1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Joe McKenna is in Italy for US. Joe, Good morning, 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Good morning Ryan. So Trump is talking about the Italian PM, 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: Georgia Maloney, saying she's a fantastic woman. 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 2: Yes, they've already forged a very strong relationship, which is 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: quite interesting, Ryan, because the Italian Prime Minister was the 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 2: only European leader present at his presidential inauguration in Washington, DC, 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 2: and she'd also been to see him at his retreat 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 2: in mar Lago in Florida just a couple of weeks ago. 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: So she is filling a vacuum because we're seeing so 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: much political upheaval in France and Germany at the moment. 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 2: She's positioning herself as the European leader, the go to leader. 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: But she's also got her eye on the big trade 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 2: surplus that Italy has with the US worth forty four 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 2: billion US dollars. If those tariffs go ahead that mister 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: Trump is threatening to impose, that's going to cost countries 16 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: like Italy a great deal of money. 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely. Let's talk about this report. So it's a commissioned 18 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: by the Catholic Church. Dozens of cases of clerical abuse 19 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: of kids in northern Italy that's over six decades. 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: Indeed, and although we've seen so much in the international 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: sphere in terms of clerical sexual abuse in Australia and 22 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: European countries in the US, there hasn't been that much 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 2: said in Italy about sexual abuse. And this report was 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: quite interesting. It was commissioned by a Catholic diocese. A 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: law firm conducted independent analysis and they found that priests 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 2: had abused fifty nine boys and girls, some as young 27 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: as eight, over a period of six decades. So it 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: is quite groundbreaking. But again you've still got to ask 29 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: what is being done to track down the offenders and 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: bring them to justice. 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: This board game that's making ways, what's wrong with it? 32 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: Well, there is a board game that's creating a bit 33 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: of an outcry in Italy. It's about it invites players 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: to compete for control of the mafia. So it's called 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: The Family the Great Mafia War, and it's produced by 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: a German creator and it simulates mafia wars that rocked 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: Sicily in the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties. Now, of 38 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: course there were many people killed there during those that period, 39 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: and one of the sisters, a sister of a judge 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: that was killed At that time, Giovanni Falcone said, this 41 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: is absolutely tasteless and offensive to invite participants to use 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: killings and car bombs to compete with each other. 43 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: Goodness, may it's aimed at kids or is it just. 44 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's aimed at all sorts of age groups. 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 2: It is quite quite interesting. 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Now I want to finish on this, but I'm sure 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: it won't take very long. This is the grandson of 48 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: Italy's last king. Was wanted to get intimate with his 49 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: girlfriend but needed some practice or some help. So what 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: did he do well? 51 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: This is a rare revelation from a former prince while 52 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: he's still a prince, but the royal family no longer 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: exists in Italy. He's a deposed prince who lives in Switzerland. 54 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: Lives in Wannaco, and he has revealed that he had 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: to hire a prostitute to teach him how to have 56 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: sex with his first girlfriend. He hasn't said when that was. 57 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: He's now fifty two and tells us that he's living 58 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: separately from his wife, but they still have a good relationship. 59 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: But he said he's always felt awkward about sex and 60 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 2: had to rely on a prostitute to show him what 61 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: to do. 62 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: But he's separated now from his wife. 63 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: Did you say, Well, he said they have a good 64 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: relationship because they don't live in the same place at 65 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: the same time. 66 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: Okay, not the first person. 67 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: To say that. 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: Maybe he's still practicing. 69 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: With you. 70 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: All right, thanks so much, you two.
