Birkirkara have managed to keep up the streak throughout 69 league games, matching a domestic record by Hibernians. If the former win the 2022/2023 season opener, the Stripes will managed to beat the streak.

Will Ukraine host Eurovision 2023 due to ongoing Russian invasion?

May 15 2022

Ukraine’s Klaus Orchestra skyrocketed to the top of the Eurovision’s leader board following votes from the public as Eurovision Song Contest fans cheered on the representatives of the war torn country.

However, questions have arisen about whether Ukraine will be able to host the event next year. Traditionally, the winning nation hosts the event the following year.

And, despite fans being excited to see Ukraine being crowned winners following their performance of ‘Stefania’, the Russian invasion might make the hosting outright impossible.

Ukraine has been locked in warfare since February of this year after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin ordered a ‘special operation’ to invade the country. Since then, Ukraine has made headlines due to the war, making their Eurovision win a breath of fresh air.

But the war is far from over, despite winning band Kalush Orchestra stating that their country would be ready to welcome music fans from all over the world to host the prestigious competition.

‘If we win, the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 will take place in Ukraine. It will be a new, integrated, well-developed and flourishing Ukraine’ the winners had said before their success. Unfortunately, some forecasters are predicting that the fighting could rage on for five to ten more years.

Martin Österdahl, the EBU’s Executive Supervisor of the ESC, has also discussed the possibility of Ukraine hosting the 2023 event: ‘Now we will begin planning for 2023 with winning broadcaster UA:PBC. […] Obviously, there are unique challenges involved in hosting next year’s competition.’

Meanwhile, EP President Roberta Metsola congratulated the Ukrainians for winning the competition, saying: ‘next year in Kyiv – in a free Ukraine. I will be there. Slava Ukraini!’ Whether the country will be able to host Eurovision, the win did lift up spirits, briefly shifting focus from the shelling and death to a feat of unity, art and victory.

Congratulations #KalushOrchestra and #Ukraine! 🇺🇦🏆 #Eurovision #ESC2022

Next year in #Kyiv – in a free Ukraine. I will be there.

Slava Ukraini!

WATCH: Man seen breaking & entering into Paceville Gentlemen’s Club

May 14 2022

A video has emerged on TikTok showing a man throwing what is thought to be a glass bottle towards the entrance of ‘White Palace’, a gentlemen’s club situated in the Paceville Piazza. The incident is thought to have taken place in the early hours of Saturday 14^th May.

The man is first seen throwing the bottle towards the glass entry doors and soon after, he decides to have another throw at the door – which leads to the glass breaking down. As soon as the door breaks down the man is seen entering the establishment.

Paceville has repeatedly been registered as one of the areas with the highest nationwide crime rates together with other touristic areas like Saint Paul’s Bay, Sliema and Valletta.

Back in 2021 the Police Officers Union had suggested that Paceville should have its own specialised team of officers to patrol the busy area, highlighting that such a unit should be specially trained and familiarised with legislation concerning the area.
