The museum launched a campaign this summer to track down nearly 400 works looted during World War II. It created “Wanted” posters with images of lost art, plastering them in and around the city of Orléans and flooding the internet. Now, the first case has been solved.

An amateur sleuth in France discovered one of the looted paintings last month in Switzerland, as it was set for sale. Now instead of being put up for auction, “The Drinker,” a 17th-century work by the Dutch artist Willem Cornelisz Duyster, will soon be returned to Orléans.

Somalia is dealing with multiple crises, with political rivalries that have descended into violent clashes, while the government loses international support for its fight against the powerful Islamist insurgent group, Al-Shabaab.

President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has tried to move Somalia towards fully democratic elections, replacing the clan-based system in which elders pick their representatives.

But his opponents see the reforms as a power grab, especially after the president declared a "transition period" that gave him an extra year in office when his term ended in May.

About 600,000 Nvidia H200 artificial intelligence chips remain stored in Hong Kong, awaiting shipment to mainland China as Beijing has yet to approve large-scale imports despite strong demand from Chinese technology companies.

The previously unreported stockpile reflects Beijing’s reluctance to deepen the country’s reliance on U.S. technology. At the same time, Chinese companies still need Nvidia’s advanced computing power to meet growing demand for AI services, creating tension between the government’s long-term technological ambitions and the industry’s immediate requirements.

The ELN is Colombia’s oldest surviving leftist rebel group and a known cocaine trafficker that controls territory in both Colombia and Venezuela.

Colombia’s president, Abelardo De La Espriella, denounced the attack on the military base, which came the day after authorities arrested an ELN leader expert in illicit finances, known as Carrito, in the area. The president pledged to continue hunting the traffickers.

Amnesty International recorded 96 executions in Saudi Arabia between January 1 and June 22, 2026, of which 61 were for drug-related offenses. Of these, 39 were foreign nationals. Meanwhile, between January and August 2026, Human Rights Watch documented that at least 20 Ethiopian citizens had been executed for drug trafficking (the last three on July 31) and that at least another 76 of the same nationality face imminent risk of execution. Every time Tesfay says goodbye after a phone call, neither he nor anyone else knows if he’ll ever be able to get in touch again. The young man also doesn’t know when his turn to die will come. He says there were 68 death row inmates in his wing when he arrived. Today, there are 55 left.

Old showerhead always came out with little pressure and unevenly. Cleaning didn't help much so I looked for a new one. I found a seller that manufactured locally and specialized in showerheads. Much better than the attractive plastic junk from the box stores.

It was an easy change and it makes a big difference.

The revelations come amid serious accusations Rodriguez has leveled against her former boss, whom she has linked to an alleged network of women who received government contracts in exchange for sexual favors. The former official also claims she was the target of an attempted poisoning in retaliation for her allegations, a matter that, according to her legal team, has already been brought to the attention of the Attorney General’s Office.

The newly disclosed evidence could increase judicial and political pressure on the former president in an extraordinary case that grows more tangled by the day.

A museum dedicated to Moroccan Jewish culture has officially opened its doors to the public in Fez, a city which was a center of culture, learning and spirituality since the ninth century.

The museum, which is located in the old Jewish quarter, was officially inaugurated on Monday with a ceremony that included political and religious figures.

Home to great minds such as the 12th-century philosopher and jurist Ibn Rushd and his contemporary, the physician and codifier of Jewish law Maimonides, Fez was shaped by Jewish, Arab, Amazigh, Spanish and French cultures.

It's that shared history that the museum aims to highlight, said President of the National Foundation of Museums, Mehdi Qotbi.

After more than three years of civil war, the UN estimates that 15.4 million people need emergency shelter and essential household items. But UN agencies said they had only been able to target 10% of those in need because of funding shortages.

And out of those, "we could reach only 900,000 people," said Mohamed Refaat, the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) chief of mission in Sudan.

Prosecutors in Paraguay charged the former president, Santiago Peña, with breach of trust and using his office to enrich himself, the public prosecutor’s office announced on Saturday, after the collapse of a major bank left millions without access to their savings.

The charges came a day after Mr. Peña was impeached, removed from office and arrested over his relationship to the bank, Ueno, and his handling of the crisis. Prosecutors filed the same charges against the former president of the central bank, Carlos Carvallo, and accused him of falsifying public documents. The prosecutor’s office requested that both men be placed in pretrial detention and have their assets frozen.
