In the period between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon, a total of about 400 mainly African migrants were rescued from three boats off southern Italy, most of them off the island of Lampedusa.
Migrants aboard one boat said two people, including a child of seven, had died on board in the scorching heat.

How’s your conscience, Mr Prime Minister? And you Dr Manwel Mallia? Did you explain to your children how a seven-year-old child died?
On a different subject. Seems that our Commissioner of Justice was very busy trying to implement something new. But, alas, his fellow colleagues have different views:

[Daphne – I think you are confusing Franco Debono with Giovanni Bonello.]
Has Franco Debono got anything to do with this?

[Daphne – No. That’s the Justice Reform Commmission.]
With all this talk of illegal immigration, I wonder whatever happened to Tourab Ahmed Sheik – the Pakistani-Maltese human trafficker behind the sinking of F174, leading to the death of 300 asylum-seekers at sea. He’d been convicted in absentia in an Italian court, but last I heard he was still living in Malta. Anyone know if this guy is still free?
