The Toronto Raptors player actually hurt his neck in the win against Italy. Things got much worse when Aron slipped and fell in the bathroom, ruling him out of the entire competition. Australian Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Hughes told various reporters that “It was a complicated series of events,” and “He did suffer an injury during the match on the court, and then he had a slip in the bathroom and suffered further injury.”

This unfortunate injury will hurt the Australian basketball team as they try to capture a historic gold medal. They will be playing Argentina in the quarter-finals

WATCH: Anonymous Maltese rapper Ġaħan debuts track about DCG assassination

Aug 3 2021

A new Hip Hop voice has emerged in the Maltese music scene, despite being completely anonymous as of yet. With his alias called ‘Ġaħan’, likely inspired by the recent Edward Zammit Lewis incident, the rapper centres his first released track around the public inquiry into the murdered journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

‘Noli’ discusses corrupt politicians, Maltese public trust in institutions waning and the danger posed to journalists. The rhyme and flow are top notch as the hooded MC embraces the political climate to offer his criticism through music.

The debut track was met with heaps of praise, many commenting on how he quickly became their favourite local rapper after just one song. Despite not knowing the identity of the rapper, all eyes are locked on this mysterious figure as we await another hit.

Aug 3 2021

Before the Olympics Canadian diver Pamela Ware was touted to make the next step and win her first individual medal but that wasn’t quite the case. Pamela previously won Olympic medals in synchronized swimming and came in 4th place in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Pamela unfortunately misjudged her approach which caused her to jump feet first, a big no when it comes to diving. The 28 year old told CBC “I think that if I would have done the dive, I could have possibly hurt myself,”. Later on she also posted a video to her Instagram thanking her fans for all the love shown to her. She also said “I have done everything possible to make it to where I am. I hope you guys are going to get used to having me around because I’m not going anywhere, I’m not giving up.” The diver clearly exhibited the right mentality to have after your plan doesn’t work out.

Pamela should be proud of her achievements as even qualifying for the Olympics is commendable feat in and of itself. This experience will only make her stronger and better for the next Olympics. We wish her the best of luck.

Woman who left negative apartment review ordered to pay €200

Aug 3 2021

A young woman was ordered to pay €200 after giving a negative review on a leased apartment she shared with her friends. The fee was ordered due to her review leaving ‘moral damages’ to the apartment’s company, with the judge concluding that the company’s business was negatively impacted because of the review. Evidence during the case showed how the company had kept €87 from a deposit of €120 after it held the woman responsible for the damage found in the apartment by the company.

The woman, Madeleine Bonnici, denied the above claim and warned the company she will give a negative review. Leaving a 2.5 score from 10 for each of the five categories the apartment could be judged upon on booking.com, she added that the apartment had the ‘worst host ever with bad manners.’

The case was filed by the company, stating that through this negative review the apartment was not listed anymore in the front page of this site. The company’s request was denied by the Magistrate Court after concluding that the score given by the woman was not libellous.

The court pointed out how despite the apartment not being on the front page, the apartment was still leased regularly on other electronic portals, being almost always occupied back in 2019. Mr Justice Lawrence Mintoff stated that evidence showed how the woman threatened the company with revenge due to not being refunded the money. He also added how he is not convinced the apartment deserved the worst rating when the only complaint was a geyser leakage.
