Readers’ input required

I’m told by at least one reader that throughout its live coverage of the riots in Ukraine, Russia Today mentioned Malta repeatedly as a supporter of the Ukrainian government led by Viktor Yanukovych, who was turfed out a week ago and is now a fugitive sheltered by Russia.
Do I have any other readers among Russia Today’s regular audience who might be able to give further input on this?
The reader who told me about this remarked of the Maltese (Labour) government: “It is as though they trawl through the world map to look for dictators and autocrats they can support.”

Today I went to get a new ID card from the office at the Evans building. The security man there told me that I had to go the Gattard House as the Evans office is now only for foreigners (barranin).
What would the reason for that be? Processing the “bought” ID cards without any prying eyes around?
“Russia Today mentioned Malta repeatedly as a supporter of the Ukrainian government led by Viktor Yanukovych”.
Malta’s name keeps coming up in the foreign press, unfortunately for the wrong reasons.
Joseph should be proud of himself.
I will diligently watch Russia Today tonight instead of the more interesting news. I will let you know.

Taht il-Labour il-vera tisthi tghid li int Malti.
I usually watch Russia Today for their daily 18:00 news broadcast, just to get another slant.
Saw a taped version of the Maltese comment. Think it was Feb. 14. Surprised then, but now, par for the course.
They trawl through the world map to offer third-party insurance, back office services, financial security and perhaps arms trafficking.
They’re an organised outfit serving all states with an issue with democracy and social progress.
It has to be seen why Matteo Renzi refused to meet Muscat. The Italian prime minister has made of Jus Soli, citizenship for children born to immigrants on Italian soil, his rallying cry.
He’s also on top of any story happening around him. Muscat’s the one who attempted push-backs and other extreme-right policies. The first to go with Labour is any confidence in bilateral relations with Italy and other neighbouring countries.
Azerbaijan’s Aliyev and Ukraine’s Yanukovych, one corrupt, the other Putin’s puppet, both belong to Berlusconi and his stale anti-Europeanism.
Simply because Muscat gets to meet Renzi this afternoon at the socialists’ summit in Rome doesn’t cut it.
Do I understand that Renzi snubbed Muscat and refused his request to meet him outside the Socialists summit?
