the inconveniences

Cagliari-Milan flight: Engine problems and the plane turns back. Aeroitalia: "No safety impact."

The initial checks did not reveal anything abnormal but the pilot, as a precaution, decided to return to Elmas, the passengers were rescheduled

the interview

Roberto Saviano: "This is how Sardinian gangs attack armored vans."

The Neapolitan writer recently spoke at the Massimo Theater in Cagliari: "Talking about organized crime doesn't mean speaking ill of a land. Mine, ours, yours."

the focus

Rain and snow in Sardinia, but the reservoirs are empty: restrictions remain in place.

Only 32% of reserves remain in the reservoirs; since Friday, clouds have brought a total of just 5 million cubic meters of water: "There is concern."

the story

Mom and Dad fell in love with Sardinia and Maria Giulia was born in a hotel in Poetto.

She, a 21-year-old Brazilian, and he, a 23-year-old, were in a hotel waiting to move into the house they had chosen to raise their children after a holiday on the island: the new arrival was in a great hurry

the disservice

Broken pipes and disruptions in Quartu, Milia calls Abbanoa: "Enough is enough, solutions are needed now."

Two breakdowns in two days, leaving the city without water and schools closed: the mayor calls the chairman of the board of directors: "Let them tell us what the causes are and resolve them as soon as possible."

The accident

Orgosolo: Car overturns on Highway 389, injuring a woman from Gairo.

The crash was probably caused by slippery asphalt following a heavy downpour. The woman was taken to the San Francesco hospital in Nuoro for further tests.
