The local mayor announced the new legislation today after a video surfaced last week showing sex acts being performed by a young British holidaymaker at a club night called Carnage. The resort’s reputation has been steadily deteriorating for years, but recent revelations about bars and clubs where tourists are encouraged to get drunk and engage in sexual behaviour in public proved the tipping point. Manuel Onieva, the Mayor of Calvia, a region including Magaluf, said the new law was an expression of his “total rejection and anger at the activities which were carried out in a video which is currently on the social media circuit.” In an attempt to clean up seedy bar crawls, any company wanting to operate one in the area will now need to apply for a licence through the town hall. In order to be granted a licence they will have to “prove their responsibility and show that they have the appropriate civil insurances in place,” the mayor said.

Lydia Bright has said she's ready to move on after her split from James "Arg" Argent.

The Only Way Is Essex stars met in Marbella for the first time in more than a year.

Lydia, 24, who is back on screen on the scripted reality show after a two-year break, told the Daily Mirror: "I just want to reach a happy medium where we can be in the same room and not be biting each other's heads off.

"We've argued so much. There have been so many harsh words said."

Arg has apologised for cheating on Lydia with fellow star Amy Childs.

Lydia told the newspaper that she is prepared to bury the hatchet with her ex, but not with Amy.

"I was very upset about it, naturally," she said. "I was more hurt because I had an inkling it was going on and I aired my concerns on the show with Amy.

"I confronted them and they said it wasn't true. Amy had such a big following that the whole nation really went against me.

"They thought they were telling the truth and I was made to feel like I was a pathetic girlfriend."

A suspected drug trafficker from London wanted in connection with an alleged multi-million pound cocaine deal has been arrested on a beach in Marbella. Police swooped on Christopher Mealey, 38, as he walked along the Paseo Maritimo promenade in southern Spain at about 5pm on Monday. A joint operation involving the Spanish National Police, Britain's National Crime Agency and the Metropolitan Police led to his arrest. Seven others have already been handed jail terms totalling more than 130 years in connection with the investigation, the NCA said. Hank Cole, head international operations for the NCA, said: “Mealey thought he could evade capture by fleeing to Spain and using false identity documents but we were able to track him down. "It demonstrates the NCA and its partners have the capability to pursue fugitives relentlessly."

Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger. We've all been there, finishing a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downing cookie after cookie while cramming for a big test. But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.

diets arent the answer emotional eating

Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. But understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.

One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's prompted by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they're stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine's Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.

Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. More often, though, it's the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort or distraction in food.

Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. A kid who is given cookies as a way to stop crying may learn to link cookies with comfort.

It's not easy to "unlearn" patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what's going on.
