Malta is set to relax its total ban on abortion. But the proposed reform is proving highly contentious in the staunchly Catholic country. Great read by @DianaRusk context.news/socioeconomic-…


Malta is to reform the law to allow abortion when a woman's life is at risk or her health is at serious risk. This follows the case of a US tourist who had to be airlifted out of the country to have her pregnancy terminated #abortionban #AbortionRights timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…

Brothers George and Alfred Degiorgio admit to the murder of journalist #DaphneCaruanaGalizia in a sensational turnaround timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…


This is shocking stuff. Three young police officers allegedly go on patrol, choose foreign nationals at random, kidnap and beat them. One victim was beaten so badly, he blacked out. Another was threatened with a knife. timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…

David Beckham waited 13 hours in the queue at Westminster Hall to pay his respects to Queen Elizabeth II.


Oh dear…

"I can't bear this bloody thing!": King Charles' signing ceremony at Northern Ireland's Hillsborough Castle made one thing clear – even royalty can't escape the frustration of an inadequate pen.

I’m in the ‘God Save the King’ camp, but a kid wanting to protest against the monarchy? Is that an arrestable offence in a country that cherishes free speech? Sincerely hope not

This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

The world has lost one of its greatest daughters. Remembering Queen Elizabeth II and the mark she left on the world today.

Malta is one of only 3 EU countries that doesn't cite TV as its main source of news (we prefer "online news platforms" and "social media platforms and blogs"). It's clear throughout the survey that we're pretty social media-obsessed.


The US couple denied an abortion in Malta after a non-viable pregnancy open up about their ordeal in an emotional interview with Claudia Calleja facebook.com/timesofmalta/v…

So we are left to wait and see if the Attorney General will file an appeal against her own incompetence before the justice minister feels comfortable weighing in on the matter of a botched bribery case against Yorgen Fenech's lawyers bit.ly/3y0liDA

How powerful people get away with crimes in #Malta? 1. Lawyer offers money to journalist 2.The police investigate the crime 3.Prosecution,the Attorney General,qualifies the criminal offence wrongly 4.Court is forced to let go the lawyers 5.Lesson learned: don't report crimes.

Shocking incompetence. The judgement makes it clear that if the AG did things they right way, there would have been a conviction. timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…

I said no to Yorgen Fenech’s blood money. Then the prosecution fudged the charges.

Yorgen Fenech’s lawyers cleared of bribing journalist on technicality bit.ly/39SljS3



I remember a shocked @IvanMartin89 informing me one of Yorgen Fenech’s lawyers had just tried to press hundreds of euro into his hand. We exposed it and Ivan has shown courage throughout the ordeal. Today the justice system failed him. And us. timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…


Terrifying (and sad) story here about how @BBCNewsNI journalist Aileen Moynagh was stalked by a teenage boy. Most female journalists I know have had to handle unwanted attention but this is scary stuff irishtimes.com/life-and-style…


In a strong message to #Malta, @ZelenskyyUa says it's "time to stop the privilege". He calls for an end to golden passports, sold to rich Russians. “Please do not allow your island to be abused. " timesofmalta.com/articles/view/…
