Moment Scottish gangster chased through his Spanish pub and shot dead
The moment a Scottish gangster was chased and shot dead in a pub he owns on the Costa del Sol has been broadcast on Spanish TV.
Ross Monaghan, 43, and his associate Eddie Lyons Jnr, also from Scotland, were killed at the Irish bar in Fuengirola, Spain at around 11pm on Saturday.
The unknown gunman first shot Lyons Jnr outside the pub, where it's understood he died instantly.
Footage shared by Telecinco programme El Programa de Ana Rosa then shows the killer, who is dressed in black, walk towards Monaghan inside the bar.
Monaghan stumbles and drops to his knees in front of him, before trying to desperately scramble away.
He appears to turn to look at the assailant who then fires at least four rounds at the gangster at close range. Monaghan died at the scene.
In the video, bystanders can be seen fleeing as the terrifying killings unfold.
The gunman reportedly fled the scene on foot, before jumping into a getaway car that sped off.
Pictures taken shortly after show Lyons lying on his back in shorts and a T-shirt outside the pub while onlookers stand nearby.
Just before the murders, drinkers at the pub had been watching the Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan.
The wife of one of the victims witnessed the attack, according to Malaga-based news outlet Sur, although it did not say which one.
Monaghan and Lyons are described as top members of the Lyons crime clan.
Spanish police said on Monday they had yet to make any arrests.
'The investigation is continuing into the fatal shooting of two men at a pub in Fuengirola, with nothing new at the moment,' a spokesperson said.
Court officials are expected to confirm today that a secrecy order has been placed on the investigation, preventing public officials from making any detailed public comment, reports the MailOnline. More Trending
These are often placed early on in criminal probes in Spain to protect the investigations.
It's thought investigators are working on the theory that British nationals are behind the murders.
On April 21, a 32-year-old man from Liverpool was shot dead as he headed home from playing football with friends in Calahonda, not far from Fuengirola where the weekend's shooting took place.
Four days earlier, a 34-year-old man was taken to hospital after being shot outside a nightclub in Calahonda.

Hollyoaks reveals how Jez is caught out as Sienna makes a horrifying discovery
The walls begin to close in on Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) in Hollyoaks next week as Sienna (Anna Passey) starts to piece together the truth about his crimes. The crazed killer has claimed the lives of numerous show favourites, including Dilly Harcourt (Emma Johnsey-Smith) and Dennis Savage (Joe Tracini). He's also to blame for Abe Fielding's (Tyler Conti) demise and that of Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe), as well as murdering social worker Ian Stone. Jez's murderous antics date back decades, with mum Martha (Sherrie Hewson) having covered up for him for years. While Sienna has some inkling of what her twisted biological father is capable of after she helped him dispose of Dilly's body, she remains in the dark about his true penchant for murder. But that all begins to change next week. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video As audiences know, there have been ructions in the Blake household in the wake of Jez's twisted relationship with Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart) having been exposed. Jez and Liberty, however, are unfazed it seems, with the former asking the latter to be his partner in the upcoming Hollyoaks in Bloom flower show. The Blakes remain divided about the relationship, though Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) urges Sienna to support her family. Jez, meanwhile, wants to be a better person for Sienna after everything she's done for him and thus he sets Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham) free for his happy-ever-after with Vicky Grant (Anya Lawrence). More Trending But will such a thing come to pass? The jury is still out and, as for Jez, time is running out as Sienna is left confused after discovering that Dilly's DNA was found on Ian and Dennis' evidence. Determined to get answers, she heads to the allotment. However, Jez isn't not there and Sienna spots something in the flower beds – and begins to dig. The scenes in question were previewed in Hollyoaks' Summer Trailer last week and let's just say that they're intense. A showdown follows but will Jez finally pay for his crimes?

Woman caught at customs with four snakes stuffed down her bra
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video This is the moment staff got a slippery surprise at a ferry port when they went in to investigate what was hidden inside a woman's bra. They noticed a woman trying to rush through Futian Port on the border between mainland China and Hong Kong appearing all flustered. While she told the officials that she had nothing to declare they sensed something wasn't quite right. It turned out that their instincts were correct because as soon as they looked inside the woman's bra something was found… four endangered ball pythons. Video footage shows them placed in socks inside the woman's bra while staff release them onto a table. While the slithering reptiles are fairly small, they appear pretty ferocious as they stare into the camera. After the shock discovery, the officials pulled the woman aside for some questioning. She revealed to them that she was transporting them onto the mainland for a small carrying fee. Staff had no choice but to take the hissing reptiles away from the woman and an investigation is now being carried out. Ball pythons are categorised as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List. They are also a protected species in China where it is illegal to keep them as a pet. Surprisingly, this isn't the first time a woman decided to stuff an animal down her bra. More Trending It happened at Miami International Airport last week where a woman was stopped because she had two turtles down there. Tragically, one of the turtles died in the bra. The Transportation Security Administration joked about it all and said in a statement: 'We want you to be able to travel with your pets, and you turtle-ly can, but please travel with them safely.'

How has the US reported on Donald Trump's Scotland visit?
Welcome to this week's Media Watch! There really is only one topic in town to discuss this week and that is the arrival of a US convicted felon in Scotland. The National's front page which refused to name the US president has gone viral across the globe, but how has the American media been covering his 'private' trip? Translating Scots phrases The American media has not shied away in the slightest from placing the focus on the protests Donald Trump has been faced since he touched down on Friday. MSNBC was particularly thorough about making sure Americans understood the exact sentiment Scots were expressing. One protester held up a sign at Turnberry – where Trump owns a golf course – saying 'release the files ya lyin' jobbie' in reference to the Epstein files Trump has been told he is mentioned in multiple times. He has come under fire for not releasing the documents. Trump was told by US Attorney General Pam Bondi that he appears in the files related to investigations into the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during the US Department of Justice's review of the case in May. Reporter Jen Psaki spoke about the sign on MSNBC and chose to translate the word 'jobbie' for the American public. With an image of the sign on the screen, she said: 'One sign there reading 'release the files ya lyin' jobbie'. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right, but jobbie, which I learned today is Scottish slang for poop, so there's that. READ MORE: Donald Trump responds to John Swinney's indyref2 plan 'In case that's useful for anyone out there this weekend, now you know. Jobbie [means] poop.' The same news report also highlighted a sign put up at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire that says 'twinned with Epstein Island', with the newsreader speculating it 'took a lot of planning' as it 'looks like it was meant to be there'. And Psaki spoke for a segment about bald SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn saying he'd be 'washing his hair' during the Trump visit. It was just one report that showed American media outlets have really been enjoying the trademark Scottish humour on display during the president's trip. Wit, bite and bagpipes This is how the Washington Post described the Scottish welcome Trump received, another outlet that spoke extensively about the various satirical placards on display. The article described many signs as having 'unmistakable Scottish flair', such as one that said 'pipe down Donald', held up by someone playing the bagpipes. They also went to the efforts of translating Scottish slang, explaining that a sign saying 'Nae Trump' meant 'no Trump' and that the phrase 'radge' referred to a wild, crazy or violent person. 'Some children were photographed with signs that read, 'Keep orange fizzy, not fascist', with a logo of Irn-Bru, a popular Scottish soft drink,' the article said. READ MORE: Donald Trump: Maybe all US-UK trade deal benefits should go to Scotland It is clear American journalists were so impressed with the effort protesters went to that they wanted to do it justice in their reporting by letting Americans know in great detail the opposition the president was facing in the land of his mother's birth. Protests were also covered extensively by the New York Times, CBS and PBS. Private and presidential crossover Other coverage has focused on the more far-reaching implications of Trump's trip. CNN homed in on how Trump's trip is 'an example of the president blending private business with official duties'. CNN reporter Jeremy Herb wrote a piece laying out that while the White House was calling his trip a 'working visit', he felt it was the latest example 'of using the trappings of the White House to promote and enrich his businesses while in office'. It goes on: 'Ethics watchdogs say the sprawling number of business ventures Trump is pushing in his second term — including those that benefit from White House policy, such as crypto — has far outpaced that of his first four years in office.' 'Trump is using a driver to smash through basic governmental ethics norms. He's deploying the power of the White House to enrich himself and his family,' said Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, a consumer rights advocacy group, who spoke to the media outlet. 'The grift in the Trump administration was the greatest in American history, and it is orders of magnitude worse in the second administration,' Weissman added. 'He's misdirecting policy and taxpayer assets to serve his personal interest, rather than those of the American people.' The White House has repeatedly rejected allegations that Trump is blending his businesses with the presidency.
