AI & Policing: Italy’s draft AI decree would let police turn faces into biometric data in “sensitive” public areas like squares, stations and streets during events, storing it for seven days unless a crime is linked—while the data watchdog says it clashes with the EU AI Act. Heatwave Pressure: A Europe-wide heatwave is squeezing Italy too, with forecasts of 37C+ and up to 39-40C inland, worsening drought and disrupting transport, power and agriculture. Food Economy Under Stress: Extreme heat is hitting Italy’s Parmigiano “cheese banks,” where wheels are used as loan collateral, as refrigeration costs rise and milk supply and storage conditions get harder. Sports Spotlight: At the European Championships in Birmingham, Britain’s Romell Glave won the men’s 100m in 10.09, with Italy’s Lamont Jacobs pulling up injured; Italy also struck gold in swimming with Simona Quadarella (800 free) and Nicolo Martinenghi (100 breast). Travel Disruption: Etna’s ash cloud forced flight cancellations and delays to Malta, while Catania’s airport extended its halt for arrivals and departures. Football Move: Juve Stabia signed Italian-Ghanaian midfielder Justin Kumi on loan from Sassuolo until June 2027.
