Two British tourists among four dead after cable car crash in southern Italy
Two British tourists have died in a cable car crash near Naples. Italian news agency Ansa has reported that two British tourists and an Israeli national were among the four people who died in the crash on Thursday, at Monte Faito in the town of Castellammare di Stabia, citing Naples mayor Gaetano Manfredi. A traction cable snapped bringing cable cars to a halt, according to initial information. A fifth person, believed to be a foreign tourist, was seriously injured during the incident. A number of people had to be evacuated from another cable car. An investigation into multiple manslaughter and culpable disaster has been opened by Italian prosecutors, according to reports. In a translated post on social media, Vincenzo De Luca, president of Campania, called the day 'truly tragic and painful' and said his thoughts go to those who died, were injured and their families. He said he was grateful for the rescuers and said an investigation into what happened will be carried out. Luigi Vicinanza Sindaco, the mayor of Castellammare, said on Facebook that there will be a day of mourning and decided to cancel all initiatives for the Easter holidays. He added that a minute's silence would be held on Friday in memory of those who died. Firefighters, police and Italy's alpine rescue were sent to the scene, which is between the popular tourist areas of Pompeii and Sorrento. EAV public transport firm, which runs the cable car, said the service had reopened a week ago with all the required safety conditions. Checks were being carried out by investigators on the cable car and the possibility that strong wind was among the causes of the incident. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her condolences from Washington DC, where she met with US President Donald Trump. A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson said: 'We are dealing with an incident in Italy and are in contact with the local authorities. Our thoughts are with those affected. 'Our staff are available 24/7 to support British nationals abroad.'

Quake damages buildings, sparks panic in Italy's Naples
A 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck the volcanic area around Naples overnight, causing several light injuries, damaging buildings and sending terrified residents into the streets, officials said yesterday. The quake, which was followed by several much smaller tremors, was the biggest to hit the Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) area in southern Italy for 10 months. It occurred around 1:25 am (0025 GMT) at a depth of 2.5 kilometres, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), and raised residents from their beds. 'We can't go on like this, we can't sleep. We're scared,' one man told the Local Team news service in the middle of night in Bagnoli, a seaside district in western Naples. Images broadcast by Italian media showed car windows smashed by falling masonry and damage to a church in Bagnoli, where schools were closed yesterday. One women was hurt when her ceiling collapsed, while two or three other people went to hospital with cuts caused by shards of broken glass, according to Naples mayor Gaetano Manfredi. A total of 11 people went to emergency rooms of local hospitals but several 'were cases of panic', he told reporters. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she was constantly monitoring the situation and was in contact with the relevant officials.

Naples Struck by 4.4-Magnitude Quake Causing Minor Damage and Light Injuries
The southern Italian city of Naples was struck by a 4.4-magnitude quake early Thursday that caused only minor damage and sent 11 people to the hospital, the most serious suffering contusions after part of a ceiling collapsed, officials said. The quake was the strongest in recorded history around the Phlegrean Fields, a sprawling area of ancient volcanoes that covers a broad swath of the Naples metropolitan area. It matched the magnitude of another quake in the same area last May that has put the population on alert. Residents shaken awake by the early-morning quake sought safety in the streets, as they did in May. The temblor, which loosened stone and cement from some facades, was centered just offshore from Pozzuoli, a seaside suburb bordering Naples. Mayor Gaetano Manfredi told reporters that one church, a seven-story residential building and another building were declared off-limits due to damage, and some schools were closed as a precaution. Inspectors were checking buildings for further damage, Manfredi said. 'We are following with the greatest attention all of our structures, and are monitoring all events in real time,' the mayor said. In all, 11 people sought hospital treatment. One woman was injured after part of a ceiling fell, and several others suffered cuts from glass that broke in the quake, Manfredi said. Seismologists have reported a fresh increase in activity around the Phlegrean Fields over recent weeks. Authorities last summer conducted drills in preparation for a major emergency as the frequency of temblors increased. The area around the Phlegrean Fields, which encompasses western neighborhoods of Naples and its suburbs, is both seismically and volcanically active. The surface has been pushed up 1.3 meters (4.3 feet) since 2006, which is higher than prior to the last major event in 1984, but seismologists have emphasized it is impossible to predict when an eruption or stronger quake might occur. At least 500,000 people live in the zone most at risk should the volcano erupt. Italy's national institute for geophysics and vulcanology has called for a governmental plan to ensure that structures can withstand a quake of at least a magnitude 5.0. During the 1984 event, 40,000 residents were evacuated during a period of intense seismic activity as a precaution against a feared eruption that did not occur.
