Trump suspends bombings on Iran for two weeks if Tehran opens the Hormuz Strait.
The episode begins with breaking news: Donald Trump has agreed to suspend bombings on Iran for two weeks, conditional on Iran allowing the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Hormuz Strait. The first round of USA-Iran negotiations is scheduled for the following Friday in Islamabad. Ryanair announces that fuel suppliers can guarantee supplies only until mid-May, hinting at potential summer fare increases due to doubled fuel prices in March. The Artemis II mission is highlighted, with astronauts leaving lunar gravity to return to Earth, landing scheduled off San Diego on April 10. The hosts, Simone Bacchetta and Federica Priori, then introduce the day's press review, starting with national headlines focusing on Iran-Trump tensions, described as 'the days of terror' in one newspaper. La Repubblica's front page reports Trump threatening to erase Iranian civilization, with the Pope condemning it as an unacceptable threat. Other newspapers like Il Foglio and Avvenire cover similar themes, including civil wars in Tehran and Israel-US raids. Economic news includes the EU's stance on stability pacts and measures against car energy, plus PNRR construction deadlines and tourism regulations in regions like Apulia. Local pages from provinces like Cremona, Brescia, and Bergamo feature crime stories, such as a 20-year-old Egyptian killed in Crema and a Rolex theft in Piacenza. The review also covers cultural items, like Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep on Vogue's cover, and ends with updates from Verona's arena and Vinitaly.
