People enjoy a meal in a restaurant in Gibraltar, UK on Thursday March 25, 2021. (AP Photo/Javier Fergo)With its hospital free of COVID-19 patients and only one new coronavirus infection reported in a full week, the tiny British overseas territory of Gibraltar is allowing itself some prudent celebration. The territory of 33,000, located in the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, is ending a night-time curfew imposed three months ago to contain a surge of infections. Gibraltar's midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew ends Thursday, allowing bars and restaurants to stay open until 2 a.m. Gibraltar was hardest hit by the pandemic around Christmas, in a wave that caused most of its total tally of 4,271 cases and 94 deaths.

People cross the Gibraltar airport runway towards the border crossing with Spain, backdropped by the Gibraltar rock, in Gibraltar, Friday, March 5, 2021.

The narrow British overseas territory stretching between Spain and the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea is emerging from a devastating virus surge. Finding that balance can be tricky for a territory linked to both Spain and the U.K. As a British territory, Gibraltar has received five vaccine consignments from London, mostly the Pfizer-BioNTech jab. In Spain, restrictions have tamed an end-of-the-year coronavirus surge that strained public hospitals.

CNNTEHRAN - The UK-flagged oil tanker Stena Impero has left Iran, where it has been detained since July 19, and is heading for international waters. The ship sailed from Bandar Abbas port at 9 a.m. local time on Friday, Iran's state-run news agency IRNA reported. The company operating the ship, Stena Bulk, also confirmed the tanker's release. Twenty-three crew members -- none of them British -- were on board. Earlier this month, seven Indian crew members aboard the tanker were released.

CNNTEHRAN - The British-flagged tanker Stena Impero is "free to leave," Iranian officials said Monday, marking the end of a two-month standoff between Tehran and London over the detained vessel. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) captured the Stena Impero in the Strait of Hormuz on July 19 amid increasing hostility between Tehran and the West. While the tanker was sailing under a UK flag, the company that operates it is headquartered in Sweden. The ship was seized two weeks after the UK detained an Iranian tanker off the coast of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory on the edge of southern Spain. Gibraltar authorities released that ship in late August, despite eleventh-hour efforts by the United States to halt the move.

The Adrian Darya, formerly known as the Grace 1, set sail under an Iranian flag for an unknown destination. With the arrival of two engineering teams from two separate locations, the tanker is expected to depart Gibraltar tonight," Iran's ambassador to the UK, Hamid Baeidinejad, said earlier in the day via Twitter. It was seized July 4 in territorial waters of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory on the edge of southern Spain. The Adrian Darya's owner said the released Iranian tanker would head to the Mediterranean, Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency, citing Iranian Maritime official Jalil Eslami, reported last week. The US also got involved in the standoff when the Justice Department applied to extend the Iranian tanker's seizure and block its release.

Water levels are so high that boats can't get under some bridges Downriver. Gibraltar is one of several communities impacted by the high water levels -- waves break over seawalls and some bridges are unpassable. Three of the five Great Lakes reached record-high levels this year and the other two still might break their records. Brian Wegher raised the seawalls near his home a few years ago, but the current water levels have made him consider raising them again. The National Weather Service is expected to release its report on the Great Lake's levels during June on Wednesday.
