Today is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, a time to educate, push for inclusion, and – hopefully – find a cure for cerebral palsy. Manar Ben Tahayekt told us what was it like for her growing up with cerebral palsy and whether she feels that locally people are aware of her condition.


Big fight night this weekend at Europa Point of international interest! A handful of locals involved too - the Montegriffo brothers and Tyrone Buttigieg all in action. We spoke to Ollie Bessell of the streaming platform Box Nation.


The GHA's Mobile Health Unit is out and about today: kicking off the day at Casemates, the unit is visiting districts around Gibraltar, offering well-person checks, plus information and advice on various conditions. Christina Cortes visited the mobile unit at Casemates this morning.


And, the Gibraltar National Museum and the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens have joined forces in an exciting initiative which sets up Gibraltar’s first Centre for Biodiversity and Animal Movement. Dr. Keith Bensusan and Professor Clive Finlayson told us more.
