Frontier Changes, Christian Hook, Drowning Prevention

  • Summary

  • The Government has not had any confirmation from Spain as to whether or not bridging measures for red ID card holders will continue once the new electronic frontier system is in place. Asked by GBC, Number Six said the only information available to the Government at this time is what it said in the Technical Notice issued this week. That notice said Spain and Schengen authorities are obliged to treat Gibraltarians as third-party nationals. This means, should the bridging measures not be extended, the full effect of a hard Brexit could become a reality for the first time for many Gibraltarians this November. Our reporter Christina Cortes told us more.


    The Netherlands had Van Gogh, Italy had Da Vinci, and Gibraltar has Hook. Christian's been a busy man of late, recently back from Greece on one of his latest projects. He’s put one of his original works up for sale, with the profits set to be donated to Calpe House.

    And, today is World Drowning Prevention Day. Every year on this day the World Health Organisation raises awareness of drowning as a public health issue. They estimate that 2.5 million people have lost their lives to drowning over the past decade. We spoke to GASA swimming coach Damina Chang-Chipolina and Norbert Sene of the Royal Life-Saving Society.
