4 FRIDAY 30TH AUGUST 2019 www.weekender.news QUICK DIP THEFTS by Alex Trelinski THE NUMBER of swimmers on Barcelona area beaches having their belongings stolen whilst they are in the water has got so serious, that the local police have handed out almost 200 emergency kits to victims this year. Included in the set is a T-shirt with the city’s logo on, a pair of shorts, flip flops and a metro ticket. So far this summer, 174 bathers have been helped by the police, with officer patrols being stepped up to try and curb the problem across the Catalan capital’s ten main beaches. The most popular beach is at La Barceloneta, with 900 thefts reported there over the season. Second infant death lands parents in jail A couple from Caudete (Albacete) are reported to have been jailed after their infant son suffered a traumatic death, 18 months after another baby of theirs died in mysterious circumstances. The first child, aged just four months, was admitted to Albacete hospital in January 2018 with head injuries and later died from cerebral bleeding. Although the Guardia Civil said that their explanation was inadequate - they stated they had found the boy in that condition - they were not detained, although a homicide investigation was opened. The mother soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another boy this February. by Simon Russell At the same age, four months, emergency services were contacted and the baby was found dead in the defendants home. He had suffered severe rib injuries and the autopsy showed signs of previous similar injuries. In this instance the couple were arrested and have remained in jail since July, although both protest their innocence, blaming possible medical malpractice. A trial is likely to follow unless evidence is found clearing the couple, while questions may also be asked of social services and the police after the second death. Cop with kit RYANAIR pilots based in Spain have announced five days of strike in the second half September, after the carrier confirmed that it will close its bases in Las Palmas, Tenerife <strong>South</strong>, Lanzarote and Girona in January, putting the jobs of more than 500 pilots and cabin crew at risk. The carrier told staff last month that it planned to cut its presence on the ground at airports due to delays in the delivery of the grounded Boeing 737 MAX. A union spokesman said around 900 pilots would be invited to walk out on September 19th, 20th, 22nd, 27th, and 29th, with some of those dates coinciding with STRIKES GALORE by Alex Trelinski planned strikes already announced by cabin crew staff in Spain. The crew have called strikes for September 1st, 2nd, 6th, 8th, 13th, 15th, 20th, 22nd, 27nd and 29th in protest at the closures. UK-based pilots took strike action over their contracts at the end of last week, with Ryanair saying all of their scheduled flights were largely unaffected.
