A TUI plane was meant to fly from the south of Italy to the United Kingdom. But an unscheduled diversion meant it took a detour and stopped off in northern Africa. Passengers had to wait on the runway in Tunisia while the airline delivered a part for another plane. TUI passengers on board a flight from Italy to the UK found themselves unexpectedly diverted to northern Africa, where they remained on a runway for an hour while the airline delivered a plane part. Last December, TUI passengers were left stranded in the wrong country overnight, after their plane made an unscheduled stop due to staff scheduling issues.

Four people were still missing after Saturday's disaster in the port of Casamicciola Terme, with houses brought down and mud submerging the streets. Ischia, whose thermal baths and picturesque hilly coastline draw visitors from across the world, is also known for its rampant unauthorised construction - along with many other parts of the country. It said 600 unauthorised houses had been given a final order of demolition. Rescuers look for missing people, following a landslide on the Italian island of Ischia, Italy November 28, 2022. Granting amnesties for illegal construction put people at risk, he added.

Vladimir Russu este de părerea micul oraș antic construit în sec. Anume din acest motiv, ideea merită să se materializeze în România - țara care are nevoie să-și reconfirme ambițiile de stat puternic și respectat. Regulile, vestimentație, conduita, meniurile - toate vor fi exact ca în acele vremuri”, povestește cu entuziasm, Vladimir Russu. „Oamenii care vor cumpăra sau vor închiria o vilă acolo, vor avea intimitate ca să poată savura din plin liniștea regală care va domni în pădurea de cedri.
