Environment activist addresses pre-Love Island Malta cameo

Environment activist addresses pre-Love Island Malta cameo
May 20 2023 Share

Taking to social media, Chief Patrolling Ranger at the Malta Ranger Unit Cami Appelgren addressed her recent cameo before an episode of Love Island. 

Before another episode of villa shenanigans aired, TVM aired a feature of ‘Il-Mara’, which featured Appelgren in her ranger outfit explaining her work, the current environmental context of the islands and what could be done to safeguard it better.

‘Me sitting in the middle of nowhere doing environmental crime monitoring, pitch dark, windy af, and getting spammed with messages showing my face’ wrote Cami. 

Thanking Television Malta for airing the feature just before Love Island Malta, Appelgren wrote how this move might have just reached the unreachables when it comes to environmental matters. 

‘Now EVERYONE knows that if they don’t treat nature well, I’ll be there’, she joked. ‘Behave! And sorry for delaying the drama (as if we don’t have enough in our country lol)’.

No one was eliminated last week, despite there being very close calls for some dancers during the Brillanti Goes Prop round. 

However, this only means that this round will be more difficult and the judges will be more unrelenting in their decisions.

Joining the judging panel alongside Patrick, Attila, Brenda and Joseph this week will be local singer, songwriter and social media influencer in her own right Gaia Cauchi. 

The panel will be treated to the dancer’s videos before they recreate the dance piece live for the judges. What will the dancers come up with to secure their spot in the next round? 

The final semifinal is, after all, just around the corner…

'Apocalyptic' floods hit Northern Italy leaving 14 dead & thousands displaced
May 19 2023 Share

A series of ‘apocalyptic’ floods have devastated a number of cities in Northern Italy, with at least 14 dead and thousands forced to flee their homes after 21 river banks burst in the Emilia-Romagna province.

Entire towns have been submerged, with similar floods and landslides causing chaos in Italy, Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia as climate-related catastrophes remain on the rise in the South of Europe.

Now-viral videos on TikTok, Twitter and other social media platforms show pedestrians see the ground collapse before their very eyes as they join thousands of citizens attempt to secure safe surroundings. The province’s Civil Protection Department has set up a fundraising campaign to support communities affecting by the flooding.

Multiple news outlets, including ‘The Guardian’ have been calling the disaster ‘Italy’s worst flooding for 100 years’.
