Storms hammer Mallorca

THE mammoth storm ‘gota fria’ came in from the mainland and hit Mallorca with force on Tuesday. Hurricaneforce winds caused trees to fall and roads across the island were closed due to flooding. More than 5,000 lightning strikes were recorded in 24 hours and 100 litres of rain fell in just one hour in some parts of the island. The strongest gusts of wind were recorded in Cala Figuera, where they reached a speed of 131.9 kilometres per hour. Floods affected some parts of Santa Ponsa and Son

Ferrer and the emergency services have received hundreds of calls from residents whose properties have flooded around the island as well as some people having to swim from their cars as they were caught in floods. Some 1,400 people across the Balearic Islands were without electricity as power lines were damaged by the storm and Endesa worked to reconnect the power as quickly as possible. Palma Town Hall closed the beaches of Can Pere Antoni, Ciutat Jardí and Cala Major due to faecal discharges in the

Air crash victims identified THE Balearic Islands will recognise an official mourning period of three days for the tragic death of seven people in an air crash that occurred in Mallorca on Sunday. The collision between a helicopter in which a German family was travelling accompanied by an experienced Italian pilot, and an ultralight aircraft, with two occupants, has shocked residents on the island. Four of the seven deceased are members of a family from Munich. August Inselkammer, a well-known German businessman, was celebrating his 43rd birthday on the helicopter on August 25 and was accompanied by his wife, Christina, 42, and their two children, Max and Sophia, 11 and nine respectively.

CRASH SCENE: Seven people lost their lives.

Drugs bust in Calvia THE National Police successfully closed down two drug points of sale in Calvia, specifically in Santa Ponsa and Portals. The two addresses were reportedly pretending to be associations for cannabis consumers, but were in fact used to sell drugs. Four people have been arrested. The centres that were closed down had permits to operate as associations of cannabis consumers, meeting points where the drug can be consumed in the company of others. The first closure was made in a premises

run by a couple that were selling drugs in the area of Portals Nous and the couple were arrested. The second closure was in Santa Ponsa, in a pub dedicated to the sale of drugs where they also seized two illegal weapons. According to the police, the pub was equipped with ‘plenty of security measures.’ In this location, a person was arrested who had two warrants against them. In addition, a dozen people were sanctioned for possession and consumption of narcotics and 300 doses of hashish and marihuana were seized, as well as cash.

The helicopter was due to give the family a tour of the island before dropping them in Camp de Mar where they were planning to eat. At the controls of the aircraft was Cedric Leoni, 49, an experienced pilot for Fotorflug Airservices based in Son Bonet. The other two people that tragically lost their lives in the accident are Juan José Vidal Calero, a 43-year-old resident in Mallorca from Valencia and his friend, Gustavo Adolfo Serrano Zambrana, 50. According to reports, Juanjo Vidal had owned the ultralight aircraft for a couple of years and kept it in an airfield hangar in Binissalem. Authorities are still investigating what caused the tragic accident.

Alcohol abuse rise A RECENT study has shown that 7.5 per cent of the Balearic population consumes alcohol ‘intensively and problematically.’ Some 58,000 people between 15 and 64 years old are hooked on alcohol which is seen as socially acceptable to consume. This figure is more than the total population of the municipality of Calvia. Projecte Home stated that according to the report by Estudes del Govern, 78 per cent of the population had consumed alcohol in 2017, 36 per cent had smoked tobacco and 28.3 per cent had tried cannabis. Projecte Home, this year celebrating its 32nd anniversary, believes that prevention is the best way to reduce these figures and this can be achieved through community projects. The average age for a person to be dependent on alcohol is apparently quite high as the pattern begins with social drinking before becoming a necessary part of someone’s day-to-day life.

So sacred is the commodity in the area that in 1999, the local councils set up a protection project called ‘Denominación de Origen del Casar,’ to maintain the integrity of the cheese, monitoring counterfeit cheese put onto the market and giving official accreditation to genuine products.

Foreigners fined FIGURES from the National Maritime-Terrestrial Park of Cabrera reveal that 68 per cent of the infractions committed in 2018 were by foreign nationals. Some 130 sanctions were issued last year, 89 of them to foreigners. The total amount of the fines that were issued was €37,710. Sailing in the area without permission is not allowed and 22.3 per cent of the fines were issued for this. The most frequent cause of the sanctions are irregularities linked to the anchoring of boats, such as spending the night on the island without having requested permission or exceeding the authorised time, with 53 sanctions, 40.7 per cent of all those imposed. Six further fines were also issued for recreational fishing and 20 fines were imposed for flying drones, smoking, or walking in unauthorised areas.

The man reportedly raised suspicion due to his nervousness and profuse sweating during a routine check by National Police. After questioning the man, officers discovered that he was acting as a ‘mule’ and, therefore, there was a good chance that he would have more drugs in his body. He was then taken to the Manacor hospital where xrays detected 43 foreign bodies lodged in his intestine. Once they were expelled, 63 hashish dates weighing half a kilo were counted.

Cemetery neglect THE municipality of Manacor has called a press conference to explain the ‘negligence for 40 years of technicians and delegates’ of the town cemetery. Mayor Oliver and councillors Grimalt and Hinojosa explained to the press the details of the discovery of more than 200 unburied remains in three rooms at the cemetery. The discovery of these rooms revealed ‘corpses in novopan boxes in several rows in a state of mummification,’ Grimalt said, and it has been a topic of conversation since the discovery last Thursday. It seems the remains were moved due to a structural situation that resulted in refurbishment works at the cemetery in 1982, but the corpses were never returned once the works were completed. Asked about the exact number of bodies found, the mayor said “we have not re-entered the rooms, which are sealed. Once the investigation is finished, an way to normalise the situation will be found.”

POORLY: Fifty-one people have suffered severe food poisoning after eating at a restaurant on Calle Blanquerna.

Food poisoning affects 51 THE Ministry of Health has confirmed that 51 people were poisoned after eating at a Japanese restaurant located on Calle Blanquerna in Palma last weekend. “Right now the cases are being treated by the department of epidemiology,” said the councillor. Gomez explained that the patients were asked where they had eaten and when the same restaurant was mentioned, an investigation was launched and the restaurant was closed on Sunday as a precaution. Inspectors went to the restaurant to try and locate the source of the poisoning. “At the moment the patients in Son Llatzer and Son Espases are being cultured to investigate

whether the cause has been a virus or a bacterium, nothing is discarded,” said Gómez and it is possible that there are more people suffering that have not been to the hospital. The people suffering with the food poisoning began to feel bad after eating in the restaurant last weekend and went to hospital with all the symptoms of severe gastroenteritis and two have been diagnosed with salmonella poisoning. The Minister of Health also ruled out that there may be outbreaks of listeria in the Balearic Islands “because the contaminated meat has not been distributed here, but someone may have gone to Andalucia and returned to Mallorca.”

POLICE in Esporles have arrested a man for allegedly starting three forest fires in the area last week. The suspect, a 45-year-old German man, was picked up by police in the area of Son Quint, where the last fire was started on Sunday. He was reportedly carrying fire lighters and sources claim evidence suggests he was trying to start another fire. The suspect resisted arrest, according to police sources, and offered no explanation for his alleged involvement in the events. The Local Police arrested the suspect and investigated whether he could also be behind two arson attacks on vehicles this month in Esporles and Palma. The first fire was started on August 19 at midnight next to Camí d’es Correu, between Esporles and Banyalbufar. The fire was tackled by firefighters who worked until 6pm the following day to extinguish the fire which destroyed 6,000 square metres of pine forest. Two days later, at around 2pm, another fire was started in the same area. On this occasion planes were brought in to extinguish the fire, which caused alarm due to the proximity of houses. The rapid intervention of the emergency teams prevented the fire from spreading and only 100 square metres of pine forest were burned. Finally, another 2,000 square metres of pine forest were burned in the Son Quint area a few days later. The fire started at 7am and firefighters worked until

Boris Johnson suspends Parliament with Queen’s approval By Ben Mulvey THE suspension of Parliament will be in effect from September 10 until October 14, just two weeks before the proposed date for Brexit of October 31. The move was proposed to prevent MPs from blocking the UK from leaving the European Union, it is alleged. The Prime Minister asked for the Queen’s permission yesterday morning (Wednesday) before sending a letter to every MP detailing his plans. The Queen’s role in suspending the parliamentary session was predominantly procedural and she officially approved it by yesterday afternoon. In the letter to MPs the Prime Minister said: “This morning I spoke to Her Majesty The Queen to request an end to the current parliamentary session in the second sitting week in September, before commencing the second session of this Parliament with a

Queen’s speech on Monday October 14. “A central feature of the legislative programme will be the Government’s number one legislative priority, if a new deal is forthcoming at EU Council, to introduce a Withdrawal Agreement Bill and move at pace to secure its passage before October 31. “Member States are watching what Parliament does with great interest and it is only by showing unity and resolve that we stand a chance of securing a new deal that can be passed by Parliament,” he said. “In the meantime, the Government will take the responsible approach of continuing its preparations for leaving the EU, with or without a deal. “Should I succeed in agreeing a deal with the EU, Parliament will then have the opportunity to pass the Bill required for ratification of the deal ahead of October 31, he said. The controversial move has sparked fury in the

country with politicians believing that Johnson has ‘sidelined Parliament’ and Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader has accused him of launching a ‘smash and grab against our democracy’ and has written to the Queen to express his concern and request a meeting at the palace. Boris Johnson has defended his decision by saying “there will be ample time both sides of that crucial October 17 summit, ample time, in Parliament for MPs to debate the EU, to debate Brexit and all the other issues.” As a result of this decision the pound has crashed by more than 1 per cent against the euro and the dollar, several Tory remainers said that they would back a vote of no confidence in Johnson’s government and opposition MPs have suggested that they will not leave the commons if the doors to Parliament are closed.

The Ambassador takes up this new role having previously been Director of Communications in the Department for Exiting the European Union. On his arrival, Hugh Elliott said: “With a wealth of cultural, commercial, and people-topeople links, the relationship between the UK and Spain is like no other, and I am proud and honoured to represent my Queen and country here in Spain.” For the Ambassador, this strong connection with Spain has been an important part of his life for decades. “I met my wife Toni while working as an English teacher at the University of Salamanca, Spain was my first diplomatic posting in the nineties and my two children were born in Madrid. I can understand why so many UK nationals have chosen to make Spain their home,” he said. He added: “We are approaching an important milestone as the UK prepares to leave the European Union on October 31.” His message was one of reassurance to UK nationals currently living in Spain, saying: “We’ve given EU citizens living in the UK the legal certainty of their right to live and remain in the United Kingdom. And I’m very pleased that the Spanish government has put in place, through the Royal Decree, the same guarantees for British citizens in Spain.” Mr Elliott acknowledged that people have questions

Organ donation LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics. As of 2010, Spain has operated an ‘optout’ (or presumed consent) system for deceased organ donation. This addresses the rate or refusal of poten tial donors or their families in giving permission for the use of organs. The rate of family refusal in Spain is 13 per cent, compared to 37 per cent in England (according to the National Transplant Organisation figures ONT). According to the ONT, Brits living in Spain are more likely to donate their organs than their countrymen back home. It’s not necessary to have a donor card. What is important is to let family members and loved ones know your wishes in terms of organ donation. Figures published by the Spanish ONT in 2017 put the country as world leader in donation and transplants, reaching a new record with 46.9 donors per million people and 5.261 transplants. Spain has been a global leader in organ donation and transplantation for the past 26 years. Broken down by organ, there were 3,269 kidney surgeries (up 9 per cent on 2016), 1,247 liver transplants (up 8 per cent), 304 heart procedures (8 per cent rise), 363 lung surgeries (up 18 per cent), 70 pancreas trans plants (down 4 per cent) and eight bowel surgical procedures (up 100 per cent). According to the National Transplant Organisation (ONT), these surgeries are equivalent to six donors and 14 surgical procedures a day. In addition, Spain saw a new record in bone marrow donation last year, with 78,291 new donors and an increase of 196 per cent over the previ ous year. At this rate, the country could reach its target of 400,000 bone marrow donors well before the mid2020 goal. In Spain the number of those on the waiting list was reduced to 4,896 in 2017, from 5,480, although the number of children waiting for organs in creased to 74, from 48 a year earlier. Lung and heart are viable for 46 hours after death, liver and pancreas 24 hours, kidney 72 hours, corneas 14 days, bone and skin five years, and heart valves up to 10 years. Small intestines, veins, tendons and liga ments can also be donated. A single organ donor can save up to eight people and a single tissue donor may enhance the lives of up to 50 people. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

In an interview with ITV after the conference Johnson said that if the UK does come out of the EU without a deal then “the £39bn is no longer, strictly speaking, owed.” The Sunday Times reported British Government lawyers had decided the amount the UK owed the EU is as little as £7bn whilst Sky news believes that this figure is closer to £9bn. An EU spokesperson has stated that the full £39bn payout would still be owed even if the UK left the EU without a deal as it was money borrowed during Britain’s involvement with the EU. Boris Johnson on the other hand believes that the entire EU board is well aware that this is not the case.

Realistic solution must be found THE G7 Summit was a tumultuous event for the UK Prime-Minister Boris Johnson over the weekend as he faced Donald Tusk and the EU board of directors in a debate as to whose responsibility it is to take the first steps towards a new Brexit deal whilst insisting that the UK is well prepared to exit the EU without a deal. Johnson was firm in his approach that the UK is well prepared for a No Deal scenario, stating in an interview after the first day of the gathering that the country could ‘easily cope.’ He was quoted by the BBC as saying that, “it all depends on our EU friends and partners” whilst Tusk expressed the opposite by stating that the ball was in

subject of great interest at the summit as it was one of the

main reasons why Theresa May’s deal did not get through parliament. Tusk said that he was open to considering new alternatives to the backstop if they were realistic and implementable. He reiterated much of what he and the EU directors said before on the matter, that Brussels is not willing to outright scrap the backstop that would potentially leave the UK in the jurisdiction of the EU. German Prime Minister Angela Merkel was reported as saying that there was the possibility for an alternative to the Irish backstop, but held the same position as Donald Tusk when eluding to the matter of whose responsibility it was to come up with the solution.

BREXIT EXTRA Companies want out NEW Business Secretary, Andrea Leadsom claims UK businesses are getting impatient with the current hedging taking place in Brexit negotiations and want a decisive conclusion. Leadsom has had talks with several big UK businesses.

UK deal BORIS JOHN SON has claimed that Donald Trump wants to strike a deal with the UK within a year following talks at the G7 summit. The Prime Minister said that Trump had likened the EU to an ‘anchor’ around the ankles of Britain.

No confidence THE Labour party is debating if stopping Boris Johnson taking the UK out of Europe by force is still possible. Jeremy Hunt has called for all opposition parties to call for a vote of no confidence and back him in a general election, but other MPs have proposed action.

Gowex boss faces trial

JENARO GARCÍA, founder of Gowex is to go to trial and faces up to 18 years in prison on fraudulent share price manipulation charges. The telecommunications/wifi company is alleged to have system atically invented an income stream that did not exist and therefore raised the company’s stock valua tion. A high court judge has ordered that oral proceedings should begin against García, for whom the anti corruption prosecutor is asking for 18 years imprisonment, García’s wife and Gowex advisor Florencia Maté.

By Dilip Kuner Also involved in proceedings are the secretary of the Board of Direc tors, Francisco Manuel Martínez, and company administrator Ignacio Navarro, and the companies Let’s Gowex and Gowex Wireless. The judge is also investigating three other people Tania Roel Mosquera, Ramón Peláez and Hugo Daniel Marías as ‘partici pants for profit,’ while he has cleared Guadalupe Esmeralda Almeida Figueroa and Javier

Martín Vaquero, people to whom Jenaro García granted the position of proxies of some of the related companies. The Gowex scandal broke in the summer of 2014 after a report by the consulting firm Gotham City Research which warned that the real value of the company’s securi ties was zero euros and that 90 per cent of its sales did not really exist. The Public Prosecutor’s Office also wants García to be fined €10.2 mil lion as well as the confiscation of the profits obtained from the sale of Let’s Gowex.

Flying cheap BUDGET airline Iberia Express has launched a campaign of dis counts of up to 35 per cent for internal Spanish flights called #SpanishAdventure.

New boss SALES DOWN: Car industry is experiencing a downturn.

Car sales down

CAR and SUV registrations experienced a 37.4 per cent drop in the first 20 days of August, to 30,691 units, according to data from the National Association of Vendors of Motor Vehicles, Re pair and Spare Parts (Ganvam). This sharp decline in the annual comparison is explained by the entry into force, on September 1, 2018, of the new WLTP emissions regulations, which led brands to give big discounts to reduce their stocks of nonapproved vehicles. This generated a sharp increase in registrations in August 2018. In the year so far up until August 20, the Spanish market saw a total volume of 839,850 units sold, which translates into a fall of 7.7 per cent. Company fleet purchases fell the least at 265,480 units, (2.7 per cent fewer), followed by hire companies, with 202,138 units, (3.1 per cent) and private sales were at 372,232 units, (13.1 per cent).

It finally announced the event through so cial networks as part of a ‘solve the riddle’ competition asking ‘What is going to hap pen?’ The general manager of AliExpress Spain, Estela Ye, commented last July in an inter view with Efe that it expected to finish the year with 10,000 Spanish companies on the platform.

Eurozone economic weakness EUROZONE economic activity continues to show signs of weakness, according to the PMI index. The IHS Markit indicator stood at 51.8 points this month, c o m p a r e d t o 5 1 .5 p o i n t s i n J u l y. I t i s one of the lowest increases recorded in the last six years. The gross domestic product (GDP) of the euro area saw second quarter g r o w t h o f 0 .2 p e r cent, half that in the first, and Germany recorded a contraction of 0.1 per cent. In recent months, growth in the services sector had offset a decline in manufacturing. H o w e v e r, A u g u s t saw a reversal and, as a result, companies were more cautious about hiring staff. I n i n d u s t r y, n e w orders have suffered from a decline in exports (including in intra-euro area trade). In addition, confidence in business activity over the next 12 months fell sharply in August. “Sentiment has fallen to its lowest level since May 2013, and has weakened in both manufacturing and services. “There has been some optimism in France and the rest of the euro area as a whole, while German firms expressed pessimism about the outlook for future business activity for the first time in almost five years,” says the IHS Markit report.

Banks on Brexit alert THE possibility of a no deal Brexit is gaining strength and has put the Spanish banking sector on alert. Santander, which makes 13 per cent of its profit in the UK, and Sabadell, owner since 2014 of the TSB are particularly exposed. Both have prepared contingency plans for all scenarios, including the worst scenario. Their businesses in the UK are susceptible to a fall in economic activity and demand for credit. A fall in the value of the pound, which has already lost 16 per cent of its value against the euro since the 2016 referendum and 2.2 per cent since Boris Johnson was elect ed Prime Minister is also bad news for the banks. In its latest financial report, San tander admits that a no deal Brexit could have ‘material adverse ef fects’ on its access to capital and liquidity. It also acknowledges that it could have ‘significant repercus sions’ on operations, profitability and business. To minimise the impact of Brexit, Santander agreed last year to move

its investment banking division from London to Madrid. Sabadell, for its part, faces the risk of a hard Brexit spoiling its plans to extract value from the pur chase of TSB, now that it has al ready left behind the problems caused by the complex technologi cal migration last year. This caused an additional cost of €321 million in the 2018 accounts.

The goal is for the UK to con tribute 20 per cent of the group's profit by 2021, but that could be optimistic if there is a disorderly ex it. The English bank is currently run ning at a loss. In its halfyearly report, Sabadell admits that if the UK leaves the EU in October without an agreement there would be ‘a significant drop in foreign trade for the UK’ and that

Iberdrola is also studying pro jects in the region for another €903 million as part of its initial contribution to the Oaxaca Pact, signed last week by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin) and nine governors of the coun try, the company has reported.

Jobless foreigner numbers down THE number of foreigners unemployed in Spain stood at 362,296 by the end of July, its lowest level since Oc tober 2008, according to data from the Public Service of State Employment (SEPE).

In addition, practi cally six out of 10 worked in the service sector and 16 per cent belonged to the group without previous em ployment.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I’M just not too sure about all this global warm ing, climate change and carbon emission con troversy. There is of course no doubt that the Earth’s climate is shifting. The floods, storms and melting Polar caps are positive proof of that. I’m just not quite convinced that the rea sons for these phenomenas are actually those that all the ‘greenies’ and tree huggers would lead us to believe. After all, there were no carbon spewing au tos, jet guzzlers or farting livestock, (excluding the dinosaurs of course) when the world en dured its Ice Ages and oceans receded to reveal previously sunken mountains across the sur face of the Earth. One of the facts our ‘saviours’ of the planet seem to conveniently ignore, are the movements of the globe itself. Our wondrous ‘spaceship’ does not revolve smoothly on its axis. It does in fact ‘wobble’ slightly. The smallest shift of such a vast body can of course have an enormous effect on its climate. This happens roughly every 26,000 years and, according to scientists, at this mo ment in time we are also in the middle of our fifth major ice age. Bearing all this in mind, it stands to reason that the climatic effects we are experiencing appear inevitable and simply

GLOBAL WARMING: There’s no doubt the climate is shifting.

require us to deal with them as best we can. I’m always suspicious of those who work in departments that earn tax payers money by spreading fear factors among the populace. Af ter all, if they can’t find anything to blame us for, they’d all be out of work wouldn’t they? As far as all the hysteria surrounding the

Windsors using a private jet to travel to the Balearics last week, I do agree 100 per cent that, apropos their stand on carbon emission, it certainly reeks of pure hypocrisy. I do however; question the motives of those objecting the loudest. Can I detect just a weeny touch of en vy tucked away in there somewhere?

I wonder how many of them, given the op portunity to climb aboard Elton John’s private jet and be whisked off to party on a sun drenched Mediterranean Isle would give it a second thought. Mmm? I also vehemently dis agree with Elton John trying to play the right eous card by ‘off setting’ any pollution emis sion damage with donations to the somewhat dubious ‘Carbon Footprint Company.’ This is the unacceptable face of the privi leged and arrogant, basically informing us that if you have the finances you can do just about anything. A line of reasoning that would sug gest that it’s ok to drive down a high street in the Bentley killing and maiming pedestrians provided you make a large enough donation to the local hospital. No, Sorry Mr John doesn’t quite wash with me. My heart went out this week to my beautiful daughter Rebecca and her partner Alba. Tragi cally their beloved pet was knocked down and killed by a hit and run driver outside our home. She was a wonderful and captivating sweet ca nine soul. We are all totally devastated. RIP young Molly. Sadly missed. Keep the Faith Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

It is not that you are feeling the need of having more than one string to your bow, it is more that you are tired of using the same old arrows. So, what is out there to fire your imagination? Something really new will not miss the mark with you.

CODE BREAKER

This is a brilliant week for money and business. Mars is influencing you to be more up-front and practical in your approach. You may feel changes coming on that you would rather deny. Burying your head in the sand is not an option. Take the bull by the horns and you could be surprised at your success.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) You will see the lighter side of life this week when you discover that someone is holding a torch for you. You are flattered and vaguely interested. Your combination of intelligence and humour make you a delightful companion. Venus smiles on all your close relationships and you seem to be able to do no wrong. .

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) There is much to be tackled this week, but you are wary of making full-on decisions. Taking things one step at a time is the best policy because it gives you space to consider the options. There is a restlessness about you that is hard to pinpoint. Perhaps you are feeling positive but have to hold fire because of others. This is frustrating, but try to relax.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Energy levels go up and down and you seek to ration yours by not going all-out physically. It is still possible to be quite dynamic while planning. Indeed, your clear vision impresses a colleague. If you are due for promotion then some good news is likely. Blow your own trumpet rather than wait for others to do it for you.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) The changes affecting you for the past few weeks continue but you are now getting better at managing their direction. Someone wanting you to take a

logical action should not be allowed to push you forward. When to act will be clear to you.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Someone who has been unhelpful in the past suddenly steps forward. Could you have been wrong about them? Probably not. Keep a clear mind when with them. Saturn influences you to be more organised before a bout of indecision strikes.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) The influence of Venus and Jupiter brings you the influence and status that you deserve. It's not that you haven't worked towards it but now you start to see the benefits. There is an urge to improve your appearance and surroundings to fit in with the 'new you'.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) During the past few weeks you may have gained a different perspective on life. Your need for a close attachment and harmony in your life should not be underestimated or denied in the name of practicality.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) To be truly happy you need to build on your partnerships. Keep these in balance and everything else will fall into place. Life has taught you some rather harsh lessons recently. The upshot of that is you now feel more in control and more secure.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) There is an all-consuming need to see some reward for all your efforts. There will be those who will tell you that you need to push harder for success. Perhaps you need to be with more like-minded people. Certainly being with the wrong colleagues can bring your spirits down.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) When needed you are sure to be positive this week. On a project, 'striking while the iron is hot' springs to mind. There is much fun to hand but it must be 'work first' at the moment. Some opportunities do not come twice and you need to be aware of them when they present themselves. Spend some quality time with your loved ones.

SPAIN has been ravaged by fires so far this year, but one thing can be said at least - the Spanish government does its utmost to supply the resources to put them out. But turn your gaze across the Atlantic and the same cannot be said about the fires devastating large swathes of the Amazon rain forest. G7 leaders at their summit in Biarritz would appear to have raised a few hackles with their comments that the disaster - if only we could call it a natural one and not man-made - must be tackled. President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil in particular has not taken kindly to in his view being lectured on the issue. He sees it as none of the G7 nations’ business and that they should not interfere in what he views as an internal issue. The retort from world leaders is that it is their business. With climate change an ever more pressing problem the Amazon needs to be protected and nurtured, not cleared for agriculture. To their credit the G7 nations have offered $20 million to help fight the fires. This is to be rejected by Brazil who shoot back that the money would be better spent reforesting Europe. And Brazil does have a point. The fight against climate change starts on our own doorstep. It is a problem that every single one of us should take action over.

DEAR Editors, The rising worldwide concern with cli mate change and pesticide use prompts me to record my own observations since moving to Andalucia in 2005. The biggest and most dramatic change has been in large predator/scav enger birds such as the larger eagles and vultures. Up until a few years ago I would train my binoculars on the western edge of the Maroma mountain range and see both enormous species using the up draft to gain altitude, then fly back into the mountains. This no longer occurs. I have not seen either species for years, a huge disap pointment for our visitors. Smaller birds such as beeeaters and cragmartins also would flock in this area in quite high numbers, often noisily seeming to interact. Again, a thing of the past, I see them occasionally in small numbers at this time of year. A similar story with insects. Up until a few years back, ants of all types were a real nuisance, parading in columns 20 or 30 metres long, across the patio, over furniture and everywhere in the garden. Except for very few wandering around, they’ve more or less vanished. Similarly bees and wasps. This year is the first year I have rarely had to re move drowned bees and wasps from our pool. Flies a similar story. How these observations relate to cli mate change and/or pesticide use I am not qualified to say. But such huge changes do have an answer, even if maybe just a local phenomenon to this area of Axarquia. We all need to know. Anthony John Randall, Alcaucin

If you stress too much on your grip you will not hit the ball or the ball will fly in a di rection you did not want in the first place. Same when you learn to ride a bike. If you are sitting too tight on it, it will be more difficult to learn. So loosen the grip. Also in your life. Loosen your grip.

Eyelash error THEY certainly create a more dramatic look, but if false eyelashes are applied incorrectly they can also have the op posite effect. Nobody is born with an in nate professional knowledge about how to apply these, so the important thing is to be aware of the basic errors and then avoid them. Once you’ve opened them up, don’t pre sume that your false eyelashes are the correct length for your eyes. You may need to cut them slightly so that they fit correctly. Then, once you’ve applied the application glue, wait at least 30 seconds before you apply the eyelash es. This gives the glue time to harden and get sticky and avoids the issue of the eyelash mov ing around. Be very careful where you apply the eyelash es. Don’t leave them much above the line of your natural lash. This will create a very clean and neat effect. If your prenight out routine involves putting on a face mask to clean your pores. Don’t apply your eyelashes until you have removed the mask. Otherwise you run the risk of accidently pulling them off. And remember, simply because you have

Why is for most people life so full of negativity, anxiety, fear, and holding on to? Just reflect on this question for a moment. Start today, step by step, loos ening your grip on the things you want. I promise you that in time you will feel more relaxed, more free. Loosen your grip on the past. Holding on causes more damage.

This chat is now over! MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WASN’T able do an article last week be cause I had to go back to the UK and over the next few articles I will remind you all why the UK now makes me extremely grumpy. But this week I’m going to grump about emojis. I’m sure you all know what they are but for those that don’t know, they are the little smiley face things that pop up when you are typing a message or a What sApp. The trouble is now that it’s not just a smiley face. The reason I went back to the UK was unfortunately because one of my closest friends lost a family member. I was chatting to him on WhatsApp and I asked him what day the funeral was. As I typed in the word funeral, up popped an emoji of a coffin! I couldn’t be lieve it. What idiotic moron programmer thought that would be a good idea? I can not imagine how my friend would have felt if, for some reason, I didn’t check and I sent the message.

That then got me thinking about the whole emoji thing. I am reliably informed that there are a considerable amount of them that have a lot of secondary mean ings. My 92yearold motherinlaw uses WhatsApp and is fascinated by the emojis. However, my daughter had to tell her to stay away from the aubergines, bananas, cherries and peaches (Google them). I can’t list all the different ones here be cause the editor won’t let me but have a look online. It’s crazy! I often get a smiley face or a sad face, but many times people send me a message with a picture that I have no clue what it represents so I ask them ‘what’s that mean?’ I got an upside down face?? Open your message app and have a look I bet there’s over 50 per cent on there you don’t have a clue what they represent. Then there is the classic that so many people make the mis take of using. LOL does NOT mean ‘lots of love.’ It means ‘laughing out loud.’ So do not do, as one of my older friends did when sending me a condolence message after my mum died, finish it with LOL. The whole thing is confusing, but one thing I do know is that once I just get an emoji or LOL as a reply to a message that chat is over!

SOCIAL SCENE

Market PLACE

Here we have compiled all of the markets that take place around Mallorca:

Monday Calvià, Caimari, Lloret de Vistalegre, Manacor and Montuïri.

Tuesday Alcúdia, Artà, Campanet, Porreresu and Santa Margalida.

Wednesday Andratx, Capdepera, Felanitx, Petra, Port de Pollença, Santanyí, Selva, Sencelles, Sineu, Vilafranca de Bonany and Colònia de Sant Jordi. Thursday Ariany, Campos, S Arenal, Consell, Inca, Pòrtol, Sant Llorenç de Cardassar,

Aside from general markets around the island, there are also municipal markets in central Palma that sell fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, wine and other food to local residents. Santa Catalina Market is one of the most popular in Palma and attracts locals, restaurant owners and tourists in search of fresh produce, local wines or some lunch in one of the many tapas kiosks inside. On Saturdays the market is teeming with people as the famous, or perhaps infamous, ‘Tardeo’, begins here with hordes of Spanish locals beginning a daytime bar crawl from one of the restau-

With fresh produce, local handicrafts and plenty of delicious treats, markets in Mallorca should be top of the list of things to do for both residents and tourists alike. What better way to meet the locals, support local businesses, and integrate in a town than by buying straight from the source? Most of the markets take place between 9am and 3pm with Pollensa being the largest and the markets in Santa Maria, Inca and Sineu amongst the most popular.

Ses Salines, Sant Joan, Lloseta and Deià. Friday Alaro, Algaida, Binissalem, Can Picafort, Llucmajor, Maria de la Salut, Pont d’Inca, Son Servera and Sa Cabaneta. Saturday Búger, Bunyola, Cala Rajada, Campos,

rants near the market. In the Old Town of Palma you will find the Mercat Olivar which, similar to Santa Catalina Market, sells fresh produce and local delicacies. Visitors to this market can enjoy a glass of cava and some oysters at the cava bar inside and then pop to the Mercadona upstairs for your general shopping. Interestingly there is a restaurant inside that will cook anything that you buy in the market or Mercadona to order - definitely beats cooking yourself! Foodies looking for a market experience should head to the San Juan Gastronomic

Costitx, Esporles (first Saturday of the month), Palma de Mallorca, Santanyí, Sóller, Santa Eugènia and Santa Margalida. Sunday Alcúdia, Consell, Felanitx, Llucmajor, Muro, Pollensa, Porto Cristo, Santa Maria del Camí, Valldemossa and Sa Pobla.

Market in S’Escorxador. This converted slaughterhouse offers open, communal dining with over 20 full time food stalls serving everything from tapas to Thai, ponchos to Peking duck. There are activities and events throughout the year to entertain the crowds and often live music is played at the weekend as people dine. Whatever it is you are looking for from a market, Mallorca really does have something for everyone. Be sure to visit a market inland for a true Mallorcan experience, sip cañas and dine your way through the Gastronomic Market at least once.

The images did not go down well with the public and a royal rebranding was called for. This is a 45minute documen tary by Julia Melchior, a German journalist who specialises in Eu

Win or lose

CASSANDRA NASH A WEEKLY LOOK - and not entirely impartial reaction to the Spanish political scene

PABLO IGLESIAS is backing a loser by pushing Spain’s moral obligation to accept the tragic migrants who pre fer to risk their lives than stay in their countries of birth. He might be right and this will res onate with Unidas Podemos voters and the socially committed. Indeed, the Spanish proudly dis played their lack of racism and were always happy to welcome all immi grants, especially wellheeled Euro peans. They grudgingly accepted Latinos too, who at least spoke the same lan guage and shared or at least under stood a similar culture. That has changed and one of the reasons why Vox obtained so many votes in the Andalucia elections last December was because it does not put out the welcome mat for non European, nonLatino immigrants. Iglesias wants to shame the tardi ness of the PSOE government’s re sponse to the Open Arms immi grants. Rightly or wrongly and whisper it

soft, that could be a votewinner, not a loser.

IN a recent survey, thousands of tutors were asked why students they’d taught failed English GCSEs. The most common reason, given by 42 per cent of respon dents, was using ‘slanglish’ in exams, the most commonly misspelt words and phrases being ‘tonite,’ ‘summin’ and ‘pls.’ I’m sure it’s considered elitist, but what can you expect when your ears are as saulted daily by the mangling of pronunci ation from commentators on TV and ra dio? Some (not all) don’t pronounce ‘ing’ at the end of any word, ever, so you get: ‘I’m standin here in Downin Street waitin to see what’s bein said after this meetin...’ If you want kids to write correctly, then they need to hear the right things in the first place, right? There is, too, a traffic re porter on BBC radio who does exactly the same thing: traffic is ‘quein,’ ‘passin’ or ‘slowin.’ When a listener complained about this, he was reprimanded by a BBC functionary who said they were trying to encourage regional accents. Now, I’m all for regional accents, but this is just sloppy speech. But, to be fair, you’d expect that sort of PC nonsense from the BBC.

It all adds up ALBERT RIVERA, Ciudadanos’ leader, is hedging his bets regarding Pablo Casado’s bright idea called Es paña Suma. The PP and Cs should run on the same ticket in future elections, together with Vox, Casado sug gests. Rivera has so far shown little enthusiasm, and why should he? Why stick his neck out and possible repel future votes from Cs’ backbone of Centrist voters? If Spain endures another general election on No vember 10 and in the all too likely event of another hung parliament, Rivera will get his chance of a threesome anyway, without having to sign up to anything beforehand. He’ll get his cake and eat it too.

GENERAL ELECTION: Why repel future votes?

Don’t write in slanglish if you wanna pass exams

IN A WORD: Slanglish is sloppy speech. And don’t get me started on ‘yoof’ pre senters. No wonder our children can’t speak and therefore write properly if their use of language is held up as being correct. Remember Tony Blair dropping his ‘t’s to be down with the yoof? Messaging and autocorrect are often given as the main reasons for the current situation. Nonsense! The root of the prob lem is simply that kids don’t read books any more. So they’re never exposed to correct grammar nor have any chance to widen their vocabulary. What hope is there they’ll ever learn it if all they ever see or hear of language is ‘txt

spk’ or the mangled noise of TV and video? While doubtless technology bears some blame for this, so too do govern ment educational policies that have by passed books as a primary aid to learning.

Loser takes all THE Partido Popular, with Pablo Casado in charge, obtained its worst ever general election results last April, taking only 66 seats in the na tional parliament compared with 137 in 2016 and losing 3.5 million votes. Not to worry, though. Bolstered by the nominally Centre party Ciu dadanos and UltraRight Vox, the PP now governs a total of 21.7 million people in Madrid, Murcia and An dalucia, despite not being the most voted party in any of these regions. This was never a question of arith metic, nor a tripledecker equation or even differential calculus. Casado’s feat is closer to quantum mechanics which nobody under stands, but which get amazing re sults.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can he withhold the minutes? Our community consists of an aparthotel with 130 privately owned apartments. Three quarters of these are in a letting pool, which is run as a hotel by our managing agent, who is also the community adminis trator. Because of the conflict of interest and complicated money transfers, we agreed by a large majority at the AGM to split the residential community from the letting business. Our administrator disagreed so we called an EGM, which we won. We also had a notary and our lawyer attend. Now the administrator will not give us the official minutes book, which we need to get the minutes registered. I have been told that we can’t proceed with a court case against him until the minutes have been regis tered. Can you advise?

If your administrator is a member of the official College of Property Administra tors of your province, you can report him to the College.

PROPERTY

Did you register your property? THERE are many steps required to buying a property in Spain and it’s always best to ensure that you know what you are do ing, buying and how to go about it. Taking each step with the help of a lawyer is always advis able, particularly if you are not fluent in Spanish and you are not familiar with the ins and outs of purchasing a property in this country. Once you have signed on the dotted line, handed over the cash and paid all the taxes and fees that need to be paid, there is still one more legality that must be attended to before you can finally put your feet up and relax in your new home. And that’s registering your purchase at your nearest prop erty registry office. Although this action is voluntary, it is recom mended to everyone who buys a property as it could save you a lot of hassle and stress in the fu ture if you are faced with any type of problem. Doing this is a must if you want to safeguard your pur

chase and especially if you ever need to prove that the house you have just bought is legally yours. Registering the purchase will act as a guarantee of protec tion if your name has been logged as the owner of soand so house. Although signing the title deeds or ‘escritura’ will auto matically make you and name you as the new owner of the property, if you don’t register this change with the property registry office straightaway, you could find that other charges or fees, which would rank ahead of your ownership rights, could be added against the property while it still appears on the Reg istro list in the name of the pre vious owner. In the worstcase scenario, you could end up having to sell the property you have just bought in order to repay a debt that wasn’t yours! You will also need to register your property purchase at the Registro if you are looking to take out a mortgage. This will

Buying property properly THE reasons why Britons top the list of foreign buyers of Spanish property are not hard to understand. As well as a flourishing ex pat community and a warmer climate, there is also the opportu nity to establish a better worklife balance. The credit crunch of 2008 caused Spain’s property prices to crash, with the market only beginning to recover in 2014. Thanks in part to strong economic growth in recent years, a total of 518,000 properties were sold in 2017, a 15 per cent in crease on the previous year. House prices in the country are forecast to rise by 5 per cent in 2018, and rental prices are growing at doubledigit rates. Major cities like Barcelona, Palma and Madrid are reaching recordhigh average rental prices, as more and more homes go up for sale. British buyers usually find the purchasing process to be rela tively uncomplicated, as there is no requirement to be a Spanish resident to buy property. Choosing a reliable property agency can help buyers reduce the risks they face during the housebuying process, and plan ning permission is important. There are no legal restrictions on getting a mortgage from a Spanish bank as a British citizen, but it could be more difficult as credit checks are performed locally. Making the move to one of Spain’s property hotspots does not have to be a complex process, but doing the necessary re search will ensure a buyer can settle into the famous Spanish good life much quicker.

REGISTRATION: A necessity that could save you a lot of legal problems and hassle. not be possible otherwise. It is also important to ensure that you register the purchase immediately for the following reasons: • To be considered as the on ly and true owner of the proper ty • Protection against the sell er’s creditors • Will be legally protected in any court case if the property’s ownership is in doubt or under discussion. For example, if two people buy the same property un knowingly, of course, it doesn’t matter which of them pur chased the property first, it is the one that registers the prop erty first that will have priority over its ownership rights. It is also important to have your property registered in your name if you are planning to sell it in the future. Anyone that is seriously considering buying it from you will go to the registry office specifically to check that the house is in fact in your name and that there are no outstand ing debts allocated to it. If you have not registered the property, it will be a bit of a struggle trying to sell it. If you have purchased a prop

erty with your spouse, for exam ple, and this figures on the title deeds but then when you go to sell it and your spouse no longer figures as one of the owners, if they have passed away, unless this has also been registered (presenting a death certificate or will is not enough, the sale of the property will then be stalled un til the transfer of ownership to the living spouse (which should have already been done) has gone through.So, as you can see, registering the purchase of your new property with the correct office as soon as the sale has gone through is extremely im portant and a necessity that could save you a lot of legal problems and hassle. As with most legalities in Spain, it is better to be safe than sorry.

BARRY DUKE IN 2012, Matthew Harwood, writ ing for the Guardian, began an arti cle about National Service with the words: ‘The corpse of longdead idea is beginning to stir.’ Then, in 2015, Prince Harry put his oar in, suggesting a return to conscription would be great for the UK. I let out a whoop of delight when a fella responded thus on Twitter: ‘Tell you what, Prince Har ry: we’ll do National Service if you and your family do proper jobs (for life), and live only off the wages.’ The issue surfaced again when, in a recent edition of EWN, columnist Leapy Lee wrote that a return to the draft in the UK would instill in youngsters ‘discipline and a respect for their fellow human beings; res cue them from the ganginfested streets and give them the opportu nity to learn a trade and engage in wider life experiences.’ With all due respect to Lee, may I suggest that mandatory conscrip tion will do nothing to solve the UK’s burgeoning social problems, and may even exacerbate them. Take Greece for example. Yiannis Baboulias, writing for The New

Conscription’s not the answer

FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOMERY: A closeted gay bully. Statesman this summer, pointed out that his home country one of the last states in Europe to retain nine months’ mandatory conscrip tion ‘suffers from exactly the same

issues as other Western countries that don’t have conscription. It is divided; political polarisation has now reached extreme levels and mutual suspicion abounds.’ He

added that the Greek draft ‘doesn’t seem to have the desired effect.’ Now let’s remind ourselves of what life was like for conscripts af ter National Service was introduced in 1947, mainly at the behest of Field Marshal Montgomery, ‘the posturing bully who was in a per manent panic of denial about his repressed homosexuality.’ He hoped ‘to use military service to mould national character towards chaste combative virility.’ These words were written by Richard DavenportHines in 2014. He was reviewing a book by Richard Vinen entitled National Service: Conscription in Britain 19451963, which revealed that, for many con scripts, their experience of life boiled down to mindnumbing squarebashing and physical and mental abuse. Vinen wrote of the ‘hellish chaos’ of basic training: its violence, verbal savagery, the dumb misery of mili

tary drills and the horrors of bayo net practice. ‘Several young men killed them selves during training usually by hanging from a lavatory cistern, be cause ‘the s**thouse’ was the only place that gave a moment’s privacy ‘ but suicide statistics seem to have been doctored by officials.’ DavenportHines reminded his readers that national service was disliked not only by antimilitarists and leftwingers, but by middleof theroad people. ‘It disrupted the lives of their sons in a period when there was full employment for the working classes. And regular army officers resented National Service, especial ly during its early years, because the need to train a constantly re newed stream of conscripts was dull, repetitive and diminished ‘real soldiering’.’ I, for one, am dead against con scription and its attendant brutali ty, and would point out a significant fact: those who are the most en thusiastic supporters of the draft were never themselves conscript ed. For the record, Spain abolished conscription in 2001 after 230 years of obligatory military service. Did this unleash waves of antisocial be haviour and cause a spike in violent crime? No, it did not.

San Marino, the third-smallest country in Europe, has the most cars per people ratio (1,263 cars per 1,000 people).

Skoda Superb Scout Hatchback 2019 AIMING to expand on its one million sold units, leading Czech firm Skoda has given its flagship Superb range a facelift for 2019 including minor aesthetic changes as well as a punchy new 2.0 TDI EVO engine. They have also added a slightly more rugged, chunkier version named the Scout. To the naked eye the changes to the standard Superb are subtle. First thing you will notice is the slightly larger front grille with more streamlined front headlights. The 2019 Scout is the first in the Skoda range that utilises a full Ma trix LED system. The rear sees some minor alter

ations too with, again, new light clusters and chrome under trim. The main differ ence that you may notice is the new colour way available on the Scout, Tan gerine Orange, a colour not available on the standard Superb models. The ‘offroad’ moniker is also em

phasised by the 15mm increase in ground clearance over the standard model, increasing the overall dimensions by 10mm.

The interior space of both the saloon and hatchback ver sions have also grown slightly to some clever space saving by the boffins at

Skoda. Both the front and back seats give ample leg room and exceptional head clearance. Boot space according to Skoda is a spacious 660 litres, expand able to 1,950 if the backrests of the rear seats are lowered. Engine wise, the 2019 Scout range offers two different op tions, the 2.0 TDI 190 hp DSG and the 2.0 TSI 272hp DSG. Equipment wise the Skoda comes with all the standard luxuries a modern day car should contain. Prices start at €44,990 for the 190hp version and €45,990 for the 272hp.

2019 Mitsubishi L200 Mk6 ALTHOUGH on the surface the 2019 facelift L200 looks to have had a com plete overhaul, the new model carries a lot of fea tures over from the previ ous iteration. The new model carries over features from its inte rior as well as the chassis and drivetrain, however receives a downsized en gine, completely new sus pension geometry and a host of new technology and driver assistance fea tures. The size of the load bed remains the same, 1,520mm long and 1,470mm wide, meaning it sits slightly smaller than the Nissan Navara or the new Mercedes XClass, however the differences

are minimal. The fiveseat, Double Cab Barbarian X is the new range topping model, equipped with a standard sixspeed automatic gear box and all of the L200’s latest toys. New technology includes blind spot warning system with lane change assist, lane departure warning, hill start assist, rear cross traffic alert, forward colli sion warning with auto matic emergency braking and trailer stability assist. Overall the interior car ries a lot of the ergonom ics of the previous model, giving the interior a chunky and robust feel. Ride has been worked on for 2019 too, with im provements being made to

the chassis, new springs and dampers with an in creased spring rate on the front axle, and a more complex rear leaf spring setup. These aim to elimi nate some of the normal, uncomfortable characteris tics of an over sprung / un der loaded pick up. The range topping model comes equipped with the downsized 2.3litre four cylinder diesel engine, 148hp and 400Nm of torque. Motorway cruising is ef fortless and getting up to speed is no hassle.

THE Spanish K-4 500 team of Saúl Craviotto, Carlos Arévalo, Marcus Walz and Rodrigo Germade, has won the silver medal at the World Championship in Szeged (Hungary), meaning they now also qualify for the Olympics.

Carnage on first day of la Vuelta

FOR the first time the Costa Blanca town of Torrevieja hosted a stage finish in La Vuelta a España and there was carnage. A leaky paddling pool has been blamed for two teams crashing in the showcase event at kilometre 13.4 on the course round the town. It was a big honour for Torrevieja to host the first stage of the third and final Grand Tour of the season. It was run as a time trial which brought excitement to the town’s streets. Bringing a little more excitement was the paddling pool, which left a water slick across the road. With the teams averaging speeds of 54.14 kilometres per hour in perfect condi tions, a sudden wet patch was the last thing they need ed. While most teams negti ated the tricky stretch safely,

the UAE Team Emirates and LottoJumbo saw their riders come crashing down during the timed rides, losing time over the other teams before the race was underway. Prestage favourites Team JumboVisma lost 40 sec onds, with overall con tenders Primoz Roglic and Steven Kruijswijk caught up in the crash as their team mates skittled into one an other at the barriers. Former champion Fabio Aru lost more than a minute after his UAE Team Emirates crashed on the same corner. LA Vuelta will see riders cover 3,272.2km before fin ishing in Madrid after three weeks. Astana won the first stage, with 25yearold Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez crossing the line first to earn the leader’s red jersey.

ATHLETICO MADRID continue to show their noisy neighbours how it’s done af ter winning at the weekend to make it two wins out of two. It promised to be a difficult start to the season for them as they try to bed in no fewer than nine new players includ ing three of their back four and cope with the loss to Barcelona of French striker Antoine Griezmann. Diego Simeone’s side may look differ ent in terms of personnel, but when it comes to playing style there is little change. Simeone still sets his team up 4 42 with four central players crowding midfield and the full backs providing width. And it is still bringing results, with Ath letico beating Leganes away 01 to fol low on from their 10 home win against Getafe in the first round of matches. Across the city Real Madrid are not getting the results they want. When Zinedine Zidane returned to the club he promised a revolution and demanded control of transfers to mold a team for himself. So far he has spent €300 million on four players, with most of it going on

PROUD MOMENT: Sevilla sit top of the table.

SCORER: Antoinne Griezmann scored twice.

Eden Hazard. Unfortunately for Zidane’s plans Hazard is out injured, and there is little sign of the ‘new Real.’ Barcelona, without Messi, were look ing to get back on track after their shock loss to Athletic Bilbao in their first match of the season. Barca’s much vaunted attack was missing Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele in their home game against Sevilla side Real Betis. Things were not looking too good when Nabil Fekir put the visitors 10 up early on, new boy Antoine Griezmann stepped forward to show why Barcelona were so keen to buy him.

He scored two and set up another as the Catalans went on to win 52. The crowd also got a glimpse of the future, with 21yearold Carles Perez impressing (and scoring) on his first start, and Ansu Fati becoming the club’s second youngest player ever at 16 years and 298 days. Surprise early leaders are Sevilla where a mix of new arrivals and experi enced players setting up in a 433 for mation have seen them claim two wins. They travelled to Andalucian rivals Granada and secured a 01 win to follow on from their opening round 02 defeat of Espanyol.
