The new rules British travellers will face in Gibraltar
UK visitors to Gibraltar will face new Brexit-related red tape, including potential refusal of entry by Spanish officials, once the post-Brexit agreement between the UK, Gibraltar, Spain and the EU is ratified.
The deal will introduce two passport checks on arrival, with a Spanish frontier post augmenting Gibraltar 's existing checks, aligning the territory with Schengen area formalities.
British passports will need to be less than 10 years old and valid for at least three months beyond the planned departure date, adhering to stricter Schengen rules.
Future requirements will include providing facial biometrics and fingerprints under the EU's delayed entry-exit system, and EU customs rules will prohibit bringing certain food products from the UK.
The special status allowing British holidaymakers extended stays in Gibraltar will end, with time spent there now counting towards the 90-day Schengen limit, removing an option for long-stayers.

Endangered giant leatherback turtle spotted off Devon coast in ‘incredible' sighting
A LEATHERBACK turtle swaps tropical waters to prey on jellyfish off Devon. The 7ft reptile was spotted gliding past Petra and Mike Threlfall's boat on Wednesday. 4 4 Petra, who was also with daughter Molly just 550 yards from Branscombe, said: 'We saw an unusual movement and thought it was a dolphin at first. 'But when its head popped up, it was clearly much bigger. We were so shocked when we realised it was a leatherback turtle. 'We turned off the engine and he was so inquisitive, swimming about and eating jellyfish. 'One movement of his huge flippers and he was gone.' Petra, of Taunton, Somerset, added: 'We feel so lucky to have seen it up so close.' Charlie Hankin saw the turtle 200 yards off Seaton, describing the encounter as 'incredible'. Leatherbacks are usually found in the Caribbean, Med and Canaries. But with sea temperatures rising, this one ventured much farther north. They are the largest turtles at 7ft and 2,000lb and take their name from their dark, leather-like skin. They can regulate their bodies to maintain heat in colder waters where there are plenty of jellyfish. Some subspecies are critically endangered.

British Airways crew mistakenly booked into a sex dungeon and were kept awake by 24-hour orgy
BRITISH Airways crew were mistakenly booked into a sex dungeon — and got no sleep owing to moans and groans from a 24-hour orgy. Staff who tried to kip in bondage-themed beds were unable to work the next day. 3 3 Their bosses booked the team into the Motel in the Italian city of Milan but had confused it with the nearby Hotel. At least 12 staff were made to stay in the seedy hub, which boasts a vagina-shaped spa bath. A source told The Sun: 'Crew were booked into a pay-by-the-hour sex hotel last Thursday. They were confronted with bondage sets, mirrored ceilings, human dog cages and leather harnesses. 'It was obvious that this wasn't the place the crew was supposed to stay. "Getting proper rest is essential to maintaining the safety of aircraft and passengers. 'It was a comical mistake by the hotel booking team, but had serious implications. Some of the team who stayed in the sex dungeon didn't get any sleep, so they couldn't operate on BA services the following day. They were kept awake by thrillseekers moaning and groaning all day and night. 'Staff reported constant noise, and witnessed 'drug deals and prostitution', as well as a '24-hour orgy. 'There were adult workers outside propositing staff. Crew even reported suspicious fluids in their rooms which made their skin crawl.' Despite the mix-up, there were no reported delays to BA flights. The airline said: 'A small number of crew were moved to unapproved hotel rooms due to availability issues with our usual provider, without our knowledge. We are urgently investigating to prevent a repeat.' Group STUNNED after finding 'sex dungeon' in their Airbnb after opening door with broken handle 3

Is it time to hang up on these great red relics?
I n Parliament Square this week, I had to jostle to pass a queue. Reaching the front, I saw what it was for: a red telephone box. But no one was actually making calls. Instead each tourist took their turn, leaning against Gilbert Scott's design classic while a friend snapped a picture with Big Ben in the background. This is, I suppose, why this particular telephone box remains. But it was an empty shell. It didn't even bear the once traditional central London wallpaper of escort calling cards to save its dignity. Presumably that business has gone on to mobile phones too. It had all the melancholic pointlessness of a giant panda being played sexy music by its keepers in the hope it will finally reproduce, or some new scheme to shore up Venice. Sometimes even the noblest of heritage cannot be saved. Just let them die in dignity.
