Kim Kardashian splashed the cash on a necklace famously worn by Princess Diana , with the Royal Family "probably laughing" at the extravagant purchase. Kim, 42, had to part with more than £163,000 earlier this month to secure the precious item, which was worn by the then Princess of Wales in 1987. The necklace, which went on auction at Sotheby's London, was created by jewellery designer Garrard in the 1920s and features an amethyst cross with circular-cut diamonds. Kim seemed desperate to own the jewellery and paid more than double the pre-auction estimate to make sure she got her hands on it . Royal expert Valentine Low has suggested the purchase would have left the Royal Family mildly amused.

Russian propagandist praises North Korea’s nuclear threats against U.S.
Russian state TV presenter Sergey Mardan praised North Korea for threatening to use nuclear weapons against the United States during a Friday night broadcast amid the Ukraine war.

The latest nuclear remarks came Friday night when Mardan celebrated North Korea for being "independent" in global affairs, as well as for its President Kim Jong-un's nuclear threats. Video of the discussion was posted to Twitter by BBC journalist Francis Scarr on Saturday morning.

Ukraine confirms Putin planning February ‘anniversary’ attack with half a million troops
Ukraine has confirmed fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be planning a February 24 'anniversary' attack on the country with half a million troops. Ukraine ’s defence minister Oleksii Reznikov has said that Moscow has amassed hundreds of thousands of troops and could “try something” on the one year anniversary of its invasion. The major new offensive would mark another phase of the ongoing war, and comes after prolonged fears Russia might utilise the anniversary date to renew their efforts to take Ukraine . The Kremlin shocked the world when, in February last year, it invaded the country and tried to seize Kyiv as apart of what it claimed was a "special military operation". Any attack would also mark Russia’s Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23 - which celebrates the army.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 9 SANTA ANA ZIROSTO, Mexico (AP) — It is a long and sometimes dangerous journey for avocados destined for guacamole on tables and tailgates in the United States during the Super Bowl. It starts in villages like Santa Ana Zirosto, high in the misty, pine-clad mountains of the western Mexico state of Michoacan. The roads are so dangerous — beset by drug cartels, common criminals, and extortion and kidnap gangs — that state police provide escorts for the trucks brave enough to face the 40-mile (60-kilometer) trip to packing and shipping plants in the city of Uruapan. Truck driver Jesús Quintero starts early in the morning, gathering crates of avocados picked the day before in orchards around Santa Ana, before he takes them to a weighing station. Then he joins up with other trucks waiting for a convoy of blue-and-white state police trucks — they recently … [Read more...] about Route to Super Bowl is long, dangerous for Mexican avocados
