Editorial by Lenox Napier

It always seem to me strange that people, using old dusty stories, yearn to take your land, or your city, or your home… and make it theirs.

Historical examples abound, right enough – from Gibraltar to Palestine; from Comanche Territory to The Ukraine; from Belize to uh, Olivenza.

There’s always somebody waving an old document, or maybe a rusty key. My great-great-great grandfather used to live here and then the government threw us all out and now look, we want it back.

The Moors have claims to Córdoba, the Moroccans want Melilla and the 1,200,000 Miami Cubans are the cause of the sixty-six year old US blockade against Havana.

If they come in and take over, will they let me stay? Is there someone with a better claim to my farm because of an old deed, or a tradition of what’s written in someone’s Good Book?

The Moriscos lost their properties in Sixteenth Century Spain and were obliged to head off to North Africa – where none of them had ever been before.

The true gibraltareños living in San Roque, worrying all day long about getting their rock back.

Those who had to flee from their homes thanks to the Spanish Civil War, still living grumpily in France or Germany.

Refugees the world over: war, greed and politics.

Then, if that’s not bad enough, it must also be very trying for the folk who live in a house to know that the bank wants it – because of monetary considerations (the rent, the mortgage, the new tower block that someone plans to build on the same site).

But we were talking about Olivenza.

Olivenza, also known as Olivença, is, says Wiki ‘a town in south-western Spain, close to the Portugal–Spain border. It is a municipality belonging to the province of Badajoz, and to the wider autonomous community of Extremadura’. It was Portuguese for a long time, but it was ceded by treaty to Spain in 1801 following a squabble. Presumably the locally defeated Portuguese burghers have been talking of little else since then, Bless them, fi*****ng their old iron padlocks and maybe a contract or two.

Maybe there’re a few well-oiled flintlocks in a chest somewhere in the attic held just in case. Two hundred and twenty years is but a moment in time, right?

And those 12,000 Spanish oliventinos who live there now? What to do with them – give them Portuguese identity cards and build a few flats? They’d rapidly become a nuisance.

See, Nuno Melo, the current Portuguese Minister of Defence (that’s to say: the man in charge of the Portuguese army) is now claiming Olivenza (or Olivença) for his country, because you know: the treaty/schmeaty.

For España for once, the shoe is on the other foot.

By the way, some idiot from the Vox party stole a breeze-block from Gibraltar in 2014 and it’s now taking pride of place in the foyer of that party’s head office in Madrid.

The Gibraltarians want it back.

Maybe the Portuguese could help…

A resident of Roquetas raises 10,000 euros to repatriate the body of his 20-year-old daughter who died in Japan

Denisa Alexandra Masura Oltean, of Romanian and Spanish nationality, had fulfilled her dream of travelling around the world by joining commercial aviation as a cabin crew member. This 20-year-old had lived for years with her family in Roquetas, where she attended the IES Turaniana, until she began a short professional career that would take her first to the Saudi low-cost company Flynas and then to the Emirates airline based in Dubai, the largest in the Middle East. A few months ago she had settled in Japan, a country that fascinated her since she was little, with the aim of starting a new stage in her life. But her sudden death has frustrated all those aspirations and plunged her family into deep sadness. At the end of August, the owner of the apartment where she lived found Denisa's body.

Preliminary reports point to natural causes, due to health problems, although there are still some unknowns to be resolved and the family, in their grief and resignation, do not rule out opening new investigations into this sudden death of the young woman. But the first thing is the repatriation of the lifeless body of the young woman to Roquetas, a very expensive operation due to the high costs involved in international transport and legal and funeral procedures. Her father Ioan Masura started a crowdfunding campaign on the GoFundMe website a few days ago to raise funds because they do not have sufficient resources to deal with this situation and the response has exceeded expectations.

More than 400 donations totalling 10,814 euros, surpassing the barrier of ten thousand that is set as a target and that most campaigns never reach. The father thanked the countless contributions received through the platform, some of them as much as 500 euros, because otherwise they would not have been able to start the repatriation of his daughter's remains, which he estimated at around 30,000 euros. "Thank you for your support and generosity, it means everything to us, we would not have been able to do it without the belief in doing good for incredible people," said Ioan-Emil Masura through GoFundMe.

Acquaintances and anonymous people have come together with this fundraiser in solidarity to help cover the expenses that can alleviate the immense pain suffered by the family and guarantee the eternal rest that Denisa deserves. Co-workers remember her as a person full of life, always willing to share her enthusiasm and camaraderie in the service on board the plane. The stories and anecdotes that she shared on her social networks reflected her passion for travel and the excitement she felt in discovering new cultures. A life cut short too soon by a death as sudden as it was unexpected.

The Automobile Club presents the new features of the 49th Rallye Costa de Almería

The Moisés Ruiz Pavilion was the chosen venue to present the 49th edition of the Rallye Costa de Almería. Organised by the Automobile Club, the most important motorsport event in the province will take place on the 27th, 28th and 29th of September, and will also be a qualifying event for the Andalusian Asphalt and Regularity Rally Championship and the Almería Provincial Council Cup.

The presentation was attended by the vice-president and deputy for Sports, Healthy Living and Youth, José Antonio García; the councillor for Sports of the Almería City Council, Antonio Jesús Casimiro; the president of the Automobile Club Almería, José Manuel López; and the provincial delegate of the Andalusian Federation of Motorsports (FAA), Martín Pastor.

Thus, José Antonio García highlighted that with this event “high-level sport and competition are brought to many corners of the province and to small municipalities that will be able to enjoy one of the most important rallies on the national scene.” “Another important aspect is that it is a rally that defines the uniqueness and diversity of the tourist-sports destination of the Costa de Almería. The province of Almería has everything at a sporting and tourist level with its privileged natural surroundings, as well as perfect roads for motor racing. From the Provincial Council of Almería we promote our sporting and tourist destination with events like this,” added the vice president.

The president of the Automobile Club of Almería encouraged all drivers to sign up for the event, as there is still time. “They will enjoy a very compact rally, like it has not been held for many years, and very close to the city,” added López.

The Councillor for Sports of the Almería City Council indicated that “Almería has the perfect conditions to carry out this test” and continued that “from the Almería City Council, as always, we will prepare the Rambla to give the start and finish to these pilots who carry out an extraordinary test”.

Finally, Martín Pastor highlighted that “in 2024 it will be 60 years since the Rallye ‘Costa de Almería’ began to be held. This makes it one of the most consolidated rallies at a national level. In this 49th edition it will be the fifth town to count towards the Andalusian Championship and everything indicates that it will be a great race. As of today I know that the registration exceeds thirty high-level teams, and registration is still open”.

This race, which runs through different municipalities such as the capital, Alboloduy, Enix, Alhama de Almería and Vícar, has a total distance of 420 km with a total of 10 timed sections and a distance of 112 km. It also has four sections and will be carried out in two stages.

Sir Keir Starmer declares gifts and freebies totalling more than £100,000 - the highest of any MP

Sir Keir Starmer has received substantially more freebies than any other MP since becoming Labour leader, Sky News can reveal.

Government officials are worried the prime minister's willingness to accept hospitality to go to football matches could amount to a conflict of interest given plans to overhaul the sport's regulator which many clubs oppose.

The prime minister received two-and-a-half times more gifts and hospitality than the next MP, according to a league table compiled as part of Sky News' Westminster Accounts project - which traces how money flows through our political system.

Since December 2019, he received £107,145 in gifts, benefits, and hospitality - a specific category in parliament's register of MPs' interests.

The next highest in the league table is the Commons leader Lucy Powell on £40,289, while the prime minister received gifts roughly equivalent to the next five MPs combined.

'It's nuts'
One member of the government called the situation "nuts" and said the freebies "should be banned".

Sky News has also learnt that officials are warning the prime minister could be opening himself up to inappropriate lobbying by saying he will continue to accept football tickets.

Ministers are usually told to avoid hospitality from any organisation connected to an ongoing government regulatory decision, and the future of a football regulator is under consideration at the moment.

The Premier League is one of the biggest donors of hospitality, and Sir Keir - a renowned Arsenal fan - has received almost £40,000 in tickets overall since December 2019.

Sir Keir declared £12,588 of gifts from the Premier League, which is lobbying against a football regulator; including four Taylor Swift tickets during the election campaign worth £4,000; two Euros finals tickets costing £1,628; and numerous tickets spanning several Arsenal matches costing well over £6,000 in total.

PM defiant in face of criticism
Sky News can reveal the prime minister ignored warnings from some in his senior team while in opposition. They feared the issue could cause him political damage, but he justified it by saying it was within the rules.

Senior Labour figures are incandescent that the story about freebies for the Starmer family has dragged on for days, and ministers going out with different and often contradictory explanations.

They blame a lack of political grip on the operation, intensifying pressure on Sir Keir's chief of staff Sue Gray, and sparking private calls for her to be side-lined or sacked.

Sir Keir defended his right to continue to take football freebies earlier this week, saying: "If I don't accept a gift of hospitality, I can't go to a game."

"Never going to an Arsenal game again because I can't accept hospitality is pushing it a bit far," he added.

Sky News asked Number 10 whether football donations were a conflict of interest and about the pre-election discussions about the appropriateness of accepting hospitality.

We also asked for comment on the fact Sir Keir is top of the table for gifts and hospitality, excluding legal donations.

They did not comment.

Most of Sir Keir's gifts and hospitality - £86,708 of the £107,145 - were accepted in the last parliament, but £20,437 was declared in this parliament for accommodation that straddles the two periods.

The biggest donor of gifts and hospitality is Labour peer Waheed Alli, who gave the equivalent of £39,122.

These donations included an unspecified donation of accommodation worth £20,437, "work clothing" worth £16,200, and multiple pairs of glasses equivalent to £2,485.

Starmer's chief of staff under fire
This comes on a bleak day for Sir Keir after the BBC revealed his chief of staff Sue Gray is paid more than £170,000, which is higher than the prime minister.

Ms Gray was the last government's ethics chief and even the prime minister's allies are incandescent she has not put a stop to this practice.

This is embarrassing for Sir Keir after he previously criticised the scale of Dominic Cummings's salary, who was Boris Johnson's chief of staff.

The government does not deny the salary level but insists she did not set the level of her salary herself - which is higher than her predecessor.

However, this has been challenged for figures familiar with the process. They said successive chiefs of staff who preceded Ms Gray had to agree recommendations on adviser pay and advise on the decisions made by ministers.

German tourist killed in shark attack near Canary Islands
Canary Islands

A German woman has died after a shark attack in the Atlantic Ocean near the Canary Islands, a popular British holiday destination.

On Monday, the 31-year-old lost her leg in the attack, a spokesperson for Spain’s Guardia Civil told CNN.

She was transferred via air ambulance to a hospital on the island of Gran Canaria where she suffered a heart attack and died.

Spain's sea rescue agency, Sasemar, reported that the incident happened 514 kilometres (319 miles) south-southwest of Gran Canaria and 180 kilometres (112 miles) west of Dakhla, Western Sahara.

According to reports, she was aboard a yacht that sailed from the city of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, on Saturday.

Shark attacks near the Canary Islands are rare, with only six confirmed cases on record, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History.

Walkie-talkies explode across Lebanon killing 20 and injuring 450 in latest attack

At least 20 people have been killed and more than 450 injured after walkie-talkies used by Hezbollah exploded in Lebanon a day after a similar attack left thousands wounded.

Exploding electronic devices were reported in multiple regions of Lebanon on Wednesday, including at a funeral in southern Beirut for a child and three Hezbollah members killed by exploding pagers the day before.

A Hezbollah official said walkie-talkies used by the group exploded as part of blasts heard across Beirut.

Soon after the explosion Israel's defence minister declared the start of a “new phase” of the war as his country turned towards focusing on Lebanon and Hezbollah.

Speaking to Israeli troops on Wednesday, Yoav Gallant made no mention of the explosions of electronic devices in Lebanon in recent days. But he praised the work of Israel’s army and security agencies, saying "the results are very impressive."

He said that after months of war against Hamas militants in Gaza, "the centre of gravity is shifting to the north by diverting resources and forces.”

"We are at the start of a new phase in the war - it requires courage, determination and perseverance," he said.

Israel’s army chief also said they had drawn up new plans to strike Hezbollah and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated recent statements saying returning people to their homes in the north of the country was his government's priority.

Israel has refused to comment on whether it was behind the pager attacks but Hezbollah and Iran have both blamed them.

ITV News International Editor Emma Murphy said the funeral was coming to an end and a group of young Scouts had just formed to lead the procession of coffins when the explosion happened a few metres from where they stood.

She said a hand was blown off and panicking people began screaming to turn off all their devices.

The blasts come a day after exploding pagers killed 12 people, including two children, and left 3,000 people in hospital.

The newly delivered pagers were given to Hezbollah to help communicate without using telecommunications that could be intercepted by Israel.

The US said it was not involved in either of the attacks and called for all sides to avoid escalation.

Before the latest attacks, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned against escalation saying: "Obviously the logic of making all these devices explode is to do it as a preemptive strike before a major military operation.

"So as important as the event in itself, is the indication that this event confirms that there is a serious risk of a dramatic escalation in Lebanon."

The UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk called the attacks a violation of international humanitarian law and called for an "independent, thorough and transparent investigation."

The explosions come amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, who have exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border since the October 7 attack by Hamas.

The pagers that blew up were reportedly acquired by Hezbollah after the group’s leader ordered members in February to stop using mobile phones, warning they could be tracked by Israeli intelligence.

A Hezbollah official told the Associated Press the pagers were a new brand, but declined to say how long they had been in use.

Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, whose AR-924 pagers were linked to those used by Hezbollah, said BAC Consulting KFT, a Budapest-based company, manufactured them.

“According to the cooperation agreement, we authorise BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” the company said in a statement.

BAC is yet to issue a statement.

At about 3:30pm local time on Tuesday, as people shopped for groceries, sat in cafes or drove cars and motorcycles in the afternoon traffic, the pagers in their hands or pockets started heating up and then exploding.

Members of Hezbollah and the Iranian ambassador were among those injured.

Lebanese health minister Firas Abiad said an unspecified number of healthcare workers were also killed and that two-thirds of the wounded needed hospital treatment.

He said the scale of the incident was far greater than the thousands wounded in the massive Beirut Port explosion in 2020, and that most of those wounded were in Beirut and its southern suburbs.

One of those killed was the son of a Hezbollah member in Parliament, according to the Hezbollah official who spoke anonymously.

Iranian state-run IRNA news agency said that the country’s ambassador, Mojtaba Amani, was superficially wounded by an exploding pager and was being treated at a hospital.

Iran, one of Hezbollah's primary supporters, has accused the US and its allies of backing the attack.

Iran has already sent a group of Iranian medics to Lebanon to help victims of the explosions.

While Israel has not claimed responsibility, a US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press that Israel had briefed the United States after the attack.

Hundreds in Lebanon and dozens in Israel have been killed in clashes across the border since October 7, which have also displaced tens of thousands on both sides.

Israel said on Tuesday that stopping Hezbollah’s attacks in the north to allow residents to return to their homes is now an official goal.

Israel’s military said they had intercepted two suspicious drones that approached Israel from Lebanon and Iraq on Wednesday morning.

It said one drone was launched from Lebanon over the Mediterranean Sea near the coast of northern Israel, while another was launched from Iraq and intercepted by Israeli fighter jets. No injuries or damage were reported.

The Foreign Office also updated its travel advice to include information on the explosion of communication devices, saying British nationals in Lebanon should exercise caution and that hospitals may be very busy.

Christmas in Almería capital is coming forward to November with the lighting and this “spectacular” tunnel

The Almería City Council is once again, once again, moving forward the clock hands and will activate the magic of the Christmas festivities in the month of November with the lighting of the extraordinary lighting that the capital will celebrate on the evening of the 29th with a light and colour show, yet to be announced, and also with another “spectacular” element of which there are already more than concrete clues. It is a giant tunnel, approximately 12 metres high by 9 metres wide, in the shape of a cross and with a central dome that will reach 14 metres in height.

It is one of the structures whose rental the City Council has just put out to tender together with the installation of the extraordinary lighting of the main streets of the city, as well as the Christmas market. The Department of Culture and Major Festivals has not even taken a short break after the celebration of the Fair, being immersed in the preparations for the great winter event with these first contracts.

With a budget of 249,260 euros, the first of the contracts for the supply, on a rental basis, as well as the installation, in the Plaza de la Catedral in Almería, of a lighting structure is being put out to tender. This will offer a “novel” lighting and musical show to the citizens and visitors of the city of Almería during the Christmas holidays, explained the Councillor for Culture, Diego Cruz, about this tunnel that the specifications define as “spectacular”.

“We want, as has happened in previous years, that this element installed in this s**ce becomes an attraction and reference for the next Christmas holidays, making use of the most efficient new technologies for this purpose”, said the municipal official.

The characteristics described are the minimum that the tunnel and the show must have, which will consist of the emission of lighting and sound effects, the aim of which will be to create an immersive environment for the spectator.

The City Council wants to offer at least three daily shows, each lasting at least eight minutes, in accordance with the schedules and calendars indicated by the municipal technical services.

The streets and squares with extraordinary lighting
To this contract, the City Council will add one more year the extraordinary Christmas lighting, with a budget that amounts on this occasion to 266,200 euros in its tender phase. In this section, as regards the supply of lighting elements, motifs and arches (between five and eight metres) are included, extended along the main streets of the city centre, as well as different motifs that will be placed in emblematic points of the city (a large 18-metre fir tree, almond trees between 4 and 8 metres high, images of the Three Wise Men, Christmas balls, candles...).

According to the terms of this contract, the bidders may make proposals for improvements to the contract, in order to extend the number of Christmas motifs installed in the city. Among the municipal s**ces that are also the subject of this tender is the Central Market.

Paseo de Almería, Obispo Orberá, Puerta Purchena, Javier Sanz, Reyes Católicos, Marqués de Comillas, Avda de la Estación, San Francisco de Asís, Jovellanos, Real and Tiendas are the streets that will have special lighting along with Navarro Rodrigo, Concepción Arenal, Pedro Jover, Avenida Pablo Iglesias, Trajano and Eduardo Pérez, Juan Lirola and Castelar.

The list is completed by the squares of San Sebastián, Tomatito, Virgen del Mar, Pierre de Coubertin and Las Velas (Rambla), in addition to the aforementioned square of the Cathedral with the tunnel. The list contemplated in the specifications includes the roundabouts of Cable Inglés and Alcaldía (Prestorium building), as well as the park of the Station.

The Plaza de la Constitución (Plaza Vieja) is not on the list of lighting since it is under construction.

The Christmas market will have 77 stalls on the Rambla
Along with the extraordinary lighting and the installation of the light and sound tunnel, the Almería City Council has also published the tender for the contract to supply 77 wooden stalls for the assembly of the Christmas Market that is set up in the city for Christmas. The tender budget in this case amounts to 106,845.49 euros. The stalls, intended for street sales of Christmas goods, will be set up on Federico García Lorca Avenue. “With the lighting and Christmas Market, we aim to contribute, along with the rest of the municipal programme that is being worked on, to boosting tourism and commerce in the city and promoting economic activity on these important dates, making this section an attraction for residents and visitors,” concluded the municipal head of the Culture Department, Diego Cruz.

The cabins will be made up of removable panels made of fir wood sheets (or similar), tongue and groove, with exterior decoration and fireproof treatment. Each cabin will have an electrical panel, power outlets and interior lighting and an individual locking system that is “easy to carry out, without the need for any type of help or extraordinary mechanism outside the cabin system itself,” the City Council requires in its contract.

Video of the day. This afternoon we were live on national TV channel Tele Cinco (the Spanish equivalent of Sky News) as they were filming about how the Brits are celebrating the coronation of King Charles III tomorrow. It was a good bit of fun but the interviewer quite rightly only let my youngest daughter and wife speak. He quickly realized I’ve got a face and voice best suited to radio!!! 😀🇪🇸❤️🇪🇸😀 Video Credit.
