Police detained 31 people over a $50 million heist of diamonds, one of the biggest jewelry robberies in history.

Robbers dressed as police and armed with machine guns stole 120 parcels of diamonds from the runway of Brussels airport without firing a shot. The suspect detained in France was believed to be a member of the gang of eight who carried out the heist.

"compensation for work related injury can be dated back to ancient Sumeria, roughly 2050 B.C. These Sumerian laws provided different sorts of injuries with explicit financial compensation. More particularly maybe, is the highly organised system put forth by the 18th and 19th century businessmen we know as Pirates. The Pirates answered the dangers of the occupation by making a system similar to the Sumerians. A specific lost or wounded body part equaled a particular amount of payout. As an example, one of the lower compensations was for the loss of an eye, bringing only 100 Spanish bucks as opposed to a leg, which would pay five hundred."
