The episode opens with a welcome from the hosts and introduces the day's news stories. The first major report details a clandestine cigarette factory discovered in Gonars after a raid by Trieste's financial police. The factory produced counterfeit Marlboro cigarettes, with a total business volume estimated at 89 million euros, and smuggled them to countries like France, the UK, and Germany. Three men were arrested, including entrepreneur Moreno Kraljevic, and 26 others were reported for crimes like illegal association and clandestine labor. Twenty-one irregular immigrants from Moldova and Ukraine were found working in poor conditions. The next story announces the creation of a new dialysis center in Cividat within the operational complex of nephrology, dialysis, and kidney transplant at Udine Hospital. The facility, part of a project started in 2007, received over 7 million euros in funding and aims to offer dialysis in a more territorial context. It will be staffed by 22 operators with medical personnel from Udine Hospital. Another item covers the start of expansion works for the civil protection headquarters in Paular, with an investment of 200,000 euros to support 37 volunteers. The episode notes a 1.87% decrease in student numbers in regional schools, with 2,440 fewer students this year, highlighting a structural decline. A significant segment discusses a court overturning a 5.2 million euro public tender for blood components and stem cells, originally won by Grifols Italia Spa but later awarded to Roche Diagnostics Spa due to irregularities in the scoring process.
