Recognition push Spain floats EU Palestine acceptance By Joe Gerrard THE Spanish Foreign Minister has said his country could put forward a motion in the European Parliament that would commit the European Union (EU) to recognise an independent Palestine. Josep Borrell added the Spanish government would still consider recognising the Middle Eastern territory if the bloc refused to back the proposal. It comes as left-wing parties in Spain, some of which back the Partido Socialista (PSOE) minority government, have reportedly begun pressuring senior officials to support full Palestinian statehood. Opponents are concerned Israel could recognise an independent Cataluña in retaliation if Spain goes ahead with the plan. Borrell said he planned to

launch an “intensive” consultation process with his opposite numbers in EU member states with the view to securing a timetable for the initiative. “The issue is on the table. It is a momentous decision, the consequences and effects of which must be studied. These are being

analysed,” the minister said. The EU currently officially backs a two state solution to the Palestinian question which would see an independent Palestine co-exist alongside Israel. Borrell’s comments were welcomed by Palestinian authorities who said the move would help bring peace to the territory. “The determination of Spain to recognise the Palestinian state and statements from their Foreign Minister represent direct steps towards peace, the end of Israeli occupation and stability in the Middle East,” the authority said. Ahmed Abulgueit, Secretary General of the Arab League, said Spain should recognise Palestinian statehood even if the EU does not back the move. Angel Mas, the head of the Spain-based pro-Israeli Action and Communication on the Mid-

dle East (ACOM), said there was a “real possibility” Tel Aviv may recognise Cataluña’s independence in response. Emmanuel Nahshon, Israel’s Foreign Minister, said he did not comment on “speculation” when asked about the proposal. Palestine is recognised by 136 United Nations member states but many such as Spain, Britain and the United States do not.

Palestinian statehood is seen as a sensitive issue as much of the territory it claims is now administered and settled by Israel. The UN has branded Israel’s presence an “occupation” which they dispute.

Murder and suicide A MAN allegedly killed his two daughters in Castellon on Tuesday, before committing suicide according to police sources. The children were aged six and three, and the father was in the process of being divorced from his wife and no longer lived with them. The incident happened on Calle de Rio Adra and emergency services found the girls dead at the scene.

Police officers found the door to the girl’s bedroom locked but with no response coming from inside. When firefighters broke it down they found that the girls had been stabbed to death. A passer-by had raised the alarm when he saw the father throw himself out of the bedroom window. Health professionals have transferred the mother, aged 42, and the grandmother, 75, to a hospital for psychological care.

Tragic death of boy AN 11-year-old boy died on Sunday in Valencia after accidentally colliding with a glass door and cutting his stomach. The boy was playing with his 10-year-old brother while their mother was parking her car and the father was out buying takeaway food near their home. They were only absent for a few minutes but when the glass shattered several shards of it lodged deeply into the boy’s abdomen and he began to bleed heavily.

Although the National Police are investigating the incident, all the evidence points to a tragic accident. The boy’s brother only suffered superficial wounds to his arm and he went to alert his father immediately. Two police officers arrived and tried to stem the wound while trying to resuscitate the boy. He was then transferred to the University Hospital of La Fe of Valencia, but surgeons were unable to save him.

FOREIGN VISIT: Sanchez (centre, left) met with Trudeau (left) in Montreal.

PM’s Canada trip SPAIN’S Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez travelled to Canada last weekend for meetings with his counterpart Justin Trudeau who said his country backed a ‘united’ Spain when asked about Catalan independence. Sanchez’s visit was the first time a Spanish Prime Minister had visited Canada since 2002. The two leaders inspected a guard of honour, held a series of meetings and spoke to the press and public. Trudeau said during a joint press conference he had confidence in Spain’s government and people being able to find a solution to the ongoing drive for Cataluña’s secession. He was responding to a question on whether Catalans should be able to vote in a legal independence referendum as people in Quebec had done in 1980 and 1995. “Obviously I recognise this is a delicate internal matter and I have confidence in the Spanish people and all different governments to move forward with a way that is respectful of freedom of expression and of the values of human rights, the rule of law and the Spanish constitution,” Trudeau said. Sanchez said on Twitter the Spanish and Canadian governments both shared progressive

goals on human rights and climate change. “We will design ways for our countries to work more closely together to build economies that work for everyone and advance gender equality,” he said. The two leaders held a series of talks in Montreal. They approved a ‘Canada-Spain Co-operation Agenda’ which laid out plans to work together on a host of issues to achieve ‘a safer, more peaceful world.’ Both leaders also took part in Canada 2020’s Global Progress summit where they discussed security, diplomacy and human rights among other issues. Trudeau also presented Sanchez with a picture of former Spanish Prime Minister Calvo Sotelo hosting his counterpart, Trudeau’s father Pierre, in Spain in 1982. Sanchez said receiving the framed photograph was an “emotional moment.” Trudeau’s comments on Cataluña follow Quebec parties’ unanimous passage of a motion which condemned what they claimed was Spain’s ‘authoritarian’ approach to last October’s independence referendum. Some in Quebec argue the French-speaking Canadian province should also become independent.

Trying to be helpful WHILST most people understand that the flood of economic migrants into Europe is unsustainable in the long run, it would be a very hard hearted person who didn’t offer a hand to a drowning human being. This effectively is what is happening as the last privately managed rescue ship in the Mediterranean, the Aquarius (which is run by two charities Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and SOS Mediterranée) has had its Panama maritime flag removed and once it returns to port, it will be unable to leave again unless it obtains a new flag. The charities blame the Italian government for putting pressure upon Panama to remove the flag and although the Italians deny this, influential Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, has described the aid boats as a ‘taxi service’ for migrants. It is a very difficult situation as many people find it hard to understand how these migrants are able to obtain the thousands of dollars needed to pay people smugglers to take them to Europe and also how they cannot follow the news to learn about the dangers that they are likely to face. Much needs to be done to resolve problems at home but with Syria and Yemen still at war and with Eritrea only recently making life slightly easier for their young men and women, the apparently never ending number of illegal migrants will just carry on. Spain is now trying to help but there are fears that if it becomes too welcoming then the trickle will become a flood and unemployment which is bad enough still will rocket again.

Spain rescues more than 400 migrants SPAIN’S maritime rescue service has said it rescued more than 440 migrants from 15 flimsy boats, mostly off the southern coast of the country at the weekend. In their latest tweet, Salvamento Maritimo said that one of their vessels had rescued 117 people, including 34 women and five children from the Alboran sea and were taking them to Malaga port. It is estimated that nearly 300 migrants have died in waters separating Spain and Africa so

far in 2018, according to the United Nations, and over 1,600 have died this year trying to cross the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the two humanitarian groups which operate Aquarius Two, the last private rescue vessel in the central Mediterranean said Panama had pulled the ship’s registration following Italian complaints. The Panama Maritime Authority said it was acting after the ‘principal complaint came from Italian authorities’ about the ship’s captain.

It also noted that maritime authorities in Gibraltar over the summer took Aquarius Two off its registry and had requested that it suspend its operations. But Italy’s anti-migrant interior minister, Matteo Salvini, denied that allegation in a tweet saying ‘no pressure at all on Panama for the Aquarius Two, I don’t even know Panama’s area code.’ On Sunday, the two groups, SOS Mediterranee and Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), asked European governments to reassure Panama that Italy’s contentions are unfounded or issue a new flag so Aquarius Two can keep operating. Aquarius Two is carrying 58 migrants that it rescued in the last few days but where they will be taken is unclear. International maritime law stipulates that those rescued at sea are taken to the nearest safe harbour.

It is believed that Carl Carr, aged 38, was last seen in a dance club at Cabo Roig, Orihuela Costa, near Torrevieja. His worried partner, Danielle Coupe, appealed for any information on his whereabouts on social media. On Facebook, she said: ‘Has anybody seen Carl? He’s been missing since Saturday. Me, his family, and friends are going out of our minds with worry. ‘Anyone who was at Circus Discoteca can you message with the last time you saw him please?’ She pleaded to anyone with any information to contact her on 603 218 574 or call the Guardia Civil or National Police in Spain. Danielle’s Facebook post has been shared more than 400 times

Everyone must be out their minds.’ Danielle replied: ‘I feel like it’s not real. Just hoping and praying xx’ She added: ‘Thank you to everyone who has messaged me.

I can’t believe how many I have had. He’s still missing we are just praying for good news!’ Newspapers in Ireland have reported that Carr was jailed for eight years in December 2008 after he was caught in a €1.4 million drugs bust in Dublin. He is believed to have moved to Spain shortly after his release from prison.

Campaign intensifies THE fight against bullying is being stepped up by National Police in schools. As of this week, officers across the country will be raising awareness of this and other problems during talks aimed at pupils and teachers. Data compiled by the Central Unit of Citizen Participation, which develops prevention and safety work in schools throughout Spain, shows that a ‘high percentage’ of school children between 11 and 16 years of age has at some point been the victim of bullying, mostly mild or less serious. It was pointed out that the rise in new technologies and mass access to the Internet has pushed the problem into a

Chorus Financial, a company founded in Javea just two years ago, was recognised for its campaign to educate the British public here in Spain. The judging panel, made up of some of Europe’s top independent experts, praised the firm for its passion and ethics. Chorus won the International Adviser award for Excellence in Marketing and was shortlisted with just two other companies for Overall Best Adviser Firm in Europe. After the awards, Senior Partner Tracy Storer said: “For Chorus to be recognised in such a manner is testament to the hard work we have put in over the last two years. “We have not held back with our criticism on how certain firms in our industry operate, and we feel that by better educating the public, the industry as a whole will continue to improve.” Chorus articles feature regularly in both the Euro Weekly News and RTN, and are read by tens of thousands of British expats weekly. Sam Kelly, Managing Partner of Chorus, spoke exclusively to us this week. Sam said: “The support we

have received from Euro Weekly News Media Group has been invaluable. Our campaign was designed to better educate those living in Spain who are considering financial advice. This simply could not be compacted into

a tweet or 30-second advert, and through the good old medium of print, we have been given a platform to provide clear, unrushed and often vital information. “We just hope that a small firm like Chorus winning

‘Parkour’ boy plunges 11 floors to death A STUDENT has plunged to his death in Spain while allegedly practising parkour on a construction site in Madrid. The 17-year-old boy fell 11 floors to his death according to a National Police investigation when he attempted risky jumps and ‘parkour ’ with friends. Parkour participants aim to get from one point to another in a complex environment, without assistive equipment and in the fastest and most efficient way possible. It includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling, crawling and other movements as deemed most suitable for the situation and is usually carried out in urban spaces. The incident occurred on a high-rise building on Holy G ua rdia n A nge l Ave nue ,

Madrid. Paramedics called to the scene of the accident but were unable to save the boy’s life, reporting that he died immediately on impact after the fall. The construction site where the tragedy happened was completely fenced off to the public in order to prevent break-ins. In addition, the site was under the surveillance of a security guard who said he was unaware of the group’s presence until he heard the boys shouting.

TRAGIC FALL: The boy allegedly attempted ‘parkour’ on the 11th floor.

Elder abuse on the rise by Tara Rippin ATTACKS on elderly people in the family home have risen by 22 per cent since 2011, with 4,398 reported assaults in Spain last year. And the National Police figures show the most violent incidents occurred in Andalucia. In response to the shocking statistics, a parliamentary spokesperson said that the increase in the number of complaints of ‘interfamily abuse’ could also be attributed to a decrease in the ‘black figure’ of this type of violence, which now has greater visibility, rather than just more incidents. The report shows that in 2001, there were 3,603 elderly victims of abuse. A year later 3,605 reports were made, rising to 3,820 in 2013 and 3,933 in 2014. Within 12 months the figure had soared to 4,316, dropping to 4,098 in 2016, and up to 4,396 a year later. Andalucia saw the greatest number of violent incidents in 2017, with 1,146 attacks, fol-

lowed by the community of Madrid where there were 739 recorded assaults, a 52 per cent rise in six years. In Valencia there was a 32.3 per cent hike in complaints from 548 to 725, and in the Murcia region, police dealt with 193 complaints, a 45 per cent increase since 2011. A sixth of the Spanish population of 46.5 million are over retirement age, which represents 8.7 million people. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), elder abuse is defined as ‘a single or repeated act that causes harm or suffering to an elderly person, or the lack of appropriate measures to prevent it, which occurs in a relationship based on confidence, whether physical, psychological, emotional, sexual or economic.’ It also recognises that abuse of the elderly is an ‘important public health problem.’ In a recent study by the Guardia Civil, it was reported that the main crimes committed against people over 65, are robberies, thefts and mistreatment.

IN PAIN: The animal is clearly uncomfortable.

Shocking video of cow ‘being mishandled’ at festival in Spain SHOCKING video shot in Spain shows a distressed cow audibly in pain while being transported through the streets. The animal, tied by the horns, can be heard screaming and crying out in pain as it is hauled through the streets of Cuenca by 20 people during celebrations of the festival of St Matthew. The video was originally spread around social media in Spain by the Ciudad Real

Anti-bullfighting Cultural Association who have heavily criticised the manner in which the animal was treated. The animal rights association have voiced concern that the cow was not handled in a way which corresponds to Bullfighting Regulations of Castilla-La Mancha. They have cited that bulls and cows are not allowed to be tied up in the way this cow was secured and have

voiced anger that the personnel involved in the transportation of the heifer, a cow which has not borne a calf, did not possess ‘any training,’ a requirement in the region. The group stresses that the footage shows ‘what is never shown to the public’ and hope that the video will show the Spanish public a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes at controversial bull events.

Benidorm NEWS Benidorm still making waves

BENIDORM BOOM: The property market is flourishing in the city. ACCORDING to data recently released by the government, Spain’s economy has returned to its pre-crisis size. This has had a positive impact on numerous industries in the country, not least its burgeoning property market. Property sales recorded in Spain’s land registry soared in October 2017, up 28 per cent from the previous year, and the biggest increase since the housing market recovery began. The seaside resort of Benidorm is a key dri-

ver of this trend, and some may be surprised to know that the city is the fifth most searched for location in the world for property investment. Around 85 per cent of rental properties in Benidorm are occupied all year round, which marks it out from many destinations which can only rely on high season. The acquisition of corporate bonds for investment is becoming increasingly popular, due to the lack of a mortgage and maintenance fee, and Benidorm is a very attractive shortterm rental market.

Two arrested in street drugs bust THE National Police have arrested a man and woman for selling drugs on the same street in Benidorm. The 20-year-old woman was selling cocaine, ecstasy and hashish to tourists in the bars of a well-known area, but was caught by police who were on patrol. A second arrest happened when officers noticed a 29-

year-old man acting suspiciously on the street. When he noticed the police the man ran away, and they began to chase him on foot through several streets. At this point the suspect allegedly threw a bag away which contained cocaine, and he was arrested for drug trafficking.

Sad loss ALTEA’S oldest resident, Juan Bautista Pascual Bou, nicknamed Batiste La Foia, has died after a mild bout of bronchitis, his family revealed. He was born in Benimantell but had moved to Altea with his parents when he was four and latterly had lived at the Les Boqueres residence with his wife Pepita Alvado.

Introduction to scouting ALFAZ’S Fourth Scout Group are organising games and activities at El Pla park between 10am and 1pm this Saturday. The event, backed by the town hall’s Associations department, is an introduction to the scout movement for local families. Details of future activities will be available and the group hopes to recruit

new members. The Fourth Scout Group was founded in 2013 and belongs to Scouts Valencians as well as the Spanish Federation of Scouts Associations. At present 47 children and young people between the ages of five and 20 belong to the local group, together with eight Wood Badge and Leisure leaders.

The emphasis is on open-air activities and service to the community which will produce responsible and involved members of society. “Each weekend the children join in activities that will help them to learn about values, respect, comradeship, cooperation and love of nature,” said Associations councillor Marisa Cortes.

As clear as crystal ALTEA’S Beaches councillor Roque Ferrer rejected pollution claims from Opposition councillors. In response to ‘alarmist and unfounded’ accusations, he explained that regional government analyses have officially confirmed the seawater off all Altea beaches as ‘excellent.’ Ferrer clarified that earlier this summer the Generalitat advised the town hall to warn beachgoers not to swim at the mouths of the Los Arcos and La Olla streams owing to ‘residual material’ left by seagulls, ducks and the local swans. The lifesaving service had been ‘scrupulous’ in informing swimmers and beachgoers to avoid these zones and warning notices were also put up.

A very specific profile TWENTY-TWO Norwegian health professionals visited Alfaz, regarded in their country as a reference point for healthy tourism and social well-being. Alfaz has the largest expatriate Norwegian community in Spain and the health sector workers, who combine their profession with a Master’s degree studies in Oslo, toured the tourist destination that is so popular with their fellow Norwegians. The local government opted some time ago to identity Alfaz as a destination where sport, culture, sustainability and quality of life, plus first class social and health services, define a tourism with a profile that is more specific than that of neighbouring resorts. The Norwegian visitors were welcomed and shown round the town by Martine Mertens, Alfaz’s councillor for Other Nationalities, who was accompanied by Health councillor, Marisa Cortes and Training councillor Dolores Albero.

“As regards the quality of our beaches’ seawater, Altea was this year amongst pioneer municipalities in obtaining quality certifications for meeting official requirements,” Ferrer said. This had not been achieved during the previous legislation the councillor pointed out. “These norms require superlative quality, not only for seawater, but all aspects of beach services.” Ferrer told members of the public they could consult this summer’s seawater analyses that he had uploaded to the Infrastructure department social media websites. “We regret the erroneous and irresponsible statements from the Opposition as well as possible - and unnecessary - social alarm,” Ferrer said.

Continued help for APPA ALFAZ Town Hall will continue to support the APPA Animal Protection association. Mayor Vicente Arques and APPA president Vanessa Pareja renewed the collaboration agreement assigning €2,000 to the group, which was founded in 2014 and has 80 members. APPA activities include the Canine Adoption Festival to find homes for the dogs and cats that live in shelters or are fostered.

New pipes for old AGUAS DE CALPE is renewing water pipes in the Terrasala and Rafol neighbourhoods. Operatives are laying 926 metres of polyethylene piping which will be joined at eight different points to the existing domestic supply network. The quality of the service will improve, the town hall’s Infrastructure department pointed out, guaranteeing an uninterrupted supply once intersecting pipes in the Quisi gully have been eliminated. This will reduce the risk of affecting a public watercourse while improving the pressure and flow of domestic water. The new network will also eliminate 2,152 metres of obsolete piping, most of it galvanised iron or fibrocement, now classed as a health risk owing to its asbestos content. Calpe now loses little of its water supply to leaks or problems with its network of water pipes and its 85 per cent hydraulic performance is one of the highest in Alicante province.

No case against Javea mayor

PRESS CONFERENCE: Jose Chulvi announces that case is shelved. A DENIA judge shelved the case against Jose Chulvi, accused of misappropriation of public funds and misconduct in public office. The Ciudadanos party accused him last January of deliberately splitting municipal contracts to avoid putting them out to tender. Chulvi called a press conference where, surrounded by PSOE councillors, he announced that the courts had thrown out the Ciudadanos’ claims. According to Ciudadanos, he irregularly divided 50 contracts amounting to €500,000 during 2016 so they could elude the usual controls. Jose Chulvi’s legal representatives presented all necessary documentation to prove that each contract awarded was justified and the contractors had sufficient funds to carry out the work. The contracts were all supported by technical reports establishing their necessity, the prices were in line with those of the market

and the services were of the required quality. The mayor criticised Ciudadanos’ strategy of construing different technical criteria regarding contracting procedures as ‘grave offences’. He also lamented being ‘frivolously accused’ of such serious offences that he could have faced a 10-

year prison term. “In politics and life it’s not a matter of ‘anything goes’,” Chulvi said, adding that legal proceedings should be reserved for really important issues. ‘Collapsing the courts with personal vendettas is, to say the least, irresponsible.’

Cyclists should limit themselves to the roads and paths they are authorised to use, the park governors maintain, because the downhill routes they are opening up in the countryside is having an adverse effect on areas of great natural value. The board of governors and the park rangers are now taking steps to increase controls to detect and eliminate the new tracks while informing BMX riders about the park regulations. Nor is this first time that

JAVEA Town Hall intends to convert the Casa de la Candelaria into a centre devoted to the painter Joaquin Sorolla. S o r o l l a , w h o w a s b o r n i n Va l e n c i a i n 1863, spent long periods in Javea, recording its population and landscapes in more than 100 paintings and sketches. The municipality hopes to obtain the support of Blanca Pons-Sorolla, the artist’s great-grandaughter who heads the Fundacion Sorolla, and Consuelo Luca de Tena, director of the Sorolla Museum in Madrid.

Javea’s mayor Jose Chulvi and Culture councillor Quico Moragues, recently outlined their plans to both women at a meeting in the capital. They agreed to visit Javea to view the Casa de la Candelaria building and appeared well-disposed towards the project, the mayor revealed afterwards. “They were very receptive, owing to Joaquin Sorolla’s Javea connection and our commitment to culture and sustainability,” Chulvi said.

Green shoots on burnt land JUST over two years ago, 812 hectares of Granadella were destroyed in a forest fire. Now vegetation has returned to the zone as it did once before in 1941 when the entire area was devastated, and again in late August in 2000 when 300 hectares were lost. According to biologist Jaume Soler from the Serveis Ambientals Marina Alta company, the 2016 fire was no surprise and was bound to occur sooner or later. Soler, who is directing municipal technicians in the Granadella regeneration project, explained that the seedling pines which had created dense woodland were partly to blame. As the protected terrain is surrounded by

housing, it required only human negligence to cause the 2016 disaster which investigators later discovered was sparked by a thrown cigarette-end at the Cumbre del Sol lookout. The resulting fire thinned out the highly combustible pines and it is now essential to prevent their explosive regrowth, Soler warned. But as Granadella begins to turn green again with mastic, holm oaks, kermes oaks and buckthorn, Soler has already detected the first symptoms of soil degradation. A great deal of pre-steppe vegetation has also appeared, which could eventually choke the native and less fire-prone trees, he said.

Enjoy Denia! A Guide for tourists who want to stop being one TAPAS Tapas are the greatest ambassador of Spanish gastronomy. They are a cultural tradition deeply rooted in our country, that over the years have evolved into a social activity created to share and enjoy the specific cuisine of each region. Going out to tapas is the most typically Spanish thing you can do during your holidays. It guarantees fun and lively conversation, it encourages you to discover new flavours, meet and share with other people. Going out for tapas is a social event that brings together some of the best things in life: great conversation, improvisation and good food. It is said that the origin of tapas dates to medieval times when the wine cups were covered with a slice of bread, usually with a bit of ham or cheese on top, so that the road dust did not get into the cup. Since people in general are very keen to socialise around food, perhaps it is simply that the Spaniards took it one step further. In Dénia, in the Marina Alta, many delicious tapas are related to the Mediterranean Sea and local products of our area. Ingredients should always be fresh and seasonal, only then can the typical dishes and tapas of the Marina be properly appreciated. We wish to present a few of them below, and leading restuarants to visit to enjoy them:

‘Pulpo Seco’ - Al Forn de les Deveses restaurant This is dried octopus, an exquisite delicacy that needs certain preparation prior to cooking. During a long and careful drying, the whole piece is conditioned, then it is cut into lengths. A strong burst of flame is all that is required to cook, then the octopus is presented cut into thin slices with a splash of extra virgin olive oil. In the Al Forn restaurant you can also taste it with the authentic flavour of the ‘brassa’ grill from a traditional Moorish stone oven. A unique experience that is worth discovering and sharing.

‘Los Salazones’ - Restaurante Primera Linea This is a type of salted/smoked fish and is a delicious snack, made up of a variety of fish: tuna and smoked cod, bonito, Cantabri-

an anchovies, mackerel, roe, mojama, etc. An exquisite selection whose quality is fundamental for the flavours of traditional dishes, requiring little preparation. Restaurant Primer Linea offer guests a gateway to enjoy the gastronomy of Dénia and the Marina Alta. Being situated front line, the restaurant is infused with Mediterranean sea’s odours. The restaurant has a colourful and carefree atmosphere, benefiting from fabulous windows. A special place that brings senses alive to the aroma of the fresh and authentic flavours and food.

‘Pescaditos de la bahía’ - Casa Federico Restaurant These are a selection of small fried fish from the bay and are a monument to the palate. Delicious and varied, they have varied textures and flavours that are hidden among the whiting, red mullet and other fresh and succulent small fish. Casa Federico’s kitchen offers an exquisite selection of ingredients, in a wide variety of starters, with local fish, and traditional meat and classic rice dishes. Their original restaurant model is extremely popular with Spanish and foreigners alike. The food is traditional, recovered and brought into the 21st century, with simplicity, humility and the desire to exceed.

‘Figatells de pulpo de roca’ La Senia Restaurant Figatells are a traditional dish of Marina Alta and La Safor. In their most traditional version, it is made with pork and served on toast bread, making a delicious snack and an illustrious dish of our region. But some chefs have reconverted the recipe, a delicous example of this is in restaurant La Senia with its ‘Figatells de pulpo de roca’ literally translated ‘rock octopus figatell.’ An authentic dish from the restaurant, with a surprising flavour.

Real estate investment, special tax regime for companies buying to let MANY of the investors in real estate properties in Spain do not do so with the intention of buying the properties to sell quickly, but invest with the intention of renting out long term. The reasons for this are many; some do it in order to take advantage of the low property prices when compared to the years before the real estate crisis and because rents in Spain, especially in some cities, can be very high. Another influence is the fact banks do not pay significant interest on deposits or savings and many investors want to put their money to work meaning they buy properties in Spain and rent them, thus obtaining a return for their funds which they cannot get from banks, and this is without taking significant risks. Although there are a number of ways to invest in Spain, the truth is that many of these in-

vestors are unaware of the existence of a special tax regime for those companies whose activity is property leasing. This special regime is included in articles 48 and following ones of the Corporate Tax Law (Law 27/2014). This special law states: It is applicable to companies whose main activity is the lease of homes located in Spain, (that is, the letting contract must have as its main objective to constitute the permanent home of the tenant) and it would not be applicable therefore for companies that want to rent out properties for holiday lets. Number of dwellings: the

number of dwellings leased or offered for lease by the companies must always be at least eight. Term: the properties must be leased for a minimum three years. Accounting and communication: each property must have separate accounting and holding companies must report to the Tax Administration that they have opted to be included in this special regime. Tax benefits: companies will have a tax benefit of 85 per cent of the amount corresponding to the income raised from the lease of properties that meet the requirements stated above. Therefore, if you are an investor and want to invest in Spain in real estate properties with the objective of renting them as habitual or permanent homes, be aware fiscally there is the option of purchasing the real estate through a company, which providing it complies

with requirements, may opt for the special regime of entities dedicated to home leasing, which is provided in Chapter III, of the Corporation Tax Law, with significant tax benefits. You should know that if you already have several properties in your own name as an individual and you are interested in transferring them to a company, for example, to be able to enjoy this regime or for any other reason, know that it is possible to do so, with a lower cost than a normal sale or property transfer. Therefore, if you want to invest in property, the best way to do it is to set up a company in Spain, or transfer your properties into a company, contact us and we will help you.

in a gang-related incident. In the latest violent attack, which occurred last Wednesday afternoon around 6pm, the victim was stabbed twice in the legs by an assailant who fled the scene in a getaway vehicle. The stab victim was taken immediately to Marbella’s Costa del Sol Hospital, which was the same hospital

Craig Moran was rushed to 10 days prior. The latest stabbing took place in the centre of Puerto Banus, an area frequented by British holidaymakers. It is understood that the latest victim, who remains unidentified, is refusing to cooperate with Spanish police and no arrests have yet been made.

Medics in Spain discover turtle in ‘intimate region’ of Brit woman’s body DOCTORS in Spain were shocked to find a British woman had a decomposing turtle rotting away inside her body causing a severe infection. The woman, reportedly a resident of Tenerife in the Canary Islands, went to the El Mojon medical centre complaining of a severe pain in her abdomen. Medical staff were astonished to find out that her pain was being caused by an infection caused by a decomposing turtle inside her body. National Police were called to the medical centre after the discovery was made to take the woman’s statement. The woman claims she first realised a strange sensation in her private area two days prior during a party with fellow Brits on the Canary island. The woman assured the National Police she had no idea how the turtle came to be inside of her.

It is understood that the British woman remains in hospital receiving treatment for the infection. The Spanish word tortuga is used for both ‘turtle’ and ‘tortoise,’ details about which reptile was found have yet to be confirmed.

Woman dies after cooker explodes A 66-YEAR-OLD woman in Spain has died after her pressure cooker exploded. The tragic accident happened while the woman was preparing a chickpea stew in Melide in La Coruña (Galicia). The pot was found almost intact, except for the lid, which suggests that it shot off and hit the victim. It is believed there was a problem with the valve through which the pressure is released, which caused it

to increase until the cover of the pot flew off with fatal consequences. Such incidents are rare, but in 2012, a very similar accident occurred in Gijón, which led to the death of a 36-year-old woman who was five months pregnant. And in 2013 five students of the School of Hospitality in the Basque Country were injured, two of them seriously, after an industrial pressure cooker exploded.

‘ABSURD’: Russia’s embassy in Norway spoke out over the arrest.

Diplomatic spat over ‘spy’ probe RUSSIAN diplomats in Norway have said that the arrest of a 51-year-old man from the country in Oslo on espionage charges last week was ‘absurd.’ The suspect, who has gone before a Norwegian court, faces three years in jail if found guilty. Russia’s embassy in Norway said on Facebook the pretext for his arrest was ‘far-fetched.’

Syria arms deal MOSCOW is set to supply the Syrian government with the S-300 anti-missile system within the coming weeks, according to Russia’s Defence Minister. Sergei Shoigu’s annoucemnt follows the downing of a Russian plane in the country which killed 15 military personnel. The Defence Ministry accused Israel of indirectly causing the attack.

Activist arrest A PROMINENT Russian activist has been arrested on suspicion of breaking protest laws while leaving custody on the same charges, according to an associate. Leonid Volkov, who is

close to former presidential contender Alexei Navalny, claimed he was taken to a police station as he walked out of prison earlier this week.

The deal reached with prosecutors involves him paying a fine that represents 40 per cent of the amount allegedly evaded, or just under €350,000. Modric can also convert his jail sentence to another fine of

€ 2 5 0 a d a y, w h i c h w o u l d t o t a l around €60,000.

THE Bank of Spain has warned that a rapid increase in consumer credit, which has risen 47 per cent since 2014, has made the economy more vulnerable in the event of another financial crisis.

To minimise these risks it urges both banks and the public to ensure that credit is based on ‘prudent expectations’ about what customers can realistically repay.

EU funds to boost Morocco

Oil slip MIGRATION MONEY: The funds will be vital for Morocco’s development. THE EU has allocated €234 million of aid to Morocco to boost efforts to stem illegal migration to the continent. Its Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn signed agreements covering funding with Morocco’s Finance Minister Mohamed Benchaaboun, with Hahn confirming Europe’s commitment to Morocco’s national development. Some €150 million of the aid is destined for the ‘Competitiveness and Green Growth’ programme,

aimed at strengthening self-employed entrepreneurs. It will also boost first-time exporters, the business climate and recycling. The rest of the funds will go towards government social protection initiatives, aiming to reduce social disparities by increasing access to basic services. Morocco has an unemployment rate of over 9 per cent, but this rises to nearly 30 per cent for young people, resulting in many looking to escape through migration to Europe.

THE Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has estimated that oil will account for 28 per cent of global energy consumption in 2040, (down from 31 per cent last year), due to the boom in natural gas and renewable energy.

It will provide training and consultancy services as

well as assist the development and promotion of entrepreneurship to indigenous Ghanaian businesses, helping them foster investment and job creation. Ghana’s Minister of Business Development, Dr Mohammed Awal has explained that the 2,000 beneficiaries would be the first batch of many to be provided with the necessary skills capable of producing first class international products and the adoption of modern business techniques within the industry.

Youngsters of today have no pride LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I DON’T write about Brexit, at least I haven’t for a while. The reason is that I have had the whole boring barrage of brain jarring bull totally up to here. In fact, for the last month or so, I’ve had a personal competition. When I switch on the telly, I see how long it takes to hear the Brexit word uttered by some floating head or another. This morning took the experiment to new heights. The first vocal sound that came through was ‘exit. So, I guess that puts it to around minus a nanosecond before I actually became aware of the whole word. I’m also getting a mite piqued with all the vitriolic diatribes being directed at those who voted to leave. The main offenders of these often-unacceptable condemnations are generally the younger generation. There are of course a number of reasons for this, the main one being that they are so cosseted and ‘nannied’ these days that most of them are utterly petrified of being cut loose from the ‘mothers’ of Brussels apron strings! Heaven forbid they should have to actually look up from their mobiles, use their initiative and take a few risks in the big wide world,

TIN MAN: Youth have no knowledge of UK’s past. thereby actually doing something for themselves and their country. Which brings me to the second reason for their oft nasty reactions. There is no sense of pride or patriotism in the youngsters of today. The schools are not teaching them our long and often glorious history, or the sacrifices that so many made for them to be lucky enough to live in a society that allows

them such freedom and democracy. Indeed, many have parents or ancestors that hail from countries that they consider were pillaged and laid to waste by the marauding Brits of yore. However much we try to atone, some will never forgive us, and many will not be happy till everything that is British is consigned to past history and swept under the carpet of a new

faceless super state. Another reason to vote remain! There is an ad on telly at present. The ad is for an insurance company. A young man of plainly ethnic origin, but with a cockney accent and presumably British, is trying to explain something that caused him to have an accident in his car. ‘A tin man in a dress or a Kaftan ran across the road, chasing a horse that was also wearing some kind of dress,’ he informs the rep. They then show what he had actually seen. If this young man had been taught the history of the country he lives in, he would have known immediately that this was a Knight in armour and his horse, probably originating from some jousting competition in the vicinity. The disquieting point here is that the company who made the ad used this example knowing full well that the majority of viewers would probably have been just as lost for an explanation as the young man in question. Ah well... So, Justin Bieber doesn’t want a prenup with his new bride to be, because he considers ‘marriage is forever.’ Bieber’s fortune is estimated at some 280 million. Would any of you wager 100 odd million on a favourable marital result? Fools, money and parted comes to mind! Keep the faith Love Leapy. leapylee2002@gmail.com

THERE’S no doubt that Brits love to holiday, but did you know you could be falling foul of local laws next time you step onto foreign soil? Laws and customs are different wherever we travel, but sometimes, the most unexpected, seemingly innocent items, or actions could get you into the kind of deep water you didn’t bank on as part of your holiday adventure. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) recently launched a campaign to encourage travellers to check the local laws and customs of their destination before they travel. Before you venture on your next break, check out these surprising laws to avoid a globetrotting faux pas, or worse still, a massive fine, or imprisonment. Did you know... • Taking gum into Singapore is illegal. What’s more, selling it there could get you a fine of up to $100,000. • Benylin cough syrup isn’t permitted through customs in Zambia. • Enjoy a tipple while relaxing on holiday? Be extra careful if travelling to the US.

The strangest laws abroad that could land you in deep water

KEEP WALKING: Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral is no place for a snack.

You could get arrested while in public, even if you just look intoxicated! Public intoxication is a misdemeanour in most states, but in Texas, you could be fined up to $500. • Eating a sandwich or having a drink while chilling on church steps or courtyards in Florence is an offence. So save the snacks until after you’ve mooched around the iconic Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral. • Don’t even think about a kiss or cuddle in public while in the UAE as public displays of affection could lead to arrest and imprisonment. • If you’ve opted for a holiday-let in Switzerland, beware that flushing the loo after 10pm in an apartment building is illegal thanks to their noise pollution laws. • You can only dance in Japan after midnight if the lights are on! This law links back to days when dance halls were sometimes locations for prostitution. Strut-yourstuff into the early hours - but keep the lights up! • Sitting on the pavement in many US cities is an offence. So don’t be tempted to take a rest if you’ve been waiting too long

for a bus in California, Virginia and many other popular holiday spots. • Medication we innocently purchase over the counter at home is against stringent antistimulant laws in Japan, including decongestants Sudafed and Vicks. See our July article for travelling with medication risks. Wherever you go on your next adventure, visit the FCO website www.gov.uk/trav elaware for up-to-date information on what your location has in store for you. And whatever else you leave behind, remember to buy reliable travel insurance. Globelink www.globelink.co.uk gets you covered up to age 89, with free Cruise cover and 50 PreExisting Medical Conditions covered as standard, including high blood pressure, diabetes, gastric reflux, hypertension and more. Globelink Travel Insurance: for people living in the EU. Trusted for 20 years by our customers. Visit www.globelink.co.uk, or call (UK) +44 1353 699 082 or our Spanish link line 96 626 5000.

Cassandra Nash A weekly look - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

SPAIN wants a say on Gibraltar during the UK’s putative Brexit agreement with the EU which looks more elusive every day. Gibraltar raising its head right now is the last thing floundering, beleaguered May wants right now. There is a Spanish saying ‘eramos pocos y pario la abuela.’ No-one does irony better than the Spanish and despite the presence of ‘pocos’ it means there were many of us and then grandma had a baby. This describes a last-straw, things-can’t-getworse and let’s all jump over a cliff situation, but of course it’s not grandma having a baby it’s the entire Cabinet having kittens.

SPAIN’S resigned foreign minister Josep Borrell explained that “whether we like it or not” Spain must take in some of the immigrants agreed with the European Union. Not all, he added, “because they won’t fit in,” he said, referring to physical space. Although this is where resentment, when it exists, lies because not all of today’s immigrants want to fit in. There were fewer problems with immigration in Spain when it was mostly Latin American or European because everyone shared a similar cul-

Brexit and the kittens The lie detectors ALBERT RIVERA is not doing himself any favours with his continued insistence that Pedro Sanchez’s doctorate is partly plagiarised. Computer programmes that scan manuscripts for cutting and pasting found no evidence, but the Ciudadanos leader won’t take yes for an answer and is determined to prove that the president of Spain’s government is a fraud. Sanchez’s thesis is run-of-the-mill, academics agree, but its main sin is mediocrity, not its provenance. Politicians have just enough common sense to perceive that although the public expects them to make unfulfillable promises, they

The immigrants now arriving, especially those seeking asylum or a better life than their strife-ridden countries can offer, are literally foreign. But ever-pragmatic Borell, a former president of the European Parliament, pointed out that these immigrants will counteract ageing Spain’s practically non-existent birthrate. And because there are precious few benefits in

Few voters give a tinker’s cuss about their elected leaders’ academic records but there is general weariness as they try to score off each other, winkle out lies or detect inconsistencies in their stories. Rivera and Casado, especially, should get on with what they are paid for, representing the voters who put them in a job and pay their wages.

Modest tastes PROFESSOR ENRIQUE ALVAREZ CONDE of the Institute of Public Law (IDP) who ended

Spain, any immigrants who stay here will have to work and pay taxes. And eventually they will fund the pensions of the people like the Partido Popular leader Pablo Casado whose anti-immigrant views are in danger of turning it into the Partido Populista. JOSEP BORRELL: ‘They won’t fit in.’

Although 5,400 emails and invoices were wiped from its computers, some credit card charges emerged. These included €150 and €89 butcher’s and fishmonger’s bills from December 24 in 2016 when the good professor and his family must have dined magnificently on crustaceans and roast lamb.

Advertising Feature FOR several years the Aborigen View team has been doing solidary trips to Africa, all they wanted was to share resources and bring visual health to those who need it most as well as clothing and medicines. It all started at Interoptics in Alfaz del Pi where they would contact opticians around the country, people from the town, family, clients and friends so they could donate their used glasses or anything that could be useful to bring to the Sahara Desert in their van. It was on their last trip to the Sahara when they realised how necessary these glasses were for all those who had no access to visual health care. So they created Aborigen View to be able to reach even more people in need. It has been created to be more than just a non-profit association that acts directly on the area of the problem. They have three goals that are very clear: bring health care, humanitarian aid and volunteers to the most vulnerable places on earth. The goal is to reduce the elevated rates of preventable blindness all over the world. Being unable to see represents an obstacle for employment opportunities as well as for training. The team travels to remote areas with equipment and professionals take eye tests and give glasses to all those in need. At the survival points the goal is to provide people with the essentials to exist in a safe place, with access to drinking water and

An Oasis in Albir IF you look up the word oasis in the dictionary you will read ‘a place where you can find safety and sustenance’. Although the literal meaning of oasis is a green spot in the desert, it can also be used to describe a peaceful area in our everyday lives. Both the former and the latter, describe the Albir Oasis Park which is run by Shaun and Chris Wilson and set in a tranquil, residential suburb of Albir. Established in 1980, the park is conveniently located just a short drive from Benidorm and puts you in touch with all the amenities you could possibly wantmaking it an easy half or full day trip.

YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE - YOUR OPINION Letters should be emailed to yoursay@euroweeklynews.com or make your comments on our website: www.euroweeklynews.com I’D like to offer my sincere condolences to the family of the braindead scumbag in Carlos Haya hospital (Malaga), who crept in to my friend Jo’s ward at 8am and stole her mobile phone from her bed as she slept. You are either a member of staff or a fellow patient, but whatever you are, surely there’s no room for the likes of you in a civilised society? I’m sure you could find gainful employment in the gutters of some war torn country in the middle of nowhere? Jo’s been in there for a month now, and is very ill, can’t speak Spanish, so the only comfort she had was that phone, music, social media, WhatsApp, Texts, etc. And you just walked in and took it without a care in the world. I’ve seen some lowlife crime in my time, but that’s right up there. If you have even a shred of moral fibre in you, give that phone back. Seamus Neary. Editor ’s note: A reward is offered for the return of the phone

Callous thief lacks morals Brexit with no exit

Just buying votes? ON June 25 I wrote the following: ‘I am going to make a prediction. Imagine a mayor scares the living cr*p out of residents by telling them they have to pay €42 million to get council services. ‘Some 39 urbanisations will be exempt, but they don’t know yet who they are because the villain of the story won’t tell them. Then, he later announces that the council will pay the costs over X number of years. The villain of the story suddenly becomes the knight in shining armour. Then he goes to the elections, everybody loves him, and votes him back. ‘For mayor, villain, and knight, read Maldonado (Mijas, Malaga). The fairytale ending is made up!’ An article in the Spanish press now indicates that 70 per cent of its urbanisations will be received by Mijas Council. For the first time in his Mandate, Maldonado is 100 per cent transparent, but only in his predictability. He wants your vote. Bill Anderson

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

CALAHONDA: No cost to residents to be ‘received’ Editor’s note: Mijas Council will ‘receive’ those urbanisations who agree. This means the town hall will take over the responsibility of maintaining roads and other infrastructure from the urbanisation’s community.

Readers who have missed correspondence can see all letters - which can be edited before publication - posted on: www.euroweeklynews.com.

THOSE of us who have taken the trouble to look beyond the news of the mainstream media will soon learn that there is a Brexit without the exit. In fact we are going to be even worse off than before. This current PM is as treacherous as the rest of the previous PMs since Edward Heath who first conned the public to take the first step into the long term agenda to remove the sovereignty of all the European nations including Britain. What Theresa May has done is to deliberately be vague and drag out the negotiations for as long as possible in order to find a way to get around actually leaving the EU. She has been very busy behind the scenes making sure that we will retain our membership of all the most important organisations of the EU and importantly we will continue to pay for that privilege. British taxpayers will continue to pay billions of pounds into the EU as before via these organisations as opposed to the current system for the benefit of the public so as not to alert them and in turn we will be obliged to continue to impose and incorporate all their rules and regulations. The biggest one of course is we will be part of the new EU army. This was made clear by the current Minister of Defence that Britain will continue to be and contribute to the EU army that will be run by Germans with us of course paying billions of pounds for the pleasure of being a member. We will no longer have a national army of any consequence. But the biggest con is that we will no longer have any representation in Brussels. It is win, win all the way for the EU and the big bonus is that they won’t have those irritating British MEPs asking awkward questions any more and can now do as they like and Britain has no say but will continue to be one of the biggest contributors through the backdoor. Vivienne Pimm Editor ’s note: For reasons of length this letter has been abridged.

Something new which you started in recent weeks becomes more than a passing interest. Although it may be surprising to you, it is owing to a predictable situation. In opening your mind, you also seem to have opened your heart.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being totally inspired this week, you could be tempted to let enthusiasm run away with you. It is a lovely feeling, like being a child again. Be sure to have fun, but do keep as much money in your pocket as possible.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There will be a certain amount of discussion regarding holiday plans. You know what you want but how do you persuade others? It's quite easy really. All you have to do is to get someone else to suggest a certain place.

possible that the other party sees this as more significant than you. To avoid problems later it would be best to let them do all the running.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Your outgoing attitude is spot on. Some may say you are a little crazy, the way you go for things. Each person has their own way and yours can be quite unique but that certainly does not make it wrong. People who make the world around us that little bit more colourful are gems.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Some legal matters need your attention. That's not really what you want at this time of the year. A decision has to be made and it needs a fine balance. Asking others may just confuse matters, so only seek expert advice. At the end of the day, you will know what is both best and acceptable.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) A last-minute invitation turns out to be just the ticket in more ways than one. An invitation to join a holiday may be proffered. This is unusual, certainly, but keep an open mind. Your company is clearly well appreciated so why not make that a point of pride?

You are so sharp that there is a danger you will cut yourself! Seriously, though, try not to appear pompous over a certain matter. You may be right and you may be clever, but smarty pants are rarely popular. Some of that sharpness gets things going for you in the love department.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) With everyone busy round you, the chance may be taken to show what you are capable of. Instead of watching someone make a pig’s ear of a work project, offer to help.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) A business partnership takes on a romantic tinge this week. It is

Someone you mistrust offers to add to your celebrations. Why not call a truce? We both know that little long term will come out of it, but who cares? Sometimes, it is better to share one good moment with someone than none at all.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) As you are very much in the limelight, it comes as no great surprise that admiration comes your way. What may surprise you, however, is the direction it comes from. Who would have thought that such a situation would arise? Strange things happen sometimes. Treat life with humour and kindness and you will not go far wrong.

Making good food choices WH ILE wo m e n wh o e n jo y a Mediterranean diet reduce their risk of a stroke, the protective attributes of fish, oil and vegetables are apparently less effective in men. Researchers have found that females reduce their risk by 22 per cent, but the odds were only 6 per cent lower in males who follow the eating regime. Cutting down on meat and dairy products, the preferred foods on the continent include fish, fruits, nuts and vegetables. And t h e r e i s n o sh o rta g e o f s tudies wh i c h sh o w th e s e fo o d types c a n b o o st h e a rt h e a lth and even stave off cancer and fatigue. Experts at the University of Anglia led a study of 23,000 people, aged 40 to 77, who were assigned into four groups, based on how closely they adhered to a Mediterranean diet. Volunteers were asked to complete seven-day diaries of everything they ate and drank, said to be more precise than questionnaires. They then compared their stroke risks over a 17-year period. The findings showed the overall risk was slashed by around 17 per cent, but with a massive difference depending on sex. Those at high risk of heart disease, leaving them susceptible to a stroke, also had a lower chance of the lat t e r i f t h e y o p t e d fo r th e

The universities of Cambridge and Aberdeen were also involved in th e s tu d y, o n e of the la rge s t conducted, and the results were published in the American Heart

study was too small to test for this and called for further experiments to investigate further the link. Greek scientists have discovered that people over 65 slept sounder after eating olives, fish and seas ona l fr ui t s, m aj or par t s of a Mediterranean diet, although the

EXCESS GAS: Certain foods can reduce risks of bloating.

Listen to your tummy COUNTERACT: Potassium eliminates the negative effects of sodium. THE body’s reaction to certain foods can cause stomach bloating, an uncomfortable problem that can be avoided by making food choices that reduce the production of excess gas. Foods known for their bloat-inducing qualities include beans, onions and broccoli, but there are things we can eat that help do the opposite. Five bloat-blocking foods recommended are rice, banana, yoghurt, cu-

cumber and papaya. Certain foods, especially some carbohydrates, are only partially digested in the gut, and this can result in gas build-up. But rice is fully digested in the small intestines. Foods with high sodium intake can be culprits as sodium attracts and retains water in the body. So to counteract this, experts recom-

mend eating potassium, high levels of which are found in bananas. Yoghurt has long been known for helping balance out gut bacteria. By choosing one with active cultures, the ‘good’ varieties in the digestive tract can be increased. Cucumber is a natural diuretic with its high water and low fibre content, meaning they lead to increased urina-

tion and help achieve a flatter stomach. Studies have shown that shavings of papaya contain a white substance called papain, which when ripe have a laxative quality which helps bowel movement. As well as the foods we eat, the way in which we eat them is important too for a happy abdomen. Eating regular meals means the di-

gestive system can get into a routine, allowing digestion to flow more smoothly. Excess gas sufferers are advised to limit their intake of baked beans, cabbage, cauliflower, sprouts, turnips and leeks. High fat foods and eggs are also notorious for producing bad smelling gas.

Know the risks

BUILD UP: The accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain destroys neurons. HOPE: New research may help find way a forward in the treatment of the most common form of dementia.

Positive step forward SCIENTIFISTS claim to have discovered why decades of studies have failed to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. Previous attempts to find a treatment focused on the toxic build-up of protein clumps, known as amyloid beta, in a patient’s brain. This accumulation slowly destroys neurons and causes memory loss and confusion. But researchers at King’s College in London argue that once these clumps have formed, it is too late for medication to make a difference. They claim that by targeting the little-known protein that causes the clusters to develop significantly improves signs of Alzheimer’s in mice.

Drug treatments that work on blocking this protein are already available in Japan and China for stroke. Scientisits found that the disease’s progressions works like a circuit. When the amyloid-beta starts to join together in the sufferer’s brain, it starts to break down nerve cells. This causes these cells to produce more amyloid-beta. A study spokesperson said that a ‘vicious positive feedback loop’ exists in which the protein drives its own production. And once this ‘loop’ gets out of control, drugs are no longer effective. He added that this could be why so many Alzheimer ’s drug trials have

proved unsuccessful. The team of researchers believe pharmaceutical developers should target the protein Dkk1, which stimulated the production of amyloid-beta. Tests on mice, which were treated with the Dkk1-blocking drug fasudil for two weeks, showed a dramatic reduction in their levels of the protein. The scientists now plan to investigate if fasudil, which is an approved drug for other conditions, could boost brain health and prevent cognitive decline in people with early stage Alzheimer’s. Around 500,000 people in the UK are affected by Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia.

WEARERS of contact lenses are being warned to look after their eye hygiene following the detection of cases of a rare infection which can cause blindness. A preventable condition called Acanthamoeba keratitis causes the front surface of the eye to become inflamed, and contact lens wearers are most at risk. The Acanthamoeba can survive in the space between the lens and the eyes. To prevent the condition, lenses must be prop-

erly disinfected before wearing. Experts warn that poor hygiene habits while handling the lenses can also increase the risk of contamination. And showering or swimming while wearing contact lenses can further raise the odds. According to the American Optometric Association, wearers should never sleep in contact lenses, unless prescribed by a doctor, never put them in the mouth and do not swap with anybody else.

Healthy additions POPULAR: The supplement market is huge.

SUPPLEMENTS have grown more popular over the years with a number of studies claiming their benefits for a number of different health condi-

tions. Calcium is vital for healthy bones, which play an important part in a p e r s o n ’s h e a l t h a s t h e y provide structure for the

b o d y, p e r f e c t o rg a n s a n d anchor muscles. Poor bone health can result in osteoporosis, which can make them more prone to breaking. With age, the intestines absorb less calcium from the diet, and the kidneys become less efficient at conserving it. As a result, the body can steal calcium from bone for a variety of important metabolic functions. Experts claim the memory can be protected as early as possible with a fish oil supplement which are packed with omega3s, specifically docosahexaenoic (DHA), which help improve the way brain functions and increase new cell growth. And vitamin D supplements can help to lower the risk of heart disease. Anybody over the age of four should take 10 micrograms each day.

TECH FOR THE TIMID

Fight or flight mode?

Laptop dance

Terence Kennedy considers the plane truth: to switch off in-flight or not COULD you bring down a plane by not switching your phone to Flight Mode? More than a third of travellers now keep their phones on. So perhaps we should indeed pay more attention to that safety demonstration? Well here’s the horse’s-mouth reality, quoted by a commercial pilot the other month: 99.99 per cent of the time it really doesn’t matter, so go right ahead and second-guess the pilot by playing Infinite Flight Simulator. It’s that other .01 per cent that matters. First the myths. No, phones won’t interfere with the navigation system and send you plunging to your doom playing Doom. In fact they won’t interfere with any of the plane’s electronic systems - except perhaps the radio. Does it matter? Probably not, if you were the only one aboard sneaking a last-minute call during take-off. At worst you’ll annoy the pilot or trafficcontroller with a brief ‘bzzzt-bzzztbzzzt-bzzt-bzzt’ on-speaker while communicating with each other. But active phones constantly seek cell towers and bzzzt as they do so.

FLIGHT CLUB: Mobiles may matter. Now multiplied by scores of non-compliers per flight. There have indeed been at least two serious incidents where mobile phones could have been implicated: the crash of a Crossair plane in Switzerland in 2000, when spurious transmissions

confused the autopilot, and a fatal crash in New Zealand in 2003. However the author of the tell-all Cockpit Confidential insists that “To date there are no proven cases of a phone adversely affecting the outcome of a flight.” Then he spoils it all by

FEATURE

adding: “But you never know.” Far more dangerous on a flight, apparently, is the risk of our electronic toys hurtling through the air like unguided missiles during turbulence or other ‘unsettled conditions’ (as I heard one cool and calm pilot announce it while we brushed up on our ‘Hail Marys’ and assumed the position). The industry has largely given up on that one and lets us keep our smaller gadgets clutched and running at all times, no doubt on the logical assumption that you’re more likely to survive a flying iPhone than a ThinkPad. Ultimately, consider this hidden possibility to delight conspiracy theorists everywhere: using mobiles in-flight is absolutely safe, but the airlines will never admit it. Why? The minute it can be proved beyond reasonable doubt that phones are safe, a percentage of flyers will demand the right to use them, pitting one angry group of travellers against another, with carriers stuck in the middle, says our Cockpit Confidential man. The aircraft cabin is a last refuge of relative silence. Let’s keep it that way.

EVER wondered why you have to unpack a laptop for airport security, but not a tablet? The official answer is that a laptop is less dense and could hide dangerous stuff. Technology wasn’t the answer to ultimate passenger security some years back when, after an investment of millions in fancy new peoplescanners, airports quickly retired them in droves. They were doing their job too well. The scanners showed passengers naked, to the outrage of privacy campaigners. Every nip and tuck was there for the delectation of the staff, Playboy on the hoof for an eight-hour shift, said its detractors. The death-knell sounded in 2013 with the arrest of one particularly diligent security man. Police found the juciest of the month’s x-rays on his wall at home.

Time’s a great healer Take care!

Mike Senker In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man THEY say that time is a great healer which would explain why, in England, they make you wait months before you can get to see a specialist. My experiences here are much better generally so I was a little put out that after waiting over an hour past my appointment time to see my diabetic doctor... I have the diabetes, not her… she’s rushing me. I had loads of blood test results to go through, some scans done, and wanted to relook at my meds, sorting out my insulin and other stuff. After about five minutes she starts giving me the hurry up treatment because she’s running late. What I don’t get is why rush me? Why not the people that made her late in the first place? Someone has to explain to me how that works. So after five minutes I’m sent on my way still with loads of unanswered questions and a general feeling of bewilderment. I’ll get another crack at it in six months’ time - hopefully with more than the five-minute time allowance.

I’ve noticed a new menace on the roads - well actually the pavements. People on mini motorised two wheelers. They look like a large scooter but with an engine and a saddle on it. They are being hired out by loads of companies that usually hire out normal bicycles. Now, I have no objections to businesses renting them out, but I do wish some of their customers would be a bit more responsible. Some of them whizz along, really fast, and nearly all the riders wear a crash helmet. I’ve seen them mostly along the paseo when I’m walking the dog. They would not have a hope in hell of stopping if a child or a dog got in front of them. They ride on the pavement because they are scared to drive them on the road. What nonsense! Because they aren’t confident enough to ride them on the road, they put everyone in danger that is walking along the pavement. This simply should not be allowed. If you can’t or won’t ride them in the road, then the police should nick these people. And as with all these things it’s not the bike that’s the problem - it’s the people using them! The bikes are great but they need to be used sensibly. mikesenker@gmail.com

Eat Well

to Live Well by Andrew Harding AFTER the last few weeks of discussing vitamins and essential minerals, this week I am going to give my reader (hopefully the plural) a dietary rest. I am limited to a certain number of words in my column as are all writers, so this week one recipe only with many ingredients and instructions, but still fairly easy to cook: Chicken Satay with a Peanut Butter Sauce Serves 4 1 kg chicken breast, skinned, boned, unpleasant bits removed and 2.5cm cubed 250 grams dry roasted peanuts, crushed 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Juice from 2 limes 1 teaspoon chilli powder 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, ground For the sauce 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 500 gram jar crunchy peanut butter 2 whole large Spanish spring onions, chopped 8 whole garlic cloves, skinned and chopped 1 piece ginger root (7cm long), skinned

AMATA (the association promoting modern and traditional arts and crafts) is organising a Craft Fair in the town of Onil just 35 kilometres inland from Alicante City on October 5, 6 and 7. The Craft Fair will be combined with so many other activities that a visit to this picturesque mountain village during that weekend is sure to be of interest. Local products will be on sale, there will be a children’s fun fair, workshops and art exhibitions, local bars and restaurants will offer special tapas and regional dishes, you can take a guided walk through the surrounding mountains, watch folk dancing and see six short films in a mini film festival. In addition all museums will have an open day on Saturday when there are fireworks once it gets dark. Bajoqueta Rock (who are known to dress up as their

favourite musicians including Freddie Mercury in a dress) and metal band Perversio will be playing late on Saturday night in a concert organised as part of the festivities. The Craft Fair has been put together to promote modern and traditional arts and crafts in the region and will be set open in the vicinity of the Palacio del Marques de Dos Aguas, an impressive 16th century fortress palace right in the heart of the old town. As well as 25 stalls with all sorts of goods made by the stallholders, there will be workshops for children and several crafts people will also be working at their stalls with every stand offering something different, from ceramics to furniture from recycled wood, from leather bags and belts to children’s toys and tiny little figures made of acorns. There will be several stalls

Chicken satay with a peanut butter sauce

EASY TO COOK: Chicken satay. and chopped 4 whole chilli peppers, deseeded and chopped (more if you want heat) 2 teaspoons salt, optional 2 teaspoons black peppercorns, ground 1 large bunch cilantro leaves, chopped 4 tablespoons soy sauce 4 teaspoons roasted sesame seed oil Juice of 2 limes 2 cups water 1. Make the satay chicken. 2. Prepare chicken, put to one side. 3. Take two bowls mix crushed peanuts with chilli powder, salt, sugar and black pepper in one, vegetable oil and lime juice in the other. 4. Dip chicken in lime juice/oil and then coat with peanuts. 5. Place in oven proof dish with two tablespoons of oil and coat by gently rotat-

ing and agitating the dish until the encrusted chicken is fully coated with oil. 6. Place in the oven for about 20 minutes (200 Celsius fan oven or 220 Celsius non-fan oven), or until cooked through. 7. Take out of oven and put to one side. 8. Make the sauce. 9. Place oil in pan and heat add spring onion, garlic, ginger and chilli. 10. Fry for five minutes add peanut butter, salt, black pepper, cilantro, sesame seed oil, lime juice and water, stir until it has a double cream consistency and is heated through. 11. Serve. Tip: I have said this before, but it is worth repeating for those readers who are new to this column. Any meat, fish or vegetable ‘encrusted’ (I can’t think of a better adjective to describe a coated and fried or roasted foodstuff, it would also apply to bread-crumbed or battered fish, meat or vegetable) can be tested to see if it is cooked properly, simply tap it with a metal spoon. If the tap does not elicit a ‘resonant’ sound but a ‘squelchy’ one, it needs further cooking.

IN AUGUST: Contraband presented Cancer Care Javea with a cheque for €620.

Living today, with hope for tomorrow CONTRABAND a Costa Blanca five-piece group was formed mainly to allow its talented members to earn funds for different charitable organisations. The music the band plays covers a wide range of different genres from classic hits to Latin to laid back jazz to country and western, 60’s favourites and rock’n’roll so every gig promises to satisfy all musical tastes.

They are due to headline a fundraiser for Cancer Care Javea and Catland (the first Javea Cat Refuge) at Mr Punch in Javea Park on Saturday October 6 at a cost of €15 per person which includes a bottle of wine for each couple.

What a nanny state we’re in cheers! Make mine a double!

Nora Johnson

Breaking Views 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

HOT on the heels of World Health Organisation reports that the UK’s the third fattest nation in Europe - fuelled by a diet of booze - we now have the head of Public Health England instructing middle-aged drinkers to aim at two booze-free days a week. Phew, whatever next! Some see this as an example of the Nanny State at its most patronising and absurd. But I don’t agree. The government spends a lot of taxpayers’ mon e y f o r m u l a t i n g th is g u id a n ce which is aimed at our very best interests. Of that I am in no doubt. That’s why I take every pronouncement most seriously and follow every bit of advice meticulously. Which I’m happy now to pass on to you... A l wa y s e n su r e y o u ea t s ix , o r may b e se v e n . . . o r i s it eig h t. . . n o wait... five pieces of fruit and vegetables e a c h d a y. Do n ’t s mo k e , ev er. Never use a ladder or other ‘dangerous’ piece of equipment unless you’re accompanied by two others, one to hold it, the other to supervise.

CHEERS: Drinkers live longer than non-drinkers. Keep your coffee intake under two cups a day. Hang on... make that one cup, just to be totally safe. Visit government-funded health advice sites every day to keep tabs on the latest guidance, and follow it scrupulously. Be extremely careful when making ‘jokes.’ In all probability you will offend someone, and this could be dangerous both for you and society at large. If in doubt, seek advice from the government-sponsored website ‘It’s healthy to laugh, but not at others.’

Finally and back to the real world, it’s always wise, when idiotic advice like this latest example crops up, to remember the old joke about the man who asked his GP: “If I never drink, never smoke, remain on a diet and abstain from sex, will I live to be 100?” GP: “No, but it’ll feel like it.” It was only recently I read somewhere that drinkers live longer than non-drinkers. But the logic of two ‘dry’ days a week is somehow compelling. Mine are mañana and the day after. What are yours? Double G&T, anyone?

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Who is responsible for water leak? I have an underground garage space in our building. Last week I observed water dripping from the ceiling. The floor was already covered with water and my golf cart was damaged. I informed the community administration, who informed their insurance company. The next day a plumber sent by the insurance came to find the cause. At that time the water dripping had stopped. The plumber told me that the water drip was caused when the water company changed a water meter. I expected the insurance of the community to cover the damage. The administration informed me that their insurance company does not cover the damage as the cause was not a broken water pipe. I cannot accept this and ask you how to proceed. P M (Costa Blanca) I hope that by David Searl the time you You and the Law read this, someone has in Spain told you that you should proceed against the insurance providers of the water company. They caused the drip. I am surprised that your community administration did not tell you this and offer to help you make the contact. A report from the community administration will carry more weight than a private complaint.

OR many people buying a property on one of Spain’s beautiful Costas or islands is not simply a matter of finding somewhere to live, it is also a question of buying into a lifestyle. This is something that needs to be taken account initially when finding the perfect location for your Spanish home. Factors such as privacy or proximity to facilities like restaurants, bars, doctors and schools need to be thought about. Do you want to be near the beach or in the mountains, in a quiet spot or near a vibrant nightlife also needs to be considered. Fortunately in Spain there is plenty of choice to suit whatever lifestyle you feel most comfortable with. But this idea of lifestyle is not just about where you live - it comes into your home too. The best architects have long understood the lifestyle concept, and also know how this is a constantly changing theme, which evolves through the years. At the moment the trend for new built homes is for light and airy interiors.

Remember – style sells These are often open plan with spaces that flow naturally from one living area to another and eventually out onto expansive terraces and balconies. It is the very definition of the ‘indoor-outdoor’ lifestyle so many people aspire to. With construction well into a new boom the most desirable properties account for this, with crisp

lines defining the outside and open spaces defining in the inside. For those wishing to sell a property that is perhaps not ‘on trend’ there are some things you can do to help. Your real estate professional should be able to help you with advice, and indeed many offer a ‘home dressing’ service to

They lead the first five that also include Cyprus, Greece and Malta, although they have all leapfrogged Turkey due to the increasing security and political issues. Making it into the list for the first time in a number of years is Croatia. Much of the renewed interest in purchasing property there has been due, in no uncertain terms, to the popularity of the TV series that everyone seems to be watching... Game of Thrones. By far, Spain is still the favourite place to buy a holiday home and after a slowdown due to the economic crisis that hit in 2008 and saw buyers dropping off, the market has picked up at a more than impressive rate over the past 12 months.

Brexit or occasional poor exchange rates are always overcome by the wish to experience the climate, the lifestyle, and the price of property in Spain. Affordability is the big driver of where people buy, and three popular locations on the Costa Blanca are Torrevieja, Camposol and Villamartin. The top 10 also includes Marbella and Estepona, as well as Mojacar, Bedar, Albox and Arboleas in the Almeria region. Coming up on the rails, one of the fastest rising among property locations is Lanzarote which has been popular for some winter sun breaks for many years with temperatures rarely dropping below a comfortable 22ºC. Granada, Almeria. Ibiza and Cordoba are on the Canary Island’s heels.

Novel ideas for small spaces THERE’S no better place than a balcony to bring the outside into your apartment. They may be smaller than a courtyard, terrace or garden, but they don’t have to be neglected or claustrophobic. With a bit of time and thought, you can create a wonderfully cosy space and let your imagination go wild. Fairy lights using coloured or large bulbs can provide attractive night lighting. Use soft bulbs for a romantic feel or coloured versions for a party atmosphere. Cover walls and ceiling with artificial vines and place terracotta style vases in corners with wicker chairs and a small side table to create a garden style balcony. Or place soft, plush cushions on benches to create more seating space if you like to have guests. You could even hang a swinging chair from the ceiling, freeing up the floor space for pretty rugs or a feature floor. During the summer months, why not place a small, child-size bed in one

Junk mail is not very subtle, so instead of dumping it on the kitchen table with the intention of ‘possibly’ looking at it later, put it straight in the recycling bin. Try to open all mail next to wherever you file it, with a waste paper bin at hand. This way you can file and dispose at the same time. Alternatively, organise electronic delivery of your bank and bill statements. Everyone loves a freebie, but if it was vital to your life, the chances are you would have to pay for it. And while out and about shopping, make a list or stick to a budget to prevent any unnecessary purchases. Consider every item you buy as another piece of ‘potential clutter’. Try to establish a place for everything and get into a routine of putting things away after use, it will soon become a habit. Operate a one-for-one process with books, clothes and toys. If you have read it, used it or outgrown it, donate or recycle it. It’s a good idea to keep a charity box in the shed, conservatory or pantry to collect items which can be given to a good cause once a month.

HOME & GARDENS

EASY: Grow your own at home.

Worth giving it a crack CONTRARY to popular belief, the peanut is not a nut, it’s a vegetable which belongs to the legume family, along with peas and beans. A great source of protein, the peanut is extremely versatile and can be enjoyed in its natural form or used in a host of dishes. And growing your own couldn’t be easier, especially here in Spain. They need full sun. If you have heavy soil, ensure good drainage by working in enough organic matter to make it loose. Peanuts come in their shells and can be planted hulled or unhulled. But if you do shell them, removed the thin covering or the seed won’t germinate. They should be planted two inches deep and five inches apart in rows two to three feet apart. Firm the soil and water well. When a peanut plant is about a foot tall, create a hill of earth around the base. Long, pointed pegs, also known as peduncles, will grow from faded flowers and then push up to three inches down into the soil beside the plant. A nut will form on the end of each peg.

Place a light mulch of straw or grass clippings, to stop the soil from forming a crust to allow the pegs to penetrate the soil. One inch of water a week is sufficient for a peanut plant. As part of the legumes family, peanuts supply their own nitrogen so it’s advisable to avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers which promote foliage rather than fruits. Well-prepared soil will provide all the nutrients the plants need. You can harvest the crop when leaves turn yellow and the peanuts’ inner shell have gold-marked veins. This can be checked every now and again by pulling out a few nuts from the soil and shelling them. If left too long, the pegs will become brittle and the pods will break off in the ground. This will make them harder to retrieve. Dig up or pull out the plants and roots when the soil is moist. Shake off excess soil and dry the plants out in an airy place until the leaves become crumbly. Then remove the pods. If stored in airtight containers, unshell the peanuts and keep for up to a year.

WITH more and more people owning properties in Spain and spending a large part of their year here, pet travel has increased dramatically with owners preferring to bring their animals with them rather than leave them at home for any length of time. Pets accompanying their owners on a trip to Spain can be accepted as luggage when the corresponding excess baggage tariff has been paid (regardless of the class in which the passenger is to fly). As a general rule, these animals must be checked in and loaded into the hold of the aircraft, where they will be placed in a container (which some airlines can provide) but to be on the safe side it is worth purchasing your own carrier which is IATA approved (and will have a sticker or label stating this). As only certain airlines and airports in the UK have the facilities to transport pets, (BA being the main carrier).

PETS PAGE www.euroweeklynews.com

Flying with pets

READY: Pets deserve a holiday too. When making a booking for you and your pet check first that the necessary transport can be arranged.

Animals must carry the correct documentation, either with a pet passport or veterinary certificate or

with all required vaccinations (in some countries with an evaluation of antibodies). All animals are iden-

tified by a microchip, and you need the correct documentation for this. Preparing pets for travel can be a lengthy business, with all the health checks, documentation and pet passport. So if you are thinking about bringing your pet into Spain make sure you leave plenty of time to make the necessary arrangements. You can find more information on the Pets Travel Scheme (PETS) for the UK at www.defra.co.uk. Guide dogs trained to accompany a passenger with a disability will usually travel in the cabin, unless prohibited by national regulations or the airlines. The dog’s transport, whether in the hold or in the cabin, will not be chargeable. It is not necessary to carry out any special procedure, but the dog must wear a muzzle, collar and lead. If the dog is to travel in the cabin, it will be placed next to the passenger in a place indicated by the crew.

Shopping this week? Nick Horne The Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IT’S Monday again and where would you like to be this week? The weather is looking a little dodgy locally and almost anywhere else appeals. The plan for the week ahead could include the Cote D’ Azur and the Principality of Monaco where the annual Monaco Yacht Show will be in full swing. You could do worse than swing by the Casino, the Hermitage Hotel or if you are of a more modernist bent the Fairmont Hotel. Conveniently located on the classic Formula One race series of turns the ‘Hair Pins’; in any event everything is nearby in Monaco. Even the views of the sea are pretty good if you have the right rooms, the food is definitely moreish wherever you choose. The shopping opportunities are also first class. Retail therapy of very specific

kinds may be embarked upon. Handbags? Jewellery? Cars? Yachts? Nope, this time it’s going to a helicopter! As Fredric Lemos, Head of Airbus Corporate Helicopters pointed out in re a s s u ri ngly bla nd c orpora te s pe a k: “With approximately 300 helicopter capable yachts worldwide there are increasing requirements for more reliable compact and versatile helicopters capable of transporting passengers and cargo in all environments.” Seems like the essential retail therapy of this week! A helicopter is a much more stylish way to arrive. On a yacht. At home or when just hoping to annoy a dear friend by dropping in for a pot of Assam tea. The down wash from the rotating blades will overwhelm whatever leaf blower the gardener is using! The brand new ACH 135 then looks like essential diversion of the week.

Just 275 examples will be built and they’re all sold, while the project is on schedule to deliver the first examples in 2020. Project One’s top speed is as yet unspecified, but 0-62mph acceleration is expected to take about two seconds. Moers said: “It’s ambitious, and we’ve had our journey, but now we’re back on track. “The biggest challenge has been powertrain, not durability but On Board Diagnostics, which is a dif-

German collusion probe GERMANY’S car giants are being investigated by EU authorities, who suspect they colluded to delay development of anti-pollution systems for petrol and diesel cars. Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said BMW,

Daimler and VW are suspected of agreeing a deal not to compete against each other in the roll out for the systems. ‘If proven, this collusion may have denied consumers the opportunity to buy less polluting cars, despite the technol-

ogy being available to the manufacturers.’ The investigation is focused on talks between the car makers about catalytic systems to cut the level of nitrous oxides pumped out by diesel cars and filters to trap particles from petrol engines. The probe into what the EU is calling the ‘circle of five’ BMW, Mercedes-owner Daimler, and VW, including its Audi and Porsche divisions - began last year with raids on the car makers. If found guilty of collusion, the companies could face multi-billion euro fines. However, companies which blow the whistle on collusion can largely escape such penalties and according to reports, Daimler and VW are working with EU authorities. BMW called the investigation a ‘formal step which does not prejudge the outcome’ and said it would not comment on the latest investigation, except to point out it is concerned with alleged collusion, not ‘a targeted manipulation of exhaust gas treatment’.

Red bandwagon rolls on The marquee summer signing tapped in his first goal, and City’s fourth, after an incisive team move before whipping in his second late on. The champions were already out of sight by half-time, leading 3-0 thanks to Sergio Aguero’s sweeping finish, a clever looping header from Bernado Silva and Ilkay Gundogan’s classy curling effort. Cardiff are still searching for their first win this season, and will entertain Burnley on Sunday, while Man City will play Brighton at home on Saturday. Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech said his side was building momentum after his man-of-the-match performance helped the Gunners see off Everton for a fourth straight league win. Two goals in three second-half minutes gave the hosts victory, with

La Liga Preview

Asensio is the Real deal REAL MADRID briefly moved to the top of La Liga after Marco Asensio’s VAR-awarded strike proved enough to edge Espanyol 1-0. Asensio drilled in a low show just before the break when Luka Modric’s effort deflected into his path, with the goal given after a lengthy review. Borjas Iglesias hit the crossbar for the spirited visitors with a deft chip, as Real’s underwhelming display left them fortunate to take all three points. Isco and Asensio once again showed how vital they will be to the new era at Real, the Spain pair being key to most of their side’s play. Los Blancos will host rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday, while Espanyol will travel to strugglers Real Valladolid on Friday. Gerard Pique rescued 10-man Barcelona in a pulsating Catalan derby against Girona after Clement Lenglet was shown a red card at the Nou Camp. Barca were leading 1-0 when defender Lenglet was dismissed in the 35th minute for elbowing Pere Pons. Girona levelled through Cristhian Stuani before the Uruguay forward rifled the visitors into the lead. Despite playing with a man down, Barca carved out the better chances and Pique deservedly headed in the equaliser for 2-2, to restore his side to the top of the league. Barca will host Athletic Bilbao on Saturday, while Girona will travel to Huesca on Sunday.

RESCUE ACT: Marco Asensio’s goal proved key for Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid warmed up for their derby against Real with a 2-0 win at Getafe, with an own goal by keeper David Soria setting them on their way. Thomas Lemar’s 30-yard shot came back off the crossbar before hitting Soria on the back and rolling in. Atletico were far from their fluent best but Lemar doubled the lead after the interval with a composed finish. Diego Simeone’s side are up to fifth in the table after a first away win, while 10th placed Getafe will face Celta Vigo on Monday looking to stay in touch with the leading pack. Other fixtures this weekend will see Levante host Alaves, Sevilla travel to EIbar and Real Sociedad entertain Valencia.

Radcliffe rails against WADA THE reinstatement of Russia’s anti-doping agency undermines the faith clean athletes have in the World Anti-Doping Agency, says marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe. Wada has ended a three-year suspension which followed a major scandal over alleged state-sponsored doping. Briton Radcliffe is one of several leading current and former athletes to criticise the decision.

“This goes against everything Wada is supposed to stand for,” she said. “It undermines their credibility and the faith clean athletes have in them.” Wada president Sir Craig Reedie said the reinstatement, agreed by its executive committee at a meeting in the Seychelles, was “subject to strict conditions,” including giving access to data and samples from the Moscow laboratory.

LIVERPOOL won a seventh straight game in all competitions from the start of a season for the first time in 28 years by easing past Southampton at Anfield. The hosts took the lead after 10 minutes when the influential Xherdan Shaqiri’s shot deflected off Shane Long and Wesley Hoedt for a bizarre own goal. Joel Matip then headed in from a corner before Mohamed Salah pounced on the crossbar rebound of Shaqiri’s superb free-kick. “I wasn’t interested in the history before the game but now I like it,” said manager Jurgen Klopp, whose team will face Chelsea away on Saturday, while Southampton will travel to Wolverhampton. Riyad Mahrez scored his first goals for Man City as they thrashed Cardiff City 5-0 in a clinical display.

RIDING HIGH: Marquez has stretched his lead in the title race.

Marquez win extends lead WORLD champion Marc Marquez claimed his first win in four Moto GP races after a tremendous battle with Andrea Dovizioso in Aragon. The pair were at the front for almost the entire race after pole-sitter Jorge Lorenzo crashed out on the opening turn. Suzuki’s Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins tried to close the gap late on but Honda rider Marquez took control in the last three laps and held on to win his home grand prix. The 25-year-old Spaniard’s last win came in Germany in July, five rounds ago, including the abandoned Silverstone meeting. Marquez, who now leads Dovizioso by 72 points in the standings with five races to go, opted to use soft tyres in the searing heat of Spain while many of his rivals used harder tyres. The start of the race saw Lorenzo go wide and he crashed out for the second

race in a row. In a relatively slow-paced race, Marquez and Dovizioso fought it out and as the lead changed hands, Iannone and Rins were poised to seize on

any mistakes. However, they were not given a chance and Marquez went past his rival again with five laps to go to claim his 41st MotoGP career win.

ANTHONY JOSHUA delivered a stunning finish to knock out Alexander Povetkin and retain his world heavyweight titles at Wembley Stadium. The IBF, WBO and WBA champion, produced a punishing seventh-round stoppage of the Russian, who had never been beaten inside the distance. Early on though it was Povetkin who appeared the more inspired by the occasion, despite the constant boos and jeers from the partisan crowd, and he caught Joshua in the first round with an uppercut to the nose.

PUNCH DRUNK: Joshua displayed his world class ability in the fight. challenger had no answer. Another right-left combination downed Povetkin, who somehow made the count, only to stumble into a left hook and a further flurry of punches on the ropes which forced referee Steve Gray to intervene. Joshua had showcased his poise, intellect and devastating power, sending a message to the heavyweight division that the champion will take some stopping.

He had even been suffering from flu during his preparations and had a problem with his right hand before the fight, but said: “I knew he was strong in the head but weak to the body, I was just mixing it up. “It could have been seven, maybe nine, maybe 12 rounds to get him out of there, but the ultimate aim was to be victorious. “And I got my knockout streak back.”

TIGER’S BACK: Tiger Woods celebrates his first tour title in five years.

Tiger pounces on win AN emotional Tiger Woods completed an astonishing comeback to win the season-ending Tour Championship by two shots and record his first win in five years. The 42-year-old’s victory in Atlanta was his 80th PGA tour title - only fellow American Sam Snead has more - but his first since August 2013. Less than a year ago he was 1,199 in the world after spinal fusion surgery, the latest of multiple operations. “I was having a hard time not crying on that last hole,” said Woods. “I just can’t believe I’ve pulled this off.” Thousands of fans filed on to the 18th fairway to follow Woods to the green chanting

‘U-S-A’ and ‘Tiger, Tiger’ after his approach found a bunker on the edge of the green. Woods holed out for a par to complete a final round of 71 for an 11-under total before holding his arms aloft in celebration of a brilliant win just days before the Ryder Cup gets underway in Paris. England’s Justin Rose lost his world number one ranking as a result of finishing tied fourth, but secured the overall FedEx Cup which determines the season-long PGA Tour champion, the first Englishman to do so. Rose birdied the 18th at East Lake for a 73 to finish on six under and seal the top-five finish he needed to win the €8.5 million bonus on offer as FedEx Cup champion.
