SPAIN
Spanish PM Sanchez announces planned gender-parity law:
– Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has announced a plan to pass new legislation to require a more equal representation of women in political, business and public fields. Sanchez was speaking during a rally held by his Socialist Party (PSOE) in Madrid on Saturday. The Equal Representation Law will be up for Cabinet approval on Tuesday ahead of International Women’s Day on March 8. The prime minister described the left-wing coalition government’s plan as “not only taking a step in favor of feminism, but in favor of Spanish society as a whole.”
– The law will demand that listed companies with more than 250 employees and an annual turnover of over €50 million (roughly $53 million) assign women to at least 40% of management roles.
– Women lawmakers currently make up 44% of Congress and 39% of the Senate. The proposed law will require that these are both brought up to 50% with parties obliged to put up an equal number of male and female candidates to stand during elections. It will apply to elections at all levels, from municipal votes to the European Parliament.
– Professional associations and juries that give out awards financed with public money will also have to make sure women make up at least 40% of their boards. Full article: https://www.dw.com/en/spanish-pm-sanchez-announces-planned-gender-parity-law/a-64886359

The tax and criminal incentives of the ‘trans law’ for a man to transition into a woman: {Translation, summary}
– The ‘trans law’ has been in force since last Thursday, following its publication in the BOE (Official State Gazette). A regulation that will allow men and women to change their gender nominally, without the need to undergo surgery and thus physically change their sex. This has caused great controversy among classic feminists, who believe that this legal text erases the rights won by women, as men can now obtain the same rights by going to the civil registry office.
– For example, a man who is physically unfit for the National Police physical tests may be able to get a place as a woman. The marks for men and women are different and even some exercises vary: women are not required to do pull-ups, but to hold on to the bar for as long as possible. In this way, a man who decides to change his gender could take his place from a woman.
– In the case of the Guardia Civil, the problem is even greater: the Ministry of the Interior wants up to 40% of the Guardia Civil to be women by 2030. This means that in order to avoid fierce male competition, some are considering taking the tests through the female route, as they have priority to obtain a post, to the point of gaining access to it even if they have a lower mark.
– Men who want to access subsidies for the self-employed would also benefit in several autonomous communities through a change of registration: women have different conditions to access these subsidies, since, for example, men have a limit of 30 years of age to receive 5,000 euros, while the threshold for women is higher: up to 35 years of age. Those over this age are entitled to a grant of 3,800 euros. Therefore, a 32-year-old man may find it interesting to change sex in order to qualify for a higher amount. In Murcia, age is not taken into account, but men receive 2,000 euros and women 2,500 euros. In Castilla y León this positive discrimination also exists: a self-employed person who moves his or her activity to the region receives 6,000 euros, but this can be increased by a further 2,000 euros if the person applying is a woman.
– In addition, a man might be interested in becoming a woman because many companies receive bonuses for hiring women: in Andalucia, for example, the Junta rewards 6,000 euros for a new hire of someone who is unemployed, a figure that rises to 7,200 euros if the worker is a woman. In Madrid, something similar happens: the subsidies are 3,000 euros for a worker hired from unemployment, although these rise to 4,200 euros if the worker is a woman. In this case, a company could benefit from this aid if it hires a man over 45 years of age. Therefore, a man could change sex to facilitate his access to the world of work.
– In addition, some public institutions have promoted grants that are available to women: the Neotec Women programme of the Ministry of Science and Innovation approved last June a budget of five million euros for projects led by women.
– As for contributory pensions, here too it is more interesting to be a woman than a man. Women receive 30.15 euros per month per child, with a maximum limit of four. This means that a woman can receive a maximum of 120.60 euros more than a man in a pension of this kind.

ANDALUCIA
The DGT begins on Monday a campaign to monitor and control the seat belt: {Translation, summary}
– The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) is launching a special campaign this Monday until 12 March to monitor and control seat belts and child restraint systems (CRS), both on urban and interurban roads in Andalucia.
– To avoid violations and ensure compliance, the Traffic and Road Safety Law has increased the points that are lost for not using the appropriate child restraint system or not using it correctly to four, in the same way as it has been done for not using seat belts, according to a press release.
– The DGT insists that seat belts are also essential in the rear seats, since in the event of a frontal impact, for example, the probability of a rear seat occupant fatally hitting a front passenger can be up to eight times higher.
– In the case of CRS, it is compulsory for children under 1.35 metres tall (around 12 years old) and recommended up to 1.50 metres, approved for their size and weight. In all cases, the diagonal shoulder strap should be across the collarbone over the shoulder and close to the chest, while the lap strap should be as low as possible on the hips. If the shoulder belt touches the neck or passes under the chin, the child should continue to use a booster seat and never ride with the belt under the arm or behind the back.

Junta Proposal- Tourist accommodation regulation in Andalucía to be managed by local councils, new requirements will be introduced, such as having a sound level meter to control noise:
– Tourist rental properties will have to comply with a new regulation that the Junta’s regional minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Arturo Bernal, wants to come into force before next summer. The decree, which is about to go out for public consultation and which updates the requirements of the 2016 decree, would give local councils to power to limit tourist accommodation lets.
– “It is a regulation that aims to control and improve the quality of tourist services. We are not going against any accommodation, but rather to regulate, plan and organise the quality of this service,” Bernal added. Bernal also said that new requirements will be introduced, such as having a sound level meter to control noise. “In the regulation we have introduced significant elements to improve the quality of housing and we are giving neighbourhood associations tools so that they can decide on this activity in their premises or buildings.” Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/tourist-accommodation-regulation-managed-local-councils-20230303142553-nt.html

Atlantic front set to bring rain back to the Costa from Monday this week:
– The rain is set to return to Malaga province. Or at least that is the forecast of Spain’s state weather agency, Aemet, for this coming week. The reason is the arrival of an Atlantic front that will trigger rainfall in large areas of the mainland starting this Sunday, 5 March. But the rain will take a little longer to arrive in Malaga, as the weather front enters from the west of the country and moves to the east.
– By Sunday afternoon there may already be rain in the Huelva, Seville and Cadiz provinces of Andalucía, which would reach Malaga on Monday. It is expected that from noon there will be precipitation in the southern half of the mainland, also accompanied by some storms and even hailstorms. The rainfall will be less intense in the north of Spain this time. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/atlantic-front-set-bring-rain-back-the-20230305071926-nt.html

Prince Harry says psychedelics are ‘fundamental’ part of his life:
– Prince Harry recently spoke openly about his recreational use of psychedelics. The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed during an online chat with trauma expert Gabor Maté Saturday that drugs have helped him deal with his past traumas.
– His choice of inquisitor was controversial as Dr Maté has been roundly criticised for advocating the use of psychedelic drugs including the South American drug ayahuasca, which makes users vomit.
– The Duke of Sussex cheerfully described taking the hallucinogenic ayahuasca, saying it ‘changed me’ and describing it as ‘cleaning the windscreen’ of his troubled mind. Harry also appeared to advocate for illegal drugs, at one point saying: ‘Marijuana really did help me.’ Meghan Markle’s husband recently admitted to taking other drugs — such as cocaine and marijuana — as a teenager in his bombshell book, “Spare,” which was released in January. Harry wrote about trying magic mushrooms while attending a party in the home of actress Courtney Cox. “My mate and I grabbed several, gobbled them, washed them down with tequila,” Harry wrote, before recounting his hallucinations, which included a trash can transforming into a head. “I stepped on the pedal and the head opened its mouth. A huge open grin. I laughed,” he added.

TRAVEL NEWS
EU Citizens Will Have to Apply for a Travel Authorisation to Enter UK by the End of 2024:
– Nationals of the European Union Member States will have to apply for an online travel authorisation in order to be able to travel to the United Kingdom by the end of 2024. Exempt will be only Irish passport holders.
– Since the divorce from the EU that started in 2016 and was finalised in 2020, the government of the UK has continuously looked into ways of strengthening its borders, and security, and one of the ways through which it wants to do that, is the introduction of the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
– The ETA has been introduced through the Nationality and Borders Bill for those passengers who are visiting the UK, as well as those transiting through the country who do not currently need a visa for short stays. The ETA will be obligatory for those who do not already have an immigration status prior to travelling, as well.
– “The scheme will give the UK more control of our borders, allowing us to block threats from entering the UK, whilst also providing individuals, and carriers, with more assurance at an earlier point in time about their ability to travel to the UK,” the UK Home Office notes in a policy paper regarding the ETA.
– It is still unknown what price travellers obtaining a UK ETA will have to pay, however, it will be cheaper than obtaining a UK visa. Full article: https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/eu-citizens-will-have-to-apply-for-a-travel-authorisation-to-enter-uk-by-the-end-of-2024/

Hospital admissions for shingles spiral in Spain: According to a study by Eurosurveillance, the journal published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), the surge in hospitalisations for shingles in Spain constitutes “a public health problem that must be prioritised” by the healthcare authorities. Sanidad has announced plans to vaccinate over-65s and immunosuppressed patients, the two groups in danger of developing more severe health complications from the infection also known as herpes zoster.

SPACE
Elon Musk’s satellites are ruining the view of space telescopes: ‘It’s getting worse’:
– At first glance, one may assume that the images were damaged by a technical glitch: distant galaxies with streaks that cut through them, blank stripes that cover half the picture, lines that dirty entire constellations. But all those astronomical observations, that have been spoiled for science, actually reveal a problem: how the skies are being increasingly filled with artificial satellites from internet companies like Elon Musk’s Starlink. The swarms of devices were already a problem for ground-based observatories, but a recent study found that they also ruin observations from space telescopes, something that is raising concern among astronomers. In 2021, 5.9% of the images captured by the legendary Hubble telescope suffered from this photobombing caused by these artifacts’ trails.
– That same year (when the study’s last measurement was taken) Starlink had deployed about 1,900 satellites. Today, they are close to 3,600, and the number is expected to multiply by 10 – and to reach 100,000 in total, counting those deployed by the competition – by the end of this decade.

SCIENCE
Cosmic Rays Reveal A Hidden Corridor in the Great Pyramid of Giza:
– Archaeologists and physicists on the ScanPyramids project discovered the corridor thanks to an invisible rain of high-energy particles from distant supernovae. These subatomic particles, called cosmic rays (even though they’re made of very fast-moving, tiny bits of matter, not light), are constantly bombarding our planet from space. Rock absorbs cosmic rays; the thicker and denser the layer of rock, the more cosmic rays it absorbs. So by measuring how many cosmic rays make it through a structure like the Great Pyramid, researchers can learn whether there are any empty spaces hidden inside, or if it’s just solid rock.
– In a recent announcement to the press, the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, told reporters that the corridor may have been built to redistribute the weight of millions of massive limestone blocks to take some pressure off other chambers nearby — either the pyramid’s original entrance or other rooms yet to be found. The pyramid’s ancient builders did the same thing with five small rooms above Khufu’s burial chamber. Full article: https://www.inverse.com/science/cosmic-rays-great-pyramid

The Civil Guard warns of a message about the check for 200 euros: what should you do if it reaches your mobile: {Translation}
– The Civil Guard has warned this Friday, through its official Twitter account, of an attempted scam in which cybercriminals impersonate the Tax Agency. “The campaign is a “smishing” campaign, impersonating the Tax Agency. Fraudulent requests are made, to update payment information, in order to receive 200 euros in financial aid from the Government”, says the Benemérita in a tweet. “Don’t bite, the aim of the fraud is to steal personal and banking data,” adds the armed forces, which accompanies a link to the Internet Security Office, where it explains the fraud in detail.
– According to OSI, victims are “all those who have received the fraudulent SMS and provided personal or bank details”.
– “If you have received an SMS with the above characteristics, but have not accessed the link, block it and delete it from your inbox,” the agency recommends.
– If you have accessed the URL and provided your personal and bank card details when you received this message, you should: *Contact your bank to report the incident and block all unauthorised transactions.
*In the coming months, review the movements of your bank account and, in case of any unknown or unauthorised movements, contact your bank immediately to cancel them.
*Change your security codes and credit card PIN as soon as possible.
*Collect all the evidence of the fraud: bank statements, URL of the fraudulent page to which you provided the data and all the information you can provide in order to file a report with the FCSE.
