Associated PressDivers find remains of Finnish WWII plane that was shot down by Moscow with a US diplomat aboard
The World War II mystery of what happened to a Finnish passenger plane after it was shot down over the Baltic Sea by Soviet bombers appears to finally be solved more than eight decades later. The plane was carrying American and French diplomatic couriers in June 1940 when it was downed just days before Moscow annexed the Baltic states. All nine people on board the plane were killed, including the two-member Finnish crew and the seven passengers — an American diplomat, two French, two Germans, a Swede and a dual Estonian-Finnish national.

Bellwether Basel art fair gives lift to sluggish global market
ZURICH (Reuters) -Art dealers, collectors and gallery owners from around the world wrapped up several multi-million dollar deals in brisk trade at an annual art fair in the Swiss city of Basel this week, despite a slowdown in the global art market. Deals at the fair - widely seen as a barometer of global art demand - included the $20-million purchase of a painting by 20th-century American artist Joan Mitchell on the opening day and the sale of a drawing by fellow abstract expressionist Arshile Gorky for $16 million. The global art market shrank 4% to $65 billion last year, according to the 2024 UBS Global Art Market Report, and the value of sales in the latest New York auction season fell more than 20%.
