A long, drawn-out Nationalist Party leadership election campaign comes to an end in just under a week's time, when the PN's members will go to the polls with a clear question to answer: do they want their next leader to be Alex Borg or Adrian Delia. It has been a campaign spread across over almost three months between two MPs, who were considered as
Mothers of students attending the San Ġorg Preca College Guardian Angel Resource Centre in Hamrun have painted a mixed picture of life inside the school: on one hand, they are happy with what the devoted teachers offer, but on the other, they complain about missing and scarce therapies, vague transition plans, and years of bureaucratic battles. For
The Banda Ċittadina Sliema will today take part in a festive band march for the feast of St Dominic in Vittoriosa.

Many people assume that foot ulcers in diabetes result only from visible injuries like cuts or scrapes. However, this is far from the full picture. In reality, diabetic foot ulcers often develop silently, without any obvious external trauma. Repetitive pressure from walking, unnoticed friction inside shoes or internal inflammation can gradually damage
The REMEDI project is a national research effort addressing one of Malta’s most pressing healthcare challenges: diabetic foot complications. Through a collaborative project between the Department of Podiatry, the Centre for Biomedical Cybernetics at the University of Malta and local biotechnology start-up Tarsos, together with support from Mater Dei

Many are demanding that enforcement be driven by new rules based on prevention strategies rather than punishing those caught driving under the
At St Ignatius College, we believe reflective practice and educational research are not confined to academia – they thrive in classrooms, staff rooms and school corridors. This ethos underpins the annual St Ignatius College Research Symposium, the third edition of which was held on July 1. The symposium celebrates the spirit of inquiry that drives
The government's plans to allow the regularisation and concession of illegal developments is "a clear admission" that the country "struggled" with enforcement, regardless of who was in government, PL MP Carmelo Abela said. The government has issued a number legal notices tied to the planning sector for public consultation. Through them, the government

When we think of problem gambling, we often associate it with the appeal of high stakes, the excitement that comes from winning or the desperation of chasing losses. But an increasingly recognised trigger in the cycle of problem gambling is something far more mundane − boredom. Across cultures and age groups, boredom has emerged not only as a passive
Israel will soon halt or slow humanitarian aid into parts of northern Gaza as it expands its military offensive against Hamas, an official said Saturday, a day after Gaza City was declared a combat zone. The decision was likely to bring more condemnation of Israel's government as frustration grows in the country and abroad over dire conditions for

What can you do in 60 seconds? In short dramas, or “micro dramas”, that’s enough time for a billionaire CEO to fall in love with his contracted wife, or for a werewolf mafia boss to break a curse. These vertically framed, minute-long serials are reshaping the way we consume screen entertainment. Read the full story at Times2 .
The carved wooden pulpit at the parish church of St Catherine of Alexandria in Żurrieq, dating back to 1669, and recognised as the second oldest pulpit in Malta after that of St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, has been restored to its original splendour with the support of the Bank of Valletta Foundation. The restored pulpit was presented during an
Transport Minister Chris Bonett was found to have breached ethics for abusing of the Department of Information to issue the most shockingly partisan offensive statement. However, instead of quietly apologising as other cabinet ministers have done before, he publicly displayed his utter ignorance of the fundamentals of democracy. Bonett announced that
On the last Sunday of July, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, pilgrimaged to Scotland to humbly pay tribute to Donald Trump, the ruler of the American Empire. It was, in every respect, a humiliating prostration for Europe. Trump received Von der Leyen at his own Turnberry golf course, south of Glasgow, but not before finishing
Antonio Conte jumped up and down and whirled his arms like a child as he ran around in delirium. The fans inside the Stadio Armando Diego Maradona also erupted in joy. Three months after beating Cagliari to secure its fourth Serie A title, Napoli was again celebrating a victory over the Sardinian club. What made it so dramatic this time was that Frank
Ruben Amorim couldn't watch. Bruno Fernandes was about to take a penalty in the seventh minute of stoppage time that could well determine Amorim's future as Manchester United manager, and it was too much for the Portuguese coach who has had the weight of the world on him this week. So, he slid into his seat in the dugout, put his crossed feet up on
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Saturday the bloc should consider all options on how to maximise the use of Russian frozen assets to help Ukraine, in the face of opposition from key player Belgium. The EU froze some €200 billion of Russian central bank assets after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the vast majority of which are held by the international
According to a Eurostat survey that was conducted between 2020 and 2024 across 27 European member states, Malta is the EU leader when it comes to reporting domestic and gender-based violence. However, what was also revealed through the data gathered from over 3,000 Maltese women is that one in four women in Malta has experienced abuse by an intimate
