Desolation in Japan fuels nuclear debate

More than 140,000 Japanese residents were told to seal themselves indoors on Tuesday as more radioactive material was released into the atmosphere from the country's stricken nuclear plants.

It’s likely that more than 10,000 have died following the horror earthquake and tsunami and millions more are without food, water, electricity and gas.The
nuclear crisis, on the heels of the devastation which struck the northeaster coast, has sparked a worldwide debate about nuclear safety and fears of
a nuclear meltdown in Japan were causing a crisis on the stock market. The EU's energy commissioner Gunther Oettinger has called for
Europe to consider whether it can meet its energy needs without nuclear power. Continued on page 2

k.wickham@thenewsonline.es
The track we live on has been washed away again because the channel where the water is all supposed to go has filled up with mud. despite paying the town hall for the 'acequia' to be cleaned and maintained every year, in the 15 years we've been here they've only cleaned it out once and maintenance - forget it! I went to our council last week and made an official complaint, in writing as they won't do anything unless it's official and, have they done anything yet...... yeah, right, as if! However, after Japan, what’s a bit of rain in real terms? I was watching the news as a couple of vehicles were travelling along the road. The drivers must have seen what was coming as they suddenly both stopped but there was simply nowhere to go. utterly terrifying. now they’re contending with possible nuclear meltdowns. There's a meeting on Thursday at 7pm at the coin casa de la cultura about our irrigation. We’re told they’re trying to withdraw it so everyone who uses the water to irrigate their gardens around the coin area throughout the summer needs to turn up, otherwise we're likely to lose it. On a nicer note, we went to leslie's on Saturday night to try their new 'Ribs n' chicken' menu – delicious! A couple of weeks ago I was bemoaning the lack of our old identity cards. Pete Woodall of Woodies, los Boliches, has sent us a letter explaining why they were cancelled fascinating! Read all about it on the letters page.

Germany has responded to the Japanese nuclear crisis by suspending for three months a plan to extend the lives of its ageing nuclear power stations. Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government announced last year that the country's 17 power stations would close around 12 years later than planned. The German decision to suspend the controversial extended life policy for 17 power stations came after growing political pressure. Tens of thousands of people took part in demonstrations in Germany at the weekend against the Berlin government's nuclear policy. They formed a 45km human chain in the southwestern state of Baden-Wuerttemberg from Stuttgart to one of the power plants affected by the nuclear extension policy, at Neckarwestheim. After Chancellor Merkel's announcement on Monday, Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen said two plants that dated back to the mid-1970s would be shut down regardless of whether the extension was renewed in three months' time. The Swiss government announced on Monday that it was suspending its nuclear plans because
safety was its first priority. Switzerland currently has four nuclear plants with five functioning reactors and the country's regulatory authorities have now frozen the regulatory process for a further three sites. However, Polish prime minister Donald Tusk said his country would go ahead with its plans to build two new plants, noting that Poland did not have the same risk of earthquakes as Japan. In Spain, industry minister Miguel Sebastián reassured the population of the safety of the country's eight power plants, which accounted for over 18 per cent of the country's energy in 2008, while Socialist Party Secretary Marcelino Iglesias said the government's nuclear policy was unchanged. The main opposition party, the Partido Popular, was sticking to its line in favour of extending the lives of the nuclear plants. Spokesperson María Dolores de Cospedal said the PP supported the idea of an "energy mix," that included "clean renewables, others like gas and petrol, and nuclear energy- always with a focus on safety." A spokesman for the green group Equo said events in Japan showed the true "vulnerability and danger" of nuclear power. He said the damaged Japanese
WEATHER WEATHER
Emerging countries Despite Japan’s crisis, India and China and some other energy-hungry countries have said they plan to keep using their nuclear power plants and building new ones. “Ours is a very powerhungry country,” Srikumar Banerjee, the chairman of India’s Atomic Energy Commission, said during a news conference on Monday in Mumbai. Mr Banerjee said nearly 40 percent of India’s 1.2 billion people do not have regular access to electricity and “it is essential for us to have further electricity generation.“ In China, which has the world’s most ambitious nuclear expansion plans, deputy environment minister Zhang Lijun said on Saturday that Japan’s difficulties would not deter his nation’s nuclear rollout. The World Nuclear Association, an industry
trade group, said that with those two countries driving the expansion - and countries from elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East also embracing nuclear power in response to high fossil fuel prices and concerns about global warming - the world’s stock of 443 nuclear reactors could more than double in the next 15 years.

reactor is similar to the plant in Garoña (Burgos), which is due to close in 2013. However, the mayors of villages that want to host a nuclear waste storage facility were unmoved by events. Ascó mayor Rafael Vidal said the plants were built to withstand all types of accidents and that there was no risk in Spain of an earthquake on the scale of Japan's.
experts in Brussels on Tuesday, to assess nuclear safety issues. The commission said responsibility for the safety of nuclear power lay primarily with individual member states. But with nearly 150 nuclear reactors across the continent, it wanted to take stock of events in Japan, and review safety measures. However, many governments are cautious about immediate decisions, pointing out at that most of Europe is far less seismically active than Japan.

Charles and Camilla visit confirmed Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will begin an official three-day visit to Spain on March 30th, a country the Duchess has visited often in the past before she married Charles. Prince Charles has not visited Spain officially with his second wife, but he, Princess Diana and their two sons spent several days with the Spanish royal family at their summer retreat, the Marivent Palace in Mallorca, in 1987. Diana was the guest of the Spanish Royal couple on several occasions after her divorce. The upcoming Royal visit is part of what the British press are calling
a Spring tour – the couple will also visit Portugal and Morocco before they head for home on April 6th, in time to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary on April 9th. The Spanish press has noted with satisfaction that they will not be visiting Gibraltar. Their official hosts will be Crown Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia, and they will stay at the Pardo Palace, normally reserved fr visiting heads of state.
After the official lunch and dinner on the 30th, the Royal couple will split up the next day. Camilla will visit the ONCE Foundation for the Blind with Princess Letizia while Charles and Prince Felipe will visit Repsol's technology centre in the Mostoles suburb of Madrid. There will be a gala benefit dinner at the Ritz Hotel that night for one of Prince Charles's charities. They will leave for Seville
the next morning and will stay at what has been described as one of the most beautiful fincas in Spain in Illora, 30 kilometres from Granada. It is owned by Lord Douro, 96-year-old Arthur Wellsley, the 8th Duke of Wellington, who is a personal friend of Prince Charles. The two titles and the finca were granted to the first Duke of Wellington and his descendants in perpetuity
for helping the Spanish to kick Napoleon's troops out of Spain in what is known as the Peninsular War in British history and the War of Liberation here.

PM predicts better figures
Twin pandas go on show Six-month-old Po and De De, both male, were introduced to the public at Madrid zoo last week. They are the first to be born by artificial insemination outside China. Their names were chosen by children in China and Spain. Po is named after
the star of the animated film, Kung Fu Panda, and De De is the pronunciation of a Chinese character from the word Madrid in Mandarin. The twins weighed about 1.5 stone last week and eat a mixed dairy diet.
Guardia warn of fine differences A spokesman for the Guardia Civil Officers' Union warned last week that there were “contradictory” orders about the application of the new speed limit of 110 km per hour.
other are using different speeds for when the fining begins. A written instruction in 2006 orders fines to be issued at 121 km per hour on those roads where the 110 km per hour was in use.
He said some provincial traffic chiefs have opted to keep the old speed limit “until the situation becomes clearer” while
But last November, the Interior Ministry put the speed at 116 km per hour for fixed radars and 118 for mobile ones.

The union spokesman said: “Now we have motorists being fined for going over, 116, 121 and 132 (120 km per hour plus 10 per cent margin of error). He said the Traffic Guardia were not to blame because they were “merely following instructions from the government”.
Spaniards pay more for petrol Spanish motorists pay up to €1.6 billion more than the French or Germans do for petrol every year because of a lack of competition. The National Competitiveness Commission said that given the unrest in the Middle East, it was more important than ever to address the “many barriers against the entrance and expansion of new operators in the retail and wholesale segments of
the fuel market”. It urged the government to implement the recommendations it made in a 2008 report. These include simplifying the application process for new garages and allowing them to open in big shopping centres. It also said something should be done to stop petrol prices from rising sharply when the price of a barrel of crude oil goes up and to make them drop more quickly when the price of oil drops.
Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero told Parliament last week that the economy will start improving this month and that the unemployment figure will start dropping in April. He said February's unemployment figure was “not good but it was better than the February figures for 2009 and 2010”. He said that the reforms the government had made in the labour and finance sectors to make the economy more competitive would create more jobs as soon as next month. A survey taken just hours after he spoke indicated that unemployment is what Spaniards are most concerned about. Sr Zapatero has been predicting the end of the economic crisis since June 2008.

Civil war massacre revived
N
Preston, who made the claim in an article published in this month's issue of the Ebro 38 magazine, puts the number of those killed at between 2,000 and 2,500 but other historians, both Spanish and foreign, have put the figure as high as
5,000. However, the Franco regime put the number as high as 12,000 in its efforts to blacken Carrillo, who lived in exile in Moscow and Paris until 1976. After his return, Carrillo was elected to parliament in the 1977 election and played an active role in the transition to democracy, principally by having the Communist Party accept the monarchy and parliamentary democracy. The rank-and-file removed him from the leadership after the party's disastrous results in the 1982 election.

First anti-speed limit protest
Madrid when the executions took place and was only informed of them afterwards but Preston said there is evidence to indicate that Carrillo was “completely involved” in the massacre. In July 1937, the Republican justice minister Manuel Irujo ordered an investigation
into what had really happened at Paracuellos but, according to Preston, “unfortunately, none of the documents from that investigation have survived”, adding that they were probably destroyed by the Communistcontrolled security services at the end of the war.
Some 250 people gathered in the capital's central Puerta del Sol square on Sunday to protest against the speed limit reduction imposed by the government on March 7th. The protest was organised by the Movimiento 140 association which has been asking for the speed limit to be raised to 140 km per hour. Spokesman Pedro Javaloyes said the group has already collected over 35,000 signatures against the reduction and another 192,000 to have the limit raised to 140 km per hour. MADRID
Pet sector thriving Spain is experiencing a small boom in pet food and pet care products. Not only does the pet sector cater for the country's estimated 20 million pets, it exports enough pet food, medicines and grooming products to make Spain the world's seventh largest exporter.

British historian Paul Preston has claimed that former Communist Party leader Santiago Carrillo had more to do with the Paracuellos massacre than he has ever admitted. Carrillo, now 93 (pictured) and one of the last surviving protagonists of the war, was the Communist commissar in charge of public order in Madrid when prisoners suspected of sympathising with Franco were taken from jails to Paracuellos just outside the besieged capital and executed between November 7th and December 4th 1936.

Franco property to open to public The family of dictator Francisco Franco have agreed to open to the public the country estate in Meirás which was bought for the Generalísimo with funds from a voluntary public collection during the Civil War. Franco's heirs had resisted attempts by the region's previous Socialist government to open the estate but came to an agreement with the current Partido Popular regional government to allow guided tours of the small fortress on at least four days a month, to start in the near future.

Sacked executives get apology
Heavy fighting was yesterday (Tuesday) continuing in Libya between government and rebel forces for the oil town of Brega. At one point, both sides simultaneously claimed control of the town. Observers reported that rebel fighters had been hiding inside the oil installation in the daytime, in the belief that the government did not want to shell the facility. Opposition sources claimed there were divisions within the government ranks, with
some troops apparently reluctant to fire on civilians. At a meeting with Libyan Foreign Minister Moussa Kusa in the capital, Tripoli, on Monday, UN envoy Abdul Ilah Khatib, a former Jordanian foreign minister, reiterated demands for an end to the violence and requested access for humanitarian groups Meanwhile, Foreign
ministers of the G8 industrialised nations meeting in Paris discussed the crisis, but there were divisions over whether any intervention would be effective. France wants a no-fly zone that would ground Libyan aircraft to protect people from assault by forces loyal to Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, but the US, Russia and other
EU countries reacted cautiously to the no-fly zone proposal ahead of the Paris meeting. US Secretary of State Hillary of Clinton - who attended the Paris meeting - met a leader of the new opposition in Libya, Mahmoud Jibril, for 45 minutes at a hotel to discuss ways the US could assist beyond humanitarian aid.
Renault has apologised to three executives it sacked in January over spying allegations after French prosecutors found no evidence against them. The case against the men - who always vigorously denied wrong-doing - began to unravel last week with a
string of French media reports that the police had found no evidence. Renault now believes it may have been hoaxed into thinking the executives had leaked information. Beijing has denied a flurry of reports suggesting a Chinese company was involved.

Tear gas used on asylum protesters Australian police used tear gas against more than 200 asylum seekers at the Christmas Island holding centre on Monday. The predawn clash came after about 70 asylum seekers broke out of the centre on Friday and another 100 on Saturday. Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said that over-crowding and long
delays were contributing to a level of frustration and the police had used tear gas because they feared the protest had the potential to turn violent after some refugees started fires and breaking fences on Sunday night. One detainee was taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg. Refugee advocates said the
President Juan Manuel Santos has threatened to expel multinational companies who pay ransom money for the release of kidnapped employees. He said some of the 23 employees of the Canadian oil company, Talisman Energy, who had been kidnapped and later released by the narcoterrorist guerrilla group, the Farc, had reported hearing of a deal allegedly made by the company and the rebels, involving a sum of £1.64m. The company has denied paying a ransom and said it always followed Colombian law. unrest at the centre was provoked by staff attempts to find people who had known about the weekend break-outs. All those who broke out of the centre are believed to have returned. Christmas Island, off the northwest coast of Western Australia, is home to more than 2,500 asylum seekers awaiting assessment on
their cases. More than 6,500 asylum seekers arrived in Australia by boat last year, mostly from Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Iraq. Earlier this month, the government announced it would build a new immigration detention centre in the northern city of Darwin to relieve overcrowding on Christmas Island.

End-of-life row FACTORY baby moved to US CLEARANCE! A terminally ill Canadian baby has been transferred to a Catholic hospital in the United States after an Ontario court ruled that doctors could remove a breathing tube keeping him alive. His parents, Moe Maraachli and Sana Nader, defied the court order and had him flown to the Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St Louis in the US state of Missouri on Sunday. The transfer on a private jet was sponsored by Priests for Life, a US anti-abortion group which said in a statement that it had "won the battle against the
medical bureaucracy in Canada". Doctors had said one-year-old Joseph Maraachli, who is in a vegetative state with a severe neurological condition, would not recover and would die as soon as he is removed from a ventilator. The London Health Sciences Centre, where the boy has been since last October, had agreed to transfer him
to the family home before doing so, but his parents said removal of the ventilator would cause him to choke painfully to death. They asked doctors to perform a tracheotomy that they said would allow him to die more comfortably and slowly. However, the hospital said the procedure was not medically necessary and refused to authorise it.
US sued over syphilis tests Hundreds of Guatemalan prisoners, psychiatric patients and orphans who were deliberately infected with syphilis or gonorrhoea in medical tests to study penicillin in the 1940s are suing the US government for compensation.
The US apologised last year for the "reprehensible" experiments, but lawyers said the Obama administration had not responded to a request for an out-of-court compensation settlement. The tests were kept secret
for decades, until a medical historian uncovered hidden records and made them public last year. Current Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom called the tests a "crime against humanity" when they came to light.

UK News You can apply for your tickets now Five hundred days ahead of the opening, tickets went on sale yesterday for the London 2012 Olympics. As reported in The News recently, you can only purchase tickets if you have a Visa card. Although people can apply using a paper form obtainable from branches of Lloyds TSB in England, Bank of Scotland in Scotland or libraries in Northern Ireland between March 15th and April 25th 2011. Mastercard, Amex or any of the other cards just will not get you a ticket that are priced between £20 and £2,012 with oversubscribed events being decided by ballot. People will be told by June 24th in these cases what events they have gained tickets for.There are over 6 million tickets up for grabs over the next six weeks until April 26th, and Lord Coe, (pictured) Chairman of London 2012, expects the Games to be a complete sell out raising around half a billion pounds. He said: "If you look at the way we have put the price points together I think we've done that in a really smart way. I think those prices are affordable. Yes, the big ticket events are always going to be the big ticket events, but there are
plenty of opportunities to see the big stars at the lower price points." Several events will be free, such as the marathon, and 2.5 million tickets will be available for £20 and under. Others start at between £30 and £50. Children under 17 will be able to "pay-your-age" to see some of the early heats, while the over-60s can watch for £16 at the same events. Some 75 per cent - or 6.6 million - of the 8.8 million tickets are available to the general public via the application process and of the remaining 2.2 million tickets, roughly half will be issued to National Olympic Committees (NOC) of each country, and half will be split between sponsors, the IOC, guests and hospitality
partners. A further two million tickets for the Paralympic Games go on sale on September 9th. Inevitably there will be problems of ticket touting for some events but with the Government having raised the fine for touting from £5,000 to £20,000 the committee are hoping that this will be less of a problem. In Trafalgar Square in London on Monday a giant two sided clock started ticking down the time until the events. One side of the clock shows the time until the Olympics and on the other die, the time until the Paralympics. However, on Tuesday the clock from Omega stopped. Omega have apologised and, at the time of going to press, were trying to fix it.
2nd team arrives in Japan A second UK search and rescue team, acknowledged to be the best in the world, has flown to Japan to help the aid effort after the huge earthquake and tsunami. The first British team spent Tuesday clearing a large area in the city of Ofunato but no survivors were found. The Foreign Office has said it has "severe concerns" about a number of UK citizens but has not given any further details. Those
suspected
of
being in the high-risk areas are being divided into three categories - "high probability", "possibly there", and "might be". However, there have been no confirmed British
deaths at time of going to press. See front page for the rest of the news on the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

Atlantis 'under Doñana' Spanish scientists have dismissed claims by Professor Richard Freund of Hartford University in Connecticut that the lost city of Atlantis is buried under the Doñana wetlands. In Finding Atlantis, screened on the National Geographic Channel in the US on Sunday, Prof Freund contended that Atlantis was wiped out by a giant tsunami. He said that some of Atlantis's inhabitants had fled to establish similar "memorial cities" which he had identified in central Spain. The Greek philosopher Plato wrote in
360 BC that Atlantis had been destroyed by a natural disaster in 9,000 BC. Anthropologist Juan Villarías-Robles, who was part of a team investigating ancient settlements in Donaña, said Prof Freund had sensationalised their work. He said satellite photos of Donaña's wetlands seemed to show buried rectangular buildings and
concentric circles of a buried city near a beach. He said Prof Freund had been involved in the project and after he left the National Geographic and Associated Producers told the team the documentary would be finished in April or May but they did not hear any more about it. Sr Villarías-Robles also dismissed Prof Freund's
claims of the "memorial cities" and said his team would offer their own conclusions later this year. This is the latest theory in a long line of suggested locations. In the past, Atlantis has been “found” off the coast of Cyprus, on several Mediterranean islands, in Central America and even Antarctica.
JK's Matchroom Home owners in Coin is up for hopes rise after auction announcement The inland sports and music venue, JK’s in Coin, has gone up for auction from today (Wednesday). Interested parties can now register their bids from today until Saturday April 16th. On this date the highest bidder will be announced and will then take over the venue.

JK’s also hold quiz and bingo nights, pool and darts competitions, belly dancing classes and a whole range of diverse activities.
The announcement by the the Junta de Andalucia that it hoped to regularise the situation of some 11,000 illegally built properties in the Axarquia has raised the hopes of people in Mijas, Estepona, Marbella, Antequera, the Guadalhorce valley and the Ronda mountains, to name just a few places where residents
are uniting to protect their homes. In all, some 50,000 properties in the province have the threat of demolition hanging over them. Meanwhile, the Junta has announced it also hopes to regularise 11,800 properties in the Almanzora Valley and other parts of Almeria province.

First 'stolen baby' case dismissed A Malaga judge has dismissed the province's first “stolen baby” case for lack of evidence. Isabel Agüera, of Estepona, filed a claim last July that she suspected her brother had not died after her mother's Caesarean in the Hospital Civil in 1970, as the staff there claimed, but had been given in adoption to a paying family. She said she had not been able to find his grave in any Malaga cemetery and that her family were never given a death certificate. Sra Agüera said the clinic had records of her two sisters' births there, but was told that the record of her brother's birth had disappeared in the 1989 floods. An untold number of babies allegedly were stolen after birth from the end of the civil war to the late 1980s and given in adoption to paying couples. DNA tests recently united one woman with a daughter she believed to have died more than 40 years ago, and nearly 750 stolen baby cases are currently under investigation around the country.

Golf course plan approved Mayor José Garrido and urban planning councillor Jorge Gallardo met last week with the promoters of a sports and tourism complex which would include a hotel and an 18-hole golf course. The initiative apparently has the support of some members of the Junta de Andalucia, which has not issued permits for this type of project since it passed a decree regulating golf courses in February 2008. If the complex goes ahead, it will be built in the area known as El Cerrajón.

Voice Madrid
Muriel Pilkington
Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of
Tip of the iceberg
Sick statements
T
he other day, when I mentioned the possibility of the Socialist Party losing the local election here in Coin, the person I was talking to said: “Difficult, just think of all those people who owe them a “favour” of some kind or other.” And favours automatically transfer into votes – it’s the age old way of making sure you get enough of them to stay in power.
T
his has been happening in Seville – where the Junta de Andalucia has its headquarters - for the past 30 years and we’re now beginning to find out what’s been going on. Partido Popular leader Javier Arenas – who stands a good chance of being the next regional premier - has called one of the scandals emerging now as “the worst ever in the country’s 35 years of democracy”. He was referring to what the papers have dubbed EREgate, which involves a measly €647 million.
E
RE is shorthand for early retirement funds paid out of public money by the Junta de Andalucia since 2001 to companies with financial difficulties. The money enabled them to give workers early retirement or compensate them for losing their jobs. At least that was the objective on paper.
S
ome 25,000 workers have benefited from this scheme over the years but it has now been revealed that at least 59 didn’t even work for the companies who “retired” them. These included nine Socialist Party militants, the most notable being the former head of the Junta’s Labour department and a former mayor of El Pedroso. Another 87 got the pensions because of an “administrative mistake”.
A
dmittedly the figures are small but the scandal is barely three weeks old. The Socialist Party at first refused to allow an investigation into the matter but has since changed its mind, only because they were making it look like a cover-up. The biggest fish to get caught in the scandal so far is the former head of the Junta’s employment department, Antonio Fernandez (pictured), who was charged on Monday with influence peddling, embezzlement of public funds and prevarication.
A
party spokesman reminded reporters after the court hearing that according to the law, Fernandez is innocent until proved guilty and asked them not to try him in the press.
V
ery odd, coming from the party that has been leaking information about the Gurtel corruption case to the press for the past two years. Of course, the latter case involves members of the Partido Popular in Madrid and Valencia, especially the premier of the latter region, Francisco Camps. Naturally, this
behaviour has nothing to do with the fact that the Socialists have been doing everything in their power for years to wrest Madrid and Valencia from the PP. The sauce for the goose is obviously not for the gander.
T
he other scandal which is beginning to see the light of day involves misuse of EU subsidies to create jobs in Andalucia, where the unemployment rate in some areas is 30 per cent - 10 per cent higher than the national average. So far, the Attorney General and the Guardia Civil have discovered that 5,870 companies have profited from this little scam. To obtain the subsidy, the companies had to commit themselves to keep the workers on the pay roll for at least four years. In most cases, they were fired long before that, in some cases just two weeks after being hired. The companies now face charges of administrative fraud, while the Junta department responsible for controlling the subsidies denies it all.
W
ith just over 1.5 million inhabitants, Seville is the fourth largest city in Spain, after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, and there are 46 municipalities within its metropolitan area. With a population of nearly 8.3 million, Andalucia is the second largest region in Spain, after Castilla-Leon. (One of Zapatero’s many gaffes was to say Andalucia was the largest, drawing heavy fire from CastillaLeon, where he comes from.)
I I
’m giving these figures to indicate just how big these scandals may eventually be.
t will be a bit like Chinese water torture for the Socialists, as the PP drags up one scandal after another – and God knows there are plenty. It's called tit for tat – getting their own back for the humiliations of the Gurtel case over the past two years.
A
nd the Socialists have no-one to blame but themselves. They must have known what was going on in Seville and that the PP would one day make sure all the dirt was swept out from under the carpet – just a few weeks ahead of the municipal elections on May 22nd. Strategic timing, I think it's called.
F
irst, it was Madrid premier Esperanza Aguirre who announced that she had to undergo surgery to remove a lump from her breast. Then last week, deputy prime minister Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba (above, left) was admitted to the emergency room suffering from a urinary tract infection. Following the two hospitalisations, questions arose over the political future of these two leaders. Aguirre said that she was ready to resume the campaign trail for the May 22nd race for her re-election, although she admitted that she would have to undergo radiation treatments in the coming weeks. Rubalcaba has not said what he intends to do and there is still no clear answer as to whether he will step in and take over from Prime Minister Zapatero as Socialist candidate in next year’s race. He is at home recovering and anxious to get back to work as soon as possible. Despite all this speculation over the health of two of the country’s leading politicians, it is regrettable that these two unfortunate events have produced floods of tactless opinions.
D
uring her hospital stay, El Mundo published a front page photo of Aguirre being wheeled out of surgery. Some enterprising hospital worker obviously used a cellphone to take the shot. No doubt it was in bad taste. Then came the eyebrow-raising and ridiculous comments made by some Popular Party officials, including parliamentary spokeswoman Soraya Sáez de Santamaria who suggested that Rubalcaba checked himself into the hospital because he wanted to avoid answering the opposition’s questions about the Faisán case – the investigation into a police tip off that prevented the arrest of some ETA members who were planning to meet at a restaurant in Guipúzcoa. Then came Deputy Celia Villalobos, a former PP health minister, who defended Sáez saying that she was proud of her party spokeswoman because she has been “capable of putting” his predecessor María Teresa Fernández de la Vega “out on the streets and Rubalcaba in the hospital.” You may recall that Villalobos served as health chief in the middle of the mad cow disease scare and was partly responsible for fomenting the hysteria by wanting to shut down restaurants that insisted on serving beef.
W
here has the sensitivity gone in this country? Statements such as those made by Sáez de Santamaria and Villalobos are red card penalties. Illness isn’t political fodder; no one likes to be sick and no one should try to capitalise on other people's health problems for political gain. As a journalist, I cannot see the news value of the clandestine photograph of Aguirre (above, left) being wheeled out on a gurney. Even more surprising – or maybe not so surprising – was that that it appeared in El Mundo, the PP’s newspaper of choice. Ridiculing a person by demonstrating they are in a helpless state isn’t proper journalism. It only appeals to people's morbidity. Politicians and public figures should have rights to privacy, which should be respected in cases like these where health matters are protected by confidentiality laws. Yes, we should all know the state of health of all of our leaders so that we can make the right decisions in choosing our elected officials. But there has to be limits. And those limits must be decided with great degrees of sensitivity and common sense as gauges in deciding news coverage.
Recycling woes
W
hen it comes to recycling, Spain is still near the back of the line of other European Union members. According Eurostat figures released on March 8th, Spain recycled only 15 per cent of its garbage in 2009. Germany ranked first by recycling half of its waste for that year. But the two countries both generated nearly the same amount of municipal waste per person – between 500 kg and 600 kg per person. Fifty-two per cent of Spain ’s garbage is dumped in landfills while that figure for Germany is zero. After recycling, incinerating and compost are the two other methods Germans use to dispose of their wastes.
I
n Spain, incineration accounted for nine per cent and compost 24 per cent. Yes, it may be a chore to put those plastic bottles in the yellow bin and walk down the street to deposit the glass bottles and paper inside those dark green square hubs. But it is time to catch up with the rest of Europe .

Mijas and Fuengirola elections will be taking place on March 22nd and the Partido Andalucista has announced their candidates. The Mijas candidate is Cristóbal Gonzalez Palma, who has been their spokesman for the past 8 years and also ran for Mayor of Fuengirola. Sr Gonzalez has been on the council of the Fuengirola town hall for the past twenty two years, the last eight being as an 'Andalucista'. Party colleagues have persuaded him to stand as “there is a lot of work to be done in
the area.”
The candidate for Mayor of Fuengirola is Pedro Morgado. He is “fully backed by his colleagues and the rest of the political parties” for this post. Pedro has been the Partido Andalucista's local secretary up until now. The Partido Andalucista has an English person on its board to help cut out any language barriers that expats find between the candidates parties and themselves.

Pete Woodall Woody’s Passport Renewal Service, Fuengirola Many Brits sorely miss the old style photo “Residencia” and wonder why this useful piece of identification was withdrawn and replaced with a certificate. The truth is, it had to go. The obligatory Residencia (Residence Card) was cancelled to stay in line with the EU Directive 2004/38/EC which concerns the freedom of movement for all EU citizens and living in another EU member state. That very useful but extra little Spanish ID card became “outlawed” for EU citizens and as they expire one by one, will not be replaced. The EU directive guarantees that no extra identification documentation shall be given nor forced on an EC citizen living outside their home country by the host country. You have the right of abode simply on the strength of a passport or an ID card provided by your own government. The residence card still exists but is now only issued to family members of EU citizens wishing to reside within the Union who are not citizens of an EU member state. There is the irony; essentially there are no ID cards for Brits,
some EU countries do supply them, the UK does not, nor is the UK part of the Schengen Area as it still maintains border controls with the rest of Europe. The UK is a bit of a square peg in a round hole sometimes, that's what makes them the British, mistrustful of national ID cards and wary of the men in long dark leather trench coats at the “Bahnhof”. As of 28 March 2007, Spanish Royal Decree 240/07 requires EU citizens living in Spain to register at the foreigners office or a police station after staying here for more than three months. For less than three months you need only to be in possession of a valid passport or ID card but after three months you should register and then immediately be given the appropriate certificate. Which is just what it says it is; a certificate to show you have been added to the central register of foreigners, although it shows the date of registration, your name, nationality, address and N.I.E (Numero Identificación Extranjero used for banking etc.) it is not a form of identification and is stamped
as such in large letters. Spanish regulations require you carry valid identification, in fact our whole right of freedom of movement within the EU is partially based on the ability to produce valid identification - on request. The only true form of ID for the British abroad is a valid passport although a drivers licence or passport photocopy may be accepted under everyday circumstances in shops and stores. So we are back to the slowly disappearing Residencia ID card, in the UK they appear to hate ID cards, whilst down here most Brits would love to have them back. As the Spanish authorities are no longer able nor obliged to provide you with an ID card you should carry your passport but they are expensive, bulky, easy to lose - if it has not been stolen already - and are far from indestructible but until someone comes up with a simple plastic ID card for the British, that fits neatly in your pocket, look after your passport, you need it.

Technology Ken and Pepe attribute the company's rapid growth to “our decision to invest in two stae-of-the-art Toyota and one Tajima embroidery machines running dedicated software provided by world leaders Wilcon in the UK,” said Ken. Wide Range – Low Cost Their quality embroidery applications continue to expand, including uniforms for bars, restaurants and clubs or golf societies – they do
embroidery on almost any textile garment, helping to enhance the public image of many types of businesses, clubs, charities or associations, embroidering polo shirts, T-shirts, caps, sweaters, fleece jackets, towels etc, and all at the best prices. They do all the logo designing in-house with the expertise of designer Tuld Warngard, so turnaround times are usually very quick. Now they are also offering promotional gifts such as pens, lighters, mugs etc, golf and sports trophies and golf ball logo printing. Satisfied Clients Pepe commented: “We supplied the embroidery for the La Cala Golf – Vive Mijas golf team representing Spain at the Thailand World Golfers Championships (WGC) last year. Some of our other clients include most of the golf clubs, practically all the bowling clubs and golf societies on the Costa, several hotels and bars,

Spring has sprung Astronomy is not just about sitting outside on dark evenings and gazing at the stars. Astronomy affects us all in our daily lives, and one of the most obvious effects is the passing of the seasons.
Our Earth travels through space as it orbits the Sun and as it moves it presents us with a constantly changing view of the heavens. If the Earth was standing upright then every day would be 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. But the Earth is not standing upright, it is tilted over by about 23 ½ ° and it is this tilt that causes the seasons. From March until September the northern part of the Earth is tilted towards the Sun and so the Sun’s rays are stronger giving us warmer days that we call summer. From September to March the northern part is tilted away from the Sun so its rays are lessened, it gets cooler and we call it winter.
many stables at the Hipodromo, darts clubs, poker clubs and so on.” The success story of Bordados M-Broidery looks set to continue apace. If your business or association needs some image enhancement then call Pepe, Ken or Tuld on 952 932 758 or 670 800 555 and they will be pleased to talk about your requirements. You can see the quality of the work for yourself by calling into the shop, downstairs at Sunshine Golf, La Cala (Km 200 on the N340 / A7). You will be more than welcome! Or you can visit the website at www.polosandlogos.com or email bordadosmb@yahoo.com
In summer we have long days and short nights and in winter the opposite is true and we have long dark nights with short days. The longest day in summer falls on June 21st and is called the summer solstice. The shortest day of the year is on December 21st and is known as the winter solstice. So between these two extremes it stands to reason that there must be a day that is equal in day and night time. This day falls on March 20th and is called the Spring or Vernal Equinox. This coming Sunday March 20th the Earth will be standing perfectly upright and the Sun will be placed directly over the equator. It doesn’t matter where you stand on the Earth on Sunday from the North Pole to the South Pole and all points in between you will receive exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. From this
day up until June 21st the nights will get shorter, the days will get longer, and spring has finally arrived. The Spring or Vernal Equinox was such an important date historically that Easter day is calculated from the Equinox. Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full Moon that occurs after the Equinox. In 2008 Easter was as early in the year that it ever can be, March 23rd. The latest that Easter can occur is on April 25th and this year as the full Moon falls on Saturday March 19th, the equinox is the next day Sunday March 20th then the next full Moon will occur on Monday April 18th and so Easter will occur the following Sunday on April 24th, almost as late as it can ever be. Eagle eyed readers will spot that the Equinox is not the day when the sun rises at 6 am and sets at 6 pm, this day is on Wednesday 16th March. The problem is due to ‘clock time’ and ‘Sun time’. We measure the length of a day as being 24 hours from noon to noon. But the Earth doesn’t keep perfect time as it orbits the Sun and spins on its axis so sometimes it is ahead of ‘clock time’ and sometimes it lags behind. Our measurement of time is simply an average spread out over the year. The Prime meridian which is the line drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole passes directly through Greenwich near London. It is from this line that all of the world’s time zones are calculated. But because of the variations between ‘clock time’ and ‘sun time’ an average or ‘mean time’ is calculated hence Greenwich Mean Time or GMT.

Cartajima – a tiny pueblo blanco in a spectacular setting Written by
Jean Joss
Driving up to Ronda from the coast on the A397 from San Pedro takes in some dramatic scenery as the road passes through the Puerto del Madrono into the Serrania de Ronda.
T
he pine-covered slopes give way to almost bare rock formations as you climb ever higher in the clear mountain air. And at this time of year the yellow broom adds flashes of colour as it clings in the crevices while smudges of wild flowers along the verges glow pink and white.
S
ome 40 kilometres from the coast you can turn inland into the Genal valley, an area covering some 42,000 hectares and now designated as Natural Park. The Rio Genal – reputedly one of Europe's cleanest rivers – has its source near Igualeja from where it winds down to its confluence with the Rio Guardiaro below Gaucin and thence to the sea. There are some 15
villages dotted throughout the valley, all typical pueblos blancos dating from Moorish times. The upper part of the valley, the Alto Genal is made up of the pueblos of Cartajima, Igualeja, Pujerra, Parauta, Juzcar, Farajan and Alpandeire. The lower part, the Baja Genal, contains Gaucín, Benarrabá, Algotacin, Benadalid, Benalauría, Atajate, Jubrique and Genalguacil.
C
artajima, is one of the highest communities in the province of Malaga, 846 metres above sea level. The tiny hamlet nestles against the white limestone massif of the Serrra de Oreganal looking steeply down into the valley and across rolling slopes of chestnut, oak and cork-oak forests. The views are spectacular
and it is little wonder that there are “miradors” (or viewpoints) on each side of the village which provide excellent photo opportunities. It is probably prudent to park on the outskirts and explore the narrow streets on foot though there is limited parking close to the charming little Hotel Los Castanos, a newly renovated boutique hotel from whose roof terrace the views are, if anything, even better. Beside the hotel is the church of Nuestra Senora del Rosario dating from the 16th century but burned during the early months of the Civil War in 1936, when sadly the village archives were also lost. Restored in 1941, the interior now houses a large painting by the celebrated Ronda painter and photographer Miguel
Martin who was born in Cartajima in 1947.
A
lthough the actual community's records were destroyed some of its history is still known. Roman coins were discovered here as well as tombs from the Phoenican era and the settlement itself is of Berber origin, established some time after the Moorish conquest of 711AD – the name is said to stem from the Arabic Aljaria al Jaima, the homestead of Aljaima. After the Christian conquest in 1485 the name was changed to Xaritalxime and during the succeeding decades the inhabitants were baptised although many of the Moriscos may have been less than convinced since the Inquisition visited the pueblo in
1560, imposing fines for continuing Moslem traditions.
T
he town thrived in the 19th century because of its canon factories and Fernando VII recognised Cartajima as a “villa” in 1814 for its support against Napoleonic troops during the War of Independence, calling it Cadiz el Chico (Little Cadiz).
T
oday Cartajima is a sleepy little village with less than 250 inhabitants. Its main claim to fame is the cultivation of chestnut trees which are harvested around October/November time when the locals produce special dishes from the crop. Other local specialities are rabbit and a mushroom soup served
at the August feria. During Semana Santa the village comes alive with celebrations called Las Cortesias, but generally visitors who prefer the peace of the mountains to the clamour of the costa can enjoy quietness and the wonderful walking opportunities.
O
utside Cartajima, heading southwards towards Juzcar is a turning to “Los Riscos”, a limestone area, reminiscent of the better known El Torcal north of Malaga, where the rain and wind has carved the rocks into a fantastic moonscape. There are well marked walking tracks here and sheltered areas ideal of picnicking. As well as – naturally – wonderful photo opportunities.

Internet television is the future The phenomenon that is sweeping the world is Internet TV. Giving you all your favourite programmes from back home, it allows TV channels to be accessed anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and a laptop or desktop computer - once considered luxuries but now as common as kettles and toasters. It’s rapidly becoming the future of entertainment viewing. Traditional television broadcasts have several limitations. They require an aerial or a satellite dish on the roof. Aerials need to be in direct line of sight of the transmitter which is on the ground. If it’s over the hill, behind a building or you live in a valley then you’re in trouble. With satellites unless you are directly under the satellite's zone, dishes have to be very large.
They’re sensitive to rain because the signal does not go through clouds very well. Also whenever there is a storm countless people are faced with the additional cost of getting their dish re-aligned as it effectively acts as a sail and ends up facing the direction the wind chooses and not pointing at the satellite and, if it happens on a Friday night you may very well have no TV for the whole weekend until an engineer is available on the Monday! Another issue is that you don’t always get programmes in your language. If you want to brush up on your Spanish,
fine, but sometimes you just want to see the news and then your favourite soap. The beauty of internet TV is it’s always on wherever you are, giving you the choice of what you watch. If you are travelling, you won’t miss a thing - you just plug the super-slim nifty little box into your laptop. At home connect it to your normal TV and see your programmes in your living room on your big screen. The choice of channels is getting bigger by the day so for ex-pats it’s as good as being at home but you’re in Spain with the usually lovely weather.
Getting internet TV is as simple as a phonecall. In most cases you don’t even need an engineer to visit as it can be downloaded and set up over the internet in seconds. It's the future and it's here now. For more information see the main advert below. Join us and join the future of television now! CALL 902 00 95 93 FOR MORE INFO OR 651 430 534 for scandinavian language
Lost your TV? Can’t have satellite? Fed up with losing your picture if the weather’s bad?
WE HAVE THE ANSWER!
The superslim box measures just: 30cm wide, 3.5cm high and 20cm deep
As long as you have access to the internet with at least 3 MB OF BROADBAND connection you can GET TV 24/7 365 DAYS A YEAR whatever the weather

All sorts of changes are occurring now Uranus has moved into your sign; the unpredictable becomes your friend as you have the chance to turn all uncertainties into opportunities. It is hard to know at this point how events are going to pan out, it's more a time of going with what is happening right now and making the most of the energy that is coming your way. As long as you adapt in a cool, calm and collected way then your instincts will see you through. It is all about being one step ahead of the game this week and by doing so you improve your chances of winning an important contract. Pay attention to the subtleties this week as they hold vital clues that you can use to keep on top. Keeping quiet in the background will allow you to keep your eye on the ball and gather information. Expect waves of negativity and doubt to appear - this is normal right now - just don’t allow yourself to buy into it. Rise way above it. If you have a desire to re-write history then now really isn’t the time to do it, partly because it will not help you to hold on to regrets. For some reason it all had to happen that way, even if you can’t see the whole picture now. There is an avenue that is opening up that will appeal immensely after the long haul of the past. An opportunity to innovatively work with what is in front of you, something that is no longer a drain on your resources and energy. A shift is occurring whereby a burden is still there but you are viewing and feeling it in an objective way. There is so much more going on than meets the eye and you have more power than you realise to influence a situation simply by staying sweet and holding that smile like only you can. This will allow other parties to reveal their hand and you will understand where a complex situation is now headed. Success is on its way – just hang in there. No matter how hard you try you are not seeing eye to eye with another. It is important to let go of any pre-conceived notions you have regarding this relationship as somewhere along the line your expectations of the other person does not match the reality. Not everything has to be hard and complicated there have been some tough times this year so far, so give yourself a break by letting go of those relationship habits of the past. Even if it is a little step in the right direction towards your destiny that you take this week it will bring great personal rewards. Don’t let anyone sow doubts in your head or allow them to destroy your dreams - let your flame burn brightly amidst all opposition. Feeling that you have done your best will be enough to keep you positive and moving in the right direction. Your hard work, your persistence, your inner strength will bring you merit.
LIBRA
Something isn’t sitting quite right with you - one area of your life is not as it used to be, and people and places have moved on and changed. This is leaving you feeling at odds like your equilibrium is knocked off balance - the balance between your head and your heart needs settling. Perhaps a conversation you have been avoiding needs to be confronted to clear the air and get to the September 23rd - “bones” of what is going on. nd October 22
SCORPIO
October 23rd November 21st
You love submerging yourself in the action, going right down to the depths of a subject or emotion - any restrictions on this makes you feel trapped and as though you were undergoing some sort of punishment. The key to your dilemma is that something from the past needs to be re-looked at but you need to go around the issue to see the reality this time, not cut straight to the core. Only from an objective viewpoint will you see the whole.
SAGITTARIUS No matter how much you know there is always more to learn, to glean, to gain. An old challenge may put you to the test this week but with your grace and ease you will develop a new approach, this time you will pass with stars. You will be shining come the weekend and everyone will want to be around you. This is a great time to meet new friends or even start a new relationship as others will feel nd November 22 - like opening up and talking to you. st December 21
CAPRICORN When you have only yourself to think of then that is a completely different way of looking at the world from having some other to take into consideration. A relationship can be overwhelming this week so try not to let this emotional influence affect your own opinions and decisions. Worry less, relax more - you could be pushing to move fast and putting yourself and your current situation December 22nd under immense pressure. Perhaps your expectations are contributing to the January 19th tension.
AQUARIUS
January 20th February 18th
PISCES
February 19th March 20th
There is nothing more you want than to get back in the game. Sudden events abound making it challenging to relax enough to sleep or rest. Like a lightning bolt you wonder where it will strike next and this is making you feel edgy. Uranus is surprising and awakening and will also be invigorating your sense of optimism and excitement for the future. A piece of your life needs securing and you will question and dig until you have it in the bag.
Patience is called for. Something that has been initiated is facing a slight setback. Do not allow yourself to put up with something that you should never accept. Make sure there is a fair exchange in all dealings - if you undersell yourself, you may not be appreciated. If you demand what you are worth then you command more respect. You are about to begin a positive cycle. Have faith, patience and high self-esteem - you do not need anything else.

RED NOSE DAY
Forget heels – it’s ballet pumps for Spring
Red Nose icon nearly non-starter
Pop into any shoe shop now and you will find that the shoe du jour is definitely the flattie – inspired by the ballet psychodrama movie Black Swan.
Who would have known? As the nation gears up for Friday’s Red Nose Day one of the founders of Comic Relief has revealed that when the red nose was mooted it was considered an “atrocious idea”. Comedy scriptwriter and director Richard Curtis helped launch Comic Relief on Noel Edmonds’ Late Late Breakfast Show, with a report from Ethiopia on Christmas Day in 1985. A few months later the first live fundraising show was staged at London’s Shaftesbury Avenue, with performances by Rowan Atkinson, Ronnie Corbett and Kate Bush. The idea for a red nose is lost in the mists of time but
Curtis has said that it was pooh poohed, and no-one thought it would catch on. Well, since then more than 60 million have been sold so the original doubters would have red faces now. The first Red Nose Day was held in 1988 and since then the charity juggernaut has swung into action once every two years, raising billions for charities abroad and in the UK.This year the target is £57.8 million (2009’s total) and Friday’s
There are flat lace-ups, which look like ballet training shoes, and plenty of pretty ballet pumps swamping the shelves of Spain’s shops.
telethon promises to be rich in comedy treats. Tennis player Andy Murray is taking part in an episode of Outnumbered, Miranda Hart and Michael McIntyre will be starring throughout the night, and there’s a delicious Downton Abbey spoof with Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley and Victoria Wood.
The ballet boom is feeding through into the world of fashion so if you want to be hot to trot then you need to team those pumps with the pleated skirts and the tulle and taffeta that have made their mark on the spring/summer fashion collections.
Jonathan Ross has been recalled from BBC exile to help host the evening.

The movie is not aimed at young girls, so won’t have inspired a new generation of youngsters to head to the
barre, but it has made a definite impact on classes for adults in the UK. Even Amy Winehouse is now said to be taking lessons and beginners classes are enjoying a boom with teachers definitely giving the credit to Natalie Portman’s Oscar winning performance. And the movie has sparked an interest in audience figures. The Royal Ballet has just premiered Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, its first full length ballet for 15 years, and all performances are sold out and companies throughout the UK are reporting an upswing in interest. Mind
you, some prospective punters have been telephoning the Royal Opera House to ask whether Swan Lake was based on the movie and whether Natalie Portman is dancing at Covent Garden –the mixing of fact and fiction!

Kiss - for all your Coffee may cut stroke risk in women beauty needs Some women may be avoiding coffee because they think Kiss Hair, Nails and Beauty is situated in the heart of Las it is unhealthy, but a Swedish study has found that Rampas, Fuengirola. women who drink more than a cup of coffee a day cut Into our seventh year of their risk of stroke by 22 to 25 per cent. business we continue to Researchers at the Karolinska Institute looked at data from more than 34,000 women aged 49 to 83 whose health had been monitored for around 10 years. After taking into account other risk factors, such as smoking status, body mass index, history of diabetes, high blood pressure and alcohol, coffee consumption was linked to a statistically significant reduced risk of different types of stroke. The benefit was the same
whether the women drank one to two or several cups of coffee each day. The researchers said people should not change their coffee-drinking habits, but their findings should ease women’s worries about the beverage. A spokesman for The Stroke Association said it has been known for some time that antioxidants found in certain foods and drink, including coffee, could help to reduce a
person’s stroke risk and the Swedish study provides further support to this theory. However, he said it should be borne in mind that caffeine intake can also contribute to high blood pressure, the single biggest risk factor for stroke. He recommended moderate to low-level consumption of coffee as part of a healthy balanced diet which together with regular exercise helps to reduce the overall risk of a stroke.

This is Ford's answer to the Vauxhall Meriva - the BMax baby MPV. It's based on the existing (and highly successful) Ford Fiesta, but this car is bigger and a lot more practical. It has pillarless, sliding rear doors that make access to the cabin exceptionally easy. The Vauxhall Meriva is the car to beat in this class and Ford's B-Max is set to be a close rival. There's no doubt that it resembles the Fiesta, but the B-Max also looks a little like Ford's Iosis Max concept from the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.
It's expected to be powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which should have exceptionally low emissions and top fuel economy. That engine was first seen on the Start
concept at the
2010 Beijing Motor Show. The show car featured a panoramic glass roof, but that's likely to be a cost option on the final production model. The sliding pillar-less doors are the main attraction, not least because Ford is taking such an obvious stab at the Vauxhall Meriva with them. The company claims that the B-Max has a 1.5metre entrance to
the cabin, which is supposedly twice as wide as that of 'competitors'. Motor companies are hesitant to do them these days because they add a lot more weight -- cutting into fuel costs -- compared with hinged doors. The fact that it is a relatively small car means they can get away with it. It's small, but it's not the smallest Ford crossover cruising Europe. Estimated release date for the B-Max is 2012, and the cost is estimated to be from £16,000.

Cal Crutchlow loses finger tip in Qatar crash Cal Crutchlow's final night of pre-season testing before his MotoGP race debut proved to be a painful one when the Englishman lost the tip of his left little-finger. Crutchlow's hand became trapped under the handlebar of his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 following a heavy crash at Turn 10 shortly before 9pm, causing the finger damage. Fortunately Crutchlow, who finished the final night in 15th position with just 28 laps, won't need surgery and should be able to take part in opening practice for the Qatar Grand Prix, at the same Losail circuit, as planned on Thursday evening. “The test certainly didn't end how I wanted and it is a real shame because we had made some changes to the balance of the bike that really helped my confidence with the frontend tonight. But I made a silly little mistake at Turn 10,” said Crutchlow.
The new MotoGP season gets under way this weekend in Qatar. Casey Stoner was leading the last session from team mate Pedrosa.

Nick Watney wins the WGC–Cadillac championship American Nick Watney fired a superb final round of 67 to win the WGC-Cadillac Championship at TPC Blue Monster Doral. It was an incredible win on home soil last weekend, as he finished two strokes ahead of his countryman Dustin Johnson. Watney, the 29 year old from Sacramento, California, who turned professional in 2003 following in the footsteps of his uncle Mike Watney, who played on the PGA tour in the 1970s - began the final day two strokes back from Johnson after he had double bogeyed the dangerous 18th hole in round three. Johnson managed to maintain his advantage for much of the front nine, up until Watney made four birdies in five holes from the 8th to the 12th to move one ahead. Johnson rejoined Watney at the top of the leaderboard with a birdie at the 14th and gave it back with a
Rankings and wining £857,034 for the first prize "Top-10 finishes are nice," Watney said. "But winning is what counts out here, and that's how you're measured. To win this tournament against this field, it's a huge honour. I'm very excited. I'm very proud."
Nick Watney’s final putt goes in for birdie
bogey at the short par 4 16th and from there it was down hill for Johnson as he pulled his tee shot into a bunker, then played his second into a greenside trap from where he failed to get up and down. Without doubt Nick Watney must have been
feeling the pressure as he stood on the 18th tee with a one shot lead after Saturday’s double bogey. He did extremely well against the intimidating drives on the golf course which had water all down the left hand side.This was the biggest win so far of his
career and after firing a great approach within 15 feet and then holing a tricky downhill putt for birdie, the American grasped his opportunity with a five under par 67 and 16 under aggregate of 272, placing him 15th on the Official World Golf
Johnson finished two behind with Italian Francesco Molinari and Dane Anders Hansen in joint third which means that Hanson has now climbed back up the leaderboard into the world’s top 50 in time to earn a third Masters appearance next month. Luke Donald, looking for a second straight WGC title, went into the final round

tied with Watney. The Englishman struggled to get it going on Sunday and ended up on a level par 72 to finish in a tie for sixth with Adam Scott.

11. The other semi final was much closer, the Benalmadena team of Jim Neilson and Lynn Heseltine just beaten by Mary Hilton and Mike Detheridge. The final was a close contest after 7 ends the score was 9-9. But with Gordon and Margaret Kain picking up 8
Mary Detheridge to Colin Handley and Peter and Marlene Brooks. So to the semi final: the Kains and Alan Turner playing John Sullivan, Don Smith and Dorrien Ives - after 10 ends it was a close match but John, Don and Dorrien won the next 6 ends to run out comfortable winners 22-12. In another very close semi final Mike Detheridge, Diane Chambers and Murray Johns just got the better of Colin Handley and Peter and Marlene Brooks
12-10. In the final John Sullivan, Don Smith and Dorrien Ives started well and after 9 ends led 19-3 there was no way back for Mike Detheridge, Diane Chambers and Murray Johns and they conceded after 14 ends with the score 25- 8.

MotoGP Japanese round postponed The Japanese MotoGP race in Motegi set forApril 24th has been postponed until later in the season following the earthquake and tsunami. Although Motegi did not suffer major devastation on Friday, roads between Tokyo and Mito - the closest city to the race circuit - have been damaged. The MotoGP season gets under way in Losail in Qatar on March 20th. It is the second year in succession that the Japanese round of the championship has been rescheduled.
Duda’s goal the spark Tiger Woods for a vital away win continues his Real Sociedad 0-2 Malaga upturn in form After last week's massive disappointment and the repercussions in the press that followed, Malaga were looking to bring some points back from San Sebastian. In the opening period Real Sociedad were the more dominant side
and in the 7th minute Willy Caballero was called on to make a great save from Prieto's shot. Real’s Tamudo tried to con the referee in the 15th minute by diving in the box but
thankfully the claim was waved away. Slightly against the run of play Malaga took the lead, when a Duda freekick evaded everyone in the box including Sociedad's keeper to give Malaga the impetus. Real’s Tamudo
missed a great chance to equalise just before the interval and Caballero made an important stop to deny Rivas just 10 minutes after the restart. Malaga went 2-0 up

after 57 minutes when Rondon got on the end of an Eliseu cross to majestically head home. After the second goal went in Real Sociedad never really got back into the game, and Malaga's defence remained strong to keep a clean sheet. In the last minute Malaga could have had a third with a bizarre own goal but the ball went just over the bar. Although they remain bottom of the table with just 10 games of the season remaining, Manuel Pellegrini's side are now level on points with both Almeria and Hercules, and just three adrift of 17thplaced Sporting Gijon. Espanyol travel to La Roselada next Sunday and the game gets underway at 5pm. BELIEVE. Report by: Scott Forbes

Tickets go on sale for London 2012 Tickets for the London 2012 Olympic Games have gone on sale, 500 days before the opening ceremony gets under way. A total of 6.6 million tickets are available to members of the public, who have until April 26th to apply. Organisers are keen to stress that tickets will not be sold on a first-come-first-served basis, so there is no need to panicbuy on the first day. "We have 2.5 million people saying they want tickets, but there is no hurry," said 2012 chairman Lord Coe."

Fabio upset over skipper debacle Fabio Capello has said he is considering relieving Rio Ferdinand of his captaincy duties and handing the role back to former skipper John Terry. Last year, Terry was stripped of the armband and Capello wants to avoid it being passed around like it was in February's friendly against Denmark. "I was really upset about what happened in Denmark, when I saw the players saying 'who is the captain?'” he said. “For that reason I need to make a decision - and it will be a permanent decision, not just one game."
