Marseille building collapses, rubble fire hinders rescue
MARSEILLE — A residential building in France’s port city of Marseille collapsed in a loud explosion early Sunday followed by a fire deep within the rubble that hindered rescue efforts.More than six hours after the collapse of the five-story building before 1 a.m., it was not known if anyone was killed.“We’re trying to drown the fire while preserving the lives of eventual victims under the rubble,” Marseille Fire Brigade Commander Lionel Mathieu said. The intense heat made it impossible to send in dog teams to search, he added.More than 100 firefighters were trying to put out blazes under huge piles of rubble in a slow and delicate operation aimed at keeping firefighters safe and trying not to harm people potentially trapped and not.“Firefighters are gauging minute by minute the...

Designer Paul Smith gives Paris museum a makeover to mark Picasso’s death
PARIS — Fifty years after the death of Pablo Picasso, British designer Paul Smith has taken over the Musée National Picasso-Paris to celebrate the renowned artist.The result is three floors of colorful rooms, making the painter’s work pop even more.“This is perhaps one of the most radical rooms that seem to be expected since there is the theme of the stripe that we know well from [Paul Smith’s] socks or jumpers,” Musée National Picasso-Paris director Cécile Debray said, explaining one element of the takeover.“But stripes that are obviously painted by hand in a very rapid way, almost in a brutal way, with very acid colors. These colors, in fact, are taken from or inspired by the Picasso paintings that are in this room, i.e. a series of portraits of women from the...

Ukraine to export electricity again after months of Russian attacks
KYIV —Ukraine is able to export electricity for the first time in six months as its energy infrastructure recovers from months of repeated Russian attacks.Russia began its lengthy and deliberate assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure last October. It led to power cuts and scheduled blackouts, leaving towns and cities in darkness during winter.Ukraine was forced to stop electricity exports — but will now be able to sell its excess power again.Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko signed an executive order authorizing the exports, although local customers remain the priority.He said the system had been producing extra capacity for almost two months and that Ukrainians were not facing restrictions. “The most difficult winter has passed,” Halushchenko said on Friday.“The next...

Immigration, EU policy and climate goals are biggest roadblocks to forming new Finland govt
HELSINKI — The dust is settling this weekend on the Finnish election result, which saw Sanna Marin’s left-wing Social Democrats pipped at the post by less than one percentage point by the right-wing National Coalition Party and the far-right populist Finns Party.But while some Finnish politicians might be taking time over the Easter weekend for holidays, others are working on the next steps to form a new coalition government.The party which won the elections, the National Coalition Party (or Kokoomus as it’s known locally) sends out questionnaires to the other parties asking for their positions on a range of key issues.It’s a bit like political speed dating.“The largest party, the Coalition Party, with its leader Petter Opro composes the key written questions, which are answered...

Welsh man gets tax bills for 11,000 Chinese firms
LONDON — When Dylan Davies went to check his post last November, 580 brown envelopes fell to the floor.Over the next six months he got tax bills for 11,000 Chinese companies after they fraudulently used his Cardiff address to register for VAT."It's been horrendous," said Davies, who got letters from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) demanding tax amounting to £500,000.HMRC admitted the situation did not raise alarm bells at the tax office."You'd think there'd be a systems with the technology today that would have picked it up immediately," Davies said.He told the police and HMRC but the brown letters just kept coming.When letters from debt collection agencies started to arrive, he got even more worried that bailiffs may come "charging the door down"...

King Charles supports research into British monarchy’s slavery links
LONDON — Britain’s King Charles III has shown his support for research into the British monarchy’s historical ties to transatlantic slavery, the UK’s Guardian newspaper reported Thursday, after it published a document which researchers say shows evidence of a stake in a slave-trading company belonging to King William III.The document, published by the Guardian as part of an investigation into the royal family’s historical involvement in the slave trade, shows a transfer of £1,000 of shares in the slave-trading Royal African Company to William III from 17th-century slave trader Edward Colston in 1689, the newspaper reported.Colston was the company’s deputy governor. In 2020, anti-racism protesters famously toppled a statue of the slave trader in Bristol, southwest England,...
