ROME (ITALY) (ITALPRESS) – Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi visited Doha for an official meeting with Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, Qatar’s Interior Minister, to discuss migration and security cooperation.

During his visit, Piantedosi toured the General Command of the Internal Security Force Lekhwiya and the National Command Center. He expressed Italy’s solidarity following the recent attack in the Qatari capital, praising Qatar as a country committed to diplomacy and dialogue in the region.

“Qatar is a privileged partner for Italy. Our friendship provides a solid foundation on which to build closer cooperation, based on shared responsibilities,” Piantedosi said. “The Gulf region holds major geopolitical importance, and Qatar, with its increasingly dynamic role, is an indispensable player.”

The two ministers discussed migration challenges, reaffirming their joint commitment to tackling migrant trafficking and organized crime, while strengthening police cooperation. Piantedosi highlighted Qatar’s “capacity for dialogue and activism” as essential for building a regional strategy to manage migration flows.

As part of ongoing bilateral cooperation and the joint declaration signed last October by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Piantedosi also signed a security agreement covering the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. The deal will allow Qatari security personnel to support Italy in maintaining public order during the Games, building on the successful collaboration established during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Doha.

“The agreement signed today, our police cooperation, and our joint efforts in managing migration flows strengthen our partnership, making it solid and long-lasting,” Piantedosi concluded.

ROME (ITALPRESS) – “I want to sincerely thank everyone who has shown me support during this difficult time. It wasn’t the debut I had dreamed of, but I will give my all to return to playing in this magical stadium as soon as possible.” This was Giovanni Leoni’s post on social media. The Italian defender, in his first outing for Liverpool, was forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher about fifteen minutes before the final whistle of the League Cup match against Southampton.

NEW YORK (ITALPRESS/MNA) – On the sidelines of the ECAM Summit in New York, GKSD President and GSD (Gruppo San Donato) Vice President Kamel Ghribi held a bilateral meeting with Burkina Faso’s Prime Minister, Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo. The talks were described as highly constructive, focusing on cooperation in healthcare, infrastructure development, and youth empowerment.

Both leaders underscored the limitations of past approaches that have hindered prosperity, calling instead for a new vision based on equality in partnerships, mutual respect, and shared objectives. Particular emphasis was placed on the role of young people, recognized as the driving force behind sustainable progress.

“Now is the time to look boldly to the future, with concrete and successful projects in Burkina Faso,” Ghribi said at the conclusion of the meeting. “Through ECAM, together with GKSD, we will provide technical expertise and training across key sectors. But above all, we must invest in young people, who represent the true foundation of prosperity. Without real opportunities for the new generations, no social or economic progress can take root.”

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – A year later, Aston Villa and Bologna meet again. No longer in the Champions League, but in the Europa League. In diametrically opposed situations. Bologna, with six points from four league games, are enjoying a good run of form; Aston Villa appear to be in a deep crisis, especially at a corporate level, with three points from five games, and sporting director Monchi seems determined to leave the club after several disagreements with manager Unai Emery.

On the pitch, the Spanish manager is expected to use the same 4-2-3-1 formation as Italiano, aiming to improve his scoring potential, given that he has only scored twice in the league. Emery is missing the two Belgian midfielders, Tielemans and Onana. “We’re facing Bologna,” he said, “a very strong team. Last year they played in the Champions League against us. We won here, but it was a difficult match. They have the same coach, most of the same players, and a clear, aggressive style of play, with plenty of one-on-ones. It will be a difficult match.”

From opponents to ambitions, because to recover from problems you still need to look ahead with conviction: “Our goal,” Emery continued, “is to try to be protagonists in this competition. Winning is difficult, but experiencing the journey as protagonists is truly exciting”.

NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The Head of Government of Morocco, Aziz Akhannouch, declared that the Autonomy Plan under Moroccan sovereignty constitutes the only realistic and lasting solution to the regional dispute over the Sahara.

Speaking at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Akhannouch highlighted the international momentum in support of the Autonomy Plan and Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. The Prime Minister recalled that a broad majority of the international community views the Moroccan proposal as the sole pragmatic and credible basis for definitively resolving the dispute.

This support, he stated, confirms that it is time to turn the page on what he described as an “artificial conflict,” in full respect of national sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Kingdom. He further drew attention to the socio-economic transformation underway in the Saharan provinces, driven by the new development model and Atlantic initiatives launched by the Moroccan Sovereign. These regions, he emphasized, are emerging as a strategic platform in the service of peace, security, and co-development.
Finally, the Head of Government reiterated Morocco’s full support for the efforts of the United Nations Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy to achieve a definitive settlement of the Sahara dispute.

VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The Autism Advisory Council (AAC) has urged caution after US President Donald Trump claimed doctors will soon be advised against prescribing Tylenol, the US brand name for paracetamol, over alleged links to autism.

Trump’s statement was swiftly disputed by medical experts, health officials and doctors, who said there is no clear evidence connecting paracetamol use during pregnancy to autism.

In Malta, the AAC noted that while studies have raised questions, none prove a direct causal link. They stressed that the fact some women used paracetamol in pregnancy and later had children with autism does not establish causation without consistent data.

The council cited a Harvard/Mount Sinai review of 46 studies, where only 27 showed “some kind of association.” Researchers concluded the results were too inconsistent to draw conclusions, with the lead author comparing the correlation to ice cream sales and crime rates rising together in summer.

The AAC also reminded that the European Medicines Agency has not changed its official guidance on paracetamol use during pregnancy.

Presenting unproven theories as fact is “unprofessional and unfair,” the AAC said, warning such claims could burden mothers with unnecessary guilt.

The council also addressed ongoing discussions about leucovorin, a supplement currently restricted to chemotherapy patients in Malta. While some research suggests it may improve speech in minimally verbal children with autism, the AAC said findings remain “early and anecdotal.”
