Be Brexit Ready EXPATS on the Costa Blanca are being urged to be Brexit-ready with the latest online info and a roadshow in Alicante and Murcia. Up to £3 million has been set aside by the British Government to make sure all UK citizens in Spain are up-tospeed with all the facts at their fingertips by October 31. Extra support will be targeted at pensioners and disabled people, as well as those living in remote areas, with mobility difficulties, and those needing help with
language translation or interpretation. British Consul Sarah-Jane Morris said: “As we approach the date when we will leave the EU, we recognise that British nationals may want to speak to us individually about their concerns and to check if there is anything else they need to do. “By going to areas where there are a lot of British nationals, we hope to make this as easy as possible.” UK nationals living in Spain are being advised to prioritise registering as a resident by October 31 and to
sign up for email alerts from https://www.gov.uk/living-inspain and following Brits in Spain on Facebook. Those needing help with their residency applications will be able to find local organisations to support them once the funding has been allocated. Anyone who wants to speak to someone from the Consulate can visit at any point between 9.30am and 2.30pm. A roadshow will hit the trail on September 16 and will be touring towns across the Alicante and
Murcia provinces until October 23. The British Consulate is running the pop-up information stalls outside supermarkets where consulate staff will be on hand to answer any questions about Brexit, living in Spain and access to healthcare.

DEMONSTRATION: In support of animal rights.
Animal rights protest PROTESTORS took to Javea’s Arenal on Sunday to protest about the treatment of animals, in particular bulls in the bull running, and were met with cheers from
locals. A group of people paraded down the promenade with banners to raise awareness for the animals that they feel are badly treated during local festivals.
The main cause for their concern is the popular bull running event held in the port in which the bull is provoked to jump into the sea.

Father held over son’s stabbing A 66-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in the town of Paterna near Valenica for allegedly stabbing his son to death after an argument. The incident took place just after midnight on Sunday in the family’s apartment. Police were called to the scene and discovered the father on the stairs in the building covered in blood and the body of his son lying on the kitchen floor with two stab wounds. The victim’s mother and girlfriend were present at the scene and were taken to the police station to give their statements, although both reportedly stated that they had not witnessed the stabbing. According to reports, the father said his son had stabbed himself in the chest during the struggle between them. The father was arrested and the coroner took the v i c t i m ’s b o d y t o t h e m o r g u e t o c o n d u c t a p o s t mortem whilst a forensic team processed the scene, taking the alleged murder weapon, blood samples, and clothing for analysis. Neighbours told police that there were frequently loud arguments in the apartment.

MAYHEM: For one day a year, the streets of Buñol turn red for the annual La Tomatina Festival.
World’s biggest food fight
JAVEA/XABIA 41-43 FINANCE 46-49
THERE was food glorious food in the village of Buñol in the Valencia region last week. Thousands of revellers took to the streets to compete in a unique spectacle, the La Tomatina Festival. Dubbed as the world’s largest food fight, nearly 22,000 people showed up dressed in goggles and old clothes, armed with over 180,000 freshly ripe tomatoes, ready to cause mayhem. The festival started in 1945 when a street fight broke out in a vegetable market in the Valencian village.
The local youth decided that they had so much fun throwing the vegetables at each other they did the same again the following year, only this time they were armed with tomatoes, and so the tradition began. This year, nearly 145 tonnes of tomatoes will be transported in via six lorries, ready to be hurled at fellow party goers. Due to the huge popularity of the event, this year’s festival was ticketed, with 17,000 going on general sale, with another 5,000 for village residents free
of charge. Extra security was also drafted in after the recent violent attacks in Valencia, ensuring the event ran without incident. The tomatoes in the festival come from Extremadura, lauded for their cheap price, low quality and inferior taste, meaning that participants don’t feel too bad about squandering one of Spain’s most prized foodstuffs. And what happens after the streets empty and the clean-up starts? The town looks brand new as the acidity of the tomatoes acts as a disinfectant.

Situation 1 fire
Cruise passengers
FIREFIGHTERS managed to successfully extinguish a fire in the early hours of Sunday morning which ravaged an area of Benissa. The vegetation fire was first reported on Saturday afternoon and a ‘Situation 1’ of the Special Plan against the risk of forest fires was declared as it was possible that properties could be affected by the fire. A ‘Situation 1’ is declared when it is believed that a fire can spread quickly and cause the destruction of forest or agricultural areas or when a fire approaches an area with properties that may result in the evacuation of residents. Firefighters mobilised two firefighting planes, four firefighting units, one helicopter, a forest coordinator and a prevention unit to battle the blaze. The fire destroyed an area of vegetation in Benissa and was successfully extinguished by 6.04am on Sunday.
ALICANTE has had to revise its forecast for the number of cruise passengers expected to arrive in the city this year. In April it was announced that around 100,000 would visit the city in 2019 from a total of 50 cruise ships. This figure has been reduced to 44 cruise ships arriving in the city and the number of passengers has decreased by 8.6 per cent compared to the same period last year. Since 2015 it is estimated that cruise tourism has generated approximately €5 million for the region including the money that the ships spend to be in port and the cash spent by the passengers when they disembark in the city. The decline in passenger numbers in Alicante is reportedly partly due to the city’s proximity to Valencia which is more popular and well-known to tourists.

Strengths and weaknesses
Crackdown on ‘Pea Men’ BENIDORM scam artists, the ‘pea men,’ will face a strict crackdown following a meeting held by the town hall last week. It will now be a criminal offence and police can intervene following a well-publicised attack on a tourist.

BOOST: Benidorm Foundation is hoping to entice more Milleniums to the resort.
Millennials invited THE Benidorm Foundation invited six influencers from around the world to visit the town to promote the the area to their 450,000 followers on Instagram. The move is aimed at making the resort popular to Millennials, the generation born around the beginning of the millennium who are influ-
enced by social media and technology more than any other generation. The six influencers from the UK, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, and Finland arrived in Benidorm and blogged their stay to their followers with images of their daily activities which included a heli-
copter trip, a jeep tour, a trip to a vineyard and parasailing amongst other exciting excursions. The Foundation is hoping that the increased exposure will attract more tourists between the ages of 25 and 35 to the city to enjoy the nightlife and excursions that are on offer.
Boat incidents in Javea SEVERAL incidents occurred in the waters around Javea last week with several boats and their owners getting into trouble and requiring help. The first incident occurred in the Marina Not Fontana when an inflatable rib moored in the marina caught fire and exploded. The two people on board jumped into the water to avoid the flames but one of them suffered severe burns on his back whilst the other suffered first-degree burns to their face, shoulders and chest. They were attended to by the Red Cross for their injuries and firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. It is thought the acci-
dent was caused by an accumulation of gas. Another incident occurred near the island of Portitxol when some fishermen spotted a motorboat that had crashed into some rocks. The fisherman saw the man on the boat wearing a lifejacket and attempting to get their attention. The man was able to swim to the fishing boat and return safely to the port. The Salvamar Diphda boat also had to tow a barge that was drifting just off the coast of Cap de la Nau which could have caused issues with other boats in the area. Finally, a small dinghy sank near Cala Ambolo which was carrying 11 migrants, all of whom were safely rescued.
BENIDORM Council is asking business owners to participate in the survey on local business. The objective is to find out how business is evolving as well as identify the elements that influence the development of commercial activity. The Department of Commerce of Benidorm uploaded a survey on their website which allows business owners in Benidorm to answer a series of questions that will help to analyse trends, growth and satisfaction in the sector. The questionnaire will be in the Trade and Industry section of the website at: https://benidorm.org/es/ayun tamiento/concejalias/comer cio-e-industria/encuestacomercio-de-benidorm-1-se mestre-2019. AICO, the main promoter of this initiative, believes this is the best way to find out the strengths and weaknesses.
Bogus insurance claims
IN 2016 the press was awash with stories of fraudulent insurance claims filed by British tourists at resorts across the world who claimed they were victims of food poisoning at their hotels whilst on holiday. Benidorm was one of the main resorts that was affected by these claims with an estimated €500 million lost by hotels in two years and claims increasing by up to 500 per cent. Things have changed this year as not a single claim has been filed in 2019. This is mainly down to the intervention of British authorities who issued fines from €800 to €15,000 and even a prison sentence of three months for one false claimant. The British authorities also put a maximum amount of compensation in place that will prevent tourists from making inflated claims.

Slept in toilet A GRANDMOTHER holidaying in Benidorm was reportedly forced to sleep in a toilet after being denied boarding on her flight home. Eileen Gibson, aged 75, was reportedly left with no choice but to sleep on a baby-changing table in the toilet at Alicante Airport after a row with Jet2 staff. The argument broke out over a ‘Fit to Fly’ certificate after she had been admitted to hospital for treatment for pancreatitis. Staff from Jet2 would not allow Eileen to board the plane to Edinburgh due to her stay in the hospital as she had failed to obtain the necessary certificate before heading home. As she was in pain and exhausted, Eileen locked herself in the disabled toilet at the airport and slept on a baby-changing table. Jet2 representatives are reported to have apologised to Eileen for the inconvenience.
Woman sends explicit images A WOMAN has been arrested in Alcoy for sending explicit pictures of her ex-boyfriend to the man’s family and colleagues in an attempt to get the man fired from his job. The man filed a complaint with the National Police after the woman shared the images, which apparently the man had sent to her privately during their relationship, apparently in retaliation for him ending their relationship. The woman sent some of the photos to the man’s family by post and sent the same images to his colleagues by email. It is alleged that she distributed the images to cause the man embarrassment and even lose his job. As sharing explicit photos or messages without consent is a crime, the 47-year-old woman was arrested and a restraining order was issued by the Court of Instruction Number Eight of Alicante forbidding the woman from contacting the victim.
A shoe for Benidorm Pride LOCAL residents and visitors to Benidorm gazed up in amazement when a large object in plastic wrapping came down on ropes from the top of a popular local bar last Saturday.

It was created over several weeks on the roof of the Old Town’s Company Bar by Gary Frost and Mark Seargent for Benidorm’s ninth Pride week, which culminates on Saturday, September 7 with an extravagant parade through the centre.

ACCESSIBILITY: Calle del Mar in Benidorm will undergo extensive improvements.
Upgrade investment THE Calle del Mar in Benidorm will undergo a series of improvements in the coming months after approval from the council. The road that links Calle Esperanto with Calle Emilio Ortuño, has been granted a budget of €355,000 to improve accessibility and upgrade the water infrastructure in the area. This road, which links Esperanto with Emilio Ortuño, currently lacks accessibility and the project will provide for the complete renewal of the underground network with the installation of new manholes and sanitation connections to homes. The street will also be equipped with a rainwater network to collect rainwater and the drinking water supply network will be completely renovated, extending it all the way to Calle Emilio Ortuño Street.
The mayor, Toni Pérez, explained “every time we carry out water infrastructure renovation works, we are going to accompany this work in the subsoil with a substantial improvement in the urban scene and the aesthetics of Calle del Mar; something that is absolutely necessary, as we are talking about a street without accessibility and with only one pavement that is barely half a metre wide.”

Trapped in lift TWELVE German tourists were trapped in a lift at the Turia metro station in Valencia last week for more than two hours. The tourists were on a stag trip and had attended the Tomatina, the tomato fight, in the morning before returning to Valencia. It is reported that the group of a dozen all got into the lift at the same time, despite the lift having a capacity of 650 kilos or eight people, and therefore could not hold their combined weight and got stuck. Firefighters and security technicians sealed off the elevator and worked to free the tourists safely and, even though the temperatures in the lift were a cause for concern, there were no injuries and after a quick check by paramedics the group were able to leave of their own accord.

DANGEROUS BREEDS: Must be registered and regulated.
Fine situation for dangerous dogs FINES of €2,400 face the owners of 38 potentially dangerous dogs that have not passed obligatory controls. These involve providing proof that owners do not have a criminal record and possess a certificate of psychological fitness to own a dangerous breed. The licence fee must be paid, the dog covered by insurance and also have an animal passport. According to Public Safety councillor, Javier Scotto, the region’s online Animal Identification Register shows that 80 of the dogs were registered in 2017 and 2018. Sixty-five belong to owners living in Denia
and the Public Safety department has now contacted them, confirming which breeds are officially considered dangerous. Four of the dogs are licensed, another five are currently being registered and the town hall is sending a second notification to another 18 owners so that they can rectify the situation. Proceedings will be taken against the 38 dog owners who have taken no steps to normalise the situation and will be informed that they face a €2,404 fine. “A potentially dangerous dog is not dangerous if the owner is responsible,” Scotto said.

BREXIT BRIEF
BREXIT EXTRA
Showdown to stop No Deal Brexit as opposition vows to stall the PM By Chris Humphreys PRIME MINISTER Boris Johnson is facing a challenge to go to the polls before Britain leaves the EU. Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn says nobody voted for No Deal and wants the PM to ask the country to back him in a snap General Election. Despite the suspension of Parliament, the prospect of a No Deal Brexit could still be avoided if the opposition can gain enough support from across the floor. There isn’t much time left before Britain is due to stride out of the European Union and, as Parliament is due to be suspended from around September 9, No Deal could be a done deal. But as most MPs, even those who are pro-Brexit, are against leaving without a deal, Parliament could still dig its heels in. Calling a General Election is considered the nuclear option and a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister won’t
NO DEAL BREXIT: Can still be avoided if opposition gains enough support. sit comfortably on the shoulders of his back benchers. Short of a General Election, opposition MPs say they will try to pass legislation that could prevent Prime Minister Boris Johnson pressing on with his Deal or No Deal ultimatum. As it stands, Britain will leave the EU on October 31, 2019 whether or not the Prime Minister manages to convince EU negotiators to back down. That’s
now written in law. However, Jeremy Corbyn believes there will be enough support from disgruntled back bench Tories to put a stop to what No Deal opponents argue will be an economic car crash for the UK. MPs can try to take control of Parliament using Standing Order 24, of SO24, which allows MPs to call a debate on crucial matters considered in need of urgent debate.
FEATURE
Using this tactic, opponents of No Deal could take control of the timetable and it would be up to the Speaker of the House John Bercow to decide whether or not to allow amendments that could lead to new legislation. It may seem unlikely, but MPs have done it before. Back in April, they passed a law forcing Theresa May to ask the EU for more time when she failed to win enough support for her withdrawal plan. The announcement that Parliament was to be suspended has caused demonstrations on the streets of Britain. Most of the demonstrators are opposed to the suspension, although there have been smaller counter demonstrations by groups supporting the suspension. While many argue that MPs are being denied the democratic right to oppose leaving the EU without a deal, hard-line Brexiteers will say that the referendum on June 23, 2016 was democracy showing its might and leave means leave.
Property price fall PROPERTY prices could take a knock if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. Accountancy firm KPMG says that Northern Ireland is likely to be hardest hit in the next 12 months with average prices dropping by 7.5 per cent, followed by London at 7 per cent.
Sacking threat TORY rebels could be sacked if they fail to support the government over Brexit. Conservative Party whips, who impose discipline in the party, have suggested that anyone siding with the opposition is likely to find themselves deselected or even expelled from the party.
Before travelling PEOPLE planning to travel to EU member nations after Brexit are being advised to check their paperwork. After Brexit, all passports must have at least six months before expiry. Anyone with a passport that expires within less than six months of travel will need to renew their passport. Passport renewal may take longer after Brexit too.

Balearia are working with Ardentia Marine to draw up a plan, approved by the Alicante Maritime Captaincy. So far, Balearia have refused the help of a nearby vessel, Salvamar Mart Mata, which specialises in this type of rescue. Instead, due to the dimensions of the hull, the company have decided to scrap the boat piece by piece.

Murder fugitive arrested POLICE in Marbella have arrested a French fugitive wanted for murder and drug trafficking after a highspeed chase in which shots were fired. A Local Police patrol in the Nueva Andalucia area had approached three occupants of a BMW in Calle Los Jazmines to ask for documentation. Just as they arrived the driver put his foot down and shot away.
A pursuit started and at the Las Petunias roundabout in San Pedro Alcantara the BMW was forced to stop. A woman passenger jumped out and began to run. Her two male companions then sped off, travelling 300 metres in the wrong direction before police lost contact with them. A plainclothes patrol in Colonia de El Angel, which had followed the opera-
tion by radio, then saw a Mercedes travelling at high speed. Suspecting it could be the same men who had changed cars they blocked the road with their own vehicle. But the driver of the Mercedes, who was alone, rammed their car instead. He then tried to reverse away but stopped when one of the policemen fired a warning shot in the air.
Health crew in dog attack AN ambulance man was bitten when a woman who did not like the treatment he was giving a relative of hers set a Boxer dog on him.
When the woman owner of the animal refused to call off the animal the two ambulance crew had to take refuge in the kitchen of the home they were
called to and phone police for help. Now a 50-year-old woman has been arrested in San Sebastian on charges of attacking health workers. Ac-
cording to police the woman had become very aggressive. The bitten man needed hospital treatment, while the woman was arrested.

What to do in the event of an emergency in Spain 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. In Spain there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws. Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place. National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.
The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 health emergencies 080 - firefighters. By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report.
091 or 902 102 112 from 9am to 9pm
Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit. You can also fax or SMS 112.
Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

Women’s freedom plea SPANISH MEP, María Eugenia Rodríguez Palop has written to the high representative of the European Union, Federica Mogherini to push the Iranian government to release three Iranian women jailed for protesting the mandatory wearing of the Hijab. The first vice president of the Commission on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, María Eugenia Rodríguez Palop has asked
that the charges be dropped and the women to be released after they were jailed for publically demonstrating against the wearing of a full veil during International Women’s Day, on March 8, which took place in the Tehran subway. Arabshahi, Yasaman Aryani and Mojgan Keshavarz were sentenced to a total of 55 years in prison for breaking strict Islamic laws. The Spanish government representative is concerned that
the women have not had access to proper legal assistance during the process, including an appeal. Palop is angered that this latest in a series of anti-hijab arrests ‘appears to be a strategy against women’s movements that defend their rights, like the so-called White Wednesday.’ Palop has also insisted that the women ‘have contact with their families and with those who will legally represent them’ as written in the formal letter.
Grizzly find in Jaen home GUARDIA CIVIL have launched an investigation after Local Police found the badly decomposed bodies of a middle-aged couple in their home in La Carolina in Jaen last week. The grizzly find followed neighbours’ reports of a strong smell emanating out of the property.
The cause of death of the 43-year-woman and the 60-year-old man is as yet unknown and will have to be determined by an autopsy, according to Spanish media reports. La Carolina mayor Yolanda Reche said the whole town was “dismayed” at what had happened, adding that the couple had been well-known, Spanish press reported.
Film award ‘overdue’ THE Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar finally won the Golden Lion of Honour from the Venice Film Festival held in Italy. The Manchego/born director has had to wait over 30 years for the recognition of his work and upon receiving the award declared that it was ‘poetic justice.’ During his illustrious career he has been behind over 20 films spanning more than three decades and has been considered one of the most important and influential Spanish filmmakers of this generation. Upon receiving the prize from fellow filmmaker Luis Buñuel, he welcomed the fact that he had finally been recognised by the board. He said: “I think that if you live long enough, you end up being right.” He commented that the
Golden Lion award was his recognition for his performance ‘for the whole race’ but pointed out that the honour was 31 years late for a film he released in 1988. This was a direct reference to the movie ‘Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios’ (Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown) which received critical acclaim at the time.

DECISION: The Sevilla-based rap group SFDK no longer welcome at BioRitme Festival.
Rap group banned THE BioRitme Festival has denounced the hip hop group SFDK for rejecting a gender training course after a complaint by a festival assistant was lodged regarding the group’s apparently sexist lyrics. The organisers of the festival requested that the group, following their performance, took part in a gender sensitivity course. They refused and therefore the festival organising committee banned the duo from performing there again. The woman who lodged the complaint met with the band afterwards along with members of the gender commission to ex-
plain that the lyrics ‘hurt her feelings’ and that their performance went against the festival’s ‘protocol against machista aggressions.’ Following the meeting and the apparent attitude and difficult nature of the band’s management, the decision was made. “At the BioRitme Festival we are working for the construction of leisure spaces with a feminist perspective,” said a spokesperson for the organisation. “BioRitme is working to prevent, tackle and make visible the machista and LGBT aggressions and we understand this performance as part of the problem.”

Forces uniting against crime CRIME fighters are joining forces in the battle to restore law and order in Barcelona. Officers from both the Catalan regional law enforcement agency, the Mossos d’Esquadra, and the Spanish National Police have formed a coalition to fight the increasing number of crimes committed on the streets of Barcelona. The Catalan capital is currently experiencing a record number of street crime and youth delinquency and figures have shown that since 2018, crime rates have risen by 17 per cent. There has also been an increase of 30 per cent on violent thefts. Since April, officers from both units have been patrolling the city in an attempt to clamp down on thefts, drug dens and pickpockets. The National Police are also checking immigration papers of any of the apprehended suspects, an ability that only they can execute, and issuing deportation orders for repeat offenders of foreign nationality. In their latest operation, officers from both forces conducted a patrol of the city’s subway system. Currently there are around 100 known pickpockets operating in the underground at any
one time. Although patrols aren’t a new thing, the presence of the National Police has given the Mossos extra authorities to check the statuses of the offenders in Spain. During the operation, officers identified 70 people, 30 of whom were taken to the police station in La Verneda. After checking their documents, the National Police held 22 individuals for violating immigration laws, and those with a long criminal record will face deportation. Although the two forces often work together during investigations, this first for a joint patrol has come about after the Mossos were admitted into the Intelligence Centre Against Terrorism and Organised Crime (CITCO), a coalition that brought together the organisations properly for the first time. Relations have also improved between the two forces after tensions boiled over during the secession attempt by Catalan separatists. Appointments in top positions following the unauthorised independence referendum of October 1 have led to better working relationships and have led to this joint venture in battling street crime in Barcelona.
HORROR STABBING: Brit boy stabs parents in Tenerife and then tries to kill himself.
Teen stabs parents in front of tourists A BRITISH teenager has stabbed his parents in Tenerife before jumping from a considerable height, according to reports. The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon in the heart of a popular tourist area in the town of Costa Adeje, which is in the south of the island. The family are British na-
tionals who live on the island. All three family members are in hospital with considerable injuries. Police are describing the attack as very violent and have launched an investigation. However the investigators believe this is not a typical case of family violence and may be linked to mental health problems the teenager
is thought to suffer. After the stabbing, the boy threw himself down a ravine, the equivalent of five storeys. In the area there are several rocky ravines, without barriers despite being in the centre of the tourist area. The suspect is under police guard in hospital, but has not yet been formally arrested.

Human foot found after floods LOWERING water levels revealed a gruesome find in Arganda del Rey (Madrid) - a severed human foot. Now police are investigating and a search has started for other parts of the body. Teenagers found the foot on August 27 in mud exposed on the river Jarama as the floods that hit the area earlier in the week receded.
After the discovery, Local Police and Guardia Civil were called to the scene. An ambulance was also sent in case the foot belonged to a flood victim and medical care might be needed. Police have discounted the flood victim theory, and have sent the foot for scientific examination to see if a date can be set for when it was severed.

THE Spanish maritime rescue service rescued more than 200 migrants from Mediterranean waters in less than 24 hours. Spanish coastguards stated the migrants from sub-Saharan Africa were found in three separate rafts and were picked up in the Alboran Sea, east of the Strait of Gibraltar between north-eastern Morocco and south-eastern Spain. This is one of the most commonly used routes used among refugees and migrants crossing into Europe from
North Africa. The operation started on Wednesday afternoon last week and lasted hours. Upon arrival in Spain, the migrants were taken to temporary handling facilities in Almeria and Malaga, the coast guard said. The rescue comes as Spain is preparing for the arrival of 15 migrants on a Spanish warship from an Italian port after a prolonged stand-off between Italian authorities and a Spanish-registered humanitarian ship, the Open Arms, which had rescued around 150 most-
ly African migrants at the beginning of August. The migrants were taken to temporary handling facilities in Spain. Spain’s Interior Ministry has stated that by mid-August this year the number of migrants arriving by sea was down 42.5 per cent compared to the same period last year just under 14,600 compared to more than 25,300 in 2018. It’s estimated 15,000 people have died or gone missing in the perilous sea voyage since 2015.

CARLOS BAOS WE CAN HELP YOU WE occasionally receive en quiries from clients who have received incorrect advice and even deliberate misinformation from some of the ‘professionals’
FEATURE
Use an independent lawyer when buying or selling a Spanish property who have been involved in the process of buying or selling their properties in Spain, sadly includ ing agents, consultants and banks.
For this reason and to ensure the legality of the transaction, we strongly believe that it is es sential to hire the services of an independent lawyer, so if there is any problem you would be able to claim damages due to their liability. Always remember to ask your lawyer to confirm their registration number on the ter ritorial Law Society list they be long to. You can check if a lawyer is properly registered by looking on the following website: http://www.abogacia.es/servi ciosabogacia/censodeletra dos/ and you should also be aware that to register with the Spanish Law Society, lawyers must hold professional liability insurance. A number of clients have told
us that they have been recom mended to use the services of a particular lawyer by the estate agent or the seller or promoter they are purchasing through. We believe that in such cases there can be a clear conflict of interest as it is essential that the lawyer chosen only looks after the client’s interest and rights. Here at White Baos Lawyers we advise against contracting a lawyer who has a professional relationship or represents any of the other parties of the trans action. In addition, an independent lawyer can avoid unnecessary economic damages. Without going into great de tail today, we can relate that re cently we warned an expatriate client buyer of a potential incor rect action that a bank wanted
to him to follow. He had been told by this bank that as a necessary part of the mortgage loan he had applied for, the client had to take out life insurance, which was unique and carried a prepaid premium of €30,000, which was more than 10 times the normal cost of such a premium in the open market. Clearly, this was a real abuse and apparently the bank was in troduced to the client by the agent as the best possible bank in Spain to obtain a mortgage loan. An independent lawyer will tell you that you should com pare different banks’ offers be fore agreeing a mortgage loan or opening an account and even if the lawyer can recommend some banks they will always ad
vise you to compare between as many as possible in order to be able to enter into the most suitable contract for your needs and the same applies to insur ance companies, currency ex change companies, etc. An independent and expert lawyer can provide you with in formation about the process of buying or selling in Spain, draw ing up the contract that best suits your circumstances, pro tecting your rights and will en sure that the property you want to buy is recorded with the cor rect land registry, urban, plan ning, or cadastral status. Naturally they will also point out the possible risks involved in the purchase or sale of any property. Contact us and we will help you.

Mass illegal border crossing at Ceuta A TOTAL of 153 migrants have entered the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta in a mass border crossing that left 11 Guardia Civil with ‘minor’ injuries. Around 250 people of sub-saharan origin - all described as ‘young’ - are thought to have made the attempt to enter at the sea-border wall at Benzu, where the 8.2km long double fence ends and where the Ministry of the Interior executed works at the beginning of 2018 to try to waterproof it. The immigrants who made it all headed straight for the Centre for Temporary Stay of Immigrants (CETI). According to some of the immigrants, the group had been preparing for entry for five months. They executed their plan through the perimeter gates, taking advantage of intense early morning fog to pass without being seen.

Benidorm NEWS Not a picnic ground THE organisers of Benidorm’s Low Festival depend on income from onsite bars, they said. They were responding to complaints from Facua consumer association that festival-goers were not allowed to take their own food and drink with them. Facua complained about 40 festivals and similar events held in 2019, maintaining that their principal activity was supposed to be music, ‘not catering.’ Carolina Rodriguez, director of the Low Festival in Benidorm and Spring Festival in Alicante, argued that festival-goers were attending a private event. “You wouldn’t go to a bar, a restaurant or a concert hall with your own drink or a bocadillo,” she said. “It’s also obvious that a festival depends on its bars and what is sold inside the festival site,” she pointed out.

Between 12,000 and 15,000 visitors have arrived for the Festival and, as in previous editions, the British are the biggest group, accounting for 70 per
cent of the total. They are followed by France and Germany with a notable increase each year in Russian arrivals. The organisers also revealed that during the first editions of Benidorm Pride Festival, Spanish tourists accounted for roughly 10 per cent of the total although one of the promoters, Santos Torres, said that since promoting Benidorm as Gay Friendly, the town is very much on the map for the Spanish LGTBI collective.

Licensed to shoot at 15 FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Paula Morcillo Sempere recently came second in the junior category of Spain’s national Trap 5 Shooting Championships. Paula, who has already made a name for herself as a member of Alfaz’s Basketball club, took out her firearms licence only a few weeks ago. She did this on the advice of her father, Antonio Morcillo, who belongs
to the Alfaz Clay Pigeon Shooting Club and has taught his daughter the basics of handling a shotgun. Armed with the licence, Paula set off for Cheste where she came second in her category, a win that also entitled her to compete in the Trap 5 World Championship in Cheste (Valencia) where she is again likely to produce a surprise result.

Province’s disappearing trees ALICANTE Province has lost 9,305 hectares of trees, equivalent to 9,000 football pitches over the past 10 years. The oxygen these trees would have generated could also have covered the needs of 334,000 people each day. According to the Ministry of Agriculture’s annual Survey of Surface Areas and Crop Yields, the province had 125,101 hectares of productive trees and vines in 2008. By 2018 this was reduced by 7 per cent to 115,796 hectares. Although ozone levels are less of a problem for Calpe and La Marina Alta, these exceed

cante City, Elda, Pinoso, Elche, Orihuela and Torrevieja.
The province’s overall loss cannot be described as unimportant, said the survey which pointed out that the lost trees were not only oxygen-producers, but also a sump for the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Twenty-seven per cent of the Valencian Community’s total area is cultivated land and Alicante Province has 25 per cent of land formerly used for cereal, fodder and hay, falling from 177,525 hectares in 2008 to 133,245 hectares in 2018. The construction industry and agriculture’s slim profit margins are partly responsible for the reduction, while Eladior Aniorte, president of the Young Farmers’ Association (Asaja) blamed lack of water. The Xylella Fastidiosa bacterium has also played a huge part in decimating the province’s almond trees.

They confiscated the fireworks and issued fines which, in line with Generalitat directives, could cost the tourists up to €18,000. The town hall called for a sense of responsibility and reminded residents and tourists that it would react ‘implaca-

The same municipal sources called on companies and private individuals who rent out properties to remind foreign tourists of the town’s fire-prevention restrictions.

In a recent interview, leading doctor and president of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology, Pere Godoy has stressed the importance of immunisation against the disease. He is campaigning for the 40 to 50 age group to be completely vaccinated after a report by the World Health Organisation showed that the measles is still a global issue. When talking specifically about his home country of Spain, Godoy is frustrated that the means to eradicate the disease are already in place, it is however the lack of specific policies and lack of awareness of the public that is preventing the disease being wiped out. His primary goal is aimed at the 40 to 50-year-old group, as in the 1970s the disease had all been wiped out and therefore

Navas & Cusí managing partner, Juan Ignacio Navas said: “The work of

the European Commission is consis tent over time in terms of both the number of cases and the number of sanctions. “The conclusion is that Brussels has taken seriously its role of ensuring real competition in the market, avoiding abuses and cartels.” Practically all industrial sectors have been affected, but the biggest fine was imposed on a cartel of truck manufac turers who were hit with penalties of €3.807 billion, followed by manufactur
ers of televisions and computers, with a fine of €1.409 billion. The biggest fine for a single compa ny was the €1.008 billion handed to Daimler. Scania was punished with €880 million and DAF with €752 mil lion. In other sectors such as banking there have also been high fines, includ ing the €465 million Deutsche Bank had to pay. The report shows that more than 50 per cent of fines are less than 1 per cent of revenue, but in around 5 per cent of cases the fine amounted to 10 per cent of company turnover.
Inflation falls THE Consumer Price Index (CPI) recorded another slow down in August by marking a yearonyear rate of 0.3 per cent. This was twotenths lower than in July and the lowest level since September 2016, according to the National Sta tistics Institute, which attrib utes decline to a fall in elec tricity prices.

Jobs cost of overtime THE Spanish economy could create 180,000 more full-time jobs a year if overtime was not worked, according to estimates which have been released by the UGT trade union, with unpaid extra hours costing workers €2.3 billion in lost wages.
STARTED: Construction of the wind farm has begun.
BBVA going green ENDESA, through its renewable energy subsidiary Enel Green Power España (EGPE), has begun construction of the 35 megawatt (MW) Primoral wind farm, which will supply energy to BBVA from the end of this year. The plant, which will be able to generate 108 gigawatt hours per year when it comes into operation, is located in Villamayor de Gallego (Zaragoza) and the investment amounts to €34 mil lion. The construction of this plant is the result of a longterm ener gy purchase and sale agreement signed by the energy company and the financial institution last year. The wind farm will supply 30 per cent of BBVA’s energy con sumption in Spain, while Endesa will supply the remaining 70 per cent using the traditional green certificatebased supply model, both for corporate buildings and in the bank’s branch network.
Prices down AVERAGE fuel prices fell last week with a litre of 95 petrol costing an average of €1.309, according to data published by the EU’s oil bulletin. Diesel was €1.198, the first time it has been below €1.200 since the end of June.

The salaries of seven autonomous communi ties have improved in terms of purchasing power compared to two years ago, especially the Balearic Islands, where the average wage now has €400 more purchasing power and Galicia (€251).
The others to show an improvement are Navarre (€199), the Canary Islands (€163), Cataluña (€118), Extremadura (€22) and As turias (€9).

Currency outlook: Brexit uncertainty intensifies volatility in the Pound
Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.09 to €1.10 GBP/USD: Steady at $1.21 THE pound nosedived at the start of August, with increased Brexit jitters and a shock contraction in UK Gross Domestic Product driving GBP exchange rates to new multi-year lows. However, things were quick to improve. A stream of resilient economic data and a few choice words on the subject of the Irish backstop from German C h a n c e l l o r, A n g e l a M e r k e l , provided a much needed lifeline for Sterling in the second half of the month. But investor sentiment in the Pound slammed on the metaphorical brakes at the end of August as an unyielding

BREXIT JITTERS: Driving GBP exchange rates to new multi-year lows.
Boris Johnson revealed his intentions to prorogue parliament. Expect to see volatility in the pound persist through September as the suspension of parliament and resulting political un-
certainty keeps GBP traders on edge. Euro EUR/GBP: Down from £0.91 to £0.90 EUR/USD: Down from $1.11
to $1.10 Tr a d e i n t h e e u r o r e m a i n e d mixed last month, with EUR investors narrowing their sights on European Central Bank (ECB) monetary policy. EUR exchange rates enjoyed some positive movement through the first half of August - mostly at the expense of weaker peers - but talk of a ‘substantial’ stimulus package from the ECB in September and mounting fears for a German recession subdued the single currency through the second half. All eyes will turn to the ECB in September, the extent of the bank’s dovish tone likely to exert significant pressure on the euro one way or the other. US Dollar
USD/GBP: Steady at £0.82 USD/EUR: Up from €0.89 to €0.90 The US dollar remained one of the strongest performers in currency markets throughout August, but still faced considerable headwinds. Probably the largest hurdle came when the US bond yield curve inverted for the first time in a decade, stoking fears for an imminent US recession. Additional volatility resulted from heated and heightening USChina trade tensions, though these appeared to mellow toward the end of the month. Looking ahead, the Fed is widely expected to implement another rate cut this month, with the US dollar vulnerable to additional losses if the bank signals further easing.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT OH the pure irony. During this latest wave of civil disruption the protesters were screaming for democracy, while actually demonstrating against a democratic decision! A total of 17.5 million UK residents voted to leave the EU. There was no talk of deals or conditions. It was in or out. Any ‘deals’ were supposed to be negotiated in the two/three year preparatory period between the vote and complete withdrawal. Since the re mainers unexpectedly lost the referendum, they have managed to stall, stymie and generally pre vent UK companies from exploring a whole gam bit of untapped world business markets lucra tive ventures which could have resulted in vast trading expansion and beneficial results for the UK. With their lies, false rumours and factors of fear, they have plunged the UK in to a morass of indecisions and red herrings, which have utterly wasted three years of its precious time. This has undoubtedly cost the country billions in lost revenue and profits. These people would n’t know democracy if it jumped up and slapped them in the face. In my opinion they are not pa triots, they are traitors, who have done, and are continuing to inflict, possibly irreparable damage to the United Kingdom. Ninetynine per cent of these ovine street demonstrators were remain

ers, disgruntled left wing losers, whose selfserv ing leaders will use any excuse to promote their own hard left ideals and must actually take re sponsibility for Johnston’s decision to suspend parliament. Their whole uninformed biased opinions were to me summed up by the young pink haired
woman who was interviewed on TV recently. Would she accept the result of a second referen dum if it still voted to leave? ‘No, I would not’, she spouted haughtily. Why is that, asked the in credulous interviewer? ‘Because I believe in a democracy,’ she replied.’ The mind boggles! I don’t know how the rest of this week will pan
out, but despite the BBC informing its viewers in great detail the times and routes of the impend ing London demonstrations, the numbers were nowhere near those anticipated. Oh, and sur prise surprise, arch popularity seeker Jeremy Cor byn has just popped up to inform us that democ racy and free speech are the bedrocks of society; the two great qualities that his leftwing sympa thisers have virtually managed to completely eradicate from our once great country. Give us a break. By the time you read this, the socalled ‘Moth er of all governments’ will have been sitting for two or three days. The ‘moaners’ actually want Boris to ask for a further extension! How much more time do these people actually think it will take to sort out. A week a month a year? What about 2069? That’s a good figure. It’s already taken three years to come up with zilch. For all our sakes, get some cojones, get behind Boris and get away from the shackles of Europe’s fourth Reich. It’s already crumbling. Do you really want to be aboard a sinking ship that is already up to the gunwales!? Keep the faith. Love Leapy. Leapylee2002@gmail.com

A Homage Project NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England WHAT might successfully engage an enthusiast to spend? Big time. One a story, second a history a provenance and third an object. Of course the object may also be perceived as a work of art. An object that occasions a heartthumping excite ment. One such is a car, a homage to the spirits of Ettore Bugatti and Romano Artioli. The first is the progenitor of Bugatti, the manufacturer of hyper sports cars while Romano Artioli built the extraordinary EB110 to mark the 110th birthday of Ettore Bugatti in 1991. Powered by a 550 bhp engine and a quad turbo V12 engine the EB110 was a super sports car of the 1990s one of the fastest cars of an era that included McLaren F1. Centodieci is Italian for 110. To mark the 110th anniversary of the founding of the leg endary marque the modern Bugatti Automo biles SAS has designed the Bugatti Centodieci with echoes of the former super sports car of the 1990s. Instead of the V12 the Centodieci has an eightlitre W16 engine with 1,600 bhp and springs from 0 to 100 kph in 2.4 seconds , to 200
The front drops very low,the iconic Bugatti horseshoe has been reduced accordingly. kph in 6.1 seconds and to 300 kph in just 13.1 seconds; the top speed is elec tronically limited to 380 kph. A sensational power to weight ratio is achieved of 1.13 kilograms per horsepower. “The increased power and lower weight further improves performance for better acceleration at high speeds. The Centodieci offers our customers an improved power to weight ra

tio and more dynamic handling,” says Stephan Winkelman, CEO of Bugatti Automobiles. Achim Anscheidt , Bugatti Director of Design , explained the design process, “The challenge was not to allow oneself to be captivated too much by the design of the historic vehicle and work solely in retrospect, but instead to create a modern interpretation of the shape and technol ogy of that time.” More extreme than the Chiron and Divo, timeless as the La Voiture Noire, the Centodieci is one of a kind Bugatti for the enthusiast. The front of the Centodieci drops very low, its depth revealed only in profile, with the newly developed deep seated front spoiler and the threesection air intakes providing a perfect match to the flat horseshoe shaped radiator. The rear of the Centodieci relies on a wide air outlet opening bringing to life the flying tail light elements. Owners may select any Bugatti colour, for the special edition Bugatti Centodieci to be hand crafted in Molsheim, France. Revealed at the Concours d’Elegance Pebble Beach, extraordi nary , exclusive, a select series of 10 vehicles will be built, nine to be delivered in 2021 to owners. Base prices start at €8 million plus tax. Nick Horne, London, England

ALTHOUGH there are a plethora of different barbecues in the market place, the Traeger Grill is head and shoulders above the rest. Who wants to be locked into a hot kitchen when the Spanish weather allows for outdoor cooking for a great deal of the year and you can forget charcoal or gas as the very easy to use Traeger barbecues are the perfect answer and are available from Barbecue World? Let’s face it, if anyone knows anything about barbecues it’s the Americans and the Traeger Grill was developed in Oregon more than 30 years ago with the intention of making cooking on a barbecue easy and care free in order to produce the best flavour and balance possible. Even if you are new to the art of barbecue, you control your cooking with ease thanks to the grill’s six in one versatility. You can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbecue, so whether you fancy ribs, a pizza, seafood, vegetables or even an apple pie, this is the grill for you. Lay out your favourite food on the specially developed original wood fired pellet grill which is as easy to use as a gas fired barbecue, but with the flavour you can get from charcoal without the mess and look forward to a dining experience. Real wood is the base for the pellets and users say that the resulting flavour is much better than anything you can obtain from gas or charcoal and it is so much easier to control. Traeger’s ease of use and simple controls let you focus on what matters: your food, your
IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man THIS article is being written on August 28. To most this doesn’t mean a thing, but to me it means a lot. It’s my Mum’s birthday and she would have been 93 today if she hadn’t been tak en from me on February 25, 2012. That date is significant too as it’s Dr S’s birthday. I often think of my Mum but par ticularly today and recently as I was asked if I could have anything in the world, what would I have. After much thought, and dis missing material things, I decided I would settle for one more cup of tea and a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with my Mum. One more chat about all the stuff we talked about her grandchildren, what TV shows she had seen, her surviving family members. She was one of 10 brothers and sisters. It makes me very grumpy and sad that I can’t do that any more. We talked about all sorts of things. She was a very kind woman. I had never heard

her say a bad word about anyone and if Mrs S would ever dare say anything that may be considered a complaint about me, my Mum would always just respond, “Oh but he works so hard and smells so lovely.” I was the youngest and her favourite. I know that because she told me and I could do no wrong in her eyes and believe me when I was a kid I was a handful, but not to my Mum. But if I could have that one last sit down with her, I would have begged her to have the treatment that was offered to her to see if anything could be done to help cure the cancer she had but refused because of many reasons, none of which was because the type she had was untreatable, because it was. So, if you are fortunate enough to have a Mum and maybe you haven’t called her as often as you should or you’ve made an ex cuse not to pop round and see her do it. Don’t put it off because one day she won’t be there any more and then you will regret it like I am right now as I write this. So that’s my grump this week. It’s dedi cated to all the Mums out there that read my ramblings each week. You are all the most amazing people and I salute you all.

Hallelujah! There is passion in the air! A YOUNG ballerina is taking her skills to new heights when she makes her ariel dance debut at the legendary Benidorm Palace. Talented Laura Cano Climent, aged 12, will be stunning guests when she per forms for the first time suspended on silk drapes on September 29. Laura, who started dancing at three years old, began training to dance on ‘the silks’ after being inspired when she first saw the art form. She says simply: “I saw someone per forming and felt I really wanted to do that.” The determined youngster worked for 12 months to build sufficient strength and now trains for up to two hours a day most days of the week with a Russian coach. Her spectacular act involves climbing the 16.5m drapes hanging high above the stage and supporting herself during a se ries of choreographed moves combining the beauty and finesse of ballet with the guts, strength and courage of acrobatics. Her graceful movements will be accom panied by music from singer Ben Ashley who will sing Hallelujah, a song that was recently a hit for Il Divo. Laura is the grandaughter of the owner of Benidorm Palace, Christine Climent, so being in the theatre is second nature for her. She shows true professionalism as she works out and practises her act encour aged by her grandmother, mother and her coach to take her talent right to the top. The show on September 29 is about raising money for an animal charity, Manos and Patas (Hands to Paws). Manos and Patos raises money to sup port animal charities with the costs of vaccinations, a chip, a pet passport, home visits when adoption comes along, and care while all this happens. Many animals are wounded and need specialist care. Examples of the work the charity does include Eddie, a dog so traumatised by whatever happened to him, he just wants to lie up in a corner next to a wall. His spirit is broken. It will take a long time to build his faith in humans and even other dogs again. This takes care and a lot of love. It takes time too. Volunteers are needed to go and sit with him just to get him to like company again. Crumpet was found on the street with both front legs
broken. How he sur vived and for how long is anyone’s guess. His story though is one of ul timate joy, his legs were fixed, and he has full use of them now. Better still he lives a joyous life in a forever home where he is cher ished. Another dog, middle aged, was found on the street with double hip displaysia. He had been abandoned as the owners did not want to pay for the expen sive operation. He was operated upon, and now lives in a forever home run ning, jumping and being loved in the UK. All year round, bags and boxes of unwanted cats and dogs, often still blind DEBUT: A they are so young, are passion for found at the rubbish the silks. containers. They often die. If they can be res cued it will take weeks of 24/7 care for them to survive. Animal lovers who want to help the charity can go along on September 29 to Benidorm Palace. Those who can’t make it to the event can always drop a dona tion in at the box office, donate a raffle prize or buy raffle tickets. The charity also welcomes donations at the dog pound on a Wednesday morning. People can donate cash, flea collars, old blankets and old towels. Volunteer dog walkers are also needed On September 29, doors open at 12 noon, eating is around 1pm and the vari ous acts performing will be completed around 6.30pm.

Legal Aid in Spain CONSULAR MATTERS WHEN I first started my legal practice I worked as a Spanish ‘Legal Aid’ lawyer (abogado de oficio) for the first 20 years of my career combined with the work in my own law firm and my duties as a member of the board of directors of the Malaga Bar Association. I don’t accept these cases any longer, but I accept extraordinary pro bono cases. I fully support legal aid because it remains an important part of the Spanish legal system enabling those people who cannot afford a lawyer the opportunity to be repre sented and have their case heard be fore the Spanish Courts. In this article I will give an explana tion of the Spanish legal aid system for private individuals. Of course, like

all my articles and Facebook posts this isn’t legal advice and if you find yourself in a position where you need legal advice then you should contact an expert. In Spain there are in stances where you have to have a lawyer, so in some cases if you don’t want a lawyer the court will appoint one regardless of your wishes. The disadvantage of the legal aid

scheme are that you do not get to choose the lawyer who represents you, the lawyer is chosen by the Bar Association, but they are competent to carry out the work for you and have passed an exam to be a legal aid lawyer. The Bar Association can only appoint a lawyer if you have a case that will be heard in court for exam ple a criminal case or a divorce.

Once the lawyer has been appoint ed they have to provide the same service as a lawyer that you choose and pay for yourself. Whist the Bar Association appoints the lawyer they don’t decide if you have the right to have legal aid, this is done by the Junta de Andalucia here in Andalucia. To qualify for legal aid you have to be Spanish or a citizen of - info@justlaw.es
the EU or a foreign person who is legally here in Spain. Your income will be taken into account according to an index called ‘IPREM,’ which is set by the government. This year the gov ernment has set the monthly ‘IPREM’ at €548.60. If you are single and earn less than twice the ‘IPREM’ you quali fy to apply for legal aid. If for example you are married and have up to four members of the family then if you earn less than 2.5 times the ‘IPREM’ you qualify and for more than four members it is three times the ‘IPREM’. Of course, your assets are taken into account. There are excep tional cases where everyone qualifies for legal aid, for example people with disabilities, minors, victims of domes tic violence and terrorism. To apply for legal aid you have to get in touch with the Bar Association in the city where the legal claim is made and you have to send your per sonal financial information and the circumstances of the case. - Tel. 952 666 045

Our changing planet DEAR Leapy, First the usual gush, I agree with quite a lot of your opinions, though not all by any means, just a tad too right wing some times, and certainly not about Brexit. Immigrants definitely, living in Felanitx we are on the front line. Twenty plus years ago not an Arab to be seen around town, now in some areas it is hard to find a Mallorcan. Regarding climate change, full marks for including the background science. However I am amazed how you brush it off as a natural phenomenon we have to put up with (Issue 1782). Surely in your research for the piece you must have read the fact that the real problem is not that change is happening. The real problem is the rate of change which has rapidly increased over the last 200 years, since our industrial revolution started pumping things into the atmos phere that were not there before. The science, the records, the intelli gence we have created in our best scien tists all point to inescapable facts we are rapidly screwing up our planet and have little time to do anything about it. Never mind the fact that properly doing the right things mean a change in lifestyle for the developed world that will be very hard to implement until the crisis is loom ing too close to avoid. You and I, our generation had the best the world had to offer in so many ways. Those born in a developed country be tween 1945 and 1960 are the luckiest people alive. Those coming along behind will be stuck with more problems than I care to list here. Please send my regards to Char lene, we tenpin bowled in the same team for a while. John Little
Pool closures IN Gran Canaria they have a policy to only close pools for two hours and section twometre areas off after defecating inci dents. If you look on the Facebook pages it’s a regular occurrence. It happened twice in the same day in the same pool recently! Faye Firth
INDUSTRY: Prompted a rapid rate of change.
Speaking ‘slanglish’ I RARELY if ever comment on issues raised, but your piece on ‘slanglish’ (Nora Johnson 1782) touched an issue that seems to pass by most people. The example you gave of a reporter, and we know who that is for Sky news, I think it’s Sky not BBC unable to pronounce.
HAVE YOUR SAY
‘Ing’ at the end of a word illustrates the lack now of any management of diction by their pre senters or reporters. They should be setting the example of proper pronunciation. Similarly the response to a ques tion by most of them is ‘yeah.’ I could say a lot more but I’ll leave it there. I doubt it will change. Peter French

Diana would be so proud of her boys and a doting Nannie to her grandchildren. Bev Taylor So so sad a beautiful woman taken far too soon. RIP our Diana. Pat Reid She was lovely, gone too soon she was our lady Diana, she was the people’s princess RIP. Eve Guest Good, glad now let justice begin. Debbie Harrison
ONE thing the UK and Spain has in common is the lack of a stable government. The days are long gone when the British people could cast their eyes across to Europe and sigh at the ‘strange’ systems that led to minority governments. Ever since the Brexit vote the UK’s political system has been in turmoil. In Spain, where the old two-party system was effectively broken in 2015 by the rise of Cs and Podemos, it mostly boils down to the economy, in the UK Brexit can be blamed. The deadlock in Spain has allowed regional parties, such as those from Cataluña, to hold the key to whether an effective government can be formed. Over in the UK a similar scenario over Brexit is being played out. Without the votes of the DUP the Conservatives would not have a majority. Without the support of the SNP (by no means a given) Labour has no (or little) chance of taking the reins. In Spain this instability means that central government cannot release more than €5 billion of funds to regional governments, heralding a return to austerity. In the UK, government has been paralysed in terms of legislation - Brexit business has gone on interminably as politicians squabble. The lesson both countries need to take is quite simple. Tone down the confrontation and work together to find solutions. All politicians always say they are on the side of the people perhaps they should remember this and come up with solutions that will work for the people and not their own political careers.

Oh dear, what a shame... never mind! Take your life in your own hands.. these beautiful creatures have no choice and are literally fighting for their lives. God bless you.. tourists.. please don’t attend these atrocities... Teresa Tracey Ramsey I would like to understand why Spain can continue with its argument for cultural rituals, giving them the right to torture animals. We’ve evolved from many horrible rituals like burning witches and buy ing and selling slaves through education, higher un derstanding and living in the present time!! So, are we saying Spain continues with its traditions and cultures because they are less educated? Silvia Rohm Slanina

Hell of a bike show By Steve Kenyon THE ninth Costa Blanca custom bike show rolled into the town of Albir on Sunday September 1 to the sound of roaring exhaust pipes and live, very loud rock music. Bikes arrived from as far afield as Ro mania, lined up in the streets with chrome as far as the eye could see. The event was organised, as in the years before, to support a local charity, by the 20 members of the Costa Blanca Hells Angels under the banner of the Custom Bike Show. This year, working with the Alfaz del Pi Town Hall and Lo cal Police, all monies raised will go to providing school books to those fami lies not in a position to pur chase them themselves. The beautiful and serene surroundings of Albir’s Euca lyptus park was transformed for the day into a bikers’ paradise with popup shops selling every thing from clothing, jew ellery, Harley Davidson rentals to cus tom resprays. Supporting the lo cal Hells Angels were many other bike clubs includ ing the Devil Dolls of Sweden and Alicante’s Black Riders. On stage the music was provided through out the day by the bands Happy Freuds, Reverend Wet Finger and the London Blues Company playing a combination of original material, classic rock and punchy blues. Beneath the cover of the huge eu calyptus trees, hundreds of leather clad revellers enjoyed the music, fu elled and refreshed by burgers, hot dogs and beers from the nearby cater ing tents. The highlight came with the judging of the selected bikes, with the winner of the people’s vote going to Big Steve with his bike Big Dog Chopper in candy red with 24 karat gold leaf. Both first and second prizes from the judges’ choices went to Rune Skullerud from Norway. Rune owns the motorbike workshop IronBoys in Torrevieja where he builds and sells custom bikes. As the day drew to an end and the park returned to its usual tranquillity, you could only feel a debt of gratitude to the guys and girls that had organised the event. Not only for the important charity work they had done, but for creating an annual festival that grows in size and importance year after year.
SPECTACLE: An enormous array of bikes on show.
BIKERS’ PARADISE: Harley Davidson’s were among the bikes parked up.
PE OP LE ’S VO TE : Wi nn er Bi g St ev e wi th his Big Dog Chopper.
JUDGE’S CHOICE: Rune Skullerud with his two bikes.

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) A meeting involving business with a senior person brings great benefits. You are wrong to be afraid of asking for what you want because it is necessary. Do not bottle things up. Consider that you have little to lose. When dealing with legal matters, you are well advised to read the small print and look at the timescales involved.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) A recent journey has revealed possibilities. It is in this week that you will realise their potential. Nowhere is this truer than your romantic life, which is on the up. Someone who would not normally attract you comes into your sphere or may have done so last week.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Being at odds with someone close has given you pause for thought. This would be a good time to change the situation for the better. Offering the olive branch is your best approach, but be sure that you are sincere. Sometimes, you are a book easily read.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Such a time of expansion comes rarely, but now you are being handed opportunities. Be sure to make the most of them by being organised enough to take full advantage. With your energy high, you are in a position to steam ahead with plans. Should others feel left out you can find a place for them.

A strong romantic flow to your week could be interrupted. This is because there are some business matters that really do need your attention. Although it is not a particularly good time to make firm financial commitments, there are areas to work on. These are mainly associated with saving money and reorganising.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) This really is a week to get to grips with any healthy eating or exercise regimes. Owing to the influence of Mars, you are in a vigorous and determined mood. You find that your added confidence and healthy glow are attractive to the opposite sex.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) This is a spiritual week and you will be likely to want comfort. Give yourself time alone to look at the world around you and enjoy what it has to offer. As the weekend approaches, you will be able to get more into the mainstream and enjoy the company of others.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23) All may not be what it seems this week and you need to be a little more realistic. This is particularly true when it comes to romance and close ties. Having the wool pulled over your eyes is not desirable and could even see you trip up. A different kind of trip, possibly over a long distance, may bring you face to face with an old friend or relative.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Some difficulty in your love life will need to be handled carefully. Unforeseen developments could take you by surprise (especially if you haven't read this in time). Your need is to avoid telling white lies to get out of a situation. Given time, most situations in this category will ease.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Meetings and travel dominate this week. Being with those who stimulate and inform will be even more worthwhile than usual. A trip that you are not looking forward to can bring added bonuses. Looking to further education at this time, could see you starting a course.

Menopause, male menopause and intimacy - get help from Medcare MEDCARE has been at the forefront of healthcare on the Costa Blanca for well over a decade. And the ethos of the clin ic is to not only care for and treat ail ments, but also assess and give help dur ing changes in life and intimate issues as well. Once a taboo subject, sex and sexual health was a nogo for discussion. How ever, today acceptance has replaced re luctance, and talking about your private life is more acceptable, even in the older generation. In an age where people are living longer, it is more common to have more than one life partner. Whether los ing a partner through illness or divorce, women and men are now embarking on second, third or more relationships. Therefore in order to fully enjoy these new partnerships, it is vital to be open with each other and have a fully confi dential sexual health screening at Med care. Now the full screening has been re duced to just €190. Other things to consider after the age of 50 are the menopause and the male menopause. The menopause is some thing that every woman will experience, at varying ages (the average is 54) and with varying symptoms. Some women hardly experience even the slightest hot flush, whereas others suffer terribly for years. It can have a massive impact on daytoday living for some, and last up to a decade. However, with Medcare’s Menopause Check, you can discuss your
MENOPAUSE: Find out ways to cope. symptoms, have your weight and blood pressure checked, have a hormone pro file blood test to check that you are actu ally going through the menopause and discuss medication and other ways to cope with your symptoms. The Menopause Check is just €69. The Male Menopause (sometimes called the Andropause) is an unhelpful term sometimes used in the media. The label is misleading because it suggests the symptoms some men experience are a result of a sudden drop in testosterone in middle age, similar to what occurs in the female menopause. This is not true. Testosterone levels do start to fall after the age of 30 in men but only around 2 per cent per year. For some men, the de crease is more noticeable and they might develop ‘menopausal’ symptoms which can affect their daytoday life. To find out if you are experiencing the male menopause, Medcare can provide a
Male Menopause Check, which includes a blood pressure and weight check, a testosterone blood test and a discussion about any symptoms and how to man age them or discuss testosterone re placement. This check is €69. Finally, another widespread issue that nobody likes to think affects them is drinking too much alcohol. Living here on the Costa Blanca offers a great quality of life for most residents. With sunshine, fresh fruits and vegetables aplenty and the opportunity for a relaxing alfresco so cial life. However, the perils of this type of lifestyle are clear to health professionals. More patients are displaying signs of drinking more alcohol than is healthy, and as such, more health issues are be coming apparent. Most patients do not need to cut out alcohol all together, but nearly all patients would benefit from a reduction in consumption. You can have a confidential consulta tion with Nurse Susie, she can conduct a short alcohol audit created by Public Health England to decide your health risk and she can talk to you about how to im prove your health.
For your appointment or more information, please call 966 860 258 or email doctors@medcarespain.com.
Risky late dinners? DURING the summer months in particular it is not unusual for Spanish families to be seen dining out and eating after 10pm. Whilst they are clearly used to it, it may be more difficult for expats to follow suit and in fact, a study claims that chang ing your body clock and eating a late dinner, could have nega tive effects on the skin and make it more vulnerable to sun exposure leading to burns and ultimately, skin cancer.A study by the O’Donnell Brain Institute and the University of California Irvine, in the USA, carried out on mice, has shown that eating poorly could have negative ef fects on the skin and make it
more vulnerable. People who delay their evening meal would be more vulnerable to such ef fects as their biological clock of the skin is affected. This change can throw the daily cycle of an enzyme responsible for repair ing skin damage by ultraviolet
(UV) rays, out of sync. Howev er, despite these findings, the researchers have said that fur ther research is needed to un derstand feed patterns and UV damage in people, especially how they affect the pigment cycles.

FRESH: Cold showers do more than just wake you up in the morning.
www.euroweeklynews.com
HEALTH & BEAUTY
Scottish showers THERE’S something about plunging yourself headfirst into freezing cold wa ter first thing in the morning that really gets you going in the morning. As offputting as it sounds, a cold shower of ten referred to as a ‘Scottish Shower’ or even the ‘James Bond Shower’ can do wonders for getting your morning off to a good start, especially if you’re one of those people who take several hours to fully wake up. Research also suggests that plunging yourself into freezing water may also be good for your physical and mental health. An article published in the North American Journal of Medical Sciences revealed that cold water can provide relief from pain and inflammation, as well as aiding and abetting almost all of your body’s systems. A Dutch study also re vealed that taking cold showers increases alertness and produc tivity and reduces sick days. So the next time your boiler breaks down don’t panic, just brace yourself and embrace the cold.
BB Glow A SKIN glow treatment is the latest trend in skin care technology. This method of skin care is a popular treatment all over Europe, producing amazing results. The BB Glow treatment is an intensive skin treatment that uses a Dermapen to penetrate the layers of the skin. This penetration GLOWING: Intensive treatment. stimulates natural collagen production as well as offering a myriad of other benefits. Collagen is a natural protein found throughout the body, and it helps to give structure, elasticity and vibrancy to your skin. Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less collagen, which in turn leads to wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. Stimulating collagen production can improve the look and texture of your skin and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles quickly, safely and affordably. BB Glow treatments also supply your skin with BB serum, which is made from natural ingredients. The BB serum is applied with the Dermapen, which uses microneedles to penetrate the skin. Microneedles are so small they can barely be felt, and the treatment is gentle. The BB Glow treatment is designed to improve the look and feel of your skin fast, with visible improvements often discernable immediately after your first skin glow treatment. It improves your skin by clearing and unclogging your pores. It also speeds up the growth of new skin cells, which makes your skin healthier and brighter, and reduces the impact of ageing skin cells. Some of the improvements you may notice include: • Fewer freckles • Brighter, more radiant skin • A more even skin tone • Less skin discolouration • Fewer fine lines and wrinkles The most significant advantage of a skin glow treatment is how long it lasts. After your treatment, results can last up to four months. The treatment is safe, and the BB serum is free of parabens, fragrances, alcohol, and allergens. You’ll see results immediately, but the serum will also continue to work for two weeks after your treatment. Many clients repeat the treatment two or three times to maximise its effectiveness. At Derma Clinic Spain we now have a summer offer for this treatment. Visit us on Facebook or Instagram to see our offers, or call for your appointment.

AHEAD of Benidorm’s ninth Pride event, which culminates in a parade of thousands in the resort on Septem ber 7, a row erupted on Facebook when someone described the event as ‘onesided’ and lamented the fact that no events celebrating ‘straight ness’ ever take place. People responded by pointing out that the event was being promoted simply as ‘Pride,’ and that it was a familyfriendly celebration open to all who value tolerance and inclusivity and enjoy wearing wild, wacky and extravagant costumes. Why, even pooches with rainbow ribbons relish the outing, as my photograph taken at Pride 2018 so clearly illustrates. I was about to join in the increasingly acrimonious debate when the thread disappeared. I intended pointing out that ‘Straight Pride’ events ARE taking place. It’s a uniquely American phe nomenon, at least for now, but horrible trends that surface in the US regret tably don’t stay in the US. Why is ‘Straight Pride’ bad? Be

cause the organisers are nasty, white supremacists who use their rallies to generate vicious intolerance towards LGBT communities, people of colour, immigrants and anyone who thinks religion is a pure baloney.
All this is done in the name of ‘fam ily values.’ If you visit California Straight Pride Coalition’s website you’ll learn that it exists ‘to defend the children’ and ‘prevent current and future generations from being de
stroyed by the inherent malevolence of the Homosexual Movement to ward our founding principles.’ Ironically, the coalition’s national motto is ‘normal, natural, healthy, sane’ the very antithesis of what it actually is. This loathsome outfit, headed by a ninnyhammer called Don Grund mann, was due to hold a ‘Straight Pride’ event in Modesto, California last month, but city officials laughingly rejected the event. They had good cause to guffaw. Grundmann, arguing before the coun cil to be allowed to stage his hateful march, accidentally let the cat out of the bag by describing his coalition as ‘a totally peaceful racist group.’ Apart from his involvement with the coalition, Grundmann is a mem ber of The Proud Boys, a farright neo fascist organisation that admits only
men as members and promotes polit ical violence. Last year, in the runup to Benidorm Pride’s 2018 parade, I wrote a piece explaining that the first Pride marches I attended in the 1970s were essentially political in nature, and were not the joyful rallies we see today in cities stretching from Sydney to Tel Aviv. In it I said that in those days we were angry, and had a great deal to be angry about. Back then police ha rassment was endemic, and it was still fresh in many older protesters’ minds that one of Britain’s greatest genius es, Alan Turing, the gay computer ex pert who played a pivotal role in en abling the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, had been prosecuted for homosexuality in 1952. When people advocate ‘Straight Pride,’ they should be aware that what they are effectively calling for is a return to an era in which deranged Christians and neofascist groups felt free to attack, with impunity, LBGT communities. Pride now exists to tell these hatemongers that those dark days are gone, and that we are no longer compelled to accommodate their bigotry by donning mantles of invisibility.

AGGRESSIVE: The 2020 Toyota GR Supra.
2020 Toyota THE new Toyota Supra has been a long time in the making, seven years to be precise, and 21 since the Supra moniker was last used on a Toy ota performance car. It was teased at the 2014 Detroit motor show back in 2014 when it was then called the FT1 Con cept. Since then it has had the internet awash with theories, eager rumours and even criticism, mostly down to the announcement that the new Supra would be produced in collaboration with BMW. It’s not the first time Toyota has partnered with a fellow manufacturer to produce a new model, the GT86/Subaru BRZ, and Aygo/Peugeot 108/Cit roen C1 combinations have all been successful. Toyota ceased production of the straight six en gines many years ago, so for this model they
would have to create a whole new engine, not fi nancially viable, so they went to the company wellknown for making some of the most power ful and exciting straight six’s on the market, BMW. They also took good chunks of the chassis from the German marque too including running gear, engine, gearbox and large chunks of the interior, all borrowed from the BMW Z4. First thing you notice about the new model is its appearance. Low, stout and aggressive. Careful consideration was taken by designers to pay homage to the previous model. It will come in classic Toyota colours, Promi nence Red, Lightning Yellow and Deep Blue Metal lic. UK prices of the new Supra will start at £52,695 for the base model.

Volvo XC40 T4 Momentum ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher VOLVO’S XC40 is the company’s first compact S U V and is described as ‘perfect for youthful people who want a car which reflects their personality.’ Slotted in beneath the larger X C60 and XC90 models in Volvo’s range, the XC40 is priced from €31,884 (£28,965) and comes with two or four-wheel drive, manual or auto gearboxes, petrol and diesel engines and also a plug-in hybrid version. My test model was a T4 in entry level Momentum trim costing €36,750 (£33,385) with a potent 2.0-litre petrol engine and eight-speed auto transmission. This combination delivers a 0-100 kph time of 8.1 seconds and top
COMPACT SUV: Exudes a forceful character.
Facts at a glance Model: Volvo XC40 T4 Engine: 2.0 litre petrol Transmission|: 8-speed automatic Performance: 0-100 kph 8.1 seconds, top speed 209 kph (130 mph) Economy: 12.4 kpl (35.1 mpg) Emissions: 154 g.km

speed of 209 kph (130 mph). Average fuel economy is 12.4 kpl (35.1 mpg) and emissions are 154 g/km. On the road, the XC40 performs impeccably with smooth effortless power delivery from its eager 190 hp engine and with precise and intuitive steering feedback. Its multi-link rear axle and coil springs help provide ex-
ceptional grip and well-balanced ride control. Standard equipment is generous and includes sat-nav, connectivity features, climate control, cruise control, rear parking sensors and multiple drive modes. Safety features include pedestrian, cycle and animal detection, auto emergency braking and lane-keep assistance. My test model also had the Volvo Pro options pack which included extra kit including active bending headlights, larger alloy wheels and powered and heated drivers seat which took the total price to €39,662 (£36,010). Rivals in this sector in-
clude the Mercedes-Benz GLA, Audi Q3 and BMW X1 but I feel that visually, the XC40 has a more imposing presence than most in the class and it exudes a more forceful character. It offers a spacious cabin with five adults accommodated with ease and has a large 460-litre boot which can be expanded to 1,336 litres by folding the rear seats. With a beautifully styled premium-look cabin, functional switchgear layout and easy-to-use central touchscreen, the XC40 greatly impresses and with its pleasing driving dynamics also a strong plus-point, it certainly deserves to be on the short-list of anyone looking to buy a classy compact SUV. Model tested was U Kspecification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

All’s not well for La Liga GIANTS It is a bit early to be talking about crisis at the Catalan club though. Back then Bar ca went on to win a treble under Pep Guardiola. Their poor start to the season shows just how much they rely on Lionel Messi, who has missed every match so far with an injury picked up in preseason. Osasuna’s goals both came from Roberto Morales. The silver lining for Barcelona is 16yearold An su Fati, who became the club’s youngest player to score in La Liga. The left winger was brought on in the second half, and added some much needed penetra tion and firepower to the frontline. Barcelona host Valencia next, while Osasuna hope to continue their positive run against Real Valladolid. Barca’s arch rivals Real Madrid are also struggling
Soler in hot water THERE have been ructions within the Movistar cycling team after Marc Soler was ordered to give up a possible stage win at La Vuelta to fall back and help teammate Nairo Quintana take the leader’s red jersey. A clearly unimpressed Sol er he actually gesticulated wildly on receiving his orders did slow down and watched Slovenian 20yearold Tadej Pogacar race past for his first Grand Tour stage win. A video of Soler’s reaction gained wide exposure, forc ing Movistar team director Pablo Lastras to comment. Explaining that for the team it is all about the race leader ship he said: “The team is working very well. They are all energetic, but all of them. We are going to continue working with the same forces.” For his part, Soler apolo gised in front of the media for the incident in a press conference.

SPORT FOLLOWING the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, Spanish F1 driver Carlos Sainz has spoken about the death of French F2 driver Anthoine Hubert. He said: “What happened on Saturday puts everything into perspective. It was the toughest reminder that motorsport is ex tremely dangerous and every one needs to be aware of the in evitable risks it involves. “Our whole community is go ing through a very tough and emotional moment and all my thoughts go out to Anthoine’s whole family and his friends. We will always carry his memory wherever we race. It is the best tribute we can pay to our fellow driver. Rest in peace.” The race was a bittersweet affair for winner Charles Leclerc. He claimed his first Formula 1 victory of his career and Ferrari’s first in the 2019 less than 24 hours after his friend Hubert passed away after a crash in Sat urday’s F2 feature race.

Bitter-sweet win for Leclerc
“It is difficult to enjoy a first victory on a week end like this. I grew up with Anthoine, and we competed in our first karting race together with Pierre (Gasly) and Esteban (Ocon) in 2005. “These are memories I will keep forever. Losing him on Sat urday was a huge shock, not on ly to me but to everyone in mo torsport. In a way, I am satisfied having won today to remember him in the way he should be re membered. He was a champion, and this victory is for him.” In the race itself, Leclerc demonstrated his talent to take his Ferrari from pole to the che quered flag despite a rapidly closing Lewis Hamilton putting the pressure on in the final laps.

BITTER-SWEET: Leclerc celebrated his win while paying respects to his friend Hubert (inset). Although he lost track posi tion to teammate Sebastian Vet tel during the pit stops, Ferrari instructed Vettel to move aside for the young man from Mona co. He then controlled the race from the front relatively com fortably until Hamilton’s late
charge made him refocus. Leclerc said: “The last few laps weren’t easy. I saw Lewis com ing closer and closer in the mir ror, so I put my head down and tried to focus on the work I had to do in the car. “At the end, I managed to cross the line in first place and
I’d like to thank the team for the hard work they have put in to make this possible.” It was Ferrari’s first victory since Kimi Raikkonen took the honours at last year’s United States Grand Prix. It also made Leclerc the Scud eria’s 39th winner and Monaco the 23rd nation to win an F1 race. The 21yearold also be came the thirdyoungest winner in F1 history. Hamilton spoiled the prospect of a Ferrari onetwo when he passed Sebastian Vet tel, who was struggling with tyres after pitting early. Vettel then pitted again, which allowed Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes to complete the podi um. Sainz’s teammate at McLaren Lando Norris looked to have
sealed fifth spot but he was forced to retire on the last lap with suspected engine failure. That position was inherited by Red Bull’s Alexander Albon, who passed Sergio Perez via the grass on the final lap to take fifth from 17th on the grid in his first race with his new team. Racing Point’s Sergio Perez equalled his best result of the season in sixth, with Toro Rosso’s Daniil Kvyat seventh. Renault’s Nico Hulkenberg crossed the line eighth after An tonio Giovinazzi crashed on the last lap. Next was Pierre Gasly, who was visibly emotional on race morning following the death of Hubert. Lance Stroll made it two Rac ing Points in the top 10 by rounding out the points.
