MALAGA CITY
Why fix a problem when you can throw money at it? Vox calls the scholarship proposal “absurd” as a “formula to stop the migratory invasion” of Ceuta: {Trans}
– The municipal group Vox in Malaga assured this Thursday that it will take advantage of the State of the City Debate to demand that the mayor, Francisco de la Torre, give explanations for his “absurd and irresponsible proposal to finance a scholarship program so that Moroccans do not invade Ceuta”.
– This was stated this Thursday by the spokesperson for the municipal group Vox in Malaga, Antonio Alcázar, who reiterated the criticism in relation to “the hypocritical attitude” of the mayor of Malaga during his visit to Ceuta.
– “We do not understand how De la Torre can be so reckless”, Alcázar warned, while asking him “Do you really believe that the solution to an invasion of tens of thousands of illegals is to finance a scholarship program for Moroccans?”
– In his opinion, “such a proposal can only be described as absurd and irresponsible. The invasion of Ceuta is not fought by giving more money to the Moroccans, but by deploying the Army on our borders and ending all the call-effect policies defended by the Government of Pedro Sánchez and, as we see, also by De la Torre.
– Likewise, Alcázar has announced that Vox will demand that De la Torre explain his proposal in the State of the City Debate and “why he prioritizes Moroccans over Malaga residents”. “The mayor asks that Europe pay scholarships for Moroccans. And why don’t you demand that this money be allocated to young people from Malaga? The national priority that we defend at Vox is precisely that, allocating resources first to the Spanish people”, stated the Vox spokesperson at the Malaga City Council.

RINCÓN DE LA VICTORIA
The police chief of Rincón de la Victoria believes that someone from within the force stole the pistols: {Trans, summary}
– Tensions rose at the Rincón de la Victoria Town Hall during an extraordinary plenary session requested by the opposition. The Chief Inspector of the Local Police, Francisco Javier Casanova , appeared before the municipal council to explain the disappearance of four regulation pistols from inside the station, pointing directly at the officers themselves.
– The weapons were discovered missing during the last routine inspection. Of the 73 pistols assigned to the force, 12 could not be inspected in person. Seven of these belonged to officers on temporary leave, but of the remaining five that were supposed to be kept in storage, only one could be located.
– “Almost certainly, whoever stole them is a member of my staff,” the police commander stated emphatically, visibly shaken by what he described as “extremely serious” events. During his statement, Casanova outlined the investigators’ main hypothesis: the weapons were stolen and may still be hidden within the headquarters itself .

IMMIGRATION IN SPAIN
Twelve migrants arrested in Ceuta after ambushing four soldiers: {Trans}
– A group of 30 to 40 migrants attacked an unarmored vehicle with large stones in Benzú, injuring four officers during a night of riots in the autonomous city.
– The incident, which occurred around 5:30 a.m. this Thursday, left the soldiers injured and their vehicle significantly damaged. This event took place amidst a night of unrest and tension in the autonomous city , where security forces also had to intervene on El Trampolín and Benítez beaches to contain a group of Ceuta residents who intended to attack migrants.
– According to police sources consulted by EFE, the attack occurred when a group of 30 to 40 people surrounded the unarmored military vehicle and began throwing large stones. The soldiers, belonging to the General Command of Ceuta, were heading to a checkpoint after passing the traffic lights in Benzú. The report, first published by El Faro de Ceuta , details how the attackers emerged from different locations to intercept the vehicle, forcing the soldiers to abandon it and flee on foot towards Calamocarro.
– Despite their attempt to flee, the four soldiers were pursued and caught by the assailants, who continued to throw stones at them and even struck them. After a call to 112, officers from the National Police and the Civil Guard were quickly mobilized. This rapid response led to the arrest of 12 Moroccan nationals involved in the attack. Some of the alleged attackers tried to escape by jumping into the sea, requiring the intervention of the Civil Guard’s Maritime Service for their search and subsequent arrest.
– The soldiers were taken to a medical centre for treatment. They had bruises and various ailments, mainly in their arms and backs, as a result of the attack. The military vehicle sustained significant damage from the impact of the stones. According to the Ceuta newspaper, the detainees are between 35 and 40 years old , providing a demographic profile of those involved in this serious incident.

The Government reverses course and rules out sports centres as a place to house migrants in Ceuta: {Trans, summary}
– Hundreds of Ceuta residents took to the streets for the second consecutive day to protest the government’s handling of the situation and to express their opposition to the Executive’s proposed use of municipal sports centres to house migrants. This opposition was supported by Ceuta’s president, Juan Jesús Vivas, who warned that he would use “all means” at his disposal to prevent it. “If they try to use them, they’ll have to get me and anyone who comes with me out of them,” he added.
– Faced with this opposition, the government reversed its decision, and the Minister of Territorial Policy and sole commander of the emergency response, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced that Ceuta’s sports centres would be removed from the list of facilities potentially suitable for housing thousands of migrants.

Tension on the third day of protests in Ceuta- demonstrators break into and burn migrant settlements: {Trans, summary}
– Violence has begun to mar the demonstrations organized by residents, who use WhatsApp and Telegram groups to demand solutions. This happened on Wednesday and again on Thursday, as residents took to the streets for the third consecutive day to protest the situation.
– The protesters broke through the police cordon towards Benítez beach, entering the migrant encampments where people sleep overnight and causing damage, including burning belongings, which prompted police charges. These protesters unfurled a giant Spanish flag and, along with other residents who joined them from previous demonstrations, headed towards Trampolín beach, where the Spanish Red Cross was distributing food.

Protesters block access for a Red Cross truck distributing food in Ceuta- “They won’t move us from this road!”: {Trans, summary}
– Hundreds of Ceuta residents blocked access for more than two hours on Thursday to Trampolín beach, where the organization is distributing food to migrants who have been there since the mass arrival on July 30, in a peaceful protest to demand a solution to the migration situation from the Government.
– The demonstrators, many carrying Spanish and Ceuta flags, chanted slogans such as “They won’t move us from this road!” and expressed their discontent with the prolonged situation, which they claim is disrupting the daily lives of residents and generating a growing sense of insecurity. The protest proceeded without incident, and the demonstrators maintained their position despite the police presence. During the demonstration, there were also criticisms of the Red Cross and calls to boycott its vouchers, in protest against the assistance it provides to immigrants settled in various parts of the city.

EUROPE
Russia redeploys a large warship to the Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar: {Trans, summary}
– A large Russian Navy warship is returning to the Mediterranean this Thursday after an absence of approximately two months, passing through the Strait of Gibraltar. The anti-submarine destroyer Admiral Levchenko is leading a group of three other ships and is expected to transit the strait during the day. The group also includes the cargo ship Sparta , the tanker General Skobelev, and the replenishment ship Akademik Pashin. The four ships were located on August 24 off the Spanish coast, sailing south after departing from Baltiysk in the Baltic Sea in the middle of the month. The group’s listed destination is Port Said, Egypt , although this information doesn’t allow for a definitive determination of its final destination. In similar circumstances last April the ships bypassed Egypt and ultimately sailed to Tartus, Syria.
– The main significance of this move lies in the return of a large Russian warship to the Mediterranean, after the frigates Admiral Kasatonov and Akademik Pashin left the area on June 30. The departure of those ships left Russia, for the first time in approximately a decade, without a permanent naval presence in the Mediterranean.
– For now, there is no official confirmation regarding the group’s final destination . What is expected is that the Admiral Levchenko and its three accompanying ships will reach the Strait of Gibraltar this Thursday and, if they complete the transit, will re-establish the Russian Navy’s presence in the Mediterranean.

Russia warns of attacks on UK targets in response to Kyiv’s use of British missiles: {Trans, summary}
– Russian authorities stated this Thursday that the country could attack UK targets in response to the use by Ukrainian forces of British missiles to bomb Russian territory, which is why they have asked London to stay out of it and “leave aside their hostile actions”.
– The spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, denounced during a press conference London’s “aggressive stance towards Moscow”, which “could lead to an increase in violence and a worsening of the conflict until reaching a new level”.
– “We ask all residents of the United Kingdom to consider that there will be catastrophic and inevitable consequences derived from the actions of their own Government and we urge the country’s authorities to analyze the situation in depth and abandon this hostile and aggressive policy that only prolongs the agony of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime and creates escalation dangers”, he noted.
– In this sense, he clarified that “it has already been warned repeatedly that any British equipment and installation in Ukraine and outside the country can be targeted in the event of a response to the attacks that Kyiv perpetrates with British weapons against our territory”.

Russia threatens to attack British factories:
– Russia has threatened to attack British factories after the UK gave Ukraine the blueprints to build its own Storm Shadow missiles.
– Andrei Fedorov, a powerful adviser to Vladimir Putin, said Moscow would not “100 per cent exclude” the possibility of “semi-military action” against the manufacturers supplying drone and missile components to Kyiv. Western intelligence sources told The Telegraph that Russia had already launched a fresh wave of covert attacks against European armament factories.
– Although Mr Fedorov did not explicitly say how Moscow would attack, he suggested that a producer of drones or Storm Shadow missile components could be targeted in a cyber-attack by “unknown sources”.
– He then made the threat against British factories, explaining that “semi-military” action meant that “something might happen with enterprises, with the factories which are producing drones for Ukraine”. “They could be attacked, not by Russia, but by … from unknown sources,” Mr Fedorov said.
– During the Newsnight interview, he said the Prime Minister’s Storm Shadow decision was considered by Moscow to be “direct military involvement” in the war, which he claimed had moved “beyond Ukrainian borders”.
– The vulnerability of British industry to cyber-attacks by malign actors has recently come into focus, with The Telegraph revealing on Saturday that hackers linked to the Iranian regime had shut down a power plant for four days.

GASTRONOMIA
This is the menu from seven Michelin-starred chefs for the 70th anniversary of the Bull of El Puerto: {Trans}
– On the occasion of the 70 years of the Bull watching over our roads, the Osborne firm proposes, in the Mora wineries in El Puerto, with the Toro Tapas team of Enrique Amado, a menu of national selection by Spanish chefs. The fourth edition of Saborea Osborne, which can be enjoyed on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, offers 7 decades, 7 bites. Seven courses with some of the great names of our current gastronomy, from the local Ángel León to the most promising chef at this time, the man from Ávila, Carlos Casillas, or the veteran from San Sebastián, Pedro Subijana.
– It is a collective recipe book full of identity, emotion and a profound respect for the product in a unique homage, paired with wines from Cádiz by Osborne and Rioja wines from Montecillo, with live ambient music in the paradisiacal garden of the wineries.
– The journey through this anthology of flavours begins with Ángel León, “the chef of the sea” (el chef del mar) and his pickled fig with plankton, where the aromas of the land of El Puerto and its sea intertwine. Plankton is one of his signature discoveries – he uses it dried or as a paste to add an intense, briny, umami-rich flavour that tastes like the essence of the ocean.
– The principal ambassador of Spanish cuisine in London, the Extremaduran José Pizarro, offers artichokes with ham and egg yolk, a nod to the welcoming spirit of the traditional bars and to the devotion to Cinco Jotas Iberian ham.
– The young Carlos Casillas (Barro, in Ávila) surprises with his spider crab omelette, a suggestive reinterpretation of northern cooking with his personal vision.
– The historic master Pedro Subijana proposes one of his classics, whole red mullet, with sauces and various preparations.
– The Valencian Begoña Rodrigo synthesises the identity of our universal cuisine with this version of Valencian paella, turning the courtyard of Toro Tapas into an extension of La Albufera.
– The savoury finale is completed by the three-Michelin-starred Asturian chef Nacho Manzano (Casa Marcial), with a suggestive creation of pork shoulder, codium butter and pickles. Codium is a type of green seaweed (often called “spongeweed” or “green sea fingers”) that grows on rocky coastlines, including the cliffs of northern Spain that Nacho Manzano’s dish evokes. It has a delicate, briny flavour with a slight cucumber-like freshness and a satisfyingly crunchy texture when fresh.The juiciness and unctuousness {Yes, that is a correctly spelled culinary term. Pronounced: unctuousness = UNK-choo-us-ness -Ed.} of the Cinco Jotas meat is balanced with nuances that transport one to the cliffs of the North.
– As a closing to the menu, Rodrigo de la Calle (El Invernadero) deploys his vegetable mastery with a refreshing melon and apricot pannacotta, a summer dessert to culminate the evening among cocktails and music in the night of El Puerto.

– Sunday Service:
Whether you live in Nerja or are visiting our area, you are very welcome to come and join us on Sundays at 11.00am. Join us for a time of Holy Spirit led worship and experience the presence of our God. Our teaching is Bible based as we honour God and obey His Word. During this time of uncertainty, God’s Word reminds us that the Gospel shines brightest in times of darkness. Our service lasts for about 1 hour and 30 mins. With Tea and Coffee afterwards.
– Prayer Meeting:
You are also welcome to join our prayer meetings on Wednesday mornings at 11.00am for 1 hour, where we meet for prayer and worship.
