An official preliminary report into last month’s deadly funicular crash in Lisbon has been released, putting the blame on a faulty steel cable and other maintenance flaws.

A prominent expert in recovering stolen works of art has told Sky News it was “a matter of time” before the Louvre was targeted – and UK museums could be next.

Nicholas Rossi, an American man who faked his death and fled to Scotland to escape rape charges, has been jailed for at least five years.

A security worker at the Louvre has told Sky News that “obsolete” equipment and a “drastic cut in staff” meant they had “reached the limit” of what they could do to protect the world-famous museum.

The UK is ready to spend “well over” £100m on a possible deployment of British forces to Ukraine if Donald Trump secures a peace deal with Russia, the defence secretary has said.

Donald Trump has said he doesn’t think Ukraine can win the war against Russia – as reports emerge of a less-than-harmonious meeting between the US president and Volodymyr Zelenskyy .

A burning piece of space debris which crashed to Earth in Australia is likely to have come from the launch of a Chinese rocket, an expert has said.

The internet appears to be recovering after a major outage knocked out thousands of websites, including Amazon, Snapchat, Reddit and several banks.

A number of “priceless” objects were stolen from the Louvre in Paris, in what has been called the “theft of the decade”.

It was a pretty wild morning.
