House of Dracula
I spent a week in front of that damn house. For hours, from early morning until dark background. Every day since that night. Every now and then I thought, during breaks. I tried to slip through the eyes in the house, behind the curtains closed. I tried to understand why '. What had happened. I imagined that scene tragic, shocking. I thought of a woman who returns home with her son, who greets the dogs in the garden and then that opens the door and do not yet know that there is behind 'his daughter with the boyfriend: both with gloves and knives in hand ready to kill them, slaughter them. I think I have to trade, just fantasy. And I also had abundant knowledge by the investigators. Yet I could not, have never been able to "see" all the way to the scene. You know that I often traveled to war and disaster, yet the storiaccia Novi Ligure marked me. He scored all. Do not ask me things that I do not know. Meanwhile, do not know why '.

novi
I believe that today is Saturday of Carnival. To those so-called normal 'day of celebration. But I still find myself in a place where now there is no 'space (I' will) for the party.
Young people in this country that are geographically and 'border crossing, they wonder why' a little girl with the face of an angel can turn into a demon. Eighty stab wounds. Prior to that he adored her brother, then his mother. Young people like her are wondering whether some tablet ('cause he took Erika, everybody knows) can' combine these hallucinatory bust. Friends of Omar, the boyfriend, and they wonder if 'possible, for love of a girl you can really go that far. But it is mainly adults to ask questions. What are our sins? Where did we go wrong in this world if they grow so monsters'? But the tragic event of Novi, the massacre of the house, teaches many other things. The caution, first of all. And you have to take, in fact, our responsibilities'. Too easy to download everything at once on the other, on the other, the desperate people who come from outside. The ferocity has no color.
who follows me, even on television, you know: I've always been cautious from the outset. 'Cause from the beginning I sensed that something was spinning. I was just look for a few seconds in that angel face blonde. In the eyes of the tragedy, the surprise at the pool of blood? Patches'. Returning to the house the morning after Erika had made us the sign with the middle finger of his right hand to the people of Anglo-Saxon meaning: go to hell. We will end up in hell ' her. And they will bring 'behind that boy with his head down like a dog that followed. Together, perhaps, even to those who were already 'organized punitive expeditions against the Albanians. Another party that we are all very sad.

COLOMBIA, ALWAYS IN A LAND WAR
Cartucho is not easy to enter. Much more difficult to get out. We are in the toughest neighborhood in Bogota Colombia in what the police call the day of the great illusion. The last attempt to rid that city of the eastern part of the desperate people who have busy, broken, burned and humiliated. Hours of battle, stones batons. Then yet another surrender of security forces. Two steps from hell is Calle 26, the capital's main artery that bisects the city, as a permanent observatory on Colombia changing.
Lt. Saul Lopez: " Here the violence is rooted, difficult to eradicate. It 's definitely a social problem before the public order. But the country is slowly raising his head, trying together to solve the economic problems that are real drama of Colombia. Certainly it is a war and we want to win, but we can not police themselves do it. "
"El Cartucho" is only one side of Colombia. The face of war: ancient painful, endless. To understand if and when the war ends, here is the story of a journey inside the planet Colombia, a country of glaring contradictions. Insaguinato happy and very rich and very poor, with people very civil and ruthless criminals. A country that is at the crossroads and along with the worldwide symbol of the drug, but where no one takes drugs.
Our journey begins naturally from Bogota, the capital, a megalopolis (six million inhabitants) with skyscrapers and shacks, almost a summary of this two-faced Colombia. The war. Many wars. Before the policy, fought with the obstinacy of a feud. Then the guerrillas and the drug traffickers in particular. Thirty thousand deaths a year. How many deaths. Too many. Poor Colombia, for fifty years in the trenches. A beautiful land where the "violence" is mythical, wild, natural. There are plenty of those among these people, like all South American popular imagination, but a summary of them all and dramatic with the "plomo" or the "plata", ie with lead or with money. As if to say that there is no way out or becomes corrupted or is killed, however the law is that of violence. It 's a day of hard work, even today to the police. Clean ones, which remained after the clean-up. In two years they were hunted almost four, though. All the pay of drug traffickers. It's hot, even if we are over three thousand meters. It is hard to breathe. Even a flight by helicopter. You have to hit from above. The team antinarcos special today is a top field in Santander de Quilichao amapola. This, too, destroyed. It goes on. We must continue to strike, without stopping. The transaction was now cocaine laboratories. There 'dust ready but luckily this never comes to increasing the market for the white death. The thirteen thousand cocaine in the world. A scourge. We
Guacamaya. They arrested all those who work. It is not surprising that much. If you were waiting for him. Like now expect the traffic boss pull them out of prison as soon as possible. The game is this, always. With lead or with money. If you think a game. Those who fight the drug traffickers must be prepared, and hard, as they did. These are new images: a secret training camp of the special teams. The Colombian superpoliziotti 2500, highly trained, well paid. The operation is very expensive: one billion dollars a year, an enormous sum for a country in serious economic crisis. But the government also knows that this is the battle to win.
is anti-narcotics police chief Col. Leonardo Gallego. Figure popular in these parts. The number one enemy of the traffickers, a role that the master loves to show it. A touch of megalomania does not clear, however, excellent results. Col. Leonardo Gallego - anti-narcotics commander, "Of course I'm the enemy of the narcos. Since I manage the team, I arrested a thousand and four hundred. I have reduced the Seventy percent of the crops. And it is only the beginning. We are preparing for the final blow and they know it. One thing is certain. We all organizzaizone disjointed. The large cartels no longer exist, for years. Before the killing of superboss historian, Pablo Escobar, then the capture even those who had replaced the brothers Orrequella. So we destroyed the first then also Cali Medellin. Now there is a series of 'tags', at least a hundred, but definitely aggressive all independent and therefore not strong. We must give place to the Government of Colombia's great will to defeat this scourge that has bloodied and humiliated our country. It 's a heavy commitment, but it is also not clear that Colombia can fight this great battle alone. Here, it is true, but the leaves are produced without the chemical precursors that could never be cocaine. And those are from Europe, the United States, the industrialized countries. Perhaps the fault is all ours .
Orrequella Brothers, the last boss, are confined to the "Performer." Ironic paradox to call one of the worst prisons in the world. It is not easy to explain. To give a sense we say that When an inmate is for the "Modelo" he says, completely without irony: "I'm going to hell." We go we hell. A prison born three thousand prisoners, it is home to almost double. We are still in the prison yard when they arrive other prisoners. As they arrive, they tell us, dozens, every day. There should be no place for some time, but no one refuses. The situation is increasingly hellish. There are also many Italians. Twenty-eight. Some are in a patio, the department of safety. There they go again today because we were-we-say in the direction of two attempts to escape. And do not tell us but what we whisper the detainees: that there were two murders, the usual daily average. A tragic practice, along with robbery and abuse of those in charge, an Italian tells us that prefer not to show up in jail because you know everything and if they know who has spoken ... He tells us that even in the face of safety, all have guns in their pockets and mobile phones, pay millions for parties within the cell and in fact commanded them. So much so that every three months at the "Modelo" change the manager. We insist to go with the camera. Impossible: they do not want. That is, they do not want the boss. But with the direction we come to an agreement: they will give us the pictures. And so here is the documented story of yet another escape attempt. Two nearly completed tunnel leading outside. If you really commanded them, then why can not the evasion? we ask. Because maybe you're better off in here that we meet. Imagine out. But it's just a joke. The day after the escape fails. Run away an entire band, fifteen, under the command of a small boss, Elver Cubillos. An escape finds three dead. Massimiliano
Fodarella is one of twenty-eight Italians imprisoned in Bogota. Former policeman, called by All Max, he is not afraid to speak because we explain the others, he is a man of respect in here. Arrested with four others with twenty kilograms of cocaine, was sentenced to eight years in prison. Talk to declare his innocence. He is not a drug trafficker, swears, though perhaps now will become so. And it is the most disturbing aspect of his story. The next day we visited another prison in Bogota, the female. The Italian held three. One is called Angel and is likely many years in prison. E 'was arrested with Max and prefers silence. The other two want to talk, even if you ask us not to flaunt their faces because at home, in Italy, both have children and are likely to lose them. These then are the stories of Miriam and Linda. Miriam is
Verona, thirty years of a wretched life and unfortunate. Will have to spend another five years in prison. E 'was made with three pounds of cocaine at the airport in Bogota in mid-July, the day before her birthday. He does not deny being a "mule", a drug couriers. She has a son in Italy and another in Colombia.
Linda looks and above the age of a child. Although it is already mom. She too was taken from drugs (almost a pound) airport. He'd wear but has denied any responsibility and is still awaiting trial. Originally from Somalia, has dark skin but she was born and raised in Rome. "You realize that they are a little tan" still manages to joke. When Linda says hello to us, crying because we just did see pictures of her baby, there is a hint of anger: "Call me 55597 , now I'm just a number, like all in here." For all these numbers
sad and desperate, now in the "Buen Pastor" have invented a party. We sing, we dance, strictly between detainees. To our surprise, the answer charge of the rehabilitation program, which is also the daughter of the minister of justice. Patricia Guellard - rehabilitation held: " know it is not easy to give a moment of serenity with these girls so alone and so feel, but we try, we feel that at least for an afternoon to create the illusion of normalcy. Why do not yet know what The real surprise of the festival . We get little to find out. With just the screaming of women prisoners. They organized a show that is unconventional in Colombia outside of these walls dramatic. One male strip. We all are. In the front row is Natalia, wretched life, the last - even in twenty-four arrests of life in New York full of cocaine, a drug couriers known and feared, but above all beautiful, so that for all is now "miss prison."
And here again the thousand faces Colombia, the land of contradictions. A jail where some people partying, and where, as the patio 2, the most hellish of all, girls remain closed as small animals. And 'maybe true but unfortunately the party is certainly true, and sad, this other life, without ever seeing the sun, nor smiling. The drug couriers. In Colombia out tons and tons of drugs, especially cocaine, every day. On ships and small aircraft. Only a small part goes with the "mules", courier: a ton about six hundred. Yet they are always only to be arrested, although the mechanisms are constantly changing, to circumvent the controls. But it is very easy around here to find other "mules", explains the official defense of numerous narcopostini, avv.Plinio Chaparro.
- How does the passage?
" You have to think that poor people here in Colombia are many. And the drug dealers know where to go and who to enlist courier. It 's a negotiation: they offer money to bring drugs and many are unhappy that accept .
- How much is a kilo of cocaine for a courier?
"A kilo of cocaine worth five thousand U.S. dollars .
- There are more and more 'foreigners among the couriers.
" Yes, many. Italians, Spaniards, many Europeans .
- And why foreigners?
" Why Colombians are less controlled. It 's easier .
One of the most difficult battle is against the guerrillas. What is new is that there is a pact between the guerrillas and drug traffickers. Indeed, new facts are two. The news is also that Colombia, as the central clearing of the drug, has now transformed into a manufacturing country, replacing destroyed Peru and Bolivia from the hard hitting, constant of the United Nations. The market then moved further north, in Mexico. But the offensive of the civil society continues. Pino Arlacchi, director of the UN anti-drug program, came to Colombia to groped agreement. He was to meet the leader of the FARC, the elusive Marulanda (here he is in a very rare image), when the killing of three U.S. citizens on the border with Venezuela, has blocked everything. Because the guerrillas themselves have admitted responsibility for the massacre. You can not deal with those who kill. But surely we must go forward.
Who are the rebels? They are responsible, in large part, of the blood in Colombia. Impressive figures. Each year, thirty thousand murders and 2,500 kidnappings for extortion purposes. Affected mainly foreigners, are able to pay. Average time of a seizure, six or seven months. The redemption usually around three hundred million dollars. Currently the hostages in the hands the guerrillas are nineteen. Three Italians. We collect the story of Count Danilo. Almost fifty years, the Trentino, the restaurant entrepreneur, was kidnapped Count one summer night two years ago in a cottage in the department of Caldas and issued for a hundred million pounds in seven months in captivity. Exactly 219 days past the Andes with the ninth against the FARC. The guerrillas are about thirty thousand. The military in the mid FARC (Colombian armed forces) divided into seventy divisions. Count Danilo in those months on the mountain has lost thirty pounds. Experience dramatic and heavy which helps to understand who the guerrillas, bandits, campesinos. "All children . I also taught to read and write ." Danilo Matters is not escaped, as did others. It is not even a lady ran courage that we encounter in Bogotá. The objectives of the narcos are police officers, judges and journalists often complain that the collusion. The largest newspaper in the capital, "El Espectador" has long been under fire: six editors were killed and also the director Guillermo Cano, the first to attack Escobar. We meet his widow. Anamaria Cano: " My life today is very upset. How do you think of risking his life for an article or a title. I'm not brave, but something must be done." Anamaria Cano is actually very strong because he has the courage of modesty. Almost in tears, in secret, confesses a desire. To meet for once the criminals. To ask why. The reason for all this violence and hate. To ask how do they sleep. Especially if one day cease to ask ".
To understand why some of these, visit Medellin, the city of Pablo Escobar, an illiterate thief who managed to bike, until he was killed, desperate to make small trades in a universal dishonesty. Medellin, small capital sitting on the equator to nearly two meters high, you see that has grown too fast. In half a century of thirty thousand to two million people. The north is south and south to North: naughty words in this land development was born in South and there are the rich. Indeed, because super-rich who make money on coke makes it a lot. Here in "El Poblado", the residential area, it is said that there is a brick that does not exude a white powder. And woe to those who speak ill of "doctor Pablo" on which legends flourish as if he were a hero and some people swear that in reality is still vivo.Certamente his ghost still lingers on Aranquez district in the north of Medellin , the undisputed kingdom of sicarios. All young, up to sixteen years. They kill for twenty dollars and after each murder go to church to put a candle. There are guys that have more than one hundred twenty murders on his conscience. They say that Pablo Escobar was sold from those of Cali, the third city \u200b\u200bof Colombia, tropical climate and atmosphere, dominated by brothers Gilberto and Miguel Orrequella. This was their stronghold in the "Ciudad Jardin, the garden city. They too have paid for: a turncoat has betrayed them in exchange for leniency in court in Miami. But perhaps still rule, from prison in Bogota. One evening in Cali know Francisco, a former great jazz musician. Since the bazuco devastated the brain plays with the kids on the street. The bazuco is a deadly drug because it is very poor, desperate for: the remains of cocaine, marijuana remains, even cement dust. We are the "barrjo of invasion", literally the busy neighborhood, a slum where a census is impossible but where it is assumed they live five hundred thousand people. Living is a way of speaking. Even if no waiver to the "Buglia", the din at the party. Just pass a bridge and you find yourself in hell, and yet the people here pretending to live a normal life. Among the five barracks find discos and even two "amablados, two brothels. But a church with a courageous missionary, Father Mario. Here it is, therefore, Colombia. The land of emeralds and orchids could be rich and happy, and instead continues to cry.
Our journey ends near the Magdalena, a river as large as the Danube, full of stories and legends that Simon Bolivar chose for their last journey. And among the many stories that are told in these parts there are many who speak of hope. There does not seem fair to account. And our trip seems really only concluded between these young and beautiful faces that light up the future of Colombia. As if to say that this country does not resign. And he wants to live.

ONCE UPON A TIME The ALBANIA Albania
To understand the need to come here, where he started in the north. Lake Skutari. That and 'Montenegro, near where he continues to traffic from a felon. They call it white meat.

The last girl and save 'Danica Pavicevic, Kosovo, 16, face and body as a child. They snatched last month to smugglers. Last year alone they saved twenty-six girls, mostly from Moldova and Romania, three this year. On the boat passes through, not only women and children. Drugs, first of all. "But unlike . Now it 'Albania, which produces - says the head of border police, Ardian Zaganjori -, zone Theth arrives in Italy and Montenegro . "But what is happening with illegal immigrants? E 'over traffic?, We ask. " No, only suspended. There 's an ongoing struggle between the clans. Who's in charge and 'always the Turkish mafia. On the one hand pushes land, Slovenia, to pass the illegal immigrants in Italy. On the other there 's always the way to the sea but not most' from Vlora, but more 'north of Durres. Let's say that now wins the passage by land. "
We pass a house. The cop tells us: " Li 'in there' a family segregated for years. No one leaves. fear of retaliation. " The law of the Kanun.
Descending towards Tirana. The capital seems another. Beautiful, new, mostly colored. Never been as' colored, the city 'gray is almost forgotten. The problems are not over, but only set aside, hidden in a nightlife capital of Europe. The face and 'different, but the stories always the same and always dramatic. Meanwhile, we tell you to Aldine, nineteen years. Kidnapped at the center of Tirana, sold for three million pounds, carried on the boat in Vlore, Lecce and then landed in the life of a prostitute for a year and a half in Milan. "On a day also earned two million. You know, fourteen hours of work .. ".

Nerf Brithday Supplies



IN BOLIVIA, ON THE TRAIL OF "THAT"
che
Vallegrande - "Papa Cansado," Pope 'and' tired. Curious code to announce the capture of enemy number one, that devil of a "Che." The announcement on the radio, on October 8, twenty-eight years ago, was given to the then Colonel Mario Vargas Solis by a Cuban, a big man, tall and big that everyone knew the CIA as "Max Gomez." Officially, the catch was credited to the General Gary Prado Salmon, battalion commander, but everyone knew that the substance was Cuban. It was he to get to Guevara. A few days earlier he had taken three guerrillas in the mountains, he could be told the hiding place of the head and then killed them, all three in cold blood.
Now "Max Gomez," which in reality 'is called Felix Ismael Rodriguez, lives north of Miami. Protagonist of the Iran-contra, he worked for three decades with the CIA, especially in Latin America but also in Vietnam. In his large house in Florida showed off many of those who pompously called "war trophies". Del "Che" preserves think about it, the ash from the pipe of the guerrilla shortly before his death. The last smoked. The ash is in a hole ' carved into the handle. Shows it to everyone. Deny the wrist instead of "Che" just killed ripping 'the clock. And yet that extreme violence was a witness. A primary school teacher, the only one who could '- in addition to the military - to see and talk to the "Che" in the last hours of his life. Then he taught school in La Higuera where he led the guerrilla arrested. Now living in Vallegrande, where we traced.
is called Julia Cortez. Although it is now close to fifty years still has that beauty that is said, conquered 'Che. She has a son. His name and 'Ernesto, just as "my commander" means the name is still so'. When he gets excited talking about. Remember: "It was noon, October 9, 1967. There was much confusion. I turned to the school. I sent the kids home. I was intrigued. Everybody said it was a devil, however, seemed so young, despite his beard, his face was almost a boy. He stared at me. At one point my name, 'asked me to join him. But we were not alone, there were soldiers. We managed to stay only a minute the next day, before they kill him. Her voice was sweet and penetrating. I do not trust 'no secret, we never spoke about politics. Just think, had a knife hidden in his pants, no one had noticed, were all euphoric capture, neither shall they searched. A silver knife. He said, look at him, and 'the only precious thing and I 'remains. And gave it to me '. Then he ate a bowl of soup. It 'nice to eat together, smiled. I asked the CIA when they were going to kill him and I look 'strange' cause you ask? 'Cause the radio and said' already 'been killed. She did not answer. A few minutes later killed him really but I could not see who shot '. "Officially, the performer was the sergeant Mario Teran M-12 rifle. But there' was the Cuban who says that the CIA and others, read it soon, accrediting new versions. schoolteacher Julia Cortez From the last memory, almost a will. " Before the shots, behind the door, I heard the captain shouting: 'Tell Fidel that soon the revolution will triumph' and that ' America Latin America will be able to 'live finally happy'. "
To reach Vallegrande need to cross the Sierra in Bolivia. Inextricable own land warfare. The roads are impossible. From Santa Cruz, it takes seven hours by car to climb up to two thousand meters. Vallegrande has six thousand inhabitants, but it seems little more 'than a village. houses available, one floor, inhabited by Indians hard, tough. We turn to the dusty streets invaded by stalls and ask for "Che." These parties have no doubts: " that 'and' buried here, on either side of the airport.
When we discover that this is just a track. I mean 'a fallow field that was used as a military runway. Not only was also the headquarters of the army. For those days there were hundreds of holes: there are now. We accompany the police commander of Vela Luka, a guy who just complains, "You know how many we ? Five policemen around, me and four others. How can we control a territory so 'large?" suddenly shouts: "They stole Che." Exaggerates, of course, but in fact there are signs of recent excavations. Someone has tried a search at night. Lieutenant Rodimiro Guzman takes issue with two of the army came from the capital. Do the names but please do not put me into trouble. A few days after the mission becomes official: President de Lozada sent twenty-eight soldiers from La Paz to dig among the mimosa trees. They dig for days. There 's also a supertestimone, an army sergeant that night - they say - maneuvering the excavator. But you hide it carefully. Send only to say that he is afraid, 'cause all those who "knew the secret are over evil, strange deaths."
It 's the curse of "Che"?
"But what curse," Bloss protest Erich, a German agricultural engineer who has been here since '66. Is to look around at the airport. Vizio old: he was taking the first photo of the corpse to the hospital. " I was a civilian but I managed to slip on. There are many shadows on this story - trusts -. For example, General Salinas, one that has reopened the case? His name 'was bound for years at most drug trafficker Bolivia, Roberto Suarez. We should know more 'about certain characters. Something is wrong:. But he thinks it's all a hype? " No, quite the contrary. Maybe we could finally know some truth '.
Mysteries. There are many. One concerns Tania, the companion of the last adventure of the "Che." It should be buried in the cemetery, but turn strange voices. The cemetery and 'behind a ruined wall, a few meters from the runway and the excavations. The Guardian and 'Domingo Ocampo Vidaurre. We ask him to Tania. Or heroine, as they whisper, a spy in Moscow? Tania Tamara Bunker was, but within 'in Bolivia as Laura Bauer. It 'true that' buried here? "I do not know - we respond to surprise -. on what should be its grave, 'the name disappeared during a night of storm. Some say that his body 'was taken away. I'm only here for ten years, I do not know the truth '. And no one allows me to discover it. Besides, who cares now? It is not 'no one ever came looking for her, never .
Back in the village. We find a man, a former guerrilla. " I fought with Che, although I've never known " he admits. And' safe " The body is here, I have told all my mates. And saw him with his head, it 's never been beheaded. Perhaps also the hands. As Dr. Martin made me realize that run 'operation, the cut was only indexes for the prints to be given to the Americans. Unfortunately, Dr. Martin can not 'more' talk. E 'dead .
try the Senor de Malta hospital. Behind the new structure, there' still the old hospital. We cross a courtyard. The doctor who gives us a guide shows us where the bodies were taken to the guerrillas killed. He 'convinced that they were seven. " Guevara and six others. I do not understand 'cause everybody says five. They remained in the yard and instead of Guevara was taken to the laundry .
The old laundry room still exists, is a few meters. E 'became a place of worship. We find graffiti on the walls and peeling yellow. The writing more' frequent and also obvious stresses that "El Che living. "A few signatures, the inscriptions are almost all anonymous," Seguiremos adelante, seras our estrella "(we'll follow you, you will be our star)," Asasinato, you seguimos camino "," El Che esta sus ideas with this. "And the most 'beautiful' What: eres de los muertos que nunca mueren "(We are the dead who do not die).
Remember that picture? The body of Che on the stretcher, stripped to the waist, with eyes open. After he shot these images (by the operator was a mythical Hermes, who still works in Mexico), the corpse was given to two nurses who washed him, preparing him for burial. We have found one of those two nurses. Her name is Susana Osinaga. Abita more in Vallegrande. It 's not yet old, although a frezza through all the white hair.
" that night. I remember very well. It was three. And we were young. Che had a bullet hole in the right temple and another to the heart. The soldiers who were near us told us that the shooting was all a lie. Che had been killed with a gun by Colonel Zenteno. An act of rage because 'Guevara had spat in his face. When and' arrived, the officers made us leave all the other patients think of him. we have taken pants, everything. Curious, she had three pairs of socks, it was cold in the mountains. We washed and then we put a new pajamas. Those white eyes and open them I have inside, looking like watching us. And that beard kinky. It was beautiful, like a Christ. I have also said that he had betrayed a country because 'the guerrillas stole the chickens. But the people loved him, and knew how many people 'come this evening .
And where is he now? " do not know. At dawn they came to pick him up. When I was left in one piece. I do not know where they took .
Gia ', "from which goes to estar el pobre What?", Where' the poor man? Asks us-and ask-Mayor Hoover Cabrera. But if it 's true that and 'buried in his country, wants to stay here. " of Guevara's daughter, Aleida, reminded that his father often said that the guerrillas have to rest them' where they are killed. And we are ready to build a mausoleum. I also want that on 8 October of each year is commemorated his death .
A project only seems noble and romantic. The mayor has already 'in fact received a substantial offer to exploit the tourist potential discovery. The idea 'organization in Milan, the "Coop" (for "Italian cooperation), which has been operating for years in Cochabamba. Barduagni Paul, and that' the coordinator, has clear ideas: the project can 'go ahead even if the Guevara's body is not found. It 's ready in fact a general promotion of the area. The backbone should be "Ruta del Che", a journey of Che which affected this route. 1) Camp Central Nancahuazu where Guevara's fund 'its guerrilla war formally on November 7, 1966, 2) Samaipata, the first village occupied, to say the first win, 3) Vado del Yeso, the first crushing defeat, 4) Quebrada del Yuro, the canyon where Che was captured, 5) La Higuera, where he was detained and killed, 6) Vallegrande hospital, where the corpse was shown to the world; 7) where (maybe) and Che 'buried.
And if the research went to the airport empty? No problem, "rue" stops at the point you are. Also because 'the mayor Cabrera is not' willing to give up the offer: six hundred thousand U.S. dollars, nearly a billion dollars. It 's true, "What pobre, poor man.

"rubbish CONNECTION: THE CROSSROADS OF Pitelli
They always called the gulf of poets. Sung by Shelley and loved by Wagner. Since the hill overlooking the harbor and 'was marred, scarred in La Spezia, with great bitterness, they call it now the Gulf of poisons. The poisons are buried in landfill Pitelli the center of an investigation that leads far, the general dishonesty of toxic wastes. Rubbish connection, trillions, poisons and mysteries. As a small cloud of yellow and you do not 'yet been able to establish their origins. One day he hit four technicians who ended up in hospital, intoxicated. Others who worked here have died in past years. Definitely a laborer and a truck driver accidentally hit the gas. But it also speaks of another dead, perhaps buried in the same landfill. How much fear and many mysteries. Among the concerns most 'alarming' that poisons Bloodhounds of Seveso are buried here as well as acne Cengio, often referred to in the intercepts between technical Pitelli committed to what it 'shown on page. 54 minutes of the proceedings. A few pages before you even speak of Romanian products, confirming the confidence that we have collected from the investigators. Among the drums found there would in fact written in "various European languages, even in Cyrillic. So the nightmare of nuclear power. What hides the Hill shame it established 'the panel of experts appointed by the court of Liguria. Certainly Pitelli, the landfill of shame, are already 'been found more' than a hundred toxic barrels. There 's everything, even a paint used exclusively for military use, to obscure the radar. But there 'especially (he already' established a laboratory in Zurich) as confirmed by the dioxins, the magistrate of Asti who opened the investigation, Luciano Tarditi, and the chief of the Forest investigators carrying out the investigation, Francesco Dellana of Forest Rangers in Brescia. Criminal association aimed at environmental disaster. Here is the request of trial that led to thirteen arrests and forty suspects. There are leaders USL, geology of the region, civilian officials of the Ministry of Defence and two admirals. Parallel administrative investigation, conducted by Massimo pm break Scirocco, simultaneously reconstructs the story in 113 pages of concessions illegitimate, forged signatures, missing and abused not pursued projects related to Pitelli. Accused Region and the Municipality, to study the positions of almost all the mayors that have followed since 1979 in La Spezia. The documents are then passed on the desk of the magistrate Silvio Franz break that has had a legacy 'Asti from the investigation.
According to the minutes of eavesdropping, prosecutors suggest the presence of some sort of business committee that would handle all traffic offenses. Inside there would wheeler, members of the Camorra and the mafia, through intersections and sophisticated corporate bonds, as reported by the lawyer Roberto Lemma Legambiente. The agenda of one of the suspects also include the name and telephone numbers of a character certainly disturbing because 'in the middle of a thousand business, "Beans" Pacini Battaglia. Were found in the study of Roman Trunfio, already 'heard from the pool by the Clean Hands in the illegal financing of political parties and a close associate of Horace Duvia, break the farmer considered the king of landfills, rose to national headlines because' one day fetch ', through his daughter, from a bank outside the office and three billion eight hundred million in cash, a sign of great liquidity'. A heritage that the investigating judge Diana Brusac 'seized' cause I suspect the result of activities' illegal, a decision upheld by the Court of Review. Orazio Duvia, now in the wild 'after a month in prison, has maintained for years the landfill Pitelli. A
Pitelli, pending the results of the analysis, the sites are blocked for now. The landfill is not open 'more,' cause the regional council has decided to close the end of March. But while in the country, people are afraid and gets angry with everybody. A fear that slips in Carob, alleys Pitelli, two thousand inhabitants, once a peaceful place without problems. And if there is 'a country that calls for the closure of a landfill, there is' another calling with strength not to open it. From one year the people of Batesville, in Tuscany, but only thirty kilometers from La Spezia, struggling with a garrison and a barrage of complaints against the opening of Ca 'Gaggino, behind the filing of the Navy and a deposit of NATO. They have already 'left exposed to four prosecutors, including the military. Another story, which we are concerned because 'there is something that the league potentially Pitelli. Among the dozens of companies' which directly or indirectly lead to the group Duvia there are some distant, in the south, but others nearby. Three Aulla where they own the contract for waste collection. Not only that. In '95, according to the committee, a company of which he was a member of suspects for the landfill would buy Pitelli the land for the landfill Tuffolo, in those days preferred to Ca 'Gaggino. We avoid the complicated technical disputes. Overcoming the controversy the deputy in charge of the province of Massa Carrara and presents us with the project, certainly cutting-edge of Ca 'Gaggino, and reassures the public officially on the use of the landfill, according to the unanimous decision' by Provincial Council and accepted by the conference of mayors of Lunigiana.
Back where we started. From the gulf of the poets and the great fear. Italian prosecutors are at least ten, coordinated by the National Anti-Mafia Prosecutor, who are investigating this area, the coast in the middle 'between Liguria and Tuscany, in view of a real crossroads of toxic waste to countries for their cooperation. A note found by his parents to the notebook Ilaria Alpi was written "six ships." Vessels from poisons. The day of the TG3, before she was killed, the respondents' the sultan of Bosaso that handles that part of the Somali coast one of the twelve identified as preferential sites for the dumping of toxic waste from the company Comerio. Great mysteries interwoven with the arms trade that often follows the same pathways. In the minutes of the trial of Duvia there 'interception of a phone call between two technical Pitelli, Roberto and Luca Galli Cozzani, which by the triangulation of mentioning the Oto Melara. But most of all the acts there is evidence of a systematic and illegal trafficking of wastes in statements of three texts defined for safety, only A. B and C. Systematic traffic. In January 1990, a master of the English merchant marine submit 'Greenpeace in the harbor of La Spezia was 7 now known worldwide as "The Toxic berth" poisons of the pier, point load of toxic waste headed for Africa . In a dossier presented by Legambiente are reconstructed in a public assembly routes the twenty-three 'poisons' ships disappeared in the Mediterranean. Many have passed away or even games from La Spezia. The unfortunate history of the poisons began exactly ten years ago, in June 1987 when La Spezia are shipped 200,000 tons of toxic waste, Equatorial Guinea destination. At the same time, the game Rigel from nearby Marina di Carrara for the last voyage, sank Sept. 21 off the coast bell. Twenty people were prosecuted for intentional sinking. And then the Radhošť, the Latvia and the "Jolly Nero, all games between January and October 1988 for Africa.
On 18 January 1989 Beirut docks directly from the "Red Jolly" with a cargo of 4,000 barrels. For four and a half years and the toxic material 'stored in La Spezia and then again on July 9, 1993. Lieutenant Commander Natale De Grazia, 39, a technical consultant to the Reggio pm Francesco Blacks, Part 12 December last year with a mandate to question its crew of Jolly Red but did not arrive in La Spezia 'ever. The officer was taken ill during the trip. The autopsy, performed one week after the death of and behind presion Magistrat does not confirm the hypothesis of the infarct. On 5 March 1994 from Lebanon arrive in La Spezia, the "Jolly Rubino" with ferrous material from the former Soviet Union, with destination South Africa. In eight containers and 'measured for radioactivity' of 600 bequerels. Sixty of those toxic barrels are then in Austria after transit through South Africa. On 21 October 1995 makes brief stop in La Spezia Koraline the first in Algiers and Marseilles. Starts November 5 with 285 containers. E 'last journey. On the morning of November 7 sinks between Trapani and Ustica for a foul. In containers also uranium 238. On 9 December 1995 the Russian ship "Vjacheslav Shishkov" docks from from Tunisia. Again on 12 after having landed containers where they found traces of cesium-137, highly radioactive material.
The story is not 'over. Only a month ago, the officers discovered the La Spezia port traffuco with a large third world countries to "Algofrene 12, a gas linked to UN-ting 'cause as one of the leading killer of ozone.
The main question that has to resolve the investigation and ': the landfill Pitelli was a goal or just a step or even the departure of containers with toxic waste? Certainly this beautiful bay or from ports of the nearby Tuscan coast games are almost all so-called vessels of poisons.

chernobyl
CHERNOBYL, TRAVEL Inferno
sixteen years have passed since the Chernobyl disaster. Among the many reports, too difficult, that I have accomplished in recent years, the journey into the center of the disaster has certainly changed me. A Chernobyl
've been there twice. In 1991, five years after the catastrophe, and in 1996, for ten years. Here is the text of the service for the weekly TV7. To reflect.


11 October at 20.20. New alarm at the Chernobyl atomic station. A short circuit causes an explosion at reactor No. 2 of the turbogenerator. Fortunately, you do not repeat the apocalypse of five years ago but the new Fear convinces the President of Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk, the committee responsible for the moral and political disaster, to take a historic decision. Close Chernobyl. The process will begin 'in January, but scientists say it will take at least ten or fifteen years to consider actually dead hell in the world. But no one has yet attempted to stop a nuclear power plant.

Chernobyl in Russian means "plants that grow in the swamp." Once the area was used to hide from the Mongols and Tartars. Now the enemy and 'more' sneaky 'cause invisible. The territory 'was divided into four zones that correspond to different levels of contamination. A regular visitor, surpassing many controls, ' extending until the river Zdvizh, that 'at number two. Beyond ', where the radiation rate and' fifty times higher than normal, and 'absolutely forbidden to enter. We manage to pass. But you have to leave your car and get on a minibus station. And to respect certain rules. Especially not to exceed five hours of permament. "It would be very dangerous," we say "'cause the radioactive dust would be time to stop." The journey begins in the apocalypse
Kupovatoe, a village where some older farmers have decided to return, defying death.
"I came back because 'it was impossible to live where they had settled. Three or four families per house. And there was the garden. To think that they put us two days to evacuate. Fear? No, I'm not afraid. I'm old now. "
" Hello, my name is Olga. I'm glad because it 's the first time in my life I see an Italian. "
" No one comes to visit, not even the children. They are afraid. Now I just have to wait for death, here. I hope it arrives soon. "
" If I'm afraid to stay here? No, 'cause my dose now I got it, it will be' what will '. They are criminals. They made us stay here two days before evacuation. E 'already' a miracle that we did not die immediately "
Before leaving, gives us the seeds of his campaign contaminated. We have no courage to refuse them.
When we arrive at Chernobyl and the temperature 'down to minus ten degrees. Freezes. The town that gave its name to the apocalypse did not 'deserted. There are the engineers and workers who still work at the station. " I feel a bit 'weak, nothing more. We do rounds of fifteen days and then run away.'s Salary? Well,' twice the average. I earn almost a thousand rubles a month."
thousand rubles at the exchange rate black, now amount to less than ten dollars. In the distance, beyond that of military cemetery there was another village and 'was destroyed and buried, as a dozen more in the area. So 'as an entire forest. Everything under the ground. Hell is approaching. We enter
in Pripyat, the city 'ghost. "The party of Lenin and 'the strength of the people that leads to the triumph of communism " there' written at the entrance. The City 'and' right next to the station. Fifty thousand people lived here: all employees of the station with their families. The deaths have so far been five thousand. And at least twice are going to die soon.
atmosphere and 'hallucinating. Everything 'as 26 April 86. In a sign of the asylum and the time you 'stop: the panels of the former Soviet Union. How many things have changed in five years. No foreign journalist had so far entered in the city 'forbidden. Valerj, our "stalker", the contact with the area, allows us to film. When we go into a building because we discover '. " This was my home. We were a large family, happy. Every time I go back to my room to play but it 's a music of pain." Among
Pripez and the nuclear power station, next to a greenhouse, there's' what they call the "polygon organic. It 's the area of \u200b\u200btesting, where they were planted the seeds collected in the forest irrimedibilmente contaminated, long dead. They call them the mutant plants. " needles of a pine tree usually grow in pairs, ie 'two at a time. Here are three or four. More directly grow from the trunk. And the trunk, that' the wood, and sometimes 'soft and other times' as hard as that of a beech. Some mutants even pine have a trunk. Scientists have found thirty-two factors mutants. What a crime to nature. "
The nuclear power plant and 'now in two steps. This is the sarcophagus of Chernobyl, a funerary monument to the first nuclear age. Inside, hidden by concrete slabs of lead and which claimed the life of the helicopters that will were thrown, there 'the No. 2 reactor, the apocalypse. Technically and' turned off, but in fact the heart of atoms and 'still active. We arrive in less than two hundred meters from the nightmare of the world. geiger counter crazy.
Some two years ago, and 'even entered the sarcophagus. Technicians of the station, to search for the body of Deputy disappeared at the time of the explosion. For the first time ever We can show you this exceptional and unique document. You do not survive even in bacteria. You guessed lava blocks consisting of uranium, plutonium, waste of all kinds, lead, concrete would be able to scratch even a bazooka. "And 'how to enter the body of the devil and see his heart ," he said. We enter
exceptionally in Central Asia. The heart of hell's them 'at the bottom, behind the partition. We are in the great hall of the turbines. That night and 'exploded a turbine like this one, at that point, he says. We reach the control room. The monitor displays the reactor No 3, the only one with the number that still works.
But which 'happened that night? The last witness and hell 'Serghei Sharshun, shift manager at the time. " That night no one expected the disaster. Also because' is not supposed to happen. There were at least three errors. They came orders wrong. We survivors do not feel lucky. I guilt that no one will 'never erase. My son is sick, my wife is dying. It had to happen. I feel sick of this work but stay' here until the end because it 's my destiny. not only those who hate us has never warned of the risks they ran. "
The trip, made strictly within five hours, and 'finished. When we go down to check us luck again, "Chisti" clean. But out on the night of Chernobyl still feel the dark rales the monster in agony. The nightmare remains.

THE MYSTERY OF THE AREA 51
The U.S. military only recently acknowledged the existence of the base at Groom Dry Lake, more commonly known as Area 51. The base has long been the focus of public opinion because it was deemed involved in numerous incidents of the extraterrestrials. A satellite has photographed and the pictures circulating on the Internet. The military area located in the Nevada desert, where they developed the so-called "black projects" of the Pentagon, does not appear on any map, So there. I visited that area many years ago (October 4, 1995) in anticipation of a lot, the Tg1, the images of a virtually secret area only. Here is the text.

Leaving Las Vegas, perhaps the city 'more' neutral (and more 'false) of the world, before dawn. The journey to Area 51 and 'long and full of pitfalls. You must take at least two hundred kilometers of desert. The problem 'that Area 51 does not officially exist, no card to sign, and therefore must be found. Besides that and say 'very dangerous mistake. Skim military bases and the guards shoot first ask for information. Just outside Las Vegas, we get to the border with more 'big military bases U.S.: e 'the Nellis base. From there they left the aircraft to Kuwait. But it 's here in particular that took place, or maybe you still play, nuclear tests. Not only that. According to a strictly top-secret report 10 December 1964 would be an alien spacecraft landed in the perimeter of the base. An armed detachment commanded by a colonel would come to the ship. Suddenly, a humanoid would emerge from the object of a stocky and powerful beam of light would have paralyzed all the soldiers. The evidence of that meeting ravvicinatissimo would still be here. The tour continues. The territory and 'arid, broken only by the "giosciua'" the desert plants. We head
White Sides Mountain, where it should be Area 51. Meet military. We check the documents. But we can not shoot. We can discover much in the distance the outlines of a basis. We stop what is necessary to document it. Nevada and 'a large surface area, 93 square miles with just two and a half million inhabitants, almost all concrentrati in Las Vegas and Reno and the rest of' desert, almost entirely occupied by military bases.
After the town of Alamo, we finally arrive in 51. Four homes near the mountains, a research center.
"We are in the Nevada desert, 150 miles northwest of Las Vegas. This is' the area 51, an area not marked on maps. Beyond 'of the mountains there' military base more 'secret of the United States.
the early '90s, a physics expert, Bob Lazar, revealed 'that he looked inside the 51 nine alien spacecraft on behalf of the American army. The authorities' immediately contradicted, even denying the very existence of the base. We are now able to prove that this base there, thanks to an extraordinary document, and secret. Here is the base area 51. A great base that occupies an entire valley. The photo and 'was taken by Glenn Campbell, a UFO enthusiast who has collected a dossier on all the material that covers what he calls the mystery of Groom Lake. In these days the 'refugee in New Mexico seem to escape arrest. The base
denied the basis that there is no start 'their activities' in '54. In these hangars, runways and in these in these laboratories and 'born of Lockheed U2 spy plane and the whole series of invisible aircraft including the Blackbird. It seems that now we are working on the project Aurora, $ 15 billion, to produce the new spy planes capable of flying at eight times the speed of 'sound.
A perfect base for hiding other secrets too, linked to extraterrestrial factors. The revelations of Bob Lazar, are borne out by General Wright Patterson that he saw with his own eyes in the basic nine bodies of small humanoids kept in a special cryogenic conditions. He also heard from staff of the basis of other bodies and thirty five UFO spaceships. There were also the affidavits of two other Air Force officers on these humanoids. Under five feet tall, grayish skin, all beings macrocephaly, slightly slanting eyes, no nose, no hair, and hair, small ears, mouth slit nearly.
the research center are Sharon Singer. He tells us that his mother saw a spaceship landing.
"A great light blue. My mother has always talked about that light. A decade later and still 'in shock. A light so strong that it allowed her to see more. He guessed a couple of figures, not much high, but not 'failed to distinguish other. "
The ship having landed by Mrs. Singer would right here in this plaza that inhabitants of the area know very well because there 's a mailbox. And maybe quell'astronave and 'over, among others, into the base. Maybe 'among those studied by Lazar.
try other tracks. We find a curiously alien doll, which was rebuilt according to the testimonies of those who saw it. E 'gray, very gray and with all the features described in the report of General Patterson. Perhaps Einstein was right when he said: "People have undoubtedly seen something."

AFRICA, A CONTINENT IN AGONY
This summer returned to Africa. The goal was a report on desertification is creating so many failures around the world. For the first time I went to the villages, I slept in huts, close to a people who had never seen a white man. I was moved and shocked. Li ', in Kenya, I realized how many people there' to love, how we can help and what a mess we have combined the so-called civilized world. I've heard of being in the center of the earth, where is' born humanity ', and that they' must start afresh. I met with this Africa all'AMREF, a foundation of medicine and research that really works with great sacrifice and with great merit. We should all help. Votes need practical help and even love. www.amref.org www.amref.it

This 'area of \u200b\u200bthe Turkana tribe' that thirst and hunger, is disappearing. The sign of the agony and 'in this village, Lorus, abandoned in a hurry. They ran, also because 'we do not even have high hopes for November, the rainy season. We cross this sea of \u200b\u200byellow sand and a land so dry 'dry and crack. To think that when it rained in this plain, Lottikipi, the grass was so 'high that you could not see the skyline. Now those rivers are trails that were burned by the sun. We follow the traces of
Great Escape Turkana through the carcasses of animals. We find the remains of the tribes' grazing close to the last. Before you get scared. Many of them have never seen a "muzungu," a white man. The women are hidden, with the children. Then he meets the council of elders. Agree that we can help. The village chief called
Keyonga.Loowa does not know what 'a microphone, but he understands that and' them 'is screaming inside his cry of pain and his desperate plea. " Mungu has God threw the keys of the water. We are all dying. It does not matter to us who are old. muiono But even children. It is not 'right that must still live their lives. But you can not 'live well', without water or food and with the enemies, Toboso, who want to take away what little we have left. Come and save us, the world has a duty to save .
trust is not 'a lot, within walking distance if you continue to pray Mungu. God is, and that' the rain dance. A song with no joy, yet in eyes of all there 'still hope.''
The drought is the worst ever recorded in the history of the region. Three months ago, the Nairobi government declared a state of calamity. And the World Food Program announced that the stocks food is almost gone. According to the organizations in the world at least two million and a half people need immediate food only in this area. Government sources report that about half of the rural population and less than a third of the city are not self-sufficient in terms of food. In the most affected by drought, 90% of the rivers is now completely without water, and 80% of cattle are already dead.
The Chronicles of the last month look like a war report. Lacks the blood and the few stocks are deteriorating for lack of electricity. To feed the people eat the animals, and spread diseases related to malnutrition. Especially the most at risk 'children. UNICEF estimates that only about 80 000 children in Kenya are likely to die for a deadly combination of malnutrition and infection.
Africa is therefore dying. To thirst for hunger, disease and wars. At this moment there are fifteen bloody conflicts that the continent 'of the old world.
Full Turkana area, enter the hospital in Lopiding to try one of the many signs of endless wars in Africa and forgotten. We Lokichoggio, the most 'in crisis in Kenya and possibly the entire African continent, the crossroads of magnet' and wars. Not far away are the border with Uganda and Ethiopia, and especially 'close to the Sudan. Ethiopia and 'certainly one of the countries most' drought 'as well as by the war. Eight million are at risk and to avert disaster, according to the UN, we need at least 900 000 tons of food. An effort that is equivalent to almost 400 billion lire. Here at Lopiding
all the injured have been admitted to the devastating war in Sudan. To understand we have chosen to tell the story of Peter. It 'feels young but already' a warrior. She's twelve. In his country the war has gone on for twenty years and therefore he did not even know what peace is, a life without hate .. He says, almost proudly, that he lost his leg in the fighting, but it 'jumped on a mine in front of the house .. Do not know 'cause you kill. Peter has left a drawing in the infirmary. For him the enemy and 'King Kong. The War in these parts, where 'the only game. But it 's a curse. Gia 'two million deaths.
Yvonne Del Prado / hospital director:
"It 'a long war, hard, as all here in Africa. A few days ago have resumed bombing and we can not' go to help the wounded, to transport them here the hospital. But there are not only the war wounded, including women and children who are muiono of hunger and diseases. We try to help everyone. But it's not 'easy. The reasons for war are the ones officially religious .. northern Muslims against southern Christians as "
But the world knows' cause you kills. . Sudan and 'the country more' big in Africa. The South and 'water-rich and could solve the crisis of drought' of the Horn of Africa, but above all, tell us, the oil floating in the Sudan.
there are a lot of children in the hospital. No need for words. With just their looks. Sad and proud. In the pavilion there are number four mothers with infants. A Sudanese mother sings a lullaby to her child, like all the other children of the world, with the only fault to be born in an unlucky place. Poor Africa, where children do not smile more '. The next day doctors
accompany dell'Amref (African Foundation for Medicine and research) in the villages of the north. A journey, fortunately, now commonplace. A doctor implanted in the village a kind of mobile clinic. Check out the most 'fragile, elderly and children, is vaccination. Do not complain, but they whisper all, as an invocation to heaven magi, water. Those who are more 'serious Lokichoggio are hospitalized, the hospital itself. The doctors are trying to stem the carnage dell'Amref health.

"In large parts of Kenya the situation is becoming every day more 'dramatic', and next few months, at least until November, is expected to worsen Many families have completed the stocks last year and survive only thanks to food subsidies: even if it rained last October, many farmers will not have seed for new crops. Besides the usual work in the field of medicine, prevention and sex education and reproductive health, AMREF is involved for years in the field of environmental health with the construction of wells and the construction of courses for the protection of sources: the latter catastrophe confirms, however, it takes a quantum leap. In future we seek to promote new programs to integrated environment and health of local populations, overcoming the barriers (and mistrust) that now divide those healthcare organizations involved in environmental protection. The other major concern is related to climate change. We do not know if the crisis in Kenya, and the end of drought Twentieth century, are actually due to global warming "
die muiono men and animals. From here, as nowhere else in the world, their lives are linked. It is surely also one of the vanishing tribes 'more' old and known. We are right in Masai territory, to Magadi.
the edge of hell, we meet an old shepherd, Oleshani , with her children. His poor animals looking for a food that does not exist 'are the symbol of environmental disaster
" If you do not eat them, not even we eat and the animals are too weak now to move to more 'distant. When you are ready to die kill them and eat them. Or kill them first, when we see that in the end. For now, resist. But then what? What my children will eat when all the animals will be over? The world must come to see. We have no future "
Behind Oleshani and his sons there 'a lake. They call it the salt lake, but not' rooms: e 'soda. Caustic Soda: eats everything and everyone. The show' Fantastic. We are on the border with Tanzania. Flamingos they catch the water in search of shrimp. They are the only ones who still have to eat. The nature anyway, and 'generous. The firm, which burns, can' be the salvation. This factory is the economic salvation the area. E 'born a city', near the lake. It seems an oasis. Here is' to eat and drink. But unfortunately the lucky few ..
Who still makes us run away from hell. And it 'perhaps the most' sad. The exodus of the Masai, pastoralists and warriors and beautiful weather, and 'came to the outskirts of Nairobi, from where they were hunted. Most of the metaphor, drama, a dying world and where its' birth.
But to whom and 'fault? Just nature? In Nairobi, we find the most 'popular environmentalist in Kenya, President of the Greenbelt.
Wangari Maathai, environmentalist
"Here they say that the great drought 'is a curse from God' cause we were bad. Maybe it 's true. Perhaps we are paying a lot of guilt. We will kill the type and nature takes revenge. We cut down trees to sell charcoal and not working more 'campaign, running in the hell of the city'. We need to change education. I believe very young. But you have to stop in time. If we continue like 'what will' to our young people? Africa is not there will be 'more'. "
Certainly the causes of desertification risk are largely linked to global warming, which is draining a four-fifths of Kenya gia'per arid or semi-arid, but the process and 'certainly accelerated by the high consumption of firewood. An alarm denounced for decades. These are rare pictures of "Some of Africa", a documentary shot by Alberto Moravia in 1975. The continent 's so poor that seventy percent of the population of rural areas and' entirely dependent on wood, but also fifty percent of the urban population use wood, especially in the form of coal. Forests are violated, robbed, killed.
Intasopia visit a school. The educational process progresses. A young Masai who wants to become an engineer, do not dream anymore 'to hunt the lion. Now (sings)'s just a face wet with rain.
Who has the strength, and the will to resist, unable to survive in the countryside. This seems a mirage. A well, on a farm in Ysinia and an irrigation system that turned the desert into an oasis. Lemons, onions, oranges, salad, even the tree pepe.Gente lucky. But still the nature of 'a living, if you do not feel betrayed. In the countryside of an old peasant Vaulin us to see the crops in his garden. A few, but sufficient. Peas and the fruit of bab-bau, the tree of bread. It shows us how it breaks. Soup is a sweet, good, explains Compaci. And here
Nairobi, the capital-case basis. Born just 'cause here ended (and ends) the first train from the coast of Mombasa transport (and delivers) the people and especially goods inside. Nairobi, Masai language, means "the city 'of the sweet waters." Today it seems an unfortunate irony. It 's a metropolis full of contradictions, magical and desperate, sick of traffic and poverty, populated by generous people and criminals. The
overlook. Over there 'there is hell. It 'the most' of the five largest slums in Nairobi. Seven hundred thousand inhabitants, the neighborhood is called Kibera. For all 'the damn neighborhood.
The train still cuts through the neighborhood as it was centuries ago. Skip four times a day. Many people often find without knowing where to go but only, as they say in Africa, to move the time to do something. And 'here in this hell, dramatically ending the hopes of the Masai, and all the other tribes', in search of safety. Fleeing the arid nature, ungenerous, does not have the strength to wait in the tunnel es'infilano here without knowing that it hopes to have even less.
's a world unto itself, Kibera. With its laws. The day before we came here killed a boy guilty of stealing. They executed, stoned. That boy had not eaten for days. It was destined to die anyway.

"The emergency more 'big' health. Here you are ill and dies shortly. If you are sick there are no doctors there 'medicine. Salvation comes from this hospital that is building the AMREF. Perhaps then, when it will be 'ready, our children can be saved. "
Today' on Sunday. It seems like many a Sunday. The dress of the party and the football game between two teams of district students. The most ' Fantastic maybe 'this idea of \u200b\u200bnormality'. Those who live in a place in hell feels qualsiasi.I kids smile, everyone smiles ..
The meeting with a poor prostitute reinforces this idea. The impression is' to be reached the end of the tunnel. Mary Nlaga has thirty-five and four children. He works, he says, for ten years.
"Why 'I do it? It is a profession like any other. I have a family. We need money. What's up' different from other jobs? Do I have to feed my children, my man did not work. I would do any work for them. Yes, 'I'm happy to eat ... But. stop one day', when I have 'a lot of money, stop' and leave 'Kenya. Each time,' in short, to every job, I take fifty shillings, less than a dollar. The road, I know, and 'long'.
not far from Kibera, there is' another area of \u200b\u200bmud. Piu ' Small, perhaps more 'where he made a lot of hard drugs, they say. And 'here, Karlobanghi, that we really feel at the end of the tunnel. We meet two women affected by AIDS. Malate terminals. Buried alive. For Fragile 'natural modesty and live (live?) Hidden in the dark. . And 'as if they were already' death. They speak with a whisper. The first is called
Magret Wangico , has only twenty-three 'years, but already' two children.
"I'm lonely. My drama 'to be alone. All I have left. My children, my husband, my father. What do you think? I do not think, no longer exists.' I hope I die soon. But I also hope all other sick leave are not so 'alone. It 's not just abandon us. We need help, above all, we need love. It 'the only important thing posssiamo bring the other side of life. "
Two more huts' in the' lives School Wajman . Thirty years and three children. They have not abandoned. Two, a boy and a girl. are out of the hut. never let it.
" Yes', I'm lucky. I still have my children. My man and he 'went, scared, but no matter. I am interested in my children. I feel like dying every day, blow after blow, but I have to stay beautiful, I have to be good for them. I'm putting my best clothes. When I will 'become ugly, I'll ask' my children do not see me again '. I feel that is not far .
AIDS is making a real massacre in Africa. There is talk of more than 23 million patients, 85 percent of the total in the world. Particularly affected women a cause for concern if you thinks that pregnant women transmit the virus to the fetus with ease: Last year more than half a million children have been infected by their mothers. Statistics in ten years, in 2010, in Africa there will be forty million orphans. L ' only way to stop the killing and ', even in this case, education. As the center Kibwezi where AMREF is running a family planning, a family health program. There are many women with their children. This desire to surrender and 'the great hope of Africa.
At the end of the journey, we cross the Rift Valley, huge, incredible, exciting .. Here, according to scientists, the human species originated. E 'enveloping, like a big crib.

Four lionesses are preparing an attack in a herd of buffalo. The ruse against brute force. It 'obvious: once again win the queen of the savanna, that is' cunning.
Entering the park, we meet elephants, zebras, ostriches, impalas, giraffes over the inevitable. Playing with the monkeys. At the first lake, we discover a miracle of survival. Hippos living with crocodiles. Once you devour. Now they are together, neighbors. And maybe teach us something. The lesson of nature again.

HORROR OF PATROL
by Pino Scaccia

PATROL. It is estimated that, worldwide, are two and a half million children are sexually exploited According to an estimate of Censis in Italy there are 21 000 cases of child abuse each year (and only talking about rape and harassment were serious). The complaints, however, 'are only 600 a year. Justice and are still going on about 1000 jobs each year for children abused or mistreated. The 35 percent being children under three years. A particularly terrible, 'and in more' than 60 per cent of cases were convicted relatives of the victims. Abuse, therefore, take place in the family.
Region where there were last year, the highest number of cases and 'Lombardy, with 157 cases. Followed soon after by Lazio (121), Piemonte (72), Sicily (69), Tuscany (65) and gradually Campania, Puglia, Emilia Romagna and Veneto. (Source police criminal)
INTERNET. The turnover, which revolves around child abuse and 'giant. Something like 8 trillion a year only with the Internet. There are, I think, 50 000 websites devoted to pedophilia in the world with 2 million children affected and 12 million images and photos. There are 40 000 chat rooms for pedophiles. In addition to the traditional market, no line, swollen by 25 million cassettes and cd-room for pedophiles.
Baby-surfers in the United States is 25 million, that 'children who surf the net for hours every day. It is estimated that in four years, in 2005, it will be nearly 45 million. One in four said they had explored a porn site. One in five has had sexual proposals. (source: Disney)
In Italy there are a million and half the children in age 'school that use computers (65.4%). Those who surf the Internet are 350 000. 73% said they surf alone, ie without an adult nearby. (source Eurispes)
The little slave. Children used, violated, but also exploited, killed by working in an age 'when they should just play. They are called small slaves. According to the latest estimates, 250 million children worldwide, from five to fourteen years, forced to work: and totally inhuman conditions. A particularly notorious phenomenon in the north-east Asia. It 'a recent tragedy in China, where forty-one children have died while fireworks built to stay in school.
But the complaint of our union now and 'alarming. It would be between 300 and 500 000 children forced to work even in Italy. The case erupted three years ago when the death of a twelve year old from scaffolding in Puglia him to discover the sad story of girls in Francavilla Fontana, between twelve and thirteen, forced to sew shirts in basements without windows, often locked to a thousand pounds an hour, from 7 am to 8 pm. According to the European Parliament with the most productive areas' at risk are those textiles. Clandestine laboratories (both north and south) almost always committed to "brand" of world renown. Unfortunately, a phenomenon in full development because '- experts explain - closely linked to unemployment.

CHILDREN SOLD. three thousand children disappear every day in Italy. As if to say, ten per day. Each with its own history, more alarming still. We are victims of bad luck but there are many, too many children sold, used and abused. untouchable. There are in fact among them many children who disappear voluntarily: all small stories in the great drama of history unwary. Perhaps not coincidentally, the region where the number of missing children and 'the most' up and 'just in Campania so' full of problems and social contradictions.
There are children used by the Mafia (who does not know the reality 'of so-called baby-killers, assassins already' to fourteen years), but as I said there are also many children sold for adoption at times, but also for organs .

CAMON, "E 'DISEASE CLOSELY VIOLENT"
BACK OFTEN AND LEAVE THEM ON THE GROUND favorite victims: CHILDREN AND defenseless children. The hand is' always the same: ADULT 'PAEDOPHILE' pretending 'LOVE' which instead is' hate, FRICTION AND DESTRUCTION OF THE CHILD. "Pedophilia is' A VIOLENT AND DISEASE CLOSELY THAN THAT 'THAT IS CONSIDERED AN ACT PRIVATE: HAND AND' A antisocial attitudes." E 'AND CLAIMS FERDINAND CAMON writer and essayist. "I wonder how you can not see the violence that is 'IN AN ATTITUDE LIKE - ADDS - It aims to WHERE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS NOT OF THE BODY' IN TERMS OF defend himself and oppose." YET WE ARE ON PATROL AS PATHOLOGY doubts and uncertainties'. "
DON DI NOTO:" Delivering on our mission "
" Telefono Arcobaleno - DICE DON DI NOTO - CONTINUE 'HIS WORK WITH THE COMMITMENT AND THE POWER EVER AND INDEED, announced that OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS HAS FORWARDED TO THE AUTHORITIES 'TO POLICE THE WORLD AND THE POLICE ITALIAN 501 COMPLAINTS, BUT ONLY IN yesterday were also 24 INDICATIONS FOR 51 SITES child pornography. " The REMAINS BITTER - concluded the priest pedophilia - THE QUESTION OF ITALIAN INTERNET SITES THAT DESPITE THE TENS OF COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED BY PHONE RAINBOW STILL ACTIVE AND PERENNIAL IS CONSTANTLY UPDATED WITH NEW PHOTOS OF CHILDREN EVER 'SMALL, SOME MARKED WITH TATTOOS AS THE Beast ".
Crepet, E 'BUSINESS AS Mafia and Camorra
ALSO psychologists are amazed by the phenomenon of" pedophile-criminal. "" THAT WAS NOT A PARTY BONTEMPONI, Incapable of organizing, YOU KNEW, AND THAT THE PATROL is increasingly 'OFTEN HIGH AND MIDDLE CLASS SOCIAL PROFESSIONALS able to defend. "LO said psychologist Paolo Crepet, commenting on the PEDOPHILE ARREST OF ROME." TODAY - CONTINUED - IT IS MUCH MORE 'THAN YESTERDAY AGAINST THE PHENOMENON AND' BE QUITE CLEAR THAT THERE IS STRENGTH WITH THE DEFENSE ALSO ORGANIZED. FOR Crepet, "On the other hand, the PATROL AND 'A BUSINESS AND NOT' very different from the Mafia and Camorra COAST AND A CHILD AND MAKES VERY LITTLE. "THEREFORE THE PSYCHOLOGIST RECOMMENDED TO GO ALL THE WAY IN THE COMPLAINT, EVEN IF THAT 'IS STILL FEAR:" IT IS NECESSARY TO MOUNT HAVE MORE' COLLABORATION WITH THE FAMILY and the school, being very careful Basista TO THE PHENOMENON THAT ARE IN ALL PLACES.
PARSI, "THE WORST SCHOOL AND FAMILY SAFE
FAMILY SCHOOL PLACES WHERE Lurk MAJOR HAZARDS FOR CHILDREN. THE CLAIMS AGAIN (BUT" These are years that I say, "REITERATES), psychologists THE 'EVOLUTIONARY Maria Rita Parsi, after the detection of a new network of pedophile in Rome." SCHOOL AND FAMILY ARE PLACES OF RISK AND PROTECTION FOR YOUR CHILD CONFIRMS PARSI AND RECOMMENDS TWO LINES OF ACTION TO COMBAT PATROL. "It 's NEEDED - DICE - teaching the teachers, to give precise indications FOR EDUCATORS AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE IN CONTACT WITH CHILDREN. AND THEN THAT MUST BE MADE IN THE SMALL-aware THE DANGER. WHEN are very small, the boys would be perfectly able to defend to be educated DIFFERENT AND IF ONLY KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

The band pedoterroristi
The Roman called "hunting." The children were studied, controlled followed. Then he lured. With the complicity 'of the janitor became victims of shock video sale. But not only. There is evidence that these poor children were also sold. A child prostitution ring involving professionals and entrepreneurs, some well-known , Rome, at least forty. villainous organization by the heads of the police now expects names and circumstances. were interrogated for hours, to see how far that point were concrete projects terrorist armed with a pedophile that front set up by Robert Marino, 37, a former policeman passed to the Education, considered the ideologue of the group. E 'locked up in solitary confinement in a prison in Rome from October 2, when he was arrested in front of the old mother at her home in Cinecitta' where he had accumulated highly toxic chemicals to be used against all those who fought pedophilia. "I was raped as a child in college," he confessed to explain the perversion. Surely he had found a great ally in Joseph Buonviso, 34, a former policeman, now a bouncer at a nightclub. But in others, including a doctor and a nurse, violent and hungry money. All characters already 'reported, more' times, long ago.

Now the lone wolf is afraid. Robert Marino, 37, a former policeman and an ideologue of the pedo-terrorism, for eight months and 'locked up in solitary confinement in prison Rebibbia. In a letter to a friend speaks his sudden anguish: "I fear that they will pay me in here." Certainly, for the investigators, their responsibilities' are heavy. In the manual found in home, at the time of arrest, as well as detailed instructions to lure children, even the mad project of pedophilia against all enemies, including a food contamination and chemical warfare in the subway. The Lone Wolf, is defined as the leader of the discovery in Rome, and now 'really just' cause its more 'close associates, the former policeman and janitor Giuseppe Franco (almost grandfather and his daughter' pregnant) yesterday during interrogations in Regina Coeli have denied any wrongdoing, blaming any responsibility 'to Robert. They have yet to be heard the other three arrested a nurse who allegedly drugging children, a boy of 19 years, Andrea, who organized the meetings and perhaps the figure more 'shabby, a man already' retired at 40 years would push the prosituzione his sons 11 and 14 years. But meanwhile this morning, and prosecutors' was heard a witness, EC, a young homosexual who knew the whole band of orcs' cause one of the best places for grooming, as well as a games room of the center, there was a gay disco on Casilina. And while details are still chilling on emergency services and figures (including 180 million paid by wealthy businessmen for a vacation sex with minors) does not appear to diminish the anguish of the parents, even today, in line with photos of children by police to be reassured . But it 's safe in the school where they were.


THE SIXTH CONTINENT
The land becomes narrow. Two hundred years ago we were one billion, today we are more 'than five and a half billion, in 2050 we will double that in a century, at the current rate of growth on this planet-we think-even thirty billion people. The first alarm, according to a UN report, concerns 2025: thirty years we should be eleven billion human beings.
We are moving toward a world without borders so. In the Third Millennium in front of any available work-place in Europe there are 64 people on the waiting list in one band of Mediterranean Africa. A movement of biblical proportions, real slick, and there 'who is even talk of a "sixth continent" from the so-called third world will move in search of refuge, to developed countries where there is work but also where still apply certain human rights, freedom 'first.
"The company 'of tomorrow - said the sociologist Franco Ferrarotti - will be' multi-ethnic and multiracial, and then. We must now understand that the world and 'become united and that humanity' and 'at the same time touched by everything' happens. We must now understand that the world 'became unified. We need to understand that social groups, ethnic states are too small and should be open to others. Only in the acceptance of the other we can enrich ourselves. " For
Monsignor Luigi Di Liegro, director of Caritas of Rome, a hero of the marginalized, died a few years ago, "these brothers come to us because 'here and' can have perhaps the solidarity ' that have always seen as a value of our civilization 'and are also a chance' to seek a better future, in most countries' lucky. The problem, therefore, and 'spiritual in character, ie' form in the consciousness of people, especially young people, feelings of tolerance and respect. "
The world, however, probably not 'ready yet at this idea of \u200b\u200buniversality'.'s because 'shameful episodes occur as the beating of an immigrant on a bus to Ostia or the lynching of a black man on the beach in Sardinia. Or as the story of a young Eritrean woman forced to leave the place in Rome on a bus to a white man. Quell' and bus 'a metaphor: the Earth looks like more and more' on that bus, crowded, suffocating, where you ready to rip those few seats where there is' the fear that others will take away space. This 'new racism, no more' just ideological, but other than racism, linked to the struggle for life, survival. We are witnessing these days in the movement of refugees from all parts of the world in crisis: Eastern Europe, the former Yugoslavia, Somalia and Rwanda shocked by the war, Cuba A movement that often triggers another war that has already 'called the "war among the poor." And 'the clash between those who are' out of work and has no home, people who do not have the same skin but has the same problems.
A survey done by the communities' high schools of Sant'Egidio in Rome gave exist puzzling but clear: seven students out of ten they do not want foreigners because 'the unanimous answer-remove-work. "I believe that forty years of well-being, reconstruction of war - says Mario Marazziti, director of community '- good or bad this time of strong consumerism, here as throughout the West, has created a disabitudine to bear the each other of something goes wrong with those who are worse off. intolerance towards those who are 'foreign' related intolerance against anyone who poses a problem. This is 'a society' that must rebuild a culture of acceptance ".
Tahar Ben Jelloun, a Moroccan immigrant in France, says in a book his experience of isolation, extreme loneliness, misery of all affective those North Africans torn from their land, separated from his family, uprooted from their culture and forced to live in Europe, humiliated and rejected, in order to gain a piece of bread without any satisfaction. Jelloun defines those like him "the new damned." Maybe we should strive to understand the plight of these people who now meet more and more 'frequently on the road. The problem, if you will, and 'also practical, not only the moral of those eight and a half billion people on the planet that we will be in thirty years, only a billion and half belong to the so-called civilized world, the other seven billion will come from countries in the developing world. How can we not take this into account, especially considering that thirty percent of 'we' will ' old, out of the age 'production?
get used to the idea of \u200b\u200bliving together. It 's not difficult. He told us once Kpan Teabbev Simpice, a young engineer from the Ivory Coast: "Usually we're used to seeing our differences. And there are differences. But let us now on to see what 'unites us, that brings us together. "

WHOLE STORY YLENIA
If she were alive now he would more 'than thirty years. And 'in fact, born November 29, 1970. The last time 'was seen in New Orleans eight years ago, on January 6, 1994. Since then many sightings, many voices (Even newer), big controversy with his father, Albano, but no certainty. Ylenia and 'disappeared. I followed his trail for more 'than a year. I strongly hoped that she was alive, 'cause I always loved that girl beautiful, rebellious, mysterious. His story involved everyone. And even friends of the tribe 'keep asking news, at least history.

A military pilot told me at the microphone: "In June I saw Ylenia at home." The death dates back to January 6, six months earlier. That evening Albano, good memories, he directly insulted. I went to see him. I've only made other insults, including public.
One day on the "Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno" wrote to me: "Unfortunately, the land of the Montanelli Biagi and children does not deserve that."
I answered: "Of course. Also a pity that not all singers are Ray Charles or Frank Sinatra."
I tried to take him to court. He has never made a complaint of disappearance. By the prosecutor in Rome, where a prosecutor tried to open a file, and the investigation 'was transferred with absolutely irregular procedures in Brindisi, where is' stuck in a drawer.

Ylenia. E '"B-one on the first floor. Two beds, a mirror, a few things. Here he stayed in the company of Alexander Masakela, surely seven nights from December 30 to January 6.
Leonard Dale, the former owner of the hotel, remembers the New Year. "I sent up two beers to celebrate, Ylenia then asked me to turn the music down, he was sleepy."
Five days later, and 'out alone and it' disappeared. Another old, the guardian of the aquarium, that evening she saw a beautiful girl, blonde and blue jump in Mississippi, in this point where the currents intersect.

Witnesses and 'trust. Thirty years old, from Brindisi, and 'a former military pilot. Now is the sales person. Perfect Sight: eleven tenths. His name is Leonardo. We avoid the name, of course we know that, in deference to its decision not to appear on television. A commitment made to a family linked to the Carroll family. That family was with him in June, when they went to visit a cottage in the village of Al Bano and Romina to rent for the summer.
There, overlooking the terrace, would have seen Ylenia, the girl that everyone is looking for almost a year. Ylenia and that it was' very safe, ready to swear. We told him, with all iparticolari, three nights ago in Brindisi. We had two witnesses, so there is no 'possibility' of denial. The next evening we met him again, always with our two friends, and confirmed everything. And this time we were able to document the meeting. Our witness, see, and 'one at the bottom, with the sweater, leaning against the car.
'Yes', I saw it. It was she, Ylenia. You know it all. I can not be wrong. And You 'and realized that we had seen and' come back into the house. "
So, it was almost summer. June. The former pilot sees Ylenia from the terrace. It describes it.
The Carroll family lives on the edge of Cellino San Marco, Curtipitrizi in the district, secured by a real bunker. In March and 'being done to bring this Christ: in the village there' who says to pray, some as votive offerings. It 's very difficult to approach. This and 'the house of Al Bano and Romina Power. The room of Ylenia and 'high up on the attic. Who lives in these parts says that Carroll, the first phase of agonizing research, I have never left the village except for trips abroad, sometimes carried out with private flights, ostensibly to tour in Spain, Switzerland, the U.S. and Australia - also in March, a month recurring, almost a turn-where did the elderly parents of Al Bano. For some 'time but are back' to be seen in the village yesterday morning we took Romina with her son more 'big, Yari, in front of the elementary school in Via Marconi to take two more girls' small.
news is' certain: in Italy there ', there' never was, an investigation into the disappearance of Ylenia. The confirmation of the
magistrate.

The next day, in Cellino San Marco

We returned this morning in Cellino San Marco to respond to the invitation of Al Bano. Last night, live, had pledged to open the doors of his house. The doors of the house Carrisi
but did not open. Denials and 'decided, categorical. Al Bano, with whom we spoke at length on the phone, he again defended his right to remain silent, a right that no one is going to crack. All the rest, in this village struck by the Apulian crime 'but full of friendly and generous people, all part of the family Carrisi anguish for what they affectionately call "the little American." We avoided these days to disclose the many voices, 'cause uncontrollable. But the witness-waiting-for last night, proposing instead-even in principle-a hypothesis that the same exact question Al Bano provocatively raises: whether it was true what they said the former pilot Brindisi (ie 'that Ylenia in June would have been in the villa of Curtipitrizzi), 'cause the parents hide Ylenia? Always to heed those who would see her, she would be weakened and therefore it would be logical, even just, yet allow them to recover and protect it from the noise of the media. And here is perhaps explained this chusura total to all information, especially the immediate denials, too immediate. But the hope general and 'we will soon be a big party for the return of this blonde babe and sweet. Maybe for his 24th birthday in a month.

TG1 CONFIRMS THAT HAS REFUSED TO DO ANY sensational. WE HAVE MADE A SERVICE BY THE WITNESSES SPEAK. AND THEN, IF NOT I HAVE SOME CREATED YLENIA I or TG1. AFTER THE DATE AND 'PASSING ANY EVIDENCE, ALL THE NEWS THAT TURNS ON HOPES THAT MAY STILL BE ALIVE, AND' LIGHT, arouses interest from the public. LAST NIGHT AND WE HAVE JUST DONE OUR JOB as a reporter. "Pino Scaccia - ADDS Carlo Rosselli - AUTHOR OF THE SERVICE HAD A WITNESS WITH BOTH AND NAME surname. There was nothing far-fetched. CHESS AND 'A SERIOUS REPORTER, also author of other important services is probably' DISCOMFORT THAT TAKES CARE OF TG1 news events. The EC HAVE WITH U.S., CERTAINLY, BECAUSE 'WE ARE THE FIRST TO GIVE NEWS AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE CASE OF THE' THELMA AND LOUISE 'GREENHOUSE. But then they throw it all A DEAD BODY FOR DAYS AND DAYS WITH GREAT RELIEF the first page. PROBABLY ABOUT argues WISHES TG1 WAS A BULLETIN OF THE BUILDING AND NOT A NEWSPAPER THAT TAKES CARE OF THINGS THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST ALWAYS check and verify the NEWS. THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO THE FACTS OF THE STORY, I AM A JOURNALIST WHO IS THE CHRONICLE AND 'RIGHT AND LOGIC IN THAT A TG PEOPLE THE FACTS OF DAILY, THE CHRONICLE, THE HAVE AND HAVE COVERAGE Without exaggeration, I REPEAT, NOT Deleter sensational.

The Director of the "Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno Lino Patruno

Respect, God forbid , every opinion. So of course I agree that cutting the "Official" wanted to give the case Ylenia. However, given the delicacy of the story, I would like to re-establish at least that is what myself, the Tg1, reported yesterday evening. I presented a witness who claims to "have seen Ylenia at his home in June." Then he describes it. No more, no opinion. No, it 'I do' my witness, spoke of "the girl prisoner at home "or" cruel parents that segregated held against his will ', his daughter "as written by Lino Patruno. It' so true that, even if the witness had seen the righteous, and my guess' (would be) another. What the couple Carrisi, in this case, would allow Ylenia still recovering from a bad adventure and above all protect against the din of mass media. A sacred right and understandable. I hope, with this, soon to celebrate-as all-the return of Ylenia and then remove the accusation of "Jackal" which from his father before a reporter, I just do not deserve.
Thanks hospitality 'and with respect,

Open Letter to Al Bano

Dear Al Bano,
apologize first if I call her "dear" but do not have it with you In spite of the Jackal has given me, unworthy son of the Montanelli and Deer, the reporter in bad faith, without scruple, with the instinct of an animal ... and so, despite the flood of insults that (a fellow feeling of the show) I am unfortunately not only sympathetic when he talks about his daughter but also when discussing records and songs, despite all that 'I am ready to suffer and understand it.
I am writing, enjoying the hospitality 'of his friend Leonardo Sgura with whom I shared a large part of the adventure in Puglia,' cause as I- His brother told the Franco-phone with you, unfortunately you can not talk, you fight. And I'm sorry.
meanwhile should explain why 'has always refused any help regarding the disappearance of Ylenia. Regularly accompanied by a rejection of those "famous" insults. E 'success as a serious investigator Rossi, an excellent left as a cleric and last, and' happened to me. As you see I do not take into consideration just because Marra 'should begin to distinguish between people. So, why '? 'Cause those immediate denials, the annoyance of this help, the shelter instead of insults in the application process, the search for truth'. I am sorry that no investigation of the judiciary will be able to leave. She has the same called by many newspapers and trumpeted it to me as a threat to the phone. He wants to speak before the magistrate. Very good. But when? I know that does not depend on you but I hope at least that we have in common: the desire to go through the channels of justice. No more 'nosy investigators, no more' but a judge unscrupulous reporters interviewing many witnesses who are facing each other on a surely painful. Please
only to avoid lessons of journalism. You represent all that "the home of the Montanelli and Cervi does not deserve children." With a beat in spite of I could tell you that not all singers can be born Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles, but I avoid it. More 'seriously I could answer with those items that two great masters of journalism have written to me after another sensational story, that of Farouk. And indeed it was an editorial by Montanelli, given the authority, which is likely to convince all of Italy and I was right, imagine, judge, police chief and interior minister. Do not judge the work of reporters. It has all the respect as a father, but try to respect others. While talking on the phone from the police station I was also accused of Cellino, you think, that I never did an interview on the last album. Perhaps it is a bit 'of confusion of roles. His bitterness and 'understandable but remember that, despite appearances, and no one' enemy. Neither do I. Otherwise I would have had to tell all that I heard in Cellino. I did not and I will not 'never. Maybe.
accept the conclusion that I hope to shake hands, waiting to be affected in a better opportunity. For the party to Ylenia, with loud cheers, and maybe to talk about his latest album. Even reporters have a soul, that 'love music. His

The judicial inquiry

At the Court of Rome there is' a dossier on the case Ylenia, rated the number 6801 / 94 N. This file from yesterday and 'back on the table by the Chief Prosecutor Michael Coiro. This morning the same Coiro told us that for now the dossier "and ' pending. "Text. Maybe he's studying the local jurisdiction, perhaps, is to assign it to a prosecutor, perhaps the archive '. Officially there has reiterated that the investigation, in fact, and' suspended. In reality ', the file was already' been entrusted to a deputy, David Iori, who had convened a list of witnesses, beginning with Raniero Rossi, that 'the investigator with a statement that Perugia-complaint had led to the initiation of the investigation. Rossi, you see, was been called for tomorrow, Friday 'at 11 by Iori. But the magistrate, as evidenced by this other document, has revoked the decree of citation and that' therefore postponed until a later date. Moreover, the prosecutor has not occurred to the acts the cassette with the service registration on the case of Ylenia Tg1, already 'officially required, just' cause does not currently have on file. Hopefully it's just a matter of time and that the investigation parts would be the first of its kind in Italy on the disappearance of Ylenia. Also because 'the intervention of the judiciary and' was more 'sometimes claimed by the Al Bano.

- And who told her in the dream?
"I said, 'Grandma, I want to be at peace, I will not fuss, do not want advertising', if you publish 'the book I'm writing I'll do' under a false name."

sightings. Last.

THE GAZZETTINO. Venice (2000)
A weekly German, Frau im Spiegel, the cover headline "Ylenia is alive!
23:30 pm: Venice, the secret was revealed her daughter's disappearance."
The news emerges from the story of a popular photographer who claims he saw the daughter of Al Bano and Romina Power Station of Saint Lucia Venice on the eighth of April.
"The nose, the mouth above the eyes: they were" his. "If she was an impersonator was not perfect." The yellow of Ylenia Carrisi the daughter of Al Bano and Romina Power disappearance six years ago in the U.S. is experiencing a new start. Nothing is absolutely certain for the moment - and his father Al Bano was quick to call "pure profiteering" sighting of the new daughter - but the tale of a photojournalist at the Venice Gazzettino opens another glimpse of the dense mystery which since '94 surrounds the fate of Ylenia. The photographer is Roberto Fiasconaro 53 years of San Stino Livenza and freelance contributor to RCS and national periodicals. And he is the author of the picture taken on the night of 8 April in Saint Lucia railway station in Venice. Fiasconaro because that night was at the station in Venice? "Three four days before I received the message from a friend. He told me at the station by a couple of nights there was a group of boys and girls and one of them looked like Ylenia Carrisi. I decided to go and see: they are been to Saint Lucia and two consecutive nights I have not found anyone. " The third time was that good. "Yes on 8 April I was in Venice at the theater and around midnight I returned to the station. A few minutes later came four girls and they sat talking near the ticket office. The one that stood before me looked like Ylenia. How can he be sure the view right? "I observed from a distance with a telephoto lens: it was her. But she noticed the girl lowered her head and stood up to exit. So I moved so I passed by and I was shocked: she was an impersonator or just a perfect little 'fatter and sloppy. "Then what did you do?" Before I photographed from behind then went around and I asked in English "Excuse me Miss Ylenia Ylenia Carrisi is she?". First he said yes then no. Then she ran to the first track and stopped in the dark. Shortly after one of the girls who were with her went to take it and asked "who is Ylenia?". "Nothing, nothing" was the answer but I have since launched a look that I would call an accomplice. " Watch the end of it? "No, because at some point the station became a young man who took her hand and started talking I learned he spoke to me. Suddenly they headed toward the exit and that's when I took the photos. It is between them and me started a discussion but I wanted the film survived. Then I ran away. " The kids what they did? "They took their packs and headed toward the building of railways. Since then I came back two others, three nights in any hotel I asked about but have not found a trace." Mr Fiasconaro think that girl was really Ylenia? "The nose, mouth and eyes were his. If it was not she was his sister. And I've seen so many similarities. Ylenia I met and I was shocked this view. "
