Royal baby: Messages of congratulations flood in
Congratulatory messages continue to pour in from around the world to mark the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son, the third in line to the throne. Prince William said the couple "could not be happier" following the birth of the boy, who weighed 8lb 6oz and is yet to be named, at 16:24 BST on Monday.
Mother and son were expected to leave hospital on Tuesday. The couple are expected to talk to their medical team before they make any decision to go home.
At Buckingham Palace,
royal watchers and tourists queued in the rain to catch a glimpse of a bulletin announcing news of the birth, which was displayed on an easel, and removed after 24 hours. Guardsmen outside the palace brought a celebratory feel to the proceedings ahead of the Changing of the Guard, playing "Congratulations" to the crowd.

the couple's choice of names for their son, with James emerging as a clear favourite for the name of the little Prince on Monday night – at least among the betting public.
At 2/1, it overtook the earlier leader among boys’ names, George, which is now 5/1 as is Henry – Prince Harry’s real name. Meanwhile he is being called Baby Cambridge. Bookmakers Coral said the royal birth was the biggest non-sporting betting event in the company’s history with cash staked on everything including hair colour and weight.
The name the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge choose will set a trend for a generation of babies, with other new parents having a boy anxious to copy them. The scale of the international interest shown so far has been awesome. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Generally speaking I would say that I’m pretty unshockable. I’m one of those “yeah right!” types that take everything in my stride. However, last Wednesday when I was out and about in Fuengirola I saw a girl of between 9 and 11-years-old walking toward me who was wearing cut off black leggings (fine), fairly high heeled shoes for a child of that age (getting dodgy now) and a black T-shirt with bright pink writing across it that said: “I dream of being raped”. Speechless didn’t begin to come into it – which I can tell you is pretty rare for me. The child didn’t appear to be English so I can only think that her parents, who were with her at the time, hadn’t got a clue what their child’s T-shirt said. I’d like to know what kind of moronic company produced such a thing in the first place too. So, if you have children or want to buy a T-shirt for yourself that looks nice, for heavens sake if you don’t understand what’s written on it find out before it gets worn. Unbelievable! I was told this week that the thieves are at it again at

It happened to someone last week and they were amazed at the number of other people doing their denuncias in the police station who had also been “done” in the last couple of hours. Ah, and no, the CCTV in the cafeteria where the lady’s handbag was stolen wasn’t working – the only one that wasn’t so, how did the thieves know??!
–New Yorkers were informed of the news when it was tickered in lights at Times Square. –In London, Trafalgar Square was lit blue for a boy, while the BT Tower delivered the message: "It's a boy!" –At its peak, there were more than 25,000 tweets per minute about the royal baby's birth.

This is a child whose destiny is to inherit one of the oldest hereditary thrones in the world. It will be a life which will be shielded from many of the

PM to give his version Lesbians and single of Bárcenas case women barred In response to mounting pressure, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Monday that he would appear in Parliament to give “his version” of accusations made by the former Partido Popular treasurer, Luis Bárcenas, who testified before a judge last week that he gave the PP leader and other top party officials large sums of money in cash via a slush fund he had created from illegal donations made by companies.
In response to a question asked by a Romanian reporter at a joint news conference in Madrid with visiting Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, Rajoy said he had spoken on Sunday with the speaker of the lower house about appearing in parliament to debate the current political and economic situation.
Lesbian couples and single women are to be denied access to assisted reproduction techniques such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilisation, if the Health Ministry's proposals for new basic services offered under the public health system are accepted by regional health departments.
Both Rajoy and PP secretary general María Dolores de Cospedal have denied receiving cash payments from Bárcenas. Rajoy said: “This is the right moment to explain in parliament what has been done so far and clear up legitimate doubts that the public has.”
However, he insisted he had already addressed the issue in February, when the scandal began to break.
Bárcenas is currently in preventive custody at Madrid’s Soto del Real prison in connection with his role in the Gürtel kickbacks-for-contracts corruption case, in which a number of PP officials have been indicted. Bárcenas is thought to have salted away millions of euros in Swiss bank accounts, and is facing a range of charges including fraud and tax evasion.

Ministry sources insisted there were no ideological motives behind its recommendations, which are aimed at providing the regional authorities with criteria on which to "prioritise" cases of assisted reproduction. Under current rules set out in a decree approved in 2006, the public health
system will only fund assisted reproduction in cases of "clinically established" sterility. It is on that basis that some regions such as Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country and some hospitals in Madrid offer the treatment to single women and lesbians. In other regions that adhere strictly to the letter of the decree, it is difficult for single women and lesbians to receive this treatment at public hospitals.
The proposals on assisted reproduction also establish that such treatment can be offered to "couples" that meet certain criteria – the woman cannot be older than 40 years old and no more than 38 in cases of artificial insemination
from a male partner. The male partner cannot be more than 50 years old. Couples in which either partner has voluntarily undergone sterilisation or cannot complete the treatment through reasons of health or social factors will be excluded from receiving assisted reproduction. Individual regions are responsible for health care, with funding provided by the central government.
Spain broke EU rules to support shipyards
State support for Spain's ship building industry will have to be repaid following a ruling by the European Commission. The scheme gave tax advantages to groups of investors that financed ship purchases.
The Commission said the scheme made shipyards more competitive by cutting the price of ships by up to 30 per cent. It has ruled the arrangement "unlawful" and said investors will
have to pay back tax gains made from April 2007. Workers in Spanish shipyards had been protesting ahead of the decision by the European Commission. They fear the ruling will hurt Spanish shipyards and jobs will be lost. The European Commission stressed that the ruling does not affect an existing scheme which allows the government to give tax advantages
directly to the ship building industry. It also noted that Spanish shipyards benefit from aid designed to boost innovation, regions and exporters. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has been lobbying on behalf of the industry.
Now the Industry Ministry, the trade unions and businessmen's associations have agreed to jointly appeal the ruling.
Record tourist numbers last month Record numbers of foreign tourists came to Spain last month, with the country receiving over six million visitors for the first time ever in June.
According to the latest survey by the Industry, Energy and Tourism Ministry, the number of foreign visitors rose by 5.3 per cent over the same month last year to 6.315 million.
In a statement, the ministry said: “The figure marks a new record high for the month of June, surpassing six million tourists for the first time ever.”
The June figures follow a good performance for the previous month, indicating that the vital tourist industry is recovering from the recession in the euro zone.
The June figures were boosted by increased numbers of visitors from the Scandinavian countries and Britain – Spain’s main market – due to unrest in rival markets such as in Egypt and Turkey. In the first half of the year, the numbers were also boosted by a rise of 33 per cent in the number of visitors from Russia.

Two Spanish aid workers with Medecins sans Frontieres (MSF) who were kidnapped in Kenya nearly two years ago and held over the border in Somali were freed last Thursday and arrived home on Friday on a Spanish Air Force plane. The families asked the press and public to give Montserrat Serra and Blanca Thiebaut privacy and breathing space to recover their physical strength after the ordeal. The two women were
kidnapped on October 13th, 2011, by gunmen who opened fire on their vehicle inside the Dadaab refugee camp complex, shooting and wounding their Kenyan driver. Dadaab, said to be the world's largest refugee camp, houses some 500,000 people who have fled years of conflict and drought across the border in Somalia. Ms Serra, a qualified teacher from Girona in Spain, had been working in Kenya for two months before she was
kidnapped. She had previously worked on aid projects in Latin America and Yemen. An agricultural engineer by training, Ms Thiebaut from Madrid had not long finished a degree at the London School of Economics at the time of her abduction. Kenya accused the alQaeda-aligned group al-Shabab of being behind their kidnapping and a spate of others in 2011, thus threatening the country's security. It sent
troops into Somalia to pursue them and later seized most of the border region from al-Shabab. According to Spanish newspaper reports, the two women were kept separate, spending most of their time chained, gagged and blindfolded. A spokesman for MSF said his organisation could not give details about the negotiations to rescue the women because it would endanger the lives of many people in Somalia.
The deputy to the High Commissioner for Brand Spain – a government initiative aimed at improving the image of the country at home and abroad – was removed from his post on Saturday after insulting Catalans on Twitter. Juan Carlos Gafo Acevedo tweeted on Friday “Catalans de mierda, they don’t deserve anything,” after Catalan nationalists booed the Spanish anthem during the opening
ceremony of the World Swimming Championships in Barcelona. Gafo, 50, a former ambassador to Lebanon, tried to excuse himself on Saturday afternoon, telling another Twitter user who had reproached him: “Total respect, but you have to understand the anger when a world championship is inaugurated – I would never boo the Catalan anthem.” Two minutes later, he added: “All I mean
to say is that the anthem deserves respect. I would never boo the Catalan anthem; I was not referring to all Catalans, whom I fully respect.” Although Gafo has only 40 followers on Twitter, a retweet of the message made its way to the Foreign Ministry, to which the Brand Spain office answers. Minister José Manuel García Margallo got in touch with Brand Spain High Commissioner
Carlos Espinosa de los Monteros to ascertain if the statements attributed to his top aide were true. Ministry sources said Margallo considered the insult “intolerable and incompatible with the spirit of the Spain brand”. After meeting with his direct superior, Gafo sent a final message offering an official apology and announcing he would not return to his post.

Judges to decide joint custody
the Cabinet has approved a proposed reform of the civil code that no longer makes an exception of the joint custody of children in divorce cases. the draft law presented by Justice Minister alberto ruiz-Gallardón at a news conference after the regular Cabinet meeting on Friday will allow the judge to decide what the best arrangement is for the children involved, even if this is against the interest of the parents.
Currently, custody normally goes to one parent – usually the mother – who as such has preferential rights to occupy the family home. the current legislation only allows for joint custody in divorce cases when both parents have agreed to such a settlement. the criteria to be used by the judge will be based on the “greater interests” of the children in question, above those of the parents.

World News G20 targets global tax avoidance and evasion
Finance ministers from the G20 group of leading nations formally backed plans to tackle international tax avoidance and evasion at a two-day meeting in Moscow last week. In a statement, they supported the automatic exchange of tax information between countries and backed plans by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development to stop firms moving their profits
across borders to avoid taxes. The OECD said current tax rules, some dating to the 1920s, were created to avoid "double taxation" of companies working in more than one country – but it said they were being abused to allow "double nontaxation". Last month, the G8 group of leading economies agreed a deal to "fight the scourge of tax evasion", and nations including the UK, France, Germany, the
USA and Australia are taking part in a pilot information exchange scheme.
Many multinational firms currently avoid tax – legally – by means including loopholes and tax havens, but the new rules could require them to pay more in the countries where they do business. Firms including Google, Starbucks, Amazon and Apple have been criticised for the amount of tax they pay. Earlier this year, MPs
attacked Google for routing £3.2bn of UK sales through Dublin and paying little tax as a result. Starbucks has been questioned for transferring money to a Dutch sister company in royalty payments, though the firm agreed to pay more tax after strong public criticism. The companies point out that these schemes are legal and they have a duty to shareholders to minimise their tax bills.
Dubai rape case Dunes threaten Star Wars film set woman 'free to go'
Sand dunes migrating over the Tunisian desert are on the brink of burying a famous Star Wars film set – the fictional city Mos Espa which featured in The Phantom Menace, "Episode I" of the Jedi saga. Sited on the planet Tatooine, this was the home of the young Anakin Skywalker, later to become Darth Vader.
Scientists used the dwellings as a fixed geographic reference to measure the migration of giant wind-blown crescentshaped dunes, or barchans. Homes are rarely built in dune fields,
and this study illustrates why.
It shows dune movements on Earth are 10 times faster than barchans on Mars. Moving at around 15m a year, the front edge of the barchan appears to have made contact with some of the Mos Espa buildings earlier this year, and is encroaching on Qui-Gon's Alley.
The barchan will probably continue on its journey past the city site, which in due course will re-emerge from the sand.

Veil row sparks unrest
crowds of youths threw stones at police and set fire to cars in a second night of disturbances in the Paris suburb of Trappes in the early hours of Sunday. The trouble was sparked by the arrest of a man whose wife was told by police on Thursday to remove an Islamic face-covering veil, banned in public. He has been accused of trying to strangle the officer. Up to 300 people attacked a police station in Trappes on friday night where the man was being held. The suspect, described as a Muslim convert aged 21, was later released on Saturday pending an appearance in court. The ban on wearing the full face veil in public was introduced in April 2011.

Women 'banned from shopping alone'
Islamic clerics and tribal elders in Pakistan's north-west khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have barred women from shopping without a male relative. The step is reportedly aimed at keeping men from being distracted during the holy month of Ramadan. It is not clear whether it will be lifted when it ends. The annual period of fasting and prayer this year falls in July. The clerics have requested police help enforce their ban and called on shopkeepers not to serve unaccompanied women. One told reporters he feared the ban would be bad for business and the region's reputation. Most women in Pakistan's tribal north-west cover their heads and bodies.
US jets bombed Great Barrier Reef extramarital sex and alcohol consumption.
The case angered rights groups and the authorities in Norway. Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide tweeted: "Marte is released! Thanks to everyone who signed up to help."
US fighter jets dropped inert bombs on the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's coast during a training exercise that went wrong last week. The two planes jettisoned four bombs in more than 125 ft water, away from coral, to minimise damage to the World Heritage Site, the US navy said. The jets had intended to drop at a bombing range on a nearby island, but Tuesday's mission was aborted. The AV-8B Harriers were low on fuel and could not land loaded, the navy added. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral structure rich in marine life. It stretches for more than 1,680 miles along Australia's eastern coast.

Pope arrives in Rio de Janeiro Pope Francis arrived in Brazil on Monday on his first trip abroad since becoming head of the Catholic Church in March, to attend the week-long Roman Catholic World Youth Day festival.
The first Latin American Pope was welcomed by President Dilma Rousseff to cheers and applause from the waiting crowd. The Pope waved before being taken in an open car to tour the city then on to meet President Roussef at the governor's palace. After he left, police fired tear gas to disperse protests against both the government and the cost of the visit. Pope Francis has refused to use an armoured Popemobile, despite requests from Brazilian officials. The
authorities have increased security during the Pope's visit, following weeks of nationwide protests against corruption and bad governance. Some 22,000 security staff will be on duty during his visit. More than a million young Catholics are expected to gather in Rio for World Youth Day, which takes place every two years, and is a celebration of the Catholic faith. On the first day of his visit, the Pope led a service on Copacabana beach, and visited a shanty town largely cleared of drug traffickers earlier this year by police and the Brazilian army.
The pontiff´s schedule includes a meeting with young inmates at a Rio prison. He also will
inaugurate a Rio hospital wing for the treatment of drug addicts and will pray at a shrine to Our Lady of Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil. Brazil is an overwhelmingly pious country, where there is no shame or stigma in declaring one's faith. Many among the thousands of young Brazilians enthusiastically welcoming the Pope and working as volunteers for World Youth Day were out on the streets three weeks ago protesting against government waste and corruption.
One young woman told reporters she saw no contradiction between her role as a protester and as a pilgrim. She said she even thought the Pope would have supported the mass protests in Brazil.
Fight Farc to the end Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos has ordered the army "not to stop shooting" until the conflict with the Farc rebels is over, after 15 soldiers died in an ambush last Saturday. Representatives of the Colombian government and the Farc are currently holding talks in Cuba to end more than five decades of conflict. The government has rejected a rebel call for a truce during the talks, arguing that a ceasefire would only provide the opportunity for the left-wing rebels to regroup and re-arm. Mr
Santos said that despite the killings the peace talks in Cuba would continue as normal. More than 70 Farc rebels attacked a group of 26 soldiers guarding an oil pipeline in a rural area. The authorities said 15 government soldiers died in the attack. Six rebels were reported to have died and another 12 seized by the army.
Two powerful earthquakes struck China's remote north-west Gansu province on Sunday, killing at least 94 people and leaving more than 800 others injured. The 5.9-magnitude quake struck at 7:45 a.m. local time on Monday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The official Xinhua News Agency said the temblor hit near the city of Dingxi and measured it at magnitude 6.6, citing the China Earthquake Networks Centre. The
area has been hit by 371 aftershocks, according to the Earthquake Administration of Gansu province. At least 5,600 houses in the province's Zhangxian county are seriously damaged and 380 have collapsed. Power cuts and disruption to mobile communications have affected some areas. The authorities estimate that the earthquake has caused a direct economic loss of 198 million yuan (ÂŁ21 million).
The peace talks, which started in November, represent the fourth attempt at a negotiated peace deal since the beginning of the conflict in

the early 1960s. The last attempt to achieve peace collapsed in 2002, when it became clear that the rebels had become stronger during the more than three years of negotiations under a ceasefire.
The Farc are thought to have some 8,000 fighters, down from about 16,000 in 2001. The government estimates that 600,000 people have been killed since the conflict began with some three million more internally displaced by the fighting.

Man charged over Cleveland killings
An Ohio man has been charged with murder in the deaths of three women found wrapped in rubbish bags in a suburb of Cleveland. The three bodies were found in separate but nearby locations on Friday and Saturday. Michael Madison, a 35-year-old convicted sex offender, was arrested on Friday after a stand-off with police.
A search for additional victims was suspended on Sunday afternoon. One of the women found on Saturday has been identified as Angela Deskins, believed to be 38 years old. Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner
Thomas Gilson said the three bodies were badly decomposed. His office was still investigating the final causes of death and the identities of the other two women.
Following a court appearance on Monday, Madison was being held in lieu of a $6 million bond. He could face the death penalty or life in prison if convicted of the charges of aggravated murder. East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton has said the suspect indicated he was influenced by a previous multiple murder case in Cleveland. Anthony Sowell, 52, was sentenced
to death in 2011 after being convicted of killing 11 women, the remains of whom were found around his home.
Officials said the three dead bodies were found about 300-600ft apart. Investigators believe the women were killed in the last six to 10 days. Police and community volunteers searched about 40 empty homes on Sunday for additional bodies. None were found.
While the search has since been suspended, Police Chief Ralph Spotts said the investigation remained open.
30 million girls 'at risk'
More than 30 million girls are at risk of being subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM) over the next decade, according to a Unicef study. It said more than 125 million girls and women alive today had undergone a procedure now opposed by the majority in countries where it was practised.
Ritual cutting of girls' genitals is practised by some African, Middle Eastern and Asian communities in the belief it protects a woman's virginity. The UN Children Fund survey, described as the most comprehensive to date on the issue, pulled together
20 years of data from the 29 countries in Africa and the Middle East where FGM is still practised, and found girls were less likely to be cut than they were some 30 years ago.
They were three times less likely than their mothers to have been cut in Kenya and Tanzania, and rates had dropped by almost half in Benin, the Central African Republic, Iraq, Liberia and Nigeria. But FGM remains almost universal in Somalia, Guinea, Djibouti and Egypt and there was little discernible decline in Chad, Gambia, Mali, Senegal, Sudan or Yemen, the study found.
However, it did find that most girls and women, and a significant number of boys and men, opposed the practice. In Chad, Guinea and Sierra Leone more men than women wanted to see an end to the practice.
The report recommends opening up the practice to greater public scrutiny so that entrenched social attitudes to it can be challenged. The dangers of FGM include severe bleeding, problems urinating, infections, infertility and increased risk of newborn deaths in childbirth.
China hit by quakes 10 hurt as New York plane's wheels fail The earthquake reportedly triggered a series of mudslides and landslides, making it difficult for rescuers to access some areas hit by the quake. The Gansu military police have deployed 500 soldiers, including 120 specialist rescuers, while 500 emergency tents and 2,000 quilts are also being transported to affected areas. In 2008, an earthquake in Sichuan province left up to 90,000 people dead and millions homeless.
Ten people were left with minor injuries after a Boeing 737's nose wheel collapsed when it landed at New York's LaGuardia Airport at 17:40 (21:40 GMT) on Monday.
Emergency vehicles surrounded the Southwest Airlines Flight 345 from Nashville, which had 143 passengers and six crew on board. Airport general manager Tom Bosco told
an evening news conference that the plane's front wheel collapsed when it landed on runway four. He said the aircraft skidded on its nose before coming to rest in a grassy patch about half way down the runway. Emergency crews were seen spraying foam on the nose of the plane. The Port Authority, which oversees the area airports, said the
passengers had exited the plane by using emergency chutes and those who were injured during the landing suffered back and neck injuries.
The crew was also taken to hospital for observation. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident.

‘We must listen to hospital patients’ Patients should own their own medical records and have more say in how much medical professionals earn, according to the former Chief Executive of Britain’s National Health Scheme. Lord Crisp told the Sunday People newspaper that giving more power to patients should be a top priority and the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal had shown the
importance of listening to patients. Under the plan patient representatives would organise satisfaction surveys on the performance of GPs’ surgeries and hospitals. Those who performed well would get more money and those who do badly would get less. “Patients need to be at the top of the power pyramid, not at the bottom,” said Lord Crisp.

The case was, of course, never closed and 44-yearold Nicholas Jacobs is to appear in court after being charged by police on Tuesday with the murder in October 1985. PC Blakelock was trying to protect firefighters tackling a supermarket blaze at the height of the riots when he was stabbed dozens of times. Alison Saunders, chief crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service London, said: "Following a thorough investigation by the Metropolitan Police Service, we have decided that Nicholas Jacobs should be charged with the murder of PC Keith Blakelock during the disorder at Broadwater Farm in October 1985.

Despite its success, Rodriguez said the ‘dogs' beach’ would not be

So the experiment will be confined to an area of 4,100 m2 at the Sal beach, which can be accessed from Perla de la Bahia promenade, near the Torre de la Sal. Rodriguez said owners who do not pick up after their dogs face fines of €60, and up to €600 for repeat offenders.

A judge on Monday sentenced José Bretón to 40 years in prison for the murder of his six-year-old daughter Ruth and his twoyear-old son Jose in what he described as an act of vengeance against his former wife after she filed for divorce.
In a case that caused revulsion across Spain, Bretón had been found guilty by a jury of presumably putting his children to sleep with tranquilizers before burning their bodies in a large bonfire at an estate owned by his family outside Cordoba on October 8th, 2011, the day he reported

the children missing to the police. Bretón claimed he had lost sight of the children in a park.
Forensic investigators found what they said were the remains of bones of two young children in the ashes of the bonfire. He had bought tranquilizers and large amounts of diesel fuel in preparation for the murders. Judge Pedro J. Vela upheld the verdict of the jury and condemned Bretón to 20 years in jail for each child, the sentence requested by the public prosecutor. Bretón has already spent two years in

Currently 1,150 families receive packages from the council.

He was also barred from approaching his ex-wife Ruth Ortiz Ramos and ordered to pay her €500,000 in compensation.
He was also ordered to pay compensation of €137,335 to the Interior Ministry and €22,567 to Córdoba City Hall.
Breton listened impassively as the sentence was read to him, "almost as if it had nothing to do with him," one observer said.
Noose tightens around illegal vendors Benalmádena town council is redoubling its efforts to eradicate the problem of illegal street vendors from its main streets on the coast. Security spokesman Salvador Fuentes said the Local Police are working very closely with the National Police and the Guardia Civil "to remove as many illegal vendors as possible”. Six had already been detained and more
than a million counterfeit watches, shoes, sports articles, fashion accessories and DVDs had been seized. The councillor in charge of Citizens Safety, Concepción Tejada, said "eradicating minor delinquency prevented more serious crimes". In addition to increasing police presence on the streets most frequented by tourists, such as the
promenade and the area around the port, the council also wants citizens themselves to cooperate by not buying from the vendors.
A Local Police spokesman said buying from them "contributes to the destruction of local and traditional commerce". Sra Tejada said the council's

When the young man pointed out that he and his family had arrived first, the other man turned aggressive and started pushing him. He fell on top of his girlfriend, who ended up with cuts on her face. The man continued hitting him and the police were called by nearby sunbathers. By this time,

The Office took up her case and the telephone company said it would "rectify" the mistake.

Marbella beach rage A young couple ended up in hospital after an argument with a beachgoer who set up his hammock too close to them on Marbella's Pinomar beach last Saturday.
a spokesman for Supersol said "It is time for companies to demonstrate their social responsibility" and thanked the council for "the opportunity to help families with few economic resources".
A Guinness record was set last Sunday at El Payazo beach in Vera in Almeria when 729 nudists went into the sea together. The last record was set by 506 bathers at a beach in New Zealand. Vera mayor José Carmelo Jorge (PP) told the Europa Press news agency it had been a "tremendous success". He said he was very satisfied because he had only expected about 600 nudists to turn up for the attempt to set a new
record. He said money collected during the bathe would go to a good cause.
The event took place on the Day Without Bathing Suits, organised by the Spanish Naturism Federation to promote social tolerance of nudism on beaches. The previous day, a 3.l kilometre nudist race was held in the Vera nudist area, to achieve the same objective.
David Shamoon dies
the young man was bruised and had a black eye. His main regret was that it was only the second time he had gone to the beach so far this year
because he hadn't had a free weekend for a long time. "I'll be more careful where we sit next time," he said.
Iraqi-born businessman David Shamoon, who revitalised the Marbella Club Hotel in the ‘90s, died at his home in Marbella on Sunday. He was 82 and had been suffering from pneumonia.
In 1993 Shamoon and a group of investors bought the ailing Marbella Club Hotel and its sister Hotel
Puente Romano and turned them around over the next few years. He invested over €40 million in the hotel, making it one of the leading hotels in Europe, and opened the Marbella Club Golf Resort. His remains were flown to London on Monday, where he was buried according to Jewish tradition.

Taking responsibility
'm finding all the uproar about Baby Cambridge very distracting but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be having the same effect on the opposition at all. They're still baying for Mariano Rajoy's blood, with a single-mindedness that is quite frightening.
ooking back to when the IranContra affair broke in November 1986, it took Ronald Reagan more than three months to appear before the American people to try to convince them he had no personal knowledge that people in his administration were selling weapons to Iran and subsequently funnelling those profits to anti-communist paramilitaries fighting in Central America. But when he did finally address the nation on March 4th, 1987, he took full responsibility for his actions in the “activities undertaken without my knowledge”. After the June 1972 Watergate break-in began to snowball into a larger conspiracy, President Nixon took to the airwaves nearly a year later. “In any organisation, the man at the top must bear the responsibility,” Nixon said on April 30th, 1973. “That responsibility, therefore, belongs here, in this office. I accept it. And I pledge to you tonight, from this office, that I will do everything in my power to ensure that the guilty are brought to justice and that such abuses are purged from our political processes in the years to come, long after I have left this office.”
I I
n the year and a half that he's been in power, Rajoy has managed to avoid a full-scale bailout for Spain. All the economic indicators are getting healthier. Spain is exporting more than she imports, the risk premium remains down, the financial markets are looking elsewhere to make trouble, tourism is up, and July's drop in unemployment will probably be bigger than the one in June. Meanwhile, Rajoy is pleading Spain's case at every international meeting he can get himself invited to and I suspect he's also creating a little network of his own inside the EU on the sly. The Romanian president was in town this week, following a visit by the Polish president last week.
W
hen the newscasts show him at international meetings, he appears very relaxed and everyone who crosses his path – Merkel, Hollande, Cameron – greet him in a very friendly manner. So different from poor old Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero who spent most of his time at these international meetings hiding away in a corner, obviously very inhibited by a) his shyness, and b) his total lack of foreign languages. Rajoy is unassuming but not shy. As he doesn't seem to have a team of interpreters accompanying him in the foreign corridors of power, I can only assume he's been working on his English – as he said he would when elected – and can now speak it reasonably well, like all the other EU leaders.
A
nd yet here we are, with the Socialists and the Communists insisting that Rajoy resign because of that mafioso, Luis Barcenas. They won't accept that Rajoy might not have known what Barcenas was up to behind the PP's back in order to be able to stash away €43 million (that we know of) in Swiss banks and tax havens. But that's exactly what the top Socialists in the Junta de Andalucia are claiming. They had no idea that middle-level officials were handing out funds meant to help companies cope with lay-offs to all their friends and relations. And we're not talking peanuts here, hundreds of millions, not just a measly 43. Pull the other one!
T
he opposition has done nothing in the past few days but call for Rajoy to come clean about Barcenas in Parliament, assuming that the wretch is the most truthful man on earth – despite the fact that at some point he committed perjury, as now he's telling the judge just the opposite of what he told the same judge in February. He's also claimed to have made illegal payments to Rajoy and other top PP officials in euros – before Spain switched over from the peseta to that currency.
T
hen take the leader of the Catalan Socialist Party, Pere Navarro, who is refusing to tell the Catalan Parliament about his party's involvement in a political spying case involving the PP's leader in Catalonia, Alicia SánchezCamacho, and a private detective company called Método 3 – which has admitted to installing microphones at a table in a restaurant where she was having lunch with the ex-girlfriend of a politician accused of making millions of euros out of ITV concessions when his father was the regional premier. We (the Socialists) can make demands on Rajoy but we are above the law that we're trying to apply to him.
I
t makes me sick – because Andalucia, governed by the Socialists for more than 30 years, is one huge cesspool of Socialist corruption at all levels. For example, I lived out in the country for a few months a while back and watched about 100 avocado saplings die of thirst. The owner of the land had planted them and cared for them until he got his hands on the EU's agricultural subsidy channelled through the Junta. Then he left them to die. Isn't that corruption? Then there was the case of the 10 scholarships worth €1,000 a month that the Junta offered to Coin for a two-month course in advanced computer technology. The offer should have been posted in the dole office but never made it because the (Socialist) town councillors shared them out among their relatives and friends. Isn't that corruption?
W
e could probably compile an encyclopaedia with all the corruption cases The News readers know about, but I suspect that all the corruption cases in Andalucia would need a bigger building than the British Museum Library.

rime Minister Mariano Rajoy need only delve back into recent history to see how his fellow conservatives across the Atlantic dealt with the worst scandals of their presidential administrations – they took responsibility. But he has denied Spaniards their right to know about his position in the Bárcenas case since it began mushrooming in December when the first allegations surfaced that the former Partido Popular (PP) treasurer had more money than believed in his Swiss bank accounts. Soon after El País published on January 31st the nowinfamous Bárcenas ledgers that show payouts to Rajoy and other top PP officials from what appear to be illegal donations by contractors and leading businessmen, the public has been demanding explanations from their prime minister. Beyond a simple denial, he has flatly refused to give them that right. But increasing pressure forced him to announce on Monday that he will appear before Parliament for what is expected to be a heated question and answer session concerning his role in the purported illegal financing operations in his party and all the allegations surrounding the case.
R
ajoy’s announcement came after the Socialists had been threatening for days to introduce a censure motion while intensifying their demands that he should step down. Other opposition groups immediately jumped on the bandwagon. It would have been a
symbolic gesture since the PP has a majority in parliament but one that would no doubt bring more apprehension from international investors about the Spanish political and financial systems. It is unfortunate that it had to come to this – Rajoy prodded into appearing before lawmakers which will make it even more difficult for people to believe him unless he decides to take full account of anything that occurred inside his party. It was not only the threat of a censure that forced his hand. A poll released on Sunday by El Mundo showed that nearly nine out of 10 Spaniards believe he should explain himself in parliament. It also showed that just under two-thirds of respondents believed Rajoy had received payments, with 19.6 percent saying the opposite. Last week, Bárcenas told the High Court that he personally paid out in 2010 some €25,000 in cash to Rajoy and the number two in the PP, secretary general María Dolores de Cospedal.
A
lthough it is difficult at this stage to accept the former treasurer’s credibility (he has been seesawing in his testimony before authorities), Bárcenas faces years in prison for tax evasion, money laundering and other charges, and a fat perjury conviction would only increase his sentence. By all accounts, Bárcenas is fed up with his former PP friends for not doing more to find a solution that would have avoided his current legal predicaments. And being locked up in preventive custody has done nothing to keep him from fuming even more.
R
ajoy’s penchant for not commenting on certain issues of the day has pushed him into a corner. The only way out of this hole is to accept the responsibility for whatever occurred inside his party and demonstrate to the public that a full and independent investigation will be carried out. Several months ago, he announced an audit of the PP’s finances by the current treasurer but the status of that accounting inquiry is unknown. The prime minister has insisted he won’t step down, and with two years to go in his current term, he may believe he can ride out the storm as the slow wheels of Spanish justice continue to turn. But no doubt more explosive allegations will continue to surface as Bárcenas is brought before the High Court to continue his testimony. The best strategy for the prime minister is to take the brave step before Parliament and accept responsibility – whether he is innocent or not. Follow me on Twitter @martingdelfin

Annual income taxes for non-resident property owners in Spain If you haven’t made an annual tax declaration as a RESIDENT in Spain, but you own a property here, then you are obliged to make a tax declaration as a NON-RESIDENT each year before the end of December.
A typical case is a couple who live permanently outside Spain (in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany or any other country), but own a second home in Spain which is used for their holidays, etc. The Spanish Inland Revenue automatically assume a benefit from the property, to cover the assumption that a property owner is using the infrastructure in Spain, i.e. roads, airports, public services etc., and therefore, should be contributing to the Spanish tax system. They have developed, a self assessed, NON RESIDENT TAX
DECLARATION to cover this situation, called Deem Income Tax.
Although an owner may not receive any real income or rent from the property, the law presumes an income of 1.1% or 2%, of the “Catastral” value of the property, (the rate used depends on whether the “Catastral” value has or has not been modified and updated), and the resulting amount is the assumed income for the enjoyment and benefits resulting from owning a second property. This assumed income is then taxed at a calculated rate of 24.75%, (a 0.75% increase on the rate for last year), Many non-residents who live for less than 183 days in Spain and therefore are not fiscal residents, but are owners of second residences in Spain, are not aware of
their tax obligations because they have never been made aware of the annual Deem Income Taxes – as unlike the local IBI taxes, which are calculated and prepared by the local authorities every year, this assumed Income Tax is operated on a self-assessment system and paid to directly to the tax office. This means that nonresidents have the obligation to prepare, calculate and pay their own Deem Income Tax every year. The tax returns form
New Bentley SUV
Luxury car firm Bentley is to build a new model – its first sports utility vehicle (SUV) – in Crewe, creating an estimated 1,000 jobs. The company said the development of its fourth model would include an investment of £800m in headquarters and development infrastructure. The vehicle will be launched globally in 2016. China has become a key market for sales of the
luxury marque. Bentley has not yet released an image of what the car will look like, but the company, which is owned by the Volkswagen group, said it would be a "thoroughbred Bentley, true to the brand hallmarks of luxury, performance, quality and craftsmanship". It said: "The styling will set it apart from any other SUV on the road and will be
true to the Bentley design DNA. "It will be the most luxurious and most powerful SUV in the market." Bentley was founded after the First World War and scored early successes in motorsport, particularly at Le Mans. It was later bought by Rolls-Royce, and Volkswagen purchased the firm in 1998.
to be submitted is called, Form 210, and the period for submitting this declaration is a calendar year, from 1st January to 31st December. Any Annual Deem Income Tax due for the tax year 2012 must be paid before the 31st December 2013, so you are still plenty of time to comply with the tax laws. Ignorance of the Law is not an excuse for not paying this tax, so we are informing any NONRESIDENTS who own real estate property in Spain that they should be
aware of their tax obligations, and should get professional assistance for preparing, and calculating their annual tax and to ensure that the form 210, is submitted on time. Otherwise, they could be fined in the future by the Inland Revenue.
For further information, advice or assistance on this Spanish Deem Income tax, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone on 952 901 225 or by e-mail at
mail@manilvasolicitors.c om Or ring Denise Molony on 669 42 89 98 to make an appointment.

Still relatively unknown this excellent little treasure in Fuengirola is Le Tronc ladies dress agency – not a charity shop but a business where women can purchase designer label clothes and fashion wear for a fraction of the original cost. The shop is small but amongst the plentiful stock, you will find stylish clothes by good high street labels and top brands like YSL, Moschino and Balenciaga, as well as accessories, clutches, handbags and especially lovely vintage clothes from the 20's, to the 90's. It's all about good value. Everything is well priced – tops, shorts, dresses, trousers and jackets. For the more up-market minded, an elegant black Chloe vintage sequinned party dress selling in an dress agency in Madrid for a cool 1,000 Euros, yours at Le Tronc for just a 100 Euros! Some of the vintage fabrics are hand-finished, rich in attention to detail and style. You will need a little time to browse and a sense of quality to appreciate what Le Tronc has to offer. For a cruise, definitely the place to look for evening wear or a dress for a summer party – no shortage of wow factor items on helpful owner
Lucia's rails. For those that love a bargain currently there are two rails of clothes on sale, the summer offers are all priced at 5.00 Euros. For a real idea of this little shop, go to “Le Tronc” Facebook page, although stock is constantly changing and the page is mainly in Spanish there are numerous photographs that give a clear idea of what is available. Customers are welcome to deposit items but remember clothes, bags and accessories must be in more than good condition,
clean and reasonably priced. This a not a shop that deals in silly prices, Le Tronc is about style and quality without the price tag. Easy to find, on Avda. Santos Rein 13 across the road from the Fuengirola Tourist Information, in the short side street behind Ibex Insurance. Tel. 619 248 007. Open 9.30 - 2.00 and 5.00 - 8.00 Monday to Friday. Saturday 9.30 until 2.00 pm English, Spanish and French spoken. Advertising feature by Pete Woodall

Jenny's jump Have your say on expat voting rights
Will she or won't she? Will dare-devil Jenny Yeates keep her nerve and take the 15,000 foot plunge at the Skydive Spain Centre? There is only one way to find out and that is to wait and see. In order to help raise money for the Costa del Sol animal charity F.A.M.A Jenny from Fuengirola intends to jump out of a perfectly good Dornier G92 aeroplane tomorrow Thursday 25th July at 12.30 pm.
Without getting too personal it's been a while since Jenny's 21st birthday but as a self confessed aficionado of theme park rides the chances are, she will. “ I like all the theme park rides so I'm not scared of the jump but this will be my first sky dive” she calmly remarked on Tuesday. All the “nitty gritty” details of Jenny’s parachute jump at the Skydive Spain Centre in Bollullos de la Mitacionnear aerodrome near Seville will be shown on the F.A.M.A facebook page (type in the full stop dots) and covered in The
Chic
News next Wednesday.
This is a sponsored jump and there is still time for anyone willing to pledge a few Euros to give Jenny a call on 689 806 337 or Tracey on 605 606 469. Either will happily take down your name, phone number and your amount pledged. Remember it all adds up and every little helps to feed and care for the animals. If you'd rather sponsor Jenny directly through F.A.M.A their bank details are on their website: www.famaspain.com/dona te

Lorraine Hardy, Secretary of the Labour International Coordinating Committee which represents Labour International members across the world and two other committee members Dalvir Singh (Germany) and Dick Smith (France) are meeting with the Electoral Commission in London on 6th August to discuss "engaging with overseas voters ahead of the elections in 2014 and 2015". Lorraine said: "There are some 5 million Brits living outside of the UK (including some 1.4 million in Europe) – yet, depending where the figures come from, between 13,000 and 19,000 register as Overseas Electors. That is less than half of 1% of British expatriates around the world!

A group of very enthusiastic ladies and Cudeca supporters from the Urbanization Jardín Botánico in La Cala de Mijas, held a charity party to celebrate the first anniversary of the Hong Kong restaurant in Jardín Botánico. They also held a charity raffle, thanks to the support of local businesses and friends who donated the prizes and managed to raise a fantastic 1.150€ for Cudeca Cancer Care Hospice. Mark Driver, from the bar Snack Attack hosted the evening and presented a plaque to restaurant owner Sofia Wu on behalf of all her friends at Jardín Botánico for her continuous charitable support. Arran Harding, a local celebrity, wooed the ladies with his charm and delightful voice and Astra gave an impressive Belly Dancing performance. A young boy also volunteered himself (with the consent of his very proud Mum) demonstrating card tricks at 1 euro a time and managed to raise another 70€ for the Hospice Centre.
their right to vote."
Did you know that even if you live here in Spain you can register as an Overseas Voter in the area in which you were last on the electoral register? Currently there is a limitation of 15 years in which you can exercise this right despite the efforts of Harry Shindler and others to rescind this. Why can't we have MPs specifically to represent expats – like in France?
Readers may recall that in January this year, Tory Lord Lexden had high hopes of rescinding the 15 year rule but has settled for a Lords Committee which is looking at overseas voting and ways to increase registration and participation. Labour International has submitted its views to that committee. Prior to the London meeting, Labour International would like to hear the views of British
residents in Spain about the Overseas Voting process:
Did you know you could still exercise your vote in UK General Elections when you moved to Spain? Have you tried to register as an Overseas Voter?
Would you prefer to vote by post? (Currently postal votes are sent out from the UK as close as four days before the election making it an impossible choice for Overseas Electors.) Have you ever used a Proxy Voter in the UK? Were you confident they would vote they way you asked them to?
Would you support "early voting" like the USA but where you could only vote for a political Party rather than an individual candidate?
Would you vote on-line

RELEASE MONEY FROM YOUR UK PENSION QROPS (Qualifying Recognized Overseas Pension Scheme) have been available to ex-pats since April 2006.
There is no mystery to QROPS, they are basically the same as your UK pension but offer better benefits than the UK. The process is very simple and takes approximately three months to complete. In the UK you may not take any benefits before you are 55 years of age. If you are 50 or above and have been outside the UK for 5 complete tax years you may withdraw 25/30% and then an income at 55. If you are pension rich but cash poor, this could be a way of solving temporary financial difficulties. You have nothing to lose by asking but everything to gain. We look forward to hearing from you To find if you qualify to release money now call 951 206 138 or email admin@kennedyfinancialservices.com or visit www.kennedyfinancialservices.com and complete the free assessment form.

If you follow their website instructions (insufficient data for GPS) be aware, for instance, not to miss a sign post that is placed behind a big wall and when you reach the village of Restabal and see the hand-written oblong lavender painted sign fixed to a tree, do not continue up the road for 1400 metres but turn immediately right into the narrow concrete road, which eventually leads you to the farm (approximately 10 minutes). We left Mijas where we live and decided to take the quick route via the A7 motorway until Salobreña and from there take the A44 direction Granada until you see the exit Lecrín. Follow the road to Restabal and beware as the outside gym park comes up very quickly on your right.
Finally arriving at the farm we were met by Erik and his wife Femke, two children and three dogs. After introductions Erik took us on a walking tour of the farm explaining numerous interesting points on caring and harvesting and how they began two years ago with over 25,000 plants.

Unfortunately during the first year they had a virus and lost a few thousand plants but luckily there has been no repetition.
Femke showed us the heart of the process of the world’s most authentic and medicinal plant – a traditional copper still. Their final products are displayed in their shop (needless to say, some of which we could not resist). To quote from their brochure – “ Due to the fertility and richness of the ancient soil and the use of pure mountain spring water, the result is an essential lavender oil of excellent quality and a superb sweet smell.” After a refreshing drink we said our goodbyes and promised them that we would spread the word on a most unusual and interesting day out.

On leaving the farm to find your way out, we strongly suggest that unless you have a vehicle smaller than a Skoda Fabia do not venture into the village of Saleres!
Deciding to take the longer route home through the countryside and in temperatures of 34º, we felt a little siesta was in order so we found ourselves some shade under one of millions of
large olive trees around us – so rural, so Spanish!
I have lived here for over 26 years, hubby for 19 and we know the area very well but we still marvel that after two hours of driving continuously, it is only when nearing Málaga that the millions and millions of olive trees start to subside.

For anyone who has seen either the stage show or the film, Phantom Of The Opera is a wonderful experience. The original book by Gaston Leroux was first published as a series in 1909 and was not, it has to be said, received well by its readers and in fact went out of print several times. It was translated into English in 1911. In 1925 it was released as a silent film starring Lon Chaney
However, once it was taken onboard by a certain Mr Andrew Lloyd Webber in 1986 as a West End stage musical, this previously little known novel took the world on and has been running ever since both onstage and on the big screen. The Gothic novel revolves around three characters, Erik (The Phantom) who lives in the cellars under the Paris Opera House and wears a mask to cover half of his badly deformed face. He is also mentally disturbed and was one of the original architects of L’Opera so knows all it’s secret tunnels and passageways), Christine Daaé who is the love of his life and is the only person ever to allow him to kiss and be kissed, and Raoul, Viscount of Chagney, who is in love with Christine. As a child Christine is told by her father of an
“Angel of Music”. Once she gets a part as a chorus girl at the opera house she begins hearing heavenly music when she is alone there. She asks if he is the Angel of Music and the voice, who is actually Erik offers to teach her “a little bit of heaven’s music”. Christine is an absolute triumph on the Gala opening night but then Raoul hears her talking to the “Angel”.
Erik eventually kidnaps Christine..... But I won’t tell you the rest, you’ll have to see it on stage, on film or read this fabulous story for yourselves!
Mike Sterling will be coming to Spain for a series of performances in August. He has been described as “The definitive Phantom” by the Daily Mail and Michael Parkinson described him as a “true entertainer”.
Mike was born in Glanaman, Wales but was brought up in Swansea. His first professional appearance was at The Cwmfelin Social Club in Swansea when he was just 14 years old. A year later he went for vocal coaching in Neath by the Welsh – tenor Allun Davies himself a fantastic singer who had won Opportunity Knocks for eight weeks in a row in the 1960s. Mike made his television debut aged just 17 on Granada's "New Faces" in 1987 and went on to win the grand final. This acted as a launch pad for a hugely successful career since. Offers flooded in and he was soon appearing in major West End productions debuting at The Palace Theatre London in "Les
Miserables" in the minor role of Feuilly, however his talent and work ethic shone through culminating with his acclaimed performances as Marius in the same show.
After joining the cast of "Phantom Of The Opera" at Manchester Opera house in the romantic lead role of Raoul he was then offered the role of the Phantom in the West End production at Her Majesty's Theatre.
Mike will be coming to Venta Miralmonte to perform major hits from West End and Broadway Musicals including songs from Phantom, those from his West End rôle playing Jean Valjean from Les Miserables as well as some stunning classical pieces.
He will be appearing at the Venta Miralmonte on the Carretera Coin / Alhaurin on Friday August 23rd. Showtime starts at 9.15pm and tickets cost just €10 per person, in aid of CHAIN animal rescue. This will definitely be a show you will not want to miss but you’ll need to book as soon as possible to ensure that you get a ticket.
Pre-theatre suppers are available from 7.15pm. Call 696 430 160 to book now!

SPOTLIGHT ON MAD TERRY Mad Terry, a legend in his own lunchtime! Why “Mad”? Because of his antics on stage. Mad Terry is a true showman from the old school of entertainment and with his boundless energy, his shows are a must-see. There are many singers all around the world, but not many entertainers. Mad Terry is both. From comedy to opera – a voice that can copy the “greats” such as Elvis, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darren, Louis Armstrong – you should hear Terry’s version of “It’s a Wonderful World” – and many, many more. Mad Terry says: “I sing using other people’s voices because my own voice is rubbish!” He has worked in TV and theatre for 38 years this year, starting with his brother Daniel when he was 15-years-old at Butlin’s Holiday Camp in Bognor Regis in the South of England. He has worked with many of the stars of stage and TV such as Jimmy Tarbuck, Jasper Carrot, John Lodge of the Moody
Blues, Jim Capaldi, Eddie Large, Leslie Crowther and Kenny Lynch, and is one of the best in the business. Terry added: “You should be able to read your audience. I can, and then I leave early!!”
As you can see, Terry has a great sense of humour and his ability to adapt to whoever is in his audience, coupled with his supersharp wit, adlibs and one-liners makes sure his shows rock from start to finish and you can be sure of heading home with a smile on your face.
Now also the proud owner with Julie of Mad Terry @ Buzby’s, he says the venue keeps the real entertainers going with guest spots throughout the week.
You can catch Terry at his own venue every night and, when other artistes are performing, he’s on after their shows. See the Buzby’s advert on this page for who is appearing this week and, if you’d like to book Terry to do a show at your venue, call him on 645 404 911 – you won’t be disappointed!

Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, The Conjuring tells the horrifying tale of how world renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorised by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives. The film was inspired by the true-life story of the
family, who Perron claimed they "lived among the dead" in the 1970s as spirits both friendly and sinister inhabited their Rhode Island farmhouse. When New Line acquired the pitch, it included life rights to the Perron family and the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Director James Wan‘s horror movie The Conjuring is shaping up to be one of the scariest flicks this year. It sounds like The Conjuring’s scares are terrifying while they last, but that the fear itself only

t doesn’t matter that there are no big names in it, no impressive special effects, it doesn’t need them.

With your ruler Mars being in Cancer right now you will find that anything you have been side-stepping will catch you up. People from the past may re-enter your life and this may give you the nudge to do something you have been putting off for a while. There will be a lot of reasons to make excuses, or turn away but if you put in some effort this is when miracles can occur. Step up to the plate Aries and you will be surprised at your fortune. It is time to truly move on, either someone helps you see the light or a conversation with another helps heal a hard past. Clarity of vision and movement is what this week is all about. Relationships deepen and intensify, make sure you are open and share your ideas, hopes and dreams and surround yourself with those you can trust. Even if by the weekend you are filled with strong emotions remain positive. Your mind might as well take the back seat this week as there will be no time for over analysis that leads to emotional paralysis. Honouring the things you value will help you to find equilibrium when having to make tough decisions. Once you do make that stand, it will be all systems go. Events in your life are set to speed up and will get quite exciting in the near future. Your full potential is rising – others will want to rally behind you. You could be asked to give up something in return for something else. There are abundant gifts waiting in the wings, although you now have some decisions to make. What do you really want? Once you know that then things will start to flow. Even if it seems that history is repeating itself, there is one difference, you can choose the path this time and get to determine the outcome – others need you to be a leader. Even if things do not seem totally great right now there are plenty of things you are happy to have moved on from. The key is not to take life too seriously at the moment – as soon as you lighten up, this is when key insights will come flooding in, your horizons will then expand and your faith will rocket. Do not get dragged into an argument you know you can’t win, rise above conflicts. Your powers of attraction are at their peak so get ready for lots of attention. Your social and personal skills are superb and you will feel like expressing the deepest of your feelings in a carefree way, this is a time of personal relaxation away from worry, a sense of calmness and confidence exudes from you, it is as if you know that you can handle anything that might come your way. Family is important and any differences will be overcome bringing you much closer to those you love.
LIBRA
Pace yourself Libra, if you really want to reach the peak then you need to pause and have a rest occasionally. Rome was not built in a day. Efforts and time dedicated to your creative pursuits will start to bear fruit and materialise, it won’t be long before you start to see a glimpse of this happening. A more secure path is forming which will allow you to breathe a little bit easier. Keep taking one strong step forward at September 23rd - a time, with a few rests on route to keep up your strength, as success is near. October 22nd

You are at the peak of your imagination and creativity and this will bring out the best of your personality and charm. Thinking outside of the box will be relatively easy too. However, ripples from past memory banks could hang around like an emotional tattoo. It can take going over something again and again until you literally have exhausted it and have no choice but to raise that white flag and surrender. Let it go and be free.
Popularity is set to soar with the chance of some sort of fame shining down on you. This is very good energy and is the time to get your daily tasks and chores done and focus your attention on the future. There will be stressful moments now and then but it is possible to obtain what you need now. Be proactive and use your infectious optimism to inspire others you will be amazed at how much support comes your way. Communicating to someone what you have felt for ages but never had the confidence to put into words will seem easier to do this week. Your emotions are rising up and have a need to be expressed; they want to be released, so that you can move on to the next level. Love and romance is very fulfilling right now and it could feel that lightning has struck and nothing will be the same again. An exciting time is about to commence. Create a game plan this week that will produce positive results for the future. This is necessary right now so that you do not become distracted or go off track. Changes cannot happen overnight but initiating this process will enable you to feel as though you are halfway there. Career developments and opportunities for advancements in earnings are on the horizon – when you love what you do then money invariably follows. Right now you could not have more abundant support to actualise your creative life purpose and your true calling from the heavens – so dig deep and get moving. Take time for yourself and others to enjoy the ‘life’ experience and indulge in a few pleasures. Your powers of attraction are high and there is a mischievous cheeky edge to you which is appealing to others. Risk taking and chances could pay off too.

Ask Calvin and Sue: Hair & Beauty Dear Calvin
My 12-year-old daughter is now constantly in the swimming pool and I have noticed at night when her hair is dry it is looking green? Is there anything I can do? Debbie, Fuengirola Dear Debbie
At this time of year this is a constant problem for kids in the pool!
Try using Paul Mitchell's Shampoo 3 which is designed to remove chlorine and minerals which are both found in the swimming pool. Apply a conditioner on the hair and leave in before swimming, as this
will create a barrier to protect the hair.
Using tomato ketchup on the hair is a good way to neutralise the green. Apply, leave a few minutes and rinse well, alternatively rinse the hair through with soda water. Dear Calvin

Dear Lily
Glad to hear your hair has grown back, often after chemotherapy the hair can regroup differently and without colour. Although the hair has grown back it will still be in a fragile state for a while, so I don't recommend having a permanent colour. It is best to use a pure vegetable colour which will safely shade your hair while your hair is gathering it's strength. Dear Sue
I am seeing all my holiday guests with fabulous tans but as I work and have a sensitive skin I am worried about being in the sun and lack the time to do so. Would a spray tan work for me? I am going to a wedding in a month and will look so much nicer with a tan. Lynda, Puerto Banus
Dear Lynda
Yes a spray tan could be the answer to all your problems, as you will get a great tan with none of the associated health risks from the sun.
Before a spray tan it is necessary to exfoliate extremely well so there is no extra colour on your elbows, or feet as dead skin will grab the colour more easily, also don't remove any body hair on the day of the tan and refrain from moisturizing or using deodorant on the day as these can form a barrier and prevent the tan from taking. I have been doing spray tans at the salon for years but a word of caution – have a trial run at least two weeks before the wedding to make sure you are happy with the colour and your skin will tan evenly. Although I have
The prospect of reversing blindness has made a significant leap, according to researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London. Their study,

My skin is very dry and flaky with lots of fine lines so I thought a peeling facial would be beneficial, do you agree? Kirsty, Arroyo de la Miel Dear Kirsty
From your letter a peel sounds just what you need, in the same way a hair stylist recommends you have the ends of your hair cut regularly a skin specialist will suggest the same to remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresher younger looking you.
A chemical peel is the most drastic and involves a few days in hospital, a glycolic peel is less
dramatic but should still be under supervision of a medical doctor. At my salon I would suggest a course of three fruit peels that after the course will give the effect of a deep peel but is far more gentle and safe. A word of warning though now we are in summer any peel will remove the top layer or the skin and provide less resistance to the sun. My best advice is to wait until October before doing any type of peel. Meanwhile get into the habit of a twice weekly exfoliation and hydrating mask. Guinot do a great mask for dry skins called Nutri-Confort. Apply a thin coat and leave for 1015mins before removing. If you have any questions for Calvin or Sue, you can contact them on 633 733 374 (Calvin) or 952 473 681 (Sue)

trials are now, for the first time, a realistic prospect.
Photoreceptors are the cells in the retina which react to light and convert it into an electrical signal which can be sent to the brain, but these cells can die off in some causes of blindness such as Stargardt's disease and age-related macular degeneration. There are already trials in people to use stem cells to replace the "support" cells in the eye which keep the photoreceptors alive. Now the London-based team have shown it is possible to replace the lightsensing cells themselves, raising the prospect of reversing blindness.
They have used a new technique for building retinas in the laboratory. It was used to collect
thousands of stem cells, which were primed to transform into photoreceptors, and injected them into the eyes of blind mice.
The study showed that these cells could hook up with the existing architecture of the eye and begin to function. The researchers said: "This is a real proof of concept that photoreceptors can be transplanted from an embryonic stem cells source and it gives us a route map to now do this in humans. "That's why we're so excited, five years is now a realistic aim for starting a clinical trial." Experts described it as a "significant breakthrough" and "huge leap" forward.

Contemporary lifestyle and celebrity gossip
Actor, comedian, producer and director, this many talented man will be much missed.
Best known for his clever, dry wit...
… and a face he would scrunch up like a chewed toffee, much loved comedian Mel Smith has died Probably one of the only actors to be upstaged by a gorilla, comedian Melvin Kenneth Smith, famously known as plain Mel Smith, died of a heart attack on Friday aged just 60. The gorilla sketch was first aired on his comedy hit Not The Nine O’clock News. “Gerald”, the gorilla was in fact fellow comedian Rowan Atkinson and when Smith quipped: "When I caught Gerald in ‘68 he was completely wild," Atkinson AKA Gerald quipped: "Wild? I was absolutely livid!" and appeared to continue to study the cleanliness of his nails. Smith’s face could show a whole range of emotions. He could be as deadpan as his childhood hero, Tony Hancock, could cry onstage at the drop of a hat and make you laugh, whatever his expression. If his face was said to be his fortune, his brain was another matter entirely. Born in Chiswick, West London on December 3rd 1952 to parents who ran the first betting shop in the area, he was educated at Upper Latymer boys school in Hammersmith – a very good school where high achievement was expected – followed by New College, Oxford studying experimental psychology.
He became a member of the Oxford University Dramatic Society appearing in an Oxford production of The Tempest and at the Edinburgh Fringe festivals. After finishing at Oxford he once considered ditching acting in favour of becoming a bookie at his parents shop. However, in 1973 he worked at the Royal Court Theatre in London and at the Bristol Old Vic followed by the Sheffield Crucible in 1975. As a co-founder with Griff Rhys Jones of Talkback Productions in 1981, he was the TV producer responsible for such iconic ‘80s comedy series such as Da Ali G Show, I’m Alan Partridge and Smack the Pony. The pair sold Talkback in 2000 for £62 million. He directed The Tall Guy in 1989 starring Emma Thompson and Jeff Goldblum, and in 1997 the box office hit Bean, a spin-off of Rowan Atkinson’s popular TV series. The film had a budget of $18 million and subsequently made approximately $250 million at the box office. Most famous of all at the time was his collaboration with John Lloyd on Not The Nine O’Clock News for the BBC which ran for four series which made him, Pamela Stephenson, Griff Rhys
Jones, Rowan Atkinson and Chris Langham household names. It was shown at 9 O’Clock on BBC2 as opposed to the real 9 O’Clock News on BBC1. The show was a satirical hit and as the pop-culture historian Mark Lewisohn has argued, Smith's first TV success "largely created modern alternative comedy,” adding: “Mel did an extraordinary thing – he taught us all how to make comedy natural." However, he did not enjoy the intrusion into his private life that fame brought him. Following Not The Nine O’Clock News, came Alas Smith And Jones” with Mel and Griff Rhys Jones appearing to be talking face to face as a double act that lasted 10 series.

Opinion
Antony Greenwood Torremolinos In December last year, our downstairs neighbours were badly flooded by rainwater from the roof causing their ceiling to come down. We had no damage. Their insurance company were called, and the neighbours moved out and work began. During this time it was noticed that a small drip was coming from our bath, found as they were ready to start replacing the ceiling. We were told that we would have to replace our bath to allow them to finish the job! The cost would be approximately €500. We said that as we are pensioners we couldn't afford this at Xmas but would put new bath in as soon as possible and in the meantime we wouldn’t use the bath as we use our shower room. This was happening on a Friday afternoon. Our president said this wouldn’t do as they would have to remove the ceiling later when our new bath was being installed. There was nothing we could do as we didn’t have the money. Then we were told by the neighbours that we would be denounced! By this
time, being in our 70s we were stressed out with all this pressure. The president then told us that the total cost would be €800 but that they would pay half and we could pay our half when we could. We thought that we could manage this as it’s an insurance job, so to keep the peace we agreed. They chose the bath and replacement tiles and came on the following Monday morning to do the work – installing a white bath when ours is a pink suite. We had no choice in the matter and we have signed nothing. We paid our €400 in two payments in January only to find that they had already TAKEN €400 from our bank who subsequently refunded it and advised us to cancel our direct debit. Also we had trouble last year about our side terrace. After owning the property for 28 years they told us that this side terrace wasn't ours and they were going to block it off at each end. Who could the terrace could belong to we can’t think as it leads on to our patio doors and we have been paying extra
community fees monthly. We then had to employ an architect costing €180 to prove this point which he did. We have had enough and have found a buyer only to be told that the community have put a €400 debt on our account! How do we stand? Do you think that we have case?
Editor replies: There are a number of issues that I’m not clear on here. 1) I’m not sure how they could actually force you to change a bath in the first place – let alone to one of a colour that doesn’t match the rest of the suite –as the works were apparently being carried out because of a roof leak. 2) How did they have access to your bank account to take such monies out of it anyway? 3) Why, if they had taken, albeit without your permission, €400 from your account and you’d paid the other €400 in cash, they have put a lein on your property when the bill has been paid in full. I would suggest you speak to De Cotta Law on 951 315 161, John Sutton.
Joan Gordon Smith Alhaurin May I refer to the advice from Calvin and Sue that you have been putting on your Health and Beauty pages recently and say how much I have enjoyed reading the letters and the

replies given.
However it would be nice to know who Calvin and Sue are?
Do they have a local buissness or work from home? A profile of the couple would be welcome and interesting to read.
I do find THE NEWS an excellent paper, keep up the good work!
Editor says: Both Calvin and Sue work out of the Nordic Centre that is on the lefthand side of the road from Fuengirola up to Mijas village. Calvin owns Calvin's Hair Studio, has years of international hairdressing experience and is a specialist colourist. Sue owns the beauty business opposite his salon and, again, has years of experience. She trained at the Patricia Millman School of Beauty Therapy in London’s Oxford Street,
qualifying in 1981with an internationally recognised qualification. This will be her 20th anniversary of her Salon, Suzanne’s Beauty Spot, in Centro Nordico. I have known Sue for a number of years through charity work and I actually let Calvin loose on my hair (I am extremely nervous of hairdressers generally after an awful disaster when I was 16 years old when I had managed to make a real hash of it with kitchen shears in my bathroom mirror! ) It was only a very quick trim he did as I was busy delivering the papers one Wednesday but, what a difference it made and, although I have particularly rubbish hair anyway, it kept its shape very well indeed. So.... worth a visit think! Sue’s phone number for appointments is 952 473 681 and Calvin’s is 633 733 374.
Comment By Ken Campbell
A New Moon!
A
Just when we thought that we knew about everything in our Solar System a brand new moon has just been discovered.
ll of the planets except for Mercury and Venus have moons. We of course have one – The Moon. ars has two tiny ‘potato shaped’ moons named Phobos and Deimos, which are probably asteroids that strayed too close to Mars and were captured by its gravity. upiter has 67 confirmed moons, the four largest of which were discovered by Galileo in 1610 and are collectively known as the Galilean Moons. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System and is actually bigger than the planet Mercury. Then we have Io, Callisto and Europa. The rest of Jupiter’s moons are small, less than 160 miles in diameter and are also probably captured asteroids like Mars’ two moons. f you count each individual particle that makes up Saturn’s rings then you could say that Saturn has billions of moons but for practical purposes we can say that Saturn has 62 moons. Titan is the largest and like Ganymede it too is bigger than Mercury. Again most of Saturn’s moons are small, ranging from 1 mile to 50 miles in diameter. Out of all of Saturn’s moons only about a dozen are bigger than about 30 miles in diameter. f you’re familiar with the works of Shakespeare then you’ll recognise all of Uranus’ 27 moons as they are all named after Shakespearean characters. Titiana and Oberon were the first to be discovered in 1787 and Ariel, Umbriel and Miranda were discovered in 1851. It took a flyby of the Voyager spacecraft in 1986 to discover any more of Uranus’ moons. ven tiny Pluto – which is not even considered to be a planet anymore – has a family of five moons. The last one was discovered only two years ago by the Hubble Space Telescope. A huge campaign was launched to name the new moon. The name that received the most votes was ‘Vulcan’ but the International Astronomical Union rejected this as Vulcan is the name of the planet that Mr Spock of Star Trek comes from. So Pluto’s family of moons were christened Charon, Styx, Nix, Hydra and finally Kerberos. All the names are taken from Greek or Roman Mythology surrounding the underworld. nd so it was thought that the Sun’s family was complete, until last week when a brand new moon was discovered orbiting Neptune. The Hubble Space Telescope had done it again and discovered a tiny moon to add to Neptune’s 13 other moons. The
M J I I
E A
new 14th moon, designated S/2004 N 1, is estimated to be no more than 12 miles across, making it the smallest known moon in the Neptune system. It is so small and dim that it is roughly 100 million times fainter than the faintest star that can be seen with the naked eye. It even escaped detection by NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which flew past Neptune in 1989 and surveyed the planet’s system of moons and rings. o, as of today, the Solar System consists of eight planets, ‘several’ dwarf planets which include Pluto, 178 moons and billions of asteroids and comets. My, how our family has grown! peaking of comets, the astronomical world is gearing up for the approach of Comet ISON that is due to grace our skies at the end of this year and early next year. 10,000 years ago Comet ISON left an area at the edge of the Solar System known as the Oort Cloud and began heading in toward the Sun. Right now it is between the orbit of Jupiter and Mars and is streaking toward the Sun at 48,000mph. t is coming in from ‘below’ us so is not visible in the Northern Hemisphere just yet, but by the end of November it will skim very close to the Sun and then be flung back out into Space passing very close to the Earth in early January. If all the calculations are correct then around Christmastime Comet ISON will be absolutely spectacular and may even be visible during the daytime. s this is Comet ISON’s first visit into the Solar System then it is still a virgin comet containing plenty of raw material which hopefully will stream out from the comet to produce a spectacular tail. If you were thinking about getting a telescope then you should definitely put one on your Christmas list as this could turn out to be the ‘Comet of the Century’! ’ll keep you informed of ISON’s progress over the coming months.

Marquez takes chances to win at Laguna Seca Marc Marquez opened up a 16 point lead in the MotoGP World Championship with his second victory in a row, at Laguna Seca on Sunday. The Repsol Honda star has adapted to the premier class with such ease that he already appears to be a seasoned veteran. Speaking after his third MotoGP victory the 20 year old said: "I am very happy with the result. In the race we struggled a little bit on full tanks and it was very easy to make a small mistake and lose the front. I warmed the tyres and when I felt everything was ready I started to push."
Once he decided to push, he was able to pass Valentino Rossi with a daring move at the Corkscrew and then close in on Stefan Bradl, taking the lead at half distance. Germany’s Bradl had taken his first pole position on Saturday and started the race superbly, he showed a lot of speed to pull away from the field before Marquez hauled him in. The overtake on Rossi was the stand-out moment of the race and almost an exact copy of the pass Rossi had made on Casey Stoner during their epic 2008 battle. “I want to speak a little bit about the overtake, especially with Livio Suppo,” said a smiling Rossi. “So, you and Stoner broke my balls for two or three years about that overtake because I cut the corner. So what do you say today, he has to be disqualified eh?”
Suppo, sitting in the audience, replied: “Thank you for the question and thank you to Marc – because after a few years we pay you back!” “Ahh okay, okay!” laughed Rossi. The next race of the season is three weeks away and, while he would prefer to race again immediately, Marquez

did admit that it was important to, "Take a holiday, try and relax and recharge my batteries."
Lorenzo and Pedrosa were back in action after missing last weekend's German Grand Prix with
collarbone injuries, and despite neither being fully fit they were able to remain in the title race by taking top-six finishes. Britain's Cal Crutchlow had his worst finish of the season in seventh place.

Spain will extend car Death of Italian scrappage scheme Superbike rider The Spanish government said it would extend a scrappage scheme that subsidises purchases of new cars.
The subsidies have tempered the fall in sales in the recession-hit country.
Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said the government would soon pass a decree to add 70 million euros to the scheme after an initial 150 million euros ran out.
Under the scheme, people who scrap their old car and buy a new one get a rebate of 2,000 euros, half from the government and half from the carmaker. Car manufacturers' association Anfac welcomed the move which, it said, would boost the
Spanish economy. The scheme has helped sales to individuals but failed to offset the decline in sales to companies.
Spanish car sales, which have been on a downward trend for the last four years, fell 1 percent year-on-year in June. That compares to a 6 percent decline in overall European car sales last month.
The Russian Superbike Grand Prix was cancelled after Italian rider Andrea Antonelli died following an accident, Russian police said. "The Italian (Antonelli) rider died as a result of his injuries," a police official told the RIA Novosti news agency. The source said that three riders had been involved in the accident. Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport said the accident happened on the first lap as the 25-year-old Antonelli lost control of his Kawasaki and was hit by compatriot Lorenzo Zanetti. Emergency services were quickly on the scene, but Antonelli never regained consciousness.

Froome and Team Sky ride to victory in Paris Chris Froome confirmed himself as the winner of the 100th edition of the Tour de France as the race came to a spectacular close. The Brit crossed the line safely under the lights on the Champs-Elysees to secure back-to-back Tour victories for Team Sky by a commanding margin of four minutes and 20 seconds. Froome won three stages along the way, climbing to mountain-top victories on Ax 3 Domaines (stage eight) and the infamous Mont Ventoux (stage 15). The first African-born winner of the Tour de France also showed his allround strength by winning the undulating stage 17 time trial to Chorges. The final was always likely to come down to a sprint finish and after 10 laps of the famous circuit, Marcel Kittel edged out a close three-man sprint. The Argos-Shimano rider
fended off German compatriot Andre Greipel (Lotto-Belisol) to make history of his own, in the process denying thirdplaced Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) a fifth consecutive win on the ChampsElysees. Moments later it was Froome’s turn to celebrate,
following in the footsteps of team-mate Sir Bradley Wiggins 12 months earlier to cross the line arm-inarm with his Team Sky team-mates. After crossing the line an emotional Froome said: “It brought tears to my eyes just coming over the line with the guys like that. I expected it to be big but this is something else. “I’m
speechless. This really was an amazing way to finish of a fitting 100th edition of the Tour de France." The 28-year-old then took the famous podium, standing alongside second placed Nairo Quintana (Movistar) and third placed Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha) to deliver a heartfelt speech.
Team Sky's Team Principal Sir Dave Brailsford believes Chris Froome has yet to reach his peak and will be challenging for more Tour de France victories for 'quite some time'. Brailsford added: "It is impossible to say how many Tours Chris will win, but he has all the physical and mental attributes to be able to be competitive in this race, if nothing drastic changes, for quite some time. "He is not at his best yet, for sure, he can still reach a better physical condition than he is now." As well as overcoming his rivals on the road, Froome also had to contend with repeated accusations of doping, but Brailsford insists his
rider's handling of the questioning has been impeccable over the course of the race. He added: "For somebody to be accused of being a cheat, as he has been, with venom at times, and the way he's dealt with that has been absolutely first class. He hasn't snapped, he has been patient and tolerant, and he understands why certain people could be venomous towards him.”
Brailsford has now masterminded back-toback Tour victories, and while his team have become the dominant force in road cycling, he insists they are still learning the lessons of three-week Grand Tour racing. Report & photo courtesy of www.teamsky.com
Wayne’s Weekly Poker Tips England thump Aussies The final table for the 2013 World Series of Poker main event has been set.
The field was whittled down to the final nine in the wee small hours of Tuesday morning, with well-known poker professional JC Tran of Sacramento, California, holding the chip lead. The world's biggest no-limit Texas Hold `em competition now takes a break until November 4th, when play begins to determine a champion. The top prize is more than $8.3 million. The other eight players will share $18.3 million. Poker pro Amir Lehavot of Israel finished in second place, and Ryan Riess, of East Lansing, Michigan, finished third. When asked
how he would be preparing for the final table, Las Vegas nightclub host Jay Farber said his only plan “was to go to Hawaii in two weeks”. The 28 yearold entered the tournament for the first time last year and plays poker only as a hobby. Also coming back in the autumn are tattoo artist Marc McLaughlin of Brossard, Quebec, and Columbia University student David Benefield of Fort Worth, Texas. The rest of the finalists are selfidentified poker pros, including Sylvain Loosli of Toulon, France, Michiel Brummelhuis from Amsterdam, and Marc Newhouse of Chapel Hill, N.C.

It was a cakewalk in London as Joe Root’s 180 eased England to a comfortable win and on the road to an Aussie whitewash. cricket over these two weeks.
England didn’t just beat Australia at Lord’s on Sunday, they totally embarrassed them.
Spain missed out when the 10th player, Carlos Mortensen (photo), was eliminated on Tuesday morning after 14 hours of play as the final day of the weeklong tournament drew to a close. Mortensen, a Spaniard pro known as "El Matador," went head to head with Tran after the rest of the table folded. Tran was holding a seven and an eight, and Mortensen, who won the main event in 2001, was holding an ace and a nine. The flop, the first three common cards dealt, came down 10, six, three. Tran went all in on the turn, or fourth card, and Mortensen called, pushing all his chips in. The turn was a nine, giving Tran a straight. Mortensen would have needed a club on the river, or fifth card, to make a flush but got a two of diamonds instead, costing him his spot in the championship. Tran later said he was sad to have been the one to take out Mortensen, the most well-known of the finalists, but also glad that he won't be competition in November.
A narrow nailbiting win in Nottingham was replaced by a cakewalk in London as England won by a whopping 347 runs to surge into a 2-0 Ashes series lead. The heart and fight showed by the last-wicket pair of Pattinson and Ryan Harris in trying to force the game into a fifth day was admirable but ultimately irrelevant as Australia crashed all out for 235. Led by Joe Root’s 180 and his vital two wickets, England
have their opponents in a vice and Aussie thoughts must now turn to trying to avoid a whitewash. Skipper Alastair Cook hailed his side’s victory and: “It was a bit of hard work and we just about got there in the end. We’ve played some pretty good
“We’ve also had to scrap very hard in this game being 30 for three in both innings – people have had to stand up with the bat and deliver.
“Ian Bell’s hundred in the first innings and Rooty’s hundred in the second innings when they were under pressure at the start were fantastic. “And the bowlers have done a great job too.”
UEFA Women’s Euro 2013 Danes stun French Denmark stunned France 4-2 on penalties to set up a semi-final tie against Scandinavian neighbours Norway. Denmark opened the scoring through Johanna Rasmussen's composed finish, before Louisa Necib equalised from the penalty spot for the French after a dodgy decision. The score remained 1-1 after extra-time, with Janni Arnath then striking the winning penalty for the Danes.
Solveig Gulbrandsen and Ada Hegerberg struck and Irene Paredes scored an own goal as Norway defeated Spain 3-1. Eli Landsem's Norway defeated the Spaniards with ease, as they reached the last-four of the tournament for a fourth consecutive time.
England‘s women failed to get past the group stages after three woeful games, and now team coach Hope Powell is under pressure from players past and present to stand down.

Barcelona’s board with a view
England’s Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow cut disconsolate figures after finishing fifth in the 10-metre synchro platform at the World Championships in Barcelona. The pair were fifth at the London Olympics last year and fourth at the last World Championships in Shanhgai in 2011. However, they clearly felt they had let a medal slip from their grasp after being in third with two rounds to go.The competition was won by China, Chen Ruolin claiming her fourth successive world title.
Phil Mickelson wins British Open Phil Mickelson holed the last of his six birdie putts on Sunday finally to win the Major he has coveted for so long, the British Open championship. His longtime caddie, Jim Mackay (Bones), calmly replaced the flagstick on the 18th hole at Muirfield.
Then, one of the driest Opens in recent memory suddenly got a little damp, as Bones and Mickelson embraced, with Bones unable to hold back the tears. He later explained while choking back more tears, “You work for a guy for 21 years, it’s pretty cool when you see him playing the best round of golf you’ve ever seen him play in the last round to win the British Open.”
Mickelson, had begun the day five strokes behind the 54-hole leader, Lee Westwood. He birdied four of his last six holes on his way to a round of five-
under-par 66 that included one bogey, then waited for the final pairings to finish to see if his three-under 281 would be enough.
It took nearly an hour for Mickelson’s maiden British Open victory to become official, and during most of that time he was huddled with his wife and three children outside the scoring trailer. Mackay stood outside the clubhouse fielding questions from reporters and congratulations from fellow caddies and players. Zach Johnson, who started the event with the same score that Mickelson closed with, shook Mackay’s hand and said, “Man, I didn’t know that was out there.”

Lee Westwood couldn’t conjure up the form he had showed all week, with some
day eight shots off the pace. The 37-year-old dropped further back after a bogey on the third, but a birdie on the fifth put him back on track. His run from the ninth started with a 25foot eagle before he rolled in from 40 feet and added two more from 25 feet for a hattrick of birdies.

Shane Warne retires from cricket as he opts out of Big Bash Shane Warne has retired from all forms of cricket after announcing he will not play at this year's Big Bash tournament with the Melbourne Stars. The 43year-old Australian is the second-highest Test wickettaker of all time with 708 in 145 Tests, as well as 293 more in 194 one-day internationals. "I think the time is right for me to hang up my Big Bash boots," he said. "Juggling business, family and commentary commitments across two continents is not easy. "I've always loved the game but now it's time to observe."
