Terrorism - World News

Medvedev vows to hunt down terrorists President Dmitry Medvedev vowed on Monday to track down and punish the people behind the apparent suicide bomb attack at Moscow's Domodedovo airport earlier that day which killed 35 people, including one Britain, and injured more than 110. transport officials were guilty of criminal negligence. Describing the terror threat in Russia as being higher than that in the US, Mr Medvedev said a system of "comprehensive checks" based on Israeli and US security procedures should be introduced at all transport hubs. Mr Medvedev's remarks came as reports began to

circulate suggesting some prior warning may have been given. According to the RIA Novosti news agency, Russian authorities were warned a week ago that an "act of terror" would be carried out near one of Moscow's airports.

ICKHAM’S

WORLD Play by the rules...

By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es

I have had a call from a reader about our front page article last week that commented about a number of “Britons” being in the position of having the possibility of their houses being knocked down. Of course, it is not only Britons that are in this position, it is Spanish, German, Irish and everybody else. The problem is that the British seem to take the attitude a lot of the time that they can build whatever they like wherever they like and when caught, it's the Spanish picking on them. It's not. Anybody, no matter what their origins, should realise that if they do something illegal and get caught they have to pay the price. There's an old saying: “If you do the crime, do the time” and, odd though it seems to some, illegal building or driving a foreign plated car when you've been here over the allotted time is exactly that – illegal and therefore a crime. I can remember when I lived in a certain area of West london years ago how intolerant the Brits were of the Indians and Pakistanis who stuck together and didn't learn the language or lived by their own rules. They were called the “bloody foreigners”. What we have to remember is that we are the “bloody foreigners” here and are hugely tolerated by the Spanish. How many of us have learned the language? How many have built when they shouldn't? How many are running foreign plated cars? Time we all decided where we want to live and stick by the rules of where we choose.

Translators at centre of controversy As of a week ago, representatives of the four regions have been entitled to address the Upper House in their own language – something the Basque, Catalan, Valencian and Gallegan politicians have spent several years fighting for. The press have put the cost of the simultaneous interpretation service at €12,000 a day, a figure that shocked many people in these times of financial crisis, especially as everyone speaks Spanish anyway. An editorial in El Mundo was scathing in its criticism: "The same parliamentarians who talk to each other in the corridors in a language that they all share need interpreters to understand one another in the chamber." Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy told reporters: "Something like

this would not happen in any normal country.” Socialists – including prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero – have said it reflects the country's regional diversity and is an appropriate service in the Upper House because the constitution established it as representing the territories. As well as Catalan, Valencian, Galician and Euskara, a number of other languages and dialects are spoken across the country, including Aragonese,

Asturian and Leonese. But virtually everyone speaks Spanish as their first or second language. When one MP commented on introducing a translation service in the lower house, both the Socialist Party and the Partido Popular knocked that idea firmly on the head.

MPs’ pensions in the spotlight Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy called on Sunday for a review of MPs’ pensions, which he described as “over-generous”. It was one of the several austerity measures Sr Rajoy outlined at the Partido Popular’s annual convention in Seville. On Monday Speaker Jose Bono told the press he had already

been planning to put such a proposal forward and was reported to be angry that Sr Rajoy had pre-empted him. On Tuesday, Josep Antoni Duran Lleida, the parliamentary spokesman

for the Catalan nationalist party, CiU, said he was in favour of stopping public pensions to former prime ministers who were receiving salaries from private companies – a clear

reference to former PMs Felipe Gonzalez (above right) and Jose Maria Aznar (above left), who both receive generous salaries from Gas Natural and Endesa as consultants. He

said his party would back a parliamentary debate about MPs pensions provided that it also included "conflicts of interests, incompatibilities and the salaries of former PMs”.

Germany wants young Spanish professionals Chancellor Angela Merkel is expected to discuss with prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero the possibility of unemployed young professionals going to Germany to work when she next meets him for bilateral talks in Madrid on February 3rd, according to Der Spiegel magazine. It said this would partially solve the deficit of young professionals in Germany and alleviate Spain’s unemployment problem a little. While Germany

would extend the same proposal to other countries in southern and eastern Europe, the magazine said Portugal and Spain were the

preferred countries. It said Germany needed to create between 500,000 and 800,000 new specialist jobs, especially in the engineering and

telecommunications sector, to boost its economic growth. The German economy grew by 3.6% last year, well above the EU average.

Baby-buying ring dismantled The Guardia Civil have detained one man and five women in Tenerife who are allegedly involved in a network which oﬀered €10,000 to poor pregnant women to sell their babies. The investigation started after the Guardia heard rumours which led them to follow a woman who was having frequent meetings with a poor pregnant woman and a rich local family. They followed her movements

until she visited the pregnant woman after she was taken to hospital to give birth. They arrested her without further proof in order to stop the sale of the baby. They also arrested a

dealer who was trying to sell cocaine to the baby’s mother. The confession of the woman detained led the Guardia to the rest of the gang.

Spain’s arms sales increase Spanish exports of military material rose by 78% in the first half of last year, according to a report sent to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Foreign Commerce. Spanish arms sales totalled nearly €1.4 billion

in 2009, a record for the industry, so last year’s increase will probably lead to another record for 2010. According to the report, sales to NATO and the EU countries dropped slightly but this was made up for by increased sales to

Cost of EU presidency revealed Spain’s presidency of the EU from January to June last year cost just €41 million, €20 million less than the government had expected. Spain’s secretary of state for the EU, Diego Lopez Garrido, said in his report to Parliament last week that the government had budgeted for an expenditure of more than

€61. He said the difference was due to the fact the US President Barack Obama cancelled a visit to an EU meeting in Madrid, and a meeting of the EU’s Mediterranean countries slated to be held in Barcelona had also been cancelled. He said Spain’s last presidency of the EU in 2002 had cost €59 million.

Town bids to attract folk The ayuntamiento of Olmeda de la Cuesta, Cuenca province, plans to sell off plots of land very cheaply in order to attract people to live in the town where there have been no births for more than 40 years and which has the oldest population in Spain. Only 15 people live there on a daily basis although 18 women and 14 men are registered at the town hall. Mayor José Luis Regacho said several plots of land with the ruins of houses have already been offered by people who no longer live in the town, which is 55 kilometres from Cuenca and 160 kilometres from Madrid.

He said the plots would be sold for the same amount of money it would take to clean them up – about €2,000. The mayor admitted there were no work prospects in the town and that his only hope of keeping it alive was to attract people who wanted a weekend retreat. Its oldest inhabitant, Gregorio, aged 89, remembered how people went to Madrid to study or work 40 years ago and never came back. But some of them still remember the town around 500 turned up to celebrate its saint’s day recently.

Spain backs coca leaf campaign Foreign minister Trinidad Jimenez told her Bolivian counterpart, David Choquehuanca, last week that that she "understood" Bolivia's demand for an end to an international ban on chewing coca leaf and would try to mediate with other European countries. Bolivia has launched a diplomatic offensive to achieve its aim and Sr Choquehuanca was on a European tour in a bid to drum up support to amend a UN treaty on banned drugs to decriminalise coca chewing. Coca has been used in the Andes for thousands of years as a mild stimulant and sacred herbal medicine, but it is also the raw material for the production of illegal cocaine.

Before becoming Bolivia's first indigenous head of state, Sr Morales was a leader of a coca-growers trade union. He now wants to amend the 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotics Drugs to remove language that bans the chewing of coca leaf. The convention stipulates that coca-chewing be eliminated within 25 years of the convention coming into effect in 1964. Bolivia's proposal would leave in place language that makes coca a controlled substance.

Bolivian President Evo Morales has long advocated the recognition of coca as a plant of great medicinal, cultural and religious importance that is distinct from cocaine.

The US has already sent a letter to the United Nations saying it was opposed to the move. An unnamed state department official said removing all references to

coca leaf chewing from the convention would weaken the counter-narcotics fight. The US, the world's largest consumer of cocaine, has been leading efforts to eradicate coca production in the Andes for decades. Spain is the highest consumer of cocaine in Europe, along with the UK.

e other face of tourism The "Beach Garbage Hotel" was the star attraction at last week's International Tourism Fair (Fitur) in Madrid. It was made entirely from debris found on beaches and landfills, including plastic materials,tyres and old clothing. Its creator, German artist Ha Schult said he hoped the five-bedroom hotel he built in the central Plaza de Callao would draw attention to the massive amount of waste generated by mass tourism in Europe. He said between 30% to 40% of the objects in the temporary guest house were found on beaches in the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

It has told Google to delete links to websites that contain out of date or inaccurate information about people.

ree charged over Christmas Island shipwreck Australia has charged three Indonesian men with people-smuggling oﬀences following the death of nearly 50 people in a shipwreck oﬀ Christmas Island. The men were among 100 people thought to be on board the flimsy boat when it smashed into rocks on December 15th. The passengers were mostly Iranian, Iraqi and Kurdish asylum seekers who had been trying to get to Australia via Indonesia. Coastguards were only able

to rescue 42 survivors. The three men - aged 22, 60 and 32 - were charged with "facilitating the bringing to Australia of a group of five or more persons" when they appeared in court in Perth on Monday and face up to 20 years in prison if convicted, and a fine of up to A$220,000 (£138,000).

Witnesses said the boat, which was smashed to pieces when it went aground on Christmas Island, went down within an hour, leaving survivors clinging to pieces of wreckage. It is thought the engine on the vessel failed, and island residents said the seas were the heaviest

UN chief accused of 'cowardice' The UN has defended its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon over accusations that he has failed to speak out over human rights issues. In its annual report, Human Right Watch singled out Mr Ban, because he has been "notably reluctant to put pressure on abusive governments". Mr Ban's office denied this, saying he used both quiet diplomacy and public pressure to promote human rights. But an HRW spokesman said it wants its annual report to draw attention to "the failure of the expected champions of human

rights" to defend those rights and stand up to abusive governments.Mr Ban's style has been more discreet than that of his predecessor Kofi Annan, preferring to convince by private persuasion, with such world leaders as Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and Burma's military leader Than Shwe. Mr Ban's spokesman Farhan Haq said: "The record shows he has achieved results through

both quiet diplomacy and public pressure." The report criticises the EU’s foreign policy chief Baroness Ashton "for repeatedly expressing a preference for 'quiet diplomacy' regardless of the circumstances", while US President Barack Obama is accused of lacking his "famed eloquence" when defending human rights in bilateral contexts with China, India and Indonesia.

Lenin should be buried

At press time, police in Cairo were using tear gas and water cannon to try to quell rare anti-government protests. Thousands joined the protest, in response to an internet campaign for a “day of revolt”, inspired by the uprising in Tunisia where weeks of unrest eventually toppled President Zine alAbidine Ben Ali.

Two thirds of more than 270,000 people who voted on an unoﬃcial online poll set up by some members of parliament for Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s united Russia (uR) said Lenin should now be buried. The revolutionary leader's embalmed body has been on display in a mausoleum in Red Square in Moscow since his death on

However, such protests are uncommon in Egypt, which President Hosni Mubarak has ruled since 1981, tolerating little dissent. The organisers have said the turnout was much more than they had hoped for. There were also reports of protests in Alexandria and Ismailiya.

The

Ben Ali fled earlier this month following violent protests. He has sought refuge in Saudi Arabia. Last week, Tunisian central bank officials denied reports that the wife of the deposed president took 1.5 tonnes of gold bars from the central bank before leaving the country. Some 33 members

Eyewitness said the woman had climbed over a safety barrier and leapt from a restaurant at the top of the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano. She was taken to intensive care for treatment for multiple injuries.

Cardinal criticises Berlusconi

STOCK CLEARANCE!

Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the head of the Catholic Church in Italy, has strongly criticised prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, who is embroiled in a sex scandal. Cardinal Bagnasco told a meeting of the Italian bishops' conference in Ancona on Monday that "whoever accepts a public position must understand the sobriety, personal discipline, sense of measure and honour that come with it", adding that political leaders who behave immorally pollute the country's future. Although

the cardinal did not name Mr Berlusconi, it was clear who he was talking about.

called for a more "robust morality" and legality among public officials.

The Catholic Church had been reluctant to openly criticise Mr Berlusconi because it did not want to stand accused of fomenting further political instability. But last week the man seen as number two at the Vatican, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone,

A day later, Pope Benedict XVI deplored the current weakening of public morals. Prosecutors have accused Mr Berlusconi of paying for sex with prostitutes, allegedly including an under-age dancer, but he denies he has done anything wrong.

China 'copied parts from downed US jet' The technology behind China's J-20 stealth fighter, which had its first test flight earlier this month, may have come from a US plane shot down during the Kosovo war. Adm Davor Domazet-Loso, Croatia's military chief of staff at the time, said on Monday that

Chinese agents took parts of an F-117 stealth jet which had been shot down by a Serbian anti-aircraft missile during a Nato bombing raid in 1999. A senior Serbian military official confirmed that some of the pieces ended up “in the hands of foreign military attachés”.

Parts of the F-117 wreckage, including its left wing, cockpit canopy, ejection seat, pilot's helmet and radio, are on show at Belgrade's aviation museum. Currently, the United States is the only nation with a fully operational stealth plane.

Councils face Blair expresses “regret” Yeates repair shortfall charge Local authorities in the UK have found themselves with a shortfall of some £165 million for road repairs following the severe weather problems in the UK - the worst December weather in a century. Last year, authorities fixed more than two on potholes, million average one pothole every 33 seconds according to councillor Peter Box who is also chairman of the lobbying organisation LGA.

After water freezes and expands it causes cracks in the roads which lead to potholes that can cause to significant damage vehicles. The allowance for road repairs in 2010 / 2011 is £871 million but will drop to £806 million next year and £779 million the year after according to the LGA. Mr Box said that it was a priority of councils to keep the roads in a safe condition for motorists

BA and Iberia join forces The multi-million pound merger between British Airways and Iberia was completed on Friday, creating the second biggest airline in the world. The name of the new airline is International Airline Group (IAG) and it traded for the first time last Monday. However, the company immediately hit turbulance as BA staff voted to strike over pay and other perks although they have not yet released any dates when the strikes are likely to take place. Last year the dispute cost BA 22 days worth of strikes. Unite spokesman and general secretary designate Len McCluskey said that “for the fourth time in 13 months British Airways cabin crew have voted overwhelmingly in support of their union and expressed their dissatisfaction with management behaviour.” But BA hit back saying that Unite did not have the support of the majority of the cabin crews.

Under the new agreement BA and Iberia will be retaining their current operations and individual brands, and BA’s Willie Walsh becomes the new Chief Executive of the group. Germany’s Lufthansa is the biggest airline in terms of market capitalisation.

Former UK prime minister Tony Blair told officials of the Chilcot enquiry that he “deeply and profoundly” regretted the deaths of British troops and Iraqi civilians in the conflict, while a member of the audience shouted: “It’s too late!” and others jeered and booed. During his last appearance at the enquiry Mr Blair upset family members of the 179 UK personnel killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2009 by saying that he had no

regrets about the war. However, during this hearing, the ex-PM said that he had misunderstood the question and thought that he was being asked if he had regrets about going to war itself and that he took the responsibilty for that decision personally. Mr Blair has been facing probing questions about his decision to proceed with going to war with Iraq and Chairman John Chilcot explained that Mr Blair had been recalled for a second appearance

Big bank shake-up Clapton Sir John Vickers, head of the commission on banking reforms, used a speech at the London Business School Conference to outline some of the findings of the investigation by the Independent Commission on Banking into competition in the sector. He said that the commission was looking into plans to possibly split the investment banks from the high street deposit

taking banks to promote financial stability and healthy competition with a view to lessening the impact of banks collapsing in the future. The commission had also examined the attitude that certain banks were deemed “too big to fail”. However, no final decisions have been made and the Commission has until September to make its recommendations to the Government.

Surrogate mother to Fish, chips and pizza keep baby girl A judge has ruled that a surrogate mother should be allowed to keep the baby she gave birth to after finding a couple on an internet site in 2009 and informally agreeing that she would be inseminated with the husband’s sperm and hand the baby over at birth. However, during the pregnancy the surrogate mother changed her mind and when the baby was

born six months ago, she refused to hand it over although she already has two older children of her own. The father, Mr W, is a chef who married his wife in 2005. They tried to have a baby but after several miscarriages believed that surrogacy might be their answer. The relationship between the parties broke down somewhere along the pregnancy. Mr Justice Baker gave reasons for his judgement in Birmingham following the case saying that the welfare of the six month old child required her to stay with her mother. He added: “In my judgement, there is a clear attachment between mother and daughter. To remove her from her mother’s care would cause a measure of harm. It is the mother who, I find, is better able to meet the baby’s needs, in particular her emotional needs.” He said that the risks of entering into surrogacy agreements were “very considerable”.

The owner of Harry Ramsden’s fish restaurants has put in a bid of £342 million to buy out Ranjit Singh Boparan’s Northern Foods which makes Goodfella’s Pizzas, Fox’s biscuits and owns the Two Sisters chicken processing business. The merger will create a giant £2 billion a year sales and has been recommended to Northern’s shareholders by management. Northern Foods Chairman Anthony Hobson described the deal as a “compelling offer” and Boparan now has 28 days to write to shareholders to inform them of a timetable to vote on the acquisition. Previously, the management had recommended a merger with Greencore, which would have produced a new company called Essenta Foods, but the deal fell through. Northern is one of the biggest suppliers of own label products in the UK with sales of £977 million last year.

auction World famous guitarist Eric Clapton will be auctioning part of his guitar and amplifier collection on March 9th at Bonhams in New York to raise much needed funds for the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, The Crossroads Centre, he set up in 1998 on the island of Antigua. Highlights of the auction include a black Fender Stratocaster, one of his main stage guitars he used in 2005, which is expected to fetch between twenty and thirty thousand dollars. Another of his Stratocasters, used in his Asia Oceania tour of 2009 and at his concert at the O2 in 2010, is expected to make between twenty five and thirty thousand dollars. Other guitars have been donated by Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa but this is the first time Clapton has parted with some of his amplifier collection.

Redknapp robbed in Spain Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp was mugged by a gang of pickpockets during a trip to watch Spain’s Real Madrid play local rivals Atletico Madrid in the annual Copa del Rey competition last Thursday. The 63-year-old said that two strangers approached him, dropped to their knees before him and started to tug his trouser leg to distract him while four others rifled through his pockets. They took all his money and credit cards although he managed to hold onto his passport and mobile phone.

A 32-year-old neighbour of Joanna Yeates appeared in court on Monday charged with her murder and has been remanded in custody. He had been arrested last Thursday and police were allowed extra time to question him over the incident. He lived in the flat next door to Jo Yeates in Bristol. Vincent Tabak is a Dutch citizen who speaks three languages, including English, fluently and gained both a Masters and PhD engineering degrees in Eindhoven. He was working for a firm of architects in Bath, Somerset. He was only asked to confirm his name age and address on Monday and the date for trial will be announced later although his lawyers will be requesting release on bail in the meantime. Forensics specialists have been examing the flat Mr Tabac shares with his girlfriend, Tanja Morson.

Don’t lose your music Around one third of all household insurance policies in the UK will not cover you if you lose all the downloads on your iPhone if it’s stolen, as the policies do not cover holders for loss of data.Furthermore, only three of the many online music companies will allow people to redownload all their tracks free of charge. The cost of having to pay again for 1000+ tracks would be phenomenal so householders should check with their insurance company to make sure loss of data is covered.

Unhealthy lifestyle to blame The World Health Organisation has blamed the unhealthy lifestyle of Britons for the high incidence of breast cancer within the UK. However, it was Denmark who topped the league table with 326 people out of every 1000 developing cancer every year, thought to be due to their regular screening and therefore detecting the disease in more people than in other countries.

Local News Winter returns with a vengeance Last week’s mild temperatures left people totally unprepared for the savage cold spell which swept down from the north of Europe over the weekend, covering the higher areas of the province in snow. People living on the coast did not have to go as far as Granada to enjoy snow – it was just up the road to Ronda, where temperatures have hovered around zero degrees or below for several days. Night and day temperatures throughout the province have rarely been more then four degrees apart. By Monday, the wind took centre stage, causing an orange alert along most of Andalucia’s coastline which was battered by waves four metres high in places. The fishing fleet stayed in port and the ferry to Melilla was

suspended. Many beach bar owners in Malaga closed on Monday while they built barricades of rocks to protect their establishments from waves that seemed determined to invade they city. Outside the capital, Marbella and Estepona were the towns most

affected by the wind, which literally blew away the sand from the beaches there. Meanwhile, where it wasn’t snowing it was raining dismally. The weathermen say temperatures are not likely to rise during the next few days, although the rain will gradually move away.

Protest against ‘string pulling’ More than 50,000 public sector workers turned out on Saturday in Seville in protest that around 20,000 people had been given fixed contracts in public companies without having had to sit the obligatory examination that goes with public sector jobs in other parts of the country. The Junta de Andalucia

abolished the exam six months ago which, the protesters said, favoured the Junta’s “friends”. This is known colloquially as “enchufismo” or string pulling. One of the organisers said that when so many people turned out for a protest, despite the weather, it meant that “the

Five arrested in smoking disturbances two people were arrested in Abolete, Granada province, last week when a fight started at a bar after a waitress asked a client who lit up to go outside to smoke. Three other clients backed her up and the smoker waited outside the bar for them to leave. In the ensuing fight, two people received knife wounds. In Velez-Malaga, Local Police were set upon last Friday when they told three men to stop smoking in a

bar. They refused to obey the police and told them to “go look for drug dealers”. One man said: “Either have a coffee or leave, all I’m doing is smoking a cigarette because I feel like it”. When the police tried to take him in, two of his friends attacked them and all three ended in a jail cell.

Profile of killers Guardia Civil psychologists are working on the profile of whoever murdered 13year-old Maria Esther Jimenez Villegas, found dead last Thursday in a hut just outside the village of Arriate, north of Ronda. She had been missing since the previous evening. She had been hit on the forehead with a rock which was found near her body. Police said the method of killing and the evidence left in the hut indicated the killing was “improvised” and had probably been perpetrated

by someone from the village. DNA samples have been taken from some villagers. A funeral mass attended by villagers was held on Saturday.

Junta is in the wrong, not us”. Many protesters carried banners that read: The politicians and nappies have to be changed often”. Union representatives said public sector workers who had taken a 5% cut in salary are no longer prepared to put up with the practice.

First fines for street sex Local Police in Malaga city took action against 25 prostitutes last week for having sex with clients within 200 metres of commercial or residential areas, under the new law that entered into force at the beginning of January. All the women were working near the port or in the Guadalhorce industrial estate on the city’s outskirts. The women face fines of up to €1,500. So far no action has been taken against their clients. One prostitute, a Rumanian, criticised the police for taking immediate action when the law states they should first be warned to desist. City Council policy is that the women should be warned about the new law during January before any action is taken.No police raids or roundups were planned and the women who face fines had already been warned on an earlier occasion.

Arenas will cut top posts ‘by half’ the chairman of the Partido Popular in Andalucia, Javier Arenas, told the party’s national convention in seville on sunday that if he wins the regional election in May he will reduce by half the number of top posts in the Junta de Andalucia in his first week in power. He also said he would reduce the number of departments to ten. Javier said the people of Andalucia were not afraid of change but rather of the same people remaining in the regional government. The latest opinion poll

published on Monday showed that the PP was within a whisker of winning a majority in the regional election in May. Andalucia has been governed by the Socialist Party since it was made an “autonomy” 30 years ago when the central

government in Madrid started a wide-ranging return of powers to Spain’s 17 regions. Many political observers believe the loss of Andalucia could prove to be a mortal blow for the Socialist Party.

British extortionists arrested Police arrested four Britons in Mijas last week on charges of demanding protection money from their compatriots. The operation began at the end of last year with reports that a newly arrived group

of Britons were demanding between €5,000 to €60,000 from wealthy foreigners, preferably British, under threat of harming them or their families. The men, all in their early 40s, were staking out the homes of

their victims. The police were able to act when the men approached a victim a second time to demand more money, after which the unidentified victim reported the extortion.

'Lost’ pre-Inca skull to go home to Peru A 2,000-year-old pre-Inca skull which was on show in the Peruvian Pavilion at the Iberoamerican Expo held in Seville in 1929 has been found, 80 years after it went missing.

The skull was handed over to Prof Picabea and his colleague Jesus Ambrosiani, who were able to verify that the

Mystery of explosion solved On December 8th 1931, when the people of the small town of Arroyomolinos de Leon in Huelva province heard a huge bang they thought that the Civil War had already started and that the town was being bombed. They saw a big ball of fire in the sky which exploded over the town, breaking window panes and cutting off the electricity supply. Some walls also fell down. Scientists at the time said it must have been a meteorite. Now Murcia University researcher José María Madiedo has shed new light on the event. NASA records showed that as asteroid 1990HA passed close to the earth that night a piece of rock “the size of a five-storey building broke away” and it was this that exploded 16 kilometres above the town. It’s on NASA's list of asteroids big enough to cause a lot of damage if they collide with the Earth. One such collision is believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

The skull, which belonged to a male aged around 30, turned up at the city’s University, “thanks to a chain of lucky coincidences”, according to Leandro Picabea, a professor of legal medicine at the university. When the expo ended, the Peruvian consul in Seville, for reasons known only to himself, left it with a doctor, who kept it until his death 30 years later. His widow gave it to the director of Seville’s Archaeological Museum who in turn eventually sent it on to the Department of Anatomy at Seville University. By this time another 50 years had passed.

Mayors resign en masse Seven mayors in the province have so far resigned for a variety of reasons, the Socialist Party's provincial secretary, Francisco Gonalez Cabaña, told reporters last week. “Socialist mayors are very sensitive and municipal politics are very stressful”, he explained. He said it was unusual to have so many mayors drop out at the same time but it was not a case of abandoning the ship. “Most of them want to make way for the new generation”, he said. MALAGA

2,000 retake driving exam Almost 2,000 Malagueños have had to take courses to get back their driving licences after losing all their points. Last year just under half of the 156,545 fines issued in the province were for speeding, which carries a fine of up to €600 and the loss of six points. The course costs €184 and the new licence €350 – prohibitive enough in these economic times to make some drivers think twice before pushing the pedal to the metal. ANDALUCIA

Attack number tip of iceberg Of the 451 incidents in which health centre staﬀ were attacked by patients last year, just under half took place in Andalucia and La Rioja, according to the Medical Association. A spokesman said the figure was just the tip of the iceberg because there were indications that not all the incidents were reported. July was the worst month for the attacks, of which more than than half involved male doctors aged 46 to 55, usually because the patient was refused a prescription.

Voice Madrid

Muriel Pilkington

Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of

Will he, won’t he...

Turn oﬀ that “teletrash”

n the rare TV appearances he makes these days, Zapatero’s every word and gesture is being studied, dissected and discussed as people try to work out if he’ll stand for re-election in March 2012. And if he decides not to, bets are already being made in some quarters about when he’ll make the announcement – tomorrow, next week, before the May regional and local elections, the end of this year or just before the general election.

apatero himself said during a television interview on Monday that the Socialists stood a chance of winning the general election and bandied about a lot of percentages. What many people fail to realise is that power is everything to this man, who also has a remarkable capacity for ignoring reality. I don’t see how he can cling to power if the economic news gets worse, as is likely, and not better, as the socialists seem to believe.

ut having read the latest character analysis about Zapatero in a recently published book called The Moncloa Syndrome, I’m almost persuaded that he intends to lead his party into the next election because he really believes he can win it. He obviously is so removed from reality he hasn’t heard what everyone, including Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy, is saying out loud – that deputy PM and interior minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba will be the candidate.

n the book, author Pilar Cernuda blames the location of the Moncloa Palace, the PM’s official residence, for the fact that its occupants tend to lose touch with reality. Unlike 10 Downing Street, the Elysee Palace and the White House, which are all in the heart of their cities, the Moncloa Palace is situated 12 miles from the centre of Madrid and, being surrounded by large gardens, there is no view of the city from any of its windows. Hence the occupant’s tendency to create that reality in his own mind.

ccording to Moncloa staff members who served under all the prime ministers who’ve occupied the Palace since 1977, the two Socialist occupants were the most divorced from reality.

y the end of his fourth term in government, Felipe Gonzalez had turned into a very practised liar in the belief that he had to tell people what they wanted to hear. However, Jordi Sevilla, who was close to Gonzalez and would later serve in Zapatero’s first government, told the author that the Moncloa syndrome was nothing more than the fact that all the PMs were surrounded by men and women who never contradicted them.

f this is true, then we have real problems with Zapatero who, according to people close to him, was very egocentric from the day he was elected general secretary of

La Moncloa Palace

the Socialist Party way back in 2000. Instead of fomenting harmony among his team of close collaborators, he seemed to go out of his way to create confusion. The author gives the example of Jesus Caldera and Jose Blanco who played a key role in getting to where he is now. He never explained clearly what he wanted from them, apparently expecting them to read his mind, which ended in a strained relationship between the two men. Zapatero made them ministers, no doubt to make up for all the stress he’d caused them. Another man close to him told Zapatero just months after he won the 2004 election: You are as high-handed now as Gonzalez and Aznar were only towards the end of their terms.

nd despite Zapatero’s claim to being good-natured, the same collaborator said that once a minister had been relieved of his or her portfolio, they never heard from their former boss ever again.

nd far from being a man of the people, he can be quite despotic. The collaborator recalls an incident that took place in August 2008. Zapatero and his wife like to visit the Doñana nature reserve when they spend part of the summer holiday in Sanlucar de Barrameda, as they do most years. The quickest way to Doñana from the town is by ferry and that day in August, passengers on board waiting to return to Sanlucar were horrified when some Guardia Civil got on board and kicked them off – so that the PM and his wife could have it all to themselves. The unlucky visitors had to wait an hour for the ferry to come back and collect them.

he ferryman was heard to say, “this would never have happened with Felipe (Gonzalez)”. However, it must be admitted that some people blame Zapatero’s rather stuck-up wife for such unpleasant incidents, of which there have been a few over the years.

o here we have a man who believes only what he wants to believe, and does as he pleases. And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he stuck it out until the general election, to lead the party into a resounding defeat that it will take it years to recover from. But that’s the Socialists’ problem, not ours.

arlier this month, Telecinco’s controversial, but popular, late Friday night gossip talk show Sálvame Deluxe broadcast a segment with a couple who were invited to discuss their kinky sexual practices. The man was dressed from head to toe in a rubber outfit with his face entirely covered. He assured the audience that he was a male sex slave, but some minutes into the programme the man proudly confessed to being a wife-beater and admitted that he had served time in jail for the crime. Panellists as well as members in the audience moaned in protest, and the show’s host, Jorge Javier Vázquez, immediately escorted him off the set and received a round of applause. Whether the entire stunt was set up or whether the man indeed caught the show’s producers off guard, it should never have occurred.

ith the alarming number of cases of gender violence, including murder-suicides, on the rise in Spain, there is no excuse for trying to win a ratings-grabber. Laura Seara, the head of the Institute for Improving Women’s Image, telephoned Telecinco to lodge a formal complaint against the programme. Last year, the institute filed 1,696 complaints with the network because of the content of various programmes, including Sálvame Deluxe, but the bawdiness continues. But it may not be for long. The prime minister’s Cabinet chief Ramón Jáuregui has announced that the government is considering creating a regulatory body, as in other European countries, where citizens can file complaints against broadcasters who continue to transmit defamatory and questionable programmes. Referring to “teletrash” shows, such as Sálvame Deluxe, Jáuregui said the government was getting tired of the "trivialization" of the public airways, and with the introduction of "certain personalities who have little merit as role models.” He didn’t give any names.

he television and radio stations have already launched their offensive, charging that the government wants to impose precensorship rules. Even the conservative Popular Party, which prides itself on traditional values, also says that the Socialists want to curtail freedoms. “The proposed creation of a State Council for Audio-Visual Media, in the way that it is being developed, is a threat to freedom of information and expression, and that is the only reason why the government wants to introduce it,” said PP Deputy Miguel Ángel Cortés, the opposition party’s spokesman for telecommunications in Congress.

ortés seems to overlook that the ultra-conservative side in this country have their own idol in the form of Federico Jiménez Losantos, the radio commentator whose daily insults

Telecinco’s logo

against the Socialists, the victims of terrorism, and even ailing former Prime Minister Adolfo Suárez, who cannot defend himself, leave a lot to be desired. Hate commentary is one of the major culprits of the current political tensions that have unfortunately led to violence and other acts of disorderly conduct in this country, such as the recent flare-ups in Murcia , where a cultural official was beaten up by still-unknown assailants.

n 1934, the Federal Communications Commission was created in the United States to regulate broadcast licensing. By the 2000, the FCC actively began cracking down on transmissions it deemed were indecent or incited hate. A viewer or listener can file a complaint against any broadcaster through the internet on the FCC website. It is that simple. The commission conducts a preinvestigation to determine whether to open a case against the radio or television station, which, depending on the outcome, can result in a warning, fine or, in rare extreme cases, revocation of their broadcasting license. Although the process is cumbersome and can take time, it works. In 2004 – the last year in which figures are available from the FCC for the entire period - $7.9 million in fines were issued after the commission received more than 1.4 million complaints for 314 radio and television programmes in the United States .

pain’s Media Consumers Association (AUC) has applauded the government’s move to create a regulatory body that will monitor indecency on “teletrash” and other programmes. The group believes that Spain is one of the few countries that “doesn’t sufficiently guarantee” the rights of television viewers when it comes to protecting minors. In the six years that I have been living and working in Spain, local television programmes have been getting bolder by the day, with the proliferation of shows where risqué subjects are discussed that don’t educate or entertain but only serve to shock and offend certain minority groups as well as the general public. It is time to change that dial.

A children’s park and play area on El Rodeo in Coin has been vandalised by thoughtless British youths. How do we know they are British? Because the names graffiti'd on the children's slide and tunnel etc are British! They are: Sam M, Mackenzie,Michael,Vicki, Josh, Perdy, Jake, Tobi, Anver, Sam, Sasha, Leigh, Sophie, Harley, Derice, Lucy, Amanda, Jack, George, Jenna and Gabi. Of course, not all of them will have been graffiti'd by the people themselves but, on kid's play equipment.....please! So far the Brits have been very well tolerated and even welcomed in the Coin area. This is just the sort of thing

that will rightly seriously upset the Spanish. The area has clubs for mums and babies, toddlers and all sorts of things for older people to do but what about the 11 to 19-yearolds? Parents say they are bored because they don't work here and teens are bored stiff with nothing to do so, parents, why not club together and run a youth club with sports and activities that they would enjoy, to give them something to do while getting rid of your own boredom – you won't be bored if there are young people around and they'll keep you young while you're at it.

You can slightly reduce (but not extinguish) the claw for need conditioning by keeping its claws cut. Ask your veterinary nurse how to do this, if you’ve never done it. If your cat likes catnip, try scenting the post with it to get the kitty interested. Praise it and give it treats when it scratches the right thing. It is said that vertical stripes, using a felt tipped pen, up and down the post, encourage scratching. If your cat is scratching at a horizontal surface, not a vertical one, or if it is using the stairs as a scratching area, you can make a DIY horizontal surface by covering a breeze block in carpet. If cats scratch wallpaper, you can fix a piece of carpet to the wall for scratching – fix it securely. According to Vicky Halls, cat expert, loop weave carpet is best! scratch cats Some indoors, because they have failed to learn how to scratch trees out of

doors. Spray catnip on tree trunks, in dry weather, if the cat likes catnip. Reward the cat with treats when you see it scratching a tree. Even so, it will probably still need to scratch indoors as its main territory is indoors. If your cat scratches in more than one room, install a post in each room. In the house as a whole there should be one post per cat – and one extra. DON’T CHANGE THE SCRATCHING POST If possible never change the scratching post. The messier and tattier it is, is it more the impregnated with the “Scratch me’ message. You may prefer a new scratching post. Your cat won’t. Don’t move the post. Cats like things to remain the same. If you MUST move it, move it about two inches every three days, making sure the cat is still using it before the next small move. Part 3 next week.

Robert Mead I am now living on the Costa del Sol permanently, I've been a very keen follower of Motocross in England and, with many friends coming out here in February every year practising on tracks,

by email namely one near Coin and Cartama, I was wondering if you have come across - or know of a contact that we can find where local meetings are held as we also cannot find any reports in local papers

about any meetings. I hope that you or one of your readers may be able to shed some light on this matter for me. Please email me at rmead99@yahoo.co.uk

Peter Warburton Marbella Firstly, let me say that I love living in Spain and I love the Spanish people - I wouldn’t be here otherwise. However, I cannot understand the attitude here in Spain in respect of small businesses. I have run a company here on the coast for the best part of the last ten years and we all realise that there is a recession on but help from the Spanish banks and the Government is nil. I employ twenty people, some English but mostly Spanish, for whom I pay Social Security every month. Do the banks and authorities realise that, if my business goes down, they’ve got another twenty people on the dole taking money each month from the

Elaine Elliot

country’s coffers? Surely it would be better to support small businesses, of which there are many, during these difficult times thereby ensuring people’s jobs and the future employing potential these businesses represent. I spoke to my bank manager who said that he was very pleased with the amount of business we are putting through his bank but then told me that he cannot lend any money as his head office won’t allow him to. The Government tell us that there are all manner of grants available. Well, if there are, I’ll be blowed if either myself or my accountant can find one that, after jumping through all the necessary hoops, doesn’t

have some clause or another meaning that your business doesn’t come under its criteria for help. I have spoken with other business owners all along the coast that have found the same thing and it would seem that Spain just doesn’t want small businesses to survive unless you happen to be building roads, roundabouts or humps in the road to damage your car on! Oh yes, and to cap it all, if my company does go to the wall, although I pay my own Autonomo’s Social Security of over €250 every month good as gold, I won’t get any dole as I’m self employed. Some incentive for people to get off their backsides, start a small business and give people jobs that is! NOT!!

Tourists watch out! We have heard a lot recently about illegal workers here in Spain - well it is also happening in the tourist sector. Some people think that all they have to do is have some leaflets printed and drop them round bars, cafes and other tourist establishments to sell excursions. Not true.... of course they need to have all the proper licences and paperwork. It costs a lot of hard work and finance to set up a travel agency. The licence number to operate as a travel agency is called a cian number and is always

Andrew Coates Just a quick line to keep you up to date. I have found "Fresh" chives at two outlets here. Iceland, tho they are not well packed and consequently can be a bit off. and Hipercor, where they are better packed and consequently fresher. The Iceland ones are in 25gr packs

printed on flyers and paperwork. Some unscrupulous workers are even putting fake numbers on their flyers because the tourists don't realise who they are and they are not expected to arrive here carrying the latest edition of the laws in Spain.These people are

putting the lives of tourists at risk because, of course, they do not have any insurance. They are also de-frauding the local government out of taxes and social security payments. The general public ought to be made aware of this for their own safety. We all like a bargain...but at what cost.

By email at 1.88euros. The Hipercor are in 20 gr packs at 1.50euros.I have tried both. The Hipercor ones were by far the best. Due largely I think to the superior packaging. I used 3 packets 60gr - rather expensive, but the result was well worth it. The taste was superb.So now I know, I have an order in for

some Chive plants from a man at las Palomas market, then I shall be able to continue making this loaf at a more reasonable cost. Editor says: Thanks for the info Andrew. Chives are one of the herbs that lose most of their flavour when dried. I will pass this on to our readers.

How high is Space? I took my 6 year old granddaughter Chloe outside the other night to look at the stars and she asked me ‘Grandad, how high up is space?’ It’s quite difficult to measure it exactly because space is defined as being outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. But the atmosphere doesn’t just stop abruptly at a certain height. On top of Mount Everest for example, which is about 5 miles high, you would need breathing equipment as the air is so thin. But aeroplanes like Concorde fly at over 11 miles high so there is some air at this height for them to fly in. At about 15 miles up, the sky turns from blue to black and the stars appear even though it is still daylight. Weather balloons can reach heights of over 30 miles. Shooting stars or meteors are caused by tiny pieces of rock hitting the atmosphere and burning up at more than 50 miles high and the Aurora Borealis or Northern lights are caused by radiation from the Sun reacting with the upper atmosphere at about 70 miles. NASA awards its astronaut wings to anyone going above 50 miles although technically you would still feel a very slight air resistance, so other agencies have set the boundary at 62 miles high. At this height aeroplanes cannot function as the air is so thin it cannot produce lift. Meteorologists will tell you the atmosphere ends 600 miles (1000 kilometres) up, but even at half that distance air molecules are few and far between. Recently, with data from a new instrument developed by scientists at the University of Calgary, scientists confirmed that space begins 73 miles above Earth's surface. NASA's mission control uses 76 miles as their re-entry altitude because that's where the shuttle switches from steering with thrusters to manoeuvring with aerodynamic surfaces. The returning space shuttle uses the Earth’s atmosphere to slow it down from its flight speed of 17,500mph to landing at 250mph, it has no engine to slow it

down and if it misses the runway it cannot go around a second time. Others point out that the "Now Entering Space" sign should be posted way out at 13 million miles because that's the boundary where Earth's gravity is no longer dominant. The International Space Station flies at a height of 250 miles. Now this may sound like a lot but the distance from Birmingham to London is about 250 miles, so if you stood this distance on its end then you can see it’s not very high at all. Satellites that orbit the Earth are at various heights depending on what their role is. Photographic reconnaissance satellites are fairly low at between 200-300 miles high while geostationary satellites such as weather satellites and sky TV that have to remain in the same place in relation to the Earth can fly at several thousand miles high. Richard Branson will soon be offering flights for around £100,000 on his Virgin Galactic service. In a tiny ‘Space Plane’ tourists will go into space on what is known as a sub-orbital flight. For about 15 minutes they will see the sky turn black, the curve of the Earth’s surface and feel the effects of weightlessness. I don’t know if they will be charged a pound though to use the toilet like a certain UK airline was thinking of doing. At this point Chloe had gone indoors and was watching Cbeebies on TV… Kids!

e world of Dali - a fantasy that comes alive in Catalunya Written by Andrea MacLean

A new museum dedicated to the fantastical and absurd genius of Salvador Dali has just opened in St Petersburg,Florida and it will be a permanent home to the most comprehensive collection of Dali’s work in the world.

o if you are off to Florida on holiday then the splendidly striking museum, designed by world renowned architect Yann Weymouth, will be a must-see. The heart of the collection was acquired by Ohio philanthropists Albert Reynolds and Eleanor Morse – the couple were long standing friends of the artist’s, bought their first painting in 1942 and collected Dali’s works throughout their lives.

ut you do not have to travel to Florida to be enthralled and amazed by the mad surrealism of Dali. St Petersburg is now set to be twinned with the artist’s hometown, Figueres in Catalunya, which boasts the world famous Dali theatre museum, designed by the artist himself and where his body was buried in the

basement crypt when he died in 1989.

t’s Spain’s most visited museum after Madrid’s Prado and the Guggenheim in Bilbao and has a rich, colourful history that is tightly woven into the fabric of 20th century Spain. Figueres itself is a great place to stay for those visiting the region. It’s an attractive little town with a charming Rambla and, apart from the museum, it’s most famous for the huge 17th century Castell de Sant Fernand. It was billed as the largest castle in Europe,played its part during the Napoleonic wars and was the reason why Figueres became the dominant town in the region.

n the 20th century it was the last bastion of the

Republicans in the Spanish Civil War when the town became their capital after the fall of Barcelona. Earlier it had been used as a barracks for newly arrived members of the International Brigade before they moved on to Barcelona and the front. Franco’s forces bombed it and the town with great ferocity, destroying many buildings. Among them was the town’s municipal theatre, which lay in ruins for decades before Dali bought the remains, and created his masterpiece. The castle’s other claim to fame is that it acted as a prison for Colonel Tejero, following his failed coup attempt in 1981.

ali was born in Figueres in 1904 and held his first exhibition when he was 14 years old. In the early 1960s he

decided to construct his museum inside the ruins of the municipal theatre and his fantastical creation was completed in 1974. Visiting museums with teenage girls (or boys) in tow is always fraught. But if you fancy a museum visit with something for all the family, then this is the place. The teenage girls in question had made it clear they would rather be beaten with sticks than spend a hot day inside an art museum – until they clapped eyes on the building.

he building was designed as an exhibit itself and takes the breath away – topped by a huge metallic dome, terracotta pink walls, the roof line studded with giant eggs, bronze mannequins clinging to the roof ready to swoop down, imitation

giant bread rolls clinging to the walls – all astonishingly set against the Catalunyan sky, and designed to overwhelm the senses and entice you through the door. Inside is the broadest range of works spanning Dali’s artistic career as well as works created especially for the museum, including the Mae West Room, the Wind Palace Room and the Rainy Cadillac. The collection also includes works by other artists, including El Greco.

t’s as mad as a box of frogs – and completely captivating. And the teenage girls loved every sublime moment of it – and of course, insisted on getting the tee-shirt at the museum shop.

here is nearby a slice of history that stretches

much further back than Figueres and its castle – and it should definitely be on the list of things to see in the area. From Figueres you are a short car ride away from L’Escala, a small resort on the Gulf of Roses – nearby is the spectacular archaeological site at Empúries, which has extensive remains of both the ancient Greek port and the later Roman invaders. There are ruins of temples, cisterns, remains of streets and houses, remains of luxurious villas and magnificent mosaic floors – a word of warning though. This definitely lacked appeal for teenage girls! The whole of this area is fascinating – small medieval towns, lovely beach resorts, more Dali at the once hugely fashionable Cadaques – so much to see and do, and in such a small area of Spain.

e Black Swan BY DARREN ARONOFSKY Starring Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder

email: info@coinlife.info web: www.coinlife.info

CONTINUED…

A Nina Sayers (Portman) is a young dancer with the New York City Ballet who is gearing up for the production of Swan Lake choreographed by the charismatic Thomas Leroy (Cassel). He is looking for a replacement for ailing star Beth (Ryder) but his new star must not just possess the virginal grace of the White Swan.She must be able to reach into herself, into the darker recesses, if she is to demonstrate the sensuality and seductiveness needed to dance the Black Swan. Nina lives an isolated

life with her off-the-wall mother (Barbara Hershey) a dancer who gave up her own career and now lives obsessively through the career of her daughter. So the scene is set for a steep downward spiral as the pressure on Nina to get in touch with her darker side builds and her mental state becomes ever more fragile. She begins to hallucinate and the rash

on her back looks like it has sprouted black, swanlike feathers. It’s a psychological thriller which veers into the territory of horror and Portman’s performance has made her a pointe shoe-in for a slew of best actress nominations and awards. The ballet scenes are

beautifully filmed – even Arlene Philips has praised Portman’s dancing – but whatever you do, don t take your ballet mad young daughter to see it. Some critics reckon that it’s straight out of the Ken Russell made-to-excess stable, and it has received pretty unanimous plaudits. But is is definitely adult entertainment.

Razzies set the scene for Oscar The Razzie Awards – the Golden Raspberry – were announced on Sunday night with some surprise contenders. Jennifer Aniston is up for worst actress for both The Bounty Hunter and The Switch. Now, the former is understandable, but The Switch is a perfect Sunday afternoon daft rom-com. Her competition for the award includes all four of the Sex and The City 2 gals. Jack Black has been nominated for worst actor for his current release Gulliver’s Travels. He is facing Gerard Butler (The Bounty Hunter) and, rather surprisingly, worldwide teen heartthrob Robert Pattinson. RPatt’s co star in Twilight Saga:The Eclipse, Kristen

Stewart, is nominated for worst supporting actress and the film is in the worst movie line-up. Not surprisingly M.Night Shyamalan’s pile of tosh The Last Airbender picks up a raft of nominations – worst movie, worst director and worst supporting actor for Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel. Don´t do it again young man. The awards are handed out on February 26th – the night before the Oscars. Last year Sandra Bullock made history for becoming the only actor to collect a Razzie (for All About Steve)

Jeﬀ Bridges in True Grit

and an Oscar (for The Blind Side) in the same year. Bullock sportingly attended the Razzie awards and reckoned her nomination must have brought her Oscar luck. At Tuesday’s Oscar nominations The King’s Speech scooped 12 nods but surprisingly The Social Network was beaten to the punch by the Coen brothers’ newly released True Grit, starring Jeff Bridges, which picked up 10 nominations. The King’s Speech picked up best picture at the weekend’s Producers’ Guild Awards -

normally a sure fire indicator for the Oscars. The ten movies in best film category also include last year’s huge animated success Toy Story 3, as well as Black Swan, 127 Hours and The Fighter. Natalie Portman has been nominated in the best actress categoryand looks a racing certainty. Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush from The King’s Speech, have both received best supporting actor nods but all eyes will be on Colin Firth to see if he can continue his success - the movie still tops the UK box office.

s I wrote previously, even though I now know that I can enjoy a Leonardo DiCaprio film, I still don’t actively seek out films that star him, I just seem to keep stumbling across him from time to time and often I really like what I see.

lood Diamond is a 2006 film that highlights a lucrative and immoral diamond trade that funds arms purchases for those fighting in the Sierra Leone civil war. DiCaprio plays a Rhodesian gunrunner who gets caught up in the chase for an enormous pink diamond that is found by a prison labourer played by the very fit Calvin Klein underwear model Djimon Hounsou, who is forced to work in the diamond mines having been captured when rebels razed his village to the ground and massacred the rest of the villagers. As DiCaprio and Hounsou escape and try to make their own diamond deal, they are tracked by local warlords and diamond dealers chasing the stone. The film has been criticised by the diamond industry who say that since measures were brought in to curb the sale of so called blood diamonds they now represent less than 1% of all diamond sales. Where does Hollywood get its inspiration I wonder.

he Leo film that I most recently watched was Body Of Lies. This is such a good film that I felt I could sit and watch it again the minute it had finished. I hope they do a Body of Lies 2: The revenge, Return or something along those lines.

r DiCaprio is now in his mid thirties and starting to look more like a grown-up than a teenager and with this visual maturity comes a more believable screen presence. In Body Of Lies he plays a

CIA agent in Iraq who enlists the help of Hani Salaa, head of the Jordanian General Intelligence Department who is superbly played by English actor Mark Strong. If you´ve ever watched the family history programme on the BBC called ‘Who do you think you are’, then you’ll immediately recognise Mark Strong as the voice over artist but in Body Of Lies he plays a cool, sophisticated Middle Eastern spook with great ease.

ussell Crowe also stars in Body Of Lies as a podgy and remote CIA director who thinks he has the upper hand on terrorists because his command of modern spy technology is so complete. After two terrorist attacks in Sheﬃeld and Manchester, Leonardo Dicaprio’s character realises that the terrorists are returning to traditional methods of communication that render phone, email and SMS tapping useless, giving them the upper hand in the war on terrorism being orchestrated by an overweight American agent who directs his ‘troops’ by mobile phone from the comfort of his home or while dropping the kids oﬀ at school.

ypically the lead character falls for a local girl and after a tense capture and timely rescue by the Jordanians, he ultimately goes native, leaving the CIA boss without Ferris’ skills on the ground. It is refreshing to watch a Hollywood film that sees American superiority bow down to low-tech local intelligence and the collective superiority of Arab allies.

haven’t yet seen Inception or Shutter Island, both of which I would like to see . Maybe I have ‘gotten over’ my dislike of DiCaprio as an actor as the Americans would say.

Make sure you are ready for anything because literally anything can happen right now. If you let go of your need to control a situation you will find there are many opportunities around you that you could take advantage of. Your instincts are at an all time high allowing you to literally sniff out beneficial openings and make your move. With regard to a relationship – an important matter may be brought out in the open so that you can take corrective action. News from someone from your past could reach you this week giving you the initiative to move forward with a plan that you had put on the back-burner. Changes need to occur now and there are some things that are totally within your power to do that will have knock-on benefits for others. Efforts you have been making are starting to bear fruit, something finally clicks and you view a situation completely differently - this change encourages your motivational instincts. There is one situation that you wish desperately to be resolved but someone is dragging their feet which results in a delay. If you focus less on the outcome and more on the steps to get you there the whole situation will feel less stressful. Very soon you are about to experience the benefits of standing your ground and holding your own. A certain piece of perfect timing will prove itself to be true especially when it comes to contracts and commitments. Agreements regarding a property matter could be realised by the end of the week - although the result may not be quite what you had anticipated, at least you will know where you stand. News that you have been awaiting to do with a partner’s career could reach you mid week, allowing you to plan more easily. There is a lot going on in various sectors of your life so be careful that you do not over-commit, taking on too much. Use your people skills to delegate - particularly this week. There could be something to celebrate by the weekend - so put that bottle of bubbly on chill. Jupiter is playing a dominant role in your life and although others may think that you are taking risks, you are probably using information from the past to help you benefit right now. The travel bug is likely to take hold and you could consider spending more time abroad to aid another. Offers are coming in thick and fast so expect to be taken way out of your comfort zone. Don’t allow another to push you before you are ready to commit. You know what pace you feel comfortable at moving and you also know the likely impact on others of making this decision. If you are considering a new venture make sure that you have costed in all expenses and hidden charges - take your time. There are still too many unanswered questions to feel reassured. Shortly you will be reminded how strong you are and you will feel that inner self confidence rise.

The waiting is the hardest part but that is the place that you find yourself now, waiting for your ship to come sailing back home loaded with goodies. Don’t let that uneasy grip of fear take hold which makes you doubt what you know to be true.

Occupy September 23rd - your mind with other things until that time, refocus your energies. nd October 22

An impatient Scorpio is quite an alarming sight - no matter how frustrated you feel, the results of some kind of test are not going to appear any quicker. A decision may have been taken on your behalf without you being aware. However, there is nothing you can do to reverse the course of action that has now started. It is exposing what in your life is not quite right and with this positive information you will have the power to fix the problem. A very productive week could ensue.

SAGITTARIUS Don’t be surprised to find yourself not only in the limelight but at the top of your game this week, with all looking to you to take up the leadership role. It will become clear that no matter how others enjoy talking about what needs to be done it is you that has to be the action motivator to actually get it done. By the weekend family matters will take centre stage - this may require you going on a November 22nd - short journey that connects you emotionally to the past. December 21st

CAPRICORN You are being encouraged to move into the fast lane but it takes you a while to get into gear. Be careful therefore, that you do not rush an initial project and make mistakes. Those that have sped on ahead will be pleased that you arrived a little late but brought with you a perfect contribution. Far better than to arrive on time with nothing to show or add to the proceedings. The weekend could nd December 22 see you blitzing your house, giving it a major spring clean. January 19th

Accepting a schedule that is not to your liking is something that you may have to do to get the end result. Whatever you disagree with, it is important to bear in mind the bigger picture that will be of the greater benefit to all. In other words this is not the time to split hairs. Legal matters could be looming and an authority figure is likely to make a final decision on a matter that needs resolution. Just remember that you are fully equipped to handle this situation.

The word loyalty could come up this week and it is important to realise that to be loyal is an emotion that is backed by a strong feeling - it is not a logical thought process. There is an issue that gives you a moral dilemma – you could be confided in to keep a secret and yet you know this information will save another from heartache. There could be contact with a lawyer, priest or teacher - this person will be seeking to pick your brain with an issue that has been bothering them.

Kym’s Kitchen ...you don’t have to be a chef!

August 23rd September 22nd

by Cathy Stronach

We have at some stage in the past two years looked at the verb DAR to give Doy - I give Das You give Da he / she gives Damos we give Dan they give Now let's look at some times when dar is used as an idiom. When put together with other words it takes on a completely different meaning. Dar un paseo means to take a walk, so Doy un paseo con mis perros I go for a walk with my dogs Da un paseo - He goes for a walk Dan un paseo - They go for a walk , and so on Dar una vuelta also means to go for a walk - but be careful Dar la vuelta means to turn around Hay que dar la vuelta al final de la calle You have to turn around at the end of the street. Dar de comer means to feed Doy de comer a los animales a las siete de la tarde - I feed the animals at seven in the evening Da de comer a los niños - She feeds the children. Dar las gracias is to give thanks Dar a luz is to give birth So you see how important it is to look at the whole expression and not just the individual words Da igual means it doesn't matter Me da igual - I don't care next time we'll look at some more of these phrases and at how to use them in the past tense. Hasta la próxima - Until next time, Ya está That's it Valerie runs the Centro Idiomas Language School in Coin.

Chinese remedy to curb drinking tested The ancient remedy of taking kudzu root extract to curb drinking seems to work, according to researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brown University. In China, kudzu root extract has long been used to reduce, but not stop, alcohol consumption and dependence, but the mechanism of action has been a mystery. The US researchers asked 12 male and female volunteers to take kudzu or a placebo for nine days and then consume various quantities of alcohol so that they could evaluate alcohol-related effects. Pre-

treatment with kudzu had little or no effect on the participants' behavioural, physical or cognitive abilities, but it did cause an increase in heart rate, skin temperature and blood alcohol levels, the researchers found. They suggested that the increase in blood alcohol levels could translate into increased effects from the first alcoholic drink and delay a person's desire to drink more. They said the

fact that the participants experienced a rapid rise in blood alcohol levels when pretreated with kudzu had no apparent explanation and therefore required additional research.

Ginger can calm upset stomachs and now scientists have tested it for its possible soothing eﬀect on sore muscles.

They now plan to use MRI scans to determine if kudzu alters blood flow in the brain.

Pill slows spread of skin cancer in some cases A trial of 680 patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London, found that a new drug for skin cancer slowed the spread of the disease in 70% of the cases and was eﬀective on patients with advanced malignant melanoma. The drug, called RG7204, seeks out and blocks a genetic mutation found in half of all skin cancer cases. The study has not yet been fully published for other cancer experts to review and researchers have not disclosed how much longer patients taking the new drug

lived. However, they said it was significantly longer than those undergoing standard chemotherapy. Malignant melanoma is now the second most common cancer in young adults aged 15-34 - in the UK. Rates of melanoma are rising faster than any other

common cancer. The cancer is treatable if caught early, but survival rates are low once the cancer spreads. A spokesman for Cancer Research welcomed the study and hoped the drug would become available to patients quickly because there were very few options

Ginger, a member of the same plant family as turmeric, contains antiinflammatory compounds and volatile oils - gingerols - that have had analgesic and sedative effects in animal studies. To see if it could do the same for humans, researchers recruited 74 adults and had them do exercises meant to induce muscle pain and inflammation. Over a period of 11 days, the subjects ate either two grams of ginger a day or a placebo. By the end of trial, the ginger groups experienced

roughly 25% reductions in exercise-induced muscle pain 24 hours after a workout. In a similar study, researchers compared what happened when subjects consumed either two grams of ginger or a placebo one day and then two days after exercise. The ginger appeared to have no effect shortly after ingestion, but it was associated with less soreness the following day, leading the researchers to conclude that ginger may help ease pain and soreness, but only a day or more after a workout.

Drug reduces lung cancer deaths Drugs used to treat breast cancer may be useful in tackling lung cancer, researchers at the University of Geneva have said, after analysing data on 6,655 women diagnosed with breast cancer between 1980 and 2003. They found no significant difference in the number who developed lung cancer, but those on anti-oestrogens had a lower death rate.

Cancer Research UK said large scale clinical trials are now needed.

CELEBRITY SPOT

Desigual lay claim to Ab Fab iconic designer It’s Lacroix darling – but not as we know it. Those fashion hags Edina and Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous would be thrilled to hear the news...Christian Lacroix is back in business. The man who designed clothes that either made your head swim with desire or with colour overload nausea has teamed up with Spanish high street chain Desigual – itself recognised for its kaleidoscopic use of colours. After years of critical acclaim and catwalk success Lacroix’s fashion house went into bankruptcy in 2009 after it was

reported that that company had never made a profit in its 22-year existence. A Middle East rescue deal never came to fruition and Lacroix lost the right to design under his own name. He did go on to design uniforms and train interiors for the Tézo and TGV lines in France, and uniforms for rail operator SNCF and Air France but the

decadent days celebrated in a champagne haze a la Ab Fab seemed to be long gone. But now Lacroix, operating as “Monsieur C. Lacroix”, is collaborating with Desigual. He said of the first time he saw Desigual clothes on a girl in Paris: “...I could recognise in her a member of my own tribe. It was an explosion of colours and

patchwork under the elegant, discreet and always monotonous French sky...It was a breath of fresh air, all multicoloured, scorching, revitalising, radiating Mediterranean colours and flavours, and creeping into this global and colourless magma inhabited by zombies and clones.”

Lacroix style clothes within the Desigual universe. It’s all about uniting creativities; brains and hearts working together...As in any relationship there is a beginning. And the beginning was love at first sight.” Utterly divine, darlings – Edina and Patsy would be so proud.

Desigual said:”The aim is a breath of fresh air for the brand;

Lamp horror is a Roman relic Go for the burn Next time you are at the car boot sale pay very special attention to any vases that have been converted into lamps – you may discover a slice of history which could net you a small fortune. Retired schoolteacher John Barrett had drilled a hole in the top and bottom of a marble urn, acquired by his father, Sir Sydney Barrett, in the 1950s, so he could feed an electric cable through it. He put a lightbulb bracket on the top and completed the ugly look with a 1970s style red lampshade. It was kept in

the hallway of his home near Bath, and after his death last year auctioneers from Christies were called in to value collectable items in the house. And that’s when they made their staggering discovery – after they examined it they discovered it was a Roman urn dated to about the first century AD. They put a conservative estimate of £10,000 on the

urn, but were stunned when it sold for £445,250 to a European dealer. The head of antiquities at Christies, Georgiana Atkins, said:”It was a bit of a monstrosity ... The alterations and drill holes didn’t seem to affect the price, which was quite enormous and surprised us.”

What a find!!

An ode to a haggis... It’s that time of year when Scots throughout the world honour the life and poetry of Robert Burns and tuck into the traditional neeps, tatties and Scottish haggis on Burns Night. Here in Spain there are plenty of opportunities to pay respects to the famous son of Scotland. But in

America die-hard Scots have not been able to savour the whole taste of Burns Night since the US banned the import of haggis 20 years ago. Now the Scottish government is taking steps to persuade America to reverse the ban and a delegation of American

politicians has been invited to Scotland. Rural affairs secretary Richard Lochhead raised that matter with US authorities last year and now hopes to persuade them that it’s time to drop the ban. He said: “Scotland’s produce is amongst the best in the world and I have

asked the US Department of Agriculture officials to come here and see for themselves the high standards we have in animal health and processing. This will help them realise that our haggis is produced to the highest standards and that it’s time to allow imports to resume.”

– mop the floor More than half the people who joined a gym in the UK in the New Year will have given up going last weekend on “Surrender Sunday”. A survey by Pure Gym has shown that failed gym goers will be out of pocket to the tune of an average of £500 in unused membership for the rest of the year. A fifth of people sign up and don´t even go once. But help is at hand – because research by cleaning product company Vileda shows that a better way to burn calories is by getting down and dirty with a mop and bucket.

An hour of pushing a mop around the floor and wringing it out apparently works off 238 calories – cancelling out a bar of chocolate or two decent sized glasses of wine. To use up the same energy at the gym would mean an hour on the exercise bike or more than an hour pumping iron. Plus its a lot cheaper and can be done in the comfort of your own home. Not sure how many people in the UK – whose homes tend to be carpeted –would find an hour’s worth of floors to mop, but it’s easy peasy for those of us who live in Spain. So each time you get down to mopping the marble and tiled floors both inside and out, just think of the good it’s doing. Vileda is now researching a mop with an inbuilt calorie counter, in a bid to boost the household essential as a piece of exercise equipment.

30 n Sports & Motors Motors Flash

Read your favourite news, plus a whole lot more in

Motors Martin Brundle was in training last weekend in advance of his forthcoming return to racing in the Daytona 24 Hours next weekend, about which he is a little apprehensive. He tweeted : "I'm sharing United Autosports car

number 23 with 'Billy' [Mark] Blundell, Zak Brown + Mark Patterson. Racing against Montoya and Franchitti etc. Oh dear." He said he found it a tough race when he last did it 21 years ago, aged 30.

Budget Bond This cut-price Aston Martin, which was unveiled last week, has been designed to be within reach of ordinary motorists – or perhaps a budding James Bond on a budget. The limited edition Cygnet will

sell for £39,995 but future ‘standard’ models will cost £30,995. Japanese car giant Toyota have collaborated on the Cygnet and it is based on their green iQ super-mini. But the most expensive iQ costs only £12,065. Steve Fowler, editor-inchief of What Car? magazine, said: “[The Cygnet] is not a proper Aston Martin. There’s no Aston Martin engineering in it. It hasn’t got an Aston Martin engine under the bonnet or an Aston Martindesigned chassis. It uses Toyota running gear and a Toyota engine.Yet for the price of one Cygnet you could buy two Toyota iQs and a decent set of Louis Vuitton luggage. You could buy three iQs if you go for the more expensive special edition launch car.” Compared to the

£173,000 ($274,900) cost of an Aston Martin DBS, as featured in the 007 movie Quantum of Solace, the Cygnet is indeed a snip, and while it doesn’t look much like a traditional Aston Martin, it does carry

Frenchman Bryan Bouﬃer gave his hometown supporters plenty to cheer about after clinching the Monte Carlo Rally 2011 crown at the Monaco harbour . The 32-year-old Team Peugeot 207 driver, who hails from the nearby Drome region in France, completed the 13-stage 2011 Intercontinental Rally Championship season-opener in 3’32:55.6, finishing 0:32.5 ahead of second-placed Belgian Freddy Loix of Skoda Fabia. His success was also the 21st for Peugeot in the series.

Four seat Ferrari FF Ferrari has revealed the new FF, a four-seat, four-wheel-drive shooting brake. The Ferrari FF, a replacement for the 612 Scaglietti, is a radical shooting brake model that Ferrari says is its most powerful and versatile four-seater ever. It is intended to be Ferrari's answer to the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, and will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. It is also Ferrari's firstever four-wheel-drive car. The patented new system weighs half that of a normal 4WD setup, permanently shifting drive between the front and rear. This ensures the full 660 hp from the Ferrari FF's new

6.3-litre direct-injection V12 can be deployed. The engine is mated to a transaxle dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift gearbox. Performance will be staggering, - despite its four-seat capacity, Ferrari is claiming an exceptional 062mph time of just 3.7 seconds! The top speed is a claimed 208mph, too.

‘Hopper’ to BSB and he can’t wait

Remarkably, this is coupled with a monstrous 450-litre boot - bigger than the new Volvo V60 estate. This extends to 800 litres with the seats down. Ferrari’s 4RM four-wheel drive hardware weighs 50 per cent less than a conventional set‑up, while maintaining near perfect 47:53 weight distribution.

According to Ferrari, it “delivers record levels of performance on all terrains and all conditions via continuous and intelligent predictive torque distribution to all four wheels”. Rather than proper off-roading, however, FF owners will be able to use their cars on “low grip or snow-covered surfaces”, as well as more conventional Ferrari territory such as on the track and in city driving. The FF will also have carbon-ceramic brakes and a “magnetorheological” adaptive damping system, as featured on Ferrari’s 458 Italia.

John Hopkins says he cannot wait to get the 2011 season underway after his deal to join the MCE British Superbike Championship was officially confirmed.

the first American to win a BSB race, Hopkins is excited to be starting a new chapter in his career having been blighted by injury woes in recent years.

As expected, Crescent Suzuki has announced it will field the former MotoGP rider this year, the American following in the wheel tracks of former rival Sylvain Guintoli in making the switch to BSB with the Jack Valentine-helmed squad. Looking to become

"I am really looking forward to BSB and working with Crescent again, it will obviously be a different crew but I know they are a great group of guys and that will be a good foundation to start the season.

the trademark grille and badge. In the initial limited edition run Aston are putting out 50 black and 50 white cars.

Kaymer on top of the world.. almost Axarquia edge closer Keeping the pace, Martin Kaymer wins his third Abu Dhabi title in four years Martin Kaymer cruised his way to a closing round of 66 and successfully defended the title he won last year, at the Abu Dhabi HSBC championship on Sunday. The 26 year old led by five shots going into the final round and shot a sixunder-par 66 to finish eight shots in front of Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy. McIlroy dropped shots at the third and fifth and despite him picking up three birdies coming home, he just couldn’t keep up with Kaymer’s winning pace as the German finished the tournamentat 24-under par and only had one bogey all week long. South Africa’s Retief Goosen shot a 64 to move up to a tie for the third with Graeme McDowell who closed with a 67. England’s David Lynn and Irishman Gareth Maybin both finished in a tie for fifth. The Europeans now hold the top two positions in the world rankings for the first time since Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer

back in 1993, after Lee Westwood’s lowly finish at 64th, as World No1 Kaymer’s victory on Sunday displaced Tiger Woods as World No 2. It seems that Martin Kaymer was playing in a league of his own and felt very much at home in Abu Dhabi. When he accepted

Hole in One Paul Casey, a two-time Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship winner, sank a sensational hole-inone in the third round to earn a three-day-a-year stay, for life, at the UAE capital's opulent Emirates Palace hotel.

his well-deserved trophy, which was given to him to keep, after an incredible four years in which he has finished first, second, first and then first again, he said: “It is just a perfect golf course for me. I consider it as my home course, I always play well here. If you win straightaway it is a great start to the season. I hit a lot of fairways and my putting was amazing." Andy Macfee has twice had what he describes as "the horrible task" of telling Padraig Harrington he'd been disqualified ... and they count as two low points in his career as Senior Referee on The European Tour. Yet on both occasions, at the 2000 Benson and Hedges International at The Belfry and in Abu Dhabi, McFee said the job was made a little easier by Harrington "and the class he showed in handling both situations". "Frankly, I feel pretty humble sitting alongside people like that," said McFee, who had been informed on Thursday evening that the Tour had received an email from a viewer, followed by a second, who spied a minor

transgression by Harrington on the seventh green. McFee and his rules staff went to the TV compound and reviewed the incident. He decided not to contact Harrington until the morning, giving an opportunity to discuss the situation overnight with Tour Chief Executive George O'Grady, Chief Referee John Paramor and Grant Moir at the R&A. "At least Padraig could have a good night's sleep," quipped McFee, who ranks among those pressing hard for a change in the rules to prevent players being disqualified for signing for a wrong score when they had no idea a penalty was due. "The way I see it, the innocent penalty escalates very quickly from two strokes to disqualification when a player signs his card. I really don't like that," he said. If Harrington's transgression was clear in close-up, it wasn't visible to the player. "It's just horrible that in these circumstances, I don't think there's anything else Padraig could have done," McFee said. "Technology has done it for us.”

On his third hole - the twelfth - on day three of the Championship, Casey struck a 186-yard ace to card the sixth hole-in-one in the tournament's sixyear history. The Englishman's pinpoint effort was the event's third hole-in-one in as many days, after Søren Kjeldsen and Ricardo González achieved the same outcome at the seventh hole on Thursday and Friday, respectively. "I played a 7-iron. It was a beautiful little draw that landed about eight inches just right of the hole,” said Casey. "It probably skipped forward and jumped back into the hole - it was great to see it go in."

This was a crucial game with Granada 2004 (2nd) and Axarquia Rugby (3rd) in the Andalucian League second division, both striving to reach the promotion play-offs. With only 2 games left to play, and with only the top 2 teams going through to the playoffs, the winner was going to put themselves in a great position for the final run-in. The match was fought with great intensity, and the teams were so closely matched that the first points weren’ t scored until nearly half time, Granada scoring a try after some great backplay to go in at half time, 0-5 leaders. Axarquia raised their game in the second half and

“Billy taught me to swear” Andy Murray says his bad language on court may in part be down to listening to cassette tapes of comedy legend Billy Connolly while being ferried from tournament to tournament by his parents. "We used to listen to it all the time, from maybe like 10, 11 years old until I was up to 15, 16. My mum and dad were pretty lenient with that stuﬀ. It's probably why my language is so bad on the court," he joked. Connolly is in Australia cheering the Scot on.

Malaga lose out in seven goal thriller

SPOTLIGHT

Valencia 4 - 3 Malaga: Malaga reduced to nine men as Valencia take advantage Having to start the game with a makeshift defence including Eliseu at leftback and Rosario at centreback, Malaga began the game brightly. In the first minute Baptista broke through and forced a great save from Valencia's keeper Guaita. The good start continued and Rondon had a good chance after 9 minutes, and only a minute later Malaga deservedly went one nil up. Apono broke down the right and crossed for an unmarked Rondon to steer home. But as always seems to happen, Malaga pressed the self destruct button, Demechelis was caught napping and found himself the wrong side of Mata and bought him down in the penalty box. Demechelis was straight red carded and Mata converted the resulting penalty to level the scores. Demechelis an international defender, we shall see! Down to 10 men Malaga responded

on their 2 man advantage. Banega scored from the edge of the box following a defensive mix up putting Valencia 3-2 up with under half an hour to play.

New signing Baptista scores to give Malaga hope

well, Rondon had two chances both well saved by the Valencia goalkeeper. On 34 minutes Duda whipped in a freekick into the penalty area and the ball broke to Rondon who lashed home his shot from six yards to put Malaga ahead once again and they reached half time with the all important lead. After the break Valencia came out much more positive and after 52 minutes Soldado was put through and slotted home to bring

Valencia level. The pressure that Valencia were putting on the Malaga defence was incessant, and things went from bad to worse after Rosario got his marching orders, though maybe harshly. It highlighted the fact that at any level of football you cannot use foul and abusive language to anyone. Malaga manager Pelligrini gave him a look of distaste as he walked off. Malaga were now down to nine men and it didn't take long for Valencia to capitalise

Malaga battled forward though and after 79 minutes Baptista beat two defenders and placed his shot perfectly in the bottom corner of the goal, giving Malaga, unbelievably, hope of leaving with a point. However it was heartbreak for Malaga as in the last minute Luis Miguel found Soldado, whose pull-back was perfect for an unmarked Aduriz and he fired home to give the home side victory. Malaga's Apono was then booked in the final seconds, meaning that along with Demechelis and Rosario, he will miss next week’s important game against Real Zaragoza. Report by. Scott Forbes

Castle Stuart near Inverness has been chosen to host the Scottish Open from July this year. The prestigious event, one of the richest on the circuit, has been held at Loch Lomond since 1995 and takes place a week before the Open. Castle Stuart only opened last year and winning the Scottish Open will be seen as a major coup for the area.

Sky Sports duo are disciplined for their ‘sexist remarks’ One two for Swift & Henderson

TeamSky finish tour with a bang Ben Swift and Greg Henderson wrapped up the Tour Down Under in perfect style by sealing a remarkable one-two victory in Adelaide. The duo were catapulted into contention by a near perfect lead-out display on the final laps of the city centre circuit and romped home to earn a repeat of last year's memorable success. Senior sports director Sean Yates told teamsky.com: "It was a fantastic job by the boys and Swifty gave it the perfect finishing touch. That's two stage wins for him and a third on GC, so we're all delighted for him. "We were up against 10 of the world's top 15 sprinters today and there was a lot at stake with Michael Matthews, Matt Goss and Cameron Meyer all in contention for the GC, but this has reiterated the team's reputation as being able to deliver in these types of situations.” Report & image courtesy of: www.teamsky.com

Sky Sports duo Andy Gray and Richard Keys were stood down from Monday's game between Bolton and Chelsea after their comments about a female official. Believing their microphones were off, Keys and Gray agreed that Sian Massey and other female assistant referees "did not know the offside rule". The remarks were made before Saturday's match between Wolves and Liverpool. Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "Their comments were totally unacceptable."
