Malta's judicial system faces scrutiny as a court hears testimony about an assault case, per Times of Malta. The accused, described by witnesses as 'a great kid', was involved in a confrontation with police officers.

The ongoing trial highlights tensions between legal procedures and public sentiment, as the defense portrays the accused positively while prosecutors focus on the incident's gravity, Times of Malta reports.

Meanwhile, a recent shop ceiling collapse in Valletta left one person uninjured, according to Times of Malta. The incident occurred while someone was inside the premises, prompting safety concerns about commercial structures.

Flight RYR3ZB is climbing out of Valletta at 7,000 ft, heading eastbound, as observed by the globe's aviation layer.
