The Pope has appointed Apostolic Nuncio Mark Miles to Costa Rica. The Gibraltarian Archbishop has been the Apostolic Nuncio in the Republic of Benin. Previously he was the papal ambassador to the West African country, and became the first Gibraltarian priest to hold such a senior diplomatic role and to be ordained an Archbishop. We spoke to the Bishop Carmel Zammitt about the appointment as well as News Editor Christine Vasquez.The MP for Finchley and Golders Green, Sarah Sackman has been appointed Solicitor General. In a statement, the Labour MP of Gibraltarian origin said that after 14 years of a Conservative Government people’s trust in the rule of law and in the integrity of politics needed to be restored. The Chief Minister has welcomed the appointment saying he’s particularly pleased to note the calibre of the appointments being made by the Labour Government. The Solicitor General advises the Crown and the Cabinet as deputy to the Attorney General. She spoke to GBC last week after the General election.And, during the summer the Bay and Strait of Gibraltar is a hotspot for tuna fishing. It's a hot topic, both from a political and sporting standpoint.
