This year sees the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, with countries around the world marking the anniversary with different events. Loads to look forward to here on the rock as we commemorate the anniversary of the end of World War II. Minister for Culture Christian Santos joined us in the studio to whet the appetite.


The second phase of Hassan Centenary Terraces is now complete. Buyers from Phase 2 can expect a phone call in the next few days letting them know that Notices to Complete are available. Our reporter Kevin Ruiz is working on the story.


Lincoln Red Imps are league champions. For the 29th time. Jose Mari Ruiz told us just how close the title race was over the weekend, and also brought us the latest in futsal,  basketball, and darts.


Sticking with sports, this coming weekend James Perera and Tom Appleton will become the first Gibraltarians ever to compete in Weightlifting in Spain. We asked James Perera how he’s feeling ahead of el Campeonato de Andalucia.


And, in a world full of tensions and disagreements, one thing that unites all is football. That was evident recently as local charity Rifcom held an annual tournament in Chefchaouen high in the Rif mountains. We spoke to Gemma Podesta and Tom Cawthorn from RifCom.
