Tragic loss: Witness who testified against mafia father takes her own life

A daring five‑minute heist at the Renoir museum in Cagnes‑sur‑Mer saw thieves seize four valuable paintings. Europol’s recent report confirms a sharp rise of bold, short‑duration museum burglaries across Europe. The trend favors small, portable treasures such as jewelry and precious metals, turning countless institutions into tempting targets. Experts warn that conventional high‑tech security is inadequate and call for heavy physical barriers and time‑delaying systems to buy law‑enforcement response time.

A top United Nations official has warned that Ukraine will face its toughest winter in the war since 2022, with risks of a humanitarian catastrophe if energy infrastructure is further damaged. Alexander De Croo, former Belgian Prime Minister and head of UNDP, accused Russia of a systematic campaign against Ukraine’s power network, potentially cutting off heating and water supplies amid temperatures that can fall to -20 °C. UNDP is working to repair damaged substations and build decentralised energy plants, but crews are forced to pause work frequently due to constant air-raid alarms. The UN stresses that the situation could bring large-scale suffering if critical systems fail before the cold season.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have seized the crucial island of Perim, vital to the Bab al‑Mandab Strait, and captured Mokha on the Red Sea coast. Their advance consolidates a nationalist grip on a major shipping lane that drives Saudi oil exports into Asia. While the group warns it will target Saudi vessels, the move has prompted calls from the Saudi Crown Prince for U.S. military action and has inflamed oil prices, pushing Brent above $100 a barrel. The United Nations and International Organization for Migration report tens of thousands of Yemenis displaced as the conflict rages on.
