through who has not trialled a dog in the last year or two. There are some that are still trading on past glories of many years ago. 8. No matter what problem you have with your dog always try to shop around a bit. It may take a few days longer to find someone you are really happy with but that could also make ten years difference to the life of your dog! 9. Modern up to date trainers do not use choke or check chains and certainly not pinch collars. All members are sign to required contracts that they will not use this equipment. I could write much more on this subject but what I really want to do is turn dog owners away from the incompetent and unscrupulous moneygrabbers. If you find a really good trainer/behaviourist tell the world, and the same applies if you find one that is not so good.

Help for running Charity performance communities success for ITS written by Annabel Milnes-Smith
Ali Parandeh, founder of IT company Urbytus, has announced a series of presentations for administrators and presidents of communities How many times as a President or the Administrator have you been accused of things or owners have complained that they haven t got a clue of what s going on in their community or where their community fees are going?

Captain of almeria
e Final Cut
FolloWiNg oN the NeW seRies oF stoRies WRitteN by P tate
What is the Captain’s plan? Will Nicholas’ fears be realised or will Rodrigo find the strength to win the duel? Read on to find out more! Rodrigo knew that he had to end the duel quickly; he did not wish to kill this foolish young man unless he had to, he might be able to turn Carlos’ own aggression to his favour. He could feel the side of his face throbbing and as he approached Carlos a mocking smirk came to the young man’s face. ‘Now maybe you will fight,’ laughed Carlos. Rodrigo did not answer as he returned the young man’s look, but moved his head slightly to gauge his failing vision from the right eye. Carlos misinterpreted the head movement, thinking again that Rodrigo was silently mocking him. The smile left his face as it blackened with fury. ‘En garde.’ ‘Engage.’
Again the blades of the swords flew, filling the clearing with their metallic song. Carlos also wished to end the duel quickly though with a different, fatal outcome. He increased his efforts, always attacking, forcing Rodrigo back. Until, again, Rodrigo stumbled. Carlos gave a short cry of victory and lunged in viciously, to complete his success. But in his rage and smug confidence of success Carlos failed to see that Rodrigo’s guard was not down. It happened quickly. As Carlos’ blade flashed in, Rodrigo parried, stepping into the lunge. He gripped the elbow of the young man’s sword arm with his free hand. He placed the hilt of his sword onto Carlos’ hip. Rodrigo then turned on his heel, whipping the sword back. The edge of the blade
traced a diagonal line down from the hip across Carlos’ buttock as the youth stepped through his ill fated lunge. For a brief moment nothing happened. Then the line traced along the buttock of Carlos’ tight breeches burst open. It spurted blood and revealing the gaping wound that had been cut into the flesh by the keen edge of Rodrigo’s blade. Carlos gave another cry, but this time it was one of agony. He fell to the ground dropping his sword, reaching back to grasp at the wound with his fingers. There was another brief lull until the Count called ’Hold’ upon which the Doctor and Carlos’ second rushed to the side of the wounded man. Rodrigo walked back towards Nicholas whose face now displayed a beaming smile.
’There Nicholas, nothing to worry about,’ smiled Rodrigo as he handed over the sword. Nicholas saw that blood and fatty tissue adhered to the blade and wiped it with a cloth. Rodrigo looked back to where Carlos lay and watched with his one good eye as the Doctor worked, ’Though I think I cut a bit deeper than I intended.’
prodded and packed the wound. They all stood aside as assistants arrived with a stretcher and proceeded to load the wounded young man on to it. The Count stood watching as the stretcher was carried across the lawn towards the White Governor’s Mansion followed by the Doctor and several others. The Count then looked towards Rodrigo, shook his head slightly and summoned him with a brief wave of that lace cuffed hand.
Nicholas chuckled with uncontrolled relief as he handed another glass of brandy to Rodrigo. They both watched as the Count walked to the scene around Carlos and spoke to the Doctor. They conversed, the Doctor gesticulating with both hands as he answered from where he knelt, beside Carlos’ prostate form. The Count nodded and then spoke to Carlos whose angry reply was cut short with another cry of pain as the Doctor
‘Well Captain Vivar, an end to the duel but not to the incident I’m afraid,’ said the Count sadly as Rodrigo approached him, ‘Carlos issued the challenge, he refuses an apology and the outcome of this duel I’m afraid will make him even more intent on satisfaction.’
’The cut will disable him for a while, I do not wish to kill him, my argument is with his thieving father,’ Rodrigo replied calmly. ’Yes, the poor man won’t be doing many things for while, ’the Count mused with what seemed like regret, ’Come Rodrigo … walk with me, I may have a solution to the problem … but you may not be happy with some of my …um, how shall we say … recommendations.’

ut not many people will know that it got its name from one of Andalucia's great dynastic families. Count Bernardo de Galvéz became governor general of Spanish North America and gave his name to Galveston in Texas after laying siege to the town during the American War of Independence in 1777.
T
he Galvéz family brought a period of splendour and prosperity to the small Andalucian village of
Macharaviaya in the 18th and 19th centuries and now the town is about to be put on the map once more through a new initiative of the Costa del Sol Tourist Board - which has included the Galvéz family crypt, in the village church, on a list special things to do on the tourist board's Facebook page.
T
he page is designed to woo visitors into the Andalucian hinterland to visit mysterious and different places - the eerie crypt behind the church of San Jacinto contains a fine collection of sombre alabaster family busts staring at each other in prayer. he single nave church contains altars decorated

village, still surrounded by slopes covered by almond and olive trees, began to prosper again and is now known as a refuge for artists.
B
ut the village still has a very 18th century feel to it and great care is taken to nurture the town and its cobbled streets to make sure that it reflects its golden age when it was known as "Little Madrid". The Galvéz family began with Don Jose Galvez y Gallardo - born in the village in 1729, he died in 1791. The family brought prosperity through their vineyards, and through a playing card factory - now converted into houses which had the monopoly for supplying cards to the Americas. Until production
T
he history of Macharaviaya is like so many other villages in the Axarquia region. The population dropped dramatically after the Moors were defeated in the reconquest before it enjoyed its golden age in the 18th century. Then it suffered terribly in the 19th century after the phylloxera pest devastated the region's vineyards and it was not until the 20th century when the
stopped in 1815 it used cardboard manufactured in Benalmadena and produced 30,000 decks each year. The family travelled far and wide. Matias was Viceroy of Mexico and his brother Miguel became the Spanish ambassador to Russia - while there he is reported to have introduced the Axarquia region's sweet moscatel wine
to Catherine The Great, who made it a feature of all her banquets, and before long it became popular throughout the royal courts of Europe.
T
he Galvéz line may have died out but the family is the very stuff of historical romance and their legacy lives on.

Set in the elegant and glamorous 1930s Black Coffee is Christie's only play (rather than book) to feature the detective Hercule Poirot. Following the theft of a valuable scientific formula, Sir Claud Amory, the miserly familial patriarch, assembles his family and staff after dinner to inform them of the theft. No-one has been allowed to leave the room since Sir Claud discovered the formula had gone missing. He informs them that he has sent for Hercule Poirot to assist him in finding the thief. However, when Poirot
Peter Brooks
and his assistant Hastings arrive they have more than theft to inveestigate - a murder has occurred. This intriguing murder mystery will have you guessing right to the last few minutes. Peter Brooks directs an excellent cast which includes Graham Cherry, Henrik Hagensen, Lynn

L
ast weekend, my mate Jack asked if we could watch Danny Dyer’s Costa Del Sol based film The Business. It has been a while since I’ve seen the film but it is a good story and everyone loves a story about loveable rogues. Don’t they? I mean you wouldn’t want them marrying your daughter but in a film they are cool.
MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR
Red BY ROBERT SCHWENTKE Starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren Well, we have already had one high octane outing for the more mature acting stars in the summer hit The Expendables, which had Bruce Willis in a cameo role. Now he takes centre stage in Red, a high octane blah blah... so nothing terribly new but you can expect a lot of fasten your seatbelts, we're in for a bumpy ride moments that's for sure in this actioner sprinkled with
comedy and romance. Red stands for Retired Extremely Dangerous. Frank (Willis), Joe (Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovitch) and Victoria (Mirren) used to be top CIA agents who have now settled for a quieter life. They may be retired but it seems they know too many secrets and that suddenly makes them the Agency's top targets as an assassination plan is put into action.
Frank narrowly escapes dying in a hail of bullets and brings together the old team who need to work together once more if they are to stay a step ahead of their pursuers to stay alive. To find out who is behind the assassination plot and put an end to it the team have to - of course - break into CIA headquarters where - guess what- they uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
Malkovitch puts in his paranoid turn to perfection and Helen Mirren comes up trumps as a game gal who is entirely at home with monster sized weaponry as she ruthlessly mows down the bad guys a far cry from her role in The Queen. Maybe not the most inventive of story lines but all the stars have a lot of fun in a pacy and witty outing.

Man of Steel returns
Dad's the word Rolling Stone Keith Richards has reportedly been cast in the up coming fourth Pirates of The Caribbean film. He starred in "At World's End" as Captain Jack Sparrow's father Captain Teague. franchise and in the latest instalment meets a woman from his past, played by Spanish Oscar winner Penelope Cruz. The movie will be released in 3D next May.
Director Zack Snyder has said he has no idea yet if the next cinema outing for Superman will be CInEMas showInG FIlMs In EnGlIsh filmed in 3D but it is under consideration. The last film in the franchise, Superman Returns, was a hit with critics but did not do as well as hoped at the box office. Warner Studios looked likely to drop Brandon Routh from the role of Man of Steel as a consequence, despite his remarkable similarity to Christopher Reeve, and a nuanced
performance that resonated well with Reeve fans. But the 31-year-old actor may yet get a chance to reprise his role - an online campaign has been launched by Superman fans demanding that the studio keep Routh in the role. The movie will be released in 2012.
ith Guy Ritchie’s 1998 masterpiece Lock Stock And Two Smoking Barrels already having prepared the ground for films where you can cheer for drug selling gangsters as the heroes of the plot, The Business took a step back in time to Thatcher’s Britain, to follow the story of a young ‘jack the lad’ who is gullible enough to be led yet but just about bright enough to keep his head above water.

he story starts as Frankie, played by Danny Dyer, skips away from England after he carries out a brutal attack against his mother’s abusive boyfriend. Offered the chance to act as a courier to Spain, Frankie arrives in the Costa Del Crime and is taken under the wing of East End gangster cum Spanish nightclub owner Charlie, played by the very dapper Tamer Hassan. Charlie and the rest of his gang of villains set up a marijuana smuggling business across the Straits of Gibraltar, using Moroccan children to bring boats across between passing Guardia Patrols. Things go wrong when Charlie and Frankie move into the more lucrative business of bringing cocaine into Spain through air-drops organised by Columbian gangsters. As the bales of coke land amongst the avocado and orange trees, the boys land themselves in trouble with the local mayor, who had previously turned a blind eye to the marijuana smuggling. Things turn out worse and worse for Charlie and Frankie as the money, cocaine and lifestyle divides the group and causes rifts that can only lead to inevitable bloodshed.
A
s Charlie and Frankie ride the last waves of success they fall into the trap of partaking in their own product and find themselves without money,
friends or resources and with the Guardia Civil waiting for them around every corner.
A
lthough the film had twice the budget of Lock Stock, it is not so polished and failed as a commercial success – not even covering production costs. I think this is because it’s so good at depicting the shoulder pads and shell suits of the time it look cheap and tacky. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the acting, although the early part of the film has a lot of colourful language all the more comic because of the characters that use it.
B
y the end, Frankie has learned a lot about dealing with gangsters and ends up double crossing, ducking and diving, before making off into the sunset with wads of cash and a new determination to be someone.
M
y favourite loveable rogue film has to be Twin Town. Made in 1997, it’s set in Swansea and follows two glue sniffing ‘twins’ played by real life brothers Rhys Ifans and LLyr Ifans. Everyone knows them for their reputation of stealing cars and petty crime but when their dad falls on an unofficial building job, the boys start chasing the building site manager (and local drug dealer) for compensation. They start a campaign of intimidation the builder and his henchman retaliate, and it causes the death of the twins’ father in a caravan fire. Now set on vengeance, the twins turn up the heat, letting an electric garage door strangle the builder, while honouring their father’s wish to be buried at sea to the sounds of a male voice choir. Unfortunately, the builder’s hit man is strapped to the coffin, giving the boys the final say on the tit for tat acts of revenge.
T
win Town is the perfect black comedy and the heroes of the day are the twins, even though they carry out the most horrific acts on their enemies. In the end, it was almost not their fault. If only the builder had paid out in the first place…

A sudden rush of desire fills your veins this week providing you with enough inspiration and enthusiasm to feel larger than life. There is no obstacle that you won’t challenge, no mountain that you will not climb - you are so positive it is infectious. Instinctively you know that there are better things on the horizon and with your ruler Mars residing in Scorpio right now, this is giving you the added determination and passion to see things through. Your success is tied to a lot of other people and all that you can do is make sure that you do the best you can and uphold your end. There will be a point in the week that will cause you to pause and return to a previous relationship that requires sorting out from the past. Even in a current relationship there may be old hard emotions that have been swept under the carpet. Emotional interchanges have to take place - sincere relationship efforts made now will be highly productive. The early bird catches the worm, as you seize the days with gusto and panache. You always have a lot on your plate and spend much of your time juggling and can rush over important steps, so make sure that you remember to double check things this week. All your inner efforts are about to pay off and bring about some dramatic external changes. It is as if you have the ability to see everything under a magnifying glass - everything seems much clearer now. There are a million reasons and excuses that we can come up with that will prevent us from doing certain things. There is a part of you that needs validation that you are on the right track and although one side of you trusts in the process of life, there is another side that can’t quite believe it and wants to be prepared for the worst. Once you rise above emotional challenges and get on with doing what needs to be done, validation will come your way. Your financial and material intuition is right on the mark and getting your financial life in order will mean that you will have the time to focus on matters that you deem more important. Later in the week frivolity becomes the mood and you will be looking forward to spending time socialising and having a laugh. A particular relationship in your life is asking you to love without expectations of a result. A piece of your past has pulled hard at your heart and it is time to put this to rest. How active is your mind this week? The answer is extremely, there are thoughts and feelings running through it at a rate of knots. Not all pleasant ones either but it is up to you to find the good thoughts and work at building on them. You are in a state of transformation and the key is to deal with the present and leave the future to take care of itself. A healing break is on its way to allow you time to reflect and recuperate; a change will be as good as a rest.
LIBRA
Opportunities are springing your way, things that seemed to hold no resolution are being sorted out and dawn is coming. This is not just in your material world but also on a personal level too. Just watch how quickly solutions appear and then help comes by to make the end result happen quicker. This is your turn to receive a little karmic help and happiness. Your September 23rd - negotiating skills are at an all-time high and you may be asked to intervene October 22nd to help another.

Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!
Still with the tomato theme this week as there seems to be tons of them around here is s recipe for a one-pot dish that is great for a supper meal.
Chicken and tomato curry Ingredients:
(serves 4)
● 50gr butter ● 2 medium sized onions finely chopped ● 2.5cm (1 inch) piece of ginger, peeled and chopped ● 2 teaspoons garam masala ● 1 teaspoon ground cumin ● ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper ● 150ml natural yogurt ● 125gr tomatoes skinned and chopped ● 1¾ kilos chicken cut into 8 portions ● 150ml chicken stock ● Salt to taste
Directions ● Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the chopped onions and ginger and fry over a gentle heat until soft. Add the garam masala, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook for two minutes then gradually stir in the yogurt a tablespoonful at a time. Stir in the chopped tomatoes adding salt to taste and cook over a low heat for a further 2 to 3 minutes.
● Add the chicken pieces and the stock to the pan and bring to the boil. ● Once it has come to the boil, cover the pan and simmer for around 45 minutes or until the chicken is tender. ● Serve with pilau rice and poppadums or crispy bread if you can't get the poppadums. ADVERTISING FEATURE
Get ready for Christmas
There is so much chaos going on around you will be motivated to cut through most of it and get to the heart of the matter. This is of course what everyone has been waiting for - someone who has the ability to see through the muddles of deception and illusions that have been slowly gaining momentum. Emotional challenges that you have to deal with will at least allow everyone to see where you stand. This is a positive time for you where you will be making your own presence felt.
SAGITTARIUS Innovations and ideas abound and the desire to liberate yourself from anything that has restricted you over the last few months is strong. You have received a charge of energy from up high and this has fired you into intelligent action. You will be in the spotlight with all eyes firmly on you as others want you to take up the leadership role. Your reputation is high and you will want November 22nd - to do a good job for others. Get ready to be at the top - just remember to take December 21st time to enjoy it.
CAPRICORN When all the elements of success are there, it is not like you to give up so early on. Challenges and obstacles are something that you understand most of all and systematically working through them with patience and tenacity usually pays off. Do not let the dreamers who just love to dream and move on influence you - these people love to dream but are not interested in turning nd December 22 those dreams into reality. That isn’t you – you have the ability to make things January 19th happen. Don’t forget who you are.
AQUARIUS

PISCES
February 19th March 20th
This is a time of directing your passions and energy towards getting what you want and not reacting to situations and people but remaining focused on the bigger picture. Travel is highlighted and it is all about taking charge of arrangements and organising others, putting yourself in control of steering your own ship. This is a chance for a radical new start, the end of tolerating something that is no good for you - the ship you are steering is heading for a new shore. It is time to stop holding yourself back by staying at the same level as others when you know you have the ability to soar much higher in one area of your life. Once you realise your true value and potential there will be no stopping you and this will naturally help balance the relationship scales and improve the energy flow between you and a significant other. Just be yourself - you may be surprised at how much others appreciate the ‘real’ you shining through.

Love can ease pain
News - Breakthroughs - Treatments - Trends Advantage Beauty Tip Lowering of being blood bilingual pressure A recent Canadian study suggests that people who speak more than one language are less likely to develop forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's.
Love hurts, as the song says, but it also helps ease pain, according to researchers at Stanford University. Scientists have known for some time that strong feelings of love produce intense activity in several different brain regions – including the areas linked to the brain chemical dopamine, which produces the brain's feelgood state following certain stimulants, such as eating sweets to taking cocaine. The Stanford team had noticed that when we feel pain, some of the same areas "light up" on the scans, and wondered
whether one might affect the other, so they recruited a dozen students who were all in the first nine months of a relationship, defined as "the first phase of intense love". They asked each student to bring in a picture of the object of their affection and photos of an equally attractive acquaintance. They were shown the photos while their brains were scanned.
mild pain. The researchers found that viewing the picture of their beloved reduced perceptions of pain much more than looking at the image of the acquaintance. They said the "love-induced analgesia" appeared to work in a similar way to opium-based painkillers. But people in long-term relationships shouldn't worry.
Meanwhile, a computer controlled heat pad placed in the palm of their hand was set up to cause them
A spokesman for the neuropsychology department at the University of Derby, said
that while the effect noticed by the Stanford researchers might only be short-lived in the early stages of a love affair, it may well be replaced by something similar later in a relationship, with a sense of comfort and wellbeing generating the release of endorphins.
A survey of hundreds of elderly Canadian dementia patients found the bilingual patients on average developed symptoms at least four years later than their monolingual peers. The researchers said this could be because bilingual individuals were exercising their brains in ways which their monolingual peers were not, and thus delaying dementia.

Chocolate claim rebutted The claim by researchers that an ingredient of dark chocolate may help diabetics control dangerously high cholesterol levels has been dismissed by Diabetes UK. Chocolate with high levels of cocoa solids is rich in polyphenols, which other studies suggest can reduce the risk of heart disease. To test their theory that chemicals found in cocoa beans can help diabetics, the Hull researchers gave 12 volunteers with the type II form of the condition identical chocolate bars, some enriched with polyphenols, over a 16 week period. They found that the people who received the enriched bars experienced a small improvement in their overall cholesterol "profile", with total cholesterol falling, and levels of socalled "good" cholesterol rising.
at
However, researchers Diabetes UK are
concerned that the message would be interpreted as a "green light" to eat more chocolate. They pointed out that even bars with the highest levels of cocoa solids would contain high levels of fat and sugar, and could end up doing more harm than good. "They said the design of the study was somewhat unrealistic because participants were only asked
to eat only around half the size of a normal, dark chocolate bar every day for eight weeks. But they added that it would be interesting to see if further research could find a way of testing whether polyphenols could be added to foods which were not high in sugar and saturated fat such as chocolate.

naturally High blood pressure is one of the most preventable conditions and most people can reduce it without medication. First get to a healthy weight, then add these strategies POWER WALKS Exercise helps the heart use oxygen more efficiently, so it doesn’t work as hard to pump blood. BREATHE DEEPLY Slow breathing and meditative practices such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi decrease stress hormones, which elevate renin, a kidney enzyme that raises blood pressure. Try five minutes in the morning and at night. POTASSIUM-RICH PRODUCE Potassium-rich fruits and vegetables are an important part of any blood pressure–lowering programme. Top sources of potassium-rich produce include sweet potatoes, tomatoes, orange juice, potatoes, bananas, kidney beans, peas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and dried fruits such as prunes and raisins. SALT INTAKE Reduce your salt intake to 1,500 mg daily - half a teaspoon of salt contains about 1,200 mg of sodium. Watch out for sodium in processed foods, which is where most of the sodium in your diet comes from. Season foods with spices, herbs, lemon, and salt-free seasoning blends.

DARK CHOCOLATE Dark varieties contain flavanols that make blood vessels more elastic. Dieticians recommend ½ ounce daily but make sure it contains at least 70% cocoa.

DRINK A LITTLE Studies found that light drinking (one-quarter to one-half a drink per day for a woman) may actually reduce blood pressure more than no drinks per day. One "drink" is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits. Other studies have also found that moderate drinking - up to one drink a day for a woman, two for a man - can lower risks of heart disease.

Sachsgate fallout
Sir Terry helped save the day The Togs - Terry's old geezers and gals - were distraught when smooth talking Irish broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan announced his retirement from his hugely popular Radio 2 show. But they might have had to go into mourning a whole year earlier if Sir Terry had stuck to his original timetable. Sir Terry delayed his plans by 12 months to help stop the BBC "imploding" after the furore caused by "Sachsgate", his replacement Chris Evans said at the weekend. Sir Terry had planned to leave after the 2008 Children in Need appeal but in October Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross left the now infamous obscene message on the answer phone of Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs. Chris Evans told an audience at the Cheltenham Literature Festival at the weekend that the hugely popular Wogan decided it would be disloyal to leave as the
Corporation reeled under criticism, heads rolled, Brand resigned and Ofcom levied a £150,000 fine. As he launched his autobiography at the festival Evans revealed that plans had been in place for him to take over the Wogan spot in January last year but the Sachsgate phone call went "nuclear". After a big meeting Sir Terry decided that for the sake of the station and the BBC he would postpone his retirement plans. Evans also revealed that as a result of the failure of the two men to apologise the BBC had to draw up new compliance guidelines for sta at a cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds and new restrictions now govern all on-air workers at the BBC.
Homer a hit with Vatican Doh! He may be a lazy, beer guzzling,doughnut eating couch potato who sets a poor example to his kids but apparently Homer Simpson is a true Catholic. Well, so says the Vatican's official daily newspaper the L'Osservatore Romano. In an article headlined "Homer and Bart are Catholics" the newspaper said that The
Simpsons is one of the few TV programmes for children in which the themes of faith, religion and questions about God recur. Mind you it is not the first time that Homer and the family have come in for praise. The show got a pat on the back in the newspaper last December when it celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Oh No Mr Bond star fails to appear Well, he may have hung up his licence to kill years ago but no-one would ever have thought that tough-guy actor Sir Sean Connery had hung up his licence to travel. The Scots born former James Bond had been summoned to give evidence in a corruption case dubbed "Goldfinger" in Marbella last Friday as magistrates investigate claims of tax evasion and money laundering centred on the sale in 1999 of the Connery home on the Costa. But the 80-year-old actor sent a letter to the court
saying that he could not travel due to his age and health issues. Sir Sean has a home in the Bahamas and also owns an apartment in Manhattan, New York, and was seen by fans dancing a jig for TV cameras in June when he launched the Edinburgh film festival after flying to Scotland for the event. Now it will be a question of seeing whether court authorities are shaken but not stirred by the news, and whether they will take further steps to order the still sauve star to appear. Maybe he needs Q to develop a new form of travel.

VIDEO GAME ADAPTS IN FACE OF CONTROVERSY
Video game Medal of Honor (MOH) has gone on sale despite bids to ban it but developers EH have made a change to stave off controversy. MOH has been switched from WWII to modern day conflicts and the new game recreates modern combat in the
ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. Originally players could choose to fight as the Taliban. UK defence secretary Liam Fox said it was “unBritish” and unacceptable and called for a ban. He was backed by the Canadian and Danish defence ministers. EH decided to face down
the protests but have now bowed to pressure and taken the term “Taliban” out of the multi-player to be replaced by “The Opposition”.The game is banned from sale on military bases although there is nothing to stop it being bought off-base.
CYBER CRIME
Facebook security breach revealed
Cyber crime among top UK threats
It's being claimed that some of the most popular applications on Facebook have been transmitting information identifying users.
Attacks on computer networks are among the biggest threats to the UK, Theresa May has said ahead of the publication of a new National Security Strategy. Cyber terrorism was a "new and growing" danger, the home secretary said. There will be new money to bolster cyber security, focused on protecting critical infrastructure and defence assets.
The strategy was expected to form the background for Tuesday's Strategic Defence Review, with defence cuts of 8% expected. The National Security Council, set up by David
Cameron in May, is publishing an updated approach to national security which identifies 16 threats to the UK. The most serious which they are calling "Tier 1" - comprises acts of

Identity fraud now costs £1.9bn, says fraud authority Fraudsters obtain more than £1,000 from every identity they steal, official figures suggest. The National Fraud Authority (NFA) said fraudsters who stole identities had gained £1.9bn in the past year.
The NFA, set up in 2008, said its figures had been worked out with the help of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau.
Facebook and Skype social deal
Dr Bernard Herdan, the chief executive of the NFA, pointed out that stolen identities were often used to commit crimes other than fraud. This included dodging the police or other law enforcement agencies, terrorism and people trafficking. "Stolen and false identities are a significant
enabler of crime," said Dr Herdan. "Losses from identity theft and false identities don't just affect the individual, but also hit the public and private sectors." The NFA estimated that businesses and organisations lost £800m a year due to the expense of trying to combat identity fraud.
work."
Facebook developer Mike Vernal blogged: " We take user privacy seriously. We are dedicated to protecting private user data." He added that in many cases the passing on of user ID's by apps is not deliberate, saying: “In most cases, developers did not intend to pass on this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers
But it has already changed its systems saying in a statement that: "As of last week, no Facebook ids are being transmitted to ad networks in conjunction with the use of any Rapleaf service."
But it's not clear how long personal indentifying information was being passed on for. One data-gathering firm, Rapleaf, was found to be passing on user ID information from apps.
Most Facebook apps are the work of independent software companies, not Facebook itself.
Skype is integrating with Facebook to make it easier to call and video chat with friends and family on the social network. The deal comes amid fevered rumours that Facebook plans to launch a phone of its own. Meanwhile Skype is gearing up for a $100m (£62m) share issue.
Their frauds had affected 1.8 million people, the NFA estimated. It said the stolen identities had been put to a variety of dishonest uses, such as buying goods or services, obtaining state benefits, or opening bank accounts under false identities.
international terrorism, hostile computer attacks on UK cyberspace, a major accident or natural hazard such as a flu pandemic, or an international military crisis between states that draws in the UK and its allies.
The apps sent details to dozens of advertisers and companies that track what people are doing online. Facebook has already reacted to the revelation in the Wall Street Journal in the US. The company said that it would introduce new technology to limit the security breach.
"The essence of the Skype experience is communicating with the people you care about," said Rick Osterloh, Skype's head of consumer products. The new Skype for Windows will include a Facebook tab. This means that for the first time Skype users can keep up-to-date and interact with their Facebook news feed including posting status updates, commenting and linking directly from Skype.

French to bankroll music-buying French people aged 12-25 are to be encouraged to buy music via a statesubsidised scheme. The plan attempts to get young people into the habit of buying music rather than stealing it by filesharing. The scheme will revolve around pre-paid cards that have a face value of 50 euros (£43) but which will
only cost 25 euros when bought. The French government will pay the other half of the cost when a card is used to buy music on a download site. The French government estimates that the two-year scheme will cost it about 25 million euros (£22m) if it reaches its target of selling one million cards. Consumers will be limited to one card each per year.

Stoner unstoppable for home win Casey Stoner can now never be beaten as a Ducati rider at his home Australian Grand Prix, after taking his fourth Phillip Island win in a row on Sunday.
Newly crowned world champion Jorge Lorenzo tried to provide some opposition, but Stoner was always just that bit quicker and went on to claim his third win of the year with a huge margin of 8.598sec from the Fiat Yamaha rider. The third place battle was fiercely contested with Ben Spies, Nicky Hayden, Marco Simoncelli and Valentino Rossi trading places in the early stages. Outgoing world champion Valentino Rossi eventually joining this battle after finding himself back in ninth place at the end of lap 1 courtesy of his worst grid placing (eighth) since 2008. Rossi - on the podium at Phillip Island every year since 1998, including five victories in a row from 2001-2005 wasted no time in cutting through the trio ahead of him, making shoulder contact with 2011 Ducati team-mate Hayden in the process, to reach third place by lap 8 of 27. Stoner and Lorenzo however were long gone and Rossi instead had his hands full defending against Hayden,

Hayden, the 2006 world, champion outbraked Rossi to snatch third back at the Honda hairpin on lap 25, but Rossi typically clung with him and launched a block pass at the same turn to lever his M1 inside Hayden on the very final lap.Fiat Yamaha has now won the 2010 Teams' title to add to the riders' crown and are 39 points clear of Honda in the Constructors' standings.
Spies, who had started from the outside of the front row, had briefly held second place through turn one, but lost ground after Lorenzo cut across his nose into the following left hander. Riding at a track on which he made his victorious WSBK debut at in 2009, Spies spent most of the race fighting fellow rookie Marco Simoncelli for fifth position, which Spies finally took from the

Land Rover jobs saved after £5bn injection by owners Tata The massive injection of funds by Tata will save thousands of jobs and create many more, including 1,500 at the Halewood plant on Merseyside. Two other manufacturing sites which had been under threat, at Castle Bromwich and Solihull in the West Midlands, will also be retained. The Land Rover will continue to be built in Britain after the cash injection. Jaguar Land Rover said the number of models in its range will now be ‘significantly increased’. The firm has already unveiled a ‘baby Range Rover’, the Evoque, which is being built at Halewood and will on sale next summer. And bosses have agreed a ‘landmark’ twoyear pay deal with trade
unions worth 5 per cent from next month, with a further rise of 3 per cent from November next year. Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Ralf Speth said: “This is a triumph for all concerned. “Our parent company Tata supported us through the recession and our employees also made sacrifices but now we are seeing a great turnaround in the business and everyone involved.” The Unite union said it wasLOST “fantasticKEYS? news” for the company and workers.

Wayne Rooney `will not sign new deal´ Manchester United have been informed that Wayne Rooney will not sign a new contract with the club, according to reports from the Press Association.The 24-year-old striker's current deal runs out in the summer of 2012 and it is understood negotiations over a new contract have broken down. There has been speculation that Rooney will be sold in the January transfer window, with Real Madrid interested. However, United's response was to label that claim as "nonsense” . Rooney's relationship with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has also been under scrutiny in recent weeks.
Malaga lose again at home Ladies in action at in Madrid masterclass Mijas Malaga 1-4 Real Madrid Lawn Bowls Club
Malaga went into this game having not won a home game this season and with a full house behind them hopes were high.
Ramos on Ozil resulted in a penalty which Ronaldo stepped up and converted, 3-0 and the game was
Madrid could have added further goals in the closing stages with Karim Benzema (twice), Ronaldo and Pedro
Malaga did start brightly but Madrid soon got into their stride and began dominating the game, Higuain and Khedira both struck the woodwork with efforts from outside the box. The pressure told and Higuain put Madrid ahead on the half-hour mark, slotting in from a tight angle at the far post following a great move.
Higuain watches as the ball heads for goal
Malaga briefly threatened an equaliser when Rondon's cross took a deflection, but Iker Casillas was in the right place to save. Just before halftime a mistake by Weligton allowed German star Ozil to run in and set up Ronaldo for Madrid's second goal. Five minutes into the second period a stupid and clumsy challenge by Edu
almost certainly over. Malaga ensured it was not all one-way traffic when they made it 3-1 in the 55th minute, Kris slotting home at the far post after substitute Luque's corner had flicked off the head of Higuain. Ten minutes later however Madrid wrapped up all three points after Higuain drilled in a low shot to the far corner after being played in by Ronaldo.
Leon all going close as Mourinho's men warmed up for the visit of Milan with a comprehensive triumph. That’s four home games against the top sides now out of the way so hopfully Malaga should start beating teams of a similar stature. Report By: Scott Forbes
Spain’s national side not being allowed to collect award Real Madrid’s coach José Mourinho and Barca’s Josep Guardiola flatly refused last week to allow their national squad players to attend the Prince of Asturias Awards ceremony in Oviedo, to
collect this year’s sports award. By the weekend though Mourinho had relented and said that captain Iker Casillas could go, but by press time, there was no word from Guardiola as to whether he

would allow the World Cup winning goal scorer Andres Iniesta to join Casillas. Liverpool have confirmed that Fernando Torres will be there to help pick up the award.
The Ladies Annual Triples was held at Mijas lawn bowls club last week. It was a good turn out with some very good bowling. The weather was kind and all the games were conducted in the time allowed. On the final day the teams who came through the format were involved in some very good games, again in bright sunshine. The ladies of Mijas, Linda, Geraldine and Barbara, played the semi final against Los Amigos ladies Susan, Dorrien and Diane. Mijas won the match by nine points, to take the third prize. The final was between Benalmadena ladies Kate, Amber and Mary, and Superbowl’s Shirley, Bridget and Maureen. This match was well played with the Benalmadena ladies also winning by nine points. The prizes were presented by Susan Walker, who said it was a good event though it would have been better if more ladies had entered the competition. The ladies of Mijas were thanked for their hard work in providing food during the tournament.

Fifa launches investigation into Barca’s ex president Joan Laporta vote-selling claims in the dock to answer charges Barcelona’s board voted by a slim majority - 468 to 439 - at a meeting last week to take legal steps to make former president Joan Laporta answer for the €48 million debt the club ran up during the seven years he was in charge. The club’s deputy president in charge of finances, Xavier Faus, said no-one was being accused of pocketing money but that there were no invoices for millions of euros. He said: “ In my company we have to present receipts even for
the drinks we have during working hours.” He said the club had spent more than €3 million on private detectives without any
“receipts or details”. Laporta is reported to have met his lawyers over the weekend.
Fifa is investigating allegations that two of its officials offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup. Reporters from The Sunday Times posed as lobbyists for a consortium of American companies who wanted to bring the tournament to the United States. They approached Amos Adamu, a Nigerian who serves as a Fifa executive committee member. He allegedly told reporters he wanted cash to build pitches in Nigeria. Mr Adamu, who is president of the West African Football Union, is said to
have told the undercover journalists that he wanted $800,000 (£500,000) to build four artificial football pitches. The Sunday Times video footage shows Mr Adamu wanting money to be paid to him directly for endorsing the US bid. In the video, he was asked whether the money for a "private project" would have an effect on the way he voted. He replied: "Obviously, it will have an effect. Of course it will. Because certainly if you are to invest in that, that means you also want the vote." Reynald Temarii, president of
the Oceania Football Confederation, is also alleged to have asked for a payment, in his case to finance a sports academy. A European nation will definitely host the 2018 World Cup after the United States - the last remaining non-European bidder - pulled out of the race on Friday. England will now battle it out with bids from Russia, Belgium/Netherlands and Spain/Portugal. A 24-strong committee will decide by secret ballot on December 2nd who should host the tournaments.

Green claims his first tour title of 2010 after winning the Portugal Masters It was a monumental day for Australian Richard Green who shot a sparkling final-round 65 to win the Portugal Masters at the resort town of Vilamoura on the Portugese Algarve on Sunday The 39-year-old lefthander had begun the final round at the Oceanico Victoria Club seven shots adrift of overnight leader Pablo Martin. Four players shared second place, two shots behind Green. Italy’s Francesco Molinari, who shot a fourth-round 62, Spain’s Gonzalo Fernandez, Sweden’s Robert Karlsson and Joost Luiten of the Netherlands all reached 16 under for the tournament. "I felt I needed to play one of my best rounds of golf," said Green, who leapt up 14 places on the final day to win his third European Tour title. "Scoring a 64 was on my mind. Strange finish but a win is a win. This win is up there with my other two." It was something of a disappointment for Malaga born Pablo Martin, after an overnight lead he went from 18 to 20 under before three bogeys and two

double bogeys, including one on the last, which left him joint sixth on 15 under. and it was also the second time in as many years that he has let a lead slip away at this event. England's David Dixon matched Martin's 15under total after a 67, as did the Republic of Ireland's Peter Lawrie (69). Ryder Cup stars Ross Fisher and Miguel Angel Jimenez
finished down the field despite finishing on 11 and 10 under respectively. Elsewhere, in Malaysia at the Johor Open last weekend, Ireland's Padraig Harrington won his first title for two years with a final round 69.The 39-yearold finished on 20 under par, three shots clear of South Korean Noh Seungyul, who shot a superb 65. Harrington, who had been
It was certainly a vast contrast to the waterlogged course at Celtic Manor, although despite the dry conditions a twohour delay was caused by a thunderstorm on the final day when Harrington began the game with a fivestroke advantage and three birdies in his first four holes, which seemed to have put the title beyond the reach of his rivals. Colin Montgomerie, Europe's victorious Ryder Cup captain, also carded a 69 to share 11th place on 10 under. It seems the momentum is still going strong for the Celtic Manor champions as the race to Dubai is now on. Report by Claire Voet

Jockey Katsidis found dead Leading Australian jockey Stathi Katsidis has been found dead at his Brisbane home a fortnight before he was due to ride in the Melbourne Cup. Police say there are no suspicious circumstances around the death of the multiple Group One-winning rider. Queensland champion jockey Katsidis, 31, is the brother of world lightweight boxing champion Michael Katsidis. He was due to ride Australian Derby winner Shoot Out in the Cox Plate on Saturday, and November's Melbourne Cup.
Murray wins the Shanghai Masters Despite the match being played to a smaller than normal crowd in the gigantic stadium court in Shanghai, Andy Murray returned to his best form to overcome former world number one Roger Federer 6-3 6-2 in the final of the Shanghai Masters. Murray was totally focused on the job in hand in the final. He established a 5-3 lead in the opening set, breaking Federer in the first game and again for a second time to claim it by producing a tremendous
passing shot on the run. Federer had a chance of two break points in the opening game of the second set, but Murray wasn't about to let the Swiss player back into the game, which summed up the way that Murray controlled the match. With Federer suffering with his ground strokes, particularly his ineffective forehand, Murray broke to lead 3-1 and tied it up with his second break of the second set to wrap it up 6-2 as Federer could only bundle a volley into the net. Murray now holds an 8-5 lead over the Swiss player in their career meetings, but Federer remains 3-2 ahead of Murray in their final duels, including wins over the Scotsman at the 2008 US Open and this year's
Australian Open. The win comes only a couple of months after Federer was beaten by Murray in the final of the Toronto Masters. "It was a great week - I played some of my best tennis, especially tonight," said the 23-year-old from Dunblane. "You always have to play your best to have a chance against Roger. I managed to do that most of the week so I'm really pleased." Federer, who is back at world number two following his semi-final win against Novak Djokovic, paid tribute to the champion. "Andy had an outstanding tournament," said the always magnanimous Federer. "I thought Andy played great today. He didn't give me many chances."

Gordon Strachan resigns `Boro ’ job Gordon Strachan has resigned as Middlesbrough manager after less than a year in charge at the Riverside. Strachan departed with the club in 20th place in the Championship, their lowest league position for 20 years. "He offered his resignation but not only that - in doing so he tore up his contract," Boro chairman Steve Gibson told BBC Tees. "He sought no compensation and walked away from the club with empty hands and it's a measure of the man."
