The Government has not had any confirmation from Spain as to whether or not bridging measures for red ID card holders will continue once the new electronic frontier system is in place. Asked by GBC, Number Six said the only information available to the Government at this time is what it said in the Technical Notice issued this week. That notice said Spain and Schengen authorities are obliged to treat Gibraltarians as third-party nationals. This means, should the bridging measures not be extended, the full effect of a hard Brexit could become a reality for the first time for many Gibraltarians this November. Our reporter Christina Cortes told us more.The Netherlands had Van Gogh, Italy had Da Vinci, and Gibraltar has Hook. Christian's been a busy man of late, recently back from Greece on one of his latest projects. He's put one of his original works up for sale, with the profits set to be donated to Calpe House.

“I want my kids to grow up knowing who I am in real life, not just in their head. I cry in front of them, I'm peculiar, I'm a little weird. I want to show them all facets of myself so they can embrace it for themselves.”   - Brandon McAnderson  Brandon McAnderson is a former All-Big 12 Running Back at the University of Kansas, and today is a sideline reporter and pre-game host for KU football games. He is also an active member in the Kansas City community who brings men together to grow spiritually and address commonly held (and harmful) male stigmas present in today's world.  In today's show, Brandon shares why Father's Day is a good time for men to check in on their mental health. That means pausing and reflecting on all you have done as a father this year, and more importantly celebrating the big and small moments that you bring to your kids' lives – spiritually, mentally, and even a vulnerable side to let them see the real you, and not an idea of who you are. Brandon shares stories about his father, and the gratitude that has grown in his heart over the years for his dad, so much that his fatherhood has impacted the way he sees and loves his own two boys today. Brandon also opens up about his own bout of depression, and his inspirational journey toward healing and how it led to helping more men in our community.  Later, Dr. Robin chats with Sabrah Parsons, who is an Aquatics Director at the YMCA of Greater Kansas City. When she finished swimming lessons at age 15, little did she know that when her mother signed her up to be a lifeguard, that would be where she found her passion for swim safety. Sabrah shares that drowning is the number two leading accidental death for ages 0-8 – and it's completely preventable with drowning prevention classes. Sabrah describes what parents can look for in flotation devices for kids, and how to know if a swim class will teach their kids the proper techniques to self-rescue if there comes a time.  Three Takeaways:   How depression can show up in subtle ways and hide behind failure in our lives.  Relying on other people to make us happy isn't realistic – we need to search for the right mental health tools that work for us and have them ready in our pocket before a crisis happens.  Why swim lessons can prevent drownings up to 80% - plus three important moves the YMCA aquatic program teaches kids to promote self-rescue.  Mentioned In the Episode:  The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz  Big Shifts Foundation  YMCA of Greater Kansas City  Drowning prevention classes at the YMCA  Puddle Jumper flotation devices for kids Connect:   Facebook  Instagram  LinkedIn  Twitter  YouTube

A group of carjackers that had been targeting drivers in Bucks County were caught after crashing one of the vehicles they had only recently stolen.

Could they select a Krasner-like figure? The article is available on RealClearPennsylvania.com. On Thursday night, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) announced that Philadelphia will be one of the cities to host tournament games for the 2026 men’s World Cup.
