Spectators injured due to parachuting protestor at Euro 2020 match

Jun 16 2021

After a protestor parachuted into the stadium before the Germany versus France match, several spectators had to be treated in hospital due to falling debris. The protestor hit wires for an overhead camera attached to the stadium roof, barely missing France’s coach Didier Descahmps. The authorities will be taking necessary action as the governing body of European soccer called the act reckless and dangerous.

The parachutist, with the parachute itself carrying the slogans ‘KICK OUT OIL’ and ‘Greenpeace’, landed on the field with German players Antonio Rudiger and Robin Gosens approaching him before being led away by security. The parachutist lost control upon impact with the wires, veering away from playing area and barely clearing the spectator’s heads.

Air Malta refocuses on Paris and Amsterdam as it cuts UK flights

Jun 16 2021

Following the UK’s decision to keep Malta off the green travel list, Air Malta has cancelled all flights to Manchester and cut off flight frequency to Heathrow to just six times per week. Instead, the airline will be focusing its flight frequency to Paris and Amsterdam as bookings from these countries get a strong boost. Flights to Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport will be upped to six times a week, one flight per day except on Wednesdays as of July 20th.

Amsterdam flights will also be working every day except for Thursdays and Sundays, along with more flights to be added come September. 11 return flights to the London airport will be removed. London’s ‘The Sunday Times’ reported that UK ministers ‘ignored scientific advice’ when making the decision, since Malta’s case numbers are some of the lowest in all of Europe.
