The Daily Standard has published our selection of 'World Pictures' for almost ten years. It started as a result of seeing so many pictures on the Associated Press wire service that illustrate breaking news, current events, natural wonders, foreign cultures and the human condition. But most of these images could never have fit in our print edition. As of a week ago, The Daily Standard switched to a tier of service from the AP more appropriate for a newspaper of our size. Unfortunately this tier does not have carte blanche access to AP pictures, and we will be retiring our 'World Pictures' feature. Thank you for learning about our world with us through 'World Picts'.

In this photo made available on Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2023, and provided by the Government of Montenegro, municipal workers stand close to an underground tunnel discovered inside the building of the Higher Court in Podgorica, Montenegro. Montenegro's president on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, urged a thorough investigation into who dug a tunnel into a court depot, saying it was an attack on the state and its justice system. The tunnel was discovered Monday after court clerks noticed disturbed items and felt a draft in the storage area, Montenegrin media reported. Authorities have said the passageway was about 30 meters (33 yards) long. It remained unclear if anything was missing. Montenegrin media said some weapons connected to a major criminal gang were stolen, but authorities have not confirmed the information. (Government of Montenegro via AP)
