A fire is in progress in Belgium. He took Monday evening, May 29, in a wooded region of the province of Liège, near the German border. The man-made fire spread rapidly, so Belgian firefighters had to seek help from their German colleagues. An investigation is underway to find the person responsible for the fire.
At 72, German lawyer Hanno Berger is accused of being one of the masterminds of a large-scale tax evasion. It allowed thousands of shareholders to receive undue benefits between 2006 and 2008. For the German state, the loss amounts to more than 100 million euros. He was sentenced to eight years in prison, the heaviest sentence handed down for such a case.
Britain faces child vaping
Britain declares war on child vaping.
