Coming up on today’s show with Jonathan Scott:


1.     Principal Auditor's Report – it’s emerged that a public servant and prominent GSLP activist was paid over £250,000 in a taxpayer-funded settlement, after over three years on paid garden leave. The officer is now employed by the Ministry of Justice; Court documents obtained by GBC confirm she is Joelle Baglietto. The Chief Minister says he has received death threats as a result of the Principal Auditor's report, and what he says is its sensationalist and biased nature and language. Fabian Picardo says the report's publication and coverage has led to "libellous accusations, threats of violence, and members of our community feeling publicly vilified."

 

2.     Queens Hostel – GBC Newsroom’s Iain Triay Clarence updates on the refurbishment progress.

 

3.     Island Games – The latest update also from the Orkney Islands with Jose Marie Ruiz.

Robin Sheppard-Capurro spoke to the youngest member of Team Gibraltar, 13yr old swimmer Katie Maddox who beat her personal best in backstroke.

 

4.     Davina Barbara from Cultural Services outlines a new initiative: the 'reading passport' is aimed at getting children to embark on a summer of discovering new books.
