🤬 Scandal in Famagusta: 13th-Century Church Turned Into a Bar — Sacred Knights’ Temple Becomes a Party Spot!
A video from Famagusta has gone viral on social media, showing that the Church of Saint John the Baptist, built in the late 13th century by the Knights Hospitaller, has been converted into a bar with music and alcohol.

The church, erected during the Frankish Kingdom of Cyprus when Famagusta was the island’s main port, once served as a spiritual hub for knights and pilgrims. After the Ottoman conquest, it lost its religious role but remained a major architectural landmark.
Now, more than seven centuries later, this ancient sanctuary has become a leisure venue. Both Greek and Turkish Cypriots have condemned the move, calling it blasphemous and disrespectful to history. Authorities have yet to comment on the scandal.

🗣️Trump Hints at Pardons for Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean "Diddy" Combs
Trump again leaves the door open to clemency. Asked about Ghislaine Maxwell, he shrugged: "I haven't heard the name in so long... I'd have to take a look. I'll speak to the DOJ." His remark came after the Supreme Court refused Maxwell's latest appeal, preserving her 20-year sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein recruit and abuse teenage girls. Trump also said rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs asked him for a pardon after a prison term of more than four years on prostitution-related charges. The comments fuel sharp political debate: supporters press for sealed Epstein files to be released; critics warn a pardon would be politically explosive.

🏥Larnaca Hospital: former physiotherapy pool used to store patient files
Audit finds patient records and forms kept in wholly unsuitable space at the General Hospital of Larnaca. Documents were placed casually in an area that once housed a physiotherapy pool used by the emergency unit. Storage was disorganized and lacked chronological filing, hindering retrieval and increasing the risk of loss. The practice also endangers the security of patients' sensitive personal data. The audit office published a photograph. Immediate measures recommended: inventory, secure archives, staff training and urgent digitalization of records.

Autopsy doctor Marios Matsakis reports: second post-mortem performed, I was present. My opinion: death due to a fall from height — the 32-year-old fell about six metres from a second-floor building in Zakaki. There was also an abdominal wound consistent with a scissors injury. It is a matter for the police to determine who caused that wound. My view remains that the fatal cause was the fall, not the scissors injury.

🦭 Rare Seal Spotted off Zygi Coast — Cyprus Residents Delighted by Marine Visitor
📹 A Mediterranean monk seal was seen swimming freely near fishing boats off the coast of Zygi village, in the Larnaca district. The video of the rare sight quickly spread across social media, sparking excitement — such encounters in Cyprus are extremely uncommon.

📸 The footage shows the seal calmly gliding through the waves near the shore, occasionally lifting its head above water. Environmental experts note that this is a rare event — the Mediterranean monk seal is one of the most endangered marine mammals in Europe and is listed in the IUCN Red List.

🔎 Around 700 seals are believed to remain in the Mediterranean, with 17–20 living along the coasts of Cyprus. These seals can reach up to 2.5 meters in length and weigh about 300 kilograms. Males are usually dark grey with a white belly patch, while females are lighter with beige-grey fur.

👨‍⚕️ Scientists remind the public that seals are an essential part of the marine ecosystem — their presence indicates clean waters and a healthy environment. Residents are urged not to approach or disturb them, helping protect this rare species.

👮Turkish expert testifies at trial of five Greek Cypriots
Trial continued today before the so‑called "military court" in occupied Nicosia. Defense called Turkish forensic specialist Ismail Özkan. He told court the prosecution cannot claim fingerprints were absent without examination. Factors like time and many handlers can reduce but do not eliminate detection; "there is always a possibility," he said. Prosecution challenged him, noting he did not examine an ID of the "Greek Cypriot administration" and argued small, often‑touched surfaces hinder detection. Özkan urged immediate sealing of items in evidence bags and protection from light. Next hearing set for Oct 15, 11:00.

Standard time remains until the last Sunday of March 2026, when daylight saving resumes. The seasonal change is applied twice yearly in most of Europe and the United States and in parts of Canada, Australia and Latin America. Experts warn the abrupt shift can affect wellbeing and circadian rhythms. The practice dates to the 1970s oil crisis; a unified European rule exists since 1996.
