Roma dropped their first points in Serie A under Jose Mourinho on Sunday as Verona came from behind to earn new coach Igor Tudor a 3-2 victory on his debut.

The Chamber of Architects (Kamra tal-Periti) has lambasted the Planning Authority (PA) over a contentious platform for catering in the middle of Valletta’s Merchant Street, pointing to the “failure of the planning system” when projects are carried out at the expense of public interest.

Greaves also found the net 44 times for England and while a gashed leg stopped... Читать дальше...

The Italian, who celebrated his debut win in the premier category last weekend in Aragon, came under intense pressure from championship leader Fabio Quartararo in the closing laps.

Regardless... Читать дальше...

A prospective PN government would prioritise the health of the nation and make political decisions based on that, rather than pay millions a year for hospitals that do not serve the public, Bernard Grech said on Sunday.

When pressed to disclose figures behind election promises to buy back Ħondoq ir-Rummien and to fund cancer treatment, Grech said the PN "does not put a price on health". Читать дальше...

This was evidenced at the time of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when people with intellectual disability found themselves in a vulnerable position because they possessed no education about protection from this disease. The incentive to counteract this epidemic saw the onset of sex education work among people with intellectual disability, including HIV prevention work in places such as the UK, Australia, Canada and the US.
