Our main question today is: should the voting age be lowered from 18 to 16? Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia gave us his thoughts.


Ahead of an event this evening, Together Gibraltar is asking: are we doing enough to ensure our long-term success? Nicholas Calamaro was in the studio.


The Gibraltar American Chamber of Commerce are marking Thanksgiving with a gala dinner. James Lasry told us more.


Black Friday is always busy in the shops, and the Police are working with traders to tackle card fraud. Detective Constable Emily Bright gave us some tips. We also heard from the Federation of Small Businesses, who hope to incentivise shopping local in the run up to Christmas.


Christina Cortes brought us the latest from the Development and Planning Commission. They unanimously rejected a proposal for a new 22-storey building to replace the existing Devonport apartment block at West Place of Arms.


And, Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health and could lead to more deaths than cancer by 2050. The issue is being highlighted in this World Antimicrobial Resistance Week, under the theme, "Preventing antimicrobial resistance together". Ros Astengo told us more about the story.
