The episode opens with coverage of US-Russia talks in Moscow, noting that American envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner faced hours of waiting before meeting Putin. Russian sources indicate no compromise was found on Donbass or Ukrainian military limitations. Putin delivers a direct warning to Europe, stating they have no peace agenda and are only trying to fight Russia. He adds that if Europe starts a war, Russia will be ready immediately and it won't be containable like Ukraine. The episode shifts to a major EU corruption scandal involving three Italians: former High Representative Federica Mogherini, Ambassador Stefano Sannino, and Cesare Zegretti of the College of Europe. They are investigated for alleged fraud and corruption related to a €1 million contract for a diplomatic academy training program. Investigators suspect privileged information about selection criteria was shared before official publication. The episode covers Italy's economic news, reporting a record employment rate of 62.7% with 24.2 million workers, the highest since 2004. Unemployment has fallen to 6%. The PNRR recovery plan is credited with contributing to job growth, with estimates of 800,000 additional employees by 2029. Infrastructure Minister Matteo Salvini's building code reform is highlighted, aiming to simplify regularization of historical building abuses since 1967. The episode includes a segment on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, featuring an article by Beatrice Maria Viograndis about her experience with disability and the importance of curiosity over avoidance. Coverage of Israel describes the country's memorialization of the October 7, 2023 attacks, with survivors and officials emphasizing the need to eliminate Hamas. The EU corruption scandal receives additional analysis, noting that Russia and Hungary have seized on it to criticize European institutions. Russian spokesperson Maria Zakharova implies EU corruption while funding Ukraine, and Hungarian officials mock Brussels as a 'police series.' The episode concludes by directing listeners to ANSA's website for updates.
