‘Emily in Paris' heads to Venice for part of season 5 shoot
Netflix's Emily in Paris is set to bring its fashionable escapades to a new city - Venice. The fifth season of the hit romantic comedy will partially film in the iconic Italian lagoon city between August 5–15, according to Luca Zaia, governor of the Veneto region. Zaia praised the development as 'extraordinary news,' noting that the shoot underscores the Veneto region's growing appeal for international film and television productions. Director Andrew Fleming is reportedly scouting Venetian locations with the support of the Veneto Film Commission and local production company 360 Degrees Film. Season 5 began filming in Rome earlier this year and returned to Paris in June. It picks up shortly after the events of Season 4, with Emily (played by Lily Collins) settling into her new life in Rome, balancing work at Agence Grateau's Italian office and a budding romance with Marcello, heir to a luxury cashmere brand. The addition of Venice adds a fresh layer of glamour and historic charm to the already globetrotting series, which previously turned Parisian cafés and Roman piazzas into tourist destinations. However, this latest location comes with a bit of controversy: Venice has recently drawn criticism for its growing reputation as a playground for the ultra-wealthy, following events like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's high-profile wedding. Emily in Paris, created by Darren Star and produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and Jax Media, continues to influence both pop culture and travel trends. As fans await the new season, Venice's canals and palazzos promise to offer a picturesque, and possibly dramatic, backdrop for Emily's next chapter.

Three Japanese nationals found guilty over PFAS pollution in Italy
An Italian court on Thursday found three Japanese nationals, including an ex-executive of a former subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corp., guilty over polluting water with PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals." The three were among 11 defendants sentenced to prison terms of between two years and 18 years over their roles in the PFAS contamination. According to media reports, two of the Japanese nationals were each sentenced to 16 years in prison, while the remaining national was given 11 years behind bars. A total of 15 people were indicted in the case. Four were found not guilty. The former Mitsubishi Corp. unit Miteni, which went bankrupt in 2018, produced PFAS, or perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, at its plant in the province of Vicenza in Veneto starting in the 1960s. Leaks of waste from the plant are believed to have led to widespread water and soil pollution. In 2013, the Italian government alerted Veneto about worrying levels of PFAS in its water supply, prompting the region to notify judicial authorities. The court also recognized the civil liability of individuals and corporations involved in the pollution, ordering the payment of over €60 million (about ¥10.2 billion) in total damages to citizens, the region and the central government. Veneto President Luca Zaia said that the court's recognition of environmental damage and water pollution was a step toward justice.

Italian chemical plant executives convicted in 'historic' water pollution trial
Eleven executives from companies including Japan's Mitsubishi and Luxembourg-based International Chemical Investors (ICIG) were convicted for contaminating nearly 200 square kilometres of drinking water and soil through the Miteni plant, near the city of Vicenza, Veneto. The court sentenced them to prison terms ranging from two years and eight months to 17 years. Four other defendants were acquitted. PFAS – or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – are a group of more than 10,000 human-made chemicals that repel heat, water, oil, and stains. PFAS have been used since the late 1940s to mass produce the nonstick, waterproof and stain-resistant materials that coat everything from frying pans and umbrellas to carpets and dental floss. But chronic exposure to even low levels of the chemicals has been linked to liver damage, high cholesterol, reduced immune responses, low birthweight and several types of cancer. PFAS' carbon-fluorine bonds take millennia to break down in the environment. The now-shuttered Miteni plant produced PFAS from 1968 until its closure due to bankruptcy in 2018. It leaked chemical waste into a waterway, polluting a vast area between Vicenza, Verona and Padova, according to prosecutors. The trial opened in 2021. Prosecutors had requested cumulative jail terms of 121 years. The court's sentence was even tougher, with a total of over 141 years. Hundreds of civil plaintiffs joined the trial, including environmental group Greenpeace and local mothers who united after discovering their families had the chemicals in their blood. Greenpeace Italy representative Chiara Campione called the ruling "historic" in a statement. The individuals and companies involved were sentenced to pay more than €6.5 million in damages to the Veneto region – a ruling welcomed by the president Luca Zaia. They will also have to pay €58 million in damages to the Italian environment ministry, according to media reports. In May, a court ruled that the death of a former plant worker who died of cancer in 2014 had been caused by prolonged exposure to PFAS. By AFP's Ella Ide.
