13.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Leo XIV Underwent Lung Surgery
⌨

Leo XIV entered Gemelli at midday for removal of the lung nodule announced Sunday, with audiences suspended until 20 October. Afternoon coverage tracked the operation, including prayer in the hospital chapel, until the Vatican announced a positive outcome. A later bulletin specified a 90-minute intervention removing a malignant pulmonary adenocarcinoma and the lower right lobe.

Giorgetti presented the public finance document to a near-empty Chamber, seeking a budget deviation and warning of clouds ahead. Draft manoeuvre measures circulated of broader 33% Irpef, youth flat tax and 5% levy on long rentals, later described as at risk for lack of coverage, as Meloni pressed Brussels for energy flexibility.

On Ukraine, Trump's claimed energy truce unraveled into mutual violation claims amid strikes on Kharkiv and Kyiv, Bulgarian ships hit in the Black Sea and France's seizure of a Russian shadow tanker, with NATO saying forces were ready if attacked.

Il World Economic Outlook registra livelli di deficit nelle economie avanzate analoghi agli anni del Covid. A sorreggere la crescita "il riorientamento degli approvvigionamenti energetici" e "il boom degli investimenti per l'AI", ma "le scorte energetiche si stanno assottigliando" e "ulteriori shock geopolitici possono ripercuotersi ancora sui prezzi e interruzioni delle forniture". In più l'alto debito limita gli spazi di manovra fiscale e le banche centrali hanno le mani legate. Rischi dal forte aumento dei rendimenti dei titoli di Stato. Rivisto al rialzo il Pil italiano: +0,8% nel 2026

Il lungomare è stato ripulito, gli ultimi migranti trasferiti, in occasione della visita nell'exclave spagnola di Re Felipe con la Regina Letizia. L'ultima volta di un sovrano, nel 2007, si aprì una crisi diplomatica con il Marocco. Stavolta è ancora più delicata, a tre settimane dalle elezioni, con l'immigrazione tema chiave della partita politica. Ma anche Re Mohammed VI del Marocco si è fatto sentire, proponendo un nuovo patto di cooperazione alla Spagna

Il governo Merz ha fermato la vendita di Zippel, società logistica, al colosso statale Cosco nel principale porto tedesco, segnale del ripensamento della presenza cinese nelle infrastrutture strategiche. Pechino ha infatti esteso la propria presenza a oltre 30 porti europei, a partire dal Pireo, dove controlla l’autorità portuale e un terminal al 100%: una cessione agevolata proprio da Berlino durante la crisi greca

Il governo di Sofia convoca l'ambasciatrice russa, cresce la pressione in vista delle elezioni del 25 ottobre. Ue e Nato si mobilitano: "È un ulteriore teatro di escalation della guerra russa in Ucraina". Un effetto dei recenti raid è la netta riduzione del traffico marittimo, a danno del grano ucraino. Il ministro polacco Sikorski: "L'Alleanza Atlantica definisca la reazione nel caso di vittime di un attacco ibrido russo"

Alla Ragioneria dello Stato si fanno i calcoli ma i margini si fanno ogni giorno più ristretti. Così l'unica misura che era stata data dal governo quasi per certa rischia di uscire dalla manovra: l'estensione dell'aliquota al 33% fino ai 60mila euro di reddito. Del resto, solo per confermare i vari bonus e decontribuzioni in scadenza servirebbero oltre 7 miliardi di euro

La revoca delle sanzioni sul diesel russo è solo l’ultima di una lunga serie di esenzioni concesse dagli Stati Uniti alla Russia. Nell’ultimo anno, il Tesoro americano ha emesso o aggiornato almeno 11 licenze legate a Mosca solo sull’energia. Le deroghe vanno ben oltre, fino a cereali, fertilizzanti e medicinali, uranio e diamanti. Ma l'Ue non può dare lezioni
