Earlier today, Civil Protection Malta took to Facebook to share some heartwarming news after a number of their officials headed to Pembroke to save a dog in distress.

The post revealed that Civil Protection Malta officers from the Pembroke Fire Station were called on site to assist a dog that had fallen into an abandoned well in the area.

The dog was brought up to safety unharmed and, by the looks of the pictures posted by Civil Protection Malta, over the moon to see the people that saved him.

Well done Civil Protection Malta.

Elvis

Ever since we got the first look of the charismatic Austin Butler portraying one of the greatest musicians of all-time in Elvis Presley, we couldn’t wait to see what the Elvis film will look like and it’s finally here. With the trailer alone sending chills down our spines, complemented by a stunning 12-minute standing ovation at Cannes and an unparalleled soundtrack with some of the industry’s biggest names, Elvis looks like it could be one of this year’s biggest biopics.

Lightyear

Everyone’s favourite space ranger extraordinaire returns to the big screen in ways we have never seen him before. After winning our hearts as the action figure, 2022’s Lightyear will explore the story of the original Buzz Lightyear as he travels the depths of space. Join Chris Evans’ Buzz, James Brolin’s ultra-villainous Zurg, Keke Palmer’s Izzy Hawthorne and an intergalactic cast of beloved characters in their journey to infinity and beyond.

Top Gun: Maverick

From a bold, box office smash in 1984 to a global phenomenon in 2022, it seems like Top Gun: Maverick carries more prestige than any other Top Gun movie in history. Tom Cruise’s Captain Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell returns to the skies for a high-octane, action packed flick which will breathe new life into the Top Gun franchise. If you’re a lover of the original, adore action movies or simply stan the legend that it is Tom Cruise, head to the Embassy Cinemas to watch this one ASAP.

41% of Malta’s youths intentionally bought fake brands over the past year

41% of Maltese youths intentionally bought fake brands over the past year

Information published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has revealed that in Malta, 41% of young people intentionally bought fake brands over the past year.

The 2022 edition of the Intellectual Property and Youth Scoreboard highlighted that the two main factors behind this increase in intentional purchasing of counterfeits were price and availability, also shining a light on the fact that peer and social influence have an increasingly important role.

The most common intentionally-bought products were clothes and accessories (17%), followed by footwear (14%), electronic devices (13%) and hygiene, cosmetics, personal care and perfumes (12%).

However, it is also to be noted that young people are also misled into buying fakes, with the unintentional purchasing of fake products and brands standing at 37% due to difficulties in distinguishing genuine products from counterfeits.

Have you ever bought a counterfeit product?
