Artificial intelligence needs rules that safeguard human rights, Italian President Sergio Mattarella told the Festival of Regions and Autonomous Provinces in Florence. His intervention opens Italy's RaiNews bulletin, "Italian News in English," before the report turns to pressure on household budgets and demonstrations across the country.

Mattarella, who has held the presidency since 2015, frames AI regulation as a matter of protecting people as the technology develops. The bulletin reports his call without setting out a specific legislative proposal.

In Milan, the program covers a hearing concerning Youssef Siher, whom authorities accuse of leading the October 17 Movement and instigating riots during demonstrations. RaiNews reports that he was arrested on a charge of incitement to commit a crime aggravated by terrorist intent. The proceedings concern accusations, not a conviction.

The bulletin then follows continuing protests, including confrontations between police and demonstrators in Turin and Rome. Taxi drivers gather outside the Transport Ministry in Rome over energy costs and the wider cost of living, while grassroots unions plan another demonstration for Friday.

Reporting from a Naples gas station, correspondent Claudia Marra describes fuel prices exceeding two euros a liter. Mayors from nine major cities, including Rome's Roberto Gualtieri, appeal to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for measures to support families and businesses in the forthcoming budget. A report from Istat, Italy's national statistics institute, adds a broader picture of poverty and regional economic inequality.

Sport closes the bulletin. After Serie A victories for Inter, Juventus and Milan, the focus shifts to Kimi Antonelli's United States Grand Prix win in Austin. RaiNews says the Italian driver needs a top-nine finish in Mexico on November 1 to secure his first Formula 1 world championship.
