Claudette Buttigieg, who represented Malta in the 2000 edition with her song ‘Desire’, was an official guest speaker in Liverpool, discussing Eurovision as a tool of diplomacy. 

Buttigieg, who is now a prominent member of the Nationalist Party in Malta, got the opportunity to represent Malta again in relation to this concert, but this time through a very different lens.

New York based Instagram Eurovision fan page @eurovisonyc shared a story of Buttigieg at the summit, who expressed her gratitude for being involved whilst also reminding fans of who exactly she is. 

And what better way to do so other than by singing a part of her iconic song ‘Desire’. She went on to urge people to watch the contest, having spoken about it as being a potential tool for more connectivity and diplomacy across Europe and the rest of the world.

The Council for Nurses and Midwives of Malta commend the indispensable contribution of nurses across all health services in Malta and Gozo. 

‘Undoubtedly nurses are the foundation of all health Services. Nurses are also the only profession which spend most time with their patients. Nurses are indispensable and no health service can exist without qualified nurses.’

‘The theme chosen for this year’s International Nurses Day “Our Nurses. Our Future” is indeed very befitting. Nurses touch the lives of so many people who need their services, support, compassion and professional care.’

Saluting them for their tireless efforts to provide the best possible care to their patients, the council thanked them for making so much difference in so many lives.

You could soon eat in a Michelin star restaurant in space

YOU MIGHT SOON BE ABLE TO EAT IN A MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT IN SPACE
May 12 2023 Share

Are you a foodie who loves visit Michelin star restaurants? Well, you might soon be able to do dine in one in (almost) outer space, thanks to the new venture by French company Zephalto. 

The space tourism venture was founded by former air traffic controller Vincent Farret D’Asties, who is currently selling pre-reservation tickets for a place on the pressured capsule.

Dubbed Celeste, the capsule is attached to a stratospheric balloon and it is expected to ascend to an altitude of 25 kilometres. This will allow guests to glance at the curvature of the Earth whilst being fed some high class dishes. 

Of course, no such reservation is going to come cheap, as tickets are going for around €10,000, with the full experience racking up to around €120,000. 

CNN Travel was informed by Zephalto that seats on board the first flights for late 2024 and mid-2025 have already been reserved and that they are now opening up reservations for mid-2025 and onwards. 

Six passengers will be able to enjoy this experience at a time, along with two pilots as the capsule rises in just 90 minutes, at a speed of four meters per second. The capsule will then float for around three hours before making the way back down.

Following last week’s movie soundtrack challenge, the dancers will have to show the judging panel, made up of Brenda, Attila and Patrick, that they can perform using their surroundings and what lies within it.

Whether it’s umbrellas, blindfolds or literal combat staffs, the dancers will have to stand out in yet another round. 

With the judges being stricter than ever as to who makes the cut or not, some will have to prove that they have what it takes to stay in the cohort.

But, as always, there will be cuts. Following last week’s elimination, Kim Ellul, the pressure is on for these dancers to show their resilience and leave their mark. 

What prop will the dancers choose? And who will be packing their bags at the end of the programme? Tune in to Brillanti Dance tomorrow at 2030hrs on ONE TV.
