A Brexit Agreement has been announced for Gibraltar's future relationship with the EU. The GFSB has arranged a Brexit Town Hall discussion this evening to discuss the challenges and opportunities. Chairman of the GFSB, Owen Smith was in the studio to discuss what the mood is like among small businesses following the announcement.


This Friday, Gibraltar Triathlon are hosting the 2nd edition of their Splash and Dash event. Building on last year’s success, it promises to be a fun evening of swimming and running. Chris Walker and Nicky Bennett told us more.


Political observers in Gibraltar and the UK are following developments in the Spanish parliament closely, as Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez battles a corruption scandal engulfing senior figures in his Socialist Party. Mr Sanchez's embattled PSOE Government, together with the EU, the UK and Gibraltar, reached a political agreement last week on the future of the Rock, although a treaty has yet to be completed and signed. Jonathan Sacramento has the details.


Jose Mari Ruiz brought us up to speed on all the sports news from the long weekend, with the Gibraltar women’s cricket team having just returned to the Rock after taking part in two competitions in Chechia, and this week also marking the start of the Special Olympics.


Celebrating 40 years of inclusion, unity and courage! Tomorrow afternoon's 2025 Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Gibraltar takes on extra significance. It also precedes the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics National Games at the Lathbury Sports Complex. We spoke to Matt Coulthard and Francis Williams.


And, are you new to Gibraltar? or perhaps just love meeting new people? Tomorrow evening there's a social walk that might peak your interest. With Gibraltar becoming increasingly international, the event is a chance for new residents to network. Organisers Emma Vaughan and Lilly Palmer gave us more details about “Walk and Talk”.
