US Sailor Team Helps Make Local Dog Shelter Kennels Safer

Jun 27 2025

A team of sailors from the United States helped local animal shelter Association for Abandoned Animals to make the outside dog kennels safer.

The AAA reported that the dogs were digging into the garden soil and it was becoming quite dangerous as some of them were nearly able to pass from their room to the next.

The team from the US ‘did the back-breaking work of making a trench under the metal separators and filling them up with concrete.’

The AAA thanked the USA Embassy for the work and the tools. ‘Our dogs are now safer.’

Alex Agius Saliba Report Protecting Travellers Approved By EP

Jun 27 2025

With 35 votes in favour and only one against, the European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved a report by MEP Alex Agius Saliba aimed at providing stronger protections for consumers, particularly those travelling between countries.

The legislation, drafted and negotiated by Agius Saliba, addresses difficulties many consumers experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted that “this law will give consumers stronger and new rights when they travel. We all remember the confusion during the pandemic, when people were unsure of their rights after booking holidays, especially those who had paid deposits or the full amount. Consumers were often left waiting months for answers. After the collapse of the Thomas Cook agency, we also saw thousands of people lose their deposits without hope of recovery.”

The law introduces five major changes:

Travel agents will be required to have insurance in place to protect consumer deposits in case of bankruptcy.

Consumers will have the option of receiving a refund or a voucher if a trip is cancelled.

Vouchers issued due to cancellation will be transferable and valid for one year.

Holiday-related complaints must be addressed within 14 days.

The maximum deposit a consumer can be asked to pay will be regulated by each member state, such as Malta, rather than by the EU.

Agius Saliba stated that he will continue working with the European Council and Commission to ensure these rights are implemented without delay.

Malta’s most exciting youth music competition is returning, as The Voice Kids Malta launches its second season, promising to be even more dynamic and competitive. This year brings a major development: the winner will represent Malta at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will take place in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The Voice Kids is part of the globally recognised The Voice franchise and is tailored for young singers aged 9 to 14. The competition follows the well-known format, starting with the Blind Auditions. Here, Coaches listen to performers without seeing them and press their buttons to turn their chairs if they wish to mentor that singer. If more than one Coach turns, the contestant selects whose team to join.

The next stage, the Battle Rounds, sees team members performing against each other, with their Coach choosing who advances. From there, each Coach selects top performers for the Final Night.

Finalists will also participate in a songwriting camp, working with professionals to create original songs. These will be performed during the Grand Final, where one winner will be chosen to represent Malta at Junior Eurovision.

Keith Chetcuti, CEO of PBS, highlighted the international opportunity this creates for young artists. Anton Attard from greatt company limited emphasised their ongoing commitment to nurturing emerging talent.
