We followed the story of union members at the bus company jumping from Unite the Union to the GGCA. Unite has been seeking to talk to bus drivers today, GBC understands the union had not been granted access to the bus depot and has told management it has a right to address its members. We spoke to Ros Astengo from the bus depot to see if there have been any developments.


Monday's ferry service from Morocco to Gibraltar was cancelled leaving a Gibraltar-based mother and young children stranded, with the next scheduled ferry in two weeks. An added issue for the family, the children need medication and were left without enough medication for the extra time they will be staying in Morocco. So what now? We spoke to dad Kyle Fraser.


A basketball initiative to encourage children to get into the sport is being rolled out next month. ‘Hoops For Schools’ is a FIBA Europe initiative and encourages kids from all over Europe to participate in a multi-dimensional basketball program targeting children from 5 -12 years old to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity.


In sport Jose Mari Ruiz told us about the latest in sport with Europa FC in Bulgaria for their Champions League preliminary round, as well as the news on the transfer window for local sides at the start of this season’s Rock Cup.


And a new Llanito comedy, ‘Nightmare En El Museo’, is coming to the Ince's Hall in October. Tickets have gone on sale today. It's a Nathan Conroy and Michael Prescott production, hot on the heels of last year's production. We asked them what the inspiration was for this new production.
