We begin with a very serious crime report from Rome.

Still on the front of crime and social issues, tensions are being reported in Rome and the province of Milan. In the capital, many residents of the Marconi and Magliana areas are concerned because some private funds are transforming residential buildings into student housing, creating housing problems for the elderly and people with disabilities. In Garbagnate Milanese, however, a violent brawl between groups of teenagers at a railway station resulted in the injury of a 9-year-old boy, who was hit in the face by a stone.
