Europa League trophy stolen in Mexico after being swiped from a vehicle before being returned safely, UEFA confirm

Arsene Wenger's hopes of winning the Europa League with Arsenal before bowing out at the end of the season very nearly took a huge blow when the trophy was stolen in Mexico.

According to reports, the glittery prize was swiped from a vehicle during an event in the city of Leon, before it was safely returned, UEFA confirmed.

The state prosecutor's office took to Twitter to upload an image of the trophy to prove it had indeed been recovered by police.

UEFA's official website claims the trophy: "Remains in UEFA's keeping at all times," and that clubs receive replica ones. However, the efforts to recover the trophy suggest that the one that was swiped was the real McCoy.

His sudden death has shocked fans and critics alike.

Remembering The tragic story of Daphne Caruana Galizia, a Maltese Panama Papers journalist assassinated in a car bombing

Reuters, in association with other media outlets, has produced an in-depth report about Daphne Caruana Galizia, the Maltese journalist who was killed in a car bomb in October 2017.
Caruana Galizia had been using the Panama Papers to investigate corruption on the tiny island nation, and her blog would sometimes get hundreds of thousands of views per day.
For years leading up to her death, she had been threatened and harassed, and three of her dogs had been killed.
He ran towards the burning car barefoot across the field, oblivious to the mud and stones. The explosion had blown the grey Peugeot 108 clear off the road. Now the twisted remains sat ablaze about five meters into the field, a metal pyre of flame and smoke.

Matthew Caruana Galizia could feel the heat on his face and eyes. The fire was making a roaring sound and the car's horn was blaring. Through the flames he caught sight of a mother and child by the roadside crying and screaming: "What can we do, what can we do?"

He couldn't see his own mother, Daphne, whose car it was.

"I looked into the car and there was nothing," said Matthew. "It was just fire. I expected to see something like the shadow of a person or something, but there was nothing."

Then he saw her. Parts of her. A leg and other bits of body lay scattered around him in the field. Daphne Caruana Galizia, journalist, blogger and crusader against corruption and cronyism on the island of Malta, had finally been silenced.

Company director crushed to death by his own 29ft yacht after it fell on him in dockyard

A yachtsman has been crushed to death by his own boat which fell on him while he worked on it at a yacht club.

The 56-year-old man was carrying out general repairs beneath the 29ft sailing yacht when it suddenly toppled over on to him.

He was found under the half-a-ton wooden vessel and although ambulance paramedics tried to save him, he was pronounced dead at the Weymouth Sailing Club in Dorset.

Members there said the victim, thought to be a company director, had joined the club a year ago after moving to the area.

He lived close to the sailing club and took his boat out of the harbour last week to carry out two weeks of maintenance to it.
