[1/3] Finland's Prime Minister and Social Democrats leader Sanna Marin speaks at the party's parliamentary election event in Helsinki, Finland April 2, 2023. Lehtikuva/Emmi Korhonen via REUTERSHELSINKI, April 2 (Reuters) - Here is a profile of Finland's outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin, whose left-wing Social Democrats lost a parliamentary election on Sunday, although they might still join the next coalition with election winner the National Coalition Party. Born in 1985 in Helsinki, she grew up near Finland's south-western industrial hub of Tampere with her mother and her mother's girlfriend. Only six months in, then-party chair Antti Rinne was forced to resign over his handling of labour strikes, and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) chose Marin to replace him as prime minister. Marin soon found herself managing Finland's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and then Europe's energy crunch caused by neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Brad Pitt has made a surprise debut as a sculptor, unveiling a set of hand-crafted works at an art museum in Finland in what appears to be his first-ever public art exhibition. Pitt, 58, unveiled the sculptures on Saturday at an exhibition at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. The surprise debut was part of a larger exhibition by British artist Thomas Houseago, with Australian musician Nick Cave also displaying his own artwork at the show. The Sara Hildén Art Museum said in a news release that it was "exciting to get to experience a new and different artistic side" of Pitt and Cave, frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. "It’s about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where have I misstepped, where am I complicit,” Pitt was quoted as saying.

Lista publicată joi de EEA s-a bazat pe o evaluare a peste 320 de oraşe din Europa. Au fost măsurate particulele în suspensie din 26 de ţări ale UE, precum şi din Islanda, Norvegia şi Elveţia. În România, cel mai curat aer se consideră că se găseşte la Sinaia. Specialiştii susţin că acesta ar fi fost principalul motiv pentru care în staţiunea de pe Valea Prahovei a fost construit Palatul Peleş.
