These are the main stories featured in Saturday's newspapers:

Times of Malta reports that a new fireworks factory will be built in Għarb,
though residents were hoping they got rid of such plants once and for all. It also reports that motorbike fatalities more than doubled this year when compared to deaths in 2017.

L-orizzont says a European report had named a number of "conservative" Maltese NGOs among those fighting against equality and civil rights. A second story cites an expert warning about the impact of pornography on children. 

In-Nazzjon reports that more than seven million cigarettes had been intercepted by Customs. It also carries a report about the state of the home for the elderly in Floriana. 

The Malta Independent says 18 NGOs have called on the government to stop looking the other way as a boat with 31 migrants remains stranded off Malta. It also reports that the Russian vice-president of football club AS Monaco was one of those who obtained a Maltese passport.
