    It means something that you have been thinking about. "What's on your mind" is asking what you are thinking about, what is preoccupying you. "Something that's been on my mind" is something that I have been thinking about.

    What's (the) difference between demolish and destroy? They're pretty much synonymous in my ears, though demolish might connotate a building or construction being destroyed, while destroyed is more general. Though, honestly, they're so similar that in the vast majority of cases they can be used interchangeably.

    Io pensavo che la "ci si" significasse un verbo riflessivo, impersonale; quindi..."do you ask yourself", ma non sono sicuro.

    traduzione 1 Italian to English

    L’Italia richiama il suo ambasciatore al Cairo
    La decisione è stata presa dal ministro degli esteri, Paolo Gentiloni, dopo il fallimento del vertice di Roma con la procura egiziana sulle indagini sulla morte di Giulio Regeni, il ricercatore ritrovato con segni di tortura il 3 febbraio a Giza, nella periferia del Cairo. L’ambasciatore Maurizio Massari tornerà in Italia per consultazioni con il ministero. Ora la collaborazione tra le autorità giudiziarie dei due paesi può considerarsi di fatto interrotta.

    Italy calls back ambassador from Cairo
    The decision was made by Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni after
    the Rome summit and the Egyptian prosecutor investigations regarding Paolo Giuliani’s death, who(m) was an academic researcher revenued/found death dead and tortured in Giza in Cairo’s suburbs on February 3th rd failed.
    Ambassador Maurizio Massari will return in Italy to consult with its Minister. Now, the cooperation between the two countries’s public prosecutors can be considered “de facto” interrupted/terminated.


    While not a mistake per se, "and tortured in Giza in Cairo’s suburbs"  sounds slightly awkward. I would suggest saying something like "found dead and tortured in Cairo's suburb Giza on...."though even that sounds awkward as well.  

    Generally, the distance between "failed' and it's subject "the Roman summit" makes the sentence hard to follow. I would suggest following a similar path as the Italian bit, where we start off with "The decision was made after the failure of the Roman summit..."


    My word isn't law, but if I had to translate the text, I would translate it like this: 

    L’Italia richiama il suo ambasciatore al Cairo

    La decisione è stata presa dal ministro degli esteri, Paolo Gentiloni, dopo il fallimento del vertice di Roma con la procura egiziana sulle indagini sulla morte di Giulio Regeni, il ricercatore ritrovato con segni di tortura il 3 febbraio a Giza, nella periferia del Cairo. L’ambasciatore Maurizio Massari tornerà in Italia per consultazioni con il ministero. Ora la collaborazione tra le autorità giudiziarie dei due paesi può considerarsi di fatto interrotta.


    Italy calls back it's Ambassador to Cairo 

    The decision was made by Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni, after the failure of the summit between Rome and the Egyptian prosecution to reach an accord regarding the investigation into the death of Guilio Regini. The researcher was found dead with signs of torture on the 3rd of February in Giza, on the edge of Cairo. Ambassador Maurizio Massari will return to Italy to meet with the  Foreign Minister. At this point, the collaboration between the the two countries' prosecutions can be considered "de facto" discontinued.
