Sep 19 2022 Share

You can officially start mourning the summer vibe as the local weather changes course to a colder and wetter Autumn seasonal norm in Malta. 

According to multiple weather forecast websites, this week starting 19th of September is set to kick off sunny and relatively warm. This will however give way to colder temperatures and even stormy weather.

According to Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, this occurs as we the collapse of the African anti-cyclone which dominated the majority of the summer. 

Going into Thursday, the probability of having our first seasonal storm increases – albeit having it remain over the seas surrounding the islands. Temperatures are set to feel like 27 degrees Celsius by Thursday. 

Wind force is set to be quite low except for a few strong gusts which may accompany the stormy weather. Temperatures here could even drop to as low as 20°C – the average for this seasonal period.

“I won’t stop dancing”; Vinicius Jr’s head held high in response to racist ‘monkey’ slur

Sep 18 2022 Share

Brazilian Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has issued a response after being dealt a racial slur from Pedro Bravo, the president of Spanish football agents.

Vinicius Jr responded on Twitter with a powerful statement which he himself has tattooed on his body: “As long as the colour of the skin is more important than the brightness of the eyes, there will be war”, going on to say that while ‘happiness bothers’, the happiness of a black Brazilian being successful in Europe bothers much more.

The Real Madrid star said that he will not stop dancing, receiving widespread support from the football community and beyond, with many of Vini Jr’s team-mates, PSG’s Neymar and even Brazilian legend Pelé coming to his defence.

During a live broadcast, Bravo had stated “You have to respect your opponents. When you score a goal, if you want to dance Samba, you should go to sambodromo in Brazil. You have to respect your mates and stop playing the monkey.”

“They are dances to celebrate the cultural diversity of the world. Accept it! Respect it! Or freak out… In any case, I will not stop!” The player stated.

Dance on Vini.

Sep 18 2022 Share

Earlier today, Nationalist Party leader Bernard Grech took to Facebook to post an emotional tribute to his Father, who has just passed away.

The PN leader wrote that he would ask his father how he was and he would always reply positively and never complain or say he was ‘bad’.

“Last week, when he was already feeling that he felt that his life had reached its end, I asked him “how are you feeling Dad”, and he, barely having the strength to speak, said ‘better’.

Grech bid farewell to his father, saying that now he definitely feels better because he is at rest. “Now you can enjoy an eternity of love… Goodbye Dad and thank you.”

RIP.
