Trusted Novus Bank is celebrating its fifth birthday. What have the main challenges been? The owner of TNB is investing heavily in Gibraltar, what does that mean for the bank? How is global uncertainty impacting day to day business? Questions that our reporter Shelina Assomull has put to the bank's CEO Christian Garcia this morning. 

Another season of City Pulse came to a heart-warming end last night, and it did feel a little emotional. Kevin Ruiz was joined by his regular contributors: Kenneth Cardona, Davinia Torrilla, Denise Matthews, David Revagliatte, Michelle & Ricky Rugeroni. There were mantecados, un cake, and even a t-shirt which the contributors gave Kevin saying “ser felices & build community”. We spoke to Kevin after yesterday’s show.

Passover is a celebration of the story of Exodus. During Passover, the Jewish community remembers how their ancestors left slavery behind them when they were led out of Egypt by Moses.Today, the focus is on resilience, redemption, and renewal in the face of persecution and uncertainty. Rabbi Noiky Roberts joined us in the studio.

The Gibraltar Heritage Trust have announced the date for their annual painting competition. This year the theme is “Witham’s Cemetery”, and their asking local artists to capture the view, or an aspect of, this historic site. Rebecca Fa from the Heritage Trust told us more.

And, she may be known for her social activism with Action for Housing, but there are other sides to Zohra El Gharbaoui. As she showed recently on The Hub, when she delivered a few excellent coplas! She’s putting on a music show on the 24th April inspired by her love for traditional Spanish songs.
