Over the past year, Westwood has had several notable experiences on his impressive journey. He raced against Ella and Daniel Häkkinen, the children of former Formula One driver Mika Häkkinen, at the ROK Championship. Additionally, he competed at the Franciacorta track alongside Thomas Bearman, the younger brother of current Formula One driver Oliver Bearman.

These experiences highlight the promising start to Westwood’s karting career. His talent was evident earlier this year when he claimed victory at the ROK Winter Trophy in Italy. This win, along with his other recent achievements, bodes well for the young Maltese driver in the competitive realm of go-kart racing.

Valletta will soon have a dedicated team of stewards patrolling day and night to maintain order and prevent illegal activities. Announced by Culture Minister Owen Bonnici and Tourism Minister Clayton Bartolo, these stewards will be primarily focusing on surveillance, reporting issues such as littering and loud music to support police efforts.

This initiative is a key part of the Valletta Management Plan, designed to protect the city’s UNESCO World Heritage status. The plan will undergo an eight-week public consultation starting in December, fulfilling UNESCO’s heritage site requirements.

The move follows the controversial law of allowing outdoor music until 1am, in which residents are opposed to, citing noise disturbances and rights violations. In response, the Tourism Ministry’s Anthony Gatt has organised a steering committee. Representatives from both national and local organisations are present, including as the Grand Harbour Regeneration Cooperation, the Valletta Local Council, and the Valletta Cultural Agency. The committee, which Jason Micallef is a member of, will specify the duties and obligations of the stewards.

Minister Clayton Bartolo highlighted Valletta’s significance as a top tourist destination, drawing comparison between its strength and Malta’s. He announced two teams for the capital’s upkeep: one for cleaning and another for patrols. Additionally, the plan involves investments in improved signage and efforts to enhance the quality of life for residents and tourists.

Jul 21 2024 Share

UFC legend Conor McGregor has called out the Problem Child Jake Paul, after winning his fight against Bare Kunkle Champion Mike Perry by TKO in the 6th round.

McGregor and Paul have had disagreements and public spats for quite a few years now, but last night’s Twitter outburst from McGregor seems to have taken their rivalry to a whole new level.

McGregor accused Paul of avoiding fights in combat sports Mecca, Las Vegas, due to their real and trustworthy drug testing, implying that Paul takes performance enhancing drugs.

The ‘Notorius’ also blamed Perry’s loss, on the massive weight difference between him and Jake Paul and also criticized his decision to call out Mike Tyson, “a 60 year-old fresh off an in flight medical emergency.”

In the post fight conference, Paul had this to say about Conor’s Twitter callout, “So, Conor’s on Twitter all the time. He’s on his yacht all the time. Guess where he’s not? In the ring, fighting me.

“So, he can talk all the f**k he wants, but The Notorious MMA is scared of Jake Joseph Paul from Disney channel. And I put that on my mama.”
