Europe still in the grip of the Big Freeze
The big freeze continued to overwhelm parts of eastern Europe today as record snowfall and harsh temperatures brought entire regions to a standstill. Serbia and Bosnia shut schools and struggled to continue public transport and rubbish collections, as authorities focused on trying to help thousands trapped in remote mountain villages. People across the continent were continuing to dig out from heavy snow after a week of bitter cold in which the death toll, mostly homeless people, continues to rise into the hundreds. Temperatures have fallen as low as minus 36 Celsius in Ukraine, the hardest-hit country. The big freeze has caused traffic chaos throughout Europe, blocking roads, and shutting down airports. But it has also offered opportunities for snowy fun: Ice skaters in the Netherlands were hopeful they could stage a race that has not happened in more than a decade; children in Rome and along the usually temperate Adriatic coast in Croatia frolicked in rare snow; and Bosnians in the capital, Sarajevo, spontaneously organised a winter "Olympics" in which they boarded down main streets and leapt out of windows into deep snow...

Drugs case woman says she was set up by 'boyfriend'
A Romanian woman who arrived in Malta allegedly carrying one kilogram of heroin hidden in the false bottom of her suitcase told police that her boyfriend had set her up. Adela Mariana Creta, 24, arrived on a flight from Brussels in August 2009. Once the drugs, worth €41,000, were found she claimed she had no knowledge of them, Police Inspector Jesmond Borg testified. She said that her boyfriend had given her the bag. She is pleading not guilty to importing the drugs and possession in circumstances which denote it was not for her exclusive use. Inspector Borg said that while under arrest she began shouting that she did not trust me. The case continues.

Bus driver loses licence for a month after accident
A bus driver has lost his licence for a month and been condemned to a suspended jail term after his private car mounted a pavement and hit two teenagers leaving one of them seriously injured. David Attard, 21, from Qormi admitted to involuntarily causing serious injuries to Reece Debono, 13 and slightly injuring Kurt Scicluna, 16, while driving at excessive speed. David Attard was in his Volkswagen in St Sebastian Street, Qormi, on Saturday afternoon when he lost control and veered off the road a few metres away from a zebra crossing. One of the victims was slammed against a metal door during the incident. In pleas on punishment, defence lawyer Edward Gatt argued that his client was a first time offender and asked for the minimum punishment to be meted out. Police Inspector Joseph Agius told Magistrate Giovanni Grixti that the vehicle's brake marks measured 43.8 metres and the crash took place five metres away from a zebra crossing. The youngest of the victims ended up with three broken toes and may have to have one of them amputated. Magistrate Grixti handed down a six month jail term suspended for one year and also...
