Richard Ullger has been cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation by the UK’s National Crime Agency. Allegations against the Police Commissioner had been made by lawyers for RGP Inspector Sean Picton and former police officer Anthony Bolaños during a pre-trial hearing. The two are facing charges of misconduct in Public Office. The Police Authority confirmed it has received the NCA report but will not be commenting further at this stage. Ros Astengo has been following the story.


The Cavalcade on Sunday reminded us just how important the weather can be in determining our plans. GBC’s weather forecasts are prepared by the Gibraltar MET Office; meteorologist Clement Hutin reflected on 2024, it being the second warmest year on record.


A new GBC podcast has dropped! 'Born on the Rock: Gibraltar Birth Stories' brings together a collection of unique experiences from parents about what it's like to have a baby on the Rock. It's produced and hosted by our very own Lucinda Snape.


The New Year's Eve concert in Casemates is always special. This year, heavy rain on the morning of the 31st meant that equipment and the stage were waterlogged. The DJs were able to perform but live music couldn't go ahead due to safety concerns. The musicians who didn't get to take part will now feature in a new event this weekend at Grand Battery House. We spoke to Musician and organiser of the NY Collective, Nolan Frendo.


And, are you looking for new books to add to your reading list in 2025? We live by the sea, how about a locally-produced maritime thriller? 'The Bridge' is a detective novel dealing with a death on the high seas, set against the back drop of a wind farm. Gibraltar based author Faye Louise told us more about the novel, without giving too much away.
