Chagos Islands handover, Tributes to Robert Fischel KC, Young Enterprise winners and Island Games lookahead

from Gibraltar Today

Robin Sheppard-Capurro hosts the show today, covering the following topics:1 - We start with a tribute to former Crown Prosecutor and Barrister, Robert Fischel, who died earlier this year, aged 72. A ceremony at the Supreme Court yesterday in his memory. GBC Newsroom's Katy Docker summarises the tribute, and studio guest Charles Gomez adds his memories of Mr Fischel KC.2 - The UK has signed a deal to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, but what does this mean for Gibraltar? Charles Gomez is an Honorary Professor of International Law and International Relations of the University of Cádiz and a member of the Key Advisory Group for Law at the University of Gibraltar. He shares his strong opposition to the Chief Minister's views in Parliament yesterday, where he said the UK has made the right decision.3 - The winners of this year's Young Enterprise competition are a group called "Collectify" - a company selling trading cards about the Rock's community and culture. The top prize was awarded at a ceremony earlier this week where all the teams made their final presentations. Jessie Chipol-Nuñez spoke about what the group have learned on their journey, with a look-ahead to the next stage.4 - Sport: Jose Marie Luis gives a round-up of the week's sports news, including Scott Wiseman's appointment and squad announcement for the up coming Nations League matches. And it's 50 days until the Island Games - we check in with Linda Alvarez and Louis Chichon of the Gibraltar Island Games Association for the latest. Hosted on Acast.
