French police are hunting the burglar or burglars who made off with paintings by Picasso, Matisse and other great artists from a Paris museum.
Officials have admitted the Museum of Modern Art's alarm system had not been fully functioning for several weeks.

The paintings are estimated to be worth just under 100m euros (£86m; $123m).
