22.08.2019 - The Canary Islands president, Ángel Víctor Torres, reported that the fire in Gran Canarian which has burned 9,200 hectares of land, with a perimeter of 112 kilometres, is now stabilised, although a watch must be kept on it as there are hot areas which could flare up again at any time, in fact all it needs is a wind to reactivate a fire. Nevertheless he warned that the fire is still classified at Level 2 and said that firefighting continues on the ground and from the air. During Wednesday, almost a million litres of water were used on the area. At that time, almost 2,500 people who had been evacuiated, were still not allowed to go home. The most affected borough was Artenara, with almost 60 per cent of its territory burned.
Luckily, the Canarian pine trees are resilient, and usually, following a fire, they eventually start to grow again, recovering the green countryside.

22.08.2019 - The National Police have arrested a 29-year-old man who is accused of threatening the employee at a shop in La Laguna with a pair of scissors and forcing her to hand over her daily takings. The woman was able to convince the man that she had nothing there for him to steal. He was arrested a little later in the vicinity. The man already has a criminal record of 27 offences. Additionally, on the other hand, investigations by National Police officers attribute to him the alleged authorship of the damage caused by breaking at least 24 rear-view mirrors of vehicles parked on the Calles Candilas and Seis de Diciembre streets in that locality. more...

21.08.2019 - After four days of a violent forest fire and successive bad news, the Canary Islands President Ángel Víctor Torres gave a light all-clear yesterday. "It is an extraordinary fire, with very high columns of smoke, many sources of fire and a diameter of 78.8 kilometres. But it is slowly losing its strength and we hope to have it under control soon. The south flank and the Tamadaba National Park are of particular concern," he explained at a press conference. Falling temperatures are another auxiliary factor. The first evacuees were able to return to their homes yesterday. In the meantime, 12,000 hectares of forest have already been burned. more...
21.08.2019 - The Spanish Ministry for Health informed the authorities in Tenerife that a small proportion of the meat produced in Seville and contaminated with the listeria bacteria was sold in small quantities outside Andalusia, which is the area which has reported the most cases.
For example, 1.4 kilograms of minced beef from the brand La Mechá were said to have been bought by a cafeteria in Adeje on July 10. The inspectors are currently checking whether the meat has already been sold or is still in the owner's possession. In this case the meat would be confiscated. There are currently no known cases of the illness in Tenerife. In Andalusia there have been 80 cases of poisoning and two miscarriages possibly caused by eating the contaminated meat.
