Europol reports that robberies at European museums are becoming more violent, with thieves using weapons like guns, axes, and explosives. These crimes often target valuable items such as gold, jewellery, and ancient artefacts, and involve new, loosely connected criminal groups.
Key Facts
Museum thefts in Europe are increasingly violent, involving weapons and explosives.
Thieves target precious metals, jewellery, and ancient Chinese porcelain.
New criminal groups often recruit locally through social media and act without strong connections.
Some museum robberies involve assaults on staff and threats to visitors.
In January 2025, Dacian artefacts were stolen in the Netherlands but later recovered.
A 2024 heist in Paris involved thieves using baseball bats and axes to steal gold and diamond items.
The October 2025 Louvre theft involved breaking windows, threatening guards, and stealing jewellery worth about €88 million.
Europol suggests some criminals see museum heists as a profitable, low-risk crime and may rent out thieves for such jobs.

A new study shows that people living near dry cleaners in the U.S. may have a higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The closer someone lives to a dry cleaner, the greater the risk appears to be.
Key Facts
The study looked at Medicare records for nearly 19 million older adults across the U.S.
People living within about 500 feet of a dry cleaner had a 14% higher chance of developing Parkinson’s disease.
Dry cleaners historically used chemicals called trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), which may increase the risk of Parkinson’s.
TCE has mostly been phased out, but PCE can break down into TCE once underground.
These chemicals can stay in soil and groundwater for many years.
The highest risks were seen in areas like southeastern Illinois, the Tennessee-Kentucky border, and Dallas, Texas.
The study shows a link but does not prove that living near dry cleaners causes Parkinson’s disease.
Experts say the disease likely results from a mix of aging, genetics, and environmental factors.

The United Kingdom will help Ukraine produce long-range missiles by sharing secret technical details about British parts used in the SCALP missile. This step aims to enable Ukraine to assemble these missiles locally, supporting its defense efforts amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Key Facts
The UK will share classified technical information about British components of the SCALP missile with Ukraine.
The SCALP missile is similar to the UK’s Storm Shadow missile; both have a range of over 250 kilometers (155 miles) and are very accurate.
SCALP and Storm Shadow missiles are designed to hit fixed targets like bunkers and important infrastructure.
Ukraine and France are working on setting up missile assembly lines within Ukraine to build these weapons locally.
The effectiveness of this support depends on how quickly Ukraine can start assembling and using these missiles.
Britain began supplying Ukraine with longer-range missiles in 2023, giving Ukraine the ability to target deeper into Russian territory.
Russian officials criticized the UK's decision, but UK leaders defended the move as necessary support for Ukraine.
Ukraine is currently facing shortages of Patriot interceptor missiles, which complicates its defense against Russian attacks.

A watchdog criticized Australian federal police for wrongly arresting and searching a 17-year-old Indigenous boy after mistaking him for a burglary suspect. The report called for clearer rules on racial profiling and better police practices when interacting with Indigenous people.
Key Facts
Police stopped a bus in Canberra and pulled guns on a 17-year-old Indigenous boy named Jay, mistaking him for a suspect.
Jay was arrested, handcuffed, and searched but released less than 90 seconds later when the mistake was realized.
After his release, police searched Jay again without legal justification.
The ombudsman found no proof that race caused more force to be used but said police lack a clear definition of racial profiling.
The description of the burglary suspect included "Aboriginal male," which the report said was an unhelpful and outdated stereotype.
The incident lasted under four minutes but had serious effects on Jay, his family, and the community’s trust in police.
Recommendations include using objective descriptions instead of race and providing better guidance to police officers in command roles.
The Australian Federal Police accepted the need to define racial profiling clearly according to anti-discrimination laws.

The UK government plans to introduce restriction zones for serious offenders released from prison to keep them in specific areas. Survivors of violent crime and campaigners have criticized the Ministry of Justice for announcing the plan without giving clear details about how it will work.
Key Facts
The UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ) will start restriction zones in October for serious sexual and violent offenders in England and Wales.
Offenders will be confined to small areas of a few miles and monitored by electronic tags.
Victims will have input in setting the boundaries of the zones.
Campaigners say the government announced the plan too soon without explaining key details.
Questions remain about which offenders qualify, how the system will be managed, and what happens if offenders break the rules.
Survivors and families want the zones to be far away from victims to reduce fear and risk.
The MoJ calls this a “world first” and a stronger version of “exclusion zones” that currently ban offenders from specific places like a victim’s home.
Campaigners have requested meetings with the government to discuss the system but have not yet received a response.

Key Facts
English will be taught in the third year of primary school beginning in 2026-2027, before French is introduced in the fourth year.

There are concerns about having enough trained teachers and preparation to carry out this language transition smoothly.
Language policy in Algeria has historically been political, linked to national identity and independence from French colonial rule.
