The Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, today met with the Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Lord David Cameron, at the Foreign Office in London in order to discuss the outstanding issues and matters in the ongoing negotiation with the European Union in relation to Gibraltar.
An extensive search and rescue operation carried out early on Saturday morning by the Gibraltar Emergency services discovered a Syrian man, suffering from shock, hyperthermia and scraped hands after him and another Syrian national jumped from a bulk carrier they were working on. The ship, the MV Rising Falcon had been anchored in BGTW until 3am on Saturday when it left the area. The men had intended to swim to shore.
Childline’s annual week of raising awareness and funds takes place from the 16-20 March 2015 and this year the charity is asking companies to become more involved with their work through corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) initiatives.
UK Representative for the Gibraltar Government, Albert Poggio GMH OBE received a Commendation at the prestigious Annual Grassroot Diplomat Initiatives Awards ceremony, held at the Mayfair Hotel in London last night.
Mr. Poggio expressed his immense honour in receiving the award, which ‘celebrates and applauds heroes and heroines who have fought in the name of justice, peace and good governance.’
