Zanardi sustained serious head and facial injuries that required two neurological operations by surgeons at the Siena University Hospital. The two-time CART driver and Paralympic gold medalist returned to the operating room on Monday for a five-hour operation that focused on facial reconstruction. Ferrari sends good vibes to Alex Zanardi “The patient has undergone a new surgery, performed by the professionals of the maxillofacial and neurosurgery, aimed at cranio-facial reconstruction and stabilisation of the areas affected by the trauma,” read the latest health bulletin…

Matteo Salvini has criticised the Vatican after Pope Francis’s official alms-giver, a Polish cardinal known for his acts of charity, restored power to a building occupied by hundreds of homeless people in Rome. Cardinal Konrad Krajewski at the weekend climbed down a manhole and turned on a switch that restored electricity to the building, saying he could no longer stand by while people suffered. He was hailed by one newspaper, the Left-leaning La Repubblica, as “the Pope’s Robin Hood”. The 450 occupants of the building had been without electricity and hot water for a week. Services were cut off because the property, which has been lived in by homeless people…

Two British men have been found guilty of coercion after they forced a waitress who was never seen again into their car outside a Costa del Sol nightclub. A Malaga court on Monday sentenced Westley Capper, the 41-year-old son of a British millionaire property developer, to two years for bundling Agnese Klavina into his Mercedes. Capper’s friend, 37-year-old Craig Porter, received a six-month sentence as an accomplice to the incident in the luxury resort of Puerto Banus. Neither man is expected to serve time in prison as Spain’s judicial system routinely suspends the sentences of first-time offenders with terms under two-years. Ms Klavina, 31, worked as a waitress in the…

It was not just in the UK that the traditional parties of Left and Right took a beating at the European Parliamentary elections – all across the bloc mainstream parties lost out to a motley crew of new, insurgent political forces. But the combination of a stronger showing by the Liberals, a mini ‘Green wave’ and populist gains in the south and east of the EU creates political deadlock in Brussels that could last for some months as the main political families engage in horse-trading for the EU’s top jobs. Meanwhile the Brexit Article 50 extension clock is still ticking down to October 31 and any hopes that a big…

Click:楼凤app Russia has informed the US that it has withdrawn “most of their people” from Venezuela, Donald Trump, the US president, said on Monday on Twitter.  The remark came after a source close to the Russian Defense Ministry told The Daily Telegraph that Russia’s largest weapons exporter, Rostec, had downsized its presence in Caracas over long-outstanding payments for military hardware and services. It was not immediately clear that Mr Trump’s tweet referred to Rostec personnel. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the draw-down, reporting that Rostec’s presence in Venezuela was down to a few dozen people after peaking at around 1,000.

The UN’s nuclear watchdog chief revealed on Monday that Iran has accelerated its production of enriched uranium, as Tehran warned the US it "cannot expect to stay safe" after introducing sanctions on the country. Yukiya Amano, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), voiced rare concern over "increasing tensions" between Washington and the Islamic Republic. He said Tehran was now producing more enriched uranium than before, following through with a threat made last month. Iran announced in early May that it no longer considered itself bound to keep to the limits of stocks of heavy water and enriched uranium which were agreed as part of the 2015 landmark…

Seeing the Mona Lisa at the Louvre can be a disappointing experience – the painting sealed behind bulletproof glass, the viewer corralled 10 feet away with a sea of outstretched arms and camera phones blocking lines of sight. The museum’s blockbuster Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition this October will change all that, offering each ticketholder the chance to get within touching distance of the masterpiece in an empty gallery. But there is a catch. The unrivalled access will be delivered via a virtual reality (VR) headset, because the real painting will not be included in the show. A spokesman for the exhibition said it cannot deprive regular visitors of seeing the…

Australia has rescued eight children and grandchildren of two dead Australian Islamic State jihadists from a refugee camp in Syria and will bring them home. In the first such repatriation by Australia, the children were fetched from a camp in northern Syria on Sunday and the government said it was working on bringing them back. Aged between two and 18, those rescued include the three surviving children of Muslim convert Tara Nettleton and infamous jihadist Khaled Sharrouf, photographed standing next to a young son holding a severed human head in a picture that made global headlines in 2014. The two daughters of his pregnant daughter, Zaynab Sharrouf, and the three…

LOS ANGELES, CA — A rookie Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy who said he was shot twice by a sniper in Lancaster earlier this week, prompting a large law enforcement response that shut down traffic and public transport in the area, fabricated the entire incident, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said late Saturday. The deputy, 21-year-old Angel Reinosa, reported being shot at by a sniper who was on the upper floor of an apartment complex north of the sheriff’s Lancaster station, officials said. Reinosa was standing near the heliport in the station parking lot when he reported being shot. Reinosa was rescued and rushed to the hospital to be treated…

EMERALD ISLE, NC — The spinning winds of category 2 Hurricane Dorian spawned a tornado Thursday in Emerald Isle, North Carolina, that crumpled and twisted homes in the community. It was one of 20 tornadoes that were reported Thursday morning across the state, reports said. One was caught by a Ring doorbell camera, which the homeowners viewed from afar. A threat of tornadoes is expected to last until early Friday, according to emergency officials. More than 6,000 residents were already without power by Thursday afternoon, according to officials. Much of coastal North Carolina remained under a storm surge warning and hurricane warning, as well as the tornado watch. Jason Sawyer…
