In June of last year, Spears told a judge that her conservatorship prevented her from marrying or even removing her birth control. She had also said that she wanted a family with Asghari, her 28-year-old personal trainer. 

The form of legal guardianship which was set up by her father in 2008 after she experienced a public mental health crisis meant that she could not make her own decisions about medical care. 

Spears revealed that the legal arrangement included control over her reproductive health. Speaking after the revelation of her pregnancy, Spears said she won’t be going out much to avoid paparazzi.

Apr 12 2022 Share

Following the news that NGO BirdLife all be seeking court action against the opening of the spring hunting season of the turtle dove, the FKNK has responded with its own statement. 

The FKNK assured hunters that they are going to do everything they can that the hunting season reopens for turtle doves next Sunday as it is scheduled. 

Following BirdLife Malta’s filing of a warrant of prohibition in court to stop the turtle dove hunting season, ‘the FKNK wants to inform hunters who are already in possession of the required license to hunt turtle doves from this Sunday that it is examine all possible avenues, including legal, to counter-act said mandate.’

BirdLife filed a warrant of prohibitory injection in court, through which the NGO is requesting a judicial assessment over the manner in which this year’s hunting season is being permitted. This comes just after the Malta ORNIS Committee voted to lift the ban on spring hunting for turtle doves. 

The respondents to the case according to the mandate are Prime Minister Robert Abela, Gozo Minister Clint Clint Camilleri and Environment Minister Miriam Dalli.

The world needs to ‘stop stigmatising weed’, says Seth Rogen

The world needs to 'stop stigmatising weed', says Seth Rogen
Apr 12 2022 Share

Actor, comedian and avid weed-smoker Seth Rogen has stated that the world should stop all of the stigma surrounding cannabis and its smoking.

The 39-year-old told The Guardian that there are a lot of negative and conservative attitudes related to weed-smoking and such a perception needs to be challenged. He made a comparison of attitudes between cannabis and alcohol, asking “why should it be any worse to go to a cannabis site than it is to walk into a restaurant that serves alcohol?”

The media personality is well-known for being a massive advocate and lover of cannabis, appearing in a number of stoner comedies which include The Pineapple Express, Superbad, This Is The EndSausage Party and more.

He is also the owner of cannabis-related lifestyle brand Houseplant, which offers products such as lighters, ashtrays, carry cases and much more, hoping that the creation of the brand contributes to breaking the stigma surrounding weed. He has also worked alongside projects such as the Marijuana Policy Project, Cage-Free Cannabis and Black Lives Matter, reportedly unfazed by getting ‘too political’ with his brand.

Do you agree with the actor?

Pregnant mothers positive for COVID-19 will no longer give birth on their own, even if their partner is in quarantine. 

Health Minister Chris Fearne announced on Monday that expectant mothers who test positive for the virus will be allowed on other person in the ward during childbirth. 

If their partner is in mandatory quarantine but has no COVID symptoms, they can remain in the same room with the mother throughout the while process. Such cases will however need permission beforehand, which can be acquired by emailing [email protected].

Expectant mothers have been trying to get health authorities to remove the remaining COVID restrictions for some time now as they stopped fathers from attending the childbirth. 

During the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, partners could only be present during the pushing stage of delivery. This was eased to allow fathers to be present for the birth. Fearne was speaking during a visit to St Vincent de Paul as residents received their second COVID booster.
