Stealing from the British Museum: How, why, who?
Imagine having so many rare and invaluable objects in your possession under the gaze of curators, world experts, security personnel, and cameras, and failing to spot that more than 1,500 objects worth millions of pounds have been stolen, damaged and destroyed.
The British Museum - the receptacle for some of the most wondrous artefacts in the world - is facing this crisis, with some of the stolen goods being more than 3,500 years old.
To make matters worse, objects have reportedly turned up on eBay at a fraction of their worth. The BBC has reported that an art dealer alerted the British Museum to alleged stolen items more than two years ago but was told "all objects are accounted for”.
So how could so many items go missing, why would someone steal from the museum, and who is it thought to be? Newsnight’s Insight & Investigations Editor Joe Pike reports.

BRICS: An economic club or a G7 challenger?
In geopolitical terms the G7 almost always garners the lion's share of political and media attention in the West and beyond, but when the BRICS summit began yesterday in Johannesburg, not only were Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa talking about expansion, there is also the ambition to become a counter to Western domination as they see it.
There's no shortage of countries lining up to join BRICS - Argentina, Belarus, Indonesia and Nigeria among them - but while the leaders of the five nations are broadly in agreement about expansion, at the outset of the summit Brazil's president, Lula de Silva, insisted that BRICS is not meant to challenge the G7.

Where Are the Moon Rocks? We Asked a NASA Expert
Where are the Moon rocks from the Apollo missions kept? When they’re not being studied by institutions or enjoyed by museumgoers, NASA has a specialized Lunar Sample Curation Laboratory at NASA’s Johnson Space Center to store and keep these otherworldly samples safe. Studying these samples helps us learn more about the origin of not only our moon, but our planet. Deputy Apollo Sample Curator (Sept 2019 – Dec 2022) Dr. Juliane Gross explains more about lunar sample curation.
Yevgeny Prigozhin: What we know so far as Wagner boss reportedly killed in plane crash
Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is presumed to have been killed in a plane crash north of Moscow, alongside his right-hand-man Dmitry Utkin and eight others.
Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin have yet to comment on the death, while western leaders have been briefed on the crash.
Wagner members and supporters have been paying tribute to Prigozhin, laying flowers at temporary shrines, while questions remain about the mercenary group’s future – particularly in Africa where they have thousands of fighters.
