The episodes show some moments of pure emotion, with Karl visibly angry about a situation and Erika exclaiming having learned her lesson due to ‘fake smiles’.

Alex Satariano Hit By Cups Thrown During Goalless Match
Feb 4 2025 Share

A tense showdown between Ħamrun Spartans and Birkirkara ended in a goalless draw at the Tony Bezzina Stadium, but the biggest talking point came off the pitch when supporters threw cups at Birkirkara’s Alex Satariano, striking him during a heated moment.

Both teams were desperate for a win—Ħamrun aiming to reclaim the top spot and Birkirkara eager to climb the table.

The match started with intensity, with both sides creating chances. Birkirkara came close in the third minute, as Alex Alves’ inswinging corner clipped the bar. Ħamrun responded through Kairou Amoustapha, whose shot from a tight angle struck the upright.

The tension escalated towards halftime. Police had to intervene in the VIP section, and frustration boiled over among the fans.

In the second half, chances became scarce, with both sides struggling to break the deadlock.

However, the match descended into controversy when fans began hurling cups at Satariano, striking him amid growing hostility.

On the pitch, Paul Mbong nearly snatched a late winner for Birkirkara, but his low strike was superbly saved by Henry Bonello.

The draw leaves Ħamrun in second place, one point behind Marsaxlokk, while Birkirkara move up to six points.

Government Signals Possible Intervention in BCRS

Government Signals Possible Intervention in BCRS
Feb 3 2025 Share

In today’s parliamentary session, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Cleanliness, Glenn Bedingfield, indicated potential government intervention in Malta’s Beverage Container Refund Scheme (BCRS).

This follows Prime Minister Robert Abela’s expression of dissatisfaction with the scheme’s current operations, emphasising that operators should enhance their services before considering cost increases for importers.

The BCRS, launched on 14 November 2022, aims to promote recycling by adding a €0.10 deposit to the price of single-use beverage containers. Consumers can reclaim this deposit by returning empty containers to designated reverse vending machines or public recycling hubs. The scheme’s goal is to collect and recycle up to 90% of such containers by 2026, significantly contributing to Malta’s environmental targets.

Despite collecting over 204 million beverage containers in its inaugural year, the BCRS has faced criticism regarding its implementation and service quality. The government’s recent statements suggest that if these issues persist, it may consider direct intervention to ensure the scheme’s objectives are met effectively.

As discussions continue, stakeholders and the public await further developments on how the BCRS will evolve to better serve Malta’s environmental and economic interests.
