[laughs] i'm stanley tucci, i'm fascinated by my italian heritage. so, i'm travelling across italy to discover how the food, in each of this countries twenty regions, is as unique as the people and their past. the creations of famous tuscans are known the world over. michelangelo, i think if he were to come back today, he'd be able to walk around florence. it hasn't changed. but it's the hands of the ordinary people... >> chef: we fold it like this. ...that have crafted the incredible food here. it's like a christmas in your mouth, yeah. this is a place built on human ingenuity, mind-boggling riches and an insane amount of

and that hasn't been seen here in italy for some time. and it's also significant because it also shows us the 2 different italy's between 2019 and now 20212019. we had mateo 70, the rising powerful right wing figure who had come in to power promising to be tough on immigration, ruled as a vice prime minister even, and said he's carrying out what the government had asked him to do. and that is to keep a migrant out of italian territory, or he is deflecting a bit saying he shouldn't be held accountable for his decisions to do that and block this ship taking port. but this is also taking place. as i mentioned in this italy of 2021 which the pandemic is the preeminent issue, not migration, not the refugee crisis in the mediterranean. and we see mateo saline trying to stay relevant for his right wing supporters walk. he has an opponent rising in the right sometimes out performing him in polls. so while he has a foot in the government, he's still a member of the ruling coalition right now headed by a center, right leader mateo. froggy isadine i

and that hasn't been seen here in italy for some time. and it's also significant because it also shows us the 2 different italy between 2019, and now 20212019 we had my tails have been e, the rising powerful. right. we figure who had come into power promising to be tough on immigration, ruled as a vice prime minister even, and said he's carrying out what the government had asked him to do, and that is to keep it migrant out of italian territory. so he is deflecting a bit, saying he shouldn't be held accountable for his decision to do that and block this ship taking port. but this is also taking place. as i mentioned in this italy of 2021 which depend demik is the pre eminent issue. so it, he's in a typical position because he has to maintain relevant to what we're seeing as him . embracing this hearing, trying to bring back migration as a pivotal issue here in italy. we're right now we're, we're seeing millions of times so you know what the big issue now is getting back to work, making sure everyone say and getting the economy going. and

maybe it's to show that he still maintains this strong opposition to immigration here in italy. and that he still has the political savvy inability to push aside any challenge. yours to that leadership position on the right. that's what he's hoping for. emily, while we were white and say thank you for your update throughout the day, adam rainy they live for us in run. rival rallies, taking place in hungary as the country marks the 65th anniversary of the uprising against the soviet union. thousands of pro government supported marching through budapest prime minister victor oberon is set to address the crown and opposition lead events will start later in poland. mother and mothers have gathered to show solidarity with migrants strapped to the border with bella. ruth, the e. u accuses authorities in the bellows capital wings of deliberately lifting and cross into the block in what is being cold or what's being described as hybrid warfare. issue of how to deal with the crisis was a major topic at a 2 day latest summit. but there appears to have been a little consensus that bethany

the trial of italy's former interior minister mateo saline began on saturday in palermo. he stands charged with kidnapping, in dereliction of duty for preventing a boat from disembarking migrants after they were rescued at sea. the court quickly approved the prosecution's list of witnesses, including italy's former prime minister and the actor richard gear, who volunteered on the boat that was blocked from docking and defending the borders is a duty not only for a minister, but for everyone. and it's emphasized in our constitution, i think being accused of doing my homework is nonsense. i'm sorry that richard year is coming to testify the trial. i wonder if it's serious that richard gear of hollywood is going to testify about my behavior at a trial. at the heart of the case is having these 2019 order to block that boat, which was carrying a 147 migrants from docking on italian shores. the vessel operated by the spanish in geo open arms had rescued the migrants in the middle of the mediterranean and spent 3 weeks waiting for a safe port so they could disembark. my things i

all across italy. starting from today, that's that every worker both in the private and in the public sector will need to show a green pass certificate to access their workplaces and therefore to go to work. what is a green pass? well, either proof you've been vaccinated or received at least a dose of the vaccinations anti-covid-19, or that that you recently tested information to covid-19. if a worker doesn't you can't go to work if the worker doesn't get it within five days starting from today, well, they risk to be suspended without pay. also, if they do access their workplaces somehow, perhaps showing a green pass from someone else, or lying about it, well, there is a fine up to $1,700. as you may imagine this hasn't gone down well with a few italians. not too many. because 85% of the population here at least received one dose in italy. but there is a small minority minority of italians who don't approve it and protested against the rule in the past days and weeks. so far that hasn't caused any majo

how is the relationship with italy right now? >> i think that, you know, italy historically and especially this prime minister, mario draghi, sees the relationship with the united states as critical. when mar row draghi came in as prime minister in february, in his first speech, he said, we are committed to the atlantic alliance. it was a very clear restatement of where italy's foreign policy commitments lie. i think italy is very, very committed to that. obviously there have been these tensions with france, you know, as was mentioned and, you know, the nuclear sub deal, and that mending between that relationship is going to have to occur this weekend between biden and president macron of france. where italy is obviously stuck in -- like other european allies, stuck in a little bit of a situation where it has to balance those relationships. >> and the chaotic u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan certainly did not help improve that overall relationship. >> yes, that was a big shock to european leaders, including, i think, italian dipl
