The survey was con- ducted a week before the government withdrew its proposals to include surrogacy and anony- mous gamete donation. While overall, 43.2% of people said they were in favour of the proposed IVF law amendments, 37.4% said they were against. Another 18.1% were unsure. But the survey also found a split in opinion be- tween men and women. While 45.8% of men were in favour of the proposed changes and 31% against, the balance was reversed among women. The survey showed that 40.5% of women supported the IVF amendments, while 43.2% were against. Women were also more decided than men. While 13.2% of females were uncertain of their stand, the level of un- certainty increased to 23.2% among males. today today SUNDAY • 10 JUNE 2018 • ISSUE 970 • PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY today • PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY today DAPHNE CARUANA GALIZIA LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Sources told MaltaToday the request was made a few weeks ago. But this newspaper is in- formed that the telephone logs have not yet been pro- vided, as a number of security issues could be raised over re- leasing the entire telephone logs of the Prime Minister. The logs will contain sensitive information on Muscat's tele- phone contacts, which also include conversations with various interna- tional leaders. Government sources said that they were concerned that the mag- istrate's and his team's access to the sensitive logs was debatable in view of the magistrate's decision not to act quicker on securing access to Caruana Galizia's last used laptop. "He acceded to the Caruana Gali- zias' wishes to deny him access to her laptop, and the family objected to having papers and documents searched in the family house," the source told MaltaToday. While the police had filed a judicial request to the magistrate to secure access to the last-used laptop by the jour- nalist, it was only in late April that a friend of the family voluntarily passed on two laptops belong- ing to Caruana Gali- zia to the German federal police. The laptops report- edly contain the last correspondence sent by Caruana Galizia, both personal and work-related. Caruana Galizia's son, Matthew, has repeatedly alleged that the mur- der of his mother was politically- motivated. In April, the Daphne Project, an international consor- tium of newspapers, reported that economy minister Chris Cardona had been witnessed speaking to one of the men arrested for carry- ing out the bomb attack that killed the journalist. Cardona was said to have been seen speaking to Alfred Degiorgio 'il-Fulu' at the Ferdinand bar in Siggiewi both before and af- ter the murder. Cardona had said he doesn't recall speaking to any of the three men accused of the murder. Cardona had sued Caruana Gali- zia for libel after the journalist claimed a witness had seen the min- ister inside a German brothel. Ge- olocation data for Cardona's mobile phone was deposited in court as ev- idence requested by the defence in the libel suit, but only recently the civil court struck the case off when the defence was unable to summon Caruana Galizia's heirs to testify. Cardona has three months to file an official request to have the case reinstated and continued.
