Ministers were accused of betraying British workers today as a £1.6billion contract for Royal Navy support ships was handed to a consortium that will carry out work in a Spanish dockyard. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace today announced the Team Resolute consortium including Navantia, the Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company, was the preferred bidder to construct three Fleet Solid Support (FSS) vessels.
A judge slammed a blundering barrister for turning up at court in Newport in Wales - when he should have been 150 miles away for a case in Newport on the Isle of Wight. Lawyer Brad Lawlor had travelled from London after being drafted in to pick up the case from a colleague after reading it was in Newport.
Michael Sheen appears to have taken yet another swipe at Prince William by sharing a clip of Welsh children cheering Gareth Bale and the national team before they left for Qatar after he ignited a row over whether the new Prince of Wales should have done the same.
SPANISH Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez held second meeting this year with Samsung executives, this time during his official visit to South Korea on November 17. This follows a meeting held in Madrid on August 31 as Sánchez wants help to grow the new tech industry in Spain whilst Samsung has not only the technology but looks to receive a sizeable chunk of the European Recovery Funds allocated to technology.
Party hotspot Malaga is set to ban inflatable sex dolls and blow-up penis costumes in a huge crackdown on stag and hen parties. The southern Spanish city has become a tourist favourite thanks to cheap flights and a buzzing nightlife - but now locals are set to come down hard on crude antics.
New legislation passed in France this week, by President Emmanuel Macron, insisted that all large car parks must be used for the installation of solar panels. This move comes as part of the French government’s drive for the use of renewable energy. According to The Guardian today, Sunday, November 13, this new law passed by the French Senate applies to car parks – either existing or when planned to be built – with a capacity for 80 vehicles.
Caving in to nurses’ wage demands would hike their average annual pay to more than £46,000, a Mail on Sunday analysis reveals ahead of their strike.The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) wants a 17.6 per cent rise, claiming a 20 per cent cut in real-terms pay since 2010.But figures provided by NHS Digital show the average pay for qualified nurses in England has reached £40,147.This comprises basic salary of £35,841, plus extras for shift work, overtime and living in a pricier area worth £4,306.
A former teacher will face misconduct proceedings almost a year after she was jailed for a 15-month 'affair' she had with a schoolgirl. Aimee Jones, 36, admitted sexually touching the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, in the back of her car months after she initially approached her victim at school. Teesside Crown Court heard how she told the teenager she was bisexual and that she was 'having feelings of attraction towards her'.A woman has sparked an online debate after saying stay at home wives and mothers are often the target of vitriol - prompting some to say they would be 'devastated' if their offspring chose not to work.

A sad Farewell to the Enigmatic Don Woods who was laid to rest on his beloved Wirral Peninsular last Friday 11th November 2022. Don had always been very fit and healthy until fate struck his lungs a fateful blow about 8 weeks ago. I phoned Don early one Monday morning as was our arrangement. We loved to sit and chew the fat over the airwaves then remember an aspect of Don's songwriting. Don was struggling for breath for a few weeks before he suddenly went into hospital and here I am writing our blog after his death and subsequent funeral. As his illness progressed it became obvious that Don was feeling the loss of his wife Cynthia very deeply. It had only been a few weeks before all this happened that I had produced a podcast with Don recounting various aspects of his life and remembering how we had first met in the early days of BBC Radio at Radio Merseyside. I am still finding this a little overwhelming and the podcast will allow Don to tell you about his life and our friendship. He was talented, successful, versatile, enigmatic and fun to be around. Thanks for the memories Don and thanks for your valued friendship. You will be missed by many people who admired your love of music, your love of Wirral and your love of Wales. Our thoughts and prayers are with Don, Don's son, Steve, and all his family and friends. RIP Vince and Anne in Spain xx
@terrywhitehead and @vincetracy discuss.. Britain is facing a winter of discontent after 100,000 civil servants voted to strike today as comrades on the rail network agreed new dates and nurses decided on taking industrial action for the first time in more than a century.
Salto de Castro, found in north-western Spain, has 44 homes, a hotel, a church and a swimming pool has been put up for sale by the current owner. The village is built over 65,000 square feet along the hilltops in the province of Zamora, near Spain's border with Portugal. But despite its picturesque location, Salto de Castro is home to no inhabitants, and has been abandoned for more than three decades.
Morocco announced on Friday, November 4, that it had appointed a new person to oversee the public company that is in charge of the project to construct a 40km tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar to link the north African county to Spain. During the Moroccan government council meeting held on Thursday 3, it was decided to appoint AbdelKabir Zahoud.
Spain briefly closed parts of its airspace over risks posed by a Chinese rocket re-entering Earth's atmosphere. Barcelona and Ibiza airports were among those impacted by the grounding, which lasted around 40 minutes on Friday. The decision came after China sent its powerful Long March 5B rocket to deliver the final module of its Tiangong space station.
Greta Thunberg believes it is time for her to 'give up the megaphone' on climate change issues - but called for more 'civil disobedience' as eco-protests sweep Europe.The teenage activist, 19, wants to step out of the limelight to make room for people who are actually suffering the effects of climate change, four years after starting her world-famous 'school strike for climate' movement
Four people were killed, including a teenager, and eight others were injured early on Sunday after a car rammed into members of a wedding party near Madrid following a brawl, police said.The fight erupted at dawn outside a restaurant that was hosting the wedding in Torrejón de Ardoz, some 25 kilometres northeast of Madrid.
The new regulations, which introduced fines for both, produced the desired effect and while prostitution continues, it is hidden from view. Fewer homeless are now seen sleeping in the city centre and many have moved on to neighbouring Elche. Mariano Valera, Elche’s Social Rights councillor, condemned the Alicante City law, approved with the votes of the Partido Popular, Ciudadanos and Vox parties, as “shameful” when it came into force.
Watching violent television programmes from a young age has been scientifically linked to poor performance at secondary school. Researchers from the University of Montreal analysed the content shown to nearly 2,000 children aged 3.5 to 4.5. When the kids turned 12, the team asked them and their teachers to evaluate how well they thought they were doing at school. It was found that boys and girls exposed to violent content in early childhood were more likely to experience 'increases in emotional distress' later on.
Uk Labour's Ed Miliband today backed calls for taxpayers' money to be given to countries such as Pakistan and the Maldives for 'loss and damage' from climate change.The shadow climate and net zero secretary insisted it was 'morally right' to hand money to poorer nations that are 'on the frontline of the climate crisis'.As the Cop-27 climate change summit begins in Egypt, Mr Miliband stressed it would also be in Britain's 'self-interest' to boost aid to developing countries.But, while he highlighted both Pakistan and the Maldives as possible recipients of 'loss and damage' payments, he denied it would also see China handed cash

- Nicola Sturgeon was rebuked by ministers and MPs after she delivered the jibe during an interview in which she hinted at a possible election tie-up with Keir Starmer . The SNP leader insisted it is 'not difficult to answer' the question of whether Sir Keir or Liz Truss should be in No10, saying: 'I detest the Tories and everything they stand for.'
An orchestra which has received more than £1 million of public money refused to play the National Anthem after the Queen died because it said it symbolises the ‘racist’ British Empire.The Chineke!

British lamb has been shipped to the US for the first time in 20 years on October 6. It is the result of landmark deal reached last year with the United States Department for Agriculture and will open up a market of more than 300 million people for British lamb producers.

Britain's most tattooed man has spoken out about how his extensive collection of body modifications has resulted in unfair treatment in the workplace. Matthew Whelan from Birmingham, who is also known as King Body Art, kingofinkland79 or B-art, has tattooed over some 90 per cent of his body, spending more than £40,000 on the extensive inkings.
Men technically age faster than women, experts have claimed. Anti-ageing researchers found men in their fifties were biologically four years older than their female counterparts, on average. And the gap already exists in 20-somethings, according to the first study of its kind. Scientists compared the chronological age of thousands of volunteers — how many birthdays they've had — against their biological one. This was done using tests that estimate the body's decline based on subtle markers attached to our DNA
..................After all, these days Sky Sports is the official broadcast partner of BLM and jumps on every passing woke bandwagon with all the subtlety of Sunderland’s Lee Cattermole taking out anyone who got in his way.So you won’t be surprised to learn that Football’s Toughest Opponent isn’t any of the above. It is, wait for it, climate change..............
I find it very strange referring to our new king as King Charles ....and to hear the National anthem as God Save The King......we haven't seen a lot of him up to now but I'm sure he will find his feet.....but it's a tough act to follow.
Liverpool has been chosen to host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in place of Ukraine.....so that should bring a few quid into the city.
Ken Bruce on Radio 2 has featured Brian Blessed as his guest and he picks his favourite records each day through the week.....what an interesting bloke.....apart from his amazing acting career he has climbed Everest amongst many other adventures....I remember him starting out in Z Cars back in the day.
I also watched a documentary soon Diana Dors which was fascinating......I wrote a song for her, which she recorded, when I was signed to a London record company back in the 70s which I have only recently heard for the first time.....watching this documentary was quite emotional as I actually spoke to her on the phone.
There is a new series coming on the T.V. called "The Larkins"....staring guess who...Bradley Walsh.....so he is now on The Chase every day...plus Blankety Blank...plus Law and Order....plus Breaking Dad (with his son)....plus Coronation Street....not to mention Dr.Who....plus hosting the Palladium...plus a string of past quiz shows.....wont be long before it's Sir Bradders.
Just when you though that Brad's diary must be full out he comes with an album of old classics.....he's not a bad singer so I thought he deserves a bit of publicity as we don't see much of him....so here is a song off his album. "Get Happy."...by Bradley Walsh and The Bradettes

Europe must prepare for 'previously unimaginable' threats to its offshore and undersea infrastructure, Germany's interior minister has said today, after the Nord Stream pipe was blown up in a suspected Russian attack. Leaders have already begun scrambling to shore up their defences with NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg in Denmark today for talks which he said 'addressed the protection of critical infrastructure' while Norway said it was deploying the military to protect its oil and gas rigs.
The Spanish government is planning to impose a temporary tax on the wealthiest 1% of the country’s population, starting from next year amid soaring inflation, Budget Minister María Jesús Montero said on Thursday. She acknowledged that she was negotiating with the PSOE socialists’ junior coalition partner, the left-wing Podemos group, who had the initiative in its electoral programme.
Why has the pound dropped? The pound has plummeted in direct reaction to Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's so-called mini-budget on Friday, which announced the biggest tax cuts in the past 50 years. Why has it got worse over the weekend? While there was an initial fall after the chancellor's announcement, sterling started to rally slightly.
The Danish monarch has removed prince and princess as well as 'His/Her Highness' titles from Nikolai, 23, Felix, 20, Henrik, 13, and Athena, ten. A statement on Wednesday said Queen Margrethe hopes the move will allow the siblings to 'shape their own lives without being limited by the special considerations and duties' that a formal affiliation with the Danish Royal Family involves.
The world’s second-largest fresh produce wholesale market in Rungin near Orly airport in the southern suburbs of Paris has been reportedly been totally destroyed today, Sunday, September 25, after a massive fire broke out.
Italy Silvio Berlusconi has sparked fury by claiming Vladimir Putin was 'pushed' into invading Ukraine and only wants to put 'decent people' in charge of Kyiv. the nationalist Giorgia Meloni is swept into power on Sunday's vote. The Brothers of Italy leader has been dominating the polls despite a number of gaffes in her campaign, which saw her forced to suspend a party candidate for praising Hitler and a close associate accused of performing a Nazi salute.
The Royal Air Force has admitted 'mistakes were made' following claims it pressured a recruitment boss to prioritise women and ethnic minorities over white men as part of a diversity drive.Claims first emerged last month that the RAF's head of recruitment had refused to follow an order to prioritise particular candidates because she believed it was 'unlawful'
Peter Hitchens.......... Like a man who has had his head severed but doesn’t realise it, much of Britain still has not grasped the significance of the huge constitutional changes brought in by Brown and Blair after 1997. Judges in an English court warned a few years ago in a case about Christian foster parents who couldn’t agree to the modern view of homosexuality: ‘Although historically this country is part of the Christian West, and although it has an established church which is Christian, there have been enormous changes in the social and religious life of our country over the last century… We sit as secular judges serving a multicultural community of many faiths............But can a ‘multicultural community of many faiths’ put up with a ceremony which requires the new monarch to assent to the demand made to his mother in 1953: ‘Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law?’ If so, the promise will be empty, as King Charles well knows. It is quite obvious that, in the 70-year gap between the two ceremonies, the entire country has been utterly changed, divorced or unwed rather than married, committed to personal autonomy rather than to self restraint, vaguely republican rather than vaguely monarchist, filled with competing cultures rather than sharing a single one...............

There has been endless coverage of the Queen lying in state
with thousands and thousands of her loyal subjects queuing
fo up to 24 hours to pass the coffin and show their respects
showing how respected she was.....a wonderful lady
.......and David Beckham has been praised for joining the line

Extremist groups are using blasphemy to silence free speech, a counter-terrorism expert has warned.

Shalev Levi fears heaven more than he fears Earth. He is a Haredi – one of the “God-fearing”, as strictly Orthodox Jews are called in Hebrew – and he has just checked in at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, en route to Moldova, to then cross by road to Uman, in central Ukraine. There he will join more than a thousand ultra-Orthodox Jews who are already in the city to fulfill the annual tradition, started two centuries ago, of celebrating the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. .

Spain is world famous for certain products. For its fruit and vegetables, its wines, its olive oil, its jamón. But few know that Spain also has an abundance of a much more precious and valuable material: gold. In Asturias alone experts estimate there are as many as 480 gold deposits in the region. But the biggest goldmine – and by far the most controversial – is that of Salave in the municipality of Tapia de Casariego, where studies have revealed that there could be as much as 300,000 kilograms (or 300 tons) of untapped gold deposits underground.

Emile Ford was first and foremost a sound scientist and secondly he was a Number One hit-maker. He lived his life trying to create the best sound in the world and he had been involved with some of the biggest names in the business. I first met Emile in Cornwall around 1990 and he became a personal friend.
Vince met up with Emile Ford on Wednesday 8th July 2009 when Emile explained that he had been creating his wonderful sound for such great stars as Michael Jackson, Abba, Bruce Sprinsteen, Dionne Warwick, Aretha Franklin and the artistes who competed in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest. His destiny has been to create his wonderful sound. The podcast is an insight into his wonderful life.
Here's a magical musical memory. Fred's played the folk circuit for many years,
both prior to, and in the wake of, his single chart success. He hasalso presented
many programmes on UK West Country TV.
Fred Wedlocks's albums include The Folker (1971) (notable for the title track
parody of "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel), Frolicks (1973), Out of
Wedlock (1978), The Oldest Swinger in Town (1981) and Fred Wedlock Live
(1982).
Wedlock's daughter, Hannah Wedlock, is now a member of the Pigsty Hill
Light Orchestra, another Bristol-based outfit, whom Fred made his support
band at an early stage of their career.
A bit of football trivia......Fred Wedlock's grandfather Billy Wedlock captained
Bristol City F.C. and was a regular for England in the early 20th century.
The Wedlock stand at Ashton Gate is named in his honour.
He lived in Timsbury, Somerset.

Paul has had a brilliant career and it was nice to talk with the guy who created some
of my favourite hits including HOW LONG by his band ACE
Here's Paul's career in brief.................. The 1970s: From Warm Dust to Ace to Roxy Music Carrack's
recording career began with the progressive rock band Warm Dust, who released
3 albums of original material between 1970 and 1972. Carrack was the keyboard
player for Warm Dust, and occasionally played other instruments as well, but he
was not the band's lead vocalist. The lead vocalist was Les Walker. After Warm
Dust broke up, Carrack and Warm Dust bassist Tex Comer helped to found the
pub rock band Ace. Carrack wrote and sang "How Long", Ace's debut single and
a hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1975. However, no further Ace recordings
caught on. In 1977 Ace disbanded and Carrack began working as a backing
musician for Frankie Miller. This was followed by a turn as a member of Roxy
Music.........

Hunger is a gender issue. Globally, about 32% of women are moderately or severely food

The massacre on the Faroe Islands was so bloody it turned the sea dark red as the bottlenose dolphins were stabbed with spears and hauled onto the shore . Residents of Skálafjörður herded the dolphins into a bay and penned them in before wading into the shallows to stab them with spears, hooks and knives. The 'hunt' comes just weeks after the Faroe government set an annual catch limit of dolphins to 500 a year, and less than a year after 1400 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were killed in one weekend. Residents claim the mass-killing of dolphins is an important part of their tradition and history, and supplements the islanders' diet.

For while the MeToo movement and Everyone’s Invited — a site that has hit the headlines for exposing ‘rape culture’ in schools and universities through anonymous testimonies, usually from girls — have undoubtedly helped unmask disturbing predatory male behaviour, they have also helped breed a generation of young women and girls who see all boys as predators.

THE UK press reports labour shortages across nearly every industry yet graduates can’t find jobs. Something doesn’t add up.

If you follow my podcasts you will know that I have a regular Monday chat with singer/songwriter Don Woods. Don has had a very varied but always successful career. Don will tell us about his formative years on Wirral Merseyside. This is the peninsula which lies across the River Mersey from Liverpool. Don has an afinity and passion for his home and a love of Wales which is about a 30 minute drive away. We have been friends since my early days on Radio Merseyside and Don was a regular guest on my radio shows with Onda Cero in Spain. I was interested in Don's early days and our lives have overlapped in many ways with common friends and a common love for music and the arts. This hopefully fills in the gaps between our first meeting and the airwaves we have shared over the years between Spain and my birthplace. You can find Don and his music on YouTube and on various social media platforms.
@terrywhitehead discusses a little discussed a problem which affects up to 10% of the world population
A great memory for me was meeting the wonderful Brenda Lee over the airwaves from my radio show in Spain.
Brenda Lee, is an American singer. Performing rockabilly, pop and country music, she had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Ray Charles. She is known for her 1960 hit "I'm Sorry", and 1958's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", which has become a Christmas standard.
At 4 ft 9 inches tall (approximately 145 cm), she received the nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" in 1957, after recording the song "Dynamite" when she was 12, and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following.
Sir Henry Cooper was a British southpaw heavyweight boxing champion, best remembered for a 1963 fight with a young Muhamed Ali who was then known as Cassius Clay. Sir Henry gives us his version of a very dodgy tampering episode when he was on the verge of winning but which he lost lost when the fight was called off due to a cut. Cooper was the undefeated British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion for twelve years, and held the European heavyweight title for three years. In 1966 he fought Ali, by then the World Champion a second time and was again stopped due to a cut. Cooper twice was voted BBC Sports Personality of the year and after retiring in 1971 following a controversial loss remained a popular public figure. He is the only boxer to have been awarded a knighthood.
Brenda Lee was born in 1944 as Brenda Mae Tarpley and she became a worldwide American singer. performing Rockabilly, Pop and Country. She had 47 US chart hits during the 1960s and is ranked fourth in that decade, surpassed only by Elvis, The Beatles and Ray Charles. I'm pretty sure you will have heard her 1958's Christmas classic 'Rockin around the Christmas Tree.
S was given the nickname "Little Miss Dynamite" in 1957 after recording the song "Dynamite" when she was 12, and was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following. You can obviously guess how chuffed I was to chat with Brenda about her fabulous career in music.I called her from my radio show based in sunny Spain and particularly wanted to know about her great song Sweet Nothins. It still remains one of my favourite podcasts.
Here is a link to a chat I had with Dennis Janssen. On the
podcast Dennis talks of his early life in Germany and his training
in college to become a Master Chimney Sweep in Germany
Here in Spain Dennis is a very well-respected craftsman who
will call to your house by arrangement and give you advice on
any aspect of chimney maintenance.
Dennis explains how he wanted to become a Master Chimney
Sweep and we discussed various issues around Health and
Safety, technical ability and knowledge and physical fitness
involved in the job.
I certainly learned a few things about my old childhood
memories and realised how similar we have been in certain
aspects of our history.
You can be forgiven for thinking we don't need fires to keep us
warm in Spain but Dennis explains the best times to have your
chimney cleaned and how to go about getting his invaluable
advice. There's also the chance you can book him to bring luck
at your wedding but only if his diary allows this.

In August 1966 Mike joined Manfred Mann, an established chart-topping group, as replacement for Paul Jones, who was leaving to start a solo career. Comparisons between d'Abo and Jones became a media preoccupation at the time of the switch, but
d'Abo wasted little time dwelling upon it. "I enjoy being with the group," he told Pete Goodman. "We really do have an
enormously wide range of musical tastes among us."
D'Abo's first big hit with Manfred Mann was "Semi-Detached Suburban Mr James". It was nearly recorded with "Mr Jones" in the title before it occurred to the group that it might be
interpreted as being an implied reference to Paul Jones. D'Abo first recorded the As Is album (with the attaching single "Just
Like a Woman").
He composed and produced Chris Farlowe's "Handbags and Gladrags", a hit single which was also notably recorded by Rod Stewart and Stereophonics and subsequently became the theme music to the BBC television show The Office.
Mike Sarne was born Michael Scheuer at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London.

Trinidad López III was an American singer, guitarist, and actor. His first album included a cover version of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer", which earned a Golden Disc for him. The song reached number one in 36 countries, and was a radio favourite for many years. I almost met Trini in person when I had been visiting family and friends in Palm Springs and Trini had been in town just a few nights before we'd arrived. I learned that Trini Lopez formed his first band inTexas at the age of 15. Around 1955/56 Lopez and his band worked at The Vegas Club, a nightclub owned by Jack Ruby, the man who assassinated Lee Harvey oswald. I was very thankful that Trin took the time to take my call and for him, it was in the wee small hours of the morning. Trini appeared in the 1967 film the Dirty Dozen

other talents. He is the official Wirral Cultural Ambassador.In the studio with me is the late Paul Melba.
Lecturer Glen Frenkell has written a thought-provoking article about Brian
Epstein in the Washington Post.
Brian Samuel Epstein, the Beatles Manager was born in Liverpool in 1934. He sadly died in 1967. He also
managed Gerry & The Pacemakers, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, and Cilla Black.
The Beatles recorded a demo in Decca's studios—paid for by Epstein—which he
later persuaded George Martin to listen to. Epstein was then offered a contract. They were offered a contract by Parlophone after being rejected by almost every other British record
company.
Epstein died of an accidental drug overdose at his home in London in August 1967. The Beatles' early success has been attributed to Epstein's management and sense of style. Paul McCartney said of Epstein: "If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian."

This man is an absolute legend in the world of Formula 1 motor racing. He raced in a very different era to modern times and this podcast will give you an insight to his life and times.

Stirling also shows how the racers were true sportsmen and tremendously ethical in their comportment. He graphically explains how the sport has developed into big business and gives us a great insight into this exciting world of motor racing.
This was a wonderful 60s hit song which many people said was about the actress Brigitte Bardot. Hear the truth from Peter himself as he talks about this song and his life in music.

Tony Christie possesses a voice of such distinction which, harnessed to a keen ear for memorable material, makes for indestructible durability. To make timeless music, records which play well in any decade against a backdrop of fickle, changing fashions, is evidence of an on-going ability to be envied by most of pop’s transient stars ......here's my chat with the wonderful singer

#AlbertLee has influenced a generation of #Nashville pickers with his amazing blend of #Country, #Rockabilly and #Western #swing. His lightning-fast speed has earned him a reputation as the guitarist's guitarist - hardly surprising that readers of #GuitarPlayer magazine voted him "Best Country Guitarist" five years running.
I was so chuffed to speak to Albert who is an absolute legend. Not only is he a wonderful guitarist but he is an absolute gentleman.
