The## caper that sounds straight out of a movie# Officials say the thieves used a basket lift,## forced open a window, smashed display cases# of price Napoleonic jewels took eight of them,## made good their escape, all# in less than 10 minutes.
Museum officials see the thieves entered# through an area where construction is underway.## Visitors were steered out of# the museum but weren't told why.
JOAN CARPENTER, American Tourist: We were# just ready to go in to see the Mona Lisa## when they swept us out of the gallery, swept# us down the stairs by the Wing Victory.
Then## were headed out the exit.
We didn't realize# the whole museum was being evacuated and then## we asked a guard and the guard said# we're having technical difficulties.
JOHN YANG: One piece was recovered inside the# museum and will be evaluated for damage.
In June,## Louvre staff staged a walkout saying the museum## was understaffed and that# security was insufficient.
President Trump called Colombian President Gustavo# Petro an illegal drug leader and said he's cutting## U.S.
aid to the country.
In a Truth Social post# today, Mr.
Trump said that if Petro doesn't shut## down drug production that he said is killing# Americans, the U.S.
will close them up for him.
This comes hours after Petro accused the U.S.# government of assassination and demanded answers## for a Thursday U.S.
strike on a Colombian boat in# Caribbean waters.
Shortly after Mr.
Trump's post,## Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said U.S.
forces# on Friday carried out a strike on another vessel## alleged to be smuggling drugs, killing three.
It# was the seventh known attack since last month.
London police say they are investigating# allegations that Prince Andrew asked## a former bodyguard to dig up damaging# information about the woman who accused## him of sexual assault.
Media reports say that# in 2011, the prince gave Virginia Giuffre's## birth date and Social Security number# to a London police officer.
Giuffre,## who took her own life earlier this year, said the# prince assaulted her when she was 17 years old.
On Friday, Prince Andrew gave up the# royal title Duke of York following years## of controversy over his friendship with# convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
