Ukraine: Security forces take back control of Kharkiv
After pro-Russian activists seized three cities in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv), Ukrainian security forces were sent to the cities to control the situation, where it appears that the Ukrainians have taken back the -control of public buildings in Kharkiv. However in Luhansk, the activists managed to obtain weapons and in Donetsk they even declared a People's Republic and called for a referendum on 11 May.
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for US Secretary of State John Kerry called on Russia to publicly disassociate itself from the activities of the separatists. She warned that further actions by Russia intended to destabilize Ukraine will carry consequences. For his part, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia has no intention of invading, but warned Ukraine not to use force against pro-Russian activists.

The Nationalist Government's investment in Cottonera left positive results for the three cities
During an activity at the Club of the Nationalist Party in Isla, the PN candidate for the European Parliament election Francis Zammit Dimech referred to the latest disturbing figures that had just been released by the National Statistics Office (NSO). about the labor market in our country. He encouraged the Government to address its work towards the creation of jobs and the reduction of unemployment because it is only in this way that the economy will grow and the people will live better.
Francis Zammit Dimech also spoke about the Nationalist Government's investment in Cottonera, which is resulting in positive results for these cities. He said that there is no doubt that these projects that were carried out, created work and contributed to the fact that, contrary to what is happening today, our country had one of the lowest unemployment rates in the European Union.
The candidate of the Nationalist Party said that the Cottonera projects have also led to more tourists visiting these areas today and more foreigners buying property that was abandoned in the three cities. The projects, concluded Zammit Dimech, were intended for Cottonera, which is the cradle of our history and culture, to take its share of the wealth that has been generated in our country in recent years. He recalled that when he was Minister responsible for various fields, he contributed to the creation of this wealth.

Improving the competitiveness of countries in economic difficulties can be a challenge for Malta
Improving the competitiveness of countries in economic difficulties can be a challenge for the Maltese economy. This was supported by the Governor of the Central Bank of Malta (BCM) Prof Josef Bonnici when he presented the Annual Report of the BCM for 2013. Josef Bonnici said that it is essential that an increase in wages in Malta is supported by an improvement in productivity, while he emphasized the importance of Malta remaining flexible in the creation of new specialized markets.
Regarding the banking sector, the Governor of the BCM claimed that this contributes significantly to the local economy being able to withstand external shocks and the alignment with the group of stronger economies in the Eurozone. Speaking about international economies, Josef Bonnici said that the economic recovery remained subdued between countries and regions, although it is gradually strengthening in advanced economies.
Prof. Bonnici claimed that the Maltese economy continued to be more efficient than the Euro Zone average, where the growth of the real Gross Domestic Product grew to 2.4% in 2013 from 0.6% a year earlier. The Governor of BCM said that domestic demand has recovered, but the reduction in exports has weakened economic growth. For 2014, the BCM is predicting that the rate of economic expansion will remain sustained due to further recovery in domestic demand and a much smaller negative contribution from exports.

Concrete work in the EP so that the rights and interests of the Maltese are protected in the best way
During the last year I have worked concretely in the European Parliament to ensure that the rights and interests of the Maltese are always protected in the best way. This was the message of the Member of the European Parliament on behalf of the Nationalist Party Roberta Metsola during the launch of her campaign for the election of the European Parliament. She emphasized how important the European Parliament is for citizens because it deals with subjects that directly affect the people.
Metsola described the European Parliament as a shield for the citizens and explained how after gaining the trust of the other MEPs, she was appointed to several Parliamentary Committees where she worked effectively to bring about change in favor of the people. Among others, she mentioned her work so that the issue of Citizenship was discussed at a European level, as well as the issue of the gas tanker that the Labor Government will anchor in Marsaxlokk Bay. In this case, the residents of the lower part of Malta went to her and collected a petition to convey their concerns to the European Parliament.
Roberta Metsola recalled how she was also instrumental in our country obtaining an increase in the Budget allocated to Malta so that it could face the challenge of immigration. Asked what she will focus her work on if the people trust her with their vote, Metsola promised to continue using the European Parliament as a shield to defend the citizen.

Three Libyans admit to wounding other foreigners during a fight
Three Libyans admitted in front of Magistrate Ian Farrugia that they slightly injured and damaged a private property late Monday evening in St. Julian's. The fight took place at around 11.15 pm
Fausia Aluena Alhamed, 32 years old, Shukri Abo Ghani El Massri, 31 years old and Alhssin Omer Hssin Naser, 34 years old, started when they joined another group of foreigners. The argument escalated into a fight where two other men, Bader Elsafrouri and Ahmed Mosbah Hassan suffered minor injuries.
A pair of Oakley sunglasses owned by a certain Peter Tornyos were stolen during the fight. Meanwhile two parked cars, a BMW owned by Dwayne Reid and a Kia owned by Sergio Tanti were also damaged, so much so that the fight escalated.
The Court sentenced Alhamed and El Massri to 18 months in prison suspended for three years while Naser was released on the condition that he does not commit another crime within two years. Moreover, El Massri was ordered to pay the sum of €343 in damages to Sergio Tanti and €150 to Peter Tornyos.
For his part Alhamed was ordered to pay the sum of €592 in damages to Dwayne Reid. The Court also placed the victims Bader Elsafrouri and Ahmed Mosbah Hassan under a protection order on a guarantee of €2,000, with the condition that the culprits do not approach them. Inspector Trevor Micallef led the Prosecution.

Sentence suspended for a Sudanese who escaped from Malta
Sadik Musa, 23 years old from Sudan was sentenced to a suspended sentence after admitting that he fled Malta without the original documents and when he did not have an original passport to do so as he was an illegal immigrant.
Musa was sent back to Malta by the Norwegian authorities after he was caught in this country living illegally because he did not have permission to stay there. Inspector Mario Haber exhibited the documents related to the identity of the Sudanese and the documents found in his possessions.
Considering the fact that the Sudanese admitted at an early stage of the proceedings, Magistrate Ian Farrugia sentenced him to six months in prison suspended for 18 months. Legal aid lawyer Renzo Porsella Flores appeared for Musa.

It would have been better if we had worked for the second interconnector
The new BWSC Power Station in Delimara, which is more efficient and flexible, has already given excellent results not only in reducing the cost of electricity generation, but also in reducing emissions through advanced technology. This plant would go perfectly with the interconnector which was used with all its capacity to produce 200MW of energy at lower prices than the energy generated in Malta.
The electricity from the interconnector can be bought at such a low price of 8c/unit and this will be energy generated elsewhere, ie without any emissions in our country. “The result? Cheaper tariffs but also cleaner air". This is what Melanie Hart claimed in the opinion she wrote in the past few days in The Times of Malta, with the title " Get a second Interconnector ". Hart worked for four years as a Public Relations Officer of the Enemalta Corporation.
In her article, she explained the maximum energy consumption today in Malta in Winter and Summer, as well as what Enemalta is generating with the Delimara Power Station , including with the new plant which a Nationalist Government invested in to meet this demand. She said that by the end of this year, when the interconnector is scheduled to be finished and then Marsa will be closed, this would be more than enough.

With unemployment continuing to rise, Muscat's only solution is jobs with the Government
With unemployment continuing to rise, Prime Minister Muscat's only solution is jobs with the Government. This is the most evident conclusion that emerges from the statistics published by the National Statistics Office on people working with gain.
The statistics show that over a period of one year, the number of people looking for work in our country grew by 541 people, that is an increase of 8%. This while almost 1,400, or 30%, of the new jobs are jobs with the Government. Until November 2013, there were 42,345 people working with the Government, compared to the 40,893 average in 2012, the last full year of the Nationalist Party in Government.
In a statement on behalf of Mario de Marco, the Deputy Leader of the PN for the Work of the Parliament and Spokesman of the Opposition for the Economy, Investment and Small Enterprises, Tonio Fenech, the Spokesman for the Finances, and Stephen Spiteri, the Spokesman for Work and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the PN said that this is clear evidence that the economy of our country is not creating enough activity, as has already been made clear in other economic results such as those linked to import and export, industrial production and store sales. In the end, all this means less money in the pocket for Maltese and Gozitan families, which thus creates a vicious circle because it leads to a reduction in the commercial activity of our country.

Ordered to do 100 hours of community work after admitting 10 charges
23-year-old Tonio Grixti from Valletta, in addition to being given a probation order, was ordered to do 100 hours of unpaid community work after admitting the 10 charges brought against him, which included lightly injuring another person, who caused damage to Police property and became a repeat offender.
Grixti admitted that he slightly injured Robert Norman Cauchi, broke the door of his cell, threatened Police officers, was drunk in public, violated the public peace, gave misleading information to the Police and became a repeat offender.
The incident happened in the early hours of last Saturday outside an establishment in Paceville. Grixti apologized to the Police for his actions and gave his word that he would not repeat similar incidents.
The Court took into account the fact that in the past Grixti had already been fined and placed under probation for a period of six months on charges of offending public morals and using obscene words.
"Apparently you didn't take the lesson more than once. The worst thing is that you ended up drunk, you injured another person, you disobeyed the legitimate orders of the Police and you vented your anger on private property," the Magistrate told Grixti.
Magistrate Aaron Bugeja warned Grixti for his actions. He was told that if he thought the arrest was not justified, he should have acted in a different way and did not like the officers.
He was placed on three years' probation along with community service. The Prosecution was led by Inspector Trevor Micallef.
