Italy to extradite Nord Stream blast suspect to Germany
ROME — Italy's top appeals court has ruled that a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany should be extradited to Berlin.There, former Ukrainian military officer Serhiy Kuznetsov will face a charge of anti-constitutional sabotage.

LONDON — It was the most momentous event in UK history since World War Two. As a new virus took hold, millions of us were told to stay at home and billions of pounds were spent propping up the country's economy.The Covid inquiry will publish its second set of findings later Thursday, looking in detail at the huge political choices made at the time — including how lockdowns were introduced, the closure of businesses and schools, and bringing in previously unthinkable social restrictions."Did the government serve the people well, or did it fail them?" asked the lead counsel at the start of this part of the inquiry in 2023.
