Parliament has been in session over the last couple of days, with a lot of information bounced back and forth between the Government and the Opposition. Some topics discussed included the relocation of residents from the Queen’s Hotel to the Sunrise Motel and changes to the payment system for local buses. Kevin Ruiz brought us the details.


It’s going to be a huge couple of days of rugby on the Rock, with the annual visit of the Royal Marines! This year is particularly special: it marks the 360th anniversary of the Royal Marines and the 10th anniversary of the Royal Marines v Gibraltar Rugby fixture. We spoke to the GRFU development officer Tom Reed and national team head coach Lee Forty ahead of the big weekend.

 

Cancer Relief's Biggest Coffee Morning took place today. Aside from the drinks and treats that we’ve come to expect from the event, this year they have also incorporated a Bake Off competition! The winning cake was a gin and tonic sponge cake by Jane Russell. Judges Sharon Garcia from Piece of Cake and GBC’s Ros Astengo told us how difficult is was to pick a favourite.


Jose Mari Ruiz filled us in on all the local sport happening this weekend, with Gibraltar’s cricketers taking on Serbia and some tricky fixtures for Europa FC and St Joseph’s.


And, we end the podcast on this week’s “Llanitos Abroad” feature. Recently we've travelled to Stockholm, Barcelona, Toronto. Today we caught up with multi-award-winning film, TV & games composer Hollie Buhagiar from London.
