News from abroad dominates the events of the past week. Above all, the death of Prince Philip of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years. The sovereign expressed her sorrow for the disappearance of her husband: 'It was my strength'. And throughout the week, Britain has been preparing for the prince's funeral taking place today, April 17, in St George's Chapel adjacent to Windsor Castle in compliance with strict anti-covid legislation. Russia instead commemorated the 60th anniversary of the first human flight into space by Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin. Monday 12 April was an important day for Great Britain: pubs and shops reopened after a long period of lockdown: many lined up in the streets.On Tuesday 13th Italian traders and restaurateurs protest against the closures imposed by the pandemic.
