Tries: Ambadiang 2, Chabouni, Ardron, Karawalevu, Botitu Cons: Fernandez, Herve 3 Pen: Fernandez. Northampton were given a stern examination of their Champions Cup credentials by impressive Castres as they came out on top of an engrossing contest to book their place in the quarter-finals.. Saints were 12-0 down after 11 minutes as Christian Ambadiang and Theo Chabouni stunned the home side, before a penalty try and yellow card to Ambadiang gave the hosts a route back into the game.. Northampton prop Danilo Fischetti powered over but Saints trailed 15-14 at the break, taking the lead for the first time thanks to Josh Kemeny early in the second period after some fine footwork from captain George Furbank.. From there the tries flowed freely from both sides, with Tommy Freeman and Furbank’s scores replied to by Tyler Ardron and Vuate Karawalevu.. Fraser Dingwall’s try finally pushed Saints out of range but Castres scored the last of the 13 tries when Ambadiang raced away for his second as the French Top 14 side pushed Prem leaders Northampton all the way to the final whistle..

Castres’ line speed and pressure on passes forced Saints into some early handling errors, one of which led to the visitors taking a deserved lead after eight minutes.. Scrum-half Jeremy Fernandez took the ball from a scrum and broke down the blind side before putting a perfectly weighted kick behind the Saints defence for winger Ambadiang to race onto and score.. They had a second soon after when Ambadiang intercepted a loose pass and the ball was moved wide for Chabouni to stride over and make it 12-0.. Saints were on the board after 15 minutes with a penalty try for an Ambadiang high tackle on Archie McParland as he looked set to score, with the Castres winger yellow-carded.. They were down to 13 men after 18 minutes when lock Guillaume Ducat recklessly cleared out Henry Pollock at a ruck but they stretched their lead despite their numerical disadvantage with a Fernandez penalty before Saints hit back through Fischetti.. Castres took a one-point lead into the break but the hosts went in front for the first time two minutes into the second half when Furbank created space for Kemeny to dive over.. Last season’s runners-up Saints seemed to seize control of the contest when Furbank sent Freeman over the line to make it 26-15 but Ardron intercepted McParland’s pass to fire back immediately and keep Castres in the contest.. The home crowd was left stunned as Karawalevu powered over from first-phase ball to make it 28-27 in the 56th minute and the winger thought he had ano

Art heist targeting million-dollar masterpieces exposes blind spots in museum defenses, expert warns

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! A daring museum robbery abroad is attracting worldwide notice and sparking fresh concerns about the potential for similar thefts in the United States. Artworks by renowned artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cézanne, and Henri Matisse were stolen from Italy’s Magnani Rocca Foundation during the night of March 22-23. The theft grabbed global headlines, but an expert reveals the true story extends far beyond the crime. Geoff Kelly, a former FBI agent from the bureau’s Art Crime Team, told Fox News Digital that such crimes are far more frequent than most realize and nowhere near as complex as they seem. “Stealing the artwork is easy,” Kelly said. It’s not hard to kick in a door, smash a window, and make off with it. Das Video zeigt einen erschreckenden Moment, als maskierte Einbrecher aus Kalifornien gehobene Geschäfte überfallen, bevor sie in luxuriösen Geländewagen fliehen. This reality is heightening concerns over vulnerabilities within museums, including those in the U.S. Kelly noted that museums confront an inherent security challenge. Unlike banks or vaults, museums are designed to be open, accessible, and welcoming to the public—a feature that criminals can also exploit. “Museums are always going to be vulnerable,” he said. “They’re not vaults—they’re meant to be open and inviting.”

Man who put up $100K to find Nancy Guthrie says tipsters should skip the sheriff and call Crime Stoppers

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! As various agencies gather tips in the Nancy Guthrie case, the individual offering a $100,000 reward asserts that Crime Stoppers—rather than the sheriff—provides the most secure option for witnesses to submit information and an attractive one for those seeking payment for reliable details without revealing their identity. “I believe people will step forward if they can remain anonymous and receive a reward,” stated Wisconsin lawyer Michael Hupy, president of Crime Stoppers Milwaukee. In Arizona’s Pima County, the local Crime Stoppers chapter operates as 88-CRIME, reachable at 520-0003-7463. Hupy has already disbursed $75,000 in rewards and pledged an additional $200,000 to help resolve crimes in his community. He told Fox News Digital this week that he spent six figures on the Guthrie case because of the alarming nature of her disappearance. NANCY GRACE SLAMS SHERIFF’S HANDLING OF GUTHRIE CASE: ‘THE FISH STINKS AT THE HEAD’. Authorities believe she was abducted from her bedroom in northern Tucson at around 2 a.m. on February 1st, Sunday.

Artemis II astronauts face toilet trouble as they head toward the moon

​NEW Now you can listen to Fox News articles! The four astronauts aboard the Artemis II mission have traveled more than halfway to the moon since launching Wednesday from Kennedy Space Center, but a recurring issue has emerged. For the second time since launch, Orion’s toilet is malfunctioning. “During the night, we tried to vent the wastewater tank that’s attached to the toilet.” We encountered issues with it, likely from a suspected blockage we believe was probably caused by ice. Judd Frieling, the Artemis II flight director, explained during a Saturday news conference that they instructed the crew overnight to use their collapsible backup urine devices. The astronauts had faced a similar toilet issue on the mission’s first day. The spacecraft’s moon toilet broke down after launch and continues to be a persistent problem. TRUMP BOOSTS MOON MISSION HYPE AS ARTEMIS II GEARS UP FOR LAUNCH AMID PRESSURE FROM PRIOR SETBACKS. Debbie Korth, deputy manager of NASA’s Orion program, stated that the toilet remains functional. “You know, this is a test flight.” “We’re working out how these systems integrate, but it’s functional and we have backups to complete the mission,” she said. NASA confirmed the toilet remains usable for astronauts’ solid waste. ARTEMIS II LAUNCH CAPTIVATES COLLEGE SOFTBALL GAME AS PLAYERS GAZE SKYWARD IN AWE. “Space toilets and bathrooms are something everyone can easily relate to .. it’s always a challenge,” Korth said. John Honeycutt, chair of the mission management team, said the public’s interest in the Orion toilet was “kind of human nature.”
