Louvre director Laurence des Cars acknowledged that security cameras were far from satisfactory
No camera covered Louvre wall where jewel thieves broke in, director says
PARIS– The Louvre failed to spot a gang of thieves early enough to stop the theft of €88m (£76m) worth of French crown jewels, the museum's director has revealed.Laurence des Cars, speaking publicly for the first time since the heist on Sunday, told French senators that CCTV around the Louvre's perimeter was weak and "aging".The only camera monitoring the exterior wall of the Louvre where they broke in was pointing away from the first-floor balcony that led to Gallery of Apollo housing the jewels, she said."We failed these jewels," she said, adding that no-one was protected from "brutal criminals– not even the Louvre".Ministers have given press conferences and interviews and denied security failings, but des Cars cut through that and admitted the Louvre had been...

PARIS — The Louvre Museum in Paris has reopened three days after jewellery worth 88 million euros (£76m; $102m) was stolen in a brazen daylight robbery.Visitors were welcomed back to the Louvre from 09:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Wednesday, but the museum said its Apollo Gallery - where the heist took place - remained closed.Thieves wielding power tools took less than eight minutes to break into the world's most-visited museum and make off with the loot on scooters on Sunday morning.

KYIV — Intense Russian drone and missile strikes on cities in Ukraine have left at least six people dead, including two children, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.Another 21 people were wounded, in another night of attacks that he said proved Moscow had not come under enough pressure for its continued war.Hours earlier, US President Donald Trump said his plans for an imminent summit in Budapest with Russia's Vladimir Putin had been shelved as he did not want a "wasted meeting".The Kremlin has rejected calls for a ceasefire along the current front lines made both Trump and European leaders.Meanwhile, Ukraine's military said it had attacked a Russian chemical plant in the Bryansk border region late on Tuesday with UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles.Calling the strike "a...

KYIV — The Ukrainian city of Chernihiv is in total blackout following what the authorities describe as a "massive" assault by Russian missiles and drones, with hundreds of thousands of people affected.Across the wider Chernihiv region, four people are reported to have been killed as residential neighbourhoods were struck in the town of Novhorod-Siverskyi.Ten others were injured, including a 10-year-old girl.The country's most northerly region is the latest to be hit in an intensifying series of attacks on civilian infrastructure as Russia targets energy supplies, the rail network, homes and businesses in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine."I personally heard the drones flying overhead," 55-year-old Oleksandr Babich said.The Chernihiv city resident spoke in matter-of-fact terms about...

Ukraine hits Russian chemical plant with UK-made Storm Shadow missiles
KYIV — Ukraine has hit a Russian chemical plant with UK-made Storm Shadow missiles, the Ukrainian military said on Tuesday.Calling the strike "a successful hit" that penetrated the Russian air defence system, Ukraine's general staff of the armed forces said they were still assessing the outcome of the "massive combined missile and air strike".The Kremlin has been warning the West not to give Ukraine weapons capable of long-range attacks, but Kyiv says it's imperative to target Russian facilities that play a key role in Moscow's war against Ukraine."The Bryansk Chemical Plant is a key facility of the aggressor state's military-industrial complex", the Ukrainian military said in an X post on Tuesday.It added that the plant "produces gunpowder, explosives and rocket fuel...

Trump says he did not want 'wasted meeting' after plan for Putin talks shelved
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has said he did not want a "wasted meeting" after a plan to have face-to-face talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin about the war in Ukraine were put on hold.The US president indicated that a key sticking point remained Moscow's refusal to cease fighting along the current front line, in remarks at the White House on Tuesday.Earlier, a White House official had said there were "no plans" for a Trump-Putin meeting "in the immediate future", after Trump said on Thursday that the two would hold talks in Budapest within two weeks.Key differences between US and Russian proposals for peace became increasingly clear this week, appearing to have dashed chances of a summit.Trump and Putin last met in Alaska in August, during a hastily organised summit...

PARIS — Nicolas Sarkozy became the first former French president in living memory to be imprisoned as he began serving a five-year sentence in Paris’ La Santé prison on Tuesday for criminal conspiracy in an attempt to use Libyan money to finance his 2007 election campaign.The president of France between 2007 and 2012, Sarkozy will serve his sentence in a prison that has housed some of the most well-known prisoners since the 1800s.They include Captain Alfred Dreyfus, wrongly convicted of treason in a famous antisemitism case, and Venezuelan militant known as Carlos the Jackal, who carried out multiple terrorist attacks on French soil.In an unprecedented judgment last month, the Paris judge ruled that Sarkozy would start to serve prison time without waiting for his appeal to be heard,...
