[speaking italian] [translator] yes. my priority is to get married and have children, rather than pursue a career. yes, of course, but first i intend to finish my studies, and then i'll be thinking of having a family. i think that, um... the value of the family is something that can't be surpassed and comes probably before everything, even before a career. women students in italy still expect to have children. the reality is that the birth rate is still falling. [montanari] i believe that the italians are still interested in having big families, and they are dreaming in having big families. they are reconsidering the past-- for instance, living in a small village or in the countryside with big family as a good pattern of families. i mean, this was really what they are considering the, uh...the targets of their life. there are inevitable consequences of the low birth rate. the guiditta tavani arquati school in rome faces the increasingly common problem of falling rolls.

now amanda knox sits in this italian prison convicted of murder abroad. amanda knox was going into her junior year of college. her mother eda calls amanda the fresh-faced 20-year-old intent on adventure. >> she was going to study abroad going into college somewhere. she didn't know where yet. >> amanda would decide on perusia, italy. her sister remembers when she moved into this house which she shared with three other girls, two italians and one british student named meredith kircher. >> why was she so set on that apartment? >> i think it's because of the people really. it was close to the college and her roommates are the sweetest people in the world. >> but after only six weeks in italy on the night of november 1st, 2007, amanda's overseas adventure would take a bizarre turn. amanda claims she slept over with her boyfriend rafael that night. according to her, they cooked dinner at his house, smoked hashish and made love. on that same night, meredith kircher returned home after watching a movie with friends. sometime between 11:00 p.m. and midnight a wit

perhaps they did not get close enough to the italian island. la guardia does not feel responsible for vessels earlier -- further off the coast. >> if they had been in our zone of operations, we would have rescued them. outside of that, we can do nothing. >> the boat with 72 people on board drifted helplessly. >> [unintelligible] i cannot swim. i could not help. we were dying together. >> miriam and her companions watched them die one after the other, including the infants. their bodies were thrown overboard. >> i drank seawater. i was expecting to die. >> this is how merriam looked when she finally reached shore. another survivor took a picture of her. since then, she has been asking why didn't anybody help them, even after they were seen. on lampedusa, a delegation is investigating the matter. the object are the border patrol, the italian coast guard, the french navy, and nato, which knows best of all what goes on on the libyan coast. >> people watched them die. i think that is outrageous. it must be cleared up and the guilty must be punished.

leaders appointed italian mario dragi. he's been named the new super mario. he'll face the daunting task of leading the euro safely out of the debt crisis. >> e.u. leaders were caught up in a tussle. the nomination of the italian banker to precede jean-claude would have left italy with two board members and france with none. after pressure from president sarkozy, i -- the italian bank director offered to step aside. >> he rang me this morning. and told me he would be taking up new duties before the end of the year. >> when he takes over, the greek crisis will still be a priority. >> i have confidence that th three institutions -- the eupean commiio the i.m.f., and the e.c.b., will do their best to negotiate a program that has a good chance of getting results. everyone knows greece faces a difficult road ahead. >> and no one knows that more than the greek prime minister whose fiscal austerity plan goes to parliament next week. if it passes, they can start negotiating a second bail youfment as an added incentive, the e.u. is offering development grants worth a

so i think that can have an influence. 11 italian lawmakers have petitioned the italian president tohe case. of course, on the other side of the political spectrum, berlusconi, the prime minister of italy, is under charges himself, he characterizes italian prosecutors as a left wing dictatorship. he attacks the judiciary and the prosecution as totally politically biased. the lawmakers in question are berlusconi -- in berlusconi's party. so it's in their political interest to attack the judiciary. so i don't know how that will play out. but i think in the end, amanda knox's case, the case against her is looking weaker and weaker. >> another odd iity for us, at least in the italian court system, is that if you make a charge against the police, the bliss beat me, that leads to a slander charge, which amanda and her parents are now facing. how does that figure into this? >> well, this is absolutely astounding. yeah, of course in the united states, in a criminal case, if the parents come out and say, hey, the cops abused my daughter when they questioned her, no big deal. >> we hear that a

so anybody a complacent big change from my point of view is a dirty commie ok but why because the italian government to reach and your card is of decided yes and they want to make a noise even though these are entirely harmless people it's like having tourists they don't have tanks they don't have the helicopters they don't quite. aeroplane's on your side so it's purely ideological and negative is probably bunch of zero people who don't do anything in a worthless. hundred three. hundred three in april two thousand and eleven he had his elected mayor of new chance on the promise of holding a referendum on a new base. it is said to be held on october fifth just a few days before the italian supreme court blocks the referendum. despite the court's decision the citizens of the chancellor decide to hold an autonomous referendum and on october fifth ninety five percent of the participants photo against in place. of the six i mean yeah i don't want the americans in my town and this is a chance to say it out loud but it's been almost seventy years since the end of the war and we still have occupy

. >>> italians have voted overwhelmingly to give up nuclear energy in a nationwide referendum. voter turnout exceeded the majority or the mandatory 50% required for a quorum, so the result will be valid. italians had opted to close nuclear plants in a poll in 1987, following the chernobyl accident. but prime minister silvio berlusconi's government proposed in 2009 to build new plants to secure sufficient supply of domestically generated electricity. the referendum was on whether to approve berlusconi's idea of reviving nuclear power. voting was held on sunday and monday. the italian interior ministry said 94.6% were against domestic nuclear power generation after 95% of all the votes were counted. >> translator: today is the historic day for italy. >> translator: the nuclear accident at fukushima convinced us that nuclear power generation is an outdated technology. >> even before the result was announced, berlusconi expressed his intention to cancel the plan to build new nuclear power plants. >> translator: once the italian people have spoken we will probably have to give up nu

[ctioning made possible by california farm bureau federation] welcome to the show. i'm your host tracy sellers. so, have you eer wondered, "what does it take to stay fresh in the world of agriculture?" well, one dried fruit company thinks they have found the answer. and they would know. they've been growing strong in the business more than a century now. this time of year, there's only one thing on marysville farmer sam nevis' mind--getting his fruit off the tree. just like any other farmer, getting his harvest in and on time is crucial, even though you won't be seeing these plums in the produce section of the market. that's because you'll be seeing them as dried plums, otherwise known as prunes. and there's no better place for finding some of thbest dried plums than this area. did you know the state's greatest dried plum production actually

they arrived on italian soil and under the convention they have to stay on italian soil. the european commission says that will needs to change. it says the current crisis shows migration as a matter for all e.u. member states. >> the convention is under question, and that is difficult to negotiate. >> there is resistance from the northern e.u. states like germany and belgium. they would rather give more money to build up border protection then take in more migrants. >> the principle that the country where the refugees are arrives should start the procedure and regulate what happens is correct. we should not question it. >> the debate on whether the refugees should stay in that country is just the beginning. ultimately, the heads of the governments will have the last word. >>> he was attentive and cooperative. that is how the had described the former serb army commander ratko mladic. he made his first appearance before the u.n. war crimes tribunal wednesday. the serbian government delivered a ratko mladic to the hague yesterday. he was arrested last year and serbia after

the italian authorities have been overwhelmed. many refugees have decided to travel further into europe to germany. another to e.u. law, they don't have the right to stay in germany, but increasingly, german courts are refusing to deport the refugees back to italy because they say living conditions there are unacceptable. mustafa was forced to flee his country because he filmed and broadcast atrocitieses committed by the islamic alshaba militia. >> that was the start of my problem. >> you released that so people could see it? >> when i release, i lost this thing. >> the militia threatened to kill him. he was forced to flee from the capital, mogadishu. the hard-line islamists control large parts of the country and their rule is unforgiving. somalia is a battered and lawless nation after 20 years of civil war. he managed to establish -- escape the horrors in his country but life in italy has been difficult. >> even animals are better to live. >> there is currently no ban on deporting refugees from germany to italy. the italian gover

the italians called a call to arms to war babies the first time around. when i visited the draft board i noticed my card was filed with a crease at it's corner. farther's laughter was louder than ever. clients who decided to buy had their paintings shipped to houses in the country. i noticed lucie hiding bags of sugar in the closet where i kept my tennis racket. to mother he repeated. don't worry, she replied, i do. i wonder if they rrmed they had a son at all. yet that month seemed to pass more slowly than others. rose's presence was fleeting. i passed by father's office as she sat by the type writer in a green sweater with a hole in the elbow. i found her in the bathroom once with a black tongue as a pen had burst when she licked it's anybody. i handed her a towel and said, just ruin the cloth. to the light in the courtyard i sang along with my new american record. there is a hungry yearning burning inside of me and i felt every word in the marrow of my bones. august said, i hate this cold porter so a played the album at a low volume and closed the wind

i am also a first generation sort of italian american. my dad came to this country and build a restaurant without much around him. he is not quite as larger than life as serio is, but making that documentary was sort of a way of reliving my own family dynamic. i actually had read an article in the new york times about the fact that le cirque was closing, and it was analyzing the extent to which that was a sort of cultural moment in the decline of old french cuisine in this country. the food world has revolutionized so much. i thought it would be an interesting moment to look at whether fine dining is dead in the united states, or dying. >> tell me if i am wrong, but this that resemble your family at all? >> my brother and i were kept much more in line, but i admire the way that the sons really fought back. it is a great window into an italian family. >> where is everybody today? >> there are still having great success with the new restaurant at the bloomberg building. mario is in las vegas and there is a new restaurant. the others are sti

named after the first italian queen, it comes with the colors of the italian flag -- red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese, and a garnish of green basil. italians who come to the states are not impressed by thick and fancy pizzas. judging from the enthusiasm of those munching these hot and tasty pies, what really matters is not the quantity of ingredients, but the quality.
