YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
by Dilip Kuner AROUND 55,000 people joined in the biggest demonstration Cartagena (Murcia) has ever seen to call for the Mar Menor to be ‘saved.’ “ We d o n ’t w a n t a d e a d sea,” cried one group of demonstrators as they passed along a crowded Paseo de Alfonso XIII on Wednesday October 30. It was 7.30 in the early evening and, an hour after the departure, the head of the march had arrived at the doors of the Regional Assembly. And a kilometre further back at the Plaza de Es-
paña, a crowd continued to advance amid a wave of banners, a tide of slogans and a tidal wave of indignation. “Hoga, hoga, hoga, the Mar Menor is drowning,” chanted some young people, amidst the beating of drums. “There must be no treatment with nitrates,” was heard loudly a little further on. Posters with slogans like ‘Idleness, corruption, resignation’ slammed the political system that has allowed the pollution of the environmentally precious lagoon.

MILLIONS of expectant viewers tuned in to Spanish television to watch the electoral debate on Monday. With elections coming up on Sunday, November 10, the presidential candidates were keen to win over voters. The five candidates fiercely defended their corners in a debate that lasted three hours. But many viewers were left disappointed after the contenders reverted to cheap shots and props. Since elections in April, Spanish parties haven’t been able to form a coalition. Thus, resulting in yet another election, in which candidates already seem opposed to working together. Pedro Sanchez, acting president for PSOE, moved slightly away from left-wing politics in a bid to win the centre vote. Left-wing politician and leader of Unidas Ponemos, Pablo Iglesias, reasoned with the president to join forces. On the other side of the spectrum,

Spanish elections impending
HEATED DEBATE: The five candidates competed for the public vote. the right-wing candidates ranged from far-right party Vox to Ciudadanos to centre-right PP. Pablo Casado - running for PP - called Pedro Sanchez out at every chance, whilst Vox leader Santiago Abascal stuck to his electoral programme. Ciudadanos representative Albert
Rivera, surprised the audience by brandishing a broken paving stone as he addressed Cataluña’s situation. General consensus is that this second election won’t succeed in breaking the deadlock and the televised debate has caused further concerns for Spain.
Dragged dog to death on Costa Blanca A MAN has been jailed for six months suspended for two years after his father’s dog died after being forced to run eight kilometres tied to a bicycle. Elche Local Police were called when the body of the pet was found near the Novaire de Elche residence in July 2017. A court judgement read: ‘The defendant had brought this animal from the Monte Sol urbanisation, about eight kilometres away, tied with a rope and a buckle and a nautical knot, the defendant being mounted on a bicycle, and despite the heat, dragging the animal along.’
Police say the hindquarters of the dog were bloodied and the buckle of its collar had ended up ‘stapled’ into its neck. The dog had been acquired from an animal refuge by the convicted man’s father in June 2015, and was about four years old at the time of the incident. The defendant admitted animal abuse and acknowledged the facts, so the judge agreed to suspend the sentence on the condition that he does not offend again for the next two years. He has also been sentenced to two years of disqualification from owning, trading or working with animals.

A critical situation » From Front page THE massive crowds were putting voices and faces to the citizen unrest unleashed by the critical situation facing the lagoon by agricultural, urban and mining pollution. It is an unrest that has been accumulating in recent weeks amongst environmental organisations, neighbourhood associations and concerned locals. The protest movement was triggered by the death of thousands of fish and crustaceans and then the appearance of a ‘green soup’ where the w a te rs h ave t ur ned a m ur ky green. This has been blamed on discharges of nitrates and phosphates finding their way into the lagoon. The protest march had already been called for by the Federation of Neighbourhood Associations of Cartagena (Favcac), with the support of the Association of Naturalists of the Southeast (Anse), Ecologists in Action, the Fishermen’s Guild of San Pedro del Pinatar and the platform Pact for the Mar Menor before these latest incidents. But no one expected it to draw so many people. The environmental disasters to hit the lagoon, and the consequent economic and social effects, fed participation, with bus loads of protestors from all over the Campo de Cartagena and other municipalities of the region. Collectives such as Greenpeace and the Plataforma Pro Soter-
ramiento de Murcia contributed to this, along with those who marched other groups, such as the Plataforma de Afectados por los Metales de la Sierra Minera de Cartagena. At the head of the demonstration were the president of the Federation, Leandro Sanchez, the spokeswoman of Pact, Celia Martinez, and the director of ANSE, Pedro Garcia. In the final manifesto - read before the autonomous parliament by Martinez and by Sonia Vera - they demanded unity to take urgent and definitive measures. They also called for those responsible for the contamination they cited agroindustry - to be punished with the full force of the law. The si t uat i on of t he l agoon i s now on the agenda of politicians. A proposed law will ban irrigation and permit only organic crops in a zone next to the Mar Menor. The regulation would affect the strip of land bounded by the AP-7, the N-332 and the RM-12 to the lagoon and is intended to tackle agricultural run-off polluting the environmentally sensitive sea. An environmental impact report, which the new law is based on, also calls for a ban on the use of slurry as a fertiliser, monitoring of livestock farming, closing down illegal irrigation networks, restricting fishing and developing protected areas in the sea itself. The Mur ci a r egi onal gover nment’s Ministry of Agriculture is now studying the draft law.

THE festival of San Martín or the Humanitarians festival is one of the most popular autumn folklore celebrations, during the time when c ro p s a re s e e d e d a n d f a t tened cattle are slaughtered. This international festivity celebrates Saint Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier known for his kindness and humanitarian beliefs, who later became a French bishop. Legend says he once cut his cloak in half to
share with a beggar during a snowstorm. That same night he dreamt of Jesus wearing his half cloak and telling the angels ‘Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is now baptised, he has clothed me.’ His good humour and kind nature earned him the respect and admiration of his people. Nowadays, Saint Martin is considered protector of beggars and patron of soldiers. This day is also known in some places as Old Hallowmas Eve and will be celebrated all over Europe
Dangerous fire
Cycle friendly ALICANTE’S city council has added three more kilometres of bicycle tracks to the existing network. In Via Parque, the 1.1-kilometre route extends from Avenida Isla Corfu to Calle Teulada while the 2.2-kilometre lane in Avenida de Denia begins at the Colegio Jesuitas and Calle Concha Espina as far as Calle Deportista Alejandra Quereda. Jose Ramon Gonzalez, Mobility councillor explained that as a result, the Isla de Corfu track will now connect the Gran Via and Via Parque. He added that personal mobility vehicles (PMV) will also be able to use the bicycle tracks following the introduction of by-laws allowing them on bicycle lanes, tracks and paths as well as specific roads shared with traffic. City hall has spent €70,340 on the Via Parque route and €95,589 on Avenida de Denia’s, Gonzalez stated.

on November 11. In Spain, this tradition is mostly celebrated in Asturias and Galicia. The occasion begins with a song mass and is follow ed by par ades and dance groups. Food and agrarian products are auctioned and then people enjoy a ‘brotherhood’ meal of fabada, a typical white bean stew. In Galicia, the slaughter of fattened pigs has given way to a popular saying ‘Every pig gets its St Martin,’ meaning everybody gets their comeuppance.
FIREFIGHTERS called to a blaze at a Costa Blanca industrial estate described the incident as ‘highly dangerous.’ The fire started at around 8.15pm on Saturday at Safety Clean, a company located on the Poligono Industrial Mos del Bou in Albatera, in front of the recently inaugurated 40 Grados discotheque. Local Police attended immediately and after contacting a company employee discovered that inside the industrial unit were two tanks holding 25,000 litres of solvent. Potentially, if they exploded, it could have been disastrous. Five teams of firefighters from Crevillente, Elche, Orihuela and Torrevieja fought the blaze while Guardia Civil and Local Police evacuated and cordoned off the area. No one was hurt in the incident.

HERITAGE: Fogueres should be recognised.
UNESCO call for Alicante THE plenary session of Alicante City Council has unanimously approved the start of procedures to apply for the Fogueres de Sant Joan to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status. The president of the Federació de Fogueres, (Federation of the Fogueres) Toñi Martín Zarco, has justified the proposal for the festival to be a officially
recognised as ‘cultural heritage.’ Martín Zarco pointed out that the ‘modern’ version is itself 90 years old, but the custom of burning old junk on the night of Sant Joan goes back much further. “It was in 1928 when this celebration, which today sees more than 10,000 participants, was made official,” he said. Since 1983 the festivals have been declared of international tourist interest but
now he wants a higher status for the festivities. The president put the number of visitors to the city at over a million every June and stressed that the Fogueres de Sant Joan are art, culture and heritage and hoped that this boost would help “everyone to get to know the best festival in the world.” He acknowledged that it will be a long process, but is confident it will eventually receive the UNESCO label.

Good business T H E f i s h f a r m s o ff Guadalmar and Pilar de la Horadada helped the 16 in Alicante P ro v i n c e p ro d u c e 5,000 tons of seabream each year. Over the last two years the output of the local fish farms and others off Moraira, Altea and Campello, has increased by 10 per cent, according to Apromar, the association that represents Spanish producers.
The Valencian Community’s aquaculture sector produces more marine fish than any other Spanish region, followed by Murcia, the Canary Islands, Andalucia and Galicia. The Community raises and sells an annual 15,000 tons of farmed fish, producing more seabream, eels and bass than any other region. It is also the third most important producer of seabass, Apromar announced.
Experts and producers explain that the Mediterranean off the Alicante coast is ideal for producing seabream which needs a temperature that ranges from 18 to 24 degrees. With local sea temperatures varying from 11 to 28 degrees, Guadalmar and Pilar de la Horadada fish farms and others along the Alicante coast can be in production seven months a year, they said.

Four men and a woman, who range in ages from 27 to 54, now face drug dealing charges. The police operations centred on identifying properties the suspects used to store and
distribute illegal substances. One of the operations focused on two individuals police believe were selling drugs in Castalla as well as the provincial capital. As a result of these efforts, the officers were able to locate and arrest both suspects. The other investigation was aimed at identifying and locating three people suspected of
trafficking drugs, mainly cocaine, in the north of Alicante. In the second raid, they had put a watch on the house before moving in and making three arrests. Marihuana, cocaine, hashish, speed, Ketamine and more than 600 ecstasy tablets, as well as a taser and two airsoft gas blowback pistols were found in the two raids.

AGREED: Elche’s provincial court accepted a plea deal.
Brothel madam stays out of jail A BROTHEL ‘madam’ has been given a suspended two-year jail sentence 11 years after she was arrested. She was accused of exploiting immigrant women for prostitution and drugs offences. She had been waiting 11 years to go to trial, but a plea bargain agreement was reached where she agreed to the suspended sentence so the case could be closed. The provincial court in Elche agreed to accept the deal struck between prosecutors - who had originally wanted a two-and-a-half-year sentence on the prostitution charge and four years on the
drugs charges - and the defendant. The woman admitted exploiting mainly illegal immigrants at her villa on the Costa Blanca advertising as ‘Torrevieja VIP 24H.’ According to the prosecution’s indictment, the women were in the chalet ‘in precarious conditions, subject to rigorous and exhaustive controls and working hours, prevented from leaving more than two hours a day, with the defendant appropriating a large part of the money paid by clients.’ She also imposed fines on the women for breaching ‘house rules.’ In addition, the defendant provided the women with
various narcotic substances. In fact, after the police search of the house in August 2008, they found several tools for handling drugs: a precision scale, plastic wrappers for the paper, wires, and shredder with traces of white powder, among others. In addition, police found three bags of cocaine totalling more than 20 grammes, as well as a quarter of MDMA, more than two and a half grammes of hashish, € 4,135 cash and £20. The officers also searched another house owned by the defendant, where they found more drugs proving she was trafficking in narcotics.
Accused of rape THE trial has started of a man accused of keeping captive and raping a woman multiple times in Torrevieja. The Seventh Section of Alicante Provincial Court heard that the defendant repeatedly raped a woman he met during the summer of last year, with the prosecution asking for 11 years in prison for the defendant. Prosecutors say that the incident dates back to July last year when the victim and the defendant met in the town. They met several times over several days, and, on one of those occasions, the woman invited
him to her home. There, according to the victim’s complaint and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, they had consensual sex. But when the woman asked him to leave, he refused and allegedly forced her to have sex on several occasions. The accusation also accuses him of ‘illegal retention,’ as the woman claims that he took her keys away and would not let her leave, although the Public Prosecutor’s Office does not consider this to be proven. The detainee has been in prison awaiting trial since he was arrested.

The owner had been in the shower when she heard noises inside her apartment. She then saw a man escaping through the window of one of the rooms on the lower floor with a rucksack he had grabbed.

They in turn needed fire brigade help to enter the first floor flat in Calle Bella Antonia, Torrevieja at 9am on Wednesday (October 30). Firefighters used a ladder fire engine to reach a window and break in. The 40year-old man was in an advanced state of decomposition, with first indications that he had been dead for six or seven days. Police say that the deceased was mentally ill. The house was full of household goods and waste and in unhealthy conditions. The Guardia Civil is investigating the cause of death, but said everything points to a non-violent death.
Torrevieja sees between 20 and 30 similar cases a year where people die alone inside their home and are not found until days or weeks later. They are mainly elderly people with no family ties.

WORK on a new container port at Cartagena could start in 2023. This is the timescale envisioned in the Port Authori-
ty’s new business plan which was recently authorised by the Ministry of Development. Vice-president of the port’s Board of Directors,
Pedro Pablo Hernandez, explained that the investment forecast for the coming years goes from €38 million reserved for 2020 to €112 million in 2023. This increase within four years, he explained, is justified by the allocation of €78 million to the project for a new container terminal. Scientific work is currently being completed to calculate the environmental impact of the scheme that is planned in El Gorguel cove. However, almost two decades after the start of the process, there is still no date to complete all the essential studies into the impact on the land and marine environment. There is a possibility, once the environmental impact studies are complete, that the Spanish government or European Union could block the project for environmental reasons. Faced with this situation

the port has drawn up an alternative in its master plan which would see the Escombreras dock expanded to accommodate a smaller container terminal than the one designed for El Gorguel. The idea is to build a jetty
parallel to the harbour ’s breakwater and to create between the two an esplanade with the capacity to store one million containers. These facilities would be finished in 10 years and would cost around €480
million, €50 million less than El Gorguel. Container traffic has been falling at the port for some time, and is expected to have dropped 0.8 per cent over last year by the end of 2019.

REMEMBRANCE: An annual event at San Javier. A NAVAL commission headed by Admirals Aniceto Rosique and Juan Sobrino honoured the service’s dead at the Santa Lucia cemetery. Following the tradition of the Submarine Base, they also placed a laurel wreath on the tomb of the sailor and inventor Isaac Peral. The General Air Academy (AGA) held the annual event, in which its members remember the military dead on the occasion of the Day of the Fallen for the Fatherland, on Thursday, October 31. The mayor of San Javier, José Miguel
Luengo, and several members of the Municipal Corporation attended this emotional tribute. The colonel director of the AGA, Manuel de la Chica, presided over the event, which began with the hoisting of the flag to the sound of the national anthem, played by the Music Unit of the AGA. The flag at half-mast especially remembered this year Commander Francisco Marín, who died in a flight accident on August 26, and Commander Daniel Melero and Ensign Rosa Almirón, who lost their lives in another event on September 18.

This year it revolved around the ‘gender digital divide.’ The three companies were commended for their work to ensuring equality in the workplace. The conference was inaugurated by the Provincial President of the Red Cross in Alicante, Francisco Galvañ, and the councillors for Employment and Equality of Alicante City Council, Mari Carmen de España and María Conejero. Before the act of recognition to the companies, the audience listened to a talk from Nuria Oliver, a Doctor in Artificial Intelligence. She said: “Women are incorporated in all fields of knowledge, but not in technology or information technology. Both men and women are victims of gender bias: women undervalue themselves, women undervalue other women and men undervalue women.”

War on waste in Torrevieja
MATTRESSES: There are some who like the discarded furniture. FOLLOWING the news that Torrevieja spent €1 6 3 , 0 0 0 re m o v i n g 9,000 discarded mattresses from the city’s s t re e t s i n j u s t t h re e months, the council h a s d e c l a re d w a r o n fly tipping.
In a recent crackdown on the dumping of household items by bins and on streets, Local Police have issued fines to 69 individuals and companies. But the sanctions total just €6,303, a fraction of the cost to the city of clearing away the
discarded items and keeping pavements and streets accessible. Now the council is set to increase the maximum levels of fines to further discourage the practice, and help recoup some of its costs. Under the new regime the fines would have been a total €26,830. Since August the council has dedicated four police officers to monitoring the uncontrolled dumping of mattresses, furniture and appliances as well as garden waste. While they have been out and about trying to identify culprits, they have also been relying on an anonymous complaints system where people can send videos and images of people dumping items to porunatorrevieja limpia@gmail.com. Not all the problems come from locals though. Local Police have reported that lorries from neighbouring municipalities have been seen driving into the city and dumping bulky items. Police cited a specific case of a company from Ciudad Quesada (Rojales), but added that companies from Orihuela and Murcia were also involved. Individuals can dispose of their mattresses for free at the ecopark, while it costs the council €18 a piece to pick them up from the streets, while rubble up to 400 kilos is also free to dispose of at the park.

In three months 9,081 mattresses were dumped on the city streets.

Theatre ‘to reopen’ MAYOR of Torrevieja, E d u a rd o D o l o n h a s said that the Municip a l T h e a t re w i l l re open its doors for the Coronation Gala of the Reina del Sal (Queen
of Salt) on November 23. One of his first moves on election was to order a report on the condition of the theatre and what was needed to reopen it.
It was closed down in September 2015 by the Generalitat regional government for a lack of opening licence, some nine years after it was inaugurated in 2006. This report indicated the need for maintenance and repair works valued at €80,000 due mainly to it having been out of use for several years. While work has been carried out, the procedure for an opening licence has stalled at the last step. It needs a certificate of com-
pletion signed by the architect, which he is refusing to do because he claims the council owes him €132,000. This claim is going through the courts. But the mayor insists that he does not need the certificate of completion to open and is instead trying to get a favourable engineer’s report on the building. PLEDGE: Mayor says theatre will be ready for gala.
Phone leads to robber’s arrest A MAN who allegedly robbed a tobacconist in Elda had been arrested after police traced a stolen mobile phone. The incident happened at the end of September when a hooded man wielding a large wooden mallet entered the tobacconist’s shop demanding the contents of the till.
But the victim refused to hand over the cash, so the robber snatched a bag containing the shopkeeper’s wallet and phone before making his escape. Three days after the robbery, investigators located a mobile phone with the same characteristics as the stolen one in a second-hand
shop in the same town. The officers started looking for the man who had sold the phone and finally made an arrest on Monday (October 28). T h e d e t a i n e e , a 4 2 - y e a r- o l d man, was brought before the third examining magistrate's court in Elda.

ARRESTED: Elche Local Police detained youth.
Arrested for breaking policeman’s hand A 16-YEAR-OLD boy has been arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer during an operation against illegal street drinking parties knows as ‘botellons.’ The events occurred on Friday, November 1 at around 11.30pm in Alicante City centre where a large group of youths had gathered.
Several Local Police patrols arrived to break up the party as part of an operation against botellons that has been ongoing for several weeks. As officers asked to see their ID and moved to confiscate drinks, several of the youths fled. One of the Local Police officers began to chase a young man along Avenida General Marvá, finally catching up
with him at the Plaza de Los Luceros, where the officer was injured. He suffered a broken left hand which required hospital attention and the youth was arrested and taken to a police station. The Local Police of Alicante will continue with the operation to control botellons, with participants in the street parties facing fines of €90 each.

The French public railway company SNCF, Talgo/Globalia and Ilsa, a company owned by the owners of Air Nostrum in which Acciona
collaborates, have sent railway infrastructure company Adif their requests to enter the AVE network. Their aim is to compete with trains operator Renfe from December 2020, when the market is liberalised throughout the EU. Deadline for bids to be received was midnight on October 31. It is expected that bringing in competition will
lower ticket prices. But there is still a long way to go as the new operators will need trains, which are all owned by state controlled Renfe. It is unclear whether it will be forced to rent the trains to new operators. On the Alicante-Madrid high speed line there is still unused capacity of 60 per cent so private services are seen as feasible.

Drugs farm dismantled
HIDDEN: Plantation was inside an abandoned house.
GUARDIA CIVIL has arrested three men accused of cultivating 450 marihuana plants in an abandoned country house. Their game was given away despite its remote location in the Alicante countryside by the pungent smell of the drugs being grown. Passing neighbours called police to tell them about the strange smell. Suspecting that there could be an indoor marihuana plantation, despite the home’s external appearance of semi-abandonment and being used as
a dump, police searched the property. Inside they found two rooms had been converted into plantations with all the necessary apparatuses to grow the crops including lamps, air conditioning apparatuses and filters. In total, 450 cannabis plants were seized, although police say there was room to grow 1,000 plants. The operation culminated in the arrest of three Spanish men aged 18, 19 and 29, who have been released on charges after being brought before the courts.

AN environmental group has called for the restoration of the wetlands around the river Segura as a measure against floods. Friends of the Wetlands of the South of Alicante (AHSA) complains that “nobody talks about hydrologicalforestry restoration in the Segura river basin” when assessing measures to try to alleviate the impact of floods. The Segura river caused devastation when it burst its
banks during the the ‘Gota Fria’ storm in September. Group spokesman Miguel Ángel Pavón explained that such a move has never had funding or serious plans drawn up, despite the fact that the provisions of the Territorial Action Plan against the risk of Flooding (Patricova) of the Generalitat regional government, approved in 2003 and revised in 2015, actually proposes this type of action. The conservation group wonders why no one talks
about rewidening the river after decades of it being narrowed and channelled. Referring to proposals for a new parallel channel to be built as a measure against flooding, AHSA said in a statement: “We believe that the channels around Orihuela and Rojales are necessary, and perhaps also an increase in the width of the current channel, but a new parallel channel seems somewhat excessive to us. “It would be appropriate to have some flood abatement areas next to the extended channel. And a plan to eliminate buildings and facilities in high-risk areas.” The organisation feels that a second channel could become a perfect excuse for administrations to avoid acting when it comes to the restoration of hydrological forest and adopting sustainable and ecological ways of averting flood risk.

CONTROVERSY: Santiago Abascal.
A N L G T B I g ro u p h a s called on the Public Prosecutor to investigate comments made at an Alicante rally by the leader of rightwing political party Vox. And it wants the investigation to examine reports of shouted homophobic abuse at the Alicante Comic Fair which was being held next door at the same time. Diversitat de Alicante sent a letter detailing its grievances over the speech given by Vox leader Santiago Abascal, during the rally on October 26 at the Institución Ferial Alicantina (IFA).
It claims that some of his comments could be taken as anti-LGTBI. It also wants the rest of the speakers to come under scrutiny to see if anyone had ‘committed a hate crime under Article 510 of the Penal Code.’ In addition, it wants action taken over the verbal abuse of people attending the comic fair in an adjacent pavilion, saying: “We also request the identification of the aggressors so that the legally established penal measures are taken.” Videos have been circulating on social media showing what appears to be Vox sup-
porters haranguing people attending the comic fair with homophobic abuse. They have also demanded that the Generalitat regional government, faced with the ‘passivity’ of Alicante City Council, open a file on the IFA in accordance with the provisions of the Valencian LGBT Law for ‘endangering the physical and moral integrity of people attending the Comic Book Fair,’ having allowed it to coincide with the pre-election campaign of Vox. Vox issued a statement on Tuesday that insists on its respect for ‘people, beliefs and principles.’

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.

Emotional intelligence to tackle bullying SCHOOLCHILDREN are set to undergo training in emotional intelligence as part of a strategy to tackle bullying in Alicante Province’s schools. In the third phase of the Diputacion de Alicante’s bullying prevention ‘Hero’ progamme, implemented through the Universidad Miguel Hernandez Criminal Centre, children aged between eight and 14 in three junior and three senior schools will take part in the emotional intelligence sessions. Following an evaluation of the climate in the classroom and the impact of bullying, the pupils will be taken through five modules in two sessions, based on the provincial administration’s Hero School Bullying Prevention Guide, as a means of addressing the growing incidents of bullying in recent years. Diputacion de Alicante Equality and Youth deputy Mari Carmen Jover said the fight against bullying was a priority for the administration. She also said it was important to offer training to parents and teachers, allowing for “going into more depth into the definition of school bullying, the different profiles of the problem and the existing programmes, both prevention and intervention.” The programme is, the Diputacion said, designed to promote values like equality, respect, social integration and non-violence. It seeks to equip young people with emotional and behaviour skills, create a positive school environment, establish how common bullying is in the province’s schools and provide parents and educators with resources.

The 75 per cent discount will apply to both kinds for vehicles used for public service. “The council is showing a special interest in the environmental matters which affect us, hence it seems fair to us to reward those who opt for more efficient energies in vehicles,” commented Tax councillor Jose Ramon Ucles.According to the council there are currently 90 hybrid cars and six electric in Villajoyosa, all privately owned.
REWARD: The council said it seemed fair to discount vehicle tax on hybrid and electric vehicles.

MALAGA wants to give La Farola maximum cultural protection, as the building is the visual icon for the capital of the Costa del Sol. Malaga’s council has agreed to apply for the declaration of La Farola as Patrimony of Cultural Interest. Other entities that endorse the decision are Malaga University, the College of Architects and Icomos. Two lines of action have been opened to begin the process: one by university professors and another by the town hall. Both propositions confirm the social and institutional support that exists to protect the historic construction. In 2017, the waterfront building marked its 200th anniversary since it was erected. Malaga University has already reached out and gained direct backing from the National Council for International Monuments and Places, the Andalucian Territorial Delegation and many academies and colleges. The motion has gained unanimous support and will proceed as a positive initiative for Malaga.

A BUS has been doing the rounds in Almeria to promote healthy habits and a balanced lifestyle. The Agriculture, Fishing and Food Ministry ‘Gastrobus Mediterraneo’s tour was aimed at encouraging the consumption of foods which feature as part of a Mediterranean diet and doing some kind of moderate exercise every day. The 70sqm vehicle is equipped with audiovisual projection areas and a space for nutrition workshops, training and tastings. The bus incorporates the ‘#alimentosdespaña’ strategy image, which focuses on spreading the work about the quality and variety of Spanish produce given the importance of the national agro-food and fishing sectors. The strategy objective is, the government Sub-delegation said, “to channel synergies between food and other economic sectors, from tourism and gastronomy to health and sport. “Food based on the Mediterranean diet can in this way become a solid cultural, economic and social development connection, as well as being a key factor in good health.”

WORK has started to renovate 380 metres of the La Mata promenade at a cost of €850,000. Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon and councillor for Beaches, Antonio Vidal, attended to see the work, which is being done by Coastal Authority Costas, start. The overall action will transform the promenade, which has 5,400 sqm of paved area, and will be very similar to a section renovated in 2017 in front of the Molino Blanco Urbanisation. The works will involve the demolition of the old wall and the construction of another one made of reinforced concrete to avoid damage caused by storms. Deteriorated wooden planks and the current lampposts will be removed and the entire stretch of promenade will be repaved and have a stainless steel railing installed. The work is expected to take four to five months, which the mayor ‘hopes’ will mean it is complete by Easter 2020.

Repsol results looking good RECOGNISED as the most successful oil company in Spain, Repsol record ed a profit of €1.466 billion for the first nine months of the year and wants to use €1.2 billion for divi dends. The actual gross profit is down 32 per cent from the previous year but that figure included significant capi tal gains from sales and this in cludes a decrease in the value of oil stock held. The adjusted figure therefore shows it’s just €100 million (5 per cent) down on 2018 which is a good
By John Smith result when compared to other in ternational oil companies such as BP and Total. Whilst oil extraction and explo ration have seen a slowdown (thanks in part to problems in Libya), the other area of the business which includes refining as well as sales of gas and electricity are looking very strong proving that diversification can be good for the balance sheet. The other area which is very encour aging is the growth of operating cash flow which is up by 22 per cent to a
very significant €4.074 billion, mean ing that the underlying business is both thriving and secure. This is why, shareholders can expect that the 2020 dividend could total €1 per unit held in a combination of cash and shares and some of this is thanks to the decision of the board for a 5 per cent amortization of existing share capital. Looking forward, it is increasing its ability to generate electricity from wind and solar power and looks to break the electricity cus tomer base of one million soon.
LEGALLY SPEAKING Who is responsible? I am the vice president of a gated community with 58 apartments. Outside the gates, we each have bought a garage space for which we all pay a community charge. Some owners, through oil leaks from their cars, have caused holes in the as phalt, and two owners have large dips due to subsi dence. As the flats are 20 years old we have no comeback on the builders. Who is liable for the dam age done by oil leaks and subsidence in the car park ing area? B C (Costa Blanca) My im pression is that your garage YOU AND THE spaces are in fact LAW IN SPAIN the property of the community, with exclusive use assigned to the individual owners. Normally, the holders of this use are held liable for the upkeep for such spaces, so this would make the individuals responsible for damage caused by oil leaks from their cars. The subsidence, however, is structural and liability would probably fall on the community. We urge you to consult a local lawyer in order to make absolutely sure because some community regulations can specify otherwise.

Two car giants merge AS anticipated, the PSA and FCA Groups of car manufacturers have announced their merger which will mean they become the fourth largest producer of cars in the world. Between them, they produce more than 11 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and Opel as well as a number of commercial vehicles. The decision was made in order to increase ef ficiency and reduce costs by up to €3.7 billion as
rationalisation takes place. Spain has quite an efficient manufacturing base and produces PSA models in Vigo, Zaragoza and Madrid whilst FCA has no manufacturing base in the country but it is known that their Ital ian sites are not particularly cost effective. The Spanish operation has been completely overhauled in the last 24 months and has turned out high volumes with significant cost reductions.

Euro EUR/GBP: Down from £0.89 to £0.86 EUR/USD: Up from $1.09 to $1.10 Trade in the euro was mixed in October as positive Brexit news clashed with persistently gloomy data and fears of a looming reces sion in Germany. The tone of Eurozone data has remained overwhelmingly nega tive over the past couple of months, with lacklustre inflation and PMI figures applying pressure to the single currency. However, in taking some cues from Brexit in October the euro was still able to eke out some modest support, with hopes that the UK would avoid a nodeal sce nario buoying EUR sentiment. We expect the single currency to follow a similar trend through November, with confirmation that

Currency outlook: Pound surges on Brexit progress, US dollar slumps
BREXIT JITTERS: Driving GBP exchange rates to new multi-year lows. Germany entered a recession in the third quarter being offset by lingering Brexit optimism. Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.12 to €1.15 GBP/USD: Up from $1.22 to $1.28
October was dominated by a dramatic jump in the pound, with the currency roaring back to life as a result of positive progress in Brexit. This came as Boris Johnson miraculously managed to secure a
new Brexit deal from the EU a surprising development given pre vious reports that talks were on the verge of collapse. However, Johnson has strug gled to get his new deal over the finishing line, with the PM forced to request another Brexit exten sion after he failed to get MPs to back the deal. Sterling stalled in the latter half of the month as a result. Looking ahead, with Brexit de layed but unresolved and the threat of a general election loom ing, it looks like we’re all set for another period of uncertainty. This may take its toll on the pound through the remainder of 2019. US Dollar USD/GBP: Down from £0.81 to £0.77
USD/EUR: Down from €0.91 to €0.90 The US dollar was charac terised by broad weakness over the past month as a riskon mood prevailed, limiting demand for the safehaven ‘Greenback.’ This came amidst positive Brexit headlines and USChina trade optimism, with the two powers coming close to finalising a preliminary trade deal. However, the US dollar also faced pressure on the domestic front, with a sharp slowdown in the US manufacturing sector firming expectations of an Octo ber rate cut from the Federal Re serve. Going forward, the US dollar will face further pressure in the coming weeks if US data contin ues to print poorly.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WELL, here we go again. Back on the ‘campaign trail’! Dontcha just wish they were all back on the ‘Old Chisolm Trail’ and disappearing over the horizon - forever? They are all liars, generally by blatant omis sion. One truth you can be assured of is that when you hear a politician tell you something has been made ‘absolutely clear,’ you can bet your bottom dollar it’s about as clear as a pea soup’er at midnight. No, the only clarity to emerge from this lot is that they are a bunch of selfindulgent, incom petent, immature con merchants, interested in nothing further than the preservation of their own utterly worthless skins and unworthy to even represent a flagpole leave alone the flags that adorn them. Come back Mr Fawkes, all is forgiven. To think in days of yore we actually looked up to this rabble, believing they were the undis putable champions of our once great country? How blindly we followed their decisions and ‘leadership’ and were utterly convinced that mere mortals like us could never hope to under stand the workings of ‘The House’ with its proud history and pomp, which has endured over hundreds of years.

Oh for a Winston
POLITICIANS: Terrified of standing up to political correctness and cultural threats.
Well we do now. Our present day politicians are all a bunch of disgraceful juvenile cess pit dwellers. They are in fact the traitorous and highly dangerous ‘enemy within.’ Most of them would rather side with our opponents than risk losing their privileged positions or a few votes. They are terrified of standing up to the politi
cal correctness, cultural threats and the ever in creasing denial of freedom of speech, which threatens to stifle today’s ingenious GB citizens. As far as this ol’ boy is concerned I’ve never ac tually respected any of them. Consequently I’ve never voted in my life. Only this week there was yet another exam
ple of their incompetence and arrogant under estimation of our intelligence. The Labour con tingency has been ranting on about lowering the voting age to 16. This is of course a blatant effort to gain votes from naive youngsters who have never lived under the left, are impressed by Corbyn’s rhetoric and promises of free hand outs and consequently a mite easier to con than many of their adult compatriots. ‘Young people of today are perfectly capable of making deci sions and taking actions that may affect their fu ture’, the left blathers on. They are of course the same lot who are try ing to return the Daesh bride Shamima Begum to the UK, because she was ‘too young to know what she was doing!’ Get my drift? Nope. Sorry folks, you simply can’t trust, or believe anything that any of them say. Even the so called ‘deal’ that Johnson keeps on about still leaves us firmly entwined with his power mad fellow cronies across the channel. If I were to vote at all it would be for The Brexit Party. Problem is that could put Corbyn and Di ana Abbott in Number 10 (providing she can count that high!) Oh for a Winston in our hour of need! Keep the faith. Love Leapy leapylee2002@gmail.com

A Bunch of Work-Shy Snowflakes NORA JOHNSON
BREAKING VIEWS Nora is the author of popular psychological suspense and crime thrillers and a freelance journalist. To comment on any of the issues raised in her column, go to www.euroweeklynews.com/3.0.15/nora-johnson
MILLENIALS (those born between 1980 and the mid-1990s and who, from next year, are expected to be the dominant age sector in the global workforce for the first time), are reportedly fuelling a crisis in the workplace. Young employees flit from company to company, unwilling to stay in any job that doesn’t meet their expectations. Like the NHS and police work, for example. Police forces preparing for the govern ment’s ambitious recruitment drive have identified a formidable challenge in hiring millennials. Today’s recruits seem to have been ‘wrapped in cotton wool,’ are rou tinely ‘shocked’ that police officers are ex pected to work nights and weekends, and ‘do not like confrontation.’ For some, this is ‘Generation Entitle ment.’ For others, millenials are simply re sponding to the world they were born in
MILLENIALS: Desire a better work/life balance and training. to: one of peace and prosperity. They seem to have it all a better work/life bal ance and training, for instance and there are no rules of how to deal with it be cause, basically, we’ve never been here before. Most notable among millenials is the shift from a desire for ‘things’ to a desire for ‘experiences.’ But whether it’s social media, the selfie craze, influencers or the inability to stick with one job for more than five minutes, what you end up with is a generation that is constantly seeking to add experiences, apparently without much regard to which have value and which don’t. You don’t gain ‘experiences’ by taking the same damn shot as every body else has taken of Mykonos or the Grand Canyon through the lens of a phone (though they think you do).
Fundamentally, the desire for a better work/life balance and training is sound and works for whatever generation we’re talking about. But ultimately, for some jobs, we need people dedicated to their vocation, who are willing to see past crea ture comforts because they want to do what they think is right, even if it means personal hardship. Perhaps there’s a lack of that going around in this Brexit/Trump era, and it’s not just confined to the millennials...

The strangest thing... MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS in the UK last week and, once again, was reminded why I love living here! Hour journeys taking two and a half hours because the M25 was practi cally redundant just after the ribbon cutting ceremony. A simple cup of cof fee costing more than a meal here. OK maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but £6 for two coffees is almost the price of a menu del dia. Oh and the weather was, well, English. I went to a couple of places to eat. Nando’s was one where I actually like the food and, like many, they have free WiFI. But, before you can use their WiFi you have to give them shedloads of in formation and agree to their terms which, to be honest, I can’t be arsed to read. So, after going through that I log on successfully, but the signal is so weak that I can’t even check my email. All I get is the spinning ‘I’m really try ing’ wheel. So now I go back to 4G and as soon as I turn oFf the Nando’s WiFi
the first email I get is from them! An email I couldn’t even receive whilst us ing their WiFi! This email tells me that I’m now just one click from activating my Nando’s account. I don’t want a Nando’s account thank you. I’m not clicking anything. It also informs me the benefits of said account is I can order online for delivery. Surely it will be cold by the time it gets to Spain! And here is the best bit I can con nect to their WiFi whenever I fancy ex cept I can’t because the signal is crap!!! Another thing I noticed in a few places is how waiters, in particular, re act when you are paying with a credit card. They give you the machine and then the strangest thing happens when they ask you to put in your pin number. If they are sort of standing in the vicinity of the machine it almost looks like we are about to play a game of hide and seek. In one place I thought he was going to pull out a blindfold to cover his eyes. It’s hard to explain, but next time you pay a bill at a restaurant table, watch how your server reacts when you go to enter your pin number. It’s hilari ous! I think the next time it happens I’m going to put the tablecloth over my head and the machine!

UN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING AND RESEARCH (UNITAR) IN MALAGA CONSULAR MATTERS IT has not passed unnoticed that Malaga has undergone a complete transformation in the last 20 years. The city has improved in many ways and its international projection is constantly increasing, as part of these changes, last year, UNITAR and the Malaga Council created an International Training Centre for Authorities and Leaders (CIFAL) based in Malaga at Casona del Parque; which was for many years the house where the garden er who cared for the botanical species that grow in the Parque de Malaga used to live. The objective of this learning centre is to offer support to the
UNITAR: Offering support to public representatives of the Mediterranean Riviera countries.
public representatives of the Mediterranean Riviera countries, and in this way contributing to each country’s cooperation and offering a wide range of learning opportunities, working towards knowledge sharing between the public offices and European lead ers in order to promote a more sustainable development of our cities. CIFAL was created with a vision to become an outstanding learning centre in the Mediterranean, where local, regional and national leaders are able to acquire the necessary knowledge needed to lay the foundations for sustainable development in their communities and so improve citizens’ quality of life. This learning course is not only directed to local and regional au thorities, but also focused on in
ternational bodies, private sectors and civilians so that sustainable development targets are achieved according to those set in the 2030 Agenda. The Consular corps in Malaga representing citizens of 43 differ ent nations and 40 per cent of the total provincial population, had to benefit from this development op portunity and some of us, Consuls of at least 15 countries, have de cided to attend this training course and in so doing, be aware of the needs and priorities of our region, addressing key points such as social integration, increasing the quality of life in our cities, and supporting coexistence, city gov ernance and city planning, with a strategic and sustainable develop ment and tourism plan, whilst im plementing the targets laid down in the 2030 Agenda.

MEAT FREE ESCHEWING meat on moral grounds is 100 per cent applaudable as most of the animals we eat today live in misery and die miserably so we can pick up bargains in supermarkets. That’s one thing, and I admire the vegetari ans who shun bacon sandwiches surely one of life’s greatest culinary inventions because they don’t want Piglet or Babe on their con sciences. Nevertheless, the fact remains that we are omnivores with bodies and innards designed to eat a little bit of everything, which brings me to vegans. My vegetarian friends are all normal, but the vegans verge on the hysteri cal and accusatory. Imagine my pleasure, then, on reading recently that vegans are prone to depression and wait for it cannabis. Says it all, as far as I’m concerned but at least they can smoke it or make bis cuits with it safe in the knowledge that no an imals were involved in its production. Stephanie Maxwell
Over indulgence I READ in the Euro Weekly News not long ago that the Benidorm fiestas organisers want to shorten the route for ‘peñas’ clubs’ pa rade on the first day. Most are tipsy before the parade starts and blind drunk by the time it finishes, it seemed from the article. I have lived for many years in the Mari na Baja although not in Benidorm and from what I have seen, rowdiness and overindulgence in alcohol are fiestas req uisites. It is usually goodhumoured and in all my time here, I haven’t seen conflict or anything approaching a fight. The piece you printed came to mind on reading about a drunken British cou ple tussling and punching each other on the Alicante airport shuttle bus taking them to the terminal.bThe locals here might occasionally drink too much but they just get merrier, not like the British and northern Europeans who get morose and then aggressive. Lyn Wright
Save the Mar Menor POLLUTION is something that never seems too far from the headlines. While much has been done, the ongo
BACON SARNIE: A favourite with most omnivores. ing disaster that is the Mar Menor shows just how much remains to do before we can live in a clean world that respects the environ ment and the wildlife that shares it with us. For those who don’t know, a couple of weeks ago a ‘hypoxia’ event occurred. In sim ple terms, the water of the lagoon (Editor’s note: the Mar Menor is off the coast of Mur cia) ran out of oxygen. The result was a dev astating loss of wildlife.
HAVE YOUR SAY
Literally tons of fish and marine life died and covered the beaches, as well as further polluting the waters. We are in danger of turning it into a dead sea unless something is done quickly. Sewage systems need to be im proved. Farmers should be banned from us ing slurry and other fertilisers. I think Spanish authorities are now realis ing this. I wish they’d take measures now.

HYDRAULIC fracturing - commonly known as fracking - has recently come under the spotlight after the government halted the activity in the UK. This technique has been the subject of controversy for many years. Scientists and ecologists alike believe fracking to be highly polluting and dangerous for society and the environment. To be aware of the risks, it’s important to understand how the process works. Fracking begins with drilling down into the earth and injecting fluids at a very high pressure. The liquid is primarily water but it also contains sand, chemicals and thickening agents. This fluid creates cracks in the deep-rock formations and natural gas will flow freely, allowing companies to collect it. Natural gas helps reduce greenhouse gasses as it replaces coal and burns cleaner, emitting only half as much carbon dioxide. However, experts believe this benefit is outweighed by the environmental impacts of the activity. The main problem is the contamination of surface and underground water with chemicals scientists believe to be carcinogenic. Increased earthquakes are another by-product and, in the UK, multiple earth tremors were triggered, finally causing work to halt. In Spain, the practice is mostly prohibited and in 2016, the five companies with licences gave them up freely. In the UK, the practice has now been prohibited after £32 million was spent with no energy in return.

POLL OF THE WEEK
Sentences for rape, fair or not?
Recently we have seen a rise in stories in the news of girls being raped, especially victims who were underaged. In the majority of these cases, the accused seem to only serve a small percentage of their sentences. So the poll question is: Do you think it is time that the sentences and punishments were stricter?
• Yes
• No
At the EWN, we pride ourselves that reports are accurate and fair. If we do slip up, we promise to set the record straight in a clear, no-nonsense manner. To ask for an inaccuracy to be corrected. Email: editorial@euroweeklynews.com

YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS
AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Cast your net wide this week and be prepared to take advantage of a state of freedom. With high energy and an expansive mind, you are in a good position. Avoid being thrown out of kilter by activities around you. It may be difficult to make real progress at times but that does not mean you are unable to plan.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As the moon shines on you, it is almost possible to feel the light. After a few recent hiccups it is now possible to get down to achieving your heart's desire. Whether that is what you will want at the end of the day is neither here nor there.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There will be good news regarding an application or legal document. Following on from that your finances take a turn for the better and this could be long term. Having extra cash is great, but be wary of someone who would like to part you from it. At the weekend, events take a romantic turn but timing may be bad owing to other commitments.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you feel more in control as the week comes to an end, do not make the mistake of counting your chickens before they are hatched. If you do, you could end up with egg on your face.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Having been given a chance to take responsibility at the beginning of the month, you are determined to do your best. Certainly, it is a time to concentrate on any business matters which need attention.
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A great light shines on your romantic life. Whether it is meeting up with old chums or a new date, there is electricity in the air for you. Equally, a business coupling is particularly fruitful and you count your blessings to have gone down a particular path.
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The usually flamboyant attitude which is yours at this time of the year is now subdued, but this will not last for too much longer and soon things will be back to normal. You will be looking to spice up your romantic life and your partner will be only too willing to go along with your suggestions.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Your love life is highlighted and, although you may be suspicious of your good luck, this is a new phase. Whereas before you had some reason to mistrust you are now able to have confidence. It is a great time to progress your inclinations on the romantic front.

Colleagues are far from helpful at the moment and you may even feel that matters are going backwards. It may be necessary to move away and leave them to haggle among themselves. Perhaps later you may step in and take control of the confusion. If your business life is far from good then it is more than balanced by harmony at home.

How to Lose Weight during Menopause W H E N menstruation ends because of age, or due to the surgical extraction of the reproductive organs, women may face specific health and nutrition prob lems, many of them related to the loss of the healthy benefits of oestrogens. Menopause is a physiological stage, and normal in a woman’s life; it usually takes place between the ages of 45 and 55, when the ovaries stop producing ova. It may start with irregular menstrual cy cles, and appear with other symptoms, such as hot flushes, night sweats, prob lems sleeping and vaginal dryness. It also affects bone, cardiac and encephalic health, particularly memory. The reduc tion of circulating oestrogens limits the body’s capacity to remodel bones, causing a reduction of bone mass, and affects the concentration in blood of lipids, increas ing ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL), and reducing ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL). Additionally, during menopause, there is a redistribu tion of body fat, with more being located in the central area of the body, and this
MENOPAUSE: Is a normal stage in a woman’s life.
abdominal fat is related to diseases such as diabetes, arterial hypertension and in farction, and as if that were not enough, losing weight becomes more difficult. All these changes affect our health,
which is understood, according to the WHO, as ‘a complete state of physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not just the absence of disease.’ What can women do when we ap
proach this new stage in life? Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes diet, the ab sence of toxic habits and regular practice of physical activities, will be more impor tant than ever. That said, we can give you some tips. Health Tips Increase your consumption of pulses Do not abuse alcohol Avoid quickly absorbed carbohydrates Reduce your ingestion of fats, and specifically select the most heart healthy Increase your consumption of foods that are sources of calcium and vitamin D Pay attention to and readjust your bi ological clocks Avoid caffeine and other stimulants after sundown; this may help you sleep better To deal with hot flushes, avoid hot beverages Combine aerobic physical exercise with strength training Consider hormone substitution thera py, always with medical prescription

Hormonal balance in danger IN a world of increasing harm ful substances and plastic waste, it is important to be aware of endocrine disruptors. These disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the body’s hormonal balance. At certain doses they can cause very grave illnesses and conse quences on an otherwise healthy person. Ailments can include infertility, cancer, thy roid problems, loss of memory, autism, diabetes and obesity. The danger with endocrine disruptors is that we are con stantly surrounded by them. Chemicals in common house hold objects contain the dan gerous substances. One of the most studied disruptors is Bisphenol A or BPA. It can be found in plastic bottles, food containers, fragrances, cleaning products, DVDs, the lining of food cans, receipts and toys, among others. The compound is the starting material for polycarbonate
plastics and in 2015 about four million tonnes were pro duced, making it one of the most produced chemicals worldwide. BPA mimics oestrogen and has hormonelike properties. The use of this plastic has been studied after alarm was raised in the scientific world. The Eu ropean Union put in place regu lations and banned its use in baby bottles, although the Eu ropean Food Safety Authority has declared that the substance poses no threat to consumers of any age. However, many researchers continue to explain the risks as sociated with this endocrine disruptor and in 2017 the Euro pean Chemicals Agency an nounced that BPA should be in cluded as a substance of high concern. Babies and young chil dren could be among the most affected, as at this young age hormones play a big role in de velopment.
HORMON E WORRY: Plastic bottles contain harmful chemicals.
Both female and male repro ductive systems suffer a big im pact with lower amounts of sperm and testosterone in men and early puberty and a reduc tion of fertility in women. In re spect to mental wellbeing and the brain, it could possibly cause anxiety, hyperactivity and aggression as well as learning disabilities. Higher quantities of BPA are associated to hyper tension and heart illnesses. It can lead to an increase in weight and the appearance of Type II diabetes. Thyroid functions can also be affected and prostate and breast cancer cases increase. Endocrinologists are appeal ing to make use of caution and ask to progressively reduce
these types of substances in consumer products until inves tigations can offer definitive proof. The World Health Or ganisation has revealed there are more than 800 types, al though the number could be much higher. The association has named them as a global threat that needs to be careful ly vigilated. Nicolás Olea, pro fessor of medicine at Granada University, is one of the most knowledgeable experts in the study of these chemicals. He maintains that scientific evi dence of their negative impact is undeniable and overwhelm ing. He reiterates that European control needs to be even stricter in the future.
Banishing baldness HAIR loss might have just become a thing of the past. Biotech nology firm HairClone has been granted a licence by the UK to open the world’s first follicle banking system. The hair bank will launch in Manchester and patients can now have their hair follicles cryopreserved and stored. Authorisation by the Human Tissue Authority has marked a big milestone for the exciting technology. Men and women wor ried about hair loss will have samples taken and frozen for fu ture use. The technology will be open for all adults and will amount to an initial cost of around €2,900, plus €100 per year of storage. Currently hair transplants available cost around €8,000 and only redistribute existing hair. Millions of people suffer with hair loss, caused by a combina tion of genes and hormones. The existing options include trans plants and medication. This medication has varying results and generally produces unwanted sideeffects. Minoxidil, also known as Regaine, is effective in up to twothirds of users but can cause symptoms such as itchiness and heart palpitations. Other similar pharmaceuticals have been linked to impotence, low fertility rates and depression. Seeing as the current solutions for balding are lacking in many areas, this innovating technique is a welcome arrival. In the last moth South Korean investigations revealed that baldness is
linked to air pollution. People in China had been found to suffer hair loss 20 years earlier than their fathers and grandfathers. Ex planations for this phenomenon also included stress, poor sleep and unhealthy eating. To start the process, both patient and sur geon will first decide if banking is a good option. If the process moves forward around 100 hair follicles will be removed under local anaesthetic from the back of the scalp. The whole proce dure will between 30 and 60 minutes and no recovery time will be needed. Patients will be able to continue their routines as normal, whilst their hair samples will be stored a minus 180 de grees Celsius. Once these cells are frozen, they stop their ageing process. Over time, the subject’s hair will become shorter and finer. Stored hair samples will contain a good amount of younger dermal papillae, that grows new hair. Once they are cloned with nutrients, they will be injected back into the patient’s scalp in places where hair is thinning. The objective is to restore a youth ful hairline and doctors hope that the new strands will be thick er. Paul Kemp, PHD, and CEO at HairClone, has expressed excite ment but stresses that the company has not yet been autho rised to start treatments. He explains that it is the next step and people whose follicles are already banked will have first access.

Winter-proof skin AUTUMN has settled in, and after making itself comfortable, it is final ly bringing colder temperatures. For many, the cooler temperature is a welcome relief to the blazing heat and humidity of the summer. But the biggest organ in the body the skin has already started getting goose bumps. Skin is our protection against ex ternal conditions and forms a protec tive barrier over the body’s surface. The epidermis is the outermost layer and makes sure to keep water in the body and infectious germs from en tering. Seasonal changes can irritate and exacerbate existing skin conditions. A big percentage of the population is affected by some type of skin ail ment in varying degrees of severity. Wind and cold aggravates dry and in flamed skin. Existing conditions can react badly to changes in routine, for example, more layers of clothing and temperature variations from out doors to indoors. For people who experience rosacea, the summer months can be a bad time of year. On the other hand, a wintery climate can be prob
lematic for eczema, psoriasis and ac ne. Even people with a healthy der mis will notice red cheeks, taut skin and cracked lips. People with preex isting problems will often experience flareups. Cold temperatures make the skin’s pores tighter and reduces blood cir culation, thus diminishing natural oils known as sebum. Sebum is es sential in forming a protective layer and traps moisture to avoid the skin from drying out. Consequences of less sebum are seen by acne sufferers; whose skin depends on the substance to block the entry of bacteria in pores. During the winter, bacteria penetrates pores easily and can result in out breaks. Patients who have to deal with eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis generally complain about increased irritation, flaky skin and in flammation. Although the effects of winter can not be completely avoided, experts do recommend following a series of habits that can benefit the skin. An important thing to avoid is scalding hot baths and showers as the heat strips the skin of its natural
oils. A shorter and cooler shower will help and using a moisturising cream straight afterwards is a must. Exposure to hot environments such as airconditioned cars or rooms with dry air can further dehydrate the epidermis. A conscious effort should be made to drink plenty of water and supplementing diet with Omega 3 and 6 oils can reduce inflamma tion. Cosying up to the ra diator or fireplace will also cause dryness, a humidifier will combat this and add moisture to the home. A few other tips to fight the frost include picking a soothing lip balm, ditch ing irritating clothing and always wearing gloves to protect hands. Washing up gloves are again advised when touching chem icals or grease. WINTER SKIN: Protect yourself against the frost.

GOOD HABITS: Any amount of running is beneficial for your health.
Running for life FOURTEEN different studies about exercise and its benefits have been ongoing for up to 35 years. Now, investigators have revealed their results. While it comes as little surprise that running and physical activity is healthy, the numbers are quite astonishing. Running reduces the risk of heart problems by 30 per cent and the risk of cancer by an other 23 per cent. However, a 10minute walk or a bit of gardening is also enough to lower
the risk of an early death by 27 per cent. Adults are recommended to get 75 minutes of exercise every week and jogging is an af fordable and quick way to get the heartbeat up. Any amount of running was associated with a lower risk of death and long runs didn’t show any more benefits than shorter ones in that specific category. In any case, investiga tors highlighted that higher doses of running and exercise are always beneficial.

Gut health chaos A new study has found that up to 50 per cent of common medication negatively affects gut health. Researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands explain that the discovery can ex plain many of pharmaceutical’s side effects, such as obesity. THE investigation showed that certain drugs changed the composition of gut bacteria, leading to a risk of intestinal infection and weight gain. Tak ing into account common drug categories, at least 18 of the 41 studied had notable reper cussions on the digestive sys tem. The microbiome inside the intestines is made up of thou sands of different types of bacteria. These organisms are essential in maintaining many health aspects such as a strong immune system, a
healthy heart and regulating weight. These microbes work together as another organ in the body and can sometimes weigh between one and two kilos. If gut composition isn’t bal anced and healthy many ail ments can start to appear. Constant fatigue, skin irrita tion, food intolerances and an upset stomach are just a few of the consequences a debili tated microbiome can have. For the study, scientists analysed 2,000 stool samples from healthy people and
those that presented irritable bowel syndrome and inflam matory bowel disease. They then compared the composi tion of nondrug user’s guts and people regularly on med ication. Four of the drug categories were revealed to have the biggest impact: proton pump inhibitors used for indiges tion laxatives, antibiotics and metformin, the form of treat ment for diabetes Type 2. Metformin users had higher levels of Ecoli, a bacterium that can cause deadly infec

tions, whilst those on PPI pro duced a larger amount of fatty acids. Antidepressants where also on the list, as the pills were seen to produce high levels of Eubacterium ramu lus, that can lead to infections. However, some helpful steps can be taken to improve and maintain the essential
bacteria. Stress is one of the biggest culprits and can be lowered by walking, meditat ing, decreasing caffeine intake or doing activities. Quality of sleep is another guilty party and it should be a priority to ensure seven to eight hours of rest. Diet can be cared for by eat
ing slowly, staying hydrated and eating probiotic foods or supplements. Yogurts and kefir can en hance the immune system and highfibre foods will also have a positive impact. Inter estingly, garlic and onion have also been linked with many important gut functions.

Complicated laws that are hard to manage plus the difficulty of negotiating in ano t h e r l a n g u a g e , a re no small feat to overcome. N o one can argue with the facts: becoming a homeowner in S pain deserves a medal. If you managed to get your hands on a piece of the property market without a glitch, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

This money will come in handy for all the necessary expenses that follow the decision to buy. B i l l s w i l l depend on the property being new or second-hand
and the asking price. Experts have compiled a list of what to expect and the amount it could cost a prospective buyer in Spain in 2019. The Notary will need to be considered for granting the deed of sale. Tariffs are set by the government and
oscillate between €600 and €900, depending on the price of the house. The Land Registry follows and consists of registering the deeds you now have. Fees are also regulated and, although they can vary, are around the €400 to €650 mark. Taxes linked to the sale can mean spending a large sum of cash. V AT is the most notable and in 2019 currently stands at 10 per cent. For a property costing €250,000 the V AT would amount to €25,000. Added tax is paid for the process of Documenting Legal Acts. For second-hand homes the applied tax is the Property Transfer Tax that ranges between 6 and 10 per cent. If the housing is subsidised or will host large families, rates will generally be reduced.
Once taxes and legal paperwork are out of the way, it’s time to get down to business with the mortgage. F irst of all, to apply for a mortgage an appraiser will have to value the property so that the bank can calculate the percentage of finance. Banks are lending about 80 per cent of the appraisal value, although it could be up to the full 100. The appraisal maintains validity for
six months since being issued and costs between €300-600. Following the new Mortgage L aw passed in J une 2019, the bank must cover the rest of the expenses that include: Tax on Documented L egal A cts, the Property Registry and Notary fees. This legislation was welcomed by homeowners and relieves buyers of a substantial financial burden.

LETTERS FROM CANARIES
How you feel about it?
By Barbara Belt barbarabelt@gmail.com DEAR reader, I trust all’s well with you, despite the floods? Since my last letter, I’ve been to Brexitchoked England and a People’s Vote march in London to try to get a handle on this important, but apparently intractable, situation. The march took place on what tabloids called Super Saturday. It was the first Commons Saturday sitting since the April ‘82 Falklands crisis.The politicians were inside, voting on the Let win Amendment (blocking Johnson’s attempt to get MPs to fast-track his deal). ‘Four hours isn’t enough to scrutinize the most significant... legislation in a generation’ reasoned Letwin, while the million or so outside shouted support for both the amendment and another people’s vote. They were loud enough to be heard inside. I know because Conservatives Michael Heseltine and Dominic Grieve, Labour’s Hilary Benn and Keir Starmer, together with MPs from a wide political spectrum, came out, told us so and thanked the crowd for their support. The amendment had been passed by 322 to 306 votes. The same night, Johnson sent an unsigned letter to the EU asking for an extension, together

LONDON MARCH: Took place on what the tabloids called Super Saturday. with two unofficial, signed notes saying an extension was a bad idea! And so on. There have been numerous twists and turns since. There’ll be more. Thankfully, I’m not in the UK to hear about them and I rarely read the English press anyway as it gives me the creeps. The recent visit reinforced this: I was at a march of over a million people of diverse political persuasions, ages and back-
grounds who expressed their desire for another people’s vote on Brexit which seemed logical, given the tortuous mess their elected politicians are making of it all. It was an extraordinarily peaceful affair, but, according to the tabloids: ‘...Brexit tension threatened to boil over today as Remain activists on the People’s March clashed with a Leave counter protest.’ Other tabloids minimised diversity: ‘...middle

class protesters with Waitrose picnics’; the number of attendees: ‘… hundreds turn out in London,’ and so on, and the march was mentioned in fairly derogatory terms on BBC news. Next day, the media trashed the truth again after an interview with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who revealed that being hounded by the press made life difficult (M) and brotherly ties were as solid as ever, but the working relationship had changed (H). This morphed, astonishingly and immediately, into the BBC news headline ‘Rift between Princes’ and has since fuelled endless over the top, negative press attention. Who knows where all this muddle and sensationalism will lead, but the short story of where it leaves my family and I is that we’re applying for Spanish nationality. My kids, grandkids and life are happy here on this small Canary Island. We lived here legally as EU resident Brits before, but the future’s now uncertain. We didn’t move the goal posts. Like 700,000 other Brits living abroad, we of course weren’t even allowed to vote in a referendum that would possibly change our lives. How you feel about it? I’d love to know.

OCTOBER and at the air show promoted as the biggest business aviation show in the world Gulfstream added to its fleet of six private and business jet models with the presentation of the allnew G700 at the NBAABACE air show in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The launch of the G700 is certainly an event as is the NBAABACE which over three days attract ed some 23,000 aviation professionals from all over the world. Gulfstream’s G700 will carry up to 19 passengers and sleep 10. In daylight pas sengers will be able to view the world through one of 20 panoramic oval windows, flying at an altitude of 15,545 metres [51,000 feet], a com mercial airliner will fly at a far lower altitude in fact and have a cabin pressure far low than the G700. Passengers in the G700 will experience at 15,545 metres a cabin pressure equivalent to 1,478. Besides the lowest cabin altitude the cab in is ‘whisperquiet’ and filled with fresh air. The lighting on board is also designed to promote a healthy experience with the lighting system that mimics the circadian rhythm from sunrise to

With up to five living areas, option an ultra galley with a passenger lounge or a crew compartment, a six place dining room that doubles up as a confer ence room, even a master suite with ensuite bathroom and shower, two windows and even a wardrobe. Gulfstream would and do argue that
the G700 is the new Gulf stream Flagship perhaps also of the industry. Gulfstream has built 2,850 jets since the company was founded in 1957, supported globally with specialised avi ation engineers focused on keeping the air frames flying, on demand. At that time named the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Co, the first Gulfstream design was so named because so many of the Grumman executives holidayed in Florida where the oceanic Gulf Stream flows northward along the coast before heading off across the Atlantic to warm the shores of north west Europe. Many a Gulfstream is in the service of heads of state as well as being configured for special missions such as medical evacuation and
high altitude at mospheric research. Almost 200 Gulfstream air craft serve governments in nearly 40 countries around the world. The G700 has a maximum range of 7,500 nautical miles or 13,800 kilome tres, truly a global reach. Fly from London to Las Vegas at Mach 0.925 close to the speed of sound. Gulfstream have stuck with their known strengths found within the Gulfstream fleet; ul tra long range high speed and performance combined with flight deck innovation and a cab in which offers customers an unprecedented ex perience. With a reported price tag of US$75 million each; deliveries start in 2022. Nick Horne, London, England.

Final stages of development
WITH DBX’s unveil drawing closer, Aston Martin’s first SUV has entered the closing stages of the most comprehensive test regime of any Aston Martin and the luxury British marque can now confirm the beating heart of the most versatile product in its illustrious history. With extensive everyday realworld driving and highperformance track evaluation taking place at locations worldwide including the brand’s two key engineering centres at Silverstone, UK and the Nürburgring, Germany Chief Engineer Matt Becker’s team have focused their development work to ensure the broad dynamic capability required of DBX. While conducting durability testing at the demanding Nürburgring race cir cuit, DBX has delivered cornering speeds on par with the brand’s most focused sports car Vantage, while achieving braking figures greater than the marque’s Super GT, DBS Superleg
NEAR COMPLETION: Aston Martin’s first SUV. gera. This brutal combination of perfor mance for an SUV has already seen As ton Martin’s engineering team regular ly achieve sub eightminute Nordschleife lap times during their reg
ular testing regime. DBX will feature a 4.0litre twintur bo V8, tuned to deliver the exhilaration of a modern GT. While recognisable from its application in the brand’s exist
ing Vantage and DB11 sports cars, DBX’s V8 engine surpasses the perfor mance credentials of these V8pow ered models delivering 550PS and 700Nm of torque.
High speed testing has already proven DBX to repeatedly exceed 180mph, with final top speed and ac celeration figures being set within the closing stages of the testing process. As highlighted in a video release, DBX’s vocal chorus has also been honed by the brand’s dedicated acoustic team. With a focus on creating a broader, more solid acoustic note, DBX’s exhaust system has been tuned to reflect a deep bass with increasing midtones, creating true auditory exhil aration, particularly in more sporting drive modes. DBX’s testing programme continues apace, with Matt Becker, Aston Mar tin’s Chief Engineer commenting: “We have concentrated our work to ensure that the calibration and tune of this 4.0 litre twinturbo V8 delivers both the everyday usability and refinement ex pected by SUV owners. However, we have also focused heavily on matching that with the engaging driving dynam ics that are commanded by our brand and inherent in every Aston Martin.”

SIXTH TIME CHAMPION IT was lights out and away they went in the US Grand Prix. The front runners got away well and Bottas came out on top, but Albon and Sainz veered off and made contact, but returned to the track at Austin, Texas. Then Hamilton passed Leclerc and Vettel, Norris moved ahead of Ricciar do. Vettel was struggling already. Fer rari did not seem to have fired their tyres up, Leclerc was fourth and Vettel sixth. Vettel was complaining of damage. Another who had some was Albon,who had already come into the pits, having been squeezed by Sainz and veering off the track. But the top two looked unscathed Bottas lead from Verstappen, with Hamilton in third. Vettel had also been overtaken by Ricciardo, leaving the German in seventh. Sainz and Albon went under investi
gation by the stewards over a first turn collision. There was plenty of movement in pecking orders Raikko nen had gained six places since the start, and he was up to 11th. Bottas lead by 1.3 seconds from Verstappen, with Hamilton third. It was an interest ing start. Lap 8. More woe for Vettel his rear suspension had gone, and he slid off the track. He was having an absolute nightmare, and he was becalmed at trackside. Ricciardo passed Norris and moved into fifth. That suspension failure ended his involvement on lap 11 in this Grand Prix, his first DNF here. Towards the back, Perez took advantage of a Giov inazzi lockup at turn 12 to sneak ahead of him into 14th. By lap 17 Bottas set a new fastest lap for the race on lap 16, as Hamilton had his onestop strategy confirmed by his team. Meanwhile Albon was told by his team that they had spotted
some damage to the car, and he was struggling back down in 13th, having lost six places since the start. Lap 26. Bottas lead by five seconds from Verstappen, with Hamilton eight seconds further back in third. Leclerc was fourth, 24 seconds off the lead, with Ricciardo fifth. Next lap was the give away to tac tics. A swift Hamilton lap 26 took a 2.7 seconds chunk out of Bottas’s lead. Hamilton was now told ‘It’s critical we make the onestop plan work,’ cau tioning him about not burning the speed too excessively to save the tyres. With 20 laps to go with tyre strate gy playing out Hamilton now lead, but he was beginning to question his tyres, so he and Mercedes faced a judgement call on how to handle this race but he stayed out, late stages he was caught by Bottas but it didn’t real ly matter, Hamilton finished second to become sixth time world champion!
England Rugby Team Slammed As Bad Losers ENGLAND'S players have come under fire for re fusing to wear their run nersup medals after los ing the Rugby World Cup final. England were easily beaten by South Africa’s relentless intensity as their World Cup final ended with a crushing 3212 defeat in the final at International Stadium Yokohama. As England were given their runners up medals, lock Itoje did not put the silverware around his neck while Kyle Sinckler immediately ripped his off. Rugby fans around the world slammed England as sore and bad losers across social media. Thousands mocked the losing team worldwide.
ENGLANDç: Thousands mocked the losing team.
One wrote: ‘England having a temper tantrum refusing to wear their medals. Pathetic.’ There were several thousand more of similar nature. Stuart Johnson tweet
ed ‘If you win a silver m e d a l i n a 1 0 0 m e t r e Olympics final do you throw it away?’ England clearly haven’t done themselves any favours in the publicity stakes thats for sure.
