Treaty Negotiations, Action for Housing, A Monster Calls

On GBC’s ‘The Needle’ last night, The Chief Minister said he didn't need a poll to talk about Brexit, it's the elephant in the room. Fabian Picardo said a Brexit treaty would deliver more EU benefits than ever, without compromising sovereignty. Meanwhile in London, The Foreign Secretary has told the European Scrutiny Committee the driving focus of Gibraltar treaty negotiations is to improve fluidity at the border with Spain. Speaking before the Commons Committee, Lord David Cameron said the system at the Gibraltar Airport would work in a similar way to checks carried out by French police at the St Pancras train station before boarding the Eurostar. Jonathan Sacramento spoke to us about the treaty negotiations in greater detail. Action for Housing has called once again on the Government to follow through on its commitment for a halfway house for men. It says following marital breakdowns it is usually men who leave the family home, and are sometimes made homeless. We invited the pressure group's Henry Pinna to the studio.The Government has reached an agreement with Solar Century Africa Limited for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a new Battery Energy Storage System at the North Mole Power Station. The 16.5 million pound project is expected to make the power system more resilient and reduce the frequency of power cuts. Claire Hernandez told us more.And, GAMPA students have prepared a new play called 'A Monster Calls' - based on the best-selling novel by Patrick Ness - it will be performed later this month at the Inces Hall Theatre. We spoke to director Hannah Mifsud and two of the students involved: Kate Williamson and Nick Federico. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
