Lagoon rally ACTIVISTS, locals, fishing organisations and trades people have gathered outside Murcia’s regional government building to protest against what they claimed was environmental damage being done to the Mar Menor lagoon. The Pact for the Mar Menor group, an umbrella organisation of campaigners with more than 1,000 members, organised the protest to coincide with World Environment Day last Tuesday. Isabel Rubio, a co-ordinator from the group, spoke with Euro Weekly News ahead of the protest. She said the group were calling on authorities to draw up measures to stop the pollution of the lagoon. “If we want to save the Mar Menor an integral law has to be drawn up. A law which takes into account all the impacts,

Rubio added the salt water lagoon was the “most emblematic” natural site in Murcia. “As well as its important ecological value, this salty lagoon has historical, cultural, geographic and economic value.” “Fishing and tourism are a source of wealth for the inhabitants of the area,” she said.

‘Step one, hire a plane’ Gangster posts guide on how to flee UK
By Matt Ford A BRITISH gangster who went on the run through Spain has taunted investigators by shooting a video guide showing how to flee the country. Convicted drug dealer Sam Walker, 35, who has racked up more than 100 crimes, is wanted after skipping a court appearance for driving without a licence. His rap list includes jail terms for offences ranging from possession of counterfeit cash to threatening police officers, while he once hit the headlines over alleged threats to Chelsea footballer Ross Barkley. He was previously a member of a mob selling heroin and crack cocaine in his native Liverpool. And he has now reached Sierra Leone in West Africa after clocking up more than 7,000 kilometres on his epic escape from justice. He posted a clip shortly after arriving to capital Freetown, where he claims to have met the country’s Vice President Mohammed Juldeh Jalloh, in which he said: “Better luck trying to catch me when I go out of the country next time, Merseyside Police.” A police official later pointed out that he is in fact wanted

Can’t use an airport coz they will nick you.’ It shows Walker flying to Belgium in a private plane before taking a ‘little 14-hour boat trip’ to Morocco, between which he is believed to have flown to Portugal and hitch-hiked through southern Spain. He then embarks on a three-day drive across the Sahara Desert, Mauritania and Senegal before taking another boat to Freetown from Guinea. Walker claims to be in Sierra Leone, where his grandfather was born, to help distrib-
ute charity donations sent from the UK. He insisted: “I was in a Catch-22. I had to fulfil my promise to the people in the slums, knowing full well that when am caught I will get the maximum sentence of four months in jail plus two months for missing my court date. “But to me the people were more important. The court date could wait. Sometimes in life you have to do the wrong thing in the eyes of the law in order to do the right thing.” He also claims to have spent thousands on installing fresh water pipes in the city’s
slums after seeing “men, women and children dying.” He added: “I have not just woke up and changed overnight. I am still the same person and still do what I do. “I know when I come back to the UK I will be arrested at the airport and put straight in jail. “I can deal with that knowing that I have fulfilled my promise to the people in the slums by giving them a container full of toys, clothes and food and given them fresh, clean water so no man, woman or child ever has to risk their lives by drinking dirty sewage water again.”

Damage from heavy rain
THE BIG PICTURE Nº 17
A TOTAL of 69 incidents were reported to the 112 Emergency Services line in the Murcia Region after it was struck by storms and floods. Several roads were reportedly filled with water in Caravaca de la Cruz and parades set to take place in Torre Pacheco had to be called off.
Drugs bust GUARDIA CIVIL officers have arrested several people in connection with drugs offences in Jumilla, with four detainees from the town. Police said further arrests in the coming days were not ruled out, with three of those arrested in the town remanded in custody and one released on bail.
OUSTED: Former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy in Spanish parliament.
Crash arrest LOCAL POLICE have arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with a 10-year-old boy who was injured in a car accident in Alicante City. The child was reportedly taken to the Intensive Care Unit of Alicante General Hospital after being hit by the car, with the driver having being released on bail.
Terror drill STUDENTS at the San Antonio Catholic University of Murcia (UCAM) took part in a training exercise to simulate the effects of a terrorist attack on Monday. The drill was designed to recreate the results from last year’s attack at La Rambla in Barcelona to give emergency services training on helping wounded people.
Fire fought FOUR people were taken to hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation after a blaze broke out on Calle Abenarabi in the Los Dolores area of Cartagena. Emergency services including police were called to the fire at around 1.30pm on Friday, with an electrics panel believed to be the cause of the fire.
Two injured A MAN was taken to hospital and another treated by paramedics after a brawl broke out in La Alberca at around 7pm on Sunday. One of those injured was found unconscious and both had head injuries from being caught up in the fight which involved at least five people, according to witnesses.
Adios, PM! SOCIALIST leader Pedro Sanchez is Spain’s new Prime Minister after Mariano Rajoy was kicked out of office. It comes in the wake of a landmark no-confidence vote after Rajoy’s conservative People’s Party was found guilty of accepting kickbacks in exchange for lucrative public contracts. Madrid’s highest criminal court convicted 29 officials over their involvement in the scandal, with former treasurer Luis Barcenas jailed for 33 years and fined €44 million. And the fallout - which saw the credibility of Rajoy’s own testimony in the enquiry disputed - proved one scandal too far for the leader once dubbed the great survivor of Spanish politics. He had been in office since 2011 and weathered a string of corruption probes, but was unable to withstand political anger after opposition parties united to seal his fate. After the vote, Rajoy, 63, approached 46-year-old Sanchez in the parliamentary chamber and shook the incoming leader’s hand. “It has been an honour to be the prime minister of Spain,” he earlier told MPs. “It has been an honour to leave a better Spain than the one I found. I hope that my successor will be able to say the same when his time comes.” See page 32.
Elderly body found POLICE have begun tracing a murder suspect after finding the body of a 69year-old woman covered in blows and wounds in a house in Elche. Officers were called to the home on the Calle Capitan Alfonso Vives last week after the woman’s daughter told National Police she could not get in contact with her. They found her lifeless body which they said bore stabbing wounds and other injuries inside one of the rooms.
Murder and forensic specialists have now taken over the probe, with officers combing the home for evidence and removing the corpse early last Thursday morning. Police have reportedly conducted interviews with the woman’s daughter and with neighbours as part of the investigation. Another child of the deceased woman who is currently unaccounted for has become the prime suspect in the case.

Bus shooting
NATIONAL POLICE have been tracing three youth suspects in connection with the shooting of a bus with ball bearing pellets in Murcia City. The line 31 intercity bus was hit when it stopped at traffic lights at the junction of Calle Paul VI and Avenida Primera de Mayo at around 9.45pm on Thursday. Reports state that at least three lead pellets then struck the vehicle’s windows. It was carrying around 30 passengers including
150
children at the time. Footage shot from inside the vehicle that has since been posted by Spanish media appears to show glass shattered and marked with holes. No injuries were reported as a result of the alleged shooting but some passengers were left nervous. Officers probing the incident were tracing youth suspects after witnesses reported seeing a teenager brandishing a weapon near the scene. Police have not ruled out making multiple arrests.

Carved in stone A BRITISH expatriate artist has been commissioned to create a memorial to remember heroes of Spain’s civil war. At least 45 men from across the world were killed when their ship, the Ciudad de Barcelona, was torpedoed by a submarine off the Catalan coast. They were among 300 International Brigadistas on their way to join the Republican fight against General Franco’s fascist Nationalist army. More than 120 of the soldiers were pulled from the sea by fishermen from the nearby town of Malgra de Mar, but many sank with the vessel. Witnesses said that they sang left-wing anthem The Internationale as they went down, while at least 23 others were later killed in the war. “It was late afternoon,” Welsh survivor Alun Menai Williams, who wrote the book ‘From the Rhondda to the Ebro,’ told UK media. “I was leaning on the ship’s rail taking in my first view of Spain and its shoreline, some one and a half miles in the distance, when there came one hell of an almighty bang. “The ship shook, tried to get airborne, before settling down at a crazy angle.” American Jack Freeman added: “It was a pretty

TOP dirty business… some fellows were killed while they were asleep, some were trapped below decks.” General Franco banned talk of the attack in its aftermath, but Robert Macdonald, originally from Rugby, Warwickshire, has decided to sculpt a monument in their honour. The Barcelona-based stonemason is carving Solidarity Park from locally-sourced limestone, which when complete will include 60 half-metre tall figures representing the brigadistas set atop an abstract ship and stone map of the world. Macdonald says the figures symbolise “the unity of the struggle of the Brigadiers, but each will have individual carved features thus expressing the diversity of us all.” He hopes the project - a collaboration with students, historians, local people and the families and friends of the fallen - will encourage people to consider the treatment of foreigners, immigrants and refugees. More than €13,500 of the €20,000 estimated cost has already been raised by crowdfunding, with the final work to be displayed in a Malgret de Mar park.

But Gemma Oaten, 34, appeared carefree as she put on a racy display with her new squeeze, actor Stuart Earp, 30, on a beach in Salou, near Barcelona. The pair met while starring together in a pantomime version of the Wizard of Oz, and got together while he was allegedly engaged to another woman. Kerryann Clive, 23, said at the time that she only dumped him after pictures emerged of her boyfriend together with the soap star. But after fiercely denying the claims, the
Hull-born beauty sizzled after slipping into a colourful bikini as she frolicked in the shallows. She later donned a coral red coverup dress as the lovebirds wrapped their arms around each other. Gemma was previously living with film producer Scott Walker but they split after a year together. PANTO-MINE: Gemma Oaten.

OUR VIEW Political crisis might not yet be over for Sanchez SPAIN has a new Prime Minister, but for Pedro Sanchez the real battle might only just be underway. The socialist is tasked with forming a government that represents the country he now leads rather than just the party he stands for. And with 84 seats in a 350-strong parliament, the task does not appear enviable. He cannot possibly hope to satisfy all 180 lawmakers who lent him their support during last week’s no-confidence motion in outgoing rival Mariano Rajoy, since many have openly admitted they sided with him only to see the Popular Party ousted. What Spain needs right now is stability, and it will take all of Sanchez’ political skills to achieve it Prime Minister Pedro - page 32

And when they arrive, they are told to pay off debts they were previously unaware of and forced to prostitute themselves. So who are the real victims? Expats held - page 22

AIR RESCUE: The 69-year-old hurt his ribs and foot.
By Matt Ford A BRITISH climber has been rescued after plummeting more than 10 metres down a Spanish mountain in pitch darkness. The unnamed 69-year-old was found clinging to a tiny ledge with rib and foot injuries after using a mobile phone app to contact his family in the UK. They immediately contacted the British Consulate who raised the alarm.
A Guardia Civil mountain rescue team located him in the Las Minas del Rabico area of the Picos de Europa mountain range in Castilla y Leon using the coordinates he provided. Rescuers said he suffered the fall after getting lost during a solo trek when thick fog descended. They used ropes and a ladder to pull him to safety before setting up a small rescue tent where he was able to recover
strength and warmth with food and water. At first light he was winched to a helicopter in a risky manoeuvre before being flown to the Panderrueda pass where an air ambulance was waiting to transfer him to hospital. A Guardia Civil official said: “He was found at 2am, lying on a shelf in a very precarious position and with the real possibility of falling into the void below.�

Plane ridiculous A BRITISH couple were unable to fly to their Spanish holiday home using a €115 Ryanair voucher because it was in the name of ‘Mum Dad.’ Kathryn and Richard Bolton, from Banbury, Oxfordshire, were told they could not use the voucher, bought for them by son Nick, 34, because the ‘names did not match’ those on their passports.

At least two other servicemen are believed to have been hurt after a BMR armoured personnel carrier overturned during an exercise at a firing range near the town of Pajara, Fuerteventura. General Venancio Aguado of the Canarias XVI Brigade named the victims as corporal Jose Luis Leon Socorro and private Eynar Esau Mina Lozano in a statement issued by the Spanish Ministry of Defence. The injured men were reportedly transferred to the island’s Puerto de Rosario Hospital in the wake of the accident, which happened during a two-week field training exercise involving 600 troops and a hundred vehicles.

The firemen located the cat in a conduit for the electricity cables feeding the streetlight but could not reach it with the equipment they had to hand and their colleagues in Torrevieja were unable to supply with the specialised equipment they needed. Meanwhile, Iberdrola cut off the supply to the streetlamp so that the cat was not electrocuted while Guardamar Town Hall located a Rojales firm that sent along an excavator. The cat, young but unharmed, is now in the care of an animal shelter.

Rape sentence A FORMER French Foreign Legionnaire found guilty of attempting to rape a woman and for assaulting her has been handed a two-year suspended prison sentence. Murcia’s Provincial Court heard the defendant met the woman when he was stationed in the region on manoeuvres with his unit. Prosecutors told the court the 29-year-old went to a nightclub on the San Gines industrial estate on the outskirts of Murcia City where he met the woman. She was working as a prostitute at the time. The defendant, from Mongolia, paid to have sex with her but is said to have grabbed the woman and held her on the bed after his agreed time had ended. He then attempted to penetrate her without wearing contraception. The court heard the man covered the victim’s mouth with one hand to stop her from screaming while placing his other arm across her neck, suffocating her. Workers at the club heard her cries from outside at which point in-house security entered the room. The court suspended the sentence for a total of three years and also fined the defendant €180.

AUTHORITIES in the Murcia have launched a volunteer force to help monitor loggerhead turtles on the region’s beaches. The Environment Ministry will run the network from this month until September in order to raise awareness among beachgoers as the animals begin breeding. Consuelo Rosauro, the director of Murcia Region’s environment agency, said training and awareness were a key part of helping to protect the area’s natural heritage. “That is why we are developing campaigns like this one, which help citizens become aware of the importance of being involved in conservation work and find solutions to environmental challenges,” she said. Officials said they would provide bathers with information on what to do if they find the nests of the endangered turtles. Loggerheads crawl onto beaches to lay their eggs as part of their breeding routine.
Volunteers are also set to make early morning trips to the coastline in places such as Calblanque Regional Park and La Manga del Mar Menor to find the creature’s nests. Posters are also set to be put up in beach bars, libraries, supermarkets, health centres and places visited by fisherman as part of the awareness drive. They will reportedly tell the public to avoid touching the turtles, making loud noises around them or startling them. The numbers of loggerheads making nests of Spanish coasts has reportedly risen in recent years. Their status as an endangered species means their breeding and nesting has to be closely monitored. Rosauro said anyone who found a turtle nest should not disturb it. She added they should call the 112 emergency services line so wildlife protection officers could be informed.

LOSS: Ignacio Echeverria’s father, Joaquín, after an Easter speech in Toledo.
Tribute to London Bridge ‘Skateboard Hero’ By Gregory Kirby THE father of Ignacio Echeverria, the ‘skateboard hero’ stabbed to death by terrorists during the London bridge attacks last year, has paid tribute to his son a year on. “He did what he had to do. I wouldn’t expect less from him,” Joaquin Echeverria, Ignacio’s father, said. “I want it to be known that he always wanted to be good,” he added. The terrorists were stabbing a woman when Echeverria, from Madrid, intervened armed with just his skateboard. “And the next thing Ignacio was then being struck by the three terrorists,” Echeverria’s father said.” The Spaniard - who was an anti-money laundering expert at HSBC bank - had said he would intervene in the event of a terrorist attack during a family conversation just a few months prior to the June 3 attacks, his father told. The Spanish government posthumously awarded him the Great Cross of the order of Civil Merit for ‘extraordinary services.’ Spain’s king Felipe VI also honoured his bravery in a speech given in UK parliament during a state visit last year. A commemoration to those who died during the attacks was held at Southward Needle on London Bridge last Sunday
marking one year since the attack. Prime Minister Teresa May attended alongside Labour party leader, Jeremy Corbyn, London Metropolitan police chief, Cressida Dick and mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. “The many stories of courage demonstrated that night will always stay with me, such as Ignacio Echeverria, who died after confronting the terrorists with the only thing he had, his skateboard,” the Prime Minister said. Islamic State-inspired terrorists ploughed down pedestrians on London bridge in a van before crashing it on the
south bank of the River Thames. They ran to nearby Borough market storming pubs and restaurants and stabbing whoever they could find before Metropolitan police shot them dead. A total of 48 people were injured in the attacks and eight people were killed which in addition to Echeverria include, Canadian Christine Archibald, 30, James McMullan, 32, from Hackney, Frenchmen Alexandre Pigeard, 26, Sebastien Belanger, 36 and Xavier Thomas, 45, Australians Kirsty Boden, 28 and Sara Zelenak 21.

A Ryanair spokesperson said: “Like all businesses, our optional fees can change unlike our fares, which keep coming down.” He did not say which transfers would be affected by increased luggage fees. Airline CEO Michael O’Leary said checking in cabin bags at the gate is causing ‘handling issues’ on charters. The problem is worst during bank holiday weekends and summer peak periods with up to 120 free-ofcharge bags being handled at gates, he added. Ryainair’s new bag policy could reportedly be costing €50 million each year. And O’Leary said he may have to rethink it if the number of bags being checked-in at gates continues to rise. The airline makes €5.7 million per day from additional charges and €2 billion each year from ‘ancillary revenues’ coming from additional extras like priority boarding and seat reservations.

CAUSING A STINK: The ‘unwashed’ traveller is escorted to a bus.
Plane disgusting Smelly passenger sparks diversion by Staff Reporter A FLIGHT packed with holidaymakers on their way to Spain was forced to make an emergency landing due to the ‘unbearable’ stench of an ‘unwashed’ man. The passenger’s body odour was so vile that the Transavia service from Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport to Gran Canaria was diverted to Faro on Portugal’s Algarve. Cabin crew reportedly tried to make the traveller sit in the
toilet before the captain decided to cut the journey short so that he could be taken off the Boeing 737 aircraft. The foul smell caused some sun-seekers to vomit while others fainted, with Belgian traveller Piet van Haut describing the reek as “unbearable.” He added: “It was like he hadn’t washed himself for several weeks. “Several passengers got sick and had to puke.” A picture snapped by one of those aboard the plane shows
ground staff escorting the stinking individual onto a waiting bus. A Transavia official said: “The aeroplane diverted because of medical reasons, but it is indeed right that he smelled quite a bit.” It remains unclear why he stank, or what medical condition he was suffering from. In February, a Transavia jet from Dubai to Amsterdam was re-routed because a passenger repeatedly broke wind, sparking a mid-air brawl.

‘Men in black’ were a fabrication THE partner of an Elda man whose eight-year-old foster son died during an apparent break-in was charged with his murder. Nine months ago the 31-year-old woman named Alejandra, who was then four months pregnant, claimed that two men dressed in black and wearing motorcycle helmets pounced on her and her partner’s foster son Dominique as they left their rented home in central Elda. They forced her back inside the apartment where she was tied up and hooded before being beaten and sexually assaulted. She subsequently fainted but had been aware of flashes, as though her assailants were taking photographs, she told police afterwards.
On regaining consciousness and unseen by her captors, she made two video calls to her mother, because although she is deaf she can lipread. Meanwhile, after the attackers had gone, leaving the apartment door open, an alarmed neighbour called the 112 Emergency Services. Dominique’s half-naked body was sprawled on the floor but despite traces of vomit and blood showed no external signs of violence. Pathologists later established the boy, who was autistic and had a heart condition, died of asphyxiation. He visited his father frequently but normally lived with his permanent foster mother who was holidaying at the time. Police doubted Alejandra’s story from the outset, sources revealed.

SAVED: The dogs alerted their owner to the fire TWO dogs have been hailed after saving their owner’s life in Alicante. It comes after a second-hand furniture shop in Lliber, a small town in the Jalon Valley popular with expatriates, was gutted by fire. Located in an industrial unit on the Jalon-Benissa road, the owner - named locally as Dominique - lives above the premises and was asleep when

But her Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs Lua and Llop alerted her to the danger. “They saved my life without a doubt,” the relieved woman said. “Lua started to bark but I told her to shut up and tried to go back to sleep. “Then Llop grabbed my arm and tried to pull me out of bed,” she continued. “I got out of bed and at that point saw that the
flames were already inside the house.” But when she grabbed a fire extinguisher a window exploded, forcing her to flee. Neighbours called emergency services, with firefighters from Denia attending the scene and extinguishing the fire, which caused serious damage to her home, but did not affect the shop. Police are now probing the cause of the incident.

Reinforced concrete tower blocks of 15 or more storeys constructed in the 60’s and early 70’s were built prior to earthquake regulations, explained Professor Salvador Ivorra. The professor, who heads the university’s department of Simulation, Modelling and Structure Testing (GRESMES) explained that many early buildings were constructed with bad materials and have been subjected to wind and the sea air for the last 40 or 50 years. “These buildings are not going to collapse, but they need technical inspections,” Professor Chorro said.

The earliest buildings made less provision for wind erosion, the GRESMES investigators found, and without taking possible seismic activity into account.

Province buildings had to be earthquake-proof. In line with current regulations, reinforced concrete buildings are designed to have a useful life of 50 years, after which problems are likely to occur, Ivorra said. They would not collapse, he added, but how long they lasted would depend on the aggressive elements to which they were exposed and all should be inspected, he added.

Path to power THE PSOE’s no confidence motion came in the wake of the Gurtel kickback-for-contracts scandal. Spanish lawmakers debated the motion last Thursday and Friday, with the vote taken at 11am on the latter day. Rajoy said Sanchez’s motion was an attempt to get into power without having to contest an election. “Mr Sanchez is concerned because he is not doing any better in the polls, and he has realised that he will never reach government through elections,” he said. Sanchez came next and called on Rajoy to leave office voluntarily rather than face the no confidence vote. “The time has come, there is no middleof-the-road way to raise the quality of our democracy, which is now being questioned,” he said The speeches were followed by efforts from the PSOE to win over smaller, regionalist parties to support the motion, accomplished by Thursday evening. The motion passed on Friday morning with 180 votes in favour, 169 against and one abstention. That left Rajoy ousted and Sanchez installed as Prime Minister.

THE head of Spain’s government faces a number of challenges as he gets his feet under the table in the prime minister’s residence of La Moncloa. The first is the PSOE’s position in the Cortes Generales, Spain’s Parliament. The party has 84 seats in the 350-seat lower house and 62 senators in the 266-strong upper chamber. Sanchez said last week he would go to the polls to get a mandate from Spanish voters. He will have to rely on support from the far left Podemos party and small regionalist parties in the meantime to get legislation passed. Cataluña’s push for greater powers looks set to continue which could pose further issues for the prime minister. Sanchez was a vocal opponent of Cataluña’s push for independence and recently branded Torra the ‘Le Pen of Spanish politics’ in a reference to the nationalist French politician. He will now have to sit across the table from Torra who may well take advantage of the PSOE’s fragile position in parliament to extract pledges for greater Catalan self-rule.

SHOTS HEARD: Gunfire was heard in Granada three times. GUNSHOTS have been heard in Granada City up to three times and in three separate places over the weekend, according to media reports of local witnesses. The first shot was reportedly fired in the Caseria del Cerro area of the city late on Friday and in the early hours of Saturday. A gun was fired in the air in the Almanjayar area while police were deployed to Calle Juan de Salcedo after further reports of gunfire on Sunday.
The first of the three incidents is believed to have begun late on Friday evening in what was reportedly a shootout between rival gangs. Police seized a total of five weapons after arriving in the Caseria del Cerro area on Saturday, with two of those reportedly replicas. Five people were arrested in connection with the gunfire. The second shot was heard in the Almanjayar area of the city at around 5.15pm on Sunday. Emergency services said police
went to Calle Molino Nuevo where someone had fired a shot at a gate but found no damage or injuries had been caused. At least seven police vehicles were despatched to Calle Juan de Salcedo at around 6.00pm, with the street cordoned off according to witnesses.

Motorhome parking to be regulated ALL political parties on Torrevieja Council agreed recently that motorhome parking inside the municipality needs regulating. Much of the town’s undeveloped coastal land is occupied by motorhomes but despite overall agreement amongst councillors, there was less unity regarding what form regulations should take. The motion presented by Ciudadanos (Cs) councillor Pilar Gomez called for an analysis of measures in other parts of the country combined with assessment from Spain’s federation of motorhome owners’ associations. Opinions diverged over making land available for motorhomes, a suggestion backed by Cs, Sueña Torrevieja and the Partido Popular, although the latter conditioned its approval with a technical report and creating a cross-party committee.
MOTOR HOME-LESS: The council has agreed that motorhome parking needs regulating. The local government’s fourparty coalition was split down the middle, with Los Verdes and IU abstaining and PSOE and APTC voting against it. Sueña spokesman Pablo Samper reminded fellow councillors that his party has been asking for solutions for motorhome tourism for some time, owing to the parking problems involved and the impact of its activities.
These vehicles have taken over the coves, which are public property with protected right-of-way access under the Costas laws, Samper said. They also congregated in the car parks adjoining the Molino del Agua municipal park, which include public rights-of-way, as well as some Cala Dorada zones and even car parks in the town centre, Samper pointed out.

Estranged mother died alone A WOMAN of 86 was found dead in her Elche home seven months after her death. Alarmed neighbours had called the Local Police as they had not seen her for so long, but remembered she had needed rescuing by the fire brigade following a fall last October. She had been taken to hospital but they had seen nothing of her after that, they told the Local Police officers who answered the call. They suspected that possibly she was still inside the apartment as occasionally they noticed a strong smell, they said. “We lost sight of her after the fall in October and thought that perhaps she had gone to live in a residence, but never imagined anything like this,” a neighbour said. They began to worry some days back when the lift had to be repaired and they found she had failed to pay her community dues. The water meter had also been cut off owing to nonpayment. “It was very odd. We knocked and nobody answered the door and that was when we became suspicious.” The Local Police officers found nothing unusual from the exterior and without an official complaint from a relative or someone close, they could not enter the apartment, they explained.
FOUND DEAD: It was several months before the woman was discovered. The concerned neighbour then got in touch with the dead woman’s children, with whom she seldom had contact, and her daughter lodged a formal complaint with the National Police, authorising them to enter the apartment.

Irish low-cost specialist Ryanair placed seventh most affordable on the list, which was compiled from economy-class flight prices returned in search results from transport search engine Rome2rio.
SPAIN’S ousted People’s Party (PP) has threatened to use its Senate majority to disrupt the new government’s budget. PP parliamentary spokesperson Rafael Hernando said his party now wishes to “improve” its own long-delayed budget that was only passed a few weeks ago following months of negotiations. He suggested this could include reigning in some of the promised €500 million infrastructure investment for the Basque region that enabled his party to pass the budget with support from the
former Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy kicked out of office. But Hernando said his party’s relationship with one-time ally the Basque PNV has changed after its MPs voted with the Socialists to remove the PP from power. “At this moment, we do not have a link with the PNV because it has broken the trust,” he confirmed. PNV official Aitor Esteban added that the move could offer the PP “satisfaction for five minutes,” but would “be very bad political business that would mean punishing the Basque society.”

Summer is just the job MORE than 1.5 million people in Spain are expected to find work on temporary contracts this summer, according to the world’s largest staffing agency Adecco, with seven out of 10 employed in Anadalucia, the Valencian Community, Murcia, Cataluña and Madrid.
Brakes off SPAINFUL: A Primark store and (inset) the shirt in question. WALLET-FRIENDLY Irish clothing chain Primark is again selling t-shirts emblazoned with the Spanish flag in Cataluña. It comes after a recorded telephone call between an irate customer and an employee went viral on social media. The shopper rang to complain that the firm was selling themed World Cup shirts for all competing nations except Spain in the troubled northern region. And in the audio clip, the shop worker is heard to respond
that no Spanish version would be sold locally “to avoid a fracas,” sparking outrage online with calls to boycott the brand. Hours later, an official said in a statement that the decision, made due to “the political situation” had been reversed, and that Spain shirts would be available “as soon as our logistic services permit.” He added: “We recognise that the idea was wrong and has been interpreted as a lack of respect for the Spanish national team, for which we apologise.”
SPAIN’S automotive industry generated 5,300 new jobs and raked in more than €28.1 million for the Spanish tax agency last year - a year-onyear increase of 5.7 per cent according to the latest government statistics.
Blast compo ENERGY firm Gas Natural must pay €2.1 million compensation to victims of a gas explosion which killed five people in Tarragona, Cataluña, a court ruling said, with more than half paid to a man who lost his wife and three children.
€21.3m tourist bonanza MORE than 20.5 million tourists visited Spain during the first four months of 2018, as the country raked in more than €21.3 million. The figures represent year-on-year increases of 2.3 and 4.6 per cent, respectively, according to data from the National Statistics Institute. And while British holidaymakers retained top spot in the ranking, with 4.3 million sun-seekers
flocking to tourist hot spots from January to April, the total dropped by 1.6 per cent compared with 2017. The most popular destination for foreigners was the Canary Islands, with 4.8 million visitors, followed by Cataluña with 4.7 million and Andalucia with 2.9 million, while the average break lasted 6.8 days.

Euro and pound flounder, US dollar rises Ask the expert Peter Loveday Contact me at euroweekly@currenciesdirect.com
Euro EUR/GBP: Fluctuating, but unmoved at £0.87 EUR/USD: Down from $1.20 to $1.15 The euro (EUR) posted a mixed performance in May, encumbered by ongoing political uncertainty in Italy and Spain, and enduring concerns that the European Central Bank (ECB) will extend their bond-buying programme beyond September this year. As May draws to a close, however, there has been some good news in the form of a Q2 recovery in German data. This includes the unemployment rate falling from 5.3% to 5.2% in May and retail sales rising from the -0.4% contraction in March, to grow by 2.3% in April (month-on-month). Looking ahead, investors will be keeping a close eye on Eurozone data - particularly the looming inflation print - but given the current dovish outlook of the ECB it seems unlikely that the euro will find much purchase.
LOOKING AHEAD: Investors will be keeping a close eye on Eurozone data. Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.13 to €1.14 GBP/USD: Down from $1.37 to $1.32 The pound struggled to make much headway in May, limited in the early weeks by easing consumer price inflation and the ongoing burden of Brexit negotiation stagnation. On a brighter note, the UK’s labour market
continued to jump from strength to strength, with unemployment sliding to a surprising 4.2% low in the three months to March, whilst retail sales also recovered from 1.3% to 1.5%. Whether this will be enough to push the Bank of England (BoE) towards acting in a more hawkish fashion with regards to policy remains to be seen, but many analysts are hopeful that the
Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will raise interest rates by 25bp in August. As we move through June investors will be desperately looking for any signs of progress in Brexit negotiations, particularly with the EU summit scheduled for the end of the month. If progress is made then we could see the pound make a comeback. US Dollar USD/GBP: Up from £0.72 to £0.75 USD/EUR: Up from €0.82 to €0.86 The US dollar stormed ahead in May, driven by ongoing expectations for monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve, as well as the robust performance of the US labour market and improving trade relations with China. A marked rise in US inflation towards the start of the month was good news for USD bulls, with the Fed expected to continue on their gradual path of monetary tightening this year and next. Beyond this, China has agreed to compromise on various aspects of trade, including agreeing to buy more US goods and services and even plans to address the questionable usage of foreign intellectual property rights. The outlook remains positive, though any signs of cooling relations between China and the US could send investors to safer shores.

Media blackout is what’s most worrying LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T think the position of British politicians could have been demonstrated more clearly than their actions concerning two situations that arose in London recently. On one side of the city a man was being arrested outside the law courts (under some weak excuse of a past contempt charge), for talking on his telephone about a paedophile grooming case being heard inside; while in another part of the city, hooded Islamists, marching with megaphones and spouting anti British propaganda, were being given a police escort! The one glaringly obvious fact that emerges from these two occurrences is that something is clearly not right. The arrest of Tommy Robinson was a disgraceful act of politically motivated injustice. A decision that should send shivers up the spines of all decent people who believe in the free speech and the democratic society our forefathers fought and died for.
When this man Tommy Robinson first appeared on the scene, I didn’t particularly like him, or the farright policies he appeared to stand for. In those days it was relatively easy for the government and law enforcers to write him off as a fascist yobbo. But over the years things have changed. The man has now earned a far more acceptable cloak of respectability. He has appeared
on a number of serious political discussions in the media. His views on rape gangs, sharia courts, no go areas and Islamic appeasement, that were at one time dismissed as ‘racist propaganda,’ are now coming to pass and a large and rapidly growing section of the British public are finally beginning to sit up and listen. In their usual ‘out of touch’ manner the authorities thought that it would all blow over if they simply locked him up and put him out of sight and out of mind. Well this time they have made what could turn out to be an extremely serious mis-
TOMMY ROBINSON JAILING: ‘A disgraceful act of politically motivated injustice.’
take. They reckoned without the social media. The gagging orders they arrogantly put on all events that could ‘cause embarrassment,’ (or worse), simply don’t work any more, and this latest was no exception. Despite their efforts to suppress information thousands of people turned out, not only in London, but in many major cities across the world; they actually stormed Downing Street! All of them calling for the release of this man and the injustice of his arrest. At the time of writing half a million people have signed a petition with the same message. It would take a brave or extremely stupid politician to label all these people knuckle dragging right wing bigots. The most worrying, and indeed insulting aspect of all, is the media blackout. This is a blatant dictatorial attempt to suppress our most precious freedom of all. Our right to free speech. Millions of decent people are, at the moment, either worried or utterly peed off with it all. Heaven help our leaders if this worry turns to serious anger. Let us hope no harm comes to Tommy Robinson in prison, particularly from an Islamic extremist. In this event, he could turn into the catalyst which triggers off the scenario this ol’ boy has also been warning of for the last 25 years. Keep the faith. Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

Long established travel agency appreciated by Europe’s largest cruise company TRAVEL AGENCY, Falken Tours was delighted to be recognised by Italian company Costa Cruises at the 25th annual Protagonistas del Mar event which celebrates travel agents involved in promoting cruises. In this, its 70th anniversary year, Costa Cruises particularly singled out Falken Tours and two other agencies for being amongst the three most regular participants in the event over the years. More than 1,800 professionals from the travel business coming from 32 different countries were present at this star-studied event which was held in the Costa Favolosa to enjoy a short cruise around the Mediterranean and to learn more about the future plans of the market sector and Costa Cruises. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the cruise company, there was a special gala dinner and
FALKEN TOURS: Representatives on stage during the gala. subsequent party. Costa Cruises also took the opportunity to show its vision of the future with the announcement of the fact that the latest edition to its fleet, the Costa Smeralda, is the first large cruise ship powered by liquefied natural gas, the
cleanest fossil fuel in the world. The Costa Smeralda will become the new flagship of the company and is being built with the inclusion of first class Italian design and fittings, as well as with the latest technology to ensure the most exciting entertainment.
Thanks to virtual reality technology, those present were able to discover all of the different areas of the ship such as the swimming pools, Il Colosseo (the great central plaza that will delight the most technological), the cabins with double balconies towards the sea, the Arlecchino restaurant as well as the teraza and Superba bar. The first of these special new, state of the art cruise ships will be delivered in 2019 with more in 2021 (along with others for the AIDA Cruises brand): they will have a revolutionary ‘green’ design and will also be powered by liquefied natural gas, which will represent a huge environmental advance. Costa Cruises embodies Italian excellence thanks to its 19,000 Costa partners around the world, who work every day with passion to offer the best Italian cruise holidays with 137 different
itineraries, 261 destinations and 60 ports of embarkation.

A Bishop, a curry and a huge amount of talent TV COUCH CRITIC by Adam Whalley-Lewis BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT finally reached its conclusion for season 12 over the weekend (ITV) with Lee ‘Lost Voice Guy’ crowned the winner. Now it probably says a lot about me, but be honest, like me, were you initially unsure how to react to someone so confident, whose act is so different and who is so brilliantly funny? And Bishop Curry doing the intro as though God Himself would be watching, that was a Marmite moment. Lee is a star. I’m a Geordie, so Lee gets an automatic tick in the votes box and my brother is called Lee, so another tick, but the guy is also terrific and that’s surely what everyone saw and why he won. I love that Lee wants to develop a Geordie accent for his voice, although the pronunciation of ‘Newcassel’ he currently has is probably good enough for most stottie eaters I
know. Finally on BGT, I really wanted to like Robert White, but couldn’t. He had some funny one liners - ‘I have Asperger’s, what does that say about me, compared to you, I’m more intelligent’ - brilliantly intelligent humour, but the digs at Amanda and to some degree David, just didn’t do it for me. A Very English Scandal (BBC1) concluded on Sunday evening. You know I’m a fan of the show and the final episode didn’t disappoint. As this all too short series has moved along, I’ve become an even bigger fan of Monica Dolan who plays Thorpe’s devoted wife, Marion. She has had some cracking one liners and the boil in the bag, cod in parsley sauce scene, is the stuff of TV legend. If you missed the series, you can catch up on BBC iPlayer. One of Channel 5’s better Sunday offerings was The Unstoppable Flying Scotsman, which must have had
ALL TOO SHORT: A Very English Scandal. STAR: Lee bagged the Britain’s Got Talent crown. stream and train addicts (I’m told they are not necessarily one and the same) on the edge of their seats. Of course there were lots of shots of the magnificent locomotive and Rob Bell (he’s an engineer and obvious Scotsman fan) did a smashing job guiding us
through the sometimes turbulent story of perhaps the most famous train in the world. There are only two 60minute episodes, so my advice is set a reminder and watch them both together, with a massive glass of your favourite tipple and an even bigger
dose of nostalgia. We are still with Sunday TV, but this will be brief. Where is the story going on The Handmaid’s Tale, Channel 4? We know that season two doesn’t follow the book, because there is no season two storyline in the book, but I’m going off the dark rooms (someone just switch on a light, please) and the seemingly never-ending attempt to get to the Promised Land, in this case that would be Canada and I don’t mean the lovely shopping centre just off the A-7 on the Costa del Sol. I have previously said I find this hard to watch, but it’s getting harder for all the wrong reasons. Looking forward, BBC1 has the annual coverage of Trooping the Colour on Saturday morning if you need a top up of pageantry following the Royal Wedding; Channel 4 is in Spain looking for A Place in the Sun on Saturday afternoon and Versailles continues on BBC2 on Monday night - I will let you know what I make of the new series next week. Happy viewing.

Motor insurance claims: Always complete the accident report form a n d e m a i l i t to y o u r in s u ra n ce agent/broker as soon as possible. The insurance companies have just seven days from the date of the accident to apportion blame so you need to get your version of events in quickly. Photos will help, not only of the damage but of the accident itself, again email them to your agent. Home insurance claims: Keep your receipts for everything. If you are burgled this will be the only proof that you actually owned the items that were stolen. If y o u r p o sse ssi o n s are d ama g ed b y lightning, fire, flood, etc it is essential that

In the event that they were stolen, if you cannot prove that you owned them in the first instance again the claim may be denied.
GOOD ADVICE: Keep all your receipts and take photos. you keep them for the assessors to inspect so that they can determine that the damage you are claiming was as a result of the
specified incident. In this case photos can help but are no substitute. U nfortuna te ly, in a dishonest wor l d

Problems with your tenant? By Juan Angel Alvarez-Gรณmez (Solicitor) YOU own a property in Spain and have rented it out. If your tenant is not paying the rent and utility bills on time or he is reluctant to pay them at any time, you have three options: OPTION A: Raise an action for eviction and claim the unpaid rents and utility bills. In this particular case, you want your tenant to be evicted as he does not pay the rent and bills or he is just late in doing it. There is a swift way to sue your tenant. First of all, you have to send him a burofax asking him to leave your property and/or pay you the outstanding rent and bills. It is advisable to send such a burofax with a proof of receipt. The post office should also certify its contents. If the tenant does not pay you after 30 days from when he receives the burofax, then you can sue him. The judge will give the tenant 10 days to leave the property. If he does not do it, he will be forced to leave the house by means of a warrant. A court officer will fulfil the warrant. If your tenant does not leave the house, then the police can evict him.
PROBLEM TENANTS: Ensure you know your rights and the correct procedures. If you opt for this kind of legal action, you have to be sure you will be able to get the money the tenant is owing you. Legal fees to be paid for this type of legal action are higher than the ones you would pay for a plain action for eviction. OPTION B: Raise an action for eviction.
The way it works is very similar to option A, except you only want the tenant to be evicted. In this particular case, you are not claiming for the unpaid rent and utility bills. Legal fees to be paid are lower than the ones for option A. OPTION C: Claim the unpaid rent and utility bills only.
In this option, you are only claiming for the unpaid rent and bills, although you would still be entitled to evict the tenant. In this case, legal fees would be lower than in option A but could be higher than in option B. The fees for option C would depend on the amount you were claiming. Once you have decided to claim against the tenant, the following documentation would be very useful for you as evidence in a lawsuit: -The title deeds for the property or a search note from the Land Registry office in order to prove you are the property owner. -The rental contract signed with the tenant. - Receipts and invoices for the unpaid rent and utility bills. If you have paid some of the utility bills during the rental contract, a bank statement from your account showing those payments would also be advisable. - The burofax sent to the tenant.

TECH FOR THE TIMID CAN it be true that the jostling passenger who stole my phone on the packed 916 bus in Rome last month really was a Catholic priest? Of course I ignored all the warnings about pick-pocketing in Rome. Couldn’t happen to me. Though it’s unlikely to have been my priestly neighbour, I would have felt less humiliated if my phone had indeed transitioned that smoothly from my zipped pocket into the folds of a cassock as we both headed for the Vatican and redemption. Almost half of all thefts reported now are smartphones, routed virtually anywhere in the world within days by well-oiled syndicates. If you’re insured you’re in for a challenging round of musical chairs at a Local Police station to file the required report. Harbour no illusions: they almost certainly won’t look for it. But replacing the actual device is not the main issue. Indeed it’s an opportunity to buy a shiny new gadget even if it does mean living on bread and

PHONE FILCHING: Fifty per cent of all thefts. water for the next month. Nor is it mainly about one thing many people forget: that if you don’t block a lost phone immediately, the bad guys have a nasty little wheeze of using it to call premium numbers back in Desolatistan at €20+ a minute on your account, ka-ching.
Nope, it’s all the confidential stuff we keep on our phones these days which hurts. Banking apps, online shopping apps, vulnerable information of every hue and cry and all those access codes. Tackle the damage limitation and you quickly learn just how many websites simply aren’t
geared up for your scenario. ‘Register a new phone to your account? No problem, for security reasons first send us confirmation from your old one.’ Ummm…. And of course there are lessons to be learned. If only I had set up the wonderful ‘find my phone’ facility which both Apple and Android devices offer - before it got stolen. If only I had kept a separate note of all my online banking and other confidential information so that I would know who to call and what to say in the event of. If only… But look on the bright side. A third of the users in a recent US study said they would pay a thousand dollars to get their phone back. I’m not one of those people. I would have loved to see the look of disgust when my thief realised he’d stolen a six-year old dinosaur of a phone. Heck, given time to first extract my information, I’d actually have paid him to take it.

Steal away AS the FBI keeps discovering, current phone security erects a daunting fortress wall around your device. If you enable it. Short of the rather uncomfortable option of cutting off your finger, thieves find a fingerprint-protected phone a nightmare to crack. Ditto a good password, and that doesn’t mean 123456. At the very least, when you get a new phone install a security app or suite which lets you wipe your phone remotely in a worst-case scenario. Phone-tracking apps can certainly work. But if your phone is stolen, not just lost, consider very carefully what you would do if a tracker does indeed find it - in the middle of a mafia stronghold or a neighbourhood where even the shadows won’t go. Good luck finding a SWAT team.

Border disorder: The Irish border Nora Johnson Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
WHAT BORDER?: There is presently no infrastructure between the two jurisdictions on the island. At the moment I’d put my money on a fudge around option 2. However, things still remain uncertain - many feel the EU’s acting like a playground bully and it’s time we stood up to it. And the trouble with fudge is that it’s only sweet on first tasting. What lasts is the stickiness on the fingers and the cloying heaviness in the digestion. Incidentally, I have a recurrent childlike nightmare about missing my bus home from school. In psychobabble terms, I know what this relates to: fear of missing my imminent crime novel publishing deadline. I wonder if Theresa May also suffers from nightmares about missing a deadline (or two)? Oh, and what are you listening to on Spotify? Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available from Amazon in paperback/eBook (€0.99;£0.99) and iBookstore.

I tell them what I think Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I BELONG to a few loyalty programmes for hotels I stay at, airlines I use, car hire I also use - eBay and Pay Pal. You get the idea . No w I ’ v e t o ld th e m all th a t although I live in Spain I do not read Spanish, so could they please send all information to me in English. Not one of them is able to do it. You would think, in this day and age, it would be the simplest thing to do. Vodafone is one of the biggest communication companies in the world yet they are not capable of sending me anything in English. I wonder how many English customers they have in Spain? It’s ok if I call them as I always manage to get an English-speaking operator but once you need to maybe speak to someone past them you hit a brick wall. You then have to have an operator translating for you. W h a t ’s wr o n g w ith p eo p le ? O ld , young, all ages but I have to admit mostly 30-40ish. It’s called ‘door etiquette.’ Here are the rules - when a door opens
LEGALLY SPEAKING Do they pay wealth tax? My wife and I reside in the UK and have had a holiday home in Spain for 14 years. Our income is taxed in the UK. We pay the Suma Property Tax, the supposed Property Rental Tax, and the Waste Collection Tax. Our friends say we should also pay Wealth Tax on the property, as they all do. We have never received a request to pay the tax. Should we pay Wealth Tax or not? TJC (Costa Blanca)
Breaking Views
THE Bank of England’s chief economist says it’s possible to detect the mood of a country from the music it’s listening to on Spotify. What should we be listening to at the moment, then? Billie Holiday singing Gloomy Sunday, aka the Hungarian Suicide song? The ongoing Irish border problem, that I wrote about here recently, doesn’t help. Long story short, the UK doesn’t want a trade deal that aligns the UK and the EU both for customs and single market rules, but neither does it want any infrastructure along the Irish border. This is a contradictory position which the UK still hasn’t been able to resolve. Basically, there are only three possible solutions. 1) The UK remains in the single market and enters into a customs union with the EU. 2) The transition period is extended indefinitely. 3) There’s no withdrawal agreement, no transition period and no trade deal. The City seems to be betting on BINO (Brexit In Name Only). Only problem is, there’s no ‘half-in, half-out’ option. As long as the UK doesn’t fully accept free movement we’re no longer eligible for membership of the single market. The same goes for the customs union: there’s no half-way house. We’re fully in or fully out. Since the government wants the freedom not to apply the common external tariff, we’d be fully out.

you let the people out first before you go in. It can be particularly difficult if you are in a crowded lift and you are not by the doors. The doors open - you utter a couple of excuse me’s and off you go but no, someone always tries to get in. And another thing, when the lift is full, it’s full. Wait for the next one. Don’t try and squash yourself in. This also applies to trains. I had the misfortune to use one in the UK for the first time in probably 30 years. It’s a joke. The doors open and it’s bedlam and people just keep getting on and I was trying to get off. I try not to take my wheelchair with me on these outings because technically I get to sit in one of the allotted seats for disabled but it is just all too difficult so next time I’ll take it but, to be honest, that can be a nightmare on its own. I take my wheelchair to the UK when I go and I have the same problem getting the courtesy bus to the car hire centre. Every time I’m struggling to get off with my wheelchair and case and people are pushing past me to get on and they do not bat an eyelid except of course until I tell them what I think of them!

If you pay your Spanish taxes through Suma, you live in the Valencian Autonomous Region. Suma is their tax collection agency. In Valencia, the first €600,000 of value is exempt from Wealth Tax. Until 2015 this exemption did not apply to non-residents and that is why your friends had to pay it from the first euro of valuation. Now the exemption applies to non-residents.

Being at odds with someone close has given you pause for thought. This would be a good time to change the situation for the better. Offering the olive branch is your best approach, but be sure that you are sincere. Sometimes, you are a book easily read.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Such a time of expansion comes rarely, but now you are being handed opportunities. Be sure to make the most of them by being organised enough to take full advantage. With your energy high, you are in a position to steam ahead with plans. Should others feel left out you can find a place for them.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) A strong romantic flow to your week could be interrupted. This is because there are some business matters that really do need your attention. Although it is not a particularly good time to make firm financial commitments, there are areas to work on. These are mainly associated with saving money and reorganising.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Having had such a busy time recently you may be craving a quiet period. I am afraid this will have to wait at the moment. Small snatches at tranquillity are possible but the pressure is still on.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This really is a week to get to grips with any healthy eating or exercise regimes. Owing to the influence of Mars, you are in a vigorous and determined mood. You find that your added confidence and healthy glow are attractive to the opposite sex.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Have you been too busy to spend time on yourself? Get your looks and health back on track by using this week to good effect. Revamp your diet and exercise as required. Spend time with people who are supportive and share the same interests.

A meeting involving business with a senior person brings great benefits. You are wrong to be afraid of asking for what you want because it is necessary. Do not bottle things up.

Some difficulty in your love life will need to be handled carefully. Unforeseen develop-ments could take you by surprise (especially if you haven't read this in time). Your need is to avoid telling white lies to get out of a situation. Given time, most situations in this category will ease.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) All may not be what it seems this week and you need to be a little more realistic. This is particularly true when it comes to romance and close ties. Having the wool pulled over your eyes is not desirable and could even see you trip up. A different kind of trip, possibly over a long distance, may bring you face to face with an old friend or relative.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Meetings and travel dominate this week. Being with those who stimulate and inform will be even more worthwhile than usual. A trip that you are not looking forward to can bring added bonuses. Looking to further education at this time, could see you starting a course.

Impressed by the kindness of Mojacar I WOULD like to say how impressed I was with the kindness of two Spanish people and the Local Police who helped an elderly Scottish couple. They had left the lady’s bag containing their documents, passports, money etc on a bus from Las Roquetas, which they got off in Mojacar The bus had continued its journey stopping at Vera en route to its final destination in Murcia. The two Spanish people, a lady and gentleman who were not connected to each other helped to reassure and calm the elderly lady who was quite distraught. They tried to contact the bus company and when this was not successful they then contacted the Local Police, who came and spoke to the elderly couple taking details of the bus and where they were seated. Officers then arranged with their colleagues in Vera to collect the bag off the bus when it stopped there. The happy ending was the very relieved Scottish couple were united with their bag and its contents at the Local Police Station in Vera. They then returned to Mojacar to enjoy the rest of their day. Very well done all concerned. Barry Tynan, Mojacar

Yup the race card again, but police should fingerprint them, are they legally in the country paying taxes etc? Spain needs to be like America or Australia only in to work via a visa if they have money to support themselves and medical insurance. Marie Ross Main
Most appalling service from this mob, I agree some will moan but continue to use, I just don’t use them. They specialise in taking more off you when you can’t do much about it. Robert Jake Wilson
So it’s not OK to protest against those who rob and attack people? I wonder how many of the sex workers have been arrested or is prostitution legal in Spain? Annie

Health board warns of cockroach plague I use bay leafs in my cupboards and around my

They crawl in and because of the oil can’t get out!!! Not usually so cruel but I can’t deal with cockroaches. Kim Foster Yuk, my pet hate. I had them in a rental in Mojacar in winter!!! Had to buy all sorts of stuff to get rid of them, they came up the old drains and lived in the downstairs loo. Sian Foster

IT has been both frustrating and heartbreaking dealing with nasty people. We have cried so many tears and felt so much anger. I would like to know what so many people in Salou have against defenceless cats. We have never witnessed such hostility and cruelty in one place. My husband and I feed stray homeless cats every day. These cats are innocent and beautiful. They ask for so little. A bit of food, a little affection. What does it cost to be kind? There have been kittens that were poisoned and left to suffer and die and there have been teenagers who go and terrify cats just for fun. What has become of a society that brings up children with no conscience? Thank God there are people out there that care. SOS Gatos is one such organisation. We strongly encourage you to support them. It takes so little to make such a big difference in these little angels’ lives. When we lose our ability for compassion we lose our humanity. Paul & Lorna DeCouto, Salou
Brexit Bible I READ with interest Colin MacGregor’s letter where he states that his reason for moving from the UK to Spain was because the former follows EU rules whereas the latter ignores them. It reminded me of a conversation with an elderly English visitor to the Costa del Sol who was amazed to see orange trees full of fruit growing in the streets. He wondered how the Spanish got away with it, because in England the EU had made a village cut down all its apple trees as they deemed falling fruit to be a danger to life. He knew this was true because he had read it in his Brexit Bible... the Daily Mail. This one is so ridiculous it doesn’t even make the Euromyths Debunked list (mostly quotes by the Sun, Mail and Boris Johnson). The aforementioned tabloids are virtually the only ones on sale here and so are the daily diet of ‘expats,’ a large proportion of whom soak up their propaganda agenda and would have voted ‘Leave.’ However, in contrast to Colin, I would prefer to believe the Euro Weekly News statistics that the majority voted ‘Remain,’ as surely they would have been aware of the staggering irony/ hypocrisy of voting for the UK to leave the EU when they themselves are reaping the benefit of freedom of movement.

Advertising Feature MEDICAL diagnostics has advanced tremendously in the past decades. It may not be obvious judging from what orthodox medicine has to offer. The reality is that conventional medical tests and scans such as blood tests, X-rays, CT-scans etc are more or less outdated. They are invasive, risky, inaccurate and limited in the level of detail they can reveal. Another shortcoming of conventional medical diagnosis is that they only examine areas of the body related to the presenting symptom, rather than the whole body. The reality is that the entire body requires a thorough examination to determine the exact cause of an illness. The advanced diagnostic technology of today examines the whole body in accurate detail to determine a person’s state of health. In one go, it is possible to examine all organs and systems in the body, check for the presence of viruses, bacteria and fungus, perform food allergy tests,
When a health scan discovers and predicts diseases as well as many other checks to determine the likely diseases occurring and their causes. Such comprehensive analysis of the body is carried out by reading and analysing electromagnetic frequencies that emanate from the human body. As far back as the 1920’s, the prominent scientist Niels Bohr (regarded as the father of quantum physics), discovered that every cell or tissue in the body generates unique and measurable frequencies. He determined that these frequencies or vibrations will change depending on the state of health of the cells and organs. Healthy cells and organs have a different frequency or vibration from diseased organs. Even more importantly, he postulated that these vibrations would

change long before symptoms of diseases start to occur in the body. Since then many studies have confirmed his theory. The leading technology in this field of advanced medical diagnostics is called Sensitiv Imago. Sensitiv Imago was first used in the 1980’s for Russian astronauts. Since then it has transformed into the most advanced medical diagnostic technology of our time. Unlike other scans such as CT-scans that emit deadly Xrays, Sensitiv Imago is completely safe, non-invasive and has an accuracy of 96 per cent. The computerised scan is performed in a comfortable reclining chair while information from the body is recorded with the help of a headset, an optical scanner and handheld elec-
trodes. The scan takes 45 minutes to analyse over 180 different areas of the body and generate a detailed medical report. The report from the scan not only shows the actual diseases present but most importantly the cause of the disease. When the cause of a disease is determined, it becomes possible to heal the body, rather than treating symptoms which provide short term relief while the condition worsens. MedB, a registered health clinic in Costa Blanca has used Sensitiv Imago since 2012 for advanced medical diagnostics and has provided excellent healthcare to thousands of satisfied patients from all over the world. To book an advanced wholebody scan with Sensitiv Imago call MedB clinic on 965 071 745 or 966 189 074. Or visit the website www.medb.es.

IF you’re in Spain on holiday, or perhaps heading away, then you might be wondering what precautions you can take to avoid an upset stomach. The nasties that can cause such trouble are hiding in contaminated food such as raw or undercooked meat, eggs, fresh produce, dairy products, and water. Because of this, it’s generally advised not to drink tap water. Remember too that the sauces available with your food in certain restaurants may have been watered down using tap water. Ensure everything you eat is hot and has been cooked at the right temperature. This will ensure that there is no bacteria present. Try to avoid salads or food that has been sitting outside and also try to avoid uncooked seafood as this is a common culprit in many developed countries, including Spain. Look around and take note of where the locals eat. You can rest assured that a business that constantly attracts the locals has food which is worth returning for. And before you eat, always wash your hands with hot water and soap. This is another effective way of preventing sickness on holiday. If you eat fruit, avoid eating the skin of the fruit. It’s best to eat fruit which has a peelable skin, such as bananas. If you do get food poisoning, you will know. The main symptoms of food poisoning are diarrhoea and vomiting, which may be accompanied by fevers and shivers. In addition to this, food poisoning can cause you to have stomach ache, fatigue, headaches and muscle aches. If you experience any of these, drink as much (non-alcoholic!) fluid as possible.
HEALTH & BEAUTY SUCH news might not even bat an eyelid in Asia, but news has emerged that you might actually have been eating insects your whole life. It appears that one of the most widely used food colourings used to create pink, orange, purple and red is actually made from squashed bugs. The insects are called cochineal, are native to Latin America, and they live on cacti. They are mostly farmed in Peru where millions are pro-cessed every year to produce the colouring. According to the Peruvian Embassy to the UK, the country has a 95 per cent share of the international market. These days, carmine is added to an endless number of food items including juices, ice creams, yoghurts and sweets. In fact, many UK products such as Mr Kipling cakes and Bachelor soups use carmine. However, given the increasing number of people who are choosing to go vegan or be ethical consumers, companies are having to respond and adapt to evolving consumer habits. One such company is Starbucks which has stopped using carmine. Yet, if you want to make the choice to avoid these insects in your

And they have continued to be proudly worn by strapping athletes around the world for decades. However, it seems the average Brit is not quite so ready to fit the mould and would rather prefer to leave a little something to the imagination. In the recent YouGov survey, almost seven out of 10 Brits said they disliked the trunks, with more women than men against them, at 74 per cent.
Yet, these opinions aren’t held across the whole of Europe. In Spain, Speedos continue to be hugely popular and in France it’s even obligatory for men to wear the tight trunks in most public pools. TIGHT FIT: Some men love the extra support that budgie smugglers provide.

Staying safe in the sun WITH temperatures really beginning to rise now is the time to take some advice about how to protect yourself from unwanted sunburn and decrease your chances of developing skin cancer in the future. When you’re out and about wear protective clothing. It may be hot, but there’s no reason not to don a pair of linen pants, a long sleeved silk shirt or a straw hat. The great thing about hats, apart from being a fabulous fashion accessory, is that their wide brims will cover your face as well as your ears and scalp. And don’t leave home without your sunglasses. These will protect your eyes from the UV rays which can cause eye problems. Always buy sunglasses that blocks as close to 100 per cent as possible of UVB and UVA rays. If you can, restrict your time outside in the sun, particular around the hours of midday. If you are out during these hours make use of any shade offered. Don’t forget to put sunscreen on before your leave the house and reapply it as necessary during the day. Cover every part of your body which will be exposed to the sun. Taking these few steps can help to reduce your chances of developing skin cancer and lessen premature signs of ageing. HOT IN THE SUN: Wearing a hat and shades will offer you extra protection.

London Fashion Week FILL UP: A full English breakfast is just what the doctor ordered after all.
Out of sync YOUR body clock may have synchronised with the eating habits in Spain, but scientists are now questioning if late evening meals are actually stopping us from shedding those extra pounds. Instead, recommendations might be made that we should be shifting our mealtimes to earlier in the day. Scientists researching this connection between eating and our body clocks are trying to establish the eating times which are more beneficial for us and our health. The connection between the two has become known as ‘chrono-nutrition.’ This research will also look at how our internal rhythms are affected by our eating habits. It is understood that in each 24-hour
cycle our body has optimum times when we should be doing things, including eating. And so far the research suggests that the late meal enjoyed by virtually everyone in Spain is, metabolically speaking, not the right thing to do. Although it isn’t entirely understood why, results indicate that our bodies don’t process food in the evening as well as they do in the morning. Fully understanding this link could have big implications in allowing us to tackle the obesity problem in both the UK and Spain, among many other countries. In fact, perhaps the full English breakfast first thing in the morning is actually much better for you than a platter of Spanish tapas followed by paella last thing at night!

Ideal for a dinner party
by Andrew Harding THIS week my recipe is Chicken Milanese. It is a little fiddly to make but well worth the effort and is ideal for a dinner party as all the preparation can be carried out beforehand, leaving time to entertain your guests. Personally, I like this dish served with broccoli steamed in the microwave and pasta spirals, but roasted gnocchi will also work well. Chicken Milanese Serves 6 6 whole chicken breasts, no skin, no bone flattened 3 tablespoons plain white flour, 3 whole eggs, beaten 3 teaspoons garlic puree 300g bread crumbs 6 tablespoons olive oil For the sauce 3 cans tomatoes, coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons olive oil

FIDDLY BUT WORTH IT: Chicken Milanese. 6 whole garlic cloves, skinned & chopped 1 large red pepper seeded and chopped I bunch of fresh basil 1 teaspoon of celery salt 2 chicken stock cubes crumbled To finish Juice from two whole lemons 200g buffalo mozzarella cheese Salt and pepper, to taste 1) Cut the gristly bits off the chicken and flatten. Pre-heat fan oven to 200°C, or in a conventional oven at 220°C. 2) Take three shallow bowls, put the flour
Tip: Use kitchen scissors for trimming chicken, it is a lot easier than using a knife and less hazardous. Tip: Flatten the chicken breasts with an empty or unopened bottle of wine to avoid the risk of contaminating a wooden rolling pin with salmonella bacteria. Likewise use polythene chopping boards.
in the first, the beaten egg in the second add the garlic puree and stir until completely mixed, add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl. 3) Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour until they are fully coated, then likewise in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. 4) Put the olive oil into a baking tin or dish and make sure the chicken breasts are completely coated in the olive oil. 5) Bake for 20-30 minutes until they are completely cooked. 6) Make the sauce, by frying the garlic in olive oil until it is transparent on a medium heat. 7) Add the chopped tomatoes, red pepper, basil, celery salt, and chicken stock. 8) Blend and heat through in a saucepan, add the lemon juice and put to one side. 9) Slice the buffalo mozzarella and place on top of the cooked chicken breasts, put back in the oven and allow the cheese to melt. 10) Place the chicken breasts on plates with the sauce to one side and serve.
Tip: To make sure chicken (or pork) is properly cooked, tap it with the back of a metal spoon, if the resulting sound is soft, the meat will be, if it sounds like tapping wood it is cooked through. Hint: Place as many of the breasts as possible in each bowl to coat them rather than multi- coating each breast one at a time.

A €4.5 million mill mansion A WINEMAKER husband and his actress wife have turned a centuries-old water mill into a luxury five-bedroom mansion. Max Hernandez, a former entrepreneur, and his wife, retired screen star Silvia Hernandez, were motivated by a desire to be near Madrid but not part of the bustle. The couple have turned the mill, which used to grind grain, into a 6,200 square foot mansion with nearly seven lush acres, with a pool, custom greenhouse, garden and a private forest. An additional guesthouse, fashioned out of a wood shed, has a bedroom, bathroom and even a gym.

When the couple bought the former mill in 1999 for €400,000, the previous owner had already converted it into a single family home, but it looked nothing like its current grandiose splendour. They purchased more land surrounding the property and spent a further €1.3 million on gutting the house, adding new heating, windows, floors and an outdoor pool.“We only kept the walls and the roof,” said Max, who completed the home in spring 2001. They also have an eclectic taste in vintage furniture, ranging from Belgian art deco to South African art deco to Spanish mid-century modern. In keeping with their successful exploits so far, the couple plan to construct a 12,000 square foot mansion in t h e f o o t h i l l s o f Va l e n c i a , o u t o f a derelict multi-family farmhouse.

Investors turn to student digs REAL ESTATE investors are turning to Spain’s burgeoning student accommodation sector in these demand-heavy times. Spain has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people going to university, and given a marked rise in the population of the demographic, the development of purpose-built accommodation is booming. So far however, the number of developments has not been enough to cover the shortfall, with students (as many as 380,000) unable to secure a place at a student residence. Nick Wride, Head of Living and Alternatives at Jones Lang
La Salle, said: “In mature student housing markets like the UK and Germany, returns are being squeezed, whereas Spain offers very good student-to-bed ratios and attractive yields.”
Up until 18 months ago the focus was on Madrid and Barcelona, but investors are now looking towards undersupplied regional cities such as Valencia, Granada, Malaga, Pamplona and Salamanca.

MIMICKING nature’s valuable lessons to protect the garden ecology. If you look at the way nature grows her gardens, you will see that all good soil zones have a complete coverage of the soil with plants. Any area of good soil that has sunlight and some moisture will have plants growing with a complete ground cover. It is natural that the soil is completely covered with plants, plant debris or stones. In ornamental and vegetable gardens we often design the garden to have big gaps between the plants we are trying to grow that has just bare soil in between. This is quite contrary to nature’s way. Bare spaces give a satisfaction of us being in control of the garden to do just what we want but it also means that we have a lot of weeding or cultivating to do to keep the soil bare as nature struggles to protect the soil with new plant cover or weeds, which is what we usually call unwanted plants. With the long, hot Mediterranean summer, the consequence of the unnaturally bare soil exposed directly to the sun is overheating of

Ground covers
NATURE’S WAY: Ground cover plants and mulch will protect your soil. the soil that destroys, at the surface, the living organisms that maintain a living soil. This overheating in summer and extreme cold exposure in winter on bare soil results in depletion of nutrients. Nitrogen evaporates in high temperatures and the lack of microbial activity to decompose any organic material in the soil will mean little nutrient renewal
through natural processes. The short term result can be improved nutrient release as the orga nic mic roorga nis ms die , but long term the soil will become just a mineral soil with little organic content.

Ground cover can be a mulch of organic materials such as compost, straw, leaves, chipped wood or even inorganic stones laid on the surface of the soil to protect it.
An even better way however is to design the garden to incorporate ground cover plants that will grow and spread out over the soil to protect it and naturally supply additional plant debris to the soil. A well chosen ground cover will spread out over the soil to insulate, suppress many weeds, preserve moisture and add more life and colour to a garden. In small gardens that will fill up every inch or centimetre of the garden around their taller companions. A tree can be highlighted by being surrounded by a flowering or lush green ground cover. Shrub bed bushes can be tied in wonderfully with a well selected ground cover planting. There are so many different plants that can be used as ground cover. Any trailing or spreading plant that does not grow upright but tends to grow horizontally can be used. Creeping or spreading succulents make excellent ground covers where watering is kept to a minimum. It is best to use ground covers with similar watering and soil needs to their companions in the garden. This is how nature makes her gardens.
Buckingham Palace TODAY, war pensioners and service personnel will have the privileged opportunity to enjoy the gardens at Buckingham Palace as they celebrate their ‘Not Forgotten Association Garden Party.’
This annual event brings together more than 2,000 beneficiaries who will be able to take some inspiration, and perhaps even a naughty cutting, from the flowers and plants that fill the royal gardens.
PERMACULTURE EDUCATION SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Telephone: 666 33 33 35 info@permamed.org http://permamed.org/
The royal garden itself is a 40-acre walled oasis and the largest private garden in the city of London. The central feature is a three-acre lake, but attendees will also be able to marvel at the 156-metre long herbaceous border, the wisteria-clad summerhouse, the rose garden, and a 4.5-metre high waterloo vase carved from a single piece of marble weighing an estimated 20 tons. Although the queen has admitted that she’s not an expert gardener, she has said that plants, trees and flowers have been a source of pleasure for her throughout her life. Some of her favourite flowers can be found throughout the gardens. In particular, the queen has revealed that her favourite flower is the primrose, and she is also partially fond of wildflowers. If you’d like to enjoy the royal gardens then you can do so. Access to the gardens is included in the Buckingham Palace tours.

Saying goodbye port you. Consider not only what is best for your dog, but also what is best for you and your family. Quality of life is important for pets and people alike. If your dog can no longer enjoy the things which once gave it pleasure, or if there is more pain than quality in its life, if your dog is terminally ill or critically injured, or if the financial or emotional cost of treatment is beyond your means, euthanasia may be the only option.
It also might be necessary if a dog has become vicious, dangerous, or unmanageable, but remember some undesirable and abnormal behaviour can be changed with a qualified behaviourist. Economic and emotional problems together with changes in lifestyle may also force an owner to consider euthanasia of a dog. Obviously it is better to find another solution or an alternative home for these pets. Your vet understands attachment to pets and can examine and evaluate your dog’s condition, estimate your dog’s chances for recovery, discuss potential disabilities and longterm problems, explain the medical options and possible outcomes. But he cannot make the euthanasia decision for you. It is very important that you fully understand your dog’s condition. If there is any part of the diagnosis or the implications for your dog’s future that
you don’t understand, ask to have it explained again. Rarely will the situation require an immediate decision. Usually, there will be time to review the facts. Eventually you may wish to discuss the disposal of your dog’s body with your family and vet. You have several options and your vet can provide information about burial, cremation or other alternatives. Discuss with the family what the vet has said. Long-term medical care could be a burden, either emotionally or financially. Encourage family members to express their thoughts and feelings. Even if you have reached a decision, family members, especially children, should have their feelings considered. Children have special relationships with their pets. Excluding or protecting children from this decision-making process, because they are thought to be too young to un-
derstand, may only complicate their grieving. Children respect straightforward, truthful, and simple answers. If they are prepared adequately, they are usually able to accept a dog’s death. Euthanasia is almost always accomplished by injection of a death-inducing drug. Your vet may administer a tranquilliser first to relax your dog. Following the death-inducing injection, your dog will immediately go into a quiet and irreversible deep unconsciousness. Death will be quick and painless. The act of saying goodbye is an important step in managing the natural and healthy feelings of grief, sorrow, and sense of loss. Your dog is an important part of your life and it is natural to feel you are losing a friend. Once the decision for euthanasia has been made, you and other family members may want to say goodbye to your dog.

MOTORING FACT A 1965 JAGUAR E-type raced by Sir Stirling Moss is shortly to be auctioned, and is expected to sell for between €125,000 and €150,000. Although Moss started his career as a Jaguar works driv e r, w i t h s u c c e s s e s i n XK120s and C-types, he never competed in an E-type during its heyday. The car being auctioned started life as a standard E-type Roadster and was converted to a road-legal racer by marque specialist Jeremy Broad in the 1980’s. It was loaned to Sir Stirling Moss in 1991 to compete in the Manx Mountain Challenge, in the process becoming the first E-type that Moss drove competitively.

car at RAC Woodcote Park near Epsom, Surrey, says the car features many original components, including an aluminium bonnet fabricated by Abbey Panels. It also has a 4.2 litre version of the classic Jaguar XK straight-six engine, which powered the Coventry cars from 1949 to 1992, driving through a five-speed Getrag gearbox. The car was later raced by Le Mans and touring car legend Win Percy, who qualified third in the special 40th anniversary race for Etypes at Donington Park in 2001. Among the 54 other lots in the H&H sale is a modern recreation of the famed 1973 BMW CSL touring car racer, nicknamed the Batmobile due to its outrageous wings and bulbous bodywork.

THE Mazda MX-5 RF is a head-turning version of its soft-top stable-mate, offering a powered hardtop instead of the usual fabric roof and providing better security and more refinement. The RF certainly attracts attention with its supercar-style buttress rear fins and most people who asked me about it thought it cost far more than it actually does! Mazda designers deserve much praise for such arresting styling - and ununusally, the folding roof doesn’t reduce the available boot space which at 130 litres was small anyway. Other than the hardtop feature, the RF is essentially the same as the standard MX-5, which in almost 30 years of production has become the two-seater sports car icon. The RF is priced from €25,643 (£22,496) in 131 hp 1.5 litre form though the version I tested had the 2.0 litre 158 hp engine and in entrylevel SEL Nav trim is priced at €27,126 (£23,795).

cosy fit, with minimal stowage space - no door pockets, no glove-box, just a small lockable compartment behind the seats. But none of this matters much as the car attracts carefree buyers who will fling a small hold-all into the boot and zoom off for a fun weekend in the countryside or on the coast. Mazda has upgraded the cabin materials and together
HEAD-TURNING: The new Mazda offers a powered hardtop to provide security and refinement. with the new styling, the RF has more kudos and a more up-market appearance. Underway, it is quick and nimble and with the roof closed, more quiet and refined. Handling is assured, ride quality decent by sports car standards. Overall the RF provides fun driving with an engaging panache which some of its more expensive rivals may find hard to match.
Driverless cars will kill says official A FORMER highways agency chief who served under Barack Obama has said it is inevitable that driverless cars will kill people on the road. Dr Mark Rosekind, the former US highway traffic safety administrator warned ‘there will be some lives lost’ as tech companies and car manufacturers experiment with autonomous vehicles. However, he insisted that their introduction will eventually lead to much safer streets in the future.

Discussing the future of transport on BBC Radio 4, he said: “Unfortunately there will be crashes. People are going to get hurt and there will be some lives lost.” Despite this, he added that businesses and regulators, “should really be focused on the potential for zero deaths on our roadways.” The technology industry is locked in a debate surrounding the ethics of releasing autonomous systems ‘into the wild.’

Hamilton could quit F1 in 2020

LEWIS HAMILTON could sensationally quit Formula 1 in 2020, according to commentator and former F1 driver, David Coulthard. Hamilton’s current contract expires at the end of the year but soon he is expected to pen a lucrative two-year extension. That would take him to the end of the 2020 season, which will align with when Liberty Media are planning to make vast changes to the sport in a bid to make it more competitive. Coulthard thinks Hamilton, who would be 35 years old then, could call time on his racing career to focus on releasing his first music album. “I think it’s got to be on his mind,” Coulthard said on BBC Radio 2’s Graham Norton Show on Saturday. “I think he’ll go to 2020 which is the end of the current Concorde agreement, but beyond that
there is every likelihood he will be releasing his first album.” Hamilton is currently leading the Driver’s Championship this season as he searches for his fifth world title. Asked who he felt may be in line to take Hamilton’s place at Mercedes, Coulthard suggested reigning GP3 champion George Russell. “He’s with Mercedes as a reserve driver, so he wouldn’t be known internationally,” Coulthard said. “But he’s certainly someone that has got skills, talent and potential.”

DENMARK’S Thorbjorn Olesen won a fifth European Tour title with a one-shot victory at the Italian Open in Brescia. The 28-year-old world number 129 began the final day one shot off the lead but carded seven birdies in a bogey-free 64 to finish on 22 under. Italian Francesco Molinari, winner last week at the PGA at Wentworth, started the round level with Olesen and birdied the last for a 65 to finish second. Overnight leader Lee Slattery was third after a closing 67, and his caddie had to retire on the back nine through injury. Molinari, twice an Italian Open champion, made four successive birdies from the 13th hole and was tied for the lead before hitting a bunker on the 17th and dropping a shot. However, he holed a huge 30-foot putt up the hill on the final green for birdie to huge cheers from the gallery, setting a target of 21 under. Olesen, runner up in 2011,

ENGLAND’S cricket team stormed to victory over Pakistan by an innings and 55 runs to win the second test and draw the series 1-1. The result ends a dismal run of eight Tests without a win for Joe Root’s side.
HOLED OUT: Thorbjorn Olesen held his nerve to take the title.
Olesen’s swings to victory put his second shot on the 18th in a greenside bunker, but calmly holed from seven feet for par to take the title. “I’ve never had that final putt to win,” said Olesen. “That’s why this one feels so amazing.” Former world number one Lee Westwood produced the
joint lowest round of the day with six birdies and an eagle in a 63 to take a share of fifth with Graeme McDowell and Andy Sullivan. Veteran Miguel Angel Jimenez, the colourful 54year-old Spaniard, also carded a 63, compiling nine birdies to earn a share of 14th.
