On this day, April 4th, 1949, NATO was founded, marking a pivotal moment in global security. Nearly 80 years later, however, the alliance’s future is being questioned by its most powerful member, the United States. To understand the significance of NATO’s formation, it’s worth revisiting the original signing ceremony with the 12 founding nations and the speech delivered by President Harry Truman. Fast forward to today, and tensions are rising, with the U.S. administration expressing frustration over NATO’s response to the situation with Iran. Even Marco Rubio, typically a less hawkish figure, has voiced concerns. To help us navigate these issues, we’re joined by Kurt Volker, a seasoned U.S. diplomat, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, and co-founder of the American University in Kyiv.

An Italian mafia boss, who was one of Italy’s most dangerous fugitives, has been arrested on murder charges after more than a year on the run, Italian police said on Saturday.

Roberto Mazzarella was the head of the notorious Mazzarella clan of the Camorra – the Naples-based organised crime gang.

Mazzarella was arrested on Friday night at a luxury €1,000-a-night villa on the Amalfi Coast, where he was with his wife and two children.

He “did not resist arrest” during a raid in the town of Vietri sul Mare in Salerno, police said in a statement.

Mazzarella was fourth on the interior ministry’s list of the most dangerous fugitives.

The 48-year-old had been on the run since 28 January 2025 when he was due to be arrested on murder charges for the killing of Antonio Maione in 2000 in San Giovanni a Teduccio. Maione’s brother Ivan confessed to the killing of Mazzarella’s father, Salvatore, in 1995.

Video released by police of the raid showed heavily armed officers in the seaside villa. The operation involved the Carabinieri investigative unit (Italy’s national military police), the Italian air force, and the Salerno coastguard patrol boat monitoring the surrounding waters.

Police said they found €20,000 in cash and three luxury watches during the raid, along with mobile phones and forged identity documents.

The Mazzarella family controls much of the smuggling and drug trafficking in Naples, as well as being involved in counterfeiting, and the laundering of proceeds via Milan and northern Italy.

The arrest was welcomed by lawmakers.

In a statement the Naples prefect, Michele di Bari, called the operation “an investigative success”.

He added: “The result of tireless fieldwork and the extraordinary professionalism of the judiciary and the carabinieri, which strongly reaffirms the presence of the state in the territory.

“This result brings to justice an individual of high criminal danger and restores to citizens a profound sense of security and legality.”

The president of the antimafia commission, Chiara Colosimo, wrote on X: ‘‘I express enormous satisfaction for the brilliant operation carried out.’’ Pina Picierno, the vice-president of the European parliament, said it was a “great victory for the state and a clear signal in the fight against mafias”.

Two further suspects, including a 17-year-old boy, have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a fatal collision in Barnsley on Friday afternoon.

This comes after two people, a 60-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman, were arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of murder after a man died after a collision in the Cudworth area of Barnsley. These two suspects remain in custody.

The boy and a 33-year-old man were arrested on Saturday on the same charge, according to South Yorkshire police. They are also in custody.

Emergency services responded to reports of a collision between a Volkswagen Touareg and a pedestrian on Rose Tree Avenue about 4.55pm on Friday, South Yorkshire police said in a statement.

The pedestrian, a 45-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.

His family have been informed and are receiving support from officers, police confirmed.

Det Ch Insp Simon Cartwright said: “Our investigation into this tragic incident is still in its early stages and our thoughts first and foremost are with the victim’s family, friends and loved ones.

“Detectives are working hard to piece together the circumstances of what happened and we would urge anyone with information to please get in touch with us.

“Officers will remain in Rose Tree Avenue carrying out further inquiries. If you have any concerns, queries or information you wish to share then please speak to our officers while they are in the area.”

A crime scene remains in place in the area as police carry out inquiries.

Anyone with information has been urged to contact South Yorkshire police or make an anonymous report to Crimestoppers, quoting incident number 689 of 3 April 3 2026.
