Welcome to Romadailynews Radiogiornale! This evening, from the editorial office of Studio Giuliano Ferrigno, we start our broadcast in Brussels with urgent news. Former ECB President and Council member Mario Draghi has issued a warning that Europe is already in crisis mode. To increase productivity and preserve the social model in the long term, radical changes are necessary. Draghi presented a report on the future of European competitiveness in Brussels alongside Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The report includes a concise summary of about sixty pages and a more detailed document of over 300 pages. Draghi emphasized the need to abandon the illusion that postponing decisions can sustain public approval. Procrastination only leads to slower growth, and ambitious, sustainable reforms are required to ensure the continuity of our democratic institutions.
In other news, reports have surfaced regarding airstrikes on a scientific research center suspected of developing biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons in Syria. Israeli defense forces have not commented on or claimed these attacks, but the Observatory for Human Rights in the UK has provided information on the ongoing conflict in the country.
Shifting our focus to Italy, a new incident of aggression has occurred at the Foggia Hospital where healthcare workers were assaulted by an individual in a state of agitation. Police intervened to apprehend the perpetrator, following a previous attack on hospital staff. The tragic death of a 22-year-old patient during surgery has also raised concerns about the quality of healthcare in the region.
Lastly, a severe thunderstorm hit Rome overnight, causing flooding and damage to several areas of the city. The Fire Department responded to numerous calls for assistance, clearing fallen trees and debris from roads. Suburbs such as Albano Laziale, Velletri, and Frascati were particularly affected by the storm.
