the desolation after the floods in Italy, a long-awaited flight in Georgia

Relief operations continue in Emilia-Romagna, with residents isolated by the floods and evacuated by helicopter. The human toll has worsened in recent hours with 14 dead. In the municipalities where the water has receded, the victims are cleaning up the devastated houses and streets as best they can. Hundreds of hectares of cultivated land are also under water. An economic disaster for this agricultural region in northern Italy. The damage is estimated at several billion euros.

Russian plane lands in Georgia

In Georgia, an airliner from Moscow landed. A first for four years. But this re-establishment of airlines with Russia divides the country. Demonstrators, hostile to the resumption of flights, wanted to remind them. Russia is not welcome in Georgia. Tbilisi applied to join the European Union shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
