from Gibraltar Today

The Government says it put a fair and reasonable offer on the table earlier this month towards a pay claim by Special Needs Learning Support Assistants. A demonstration was held by Unite outside the Chief Minister's office yesterday. The Government says it looks forward to the next scheduled meetings and to bringing the matter to a reasonable conclusion. Our news editor Christine Vasquez was there.This February is Multifocal Motor Neuropathy month - observed globally to raise awareness for the rare condition, with a reported prevalence range of just 1 to 3 cases in 100,000. We spoke to John Navarro Jr, who  is the only known patient in Gibraltar.Did you feel the tremors on Monday night? An earthquake registering 5.1 on the Richter scale struck northern Morocco, extending its reach to parts of Portugal, Spain and Gibraltar. Luckily, there were no official reports of casualties. Kenneth Cardona is a retired geography teacher - proficient in the field of earthquakes - and joins us to share some insight.Developers of the former Coviran supermarket on Devil's Tower Road have told GBC they had erected a tall hoarding all the way round which made their site secure and safe. Works have not yet started on the planned mixed-use development. An 11-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy have been arrested on suspicion of arson, following Sunday's fire. In total, seven young people have been arrested, none charged.And, Kindness matters. Primary school children from Governor’s Meadow School were at Casemates today, learning about kindness and spreading the love. An uplifting story that Kevin Ruiz shared with us. Hosted on Acast.
