Employer fined and jailed for accident with meat grinder

AN employer has been sentenced to one year in prison after a worker suffered an accident whilst cleaning a meat grinding machine.

The court in Alicante also ordered the employer to pay more than €230,000 in compensation to the worker who was not legally employed and listed on Social Security, and had to have three fingers amputated as a result of the accident in August 2008.

The defendant was accused of not offering the man the correct protective equipment and the court was told the machine lacked the necessary safety devices. The defendant denied the charges and said the man was a friend working “out of friendship.”

Prince invited to inaugurate ‘Caminito del Rey’

MALAGA Provincial Government has sent an official request to the Royal Household to invite Prince Felipe to inaugurate the ‘Caminito del Rey’ next year.

The project to restore the so-called ‘death walkway’ in El Chorro near Alora, which is of great environmental and tourism interest for the province, has a budget of €3.12 million from the Provincial Government and is due to be ready for opening in early 2015.

The President of the Provincial Government, Elias Bendodo, said it should cease to be a dangerous and banned place to become somewhere that everyone can enjoy.

The Camino del Rey passes across the Gaitanes Gorge between Alora, Ardales and Antequera, and was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1921, Prince Felipe’s great-grandfather. It has been closed for many years due to its dilapidated state. It was built between 1901 and 1905.

It is 100 metres above the river and will be four kilometres long and one metre wide. The new walkway will be made of wooden panels on metal supports drilled into the rock. There will be parts with glass panels so visitors can see the gorge below.

The works have been assigned to local company Sando and will require builders specialised in working at heights as well as a helicopter. There will also be assistance from experienced climbers.

Meet billionaire Russian 'Tsarina'

• Margarita Louis-Dreyfus is in the top 200 billionaires on the planet. Why?


• Inherited commodities giant Louis Dreyfus Holdings from late husband


• First woman to lead the firm in it's 160-year-history, learned to manage "big egos"


• Mother-of-three was an orphan who grew up in Soviet Union

Leading Women connects you to extraordinary women of our time. Each month, we meet two women at the top of their field, exploring their careers, lives and ideas.

(CNN) -- She's been dubbed the Russian "Tsarina," a former circuit-board-equipment seller who happened to sit next to one of the world's richest business moguls on a plane -- and now heads his company.

Meet Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, the chairperson of French commodities giant Louis Dreyfus Holdings, with a net worth estimated at an eye-watering $6 billion according to Forbes.

Orphaned at seven after her parents died in a train accident, Louis-Dreyfus was raised by her grandfather in what was then the Soviet Union, studying law at Moscow State University.

She met her future husband, billionaire Robert Louis-Dreyfus, on a plane in 1988. When he died from leukemia two decades later, the mother of three was left in charge of one of the biggest commodity companies on the planet, as well as the French football club Olympique de Marseille.

You might not recognize the 160-year-old Louis Dreyfus firm, but it's the one trading 70 million tonnes of agricultural goods each year, employing 30,000 people.

And since 1851 it's been handed down from one male heir to another -- until now.

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus sat down with CNN's Leading Women to talk about the act of "fate" that sat her next to her future husband, how his illness taught her to manage "big egos," and her plans for a company which claims to feed and clothe 500 million people worldwide.

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus with Vincent Labrune, president of French football club Olympique de Marseille, of which she is the owner.

"My memories of growing up in St Petersburg are very positive. I grew up without parents, but with my grandfather. But I didn't feel that I was really abandoned -- I had enough love from him. During the week I was in the boarding school and when I came home every weekend I had fun with my friends. I was not cold in winter -- I'm telling you this because many people expected that I suffered from hunger. The Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s was OK. Of course I didn't have the luxury that children have today, but I had freedom. I had time to read which was very important generally for Russian children. It gave me a sense of the wide world and gave me a wish to see the world."

"I met Robert on the plane on the way from Zurich to New York. We made a stop in London where he had just started his job as CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi and I was going on vacation to Switzerland from New York. We met shortly on the plane, a short conversation, and after this when I came back from vacation we met again. He was coming to Switzerland every weekend because his dog was here. The plane was empty and the computer put us together and I was wondering why...but it was kind of fate."

"The moment I gave birth to the twins I learned Robert had leukemia. So nobody can live a normal life anymore. I had been a housewife up until the birth of the twins. Then came this big sickness that changed our lives completely. And we couldn't have a normal family vacation where everybody was happy and everybody was running around. The sickness was always there and we were traveling to different doctors But we had many hopes that he would still have many more years."

"The medical world is also a man's world. In the three years of fighting for Robert's life I had to unite five big professors from around the world at one table. Each of them had different ideas and different strategies and were used to their decision being followed. So for me, I felt the strength of the woman. Because all of these men, they have big egos and I was kind of there to absorb these egos, give them the feeling of respecting their opinion -- even if you don't take it. Later when I came to the man's world of commodities, also with big egos, I was used this experience. Nobody knows everything so the main thing is to work together."

"The Louis Dreyfus Foundation has a focus on giving back. It's a new project for us, it's now one-year-old and the whole idea was about education. For example in Israel, the youth orchestra includes Arabic children together with Jewish children who are learning through music how to love together. You know 'education' is a magic word. And this magic word also becomes important in our foundation -- educating the farmers on how to produce sustainably and to feed themselves."

Is this YouTube's secret weapon?

Who is Susan Wojcicki, the new head of YouTube?

• Meet Susan Wojcicki: the new head of YouTube


• Rented her garage to Google founders back in 1998


• Helped start Google Images and Google Books


• Mother-of-four makes sure she spends every evening with family

Editor's note: Leading Women connects you to extraordinary women of our time -- remarkable professionals who have made it to the top in all areas of business, the arts, sport, culture, science and more.

(CNN) -- YouTube has a new boss and she has a "healthy disregard for the impossible" -- according to Google CEO Larry Page.

In that case, 45-year-old Susan Wojcicki has quite the job ahead of her. Not least of which, trying to work out how the video-sharing giant should display advertising on its website -- and get online viewers to watch it.

Before she was head of YouTube, Wojcicki was senior vice president of advertising and commerce at Google -- the company, which instead of trying to compete with the popular video-sharing website, decided to buy it for $1.65 billion in 2006.

Ok, so apart from disregarding impossible things, what do we know about the highest-ranking woman at Google? Tip: there's your first clue.

Why Cherie Blair refused to adjourn her career

Google started in her garage. Cast your mind back to 1998. Steve Jobs had just introduced the world's first iMac, the internet still had a dial-up tone, and a couple of computer-savvy Stanford University students were setting up a search engine in Wojcicki's Californian garage. Those students were Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and their search engine would eventually become the multi-billion dollar global technology company we know today: Google.

She's part of the Google dynasty. Since she first rented her garage to Brin and Page to help pay her mortgage 16 years ago, Wojcicki has been deeply rooted in the Google Dynasty -- yep, such a thing exists. She was the 16th person they hired and is married to fellow Google executive Dennis Troper. Her younger sister Anne married Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and her teacher and journalist mother Esther has consulted the company on education issues.

She was four months pregnant when she joined Google. Wojcicki's friends told her she was crazy when she left her job at Intel to join the start-up company while pregnant with her first child. Today, Wojcicki says it was one of the best decisions of her life. Family remains incredibly important to the mother-of-four, who always tries to be home in time for dinner and tells colleagues not to contact her between 6pm and 9pm when she's with her children.

As a kid she wanted to be an artist. "In some ways I think that's what actually led me to technology," Wojcicki told Makers.com. "I thought: 'This is like a new way of making things.'" One of three sisters, her father is Stanford University physics professor, Stanley Wojcicki, and her mother is journalist and educator, Esther Wojcicki. Susan is also a huge supporter of girls in technology -- you can read her open letter on the subject here.

She's behind Google Images and Google Books. When Wojcicki joined Google in 1999, she became the company's first marketing manager, later leading the initial development of high-profile projects like Google Images and Google books. As senior vice president of advertising and commerce, she was responsible for the company's advertising products -- accounting for 87% of its revenues in 2012. And when Google bought YouTube eight years ago, she was right behind it -- which seems all the more fitting, considering her new position.

Torrox beach to get breakwater by summertime

WORK to build a much needed breakwater in Ferrara beach in Torrox Costa will start in spring.

Sources at Torrox council told local newspaper La Opinion de Malaga the breakwater will prevent further problems at the beach from this summer.

This is on top of the Ministry of Environment testing a new method to replenish beaches with sand on the Axarquia beaches of Ferrara and Mezquitilla.

It is hoped the 120 metres long eight metres wide breakwater will put an end to work to continuously restore the beach after storm damage. Over the last 20 years €12 million has been spent on replenishing the beach.

Ferrara beach business-owners have described this work as “historic,” although some of them have asked the ministry to make the breakwater project public.

The building of the breakwater will be possible thanks to an agreement reached by the Coastal Demarcation department, the Malaga provincial government and Torrox council.

The latter two public bodies will contribute €200,000 of the €500,000 investment necessary for the project.
