How London hotel sting caught Swiss museum heist thieves
GENEVA — On the night of June 1, 2019, a grey Renault Koleos pulled up outside Geneva's Museum of Far Eastern Art.Three men wearing ski masks, dark clothing and gloves got out and walked up the steps to the solid, wooden front door.Dotted across four floors of an elegant 19th-Century townhouse, the museum — also known as the Baur Foundation — hosts an extensive, world-renowned collection of Chinese and Japanese artefacts.The silence was shattered by the sound of a power tool as the gang took a saw and crowbar to the front door.Once they had crawled through their man-made hole they sprinted to display cases containing items from the imperial Ming Dynasty era, dating from the 14th Century.After smashing the cases and cabinets they grabbed two bowls and a vase, scurried back to the...

MEPs threaten legal action if European Commission unfreezes more funds for Hungary
BRUSSELS — In a scathing resolution, Members of the European Parliament threatened to launch legal action against the European Commission if the executive releases further frozen funds to Hungary.The text, approved on Thursday afternoon with 345 votes in favor, 104 against and 29 abstentions, comes a month after the Commission unblocked €10.2 billion in cohesion funds for Hungary, allowing the country to request reimbursements of that sum.The funds were unfrozen after Budapest made judicial reforms in May to strengthen judicial independence and mitigate political interference in the courts, responding to the conditions -- known as "super milestones" -- that Brussels had imposed.The Commission is still withholding €11.5 billion from Hungary's allocated share of cohesion...

British lawmakers pass Sunak’s controversial Rwanda asylum plan
LONDON — The British parliament has approved a controversial bill to allow the country to send refugees arriving in the UK to Rwanda, in east Africa, as the government overcame rebels in its own party and defied critics who warn the bill breaches international law.Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government won the vote in parliament by a majority of 320 to 276. The victory was a huge relief for Sunak: only 24 hours earlier 60 of his own Conservative MPs had rebelled by backing amendments to strengthen the bill. The amendments were defeated, causing concern that these MPs would also rebel on the main bill.The Rwanda Safety Bill is supposed to end legal challenges that have thus far prevented Britain from sending refugees to Rwanda, after the two countries struck a deal back in 2022. The...

Finland goes to the polls as advance voting gets underway in close presidential race
HELSINKI — Finns head to the polls this week with advance voting open in the presidential election, while the main ballot takes place at the end of the month.Voting patterns suggest a third of voters at home and abroad could cast their ballots ahead of 28 January, with Finns overseas also eligible to vote during this period.From a field of nine candidates, two have emerged as clear favourites to go through to a second round of voting in mid-February, although a late surge from the far-right candidate could still be a surprise upset.Two former foreign ministers, Alex Stubb from the ruling right-wing National Coalition Party (known locally as Kokoomus) and Pekka Haavisto, a Green politician, have been clearly ahead of the field in opinion polls in a long campaign that has seen the...
