Ireland's Data Protection Commission led the probe on behalf of the EU into whether TikTok was in compliance with the bloc's privacy rules. They found the video sharing app was transferring personal data to servers located in China, contrary to what the company initially claimed.

EU officials are concerned this information can be accessed by staff in China, where TikTok's parent company ByteDance is based, and by the Chinese government, violating strict privacy rules. The regulators also said TikTok had not been transparent with users about this, and ordered the company to come into compliance within six months. TikTok says it will appeal.

An investigation was launched when almost 50 pieces of art were missing after the reopening of the town hall of the southeastern Dutch city of Maashorst. Among them was a 1980s-era silkscreen by Andy Warhol depicting then-Queen Beatrix. The probe found the art was stored in the building's basement during renovations and that some of it, including the Warhol print, suffered water damage.

At some point, it's still unclear when or by whom, the pieces were put in a trash bin. The Mosshorst mayor says it's regrettable. Last November, thieves stole four other Warhol prints, including another one of the former queen, by bombing a Dutch art gallery. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz.

Federal authorities have long put some immigration warrants into the NCIC, or National Crime Information Center. But the number of immigration warrants has been increased dramatically under President Trump.

Fears of an escalating trade war with the U.S. sent shares tumbling across the EU. In some countries, that level is the lowest in months. In France and Italy, it was the worst drop in more than two years. The EU has not yet announced countermeasures and says it's still open to negotiations.
