MALAGA CF is on the receiving end of some more bad luck as National Police officers entered the club’s offices at 8.30am yesterday morning (Wednesday January 22) to request finacial documentation in an action that has been ordered by the Court of Instruction number 14 of the capital. Details of the proceedings, which the Judge of the court has ordered to be kept secret, are said to be linked to the complaint filed by an association of small shareholders of Malaga.

against Economic and Fiscal Crime (UDEF) arrived at the offices of the club, located in the stadium of La Rosaleda, to collect
the documentation requested to prove the economic viability of the club. The investigators were
accompanied by the judicial secretary of the Court of Instruction of Malaga, who has taken charge of the complaint filed by the
Association of Small Shareholders (APA) against Sheikh Al-Thani and the rest of the members of the Board of Directors formed by his three children. In the complaint, the APA accuses the Al-Thani family of the alleged crimes of ‘unfair administration,’ ‘misappropriation of funds’ and ‘imposition of abusive corporate agreements.’ They also requested that the owner be removed from the management of the club and that a judicial administration be appointed to direct it. So far the judge has dismissed precautionary
measures and has cited inadequate documentation provided by these shareholders, and so the complaint has been passed to the defendants to allow them to give a statement in court on February 18, 2020, from 10.15am Police sources confirmed that the offices are being reviewed as part of a court order.

FINANCE 42-45 LEAPY RONDA: Today, the chamber contains an exhibition describing the history of the town’s architectural treasure.
ARCHITECTONIC MARVEL IN the romantic city of Ronda stands the iconic Puente Nuevo. Hordes of people congregate daily at the bridge that connects the two sides of Ronda. Directly underneath the sturdy structure is a 100-metre drop to the menacing El Tajo gorge. The bridge that stands today was started in 1759 and took 34 years to build. Construction on the previous bridge began in 1735, being the first attempt to build over
the highest point of the gorge. Unfortunately, the single-arch bridge was built shabbily and with haste. Disaster struck in 1741, when the entire bridge collapsed, killing 50 people. Architect José Martin de Aldehuela was at the helm of the successful second attempt. His remarkable design turned the bridge into the city’s icon, which has since become Spain’s most photographed bridge. To build the
New commitment NUEVA ANDALUCIA will receive a new Multipurpose Centre in the summer of 2021, allowing residents and groups of the district to host all kinds of events. The mayor, Ángeles Muñoz, recently visited the plot in which this infrastructure has already been planned out and stressed that it is a “commitment that was included in our programme. “Nueva Andalucía, with a population of 8,000 residents, needed an installation of this nature that would provide an outlet for the needs of the area.” The mayor continued “In this way, they will be able to organise exhibitions, cultural events, concerts, screenings and workshops, among other activities.” The councillor pointed out that the building, with two and a half floors, will be built in an area of 1,500 square metres.

large structure, a system of pulleys hoisted large stones from the gorge floor where they had been quarried and shaped. Above the bridge’s central arch there is a chamber of around 60 square metres. It is said that during the Spanish Civil War, the room was used as a prison and torture chamber for captured opponents. Allegedly, prisoners were hung from the window or thrown to their deaths in the deep gorge below.
Far-right fury MORE than 1,000 people in Malaga City participated in the protest against the new Spanish government. The manifestation was organised by the far-right political party VOX, against the new PSOE government formed by Pedro Sánchez. Crowds assembled in front of the town hall to read a manifesto that was proclaimed in similar gatherings all over Spain. National Police estimated at least 1,000 people were present at the manifestation. The provincial leader of the party, José Enrique Lara, was accompanied by VOX MP Patricia Rueda, who read the manifesto. Rueda was interrupted by chanted slogans including ‘A united Spain will never be defeated’ and ‘We aren’t fooled, Cataluña is Spain.’ Protesters chanted as they remarked on the absence of the mayor of Malaga. They then marched up Calle Larios towards Plaza de la Constitución, where the National Anthem was played.

Myra Azzopardi, the founder of Citizen Advice Bureau was asked in 1995 to set out a list detailing the type of problems that
the non-Spanish community and visitors were experiencing whilst in Spain. Assisting a group of interested people, the first office for foreigners was eventually set up in Estepona by the then newly elected government. As a result of a demand for a more extensive service , it concluded with Myra setting up the Costa Advice Bureau in 2006. During the following years, it became apparent that the expatriate community needed a
place and persons to whom they could turn to for support. With this in mind a project was put in place to set up a group for the expatriate residents, non-residents and visitors alike, in need of advice, assistance, and accurate information.

Latin dance FUENGIROLA Town Council will hold a free Latin dance class on February 7 in the Plaza de la Constitución as part of the start of the activities for ‘Vive Fuengirola con Amor’ programme. Organiser, Isabel González pointed out that “it will be the dance academies Chassé and ‘Baila Conmigo’ that will be responsible for teaching couples to take the first steps in different forms of Latin dances. So that as many people as possible can learn, two classes are planned; the first at 7.00pm and the second after 8.00pm.” Her partner, Isabel Moreno has insisted that “this activity can go as a couple or alone, which is an opportunity to meet other dance fans and have a good time dancing.” In this regard, she also highlighted “that the class will review the dances from the most basic movements, so that someone who has never danced but wants to start in this activity can go without any problem.”
Step aside THE president of Vox Malaga, José Enrique Lara, has been ‘invited’ to leave his post and make room for a new party leader in the province. “We have asked him to step aside. We are looking for greater management within the party,” highlights a prominent Vox militant in Malaga, who through various WhatsApp groups and faceto-face meetings with affiliates, is trying to remove Lara from the post. Attempts to dethrone Lara are not a new occurrence. In the middle of last year, party militants led by Martín Ortega, tried unsuccessfully to bring forward a motion of censure. Critics point out the lack of transparency and problems with the internal management of the party with appointments such as that of Patricia Rueda, deputy in Congress and number one in the two calls of the 2019 general elections, which was without the

SEAL THE DEAL THE real estate market in Malaga is still in full swing with some of the most symbolic buildings in the city up for grabs including what was the first Telefónica headquarters in the capital, located next to the cathedral. After a first failed attempt to sell this asset with an initial value of €15 million, the company has finally managed to seal the deal, with sources confirming the sale for around €12 million. What has not transcended so far is the identity of the buyer. However, the same sources indicated that it is an entrepreneur who has already carried out other operations to purchase Telefónica assets. It should be remembered that the firm activated a plan months ago to get rid of a good part of its

One of the conditions included in the transfer procedure was that the buyer had to agree that the company’s operators currently working in this property, located on Calle Postigo de Los Abades, were still able to occupy it for a period of five years. The sale of this property coincides with another of the processes that Telefónica has opened in Barcelona. The group had been in the ‘competitive process’ phase of the sale of its historic building located in Plaza Catalunya in the Catalan capital, but finally sold for €100 million to the Basque billionaire based in Switzerland Daniel Maté.
Animal cruelty THE case of the false pet care centre in Torremolinos, where hundreds of dogs and cats were sacrificed unjustifiably, continues. Animal rights associations recently held a demonstration to recover the lands handed over by the council to Parque Animal, whose president, Carmen Marín, has been in prison since late 2017
for crimes of document falsification and animal abuse. The association continues to exploit public lands although the sentence of three years and nine months in jail against Marín was issued by the Criminal Court of Malaga in December 2016. The animal protection centre is currently managed by unaCanes,
however, it continues in the name of Parque Animal. Despite the ruling, the council has not withdrawn the concession the Marin association has on the land where in 2010 several officers of the Servicio de Protección a la Naturaleza discovered, during an inspection, freezers full with dozens of animals, some of them who had only just died.

BREXIT BRIEF
Gibraltar won’t negotiate with EU THERE seems to be some confusion between Gibraltar and the UK after Chief Minister Fabian Picardo gave an interview in which it appeared that he was looking for Gibraltar to join Schengen following Brexit. There was a response from a UK government spokesman (according to the BBC) saying that this was not possible and that any arrangement would have to be part of the UK-EU talks on future relations with the European Union. Since then, Mr Picardo has explained that he wasn’t looking for FORMER Secretary of State for International Trade under Theresa May and a staunch Brexiteer has taken the opportunity to give public advice to Boris Johnson with regards to trade deals with the USA. He considers that it is more than likely that there will be a considerable delay in setting in place a deal with the American federal government due to the British decision to support the EU ban on

Of the current 28 States in the EU, just six, including the UK are not part of Schengen which is an agreement which allows free movement between Schengen members without the need to show passports or obtain visas (except in times of emergency). As Gibraltar employs so many Spaniards and expatriates who live in Spain, any delay at the border could be harmful not only to the economy of Gibraltar (which also sees large numbers of tourists entering across the land border) but also to the local Spanish towns such as La Linea de la Concepcion, Alcaidesa and San Roque who rely on workers’ income. It would appear that Northern Ireland will receive special treatment as far as cross border movement with its neighbour the Republic and Gibraltar is anxious to see as little disruption with movement into Spain as possible.

Gámez Guard MARÍA GÁMEZ is to be appointed general director of the Guardia Civil. The current sub-delegate of the government in Malaga will become the first woman to lead this department, with this designation marking a new milestone by breaking the trend that has prevailed in 175 years. In her inauguration, after paraphrasing Victoria Kent, Gámez announced that she was “proud to be the first in this position in Malaga.” She went on to defend the role of women and stated that “At the same time, I confess, I also feel anger for those who couldn’t be before.” Gámez announced her withdrawal from politics two years earlier, in August 2016, after unsuccessfully trying twice to reach the City Hall of the capital and renouncing the spokesperson of the PSOE in the City Council. The appointment is one of the most anticipated turns of events since Minister Grande-Marlaska informed Felix Azón that he would not continue to lead the armed institute after his administration was questioned internally.

MALAGA PARK: Many homelesss people come to spend the night to sleep.
Refuge for homeless COSTA DEL SOL’S Malaga Park gives refuge to the homeless during cold winter nights. A mishmash campsite in the middle of an urban jungle serves as a place to live for those who have nowhere to spend the cold winter nights in Malaga. It’s not unusual for those who take an early morn-
ing stroll through the Malaga Park during the winter months to come across displaced clothing, belongings, towels found on the ground, benches and under the trees. Items belonging to the many homeless people who come to Malaga Park to sleep. A towel left on the green
grass near the fountain of Ninfa del Cántaro indicates that someone has spent the night there. At a closer look one might see an old suitcase near the Eduardo Ocón auditorium. Backpacks, bags, blankets and other belongings are found strewn across the stands, evidence someone has just left the area moments before. A gardener from the town hall witnesses how every day the homeless who use the park as a shelter during the winter season are stirred awake by the police at 9.00am and from there they may gather by a small esplanade about 40 metres from the auditorium. Some go for breakfast at a nearby social centre, others may try their luck begging to get a few coins whilst others remain at the park, on a bench musing over a can of beer. As the sun sets and the chilling night wraps its icy fingers around the city, the homeless return to take their places in the refuge of the park once more.

So ADANA, the Estepona-based dog rescue and rehoming charity, stepped in and this year organised a procession and the blessing of animals at the church of San Jose Estepona. More than 50 people, some with two or even three dogs, took part in the procession, which started at the Paseo Maritimo and ended at the church steps where the participants queued to have their pets individually blessed by the parish priest. ADANA President Mary Page said the charity was pleased with such a good turnout on a working day and pointed out that as next year the Saint’s day falls on a Saturday more people were likely to attend with their pets. This year ADANA is celebrating its 30th anniversary and will be commemorating this by organising several events, including a beach party, a party in the Calvario Park, a special benefit event at the town’s Flamenco Club and an exhibition in the Casa de las Tejerinas in Estepona

Triples fiesta at Miraflores! THE Club Drawn Triples competition took place this week in warm sunny weather. With a good entry and some hotly fancied triples being drawn we looked forward to a feast of quality bowling. The early rounds saw some very closely contested matches. The semi-finals were closely fought, but the teams of Val Lewis, Anne Clough and Brenda Hall and Derek Carr, Terry Stone and John Fairgrieve won through by comfortable margins. This meant that both teams each had two players who had not previously won a club competition guaranteeing a couple of new names on the honours board. Finals day arrived and as always there were a large group of people watching. Both teams were very evenly matched as demonstrated by the scores being level after six ends, nine ends and finally 9-9 after 14 ends. Derek’s team always just keeping the initiative and never going behind during this period. Unfortu-
THIRD WARMEST YEAR: Playa de la Malagueta.
Global warming THE year 2019 has been the third warmest in history in Malaga. It is tied with 2016 with an average temperature of 19.6 degrees Celsius. The record is held by 2014, the year in which the thermometers registered an average of 19.9 degrees Celsius.
THE FINALISTS (from L to R): John, Val, Derek, Terry, Brenda and Anne. nately for Val’s team disaster struck on the 16th end when they dropped five shots to go 15-9 down with only two ends remaining. The only way to recover this was by playing extraordinary shots which unfortunately didn’t come off resulting in Derek, Terry and John becoming champions comfortably with the score 21-9.
Terry and John will now see their names on the board alongside the many luminaries from the past! Both teams receiving warm applause and congratulations for their efforts. Carol on presenting the trophy said that it was a shame there had to be a loser and that the match had kept everyone captivated throughout.
These details are provided by José María Sánchez-Laulhé, Jefe de Predicción of the Centro Meteorológico de Málaga, who said: “In this last decade, thermometers have reached the highest levels due to the global warming we are experiencing.” It should also be remembered that 2019 was the driest year in Malaga
in which about 181.2 litres per square metre were registered at the end of the year, about 344 litres below the average. Globally, 2019 has been the warmest since 1880. Last year, it was 0.98 degrees Celsius warmer than the average from 1951 to 1980, according to scientists from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

Educational support IN the Colegio Carmen de Burgos in Malaga, there are a total of 74 schoolchildren with specific educational support needs, but only one PTIS monitor is available to take care of all these children who require assistance. In the Colegio Jardín Botánico de la Cala de Mijas there are two specific classrooms and 40 children integrated into ordinary classrooms. They share the support member with another centre and only have one Hearing and Language teacher for all cases. These examples serve to highlight the situation of special needs. The number of children in need of help increases every year, but the resources allocated to them do not grow in equal measure.

NOT ENOUGH SPACE: Emergency clinics are overflowing.
Bed emergency THE recurrent collapse of the Emergency Department of Malaga hospitals is the tangible proof of the lack of beds. Sindicato Médico president, Antonio Martín, explains that when the scheduled surgery patients join with the increase in those admitted to the Emergency Department due to winter conditions, there is simply not enough space in the wards. This means that those in Observation do not have a bed to be admitted or sometimes even those in the ICU to go to the ward when they have already been treated. “The problem is that there are not enough beds
and in times of greater demand like this the deficit is more noticeable,” he said. Hospitals recognise that they are in a period of high frequency, although they insist on portraying an image of tranquility because they ensure that they are prepared and that assistance is guaranteed. Sindicato Médico and the Técnicos de Enfermería denounced waits of up to 24 hours for a bed in the Hospital Regional. The Nursing Union (Sindicato de Enfermería) have warned that the emergency clinics have ‘overflowed,’ with patients waiting ‘for hours’ on stretchers when their admission had already been arranged.

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, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es. Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible. If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org. A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname. The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person). Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe. After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate. After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months. The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross. Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery. Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million. This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice. If in any doubt, seek professional help.

A 50-year-old Italian citizen and his 29-year-old son have been arrested by the National Police in Benalmadena after claims by the authorities in their country for allegedly participating in a million-dollar heist from a Naples jewellery store. It is believed that the fugitives are part of a high profile criminal organisation dubbed the ‘Banda del Buco’ (Hole Gang) and that they participated together with other gang members in the theft of jewels worth €800,000. In the robbery, which took place on June 11 the culprits managed to gain access through their typical hole technique which allowed them access to the store where they threatened employees with firearms and restrained them enabling the robbers to flee with their loot. During the investigation, the Italian authorities dismantled all of the criminal group apart from the two referred to only as AC and SC, who managed to evade arrest. Through the channels of international police cooperation, it was known that the fugitives could be in the south of Spain, so with the collaboration of both forces, an investigation was initiated to try to locate them. They have now been captured in Benalmadena, where they had established their residence and arresting officers recovered false documentation, mobile phones and €4,000.

NEW PROJECT: Members of the Council visited the training centre. MINDFUL of the number of young people who are unemployed, the Benalmadena Council has created a new project Benemplea to teach skills thanks to a grant of nearly €850,000 from the European Social Fund. In the long term, it is planned to train 150 local residents in five different areas, Basic Operations of Apartments in Lodgings, Bar Cafeteria Services, Auxiliary Trade Activities, Social and Health Care for Dependents in Social Institutions and Auxiliary Activities in Nurseries, Gardens and Garden Centres and the first 75 students are already in place. This is a two-year programme and the council will be committing some €218,000 to Benemplea but believes that the long-
term benefits of this investment will generate work and repay the investment over time, especially with healthy funding from the European Union. Members of the council visited the Benalforma Municipal Training Centre to chat with the students and discover how they were getting on and during the visit, the students of the Bar and Cafeteria Service served brunch to the visitors and their colleagues. During the courses, many of the students will have work experience and some will enjoy internships with different local companies with the aim that when they complete their training they will find it easy to obtain work within the municipality.

Benefits of LED lights WITH immediate effect the Fuengirola Council is embarking on an ambitious four-year programme aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses and saving almost €500,000 per year. There are 12,500 lampposts and publicly controlled lights within the municipality and it is the intention of the council to steadily replace all the lights with energy saving LEDs. It is estimated this programme will mean that when complete, Fuengirola will emit 1,361 tons less of CO2 into the atmosphere and after the initial cost of replacing the lights, there will be an ongoing saving in cash and environmental terms. Since 2014, the council has replaced 4,500 bulbs with LED lights but on a piece meal basis and that action alone had reduced energy consumption by 19 per cent already, but this shows a real commitment to benefit both the environment and council coffers.

La Cala - Mijas FOLLOWING a meeting between representatives of La Cala de Mijas Lions and MiMoana, the Lion’s president, Anita Humphreys presented the organisation with a cheque for €1,000 in order to assist with their work. MiMoana is a volunteer organisation which is concerned with the oceans and undertakes the cleaning of beaches and the sea bed.

Repair Café arrives THE Mijas Council is very aware of the need to be part of the fight against global warming and to cut deadly emissions and after the recent Climate Summit in Madrid is taking on the responsibility of doing its bit to help. The council department responsible for energy efficiency will launch Andalucia’s first Repair Café following the examples of Barcelona, Madrid and Toledo. The concept first emerged in Amsterdam several years ago and is very simple in that it encourages those with the skills to repair electrical items to attend a Repair Café on a regular basis to offer their services free of charge to try to get broken electrical items working again. It won’t always be possible, but on many occasions, items which could be easily and cheaply repaired are thrown away adding to the problems of disposal which is often at landfill. The plan is that once a month, the council will announce a time and date for the Repair Café to take place and is now appealing to those who would like to volunteer their services or would be happy to take part in running repair classes to email energia@mi jas.es for further information. There are now 1,850 of these cafes operating in 40 countries around the world but there are just six in Spain, so not only will Mijas be doing its bit to combat climate change, but hopefully will inspire other councils on the Costa del Sol to follow in its footsteps.

Blessing of the animals LAST Friday was the feast day of Saint Anthony and across much of Spain people bring their pets to church for a blessing. The Hermitage of San Anton in Osunillas above Mijas Pueblo is a perfect setting for the local priest to follow the tradition and a large number of animal lovers turned up with their pets, most of which were well-behaved to enjoy the traditional mass. Mijas mayor Josele González is proud of the diverse events that occur across the municipality which reinforce solidarity amongst residents and attract tourists during the year. According to local folklore if a small stone is thrown at the statue of the saint and hits, the person throwing will soon find a new boyfriend or girlfriend. The mass started at noon with a large congregation enjoying the decent weather and once the animals had been blessed, there was a general get together with a traditional meal featuring callos (tripe) which was prepared in huge vats by members of the Butlers of Osunillas who also organised the whole event.
New group to help the donkeys MUCH has been made about the treatment of the donkeys which operate the ‘taxi’ service in Mijas Pueblo and although it is not a long-standing tradition as some think, it appears to be a lucrative undertaking for those who own the animals. A new by-law has been introduced whereby overweight ‘passengers’ should not be carried and a number of local residents and caring members of the public are keeping an eye on the continued treatment of the donkeys. Now a new organisation, the Mijas Donkey Movement Project UK which was founded as recently as the end of October last year is to have a public open day on February 1 which will run from 1pm to 6pm with live mu-

Robot to help dementia JAPAN has an ageing population which as in many countries around the world is only likely to grow and because of this the Japanese government has encouraged research into methods of helping older people, especially if suffering from dementia related problems. In 1993, Japanese engineer Takanori Shibata (Chief Senior Research Scientist, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan) started experiments in producing a robot with Artificial Intelligence which would help those with both dementia and autism using the concept of an animal as the form the robot should take.

AI ROBOT: The presentation with two delightful NUKAs.
His natural inclination was to produce a cat or a dog but soon discovered that people had too high an expectation of how it would behave and chose instead a baby seal based on images of seals he had seen in Canada. Thus PARO or NUKA as it is called in Spain was born and over the years it has grown from a concept to a genuine aid which has currently seen sales of 6,000 units in 30 countries and NUKA has now arrived on the Costa del Sol. Having passed clinical trials in Japan, the USA and most of Europe it has been found to have a
very beneficial effect upon those who are anxious, tongue tied, forgetful or aggressive due to dementia and now the CK La Quinta Medical Centre in San Pedro Alcantara, easily reached from Marbella centre will be offering therapy using their very own NUKA robot. The Centre which offers long term care and short term/respite hosted a presentation of NUKA undertaken by Takanori Shibata and the CEO of Asturhealth which distributes NUKA in Spain, Rafael Martínez Permuy explaining the history of the robot and its therapeutic value. The little white furry
creature is the size of the average pet cat or dog and responds to human contact by moving its head and flippers and making a gentle noise similar to that of a seal pup when it is happy. Tests show that it does help in a large number of different cases and even assists in medical areas such as Parkinson’s, chemotherapy nausea, loss of speech and much more. In Japan, many elderly people have purchased their own and treat them as pets which do not need exercise, toilet training or feeding, but react well to being stroked and their fur does not attract bacteria. The majority of NUKAs in Europe are purchased by institutions, care homes and even hospitals and the price for a single unit which has an expected life of 10 years is in the region of €5,000.

IN order for the UK Withdrawal from the European Union to take place, a similar Gibraltar Withdrawal Bill will need to be approved by their parliament which to a great extent is simply a matter of course. The Gibraltar Government has issued a series of guidelines concerning Brexit which in summary states that there will be no change to the way in which citizens and businesses interact with the European Union until the Implementation Period comes to an end on December 31, 2020. This means, for example, that Gibraltar-issued identity cards, passports, pet passports, EU Health Cards and driving licences can continue to be used in the same way as they have until now for the duration of the Implementation Period. It is important to understand that the Withdrawal Agreement provides for an Implementation Period which will start on February 1, 2020 and end on December 31, 2020. The Implementation Period, sometimes also referred to as the transitional period or transitional

phase, will apply to Gibraltar. During the Implementation Period, EU law shall still be applicable to and in Gibraltar to the same extent as EU law has been applicable to and in Gibraltar to date. Crucially, this means that until December 31, 2020 there will be a period of continuity. The only changes during the Implementation Period will affect the manner in which the UK is represented in the EU at an institutional level. Therefore, since the UK will no longer be part of the EU deci-
sion-making process after January 31, the UK will not be represented in the EU institutions, agencies and bodies after this date. For example, this will mean that UK MEPs (including the six MEPs for the South West of England and Gibraltar) will be required to stand down at that time. The relationship of the UK and therefore Gibraltar with the EU thereafter will be governed by agreements reached between the parties on the future relationship with the EU.
Sea Gulls poisoned THE Department of Environment in Gibraltar has seen a surprising number of dying Yellow-legged Gulls displaying unusual symptoms over the last few months. Veterinary analyses have shown that these birds have been poisoned and although they are something of a menace on the Rock, the public has been reminded that the killing of all wild birds including gulls is illegal without a licence. Poisoning results in a slow and painful death that is extremely cruel
and the use of poison can have unintended consequences and affect other fauna, either other species that take the poisoned bait or predators that eat poisoned prey. Indeed some of these species may be rare and the poison could potentially affect children and, pets. The Department of the Environment is currently investigating all evidence at its disposal and may approach the Royal Gibraltar Police in due course to review the matter further if the deaths continue.
Ongoing power cuts more than an irritation FOR years the people of Gibraltar had been serviced by a rapidly deteriorating and old generating station, so when the new Power Station was officially opened on September 12 last year, they thought that outages and black outs would be a thing of the past. So irritated are so many consumers and businesses about the number of power cuts that the Gibraltar Electricity Authority has had to issue a statement to explain what is going on and the reasons for the continued outages. It says that since going online, there have been a number of necessary tests carried out in order to ensure that the power station is able to offer a safe and efficient service and having completed these tests, they are now checking control and automation systems. Because of the particular conditions they operate in with no connection to any other countries’ electrical network, these tests must be carried out on the live grid which will increase the chances of
power outages occurring. These tests have to take place during the day, because that is the time of highest power demand although some tests are also taking place at night when demand is lower. Having explained the reasons for the ongoing problems, the Electricity Authority has perhaps ‘rubbed salt into the wound’ by saying: “The commissioning phase is critical when looking to taking over a new Power Station, and therefore we would like to take the opportunity to thank our customers for their continued support despite recent power cuts during this period of testing,” when of course locals have no control over what is happening.
Upper Rock picnic sites VISITORS to Gibraltar may be interested to know that two picnic sites on the Upper Rock have been prepared in time for the spring. The site at Jews’ Gate, at the lower entrance to the path leading to the Mediterranean Steps, has been refurbished, while a new area with tables and benches has been created at the site of the old Willis’s Guard room, at the opposite (northern) end of the Upper Rock. This is part of ongoing works to continue to improve facilities for users of the Upper Rock. The works have been carried out in consultation with GONHS (the Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society) to ensure that there was no negative impact on wild animals or plants. If you are thinking of visiting the Upper Rock with its many attractions, be aware however that non-resident vehicles (except those holding blue disabled badges) are not allowed to drive there, so the main options are the cable car or a taxi, both of which will cost money. It is possible to go part of the way by bus or to take the very long walk up the Rock, but even then there are charges for entry to certain of the attractions.

Quiet zones INCREASE IN DEMAND: Twenty five extra professionals.
Extra hands END TO NOISE PROBLEMS: Doors and windows to be closed after 11pm. and windows closed after 11pm. Not only that, but the establishments must designate a person who is responsible for ensuring that visitors when entering, leaving or staying outside
the premises, do not disturb the neighbourhood. Once the closing time has arrived, the establishments must be completely empty and closed within 20 minutes. The Zoning Department
also plans to intensify the controls of the Local Police, “which should preferably be on foot during the night hours in order to avoid crowds of people and acts of violence and vandalism.”
THE Virgen de la Victoria Hospital, Malaga, has been reinforcing the General Emergency Service of the Hospital Clínico and Valle del Guadalhorce in view of the increase in the related care demand of patients affected by the flu epidemic. Usually, respiratory, cardiological and cancer patients are the most affected at this time of year. To make sure the workforce is covered 100 per cent in this area of care, the health centre has hired 25 extra professionals for this period. Specifically, a total of three doctors, seven nursing professionals, seven auxiliary nursing technicians, five caretakers and three cleaning professionals have been incorporated, to give a better response to this situation.

CREATING NEW PARKING SPACES: To include disabled parking and charging points.
THE remodelling of a plot that will house 174 parking spaces in an industrial estate in San Pedro has already begun. The site in question, located on Calle Chipre, will include disabled parking spaces and two charging points for electric vehicles. The term of execution of the works will be a month and a half and has a budget of €260,000, as explained by the mayor, Ángeles
Muñoz, in her visit to the plot, accompanied by the deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier Garcia. This project is part of the parking plan that the Consistory is carrying out throughout the municipality, with the anticipation of creating about 3,000 parking spaces. “We all know the needs of Marbella, and we are committed to creating more places in both underground and surface projects,” said Muñoz.

EU has trade surplus A REPORT compiled by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW Kiel) and the ifo Institute Munich has concluded that the European Union has a trade surplus with itself of €307 billion rather than the zero it should be. They contend that simple calcula tion errors could not possibly account for such a huge amount which grows annually, but is likely to be the result of massive tax fraud which affects every member state. According to their estimates, such practices could have cost the EU
By John Smith member states’ treasuries some €30 billion in 2018 alone and it is easy for companies to perform the sleight of hand which results in the tax evasion. “When companies declare sales as exports, they are exempt from VAT. However, if, in reality, these transac tions were not crossborder but do mestic, they are not recorded in the supposed trading partner’s import statistics and go untaxed,” explained those responsible for undertaking the study. Last year, the entire world ran a
trade surplus with itself of €357 bil lion, so this new analysis suggests that 86 per cent of the global devia tion is solely due to the EU and points a finger at the UK due in part to the way in which it prepares its trade data using small random sam ples only. Britain however battled for many years with the Carousel Fraud prob lem which saw goods imported from the EU without paying VAT and then companies selling those goods and charging VAT , finally closing down prior to paying the UK Customs and absconding with the money.

LEGALLY SPEAKING How to get 3/5 majority? Our community is considering a vote to limit shortterm holiday rentals, but how can we ob tain the votes of ‘threefifths of the members’ when fewer than half that number ever attend the AGM? I raised the question with our administrator who kindly explained in detail about ‘members present or by proxy’ and the first and second calling of the meeting. Can you confirm her explanation? S D (Costa Blanca) Yes, we can. We tend to use the YOU AND THE term ‘members’ LAW IN SPAIN too loosely. Here is the detailed picture. The announcement of the AGM should specify ‘first calling’ and then ‘second calling’ usu ally half an hour later. If 51 per cent of members and proxies are not present, the AGM cannot be held on first calling. At the second calling, valid decisions can be voted by the members and proxies present. So a threefifths vote of those present will suffice to pass resolutions. The members who did not attend can protest the vote within 30 days after being informed. Note that the law also spec ifies that this majority must include the ‘cuotas’ or partici pation shares as well as the number of owners.

Sareb takeover proposed It was set up in 2009 by a consor tium of investment banks (54 per cent) and the FROB (46 per cent) rep resenting the Spanish government to take over and manage the huge number of properties which were the subject of bad debts. Since then it has disposed of a number of the properties and also

ISMAEL CLEMENTE, the CEO of Socimi Merlin Properties has suggested that it would be appropriate and in keeping with their principles for the new Spanish government to purchase 100 per cent of Sareb, the ‘bad bank.’
ISMAEL CLEMENTE (centre): Suggested government should buy Sareb.
Thousands take exams IN order to work in the public sector in Spain, it is necessary to undertake and pass examinations known as ‘las oposiciones’ and last Sunday J a n u a r y 1 9 , 1 6 6 ,4 0 0 p e o p l e
sat the examination competing for just 4,055 jobs in the post office (Correos). With a ratio of 41 people for each job, the chances of succeeding are low but having re-
duced the work force by 1 5 ,0 0 0 o v e r t h e p a s t s e v e r a l years and with 30 per cent of its staff on temporary contracts, Correos is now attempting to fill the gap.
arranged for some incomplete new builds to be finished, but still holds a very large portfolio of properties, some commercial, but many unin habited apartments and houses as well as land. As the cost of renting property across the country has become more expensive, with a greater demand due to the number of people who ei ther lost their existing properties or are unable to obtain mortgages, the Clemente proposal does resonate with many. His argument is that because of the shortage of affordable property and in keeping with its socialist ideals, if the government takes over the organisation, it will be able to not only rent out some of the properties directly but could also transfer public land released to developers in order for them to build affordable new housing. The developers would be able to recover their costs over a period of years (with a reasonable profit mar gin) and once this has been done, the properties would then be handed over to the State as assets to man age.

BUSINESS EXTRA Exceedingly good PREMIER FOODS, makers of the Mr Kipling range of cakes have announced that sales were up overall by 2.6 per cent in the UK during the Christmas period thanks to Mr Kipling and Paxo stuffing which both performed well.
Public debt SLIGHTLY worse than forecast, the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs has revealed that the debt to GDP ratio for November stood at 96.01 per cent, compared to 97.76 per cent a year earlier and only just missed target.
EU confusion THE Spanish Banking Association (AEB) has asked regulators to clarify certain requirements for regulatory compliance of services when the bodies involved (European Securities and Markets Authority and European Banking Authority) appear to have different rules.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT I REALLY could not have agreed more with actor Lawrence Fox, when he stated on last week’s Question Time that this whole racism question is becoming decidedly boring. I also loved his description of racist accusers being a bunch of ‘sanctimonious, humorless, preachy victimhood-peddling mediocrities that fill our public spaces.’ Brilliant, and so true. These people that find racism under every stone are the biggest racists of all. The United Kingdom is not America. Back in the 50’s and 60’s, when I was a lad, we had not even heard the word racism. When groups like the wonderful Platters, The Drifters, and performers with the talents of Johnny Mathis and Nat King Cole came along, we truly never saw colour. All we saw were great artists. The problems began to arise in the UK when the early black immigrants shied away from integration and began to create their own ‘tribal’ neighbourhoods, thereby setting themselves apart and consequently remaining an unknown and somewhat suspicious entity among the indigenous population. However, over the years with better education and with later
www.euroweeklynews.com
So boring... generations becoming more integrated, the British populace has tried its utmost to accept all as equal, and even introduced strict laws of the land to make sure that racial discrimination is in no way tolerated in the country. But that simply wasn’t good enough was it. The wingers, who either out of pure hatred or simply looking for excuses, still endeavour to put the blame for a whole multitude of their misfortunes on racism. Because many of their accusations are completely unfounded or frivolous, it’s made people angry, actually creating racism where it never before existed. This latest episode concerning the Duchess of Sussex is a typical example. The British people welcomed this young lady with open arms. Disregarding the despicable trolls, the fact that she was of mixed race was not an issue. Even the evangelistic wedding service, which was utterly unfamiliar and unorthodox to most of the British public, was accepted and celebrated as a part of their new royal family member’s heritage. Even when it became apparent that her main circle of friends - Oprah, Serena Williams, and the Obamas were all black, and she
was at loggerheads with her white father, the British public still never harped on about what could easily have be interpreted as her own racist leanings. But when it all started to go wrong, instead of blaming the fact this selfish and ambitious young lady’s dream of being a princess was not quite the ‘leading role’ she had in mind, the ‘usual suspects’ all began screaming that she was being forced to make her decisions because of racism! One accuser actually stated on TV that because she was depicted as the instigator of the Sussex decision to withdraw from the Royal family, it was inferring that all black women were aggressive and manipulating and therefore the insinuations were racist! No, I’m afraid those who stir up racism at every opportunity are themselves the true problem. The sooner we lay the blame where it truly belongs, the better. LAWRENCE FOX: Keep the faith His description was Love Leapy brilliant and so true. leapylee2002@ gmail.com

EU INSURANCE DIRECT 15TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY
EU INSURANCE DIRECT in Elviria celebrates their 15th year in Spain in 2020 and Wendy Codd who is the proprietor of the company asks where did the time go? She has seen many changes since the early days, some of the major changes have been the tightening up of Regulations and Legislation in the Insurance Industry. Data Protection and Money Laundering along with compulsory ongoing training throughout the year for all Insurance Brokers and Agents. She has seen car and home policies change in line with customer demands
offering extra covers, more inclusive benefits and competitive pricing. She remembers offering fully comprehensive policies at the beginning for a typical 4x4 for more than €800 a year, when the same car quoted today could be half that, premiums have reduced and covers have increased. EU Insurance are able to offer fully comprehensive cover for cars starting at around €270 per year (depending upon make and model, age of client etc) offering exceptional covers. Home Insurance - they have a variety of plans on offer to suit all budgets and needs, they can also cover mobile
phones/laptops/jewellery etc outside the home as part of the home insurance. Home insurance is also the cheapest way to insure a dangerous dog (liability cover) as they can include this benefit for very small cost. EU Insurance’s best selling points are that the majority of policies come in English, the companies they deal with have multilingual help lines, their office is in Elviria, two of her staff are English but also fluent in Spanish. Claims are dealt with through their office and chased on a regular basis, their aim is to try and make everything as sim-
ple and streamlined as possible.

MORE SUN-SEEKERS IN SOUTHERN SPAIN! 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
RECENT research showing that Neanderthals came to spend the summer on the south coast of the Iberian peninsula puts a new gloss on package holidays in the sun. Thirty thousand years ago, when Europe was going through an icy period and snow covered practically everything north of the River Ebro, hominoids searched for somewhere warmer to give them a greater chance of survival. We now know that Neanderthals ‘holidayed’ in what is today the south of Portugal and Spain after their most recent footprints were found in a quarry in Gibraltar. So, first Neanderthals, then the Romans. And with all the Roman ruins - villas, roads, marketplaces now being unearthed here in Spain, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Romans were the earliest tourists! After all, you can just imag-
IBERIAN PENINSULA: Neanderthals came to spend summer on the south coast.
ine them, can’t you? Hurtling along the carreteras to the nearest encampment in their horse-drawn chariots. Holding up traffic at the roundabouts. Counting out their silver denarii coins in the markets. Overseeing another luxury villa reforma. And before heading over the Alps into Italy, Hannibal started out in Spain when he arrived from Carthage with his lines of nose-totail elephants. So is all the TAIL-gating you occasionally observe among local drivers, yet one more vestige of those bygone days? Give a final thought, though, to Strabo, an extremely unlucky general who not only suffered miserable defeats, but died of the
plague during one disastrous campaign. Just as he was about to expire, lightning struck his tent and burned it to the ground. So, not a happy camper either. ‘The Romans gave us aqueducts, sanitation, roads, public baths and wine. Yeah, but what else did they do for us?2 I hear you ask. Well, Italians invented coffee culture. No, they weren’t the first to harvest or brew the beans. But they were the first in Europe to open a coffee house (in 1629), to invent the espresso machine (1884) and develop the macchinetta (the stovetop percolator first produced by Bialetti, still the leading creator of the moka, in 1933). ‘OK. But what about Neanderthals, what did they do for us?’ Nora Johnson’s psychological crime thrillers ‘Betrayal,’ ‘The Girl in the Woods,’ ‘The Girl in the Red Dress,’ ‘No Way Back,’ ‘Landscape of Lies,’ ‘Retribution,’ ‘Soul Stealer,’ ‘The De Clerambault Code’ (www.nora-johnson.net) available online as ebook (€0.99;£0.99), ibook, paperback and audiobook.

The Simmering Pit of the Vanities
SUZANNE MANNERS AFTER a hiatus of several years I am back (cue evil laugh)... expounding and eulogising on subjects of which I profess to be an expert while cunningly placing my ignorance, like decades old spice jars (Cardamom...really!!!), at the back of the kitchen cupboard that is my mind. Writers have permission to hold their readers hostage, they bind us hand and foot with words instead of duct tape, while regaling us with anecdotes and inane soundbites. It is a most glorious vanity and one I am overjoyed to be engaged in again. So... greetings Dear Reader, wonderful to be here again. Did you miss me? Vanity is one of the seven deadly sins. Is that label entirely fair? Is he not just misunderstood? Vanity reared his pretty little head during my year 10 Art class this week. This term’s
VANITY: One of the seven deadly sins. topic is self portraiture and I asked my students to draw their own faces in extreme close up... a uniquely perplexing activity at any age (you try
staring at your own face for more than 10 seconds, especially in my case when a ropey looking stranger glares back)... I also insist that they create the
It’ s ok I have enough friends MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I DON’T like Facebook, but do use it just because I have to so I can follow a couple of groups that are to do with my Orthostatic Tremor. It’s the only way I can speak to the few hundred people that also have the disorder. I post a few videos because I’m trying an experiment and it’s going OK. Anyway, because I answer a few folk’s questions, I also have accepted a few friend requests. They’re from people I have known for a few years and maybe lost touch with. But what’s also happened is I’ve started to get requests from people that I don’t really know. They live all over the world, but most are from the USA and Australia and we have spoken online about our disability. I accepted a few but after a few weeks I realised I had made a terrible mistake because of the stuff they post. I don’t need people to presume I am interested in how great they think Donald Trump is. I also don’t have to be told
that Jesus will save me on a regular basis. (Don’t be offended - I would say the same about any other religion’s gov’ners as well). So what do I do now? Easy I unfriend them and decide to go with my original quote I put on FB which said, ‘Please do not ask to be my friend. I have enough friends. In fact I have friends I haven’t even used yet! But should a vacancy occur I will let you know.’ Anyone ‘phoned Vodafone ES customer service lately? Service is fine but the music they play whilst you are on hold is absolutely crazy. It is the loudest rock music I’ve ever heard. I told the operator and they laughed and said ‘I know, everyone says that.’ If everyone agrees, change it! If you have a Vodafone account ring them and tell me what you think. The same goes for shops and restaurants. I find the music in shops is chosen by the staff and most of them are youngsters so, of course, it’s going to be thumping dance music. Restaurants are a little more difficult because a lot of people go for the food and entertainment. The problem is when you go for dinner with a couple of friends and the background music is so loud you can’t hold a conversation. Anyway, just sort it out please.

most absurd, silly, or ugly expressions possible. For image conscious teenagers this has always been surprisingly liberating and it is often the ‘cool’ kids who pull the silliest faces and enjoy the activity the most. Of course this only happens after several minutes of hiding, cringing and full on adolescent whining. There is, however, freedom in this release from vanity and the pressure to look good and with this release the focus on skill and technique begins to override all else. The finished drawings are hilarious, but touching in their vulnerability, creating a wonderful and irreverent display along our corridors of learning. Most importantly they make people laugh. The creation of all forms of art is a vanity. As much as the artist may profess to an altruistic desire to send a message or to create a better world, ultimately, in truth, the act of creation is a vain one that benefits the creator first and foremost.
The pleasure from seeing my words in print is immense, a frisson of pride laced with smug satisfaction. “Look at me. How special I am.” Art historians have written about El Greco’s angst , Van Gogh’s expendable appendages or Munch’s screams, but in reality they painted because it afforded them pleasure, because they chose to. Michaelangelo may have believed that God told him to go forth and chip away but it was his vanity that released David from his marble tomb... and thank goodness for that vanity because without it our world would be an uglier place. So in conclusion let us celebrate the sin of vanity, but not too much, we wouldn’t want to let him get above himself now would we. Next time join me for an exploration of Sloth... if I can be bothered. Toodle pip!

DEAR Euro Weekly, It is such a shame for the royal couple, Harry and Meghan. Am I the only person that feels sorry for them? I think what they are doing is very admirable, surely they should be allowed to chose how to live their life or how much time they put into ‘royal’ duties. Maybe Harry knows something we don’t. There seem to be many questions left unanswered about the family. What really happened to Diana? What on earth is going on with Andrew? I mean is Prince Charles even Harry’s real Dad? I am sure it is James Hewitt. Poor Meghan, fairytales tell us that it’s every little girl’s dream to marry a handsome prince and she has done this and now faces all this backlash. Surely she can reappear in the cast of Suits if she wants to make her own money and Harry can stay at home with baby Archie. Anyway, leave the young couple alone and give them some space. Yours gratefully Margaret Joyce
What’s all the fuss? DEAR Euro Weekly What is all the fuss in Spain with their new government? From what I have understood, albeit with my limited knowledge of Spanish politics, is that the left parties are in government. However, it seems the Spanish aren’t missing much with the other parties. VOX is a radical party that defends animal abuse and hunting. They also have no respect for other cultures and on top of everything they are misogynistic. I say thank gosh that they didn’t get the top spot. Although they are very prominent in town halls and provincial governments. Hopefully, people come to their senses and boot them out. I heard that before VOX, Spain was the only country in
Hurt his own pride
ROYAL COUPLE: Surely they should be allowed to chose how they live their life. Europe that didn’t have a racist, farright party in government. What a shame…. Concerned reader Mijas Costa
HAVE YOUR SAY
DEAR Euro Weekly News, Is it sad to see another high profile person falling prey to the evil of social media or is it just their own stupid fault? Yes, I totally agree that the person blackmailing Malaga coach Victor Sánchez is a complete scumbag, but there is no reason to sack the man for having a bit of fun. He wasn’t hurting anybody apart from his own pride. Really the video is not that shocking and not anything that most people haven’t seen on TV or film. I am glad they managed to get to the source and arrest him. They should have a look at his phone and post some of his private photos online as part of his punishment. I strongly think that they should have a giggle, brush it under the carpet and let the man go back to his work, albeit with his tail between his legs. Kind regards Mark Evans

Be prepared WITH Storm Gloria already in full swing and having given the east of Spain such a powerful battering, more than 30 provinces in Spain were placed on high alert. As most of the sunny coast rarely have to suffer such extreme weather we have to ask that with such a specific infrastructure can they ever be prepared? Cataluña’s regional government went as far as banning outdoor activities in Girona and Barcelona, while Alicante Airport was forced to temporarily close, disrupting more than 200 flights. In southern Alicante, scenes of flooding and street debris reminded residents of the massive storm that hit them in September, when rivers burst their banks and caused widespread damage to property and crops. With the financial infrastructure of these coastal areas dependent on their beautiful beachfronts and import and export of seafood, the installation of storm surge barriers could provide protection from flooding during extreme weather events. By using a movable barrier it can still allow a flow of either maritime traffic or even natural movements of water to and fro. Many of the local governments already have beach regeneration projects to hinder erosion or regenerate the coastline. Future housing construction projects may need to take into consideration the ability to withstand stronger winds and the use of stronger or different materials. At any rate, Spanish cities will have to be built in a way that goes against what appears to be their nature, using the fullness of human ingenuity not to trample the earth and replace natural with the artificial, but to engineer both nature and the land in a way that emphasises their codependence.

MARBELLA MOMENTS BY NICOLE KING JUST thought you’d all like to know that if you can’t get RTV Marbella on your TV sets (TDT channel 37) you can always watch online, either via streaming at the time of it’s first airing - Mondays to Fridays at 2pm - or at your leisure from our RTV Marbella Web and links from Facebook etc. Marbella Now is specifically designed for you, made with love and particular attention to our diverse resident community. Those of us who live here are undoubtedly #BetterTogether and the programme is a great way to get to know people on a more personal level, not just their business. Even the recordings of the show are mini networking experiences, a chance to reach out to one other and build alliances.

Life online With this in mind please reserve the morning of Thursday April 23 for our fifth United Nationalities of Marbella Summit #UNMS2020. This is my annual get together where the associations, businesses, charities, schools and local residents who value living in Marbella identify and address local issues that most affect us and then find and implement solutions by joining forces. Information is power, as is unity, so knowing the resources our city and community has to offer us can only be a good thing. This is why Marbella Now is a must watch as we really have no idea how many gifted people live in our city. This week’s show was recorded at Rio Padrom Recording Studios with owner, musician and piano tuner Elendil Diez. His studios are
MARBELLA NOW: A lot of love goes into making the programme. specifically designed to record live acts on stage and with the addition of his new record label E+E, certainly a place of interest for the many talented local musicians who need to record their performance and make music videos etc. This is also an ideal attraction for international musicians to come to the Coast to record. It’s up to us as a community to help
get this information out - even if we don’t ‘benefit’ directly. The interview with Elendil aired this week on Monday January 20, Marbella Now #246 and I invite you all to take a few minutes to know what he has to offer, you never know who might just need this information. You can also find out more about the volunteers needed
to keep the Cudeca charity stores going with Natividad Gómez, meet our local star Bill Padley, music producer, radio presenter and the Hitman of the Hitman and Her duo, on Tuesday. On January 22 we chatted with Peter Claesson who organises events to replant trees and Kaspar Huijsman of Binck Bank and the Dutch Business Club of Marbella. We also found out more about IKEA Malaga thanks to CIT Marbella and a brilliant performance by Lucy Sassoon, singer pianist and voiceover artist for our Friday show. As I said a lot of love goes into make the programme and our guests have a lot to offer so thank you to everyone for watching and for supporting our resident community - one day it could be your lifeline!
www.nicoleking.es • www.rtvmarbellanow.com • www.zerohero.es DAVID WORBOYS PERSONALLY I don’t like the music of Bach (or Handel). I find Schubert inconsistent and have never understood what lies behind the beauty of Brahms. But I would accept the status of three Germans and three Austrians at the forefront. Chronologically these are Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms. They all excelled in many different forms of music. Other great ‘versatile’ composers include Handel, Mendelssohn, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky. It is doubtful that any of these great composers enjoyed a more interesting life and more personal admiration and affection than Haydn. In 1732 Josef Haydn was born into a poor but respected family near Vienna. His parents were disciplined, religious and hard-working, passing these attributes on to the six of
SEEKING HAYDN their children who survived childbirth. Before Haydn, classical music was the preserve of the wealthy and privileged, much of it inspired by the church. It was performed in the great homes and palaces of the aristocracy and only the wealthy and the influential were invited. Because of limited space, the music had to be composed for a limited number of musicians. Haydn was engaged by Prince Esterhazy at Eisenstadt to compose music for the guests of the royal family at the palace. He lived in splendour but his musical output was dictated by his master, himself a connoisseur of music. Eventually he decided to move on. The contribution of Haydn, tutor of Mozart and then Beethoven, is immense. As father of the symphony, he made classical music available to the general public. Concert halls were built with
JOSEF HAYDN: He made classical music available to the general public.
stages to accommodate the musicians of an enlarged symphony orchestra and seats for the public. In 1791, sponsored by the impresario Salomon, he took his music from Vienna to London where his greatest sym-
phonies were to take the musical world by storm. His modesty, his generosity and humour endeared him to Londoners and his music was hailed in the concert halls and whistled in the street. When he returned to Vien-
na, world famous, he took care to look after the simple working people of the nearby village of his birth, inviting them regularly to dinner and giving them money. While the oratorios ‘The Creation’ and ‘The Seven last words of Christ’ are the product of his religious convictions, Haydn’s humour is reflected in a number of his compositions. The quiet second movement of the ‘Surprise’ symphony is interrupted by an unexpected loud chord, allegedly to wake up those concertgoers dozing after a heavy dinner. The ‘Farewell’ symphony was a protest against the Prince’s decision to ban the musicians’ families from the Esterhazy palace. Rather than confront the Prince on their behalf, Haydn produced this symphony where, as the finale draws to its close, one by one each musician takes up his instrument and tiptoes out until only two violinists remain. Understanding the message, the Prince relented and sent Haydn and his musicians home for a paid holiday.

TIME OUT
YOUR STARS FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Don't chance your plans being disrupted by ill health. Get any problems sorted out now even if you think they are 'nothing'. When you are feeling good it is easy to take that for granted. Fresh foods and air mean more at the moment than making an extra few pounds.
PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Your mind is positively buzzing with ideas. There has been so much progress in your personal life during the past year that it is hard to believe. However, you are capable of being very dynamic and single-minded. This is why, now, you may be patting yourself on the back. Keep colleagues on your side by taking a particular interest in them.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There are moments of boundless energy which really urge you to 'get up and go'. Make use of this at work, where most progress is to be made this week. Be you a politician, pensioner or anyone in between, the opportunities are there to be had. Slow progress on the love front should not see you fretting. At the moment, your priorities are paramount.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Bring more zip to your life by putting the spotlight on your health. Getting out and about lifts the spirits, while perking up the diet with new foods brightens the system. As energy levels come up this week, be aware of what is happening around you.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) The chance to travel seems exciting but can be made even more so by including a few people who are on your wavelength. So busy have you been on the more mundane aspects of life that the 'big picture' may have faded into the background.
LEO (July 24 - August 23) Keeping up the activity level physically is really in your best interests this week. It is a pivotal point where your resolutions in this area could fail. With life very busy, it is still important to retain your priorities. A promise broken may still be restarted without trauma, just determination is needed.
‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’
VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Does someone in the family need your attention? Don't begrudge time spent with them, even if you are busy. Consider what you would want others to do if you were in the same position.

LOTTERY UK NATIONAL LOTTERY
LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) With your enthusiasm socially at a peak, now is the time to get involved with anything that takes your fancy. A project involving music or painting will give you the chance to make new friends. Children and young people fill your time for a lot of this week and certainly give you a reason to smile.
SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) This week will see more progress on a health issue. Maybe you have recently given up something or taken to the gym. Recent weeks may have conspired to upset your best efforts. It is never too late to make a fresh start, though, especially right now. Someone who gives your confidence a boost also leads you to believe that anything is possible.

An authority figure may also be seen as a possible romantic attachment. Your talents and charm serve you well when approaching this person. Opportunities need approaching with eyes wide open, however, because they could be time-consuming and disruptive.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) The need to plan ahead is frustrating when you know exactly what ought to be going on. Patience is something that you need to cultivate, or you risk upsetting someone close. Spending time with a colleague makes you realise how good things could be, but a lot of effort is involved.

The Splash - Expected to make Waves
Freelance correspondent, London, England LONDON in the 1950s and 1960s was a dull and dark place , the rest of the UK even more so. To visualise the towns and cities is to imagine cleared bomb sites and piles of rubble that were still being cleared. To go from Yorkshire to Los Angeles in 1964 is to leap from dark shadows into the light. Of course the Swinging Sixties were just getting going and by 1968 the Summer of Love had happened, it was all over. London, February 11, 2020 ‘The Splash,’ a painting created by the artist David Hockney will be offered at auction. ‘The Splash’ has come to symbolise for some that sudden 1960s’ transition from the past to the future when the world seemed suddenly young and filled with possibility. Between now and February 11 ‘The Splash’ will go on a world tour visiting Hong Kong, Taipei, New York and then to London where it will be the star of auctioneer Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Sale. The work on offer is the second of three versions of ‘The Splash.’ One, the ‘Bigger Splash’ is in the Tate Collection. Another, the ‘Little Splash’ is in a private

How significant is this painting? “Not only is this a landmark work within David Hockney’s oeuvre, it’s an icon of Pop that defined an era and also gave a visual identity to LA. Even looking beyond the 20th century, few artworks have attained as mythic a status as this painting.
“Equally as recognisable as Munch’s series of screams, Monet’s water lilies or Van Gogh’s flowers, Hockney’s splash is ingrained within our cultural imagination,” so says Emma Baker, Head of Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Sale. David Hockney first visited Los Angles in 1964, on his return to England that year he began work on his first pool painting: ‘Picture of a Hollywood Swim-
ming Pool’ which sold at Sotheby’s New York in November 2019 for US$7.2 million. Hockney relocated from London to Los Angeles in 1966 and between the summers of 1966 and 1967 ‘The Splash’ and many of the other instantly recognisable works of David Hockney were created. ‘The Splash’ embodies much that David Hockney found so appealing and attractive of California. The painting also confirmed his reputation as an international artist whose virtuosity had combined three disparate artistic movements Pop Art, Modernist Abstraction and Minimalism and made the style his own. ‘The Splash’ fixes a moment in time, a fleeting moment, a second after a diver has broken the calm surface of a swimming pool. The painting’s central character is present, yet not present, masked by a splash of water. The work is one of the most celebrated and instantly recognisable works of art of the 20th century. It is also expected to make a splash at auction with an estimate six times what it achieved at auction at Sotheby’s London in 2006. Current estimates lie between £20 million and £30 million.

Spanish weight worries
AT present, 77 per cent of Spaniards have at least one meal away from home every day. Breakfast is the main culprit, as nine out of 10 people who eat it outside do so in a restaurant or bar. The latest lifestyle survey conducted by the Spanish Society of Obesity, throws a light on the country’s eating habits. According to the study, people who eat breakfast away from home increase their risk of obesity by 18.8 per cent. People who suffer with obesity are those who eat out for breakfast the most and generally have dinner at home. People are also more prone to weight problems if they shun vegetables as a main course or a side dish and opt for a sweet dessert instead of fruit. Eating sweet for pudding increases the risk of obesity by 20 per cent. In this regard, it is surprising that 40 per cent of obese people explained that they don’t have fruit because it’s never on restaurant menus. Restaurateurs argue that people go to restaurants to treat themselves, stating this as the reason for not putting an ap-

sector is jointly responsible in the fight against obesity. Offering free water and informing of the calories in each dish are some of the steps that restaurants can take. Half portions are another measure that health experts hope restaurants will implement in the near future. Obesity is a disease that has doubled in Spain in the last 20 years. Doctors explain that this will be a big problem for public health services in the coming years. Social environments are very influential and, in fact, having a family member or friend with obesity increases the risk by 13 per cent. The study also determines that 54.6 per cent of people who are obese do not accept it and refuse to perceive it as a disease. Doctors explain that the misconception translates into one of the most common phrases: ‘I’m not obese, I’m fat.’ Health professionals insist that overweight people who don’t recognise this problem make the medical intervention a lot harder.
Invaluable discovery RESEARCHERS at the University of Alabama have uncovered what could be key information to fully understand Alzheimer’s. According to their investigations the disease is activated by the defective signalling of norepinephrine. It is widely accepted in the scientific community that the disease is triggered by the accumulation of amyloid proteins in the brain. These proteins alter another protein known as tau, which in its altered state is toxic to neurons.
ENLIGHTENING: The study helps understand the mechanics of Alzheimer’s. However, it was unknown what connected the two processes. The new study has revealed that amyloid proteins stop norepinephrine from signalling in brain neurons,
and instead redirect the signal to tau proteins. This signal alters the proteins which in turn begin attacking and killing neurons, subsequently causing Alzheimer’s. The research provides valuable information on the mechanisms underlying the toxicity of amyloid proteins, which also explains the failure of previous clinical trials. Scientists can now use the discovery to design future medications and find a way to block the damaging redirected brain signals.

Baby, it’s cold outside AS temperatures plummet in Spain and with the month of February incoming, the cold is truly upon us. While there are many old wives’ tales surrounding the cold, a lot of popular beliefs can be scientifically proven. People like to say that the body loses heat through the head. In reality, heat can be lost through any part of the body that is exposed to cold, the head usually being one of them. And, although it may not seem like it, the head represents around 10 per cent of the body’s surface and weight. This is the reason why it is important to wear hats on very cold days, especially for people with little hair. Hands and feet can get cold very quickly as they are the most peripheral areas of the body. In low temperatures, our body prioritises pumping blood to the vital organs, leaving our extremities the last to receive warm blood. However, unless a person is exposed to extreme temperatures, this coldness does not negatively affect health or the immune system. A big number of people frequently question if the cold is slimming. In fact, the cold does actually cause the body to burn more calories. When the temperature drops, the body has to generate heat by burning the so called ‘brown fat.’ If we do not replenish that fat, it will result in weight loss. Nonetheless, nature is wise and
it reacts to the change by increasing the feeling of hunger in the cold winter months. If you ever wondered if a thin person is more sensitive to the cold, the answer is yes. Subcutaneous fat acts as an insulator, meaning a person with low body fat will be more exposed to the chill. Women are also more sensitive to low temperatures due to factors such as lower muscle mass than men, a faster metabolism and female hormones. When the temperature drops, women’s blood vessels close faster while in men the mechanism is much slower. This causes women’s skin to feel colder much before men suffer the same feeling. Luckily, our body is very adaptive. Just like other living beings, we can easily get accustomed to our environment in order to survive. The same happens throughout winter and, as winter proCHILLY: Women are more gresses, we besensitive to the cold than men. come less sensitive to the cold.

Reality bites GOBBY Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, 30, whisked her police constable boyfriend Scott Dobinson off for a break to Barcelona for their one-year anniversary this week and the couple looked ver y much in love in social media pictures she shared. Scarlett’s social media diary started when she shared a picture of herself wearing shades indoors and eating a Spanish tortilla in a café tagged on the famous promenade La Rambla. The caption read: ‘New Year’s Resolution: self love! be more spontaneous! travel more!! If you’re wanting to spontaneously travel more.’ She then shared more snaps on her stories including a snap taken at Gaudi’s Casa Batlló and a picture of her kissing Scotty at nearby Park Güell captioned ‘Barcelona, you beautiful place.’ The couple then went to a bar where they downed shots, before continuing to enjoy the traditional Spanish food by tucking into a giant plate of paella, padron peppers and patatas

To end their trip she signed off with another snap of the loved up couple in front of some of Barcelona’s beautiful architecture, Scarlett wrote: ‘One official year of being @scottdobby girlfriend. I can safely say the best year of my life. Lovely little trip to Barcelona (one to tell the kids one day ha!).’

Glowing in Madrid
DENISE RICHARDS got away from it all and carried on with her day job as she attended the Glow and Darkness screening in Madrid last week The star made her first public appearance since it was claimed she stormed off the reality TV show Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after being confronted by castmates amid speculation that she had an affair with her co-star Brandi Glanville. Denise has been backed up by her co-star Camille Grammer, who hit back on Instagram. Commenting underneath a post about the Beverly Hills report, she quipped: ‘It’s not true. Someone is desperate for a diamond.’ Reports suggest that Denise and Brandi were seeing each other for around six months at the start of 2019. The moment is said to be caught on tape when the cast filmed scenes in Rome. Glow and Darkness is a period drama that has put Spanish TV institution, Jose Luis Moreno, back behind the camera. With a star-studded Englishlanguage cast, the series is set in the Middle Ages and revolves around the life of San Francisco de Asís. Writer and poet Alejandro Guillermo Roemmers created the series and co-wrote the first season with Moreno, whose Madrid-based company Dreamlight International Productions co-produces. Unfortunately for Denise, her trip was cut short as she rushed back to Malibu, California to mourn the death of her beloved pet Shih Tzu mix, Louie, who she rescued 10 years ago.

This week Celebrity Chef & Fellow Master Chef Steven Saunders, proprietor of The Little Geranium in La Cala shares a recipe with special memories, perfect for a chilly winters evening.
Beautiful Bourguignon! Steven Saunders FMCGB The Little Geranium La Cala de Mijas & Marbella www.thelittlegeranium.com OF course I shall never forget my first Chef/ Patron job of a charming restaurant called The White Hart in Gt Yeldham, North Essex. It was 1981 (does that make me old?) I hadn’t turned 20 yet when I was asked to run this beautiful old coaching Inn dating back to the1500s. When I saw it for the first time, my heart missed a beat, it was beautiful! It sits proudly just off the A604 on the road to Haverhill. Its Tudor façade is striking and as you drive over a little bridge, there it is standing alone and loaded with history. I was
taken aback by the immaculate landscaped gardens bordered by the River Colne, which flooded in the winter months! There are huge inglenook fireplaces in every room and the aroma of burning wood and the charm of the old beams literally everywhere, it was and still is a breathtaking building. I wrote my first ever menu there and on it I had dishes like, crispy duck salad (now famous as Princess Diana’s favourite) whole roasted duck for two, Lamb Navarin, Beef Wellington and Beef bourguignon with buttery mash. I used to set light to the duck and present it flaming to the guests and then carve it at the table. It was quite modern to have the chef patron be-

ing seen by everyone and serving in the restaurant not just stuck in the kitchen. I was and still am a bit of a showman and I love the entertainment side of the business and even to this day I come out of the kitchen and chat to everyone at the end of every evening service. The menu was printed
and ready to launch and with anxiety and excitement the menus went over to my customers. I peeked through the kitchen door at what I will always remember to be my first ever clients. In the bar that evening I could see (and hear!) the Yeldham family. I had heard about them but not yet met them. They
were the farming royalty around here and can be discerning, I was told! A short while after, we all became great friends and I shared many fond memories with both Ian and Karen Yeldham and still keep in touch via Instagram and Facebook. Back in the restaurant, this couple had just ordered and on the order was my beef bourguignon. My mother used to cook me this classic dish. She had French roots so knew how to make a stew delicious! I can still taste the rich sauce made with gallons of red wine, coupled with the smoky flavour of the bacon when she first made it for me. After the clients were served the bourguignon I enquired about them
and whether they were enjoying their meal. The waitress shrugged her shoulders and said, “I am not sure, they keep moving the food around the plate a lot!” So I put on a tall chef’s hat and went over to table five to see them. Crossing my fingers and toes I asked ”Is everything OK with your bourguignon?” The lady turned and looked at me and said in an American accent, “honey it’s not the bourguignon it’s the last 24 years of marriage!” I often wonder if they stayed together! At the Little Geranium, I serve a miniature saucepan of this delicious bourguignon along side a mini Beef Wellington filled with truffles and wild mushrooms. It is the most divine combination!

herbs, reserve the liquid (wine). Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3 • Roll the beef in the flour with some salt and black pepper, a few pieces at a time so that they are all dusted completely. • Put a large frying pan on a high heat and add the butter and olive oil. When hot, add the beef cubes about six pieces at a time and seal all over. Repeat in batches and then tip them into your large casserole pan when sealed. • Add a little more oil to the pan and then add the chopped onion and crushed garlic and fry over a low heat until soft. Add this to the casserole pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan and any crispy bits to the casserole pan also. • Put the casserole pan on a medium heat, add the wine from the marinade, the brandy and the beef stock.

and bay leaf. Simmer for a few minutes to get it started and cover and now put the casserole in the preheated oven for two hours. • 45 minutes before the casserole is ready put a frying pan on the heat and add a little olive oil. Fry the bacon lardons until crisp and set aside on tissue on a plate. • Now fry the baby onions until coloured and add the mushrooms and the carrots and the celery cook until gently coloured for about one minute. Remove the casserole from the oven and then add all this to the casserole with the bacon lardons and the glass of best red wine. • Return the casserole to the oven for the last 35-45 minutes to allow all the flavours to come together and for the meat to finish cooking. • Remove from the oven and taste the sauce. Add a little honey and stir in. • Serve immediately or cool first then keep in fridge until needed and it will freeze very well • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with creamy mashed potato.

For our riding for the disabled classes, we are also in need of extra helpers. We are nationally registered by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior (164640) but only with your support can we give the equine a voice. If you can just commit to 2 or 3 euros a month it will really help make a difference. You can find us at Lauro Golf Equestrian Centre, Alqueria, Alhaurin de la Torre. Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeon line.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive.
We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clearout, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Pure bred turbo
TOYOTA has announced details of the first extension of its sports car range with the introduction of a new GR Supra with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. Offered in addition to the established 3.0-litre, straightsix turbo unit, this new powerplant will deliver dynamic benefits as well as bringing GR Supra to a wider customer base. The new model is a purebred sports car, with a front engine/rear-wheel drive configuration, compact, two-seater design and dimensions that achieve the ‘golden ratio’ for optimum handling. The 2.0-litre engine widens its market appeal and, being lighter and more compact than the
3.0-litre unit, improves the car’s inertia characteristics and chassis balance for even sharper handling. Production of the new 2.0-litre GR Supra is due to commence shortly, ahead of its global sales launch in March. The new 2.0-litre engine is an in-line, four-cylin-
der unit fitted with a single twin-scroll turbocharger and coupled to an eightspeed ZF automatic transmission. It delivers genuine sports car performance, a rewarding experience for the driver and
enables acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h. The smaller size and re-

duced weight of the new engine bring specific dynamic benefits to the GR Supra. Where the entry-level model is concerned, the car tips the scales 100kg lighter than its 3.0-litre counterpart. And because the en-
gine is more compact, it is positioned closer to the centre of the vehicle, helping secure an ideal 50:50 front-rear weight balance. This contributes to the car’s responsiveness, agility and confidence-inspiring handling. Notably, the new Supra achieves the same ‘golden ratio’ for optimum handling performance, a quality defined by the ratio between the car’s wheelbase and track dimensions. For all GR Supra models, this ratio is 1.55, within the ideal range. At launch, the new 2.0litre GR Supra will be offered in an exclusive, limited edition Fuji Speedway version. This stands out with a unique white metallic paint finish for the bodywork with contrasting 19inch matt back alloy wheels and red door mirror housings. In the cabin, there are carbon fibre dashboard trim inserts and striking red and black Alcantara upholstery. The colour choices evoke those of the official TOYOTA GAZOO Racing livery.

‘ Nothing Like We Remember Him’ FORMULA ONE’S most successful driver has been described as ‘altered and deteriorated’ six years after his tragic skiing accident, in 2013. Leading neurosurgeon Nicola Acciari has warned that Schumacher will be ‘very different’ to what fans around the world remember. The seven-time champion has not been seen in public since the devastating event. Following the brutal fall, the former Ferrari driver was in a long term coma, after suffering severe brain injuries - as his head collided with a rock whilst skiing off-piste in the French Alps. Acciari mentions that Schumacher will have ‘deteriorated organic, muscular and skeletal structure.’ The seven-time world champion has since been cared for at his Lake Geneva mansion by his wife Corinna and their two children Gina-Marie, 22, and Mick, 20. Health updates from the family over the years have been minimal. Former Ferrari Manager, Jean Todt stated that Michael was ‘still fighting’ after visiting him last year. “I’m always careful with such

macher at his home in Switzerland,” said Todt.
“Michael is in the best hands and is well looked after in his
house. He does not give up and keeps fighting.” Acciari has said: “We must imagine a person very different from the one we remember on the track, with a very altered and deteriorated organic, muscular and skeletal structure,” as told to Italian newspaper Contro Copertina. A documentary titled ‘Schumacher’ was schedule for release late last year. However, it was delayed due to producers needing more time to work through sensitive and previously unseen family footage. Schumacher’s family, including wife Corinna, his father Rolf and two children Gina and Mick are all interviewed in the documentary that will feature a significant amount of previously unseen family footage. It is reported that Corinna Schumacher will have the final say on what sensitive family footage is used, after consultation with the rest of the family. Speculation suggests that the documentary could be released in the late stages of 2020.
Liverpool Go 16 Points Clear LIVERPOOL came through a high-octane tussle with old rivals Manchester United to win 2-0 at Anfield and move 16 points clear at the top of the table on Sunday, sparking a chorus of ‘we are going to win the league’ from their now expectant fans. Van Dijk opened the scoring on 14 minutes, leaping above leftback Williams to deliver a thumping header past the Manchester United goalkeeper. Jurgen Klopp’s side, chasing their maiden title in the Premier League era and first in the top flight in 30 years, took a 14thminute lead from a Van Dijk header but had to wait until stoppage time to put the game to bed through a strike from Salah. With a game in hand on second-placed Manchester City, Liverpool’s grip on the title race tightened and while Klopp was not about to echo the euphoric sentiments of the club’s jubilant fans, he was upbeat about his team’s display.
“It’s a big relief, I was really happy with 85-90 per cent of the game, we were brilliant. We dominated the game, especially in the first half. The energy they put on the pitch was incredible,” said the German, whose side have dropped just two points in 22 games. For United, who battled hard but were outclassed in all departments, it was another reminder of just how much work is ahead of them if they are to get back to being in contention for titles. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffered another blow to his hopes of qualifying for the Champions League with the news that his top scorer Rashford was not only out for the trip to Anfield, but could face several weeks on the sidelines with a back injury. United are in fifth place in the league, five points behind fourthplaced Chelsea, and while noone could question the commitment of Solskjaer’s players it is clear he needs some immediate transfer reinforcements. “The players gave us every-
thing. Today we hung on a bit at the start of the second half, but the last 25-30 minutes we pressed them and pushed them back. I’m disappointed with conceding from a corner and with the last kick - but very many positives,” he said. After a promising start from the visitors, Van Dijk put Liverpool ahead with a firm header after he was poorly marked by United, who allowed him to rise and nod in an Alexander-Arnold corner. Firminio thought he had scored a second, but a VAR review ruled that Van Dijk had fouled United keeper De Gae before the ball fell to the Brazilian. Liverpool had the ball in the net again when they slotted home after a clever defence-splitting pass but the goal was ruled narrowly offside. United’s attacking forages were rare but they caused some anxiety for Klopp when Peirea slid in, but could not make contact with a low ball across the face of the goal from Aaron Wan Bissaka.
Yet after the break, Liverpool looked determined to put the outcome beyond doubt. Salah missed a glorious chance from close range just after the interval during an intense period of pressure from the home side, in which Henderson also hit the post. United survived that blitz and clawed their way back into the game and could even have snatched an equaliser but Martial blasted high and wide in the 59th minute. Solskjaer’s side applied some late pressure but were caught on the counter-attack in the final moments when, with all United players forward, Liverpool keeper Alisson Becker launched a long ball for Salah who raced clear before slotting home and settling Anfield’s nerves.
SALAH: Missed a glorious chance.

Dramatic Draw For Ten Man Gunners HECTOR BELLERIN marked his Arsenal return with a dramatic late goal for the 10-man Gunners as they salvaged a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Chelsea. After six weeks out with a hamstring injury, Bellerin - named captain for the game by Mikel Arteta - curled home from 18 yards with three minutes remaining after Cesar Azpilicueta thought he had won the game for the Blues. Chelsea took the lead in the 28th minute when Jorginho slotted home a penalty after David Luiz was shown a red card on his return to Stamford Bridge for bundling over Tammy Abraham in his attempt to bail Shkodran Mustafi out for a loose pass. Arsenal did well to stay in the game and after Gabriel Martinelli cancelled out the opener, Bellerin ensured Chelsea’s jubilation following Azpilicueta’s 84th-minute volley was short-lived. Callum Hudson-Odoi was lively early on and, after his delivery ended with Abraham sending a header too close to Bernd Leno, he hit the crossbar when curling the ball in from the left wing.
The Blues got the goal they deserved when Abraham latched onto Mustafi’s loose pass and rounded Leno before being taken down by David Luiz, with Jorginho coolly slotting the penalty into the bottom-right corner. Arteta reshuffled his pack instead of using a substitute and Chelsea struggled to stay on top. Martinelli punished the Blues in the 63rd minute. He latched onto Mustafi’s headed clearance from a corner, raced from well inside his own half and placed a composed finish be-

yond Kepa Arrizabalaga after N’Golo Kante’s costly slip. Chelsea pushed for a winner late on and thought they had it when Azpilicueta stabbed Hudson-Odoi’s cross past Leno at the near post. However, the Gunners quickly hit back with Bellerin cutting inside Abraham, who appeared to be struggling with an injury after sliding into the hoardings at the other end, and guiding the ball into the bottomleft corner. Substitute Michy Batshuayi had a chance to clinch all three points for Frank Lampard’s men, but he miscued wide to leave the Stamford Bridge crowd deflated. Stamford Bridge used to be a fortress for Chelsea, but they have found it difficult to pick up positive results on home soil this season. A frustrating draw against the Gunners means they have won just two of their past six Premier League home matches. With fellow top-four hopefuls Manchester United and Tottenham the next teams to visit west London they must quickly find a fix.

Team ‘A’ resplendent in their new yellow and blue kits raced into an early lead with goals in the ninth and 12th minutes. Team B settled after this shock, pulling a goal back in the 14th minute with a great shot from ex-Chelsea and England Ladies football team player Sheila Clifford.

Toon Draw with Toffees CHRISTIAN ATSU made his eighth Premier League start of the season as Newcastle United staged a comeback from two goals down to draw 22 at Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday night. It was his second start in three games, but was taken off in the 62nd minute for Emil Krafth. The Toffees had taken a 2-0 lead with goals in either half from Moise Kean and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and just when it seemed it was game over, the Magpies pulled back with a dying minute brace from Florian Lejeune. Atsu’s time on the pitch saw him involved in 22 touches, five accurate passes (71.4 per cent), as well as winning three of six ground duels, one interception and two tackles. The 27-year-old will be hoping to be involved in the action again when Steve Bruce’s men host Oxford United in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
