Valetta, Dec.8.– Thousands of protesters marched through the streets of Valletta on Sunday as pressure mounted on Malta’s prime minister to resign immediately over the investigation into the murder of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
At least 5,000 demonstrators marched from parliament to the office of Joseph Muscat, holding up photos of the journalist, who was killed by a car bombing in October 2017, and placards reading “mafia state”, “assassins” and “blood on your hands.”

Washington DC, Dec.7 (DP.net).– One America News competes with CNN, Fox and Newsmax as an all news network but concentrating more on the news and facts than in long opinionated interviews and/or roundtables. However, this time their star investigative reporter, Chanel Rion, offers a two part (one hour each) documentary including interviews to several witnesses who destroy the Adam Schiff's impeachment case against President Trump.
Among the interviewed are high echelon Ukrainian politicians and diplomats, including Yuriy Vitaliyovych Lutsenko, a Ukrainian politician whose latest post was Prosecutor General of Ukraine from 12 May 2016 until 29 August 2019, who appears on location and in-person in the first part of this two-part investigative report.
Former New York Mayor and Presidential Candidate to the 2008 elections, Rudy Giuliani, appears prominently in this documentary to debunk the impeachment "hoax" (according to his own words) and exposes alleged Biden family corruption in Ukraine. Prominent in his OAN appearance is the fact that his investigation on the Biden family corruption deals with Ukrainians started well before Joe Biden entered the Presidential bid, contrary to Schiff's allegations accusing President Trump of using Giuliani's good offices to discredit one of his more prominent opponents.
An ongoing impeachment inquiry in the US House of Representatives is focused on whether President Trump abused his office by making these requests of Ukraine's President Zelensky, and whether Trump conditioned the security assistance funds, or a meeting Zelensky was seeking with the U.S. president, on the CrowdStrike or Biden probes.

The Trudeau Liberals emerged from the Oct. 21 election with too few seats to govern alone. Here’s a primer on how minority rule could work with the Conservatives, Bloc, NDP and Greens, and what could happen next
Ottawa, Dec.6 (DP.net).– The 2019 Canadian federal election (formally the 43rd Canadian general election) was held on October 21, 2019, to elect members of the House of Commons to the 43rd Canadian Parliament.
The Liberal Party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, won 157 seats to form a minority government and lost the majority they had won in the 2015 election. The Liberals lost the popular vote to the Conservatives, which marks only the second time in Canadian history that a governing party will form a government while receiving less than 35 per cent of the national popular vote. In spite of getting a higher popular vote at the national level, the Conservative Party only got 121 seats. A total of 170 votes are needed in Parliament to get a mojority.
The new Liberal minority government will face its first do-or-die vote by Dec. 10.
His Majesty warns against unilateral Israeli measures.
Amman, Nov. 28.– His Majesty King Abdullah has warned that the continued absence of prospects for a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue, the Middle East’s central cause, threatens regional and global stability and security.
In a letter to Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People Cheikh Niang on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People marked annually on November 29, King Abdullah also warned that unilateral measures, including land appropriation and violation of international law and human rights, would only fuel conflict and frustration, thus empowering extremism, according to a Royal Court statement.
