EMBARGOED TO 2200 MONDAY OCTOBER 6 Undated handout photo issued by Metropolitan Police of a phone snatching incident in London. Police have disrupted an international network suspected of smuggling tens of thousands of stolen phones from the UK in its largest ever operation to tackle phone theft in London, the Metropolitan Police said. The criminal organisation is believed to have smuggled up to 40,000 stolen phones from the UK to China over the past 12 months - up to 40% of all phones stolen in the capital, the Met said on Monday. The force launched Operation Echosteep in December last year after a box containing about a thousand iPhones being shipped to Hong Kong was found at a warehouse near Heathrow Airport.

Marine life is thriving on unexploded Nazi bombs sitting at the bottom of a German bay, a submersible has discovered, even capturing footage of starfishes creeping across a huge chunk of TNT. The discovery, which was revealed in a study published on September 25, 2025, was "one of those rare but remarkable eureka moments," marine biologist Andrey Vedenin told AFP.
