“Di fatto restano le liste bloccate”. Questa la sintesi fatta dal capogruppo 5 Stelle in Senato Luca Pirondini dopo il voto a Palazzo Madama che introduce su iniziativa del centrodestra nella nuova legge elettorale i capolista bloccati e preferenziali parziali. “Voi preferivamo che gli italiani decidessero chi mandare in Parlamento, mentre loro hanno fatto l’opposto dopo che per anni Giorgia Meloni diceva di voler le preferenze. Oggi hanno votato contro la nostra proposta e poi espongono i cartelli a far credere che hanno inserito le preferenze. Siamo alla fantascienza”.

C’è un filo nelle carte del ‘Sistema Sorrento’ che parte dall’ex sindaco Massimo Coppola, ai domiciliari a Valmontone e reo confesso di un impressionante numero di appalti e concorsi corrotti e truccati, e arriva sia all’ex sindaco di Vico Equense ed ex consigliere regionale Gennaro Cinque, che al presidente del Museo Correale di Sorrento, Gaetano Mauro. Entrambi non indagati, ed estranei al ‘Sistema’. Quel filo passa attraverso la figura di Giovanni Coppola, detto ‘Il barbiere’, perché quello era il suo mestiere ufficiale. Ha 85 anni e vive a Vico Equense. È l’uomo con il quale l’ex sindaco Coppola avrebbe complottato di manipolare un paio di concorsi al comune di Sorrento in cambio di…

“Aumentare la produzione nazionale” di petrolio e gas “significa ridurre la dipendenza dall’estero, pagare meno, garantire costi più bassi a famiglie e imprese, difendere la sicurezza energetica della nazione, oltre ovviamente a generare maggiori royalty e benefici economici e occupazionali per i territori”. Lo afferma la premier Giorgia Meloni in un video pubblicato sui social dopo il Cdm che ha varato il decreto con “disposizioni urgenti in materia di prezzi petroliferi connessi al protrarsi della nuova crisi dei mercati internazionali e di infrastrutture e attività energetiche strategiche”. Le suo intenzioni le aveva già dichiarate a Bari, nel corso delle celebrazioni per la longevità…

Il malore accusato dal calciatore del Pisa Rosen Bozhinov in occasione della gara contro la Juve Stabia di domenica 6 settembre è stato causato dal caldo eccessivo. Lo ha sottolineato il Pisa in un comunicato sul suo sito internet ufficiale. “Al termine di un’approfondita valutazione medica, è stato confermato che il calciatore Rosen Bozhinov ha avuto una sincope convulsiva causata da condizioni climatiche sfavorevoli – si legge – a seguito di un’attività fisica ad alta intensità svolta in un contesto meteorologico eccezionalmente caldo e inaccettabile“, si legge nella nota ufficiale del club. In ogni caso, il Pisa Sporting Club “non può esimersi dal sottolineare la grave negligenza che si…

Un medico senologo di 69 anni è agli arresti domiciliari con l’accusa di violenza sessuale aggravata e continuata, commessa nell’esercizio della professione. Secondo l’ipotesi accusatoria, durante le visite di prevenzione del tumore al seno avrebbe prospettato alle pazienti la necessità di accertamenti invasivi, veri e propri abusi sessuali, senza una concreta esigenza diagnostica, terapeutica o preventiva.

Vance cauto sul dividendo Trump: «Non andrà ai ricchi, pagato con i dazi» Il vicepresidente repubblicano difende il piano di distribuzione di benefici agli americani, sottolineando che i fondi proverranno dai dazi e non andranno ai più abbienti JD Vance cauto sul “dividendo Trump” da 5mila dollari agli americani qualora i repubblicani vincessero le elezioni. «Quello che il presidente sta dicendo è che se i repubblicani restano al potere, gli americani riceveranno dei benefit dell’incredibile ricchezza creata», ha spiegato respingendo le critiche di chi lo ha accusato di voler «comprare voti».

Realizzi su Inditex a Madrid, analisti delusi dai margini del secondo trimestre Ad agosto il titolo aveva toccato i massimi storici (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Il buon andamento delle vendite in agosto non basta a sostenere il titolo Inditex a Madrid, dove le quotazioni della casa madre di Zara, Bershka e Massimo Dutti, che il mese scorso avevano raggiunto il massimo storico, registrano la peggiore prestazione del listino principale. A pesare è il dato inferiore alle attese sull'utile del secondo trimestre, penalizzato dall'aumento dei costi. Tra maggio e luglio l'utile lordo si è attestato al 56,7% dei ricavi, lievemente al di sotto delle aspettative degli analisti. La marginalità ha…

Yemen, la sfida di Teheran ai sauditi Il controllo dello Stretto di Bab el-Mandeb mette a rischio il commercio marittimo con l’Asia Le milizie Houthi hanno conquistato la città portuale di Mocha e le strategiche isole Hanish al largo del centro. Continua, così, lo sforzo delle forze filoiraniane di ottenere il controllo totale della costa yemenita sul Mar Rosso e dello Stretto di Bab el-Mandeb. Un’evoluzione del conflitto, cominciato nel 2014, che rischia di complicare ulteriormente la situazione militare e commerciale dell’area mediorientale, già alle prese con la guerra in Iran e il blocco di Hormuz. Una evoluzione che rischia di rendere ancora più difficile far arrivare le merci…

- Published A tourist coach has crashed in the south-eastern Swiss Alps, leaving several people dead and several injured, local police say. The bus overturned between Susch and Zernez in the Graubünden - also known as Grisons - region late on Thursday afternoon. A large team of rescuers equipped with several helicopters was deployed to the scene. Some 48 Dutch passengers were on board the bus, according to a spokeswoman for the General Dutch Association of Travel Companies on behalf of tour operator OAD. The spokesperson told Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf they could not yet say how many people had been killed or injured. Images on Swiss news sites show a coach lying on its side beside a…

- Published A man has been given a six-month jail term in France after he threatened to kill a female primary school teacher who had disciplined his son at a village primary school. He was sentenced after a fast-track hearing on Thursday, six days after the events unfolded in Le Fauga, a village with a population of about 2,600 just outside the southwestern city of Toulouse. The teacher has been granted official protection and has gone on sick leave. French Education Minister Edouard Geffray said: "No teacher should be afraid to do their job. Attacking one of them is attacking the entire institution." Over the summer, Geffray steered through a law aimed at protecting staff from a…

- Published At least 24 schoolchildren have died in a stampede as they tried to flee a fire that engulfed two schools in rebel-held Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials there have said. Adults are also reported to have died in the fire and there are fears that the death toll could rise further in the densely populated Kadutu commune. Survivors have been taken to nearby hospitals, and footage of the scene shows children lying on hospital floors in pain. Some 300 houses have also been destroyed in the fire, the cause of which is unknown. Rebel‑appointed authorities released a provisional death toll of 24 on Thursday evening, confirming previous reports, but there are…

- Published Yemen's Houthis have seized the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces, military sources and witnesses say. Mokha's capture leaves the Iran-backed group only 75km (46 miles) away from the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the southern gateway to a trade route that links Asia and Europe. The Houthis said they posed no threat to international shipping but reiterated their threat to target vessels from Saudi Arabia, which has relied on the Red Sea for oil exports since the US and Israel's war effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf. The escalation of the conflict between the Houthis, Yemen's government and Saudi Arabia has contributed to a…

- Published For 25 years, the only physical trace Juliette Scauso has had from the last day of her father's life is his mangled firefighter helmet. Scauso's father, Dennis - part of a New York City Fire Department (FDNY) hazmat unit for 12 years - initially was not scheduled to work on 11 September, 2001, but switched shifts for the overtime pay. The Long Island father of four was likely in the South Tower of the World Trade Center when it collapsed, the Scauso family was told. The helmet with his badge number was found months later. "I've spent essentially my entire life knowing my father died, and learning to live with the fact that we never recovered him," said Scauso, who was four when…

- Published US President Donald Trump has offered every adult American $5,000 (£3,700) if Republicans win November's midterm elections, but it is unclear how such a plan would be funded and whether it is legal. His remarks prompted raucous applause from supporters at a party convention on Wednesday night, although Democrats labelled it an "empty promise". Trump also told the Republican conference that the money would have to be spent in the US, but it is unclear how that would be monitored. US Vice-President JD Vance suggested it might be paid for by tariff revenue and that such cheques would not go to wealthy Americans. Is Trump's offer legal? Under US federal law, it is illegal to give…

Watch: Is Trump's $5,000 election pledge legal? Donald Trump has pledged $5,000 (£3,700) to every American if the Republicans win the midterm elections in November. The US president offered no details on how the plan would work or where the money would come from. Democrats labelled it an "empty promise" and others have questioned whether such a pledge is even legal BBC North America editor Sarah Smith looks into whether Trump's promise - which would cost the US government some $1.3 trillion - stands up.

- Published A pilot onboard an Amazon cargo plane that crashed in Miami, Florida, on Sunday noted it was going too fast before it overshot a runway, crashed into other vehicles and burst into flames, new flight data shows. The investigation update from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said one pilot warned the other in the cockpit multiple times about "the aircraft's excessive speed" but noted "there was not a consistent verbal response", even as an altitude alarm sounded. The Boeing 767-300's landing speed was 158 knots (292km/h), which experts have noted was on the high end. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the crash that killed five people and injured five…

Republican chief election officials say it is too late to implement Trump’s mail ballot order Seven Republican election officials urged the Supreme Court to not let the Trump administration’s controversial proposal go into effect for November. Republican chief election officials from seven states said that it’s too late for President Donald Trump’s mail-in ballot order to be implemented before the midterm election, urging the Supreme Court to not allow the rule to go into effect in a brief submitted to the court on Wednesday. Trump’s order, signed in March, aimed to crack down on mail-in voting and assert federal control ahead of November’s election. In August, the U.S. Postal Service…

The department created to stop another 9/11 may no longer be equipped for counterterrorism work Nearly a quarter century after the Sept. 11 attacks, some former officials and lawmakers are warning the U.S. is less able to prevent future terror attacks. The Trump administration has fundamentally reshaped the Department of Homeland Security since taking office 19 months ago, so much so that the agency created to prevent the next 9/11 is doing little counterterrorism work. DHS is now almost entirely focused on apprehending unauthorized immigrants, having cut many staffers that worked on issues ranging from protecting against hackers to intelligence analysis, and reassigned counterterrorism…

Bad actors in China and Russia are already weaponizing Anthropic’s AI Anthropic says foreign scientists, hackers and security services circumvented restrictions to use Claude for dangerous work, including possible bioweapons research. Killer drones. Mass surveillance. Bioweapons. Artificial intelligence threats that might have seemed like science fiction nightmares just a year ago are much closer to reality today, according to AI powerhouse Anthropic. And some may already be here. In a lengthy new report out Thursday, Anthropic said that criminal hacking gangs, Chinese security bureaus, Russia-linked spies and Yemen-based arms manufacturers, among others, have exploited a web of fraudulent…

9/11 and Tampa: Two weeks that reshaped Australian politics In September 2001, then Prime Minister John Howard faced two crises, the Tampa affair and the 9/11 terror attacks in Washington, that would define 20 years of Australian immigration politics. CANBERRA — September 2001 presented John Howard with both the greatest opportunity and the greatest crisis of his first five years as Australia’s prime minister. Howard was the only foreign leader in Washington when al Qaeda attacked New York and Washington, killing nearly 3,000 people. Howard had been scheduled to address a joint session of Congress on Sept. 12 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the ANZUS Treaty, which Australians regard…

Sam Altman pitches utilities on AI grid defense The previously unreported meetings have come as utility companies grapple the risks posed to the grid by autonomous hacks. OpenAI has met with representatives of multiple top power companies to discuss methods of securing the electrical grid, the artificial intelligence firm told POLITICO — conversations that occurred amid a continuing series of revelations about its own products’ role in a sprawling cyberattack. CEO Sam Altman has also offered one possible solution to the cybersecurity risks: OpenAI’s own cyber services. The energy security discussions, two of which were not previously reported, started July 20. Altman most recently met with…

Appeals court rejects ICE detention policy, setting stage for SCOTUS The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals compared ICE’s policy to Japanese internment. A federal appeals court on Thursday rejected ICE’s effort to detain millions of people without bond, comparing it to the “historical stain” of Japanese internment during World War II. “Mass detention of marginalized individuals without due process harkens back to some of the darkest moments in our country’s history,” 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Nicole Berner, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 majority opinion joined by Judge Barbara Keenan, an Obama appointee. “Those shameful and abhorrent past detentions were limited in scope in…

The Bab el-Mandeb Problem Houthi control of a Red Sea port brings Tehran closer to claiming another critical waterway. Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at the fight for control of the Bab el-Mandeb strait, record-high global temperatures, and Ukraine’s request for more foreign aid. The Fall of Mokha Houthi rebels in Yemen seized the strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha on Thursday in their quest to eventually control the vital Bab el-Mandeb strait. The sweeping ground offensive—which pushed out forces allied with the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized Yemeni government—raised concerns that the two sides’ fragile 2022 truce may officially be over and that Yemen has…

The ‘Super-Terrorist’ We Still Can’t Escape Carlos the Jackal left behind a violent, celebrity-obsessed world. When I first entered the counterterrorism world in 1997 as an attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, a sea change was underway in the field. Historically, terrorists were animated by the desire, in expert Brian Jenkins’ words, to have “a lot of people watching, not a lot of people dead.” In the latter half of the 20th century, hijackings rarely resulted in mass casualties; there were targeted assassinations and horrific killings—the 1972 Munich Olympics come to mind—but, at least in the terrorists’ minds, they were carried out for a specific goal, such as Palestinian…

The Paradox of Prabowonomics Indonesia is experiencing 5 percent growth, but not everyone is feeling it. On paper, Indonesia’s economic growth rate should be the envy of any world leader. With 290 million people; around 70 percent of them of working age; a median age of about 30; and a large, increasingly tech-savvy consumer market, Indonesia has many reasons to be the poster child of the emerging world. It is a G-20 economy with abundant natural resources—from palm oil and nickel to coal and gas—and has maintained growth of around 5 percent since the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet as President Prabowo Subianto approaches the second anniversary of his inauguration, his popularity is falling as more…

The Political Cost of Sending Korean Forces to Hormuz By pressuring Seoul to support his Iran war, Trump is weakening a vital alliance. Last week, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung’s administration appeared poised to request that the legislature deploy the country’s navy to the Strait of Hormuz. Rumors had been building for days, and while presidential officials had been keen to emphasize that no final decision had been made, press reports suggested plans for a noncombat naval deployment of ships and that maritime aircraft were nearing their final steps. Iran was reacting, as well, making announcements in Korean warning against the deployment. South Korea’s navy is well equipped and…

Scientists Saved Us From Catastrophic Risk Before Track-two science diplomacy can provide vital safeguards on AI. In 1957, at the height of the Cold War nuclear arms race, 22 scientists from 10 countries gathered in the small Canadian fishing village of Pugwash. Many were leading architects of the technologies underpinning their governments’ national security programs, including several who had contributed to the development of the world’s first atomic weapons under the Manhattan Project. Now, they were grappling with the sense that they had lost control over the technologies they had helped create. The founders of the Pugwash conference heeded calls from philosopher Bertrand Russell and…

Top Signs You’re Heading for a Quagmire Failed wars are predictable, if you know what to look for. In a world where great-power competition is intensifying, a revealing test of foreign-policy acumen is a country’s ability to avoid costly conflicts or other endeavors that waste resources, divert attention, and ultimately leave them weaker rather than stronger. In other words: staying out of quagmires. Great powers are often happy to see their rivals stumble into strategic quicksand and may even try to encourage such developments, but wise leaders try to stay out of this kind of trouble. In recent decades, China has done a far better job of avoiding quagmires than either the United States or…

Iran Launches Massive Attack on Global Shipping Such assaults put the Strait of Hormuz under growing pressure as global crude prices skyrocket. Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at a massive Iranian attack on global shipping, Israel punishing the United Kingdom over its trade restrictions, and Europe’s fractured space strategy. Hormuz Under Fire Tehran claimed on Wednesday to have carried out its largest known wave of attacks on shipping since the start of the Iran war. Such assaults put the Strait of Hormuz under growing pressure, skyrocketing global crude prices and suggesting that recent efforts to gradually reopen the strategic waterway are at an impasse. Welcome back to…

Why Germany Isn’t Punishing Russia Harder Domestic politics constrains Berlin’s ability to respond to an attempted drone attack. Amid an escalating Russian sabotage campaign against Europe, Germany’s measured response to one recent attack is ringing alarm bells for many. But with rising populism at home and fears of escalation, it may be the best the country can offer. In early August, Germany discovered an explosive-laden drone near a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig Airport. Last week, Germany formally accused Russia of being behind the attempted attack, and in turn shuttered a Russian diplomatic mission, ramped up travel restrictions for Russian nationals, closed a Russian cultural…

The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire. I would know I’m in a Home Depot blindfolded, because of a distinct quality to the air—crisp and particulate, smelling like wood dust and paint and the oiled metal of power tools. The Home Depot smell is buried deep in my childhood, filed somewhere between “building a deck” and “first day of spring.” Anyway, the Home Depot website is just as big. And while it doesn’t smell like sawdust, it’s easier to find stuff. Our roundup includes Home Depot promo codes from 20% to…

How 9/11 Fractured the Global Order and The terrorist attack on the United States 25 years ago remains among the most consequential events of this century. By fundamentally altering the trajectories of the United States and Russia, as well as that of a rising China, al-Qaeda’s attack set in motion developments that would produce the geopolitical tumult we live in today. MADRID—A quarter-century ago, the world changed course in an instant. The new millennium had roughly coincided with the arrival of new presidents in the United States and Russia, then the world’s two greatest military powers. But the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the US fundamentally altered both countries’…

In the 25 years since 9/11, the US has pursued counterterrorism operations in dozens of countries around the world. Brown University’s Cost of War Project tracked operations in nearly 80 countries between 2021 and 2023, or roughly 40% of countries worldwide. In most countries where the US conducted operations, it trained or assisted local security forces’ counterterrorism efforts. In the Middle East and North Africa, the US has also carried out proxy missions, called “127e” programs, where local operatives carry out US objectives. Lottie is a reporter at GZERO, where she covers all things geopolitics for the website and daily newsletter. Before moving to the US, she reported for The Times…

L’euforia e il gelo. Le urla e il silenzio. La sera del 6 settembre, a Magdeburgo, la Germania mostra due volti opposti. Per una notte, la Sassonia-Anhalt si trova al centro del mondo. Alla chiusura dei seggi, sui maxischermi compaiono le prime proiezioni. Bastano due cifre: AfD 44,5%, CDU 18,5%. Nel Maritim Hotel, quartier generale dei cristiano-democratici, la sala si ammutolisce.

Sánchez releases classified documents on Ceuta crisis Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government on Wednesday declassified documents showing that Morocco had knowledge of plans for a mass migrant crossing into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta days before it occurred. The disclosure may be an attempt to deflect some of the backlash Sánchez has faced over the surge of 70,000 people into the tiny North African territory, including mass protests, calls for his resignation, and criticism that his pro-immigration policies left Spain unprepared – all especially perpetuated by the far-right, anti-immigration party Vox that has been rising in the polls ahead of the 2027 election. But the release…

Sul cruscotto dei conflitti in Medio Oriente si è accesa una nuova spia: quella dello Yemen. O meglio si è “riaccesa”, perché il paese è in guerra già dal 2024, con intensità variabile. Negli ultimi giorni abbiamo assistito al risveglio del conflitto tra i ribelli huthi (che hanno legami profondi con il regime iraniano) e l’alleanza tra le forze governative yemenite e il grande vicino del nord, l’Arabia Saudita. Gli huthi hanno lanciato i loro missili contro le installazioni petrolifere saudite nel sud del regno e minacciano le esportazioni di idrocarburi sauditi che passano per il mar Rosso a causa del blocco dello stretto di Hormuz. Questa nuova crisi rischia di avere una portata inedita.…

In this ‘ask ian,’ Ian Bremmer reflects on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, examining the long-term consequences of America's response to the attacks. Ian recalls the fear and trauma of that day, but also the extraordinary unity that followed. NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time in its history. Allies around the world rallied behind the United States. But the global solidarity of that moment gave way to costly overreach. The war in Afghanistan became a grinding campaign that ended with the Taliban back in power. The invasion of Iraq, a war of choice built on misleading intelligence, left a vacuum that fueled radicalism and instability. Ian says the United States not only failed to…
