Malcolm Brabant reports on a portrait, believed to be a missing Van Gogh, found in a collection in Athens. The painting, which is under investigation by experts, is thought to have been stolen from a Jewish family by the Nazis during World War Two. Its current owner, Doretta Peppa, claims it was "liberated" from the Nazis by her father in 1944 during the final days of the occupation.

Doretta Peppa - a high priestess of the Followers of the 12 Greek Gods - has campaigned to be allowed to stage marriages and other rituals at ancient religious sites across Greece, against the wishes of the highly conservative Greek Orthodox Church.
