Four arrested afterBrazil nightclub fireA co-owner of thenightclub handed himselfin to police on Mondayafternoon for questioningafter police had detainedanother owner of the club,a member of the bandGurizada Fandangueira,and its security chief.

The country's deadliestfire in five decadesreportedly started after amember of GurizadaFandangueira, which wasperforming at the venue,lit a flare on stage. Localjournalist MarceloGonzatto told reportersthat the flare had "started

a huge and fast fire thatgrew quickly and made avery dark and heavysmoke". "Lots of peoplecouldn't get out and diedmainly because of thesmoke not the fire," hesaid.

Officials are currentlyinvestigating claims thatmany of those who diedwere unable to escape asonly one emergency exitwas available. Most of thedead were students fromthe Federal University ofSanta Maria (UFSM) whowere holding theirfreshers' ball. Witnesses

spoke of scenes of panicafter the fire started, anda stampede as people triedto escape. One told localtelevision: "It was sheerhorror. The emergencyexits did not work." Alarge number of victimswere trapped in the club'stoilets, the witnesses said,possibly after mistakingthem for an exit.

Survivors and policeinspector Marcelo Arigonysaid security guardsbriefly tried to blockpeople from leaving theclub.

Police have arrested four people in connection with the fire at the Kiss nightclub that killed 231 peoplein the southern city of Santa Maria on Sunday.

not having been broughtup in a proper familyatmosphere I am reallypoor at keeping in touchwith my birth family thatwe contacted some yearsago. However, onSaturday I phoned tohave a chat with mycousin, Geraldine, only tofind that she had died lastMay. As I said, lousy atkeeping in touch, but itwas such a shame wehadn’t spoken more. Shewas a sunny little thingwho generally never hada bad word to say aboutanyone and seemed tome to be the “glue” thatheld the family together.Gerry had been just thatbit “unwell” with a varietyof small things coming upbut the doctors could findnothing wrong with her.As a child she had brokenher back and, not thatmany years ago, wentthrough an operationwhich meant that she wasin a plaster cast for sixmonths. Previously shehad been around myheight but, all of asudden my cousin wasinches taller than me –that was weird! Shecollapsed at home andwas found by her muchadored husband Jamesbut just couldn’t be saved.Some time later, Jamesfound letters she hadwritten when she had herback done “just in case”saying what a wonderfullife she had had becauseshe was with him and Ithought, this issomething we should alldo. Any of us could “popour clogs” at any time, nomatter what our ages, sowe should all make surethat those near and dearto us, family and friends,know exactly how muchthey mean to us. do itbefore it’s too late!

Bad news

Bars in Brazil commonlymake customers pay theirwhole tab at the end of anevening before they areallowed to leave.

One of the owners of theclub is reported to haveconfirmed that they werein the process of renewingits licence to operate, andthat its fire safetycertificate had expired lastyear. He is said to havereceived threats on theinternet – as havesurviving members ofGurizada Fandangueira.Its guitarist, RodrigoMartins, told local radio:"It might have happenedbecause of the Sputnik,the machine we use tocreate a luminous effectwith sparks. It's harmless;we never had any troublewith it. When the firestarted, a guard passed usa fire extinguisher. Thesinger tried to use it but itwasn't working."

He said the band's

accordion player had diedin the fire.

The national sense ofloss is profound. Thegovernment declared threedays of national mourningand postponed a ceremonyscheduled for Monday inthe capital, Brasilia, tomark 500 days to the 2014football World Cup. InSanta Maria, 30 days ofmourning were declared.President Dilma Rousseff,

who cut short a visit toChile, has been visitingsurvivors at the city'sCaridade hospital alongwith governmentministers. "It is a tragedyfor all of us," she said.

Authorities released thenames of the victims afterrevising down the deathtoll from 245. More than100 people were treated inhospital, mostly for smokeinhalation.

Four arrested afterBrazil nightclub fire

Devistation after the fire

Dr Eufemiano Fuentesappeared in court inMadrid on Monda, accusedof running one of theworld's largest dopingrings.

In May 2006, policecarried out a series of raidson offices, laboratories andflats in Madrid, Zaragozaand El Escorial as part ofan investigation known asOperation Puerto. Theyfound about 200 bags ofblood or frozen plasmawith labels that werebelieved to be code-namesfor Dr Fuentes's clients –athletes who wereallegedly benefiting from ahighly-sophisticateddoping programme.

Dozens of cyclists wereallegedly implicated in thescandal, including formerTour de France winnerAlberto Contador, who isexpected to give evidence

in the trial. Dr Fuentes,his sister and three formercycling coaches arecharged with breakingpublic health laws. Theycould not be charged withdoping-related crimesbecause Spain had no anti-doping law at the time oftheir arrest. Prosecutorsmust prove that thedefendants' actions put thelives of the athletes at risk– something the defence isexpected to deny.

The trial is expected tolast until mid-March. Iffound guilty, thedefendants could face upto two years in prison anda two-year professionalban. The case comes daysafter former seven-timesTour de France winnerLance Armstrongadmitted to using banneddrugs and blooddoping during his cyclingcareer.

Cyclists' dopingcourt case opens

The Cabinet has approveda draft bill to create asingle market that willallow companies andprofessionals in Spain tooffer their goods andservices across thecountry.

Under the proposedlegislation, a companythat has obtained a licensefrom one of the regionalgovernments to sell goodsthat comply with technicalspecifications can sell

them in the rest of thecountry.

Companies have beenlobbying the governmentto remove obstacles tosetting up new companies,and the Chambers ofCommerce have welcomedthe move. In a statement,they said: “This will serveto re-launch the trade,industrial and productivefabric in Spain andincrease competition.”The Chambers said there

are currently more than100,000 rules andregulations relating tobusiness activities in thecountry, two thirds ofwhich have been issued bythe regions.

When she announcedthe development, DeputyPrime Minister SorayaSáenz de Santamaría saidthe cost savings entailedcould add €1.5 billion tothe GDP over the nextdecade.

Single market createdPrime Minister MarianoRajoy told reportersduring an official visit toSantiago, Chile, lastFriday that thegovernment will extend asubsidy scheme toencourage people to scraptheir old vehicles for new,more efficient ones.

Rajoy said the movewould help to extensivelyrenew the pool of motorvehicles. “It has alsoserved to save many jobsin the automotive sector,”Rajoy said. The first so-called PIVE plan, whichexpired this month, hadfunding of €75 million for

people scrapping vehiclesover 12 years old for moreenvironmentally friendlyones. It took some 75,000old vehicles off the roads.This time, the programmehas been allocated €150million, which shouldcover about 150,000vehicles.

The NationalAssociation of Automobileand Truck Manufacturers(Anfac), estimated the firstPIVE had increased carsales by some 25,000units, boosted taxrevenues by €296 millionand helped save 4,500 jobsin the sector.

Unemployment affectedjust over 26 per cent of theworking population at theend of last year, while therate for workers under 25years was 55 per cent. SraBáñez said one of themeasures would be to cutthe social securitycontributions of peopleunder 30 registering asself-employed to €50 amonth for six months.

The lowest amountnormally paid is about€250 a month. After that,they will receive a 30 percent discount for a furthertwo years. She describedthe measure as "laying outthe red carpet forenterprising people,” andsaid it would be submitted

for the Cabinet's approvalsoon. Speaking toreporters before theEuropean Trade UnionConfederation (ETUC)summit held in Madrid onMonday to celebrate its40th anniversary, theEuropean Unioncommissioner for economicaffairs, Olli Rehn, said hewas very concerned aboutthe increase inunemployment in Spain,and especially the high

number of young peoplewithout a job.

European Parliamentpresident Martin Schulz,who also attended theETUC meeting, saidlowering social securitycontributions of the self-employed was fine,provided it was linked to a“binding commitment” tocreate jobs for youngpeople.

Survivors of the italian air force's bombardment of the city in 1938 havepersuaded a barcelona court to treat it as a war crime. The Catalan capitalwas one of the first major cities in the world to be subjected to a campaignof aerial bombardment, as mussolini broke non-intervention treaties tosupport General Francisco Franco's rebels in the Spanish civil war. The useof attacks from the air was designed to provoke panic, kill civilians anddestroy morale. Within a few years, the technique would spread throughwar-torn Europe as cities such as Coventry, Hamburg and dresden weresubjected to blanket bombing. mussolini's troops allegedly also committedatrocities in Libya and Ethiopia, and later in Slovenia and Greece, but onlyone public apology has ever been given – in 2011 Silvio berlusconi apologisedto his friend in Libya, Colonel muammar Gaddafi, and offered compensation.

El Pais withdrew a photo showing a man in hospital with a tube in his mouthwhich it had printed on the front page over the headline: "the secret ofChavez's illness" after it discovered the photo was a fake. Copies of LastThursday's first edition were also collected from news-stands in the capital.The photo had stayed on El Pais's website for around half an hour. The papersaid in a statement that it had obtained the image from a news agency butthat it had not been able to independently verify the date, location orcircumstances of the photo. The paper has now opened an investigation into"the mistakes that may have been committed in the verification of thephotograph". The Venezuelan government called the photo "grotesque". mrChavez has not been seen in public since undergoing treatment for cancer inCuba on december 11th.

Just over 80 per cent ofpeople questioned in arecent survey for LaRazon newspaper to markCrown Prince Felipe's45th birthday on January30th said he was the bestperson to succeed hisfather and wouldrepresent the country"with dignity". Justunder 10 per centdisagreed. As regards thePrince's relationship withthe public, three quarters

said he was "close to thepeople". Nearly 80 percent approved of hismarriage to Letizia, aformer journalist and adivorcee, and consider thePrince acted correctlywhen he married aSpaniard and not aforeigner.

The Prince has beenstanding in for King JuanCarlos at many publicceremonies in recent

months when the latterhas been unable to carryout his duties for healthreasons.

Most Spanishnewspapers splashed theabdication of QueenBeatrix of theNetherlands on theirfront pages on Tuesdaypress, as if to hint that asimilar announcement inSpain would not beinappropriate.

However Queen Sofiahas dismissed thepossibility of abdication inthe past, saying that"Kings do not abdicate,they rule to the end."

The Royal Household hasremoved all references toIñaki Urdangarin, theking’s son-in-law, from itsofficial website.

The section onwww.casareal.es featuringthe Duke of Palma, thehusband of the InfantaCristina, disappearedovernight last Saturday –two days after a direct

attack on the monarchy byUrdangarin’s formerbusiness associate DiegoTorres, who also facescharges ofmisappropriation of publicfunds while in charge ofNóos Institute, allegedly anon-profit-making body.

Torres revealed emailsthat he says prove that

Carlos García Revenga,the private secretary toInfanta Elena and InfantaCristina knew about Nóos’real activities while actingas the institute’streasurer.

Prosecutors allege thatUrdangarin funnelledsome €2.3 million from theBalearics regional

government and €3.7million from the Valenciaregional government intohis private businesses,including a real estatecompany he operated withhis wife.

The money had beenallocated to the Instituteto organise sports andtourism conferences.

More than 2% of Portugal's population – some 240,000 people– have emigrated in the past two years, since the countryentered the worst recession in decades, according to JoseCesario, the secretary of state for emigrant communities. Mostwere young, highly-educated people fleeing to Switzerland –where Portuguese now constitute the largest foreigncommunity – or the oil-rich former Portuguese colony Angola.

Mr Cesario said the numbers heading for Mozambique werealso growing fast, while many Portuguese were still striking outfor countries closer to home such as germany, the Netherlandsand the UK. He added that only Europe's economic slowdownand the high level of unemployment in other EU nations hadkept overall emigration from being far higher.

Prison minister Iris Varela has announced the closure ofUribana jail in Barquisimeto where more than 60 people diedin a riot last Friday. The riot started after soldiers entered theprison to search inmates for weapons after reports that rivalgangs were preparing for a fight. Ms Varela did not say howmany prisoners had died in the riot, but local hospital staff saidthere were 61 bodies in the morgue and that around 120 hadbeen injured. Vice-President Nicolas Maduro said there wouldbe a thorough investigation into the riot. Uribana prison wasamong the most dangerous in the country and suffered fromovercrowding. According to the non-governmental VenezuelanPrisons Observatory (VPO), in 2012 more than 50,000 inmateswere housed in prisons built to hold 14,000.

TOTTENHAM

The magic of the FA Cup hasan odd effect on some peopleand Leeds United managerNeil Warnock told journalistshe was going to celebrate hisside’s giant killing win overTottenham with a bag ofcrisps. Tottenham fielded astrong side but Warnock’suseful championship sidewent 2-0 up through LukeVarney and Ross McCormackto leave the LondonPremiership side chasing thegame. Spurs got one backthrough a Clint Dempseyheader from a Gareth Balecross but it was not enough tokeep Warnock from his bag ofcrisps and a place in the fifthround of the competition.

Prince Harryreturns fromthe war zoneThe royal family has neverbeen more popular inBritain and concern overthe military connectionsthe royals have isunderstandable.

Prince Harry recentlyleft Afghanistan at the endof a four-month tour ofduty as an Apachehelicopter pilot, with anumber of nationalnewspapers carrying thestory about the third inline to the throne on theirfront pages.

As a co-pilot gunner heconfirmed he could havebeen responsible for thedeaths of insurgentsraising fears that he couldbe a high-profile target fora revenge attack.

The 28-year-old prince

and many other youngroyals before him havealways stated quite plainlythat they want to do theirduty and do not expectspecial treatment.

Prince Harry waspulled out of Afghanistanwhen news of hisdeployment was leaked in2008 and he wasconsidered a risk to hisfellow soldiers. But hewanted to return to thefront line and retrained asan Apache pilot in order todo so.

What they say onBritain and EuropeI have been offshoremyself recently and it hasbeen interesting to listento views on Britain’sfuture role in Europe.

The debate has followedPrime Minister DavidCameron’s announcementthat people in Britain willbe given the opportunity to

have a say on the issueand whether to stay or go.

Most observers thinkthat Britain was right notto adopt the euro and thebig problem withEuropean union is that‘one size fits all’ simplydoes not work, makinglegislation difficult.

Cultural differencesand the need for a nationalidentity are much moretangible than was at firstthought, and while theprinciple of a commonmarket has broad appeal,the shambles in Greecehas shown what can gowrong in a worst casescenario.

Shops still decliningThe number of shops fellby almost 600 last montheven before the recentcollapse of a raft of HighStreet names, according tonew research. Despite thegrim statistic, employmentin the retail sector rose by0.6% in the final quarter of2012 compared with ayear earlier, drivenentirely by part-timeworkers, the study found.

Half of the firmsquestioned by the BritishRetail Consortium (BRC)said they planned to cutstaffing levels in the nextfew months, with only 4%expecting to create jobs.

The survey, covering1.3 million workers at 25major retailers, showedthat Christmas was not adisaster for traders, butstaffing levels were kept"modest". HelenDickinson, directorgeneral of the BRC, said:"The fact that totalemployment edged upduring this quarter, drivenby part-time workers, is ashaft of light against anotherwise challengingbackdrop. It shows that,despite relentlessly toughtimes, retailers arecontinuing to invest inpeople and support jobcreation as much as theycan. But the record drop instore numbers is starkevidence that thisinvestment should not betaken for granted. We'reby no means out of thewoods yet, and given theadministrations of recentweeks, the next quarter'sfigures are likely to makedifficult reading."

The reduction in thenumber of stores – 573 inDecember compared with

a year earlier – was thehighest since the BRCstarted monitoring thesituation four years ago.

Christina Tolvas-Vincent, of business lawfirm Bond Pearce, whichhelped with the report,added: "After a lacklustreChristmas, the New Yearhas started badly forretailers. Well publicisedfailures such as HMV,Jessops and Blockbustershave yet again placed thespotlight on the strugglinghigh street. This will havean even greater impact onstore numbers that arealready falling at thefastest rate for over fouryears."

A Department forCommunities and LocalGovernment spokesmansaid: "High streets arefacing challenges such asthe rise of internetshopping, which is whythe Government is offeringpractical support. That'swhy we've doubled theamount of small businessrate relief and extended itfor a year to help up to halfa million new and smallershops. For buddingentrepreneurs, we'reproviding over £80 millionof start-up loans for youngpeople starting their ownbusinesses."

Gangs now smugglingpeople OUT of the UK!Criminal gangs aresmuggling illegalimmigrants out of Britainfor up to £1,500 perperson, an undercoverinvestigation has revealed.

A secret travel network,which operates up to threetimes a week, shipsforeign nationals abroadunder the nose ofimmigration officials, theBBC Panorama probefound.

Some of those who usethe service have livedillegally in the UK foryears and want to move on

in the hope of findingopportunities elsewhere inEurope, while others arecriminals on the run fromBritish authorities.

During the course of ayear, Panorama madecontact with three suchcriminal gangs, all offeringto smuggle illegalimmigrants out of thecountry with no questionsasked.

In one case, reporterPaul Kenyon met with afixer as he posed as anillegal immigrant fromMoldova who wanted to

return home to his sickwife. The fixer, a formerIndian police officer called"Munga", explained thatfor a charge of £1,500 perperson, the gang wouldsmuggle groups of three orfour illegal immigrantsacross the Channel in theback of a lorry to Calaistrain station.

It is thought as many ashalf a million migrants arehiding from theauthorities in Britain –the equivalent to a city thesize of Sheffield.

Brits warned to get out of BenghaziThe Foreign Office urgedBritons to leave theLibyan city of Benghazion Friday in response to a"specific and imminentthreat" againstWesterners.

The FCO has beenadvising against travel tomost of the country sincelast September, but hasnow stepped up itswarning.

A spokesman said: "Weare now aware of a specific

and imminent threat toWesterners in Benghazi,and urge any Britishnationals who remainthere against our advice toleave immediately. Wehave updated our traveladvice to reflect this. TheBritish Embassy in Tripolihas been in contact withBritish nationals for whomwe have contact details toalert them to the advice."

Sky News foreignaffairs editor TimMarshall said: "As Iunderstand it there aresomewhere between oneand two dozen Britons inBenghazi. This is not to dowith the oil fields. This isto do with the city ofBenghazi and itsimmediate surroundingsitself. I believe all of theBritons have been told ofthis credible threat tothem. Benghazi airport isworking, so they have achoice to go or not."

The threat againstWesterners comes one dayafter US Secretary of StateHillary Clinton respondedfiercely to a review of

security at US diplomaticmissions.

The review followed anattack on the US missionin Benghazi in Septemberlast year which killedAmbassador ChrisStevens and three otherAmericans.

In her last formalcongressional testimonyon Capitol Hill asAmerica's top diplomat,Mrs Clinton took fullresponsibility for thedepartment's mistakesleading up to the attack."Nobody is morecommitted to getting thisright. I am determined toleave the StateDepartment and ourcountry safer, stronger,and more secure," shesaid.

On another note, it wasannounced yesterday,Tuesday, that troops fromthe UK will be joining aninternational force goinginto Mali to train Maliantroops in an attempt tostem the conflict in thatregion.

Baby in stolen car is safeA thief drove off with aseven-week-old baby in acar after stealing thevehicle as the father stoodnearby talking to a friend.

The 24-year-old dad,who had briefly left theengine running, suddenlybecame aware thatsomeone had sneaked inthe driver's-side door andwas driving off with littleLeo on the back seat. Hetried to open the

passenger door shoutingthat his baby son was inthe back but the thiefdrove on. It was a frantic15 minutes before thechild was found safe andwell in the car, which hadbeen left close to a pub.

Police are nowappealing for witnesses tothe drama – whichhappened in Moor Road inOrrell, Wigan on Tuesday– to contact them.

Detective ConstableBrendan Greally, fromWigan CID, said: "We canonly imagine the distressthat the parents of thisyoung baby must havegone through after theirson was taken from themin this manner.Thankfully, theirnightmare was only short-lived after the baby wasfound safe and well insidethe vehicle around 15minutes later."

Police were informedthat the baby had been leftin the abandoned blueSubaru Impreza on MaineStreet, Billinge, by ananonymous caller –presumed to be the thiefhimself.

The thief is described asa white man in his 20s,wearing a dark-colouredhat, a dark hooded top andlighter-coloured trousersor tracksuit bottoms.

Fortunately for him andthe rest of the actorsinvolved in trying topretend it was the middleof summer along thePromenade, thetemperature had risen toaround 20 degrees bymidday so they didn'tfreeze to death in theirshorts, T-shirts and flip

flops – which could havebeen the case earlier!

However, it was quite aconfusing morning forpassers-by eager to get aglimpse of the celebratedfootballer through thetight security cordonsurrounding the shoot –because more often thannot the figure in thespotlight was his doublestanding in while the filmcrew rehearsed for the realshoot.

David himself finallyappeared around 1 pm,and it took only half anhour to get the ad in thecan. He then headed backto a nearby hotel tochange and disappeared.Beckham and his familyreturned to the UK only afew weeks ago and theMarbella authorities hopethey will visit the townoften in the future, torecapture some of thesunshine they left behindin California.

Memo fromMadridMartin DelfínWrites for the English language version of

The LocalVoice

Muriel Pilkington

Iwas appalled to discover last weekthat one of the country's mostreputable newspapers, El Pais, had

published a photograph of VenezuelanPresident Hugo Chávez lying in aCuban hospital bed with a life-supporttube in his mouth on the front page –only to realise about 3 am that it was afake. Fortunately, most of the copiesfor regions outside Madrid were stillsitting on planes at Barajas airportand were easily retrieved. Getting thepaper back from kiosks around thecapital took more time and no doubtquite a few people are waiting to seehow much they can ask for the copiesthey managed to keep once the furstops flying.

How the newspaper managed tocommit such a tremendousgaffe still has to be explained in

a satisfactory manner. Apparentlythree of the paper's top editors decidedto publish the photo – supplied by theGtres Online agency – over a briefcaption explaining that the newspapercould not verify its authenticity. Yetapparently the photo had been floatingaround on Facebook for a couple ofweeks, something any member of theirstaff could have told them if they'dbothered to ask. However, they seemedto be under the impression that theyhad a tremendous scoop on theirhands, and to add salt to the wound,they apparently paid €15,000 for thephoto.

El Pais was founded 35 years agoand quickly carved out areputation as being the

country's best daily paper. InVenezuela and other Latin Americancountries it was spoken of withreverence. But that reputation startedto bite the dust after the Socialists wonthe 2004 general election. It soonbecame obvious to the discerningreader that the Socialist governmentwas not be attacked or criticised underany circumstances, which is why Istarted reading El Mundo, ABC and LaRazon to get a more rounded view ofwhat was going on. A lot of otherpeople seemed to have done the same– all three newspapers, especially ElMundo, gained readers, although ElPais continued to lead the field andstill does.

The explanation offered at lengthin El Pais on Monday fails toconvince. The editors involved

seem to have been aware from the verybeginning that the photo could havebeen a fake. The Gtres agency refusedto give them the name of the source,saying it was a nurse at the hospital inCuba who was putting her life on theline. The agency claimed she had sentit to her sister who lives here in Spain,who in turn had passed it on.

Needless to say, I have instructedthe young lady who lays outthis page NOT to print the

photograph, which is still floatingaround out there. The Venezuelangovernment is threatening to sue ElPais and we don't want to becomeNumber Two on their hit list. Mindyou, nobody in the Venezuelangovernment seems to read my columnotherwise I might have been dead meata long time ago. So let's keep it thatway. It's easy to make a mistake,which is why most newspaper storiespass through a series of editors,subeditors and proofreaders, the"filters" who usually catch them.However, I remember "beautifying"Sister Theresa on the front page of TheTown Crier and nobody at the paperspotted it. Not many readers spotted iteither if the lack of letters wasanything to go by. As we were taughtin the good old days at the BBC –check, check, check again and thenagain. It saves you a lot of trouble.

Past his due date

As much as I love and admireKing Juan Carlos, I'm hopingQueen Beatrix's abdication will

give him pause for thought. TheSpanish Royal family can't sayabdication is not a tradition here as itis in Holland – Juan Carlos'sgrandfather Alfonso XIII left thecountry voluntarily in 1931 to avoidthe Second Republic abolishing themonarchy. And we won't even mentionthe kings and queens who were sentinto exile or otherwise disposed of.

I've been worried about the king'shealth for some time now and thelittle episode involving elephant

hunting last year did a lot to tarnishhis image, more because of thepresence of a German princess than adead elephant. But we won't go intothat!

However, inthe wingswe have a

handsome, stillyoung CrownPrince (just turned45), who hateshunting andbullfights andwhose marriage toan attractive,highly intelligent commoner seems tobe as solid as a rock, with not a whiffof an extra-marital affair. The latestpoll shows that more than 80 per centof Spaniards appreciate him – a far cryfrom the times when the acceptedwisdom was that Juan Carlos would bea one-off king. I think it's time to strikewhile the iron is hot – this countryneeds a stable, popular monarchy tooffset the havoc the Loonie Left seemsbent on wreaking.

Houses of scandalPutting one's foot in it big

There they were, Crown PrinceFelipe and the former SpanishOlympic handball champion

Iñaki Urdangarin at Sunday’s worldhandball championship in Barcelonawhere Spain beat Denmark 35 to 19,racking up another global title to makeus all feel a bit better – albeittemporarily – as we continue to swimour way out of the economic doldrums.The future king and his brother-in-lawwere not on speaking terms, or itappeared that way in front of thecameras. Urdangarin didn't sit in thespecial honours box with the futureking (see pictures below). Just lessthan 24 hours before the RoyalHousehold announced that thescandal-plagued king’s son-in-lawwould no longer be listed among thefamily members on the Zarzuelapalace website. More trouble reignsover the family as Urdangarin awaitshis next day in court, scheduled forFebruary 23rd, when he will have toanswer all the latest allegations thathave popped up since he first testifiedin the so-called Nóos inquiry lastsummer.

Prosecutors are asking a BalearicIslands court judge to charge thehusband of the Infanta Cristina

with public fraud and embezzlementstemming from an alleged scheme inwhich some €2.3 million of publicmoney was diverted from the regionalgovernment and went to his privatebusinesses by way of the non-profitNóos Institute. His former partner,Diego Torres, now his bitter enemy,has been releasing barrages of emailsthat purportedly suggest members ofthe royal family, including King JuanCarlos, were privy to Urdangarin’sactions for quite some time. Asreported this week, the monarch mayhave known as early as 2005 that anti-corruption prosecutors were lookinginto Urdangarin’s business practices.The 45-year-old Duke of Palma hasdenied any wrongdoing. He blamesTorres for any irregularities that havemight taken place at Nóos but hisformer partner isn't going downwithout a fight. Torres is also thetarget of the inquiry as are severalothers who worked at Nóos.

It is alleged that the king told hisson-in-law to get out of thebusiness some time in 2006 when

he got wind of the inquiry. But despitethis, investigators say that the formerOlympic sportsman may havecontinued conducting his affairsbehind the monarch’s back. The batchof emails turned over to the court raisemany interesting questions, and willno doubt be part of Judge José Castro'sinterrogation later in February whenUrdangarin has been subpoenaed toappear. Interestingly, it comes on thesame day as the 32nd anniversary ofthe 1981 attempted coup against hisfather-in-law.

The Royal Household no doubt isin disarray. Instead of stickingtogether, the residents of

Zarzuela palace want to disconnectthemselves from Urdangarin – even ifit means removing his name from awebsite – as if the problem will goaway; never mind that he is stillthe Infanta Cristina's legitimatehusband.

On Monday, we saw theannouncement of QueenBeatrix’s abdication in favour of

her eldest son Willem-Alexander. TheHouse of Orange was also tainted inscandal in the 1970s when her fatherPrince Bernhard was accused ofreceiving $1.1 million in bribes in theinfamous Lockheed bribery scandalthat involved political figures inseveral nations. Queen Julianathreatened to abdicate if her husbandwas prosecuted. More controversyarose when it was discovered thatBeatrix’s late husband Prince Claushad been a member of the HitlerYouth. But that too was forgotten andhe later became a popular member ofthe Dutch Royal Family until his deathin 2002.

Now more dirt will be kicked upin the coming weeks whenaccounts will again be brought

to light about the new queen’s fatherand his role during the last militarydictatorship in Argentina. JorgeZorreguieta served as agricultureminister under former dictator JorgeVidela, who was responsible forinitiating the Dirty War in the 1970sin which as many as 30,000 peopledied or disappeared. Again, we have aninstance where the Royals will try tokeep the grime from visibly creepingup to the surface. MáximaZorreguieta’s parents won’t be“allowed” to attend her husband’sinvestiture on April 30th. Instead, theywill reportedly watch the ceremonieson television from London. If theHouse of Orange has survived manygruelling scandals within the past 40years, it unlikely that the House ofBorbón will collapse over a few millioneuros that Urdangarin may havepocketed.

NEW REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FORASSETS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF SPAIN part 1What’s it all about?First of all let’s talk aboutwhat the new law (Model720) is and why it has beenintroduced. The SpanishGovernment has launcheda new anti fraud plan toprevent tax evasion. Muchhas been written aboutSpanish politicians beinguncovered who have assetsoverseas.

Although aimed atdiscovering assets boughtby Spanish nationals withirregular money, it mayalso affect expats living inSpain who are titleholdersof assets abroad.

The law is to catchSpanish nationals, theexpats are merebystanders. However, it isimportant as expats thatwe don’t ‘bury our heads inthe sand’ in the hope thatit won’t affect us.

At Speed FinancialSolutions we often comeacross expats living inSpain who still deemthemselves to be UK taxresident. Very often, the

underlying reason behindthis is fear of the unknown.In fact, once our clientsunderstand how tonavigate the Spanishsystem (with ourassistance) they realisethat they can in fact takeadvantage of the taxbreaks available to themas residents of Spain.

What is very importantto remember, is that taxresidency is usually basedon the time we spend eachyear in a particularcountry, and that the onusis on individuals to be ableto prove to the authoritiesshould they investigate,that they do not in factreside in Spain.

The reality is that inmost cases, it would bevery difficult todemonstrate this to theSpanish Authorities and somost expats would be‘deemed’ Spanish taxresident by the authorities,particularly I imagine, if itwere to prove morebeneficial to theauthorities in terms ofrevenue!

Who has to report?Any person, permanent

establishment or companywho is tax resident inSpain and is the owner,titleholder, representative,authorised person,beneficiary, or hasdisposal powers of theassets located outside ofSpain worth more than€50,000 must report thevalue of these assets(converted to Euros whenheld in other currencies)as at 31st December 2012,or the year declared forfuture tax years.

When?

Between 1st Januaryand 31st March of thefollowing tax year onwhich information issubmitted.

However, according tothe draft of the new Model720, information for year2012 will be submittedduring March and April of2013.

‘Informative

statement of assets

and rights located

abroad’

We need to rememberthat this is an ‘informationreturn’ designed to putworldwide assets on theradar and does notnecessarily have to becompleted every year. Itshould be completed inany particular tax yearonly if:

• there are new assetsor rights that have notpreviously been reported.

• the values of assets orrights already reportedhave increased,

• in certain cases inwhich ownership in thoseassets or rights isrelinquished.

Which assets must

be reported?There are various

descriptions of exactly

what must be reported,but they can becategorised broadly underthe following headings:

•Bank/Building Societyaccounts located outside ofSpain (if you have anumber of accounts thatare each under €50,000,but together they totalmore than €50,000 theymust ALL be reported.

•Any values, assets,securities or rightsrepresenting capital,equity or assets of all typesof entities, or the transferto third parties of capitalwhich is held or depositedor located abroad. Thisincludes fiduciaryagreements and trusts.(where the total valueexceeds €50,000).

•Life or disabilityinsurance in which thetaxpayer is thepolicyholder. Thisincludes Life AssuranceBonds (Surrender value ofthe Bond). Life Assurancethat only covers the risk ofdeath and cannot berecovered does not need to

be declared. Please note,the surrender value of aLife Assurance Bondshould also be reported onyour Annual Wealth TaxReturn.

•Annuities ortemporary rents in whichthe taxpayer is abeneficiary, contractedwith entities establishedabroad (capitalisationvalue of the rent).

•Real estate andproperty rights of theholder located abroad,worth more than €50,000(including timesharerights, usufruct, and otherrights to use properties).

GuiltThere is often much guilt involved in theloss of a pet. People find themselveshaunted by thoughts portraying whatcould have been done to prevent the death.When a pet has to be put down by themeans of euthanasia, there is always doubton whether the decision is correct. To letyour pet fall into an endless sleep can alsobe viewed as a last sign of betrayal. Intimes like this it is important to rememberthe reasons behind this decision. If yourpet is put down it is a means to stop itssuffering and a chance to end its life in adignified way.

DepressionThis is by far the longest stage in themourning process. You are no longerdenying the facts. You are no longer hopingfor a miracle – to wake up one morning to

find your pet alive and well – like wakingup from a nightmare. This is the stagewhere you simply miss the pet or feel sorrythat he/she is no longer there. Many peopleare surprised about the depth of the sorrowthey can experience. Many expect to beover the loss relatively fast, mostly due tothe fact that is was “just a pet” and not aperson that died. Thoughts like thesearen’t just unrealistic, they are also unjust.It is the memories left that make it sowonderful to have pets – theirunconditional love, loyalty andcamaraderie. And for those whose pet hasbecome their main companion, this step inthe process can indeed be very time-consuming.

The “useless” ResidenciaMany Brits miss the oldstyle photo “ResidenciaCard” and still wonderwhy this useful piece ofidentification waswithdrawn and thenreplaced, firstly with anA4 certificate andcurrently with a card – butboth without aphotograph.

The quick answer is theresidency card is notmeant to be anidentification document, itis simply a receipt thatshows you have includedyourself on the centralregister of foreigners asliving in Spain, as isrequired by Spanish law.

From 28th March 2007,Spanish Royal Decree,240/07 (law), required allEU citizens who havebeen in Spain for morethan three months andwho intend to continueliving here, to registerthemselves with theforeigners office or at a

national police station.Whether they are workingor not.

To visit for a period ofless than three months ormore correctly for amaximum of 183 days, EUcitizens need only to be inpossession of a valid EUpassport, or an ID card ifthey have one. Brits, ofcourse, do not. The onlytrue ID a UK citizen has isa valid passport, althoughother identification may beaccepted depending onwho you are talking to andthe situation.

The rules go on to saythat, once registered, youmust be immediatelygiven a copy of theinformation on anappropriate certificate.This is exactly what it says– it is a certificate (orreceipt) to show you havebeen added to the centralregister of foreigners.

Although it shows the

date of registration, yourname, nationality, addressand N.I.E number(Numero IdentificaciónExtranjero – fiscal numberfor banking etc.) it is not aform of identification andis stamped as such in largeletters. It is not “useless”,it is your “receipt” nothingmore and nothing less andyou maybe asked to showit.Yes, the old Residencia

Card was very useful andmany a Brit abroad wouldlove to have an UK ID cardbut that is not a problemor of concern to theSpanish authorities.Regarding the issue of UKID cards or lack of them,this can be taken up forthe time being withMessrs Cameron andClegg, care of 10 DowningStreet, London.

Please help CudecaAt the beginning of theweek we at The Newsreceived the followingstatement from Cudeca. Allcharities need as muchhelp as you can give themright now as, with the“crisis” they are not gettingas much in their coffers.We all know that times arehard but there are thoseamong us that do have “afew bob” to spare so, please,give as much as you can.

Statement fromCudeca

“While 2011 was afinancially positive year,thanks to the unexpectedincome from the sale ofthree inherited properties,in 2012 Cudeca will closeaccounts with losses inexcess of €400,000, whichis of serious concern to theimmediate future of theHospice.

This situation is mainlydue to the worldwideeconomic crisis, whichsince 2010 has significantlyaffected public subventionsand donations fromsavings banks, and in2012, for the first time in20 years, has caused aconcerning drop in incomefrom individuals, both

Spanish and foreign, whohave been the firm basethat has supported Cudecasince the very beginning.This has therefore resultedin event revenues droppingby 15%, and donations by14%.

Furthermore, it was notpossible to sell anyproperties during 2012.Despite lowering pricevalues, the housing marketcrisis is severely affectingthis source ofextraordinary incomewhich in previous yearshad helped to overcome theannual deficit.

The Board of Trustees,the Hospice’s highest levelof management, togetherwith the Board ofDirectors, are constantlyevaluating this hardsituation, anticipating thatthe current economic crisiswill continue for someyears to come. Measuresare being explored toincrease revenue andreduce costs, which will beimplemented in the comingmonths. One of the firststeps which is alreadyunderway is to reduceemployee salaries, thanksto the effort andcommitment of all theemployees.

For the time being, it isnot contemplated that the

Hospice care programmeswill be affected, given thatthe reserves can sustainthe programmes in theshort-term, ever hopingthat the measures thathave been taken onboardwill improve expectationsfor the near future. In May2013 the situation will bere-assessed at anextraordinary Boardmeeting.

Cudeca in 2013 and2014 will be facing a hugechallenge: to continueproviding the necessarylevel of care to people withcancer or other advancedand non-curable illnesses,aiming to alleviatesymptoms and toaccompany them to the endof life. Each year 750patients and their familiesneed the special kind ofcaring provided by theHospice.

In the past Cudeca hassuccessfully overcomesimilar crises, and hopesthat this time they will winthe battle to keep theHospice care available toall who need them. Cudecafeels deeply grateful for theinterest, encouragementand support received fromeveryone who has sharedtheir journey over the past20 years.”

FAMILY LAW NEWSfrom De Cotta LawInternational Child Cases

Family cases with aninternational or crossborder element haveincreased enormously.Reunite figures showed an88% increase in just undera decade. The most highprofile cases are thoseinvolving the “kidnap” ofchildren where one of theparents takes the childrento another country withoutthe other parent’s consent.Some statistics released inDecember are surprisingrevealing that 70% of casesare where the motherremoves the children fromtheir country of habitualresidence although mostpeople assume it is wherethe father takes them toanother country.

Reunite InternationalChild Abduction Centrehas also provided figuresthat show that a quarter ofpeople questioned wereunaware that it is acriminal matter if noconsent has been givenand one parent isdepriving the other ofcontact in the country oftheir habitual or normalresidence.

This impacts on thosefamilies who have movedto Spain from Britain andelsewhere and now wish toreturn to their countries oforigin – perhaps foreconomic reasons in thecurrent financial climate.The most important thingis to get advice beforemaking the move.

There is now aconvention which governschild matters in the

Spanish jurisdiction.Although originallydrafted in 1996 theconvention only came intoeffect in Spain in 2011.This means that a judge inSpain asked to decide onmatters of custody, visitsand parentalresponsibility must makethat decision based onSpanish law– and alwaysin the best interests of thechild. In some cases thisdoes mean allowing themother or father to returnto their country of originwith the children but thecourt will insist on apractical regime of visitsfor the parent whoremains in this country.

In most cases it ispossible to negotiate andcome to a sensiblearrangement withouthaving to involve thecourts. If it is necessary togo to court the applicationneeds to be not only legallyargued but also needs toshow a plan is in place forthe children’s social andeducational adjustment totheir new residence.

Divorce byconsentSpain has a system of

no fault divorce and aBritish or foreign couplewho live in Spain wishingto divorce can do so byagreeing the divorce andsubmitting to the law ofSpain providing the courtwith a ConvenioRegulador (similar to anEnglish consent order).This will allow them to

regulate arrangements forchildren and theirfinancial matters withouthaving to rely on theSpanish court to make adecision. The judge willrequire evidence of foreignlaw if the couple are bothof the same nationalityand this makes the mattermore complicated andcostly.

However if there arepensions, English or non-Spanish assets and othercomplicated valuationssuch as the value ofbusiness and mortgagedproperty it is best toconsider if the case shouldbe dealt with in Spain orwhether anotherjurisdiction is moreappropriate. With the newEuropean regulations(Brussels II) in place thematter of jurisdiction i.e.which country’s courtsshould hear the case isvery important. Theprinciple is “first come,first served” so it is best toget advice if you live inSpain and if you thinkthere may be difficulties individing the assets ondivorce.

Next week in Fuengirolaat the Salon VarietesTheatre, just off ChurchSquare, a sweet and sourmoment will take place.The sweet is that thetheatre is presenting itsannual Old Time MusicHall – with a bizarrecollection of charactersattempting to keepsufficiently sober to give,to what is usually apacked house, a veryBritish evening ofentertainment. OurSpanish friends think usmad and they may be rightbut under the watchful eye– actually he has two sobeware – of Mr. ColinPollard, one of the mostexperienced andprofessional of sadisticMusic Hall chairmen, theaudience will be treated toa team of performersbringing back one of thegreat traditions of UKentertainment.

Music Hall started atthe beginning of the 19thcentury with singers inpubs and saloon bars. Ittook off in such a way thatby the 1850s the pubswere being knocked downand replaced by purposebuilt theatres but ones inwhich you could eat, drinkand smoke. The mix ofentertainment withsingers, musicians andcomedians made this adifferent experience to the

normal theatres of theday. With drink involvedthe audience could get outof hand and the compere'sjob was not just to telljokes and introduce theacts but to try and keepthe audience in some sortof order. Colin Pollard israther good at this so ifyou bring your drink intothe theatre and eat asandwich or caviar andchips, he will spot you and....! No smoking now ofcourse.

The best Music Halls –and the Salon Varietes isthe best in Fuengirola –had lovely singers (MissLizz Freeman herself andMiss Sian Hopkins),Speciality Acts (TheSalon's own SynchronisedSwimmers)beautifuldancers(choreographedby MissAlexandraAvery andcompany)FemaleImpersonators(Mr BunnyLane) andaudiencemayhem (wehope).

This articlebegan by sayingthat it wassweet and sour,well this is the

last Music Hall directed byMiss Lizz Freeman. Shehas been a stalwart of thetheatre for many years(though still a young andlovely singer) as aperformer in Musicals andstraight plays. Her inputwill be sorely missed butshe may return in the coldwinter months fromEngland to delight us oncemore. However this maybe your last chance, howcould you live withyourselves if you passed itup?

The theatre box office ison 952 47 45 42 and MrBrian Hindley will ensureyou are seated safely awayfrom the line of vision ofThe Salon Chairman!

The Grotesque FactorRanging from theunbelievably ugly, throughthe disgusting, thepitiable, the comic and thefrankly bizarre, theexhibits in the temporaryexhibition at the MuseoPicasso in Malaga provokea wide range of reactionsin visitors.

The Grotesque Factorhas brought together ahuge range of works – bymore than 74 Europeanand American artists –produced over the past 500years. From curiousdecorations adorning thepalace of Emperor Nero inthe First Century AD tothe meticulous linedrawings of Leonardo DaVinci; from the viciouspolitical satire of Hogarthto the horrors painted byGoya after his visits toSpain's terrible mentalasylums; through to thedark intensity of FrancisBacon and theunmistakable colours andlines of Picasso. Most ofthe works on show are

drawings or paintingsthough there are someequally strange modelsand sculptures, as well asa host of books andmagazine illustrations.The exhibits have beenlent from prestigious artgalleries and collectionsworldwide.

While it does not do tobe too squeamish, theexhibition is ruthless andfascinating in its pursuit ofwhat can be termed“grotesque” – a definitionwhich, of course, changesfrom period to period andis always open tosubjective interpretation.The variety of expression,the extraordinary featuresand the frankly mystifyingideas make for a mostentertaining few hours –there is so much to see

that you could literallytake hours to view it all insufficient depth.

The Grotesque Factor ison show until February10th at the PicassoMuseum, Palacio deBuenavista, Calle SanAgustin 8. You don't haveto pay full admissioncharges for the wholemuseum to see thetemporary exhibition andthere are concessions forthe over 65s. If you haveenough stamina you canpurchase a combinedticket and make a day ofit!

moviE SPoTLiGHT By Amy Thomas

Back in 2009 whenTarantino’s

“Inglourious Basterds” wasreleased, I was awfullydistressed as I was unableto get to the cinema andhad to wait for the DVDrelease. As we all knowTarantino’s movies arevery cinematic and shouldbe seen on the silverscreen to get the fullTarantino experience. So,before it was too late, thisweek I made my way downthe cinema to seen“Django Unchained”, andboy, was it worth it!

Many people aren’tfond of Tarantino’s

work, they say he is tooviolent. Granted “Django”isn’t for the faint hearted,however, much ofTarantino’s violence isalmost cartoonish. Ofcourse he goespurposefully over the topwith the violence – givingit a comic element thatcomplements the quirkyscript and several ‘laughout loud’ moments.

Although “Django” isnominated for five

Oscars, I seriously doubtthat it will win “BestPicture”. The academy arewarming to Tarantino,however Spielberg’s“Lincoln” is a little more“factual and historical” andless violent, so I think“Lincoln” will win bestpicture.

The plot of “Django”consists simply of

bounty hunter, Dr Shultz(Christoph Waltz) freeingslave Django (Foxx) toassist him locate his‘bounties’ in return for hisfreedom and finding andreuniting him with his wife,Broomhilda.

You may recall ChristophWaltz was first brought

to our attention as the ‘JewHunter’ in “InglouriousBasterds”. He completelystole the movie with hischarismatic performanceand quite deservedlywalked away with an

Academy Award. Well, he’sdone it again, and from thevery beginning of the filmwe are intrigued andenchanted by hischaracter. I suspect hisOscar will be getting apartner in February whenthe winners areannounced.

Tarantino is well knownfor reviving the careers

of actors (e.g JohnTravolta) and it’s DonJohnson’s turn this time.Cast as plantation ownerBig Daddy, Johnson hasquite a small but verymemorable role, heading apre-KKK mob who are lessthan happy with the waythe eyeholes in their headsacks have been cut. OnlyTarantino could make ahilarious scene about theinfamous lynch mob.

Jamie Foxx’s performancewas also impressive and

I think that it is his bestwork to date. It certainlyseems that QT manages tobring the best out of hisactors.

On a negative note, I dothink that the film was

a little overlong and mayhave benefitted from a bitof editing. Eagle-eyedcritics will also have a fieldday spotting manyanachronisms, but hey,this is entertainment, not ahistory lesson!

Towards the end of themovie we see the

director himself andTarantino stable MichaelParks as The LeQuintDickey Mining Co.employee and I had to givea silent cheer for hisuntimely demise – if onlyfor his dreadful Australianaccent.

As with the majority ofMr Tarantinos’ films,

once you’ve stripped awaythe violence and the shockvalue, you are left with agood old fashioned lovestory which goes to provethe Big Movie Rebel, is justa Big Softy at heart!

DVD NEW RELEASERelease date: February 4th 2013

Directed by Michele Placido. Starring: Daniel Auteuil, Mathieu Kassovitz, OlivierGourmet

Director Bigelow pickedup the Oscar for The HurtLocker and returns to theterrorist landscape of theMiddle East for her latestOscar-nominated movie –and fans of Homeland willrecognise the film'sresonances with thatEmmy-winning TV series.

The death of OsamaBin Laden at the hands ofa highly trained NavySEAL unit was a dramathat gripped the world.But leading up to thepowerhouse action were

years of painstakinginvestigations andresearch in which teams ofanalysts poured over tinypieces of information untilfinally they were led toBin Laden's courier, andfrom there to the terrorchief himself. The last 40minutes of the movie arenerve-shredding highoctane action drama.

Before that Chastainplays Maya, the real-lifeCIA agent (above right)who helped puts together(as Carrie does in

Homeland) the pieces. Themovie has causedcontroversy for appearingto condone waterboardingas a method of obtaininginformation, and Mayaappears to play her part insanctioning 'whatever ittakes' actions to securesuccess.

Bigelow doesn't offercomment on torture –hence the criticism. Buther movie doesintelligently portray thedetermination and thepersistence that

underpinned thesuccessful bid to find BinLaden and there is plentyof gripping suspense alongthe way. It's been pickingup awards already andmay well garner someOscar wins.

An emotional crossroads is looming, something that connects you to your pastand another that connects you to your future. You do have a choice, you caneither stay where you have been or follow the intense tidal wave forward wherethings feel uncertain and yet somehow inevitable. Objectivity is the key here,take a step back before taking action and try to see the bigger picture, this willenable you to be rational and make the right choices for you.

Your earning potential and livelihood is on your mind with an opportunitytowards the end of the week which can turn things in your financial favour.There is a key person in your life that you can positively depend upon for supportand even when your emotions or pressure take you by surprise, this person willhelp you to breathe a little easier. Although it is hard for you to remainadaptable it serves you well and a little bit of compromising gives you wings.

This is a spontaneous week where you will need to be ready to change directionin order to fulfil what is now required of you. This is the time to rise to thechallenges, shift gears where needs be, in order to support what surfaces. Oneof your talents is the ability to think on your feet and others will look to you toenergise conversations – don’t be surprised if you find yourself in the centre ofbrainstorming sessions. Expect sudden and quick journeys.

When you share the load then some things that seem like an impossible taskbecome easy to achieve and fun to do. This week break free of the usual rutsand routines and try doing something different, something new. Newrelationships could be formed at this time and you are likely to be drawn tothose of a like mind. By the weekend it is time for some socialising, a chance tolet your hair down whilst improving your connections.

Something has reached a true limit, a bottom line in the area of relationships,there is no more room for maybe. You have been pushed until you are standingnow at a junction, if you take the right-hand lane, then a new set of rules have tobe laid down, communication needs to happen to clear the air. The left-hand pathis the opposite, taking off any restrictions that have been wearing you down, andembracing freedom. There is a choice.

You can’t have things both ways, so before you put your foot down, beabsolutely sure of what you want. Like all things, choices have very powerfulconsequences so be aware of what could happen as a result of your words andactions. Pay attention to the details and if you are going to do something thenmake sure you give it your best. Others are still looking at you to take the leadright now and your popularity increases as a result.

Be ready to put a plan into motion as stalled projects can spring back to life withnew growth and opportunities. Your creative and inventive inspirations will findan outlet and you are likely to be in demand. Any restrictions that you havebeen feeling will be removed and this will allow you to express your innersensuality. Some inside information may come to light that will prove usefuland can make a considerable financial improvement to your life.

Something is about to change forever as you outgrow a habit that has been withyou for many years. Habits take time and repetition to manifest so it may taketremendous will to change this pattern but you are determined. This will enableyou to release some of the emotional weight you have been carrying and torestore the balance within without harbouring any resentment. By the weekendthere is passion and romance in the air.

Things that have been covered and hidden will now be revealed and alsoopportunities that were once lost will somehow re-appear. You will exude asense of confidence and optimism that shines out to all, this is a time you havebeen waiting for. As you start to feel energy rising within you may have to forceyourself to attend to the details but these are as important as the bigger goals.They are the stepping stones – keep your feet on the ground and you can’t gowrong.

You could feel under the spotlight right now, the centre of attention and youcould be worrying that you are going to get something wrong. Putting yourselfout there in a new way can be nerve racking, it can create this sense thateveryone is staring at you, in some cases judging you. Feeling out of control isyour greatest tripping point this week, there are only two options though backor forward, step out of your comfort zone and embrace this new territory.

Your home life is very important to you right now and this is a great time toreconnect with friends and family. Things in the other areas of your life areabout to move quickly, there could be possible career changes and shifts,perhaps a promotion. Be ready to take action and be adaptable to move indifferent directions from what you expect. This is the time that dreams aremade of and lady luck is riding with you.

Well one thing is sure you are not going to be allowed to get trapped in old rutsand routines, although things may not be easy or without a challenge, this is alldesigned to prepare you for the changes that are coming. The key to keepingharmony within your relationships this week is to keep the mood light, this willallow you ample time to resolve, fix, tackle and improve all that is going onwithin your home environment without becoming too overwhelmed.

Improving sleep 'may slow memory rot'



It may be possible to slowthe decline in memory andlearning as people growolder by tackling poorsleep problems,researchers at theUniversity of Californiahave said, after theirstudy of 36 people – 18 intheir twenties and 18 intheir seventies – revealedan intimate relationshipbetween an ageing brain,sleep and memory.Experiments showed thatchanges in the ageingbrain damaged the qualityof deep sleep, which inturn hampered the abilityto store memories.

However, theresearchers said it wasunknown whetherchanges in the brain, sleepand memory were allseparate signs of ageing ordeeply connected. Theirseries of experiments withthe 36 volunteers firstshowed that they could

use the state of a region ofthe brain, called themedial prefronal cortex, topredict how much deep, orslow-wave sleep a personwould have. That part ofthe brain is essential forentering deep sleep, butwith age the regiondegrades.

Secondly, they showedthat the amount of deepsleep could be used topredict how well peoplewould do on memory tests.The younger patientsgetting plenty of goodquality sleep performedbetter on tests than theirolder colleagues who hadworse quality sleep. Theysaid: "Taken all together,the deterioration of thebrain leads to thedeterioration of sleep tothe deterioration ofmemory."

"Slow wave sleep iscritically important for

cementing new memoriesyou've recently learned.It's like clicking the savebutton."

However they saidthere might be a silverlining – they are not ableto restore the ageingsection of the brain, butthey believe they can dosomething about sleep.They said it is possible toboost the quality of sleepby stimulating the rightregion of the brain withelectricity during thenight, which had beenshown to boost memory

performance in youngpeople. The researchersnow want to beginexperiments on elderlypatients too, describingtheir aim as "jump-starting" the system.

In patients withdementia, the symptomsof brain cells dying, badsleep and memory loss arefar worse than in normalageing. A recent study hassuggested sleepingproblems may be an earlysign of Alzheimer's and aspokesman for the charityAlzheimer's Research UK,

said further studies wereneeded to confirm thelink.

"Increasing evidencehas linked changes insleep to memory problemsand dementia, but it's notclear whether thesechanges might be a causeor consequence. "Thepeople studied here werefollowed for a very shortperiod, and one of the nextsteps could be toinvestigate whether a lackof 'slow-wave' sleep mayalso be linked to a long-term decline in memory."

Trains, trucks, taxis, cargo ships and not a plane in sight

Graham Hughes, 33 fromLiverpool is about to gethimself into the Guiness Bookof Records. Did he spend thelongest time bouncing on aspace ball? Nope! Did he eatmore hamburgers in tenminutes than anyone had everdone before? Nope!

Graham Hughes is the guywho has visited every countryin the world, and he’s done itwithout getting on a plane.Other restrictions put on himby Guiness were that he

couldn’t use private transportover large distances, nor couldhe hitch-hike.

His odessey of visiting all 193UN-recognised countriesstarted in January 2009 andhe has done it all on a budgetof less than £7,000 a year forthe first couple of years andthen less than £3,000 afterthat.

He has also undertaken"surface journeys" to all theworld's hot spots – including

Iraq, Afghanistan and NorthKorea – and visited everysovereign nation in the worldincluding Vatican City,Palestine, Taiwan, WesternSahara and Kosovo, which donot have seats at the UN.

However, once he thought he’dfinished, the Guiness Book ofRecords ruled that his visit toRussia hadn’t counted becausehe had basically entered thecountry illegally by wadingacross the River Narva to getthere from Estonia. So, this

Monday he travelled by trainfor 25 hours from LondonVictoria to Gdansk, Poland,after which he got the bus –this time with a visa.

During his journey Grahamfilmed a TV show for theNational GeographicAdventure channel and raisedmoney for the charity WaterAid .

He also blogged about theexperience on www.theodysseyexpedition.com/

This week a man from Liverpool should make it into the Guiness Book of Records

… but to get into Russia, you must have the appropriate and accepted visa!

My interest in astronomy startedvery early on in the ‘60s as I satmesmerised in front of the TV

watching Mike Mercury in Supercar.Shortly afterwards came Steve Zodiac inFireball XL5, Thunderbirds and StarTrek, I was in sci-fi heaven!

And if that wasn’t enough to stir ayoung boy’s imagination, over inAmerica real astronauts were

flying in real spaceships in an attempt tobeat those pesky Russians in a space raceto the Moon. I was 10 years old when Neiland Buzz landed on the Moon in 1969 –my school teacher at the time had givenmy Mum permission for me to stay offschool on the Monday as the astronautswere due to land late on Sunday night.

My parents bought me my firsttelescope when I was nine yearsold but hard as I tried I could

never really see anything through it. Iwas distraught until a neighbour who hadhis own telescope heard about me andinvited me to look through his telescope.The first thing I saw was Saturn and itsrings, from then on I was well and trulybitten by it all.

Idiscovered there was an astronomysociety in Liverpool and when I was11 my Dad took me there. The other

members were much older than me and alot more knowledgeable but they showedme patience and taught me not only howto use my little telescope but also what Ishould be looking at – it opened up awhole new world to me. Up until then Ihad been on my own late at night in myparent’s garden –mostly being scared outof my senses – but soldiering on withPatrick Moore’s guide to the stars tryingto make sense of it all while learning theconstellations.

Joining an astronomy society or evenjust popping along every now andthen is the ideal learning ground.

For me, meeting people with a sharedinterest who were always more thanwilling to help out was really what keptmy enthusiasm alive. I think I probablywould have dumped my ‘useless’ telescopeif it hadn’t been for them showing me howto use it properly.

When I moved to Spain andstarted writing for ‘The News’and also the previous

newspaper (The Town Crier) I found a lotof people emailing me and asking me toform an English speaking astronomysociety. So in 2008 I formed theFuengirola Astronomy Society. Nothingfancy I thought, just a few people able tomeet up once a month or so to sharestories, tips and ideas. I was shocked!

People came from miles around and verysoon there was a call for a secondAstronomy Society. So my friend LaurieYates formed the Coin Astronomy Societywith the U3A for people living in thatarea. Laurie is an excellent astro-photographer and takes incredible imageswith his telescope using equipment thatin my youth could only be afforded byNASA.

As I had to move back to Liverpoolin 2011, my friend Lee Osborneagreed to take over the running of

the Fuengirola Astronomy Society. Leehas taken the society to new heights andholds regular monthly meetings on thethird Thursday of every month at theCafé Manila on the sea front just past theYaramar Hotel heading toward LosBoliches. Lee also holds observingsessions travelling to El Torcal naturereserve where there is a very impressiveobservatory and telescopes. If you areinterested in going along to any of Lee’smeetings then he can be contacted atwww.astronomycostadelsol.com – [email protected] or Tel 616679 453 for further details.

My wife Marilyn and I will becoming back to Spain next weekfor a few days and I will be

giving a short talk about the stars at theCafé Manila on Tuesday 5th February at8.00pm if anyone would like to come alongand say ‘Hi’.

Friends of mine who teach at SwansSchool in Marbella have also askedif I could spend the day talking to

some of their senior pupils whoapparently have been swept up byastronomy after watching the recent BBCBrian Cox Stargazing live programmes.I’m hoping to be able to do some eveningobserving with the students as many ofthem have their own telescopes.

So much for my little Spanishholiday!

Happy stargazing!

StargazingBy Ken Campbell

Astronomy SocietyFor anyone who is interested in finding outmore about astronomy, the best place tolearn is at anastronomy society.

I apologise for once againtaking up precious space inyour columns.I thought we had put theWinter Fuel Allowanceissue to bed so to speak,however the letter fromLeighton Curtis deserves aresponse.First of all not all ex-patpensioners who move toSpain are RICH. Manymoved here for the betterclimate and the morerelaxed lifestyle and onlylive on their pensions.Many pensioners come herefor three to four months inthe winter to escape the UKclimate, staying in hotelswhich offer full board at aminimum price in orderthat they can stay open andnot have to lay off staff thusdamaging the country’seconomy. These pensionersuse their pension to coverthis.

As is well known and waswidely reported the eurodropped dramaticallyagainst the pound in 2008and still remains at around1/3rd less. That resulted inmany pensioners seeing abig drop in their incomeand for many this lead to astruggle to pay mortgagesand in some cases survive.The difference Mr. Curtisbetween ex-pat"immigrants" to Spain andimmigrants to the UK isthat we CONTRIBUTED tothe system ... in some casesfor up to 44 years!Immigrants to the UKcontribute NOTHING inthe vast majority of casesand milk the system to thefull."You chose to leave the UKso you should not beallowed to claim anything"claims Mr. Curtis. We areSTILL UK citizens and

many of us still pay taxes tothe UK Govt. therefore wehave the right the same ascitizens in the UK to claimthe same benefits they areentitled to.And finally Mr. Curtis youdefeat your own argumentby stating if pensionerscan’t make ends meet herethey should move back tothe UK. Well manypensioners who arestruggling here can’t affordto live in the UK either andthat is why they claimedbenefits there in the firstplace!!!!So go back and smell yourcoffee Mr. Curtis and havea think about people whoare obviously not as well offas you.

Editor says: I thought we’dget a few replies to that one!

I was appalled by the letterfrom Mr Curtis in lastweek’s copy of The News.

What I would like to say inreply would be unprintablein a newspaper but, sufficeto say that I have rarelyread anything thatsounded so smug. Mostpeople who live here inSpain in part enjoy it somuch because it is cheaperthan living in the UK. Of

course, the sun plays ahuge part in our enjoymentof the country but to beable to afford to livesomewhere as well is anadded bonus.

I am a retiree living on apension. I never madeenough money in the UKto fund a private pensionalthough I worked all mylife, payed my dues intothe system and never,luckily, had to go “on thedole” and take money outof the system.

Idiots like Mr Curtistherefore just make myblood boil with hisinsinuation that people

here are just taking moneyfrom our mother countrybecause we can.

I don’t know if this manhibernates in the winterbut it does get rather coldhere and fuel for gasheaters and wood for“estufas” does not comecheap. Clearly the mandoesn’t feel the cold asmuch as the rest of us!

So, Mr Curtis, I would sayto you, we have paid ourdues and are not rich so weshould still get our entitledmoneys from the UK.What a po-faced idiot and Ithank my lucky stars thatI don’t know this man!

Hi Amy,I enjoyed reading yourreview of the film,Moonrise Kingdom, but didyou forget to mentionwhere it was showing?

Holdem is now the mainformat of poker played inEurope and the USA. Backin the 1990s and `80sOmaha was the main gameplayed in Britain andEurope so let’s talk aboutOmaha this week. If you’rea Holdem player learningand playing Omaha willenhance your skills. AtOmaha every street bringsa new draw and AA/KK isnot such a good startinghand as in Holdem.

The hand rankings inOmaha are the same as inHoldem as well as thebetting pre flop, flop, turnand river. The onlydifference is each player isdealt four personal cardsface down. Unlike inHoldem you can't play theboard as you must use twofrom your hand and three

from the board. The beststarting hand isAK/AKsuited, single pairsdon't play well such asAcAd/7sJh because youneed to hit an A tomake a set but againat Omaha a set is not astrong hand. Ideally wewant to be able to make twogood starting hands fromour four hole cards – anexample being AdQd/Jc9c –because we have two flushdraws, one being the nutdraw, and all four cards areconnected for a straightdraw. Do not overplay twopairs, sets, weak straightsand flushes, if there arethree of a suit on the boardflushes are likely to be outthere and if the board pairsremember full houses arecommon in Omaha.

If you play Holdem give

Pot Limit Omaha a trybecause of the changingdraws at the turn of everycard it will help you spotdraws and other dangers atHoldem. You have to learnto read the cards to work outwhat your opponents have– the odds vary so much onevery street.

Last of all thanks to allwho attended Lillie LangtryBar Benalmadena lastFriday. A good poker nightwas had by all and there isa repeat this Friday ifanyone fancies comingalong it starts 8.30pm formore info tel 671118228.

And it was Málaga whostarted well and withinten minutes they were infront. An in-swingingfreekick had the Mallorcadefence in trouble and theball fell to Saviola whosmashed it home frominside the box. And justsix minutes later Málagamade it two as Monrealpicked out Isco who wasreturning after injury,and he volleyed homewell.

Mallorca rallied wellthough and after 27

minutes wereback in it, across was notdealt with bythe Málagadefence andVictor firedhome frominside thebox. Mallorcawere all overMálaga withGiovanicausing havocin the visitors’ defence,but it was Málaga whoscored again, a good breakfound Monreal who firedhome from the edge of thebox on 62 minutes.Giovani in the 70thminute scored a brilliant25 yard free kick curlingin, giving Caballero nochance, and almostimmediately Demichelisgot sent off with adangerous challenge.Málaga again with 10
