Tunisian democracy group collects Nobel Peace Prize
Tunisia’s Nobel Peace Prize winners have set a global example that conflict can be avoided though dialogue and tolerance. The Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet received the prize yesterday. Nobel committee chairperson Kaci Kullmann Five said the Quartet helped pull the country back from civil war in 2013.
It is credited with creating a dialogue between the country’s Islamist and secular coalition parties. The Quartet, made up of the country’s key labour, legal, human rights and business organisations, was formed in 2013 at a time when the revolution that overthrew President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali in 2011 appeared to be unravelling.
Trade unionist Hassine Abassi, lawyer Mohamed Fadhel Mahfoudh, human rights activist Abdessatar Ben Moussa and business representative Ouided Bouchamaoui collected the award at a ceremony in Norway’s capital, Oslo.
Argentina’s new President Mauricio Macri vows to unite nation
Argentina, Mauricio Macri has been sworn in as new President, vowing to unite the nation and revive the economy.
The centre-right Mr Macri took the oath of office in Congress but his inauguration was boycotted by his predecessor, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, in a row over the venue.
This is the first time since the end of the military dictatorship in 1983 that a President has not attended the inauguration of a successor.
In his inaugural speech, Mr Macri vowed to tackle corruption, poverty and drug trafficking. He also pledged team work and an end to confrontation in politics.

In Italian, with subtitles in English
Guido and Antonia are a young couple: he is Tuscan and she is from Sicily. They meet during a concert by Antonia in a club in Rome, the city where they now live. He works as a night porter and is passionate about literature and ancient history, with an obsession for hagiographies; she works in a car hire place and continues writing songs and brooding the timid hope to return to singing in public. Their desire to have children leads them to try various streets and confront radically different environments and people. Guido e Antonia sono una coppia di giovani: toscano lui e siciliana lei, si sono conosciuti ad un concerto di quest’ultima, in un locale di Roma, città dove ora convivono. Lui lavora come portiere di notte ed è appassionato di letteratura e storia antica, con un pallino per le agiografie; lei lavora in un autonoleggio e continua a comporre canzoni e a covare la timida speranza di tornare a cantarle in pubblico. Il loro desiderio di avere figli li porta a provare varie strade e confrontarsi con ambienti e persone radicalmente diversi.
