Taste of freedom: Paris chocolatier tears down towering edible Berlin Wall (VIDEO) Replicating the Berlin Wall in enormous slabs of delicious chocolate might sound like a sugar-fueled dream, but one Frenchman was up to the challenge, setting out to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall in a unique way. Chocolate sculptor Patrick Roger recreated the iconic structure in an eight-meter (26ft) long, three-meter tall artwork. The impressive piece was daubed with graffiti including ‘Freiheit’ (German for ‘freedom’) and JFK’s famous “Ich bin ein Berliner” line. As the fall of the wall was commemorated in all manners on Saturday, from sombre reflections on a divided Germany to jubilant TV clips from that fateful night, Roger took a hammer to his incarn...

Rage against the (bureaucratic) machine: Putin says AI could ease Russia’s red tape woes If you’re feeling worn down by red tape and bureaucratic wrangling, artificial intelligence could be the key to smoother public administration, while also offering greater transparency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. Speaking at an AI-focused tech event in Moscow on Saturday, Putin cautioned that some safeguards are still necessary when using artificial intelligence, but that it represents a huge development in overcoming “the inertia and sluggishness of the bureaucratic machine.” Another benefit to the tech is in allowing people to see “what the authorities are doing and what they are motivated by when taking certain decisions,” the Russian leader adde...

150kg of ‘diamond’ cocaine washes up on French beaches, locals urged against ‘treasure hunting’ Dozens of cocaine-containing packets labelled ‘diamante’ have washed ashore on beaches along France’s Atlantic coastline, and more are likely to come, with police now warning residents against helping themselves. Small one-pound packages wrapped in several layers of black plastic and cellophane have become a regular sight on the French Atlantic coast since late October. The ‘bricks’ sport ‘diamante’ or ‘brilliante’ labels, but while their contents are precious, they are not filled with gemstones – rather, with 80-90 percent pure cocaine, as several tests have shown.

UFC Moscow: Russian featherweight sensation Zabit Magomedsharipov wins war of attrition with Calvin Kattar

UFC Moscow: Russian featherweight sensation Zabit Magomedsharipov wins war of attrition with Calvin Kattar Russian sensation Zabit Magomedsharipov pushed himself further into featherweight title shot contention as he came through a war of attrition with America's Calvin Kattar in their main event at UFC Moscow. Zabit secured a unanimous decision victory 29-28 on all three scorecards, but was forced to scrap hard against a gutsy Kattar. While the bout lacked the fireworks many in the Moscow crowd had hoped for, Zabit ultimately did the tidier work to prevail on points and improve his winning streak to 14 and take him to 6-0 in the UFC. Ranked 5th in the featherweight ranking, the Dagestani will now surely have strong claims for a shot at the titl...
