-if there is a No Deal Brexit
The UK Government will guarantee EU funding proghrammes in Gibraltar in the event of a No Deal Brexit, said a Gibraltar Government statement today.
The statement recalls that, in November, the European Union and the United Kingdom concluded the terms of an agreement for the orderly departure of the UK from the European Union. Gibraltar was part of that agreement. The Withdrawal Agreement includes a transitional phase until the end of 2020, which also covers Gibraltar. Read more

by CARMEN GOMEZ - a former Miss Gibraltar
I find myself writing about a film which has been brought to my attention; a film to be released in 2020, under the title “Misbehaviour.” My particular interest here is that it has been written about the Miss World contest of 1970, which I took part in. Keira Knightley stars. In fact from what I have gathered, a few of the contestant’s roles have already been cast, with my part being played by an Italian actress, by the name of Elena Marotta.
