Cold War's winds have hit on Russian-American relations. On May 14, the Russian secret service arrested in Moscow one American "007" of CIA, later identified as Ryan C. Fogle. Fogle, undercover as a member of the American Embassy, is accused of having attempted recruitment of informants and contacts on behalf of the Agency. Apparently his equipment consisted of a large sum of money used for enrollment, a diplomatic passport, and some kit of tricks and wigs to change rapidly identity.

Moreover, according to the Russian network "Russia Today" on Fogle was found a piece of paper with which he promised more than 100 thousand dollars in exchange for information. Declared "persona non grata", Fogle was returned to the U.S. Embassy, but tough was the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federation who has held the CIA operation as a "provocative action in the spirit of the Cold War."

Syrian civil war seems able to drag Turkey into its vortex. Yesterday early afternoon, Saturday 11 April, Twin car bombs exploded in Reyhanli, Turkish south-eastern town closed to Syrian border and important destination for Syrian refugees escaping from Assad’s regime. At present, 42 Turkish died, 100 were wounded and 13 Syrian fall victims too. 

Tension is increased in the Middle East, from the drone shooting down on 25 April to the airstrikes in Syrian territory on Jamraya and Al Saboura; those events undermined the unstable geopolitical balance.

At present, it is a wide spread news: Domenico Quirico, Italian reporter for La Stampa, is missing. He left Italy on Friday 5 April headed to Homs (Syria) in order to depicture the atrocity of Syrian civil war. According to the newspaper itself revealed, Quirico waited in Beirut (Lebanon) for his sources and he left the day after (Saturday, 6) toward Syrian frontier. The same day at 6:10 pm he confirmed to his head office he was in Syria and two days later he called home confirming his position to his wife too. Last contact is dated 9 April when he sent a text message to a RAI colleague in which he declared he was on the way toward Homs. No more updates henceforward.
