Early this morning, at about 5 am, the police were told that someone had been hurt during an argument in Triq Spinola, St Julian’s.

The police went straight to the place where three men were found in an apartment on the same street the incident occurred.

These men said they were attacked by three other men. The attackers used a sharp weapon to try to steal from them. After the attack, the attackers ran away.

One of the men, a 22-year-old from England, was taken by ambulance to Mater Dei Hospital.

Later, doctors said he had serious injuries. The other two men, who are also from England, were not hurt.

The police are still working to find out who was involved in this case. The magistrate, Dr Antoine Agius Bonnici, has started an official inquiry to learn more about what happened.

Reuse Centres Raise €110,000 to Protect Malta’s Environment

Jun 15 2025

Over 30,000 people have visited Malta and Gozo’s Reuse Centres since they opened in 2022. These centres take old but useful items and sell them at low prices, instead of sending them to landfills.

The money made from the sales – around €110,000 is going straight into projects that help the environment. One of these projects is a large bee sanctuary in Wied Fulija, Żurrieq.

This special area helps protect Malta’s native honeybee, which is very important for pollination and nature.

The Tal-Kus Reuse Centre in Gozo was visited by Environment Minister Miriam Dalli and Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri. They saw how the centres are turning old items into something good for the planet. Minister Dalli said the centres show how looking after the environment can bring big rewards. She also said they are a great example of a circular economy, where nothing goes to waste.

Minister Camilleri said the project has worked well in Gozo. Many families have brought in items they no longer need, which are then bought by others. This reduces waste and helps people save money too.

The first centre opened in Ħal Far, and now there are more in Gozo (Xewkija), Ħal Luqa and Imrieħel. People can also drop off items at Civic Amenity Sites across the islands.

WasteServ CEO Richard Bilocca said the public’s support is strong and shows more people are choosing to live in a greener, smarter way.

Hot Pavements Can Burn Your Dog’s Paws

Jun 14 2025

It-Temp Madwarna has reminded us that air temperature is measured 2 metres above the ground, which means the ground itself can be much hotter than we realise.

The temperature in the sun can vary by about 10°–20°C, and it also changes depending on whether the surface is soil, grass, asphalt, or concrete.

Today’s weather, according to It-Temp Madwarna, is sunny and hot, with light and variable winds mostly from the west-southwest (WSW). The sea is calm. The highest temperature today will be 33°C, dropping to 22°C tonight. It will feel like 35°C during the day. The UV index is high at 10.

In a recent Facebook post, they urged everyone to remember this when walking dogs, warning that hot surfaces can seriously burn their paws.
