italy's seeking their extradition. three more suspects are actively being stopped -- sought. >> the terrorize italy through the late 1980's. i spoke earlier with lorenzo c., professor of history in rome. >> it's quite a mixed story, because france traditionally allowed these people to seek asylum in france after being terrorists and -- after being terrorists in italy. so after 40 years now, it will be possible to have justice. it is a remarkable friendship from france to italy #of friendship from france to italy. -- it is a remarkable sign of friendship from france to italy. for nearly 20 years, the red brigade were the most important terrorist group. they are very connected to the kidnapping and assassination, but they committed many crimes and assassinations as well. in symbolic terms, it is a very important decision, the one made by macron today. >> what is the legacy that that period left on italy? >> it was very tough, because her where the terrorists from the left-hand from the right and then the assassination of

bringing simplification for italy. this is important for italy which suffered during the pandemic and a long productivity and the need for the structure reform that is the base for the plan. also the investment that they will need to make. in particular focuses on digital and innovation and fighting of climate change the green revolution is getting 68 billion euro. then there is infrastructure and sustainability that is getting 31 billion euro. education and research and inclusion and health is getting 18.5 billion what this is concentrating on is helping the poorer regions 40% of the money is going to that area. as well as to women and to younger people that is also where unemployment numbers are high it is focusing on trying to improve structurally certain situations in italy that have been long coming also today, the eyes are also on the easing of measures which brings to the opening of restaurants. it is also the start to hopefully more easing of restrictions in a situation in which we are seeing rollout of vaccine

we also have to talk about italy. mario draghi has been speaking at the italian parliament for the last hour. he details how he plans to spend almost 250 billion euros to jumpstart the economy. with us from milan is raffaella tenconi. it is great to have you. this is obviously a vicious spending plan on the part of mario draghi and his government. is it going to work? raffaella: good afternoon and thank you for having me. i think it is going to work to the extent it will push gdp growth in the next couple of years for certain. mario draghi has instances where he knows it will work. investment in capital digitalization and construction always works. it will have a decent multiplier in employment. where i think he will fail is in terms of long-term potential, there is not enough emphasis on building the new generation, refreshing the corporate sector, integrating the youth at the women, which were completely lacking in the labor force in italy. he is doing the best he can have and the constraints he has. i would say he

paparazzi in italy. they follow you everywhere. i'm going to make them one of my favorites, a very special kind of noodle. i've never made it because there isn't a lot of wheat in this area, they use buckwheat, which is indigenous. it's been one of lombardy's top culinary delights for over 500 years, and rightly so. i can't get enough of it. so now cabbage sort of cut almost like the -- themselves. then the potatoes. like all northern dishes, it requires lots of butter. i love this. and now, of course, paolo's cheese. okay. i hate to say it, but i'm going to need more butter. that's why nobody who eats pete sew kri lives beyond the age of 35. see all that nice cheese melted in there. okay. everybody just come and pick. that's enough pete sew kri for like a thousand people. jamie, give me the camera. you eat. do you like it? >> i like it. >> yeah? you guys are eating it. the crew is exhausted, they're ravenous, and they're lapping it up. but will my efforts stand the test of the locals? the family that owns the lodge we're staying i

it will it cost italy in the long-term?— will it cost italy in the iona-term? , ,., long-term? it will be paid throu~h long-term? it will be paid through either— long-term? it will be paid - through either contributions by the national government to the european budget or through eu taxation — that is, for all countries, and it will be reimbursed over a long period of time. i think contrary to the task italy can probably rely for a reasonably long period of low interest rates, which would facilitate, really, the current situation. on top of that, i think the plan is actually designed in such a way that the citizens will see the effect of the money. the money is spent on public administration for digitalisation and the public administration for transport — things you can really see — and that should facilitate the introduction of major structural reforms, because thatis structural reforms, because that is really the key for the country to improve its long—term outlook. mil country to improve its long-term outlook. all right, thanks, lorenzo, _ long-term outlook. all ri

part of that in france and italy too. and on the fiscal outlook for italy, this is a primary test, but also for the region. italy, for generations, has been failing to use fiscal spending to increase productivity. it has gone to extra debt. mario draghi is aware of this. he was the head of the ecb and critical about the needs for reforms. can he pull this off? on paper this looks good, like he will be investing and increasing productive resources. if he can do that, it is a major hurdle for italy and a major turning of the corner. we will have to wait and see. there are lots of negatives too. look at the politics in germany. the market could be nervous when merkel steps down in september, particularly if we get a green party unknown to the market. and french presidential elections next year. a lot of uncertainty, but right now the vaccine trade has been lifting the euro. when the vaccine trade was lifting the dollar and sterling in the first quarter of this year, we had yields pulling higher. that is not necessarily the s

italy is in the grip of a third wave with about 20,000 coronavirus cases a day, and so the whole of italy is now in a red zone for this easter weekend. and of course, the vatican, too, is in lockdown. what does that mean? well, that restaurants are only offering takeaway service across the whole of the country and that nonessential businesses right across italy have had to close. there are movement restrictions as well. all arrivals into italy from european union countries are subject to a five—day quarantine as well. but in one concession to italians, who will be sitting down for their easter lunch or dinner at home, they are allowed to invite up to two people from the same family to join them for this, which is an extremely important weekend and celebration for many italians. in terms of church services, well, they are still going ahead for the easter mass, but the faithful are being encouraged to go to the church closest to their homes and, of course, to observe strict social distancing measures when they're inside. pope francis will be holding mass this weekend. he will deliver that
