They're looking to young people 16 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 3: to really make the difference, and there are indications that 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: the younger ones are shifting to the right. So that 18 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: could work in the favor of candidates like the Prime 19 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 3: Minister Georgia Maloney. 20 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: Would be very interesting too, because that's good for democracy. 21 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: The more people that part take Ingria, which I know 22 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: not of Do you know of Ingria? What can you 23 00:00:59,160 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: tell me about Ingria? 24 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: I've never heard of this place before. 25 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: It's a tiny village until this week. It's a tiny 26 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: village in the mountains outside Turin, one of the smallest. 27 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: Initially only forty six count them inhabitants, but it has 28 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: thirty candidates running for local election this year this week, 29 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 3: and a couple of the candidates. 30 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 2: Are running against each other. They are mother and son 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: in opposition to each other. 32 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: So forty six people, thirty candidates to run Angria. 33 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, how does that work exactly? 34 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what final count is, but it's a 35 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 3: small town that really doesn't sound like it's got a 36 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: lot going on. 37 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: Actually, no exactly. Amanda Knox, I was reading about that 38 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 1: case yesterday. It seemed globally yesterday to make some fairly 39 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: significant headlines. Still after all of these years, and I 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: think she said when she went and wished me luck, 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: which it didn't seem to go well for a But 42 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: is it a big deal in Italy still? 43 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: I think it is. 44 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: Amanda Knox, of course, was found guilty and then acquitted 45 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: of the murder of the British student Meredith Kirscher, who 46 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: was killed in two thousand and seven, but at the 47 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 3: time she was also convicted for slandering a barman who 48 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: she wrongly accused of being involved in the murder. And 49 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: today the courts reconvicted her for that slander and she 50 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 3: was wiping away tears in court. 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 2: She was very upset. But his name is Patrick Lamumba. 52 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: He's a Congolese bar owner, and he was very pleased 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: with that result. 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, Haylos. And I was reading the other 55 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: day a piece about Lake Como and the place is 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: going to get in undated. And you've got a summer 57 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: coming up where you've never seen more tourists than people 58 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: in various parts of Italy, depending on where you are, 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: second tired a tourists. And we've discussed this before, places 60 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: like Venice. They were saying, lake Como, Yeah, they can't 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: cope with the traffic. You can't get an uber. I 62 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: didn't realize you didn't have ubers in Italy. 63 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: You can get ubers in in the big cities. You 64 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: do find Uber in Rome. 65 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: The taxi drivers pushed back on the expansion of Uber 66 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 3: in Italy. The cars that you find in Rome are 67 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: generally the black cars only, so they tend to be 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: quite expensive. 69 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: Exactly what they were saying, So what would happen is 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: you're calling an Uber and the car that turns up 71 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: tends to be an S class Mercedes and they're charging 72 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: you five hundred dollars to take your killometer down the road. 73 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: And the whole thing's a scam. But havn't you been 74 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: to Lake Como when you can't move and you can't 75 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: get a booking at the local restaurant and the lakers 76 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: filled with tourists on boats and stuff, is it still 77 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: worth going. 78 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: To I think it's still stunning. 79 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: Other people I know have been going to Lake Garda, 80 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: they say that's just as beautiful. 81 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: I haven't heard too much about Garda. 82 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: I haven't been to Garda myself, but I think Como 83 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: is still breathtaking and I would have it on my 84 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: list of places to see in Italy. 85 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: Fantastic, All right, Joe, nice to catch up with you. 86 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Go well, see you next Thursday.
