New Zealand’s air force carried out a nearly 20-hour medical evacuation to rescue three Americans from Antarctica, calling it a high-risk mission conducted in freezing temperatures and total darkness.
The U.S. National Science Foundation requested the evacuation after three staff members at McMurdo Station were unable to receive adequate medical treatment on-site.
One of the individuals required urgent care, while the other two also needed medical attention and were transported as a precaution, according to New Zealand’s air force.
Air Commodore Andy Scott, head of New Zealand’s air component, said mid-winter flights to Antarctica are among the most difficult missions due to shifting weather, extreme cold and ice landings in total darkness.

«The crew can only attempt the flight after detailed analysis of the weather and airfield state,» Scott said. «The United States Antarctic Program Winter Team must physically create the runway before we can depart by ensuring the ice is groomed and suitable for landing.
«Although they determine it is safe, it’s still an extremely challenging environment to fly in on Night Vision Goggles due to the extreme weather conditions, which are highly changeable at this time of year and makes accurate forecasting a challenge,» he added. «This, coupled with there being no airfields available to divert to once the aircraft is past a certain point south adds to the risk, so these missions are not taken lightly.»
A medical team, including a physician, accompanied the crew to provide in-flight care during the return to Christchurch.

The aircraft was pre-positioned from Auckland to Christchurch on Sunday, with a crew on standby for a weather window.
The crew made the decision on Tuesday to fly to Antarctica, working through the night to complete the mission.
After landing on the ice runway, the aircraft’s engines remained running to prevent freezing during refueling, the air force said.

Trump suggests DOJ owes him money for past cases

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump suggested on Tuesday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) owes him money for past prosecutions against him.
In the Oval Office, a reporter asked Trump if he was seeking compensation from the DOJ over past federal investigations into him and, if so, how much he was seeking.
«Well, I guess they probably owe me a lot of money for that,» Trump said in response. «No, I get no salary. I gave up my salary. It’s a good salary. Not as much as these guys make, but that’s OK. It’s a lot of money, and I don’t, as you know, I didn’t take it in the first four years. I didn’t take it these four years either.»
«But as far as all of the litigation, everything that’s been involved, yeah, they probably owe me a lot of money,» the president added. «But if I get money from our country, I’ll do something nice with it. Like, give it to charity or give it to the White House while we restore the White House, and we’re doing a great job with the White House, as you know, the ballroom is under construction.»

The New York Times reported sources as saying Trump is seeking approximately $230 million in compensation from the Justice Department for investigations into him.
Trump told reporters Tuesday that he was «not looking for money,» but that they «would have to ask the lawyers about that.»
«We’ll see what happens,» Trump said. «We have numerous cases having to do with the fraud of the election, the 2020 election, and because of everything that we found out, I guess they owe me a lot of money. But I’m not looking for money. I’m looking for — really, I think it’s got to be, it’s got to be handled in a proper way… We don’t want it to happen again. We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can’t let that happen.»
He was later pressed again about the exact dollar amount in the request and said, «I don’t know what the number is. I don’t even talk to them about it.»
Trump then remarked that the decision would have to come across his desk, saying that it would be «awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself.»

However, the Times noted that the DOJ’s rules state that settlement claims against the department that exceed $4 million «must be approved by the Deputy Attorney General, or Associate Attorney General, as appropriate.»
It is unclear where the claims or negotiations with the DOJ stand. However, The Associated Press noted that the ties between Trump and those authorized to make a decision on the settlement could present problems.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche served as one of Trump’s attorneys in the Mar-a-Lago case. Additionally, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward represented Trump’s co-defendant, Walt Nauta, in the Mar-a-Lago case.
«In any circumstance, all officials at the Department of Justice follow the guidance of career ethics officials,» DOJ spokesperson Chad Gilmartin said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The investigations include the FBI’s 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago as part of the classified documents case and another probe looking into possible ties between Russia and Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. According to the Times, the first claim was filed in late 2023 and was in relation to the Russia probe, while the second — which focused on the Mar-a-Lago raid — was filed in the summer of 2024.
The Times reported Tuesday that Trump had submitted complaints through an administrative claim process, noting that it is something that often precedes lawsuits.

Despite the president saying that he would donate the funds, some Democrats painted the report as an example of Trump trying to enrich himself.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said on Wednesday morning that the president was looking «to line his own pockets, or he says now to give to a charity of his choice.» The senator added to the accusation, saying Trump was «focusing on getting $230 million that he doesn’t deserve back into his pocket instead of helping the American people get healthcare.»

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who was in the middle of an hours-long speech, slammed Trump for «suing the government, then instructing his Department of Justice to settle the suit, thereby translating money into the president’s pocket out of the government.»
Merkley then remarked that «there is no limit to the self-serving» and called for his colleagues, particularly Republicans, to speak out against the president.

Cuáles son las joyas que fueron robadas en el Louvre y qué puede pasar con ellas, según expertos

Fueron ocho minutos de un robo tan audaz como descarado: el reloj marcaba las 09:30 del domingo cuando, bajo las ventanas del museo del Louvre, cuatro ladrones instalaron un montacargas. A las 09:38, se marchaban de allí con las joyas “de la Corona”, un tesoro histórico “inestimable”, tras romper las vidrieras que las protegían con una amoladora.
Cuáles son las joyas de la Corona que se llevaron del Louvre
Ahora más de sesenta investigadores buscan a los autores de este robo que, con los rostros cubiertos, robaron nueve piezas del siglo XIX, entre ellas la corona de la emperatriz Eugenia, esposa de Napoleón III, que luego abandonaron durante su huida.

La joya, que lleva ocho águilas de oro, 1354 diamantes, 1136 diamantes de talla rosa y 56 esmeraldas resultó “dañada”, según informó la fiscal de París, Laure Beccuau. La corona de la emperatriz Eugenia, que fue abandonada por los ladrones. (Foto: AFP/Stéphane de Sakutin).
Las otras piezas que fueron robadas atravesaron dos siglos de historia y fueron propiedad de importantes soberanas y emperatrices de Francia.
La tiara de perlas de Eugenia fue realizada por el famoso joyero Alexandre-Gabriel Lemonnier poco después de la boda de la emperatriz de origen español con Napoleón III, en 1853, al igual que su corona.

“Esta diadema es la que llevaba casi todos los días en la corte y la que aparece en sus retratos oficiales. Le tenía mucho cariño”, explicó a la agencia de noticias AFP Pierre Branda, historiador y director científico de la Fundación Napoleón.

También fueron robados un lazo decorativo de corset y un broche de la emperatriz conocido como “relicario”, que se compone de 94 diamantes, entre los que destaca una roseta de siete diamantes alrededor de un solitario central, con dos diamantes en forma de corazón legados por el cardenal Mazarin a Luis XIV.

Además, los delincuentes se llevaron un collar y pendientes de zafiros usados por la reina María Amelia (esposa de Luis Felipe I, rey de Francia de 1830 a 1848) y por la reina Hortensia (madre de Napoleón III).

Según Vincent Meylan, historiador especializado en joyería, la reina Hortensia heredó este conjunto de su madre, la emperatriz Josefina, primera esposa de Napoleón I. Algunos especialistas afirman también que podría proceder de la reina María Antonieta.

“Realmente forma parte de la historia de Francia”, insiste Meylan.
Además, se llevaron un collar y pendientes de esmeraldas que fueron un regalo de boda de Napoleón I a su segunda esposa, la emperatriz María Luisa, realizados por su joyero oficial, François-Régnault Nitot.

Además de sus prestigiosos dueños, estas joyas tenían todo el derecho a estar en el museo, ya que son “obras artísticas excepcionales”, opinó Didier Rykner, director de la redacción de la página web La Tribune de l’Art.
Realizadas por los grandes joyeros de la época, como Nitot, Lemonnier o Paul-Alfred Bapst, estas joyas combinan diamantes, perlas y piedras preciosas para crear composiciones espectaculares. El collar de zafiros está compuesto por ocho piedras preciosas de color azul noche y 631 diamantes, y el collar de esmeraldas tiene 32 esmeraldas y 1138 diamantes, según indica el Louvre en su página web.
A pesar de su antigüedad, la mayoría de estas joyas llegaron al Louvre en las últimas décadas.

De las ocho piezas robadas, siete se adquirieron desde 1985, incluidas dos que se vendieron en la subasta de las joyas de la corona de 1887.
El conjunto de esmeraldas se adquirió en 2004 gracias al fondo del Patrimonio y a la Sociedad de Amigos del Louvre.
El collar de zafiros de María Amelia se adquirió en 1985, y la diadema de la emperatriz Eugenia y su gran broche pasaron a ser propiedad del museo en 1992 y 2008.
Un tesoro “invendible” en su estado
Son joyas de un “valor patrimonial inestimable”, según el Ministerio de Cultura. “Son inestimables desde el punto de vista patrimonial. Sin embargo, su precio es perfectamente estimable”, advierte Rykner.
“El término adecuado es invendible”, precisó Meylan. De hecho, revender estas joyas catalogadas y perfectamente identificadas en su estado actual es imposible, precisó. Dos jóvenes se toman una selfie frente a la ventana por la que ingresaron los ladrones al Louvre. (Foto: REUTERS/Benoit Tessier).
En este contexto, los expertos alertan sobre el riesgo de despiece de estas obras históricas, cuyas piedras y perlas podrían ser desmontadas y reutilizadas para fabricar otras joyas.
“Si no se recuperan estas joyas muy pronto, desaparecerán, seguro”, insistió Meylan.
“La policía sabe que en las próximas 24 o 48 horas, si no atrapan a estos ladrones, esas piezas probablemente desaparecerán”, declaró a la BBC Chris Marinello, director ejecutivo de Art Recovery Internationalmedio. “Puede que atrapen a los delincuentes, pero no recuperarán las joyas”. El Louvre permanece cerrado tras el robo. (Foto: REUTERS/Benoit Tessier).
Marinello dijo que los ladrones probablemente romperán las piezas, fundirán cualquier metal valioso y tallarán de nuevo las piedras preciosas, ocultando así la evidencia del crimen. Señaló además que sería difícil vender las joyas si se conservan intactas
“Ahí es donde el tesoro se vuelve inestimable. Corremos el riesgo de perder fragmentos de la historia de Francia”, coincidió Pierre Branda.
