PAWSITIVE ACTION THIS has been one of the toughest years for the PAWS-PATAS animal shelter, and now a record number of abandoned animals is making it even tougher. The charity’s PR and fundraising coordinator Chrissie Cremore told the Euro Weekly News that adult dogs and cats, puppies and kittens have been left at the shelter gates in numbers the volunteers haven’t seen the like of before. This comes at a time when the outbreak of Covid-19 and the closure of the PAW-PATAS outlets has meant a loss of some €20,000 in takings. The pandemic has also prevented the charity from organising any fundraising events, which has added more major loss financially and in terms of profile. Chrissie believes the health crisis could be a key

factor behind the increase in animal dumping. “Some of the dogs being abandoned are very friendly, and although they are not ‘chipped’ they behave as if they have lived within a family environment. Therefore, the virus appears to have also caused financial problems with keeping a pet.” There have certainly been some sad stories, like the four puppies left in a bucket in the searing heat in a field 100 metres away from the shelter gates, but which luckily survived. On the positive side, there have been a large number of adoptions among locals and the charity had recently been able to rehome and transport to the UK. But Chrissie underlines the point “there is absolutely ‘no room at the inn’,” and what the charity desperately requires are more ani-

PAW S PATAS will provide bedding, food and so on for anyone able to care for a cat or dog for a period of time until the charity can arrange transport to homes in Holland, UK and locally. The charity needs people who know how to look after a cat or dog and are willing to take on this responsibility seriously, Chrissie stresses, but also makes it clear PAWS-PATAS greatly values

‘fosterers’ and does not want to put them off helping, so they ensure that they take back the animal as soon as space permits or someone wishes to adopt.

Fines and Possibly even Jail Time! AS parents and children all over Spain prepare for the return to schools on Monday many are not aware that a refusal to do so can lead to serious consequences like fines and possibly even imprisonment. Millions of students are expected to resume their education in schools and colleges across Spain this week, but many parents have already stated they will definitely NOT be taking their children back - citing fears their kids could catch the coronavirus. A magistrate in the Contentious Chamber of the Higher Court of Justice of Murcia and national spokesperson for Judges and Judges for Democracy, explains that “parents have the obligation to take their children to receive an education. For this reason, those who encourage truancy face jail time, fines and in

the worst of cases, the loss of parental authority.” There is a Penal Code that mentions non-compliance with the obligation to educate children leads to imprisonment of three to six months. The magistrate, Ascensión Martín, compares these events with “when someone does not want their son to have a blood transfusion and a judge agrees that they do,” and says she doesn’t understand parents who “now tear their clothes and say their children cannot go to school when the children have spent the whole summer in the parks, playing with other children.” The magistrate added that education “is better in person - if it were only virtual the situation would be horrible since not everyone has an iPad or the Internet or a parent to explain Chemistry.”

They even participated in friendly matches with no rules and broke boards with different techniques. All that, and much, much more to show that they were worthy of their new belts. Mr Williams (4th Dan), Mr Dewree (2nd Dan) and Ms Linschoten (2nd Dan), granted the belts to Talia Vickery and Thomas De Groot, who were fighting their way

campaign working

A CAMPAIGN to encourage Cuevas del Almanzora residents to shop local and help businesses recover from the Covid-19 crisis appears to be working, according to the local council. The administration said its “#YoComproEnCuevas’ initiative launched by its Trade department when lockdown was lifted has proved very popular with local people. The campaign, part of the ‘Cuevas Cuenta Contigo’ (Cuevas counts on you) support plan for the municipality’s social and economic structure, rewards consumers for buying in the locality with the chance to win a €50 voucher to spend in local establishments in a weekly raffle. By the end of September the council will have given out a total of €6,000 in prizes. The council now has plans to extend the initiative. “Following the success of this campaign we have decided to expand it with a new phase of prizes for October and November, to which we will allocate a total of €3,000 in shop vouchers,” explained Cuevas Trade councillor Melchora Caparros. “The council will continue rewarding our residents’ loyalty to our local shops,” the councillor said. The voucher idea is one of a series of measures Cuevas Council says it has adopted in recent months to “ease as far as possible the crisis the commercial sector is going through as a consequence of this pandemic.” The administration highlighted an allocation of €200,000 in direct assistance aimed at “reducing the difficulties the self-employed have had in maintaining and reactivating their activity.” Residents of Cuevas who work for themselves, who operate in the municipality, who had to close their business under the State of Alarm and whose income is 75 per cent down on the month prior to lockdown, are eligible for up to €400 in help.

The Adra campaign, run through Facebook and Instagram, aims to raise awareness about the correct use of masks by encouraging locals to post a snap of themselves sporting a mask with the hashtag #Adraconmascarilla so it gets to as wide an audience as possible. The council estimates that the initial reach will be somewhere in the region of 70,000 people from being put on the influencers’ and the administrations’ pages.

AIM: The council is seeking to minimise the impact of the crisis and drive economic activity. VERA Council has awarded hundreds of local businesses a cash payout as part of its plans to speed along the bounce-back of the economy from the blow dealt by the pandemic. Mayor Jose Carmelo Jorge Blanco revealed there are 307 beneficiaries from the ‘Vera Impulsa’ subsidy initiative, which makes up part of the Municipal Economic Reactivation and Stimulus Plan. “This represents a cost of €359,000 to the municipal coffers to try and alleviate the consequences of the economic crisis created by Covid-19 and drive economic activity in Vera,” the mayor commented. Treasury councillor Alfonso Perez explained the local authority has allocated payments of €1,000 to 187 businesses which were forced to halt their activities due to the health emergency situation. A further 120 subsidies of €600 are for companies which saw their income plummet by 75 per cent. The council has just processed the first round of payments. Perez said the cash assistance represented “support to the businesses most affected, and which are having a very difficult time in these such complicated moments.”

Smashing recycling challenge HUERCAL-OVERA is showing off 10 new glass recycling containers featuring an exclusive design of the locality, a reward for smashing a recycling challenge. The municipality is one of the winners of the ‘Mapamundi Reto’ (World Map Challenge) to up glass recycling by more than 10 per cent on the previous year. In fact Huercal-Overa recycled 42 per cent more glass in December and January than in the same months the previous year, depositing no less than 33 tonnes in municipal containers. Services councillor Davd Siles congratulated local residents for their recycling efforts and rising to the challenge. “It is in our hands to have a more sustainable municipality and our residents are backing this,” he commented. The campaign to promote more glass recycling was launched by the regional government, the FAMP Andalucia Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, the Almanzora-Levante-Velez rubbish collection consortium and Ecovidrio, the non-profit entity which manages glass recycling in Spain. The glass deposited in the containers is recycled 100 per cent and used to make new glass containers without losing any of its original properties.

Adra Council head Manuel Cortes and Sports councillor Pedro Peña met with the 10-year-old at the town hall to congratulate him on becoming the Spanish national champion in the sub11 Optimist category just shorty after taking the Andalucia Championship title. “It is a great satisfaction for us to receive this young sportsman and to see the effort he makes to achieve his goals,” Cortes commented.

The mayor also praised the Adra sailing club for its tremendous work and the “education and discipline” it instills in youngsters “so they can combine their studies and their daily with life with what is such a demanding sport.” Jose’s successes are made more impressive by the fact he has only been training with the local sailing team for two years. Now the youngster has his sights set on winning the World Championships due to take place between October and November if the pandemic situation allows.

Back to Phase 1

THE cities of Salamanca and Valladolid return to Phase 1 in shock announcement with the new restrictions being put in place today Thursday September 3 despite Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s insistence that he will not put the entire country into a State of Alarm, however more and more regions are utilising the new powers given to them to move backwards to contain outbreaks in their area. From today it will be forbidden for more than 10 people, either in private or in a public place to gather in Salamanca and Valladolid. The local government in the area have justified their decision due to the sharp rise in infections and mortality in the region. Veronica Casado highlighted that there is clear evidence that there is “community transmission” in these areas which needs to be curbed and they have requested

the cooperation of the central Spanish government in their efforts. The new measures, will affect a wide range of interpersonal gatherings with funerals and wakes now only allowing a maximum of 15 people in outdoor spaces or 10 in enclosed. Churches, weddings and other civil celebrations, the maximum allowed capacity will be 50 people outdoors and just 23 indoors, without exceeding one third of the venue’s total capacity. The hospitality sector will also suffer as clientele may not consume inside the premises unless seated at a table. Whether inside or on a terrace, this cannot exceed six people and masks are compulsory. At the time of going to print, with Salamanca and Valladolid returning to Phase 1, it is now concerning for the rest of the country as to which area will be next.

Inspirational Oscar completes mammoth fundraising challenge in record time TRULY inspirational Oscar O’Sheehan, 11, has completed his mammoth fundraising challenge to raise funds to create a sensory garden on the Costa Blanca in record time. The huge-hearted young boy from Denia has walked the final stages of the Camino de Santiago - 300 kilometres - with ever-supportive mum Niamh, raising more than €3,000 for the special facility at the La Xara Occupational and Day Centre. And while the feat was expected to take 15 days, the pair completed it in 12, walking an average of 25kms every day. Niamh told Euro Weekly News: “We got home on Thursday, August 27 and were absolutely shattered. You just keep going when you’re walking, you can’t let it get to you, but as soon as you stop it hits you. “We’re thrilled to have completed the walk in 12 days as there’s a lot of difficult terrain, mountains, rocky roads and dirt paths, as well as towns and vil-

In October 2018 and October 2019 determined Oscar covered 470kms of his incredible challenge. The plan was that in October 2020 Oscar would tackle the final 300-plus kilometres of the camino from Leon to Santiago de Compostela. “However, as we all know, 2020 hasn’t quite gone to plan,” said Niamh. To avoid Oscar missing more school after months of lockdown, it was decided he would walk his final 300km of Camino Santiago through the tricky tracks and trails of Galicia in the very early mornings of August. The idea to create a sensory garden came about after a visit to the Occupational & Day Care

With a budget tighter than ever, practical priorities come first, but Oscar is determined to help - and you can still help too. “We now have to build the sensory garden,” said Niamh. “A lot of thought needs to go into that and we need to have expertise. “If there are any architects who can help, tradespeople, garden centres and building supplies companies who could donate their time or materials, that would be fantastic. “We are hoping the whole process will take about a week.” You can help Oscar realise his dream by donating at www.helpofdenia.com.

Bolstering safety

REINFORCEMENT: Adra Council takes delivery of new resources to protect its coastline. ADRA Council says the six new vehicles it has received under a regional government plan will bolster safety in the municipality, and especially on its coastline. Mayor Manuel Cortes and Junta de Andalucia territorial delegate for Almeria Maribel Sanchez took delivery last week of the four quads, a jet ski and a pick-up truck, as well as lifesaving materials like rescue tubes and rings, at Adra’s San Nicolas beach. The new vehicles “will reinforce safety in summer especially, but also in the rest of the year in the daily work carried out by the Local Police and Civil Protection,” the mayor affirmed.

Sanchez said the Junta’s Safe Beaches Plan meant Adra Council now has “resources it never had before to protect its coasts.” The delegate also pointed out that Adra was the first municipality to gain the Junta’s ‘Andalucia Segura’ distinction for Covid-19 safety regulation compliance. The regional government financed the six vehicles to the tune of more than €80,000. According to Adra Council it is an investment which provides extra equipment at a ‘very necessary’ time, when policing and prevention take on additional relevance due to the health pandemic situation.

Drugs ring smashed GUARDIA CIVIL have smashed an international cannabis trafficking ring operating i n t h re e A n d a l u c i a provinces. Operation ‘Rodillo’ involved officers in Almeria, Malaga and Granada and resulted in 13 arrests on charges of membership of a criminal organisation, breaking and entering, illegal ownership of arms and defrauding the power supply, as well as drug trafficking. The investigation into the gang began in February on the Costa Almeria when Guardia Civil officers in Los Gallardos intercepted a rented vehicle driven by someone dressed like a painter and decorator. Sure enough there were painting materials in the vehicle, but hidden among them were 27 kilos of cannabis buds vacuum packed in

SIEZED: Nine searches led to the discovery of cannabis, firearms and more than €100,000. 54 packages. Investigations revealed the drug originated from Granada and there was a whole, interlinked criminal network dedicated to the international trafficking of the drug, which between September 2019 and February this year alone carried out more than 40 cannabis deliver-

ies. It also emerged the organisation had a faction in Malaga which was responsible for supplying the cannabis through exporter contacts based in Almeria, who in turn stored the drug coming from small suppliers and intermediaries in Granada. The operation involved

nine searches and the seizure of close to 40 kilos of cannabis, precision scales and materials for packing the drug, three firearms, ammunition and more than €100,000. Parallel to the anti-drugs operation the Guardia Civil also uncovered a clandestine cockfighting pit in Granada.

Shock discovery HAVE you had a delve into the settings of your phone over the last few days? Many of us that aren’t so tech-savvy may not keep an eye on such things, therefore you could be in for a big shock. It would appear that a Covid-19 sensor has been secretly inserted into every phone. Don’t believe us? We were as shocked to find out as you are now. It seems that when phone users suffered disruption to their services earlier this week it wasn’t something simple, but a virus tracker was being added to your handset. Now for the proof. If you have an android phone, select ‘Settings’ then go to ‘Google settings’ and see if it is there. If you are an iPhone user, try ‘Settings,’ ‘Privacy’ then ‘Health.’ Users may be pleased to know that although it is al-

ever you go. If at any point you update your phone you will find that the tracker will automatically have been turned on. Users can go back in and turn it on and off whenever they want to. So, what do you think? That was a little bit sneaky, wasn’t it? However, we are sure that some people will be relieved

FRENCH health authorities are worried about an outbreak of coronavirus at a naturist holiday resort with an estimated 100 holidaymakers testing posi­ tive. They have been instructed to wear masks as the infection rate is four times greater than average.

SO embarrassed is the Ugandan Ministry of For­ eign Affairs by the circulation on social media of a zoom meeting that it has recalled its most senior diplomats in Denmark to explain their discussions about misappropriating funds.

PM Jean Castex has announced that face masks must be worn outdoors in Paris as the govern­ ment needs to contain the spread of the latest coronavirus outbreak which appears to affect younger people. Grandparents are advised not to collect children from school.

Political Viewpoint from Spain by DAMON MITCHELL THE Spanish Parliament’s summer recess is over. President Pedro Sanchez has a difficult couple of months in front of him; he will have to deal with the pandemic, national budget, and possible vote of no confidence. The media has spread during the summer recess, worrying Covid-19 figures. The spike in the numbers seems to coincide with the regional governments imposing stricter rules concerning the use of face masks. The government will have to study if face masks provoke a viral load (amount of virus in the blood), which in turn affect the PCR tests which are screened on the general public. No other country in Europe has seen the pandemic figures rocket like the Spanish and most of the European countries have relaxed rules compared to Spain concerning the use of face masks. Meanwhile, the first agenda on the restart has been the

GOVERNMENT: Madrid’s Congreso de los Diputados. new school year, which has left many parents worried, due to the constantly increasing cases which are broadcasted by the news organisations. The key to securing the national budget is for Sanchez to keep together his minority coalition government as the Podemos party has made it very clear to Sanchez’s Party (PSOE) that if

they reach an agreement with Ciudadanos, they will consider in which terms they will back the budget. Moreover, the agreement with Ciudadanos would also anger the separatist Catalan parties who on more than one occasion have warned Mr Sanchez that they are not interested in the governability of Spain.

Before the summer recess, the right-wing party VOX stated in congress that they would try to instigate a vote of no confidence, however, this seems very unlikely to progress. Nevertheless, the PSOE have their attention on the regional community of Madrid where they won the last elections, but fell far from the majority needed to rule. It seems that the good relationship that Ciudadanos and PSOE have had over the last few months could culminate in a possible vote of no confidence against the PP party which governs the community. What could happen next both epidemiologically and economically depends on how Pedro Sanchez deals politically with the upcoming agendas. Sanchez has to try to curb the pandemic, without jeopardising the already battered economy. However, he seems to have washed his hands, leaving the communities to deal with the

problems. And as an example, the magistrate José Mariño didn’t permit the strict restrictions that the Murcia government tried to impose, stating that it was not proportionate that because 0.2 per cent of the population is infected, it doesn’t mean that the rest of the 99.80 per cent of the healthy Murcia people have to be restricted. Moreover, the European Community has bailed out Spain with €140 billion which should help Mr Sanchez secure the national budget. However, Europe has also requested austerity measures which have dwindled the ambitious social agenda that the coalition originally announced. In addition, Mr Sanchez’s constant flirtings with Ciudadanos has also provoked unrest in many of Podemos’ leaders. Therefore, there is no consensus even within the government which leaves Mr Sanchez with many ongoing issues to get to grips with.

FINANCE BUSINESS EXTRA Eurozone negative balance THE European Central Bank (ECB) operates what it calls a Target 2 account in its settlement system which balances transfers between the Central Banks of Eurozone member countries. Strong economies such as Germany and Holland have positive balances with money owed by weaker countries such as Spain and Italy. In fact, those two between them owe about €1 trillion to the other members and this can currently be managed, but a problem will arise if any country wants to leave the Eurozone or it breaks up.

Repsol product AS oil companies prepare for the inevitable phasing out of petrol and diesel, so they are looking for alternatives ways of using their product in a way which significantly reduces harmful emissions. Spanish giant Repsol is to invest €32 million in creating Spain’s first plant able to produce high impact resistance polymers. It will be based in an existing factory in Tarragona and because of its lightness yet strength upon impact, the product is very useful in the automotive industry for bumpers and door panels.

Reduced nuts THE coronavirus effect has hit the price of nuts which is reportedly down by 40 per cent due to the fact that airlines have drastically reduced their purchases as have bars so this should soon see a drop in retail prices.

Lack of Spanish octopus FISHERMEN specialising in catching octopus in Spanish waters have nev­ er had such a poor catch according to representatives of the San Mar­ tiño Fishermen’s Association in Gali­ cia. Speaking to the Spanish press they indicated that this year’s catch is just 10 per cent of what was expected which will push prices up for this

very popular cephalopod. The octopus has a short life­span of just two years and under Spanish law, any caught which weigh less than one kilo must be returned to the water and normally they exceed that weight when they are about one year old. Due to their short life span, a change in water temperature, avail­

able food or other factors can affect their breeding pattern and it may be that they are simply maturing late. For years it was thought that it was not possible to farm octopus, but a breakthrough discovery in 2018 means that it may become a commercial option within the next few years if the wild species contin­ ue to decline.

EU / US tariff reductions agreed

Can they use the pool? I am the president of a community in the Valencian region. Our administra­ tor informs me that a precedent has been set by a judge in this region which ruled that a community can stop debtors and their renters from using the swimming pool if community fees are not paid. Can you con­ firm this? B I (Costa Blanca)

YOU AND THE LAW IN SPAIN The Alicante provincial court ruled in 2016 that a community may prohibit debtors from using the pool by passing an in­ ternal regulation. This decision does not es­ tablish a precedent for other courts to cite. In fact, it goes against the general opinion. The DGRN, which oversees the work of Registries and Notary offices, has ruled that the only pos­ sible way to establish such prohibition is by in­ cluding it in the original charter document of the community. This charter can be amended by a unanimous vote of the members. The debtor has already lost his vote in the AGM but courts have ruled that for such an impor­ tant vote requiring unanimity he may cast his vote. He will probably vote against the prohi­ bition.

SIR RICHARD BRANSON has agreed the Virgin Group will inject £400 million (€440 million) of new cash into a £1.2 billion (€1.3 billion) res­ cue plan to save the Virgin Atlantic Airline. Creditors including share­ holders, banks, aircraft own­ ers and suppliers owed money were faced with a complete collapse of the air­ line by the beginning of Sep­ tember, so they have agreed the new plans. If approved by the High Court in London, the plan should allow Virgin Atlantic 18 months in which to re­ cover.

IMPORT TARIFFS: Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland.

DAVID SEARL

Virgin Atlantic deal

WHILST Boris Johnson caught crabs in Scotland, a joint state­ ment from the European Union and the US government suggest­ ed that the EU had caught a real deal to eliminate certain tariffs in­ cluding those on US shellfish. The statement issued by United States Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and European Union Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan said that they had reached agreement on a package of tariff reductions that will increase mar­ ket access for the EU by €135 mil­ lion ($160 million). Under the agreement, the EU will eliminate tariffs on imports of US live and frozen lobster prod­ ucts. US exports of these products to the EU were over $111 million (€94 million) in 2017. The EU will eliminate these tariffs on a Most Favoured Nation (MFN) basis, retroactive to begin August 1, 2020. The United States in return

will reduce by 50 per cent its tariff rates on some products exported by the EU to include certain pre­ pared meals, certain crystal glass­ ware, surface preparations, pro­ pellant powders, cigarette lighters and lighter parts. “As part of improving EU­US re­ lations, this mutually beneficial agreement will bring positive re­ sults to the economies of both the United States and the European Union. “We intend for this package of tariff reductions to mark just the beginning of a process that will lead to additional agreements that create more free, fair, and reciprocal transatlantic trade,” said Ambassador Lighthizer and Commissioner Hogan. Whilst Britain still tries to ob­ tain its own special deal with the USA, this is the first tariff deal done between the EU and USA in more than 20 years.

Rolls Royce asset sale THE company that manufac­ tures Rolls Royce engines has suffered considerably from the pandemic and the lock­ down and is looking to sell a number of subsidiaries to raise €2.2 billion. Marked for disposal is Span­ ish based engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero and with a €2.19 billion loan due to be repaid by October 2021 it needs cash as quickly as pos­ sible as well as a return to pro­ duction of engines. With 4,000 staff lost so far, it expects to shed a further 5,000 across the group this year.

Carrefour plans takeover THE French Supermarket Group Car­ refour is spending an estimated €78 million to take over 172 Supersol stores in Andalucia and Madrid. It intends to convert them to Ex­ press or Market stores and some will

become rebranded as part of its dis­ count Supeco collection. Many Supersol stores appear to have become ‘tired’ with little inno­ vation or renovation and Carrefour expects to be able to improve sales

and increase footfall as well as intro­ ducing pick up points for online or­ ders. As Spain becomes a more impor­ tant market for Carrefour, this is its first major Spanish acquisition since

it took over 36 Eroski outlets as long ago as 2016. The purchase will have to receive formal approval from the regulators, but it is hoped that the sale will be completed by the end of this year.

Pound gains on euro and US dollar Staying on top of the latest currency news can help you time your transfers more effectively, so find out what you should be looking out for over the next couple of weeks…

ASK THE EXPERT Peter Loveday

Latest currency news Over the last month we’ve seen fairly jittery trading in the currency market as concerns about the tra­ jectory of the global economic re­ covery grow. The pound performed fairly well in August, with the GBP/EUR ex­ change rate advancing from lows of €1.09 to highs of €1.11. GBP/USD has also pushed higher in the last four weeks, with the pair­ ing rallying from $1.28 to $1.32. EUR/USD’s performance has been less consistent, with the euro fluctuating between $1.17 and $1.19. What’s been happening?

CURRENCY MARKET: Concerns over the global economic recovery. Over the course of August the pound managed to advance against several of its rivals despite signifi­ cant hurdles at home and abroad. Renewed Brexit jitters and con­ cerns about an impending UK em­ ployment crisis limited Sterling’s potential for gains, but the cur­ rency still closed out the month higher against both the euro and

the US dollar. While reduced demand for safe­ haven currencies weighed on the US dollar for the first half of the month, with USD hitting a two­year low mid­August, the currency was quick to bounce back. Ongoing concerns about the glob­ al economic outlook and future risks to international growth have driven

investors away from higher­risk cur­ rencies, giving the US dollar room to recover some of its recent losses. Finally, the euro has been losing ground on fears that the resurgence of coronavirus cases in Europe could hamper the Eurozone’s recov­ ery. The negative impact of the resur­ gence was highlighted in August’s preliminary PMIs for the Eurozone, which detailed a stalling in growth. What do you need to look out for? The pound’s uptrend could come to an end in September. The wind­ ing down of the UK’s furlough scheme is expected to trigger a wave of new redundancies and a sharp spike in the unemployment rate. Such an outcome is likely to weigh on demand for GBP. Demand for the pound will also

be undermined if progress in Brexit negotiations remains limited. However, if the coronavirus situa­ tion in Europe deteriorates further (weakening the euro in the process) the GBP/EUR exchange rate’s losses may be limited. Over in the US, political risk will start having more impact on the US dollar in the coming weeks as cam­ paigning ramps up ahead of Novem­ ber’s presidential election.

We are all so bewildered

I DO believe I’m actually losing it. Alright alright. I can hear the cackles of agreement from here! No, usually I am pretty resilient but I’ve recently begun to realise this whole Covid thing is finally getting to me. It’s not that I’m bored. With three radio shows a week, a blurb to churn out, six cats, a dog and a home to run, boredom is undoubtedly not the problem. I also count my blessings that I am easily in touch with family and friends. So why is it suddenly all going so mentally pear shaped? It’s not only me experiencing this reaction, I’ve also noticed an ever increasing number of colleagues and friends, many of whom have been quite positive in the past have been posting their misgivings and doubts on social media. Well obviously the threat to our health, the masking, social distancing, travel restrictions and financial worries are grinding us all down, but it goes far deeper than that. I believe the main reason so many of us are sinking into such a mental state of despair is that we don’t have an end date. It is a

CURRENT NIGHTMARE: When will it all end? proven fact, that many of the mental breakdowns, unrest and violence in our prisons, often have a direct link to the date of a prisoner’s release. Apart from those who will never be freed, offenders never know the actual date of their release until it is determined by either a judge, or a parole board. The result is a kind of limbo existence. A period of uncertainty as to the future, which if it goes on too long

can lead to all kinds of problems, both mental and physical - and we are experiencing exactly the same trauma. ‘Stone walls do not a prison make.’ We are in fact all serving a term with no end date. There is nothing definite in the future to look forward too. If we were told this whole nightmare would be over on say July 6 next year, we would certainly moan and gripe about how long we had to wait, but

at least it would be something definite. We could start to cross the dates off on our calendars. We could begin to make plans. We could count sleeps! As it is we have no idea when, or even how this nightmare will end. Slowly but surely we are being worn down and mentally exhausted by the uncertainty of it all; plus the fact, that with the unprecedented nature of the situation, it is glaringly obvious our leaders are as bewildered as we all are. Is it all a conspiracy? Well, we are borrowing trillions from someone out there. Are these faceless individuals gleefully breaking out the Dom and Coronas, congratulating themselves that their dastardly plot is going even better than they anticipated? What worries me is the person that finally does deliver the planet an ‘end date’ could well be hailed as the new Messiah. Perhaps thats the whole idea.

I’m really worried about the future MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I’M really worried about the future of the economy. Not so much for the multi-billion corporations but for the little guys that we called the ‘mom and pop’ stores back when I was in business. People working from home when they don’t have to be are not helping all the small businesses that exist on their custom. The hair salon, the small cafes and small independents are suffering and many will go bust. A lot of these people will not be able to get any help as they are self-employed and there is nothing in place for them. The black cab drivers in the UK are in a terrible position right now as are Uber and other official cab drivers. Many depend on ‘airport runs’ which are just not there any more. To add to the misery another weapon being used now is the fake reviews. Competitors are now buying fake reviews to damage other peoples’ businesses. Negative reviews can be pretty detrimental to a brand. It can destroy a repu-

tation in a matter of days or hours. It is possible, without a lot of effort via the internet, to find companies that will write fake reviews for a few cents each. I saw recently a small company in the UK that was doing great until a lot of bad reviews popped up online and with a few weeks they were ruined. They somehow managed to trace them all back to individuals working in India and being paid per review. It is illegal to do this in the USA, but I’m not sure if it’s outlawed in the UK. If not, it should be. OK something a little less serious that makes me very grumpy too. Bread is complicated. I don’t like normal sliced bread that has so many chemicals in it that it seems fresh for ages. Then one day you look at it and it’s now kryptonite green glowing in the cupboard. I like one we call five seedy bread that you can buy in a famous Spanish supermarket chain. But it has one major problem. It tapers at each end so you can only get two or three decent size sandwiches then a couple of small ones. The rest is useless and finishes up with two massive thick lumps. Why can’t it be made the same size all the way through? Will be on Talk Radio Europe tomorrow at 11.30am with Bill Padley being grumpy.

DEAR Euro Weekly News, Hi all, a big thank you for the pick-up point at ALGI supermarket on Calle Gibraltar in Calpe. It is great to have our favourite free newspaper back in our area again. We missed it during the lockdown. Online is ok but it is nice to have a paper to hold. Best wishes Dave Stockton Calpe

UK ministers fast-track mass Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan

Seeing sense Dear Euro Weekly News, I am a permanent resident in Mallorca. I would take the vaccine. It’s a matter of common sense really. Some protection is better than no protection. Your article about the vaccine (August 9). The English waiter should be sacked as a potential health hazard to others. Yours sincerely Phil Small

OUR VIEW Better safe than sorry PROTECTING the children of the world surely must be one of the most important things for many people, parent or not, something that makes us control our own habits and ways that we act. After all, as the song says “I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way.” Up until not long ago, news centred on a ‘child’, Greta Thunberg, lecturing us on how we must change our ways to protect future generations from climate change. Now we are faced with the confusion of doing what we are told is the best for our children, masking them, to keep them safe from Covid 19 or not forcing them to be masked and saving them from the psychological stresses and possible longlasting health damage that may occur. Many questions have been asked, from the simplest, how will I get my child to physically keep the mask on? What if they refuse? How can I monitor them keeping it on or keeping it clean? To the more serious, will some kind of stigma evolve from hiding their faces? Will it create problems with important communication as they grow? Is it a distraction from learning? We wish somebody had the answers to both of these sides of questioning. Right now, it is an added fear to the ones we have about keeping ourselves safe. We are forced to wear these masks when the packaging they come in tells us they cannot stop a spread of the virus. But isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? In the UK it is now compulsory for schoolchildren in higher education to wear masks in communal areas, but they do not need to in classrooms. Surely this bit of give and take or compromise is something we can handle for a while? Let’s push forward and make sure our children are the future and Covid becomes a thing of the past.

No bullies Hi Euro Weekly, I am so glad to see that you are actually accepting requests from readers about what news they would like to read. Unfortunately, it is true that bad news sells well and in reading your customers’ comments it is ironic that the ones that receive so many reactions on Facebook are the ones people want to argue about. Anyway, a little debate doesn’t hurt anyone as long as people realise it need not be personal. I do see some people going too far and wish they would just take it easy on each other, it does sometimes creep very close to bullying. I hope you have your best watchdogs at hand to dispose of those overstepping the line. It’s at times like these we should all have each other backs, not snapping at each other’s heels.

Say it loud Dear Euro Weekly News, Well done Leapy, nail on the head. I’m still sick and tired of criminals and thieves telling us how we ‘The all too silent majority’ should behave. Whether it’s mayors of London or other ‘Woke’ politicians and corporations telling us. Simon Briscoe, Dorset

Crafty plan Hola Leapy, The news seems to be full of the difficulties UK holidaymakers will have when they return if they plan to holiday in Spain. So, they are now crowded on to the beaches in the South West and the like and of course spending their holiday money in the UK instead of Spain. It's not rocket science but a crafty plan to boost UK coffers, in my opinion. Stay safe, Shirley Hunt

Famous quote

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” Jim Morrison

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible. However, don’t think of the hard work involved but rather the brilliant outcome. You will be popular.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more. This is good for both your work and social life.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that autumn is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind. At what seems to be an unsettled time, decisions need to be made and worked towards.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There’s no problem with discussing things and talking them through. Keep up your healthy habits because you need lots of energy, especially at the weekend.

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don't like playing the ‘bad guy,’ but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. A meeting at the weekend is both confusing and disarming.

Credit: Twitter

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. Make this a week when you live for the moment and give full rein to your imagination.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled. Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. As someone who values an element of challenge, it is enjoyable to know that unexpected times are ahead.

Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say ‘no’ as and when necessary. Finances are well aspected this week with a new idea proving both worthwhile in terms of your time and profitable.

An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle.

A New York Times bestseller, Glennon Doyle’s book, tells the story of a woman who finally found her true voice. Glennon Doyle is an American author and the creator of the online community Momastery. She is also the founder and president of Together Rising, an all−women−led non-profit organisation supporting women, families and children in crisis. Untamed is a deeply personal story of discovery and finding your true self. It is about how the world’s expectations cage women and how they can break free. Untamed is a great lesson on how to set boundaries, make peace with your body and channel anxiety. This memoir is meant to empower every woman out there. It has a very clear message: find and honour your true self. A book recommended to anyone who is still struggling to show their true colours.

CONSULAR MATTERS IN these troubled times it seems that we live from crisis to crisis. Many citizens have found holiday rentals are a way to increase family income by renting rooms in their own houses; or their second homes, to tourists compared to those who use this possibility to hide a business activity. The abuse by those who act irregularly offering services more typical of a hotel business or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ rather than a private activity of renting rooms in your own home, has led to the need to regulate this ‘activity’ in view of the lack of a special law to resolve this type of situation. The Spanish Treasury took part in the matter and forced the platforms (Airbnb, Vbro, Booking ... etc) to promptly report all the income obtained by the owners as a result of said activity and now it will be the municipalities who

Are holiday rentals being banned? BED & BREAKFAST: Regulations are necessary.

will claim their share, in the form of licences or permits to develop that business activity. The hen that lays the gold-

en eggs of vacation rentals is being encircled, due to the multitude of problems or conflicts that have arisen on some occasions due to the

lack of regulation. The law is behind the reality and despite the fact that after the reform of the law in 2019 that incorporated the possibility that the Communities of Owners can prohibit, limit or condition vacation rentals, the truth is that this measure has not been very successful in requiring large majorities to take the agreement, because in the end it is a limitation to your ability to use your private property within your own home. And now, suddenly, we find ourselves with the surprising news that in Barcelona the renting of a room in your own house to tourists has been prohibited. Indeed, the government of Catalonia has left this possibility in the hands

of each city council and Barcelona has been the first to do so. In this way, for a year, no one else will be able to request a licence to share their home with tourists. And this news has spread like wildfire without perhaps understanding exactly what has actually been prohibited. In any case, the owners of tourist apartments can continue with their rentals if they are already registered. A new rule to try to prevent some property owners take advantage of camouflaging an illegal hotel or ‘Bed & Breakfast’ activity by renting rooms as a private holiday home.

The Definition of Cyberbullying DIONE #SAYNOTOCYBERBULLYING LOCKYER Cyberbullying is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. Harmful bullying behaviour can include posting rumours, threats, sexual remarks, a victims' personal information, or pejorative labels (i.e. hate speech).[2] Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behaviour and an intent to harm.[3] Victims of cyberbullying may experience lower self-esteem, increased suicidal ideation, and a variety of negative emotional responses including being scared, frus-

trated, angry, or depressed.[4] Social media is a part of many peoples lives, and with social media, comes trolls and cyberbullies. Ther statistics show that 77% of students admitted they been bullied within their lifetime, with 44% advising it has happened on the last 30 days. It now appears that it is not only teenagers and children that have become a victim of cyberbullying but grown adults too. A whopping 53% of adults in Europe have confirmed that they have either experienced or witnessed cyberbullying in 2020. But do those who cause others pain understand the im-

pact their words have on others? Should we now make it an illegal offence? Or do we try to educate those that cause the pain? The effects of cyberbullying can sometimes be fatal. The statistics of a study showed that 30% of bullying victims have suicidal thoughts, 10% of those victims have attempted to take their own lives. How do we put a stop to this? The psychology behind cyberbullies is lack of self-worth and attention. It doesn't matter whether it is negative or positive attention, people who take the time to pick holes in others, via an electronic de-

vice are so desperate for attention, they will go to any length to achieve it. Most suffer from a lack of confidence or other negative mindset issues yet are too scared to face them. Many people do not like to admit to their flaws, they see it as a weakness. To change your mindset takes work and commitment, for some that is too hard therefore, the easier option is to point the finger at others in judgement. The fact it, cyberbullying needs to be stopped! One loss of life, it one life too many. We are ALL responsible and can all do our part to

#makeadifference. Be Mindful Before you eagerly comment on a public forum, ask yourself the question. Is this helpful? Is it necessary? is it kind? If the answer is NO to any of these scroll past. You never know the effects your words can have on others. You do not know what they are going through, The last thing you would want, is to know that your words caused someone to take their own life! If you witness it, speak up, but not with anger. Educate those who are causing the pain. By using education, rather than hate, I truly believe we can turn it around.

It’s too Darn Hot GAVIN LAMBE-MURPHY IS it just me, or has August 2020 been the weirdest month? For me, it seems to be dragging along, like a bad break up, that refuses to end. Usually a month when we all wind down, to a pace that is acceptable for the final days of a glorious summer, this year it just feels like the days are longer and without the usual freedom. I wake earlier and sleep earlier, as I am exhausted from the crazy heat. Dare switch the air-con on, and risk a sore throat, which in turn makes us panic, as to the possibility of the dreaded virus. Switch it off and lie in bed thinking if we should take the risk, and get some sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I am very used to summer in Marbella, but this year just feels hotter than before. Getting anywhere further than the pool for a swim is

an effort, and trying to navigate the streets, while wearing a mask has become something of a game for me. I now have my routes through Marbella firmly in my mind, before venturing out. In fact, knowing which streets are shaded, at which time of day, could become a handy tourist map, or even app, if only we had some tourists. On Wednesday, I decided to head to the Old Town for a stroll around, and possibly some lunch. Remember those days when the very idea of over crowded back streets was a no no? God I miss those days. I was beyond saddened to see the almost empty bars, restaurants and stores around Plaza de Los Naranjos. Smiling waiters standing, staring out from their deserted terraces, stores closing a little earlier for siesta, and reopening later, in the hope of any passing trade. Mid-afternoon feels like 8am, and the only people moving around are the Amazon delivery guys, who always appear busy. Having lapped the streets and returned back to where I began, I decid-

COOLING OFF: Sitting in the shade in Marbella Old Town.

ed to stop and get some ice cream. Chatting with the guy at the ice cream parlour, he explained that most days he serves perhaps 10 customers, as opposed to his usual hundreds. He, like so many, fears for the long winter ahead of us. He made me feel guilty, so I bought an extra scoop of pistachio. Who am I kidding? I didn’t feel guilty at all. As I sat on a shaded street, I realised in many ways how fortunate I am. To see the Old Town of Marbella clearly, and without people, it really is a very special place. Steeped in history and filled with the most interesting little shops, selling hand made shoes, art, and perfumes. Yes, August 2020 has been a strange month, but it finally ended, and now we enter autumn. In the words of another fabulous Irishman, Oscar Wilde, ‘and all at once, summer collapsed into fall.’ This summer may have been somewhat uneventful, but it certainly was chilled. So, now let’s hope the temperatures cool off too, and people return to the streets.

MS BIPOLAR UP AND DOWN WITH BALANCE UNEDITED I HAVE suffered from bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder for the last nine years. I am on the road to recovery and learning how to manage my illness and living a fairly normal life. In opening up about my struggles in my weekly articles, I want to show young people that it’s okay not to be okay. I think it is especially hard on young people; they have a perception that they need to be emotionless, strong, brave, cool, and that they need to have their life sorted out at a young age. I think the world needs a real change. Luckily I am still here today to talk about these issues. We are getting to a place where people are able to open up a lot more. But not we’re quite there

HEALTH& Beauty 49

3 - 9 September 2020

Young people should feel free to open up about their Mental Health yet. Young people are affected by this on a daily basis . Yet we still do not have the resources to help people immediately in need. I was lucky enough to have supportive people in my life. A loving family. Lucky enough to still be here today, able to open up about my struggles. Unfortunately, at the time, my demons took over, I lost friends, isolated myself, self harmed, abused alcohol; I was living someone else’s life. A life that wasn’t my own, or should I say someone was living it for me. I began my recovery through medication, therapy sessions with a phycologist, weekly visits with a psychiatrist. A well balanced system that worked for me. I stuck out counselling for almost four years, on and off. It helped me to grow strength and build back up

my confidence. I am in a much better place now. There are still bad days. But they come and go. I am happy - I put on a front. I socialise, I laugh, I smile, I live. But this doesn’t mean I am indestructible. I am vulnerable and still battle EVERY DAY. This is what people need to realise: We do not know what is going on in people’s lives; what’s happening in their minds. For me - it was as simple as a chemical imbalance in the mind. That was all it took to

change my life forever. It completely took over me, changed me. I wish when I was that young, hurting, fearing for my life, I should have spoken about it, about how I was feeling. I wanted a hand to hold but was to scared to ask for help. I realised I needed help a little too late, and this doesn’t have to be the case, we should speak up, nobody has to suffer alone. I want to live in a world where we stop judging, where we stop criticising and tearing each other apart with every little mistake; where everyone who experiences a mental health problem can turn to their family and friends without fear. I promised myself I will fight in every way to help make this possible. Now I want to pass my strength to the people who need that hand to

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

GOOD morning, class. No talking at the back, please. I’d like to begin with another few moans. I did a straw poll among my friends (only the finest of scientific and journalistic methods for this column, folks) about their biggest gripes. Top of the list: M&S and the BBC - and their latest problems. First up, M&S (and its 7,000 job losses) where the only items I buy now are plain, unobtrusive items like tights and, err, knickers. Anything that doesn’t scream ‘M&S’. Their core clothing strength has always been their multiple sizes and lengths (attracting those who want short, medium or long). Something to fit everyone, and good quality items in classic styles that fit the lessthan-perfect figure perfectly and British made, preferably. M&S should stick to those core principles. Not try to please everyone all the time

FEATURE

M&S GETTING THEIR KNICKERS IN A TWIST M&S: How is it going to survive the 21st century?

and frankly not succeeding in pleasing anyone at any time. M&S should be leading the way in producing British-made, non-fast fashion, good quality high street staples. If they cost a bit more, so be it. But they should be worth the price because they are timeless classics.

Currently, they’re making overembellished tat and charging too much for it. No wonder customers are looking elsewhere. As for the BBC, reports that the BBC’s main evening bulletins could be obsolete within a decade as more people turn to their phones and iPlayer for

news comes as no surprise. Slowly damning itself into extinction, the BBC is politically-biased and rapidly losing out to others as regards quality, productivity and general coverage. Much like M&S, the BBC spends too much time chasing

an audience/customer who is not going to go there while taking traditional supporters for granted. Neither organisation has learned its lesson. Result: declining interest in what they have to offer. Unlike the BBC, M&S doesn’t have the cash cow of a compulsory licence fee, however. But one thing’s certain: both institutions need to start thinking long and hard about how they’re simply going to survive in the 21st century...

ROAD TEST by Mark Slack YOU might have heard our law makers have d e c i d e d t h e y d o n ’t want to sniff a trace of petrol in a new car after 2035, when it’s got to be electric power only. So out will go the sort of car you’re looking at now, which combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor and a battery. It’s what we call a mild hybrid and helps the car go a bit further on each gallon as the electric motor gently helps, powered from a battery charged when you lift off the throttle. There’s no cable to plug in and no anxiety that things will grind to a halt if the battery goes flat. Most of the time the petrol engine does the work, but the battery helps enough to push the car’s economy the right side of 5l/100km (50 + mpg) in mixed motoring.

MOTORING

Hyundai Ioniq This encouraging frugality comes from an IONIQ in the least frugal of three possible versions; with a biggerbattery plug-in hybrid and an electric-only version also offered. The plug-in one goes a claimed 39 miles on electricity alone before the petrol engine cuts in, while the all-electric IONIQ claims 194 miles range. You won’t be surprised to learn you’ll pay thousands more for the extra electric ranges though, making the base IONIQ a happy choice for lots of drivers who fancy very decent economy but have shallower pockets. The mild hybrid IONIQ costs from €26,459 (£23,840) and comes with enough kit not to feel meanly equipped, with only lack of satellite navigation a possible downer. It was most certainly present in this car - a range topping Premium SE model

costing €31,121 (£28,040) and the size of its screen and clarity of presentation would shame the systems in many rivals. There’s nothing to complain about the way the IONIQ drives, with smooth automatic gearchanges, light and positive steering and enough performance to comfortably tackle today’s crowded roads. Indeed, knock the gear selector lever into sport and the IONIQ feels positively lively, even if you’re then rather ignoring the reason this fuel saving hybrid was designed in the first place. Other plus points include an interior that looks smart and feels well put together, with a welcome lack of fussy detail. The heated steering wheel makes a friend of the driver on a chilly day and seat heating that extends to the rear impresses back seat drivers.

England Dream Jack Grealish has finally received his England call-up GARETH SOUTHGATE picked the Aston Villa star for the first time after Marcus Rashford and Harry Winks withdrew from the Nations League double header in Iceland and Denmark. The first timer, 24, switched his allegiance from Ireland to England five years ago but had been repeatedly left out of the team by manager Southgate. Grealish said: “I don’t want to be on the outside looking in again. But I know for that to be the case I’ve got to make a good impression. “My plan has always been to just get in that England squad for the first time, then make sure I do enough to stay in there. “Once you are in the squad, it’s up to you to

make sure you either do enough in the training sessions or games.” Grealish, who played for the Republic of Ireland’s junior side, spoke of the England side saying: “Some of the players in the current squad have been around the England camp for many years. “You just expect them to be there - and that has got to be the aim for every player. “I don’t know if I will get the opportunity to show what I can do on the pitch. “But if that doesn’t happen then I’ve got to use every training session to show what I’m capable of and I’m confident of doing so.” Southgate defended his decision not to initially in-

clude Grealish seven days ago. He said: “With Jack, the simple answer is Mason Greenwood. He’s competing against Greenwood, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Raheem Sterling. “I know Villa have played him as an eight, I don’t see him in that role for us. He could play as a 10 but we haven’t played with a 10.” Southgate feared he would lose more players as five had tested positive for coronavirus last week. The squad will fly to Iceland on Friday for Saturday’s game.

GREALISH: Picked for squad.

Top competition TOTTENHAM will need to increase their bid for Barcelona youngster Lucas de Vega if they are to sign the Brazilian this summer. Spurs have made an offer for the 20-year-old, of around £2 million to sign him on a permanent deal. The La Liga side want around £3.6 million up front, with the same amount in add-ons to seal the deal. De Vega has a release clause of £90 million despite never playing for the first team, Barca will reportedly let him go for just over £7 million. Tottenham face tough competition from teams in Spain’s second tier after the central midfielder impressed last season. Barcelona are not actively looking to sell De Vega and are happy to keep him as a potential option for the first team in the coming seasons. Jose Mourinho however, is determined to liven up his squad this summer and could return with a bid closer to the club’s valuDE VEGA: Spurs have ation. made an offer.
