NOTHING UNTIL AFTER NOVEMBER 20TH - National News

Nationalists jump on ETA peace bandwagon Just days after the Basque terrorist group ETA announced a “definitive cessation of violence” last Thursday, the leader of the Basque Nationalist Party, Iñigo Urkullu, urged Basque Country regional premier Patxi López during a meeting on Monday to relocate ETA prisoners in jails in the rest of Spain to jails in the Basque Country. The prisoners' families and ETA sympathisers have been demanding this for years but Sr. Lopez, who has begun a series of talks with

Basque parties, including the pro-separatist platform Bildu, replied that he was willing to work with the winner of the November

20th general election in what he called the "resocialisation of prisoners”. Socialist Party candidate Alfredo Perez

Rubalcaba who, as Interior Minister, probably jailed more ETA terrorists than any other interior minister in the past 30 years, said on

Monday that it was not necessary to do anything before November 20th. CONTINueD ON PAge 2

ICKHAM’S

WORLD Nationalists Tragedy

By Kym Wickham k.wickham@thenewsonline.es

Some of us in The news offices are followers of the Moto GP bike riding and, on Sunday a young and upand-coming rider, Marco Simoncelli lost his life during the second lap of the race in Malaysia. This young man with the wild curly hair and attitude was only 24-yearsold and knew what he was doing on a bike – you don’t reach that level of racing without being incredibly good but, the fact remains that being on a motorbike of any kind is a dangerous place to be. When we learnt to ride motorbikes in the uK it was because I was surveying in london and the traffic had got to the stage where it was pretty much impossible to do my job in a car. The first thing I remember my instructor, Andy, telling me was: “no matter how good you are, or think you are, there is always something that can kill you so never use all your power – you may need it to get you out of something – and remember to have eyes in the back of your head too!” There was nothing the other riders in the GP could have done to miss Simoncelli as he came off but it certainly brings it home to you just how dangerous the sport is and all of you who thrash along the roads in Spain in shorts, T-shirt and flip-flops should take note. Just a couple of seconds of someone not looking what they’re doing and that’s it so, at least make sure you’re wearing the proper gear – it could save your life. On a much happier note, on Saturday I went and had my teeth whitened at the “Perfect White Teeth” salon at the Tamisa Golf Hotel, Fuengirola. I have good, strong teeth but they are uneven and I love my cuppa so tend to get stained from the tea. I expected to see a little difference but, Wow! I still haven’t got a Hollywood smile and, frankly, do I want to look like Simon cowell and blind people every time I open my mouth? But I now have lovely, naturally white teeth again. I’ll tell you all about it next week!

jump on ETA peace bandwagon During a radio interview, he said that the next step in the ETA peace process would be taken by the government elected on that date. Opposition leader Mariano Rajoy, who is tipped to win the election, has said “there is nobody who cannot feel joy (over ETA's declaration)," but added that he would never negotiate with the group.

The announcement ETA announced its “definitive cessation of violence” in a video sent to the BBC and aired last Thursday. In the preamble to the statement, a hooded ETA spokesman flanked by two others said "a new political age is opening" in the Basque Country. "We face a historic opportunity to obtain a just and democratic solution to the age-old political conflict." He continued: "ETA has decided on the definitive cessation of its armed activity. ETA makes a call to the governments of Spain and France to open a process of direct dialogue which has as its aim the resolution of the consequences of the conflict and thus the conclusion of the armed conflict. With this historic declaration, ETA demonstrates its clear, firm

and definitive purpose." Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said the move was "a victory for democracy, law and reason", adding that after more than 40 years of bomb attacks and assassinations, Spain was now experiencing "legitimate satisfaction" at the victory over terror. He said it should never have happened and must never be allowed to return. The declaration, if followed through, would end ETA's campaign of violence, which has lasted more than 40 years and killed more than 850 people. The declaration came three days after a conference in San Sebastian which was attended by international statesmen including former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, and protagonists in the Northern Ireland peace process, who called on ETA to lay down its arms. These international mediators

supporters for several months, until last Saturday, when thousands took to the streets of Bilbao (see photo). But ETA's days were probably numbered in any case. Thanks to a concerted Spanish and French crackdown, dozens of ETA militants, including successive leaders, have been arrested and jailed, in recent years and the security forces have said there are probably more ETA members in jail than outside. However, they have also warned that ETA still has hidden caches of arms and explosives and could become active again.

National Day spoilt October 25th marked the 32nd anniversary of the Basque Statute, by which the government in Madrid devolved a number of powers to the Basque regional government, including the right to have its own police force. This is the first year that it has been an official holiday but only the Basque Socialist Party and the Partido Popular attended the celebrations. The Basque National Party stayed away as did all the smaller nationalist parties because of differences over how the ETA peace process should be handled.

have been active since January this year, when ETA declared a permanent and "internationally verifiable" ceasefire, but the government has refused to negotiate with the group until it lays down its arms and disbands. The government is cautious about engaging in another peace process, after the last one failed. It started contacts when the group called a "permanent" ceasefire in 2006, only to break it a few months later by bombing an airport car park in Madrid, killing two people. The group has also abandoned previous ceasefires.But some analysts say it may be different this time. ETA has not killed anyone in the past two years and earlier this year it stopped collecting a “revolutionary” tax from businessmen, which was nothing more than protection money. In addition, there have been no street protests by ETA

2003

Concorde made its last ever UK flight over Bristol

Proposal to Just over 45 per cent of Catalans would vote in favour of independence if a referendum were to be held tomorrow, and merge councils only a quarter would vote against, according to the results of a survey released by the Centre of Opinion Studies (CEO) on Tuesday.

The number has grown considerably since dozens of towns and cities in the region held unofficial referendums on independence late last year and at the beginning of this year. The highest turnout of those eligible to vote was 20%, the lowest was just over eight per cent and an overwhelming majority averaging 98 per cent voted in favour of independence. However, between 80 to 92

per cent of eligible voters stayed away. During a recent visit to Barcelona, Quebec mayor Régis Labeaume told regional premier Artur Mas that he was glad that the Quebec independence movement had lost a referendum in 1995, when 49.42 per cent voted in favour of independence from Canada and 50.58 per cent voted against, because independence would have been disastrous for Quebec.

Former Catalan regional premier José Montilla said recently that with seven million inhabitants and all the necessary infrastructure, independence from Spain was “viable but not desirable or convenient for the majority of the region's inhabitants”. Since winning the regional election a year ago, Sr Mas has become increasingly outspoken about the desirability of breaking away from Spain.

Minister of the Presidency Ramon Jáuregui (pictured) said on Monday that merging local councils could be a solution to improving the functioning of public administrations. Such a reform would affect 2,200 local councils – a quarter of the total existing today – which have less than 1,000 inhabitants. Sr Jáuregui launched the proposal at the 15th Congress of Family Businesses being held in Valladolid this week. He also proposed eliminating or drastically reducing the socalled deputations, that is, those local councillors who

More Spanish aid Just four survivors workers kidnapped Three aid workers – two Spanish and one Italian – were kidnapped late Saturday night from the Rabuni refugee camp near Tindouf in western Algeria, which houses Sahrawi refugees from Western Sahara.

Only four of the 35,000 men and women from 55 countries who came to Spain to fight for the Second Republic have arrived in Madrid to join in the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the International Brigades. Briton David Lomon, 93, headed for Spain the day he turned 18 in 1936.

This past weekend he joined Erik Ellman, 92, from Estonia, and José Eduardo and Vicente Almudéver Mateu, two brothers aged 92 and 94 respectively who were born in France of Spanish parents, to represent the 9,000 “brigadistas” who were killed or taken

The Polisario movement, which is seeking independence for Western Sahara and runs the camp, has blamed local al-Qaeda militants for the kidnappings. In a statement, the Algeria-based group said the armed attackers had arrived at the camp in fourwheel drive vehicles and

left in the direction of neighbouring Mali "from where they came". The Algerian government condemned the kidnapping, but said it was awaiting more detailed reports before commenting further. Western Sahara was annexed by Morocco in 1975 and the Polisario

Sacked bank manager files dole claim

The Environment Ministry has published its proposed list of the maritime areas that it wants declared as national preserves, with three glaring absences – the Straits of Gibraltar, Chafarina Islands and Banco de la Concepción. A spokesman said the government decided to eliminate these areas from the initial protected-zone list because they are located in international waters, two of them in areas of jurisdiction that are disputed with Gibraltar and Morocco. The spokesman said that where there are disputes “we are going to sit down with the Foreign

María dolores amorós, the former general manager of the failed Caja del Mediterráneo (CaM), who was sacked after awarding herself an annual pension of €370,000, has filed a claim for unemployment benefits of around €1,400 a month. amorós was fired without severance pay after the Bank of Spain took over CaM for irregularities in the bank's financial accounts, as well as her pension. Other CaM managers also received huge pay-oﬀs before the bank was intervened. Madrid

One in five below poverty line Ministry and study this issue more profoundly”. Despite the omissions, environmentalists praised the government's move to declare 41 other areas as marine bird sanctuaries, describing it as “a big step forward" in conservation efforts. The so-called

Special Protection Zones for Birds will total more than 50,000 square kilometres along the coast of the Spanish peninsula and the Balearic and Canary Islands. Strict controls will be enforced in each zone to keep oil tankers away and to ensure

that birds that feed in those waters are not caught in fishermen's nets. The Environment Ministry has set a November 8th deadline for anyone who wants to file comments concerning the areas.

Nun is oldest student of Spanish An 88-year-old Lebanese nun received a special award last week from Spain's peace-keeping force in Southern Lebanon – for being the oldest student in the Spanish

courses they give to some 100 students there. Sister Fabianne Rihani told the Spanish news agency Efe that she started the classes “to keep my

mind awake” and is encouraging other people to do so “not only to have better relations with the Spanish peacekeepers but also to widen their culture”. She said: “I work

with them and I know they make many sacrifices for us.” Sister Fabianne is a granddaughter of one of the Lebanon's most famous writers, Amin Rihani.

Oﬃcial figures show that the number of people living below the poverty line – defined as a two-child family with income under €15,820 a year (€7,533 for a single adult) – increased by one per cent last year over 2009 to 21.8 per cent as the ongoing economic crisis left a quarter of the working population out of a job. The region with the highest rate is Extremadura, 38 per cent, and Navarre has the lowest rate - 7.3 per cent.

Madrid

Bishops push “anti” vote The Episcopal Conference has appealed to people not to vote for political parties that support divorce, abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia or medical research using human embryos. The auxiliary bishop of Madrid, Juan antonio Martinez Camino, told a press conference that laws are not always moral or just “because of the fact that they were passed by legitimate organs”. Before voting, he said, people should take into account “the danger inherent in options that do not support the right to life”.

archaeologist Howard Carter opened the Tomb of Tutankhamun

Gaddafi 'buried in secret at dawn' Libyan officials said on Tuesday that the bodies of Muammar Gaddafi, his son Muatassim and a top aide had been buried at dawn in an unknown location in the desert. Witnesses reported that the bodies of the three men were removed overnight from the meat storage warehouse in Misrata where they had been on display. A security guard at the warehouse confirmed the move to the Arabic television station alJazeera. An Associated Press Television News team said it saw three vehicles leave the warehouse area late on Monday, and when they entered the facility the bodies were no longer there. The question of how

to dispose of Col Gaddafi's body has been a political minefield for the new Libyan leadership – which is why it had taken four days for a decision to be reached. There were concerns that a public grave could become a shrine for Gaddafi loyalists or a target of hatred for those who opposed his regime. Meanwhile a committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death has been formed, after video footage showed him alive at the time of capture in Sirte on Thursday. Officials said he had been killed subsequently in crossfire. Another atrocity came to

light on Sunday when the bodies of 53 Gaddafi loyalists were found on the lawn of the abandoned Hotel Mahari in Sirte. Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch (HRW), said in a statement: "Some had their hands bound behind their backs when they were shot." He said the the victims had died about a

week ago. Libya's new rulers have denied any involvement in abuses and have urged Libyans to forego reprisal attacks. HRW, Amnesty International and other rights groups regularly document incidents of atrocities suspected of being carried out by proand anti-Gaddafi forces during the conflict.

Fernandez celebrates a landslide win

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner won re-election on Sunday in a landslide victory, on the back of strong economic growth. She secured nearly 54% of the vote, with her closest challenger, socialist Hermes Binner on just 17%. Her critics say she has benefited from a weak and fragmented opposition. The sudden death a year ago of her husband, nestor Kirchner, who stood aside in 2007 to let his wife run for oﬃce to succeed him, brought her a wave of public sympathy. IndIa

'Unwanted' girls get new start More than 280 girls called nakusha, which means unwanted – by parents who would have preferred sons – have been given a fresh start at a mass renaming ceremony in Maharashtra state. Hundreds of people committed to fighting gender discrimination attended the ceremony in rural Satara district, which has one of the country's lowest female populations, with 880 females to every 1,000 males. The local government said it wanted to combat negative attitudes. Statistics show a continuing preference for boys in India. SwITzerland

Security officials on both sides of the US-Mexico border have revealed that US law enforcement agencies have built up networks of Mexican informants which have allowed them to infiltrate some of that country’s most powerful and dangerous criminal organisations. The

informants have helped Mexican authorities capture or kill about two dozen high-ranking and mid-level drug traffickers. The use of informants has been largely clandestine because of concerns about corruption among the Mexican police, as well as laws prohibiting American security forces from

have softened in recent years, when drug-related violence has left about 40,000 people dead.

The right-wing People's Party saw its share of the vote fall at parliamentary elections on Sunday, defying forecasts of a historic result. It had campaigned on a tough antiimmigration platform, and had predicted it would receive an unprecedented 30% of the vote but in the event got less than 27%. It had been buoyed by recent successes in campaigns to ban minarets, and to automatically deport foreign criminals but voters gave the party a slap in the face, and it lost seven parliamentary seats.

Quake survivors face freezing nights Thousands of people have been exposed to freezing night temperatures since Sunday's 7.2-magnitude earthquake in a mountainous area of eastern Turkey. Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said 366 people had died and 1,300 were injured, most of them in the cities of Van and Ercis, near the Iranian border, but with hundreds of people missing, the death toll is expected to rise. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors under the rubble of hundreds of collapsed

buildings, but officials said on Tuesday that the chances of those still alive beneath the rubble surviving another freezing night are fading. Both Ercis and the larger city of Van, about 100km to the south, lie on a high plateau surrounded by snowcapped mountains and temperatures at night, with winter closing in, dip below freezing. Some 2,400 rescue workers are involved in the

relief effort, as are 680 medics, 12 rescue dogs and 108 ambulances – including seven air ambulances. Turkey is particularly vulnerable to earthquakes because it sits on major geological fault lines. Two earthquakes in 1999 with a magnitude of more than 7 on the Richter scale killed almost 20,000 people in densely populated parts of the north-west of the country.

US ambassador leaves Syria The US has pulled out its ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, after he angered the authorities by showing solidarity with activists involved in an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule. A US spokesman said Mr Ford had left Damascus at the weekend after "credible threats against his personal safety". In response, Syria recalled its ambassador to

Washington on Monday for consultations. Last month, Mr Ford and colleagues were pelted with eggs and tomatoes when visiting an opposition figure, and he was briefly trapped in his office by pro-Assad demonstrators. Mr Ford, an Arabic-speaker who has served in several Arab countries, has expressed

solidarity with protesters as well as denouncing Syria's crackdown on its opponents. Mr Ford arrived in Damascus in January as the first US ambassador to Syria for more than five years. According to the UN, more than 3,000 people – mostly unarmed demonstrators – have been killed since protests against President Assad's rule began in March.

UK News Flash floods kill two in Ireland Two people died as more than a month’s rain fell on Ireland in just one day on Monday – the worst floods seen in Ireland in decades – and Dublin City Council implemented its major emergency plans to cope with the aftermath. Ciaran Jones a 25-yearold police officer was swept away by the floodwater as he was directing traffic to safety at Ballysmutton Bridge near Blessington, County Wicklow. A Garda helicopter, the Irish Coast Guard and several mountain rescue teams joined in the search hoping to find him alive, but his body was found later. A woman’s body was also recovered from a flooded basement flat in Dublin. Some commuters were trapped in their cars for four hours as water suddenly poured through the streets after four rivers overflowed and bus and train services were suspended.

Killer convicted after nine years 31-year-old Leigh Clift of Lincolnshire Close, Bletchley, who has spent five years in jail after being convicted of grievous bodily harm on a 19-year-old man in 2000 was last week sentenced to serve at least six years for the murder of the same man by Luton Crown Court.

pool and the centre had to be evacuated with expected damage set to cost millions of euros to repair. Earlier in the day, Northern Ireland had been hit by the storm and at Beragh in County Tyrone 18 people were rescued from their homes in boats as the local river overflowed. The Met office had issued a severe weather warning but no one expected disruption on this scale. Deputy Chief Fire Officer Chris Kerr said the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service had responded to 40 incidents. "Our crews are working in

extremely difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions to rescue those in distress". Flood warnings were also put into place for North and East Yorkshire, and alerts were given for river and coastal areas – once again in Cornwall that has been badly hit in recent years, Devon and parts of Wales – as flash floods were forecast. An Environment Agency spokesman said: "Given the potential for very heavy localised downpours, small, fast responding rivers and streams are particularly prone to flooding, especially in Cornwall and West Devon."

Jonathan Barton was 19 when he was stabbed in the head twice with a screwdriver – that travelled from the left to the right hand side of his brain – by Clift outside the Beacon pub in Milton Keynes over a decade ago. Jonathan did not die at that time but was left unable to move or speak for another nine years until he died in 2009 following a cardio-respiratory arrest after a procedure to reinsert his feeding tube. The jury heard that Clift appeared to wink “provocatively” at Mr Barton as he left the pub which led to an argument.

Jo Yeates killer tells court he was “in a state of panic” The man who has admitted to killing architect Jo Yeates has apologised to her parents for putting them through “a week of hell” and for dumping her body next to a roadside verge. Vincent Tabak, a Dutch 33-year-old engineer denies murder but pleads guilty to manslaughter on December 17th last year saying that “I still can’t believe I did that”, adding that the horror was started by a flirty remark. Tabak told Bristol Crown Court that he waved to Jo as he was passing her kitchen window on the way to the supermarket but she invited him in. He described how he took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack in the hall then they both went into her kitchen. He said that Miss Yeates made a remark about her cat that had recently got into his flat

saying that the cat went into places it shouldn’t go adding that the cat was: “A bit like me.” Tabak took this as a flirty remark and said that he decided to make a pass at her. He got the impression that she wanted to kiss him so he put a hand on her back and tried to kiss her. At that point, Jo Yeates screamed and Tabak put his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet. He said: “I was panicking. I wanted to stop her screaming. I wanted to calm her down.” He went on to explain that after strangling her for less than a minute "she went limp, she fell to the floor", Tabak said, adding: "I still can't understand what happened." Once he realised she was dead he told the court that he was in a state of panic and carried her back to his flat to put her into a bicycle

cover adding that he didn’t want anyone to find out what had happened so he put the body in the back of his car. Once he had done this he went back into her flat to get the pizza that she had bought on her way home from work and a sock that had fallen off as he moved the body. He then went to Asda in Bedminster, the supermarket he was heading for before Miss Yeates had waved at him, with her body still in the boot. He then decided to drive to Bristol Airport but stopped at Longwood Lane, Failand where he then dumped the body which was found later by two dog walkers on Christmas Day. After the killing Tabak told the court that he started drinking heavily and searching news

Clift was seen to go to the boot of his friend’s car and retrieve a screwdriver after which a witness saw Mr Barton on the floor bleeding from a head wound and Clift running off discarding both the screwdriver and a top he had been wearing. Jonathan Barton was to spend the rest of his life in hospitals, rehabilitation units and at home where his mother had an extension built so her son could be cared for, the court heard. Sentencing Clift to life with a minimum term of six years, Mr Justice Saunders said: "Many lives have been affected by that moment of madness, caused I have no doubt by drinking excessive alcohol. Anybody who heard the evidence in this court was struck by the enormous waste and futility of what happened."

efts up In the past, shoplifted items tended to be things like razor refills, cans of Coca Cola, sweets and CD’s. However, customers and shop staff last year stole £4.9 billions worth of goods – up 6.2% – as they struggled to hang on to the lifestyle they had become accustomed to before “The Crisis”. Things like expensive cheeses cooked meats and wines now top the list of things being pilfered according to research released yesterday as middle-class people feel they have to keep up with the Jones’s. The theft figures were compiled by Professor Joshua Bamfield, director of the Centre for Retail Research in Nottingham, who is author of the Global Retail Theft Barometer. He said: “More people are stealing and they are stealing more. The problems with the economy, society, politicians and the banking industry have led many people to say ‘it’s alright to steal. I’ve got to look after myself because everyone is looking after themselves’.”

St. Paul’s closed after the service on Friday, St. Paul’s cathedral in the city of london closed its doors to visitors for health and safety reasons – due to the “occupy london Stock Exchange” protest movement that had encamped around Paternoster Square using fires for cooking which posed a potential danger to visitors to the church. This was the first time the cathedral had been closed to visitors since world war II. The Dean of St Paul’s, the right reverend Graeme Knowles had asked the demonstrators to move away from around the entrance and said that it was “with a heavy heart” that he had to close the doors.

Last Tuesday all the offenders in Birmingham jail were locked up for almost 24 hours as G4S had lost a set of master keys with the key to every cell on it. Birmingham is the first jail to be transferred to the private security firm earlier this month and G4S insist that they have contingency plans should a situation as this arise. In July the company said that they would have to shed 123 jobs to come into line with government savings but a spokesman for the Prison Officers Association said that would put the officers in danger. There are currently 1,400 prisoners to 650 officers. The company has refused to say whether the keys have been found or not.

Detained father may be bipolar

Easter bands threaten strike The bands that accompany the religious Easter processions in Malaga have warned they might not be able to participate next year because, if the police continue to stop them from practising in the street, they will not have been able to reach the required level of professional quality. Under a new regulation that came into force on

June 1st this year, the bands are allowed to practise in the street between 8 and 10 pm but irate residents continue to report the noise to the police who then have to take action. The musical director for the Victory band, José Vela, said the problem was that people continued to view their activity as a source of noise and not as the cultural manifestation that

it is. He said the police had received seven denuncias since September which had paralysed the activity of the 700 members of the different bands. The bands are asking City Hall to allocate them a place to practise, preferably outdoors, and permission to do so – otherwise, they say, “we may have to sue City Hall”.

José Breton, who was jailed last week in Cordoba in connection with the disappearance of his two children, apparently told one of the policemen two days before he was arrested that he was “responsible for what had happened but was still not ‘psychologically’ ready to make a statement, adding “I will tell you about tomorrow.” Ruth Breton, 8, and her brother José, 2, were reported missing on October 8th by their father, who told police he had lost them in a park. However, witnesses said they had seen him alone in the park, which was confirmed by CCTV footage. The children had arrived that day from Huelva, where they live with their mother. Police searched a house in the city and a finca on the outskirts

Quakes hit Almería province belonging to Breton's father but found no trace of the children. However, he changed his story several times, which led to his arrest. Breton, who is under suicide watch, speaks little and people dealing with him say he seems unmoved by what could have happened to the children. They say his behaviour seems to support his claim that he is bipolar, although he is not taking any medication.

Two earthquakes registering 3.7 and 3.8 on the Richter scale were felt in Cuevas del Almanzora and Zurgena in Almeria province around 2am on Tuesday, followed by an aftershock of 1.6 two hours later. There were no human casualties and no material damage has been reported. A 52-year-old man and his two sons were killed when a landslide trapped them in their cave-home in Cuevas de Almanzora on October 14th. Tuesday's quakes came five months after the two that partially destroyed Lorca, in neighbouring Murcia.

ETA Costa bombers in court The trial of the two ETA terrorists, Oscar Celarain and Andoni Otegi, who are accused of placing a car bomb in Fuengirola on June 21st, 2002, will begin on Thursday, October 27th, in the National Court in Madrid. The prosecution has asked for jail sentences of 146 years for each man. The two stole a car in Coin on June 19th and packed it with 67 kilos of explosives which they had brought from France. They left it outside the Piramides Hotel in Fuengirola on June 21st and then rang the

Highway SOS Association in San Sebastian at 6.30 that morning to warn them about the bomb. Police in Fuengirola were able to evacuate the hotel and neighbouring buildings before the bomb went off at 7 am, injuring six people, including a

ETA claimed responsibility for the bombing in July in a statement published in the Basque newspaper “Gara”, stating that it was part of the “summer campaign to capture international attention”. The prosecution is also asking for compensation for the people who were injured. It is the first trial of ETA terrorists since the group declared a “definitive cessation of violence” last week.

Crimestoppers are back on the case A new Operation Captura appeal to track down criminals believed to be hiding in Spain Crimestoppers, a British charity organisation dedicated to the apprehension of UK criminals – including those thought to be here in Spain – have announced the launch of their latest campaign and are back on the hunt for 10 serious fugitives wanted for crimes committed in the UK. This latest campaign of Operation Captura marks the fifth anniversary of the joint efforts by Crimestoppers, SOCA (Serious Organised Crime Agency) and other agencies. Since its launch in October 2006, 46 out of the Crimestoppers in Spain “60 most wanted” have been apprehended, with many now behind bars.

This summer has been the best since 2008, with almost 1.5 million tourists visiting the Costa del Sol between July and September, according to figures just published by the National Statistics Institute (INE). A spokesman said this confirmed the slow but steady recovery of tourism on the Costa. He said the figure was not much lower than the 1.7 million visitors in 2008, when the economic crisis began to make itself felt. However, the two main complaints continue to be that visitors are coming for shorter stays and spending less money.

Winter is just around the corner How lovely to wake up to the sound of rain after an exceptionally long dry summer. Not quite so lovely to remember the car roof had decided not to go up when I pushed the button and I hadn't managed to get around to getting it fixed! Well, these things are sent to try us but nevertheless I have spent a pleasant weekend putting away the summer clothes, rooting out the cardies and boots and deciding what I need to buy to keep warm and cosy this winter. A cardigan in Spanish is una rebeca. Rather strange for those called Rebecca but a useful and necessary-as-winter-approaches article of clothing. Of course we also need our sudaderas - sweat shirts jerseys - sweaters, chaquetas - jackets abrigos - coats and impermeables - raincoats When you go shopping for clothes you may need something bigger - más grande or something smaller - más pequeño, longer - más largo, or shorter - más corto

The Centro de Artes de Mijas held an open evening recently to allow prospective students to see their facilities and meet this year's teachers. There was also a presentation to the Mijas Town Hall as a token of appreciation for their support over the year in allowing students' work to be exhibited in their premises. This was a painting of the young Picasso by the late Steve

Fletcher, president.

The centre – which was established in 1972 – offers classes in a variety of media to an international membership and is situated in the heart of the old pueblo overlooking the Plaza Virgen de la Pena. So if you fancy being creative this winter check out their new timetable. There are drawing and painting classes using

pencil, charcoal, pastel, water colour, oils and acrylics as well as sculpture and ceramic classes, covering different levels of experience and abilities. There is also a Saturday morning class for younger students as well as Spanish language classes for beginners and intermediates.

When looking at shoes and boots you may be asked ¿Qué número? What number? as in what size shoe or boot. For women it’s usually a number in the thirties : trienta y seis, 36. treinta y siete, 37. Treinta y ocho, 38. treinta y nueve, 39. For men more often than not it's a number in the forties - cuarenta y tres, 43. cuarenta y cuatro, 44. cuarenta y cinco, 45. cuarenta y seis, 46. To say something is too big Es demasiado grande. Too small - demasiado pequeño Too narrow - demasiado estrecho, Too wide - demasiado ancho As I'm sure you all know : I like it is Me gusta And I'll take it is Me lo llevo. Enjoy getting ready for winter. It's just around the corner. Hasta la próxima - Until next time.

Memo from

Voice Madrid

Muriel Pilkington

Martin Delfín Writes for the English language version of

The end?

Stop the distractions

hree members of the Basque terrorist group appeared on a video sent to the BBC News last week saying that given the current political situation, the group had “decided on the definitive cessation of its armed activity” and called on the governments of Spain and France “to open a direct process of dialogue” aimed at resolving the consequences of the conflict. The statement closed: “With this historic declaration, ETA demonstrates its clear, firm and definitive purpose. ETA calls on Basque society to get involved in this process until peace and liberty are achieved.”

veryone knows that the majority of Basques have been trying for years to live in peace, free of ETA threats, so their magnanimous offer of “peace and liberty” must have caused much hollow laughter in the Basque Country.

ortunately, the Spanish have long memories and can recall several ceasefires which ended as soon as ETA realised it was not going to get its own way with the government in power. As a result polls taken since the statement last Thursday show that two thirds of Spaniards do not believe this is a “definitive cessation” of the violence.

he statement was received cautiously by the majority of politicians who said it was an important step forward, but pointed out that ETA had made no mention of disbanding, handing over its arms or asking its victims for forgiveness.

hat ETA has been demanding since the ceasefire it announced in January this year is an acrossthe-board amnesty for all its members both in and out of jail. As a lead-up to that, the group wants all jailed ETA members to be sent to prisons in the Basque Country – where it will be easier for their families to visit them. It will also, of course, be easier for them to conspire about what to do if this current cessation of violence turns out not to be definitive.

oth the French and Spanish security forces have been warning the authorities since January that this ceasefire, like the others, was called to give ETA a breathing space and time to redeploy. This time around, however, tenacious pursuit by those same security forces means there are probably more ETA

members in jail than outside. ETA in fact has never been as weak as it is now and we are slowly learning more details about this “cessation of violence”.

pparently ETA decided on this step shortly after the May 22nd regional and local elections when a new leftwing pro-independence party called Bildu did spectacularly well in the Basque Country. The government has consistently declared “new” Basque political parties illegal in the past for the simple reason that they were Batasuna – ETA’s banned political wing – under another name. Bildu made a lot of noise about wanting to find peaceful political solutions to the problems caused by ETA’s 43-year-long crusade for independence from Spain so it was allowed to field candidates in the elections.

he first thing the newly elected Bildu mayor of San Sebastian did was remove the King’s portrait from the Town Hall, saying he was irrelevant to the Basque people. You can’t get more explicit than that. And last Saturday, thousands of people took to the streets in Bilbao demanding independence from Spain.

or a couple of years now, the likes of Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams, South African lawyer Brian Currin, Archbishop Tutu and an assortment of other international luminaries have been calling on ETA and the government to make peace. The last meeting of international mediators was held last Monday in San Sebastian and made the headlines in both the Spanish and foreign media. The BBC correspondent described it as “carefully choreographed, and most of the main Spanish dailies seem to have had their stories about the ETA announcement prepared before it was even made”.

t seems to me that the whole charade was set up to help ETA disband – eventually – without losing face.

rom all the reactions following last week’s ceasefire announcement by ETA there are two that stand out the most. One positive response surprisingly came from Popular Party (PP) leader Mariano Rajoy who called the declaration “good news” although he remained cautiously optimistic as the days went by. "It shows how a society knows how to remain united and defend its position because this announcement was made without any concessions," Rajoy said.

ut there is a sector of the PP that is already talking about revenge. His PP colleagues, including Madrid regional premier Esperanza Aguirre and Ignacio Cosidó, the party spokesman for interior affairs, immediately called for the prosecution of ETA members – putting a sensitive issue on the front burner before the Basque terrorists lay down their weapons. Aguirre, a PP hardliner, brewed more scorn by adding that the statute of limitations for murder never runs out.

hile victims' groups are also demanding justice and would like to see the ETA members prosecuted, one family of a murdered victim has publicly asked the organisations to stay out of the upcoming peace process. Enric Lluch, whose uncle Ernest Lluch, a former Socialist health minister who was shot in the head at his home by an ETA assassin in 2000, said that negotiations should be "left to people who are professional in resolving such issues”. “As victims, we are not objective. Our time will come when it comes to recognise the victims but we cannot get involved in the peace process," said Lluch, who serves as vice president for the Ernest Lluch Foundation in Barcelona.

t was a bold but proud statement coming from a family who, like thousands of others, have suffered during ETA’s reign of terrorism of the past 43 years. The Basque terrorists have been blamed for 829 murders and injuring more than 1,000 people in

Spain and France through bombings, shootings and executions. Families are still grieving, yes, but it is time to give peace a chance. The Association of the Victims of Terrorism (AVT), the largest such group, said it wanted justice not vengeance. But from the way they are talking, it seems victims' groups would really like a public lynching.

his is the first time that the political parties have come together to welcome an ETA ceasefire, albeit cautiously. Rajoy’s and Lluch’s encouraging words demonstrate good faith that goes to the heart in trying to resolve that long and painful conflict. Of course, the peace process has not begun and as Interior Minister Antonio Camacho has said, it will enter its most crucial stage in the coming months.

ut there are diversions that are already being put into place. On Monday, the leader of the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) Iñigo Urkullu called for an immediate talks to begin the transfers of ETA prisoners to Basque Country jails – a petition that has been made by both the radical abertzale left as well as ETA. In an effort to try to consolidate his power and wrest control of the region from the Socialist and PP coalition partners as well as keeping the abertzale from dominating the peace process, Urkullu also called for early elections believing that his PNV will once again be swept into power.

hose who have no interest in trying not to jeopardise the peace process – such as the AVT and a large faction of the PP – should back off. The negotiations should be left to the international mediators, such as Kofi Annan and Brian Currin, and government officials; they must not be distracted. The next most important step is negotiating with ETA to lay down its arms and disband. Bargaining chips such as the transfer of prisoners – which should not include any favours for ETA – need time to be ironed out and cannot be introduced from one day to the next.

British workers overseas What – Employment Law news happens if from De Cotta Law someone

European SAT“elite” SOLutions

Where employees work abroad even for many months at a time they may still be entitled to claim the range of rights including unfair dismissal under the British legislation, the Employment Rights Act 1996 (ERA `96). This could be beneficial as these rights can be wider than those provided under Spanish law. It used to be the case that the ERA `96 did not apply to `any employment where the employee ordinarily works abroad´ but this clause was removed in 1999 and there is now no statutory provision dealing with this issue, rather it is a matter of case law. To fall within this legislation, the employee has to prove that there is a sufficiently close connection with Great Britain. The employees in the cases of Serco v. Lawson (2006) and MOD v Wallis (2010) were successful in substantiating this. In the case of Serco v. Lawson, a UK company employee was working in the Ascension Islands and all services were carried out there. The Judge gave two circumstances where an employment relationship might be sufficiently closely connected with GB so as to enable an unfair dismissal claim to be made under the British legislation and these are: (i) where an employee is posted abroad to work for a business conducted in Britain and/or (ii) where he is working in a political or social British enclave abroad. In MOD v. Wallis the employees were employed by NATO in Europe. These employees were the wives of armed forces personnel and were employed as such by reason of their husbands´ employment.

This was sufficient to establish the connection as they were said to be working in a similar situation to (ii) in Serco and were entitled to claim unfair dismissal notwithstanding that they were not employed within GB. The employees also succeeded in claiming sex discrimination on the basis that it is a matter of EU law and therefore irrelevant which national law is applicable, provided that it is the law of a member state within the EU. However in relation to unfair dismissal, the recent case of Duncombe & others v. Secretary of State for Children, Schools and families (2011) narrowed the criteria somewhat and held that employees working or based abroad can claim this right in GB only in exceptional circumstances where the employment has much stronger connections with the country and with British employment law than with any other system of law. It cannot therefore be assumed that responsibility for an employee passes entirely to the overseas organisation in these circumstances. It will depend on the facts of each case. To obtain advice as to British and Spanish employment rights and the applicable law please contact Maria Corder. Tel: (+34) 951 315 161 F: (+34) 951 315 162. Email: mariacorder@decottalaw.net Post: Spanbox B220, Apartado 178, 29100 Coín, Málaga Or drop into De Cotta Law’s new office, opposite La Trocha: Local 6, Sierra Chica, 29100 Coín, Málaga. (Written by De Cotta Law)

dies? If the worst comes to the worst and a loved one dies, what on earth do you do? The majority of people who are not Spanish but live here simply don’t have a clue what the procedures are here. When my neighbour died leaving no will and apparently no relatives we paid the funeral bill and followed what we knew she would have wanted but, the legal mess was immense. She had suffered a heart attack and to all intents and purposes was dead by the time they got her to Hospital Clinico in Malaga but, she was on a ventilator being kept “alive”. Various tests were done and there was no brain activity so the machines were switched off but, had there been activity of any sort, would I have had the right to give the permission necessary to switch off or would there have had to have been a court order? I hadn’t a clue along with pretty much everyone else. So, on Friday November 4th starting at 12:30pm there is going to be an informative meeting at JK’s (on La Trocha Industrial estate, Coin, that is behind the commercial centre and the La Trocha Garage) to tell you what you can and can’t do. Subjects covered will be: What the situation is as far as taxes, including death taxes is there a difference, for instance, if your house/apartment is in one of your names only? Jon Sutton will be advising on this side of things. There will be Cath Dillon advising you on further financial matters. Caroline McFarlane and Ven. David Sutch will be telling you about religious services and what options there are. Overseeing the gathering plus giving an informed talk on funeral directors and repatriation etc., will be Tracey Burns. One person has said that this is morbid. It is not. It is essential that we should all know what to do with finances, funerals and everything else, who to contact and who can help us if the very worst happens. Make the effort to go along. I will be going myself! Written by Kym Wickham

Fuengirola fleamarket wash out

The Fuengirola flea market was unfortunately completely rained off last Saturday morning. Optimistic stall holders were forced to pack up and beat a hasty retreat by the sudden prolonged deluge of heavy rains. The downpour took many of them by surprise with several stall holders simply abandoning goods as they ran to seek shelter. Already closed for two weeks throughout the Fuengirola Feria stallholders were probably hoping for a good turn-out

for the normally busy Saturday morning event that attracts buyers, browsers and sellers from far and wide. Unfortunately this was not to be, even though some did try to battle it out against the inevitable most conceded defeat by 10.00 am with the exception of one entrepreneurial gent who suddenly appeared with a collection of umbrellas for sale, to the cry of “Paraguas” he appeared to be doing a brisk trade to punters without protection!

Brad needs a new home

Brad is a handsome pure bred German Shepherd, who is three and a half years old. His previous owner could not devote much time to him and he regularly escaped from her garden. Now he has found himself at the SOS Animal Refuge where he is feeling very bewildered. Brad loves people, playing ball, and is very intelligent and would be a very rewarding pet to someone prepared to devote some time to him. SOS thinks he would respond very well to proper training to keep him active. He travels very happily in the car and has now been neutered and vaccinated. He is not a guard dog – his personality is loving, and he very much needs a loving family in turn. If you can help, please contact SOS on 653 257 875.

Stay safe on the Costa - new martial arts classes in Coin Carl Morgan has been training in martial arts for 24 years. He has had extensive training in NinpoTtaijutsu, Aikido, Wado-ryu and Shotokan Karate, Ju-jutsu, Hapkido, Krav Maga, kickboxing, Wing Chun and Dim Mak and combines all these styles into one system, Zen Chuan Ninjutsu. A fully licensed professor of martial arts he currently holds a 5th dan black belt, is C.R.B. checked and has also worked in the private security industry. “Martial arts isn’t just a sport, it's a way of life. My system, like many others, focuses on true-to-life scenarios and is not bound by rules, associations and referees. I started teaching martial arts to help people help themselves because everyone has a right to defend themselves and you don't have to be super fit to do it. Combat is just a small

part of this style and like many martial arts, Zen Chuan Ninjutsu can become a big part of your life, ingraining itself into your mind, body and soul. While still retaining traditional martial arts values, I have tried and continue to adapt my form for modern times. Each class will be different and students will only learn that which is relevent, drawing from real life scenarios and tailoring the style to suit the student – after all, no two people are the same,” says Carl. Classes will be held every Monday from at J.K’s Matchroom, Poligono Industrial La Trocha in Coin from 2.30pm for adults (16+), and 3.45pm for kids (8 to 15-year-olds).

Gibraltar

News New UK Calpe house receives New leisure Citizens donation from A Citizenship Ceremony, organised by the Civil Status and Registration Office, took place last Tuesday in the John Mackintosh Hall. The Deputy Governor, Mrs Lesley Pallett, received the oath of allegiance from around 50 new British citizens, and present them with certificates confirming their new status as citizens of the United Kingdom.

health company UK based healthcare company HSA was rebranded in the UK in 2009 as Simplyhealth and will be known as such in Gibraltar from now on. The company has donated £10,000 to Calpe House in London where Gibraltarians and their families can stay if they are referred to specialists in London for medical treatment during their treatment and for recuperation. Charles Tilbury from The Calpe House Trust said: “I can’t thank Simplyhealth enough for

their generous donation. Over 500 people every year from Gibraltar stay at Calpe House. The money will be used to refurbish some of the existing accommodation to make it as pleasant an experience as possible at a time when people can feel quite low.” Mike Wagg spokesperson for Simplyhealth adds: “ Calpe House offers people from Gibraltar an invaluable service and we hope that our donation will help the Trust to continue its fantastic work.”

Government launches urban bike scheme – Gibi Bikes The Government has launched its Urban Bike Scheme. The scheme will be known as “Gibi Bikes”. The mission statement is “Go Green”. The Minister for Transport, the Hon J J Holliday, inaugurated the scheme on Monday by officially commissioning the bike station at Market Place. Work has been ongoing on the construction of the stations and today sees the commencement of the testing phase that will see Gibi Bikes employees riding between different stations testing the scheme. This phase of the project is being rolled out with 11 stations being switched on today and the remaining stations coming into use within the next two of weeks. Once all the stations are operational, the scheme will have 100 bicycles at the disposal of the public at any one time and will operate daily from 07.00am to 10.00pm. The sites that have been switched on today are: Frontier (3 Stations), Waterport Road (Watergardens), Europort,

Grand Parade, Referendum Gates, Line Wall Road, Orange Bastion and Market Place (2 stations). The other remaining sites that are due to become operational shortly are: Waterport Road (Waterport Terraces), Victoria Stadium, Reclamation Road, Commonwealth Parade Car park, Rosia Road, Bayview Terraces, Catalan Bay, St. Joseph’s School, Rosia Parade, Eastern Beach and Europa Point Today, the 332 persons who had registered their interest on the scheme’s website have been written to inviting them to become members of the scheme. Anybody who has yet not applied is invited to log on to the GibiBikes web site www.gibibikes.gi and become a member of the scheme. Users will be asked to provide credit card details on registration. These details are held as security for the bike so that, in the unlikely event the bike is not returned, a punitive fee can be deducted from the

card. As an incentive to become a member, those persons that apply for membership before the end of November will be given an extra month’s membership so their membership will expire at the end of December 2012.There will be an annual subscription fee of £24. This will entitle the user to one hour’s free bicycle use per day. If this hour is exceeded then a charge will apply.

The area had been developed from wasteland that had been used for driving practice by people of the Rock coming up to their tests, into what it is today, 16,500 m2 of landscaping and 2,000 m2 of leisure facilities that makes it a major open-air leisure area for the Rock. There is a children’s play park, paved walkways through landscaped green areas, a tourist information centre, café and a restaurant is planned. Mr Caruana described it as “a wonderful leisure facility for families following significant investment by the Government”, adding that the area will be used by both local people and tourists. The area also boasts stunning views of the Rock itself and also Africa over the straights.

A peaceful forest, planted for war

Written by Jean Joss

Now the weather is getting cooler it's an ideal time for exploring since driving and walking is so much more enjoyable than in the summer heat.

nd we are so fortunate in Andalucia to have so much unspoilt countryside to choose from. If you fancy a change from the beach and the mountains, then drive down Gibraltar way where it is striking how the scenery suddenly changes into vast tracts of woodland stretching inland as far as the eye can see. Turn off to San Roque and just a few kilometres from the town are the pine woods of Pinar del Rey, a huge public recreational area of some 338 hectares, with a fascinating history.

ike all schoolchildren I learned about the Spanish Armada, the gallant exploits of Francis Drake and the pivotal Battle of Trafalgar. I was also

thrilled to hear about sunken Spanish galleons filled with treasure. But I'd never really thought much about the more practical issues of how they were actually built.

hen Spain was the world's leading naval power shipbuilding was of paramount importance and thousands of trees were needed to supply the timber required. The forest of Pinar del Rey was in fact planted around 1800 to provide the pine trees necessary for the Spanish warships. At the time of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 the navy's forces totalled some 150 ships but afterwards the political situation meant that the fleet declined and with the loss of most of

Spain's colonies in the Americas ships were no longer needed in such numbers. Consequently the trees in Pinar del Rey were never cut down – hence the magnificent specimens still growing there. Ferdinand VII then donated the area to the people of San Roque who continue to enjoy it today.

here are two parts to the woods, the southern end is a wonderful picnic spot, fitted out in true Spanish fashion with lots of picnic tables and benches and barbecue facilities. There is easy access on paved roads and plenty of parking. The Alhaja stream runs through this area, with the Alhaja drinking fountain at the main gate and a beautiful

he other night whilst watching Johnny English The Revenge , The Return, The Comeback or whatever it was, at La Trocha in Coin, I was understandably reminded of the original series of James Bond Films .

MoViES to WAtcH out FoR

e Adventures of TinTin By Steven Spielberg starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig TinTin, the intrepid cub reporter with the carefully curled quiff, buys a ship in a bottle and discovers a clue to the whereabouts of a longlost fortune in pirate plunder and, accompanied by his faithful dog Snowy, sets off on a roller-coaster adventure to find the booty – but there are others on the search in this big screen spectacular in which Spielberg pulls out all the stops. Along the way TinTin (Jamie Bell) teams up with whisky-soaked irascible

etting back to my memories of Bond, I remember being enthralled at the antics of Sean Connery in “From Russia with Love” (my first introduction to 007) and from then on I was hooked. I didn’t get to see “Dr No”, the first outing on film, until much later.

Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis, the undisputed king of performance capture) as they face storm-tossed seas and burning deserts. The movie is in topquality 3D, and the performance capture is immaculate in this pacy tale of derring-do which recalls Spielberg's Raiders of The Lost Ark. There is a stalwart cast which includes Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the bumbling detectives Thompson and Thomson, and Daniel

efore I embark on my ramblings, I want to say a big thank you to the team who organise the films in English at La Trocha. Despite not liking everything that is oﬀered, I think it is a valuable community event that we don’t want to lose, so I support all of them.

Craig as the dastardly villain Ivanovich Sakharine. This lovingly crafted movie has been a hit with TinTin fans and critics alike and rattles along at furious speed. It's

likely to make a mint at the Box Office and talk is that this is the first in a new franchise designed to enthrall the movie going public for years to come.

know now that it’s all bunkum, but as a young lad I loved the car chases and the futuristic high tech toys that made up a large part of the fun for me. I loved all those machine gun headlights, poison dart cigarette lighters and steel rimmed bowler hats together with all of the other wonderful, and sometimes ridiculous gadgets that appeared in the movies.

think it was my exposure to these films that fed my liking of all things “tech” and as I have aged, I notice many of these things creeping into everyday life. I mean who would have thought back then we would be walking around with mini computers like smartphones and Ipads and getting our free driving directions from that little woman who lives in that small box you stick on your windscreen , who in turn gets her information from a satellite orbiting around the earth. Back then I used to think the TELEX was a fantastic invention!

hilst researching for this article, I discovered that there have been more than twenty films in the Bond series, despite Ian Fleming only

having written twelve novels – the first being in 1953. I also discovered that other noted authors like Kingsley Amis, Jeﬀrey Deaver, and John Gardener have written Bond novels. I also wasn’t aware that Ian Fleming had died so long ago (1964).

any readers will no doubt be aware of many of the films and I think they can be likened to Marmite, in that you either love them or hate them. I for one love them and always have. My preference is for the Sean Connery incarnations and I never really saw Roger Moore as a credible 007, for me he was just playing around with the role. I do give credit though to Timothy Dalton who took up the mantle for “The Living Daylights” in 1987 and “Licence To Kill” in 1989. In these two films I think he brought out the darker side of Bond and was altogether less frivolous in the role.

sort of liked Pierce Brosnan who took over in 1995 and remained until 2002 having completed four further Bond films and for me the jury is still out on Daniel Craig. I have never seen “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” starring the one-oﬀ George Lazenby and maybe I should add that to my to do list. It should make for a nice rainy Sunday afternoon film.

poofs of Bond are not limited to Jonny English, there have been a number of other oﬀerings like the Austin Powers movies and Casino Royale from 1967 with David Niven. The Bond character is said to have spawned a number of TV series –’ parodies like Our Man Flint, The Man From Uncle, Get Smart and The Matt Helm movies, to name a few. As far as I can discover, Bond number 23 is currently on hold due to financial constraints, although with all the product placement deals with Rolex, Aston Martin, BMW and Bentley to be had, I can’t see it being too long before we are all shaken if not stirred by the next one.

Although this is a great time for socialising you will want to keep a relatively low profile, keeping your thoughts and feelings to yourself. Your emotions are super heightened at the moment and things may not be as they seem; it can be easy to slip into a “poor me” kind of thinking. Therefore, it is imperative that you remain positive so that you can use this incredible energy to its maximum. All things will work out in your favour in the end. Be open minded this week and willing to try out new ideas while listening to both sides of a story. Avoid jumping in too quickly - make sure you think all around a subject first. Personal relationships are your focus and you are working at building life-long bonds to ensure future success. You realise now that what might be impossible for one person to do on their own can become very easy when forces join and work towards the same outcome It is not often that you are without words or stuck for answers but this week could leave you feeling at a loss as all avenues seem to lead to dead ends. Do not over-think but use this time to pull your focus and try to view the bigger picture – your internal lens is undergoing adjustment. Plans are likely to alter but you will be far happier with the results. A change of pace is perhaps just what the doctor ordered. When it comes to dealing with things belonging to others, then you are the person to take care of it all. You are organised, prepared and extremely careful and protective of what belongs to someone else. What about the things that belong to you? You are the sign that allows clutter to build up with your own things and this can drain you of energy - so perhaps the trick is to imagine that everything you have is someone else’s. Time to get busy. If you can remain cool, calm and collected this week you can achieve multitudes and gain the respect of those around you. Your personal power is at an all time high and the confidence that you exude is infectious. Finally the end of a long cycle has been reached and the old ways of doing things won’t work any longer. Make sure that you rise above petty quarrels and negativity then you will have a week where you truly do shine.

As we are in the week of Halloween, buy two pumpkins, one for your Jack-o’-lantern and another for this delicious, warming soup. This recipe was supplied by Ian Wooldridge, Head Chef of Kimbridge Farm, Hampshire.

Pumpkin Soup Ingredients: ● 1 medium pumpkin, peeled & chopped ● 1 large onion, peeled & chopped ● 4 large carrots, chopped ● 1 large potato, peeled & chopped ● 2 litres of chicken or vegetable stock ● 500gm carton of passata ● 2 tsp of curry powder ● 2 tsp of paprika ● Salt and freshly ground black pepper ● Olive oil for frying ● Cream and dried pumpkin seeds to garnish

Directions Heat the oil in a large saucepan (or preferably a pressure cooker) and add the onion, carrot and potato. Cook until the onion is soft. Add the pumpkin and stock. Bring to the boil and add the passata. Cover and simmer gently until the vegetables are soft and tender. Add the curry powder and paprika and then simmer for a further 5 minutes. Blend with a hand blender, or cool and liquidise. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve into warm bowls with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds.

Give yourself a big pat on the back – you deserve it. There have been some huge changes occurring recently and the big diﬀerence is that in the past you were always waiting or depending upon others to get things started or in some way providing for you. Now, however, there is a complete role reversal and others now come to you for direction and guidance. The good news is your self-confidence is given a well-earned boost.

A certain relationship may need re-defining and it will be important to set bottom lines and let the other party know how much you are prepared to put up with. Interactions with others do not always go the way we expect them to and our ideals are not always met. Do not take things for granted or let misunderstandings build up or brush them under the carpet.

There could be chaos going on around you but you have the upper hand as inside at your core there is a growing sense of calmness and peace. You are likely to be more aware of your choices and options as well as opportunities that are available to you. This self-assured nature causes others to be attracted towards your energy.

This is not the time to be afraid of rejection, hold your head up high, shoulders back and let the world know your insights.

Prepare to find something you have either been looking for, something you gave up on and are returning to, or a clear road sign that gives you validation that you are on the right track. You have reached the end of a phase and are on the brink of a new one with changes in your professional and social life. Focus yourself in the present, trust your instincts and take those extra risks and chances you know are right for you.

DRESS, SHOES, STIFF HAIR, EYEBROWS UP TO THE ROOF AND THOSE EARRINGS....

She was a bit early for Halloween ... the normally well dressed one must have got dressed in the dark! Apparently poor Coleen Rooney hadn’t been told that this season’s fashion is based around elegance when she went to husband Wayne Rooney’s 26th birthday party in Manchester ‘s Wing’s Chinese restaurant in Lincoln Square on Sunday which, on the invitations that went out, named the dress code as “casual”. The dress, by designer Phillip Armstrong certainly didn’t come up to scratch as elegant and with its puckered zip down the back and scarlet lace over what

looked like a bit of white nylon, she must have been seen coming when she paid around £900 for this eﬀort – but she has tweeted that she loved it. The usually well dressed Mrs Rooney had also gone for a professional make-over with her make-up being overdone by Sadie Day (has she got any pan stick left in her make-up kit after what she’d put on Coleen?) and her eyebrows were painted so high she looked like a pantomime dame! She had her hair swept up into a

high chignon with so much hairspray on it was as stiﬀ as a board and to top it all, what about those earrings??? The shoes, Laboutin’s of course, looked too tight or was it just that the 6” heels were pushing her feet so far forward that they just looked that way. Now, this sounds a bit like we’re having an unnecessary go at Coleen. Far from it. She usually looks good with her natural style but whoever persuaded her to go with this lot must have been mad. Or maybe she was just

trying to cheer up hubby Wayne – who arrived in dark shirt and jacket and jeans, after his team’s earlier 6 - 1 defeat against arch rivals Manchester City – with the brightness of it all. Gareth Barry and Joe Hart – two of City’s players but who are also England colleagues of Rooney were at the party. Stick to your own style and keep the light on when you get dressed in future Coleen – it’s far better, and take that frock to the nearest charity shop in time for Halloween!

Thousands of tickets for Britney Spears' concert in Birmingham haven’t been sold. Only days before her first gig, promoters fear that the 16,000-capacity LG Arena at Birmingham may be only half full. In an attempt to sell the tickets, prices have dropped from £55 to £30. Unlike her past tours that have sold out quickly, tickets for Spears’ current tour have not moved as fast. Therefore tour promoter Live Nation Entertainment is offering tickets for half price in most markets in a promotion through Groupon.

An apple a day New Fish Spa oﬀers massages and still the best alternative therapies “Spa Pedicure” Forget the so-called superfruits like guavas, broccoli sprouts and blueberries. Studies have shown that an apple a day really does keep the doctor away.

Cholesterol Apples can help to keep LDL-cholesterol – the bad type – at bay. A US study found that when women between 45 and 65 ate 75g of dried apples a day, their LDL-cholesterol fell by an average of 23 per cent, and their HDL-cholesterol – the good type – increased by four per cent. Cancer Most of the apple's antioxidant and anticancer activity comes from flavonoids and polyphenols present in the peel and the flesh. The antioxidant activity of 100g of apple is the equivalent of

1500mg of vitamin C. Apple extracts have been shown to inhibit the growth of liver, lung, colon and breast cancer cells in the laboratory.

Stroke A Dutch study found that people who ate more white-fleshed fruit such as apples and pears were up to 50 per cent less likely to have a stroke. The researchers calculated the risk of stroke was reduced by nine per cent for every 25g of apple or pear eaten. Healthy snack Apples are easy to carry around, low in calories and make the perfect healthy snack. Apart from being a healthy alternative to a bag of crisps, apples also help you feel full for longer, so you don't feel the need to snack.

Advanced whitening products are applied to the teeth after a full dental dam is applied, this is then activated in stages by the laser unit.The product used is a number one market leader with active desensitizers, so the teeth are not left painful or sensitive as can be the case with other treatments. “The perfect white teeth” treatment not only returns teeth to their natural white state but improves oral health by destroying harmful bacteria found in gingivitis and periodontal

disease. Not only will you have a white healthier smile but also clean fresh breath. The treatment is useful for gentlemen who haven't visited the dentist in a while, as it is not undertaken in the confines of the dental chair but in the comfort of the health spa or salon environment.

Hans Edelman I would like to make known my special experience with pickpockets on the Costa del Sol, in order to give a warning to helpful decent people. On September 8th, I entered Mercadona supermarket in Benalmádena-Costa, Avenida Federico García Lorca, just to buy some milk. There an unknown man asked me to help him lift down a carton of milk from the top shelf. Of course I helped him. But he

Benalmadena created confusion by throwing down a pack of milk (among other things). An accomplice of his took advantage of this confusion pulling the wallet out of my Jeans pocket. So, almost all my money for the month was stolen. Some minutes later, with the monitoring device of Mercadona supermarket one could see on the screen me with the pickpockets on their reckless work. Certainly, I

Julian Ward 'Residencia' beware! Spanish law dictates: All EU citizens planning to reside in Spain for more than three months should register in person at the Oficina de Extranjeros in their province of residence or at designated Police stations. Upon registration you will be issued with a certificate printed on green paper. (NB: This is not a valid form of ID but does prove your NIE.) I have confirmed with the Agencia Tributaria (The Spanish Tax Office) that a person so registered is thereby tax resident in Spain and thus must make tax returns on their worldwide income and assets.

have reported the incident to the police. But my money is gone, and it is quite unlikely that I’ll get it back. With this mail I want to give helpful people a warning that they should be very careful in case they are asked in a supermarket on the Costa del Sol for help by strangers. Those strangers might be pickpockets.

by email Any non-resident bank accounts will be frozen and any other duties or obligations of a resident will apply. This probably includes not being able to drive a nonSpanish registered vehicle, worldwide inheritance tax, etc. but the non-resident Foreign Owners Property Tax does not apply. The registration may be cancelled by attending the office where it was issued, with your original passport and a copy, and completing an application form (in duplicate). If you have registered and are leaving Spain not to cancel the registration would mean you continue to be tax resident.

I am not sure what liability one would still have for the period for which they were tax resident. Editor says: There seems to be a worrying “probably” and an “I am not sure” in this letter so I will be asking for clarification over the next week as to the legal standing of the residencia and will have an article in the paper to clarify exactly where you stand. However, if you live in a country and it is a requirement of that country’s law that you become a resident after that time, you should do so. Don’t forget that, if you do not comply with the law, you could be liable to deportation!

Buying and using a Telescope I am always being asked about which telescope someone should buy and what they can expect to see with it.

here are basically three types of telescope available – a refractor, a reflector and a Cassegrain or Catadioptric telescope. But they all do the same thing, which is to gather as much light as possible from a faint object and then magnify the image.

refractor telescope is what most people think of in telescopes. It has an objective lens at one end that collects the light and sends it straight down the tube to an eyepiece at the other end that you look through. A reflector telescope uses a curved mirror at the far end of the telescope to collect the light and then reflects it back up the tube to another mirror which angles the image to 90° to come out of the side of the telescope into the eyepiece. A Cassegrain telescope is almost a mixture of the two; it uses a lens and a mirror to reflect the image back up the tube to a smaller mirror which then reflects it back down the tube again to come out through a hole in the centre of the main mirror and into the eyepiece.

while a 6mm eyepiece will magnify to around 120 times. But there is a down side to magnification, the more you magnify the image the fainter and less clear it will become so only objects such as the Moon or the brighter planets will benefit from higher magnification. Faint, deep sky objects such as galaxies and nebulas always look better with low magnification.

ach telescope has its own good and bad points. A refractor telescope can be used to look at objects on the Earth such as ships and other distant objects while a reflector always gives an ‘upside down/left to right’ image because of the mirrors. This inverted image doesn’t matter when looking at celestial objects but is useless for looking at Earth bound objects. But because mirrors are cheaper to make than lenses then reflectors tend to cost less than refractors.

ize matters in telescopes, it is the light collecting properties that are important and the bigger the telescope then the more light it can collect. A refractor with less than a 3” lens or a reflector with less than a 6” mirror is frankly not worth paying for. Advertising that claims 200, 300 or even 400 times magnification should also be avoided as it is not the telescope that magnifies the image it is the eyepiece. And a decent telescope should come with a selection of at least two or three interchangeable eyepieces.

yepieces come in a variety of sizes and the smaller the eyepiece the bigger the magnification – so a 20mm eyepiece on a 6” reflector telescope will give a magnification of about 35 times,

o what can you expect to see through your telescope? Well don’t be misled by images you see in magazines or on television. These wonderful full-colour pictures of nebulas and galaxies have been taken with telescopes costing millions of pounds and are usually the result of lengthy time exposures using specialised cameras taking multiple images all combined together. The best that you will see of a nebula or galaxy is a fuzzy blob. You will however be able to see craters and mountains on the Moon, Jupiter and its four largest moons, the rings of Saturn and the changing phases of Venus. Myriads of faint stars in the Milky Way and other objects such as comets that are usually too faint to be seen with the naked eye will now be visible. But you must NEVER look at the Sun through a telescope, it will burn your eye and cause irreparable damage.

y advice then is unless you intend to use your telescope to its maximum and not just leave it collecting dust in a cupboard, then I would recommend buying a pair of binoculars. £100 will buy a ‘toy’ telescope but £100 spent on binoculars will get a very respectable pair and you will see just as much through them, if not more, than with a cheap telescope.

Ford’s 80 years at Dagenham In a year of milestones for Ford of Britain, the company is celebrating its centenary and also recognising 80 years of production at Ford Dagenham. From Edsel Ford digging the first turf in May 1929 to the first vehicle, a Model AA truck(pictured), rolling off the production line on 1st October 1931, Ford’s Dagenham estate took 28 months to build. Dagenham today is home to an engine plant, a stamping plant and tool room, a powertrain engineering team and a substantial transport operation.

Italy’s Marco Simoncelli dies in Sepang 11. Instead of sliding straight off the race track, as is normal in most of these type of accidents, Simoncelli was then dragged by his bike

which occurred at almost the same time and left Simoncelli motionless on the track. Very much a rising star, the 24-year-old was the 2008 250cc world champion and had claimed his best ever MotoGP finish of second place just one week earlier at Phillip Island.

and wishes are with them at this time. I hope they all stay close and pull through this tragedy together."

taken by ambulance to the medical centre, and the race was immediately stopped and later cancelled so that medical staff could continue to focus completely on treating the Italian. Sadly, Simoncelli succumbed to his injuries at 16:56 local time. The Italian fell from fourth place after losing the front of his motorcycle through the right-hand turn

which had regained grip and was partially upright as it veered back across to the centre of the track. Lying sideways and still facing forwards, the Gresini Honda rider was then hit from behind by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi, who had no chance to avoid the sliding #58. Simoncelli's helmet came off during those impacts,

In a cruel twist of fate, Simoncelli's death is the first in the premier-class since another Gresini rider, Daijiro Kato, was killed at the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix. 2011 world champion Casey Stoner told reporters: "I'm so shocked and saddened by the loss of Marco. When things like this happen it reminds you how precious life is, it makes me feel sick inside. All I can say is how sorry I am for Marco's whole family I can't imagine what they are all going through and our thoughts

Luke Donald wins the Disney First half failures and captures PGA money title cost Malaga dear Luke Donald considered this his biggest win of the year, he was presented the trophy by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck but there wasn’t anything Mickey Mouse about the way Donald took the title. The Disney event featured the weakest field of any Donald has played this year. It's the final tournament of the PGA Tour season, filled with dozens of players well down the money list who were desperate to keep their cards for next year. It hardly compares with his wins at the Match Play Championship in Arizona or Europe's flagship event at Wentworth. Perhaps it was only fitting that after Donald ran off six birdies on the back nine Sunday and closed with an 8under 64 to win the Children's Miracle Network Classic, he struggled to hoist the bronze trophy over his head. "It's about a 60-pound trophy," Donald said. "I nearly dropped it on the green."

It felt about as heavy as the burden of expectations he placed on himself all week. Donald knew that his best chance to win the PGA Tour money title, and state a convincing case that he should be voted player of the year, was to win Disney. He had not played at Disney in eight years, and because his caddie was on his honeymoon, Donald had to borrow Gareth Lord from Thomas Bjorn.

He was five shots behind going into the final round, and four shots back at the turn. And then he left no doubt who was No. 1 in the world — or on the PGA Tour. Starting with a simple upand-down from just short of the par-5 10th green, Donald unleashed the kind of golf expected of the world's No. 1 player. He dropped a wedge into 8 feet on the 11th, and an 8-iron to 6 feet on the

12th. Then came a lob wedge to 5 feet on the 13th — Simpson missed from just outside of him — and an 18foot birdie on the 14th to take the lead for the first time. Donald then rolled in a 45-foot birdie putt for his sixth straight birdie, crouching when it fell, slamming his fist in a rare display of emotion, that sent him on his way. He finished with three straight pars. By winning, Donald captured the money title with just over $6.68 million — $335,861 clear of Simpson, who tied for sixth — and kept alive his bid to become the first player to win the money list on the PGA and European tours in the same season. Donald lead in Europe by about $1.8 million with just over a month to go. "I'm thrilled," Donald said. "I'm over the moon."

Sergio Garcia Wins Commentator Sid Castello Masters by Waddell diagnosed with bowel cancer 11 Strokes Sergio Garcia ended nearly three years without a victory in dominant style, winning his home Castello Masters by 11 shots with a 27-under-par total. The 31year-old had taken an eight-shot lead into the final day and dominated again with a superb round of 63 on the Club de Campo del Mediterraneo course where he was boys champion at the age of 12. For the 31-year-old Spanish star, this was his second 63 of the week with a 64 in between – to beat the previous biggest winning margin of the European Tour season by three. Garcia, who was also the tournament promoter, finished with his ninth birdie of the day. And it gave the Spaniard his ninth European Tour career victory. There have been only two bigger in the history of the circuit – Tiger Woods won the 2000 US Open by 15 and Ernie Els the 2005 Asian Open by 13 – while the only player to finish more under par was Els, 29 under at the 2003 Johnnie Walker Classic. 'That was for Seve,' said Garcia after sending a kiss

to the skies. Seve Ballesteros, of course, died of brain cancer in May. "It's hard to say that you expect to fire like I did, but I was feeling good and I've been improving all year," Garcia said. "At the beginning of the week there's always a little extra pressure because you want to do well in front of your home fans and on your home course. But I felt really good and it showed."

The former BBC darts commentator Sid Waddell has been diagnosed with

bowel cancer. The 71-year old, whose voice has become synonymous with the sport, left the BBC in 1994 to broadcast for Sky Sports.

Waddell thanked fans for their best wishes via Twitter, saying "Bowel cancer's not a barrel of laughs so I'll be switching off from Twitter until things get better." The Cambridge graduate is also a published author and screenwriter. Northumberland-born Waddell is well-loved for his colourful and excitable commentary style, with his best-known lines including "There's only one word for it – 'magic darts"'.

Malaga 0-4 Real Madrid After last week’s disaster in Levante, Malaga faced Real Madrid in what was seen to be a test to see how far Malaga had progressed under Manuel Pellegrini and whether they were seen to be a challenge to the top tier in La Liga. As early as the 3rd minute Joaquin was bought down in the Madrid box, but no penalty said the referee and from then on the first half went downhill. On 11 minutes Higuain collected the ball in the box with a hint of offside but ran on to slot the ball past Ruben. With Malaga chasing shadows Madrid looked comfortable and it was no surprise to see them go two up. A cross by Di Maria was met by Ronaldo in between two Malaga defenders to slot home on 22 minutes. Casillas saved well on 25 minutes from a Malaga attack but Malaga were showing little in the way of any promise they had shown in the earlier games. With Madrid pressure the ball was given away to Ronaldo who slotted home from outside

Kaka bursts between Eliseu & Toulalan the box on 27 minutes. On 38 minutes a corner was headed back to Ronaldo who back headed it in for his hat-trick. After the drubbing of the first half Malaga started the 2nd half as you would have expected. Carzola hit the bar and Joaquin and Eliseu forced great saves from Madrid's Casillas. Later on in the half a Rondon shot just missed the goal and Eliseu had another effort saved well. As Mourinho said in his post match interviews 2-4 would have been a fair reflection of the game. Next game is away at Rayo Vallacano on Wednesday and then home again on Sunday night at 10pm again Españyol. Report by Scott Forbes

Final insult as Les Bleus are fined France have been fined £10,000 for advancing towards the All Blacks' haka in the moments before the World Cup final. The International Rugby Board dished out the punishment after Les Bleus encroached within the required distance behind the 10-metre line in their own half. France captain Thierry Dusautoir led his team-mates in a V-formation towards New Zealand's traditional war dance in a huge statement of intent.

New Zealand were crowned world champions for the first time in 24 years after squeezing past an inspired French team by just a single point. An already pulsating atmosphere within the ground before the start had been stoked still further when France's players formed an arrow formation to face down the haka, and then advanced slowly over

halfway as the capacity crowd roared. Tony Woodcock's early try and a penalty from fourth-choice fly-half Stephen Donald were enough to see the All Blacks home in an extraordinary match that

defied all pre-match predictions. France produced their best performance of the tournament and appeared to be close to pulling off one of the great upsets after captain Thierry Dusatoir's

try with half an hour remaining set up a nerveshredding finale. But Francois Trinh-Duc missed a long-range penalty before desperate defence saw the favourites hang on for a famous win. The final whistle triggered scenes of wild jubilation at Eden Park as a nation celebrated a repeat of the outcome from the very first World Cup final in 1987. And when skipper Richie McCaw hoisted the Webb Ellis trophy high into the night, a quarter of a century of hurt was blown away in an explosion of fireworks and cheering.

Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher tolds 5 Live's Colin Patterson he was "on my knees in front of the television" when his side scored their sixth goal during the 6-1 defeat of arch-rivals United. The former Oasis star's first solo album had just charted at number one, but Gallagher says the achievement was "overshadowed" by an "incredible day" at Old Trafford. Asked what went so right for Man City Noel quipped “I think the fact that Alex Ferguson rested Howard Webb probably had a lot to do with it, and also the fact that we have the best player in the league, David Silva, and Mario Ballotelli what can you say he is just a legend."
