Courier, Repubblica and the others forgot about the 29th anniversary of the massacre in China, but they told us about the anti-robot strike in Las Vegas, Nobel Prize winner Malala's defense of university hangovers, a new drink from Japan, ecc.

But not a word about the tragic events in Tiananmen Square. Read More
