Good morning.

The following are the top stories in Malta's newspapers.

Times of Malta says Malta’s trial by jury system has been called into question, with a team of lawyers arguing its present form violates a defendant’s right to a fair trial. The newspaper also quotes the police commissioner saying policemen are only subjected to urine tests if suspicions of substance abuse arise.

The Malta Independent reports how a young boy, Nigel Spiteri, returned to Malta after 10 months in a hospital abroad during which he was given a heart transplant. It also reports that most businesses still find a six-day postal schedule necessary.

In-Nazzjon leads with comments by Adrian Delia yesterday, when he said that current goings on in the police are the result of the government's xejn mhu xejn attitude.  It also reports a call by a woman's organisation for investigations into alleged domestic violence by a former assistant police commissioner. 

l-orizzont focuses on a commitment by Joseph Muscat to improve the lower part of Valletta, including the school and the area of Evans Building. It also reports how an Italian was on Sunday accused of the attempted murder of two Maltese.
