Two Renoir paintings stolen from French museum recovered

In a daring break‑in, masked thieves stole 30,000 bottles of high‑end red wine valued at about €5 million from the storeroom of Marchesi Antinori in Tuscany. The hit coincided with an overseas shipment, and the robbers disabled alarms and cameras before loading the cargo onto two trucks. CEO Renzo Cotarella called the crime the biggest wine theft in Italy’s history and urged authorities to trace the trucks on the heavily surveilled Tuscan roads. The stolen bottles include celebrated labels such as Tignanello, Solaia and Guado al Tasso that are sought by collectors worldwide. The incident follows a string of wine‑theft cases across Italy last year.

Olena Konoplia, a Kyiv resident, has chosen to relocate to a rural community two hours from the capital in response to mounting Russian attacks and the looming threat of sub‑zero temperatures. Russia’s targeting of Ukraine’s power grid has left many without electricity or heating, raising concerns for the harsh winter ahead. After weeks of searching, Olena settled on a cottage in a quiet village free of factories, warehouses and railway stations, hoping it will offer a safer environment. Her story highlights the human toll of the conflict and the urgent need for secure shelters as the war drags into colder months.

The latest anti‑immigration protests in South Africa turned violent on Thursday, with at least 24 cars set ablaze and several shops targeted in Soweto and Durban. Police fired rubber bullets and arrested three foreign nationals over alleged assaults. The unrest follows a Constitutional Court ruling that opened asylum applications for migrants who entered illegally, sparking fears of increased undocumented migration. Government officials have promised to refine the policy and investigate the violence, while community fears about job competition and public services persist.
