President Macron outlines plans for Louvre β€˜renaissance’ - Museums Association Paris landmark will introduce surcharge for non-EU visitors to fund Β£675m overhaul

A line chart showing temperature changes (daily min and max readings) from 22 weather stations across the UK. The line charts include model fit lines showing average temperatures across stations over time (1970 to 2024), showing the estimated average increase at the right margin (about +1.5 degrees Celsius). On the right of the line chart, there is map of the UK showing the location of each weather station. Four of them are marked with annotations showing the highest (Cambridge, 2008) and lowest (Newton Rigg, 2010) monthly means and the hottest January (Yeovilton, 1990) and coldest July (Lerwick, 1993). Data: UK Met Office via TidyTuesday; Packages: {tidyverse, geomtextpath, ggarrow, ggtext, glue, rnaturalearth, scales}; Visualization: C. BΓΆrstell.

Some of those stones will be easy to sell.

But a lot of the most value ones will be very hard, considering they are of exceptional size and some of those jewels even have names of their own.
