The day began with reports of Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon and Syria. By mid-morning, attention shifted to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Baker, Hassabis, and Jumper for protein research. The focus then turned to domestic politics as Prime Minister Meloni released a video message denying plans to increase taxes, contradicting earlier statements by Finance Minister Giorgetti about updating cadastral values for those who used the Superbonus. This sparked debate within the ruling coalition and criticism from opposition parties. Meanwhile, international news covered Ukrainian President Zelensky's upcoming visit to Rome and the Pope, as well as the approaching Hurricane Milton in Florida, described as potentially "the storm of the century."
