Slow growth raises stakes even higher for the Budget
Today's disappointing growth figures reflect that the UK has returned to the slower lanes of growth, having outperformed earlier in the year. The 0.1% growth seen in the July-to-September quarter was below forecasts, and the economy shrank in the month of September. A breakdown in car production following the cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover does explain September's contraction, and why the overall growth figures were worse than expected.

The end of asylum in Europe?
In early July, a week after taking office as minister of migration and asylum in Greece, islamophobic and antisemitic far-right leader Thanos Plevris posted brief remarks on X in response to a comment by a lawyer. The jurist, pointing to an article he had himself written on the subject, had admonished the minister that “if the Geneva Convention on Refugees is not revised [...], nothing will change!” Mr Plevris assured him that he had read the article and agreed that, “indeed, the Geneva Convention addressed issues from the 1950s and cannot address the issue in 2025 of massive flows”.

PARIS -- PARIS (AP) — Coordinated terrorist attacks turned Paris into a theater of blood and calamity 10 years ago Thursday, with gunfire on café terraces, explosions by a stadium and a nighttime massacre at the Bataclan concert hall leaving 132 people dead and hundreds injured. Many families measure time as “before” and “after” the attacks. The night reshaped France’s sense of safety and purpose, hardening security while deepening a civic reflex for solidarity that endures a decade on.

The surreal spectacle of Ahmed al-Sharaa strolling through the White House—greeting supporters, playing basketball with American military officials, and schmoozing with congressional leaders—would have been dismissed as fever-dream fantasy just two years ago. Yet here we are, watching a former al-Qaeda affiliate, once hunted by American forces in Iraq, receiving the royal treatment from a US president who described him as a “young, attractive guy” with a “very strong past.”

Microsoft is taking a page from OpenAI’s playbook, literally. Bloomberg first reported that the tech giant plans to leverage its partner’s custom chip development to bolster its own struggling semiconductor efforts, a move that looks increasingly pragmatic given Microsoft’s lackluster performance compared to rivals like Google and Amazon. The arrangement is straightforward: OpenAI is designing AI chips with Broadcom, and Microsoft gets full access to the innovations.

Federal Reserve rate cut odds for December have fallen to near coin toss levels, signaling rising uncertainty among investors ahead of the Dec. 10 meeting, according to data source CME's FedWatch tool. Markets now price roughly a 52% chance of a 25 basis point cut, down sharply from 95% a month ago and 65% a week ago. A potential 25 bps cut would push the benchmark interest rate range down to 3.5%-3.75%.

Health insurance has once again become a battleground in US politics. With costs rising and government subsidies under pressure, Republicans and Democrats remain sharply divided over how much the government should pay for health insurance and how much should be left to market forces. Supporters of public investment say broader coverage strengthens the economy and protects families. Critics say it drives up costs and weakens competition.
