An Irish tourist in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, broke the arm of a statue in front of the Stock Exchange building while climbing on it. The tourist, who was found to be drunk at the time of the incident, was detained at a nearby fast-food restaurant a short time later. After the incident, the authorities demanded that the tourists cover the cost of repairing the statue, which was 19 thousand dollars.

The Stock Exchange building and the statue in front of it were reopened on Saturday after three years of restoration.

US National Guard troops and federal law enforcement officers have been deployed to Washington, DC, following President Donald Trump’s order, citing rising crime. Armored vehicles and barricades appeared in city centers. Mayor Muriel Bowser called the move “authoritarian,” denying crime was out of control. Around 800 National Guard troops and 500 federal officers are expected to assist local police with logistics and support. Trump’s control of the DC police lasts 30 days, after which Congress must decide.
