THE REPUBLIC
Conte kicks off the campaign for the primaries: the letter from the leader of the M5s to Repubblica on woke throws the field out of whack.

LA GAZZETTA DELL'SPORT

Roma and Como to stay at the top, Milan and Juve without any more excuses are looking for revenge. Tennis, Sinner stays at home. The hard decision to give up the US Open: "I'm sad and disappointed, it takes time." Fear of knee injury, no Slam in New York.

SPORT COURIER
The anti-Cristians: the championship begins in single round number 95. After Inter's opening with Monza, Napoli and Como are immediately on top of the Italian champions. Chivu charges: "We are the team to beat. We're holding on to Lautaro." Allegri: "They are the favourites, but there are eight of us playing." Hojlund leads the attack. De Bruyne enters the race. Cesc warms up Paz and Liberals.

ALLSPORT
Off to the Serie A championship. Tardelli exclusive: "Kessié and Zirkzee, so Juve from the Scudetto. Nobody is like Inter, but if Spalletti completes the squad there is room for a head to head. Yildiz is not yet a leader. Watch out for Como and Fiorentina. Gasp will be a nuisance against Roma. Ok Allegri in Naples. The striker? Pellegrino". Via Perin and Di Gre, revolution in goal: Juventus is looking for a deputy assistant. Beltran of River Plate proposed, Musso also in the background. David puts his foot down: he wants to play it.

THE NEWSPAPER
"Donald and I, here's how it went": Meloni tells the New York Times about his relationship with the tycoon. "With Trump I hoped it would be easier. Will I hear from him? We'll see. I still believe in the united West", says the prime minister. And there is a clash with the opposition regarding returning migrants. Tennis, the knee betrays Sinner, no US Open: "I'm disappointed". It was a missed challenge with Alcaraz. Mps, Lovaglio presents offers of 25.3 and 8.7 billion on Bpm and Banca Generali. And Intesa is preparing the complaint to Consob.

IL SOLE 24 ORE
MPS launches the double offer in shares on Banco BPM and Banca Generali for a value of 34 billion (25.3 for Banco and 8.7 for B. Generali). Lovaglio: 80 billion group, friendly offers. Cold stock market: all stocks involved slide, Unipol rises. Second quarter earnings boom on Wall Street. The data, however, is less brilliant than it seems. Purely accounting items, such as the financial holdings of Alphabet and Amazon, boosted profitability.

FREE
American-style melons: from difficult relations with Trump, to the Pd-M5s lies on migrants and his vision of fascism, the prime minister speaks to the New York Times and still challenges the opposition. Interior Minister Piantedosi and the refugees: "Only twenty arrive from Europe a year...". Disappointment for Schlein and his companions. Ukraine, now Zelensky declares war on Masha and the Bear: sanctions on Russian cartoons. Interview with Cruciani: "Does the left take back wokeness? They're taking the piss out of us...".

TOMORROW
Big words fly between Israel and Türkiye. "Erdogan is an anti-Semitic dictator" according to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The violent attack in Ankara is Bibi's response to Turkey's decision to issue an international arrest order against him, which sees him accused of genocide, kidnapping and other crimes in a case relating to Israeli intervention in international waters against the Flotilla. This decision in turn comes after an escalation of tensions between the two countries.

THE DAILY FACT
"Congestion of blue flights for the three VIPs on holiday". Mattarella from Bolzano, La Russa from Catania and Fontana from Rome: all in Taranto to cut the ribbons at the Mediterranean Games. Meanwhile, Holland is also sending migrants back to us. But Prime Minister Meloni, interviewed by the New York Times, says: "The EU pact is a success. Trump? I thought it would be easier with him." Prison emptier, "idea of Nordio and the security rights": eight-year plea deal, but no jail time. Di Matteo: "The mafiosi are free too". Mps, real offer on Banca Generali and low for Bpm.

THE REFORMIST
The Trojan horse: the damage from the Ranucci case is not only personal, given that the conduct that emerged undermined the foundations of Viale Mazzini. Who now can't just say "Ranucci is Ranucci". Dubliners, Holland will also send migrants to Rome. Prime Minister Meloni: "The EU Pact protects us". Feminicides, Campione (Fratelli d'Italia): "It's useful to report it, woe betide you if you say the opposite". Middle East, arrest warrant from the Turks for Netanyahu. Trump's grip on Iran. Ukraine, Pirozzi (IAI): "Elections? Risk of raids on polling stations or foreign interference".

THE PAPER
Migrants and the invasion of populists: without responsibility there is no solidarity. Without solidarity there is no responsibility. The double mistake of the right and the left on migrants highlights the risks of peanut politics, which generates insecurity and not solutions. Banks, the patient Agricole: if Lovaglio's move goes through, the dominus will be French. Meloni can save NATO from Trump: Italy should assume European leadership against the related threats of Russia, Iran, China and North Korea.

THE NATION
Migrants, government's anger. Prime Minister Meloni: "The EU Pact protects us, it is not a boomerang for Italy". Interior Minister Piantedosi adds: "Sterile controversies, very low numbers". The Prime Minister, in an interview with the New York Times, also talks about Trump: "I thought it would be easier with him. Will I hear from him? We'll see." Flotilla case, Turkey calls for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Meanwhile, more clashes in the West Bank. Tennis, Sinner will not participate in the US Open due to problems with his right knee.
16/16
THE MANIFESTO
Authorities and prime minister in Taranto for the Mediterranean Games with half a government but without the ministers of labor and industry. Because steel is a black hole: the city doesn't believe in the Italian consortium. Meloni is silent on the plant destined for a slow death. Red zone, prohibited marches, a cry in the stadium: "Ilva kills!". Aisha Wahab beats Israeli dollars: Californian by-elections for the Dem exponent. She is the first member of Congress of Afghan origins.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Intesa will present a complaint to Consob on MPS's move.
