Italy’s national railroad filed a formal complaint with law enforcement authorities Wednesday alleging that power outages up and down the peninsula that have caused days of train delays were suspicious. Luca Ciriani, minister for relations with parliament, acknowledged the inconveniences but said the problems weren’t chronic and that the recent delays were not exceptional. The chaos on Italy’s rail system has become a political headache for Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, with the opposition lawmakers accusing him of neglecting his job to angle for other, higher profile ministries.

The National Weather Service warned Tuesday that the combination of high winds and severely dry conditions have created a “particularly dangerous situation” in which any new fire could explode in size. The advisory, which runs into Wednesday, didn’t mention tornadoes, but meteorologist Todd Hall said they're possible given the extreme conditions.

Kenyan minister says son was abducted by intelligence service
A Kenyan cabinet minister said his son's abduction during last year's anti-government protests was carried out by the National Intelligence Service and that his son was released after President William Ruto personally intervened. Minister of Public Service Justin Muturi's allegation, made in an official written statement to the police on Tuesday, is the first direct information to indicate Ruto was made aware of who was behind at least some of the alleged abductions of dozens of anti-government activists that began last June. In his statement to the police's Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Muturi described driving to the presidential residence on June 23, 2024, to see Ruto after his son, Leslie, was taken by "armed, hooded gangsters".
