World in brief
FRANCE: A hat said to have been worn by Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo was auctioned at Lyon today.
It was expected to sell for €30,000-€40,000 (£26,000-£35,000).
The emperor wore at least 120 hats in his career with 12 in service at any one time, each with a three-year lifespan. Only 19 are thought to still exist.
