The robber with the BB gun from Huércal: convicted for assaulting a taxi driver and a waiter

A judge from Almería has imposed sentences totalling 20 months and 30 days in prison on a robber who assaulted a taxi driver and a waiter on the same night, using a BB gun that appeared to be real.

The accused himself admitted during the oral hearing that events began at around half past three in the morning on 6 November, when he had a taxi driver take him to the end of Calle Río Guadiana in Huércal de Almería.

This street had no exit, a circumstance that the man took advantage of to point a gun at the taxi driver's chest, demanding all the money he had on him: in total, 120 euros from the takings from his shift that the victim gave to the defendant.

Ten minutes after fleeing the place, the accused went to a nightclub located on the Torrecárdenas slope, where he began to "aggressively" ask a waiter to buy him a drink.

When the worker refused, the accused left the establishment, but returned fifteen minutes later with a hood over his face and with the gun he had used to rob the taxi driver.

In this way, he demanded the money from the cash register from the waiter, but instead of giving it to him, a struggle began between the two. Finally, and despite the worker's attempts to restrain him, the accused managed to escape from the place.

The ruling explains that the gun used in both cases by this man was a BB gun, although it "perfectly simulated" being real, and as exonerating factors for his actions it points out that before the trial this suspect had already deposited 120 euros to compensate the taxi driver, as well as that the defendant is addicted to narcotics, so that on that day his intellectual and volitional faculties were slightly altered.

Thus, he has been sentenced to two sentences of 10 months and 15 days for two crimes of robbery with violence, one in degree of attempt, although these have been suspended for three years on condition that he does not reoffend during this period.

Pope to be admitted to hospital for bronchitis

The Pope has had several bouts of bronchitis in recent years
Pope Francis will be admitted to hospital in Rome to undergo treatment and tests for bronchitis, the Vatican has said.

The 88-year-old will arrive at the Gemelli hospital after his morning audiences on Friday, a short statement said.

The Pope has had bronchitis symptoms for several days and has delegated officials to read his prepared speeches at recent events.

"This morning, after his audiences, Pope Francis will be admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic for necessary diagnostic tests and to continue hospital treatment for his ongoing bronchitis," the statement said.

On Wednesday, the Pope asked a priest to read part of his speech because of his difficulties with the illness.

"Let me ask the priest to continue to read, because I cannot yet, with my bronchitis. I hope that next time I can," the 88-year-old said shortly after starting the speech.

He had also asked aides to read on his behalf at a mass on Sunday and at last Wednesday's general audience.

He held meetings at his Vatican residence last week in an attempt to rest and recover.

The Pope was treated for bronchitis at the same hospital in March 2023, spending three nights there.

In December the same year, he was forced to cancel his trip to the United Arab Emirates for the COP28 climate summit because of another bout of illness.

The Argentine pontiff has spent nearly 12 years as leader of the Roman Catholic Church.

He has suffered a number of health issues throughout his life, including having part of one of his lungs removed at age 21.

King set to use America's 250th birthday for official visit to US

A State Visit to the US by King Charles and Queen Camilla has been earmarked for 2026 as the UK government attempts to capitalise on Donald Trump's affection for the Royal Family.

It’s understood that very early discussions are underway on both sides of the Atlantic and the new UK Ambassador in Washington, Lord Peter Mandelson has been tasked with making it happen.

Whilst Downing Street is keen to get the ball rolling as soon as possible, it’s thought a visit this year will not be possible - as royal staff try to manage the competing demands on the King’s diary.

It means Spring 2026 is now looking like the most likely date for a Royal Tour to North America, which could take in both Canada and the United States.

Next year will mark the 250th anniversary of America’s Declaration of Independence in 1776.

A Semiquincentennial Commission has been set up to arrange the largest anniversary celebrations in US history.

In a bizarre twist, those commemorations could include a visit from the Monarch of the country from which America won its hard fought fight for independence.

King Charles is a descendant of George III – often referred to as the last ‘King of America’ and the target of much ridicule in the hit musical Hamilton.

Charles’ great-grandmother Queen Mary (wife of George V) was the great granddaughter of King George III.

Historical comparisons aside, a visit by the King and Queen would delight Trump, who’s made no secret of his admiration of, and respect for, the British Royal Family.

Much of that passion comes from his mother, Mary Anne, who was born in Scotland and, despite moving to the US, was always fascinated by Queen Elizabeth.

President Trump spoke about his respect for the Royals during his first phone conversation with Keir Starmer after taking office.

Given the uncertainty around trade tariffs and the UK’s position outside the EU, the prime minister believes the Royal Family could be a real asset when it comes to smoothing relations between London and Washington.

In any event, all royal visits are organised in consultation with the Foreign Office and are carried out “on behalf of His Majesty’s Government” to reflect the priorities of ministers.

As President-elect, Trump paid a special visit to the British embassy in Paris in December, to meet Prince William – who was also in the French capital for the official reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral.

Trump called the Prince of Wales “very handsome” and said the heir to the throne was doing a “fantastic job”.

Of course, campaigning to protect the environment by both King Charles and Prince William will put them at odds with Donald “drill, baby, drill” Trump, but those differences have been overcome before and may well be so again.

An official visit to Washington DC, and a ceremonial welcome at the White House, would ensure the royal visit would be anchored on the east coast of America, avoiding awkward questions about the King going to California to visit Harry and Meghan while he is Stateside.

Despite the King’s on-going cancer treatment, senior palace aides seem confident that the King and Queen will be fit and well enough to make the US trip in 2026.

Buckingham Palace has already announced an official visit to Italy and the Holy See in April but all other future royal tours are in the process of being confirmed.

Man arrested in Huércal-Overa while trying to load more than a ton and a half of stolen copper

The Civil Guard has arrested a person in Huércal-Overa while trying to load more than a ton and a half of copper, valued at 50,000 euros, from more than two kilometres of telephone line cable, into two vehicles.

The arrested person, a resident of Albacete with a history of similar robberies in Madrid and Valladolid, is accused of robbery and belonging to a criminal group. The intervention, carried out with the collaboration of the Local Police of Huércal-Overa, has allowed "the material to be recovered and its transfer to be thwarted".

According to the armed institute in a statement, the action began after 0.30 hours on 19 January, when an off-duty Civil Guard alerted a patrol from the main post of Huércal-Overa about the presence of two suspicious vehicles in an isolated area between the Huércalovero municipality and the hamlet of Almajaleo.

Upon arriving at the scene, the officers noticed that at least six people fled upon detecting the police presence and took advantage of the darkness and the topography of the terrain to "make their location difficult, which led the officers to organize a search."

Given the aggressiveness of the fugitives, who threw large stones from different points, the patrol requested reinforcements from the Civil Guard of Albox and the Local Police of Huércal-Overa.

Upon resuming the search, the officers found several accumulations of cut copper cable, stacked and ready to be loaded into the vehicles, where they also found more copper cable along with other items.

Also, hidden among the vegetation, they located a person dressed in black, with gloves and a pair of panties covering his face, "who spontaneously stated that he had gone to the place with some friends to collect copper."

The Civil Guard has therefore launched an investigation in which it will analyse the vehicles and objects seized in order to identify and locate the rest of the people involved.

Huércal-Overa invites its residents to take a tour of its history this Sunday

This Sunday, February 16, a very special activity will take place for lovers of Almería history: the Department of Tourism is organizing a guided tour of the 19th century present in various locations and buildings in the municipality of Huércal-Overa. This tour is key to understanding the present of the municipality since "it is in those years when the physiognomy of the town that can be seen today is outlined, which allows us to know and understand from our past the reality of our present," says the Councilor for Tourism, Juani Egea.

The walk will begin at 11:00 a.m. in the Plaza de la Constitución, one of the most representative points of the municipality, located in the heart of its old town next to the Church of Santa María, the Central Market and the old Huercalense town hall and which was restored in 2021 as part of a pedestrianization process in the center of the town. In this space, an introduction and contextualisation of the historical period will be carried out, starting with the buildings located in the square itself, such as the municipal granary, originally built in the 18th century after a donation from the local farmers, which had to be abandoned at the end of the 19th century "due to its many debts".

The participants will move to other key points for the cultural and social development of the town such as the Plaza del Cura Valera, Calle Sepulcro or Paseo de la Alameda. The group will also stop at the headquarters of the Huercalense Town Hall, the former Palace of Justice and one of the two provincial headquarters of the Criminal Court at the end of the 19th century, offered to the town thanks to its economic and population boom after the improvement of road communications and also due to the inauguration of the railway and telegraph stations. The growth of Huércal-Overa during this period boosted its cultural and social influence and led to the creation of associations such as the Casino Principal or the Cooperativa Cultural, whose headquarters will also be visited during the route.

If there is one thing that Huércal-Overa is known for, it is its Holy Week. It was during the 19th century when its processions were finally consolidated and when they acquired the relevance that they still maintain today and, therefore, key points of the religious culture of the town will also be visited during this route, for example, the Hermitage of San Juan or that of Santiago Apóstol. Other points of social and cultural relevance such as the Cervantes Theatre or the fairgrounds will also be a reason for a break during the tour that will end at the water tanks next to the bus station, built in 1882 and considered one of the first modern water tanks in the province of Almería.

The exclusive VIP funeral home in Almería built around a garden and with guaranteed privacy

Although the reason why we go to this type of facility is never a dish of good taste, funeral homes and funeral parlours play a fundamental role in some of the most complicated moments that we all experience throughout our lives.

This makes them buildings that are more than known by their neighbours, although there are some exceptions. This is the case, for example, of the ‘VIP’ funeral home that is located on the large ground floor of an avant-garde residence in Vera.

There, around a garden from which impressive plants sprout that reach several floors high, a funeral home is distributed like few others in the province, with views of this green area from practically each of the rooms that make up this space managed by the renowned company ‘Collyfer’.

These are facilities prepared with the latest technology and services and, above all, with all the possible comforts in this type of service. Not only because of the comforting views of the garden and its almost 360-degree layout around it, but also because of all the comfort it offers, including, obviously due to its exceptional location, the possibility of holding an intimate wake for our loved ones.

In this way, Collyfer has positioned itself at the forefront of its sector with practically each of the initiatives and projects they launch. It is worth remembering that just a few months ago, last year 2024, the company presented its new crematorium located in Huércal-Overa, which will involve the creation of unique services, to such an extent that some of them are offered for the first time in Spain.

Since then, the Huercalense municipality has been home to Collyfer's new and avant-garde crematorium, with facilities that are set to revolutionize funeral services in the southeast of the peninsula thanks to its innovative proposal, a pioneer in the way in which Spaniards understand death.

Among many other new features, the new facilities, which are located on the road to Santa María de Nieva and have a total area of ​​3 and a half hectares, offer a large car park, the new crematorium with a chapel with screens and the possibility of broadcasting the ceremony in streaming for relatives who cannot attend, an indoor columbarium, an area set up for catering and an outdoor space called the Tree of Life.

Here, families will be able to bury the urns of their loved ones and inscribe the name of their relatives in the form of a leaf on this Tree of Life. In the future phases that will be opened, there will be a beautiful pond where the ashes can be poured, as well as different gardens - with almond trees, olive trees or pine trees - which will always be cared for by professionals, where the ecological urns can be buried.

These facilities are added to other exclusive ones located in a space in the heart of the city of Vera that also offer privacy for the family and services that very few facilities of this type are able to provide in such delicate moments throughout, at least, the southeast of Spain.

Endangered giraffe born in Almería

Last May, MiniHollywood Oasys was in mourning for the death of Rita, a tigress who had lived in the theme park for the last 20 years. Now, the animal reserve located in Tabernas is celebrating life: a new specimen has been born, and not just any one.

MiniHollywood Oasys has experienced a historic and extremely special day with the birth of a Rothschild giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi), one of the most endangered subspecies in the world. "After 28 years of the park's history, our first large herbivore has been born. We are very excited and attentive to it," said José María Rodríguez, director of the park, with emotion.

The arrival of this baby has been a complete surprise for the team, who were expecting it to be born in a few weeks, but this morning, upon arriving at the park, they saw the wonderful novelty, strong and standing. This has meant that, from the very first minute, the entire team was attentive to her, giving her all the necessary care so that she felt welcome in her new home.

This great event is a great hope for the conservation of this species, of which there are only a few hundred specimens left in the wild.

The birth
The birth took place in the park's breeding group, made up of a male and two females. Her mother, Khalessi, arrived at MiniHollywood Oasys in 2021 from Denmark and, after 15 months of gestation, gave birth to a strong and healthy baby. It is estimated that the baby was born with a weight close to 100 kg and a height of between 1.80 and 2 meters, an essential size for it to be able to suckle properly.

MiniHollywood Oasys is part of the Rothschild Giraffe Conservation Programme, coordinated by EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums), which aims to increase the number of specimens of this subspecies through captive breeding and contribute to its preservation.

Rothschild giraffes are unmistakable for their large size and their coat with lighter and more separated spots than those of other subspecies. Adult males can reach between 5 and 6 metres in height, while females easily reach 4 metres. As for their weight, they can exceed 1,200 kg, making them the tallest land mammals in the world.

But there is something that makes Rothschild giraffes much more special and that is that, unlike other subspecies, they have five ossicones (horns) on their heads. Two are located on the top, one on the forehead and the other two behind the ears, it is undoubtedly a unique feature that sets them apart from the rest.

The birth of this giraffe is great news for biodiversity and reaffirms MiniHollywood Oasys' commitment to the conservation of endangered species. For the next few days, the new arrival will remain under the care of the park's experts, while it adapts to its new home.

This event is not only a cause for celebration within the park, but also represents an important step in the fight for the preservation of Rothschild's giraffes.

The Bank of England gold rush that's pushing up the price

Deep under the Bank of England, in a network of vaults into which cameras are rarely admitted, sits the world's second biggest known trove of gold.

Once upon a time the Bank's vaults stored bullion owned by the Crown but these days they serve mostly as a repository for other central banks and private banks that want to hold on to this critical asset.

But in recent weeks fears have been raised that the vaults are slowly being emptied - leading to other fears, that the Bank is struggling to keep up with the outflow. All of which raises a somewhat ominous question: is the Bank of England running out of gold?

Well, now the governor has told Sky News that there is no shortage of gold left inside the central bank's vaults, though he acknowledged that billions of pounds of bullion had left and been flown across the Atlantic in recent months.

The movements are a symptom of a deeper financial issue. Traders are fretting about the possibility of Donald Trump imposing tariffs on movements of precious metals into the US. The pre-emptive trades have seen a sudden sharp rise in the amount of gold held in New York, not just from London but also from elsewhere around the world.

However, repatriating gold is no simple matter. Moving it in and out of vaults takes time, not to mention security, and the gold rush has led to a shortage of logistics options. Adding to the complexity is the fact that the Bank's vaults are not really designed to cater for large-scale inflows and outflows - so simply getting bars isn't easy.

Last week, deputy governor Dave Ramsden said: "Gold is a physical asset. So there are real logistical constraints and security constraints. It takes time and the stuff is also quite heavy, as you know."

The upshot is there is a multi-week wait for anyone wanting to remove gold from the Bank, which in turn has pushed up the price of gold in London.

Talking to Sky News last week, Andrew Bailey said: "London is a very important gold market. We have seen a movement in the relative price of gold in London and New York in recent times. And that is causing some gold to be moved to New York. Not vast: it's under 2% of our stock.

"Obviously you have to have a lot of security and a lot of insurance around moving gold. So you can't just put it all on the back of a lorry and take it away. So it has to be planned.

"So there are constraints, because of physical constraints. But we've got slots for all the gold people want to move in and out."

Asked where there was still plenty of gold left in the Bank of England, the governor said: "There's still plenty of gold."

Adrian Ash, director of research at precious metals marketplace BullionVault, said: "There is a shortage in London's bullion market, but it's a shortage of manpower and trucks. New York, in contrast, now has a glut of gold.

"This is a financial market phenomenon. It's helped juice prices higher, but it hasn't had any real impact on the availability of metal. And it will, most likely in due course, all come back out again.

"London remains the centre of the world's gold trading and storage network. Short-term bottlenecks are nothing new, and they just to serve to highlight the underlying physical reality of the global gold market.

"Longer-term however, the Bank of England's role as a custody for foreign central banks wanting to tap the London market may be dented. It's already seen stockpiles edge lower in recent years, even amid a surge of emerging-market central bank buying, as reserves managers worry over sanctions and other political risks vis-à-vis the West versus the Rest."

More than half plan to spend on Valentine’s Day – survey

More than half of the public intend to spend money on a spouse or partner this Valentine’s Day, with men marginally more likely than women to mark the occasion, a survey suggests.

Just over a quarter of people (27%) intend to take their partner out for a Valentine’s Day meal, 19% will send a card, 10% will buy flowers or drinks out and 4% are planning a trip away, the poll for the British Retail Consortium (BRC) found.

Some 65% of 18- to 34-year-olds said they would be spending money on their significant other, compared with 57% of 35- to 54-year-olds, dipping to 39% of the over 55s.

Some 55% of men are planning to spend on the occasion compared with 49% of women, while those in London are the most likely geographically to spend money at 64% compared with 39% of those in the South West.

Kris Hamer, director of insight at the BRC, said: “Valentine’s Day is an important moment for millions of couples. Whether it’s dinner out, or a card and flowers, many lovebirds will be looking to spend a little extra this Friday.

“Retailers, restaurants and bars have all been preparing for weeks to make sure Valentine’s Day is a little extra special for all their customers.

“It is an important day for the high streets too, with an important spending bump in the week leading up to the big day. So whether it’s chocolates, flowers, or something else, retailers are making sure there is something for everybody this Friday.”

Three guilty of plot to blackmail family of Michael Schumacher

Three men have been convicted by a German court of trying to blackmail the family of ex-Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher.

Yilmaz T, 53, was jailed for three years for threatening to upload 900 personal photos, almost 600 videos and confidential medical records to the dark web unless the Schumacher family paid €15m (£12m).

His 30-year-old son was given a six-month suspended sentence for aiding and abetting extortion. A former security guard at Schumacher's home, who denied any involvement, received a two-year suspended sentence.

Schumacher has not been seen in public since a 2013 ski accident which resulted in serious brain injuries. His family have kept his medical condition private.

The father and son had admitted most of the charges and Yilmaz T, a nightclub bouncer in Constance in southern Germany, told the court that what he had done was "very, very disgusting".

"I realised that on the second day in prison. I will answer for it."

In his confession he said he had received two hard drives from the security guard, Markus F, who was accused of passing the sensitive files for a "five figure sum".

One hard drive is believed never to have been recovered.

The judge blamed the security guard for allowing the blackmail attempt to start. The Schumacher family's lawyer said they would challenge his suspended sentence.

Markus F had been working for the family 18 months before Schumacher's ski accident.

According to the defence, Schumacher's wife Corinna had asked him to digitise the family's private photos. They argued that the material went missing after his contract was terminated.

The court heard that the father and son had emailed the Schumacher family samples of the stolen files.

Recordings of phone calls made to the Schumacher family were also played in court.

In one of these conversations, Yilmaz T told the family that rather than trying to blackmail them, he was offering to act as a broker in returning the files and identifying their source in what he called a "clean deal".

The family alerted local authorities in Switzerland who tracked the source of the threat to Germany and the three men were arrested in June 2024.

The Schumachers' lawyer, Thilo Damm, said the sentences were too lenient for what was the "ultimate betrayal" and they planned to appeal.

"We do not agree with everything the court said. You can rest assured that we will exhaust all legal possibilities at our disposal," he said.

He also voiced concern that a hard drive remained missing despite multiple searches of the defendants' properties.

"We don't know where the missing hard drive is," Mr Damm said, "I don't have a crystal ball but there is the possibility of another threat through the backdoor."

The most endangered duck in Europe lives in Roquetas and two entities are working to conserve it

ANSE and Serbal have signed a collaboration agreement aimed at the conservation of the marbled teal in the Ribera de la Algaida, a 74-hectare wetland in the municipality of Roquetas de Mar, Almería. This is one of the few areas in Almería where teals have been sighted and their reproduction confirmed.

The marbled teal is the most endangered duck in Europe, being one of the seven species of flora and fauna that are considered to be in critical condition. Among its main threats, the most important is the loss of habitat, with most of the coastal wetlands where it reproduced having disappeared. Specifically, with this agreement, actions are planned to improve its habitat.

Among the planned actions, improvements to the habitat stand out, including the cleaning of waste, the regrowth of artificial islets for nesting and repopulation with native vegetation; the monitoring and study of the Marbled Teal, through censuses and the installation of camera traps; the protection of nesting areas, with signage and restriction of passage to avoid disturbing the fauna, environmental education and volunteering actions, promoting guided routes and citizen awareness activities; the installation of nest boxes to facilitate the reproduction of the species; finally, the monitoring of the fauna and the placement of shelters for bats, which contribute to the natural control of mosquitoes.

The agreement is part of the territory stewardship program of the Life Teal project, a project that precisely aims to reverse the situation in which this species currently finds itself. To do this, actions are carried out in its two main breeding centers, El Hondo and Doñana, and also, and through the stewardship program, in several wetlands with regular presence of the species, such as the Ribera de la Algaida.

The LIFE Marbled Teal project aims to improve the conservation status of 3,000 hectares of wetlands to reverse the risk of extinction of the most endangered duck in Europe, which is in critical condition in Spain. For this reason, it has undertaken a set of actions to strengthen the status of its populations in the natural environment, improve the status of wetlands and scientific knowledge of the species.

The project involves partners such as the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, through the Segura Hydrographic Confederation and Tragsatec; the Regional Government of Andalusia, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Sustainable Development and the Environment and Water Agency; the Generalitat Valenciana; the Government of the Region of Murcia, as well as the organisations SEO/BirdLife and ANSE. It has the contribution of the LIFE Programme of the European Union and the General Directorate of Water.
