Renoir masterworks recovered after museum heist in southern France

A burglary at the historic Marchesi Antinori winery in Tuscany has left 30,000 bottles of premium red wine – worth roughly €5 million – missing. Seven masked men are believed to have disabled security systems and used the company’s forklifts to load two trucks of prized Tignanello, Solaia and Guado al Tasso vineyards. The CEO, Renzo Cotarella, described the theft as unprecedented in Italy and expressed confidence that authorities will recover at least some of the wine. The incident follows a rise in wine‑theft cases across Italy this year.

Olena Konoplia, a Kielb resident, has chosen to leave the city for a quiet rural cottage two hours outside Kyiv. Facing heightened Russian shelling and recurring power grid failures, she sought a safer, heat‑secure life. After weeks of careful selection, she settled on a small village free from factories, warehouses and rail lines. The move underscores how civilians seek refuge in the countryside to avoid the harsh winter conditions that Russian attacks risk leaving the capital power‑deprived.

Recent anti‑immigration demonstrations in South Africa have turned violent, with over two dozen vehicles set on fire and foreign‑owned shops looted in Soweto and Durban. The unrest follows a Constitutional Court ruling that allows some illegal migrants to apply for asylum, sparking anger among residents who fear it will encourage further undocumented migration. Police fired rubber bullets and arrested three foreign nationals amid clashes between South African nationals and migrants. The government says it will revise its policy to comply with the court decision while maintaining public safety. The outbreak is part of a long history of xenophobic violence across the country.
