00:01From attacks in Puglia to sightings in Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and Lazio, the summer of 2026 was marked by widespread
00:10alarm over wolves.
00:13Italy has the largest wolf population in Europe. According to the latest national survey from 2022, there are approximately 3
00:22,500 wolves.
00:23What worries people is the growing number of sightings near populated areas and attacks on livestock and people.
00:33According to farmer Raffaele Pina, wolves were not there before and the problem has worsened in recent years.
01:06The number of attacks remains low, but co-existence between humans and animals and animals,
01:10remains complex and preventive measures currently appear to be the most effective.
01:15In Italy, we have a very similar situation to Europe from the point of view of the conflict level.
01:20The data correspond almost completely.
01:22There are studies made in the last 5-10 years that the wolf is responsible for the predation
01:31of about 0,06% of the capes of bestias present in Europe.
01:36Italian numbers are very similar.
01:38So, it means that the wolf every year kills about 1 capes of bestias every 10.000.
01:44So, if we look at the level of technical compartment,
01:47the wolf is certainly not the main responsible for the crisis of the sector.
01:57The best way to face these problems is that of preventing.
02:01The training and the appropriate resources to reduce the damage possible possible.
02:09But when, for some reason, we have to have a deal with people particularly confident,
02:15with wolves that have taken the habit of creating particular damage,
02:22then we need to intervene.
02:23The wolf's status changed from highly protected species to protected species,
02:28reigniting the debate in Italy and across Europe.
02:58We talked to different NGOs and they said that their dependency on fossil fuels
03:03and the electricity grid sometimes limits the ability to deliver healthcare.
03:07And we believe that the availability of those resources should not be a limiting factor
03:13to deliver healthcare.
03:35One of the challenges we face is deciding which equipment goes on the inside of Stellar Juva.
03:40It is very important to take the right equipment for the right use case
03:43because you can only use so much energy.
03:59So, it will enable us to go and screen mothers and babies,
04:03catch complications early and refer them in real time.
04:25Europe's skies were at their busiest ever this summer as tens of thousands of flights cross the continent daily,
04:31despite disruptions caused by the Middle East war.
04:35According to aviation safety body Eurocontrol,
04:38Europe recorded a daily average of nearly 36,000 flights from July to August,
04:43a 2.4 percent increase compared to 2025.
04:47While Eurocontrol acknowledged that the U.S.-Iran war influenced this year's tourist season,
04:53the conflict has also encouraged many Europeans to holiday within their own continent, widely seen as safer.
05:00Greece's airports saw record passenger numbers which pushed its air traffic control system to the limit,
05:06especially during the peak season.
05:09Despite the increase across the continent, 72.6 percent of flights arrived on time,
05:15up 1.2 percentage points on 2025.
05:19France remained the worst offender for delays caused by air traffic control management problems,
05:24accounting for 32 percent of all delays on its own.
05:36Atokos, a small and inhabited island in the Ionian sea between Ithaca and Lefkada,
05:40has become an increasingly popular tourist attraction.
05:47Although no people live on the island, it is home to a population of wild boars that have become accustomed
05:52to the presence of visitors,
05:54and appear to enjoy their company.
05:58I've never seen pigs on a beach before, and yeah, it's nice.
06:03It's quite busy, I will say.
06:05There's a lot of people that come, but I think once it gets a wee bit quieter, it's really nice,
06:09and the pigs seem a lot more peaceful.
06:10Tourists are clearly thrilled by the unusual encounter.
06:14It's been amazing.
06:15The pigs are very lively, I'd say, but something very unique.
06:20For the most part, the animals are calm,
06:22spending much of the day foraging for food along the beach,
06:24and occasionally waiting into the seat to cool off.
06:30Travelers from around the world come to the small private island
06:32for the rare opportunity to swim alongside the wild boars,
06:36sit them up close, and even feed them.
06:39It's interesting how they come, they come, they come, they come,
06:42and it's something unique.
06:43It's something that someone likes to come, to see it and to see it as an experience.
06:54We saw it on Instagram, on videos that had been viral,
06:58and since we arrived at the island of Ithaca,
07:01we thought it was a very good idea to see it.
07:08Atokos is accessible only by sea, either by private boat,
07:11or through day trips from nearby islands, such as Ithaca.
07:15For those who make the journey however,
07:18the experience is unlike anything else.
07:20It was absolutely amazing, it was just so cool.
07:23Once we landed, they were all right there,
07:25and if you listen to the captains and do what they say,
07:28they're gonna come up and lay down right next to you.
07:33Never in my life would I've ever thought I'd be doing this.
07:36It's the cutest little thing, and just to be within their nature is amazing.
07:41Atokos has become a must-see destination for tourists visiting the Ionian Sea.
07:45They ask many for Atokos to go and see the Grunakia,
07:52the Manantikou island that exists in Ionian.
07:55The small island is now known internationally as Piggy Island.
08:06The number of small parcels worth less than €150 entering the EU
08:11has fallen by nearly 50% since the 1st of July,
08:14following the introduction of a €3 flat tax on such shipments.
08:18However, Dutch customs warned this decrease might partly result
08:22from a change in the working methods due to the levy,
08:25with companies opting for bulk import and storage within the EU
08:29to resell their goods from there.
08:31The temporary levy was introduced in an effort
08:34to curb the growing dominance of Chinese e-commerce platforms
08:38such as Shein or AliExpress.
08:40Some 4.6 billion low-value items under €150
08:44were imported to the EU in 2024,
08:48representing an average of 12 million parcels per day,
08:51according to the European Commission.
08:54In addition, the EU is about to implement a custom reform
08:57aimed at facilitating the tracking of items arriving from outside the EU.
09:02As part of the reform,
09:04the EU will set up a data hub in the French city of Lille,
09:07where custom data are expected to be gathered and analysed.
09:24The EU might be the only way up to the EU.
09:39The EU is about this kind of a total of two years,
09:41And not only one,
09:42The EU might not be aware of the total ofнизum in the EU
09:42It is known that the EU will not be the same policy as the EU,
09:46where the EU will be donated as a national limit
10:51Ha! Ha! Ha!
10:59Jest to sposób pewien na promowanie tego podejścia do ptaków i też znajomości.
11:05Śpiewu ptaków, które po prostu w pewien sposób jakby zanika, bo w mieście nie mamy z tym styczności.
11:11Dlatego takie imprezy są bardzo, bardzo mile widziane.
