A recent incident, kept secret until now, is raising concerns about the security of the royal family.
According to The Sun, masked burglars managed to enter the royal estate, smashing through a closed gate before making off with two stolen vehicles.
Thieves broke into the grounds of Windsor Castle, where the Prince and Princess of Wales live with their three children, and stole two vehicles, police said.
According to The Sun, the thieves broke through a security barrier to make off with a black Isuzu pickup and a red quad bike in a daring intrusion on the royal grounds of Windsor Castle.
They reportedly managed to break into a farm building on royal land near Windsor Castle.
Although King Charles and Queen Camilla were not residing at the castle at the time of the break-in, it is assumed that Prince William and his family were asleep at their Adelaide Cottage residence.
The latter is located just a few minutes from the fence the thieves hit during their escape, on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
According to sources quoted by The Sun, this burglary may have been meticulously planned.
The criminals are believed to have carried out prolonged surveillance of the estate before taking action.
This incident, which had not been revealed to the public until recently, is causing great concern.
It highlights a potentially major security breach for the royal family, especially as the theft took place inside the secure area of the Windsor Castle estate.
Billionaire Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), who has been at odds with Brazil for several months over misinformation on his platform, saw this dispute reignited in an unusual way this weekend.
At an event on the heels of the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, Janja Lula da Silva, the wife of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, took to the stage to directly attack Elon Musk, claiming that he didn’t intimidate her, adding a swear word to underline her contempt.
Brazil's first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, swore while addressing billionaire Elon Musk during a G20 event on the weekend, at which she spoke about the need to regulate social media to rein in misinformation.
Rosangela da Silva addressed Elon Musk directly as she spoke at a pre-G20 event dedicated to regulating social networks to combat misinformation.
This unexpected intervention reignites a conflict that has been ongoing for several months between the billionaire and Brazil, after the latter was recently forced to temporarily suspend all X activities in the country, due to Musk’s refusal to comply with the Supreme Court’s decision to appoint a legal representative for his company in Brazil.
In an unexpected moment, as Rosangela da Silva was talking about how to regulate social networks, a ship’s noise was heard. The First Lady immediately reacted in jest, saying that it was Elon Musk who was making the noise, before adding bluntly: « **** ***, Elon Musk », asserting that she wasn’t afraid of him!
For his part, Musk reacted on X by predicting that Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva would lose his next election.
This conflict began when Brazil insisted that X and Elon Musk comply with local laws concerning online disinformation. Musk had refused to comply with Supreme Court orders to block accounts accused of spreading « false information » and hate messages.
Musk had then expelled his legal representatives from Brazil, depriving himself of the right to operate his companies under Brazilian law. After several attempts to get Musk to cooperate, the Supreme Court was forced to shut down X throughout the country, and the threat also extended to Musk’s Starlink satellite service, which refused to obey the court’s order to cut off X from its Internet services.
Finally, after several weeks, Musk changed his mind and began to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling.
As a result, Brazil authorized X to resume its activities in the country last October.
The Japanese automaker has announced major cuts in its workforce and production, with the elimination of 9,000 jobs and a 20% reduction in production capacity.
Nissan Motor announced a $2.6 billion cost saving plan, including 9,000 job cuts and a 20% reduction in global production capacity as it battles falling sales in China and the United States https://t.co/eYdyLK2ZXy pic.twitter.com/ZOixRxBatA

Lower sales in the second quarter of 2024, particularly in the US and China, are one of the main reasons for the cuts, which will save the company a total of $2.6 billion in expenses.
The company is struggling to compete in China, where sales are down 13% year-on-year, as well as in the US, with a 2.3% decline over the same period.
What’s more, it lacks a credible range of hybrid cars to compete with affordable, technologically advanced electric and hybrid vehicles.
Nissan’s share price has indeed fallen sharply on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, losing JPY 369 (-36.00, or -8.90%) in the last five days since the announcement of the reduction.
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, the Canadian government has indicated that Canada will be ready to handle a potential mass influx of migrants at the Canadian border, with Trump promising mass deportations on his first day in the White House.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada has "a plan" on dealing with potential impacts to the border from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's immigration plans.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland noted that the Canadiens government has been preparing for the possibility of a Trump presidency for some time.
She expressed a desire for mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, while recognizing the importance of border security and control over who enters Canada.
Freeland also said that Canada was preparing to manage a likely influx of migrants at the Canadian border when Trump takes office in January 2025.
Recall that after Trump’s victory in 2016, many migrants attempted to cross the Canadian border, fleeing the US administration’s strict migration policies.
Canada observed an influx of asylum seekers, particularly at Roxham Road, a road on the Quebec-New York border frequently used by smugglers and migrants. As a result, authorities had to step up security measures in the area.
An extension of the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) between the USA and Canada, signed in 2002, was concluded last year, which stipulates that asylum seekers must apply in the first safe country they arrive in, meaning that migrants arriving from the USA must apply for asylum there.
However, Trump’s unpredictable attitude is raising concerns among Canadians about a potential larger influx of asylum seekers, at a time when Canada is already facing immigration challenges.
In response, Chrystia Freeland reassured Canadians that the government fully recognizes the importance of border security and control.
