The waitress blamed for starting the New Year's fire at a Swiss ski resort bar was made to wear a promotional crash helmet, which prevented her from seeing sparklers, a witness has claimed. Cyane Panine, 24, was filmed wearing the crash helmet from Dom Perignon, the Champagne brand, as she was lifted onto the shoulders of Mateo Lesguer, 23, the in-house DJ. The Dom Perignon 'motorcycle crash helmet' covered Cyane's face completely with a black visor, meaning she could hardly see anything as she carried champagne bottles plugged with sparklers. Ms Haenni, a barrister, said the Cyane family 'didn't take Ms Moretti's apology very well'. Like the Morettis, Cyane was a French national and was buried in her hometown of Sète, on the country's southern coast, on Saturday.

Extra South American beef will enter the EU market but the amounts involved will be limited under the Mercosur deal. These target two markets – the higher-value one for fresh and chilled cuts and the lower-value frozen beef market, mainly for further processing. The Mercosur agreement proposes to increase the amount of South American beef entering the EU market at lower tariff levels. The additional allowance of 99,000 tonnes represents about 1.5 per cent of the EU beef market. But the limits involved on the amount of lower quota imports do not suggest a big disruption in the EU beef market.

He's become known as one of the best tennis commentators in the business after winning four Grand Slam titles - but Jim Courier has been spotted doing a job that's a long way from his duties behind the microphone for Channel Nine. Video shows the American great - who won the Australian Open in 1992 and 1993 - looking just like any other delivery rider in his fluoro clothing. Courier has become a fixture on TV screens Down Under during the Australian Open, and he was missed last year when his arrival was delayed by the Los Angeles wildfires. When he triumphed at Roland Garros in 1992, he won the crowd over by delivering his victory speech in French. In addition to being the focal point of Channel Nine's Australian Open coverage, he also co-hosted the network's Ninja Warrior program in 2020.
