ROME (ITALPRESS) – Now is official: Douglas Luiz is a new Nottingham Forest player. Following Arnaud Kalimuendo and promising Englishmen James McAtee and Omari Hutchinson, the Tricky Trees have signed 27-year-old Brazilian Douglas Luiz from Juventus on a one-year loan deal worth €3 million with an option to buy that can easily be converted into a compulsory deal set at €28.5 million.

The Brazilian hastened his departure after returning late for the summer training camp, irritating both coach Igor Tudor and the club and effectively ending his experience with the Juventus jersey.

RABAT (MOROCCO) (ITALPRESS) – The United Nations has paid tribute to the humanitarian commitment of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, President of the Al-Quds Committee, towards the people of Gaza, following the dispatch of additional humanitarian aid considered “significant” for the benefit of the population.

“We welcome the decision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to provide substantial humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,” said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General. Dujarric stressed the impact of this royal initiative in a context marked by “catastrophic” living conditions. “The inhabitants of Gaza lack everything: food, medicine, shelter,” he said, urging the international community to “do everything possible” to alleviate suffering and increase pressure for an immediate ceasefire.

The aid ordered by the Moroccan Sovereign consists of about 100 tons of food and medicine, mainly intended for the most vulnerable groups, particularly children and infants. In his capacity as President of the Al-Quds Committee, the Moroccan King ensured that this aid, like previous shipments, would be delivered by air through Ben Gurion Airport and distributed directly and urgently to Palestinian beneficiaries.

PARIS (ITALPRESS) – “Buying Chevalier instead of Donnarumma? These are always difficult decisions to make. I have no problem making them, but I won’t explain anything about the players who are at PSG. I’m not interested. I can understand the criticism of our decision and mine. But we’re calm. We know where we want to go, and that’s the most important thing for me.” This was said by PSG coach Luis Enrique regarding the decision to acquire the former Lille goalkeeper and leave Donnarumma out of the squad for the European Super Cup.

On the eve of the Ligue 1 match against Nantes, the coach hasn’t ruled out other transfer market moves: “Our obligation is to remain vigilant until the deal is closed. We’re satisfied with the reinforcements, but we remain focused on any situation,” he added.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – MaltaPost, together with other European postal operators under PostEurop, has warned that shipments of goods to the United States may face severe disruption once new US customs regulations come into effect on 29 August. Sweden’s PostNord and Norway’s Posten Bring announced they will pause shipments to the US ahead of the regulation’s start, raising fears of wider disruptions across Europe.

The US executive order will abolish the current $800 duty-free threshold, meaning all imports will be subject to customs duties regardless of value or origin. The change overturns long-standing international postal rules overseen by the Universal Postal Union. PostEurop said the measure could have major consequences for postal companies, private senders, and businesses relying on parcel deliveries to the US. Concerns remain over how duties will be collected, what data needs to be submitted, and how postal operators will coordinate with US Customs.

With technical details only published on 15 August, operators have little time to adapt. The association cautioned that, without clear processes, members might be forced to restrict or suspend goods shipments to the US temporarily. PostEurop stressed that its members are working with national authorities to safeguard services and maintain the Universal Postal Service.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Malta’s annual inflation rate remained steady at 2.5% in July, the National Statistics Office confirmed, keeping it higher than both the EU and euro area averages. Eurostat data show that inflation across the EU edged up to 2.4%, while the euro area average held at 2.0%.

Malta’s rate, though above these benchmarks, was the 8th lowest among the EU’s 27 member states. Czechia, the Netherlands, and Portugal also recorded 2.5%. Despite Malta’s comparatively low position, inflation trends in major economies like Germany, France, and Italy ensured that most member states – 20 in all – reported rates above the EU average, with 21 exceeding the euro area’s. Notably, all non-euro members posted above-average inflation. The highest inflation levels were registered in Romania (6.6%), Estonia (5.6%) and Slovakia (4.6%). Cyprus (0.1%), France (0.9%) and Ireland (1.6%) reported the lowest rates.

Across the bloc, annual inflation fell in 8 member states, was unchanged in 6, and rose in 13. In Malta, food and non-alcoholic beverages were the main driver, contributing 0.64 percentage points to the overall rate, with meat prices leading the rise. Restaurants and hotels followed at +0.62pp, while transport added +0.54pp, driven largely by higher air fares. The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices, which excludes owner-occupied housing, provides comparable data across EU states. However, housing remains a significant unmeasured cost in Malta, where property prices have surged in recent years.
