"Under-babied".

Italian authorities continue to send NGO rescue ships to ports in northern Italy prolonging the agony of the injured. In this case, people suffering from severe burns were forced to spend 5 extra days at sea before being allowed ashore for hospital treatment. Pure performative cruelty.

Realpolitik: Antonio Tajani, la Sinistra e il piano di pace Video "Sul piano di pace la Sinistra si è astenuta", Antonio Tajani interviene in merito alle manifestazioni in piazza e alle posizioni della Sinistra.

In TV interview Italian Foreign Minister Tajani says those protesting for Palestinian rights are "antisemitic daddy's boys attacking the police who are paid a pittance", to which the interviewer replies, "you are the ones who pay them a pittance."
Rare moment for Italian TV. Tajani taken aback.

Meloni e Salvini dicevano che dovevamo mostrare rispetto per Charlie Kirk dopo il suo omicidio. Trump, invece, praticamente dice, "io sono stato abbastanza furbo da scampare ad un tentativo di assassinio, Charlie Kirk no."

He is actually saying, "I was smart enough to survive an assassination attempt but Charlie Kirk was too dumb to manage it." Wild.

Given the current climate in the USA, I'm almost surprised they bothered to keep it in a private chat.

Yes

It's English for immigration purposes.

Missione riservata in Europa: Frontex riceve per la prima volta funzionari libici di Haftar La delegazione sarà composta da uomini di Tripoli e Bengasi, insieme. La Libia divisa si mostra unita con l’Europa, che vuole più controlli alle frontiere e più rimpatri. Dopo Varsavia (quartier gener...

Today officials from both Tripoli & Benghazi are visiting Frontex in Warsaw and then tomorrow the European Commission in Brussels. These people are funded by the EU to imprison and torture migrants, extort money from them and then shoot at them and throw them into the sea when they attempt to cross.

As indicated in the article, they intend Level B2 (Upper-Intermediate) of the CEFR, rather than Level B1 (Intermediate), which is the current requirement. You may think that one level higher is not much different, in my experience, the gap between B1 & B2 is a tough one to jump.

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

Boat carrying migrants comes under fire from Libyan "Coast Guard" in international waters. 1 person killed & 2 wounded.
Meanwhile, officials from the two Libyan governments (Tripoli & Benghazi) will visit Frontex in Warsaw tomorrow and then the European Commission in Brussels on Wednesday & Thursday

Italian Minister for Families and Equal Opportunities says that educational visits to Auschwitz are just anti-fascist propaganda.

Of course they did. In the MAGA world people with disabilities are "losers".

Reminder of what Salvini was doing 11 years ago: visiting Crimea to support Russian annexation of the region and encourage Italian businesses to invest there.

Lipari, Nordio promuove le carceri nelle isole minori: «Qui isolamento, sicurezza, controllo» «L’isolamento e la rieducazione attraverso una serie di attività che noi chiamiamo recidiva zero», ha detto il ministro

At a conference on Lipari on how to strengthen the future prospects for Italy's numerous smaller islands, the Italian Justice Minister Carlo Nordio proposes ... building prisons on them. Just brilliant.

Certainly an unusual point of view.

YouTube video by MSNBC Family of those detained by ICE in Chicago search for loved ones

I can't help wondering how many people have just "disappeared" because they have nobody to search for them or their family and friends are too scared to search for them. Frankly terrifying.

Trump to be awarded the Buddy Peace Prize.

It is now 273 days since Italian PM Giorgia Meloni held her last press conference. What is she afraid of?

They are also the opening words of the Italian national anthem, so maybe the name of the sandwich, like that of the political party, comes from there.

Regione, i "franchi tiratori" affossano il Governo all'Ars: accuse a FdI e Schifani minaccia di ritirare la manovra quater Aria pesante a Sala d'Ercole dove l'indice è puntato, da fonti di palazzo d'Orleans, proprio sui deputati meloniani. Si aprono scenari al momento imprevedibili

In Sicily, Fratelli d'Italia appears to be deliberately destabilising the regional government, which it is part of, perhaps in an attempt to unseat Governor Renato Schifani (Forza Italia). Evidently, FdI feels in a strong position in the event of early elections.

Emanuela Loi.

A view of via D'Amelio in Palermo, minutes after the explosion of the car bomb planted by Cosa Nostra.

9th October 1967, Emanuela Loi is born in Cagliari.
She is the first female Italian police officer to die on active service, on 19th July 1992, one of the five members of Judge Paolo Borsellino's protection team who die with him that day in the via D'Amelio bomb attack in Palermo.

Sure, give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize while his government is using violence on its own people.

Since Meloni’s government introduced regulations allowing them to detain NGO vessels in port, this power has been used 33 times. On 11 occasions the NGO concerned has taken the case to court winning in all but one.

Lo scandolo non è se qualcuno ha tappato le orecchie durante la preghiera, è che non ci devono essere preghiere di alcun tipo a scuola. La scuola è laica proprio perché deve essere di tutti.
