"title": "What we know about Russia's Oreshnik missile fired on Ukraine",
"body": "The intermediate-range projectile struck an undisclosed location in Bila Tserkva, a town in greater Kyiv\n\nRussia has used its nuclear-capable ballistic missile -- dubbed Oreshnik -- three times in the war against Ukraine. According to the Kremlin, it is a \"state-of-the-art\" weapon that cannot be intercepted.\n\nOn Sunday, the intermediate-range projectile struck an undisclosed location in Bila Tserkva, a town in greater Kyiv, the Ukrainian army said.\n\nIn early January, the hypersonic missile hit a major gas depot in the Lviv region in western Ukraine, local officials said.\n\nNamed after the Russian word for hazel tree, it was first fired at a plant in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in 2024, Moscow said. The rocket did not carry a nuclear payload in any of the three strikes.\n\nHere is what we know about the weapon:\n\nRussia said Oreshnik is an intermediate-range missile, meaning it can reach targets between 3,000 and 5,500 kilometres (1,860-3,400 miles) away.\n\nSergei Karakayev, the commander of Russia's Strategic Rocket Forces -- which controls its nuclear arsenal and intercontinental ballistic missile programme -- has said that Oreshnik can hit targets \"throughout Europe\".\n\nBelarus President Alexander Lukashenko, a key ally of Russia's leader Vladimir Putin, said that Oreshnik had been deployed in his country, which borders NATO's eastern flank.\n\nMoscow promptly announced that the missile system had \"entered combat duty\".\n\nUkraine says the missile was fired from the Kapustin Yar range, near the southern Russian city of Volgograd.\n\nOreshnik has \"dozens of warheads, homing warheads\", Putin said in 2024.\n\nThe missile itself, he added, does not cause mass destruction because \"there is no nuclear warhead, and that means there is no nuclear contamination after its use\".\n\nMilitary experts say Oreshnik could be equipped to carry nuclear warheads.\n\nPutin said the missile's destructive elements can reach a temperature close to the surface of the Sun.\n\n\"Therefore, everything in the epicentre of the explosion breaks up into fractions, into elementary particles, essentially into dust,\" he said in 2024.\n\nHe added that the missile can strike \"even targets that are highly protected and located at a great depth\".\n\nAt the site of the first Oreshnik strike on Dnipro in 2024, AFP saw limited damage -- a building roof blown off and scorched trees. Ukrainian officials also reported only limited destruction, suggesting it had been equipped with dummy warheads.\n\nResidents reported a \"hellish noise\" and bright bursts of light during the strike.\n\nPutin has claimed it is \"impossible\" for modern air defences to intercept the Oreshnik, which attacks at a speed of Mach 10, or 2.5-3 kilometres per second.\n\nExperts say the missile can travel at hypersonic speeds, but cannot be manoeuvred in the same way as typical hypersonic missiles can.\n\n\"As with other intermediate and intercontinental ballistic missiles, its warheads enter the atmosphere and reach their targets at hypersonic speeds,\" Marcin Andrzej Piotrowski, analyst at the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM), said in 2024.\n\n\"But unlike the hypersonic weapons, Oreshnik's warheads did not perform any manoeuvres at hypersonic speeds, which would complicate the operation of anti-missile defences,\" he added after the first attack.\n\nPutin said in 2024 that Oreshnik was \"not a modernisation of an old, Soviet system\" but a \"modern, state-of-the-art\" device.\n\nThe US defence department described Oreshnik as an \"experimental\" missile based on Russia's RS-26 Rubezh ICBM.\n\nKarakayev said the missile, a \"ground-based medium-range system\", had been constructed based on an order from Putin issued in July 2023.",

"title": "WATCH | PN leader Alex Borg tells supporters to be the 'authors of the country's destiny'",
"body": "Nationalist Party leader Alex Borg has told thousands of supporters gathered in Sliema that the power of the country's future lies in the hands of the Maltese and Gozitan people.\n\n\"This is your moment to vote for change again,\" Borg told the crowd at the mass meeting, held under the theme 'New Breath'.\n\nBorg opened by saluting three figures he described as important to the district, Robert Arrigo, Francis Zammit Dimech, and Karl Gouder, as well as the father of Maltese independence, Ġorġ Borg Olivier.\n\nHe said the election was not about the two parties, not about red and blue, but about the Maltese and Gozitan people, parents, young people, and families worn down by pressure, traffic, stress, and the cost of living.\n\nBorg reflected on the nine months since he was elected party leader, describing a journey built on trust, hard work, and a simple belief that Malta deserves better. He said the PN had been among the people throughout, not only during the campaign, and had listened to their concerns and shaped concrete, workable proposals in response.\n\nHe added that from the very first day he took on the role, the work had not stopped.\n\nHe said the Labour Party had called the election a year ahead of time, and that to this day no clear reason had been given for doing so.\n\nHe said Robert Abela had thought he would catch the PN off guard, but instead found a party that was prepared, determined, full of energy, and full of proposals with a vision for Malta and Gozo.\n\nHe said public services had to be efficient and infrastructure had to keep pace with the country's needs.\n\nHe appealed to those who had lost faith in politics to come forward, saying change did not begin in Parliament but in the hearts of citizens full of courage and determination. He also repeated his apology for the shortcomings the PN had made during its 25 years in government. \"We did a lot of good, but we were not perfect. We hurt people too, and I apologise on behalf of my colleagues,\" he said.\n\nBorg outlined several of the party's key pledges. He committed to a minimum saving of €1,200 per year for Maltese and Gozitan families through personal income tax reductions, and said the cost-of-living adjustment would no longer be taxed under a PN government, so that what was owed to workers would be paid in full.\n\nHe also committed to abolishing inheritance tax entirely, describing it as a matter of social justice. \"When you buy a property, you pay tax; when you sell, you pay tax. This is justice for the Maltese and Gozitan people,\" he said. He added that the same would apply to donations, so that parents and grandparents wishing to pass on property to their children would no longer be held back by the cost.\n\nOn energy, Borg said electricity bills would fall by an average of 30% from January under a PN government, covering families, those living alone, and farmers. He announced plans for a network of four hospitals across Malta and Gozo, including a new hospital in northern Malta, a new hospital in Gozo, further investment in Mater Dei, and investment to replace St Luke's.\n\nHe said that within the first 100 days of a PN government, he would call on the healthcare workers' union, MUMN, to negotiate a new financial package for doctors, nurses, midwives, and all hospital staff.\n\nBorg addressed younger supporters directly, telling them he felt a greater responsibility towards them as the future generation. He said young people deserved to study, work, buy their first home, and build a family in their own country. He committed to a 25% increase in stipends from the coming scholastic year, saying the increase would begin from October without waiting for a budget.\n\nOn transport, Borg said traffic was costing the country around €170 million per year and that Malta had one of the highest rates of respiratory-related deaths in Europe. He said the PN's mass transport project had full technical detail, clear timelines, and confirmed financing, with shadow finance minister Adrian Delia having signed off on the budget.\n\nHe said the first major mass transport line would be completed within the first five years of a PN government, contrasting this with Labour's pledge of five more years of studies.\n\nOn population, Borg said Labour had grown the country's population without a plan to manage pressure on roads, hospitals, schools, and national security. He said a PN government would create a dedicated authority to manage population sustainably and protect the identity of Malta and Gozo.\n\nOn pensions, Borg committed to raising them by at least €650 per year and to introducing a free GP service at the homes of elderly patients. He said cancer medication would be fully free under a PN government, recalling that when the proposal was first announced, Labour attacked it as impossible before eventually endorsing it days later.\n\nBorg also committed to creating more open spaces across Malta's towns and villages, saying they would not be covered in gravel but would be filled with grass and trees, where families could spend time together.\n\n\"I alone will not make it. We alone will not make it. But with you, we will certainly get there,\" Borg said, closing his address. \"The hour of the Maltese has arrived. Malta and Gozo are calling you. This is the moment to give Malta and Gozo a new breath.\"",

"title": "Borg says PN government will 'solve problems others created'",
"body": "Opposition Leader says studies on the party's proposed metro system are 'ready'\n\nA Nationalist government would solve the problems that \"others have created\", Alex Borg told an enthusiastic crowd of party supporters at a gathering in Sliema on Sunday.\n\n\"Change cannot only be a political slogan but a personal responsibility. Our forefathers understood this, and now it is our turn -- not out of political loyalty, but as a nation,\" the Opposition leader said.\n\nSpeaking at one of the party's last mass meetings, six days before voters go to the polls, Borg reiterated his party's headline electoral pledges, including building a network of new hospitals and making all cancer medication free of charge.\n\nHe also discussed the party's plan to reduce income tax, remove inheritance tax, increase student stipends by 25 per cent from September and build a new school every year throughout the legislature.\n\nNationalist Party supporters filled Dingli Street, most wearing blue and many flying PN and European Union flags.\n\nThe PN have often held mass meetings in Sliema, a town considered to be the party's top stronghold.\n\nMany of the street's residents participated in the festivities, hoisting banners from balconies and following the meeting from the high-rise apartments overlooking the street from both sides.\n\nPN deputy leader Alex Perici Calascione, one of two opening speakers before Borg, indirectly mentioned multiple surveys indicating a 30,000 vote gap in favour of the PL in the upcoming general election.\n\nPointing to the sizeable crowd, the deputy leader said: \"Here is the survey you need right in front of us\".\n\nPsychiatrist David Vella Fondacaro also spoke at the meeting.\n\nDuring his address, Borg mentioned some of the party's late well-known figures from the area, including Robert Arrigo, Francis Zammit Dimech and Karl Gouder.\n\nOne of the party's main proposals is the construction of an underground mass transport system, which Borg says a PN government can build within five years.\n\nHe said that pre-emptive studies for the proposed metro system were \"ready\", and that a Nationalist government would begin work on the project immediately.\n\nThe Opposition leader emphasised that traffic was estimated to cost the Maltese economy €770 million a year, in addition to many deaths due to respiratory disease caused by air pollution.\n\nBorg said the PL government's track record on such a transport system was a metro plan that never took off and was shelved.\n\nHe said the PL's new plan was no better, and that even Finance Minister Clyde Caruana was reluctant to sign off on the project.\n\n\"Unlike them, Adrian Delia said that as finance minister, he would have no problem giving his go-ahead for the project\", said Borg.\n\nBorg said the PN would handle overpopulation by creating a new authority to ensure that infrastructure keeps up with the number of foreign nationals, while also protecting the national identity.\n\n\"Only a PN government can protect Maltese identity. We are a democratic Christian party, we are the party of the nation,\" the PN leader said.\n\nTowards the end of his speech, Borg appealed to PL supporters disillusioned with the government.\n\n\"I ask you: has the government delivered on what it promised 13 years ago? Are you seeing the quality of life they promised?\".\n\nBorg said that four former PL supporters who remain socialists have \"had the courage\" to switch to the PN, naming Ivan Bartolo, Charles Azzopardi, Edmond Cuschieri and Conrad Borg Manche.\n\n\"The PL have attacked them, but they found me to protect them,\" he said.\n\nBorg also appealed to Nationalists who switched their vote to the Labour Party in the past.\n\n\"In the 25 years we spent in government, we did a lot of good, but we weren't perfect, and we hurt people. I wasn't there, but still I ask you for an apology.\"\n\nBorg said he understood that nationalists had voted for the PL to bring about change.\n\n\"Just like in the past when you voted for change, this is your chance to again vote for change,\" he said.",

"title": "Alex Borg apologises for PN's past mistakes in appeal to disillusioned voters - The Malta Independent",
"body": "Nationalist Party Leader Alex Borg ended a mass meeting in Sliema with a direct apology to former Nationalist voters who had drifted away from the party, saying the PN had \"done a lot of good\" during its years in government but had also \"made mistakes\".\n\nAddressing supporters days before the general election, Borg said he wanted to bring disillusioned Nationalists back to the party and urged them to \"vote for change\".\n\n\"Those Nationalists who we hurt, because during those 25 years we did a lot of good, but we also made mistakes. I am sorry to those people,\" Borg said. He added that from the first day of his leadership, one of his goals had been to reconnect with those former supporters.\n\nBorg framed the election as a turning point for the country, telling supporters that Prime Minister Robert Abela had called the election a year early believing the opposition would be unprepared.\n\n\"Robert Abela thought he would find us on the wrong foot,\" Borg said. \"But the Nationalist Party is prepared, determined, and full of energy and proposals.\"\n\nBorg repeatedly described the PN as \"an alternative government\" and said the party had built its electoral programme around ideas gathered from the public during the campaign. He appealed particularly to younger voters, saying he felt a \"personal responsibility\" to give them a better future.\n\nAmong the key proposals referred to during the rally were tax cuts that Borg said would leave at least €1,200 annually in people's pockets, the removal of tax on COLA increases, and the abolition of succession tax and taxes on donations.\n\nHe also pledged a 30% reduction in energy bills from January if the PN is elected to government.\n\nOn healthcare, Borg promised the construction of four new hospitals and the expansion of the Paola Hub, while arguing that previous Nationalist administrations had a proven track record of investing in healthcare infrastructure, including Mater Dei Hospital and the Gozo General Hospital.\n\nEducation also featured prominently in the speech. Borg said a Nationalist government would build a new school every year and increase stipends for post-secondary and tertiary students by 25% from next October.\n\nBorg also promised investment in Gozo connectivity projects, including upgrades to the Mġarr and Ċirkewwa ports and the introduction of a new passenger vessel for the Gozo Channel fleet.\n\nOn transport, Borg criticised the government over what he described as inconsistent plans for a metro system, noting that Labour had initially proposed an underground metro before shifting to an above-ground model.\n\n\"We have a fully-fledged plan of how we are going to deliver the metro,\" he said, adding that work would begin within the first 100 days of a PN administration.\n\nBorg said the studies had already been completed and implementation would take place over five years, with shadow finance minister Adrian Delia ready to include the project in the national budget.\n\nBorg also outlined measures aimed at addressing overpopulation and labour migration, including the creation of a one-stop shop for employers handling work and residence permits.\n\nFor pensioners, he pledged annual pension increases of €650 and promised that elderly people would be entitled to free home visits from a doctor of their choice. He also said cancer medication would become completely free under a Nationalist government.\n\nBorg appealed not only to traditional Nationalist voters but also to disillusioned Labour supporters. He highlighted four candidates who had switched from the Labour Party to the PN and praised what he described as their \"courage\".\n\nClosing the rally, Borg urged voters to take responsibility for the country's future ahead of the election in six days' time.\n\n\"The future of our country is in your hands,\" he said. \"Be the authors of the destiny of our country.\"",

"title": "'Team Malta or Team Borg': Abela says that is the choice voters have before them - The Malta Independent",
"body": "Prime Minister and Labour Party leader Robert Abela said that the choice voters have before them is one between \"Team Malta\" and \"Team Borg\", as he also renewed his appeal to disgruntled voters not to leave their vote at home.\n\nSpeaking at a packed Victor Tedesco Stadium in Hamrun, Abela said that being able to serve the country has been the greatest privilege of his life.\n\nHe said that the Labour movement was full of energy and ideas, and it was with that the country has moved forward. Proof of this, Abela said, is the European Commission's Spring Economic Forecast, which said that Malta is expected to register the strongest economic growth in the European Union until 2027.\n\nAbela pitched the election as a choice between \"Team Malta\" and \"Team Borg.\"\n\nAlex Borg, Abela said, does not even know what a fiscal forecast is or what the rate of inflation is and added that the PN had thrown proposals around at random. The PL leader also said that the workings behind some of those proposals are suspect and that there are ulterior motives behind others.\n\n\"Can you trust them? The economy isn't led by the amateurism that the PN has shown in the last few weeks. If it is led like that, it will be broken and jammed within a short period, and you will suffer. Everyone will suffer,\" he said.\n\n\"Who do you want as Prime Minister of Malta? Alex Borg or Robert Abela,\" the PL leader said.\n\nThe Labour Party leader placed emphasis on his party's past achievements, saying that a PL government had always kept its promise. This was the case with the party's promises to increase pensions, to increase the Children's Allowance, to cut people's taxes, and also to get areas such as Manoel Island, the White Rocks Complex, and Fort Campbell back to the people to turn them into green spaces.\n\n\"Now that we have made it to here, do you want to continue this road with me,\" Abela asked the crowd, to raucous approval. \"We have come too far to stop this progress,\" he continued.\n\nAbela then ran through the party's main proposals for this election: the party's €1,200 super-bonus, the 'Kick Start' programme which will see youths be tax exempt on their first €30,000 of income for their first three years in the working world, the proposed 25% interest-free loan for first-time buyers, increases to pensions, maternity leave, paternity leave, and free mental health screenings.\n\nHe said that we need to improve the country's environment, its health, the quality of life of its people, the conditions of workers, and the economy by creating more quality jobs.\n\nAbela then turned his focus to undecided voters, telling supporters to not stop trying to convince those who had not yet decided.\n\n\"Knock on a door, speak to a relative, phone a friend: tell them that this country does not deserve to put everything that it has achieved at risk,\" he said.\n\n\"We weren't perfect. We know that we have hurt people, but help us be a better version of ourselves,\" he said.\n\nThe decisive moment is here, he said. \"Go out and vote Saturday, and vote early. Don't let anyone decide for you,\" Abela said.\n\nEuropean Commissioner Glenn Micallef also addressed the mass meeting.\n\nHe said that he has been all around Europe in the past months and has seen what is happening in other countries, and this had made him even more proud of what the Labour government has achieved.\n\n\"In other EU countries, electricity bills are increasing. Some families find it difficult to heat their homes. Tearful parents keep things from their children and still cannot make their salaries make it to the end of the month,\" he said. He said that in Malta, by contrast, bills had remained stable due to Robert Abela and his team and their collective competence in leadership.\n\n\"Robert Abela believes in every single one of you. Now he needs you to give him your faith,\" Micallef said.",

Alex Borg or Robert Abela?\" he said, as the crowd cheered for him.\n\nHe accused the PN of being inconsistent in its proposals and underestimating the cost of major pledges by several million euros.\n\nAbela also listed several economic measures taken by the Labour Party over the years, including increases to various social benefits and major tax cuts.\n\nHe mentioned the PL returning Manoel Island to public hands, and its plans to turn White Rocks and Fort Campbell into national parks.\n\nTurning to IVF, he said some people were only alive thanks to publicly funded IVF treatments that were introduced under a Labour government in October 2013.\n\nAbela then urged supporters to continue convincing their friends and family to vote Labour on May 30.\n\n\"I need every one of you. Let's not stop working to convince everyone until the last minute. Knock on doors, call a friend, make sure everyone understands that the country does not deserve to lose what has been built.\"\n\nFor Sunday's mass meeting, Labour brought international music artists La Bouche, Fragma and Christina Novelli to perform and energise the crowd.\n\nThe next mass meeting will be held at Fosos in Floriana with more international artists expected to perform, including Ultra Nate, Daecolm and Armin van Buuren.\n\nSpeaking before Abela, European Commissioner Glenn Micallef praised Abela and his trust in the youth to take the lead in politics.",
