from Gibraltar Today

Action for Housing says it has serious concerns following the Principal Auditor’s report and its findings that the Chief Minister was personally involved in the allocation of government housing. For his part, Fabian Picardo has said he can't go into the details of the case but that they are harrowing, adding he believed those on the housing list would have agreed with the need to intervene. Henry Pinna from Action For Housing was in the studio.You may recall we recently spoke to HM Customs Gibraltar about a new software, a new system for clearing goods at the frontier. It's a new automated system for customs data - ASYCUDA. Senior Customs Officer Nigel Lia told Gibraltar Today the system is already up and running, with scope for amendments if required as and when the UK-EU Treaty is ratified. But it's experienced problems, as our reporter Jonathan Sacramento told us.Our sports reporter Jose Mari Ruiz was at the second of this week’s Conference League qualifiers yesterday evening, which saw St Joseph's lose to Republic of Ireland's Shamrock Rovers 4-0 at the Europa Sports Complex. He also brought us up to speed with what’s happening in local basketball.Less than two months to go until the start of the Netball Youth World Cup... 57 days, to be precise. It's the pinnacle of netball competition for emerging players under the age of 21... so how is Gibraltar preparing to host such a major event? We spoke to Moira Gomez and Geraldine Rodriguez of the management team.And, the Rubik’s Cube was invented in 1974 and quickly became a global phenomenon. Now, celebrating 50 years of the Rubik's Cube, we look ahead to the 2025 Gibraltar Open this weekend! It brings together the Spanish and UK Rubik's cube communities. Father and son, Javi and Javi Garcia Mata joined us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
