In 2021, with the support of the Ministry for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government, the festival made its big comeback with the title many are familiar with today – Mużika Mużika.

This year’s competition will see some of Malta’s most talented artists – from familiar X-Factor competitors like Justine Shorfid, Drakard & Lisa Gauci, Jasmine and many, many other familiar faces having their go at the winning title. Last year’s winner was Kurt Calleja with his song Bla Tarf.

At least 9 flights delayed due to intense fog all over Malta

Feb 23 2023

Due to the immense fog which befell Malta this morning, insider sources have informed this newsroom that all the delayed flights impacted will be departing soon.

Insider sources have informed MaltaDaily that there were delays of up to 2.5 to 3 hours as the officials and crew awaited clearer visibility for travel.

The situation has reportedly somewhat improved from this morning, with around 9 flights having been delayed according to the Arrivals and Departures information of the Malta International Airport.

Passenger caution is a primary concern on such days with such weather phenomena. The same caution is being advised for all those travelling out on the roads as the lack of visibility make the streets more accident prone.

Intense fog falls on most of Malta

Feb 23 2023

Videos and images sent to this newsroom show the immense thick fog which befell the Maltese islands and covering most localities, in this case Żebbuġ.

Despite being a sight to see (no pun intended), it is still highly advised for especially road commuters driving this morning to be very careful due to the reduced visibility.

Weather forecasts earlier this week suggested that temperatures were set to be slightly hotter with thick fogs descending during the night. It seems as though they will linger on for a few more hours into the morning as we head to our day to day activities.

“Let’s vote yes for peace”, Minister Ian Borg shows support to Ukraine in UN speech

Feb 22 2023

Malta Daily reporting LIVE from the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

On Tuesday, Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade Ian Borg addressed an Emergency Special Session at the United Nations, expressing Malta’s support towards Ukraine one year since the start of Russia’s war of aggression.

During his speech, Borg reiterated the international community’s horror by the daily reports of attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, violence, including sexual and gender-based violence, against women and children; and the use of torture.

Highlighting how 40 per cent of Ukraine’s population is in dire need of assistance, 8 million have left the country and 5.3 million are internally displaced or unable to leave illegally annexed regions, Borg held that “Russia’s aggression must be condemned and denounced without reservation.”

“Malta will continue to support all efforts by Ukraine and the international community to this end,” Borg stated.

During the historic meeting to commemorate one year since Russia’s first attacks on Ukraine, United States ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield highlighted how such a vote will go down in history. Thomas-Greenfield stated “we have before us a resolution that calls upon the nations of the world to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine.”

In its term as UN security council president, Malta will be following three important principles as per Minister Ian Borg: “Security, sustainability and solidarity”.

As of February 1, Malta began to hold the presidency of the UN security council, a body which holds the primary responsibility of maintaining international peace and security.
