England ease past neighbours Wales to qualify for knockout stage

Nov 29 2022 Share

England have beaten neighbours Wales with a dominating performance and a score line to match it with the game ending 3-0, to qualify for the knockout stage of the World Cup.

The first half did not include many scoring opportunities as Wales’s defence managed to shut out most of the dangerous chances created by the English players.

Manchester United starlet Marcus Rashford managed to score the opener from a lovely taken free kick in the 50th minute. Once the first goal was scored it seemed like the floodgates were open for the English players as only a minute after their free kick goal, Phil Foden scored to double their lead and break every Welsh fan’s hearts.

It was clearly Marcus Rashford’s night as in the 67th minute he managed to score his second of the game to properly close the tie and shit down any chances of a miracle comeback by Wales.

England will now be preparing for their crucial Round of 16 match versus Senegal whilst Wales will be heading home with their heads held high being their first World Cup appearance since 1958.

Former President joins 44 organisations calling for redraft of abortion bill

Nov 29 2022 Share

Former President, Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, together with 44 organisations are appealing to the government to redraft the amendment proposed yesterday in Parliament.

In an official written statement, the organisations voiced their concerns about the possibility of abortion being legalised in Malta.

The bill being proposed in Parliament does not legalise abortion but amends the Criminal Code to clarify the legal position of the attending physician and the mother in circumstances where the pregnancy leads to the mother suffering from a medical complication that could put her life at risk or health in grave danger.

Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, her husband Edgar Preca, and 44 other organisations are endorsing a group of 80 experts who have provided the government with an alternative.

This focuses solely on termination of pregnancy if the life of the mother is at risk and not for any other health reason.
