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.

Food banks and pantries have been experiencing historic demand since SNAP benefits halted on Nov. 1 for many Americans due to the federal government shutdown. That halt affected nearly 42 million Americans, many of whom are older or low-income, and use benefits to help pay for groceries and other essentials. President Donald Trump late Wednesday night signed a funding bill to end the longest government shutdown in U.S.

We have come a long way in our search for straight hair. While the first straightener was invented in 1909, there were days of using an ironing board to smooth out the frizz, and now we have pretty much any tool and product under the sun promising sleeker strands whenever we want. But if you’re looking for a more permanent solution, a.k.a.

Nikola Jokić scoring 50 or more points had never been enough for the Denver Nuggets to win. Until now. Jokić tied the highest-scoring performance in the NBA this season with 55 points, and the Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 130-116 on Wednesday night for their sixth straight victory. The Nuggets were 0-4 in his previous 50-point games. “It’s a good feeling,” the three-time NBA MVP said.

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.”

Not long ago, after a day of work, a colleague and I met for a friendly game of racquetball at our university gym. In the newly designed locker room, I began pulling off my shirt to change when he quickly stopped me: “You can’t do that here.” Undressing, it turned out, was now permitted only in small private stalls—which struck me as odd.

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.

"We're talking about a lot of players here who have never seen their country at a men's World Cup," said Clarke, who missed out on selection for the 1990 tournament as a player. "So for them, what a chance to become instantly written into the history books of Scotland. That's what's there, the chance is there to do it. "I've been fortunate enough to see Scotland a few times at a World Cup.

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.

Four years after its landmark report A Global Deal for Our Pandemic Age, the G20 High Level Independent Panel on Financing the Global Commons for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, recently reconvened by the South African G20 Presidency, has found that the world remains dangerously underprepared for future pandemics and must take urgent, coordinated action to accelerate financing for sustainable and equitable pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPR).

THE UNITED FAMILY Of course, Yorke and McClaren go back a long way.  Dwight joined United from Aston Villa during the summer of 1998 and McClaren became Alex Ferguson’s assistant in February 1999. Famously, they lifted the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League at the end of that iconic season.  Both men left the club in the early 2000s to pursue other projects, but they have remained part of the family, with Yorke working as an ambassador and McClaren returning for a spell as Erik ten Hag’s assistant coach.

The anti-carbon movement is losing steam. That hasn’t stopped Pictet, a large Swiss money manger, from finding clean-energy stocks that pack some power. The greenies are on the run.

Michael RaceBusiness reporter BBC Sean FarringtonBusiness presenter Chris O'Shea hasn't lived in Scotland for decades but the boss of Centrica, the owner of British Gas, is worried over the future of the energy industry in his homeland.
