New appointment, Monday 23 May, with the major Report inquiries, broadcast at 9.20pm on Rai 3 and RaiPlay – www.raiplay.it/dirette/rai3. It starts with the reportage “The black beast” by Paolo Mondani with the collaboration of Marco Bova and Roberto Persia and the consultancy Andrea Palladino. Thirty years after the death of Giovanni Falcone, documents and forgotten protagonists emerge capable of shedding new light on those facts. In Capaci, Cosa Nostra did not act alone: right-wing extremists and Mafia men, according to witnesses and documents found, would have been together again, after the years of the strategy of tension, in a deadly embrace that cost the lives of the Falcone and Purse. The two magistrates had the complete picture, and today, returning to listen to collaborators and former carabinieri, Report tries to reconstruct it. Following “The public vaccine that the West does not want”, by Manuele Bonaccorsi and Alessia Marzi. Cuba lacks milk, bread, soap. But the small Caribbean country, subjected to 60 years of very harsh embargo, managed to face the covid all by itself. Thanks to three vaccines designed and developed by the national biotechnology industry. An entirely public industry, yet capable of important scientific innovations. Today Cuba is the second country in the world by vaccination rate (after the Arab Emirates, which have an income 13 times higher) and above all the only one that has also vaccinated the infant population, aged 2 and up. Thanks to Soberana, produced by the Finlay Institute of Havana, and developed starting from the platform of a pediatric vaccine, with side effects close to zero. Result? Today Cuba has a very low rate of infections, and even the wave of Omicron on the Caribbean island has passed without causing damage. Now Soberana could also be imported into Europe, to complete the vaccination of the little ones, which has so far remained at stake. But the obstacles of the Brussels regulations could be insurmountable. In fact, also due to the embargo, Cuba cannot respect the good manufacturing practices imposed in Europe. And even the hypothesis of manufacturing it in Italy, in a cutting-edge company, may not be enough to overcome this obstacle. A wall that prevents developing countries, many of which capable of important scientific innovations, from accessing the rich pharmaceutical market of the first world. Finally, the investigation “Criminal trap” by Chiara De Luca. Trap is a sub-genre of rap music, very popular among young people, which tells the street life in a brutal and smug way. This style, born in the world of the American gangs of Atlanta, in Italy has been exploited by organized crime, some of the best known singers are close to mafia families. Report met some of the best known performers of this genre.
