04.06.2025The day parliament passed security law amid prison riots
The Meloni-Macron diplomatic reconciliation from previous days culminated in renewed European cooperation talks, while Trump's 50% steel and aluminum tariffs took effect overnight. Parliament's security decree passage triggered dramatic protests, with opposition senators staging floor sit-ins against the government's confidence vote blocking 131 amendments.

A major fire erupted at Viterbo's University of Tuscia, engulfing the Agriculture faculty roof with one worker initially missing but later found alive. Simultaneously, dozens of inmates rioted at Genoa's Marassi prison, with some reaching the roof and injuring guards.

Trump's phone conversation with Putin revealed Moscow's refusal to pursue immediate peace, with the Russian leader demanding retaliation for Ukrainian attacks. Putin separately contacted Pope Francis, with the Vatican urging "a gesture for peace." Sinner dominated at Roland Garros, defeating Bublik 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 to reach the semifinals.
