Residents and visitors returned to the scene of the attack, where bullet marks were still visible on café windows and candles were being lit in memory of those killed. Footage shows people stopping to examine the damaged glass, while others quietly pay their respects at a makeshift memorial on the edge of the square.

Police officers continued to patrol the area as pedestrians and café customers gradually returned to the normally bustling square. The attack took place on Saturday 7 November, when a 24-year-old gunman…

Marsalek has been out of reach of European authorities for years, and the Global Reporters Network was also unable to contact him for comment. “The Russian secret services like causing havoc and chaos and disruption,” Ed Arnold, senior associate fellow at Royal United Services Institute think tank, told the Global Reporters Network. “But even if they don’t cause it, they are more than happy to exploit it and make political disagreements or fissures worse.” He said Marsalek might have been “overplaying his hand” by emphasizing his role in the downfall of Kurz, adding: “If you want to make a name for yourself…

A rare double waterspout formed over the Italian island of Capri on Saturday, stretching across its iconic Faraglioni rock formations. The two swirling columns emerged from heavy clouds hovering over the island, creating a striking natural spectacle.
