  1. Follow-up: Italy prepares to send 500 more troops to 'defend Milan'; luxury shops board up early

    Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said on Monday the cabinet would approve security measures deploying 500 more soldiers to 'defend Milan' after cost-of-living protests over the weekend turned into riots, with hundreds of masked youths — many reportedly minors — clashing with police and looting stores including Decathlon and Arc'teryx. On Via Monte Napoleone, Chanel, Tiffany, Dior and other shops cleared window displays and some closed early and boarded up windows as police stepped up patrols. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had already held an emergency security meeting and is considering expanding preventive detention of minors and other measures.
