Soldiers were deployed across Milan and luxury boutiques boarded up as protesters took to the streets again on Saturday, a week after looting and clashes with police. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced a series of measures, including indeed sending an additional 500 soldiers to the city and introducing tougher penalties for minors, who police said made up a large proportion of last week’s violent protesters.

Canadians are going to the grocery store with money they don't have to spend.
That's the latest finding from the Canadian Food Sentiment Report Index, which is a biannual report led by Dalhousie University's Agri-Food Analytics Lab.

Pentagon officials say the United States plans to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany, where more than 40,000 US service members are currently stationed — Washington's second largest overseas deployment after Japan.
The move comes amid tensions between President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has criticized the Trump administration's lack of an exit strategy in the joint US-Israeli war against Iran.
The conflict has driven fuel prices higher following the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for Gulf oil exports. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius says the troop reduction is foreseeable as the US shifts its strategic focus.
We spoke to Ralf Hechler, mayor of Ramstein — home to the largest US airbase outside the United States — and Sudha David Wilp of the German Marshall Fund about whether the withdrawal is linked to Merz's remarks and what it could mean for Ramstein's future role.

A 62-year-old man is poised to become the first person in Canada to be cured of HIV.
Only 10 patients worldwide are considered cured after following similar procedures. The case was led by Dr. Sharon Walmsley, director of the immunodeficiency clinic at the University Health Network.
Timothy Ray Brown, known as the "Berlin Patient," was the first person cured of HIV, with his cure announced in 2008. An American living in Berlin, Brown was cured in 2007-2008 through specialized stem cell transplants to treat leukemia, using donors with a rare genetic mutation (\(CCR5\)-\(\Delta 32\)) resistant to HIV. He remained HIV-free until his death in 2020.
Spirit Airlines, the pioneering discount airline that shook up the budget travel business, is shutting down its operations. Its demise has stranded thousands of passengers who have to adjust plans and millions who have tickets for future dates — Spirit canceled all flights, shut down its customer service and instructed customers not to go to the airport. Customers with Spirit tickets will be issued refunds, and they have been instructed to rebook travel on other carriers.
The decision will put 17,000 workers out of a job, including 14,000 Spirit employees and thousands of contractors and other people whose jobs depend on Spirit. Eliminating the airline’s flights may also result in higher fares across the entire US airline industry.
