BOOK RELEASE BY BERKELEY FENNE – “THE RECTIFIER”

THE RECTIFIER – A NOVEL WITH A LOCAL CONNECTION By Axarquia Resident, Berkeley Fenne
After serving in Afghanistan, Bosnia and for the British Government, ex-SAS Army Captain, Stuart Reece, wanted nothing more than to retire to his villa and enjoy a peaceful life, basking in the beauty of southern Spain and spend some time researching the locations where he served and the ‎drug trade from Afghanistan. On one such fine day, he is shot, he survives the attempt to eliminate ‎him. Reece is now determined to find the hitman. He later discovers that what he had begun to ‎uncover was only the tip of the iceberg. Reece starts chasing an international drug trafficking ‎business and all of its tentacles. Thus begins the race to reach the roots of all evil. Travelling ‎through southern Spain to the Balkans, eastern Europe and into Asia, he realises that the hunt was ‎leading him back to where traumatic memories of war and violence had scarred him, in ‎Afghanistan. With the events unfolding, ‘The Rectifier’ brings light to the underworld drug ‎trafficking business, terrorism, and how greed for power and money can shift even those that are ‎our protectors into traffickers and criminals.
The Rectifier is the first of a Trilogy of Stuart Reece thriller books. ‎
Berkeley Fenne A retired senior company director latterly a business consultant, he had provided ‎guidance and support to a variety and diverse range of companies. He designed and delivered a ‎business improvement programme with accompanying reference manual, which inspired the ‎beginning of fiction novel writing. Fenne is a Spanish resident, appreciating the opportunity to write ‎in the pleasant surroundings of southern Spain.

SPAIN

The Senate approves the motion of the PP to force the government to present budgets: {Translation, summary}
– The Senate has given the green light this Tuesday to a motion of the Popular Party that urges the Government to comply with its constitutional duty to present the General State Budget for 2025. The Popular Party announced this weekend its intention to extend the pressure already initiated in Congress to the Executive to move forward with the public accounts, something that has taken place in the plenary session held this morning.
– “The inability to present a budget on time is a reflection of a government without direction, without cohesion and without strategy,” insisted Alicia Garcia {pic}, the popular spokeswoman in the Senate. The text registered by Alberto Núñez Feijóo’s party in the Upper House points out that presenting a general budget “is an inexcusable duty of the Government, not only before the Cortes Generales, but before the whole of Spain”.
– In this context, the PP has obtained the support of Vox and UPN, as usual in the votes in the Senate, in addition to Asociación Socialista Gomera, while some partners of the Government as Junts, PNV and Compromís have abstained. Even the senator of Más Madrid, formation that is in the Government, has also abstained – for its part, the PSOE, ERC and EH Bildu have voted against.
– “The General State Budget is the main law of a Government and the one that defines how public resources are going to be invested, how tax burdens are going to be distributed and what the economic, social and institutional priorities of a legislature are”, also reads the motion promoted by the conservatives.

Your internet data is never fully deleted- US offices of WhatsApp & Google provide the deleted data from Spain’s Attorney General’s supposedly “wiped & reset” mobiles and Supreme Court orders the UCO (Unidad Central Operativa) to analyze it: {Translation, summary}
– The Supreme Court has received the information it requested from WhatsApp about the state attorney general, Álvaro García Ortiz {pic}, ordering the Central Operational Unit (UCO) of the Civil Guard to analyze it for a month under secrecy, as it agreed a day earlier regarding the data sent by Google.
– This is stated in a new order where, as in the one signed on Wednesday, the magistrate Angel Hurtado says that the request for information he had made to both companies seems to have been “successful”.
– It should be recalled that the magistrate requested these data after the UCO found that García Ortiz had deleted his WhatsApp messages and deleted his Google email account.

UKRAINE WAR

Trump on latest Russia strikes on Kyiv, ‘Vladimir, STOP!”:
– President Donald Trump turned his criticism on Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday after Russia pounded Kyiv with missiles and drones overnight, saying “Vladimir, STOP!” “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kyiv. Not necessary, and very bad timing,” Trump wrote in a social media post a day after saying Ukraine’s leader was hampering peace talks on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine.
– Trump’s rare rebuke of Putin followed his criticism of Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday for saying Ukraine would not recognize Russia’s occupation of Crimea – a longtime Kyiv stance. “This statement is very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia,” Trump said in a social media post. Trump, who argued with Zelenskiy in a disastrous Oval Office meeting in March, said Crimea was lost years ago “and is not even a point of discussion.” Full article: https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-russia-strikes-kyiv-vladimir-stop-2025-04-24/ 

USA

Trump orders Justice Dept. to investigate sex changes as “genital mutilation”: {Translation, summary}
– “It is a serious crime to perform, attempt to perform or conspire to perform female genital mutilation on persons under the age of 18,” states the memorandum, which warns that such practices can carry penalties of up to 10 years imprisonment per case. In addition, it has called for an investigation into whether manufacturers and distributors of puberty blockers, sex hormones and other drugs engage in misleading advertising or have omitted adverse effects in their marketing communications.
– A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment beyond the memo, which cited a January executive order from President Donald Trump that suspended federal funding to health care providers offering gender transition treatments. That order has been challenged in court. Medical organizations, such as the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, assert that gender-affirming care, including surgical procedures for appropriate patients, constitutes medically necessary treatment. Health care providers offering these services obtain informed consent, following established clinical guidelines. {Since when can minors give informed consent? They can’t vote, drink or consent to sex, but they consent to having body parts removed? What depraved mind came up with that? Adults can do as they want, but please leave the children intact. There are far too many cases of gender-change surgery regret, and once it’s done the child victims will never go back to original, they are condemned to a lifetime of medical misery. -Ed.}
– In addition to initiating criminal actions, Bondi also directed the Civil Division of the Department of Justice to initiate actions related to gender affirming care. For example, he directed the Consumer Protection Division that it should investigate any wrongdoing by drug manufacturers or distributors who make false claims regarding puberty blockers, sex hormones and other drugs.

– In addition, the private sector has 431 private hospitals (56% of the total number of hospitals), which corresponds to a total of 49,837 beds (31% of the total in Spain).

WhatsApp Adds Advanced Chat Privacy to Blocks Chat Exports and Auto-Downloads:
– WhatsApp has introduced an extra layer of privacy called Advanced Chat Privacy that allows users to block participants from sharing the contents of a conversation in traditional chats and groups. “This new setting available in both chats and groups helps prevent others from taking content outside of WhatsApp for when you may want extra privacy,” WhatsApp said in a statement.
– The optional feature, when enabled, prevents others from exporting chats, auto-downloading media to their phone, and using messages for artificial intelligence (AI) features. However, it’s worth noting users can still take individual screenshots, or manually download the media. The popular messaging service said the feature is “best used” when engaging in sensitive conversations with groups where it’s possible that users may not know everyone closely.
– The feature, WhatsApp said, is rolling to all users who are on the latest version of the application. Full article: https://thehackernews.com/2025/04/whatsapp-adds-advanced-chat-privacy-to.html
