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. He is due to be removed from Italy under German police escort in the next few days.Prosecutors believe Kuznetsov coordinated and led a group that planted explosives on the pipes deep beneath the Baltic Sea in 2022, though they have not disclosed any evidence.The case has serious implications for relations between Ukraine and Germany, which is the biggest source of military aid for Kyiv in Europe.Kuznetsov's lawyer said his client "feels like a scapegoat" and is "very sad" that his...

Private notes and secret documents tell the inside story of UK's Covid response
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.

Belgium buys Latvian-made drone interceptors after string of incursions
BRUSSELS — Belgium has struck a deal to buy Latvian-made drone interceptors, the defence ministry said, after a series of incursions near Belgian airports, military bases, and a nuclear plant.The Belgian defence ministry said the defensive kamikaze drones will be acquired from Latvian company Origin Robotics as part of a €50 million anti-drone package.
