Exercise two.

In today's edition of discuss the news, we're going to look at the decision by the Italian government to allow vigilante groups to patrol the streets of the country, thereby keeping crime in check.

In August two thousand nine, the Italian government introduced a law that legalized vigilante groups and regulated the conditions under which the groups must operate.

The main limitations are as follows:

• Vigilante members must be over eighteen.
• They cannot carry guns or any other weapons, and they are not allowed to wear police or military uniforms.

Their only piece of equipment will be a walkie-talkie, which connects them to the local police station.

The mayor of each town in Italy must decide if they want to have vigilante groups operating in their town. A number of mayors are strongly opposed to the decision, but such groups have already been introduced in a number of Italy's main metropolitan areas, especially in the north of the country.

Italian people are divided about the question. Some are in favor and some are against.

The Italian police force is completely against the decision.
