A Spanish dancer and choreographer died in the early hours of Sunday morning after being hit by an exploding flare during a live show in Las Berlanas, in Ávila province. Some mistakes may seem innocuous yet they can carry a high price. A young man from Spain on Tuesday involuntarily triggered a security alert at Munich airport after walking through the wrong door on his way to catch a Madrid flight, said federal police in Germany. Two planes from the Irish airline Ryanair were at risk of colliding during their respective flights close to Pamplona, northern Spain earlier this month. The ongoing battle between low-cost airline Ryanair and its staff is not just playing out around the negotiating table, but also on social networks via viral videos and photos. EL PAÍS spoke with public prosecutor Ana Villagómez about the shady underworld of the hashish trade in the south of Spain and what the justice system must do to stop itIt’s complicated. ... A: Very much so. It’s important to keep the organizations under siege to prevent them from having the capacity and the money to bribe an officer of the law. At the end of the day, I think these are isolated cases. In the UK .....David Gauke has claimed Boris Johnson wants to lose a crunch No Deal vote this week so the PM can launch a 'purge' of Tory Remainer rebels and turn the Conservatives into the Brexit Party ahead of a snap general election. Gavin Williamson has become the second Cabinet minister to suggest that the government will ignore any anti-No Deal law passed by MPs as he insisted sacking Tory rebels who side with Jeremy Corbyn on Brexit is the 'right decision'. Boris Johnson has vowed to withdraw the whip from any Conservative MP who tries to stop the UK leaving the EU on October 31. According to the minutes of the meeting, UK negotiators have been told that Ms Merkel’s remarks during the meeting that Mr Johnson had ‘30 days’ to sort out a new Brexit deal was ‘not fixed’.......... Drones targeting the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria could be redeployed to the Gulf to help protect shipping from Iran. Navy chiefs have requested surveillance support to combat the threat from Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz. A woman raped by the 'Beast of Kavos', who preyed on holidaying British women, has spoken out in horror as the rapist is released45 years early and allowed to return to the holiday resort. ......, but has now been released back to the resort where he repeatedly pounced, just seven years later........ COMMENT-All female tourists should avoid the place as clearly there is a high chance you will become another victim. The world media has a responsibility to tell its female customers and the public of this man and keep telling it so the tourism numbers go down.
