GHEDDAFI, DISCORSO INTEGRALE - DALL'ITALIA ARMI AI CIVILI

Berlusconi tells Gaddafi Italy did not arm demonstrators

Rome - Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi on Tuesday telephoned Moamer Gaddafi to reportedly deny a claim made earlier by the Libyan leader that anti-government demonstrators had been armed with rockets supplied by Italy.

According to a statement issued by Berlusconi's office, the call was made following a televised afternoon address by the embattled Gaddafi, in which he said he would not stand down and that protesters would be executed.

The Libyan leader, branding the protesters 'terrorists,' also accused the US and Italy of supplying them with 'rockets.'

Berlusconi's office did not specify the contents of the telephone conversation, but the ANSA news agency, citing Italian government sources, said the premier had 'flatly denied' any Italian involvement in supplying weapons to the demonstrators.

Berlusconi, who in recent years has sought closer ties between Italy and Libya through a personal friendship with Gaddafi, also appealed for a peaceful solution to the disturbances in which hundreds of demonstrators are believed to have been killed by Libyan security forces.

On Monday, Berlusconi had joined other European Union leaders in condemning the violence against civilians.

In 2008 Berlusconi and Gaddafi signed a controversial Italy-Libya friendship agreement, in which Italy promised 5 billion dollars to compensate the North African country for transgressions during three decades of Italian colonial rule during the first half of the 20th century.

In exchange, Gaddafi pledged to assist Italy's conservative government curb illegal immigration across the Mediterranean, by accepting the immediate deportation to Libya of migrants intercepted in international waters.

Critics, including the United Nations and the Catholic Church, say the deal violates the rights of asylum seekers since the deportations take place without establishing whether the people involved are eligible for refugee status.

LACK OF SLEEP 'RAISES RISK OF STROKE, HEART ATTACK'

ANSA) - Rome, February 8 - Lack of sleep raises the risk of dying of a stroke or heart attack, according to an Italian researcher working in the UK.

Sleeping less than six hours a night, going to bed too late or waking up too early and other sleep disturbances are a "time bomb" for human health, Francesco Cappuccio of Warwick University says in a study published in the European Heart Journal.

Cappuccio's team monitored the health of more than 470,000 people in eight countries over 7-25 years and found that sleeping less than six hours a night is associated with a 48% higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a 15% increase in the risk of strokes.

This confirmed the findings of a previous study of Cappuccio's in the journal Sleep, which said not getting enough sleep raised the prospect of an early death by 12%.

Sleeping too little triggers the production of hormones such as stress hormones and other damaging chemical substances which can "poison" the cardiovascular system, Cappuccio maintains.

But too much sleep may also bring health risks, he adds.

"By making sure you sleep around seven hours a night, you'll protect your future health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases," Cappuccio says.

"Sleep as much as you need to stay healthy and live longer," the Italian researcher recommends. photo: actress Tilda Swinton in 'Sleeping Beauty' performance in Rome in 1996.
