IZNATE
Iznate will distribute free bottled water after declaring the municipal water supply unfit for consumption: {Trans, summary}
– The water from the municipal network of Iznate has been declared unfit for human consumption due to the presence of chlorates above the permitted levels, so it cannot be used for drinking or for food preparation. The incident has been reported by the Iznate City Council, which has announced the free supply of bottled drinking water to families while this situation persists.
– To access this distribution, each family must first collect a voucher from the Town Hall, between 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. The document will indicate the amount of water authorized based on the number of people living in the household. The voucher can be redeemed at the Town Hall or at the Covirán supermarket in Iznate. Each voucher is for single use only and will be kept at the establishment or municipal point where it is issued. The first vouchers will cover the period between November 10 and 16, 2026.
– The municipal ordinance states that tap water cannot be used for drinking, cooking, washing food that will be eaten raw, or preparing coffee, tea, or baby bottles.
However, it is permitted to use it for personal hygiene , showering, washing hands, cleaning the home, washing clothes, and washing dishes. Its use for oral hygiene, including brushing teeth, is discouraged. Source, Spanish: https://www.axarquiaplus.es/iznate-repartira-agua…

CEUTA CRISIS
Eviction in Ceuta- Police take action for the second consecutive day at the port: {Trans, summary}
– The eviction of the migrant camp in Ceuta continued this Monday at the port area, following the removal of approximately 450 people on Sunday. The National Police have launched a second operation to dismantle the temporary structures and transfer the residents to official centres.
– The operation began early in the morning, around 6:00 a.m., with the aim of completing the dismantling of the temporary facilities for undocumented migrants. Officers from the Police Intervention Units (UIP) and the Prevention and Reaction Unit (UPR) were deployed to control the perimeter and ensure an orderly transfer.
– The migrants are transported by bus and police vehicles to the Temporary Foreigners’ Assistance Center (CATE) in El Tarajal, where their immigration status is verified. Among the available options are voluntary return to Morocco for those who wish to go back, as well as referral to other reception facilities managed by the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration.
– The start of the eviction on Sunday was marked by the removal of some 50 tents installed by the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) on the Poniente dock, within the government plan to progressively eliminate the devices created after the massive arrival of migrants at the end of July.

SCAMS
Seven arrested for re-renting tourist flats in Malaga as long-term homes: {Trans, summary}
– Seven people have been arrested and three others placed under investigation over an alleged organised fraud involving the illegal subletting of tourist apartments in Málaga as long-term rental properties. Around 20 victims have so far been identified, with losses estimated at €150,000.
– The gang advertised tourist apartments found through rental websites and messaging groups, offering them as permanent homes. Victims were required to pay advance booking fees and deposits by Bizum or bank transfer. In some cases, the same property was rented to several different people on the same day.
– The alleged ringleader operated from Thailand, publishing advertisements on social media and arranging viewings. He used numerous telephone lines, multiple bank accounts and cryptocurrency transactions to conceal the proceeds and launder the money.
– In Spain, accomplices collected payments, delivered keys and showed properties they knew did not belong to them. Police have charged the suspects with organised crime, fraud and money laundering. Further victims may emerge. {Renters can’t assume just because someone has keys to a place that those people are the real owners. Additionally, squatters have also been known to fraudulently rent properties they have occupied. If you are dealing with an individual rather than an agency, you must verify property ownership and confirm the ID of the person matches to avoid these scams. It can be inconvenient, even awkward, but handing money to someone just because they have keys and a generic lease form is risky. -Ed.} Source, Spanish: https://www.laopiniondemalaga.es/malaga/2026/11/09/siete-detenidos-realquilar-pisos-turisticos-malaga-136242726.html

– Hospitals and health centres will operate with staffing levels similar to those of a weekend or holiday.

SPACE
Jupiter and Mars are set for a breathtaking close approach later this week- Here’s how to see it:
– Jupiter and Mars will shine side by side in a spectacular close approach in the heart of the constellation Leo on Nov. 15. Here’s what you need to know.
– Mars and Jupiter reach their closest apparent separation in Earth’s sky at 9:04 p.m. EST on Nov. 15 (02:04 GMT on Nov. 16), according to astronomy website In-The-Sky. Full article: https://www.space.com/stargazing/jupiter-and-mars…
– {European stargazers will be able to see Mars and Jupiter at the moment of their closest approach. For observers in Madrid, the closest approach will occur at 3:04 a.m. local time on November 16. You should be able to see both planets with the naked eye:
Jupiter will be the much brighter, white-looking object.
Mars will appear as a smaller, reddish-orange point.
They’ll be separated by approximately 1.2 degrees, close enough to fit comfortably within binoculars’ field of view.
Best viewing advice: Although you can see them at 3:04 a.m. in Spain, I’d recommend looking between 4:00 and 6:00 a.m. on November 16. They’ll climb higher into the sky, making them easier to observe. Look towards the east-southeast, then south as the night progresses. -ChatGPT}

#MeToo
Russell Brand sentenced to more than 10 years in prison for rape and sexual assaults:
– The British former comedian and actor Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for raping a woman and sexually assaulting three more.
– Handing down the sentence Monday at Southwark Crown Court in London, judge Joel Bennathan said Brand told a series of lies throughout the trial, adding he had displayed a “casual and arrogant disregard” to women who said ‘No’ to him.
– The claims against Brand were made by six different women, spanning from 1999 to 2009. None of the women knew each other, but came forward to police following a TV documentary and press reports in 2023, in which anonymous allegations were made by other women.
– According to the Associated Press, the convictions included a rape that took place in 2009, involving a victim who went to Brand’s home after meeting him at one of his shows. She said she had engaged in consensual sex, but that Brand then raped her and removed a condom in the process.
– Brand was also convicted of sexually assaulting a woman when he grabbed her breasts at a London bar in 2004. He was also found guilty over an incident in 2009, in which he demanded a woman give him a massage in front of two of his colleagues and then put his head in her groin. A third complaint of sexual assault ended in a guilty verdict when Brand was found guilty of pushing a woman who worked at a radio station up against a wall and forcibly kissing her.
– Brand denied the charges and said he had never forced anyone to do something against their will.
– The head of the Met Police, Sir Mark Rowley, has urged any other victims of Brand to contact the police. “There’s two more rape allegations that we’re looking at. We’re encouraging anybody else to come forward if there’s any other allegations,” he told British media on Nov. 6. He later said that he “wouldn’t be surprised if many, many more come forward,” adding of the trial, “This shows that powerful people can be brought down so you are safe stepping forward and we will support and try and bring that person to justice.” {While Brand may be a scoundrel, I suspect these criminal charges will be appealed and turned over somewhere down the road. There was no physical evidence produced against Brand at all, strictly cases of “she said, he said”; all testimony but no hard evidence makes for a shaky, even if publicly popular, conviction. He probably will have to pay the victims millions from civil lawsuits they will certainly now file, that have a lower burden of proof. Or maybe it’ll be another Epstein/McAfee scenario and he’ll be found hanging by a prison blanket? We’ll see…and as always, follow the money. -Ed.}
