Simon Parkes, Weather Advisory, Police Federation, Sports, Stroke Awareness
Description
Gibraltar's Coroner's Court will open an inquest touching on the death of Simon Parkes, the sailor who disappeared in Gibraltar on the 12th December 1986. The Minister for Justice, Nigel Feetham, has given his consent. This follows a campaign by GBC Journalist Ros Astengo, with the support of lawyers acting on a pro-bono basis, to help bring justice for his family.
Over the course of the morning the MET office issued a weather advisory for heavy rain from ten this morning until one tomorrow night. A separate heavy rain warning may be issued if the total rainfall is expected to be more than 50 millimetres in six hours. We spoke to Principal Meteological Officer, Katy Lowe.
The Police Federation says a strong message needs to be sent out to anyone who believes they can use violence against emergency service and care workers with no more than a slap on the wrist. The police union says officers dedicate their lives to protecting the public and all they ask in return is to be protected in return. Chairman of the Police Federation, Calum Bruce, stressed this further in the studio.
Jose Mari Ruiz brought us the latest in sports, with both men’s and women’s football, the Special Olympics in Monaco, and Ironman 70.3 over in Tangier.
And, tomorrow is Stroke Awareness Day - there are several symptoms that you can look out for which can make a difference for the patient. In 2014 our Sports Co-ordinator, John Sheppard suffered a stroke during an indoor football match. The reaction time by those around him saved his life.
