Border Chaos, Southwell Guilty, Victoria Cross, Nations League
Listen now
Description
Normality has returned at the frontier after a chaotic morning that caused significant delays for commuters. The disruption was triggered by the Spanish police, who were instructed to stamp all Gibraltar passports, rendering Red ID cards invalid. In response, Gibraltar implemented reciprocal measures at 7 AM, requiring Borders and Coastguards to accept only passports. Our News Editor Christine Vasquez was at the border and spoke to the Chief Minister. Graham Southwell, 63, has been found guilty of 19 sexual offences against children. The former GHA and St John Ambulance volunteer has been on trial at the Supreme Court for the last four weeks. The jury took just under 90 minutes to unanimously convict him on all counts. Melanie Chipolina-Guilliano has been following this story, and was in the courts when the verdict was given. The Victoria Cross is the highest military decoration for valour in the British and Commonwealth armed forces. There is a charity dinner tonight to raise funds for the Royal Gibraltar Regiment Benevolent Fund. His Excellency, the Chief Minister and Commander British Forces will all be in attendance. We spoke to one of the guest speakers Warrant Officer Johnson Beharry VC - one of only 3 living British Victoria Cross recipients. And, in the UEFA Nations League, Gibraltar beat San Marino one-nil with a 62nd minute goal from Ethan Britto. It means the national team now sit at the top of Group D with four points, and remains the only unbeaten team in the group. Our sports reporter Louis Parrall told us more about the game, and looked ahead to the team’s upcoming away match against Liechtenstein this weekend.  Hosted on Acast.
