You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode as well as a worksheet on our website bbclearningenglish.com So Phil,
let's hear more about this story.
Thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday morning and stole eight extremely valuable items of jewellery.
The robbers used power tools to break into the museum which is the famous home of the Mona Lisa painting.
The thieves escaped on scooters and took items including tiaras and necklaces that had belonged to French royalty or imperial rulers.
The entire break-in took about seven minutes.
Let's have our first headline and this is from The New York Times.
In just seven brazen minutes, thieves grab priceless jewels from Louvre.
That headline again from The New York Times and newspaper in the US.

Seven brazen minutes.
And brazen means bold or obvious.
